[Manga] Chapter 225 Discussion

[hi no ken Jebus]

"Slip into my Barrier"

Spoiler:

Orihime is standing before the building wondering why nothing is approaching the building. She talks about how strong the barrier is and how it erases it's very presence. Switch to Hiyori who is teaching ichigo more about his mask control. Ichigo is able to bring it out with no problem now but it crumbles and Hiyori drop kicks him. She yells at him about the motion being too slow, followed by the other vaizards talking about Ichigo's progress, the rider suits girl, whose name is Shiro asks why is Ichigo doing this and Kensei tells her in order to extend the amount of time he can wears his mask.

Kensei tells her to do it as well and they argue about it for a while. Hachigen tells Hirako someone is outside the barrier, they all get surprised and start asking who is it. Kensei finds Orihime, who starts asking where the bathroom is. He gets pissed but the other vaizards show up including Ichigo. She tells him about the key business which surprised him a bit. He tells her he'll stop aizen which is why he came to learn from them. Orihime then leaves and says she must become strong as well and chapter ends with a mysterious shadow appearing.

Just finished reading the last 15 chapters! I can't believe Hinamori's finally back. It's been... a year? Now the story can get started up again.

And she still wants to save Aizen, as I hoped she would. I still think there's hope in that relationship of theirs.

Shame Ichigo hasn't been killed off yet...

Looking forward to reading this chapter.

Golden Week starts this Saturday. That's why there's a chapter for Bleach. I suppose Naruto and OP should be out soon, too.

On the chapter. It's interesting that Orihime's powers are similar to the one Hachi uses (It's not mentioned in the summary. I read that in the translated script.). Which means it's similar to kidou?? Mhm... maybe the origin of kidou is not with the Shinigami, but with someone/something else and Orihime is a decendant of that someone/something? I dunno, but I think that's more plausible than Orihime having hollow-powers.

@@||| is it meee or the chapters of bleach are getting boring........ like no actiion or anything good happening......... it's been how many chapters since we saw ichigo train?! aren't y'all getting bored of it too? -___________-|||
225 was kinda boring in my opinion, lookin forward for 226

editt// and yes this topic should be stickied =P

[voldy18]

Exposition and development is necessary for a good plot. Naturally, it's a bit difficult to cover everything in one chapter if you only have 19 pages to work with. So it's only logical that it takes a few chapters before the next fight.

Between, this is only the third chapter after Ichigo finished the fight with his hollow.

Action is overrated. What makes a manga great is the plot behind all the action ... or it is for me at least.

Hell, I only prefer Bleach over Naruto because of the intriguing storyline (I hate both Naruto and Ichigo, those lil punks need to lose a limb).

[KanaKaishou]

In b4 the sticky.

A pedestrian chapter, not great, but not bad.

Typically when the male stabs the female and leaves her to bleed, its a good indicator theres not going to be a relationship. Real life or Anime.

[Biswa]

Indeed Mobius! And hopefully an relationship between those two results in death. That would be a sure fire way to end that one, yes?

Also it seems Ichigo is no longer the child prodigy that we have so far been led to believe... well as of now. The vizards seem infinitely strong no matter how much training Ichigo is doing, so it's sort of strange to see Ichigo being the weakest of the bunch. I wonder if that'll ever change, especially now that he's heard the news from Inoue (which would give motivation for him to accelarate is training tenfold).

Also anyone got a feeling that the shadow is Ishida? Any other guesses?

[PhantomX]

I also agree that in manga, plot is what counts ... when they transition to the anime though, they better draw out the fights and make them damn spectacular XD

but seriously? Bleach is becoming like Naruto, they stretched it out so much. probaly it'll be like One Piece in the end... probaly Naruto & Bleach will never end... probaly in around 10 years or 20 years or so and we will get a crap ending =O

that's what i'm worried about............................................. .

[PhantomX]

I think Bleach is much more fast paced than the Naruto manga ... and they manage to provide pretty good plot development for the billion characters they have (which naruto manga lacks)

I dont know.. he should be training with his pops so he shouldnt be wasting his time on something that isnt important to him. Gaining back his powers is more important than anything right now. I think its isshin or yourichi or some ss person. If it was ss, they better do some quick talking before they get a quick death.

[arankar84]

Anyone thinks that Ishida now can get along with Ichigo coz Ichigo is technically not a Shinigami already. So Ishida will not be breaking his promise with his dad.

[PhantomX]

Lol, Uryuu DOES seem like the type of person that would take advantage of a loop-hole like that XD

[Biswa]

Well apparently Ishida's father's exact request was to cut off all connections with "All shinigami AND their friends." That's rather broad, and wouldn't Ichigo count as one of their friends then? Someone check the translation or validity of that statement?

[Scep]

hmm... i havent gotten my chapter 225, but anyone can jsut let me take a peek at the screenshot ( or pageshot XD ) ? Lets all guess

[Wolcik]

I don't think that Bleach is having the same streach plot like Naruto, as for me it seemed as Kubo had this thing goig to this point from the begining, so after the great battle of SS and Henco... it's over.
There was a scenery changes like going to and ending the SS arc, but that's all.

Unlike Naruto when new characters just keep on poping out of nowhere just to make the story longer (maybe Orohimaru and Itachi were foretold, but I feel like their co-workers like Akatsuki and Orohimaru's subordinates were added when needed)

[epyon96]

In order for bleach to become Naruto, the characters of Bleach need to degrade to the one-sided Naruto level. Right now, the characters of Bleach keep it entertaining and an interesting experience to watch.
