~Entering the Unknown~

Bleach #239:

Hinamori and Rangiku fought their Zanpakutou. With coordinated strengths, they overcame their Zanpakutou and won.

Meanwhile, Hitsugaya fought his Zanpakutou and related how he learned of his Zanpakutou's name when he was yet a Shinigami. Rangiku had then sensed his unhidden reiatsu and advised him of self control to save his grandmother's life. Back to present, Hitsugaya activated his Zanpakutou's ability using his own shiki and finally made his Zanpakutou regain his memory. Ichigo also broke through his ice prison using his bankai. In the woods, Musamura finally found the Hollow he wanted and drew the force within the Hollow into him.

Naruto Shippuuden Wallpaper again:

Cannot resist and do another Naruto Shippuuden wallpaper. I'll do one with Pein and others on the background next time.

Cannot resist and did another wallpaper.

Wish I can do a better one. I think I'm missing some details here.

Phantom – Requiem for the Phantom #18:

Reiji was shocked to see his house went up in flame with a piece of burnt Cal’s clothes drifting down. He shot the culprits who immediately took off. Other place, Scythe told the Inferno leader that McCuuen was the main culprit. Lizzie had also informed the leader that McCuuen had disappeared. The leader reassured Scythe that he would make sure she would not get into good end. Scythe would also send Ein to track down Reiji. A flashback, McCuuen invited Lizzie to join her in Inferno that was murderer of Romano to revenge Romano’s death. Back to present, Lizzie scolded McCuuen for being so rash. Other place, McCuuen called Reiji over the phone telling him that her plan was still on going with him and that she would escape to L.A. She wanted his help. Reiji thought of Cal. In a room, Ein was examining the bullet wound last caused by Reiji. Scythe was painting his mask near her. He commanded her to kill Reiji. She thanked him and left emotionlessly. Scythe believed Ein would sacrifice herself after killing Reiji. He believed it was the finale stage.

It was night when McCuuen was sitting in an inn as Lizzie went to meet her. Reiji meanwhile went to the warehouse where Ein first trained him in assassination. He entered the building. He thought of Cal and wondered what he was doing now. Daybreak, McCuuen drove the car, Lizzie next to her. They talked of what McCuuen was going to do with all those escaping. Meanwhile, Ein reached the warehouse. Same time, McCuuen was running along the seaside. Lizzie following behind her. McCuuen fell on her knees. Lizzie pointed her gun at her and scolded her for being an idiot. McCuuen apologised. Her necklace flew into the air. In the warehouse, Ein and Reiji faced off and fought with daggers. He suddenly called her Elen and pulled off her mask. She could not bring herself to stab him. Reiji told her that he was tired of being played with and also not able to protect someone he loved. He told her to kill him. He told her to live on. She took off her shirt and showed him the bullet wound that he had tried to heal to save her life. She told him that she could not forget his oath to tell her to live on. She had been living on because of him. She had lived dreaming of him, as she knew part of her was living freely. She told him to kill her first if he decided to break his oath. She begged him to kill her as she did not want to live a world without him. He wiped off her tears and promised to keep his promise. He wanted to take her from Scythe.

Other place, another man told Scythe that his plan did not go as planned. On the plane, another person was thinking of his elder brother he had killed. In the restaurant, Reiji managed to get two passports. On the street, he met Elen and watched the building where he bought a hand watch for Cal. He thought of her and knew he could not follow to where her place was as he had an unfinished business. In the ruins of his house, the music from the hand watch continued to play by itself.

Another Naruto Wallpaper:

Cannot resist again. The background may not be of high quality but I'm too inspired by the latest development of the manga.

Did another Naruto wallpaper again... Cannot resist it. Will probably do a group one if I've the idea..

Squeel~~~!!!

Did yet again another Naruto wallpaper because I'm so much in love with him.

Also check out a video of another character who is the seiyuu (Takeuchi Junko) for Naruto - Honjo Kamatari (Rurouni Kenshin). Interestingly, Kamatari is a gay. Wonder what will happen if Kamatari passes some of his/her gayness to Naruto. It's going to be a chaos if this happens.

Naruto Wallpaper:

Couldn't resist and did a Naruto wallpaper again.

And the spoiler for Issue #453 is also out.

Naruto Issue Spoiler #453:

Madara intercepted Sasuke's path to Konoha and told him that he failed capturing Kirabi who had tricked Sasuke and Team Taka with his part. Zetsu spilt into two bodies and also updated Madara and Sasuke that Danzou who was one of the three elders who forced Itachi to a corner had became the new Hokage. He also told them that Danzou was on his way to the Kage Summit. Sasuke was planning to kill the new Hokage - Danzou at the Summit. Madara stated that it was all because of Uzumaki Naruto (in his part to cause Pain's death) that he was forced to delay his plan. Zetsu commented that Naruto could be stronger than Sasuke as he was the one who defeated Nagato/Pain. The white Zetsu guided Sasuke and Team Taka to Danzou while the black Zetsu stayed with Madara.

Meanwhile, Sakura was upset over Sasuke's joining of Akatsuki. Naruto's face saddened at Sakura's despair. Also, Naruto, upon learning the Cloud ninjas' tales, agreed to go with Omoi and Kamui to find Kirabi. Kamui and Omoi were surprised to learn Naruto's name and Naruto's status as Jinchuriki (just like Kirabi). In the meantime, Gaara, Kankuro and Temari (finally!) also made their appearance in face of the Kage Summit.

Did 2 more Naruto Shippuuden wallpapers coz of my recent craze over the recent progress of anime and manga.

Love to see more characters gather together within one screen.

Seldom see the pic of Uchiha Madara who reveals his real face as well as Pain so I quickly merge them with that of Uzumaki Naruto's.

Still cannot get over Naruto Shippuuden, especially Uzumaki Naruto, so I did two wallpapers of him...

Prefer the first wallpaper of Naruto with the Akatsuki members though.

I'm still waiting for Sasuke and other Hawk members to appear in anime version.

Because of Naruto Shippuuden, I was re-checking Flame of Recca, another manga that also focuses on Fire ninja clan. The anime content has stopped till issue #150 of manga plot which ends around #350s. Apparently, the main villain enterprise boss assassinated Kurei - Recca's half brother who had lost to Recca in the tournament at a cliff and the boss had created a group of assassins as well as a clone girl from Kurei's gene. Meanwhile, Recca's team 'Hokage' won the overall tournament and left for home and school in victory. Before his departure, Recca noticed someone who appeared cool and powerful and wondered why such powerful looking person was there.

I'm going to check out issue #158 (after the Tournament Arc) next weekend while watching Naruto Shippuuden anime at slower pace since I'm closer to the more recent episodes.
