Naruto Manga Chapter 410. Battle at Unraikyo

Chapter 410 begins with 2 colored pages!! It begins with Sasuke, Jugo, Karin, and Suigetsu meeting up with the host of the eight-tailed beast, which is a cool looking dude!!


If this isn't the best Naruto picture!! Then what is??



Suigetsu attacks the man, and does nothing, the man stops his blade. Jugo tells Suigetsu to get out of the way.



In order for Naruto to learn how to control the nature chakra, he has to die! No, wrong he has to be able to feel the energy, and take it in. To learn this he has to stop moving, when he stops moving he can harmonize with nature. Naruto finds this easy, but he is told that for an animal, being static is hard to do. Naruto then adds that they don't have a lot of time, so they show him some frog oil.



This secret frog oil helps, by bringing the nature's chakra to naruto, a big big help! But this has a bad side to it. too.



If one cannot learn to control the nature he will be turned into a frog. Naruto must balance all of his chakra, the natural, spiritual, and physical. If there is too little chakra he will not get any nature chakra, if there is too much he will turn into a frog.


They show all of the people that tried but failed, and were turned into frogs. Even Jiraiya couldn't get it right.

Jugo couldn't do anything to him either, and the eight-tailed host warns them he has chakra to spare, and he will humiliate them all.

the frog asks Naruto what is he going to do, and Naruto replies he will do just what Jiraiya did.

After Jugo's failure it is up to Sasuke to bring this man down!
END
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>It was a good chapter, explained a lot and I kinda like this eight-tailed beast host dude!!!

Bleach Manga 319. Ants and Dragons

This weeks Bleach Chapter is titled "Ants and Dragons". The chapter does not go straight into Ichigo's fight, it begins with the Lieutenants, ready to begin their fight against Barragan's fraccion.


Ikkaku, Yumichika, Shuhei, and Kira have just killed a few hollows.

Soi Fon's pathetic Lieutenant had no idea that these four men would even be present. He figured he was the best out of all of them.

We get a very rare scene, Soi Fon not being all serious!! She tells her Lieutenant that she told him, if only he could have heard while eating. Then she goes on to say, that she wasn't sure she even told him!!!


Barragan isn't worried, he tells them if they posted ants he will send dragons to crush them, which would be very hard to do so. Dragons are BIG! While ants would be microscopic to them, making it hard for them to even see them... That is not the point!!! It seems that Barragan is the 1st Espada, either that or he's a grumpy old man, much like the grandpa's in the real world.


So the four fraccion have names, Po, Cool Horn, Abirama, and Findor. Po seems to be the largest of them faces Ikkaku.

Ikkaku starts a conversation with Po, as he hopes that he isn't just big. Po then mentions that what god does he pray to? Ikkaku doesn't care, saying to his god, Po doesn't seem to care either.

Shuhei faces Findor, the fraccion dude with a mask. He asks Shuhei what position he is, he replies, Findor then tells him that he will lower his power to that of his level.

Yumichika is going to fight himself!! Nah!! Just a fraccion with a strong feminine side, just like him, but looks more like a tranny than gay, his name is Charlotte Cool Horn?!!!
Yumichika turns his back, and closes his eyes, and Cool Horn slaps him because he called him ugly. Yumichika reacts, and asks why he got slapped?


Cool Horn and Yumichika waste no time, and begin to clash.



Kira refuses to copy his teammates, and remains silent, the arrancar Abirama screams and tells that it is a battle cry, of some sort. But Kira wants no part of it. Abirama then tells him his name, Kira tells him his rank and division. Abirama speaks of Ichimaru Gin, and says that Kira was his second in command, and it was no wonder he left, since he was coward. Kira's attitude changes, as he cuts Abirama's cheek, and states that not to say that name. END!!!
>>>>>>This chapter felt like a waste, it was a stupid chapter, with nothing going on.
I hope the next few chapters are not as boring as this one.

The Dark Knight

Long before the hype of Heath's Ledger's performance, long before anyone mentioned that his role as the psychotic and anarchic clown, the Joker could earn him a much deserved Oscar, there was a blogger named David (me) that mentioned that his role as the Joker in the new Batman movie could and should earn him an Oscar. So, now what? It is Monday,"Dark Knight" came out Friday, and I watched the movie Saturday. And I feel pleased with it, I feel fine for spending $10 on the ticket, after waiting in line for 20 minutes. The movie was exactly like everyone wanted it to be, amazing! Christian Bale once again proved to be the best Bruce Wayne/Batman. Gary Oldman was terrific, Aaron Eckhart as Harvey Dent/Two-Face was also a great asset. But the movie people came to watch centered around the villain, the Joker! Heath Ledger's performance was perfect, from the licking of the lips, to his psychotic burst of joy, and of course his scary-good maniacal laugh, if you think about it, the "Dark Knight" was the "Joker". It was good acting times a thousand. I was relieved that his performance wasn't just good in the trailers, but it was good throughout the movie. I could highlight a few scenes, or the scenes that immediately come to mind, but I had to highlight the entire movie, as one long amazing scene! The bank heist was funny, well though out, and great. The joker was sarcastic at times, and scary many times, and downright evil most of the times. Batman once again kicked major butt, but one particular scene definitely stands out!!

The interrogation scene!! If you can call Batman beating the laughing crap out of a worry-free Joker. It was one of the best scenes, it was exiting to watch, and I'm positive the people were waiting for that scene to happen. I was amazed while I watched the scene, it was terrific. We get to see why the joker is a crazy bastard, and I was also surprised that he could take such a beating, and still find time to laugh about it! Why so serious??
Harvey Dent was excellent, I enjoyed watching Eckhart bring the character to life. As Harvey Dent he was good, but as Two-Face, I think he deserved more screen time. I heard people argue that the movie was too long, but I was arguing that it too short! Two-Face didn't get too many scenes, and he had become such and interesting villain to just let him die, while he was beginning to heat up! Maggie Gyllenhaal took the role that Katie Holmes could not complete, it was sort of a downer when I heard she could not reprise her role, then I saw how close Maggie resembles Katie so it was o.k. Her performance was good, it was just like Katie's good, just a solid performance, nothing wrong to say about it. Gary Oldman is always a good actor, even in shitty movies, he will bring talent to it. As James Gordon he was excellent, I always liked Oldman's acting, as the Count, as Harry's godfather Sirius Black, and as Lieutenant James Gordon he was also great. Overall, the film will bring the thrill of a crime-drama, the excitement of an action movie, and the wackiness of a clown is the best way to bring the film to perfection! "Dark Knight" best film of 2008 and best film I've seen so far in the 21st Century.

Bleach Spoilers/ Chapter 318 "Title is still unknown"

These are some light spoilers for the upcoming Bleach manga 318. The title is still not known. Ichigo arrives, and Ulquiorra draws his sword!!! That is a big spoiler! For Ulquiorra to draw his sword must mean he plans to kill him, or means that he felt Ichigo's true reitsu, maybe it has been getting strong all this time. Who knows, unfortunately it switches back to Karakura town, Barragan orders his fraccion to knock down four pillars, that according to him if they destroy the real Karakura town will be brought back to place. As the fraccion leave, they encounter Shuhei, Yumichika, Ikkaku, and some other Lieutenants I think!! So now we have three fights that are about to start. Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra, The Espada vs. the Captains, and The fraccion vs. the lieutenants. Seems like no more talk, this is getting good!!! Barrangan is calling the shots, maybe he's the 1 Espada?

Code Geass R2 episode 13

It has been a good while since I did a Code Geass episode, so here is episode 13.
Last time on episode 12, Jeremiah Gottwald made a comeback, along with his funky "Geass-canceler". He managed to cancel the effects of Shirley's blocked memories, blocked by Lelouch a long time ago. She now knows that Lulu is Zero, and that he killed her dad. She knows that Villeta is not a real teacher, and knows a lot about her friends. She begins to question whether all of her friends are fake, or what is fake about them. She begins to trip out, running around the school, watching students wear some white masks and fall.

a bit weird, I think...
She meets up with Suzaku, but at the first sigh, she runs away, only to be stopped by Suzaku, wearing his stupid shades!!

Jeremiah invades the school, and he is met by Sayoko, and apparently she is a leaf ninja!!(joking).


and apparently all ninja use the kunai, no exceptions!!

Rolo shows up, and uses his geass, but Jeremiah cancels it, and brings rolo down to the ground, and they... Rolo would love that to happen, wouldn't he, that damn homo!
He grabs Rolo, until Villeta shows up, and Jeremiah sees her. Villeta tells him where Lelouch went off to, and Jeremiah leaves. Shirley doesn't know if she should tell Suzaku about Lulu, and she is so messed up that she climbs up to the ledge of the building and falls, only to be saved by Lulu, and lulu is saved by Suzaku, she tries to let go of lulu but he doesn't budge, and they all survive!


Cornellia is speaking to someone geass-related, when suddenly V.V comes in, and immediately Cornellia throws and strikes V.V with a knife, right in the forehead!!But V.V is unharmed, and yeah there is a lot of blood spilling from his wound.


Lelouch gets a call from Rolo, and he tells him that Jeremiah is coming to kill him, so he decides to leave, but he doesn't know how? Finally he tells them that Shirley wanted to see Suzaku and not Lelouch, and he bones out! Shirley tells Suzaku that she loves Lelouch, and tells him if he hates him, and Suzaku tells her that he liked him until he did something that is unforgivable. Shirley then says that nothing is unforgivable and says that is only him that doesn't want to forgive, Shirley says that she forgave Lulu a long time ago.
The conversation ends with an explosion, and Suzaku leaves, leaving Shirley with the police, but she escapes,and heads off to find Lulu. Lelouch activates some "Gefjun Disturbers" immobilizes Jeremiah, since he is made up of Sakuradite. He begins to bleed, while Lelouch tells him that he is Lelouch Vi Britannia. Jeremiah then tells him that he was there, the day Marianne died, and he had failed to protect her, and that his loyalty lies with Marianne not with V.V. Lelouch goes after him, once he falls, and tells him that his loyalty is not over, and Jeremiah nods a yeah!

Shirley picked up a gun and went into a building, and she meets Rolo. She tells him if he likes Lelouch, and Rolo being Rolo says yeah, and Shirley adds that she likes him likes him!! And that she wants to bring his happiness back, and bring Nunnally back as well. Rolo is pissed, he uses his geass, and the scene is cut.


later on Lelouch sends Jeremiah off, and as he goes up some stairs he looks into a building covered in fog, or smoke, and notices a body. He then notices it is none other than Shirley!!!

I hated Rolo before, but now I want nothing more than an entire episode of someone killing Rolo, slow and painfully! That bastard killed Lelouch's only love, and he has to pay for that!! What a bastard!!
>>>Lelouch sits by her side, and she opens her eyes, she tells him that she loves him, and even after she regained her memories she fell in love again, even knowing he killed her dad she loves, knowing all this she loves him!! Lelouch is about to call the medics, but is stopped by Shirley, she tells him that it is destiny that she fell in love with him, and she will be reborn and still fall in love with him!! Lelouch uses his geass to prevent her death, but it does not work, he uses it two more times, and it does not work.


Finally she speaks her last words, and he hand falls into the blood. Lelouch screams out her name, and again screams out, but she is officially dead. Lelouch begins to cry, and lets out a painful, and harrowing scream of pain!!


This is by far the saddest episode, even sadder than Euphemia's death!! Shirley was at the wrong place, at the wrong time, poor girl. I wonder what will Lelouch do, will he suspect of Rolo, and how will Rolo face him?
Oh yeah, this episode features the new opening and ending,
the opening is "World End" by FLOW
and ending is "Waga Routashi Aku no Hana" by ALI PROJECT.
FLOW and ALI PROJECT also had their music featured on the first season of Code Geass.

This is "World End"

This is the new ending
