So we generally accept that Sabo still lives and might join the straw hats? I'm ok with that. I somehow still don't feel like Jinbe's gonna join em but I'd love him to, they need at least one fishman IMO.
 
So, literally, it would require a Deus Ex Machina.

Okay, here is precisely why Shirahoshi will never ever join the Straw Hats ever: has actual responsibilities to fill, just like Vivi. COMPLETELY AND TOTALLY USELESS IN A FIGHT, and that's the biggy, because she would get tentacle raped in the New World. After the timeskip powerups by the crew, any new crew members will have to be already on their level. Sabo is the only possible exception to this. Obviously, she can't go on land (and no, this is not going to be handwaved away). She's way too ****ing big. If the Straw Hats are going to get a fishman in the crew, Jinbe is the perfect size.

It won´t be the first time that happened. Diablo jambe, asura strike, G2/3 are proof of that happening before.

This reminds of Usoppe and Nami pre time skip. Jimbei does not fit SH MO. And he is too damn powerful. It´s more interesting to develop a character than have a character who is already developed. And she is plenty powerful when she learns to call sea kings when ever she wants. So what if she is big? She is not the only giant around.
 
Beelzebub

God damn these pillar heads are strong. So the Queen seemed a bit weak against them. I guess only Oga and Toujou can take them on?

Interesting development at the end.

Where is there proof he is too damn powerful? He was absolutely crushed by Akainu pre-time skip, and Luffy has alread defeated two Shichibukai...nothing we have seen so far suggests he is currently stronger than Luffy...in fact, he seems to be very impressed with the Straw Hats strength so far. I think he will join and he would fit in well. He is rather serious, but I think he would fit in well. He is an allround soild bloke, something they havent as yet got.
 
Bleach
It's so fucking interesting I love it. Wonder where all of this is headed and wonder what Ichigo will look like in Bankai. If only that colored picture at the end was an accurate depiction of it. this one Loved how Ichigo got pissed off, told him to stfu and going full power.

Naruto
Fight is meh, like a lot have said, and I called it back when that chapter happened that Kabuto had Madara in that coffin. I still think the masked guy is Tobi, Kakashi's childhood friend. We'll see what happens...

should be interesting to see what Oda ultimately decides.

Obito makes sense in a lot ways, but it doesn't make sense in just as many. My thought is that will be Obito with a lot of handwaving and asspull logic to explain it.
 
HxH

I'm just catching up with the past 10 chapters of this and holy shit this became so awesome. I love the rules of this abilities and how it plays into the story. Brilliant stuff.

Alluka is also creepy as shit.
 
New Murata one-shot soon (old pic? just saw it)

He's probably planning on making this a series too... maaaan.

Ooooo. Hype + 1
 
HxH

Finally finished the Greed Island arc. First an anti climatic ending with boring battles and now it's scribble time? That chapter with the parade is a joke, right?
 
FINALLY, LIAR GAME RETURNS

After a gap of about one and one-half years, Shinobu Kaitani's Liar Game psychological thriller manga is continuing in this year's 52nd issue of Shueisha's Weekly Young Jump on Thursday. The new manga will again follow Nao Kanzaki as the genius con artist Shinichi Akiyama helps her in another high-stakes psychological test called the "Liar Game."

They'd better have one hell of a recap, or something.
 
Fuck yes. The Zenkichi/Medaka fighting each other arc can go to hell, I'm reading this instead.

Speaking of Medaka Box, spoilers are out for 124:

As predicted, Medaka beats the crap outta that Kanome dude.

even reading the spoilers is boring because Medaka is in it. zzz
 
Beelzebub

Aoi being defeated already? WTF

and that defection was so random....

Well what has she really done in an other fighting previously? she's like 3rd tier along with Kanzaki and Himekawa maybe 2 1/2 tier. The defection was random but it will probably turn out she's and old friend/relative of one Andelion or that doctor brat or one of the maids. I Wonder how long before the St Ishiyama guys turn up.

She lost stupid , she is the 3rd strongest in the school .
Has a demon just went and do training with Oga to learn some special moves.
Then get one shot from behind to set up Agiel randomly defecting .
It was just poorly handheld to tell the truth .

Yeah I know she lost thats my point, has she ever not lost? and I didn't say it was handled well I just don't see it as surprising. I also said shes around the level of Kanzaki and Himekawa maybe a bit above but being the 3rd, 4th or 5th strongest so far hasn't meant much, also Natsume would probably be in 3rd place behind Oga and Toujou and pre training arc she was well behind the St Ishiyama squad.
 
One Piece

Overall it was decent but having Luffy faint after such a mediocre battle seems like a weird choice. I don't know. I sort of feel like I should just stop reading for a year so I can marathon a good chunk of issues.
 
Strongest Man Kurosawa vol 1

And part 4 of my Fukumoto romp brings me to Mid-life Crisis: The Manga. I wonder if Kurosawa is a stand-in for Fukumoto himself. Though I can't imagine the dude would be some poor guy when this started since Akagi had been going on for like 14 years by then. Could buy him being an awkward, middle-aged single guy though.
 
Beelzebub

Yeah, this chapter is full of weak.

Can't a girl just pawn asses for once? BUBUBU PILLAR HEADS

OH FUCK OFF SHE WENT TRAINING FOR A MONTH
