Bleach: Episode 158

Rating: 7.5/10

Impressions:

This episode isn’t half bad…but I can’t help but cringe at Chad when he starts talking about the ‘true form’ or ‘true power’ of his arms. It’s so shounen-like it’s somewhat sickening. How the hell is someone meant to even know the ‘true form’ of their power? It’s simply ridiculous. And man, I’m really not impressed with his new skills—when it comes to the real thing, he doesn’t really even match up to a captain. There’s still the question of what the heck his powers are. Please don’t tell me their just a personal manifestation of an abundance of reiatsu in a normal human…like Orihime…sigh.

    I am so behind on BLEACH. Well, three episodes, but still xD It doesn’t look like I’m missing much, though, which is why I’m probably three episodes behind xDD

    Ne, still trying to catch up on blogging? I miss all the manga pictures you used to do with BLEACH ^__^

    I don’t read the manga but it seems Chad is about to get served for breakfast against that Espada… Haven’t had any serious battles as of yet which is boring the heck out of me but then again, it isn’t that bad. It merely fails to meet our logical expectations from such a serious area but what’s worse is that they managed to make it look silly. I wonder who will end up taking Chad’s place assuming the battle continues. =/

    fatallightning: hehe, i posted it somewhat late i guess…..

    Whispered.Hope: yeah…u can watch three episodes and think that not much happens…but i guess it’s not as bad as naruto (im like, 10 episodes behind or somehting? more? xD) hmm, manga pics…i MIGHT do them again if bleach starts getting better when the espadas come…but then again im getting busier =/

    Scoro: yeah true. but the manga itself has quite a few issues as well…if you want me to delve into them

    macguy: more like he already has…note the blood just before the ED in this episode xD well, if it continues…Show Spoiler ▼

    i think chad’s powers have something to do with hell (how come we haven’t heard anything about hell after that one time when the hell gate came for the soul?)
    [i also think kenpachi’s power has something to do with hell, what with the skull that appears behind him when he fights ichigo)

    Whispered.Hope: yeah, ill be catching up with naruto with a single post that spans many episodes xD but ive decided to drop dragonaut…

    none: there was a hell? if so ive completely forgotten about it…

    hell is referred to in a single episode
    early in the series, during ichigo’s learning period, one of the souls he encounters is taken to hell.
    a big gate pops out and rukia makes a big deal out of it, explaining that the worst souls go to hell rather than soul society or the hollow world.
    i figure hell has to have some unique spiritual beings, and that they’d have to be pretty powerful in order to keep the worst of souls in line.

    (a few minutes of searching says that it was episode 5)

    dude have you not been watching the series?? or have you just not been paying attention?? Orihime is some reincarnation of/actually is the princess of soul society or some random shit and chads powers are very hollow related but i have no idea where there going with it, beside the point orihime and chad arent just normal humans with an abundance of reiatsu there powers came from somewhere.

    rascal_ek4: try google

    smithed45: perhaps you could refresh my memory. as far as i know, after watching the anime and reading the manga, youre just making crap up. unless you have some proof you wish to show me.
