Upcoming episodes and dates.

[Riekie]

sjalalala just like what you all expected when reading the above...yes..you are right..the upcoming episodes and dates for them:D *kyaa*

Yush..here we go!

Official Episode Titles:

http://cal.syoboi.jp/tid/491

168. The New Captain Appears! His name is Amagai Shuusuke
新隊長登場！その名は天貝繍助
Shin taichou toujou! Sono na wa Amagai Shuusuke
Air date: 2008-04-23

So..as you can see the list has yet to be uploaded with upcoming episodes...when the new titles are in.

[Kojy]

Interesting Riekie :D:D..
I've seen those 2 for a long time i wonder when they will update the upcoming names, i'm really praying so 133 won't be a fillerr yaaaaa :D.

[Riekie]

Yah..I know Koj..it's tough! I think, or better said hope that atleast one new title will be posted at the end of the week...but hey..one can only hope right?

[Kojy]

yep that's correct, but you know they stopped the original storyline in SUCH a good PART, like when they started the fillers i've stared my screen without reacting to anything else for like 5 mins xD

[Riekie]

Yups..this was the only filler timing they had and used it to it's full purpose. If they didn't use their brains then they would've been screwed so bad you don't wanna know!!

I am glad we have fillers..but on the other hand...I want my Bleach back:D

[Kojy]

WHO DOESN'T? :(

[Geta Boshi]

Going by the name 132 sounds like a one off filler episode or the beggining of the new arc . It sounds like ep 50 or ep 33

[Gintoki]

Going by the name 132 sounds like a one off filler episode or the beggining of the new arc . It sounds like ep 50 or ep 33

True, but on the other hand it's said to resume the Canon story, so it will maybe restart in the last minutes.

[Riekie]

True, but on the other hand it's said to resume the Canon story, so it will maybe restart in the last minutes.

Gah...if that's true then why are they being so cruel?! what have we done wrong to deserve that:( I need more than just a few minutes of it:D gah..Huge Cliffhangers...sometimes I like 'em...most of the time I don't..and that's exactly what will happening in that epi..

[Gintoki]

My oh my, the date for up to 134 is up, but there's not even a sign of 133's title. They really make us wait this time...

[Saint Jack]

Sorry if this is old news

[Zangetsu01]

News, Fillers, again...:(:(:(:(:( (from ANN)

2007-07-11
133. Ikkaku's Hot-Blooded Kendo Tale
Ikkaku, nekketsu kendou monogatari 「一角、熱血剣道物語」

2007-07-18
134. The Beautiful Patissier, Yumichika!
Utsukushiki PATISHIE, Yumichika! 「美しきパティシエ、弓親！」

[shivath]

I don't mind fillers about Ikkaku at least but of course I wish they would keep going on the original story. But either way, I knew fillers were coming. Either that or a long pause. I'm glad to see anything that shows somewhat useful stuff about their past and what not.

[Velius]

I may have to watch it, but I don't have to like it. rofl.

Looking forward to Yumi going shopping this time around. I'll take random over the story they have going right now. Random at least sounds fun.

[Gintoki]

Looks like they'll cover now each Char from Hitsu's group per ep. I would have liked a whole arc of 10 eps, instead of those nonsense 1 ep fillers.

But you can't have everything you want.

[Velius]

I think I would prefer one nonsense episode at a time. What they have going right now is just so boring. At least with one ep at a time, they can cram a lot of stuff into it and maybe pick up the pace. Even if it is only for one episode at a time.

[Saint Jack]

According to the guys post in 2ch, he expects the fillers not to be over until September, though he's not a reliable source.

[Gintoki]

Oh well if they'll really last till september, then a bleach-free anime time will start for me. But i don't believe, they'll bring the fillers so long, it would be so out of place.

[yanniv]

Fillers for the whole month of July.

And it was just his opinion that the real storyline will return in September.

[xYunniex]

God, I hate these fillers, but I guess they'll not be as bad as the bountou-arc...
That sucked. Hmmm... Yumichika and cake? o.O (Then I'll know for shure he's slightly gay ^^)

Oh well, ...

~Yun

and yes... I'm new here ^w^

[spacecat]

Hmmm interesting titles, a pity that the episodes probably won't be interesting xD Ah well ya never know, I'll watch anyways :D

[Mz D]

134.The Beautiful Patissier, Yumichika looks interesting only as it'll star Yumichika in a cake shop. It must be one of those random anime episodes. Ah well at least they can be fun if you don't take it seriously.

[Syn]

Lol, ep 134 looks so random. I think I'll watch it to laugh a bit XD

[Weils]

Lol, ep 134 looks so random. I think I'll watch it to laugh a bit XD

Well...I guess ep 135's as random too. From ANN, and I'm certain this is correct, with Japanese blogs listing this title as ep 135 along with those titles for ep. 133 & 134.

2007-07-25
135. Kon is Deceived! Rangiku on the Lookout
Hakarare ta, Kon! Rangiku ha mite ita 「はかられた、コン！乱菊は見ていた・・」

Kon's gonna get the Rangiku boot again...:D

[Gintoki]

Oh we, i'm feeling like i'm in the prime time of the naruto fillers. Studio Pierrot what have you done. Look what Toei is doing, so you learn how to make fillers. Shame on you...

[Velius]

These won't be anything as long as the Naruto fillers. I'm guessing by the new opening, 142-144ish, will be the end of the fillers. I'm just curious to see what the new opening is going to be anyways....

[Kojy]

A new opening already? :), this one is cool, one of my favs. I think they should just change the ending cuz it's really stupid imo >_>

[Velius]

The next episode, 132, will have a new ending. Still a ways off of a new opening though. About 10-12 more episodes. But, that will be here sooner then you think.

[vaizado]

Im thinkin at least the whole summer will be filled with fillers. They'll be back with the original storyline sometime fall/winter. At least I hope that happens. I mean, this seems like the BEST time to squeeze as many filler episodes as possible to let the manga go ahead. If they were to go back to the manga story and catch up to the manga AGAIN right in the middle of the HW arc would be a very sticky situation.

[Shannon]

Well, there goes the summer anime lineup for me. Oh well. I wonder if it'll be as long as last filler's. But the anime was pretty close to the manga, I can see why they needed a filler.

[SiSL]

How many people stay at home at summers at 19:55? I mean holiday, beach, tis is season! ;)

[ilovemybishies]

The fillers hurt me inside because they make the characters so...stupid. I mean, they are supposed to be preparing for this big war and what are they doing? Playing soccer, apparently. *headdesk*

I guess it's better that the fillers are here instead of in between the Arrancar arc and Hueco Mundo arc. I would REALLY be pissed off then....>.<;;

[@lch3mizt]

Riekie thanks for the dates.

[Riekie]

Sure thing @lch3mizt!

aannd NOOO!

135.Kon is Deceived! Rangiku on the Lookout..
Hakarare ta, Kon! Rangiku ha mite ita 「はかられた、コン！乱菊は見ていた・・」

Well..I guess it happen sometime..now isn't that right Kon?! hehehe

[NightMare]

Riekie do you know new episode titles?(after 135)

[Sola]

Heres some from NF. Really odd...

136 "Hueco Mundo civil war! Ulquiorra dies"
"Hueco Mundo nairan! Ulquiorra shinu" (ウェコムンド内乱！ウルキオラの死) August 1, 2007
137 "Battle of bad faith, Aizen's trap"
"Akui no tatakai, aizen no wana" (悪意の戦い、藍染の罠) August 8, 2007

[Jhaxe]

137 "Battle of bad faith, Aizen's trap"
"Akui no tatakai, aizen no wana" (悪意の戦い、藍染の罠) August 8, 2007

I saw those and laughed XD Unless they are some oddly named fillers (for the bad guys? O-o) then I'm harboring some serious doubt...

[Byakuya]

Lol.. "Ulquiorra dies"? :lmao

Interesting find..

[Sola]

I hope Bleach doesnt go seperate storyline from manga if these are real.

[ForteAnly]

What wierd titles they must have run out of names for episodes. If they are real that would be an interesting fiiler in Hueco Mundo probably.

[SiSL]

Second title looks it is going exactly in Canon...

First one might be HM filler which might be interesting tho...

[Jhaxe]

Second title looks it is going exactly in Canon...

I've never seen a filler about the antagonists before...it would be highly entertaining...

As for the 'Ulquiorra Dies' part...well...that's mostly why I'm doubtful ><

[yanniv]

The Ulquiorra dies part makes it all seem fake.

The Aizen title seems like it could be based off the manga storyline, though.

[Miranu]

Hmmm HM fillers nice :D I bet the arrancars will make a theatre for Aizens birthday, but no one can play real good in Las Noches, so they will need a man, with awesome manipulating, and playing skillz /with that sad clown face he's the best afterall :P/ so They're asking Ulquiorra, to help them to act :) Now I can think of many funny situations coming from this idea :rotflmao Like Ulquiorra will be the only one who play dead the most effectively :D

But I think it looks fake :D /if not, I hope they will make good spoilers /

[Weils]

Well...from what I see, the episode titles may turn out true. But don't think too much of Ulquiorra's seemingly death. Usually the titles are overly-exaggerated. Remember episode 100's title?

Some spoilers below (don't read it if you don't want to!)

Anyway, from what I found here (http://pc.webnt.jp/anime/detail0085130707.html), the episode 136 & 137 summaries say there will be a new arrancar filler character who goes against Aizen by the name of Patra (パトラス in Japanese) and steals Hogyoku for his own purposes.

[krompt]

No just what i don't want XP
Fillers with the Espada, the animators are gonna ruin it XP
I would rather a whole episode about kon and hime's boobz

[shivath]

If that is true I wonder if this filler is going to have more length to it. Maybe not as much as bounto arc but it does sound like it's going to more then just a episode or two.

I didn't realize it was on Newtype. It may very well be true then.

Oh boy, these fillers are going to be something.

[Weils]

I see ANN has updated on the episode titles. Same as those 2 titles revealed earlier, but titles are a bit different.

136. Civil War in Hueco Mondo! Ulquiorra's death
HUECO MUNDO no nairan! Ulquiorra no shi 「ウェコムンドの内乱！ ウルキオラの死」

137. The Malicious Battle, Aizen's Trap
Akui no tatakai, Aizen no wana 「悪意の戦い、藍染の罠」

At least these titles sound better than the previous version. :)

[yanniv]

*Translation of the two summaries provided in the link:

破面(アルラカン)のひとり、パトラスが藍染(あいぜん)に反逆し、崩玉(ほうぎょく)を盗み出す。反逆に 気づいたウルキオラだが、パトラスの仲間たちに倒され、パトラスは現世の浦原商店へと向かう。

An Arrancar, by the name of Patras, betrays Aizen and steals the Hougyoku. Ulquiorra realizes the treason and pursuits Patras. Patras and his comrades beat down Ulquiorra. Patras then proceeds into the material world and heads toward Urahara's shop.

浦原商店でパトラスと戦う恋次(れんじ)は、パトラスの居合の剣に圧倒されるが、卍解(ばんかい)して地下 特訓場に引きずり込むことに成功し、互角の戦いをする。一方、日番谷(ひつがや)たちはパトラスの仲間相手 に苦戦していた。

Patras arrives at Urahara's shop and fights with Renji. Patras draws his sword which seems to overwhelm Renji. Renji then goes Bankai and drags the battle to the underground training area where the match appears to be equal. Meanwhile all this is happening, Hitsugaya fights a hard battle against Patras' partner.

Thanks for the translation.

Honestly I hope this isn't true :rolleyes: As for Ulq, IF he died. Could Aizen make a new Ulq? I seem to remember the hollows/arrancars would be reborn or something. For me that sounds like a bad idea to ressurect people and so on just to make a filler episode. But your translation says 'beat down' and not killed so guess he might just be hurt at that time.

[yanniv]

Thanks for the translation.

Yeah, no problem.

Well, the way the person said it, it made it sound nice. I can only translate from his point of view. And the title does say Ulquiorra dies. So... I guess we'll have to wait and see.

[Riekie]

Just one thing: Where's GRIMMJOW!!!XD hahaha LOL! I think it's a good idea to give the bad guys some filler time..but please..don't give them different personalities..they've already screwed up so many:(

EDIT: updated the list cuz the titles also appeared on ANN.

[Gintoki]

If that's not fake i don't know what is. As if they've made a bunch of fillers just to change the story. Na hell, if they'll do that, that will be my last bleach ep for sure.

I haven't found anything yet on the page i look for the ep titles usually.

[Riekie]

Where do you usually look Gintoki? I always find them @ ANN..that's just the easiest one for me.

[Rain]

These fillers sound like they might be pretty good, I'm somewhat excited.

[Gintoki]

The ANN Titles are posted by usual members, though they are correct most of the time. I'm always looking at http://cal.syoboi.jp/tid/491

[Riekie]

Ahh okie..thanks for that Gintoki..I didn't know it was posted by members..I thought that the staff updated the titles every week (although that would explain why a few days ago no. 135 was there and now 136 and 137 as well).

oow and thanks for the link...gonna check that one out;)

[SiSL]

but please..don't give them different personalities..they've already screwed up so many:(

I dont see where did this happen...

Beside fillers are Kubo approved stories, so they are not like "lets make a character from scratch" while Kubo can not make his own consistency even between two chapters following each other, its hard to blame anime team.

[Gintoki]

Do you know how Kubo approves stories? He gets paid and has to accept it. There's no way he would say "Oh no, don't make Ikkaku so goofy". He will intervent if they really mess up the story, which they can do ofcourse because they have the copyright for BleachAnimation. All what Kubo gives are advises, but he can't control how the anime will go.

[Jhaxe]

Wow, if these are real upcoming eps than I hope they don't ruin too much of the Upcoming arc. However, from the two titles given, it doesn't see like they're spoiling any characters we haven't yet seen in the Anime other than the filler arrancar mentioned in the summary. I hope this to be the case. It would be horrific to ruin the HM arc by revealing characters in fillers. >>

[Rain]

I doubt they will ruin the HM arc, whenever an anime strays from the original storyline it spells doom for the anime.

[Jhaxe]

Yeah, just look at Shaman King...Great manga...horrible Anime >< It was pretty sad...

[Sola]

Worst anime that didnt follow original storyline IMO was Ichigo 100%. He didnt end up with ANYONE.

[Byakuya]

Thanks for spoilers and translation. I think I will refuse to watch this sillyness though, since...

'Patras' manages to beat down Ulquiorra while Bankai Renji puts up a good fight? D:

[Velius]

I wouldn't say those are real until they are on the official page. On any of the pages even. The ones on NF or even ANN could be always be made up. I'm going with fake.

Although I wouldn't mind seeing episodes like these. I would rather see episodes with canon characters then the ones with random filler characters. It gives the overall story less of a 'made up on the spot' feel. Though there is a risk in using the arrancar that haven't been introduced.

Well the deal with these kinds of episodes is... they will probably not fit in well with the original story. The title of 136 makes it look like Ulquiorra dies. And all us manga readers know that is very hard to imagine.

So, like you said earlier, I'm hoping it's confusing on some people's part and it was purposely leaked as a fake to fool people. Because if it isn't, it's going to be hell trying to understand exactly what is strong and what isn't for the anime viewers.

[Velius]

Yea, fillers involving canon characters can throw off the power standings. But if these titles to turn out to be be true, there would be ways to pull it off that wouldn't mess up anything. Not counting the fact that titles themselves are often not even close to what happens. XD

ANN still has the titles up, but they still aren't on the official page. I think it's possible that some blogger could get the titles early, but as every day passes, they seem more and more fake.

[vaizado]

Im cant wait to see these fillers actually.

Of course Ulquiorra wont die, thats the point of the title, to poke people's interest; like "Ulquiorra dies?". You know, more like a question. Even the last episode title gives it away that this rebel Arrancar is gonna get screwed. "Aizen's trap," obviously means Aizen is gonna butt rape him. Not him personally, but Ulquiorra, who will come out in the last episode of this "mini-arc" in a "zomfg! youre not dead?!" type of fashion and kill the Arrancar.I dont see how they can mess up the original story at all with things like these. Its just like the episodes with Hitsugaya's group.

[Jhaxe]

That's true. If these are indeed real episode titles, then perhaps the portion 'Ulquiorra Dies!' was actually more of a question, like that episode in the Bounto Arc...where it said 'Soi-Fong Dies?!' I dunno, just throwin' out possibilities.

[NightMare]

I think they will be interesting episodes(maybe they give a new plot in the story of bleach)but i wish not ruin it

[Rain]

As long as they don't mess up any big parts to the story I don't care what the fillers do.

[Velius]

They have their leeway with what they can do. I seriously doubt they would screw up anything BIG that's happened already. It's alwasy possible that they could screw up something that hasn't happened.

[Geta Boshi]

The titles are accurate anyone can edit ANN WIki BUT its going to get corrected in a matter of hours . The tiles are just misleading

[ForteAnly]

Assuming if they are true the only that sounds like it's going back to the story is "Battle of bad faith, Aizen's trap". When the plan to get Orihime starts but other than that it we just to wait and see.

[vaizado]

The way the manga storyline is progressing, Im starting to think the fillers are gonna run all summer long.

[Velius]

Possible, but I wouldn't put any money on it going that way. I'm still saying by the next opening, 9ish episodes or so, we will be back with the manga story. They won't mess up the story that by dragging out the month of leeway time more then that. Plus there's the opening and the new ending, it's coming back. Soon.

Btw, 136 and up still not confirmed.

[Dascu]

Hmm, assuming the 136+ episode titles and summaries are correct, then I'm surprised they didn't decide to use the new Arrancar for the Bleach Wii game, Arturo Plateado. We don't need yet another new non-manga-canon villain.

[vaizado]

Possible, but I wouldn't put any money on it going that way. I'm still saying by the next opening, 9ish episodes or so, we will be back with the manga story.


Nine episodes is over two months, which is basically almost the time when summer will be over. >.<

[Jhaxe]

Yeah...I counted...when the new opening is supposed to be out, it'll be time for school again >>

[ForteAnly]

Hopefully the next coming fillers are at least entertaining until they go back to the manga story line.

[vaizado]

Also, it's not certain the fillers will end exactly when the new opening start.

"Rolling Star" started at episode 98, and the fillers didnt end until ep 109. Thats more than two more months of fillers.

Yup, Im thinking the fillers are here to stay for a long time once again. All you gotta do is look at where the manga is at this moment and the pacing is going and you'll understand that these fillers arent gonna be "short."

The sad thing is it wont be a one arc filler like the Bount. Instead, they're going the same road the Naruto fillers went; small mini-arcs. And those are bad when they go on for a long time.

[Velius]

Too many things, IMO, are pointing toward the fillers not being extremely dragged out. For one, the opening and now the new ending. They wouldn't make that the opening if it wasn't coming in the current season or the next season.

Also, the fact that there is only a month of time for them to put in filler story wise. And they are keeping track of the days. In the first episode of the filler it said it had already been 8 days. I very much doubt, they would drag the fillers out more then the month and screw up the whole story.

[Velius]

Indeed. And watch the episode titles be confrimed on the main page around the same time. :D

[Gintoki]

Bleach 136 Preview: http://www.dailymotion.com/search/bleach/video/x2m8wo_bleach-136-preview_fun

Something i found.

Looks like another Filler, but NO Ulquiorra

[Velius]

Uh, I saw Ulquiorra in there... The second one shown right after Renji? It does look like filler, with Aizen and Ulquiorra that is. :D Hmm.

[Gintoki]

That image of Ulquiorra seemed like recycled footage to me, and the drawing of Aizen was terrible. Oh my god where has my Bleach gone...

[Velius]

Yea, lots of recycled images, but that's to be expected. Especially from a 10 second preview. I thought the shot of Aizen was ok. At least I don't see anything that screams horrible. I would much rather have fillers will all canon characters (132), then random filler characters.

[spacecat]

The Aizen pics kinda look like the panels in 249 after Inoue declares her intentions. I hope they don't make some lame Aizen filler with fugly drawings cos then I really might have to watch it.... but probably be twice as appalled as usual.

[Syn]

LMAO Space XD That's the problem of the fillers: when a character you like is in, you feel compelled to watch it. And then you curse the animators for making him/her:
-fugly (they do that often)
-OOC (they do that nearly all the time)
-stupid
XD

[Velius]

Hey, hey, don't knock it till you rocked it. :D

Ah, who am I kidding. It's bleach fillers. :/

[Jhaxe]

Hm...that looked...interesting...I guess we'll just have t' wait for a translation to see what's going on...

[Gintoki]

Darn, these guys really know hot to make us wait. Now we still don't know if next week will be Canon Restart or filler.

[Jhaxe]

I know...the anticipation is killin' me >>

[ForteAnly]

I hope to Aizen that the fillers are ending soon.

[duffman13]

i think it's too early for a title like 137.The Malicious Battle, Aizen's Trap. In relation to the Mascaron Drive and White Invasion chapters, Not Negotiation, which sort of corresponds with the episode title, is 6 chapters later. Unless there's a large amount of chapters per ep, i'm more inclined to think this is arancar filler rather than a return to canon

[Gintoki]

The impossbile happened. The Ep titles were officially confirmed :(

[Velius]

Yea, talk about being late to the party. :/ More then likely they were finally put up there because of the week break they are taking.

[Rain]

So these fillers are ending. :D

Once the HM arc starts there aren't really any places for fillers are there?

[Gintoki]

Normally not, but you know if needed they could always put a filler between some fights, which i don't hope.

[Rain]

Yeah, I'd rather them just not have an episode for a week than have a filler right in the middle of an arc.

[Velius]

I'm glad they haven't done that yet. Lets hope they keep the fillers inbetween the arcs, like they have been. Although, they did split the arrancar arc in half kinda, because of the one month jump. But that's expected. I'm guessing HM fillers till September-ish time.

[Rain]

For some reason I can see this happening:

Ichigo Grimmjow are fighting, episode ends with GJ about to release, the next episode is another Karakura Heros episode.

[Gintoki]

I believe the animators have also realized the HM is finished after the current GJ fight, so maybe 137 is indeed the Canon Restart. Well, looks like we'll depend once more on the preview of the next ep.

[Jhaxe]

Confirmed, eh? Well...this should be...shouild I attempt interesting? I'm still not too sure of how they're going to approach this...

No idea if the info is real but it seems to match the style of the old model sheet/sketch books for the anime..eh who knows these days @_@

[Gintoki]

Thanks for the info space, but that's bad news :(

Looks's like the Bleachfree animtime will commence for me.

[Dascu]

A new filler arc set inside Hueco Mundo? That could either be really good or really bad.

[Rain]

Fillers in Hueco Mundo, that could be pretty good. It's worth a shot at least (the fillers make the regular episodes all the better).

[Velius]

Fillers in Hueco Mundo, that could be pretty good. It's worth a shot at least (the fillers make the regular episodes all the better).
Although that is true, they being down the overall quality level of the entrie series, which is, a very bad thing.

So then, it looks like we will more then likely be in for the long haul then. Sigh. Oh well, lets hope these fillers are decent. You would figure that they have so much experience will fillers now, that they would be able to get down a decent arc. :/

The placement of the current opening and ending still urk me. Why put it there if they are going to put it off. ...

I read some of the Japanese words (so small) and it seems to really imply a new filler arc like what you are saying, spacecat. That "Acid" character somehow looks like Shiba Kaien to me, except more sterner. :D The bull's mask seems to be his. And there seems to be another guy with shorter hair behind him (Patra?).

And I wonder where I can get this model sheet book...looks like it isn't used just for reference among Kubo and his artist team and can be bought. I don't think it will be a "Official Character Book SOULs" Vol.2 yet (coz that covers manga and isn't long enough to make another volume) but I believe a Vol.2 of "Official Animation Book VIBEs" (which covers anime up from eps 1-63) is more likely to arrive.

[Cookie-chan]

Whow.. that's cool. Thanks space! :)

I hope it wont end up like the bount arc though.. :D

[chbimun]

Hmm i just saw these pics, they look like they are from a new filler arc (it's from a model sheet book for the new anime arcs)

They're the last four pages of volume 29. I posted Higher res scans in the manga v29 thread.

[AnimeGirlPan]

Nice pics spacecat and hope they show good fillers then

[Weils]

Hi guys! Looks like the main storyline is back!

138. Hueco Mondo moves again! Hitsugaya vs. Yammy
HUECO MONDO sai dou! Hitsugaya vs. Yammy 「ウェコムンド再動！ 日番谷vsヤミー」
Air date: 2007-08-29

Ichigo vs. Grimmjow, 11 byou no tatakai 「一護vsグリムジョー、 11秒の戦い」
Air date: 2007-09-05

Sypnosis translated from Newtype:
Ep 138: It's been several months since Ichigo undergone special training under Hirako's supervision. However Ichigo's duration period of hollowification is not prolonged easily, and Hirako feels that there is insufficient time to continue training. Meanwhile, Rukia and Orihime both train together under Ukitake's eye. On the other hand in Hueco Mondo, Aizen gathers the elite "Espada", unstability of movement is seen.

Ep. 139: Grimmjow along with 4 arrancars arrive in the real world, Ichigo, Hitsugaya and the others prepare to meet the threat. Grimmjow goes against Ichigo, Ichigo initiates bankai and his hollow mask, releasing 黒い月牙天衝 (in English anyone?) Meanwhile, Hitsugaya and the rest goes up against the new Espada No.6, Luppi, making it a tough battle. Luppi's release brings out 8 tentacles and shoots down Hitsugaya's Hyourinmaru. Rangiku, Ikkaku and Yumichika are caught by Luppi's tentacles and are cornered...

[vaizado]

Those better be real... and better have good animation. ><

[Gintoki]

Yeah!!! I knew there's a god in this world.

Those guys better hide themselves good and lock their doors if those titles are fake.

[yanniv]

黒い月牙天衝 = Kuroi Getsuga Tenshou

[Air]

So.. the current filler is going to end by next episode?
Too good to be true O_O

[yanniv]

The same people who gave us that list of titles, that everyone thought out to be false due to the content, is giving us this list of episode titles. I say they are the real deal.

[Rawren]

But news is excellent! Bout time we move up in the story.

[Nama]

Wow I didn't expect the fillers to end this soon. :) So the titles are most likely real? Well, they can't be fake if the ones who posted them have posted real titles before; unless they're messing with us, which I think they're not.

The animation better be good for the canon episodes :yell :p

[Rain]

The fillers are stopping soon:eek::D, as long as the animation is better than it was in ep 136 i'll be happy

[Raf]

2 episodes back from the filler and the Grimmjow fight begins, I thought they could atleast squirt out 3.... (I wonder if they will actual hold the "11 seconds" or if they do like a quasi-slowmotion deal...

[Jhaxe]

I'm impressed. If the fillers are actually endin' this quickly, then perhaps I'll give them some props after all. However, they had better buff up the animation quality quite a few notches, although I'm gettin' the vibe it was only so bad because they were fillers.

[NightMare]

Finally the 2nd long awaited battle will soon begin!!!:D

[vaizado]

Hmm, does that mean that "Arbolada de la Menos" or w/e will take part in the middle of the next arc? o_O

[yanniv]

Hmm, does that mean that "Arbolada de la Menos" or w/e will take part in the middle of the next arc? o_O

That sounds about right.

It should take place between when the crew gets there and right before they actually split up

[Gintoki]

Hmm, does that mean that "Arbolada de la Menos" or w/e will take part in the middle of the next arc? o_O


Nah, i just called my Studio Pierrot Mates in Japan and told them, there's no need for filler anymore, so they'll continue. :D


No really... i really don't want that arc to be disrupted a "2nd time". They should rather extend the current fillers, but don't butcher that that arc in 1000 pieces.

[Riekie]

Riekie is confused...is the sooner-than-expected Hueco Mundo - Arc being fused with canon and filler? gah...Riekie does not want that to happen...too confusing and changing the 'thruth' in my ever so humble opinion...

oo well..who am I to say such things>.>

[ForteAnly]

It's about time they went back to the original storyline. These episodes eat the chapters away pretty fast. There is probably at least two more episodes after that when thet reach the Hueco Mundo arc.

[Velius]

Part of me agrees with Air, seems way too soon. That means that the next episode is the last filler, which is possible i guess. But, like Riekie said, the better not mix the two to draw it out more. That would be very very very bad. Even worse then fillers on their own.

I guess we'll know in another week, with the preview. Indeed there doesn't look to be a reason the titles won't hold up, like yanniv said. Everyone keep your fingers crossed.

[imamess]

I figured they'd start up again at 141 with the new opening. Not that each arc has its own opening, but it's a nice little correlation.

If there are canon fight scenes, it'll be done well. It's just so crazy to see the quality dip from Ichigo's first fight with Grimmjaw to how horrible the last episode was.

If they do mix filler and canon, what would be a good time for them to switch once they hit Hucedo Mundo without interrupting the story flow (and ruining everything)?

[ForteAnly]

I just hope the animation doesn't look like crap when it comes to these battles because what's the point of going back if the animation quality is that of fillers still. I guess we have to wait and see how the episodes are going to be hopefully good.

[Lady Scaper]

I hope they don't mix Canon and filler. That would be just wrong. Also, why mix things up now?

[Velius]

Well, they waited till about half ways through D. gray man to start mixing the two, from what I have heard. It honestly wouldn't surprise me if they did mix it. But judging from the synopsis and titles from Weils, it looks like they won't.

[Peachilicious]

Thank you so much for the news Weils! (Why is it that sites always get updated whenever I stop looking... XD)

Good to hear that we're going back to canon very soon. I just hope the animation improves from last episode. It doesn't have to be ground-breaking or anything, but as long as it's at least decent, I'll be happy. XD

[spacecat]

yay cya fillers for now XD So we get some Luppi action soon eh :rotflmao

[Gintoki]

I'm still surpressing my happyness till i see those titles officially confirmed. And Luppi heh, i dunno if he'll last more than 3 eps.

[Velius]

Well, for me the fact that they are from Newtype is official enough for me to believe them. No reason to doubt it otherwise at this point. I'm sure someone somewhere knows what the studio is working on. XD

[ForteAnly]

As long as the animation is good then everything should be okay when the action starts on 138.

[AnimeGirlPan]

Finally when the fillers are over...the action will begin
(note-then i can make more bleach gifs :D)

[Gintoki]

The official page was updated, too. Now i can finally sleep at night

[ForteAnly]

We can finally rejoice in Bleach happiness again assuming if everything goes right.

[emoloz]

AT LAST THE FILLERS ARE GOING FOR A WHILE. I though i was going to die having to watch another batch. Seriously need to recruit some filler writers while the storyline is a running.

[ForteAnly]

Isn't it the same studio that animated Naruto that animates Bleach. If it is that kinda explains why the fillers stink.

[AnimeGirlPan]

Thank god that the fillers are going away for awhile i think..cause its getting kinda boring

[Kojy]

They're just extending Bleach future so we can't blaim all the fillers =P.

I'm happy that these fillers are gone, the timing was correct for them to show up and leave, still i'm SO disappointed at episode 136, because they kinda ruined someone status >_<!, so i hope his pride comes back in this episode.

Yeah, poor Ulquiorra they disgraced him so bad even if it was all just act or an illusion of sort. I hope before that last filler end that Ulquiorra kills them for making him seem pathetic and weak that will show them.

[ayumisrael]

No epi this week?

[Gintoki]

Nono, unfortunately not. Not that i'm hot on the next ep, but it has to pass so the really good part can commence again.

[Riekie]

@ ayumisrael: next episode will be on the 22nd of August..i know it's a long wait but after that...the awesomeness will begin againXD

CANON FTW!!!

[Velius]

They are just killing for as much as time right now with all these breaks, which is a good thing. Hiatus > fillers any day. There might even be another break before the story starts back up again.

[yanniv]

I would hope for not another week off before the manga resumes. That would just be wrong, especially after my whole summer I had to put up with worthless filler episodes. I was actually looking forward to a summer of good anime episodes and now I have to look forward to watching the main storyline while I'm back in school. >.>

[edtide25]

Yea I agree with you... Just had the worst summer ever by watching the fillers..The last episode is the worst and the graphics on Ulquiorra just made me cry. Especially getting pwned by some newborn Arrancar. I just hope it won't happen again.

[ForteAnly]

I'm glad that fillers are gone but that doesn't mean they will be gone forever. If they do add any fillers during the Hueco Mundo Arc hopefully there one shoters involving Kon and Don Kanonji. Either that or just don't air an episode which always works best.

[Air]

During the next saga, I think they'll use that "Arbolada de al Menos" thing

[Velius]

During the next saga, I think they'll use that "Arbolada de al Menos" thing
Is that a reference to the game character? If not, I have no clue what you talking about. lol.

If they don't take the episodes at a good pace and if Kubo takes the HM arc even father, then that could be very bad for them. I'm talking fillers right in the middle of the arc. :/ If the quality is up and the episodes go at a nice pace, I would gladly take an episode every 2 weeks from now on.

[Gintoki]

If the quality is up and the episodes go at a nice pace, I would gladly take an episode every 2 weeks from now on.

That are my words. I'd rather have Bleach only every 2 weeks than some filler. But I guess the animation team and TV Tokyo won't do that since they want money.

[Evility]

I agree too. It will be a... disaster to break the beautiful HM arc with some fillers...
I think I won't stand "Karin and her football problems" or Isshin fillers O.o

[Urahara]

Yea I agree with you... Just had the worst summer ever by watching the fillers..The last episode is the worst and the graphics on Ulquiorra just made me cry. Especially getting pwned by some newborn Arrancar. I just hope it won't happen again.

Do you really think that was Ulqi...?
I don't think he would get pwned just like that by these arrancars. Did it
cross your mind that was just an illussion of Ulquiorra? Was that room empty
or Aizen-sama happened to be there and he has some kind of a plan?

[Evility]

It was Ulquiorra. You forgot what Yammi said - "I wish we all could recover like your eye". Also Ulquiorra's skin is like iron. The fact that he bled a bit shouldn't be itself something we should worry about - he just let the rebels prick him a bit. Rebeling against the Espada is rebeling against Aizen sama. Perhaps it was all part of Aizen's plan - he suspected the blue moustache* and his friends weren't okay with him so he decided to find an easy way to get rid of them.
So why Ulquiorra but not somebody else? Well, they couldn't put some of the other Espada since we know nothing about them, we don't even know some of the names - I'm talking about Halibel, Stark, the old dude, the black dude, etc. Grimm ain't the man for such missions - he's too peevish and he could ruin the whole thing. Yammi is too stupid and perhaps Szayel Aporro [gosh, I hate his name] is too bisy with investigation and experiments.

[Gintoki]

Guys you are sliding a bit from the topic ~~

You can discuss those things in the thread of the current ep.

[NightMare]

Patience until 29 august!!!!

[Air]

Is that a reference to the game character? If not, I have no clue what you talking about. lol.

I'm talking about this :D

[Byakuya]

Thank God. No more Patros please D:

[Griffith]

finally canon stuff at ep 138 ^^

[Frostman]

I hope thy don't make this next grimmjow/Ichigo look bad. That and the luppi fight is going to be the highlight of this arc(and the orihime confession scene).

[Zelos]

finally canon stuff at ep 138 ^^

i hope youre right :/

[ForteAnly]

If it's going according to the confirmed episode titles then we now that the fillers are ending at 138. If only the animation quality went up when they actually start the new episodes.

[McDoogle]

Your joking! another week of break! comon! we've only had 1 episode this month!

[Gintoki]

Your joking! another week of break! comon! we've only had 1 episode this month!


Hmm? What do you mean? Did I miss something?

Time for episode titles again, on ANN.

140. Ulquiorra's Scheme, the Moment when the Sun Sets
Sakubou no Ulquiorra, taiyou ga shizumu toki 「策謀のウルキオラ、太陽が沈む時」
Air date: 2007-09-12
141. Goodbye..., Kurosaki
Sayonara..., Kurosaki-kun「さよなら…、黒崎くん」
Air date: 2007-09-19

Hueco Mondo arc is going to start soon. :D I have seen some Japanese blogs labeling ep 142 as the time when the Orihime rescue team heads into the big bad hollow's world. Ep 143 will start the 7th OP theme, so the timing is just right. After they enter Hueco Mondo, I guess they will start the "Forest of Menos" filler arc (in order to let the manga progress further).

[Rain]

thanks Weils:hug

Episode 141 is going to be awesome.

[Cassius]

Thanks for the name of news chapters, I want see the chapter 141 xDDD.

[ForteAnly]

Alright new titles so Hueco Mundo by 142 huh. I can't wait until Hueco Mundo actually begins and all the crazy fights to begin.

[Riekie]

But still...they are cramming the epis..and thus hurrying us back into Filler domain>.< why can't y'all just take it slow...for once. Not that I would mind seeing Kitten again but still...drag it out!

[Rain]

The number of chapters used per episode isn't quite as high as it was back in the SS arc, but i agree it is still too fast.

The Hueco Mundo fillers will probably start not too long after episode 141 right (episode 143-144)?

[Gintoki]

Argh Rain... don't remind me of those HM fillers again. Now i was so happy to have Bleach Anime Ownage for some time again, and you tell me about those fillers. I' m still hoping those FillerArts were supposed to be on the April Issue, linked with the 01/04 Fools day, but got delayed!!!

[Riekie]

Erm....nooeeesies? Is it supposed to be used this quickly?? oow...pwease:( Okie...then the fillers can start right after 141 (or what the hell is going in that epi) or when Ichigo, Uryuu and Sado have just entered Hueco Mundo..please...let it be the second option...pwease!!

[Cassius]

Tha animate is in chapter 229 and until chapter 141 it will be used until the 237, a total of 9 chapters to do 4, to a rate of 2,25 by chapter.

I think that is that are too many chapter of manga to make 4 chapter, First animate will arrive to where they know Nell and her Brothers, later it will begin "La arbolada de almenos", this is my Theory.

[Riekie]

Erm...so La arbolade de almenos is supposed to be the new filler arc?

[Cassius]

La arbolada de almenos, isn't confirmed is my theory that that after arriving at Hueco Mundo , one short Fillers arc will begin but is really not confirmed.

I think that at the speed that goes the Animate it must have a littel fillers for not to reach the manga.

[AnimeGirlPan]

Hope there wont be even more fillers to drag out the series out too far T_T

[RyougaSaotome]

It's either this way, or the Naruto way. Aka, slow down the show so much that it's absolutely terrible.

[Alucard]

Theres just no way IMO that we can go through the whole Hueco Mundo arc without a couple of fillers....

[Escobar]

i'd rather them throw in something ala DBZ style..

'ichigo learns how to drive" or something like that..

or just take a month hiatus or something

[Weils]

New titles on ANN, that means Newtype has been updated again.

[Escobar]

wait..so is it going to be filler or is it going to just follow the manga?

[Dascu]

wait..so is it going to be filler or is it going to just follow the manga?

It appears to be still following the manga up to episode 143. It could be the fillers start a bit later.

[ForteAnly]

That's a relief at least there is no more fillers for a while. Those episodes do look very promising I hope the animation does't get crappy.

[Enth]

I would have thought that the incident being referred to as Grimmjow's revival would take place a couple of episodes before that...

It would seem like the next few episodes are only going to cover two chapters each, or a tiiiny bit more than that, which is quite a surprise to me tbh...

[Riekie]

Yaaaaaaaay finally!:D I am soooooooo glad we also get to see Grimmjow shine again:wtf just pleeeaaase Studio Pierrot...please don't fuck that scene up okay? Or else I will haunt y'all with my already sharpened pitchfork and lit torch:D

Yess...Riekie can be ebilxD

[Sarada]

Revival seems like .... a bit overexxagerated to describe him regaining his arm.

And what are they gonna present us with then during the next 2 episodes? Goofing around?

[emoloz]

Ooo 142 sounds like it could be the return of my fav characther maybe. SQUEEEEEEE!

[Rain]

emo- whos your fav character:headscratch:p:rotflmao

I'm so glad it seems the pace is slowing down a bit, these episodes had better not be rushed:cool:

[KurosakiNaruto]

You said it. These episodes are hetting dangerously close to the manga. Looking forward to these episodes, can't wait to see Grimmy tear Luppi a new one.

[Velius]

They are slowing down, but not by much that matters any. Lol. Would like to see 2 chapters per episode, but that will never happen.

[Rain]

Based on the episode titles, it seems like ep 141 will be almost all chapter 237 so that'll be less than 2 chapters vel.

[Velius]

Meh. Lots of talking to take up time in those chapters. They are execptions. XD Even with 142's title, 141 could still be 2+ chapters. Probably be at exactly 2.

[Nasura]

As much as I would like Studio Perriot to slow down a bit...I don't want to see Bleach turn into Naruto, that drags A TON. Personally I wouldn't mind one good episode every 2 weeks instead a somewhat lousy episode every week or even worse....FILLERS.

...But that's just me.

[vaizado]

Based on the episode titles, it seems like ep 141 will be almost all chapter 237 so that'll be less than 2 chapters vel.

Dont go by episode titles. Episode 126 was called "Uryuu vs. Ryuuken! Clash of the Parent-Child Quincys" and only the last five minutes were about that fight. Same applies to most of the episodes. -_-

[tari101190]

well if there is gonna be a huenco mundo filler acr then it will probably bee after chapter 240...after grimmjows 'revival'. the story may have to be altered slightly to let hitsuguya and ikkaku and yamuchika be init if they add them to the fillers...b4 they go back to the manga storyline...

Don't be too sure. Vol 29 Bleach manga showed concept arts for "Forest of Menos" filler arc. It might start sometime after ep 146. At least enjoy the canon storyline for now.

[vaizado]

Im getting a bad feeling about this. Starting the fillers right in the middle of the HW arc sounds like there might be lots of messing with the manga storyline.

[TheRedPriest]

Well, I wouldn't be averse to a short filler arc as long as Nell gets to tag along. And if they're going to do any fillers, it's got to be before they break into Los Noches. The only thing I wonder is if Renji and Rukia will show up before the filler or after.

My money would be on before.

[Rain]

Thanks for the titles Weils

Yay for more canon episodes, it does make me wonder about filler episodes though, it we are going to have any, it should be soon, so they don't interupt the story later on

[Primera Espada]

Nel shows up on halloween? Awesome.

[Velius]

I'll say it now. Quote me later. XD

Follow the manga with them meeting Nell and gang, then Rukia and Renji later, expect that situation to change. Then enter filler. My main point - No way they are going to get into Las Noches.

PE - NICE!! XD

[Syn]

@Velius: that's what I've been saying for ages now: it's the best way to put some fillers, right there.
Also, I heard they were 20 eps long, so nearly a full season. I really don't know what to think, but that was in the air, considering where the manga is and its pace.

[flower]

Crap There's no new episode this week, right?

No episodes this week, yes. Even though it's only monday still, it's ok to ask. :nuts hehe.

greato scotto!...so the fillers are back with a vengence.
i hope this forest of menos arc is good though.
i love the bleach manga, dnt like the anime as much as i should, but i also love the filler stuff such as bounto, movies, ova's etc...

[Riekie]

To be very, very honest..I kinda wonder about this 'new' filler arc! Thank goodness it actually has something to do about the manga...well, not at all but...Gah..contradictory here...not something that was completely out of the blue, the Bounto>.>

Quite curious of how that story will unfold itself and of there are pieces of canon woven into this filler storyline as well.

Because well..the more Kitten the better:D

[ForteAnly]

Those fillers are probably those character that Kubo made for Bleach TV. I remember someone posted a scan of Bleach Volume 30 that mentioned something about a Meno Grande forest along with a Shinigami with a bunch of Hollow masks. If it's kubo original content then it should be all good.

[Enth]

The only thing I'm worried about concerning this filler Arc, is that it'll take away from when they eventually get to Las Nachos...

Like...if Ichigo uses Bankai in this filler arc, it throws his "I'd planned not to use Bankai on anyone lower than Espada" line to Doldoni obsolete...Also means that the Desert Bros won't be allowed any character development despite JUST being introduced to the story XD

I am intrigued though...

[AnimeGirlPan]

at least whats good with this filler arc is a new bleach opening and ending :D

[Jhaxe]

Well, I can't say I'm looking forward to the fillers, but since it IS Kubo original...it should be okay...and I think it may be interesting...it sounds pretty good for filler....-knocks on wood-

[Velius]

Hmm. So indeed fillers soon. We all saw it coming. The fact that at least the premise and characters are made by Kubo is very interesting. I doubt he has time to come up with a whole story. Or maybe he did. *shrugs* Can't wait to see how it is handled. The title for 147 makes some gears grind in my head....

[vaizado]

And so it begins. May god have mercy on our souls. :P

[Rain]

I like fillers:eek:, as long as its an arc and just a group of random episodes. Even though it may not be considered canon i hope we get extra info on hollows and menos

Velius- I bet Kubo did said like "write a story arc about hollows and menos" and that was the limit of his involvement :rofl

147. The Forest of Menos! The Search for the Missing Rukia

I don't get it.. is ep 147 a filler ep?..and it's about rukia..how can that be possible because rukia will be the one who finds ichigo in hm arc (canon stuff)..or maybe they mean after their meeting.. rukia will be separated from them…if that so..then I'm looking forward to it since it's about rukia :p

[Velius]

More then likely the conditions in which Rukia is brought back into the story will be changed, similar to all the shinigami in the bount arc. It was inevitable seeing how they jump right into fillers at that spot.

noooooo they cannot skip or change the "Aren't we your nakama Ichigo?" part.. One of my fav scenes T.T

and even if they're KT original, efen if they're used for not catching manga, fillers allways suck! Needless to say, the animation and drawings quality get worse and worse in fillers! But well... It can't be helped, eh? If we love Bleach, we'll endure its thorns XD We should love it in everyway XD LoL

edit: They can skip the part of Ichigo beating GJ in later episodes T_T I love GJ more T_T and I still want the bad side to win *.*

[HaNa]

I hope not.. coz their reunion is so important to the manga plot..the nakama speech and byakuya's approval to let rukia and renji go to hm.. they can start the filler story immediately after finishing these scenes..by interrupting them of something causes rukia to be gone missing before going to the main building (forget its name >_>)

[Kurai YoruNeko]

Yep HaNa, definitely a filler, most likely after Renji, Rukia, Nell & Co. show up T__T *cries river of pain* But thank GOD Kubo actually had some input in these ones it seems. That'll take away at least some of the fillerizing agony....As long as it's not 20-some episodes, like Syn heard (?!?!? o.o)
And at least we're getting a new theme (by AKFG, yay) & ending, despite having to wait 2 weeks more than expected (supposed to air w/ 143 last week, & now no eppy this week...) >.<
Menos Forest, eh?--maybe they mean like a big colony of Menos, cuz there's definitely no foliage anywhere in Hueco Mundo (if you don't count the assorted dead tree or bush) XDD

EDIT: oops, replied a little too late ^^;

[HaNa]

Why I'm the only one who is so excited about fillers now?? and 20 ep woow

I think because we can have chance to see the whole group fighting together which's the thing we're missing in the recent events ^__^ (hope to see lots of great actions staff)

I don't see the quality of the fillers is that bad..i enjoyed many of them really and the upcoming fillers seem to have some connection to kubo's plan (his sketches) which's a great think… hopefully we won't be disappointed this time ^ ^

[flower]

*Sigh* Fillers soon, huh. Ah, well. Maybe we will have some good Arrancar action? I hope?

[Frostman]

Im a little optimistic about this, it should be fun to see something original for change. Knowing whats going to happened ruins the suspense. Im so going to eat these words later.

But then again by the time we get back to the cannon, the pace and quality should be top notch. So far they've been messing up cannon episodes by mixing filler into it. And HM the only room for mixing filler with cannon is by extended fights.

[TheRedPriest]

OR a random switch to another fablous Don Kononji tale! BWA HA HA HA HA!!!

*cries*

I'm not looking forward to the fillers at all, but I understand why they make them instead of just releasing Bleach every two weeks. I'll probably not watch unless I hear that Ulqui is in any of them.

[cool_inuyasha_g]

Hopefully its just one filler episode (Like how 33 was in the Soul Society Arc) if they put to many fillers in the Huendo arc. they could ruin it, by making Espada do things they have no need to do and make them look weak (Like how Ulquiorra died last time, LAME) or as someone said earlier making Ichigo go bankai or interfering with Nell's character. If they are going to put fillers in the story, they should at least revolve around soul society and not Huendo crew. Futhermore wasn't it Rukia's idea to split up at the intersection anyway? So they're going to lose Rukia, find her and then split up again? Thats just stupid.

If Rukia does get split up from the crew here, I doubt they would have her meet up with them only to get lost again; I 'm guessing that the end of this filler arc would segue right into her encounter with Aaroniero. Yes, I know they would have to alter the storyline a bit for that, but that's how we got into the current canon episodes.

have ppl seen this...
Due to complexity of the new series and also due to schedule conflict with Bleach, Dattebayo regrettably announces that Genshiken will replace Bleach on our anime lineup.
http://dattebayo.com/pr/48

do other groups still sub bleach? how often do the release then? i'm not too bothered about it...but its just kinda like then end of an era...unless itssome sort of joke.

Most likely its a joke.

Wouldnt be surprised as DB has done it before.

[Velius]

Indeed. It's DB, so it is assumed as a joke. Even if it was real, other subbers would jump in and take the spot without hesitation. The only reason any one else really isn't subbing Bleach, is that DB has the seeder monopoly on Bleach and Naruto, so it would be a waste of effort to go through the process of subbing. So it wouldn't be any lose even if DB stopped.

[yanniv]

It'd be a blessing if DB dropped Bleach.

[flower]

:eek:

Hmmm, is it a joke or not? I don't see the YHBT giveaway in the message, but that doesn't mean it's not a joke. Hmmm.

[Ros]

It's a joke. They do this just to watch people freak out. XD
They've "dropped" Naruto over 9000 times at least.

[taicho]

yeah but its quite repetitive and not funny anymore especially when there is no yhbt sign. I really appreciate their work and they are doing a great job but they should stop with that silly jokes. But anyway as long as they dont drop it really its okay i guess :D

[ForteAnly]

It'd be a blessing if DB dropped Bleach.

My thoughts exactly.
