Heh. If somebody thinks nazis are back in power after 60 years because there's such a symbol in Japanese animation... Well, such a person should spend the rest of his life in his personal bunker.

Unfortunately censoring swastika will do no good like masamuneehs said. As long as it's censored, it does give some little power to nazis, which is a bit ridiculous considering they were obliterated more than half a century ago.

Who cares? Not censoring it is not sticking it to the Nazis or anything, and censoring it doesn't show that they sill hold some sort of power over us. Not showing it may show respect to the people that lost family members to the evil doings of the Nazis, not some how empower Hitler. It isn't like we fear them and as such don't want to invoke their mighty wrath by using their symbol.

My point? Who cares? If you aren't related to those that died chances are you won't. The fact that you feel that people should some how correct misuse of the symbol then chances are you care too much about something that you have nothing to do with. Not that I care, go draw it all over your flowery save the world websites and/or art if you want to show them darn Nazis up some more!

I doubt they will even censor this.

So you think they're gonna do fillers about Ichigo's training? Something like 24 where every hour is an episode. Zengetsu makes Ichigo do all these tricks and at the end he just laughs and says: "Psych! I'm just messin' with ya. To use Bankai, you just have to look like you're shittin your pants. And here, use this thin black sword. It's so light, you'll move 100 times faster than before now that you don't have to lug around that steal mill of a soul slayer." Then Zangetsu and Yorouichi get it on.

Well apparently it is a problem for some people. Bud already mentioned the Neji thing, and I also recall there being a problem with the US release of some Pokemon card a few years back because it had a swastika (or a mangi - forgot which) on it.

Haha, I was enlightened enough to refer to it as a manji first.

Thank you Legend of Zelda instruction book!

I'm gonna go murder a bunch of babies and leave pictures of Frog around when I do it. Then you'll look like an evil monster for having that avatar!

I personally thought that swastika was a nice touch to the sword.

(not rascist)


But allow me to sum up this episode in 2 words:

Fucking Tits.

lol just wat i was thinking, this whole thing has gotten out of hand, i shouldn't even have said anything about that stupid nazi/swastika or watever sign thingie, i thought it would just make a funny joke, but watever, just let it go and move on now
@deadfire: don't worry i respect you and read your posts, you seem to give some good stuff and good posts, others probably read your posts too, i think you're a great addition to the gotwoot family [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]

now back to topic, this episode kicked ass, ichigo's bankai looks better in the anime than in the manga, i was really surprised at how good this episode was, can't wait for next episode, senbonzakura still rulezzzzzz

Actually the manji (NOT swastika) on Ichigo's bankai was being discussed. I merely brought up the fact that if the series is ever televised here, there might be trouble because there are a lot of people out there willing to jump to conclusions and assume it IS a swastika. You started talking about fillers. I'm sorry no one else wanted to.

I'm starting to agree. Making it straighter makes it seem stronger somehow 0.o. Nice change IMO.
