Just curious, but do you know the big twist about the rankings? Because if you do...hehehe. HahahaHAhahahaahAHAHAHAaaaa...yha
Them not knowing Ulquirra is actually stronger then 4th is the least of your concerns. For those of you don't know or forget, I'm refering toSpoiler"The Zeroth Espada"

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
Zodiac - I still refuse to acknowledge that part as existing. Or at least, being that powerful. Because Ulquiorra could absolutely still beat him into the ground. As could, say, Stark. If either of them cared enough to do so, anyway.
That said, it did introduce the frankly brilliant scene of Kenpachi and Byakuya fighting side by side and getting progressively more bitchy towards each other, which was hilarious enough that I'm willing to overlook quite a bit of nonsense."Not trusting me might be the smartest decision you made since getting off of your horse."

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
It's scenes like that, and the entire "fight" between Renji and Byakuya VS As Nodt that makes me really feel the worst about Bleach, because Kubo clearly, CLEARLY has SOME talent, because Byakuya and Renji's reactions to each other in that scene was great. And As Nodt just going "Oh, wait, you're curious about what my power is? Oh, sorry, sorry, here, here's how it works!" is also pretty damn hilarious. And then he actually pulls his power off on Byakuya and we get a legitimately terrifying moment.

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
Yeah, I actually knew about the asspull with Yammy long before I knew about Ulquiorra's second release form(an issue with spoilers on another forum). Just thought the whole thing with Ulqie was interesting, and wondering where people would place him with his second form release state. I'd say he'd probably supplant Harribel, but I doubt he'd be any stronger then that.

You just wait, one day Kubo will reveal that Kenpachi is the WAAAAAGH! incarnate and his "sword with 2 hands" is totally justified and works because he said so.
Exception cannot prove the rule. It disproves it.

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
That would be hilariously ironic.
Also, the more I think of it, the more I hate Kubo for the twin asspull. I was liking this arc, dammit. I was the first chapter in Bleach I legitimately despise."It's the fate of all things under the sky,
to grow old and wither and die."

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
It was honestly one of the best fights in the series. It felt good to know that no matter how crazy Kenpachi was, he still had some trouble with Nnorita. And it was a Praying Mantis he was supposed to be based on. Really, any of the core battles with Kenpachi in the manga were all really great.
It's a constant disappointing starting from the early Arrancar arc that the best fights didn't center around the main cast of people. Soul Society had some good fights with the actual main cast, but as soon as the Captains got introduced it became more and more apparent that Kubo was more interested in showing off their powers.
And that could have been awesome had Chad not been worfed even as early as the end of the Soul Society Arc, Ishida lanquishing with his whimpy bow, Orohime being a generally useless character and Ichigo growing more and more wangtsy because Friendship or what ever.Last edited by Tebryn; 2012-10-08 at 07:21 PM.

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
well 2 handed does give him an extra .5x strength to damage. given his ability to use stone structures as projectiles, that could easily be an extra 30 damage

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
Hmm. I wonder though. Did the Old Man get taken down though? There is an old rule in stories, if you don't see the body they arn't dead. And even when you DO see the body they may not be dead. A number of different characters have pulled off illusions useing thier powers before. Hitsugaya did it with ice for instance. I am not saying that it happened, but it's best to keep an open mind.

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
Nope he did power attack for maximum damage but he didn't move prior to his final attack. I personally think prior to his final attack he made this attack a touch attack via wraithstrike.
In the round prior to his final attack he was using combat rhythm to score all kinds of touch attacks against Nnoitra. These attacks did no damage but it allowed him to gain an additional +5 damage rolls for his next round attack against Nnoitra. On his final attack he activated Diamond Nightmare Blade which made his single attack do quadruple damage. Quadruple Damage on his power attack, strength bonus, as well as his combat rthymn damage made his final strike an instant kill.Stupendous Man drawn by Linklele

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
With all the talk of Kenpachi and his uber powerness inmerely 2 handing a 1 handed sword, I now want to make a D&D character that's litterally the strongest ****er in existance, strong enough to compete with every living thing in terms of damage and abilities, with just 1 hand on his blade. And then he power attacks for -ALL- the multipliers with two hands and everyone realises how screwed they are. It would be awesome...
Old ground about the worst villain -ever-.
SpoilerBefore the Kido activated and sealed his ass away once and for all, Aizen claimed he was getting stronger, and that he didn't even need his Zanpacto anymore. Whether or not it was Ichigo weakening him or the Kido activating that made the Hogkyoku start rejecting Aizen is to be seen, but it's inconclusive, at least from another look.
Hm... actually, I'd like to ask you guys: What do you think the -worst- thing, be it a character, plot element, or even meta element, is in Bleach?
To me, it's that Kubo doesn't want to really value anyone or anything. Rather thn developing the characters he already has and making them more fleshed out and interesting, or even respecting theirs and our dignity, he instead makes new characters that are also just as flat. He substotutes new stuff for decent writing. It's like he's trying to appeal to adhd. "Look at all of these things!" rather than "look at these good things!". And it just rubs me the wrong way.Last edited by INoKnowNames; 2012-10-09 at 08:54 PM.

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
As a firm hater of Kubo's writing, I offer you a flip-side question:
What if Kubo IS afflicted with severe ADHD and that is why he keeps pulling out new shinies rather than refining the ones he already has on display? What if, were he not fighting against a never-ending drive to explore the new, he actually would be able to take a sub-plot across multiple story lines and NOT distort it into a mockery of their original potential?Homebrew:The Reaper-The Wild MageAvatar by Zarah

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
Personally, I absolutely love Bleach, and I do know it has flaws, and have even been able to call on things that people will rage at as I'm reading new chapters, but then again, that's not that hard.
Though after all of this, the one thing I hate is that there is potential for so much more with the story, but it doesn't executed in satisfying ways.
That could be the reason behind all this.

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
Hm... There are at least 5 different subplots that, with decent writing poured into them, would definitely be book worth. I'd be willing to pay money on them, easy.
Remember when it first came out, and everyone thought it would be like Yu-Yu-Hakusho, really playing up the "seeing the dead" and solving mysteries of lost souls angle? Figuring out what spirit is supposed to go where in the afterlife, and helping the living and dead make peace with each other?
I'd smoke that crack pipe every -day-. I still like reading Yu Yu and Case Closed, and I wonder what could have been...
