Ikkaku vs Moe: Man to man (manga) and Rukia's Goodbye (anime)

As you are well aware, the manga has progressively slowed down. The fight scenes are going back and forth and unfortunately, are ending abruptly than most usual Bleach fights. In just one chapter almost, the Xcution members are getting their A$$es kicked by the Shinigami Captains and Lieutenants. So far Moe, Jackie, Giriko, and even Yukio are out of the picture (although Moe and Yukio are still alive, Jackie and Giriko aren't). So far the only current fights are as followed:

1) Ichigo and Uryu vs Ginjo
2) Rukia vs Riruka
3) Byakuya vs Tsukishima

As well as the fights go, there is one particular one that I find to be not only funny, but very manly. That fight would take place between Ikkaku and Moe. Since Ikkaku realizes that it is futile to use his weapon against an opponent who can easily break it, they, man to man, use their fists to beat the $h*t out of each other. Not only was this hilarious, but did Moe think he could hurt Ikkaku? Sure he managed to do some damage and make Ikkaku bleed, but at the end, Ikkaku headbutted his A$$ and Moe is K.O. Ikkaku says he's the luckiest man alive, but to be fair....Moe stood no chance against Ikkaku from the start. With that said, that was probably the best fight scene as of now.

To be honest, the fight scenes aren't as appealing as they were before and aren't as exciting, but that doesn't mean I'd given up on Bleach just yet. Hopefully the manga progresses faster and the fight scenes will have more excitement and twists and turns.

As well as the manga, the anime has taken a turn for the better. The filler arc has just ended and the current arc (in the manga) is going to be broadcasted on anime websites. I am sorta excited to hear the voices, but I'm even more excited when I see:

1) Orihime's new look
2) Ikumi's watermelons
3) Rukia!!!!! (new look)

As well as the arc goes, the last filler arc ended sadly as Rukia disappeared in front of Ichigo. This is the first time to admit that Rukia was super cute in this episode since she was highly concerned for Ichigo and was well aware of his losing his Shinigami powers (and spiritual energy). It almost seems as if she doesn't want to part Ichigo and that she is afraid to lose him (maybe a hint of love possibly?). She waited for Ichigo after school and was even nervous to talk to him about the topic of losing his powers; indicating that she may have fallen for him, but this uncertain. I do hope the anime progresses more than the manga because as everyone knows, the anime expands on the fight scenes (EX: Uryu vs Yammy).

Make sure to keep on reading the manga and watching the anime. Don't forget also to vote on the new poll on what your favorite Bleach movie is. Thanks again for supporting my blog. As well as Bleach news: I also wish to pray for Steve Jobs, the creator of Apple, and for his family. May his legacy continue on...
