Manga updates Wednesday

So the big manga serializations' newest chapters were finally scanlated yesterday and here's my summary

Naruto 603: Rehabilitation

The flashback of young Obito continues.  More is revealed about the Zetsu's (the white and spiral forms) and their links to the Gedou Mazou.  They actually seem pretty docile and offer a nice comedic relief for Obito since the decrepit Madara apparently needs to nap for long periods of time to preserve what little life he has left.  The implanted half of Obito's body turns out to be very handy, having properties of the 1st Hokage.  And upon learning his friends are in danger, Obito vainly attempts to escape the chamber.  The spiral Zetsu turns out to be a nice guy and offers Obito a hand.  My thoughts on Madara is he suspects Obito's sharingran allowed him to avoid being completely crushed by the boulder.  Obito indeed lost most of the right side of his body, but his sharingran and, presumably, the half of his brain survived.







Bleach 509: Tenchi Kaijin
Captain Yamamoto's Zanka no Tachi South is disgustingly awesome.  Yuha Bach is definitely cowering before the shinigami's destructive force.  More is revealed about the Steinritter's ability to steak bankai.  Apparently the explanation is very simple and disappointing at the same time.  Yamamoto explains why his, as well as Ichigo's, bankai hasn't been stolen yet.  And finally Zanka no Tachi North: Tenchi Kaijin (lit. Heaven and Earth Burned to Ashes) is unleashed in simplistic, destructive fashion.  But the biggest surprise of the chapter came with Yuha apologizing...to himself?















Beelzebub 174: Tasumi and Takachin

A very slow paced chapter, as expected of flashbacks to Oga's non-demonic days.  The highlight of their past was definitely seeing Oga's oneesan as leader of the original Red Tails gang.  Back to the end of Furuichi and Oga's battle, Behemoth is still hovering about.  He makes a curious observation about Furuichi having absorbed so much demonic power, likely hinting towards Furuichi stepping out from the shadows permanently.





















Katekyo Hitman Reborn! 503: The Ultimate Dying Will

The dying will bullet makes a cameo.  The scenes of Tsuna going apeshit in his boxers at the beginning of the series were some of the funniest I've ever seen in animes.  So it was curious to see what would happen to Tsuna who was shot with his dying will flame already on.  With the trend of crazy armor, VG weapons, and general badassness that the series has been pumping lately leading to the end, I was expecting something similar.  But the chapter surprises with a very minimalistic approach and Tsuna gets some payback on Bermuda.  Though at the end Bermuda reveals his final trump card while Tsuna seems unfazed.
