Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
If Bazz-B's flames are stronger than Yamamoto's then he better be able to destroy Hitsugaya.

I want to see some captains killed. Though Hitsugaya is probably safe because of his fangirls...

"Bazz-B" is the most terrible fucking name ever other than every other Sternritter

I wouldn't say that.

Aren't there still some unnamed? I have faith in Kubo outdoing himself.

Yamada 77 - Cockblocked by the Student Coun--

oh god poor Odagiri
 
Quite a few manga for today, let's see...

Gintama

Laughed my ass off. I want to go watch Castle in the Sky now.

Assassination Classroom

Too soon for Koro-sensei to be killed off now. I wonder how he'll survive this one.

Naruto

Everyone else has covered how awful this chapter was, so I'll just leave this with "Sasukeh!!!"

Bleach

who cares

I see Kubo can't stop drawing characters with Aizen faces

One Piece

Loved it. Great representation of everything that's going on (I feel it's been a bit unbalanced up to this point). The Cavendish and Brook scenes were by far my favorite (the loudspeaker, haha).
 
You should read School Rumble as a palate cleanser.

How is Negima Salt inducing?
The huge build-up leading to a an abrupt- and thus disappointing - ending, because the author wanted to make a point against changes in how manga copyright would be handled

Yamada 76 - 77

What's that side glance for Yamada ?

Also, Odagiri's face in the last page = HNNNNNNNNNNGG

I have a question about Naruto that some of might be able to answer. Will this whole Ninja War be the last story or will there be some other arc after the war is over?

"Overmerchandised"
Seems legit.

A great collection of parody stories, which poke fun at every Evangelion stereotype there is. Most of them are slightly to very amusing and there are also plenty of boobs, boobs and even more boobs. Did I mention boobs?

Was the most hilarious piece of eva things I bought, should reread it in a few weeks. Shinji quite good throughout, kaworu too.

Poor Ushio, more like. Dude hates Yamada and betrays him becuase he's in love with Odagiri, who just uses him and then immediately gets a thing for Yamada.

I have to say that I think Odagiri being into Yamada seems like a contrivance. She certainly didn't seem super into him from my recollection. Noa has a little girl crush on him and Sarushima is kind of a flirt, but for the most part out of the Special People Club only Shiraishi seemed actually into him.

The comments in the chapters made it sound like Yamada was selling like nobody's business...

Guess Soma has found its place in the >250K club. I think that means its at least >375K for the other volumes (saw one say 1.5mln for four volumes).

All the more reason for Archer girl!

Kishi at it again

Oh my god Jojo of the North Star becomes even godiler after the Ken-oh(Roah)/Toki fight. I'm now up to around vol 21 where its set like 10 years after Ken-Ohs reign and Kenshiro is in the demon land across the sea and that Hokuto Ryuken user Shachi is.
 
Gambling Emperor Zero 2 79

Is there seriously another whole volume of this nonsense? This series was supposed to be about tense gambling and shit, not some old kidnapped guy making the most convoluted puzzle of all time.

So not only was Sasuke's cursed seal derived from sage/natural energy, but Sasuke also knew and was capable of combining it naturally with his sharingan bullshit? Yeah, okay. Nice ass-pull.

Hokuto no Ken predates JoJo by several years. JoJo pays homage to Hokuto no Ken quite a bit. If anything, you should call JoJo "Kenshiro's Bizarre Adventure," I think.

How do you like the current arc? Personally, I found the beginning of Hokuto no Ken a bit tiring, and I really enjoyed seeing Kenshiro's history fleshed out. Apparently, a lot of people don't like the last third of the manga.

Yeah i know FoTNS came out first :)

At the start i thought it was gonna be something brainless like Ken going to a bunch of random areas and beating the shit of people, then as you said once Kenshiros backstory gets more fleshed out the manga becomes way more enjoyable. It makes me sad they keep killing of all the good characters such as
Rei, Toki, Ein, Shu and Fudo. Even Falco was starting to grow on me.
.

You can see inspiration Jojos Part 1s & 2 took from FoTNS such as Johnathan looking exactly Kenshiro, Shin looking like Dio, the Hokuto Shinken being sharing some similarities to the ripple, the Ora Ora, the respiration techniques the Hokuto Shinken has.

I love it so far.

I need to get my hands of that Live Action movie with Malcolm McDowell, it looks so cheesy i might enjoy it.

Odagiri being into Yamada was hinted at forever ago.

Naruto

What part of Sasuke's powerup was "bullshit," exactly? It was pretty explicitly explained, and no elements were inconsistent.

- The curse seal is derived from Juugo, thanks to his time "dying" in that barrel Sasuke has established a compatibility between himself and the curse seal, it is not unreasonable to think that Sasuke could draw on that chakra when he envelops its source in his own chakra. The compatibility was more directly foreshadowed when Juugo healed Sasuke's mortal wound from Killer Bee, they even used the exact same explanation.

- Juugo's tribe has been long established as a natural sage chakra conduit. It's why from day 1 he's been able to communicate with animals, and his natural absorption of it contributes to why he periodically goes out of control.

Is it "bullshit" just because "oh now out of nowhere Sasuke has Naruto's special ability" and people don't think he earned it? That might be fair, sure. Though Sasuke chose the members of Hebi/Taka for reasons like these, I am sure. But posts like "It makes no fucking sense he can just randomly draw Juugo's chakra" and "what we know about Juugo's powers don't even mesh with what we were told about sage chakra" are just flat out not true. At least be productive with your arguments, people.

Because nobody, particularly Sasuke, has been shown to have the ability to just draw other people's chakra. It's a hand-wave at best, but really its just an asspull.

No it was hinted. Back then when Yamada had her under her own spell she was forxed to love him, after being released from the spell we got a hint she still likes him mire than usual.
