GL states early in the episode that they do not have an accurate census, so the counter you saw likely isn't in Kamina City (if it physically exists at all). It's just a visual thing for the viewers to say shit's about to happen. They also gave Rossieu responsibility for the census so something that may not have come accross is that forcing people to the surface likely actually started in this episode as opposed to over the time skip. His mentality behind doing so wasn't so much that he WANTS to force them to the surface, but more because at any given time people can just randomly come to the surface and throw off the numbers so its easier to track only the surface. Lastly on an unrelated note I wonder if Suraj is a Star Trek fan as he mentioned a big part of their lore. Aliens initated 1st Contact after they observed humanity successfully developed warp drive (interstellar capability that can actually get them beyond their own galaxy).

2023-12-28 21:33:55 +0000 UTC# SUNDAY RUNDOWN HO HO HO A fun reaction to Bleach this week. Some Points that were in the manga but not the anime: * Grimmjow ripped off Loly's leg, instead of just saying Boo. *Orihime did, in fact, restore Menoly to life. But it's important you all remember what Aizen said of her powers. She's not reversing time or healing, she's rejecting reality. So it's more accurate to say she 'rejected' the fact of Menoly dying in the first place. *Pink Hair Espada ate his minion raw, without turning him into an energy ball. Finally, some questions for you because I want to see what insights you have made about the themes of the show: To you, what does it mean to become a Hollow? What does Ichigo's mask represent? What do Orihime's powers and the way she uses them reflect about her character? Is Nel calling Grimmjow 'Master Grimmjow Espada Number 6' required for viewers who may have somehow gotten confused and started thinking he's actually number 3? Happy New Year folks. Great Hair Suraj. And your last meeting went well. Stand proud. You are a great leader. Now both of you fuck off to the next comment.

2023-12-28 19:20:13 +0000 UTC"Damn this is some domestic abuse shit" Yes! Suraj, exactly. The whole scene with Orihime basically is. Remember Orihime was abused as a kid and bullied a lot growing up. One of the reasons she doesn't fight back in this scene against Loly and Menoly is because it evokes PTSD-esque emotions out of her, essentially paralysing her.

2023-12-28 03:50:53 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown Some things to remember for the future regarding Orihime is that she is a pacifist at heart. She hates hurting others and if she sees someone in pain right in front of her, whether it be a friend or an enemy, her gut reaction is to heal/help them. She also prefers not to fight, she could have easily taken out Loly and Menoly here but she refrained, it’s her own personal quiet strength. It’s also why her attack person is the weakest, because of her mental barrier. It’s also been stated that her mind set/personality really isn’t suited for the battlefield by Renji, Uryu, and Urahara. As much as Orihime is a kind person she also has a very self deprecating personality and real serious trauma from her upbringing that has definitely shaped how she is now. This always made Orihime one of the more interesting characters to me, because of what she has suffered through in her life and how that shaped her mind set, and how she now sees the world, and how she treats others. It’s really layered when you dig into it.

2023-12-28 02:31:08 +0000 UTCI think she sounds exactly like a child and children can sound annoying because of their higher pitched voices, and nel is the least annoying thing about this arc
Rando calrissian
2023-12-28 01:45:34 +0000 UTCThe manga chapter where Orihime is abused is entitle "Don't Kill My Volupture". Just FYI. 🤣 In case the message last time got lost in the sauce during vacation, after 167, you skip to 190, NOT 191. Yes, it's annoying that 190 is mostly recap, but there's still VERY important canon stuff that happens by the end. Skip to the half-way point, with "BLEACH" title card, then let it ride. Don't fast-forward, 'cause it smoothly transitions into the new stuff. After that, just avoid the intro until 196, so you can be surprised by...something I'm not going to tell you. 😉

2023-12-28 00:11:59 +0000 UTCOooooo I'm excited cause y'all got a couple fights coming up in Bleach that are lowkey some of the best fights in anime

2023-12-27 23:55:02 +0000 UTCFun fact: Suraj is close in the Gurren Lagann discussion, we have a scale for classifying civilization levels, called the Kardashev Scale. It's only an hypothetical theory since humans are the only data we have, but essentially there are 3 types of civilizations, type 1 being us as we technically have access to all the energy sources on earth, geothermal, fossil fuels, hydro, ignoring nation borders and uniting under one society much like in the show, we could harness it and even change the weather, example bombing volcanos to create controlled eruptions or building massive structures to generate wind patterns, obviously not gonna happen but we COULD do that lol, type 2 civilization is the classic sci-fi genre, interstellar travel and colonizing other planets for their resources. Finally type 3 is a species has mastered technology to such a degree they can control the known laws of physics, like time travel, reality bending, even harnessing energy from major cosmic events black holes and supernovas.

2023-12-27 23:36:40 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown Fun fact: The proposal ring Simon gives Nia uses a gem stone that Simon found in ep11. The one where Simon finally snaps out of his depression. PS: Rana, it’s pronounced Roh-see-yoo, not Roo-see-yo 😂. Reminds me of the Naruto days when you used to say Ochiramu instead Orochimaru.

2023-12-27 23:28:22 +0000 UTC#SundayRundown #Bleach Ah, this duo of episodes. I think this is probably the most edited/censored Bleach is in a small span of time. Here are the things that were changed (with image links to those particular differences): 1. Uryuu's shot at Szayel was actually to the neck (instead of the stomach) in the manga. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bleach/images/5/56/Ch274Ep163SzayelaporroCensor.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20220621050955&path-prefix=en 2. Szayel literally eats his minions (blood, gore and all) instead of shrinking them to a purple energy ball and only then consuming them to restore his health. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/2b/17/14/2b1714905b810463ee971feeafd36af1.jpg https://ibb.co/jJmvw1Q 3. Instead of yelling boo, Grimmjow actually does some pretty fucked up shit and tears Loly's leg off. Loly tries to save her own skin by implying that she'll let Grimmjow sleep with her if she just keeps this a secret (this was confirmed by Tite Kubo in an interview). The leg is also what Orihime later restores for her (as she did with Grimmjow's arm). https://ibb.co/XyQyz2Q https://ibb.co/YXMYjf2 I believe the manga version of this scene makes more sense because instead of Orihime just stopping by to heal some minor bruises, she rather saves Loly from being a cripple (remember arrancar body parts don't grow back, unless you have regenerative powers). She is essentially so kind that she refuses to let people get crippled or killed around her, even though they may be her enemies. Now whether this is a healthy way of thinking is a topic for another discussion... 4. Orihime literally brings people back from death. https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/bleach/images/4/42/Ch274Ep163MenolyCensor.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/1000?cb=20220621051551&path-prefix=en And yes, she is this OP but as with many things in Bleach characters are very limited by their willpower and/or willingness to fight etc. Just keep this in mind going forward, it is very essential to understanding the fluctuations in Ichigo's power and why Orihime's Koten Zanshun (Tsubaki technique- that cutting disk that was swatted away by Yammy) is potentially as strong as Krillin's Destructo Disc but unfortunately she is very much limited by being a pacifist at heart. I'd like to think of her as a teddy bear wielding an assault rifle. As a side note, Bleach TYBW is like 99% uncensored. Since it has a midnight time slot in Japan, they can be much more lenient with it now.

2023-12-27 22:35:19 +0000 UTCNel's voice in Japanese makes her so much more lovable as she really sounds like a child. The English voice makes everyone think she is soo annoying hahaha
Christy
2023-12-27 21:29:16 +0000 UTCIt's also mentioned by the first half of the series from the Armadillo General that Lord Genome was alive for 1,000 years and he became progressively more and more off his rocker over the years so that also casted a lot of doubt on his last words. I mean, you can kinda see why now. Living as the king of humanity with that kinda of threat looming above you for centuries would definitely make the stress warp your mind.
Sol Dragonbane
2023-12-27 19:31:00 +0000 UTCYes, i'm right, thank you
Mrhalloween
2023-12-27 18:56:02 +0000 UTCYou're right it isn't the same chapter, uts 1 vhapter after, but we see a flashback. Grimmjow tells orehime to clean up her face immediately after blasting the girl, the next page orehime heals the less injured one, and then the very next page heals the blasted one, so adding the flashback into the previous chapter, it goes she gets blasted, grimmjow tells her to clean her face, she heals one girl, heals the other girl, all in like 4 and a half pages. And they make it seem like she did it fast, as she runs to each girl
Unstablebeast
2023-12-27 18:41:16 +0000 UTCWhat are you on about? it's not even the same chapter. And what is the average page to manga time ratio since this is your indicator? Lmfao what is this logic
Mrhalloween
2023-12-27 18:36:22 +0000 UTCIn the manga, from her getting blasted to orehime healing her, is like 2 pages
Unstablebeast
2023-12-27 18:26:22 +0000 UTCShe has no feats and only significance was getting clapped by grimmjow in one blow, so yes she is a no name. Secondly no she didn't heal her immediately; grimmjow blew her brains out, messed up the other chick, talked with orihime, then orihime healed the less damged one AND then she healed her
Mrhalloween
2023-12-27 18:16:05 +0000 UTCBig brain Suraj. Some good predictions this episode. This episode of Gurren Lagann also marks a shift in tone for the show. Resource scarcity underground and the occasional attack by beastmen ensured that the human population would never reach 1 million.
Ginzo
2023-12-27 18:13:45 +0000 UTCI mean, she's not a no name grunt, those 2 are direct assistants to aizen. And in the manga orehime immediately heals her
Unstablebeast
2023-12-27 18:06:23 +0000 UTCWe also have no confirmation that ichigo isn't an android, but I still know that it's not true. She was 100% dead, a no name grunt would not survive something even an espada could not. Like I said this is all well defined in the story, as is the nature of orihimes powers.
Mrhalloween
2023-12-27 18:03:51 +0000 UTC#Sundayrundown Gurren lagann : You just saw how quick the destruction started as soon as they hit one million.... Having someone underground once a year would absolutely not work so yeah neither Rossiu nor Viral are in the wrong here, it's a complicated issue.And as you saw, they hit one million even before they were reading, because there are still people underground they couldn't have a good countdown. Same thing for the rift between Simon and Rossiu, you saw the meeting, you saw that Rossiu has done everything for them and in the meeting they are barely hanging together as proper leading group just because of him.
Christophe Kanaa
2023-12-27 17:42:17 +0000 UTCAnime time man, we can never tell, but regardless, we have no confirmation she was truly dead, just horribly injured, and orehime herself seems scared for people to die at all, meaning her powers can't fix it
Unstablebeast
2023-12-27 17:42:05 +0000 UTCThis is replies to my original comment that has no spoilers, the normies don't dig into the replies to comments.
Unstablebeast
2023-12-27 17:38:19 +0000 UTCTo answer your question though , barrigan spoke for like 2 seconds after the slice and immediately died when his brain split in half, this chick was definitely mega dead mintues after it happened
Mrhalloween
2023-12-27 17:38:09 +0000 UTCBruh delete, spoiler
Mrhalloween
2023-12-27 17:35:14 +0000 UTCIm not going to jump into spoiler territory (no names, when it happens, etc), but slight spoiler, there is someone else she brings back to life that is pronounced as dead. And it was neither confirmed whether that arrancar was dead or not so who's to say. But based on the spoiler, she probably can bring people back if they have recently died but it was never outright said so you are probably right
MackXi
2023-12-27 17:34:26 +0000 UTCWasn't barrigan literally still thinking, even when he was just half a floating skull left? And ulqiorra was thinking all the way until he fully disintegrated. They can't survive, but they can stay alive for short periods of time even with those injuries
Unstablebeast
2023-12-27 17:34:18 +0000 UTCNo arrancar can survive having their brain and half their vital organs destroyed, this is made pretty evident.
Mrhalloween
2023-12-27 17:31:14 +0000 UTCLook at the actual panel, half her head and half her torso was gone, we've seen arrancer cling to life for final words in states like that, so she was likely still alive
Unstablebeast
2023-12-27 17:29:40 +0000 UTCIn the manga, she was missing half her body and head. She can only revive people that just died.
MackXi
2023-12-27 17:26:56 +0000 UTCJust looked up the panel, she was missing half her head and half her torso, which for an arrancar, is dying not dead, she has never been shown to bring someone back who is already fully dead, she can just heal people from things no one else could
Unstablebeast
2023-12-27 16:38:59 +0000 UTCIn the manga, her entire upper body was disintegrated. Orihime can and actually did bring her back to life. Or to be more specific, she rejected the fact of her death in the first place.
Tristan Harley
2023-12-27 16:27:09 +0000 UTCWe are so close to when this arc gets really good.
Zangetsu
2023-12-27 16:09:23 +0000 UTCNo, orehime cannot bring back people who are already fully dead, the girl was burned to a crips and was on the verge of death, but still technically alive
