Hi everyone! This is Otoha, your new Manga writer ^__^
I’ll be writing about Naruto and Bleach and if time allows, more popular Mangas such as D.gray.man. I hope you like it.
Bleach; this Manga gave meaning to my life! I’ll be honest, I’m a bleach freak. Just to tell you how much I love it, 3 weeks ago I went to buy a Katana in N.Y. I found a Japanese store and there I saw a beautiful blue-gray Daikatana. What did I do? Of course I took it out of its scabbard, hold it right in front of me and said “Ban-kai!” but nothing happened (still wondering why) Worse was the reaction of the manager, he asked me if I was drunk and that I should Not come to a place with dangerous items when I’m high! So mean T_____T
In any case, I will review chapters 277 through 286 and then the recent chapters in the next entry.
Let’s go directly to the last major battle in Bleach; the best one in my opinion so far, the Ichigo – Grimmjow fight.
Man I was waiting for this forever! To see Ichigo in his full potential once again since Zaraki fight.
Take that you sucker!
That over confident-one-hand-always-in-his-pocket Ulquiora just had to be gone so Ichigo could have his fight. The short battle between espadas was just amusing. Using cero right at the start showed how serious grimmy was but what surprised me was seeing the effect on ulquiera. Almost nothing happened to him! He took 3 of them head on and he didn’t even flinch! Is there that much of a difference between those two? Is it Ok to overpower ulquiera that much? Anyway, he’s gonna have it one day!
Just had to say this, according to me girlfriend, this is how a true man should behave X___X
I hope she doesn’t mean I have to go out there getting my ass kicked, fighting random guys to death just to show her my love…
A determined Iichigo
After Ichigo doing his Bankai, which in my opinion was his coolest transformation compare to all of his other battles, he showed he is very well capable of fighting grimmy in this form. Do you remember the first time they fought? Ichigo couldn’t even touch him let alone injuring him but little resolve goes a long way.
Then Grimmjow gives some lame ass excuse to why he kept that scar. Apparently he is after some eyes!!!
And finally to show his true evilness he does what Noitora is excellent at; attacking the weak. He uses his most powerful cero just to get “Him” out. I’ll be honest; I don’t like it when they attack the bystanders in the fight. What the hell do they have to do with anything anyway? If you want to show your power, beat the crap out of the guy, let that girl alone.
Speaking of Orihime, I actually have a lot to talk about but I’ll leave that for when I write about Noitora. Yes, like most of you I think she is the most useless character in Hueco Mundo (read entire bleach!) and just for no reason she was granted the power of Jesus to bring back the dead. I mean come on! Ichigo and those two little aranchers that guarded her were gone for good and she just happened to bring them back? Reasoning behind her evolution? Reasons are for pussies! You know it is one of those bleach moments that you just accept it and move on.
He transformed to a coil?!
And here the fun starts. I was always wondering what Grimmjow’s release would look like. It was everything I hoped it would be. According to him, Ichigo is no match for him in this form but I happen to disagree. In my eyes they were pretty equal until grimmy started talking shit and pissed Ichigo off. At that point Ichigo showed his real power.
For the first time since S.S Arc, Ichigo was fighting to win with his instincts, he was fighting to beat his enemy no matter what, and he knew defeat is death; for him and everybody else.
Chapter 282, my favorite chapter of all time, started fantastic by showing Halibel but what made it for me was the amazing fight and especially the last page. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind Ichigo with his mask on is as powerful as Grimmjow’s released form. He is pushing it to the limits. And them comes the last page. The very first time I saw this I cried. Call me a crybaby but it was too much for me. I love Ichigo, I read bleach only to see him kicking ass but that last panel had so much emotion into it. How can you read it and not feel anything? This page is the reason why I read bleach and why I love it to death.
Grimmjow’s past
Hmm, ever wondered how evil characters first came to power? Grimmjow proved to be a rough character from the very start. With the goal of becoming a vastalorde, he and his friends went to Aizen. Now here is an important point, my impression from this chapter is that the current espadas are not vastalordes yet. I’ve seen many comments on the net about the single digit espadas being all vastalorde, well Grimmjow specifically mentions that is not true, at least in regard to himself.
OMGz Kuruuusaki-kyun!
Does she have anything else to say? My good god, she’s just standing there watching him getting his ass kicked. So much for a future girlfriend (come on, you know it will eventually happen!)
Now grimmy goes ape shit! Showing his Final Solution, he uses his most powerful attack. It clearly shows why he was kicked out of espada when he lost his arm; he basically lost half of his strength. To the people who screamed about “plot hole” every other goddamn chapter, this should be considered a kick in the balls!!
And then comes the “instinct” part. We all remember ichigo’s battle with shirosaki(the white Ichigo) and that one moment when he had his sword 2/3 in his body cutting his lungs into two half and pouring at least 23 litters of blood (mind you if THAT doesn’t kill Ichigo, Grimmjow’s fangs won’t either!)
Having gone through all that, he finished the fight in style. Telling Grimmjow he is the one who will kick Aizen’s tea-drinking-ass, that he is the one who will surpass his manipulating boss, ulquiera and all other espadas. Seeing his determination, Grimmjow for the first time, completely gave up. They say sometimes pictures speak for themselves; a clear example is this one.
And just like that, we got to the last chapter just before the Noitora (that cheater!) enters the battle with his strike-from-behind technique! I’ll cover the next few chapters in my next review. The mother of all battles and perhaps the single most anticipated fight in bleach, Noitora-Zaraki, will have its unique review after that.
This is my first review and I promise the next ones will be much better. I just wasn’t sure if you like the humor in my review or not so I didn’t use it much. I tend to keep it short and fun to read. So please don’t expect a complicated supa-dupa analysis. This is a review from a crazy fan for all bleach lovers.
Don’t be shy to post all your nice comments, compliments and more compliments in the comment section.
If you have some criticism, you can write it in font 2 size in white with a spoiler tag so no one would notice it

hell yeah bleach rules my world, too! nice review LOL ban-kai in front of people LOL (i almost fell off my chair, i cannot imagine the manager’s face and mind).. it was a little early i think. do not be upset, i am sure you can reach it soon
. btw what’s your shikai?
YAY!! A Bleach reviewer ^^ thanx 4 bloggin abt the chapters that were very confusing that i wish it was soul society arc allover again (or wait…the latest one IS SS all overagain)It made a lot of things clearer– however i vehemently beg to differ on the choice of name that accompanies the word future girlfriend-I believe it’s Rukia, NOT Orihime lol ^^
oh, blogging abt D Grayman manga wd be heavenly
this is the best post i have ever read
Finally, after months of no Bleach Chapter reviews, someone finally updated it.
Bring the Bleach Reviews up to date, then review the other stuff. Anyway isn’t it obvious who Ichigo will go after since Rukia is like, oh I dunno, over 150 years old and he’s 15-16 (unless he’s into older women)
Impz sells out to the masses to get more hits!!
rukia is 150 years old but her age equals ichigo’s. she is not old. time flows different at ss compared to earth. however she obviously has a longer life experience than ichigo’s but this is not mean she is an older woman. if you think that way then pink yachiru-chan is also an older woman to ichigo.
Haiz… Are the american’s high on bleach? or are they just suckers for a ever continuing storyline like their own cartoons? ala Superman, batman, even dexter the bay genius…
haiz…
Whoa. Massive anti-long-story-camper flood oncoming.
I, for one, appreciate any reviewer who can give me the short stint of a neverending story. Somebody did the dirty work for me, so I don’t have to read it all through to keep up on the story.
This truly is the standard for excellent anime blogging
Welcome to the blog, looking forward to more manga reviews so I know what to buy when it gets over to the states =)
hmm… haven’t read bleach for a couple months. I got kinda’ annoyed with the girl gets taken away(leaves willingly actually), so have to go save her, and thus fight a bunch of cool one-on-one battles, showing how cool we’ve become storyline. I mean honestly! This Orihime isn’t the same one that kicked some hollow and shinigami butt earlier. True, she’ll never be a fighter, but I thought she was training determinedly to improve? *fumes at manga-ka for ruining a perfectly good fight story*
Anyways despite my distaste for some developments in Bleach, you did leave an excellent summary/review. thanks. *is actually tempted to try to read these chapters again*
i was hoping this post got no comments… lol.
This blog just got a whole lot better
Great review of Ichigo/Grimmy’s fight!
Thanks everyone for your wonderful comment. It is really hard to answer to each comment since I have so much to say to each one
so if you guys don’t mind, I’ll only answer the questions 
Once again, this is my first review, so your beautiful comments mean so much to me. Thank you for your support! Vote for me in 08!
@irem
Yey! Another crazy bleach Fan! You know, it has become a habit of mine to say a line or two from Bleach each day. My bleach stories are so many, I don’t know which one is crazier, but this one is the most recent one. Almost everyday, I grab a shirt from its sleeves, swing it around and say Getsuga Tenshou!! You feel powerful for some reason. Those are symptoms of reading to much bleach but I’m having so much fun I can’t stop!
@Danie
As soon as my exams are over, I’ll start reviewing D.Gray.Man. It is one of the most violent Mangas I’ve ever read!
@Linya
Read Bleach in volumes, that helps a lot. In my next entry, I’ll write a bout it. It seems some people don’t like chapter-to-chapter trend. I highly recommend not reading bleach for a while (like a month or 2) at all and then read all 8 or 9 chapters at once. I promises you’ll notice the difference.
@dKiWi
T_____T
Otoha…I did that with my katana too and strangely, nothing happened either
You know what it is right? We need more training
BLEACH RULZ!!!!!
(sorry..just had to get that out of my system) 
Sorry just had to add (after reading everyone’s comments)…Ichigo can’t get together with Rukia! Has everybody forgotten about the coolest Shinigami in the house…Renji Abarai?!?! Even though I don’t really like Rukia (as much as i used to) I still want Renji to be happy LOL! Orihime and Ichigo…I can live with that
Welcome to the blog!
Aren’t I glad someone else can be bothered to blog this tripe. I used to love Bleach, but I couldn’t stand a single chapter since the Hueco Mundo arc began. Now that Zaraki and Yachiru-chama are here, I hope things will start looking up!
Nice blog! I’m glad to see someone blogging my favorite Mangas. I totally love Bleach, Naruto, and D.Gray-man. I haven’t read the Mangas in a few months but I do enjoy watching the current animes. I believe the voice actors to a good job and they keep me wanting more. I liked how you added a little real-life experience to your love of the anime. Nice touch! I will be looking forward to your next blogs… ciao
I can’t decide if you are being serious or not. Made me laugh anyway.
Anyway, nice blog you guys have!
Your blogposts are really good
especially for us bleach fans
Awesome blogpost! I like Bleach a lot less than I used to, but your entry sparked some interest for me in the manga again. I’ll have to keep reading your entries to keep up with the manga, no time to devote to reading the chappies myself
.
I also beg to differ on the future girlfriend issue. It must be Rukia-san…because she can knock sense into Ichigo. Do we REALLY want Ichigo to have a gf who can only scream Kurosaki-kunnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn! x.X
Rukia kicks butt and drags Ichigo out of his funks (physically, if she has to).
oh my goodness…i’m so addicted to Bleach!!!
i like your point of view of those chapters and some of your comments are pretty dayuum funny!!!
Great sum-up
I am so incredibly relieved to FINALLY see some continued growth and progress from Ichigo – I was getting worried, but I guess he just needs a kick in the emotional pants.
Neither Rukia nor Inoue are worthy as they are now. Both have been annoying in their own fashion. I’m still waiting to see if someone else steps up. Bleach was a dragging a bit – but we’re gaining momentum now – I hope it keeps up!
Ichigo just needs to cut grimjows head off save orihime take her bach to his house and fuck her
hard!!!
no joke!!!
really really hard!!! so hard blood drips from her vigina. and she turns sensless for the rest of her life.!!!!!!!!!!!
* WOW, THIS REVIEW SOUNDED LIKE IF IT WAS WRITTEN BY A PROFESSIONAL! I REALLY ENJOYED IT! I’VE NEVER READ MANGA BEFORE BECAUSE I DON’T LIKE TO KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT!
*I KNEW Ichigo and Grimmjow would eventually fight, but I never thought of who would win! I now know Ichigo will win!
* I found this page by mistake! BLEACH FOREVER!
Damn thanks for the spoiler >:(
Bleach is the coolest animation in the planet actually I would only to watch the final fight between Ichigo and Shirosaki
IT ROCKS
What yould happen if it cancles
Narrorator:Blech is cancleded
Me:FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU– *Commits suicide*
(10 mins later)
(World ends)
Compared to naruto bleach quality is better and has more stuff about sex
Naruto its more about powerfull battles and fights but 521 …. 5th Great World War and the manga is gona end
This was a really good chapter, I also enjoyed the anime version although a lot of people disliked it, bleach is a good series, sadly they aren’t making new anime episodes at the moment.
With any luck after the manga is over they will continue making new episodes(even if it’s under a different series name sort of like DB > DBZ or Naruto > Naruto Shippuden).
