Bleach 396

Everything is still going according to Aizen's plans.


I'm too sexy for my shirt, too sexy for my shirt,
so sexy it hurts.

Summary:
Yamamoto sacrificed himself to use hadou #96 to burn Aizen. Aizen barely escapes, but he is confronted by Ichigo's Getsuga. Ichigo manages to would Aizen on the shoulder before Aizen can fend him off. Much to Ichigo's surprise, Aizen quickly regenerates from his injury, but he reveals that he is using the power of the Hougykou implanted on his chest instead of any hollow powers. Aizen then states that all of Ichigo's fights up until now were all according to his plan.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A somewhat slow chapter this week. Kubo got lazy again after the pretty decent chapter last week. So despite Yamamoto sacrificing himself for the hadou blast, everything is still going according to Aizen's plans. It was a slight surprise that Aizen didn't turn himself into a hollow, but the hougykou was probably a better device. I suppose we shouldn't have expecting anything else. I'm looking forward to hearing Aizen's explanation of how everything was "in his palm" all along no matter how preposterous it might turn out to be. Maybe it'll turn out that Ichigo is the key to the shinigami king's realm or something like that lol.

  1. What makes you keep reading Bleach, TJ? Just wondering.

  2. Ishhin is the Shingimi King and Ichigo getting hurt by Aizen will force Isshin out of exile. :p

    In case that does not turn out, and Ichigo does fall, I think Urahara might come to save the day. Come to think of it, We haven't seen Urahara for like what...? Four years, right?

    Uh I'll give this a shot:
    - I've read too many chapters to stop.
    - So that I have something to make fun of every week (along with Naruto)
    - I want to see how it ends (spectacularly crashes and burns).
    - Slim hope that it'll become consistently good again (but I doubt it).


    @egress63
    Hmmm, interesting theory. I'm looking forward to Aizen's outrageous explanation no matter what it is.

    Urahara and Yoruichi will show up... in two years lol.


    @Kabitzin
    Why you keep reading Bleach? The same reason why you keep reading Naruto probably.

  5. Inability to ignore sunk costs...

    Although after most chapters of Naruto I feel like I was entertained, whereas after most chapters of Bleach I feel cheated.

  6. it hurts when I read people hating Bleach now. It has so much promise during the SS arc. Kubo phailed his fans, he has himself to blame.

    But no matter how hard I tried, I can't turn my back on this one...

  7. any body notice that his eyes are black again around the iris. When he got his new mask it was white for the few times he used it.

    "Inability to ignore sunk costs"

    Don't remind me of econ class lol.


    @kluxorious
    Yeah, Bleach was pretty darn good during the SS arc, but it started to go downhill from there. Let see if it can redeem itself.

    I noticed it too. I think it means that he is using the mask normally like before. The other eyes might mean instability?

    SIX months... thats like.... sorry commercial for How to Train your Dragon came on and Im more interested in that

    Me: And I'm too sexy for your party, too sexy for your party, No way I'm disco dancing.

    We all have our reasons.


    @~Kwick~
    Yeah, that's what happens when entire chapters are regularly used to depict about 1 minute of action.
