Favorite (no order) Captains of Bleach

The Gotei 13 are the strongest Shinigami captains to have ever lived. I mean there abilities were truly unique and well, you could say that they have become a key component in Ichigo's life. From new captains to old ones, there strength and courage have never left them. I will personally give you my top 10 favorite Shinigami captains in no particular order. Now this is my personal favorite and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. Enjoy.

1) Kenpachi Zaraki (Brute force all the way baby!)
2) Toshiro Hitsugaya (Ice)
3) Byakuya Kuchiki (Scatter flowers)
4) Shunsui Kyoraku (Games)
5) Kensei Mugurama (Wind)
6) Shinji Hirako (Reversal)
7) Sui-Feng (Instant Death)
8) Gin Ichimaru (Extension)
9) Rojuro Otoribashi (Music)
10) Aizen Sousuke (Manipulation)

I've also included the themes of their powers. The new poll is up. Don't forget to vote before 10/19/11. Have a good week and thanks for supporting my blog :)

Renji vs Jackie (Conclusion) and Hitsugaya vs Yukio (Conclusion) - Futility

First of all, these fight scenes in the manga ended too soon. I mean wow! Just one chapter and two members of the Xcution are dead. This arc is progressing rather slowly compared to the other Bleach arcs. I mean I don't hate this arc, but I mean the bad guys are dying off easily. Well it's not like there any match for the Gotei 13. Jackie could've lived, but she sacrificed herself in the end. As for Hitsugaya and Yukio fight, it was due to Yukio's carelessness that cost him dearly. Now the only remaining fights are:

1) Ichigo and Uryu vs Ginjo
2) Rukia vs Riruka
3) Byakuya vs Tsukishima
4) Ikkaku vs Moe.

Well I do hope this progresses more because right now, I find the fight scenes to be uninteresting compared to when the Gotei 13 fought the Espada. Well I'm not losing hope because after all....Bleach is still my favorite. Remember to vote on the poll if you haven't. I will put up a new poll ASAP. 

Nozomi Kujo......Disappears? Why why and why?

I haven't been on update on Bleach filler Arc anime episodes, but to be honest, I got tired of it. It's only recently that I began to put the piece together and realize what the antagonist's true objective was and to be frank, it's not  as interesting as I thought. When I saw bits and pieces of the new episode (released today), I saw Nozomi Kujo disappear right before my eyes. I said three things: WTF, Why, and Really? I mean she was cute and I had much respect for whenever she blushed around Ichigo, but now she's gone? That to me was BS because she could'be lived a normal life with Ichigo and his friends, but her life was too short as Ichigo managed to stop the antagonist's plans. I mean she was a perfect candidate for Ichigo's Harem (Orihime, Nelliel, and even the disappearing Senna from the 1st movie). Now.....that's hard to say. I loved her in terms of looks, but she was a mod soul to begin with. To be honest, her disappearing made me angry and I said out loud: BS. Well, though she's gone now, she'll remain in our hearts and in our minds. This is a spoiler for those of you who haven't watched yet, but I still prefer the manga over the anime any day. Just wanted to convey my feelings on.....*sniff sniff*  Nozomi!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Kon would say that).

Remember the new bleach manga chapter should be released tomorrow (Wednesday) and the new bleach arc (current manga arc) will start on episode 343 with new opening and ending. Remember to also vote on the poll if you haven't done so. Thank you for supporting my blog :) 

Favorite Bleach movies (In order)

All Bleach movies (4 as of now) are all good, but to be honest, I have different opinions on them. Now I've watched them all, but I want to give my honest favorites (in order) of the Bleach movies. I'll provide detail on why as well. Hope you enjoy and remember, this is my opinion only.

1) Bleach: Fade to Black
This movie in particular deals with one of my favorite characters: Rukia. Her past is revealed and not only that, she's the primary antagonist for this one. I love Rukia's and Ichigo's bond and how Ichigo is going as far as to save her (twice now). Ichigo and his friends must venture through the Soul Society to rescue Rukia from her past once again. And this is the only feature film with Kisuke Urahara having a pivotal and influential role, returning in his captain's haori and fighting for the Soul Society once more. His connection and influence on Rukia is why he had returned. Basically, it's Rukia and this movie is all about her: her past, her relationship with Ichigo, and to be honest....her cuteness (even when she turned bad....still looks cute).

2) Bleach: Diamond Dust Rebellion
This movie in particular deals with the relationship of Hitsugaya and his best friend, Kojiro. And to be honest, what interest me more than their old friendship was Hitsugaya's past and his past/friendship with his lieutenant, Rangiku Matsumoto. Now to be fair, I love this movie only because of Hitsugaya X Rangiku. Rangiku shows much concern for her captain and to be honest, I love her devotion to her captain (since she inspired him to join Gotei 13). And what's more...Ikkaku reveals his Bankai to Hitsugaya for the first time and that, to me, is kick ass.

3) Bleach: Hell Chapter
Now this movie is the only Bleach movie that just starts right away in the blink of an eye. I love Hollow Ichigo and his bad ass-ness (not a real word, but it will do) and how Ichigo deals with Yuzu, his precious sister. I've never seen him so cry so much over Yuzu and this comes to show his love, concern, and care for her well being (as well as Karin's). Of course his uncontrollable rage is what got Yuzu into that sticky situation, but nonetheless, Ichigo saved her. However, two particular things caught my attention. For those of you who haven't seen it (THIS IS A BIG SPOILER): This is the ONLY movie where Ichigo and Orihime hug (where Orihime embraces Ichigo from behind telling him to come back). I love this scene so much, but not as much as seeing the second scene, Rukia's near nakedness (covered in molten fire, but looks naked). I mean....DAMN! I can say so much about the hug scene and the near naked scene, but I'm just going to leave it at that. Good movie, but too fast paced.


4) Bleach: Memories of Nobody
First of all, I love Senna. Secondly, I loved (past tense) this movie, until I saw the other 3. I loved it for the simple reason of Ichigo and Senna. I mean....Senna fell in love with the dude and sacrificed her life as a result. I mean if Bleach was a harem, it would be Ichigo being fought over by Orihime, Nelliel, Senna, Nozomi, and possibly Tatsuki. The relationship between the two was comical and yet sweet at the same time because they've grown attached to one another to the point where Senna dies and Ichigo refuses to let her. However, though sad endings come and go, Ichigo did show his bad ass side by saving Senna from The Dark Ones. Overall, sad ending, but good story telling and I love the pair.

Favorite (no order) characters of Bleach

Bleach has a wide variety of characters, but there are only so many that you could like and not like. I'd personally like to share my top 25 favorite no-order characters of Bleach. There should be an even match of boys and girls (though I suspect there's more women than men).

6) Rukia Kuchiki
7) Toshiro Hitsugaya

Grinning InTiMiDaToR

Ginjo Kugo, at first, was introduced as a strange-threat to Ichigo, ally, and in the end....the antagonist. That, in my opinion, was no surprise since Ichigo barely knew him and most likely Kugo used him. He wanted Ichigo to unlock his fullbring so that Ginjo could steal it away from him. And what's worse is now he is fueled with Ichigo's fullbring AND is revealed to be the first substitute Shinigami. And now, it seems that both Substitute Shinigami will engage in battle (alongside Uryu who joined Ichigo). Now I must admit the name Xcution sounds pretty legit, but Ginjo's motives were what you'd call....predictable. Hopefully, the battle between Ichigo Kurosaki + Uryu Ishida and Ginjo Kugo will be a battle to remember (much like Ichigo vs Kenpachi, Ichigo vs Byakuya, Uryu vs.Mayuri, and Uryu vs Szayel). 

Remember to vote on the new poll before the deadline (7 days). 

And remember to catch the manga releases on Wednesdays (Thursday late by best) and the anime filler (Tuesdays)

Also, the new Bleach arc will begin soon...can't wait. 

Rukia vs Riruka:Girly Dilema

First off, both girls are pretty cute. Of course, though, Rukia wins by default. However, Riruka seems to be catching my eye (if only slightly). She denied all claims of ever wanting Ichigo's fullbring and when she received them, she had a pretty cute look in her eye as she held herself. In the battle, the two females engaged in combat. Comically, Rukia is surrounded by Riruka's dolls. Riruka decided whether to shoot or not and comments that the battle is just too easy. To be frank, Rukia can do so much better than that. Secondly, I would NOT be surprised if Riruka defected from Xcution to ally with Ichigo. I mean it makes so much sense. Riruka sees Ichigo (1). Riruka thinks Ichigo's cute/hot (2). Riruka explains that her fullbring allows her to mark anything she likes (like Ichigo - 3), and her unwillingness to accept Ichigo's fullbring power manifestation (4). I mean she is likely the next girl to fall for Ichigo (next to Orihime, Nel, and possibly Nozomi Kujo and Senna). Hope the girl fight progresses more in the upcoming chapters ahead.

Renji vs Jackie and Ikkaku vs Moe (Clash of Shinigami & Xcution) Pt 1

Well, to be honest, the new chapter was just ok. I mean I was looking forward to Byakuya's and Ichigo's fight with Ginjo and Tsukishima, but other fights were also in order and this time it was mainly focused on Ikkaku vs Moe (which lasted for like 2-3 pages with barely any action) and Renji vs Jackie (which Jackie has no chance whatsoever). First off, why does Moe think he can beat the crap out of Ikkaku? That's comical in my opinion. Ikkaku is one of the most bad ass characters in the series and one guy shouldn't be much of a threat since Ikkaku survived against worse (such as Kenpachi and Ichigo). Secondly, Jackie's ability kinda is lame and I mean to think she overwhelmed Renji? That's even more laughable than Ikkaku vs Moe. I mean Jackie has yet to learn that Renji survived against Aizen and lived. He's been training all this time and yet his enemy foolishly underestimated him. So now it's come to the following questions: who will win the next fights and will next week's chapter be a continuation of this one or a whole new fight (such as Rukia vs Riruka)? Well hope Bleach will progress a little more. And as for the anime, I can't wait to see the adaptation of the manga (such as Orihime's hotness and Ikumi's watermelons)!

Progression of Bleach (As of now)

First off, I'd like to apologize for taking too many hiatuses. Let's just say that I've been caught up with many things. Now, I would like to express my thoughts and opinions on the new Bleach manga as of now. Secondly, ICHIGO IS A BEAST! I mean he has his Shinigami powers back after all and what's more....he seems to be more powerful than ever. Thirdly, KENPACHI ZARAKI IS ALSO A BEAST!. I mean DAMN. For those of you who haven't read, Kenpachi killed the butler man (Kutsuzawa) with just one swing. Fourthly, Rukia is cute as hell!!!!!!!!!!!!! I mean I love her (next to Orihime). And finally, the bleach manga is progressing faster than ever and I hope to see more. Can't wait for the new releases.
