Bleach 1

Script Notes: Well, well, it's been a while since I've gone over the final draft myself. For a long time you guys were treated to AkiDot's rendition of the final product given my convalescence back through most of October. As you probably noticed, there wasn't that much of an overt difference other than the possible exclusion of a few notes here and there. But eh, now that I'm doing Ten Comments for Bleach, I guess I'll shove in relevant/inane commentary in there. In any case, here's this week's script for c251.

P.S. My local Kinokuniya finally got this year's Jump manga calendars, One Piece's was simply huge, but you can guess where my loyalties were... :amuse Not bad, but I think I could've done a little better than $27, hmm... well at least it sure is spiffy!

Oh! And make sure that you guys pick up Every Colour But The Black when it comes out in December!

Fanning: Arrancar #103, the sizeable Dorudoni--- preaching forth his own stylized gospel!

Ichigo: ...What... was that...?

Dorudoni: ...Are you deaf? I said Espada Privaron.

Dorudoni: In other words, a "Derelict" Espada.

Dorudoni: It is as you think,

Dorudoni: indeed all of us which bear these three numerals

--------- Page 02 ---------
Dorudoni: were all previously members of the Espada.

Dorudoni: Got that, niño?

Fanning: Lessons in conduct and power--- Dorudoni-style!

Ichigo: Tch...

Dorudoni: Heheh! Something amiss!?

--------- Page 06-07 ---------
Dorudoni: You know, only simpletons ever need to check their footwork.

--------- Page 08 ---------
Dorudoni: ...What pitiful reflexive defense. No one can do decently with footwork as mired as that.

--------- Page 09 ---------
Dorudoni: Mere child's play! It's as easy as shaking a toddler! Hmm!?

Dorudoni: BA-N-KA-I. That is your only option now, niño.

Dorudoni: I hate to be blunt, but do not even think that protracting this abysmal showing on will prove wise in the end.

--------- Page 10 ---------
Ichigo: ...No way.

Dorudoni: Oh, and why?

Ichigo: ...If you're a "Derelict" then that means you don't got the stuff to be Espada.

Dorudoni: ...True.

Ichigo: Then if I want to take all of 'em out... there's no way I can just spam my Bankai on Espada...

Ichigo: HAS-BEENs!!!

Dorudoni: Of course, your conviction is admirable.

Dorudoni: But allow me this, he who stands before you

--------- Page 12 ---------
Dorudoni: IS NO PUSHOVER HIMSELF

Dorudoni: WHIRL

Dorudoni: [Hiraruda]

Dorudoni: You're lagging, raise that guard.

Ichigo: ...Ah...?

Dorudoni: Here goes,

Dorudoni: [Hiraruda].

Dorudoni: Hmph!!

Neru: ...I... Ichigo... ...Ichigo...!

Fanning: Ichigo powerless before the Dorudoni's untamed [Hiraruda]!? Neru's response is...!?

End of c251.
