Pssttt... I'm Baaaaaaaack..... You could even say, I'm Juha Back.

Anyway, Analysis Mode ENGAGE

So sorry I'm behind on doing these and my blogs, but a hospital stay, erratic work schedule, and pre-move shenanigans will tend to interrupt the insane musings of a nineteen-year-old on a fantasy series from Japan. As a result, this'll be kind of a combined analysis from the previous two weeks. To the ten of you that follow my blogs, I'm moving them to Thursdays, my time, starting in whenever I actually write this next one.

637 Analysis:

Okay, so Pernida is the Left Hand of the Soul King. Makes about as much sense as any of my theories. Raises the question though, is it operating under its own free will? Is it possessing a Quincy in a similar, though not identical. manner to Mimihagi inhabiting Ukitake? Does the actual left hand spirit have a name based upon the Japanese word for left, hidari?

Mayuri reveals that he didn't see that coming either, but figures that he can deal with it. Rather he has to, because A) Kenpachi so nobly sacrificed himself to the cause of defeating the monstrosity and B) YAY NEW RESEARCH SUBJECT.

Ol' W.C. Handy gets upset at Mayuri referring to it as an object, declaring it is not the Left Hand of the Soul King, but Pernida. It does so simply, implying that whatever it is, it is either dumb as a sack of hammers or being controlled and therefore lacking the full mental acuity that may be expected out of a severed limb.

638 Analysis:

Continuing from last week, Pernida declares that it is Pernida. Mayuri invokes the legitimate scientific principle of 'I found it, I name it' to counter this fact, before compromising and saying that Pernida can pick the name, but Mayuri picks the spelling. INB4 Pernida Parnkgjas becomes John Cena or Satoru Iwata.

W.C. Handy becomes enraged, I think, it's hard to determine emotions from sentient hands talking in badly translated Japanese-to-Engrish sentence fragments sometimes. Anyway, he determines that all he does not understand is bad for the Quincy, and since he identifies as Pernida and not as some grubby little mitten, he declares he will eliminate the bad thing. Stretching his nerves to stone, he creates a Giant Mothereffing Hand with which to beat the crap out of Mayuri. When Mayuri dodges, he smacks him with an additional hand before crushing him between the two.

Fortunately, Mayuri still has his Jabarakaina, or as I like to call it, the Splodey Dodgey Magic Pants, and deftly evades before plummeting to the ground. Seeking to evade Pernida's nervous touch, he unveils a fabulous new hairstyle which will protect him from harm. And also Hirenkyaku Shoes. Seriously Xil, how was your Song of the Chapter not Fairies Wear Boots by Black Sabbath?

Mayuri decides to make good on his promise to take some leftovers home for later by cutting off Pernida's pinky, thus adding a severed limb to the List of Characters With Severed Limbs category. Bravo. Pernida, being a magical left hand, displays a level of control over his lost pinkie, causing it to grow an eye and activate The Compulsory on Mayuri's arm. Mayuri, being ever the trooper, field stitches his wounds shut while also altering his nervous system's structure to prevent a repeat performance. Visibly sweating, he begins his counterattack.

Also worth mentioning, the title page for this chapter was hella terrifying.

That's all I have for these chapters. See you in a short time for my much delayed blog!

That's a Wrap!
