Can't believe they have just 15 minutes left. Sasuke's "perfect" Susanoo is alright, Madara having Senjutsu makes sense.

I love however than everyone got to look into Naruto's heart, how he had seen great, close people die and how much he doesn't anyone anyone else to.

Bleach was ok, I like the Knight Quincy.

I don't think it is perfect Susanoo. Just his Susanoo with legs. Madara's susanoo did something similar before growing the cloak, and then the stage after that was perfect. Also, Perfect Susanoo is a lot bigger.

Naruto chapter was pretty great in my opinion. I thought all the characters were pretty good and I'm glad to see orochimaru finally joining the fray. Lol. Naruto love for Sasuke had gone public and have mercy Karin...

She's the most embarrassing character in this damn manga. I swear its a love hate thing I have for her, though. She's just so batshit insane, which
I hope
is part of the point of her character. But then again, who knows with the way Kishi presents women in this manga. I got a good laugh though. It's so painful and awkward, it's hilarious to me, especially when Suigetsu's around to comment.

Karin makes Naruto and Sakura's obsession for Sasuke seem mild.

Did you miss the flashback about how they met and how Mikasa became a member of the Jaeger family? He saved her and gave her a reason to live again so that's why he has become everything she will live for, especially now that he's all family she has left. There may be some romantic feelings involved but I think she's mostly (overly) worried about him because she knows from experience that he'll always get into trouble when she's not around.

If Mikasa isn't in love with Eren romantically, then nobody is love with anyone ever romantically.

Men and women of the same age don't just love each other platonically and they didn't meet until she was what, 11 or 12? Whether she thinks he's family or not, she still wants the D.

Why are everyone talking like Eren is Gold Roger, I don't get it

The void century of One Piece is actually the current Titan world, the World Government is hiding the fact they used massive Titans to destroy the prosperous kingdom (the walled city). The will of D are all people who are descendent from Eren who want the world to know the truth that they were all fucking eaten alive by Titans made by the world government. The power to make people Titans is actually a devil fruit ability.

Well I guess but It doesn't make sense for Sasuke to suddenly change the second form of his Susanoo to be the same as Madara's instead if Itachi's. He hasn't even saw Madara doing it so Sharingan couldn't had copy it.

Bleach
Well, we all saw that coming with Hitsugaya. I just hope he doesn't end up getting worfed. As for Soi Fong, I like her look. Hopefully she can win her battle too. There are so many stern ritter in SS right now, that I hope these two guys are just fodder to display how much stronger the Gotei13 have gotten with their bankais stolen.

On a slightly related note, doesn't Ichigo have to relearn his bankai now that he's gotten new zanpakutos?

Naruto
So Naruto shares all his feels with the shinobi world, and finally decides to hulk up now that he sees Sasuke exit spectator mode to actually start fighting? Cool beans. Can we get back to the action next chapter then? PEACE.

She ain't dead. Plus Kubo doesn't kill female characters.
Click to expand...

You do realize that countless fodder have died along with some important people such as Yamamoto and Gin?

Kubo is turning his not killing people thing around in this war.

The poor girl has been stabbed and is not even a shinigami like the rest of them.

Pretty much a civilian like the one that went near Aizen in god mode and died.

Its not hard to believe she might die, especially with no medical attention now that 4th division captain Unohana, is MIA and the 4th division barracks is gone in the shadows which was their hospital.

Kubo doesn't kill important Female characters is pretty true so far but thats not to say he never killed off female characters. Masaki, Kaien's wife, Ishida's mother and many others females have died in Bleach.

Oh right, her. Forgot about those guys. But even she was ultimately killed off screen and only (heavily) implied at that.

Speaking of which, the implication that Mayuri found their bodies never did lead anywhere, did it?

I never said Kubo didn't kill people. Just not females. See: the female espada/hollow squad who all survived. Even Aizen's assistants survived despite being (seemingly) killed twice.

They never said the girl was dead and the BG9 dude kept threatening to finish her off, meaning she was still alive at that point (somehow). Considering other female characters have survived being cut in half and disintegrated, I wouldn't be surprised if she pulled through somehow.

Also, flashback characters don't count. For one, their deaths are always implied or shown off-screen, even in the flashback. And secondly, even One Piece kills people in flashbacks.

Wait, are we arguing whether Mikasa loves Eren romantically or not? Isn't it so painfully obvious that she's indeed in love with him? So much so that she even made him the reason for her living?

Yes, but some people don't buy it and think she just loves him like a brother and not like she wants him inside her.

Noooo shikimaru speak to me,don't go towards the light :(

I don't think kishi stupid enough to kill off his best creation "macgyver ninja" or at least I hope not.

Sadly nobody cares about shikimaru everyone's to busy getting hot & bothered for The sauce

Bleach

Seeing the reappearance shoukou is pretty cool, soi fion smug as ever.

Am looking forward to these captain match ups much more then the final fight baddie, So am enjoying what am reading right now.

There, I said it.

What if I really liked attack on titan when it was about humanity desperate dreaded struggle against these freakish titans, instead of this chosen one bullshit with transforming into titans being a superpower.

I still like attack of the titans when it's about the side non important characters struggle for survive,I couldn't care less about the basement or those crappy main characters like eren, mikasa and especially armin.

Eren should of died but when he came back as a titan, that's when this manga fell off.

Naruto sharing his love for the Sauce with the world is what will give them the power to keep fighting.

Yeah.

Soifon looking good as she kicks ass. Hopefully she doesn't get owned next chapter. Hitsugaya can get curbstomped for all I care.

No it's not, because the very first chapter of One Piece Luffy says he's going to "grow up, find a crew, sail the world, and become king of the pirates" which is exactly what he's been doing the whole series.

That's splitting hairs. The reader figures out about human titans like 8 chapters in. Its not a bait and switch anymore than OP is a bait and switch for not being about organized crime on the seas and/or actually looking for treasure.

Eh. There's a lot Naruto has pulled from the Kyuubi (very lately), never having seen any jinchuriki perform attacks like that before him, and he knew how to work perfectly with Kurama's provided chakra without much instruction from Kurama himself.


You make a good point, but if Kishi wanted to let perfect Susanoo happen for Sasuke and for him to be able to use it well, it's gunna happen when it needs to happen. You know? Anything to move the plot along in a direction, even if Sasuke has to awaken "deep hatred" or unlock "power of friendship" shit as an excuse to get to that form. Which reminds me of something. Sharingans supposedly get stronger after emotional triggers. Kishi has already made an excuse for any powerup to come if there needs to be one.

The first pirate crew we see in the series is Shanks and the way his crew acts is the way Luffy models his crew. The next pirate crew we see is Alivida's who acts like a stereotypical pirate crew would act. The whole series is him sailing to find the treasure One Piece and the series explains why Luffy has to stop at each island along the way.

You also ignore the fact AoT in a monthly series, meaning it spent more then half a year having nothing do with titan transformation before the series introduced the concept. 8 chapters of a weekly series =/= 8 chapters of a monthly.

Nope. It turns out the Spirit King is Aizen's dad and he sent his only begotten son to save mankind and shinigami alike, but along the way Aizen said "Fuck you, pops, bout to commit some patricide up in this mofucka"...then he got jailed away and is waiting for daddy to post bail.

Aizen returns and reveals the entire Quincy army is in fact just the espada and we never actually left the the war in the fake town it was all just illusions to make Ichigo more powerful so that he could defeat the soul king for Aizen.

Yes, this is also acceptable. All I want is for Bleach to end on the most epic Aizen troll of all time.

Characters that appear in a flashback? Oh they are so dead.

Still not a bad backstory for the main character, it was nicely done.

Yeah, but that's entirely hypothetical since nobody in this thread read AOT on chapter 8. The point is that the series wasn't mucking around pretending it was about giant zombies for longer than it had to in order to establish the setting and the mythos.

Really? I thought it was awesome in the show. I don't remember how I felt about it in the manga, though.

It made me hate Gon. "I'm not going to dodge the ball because it would be a cheap victory to win a game of dodgeball by dodging. Also, I don't care that it fucks up my friend's hands and there's a much better solution, he's still got to hold the ball because it gives me a mystical shonen powerup." Plus it's like the most boring game of dodgeball ever. No strategy, let's just stand in place and hit the ball as hard as we can.

EDIT: Oh yeah also Ging would be in the running for worst shonen dads if they weren't all horrible.
