Bleach -104

Why. Do they let retards. Co-manage divisions, I ask you.

Mashiro's existence annoys me.

On the other hand, the extremely ambiguously immoral nature of Urahara team (assuming it is in fact them) is delightful. But if two of the spectators on the second page are Urahara and Mayuri, who is the third? They're all too tall and too sleekly-profiled to be Hiyori, with her kiddy ponytails. It might be Yoruichi (lol although you'd recognize her dialogue instantly in the Japanese) or else one or more people in the fifth division might be lyiiiing.

I'm vaguely pleased here. I mean, we all know Urahara is a questionable man -- after what he did to Rukia? -- but it always seemed incongruous to think that they replaced him with someone like Mayuri. After all, Urahara's a nice guy! And Mayuri is monstrous! Well, suck it. Urahara used to make people dissolve into puddles and cease existing. And Yoruichi was the assassin queen. The guys on our side really aren't all that great at role modeling.

fsasfgdsgfh YES so many times YES

RHODE LIVES
ALSO, SMILING POLITE COHERENT TYKI LIVES
I had doubts, what with the way he only survived as a primal frothing senseless creature, but TYKI LIVES APPARENTLY

This all makes me very happy. I was so sad to think that only freaking Jasdebi who I so don't care about had survived. I don't know why Rhode is still extant but whatever! She's my hero.

All this and Lavi angst? Komui/Lenalee tension? Yes please. :D

I.. agree about Mashiro. Yachiru is one thing because Ken-chan must want her, but Kensei wants to kill his idiot VC, so I don't understand at all.

One of my little annoyances with Bleach is that Urahara never gets called for his morally ambiguous doings. "Hey, Isshin! I gave your teenage son a power boost and made him risk his life against a dozen captains to fetch me my little trinket instead of doing it myself or having my accomplice Yoruichi-san, who's stronger than him at that time, do it. That okay with you?"

So while right now the main suspect's Aizen (probaby with Gin and Tousen), I'm hoping that the mysterious disappearances turns out to be Urahara's fault (with Mayuri, maybe, with Aizen, even better).

sdfgafg exactly. Yachiru got to be where she is because her Ken-chan wanted her there; I have the distinct impression that -- like his own unusual situation -- she's an unusual situation, and normally speaking, you wouldn't just take a random baby off the street and go, "And she's my lieutenant!" and have the 46 Chambers go, "Okay! Sounds good!" Yachiru is an exception. Obviously Kensei is not charmed by his lieutenant's infantile antics, so she must've gotten there by merit of her performance, and, frankly, I have a lot of difficulty seeing Mashiro out-performing the entire rest of the 13 Divisions. If only because she may have native talent, but who the fuck could tell when the moment she gets bored she'll roll around on the floor wailing and crying? Is that really something they decided to "overlook" in order to get a more powerful lieutenant going?

Whatever, I'm going to ignore it because it annoys the crap out of me.

I hadn't thought about it, but since this chapter is a few years later, it is possible that it could be Gin -- taller and more in on Aizen's messing around. We do know that Aizen conducts similar experiments, but I posit that they wouldn't introduce Tousen in this capacity -- it seems weird that when everyone else has been introduced in a "normal" context first, they would just suddenly say "Oh and Tousen is here and already neck-deep in plotting" when we never got to see him at his, er, day job. Does that make any sense to you at all I sort of lost track of how to express ideas somewhere in there.

But that would be sad. I'd like it if it winds up just more shit Urahara pulls and never gets in trouble over. XD
