Still, I kinda feel bad for Kubo and Kishi they couldn't compete with Arakawa's ending FMA. Well, kinda... None of the current "big" shounen manga were ever competition for Fullmetal Alchemist. Mainly because Arakawa had a firm grasp of where she wanted the plot to go from start to finish. I'd be ecstatic and count myself extremely lucky if I saw even one more long shounen manga have plot development as great as Fullmetal Alchemist's in my lifetime. Well.... One Piece. It's a case of the author knowing exactly where he wants his story to go, has most of the stuff planned out, and genuinely has fun writing it. He's constantly bringing up stuff introduced in past chapters. I mean there is a reason it's one of the if not the best selling manga ever in Japan. |

What he meant was FMA ended at the right time, One piece has been going for over 12 years now, and what do you know its going for another 10 years, its getting really draggy now, that goes for all of the big 3, THEY NEED TO END!! |

LOL, because FMA is not in the 'shounen' area.. and do you know OP storyline ? its impossible to end it now.. its just way too huge.. and its not draggy... the 'world' is just very big and it cant just end it now.. |

Im not bagging on One Piece, its a good series, but eventually you'll need to move on from it. ending or not. |
| ^what are you talking about ? Sabo was in his mind from the beginning ( the crossed S on Ace tattoo) correction - the more characters - the better. OP has the biggest world/storyline on any shounen manga.. thats why its long |
| Please don't ever compare FMA to Bleach or Naruto. It would be like comparing Martin to Rowling because they're both fantasy works. Anyway I laughed pretty hard with this extremely well placed convenient time chamber. It would be like a guy fighting a werewolf and just when he's about to be pwned, finds a gun loaded with silver bullets just randomly laying on the floor. |

| Seriously? A fuckin' time-chamber just before confrontation with the main villain? <sigh> Then -of course - the "FINAL" attack, which Isshin conveniently knows about and just forgot to use it against Aizen himself. Yeah, right. I wonder what would the response from Bleach fan-base be if "someone" decided to demolish Aizen behind the scenes and only show Ichigo over his downed form afterwards, like they did with Yoruichi and Urahara. |
| Thought it was awesome, ill have to read it when Im sober to see if it was actually good lol |
| LOL final getsuga tenshou. |

| ...Is this a topic on shounen manga (in general)?... All i will say about the argument is that i currently don't enjoy what is happening but the chapters are so short it doesn't matter. There is also the possibility that we'll get a good chapter, and that the story will pick up. Plus i get kicks out of the reactions here. ^.^ Just give me my shounen power jump already! |
| Understanding the story is one thing, understanding it and saying it's brilliant is another. But either way, if Tite brings out some plot and a backstory (which he can't really skimp out on now, seeing as he's thrown us a time chamber and daddy and son together), bleach will be saved for a few weeks until the final showdown (just like tbp did for us) The reason shounen like FMA trounce shounen like bleach is because it focuses more on plot, and not super random techniques that appear out of nowhere, though after reading through some battle manga I continue to realise that you can't take it seriously, if you do, you can't enjoy it : o But saying that, OP has a greater plot, more background and has been more enjoyable for me than bleach since the end of it's little skuffle. |

We might learn more about zanpakuto and hybrids and such. That's the part I'm looking forward to most. And Ichigo (at least temporarily) recovering his balls. helur said: ...Is this a topic on shounen manga (in general)?... Better than 100 people popping up to individually drop the same comments, then leaving without talking to anyone. A lot of discussion threads have no discussion whatsoever. |
| Yeah, Isshin seems to know a lot, and now with Aizen like Ichi and Ichi knowing then I'm hoping we'll get somewhere, but saying that, Isshin stopped Aizen from spilling the beans to Ichi, so I'm guessing he'll reveal the bare essentials and leave the rest for the end :/ |
| Figures it would be Keigo who'd wake up at the wrong time. And Gin may be splitting from Aizen pretty soon. Other than that, meh. |
| <i>When all else is lost, the future still remains</i> |
| i hope we get to see Kon soon. Bleach has lost all the humor it had :( |

| It would be fun to see ichigo use kidou, and i think the results would be much much much bigger, considering ichigos huge reiatsu ;> "bakudou no san-ju-san: Shakkahou!" XD i've also been thinking, when ichigo dies, will rukia come and say "ok, the soul burial is Blah Blah Blah... " and ichigo is like " don't give me that shit rukia, just open the friggin' senkai gate" :) |
| Naw I don't see him ever using kido, he's not the type. Like Renji he'd be pretty useless at it, though saying that, his GT is kidou / cero like, so it's possible somehow, but even him learning kido, he wouldn't be able to learn anything great enough to even phase Aizen, look at Kisuke's stream of kido. |
| I'm just happy we're finally getting a change of scenery. Oh wait, my bad, it'll still be white empty backgrounds. Ugh, seriously I'm rarely this negative towards a series since I'm usually quite forgiving, but I really hate the way this series has been handled over the past year or so. However, I still plan to stick with it in a tiny shred of hope that somehow it'll redeem itself. Yeah, I know, I'm being overly optimistic at this point. D: |

And soul burial most likely doesn't work on shinigami anyway, so of course he'll need to use a senkai gate. |

| knows its not canon and all, but next issue Aizen vs karakura delicate X'D j/k |
| Gin is weird around Aizen. He's either scared or planning something, and I don't really believe otherwise. Wow, that tired look on Ichigo's face...well, you can say it's understandable >.> ...Final Getsuga Tensho. Oh, alright. I should have expected another power-up xD But here's a question: if it's worth teaching, it must be because it's powerful enough to endanger Aizen. Then why didn't Isshin use it on him in the first place? x__X Maybe he can't use it, but then how is he going to teach something he can't use? o.o TOOMANYQUESTIONS Oh wait, it's Bleach. I shouldn't care. |
