Just once I'd like that to be quickly followed by, "Wait, shit, that never actually works."

Alternatively have them use the technique right off the bat rather than "building up" power like idiots. Personally if I have the option of firing a destructive slash that will wipe out the target and I can launch it multiple times, why the hell would I bother using anything else for an opener?

My guess would be that's it the typical good guy thing to have a fair fight, I mean would any of the heroes in shounens have many fans if they blew their enemies away before they have a chance to draw their sword/weapon of choice?

That or longer fights equals more chapters, which equals author getting paid more, I honestly have no idea how the payment system works.

Villains have numerous reasons for not bringing the pain early on. Sometimes it's not necessary, like they've been wasting weak opponents for so long they don't know how much power they actually need against the protagonist. Sometimes their power is dangerous to themselves or can only be used so many times, so it needs to be rationed properly. Sometimes they're prideful and don't want to use more power than is necessary, because they might otherwise appear cowardly. Sometimes they're just idiots.

Kamak · **Posted:** Thu Sep 27, 2012 11:39 pm

And sometimes they need to barter for time for their power to grow even more (Aizen's bullshit).

That last panel of Bleach though. I can't help feeling that this is someone using Bach's reiatsu as a disguise (like the other guy used Allon's), and the real Bach is going to steal Yama's bankai.

Even so, goddamn, Yama, you're a fucking beast.

That's what I figured. The real bad guy is watching the fight to learn about Yamamoto's bankai. I think that's why they killed what's his name, to piss him off enough to use it, because I'm pretty sure the old man can waste everyone with his shikai alone.

Finally got around to finishing Nichijou. pop flyin' tears everywhere.

Some crazy person convinced me to watch Tsuritama, so I guess I'm doing that. It's subbed so I have to make time for it, but I just finished episode 3.

Yep, that wasn't actually the leader. Now Yamamoto is fucked.

Well shit I thought it might actually end without Ichigo having to come waltzing in and save the day.

Kamak · **Posted:** Tue Oct 02, 2012 3:25 pm

This is Shonen. It can't end without the main character ultimately saving the day.

So it seems Loyd and Royd were fused together, but how did they disguise themselves? Did they take on his Reiatsu for the disguise?

And I knew Aizen was going to make another appearance here, but I'm glad he didn't side with Bach. I'm tired of seeing him.

Still haven't gotten an answer to this question.
