Naruto and Bleach: Let's put this thread to bed I

[!Volpe]

I don't get it, I just don't get it.
If in Bleach they fight in the air, why do they need a virtual Karakura Town?

[MDL]

another thread title idea: "orange jumpsuit apparatus I"
though i'm not sure how many people here have heard of the band red jumpsuit apparatus.

[Kareem Said]

Here's the play by play for Bleach:

Ah Yachiru. Kinda nice to see her again. I had nothing really against her.

Now that we're in Karakura Town the similarities between Ginjo and Aizen are even more blatant than before.

So Ishida is going to fight now. I'm sure he'll be very useful from now o- AHAHAHAHAHA!!! Yeah. Can't really say that with a straight face. But hey maybe. We'll see. He's got about as much chance as the Cubs do of winning a world series. Chicago native btw.

Battle of the Shrimpos! Whoever wins, we lose! Specially if you're a fangirl. To a fangirl losing even a single Shrimpo is a fate worse than death!

I have to be honest. Rukia getting confounded by the bunnies is kind of funny. Maybe just because it reminds me of the very early volumes back when I actually liked Bleach. I really hope she kicks Riruka's ass. Please Kubo! Just this once! Just once do something right!

Tsukishima vs Byakuya. This is probably the worst fight of the lot of them. And considering three of the other fights involve Shrimpo, Riruka and skinhead kid; That says a lot. They're both incredibly unlikable. Though if I had to choose which one was more likable it might actually be Tsukishima. And that's sad as hell.

So yeah. This chapter was pretty boring. There's just no hype whatsoever for these fights. I'm sure the next few months will be just as boring. God.

Please Shueisha. Please end Bleach. Pretty Please!

I am the only one who found it hilarious how Byakuya is like "Kurosaki is a lenient man. Even if he's overcome by anger he wouldn't kill you" to Tsukishima, considering how Ichigo was going insane and saying he had to kill tsukishima this whole arc

Speaking of which, the whole whether or not Ichigo could kill Tsukishima subplot was completely pointless as it went nowhere, that issue is completely dropped now.

[Kareem Said]

Now the play-by-play for Naruto.

They sure are placing a lot of emphasis on the eyepatch guy. Which is kind of annoying since he's a character we never met before, and have no reason to care about. Even more annoying since Temari is right there and she's been in the series for more than 500 chapters. And she was a pretty good character even with the limited knowledge we had of her. What. The Hell. Kishi. I honestly think he's trolling us.

Look at the size of Ino's dads eyebrows. It's like Kishi doesn't care. Oh right he doesn't.

"Your piss breaks are too long!" Yes Narutards. Surely this is one of the most complex, mature and DEEP Shonen ever written. Why the Hell did I like that juvenile One Piece for all those years!?

The way Naruto finished off the Raikage was meh. On one hand the spread of him taking down the Raikage was actually rather well done, I thought. On the other hand the method used was lazy and a bit nonsensical. You hit his scar so you win? Lame. Why could no one else figure that out then? Maybe the reason Naruto won is that no one else was stupid enough to try something like that out?

So that chapter was also rather mediocre. A bit better than the Bleach chapter though. Not that that means anything.

I'm off to read OP and HxH! Thank God for good series!

[No Maam]

Tsukishima vs Byakuya. This is probably the worst fight of the lot of them. And considering three of the other fights involve Shrimpo, Riruka and skinhead kid; That says a lot. They're both incredibly unlikable. Though if I had to choose which one was more likable it might actually be Tsukishima. And that's sad as hell.

I was just gonna post how in real life this would just be as unlikable as Hitler fighting Stalin one on one, but....bullshit I want to see them duke it out !

Anyways, not gonna read the chapter today, not in the mood, plus it's late and I feel my immedate observations would just not be up to par now.

But I have full trust in Kubo making this as just a sad waste of space and ink as all his other chapters since.....ever, basicly.

[IceBorg]

The heck.....isn't that forest on Karakura Town? I don't get Ginjou's logic. Did Kubo did that so that he can draw more white?

And yay Yachiru!!!!!! And I gotta admit Rukia's part made me laugh.

[MetaMario]

Huh, I thought the chapter would be coming tomorrow. So, Bleach:

Hahaha! Liking Yachiru's new X pin in her hair.....glad Kubo didn't forget her. But alas....Bradley seems to be really dead. *sighs* Oh well, just wish we'd gonna a little more something out Kenpachi's fight.

Next we have Hitsugaya vs Yukio, which really does not excite me. I really thought Hitsugaya would jump into his overly-used Bankai at the drop of a hat, but I guess he doesn't have to use it....yet. Again, this fight does not draw my attenton too much.

Then we have Rukia vs Riruka. (oh for crying out loud, their names are similar?) Got a chuckle out of Rukia being confounded by the cute things (her obsession with rabbits comes to mind), but Rukia better kick her ass.

Ichigo (and Ishida) vs. Kugo. Wait, wait.....you're telling me Uryu had a suspection there were other Subsitutes back in the SS arc? Why didn't he mention it? Ichigo: I would've forgotten it a few days----seriously? If I was Ichigo, I'd be pretty curious if others had my job. To think that could've served as discreet foreshadowing for Kugo's reveal....

Now Byakuya vs Tsukishima.....eh, at least Tsukishima isn't just warping his memory right from the beginning. But I don't know....I really think he's just gonna troll the hell out of Byakuya next chapter (which I fucking pray doesn't happen)

Also, is me, or did Rukia and Byakuya both look off in a few panels....?

http://mangastream.com/read/bleach/58795317/17 (Byakuya, middle left panel, looks REALLY off)

.........

Eh.....guess I'll read Naruto.

This good enough?:http://dsss.be/hitler-vs-stalin/index.php?img=0

This week's Naruto was entertaining to say the least.

[ChesCa]

*Steps in*
Time to reach the bottom of the wheel again.
Play-by-Play Bleach:

Hidden:

NotBradley: It's impossible!
But yes, it is possible to look stupid while dying and looking like your eyes are about to explode.
Kenpachi: No one else is done yet?
I can relate. Sadly, in my case, I only say this at the dinner table.
Kenpachi: I'm bored. Bored bored bored.
If you're going to recycle lines Kubo, could you at least make a song out of it or something to entertain us?
Yachiru: No! We're not allowed to go yet!
Oh hey, someone slightly interesting.
Title: Quiet Chamber, Noisy Heart
Tagline: The Death Games Begin!
How the fuck does that title match? I think he's just picking random quotes from poetry! Someone should sue!
Ichigo: Karakura Town again?
NotAizen: You wanted backgrounds? Fine, we fucking copypasted them just for you!
Ichigo: What?
NotAizen: Sorry, I don't know where that came from.
Ishida: I'm joining the fight because I got healed.
....Meh, not everything can be seen onscreen.
Ishida: Sorry Kurosaki, I thought that there might've been other sub Shinis before you, but I kept forgetting to tell you.
Here's my translation:
Ishida:
It would explain why he waited after an entire fucking time skip to mention this, wouldn't it? :)
Ishida: I figured they'd tell you if he were alive or dead, but since they didn't they probably didn't know either so I said absolutely nothing. I really should've said something in retrospect.

Ichigo: You fuckhead! That don't matter! I would've forgotten anyway.
Ichigo (thoughts): Were they hiding something?
Congrats Ichigo, you're the SMART one this week.
Ishida: Kurosaki doesn't need to know.
Never mind, I got the text mixed up about who was talking. And Ishida, there isn't a Slowpoke clip good enough for that level of stupid.
*Hitsugaya v Hi2Gaya*
*Pixel Missles*
I can dig those.
Hi2Gaya: Blah blah blah I'll explain the rules later.
*Rukia vs Charlotte PerNoA*
Rukia: Don't think my love of stuffed animals will stop me!!
Pfft. Okay, that got a smirk out of me.
*The clones*
Byakuya (so that's who he was): You are a bad person.

Aaand that's this week's Bleach.
Let's see if this week's Naruto can at least help cover the vomit like aftertaste.

Naruto:

Hidden:

*Fight starts*
Hey, the first page didn't hurt. Maybe this will be an okay week.
Naruto: *Rasenfail*
Naruto: Shit! It's not perfect yet.
Hey, I'll take this. Sure it's padding, but at least he's less Jesus-y now.
Naruto: Hey, I need to chat with Bee.
Comm Guy: You need someone from the Comm Squad.
Comm Guy: I'm from the Comm Squad.
Realistic dialogue thar.
Raikage: *Punches*
CG: Oh noes, he'll punch him.
....This means what?
CG: LAVA RUBBER!
Why is it lava rubber? Just make it rubber for all the good it does.
Still, you get points for turning it into a decoy. Sure, you could argue that it's making the Raikage looking dumb, but mindless zombie's aren't exactly smart, you know?
Hachibi: Stop peeing already!
Charming. Maybe if Kishi really wants to make peeing funny, he should ask Vivi and Zidane, or possibly even Kojima. At this point, why the hell not?
Hachibi: We fought and....I don't remember how he got injured.
Okay, strange but this should make things more interesting.
Naruto: *Normal Rasengan*
...Is he....strategizing? Dare I dream this will lead up to something clever? What did he figure out about the Raikage?
Naruto: *Hits his arm*
Raikage: *Cuts himself*
Wait, what does that---oh no no no no no no. Please tell me you're joking. Please tell me the Raikage didn't cut himself out of guilt!
Naruto: He fell on his jutsu while it was active.
*Takes deep calming breaths*
Still stupid, but you lowered the bar so much that this is actually a step up. No rage....this week.
Tagline: Next Time: Gaara vs Mizukage
Yay! We get Mr. Silly again!

Man this week blew.

[Machuran.]

Ichigo (and Ishida) vs. Kugo. Wait, wait.....you're telling me Uryu had a suspection there were other Subsitutes back in the SS arc? Why didn't he mention it? Ichigo: I would've forgotten it a few days----seriously? If I was Ichigo, I'd be pretty curious if others had my job. To think that could've served as discreet foreshadowing for Kugo's reveal....

Probably the same reason why Ichigo didn't ask his dad any questions after finding out that he's a Shinigami.

[ChesCa]

Btw, how have Kon and that Terminator girl working for Urahara been doing? Did she go on another killing spree yet?

[MetaMario]

Probably the same reason why Ichigo didn't ask his dad any questions after finding out that he's a Shinigami.

He has no common sense....at all?

Read Naruto. Feh, I thought there was going to be some strategy in Naruto's attack, not just "Raikage fell on his jutsu". And oh god....Kishi has ruined Gaara so I dread his actions next chapter.

Still.....wasn't too bad I guess.

[HXHAlex]

Byakuya is the best reason to read Bleach. He made this chapter

[Bobjr]

Byakuya is the best reason to read Bleach. He made this chapter

I think you spelled Yachiru wrong.

[HXHAlex]

I don't even know who Yachiru is. Too many names in Bleach lol

[!Volpe]

Bya.... who?
I agree that the only good thing was Yachiru

[CharmedWard]

Just read Naruto, someone please explain how lava makes rubber?

And it wasn't until that close up panel on page 11 that I realised the Raikage has a Harry Potter scar.
