It's....DTL. You could bring up the fact that the dragon is a homage to a 1-shot Oda wrote 15 years ago back when DTL was probably in diapers but again....it's DTL. Don't bother.

He only needed his words to troll with everyone not his powers like Aizen. And he said he was not playing for reals. Pariston for me. And he is MANLY since he shed a tear for Netero.
Oh, Aizen was trolled by Ichigo. Cmon.

As in "Heathcliff"
I am curious how people felt about Naruto...
I felt that the author were rushed through war to get the point where it could lead to final battle. I would love to see full battles of those "resurrected" ninja and current ninja.
I was bitter that they ended battle too quickly.

Not only this, but the battles he actually had that didn't involve Naruto were not good. They were full of talk no jutsu. Not to mention, the rookie 9 that were supposed to be important didn't get ANY fights at all. Other than Team 10 getting a fight with Asuma...which ruined the great closure from the Shikamaru arc in the first place.
I was expecting a bunch of great one on one fights like in the Sasuke retrieval arc. Shikamaru using his genius (ALONE)...Kiba finally getting a 1v1, and Shino possibly having his first great multi-chapter brawl of the series. A Lee fight that could rival Lee vs Kimimaro. Hinata getting to be strong.
All options that would have for sure pleased many readers, but instead we get Darui vs Kinkaku and Ginkaku.
Bleach
captain mayuri got style and those two shinigami where pretty good
decent chapter
Naruto-shitty chapter
Nearly an entire chapter of every filler character slobbering over naruto's junk(ka,gai and those kids)
Am not sure why tobi thinks he shouldn't be worried about the most hax guy in the universe getting in the way of his plan.
Well at least sauce is back but why do I get the feeling that his not going to show up again for another 5 chapters, not even goku took this long coming from Earth to planet namek.
Wolf guy 65 -88
The Great namek rape arc
-I didn't think wolfguy could get any more emo but he just did by 3 folds
-this whole I will post rape video on youtube if you don't find me so dumb, there more worried about the video then her getting killed if he doesn’t show up.
The worst part about it is the romance, I can’t even stomach it, maybe this is what reading twilight must be like.

One Piece
Buggy seems to make more sense as a Shichibukai, but the power does seem more like Law's ability. Very curious.
Dragon killing Uso-Zoro combo attack. So awesome.
This arc so far feels like it has the old magic back. That classic One Piece feeling of "I have no friggin' idea what's going to happen next" that's been kind of missing for a while, between the momentum of the Whitebeard War and the inevitable journey to Fishman Island and the New World. The last few weeks I've had literally no idea what to expect when I open the next chapter, which is a pretty awesome feeling.

Naruto
Looks like Tobi's finally going to put in some work. About damn time. Hopefully the next chapter won't resort to more talking.
One Piece
Cool chapter. It raises a ton of questions, which I like. Zoro being Zoro, hah! Also the Dragon-Samurai fusion? I see what you did there, Oda. I'm hoping this alludes to Wano being about the relationship between Samurai and Dragons, but with some sort of twist so it doesn't end up being like FI.

One Piece:
I know everyone is thinking this must be the work of Law, but has anyone asked the obvious question yet? How the hell are the legs taking without a mouth? When we've seen Law's ability at work, it's just been the seperated head talking, not the other limbs. This leads me to think it's something else at work and not Law or Buggy... Maybe even Doflamingo (We still don't know all the details of his ability)?

Well Oda subtly acknowledging that the dragon idea was from Fairy Tail was a gesture of good faith.
Seriously, just shut up
Or, you know, the fact that Oda had a One Piece character fighting and slaying a dragon back in 1994.
Surely one or the other.

Undeserved? Wait what? We've gone into full on shipping wars in Manga-GAF
What we've seen of Doflamingo's powers make me think it's some sort of "puppet" or better put "string" power. I doubt Doflamingo would leave someone alive. Doesn't seem like his style.
I've read good theories that he might be able to control blood. Think Bloodbending from Avatar: TLA.
Yeah lotsa juniors lately, good stuff. I could use less "does anyone else care about <manga tons of people here read>?" though, haha.
Not only that, but we also know Law's ability keeps the body parts connected, which means this dude would have his head somewhere and his legs/thoughts will react to what he sees with that head. See here:
No, he was talking.
His thought process was about not having a head PERIOD.
I assume it's not Law's ability, and if anyone asks Oda in an SBS he'll give the usual "he was talking from his heart" stuff.
Hunter x Hunter
Dunno what you guys want. How was this weird? It was Hunter being Hunter being Hunter. It was the hunterest chapter ever. You guys are so silly.
Even Ging couldn't take how cute Gon is in front of him, haha. He couldn't keep a straight face.
Pariston was some great shit. Now that we know what he's about though it will be hard for him to act out on it.
He's sort of like a Hisoka-type wildcard now. I wonder when he'll show up again.. though I can understand why he won't bother fucking with Cheadle, he's probably bored of her already.
Undeserved in the manga sense. Naruto has shown next to 0 interest in Hinata romantically. She keeps saying she'll change, she'll be stronger, etc but she never does. She's outright told Naruto she loved him, and we never saw the result of that. Does Naruto not give a fuck? Did Kishi just troll the readers? Either way, as of Naruto doesn't like Hinata, in "that way."
So really, any future pairing involving the 2 characters will be ham-fisted and contrived.

Didnt he cut Oz Jr's leg with an invisible string? I dont see Doflamingo being involved here.
With that said, predicting One Piece is more or less impossible. Like when everyone tried to guess who Duval was before he took off his mask.
As for Buggy, it would make sense but remember the mini-buggy arc? His tied up legs and arms were never conscious and certainly talking to his crewmates that were looking for it
Hunter X Hunter: C
Uh...okay. Scribbles all over the place. That ain't cool. I feel a hiatus coming on guys...
Pariston was just "playing"...? I don't know if I buy that. Nor do I like this outcome. What the fuck is a Cheadle and why should she succeed NETERO? C'mon. I could've bought Ging or Pariston.
He'll be back.
Hitman Reborn: B-
A bit too much talking at the beginning, but seeing Fon go hard was especially nice. I'm hoping we can see more tagteaming between Hibari and Fon rather than just Fon vs Mamon stuff.
I couldn't tell what was going on in a couple of those panels either...

He couldn't keep a straight face because Togashi wouldn't draw one. Doodles everywhere!
It's a product of the bad writing of Kishimoto. Kishimoto WANTS the pairing to be realistic, but he fails terribly at it.
But guess what, what you say about Hinata is true about ALL of the rookie 9 + Team Gai (outside of Shikamaru). None of them have gotten stronger or grown at all. It just so happens that Hinata also loves Naruto. He gave Hinata a great moment during the Pain fight, but then he fell short afterwards.
Fuck Sakura, too. She's the worst character ever.
I thought the consensus was that Isshin used the Final Getsuga Tenshou at some point in the past, and that's what caused him to lose his powers, just like Ichigo did.

I still love it but have you watched the inoue takehiko documentary? he has a real hard time with coming up with ideas or where to go next and it is definitely felt in vagabond with musashi

She's not a bad character, just badly used by the author
Trojita
Rapid Response Threadmaker
She's a triple star Hunter in an Elite Hunter group that likely would have been vice chairman if Netero wasn't so keen to have somebody interesting as his vice Chairman. She was also shown for the first time at the same time as Pariston >_>
I expect 4 chapters more before a hiatus, but then again Togashi went awhile with his doodles till he quit before.
No, she is a bad character. Everything about her is bad. It just doesn't help that Kishimoto doesn't know how to use her as a good supporting character.

I was thinking about that afterwards.

Im saying she had potential but never actually did anything with it. Cool powers, nice design. She represented the female side of things which I consider important.
Plot-wise however she never did anything once Sasuke left. She went from main character to barely a secondary character.
In the end, its all about a dude battling another dude.

Yeah it was pretty messy. Doesn't look messy enough to be fixed in the volume- OH AND SPEAKING OF VOLUMES I just saw this a while ago

ichigo's face on the jump cover looks awful. i hate the way kubo draws his noses when faces are looking forward. he makes 'em look like bird beaks.

i really wanna see illumi fight
I'm of the complete opposite opinion. I think the cover page looks epic. But that's just me.

Well Oda subtly acknowledging that the dragon idea was from Fairy Tail was a gesture of good faith. I wish he had took the idea further and gave it epic attacks instead of resorting to keeping it as tame as the weak unappealing dragons all in How to Train Your Dragon.
Oh and what happened to the people who believed the dragon was a df user? Oda is quite predictable so it should have been clear that it was, in fact, a dragon and not a df user.
1994 while Mashima was 17 and wet behind the ears.
I don't know who gave you false information but dragons aren't new. They've been in more than 50% of all battle manga in some way, shape, or form and are a huge staple in Japanese history.
You're annoying as fuck btw but that's why I love you.
You just now noticed that? LOL

I love how in One Piece, where talking animals, mermaids, and floating cities are expected, dragons are legendary.
And in the same chapter, Zoro cuts off its head. Holy shit.

Expected?
Talking animal.. no
Mermaid... yes but rarer than rare
Floating city.. no
skeletons.. no
Mostly out of convenience I guess, everyone they meet would freak out because of Chopper and Brooke like when they first met them. No time to draw that
One piece (and every other shounen) is like Pokemon, legendary means it really exist. Prophecy will always comes true, etc.
lol Sakura.
Kishimoto can give her massive power up and have her fucking kill... MADARA and I still wouldn't respect her at all. Goddamn, she's like a neglected school assignment, and the assignment is due tomorrow, urgh so much wasted potential.

I hope Naruto just goes for Hinata just so he can reject Sakura for all the bullshit and break her heart. I would personally like Naruto to go for Karin but its looking like Hinata.
Parallax
best seen in the classic "Shadow of the Beast"
i thought he meant the more recent one. damn.
