Well...since I'm really too lazy to do any screen caps for the shows I'll just do a brief synopsis of what happened. Real brief.
Naruto 134:
The end of the battle between Naruto and Sasuke. I'm sorry, but Sasuke is just plain rediculous in his level 2 form. I mean...what the hell is that crap coming out his back? Frog legs? And the guy STILL thinks he's cool? Sasuke, YOU. ARE. A. FREAK. Anyway...I won't say Sasuke really owns Naruto in this fight. He does win, but Naruto's chakara is wavering. They both fire up powerful Rasengans and Chidoris and blast each other. Naruto goes down. There are a few "touching" scenes I'm sure all the yaoi fangirls are squeeing over, and Sasuke leaves. However, he insinuates that he couldn't/wouldn't kill Naruto. He says he'll find power in his own way and not listen to what Itachi said. Kakashi finds Naruto, who is hurt, but not dead. End of show for the time being...(till next week--don't freak out, Narutards).
Bleach 31
I was a bit disappointed that the Renji/Ichigo fight seemed a bit hurried. Then again, I'm biased, being a Renji fan. Anyway, Ichigo is bleeding. Renji works him over with Zabimaru. The two of them "argue". Renji is pissed at Ichigo because he blames him for the situation Rukia is in. Ichigo tells him he KNOWS it's his fault and that's why he's trying to save her. Renji says Ichigo can't save her and beats the crap out of him. However, Ichigo remembers his training with Kisuke, and makes a tremendous comeback. Infact, he has Renji shaking in his sandles. Ichigo increases his spirit power and breaks Zabimaru. His eyes turn a haunting blue color (hollow Ichigo peeking through???), and then nails Renji. Renji is slashed and goes down.
Poor Renji. He's not a bad guy. He cares a lot about Rukia. I can't wait to see the next episode, where we see the two of them as little kids. I imagine Byakuya will make his assholish apperance as well. Kenpachi is right around the corner too...God, I can't wait to see that fight!
Manga:
I'll start with Bleach because it's another WTF chapter.
Bleach:
Friggen Aizen.
Yourichi and SoiFong have Aizen cornered. All the other captains have shown up. Aizen is unphased. Yourichi tells SoiFong to move as a strange light engulfs Aizen. The sky opens up and a handful of Menos Grande show up to carry him into the sky. Gin and Tousen go with him. Everyone is stunned. People start yelling at the three of them. Tousen tells the fox dude he follows the path with the least blood (WTF Tousen? The LEAST blood...what are you, blind? Bad joke...I know.) Aizen makes a comment about how he's going to stand on Heaven in a place where even God hasn't touched. HUH? He then tells Ichigo he was interesting...when he was human. What the hell does that mean? They disappear with the Menos and the sky closes back up.
*shakes head*
Okay...I'm friggen CONFUSED...Was Aizen refering to the fact Ichigo his like part Hollow? And what's with this Heaven crap? And where the hell did the Hollows come from? Menos, none the less....?? Well, I guess on the brighter side of things, everyone can regroup for the time being. Lots of hurt/dead people laying around right now. If I remember right, Ichigo is nearly cut in half. Looks like fox guy (can't remember his name) is doin just fine after being hacked to bits though. Byakuya...don't know about him yet...nor Hitsugaya or Hinamori...
Naruto
So Naruto is facing off with Itachi. Well, not really; it's all just a genjutsu created by Itachi's finger. Yes...his finger. He doesn't need his eyes to create horrible genjutsus...he can use his finger too. What a scary guy. Naruto battles the genjutsu and loses...Itachi almost has him but ba-chan and Sakura save him. Kakashi squares off with Itachi. Big show down next week. It was a good chapter. Itachi gets scarier and scarier. As much as I love Naruto, I get irritated with him though...he would have beaten Itachi's genjutsu if he hadn't let his emotions get the better of him.
I suspect Bleach next week will be pretty mellow. Then again, this is one manga that keeps me on my toes. Real high on the WTF factor. Naruto should be pretty good. I hope they tell us what Gai saw in Kisame...and I'm really curious to what Kakashi has up his sleeve.
On another note, I got my Trinity Blood manga in the mail the other day and I'm loving it. The anime is okay. Entertaining enough, but nothing spectacular. The manga is cool though. I love Abel and Tres. Ha ha!
I'm slowly working on TMTB for those interested. cpt 15 should be done in a week or two if all goes well. Thanks for being patient!
