Again the only thing we know is that Itachi knew that Tobi wasn't a normal ninja and the fact that he thought he was Madara, he never worked with him closely.

Itachi worked directly with Tobi to exterminate the Uchiha clan, after seeking him out personally. I think that was KINDA close.

You seem to forget that Kamui isn't warping the person who uses it out only but also selective objects like Kakashi used, he could've easily warp out only the flames and let them burn in the other dimension instead of essentially trashing an eye.

I don't really buy that one. He uses Kamui in two ways. One, the passive one where he toggles parts of his body to another dimension, and two, the active one where he chooses a point in space and warps away its contents. The flames were burning all over his shoulder. He'd have to use Kamui in the second way to target that, and he can't just "target flames" and remove them, they're spread over the fabric of his outfit there. Even if we assume that he COULD target all of the flame, and only the flame, and teleport it away, there's a period of "ugh agh oh fuck" coming from him in the darkness, then silence, then he walks back perfectly fine. No burnt-off clothes, no damage whatsoever. He acts like he totally defeated the attack, not like he just removed it. I do think that his "fortunately I managed to keep a few secrets even from him" is a weird thing to say if he used Izanagi, since Izanagi should be something Itachi would expect, but he still doesn't really look or act like a man just set on fire. He also suggests he'd be dead if not for the secret thing he was able to do, and even if Kamui hadn't been an option, he could've always Izanagi'd. Though that presupposes that Kishimoto had even thought of Izanagi at that time. I gotta believe he had, Danzo had been around for long enough, and that character design was probably built with foreknowledge of the sharingan arm.

..it coulda been Kamui. But I think it's kinda inconsistent either way.

Same.

Off to a good start, as usual in these series the transformation idea always resorts in a powerup to get ugly so it wasnt good but at times the action with it was really intense. Looking forward to all Teppei does in the upcoming chapter and if he can find his one friend at school (not Tsubasa-chan).

Putting the total destruction in chp 1 was a good move.

Goddamn everyone is in a rush. So I guess the Straw Hats crew gonna have to defeat Doflamingo fast before Big Mom arrive, but then there's still that CP-0.

That arc wasn't bad. A little long for a prologue, but enjoyable. This current one looks like it'll have the scale I expected from this manga.

Also, Ten being a girl couldn't have been more obvious.

Welcome to the part of OP where 1 hour takes 60 chapters.

Yeah he could have used Shisui's eye to destroy Obito more efficiently.


One Piece the good version
My god the crew is divided again... prepare to wait two months if you are interested to know what a precise member of the crew is doing.
I really can't take this anymore, OP is kaput for me Oda can go to hell from what i care.

Kabuto is the acquaintance, Obito is the underling. Referencing the chat he had with Kabuto when he talked through the Tsuchikage.

I guess I'm confused by what the hell he was talking about; why did his eyes fall out, but then some kind of modification Kabuto made to his zombie body persist on rebirth?

Yeah, it's.. weird. Where'd the dead ninja inside the Edo Tensei body go? Is it all mashed up inside his real body now? It doesn't seem like the Rinne Tensei should've worked the way it did, it's supposed to put the soul back into a body. Where was Madara's body, to put it back into? Was that part of his original plan? Is the body waiting somewhere? Kabuto got ahold of his DNA somehow, so maybe he found the body. Maybe he crammed it inside the Edo Tensei body, and the Rinne Tensei body made it start working again. Edo Tensei is weird already, you can destroy the body and it'll reform, but when you break the jutsu a real dude's body falls out, was that real body reconstituting? Or is it teleported away somewhere when the jutsu is first cast? It can't actually be INSIDE the whole time, can it?

It's all gibberish. I think we're just supposed to assume that somehow Kabuto's modification persisted to his real body. The how and why may or may not ever actually be explained, depending upon the nature of whatever Madara flashbacks we get later on.

Does anyone have that Molester Man shitjustgotmotherfuckingrealerthanreal gif?

Because that's basically my exact reaction to this chapter.

Because reasons.

Aliens/Tite Kubo/AIZEN/plothole/eternaltsukiyomi

Given that Obito was planning to put everyone into a matrix-like idyllic state with tsukiyomi, if I had the sharingan, I'd just stand in front of a mirror and put myself into a genjutsu world where I could nail any chick I want.

I think this was different. Madara sucked Hashirama´s chakra using sage chakra or he sucked Hashirama´s sage chakra. That is different than normal chakra.
Still not sure how that should be a problem for a Edo Tensei zombie. The others don't have any "senjutsu chakra" at all in the first place, and they're just fine.


Again the only thing we know is that Itachi knew that Tobi wasn't a normal ninja and the fact that he thought he was Madara, he never worked with him closely.
I'd tend to agree, but there was that one time Itachi called fake-Madara his "friend and mentor", which would imply a bit more than "that guy who helped me out that one night".
Of course, there also was that time when Madara was called the founder of the Uchiha clan... Kishimoto just isn't very good at this "writing" thing.


Kabuto is the acquaintance, Obito is the underling. Referencing the chat he had with Kabuto when he talked through the Tsuchikage.
Yep. Although, like I pointed out earlier, it's kinda weird how he goes "nah, I didn't do anything like that! that was that other guy I barely knew!" considering he actually did use Hashirama's cells on his (actual) body, as explained to Obito after Rin's death...
Quality writing.
 
Pluto v 5
The events with Gesicth and the family was the most suspenseful part in awhile. Just all of them in the car the feelings Gesicth is trying to confront, and then the husband worrying about his family while willing to sacrifice himself, really changed my opinion on him. In any event the manga continues to make the distinction between humans and AI unclear especially with the adoption scene and family in wich they state this must be how a human feels. Even hatred in the present day with Gesicth even too in this car and trying go erase and forget.

Tori- I mean, Shokugeki no Soma

Haha, that really reminded me of the Puffer Whale arc from Toriko. This chapter was all Tadokoro, man.
China girl will definitely be gay for Tadokoro when this is over. No, she probably already is.

Also this chapter reminded me that those 2 dudes from the dorm exist. I uh, yeah. They.. yeah. Did anyone else remember that? Seriously.

Everyone is gar for Tadokoro

[Naruto]

Yep. Although, like I pointed out earlier, it's kinda weird how he goes "nah, I didn't do anything like that! that was that other guy I barely knew!" considering he actually did use Hashirama's cells on his (actual) body, as explained to Obito after Rin's death...
Quality writing.

See, that's what I thought he was talking about in the first place. It didn't even occur to me he was talking about Kabuto fucking with the Edo Tensei because that doesn't make any sense.

Oh my word... why am I just hearing about this now? I MUST seek this out.

<reads through the first two chapters>

- Miki & Yuu's parents haven't changed a bit; love these knuckleheads
- Rikka and Hajime seem to have emulated their half-siblings younger personalities exactly
- Wow, Ginta's a teacher at Toryo Middle School
- Awww, Rikka's crushing over Meiko & Na-chan's son

This is a total shoujo fan service fest.

Maybe the trick here is in his phrasing. An acquaintance of an underling "showed him this." Showed him the technique, perhaps. Gave him the idea of "have a face in your chest." Maybe once he got Rinne Tensei'd, he converted the Hashirama cells in his real body into that face, to match his Edo Tensei body, because something about that particular implementation was advantageous. Like how he was able to absorb the sage chakra into the face. Maybe it's not actually the face Kabuto put in him.

Now everybody grabs their hands and forms a circle to make the protagonists one-shot the final boss but he's probably not really dead. They got to work up to 66.6 somehow

So uh, there are some "official" Tadakoro cosplay pics in this week's Playboy Magazine, INB4 too old
She's really proud of that smile but it's not really working out, is it? Kinda forced.

Tadokoro doesn't even smile that often. Yoshino is where it's at for smiles, really.

Hell to the yeah. I hope this confirms what some of us have suspected, and that Zoro is able to stand toe-to-toe with an admiral, ala Rayleigh. He didn't beat him or anything, but he withstood his gravity attack. Pretty impressive. Also, the action got ratcheted up a ton this chapter. I was expecting some Ennie Lobby style boss fights, but looks like Luffy, Zoro and Kinemon are going to do a lot of the heavy lifting. Dis gon' be gud!

Also, Big Mom entering the fray too? Holy shit! I thought that would be a slow burn, but looks like Oda is addressing it right now. Dressrosa has the potential to be the best arc since Water7/Ennies Lobby.

Naruto
Pretty cool chapter, but this suggests we're gonna have a bunch of chapters repeating basically what Obito wanted, while Madara captures the tailed beasts and eventually gets the juubi. At least this explains why he was so happy to be alive again. He's really strong. Also, when did Hashirama get those rods in his back?

Bleach
Meh. Not such a bad chapter, but I'm tiring of captains explaining their powers. Just go ahead and kick someone's ass, then tell them the details when they're dying. I think we all knew that sternritter wasn't dead that easily. PEACE.
