Yes, that was where I first realize the "names for albums" thing.

>>43793
I just try to remember chapter numbers. It gets easier the more you do it, plus it helps you remember the order of events and such.

I dunno, guys, I find there's usually some sort of logic behind Kubo's chapter names. It's insane troll logic, but it's enough for me to connect them to the content or the chapter.

Would you read, /jam/?

WOULD YOU?

>>43817
Then how does Eagle Without Wings 2 relate to Eagle Without Wings 1, not extreme battle master mix?

>>43839
There were only two "Eagle Without Wings" chapter:
1. Eagle Without Wings
2. Eagle Without Wings 2 [EXTREME BATTLEMASTER MIX]

Are you sure you're not thinking of "WINGED EAGLES" and "Winged Eagles 2" (yes, that capitalization is accurate)?

>>43844
But there's like 50 chapters between them and their titular sequels.
The link is?

>>43845
It's actually more like exactly 150 chapters (238/388 and 239/389).

I admit that I don't understand what the relation is. All of them are a reference to Aizen's statement to Hitsugaya that "An blade wielded without hatred is like an eagle without wings." but the only time that was relevant was in Winged Eagles 2 where Hitsugaya mentions that.

The first Eagle Without Wings/Winged Eagles didn't have Aizen in it and all Hitsugaya did was wake Ichigo. It was about how the Soul Society wouldn't help rescue Orihime because they thought she turned traitor, Tatsuki calling out Ichigo for excluding her for everything including what's happened to Orihime, and Urahara giving Ishida, Chad, and Ichigo a way into Hueco Mundo.

The second set was Ichigo's surprise attack failing because of Aizen's shield but then everyone decides to help Ichigo and gang up on Aizen.

Maybe it's something to do with how both chapters had the characters go from being victimized to doing something about it? Maybe the first one's referencing how Ichigo now had a personal reason to want to fight Aizen himself? It's anyone's guess.

Compared to the manga, this episode was really weird.
It's chapters 366-358, but only the Hitsugaya vs Harribel parts, and including Starrk's Cero from the beginning of 359 (albeit with a lot more padding).

>>44034
Although I called padding from the healing station it's been used in a much more interesting way than I had expected.
Basically, the whole episode plays up the "Sacrifice" aspect of Harribel.

>>43756
>makes sense in the context, except for Kubo needing to check his grammar
WOLVES AINT HOWL ALONE

>>44034

My rage for the next episode is an almost palpable thing.

Are Dattebayo actually subbing any more after this one just gone? Now might be a good time for me to stop...

>>44052
this is gonna be the last one according to the sites.

So, when do we find out how Yoruichi is able to transform into a talking cat?

>>44057

Hougyokou did it.

Hot FUCK, it's pages like these that I'm still reading this goddamn trainwreck. jesus christ.

luck gandor get the fuck out of bleach and cut your hair you do not even use a sword you kill people with your own arm

>>44062
Did that train/janitor have a spinal cord?

Good to see Ichigo got over his case of Pussyitis.

>>44063
Well, it HAD one.

Not so much any more.

...hnnnnnnnnghaizen.

>>44061

So another week of who gives a shit. Also lol hyperbolic time chamber training.

>>44067
> Also lol hyperbolic time chamber training.
Actually, if you go through it right, it won't just compress time but let you travel through it.

Good god, I've been waiting years for this moment.

>>44078
Was the AGAIN? referring to his Mom?

>>44079
His mom dying was the first time, but the "again" probably refers to more than a few times.

is Bleach gonna take a break next week like One Piece is?

>>44082
Unless it was for a holiday (in which case they would assume the readers know), it would have said so at the end of the chapter.

Holy crap. Sorry for doubting you, Kubo!

>>44086
ah I Don't know what comics are published buy who in Japan I just keep track of Bleach and One Piece really.

>>44079>>44080
. . .Huh. I never thought about how Ichigo's background tied into his creeping Heroic BSOD that's been active ever since the Arrancar first showed up.
>>44088
There are two things going on atm that really baffle me.
-What the hell's gonna happen with Rangiku? Wait, I suppose she could show up in the place where Ichigo & Isshin are now. I guess the root matter is what the hell is up with Gin.
-So. . .Tatsuki and Those Two Guys are finally going to see some action. . .against god-tier Aizen?

Will the foreshadowing about his power level being weird mean they can actually stand against him for some reason?

Also, favorite moment this chapter was definitely Aizen just looking at the train thing, and clearly having one of those "Hey, I bet I could. . ." moments.

Goku is training Gohan in the hyperbolic time chamber so that he can become a super saiyan before the final battle?

Been there, done that.

Also I don't like Aizen's "new form". He just looks like a dirty hippie.

Now Unohana can save everyone without distraction.

>>44181
To be fair, this was actually set up rather well for Bleach. In the very first visit to the Precipice World, it was established that the place's time-fuckery meant that it would be great for training... were it not for the Janitor, which comes by every week to kill any foreign organisms in the place. But Aizen killed the Janitor, so...?

>>44189
That makes me feel like Aizen ALSO planned Ichigo staying there and training. He sensed from Gin that Ichigo was a disappointment, so he has a rough estimate of how much he could advance with training, so he gave him the opportunity to train before he meets up so he can EAT HIM and he'll taste better or something.

>>44193
Obviously Aizen's bankai allows him to take over someone else's body, and Aizen wants Ichigo to be in peak condition when he takes him over.

Either that or he wants Ichigo's Hollow Form to get ultra super powerful, and use the hokyouku to make Ichigo into an Arrancar AND a Vizard, go Ressurecion, and then ride him into battle like a giant dinosaur-horse.

In before Aizen saves the universe.

>>44199
Because he's the hero Gotham deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark knight.

... Wait...

>>44198
THIS would be fucking awesome. Somebody who can draw make this real

>>44198
Bleach: Fuck Subtlety.

>>44062
Aizen is like some sort of anti-super robot hero. He just kicked reason to the curb for the lulz.
...Oh god, I want to see Aizen in a super robot anime so bad right now.
When were you ever under the illusion that I couldn't turn 1% into 100%?

>>44387
. . .Aizen is Light plus Kamina?

>>44469
That's... surprisingly apropos.

So I finally got around to getting farther in the series than Volume 20, and you know, this isn't so bad so far. I mean, I really thought we were gonna see Hell next in this series, but I think Hueco Mundo's the next destination, based on what I've seen so far.

When is this supposed to start sucking?

>>44476
Yeah, that's about the same reaction I'm having.

>>44522
Your mileage may vary. I notice that the perceived decline for a shounen series always seems to correspond to the point where the reader gets caught up, rather than reading the story arc in one fell swoop. If nothing else, it's a significant factor.

But to me, Soul Society's conclusion was the peak. Bleach is still decent, sometimes great, but that was definitely the peak.

>>44522

Around the middle of Hueco Mundo. While you read, take note of the fact that Bleach is weekly.

I'm finding the padding in these episodes to be quite decent, actually.
There's still moments like flashbacks to things that happened a few minutes ago, but I think the other bits expand on the fights in an okay way.

KUBO!

YOU MOCK MY PAIN!

Calling it: Tatsuki's powerup is a magical girl transformation sequence. Complete with ribbons, a wand, a speech on justice, and partial nudity.

"In the name of--ICHIGO, STOP LAUGHING WHILE I'M TRYING TO SAVE YOU, DAMN IT."

>>44058

So talking about the Hougyoku and the fact it let the desires/wishes of those near it to be granted don't you feel that it was also the cause of the quick death of the espadas? I mean SS side wanted to destroy the enemy at all cost, sacrificing themselves if necessary but on the case of the espadas they didn't have any real motivation than "we do it cuz Aizen told us", also Aizen said he was testing it but how could he? then oh all my espadas were defeated except for #3 but since I have seen enough I don't need her anymore.

So any thoughts about it?
