[color=forestgreen]Level: 44 (11%)[/color] ~ Well everyone, in just a few more days the Naruto Shuppuden dub will premiere on Disney XD, with the first four episodes thrown out at once. I don't have much confidence that Disney XD will take it easy with edits, but I still have hope that it'll be good. As a result of the Naruto Shippuden dub premiering this Wednesday and a new episode airing every Wednesday after that, I'm going to start doing Naruto Shippuden Dub updates in my weekly anime/manga updates.:D I probably won't be able to post episode pictures like with the Pokemon episodes since I have no idea where I can find them, but I'll still do the updates anyway.;) In the mean time, though, it's time for this week's updates. Since there was no new Naruto chapter last Thursday, no new Naruto Manga Update will be included. Also, the latest Bleach chapter apparently has no title, which is why I just put the chapter number.

Chapter 379

After striking a direct hit upon Yammy with a black Getsuga, Ichigo leaves his Hollow form. Rukia notices that the markings on Ichigo's mask look much different than the slight variations of before, and wonders what happened to him. Ichigo himself feels like his Hollow transformation felt a bit off, almost as if the mask was heavier; and wonders if it has to do with his full Hollow transformation back in his battle with Ulquiorra. Before he can finish thinking, however, Yammy gets up, angry that Ichigo nicked his neck. Ichigo is shocked that his black Getsuga did only that much damage, and Yammy points out that he's the Cero Espada, Espada #0, stronger than any of the other Espada.

Still confident that he can win, Ichigo declares that if he has to win, he will, just as he did with the other Espada. The two engage in battle once more, but when Ichigo attempts to Hollowfy again, he's stunned that the attempt fails, and wonders if this has to do with the feeling he had before. Yammy instantly takes advantage of the opening and grabs Ichigo, ready to kill him. Before he can do so, however, Byakuya and Kenpachi arrive at the scene just in time to save Ichigo, and ready to join the fight...

Awesome chapter, as some mysteries regarding Ichigo's Hollowfication have emerged. And now that Byakuya and Kenpachi have joined the fight, things are bound to get even more intense.:D

Pokemon Dub Episode Update

DP129 - Pillars of Friendship!

Paul and Brandon have just finished their battle, but a distressed Maria, the maiden of the Snowpoint Temple, arrives to tell everyone that something is wrong at the temple. Ash, Brandon, and the others immediately embark for the temple, and on the way, Brandon tells Ash and comp. the legend of Regigigas and the Snowpoint Temple, and how Regigigas does actually exist. When they arrive at the Snowpoint Temple, they find none other than Pokemon Hunter J, who apparently came to capture Regigigas. Ash and the others do their best to stop J from reawakening the Colossal Pokemon, but after being held back by a hoard of Metang and Skarmory belonging to J's henchmen, they come too late, as J has her Salamence destroy the pillars of rock, ice, and steel, and attack the blue orb, to reawaken Regigigas.

Angry about its slumber being disturbed, Regigigas goes on a Hyper Beaming rampage, causing the temple to collapse before J gets a chance to capture it. Brandon decides that he has to catch Regigigas himself, and attacks with Regirock, Regice, and Registeel at the same time. Unfortunately, however, Regigigas' power overwhelms the three Legendary Golems, and even worse, it uses Confuse Ray to take control of them. With the Golems by its side, Regigigas continues its rampage, with Ash and the others forced to not only find a way to stop it before it reaches the nearest town, but to protect it from J at the same time...

Great episode; plenty of action, and seeing J's return and the debut of Regigigas added to the awesomeness.

Episode 132 - In Attendance, the Six Paths of Pain

Upon summoning Fukasaku and Shima and transforming into Sage Mode, Jiraiya fishes out Pain and deals some damage. Before he can do anything else, however, Pain summons two more Pains, whom to Jiraiya's shock both possess the Rinnegan. With the helf of the Elder toads, Jiraiya goes on the offensive, but the big Pain is able to absorb even his most powerful ninjutsu, including the Chou Odama Rasengan. Jiraiya then reverts to taijutsu, but even when aims at the enemy's blind spot, Pain is always able to counter him or dodge. Having no other choice, Jiraiya retreats in order to strategize.

While running in a direction away from Pain, Jiraiya discusses with Fukasaku and Shima Pain's abilities. They come to the conclusion that since all three Pains have the Rinnegan, they're all able to see what one another see, which allowed them to counter or dodge Jiraiya's attacks without having to look. Since both ninjutsu and taijutsu don't work, the only option left is genjutsu, which Jiraiya knows that Nagato knows he's not good at. Using that to their advantage, Jiraiya has Fukasaku and Shima perform their ultimate genjutsu. The technique gives their position away immediately, but with a bit of strategizing, the attack works, and all three Pains get caught in the genjutsu.

Jiraiya uses this opportunity to kill all three, saddened that his former pupil chose the wrong path. But the battle is far from over, as Pain catches Jiraiya by surprise and knocks him outside, cutting off his left arm in the process. Pain then reveals that there's six of him, and the three who were still alive revived the other three. Still confused about the Akatsuki leader's true identity, Jiraiya is forced to take on the Six Paths of Pain in full glory...

Awesome episode, as the action-packed battle between Jiraiya and Pain continues. And with all six Pains now taking part in the fight, the action is bound to get even more intense.
