Bleach 481

Marvelous chapter. Seems Uryu got new stylish clothes while everyone including him had a great cool pose.

The entrance of the ~antagonist was splendid especially Ichigo's line. So cool. Regardless Im curious if he managed to get our favorite Grimmjow involved and hope the tear is investigated next chapter. Its an interesting start compared to two previous arcs that initially took place in my favorite setting, school.

 

[Stat Flow]

Oh. I didn't even realize the chapter was called "The Tearing" and was referencing the tear between the two worlds. Silly me. :|

 

[Sai]

what if sasuke gets rid of his emotional ties to the world like kankuro and sasori?

Yeah, if he has no more reason to protect Konoha, he'll likely just pass on.

Because of Kotoamatsukami, he may be forced to fight Sasuke against his will though.

Nah it was ''the Tearing''. I cried

Ugh, Sasuke and his shitty friends are back. Talk about a nosedive.

And the word Aranncar means to tear in Spanish so....

touche

Wasn't trying to be. Hell even I've started skipping those argument posts (at least the ones that seem to happen every weekend from the same person), so I didn't want anyone misinterpreting not "reading the thread" with wanting to avoid the BS.

You weren't trying to be touche? Or... you weren't trying to be touchy?

 

[That Singer Guy...]

All 3 big chapters sucked this week, now to wait for HxH.

Ha, you're right. Ignore my last post Panzon.

Naruto

I liked this quote from a user another forum

So... does anyone else think that Orochimaru has become the Deus ex Machina of Naruto. Danzo needs a sharingan arm- Orochimaru. Konoha needs someone with Wood Kekkai Genkai- Orochimaru. Water dude finds something that can give him control of war- Orochimaru. Just seems that whenever Kishi needs some weird **** to happen, he always has Orochimaru do it.

And the reply

Indeed. Funny how every major surprise plot twist is somehow linked to Orochimaru.

Hashirama also deserves some credit, given how he (unintentionally) gave rise to everything related to the Rinnegan in the plot, along with stuff like the Zetsu army.

Nearly all the villains in this arc have his DNA, from fodder like Zetsu to bosses like Tobi and Madara!

 

[smurfx]

the sad thing is that orochimaru is much more interesting than the other villains he helped out along the way and he got a really cheap death. -_- he still should have been the last boss.

He's totally not dead though. He's still partially inside Kabuto, and he's probably going to be completely revived at some point. Remember the small white snake that crawls away under the rocks when Itachi died? Big foreshadowing there.

I agree he's an amazing villain, probably the best villain the series has seen up to this point.

It just adds to the fact of how much of a fucking joke Oro and his ambition turned out to be in part 2.

Until Kishi made him look like a joke in Part 2.

It is, I hope more Color Walk's come.

 

[Stealth Editor]

I love Orochimaru but I think it's mostly because of it's voice actress. Perfect creepy voice

 

[Stat Flow]

Orochimaru was the best villain Kishimoto thought up. Not only that, but he was one of the best characters in the manga. But that's not surprising considering that Orochimaru was the big bad of Part 1. And part 1 was fucking fantastic.

Alone, part 2 looks like shit. But when you consider that it was done by the same person who did Part 1? It's like a slap in the face.

FREE OROCHIMARU.

chunk of black flame fell on it and it died.


edit:fuck oro he was lame as shit

 

[smurfx]

i have no confidence in kishi to properly write him anymore. he is way too focused on bullshit eye techniques to make him a viable threat.

MI's version of this is brutal... the chapter though, soon there will be just text and no more art at this rate.

Naruto: ewww
Bleach: hmmm
One Piece: ha ha ha

Insightful.

Not sure why but hey.

Makes two of us. I've now gone through like 4 supposed "reads" of L&BH. It's quite good but I keep losing focus. Maybe it is the +1 enemy system and it feels episodic...IDFK.

Not for me. Star Wars prequels really raised the bar for stuff like that.

And Tobi/Madara/Whoever is better? C'mon breh.

So the unknown rule is there

no compesation if its a order! How cheap

Disappointing ending. Was hoping for a fight...

 

[mysticwhip]

oro and tobi are both shit villains, fuck em both bruh bruh.

Hxh
lame, i wanted to see illumi fuck killua up

 

[survivor]

They are all shit

So what's left? Sasuke?

Yea, very slim pickings here (even if you add The Sauce LOL)

I would say to try 1 more time, if not then oh well


HxH

Killua basically found out that the other is a "person" too can make requests without much harm.

Very nice, plus with that power being broken as fuck Illumi will be even more interested in Killua than he already (creepily) is.

 

[Kazerei]

Hunter X Hunter

I was kind of hoping a fight would break out. I can't really see where Togashi is going with this Alluka subplot. Meh.

 

[Stealth Editor]

Gaara was the best villain

 

[survivor]

Disappointing chapter.

 

[mysticwhip]

So what's left? Sasuke?

the only decent villain naruto has ever had was the first appearance of akatsuki. that's it. just the time when kisame and itachi came and left, best villains in naruto. shit villains before and shit villains after.

Fuck you for leaving out Orochimaru. The Akatsuki all turned out to be pussies.

 

[Kusagari]

Gaara was the best villain

Gaara was a shit villain. He's why I don't get the love of the Chuunin Exams. The later parts of it suck because of Gaara.

Gaara was a pretty good one, led to the best fight in series (naruto gaara) , and Kabuto, always.

 

[smurfx]

HXH

alluka is going to get killed off at some point. that's way too powerful of an ability and no way killua's family doesn't abuse it.

Gaara vs Rock Lee was awesome

Gaara vs Rock Lee was awesome

Yeah, because that's before he was revealed as just another loser kid with mommy issues.

yea they did, but their first appearance was cool as fuck.

oro can kiss my ass.

Anyone else feel like this new Orochimaru stuff is a retcon? It feels like Kishi's trying to extend the war for a bit longer. Sure it adds another mystery (lol) to the plot (lol), but at this point all we really need to see is Tobi's face, Naruto vs Sauce, & Tobi's death. Oh and Kabuto.

One Piece
Hnnnng @ the Wano teases. This sam guy seems to fall under the "new arc, new frans" list. Also wtf at giant babies?? They're either part of an experiment (along with the harpylady), or Oda be teasing Elbaf (or not, I'm not sure if it's even in the NW). Glad to see things moving along quickly.

The villain that had some potential was Itachi until Kishi trolled with him being a good guy all along...
