Aizen knockoff's power is probably just "not dying" or something similar.

Well, I guess it'd be boring for afro to just win everything. I like him Smiley: frown.

Bleach: MY SCHRIFT IS D. He gave afro-shinigami his D, but his D wasn't powerful enough to put him down.

Naruto: When they said "five weeks left," did they mean starting the week of the announcement, or the week after the announcement? I'm not sure if it's two more weeks or three more. Either way, cha cha cha. Oh, and Sasuke and Naruto are beating each other up while having flashbacks and confessing their undying love for each other.

One Piece: RIP in peace in pieces Corasan. Smiley: crymore An ability to cancel sound is pretty useful for a spy.

And in other news, asterisks Sankarea's ending. Perfect setup for a downer ending, but nooooooooo, we have to have a happy ending. ***** that noise. Fairy Tail is pretty standard fight scene, not much to note. Mavis is still as adorable as ever in her book. Meliodas is using the Spirit Bomb.

That honestly was the dumbest counter to his power. "Let me bleed myself out to stop dying, then immediately put more blood back in while the power was still in effect". Smiley: oyvey

They gave a date:

Quote:
According to the Asahi Shimbun, the last entry in the long-running Naruto series will appear in the Weekly Shonen Jump that goes on sale November 10 in Japan.


I'm also surprised in Bleach that the dude didn't just change the "lethal dose of swords" for himself into something obscenely high.

Bleach: He replaced it with not his own blood though, so it's fine. We'll ignore the other complications of that, I'm sure shinigami don't care about such trivial matters.

Sankarea: Sad this series is over. Really enjoyed it, though the last arc slowed down tremendously. It would have been interesting if it had ended on the previous chapter, but this last chapter I didn't mind. We still didn't get the happy go lucky lovey dovey ending though, which is disappointing Smiley: tongue.

Naruto: And they bled to death together. THE END.
Bleach: And Yhwach pulls the "I'm an *******" power out again.

Glad to see that 7DS isn't ending already.

Naruto: how many times is he going to use that damn "Powerballs collide and create a big sphere" thing?

And they'll get their arms back. Or roboarms
Or something. They have at their disposal literally the best healers in the entire world.


Bleach: I really hope the lollipop guild don't team up with the good guys for vengeance on King Handlebar.

Pft, I wish.

Blah blah blah inspirational speech blah blah blah asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk asterisk called it blah blah blah I still feel dirty. Last chapter, they'll both have prosthetic and neither will be Hokage because ambiguous endings are so awesome.

I can't think of anything to say about Bleach. Something about Semen Demon, maybe?

Heh, King Handlebar. I like that.

Naurto: IT'S OVER, and everything ended as people expected. Laughed at the Ino/Sai pairing, guess the insults turned her on.
One Piece: More backstory.
Bleach: Not up at this time, but probably nothing worth mentioning.

Woo hoo, it ended a few days early! I didn't really expect the ending. Not that it's out of left field, mind, just that I'm not one to ever really expect the most obvious ending. I'd have given it a 40:60 odds. Meh, a disappointing ending to a disappointing series so I guess the odds should have been higher. The kids are cute. Who the hell let Rock Lee put his penis in them is my question now, and if they survived the experience. Too much? God I hope this doesn't spinoff into the Adventures of Babyruto.

I like the sniper in Bleach, even if he was cheesed back. I'm amused, if not thrilled about the backstory in One Piece. Lots of double crossing. I think what irks me is that the only time they spend so much time on a character's story they have thus far become crew members. But they both have a Doctor, are pretty full up on OP offensive people, and Law has his own crew and such. I still want the barrier guy to be the next member, truth be told.

Probably Tenten, she's the only female that was used to Lee's behavior.

Barty will most likely become the next member; but Law will become the third Captain in Luffy's Armada, following Boa and Jinbei.

The apoplexy over in my NaruSaku forum right now is a sight to behold. 400+ pages of angst. Smiley: laugh

Aside from being on the losing team, so to speak, I'm actually really disappointed in the ending from a sheer storytelling stand point.It felt forced. It also felt really Japanese, which is probably why so many US fans are perplexed/bewildered/confused.

Haven't been this disappointed since the Hikaru no Go manga ended so abrubtly when Shounen Jump started getting death threats because Hikaru was going to beat the Korean guy. Or whatever ******** excuse they pulled. Smiley: glare

I'm certainly not going to resume Bleach or One Piece at this point. The Jump editors will probably force those to end sooner than planned, too.

My final takeaway from this is to stick to shoujo. The authors are better at tying up loose ends.

Bleach has been ending for the better part of the year. One Piece will never end since it's like the best selling book in Japan. Apparently my nightmare came true.

There is a hypothesis that Shounen Jump deliberately leaked fake chapters to troll all the people who pirated it and the real stuff will be released on Monday with the print volume. Reality is warped when you pay attention to some of the details.

Also, after rereading chapter 700, I've renamed it to Hinata Wish Fulfillment 100% because that's basically what it is. Everything she ever wanted happened. She gets the guy, Naruto becomes Hokage, their kids are cute clones with whiskers, and Sakura has been suitably demoted to a maid and is stuck as a single mother with an absent husband.

The other hypothesis is that Hinata is still trapped into Infinite Tsukuyomi, which is also a plausible explanation for Hinata Wish Fulfillment 100%. We already know she is a major character in the upcoming movie. Perhaps they have to break her out of her fake reality.


Regardless of what's real or fake, Kishimoto has pulled the greatest manga trolling of all time.

Edit: Also, rumors persist of riots in Japan. Smiley: dubious

Color pages are only used for special events in manga, they wouldn't waste a full color chapter for just a troll.

Read all the way through Gantz and HSDK, still not happy on how the series' ended. Also noticed One Piece shout outs in Gantz and Naruto, guess they were acknowledging the superior manga.

Yeah, the "fake chapters!!!!1!" hypothesis died as people in Japan started getting their mailed copies of Weekly Shounen Jump.

Well, the did tells us in 695 to brace ourselves for the "shocking ending" but we had no idea they meant "shockingly bad."

Japanese fans are also expressing dismay on Twitter.

I don't know, I think everyone was pretty prepared for shockingly bad. I think the majority of the disappointment came from how safe an ending it was. It was almost Disney with it's "And everyone lived happily ever after" vibe.

No, I got the fanfiction joke. However some people's fanfiction is way worse than others, and I thought this was an example of that.
