So how do you guys think Ichigo will get out of this predicament?

Talk no Jutsu
Pure Willpower
Fighting
Perhaps Aizen 3's fullbring has a time limit?

A Third Party: More likely to least likely

Ishida
Isshin
Urahara
Shinigami

Spoiler

Aizen

What if Aizen 3 is just doing this as some fucked up expedited way for Ichigo to get his full powers back and for him to absorb all of their powers?

The only thing that doesn't make sense is, are Orihime or Chad not hearing what Aizen 3 and Ichigo are saying to each other? Even being brainwashed into thinking they've known Aizen 3 for a long time, you'd think they would still have a double take when Aizen 3 mentions that he's used a move on them that puts himself in their memories so they think they've known him for a long time.

The last time I tried to have expectations Kubo surprised me (I believe that was when I believed that Aizen would triumph over Ichigo, unfortunately Kubo can not read my head canon). I think it will be a combination of the above...isnt he already fighting? Seems to be a waste to have unleashed his fullbring only to not utilize it at all. I still think his friends will collapse from conflicting personal desires and some outside intervention may be likely after Tsukishima has him cornered. A shinigami would intervene and not any of those named above.

Yeah, I don't think Tsukishima is stupid enough to discuss his powers within earshot of someone he's already friended.

One Piece.

Was disappointed this week. Everything felt rushed. How they captured everybody and how Hordy just dropped the bomb like that. With that being said hope Oda is okay.

Anyone else reading this? I like how Kouta is just earnest enough to root for, but tries to take just enough shortcuts that he deserves what he gets.

A person on another forum had this to say about the matter

Because at the moment, Ichigo is the bad guy who's attacking Tsukishima for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

Tsukishima said that he's walked their whole lives with them. That means they've known Tsukishima for longer than they've known Ichigo. Ichigo has known them for years, but he has not known them for their whole lives.

It's not that they hate Ichigo, it's that they can't understand why he's suddenly flipped out and started attacking a member of the nakama.



This is the problem with Tsukishima's fullbring - we don't know exactly what the nature of the relationship he's forged with each person, all we know is that it's tailored to each person - it's not the same across the board. He's customised his relationship with each and every person. But, because he doesn't rewrite memories, he doesn't change emotions or the history that people have with each other. So while he can make himself an integral part of (for example) Sado's past, he cannot rewrite Sado's past with Ichigo, and so we have a conflicted Sado whose powerful bond with Ichigo hasn't been changed but which has been superceded by a stronger and older bond with Tsukishima.

What causes the problem is that it's not friendship we're seeing everyone citing with regards to Tsukishima, it's gratitude. They are incredibly grateful to Tsukishima for everything and Ichigo has as much to be grateful for as they do. Tsukishima hasn't simply made himself their friend, he's made them obligated to him as well.... and worse, he's made them think Ichigo is just as obligated to him as they are.

From their perspective, Ichigo hasn't just randomly turned on a friend for no reason, he's randomly turned on a saviour for no reason.

Aizen wanted to be a god but no-one believed him at all - that was part of why he could defeat everyone because they didn't believe his intention and so couldn't understand the power he wielded that made him believe he could become a god until it was too late. Unlike Aizen, Tsukishima isn't claiming to be a god, he's simply convinced everyone to view him as akin to one... and they don't even realise they're worshipping him like he's one.

So how do you guys think Ichigo will get out of this predicament?

Ishida and Isshin/Urahara will play some kind of role. What it is, I don't know.

And I really have no idea what's coming next in this arc right now. I have no clue as to why Tsukishima is doing this to Ichigo. That's probably what I like most about it right now. Other than the fact that Ichigo can't just wave his sword at his problems to make them go away now.

Beelzebub 116
Really enjoyable chapter.I actually prefer the students' banter to the fight most of the time.
Wonder who this old man is?Maybe Oga knows him (grandfather) and is ignoring him.
Feel sorry for Furuichi. Hopefully he actually gets fight skills lol

Project X: Cup Noodle

The manga is about the history and development of cup noodles. I don't think I've ever even eaten the stuff and reading the manga didn't really make me want to, but the manga itself was pretty entertaining and kind of educational I guess.

The way Jinbe was caught I just have a hard time believing it wasn't planned. It just seems like they were supposed to get caught since we still don't know what happened between him and Luffy.

GE Good Ending 89

Looks like we're primed for another misunderstanding, though it depends on how fast Yuki's cousin jumps to conclusions before she can explain the situation to him. Not like things can get much worse for Utsumi anyway. Also, Mei is awesome.
Yes, I know this and KNIM are still your average romance manga which means idiot plots galore, but I can at least retain my sanity (mostly) while reading this one.

 

[Lain]

Reading Zetman Volume 15 I realized that I didn't remember what had happened last volume since it's been a little while (

Spoiler

I didn't remember Hanako having seen Jin's Zet appearance and now being scared of him

) and the summary at the start of the volume didn't help much.
But it was a great volume. Jin's resolution on page 84/85 was fucking awesome, as well as the fight with the player before it

Spoiler

sacrificing an arm to fuck him up, Jin is always a great fighter and quick thinker, which is what makes him so great

.
Too bad the volume ends on such a cliffhanger.

Ugh... I hate that genre so much. Gave it a try to see what you meant by the mirrors though.

Yeah, looks like nothing special, but I have to admit the entire time I was thinking "this would make a fucking awesome mechanic for a video game."
Well, without the ecchiness at least.

Bleach 456

I think I can safely say it and it may be an unpopular opinion, but Bleach is back y'all (well its always been there but its back to Arrancar Saga levels). My creys it was stunning, fast paced, intense, and epic. Its been so many chapters since the last time that I found myself going through a chapter in less than 30 seconds. It left me hungry for more. The artwork was cool, Ichigo's desperation and anguish in this situation, when taken at face value, that seems hopeless. I love the attention to minor characters this arc too, Keigo had two+ appearances this arc, and now we get to return to some conversation with Shishigawara. 457 will be awesome, I know it.

For some reason I thought you were coloring those panels. Unless you are RomaniaBlack You should really give credit. That's not the only artist's colooring you have posted with credit either.

After 9 volumes of Vinland Saga, Thorfinn is still an immature kid suffering from tarditis. Leaving aside that I find Canuto's change too drastic and too swift, he is at least interesting to follow, while the dead inside Thorfinn is as much an annoyance to watch now as his emo self was prior to Askeladd's death.
I'm kinda sorry he only lost a pice of his ear, instead of an eye, his tongue or his life (so finally his sister could have popped on scene and become the rightful protagonist of the story) but I was hoping that experience would have more of an impact on him than it actually did (as shown in volume 9, anyways).
I've come to realize that my problem with this manga is that after 9 volumes Thorfinn hasn't changed much as a character, he's still the immature egoistic stupid kid that destroyed his family and has only egoistic thoughts in his head, be it revenge or self destruction, while other characters had quicker (in Canuto's case way too quick) changes. Plus more interesting characters have either died, or are simply relegated to a sort of comic relief side (Thornkell).
