Chapters coming out like wild flies today. [img]http://static3.mangastream.com/manga/1/42232524/naruto_04.png[/img] Easy there funny boy. I'll acknowledge that you've surpassed everyone, but becoming a bad### is something you'll never accomplish. (and I won't ever acknowledge you as one either) Ever. [/Byakuya ownage moment] I will admit this much though, after seeing Naruto gain speed equal to that of Minato, I'm really curious about what Itachi's eyes are gonna do for Sasuke because at the moment, with sage mode, and now the 9 tails, I don't see how Sasuke can keep up. I do kind of wish Kisame gets done in right here. That would've been a nice moment to see. I used to like him too, but he didn't live up to snuff. I've come to the point of just hating Gai altogether. We already know where I stand with the Leaf in general but I used to be able to tolerate some of Gai's antics (he was my comic relief of the series), but the guy's just become a useless/pointless character to me. But that was a funny moment seeing Kisame come out only to see Gai's face. This would've been posted a lot sooner, but I was reading the chapter while typing this and mangastream was all fidgety.

Aizen shouldn't even know about the Hougyoku at this moment. It looks to be before TBTP. Unless Aizen's been eyeing Urahara ever since they were lower seats or something I can't buy any theory at the moment. I need an Aizen flashback just to see what "The Beginning" is.

[spoiler]Yamamoto is proof of that[/spoiler]. That's also why we're at the point of wondering why no one is using bankai. Bad writing on Kubo's end.

Lol. I guess that's where we clash at. Tacticians all the way. I'll take people like Byakuya, Urahara and Aizen any day over Kenpachi, Komamura and Ichigo. People that just charge in are boring to me especially now because it's been repeated so many times.

[quote name='Gavin' date='04 August 2010 - 03:39 PM' timestamp='1280950740' post='698813'] [font="Tahoma"][size="2"] Also where the hell did Aizen get thae hougyoku from from before ? Need next week's chapter right now to make some bloody sense of this chapter.[/size][/font] [/quote] Exactly! And that's what I mean by Kubo is terrible at piecing things together. (Won't believe I'm getting lip from someone about saying that... Fanboys.. I swear...)

So that was faster than expect.... Um... Somethings really not adding up here. If Aizen has the Hougyoku way back when, when did Urahara lose it or put it in Rukia? It don't fit at all, especially considering that Aizen didn't get the Hougyoku until Rukia got back to Soul Society. Kubo really sucks at piecing things together.

[quote name='Lawliet' date='02 August 2010 - 09:00 PM' timestamp='1280797254' post='698615'] So I don't think that Oboro is going to have any trouble with that scourge guy. Not only was he the fastest (even if he does use a very tricky kind of Rise) but I can't see him struggling to beat some enemy who is less than a Star Commander. Also if I am remembering right when he was in disguise as Odo didn't he smash through one of Kyle's Material High barriers? I'm assuming that means that Oboro has become more talented in Rise which is nice, maybe now he will actually fight. Though we didn't see his whole body his face still looks normal which got me thinking... could the Oboro that Nemesis Q's creator showed us be different than the one that just appeared? Maybe this Oboro is the one that Shinner (also I'm very happy he is doing stuff again probably my favorite Star Commander) fought and teleported away and the one with he instant death power is the Oboro that survived through the meteor striking the world. Or I guess the opposite could also be true, but for some reason I am hung up on their being a future version of some of the main characters, which isn't totally crazy... I think. [/quote] The thing with that though is that Kyle struggled against that said Scourge who I would think is stronger than Dholaki (5th Star Commander). So to say that he's less than a Star Commander would be a little off. Rank wise, yes, but he's under Junas. Now as far as Oboro goes, I think they're one in the same. If there would be a future Oboro then there should be a future whathisname... Big dragon guy. Last time we saw Oboro, he was taking cores or something like that which remains to be shocking to me. Did he just give up on returning to the past or something?

[quote name='Humaru' date='04 August 2010 - 02:18 PM' timestamp='1280945895' post='698793'] [spoiler]I dont think Yamamoto is actually dead. I mean come on....that guy was old when the soul society started. He can't be dead because there no way to fill his spot in the soul society after they eventually beat Aizen. I think its one of those things where, you have to take out a super strong character without him actually losing to somebody.[/spoiler] [/quote] HEYY!!!! Heaven's Cloud don't read the manga. Spoiler man, spoiler. (spoiler)(/spoiler) replace () with [ ] Oh, I give all props to [spoiler]Stark. As a matter of fact, because he took on 4 captains I'm giving him the benefit of the doubt of living up to expectation.[/spoiler] I can't really say much about Shunsui though. Mainly because that's the way battles are and Rukia (can't believe I'm using her as an example) said in the episode dealing with Orihime's brother that a shinigami should always strike while being undetected or something like that... I know, every single shinigami does not follow that philosophy at all, but with [spoiler]Shunsui's shikai, he best fit that saying better than every other character seeing how he strike from shadows[/spoiler] (He should've been the 2nd division captain lol)

The worst part of what Gavin mentioned is that [spoiler]Your top dog loses to a guy who didn't even need to use bankai. He's numero uno for crying outside and a cheap shikai is enough to do him in...[/spoiler] (don't read just yet. Read after maybe 2 episodes lol) And then "tactics" means absolutely nothing when it comes to SS. It's like everyone just turned dumb (outside of maybe a few).

[quote name='NeedMoarRope' date='04 August 2010 - 04:38 AM' timestamp='1280911092' post='698757'] [font="Comic Sans MS"]Or you could just say he's this guy: [IMG]http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n72/Aceburner85/SladeTTanimated2003.jpg[/IMG] [/font] [/quote] Holy crap. I did not know that. That guy was a beast. If I had to give a reason why I would watch that show it would be for him. (Well.. Everyone except Beastboy)

The thing that's really getting me though is if Aizen is really done for, what exactly can Gin do? I don't want to underestimate the guy because he's the most conniving person in all of Bleach, but at the same time Ichigo was keeping up with him. To be honest I don't like the direction Kubo is heading for Gin's defeat. If Aizen is really done for, there's only 2 ways I see Kubo going with this. Gin go out like the espada's and have a crappy defeat. I don't like his chances at all when Ichigo completes his training, and with Unohana running about, I don't see him defeating everyone like Aizen did. Or Gin acquires that key and we all have another long drawn out battle. Edit: [quote][spoiler]å??æ?³ã?ã¾ã ã?®ã?³ã?ã?«ã?³ã?³è¡?に住ã??でã?ã?é ?ã??

[quote name='chibi-master' date='03 August 2010 - 10:42 PM' timestamp='1280889751' post='698722'] Yeah, you two go and rip each other to shreds. While you're doing that, I'm taking Lilt and escaping with her via [b]ostrich[/b]. [/quote] Definately the wrong thing I should be seeing at the moment. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNgOkl5KqRY[/media] (heavy language) Especially when I've been crackin up at that for about a week now. Anyway... My school vending machines suck. I keep gettin punk'd by them. Most of the times it make me wait for my juice and then don't give me anything in return, like it's saying "run yo money and get the ( ______) out my face". Today it wouldn't take my money at all... So I'm lookin stupid at this thing... Stupid vending machine.

I'm also looking forward to this movie. I don't go to the theaters these days... (got kicked out... long story) But this would be one I'd actually go to the movies to see. I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Sly, Arnold, Bruce and Stone Cold will interact in this movie. I know Jason and Li have been in a couple of movies before so they should be able to gel together. On a side note. My birthday is in 27 days. I think I might go see it on that day.

[quote name='Cat' date='03 August 2010 - 01:28 AM' timestamp='1280813294' post='698637'] But that's the best part. You can laugh at them being stupid. [/quote] It's for me to laugh at the same stupidity that's been going on for years. And even then I get more frustrated for seeing stupidity these days in movies.

I don't watch horror movies (nor play the games) because they don't do anything for me. They usually piss me off because of the idiots that do stupid crap in them. (girls falling. people going to be nosy)

[quote name='Elk' date='02 August 2010 - 07:12 PM' timestamp='1280790758' post='698603'] This is one of my favorite things from the movie [b]The Sweetest Thing[/b] Warning: The word [spoiler]penis[/spoiler] is used a lot, plus some cruel humor and sexual induendos and all. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxXfwodWChg[/media][/quote] Ok, you are evil. I've never watched that movie... (looks like a chick [I don't use that word] flick) But trying to get through that scene without "side effects" is impossible. (for a guy) Evil, evil, evil. "Coughs" [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bLO7IxKwruc&feature=related[/media] I don't really watch many musicals but Little Shop of Horrors was a good one.

I stand corrected. Undefeatable... Hmm... I knew it was somewhere along those lines. And while it's not an ancient movie, 17 years still fits in the realm of "back in the day" at least for me anyway. (hot fudge cakes.. I was 9.) Still, she had some great movies back then. I have not seen this movie yet. I was searching Donnie Yen and came across IP Man (I WANT THIS MOVIE) [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hfnXBUrS7E8[/media]

[quote name='CaNz' date='29 July 2010 - 01:28 PM' timestamp='1280424488' post='698219'] I know what you're thinking... some may guess that martial arts movies wouldn't be my thing... and you would be right... but this clip is definitely the most enjoyable fight i have ever witnessed. it only gets better and better so watch the whole thing. oh... and you need sound for this masterpiece [center][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uxkr4wS7XqY[/media] [/center] [/quote] Hmm... I didn't think much of it when I saw the first 20 secs and then it dawned on me what movie that was. I'm still not entirely certain if I'm right on it but it looks like Rage of Honor. (Especially when Cynthia Ruthrock showed up.) Her movies were always nice to see back in the day. I guess the modern day Cynthia would be Michelle Yeoh. Oh, the music was part of what made that fight nice Anyway, time to get a little silly. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lNgOkl5KqRY[/media] Man pigeon. Edit: Dangit CaNz. I have a sudden urge to watch some of her movies now.

[quote name='Lilt' date='01 August 2010 - 07:35 PM' timestamp='1280705701' post='698497'] [b]Hey KG, maybe you can help me? I can't decide if I should get FF8 or FF9? Is FF9 worth getting then? And do you think I should try to get it for my PS2? I would have to buy a Playstation one memory card if I did, but I need one anyways for Chrono Trigger. [/b][/quote] Most people will probably tell you to get FF9 since FF8 seems to get a lot of flack for its story, characters and junction system. I haven't played FF9 though, but FF8 was my first experience with Final Fantasy and RPG's in general, and it's a favorite of mine so I might be a little bias towards it against the other games in the series. Drawing magic is time consuming as well as playing the card game, but once you get used to everything you can acquire some of the best magic right off the bat and make the game so much easier than it should be. But because I favor 8 I'm gonna say go with 9 because I hear that one went back to it's roots with its battle system. If you still have a regular playstation you won't need a ps2. Get a ps2 for Dragon Quest 8. Internet window shopping for suits..... Ought to be interesting trying to find the type of suit I'm looking for with a decent price.

I wasn't gonna speak about the Vaizards until said events came up, but since they were brought up. Yes I think between the espada and the vaizards I'm more disappointed in the vaizards.

If I didn't know any better I would think y'all were talking about Cowboy Bebop... "coughs"

I thought Pein turned out to be a nice villain (despite his plot no jutsu of bringing everyone back to life). Then again I favor all of the villains in Naruto compared to Konoha. Orochimaru on the otherhand... I really have nothing to say about him.. He did turn into such a whiny villain when he was confronted by Sasuke. But I favor him over the other 2 sages... "coughs"

Oh, forgot to mention... Poor Rangiku. I used to like you too, until you turned into one of those idiots that think they can do something against a captain and superman when your rank is lower. Dang.... I forgot the rest of the 4th division is there... She won't stay dead either.

In terms of best females I'm still in favor of Samui and the Mizukage. [quote]Still think the Third and Jiraiya deserve to have their asses kicked for what they allowed happen to Naruto afterwards.[/quote] Orochimaru and Pein =D
