Has Barragan actually shown or stated his number yet? Or is it just implied that he his #2?Please only answer if your a manga reader.

Well, yeah you would assume he's a number 2.
If not then who would be Number 2? Unless number 2 is WW.
But I actually think WW is stronger than Stark, just from the comment Stark made when WW showed up.
Stark is number 1 and Halibel is Number 3... so you would assume Barragan is Number 2, if Yammy is Number 0

By seeing how much Barragan owns, I would assume there is some other character as number 2. After all no one expected Yammy to be 0.

So far Barragan looks to be the most dangerouse and awaesome espada.

I would better got shot by 1000 ceros than would riot to death while seeing and feeling everything...

Thats the thing, then what number could he possibly be.
His reiatsu is not stronger than Stark, so he's not a VL.
What makes him strong is his seemingly unbeatable ability.

How do you know his reiatsu isn't stronger than Stark's?
And Yammy was the weakest of the Espada before his release and now he is apparently the strongest

Very, very good observation.

It'll be really interesting if it turns out he's not actually number 2.

In actual fact it's never been shown where his number is and as evidence I've just got some Bleach wiki, and my poor memory:

http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Barragan_Luisenbarn (http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Barragan_Luisenbarn):"the location of his Espada tattoo is currently unknown." :eyespin::eyespin::eyespin:


Although I don't think there's going to be any change or real surprises in the story, there's a chance that he's not actually Number 2 and that he's just some dude who people may think is number 2 or is covering up the place for someone.

However, the odds of him not being number 2 are low since he's got Fraccion and most of the Espada insist he's number 2.

Ahh well, we was the try :p

Number 1894234563256234 in the list of inconsistencies (Lol. j/k)
In the Pendulum Arc. they said the RG Protects the King.
But when Aizen left SS he said that no one stands in the Heavens, not even God...
That doesn't make any sense, or is the King of SS not the one Standing on Top

So when do the subbed episodes of bleach come out?
Like which day
And if that days is the exact day that they come out on the day all the time.

Anyways i have a question are the fillers in the DvD's?
What i don't get is why do people hate the fillers i think there okay.
And people i know think that Bleach has no plot is that true?

Since they are numbered episodes, there's no reason to skip them in DVDs. Some people don't like fillers because of their simplistic or formulaic structure, or lower quality.
BLEACH does have a plot, but it is so weak that compared to other series it's next to nothing. Or so they say~

Normally any episode that airs on TV is later released in DVD, because DVD sales are primary source for anime studios

Anime studios working on manga based series such as bleach, walk on a tight rope regarding fillers.

Without them they can lose their TV time slots which is disastrous.
Or they can catch up with the manga and go on totally original direction with usually bad results (inuyasha, kenshin etc)

Too many fillers however most of the times cause drop on DVD sales which is equally bad for the studio. (iirc this happened both for Bounto & Amagai DVD sales in Japan)

or he was just commenting on how arrogant shinigami have become. soul society isn't heaven and shinigami aren't gods, even if they call themselves such.

could even be an obscure hint that the king is missing. *points at isshin=king theories*

either way it is speculation.

thats a rather bad spoiler right there. you should delete it.

a better way to ask would be to just list the chapter number.
it wasn't named or explained yet either way.

it won't air until after the current filler arc which will last for the summer or a whole year depending on who you listen to.

What Happened to the last Bount he was still alive at the end of the Bount arc but he did not return to the world of the living. He was staying with Rong Geaku (sorry I don't know how to spell her name) He was still persona non Grata in the sole society wasn't he; will we see him again during the Current arc airing on Cartoon Network/adult swim.

for all we know he could still be hidden away telling his life story to ran'tao.
neither have been so much as mentioned since then and probably never will be.
filler characters usually don't get much, if any, meaningful airtime outside of their arc (and that is usually for comedy, which those two didn't do).

yes, but was any of their involvement meaningful?
as in, actually contributed to the episode and/or plot instead of just more filler.

walking around serving tea or jumping in to get stabbed and forgotten (and not even worth a heal scene apparently :heh:) are not what i would call meaningful.

I've got a question.

I've only watched one episode of Bleach, the first one which was a week ago. And it will take forever to watch the 200+ episodes so, can someone tell me which episodes are fillers, which are important and which are not fillers but not that important?

I would appreciate it.

filler:
64-109 bount
128-137 team hitsugaya
147-149 menos forest
168-189 amagai (out of continuity)
204-205 soccer /seppuko
213-214 karakura riser
227- (228 is the lovely beach episode)

i think thats most of it (someone correct me if i screwed it up).
note that some of the starts/ends of those contain manga material.

Here you are.

Definitions of out of continuity on the Web:

* out of chronological or linear order (used to describe the way in which movie scenes are shot during principal photography).

But 1 question what does the episodes.

Like 141+ leading up to filler what are they about?
Cause i saw it said like 147 was a filler episode if I'm not mistaken.

kamyu
2009-08-13, 17:55
that batch before the menos forest bit is manga based leading up to and starting the attack on hueco mundo.
if i remember correctly, kubo wanted to put the menos forest in, even started some sketches for it, but didn't have time to do it.


guess i should've said alternate timeline instead of out of continuity then for the amagai arc.

Karakura riser part is kinda important but pretty less
they made it look like a way to stall the arrancars so that Urahara have enough time to set-up the barrier without them noticing :heh:

kagato3
2009-08-14, 13:01
Well out of continuity can mean out of event sequence as well as completely out of the timeline.

I think.

When dealing with fiction the most common meaning of out of continuity is that it is not part of the same continuity not that it is out of sequence. Technicly both are correct but for things that are only nonchronological it is misleadingl


It's better to say that 227 was a flashback as it is part of the main anime continuity (as well as the manga) and but ther other eps are not.

karakura riser is a bit of an oddball 213 is the back up from the manga volumes 27-31 and 214 is not directly from the back ups although all the other riser and thier moves are. one small diffrence is that the Don was not in the town when the barrier whent up in the manga as he got a reaction shot when everyone showed up as he could barly feel it.

Haha! I didn't mean to start an argument.

Im still on episode 6 so it will be a while before i reach 227 or so.

Also, regarding episodes 64 to 109, are they interesting? Considering its such a long arc it must have some importance, no?

1. We don't know. It hasn't been revealed yet

2. Yes it's true. Whether or not he will gain a bankai later on remains to be seen.

3. I don't recall any episodes that show the royal guards.

4. Yes there are so far 232 episodes and 369 chapters

5. I'm not sure I undersatnd. You do mean WonderWeiss or Lilynette?

It is revealed that Lilynette is actually Stark's Zanpaktou.

1) Its still a mystery
2)Yes, and anyone who doesn't know the name of their zanpaktou also can't have a shikai
3)Royal Guard (or 0 squad) haven't appeared in any episodes yet but they are mentioned in The Turn Back The Pendulum arc and in the episode where Ishida accidentially summons the Menos Grande.
4)There are 232 episodes so far, as the manga hasn't ended yet, we don't know how many more episodes will be made but Im guessing at least 75+
5) I have no idea what you are asking.

high level shinigami can fly in the real world by standing on platforms made of spirit particals under thier feet. Ichigo could do it since chapter 5. The same seems to be true of HM (but it seems to be harder) but not SS.

The current battle is in a fake Karakura in the real world the real Karakura is hidden away in Soul society

I have two questions :

1) Are all the shinigamis who have problems with their zanpaktou master Bankai?
(I'm not sure) but personally I think so, coz if the zanpaktous reach bankai leve it means they are independent from their wielders.
and as soon as the shinigamiz conclude that, they will know about Ikaku and Yumichika :heh: Oooops they cant deny it anymore.

2) Do you remember the first epi of this arc when a purple hair women (not sure) with little girl and other people go to yamamto and i think they sealed him as Marumasa said. the question is " Is that purple hair women is Kyouraku Syunsui's zanpaktou?" coz i think she is appearing in the ending with him ?!!
if that is true .. Poor Kyouraku, he is the most one who concerned abt Yama-Ji and his zanpaktou did that to him!! lol

1) I don't understand exactly what you are asking. Anyway, to achieve bankai a shinigami must successfully bring/materialize his zampaktou in real world. Extremely few succeed and usually it takes at least 10 years to do so. (Byakuya said so in SS arc)

In this arc Muramasa forces zampaktou materialize, so it doesn't count as achieving Bankai. E.g the fact that Tobiune was forced to materialize does not mean that Hinamori has now Bankai.

2) Yes she is Kyorakou's zampaktou

it is because the anime catches up to the manga.
since they don't have enough manga content to animate, they have to make up new stuff. japan doesn't do reruns like we do. they have the choice to either make up new stuff to let the manga get ahead again or to lose their timeslot.
almost 1/2 of the anime isn't from the manga.

This may seem kind of silly and ridiculous to ask, but what the hell.

How reliable can a line spoken by the english dubs during a filler arc be? On the episode of Bleach I just watched tonight, it was just stated by a filler character (Ashido) during a filler arc that their are Vasto Lorde level hollows (as in plural) residing in Las Noches. Should I take this with a grain of salt? Or should I have some faith in the possibility that the localization team isn't allowed to let the voice overs say something that's not true (even if it is a filler)?

Because quite honestly, this is pretty huge IMO if what Ashido stated is indeed true. For the record, I don't remember if Ashido stated the same thing in the japanese dubs. And I'm feeling way too lazy to check.

how you consider what a filler character says depends on your view of canon. although in this case ashido and the menos forest are things kubo said he wanted to put in the manga but didn't have time.

as for the line itself, he does say it in japanese as well.
in addition to Kafriel's comment, it could also be explained by him not knowing what an arrancar is and confusing the two. after all, most of the arrancars' unreleased forms would fit the given description of a vasto lorde.

on a side note, omg the english nel, pesche, and dondo chakka sound HORRIBLE!

Question:

Did Ikkaku beat Grimmjows fraccion before or after the power limit thingy was removed?

The limit seal applies only to captains & lietenants entering the real world.
It is applied based on rank and not strictly power.
Other shinigami don't receive it even if they are of captain class power.

That is why Matsumoto & Renji had seals while Ikaku & Yumichika didn't, even though the later might be of equal or even greater power.

Just to clarify... Soifon didn't show any signs of hate toward Urahara in SS, right?(not a manga spoiler either way btw, she clearly hates him in the Bount arc)

This may seem kind of silly and ridiculous to ask, but what the hell.

How reliable can a line spoken by the english dubs during a filler arc be? On the episode of Bleach I just watched tonight, it was just stated by a filler character (Ashido) during a filler arc that their are Vasto Lorde level hollows (as in plural) residing in Las Noches. Should I take this with a grain of salt? Or should I have some faith in the possibility that the localization team isn't allowed to let the voice overs say something that's not true (even if it is a filler)?

Because quite honestly, this is pretty huge IMO if what Ashido stated is indeed true. For the record, I don't remember if Ashido stated the same thing in the japanese dubs. And I'm feeling way too lazy to check.Dubs are usually pretty reliable. Plus, it don't matter at all if the episode is anime original or not. Just go back and watch the Japanese version just to make sure.

how you consider what a filler character says depends on your view of canon.But don't dis-continuity (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.DisContinuity) mean that you're simply ignoring official canon, not redefining it?

on a side note, omg the english nel, pesche, and dondo chakka sound HORRIBLE!Now I gotta watch that...:uhoh:

it was more like she was jealous of the attention he was given because she only saw him as a lazy slob. then she found out that all of her evidence of him being lazy was actually him very discreetly doing his job. then we never see her again.

But don't dis-continuity (http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main.DisContinuity) mean that you're simply ignoring official canon, not redefining it?

well if you ignore part of an official definition, you essentially are redefining it on a personal level. though i suppose people usually don't refer to it that way. /shrug


i suppose nel's voice isn't that bad, more about preference on that one, but pesche... poor, poor pesche..

Ikkaku also is better than Matsumoto.

And Hitsugaya... well he is a captain so he is tronger than Ikkaku. But still I would expect his 20% be better than that.

If Ikkaku will train some more and will change his attitude, he can be next captain easily.

what about after the reveal where she found out that all of what she interpreted as lazy was actually him doing his job?

also, upon looking back, none of that actually happened in the manga. her only manga line during that arc was "Yoruichi-sama!" Take from that what you will.

Still didn't trust him much when he wanted to visit the Maggot nest.

Just shows that she didn't really trust him.


Besides in SS arc there wasn't really a reason for her to show her hate towards him since he wasn't there :D
Anyway her hate definetly is because of Yoruichi leaving with him since like this Yoruichi became an outcest and she also was left behind. Probably no one told her the details about the vizard case.

But if she will know the truth and will get at least one hit n him, all anger and hate will be forgotten :D

We don't know right now. However, the new OP that airs in october will give us an indication about how long the filler arc will last:
If the OP is all about this filler arc, then we will most likely have another full season of filler (26 episodes);
If the OP has some random scenes that could belong to any arc other than stuff from the filler arc, then there's the chance that this arc will go on for just another 13 episodes. If that were to be the case, the OP would be altered mid-season, with the stuff from the filler arc replaced with stuff from the canon arc.

I don't mean to sound sexist, or a smart-ass, but

I've recently seen Bleach op 10, but I don't watch the newer episodes. In the new op, they seem to draw more attention to Orihime, Rukia, and Matsumoto, three characters that have basically, never done much in the series. Rukia has ice, but from eps 1-130ish, she does nothing. Orihime has no offensive power whatsoever, and Matsumoto attacks with....ashes?

By them drawing attention to the 3 people, does that mean they have more of a special part in the show? Are they stronger now? Or is it just the same way it was before?

This picture is from the 'SS King' thread, and it originally appeared in Bleach character book.
It depicts clearly the hierarchy of SS.

Unfortunately in Pendulum arc, Kubo contradicted a lot of things shown in the pictured & mentioned in SS arc. For example he made Yoruichi a captain, and merged Gotei 2nd squad & Cover corps.
In Pendulum Urahara went as far as to say that high ranked 2nd squad shinigami are also commanders of the Cover Corps.
Pendulum arc was the definition of contradiction lol

Hichigo was a part of Ichigo like Zangetsu . We considered Hichigo representing his hollow side and Zangetsu his shinigami side .

But now Hichigo has been broadly classified as a Zanpakuto . Going by the current opening Hichigo materializes in the real world and fights along Ichigo like Zabimaru / Senbonzakura . If ithe new OP is to believed or not, is a different question going by 2nd opening by Uverworld and Toshiro .

That's more or less speculation. It's not certain the studio will go with this arc until the next OP (20 eps or so). It could end much earlier.

So I liked the zanbaktou rebellion arc, except that I have a small problem with episode 239 (I think). Particularly the part where Hitsugaya reminisces about the pre shinigami period of his life. It was different from what they showed in earlier episodes, I'm sure you all remember. If my memory serves me right I think he grew with Hinamori, and he was hesitant of joining and, well you watched the whole thing too. Am I confusing my self and both stories actually fit in a bigger story, or are they really different ? in which case I'd like to know which is the truer one. I'm a big fan of this character.

I only watch the anime ..




Apologies for the lengthy post, and thanks in advance :)

The 2 flashbacks are not self-excluding. In the old flashback Hitsugaya was living with Hinamori prior of her joining the 13 squads. After that she was not living with him, only visiting him. Also the fact the are not shown, does not deny the option of other persons living with him.

As for Hitsugaya not wanting to join the 13 squads, that holds true at the 2nd flashback too. At the end of 2nd flashback it is hinted that Matsumoto made him change his mind in order to get a grip of his dangerous power.

By the way welcome to the forum :)

Oh :(

Well, I was under the impression that captains - or any extraordinarily powerful shinigami, for that matter - were sort of self-established (excuse my poor English, this was the best I could come up with lol), and that they made it this far by training or something, and weren't .. like .. gifted, or born with extraordinary powers and stuff like that. And I liked it better that way ..

well both cases are actually true (both in bleach and in real life).
most anyone can get there with enough hard work and time, but there are also naturals that can get there faster or more easily.

an example off the top of my head would be Iba (komamura's vc). he mentions that he was terrible at kido, but practiced hard so that he would be more well-rounded and get promoted to vc (think he was talking to Ikkaku).

Gin
2009-12-21, 20:20
Hisagi is another good example of a hard worker.
Butyou also have to remember that just because Toshiro was born with a lot of reiatsu, doesn't mean he didn't have to train hard. He was just strong and smart enough to skip through the academy really fast. Byakuya was also born with loads of reiatsu but he also trained really hard to be as strong as he is now.

It may have just been a clip from the last anime canon episode. They fought for a little while in that last episode.

Either that or you were seeing the first fight Ichigo vs with Ulquiorra.

It was when

Ichigo's 2nd hollow form was revealed to Orihime and Ulquiorra threw this type of lance made out of his cero energy at him.

Did that happen before the filler started?

Here's a question that I've been pondering for awhile.. (sorry if it's been asked and answered)

At what chapter did Shinigami begin to fly around like DBZ characters? Was this "ability" explained? Think back to the Soul Society arc where Ichigo saves Rukia, Ichigo flew to the top of the Sokyoku using a cloak.

http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ichigosavesrukia.jpg

Volumes/episodes later, seems like every Shinigami is zipping around the air without the cloak apparatus. I never really thought about it till recent volumes, was it ever explained? Just spiritual energy? What is funny is there's a lot of scenes/episodes where the Shinigamis (mainly Ichigo) run hurriedly around --e.g. through caves, forests, etc., Then moments later in a heated battle they're flying all over the place. Why don't they just fly in the first place when traveling?

(I'm probably trying to be too logical here)

Kafriel
2010-02-02, 01:37
(I'm probably trying to be too logical here)
this. The ability was explained by Zangetsu in the manga back when Ichigo was discovering his own powers in his inner world; he's basically concentrating reiatsu below his feet to fly, same goes for the other shinigami. They don't use this in SS for some reason, spirit particle concentration perhaps. The question has been answered a few times before , you might want to search for it if this wasn't enough.

Why is it important that Ichigo hasn't seen Kanzen Saimin? Is it simply a matter of his closing his eyes and covering his ears going all la-la-la-can't-put-me-under-perfect-hypnosis to avoid being affected when it's released? If so, it seems like a rather strange weakness to such a powerful shikai.

kamyu

it is important for the obvious reason that anyone who has already seen it can be instantly hypno-raped.
yes, it could be as "simple" as closing your eyes and(/or?) covering your ears as evidenced by tousen being immune because he is blind. however, fighting blind and deaf when you are normally neither is very far from simple.

This might just me being stupid, but does anyone know why every Shinigami and their mom is able to fly? Or, not even fly. They're just standing in mid air.

I mean, it looks cool and all, but there's no real explanation. It's really unusual, since back in the Soul Society arc, Ichigo first used that skull-wand to fly, and afterwards he needed that cape to be able to fly. When Byakuya asks Yoruichi about the cape, she says Ichigo needed to be able to fly, as if she meant that no shinigami could ever fly unless they used items like that.

So how come they can?

Well, Ichigo had to use the cape to fly, that's true. But they can stand in mid-air by focusing their reiatsu under their feet. It's just creating aomething to get your feet on, nothing more. Flying and that are two different things, although you can jump long distances in the air by using the combination of shunpo and the reiatsu-under-your-feet-technique.

So how come they can? high level shinigami can fly in the real world by standing on platforms made of spirit particals under thier feet. Ichigo could do it since chapter 5. The same seems to be true of HM (but it seems to be harder) but not SS.

The current battle is in a fake Karakura in the real world the real Karakura is hidden away in Soul society

The explanation was given by Zangetsu in the manga when Ichigo was falling into the chaos of his inner world, or so I was told back when I remember this question being asked.

The reason i ask this is because his reiatsu is so strong that he has been able to blow away other peoples bankai with just using his strength and since his power level is something that no one can really measure its not hard to imagine that he could just knock Aizens illusion crap away and commence the ass whipping..

2) Does anyone think that Zaraki will ever find his zanpaktous name?? I mean how much stronger would that make him..??

Aizen said it himself that it's a matter of reiatsu so it's very possible. but we don't know how much stronger Kenpachi is compared to Aizen. Aizen has also been shown to be a bit of a powerhouse himself recently.

I don't think he'll find it. He's already way too powerful. He'll risk taking the spotlight from Ichigo, and we all know how much Kubo loves Ichigo. But I guess it's something Kubo could use should be ever write himself into a corner (which he does frequently).

Though I understand why they're doing fillers. The anime has caught up dangerously close to the manga.

It is? Not what I heard. I heard they were doing another season of fillers.


Don't get me wrong, I actually like fillers if they're done well. That is, if they're done like the Bount arc or Amagai Shuusuke arcs. Actually, I think I'm one of the few people that actually liked those. The current fillers are okay, but I would prefer a storyline. Canon or not, watching a bunch of disconnected episodes is boring. Where's the tension and suspense? The entertainment factor is what separates good and bad filler. If it's actually entertaining and makes me want to watch it, it's good filler. If I'm watching it just because I feel I have to to remain faithful to the show (e.g. Naruto filler from Part I), then it's bad.

I actually like the current filler, and yes, it's NECCESSARY. If the anime team catches up to the manga, the series will come to a screeching halt. It's a fundamental property of an ongoing series... the anime team has to maintain a comfortable distance from the manga. Not too far so as not to frustrate the manga fans, but close enough that if something changes in the storyline, the anime-only adaptions don't suddenly run into continuity or canon issues. This is a bg problem with Naruto, but Bleach hasn't had any such issues that I've noticed.

Then again, given how convoluted the storyline has become in the most recent 2 chapters that I could just be too confused to notice mistakes. :heh:

I'm pretty sure the Ichigo/Ulquiorra fight should continue pretty soon. I mean what else is there to show in the zanpakuto arc? Would they continue with the Amagai timeline? I don't think so.

Don't get me wrong, I actually like fillers if they're done well. That is, if they're done like the Bount arc or Amagai Shuusuke arcs. Actually, I think I'm one of the few people that actually liked those. The current fillers are okay, but I would prefer a storyline. Canon or not, watching a bunch of disconnected episodes is boring. Where's the tension and suspense? The entertainment factor is what separates good and bad filler. If it's actually entertaining and makes me want to watch it, it's good filler. If I'm watching it just because I feel I have to to remain faithful to the show (e.g. Naruto filler from Part I), then it's bad.I agree to an extent. Shows about nothing ARE entertaining to an extent(Seinfeld, anyone?). Some would consider them "true fillers", in between story arcs and whatnot. IMO though, I find it too compromising for a fictional world's potential for everything to be jumbled together into arc and stand-alone episodes. If this were more realistic, there'd be tons of other factors in a "story arc", like say a random guy mugging a main character. Shit happens, but stories tend to ignore the outside world for the story at hand.

And I'm starting to ramble:heh:

Well, I don't think they would continue those arcs. I didn't mean to imply that. I was only stating that from an entertainment perspective, those filler arcs were actually worth watching. That is, I wouldn't skip them, because they were enjoyable in their own right. Like the Bount arc. Guess what? Ririn, Noba, and Kuroudo (our little Bount-sensor friends :)) are still in the series sometimes when we see Urahara's shop, despite the fact that they are anime-only, and filler-original characters to boot.
Noba (http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/Noba) owns. Teleportation is t3h aw3someness! =3

And in Naruto, there's been a ton of ret-conning lately in the anime to try and explain the filler with Utakata, not to mention the jinchuuriki and bijuu in general. While they weren't bad, the filler didn't turn out to be as much of a gaiden as I had originally hoped, that's all. In my opinion, they shouldn't bother trying to explain it because as far as I'm concerned continuity flew out the window a long time ago with any kind of filler episodes.

It IS better when anime originals are included in the anime's main timeline though. Makes more of a "complete" story.

I agree, that's the reason I kind of like the Bount arc (even though I only watched the last half :heh: ). It made it seem like Aizen spent awhile in HM preparing for the attack/practicing saying just as planned in front his mirror.


...and that explains that.

I only spelled them that way because that's the way it's spelled on the Bleach wiki. Personally I don't like Engrish either, but I wasn't sure if Nova and Claude were their proper names or just how DB translated it at the time. It's hard to tell with katakana sometimes.

Time to start discussion on the upcoming opening music and ending since filler ends this week and we get new OP/ED NEXT WEEK!!

Opening song:

Its going to be sung by Miwa, but the name of the song hasnt been announced yet. (However if you listen to her "Dont cry anymore" song, you might get some type of idea what it will sound like)

Ending song:

'Stay Beautiful' -Diggy Mo:

Question: When is Bleach Ending?

Yeah, I know. I am mastering in Jackass with a doctorate degree in sarcasm. Couldn't help but ask that though. When I become old and decrepit I'm going to tell my grand children (If?) about the never ending anime called Bleach, then I'll change it to the channel it's usually on, and then there will be a commercial saying "Tite Kubo passed away, no more Bleach."

Then i'll die from surprise that it actually ended. Hazzah!

since most dubs bastardize honorifics, what is the dub version of "KUROSAKI-KUUUUUUUUUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"?

I've watched up to about 135 of the dub, and all I've heard Orihime call him was "Ichigo".

Hey, I'm trying to figure out the correct translation for Eppisode 215 / Chapter 317
when Ulquiorra is talking to Orihime about Hearts/Soul, in the anime it seems translators used "what is a soul? If I ripped open your chest would I see it?" and in the manga they used "What is a heart? If I ripped open your chest would I see it?" Both which seem kind of silly, since there is a "soul society" saying soul seems really dumb, and it's common knowledge eveyone has a beating heart muscle inside their chest. Actually I just thought.. Do Hollows actually not have hearts at all? Thus that could explain why Ulquiorra doesn't know about them when Orihime talks about it. And would probably mean Heart is the correct translation. I still wonder why the subbers used "Soul" though :S"

Langus
2010-04-13, 07:32
I always thought he was speaking in more abstact terms. So not the physical literal organ but the idea of the emotions we attribute to it and how they drive us to act. Being a logician Ulquiorra has very little understanding of why something as trivial as love could force someone to act one way over another or drive them to succeed. Thus why he asks the 20 questions.

Anyhow, I would err on the side of "heart" since ch 317 also bears the title "Six Hearts Will Beat As One". Continuing the theme then, Ulquiorra is talking about the heart. No idea as to why the subbers decided to use soul - perhaps because the idea of the soul is abstract it fit will with the point of emotion being abstract. Who knows.

kamyu
2010-04-13, 11:58
the sub translation of that line is even more dubious when you consider that they translated the same word to heart when orihime says it earlier in the same episode.

also, we were given a set up to the abstract heart idea with rukia's flashbacks with kaien.

The way I see it is, if he doesn't come back and read all your guys's posts, he will get to watch the whole Ichigo vs Ulquiorra fight at once, instead of having to watch it bit by bit. So in a way, I'm doing him a favor. :heh:

Dude I give up, you are the best troll ever. The way you can just spout childish retorts and cling to your misguided beliefs really puts me to shame.
But just in case you are being serious:

Aizen said that by the time he had discovered that the Hogyoku was hidden in Rukia, she had gone missing in the real world. Rukia didn't get her Gigai until she got to Karakura.
