Title: Bleach (Manga Discussion Mainly)
Post by: Jericho on April 17, 2009, 05:49:19 AM
ITT we discuss Bleach. Why am I doing this after having the most epic love/exreme RAAAAGE relationship with this series after the end of the awesome Soul Society Arc? Simple.

Kubo has reached Hideo Kojima levels of professional trolling with the last spoiler (which has apparently been confirmed to be real). It's beyond comprehension. All hail Kubo [spoiler]and the "Knights of Yammy, King Slap-A-Ho" XD[/spoiler] and discuss. XD

Seriously, has any manga in its running managed to pull a move so amazingly WTF in nature that the sheer negative density (because even die hards can admit, this [parasitic bomb] was whack) of the twist looped out of infinity and wound up becoming good again?

I swear, it's stuff like this that keeps me coming back. I. Love. It. XD

I looked towards the girl that looked at me with an unwavering gaze, and finally understood.

"Oh I get it."

My body was already starting to fade away to ash.

"This is it."

I took my arm to reach hers.

"This here in my hand."

My hand turned to dust before I could reach her.

"The Heart"

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.

Anyways, now there's going to be more ulquiorra x orihime shippings then ever.

I think it maintains a freshness because when I create manga, I don’t think about what’s going to happen—I just come up with an idea and let it flow.

So this is basically an improvised manga.

Yeah, this is pretty rage-inducing. Specially when you look back at the Soul Society arc.

(because even die hards can admit, this [parasitic bomb] was whack)

The [parasitic bomb] made perfect sense to me. Perfect reason for the guy to not have been killed sooner on.
I'm betting Szayel is responsible in some fashion, though. The mad scientist mentioned Yammy and he was analyzing Ichigo's reiatsu after all. Just as much as Szayel is probably involved in creating both Ichigo and Aaroniero's unlimited potential.

Ofcourse, as Mayuri discovered Dordoni and Curucii's corpses, that means all that data on Ichigo is now in his deranged hands...

Quote
Anyways, now there's going to be more ulquiorra x orihime shippings then ever.

And it's a direct Kaien x Rukia reference (where is the heart, it's here, between us), which by association also means Ichigo x Rukia shippings. Great fun.

Quote
So I heard this Kubo guy is a good writer.

Kubo's a good writer in his own right. His forte is characters, their personality and interactions. Which leads to quite  the dramatic moments.

Quote
Wow, he also forgot his own story?

Every writer forgets parts of his own story at times. You might remember the events, but the specific impact of each moment is lost as time passes.

Quote
So this is basically an improvised manga.

Not quite, it's improvised and preplanned at the same time. Kubo has a grand plan, but side tracks whenever he feels like it. Which is part of the reason why if he started to show us everybody's background, Bleach would never end, he'd could keep himself writing forever.

Also, planning can also go so far, improvisation needs to fill the gap. Also improvisation is what created the plan to begin with and will lead to further planning. Like in the beginning of Bleach, Kubo had already planned Isshin was a shinigami, but he didn't plan Soul Society's hierarchy at that time. Then he thought up the captains and he established the grand chain of events we see today, with Isshin's mysteriously torn captain robe.

Of course, in general Kubo's focus is characters. Which explains the focus on personality and drama. But all the same,you can tell how far he plans ahead which such concepts as the Espada rankings. There was perfect use of rank revelations throughout the last few arc. Similar long term plans can be seen with Ichigo's power, Aizen's betrayal and many other things. And I can assure you, some hints Kubo's dropped in the past will not be shed light upon until another 100 chapters have passed, that's how his planning works.

Meantime, enjoy the character interaction and drama.

That hollow Ichigo was [tornado fang]ing crazy

I didn't like SSJ3 Hollow at all. Ichigo vs. Byakuya already aced the whole "I'm going to di--LOLSURPRISE HOLLOW MODE", and the Vizard training was more than enough Complete Hollowification. This fight felt so damned recycled.

Perfect reason for the guy to not have been killed sooner on.

"I just wasn't there fighting" was a flawless reason until this week. I just can't stand how stupid is that they are defeating the Espada in an orderly manner (Aaroniero > Szayel > Grimmjow (well, not here) Zommari > Nnoitra > Ulquiorra > Now it's Halibel's turn)

Kubo's a good writer in his own right. His forte is characters, their personality and interactions. Which leads to quite  the dramatic moments.

Yeah, except the characters that have personality and interactions are underdeveloped. Hoping to get some answer in a hypothetical 'climax' or 'answers' arc is like confirming the pace of the plot has been poor, at the very least. I don't see these dramatic moments you speak of, by the way.

But she´s wearing a perma bra :P

We knew from over a 100 chapters ago that his hollow would be back, the guy said so himself.

Besides, there are plenty of differences between this battle and Byakuya's. From the immense power gap, influence from other characters, Ichigo's death, Ulquiorra driving Orihime and Ishida to the point of terror, Ichigo's lack of mind, his inability to return to normal, him desecrating corpses and attacking his own friends.

If you think just going hollow makes the two fights the exact same, that is being quite superficial. The very concepts of the two battles were even different from the very beginning. Ichigo was attempting to show Byakuya he was at his level. Against Ulquiorra, the odds were always impossible, but still he tried desperately because he had to win.

Quote
"I just wasn't there fighting" was a flawless reason until this week.

Don't think of it from a story perspective, think of it from a presentation perspective. As the weakest of the Espada,  he was always cannon fodder, especially now that he lasted so long and everybody else fought stronger adversaries. The main characters even talk of it in front of Yammy, which is why he revealed that twist. All in all, Yammy's recent revelation makes perfect sense in giving all of the Espada equal spotlight.

As for a story perspective. Ever since Aizen went to the real world, it has always seemed he's leaving his home base barely defended. Yammy's power boost rectifies this. Sooner or later Wonderweiss, who is an Espada level numeros, will probably also be thrown into the mix.

Quote
Aaroniero > Szayel > Grimmjow (well, not here) Zommari > Nnoitra > Ulquiorra > Now it's Halibel's turn)

That wasn't the order. Szayel lasted beyond Grimmjow and Zomari.

9 > 6 > 7 > 8 > 5 > 4.

0/10, 1, 2 and 3 are remaining. Not that orderly to me.

Kubo's pace is slow. But his work is best read in rapid succession, not in a weekly manner. It should not be judged by chapters, rather by the whole.

Besides, he drops enough hints for the answers to be figured out before he reveals it all.

Zan, there's self-derail here, you can turn off censoring so it can be visible just to that person. Or that could be sarcasim.

However, Bleach seemed too confusing with all these fights going on at once, I've only seen the first, thought it was okay.

If Yammy was still number 10 it would have been more interesting, seeing Rukia defeated Aaroniero with not a small amount of plot armor, Renji was powerless against Szayel and Chad...huh, is Chad. Just those three against a liberated 10 Yammy with some quirk would have been an interesting battle. Now it's up to plot armor or the rest of characters stuck in Hueco Mundo to save the day again.

Each of them already got their chance to shine against the Exequias and Espadas. I don't see why you wouldn't welcome such a nice opportunity for Unohana to long-awaitedly 'save the day.'

This is more less the way for alot of series, heck, I wouldn't be surprised if people only wait for volume publications (i'm doing this for FMA and D.Gray Man and enjoying it very much)

17-20 pages is never enough at times.

meh, could have guessed Halibel would have a shark theme, but didn't think much about it. The Shinigami commander (forgot his name) would probably beat all of them in the end just as easily as that monster thing the chimera sisters made.

Or, Hitsugaya, Soi Fon, and Shunsui would pull through. After all, two out of three haven't used bankai. Would have been badass if Zaraki was there though.

http://www.onemanga.com/Bleach/355/18/

That's his [chameleon sting]ing sword arm falling off, and if you need any more proof that Shiro's screwed, you see the middle of the panel where his sword meets his Captain's Jacket? That's his belt. His torso.

Sometimes what Anon says is true

Quote
Bleach: 38 volumes, 8 years running.
Naruto: 45 volumes, 10 years running.
One Piece: 53 volumes, 12 years running.

I don't much care which you think is better. I would, however, like to hear your guesses as to how much longer each will last.

Bleach - Yamamoto announced that "the final battle will take place this winter!" That was THREE YEARS AGO. And they're still on the same damn arc. Bleach has about 30 chapters worth of story left which will be stretched out over 300 more chapters. Six years.

Naruto - Kishimoto seems like he's bringing things to a climax. Of course it's hard to tell with him, he might pull some new twist out of his ass like THIRD HOKAGE IS ALIVE AND WAS THE TRUE EVIL ALL ALONG LOLOLOLOL. Also, the show is still very popular, so his publishers will make him keep it going for at least 5 years.

One Piece: It took them ten years to hit the halfway point. That was about a year ago. But Oda is bad at estimating how long it'll take for a story arc to conclude, so give it 11 years. Which will be awesome.

See what's [tornado fang]'d up here is Hitsu should totally still be outclassed by Halibel, bunshin or not, but at the same time he has the potential to win this, barring popularity which he has in spades, and plotkai which is tied to popularity. :/

Yes, I'd say so.

I predict Stark appearance after release doesn't change much. maybe just a mask and open shirt.
Title: Re: Bleach (Manga Discussion Mainly)
Post by: Jericho on May 02, 2009, 01:52:02 AM
Vasto Lordes lived up to their hype when Ulquiorra proved that Vaizard Ichi with the numerous powerups he got was not going to get the better of him in his base form ever. That and every one of their releases thus far have been some of Kubo's best art in the series to date. Hollogo however makes me wonder exactly how much more powerful high tier VLs are and if there is any true ceiling limit for them.

Yes, I'd say so.

Regular hollow Vasto Lordes have a clear cut limit, that is why Aizen needs the orb; to break the limit of a hollow and a shinigami by merger. Ichigo's hollow on the other hand it's a Vizard with the hollow side having won over, not a transformation to a regular hollow, that is why there's no theoretical limit.

Of course, Ichigo's recent transformation is odd either way. He's attained a form greater that what all the other Vizard are capable of. When they became Vizards, it was through Aizen's prototype. Urahara using the real thing proved to be a failure.... it didn't work. It appears not even the orb could completely break the boundary of shinigami - hollow. The orb only seemed to initiate their battles against their inner hollow to the point that they could time them. Ichigo needed neither Aizen's prototype, nor the real thing. Like he is a true shinigami, he is also a vizard from birth.

I miss Shikais that were useful. And actual swordsmanship. I also miss Demon Arts. The potential for awesome brainiac fights is there, why no one capitalizes on that aspect instead of going over 900 is beyond me.

[spoiler=Latest Chapter Spoiler]TL;DR - HARRIBEL DIES, HITSU HATERS CRY. D:
Quote
Here is sheetz translation at FLOL

Posted by 69ruma

スターク達戦闘。構え無しでセロを放つスターク。
First it's Stark's fight. He casually fires a cero.
避ける享楽。スターク上空の異常に気づいて見上げる。
Shunsui avoids it. Stark notices something strange in the sky above and looks up.
非番谷に移る。
Switch to Hitsugaya.
天相従臨時(てんそうじゅうりん)という氷輪丸の基本能力。
Tensoujuurin is the name of Hyourinmaru's fundamental ability.
力が未熟なので卍解状態で御しきる自信がなかったらしい。(巻き込んで殺さねえ自信がねえとい う過去の台詞 が回想される。)
The power is immature, so he doesn't have confidence in his ability to control it in his bankai state. (There's a flashback where he says something to that effect.)
氷華半分散ってたお陰で杞憂に終わったらしい。
Not sure what he's talking about here.
名を聞く非番谷。ハリベルの名前はティア・ハリベル。
Hitsugaya asks her name. It's Tia Harribel.
そして氷天百華葬を放つ非番谷。
Hitsugaya fires his ultimate attack (Ice Heaven Hundred Flower Interment, or something like that)
空から雪が降ってきてイルビエンドで溶かそうとするが触れた瞬間に氷の花が咲く。
Snow falls from the sky, and Harribel tries to use Irubiendo to melt it, but the instant it touches Ice flowers start to bloom.
どんどん体に氷の花が咲き、花で埋め尽くされ氷づけになる。
The flowers continue to bloom on her body and she gets covered in ice.
非番谷曰く百の花が咲き終わる頃には命は尽きているらしいのでこれで終わりか?
Hitsugaya declares that when the flowers finish blooming her life will be extinguished. The end?
一方レスピラから逃げるデブ。助けてーと声を上げたところで、砕蜂の準備ができたらしく卍解と 唱えて次週へ 。
Then it's Oomaeda running from Barragan. Just when he cries for help Soi Fon calls out "Bankai!". Until next week.

COLOR PAGE IS ISHIDA

Wonderweiss with the huge thing that was with Aizen before)
Wonderweiss attacks Ukitake. Don! "Impossible..." (WW's hand tore through Uki's back)

Shunsui, after seeing, slashes at WW, but at that time, Stark shoots him in the back.

The two of them (Uki and Shunsui) falls to the ground, and Stark looks on.

"Sorry. Seems like Aizen-sama wants to hurry this up, sending out Wonderweiss. Nothing personal..."

Wonderweiss cries a very powerful battle cry. (OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!)

From inside the ice mountain, Harribel is seen with a mean/scary look on her face.

And the form of Barragan is seen standing amongst the smoke. Soifon looks shocked (Cez: I think)

Kira calls to Koma, "Leave this to me, please go, Taichou"
In the next second, the fire prison disappeared in the blink of eye, and the 3 people are there.

Kira: "Is it over...?"

Aizen steps forward

"Wait! Long time no see, Aizen!"

Up until recently Bleach used to go straight above my head. But I decided to give it a try and started at the very first chapter. This hopefully picks up quickly, because so far it's rather boring. And the artstyle hasn't solidified yet. I'll keep on going.
Title: Re: Bleach (Manga Discussion Mainly)
Post by: Jericho on July 13, 2009, 01:05:46 AM
Hmm, what to say to kinda encourage you onward.. Let's see:

- The style does change with more time. Kubo started off simple enough, but as the time passed a lot of his skill in character design began to shine. (In before "Where are the backgrounds?")

- Story wise, Bleach has good concepts, decent combat, a good bit of humor and moments of complete brilliance which are usually married to lots of buildup and padding. A lot of people give it flak for the pacing with good reason, but the thing with Bleach and these periods of nothing is that for every moment like this, there are individual chapters and outcomes that come seemingly out of the blue and kick massive ass.

- Since you're reading nonstop for upwards of 365 chapters though, you get the best of everything without the agonizing week long waits to only hear that character A did dramatic pose B and used speech of justice #1B, then conclusion.

- Oh, also, please keep in mind that the manga tends to showcase a set group of the entire potential cast, and a lot of the characters who get sidelined are almost always the more awesome seeming ones. Especially Urahara. I fukken love Urahara. XD

That's all I can really say, it's a good romp once you know what to expect and temper yourself for.

Post by: Strider Xhaiden on August 08, 2009, 09:00:29 AM
Y'know, I've been thinking and I think I've figured out some of the plot-points for this "Unknown Tales" arc.

- Kenpachi wasn't present at the Sokyoku Hill when the spirits left their masters. I'm guessing he'll be important even though he doesn't know his zanpakuto's name. (Just for the record, Zaraki + Bankai = World Over)
- Judging from the episode titles, Zangetsu rebels as well. But I don't believe the "other" Ichigo is a zanpakuto spirit, and he claims that he and Zangetsu fight to become the dominant personality inside Ichigo's mind, so with the Old Man out of Ichigo's head, that leaves "Ichigo" all alone in there. Make of that what you will.

Keep in mind these are only my thoughts and will probably be mercilessly deconstructed by Zan/Jericho/Somebody at some point, but whatever.

I knew this would happen  8)


The "Zaraki not being there" thing : http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/A_New_Enemy!_The_Materialization_of_Zanpakut%C5%8D

Hollow Ichigo's comment on being two separate entities was just an offhand comment during an episode of the anime, I think, but I did get this from his character page on the Bleach Wiki.

"He also seems to respect Zangetsu's spirit to a certain extent."

That wouldn't make sense if he were Zangetsu.


I already know what you'll say: "A wiki is not a reliable source etc. etc."

Like I said, they're only my thoughts.

Hiroki:
[spoiler]The Hollow's merger with Rukia was something far less permanent than say, Metastacia with Kaien. Which is an event entirely likely to be the cause of Ichigo's powers as a Vizard, remember what Ichigo said at the end of the movie? Even if their memories vanish, their bond stays. Kaien's memories might be with Aaroniero, who absorbed Metastacia, but the heart remains somewhere else. Ichigo feels like he and Rukia might have met before their first meeting. Ichigo's Hollow powers influencing Orihime and Chad long before Urahara's Shattered Shaft trial confirm as much.

When Ichigo tried to recover her Shinigami powers, he did so to completely remove any trace of Hollow within her. You can even tell he specifically avoided use of his own Hollow's power; he used his own reiatsu instead of the Hollow's black reiatsu. Considering this Hollow was a fairly weak one, and not specifically designed for the purpose of Hollowfication, I doubt it left any lasting impression on Rukia.[/spoiler]

Only the main character of a shonen can defeat the big bad? What a plot twist!

Honestly, this is how I want things to go:

Aizen and Ichigo fight -> Ichigo actually starts getting the upperhand in the battle, but Aizen manages to get Ichigo to see his shikai-> When all seems lost, Ichigo learns to control his new mask and beats-> Aizen goes bankai and completely overpowers Ichigo and everyone else, but when he's about to deliver the finishing blow, Orihime appears and rejects Aizens existence.

I want to see Orihime do something like that at least once >_>

It's funny though how you only notice things like this after you get older and start discerning things.

I see only two plausible outcomes:

1) Aizen DID get stabbed, shrugs it off as just a flesh wound and continues curbstomping everyone.

2) Not the real Aizen, the one they actually stabbed was Ichigo/Yamamoto disguised as Aizen because of Kyouka Suigetsu.

Almost unlikely outcome but the one I would prefer:

3) Aizen did get hurt and goes Bankai to get this over with.

Still doesn't answer the question that the entire damn time it seemed too easy. The guy shrugged off several Bankai's at once before, and there hasn't been any real growth that made a huge leap in power, and yet NO ONE thought that all of a sudden Aizen being frozen and helpless was suspicious? Not only that, Ichigo could have easily kicked them in the head, he IS the only one who can fight on a Captain level and also NOT affected by Aizen's power. Granted, maybe only the healing squad leader knew about it, Ichigo could have still done SOMETHING physical if all his shouting wasn't being heard. Apparently Aizen's ability extends to making everyone around him dumber than a fish.

And risk getting slashed/stabbed/frozen when getting in the way of 3 captains and Vizard?

Feeling is also a sense you know, if you don't feel you're getting hit/slashed/stabbed/whatever you're not gonna pay much attention to it.

Still doesn't excuse them for being stupid. Like I said, if the two strongest fighters (at the time) were deflected by a finger, does anyone honestly think that three weaker ones and a Vizard would be able to do anything? Ok, maybe hold him off, but did no one think that he'd easily break out of the ice? Not only that, but the whole 'controlling the senses' thing is essentially god-modding, and also fairly unexplained. Does he have to have perfect concentration, is it just an area that's affected, does he mind-control everyone at the same time (if so, what's the limit), and at what point does his power 'wear-off'? Has he secretly killed off Yamamoto and just dicking around with people now? There's also the fact that his Bankai hasn't been revealed, which means that as soon as someone, be it Ichigo or whoever, has a legitimate edge in battle against him, he'll use it and just reset the 'status-quo'. There's going to be ass-pull after ass-pull with him, and by the time he IS killed off, no one will give a damn and instead just say "Finally!".

Seriously, I doubt Ichigo's New Hollow Form would be able to take on Aizen, and that thing [sonic slicer]-slapped Uliquorra after he took everything Ichigo had before and didn't get a scratch.

Aizen contemplates the attack as one of his arms is charred.

Ichigo's attack connects, but Aizen has embedded the hyougoku in himself and is completely unaffected.

He begins to talk about Ichigo's battles up till now.

The fight against GJ where he mastered his mask, and against Ulq where new powers were awakened.

Kurosaki Ichigo-kun, I've been manipulating you in the palm of my hand.

Of course we all saw it coming from a mile away, Aizen did too. The entire point of "Deicide" was this moment, using the "God killing spear".

This chapter isn't about the fact that it happened, but rather how it happened, and it was priceless and epic.

I didn´t know he was capable of showing emotions
Title: Re: Bleach (Manga Discussion Mainly)
Post by: Rayl on September 02, 2010, 06:54:58 PM
All villains like that eventually break down and start overloading on emotions after a while or at least in my experience they have.

I just find it amusing that while Aizen's cool exterior has degraded so has his status as a credible villain dropped as quickly (Granted it was dropping over time ANYWAY but now? Sharp nose dive)

But right now it's turning out to be a curb stomp in Ichigo's favour... something's gotta change to make this battle interesting and i think it's about time Aizen busted out his shikai, if he can still use it that is.
Title: Re: Bleach (Manga Discussion Mainly)
Post by: Blackhook on September 02, 2010, 07:04:12 PM
Oh right...he still has bankai doesn´t he?
Title: Re: Bleach (Manga Discussion Mainly)
Post by: Rayl on September 02, 2010, 07:13:58 PM
I'd say Aizen is too arrogant regarding his shikai abilities to even bother attempting to obtain bankai, but you know he has it anyway because there's no way in hell he can just "Lawl i'm only using 50% of my power" out of this fight.

Your sig and avatar are awesome.

Ichigo has already touched Aizen's Zanpakuto. The hypnosis will have no effect on him.

I'm quite enjoying Ichigo trolling Aizen on Gin's behalf; especially since Aizen's trolled everyone else since day 1. Nice to see the Aizensmirk finally wiped off his face.

Post by: Rayl on September 09, 2010, 08:03:41 PM
@Storywriter: Thank you very much :3 I must admit i kinda like it too despite my nitpicks of it.

Yeah i kinda liked this chapter only because Ichigo did the Aizen smirk himself and basically asks why he keeps running away from him. Hell i even coloured the panel where Ichigo says "Is that all you got?" simply because it was badass.

However i don't like where this is going, it's like Kubo has finally just admitted through his story telling that he couldn't come up with a credible way to actually beat Aizen so he just decided to rewrite what it means to have your character's personality be derailed.

I've never really been much into Bleach and joined much too late, but if you still care about my opinion:

Simply having Ichigo pounding the everliving [parasitic bomb] out of Aizen while he desperately morphs like a blob to find a shape that somehow manages to scratch Ichigo, only to be utterly humiliated and defeated would be the best way out of the whole thing. There's no more room for further convolutions. Really.

Kubo is a troll. An annoying troll that loves to reuse plot elements, i know it's hard but please remember there was a character way back yonder that some of us might have cared about called Ishida, remember how that "Final transformation that will make me lose my powers" thing panned out?

Keep in mind two things:

Isshin knows of the "Final Getsuga", and has likely used it before.

Urahara asks Isshin if he has "regained his powers" shortly before he trashes his Wife's Hollow-Murderer.


I'm willing to bet it's not a permanent loss, it just uses so much power that it takes a hella long time to recharge.

I don't mind these one or two episodes of filler. But we should continue with the arc so that next time, we can actually write filler stories into the actual timeline. Ever since Diamonddust Rebellion and the Amagai arc, fillers have been taking place completely outside of the timeline, yet somehow still acknowledging the events that preceded them in the anime.
