Bleach 417-now: Thoughts.

It's pretty interesting, though a little boring. Ichigo came back, and beat up Aizen pretty much. He used the finished Getsuga; however, it caused him to lose all his shinigami powers. I don't know whether or not he has his hollow ones. Kisuke came out of nowhere and Aizen was sealed. Kisuke put a seal in him so when his power was weakened he would be sealed.

I find it interesting that during Aizens sentencing they don't sentence him to death. The man who became very powerful and wanted to dethrone the "god" pretty much wasn't killed, it just makes no sense. He says a few mean words and they sentence him to a few more years. It's pretty anti climatic.

Ichigo spends the time sleeping and when he wakes up is surrounded by his friends, he says goodbye to Rukia who disappears as they look around at some sentimental crap. Ichigo lost his shinigami powers which means he can't see any of his shinigami friends.

He goes back to school and everything is relatively normal. He bumps into a guy who got his bag stolen, Ichigo fights the robber and gets the bag back. The man I believe also has a substitute shinigami badge and he knows about Ichigo. We still don't know who he is.

The most recent chapter wasn't all that exciting. Ichigo has a job and is working to make money and now there is a big fight going on and some mystery shadowy guy is suppose to come up in the next chapter, and probably beat everyone up.

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.
