My ANime lounge

I know I’m late again to share some bleach insights. Anyway, just now I decided to cope up in the story, since I’ve been skipping this series after being bored watching a lame fights and less story. Nevertheless, here I go again. I guess there’s no new anime series to watch so I will watch this one.  However, this time I won’t make a review, since most of you have already watch this ahead of me, so what I’m going to feed you is something that you really really like, the opening theme, or maybe you already singing this all the time.  

Moving on, since I’m delayed, I just have to give some notes about Bleach’s infamous antagonist, the Espada.

#1. Stark - Stark has an overall lazy and laid back personality. The remains of Stark’s hollow mask consist of a bottom jaw that is positioned like a necklace and his hollow hole is on his sternum, right below the tip of his mask. With one female fraccion, Lilinette.

#2. Barragan Luisenbern - He is a stout, older and grumpy arrancar, and the remnant of his mask takes the form of a five-pointed crown. Charlotte Cuuhlhourne, Abirama Redder, Findor Carias, Pō, Ggio Vega, and one who remains unnamed are his fraccion.

#3. Halibel - is the Tercera Espada, signified by the "3" tattooed on the inside of her right breast, she is also the only current female Espada. Apache, Mila Rose and Sun-Sun are here subordinates. She is very calm and rarely speaks, but when she does, it’s fairly serious.

#4. Ulquiorra Schiffer - He has a largely stoic appearance, rarely even changing his facial expression, and does not allow the actions of others to impede the tasks set to him by Sōsuke Aizen. The remainder of Ulquiorra’s hollow mask forms a broken helmet with a curved horn and covers the left half of his head. His hollow hole has moved since his first appearance; when first introduced it is at the base of his neck, but in later appearances, it has been moved onto his chest.

#5. Nnoitra Jiruga - He wears a large eye-patch that covers most of the left side of his face, as well as the remnants of his hollow mask (a small set of jawbones and teeth) and his hollow hole, both located around his left eye socket.

#6. Grimmjow Jeagerjaques - His name stems from that of an architect named Nicholas Grimshaw. he remains of his hollow mask consist of the right jawbone, and his hollow hole is located on his abdomen. Before becoming an arrancar, Grimmjow was a panther-like adjuchas-class menos who wandered Hueco Mundo, and he eventually met and led a group of other hollows in their mutual quest for power. As time passed and Grimmjow became the only one who grew stronger, he ate pieces of the others’ flesh so that their evolution would not regress and so he could become even stronger.

 Luppi - He has a youthful and feminine appearance, and tends to be rather demeaning to opponents or those of lower ranks. The remains of his hollow mask (a top row of teeth) rest on the left side of his head.

#7. Zommari Leroux - He is a quiet, reverent figure that praises Sōsuke Aizen and despises Soul Reapers for arbitrarily judging hollows. The remnants of his hollow mask take the form of a necklace made out of teeth and a ridge of spikes running down the center of his forehead. Zommari has the self-proclaimed fastest sonído among the Espada, referred to as Gemelos Sonído.

#8. Szayel Aporro Granz - He is an intellectual and the scientist of the Espada, thinking highly of himself and following his plans down to the finest detail. He is quite sadistic and views others as little more than research material. He thinks poorly of non-hollows, and hopes that Sōsuke Aizen will someday eliminate all entities that aren’t hollows.

#9. Aaroniero Arruruerie - He has an unusual glass capsule filled with red liquid and two floating masks in place of a head, which he usually covers with a tall white mask. The two masks tend to talk in tandem when revealed, giving the effect of two people speaking in turn. The upper mask speaks with a deep voice while the lower mask speaks in a high-pitched, child-like voice, and they appear to have a level of individuality as the lower mask is more afraid of death, screaming blasphemy to Aizen when he dies while the upper mask merely curses one word. He is the last of the first-generation Espada.

#10. Yammy - What remains of his hollow mask is the jawbone, which rests on his chin. He is the largest, but not the bright, of the Espada, as he relies upon Ulquiorra Schiffer to explain things and give him orders while in battle.

Former Espada

Neliel Tu Oderschvank - a.k.a Nel is a good-natured, child-like arrancar when first introduced. Nel has suffered amnesia. She can swallow cero attacks and fire them back. In her adult form, she can also add her own cero to this blast, doubling its power, aptly named a "double cero". Her released form is that of an ibex-like centaur with longer curved horns, a thick tail, and armor over her shoulders and hands. Her sword transforms into a double-ended white lance, giving her the appearance of a medieval knight or a jouster.

Pesche Guatiche - is a seemingly harmless, humanoid arrancar whose body is covered in a sort of light armor, complete with a mask resembling an insectoid head with a large pair of mandibles. His hollow hole is positioned near his stomach.

Dondochakka Bilstin - is a large, spotted humanoid arrancar with a tiki mask and compound eyes. Despite his menacing appearance, he is prone to tear-filled outbursts at the slightest provocation, usually when he’s worried about something.

So, I hope I was able to share to you some good facts and trivias of Bleach’s fearsome antagonist. While Espada is the most dangerous villain in bleach world, Akatsuki on the other hand spawned the Naruto world by collecting the bijuu.   

Ichigo’s battle between grimmjow has come to an end in this episode, although Ichigo suffers a lot of injury he still won at least.

Moving on, Grimmjow was strong but Ichigo promise to everyone to save them and bring back Inoue in their world no matter what. Before the fight was concluded Grimmjow remember his past, why he strives for himself to become strong, and how he started as a Menos.

Normally, Hollows eat human souls in order to bury their lost hearts and to quench the thirst of their own souls. In rare cases though, they have extremely strong thirsts that cause them to seek the souls of other Hollows. These Hollows tend to gather with others of their kind and start to eat each other, and this leads to them eventually combining into a Gillian. However, there are times when one of the Hollows’ abilities and ego surpass the others, and in these cases, the Gillian retains that Hollow’s individuality. Those Gillians consume other Gillians to continue their evolution, in the process turning into Adjuchas. Once this happens though, the Adjuchas are in danger of regressing back to being Gillians if they don’t continue to feed on other Hollows. If that occurs, then the Gillian can never return to being an Adjuchas again because they lose their individuality… –random curiosity

For Grimmjow, he became Espada because of some group of Adjuchas, led by Shawlong, he had been defeat. The group aims to becomes a Vasto lordes but in becoming one they need a stronger comrade, that is why they requested Grimmjow to become their King however as time passes by the group realize that they don’t have the capability to become Vasto Lordes therefore they asked Grimmjow to take their life for he has a chance to become Vasto Lordes.

Looking in Ichigo’s eye Grimmjow once again stab him and commences his strongest attack, Desgarrón, however Ichigo manage to get his balance and made a counter-attack that shatters Grimmjow’s claw. Thereafter Ichigo move towards Grimmjow and admit that he did come to fight and bring his comrades back safely to their world.

Furthermore, as Ichigo jumps back up to Inoue to check her Nel surprisingly leap towards Ichigo causing him a shocked. He then realizes how Nel and Inoue feel about him and then join up with everyone else.

Review: rating 7/10

As usual there is a sad past about the enemy. Why is this keeps happening every time the protagonist faces a strongest and deadliest rival? Well as to the episode there wasn’t any excitement about it, it just so predictable everyone knows that will happen. By the way want to know why, here’s some anime odd law.

Anyway do you guys know about fancy site about random thoughts on life and personal struggles? Well you can visit this site. She discusses about life experiences and everything that affects her personality, i’m talking about her latest entry. I don’t have much to say about jenifaa-sakura site but let me tell you something guys she originally made her own site.

In the previous episode of Bleach Ichigo protects Inoue from Grimmjow’s deadly attack and at the same time showed up his hollow form, the most scary face that Inui could never imagine. Seeing Ichigo in his hollow form Grimmjow releases his trumph card, a zanpaktou that makes him looks more ferocious and suddenly attacking Ichigo with his full strength.

Now moving on the episode.

On the far side building Halibel and her subbordinates watches Grimmjow fighting Ichigo like they never had anticipate. As they watch them fight they couldn’t imagine what they were seeing, because it as if they are watching two superior Espada is fighting in their front.

Continuing in their fighting scene. Ichigo and Grimmjow continue to attack every now and then. One sword slash after the other. Inoue couldn’t imagine what she is seeing and seems that Ichigo he known is no longer the Ichigo.

Grimmjow is his berserk and attacking without hesitation, although Ichigo manage to dodges his attacks he couldn’t deny that Inui is still their and realizes that he has to protect them so he take all the damage from Grimmjow’s blast.

As Ichigo protects her, she is reminded by his own hollow brother. Inoue tried not to be scared in front of Ichigo’s hollow form. Nel, on the other hand was shocked after seeing Ichigo being beaten by his enemy for the first time. Nel and Inoue then decided to cheer him up to be tough and defeat his enemy.

Thinking of how she decided to come to Hueco Mundo, that decision she make was to protect them but then admits that she had been happy when she knew they were coming to save her. Inoue tearfully yells at Ichigo not to get hurt even if he wins or not. Ichigo was surprised to hear this and finally decided to end his battle against Grimmjow.

This episode is very predictable. Ichigo is being beaten so bad but as he hear Inoue he suddenly get a strength and defeat Grimmjow in an instant. And even Grimmjow is being stunned. Isn’t odd? I just wonder why. No wonder I somehow lose interest on it, no offend to those who really love Bleach. But the next arc is somewhat interesting. New characters and all so I guess I need to just get used to it. Hehehe.

While watching Bleach and looking for more information about it I run to this interesting site which is about health, fitness etc. My resting place discusses anything about random thoughts. One of the entry discusses about keeping your family healthy, Visit Now. I just feel hungry seeing the image of food, it’s a filipino food but still I forgot the name of it. Still the tips is useful it’s true that active family relationship is a vital role in keeping a healthy family.

It’s been a while since I watch bleach. Now I tried to look for the newest episode in crunchyroll but it was removed. So I try to look in my other source and there it is. Kurosaki fight again with Grimmjow in episode 165. Watch the video. Now Ichigo shows his trumph card his hollow form. This fighting scene is pretty massive and so exaggerated. I wonder what will happen to mere human if it will be crushed like that. LOL! Ichigo in his hollow form is much serious and flexible, I mean his character, his height really fits in his bankai form, but take not note he even don’t have to say bankai just to transform himself into bankai state. As usual he still has his emotional part, especially when it comes to his ally. Grimmjow’s outfit is weird, and he looks like a gay. Heheh,

In episode 166, Ichigo still fights the Espada, with his level it is as if he is an Espada. But there is still a bit different about Ichigo’s level and Grimmjow’s level. I know Grimmjow is a powerful villain but Ichigo is far much powerful than Grimmjow, that is for sure. In the ending part, Ichigo said ‘I can’t afford any injuries anymore’ that means he is still not serious fighting Grimmjow even he is beating up. But anyway, did you notice how Ichigo reacted when he heard Inoue—take note again Inoue is in a far distance about 100 meters away yet he still hear exactly what she said, not after she shout—telling him to stop? And right after that his mood changes, then the battle ends. Do you guys know why Ichigo hears what Inoue said? Is the word of Inoue very powerful than anyone else? Or is it just Ichigo protecting Inoue because he loves her that much? What about Rukia? I’m just confuse about Ichigo, I keep wondering who he really like.

Next week the conclusion of their battle.
