One Piece: Boy and his Blob. If you weren't thinking, you are now.
Naruto: It's one of those "it's totally going to be interesting eventually" feelings, but at the same time nothing really happened. "Kakashi noticed something" doesn't really satisfy me as an entire chapter.

I've been thinking about this. If Kenpachi is the manifested form of Yachiru's zanpankuto that makes her the most powerful Shinigami of all time, since he's been out 24/7 for how many centuries now without any external help such as Muramasa's ability.
Anime, little happy girl in the middle of death and destruction? Makes the theory make more sense to me. Or maybe Kenpachi is the real and Yachiru is the sword. I kind of get the whole Tony Starrk type vibe thing going since very little is actually discussed or explored about either of them.

Bleach: Yea, guess this does explain some stuff. Unfortunate. Also, mangastream's title for the chapter is pretty funny.

dunno, they landed a pretty solid hit on aizentobi at the very least. I've been wanting to see him get hit by @#%^ing something for a while now Smiley: laugh

Yeah, well now I won't be able to read it any other way. Smiley: motz

Not a bad fight. I actually kind of expected it to take longer, with more back and forth but seeing Natsu and Gajeel almost entirely dominate the new guys and force them to "use their true strength" so quickly was great. Logic states that next chapter will involve the new guys dominating the whole chapter and then a final chapter with Natsu and Gajeel figuring out how to Dragon Force and eventually win, but FT has been pretty good about ditching logic in a good way and we could see it happen next chapter. Hell, we might even see them smirk and SSJ the first few pages of the next chapter. I mean, with how Erza, Cana, and Laxus being absolutely dominating it wouldn't be a surprise.

I actually only wanted to post this picture I found.

I feel like I'm watching Raven Tail getting stomped again...

Given how fast this is going, I think what's going to happen is, Dragon Force is going to let Sting and Rogue make this a draw or win...and THEN Natsu and Gajeel will figure out how to do that in the 5v5 free for all.

In lieu of jump being on break this week, I bring you a scene from toriko's after-credits:
Ohban, Vice-warden of the world's most dangerous prison, and one of the people responsible for containing Zebra (WARNING: TVTROPES LINKS. EXPAND AND MOUSE OVER AT YOUR OWN RISK) the Team Complete Monster with a Heart of Gold, in the after-credits silliness, was put through three "dress up scene" pics. In the first, he was made into a biker. The second had him dressed as a samurai. The Third? Well...

Screenshot


...I'll let him speak for it

Naruto: So apparently, Tobi is either Obito, or has his eye. I know that was one of the big theories, but given how that whole scene played out between obito and kakashi, I really can't understand the logic of it actually being him, so much as someone who took his eye...

Naruto - I don't want it to be Tobi because it completely negates my three theories. Smiley: frown

Bleach - Kenpachi still a badass. "They talked too much so I killed them. Then the guy turned into me so that was kind of tough, so I just got tougher." Smiley: inlove

One Piece - Trafalgar Law, insidious ******* and Meeting of the Novas, which I imagine is because as badass as they are the olde kings like Shank are that much more badass and an alliance is out of necessity for survival.

So was this were these a leak of next week's chapter?

I think it's this bit of theory craft:

From the Obito wiki page: "During the Fourth Shinobi World War, Tobi claimed to have acquired Obito's right eye during the battle of Kannabi Bridge, which is why Kakashi's Kamui is connected to the same dimension his own space–time ninjutsu." So Kakashi didn't just figure out where Tobi was moving (to another dimension) by amazing insight; he sensed it because Obito's eye sensed it too.

aren't they normally released early the weak after a full magazine break?

Bleach: Honestly, Kenpachi alone is enough to make suffering through this worthwhile. Smiley: laugh

It's possible, I just don't have faith in kishimoto any more.

I kind of doubted this, as I was pretty sure that books delayed by Golden Week were released the following week at the regular day but I didn't really have any way to prove it as anything other than a hunch and possibly faulty memory, but I guess this week kind of proves that. Early release, and Fairy Tail this weekend.

Also reiteration that, no matter how awful Bleach has been, currently is, and eventually gets, Kenpachi will always be badass, even if he is Yachiru's bankai. That really is the one constant that keeps me reading.

Very Late Edit: Death in Binbougami Ga is adorable. Smiley: inlove

honestly, I'm just hoping kubo doesn't actually do what it looks like he's going to do, and worf kenpachi, what with kenpachi diving headfirst into the big bad boss.

Sting's attack destroyed the floor of the arena, apparently there is a mine underneath it.

Most likely they built the arena on top of the mine so they can hide the magic siphon/celestial gate under it without anyone getting wise.

Gajeel didn't have any problem in that giant traveling castle during his introduction. Smiley: dubious

The whole "I was just letting myself get beat up so I could study you" schtick always annoys me, manga and comics.

It's been noted that Gajeel only recently developed the motion sickness associated with dragon-slayerishness. Wendy is either immune or will presumably develop it at some point in the future. Honestly, I think that the point of this is that although Sting and Rogue are quite a bit stronger, Natsu's a better tactical fighter.

It's like the smart kid in school who never studied and always waited until the day-of to do homework, and yet got all As, who gets accepted to a good university and learns that in college that ain't good enough. If you're not genius-level smart in high school, you have to actually learn good study habits at some point, and bother reading the textbook in order to make good grades The super smart kid finds himself getting Ds and Fs in college because he's out partying all night, where as the not-quite-as-smart kid hits the books once in a while and makes all As.

it's a bit cliche, but if you know how to take a hit, or make it seem like you're getting hit when you're not, it is a perfectly viable tactic in a one on one fight, so long as blades/guns aren't involved (at least, as far as RL goes), but does leave you open to underestimating your opponent. In Natsu's case, he's been thrown around be some of the strongest mages in the world, as well as monsters, and a giant mechanical dragon thing. The combination of how many fights he's been in and how sturdy he is means it's a fairly feasible idea when dealing with something unknown, such as Sting's White dragon techniques. Is it over done? yea. It didn't feel out of place in this situation, though, for me.

During the race-battle-thing, Gajeel was made aware that he's suddenly weak to transportation, and was very vocal about how he hadn't ever had a problem with it prior. Mashima made it pretty clear that either "something changed over the 7 years to cause it to affect gajeel" or "I'm retconning this, but I figured I'd make a joke since I could." As for Wendy, it could go either way, either she uses Troia to keep herself immune, or she gets subject to it as well, due to rules of funny and cute.

I don't necessarily think it's even that they're stronger. Consider that, despite being able to use it now, as he's shown previously, Natsu's yet to use any raienryu technnique. Dude's been holding back. Gajeel too. I think they both want to have fun with this fight, so they've been holding back to make sure it lasts.

Side note: I love the look on Rogue's face when Natsu and Gajeel get back up. It emphasizes that what I said about them wanting it to be a fun fight, and I'm guessing means that's a two way street, all four of them have been looking forward to this fight Smiley: laugh
