One Piece Strong World Ch. 0

*SPOILERS!!! READ WITH CAUTION!!!!!*
Review
So this was the special that everyone was waiting for. If you didn't know what the hype of this chapter was all about, well basically it was said to be a prequel to the 10th One Piece Movie known as: One Piece Strong World. As well as being the 10th One Piece movie, Strong World also has the honour to be overseen by the creator of One Piece itself, Eiichiro Oda.

So chapter 0 starts off about 3 years before Gold Roger's execution and introduces us to a new character, Shiki also known as 'Golden Leo'. Now Shiki may be the main focus of some but just for a while I'm going to talk about all of the other characters. I absolutely loved the fact that Oda focused on just about everyone who was alive during that time. He went from the marines (Garp, Aokiji, Sengoku), to pirates (Shanks, Buggy, Rayleigh), to future shichibukai (Moria, Boa Hancock, Do Flamiongo, Hawkeye Mihawk, Crocodile) to many others.

The way Oda set up this chapter was amazing. Nothing was there to 'fill in the space'. All of the panels meant something, whether it was watching how Shiki formed his master plan or how the many other characters reacted to Roger's death. This chapter really set up the entire movie plot an I myself cannot wait for the movie!

Bleach Ch. 382 - The United Front - Discordeque Mix

*SPOILER ALERT!! CAUTION!!*
Review:

This chapter wasn't the worst. Unohana realising that Ichigo's reiatsu is at Captain level when he is only at half strength wasn't the biggest surprise. We knew that he was the strongest of them all from the very beginning. I like that fact that humour is being brought back in the chapters. For example, Unohana's reiatsu compared to Ichigo's when they were travelling back to Karakura town. These small hints of humour make a chapter.

The highlight of this chapter for me was Byakuya and Kenpachi taking down Yammy. I love the fact that they are both so full of themselves that they don't think they are suited to give the final blow to Yammy. Of course Yammy getting up again didn't make things easier. I like how they finished off Yammy in the end. A very good finish and very satisfying.

Naruto Ch. 471 - Tailed Beast, Version 2

Review

So after two weeks of waiting we finally get to see Killerbee's and Kisame's fight. To tell you the truth, I'm a little disappointed. I was looking forward to see some cool Suiton (Water Techniques) in action from the both of them. But no. Didn't see any of that happening. Samehada's evolution was alright, but I think a little over dramatic. What happened to using good old fashioned jutsu to kicking each other's butt?? Nope instead they rely on their swords to grow and protect them from incoming chakra (Well in Kisame's case anyway).

Kisame's transformation wasn't half bad, but am I the only one who is getting sick of seeing everyone transform into something?? I mean Kishi, it's time to pull a new rabbit out of the hat. If you keep going on like this Naruto will dissolve before the end of the year!
