Quote:What, you mean the clue about Yuuko's own hitsuzen coming around in chapter 5 wasn't enough to suggest that, yes, Watanuki would be making further appearances?
I *am* a bit disappointed that you seem to have written out Watanuki (he and Yuuko just go together sooo well (not to mention I like Deadpan Domeki)), but I can live with it.
Quote:Only focusing on the 'core cast' in this one. She _did_ stay friends with Tatsuki, though ... make of that what you will.
A lack of Orihime (as I suspect will be the case) bugs me more, but again, this story is just to cracky to pass up.
Quote:He deserves that much after pulling the blatant idiocy that was that whole Hollow hunting contest at the very least.
Where's Uryuu? Oh, wait -- he won't have motive to show up until... oh. Oh, dear. If Uryuu's vendetta leads him into going after Ichigo's sister the way he originally went after Ichigo... yikes. I hope things work out, since I like Uryuu, but I suspect poor U's gonna get beat to a *pulp* first....
Quote:Cats aren't gender-neutral (at least, not in real life they're not ^_^), so it's not as if it's a _difficult_ thing to figure out that Yoru-neko, voice aside, isn't exactly qualified to be a male of the species.
One thing I did notice: from the beginning, it seemed as if everyone referred to Yoruichi-neko as "she," even before she pulled her first transformation. *I*, at least, got the impression that Y-neko keeps her female voice, rather than the male on s/he uses in canon. Am I right, or did I simply miss some cues?
Quote:Zangetsu? What is this Zangetsu you speak of? This Ichigo isn't canon!Ichigo, his life hasn't been much like the life of canon!Ichigo, and so the mirror of his soul isn't going to be all too much like canon!Ichigo's. Let me put it like this - the shikai still includes an oversized blade ... it basically oversizes the balisong until it's of a more impressive size. A bigass balisong with a Damascus-steel blade. I think you can guess the personality from there. It _is_ pretty damn obvious.
So... is the butterfly knife Zangetsu's un-released form? Since cannon big-cleaver Z is, IIRC, in a constant state of Senkai and never "at rest." Or does Ichigo have an entirely different zanpaktou this time around for reasons yet to be revealed? Inquiting Minds Want To Know!
Quote:Yeah, those were basically the side effect of Urahara fucking around when he was trying to make Ichigo get his Shinigami groove back on. Not happening in this one. Considering who he's been training with, it's not like he needs them.
Speaking of which... I wonder how Ichigo's *other* powers (the Hollow-ish ones) are going to play out in this venue...?
