Bleach Manga - Chapter 304 (Battle of the barbarians)

Fuhh.... luckily they not gonna continue the last special edition chapter. As I suspected, Syazel is not dying yet. His technic quite good. He embed his genetic to his host n then take control of it. But Mayuri look so cool like nothing happen, maybe he already suspect that. I think he not regret that his vice captain a.k.a his daughter been used by Syazel, cosz she was Mayuri creation if I'm not mistaken... so that means Mayuri don't has a problem to create her back.

While the battle between Syazel and Mayuri still going on, Rukia has wake up from his faint. From the Byakuya word("what await us down the road, will test every fiber of our being) and face, he look worried. My instinct said they gonna face on of the Espada rank number 1 - 3, mmm maybe Halibel! Hopefully Kotetsu able to heal him in time.

On Ichigo, Zaraki n Nnoitra group, It seem the battle has begun, but they not cover much in this chapter, just Ichigo aski Orihime to heal Nel 1st before him.

Bleach Manga - Chapter 304

This week bleach manga is not a continue's from last week chapter. This week is about new blach movie review and it's more on 10th Division captain... you know who...

After read it, I exactly know why he able to be a captain even he still young. Hitsugaya has a great power inside him when he still child. Luckily Matsumoto meet him(if I'm not mistaken from the drawing) and she realise that Hitsugaya got a great power inside him that need to drown out. From this chapter also, I think he him self also want to be a shinigami but becoz of his gramma, he stay. But after he realise he endanger his own gramma whit his power, he follow Matsumoto suggestion.

Maybe on the next chapter it will continue the Hitsugaya story... Hmmm.. I wanna see Zaraki in action, need to wait lol!

Mayuri Kurotsuchi - The Madness Scientis!

It take day for me to think what to write. After read 2 3 times last manga chapter and some deep thinking, then I got the answer.... I'm gonna write about Mayu Kurotsuchi 12th Division in Gotai 13! why I choose to write about him this time, easy cos his new appearence! I try to do some research and find some answer on the web, but nothing much I get. Nevermind, a little bit info also count INFO rite.. maybe some of you know much, then you all can share it here...

Who is Mayuri?
Mayuri Kurotsuchi is 12th division in gotei 13 and 2 president of the Shinigami research institute after Kisuke Urahara, former captain and president. Mayuri character was created by Tite Kubo and his voiced by Ryusei Nakao(Japanese) and Terrence Stone(English). His zanlakutou name is Ashisogi Jizo.

From what I got from internet, Mayuri face like other human. He has blue hair and yellow eye when unmasked. I think unmasked not suitable, cos what I think he not wearing mask, that is his face now... He done many modification on his body, he no more normal shinigami. His ear can take off and used as weapon, so impossible when he take off his mask, his ear look normal as other else.... here some Mayuri pic start from his human face to latest 1. For the unmasked face, I'm not really sure is it true or not.... I just get it from wikipedia.



Mayuri has performed various experiments on himself, some of which include upgrading certain body parts to function as weapons or giving him otherwise useful abilities. His left arm can extend out like a grappling hook and he is able to pull part of his ear out to form a scythe attached to a rope-like ligament for use as a kusarigama. He can also blend into his environment with some sort of covering that flakes away once he reveals himself.

From last anime episode, on scene he fight with Ishida. Mayuri body able to tranform into liquid blob-like entity, unable to be attacked or attack when he is defeated. By stabbing himself with his zanpakutou he is later able to reconstitute himself, at which point his wounds are healed.

Kurotsuchi's last name is one of the few shinigami names in Bleach which uses kanji based on the meaning of the name and not the sound. 'Kurotsuchi' means black soil (kuro - black; tsuchi - soil).

History
From the wikipedia, it is mention that Mayuri succeeded Kisuke Uraha in leading the research institute as well as 12th division captain. Nah.. I don't think he great than Urahara.. Here my poin why Uraha great than him. 1st Urahara has created the Ord of Distortion. 2nd. Urahara has shorten the time frame from 3 month to 1 month only so the captain level can enter Hueco Mundo with full strengt. If Mayuri more genius than Kisuke, than he could suppress the time.

Mayuri Zanpakutou - Ashisogi Jizo
Mayuri Kurotsuchi's zanpakuto is Ashisogi Jizo ( Ksitigarbha's Killer Head, though it has been translated differently, Viz: Leg-Cutting Jizo ). Ksitigarbha is a bodhisattva that watches over children and the underworld. In Japan, where he is known as Jizo, he looks rather like a baby dressed as a Buddhist monk; Mayuri's zanpakuto has what looks like a giant baby's head on it. Its hilt is wrapped in cloth, and has several spiky protrusions sticking out right below the blade, which appear to resemble leaves. Unlike most shinigami, his zanpakuto's sheath hangs directly in front of him, instead of to his side as they are commonly worn. Ashisogi Jizo's shikai command is "rip" ( kakimushire, can also be translated as "scratch out", Viz: "go get him", English TV: "claw out").

In its shikai, Ashisogi Jizo transforms into a deformed trident with curved, serpentine blades and a guard shaped like a baby's head (as Ksitigarbha is depicted), all mounted on his sword's normal hilt. The baby's mouth secretes a poisonous vapor in this form. The weapon works like the venom of a spider bite; when an opponent is stabbed by Ashisogi Jizo, it severs the brain signals controlling the neural impulses for movement in the limb it strikes—simply put, it paralyzes whichever arm or leg it cuts. If struck on the spine, the victim is left unable to control any limb. Unlike regular paralysis, the pain receptors and nerve endings are unaffected by the weapon, so the victim can still feel pain, even in a paralyzed limb. During the Bount arc, it is shown that healing the stab wound does not immediately remove the inflicted paralysis.


Mayuri Kurotsuchi's bankai.Ashisogi Jizo's bankai, named Konjiki Ashisogi Jizo (Golden Ashisogi Jizo; Viz: Divine Leg-Cutting Jizo), returns Mayuri's zanpakuto to its sealed state and produces a giant caterpillar in a red cape with a grotesque baby's head and a silver halo. The creature breathes a poisonous derivative of Mayuri's blood which is lethal to anyone who breathes it, aside from Mayuri and Nemu. Numerous blades can also extend from its chest, allowing it to run through and skewer opponents. Only Mayuri has a cure for its poison, though Nemu usually carries it around.
