Kenpachi

Bleach 36

It's about damn time! For what, you ask? The fight between Kenpachi and Ichigo! Most know I'm a big fan of Kenpachi, so the next few episodes of Bleach are going to have me grinning from ear to ear.

Ichigo and crew (Hanataro and Ganju) are running to free Rukia from her prison. A HUGE spiritual force stops them in their tracks. It immobilzes Hanataro and Ganju. Even Ichigo is oppressed by it.

Kenpachi is standing on a building. Ichigo feels the bloodlust and imagines he's been stabbed by a sword. Kenpachi tells Ichigo he's been waiting for him. Yachiru, the vice-captain pops up and comments on how much Hanataro is drooling. She jumps on Ichigo. Ichigo is stunned to learn the little girl is a vice-captain. He tells (screams at) Ganju to get the hell out of there. Ganju starts to bicker, but Ichigo yells at him again. Ganju grabs Hanataro and splits.

Kenpachi doesn't care. He wants to fight Ichigo. He offers Ichigo a free shot at him. Ichigo takes offense, then tries to slash Kenpachi. He hits him across the chest, only to discover it's not Kenpachi who is hurt. Ichigo's hands are bleeding.

Kenpachi tells Ichigo that one with a lower spiritual force cannot harm another who has a higher spiritual force. Ichigo won't be able to scratch Kenpachi.

Kenpachi is disappointed. He wanted to fight someone strong. Ichigo is nearly wetting his pants.

The show ends...however, this is just the beginning of a fight of epic perportions. (Zoso is smiling...and smiling...and smiling)

Bleach 183

Ichigo and crew are back home. It's a new school year. Kon looks like he's been run over by a truck (seriously...his eye is hanging by a thread and his stuffing is coming out). Ichigo leaves to go to school, notices the good luck charm his dad gave him. Ichigo tries to give it back, but of course, the usual argument ensues between them.

Things are normal at school. Except Chad and Orihime are hanging out at Ishida's desk; and they're getting an new transfer student. Ishida has been very quiet since their return. Tatsuki notices Ichigo's Shinigami Medallion. She asks why he's carrying around such and ugly thing. Ichigo is stunned she can see it. Ukitake told him no one but a Shinigami should be able to see it, since it would be too dangerous to someone who isn't a death god.

Ichigo is in class and the medallion (I forgot the name of it), starts shouting "Hollow! Hollow!" Scares the crap out of Ichigo. He leaves class, followed by Orihime and Chad. Tatsuki notices a orange haired shinigami running across the track.

After killing a Hollow, Ichigo, Chad, and Orihime are talking. They don't notice the person hanging upside down in the sky above them. He watches Ichigo...and he knows his name.

Hmmmm....

Tatsuki being able to see the medallion Ichigo carries is curious. I personally think her spiritual powers have finally manifested and she'll join the ranks of the rest of them. I don't think the new transfer student and the guy hanging in the sky are the same, but I could be wrong. The guy in the sky looks a lot like Gin, but I think that's just coincidence. My question is: What is he?

Naruto 264

I won't be talking about the cartoon for awhile. The fillers are stupid. Usually, I don't mind fillers, but this new "arc" of Naruto is just rediculous.

The manga is picking up again. Kakashi, Naruto, Baba (old woman), and Sakura are squaring off with Dedaria and Sasori. Dedaria bugs the hell out of me. Anyway, they've got Gaara's body. He doesn't look too good. In fact, he looks very dead.

Naruto starts yelling at Gaara to get up. Dedaria says he can't because Gaara is very, very dead. This pisses Naruto off and he freaks out. Naruto starts yelling at them to give Gaara back and he attacks, but Kakashi stops him.

Dedaria and Sasori argue over who gets to fight who. Naruto busts out a scroll, summons a shurikan and hurls it at the two of them. Sasori bats it away without even looking.

Dedaria decides he's going to fight Naruto. Naruto follows him, since Dedaria's paper/clay bird thingy picks up Gaara's body. Kakashi goes after Naruto.

Sasori squares off with his baba (grandma) and Sakura. Sakura is a bit worried, but Baba says not to worry. She pulls out a bunch of kunai and throws them at Sasori. Sasori shows them his puppet body and then tells them he's going torture, disembowl them, and then turn them into his puppets.

The big question: Is Gaara really dead? It certainly looks like as of right now. But why didn't they just leave the body? They didn't need it. I suppose we'll see. I am really hoping Baba-san (I forget her name too) opens a can of whup ass on her wayward grandson. My guess is they'll take each other down.

More interesting was last weeks chapter. Itachi's hesitation at telling the leader of the Akatsuki who the holder of Kyuubi was was interesting. His answer was curious too--very vague. I wonder what that was about...
