<<<< *is ded* Please leave a message after the beeeep!

Seriously, though. I am extremely torn by how to feel about this chapter. Jyuuuu-kuuun! *CLINGS* Bad Wonderweiss, BAD! SHUNSUUUI! Someone over at BA was like, "Aww, they went down together!" Me: *WIBBLES*

On the other hand... I am simply thrilled about everything else that went on this chapter. I know there are people on my flist who wont be, because I have a lot of Hitsugaya and Soifon fans, and I am one too. But... I've been calling that they weren't dead yet. XD So I feel vindicated.

I've also been calling that Aizen was only staying in his fire prison because he wanted to/was waiting. It's going to get freaking intense now, that Aizen and the other two are out. And omg the VIZARDS ARE FINALLY HERE. *dances* I adore the Vizards so much. <33 This is going to be so awesome. And I can not WAIT for the next chapter... the reactions of the Shinigami... *____* I want a Lisa & Shunsui reunion so bad I can almost taste it. Agggghhhh.

Also, I am kind of excited that Komamura may be fighting now. XD I like him. I'm betting he'll go fight Tousen, ehh? Though like some people have pointed out, Kensei will also be involved in that, I'm sure. I'm wondering if the Shinji vs. Aizen fight is going to happen... in some ways that would be awesome, meaningful fights ftw... on the other hand, Shinji would have to lose that one, and I don't like that. Plus, what's Yama going to do, sit there and watch? Hrmm...

Anyway, though I did pretty much have a heart attack for 15 minutes after I read the spoilers, I'm still not overly concerned for Ukitake and Shunsui. This is their first injuries in the fight... their bankais have been hyped and we haven't seen them yet. They're definitely not dead, and I doubt that they'll be out for a while. And I don't think that what happens means that Stark always could have beaten Shunsui or that WW totally pwns Ukitake... both of them were taken by surprise. But I guess we'll see. ^_^;; I am wondering, though, what they're going to do. The Vizards are here now, are they going to fight alongside the Vizards? If so, who would they fight? If not though, they're not the type to just stand there... then I'd be more concerned for them. D: But maybe that would mean we'd see their bankai's later?

Ehh, ignore me, I'm babbling.

... I really really want to see the panel where Shunsui tries to go help Ukitake. I am crossing my fingers so hard for an "Omg Ukitake!" concerned look. <333

My first reaction would also have been a scream of shock and horror . . .

. . . well, you know, if I hadn't been at work and somewhat-improperly-browsing in between doing bits of coding.

I am sure they (Ukitake and Kyouraku, that is) aren't dead, but all the same, meep. MEEP.

And I am not at all surprised that Barragan and Harribel are not remotely down and are about to make their Comeback.

And speaking of the Vizards, it could also be quite painful if Lisa is currently holding a grudge against Shunsui. After all, he let her go out there and get turned into a Vizard. And he didn't then save her. (I'm not saying it would be a sensible grudge, but since when are grudges sensible?)

[misumisu84.livejournal.com]

I'm agreeing on the Shunsui and Lisa thing. It could be really nasty.

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

The potential is definitely there. =/ Should be interesting...

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

I really did drop what I was snacking on in horror. XD I can't imagine how it would've been at work, though I wouldn't have been able to stop myself from peeking too. XD

Exactly... They can't be dead yet, at least but still... it sounded like it may be a pretty decent wound. I mean, they both fell. *whimpers* I guess we'll have to see when the scans come out, but...

I was pretty confident at first that they weren't dead- or at very least, Baragan wasn't- but as time went by and we seemed to be totally moving on to Starrk's fight, I began to doubt... so I feel vindicated that I was correct originally. XD

Oh yes, I've definitely considered that. Lisa doesn't seem the type, but... turning into a Vizard is a pretty traumatic experience anyway, and they did kick them out of Seireitei. I think whether the grudge would be remotely sensible or not would depend on what the Shinigami knew. It was never really made clear... does Shunsui (and Jyuu) know that they were turned into Vizards, or does everyone just think they're dead?
I'm not saying that I think it'll necessarily be a happy reunion, but it'll be an interesting one. It probably won't be as dramatic as I'm imagine though, given that it's a shounen manga. XD But I guess we'll see.

[incandescens]

As you say, it may depend on what the Vizards know. Which means it might come down to who was passing on information (Urahara is the plausible candidate here) and what sort of information he passed on. For all we know, he's been telling the Vizards that the whole of Soul Society wants them dead, all the other Captains signed their death warrants, etc.

I have a strong suspicion that (Vizards + Urahara) may be a faction all on its own with their own eye on the top of the pile, and that those people who expect them to unhesitatingly save Soul Society and the Gotei 13 . . . might be wrong.

[misumisu84.livejournal.com]

These spoilers scare me.

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

*wibbles*

[iamlolweasel.livejournal.com]

I'm crying in the inside out of both happiness and horror.

Something is nagging at me that the Vizard aren't going to be supporting the Shinigami. Either way, i'm so glad they finally arrived!

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

EXACTLY. ME TOO.

I don't think they'll be supporting the Shinigami, either, though I don't think they'll be against them, per se. They're on their own side. I do think they'll fight Aizen, though. They'll just probably be all "Yo, you Shinigami are idiots! You lost! Nyah!" But I guess we'll see. xD It might be complicated especially with say Lisa and Shunsui, and the other people who knew them.

[wet.livejournal.com]

I am sorry. I am really worried about some of them. I really am, but it needs to be done:

SUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK IT, SHINIGAMI

[iamlolweasel.livejournal.com]

I AGREE WITH THIS SO HARD LOL.

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

...XD
I knew you'd be thrilled. YouAizen is in the next chapter!

[samusa.livejournal.com]

arrrrgh so much going on in the new chapter...it's like...SOMETHING IS REALLY HAPPENING XDDDDDDD
Yes, I am worried D: ....

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

I was actually thinking of you when I mentioned the bit about Hitsu fans. XD Though I think he'll be okay, and his role may not be over, as his opponent wasn't defeated. But I guess we'll seee~

But yes, I understand the SOMETHING IS HAPPENING OMG feeling. XD The Vizard are finally here! *_*

[muhi-kira.livejournal.com]

kkkyyyyyyyaaaaaaaa
At Last Vizardssss!!!!
next chapter will be interesting!

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

No kidding! I can not wait to see everyone's reactions!

[zoelyn.livejournal.com]

I agree with all of your ideas/opinions/whatever. :D
First i was shocked when i read WW stabs Jyuushiro in the back, because WTF, and then Stark shoot Shunsui, that was fast. D: Partly i feel bad about it, mostly because of Stark's comment, it feels like they were just playing with those two, and it's not fair, because both Shun and Jyuu are strong, gaaah. *shuts up* But i agree they aren't dead just passed out, we still haven't seen their bankais!

Everything else is just awesomelyawesome. Vizards? Aizen and his mates are free? EPIC. I definitely want to see Lisa-Shunsui reunion as well! Same goes for Kensei-Shuuhei.

Can't wait to see the pictures. *.*

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it sounds like we totally agree. :D <3

Well... I don't think Jyuu and Shun were totally serious, either. Even Jyuu was being lighthearted last chapter. Shunsui was definitely very distracted by his best buddy going down, leaving him open... and I rather suspect that WW took Jyuu by surprise too, but we won't know until the scans come out. Besides, I'm in the WW is a Vasto Lorde camp. But anyway. I think it was just a temporary setback for them. Neither of them were even remotely injured before. They haven't shown their bankais, and we haven't even really seen Shunsui's shikai yet. So... I think they'll be coming back later. If not in this battle, later on at some point.

And yuuuus! Everything else was fantabulous! I <3 the Vizards. And Aizen being free is going to be epic and awesome! I suspect we'll see some insane fights soon! And all the reunions/reactions to the Vizards! *__*

ME NEITHER. Is it Friday yet?

THIS REQUIRES CAPSLOCK

[nendo-chan.livejournal.com]

VIZARDS! NOT-DEAD ARANCAR! THE RETURN OF AIZEN! YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Re: THIS REQUIRES CAPSLOCK

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!

[vraieesprit.livejournal.com]

Im...angry. Actually, Im very angry to the point that I need to calm down a looot before I read the chapter.

Reason...?

I don't really worry for their safety.

But.

We waited HOW long to see them fight?
And now he's going to rush them by and give others the spotlight...again?

How long did we see Soi Fon and Hitsu for?

And Juu and Shun are done with already?

Sure, he may bring them in later but even so.

I think he wants them out of the way so the Vaizard can take over the fight, Kira can face Gin, yada yada. Once more they're not the centre of the plot.

So...until I calm down from that...

Seriously...meh

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

*clings* Vraaaie! I was so sad you weren't on earlier when I was able to get on IM. D: I wanted to rant to/with you about the spoilers. *wibbles*

I understand. *sighs* I keep telling myself they'll come in later to comfort myself. I mean, Shunsui's bankai, at very least, has been hyped up... Kubo can't just have that on the side, can he? This is why I'm actually hoping that they don't fight with the Vizards... This can't be the final battle, Ichigo is still in HM, and I'm afraid the Vizards would overshadow Jyuu and Shun. =/ Idk...

[ghostgum]

I want a Lisa & Shunsui reunion so bad I can almost taste it. Agggghhhh.
OMG you and me both! But then I've just been hugely looking forwards to the Vizard turning up, heee! :D

[ravens-rising.livejournal.com]

Oh, me too! I love the Vizard! :D I just didn't expect them so soon *dance*.

[muha.livejournal.com]

I... want a Lisa and Nanao reunion. Where is Nanao? D: Although it's probably safer not to be around!

I figured aunt shark and lich king weren't dead... it's ice, it won't hurt her that much and in his case, we never saw him get hit.

BUT HOORAY I WANT TO SEE SHINJI!!

Also, Shun and Ukie are okay, right? Because they are destined for that OT3 etc, and maybe they can raise Wonderweiss too, I think it would be good for Lilinette to have a brother.

But Aizen was wrong then (shock), he said it would be over without having to lift a finger himself. But I am really scared now.
