Luffy couldn't control his fruit either when he was a kid. Kept punching himself in the head when he tried to do the pistol move.

Granted for Mononosuke, but some of the pirates, included Brown Beard should have had the opportunity to at least learn how to switch. Instead they are stuck in that middle ground area that I think I they are stuck that way. Mononosuke will more than likely be able to control his in the future.

Edit: That was all Law and I'm a bumbling fool here.
 
I just did a quick search of the Blackbeard pirates, because I couldn't remember how many people he had under his command, but as of the timeskip he only has 9 people under his command.... that means he has gained another that we haven't seen yet, which is interesting.

edit: Could the tenth one possibly be Aokiji? Could that be what Doflamingo was hinting at on Punk Hazard? Burgess even name dropped Aokiji to Blackbeard saying "he can't be trusted"... maybe they just let him in and they can't trust him for sure yet.
Blackbeard broke out some brahs from Impel Down that follow him now, brah.
Like Shillilew.

Brown Beard and co. had nothing to do with fruits I thought. They had their lower halves exchanged for animal halves by Law using his fruit.
 
Bleach 567

Wait...

Rukia's newest power....is to control herself...........while she's dead?

Do I have that right?

No. Her power is to freeze her body to absolute zero. Her skill in reishi manipulation allows it to be useful since she can use outside force to manipulate her body while it's frozen.

Actually, you are right about that. I think I'm remember them incorrectly. I had thought they had to do with the fruits because of their animal parts, but most of that was from Law.

Was there any of Kaido's zoan army shown during the last cover arc?

Naruto

Why didn't Karin use those abilities during the Sasuke/Danzo fight?

because kishimoto hadn't thought up anything useful about her character yet

Naruto

I enjoyed this. Seeing Naruto on the brink of death reminded me of the Tsunade arc in part 1. Good times!

Wasn't too impressed by Karin (didn't she resolve to forget about being Sasuke's bitch in jail? Whatever....)

Bleach

I'm glad that Rukia got to curbstomp someone, but i'm disappointed that she didn't unlock her bankai yet. Really kubo, when are you going to show it to us (if ever?)

One Piece

Oh man, the perfect set up chapter. Everything is falling into place, I can't wait for ne-

oh yeah, another break.

Seriously.

Sakura reached inside Naruto's chest and manually pumped his heart to keep him alive.

Jesus FUCK.

.____.

I'm pretty sure it doesn't work that way and now she's gonna have to mend bone and also BLEEDING and oh the fact that she'll have to push his lungs out of the way and he'll have trouble breathing. It's like he just watched the matrix and went OH LETS DO THAT

also Rukia's power is "cold" not "ice"
 
im kind of leaning that way too, but you never know for sure until Oda confirms it.


Yeah, but he broke out nine of them. Not ten. Hes gained one more since the timeskip.

Edit: he didnt break out nine, but he had 9 pirates under him.
What I mean is, Blackbeard has more than nine or ten crew members.

Oda taking a break next week? Well, the man deserve it. We can see how he trying really hard to keep the art quality consistent.

:bow Miura. I can't believe there's only one chapter left. 43 pages sounds nice tho.

Bleach

Somehow he's not dead. Kubo prove me wrong.

One Piece

Sabo showing how it's done.

The whole power boost in Bleach is ridicules.

Two weaklings went to the spirit realm come and is top 5 in soul society? WTF.

Naruto got sooooooooooo stupid that I dropped it, looks like Bleach is getting there too.
 
He's kinda right though. Rukia was like the weakest character in Soul Society and Renji was the Shinigami version of Sado. Now all of a sudden they're easily beating Quincies that were offing Captains left and right. It's pretty ridiculous.

Well they went to train so a power up isn't out of the question. It's like expecting Luffy to lose to Pasifista after the time skip with training.

They where taken and trained by the elite royal guard who we saw pretty much founders of everything shinigami. The lesson we saw from Renji flashback hinted that most captains or SS members don't know the true name of zanpaktou a and not using max potential.

Renji knowing it changed everything not hard see Rukia, Byakuya and Ichigo all be boss tier

Plus shounen manga man

If its that easy to go to the Soul King's place and get a huge power up like that, why didn't they do this for every shinigami? Doesn't make any sense.

Oyasumi Punpun
I sort of had an expectation of what this series would be like having read Asano's other stuff years ago before I started on Punpun that was available at the time, now I ended up starting over again since I didn't get that far. In the end it was compelling to read through as weird as it would get, and I sure as hell didn't 'get' all of it, but that's more or less part of the lure for Asano material for myself, weird and wonderful, while identifying the commentary/feelings of the author to relate to. I guess I liked the series and I suppose it's up to the reader what to take away what they choose to at the very end.

Could be that they're trying to maintain a state of subordination, fearing that all-powerful shinigami would rise up against the soul king (a la Aizen).
Or I'm giving Kubo way too much credit.

How does it not make sense? Who said it was easy to get to Soul Kings place? Why doesn't every character have the best power up in Naruto and One piece?

That is very weak reasoning man.

Of course they've gotten stronger, that's not the problem. The problem is that they went from fodder to, in Renji's case, beating enemies Kensei and Rose couldn't even double-team. Maske de Masculine destroyed two Captains using Bankai without even using Vollstandig (them not even using their Hollow powers when Urahara just told everyone that's the Quincy's weakness is a whole other can of worms), and Renji comes in and beats his ass with two fingers up his nose. Come on now.

They where taken and trained by the elite royal guard who we saw pretty much founders of everything shinigami. The lesson we saw from Renji flashback hinted that most captains or SS members don't know the true name of zanpaktou a and not using max potential.

There's nothing indicating the bolded, Renji is not a Captain. The only ones I could imagine this being the case for are Zaraki, for obvious reasons, and Hitsugaya. I guess we'll see when Byakuya returns (ugh). If this does turn out to be the case though, I'm out.

Shounen manga indeed.

Well well well what an good premise, you can have loads of powers and make that really interesting
imagine someone having the power to see other people's life expectancy, they'd crazy, right ?

Bleach

Authors in all mediums really need to understand how broken having a power related to absolute zero in any way is.

But the practical implication is just that Rukia wins this fight. I'm not even sure I would believe she'll ever even get another one.

Are You Alice? volume 6

The story has become so weird that I'm starting to get lost. I'm not sure of Alice's real intentions because his actions seem contradictory at times, but his cunning choices here and there tell me he does have something planned.
The White Rabbit is hiding something quite obscure, or better yet, he feels possessed b something quite obscure.
The Mad Hatter's changes made certain parts of the chapter really funny to read.

I liked Usagi Drop, though the buildup could've been better than just blushing all the time.

Eh, I don't think "talentless" is even remotely the right word here, condemn her for the questionable ending all you want but even you have to admit that the first half was quite nice.
