Bleach 362 Discussion

The new chapter is out.

I really liked the art in this one. Starrk just looks cool. However, I can't be the only one that was reminded of Soul Eater when Starrk argued with with his gun?

Sorry if this post isn't long enough. I don't really know what else to say about this chapter.

The soul eater thing was called way before the chapter came out. :D But thank goodness Lilynette wasn't completely gone.

I enjoyed the chapter, it's nice seeing a bit of comedy return to Bleach. However, I have to wonder how long this fight will last.

Unf, unf, unf.... I've had to read the chapter three times now. Still processing the wonderfulness. Stark has a space-time ability and wtf is Ukitake's? This is going to be awesome.

Am I seeing things or did Shunsui cut his own hat in two on p 8? OMG I *love* sneaky-ass Shunsui! He threw his hat in Starrk's face and cut through it to get him while Starrk was blinded. And Starrk got out of it! And then for Shunsui to make the 'poor me' face and say 'hey, not fair!' when Starrk fired like 14 ceros at him at once! OMG he is SUCH a manipulator! (And I hace to love him, because even if I was as badass as him, that's exactly how I'd fight.)

I didn't think it was possible to love Starrk more than I did but OMFG my heart was in palpitations during this chapter. Lonely Snarky Gunslinger Starrk I LURRRRRRVE YOU!!!! I actually got misty when Ulquiorra went down but if/when Starrk dies, I am going to WEEP!

"OMG he is SUCH a manipulator! (And I hace to love him, because even if I was as badass as him, that's exactly how I'd fight.)"

This. It's so freaking refreshing to see a fighter who thinks like a fighter. And one who actually wants to live instead of fighting solely for honour. XD

In my crack version of Bleach world, I just want these three to make the Three Musketeers; forget SS, the Royal Realm, and Aizen. XD

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

Forget the Three Musketeers--as someone else said in a previous thread, we're going with the Spanish theme here. THE THREE AMIGOS! XD

[lennan.livejournal.com]

LOL. See, I wanted to type out The Three Caballaros...but couldn't figure out if that was appropriate...all I know was that it's a Disney film. XD

But Three Amigos is much better. I imagine them all having drinks together.

[pogo2468.livejournal.com]

Shunsui is such a sneaky bastard, ne? And yet, I love it!! <3 This fight is a refreshing change from fights like the HitsuHarri fight. Shunsui means business now and he's not joking around anymore. That's the smart way to go, though, and the proper way to fight. He's fighting to survive and to win and using any means necessary.

And, YES, Stark is made of awesomesauce. Lonely boy is tied for second with Ulqui for my favorite Espada. I can't even imagine him dying. It hurts more knowing these three (Uki, Shunsui, Stark), could be friends and like some said, the 3 amigos <3

A shun and Ukitake tag-team. Cool.

Stark has a great outfit. I wonder if he'll live.

[riah-chan.livejournal.com]

It really was a cool chapter... I haven't been this interested for a while!

[lennan.livejournal.com]

Waiiit. So the last page is not the one that says "the end"? That's kind of...confusing. That chapter went too fast. D= Well, reading cnet's translation cleared up more things that reading the scanlation did. It sort of works better through text than in pictures, but hey at least it's different from prior manga endings. It's still too fast though. Which just means, I can't get enough of the trio of middle-aged men. I'm really amused by cnet's notes though.

Man, I want to know more about Starrk's abilities now...also, I'm wondering if Lilynette being uncooperative (in addition to having her own personality) is indicative of Starrk being closer to Shinigami than other Arrancar...seeing as we didn't get anything on their Swords outside of that's where their power is housed. It's interesting too that Starrk thinks it's a pain in the ass to resurrect.

I have no idea what Soul Eater is, so, er, it can't remind me of that. XD

[gully-moe.livejournal.com]

Well in Soul Eater there are some characters that transform themselves into weapons. Death the Kid, uses two guns who are sisters. One of them almost resembles Lilynette.

Mini rant: it's "metralleta" -_-U, you're doing a fansub, take time to consult people.

About the rest, interesting chapter. It's time to see some action from Shunsui and Ukitake's part.

[nomoreprinces.livejournal.com]

I noticed that too. BA's been referring to the properly spelled word. I don't know how Sleepyfans could have missed it. While I appreciate the speed with which they get the releases out. A little care and editing goes a long way.

[karkashan.livejournal.com]

And that's why I usually only download Maximum7 stuff, as they tend to use insanely accurate translations and of course their releases are so clean it makes my computer feel dirty.

[cyanglow]

This. Seriously. I love M7.

Besides, we all know Sleepyfans are pressured to GET THE CHAPTER OUT NOW by an impatient fandom. It's understandable that a rushed job would not be pristine or 100% accurate.

[nomoreprinces.livejournal.com]

I prefer Ju-Ni for the same reason. I had issue with some of their localizations/translation choices a while back and jumped to Ju-Ni/MangaRain

[karkashan.livejournal.com]

oooh! This seems like some juicy stuff!

Please, give examples.

[nomoreprinces.livejournal.com]

Nothing that major. I just had issue with M7's choice for "imbibe" for Szyael's release phrase. Up to that point there were some little things with editing, proofreading, and I think they had at the time a translator with some fandom bents and would tweak translations to suit fannon. But the "imbine" was the last straw.

[cclemon.livejournal.com]

I definitely thought it was reminiscent of Soul Eater. Glad to see the action's moving along here - I hope Kubo continues picking up the pace. :)

[regasssa.livejournal.com]

Shunsui and Ukitake were awesome in this chapter. Is it me, or is Ukitake performing some kind of 'Mirror move' with the Cero? I 'unno. I'm glad to see Ukitake protecting his friend, even if there was HAT MURDER in this chapter. Poor hat!

[nehalenia.livejournal.com]

It was hat sacrifice! Shunsui was the only one with a sword and it was hacked in two pieces. To me, that says how serious Shunsui is about this. It's squeeful!

[pixyteri.livejournal.com]

He..was playing with the gun's butt? ....

DIRTY KUBO DIRTY!!! AGH!!

Awesome chapter I love Stark's outfit. GOD he's hot.

[tsubaki99.livejournal.com]

Death The Stark FTW.

[gully-moe.livejournal.com]

LOL

[peca-06.livejournal.com]

Whoa, that went really, really fast, but was awesome o_O! Kyoriaku being a smart ass/sneaky with his attack, Stark's and Lilynette's (la metralleta lol) humorous moment XDDD "that is my butt, ow" hahaha and a UKITAKE - SUNSHUI tag team *faints* and what the f@k was Ukitake shooting? was that a... CERO???? Really great chapter, I enjoyed it thoroughly, but too short T______T *sniff*.

[secila80.livejournal.com]

Ahhh the hat! He killed his hat!!! Whew, Shunsui really gets serious when he gets serious. Who cares if he is acting silly, he is going in for the the kill with every move. Epic battle promises to be epic O_O especially with Ukitake jumping in . . .

SUNSHUIIII! *faints* UKITAKEEEEEEE!! *faints*
STAAAAAAARK!!! *falls into hawtness coma*

[karkashan.livejournal.com]

I just love how Lilynette was trying to keep silent while in gun form. (anyone think she might be embarassed about it?)

[antoinetteiv.livejournal.com]

I can't read any of these chapter ;_____; I can't get all spoiled when I'm only on volume 11.
but Stark being even more sexy?
~tries not to read chapter~
God this is so difficult!
LMAO

[tempest-frost.livejournal.com]

Oooh Soul Eater definitely. xD
Though I found that part lame. =/
But woohooo Ukitake. Yayyy.
I like the pair of Ukitake and Shunsui. =]
I do hope they defeat him without Bankai though. D=

[cyanglow]

I'm gonna throw out a guess that Ukitake's ability there wasn't exactly a cero, but something very similar and kido-based. We've got shunpo vs. sonido, I'll bet this is the shinigami equivalent to a cero, but not called cero.

Anyway. Fast chapter was fast. Shunsui cracked me up silly.

[nehalenia.livejournal.com]

Not to mention that Shunsui used like 2-3 different shikai attacks. (And I'd really like translations of what those were called.) When you've been around over 1000 years I guess you work out some pretty special moves.

[shiba-explosion.livejournal.com]

Starrk is officially the Gundam of Bleach. Seriously, you dont see suppressing fire like that from anything else but, like, the Strike Freedom.

O_o
