Bleach 561&562 combo review

Hohoho! As a christmas present, Miel gives you late reviews! Be delighted!!!

First part: chapter 561

I haven't read such an amazing chapter in a very long time! I l o v e d it.

So, it looks like The Quincy what was his name again??? wins. He beat Kensei and this is something amazing. Our Musculed Captain was sure that he's going to win, or at least tried to act like that. But it came out that The Quincy really is a powerful enemy. 

So Kensei died. Not really, of course. Sadly, Bleach is kinda mainstream and Kensei can't really die, but if he does - it'd be soemthing amazing.

Also i love when The Quincy says 'Guess I don't even need to do the ten count.'. It's a quite cool, as for him, line and it suits his image.

OKAY OKAY MIEL DON'T FAINT MIEL 

I love Rose. He's been in my top characters since very long but... Oh god. Now. Now. God. Shut up. I'm going to stop fangirling and try to write something with sense.

So, let's focus on the screenshot I've just put here. The badassness of Rose when he kills poor James is enoromous. You can feel his pain and the coldness which was caused by Kensei's failure. He's been friends with Kensei and all the Visordes for a very long time and they've experienced much together.

Look, he's been just staying there and staring at Kensei's fight, not wanting to interrupt, but when Kensei's out he just came in all like 'lol you thought you'd seen the last of me?' . He has to feel traumatized but look - he's so calm, he knows what he has to do, what he should do. The way he says his cool line and the fact how easily he cut James is like saying 'I am the smart one, I know how to win, Kensei is kinda stupid that he didn't to the stuff I've just done'. And oh god. Lokk at how he changed in a one chapter:

he wasn't even important then! 

But it's not only Rose - James is worth being descried by me too.

In his last words he asks his master for help - it says much about their relationship. They seem to be pretty close with each other. Even if The Quincy sees only 'an innocent fan' in James and needs him only for being more self-confident and stronger, it still makes him emotionally attached to him. And James is really devoted - I like this type of characters.

SO I MAY BE A LITTLE EXCITED 

OH GOD GOD GOD IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL DRAMATIC POETIC PERFECT I COULD MAKE A SEPARATE POST TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH DO I LOVE ROSE'S BANKAI I'M DYING GUYS HOLD ME

I don't want to screen all the pages, so I'll just mention the fact I love the way this bankai works - all the elements. It may be illusion, but at some point illusions become real - I mean, who cares that the fire and water aren't real as long ad you feel them real? That why I find this bankai a bankai of a genius. Very powerful.

I love the names of all the acts - they could be just named 'water, fire' but it's much more beautiful, typical to Rose.

Also, man, Rose looks beautiful while using his bankai, so proud and confident.

And this moment was a very critical moment for Bleach. It was one of the least mainstream moments in this manga. Let's be honest - Bleach isn't the most mainstream shonen manga, but it isn't extremely original too. Most of the unusual moments you can feel after thinking about them for a long time.

But here we have something really amazing - Rose was showing his super cool awesome powers for like few pages and suddenly The Quincy defended himself. It isn't even the 'haha i didn't fail' thing, the fact that Rose couldn't show the best part of his attack is shocking. Because seriously, it's a very popular trick, but the roles reversed here. Usually, the good one doesn't let the bad one show the best part of the attack. But here, the bad one has more luck than the good one. If I can say 'good' and 'bad', remembering the fact that The Quincy calls all the Shinigami 'villains'.

So yes, I find it amazing.

So, kids, everytime you have a sudden desire to tell your enemy how your biggest power works because you think (s)he is stupid and can't think logically so (s)he won't use these information against you think about that Rose did the same and ended up like that:

the chapter ended, Rose died and than - Renji arrived!

- that's like all, if it comes to 561st chapter. Very good one. Oh, man very good one. I even find Renji's line bishy. And if you don't mind, let me live a link to one of my Bleach Challenge Days, when I  wrote about Rose.

TIME FOR 562ND CHAPTER'S REVIEW!

And I really hoped they'll die. Well, there is still an option... A small, little option...

I like Renji but, ugh... If you read my blog long enough you know that I hate when characters are too strong. There are expections, of course. I love Aizen's power and I want him to be the most powerful forever, I hate when characters try to equal him. I'm quite okay with villains being powerful, because it usually makes everything less mainstream. I'm okay with captains being powerful, because, well, captains. I also like the idea of previous captains being more powerful than the current ones - e.g. I'd like Unohana to win with Zaraki and i stupidly belive she's more powerful than he. But I don't like vice-captains and all the low ranks becoming better than their masters. Okay, (almost) every captain was a vice-captain at times and everybody's training, becoming better but I prefer them to stay worse than their bosses.... Hihi. 

So I'm angry because Renji is too strooooong ~

does the fact that she needed two caps to blink make it an renruki moment i hope yes

I love James because James is like, the personification of all the feels that fans have. Even cut in half, totally broke and depressed - we will lvoe our characters! We won't die until we read last chapter!

NATURE AND LOGIC IS NOTHING FOR US.

THERE IS NO SCIENCE IN DEVOTION

And the moment when Superstar's eardrums repair from nothing, just becase James applaused him. Don't you think that Tite is joking? Like, he's trying to make a joke out of all this moments in Bleach and all the other comics when characters who had no chances suddenly do something, just because they have many fans and their death/injury/sth would low the position of the series in a ranking? Look, they even are drawn as superhero and his helper, all created in a typical comic style.

-

Oh Renji, you can try, but it will never ever be as cool as at the first time

:-)

I really love this fight, because... It may be all done in a funny, jokingly way, Super Star and James may be just a caricatures, but I still experience the emotional bond between them. I wrote it earlies, that it may be just the fact that James makes The Quincy more confident and brings him power, but it still is beautiful. And I deeply belive that Superstar did like James as a person too. Well, there are no dramatic caps with Superstar saying that James is just a toy or a weapon or anything. On the one hand - he appreciated James, on the other - if he had said cold stuff about him, it'd make fans think that he actually likes him more.

What I wanted to say is that his fight is REALLY amazing, not because it's interesting - sometimes it isn't - but because it's totally different. The Quincy really believes in that he's the hero. All the other villains in Bleach show as that they think they're good but not in such a histerical and insane way as Superstar does. Maybe it's because Superstar want to prove something to himself? Maybe Superstar is one of only few villains in Bleach who questions his 'goodness' and he tries to convience himself about that he isn't bad and killing shinigami is okay? It'd make quite much sense, because the fact that he owes James makes us understand that Superstan isn't very self-confident and he needs applause, love. Maybe it's not even self-confidence thing, but he needs to be accepted by people around him. James may be a metaphore of Superstar needing people by his side. He wouldn't be able to fight without James both in reality and as a metaphore - because James heals his wounds by telling him that he's cool and loved. I can see some sense there.

A bishy way to end a review.

Also sorry not sorry, it's quite a long post and I have no patience to read it again - there may be more mistakes than usual. I hope you are able to read it and I didn't write down my messy thoughts the exact same way as I have them in my head.

Things I Learned from Bleach 561

Never tell your opponent how your attacks work or the secrets to them.  If you do he/she will find out what to do to get the upper-hand, and you may even get a star-shaped hole in your body from a freakin’ “hero” laser beam…..

Don’t ask…….

Bleach Chapter 561 Review

This week we saw two more Captains get taken out, a new bankai was revealed, and Renji finally arrives on the scene.

We pick up right where we left off in 560. Kensei emerges from the rubble to renew his brawl with the Sternritter, even though his efforts are useless due to the creepy little cheerleader for the Sternritter. Just as Kensei is defeated and you're thinking "Where the hell is Rose?!" we see the Captain of the 3rd division promptly cut the little guy in half. It was a relief that the little guy was killed quickly, because I was worried Kubo might stretch out his life just for comedic effect.

It's Rose's turn to take on the Sternritter. Wanting to take advantage of the opening Kensei gave him, Rose swiftly unleashes his bankai, and it's a doozy. A large set of floating hands and humanoid creatures appear on the scene. The abilities of Kinshara Butodan seem to be very similar to genjutsu in Naruto. Illusions are created through music, and these illusions are strong enough to cause their victim to believe they're experiencing actual physical harm. Just as Rose is about to finish the Sternritter off, the Quincy bursts his own eardrums, rendering the illusions useless, and blows a hole through the Captain's chest.

That development was slightly disappointing for me. Part of me was hoping that Rose created an illusion of himself and that's what the Sternritter attacked, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Instead Renji protects Rose from a finishing blow, and that's it for this chapter.

In my opinion this was a strong chapter (though to be fair, I consider any chapter with a new bankai to be at least pretty good). Ending the chapter with Renji made sense and didn't seem like trolling like the last two times he and Rukia got the final pages. It makes me wonder where Rukia has gone off to, since there aren't any other concurrent fights that we've seen at the moment.

I do feel like we should take a look at the status of the Captains though. With Yamamoto and Unohana's deaths, we started with 11 Captains. Of those 11, 5 (Soi Fon,Rose, Komamura, Kensei, and Hitsugaya) have already been incapacitated. Shinji took a bad hit but I have a feeling we haven't seen the last of him, and Byakuya's still taking baths with Squad Zero. That leaves Shunsui, Kenpachi, Ukitake, and Kurotsuchi as the only captains left with any real fighting potential, and that's assuming Ukitake is even in fighting shape, against about twenty Sternritter. I get that the Shinigami have captain-level allies in Ichigo, Urahara, and Isshin, among others, but the Gotei 13 is in pretty rough shape at this point.

I think it's safe to say next chapter will be devoted entirely to Renji showing off the results of his training. I read somewhere before this arc began that Renji's bankai would be modified to some extent, so if that's true then it's something to look forward to.
