The Betrayal!? Ginjo's sudden backfire and Ichigo's struggle!

Well Well Well, it seems that the Bleach manga truly is....progressing unexpectedly. For those who have yet to read the recent chapter, refrain from reading this post because it will include many spoilers. So we have Ginjo, a supposed ally of Ichigo, suddenly working against Ichigo as he pierced him. So this leaves me with two questions: What will Ichigo and Uryu do now that Ginjo and Tsukishima are the supposed enemy? And the WHO THE HELL WAS THAT SHINIGAMI THAT URAHARA AND ISSHIN WERE SPEAKING WITH? So you see, the progression is in the middle - a bit slow, but still there's action. I want to know why Ginjo betrayed Ichigo. If it really is to steal Ichigo's fullbring, then I'm going to say: "Should've known!" But you know, the story does work (in a way) and we will see Ichigo (now human) encounter the dangers of his life as he has no Shinigami or Hollow powers try and survive. Till then........keep on reading the Bleach chapters and don't lose hope.

Ichigo and Negi: Protagonists of their stories

As you are well aware, I am a bleach fanatic. I like to take the time and explore other animes that are out there other than Bleach. Fans know that the top three mangas/anime series is Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece. This, however, doesn't change the fact that Bleach is still and probably will always be my favorite. I thoroughly enjoy the series since its premiere on Adult Swim years ago and the manga is just fascinating to read because of the story and the artwork by Tite Kubo. If I could, I'd shake hands with Tite Kubo. However, as the manga progresses rather slowly, some are rather losing interest. I for one say do not lose hope because we all know that Tite Kubo is setting up something far more imaginable, incredible, and thrilling for Bleach in the upcoming chapters. I would now, briefly, like to tell you my favorite series next to Bleach and that is Mahou Sensei Negima (author of Love Hina). Call it a harem or romance or comedy or magic (action) packed, it's borderline awesome in my opinion. I mean a 10 year being exploited to that many women.....how more lucky can a p.i.m.p 10 year old get (just kidding). Well, he is right now struggling to fight against the forces of evil and right now, his allies are fighting alongside him. This kinda reminds me of Ichigo, when in doubt, he always has someone to fight alongside him such as Chad, Inoue, Uryu, Renji, Rukia, etc. Hopefully, both Ichigo of Bleach and Negi of Negima will overcome their troubles, defeat the enemy, and bring peace to their worlds before havoc breaks loose.

The Unlikely Bout: Ichigo vs Chad and Orihime.

Whoa whoa whoa, in the past couple of Bleach chapters, our hero is seen fighting against his two best friends, Chad and Orihime. How did it come to this? Well for starters, Tsukishima's abilities are far more dangerous that anyone could've imagined. And as a result, his "presence" has been inputted into the lives of Ichigo's life. Ichigo now faces off against Chad and Inoue, who are overwhelmingly concerned for Ichigo and why he has turned against them (despite the fact that Ichigo is only after Tsukishima and Tsukishima's abilities made it so Ichigo has no other choice but to fight his friends). Hopefully, Tsukishima will be taken down quickly, the misunderstandings come to an end, the unknown Shinigami unveils it's self, and Ichigo can save the day and recover his lost powers.

Update on Bleach (7/21/11)

Once again, I would like to take the time and apologize for not updating my blog as I said I've had. Been many things (not going to explain them). I would right now to take the time and go about my opinion on the recent chapters of Tite Kubo's famous manga, Bleach. So it seems Ichigo is at an impasse....facing his opponent while at the same time facing off against his friends, Sado and Inoue. What's worse is in the last chapter (spoiler alert for those who have yet to read), Ginjo was impaled by Tsukishima's blade. Shat will become of Ichigo now that he's all alone? Ginjo (presumably dead or not) being impaled is severely injured and his friends have all turned against him. The last thing you see (spoiler alert again) is that Ishida was out of the hospital running off somewhere, but where? That's it for now.....hopefully bleach will progress more and unanswered questions will be answered.

The chick magnet: Ichigo Kurosaki and his many "girl friends"

Well, as I said many times, Nozomi Kujo is cute. She just announced herself as the first ever Mod Soul in existence and I was like "Say what?" To be truthful, I think our Hero, Ichigo Kurosaki, is a chick magnet. I mean think about it. Orihime loves Ichigo (Human X Human). Nel loves Ichigo (Arrancar X Human). Senna likes/has fallen for Ichigo (Shinenju/Memory Rosary X Human). And now Nozomi likes/has fallen for Ichigo (Mod Soul X Human). Damn Ichigo, he's a p-i.m.p. Well she clearly cares for Ichigo's safety and even blushed upon his sudden return. Hopefully, Nozomi's like may even turn into a possible love for our Hero. Tune in for the anime to find out more.

(This does not change me opinion on Ichigo X Orihime)

Update on Bleach

First off, I would like to apologize in advance for my month's hiatus, but here I am ready to write daily updates on Tite Kubo's famous manga publication, Bleach. So far in Tite Kubo's manga, there seems to be many things that I'd like to know and many questions left unanswered. What will become of the fate of Ichigo's friends? Who was the Shinigami who appeared before Kisuke Urahara and Isshin Kurosaki? What is the antagonist's true motives and actual power? Who knows, but we do know that Tite Kubo isn't just going to leave his fans hanging. No....knowing him, there'll be a twist to it all. As I said, I apologize in advance for not being able to update he blog. I would like to thank you for voting on the last two polls. Your contribution to my blog is very much appreciated. Since I'm starting again, first things first: I am going to update the poll votes and will update new polls later. Thanks again and be sure to check out my blog for daily updates on Bleach. 

Ichigo vs Ginjo: A battle of restoration

So far in the Bleach manga, Ginjo is shown to be sparring with Ichigo in mastering his fullbring. However, it would also seem that Ginjo is ruthless as he deliberately cut Ichigo's eyes and temporarily blinded him. He even prevented Orihime Inoue from assisting the wounded Ichigo. Despite Ichigo's efforts, it seems that the die was cast. Ginjo was beating him to a pulp and even managed to punch and impale Ichigo with ease. Ichigo's determination however was finally realized as Ginjo was threatening to kill Chad and Orihime since Ichigo did NOT consider Ginjo neither a friend or comrade. However, Ichigo went (in my opinion) berserk and managed to (somehow) unlock his fullbring thanks to Ginjo. He stabilized Ichigo's fullbrintg before it would go berserk and consume his life. So far, Ichigo has completed his fullbring and the next question is....will Ichigo ally himself with Ginjo in Xcution or does he still not entirely trust Ginjo and his gang? Hopefully, Tite Kubo will fill in the answers as the manga continues to thrive.

Progression between Ichigo and Nozomi

Nozomi Kujo has fallen for Ichigo Kurosaki. The proof is Nozomi's nervousness and turning red whenever she's near Ichigo Kurosaki. This astonishing new development in the Bleach filler arc is progressing rather quickly than I expected. Think about it....Ichigo is the prince and Nozomi is the damsel. It's likely that the damsel fell for the prince after she was saved from the beast (Kageroza and Reigai). And I just watched the latest new bleach filler arc and Nozomi is more open to Ichigo. She renewed some of Ichigo's spirit energy, is shy around him whenever he speaks, and even said to Ichigo before going off to Soul Society and I quote: "Come back" I am starting to love this new development, but this doesn't change my opinion of Ichigo X Orihime.

Ichigo X Orihime and Ichigo X Nozomi.....which will you choose?
or could it be Ichigo X Nel and Ichigo X Senna? Or to add.....Ichigo X Riruka....nah it couldn't be......or could it?

Gotei 13 Invasion Arc Opinion

So far, the new Bleach filler arc (Anime) is progressing slowly, but I'm liking the story, especially the fact that there's a little romance brewing up as Nozomi Kujo, the damsel in distress, has maybe.maybe not have fallen for our hero, Ichigo Kurosaki. It seems that the antagonist in this one is one of the 12th division's members, Inaba Kageroza. He, just like any villain, wants the complete destruction of the Soul Society and the Human World. By doing so, he has made an army of Reigai, or replicas of others with same exact abilities, but are more assertive and aggressive than their original counterparts. The question is: Are the originals enough to beat their counterparts? Can anyone be trusted? Will Nozomi Kujo fall in love with Ichigo Kurosaki? And most importantly....will this Bleach arc truly be more excitable than the Bount and New Captain arc? So far, from what I've seems it looks like it. Nozomi Kujo X Ichigo, but Ichigo X Orihime 100%

A new possible crush: Nozomi X Ichigo?

As seen in the previous Bleach filler arc episode, Nozomi thought it would be best to hide from everyone and to conceal her presence so that her protectors and her enemies would be unaware of her whereabouts. However, the enemy found her and tried to take her away by force. Luckily, Ichigo has sworn to protect her because that's not what everyone wants, but it's what he wants as well. This causes Nozomi to reconsider as Ichigo asked her "Don't go anywhere, got that?" (paraphrasing). Nozomi says Yes and her answer just comes to show that she'll trust Ichigo and it may even hint........she may have fallen for Ichigo. She was hesitant at first, but she went along. And to further the speculation that she may have fallen for Ichigo, in the preview of the next bleach episode (comes out every Tuesday), she is seen blushing. That may be an indication of something and hopefully, Nozomi will have fallen for Ichigo, though this does not change my opinion of Ichigo X Orihime.

Yoshi (Bount)

In the Bleach Anime filler arc, a very masculine and power-mad woman named Yoshi is introduced. She works alongside the Bounts and just like any antagonist in bleach, they want one thing: power. She is, in my honest opinion, NOWHERE as hot as any of the other Bleach girls, but I would say she's a bit cute. I mean she has nothing to offer in terms of body, but in terms of skills....she has it. She's skilled with her Doll, Nieder, and is skilled in martial arts. When fighting Uryu, I think she had the advantage at first, but it would later turn against her. You could say, kinda, that her love for fighting and for power is somewhat similar to Kenpachi Zaraki. As far as things go, she was an "Ok" character, but still the Bount arc is my least favorite Bleach filler arc.

Ichigo's Lady Boss: Ikumi Unagiya

Introduced in the new Bleach manga, Ikumi Unagiya is Ichigo's Lady Boss. She works a variety of Odd Jobs and has hired Ichigo to work for her, but unfortunately Ichigo does not live up to her expectations and reprimands him every time, even to the point of visiting Ichigo at school. When I first saw this person, I thought it was just some guy who hired Ichigo, but no. Want to know how I knew it was a "she" and not a he? She has you-know-whats and their big to be exact. She's a single mother who has a son who dislikes Ichigo and ever since the events revolving around Ichigo and Ginjo have intensified, she's very concerned about Ichigo's wellbeing and wishes to help him. Even though she doesn't show it, Ikumi does care for Ichigo as if Ichigo were like a kid and she's the adult who'll help him out. She is one of the few female manga characters that, to be honest, I've somewhat had an eye on. Hopefully she'll have more of a pivotal role in the upcoming Bleach manga chapters.

The Caring and Loving wife of Nobility: Hisana Kuchiki

Hisana Kuchiki, Byakuya's wife and Rukia's sister, was a sickly woman who cared very much about Byakuya and was concerned for the wellbeing of the sister she left behind, Rukia Kuchiki. She looks exactly like Rukia, but the main difference is that her hair is a big longer and frayed. She was kind, thoughtful, caring, and a loving woman. The reason why she left Rukia is because she felt that she wasn't prepared to be her sister and shouldn't be regarded as her sister and ever since....has felt guilty about deserting her. Moments before Hisana passes away from poor health, Hisana tells her husband, Byakuya, to take care of Rukia (in which Byakuya soon adopts Rukia into the Kuchiki family). It is because of Hisana that Byakuya now protects Rukia, cares for her, and will risk anything to protect her as Hisana's last wish.

Byakuya Kuchiki X Hisana Kuchiki.....forever

Momo Hinamori: The Lost Shinigami

Lieutenant of the 5th Division, Momo Hinamori, is childhood friends with Toshiro Hitsugaya, now captain of the 10th division. She initially joined the Gotei 13 just so she could follow her captain, Aizen Sousuke, who later would betray the Soul Society and leave his lieutenant for dead. She is close friends with Renji, Rangiku, and Kira, but not as close as she is with Toshiro (whom Hitsugaya always reprimands her because he is in actuality a captain). Ever since the defection of Momo Hinamori, she suspects that is was possibly Gin Ichimaru's doing, but we all know (SPOILER) that Gin only allied himself with Aizen just so he can find the chance to gain his trust and to kill him for trying to hurt Gin's childhood friend, Rangiku Matsumoto. Since then, she has grown paranoid and it is unknown on her current condition. The last we saw Momo Hinamori was when Hitsugaya looked as if he impaled Aizen, but it was actually Momo Hinamori; sending Toshiro Hitsugaya in a furious rage. Her fate and her current condition may be unknown, but nothing will change the fact that Momo Hinamori truly does care for Hitsugaya Toshiro and that is probably one of the many reasons why she joined the Gotei 13, to become strong to protect the ones he cares for. Hopefully, in the Manga, Momo Hinamori will finally be recuperated and possibly, this may be right/wrong, could become a member of the 10th division under Toshiro Hitsugaya.

Hitsugaya Toshiro X Momo Hinamori - A friendship and relationship that'll last.....forever.

And the winners are.....a Tie!

The 2nd Bleach Girls poll was intense. Back to back, neck, and neck, the votes were closing in one that one girl. However, as a result, two girls were tied with 5 votes and if there is a tie within the polls, then both are automatically the winner or winners. The two lucky women who were voted Bleach cutest girls Part 2 are.........Hinamori Momo and Hisana Kuchiki.


Thank You again for voting everyone. The new poll is now up. Which Kenpachi Zaraki fight do you like best?

Nozomi Kujo Pt II

So far, as the Bleach filler arc continues, Nozomi has caught my eye. Not only is she beautiful in appearance, but she is....lost. Every time someone is to help her, she refuses help, even from her fellow Shinigami. Not much is known about her except that she's closely being guarded by Ichigo and the gang. The humorous thing about Nozomi is her relationship with Kon. As mentioned in Part I, she finds him to be rather perverted, a jerk, and a nuisance. She, above all else, does not want anyone to interfere in her life, whether she's in danger or not. However, now that the main antagonist has revealed himself, Nozomi can't stop to wonder whether she should reconsider the help or to handle the situation herself. So far....she's trying to do things by herself, despite Ichigo and his friend's worries. Surprisingly, Kon always finds her. However, Nozomi, in my opinion, would be  a suitable candidate for Ichigo (does not change my opinion about Ichigo and Orihime). They're both teenagers, Shinigami, but the main difference is one is lost and the other is not.

Ichigo and Nozomi?
Ichigo and Orihime?
Ichigo and Nel?

These three girls, in my opinion, are the ones who are attached to Ichigo. Although Nozomi hasn't properly thanked him, hopefully she'll become to understand Ichigo and possibly may even fall for him later on this arc. For now, she has the face of a lost girl.

Lilynette Gingerback: Stark's half

Now here's a Arrancar that reveals a lot of herself......literally. Just look at her outfit and you know that she's a damn fine woman. She's the complete opposite of her other half, Stark. While Stark is sleep, lazy, and uncooperative, Lilynette is hyperactive, fun, and enthusiastic. Her first appearance in both the Manga + Series is when she alerted her half, Stark. about the 9th Espada's death, in which Stark didn't pay any mind to. Throughout the bleach series, it is revealed that she is just a part of Stark. Stark, being lonely, split himself into two: his original body and this female named Lilynette.Both promised to be together so that the two won't ever get lonely. Unfortunately, upon becoming one again with Stark (she become's gun), she dies along with Stark as Shunsui Kyoraku strikes them both down. Stark, the lonely Espada, now dies alongside Lilynette......not alone, but forever.

Captain of the 4th Division :The Sweet and Nurturing...Retsu Unohana

Sweet, nurturing, caring, thoughtful, considerate, and fearful, these are the traits that define 4th Division's captain, Retsu Unohana. Just like Jushiro Ukitake and Shunsui Kyoraku, she was originally the captain of her division since the beginning. Not much is known about her except that her Zanpaktou is called Minazuki (Purify the Flesh), but her release command is unknown. Being captain of the 4th division, she is fond of treating the sickly and injured and is Soul Society's greatest healer. Other divisions call the 4th Division weak, spineless, and unfit for combat, but ironically, other squads are afraid of Retsu Unohana for her intimidating nature, despite the fact that she's speaking normally with a gentle and sweet voice. She was the one that told Ichigo that he was unaffected by Aizen's Zanpaktou and he is the only one that stands a chance to defeat him. Unohana also treated to her former captains (Shinji, Love, Rose, Kensei, etc). Hopefully, Unohana will fight back and possibly show what her true powers are other than healing the sick.

Which Bleach girl is the cutest? PART II

The new poll for the Bleach cute girl Part II is up. This time, I added more of a variety from human characters to Arrancar characters to Zanpaktou Spirit characters and etc. This is a tough one because although these characters do not play a pivotal role in the Bleach manga + anime, they still have an impact. For example, Apacci and Mila Rose are Tia Harribel's fraccion (2/3) and although not main characters, they still were pretty cute (especially Apacchi in my opinion and Mila Rose's you-know-whats were.......DAMN!). Hope you enjoy this new poll and hope to see voters out there vote. This poll, like any other, will run for about a week. So when you get the chance: Vote Vote Vote!
