And they seem to be getting to the point a lot quickier....Done with One Piece

OT: One Piece is an adventure story, unlike Bleach, so it is bound to have very long storylines. Also, I don't know what you call as high-point, but Water 7 and Enies Lobby arcs have powerful moments and they have major importance regarding the main story. Also, I don't think it is dragging, unlike Bleach or Naruto, it doesn't have to present continuous action just to make the (majority of the) reader feel that the story is on course.

Hmm.. I was reading over some of the earlier chapters and something that Hichigo said when Ichigo defeated him in the inner world in chapter 221 struck me. Hichigo says "If you really intend to have control over my power... then, until I decide to appear the next time... do your best not to die. Take care, got it!?" Now, with the darkness appearing around Ichigo, I'm more convinced that it's Hichigo that will appear again and Ichi is in for a power up in form of "really" learning to control Hichigos power. Atleast that's the feeling I'm getting at the moment. Meh, probably a pointless observation, I figure most people have come to the same conclusion before.

I'm repeating myself, but I'm hoping that, what's unlikely though, Hichigo says something like "Now look at what you have done... Do you remember what I said...Now it's my time to be king... Meh don't worry I take care of everything while you can rot here..." *Teleports away from Ichigo's inner world*...

Hmm.. after reading that, I had a mental pic of Hichi, while in control, walking up to Aizen and basicly going " Yo, what's up?" with a cocky grin on his face.

Think about all possibilities and angst, drama with Orihime and his friends when they got to know that, that would be something different and new, even just for while... It don't always have to be "typical" shonen action plot, though I haven't watched too much those, but I'm thinking that'd be like a fresh wind.

i have nothing new to add about 273, but i did want to say this to the manga readers:

in ep124 when Hisei is fighting with ichigo hollow (not hichigo... wichigo maybe?) and ichigo's arm has gone totally hollow, it sure as hell looks exactly like the LAD (Chad's left arm of the devil). since chad's powers were supposedly awakened by ichigo, then has ichigo's improved vizard state rubbed off on chad? i'm only saying this now cuz we actually saw ichi's hollow arm animated.

There is a big difference between those two cases though. Ichigo was in the spiritual state, when that happened, whereas Chad was in his human form.

And, are we sure that Ichigo's power is the reason the people around him received powers? Maybe, they have that power just like Ichigo has his own.

I think there was something said about that. The fact that Ichigo just lets his spirit energy spill out it effects the people always around him and that's why C's, VC's use the limit.

We know Chad's has been Hollow for quite some time...It was classified originally as other. But don't you remember the other arm he obtained. If I am not mistaken...That hollow.

thhhhaaaaaaaaaankkkkkkkkkkkkks alooooooooot

it's very nice manga ^_^

[Zu Ra]

L.A.D. looks very similar to Aichigo Arm . KT must have used that as reference while designing L.A.D.

[Scep]

Hmm in a way i guess so. They're both white. I think RAOG looks nicer.

[lommm]

RAG is way cooler looking. but LAD did that badass giant skull thing, so it's a toss-up.


argggh. stupid golden week.

Neither of those seems surprising to me.

i don't tnk grimjow protecting inoue is an act of loyalty to aizen, by protecting the girl he treasures right now. i believe it is as he said, returning the favour for his right arm. afterall, it allowed him to return being no.6. it's no act of chivalry either for he only regard owing favours as troublesome matters that waste emotions.

various speculations for the new favour he 'asked' from inoue but i don't think it'll be a betrayal of some sort towards aizen. however, i'm rather sure that grimlow realised inoue's importance to ichigo (and group, hence the rescue, duh), and is thinking of a way to make use of her so that he can have a rematch with ichigo.

He hasn't revealed any intention to betray Aizen yet, but he's already acting in defiance because there's simply no way that Aizen-sama would allow Inoue to be used for Grimmjow's personal goals. I'd say that if or when Aizen finds out what he's up to, Grimm has more than just his arms to worry about. But most likely he realizes this already and his plan takes this into account, or he's being really reckless.

As for using Inoue to get a rematch against Ichigo, it seems like if Grimmjow wanted to fight Ichigo right now, he could've just as easily tracked him down and forced him to fight like Ulq did. But I don't know, his reasons for abducting Orihime might still involve Ichigo somehow. However, I'm not sure if this is the only reason.

[Ichimaru]

grimmjow is not protecting inoue, its the assets she has his interested in
