[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Heh true enough, in Bleach a competent villain seems to be someone slightly less incompetent than those he commands.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]I've been debating picking it up when it comes out, RDR was definitely a solid game and the storyline to this one looks pretty good as well. Lack of a multiplayer seems to both some people but RDR's wasn't exactly anything to shout about so meh, doesn't really bother me.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]He must have a Japanese fanbase, I do like Omaeda from time to time for a bit of a laugh but this is getting to be a bit much. Personally I'd be more interested to see how the lieutenants of the traitor captains have dealt with their deaths/imprisonments. I find it stupid as hell as well that when facing supposedly more powerful versions of themselves, they're still not bothering to go in with the Shikai or Bankai released. Any vaguely competent villain squad could kill the Gotei rather quickly because of that. [/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]It's questionable for sure Magus, right now it's hard to gauge his actions strength in comparison to any of his previous forms because he's fighting new opponents who are completely different to the spirit beings normally in Bleach. The fact he's fighting in his human body, which supposedly is very different to a spirit form, muddles things even further. Based on appearance alone though, I'd say he's nowhere near his old strength or if he is, he just can't properly utilise it. As for his Hollow side coming back when he regains his zanpakutou and powers. It's a possibility, personally I'd rather see it be like his Karakura fight with Aizen where it's all blended together again. Wouldn't mind seeing him and the Old Man pop up again though when he does get those powers back for a chat.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]To be blunt chibi, if you're worried that your mother may react violently then it's irrelevant that she dislikes outsiders being present for family matters. As you said, she's becoming less normal with the passage of time and has already decided to force you into something you don't feel prepared for so having a third party there to ensure the peace is sensible. Maybe you should stay with your friend until you're prepared to tell your father and explain to him that your mother's behaviour of late has left you feeling unsafe at home, particularly in forcing you to come out to him. If he's a rational man he should at least be willing to acknowledge that. [/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Agreed. Nice to see a reappearance by the Kyuubi but nothing he said was even vaguely important. He should know better than anyone that Naruto is too stupid to realise Sasuke is making these decisions for himself rather than because he's been influenced by the likes of Orochimaru and Madara. Naruto's "I'll do it all myself, sod having a plan I'll make it up as I go" mentality is also getting kind of thin. One new jutsu and as usual he thinks he's unbeatable.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Are you afraid your father will react violently to this chibi? Would you be able to get some neutral third party to be present when you have to do this, maybe like a member of the local police or a teacher to ensure nothing happens? I think you should most certainly be angry with your mother over this, in fact I think you should be absolutely furious she's invaded your privacy to this extent and acted in this manner. If you don't feel you're ready for this then you're not, and no you absolutely shouldn't be forced into it. My suggestion remains speak to a third party outside your parents, someone who doesn't share their views on your sexuality and see what they have to say, and if they'll be there when you do this. It not only gives you someone there who is on your side but might rein in your parents a bit. I know a lot of gay children are terrified to come out to their parents out of what they'll think or how they'll react but if you're really convinced your parents will react as badly as you believe, maybe you should also consider speaking to a local attorney about setting up legal safeguards for your protection.

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Better episode this week, although the title was a bit off. Next week should be quite interesting. Also "ewwww" at your viewing of the English version.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]Afraid it's looking like I'll have to pull out of this guys, I've had a load of work fall into my lap and I was still in the middle of developing my team. I'll let you know if things change but unless a miracle happens I don't think I'll be anywhere near having a team ready in a week.[/size][/font]

[font="Tahoma"][size="2"]I think the thing about Kon is I always view him, at his core, to be the same person he was when he was willing to take on that Hollow in Ichigo's body to protect those children. Being the angry perverted stuffed animal is the face Kon puts on for the rest of the world because he's the last of his kind and has nobody else to relate to. He was created for a specific purpose and then scrapped and waited in fear, alone to be killed for probably quite a long time, only to be miraculously rescued and given a chance to experience life proper. When push came to shove he was willing to put his life on the line to protect people he didn't know because that's what he was made to do. I mean if you look at it from Kon's perspective, he still has to spend most of his life hiding what he is and being treated as somewhat less than a person by the people around him. Nobody ever sits down and asks Kon how he feels about life, what he wants to do, etc. So it's hardly surprising he cuts completely loose when he actually has a body and people look at him like a person instead of a stuffed toy. In this arc, he could very easily meet Nemu, realise what she is and then go speak to Urahara about getting a body of his own. All Ichigo would have to do is get another Soul Candy to replace Kon as his body-warmer.[/size][/font]
