Man, I don't know why you guys hate Kubo so much. It's not like Bleach is as bad as, say, Medaka Box.

I would hate Medaka Box if there wasn't Kumagawa.

As a standalone chapter, it's pretty underwhelming. Tournament arcs are ridiculously cliche, so it feeling like a set up for one sounds dreadful. Also, it looks like Luffy cares about Ace's fruit (at least, that's the set up, still not sold on it) which is kind of weird to me.
I wouldn't be surprised if Luffy just went in and blasted his way through.
On the other hand, this fairy line + Zorro and Sanji on their own has me very excited. Looking forward to that much more than yet another Colosseum.
In the end, this chapter will be held up by what happens in the next ten. Nothing ground breaking, just more set up. Usually though, it's set up I'm pumped about.

How was this comment "hating" ?
It's not like anyone, except Big One, actually thinks Bleach is one of the worst manga ever or anything.
Bleach wishes it could be as bad as Air Gear or Rage Town.

Nah, I tried, but I can't swallow food manga. Demons or no demons.

Neat. War games are vastly more interesting than the content of the last 10ish chapters.

Well we don't know what attachment he has to it. We only know it has some effect on him. For all we know he could just want it to toss it into the sea so no one else can use it. Yeah, he's had his time to get over Ace's death but people here act like he's too stupid to feel anything by the only memento he has of Ace

I was thinking about starting it. Ugh, demons. No more demons or monsters or other fantasy crap for now for me.

For some reason I find it funny how arbitrarily they just expel everyone.
I'm not sure who Evil Student is supposed to be though. Was he the guy who tried to ruin his French pork thing? Also, Tadokoro.

I don't read Medaka Box.
And Bleach is still good enough to laugh at it without getting angry by being reminded of how bad it is.
... like FT.

I wasn't really talking TO you, more just quoting it because it vaguely had something to do with Bleach's writing. It was just a joke for people that do read MB.

This is honestly what I would put the most money on. I don't see Oda following the rules on any cliche as it stands, he usually doesn't. One of my favorite parts of his writings is he always has a great take on standards from the past and it usually comes off as really fresh.

? I thought the general trend of most tournament arcs is to have something take place preventing them from even finishing the tournament. Either way, a tournament arc is just rather really predictable.
Nobodies going to hug Red Grimace. Dudes a communist.

Fairy Tail plowed on through the tournament regardless.
Normally tournament arcs get interrupted if there isn't a relevant enough prize at the end.

This, from what I can remember anyways. What all has tourny arcs? I can think of Yu-Yu, HxH, DBZ, Fairy Tail . . what am I missing? That's what I remember from the top of my head. (did not count any pokemon or yugioh, or series that pretty much are all just tourny arcs)

Naruto had a psuedo tourny with the chunin exam arc

Toriko's current arc started as a tourny, but erupted into chaos when the main villain group attacked.
Did Reborn have a tourney? It's generic enough to have one.

Why did you have to bring that back up :/
Yea.
That's where the best character appeared and ultimately never came back.

Flame of Recca also had a tourney.
But if Japan did it we would get bishounen Grimace and Hamburglar.

Right, right. How could I forget that?
The rest listed I haven't read or seen. I think Yostuba and Toriko are my next reads.
Which one? The 20yo Lambo (or whatever his name was)?

If that thing was pink tan, or brown there would be... Misinterpretations.
I agree then.
Too bad this cant be used as an avatar. I had something like this a while back and a mod told me to take it down.> everything.

Neither Hashirama or Tobirama die at this point. I'm guessing Tobirama brings Izuna back to appease Madara. In fact, Izuna probably is the reason Madara knows how to free himself from the user of Edo Tensei.

One Piece:
Oh god no, please don't actually do a Tournament Arc. Please no. Just, make Luffy and Co accidentally knock out like 90% of the contestants and just fight some other dude until plot shows up. Or if it really is just the 5 shown, make it just one big fight with the crew.

I never thought about Ronald x America pairing before. Crack enough to work.
