Chapter 302 post

Deb, I hope this is okay to post....

But after looking over Bleach 302 raw, I was inclined to make a post to ask how everyone else liked it.  The action is really picking up now, and the captains are kicking ass and taking names.

Two words: BYAKUYA AWESOMENESS.

Well, maybe more than two. It's been observed that maybe Kubo needs a vacation--there seem to be a few errors in this chapter--LeRoux's wound moves around for one. Recently there was speculation as to why Rukia's face cut was missing.

Kubo's made mistakes before--forgetting to draw Grimmjow's mask is my favorite--BUT what about this whole drawing Byakuya's zanpakutou in Rukia's hands this time?

It seems like a big error--seems like it takes some deliberation to draw a sword whereas forgetting a mask or misplacing a wound seem like natural errors.

Then there was the juxtaposition of Byakuya's Pride = Rukia and the whole thing about "you pointed your blade at my pride."

Intentional symbolism? A weird switch that Bya did? Kubo is staying up too late passing the doobie with Kishimoto?

I didn't recall Byakuya having the mark on his hand unitl I saw the color pic of him in last chapter...I thought the anacarr (sp) only took control of his leg!

As for the zanpuakutou, I really thought that was Rukia's sword, not Byakuya's. I see in the next to last panel Rukia was placed in a holding spell to prevent her from cutting herself, smart move.

I must not be an observant Bleach fan as I thought... I don't think I've noticed (or have I?) any errors that Tite made... I feel so ashamed! What's so puzzling about the errors is why ther are not seen before publication? Maybe they need to not rush into making that deadline with Jump and make sure to have fresh pair of eyes to look over their work, I don't know.

I can't wait for the tranlated update!

Kubo fixes the errors usually by the time the chapters go into volume publication.
