182 Days of TPN - Day 142
Chapter 142: "The Promise Made 1,000 Years Ago, Part 2"
Hearing about Leuvis and how he's causing some massive damage is truly frightening and definitely what I should be focusing on right now.. and yet here I am completely enamored by the Ray ancestor and his fancy ponytail.
Julius wishes there to be no more sacrifices.. by sacrificing others. I'm not quite sure you're understanding your logic, sir. I know he cares about not losing any more of his own men and comrades, but a whole lot of innocent lives will suffer instead as a result.
Not only did Ray's ancestor passed down his logical mind and handsome looks, but also his tragic backstory. Okay, well.. there's no such thing as a decent backstory in this series, but his comments just remind me a bunch about all the siblings Ray lost while at GF along with the bunker dads.
I know Norman has his own ancestor, but the moment here between Julius & Emma's ancestor sounds so much like the argument in ch153 when Emma is trying to "save" Norman.
Not that I wanna compare Isabella and Julius in any way, but it would've been hilarious to me if he countered with a "Yes. Isn't it obvious?" like she did to Peter in ch170. Even without that, it's kinda like the Ratris get the tables turned on them with who is getting betrayed.
It's amazing how strongly I despise this man when he's only in the story for two chapters.
I always felt like offering up the best food was such an easy thing for the demons to give up, compared to the rewards the humans (both Julius & Emma) have to settle with. Yverk is still able to eat high quality food, with him being a royal, so it doesn't seem like that big of a loss to me.
I also take great joy of seeing the demon god laugh at Julius' expense. It is a harsh role, but Julius was so adamant about putting this deal into place for the sake of humans and now he gets to witness them suffer over and over and over again. So, unfortunate for everyone else yes, but I strangely don't feel sorry for him individually. This is why you don't betray your friends.
Sigh, when demon god says it like that, it seems so obvious what reward He will ask of Emma, doesn't it?
Nothing is more important to this girl than her own family, but when she words the promise like this, ya think everything is gonna be all fine and well. If everyone crosses over to the human world and no one can return to the demon world, then they'll all be safe, right?
WRONG! This little bastard knows exactly how to find a loophole and get exactly what he wants regardless and I hate that stupid, unseeable smirk on His face.
Favorite panel/moment:
A quick moment of peace between these dudes. And Ray's ancestor looking totally precious.

Silver Talks AniManga (23/04/23)
another chill week HOWEVER
tuesday is a holiday and I got pto for monday AND there's not gonna be a jump issue cause of golden week so I'll some of that extra time to watch at least the first 3 eps (the good ol rule) of some of the anime this season and try to put a dent on all the old "watching" stuff I had from years ago before I start going through the stuff I've missed over the years and before I start my next big manga binge
Anime
Mashle Ep3
it was an alright episode, nothing really to note, I do be liking the voice acting tho (for the most part)
Jigokuraku Ep4
I was right it was very good, takarie going off fr this season with yuzuriha, the megumin spinoff and hoshino ai too
the quality of the anime is still consistent which is good, gabimaru did some cool flashy stuff, tho it annoyed me that the panel with genryuusai's peeled face was only a handful of frames cause it felt like it had a lot more impact in the manga, but I know I'm gonna have to get used to that since it's an anime and all that
Pokemon Horizons Ep3
nothing crazy but still a very nice episode, like I said next time, it just feels like a breath of fresh air to not have ash around, it feels like the anime isn't shackled anymore to the gyms -> championship formula and it can start exploring more stuff. roy is joining the cast next week so I hope he isn't annoying. also I thought it was strange the anime was set in kanto since this is the gen 9 anime but they ARE going to paldea so that's good
Manga
Dandadan Ch102
continuation of vamola's backstory feelsbadman. got to her mech suit tho pog
JOJOLands Ch3
decent chap, not much happened unlike the previous one but that's ok, we got the first stand fight brewing tho so that's good
Jojo: Hol Horse/Josuke Spinoff Ch15
decent chap, good to see hol's character arc throughout the whole manga finally come to it's peak, next chap is the last but it had a nice little run
Tokyo Underworld Ch38
I said some week's ago hirasaka was gonna die and they really filled this chap with red flags for him lol
The Ichinose Family's Deadly Sins Ch 22
Jiangshi X Ch13
nothing of note tbh, they're still moping around what happened and not moving on fast enough
Fabricant 100 Ch19
ah, #1 finally showed up so it's finally gearing up for the end, took a bit longer than expected but saw it coming for a while
Kill Blue Ch2
decent chap, with some plot progression at the end, nice to see it progressing already instead of fucking around for too long
Witch Watch Ch106
a good chap, I figured it wouldn't work just like that but it's a good start, doesn't seem like the next chap will continue it since it doesn't say part 1 but would be for moi to realize his feelings already
Cipher Academy Ch21
a good chap, funny seeing nisio just break the 4th wall like this
the cover was really cool too and, like usual, I feel bad for the translator having to explain all the code cards
Blue Box Ch98
good chap, even if things didn't go right for poor taiki, I believe in him tho, and with the big 100 around the corner I'm hoping for some development
Tenmaku Cinema Ch3
I really didn't expect her to be so silly from her introduction but it's very good, good chap too and not taking too long with developments either which is always good to see early on, ofc it should be expected from a veteran duo
Mashle Ch153
this is the classic mash we know and love, good chap
Undead Unluck Ch156
good chap, I didn't expect that development at the end but it was about time something didn't go exactly according to fuuko's plan
Sakamoto Days Ch116
good chap, it's cool to see sakamoto get serious once in a while, tho we're prob gonna lose rion soon :(
The Elusive Samurai Ch107
good chap, certainly didn't expect this, but since this happened it prob means we're closer to the end than I thought
Akane-banashi Ch59
GREAT chap, god I love akane she's such a good character, really looking forward to her doing the full story
Ayakashi Triangle Ch127
nice chap, funny to see mei act all tsundere but still helping on her own way

Ch141-200
Ch141: Kneel to the Baboon King
damn renji!! ‘since you never did give a damn about your subordinates’ (/starts aggressively shipping renji/ken-chan)
bow chicka bow wow
translation? shipping goggles? something else? you decide
Ch142: Tsuki Wo Tora Umono Ha Tsugu
“the curtain that falls down at the end...shall be pulled down by the blade of my sword” wrow byakuya
PEEL SEBONBANANA is way too ingrained within my mind...sorry byakuya
just the reflection of the moon on the lake....kyoka suigetsu....
anyway, byakuya....what a bamf
Ch143: Parthian Shaft
WHAT A FUCKEN MATCH ON ACTION...RENJI TO ICHIGO AND BACK...NNNN KUBO....
sidenote i hate that i used to have more coherent meta thoughts about media (mostly knb lol) and i was too afraid to post it into meta bc i felt like ‘only bnfs write meta....my thoughts are no good, no one will listen’ even if i didn’t publish i should have kept them somewhere for my future self.
Ch144: Rosa Rubicondior, Lillior Candidor
“Compared to letting it fall apart, holding it together...is so much more difficult.” perhaps an unintentional callback to orihime & tatsuki, but. still. yeah.
Ch145: Shaken
Ch146: Demon Loves the Dark
tosen’s bankai is so cool! i’ve refd kubo talking about how he creates a bunch of new charas when he doesn’t know what to do before but like...he gives /them/ stuff to do and in this arc he handles it really waell. it’s like 90% ‘look at this cool chara and what they can do’ but all of that is still contributing to the plot/mystery at the same time....gg
Ch147: Countdown to the End 3
man....rukia is so beautiful....
JESUSFUC K
Ch148: Countdown to the End 2 (Lady Lennon ~ Frankenstein)
man....tosen...and his can’t see the forest for the trees (or is it the other way around?) on justice....when will my thoughts on this become more coherent
AWOO~
Ch149: Countdown to the End 1
‘even if we die, we’ll just change a little’ that’s quite zen of you ken-chan
UKITAKEEEEEE
bawww rikichi
Ch150: Countdown to the End 0
shunnao
“Yo” ICHIGO!!!!!! PLS!!!!!!!!!!
Ch151: Deathberry Returns
nnnn kyoraku and ukitake
“what are you doing” “obvs breaking this execution pole” BOTH OF U PLS
“and again i wanna say i’m here to help you” ichigo.......T__T what a man
Ch152: The Speed Phantom
“what is he?” the question whose answer keeps changing
ASDJFKL THE FOOTBALL THROW I WAS WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT..../changes drinking game ‘to drink whenever u wanna say ichigo pls’ what even....
YEEEESSSSS ICHIGO V BYAKUYA FIGHT FIGHT FIIIIGGGHHHHTTTTT “I CAN SEE YOU...KUCHIKI BYAKUYA” YESSSSSSSS
Ch153: Empty Dialogue
byakuya: i’ll kill u
ichigo: /starts stripping
O SHIT THE FATED* YORUICHI & SOI FON MEETING
Ch154: The God of Flash
the truly vexing thing about all this is that kubo creates so many characters and they are all interesting and fleshed out just enough but there are so many there’s not room to explore all of them properly in <700 chapters (yes that’s what fic is for, yes the anime will hopefully expand on the last arc...still)
Ch155: Redoundable Deeds, Redoundablebabies
so why /did/ shunsui bring nanao anyway? to see if she was ready for the sword? bc he wanted her nearby when he was using it? i wonder
soooo yamamoto ships kyoraku/uitake....i see how it is
“nobody thinks of you as badly as you do” i mean. yeah
so they’re that kind of student
“there is no individual sense of justice that can overrule the global justice.” somehow....this feels like a computer science class...
Ch156: Welcome to Purgatory
“the only two zanpakutou in pairs” WELL ACTUALLY /takes a shot
Ch157: Cat and Hornet
did we ever find out what yoruichi’s sword was or nah
SHE
(and saying “yo” the same way as ichigo....again.....so obvious....)
Ch158: Sky Leopardess
soi fon is /so/ mad at yoruichi for leaving and idk. it’s really raw.
Ch159: Long Way to Say Goodbye
Ch160: The Battle on the Guillotine Hill
kasdjfl ikkaku and iba....& ikkaku recognizing iba’s constraints, his ambitions of becoming VC and living up to expectations vs his thirst for blood, deep down 11th division huh.....in a way, it’s like how yumichika hides his shikai & ikkaku hides that he has bankai at all, how kenpachi refuse to know the sword part of his soul....they’re all in some kind of denial and contradiction. interesting, i will think about that some more.
fucken SCREAMING
in the end.....ichigo is just an older sibling, huh. this is orihime’s big bro all over again, right? ‘the older sibling was born first to protect the younger sibling’ and all that
Ch161: Scratch the Sky
calling ichigo’s attack name arrogant BYAKUYA PLS MR ‘1000 years too early and i can’t think of a better insult so i’ll just use it again’
“THAT’S EXACTLY WHAT I WAS IMPLYING KUCHIKI BYAKUYA”
i love that ichigo constantly uses his full name....is it bc byakuya always uses ichigo’s full name?
Ch162: Black Moon Rising
anyway i love the constant reuse/remix/recycle of the moon imagery. another way i guess that bleach has had an influence on me.
this is really horny wow...”i shall carve on your body the penalty for violating our pride”
now kiss
Ch163: The Speed Phantom 2
Ch164: That Who Change the World
“the person i wish to slay personally” is he referring to renji here or what...idt it was exactly like that with him?
there is a hell of a lot of ‘i’ll never forgive you!’ in this manga and i adore it
Ch165: Dark Side of the Universe 2
so then the true power of realgetsu comes out....yes i see i see
Ch166: Black & White 2
AHA! Looking back, the OG “dark side” and “black & white” chaps were all about ichigo getting the power of bachgetsu during the kenpachi fight. so the “no name” is a red herring - either ichigo’s shinigami power doesn’t know his own name, that he’s the real zangetsu, or he can’t say it bc of whatever is between him and bachgetsu.
lmao byakuya is just so confused
smiling at ichigo with his face all bloody tho....that’s love i guess
SAY MY NAME SAY MY NAAAAAME
Ch167: The Burial Chamber
oh i guess kaien has longer eyelashes than ichigo too
yeah that’s right! ichigo was fighting the system man, you were just the avatar of that system. that’s how it goes huh
“he is the same as that infuriatingly liberal man” BYAKUYA PLS....
you could make some political memes out of this. i’ll spare you.
slakfj makimaki pls
yep, back to the c (d? how many threads are there?) plot...i forgot about all the government ppl getting executed. there’s so much going on.
Ch168: Behind Me, Behind You
honestly sowing discord and allowing the shinigami and ichigo etc to take each other out....damn aizen
O SHIT
the panel is too big to screenshot, but gin standing behind momo....the stark white background.....perfection *chef kiss emoji*
Ch169: End of Hypnosis
aizen, standing in the doorway, holy shit
and the panel of him impaling momo on the sword.....incredible effect. absolutely chilling. what the fuck.
Ch170: End of Hypnosis 2
‘admiration is a feeling furthest away from understanding’ and aizen is in some ways quite right about that! (it’s a sibling or a cousin to ‘because i’m admiring i can’t surpass’ i think) like...soi fon and yoruichi, rukia and byakuya, rukia and kaien even, ichigo and his mom, uryuu and his grandpa...that said aizen is straight up lying, of course he wanted to deceive everyone! but the best lies don’t stray too far from the truth eh
Ch171: End of Hypnosis 3 The Blue Fog
oh it’s rare to see such older jump covers in the scanlation ha....wow death note....(how to read, yeah, but still! long ago)
ooooh i see (i really don’t) (about the corpse--was it kyoka suigetsu, the sword itself, the whole time? i’m like 90% sure)
Ch172: End of Hypnosis 4 Prisoners in Paradise
speaking of characters who didn’t get enough time to shine, isane....but like damn she’s good at kido
Ch173: End of Hypnosis 5 Standing to Defend You
the composition of the title page....nice
Ch174: End of Hypnosis 6 The United Front
Ch175: End of Hypnosis 7 Truth Under My Strings
so he’s lying about urahara’s exile here...well ig the only ones here to witness it are ichigo, rukia, and renji. or maybe that’s what everyone believes about urahara bc aizen was hypnotizing them even back then
Ch176: End of Hypnosis 8 The Transfixion
Ch177: End of Hypnosis 9 Completely Encompass
man the big damn heroes and then the reversal....exquisite...
Ch178: No One Stand on the Sky
“to go higher” aizen pls
and aizen calls him human...after all, that’s what he is
Ch179: Confession in the Twilight
the room is so incredibly empty...something something kubo but the floors are detailed. it’s byakuya’s empty life.
either unohana is hiding it with her clothes or isane has seen her scar
Ch180: Something in the Aftermath
and she’s 11th division too, deep down
‘you look like a chivalrous quincy’ lmfao uryuu pls...yknow he is the kind of guy who gives others what he would like to receive
ichigo you absolute dork
....yeah, the gin/ran revelation later on is actually not that much of a shock. ig i’d like it better if he didn’t have that as his motivation but it doesn’t make a huge difference to me.
womanly intuition ORIHIME PLS
Ch181: And the Rain Left Off
the title is almost whitmanesque
the whole ‘coworkers blowing off steam after a stressful time by getting drunk together’ thing is...it’s been a while since i was in a job like that (maybe since bleach was still coming out) but still. i don’t like mandatory socialization with coworkers but at that job...
“because of you the rain has stopped falling” man, my heart
also rain metaphors are as good as moon ones, maybe better
Ch182: Get Back from the Storm
i wonder what urahara’s real reason was
i’m really surprised they let them get away with *that* in a shonen mag
also that it hasn’t been this lively in a while....well isshin did say he always knew when it was kon. so probably didn’t attack him
Ch183: Eyes of the Unknown
i mean you could ask orihime, she’s also in the sewing club
oh it’s not a quincy cross on the charm after all damn...looks kind of like the kanji for ‘middle’ but not really?
or maybe masaki had nothing to do with it and it was from soul society or something
ohhh i thought the ‘hollow’ alarm was going off bc of shinji but...ig not. tatsuki tho :(
and hi shinji!
Ch184: Hush
the moon thru the hollow hole :O
Ch185: Be My Family or Not
oh it’s ryuuken!
Ch186: Tell your Children the Truth
he’s got the fucken quincy tie and everything....incredible
o hai isshin
(lol tell your children the truth, /both/ of you)
Ch187: The Cigar Blues Part Two
revenge was a long time coming
Ch188: Crush the World Down
alskdjf the translator’s note about ‘masaki died during the daytime wtf does kubo mean’
Ch189: Resolve
thinking about the way kubo juggles plots....he left the ‘o ya yoruichi was in hueco mundo’ thing in the last arc for...actual years maybe? maria posted like ‘i started and graduated from college before yoruichi came back’ but...i probably didn’t reblog that post so it’s lost to the ages, ah well
anyway he’s been decent at juggling the plots but they haven’t grown into kudzu and there’s less executive meddling rn...we shall see
me, eyescanning for kanae’s photo
(well teeeeeechnically ichigo isn’t reeeeeally a shinigami....yknow~)
Ch190: Conquistadores
ULQUIORRA HI (oh and yammy too ig)
Ch191: Conquistadores 2
(”T/N May change when we find out how Kubo wants to spell his name”)
Ch192: Conquistadores 3 Hounded Priestess
aaaaaand he goes straight for the bankai huh. is this an attempt to get in touch with realgetsu? decision that since yammy beat orihime and chad already that they must be strong and he can’t waste time? worried that he’s too vulnerable to realgetsu in shikai?
or maybe i’m just too used to a certain battle shonen where every fight hits the same beat /shrug
Ch193: Conquistadores 4
ah yes, ulquiorra “where is the logic” what a redd/it bro
Ch194: Conquistadores 5
Ch195: Death and Strawberry Reprise
i had to link the classique (ik it didn’t actually go for that long in the anime....but the time padding is ridiculous. also lol the filler modsouls from the bount arc are there)
both orihime and ichigo feeling the same worried thoughts about each other huh
MAN
WHEN THEY SEE EACH OTHER AGAIN
ik it’s been really not a long time but yknow
(what is it out of universe? ch181 thru 195...so that’s 14 weeks assuming no break....3+ months, so yeah long time when you’re in the target demo)
Ch196: Punch Down the Stone Circle
that whole monologue up until “that’s the kind of man you have been in my heart, ichigo” i--
Ch197: The Approaching Danger
didn’t isshin end up revealing that he knew rukia lived in his closet tho....at some point.
isn’t it 3 captains? ok he says that a few panels later /shrugs away
Ch198: The Icecold Discord
(is that the arrancars’ chatroom site? /shot)
and we’re back to volumes instead of jump issues...inch resting. at least i get the poems.
oh i get it now ok
unfortunately, i am drawn to grimmjow/ulquiorra (and that i am not surprised by at all lmao)
Ch199: Ugly
i missed rukia’s ridiculous acting tbh....and ichigo’s reaction faces
i am tempted to change my profile pic to this but i’ve also lost the og copies of my old one....i wonder if there’s a way to dl it from here
(update: had to save the draft to get image inserts working and managed to dl. i will be annoyed ichigo shortly)
again, hash tag relatable teenage crush feelings....kubo.....
(also how did rangiku not notice isshin when she was in his fucking house and all)
ah yes the gratuitous spanish
Ch200: Night of Seldgehammer
nnnn rukia planned to redecorate the closet......
OH MY GOD IKKAKU...AND YUMICHIKA TOO....’these onigiri are perfectly made, no way the shop girl could do it....CONTROLLED FROM THE SHADOWS that must be it’ pls pls PLS
