Thread: Bleach: Chapter 400

While fallen, and looking up into the air, Rangiku sees the smoke from the crumbling buildings and she thinks of Gin

Rangiku: Gin..?

Deicide2

Gin: What the... ya really are... an unpleasant child. How scary. Maybe this time I should give ya a proper punishment.... and make yo suffer too.

While saying this, Gin readies his sword by contracting it to a wakizashi's length.

Ichigo: !? (Just now, when did he contract the sword? How did I miss that?)

(No, the entire time I've been trying to get out of his katana's range. I overlooked how flexible the lengthening of the sword is.)

Gin: Well then. how am I gonna do this, eh... My bankai is too easily stopped, do you think I just fight normally like this?

He charges toward Ichigo, and with incredible speed it becomes a long sword that Ichigo had to defend against

Gin: Quite the katana, eh. It looks like it can break while I'm attacking

Ichigo: If that's true, then I can break it as easily as you said! (If I guess right, when his sword contracts is the only time his bankai is vulnerable)

(And if I'm thinking right, if the tip of the sword points here, then it's all over!!)

Then with a flick, Gin suddenly lengthens the sword. For that instant, Gin's sword lengthens over a great distance and hits Ichigo's left shoulder.

Then, Gin swings downward, Ichigo dodges and shortens the distance and again, the wakizashi form defends against him

Again, Gin swings downward with a long sword and jumps onto a nearby building.

Ichigo: ... Just as I thought, your Bankai's scariest ability isn't the amount of destruction you can inflict, it's the speed of your sword's expansion and contraction.

I was thinking about it. The distance you told me beforehand doesn't mean a thing. You might as well have stayed quiet and still have the advantage.

Specially, if your sword is something that can slice an entire town in half, even that didn't mean a thing either. As it is, even with that, you had the advantage

And with that, you even made sure to show me all of that, but that was all for the sake of distracting me away from realizing the speed of your sword's contraction and expansion.

Gin: .... Oh my. (... and with only one shot, he already noticed, with the second he was already able to parry it. How scary, how scary. And I've yet to play it out~)

(I could go no but, not yet not yet) Oh, you've found out, well nothin' I can do bout that, like you thought, it's Kamishiniyari's lengthening speed

In front of Ichigo, Gin claps the palm of his hand

Gin: .... You got that? Just now, that was 500 times. Kamishiniyari isn't the longest sword. It's the fastest. Now that you know, victory was never yours to begin with.

Once again, the scene changes to another battle.

Isshin and Aizen. Isshin looks like he has the upper hand.

Isshin: What now. Your movement's gone really sluggish. Is that your limit already?

Aizen: ... Ah, now what am I gonna have to do about that. This is indeed my limit. My shinigami self, that is.

Isshin:... what?

Aizen: well, better change my spirit, then

Isshin: ...What the hell are you talking about?

Aizen: Well, little by little, the Hougyoku's consciousness has reached my heart.

Then, next issue

To reach the supreme state of being...

Chapter RAW

Wow...unbElIevaBlE xD

No comment.

I'll comment for you. Yet again another power up for Aizen.

^ Man... for the past couple weeks i've been commenting less and less on Naruto and next to never on Bleach!!! It just seems like Bleach brings NOTHING NEW to the table each week -_-. Between Aizen's obvious powerup (expect him to powerup at least 1 more time) and Gin's uncreative Bankai (after i've waited 4+ years to see it) I dont know anymore.... I really dont. Reading Bleach has now become a chore for me now. lol.

So besides banter, whats there really to comment on about the upcoming chapter?? So... Gin's Bankai can move EVEN FASTER that it was originally supposed to move (cause wasn't it already super fast to begin with?)?? He just needs to go hollow already so Ichigo can go hollow and out class him in every aspect.

Aizen and Isshin fight = nothing to talk about because all Isshin's been doing is just hacking and slashing at buildings like Love with his Tengomaru Ogre club and Aizen's been as smooth as ever dodging and evading blows all the while with his sexy guy smirk on his face. Maybe there'll be more worth while developments in the chapter to dissect that the spoiler isn't letting out.

If I wasn't so dead set on keeping up i might actually walk away and let the chapters build for a while. I don't even really care about the story anymore. As it is only kidou and bankai make any interest in the fights anymore. So i'll just read and move on and focus on the other 5 manga i'm following. And of those only fairy tail is the one i'm really looking forward to each week.

^ Are you reading One Piece? If not, you´d have one more manga to look forward to each week. If you know OP, and don´t look forward to reading it every week, then you´re..... :P

Fairy Tail is like a mix of Naruto and OP, you should read Gamaran and Blazer Drive.

Thanks for the suggestions BF. While i love Naruto. I just can't for the life of me get into OP. I'll look into these two though.

My other 5 are Zettai Karen Children, Change 123, Naruto of course, Hunter X Hunter, and Claymore. If you know of any others you would like to recommend then please by all means.

@ bluedemon. I don't know what to tell you about OP. I have not looked into it recently. It's mainly just bad experience in the past with the dub. Tried watching the anime and got bored fast.
Tried the manga just reading a couple chapters and the kiddish art style just threw me off.
Kinda like rave master. I loved it in the anime. Tried to continue it from the manga. but... the style just bothered me and i couldn't read it.

I usually don't read any spoiler of any manga but Bleach is sooo predictable... only good thing about Bleach is that from time to time brings me flashbacks of my old lil' self watching Dragon ball glued to the T.V <3

<not saying this with any ill regards>
Anime takes so much away from good manga storys (having to deal with T.V ratings, censored level of audience, moral and ethics from society that doesn't even watch the anime in question and other stuff), makes the experience really boring and crappy.
Only good points I could say about watching anime r the fights and soundtracks.
As for OP is the same, try to pick it OP from some point where u left it and little by little u would come to love it :P(Come to the Oda Side!! hehe).
Art quality really shouldn't be a standar for tastes; As a little example u could read Angel Densetsu, its the same mangaka from Claymore and dispite the art is fucking good ^^.
