Favorite Chapter Title

[Agmaster]

As in the contents barely matter, just the name or picture that stands out to you.

As for me, it's definitely "The bad Joke." I don't even remember which chapter that was, but I remember reading it and chuckling to myself at just how thin the fourth wall was becoming, and then going out into the world and letting it slip into my conversations.

"Planning to kill Vashj with 6 Warlocks at 1 in the morning on a Sunday? This is a bad joke."

"I spent 5 hours at the DMV and achieved nothing. Was like a bad joke."

I'm sure it's been longer than two weeks, but I use the phrase atleast thrice per day still. It's like a bad joke. Heh.

[Nocturne]

The Jugulators, awesome title, awesome naked Grimmjow and Ichigo. That and "You Don't Hurt Anymore".

[cassoult]

'In Sane We Trust' – weirdly awesome pun or just Engrish? Who knows

'The Supernal Tag' - not often that I learn a new English word from Japanese comics

'A Star and a Stray Dog' - I just really like the rhythm to that one

[Rain]

princess and dragon

memories in the rain

end of hypnosis (especially: the galvanizer)

shake hands with grenades

Some of these titles are just to crazy to not like:D

[aznxenocide]

Yeah, "A Star and a Stray Dog" is good...

"Can't Smile Don't Blame"
"Flower on the Precipice"
"Two Men are Burning"

[Agmaster]

Bleach does not have burning men. Gurrenn Lagann has burning men, FOTNS has burning men, even DBZ has burning. Oh, and Worst has burning men. THese guys are far too in touch with their feelings to be burning.

[Shinrin]

There's ALOT of good chapter names.

One of the nice ones not mentioned is "Paradise is now here"(But the pic behind Kon says "Paradise is no where") by moving the "W" from now to here it get's a completly diffrent meaning.


"Shake Hands with Grenades" is good aswell


But the most complex chapter name and so i'll give this the number one:

"Farewell Halicion days" (not sure of the spelling)
That chapter name cover quite the story.

[debbiechan]

"Two Men are Burning" amused me great for reasons Ag states. And I think that to date my favorite DUMB title is "Crying Little People" for the very reason that there was only one little crying person in the chapter (Ishida)

"Flower on a Precipice" is beautiful as is "A Star and a Stray Dog." Then the attempts at puns like "In Sane We Trust" are appreciated. There are some groaners there but I love a man who can play with language.

[Agmaster]

I hear language cheats, though. That's why noone plays with him.

[aznxenocide]

No, she's just a fickle little bitch. Whimsical, frivolous as hell....meh. She's hella fine though. :p

I don't think you can get a better first chapter title than "Death and the Strawberry" though...I mean, that just conjures up so many random images that it basically FORCES you to inquire for more information. Unlike random Naruto chapter titles. XD

[Shadoblak]

Death and the Strawberry Reprise
Get Back From the Storm: Trigger for a New Concerto
Back in Black
Night of the Sledgehammer

[Lady Orihime]

Hmmm...

"Rosa Rubicundior, Lillior Candidor"
"Black Moon Rising"
"The Blue Fog"
"Standing to Defend You"
"Confession in the Twilight"
"The Scarlet Creation"
"The Right of The Heart"
"Good Bye Halcyon Days"
"You don't hurt anymore"

[Jhaxe]

My favorites are definitely:

"No Shaking Throne"

and

"The Vulgarian Noise"

Kubo has such great chapter titles =P

[Velius]

If You Rise From The Ashes. - awesome chapter as well.

The End Is Near. - Hey look at that, another awesome chapter with an awesome name.

Left Arm of The Devil. - I'm done saying awesome.

[AnimeGirlPan]

I actually just love every since one that Kubo makes :)

[vaizado]

"Don't Kill My Volupture"
"Deja Chocolate Aqui"
"Silverflame"
"The Sun Already Gone Down"
"Immanent God Blues"

[Beee]

some of my faves (as i can remember) :

"end of hypnosis"
"memories in the rain"
"Eat meat, alone" (though I would've liked it better if it was "eat. meat. alone.", like I thought it was originally.. since it has a more zombie-ish tone xD)
"the cigar blues"

[abducted]

WARning
Legions of the Reglets
Dead Black War Cloud
Blookin Beast
Let Eat The World's End
Night of Wijnruit

[ShuiMei]

There's so many good ones! My favourite has always been "Quincy Archer Hates You" I love how awkward and straightforward it is. "WHY DO YOU EAT IT?" has always amused me and since I love word-play, "In Sane We Trust" is gold. Others that are much adored include:

Fighting Boy 2 (The Cigar Blues Mix)
Crossing The Rubicon
Symptom of Synesthesia
FOURTEEN DAYS FOR CONSPIRACY
A Star and a Stray Dog
Shake Hands With Grenades
memories in the rain2 op.4 "night of wijnruit"
end of hypnosis
PUNCH DOWN THE STONE CIRCLE
NO SHAKING THRONE
THE VULGARIAN NOISE

Oh and I love all of Kubo's little musical allusions, the reprises, the mixes; he even does that nonsensical capitalization that's so abundant in the Japanese music industry! Love it.

[ZoneGhost]

The Undead ^^ It's a great title

[NightMare]

Primal Fear
Warning
Broken Mask
Dog eat Dog
Regeneration
The frozen clutch

[Lady Scaper]

Ok I am dense, I don't get the word play of "Why do you eat it?"

Anyone care to explain? I don't if I have any favourites as half the words in the title I had to look up. *embarrassed*

[Syokhan]

To name only a few :

6/17 op.3 "memories in the rain"
Symptom of Synesthesia
Second Contact (it was outside the scope of our understanding)
Where Hollows Fear To Tread (I have to say this one is my all-time favourite, plus I love the picture)
FOURTEEN DAYS FOR CONSPIRACY
Countdown to The End:3 [Blind Light, Deaf Beat]
THE Speed Phantom2 [Denial by Pride, Contradiction by Power]
The Icecold Discord
Immanent God Blues
The Frozen Clutch
Five Ways To Three Figures
The End is Near

[Agmaster]

'Why Do You Eat It' mixes innuendo and the fact that hollows consume, I assume.

What was the context of 'Second Contact'? And I forget the image of Where 'Hollows Fear to Tread'. Though, saying that title in my head does make me agree that it is cool.

[ZoneGhost]

The Bad Joke is also a great title

[Graviija]

"Back in Black" is my all-time favorite. It just couldn't be more perfect, and it has a kind of..."cool" feel to it.

"Black Moon Rising" is also fantastic.

Bleach has so many awesome chapter titles and chapter illustrations. If nothing else, THAT is what gives Bleach so much soul (no pun intended). It's just so stylish and full of character. Kubo is one hell of a creative mind (for some things, anyway).

Oh, and "Creeping Limit".

[KurosakiNaruto]

"No Shaking Throne"

"Good Bye Halcyon Days" (Very poetic title, my favorite!)

"Blookin' Beast" (what was he thinking, this one's awesome too.)

"Quincy Archer Hates You" (I hate him too!)

"Where Hollows Fear To Tread" ( Must be a place worse than hell.....post-life.)

[Lady Scaper]

OK I am still dense, I don't get the innuendo. *shrugs*

[Syokhan]

What was the context of 'Second Contact'?

It was the chapter in which a jibakurei transforms into a hollow in front of Kanonji and Ichigo (vol.4)

And I forget the image of Where 'Hollows Fear to Tread'.

That was (naked) Rukia half-seen through black threads hanging from... somewhere ^^

[ShuiMei]

Ok I am dense, I don't get the word play of "Why do you eat it?"

Anyone care to explain? I don't if I have any favourites as half the words in the title I had to look up. *embarrassed*
Oh I didn't mean "WHY DO YOU EAT IT?" was word play, I liked the straightforwardness of it, it amuses me as it's like something a Japanese rock band would come up with for a song title. When speaking of word play I was referring to "In Sane We Trust," sorry to confuse you.

Regardless, I do believe "WHY DO YOU EAT IT?" was the chapter that introduced us to Kon so clearly he's referring to to the gikongan and all that entails...

[Lastier]

"Bang the Whore"

[Raf]

"Shake Hands with Grenades"

[Jaina]

"Deja Chocolate Aqui," "Quincy Archer Hates You" and "Nice to Meet You/I Will Beat You" all win for sheer random crack. I don't know if I could pick a single overall favorite.

[Kuchisaki]

Goodbye Halcyon Days, Heal for the Crash, and Corrosion of Conformity. They all sounded kinda neat to me.

[Shannon]

"Five Ways to Three Figures"
I just really like it. It's Chapter 250. :love

[Enth]

These are a few of my all-time favourites;

Something in the Aftermath
Be My Family Or Not
Tell Your Children the Truth
Mode: Genocide
Tug Your God Out
Hole in my Heart
WARning
The Vulgarian Noise


Kubo is the best when it comes to chapter titles :) ZombiePower had some awesome ones too, like "beLIEve", and "Lay Your Heart on Me".

[Nocturne]

Looking at everyone's list, I have to add "Black Moon Rising" to my faves. Love the play on CCR's song.

[cassoult]

The play on song titles that I prefer has to be 'Conquistadores 4 (Ebony & Ivory)' - very layered and slightly disturbing.

[Nocturne]

Oh so true, cassoult! Kubo's got a knack for irony, that's for sure. Gah, now the Ebony and Ivory song is stuck in my head!

[cassoult]

Gah, now the Ebony and Ivory song is stuck in my head!

...I'm truly sorry. No one deserves that fate :eek:
