Whoa. Sixth. :blush: I had no idea I posted that much in the Bleach thread... I thought that I commented quite infrequently! Of course, since it's nearly 4 times less than the highest ranked poster, and since the Bleach 13 thread lasted a really long time, I guess it's more of a duration thing.

I wonder if fans at the convention appearances Kubo's been at have ever thought to ask him about these things in person? What would he say? Or would he just shrug and be Kubo about it?

The manga is suffering from a shameful lack of hadou/kidou/bakudou incantations, yes.

I don't care what anyone says, Barrigan vs. Hachigen & Soi-Fon was the best loving fight of the whole drat series. Sooo much kido. :swoon:

And the final reversal trick was pretty awesome too.

So if the Vizoreds are Shinigami/Hollow hybrids, and Arrancars are Hollow/Shinigami hybrids, what're Quincy/Hollow hybrids? I'd like to see that.

I hope that, whatever he makes next, he gives it a real feeling of energy and just... plain fun. Do you remember the last time that Bleach was actually just goofy and fun? Gosh, it must've been, what, like two hundred chapters ago or more! I hope he starts his next manga with the same energy and pacing and just keeps going at it like that.

And for God's sake no more wizard battle supernatural poo poo. Do a manga about delinquents or something!

Jesus Christ. :stare:

I'd forgotten how incredibly graphic that scene was. That's like the very edge of what's allowable in a shonen magazine. And, thinking about it, Kubo's done some pretty dark/creepy violent scenes in Bleach and Zombie Powder-- I'll always remember when Gamma showed off the evil rings and it sprouted tons of these tentacles with little hands that burrowed under his fingernails and crept up his arm under the skin. Brr! Gives me chills just thinking about it.

Whatever he does next, I hope he does a seinen manga where he can get away with more stuff like that -- maybe he should try for a monthly serial in Shonen Jump Plus or whatever it was that Claymore was serialized in. I think he'd be excellent at it.

For me, I guess Bleach has just ... gotten... boring. I dunno. Ever since the Fullbringer arc, it feels like we've been watching reruns. Haven't we seen this exact same kind of fight countless times before already? Even the Hueco Mundo arc had its interesting moments, like the Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra fight and suchlike. Going to new places, seeing new stuff, it was fun, even if it was kind of stretched out. What, in the past two or three years of Bleach, has actually been cool? Can we name something, even one scene, one image, that made us actually say "Well drat, that looks pretty badass!"?

It's really too bad. I'm glad that this is the last arc. I look forward to what Kubo does next.

So Yhwach's name resembling YHWH isn't a coincidence. Interesting.

What's more, the Japanese language doesn't seem to distinguish "B" and "V" sounds in the same way that it doesn't distinguish between "L" and "R". So YOD HEH VAV HEH could conceivably be rendered as "Yu Ha Ba Ha". Basically, he's the God of the Hebrews!

It would be really funny if at the end of this arc, it was just revealed that the entire plot after the end of Soul Society was actually an illusion. Right on Soukyoku Hill, when all the soul reapers were about to fight Aizen, Aizen actually activated his bankai, creating an entirely artificial reality, in which the entire cast had been playing out their lives entirely unaware -- including Aizen's defeat and the Quincy war. The Fullbringers were entirely made up all this time!

Finally, when the illusion breaks, everyone returns to the end of the Soul Society Arc with a dumbfounded look on their faces. Aizen is there, and he removes the Hougyoku from Rukia, flips his hair, and checks out, with a smug look on his face. The end!

Because his power only works if he's imagining a clearly-defined object or substance. Meaning that he has to know EXACTLY what he's changing something into on a realistic level, not just a theoretical or hypothetical one.

In this case, that means he has to know exactly what kind of material Kenpachi couldn't cut, and then imagine that his body is that material. If he doesn't know the exact identity of the material, though, then he can't manifest it, because his brain has no idea what to manifest.


Make sense?

Yes, I suppose that does make sense! It basically boils down to a childrens' playground game-type situation. "Bang! I shoot you!" "No, because I had bulletproof armor." "But I still kill you, because it's an armor piercing bullet!" "No you don't, because--" Etc.

Also Uharaha "My bankai is simply not the kind of bankai that can be used for training others or lending them power" (ch 224 I think).

I'll betcha his bankai gives everyone else in a 10 km radius whatever disease it is that he's got.

Actually, it turns out he's just super strong and suppressing the symptoms with his reiatsu, and that actually he's infected with Ghost-TB, -H5N1, and -Ebola all at once, so that everyone who gets it pretty much collapses into a mass of disease.

Yes! This is the match we've been waiting for! Mayuri, who once resurrected Nemu with a strange technique versus "Cum Stank" Giselle! The next chapter will surely regale us with sticky smelly spiritron struggle! :suicide:

EDIT: Speaking "seriously" though, I think Kubo's next manga should be a slice-of-life gag comedy like SKET Dance or Gintama. He's really fantastic about it.

Or totally ignore it because who cares?

At the very least, Viz will probably have to reconsider the rating that's printed on its trade paperback volumes. Currently, I believe that Bleach is labeled "T", but they might have to change the labels to "OT" (Older Teen) to reflect the content. They might also have to reconsider publishing the chapter (or at least censoring it) in their monthly Shonen Jump anthology magazine, since the content of that magazine is skewed towards the 14 and under group, I believe.
