Hisashiburi ne...
O.o I feel like I haven't been here in such a long time, though it really hasn't been that long. I've just had (and still have) so much craziness going on.
But I felt the urge to write a little at least about Rose since I cling on to being his fangirl before he started doing cool stuff.
Last chapter: Spoilers
Haha. Oh dear God, I didn't really pay as much attention to the rest of the chapter as I did the interplay with Rose and Love at the start. It reminded me of a Juu and Shun banter, albeit that they have totally different personalities. Rose is just...absolutely precious, and Love's down to earth response is so perfect. I will almost certainly be buying that volume when it comes out in Japan, since that is a win scene.
Yes, I do mean the hair pulling/rubble/art form scene. Although Rose's battle critique (without doing anything much to help, as per Rose usual) was also quite awesome.
I realised also I have said nothing about Hacchi of late.
I like Hacchi and he pwns with Kidou, but I have seen a lot of people writing him off/mocking him/etc because he only uses Kidou and doesn't fight in the traditional slash and cut way.
I really hate when folk do that. To me, some of the best interplay in Bleach is when people use different skills and don't just resort to cutting people to bits. Not everyone is Kenpachi (thank goodness). So it was really really heartening to see him defeat (we assume) Barragan so completely.
I could start rambling about Barragan's flashback, when it was set from, whether it was Aizen's first trip to HM and how real it was...but I'd already be well out of date and Rae already covered it pretty good...so I won't go there.
But Hacchi...full marks. Kidou is pwn. End of argument. xD
And this week's spoilers.
Ok.
Rose.
I can't wait for pictures of his sword. It's exactly perfect from the descriptions for our artistic genius Vaizard of the Opera. Flowers too *yes, there had to be flowers!* as well as music and stuffs...perfect. Also, the name is quite pretty.
The spoilers list 金沙羅 (Kinshara). Golden Sal Tree...Whatever one of those is. :| I looked it up (and apparently it has some kind of ceremonial significance...I hope it makes more sense to the native Japanese folk than it does me...).
Though kanadero (from kanaderu) is a REALLY nice release. I think of it as a more elegant way of saying 'play'...a very Rose-ish artsy word xD.
Also...the other thing:
Who stabs Stark?
The logical suggestions~
-Juu or Shun getting their oar back into the battle.
However, Juu stabbing from behind? Plus the spoiler talks about one big sword...which may be misleading but it's all we have to go with at the moment. For reasons of my own I'd quite like it to be Shunsui, and he has shown his intent to fight like that already once. But I'm not sure, still. We've seen bankai for neither one so can't say what their blades might look like. But why release to Bankai just to stab someone? I doubt that will happen - in which case, Juu's sword in Shikai is not big. Also, we don't know Juu's current physical condition and are assuming that he's all right based on Shunsui's behaviour.
One of the Vaizard. Shinji springs to mind, since let me think about this...he attacked Aizen who was blocked by Tousen who was attacked by Komamura and then Hisagi. Leaving...Shinji...a little out in the cold? Unless he's gone back to attacking Aizen...we really don't know, do we? Lisa and Hiyori are fighting (although Hiyori and Hitsu seem to be fighting each other).
The slightly less logical suggestions
Urahara or Yoruichi making their entrance.
Benihime is a narrow blade, however, and though I could see them both sneaking in unspotted, I'm not sure about this being either of them.
Gin.
Maybe he's going to betray the betrayers, or perhaps he's bored/for Aizen's purpose. Again, the blade size is an issue, but his blade IS big if you consider it as 'long'...I can't see him pulling Bankai just to do this, but there's always a vague chance. And his blade IS a stabbing blade.
Aizen.
I don't even need to explain this. The guy is cracked. :|
The crazy theory.
Halibel. Her theme is 'sacrifice' and perhaps by killing the Primera she can absorb his power into her own. She has a big blade, and for some reason she has not yet been killed. Up to Ulquiorra all the Espada were killed/defeated in reverse numerical order. #2 has died but #3 remains. There has to be a reason - can she up her ranking by attacking Stark?
Her being in battle with Lisa and company may count her out, though.
