Reborn chapter 283

Here begins The Inheritance Ceremony arc of Reborn!



Kyoko kawaiiyo Kyoko! ^O^
Tsuna is glad that he came to the school thanks to Kyoko-chan. (But poor Tsuna is once again feeling uneasy due to the letter from the 9th about the inheritance ceremony LOL)
...and some mysterious transfer students arrive at Namimori...


Hayato was so funny in this chapter. I liked how this chapter had comedic atmosphere like the earlier chapters did. (Awww I kinda miss the daily life arc somehow) ...oh and I like that new character named Kozato Enma already.


I'm sure Enma is super strong when he's in the battle mode like Tsuna. ...and good to see you Hibarin~ (What the hell is that pile of papers? For club activities?)


Hibarin...Don't get beaten up by a new girl when the new arc just started, okay? I hope Hibarin will get lots of character development in this arc... (I mean he's cool but his character lacks depth and he's turned into a rather boring character lately...)


Yes, there's something definitely up with Enma. (His eyes look like...Sharingan? LOL) I wonder if he's going to be an ally or a rival in this arc... (Btw Tsuna... How could you get beaten up by some random bastards at your school when you defeated Byakuran in the future. Shame on you, boy... LOL


Anyway I must say the new arc started in a pretty exciting way! I wonder if the guy with glasses in the color page on Enma's side is Kawahira? Anyway I'll be looking forward to see how the story will unfold.

Bakuman chapter 79

Takagi finally speaks up! Yes, so Mashiro and Takagi are quitting Tanto but they have to come up with something interesting in next 6 months in order to stay with Jump. Yes, that was a rash decision they made there but you know...young people chasing after their dreams can be foolish. ^_^;


Shizuka-kun sure has that aura of Yagami Light. LOL It looks like the next match will be Team Ashirogi Mutou vs Shizuka Ryu for the next serialization meeting.

Bleach chapter 397

I was confused whether I was reading Bleach or Tsubasa Chronicle. Aizen pulling hitsuzen...LOL


HELL YEAH ISSHIN
Isshin showed up earlier than expected. Anyway it looks like the story will at least go somewhere. I can't wait to see Ichigo's reaction.


On a side note here, I'll be posting about Bakuman chapter 79 before Reborn chapter 283 since Reborn posting will be a bit longer. (Due to the new arc starting)

Reborn! - Future arc talk

Since a lot of Reborn fans were talking about this topic, I thought I can write something about it also. It's basically what I liked and disliked about the future arc that ended recently.


Top 3 enjoyments
1) Certain characters that made their first appearance in the future arc (Fran, Gamma and Uni in particular)
2) 10 years later versions of the characters
3) Lots and LOTS of cool power ups for the guardians


Top 3 disappointments
1) Later part of the arc was too rushed with many characters not flashed out properly
2) Lack of Varia and Hibari
3) Some characters not showing up with their 10 years later versions (Naito Longchamp<=Too bad he's not in the anime, Lanchia, Dr. Shamal...)

Bakuman anime + chapter 78

The character design of upcoming Bakuman anime is revealed for the first time and they look totally awesome!!! ^O^ They look like they came right out of Obata-sensei's color pages. I'm sure this will be a great anime since they got the director of Honey & Clover with J.C. Staff involved.

...and as for chapter 78 of Bakuman manga...
I felt so bad for Mashiro and Takagi. I mean they want to end Tanto and the editorial department is not letting them since Tanto is getting kids' votes... (Marketing strategy, that's right...) ...and if they quit the series here, they have to leave the magazine...??? Oh geez, another cliffhanger end for this chapter. I doubt that Mashiro and Takagi will leave the magazine though...

Bleach chapter 396

So here are what happened in this chapter basically:
-Yama-jii apparently sacrificed himself, which means he's probably...dead? Wut?
-Ichigo did slash Aizen but his body regenerates...using the power of hougyoku implanted in his body...Huh? That hougyoku he left at Las Noches was a fake one then?
-Aizen revealed that Ichigo's adventure as a shinigami from day 1 up till now had been all according to his plan...What the hell?







...I MEAN, WHAT THE F*CK???

Can somebody tell me Ichigo is just dreaming here...? I mean not only Yama-jii is gone(well...who knows, he might recover...) without showing off his bankai, Aizen has been watching Ichigo since chapter 1 of Bleach...? Oh lord...Just when I thought Aizen could not get any more ridiculous, this chapter proved that his horror is just about to begin. TOT Maybe Aizen personally knew Isshin...? Well, I hope Isshin shows up soon...

Reborn chapter 282

Yama kawaiiyo Yama! >O< Yamamoto's smile is always great. Haha, it looks like Squalo-taichou is doing fine too. ^O^


Awww... Chrome and Mukuro... I hope Mukuro is not using Chrome for his sake as M.M. said... Maybe he intended to at first but I'm sure he really cares about her now. (Yeah, M.M.... You are just jealous, b*tch...) ...and Bianchi tells Hayato a story so that his misunderstood opinion towards his father can be cleared up.


Hell yeah, Colonello x Lal!!! ^O^ Awww... I'll miss hawt Lal of this future arc. TOT


So Tsuna and co. are finally back to their time! Good to see Tsuna's maman again! ^O^ I wonder if her memory about Tsuna going missing is gone. (Probably something is done with the power of Trinisette...)


Future versions are HAWT darn it.
Looking mighty fine there, Basil. Good to see future Chrome too. ^O^ Too bad we still could not see how future Tsuna looks like. (Well, I'm sure he'll look like Giotto-sama...)


So that was the conclusion of the future arc. The most interesting thing that happened in this chapter is with Uni's(and other Arcobaleno's) power, some people in the past now obtained the memory of the battles that happened in the future. (...and the page showed Dino, Mukuro and Xanxus of past... Now that should be something since they know what the future versions of themselves did...) Of course the biggest question left for now is who is uncle Kawahira... (Although I'm more concerned about Fran~ Gosh, there was no Fran at all in this chapter but hopefully the little Fran of past will have the memory from the future also...) Anyway Reborn is getting the lead color pages in Jump next week so I can't wait to see how the new arc will start off... I'm sure it will be epic!

Bakuman chapter 77

Hell yeah, Shizuka-kun finally submits his name~ ^O^ I hope he'll become another great rival for Mashiro and Takagi.



For some reason, this scene was so Hikaru no Go... LOL


Anyway great chapter this week. I loved Mashiro x Azuki moments and Miyoshi looked great in her wedding dress but Takagi...he looked weird with his hair combed like that LOL. ...and I like how Mashiro looks so manly now. (I like how Obata-sensei expresses the flow of time so well with his characters in his mangas - Hikaru no Go and Death Note were like that also) So yeah, stand up Team Ashirogi. Gotta beat Eiji with a new great manga.

Bleach chapter 395

If Aizen easily blocks or dodges the attack right at the beginning of the next chapter...Ichigo, you are so fired

So here is the summary of Yamamoto vs Aizen battle:

-Aizen had Wonderweiss as a backup to seal Yamamoto's zanpakutou (Aizen gets a point)
-Yamamoto's overwhelming hand-to-hand combat skill pwns Wonderweiss (Yamamoto gets a point)
-Defeated Wonderweiss blows up and injures Yamamoto (Aizen gets another point)
-Yamamoto grabs Aizen and gives him a surprise attack (Yamamoto gets another point)
So yeah, the battle ends with 2:2 which is a bloody tie.

Anyway it was sad to see Yama-jii getting injured so badly like that. I hope he's not dead. It was good seeing Aizen hurt though~ (Lose your cool already, you Mr. Know-it-all) I am looking forward to see how Ichigo, as a protagonist, will handle the situation.

Reborn chapter 281

Absolutely lovely >_<

So Uni has also created eternal peace for the future with her power by sacrificing herself(as well as Gamma). Wow, she has done so much for everyone. TOT The thing is the next villain of the series is coming soon. (Oh geez, I feel sorry for Tsuna already)


Kita---!!!
So Colonello and other Alcobaleno's are back! ^O^


Fon kawaiiyo Fon!!! >O<
I hope to see more of Fon in the next arc. (Fon=Gentler chibi version of Hibari)
So I guess Tsuna and co. can go back to the past in the next chapter. But I hope to see some epilogues for this arc. (I would appreciate more Fran though...) Oh and Xanxus-sama was so scary in this chapter but that was so like him LOL. I guess Kikyou will continuously get beaten up by Varia since he's captured instead of getting killed.

Bakuman chapter 76

I'm sure a lot of readers were LOL at this picture. (Just smack him, Hattori-san)



Recently, I totally get why Eiji is the most popular character in Bakuman. He is just awesome.


So yeah, Team Ashirogi must quit drawing Tanto NOW and come up with a super awesome new manga. I'm sure they can. But first, they need to change their editor. LOL

Reborn chapter 280

So Uni and Gamma really ended up sacrificing themselves in order to send Tsuna and co. back to the past. (Noooooo TOT *sniff)


In the end, Byakuran still talked about how Uni was a mere tool for him. Damn him. He really deserves to get pwned by Tsuna's X-Burner. -_- But the surprising fact is that those girls from Cervello organization gave Byakuran his mare ring, which basically turned him into a bad@ss. I'm sure those Cervello people are going to be major villains someday.


So yeah, Byakuran is finished just like that. Wao, this battle ended faster than I thought but now I'm really looking forward to see what the next arc will be.
Actually there are some villains that are still remaining like Ginger Bread and Iris. ...and what about uncle Kawahira? What is he anyway? ...and Fran... In the end, he didn't fight for real... (Shame on you, frog!!!)
I must say this future arc had its ups and downs but overall, it was a very exciting arc to read. I'm sure Amano-sensei has more surprises for upcoming arc as well.

Bleach chapter 394

In the previous chapter of Bleach, we witnessed Wonderweiss stopping Yama-jii's zanpakutou. Aizen, who thinks he is so on top of everything, claimed that Yama-jii is so done for.



BUT




YAMA-JII CLAIMS THAT HE'S BEEN THE MARTIAL ARTS CHAMPION OF SOUL SOCIETY FOR LAST 1000 YEARS AND HE TOTALLY KICKS @SS EVEN WITHOUT HIS FREAKIN' ZANPAKUTOU.




WAO DIDN'T SEE THAT COMING.
This was a pretty good twist compare to some of the ones we've been seeing recently. Good job, Kubo-sensei. d^o^d Look at Yama-jii go. He moves like a ninja. (see the panel where he approaches Aizen)





Does this image remind you of anything?



GOUKI'S RAGING DEMON LOL (from Street Fighter...)


Anyway this was an excellent chapter and I hope that damn Wonderweiss is defeated for good after Yama-jii's attack at the end of this chapter. I hope to see Aizen losing his calm like Byakuran did too. Won't that be something?
