October wk 2 - Manga updates!

The latest chapters of the Fab Five of Shonen Jump was officially scanlated earlier this week, so here's my brief review of what went down!

Naruto 605: Hell
This chapter was likely the darkest chapter of Naruto thus far.  Obito goes on a blood thirsty rampage after witnessing his best friend taking out (literally) the girl he's always loved.  Interestingly, Obito's sharingran goes from the initial 2-tomoe form right to his MS form.  Unbeknownst to Kakashi, he actually experienced his eye going MS that very day.  It's quite likely that Kakashi never actually unlocked the MS/Kamui ability by himself during the time skip.  Tobi/Obito only officially took a major role in the story post-time skip, which explains how Kakashi's eye developed as their link likely grew stronger.

Anyhoo, this chapter was chock full of bloody goodness (about time mokuton was shown to be deadly)!  Can't wait for it to be animated *drools

Bleach 511: Death Whilst Standing
After last week's disappointing hax copycat reasoning behind Yuha Bach's arrival, I expected Kubo sensei to restore my faith.  As has been the trend of this series, all events will ultimately lead towards Ichigo duking it out with the protagonist at the time.  So it's to be expected that Yamamoto taichou was indeed going to be punked out this week.  FUCK!

New historical account is given regarding the origins of the 13 divisions, as well as the mysterious division 0 that scare even these uber powered German quincy assholes.

And finally, has Ichigo FINALLY reached soul society?

One Piece 684: Stop It, Vegapunk
The battle between Vergo and Smoker commences!  We get a taste of their powers and it seems the mysterious Vergo is a master of Armament Haki, so it's going to be tough for even ol' Smokey.  Sanji is the only Straw Hat featured in this chapter, but it was hilarious enough to see his growing kinship with the Tashigi-chan fan club.  There was a little too much dialogue in this chapter as Caesar provides a step-by-step map breakdown.  BORING!!!

Caesar caps the chapter of with an emotionally charged "account" of the lead up to the explosion on the island 4 years ago.

Katekyo Hitman Reborn! 405: The Past and Future of Trini Sette

In the last chapter, we all got punked after Checker face revealed himself to be Kawahira san.  The seemingly harmless shop owner and noodle lover from the future.  His true identity/purpose as well as the Trini Sette (pacifiers, Vongola, Mare rings) seemed a little too "simple" for my liking.  This series seems to be rushing towards its end.  Tsuna reveals his gambit to save Reborn, which makes no sense since nobody really knew about the nature of the flame of night until everybody got their asses kicked by Jager.

Beelzebub 176: The Season's Already Winter

Furuichi prostrates himself infront of his peers and everything is hashed out.  After all the fighting and reminiscing, Oga and Furuchin are closer than ever.  The magical tissues are returned, but only after a longing hesitance from Furuichi.  I'll bet these tissues (or residual side effects) will make a cameo later on.

Fast forward, and the chapter takes on a lighter tone with the holiday season.  A little confusing since it's still October right now.  But the highlight of this chapter comes at the end when Hilda's amnesic side returns!

Here's a little meme I made (mememaker.net) for Obito as Naruto was by far the most interesting chapter this week

Tobi = Obito Trollface!
