Bleach Chapter 461 – Come Around Our Turn

Bob Ichimaru — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 17:21:12 +0000

Hey folks, ssj’s laptop is suffering from technical problems, so I will be doing this short summary to get discussions going. A fitting title for this chapter. Ichigo pulls of one humongous Getsuga Tensho, one that Ginjo has no way of dodging. Man, I just loved Kubo’s art during those 3-4 pages, especially this one:

In the immediate aftermath, Toshiro tells Ichigo that the reiatsu transferred to him from the special sword Urahara gave to Rukia was infused with that of all the Captains of the 13 Divisions, and that the Commander Yamamoto gave the order to go against Shinigami laws this one time for Ichigo. Ichigo must feel pretty awesome right now after having his life being dragged through the mud these last few chapters.

But of course, Ginjo can’t be downed that easily. As the smoke clears, a transformed Ginjo appears with armor similar to that of Ichigo’s when he mastered his fullbring. Ginjo is revealed to be the first substitute shinigami assigned to Earth, but went AWOL sometime before Ichigo received his powers, it’ll be interesting to hear the full story. Undoubtedly, Ginjo is relying on the shinigami powers he claims to have taken from Ichigo, but let’s see if he’s even half the beast Ichigo is right now.

Other things:
- It’s so nice to see the Soul Society shinigamis return. I’ve missed seeing Rukia around, and her new look is very cute.
- It looks like Urahara returned to Soul Society to plead with the Commander to assist Ichigo. Shame on anybody who doubted his motives in the past, this is like the millionth time he’s come through to save Ichigo and his friends. I also hope this is the beginning of a re-newed cooperation between Urahara and Gotei 13.
- What’s Tschishima been doing this whole time, I still see him as a wild card in this fight, he’s still in control of Ichigo’s friends and the other members of Xcution.
- I wonder what would happen to the members of Xcution after all this is over. It seems to me they’ve been misled by Ginjo this whole time, but how will Soul Society judge them especially with their strict sanctions against non-shinigami beings possessing spiritual-esque powers?

Bleach Chapter 437 – Swastika Break

Bob Ichimaru — Sun, 20 Feb 2011 05:37:46 +0000

READ CHAPTER 437
I think ssj is busy this week, so I’ll throw down a quick summary of the chapter and get at least discussions going. Ichigo’s shinigami representative’s badge has activated. Ginjou explains that his badge has retained the memories of Ichigo’s previous battles, so while Ichigo has lost his powers his badge still remembers them. Ichigo refers to the swastika shape his badge forms as a ‘flange’ throughout the chapter, though I couldn’t find a reference, I would assume ‘flange’ was a type of shield/buckler used in ancient times. I found it hilarious when Ichigo tried throwing his weapon like a shuriken and have it fail on him as soon as it leaves his touch — this was definitely a jab at Naruto, especially since many fans instantly thought of the Rasen Shuriken when Ichigo activated his badge. Ichigo eventually figures out that the flange is suited for blocking blows and not slashing, but is able to release a secondary ability that unleashes a projectile similar to Getsuga Tenshou and win the fight. Mewanwhile, Orihime is visting Chad’s home again to see if he has returned but is accosted by some highschool punked named Shishigawara who wants her to die. Dun dun DUN!

Bob Ichimaru — Wed, 21 Apr 2010 03:05:21 +0000

Ichigo and Ulquiorra’s final battle properly gets underway with the two of them being more or less evenly matched. Ichigo is able to read his opponent’s movements better than he could when they first fought, and manages to wound Ulquiorra, if even slightly. Ichigo surmises that it’s either he is becoming more like a Hollow or his opponent is becoming more human, which angers Ulquiorra. Meanwhile, Chad and Renji fight a gigantic Hollow-Arrancar hybrid in the desert of Hueco Mundo, eventually claiming victory after discovering its weakness. Back in the Tower, Orihime manages to protect Ichigo from a near-lethal attack from Ulquiorra.

Here’s Bob’s rundown on 389: Winged Eagles 2
Oh, and I guess I need to add music… hmmm…something electronic this week?

- I think it’s smart for all the shinigami to gang up on Aizen, but why are they going about it one or two at a time?
- If Ichigo is the only one who hasn’t see Aizen’s shikai, then shouldn’t he be leading the charge while everyone else back him up?
- I get the feeling Aizen is just going to effortlessly beat them all and we’ll be back to 1-on-1 against Ichigo again.
- What’s Yamamamomoto doing during all this?
- Who’s keeping an eye on Gin?
- Looks like Hiyori might be saved. Unohana ain’t no Orihime but I’m sure she’ll figure something out about reattaching her lower torso.
- I don’t know much about Aizen’s abilities, but I’ve never seen that shield he used on page 6 before. Looked like Urahara’s blood mist shield.
- Page 16, boy is it ever easy to provoke Hatsugaya. Didn’t he see what happened to Hiyori a few chapters ago? I don’t think this’ll end well for him.
- I’m glad someone like Kyouraku is in the Gotei 13. Screw shinigami honor and etiquette, just stab the guy in the back while he’s not looking!
