Welcome to Gaia! ::

The release dates have been pushed back, so to speak, due to Japan's new anti-piracy policy they've been handling. Because of this, it's put a huge damper on manga getting added up and whatnot. c:

Yeah. I think like Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece are now Thursday/Friday and Fairy Tail is back to Sunday/Monday or something around that. They're actually pretty much back to what their schedule used to be since I think like a year or two ago this is when everything used to update haha.

Yeah I'm not going to lie, the last two chapters have me really confused. I've read them like twice each ( granted, read them on my phone so that's probably contributing to the confusion ) and I'm having a hard time making sense of them. I'll be rereading them again tonight on my comp but it's just like there's a lot of talking, then random jumbled up spurts of action in these last two.

Now, if it goes to show Mayuri is involved with the other two captains, then that'll be rather interesting. However, I'm definitely at that stage of having to remind myself of who is fighting who. Which is why I think I was pretty disappointed seeing what Pepe's power was. It's a little overkill and repetitive seeing that someone else has the power to turn people into their puppets after just coming from the Mayuri/Gigi battle. So hopefully it improves? Because while I found Mayuri's battle interesting, I have a feeling I'll get pretty bored with the Pepe/Byakuya fight if it turns into everyone and their sister being controlled in this one too.

Edit:
Kay, I went back and reread the last two chapters. Yeah, for future reference I can't read the manga on my phone. It makes the panels too confusing. It made a lot more sense reading a full-sized version.

ANYWAY, I actually forgot in chapter 594 those two captains had showed up to try and interrupt Mayuri's battle so, it's more than likely he's controlling them now. Which honestly, I'm hoping they'll back explain that later and how it happened?

However, ultimately, still pretty disappointed by Pepe's ability. :c My opinion on that did not change after rereading.

ALSO, I STILL WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED TO YACHIRU. emotion_donotwant

I'm really hoping one of the girls ends up being the endgame for the goon level fights. I don't even care about Ichigo and the gang finishing off the top quincy and saving uryuu or whatever. I just want to see The Gluttony and maybe if we're lucky, The Power wreck some shinigami. I loved that Meninas has been the strongest physical fighter of the quincy, save maybe Superstar and technically Gremmy when/if he had felt like it. I just wish we'd actually gotten to see her kick some butt. I wonder if Liltotto's Gluttony power is anything like Aaronierro's in that she gains other people's powers.

Yeah, used to be, Wednesday was 'early', then they kept coming out every Wed.

Am I blanking out or something? what happened to the hollow parts messing with Quincy powers in this fight? Shouldn't the Vizards have been kinda 'safe' from this? Or am I mis-remembering what that was.

Or maybe Kurotsuchi just was to screw with people for a while before fixing them XD But still. neutral

I think Seliece was right that that only applied to Bankais being stolen. c: Which is why when the other members were temporarily Hollowfied, the Quincies couldn't resteal their bankais, so to speak.

Also, regardless of if the above is right or wrong, the two that Mayuri just recently took control of I'm pretty sure were confirmed dead at the end of their fight with that one Quincy. They were then zombified, interrupted Mayuri's fight, Mayuri then took control of them, and they showed up at Byakuya's fight.

I'm really wishing Kubo would be a bit more blunt about if someone was actually dead or not though. On more than one occasion in this arc I've had to go back and reread certain chapters to see if there was actual confirmation a character was dead or not. He's really beating around the bush about it with certain characters and I think that's due to how the whole Byakuya situation was received when he was supposed to die.
