How is Stark supposed to be a bad guy?

I have no idea what's going on as my only exposure to bleach is through toonami since its revival (so like episodes 230-260), but Stark seems awesome

he's TRAGIC

or supposed to be, anyway

 

[Seda]

Never played a fire emblem. Commercial has me interested. How is it in general, this one specifically?

Critical reviews of Awakening might put it as the best rated SPRG of all time. I'm serious. Higher than FFT by the aggregate sites.

 

[Knux-Future]

Apparently that reveal is obvious right away, and is revealed relatively early anyway.

It really is obvious...but still

He's just allied with the bad guys. He himself isn't exactly bad.

 

[Shard]

I feel compelled to play Planscape: Torment now.

 

[BatDan]

Hey everybody we're turning back the pendulum again I hope you like turning it baaaaack.

well, FFT has an 82 on Gamerankings

 

[Knux-Future]

Not a main character?

Get a flashback?

u ded

edit: Oh. It's not out yet.

It's out Monday. Apparently it's one of the best (going on JP impressions/American reviews.) Dunno if it means anything anymore but IGN gave it a 9.6.

I've never bought an FE before but I'm picking it up because I loved the demo. Very slick tactics game.

 

[Seda]

These espada-history flashbacks are dumb

 

[GaimeGuy]

So stark kills everyone by virtue of being around them, yet for some reason, the named characters in Bleach are "special" and immune to his "powers".

Wtf is this bullshit.

 

[RagnarokX]

Fire Emblem commercial!

Watching these attempts at sad backstories only makes me realize how much better One Piece does sad backstories.

It's a rule in shonen mangas/animes. If a character is about to die, they have to have a flashback.

 

[Amikami]

People have said it's one of the best.
It probably helps this is the first localized FE to have "Casual" mode (meaning no permadeath).

It's not out yet, but the series is very good. Imagine a chess tournament, except you play it as a war game and your pieces have names and get better and better as you use them. But if they die you lose the piece forever (unless you play in ultimate pussy mode which you shouldn't since that's for pussies).

Sounds interesting. Gonna have to check it out. Thanks.

 

[Ultratech]

So Aizen just walked around and found all these guys?

Welp, guess it doesn't matter now. Poor guy's dead.

He works for Aizen. That's it.

Kubo sucks at making bad guys evil. He gives so many of them likable personalities and sad backstories that make them all sympathetic.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

oh, so he didn't actually need the eyepatch.

he just had the eyepatch because WHY THE FUCK NOT

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

LOl all those guys are dead.

 

[everyday math]

No feels for me. Sorry Bleach.

 

[Shard]

Tension and drama/characters built up well? What's that?

 

[BatDan]

oh, so he didn't actually need the eyepatch.

he just had the eyepatch because WHY THE FUCK NOT

At least Zaraki has the excuse of "I do it to limit myself because I'm too fucking strong".

 

[MetatronM]

Wasn't the explanation a few episodes that she was PART of Starrk? Now she's just some chick he found to not be lonely?

 

[RagnarokX]

oh, so he didn't actually need the eyepatch.

he just had the eyepatch because WHY THE FUCK NOT

It's basically his hollow mask...

Wasn't the explanation a few episodes that she was PART of Starrk? Now she's just some chick he found to not be lonely?

No. They said in this very episode that they split from the same being. They don't know what they originally looked like.

 

[Knux-Future]

I would say Bleach could learn feel lessons from Casshern but...

I like living and stuff

 

[Beelzeboss]

I wonder what happened to that orange haired dude that was supposed to be the main character.

 

[Amikami]

oh, so he didn't actually need the eyepatch.

Eyepatches are COOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! Like swords N shit

 

[Seda]

Not even a few episodes ago, this episode even.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

"Once war breaks out, both sides become evil."

Leave the hippy mumbo jumbo to E7, Bleach.

No, she did split off from him.

He works for Aizen. That's it.

This is another reason why One Piece is so good. For the most part, it just makes it's villains unrepentant dicks that exist only for the catharsis of Luffy punching them in the face.

 

[DrFunk]

Oh they're STILL fighting

 

[Doctor Decimate]

Eyepatches are COOOOOOOOOOOL!!!! Like swords N shit

except on girls. then they're AAAAAAW SHE NEEDS PROTECTION

...shoulda given Lara Croft an eyepatch

 

[Jintor]

Soul Eater's animation is fucking sweet and I think it's got a decent sense of humour. I hear it turns to shit around episode 26 or so though

 

[everyday math]

Uh oh...

 

[GaimeGuy]

So basically Stark was a shitty version of King Bradley.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Even Aizen had enough of this bullshit.

 

[Ultratech]

Aizen finally deciding to end this shit?

 

[BatDan]

Oh shit, I think it's time for Troll-zen.

 

[Knux-Future]

trollin time

 

[RagnarokX]

No, she did split off from him.

Or he split from her. Or they both split from someone else entirely.

 

[789shadow]

Oh shit.

OH SHIT

IT'S STARTING.

[Mr. Patch]

Is Aizen about to start trolling again?

 

[Astral]

TROLOLOLOLOLOLOL!

 

[Tamanon]

Aizen trying to move that plot along.

 

[ReiGun]

Hitsu is lucky he's inexplicably the most popular character. He should be out of the fight by now.

She wasn't winning fast enough, apparently.

 

[everyday math]

Well damn.

 

[DrFunk]

Shame

 

[Preble]

Bout time this fool did something,..

 

[B-Dubs]

Time for Aizen to start trolling...next week

 

[Knux-Future]

yo damn

no fucks given.

 

[Beelzeboss]

Even he realized this was taking too long
