Well, if you ask me, Bleach is worth starting from the beginning. Sure, it's like 393 chapters, but manga chapters are short, so it's fine. So yeah, start from the start.

On another topic, I just saw episode 259...next to the dictionnary description of 'Filler' they should mention that the best example of a filler Seriously, how could they do such an awesome filler with Muramasa but fail so bad with the Beast Swords?!

---

I've not watched a single episode of the new filler. I'll prolly try and skip the whole thing.

Thanks to Kai-V for the avatar and signature!

Good idea...

I just thought about it: Basically, what they're saying with the newest chapter is that Yamamoto is completely helpless without his zanpakuto...

I think Aizen's gonna have a little surprise, next week...

Yeah, that kind of thinking has always back fired.

Say...

I was just thinking about it. If Wonderweiss has got the time to go foul around with Yamamoto and most likely get killed, does that mean that Kensei, despite being a vizard and being in Bankai, got beaten?

Exactly what i was thinking...

Hey, what happened to Ukitake? He got impaled by Wonderweiss and on bleach wiki his status is unknown

I guess he's inside that healing kido cube...or something...

I really wouldn't mind if he was dead. Seriously, we basically have no deaths for the good guys and more than ten deaths of the bad guys, counting the Fraccions...

Who cares they have Aizen who should have just attacked them by himself because everyone else was largely useless except wonderweiss who I just knew would come back to kill someone but i didn't think it would turn out this way. Where in the hell is Kisuke Urahara? It's not like he or Tessai could just have gone to the soul society with karakura town seeing as how he's been banned ,and what about Isshin Kurosaki or Ryuken Ishida of people are just hanging out there somewhere doing nothing.

Lol I was wondering about where those characters were too a while ago. Anddd when Yamamoto grabbed Aizen's arm, I think it wouldve been smarter to cut him down first THEN release ryujin jakka instead of releasing it from the beginning... >_> cuz Wonderweiss wouldn't have been able to interfere if it was just a mere cutting down I'm assuming lol.

Failing doesn't mean I'm giving up


Thanks to LDrago for creating this awesome sig :]

Well, Yamamoto seems pretty stupid, right now. He had Aizen's arm, he was certain that it really was Aizen, but instead of just stabbing him very quickly, which he is probably able to do, he instead summons like five huge fire towers that seems to move very slowly towards Aizen, therefore killing every other captain injured on the floor.

Not only is that really retarded, it's really hypocritical...

---

Wow, I did not see that coming. Chapter 195 was epic and the ending was unexpected for me.

I wonder if the old guy is still going to live...

Spoiler (Click to View)

It was indeed a pretty good chapter, I kinda saw Wonderweiss' death coming XD

But doesn't it just shows how lazy Yamamoto is? Couldn't he have just taken down every Espada before absolutely everyone got incredibly hurt?

MY WORD WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU! That would make FAR TOO MUCH sense.

You just made me think, maybe all along his real target was ichigo's hollow or to find out something.

I know it is probably stupid to quote my own post but this weeks manga just seems so close to what I said. There really is a reason why Aizen left Ichigo alive.

On top of this, I'm not so sure if Aizen really is the true enemy, I say this because after Tousen they went to them fighting Aizen and through the whole fight, Gin has just been standing there watching and he has showed less of his power than what Aizen has. It just a thought though.

http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/396/ Just so we can have a spoiler-free discussion, as always...

So...instinctive defense of its master, huh?...That implies that the Hogyouku is a thinking being. That's insanly weird.

Some cool info was given in this chapter, but was I the only one to find it really short?

---

Chapter 397 is epic from the beginning to the end. Ichigo's F-Bomb was in just the right spot. I'm not so surprised but I can't believe Kubo chose this angle for Aizen. The next chapter must be full of win!

http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/397/18-19/

Love the experession on Ichigo's face.

You know, the whole thing about Aizen setting up all those battles for Ichigo to "grow" really reminds me of .hack//G.U, where Ovan wanted to make Haseo stronger for his own purpose...

Anyway, quite a strange chapter, if you ask me. On one hand, all that stuff is pretty epic, but on another, all that talking Aizen did was pretty much done too in the chapter before. Only difference being that he added one or two things.

O come on, you can't say that it isn't cool that someone has appeared, I know it was at the end of the chapter but that is just awesome.

I never that it isn't cool, I said it was strange...

I just don't get why Ichigo is so...mesmorized by Aizen or why Aizen explains it all in the first place. So Ichigo is his ultimate goal. Sweet, that's cool, nice plot twist n' all. But, when you think about it, why does Aizen feels the absolute need to explain that to our protagonist? He probably doesn't care about Ichigo's opinion, unless he wants to use Ichigo in the future and that it's capital that he knows the entire plan from the start, but if that's not for that, why? For Aizen's ego, or something?

I dunno...I just think it's weird that even Bleach's main bad guy falls in the trap of talking too much...

Sidenote: The filler is still stupid, just so you know. But soon to be done, I believe, around the beginning of April.

---

I think you miss the point of why these things are said, it isn't exactly for the character to know, it's more for the readers to know what he was really up to, it is just pointed at a character since Aizen can't exactly say it like he is really speaking to us. like when Shinji talk about his sword for example. Though it might be like this because Aizen hasn't finished what he was getting at, we'll have to wait and see.

Yeah, it's nice to keep the reader informed, but I think everyone can agree that mister Kubo is talented enough to think of something so that it doesn't come as just an explanation to the readers, something that real thinking people wouldn't actually do...

After all, Shinji was basically shown as a total idiot, since his power revolves around the surprise of seeing everything reversed, but explaining it all kinda screws up the whole "surprise" effect. Shinji didn't need to explain all that to Aizen, you don't need to explain your power to someone you want to kill, that's just stupid. I know I'm not the smartest guy around, but I know that I can handle some thinking. I'm pretty sure that everyone would have eventually understood "Oh, Shinji's power is reversing stuff."

I kinda feel treated like a guy with the IQ of a plant, or something...

Ok, first off, how do you know that a plant doesn't have a High IQ? Also, that kind of thing wouldn't be that easy to understand, even I can't think it all up and it also depends on how far his sword goes. On top of this it did make any difference because that probably wasn't Aizen in the first place.

---

Drago's Rage!

...Well...I would assume a plant isn't too smart You want a better example, or something? How about a lemming?

Shinji could have explained it later to an ally or something like that. Explaining your power to the enemy is the stupidest thing in the manga world.

It's like when Zommari Leroux, the seventh Espada, wounded Byakuya with his sonido trick and, right after that, explained it just so Byakuya can perfectly understand the trickery and kill him a few minutes after.

---

I was being Sarcastic but Lol to the Lemmings part.

Either way it doesn't really matter now, what is done is done. I don't really have anything else to say so I am going to leave it at this before this gets out of hand and stupid.
