Bleach 416

Summary:

Gin talks to Aizen about past, Aizen kills gin, Rangiku remembers stuff and runs to Gin who is pretty much dead. He's glad he said sorry he says. Short summary, but that's all that happened. At the end, Ichigo is back in new bankai form! ooo

Thoughts:

BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

I wanted Gin to be alive, I liked him, I liked his abilities. I am annoyed with that KT decided to do with Gin, it's so petty. I would have loved to see him just wanting power and overtaking Aizen for that reason alone. I wanted him to be a true psychopath, that would be cool; however, that's not the case. As far as Ichigo goes, yay. He's in a new form, hopefully the fight wont drag out for another month or two and we'll be able to see a dead Aizen and a flash forward.

Bleach - Deicide 11 - 409 - Review/Summary

Computer trouble has left by blog inaccessible, but that'll be a problem no more.

Summary:

Ichigo is in this inner world but this time it's different. For one he's under water, and secondly Tensa Zangetsu, not Zangetsu, is there. Tensa is much younger than Zangetsu, looks about Ichigo's age. Because Ichigo entered his inner world in Bankai, he gets to meet Tensa. His father says again to watch out as Zangetsu may get violent and goes on to say his Engetsu was the same.

We go back to Ichigo whose saying he doesn't want to fight. He says he just wants to ask him something, but Tensa Zangetsu already knows what it is and says she can't teach him the final getsuga. Ichigo tells him that he needs to know so that he can protect Karakura but Tensa pretty much says he doesn't care about the same things Ichigo does, he says what Ichigo wants to protect isn't what he wants to protect.

Quick cut to Aizen whose walking through town. A drunken man wanders to him and falls due to his spiritual pressure. He notices Tatsuki, and the chapter ends.


Thoughts:

Good chapter. First chapter that didn't have much progressive fighting that I've enjoyed in a while. I find it interesting that both Ichigo and his father use the same attack even though Ichigo wields Zangetsu and his father Engetsu. I'd love to see the relationship between the swords in the future. This final getsuga better be something nice looking. Ichigo just doesn't have any flash ability. His attacks don't look very nice, he pretty much is ridiculously strong and beats things down, where is the style though?

Bleach - Deicide 10 - 408 - Review/Summary

Summary:

This chapter was pretty much an informative one. Isshin gets Ichigo to meditate so that he can commune with his sword. We don't actually get to that part in this chapter, that's on hold for the next. Instead we watch as two of Ichigo's friends make their way around town, which was been moved to somewhere in the mountains.

Isshin explains to Ichigo that time inside of the Dangai flows differently than outside. 2000 hours = 1 hour in the real world. With the Janitor gone this give Ichigo ample time to learn the final Getsuga Tensho. He goes on to explain that the Janitor picks up and spits people out at random times, sometimes at a century later, which destroys the body due to rapid ageing. Apparently when we saw Ichigo and his friends first arrive in soul society they were caught by the Janitor and spat out slightly ahead by a few days, thanks to Urahara's skills.

The current in the Dangai traps and kills people but Isshin can stop is with a simple technique. Isshin embeds 4 spike like things with ropes that are attached to his arms, into the current of the Dangai, with his reiatsu he can hold back the current for 3 months/2000 hours. Ichigo goes into his inner world and Isshin says "watch out, this time Zangetsu might get violent" and off to the next chapter we wait!

Thoughts:

Informative. I would like, when they do these informative chapters, if they just took a week and a half or two, to come out with a new chapter, so we could have the informative and the action.


Last week I didn't post about Deicide 9. Nothing much happened, so there really wasn't much to post about.

Bleach - Chapter 406 - Deicide 8 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Isshin's huge getsuga tensho leaves Aizen bleeding but he has no real damage. He says to them it's time they understand his power. There seems to be a surge or reiatsu behind Ichigo, who looks back, and it's over for the trio. Instantly bested. Gin says some words that put Ichigo down even further, and Aizen shows up just when Gin was pulling out his sword. Gin says he was just trying to test him.

Aizen says the chrysalis stage is over, and for the first time in a few chapters we see his face again. Now he will be able to see the downfall of soul society with his eyes, he says. they open the gate and begin to leave. Aizen says he'll eat Ichigo.

Thoughts:

So Aizen couldn't see the whole time he was inside that chrysalis, interesting. I wish there was more of an explanation with Isshin's getsuga tensho, something on it, anything. Aizen seems so god like and Ichigo seems so pathetic now, it's kind of annoying. He's like a male orihime atm.

Bleach 405 - Deicide 7 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Matsumoto is running to the fighting area to see Gin is how it starts, then we go to the main story. Ichigo is on the ground and Gin tells him he should run. Urahara attacks Aizen with a low level kido attack. Aizen figures out it's just a distraction as Yoruichi burst through the attack and goes after Aizen. Aizen grabs her hand and Yoruichi punches him using Shunko.  He says she can't defeat him. Urahara comes into battle and starts using some cool benihime attacks, that entrap and set him ablaze. Isshin appears behind him and uses Getsuga Tensho.

Thoughts:

I was hoping that his father would say Getsuga ----- something else, so it'd be like their zanpakutous are brothers or related vs being the same Getsuga Tensho is such a boring attack, powerful, but boring. I enjoyed it though. Liked seeing Urahara's attacks.

Bleach 404 - Deicide 6 - Review/Summary

Summary:

Aizen starts speaking to Yoruichi, Urahara, and Isshin, about how he's going to kill them pretty much. There is some mild comedy about Yoruichi's shoe which dissapeared wich much have been special because her whole leg didn't get cut off when Aizen countered in the last chapter.  Yoruichi waits for Aizen to attack and when he does she is surprised by it. A huge pillar of whatever happens when he hits her and we cut to Ichigo and Gin.

Gin comes up behind Ichigo telling him that he's open but that he should just relax and watch the fight, saying that since Aizen gone all hyogoku there is no hope.  Ichigo says that he doesn't know what'll happen to him with Aizen like that. Gin taunts him saying he's admitted he'll be dead and has given up.

Gin begins to attack Ichigo with his uber long sword which goes back to normal size in at instant. He uses a new attack which, if we go by it's name, extends multiple swords. This prompts Ichigo to go hollow. We then see Kira lying on the ground and Rangiku running to see gin.

Thoughts:

Slow moving but good chapter. Aizen didn't really say anything exciting or new to really justify the lack of action but it was still a good chapter. I'd like to point out that in my last post about the bleach manga, the last picture showed Aizen fused together with his sword. Exactly what happened this week? He's suddenly unfused with it with no explanation as to what just happened? Gin and Ichigo's fight was okay for me. I really love Gin and I'm happy to see him fight now. His personality is just fun. Kira in this chapter I don't mind but Rangiku I don't like very much. I haven't been much of a Rangiku fan since I first started watching bleach. I don't know what it is about her, but I don't get why she's so high rank when she really doesn't seem to be that strong. Then again I haven't seen many strong people from Toshiro's squad except for Toshiro himself.

Oh well. Next week I feel it's going to be a talk chapter with Aizen and Isshins crew, and Rangiku and Gin. Not really looking forward to it, unless there are some new revalations. Hopefully Rangiku doesn't go there and go all. "we were friends!" That'll really get to me.

Bleach - Deicide 5 - Chapter 403

Summary:

This chapters starts with the massive explosion of Aizen's own reiatsu. Everyone is shocked by the attack but Urahara tells them basically that, that's not all it'll take. Aizen comes back in his new weird alien looking fully Hogyoku and says that if  he wasn't his new self that he would have been defeated. Urahara draws his sword and Isshin attacks Aizen, who by the way, is of course very fast. They manage to get chains around his and race to either side. Aizen takes this as childs play saying "what mockery is this"! This made way for the entrance of YORUICHI!!! Who lands on top of him blasting him with what looks to be her signature, shunko. Awesome explosion, probably the best entrance I've seen. Of course nothing is over because this is Aizen we're talking about. He comes back and attacks Yoruichi taking some of the frabric off her foot. it ends with Aizen saying he's going to crush each one of them. Also he's still evolving, on the last page his sword is merged with him.

Thoughts:

Lovely chapter, love the action, and I loved Yoruichi's entrance. Easily one of my favorite entrances, and I'm not just saying that because I love Yoruichi. It was a very entertaining chapter. I'm just wondering when is Aizen going to stop evolving. Can't wait till next week.

Bleach - Deicide 4 - Chapter 402

So I loved this chapter. I love Kisuke, he's one of my favorite characters if not my favorite character. I've been dieing to see him fight and finally he has!

Kisuke appears and after a short talk Aizen stabs him. Kisuke; however, used his balloon replacement which Aizen thought he wouldn't use since it's a "cheap trick". Whatever Aizen! Being able to control all aspects of a persons senses is probably a cheap but deadly trick.

From here on we get to see some cool kido techniques from Kisuke. I really enjoy when characters fight like this. It's a nice little break from "BANKAI! SLASH SLASH"  It was pretty fun to watch.

Kisuke binds Aizen then attacks him. I really do enjoy fights where no draw of the sword is necessary! After the smoke clears we see a new Aizen! Doesn't seem to be fully complete. Aizen gives Kisuke one hell of a slap when he gets back. Kisuke tells Aizen that he's become careless because of his new power, and Aizen agrees. Kisuke surprises him informing him that he's just sealed off the reiatsu that flows out of his palms. Meaning he will be attacked by his own reiatsu. Overall great chapter, I can't wait until next week. Aizen will be alive and hopefully we get to see a bankai out of Kisuke, that would be quite cool.

Ichigo and Gin made no advancements but both seem taken aback by Kisuke's strength. Hopefully next week doesn't focus back on Ichigo and Gin I want to see more of Kisuke and Aizen! Aizens new form looks like some weird hollow by the way.

Bleach - Ichigo and Uryuu, bonded back to back

First off, I don't get the title. They were not fighting side by side or back to back. They were in two separate but close areas. For the majority of the episode I was wondering when is the real fight going to begin. When?! Ishida's fighting with Yammy was lack luster. I don't like Ishida that much, he's relativly weak, but he uses strategy which redeems him. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to just see a bunch of strong characters with absolutely no strategy, that gets tiring, but I do wish Ishida was just a little more powerful.

Okay so the episode starts off with where it left off, with Ishida making his entrance and shooting Yammy in the shoulder. Yammy is imensely strong as seen in current manga, albeit in his released form, still I feel it's not sufficent enough of an excuse to pardon his expression. Really it was that painful? Ishida's arrows aren't that powerful. He relies more on strategy, placing, and multitude. Why this arrow has left Yammy in pain surprises me. Maybe it's surprise I'm seeing.



Ishida fightings with him on a floor below Ichigo and Ulq. and beats yammy by luring him into sprenger. The large explosion leaves Yammy in a beaten but not out state. Ishida warns him to not move, but he does anyway and steps on a mine and is sent down through several levels to the basement.

Rukia is still fighting forever multiplying guy and is having a very hard time.  She got easily tired out but luckily for her and us, because we all love Rukia, she gets help. From Renji and Sado. That's all that we really see of this fight. I would have prefered to see more of this and less of Ishida vs Yammy. It was just frustrating for me.  I probably could have done without Inoue too. She didn't do much this episode besides say. "Ishida-kun" and "Kurosaki-kun" It seems to be the only things she knows to say. Is she like two years old? I can't take with KT is doing with her in the anime or the manga. She's so powerful yet so emotionally weak not to mention she has an inferiority complex. Get over it! Unleash your true power, and move on from Ichigo!! Is all I can think. I yell at my screen sometimes.

Anyway, the real highlight of the show came and went rather quickly, it was enough for me though. I was happy. Ichigo finally went hollow, and began to really go for it. Ulq relized it was time to break the ceiling and release. Espadas 4 and up can't release within Las Noches. Then we got some kickass fighting. Not really, more like kickass Ulq's release, which was enough for me.

The green and black weird freaky rain was a nice effect and when it was over. BAM ULQ.
And that's how it ended. Now lets see some pictures of Inoue throughout the episode. One of them within two minutes of it starting and the other in like 10-15.

Why this weird expression of Huh and what? The second one is when she's watching Kurosaki. I can't stand it! She could go around and reject something ever existed. Reject ulq and he's gone, but whatever, hopefully KT makes her more interesting or makes her not so emotionally pathetic.




That's all
