Re: Bleach Manga Discussion [may contain spoilers]
We need more discussion on these threads. Not much discussion happening per week.
On a note I forgot to state in my review, I think Yukio's Fullbring might be my favorite. Just due to my own passion for gaming.
Shinigami coming back were definitely a highlight as well as Orihime's advance in characterization. Still hope the Fullbringers have more to offer as I like them too.
But I still don't want too much SS involvement yet. I'd like to continue with human focus a bit longer.
Re: Bleach Manga Discussion [may contain spoilers]
A new databook will be coming out. Among other things, it will apparently have the Espada without their masks as well as a side story with the Visoreds after the war.
But to the main point, the chapter is out.
Some Fullbring sparring, Orihime has a new skill [an even stronger shield than Santen Kessun, which would apparently not have stood against Ginjou's Fullbring. The twist being that this one will injure the attacker back.], and Chad is sneak-attacked by Tsukishima.
Good and interesting stuff, especially near the end. The main cast members are actually feeling like main cast.
I'm almost certain the mysterious Shinigami is Rukia.
Re: Bleach Manga Discussion [may contain spoilers]
I am finally beginning to like Orihime again after SO MANY YEARS!! Her Shinten Kesshun is a nice upgrade to her defensive power and I like that it also has an offensive back-up ability as well. I hope to see Tsubaki upgraded in the future as well since that's her main offensive power.
It's odd how she was able to block Ginjou's sword with ease. Does this mean Orihime is stronger than Ginjou?!
I expect to see Orihime getting into the action in the future. Now all of the main characters are able to hold there own. I do hope Uryu gets an upgrade too since Chad and Orihime are getting stronger.
I had a feeling we weren't gonna be seeing the Shinigami's identity in this chapter so I'm not too disappointed about that, maybe just a little disappointed though.
Overall, it was a pretty good chapter because of Orihime's development. I do hope to see the Shinigami's identity in next week's chapter and find out what Urahara and Isshin are actually doing.
Re: Bleach Manga Discussion [may contain spoilers]
This weeks chapter was my first time reading Bleach in about 5 weeks, I was so disgusted at everything that had been doing on up until that point and I felt the series was really on a downhill slide again so I decided it was time to give the manga a rest for a while. Well, I got the bug to read it again today and after having read the latest chapter I was really surprised at how good it was, I liked Orihime explaining to Ichigo about how she didn't want to be a burden on him so she made it a point to get more powerful and Chad's defiance is always fun, just a fun chapter overall. Now I am going to have to go back a bit and read what I've missed, I think I'll start at chapter 440 and just work back up the rest of the chapters until I'm caught up, it shouldn't take long since it's only 5 chapters I need to read.
Re: Bleach Manga Discussion [may contain spoilers]
Just read chapters 445-446, both were fantastic with an epic encounter between Ginjo and Tsukishima, too bad Ichigo got owned in chapter 445 though because I was hoping for an awesome 1 on 1 battle between he and Tsukishima. Still, there's lots to love about Bleach lately, which is funny because it was really going through a rough patch for a while (in my opinion) but things seemed to have picked up and are getting hot once again. I'm so glad I decided to go back and catch up on some chapters, I feel bad for having turned my back on this series (again), it won't be a mistake I make....well, for a while anyway.
Re: Bleach Manga Discussion [may contain spoilers]
Just read the latest chapter.
I found that whole dialogue scene with Orihime and Riruka pretty boring. It just seemed really unnecessary. Why can't Kubo ever come up with good interesting dialogue scenes for Orihime?!
I hope Ginjou's Fullbring can do some form of other things besides just being a regular sword. So far, the fight isn't that interesting. I'll even go so far as to admit that Jackie's fight with Ichigo was alot better than this.
And we still get nothing about the Shinigami conversing with Urahara and Isshin. I must say I am more interested in that than Ichigo's training in the PSP.
A major main heroine who's being developed scrapped? Not gonna happen.
[Well, just being a main cast member in particular]
I agree on that last point, though. Hoping it's Rukia at the end. She was my initial guess.

I hope Renji appears next chapter. This chapter was amazing especially Ichigo.

Bleach has been awesome, the art design still looks phenomenal. I like Orihimes new offensive attack.

Read the chapter.
It was mainly exposition with Orihime and Riruka. [which may have revealed just as much about Riruka as it didn't reveal.]
And then, we have the sparring going on, but wow. That end part was fairly intense. Did Ginjou just blind Ichigo?
Just read the latest chapter.

Oh well, maybe next week's chapter!
