It is obvious that Magi's quality is proportional to the presence of Mor's thighs. It's only logical.

Oda just keeps chugging new characters left and right. I'm really excited to see who gets to be punched by that fighting king, but i really hope this wouldn't take more than 3 chapters to finish. I want to see lucy fight in the tournament.
I agree that there may be too many characters that wouldn't be important later on, but I'm glad that Oda keeps the tournament interesting by introducing fighters from other islands and now I have no idea who will be the winner of B-Block, at first I thought it would be bartolomeo, or maybe it would be bellamy but now the fishman and the ex gladiator comes into the mix which gives the fight an unpredictable outcome because they all look so strong.

Never before has so much story potential been so thoroughly wasted. I hope the one month break gives Ohtaka to work out just what went wrong so she can quickly end this garbage arc and move onto the next one. (read: bring back fucking mor aaaaaaaaaa)
Oh well, maybe the Sinbad spinoff will turn out to be better than the current arc though that's not a very high bar at all. lol

Darn starting to get unhyped for season 2
Unless you're only reason for enjoying Magi is Mor don't worry about it
Darn starting to get unhyped for season 2
?
I thought you liked action irrespective of if the plot made any sense.
It's only 7 pages long.

Not necessarily, wasnt much of a fan of much of Dragonball Z afterall.

That's why I felt Oda handled the fighting really good so far. He could be done with the fodder characters in like 2 chapters, but this way he gives you the feeling that there's really something big going on. You don't want a tournament with several hundred people to be done in like 5 chapters.

I don't know if anyone noticed this or if I am missing something but on page 3 we can see some guys with wolf-like faces. Isn't it a first in OP to have anthropomorphic animals which are non-fruit eaters?
Or am I remembering wrong?

Fodder in OP gets more dignity than either the Captain Commander in Bleach or any kid not part of the main team (naruto, sasuke, shikamaru) in Shippuuden ever did.
If only he was this nice to Robin ... sigh.

Actually, it looks like Nami is coming out of Robins back.
So what happened to the Ohba and Obata new series?
We got trolled.

So when will we know of other series cancellations? I assume that two of the following (Cross manage, Rookie Policewoman, Hungry Joker) will be canceled for the three new series along with Medaka Box which already ended.

I thought a rumor suggested Rookie Policewoman Kiruko is ending in the next issue (the one immediately following the double issue), and Hungry Joker after that.
Hungry Joker will end in issue #24 and Kiruko in issue #25. Or so I've heard.
Was so hoping it was real and that it would have been PCP.
God damn it. And I was excited to read another one of their trainwrecks.

I tell ya guys, I love all of the named characters. Yeah they won't be around for long, but it just creates the idea of a much denser world, peopled by far more than just Luffy's crew and their direct antagonists. This is one of Oda's strengths, the ability to build a hugely peopled and historical culture every time the Strawhats hit a new island. Here we're just seeing how big a deal this tournament is, and getting a glimpse of what's been going on in the world. If they were all just no-names it wouldn't be nearly as satisfying when we get to the later fights. Everyone actually being "someone" I think grants more gravitas to the battles, rather than just being white noise until the Big Ticket Fights.
Bleach
I am so glad we're getting more insight into how Urahara saved the Vizards, and connecting it with Ichigo's history like this makes it even sweeter.
But here's something. To this day Aizen's "because Uraraha was able to make them into complete Vizards, I knew that wasn't the Hogyoku's true ability" confuses the fuck out of me. Here we see how he managed to stabilize them, but what does any of it have to do with Aizen's theory? He hollofied them and said it was partially an experiment to determine the Hogyoku's true nature. Urahara saved them, made them complete Vizards. It seems like that would've proved the OPPOSITE, no? Or is the idea that the Hogyoku was supposed to break DOWN the barrier between Shinigami and Hollow, like Aizen's transformation, but the Vizards were still tightly compartmentalized? And since they were compartmentalized, not merged, the Hyogyoku didn't do what it was supposed to do? That it fulfilled Urahara's wish to save their lives, because he wished to push BACK the hollowfication, not actually encourage the breaking down of that barrier?
With what we see in this chapter, what DID it do, then? Give Urahara the idea for his Quincy/Human injection? Make that injection actually work? I guess I sorta figured out my issue while typing all this out. The Hyogoku was never supposed to make Vizards, with its promise to break down the barrier between shinigami and hollow, it was supposed to make what Aizen became. The Vizards are a pure Urahara concoction, a stabilization of Aizen's infection.

I like with that info you can add Aizen's work as one of the things Urahara robbed and improved for "commercial" use

That ending :lol that lasted long. Seems like they'll keep quiet but at this point there should be at least a couple more people who realized it's Luffy. Hell I'm not even sure if it's a secret now. Cavendish's obsession is a bit creepy.
Liking the fight, and I'm not sure why no one is getting to Cannibal. Is it related to an ability or is he really just chilling? It's crazy.
Soul Catchers though lol. Can't trust the Light Wing guy.

Hey there now! Jump's had some really neat new series lately, while ending a lot of past regulars like Nurarihyon, Reborn and now Medaka. You could have said this a couple years ago but it's not true now.
Soul Catchers though lol. Can't trust the Light Wing guy.
I love 'em too! The Fighting King is all sorts of silly, haha, I love that guy. It's clear they're fodder, but escalation isn't the only way shonen can do things. And at least a couple of them will stay relevant for the arc later, maybe later arcs too.

It seemed to me like the chapter was just there to remind you that Naruto is fighting someone.
Bleach
I'm not sure I understand the logic behind this explanation beyond Isshin needs to put on a fake human body. Not sure where putting his seed into Masaki several times comes into it, but he's gonna do it. Edit musing: How does that even work, anyways? He's like a ghost-man. How is he able to impregnate someone with his fake body?

Lots of awesome fighting. Yeah most are fodder but it was entertaining. It was cool to see Bellamy actually be competent.
So, the newest series in Jump is from the creator of Light Wing. Wasn't that the terrible Soccer manga where the protagonist beat 100 guys in the first chapter?

Yeah, it was pretty silly.
It was during that time Jump was on a soccer high and serialized like 300 soccer manga in two years.

I will read the first couple of chapters of the new series in hopes they are released in the USA someday. Still waiting on Silver Spoon, Medaka Box, Sket Dance and others. Pumped either way though.

Despite people claiming all these named characters are annoying one cool thing about naming "fodder" is that it makes it less and less clear who'll actually win this. A nameless character will lose for sure but a named character has potential. They may not win but they might impact who wins or do something important

Well he's gotta be her total opposite. She's a Quincy/Hollow, so he's gotta be a Shinigami/Human. Wearing the gigai gives him that second half. Considering how generic the gigai looked there, I'm assuming it adopts the form of the soul that's placed within it. And it must be.. very anatomically correct, if it can let the wearer produce soul babies aww yiss. DNA must persist into your soul after you die somehow.

So the artist for Caterpillar, the spinoff of Arachnid died the other day. The guy was only 27 too. Only a year older than me . Think I'll finally start it in his honor.

Yeah I wonder what new series will be picked up.
Though with the relatively recent announcement of Magi, I really cant imagine they will pick up any of those other long series anytime soon. (if they passed on Sket Dance anime, then I dont think theyd get the manga)
Who is the pink haired girl on top right beside the Gintama dude? And the 5 characters with small boxes on bottom right?
And so young too, RIPSo the artist for Caterpillar, the spinoff of Arachnid died the other day. The guy was only 27 too. Only a year older than me
