Fairy Tail: SpoilerErza no pants kick!

Hajime no Ippo: SpoilerAlready an interesting fight with Itagaki. He's not accustomed to being shut down like that, and I'm curious on whether he'll be able to get out of it.

Apparently Bleach is back, and didn't waste any time Spoilergoing nowhere at all. Well, I guess the whole "we were here all along" reveal could be considered going somewhere.

Naruto was about the same. SpoilerIn that it didn't really go anywhere.

And not to be outdone, One Piece Spoilerdidn't go anywhere either, but it did reveal just how creepy Bartolomeo is. I like that one of the more powerful characters in the tournament isn't actively trying to kill one of the main characters, though he probably will in the end. Drillhead is grateful and Don Flamingo is an extremist, neither of which was all that surprising.

One Piece: SpoilerLuffy will use the army he doesn't know he has now to attack Doflamingo's troops.

Bleach: SpoilerLove Kurotsuchi's outfit and the WTFs it gathers.

Naruto: SpoilerAnd Sasuke turns evil again.

According to the Manga Panda translation its supposed to be a bird, and it looks like the cousin of the Monoclops from Toriko.

In during FFFFFFFFFU~

Naruto: SpoilerIt's like playing Final Fantasy ... 5 ... I think it was 5, and finding out the last boss is a ******* tree. You're fighting dragons and evil knights and monsters ten times your size and ferocity and suddenly you're fighting a goddamn shrub. I expect Sakura to just stand around because she's the second most useless female in a manga ever, and I'm not surprised that's all Sasuke seems to be doing as well, after all that build up a few chapters ago.

Bleach: SpoilerTournament fight, I expect Kenpachi to finally show up. Both of them. And it'll be more badass than not going to congress about an airstrike. That's really all I'm holding out for as far as Bleach is concerned.

One Piece: SpoilerFlashbacks and character building. Mixed bag, Xena Warrior Princess is more Vivi than Robin. Admittedly, I'm kind of curious what is going on. I'm guessing it's revisionist history, in that the old king before Flamingo was actually a good guy but it was manipulated to him being a badguy. So ... I guess it's kind of like Alabasta all over again. Or not. Can't really predict which direction this stuff goes in sometimes.

Itagaki is getting beaten, Toriko is going further than One Piece does with weird, and Shaman King Flowers is introducing new characters left and right with each chapter.

Now if you'll excuse me I'll be checking my Marvel/DC comics pages and wondering why they weren't updated yet and forgetting it's actually Tuesday.

With those tongues you know that Midora likes to eat more than food.

SpoilerYou can just see Gray turning around, shrugging his shoulders, and sheepishly saying "Oops."

SpoilerIt's probably tiny until Natsu makes it bigger with his fire.

Still reads like a filler arc.

SpoilerBlair sacrifices herself to re-ignite the flame ala "That's no moon" Yue.

We can only hope.

Fairy Tail: SpoilerDid not see that coming. I thought Atlas had bones and such, but apparently he is purely made out of flames.

SpoilerIt only worked because it happened to be Atlas, and Natsu had already added Atlas' fire to his power list. If it was anything else it would have either not worked, with the External Flame being stronger than Natsu's, or that beating it with the one-eyed monster (heh) puts the remaining flame out.

Liked Brook's tactic, Naruto Spoilercouldn't be more of an asspull if it were written by Kubo. Seriously, Sasuke just happens to know how to access sage powers. Just like that. **** this ****., and Bleach Spoilerwas totally Burning Finger. Standard power level tug-of-war. Maybe another chapter of defense before the next tier show up. Still betting it's Kenpachi with Bankai.

I'll be honest, I don't remember that ever happening, or rather I don't remember SpoilerJugo's power basically giving access to Sage Mode. I remember him using the cursed seal, though. I mean, if it did happen then at least it was a little planning so a little less asspully. That would at least put it in line with other Naruto asspulls, and not epic Kubo levels.

As an another aside, it's not Tuesday. Scramble to catch up on comics now.
