Kita ze Inbou! - キタぜ陰謀!

The storm is over and morning has come!

This chapter was great. The amazing color pages aside, the damn level 4 Akuma is dead. I really hated that thing so I’m glad it’s finally gone. We’re pretty much shown the aftermath and that everyone is pretty much okay…except for a few. Miranda is fine, Tiedoll is as well, and others such as Reever and Bak are a little banged up but otherwise will live. Allen seems to be pretty weakened if his appearance in this chapter is any indication. He didn’t even know that Lenalee had already gone up to the others when he was talking. Speaking of Lenalee, her Innocence is still a bit of a mystery since it’s difficult to tell whether it is really a full parasite-type. Cross is actually speaking with Malcom about putting their differences aside for now. That was surprising but I have a feeling Cross is only playing him so that he can rearrange his cards.

It was pretty surprising seeing Byakuya at such a young age. He turned out to be totally different than he was in the past. Still, it was pretty funny seeing him get so pissed so easily because of Yoruichi. Moving along, Urahara’s plans can be classified as insane but I think this chapter suggests a little that he was planning to pass along his Captain’s seat after completing whatever it is he had to (most likely the creation of ‘that’, eh?). I don’t know what to say about Gin though. I never really liked the guy and he looked like a total runt in this chapter. Something about him is just evil and although I’ve yet to see him fight seriously, I hope whoever fights him in the war owns him up nicely.

FAIRY TAIL 83

It’s good to see that at least one of Erza’s old friends isn’t a total dumbass. Shimon had been playing long with Gerard’s plans all along and was the only one who believed in Erza since the beginning. People like that are always good to have close by as a friend. I’m curious about the beginning of the chapter where Seig says “We only need one more” and then Gerard says “One more, eh?” (those are paraphrases by the way). Does Gerard have some sort of link to Seig or was that just a coincidence? Natsu and Worly are going to fight since I don’t think Erza and the others are going to make it in time for them to stop it from happening. I’m just wondering how he’s going to pull it off with that cat head on his shoulders lol.

One Piece 497

This chapter is a prime example as to why I love One Piece! We get to see more of the dancing bubble island which I just find to be totally breathtaking. This is one of the best locations I’ve ever seen in One Piece and I must applaud Oda for his awesome imagination. The main deal here is that we finally get to see the Tenryuubito. I had wondered why they were so important and it so happens to be that they are descendants of the creators of the World Government. As expected they are repulsive in behavior and the treatment of others and seem to remove themselves as being “human” to some other higher life-form. The funny thing about them is that they wear masks/bubbles on their heads to avoid breathing the same air as common people. My question is: Will there be anyone that is likable from the Tenryuubito? Chances are we’ll be introduced to someone who isn’t a total arrogant prick but that remains to be seen for now. Right now though, I want to see what Luffy and the others will do if (or rather when) they encounter those or other Tenryuubito in future chapters.
