Ramblings of a Crowe

Bleach 199 and Naruto 280

These will be short. Stuff is happening in both series, but not a lot to talk about right now. Most of it is carry over from last week and such.

Anyway～

In Bleach, Rukia is begging Isshin to let her stay at their house. It's a corny sorry, but of course Isshin and Yuzu burst into tears and Issin goes on his normal cracked out tirade.

Rangiku goes over to Orihime's house and Orihime lets her stay (it seems Hitsugaya will be staying on Orihime's rooftop). Rangiku notices that Orihime is down. After threatening Orihime to tell her what's wrong, Rangiku learns that Orihime is feeling a bit jealous of Rukia, as well as usless.

Rangiku opens the door of the bathroom where she was taking a bath and starts tickling Orihime (buttnaked...). She tells Orihime that Ichigo needs her too, then she tries to comfort Orihime with 'her bosom' (Rangiku is enamored with her own boobs...).

Meanwhile, Grimm Jow (not Grimm Jaw according to the cover) is sitting on a rooftop when his buddies show up. There are five of them: Diroy, Shauron, Edorad, Ilfort, and Nakim. Seems Grimm Jow has decided to take matters into his own hands and get rid of Ichigo on his 'own'. He's also noticed the presence of the SS members, so he's gonna eliminate them too...along with anyone else who has the slightest hint of spiritual pressure (which might explain why we see Tatsuki and Asano mixed in with the the SS members and Ichigo crew at the end).

Naruto has been rather tearful the past two weeks. Gaara is alive, thanks to Chiyobaa, but at the expense of her own life. That's sad enough, but what makes this little episode a tearjerker is Gaara's revival and his realization that the Sand nins really do care about him. Upon waking up last week, he found himself surrounded (and I mean surrounded) by his people, who had come to save him. This week, Gaara looks around, stunned, as Temari fusses over him. Several Gaara fangirls squee over his wellbeing, and Kankuro chids him for being a troublesome little brother.

Kankuro thanks Naruto for helping Gaara, then explains that Chiyobaa is dead. She used a forbidden jutsu to bring Gaara back, but the cost was her own life. There's some elevating of Naruto and his strange ability to change people, and a flashback of Chiyobaa telling Naruto to become a Hokage that the world has never seen before.

Gaara gets to his feet with the help of Naruto and tells everyone to send their wishes to Chiyobaa.

Meanwhile...

Deidara isn't dead! Color me a bit surprised. He breaks out of the ground, still missing his arm, but looking pretty okay for a guy who's been digging in the dirt. Apparently he used an exploding bushin to make his escape (how convinent). However, he's got some trouble. The arm he's missing was the one that had his ring on it. He seems troubled over this.

Around the corner (not literally), Zetsu has found Sasori's body. Zetsu is a bit strange, as part of him speaks in katakana and another part speaks 'normally'. Seems he has two personalities (it's hard to tell whose doing the talking here). 'They' find Sasori's ring, while talking about someone named 'Tobi'. Seems 'Tobi' wants to join the Akatsuki crew, and for some reason, the rings are important for that. However, as 'Tobi' is tossing the ring into the air, he misses catching it...

End of chapter.
