Kuwabara

I know that much, but still she isn't in the same league as Renji. Renji is a captain level fighter while Rukia is the level of a seated officer. I honestly think Renji is the most powerful lieutenant in Soul Society.

What move is that?

The term 'tech' is only used for Sage-mode, unless I'm wrong about it.

The move he used in the fight against Itachi, with the thunder clouds. Instead of using his own chakra he channeled an energy surge from the sky to power his final lighting attack.

I call every move in naruto 'tech'.

I also think that the fight between Naruto and Sasuke to not be that entertainment. Ever since Shippuuden began the fights haven't been as interesting as the fights from the regular Naruto. Kids who don't really know a lot about being a ninja put up better fights with the little that they know, as opposed to their older counter parts who know how to admit defeat.

I seriously doubt that Rukia will do a better job than Renji, I mean it's inot in the realm of impossibilities however it'll tick me off if she does. Of the 3 Renji is the most competent fighter and the most powerful, he should be able to due a better job than both Chad and Rukia.

Chad and Renji will get owned, and Ichigo will save the day.

And Ulquiorra must have been a -1 compared to Yami's 0 as he had a second sword release that even Aizen never saw or calculated into his espada numbering system.

If -they- don't beat him, I have already promised to swear off Bleach. I mean it is going to be a 3 on 1 and I don't care what number Yami is, fail is always fail!

Yeah, Ichigo cut the guy's arm off with ease. You'd think a guy that is the top espada wouldn't go around in such a weak form all the time. And the fact that he only transforms to the number 0 is by sleeping and eating alot for days in preparation for a fight is a serious weakness.

Yeah in honesty what a fail flaw, and being number 0, he is telling me he couldn't just teleport back to wherever Ishida dropped him from. Heck Ishida fighting Yami in a 1 on 1 battle would be pretty one sided.

I really hate the thought of Yami being stronger than what we thought him to be.

or naruto...

the endless emotional pain that was his young childhood

Naruto's emotional pain of having no friends is just over played. Throughout various flashbacks it shows Naruto had classmates as friends. The only reason I would think of them to stop hanging out with him is because he is a failure. Naruto's past changes waaaay too much to be taken into any account.

If anything, its a blood line limit that only became activated with intense emotional trauma? *shrug* As it would be a blood line limit, only Nagato or members of his family that have the ability in their DNA could use it, not just any random ninja. I actually think that Nagato's family, or at least one of his parents knew they had a rare blood line limit, but they weren't trained to be ninjas, so they never focused on it as a family. They probably just lived in a ninja village at war, like the ramen shop guy in Konoha... who probably died due to Pain's nuke attack.

Pain is a kid, so I am sure he didn't have any ninja training either, and after the dad died wouldn't his mother's renengan develop?

there will be a fight between them in the future. and well i just dont see why though, sasuke should have no ill will to naruto personally.

also given there current strength, naruto should squash sasuke

1/ kyubi's healing any narutos wounds

2/ naruto has way more chakra

3/ naruto in sage mode is super strong and fast

4/ the shuriken rasengan direct hit will kill any ninja

5/ shit hits the fan and 9 tails will eat sasuke

a genjutsu shouldnt work due to kyubiis stronger presence in naruto. from 4-6-9 tails in so few transformations shows kyubii and naruto's chakra are more alligned or what ever falls into that category

also in sage mode, naruto can sence chakra, so not using his eyes thus making the sharingan useless sholdnt be too difficult

just a shame that writer has naked sasuke pictures as his screen saver

besides, the creators love of Naruto, Sasuke was shown blowing the Kyuubi away from within Naruto IIRC. And having way too much chakra shouldn't be an issue, Sasuke's abilities are more deadly than Naruto's not to mention he has that one super move that requires no Chakra from the user.

Sasuke would bust out that black flame move and if it hit Naruto, its pretty much guaranteed to kill him. And Sasuke can summon that big giant sumo thing guy that could probably fight the 9-tails on even ground.

Yeah, Sasuke has all the tricks of the Mangyeko, not to mention that space time teleportation tech he used to escape deidera's attacl

The way I see it, he can't be that good if he is that huge, he's just a tank. Renji and Chad are going to struggle a bit with him and then kill him. I mean he is the perfect size Zabimaru to fight, as well as Chad's left arm of the devil. Chad and Renji spent all that time training at Urahara's; I'm sure they must have came up with atleast one super powerful unison move.

But atleast we're back to the Captains fighting. I hope Hitsugaya dies, so that soul society suffers atleast one loss. I know the Primera isn't going to beat Senshui. Baragan isn't beating Soi Fon.

I want to know how he got the rare Rinnegan versus knowing why he's emo. We know the Sharingan is hereditary, and neither of Pain's parents seemed to have the Rinnegan otherwise they wouldn't have died so easily, or at least would've used it. If Rinnegan falls back on the theory that it is activated when one feels the emotion of pain, it's a pretty stupid idea/ theory, because then (for example) every child who lost their parent(s) at ninja wars, etc. would have the Rinnegan, etc.

I agree, heck Iruka Sensei should've developed if, if that were the case.

So Yami is number 0. What a turn of events...

I could care less about Pain's past either. He's a douche, they apologized for killing his parents and yet he still nukes Konoha many years later.

Damn... now we ticked off the somalian pirates. I think that they will live up to their statement.

rotflmao. I hated all those movies. Wasn't Batman and Robin the one with the anatomically correct nipple suits?

For me its all about the women in the spandex. And I hope to god the new Wonder Woman movie uses the costume from comics or the justice league cartoon.

The Nipple suits were awesome!!! Even Batgirl had nipples on hers!

And ditto on the Wonder Woman suit! I will be highly upset if they give her Pants or Wonder Girls outfit!

and thus another war of attrition begins

War of Attrition? What's that?

That explains a lot... I thought they just killed his character off and fired him!

(I'm not a big superhero fan, something about the whole concept of men/women running around in spandex saving the world just doesn't do it for me)

Superman has a reason to! Not sure about the other ones though

WG is drawing both WB and Dragon in, and the reason for it we don't know YET. It's interesting though ... they have all the supernova's close by too (captured or not, we don't know yet).

Exactly, they are planning on dealing a huge blow the Golden Age of Piracy. I wouldnt be surprised if they bombarded WB and Dragon's crews with Pacifista's before they are engaged by the Admirals, VA's and the Warlords.

Kenpaichi would cut his arm off to fight a fair fight with someone

Wow... I am now gonna drive up in down the entirety of Miami to find me some BAWLS

Mine would have to be Batman and Robin! Mr. Freeze was just classic!

I think the WG has an Ace up their sleeve, no pun intended lol. I mean the supreme admiral or whatever knows that Ace is the son of Dragon as well as the "son" of whitebeard, so why would he do something that is basically suicide. Not to mention the strenghts of the Warlords we have yet to see in real combat such as Don Flamingo as well as Mihawk who is on par with an Emperor of the sea since he's Shank's rival.

I have a strong feeling that the WG might win this.

But he's not real, he's an Anime character lol

exactly! Their level of power is far beyond what we see as normal ninja or anbu...in fact in the current chapters Naruto seems to be far beyond Hokage level as well. I can only imagen what would happen if Sasuke and Naruto joined forces. They could esily take on the whole ninja world at this point .

I doubt it, Naruto still lacks the skill required to be a great ninja, all he has is power which before the past two arcs meant nothing.

This chapter was surprisingly long. Is it just me or Ichigo an idiot? There was no way in hell he would've defeated Ulq in an even fight. Take your victory don't cry about not how you wanted to win.

So now that the Ichi fight is over, we might get taken back to Kakura town?

I think their building Naruto's character up so they can get ready to kill him off at the end. Then a few months later (time skip) they will show his face added to the Hokage mountain as the next Hokage. People like Naruto and Sasuke have no place in that ninja world. Either they go into hiding as wonderers or they simply die protecting something special.

In what Ninja world? What do u mean?

You bring up a great point GG. With the use of Haki it would mean that he is that much closer to being as powerful as the rest of the higher ups in the one piece world. Now where does that leave the rest of his crew? They can't just sit back and expect Luffy to be doing all the work.

There is also a part of me that believes Zoro surpassed Luffy in strenght at the end of the Thriller bark arc and going into the Archipelego. With him being able to fight OZ on his own and do much better than anyone else besides shadow Luffy and on top of that he was able to take on all the damage that Luffy took on top of his and stay up until the rest of the Strawhats get up while the damage that luffy endured caused Luffy to pass out.

With that said if Luffy gets Haki he will surpass Zoro and be in a league of his own. And as showed by the other pirate crews we know that reside in the new world it's not just the captains strenght that matters but the strenght of the entire crew that allows them to survive!

Kenpaichi can't really sense energy remember. But you are right the other captains should be able to make it there in no time.

It's funny how pathetic Ulq is attacking Ichi from the back
