My first reaction: I am glad that the underwater expedition was not prolonged for a couple of more chapters. It has been 100+ chapters coming, but the Straw Hats have finally made it to Fishman...
December 08, 2010 08:23 PM
I am under the conclusion that Sado is being purpotedly set up as a potential member of this group. He hasn't been present for the entirety of the arc, had very little screentime to date, and is a...
December 08, 2010 08:16 PM
I am glad that the Edo Tensei does not spawn random ninja out of nowhere, that there had to be some price to pay other than sacrificing another person's body to house the soul. In this case, Kabuto...
December 08, 2010 07:52 PM
The only reason why both of these jutsu are being compared to one another in the first place is because they are, (in lament's terms), the strongest elemental ninjutsu ever used by the two main...
December 05, 2010 05:03 PM
I believe the attack on Uryu was a message for Ichigo. The attack did take place relatively close to the Kurosaki clinic, and it is just as possible that the man responsible was an associate of...
December 05, 2010 04:56 PM
Even though he was a genius, there had to be some inspiration for Minato creating the Rasengan. Not even he could create a jutsu out of scratch, much less the advanced level of chakra manipulation...
December 05, 2010 04:43 PM
If you have noticed, there had been three instances (three episodes in a row, including this one) where the anime pauses the momentum of the war in favor of showing Coby being nervous on the...
December 05, 2010 04:38 PM
Given that two of the previous Yonkou have been seen using Haoushoku, it is likely to conclude that the others (Kaidou, Big Mom) can use it as well.
I also believe that Eneru had the potential of...
November 16, 2010 04:16 PM
Just to let everyone know, the two week of fillers are to commemorate the mass reveal of the fourth Bleach movie. It has little to do with being too close to the manga at this point (since the...
November 14, 2010 04:51 PM
So let me try to take a crack at this, Naruto now has to confront the inner darkness within the Kyubi to be able to control the chakra fully? Naruto has already experienced sadness and helplessness...
November 14, 2010 10:08 AM
Initial spoilers seemed to have insisted that she was pregnant. However, the chapter elaborated that the woman already had a child of her own and nothing was mentioned on this subject. Sorry.
...
November 14, 2010 10:06 AM
I'll be content if the ninja are actually shown using their Kekkei Genkai gifts during the war, one way or another. We're not exactly sure if these ninja actually possessed the four Kekkei Genkai...
November 11, 2010 12:01 PM
I can see this man stalking Ichigo under the pretense of requesting to buy him some ramen. In Chapter 424, after Ichigo brings back the man's back, the man offers to treat him to ramen but Ichigo...
November 11, 2010 09:48 AM
The ostrich from the "Naruto's Revenge School" episode makes a reapparance, telling his kids the story of his past rivalry with Naruto, after the destruction of Konoha by Pain.
It was an...
November 11, 2010 09:15 AM
You are correct. These are the same ninja that were sacrificed Hiruko (the movie character). Hiruko uses four Kekkei Genkai in the movie, the same number as the ninja who were sacrificed, so I am...
November 10, 2010 11:04 PM
Not just that. Stretching out a 15-page chapter, specifically one like this where a lot going on at once and not a lot of dialogue, to an 18-minute episode is a sacrifice in itself.
This episode...
November 10, 2010 10:18 PM
Damn, that must have been a real coincidence that some of the ninja brought back through Kabuto's Edo Tensei (and even Chuukichi of Kirigakure) were the same exact ninja that were sacrificed during...
November 10, 2010 07:13 PM
Caribou seems to be an antagonist that could have caused trouble for the Straw Hats before the separation. Not only has he killed countless marines, but his bounty is high (on Supernova level). Also...
November 10, 2010 07:06 PM
Hopefully this game follows suit with the PS2 Bleach titles. It looks like it to me.
30% chance? Isn't that a bit too high for a Bleach title? Bleach games on a Sony system were never...
November 10, 2010 05:41 PM
I don't remember, but wasn't Haku a child prodigy? Zabuza noticed his talents as a child, not just in his kekkei genkai, but in his skills as well. Don't play Haku off like an inexperienced fool who...
November 10, 2010 05:30 PM
This chapter, as far as I am concerned, has two parts.
First Ichigo saves Uryu from being beaten by some delinquents. At the same time, they are arguing about the other's decisions. This is...
November 10, 2010 04:16 PM
Not to discredit Oda's part, but once we were introduced to the kraken and what it was capable of doing, I expected Luffy to make his response.
Of course that does not mean it is going to happen....
November 10, 2010 04:13 PM
Bee is going to have to reveal the war to Naruto sooner or later. By the end of this chapter, Naruto had already mastered the Sage Cloak to the point that he was able to complete the first part of...
November 10, 2010 03:03 PM
In terms of artwork, it definitely looks half-finished in some areas.
It is interesting to see that Kabuto intends to keep the personalities of the Edo Tensei ninja intact up until the point when...
November 10, 2010 02:45 PM
Although this was one of those deep explanation chapters that require much thought, the reactions with the rest of the crew when Nami was explaining everything was priceless.
Caribou does not...
November 10, 2010 06:33 AM
Oh god, Mohmoo came back! Damn, it's that Sea Cow that fought Sanji and Luffy back at Arlong Park!
Despite being seen as a Marine killer and psychopath, Caribou's crew does not share his same...
November 10, 2010 06:26 AM
Remember that Ichigo had asked for this two chapters ago. As far as Kubo is concerned, Ichigo dictates how the story is runned. Although I lack a sense of humor, I can see that this chapter was meant...
November 10, 2010 06:19 AM
I am glad Gaara was made the Kazekage in this case, building up all of this tension just for this one moment.
Only he, a member of the next generation and a former Jinchuriki alike, could have...
November 09, 2010 03:02 PM
Alright, here are some more flashbacks.
At least this isn't a total deviation from the plot; despite there being some filler present in this episode, it wasn't bothersome enough to drastically...
November 07, 2010 09:13 AM
We get epic animation for fodder characters being incinerated by magma fists and blasted by cannon balls. In terms of plot progression, it was a 15-minute struggle for the Whitebeard Pirates and...
November 04, 2010 02:51 PM
So far I enjoyed watching this filler more so than the other ones.
Blame me for being a Tenten fan, but she was really overdue for screentime. Tenten gets bitterly underestimated all the time in...
November 02, 2010 07:10 PM
So the following characters are Edo Tensei'd:
Itachi, Sasori, Deidara, Kakazu, Nagato, Yugito, Yagura, Roshi, Han, Utakata, Fu, Gaara's father (Fourth Kazekage), Third Raikage, unknown Kage, Haku,...
November 02, 2010 06:19 PM
Damn, I still cannot believe Sanji would have been called "Naruto."
I guess this explains his swirly-shaped eyebrows.
An eye-patch pirate will appear later in the manga. Will he be a new nakama...
November 02, 2010 06:02 PM
I am assuming the person next to Kiba in Division 5 is Hana? This is what I put on my list on the last page. It is clear to me that the facial tattoos and specialty of the squad (special...
November 02, 2010 05:29 PM
Onoki's floating abilities never cease to amaze me. At first I thought he touched the giant island turtle to make it fly (like he did with Kurotsuchi a few chapters back), but he's actually LIFTING...
November 02, 2010 04:56 PM
I'm vouching for either Sado or the man we saw in the last chapter. Aizen is currently imprisoned for a very, very long time so it cannot be him.
November 02, 2010 04:35 PM
What? Chapter's out already? MS is really on a roll today.

Ichigo's dream sequence just got funnier with Isshin revealed to have heart-shaped pajama...
November 02, 2010 04:11 PM
Of course, Luffy is passionately in love with the sea and going out to sea. Why else has he decided to become a Pirate? I believe it was his catchphrase as a kid that Luffy "wanted to go out to sea,"...
November 02, 2010 04:02 PM
Haku has access to a Kekkei Genkai. Zabuza also claimed that Haku was stronger/more dangerous than he was, and that his Demonic Ice Mirror jutsu killed several Jonin-level ninja while the boy was...
November 02, 2010 03:12 PM
Kishi's choice with placing certain characters in the same battalion may be intentional, but it also may very well be random. He may be placing random kunoichi on one squad (i.e. Hinata and Karui)...
November 02, 2010 01:21 PM
In all of the cases listed above, the readers would have been delved in to more mystery and material by now. We were either introduced to newer characters or learned much more about the pre-existing...
November 02, 2010 01:07 PM
My only complaint with this turn of events is that it will only simplify the match-ups from here on in. Many of us assume that with Hizashi revived, naturally it'd be Neji and/or his battallion that...
November 02, 2010 12:58 PM
Not really... You can notice the size difference between the individual Sea Kings. Their noses are also completely different (the earlier one has rabbit-like facial features, the one in this chapter...
November 02, 2010 12:15 PM
We'll find out in due time as to what Caribou's DF is. We're not even sure if it *is* Logia at the present moment (it could very well be Paramecia similar in nature to Magellan or Mr. 3's). Caribou...
November 02, 2010 11:28 AM
Just to be clear, Whitebeard's DF was a Pacifista fruit not a Logia. He had the ability to create earth, air, and sea quakes.
We've never had a mud logia before or even anything relatively close...
November 02, 2010 11:25 AM
Was this the earliest that MH released a scanlated chapter? It's only Tuesday morning here.
Anyways, it was a good chapter.
The chapter begins with Caribou forcing his crew to dig the Marine...
November 02, 2010 10:40 AM
Assuming that this training is Naruto to improvise with the Rikudou Cloak, that is. Or it could very well be Naruto forcing the Kyubi to transform into the final state.
Maybe the cover with...
November 02, 2010 10:15 AM
After going out of his way to try to suppress the Kyubi's chakra within him and has access to a massive reservoir of it that can be tapped at any time, Naruto still can't use it instinctively? He...
November 02, 2010 10:01 AM
So far it seems Kubo is going straight back to basics. He's increasing the tension between Ichigo/Tatsuki as well as Tatsuki/Orihime. Orihime is as clueless and carefree as she was before the Aizen...
November 02, 2010 09:36 AM
Again, how does Kabuto manage to revive twenty or so ninja with his Edo Tensei?
According to the spoilers, Kabuto revived seven Jinchuriki (since Gaara is not dead, who is the seventh?), several...
