Sora finds the group’s leader. It seems he knows Sora and wants him to join their fight. The OP also shows something that indicates Sora will join them.

They start fighting. The animation was good.

Sora is taunted and ends up showing his "monster" hand. Is it really from a Bijuu?

Naruto’s fight had some funny scenes. He still hasn’t realized what’s his enemy’s secret. It’s probably genjutsu. Her eyes even have some strange "ring", like

Just like Naruto had nightmares before, Sora has a vision of Naruto when he’s actually in danger and goes to help him.

Everybody ends up getting together and the robbers run away when Chiriku brings back help.

Chiriku seems to know the robber’s leader, and he seems disturbed about it, like he’s in fault. Team Kakashi has to go back to Konoha and they find a pretext to bring Sora along. Yamato has already realized they may be wanting Sora.

Bleach - Chapter -100

Filed under: Ongoing Manga / Bleach

Turn Back the Pendulum 9

bleach -100

This chapter has finally revealed some stuff but, it actually left me with more doubts.

Kyorako seems to be checking on Aizen. Is he suspecting him already? Either way, Aizen’s hypnosis is working well.

Elsewhere, they continue fighting Kensei. Lisa and Rose are getting really beaten up and Hachi finally does one really powerful spell, level 99 and no incantation. Kensei seems to be grounded for sure this time. Mashiro has probably already been delt with, since she’s weaker.

But, things are far from over. Just as they intend to remove Kensei’s mask, Hiyori transforms and attacks Shinji surprising everyone. I’m not sure if she went into Vaizard mode, where she controls her powers, or if an hollow took control. It’s probably an hollow since it takes mch time to defeat your inner hollow and take control. But, she said "Take your stinking hands off of me" instead of something like "Let me go, I’m feeling weird". So, I think she kind of wanted to attack Shinji herself.

At the same time, while everybody is still getting battle ready, everything starts becoming black, Tousen’s shikai is doing this. Tousen immediately strikes Love.

Everything has been carefully though of. The powerful captains are all falling. I hope they still have some strength left, because I think only Lisa is standing now and she’s not in a good shape.

And then, Aizen appears. The one at Soul Society is probably an illusion. I’m glad Urahara and Tessai are heading there. We’ll probably find more in the next issue.

About the transformations. Maybe Aizen has already put something in the air, or something like that, that is slowly affecting the shinigami. And maybe they are all already in the process of awakening an hollow.

This chapter confused me more, because I can’t understand what happened in the present now. I can only figure out that the shinigami will be able to escape and that Urahara and Tessai will help them get back to their own selfs. But, now that they know about Aizen, it probably means they won’t go back to Soul Society anymore. Or they would expose Aizen straight away and nothing would make sense in the future.

Aizen will probably use his illusions to put put Soul Society against them. This probably means that Aizen’s plan will stop for now. I guess he only wanted to take some captains out of the way and test his "hollowizing" abilities. But, doesn’t make that much sense. Maybe Tousen will be Captain now but, Gin still has a long way to go.

But, I still find it hard to believe that they won’t be able to warn Soul Society. So much could have been stopped..

And why didn’t Urahara ever act like he already new of this? And why didn’t he and the Vaizards sperated from each other in the real world? Was he already predicting everything that Ichigo would have to go through when he "hollowized" him?

Naruto - Chapter 402

Filed under: Ongoing Manga / Naruto

Last Words

Now, everything makes sense to Sasuke and he understands his brother’s last "words" towards him.

Sasuke cries and makes up his mind. His teammates and Madara are waiting behind him. He states his group’s new and only goal will be the complete annihilation of the Leaf.

This probably was what Madara probably wished for. Sasuke won’t follow his brother’s will and will once again chose revenge, not only for him but, for all the Uchiha.

So, is Madara finally going to put his Akatsuki plan into action and use the Bijuu to bring down all nations and create the most powerful shinobi organization? Are he and the "Hawk" going to attack Konoha together?

I think Sasuke has mistook himself, the whole village isn’t responsible. The peole who live there now, taking aside the higher ups, will only be victims in something they have no connection too.

And what happened to Kisame? It seems like the "fish" boy only has Zabusa’s sword so, does this mean Kisame is still alive?

I guess this will probably end with Naruto vs Sasuke. But, I don’t think Naruto has a chance. Not before, and certainly not now with the Mangekyo.

Some important notes. Kakashi’s mangekyo is probably really different from the normal one but, that probably has no relation to the way it looks, because judging from Sasuke, it seems everyones mangekyo is diferent. Or maybe Sasuke is just stronger, since he probably is the most gifted Uchiha ever.

Bleach - Episode 172

Kibune Goes to War!
The Violent Wind that Rages

 bleach 172

This episode was nothing special. It was focused on character development, mainly Kira and his past.

The 3rd Squad has only been doing minor missions in order to regain trust. The Captain always uses Kifune/Kibune to help him in matters and everyone gaining more trust in him than Kira.

 bleach 172

Some strange thing happens and both Kira and Kifune get trapped underground fighting Hollows.

Here we learn of Kifune’s colder side, when he disregards a shinigami’s life just because he failed fighting the hollows.

 bleach 172

Kifune must have gained that personality from some harsh situations in his past works. But, it’s kind of suspect that he openly went against Kira

We also see Kifune’s shikai. The way he used it looked rather uncool..

Who’s being this strange incidents? And what will happen now that Lurichiyo has come to Soul Society? Are the two storylines going to merge?

Naruto Shippuuden - Episode 60

Shifts and Changes of Life

 shippuuden 60

Sora doesn’t care about team work and leaves Sakura. Meanwhile, the ninja fighting Naruto has some chakra draining ability. She tries to kiss him to absorb his chakra.

Sai is trying to lose his follower.

 shippuuden 60

He manages to deceive him by using a clone and gets away. He finds Sakura and helps her defeating a giant spider.

Although Sai doesn’t know how to act in certain situations and is always experimenting. I think he a little out of character in this episode. He fled from a battle he could probably win and he’s using his paint attacks in a stupid way.

 shippuuden 60 
shippuuden 60

The girl fighting Naruto uses a lot of different chakra types. Maybe she can use the types of chakra she absorbs for a while and that’s the reason she liked Naruto, who has wind chakra, which is rare. Or maybe she’s just using genjutsu. Sora has found the leader of the robbers. It seems it was Sora they were looking for.

The animation and production was average.

Berserk - Chapter 296

Filed under: Ongoing Manga / Berserk

Millennium Falcon Arc
Chapter of Falconia
Thundering Heavens

berserk 296

The latest chapter has finally been released.

Guts and his friends are still living peacfully in the boat but, they too can feel the presence of Ganishka. He’s really enormous. It’s hard to believe that someone will be able to defeat him. People’s first impression is that they are witnessing a god.

The Emperor starts walking and getting a better feel of his body. Hundreds of people are being smashed by his footsteps.

The pope states that there’s no reason for concern. The Hawk of Light shall destroy all evil.

Griffith has a serious look. I think it’s almost certain he will win and get all of the people to completely trust and obey him. But, I just don’t see how he can win lol.

berserk 296

The art has a superb level of detail again. The next chapter will also be delayed, it seems it will be out in more or less 3 weeks.

D.Gray-Man - Chapter 160

Filed under: Ongoing Manga / D.Gray-Man

The Destruction Of the Black Order Again

It’s the nurse who comes out of the door but, something is wrong. Allen and the others continue happily talking while the nurse approaches and bites Allen.

The situation is really funny. Everybody starts freaking out and trying to hold the nurse but, she manages to bite Miranda and her zombie state starts spreading.

Suddenly, half of them has already turned zombie and the rest of the order starts coming in from the door. And they are all transformed.

Lenalee and Allen use the Innocence to help the others escape.

They find refuge on a dark room. Komui is already hiding there, he’s the one who created the virus. All of the chapter is really hilarious. I think D.Gray-Man is becoming my favorite shonen for comedy, more than Full Metal Alchemist.

 

They try to catch Komui but, the robot Komui has takes care of everyone and traps them. Komui gets even more scarier when he finds Lenalee’s strange condition lol.

I think they will probably use Allen’s arm to create an antibody, since he seems to be immune.
