“I saw Fight Club, I know how to end this!”
The story between Fumi and Mika is similar to the movie Fight Club. They both started out with the main characters having subconsciously created an altered ego of themselves that was the opposite of their own personalities in order to enable them to deal with [...]

“The subprime mess turned me into a Vizard.”
Breaking away from Bleach traditions, this chapter takes a flashback without being in the middle of a big fight. The flashback is on the day of inauguration of the new 12th Division Captain Kisuke Urahara one century ago. What is interesting is that only 5 of [...]

The imagination of true heart is about setting forth a premise before a cast of fictional characters and then allowing them, through their individual personalities, to dictate the course of the story. No Cinderella ending nor Deus ex machina. It is about the discovery of some hidden truth inside our heart.

“I miss me so much!”
This episode is mostly a setup episode for the final stretch of Shigofumi. As it turns out, Fumika’s gun is also Fumika’s Shigofumi. This explains why there is a stamp on the gun. However, it is pretty confusing to me as to who sent the gun as Shigofumi [...]

Loli’ Fumika is so adorable.
Human has a field of view of about 46°. That’s just a little more than 1/8 of the entire field. Of course, if we would just turn our head, we would gain the other 7/8. However, us human are often so occupied with the 1/8, that we’ve become [...]

Damn! Even our backs are sexy.
I haven’t felt this excited about Bleach for a long time. Finally, the little kids are benched on the sideline, and the real men are stepping in to show how the real game is played.
