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

[pyromonki]

Oh god. If Ukitake really does turn out to be another Aizen then.........I don't know.

Not much to say about Naruto though aside from why the hell would anyone wear an impenetrable "battle mask". Oh right, it's just Kishi blatantly prolonging Tobidara's eventual reveal, which will just end up being really lame anyway.

Funny enough, in Jojo BA, something like that would actually lead to his downfall somehow.

[piratemarimo]

what the devil is going on here? Ukitake? Evil???

Spoiler:

[Big_Bad_Lith]

I had to remind myself who in the fuck Ukitake was, and once I found out he was that sickly bishie who pals around with cherry blossom kimono dude, I remembered why I forgot about his sorry ass.

It must be fun being Kubo, you get to write literally whatever comes into your head, and people will eat it up because they love "plot twists".

[Cyclone_Baroness]

That sort of plot twist using Ukitake would have been more of an impact if he used that character more often. The only one it might make someone double think about is Rukia. But honestly...So what? This reveal better have something actually in it. Was this elaborate revenge against Ichigo's dad? That would really be the only thing I could think of.

Soifon - Fine, I guess

I've been annoyed with Soifon right from the start, where she fought Yourichi for petty lesbo reasons rather than being reasonable.
I flat out dislike her after the "war" (I will never stop using the ""s when referring to that. Ever.), where she cut a deal with the Vizards: she would work together with them, only if they'd let her imprison Urahara for months. Again for petty lesbo reasons. And after the Aizen reveal should've cleared him of all past charges. And after he'd helped SS get into Hueco Mondo.


Shunsui loses points for being extremely creepy, in that he hits on his subordinate whom he's known since she was a small child, just because she became a clone of his old subordinate. Whom he also used to hit on.

At the end of the day Komamura is the only really decent person.

To be perfectly honest, I forgot that that even happened.

Well, I guess that's the definition of irony.

"SOUL SOCIETY IS EVIL! THE BADGE MONITORS US AND REDUCES OUR POWER!"
Because God forbid that the SUBSTITUTE Shinigami is given 100% free range to do what he or she wants. Forget all the risks that come with giving a human that much power.

[Shezar]

Im bit dissapointed,didnt laugh enough.
It isnt that suprising they use the badge to track and i cant see what so dramatic about it.

[Juvar]

The title is probably the best summary of Kubo's message to the reader.

"beLIEve."

He wants us to believe his blatant lies. Loving it. More than the chapter anyways. Someone inCLUEde this in the new thread title please.

[Oga Simpson]

"Hahahah! You were a pawn the whole time! They were using you for their own gain! Mwahahaha!" Now that would be all well and good, if that was shown to be the case at all, at any point in the series. 'Cos I'm pretty sure that SS kinda let Ichigo do whatever he wanted, apart from when they stopped him from going to Hueco Mundo, they pretty much gave him free reign to take out the bad guys. Think Ginjo and co. may be over-reacting to the whole suveilance part really.

[choperman]

maybe soul society set this up because he just went around butchering people before and they didn't want it to happen again, then ishida will tell ichigo common sense like why the badge does all these things, which you've all already listed and that aizen 2.0 was just manipulating the truth to make SS seem evil

but that would make to much sense for kubo

[Luphrecio]

Bleach is pretty dumb.

Why is he over dramaticizing ukitake placing a restriction thing on him, not even that serious, if I were ichigo Id be like *ok makes sense, helps keeps my powers in check, and let them know if im in trouble so that they can come help me (which they just did) so thats good. cya*

I dont know if Im supposed to feel shocked or whatever. . .I just kinda facepalmed when they showed ukitake in somekind of evil shading...

[Nobodyman]

Good lord this chapter was stupid. I mean, I knew it would be, but I didn't think it would be that bad.

Bland color page with barely any color and is mostly white. What a shock.

Goddamn what is it with Kubo and these close-ups on mouths lately? It just looks stupid.

beLIEve.......oh....yeah.....that's clever. At least Kubo has shown that he's learned enough English to know that "lie" is in "believe."

"Wipe the floor with them"?! Dude, what have you been watching. Ichigo has been keeping up with you just fine and he hasn't even released his bankai yet!

"It's not an easy decision how beneficial someone will be to an organization." Umm, I'd say the guy who just rescued a girl from being wrongfully executed and has shown a trend of fighting for the good side. Plus, it doesn't do any harm to just give him a badge that doesn't even really give him that much power and can just as easily be revoked.

"What do they do with those who aren't?" Umm....kill them? I mean, what do you even mean by those who aren't beneficial? Do you mean Hollows? Ordinary humans? I guess you mean people with spiritual powers who come into contact with SS, but.......do they really get that many of those?

"A benefit or a danger, they award you a badge either way." Umm, if someone was an obvious danger to SS, wouldn't they apprehend them rather than give them some stupid badge?!

"Have you ever experienced its authority at all?" No! Because I just spent 300 chapters fighting in some stupid war arc and then the year after without my Shinigami powers!

"Hey look I'm Kubo, and I took some stupid gag throwaway line from the Afro Shinigami and made it look like some kinda cool foreshadowing! I'm a genius!"

"Your reiatsu is so powerful as a Shinigami, but it didn't do anything while you were in human form." Umm, I thought Ichigo could never use his powers in human form!

"Ukitake Jushirou! NO! NOT HIM! Not the guy I...........I don't know, may have talked to once!"

"This truth is too much for Kurosaki as he is now to bear!" Yeah, you don't want to freak him out or he'll make crazy deranged faces and run away leaving his friends at the mercy of his enemies. Also, what do you even mean by "as he is now"? What, now that he has his Shinigami powers back and beat this guy's ass at any minute?

"BANKAI!" Please Kubo, surprise me. Surprise me next week with a new Bankai for Ichigo. I would just love to see that.

Oh god that was dumb.

[Gliblord]

This is probably where Kubo wanted to take this arc from the start, and then he got sidetracked by plummeting ratings. I wonder if he really had that in mind since the panel with Karakura's previous resident shinigami (afro guy).

[Nobodyman]

New thread title: Ichigo doesn't beLIEve it I

[Gliblord]

That panel of nothing but Ginjou's teeth was hilarious. How the fuck are the anime people gonna deal with that.

--- Update From New Post Merge ---

Oh and beLIEve is a total ripoff from MGS2.

[Cyclone_Baroness]

This was the dumbest thing ever. Why the hell does it matter? You don't let temp employees have full access to anything. Who the fuck cares? Maybe Ichigo should die so he can reapply as a full time employee shinigami so he can have benefits...

[Cyan D. Funk]

Is there anyone in Soul Society who isn't​ a complete asshole? I mean really.

[choperman]

New thread title: Ichigo doesn't beLIEve it I

It's Perfect!!

oh yes I know I've said it a million times already, but can someone give kishi's twitter account?

oh yes an as my friend said, keeping his powers in check keeps people around him alive, monitoring him helps save him, or stop him if he goes insane,

imagine a guy with the ability to destroy entire cities and be completely invisible to everyone around him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
