Birthday of Disappointment
It's still months away, but my birthday is on December 7. Not only was this day that the attack on Pearl Harbor took place back in World War II, it is also the day the first airplane flight was taken by the Wright Bros. at Kitty Hawk. Nice stuff, eh? But lets get down to the Bleach side of things.

I've heard of so many people sharing their birthdays with popular or cool characters, and I was surprised when the MASKED databook revealed a character that shared my birthday. Unfortunately, I got the shaft. I share it with none other than Menoly. I mean, seriously?! Of all the characters, it had to be her? I mean, heck, I would have even settled for Loly or Tesra, but MENOLY? *sigh* So... disappointing...

About me
Well, I promised myself that I would put more work into this page once I hit over a thousand edits, so here goes:

If you've seen another Mohrpheus somewhere on the internet, chances are, it's me. I've been using it as my internet alias for a long time now, even before I got into manga. In case anybody is interested, the name is actually a portmanteau of my surname, Mohr (*gasp*), and Orpheus, one of my favorite characters from Greek mythology (as well as one of my favorite Personas, if ya know what I mean). Nobody here's ever done it, but if I hear just one "red pill, blue pill" joke, I swear that I'll explode. Believe me, it has happened before.

I have been a fan of Bleach for a few years now, having first read the series back when Ichigo and Grimmjow were having their final battle - I know, that was a pretty late place to start. Since then, I've caught up and have gained a fanatical interest in the series, though not to the point of playing dress-up and embarrassing myself in front of the hot cosplayers. I'm down for a decent roleplay though, and once I overcome my massive writer's block, I might even try my hand at fanfiction. I have not expanded my horizons much with manga, having stuck with Jump manga series, such as Naruto (recently dropped to second favorite), Dragon Ball Z (could have gone without the Buu saga), Death Note (Near is awesome), and One Piece (literally skipped the first 400 chapters for months). I love discussing the details associated with them; the Bleach universe happens to be my most favorite. It was actually the series' use of different languages that first caught my attention; I am of both Japanese and Ecuadorian descent, so seeing both languages being utilized really intrigued me. Obviously, I found the idea of contributing to an encyclopedia about the series very appealing.

When it comes to articles on the site, I am a stickler for all sorts of things, including accuracy, spelling, grammar, and stuff that just doesn't "look right." I'm never afraid to debate on a topic, but just keep in mind that however stubborn I am, nothing is ever personal.

Bleach Terms to Keep in Mind
I've been kind of bored of having an almost empty User page on here for over a year, so I've finally decided to add something to it. Below is a list of fan terms that refer to certain actions or events that seem to be rather prominent in Bleach. A few might even be of my own creation, but who knows. I'll continue to add new terms as they pop up in my head or on the site, and when I just feel like it.

Aizen'd - I think we all know what this one means by now; it seems to be quite the pet peeve on the Wiki nowadays, especially since the Deicide series began. The way I have interpreted it, being Aizen'd contains three vital steps.

Step 1 (The Finishing Blow!): And so, our hero manages to catch all of us off guard by dealing a decisive blow to Aizen himself. Hitsugaya did it with the help of his fellow Shinigami, while Gin did it with the help of his Bankai's awesome secret ability (which Kubo apparently cannot make up his mind about). The look of shock on Aizen's face is priceless, as well as a little... uncharacteristic? Nah, it has to be real, right? After all of that set up, their efforts cannot possibly fail...

Step 2 (WTF...): ...or maybe they can. This step can be alternatively called "Total BS" or "Kubo's Horrible Writing Skills", depending on who's looking at it. As soon as it seems like Aizen is defeated, he pulls some crazy trick out of his sleeve which renders the good guy's efforts moot. In Hitsugaya's case, Aizen's infamous "...Shit" moment is casually interrupted when Aizen reveals that Hitsugaya has actually impaled - who else? - Hinamori. Go figure. Gin ends up getting the real nasty end of the deal. After a century of scheming, Gin decides to attack Aizen while the latter is stronger than he's ever been before. Genius. So perhaps we should have seen it coming when Aizen suddenly rose from the ashes of pseudo-defeat unscathed, with a fabulous new butterfly form. Yeah. Right.

Step 3 (The Shaft): Because Aizen has to give it to everybody who seems to beat him, sooner or later. As if the shock and humiliation the good guys got from Step 2 weren't enough, Aizen has to cut open every single one of them, just because he can. I'm sure he'd throw even more salt on their wounds, but he usually gets interrupted but another good guy. In which case, let's start back from Step 1...

Kensei'd - I have no idea who first coined this term, but over several months it has become rather popular across the Wiki. I wish I could type a long, step-by-step scenario about how getting Kensei'd works, like I did with getting Aizen'd, but it's just flat out impossible. Literally. You see, the thing about getting Kensei'd is that there are no steps. The character in question busts out all of these moves, looking like a total badass (Kensei!), and then charges towards the antagonist, leaving us with a huge cliffhanger. A few chapters pass, and we're all shaking in anticipation for the series to return to what looks like it would be an awesome battle. But alas, we are denied - the antagonist (Wonderweiss...) shows up at another battle, giving no indication of what the hell happened to the good guy. Obviously, Kensei got the living crap beat out of him, because Wonderweiss interrupted Yamamoto's fight without a scratch on him, with an idiotic grin on his face (as always). And, as of yet, we have absolutely NO idea what happened to Kensei; he could be dead for all we know. To sum it all up, getting Kensei'd is the act of being defeated off-screen, with only vague indications of the aftermath being given.

NOTE: Personally, I don't consider the whole Kisuke/Isshin/Yoruichi vs. Aizen thing an example of Kensei'd; for one thing, less than a chapter passed between the point where Aizen said he'd beat the crap out of them and where they were all lying on the ground. Also, the huge explosion we saw behind Ichigo at least gave us some indication of what happened to them; sure, Kensei got a big boom, but that was the last we ever saw of him. Not to mention that at least Isshin was able to waltz away from the aftermath.

Sado'd - I've never heard of this one before, so I am pretty sure that I made it up. If I didn't, then sue me. Anyway, this is just another way to suffer a humiliating in the series we all know as Bleach. Of course, everybody here knows that Chad has to be one of the most abused side characters in the series. Quite frankly, he just can't compare to his companions. That would be fine and dandy if left alone, but no, Kubo just has to get the poor guy's hopes up. Here's the gist of it: Chad has this horrible habit of getting the crap beat out of him. But that's not even it.

So we see him face off against Gantenbainne, easily one of the strongest opponents he has ever faced. Chad spends the first several pages of this battle getting thrown around like a rag doll, making us wonder just how weak that idiot Demoura was. However, cue a convenient dust cloud and a flashback, Chad emerges with a deus ex machina upgrade to his arm. Following the rule of new upgrades, Chad proceeds to make Gantenbainne eat dirt, before the latter whips out one of the stupidest looking released forms in the series. And so again, it seems like our freakishly tall hero is going down once more... but wait! Cue a(nother) convenient dust cloud, and suddenly Chad's other arm is decked out with spiritual powers! You know we all thought the same thing - this is the end of Chad's losing streak, he's finally going to stop being useless and start kicking some serious tail! And so he did, tattooing Afroman against the wall with one of the coolest-looking attacks ever. Ah, yes, life must have felt good for Chad then and there. He finally knew what it felt like to be awesome. Next thing we know, some freakishly tall and skinny Arrancar pops up. Chad takes one good look at his new foe's giant axe-thing and makes one of the most infamous deductions in the series: "Hm, he must be slow, I bet if I'm fast enough, I could take him out with single hit." And so with just one punch, Sado OHKOs Nnoitra - at least that's how it was supposed to go in his head. Instead, his attack does nothing; next thing we know, Chad's on the ground, in a pool of his own blood. And so, after all of that, all of that time that Kubo bothered to use to make Chad seem like a decently strong character, he trolls the poor fool and leaves him in the gutter for hundred chapters.

But hey, let's be fair, it wouldn't be much of a Bleach term if I only had one example. Even our main character is subject to this abuse. After beating Grimmjow, having extended his Hollow mask time by several times more than any other Vizard through some unexplained means, Ichigo skips digit and faces off against Ulquiorra. Ooh, this is looking good - in their last fight, Ulquiorra literally beat the Bankai out of Ichigo, yet now we see our orange-haired hero fighting him on equal ground. But wait, what is this? He whips out the Hollow mask (now with more stripes!) and proceeds to overwhelm the poor Espada. And then they break through the dome. This is where all hell breaks loose - Ulquiorra releases (did Ichigo even think about this?), and one page later, Ichigo nearly has his head lopped off. Everything goes downhill from there. Batman knocks him back and forth, telling him to give up, and then shoots him with some black laser beam even stronger than that stupidly huge one Grimmjow had used (which kinda sucked anyway). Ulquiorra could have won there and then, but instead, he decides to troll Ichigo by transforming again, as if he weren't strong enough already. By the end of the chapter, Ichigo has a huge hole in his chest. So, you see, kids? Even the main character got Sado'd worse than Sado.

Kisuke'd - I made this one up on the spot, the second I finished reading Deicide23. Who cares if this one only happened once in the entire series? It's a first, and it's definitely worthy of being on the list - Kisuke is just that awesome. To sum it all up, getting Kisuke'd is essentially the antithesis to getting Aizen'd. We have had characters to attempt to troll Aizen before (i.e. Shinji and Toshiro), but they all ended up failing miserably. But not Kisuke; this guy's got so much brains, that his brawn has brains... if that even makes sense. Then again, it doesn't have to. What else could I say? The guy was one step ahead of Aizen - that's one hell of an accomplishment.

Finishing up with that rant (and starting another), just how does one get Kisuke'd? Well, you have to be Aizen to figure that out, because Kisuke had the common courtesy to inform him that he specifically invented this trope Kidou to troll to seal him away. Basically, just as Aizen is about to pull the usual BS he does when it seems like he's been beaten, his transformation epic fails, with Kisuke showing up to kindly inform him that he is screwed. Cue some shouting from Aizen and a flash of pretty lights, and next thing you know, he vanishes, leaving nothing but a couple of swizzle sticks behind.

Is Aizen dead? No. Is he gone for good? Maybe. Will he come back? Who knows? In the end, it doesn't matter - Aizen got a taste of his own medicine.
