The Two Test Subjects

Grana doesn’t seem very concerned with the ones around him, still, he feels sorry for the old man. Miroku comes to talk to him about Gregori and ask him to join him. It seems Grana, "Demon Project", destroyed Gregori himself but, not completely. Then they revived themselves and continues, creating Miroku and the others.

Miroku tries to appeal to all the bad "humanity" has done to Grana but, Grana just wants a normal life and doesn’t consider is feelings meaningless. So, Miroku tries it by force and.. Grana’s power really "unfathomable".

Really, there’s this king of psychiers walking around? No current character in the present can touch Grana. I guess Miroku will run away or end up convincing him before getting killed.

Now, lets imagine Grana in "Psyren", the future.. lol he’s already as powerful has the characters we have witnessed in the future..

Not sure what Miroku could have up his sleeve but, I doubt there’s anyway he can win, even if Junas, Dholaki, the little girl.. everyone were there. Interesting, as things aren’t going as the "past" future sugested, maybe Grana won’t join Miroku this time around. That would mean an almost sure win for Ageha’s group.

Anyway, can’t know more until the next chapter.

Words Just Don’t Like You

Lol, Ichigo understands something we didn’t and uses a little psychology on Mayuri, I think lol. He though of the possibility of Mayuri trying to trap him there, as an experiment to see what he would do. And it was true, and he made it so Mayuri has a grudge against him so he doesn’t trap him, so he can do bad stuff to him later lol, or something like that.

It’s nice every character interacting for real, wasn’t expecting this little talk between Ichigo and Mayuri.

Inside Garganta, Unohana tells Ichigo she believes he’s the only one in all the world capable of standing against Aizen. She will also inform him on his zanpakutou and stuff, not sure how much she knows, since Aizen always faked everything. So, she further explains that the condition for Aizen to use his zanpakutou’s powers is to have the user witness his chikai. And he’s the only one who hasn’t.

So, basically, Aizen just needs to make someone witness his chikai and he has won.. on top of that, he’s "ridiculously" strong. It’s not even that Ichigo can match his strengh, he’s just the only one who has a chance. But, anyway, I think Ulquiorra, with his second resurrection was maybe on the same level as the top espada and even more, and Ichigo beat that easily, he just needs to get into serious strange hollow form. I would love to see it again, it just brings despair lol.

Everyone else shows their belief in Kurosaki’s victory. Can’t wait for the face off. As for Yammi, Zaraki continues having fun, not sure they will need much more chapters on it.

Killerbee Vs Kisame

Sakura’s plan fails. She and the others go search for Sasuke themselves. Naruto and the others don’t share their new info.

Meanwhile, we can see Gaara managed to change the Kages. They aren’t obsessed with being the "better" village anymore.

Now, it’s time for Killerbee and Kisame. The Cloud Village’s awesome use of the lightning element is shown again. It seems their technique far surpasses normal Fuuton (wind element), which was supposed to be the most dangerous type of piercing attack.

Anyway, both Bee and Pathos attack Kisame. The short fight is really cool. They end with both Bee and Pathos realizing Shamehada eats their chakra. Kisame fully releases his sword and it looks.. more monstrous. It’s eaten Bijuu chakra after all.

Really liked the chapter, specially the fight. Can’t wait for it to get more serious.

Friend #1

Junas and the kid try to escape. Kagetora goes after them while Haruhiko is sent back to treat Lan. The kid is already powerful has she is, they can’t risk Riko getting to the wrong side and developing her powers.

About the dvd, it has no data now. What happened then? They have already changed the future so much that the event of the camera man filming the declaration didn’t happen. Whether it is because he died before shooting, the declaration didn’t happen, whatever, they have no idea now of what the future holds. But, it’s probably better than before.

Junas can’t shake Kagetora off and decides to try and defeat him. Because of that, he won’t be able to help Miroku with something. It seems Miroku needs to kill someone important, so he can meet some other one during the declaration of war, I think.. He’s not even sure he can do it so, he must be really powerful.

And so he meets Gregory’s first test subject, Grana. This is really interesting and unexpected. I had never though about it but, I would just guess Grana would be with Miroku from the start, like Junas.

So, whatever happens, somehow, they will remain on the same side. Not sure what it means that in the future Grana is the 1st Start Comander and Miroku is, well I don’t what he is. So, I’m not sure of what will happen, can’t wait.

By the way, anyone else got reminded of 20th Century Boy’s Friend?

Devil, Devil, Devil, Devil

"Honestly, do ya get beat half to death every damn place you go?" lol Ichigo, the "half-shinigami", will serve as text subject for Mayuri’s new use of the Garganta.

So, Byakuya and Kenpachi will be taking Ichigo’s fight. Kenpachi is looking cool and doesn’t seem to be having much trouble dealing with Yammi but, I doubt that’s all Yammi has.

Anyway, they convince Ichigo to go save his town. He’s going with Unohana but, Inoue is the one really needed. Not sure Unohana can save Hiyori.

Mayuri was really funny, coming second to Kenpachi of course lol. Every character was awesome in dialog in this chapter.

Sakura’s Confession

So, this chapter’s not about the Raikage’s brother fight yet. Rather, Naruto’s friends have arrived and Sakura is going to say the so important thing to release Naruto. Basically, she confesses her love for him but, right now, it doesn’t really make much sense and Naruto see’s it too. Not sure why Sakura needed to lie about that to get him to break his promise. Still, Naruto acts really cool. Sakura is looking bad right now.

Meanwhile Danzou, Fuu and Torune continue escaping. Ao is still following them. They manage to get him with a strange and really bad jutsu. They now have his body and removing eyes won’t probably do him any good. At least he won’t have to suffer through it. I hope he got something up his sleeve.

Still at the meeting, the alliance is finally formed, not including Konoha for now, and the Kazekage is selected as the leader.

Nice chapter, I liked hearing Naruto say that.

The Gate Is Opened

Fuu is dead, Bradley tries to take Ling and himself down but, with the soldiers and Lan Fan’s help, they manage to save him. Ling becomes really freaked out, he offers his stone’s powers to anyone there who can use it to save Fuu and Buccaneer but, nobody can. Before dying, Buccaneer asks Ling to help protect the entrance, as his troops can’t fight any longer. He asks Greed to give him all his power and proceeds to killing everyone. Buccaneer then dies peacefully.

Meanwhile, Ed, Al and Izumi are brought before "Father". He has won against Honheime. He counts 4 sacrifices so I guess that means Honheime is one too. But, he needs five. Elsewhere, the mad doctor is forcing Mustang to open the gate but, Mustang knows it’s impossible for it to work and even so, he wouldn’t do it. Then, they kill Riza.. I’m not sure she’s dead but, if not, she’ll die with the next couple seconds. No idea what Mustang will do.

Another huge problem, they’ve been very casually yelling for Al to wake up.. Al has never been non waked up, since he become a soul in an armor. He’s not there, could he have been finally rejected from the armor? Could he gotten trapped in his way, he will maybe be able to find his body..

Anyway, things are bad right now, can’t wait for the next one.

Demon

Junas uses a super powerful attack. Kagetora’s strategy to winning includes letting the attack hit him but, there’s no guarantee he can survive. Haruhiko ends up interrupting them. His surprise shock on Junas leaves him defenseless and Kagetora takes the chance. Now Junas is probably defeated but, they don’t have time to check.

The little girl interferes in the fight with a giant "demon". This huge monster catches Junas and swipes a big part of the scenery away, along with Kagetora and Haruhiko.

Nice chapter, really liked Kagetora’s attitude lol. I also liked the monster’s design a lot. Reminds me of Inui’s attack. I really like this author’s take on weird monsters.
