User blog:TVthePunisher/416 - Deicide 18, the End...Kubo must have used Suigetsu on me.

Because I'm sitting here, resting back in my computer chair and thinking to myself...what? Wait, what is Kubo doing now? We get a week longer to wait on hopefully a fight between Gin and Aizen, right? I mean that's what people were expecting...that or AT LEAST a few chapters worth of flashbacks. I don't know what I'm looking at...

Eh...where do I start? Rangiku's alive (obviously) and even though I might have thought of putting more into that subject...overall the chapter has hit me with a stalemate that I don't even CARE about the debate regarding her status having been deceased for the past few weeks. Lia or God stated it, we all knew deep down she was going to come back...but that's besides the point, she did the same as she's done so many times before: ran (or in this case, lept?) to a location where Gin was and finally reached him! If anything, Deicide to me was a starting line for Rangiku's marathon-run to get to Gin at the finish-line...and sadly, it's not kiss and make up...

Gin's eyes were open the entire chapter except for the flashbacks and while he's laying on the rubble, that's a good move on Kubo's part. Er...bad move? Gin's dead, and he better be listed as deceased "until otherwise stated" or else I will moan about the Rangiku subject ~_~; while she "appeared dead" but was obviously unconsious, Gin had his friggin arm ripped off and stabbed through the chest...plus he had a flashback moment where he's talking, might as well consider him dead, right? Alright, his status should be deceased.

Am I happy about it? No, Gin had so much more potential than to have an assassination attempt backfire on him and ultimately lead to a grisly, uncomfertable death. And of course Aizen didn't make matters better, as always he clammered on about how "everything was necessary and according to plan" for him to transcend Hollow and Shinigami. The flashback sequence didn't help things either...I am only straying off by a penny, but Bleach is now the Resident Evil of anime series (due to the growing plotholes). Is kubo seriously digging these things on purpose? He's changing the plot so much...from the Hogyoku being responsible for EVERYTHING in the human characters of the series, to now having his own Hogyoku made pre-Urahara...really? Oh but both were incomplete...

In Kubo's defense because I still love the series, it sort of makes sense. Apparently he fed his version tons and tons of tasty souls just to try and please it. No good, thing wasn't happy...why not feed it the other half of the puzzle to make it a whole? I don't know, my eye hurts so trying to continue thinking on it is going to give me a migrane...

Uh...what else is there? Random background characters, destruction...sad moment for the week and...ICHIGO?! WHAT, ICHIGO KUROSAKI?! The main hero of the series is here at last??? And he's looking kind of ...awesome. Kubo can redeem himself, with a new chapter set and what I'm really hoping for: someone to finally kick Aizen's ass without him having PLANNED IT BEFOREHAND!

It would be amazing to see Ichigo pull a ...Ichigo again! Show up and completely rile the current baddie of the day that he has to fight, shock a now God-complexed's Aizen and hopefully give him a great ass-beating. I already knew, just like with the Bankai training, that they were going to skip the whole Tensa Shirosaki thing and will probably go into it during this epic showdown. Like whenever he's going to use the ability of Final Getsuga Tensho (whatever that may be), we'll see what transpired during the many chapters of non-Ichigo.

Anyways, comments are welcome...I'm praying for an amazing chapter-set over the next few weeks...please kick Aizen's ass Ichigo, please....
