Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
New chapter.
SpoilerThis'll be a good place for speculation on if Zaraki's Shikai is active right now. Remember, Kenpachi is not something you do, it's a state of mind or something.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Thoughts about the chapter.
SpoilerIs that kid even trying anymore? Ok perhaps he's getting pumped up, but so far, that translated with an actual decrease in efficiency. Rocks, bullets and missiles, really? All that does is making Kenpachi looks good, without actually showing any real progress from him. It was a clear step back compared to the previous chapter, where his method didn't work, but was actually a clever counter, and I'm still trying to guess why he didn't try again what he did to Yachiru.
*sigh* At this rate, Zaraki is going to win without having shown anything at all.Fluctuat nec mergitur

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
SpoilerRemember the last time an SR loses his **** and eventually wins? Me neither. This Gremmy guy's fate is sealed the moment that his Raepface showed.
It's funny that when I first read the chapter, I thought Askin and Pepe were referring to Ywach unleashing Gremmy. But... what if in reality, it was Kenpachi Zaraki that he unleashed to SS years ago?

Spoiler: SpoilerI think they were talking about Gremmy. They think Zaraki is dangerouse, but they have no clue on how dangeouse he has become. (He has gone through an Ichigo class power upgrade ) Zaraki hasn't even taken off his eye patch yet. And I don't think it will be taken off for this fight either. Also did we see a little character growth from him?Member of the Giants in the Playground Forum Chapter for the Movement to Reunite Gondwana!

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
SpoilerWow. I mean... Out of friggin' nowhere, just GUNS. That's so weird. Have we ever even seen guns in this manga before? Why are there no zanpakuto that turn into guns? Well whatever. Why were the other two SR pumping up Gremmy anyway? He doesn't seem to be using his power to its fullest potential right now. It seems like, if anything you could imagine happens, you'd think up whatever you need to finish the battle and be done with it. I understand that's difficult, maybe even impossible, to apply to Kenpachi, but he could still be making better use of it.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Spoilerwith gremmy, from the translation i have, it almost seems like it's not quite his "imagination" that becomes real, but more like his "day dreams", i may just be reading into this too much, but i think that he doesnt think somehting then it happens, i think his mind wonders from thought to thought and he selectively makes them real, which might be why they seem so random at times, so he's not really a god-wizard, but more like a deck of many things
or possibly he wanders from thought to thought and they become real regardless of his personal wishes, and he just acts like he planned it all? live when kenpachi jumped, he made what seemed like a little story, or the written account of a child's day dream
i'm probably entirely wrong, but that might be why he can't just go "i imagine that i win" or "i imagine i'm omnipotent" or something else like that

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
SpoilerOr it could just be they were using Gremmy to lure out Kenpachi, and they have some sort of plan to use him.
SpoilerZaraki is about to take his eyepatch off though. Next chapter should be promising!
SpoilerSoul Society is old fashioned, as are the Shinigami, so not having seen guns prior to the Quincy showing up is logical enough. In the real world they haven't shown up much mainly because guns are illegal in Japan, whereas it's not illegal to own a sword.
Also, I doubt Gremmy is fully sane. Like chaotic stupid says, it might well be it's more his daydreams than his imaginations becoming reality. And if what you just happen to think of becomes reality, you'd likely stop seeing a difference between daydreams and reality. Gremmy is the living incarnation of schizophrenia, and therefore likely doesn't have straight, methodical and strategic thinking down pat like some other characters do. He is mostly looking calm at first because he has no reason to be angry and he always has had little contact with other people, as evidenced by what the other Quincy say about him. Then Kenpachi shows up and things get interesting, especially since this dude just is defying your daydreams, your reality. He's an abnormality in the reality of someone whose reality is already very abnormal. It's no wonder he might be going for the first best thing that pops into his head and lose his cool at the same time.
Plus, y'know, to finish an opponent you'd need to know what you need to win, and when you're up against someone whose abilities you don't know, that can be a tough job.Homebrewer's Signature | Avatar by Strawberries

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
I have a theory regarding why Gremmy is such a loser who can't use his super op power well:
SpoilerFirst off, he just likes playing with people. It's clear from how he mentions no one ever defies him in the Sternritter. He just wants to throw his power around. It's no fun to kill someone, but it is fun to turn their bones into cookies.
Secondly, the reason why, against someone like Kenpachi, he's not just immediately killing him like we know he can apparently do...that's Kenpachi's shikai. His shikai's power is to set up a field of battle lust that causes everyone but Kenpachi to start feeling the furious rage of bloodlust, and as such start fighting like an idiot, but as strong as possible to compensate.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Not so much the fun involved.
SpoilerHe's never actually FOUGHT anybody before. He has absolutely zero experience fighting ANY opponent, much less one that can actually challenge him.
By now Zaraki has fought and killed what... thousands of people?
Battle experience is a big thing, and the Sternritter has none of it.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
Theory time:
SpoilerKenpachi is actually a Quincy, or a Quincy/Shigami Hybrid. It makes sense because he never have a bankai and no matter how hard he tries he never will have one. He also have this overwhelming spirtual power that's surpressed by his eye-patch (which is actually made out of hollows). What is the supposed counter to Quincy power? Hollows.
Also remembering Kenpachi's fight vs Ichigo (rescue rukia arc), the manifestation of their spirtual power is eerily similar.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A_NpmY2QxNs from 7:15 onward where their spiritual power form faces and clash towards each other.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
SpoilerSo, why do people think he is about to take off his eyepatch?
At the end he said roughly "looks like you're having fun, that's good, he is too", and it looks like he held up his sword to indicate he was talking about it having fun.
He introduced it as a he, said it is enjoying the fight, next chapter should at least be him saying the name/doing whatever happens at that point.Engraved here is a rendition of an image of the Dwarf Fortress learning curve.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
To be fair, that's not unusual for shounen anime / manga. Dragon Ball Z, Saint Seiya, Shurato... Dragon Ball didn't start out that way, but around the time they were fighting Frieza, battles were decided solely by power and heroic resolve.
Even in manga with more variety in fighting styles and battle strategies, such as Rurouni Kenshin, Fist of the North Star and similar, the deciding factor usually was how good of an overall fighter a character was - Kenshin and Kenshiro both had a technique for nearly every situation, but most of the time they won because they were more skilled and experienced than their opponents, not because of a specific technique.
Basically, not every series can be JoJo's Bizarre Adventures. :-PLast edited by The Troubadour; 2014-04-08 at 05:47 AM.

Re: Bleach IX: This isn't even my final thread!
does anyone ever wonder what the series would be like if ichigo had straight up killed byakuya like he could have those hundreds of issues ago?
Spoiler
this kid seems mentally unstable. i would venture to guess he doesn't think "oh he's dead", he imagines stuff happening to people.
-rashi means "appearance of". the names are never quite perfect but i would hazard a guess at "masked", "faceless", or "unseen", something along those lines. also as a quible, kenpachi is always in shikai.Last edited by thubby; 2014-04-09 at 04:46 AM.

I've read Mangastream's version this time... But usually I'm reading on Mangareader. Is anyone else having issues with them loading images? I can read other mangas, but Naruto, Bleach and One Piece? Nope!
