Bleach

Heh its already memeing? Also is it me or are the chapters getting really damn short now.

To gain a Darwin Award, you don't should have the ability to reproduce?

Yeah, I took Kyoraku as meaning he was trying to do more damage, but was just unable to.

Saiga: You know, it's really arrogant and trollish to automatically state a person is wrong and act like your right, just because you don't know Bleach as much as he does, did you even READ his pages?

To show examples, here a discussion were it points out how a person's personality/soul shapes their Zanpakuto:

"Renji Abarai Soo Zabimaru: Renji’s aim in his Shinigami career has, for nigh a hundred years, been to surpass one Byakuya Kuchiki. He is constantly reaching for such a goal, like the monkey reaching for the moon, waiting for his chance to actually grab it. But for the longest time, Renji has felt unable to actually take hold of said goals. His heart has thus shaped a weapon that can reach out at his target from a faraway position. But “reaching” is only ONE aspect of Zabimaru; in its initial release, it possesses blades that are positioned in a way that could allow him to actually pull his target towards himself, if he should ever figure out how. But he doesn’t realize it; he had spent so much time reaching that he never knew he could actually GRAB his target, so at first his fully released weapon could only utilize the “reaching” part as a giant snake incapable of constricting the way its initial release could. But that has changed. He has now reached the league of power he’d sought after, so he finally realizes he has already grabbed and taken his goal. This aspect is reflected in the completely released weapon, which can grasp and pull in the enemy for a lethal, close-range attack."

"Sui-Feng Jakuhō Raikōben: Sui-Feng’s personality is… well, it doesn’t really work with her chosen profession. She’s devoted to her career as a stealthy assassin, but she has an extremely blunt way of going about things (speaking her mind openly and tactlessly, punching her second-in-command in the face with small provocation, the works) and her emotions can virtually explode in circumstances like meeting her long-lost mentor. So, her soul’s weapon tries and fails to be an assassin’s weapon. Its initial release is a small dagger than kills in two hits… even though an ideal assassination should only take one, and the first hit leaves behind a blatantly-visible marking. It drops the façade when fully released, devoting all its sheer power into killing something in one hit… and she better HOPE the first one works, because it’s a [EFF]ing rocket launcher, exhausting to use, and not exactly swift. The weapon demonstrates just how impractical her personality is with respect to her job. She dislikes this weapon and prefers her Shunko… which is ironically just as visibly flashy as her Bankai."

Though Saiga couldn't have been nicer about it, I don't think you want to question his knowledge of Bleach. Especially because he doesn't feel like reader another person's (admittedly somewhat interesting in my opinion) views on it.

Because those are long winded passages. This is the first time I've more than glanced at them.

Also, maybe try posting some of your own thoughts, see how we react to those.

I don't think anyone here is really particularly interested in talking about the opinions stated by a third party. If you were to come up with your own interpretation and wish to discuss it we might do so, but we're not really interested in picking over the writings of some random fan on the internet who isn't even here. I don't think you're going to be able to change that and I wouldn't bother trying either.

Oh, seems someone beat me to it.

Also going to jump in here. The way forums here work is that if something is cared about, it'll be talked about. If not, you probably shouldn't keep trying to force it, especially if it isn't your own thoughts and ideas. Plus, if you're arguing with someone on the internet, sometimes it's just better to back away.

I'm not going to say that those of us like Saiga who have been here for years are unassailable or anything. However, we know how discussions here tend to work, and we try to agree or disagree with understanding. Looking back on his posts, I'd say Saiga seemed to be pretty fine. I'm actually curious how and why you're singling him out, especially because 3 arrows in no way actually points to his posts.

I getting kinda tired of the raise about 50 questions about the Quincy, for "Ehhh I got 7 more days to explain it... which under developed Shinigami needs spotlight now -rolls dice- Isane!"

Not like time is actually being spent on underdeveloped Shinigami anyway. Outside of Nemu, it has been a lot of the same ones.

Who was that kid talking to Shinji? Was that Momo?

Yep, that was Momo.

Ya know I wonder if anyone of us would feel sad at the deaths of any of the lieutenants like Momo or Nano cause I wouldnt feel much.

I barely recognized her without a sword sticking out of her that youthful look.

Nanao, maybe. Momo's overdue.

How bout Sajin's guy? That dude is so boring i'm honestly shocked hes still alive.

There would be no impact if he were killed off. And he was almost certainly sniped already if he even made it to this fight.

I don't think he even went with them. The last thing I remember was it being mentioned that he and dog!Komamura were rallying the people on the ground or something.

I know that. I'm saying that he has accomplished so little & is so irrelevant that I cannot fathom why the fuck hes still alive. Even Momo in her lucid, insane downright retarded blind loyalty towards Aizen accomplished far more than he ever did.

Exactly. No one cares that he's still alive but by the same token no would care if he died.

When he does start killing people off, and disappointed about Mayuri aside, I do believe he will, it should actually matter. Tetsuzaemon dying wouldn't matter to anyone.

Yeesh I dont like killing people off yet for some reason it pisses me off that most of the people are still alive despite being in situations where they should have clearly died. Prolly cause a lot of them are so boring.

I don't care either way, I just kinda wanna get back to Ichigo at this point so he can just end this fight already.

I wasn't trying to force it, it's just that since nobody responded earlier, I was unsure if anybody looked or not so I was just checking, and I was generally giving a statment on what Yhwach really was.

"Even Momo in her lucid, insane downright retarded blind loyalty towards Aizen accomplished far more than he ever did."

That only came up very briefly at the beginning of the Arrancar arc, and had no major NEGATIVE impact on the plot whatsoever, when she showed up again, she didn't do anything stupid, so I would cut her some slack. We also have yet to be shown Momo's reaction to Aizen's return.

If you REALLY want to criticize a character for having an implausible/insane, blind loyalty, that's responsible for a lot of bad stuff, try Garnet from Final Fantasy 9.

I have never played that game though it sounds interesting, heh. I more meant that even when she was still pretty irrelevant she she had something of a noticeable appearance & some slight effect namely saddening Toshiro.

Also yeah seriously can Ichigo even be called the MC anymore. I swear this seems more like an ensemble work now but the ensemble cast isnt even that interesting or at least likable.

Not too sure how Nanao is going to fare. It's pretty clear she's Kyouraku's major weakness, so something has to happen to her. Besides, what better way to demonstrate why Kyouraku's power is so dangerous when allies are around?

I didn't think about that but it makes sense. He apparently shouldn't use his bankai with allies around and right now that isn't the case.

But when she gets caught up in it who knows...

I'd guess that's why Ukitake's advice would be to let Kyouraku get on with fighting. If he does get into trouble, he needs to be isolated to go all out. If Nanao keeps insisting on creeping back to the fight, and Kyouraku doesn't know she's returned...

Well, I'd be willing to read that.

think the Double edge sword of Shunsui's Bankai is yes, Its a gameworld that can equalize any opponent... but Shunsui gives up any semblance of control, and Katen fully awakens as the game master. and Shunsui likens her less to his personal representation -cause she really isn't DUN DUN DUN- but to the fickle goddess of Fortune and Misfortune, Kishijoten/Lakshmi

"Don't look at me... I'm no longer choosing the games... nor making the rules... She is"

and unlike Shunsui Katen is looking for what would make the game the most fun... and high stakes are her idea of fun
