Random Bleach Adventure of the day
So new section! Recently, I find myself relating my daily life to random Bleach things! Or simply thinking of Bleach for no reason at all... And I wanted to post them somewhere, but using the Blog would be off-topic-ing myself, which would be pretty dumb, so I decided to use this (Tinni inspired me with her Random thought of the moment). Old posts will be removed and archived in my PC, I can't just clutter my Userpage.

Beware: Things said here are completely random, you have been warned.

Today I went downtown, and among other things I visited a local Anime shopping center. See, it's gonna be my birthday soon and I don't expect to receive any cool present, so I'm gonna buy it for myself. I was thinking of buying the Bleach SOULS guide, or any Bleach Artbook I could find (because getting official stuff here is really difficult), so I'm scanning shops to see what I can find. Point is the store I went to had the original All Color But the Black Artbook and I was like OMU but told myself "not gonna buy it, I've seen those pics too many times!" Still, the shopkeeper insisted on taking it out of the plastic and letting me see it and I FANGASM'ED! It's much more beautiful than I ever thought! The colors are so alive! And then the guy told me the price... I must be grateful of my own poverty, I never have much money. And I had to keep repeating to myself the "I want the SOULS, I want the SOULS" or I would have ended up going to the ATM for some cash from my scholarship (bad thing!). Sigh. I should've just run away with it... it was so perfect.

While I was on the street, trying to figure out something to eat (totally starving!) I saw this guy passing by... and he was wearing a white apron that said "Barragan" in big bold black letters. 'Nuff said.

Any comment can be made at my Talk page and will be answered in my Talkpage (so as to not clutter anyone else's Talkpages with randomness) not that I think anyone will read this. It's too random.

About me
No idea of what I should add here. Just got tired of seeing my name in red letters. Pretty lame, I know. I promise I'll write something at some point.

Just in case you were wondering, no, I won't delete that one. I think it reveals a really silly part of my personality. And I think it's fun.

Well, for the record. Lia Osaka, Lia Schiffer, Lia Lawliet, Lia Nekoi, and possibly 90% of the Lia's you'll find out there, will be almighty me. You'll find me as Lia Lawliet on Anime Paper and DA, Lia-Saber-Shinku on Gendou.com, Lianekoishinkurukia (all damned names were picked!) on Minitokyo, Lia_Osaka92 on FF.Net, Lia_Nekoi on Planet Renders, and Lia Schiffer here and on Mangafox. Yeah, I'm pretty easy to track. And I don't care.

I finally decided to do something here. So I'll start saying that my imaginary friend says that I've got mental problems, but don't mind her, she's just jealous.

I'm just another Bleach fan. OK, that was a BIG lie. I'm an obsessive Bleach fan. There, better. I met the series when the manga was licensed in my country and one of my friends bought volume 1. The more episodes I watched, the more addicted to it I became. I came to a point in which I called my brother (who had bought the anime) and DEMANDED that he brought me the next DVD (after Renji, Hitsugaya and Rangiku release their limiters).

I love chocolate and Bleach. And cats. I'm Mexican, so English is not my mother language. I apologize beforehandedly for any mistake I may have during editing. Also, being a native Spanish speaker, I'll try to help with this Arrancar saga and all the techniques and grammar as much as I can. And for the record, Sonido is NOT stressed on the "i". Sheesh.

I've been angry at Tite Kubo recently for various reasons (beware for spoilers)


 * First thing was Ulquiorra's dead. It just wasn't meant to happen. It just proved that Ichigo as a human isn't strong enough, and that he needs to rely in his beast side to defeat Ulquiorra. And the whole thing of dying by succumbing to his wounds? Then what was the point of the High-Speed Regeneration? No vital organ was damaged. And it was soooo UlquiHimeIchi that I wanted to cry (in frustration). And like... Kubo wants everyone to hate Orihime. Come on! You just can't like someone who screams "HELP ME KUROSAKI-KUN!" and who has spent a hundred chapters just wailing "Kurosaki-kun". It gets annoying at some point. Worst of it all is that the bastard (Kubo) was too busy trying to revindicate Orihime to take the time for Ulquiorra's background. I'm hoping we'll see a special chapter for him on volume 41. It's so sad to see he's one of the few Espada without a "History" section on his page!! Especially since the others are like... Yammy and Zommari? And possibly Harribel (depends on next chapter)


 * Second thing was Yammy Cero Espada shit. It seems like the dude was out of ideas and said. Well... I'm out of plot twists. Let's take the most stupid character ever and make him the strongest shit. Be ready, next time, Orihime will learn Bankai and Ganju will be the King of Soul Society

*impressive techniques on Harribel's part. I was expecting much more from that awesome Resurreccion and the TERCERA ESPADA nonetheless. Hitsugaya's clearly not as strong as Ichigo, yet he's defeating Harribel easier than Ichi did with Ulquiorra. And the flower thing? Could've been more original. It was like "Let's put Ruri'iro Kujaku in the freezer and see what happens?!" The ice clone was also so... absurd. I mean... Kubo... please. Let's get ovet this "No one dies in Bleach". We, Arrancars demand Shinigami blood to pay for Ulquiorra.
 * Third thing was the Hitsugaya-Harribel battle. It's not the kind of battle I was expecting. It was pure physical with a bunch of not-so-

Gods that felt so good! I really needed to spit it out of my system.
 * Las thing is that Kubo seems to be forgetting what made Bleach the most magical to me. The background. Since Grimmjow, we have barely seen any background, except for the TBtP (which was pure AWESOMENESS) and the Nnoitra-Nel flashbacks. I was so looking forward to the Ichigo-Ulquiorra fight to see his Resurreccion AND his background. And the only memories he gave us were of the stupid Heart shit. Szayel's background? Obviously too much to ask. Yeah, he got kicked out of the Espada at some point, why? And how did he get his position back?.
 * Then, have you noticed Grimmjow's "Synopsis" section? It's michroscopic! And he's one of the main antagonists!! Stupid Kubo.
 * Another thing! If Harribel does die after Aizen's attack I'll be so FURIOUS. Stupid sexist Kubo! The only two Espada girls get defeated without having a decent fight? Nelliel was about to kick Nnoitra's sorry ass and she 'poofed'! And now Harribel will die just like that, without fighting back at all? And Lisa and Hiyori ain't getting any power-show-off fight? That's sorta offensive.

What else?... Does anyone else think that the new text editor is about the same thing as the old one? Well, that's my first impression, who knows?

I'm a rabid fanfiction reader and writer. And I love Yaoi. I love vectoring too, but it's really tiring. And this new editor thingy is messing with my PC's brain. But I'll give that the image placing is much easier. And that's kinda it for now.

On another note, I love how popular my blog is getting. It's like, I post my crazy stuff about the weekly chapters every thursday, and in five hours there are 20 comments, that's so awesome! I remember the first entries only got like 1 comment so now I feel so important XD. Especially when I see my blog on the "Pages with most editors" and it has the "On fire!" thingy! It looks so cool! Man, I can be so random at times... Like, the other day I broke a coat hanger and mom found out, so I told her "Well... that was my fault *grabs another one from bed* but to make it up to you, I produced a new one with ALCHEMY!" (I admit I've watched too much FMA recently)

My contributions
I used to do the statistical Trivia (the only character that, one of the few who, blah blah), but now they're considered junk (too bad, I actually liked those), so my contributions are not that great deal. Mostly, I check other users' edits and keep an eye for vandalism, I also correct any typo I catch (not many, since I don't read the articles very often). I also spend a lot of time in Discussion pages lately answering questions and such. I also used to answer questions about Spanish translations, but now that all Arrancars are done for, I don't think I'll be doing that anymore. But I do take a peek to the Espada Talk page evey once in a while to make sure no one has "discovered" that Tite Kubo doesn't speak Spanish, and that Harribel's Tres should be Tercera and that Espada is a feminine noun so Nnoitra's Quinto should go Quinta. At this point I'm not sure if I should laugh or just bang my head in the wall. Just because some of us speak Spanish doesn't mean Tite Kubo does, people should get over it, honestly.

My biggest contribution so far was adding the pictures for Ulquiorra's page in the Arrancar and beginning of Hueco Mundo arc. I had to rewatch like 10 episodes or so and took like zillions of pics, then stared at them for hours before deciding which ones were the best to be placed on the article. It was actually a hard work, from finding the right episodes, rewatching them, getting the right shots (there was a point in which I watched the same scene over and over and over again because I missed the perfect shot) picking the best and most relevant ones, but it was a pretty satisfying job. It might not be a big deal compared to what other people do around here, but I'm really proud at myself, especially since now my beloved Ulquiorra's page looks more complete and full of color.

My contributions

Ulquiorra Cifer
I think my nick speaks for itself. Ulquiorra isn't just my favorite Arrancar but my favorite character of all Bleach (and all anime, possibly). Maybe he reminds me a bit of L from Death Note, and that's why I like him so much (I had a huge crush on L for a pretty LONG time). But I positively think that it was his eyes that caught me. I mean, he seems so dead and his eyes are so beautifully impossibly green and alive... And his Resurreccion, both of them, are on my list of "most amazing, beautiful and perfect things I've seen". And his hair grew longer! That made me oh, so HAPPY! I love long hair! And yes, I'm positively furious at Tite Kubo. I think we could've seen much more of him, I wanted to know more of his powers. I found it pretty funny when he missed the first shot with his Lanza del Relámpago (I saw some joke about that on DA). I also got a bit mad with the change of spelling on his surname, I liked Schiffer better. And for the record, ULQUIHIME is a damned ILLUSION! The Ash-Heart scenes were pure gross fanservice. Ulquiorra belongs to Grimmjow and Grimmjow alone (and myself, sometimes). But really, leaving fangirlism and OTP's aside, I think Ulquiorra doesn't fit with Hime. That's my last word on it. I also loved his outfit, it was awesome! Especially the cloak-like thingy.

Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
Lia loves cats. Grimmjow's a panther. Lia loves long-haired men. Grimmjow's hair goes crazy when he turns into a Cat. Do the math. Besides, his hands turn into PAWS. PAWS! You've gotta love that. I'm also dying to see more of him. I strongly believe that he's still alive... somewhere... eating Whiskas (fine, kidding). His outfit must be one of the hottest of all Espada. I hope we see more of him, I've noticed we don't really get to see Ichigo's enemies really fighting 'coz Ichigo goes Hollow and they lose rather easily, and too soon for us to see their true abilities.

Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck & Nnoitra Jiruga
While Nel's child form annoyed me to some extent (though I found her a bit funny), her adult form immediatly took the first place of hot girls in Bleach. The way they showed us her 3 was one of the most shocking scenes of the whole series. I loved her Resurreccion, I've always had some fondness for Centaurs. I'm still waiting to see what her role in this war will be, I refuse to believe that it's over for her after fighting Nnoitra. Poofing her back into a child was an epic fail!!. Her love-hate relationship with Nnoitra is one of the most interesting in the series, and I feel sad that they didn't elaborate any further on it. Nnoitra himself is a pretty interesting character, his battle with Kenpachi was pure awesomeness, and his Resurreccion was amazing. Another character from whom I would've loved to see something more. I quote the manga from the pages where he died "Power, he desired. Weakness, he despised. And now, he falls".

Byakuya Kuchiki
Remember what I said about long, black hair? Yeah, simple math. But leaving hair aside, the combination of his kenseikan and his ginpaku kazahana no uzuginu make him look really elegant and... I dunno, he's just got something (and I suffer from a scarf-fetiche since Kai Hiwatari). They way he speaks and the way he moves caught me since the beginning. Senbonzakura is on my top three zanpakuto (along with Benihime and Sode no Shirayuki). The Senkei and Shukei Hakuteiken are amazing techniques that match Byakuya perfectly! When I read the Pendulum arc, I absolutely LOVED him. He's possibly the most gorgeous teen I've EVER seen. And that smile (look over there &gt;&gt;) they gave him on the anime was the best gift I could've received. The way he protects Rukia while keeping his cold attitude is really lovely. And that thing he told Zommari "I've rescinded your right to live because you aspired to cut my pride with such a dull blade." That was so sweet! (and I'm not into ByakuRuki, by the way). His tag games with Yoruichi are also hilarious. You've gotta love him.

Renji Abarai
I know he's close to being one of the weakest characters, but they way he was introduced, and especially his background make him make it impossible not to love him. I think Tite Kubo has been a real d*ck with Renji, he didn't get to fight a Privaron Espada, thus never had the chance to prepare himself for his battle with Szayel. I mean, he's a Lieutenant who achieved bankai, and yet he appears to be weaker than even Rukia (but I consider Rukia to be of lieutenant level, for the record). I like his relationship with Zabimaru, I get the feeling that he has a deep bond with his zanpakuto. His personality is also very attractive and cool, he's the kind of character that you just can't hate. I think he deserves a chance to have a good fight, 'coz the one against Szayel was simply not fair.

Rukia Kuchiki
Rukia has proved to be one of the most powerful female Shinigamis (not counting Unohana, Soi Fon, Yoruichi or the Vizards). She managed to defeat the 9th Espada and the captain of the Exequias, while four lieutenants couldn't handle Allon. I strongly believe that Ukitake is saving the Lieutenant position for her. I also love her personality, she's so funny! Yet, she's a determined fighter, she cares for her friends and doesn't look down on others just because she's a noble. She doesn't need to have huge boobs to be called beautiful and her eyes seem so strong and gorgeous. Her zanpakutoh is also part of my top three, for it's gorgeous and very powerful.

Kisuke Urahara
I think you must give him the credit for the most misterious character in Bleach. He's had a lot of screentime, we've seen a lot of his past, and the main storyline spins around him, Aizen and Ichigo, yet we know almost nothing about him. Whatever he's got in mind remains a mistery to all of us. And Benihime is my top favorite zanpakutoh since Urahara said she was "Not nice". I'm dying to see her [Benihime's] bankai and her spirit form. Those little bits of his serious side that we've seen, when he apologized to Ichigo and on TBtP, along with how funny he can be, give him an extra point.

Shinji Hirako
I think I must be sincere about this one. I barely noticed Shinji's existence before I read Pendulum. But then I saw his beautiful long hair and I was instantly lovestruck. And so, I started to pay more attention to his personality and what he said and how he acted and he immediately became my second favorite character. One of the things I like the most about him is how he dresses. His style is unique among the Bleach characters, elegant yet trendy. My favorite scene is when he discovers Aizen spying on him and Urahara, and Aizen asks "Since when did you know, sir?", and he answered "Since ya were in yer momma's womb". And his shikai came to top my list, it's just gloriously perfect, the design is amazing, and its powers are really unique, just like Shinji himself. That inverted world makes me think so much of Alice in Wonderland... Not to mention that, with L and Ulquiorra gone, I needed to re-focus all my crazy, fangirlish love. And Shinji came to be the next victim fortunate target. I loved it how he was the first one to draw blood out of Aizen, at least he got that before Ichigo came to Karakura to steal away his battle and be hopeless and useless. So you can imagine how disappointed and mad I was when he was so easily taken down and with such a lame excuse. I'm still hoping he'll get up and show more of that amazing zanpakuto of his. He deserves more screentime!!

Yoruichi Shihōin
Along with Nel, Yoruichi tops the list for "Hottest girl in Bleach". Her golden eyes are just irresistable and she's simply beautiful! And she's a cat (I think I mentioned cats earlier?). But other than that, her personality is simply charming, and that she could take on Yammy with her bare hands was totally amazing. Her relationship with Urahara, I think, is quite unique among the series, and I'm eager to see them fighting together. I also loved how she mocks Byakuya, it's just hilarious! As for all the exiled Shinigamis, I'm dying to see her fighting for real and with all of her power.

Best of Bleach
There are a series of moments or just "things" that happen that I consider to be the best of all Bleach.

Turn Back the Pendulum mini arc

The whole arc was pure awesomeness! Just having Shinji with his beautiful, long hair was enough for me to love all of it. The whole series of events was amazing, and I kept screaming with every page. Seeing Shuuhei, Byakuya and Gin as kids was so cute! And I think we learned a lot of the characters through it. We finally discover why was Urahara banished to earth and a lot about Tessai and Yoruichi. We also got to know the Vizards, and kind of feel and understand their hatred for Shinigamis.

Ulquiorra vs Ichigo fight

It was AWESOME. Seeing Ulquiorra fighting for real was a total blessing. I loved all of it! Except for how it ended. I loved Ulquiorra's power and his Resurreccion and Segunda Etapa. The drawing was amazing and all of his dialogues sent chills down my spine. The "This is the true form of despair" is my personal favorite.

Byakuya vs Zommarri fight I think this fight showed us much more about Byakuya than any other. His quick-thinking, his power and his pride. His personality and the extent of his rage. And yet another power for Senbonzakura. Byakuya combined the raw power of his zanpakuto with high-level Kido, something that Shinigamis rarely do. And I loved how he said he "didn't like to use it because that woman taught it to him" speaking of the Utsusemi.

Favorite manga vignettes
The Deathbringer Numbers

Just how Halibel reveals her mask and Stark's smile when he says "I'm sorry to disappoint you. I'm the Primera". Enough said, I was like WTF!

The Sloth p.14

I was astonished and I screamed and went all crazy. Simply awesome.

Azul-Blood Splash When Halibel cut through the fake Hitsugaya. That was amazing! I'm not a rabid Hitsugaya fan, but I think he's cute, and kinda sensed from the beginning of the fight that Shiro-chan wasn't strong enough to defeat Halibel. But my jaw still dropped to the floor when I saw it.

Countdown to the End: 0

Oh god I nearly cried there. How Rukia thanked Byakuya for not looking at her, thus not pitying her. That was soooo IchiRuki! I loved it!

Hoshi to norainu (A star and a Stray Dog)

I loved Renji's hair when it was set free and he screamed in despair after his defeat. That was so... touching. I started liking him at that moment

Fervorous Ferocious

That last page, with Nnoitra locking eyes with Nel and that last sentence "Weakness he despised, power he desired, and now... he falls". I shivered. I decided I loved Nnoitra after that.

The Blade and Me

The whole Urahara-Ichigo fight was amazing, but the fire in Urahara's eyes when he threatened to kill Ichigo was so scary! Though the vignette that I really love the most is the one in which Ichigo stops Benihime with his crumbling zanpakuto and Urahara says that Benihime is "not nice". I liked it because it kind of revealed some of his personality, as zanpakuto's are supposed to be similar to their Shinigamis

The Bestial

That's gotta be one of the most memorable panels in HISTORY. Shuuhei piercing Tosen's throat with Kazeshini, that black picture, those shadows, the feeling, made my skin crawl so good. That's the good old feeling from Bleach. Too bad the guy ruined it with that stupid explosion, but that beautiful panel is one of the most amazing pieces of art I've seen in quite some time. It's hard to describe what it made me feel at the moment, I think I screamed, and I think I went so crazy in the blogs.

Ignited

Shinji! OMU did I love this! "Yokoso sakasama no sekai e" (welcome to the inverted world) I loved that so much!!! (and I hunted for those RAW so MUCH to find out the japanese) That panel of Shinji standing upside down in his inverted world, finally revealing his true power. My Ulqui, this was one of the most marvelous moments ever!!! And of course, the fact that he became the first person to actually injure Aizen made this SO special. Not to mention that I loved Sakanade, it's so beautiful
