Humaru

I was playing some Bleach yesterday and reading some old chapters and then I thought came to me. We have seen Iba's zanpakuto but never has he said the name or shown us any abilities it has. Obviously its a physically based zanpakuto but I want to know more about this guy. And also, if we look back to the Data Book picture with the former captains....is the Vice captain of Squad 7 Iba's dad. Because the vice captain from Squad 2 is Omaeda's dad but it looks like him alot. Iba sorta looks like the old vice captain from squad 7 and it would explain the sunglasses he wears at all times.

You're most likely right about Renji being he strongest vice captain but it does not seem that way at times. Kira and Shuhei are pretty beast...that may be due to their attitudes. Kira is like a manic depressant and then turns very cold when defeating enemies. Shuhei probably had a dark past as he was growing up to have a deadly zanpakuto like Kazeshini and you can see glimpses of it when he's fighting as well.

This guy just continually gets on my nerves. I mean, I respected him at first because he seemed like one of the cooler and tougher Vice Captains but as time went on, I saw nothing but letdowns. He is always available to go on some sort of mission with Ichigo but hardly ever adds any real help. Other vice captains make him look bad even though he has a bankai and they dont. Im glad he isn't a captain because his squad would suck bad. Its a good thing he has Byakuya as a captain or he would have to be gotten rid of. [IMG]http://i175.photobucket.com/albums/w160/maiz_bucket/krillin.jpg[/IMG] Wow...Krillin. Its really a talent to suck so bad. I think I can sum of Krillin by saying this Krillin: Hey guys Im here to help. DESTRUCTO DISK!!!! (Bad guy smacks it away or uses it to play frisbee with) Krillin: My best attack...oh well at least I ca-(SMACK!!!) Goku: Ahh man Krillin got killed........AGAIN. Dangit...now we gotta find those stupid dragonballs and wish his @$# back to life...what a waste.

[quote name='Gavin' date='21 August 2010 - 11:52 AM' timestamp='1282405976' post='699693'] [font="Tahoma"][size="2"]As much as I don't want to say it out loud I've got a distinct feeling that next week's chapter is going to be at least 50% talking as Butterflyzen comments on Ichigo's growth and we get an explanation of how he beat Tensa/Hichigo fusion and the effects of that victory. Probably get a comment from Aizen that Ichigo has finally mastered his bankai fully now, or at least to the level of most captains and his strength has grown to surpass all his previous limitations. Ichigo comments on Gin and Matsumoto and then of course with the final panel Ichigo will charge.[/size][/font] [/quote] I predict that you are absolutely right about that. I can just see it now....useless pages of nonsense speaking and no fighting.

I dont ever remember the Soul Reapers fighting any Vasto Lordes that weren't arrancars. Toshiro made us worry for no reason whatsoever.

After watching the latest episode, I'm kind of glad its over. I mean I understand that Hallibel's aspect of death had to be explained but it kinda just leaves an elephant in the room. I mean Aizen acquired Barragan into his new army and gave some of his followers powerups(for reasons I dont understand.) and then he helps Hallibel by saving her life. He should have just killed her there if he saw she couldn't stand against that other arrancar. Instead he just said some line that sounded like he got it out of a self-help book and offered her a spot in his army. This episode kinda made me hate Hallibel, I mean are we really suppose to believe that women hollows are to gather together and defend themselves from men hollows. I mean to get stronger a hollow has to consume others right...I guess Hallibel had a change of heart after she got strong enough for herself and to be the leader of the women hollows and arrancars. This episode took all of Hallibel's cool points. I guess Aizen got tired of helping her and finally just put her out of her misery.

Im really hoping the action picks up like you guys said. I kinda miss seeing some real fighting. Although I thought Gin would be a bit tougher to get rid of but I guess I was wrong. Ichigo's return was really awesome looking...let's hope his abilities match up to the awesomeness laid before him. But if we have seen before, we wont see actually fighting between Aizen and Ichigo for a couple of weeks probably due to the explanation of his training. At least we will get to see Ichigo fight his zanpakuto and hollow form to the full extent. Also with the Royal Guard I hope to see some real soul reapers. The 13 court guard squad captains are cool in their own right but these Royal Guards guys must be juggernauts....at least I hope they are. See Aizen actually have a challenge.

Yes I love cartoons despite being as old as I am...haha. My favorite toons are: Doug Hey Arnold Rocket Power Rugrats Johnny Bravo Ed, Edd, and Eddy Super Secret Secret Squirrel 2 Stupid Dogs Adventure Time Pretty much all the old Nick and Cartoon Network Lineups before they got dumb. Adventure Time is the only show I keep up with today...its pretty good. I have alot more where those came from but this is all I got for now. I gotta get the math outta here!!!!

Hiro and Aiko had begun walking the short trip to Cherrygrove. They were both scanning the area around them but not with too much worry. Since this was such a calm area, only small pokemon like Sentret or Pidgey would actually be here...hopefully. As they continued the path, they decided to stay near all the open areas they could. If anything were to attack them, they could see it and be able to defend themselves properly. They began climbing up a small area. "I'll go first Aiko, that way I can scan the area for any rogue pokemon." Hiro said. Hiro climbed the area quickly and looked around for anything strange. After not noticing anything immediately he turned to help Aiko but noticed a shadow out of the corner of his eye. This shadow didn't look like a pokemon though, it looked like a person had just ran by. Hiro began looking towards the woods to see if the shadow would come out again. "HEY HIRO, HELP ME!!!!" Aiko screamed waiting for Hiro to help her. He took one last glance at the woods and then turned to help Aiko. After helping her, he began to become more weary of himself and his surroundings. Soon after a short walk they arrived in Cherrygrove. Aiko led Hiro in a back entrance of the Pokemon Center. "Hey I'm back you guys. And I brought someone back with me." Aiko said as she and Hiro walked into a room with an elderly man, 2 teenage guys, a middle aged woman, another teenage girl, and some nurses. All the people in the house began looking at Hiro. "Hello, everyone...I'm Hiro...from Sunnyshore City...its a pleasure to meet you all." he uttered shyly. "WHAT, Aiko why are you bringing more people here. We barely have enough food and water for those of us already here. You knew we can't take in any more wanderers. He has to leave right!!!",one of the boys yelled. The elderly man stood up and put his hand on the boy's shoulder to calm him down. The man started walking towards Hiro and calmly showed him the small amount of supplies they had. "I'm sorry for his rudeness young man but he is right...I'm afraid we cannot take in anymore wanderers. Please forgive me." As the man continued speaking, Hiro interrupted him politely. "I have no intention of staying here at all sir. For you see, I plan to go to Goldenrod to try to get in contact with someone. I understand your situation and I will leave the first chance I get." Hiro and the elderly man shook hands and they both sat down. "Now that thats all over, let me introduce you to everyone Hiro. This is my grandfather Fao and my sister Himiko. Those two guys are Walton and Sam. Thats their mother Heather and those are the center nurse Lee, Abigail,and May." Aiko said. All the people who wanted to, waved and said hello. The two guys just looked at Hiro without saying anything. "Where are the others, grandpa?" Aiko asked with a puzzled look on her face. Fao's face took a grim turn and he looked away. Aiko noticed and began looking at everyone else. They all had the face and she knew something was wrong. Fao walked up to Aiko and patted her back as he quietly spoke of the fate of those formerly with them. Aiko immediately began to cry and she ran over to her sister. There was alot of sorrow in the room. Fao took this chance to ask Hiro to come into another room. Both of them went into a small room down the hall of the Pokemon Center. They sat down and Fao began asking Hiro some questions such as "Who is he going to contact and why?" Hiro began explaining everything he could to Fao and they had a long discussion on the situation plaguing their homes. After explaining all he could, Hiro asked Fao a question that he seemed to be waiting on. "Look Fao, I have a long journey ahead me and as much as I would appreciate Aiko's help....I need to travel on my own. It's nothing against her or anything but I can't protect her. I can barely protect my pokemon from harm. I don't want her to get hurt on my expense. Besides I think she needs to stay here. She seems to be the bonding point that connects all of you. Plus she can protect you from any more attacks. So I guess what I'm asking you is if you can help me leave without her noticing?" Hiro explained. Fao simple nodded to Hiro's request and he helped Hiro plan an escape. *It was dark now and everyone was preparing for bed.* "I'll stand the first watch tonight," Fao quickly said to everyone. Everyone agreed as they all got together in the middle of the room and prepared their sleeping mats. Hiro glanced over to Fao and Fao nodded at him. After a while, everyone was asleep...except for Hiro. He was writing on a piece of paper and began gathering his things. "Thank you Fao....for everything. I'll make sure to come back and help you guys in any way I can. I promise you that." Hiro whispered. Fao shook Hiro's hand and found the note Hiro wrote to Aiko. "Could you give that to her when you get a chance....again thank you." Hiro added as he snuck out the back of the pokemon center. Hiro continued on his path towards Violet City. As he walked, a tear began to fall from his eye. "I just have to add her to the list of those I promised to help. Whoever or whatever is causing this is in for a world of hurt once I get my hands of them. BUt thats not important now....I have to get to Goldenrod soon. No more stopping until I get there. Hopefully I can find what I'm looking for. Hmm....hope seems to be the only thing I have left."

Ahh another mystery solved. Thanks for the info. Though I kinda want to see what this could do...must not be much if he got killed so easily by Kenpachi, if that happens to be him.

My plans are to go see it tonight if not tomorrow. Im excited to see this movie....it definitely makes me want to actually go to the movies much like Inception does. Hopefully though Scott Pilgrim will replace all that dumb Twilight fever everyone seems to have.

Someone's missing. [/quote] Hey yeah...no vice captain for squad 10 and a whole squad is missing. Where is squad 11's captain and vice captain. I dont know if the captain is the same guy Kenpachi killed but its probably likely. This squad had to be without a vice captain since Yachiru took that spot...maybe this was Isshin's spot and then he got promoted to the Royal Guard. Also, Im guessing that all the characters from the photo that aren't vizards that we haven't seen are part of the Royal Guard as well. If so....Aizen look sto have some trouble coming his way if he gets to the Royal Guard. Some of those guy look too bad@#$ to be toyed with.

Never ever have sex at school and entertain the thought that you won't get caught. Its always the ones who had a plan of not getting caught, that get caught with someone's butt in the air. And school bathrooms are dirty!!!

Darn it...these new filler episodes look like they are gonna be terrible. I have to say that there were only 2 good filler arcs but that's only because we got to see cool new stuff we needed to know about our favorite characters. I mean come on Ichigo and the magic lamp(kinda jumping the shark with this one, from what it sounds like) I would have royal guard arc so we can see who exactly is all in it. I have some hunches but I want to see if I'm right or not.

You're right Beretta...he totally deserves one too. He was clearly one of the best and most devoted Espada. I mean he brought Ichigo to his knees until Ichigo pulled a "hero move" and came back with some new power. I guess since [spoiler]his aspect of death is nihilism,[/spoiler] he gets nothing. Ha, go figure. Its must be hard for Kubo to draw up a flashback that shows how Ulquiorra represents nothing. The espada who did get flashbacks, it was kinda simple. [spoiler]Starkk=Loneliness (Flashback showed how he was so lonely due to his massive strength so he had to split himself into 2 separate beings to not be lonely.) Barragan=Old Age (Since he is constantly getting older and time passes by, he gets bored. So bored that he pits his arm against one another. And its like he said, everything gives way to time including himself) Hallibel=Sacrifice (She sacrifices her time and power to look out for her subordinates. Even her fracciones had to sacrifice part of themselves to create that "pet" arrancar) Grimmjoww=Destruction ( He constantly had to destroy and eat other hollows to get stronger. He destroyed so much that it came to haunt him....his entire fracciones army were destroyed and he himself met his match)[/spoiler] ALSO I just saw on Adultswim that new episodes are coming on August 28th. I dont know if anyone knew that but I'm excited to see all this stuff in English.

You know I just realized that every "cool" espada had a flashback of their life before they die. [spoiler]Grimmjow did get hit pretty hard by Nnoitora but who knows Retsu Unohana was healing everybody she saw and she did heal that one Privaron Espada I think.[/spoiler] As for the time that we haven't been graced by Grimmjow,maybe thats part of the surprise of him showing up and helping out. He also has that "warrior's spirit" and by that I mean since the author wants them to look sooo Bad@#% they can survive even the most intense injuries by some sort of willpower they have.....examples: Ichigo(on more than one occasion), Kenpachi, Renji, and Chad.

[quote name='Gavin' date='11 August 2010 - 08:52 AM' timestamp='1281531129' post='699240'] [size="2"][font="Tahoma"]Just a quick alert, there's no WSJ release this week so no Naruto, Bleach, One Piece, Psyren etc until next week.[/font][/size] [/quote] AHHHH!!!!!! NO WAY!!! The waiting has to continue.....what a drag.

Ahh yes. Someone else also believes Grimmjow is still alive. I wonder what his part in the story will be now.Maybe he's the way the other soul reapers get back to Karakura...I dont know. He still pretty bad@#%. He has got to be the coolest Espada along with Nnoitora because they weren't afraid to break the rules that Aizen laid down. Of course, their actions led to some negative consequences but still all and all, they are great.

Dang....I thought for certain that was Byakuya. He was an active kid...its weird that he grew up to be what he is now. Ahh crap...I don't speak japanese...yet. But until that day I will have to wait until it hits here in the US. Gosh I hate waiting sometimes. Well Hanatarou being older than Byakuya isn't too shocking as we've seen that hardly anyone has aged in the series. Look at Shunsui, Retsu, and Juushiro...they still look the same as they did in the TBtP arc. Bakuya just got taller really. Even Yamamoto still looks the same, but I guess its harder to look any older than that guy. I think you start off as a kid but then once you get to your adult size you stay that way for quite awhile. If Hanatarou is older, then he's got years above alot of other characters as well. Its a shame they treat him like an annoying little brother. Dang all this Bleach incoming into my system makes me want to start a Bleach RP.

I've actually had some ideas of crossover games. The first one I thought of was a crossover between Mortal Kombat and Killer Instinct. I've been pushing this for a long time, even on here from time to time. I just think these games go hand in hand...both are soo similar. Another one I would like to see is Guilty Gear vs Street Fighter. If they made this game SF:A3 style, then it would be awesome.

Hey is there any word to when the new Databook is going to be available? Or is it already available....I really need a good updating on all my characters and such. P.s. Saw the photo Beretta and I gotta say that some those guys are look pretty bad@$#. It's funny to see young Byakuya before he got all serious and junk...i wonder what it would be like if he were still like that.

[quote name='Beretta' date='08 August 2010 - 05:34 AM' timestamp='1281260061' post='699081'] I'll never understand why Renji attacked her first when she didn't resist in the first place. [/quote] Because Renji has got to be the biggest let down of the series. When it started, he looked like he was gonna be awesome but as time went on, we quickly learned that he is mostly bark and some bite. He does take out a few guys but when you need his help, he is useless. Renji probably wanted to get a win under his belt because he knew of his lameness.

Maybe, and I hope that this isn't right, but maybe Aizen "planned" for Gin to take the Hougyoku away from him that way he can achieve maximum hollowness. He does want to eat Ichigo when he gets back, which is still weird...after all this swordplay Aizen is reduced to cannabalism. I think he's counting on losing some control on his transformation because it can get pretty hectic when it comes to transforming into a hollow-like being. He will see what happens to his body and hopefully it will makes his task of eating Ichigo alot easier.

Well Rukia really is his sister in law and I still think he was bluffing about killing her. [spoiler]He made a promise to his wife that he would protect Rukia when she died.[/spoiler] And he was really gonna kill her, he should have done before they left the world of the living. I mean she broke the law right...why not kill her there...but I guess that ruins the entire story. As for what I said, I guess "killed" is the wrong word to use in that situation. I should have used "defeated" rather than "killed." When you think about the series entirely (Side arcs, movies, and the back to the past arc) how many people are killed rather than defeated. Like you said, there is no account for Yamamoto, Shunsui, and Juushiro's battles. They seem to be the strongest soul reapers but their personalities make us think otherwise. Yamamoto is like the last resort so he doesn't fight as much, Shunsui is like a lazy bum who loves drinking more than defeating his opponents, and Juushiro has TB or so it would seem. Ichigo hasn;t really killed alot of guys but has defeated quite a few. But far as we have seen not really anyone else can make that claim that they have killed alot of guys.
