Due to popular demand, I have replaced my review of Bleach with Darkshaunz’s incredibly awesome review.

Bleach 284-286
My, what an amazing turn of events, Strawberry Face has defeated The Lion King, and just after he picks up the Dragonboobs to rescue Snow White….Edward Scissorhands joins the game! Not before shearing some of the Lion King’s vitals though!

And ladies and gentlemen, lets not forget Strongsad, who is currently wanking in the Twilight Zone waiting for his turn to swipe at Strawberry Face! Will our endeared fruit survive the chain of baddies wanting to put him on top of a Black Forest slice? Find out next week on another EXCITING installment of ChloroZzzzzzzzZzzzzz

Naruto 363-365
Lots of startling revelations in these last few chapters, especially the introduction of the last two Akatsuki member and Tobi’s real identity. Not to mention Karin’s stalker habits, and the announcement of the latest Naruto movie. I like how Itachi’s reaction is handled, which somehow managed to make him seem much more human, while at the same time retaining his mysterious aura. Despite all the questions answered though, Kishimoto just gives us more questions. Who is Uchiha Madara, really? What does Madara mean when he says “Everything will go back to as they once were… It’ll be so with the power of the sharingan, and it will be so with my, Uchiha Madara’s, power”? Knowing that Sasuke has the potential to become stronger than himself, did Itachi really kill his entire family for the reasons he stated? My personal theory is that Itachi was looking to make Sasuke strong enough to topple Madara, who seems to be the most sinister character in Naruto so far.

One Piece 464-466
Both Absalom’s and Perona’s fights are more humorous than serious, especially the last chapter of the Absalom fight. Sanji just kept going on and on about the invisible fruit, and how he spent years thinking up the various ways to use it. I enjoy watching Usopp fight, because his lack of prowess forces him to fight smartly. The mix of different types of ammunition and shells makes for some very interesting possibilities, and some hilarious moments.

Next up is Zoro vs. Brook’s zombie! It doesn’t seem to me like this fight will be as one-sided as Sanji vs. Absalom or as fun as Usopp vs. Perona, but something more traditional. I wonder what’s that fire/smoke thing surrounding Ryoma?

Bleach 283

After taking 5 shots – which Grimmjaw demonstrates to be extremely powerful – in the back, Ichigo’s mask cracks, and Grimmjaw begins to dominate the fight. Orihime tells herself that she can’t be afraid, but Vaizard Ichigo reminds her of her brother, and she fears that she has no place in this Ichigo’s heart.

Nell watches as Ichigo gets overpowered by Grimmjaw, and she’s shocked that Vaizard Ichigo could be losing, as he had previously overpowered both Ulqiorra and the Hundred. Nell cheers for Ichigo, and urges Orihime to do the same. Orihime is momentarily taken aback, and Nell asks her “Why are you scared of Ichigo?” The Ichigo who is only human, but takes on the roles of a Shinigami and Vaizard, so that he can protect others. The Ichigo who braves Hueco Mundo to save Orihime, who battles until his body is covered with scars, so that he can protect those dear to him. “Why are you scared of him? How can you not cheer him on?”

Orihime realises that Ichigo is in Hueco Mundo for the same reason that she is – so that they can protect others who can’t protect themselves. Orihime realises that her fear is unfounded, and she cheers for Ichigo. “Don’t die!” She says, “It doesn’t matter if you lose, it doesn’t matter if you don’t try so hard. So please… don’t get hurt anymore.”

Upon hearing this, Ichigo becomes filled with power and strikes back at Grimmjaw.

Thoughts

“No Ichigo you can’t die!” “You heard the lady.” *OMNISLASH BITCH*

What more can I say?

Oh and the brother thing. Completely slipped my mind until now. It must be shocking for her to see two of her most precious persons become hollows. Duly noted.

Naruto 362

Both Sasuke and Deidara are on the verge of collapse, having used up most of their chakra in the battle. They both collapse on the ground, unable to move, but Sasuke’s gaze remains unwavering in the face of possible defeat. Deidara hates that gaze, the unwavering, confident gaze of the sharingan, and how, despite the fierce battle that just took place, Sasuke doesn’t seem to care about anything other than getting information on Itachi. Deidara despises the Sharingan, and how the Uchiha brothers don’t care at all about his “art”. He decides to show off his ultimate art, a true suicide bomb, an explosion that has never been seen, one that will leave a rift in the land, and one that will gain his art unrivaled praise. He silently apologises to someone, and an explosion 10 kilometres in radius blasts up and outwards from where Deidara’s heart used to be.

Thougts

Talk talk talk *KABOOM*. Deidara’s vendatta against the sharingan is perhaps understandable. As a self-proclaimed artist, it must feel terrible to have his art completely overlooked.

One Piece 463

Luffy fights against Moria, but finds it difficult to get past his indefeatible shadow puppet.

Sanji arrives at the church and rescues Nami, but starts performing manzai with Absalom. Absalom underestimates Sanji, thinking that, as someone who was only given an animal zombie body, he can’t be too strong, but is quickly proven wrong as Sanji sends him flying with a kick. Sanji repeatedly attacks Absalom in his anger over how Absalom treated Nami and Robin on the Thousand Sunny. Additionally, it seems there’s some sort of old grudge between two.

Thougts
This arc of One Piece, at least as far as I’ve seen, feels a little different from previous arcs. Despite the fact that they’re fighting one of the Shichibukai and his subordinates, the mood is so light and the humour so ubiqutious that there is no tension at all. I’m getting the feeling that this arc is going to really highlight how strong the Straw Hats have become, as they walk all over Moria’s ship.

And damn, is Sanji kicking (literally) ass.

Bleach 282

Halbel and her officers watch Grimmjaw and Ichigo fight from a distant; as the officers banter back and forth, Halbel comments that their fear is justified. Watching an Espada fight in its released state creates a sort of primal fear, that Halbel tells her officers to treasure. She wonders to herself whether Ichigo is really human – she feels as if it’s two Espadas fighting.

Ichigo continues his fight with Grimmjaw, and Grimmjaw feels happy that Ichigo’s time with the mask has extended – he thinks that it will be boring if the mask breaks quickly like the last time they fought. Ichigo acts a little strange, and says that because it’s so boring, Grimmjaw mustn’t end his release state. The two trade blows, but Ichigo seems to be coming out on top. Ichigo dodges some projectiles attacks, but notices that it’s going to hit Orihime, and rushes over to block them with his body. His eyes meet with hers, and Orihime becomes visibly shaken.

Thoughts
Largely a battle chapter, we get to see a little more of Halbel and her minions. One thing that especially annoys me about the recent chapters of Bleach is how Kubo continuously rub the fact that Ichigo is like a Hollow in our face. Okay, we get it already, please move onto something else.

Other things of note:

Naruto 361

The battle draws to a close as Deidara uses the C4 at point blank range. He jumps away from the ballon that is filled with C4 and surrounds Sasuke, and releases a small bird into the air. Inside the balloon, Sasuke sees the C4 fill his blood stream, and quickly bursts out of the balloon using Chidori. With a last ditch attempt he rushes towards Deidara through the air, but Deidara sets off the bomb and they both fall into the forest.

Deidara falls heavily onto the ground, just in time to see the head of a snake evaporate. Just as he celebrates his victory, however, Sasuke appears behind him and hits him hard. Deidara wonders how Sasuke managed to survive, and notices that Sasuke had sent lightning element chakra into his own body. Sasuke explains that he had noticed Deidara’s bomb’s weakness – that his bombs were a earth elemental jutsu, and with Sasuke’s lightning element chakra disarms the bombs. Sasuke then explains how he tested the bombs using various incarnations of chidori, wondering whether the bombs that weren’t exploding didn’t do so because of the lightning chakra or because of Deidara’s will. Then he explains how he used the sword stabbed into the ground earlier to test the land mines, which weren’t controlled by Deidara, and confirmed the lightning jutsu nullifies the bombs. When Deidara asks how he can see the mines, Sasuke explains that his eyes allowed him to see the colour of chakra.

Thougts

More quality fighting from Kishimoto. Only two points I want to raise this week – what was that last bird that Deidara released, and how did Sasuke see the mine? I understand he can see chakra, but can he see through the ground? There has never been any indication that the Sharigan grants X-ray vision, which seems to be an ability more along the line of the Hyuga’s Byakugan.

One Piece 462

As the other three head onward to help Brook and Nami, Usopp remains to fight Perona. Not only are Perona’s depression spirits useless against Usopp, his depressing nature is so great that the spirits and Perona themselves become affected.

Meanwhilst, Brook continues to fight his zombie, but is defeated. As Ryuuma is about to cut off his afro, the ship shakes violently, and Franky and Zoro burst into the room to save Brook. Zoro sets his eyes on Ryuuma’s sword, one of the 21 excellent grade swords, and boldly declares that he’ll take the sword from Ryuuma.

The scene shifts once again, to where Absalom is trying to marry Nami. His attempt at kissing Nami fails, as the ship shook just at that moment. He finds out that the shaking is a result of Oz playing with the tiller, and sends out all his zombie generals to stop him, but they’re all wiped out by him in one move. Just as Absalom was wondering why Oz wasn’t being obedient, Sanji arrives at the church.

Thougts
It’s hard to write about One Piece – it’s very consistently good, and I feel stupid repeating the same thing week after week. One thing of note that is going to become very apparent next chapter is the strength difference between the crew members. More on that in the next post.

Bleach 281

After seeing Ichigo’s Vaizard form, Orihime is a little shaken. Ichigo apologises to her, and reassures her that he will immediately take care of the problem. Seeing Ichigo’s mask, Grimmjaw roars in laughter, saying that he had waited a long time for this moment of revenge. He releases his Zanpaktou, and lets out a terrifying roar that shocks Ichigo. Finally, the fight between Ichigo and Grimmjaw begins.

Thoughts
Transitional chapter. The only really notable thing is that Grimmjaw looks retarded in his release form. 1) What’s with the tights and 2) What’s with the long hair? It’s like an unmanly version of SSJ3 Goku, which is really disappointing. The whole slender form-factor doesn’t help either. I know he’s supposed to look like a leopard or something, but the eye shadow, the long hair and the skinny body and legs just make him look like some furry fag. I hope there’ll never be any Ichigo x Grimmjaw furry doujin… just thinking about it makes me want to puke.

Apart from that little complaint, this chapter is a pretty solid one. How Orihime will ultimately react to Vaizard Ichigo could be interesting, but it could also just be a predictable “I’m not scared and I’ll still love you forever and ever” thing, which would be disappointing. The fight is in the usual Kubo style, lots of close ups then zoom out showing the wider action, nothing particularly exciting yet. Hopefully that will change with the upcoming chapter. There hasn’t been a decent fight since Soul Society, and the last good sword fight was against Zaraki Kenpachi – everything after that were more like magicians throwing fireball at each other than anything else.

Naruto 360

Sasuke’s fight against Deidara heats up as Deidara busts out his ultimate bomb, the C4. A giant Deidara appears, but simply pops like a balloon, which Sasuke initially thinks is a dud. However, when Deidara sets off the bomb, the animals within the vicinity all fall apart into little pieces. Sasuke also falls apart. Tobi explains that the C4 is in fact a lot of super tiny microscopic bombs, which are spread throughout the area when the giant Deidara explodes. Any animal that breaths it in will be filled with the little bombs, and when they’re set off they’ll destroy the body from the inside at a cellular level.

Deidara uncovers his left eye, thanks Itachi, and screams out that it is his victory, and the victory of his art. However, he feels the Sharingan behind him, and turns around to find Sasuke in level 2 seal, who hits him with Chidori. Sasuke explains that, even though the naked eye cannot see the microscopic bombs, the Sharingan could see the chakra within them, and to him the bombs looked like a mist spreading out. He could also see that where Deidara was standing was just outside the range of the bomb, and so he could easily dodge it, and that the dying Sasuke Deidara saw was simply Sasuke’s genjutsu. Deidara however, once again thanks Itachi, and bursts out of the clay bird he was riding on. He explains that, since fighting with Itachi, he had trained up his left eye to resist genjutsu and was able to break out of Sasuke’s genjutsu immediately. “Now it’s really over!” he screams, “Have a taste of my C4!”

Thoughts
The C4 is, in the words of Tobi, a ‘terrible jutsu’. It is essentially a biological weapon, a gas bomb that you breath in, and as such is impossible to avoid. Even more terrible is that it can’t be seen with the naked eye, so unless you’re like Sasuke you can’t tell when you’re safe from it. One thing though – wouldn’t it be much smarter to covertly release the gas? I guess the problem here would be breathing it in yourself.

This chapter is a return to form for Kishimoto, that, in my opinion, rivals the level of the fights found at the height of Naruto, which I consider to be the ‘We’re-a-team-but-let’s-split-up-and-fight-1-on-1′ arc. Which brings up a question that I always ask – If anyone other than Sasuke was to fight Deidara, would they have any chance? It’s the same in the Sasuke pursuit arc – if the match ups were anything other than what was, the Konoha ninjas would probably have been wiped out quicker than you can say “Shounen Jump”.

Interesting to note that the wing that got cut off previously on Sasuke has been replaced by snakes. WHY ARE THERE MOTHERFUCKING SNAKES ON MY MOTHERFUCKING BACK?

One Piece 461

After Oz fell down, the Straw Hat Pirates are split into two groups – Luffy, Chopper and Robin heads towards the freezing room where Oz was stored and where Moria is napping, while Sanji and Usopp fell down to the bottom level, where they join Zorro and Franky. On the way to where Moria is, Luffy and co. runs into Hogback and Cindry, who tries to stop them. Chopper declares his disappointment in Hogback, and urges Luffy to go find Moria, saying he would defeat Hogback himself. Robin stays with Chopper, stopping Cindry from following Luffy. Hogback laughs when he realises that the deer is Chopper, and asks him to give up his shadow… or be killed and turned into the body of a zombie, as Sanji’s and Zoro’s zombies appear.

Meanwhilst, the other half of the Straw Hat’s crew stands in awe of Oz, who doesn’t notice them and walks off. The bridge that they originally intended to cross was destroyed by Oz’s fall, but Franky quickly rebuilds another one. Crossing the bridge, they walk into Perona’s room, and are quickly taken out by her Ghosts Ghost Fruit, all except for Usopp, who’s immune to its powers because he’s already depressive. Elsewhere, in the Thriller Bark’s church, Absalom is seconds away from stealing Nami’s sweet lips.

Thoughts
Pretty much just set up for the upcoming battles – Luffy vs Moria, Chopper and Robin vs Sanji’s and Zoro’s zombies, and Usopp vs Perona. Not much to note other than that… some really funny moments again, especially when Usopp loudly declares that he is already a depressive.

I’m going to get my wisdom teeth removed tomorrow (4th of July), so next week’s entry might come a little later, depending on how drugged up I am, or if there’s any complication with the operation. Wish me luck!

*A lie.

Bleach 278

Kind of surprised that Grimmjaw isn’t at all scared of Ulqiorra, considering how great the difference in their abilities should be. Other than that, it’s nice to see that Ulqiorra DOES display emotion, and I’m looking forward to the fight next chapter. If it gets interrupted or is ended in 5 seconds like every fight in the last 50 or so chapters of Bleach, I’m going to be PISSED.

Naruto 357

It seems that Sasuke’s greatest asset, apart from the snake summoning jutsu he inherited from Orochimaru, is his speed. As noted in the Kakkashi Gaiden, when you’re moving too fast even you yourself can’t see what’s going on, but with the Sharigan, Sasuke doesn’t have such a limit, and thus he can move much faster than most other ninjas. Also, he seems to know a lot more jutsu than Naruto does – where as Naruto is the type that decides a battle with one major, super powerful jutsu, Sasuke knows a far large variety of jutsus, like the lightning needles he threw to pin Deidara’s spiders.

Kabuto is insane, and the way Tobi acts and talks is hilarious.

One Piece 459

I wonder if Oda plans things like this? Was the whale planted there, so long ago in the story, so that he can one day have an excuse to put a new member into Luffy’s crew? It’s a very convenient plot device, after all, a whale waiting for a group of pirate who went a-adventuring on the high seas. Whatever the reason, Oda’s stories are weaved together much more skillfully than any Shounen Jump manga I’ve read – he doesn’t forget things he wrote years ago, and he uses them to his advantage when he needs. The reason why Brook wants to keep his afro is also revealed to be far less trivial than it initially appeared. Instead of wanting to do it for himself, simply as a memento of his previous life, it’s so that the whale can recognise him. How touching!

All three titles simultaneously enter into climax, as Ichigo starts his fight with Grimmjaw, Deidara shows off his C2 Dragon, and the Straw Hat Pirates (who, incidentally, do very little pirating) begin their assault on Moria’s ship. Next week is going to be awesome.

Grimmjaw sure knows how to treat his woman like a real man.

Grimmjaw takes Orihime to Ichigo, so that she can heal him. Ulqiorra goes back to his room to find Orihime missing, was told that she was kidnapped by Grimmjaw, and goes back to where Ichigo is.

Seriously Kubo? Go fuck yourself. Setting up is one thing, this is another. This whole arc in Bleach reminds me of Captain Tsubasa in its later stages. There was this one chapter, and I’m not kidding here, this one twenty page chapter that had only nineteen frames, covering probably about 15 seconds in a match. How do you have less frames than pages? I don’t fucking know but Captain Tsubasa did it. This is the same thing – trying to cram as little real content into a single chapter as possible. Artistically (in terms of how frames are arranged and how scenes are drawn, as well as how some lines are worded) Bleach is probably the best of the three shounen series I follow weekly, and several pages this week stand out. However in terms of plot progression and actually having something exciting happening, Bleach just utterly fails. I can no longer feel the excitement that I did when I wrote posts like this, and I pretty much just follow Bleach now in the hope that the Hueco Mundo arc would fucking end already and we can get back to some good old fashioned fights, instead of overpowered-in-one-second mismatches.

Naruto 356

Konoha’s search for Sasuke and Itachi continues. Sakura brushes shoulder with meganekko whose name I can never remember. Naruto’s team has a surprise meeting with Kabuto, who appears to be possess by Orochimaru. Meanwhile the Akatsuki team of Deidara and Tobi finds Sasuke and attacks him.

Yeah Kishimoto you can go fuck yourself too. Orochimaru is alive? How? How the fuck did Orochimaru, who gave up his body in trying to possess Sasuke, and was in turn possessed by Sasuke, still have a will or mind to possess Kabuto? He couldn’t possibly have tried to possess Kabuto beforehand – it’s pretty clear that Orochimaru’s jutsu only allows him occupancy of one body at a time, since it’s a transferal of his own soul. Unless he tried to withdraw his soul and stop his jutsu half-way through possessing Sasuke, his soul should’ve been destroyed by Sasuke. Spin your way out of this one, Kishimoto, and it’d better be satisfactory.

Kabuto’s whole speech is pretty pointless. It serves to show us a little of the reason behind his loyalty to Orochimaru, but I’ve long ago lost any interest in him as a character. I don’t see any purpose for his existence past the chuunin exam. Apart from the fact that he’s Orochimaru’s subordinate, and that there’s no convenient way of getting rid of him, his existence hasn’t made any impact to how the story’s played out. And now it’s like he’s possessed just because he’s there, and because someone, probably the editors at Jump, doesn’t want Orochimaru, as the primary villain for most of Naruto, to be written off so undramatically.

I wonder if we’ll see Sasuke fight the Akatsuki. I don’t want Tobi to die yet, he’s funny!

One Piece 458

Funniest scene this week – “A hot chick sword master is coming with meat!”

Franky and Robin meets up with Usopp and Chopper, and they proceed to go rescue Sanji, Zoro and Luffy. The 900th zombie refuses to obey Moria, saying that he wants to be the Pirate King, completely inheriting Luffy’s personality. Brook recalls how he originally discovered the weakness of the zombies, and how he was first chased off the island by the zombie possessing his shadow, as he couldn’t match up at all to the power of the body, as he once again faces him.. Back on the boat, Franky and the others find the three kidnapped members safe and sound. They wake them up and prepare to go rescue Nami.

It’s surprising how Oz is able to disobey Moria. I thought part of Moria’s ability is that he can force obedience on the shadows he procures? Whatever happens next, Oz will become a difficult enemy for Luffy to defeat, because of his giant state. It’s similar to Luffy being in his third gear at all time.

A interesting effect concerning the Shadow Shadow Fruit will be glimpsed in the next chapter – as the shadow’s original owner continue to grow in strength and experience, will the zombie that has his shadow grow as well? If the shadow does indeed forget everything that happens while it was with its original owner, there shouldn’t be any reason why it remains connected to the original owner.

Also, it can be seen from Brook’s recollection that a zombie is significantly stronger than the shadow’s owner. Unless Moria under-estimate Zoro like he did with Sanji, it seems a difficult battle awaits Zoro and, in particular, Luffy, who’ll be forced to fight Oz to regain his shadow.

This opens some interesting possibility in my mind. If Luffy cannot beat Oz by himself, I think it would be very fun to see some real co-operative fights or fights with a lot of strategy, instead of one person being simply stronger than another, as is the case in most shounen. Hunter x Hunter style fights in One Piece would be damn amazing.

I continue to love how Oda weaves in jokes throughout each chapter. I was laughing so hard at the final scene in this chapter I was left with a stomach ache.

The volume covers from chapter 431 to 440 instead of 441 like everyone was expecting. The first few chapters brings back the return of 2 old friends in revamped designs and upgraded skills: Coby and Helmeppo! They tell us about the next half of the Grand Line – the “New World” – where the Four Emperors are in control. It reminds me of how everyone in the East Blue was talking about how deadly and dangerous the Grand Line was compared to the Blue Seas and now we find out that the New World is an even more dangerous place than the first half of the Grand Line!

The middle chapters show the stormy meeting between two Emperors – “Whitebeard” Edward Newgate and “Red Hair” Shanks. Shanks’s entrance onto Whitebeard’s ship is probably one of my favourite scenes where his overwhelming “spirit” knocks most of Whitebeard’s crew unconscious. We also find out about the other fleet commanders, Marco of the First and Joz of the Third. The topic of discussion is on the Second Fleet Commander Ace D. Portgas who went in search of Blackbeard, and the discussion ends in an expected but yet amazing way.

The last few chapters of the volume show a fight we’ve all been waiting for – Ace vs Blackbeard!! We’ve always wanted to see his Ace would use his Mera Mera logia powers in a battle and Oda answers us with a great battle. The rest of Blackbeard’s crew is useless in this fight so it’s basically down to a battle between the two captains. Chapter 440 is such a cliffhanger way to end the volume, I really felt it should have ended on 441, the “Duel on Baneros Island”, which would been such a great ending. I guess Oda wanted to leave volume readers on a major craving for volume 46.

And as promised, here are some SBS snippets:

Strawhat’s Favourite Foods/Meals:
Luffy – MEAT
Zoro – Rice, Sea Creature Meat, Sake
Nami – Tangerines & Fruit in general
Usopp – Pike from the Autumn Islands, especially when they’re in season
Sanji – Dried Seafood, Pasta & Tea
Chopper – Chocolate & Various Sweet stuff (Cotton Candy probably)
Robin – Sandwich, Sweet Cakes & Coffee
Franky – Hamburgers, French Fries… and Cola!

=====================================

Q: With Robin’s Hana Hana Abilities, is it possible for her to bloom duplicate pairs of boobs?
Oda: Yeah, sure… it’s possible.

=====================================

Oda says that there is indeed a book that lists the name of every single fruit. However, fruits that have a corresponding picture are quite rare. Say, Gomu Gomu or Yami Yami. Thus every DF that exists is thought to be known by name, but most of their forms are unknown.

=====================================

And I hope we get to see Pandaman as a real character someday because he is just awesome.

Warning 56k! The full size image is almost 2mb.

It’s a great volume, consisting of chapters 420 to 430 and covering the final fight between Luffy and Lucci, appearance of Gear 3, the Buster Call bombardment, the battle on the Bridge of Hesitation, the escape from Enies Lobby, and a farewell to a crewmate. This volume pretty much closes the door on the CP9 story arc.
