Newest Manga Chapters!!! *Spoilers*

[DarkDestiny]

Chapter 239: Finally!!! Ishida is back!!!! And the three guys are back together again (I love Urahara). I can't wait to see what new moves Ishida and Chad have in store since we haven't seen them for a while. And it looks as though Tatsuki may become a factor as well. I hope the next chapter has some good developments.

[Lord Timaeus]

Well, certainly the latest chapter is a step up from 236-238, but not by much. We could have had some interesting developments regarding the vizards, Urahara, or even Tatsuki's supposed power; yet Kubo Tite decided to pull another Soul Society arc from where the son doesn't shine. Plus I'm not exactly a big Orihime fan, so I would hope Tite knows where he's going with her kidnapping.

[DarkDestiny]

:mad: Ok...WHY is Orhime helping them!?!? They didn't even threaten her and she's healing everyone!!! This chapter angers me...

[crow-kun]

They threatened to kill all her friends and loved one isn't that enough?

[DarkDestiny]

^ -_-; I believe that qualifies as enough. I just thought of it along the lines of no one was really being threatened at that point. She also doesn't have any guarentee of her friends' saftey. She wouldn't know the difference if they were out killing her friends now.

So if some guy broke into your house and held your family hostage and said that you had to give him a reach around or he would kill your family you wouldn't do it on the off chance he might kill your family anyway?

[DarkDestiny]

Point taken. But in the end they are going to fight each other and she is only making them stronger so they can kill her friends in the long run anyway.

Chapter 243: The Knuckle & The Arrow

Damn, Ishida and Chad sure did kick some ***. I was actually surprised on how powerfull they've become and Ishida new arrow...what a beaut. Chad also seems to be getting more of a fighters blood than before, I just hope he gets two fighting arms insted of one sometime in the future.

[DarkDestiny]

Orhime has a new outfit! Can this mean she will be employed by Aizen soon? I hope so...she needs to do something.

[SonRyu]

I guess Orihime is definitely there of her own free will, after seeing her reaction to hearing that her friends were there to "rescue" her. Seems to me like she won't be willling to leave with them. Even though Aizen could have "hynpnotized" her, I doubt that's the case at all. If she WANTS to stay though, I wonder what's her motivation? Surely she doesn't want to help Aizen (seeing things his way). I wonder if she's planning some sort of 'coup' with her abilities...

[DarkDestiny]

^ She did seem very surprised. I don't know what made her think her friends wouldn't come and rescue her. She does seem like she's staying, but I think a 'coup' is very unlikely....but I am still curious...did she learn something new when in the Soul Society?

hmmm...Perhaps she was in the Soul Society for a reason. I mean, why train there? Others in the Soul Society did mention at the end of the last arc that her powers were unique and amazing. Perhaps is working with the Soul Society and does has something planned. That could explain Rukia's appearance...to make sure Ichigo and friends don't mess it up. Wow. I have no clue where this whole theory came from -_-;

[Lord Timaeus]

I highly doubt Orihime is going to turn on her friends; she's only surprised because she's such an airhead. <_<

Since I've been a bit disappointed with the recent chapters as of late, I really hope Kubo's leading us up to something with this Rescue Orihime arc other than simply rescuing Orihime. Of course, it's not like I'm a fan of Orihime in the first place, so I'd better hope this arc is worth it.

In the meantime, here's Aizen's couch in Magic form:

[blackknight]

Uuryu is going to catch hell from his dad for working with real Shinigami now.

Inoue's surprised because she's not the brightest knife in the shed. She thaught that since she left of her own free will (sort of) they wouldn't come after her.

[DarkDestiny]

Wow. She turned on her friends. Or she at least said she works for Aizen. Now she just has to back it up with actions. But I don't get why? I guess her costume has special mind-manipulation powers?? :blink:

[u_nick]

in her mind there was no alternative. Ichigo and crew have come to show her the alternative. :)

[Chef Wun]

Or maybe she's just using Aizen to get stronger, or she actually wants to feel useful in the upcoming battle,

can't wait for the Ichigo/Grimjow rematch, now that's gonna be sweet!

[Lord Timaeus]

249's up.

And just as I predicted, Aizen wants to use Orihime's powers on the Hogyoku. Needless to say, I'm quite disappointed with this generic plotline once again.

Of course, should Orihime actually succeed in unmaking the Hogyoku, I'd imagine the final winter battle to be quite anticlimactic.

[SonRyu]

I do have to wonder, by "rejecting the existence of the Hougyoku", is Orihime still doing exactly what Aizen wants? He's not stupid. He specifically just told her exactly what her powers do, that they deny an event happening. I think that by telling her this, he knows full well that her train of thought will become that of "rejecting the existence of the Hougyoku". I wonder if the Hougyoku had a previous form or something that Aizen is really after, and if Orihime 'rejects the existence of the Hougyoku', is it going to revert back to what it was BEFORE it was the Hougyoku? That smirk on Aizen's face still says "all's going as planned".

[DarkDestiny]

^ Yeah, I was confused with that as well. What exactly does he want to do with that thing? Didn't they say in previous chapters that he is waiting because it needs time to grow to become more powerful.
