C&C- Bleach - "Fury Of The Shark! Harribel Releases!" [9/29]

[Neo Ultra Mike]

Okay well good news people: The Ulquoirra fight is over (I need someone to put him as dead in the Espada picture since I can't do such simple photoshop editing truthfully) but there is still a lot of Espada action and this arc to cover. So let's get into the thick of that then, shall we?

Opening 12:Change

Ending 23:Stay Beautiful


(There is no link to this because of copyright infringement. So yeah, you're on your own if you want to see this one sadly).

LAST TIME: We waste a good amount of time with Rukia Chad and Renji fighting Rudobodon. The only intersting thing that even happens is Yammy comes and kills Rubodon since yeah, it's this thing about Bleach on battles being interrupted by random inciidents for no particular reason. Meanwhile just as Hollow Ichigo is about to actually finish off Ulqouirra, Uryu stops him


..... *goes off to bang head in frustration several times on the wall at this, and comes back*


Yeah you heard me right: Uryu apparently thought now would be the time to do that cause he know's Ichigo's on a rampage. Yeah how about you wait until AFTER the guy who took off your arm (well manga wise anyway) is dead first before that. So now Hollow Ichigo attacks him as Orihime is saddened how this is all her fault. Hmmm, you know now would be a good time for her to actual show some growth and development and you know DO SOMETHING but no, Ulqouirra instead tries killing Ichigo again which doesn't work as Ichigo finally rips out his hollow half. Well at least this time he seems more aware about it then the other times it interrupted his fight and asks Ulqouirra to cut off his arms and legs so they'll be on an even field.


.... *goes off and takes stick, hitting self several times in the head before coming back*


That's right folks it just keeps getting dumber, but we're not done ticking everyone off. See yeah turns out now Ulqouirra's actually sort of kind of maybe a good guy and says he kind of likes the group now. He extends his heart out to Oriime having finally understood the value of human heart before fading away.... I'd hurt myself again for this but I'm not suffering anymore brain damage for my annoyance at what happens in Bleach.


Tonight: Well Ulqouirra's gone but we have other Espada battles to go over as Yammy takes on his three challengers and back i Karakura Town, Harribel transforms. Why? Well I guess she must of easily offed Hitsuguya since she's clearly much stronger then him and is going to go off to fight Yamamoto for killing her subortuniates... well that's what would make sense anyway so let's see how Kubo messes that up.


And now The Espada Information chart. The idea was crafted by me and updated by me that gives you all the up to date info on all the Espada and what they're going through.

Spoiler:

So from left to right we have




Ulquiorra Schiffer (DECEASED) (Rank: 4th. Arrancar Zanpakto: Murciélago) Is fairly cold and indifferent to most and one of Aizen's most loyal and powerful Espada. He was the one responsible for kidnapping Orihime and he has a joy in psychologically trying to break her. Originally Ulquorria killed Ichigo Kurosaki in Hueco Mundo without any problems at all besides his shirt torn. But, In return Grimmjow helped revive Ichigo and sent this guy to a parallel dimension, where he can annoy others with his emo indifference. ...Until episode 203 when he returned and was made ruler of Las Noches, while Aizen and the other Espada were out in Fake Karakura Town. He's now locked in battle with Ichigo, who for some reason isn't being helped by the other captains. Really Ichigo shouldn't be standing a chance to this guy in normal Bankai since we saw him take out the subsistue soul reaper easily at Ichigo's full power. I think Ichigo said it's because either he's getting more hollow or Ulquoirra's getting more human but that doesn't make any sense. Though what makes less sense is when Ulqouirra having transformed into his super secondary form (a laughably exaggerated emo batman pretty looking monster man) and supposedly killed Ichigo, and instead the Soul Reaper having another hollow transformation that takes him out. Oh no wait, even that would make too much sense. So instead Ichigo regains control of himself enough to watch Ulqouirra fade away into nothinginess from their fight, as emo batman does that holding out his hand to Orihime since he understands what a heart is or Kubo really likes teasing those Ulqouirra/Orihime shippers. So yeah he's dead but we'll have one more flashback bit with him tonight and then no more which I'm sure pleases some people at least, even if it was done in the most annoying way.


Starrk (Former Nickname: Lazy Bones. Rank: 1) - An Espada who likes his sleep. He has an annoying female follower named Lilyenette, who likes beating him up whenever he sleeps (and lets others take charge). He first showed his fast abilities by easily kidnapping Orhimie (AGAIN) and escaping Ichigo and Kenpachi. He is the top Espada and headed to Fake Karkura with Aizen, Gin, Tosen, Barragan, Halibel and the remaining Fraccion. Currently Starrk still tries to be lazy even though his opponent is the 8th Captain Shunsui, though his analytical combat skills (aka over explaining something for two minutes straight) make the colorful captain start using both swords. Who will win in the battle of easy goers? Well since Starrk's one should mean he'll at least give Shushi a run for his money right? You'll see a bit of that tonight actually.


Nnoitra Gilga (DECEASED) (Formerly known as Spoonhead, who I now call Espoony Onne Rank: 5th Arrancar Zanpakuto:Santa Teresa) - Is tall and has a creepy smile made even more creepy by the fact he sounds like Dean Venture hitting puberty. Nnoitra has a Fraccion (an Arrancar chosen by an Espada to follow them) named Tesla and does not like fighting weak opponents wanting to be acknowledged as the strongest even if he already thinks he is. Despite the fact the guy's only ranked 5th. Yeah the guy needs to check that number tattooed on his tounge. Which use to have an 8 on it back when this sexist jerk tricked Neliel out of the Espada, due to hating females stronger then him. Before he gets his needed comuppance from Neliel, she transforms back into Nel, and now it's up to Kenpachi to take this Spoony Bard. This guy also got the hardest skin of any Espada and a whole where one of his eyes should be, as well as an actually cool transformation. But even having six arms made him no match for a two arm Kenpachi sword swing. In the end he was ultimately able to die a warrior's death, even if it wasn't on the terrain of testament.


Harribel (Former Nickname: Mrs. Underboob/Censorboob. Rank: 3) - Note that her romantictzed name was Halibel but her real name is Harribel, the only female Espada (well now anyway) who got her nickname due to her arrancar uniform, which as you can see was censored when it hit the anime. Had three female Fraccion followers (Mila Rose, Sun Sun and Apache) and when watching Ichigo and Grimmjow battle commented it was like two Espada fighting. And that's all we knew about her until Fake Karakura Town arc. Since fighting Hitsugyuya we found out a bit more, namely her rank, a bit more of her attitude and actually pretty cool looking sword. And tonight we'll get to see her shark form release which well let's just say those who aren't digging her look now should appreciate this.


Aaroniero Arruruerie (DECEASED) (Rank: 9th. Former Nickname: Mr. Bubbles. Arrancar Zanpakto: Glotoneria). Aaronierio was the only Gillian member of the Espada. A two head weirdo who can actually absorb a hollow's abilities and powers when it dies. He actually ate the hollow who ate Kaien which explains why he can take his form. He's also the first Espada to show off his resurrecion, which is some sort of giant.. purple tentacle monster with two jaws on either side of his body. He has the power of thousands of hollows and the potential to use all of their powers in his resurrecion form. Rukia killed him by stabbing him in the head. However, he played his death to the other Espada, and took out Rukia until she was healed later by Isane.


Yammy (Rank: 10th) -The first Espada we've met and from what we've seen essistanly dumb and fairly easy to beat. If you're not Orihime or Chad that is, though that may change. As after a long absence he finally returns (with a canine friend) and easily takes out Menloly and Loly (I guess that's not too hard).He then clashed with Ishida, where he was tricked and fell downward to the tower's bottom floor. He easily killed Rubbodon and now is going to fight Renji, Chad and Rukia. Though really seems like this would be a fight the three could acutally win right? Not so fast as Yammy has an interesting or at the very least convluted trick up his sleeve.


Barragan (Rank: 2. Former Nickname: Old Guy) Nothing really know about him besides the fact he's... old. And complains when people die stupidly. We finally found out his name awhile ago and him and his Fraccion are also joining Aizen to take out the Soul Reapers. This guy FINALLY showed some character in taking charge and trying to take out the pillars by using his Fraccion to destroy them. After this failed, he accepted the idea of fighting Soi Fon and Omeada himself which we'll start seeing now, or at least his weapon anyway.


Syazel Aporro Granz(Rank: 8th Former Nickname: NERDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD and The Prissy one. Arrancar Zanpakto: Fornicarás) (DECEASED) - The younger brother of Illford Granz (15th Arrancar and one of Grimmjow's Fraccions killed by Renji over 70 episodes ago at this point) Syzael is apparently the scientist of Hueco Mundo and enjoys collecting new experiments to work on, even those of his fallen team-mates and family members. A fairly sick and twisted individual, but his fact finding made him able to counter all of Renji and Uryu's attack with only his shirt sustaining any true damage. The group has elected to run away from this weirdo, but he found them again in a snazzy new cape and had some new tricks to show them. Tricks such as his release where he puts a sword through his mouth and makes noises ...yeah...THIS GUY. His release is Fornicarás which has already shown some of its power by shooting out black goo at his opponents and if it lands on them, they create evil clones that only he can control. It has another power that if you get caught in his wings, Syzael can create a doll of you that has pieces that represents your organs and if those pieces break they break for real. He's proceeded to beat Renji and Uryu, cut down Dondochakka and Pesche's strongest attack, and his final opponent is the only character perhaps as twisted as he is: 12th Captain Mayuri. He was able to revive himself inside Mayuri's assistant Nemu, but ended up being drugged by the toxins in her body and had a slow and painful death by Mayuri's blade.


Zommari Rureaux (DECEASED) (Former Nickname: Affirmative Action Arrancar. Rank: 7th Arrancar Zanpakuto:Brujería) - He was called AAA due to being the only true black Arrancar/Espada in the anime. Yammy's more mexcian, Underboob's a mulatto and Tosen isn't an Arrancar. He was first shown mediating after Aarenerio's death, and then went into his chamber to kill Ruka, but ran into Byakuya. Where we FINALLY learn something about this guy: He's the self proclaimed fastest Espada with the ability to produce 5 Speed Clones, He believes in properly killing off opponents and seems to proclaim his opponents are rather arrogant, even when he himself is being arrogant. He faced off against Byakuya with his fast speed and quickly released his Zanpakuto Brujeria early in the fight which turns him *sees transformation* WHAT? PUMPKIN? P-PUMPKIN? WHAT WHAT? PUMPKIN WHAT? Uh anyway trying to take Byakuya's limbs and holding hostages just got him sliced up quicker. Zommari tried proclaiming that Soul Reapers are wrong for killing hollows and giving some big speech that seems wasted on such a throwaway baddie. He died yelling Aizen's name because.... he has man (more like monster) love for the guy or something.


Grimmjow Jagerjaquez (Rank: 6th. Zanpakuto: Pantera) - Ichigo's Espada rival who reclaimed his spot after offing Luppi His rage and rebelling attiduing also makes him one of the more popular Espada. Especially when he smacked around the two ****** who were harassling Orihime, brought the orange haired "princess" to Ichigo so she could heal him, sent Ulqouirra somewhere and fought Ichigo for one last fight and was defeated. Grimmjow released Zanpakto is named Pantera which turns him into some sort of blue kitty kat man who Ichigo defeated, but then saved from being killed by Nnortira. I'm sure we'll see what happens to him after this fight, since considering he's quite popular the author Tite Kubo wouldn't just randomly forget him, right? Yeah probably did considering Tite Kubo has a laughably embarassing track record even at this point.


Oh and that's all the Espada right?.... Oh well I guess there's also her:






Nelliel Tu Oderschvank - (Rank: Formerly 3rd Zanpakuto:Gamuz) - Aka Neliel (since it seems like espada need to have double consonstans next to one another) aka Nel, who use to be a little girl Arrancar Ichigo met outside Las Noches. Her and her crew, the irritating comedy pair Dondochakka and Pesche, wound up joining Ichigo on his journey since Nel grew to really like Ichigo and look up to him. But as you can see this cute little child was actually quite the buxom beauty. What changed her? Well she use to be one of the top of the Espada army who always kicked Nnortia's ass who kept challenging her to fights. However Neliel was actually fairly kind and merciful (weird for an Espada) and refused to kill Nnortira who broke her mask, stole her memories and turned her into a kid. Nel was able to release her zanpakuto and overpower Nnortria however she ended up transforming back into a child before making the finishing blow. She's been knocked away, but hey saw Nnotoria die, which means she'll surley start playing a role in things to come right? ... You may have to wait a while for that one guys.

[zoombie]

Hoped your enjoyed Ichigo's battle last week, because we won't be seeing him for a while.

[Nobodyman]

Previously on Bleach: I can't even describe the utter stupidity of the events that took place in the last episode in the short space I have, so I won't even try. Oh, and Ulquiorra turned to dust, so...

Dust in the wind
All we are is dust in the wind.

WHA...?! Umm...I'm sorry. Did we miss something? Did they skip an episode?

[Bernkastel]

Well, I suppose it's time to see how the Karakura Town folks are doing.

[trance2009]

What's happening now?

[Hypeathon]

That's nice Ichigo, but you're not Arnold Phillip Shortman.

[Nobodyman]

Ugh, we've already seen all this!

And no, it's not any less dumb on a second viewing!

Oy, Yammy. Brace yourselves guys, the stupidity just keeps on coming.

[animePWNS]

Yammy is the Arrancar version of Snorlax, it seems.

Oh, that's bad... ZERO!

[Bernkastel]

0 Espada? Kubo why

[Anyone00]

Espada 0: Behold! The biggest rectal extraction in Bleach history!

[FireStarterLE]

and there's the animated version of it .....

[Rynnec]

Oh god. The sheer stupidity of this scene.

[Kitschensyngk]

Why did you want him to cut off your arm and leg? You've got him on the ropes! It's not like they'll grow back later!

Kill him now! Kill him now! He's begging for it! He's BEEN begging for it since his first appearance!

He doesn't deserve a tearful farewell scene!

And now the Wife Beater's still alive...

Oh, who cares? Orihime's rescued, and that's as much as I was interested in it.

[Nobodyman]

"Whoever said Espadas went from 1 to 10?"

Umm...

Spoiler:

But hey, he's only a fraccion so I'm sure he wouldn't know.

[Rynnec]

Y'know, the revelation of there being a 0 Espada could've actually been pretty cool...if it wasn't so half-assed.

[animePWNS]

"Whoever said Espadas went from 1 to 10?"

Umm...

Spoiler:

But hey, he's only a fraccion so I'm sure he wouldn't know.

Geez, has Kubo even heard of a story outline?

And now, back to Karakura...

Man, Line of the Night is going to kill me.

[Nobodyman]

IF ESPADAS DON'T GO FROM 1 TO 10, THEN WHY WAS THERE A 10 ON YOUR SHOULDER?!!!!

What'd I tell ya, the stupidity just keeps on coming.

[Rynnec]

Geez, has Kubo even heard of a story outline?

And now, back to Karakura...

He's sure heard of retcons.

[Bernkastel]

I was wondering when Toshiro would activate his bankai.

[trance2009]

Bewbs. I can't hate.
