RBT #6 - Unscathed

 Yumichika of the 11th Division has a unique ability when it comes to his Zanpaktou. Yachiru, Ikkaku, & even Captain Kenpachi are unaware of Yumichika's abilities and it is preferable that not one knows since its pretty much taboo in the 11th division. Yumichika, the 5th seat, still kicks a lot of A$$ as seen in coming out unscathed when battling Hisagi.

WBCR - Fearing something incapable of Fear (Grade A-)

Rukia's Face....you know sh!t's about to go down when Rukia is getting tired of As Nodt's Sh!t. I mean, don't forget, this is the same guy who nearly killed Byakuya and stole his Bankai in the process. Rukia won't forget an insubordination from As Nodt, even if he embodies Fear. Coincidentally, it's fitting that Rukia's first opponent be the very person who almost took away her brother. However, before we see Rukia and As Nodt come face to face, we see that Rukia & Renji planned beforehand to take down as many Stern Ritter as they can and then hide out so that they aren't outmatched or surprised-attacked. However, NaNaNa was watching Renji and sees him as prey worth fighting. But afterwards, Rukia and As Nodt's confrontation ensues and as expected, As Nodt thinks he has the lead. However, Rukia finishes the chapter with the line - "Perhaps 'fear' to you is something that is not capable of 'fear?'" That line pretty much states that As Nodt may fear Rukia not having fear or, to put it, As Nodt fears someone incapable of fear. And that sums up the chapter pretty much. I like this chapter because Rukia's confidence has gone up and you know that she is capable of great feats. I also cam interested in seeing Renji vs. NaNaNa, who will reign victorious? All I know is that sh!t is about to go down. The MEME I use to sum up each Chapter Grade isn't working, but this week's Chapter, though short, is a A-. Until then, ya'll stay classy now. (Sorry the Meme + Grade were posted).

RBT #5 - Ally or Enemy? (Fade to Black Clip)

 Remember this scene in the 3rd Bleach film? It pretty much is Ichigo against the whole Seireitei. He has to pretty much remind everyone who he is and that nobody F's with him. He's an ally and friend, but he'll have to work at it again to convince them of his camaraderie and of Rukia's existence.

Seraphim vs. Sui-Feng (Kunoichi Fight)

VS.

It's been quite a long time since I posted any Fight Night post. Not only have I been lazy, but I've been having trouble figuring out who is a perfect match for one another. And hey, this matchup came to mind - two skilled women who pretty much are Ninjas. They're both incredibly fast, have a skill-set that is unmatched, and is friends with the main character of their respective series (Bleach & Is This A Zombie?). So let's start with Is this a Zombie's Seraphim and Bleach's very own Sui-Feng. I'll be the comparing the following: History, Strength, and Relationship to main character. 

History - Seraphim was once a proud member of the Vampire Ninja(s), but later would be considered a traitor for disobeying a order (the order to kill Eu, the very person she serves). She becomes fond of the other characters, but not much is touched upon. She's starting out cooking and pleasing Eu, but where she lacks in ethics, cooking skills, and in anything else she makes up for in strength and in music. Sui-Feng has served Yoruichi at a young age and has pretty much dedicated her life to serving her up until her timely disappearance, to which it broke Sui-Feng's respect for her former mentor, friend, and Lord. Sui-Feng's family pretty much served as a branch family under Yoruichi's surname. For years, she dedicated her life to defeating Yoruichi in hopes to surpass her upon her disappearance from Sui-Feng's life. 

Strength - Sui-Feng has mastered Shikai, Bankai, and has recently improved in Shunkou. In the past, she was no match for Yoruichi, her former master, even after years of training. However, with Yoruichi back by her side, she not only has improved Shunkou, but I think could stand on par with Yoruichi. Her Bankai is a bit slow since it's a big-ass missile, but her Shikai is much like a Bee's sting. However, in this case, the first sting leaves a mark and the 2nd eliminates her opponents for good. She truly is a deadly opponent. Seraphim only knows 1 move - Tsubamegaeshi Sword Style, which pretty much conjures up a buncha leaves and it becomes her means of offense and defense. And...that's it. She can teleport and whatnot, but there's one thing other than her own style that stands out - her music. Her skills in playing the violin (if I recall) were strong enough to subdue the final fight in Is This a Zombie Season 1. That definitely has some mentioning, but is it relevant, could/could not be. 

Relationship to Main Character - Sui-Feng is aware of Ichigo's friendship to Yoruichi and is on good terms with him. Seraphim, on the other hand, calls Ayumu bad names, beats him up, and will do whatever it takes to have Eu notice her over him. Later on, however, Seraphim comes to sorta respect Ayumu's power and even developing a little crush on him.

Verdict - As much as I love Seraphim's shenanigans, she only does know 1 move, but it's strong enough to be both a offensive and defensive mechanism. Sui-Feng has more variety, has trained more, and is a respected Captain of the Gotei 13. My decision still stands. I hope you enjoyed this week's long-awaited Fight Night Monday and until then, you all stay classy now. 

RBT #4 - The Watermelon of Friendship

 Pretty damn cheesy title I know, but this clip showcases the ongoing friendship and affinity that Captain Hitsugaya and Lieutenant Momo Hinamori have that can't be broken so easily since Hitsugaya was young. Though both joined the Gotei 13 eventually at different times, both ended up reuniting and still closer than ever and through the good and bad, they always end up knowing that they will always be close there for one another.

WBCR - His Majesty's Origin (Grade A)

A blind, deaf, mute, and immobile child once was His Majesty, but that didn't stop him from surviving. The child overheard the name of God being praised by people and made that his name as well, Yhwach. Despite James' death, it doesn't stun his Majesty one bit because he believes that waging war has purpose, meaning, and makes him stronger. What sets Yhwach apart from others is his ability to bestow portions of his soul unto people. And what truly makes it interesting are the initials, which bestow significant portion of his soul on an individual's souls. Yhwach is connected and bound to all Quincy's, but this somehow upsets Uryu. Yhwach is God and Uryu, whether he likes it or not, has drunk His Majesty's very blood, infusing Yhwach and Uryu. So it's safe to say that Yhwach is powerful only when bestowing portions of his power unto others, bringing ruination and destruction to everyone, and waging war. Though he started out weak and powerless, he eventually grew to be a wise, powerful, and dangerous man bent on making his world a paradise of strife and chaos. I love this chapter because, of course, it went in-depth on our villain. His backstory is interesting because it shows the progression of how he was able to become stronger and feel empowered by his gifts. Take Aizen for example, the only backstory we got out of him was that he was the former Lieutenant of Shinji Hirako and has since been plotting to steal the Hogyoku for many years until his inevitable defection and arrest. Needless to say Yhwach is far beyond powerful....he is the one who created a species that is said to be the Shinigami's rival and enemy. So where will it go? What of the other fights? Whose alive? Whose confirmed dead? All we know is war has torn apart the Soul Society and it has yet to come to a halt. This week's chapter is an A. Thanks so much for reading the WBCR and as always, you stay classy!

RBT #3 - Ichigo's Resolve

Upon meeting Ichigo, Rukia never would've expected a normal human being to break free from her Kido, but Ichigo is a special case. His unshaken resolve to save his sisters is a testament to how strong he's become and how something as simple as Kido won't stop him. Ichigo truly is a special being.

RBT #2 - Shoot to kill, Shinso

One of the first opponents Ichigo meets in the Soul Society is former 3rd Division Captain and Aizen's former right-hand man, Ichimaru Gin. Ichigo wasn't shaken by Gin's appearance, but that soon changed when Gin released his Zanpaktou. As a result, Ichigo and his friends had to resort to other methods to enter the Seireitei. And this is just the start of our hero's journey in rescuing Rukia.

RBTs (Random Bleach Thoughts)

So I was thinking morning about adding a mini-segment I'd like to call Random Bleach Thoughts (RBTs). These are moments in Bleach that are brief, but surprisingly leave an impact on the viewers. These will be very brief because the picture or clip describes it all. This is what you'd call a Throwback, but there is 1 way to differentiate between Throwbacks &  RBTs

Throwbacks - Specific moments in Bleach that are memorable

RBTs - Sporadic (Random) moments in Bleach that are memorable

So without further ado, I'd like to present to you the 1st RBT. These can range from pictures to clips with incredibly short descriptions. Please feel free to leave a comment on the picture/clip. All I have to say for this clip is 3 words: In the A$$. I mean it's the 25 second fated meeting between Ichigo and Rukia, where our story began. With every story, there is always a fated meeting and the buildup to what will be a potentially good story.

2014 SHOUT-OUT + WBCR - About time! (Grade A-)

It's been awhile ladies and gentlemen. A new year for all and a new year of Bleach. Now of course I haven't posted in weeks + school began and I haven't gotten around to plotting out this year's Bleach posts except the WBCR. Well I do apologize, but you have to consider that I'm a full-time college student and, no offense, school comes first. I'll try and post the daily WBCRS and weekly posts, but if I forget, I forget. So now that I got that out of my system, let's discuss the newly awaited Bleach chapter with emphasizes Renji's new Bankai and Mask De Masculine's death (Don't troll us Kubo, please let him stay dead). So it seems like Renji was unaware that his Zanpaktou's real name isn't the real one. The real name of his Bankai is Souou Zabimaru (translated as Twin Serpent King Tail). The one who told him this, the bald monk looking gentlemen of the Zero Division. He is famous for having named pretty much everything in the Soul Society from the name "Zanpaktou" to "Shikai" and "Bankai." Renji unleashes this power and goes berserk on Mask de Masculine and, according to this week's chapter, Mask de Masculine is no more. First off I'd like to say, welcome back Bleach and secondly, if he, for some reason, comes back, I will be pissed. Thirdly, Renji kicks major ass now and I think is formidable enough to stop the Stern Ritters alongside Rukia, Ichigo, and Byakuya (All whom were in the Royal Palace). So Imma give this Bleach's chapter a Grade A- for Renji kicking major ass + Mask De Masculine's demise (I hope you stay down cuz Rukia said knock you out). This concludes this week's chapter and until then, ya'll stay classy now. P.S. There'll be no Sunday post because of the 49er/Seahawk Football game.
