bleachnessToo Early To Trust is now scanlated and up at mangastream.
Knew it wouldn't be the end of Yammy yet. The guy's too Yammilicious to off yet. I reminded of Bleach fandom when everyone was crying for the end of Szayel already (eh, even I admit his Pinkness' show went on too long) but there was just something irresistable about his presence on the page--it's like when you're a kid and you keep tonguing that tooth that's about to fall out but won't let loose no matter what. It hurts and it doesn't but you just have to keep at it. Yammy's just so funny and wonderful and so SO DIMENSIONLESS that it's almost damn interesting. I mean, one can't go to town on a half dozen mythological references and nihilistic philosophies with him like with Ulquiorra's character. It's just funny that Yammy keeps getting BIGGER AND BIGGER.
I want him to get so big that he pops through the Dome and threatens Ishida and Orihime because dammit if I'm not impatient to see those two.
Oh the cover page for this chapter. I love how shounen manga and especially Kubo-sensei can switch gears so fast on the humor to tragedy. We've got Godzilla on steroids on one page and we anticipate all the Shinigami reduced to Keystone cops trying to deal with his ridiculous size and then suddenly we've got Shinji holding Hiyori and all his angst shown in the close-ups of his dropped shouler, the crinkle in his nose. Then the drawing of Hiyori panting little white breaths and looking more beautiful that we've ever seen her. *clutches heart* Oh Shinji.
The fanbois will moan about the wasted panels but I live for those close-ups--yes, that one of Shinji's finger as he lays Hiyori down and there's "I'm not going anywhere" in the accompanying text bubble (is it Shinji speaking to Aizen? ... because oh oh oh). If you finish reading this chapter in less the time it takes you to read another talkier shounen chapter in Jump, you're reading it too fast. Kubo draws those panels so you can look at them because they tell an important part of the story too. Look at that panel again and tell me you don't see the beauty of it.
As for Aizen's speech, I think Kubo's going all religious imagery on us again just in time for Christmas and I already babbled about that in today's earlier post.

Kenpachi's 'Eh' face made me laugh.
And then I found myself transfixed by prettiness (feet, pretty feet) and wham -
Oh, ow, Shinji and Hiyori. Ow.
I adore Shiniji's furious face. Probably because even though I know when he yelled for Ichigo it was for the pretty dramatic entrance/ chance to switch, I was a tad peeved he didn't look furiously ticked-off, bad-ass reincarnate so - yay at his anger. Yay yay.
And then it was back to the ow.
I love the harshness that was not gore and all ow and oh and - I must be mad but I loved those panels.
"You place too much faith in that boy" is pretty much what everyone has been harping about and it's interesting to see how it's put across 'he is my friend, why won't I?' instead of the 'SAVIOUR!HERO!' vibes that's oozing.
The more Aizen preached, the more I saw him getting well - pwnd. Speeches don't bode well, especially for evil overlords.
The spoilers ruined any 'Tousen is/is not Vizard' reactions. And now because it looks so dramatic I don't expect him to be a Vizard (too expected so it musn't be? Too expected so it's not expected and then it is and that's unexpected?) Tsk.
But still, oh pretty chapter. Good chapter. I very much like.

Too Early Too Trust The End Is Near? O_O
Is it something terribly obvious and I am just being oblivious?
... why in heavens name did Yammy's 'unforgivable' roar remind me of Death Note? Was it a quote? Something? Oh this is will annoy me till I figure it out.
