It's the time span that annoys me. He lost a big part of his "family" and it seemed like he forgave Hana over night. And all the talk about everyone stood up for her and chased Ango away. I almost don't want her to get reunited with Arashi. Stop being so blessed, happy and lucky! :lol

I guess he just didn't see it as something that needed forgiveness. I feel it would be almost uncharacteristic of him if he angst about it for too long.

About hana... well, main heroine and all that.

Also she was nearly raped and nearly murdered not that long ago. Let's not forget that. :p
 
Trying to get more powerful =/= losing your powers and trying to get them back

I count Ichigo being too emo to fight as him losing his powers btw. Story-wise they're essentially indistinguishable.


Aren't you guys glad that Bleach has all this rich character development? Kubo truly is the second coming of Jane Austen.

I can't wait for Ichigo's philosophy on fighting to change yet again.
 
Ichigo's power drops were

- when Byakuga stabbed him
- During the fight with Yammy, because he was emo
- after the final getsuga
- after breaking Zangetsu

That's all I can think off.

Bleh, a flashback within a flashback, can't wait to see what close buddies the two have been and how tragic it is that they had to fight.

Bleach
Jesus Christ just fuck already... oh wait she's really dead now. So worst bankai ever? And Ichigo has to start from scratch again, sure has never happened before.

He went emo way more often than that, right?

I remember him going emo during the Fullbring arc before his friends showed up. Or does that still count as the final getsuga?

I just counted the times when Ichigo "lost" his power. Did he lose his power again after getting the fullbring or was is before that? If it was before, then I don't think it counts.

Kiruko-san will live on after its cancellation in the form of porn on pixiv.

Bwahahahaha. Not going to lie I was surprised to see it was failing. Due to the ridiculous amount of porn being drawn I thought it a smashing success.
Bleach
Blergh. Why does Ichigo always have to suck. We've been through the "get in touch with your shinigami whatchamacallit" song and dance so many times before.



Thanks, I'll check it out.

If he doesn't suck he can't powerup, man! Bleach is about development. Can't you see ichigo developing his resolve to protect? GOSH
 
Bleach

Anything was better than last week's chapter. Congrats for that, Kubo.

I still don't believe Retsu is dead or will stay dead. Teasing the name of Zaraki's zanpakuto was a shitty thing to do and we probably won't get to know it until his next battle.

The part with Ichigo was so ... whatever. Do your thing strawberry head, I don't even care anymore. The next form of his getsuga will probably be an arrow. That's right, Ichigo is going to shoot arrows out of his sword.
 
Bleach

Yo, maybe all of this is a secret ploy for us to wish Ichigo was a boring invincible hero, by making the alternative so pathetic that we'd be okay with anything?!

I can't believe this entire HOLY SHIT QUINCIES arc we haven't seen hide nor hair of Ishida or his dad since the beginning (or wait, was that the Fullbright bit)

I fucking adore the color spread but it seems like silly Oda has forgotten Zoro's scar once again.
Ok where to begin, Aokiji having a mission a pleasant surprise, I'm very curious about on which side he is now. Momo is a cunning bastard, that's for sure lol. And dito at Franky, things are going too smoothly so far, something is not right.
Also Bepo spotted.

Sad for hungry joker, glad for haikyuu! The match against datekou was so good.

So Stat Flow where is the PTT for apologizing to all OP fans lol

Can't believe how shitty bleach is again, seems like the good chapter with Yamamotos fight were something special.

Naruto has a flashback in a flashback. I'm not interested


One Piece was a good chapter to show how the world now knows that the Straw Hats are in the New World and they are dangerous as ever. Want to know if both alliances will join eventually. Aokij is a boss, I still wonder who are the new Admirals.

Also I didn't expect DonFlamingo really quitting the Warlords

Nice chapter! The "battle" of Aokiji with Dofla was as I expected it. Still cool. DD is surely a strong guy. I can't wait for the conversation that will follow. It's quite creepy that DD didn't do anything. Kaidou must be a beast of power...

Bleach: C

Well, what can I say. It's easy to bounce back from last week. I will admit, I was like *rolls eyes* at the unohana BS, but I can't lie, I was amped up about the fact that Kenpachi is getting his zanpakto.

Meanwhile on the other side of the zanpakto world, Ichigo is a little pussy and now he's going home. That's wonderful. I know I'm not the only one who thought Renji looked manly as fuck. And didn't say shit either. Boss. As for Ichigo and his training, he was referencing all the time Ichigo has been fighting since FGT, right? Huh, I'm somewhat interested.

Fullbring was like a bastardized version of getting powers, it wasn't the right method. Then, we got this sword method, made by Urahara with no other questions asked about it. We also know that snake has been the one jacking methods from all of the Royal Guard, so I'm thinking this back to basics shit will at least be something fresh.
 

YAWN

Eh, the only bad thing about Bleach was Unohana's supposed death. We learnt Kenpachi's finally received his true Zanpakuto, and we're about to get Ichigo's origin story, A.K.A, Isshin's goddamn past! How long have you guys been clamouring on about that?

Great chapter, things are really moving now. I just wonder what's doflamingos back up plan, he must have something in his sleeve. But I think he will just go on full assault to luffy because he knows he's more powerful than them.

also, ROBIN! :3

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Bleach
So essentially, going from shitty Royal gimmick island to gimmick island "powering up", it turns out Ichigo wasnt even allowed to power up in this way anyway. So essentially Kubo has wasted entire months of "storytelling" to send us on to the actual Ichigo training location.

The worst.

Naruto
Actually kinda good, and at least the battle was legible and okay to follow! Always felt the Gaara 1-tail battle from Part 1 was like THE Naruto high point, so stuff kinda getting back to that area is appreciated. But then a flashback within a flashback. Sigh.

One Piece
Its so weird having a srs bsns character like Law steering the plot instead of Luffy's haphazard whims. No wonder the crew feels on edge. "We're PLANNING shit now? Christ." Also SNOT-NOSED BRAT is Sanji's final boss character. Interesting stuff about Ao Kiji as well. Man... just so much covered in a chapter. HOW DOES A WRITER DO IT (glares above with disdain)

Oh man, I want to see Momonuske troll the crap out of Sanji and Brooke all the time.

... wait that would mean I'd want him to join the strawhats, oh noes. D:

Naruto

And we've somehow gone into a flashback of a flashback between Madara and Harashima.

It pisses me off so much tbh, I absolutely love OP but it's treatment of supposedly competent female characters is beyond garbage.

Well neither her or Nami has done much since the the timeskip which is totally disappointing. Smoker's assistant got more focus than those two and we all know how she ended up being treated as a character in this arc. :(

Nice to see Robin, who used to be a respectable, strong female, has been relegated to nothing more than Fanservice. God, what has she actually done in the past 40+ chapters?
Dofla's trip to Punk Hazard was also pointless. Nothing even happened...

The last time we thought we'd heard about Isshin's past, Ichigo was like "whatever, man", so I'm not getting my hopes up.

Dofla stepping down from being a warlord has to count for something.

Yeah, but Oda could have just cut out the trip to Punk Hazard and saved us a chapter. I mean really, what would have been lost? He was just trying to hype us with a fake Dofla vs Aokiji to make the past chapter seem better.

The hinting at what Aokiji is now doing and what Aokiji was hinting at for the marines to prepare as well as the dialogue with Smoker would have felt alot more random.
