Bleach Anime Preview

I can have the last post any time I want, so enjoy your illusory finality.

I will enjoy it! Thank you kindly for you warm words.

Okay, NOW Ginjo looks stupid.

I wish he'd stop with the stop ending chapters with "They're totally going to fight next time!" panels if that's not what's going to happen.

I agree, I feel like I've been egged on 4 weeks in a row. I've gotten through nearly 500 chapters, you don't need to constantly end on a cliff hanger as if I need to be roped back weekly.

The pimp coat leveled up.

Edit: Also.

It kind of reminded me of Hollow Ichigo, actually--oh, look, his eyes are even black.

In a way, what I really want is an explanation of Ginjo's powers. We still don't know if that sword is his Zanpakuto as well as his FullBring.

Eh, I guess if you have to make one of the new transformations look stupid, better it not be Ichigo's.

The X over his face reminds me of Nnoitra's release. I guess Kubo's finally run out of level-up outfit ideas.

On that note, Ichigo's looks badass, though I'm a bit upset it doesn't even resemble his FullBringer outfit, which was teased for 20 chapters, worn for 2, and will probably never be seen again.

I'm not. If he'd had it from the beginning, sure. But I didn't like that it was thrown in 400 chapters later just to make Ichigo a speshul snoflak.

Ichigo is one hell of a snowflake.

Bleach, doing badass, slow-mo, group walks since forever.

Was a good chap.

I called that FullBringers could use Cero! I so fucking called that!

He did. He totally did guise.

You, of course, know this means Noct is shoot a black cero at the first mother fucker that looks at her wrong.

Noctis pretty much already can fire Ceros.

Euryale might be able to learn them too, but why bother? She shoots lava.

And is an awesome, sexy gorgon.

Her "cero" lays her out for the remainder of the fight.

A better reason not to use them would be that ceros hardly ever do shit in your RP.

That's not what I meant.

What's this "your RP" bullshit? Fucking Cero Montage!

FIRST EVER CERO fired at Ichigo by a Gillian. He blocks it.
Cero used by Ichigo's Hollow. He never even gets to fire it.
Cero used by Shinji against Grimmjow. He blocks it with his own.
Cero used by Dordonni. Nel swallows it & spits it back at him. It gives him minor burns, which he heals by releasing.
Synchronized Cero used by Pesche & Dondochakka on Szayel. He splits it in half, each half sailing harmlessly past him.
Gran Rey Cero shot by Grimmjow, Ichigo blocks it without a scratch.
Cero shot by Nnoitra at Nel. Meets the same fate as Dordonni's.
Cero shot at Kenpachi not long afterwards, he literally bats it aside with his bare hand.
Ulquiorra's Cero Oscuras, kills Ichigo.
Ichigo comes back & kills Ulquiorra with his own Cero.
Lillynette's Cero, which Ukitake bats away with his bare hand from a sitting position.
Starrk's 1000 Ceros, absorbed by Ukitake & fired back at him.
Starrk shooting Kyoraku point-blank in the back, he plays possum & later hops up to destroy Starrk completely.
Aizen's Cero-like Fragor, manages to take out Ichigo's arm, but wait he goes Mugetsu & makes everything better right afterwards.

And, finally, this chapter. Where he seems to have blocked it with his bare hand with barely any effort. As you can see, Ceros in Bleach have a failure ratio of over 8:1.

Gillians don't mean shit.

Because the visords were afraid of the damage and beat his ass before he could.

This effectively kicked Grimmjow's ass, and he avoided the full brunt of the blast.

Quote :

Nel has a special power to do that, need I remind you of the nuke she creates at her full power, which she wasn't at here.

Fracciones aren't shit, especially against an Espada with Kisuke levels of "I know how your power works, therefore it is useless against me."

Quote :

Ichigo tanked a lot of shit that fight. Remember, he also grabbed Grimm's hand to stop him from attacking at all, but was useless against Nnoitra a few seconds later.

Quote :

Shit nuked his ass.

Quote :

Are we surprised that the man batted away anything? He doubled his power to "HOLY SHIT, WHAT THE FUCK!" by using two hands on his sword.

Quote :

Um... my point...

Quote :

Lillynette's Cero, which Ukitake bats away with his bare hand from a sitting position.

She didn't do anything. Before becoming a pair of guns she was literally useless, being toyed with by Ukitake. Not really a fair example as it was her character that was weak.

Quote :

Starrk's 1000 Ceros, absorbed by Ukitake & fired back at him.

Like Nel, this is his power, and has nothing to do with the power of the ceros at all.

Quote :

Starrk shooting Kyoraku point-blank in the back, he plays possum & later hops up to destroy Starrk completely.

Forgetting to mention that Starkk kept two visords at bay with only his cero guns, before going on to Los Lobos, and that him being destroyed was the result of a game rule, not to take away from Shunsui.

Aizen's Cero-like Fragor, manages to take out Ichigo's arm, but wait he goes Mugetsu & makes everything better right afterwards.

Are we forgetting that Ichigo was almost literally Godtier at that point. I mean, he was literally a "Transcendental", if that isn't god-like I don't know what is. He also face palmed Aizen out of a damn CITY, and cleaved a MOUTAIN with the force of a parry. Aizen was out of his league with Dangai Ichigo, but he still managed to fuck up his arm. I'm sure Ichigo was mildly inconvenienced by that, which is saying something.

Ichigo is in his new, "I'm better than before" bankai, and hasn't been shown to be not handling anything, let alone the cero. There is also the fact that we don't know how strong Ginjo really is. We know they sent 3 captains, and 3 vice captains to kill off 6 FullBringers (7 should Ichigo have turned, or 8 if we include Chad, or 9 if Orihime is there too), meaning they probably thought they'd be able to cut through him with ease anyway.

Also, we also have to remember that Main Characteritis comes into play for most of these (or at least "Good guys never lose-itis").

I'm not saying Ceros end worlds, but they are legitimate attacks that do damage.

Okay. Now consider that the Ceros in the RP probably fail for similar reasons.

That isn't fair. If that was true then why don't ceros work when the good guys do them?

Lilith: Has managed to cut a Hollow in half & surprise Senthose. Then almost eat him.
Senthose: Used a few decently. Didn't he kill Aizen, or something?
Kira: I don't remember.
Mortal: They can do damage when they hit things, the trouble is, Mortal throws them around like confetti.
Sab: I'd be more afraid if Taiyo threw a walnut at me.

Pretty sure Mortal damn near killed Kenny with her good one during their first fight, making this whole thing kind of a moot argument.

Also, I'd be more afraid of that walnut too. This is Taiyo, I don't trust that walnut to be clean in any way, shape, or form.

Also, Sab is about as threatening as...well, a domesticated sheep.
