One thing I can always count on Kubo is, well he makes Ichigo have some pretty awesome angles and panels. Kirge was feeling so pressured by him and even frightened, when was the last time someone felt that way at Ichigo. I loved it, and then the panel of just one of Ichigo's eyes. Sternritter in Soul Society are gonna get so destroyed, I cant wait to see their faces when they learn they cant seal his bankai. Show it to them Ichigo!

it having something to do with Fullbring would be a nice, sensible way to explain it. Having a call back to the "that's not bankai" thing or the part shinigami thing would be pretty dumb... IDK. Bleach and Naruto are both pretty much losing me at the moment.

99% sure it's just for himself. why would he care about the others? Also him bringing everyone back would make the whole beating kabuto thing a waste of time and like 1000 chapters... uurk

No, you are reading a classic Japanese tale of love, betrayal, and psychology.

Naruto was complete shit today as per usual, but I didn't really need to tell you that did I? Boring stuff overall, and Dan/Tsunade's bit annoyed me, however there was a single moment that wasn't as bad. It looks like the Kages are in this for the long haul, though knowing kishi none of them will die and they'll actually beat Madara.

Bleach

I won't lie, I actually liked this chapter. I think there's a constant mathematical chance that I will enjoy a Bleach chapter (1/7 perhaps?) and this was it. Soul society being thrown into a panic wasn't anything special, but Ichigo actually FIGHTING AND WINNING with Bankai was a first. For the first time since his fight Byakuya, his speed in Bankai has been noted as being "too strong." If Ichigo can actually speed blitz his opponents now, then his Bankai actually has a function now instead of being a useless power up. I just hope kubo doesn't bring back that retarded mask (though I do miss Hollow Ichigo). Seeing that smug quincy captain sweat was a threat.

So is it Wergo or Welgo? I've heard it's pronounced with a V since it's meant to be German...
Wergo sounds more likely as it sounds like ""Virgo".

Either way, I'm curious if he's the real big bad of this arc. The steak-face says otherwise...

As for Kinemon, he's awesome. I can see Zoro making great use of his ability to cut god damn explosions.

And Kinemon is a fire-based dragon slayer if I ever saw one.

Virgo with the meat-face swag. Another awesome chapter. Of course, Zoro's gotta give the nod to Kinemon. Truly an unpredictable arc.

Naruto
Already expected Madara to live through it. Also, thing's seem like a mess with Kishi trying to squeeze in some Dan-Tsunade time last minute.

Bleach
Banter wasn't funny, and it dragged for too long- nothing unexpected. Urahara just went and showed that Ichigo's time at HM was zzzzzz.

Bleach

Urahara was like "play time is over LOL which have bigger fish to fry"

Would be interesting if Kubo gave a good reason why Ichigo's bankai is immune but we'll see.


Naruto

Crap.

Dan/Tsunade was kinda ok and i guess Madara basically outed the issue Kabuto kept hinting on?

Now the scene is ripe with The Sauce appearing to save them all or some horseshit.


One Piece

And it was someone completely new, damn you Oda lol

Interesting to see more of this wego/law dynamic and it looks like they knew each other for a long time, maybe when they were children (could be the "Older brother/Younger Brother" dynamic even though they might not be related)

Ceasar knocking them out is intriguing since he seems to be weak as fuck otherwise and Sanji once again showing the failed potential of current Nami imo.

Samurai seems boss as fuck with that new technique to the point current Zoro who is fully impressed (and might want to test himself against him and/or learn that technique)

Wolf Guy is better than 95% of everything I've seen you talk about.

There, I said it.



Anyway One Piece was pretty awesome, I had to reread it:

- Was Monet "made" by Law or is this a fruit power?

- Law seems to have some history with Virgo so I assume we're gonna see a flashback sooner or later. If this means Law being an important part of the story I'm all for it.

- The power that knocked Law, Smoker, Tashigi and the Strawhats out must come from Virgo I assume, the real question is however, is it Haki or something else? I don't remember anyone having selective Haki so why wasn't CC knocked out? Either that or CC's fruit has more than poison attributes.

For rape.

Edit: The hate directed at Wolf Guy is completely unwarranted, at its core it's a story about love and finding your place in the world. You guys just don't get it.

Nope, serious business. I've done plenty of write-ups for those series. I just usually do quick ones these days like a random chapter of Daisy or Countrouble. I was hyping Freezing for awhile though and now as I predicted, it has turned back into a streaming pile of hell. Still was pretty damn hype for that time. Beam can back me up on that. I'll post a lot more shoujo just for you GR. Full paragraphs on Ao Haru Ride TBD.

See, this is what I'm talking about. I picked up Freezing because of you. I was suspicious because Beam you know but still, I gave it a chance and it was shit with shit fanservice.

But yeah, I'm not lying when I say that I've never seen you post about these series. I'm sorry. Hey, at least we agree that punpun is great!
