If you haven't heard the news by now; in brief this is the "shocker" spoiler for 304 and it just crowned Szayel Queen of Hueco Mundo and initiated the season of Szayelmas across the Bleach fandom far and wide.

* Rukia wakes up and talks with Byakuya, Ichigo asks Inoue to heal Nell

* Chad is revived also. Szayel survives by impregnating Nemu and being reborn

* Szayel tells of Fornicaras’s most important ability which he is also most proud of/boasts about.

* “The Annunciation (gaburie-ru) Gabriel(?)” It allows him to impregnate the enemy with himself.

* It involves penetrating the body/internal organs and leaving his spawn inside. The body is completely taken over before long.

* While pregnant and giving birth the mother is kept barely alive. Mayuri does an introduction and says …ho….

* So he has regenerated and returned for a rematch! And the fight of Aporro continues..

I had a delightful time on the forums today. From the comparisons of Szayel and powers to the Holy Trinity and/or Gaia/Shiva/Krishna to people making fun of Mayuri's one line ("ho") by comparing him to Santa Claus (my beloved Guildenstern said he was just badmouthing Nemu) to all sorts of speculation about Kubo's mental state (I swear, I swear--he and Kishimoto are smoking the same stuff together and giggling like schoolgirls---that's why there was a pregnant Orihime look-alike last week in Naruto)

This has been my favorite fan comment so far:

on another note... what the hell is KT on???
I'm really pissed off, the special chapter last week proved that he is capable of writing a good story.... its like he is doing this on purpose....

I want that on an icon. Or maybe I should make myself a t-shirt that says "I am married to Kubo Tite's authorial intent."

Also, in less Szayelistic news, there's a new interview from Kubo that came out with the latest movie promo and in it he says that Unohana won't be fighting soon because he's already got her fight planned for the next arc. The tidbit is over in the Kubo interviews thread at BA here

I dunno what Kishimoto's smoking, but I think Kubo's trying to out weird Sorachi.

He's not gonna win that one. XD

(Falls over laughing). Sazyel's seiyuu voiced Shiva in Saint Beast and Kenyuu (Siddhartha) in Saiyuki Burial. Thanks this just makes it more hilarious. Thank you for sharing.

How long has Kubo been writing/drawing Bleach... about 5 years or more now? That one story for so long, and it's become so popular... DUDE, I'd throw in the craziest shit I could think of and see if I could get away with it and have people still reading/buying it too! Just for personal amusement. Otherwise, I'd imagine it would get tedious.

I honestly think he should step away from it for a little while. Draw the freaky porn he so obviously seems to want to, get it out of his system, then go back to his action manga.

Though Bleach has become so weird I'm no longer weirded out by it, I now just laugh.

Okay. Somebody is having fun and he's getting paid for it/ ;) KT, you are so very crazy.

(Ah but Rumiko Takahashi is giving him a run for his money with a battle inside! the enemy.)

And here we were, a couple of weeks ago, so bothered by Orihime's implied rape with what-his-name's fingers in her mouth. Hmph.

Poor Nemu. Her victimization at the hands of men (including KT) leaves me feeling distinctly queasy.

I had no inkling that Ishida's little rant against being infested by Mayuri's bugs was just a set-up for this.

I want to have my own shirt made: KT needs a vacation! NOW!

Surely he can afford to spend two weeks in the red light district of Amsterdam to get all of these things out of his system? (What a patently stupid question... of course he can.)

Okay, I finally read the latest chapters of Bleach, and now nothing could make me happier than Szayel dying. The sooner, the better. Not because he defies morals on so many levels and I've been offended. Actually, I like that about him and it's really difficult for a writer to offend me. No, I want Szayel to die because the reason he survives is the most contrived piece of bullshit plot device I've heard all week, and I read School Rumble every week (or did when it was being translated).

I've been annoyed enough with the ridiculous lengths Kubo has gone to keep this fight is going (how many times has Szayel revealed his "true" powers to us now?), and we've got Captains randomly showing up to save the day and a woman showing up before Szayel just so he'll be able to impregnate someone.

Unohana gets to battle! Yay! And Nell gets healed!
*completely misses the point* I am still waiting on an arrancar release called coitus...

I'll make a trip to photoshop today, do you want me to make that icon for you?

Ichigo asks Inoue to heal Nell.

Why doesn't Ichigo just stab Orihime through the heart a few times and then twist? What's he going to do when he doesn't have her around to resuscitate his girlfriends?

(...you know, I never remember that edit function until AFTER I delete a comment. Sheesh.)

Oh FANDOM. <3 *points to icon* I love the idea that KT is so off his rocker with this whole Zael/Syzael/Hoochie Mama of HM thing that he needs to...get it out of his system. I bet he just got his own shipment of the sparkly purple crack in. 'Cause based on what I know of other Jump! authors, they all get their own shipments. KT's just not had his own for a while. ;)

(Though I do wonder how many chapters ahead he is. Has he ever said in interviews?)

This going to turn around and bite Szayel in the ass, just you wait. Mayuri's got some sort of self-destruct code for Nemu or something and it will work on Szayel because he used her body to regenerate.

I am really disgusted with what happeneds to Nemu poor girl! Its so nasty I was like 'Ewww' I am not readin those parts in the manga because I am very squeamish I am only reading the first few pages and when it gets nasty I am deleting those pics and keeping half the chapter!

I think KT needs to go out and date some girls man, get all of that out his system and come back and give us some decent chapters! When Szayel and Mayuri met I knew it was going to get nasty, I just didn't know how nasty!

[melodymix.livejournal.com]

Does KT respect his female character at all? First we have Rukia. Although her story is not that bad, having Renji, Kaien, Ukitake and Ichigo supporting her, but we have Hinamori, who has been stabbed by Aizen and gone depressed, we have Orihime who got beaten up, holds a jealously towards her friend, cries over a guy (Ichigo) and gets Noi's finger stuck in her mouth and gets called a "Pet", and now this? What the heck is KT thinking?

[vesperh.livejournal.com]

Oh, Lordy. Can someone pass me the aspirin? And the vodka? Looks like I'll be needing them to read this chapter.

I don't think I've ever choked while drinking coffee until I read your spoiler. xD

Remind me that I should not be eating or drinking anything when I read 304.
