Bleach 91 Discussion

Normally people who use other people as food are considered somewhat evil. They didn't even just eat their enemy warriors like primitive tribes but random folks from the streets. Arbitrary killing of civilian masses is most probably one of the strongest indications of true evilness. You don't really need more proof than that, do you?

really... seems more like a group of people wanting to survive. that's the way i see it.We kill monkeys to find cures to diseases... its the same thing.

[Kraco]

So you say killing animals and killing people is the same thing?

I very much think you are just saying that here. If some dude with a rifle came to hunt your family for food, I think you wouldn't make statements like that anymore.

That would depend on who the people were.

I'm half kidding...

however, if some guy came to hunt my family for food... well, I have no idea what my reaction would be (join the feast? or eat the guy?). it never happened before, but i'm nearly certain i wouldn't have a passionate "defend my family at all costs" thing. If the guy is hungry and that's the only thing he can eat, i will still understand his position even though it might be in conflict with mine. And my views won't change because something has happened to me. They'll change only if i decide the change makes life more interesting.

also... you guys should check some science forums... people there are advocating killing children OVER animals (its taken out of context here, in reality its not as bad as this sounds)... with some interesting arguments.

I don't want to join a chorus of whiners, but I really don't like the way they are handling the main characters in these filler episodes. Ichigo is especially unlikeable and completely off-character from the SS days. It seems like the episodes without Ichigo are much better than the ones with him. Inoue is obnoxious too, whereas she used to be really likeable.

That said, 91 was a decent episode, with some good story movement. Ichigo finally gets bankai back, but in a rather weak re-hash of how he acquired it in the first place. I guess it took him a while to find his resolve to stop getting his ass kicked. Was it me or did the bulk of his lines seem to be "bastard", "I won't forgive you", "*calling out someone's name*", and "what"? I was going to make a mix track of him repeating these four lines over and over (but to a danceable beat), but it pissed me off too much.

[Mizuchi]

can bankai get stronger?

[dragonrage]

yes they can. With training, greater spirit force and other things. Also control of one's power goes along way too. This has been demonstrated by Ichigo and renji in the past as well as other shinigamis

[Animeniax]

Yeah, plus back when Byakuya and Renji were fighting in SS, and Renji was first using bankai, Byakuya said there was no way his 2 days using Bankai could compare with 1000 years of training with Bankai. The more you use it, the better you can control it and master it.
