Kubo referencing from the book of revelations?

Nn0itra Jiruga — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:32:47 GMT

Quote from a user named Black Mask. I saw a thread about this on Naruto forums and it got me thinking.

Quote:

Going by the anti-crist theme that Aizen has been playing on so far I guess he is really finished.

The prophecy says that the beast will try to impersonate god through miracles (hogyoku magic) and assume a form which resembles that of god (Seraph butterfly).

However once the real saviour shows up displaying power that the beast cannot cope with it will assume it's true form that is of a SEVEN HEADED DRAGON before being defeated and cast into the abyss of oblivion.

The prophecy also said that the beast would get mortally wounded but heal and survive (which was what happened when Gin stabbed Aizen).

So far we saw the Fake Prophet (Tosen) who would come and spread the greatness of the Fake Messiah (Aizen) who sought to attain the throne of god through the use of illusions (Kyoka Suigetsu) and corrupt evil magic (Hogyoku) that he sold as miracles.

However there is one last part of the prophecy which has yet to come into play...

Behind the Fake Prophet and the Fake Messiah was the Demon Lord who completed the unholy trinity and was by far much stronger than the other two.

This means that behind Aizen was someone far more powerful who taught him how to deceive others and seek forbidden powers to dethrone the Soul King.

It seems that this actually adds up. The similarities between that everything that's been unfolding in Bleach is quite uncanny and may not be coincidental.

Ashido in manga?

EspadavsSaligia — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 22:19:28 GMT

As fans of Bleach know the character of Ashido Kano was taken out of the manga due to timing by Kubo but put in the anime. As a result a lot of fans say that the character is a filler and non-canon. I can understand why they say that but if he is a filler why isnt he dead? I feel there's more to this character in the series then just stuck in the Forest and never heard from again.
Also it's been stated that Kubo helped the anime staff in making the scenes of the forest and Ashido. If that's the case then, my guess is that Ashido fighting Menos and Adjuchas without revealing his Shikai or Bankai was what Kubo had planned in the manga as well.
And let's not forget if Kubo had enough time the character would be in the manga already. Also people who watch the anime and not the manga may wonder where he is. I don't care if it's the manga or the anime he needs to be brought back!

Heya!

What does "trolling" mean?

nickgp1 — Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:13:06 GMT

I know this is going to sound stupid lol... but I see people on the forum complaining about Tite Kubo constantly "trolling" and I'm curious to know what exactly this term refers to.

I can tell that it obviously has a negative connotation and always seems to come up in reference to a predictable plot "twist," but I was still wondering if I could get some clarification lol.

Make a Manga!

Emerald Knight — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 23:51:44 GMT

This is just some random fun!
The rules are simple, come up with a manga premise, elaborate if you want to! I'll start it off.

Title: One X 4k
Genre: Harem, action, drama, comedy, Sci-fi
Description: The year is 3XXX, Goverments are more corrupt and deplorable than ever! Nobunaga Hiroto a waste of a man, wins a lottery! What does he do with it why purchase a grown private army! Four thousand female clones! What does he do with this army? Why take over the world! Starting with Europe! The romance of a man and his army begins!

Setup:
First arc: How to grow an Army!
Second arc: How to equip an Army!
Third arc: How to train an Army!

Beginning
Fourth arc: How to overthrow your Government!
Fifth arc: How to overthrow their Government!

Progression
Sixth arc: How to gain a foothold!
(and so on and so forth)...

Basically a combo of battle, slice of life, harem and lots of gags :nuts. Que hijinks with female clones gaining a sense of identity through Hiroto's actions. Hilarious with hidden sobriety, sombre themes being the horrors of war, the failings of government and the identity of self!

Hiroto would realise half-way through his war against the world that he shouldn't have gone to war, he then is told (they beat him up) by his clones that if he stops those deaths will have been pointless and if he continues come good can come in spite of his mistakes. So he proceeds to take over the world to try make things better!

There that's one that came to me!

Science

vornander999 — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 20:43:45 GMT

I have made this thread to discuss how science sets itself apart from other fields of research and academia in addition to outlining some of its fundamental principles. I think there are quite a few scientists and engineers on BA and I would really appreciate their input and opinions if possible.:amuse

I think science’s uniqueness is derived from the virtues laid out in textbooks of standard scientific methodology: testability, repeatability, independence of cultural milieu, evidential support, intersubjectivity, precision, universality, quantifiability, consistency, progressiveness, etc. If a theory fails to fulfil even one of the above criteria it is subjected to immediate alteration, or is jettisoned completely. The following short video shows a Nobel Prize winning scientist giving a concise summarization of the scientific method.

I am not particularly keen to instigate a debate regarding the epistemological nature of truth, but I am fairly certain that the above method of investigating nature cannot prove anything to be absolutely true, in the sense that mathematics might appear to do (proofs, imo, belong in the realm of mathematics, where things can be proven provided that you state the axioms). However, what the above method does do extremely well is to prove things to be false. Namely, any proposed explanation that disagrees with the result of experiment is false. Period. This falsification of incorrect descriptions of nature is the driving force of scientific progress.

The objectivity of science exists because explanations are always compared to nature, hence, scientists are (usually:rolleyes:) forcibly disabused of any personal incredulity they may have if sufficient evidence is provided. Ideas of how nature should work can be utterly annihilated by experiment (see the ‘The Feynman Double Slit Experiment with Electrons’>link<). I think the following quote, taken from the video below, articulates this point nicely.

Quote:

If it turns out it's like an onion with millions of layers... then that's the way it is. But either way there's Nature and she's going to come out the way She is. So therefore when we go to investigate we shouldn't predecide what it is we're looking for only to find out more about it.

A further snippet of wisdom that can be taken from the above interview is quoted below.

Quote:

Originally Posted by Richard Feynman

This excerpt beautifully summarises the scientific mindset; uncertainty, scepticism and an open minded approach to evidence are all necessitated by the scientific method. This culture of rigorous doubt and questioning inevitably leads to areas of disagreement within science; however, unlike many other fields of academia, scientific disputes are settled by carrying out more fundamental research and by carefully re-examining current evidence. New papers are subjected to stringent peer review and meticulously criticised, in order to survive this process, conclusions need to be supported by enormous bodies of consistent, precise, intersubjective and objective bodies of evidence.

EDIT: The basic point of this thread is to discuss your thoughts with regard to the nature of science; why and how does it work? Does it have limitations? Is it evil? etc.

Mapping Karakura Town?

Shinrin — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 15:26:51 GMT

I know this may look llike an insanity

But i'm honestly starting to believe that if we're willing to try we could make a reasonable map of it for others to use to better understand locations

We have the diameter of Karakura ~ 7,8 km

We got the shape of Karakura in the databook

We got the location of Karakura in Japan in the databook

WE got the location of several important locations in Karakura

Parks, Hospitals, Schools etc

WE know the appearance of several of these buildings

We do however have the doubt for now if Kubo may have avoidede these pinpoint buildings in the backgrounds so that we mayu not know/he risking contradictions

So anyone up for joining this quest?

Hey, me homies.

What is the significance of the seaweed ambassador?

Ceria Halcyon — Wed, 08 Sep 2010 03:46:01 GMT

What is the significance of the seaweed ambassador? and why does it appear in bleach as comic relief? what about it makes it funny when used in the context of bleach or byakuya?

*as a resident of the western world i really have no idea what the ambassador is, and struggle to understand why people find it funny.

COMING SOON
By the Awesome EspadaDina

The rules:
*If you do not like a pairing DO NOT post in that pairing FC. If you read the fanclub and want to discuss something that was said then sort it out via PM or elsewhere, do NOT go into that fanclub and start a war. Anyone posting in a pairing fanclub that isn't a fan will almost automatically receive a ban.

*You can discuss other pairings but when others discuss your pairing negatively and you don't like it sort it out through pm, if you break the above rule to start a flame war it's an instant ban.

*Neg reps to rival pairing fc posts over such things won't be tolerated. I consider this being in an FC of a pairing you don't like therefore breaking a rule.

*I'd suggest just totally not reading the fc of the pairing you don't like but I know that is never gonna happen. You all wanna be able to talk about other pairings so much well fine but just be prepared for others to do it about your favourite pairing also. These rules were changed as per YOUR wishes so don't come complaining to me when you decide you don't like the change.

*At this point in time any pairing/ship/ship wars issues will be dealt with by: spacecat. So please contact spacecat if there is a problem and not another mod.

Etiquette of the FC:
> Do not bash other pairings or characters or fans. Disagreement with what people say is fine. Senseless bashing is not.
> Try not to spam with one-liners.
> Rep or use profile messages when you want to specifically respond to one person about matters not related to the FC.
