Naruto and Bleach II: I don't have the heart to care anymore.

[King Cannon]

In all fairness, even Oda just slaps together words he thinks sound cool, grammar is secondary.

I'm waiting for Kubo to state that german is an "evil sounding language" though.


The only reason Mayuri led the Quinzi purge was because he feared the coming of the Bespectacled One
The Demon of Sewing

Is there any mangaka out there that actually bothers researching about foreign grammar when using foreign language?

[onemoment]

So, is this new quincy bankai supposed to be that thing that Uryu did a while back? The thing that made him stronger then a captain but took his power? If so...that might be a nice use of an old plot device. I feel like I must be forgetting something that makes this really stupid, but it gives a great excuse as to why the quincy have the power to overtake Soul Society.

...Araki ?

[Baldulf]

So, let me get this straight. After Root tries to kill Kabuto because he knows too much and making him an objective important enough to send Orochimaru after him he simply changes his name and infiltrates again in the Leaf village, same face and all, without anyone noticing?

This manga keeps getting better with every damn chapter, I swear.

I laughed when I saw the foot at the end of the bleach chapter.

Kubo's famous shoe cliffhanger.

[Keo2309]

Kind of cool that the quincys have angel like bankais, and looks like Kabuto put Orochimaru's bodily fluids inside himself...creepy

I thought I was interpreting that dripping wrong since they showed the snake/dragon, but I still get that feeling. That's... Kishi for you.

Anyway, Bleach wasn't too bad. Minus the odd art of the transformation, I do like the way Kubo draws Fritz face. To me he actually looks a tad German, and like a stern kind of dude. Aside from that, lol about Ishida, Doddonchakka rescued off panel, and the foot (which I thought was a Hindenburg reference till coming here.)

As for Naruto... Kabuto's past is just... wow. How did that picture thing make sense? Seriously? In a manga where eye magic explains basically everything, he goes with a slightly changed nose in a picture angle? Haha. Kishi, mangaka of the sages.

[KaizokuJinbei]

lol so Kabuto really did suffer from identity theft. amusing.

[King Cannon]

Who are the remaining "5 Special War Potentials" Kirge spoke about? We know Ichigo is one of them.

Likely candidates:

Ishida
Isshin (Ichigo's dad)
Ryuuken (Ishida's dad)
Urahara
Yamamoto
Unohana
Chad
Orihime
Yachiru
Grimmjow
Neliel
... Aizen?

Sorry for trying to start a serious discussion in this thread. I'm so ashamed of myself.

[The Daz]

You forgot Perona

[Cyclone_Baroness]

Naruto: I'm so confused. The time lines and identity plots seem really wonky and super flimsy. The last several Naruto chapters have been extremely boring.

Bleach: I'm actually enjoying this series again. I think that's mostly due to there being Ishida plot stuff, he's such a know-it-all fussy person, but I can't help but like him. He's been my favorite for like, ever. I also liked that they had a legitimate ranged character in a series full of people using swords as a means to launch energy attacks...I do kinda hope that his release is a slightly more extreme version than what we saw during his fight with Mayuri in SS. It's kinda interesting that Kubo is even actually using him as someone that's known, and is supposed to be strong. Was Ishida only half trying? Will Kubo use the ever useful, "Oh he has something blocking his full powa", "He forgot his mission" (Goku Style) or "He's actually been faking it, he's the final boss" plot device lmao.

But damn Kubo seems to really be rushing. Don saved off screen with Uruhara? Was Chad in this chapter? Seriously why did he even go with them? I get that you take Orihime, cause you never go on a mission without a dedicated healer. But geeze.

[GEPPETTOSMONSTER]

And u forgot Shishigawara

Edit: damnit got cut off by cyclone

Sorry...lol.

[Primo11]

So bleach has become more interesting then naruto. The times they are a' changin'

Seriously though there's a whole war going on and kishi decides to dedicate whole chapters to kabuto. KABUTO.

[MarcelloF]

I enjoyed the Naruto chapter much more than I thought I would by the spoilers... Though I don't understand how Kabuto was able to return to the village.

Maybe he returned and they just pretended to never try to kill him, because their plan failed. xD Like, "OK, Orochimaru didn't kill him, so we'll act like nothing happened, so we can continue using him until the best opportunity to kill him."

lol
"Ishida? Might you be referring to Ishida Uryuu?"
"So you even know a lot about Ishida."

Yep, he knows his name, he clearly knows everything.

That made me laugh, too xD Typical Kubo conversation, really.

As for Naruto... Kabuto's past is just... wow. How did that picture thing make sense? Seriously? In a manga where eye magic explains basically everything, he goes with a slightly changed nose in a picture angle? Haha. Kishi, mangaka of the sages.

Hate to defend that, but he left when he was like 8 years old. People can change a lot from then and through puberty. The Konoha ninjas had been sending her pictures of someone else for years, so that image was burned into her mind as Kabuto.

[No Maam]

Who are the remaining "5 Special War Potentials" Kirge spoke about?

Huh ?

16 characters of Noriaki-Kun

[King Cannon]

Huh ?

16 characters of Noriaki-Kun

Oh, sorry. Kirge didn't mention the "5" part. That was just an unknown voice.

[No Maam]

Oh, sorry. Kirge didn't mention the "5" part. That was just an unknown voice.

Yeah that sounded too well planned and foreshadow-y for Kubo.

Yeah, I can understand that, but still... it seems a bit odd. I just genuinely don't understand why he does something normal now when he's used ShariRinneGans at every other point. Not to mention they're original powers might actually make sense here.

Even worse... he showed us the pictures, and the only difference seems to be the nose. Probably just aesthetic purposes, but meh.

[Gliblord]

What if Izanami "decides fate" and changes Kabuto's past into a lovely happy one
