Bleach (Chapters 5-7) - Review

Chapter 5
Only spirits (and probably Ichigo's family) can see Shinigami. But why can Orihime see Ichigo? 

It's because Orihime is already dead. 

Orihime's brother is not an easy foe this time. Ichigo has a hard time against him.

Ichigo is grumpy when he wakes up.
Orihime recognised her brother and asked him why he beats Ichigo and Tatsuki.



That's a petty reason. Sora's jealousy over Orihime's friendship with Tatsuki and crush on Ichigo was what caused him to Hollowfy.

Well, your brother was dead. There was no way he could say he was sad.

As demonstrated by Sora Inoue, no matter how genuinely nice or sweet or loving a person was in life, hollows are overwhelmed by spiritual corruption and negative emotions and transform into a bloodthirsty, ravenous monster driven by base instincts.

Ichigo believes the oldest brother is born first to protect all the siblings that follow, so he has big issues with older brothers that put their siblings in danger, as he makes clear to Sora for his mistreatment of Orihime. Ichigo is also the oldest brother in his family, so he is also very protective about his little sisters, Yuzu and Karin.


Chapter 6
Orihime's life is tragic.


Sora decided to kill Orihime as he can't have her all for himself.


WHAT THE FUCK?

"I wanted you to hear all the fun things that happened at school. The things I like. The people I like. At the beginning all I did was pray everyday. But I thought that that wasn't good. That I shouldn't just show you me being sad. That you would worry if that's all you saw. That's why I wanted to show you! That I'm happy! That you don't have to worry about me! But that that was making you sad... I didn't even realize... Brother... I'm sorry for making you sad... I love you." Orihime Inoue
Orihime's speech was so beautiful. She's a nice person.

Fortunately, Orihime can still be saved.

 Sora was the one who gave Orihime the hairpins and he was the only family Orihime had.

Sora suppresses his Hollow instincts long enough to remove the rest of his mask, and impales himself with Ichigo's Zanpakuto.

Please be careful with what you say to someone because you never know those could be your last words to one another! You don't want to live with regrets!


RIP Sora. You and Orihime deserved better. Sora was a great character for the short panel time he got. He’s the first one who taught us that Hollows have personality, motivation and emotions.


Rukia has a tool to change people's memories. But the new memories are... weird.

And that's the end of the arc with Orihime's brother! 


Chapter 7
Let's go for a new arc!

Wow Chad is ridiculously strong for a human. I don't see how you can even survive that.
The parakeet can talk and his name is Shibata Yuuichi. 

Chad likes the parakeet and decided to keep the bird with him.

Rukia is so clueless about the ways of the modern Human World. She is also very cute.

Because of his orange hair, a lot of people assume Ichigo to be some delinquent.

Surpringly Mizuiro, one of Ichigo's friend, is a womanizer! And he prefers older women. 

Keigo is another friend of Ichigo. He is the butt-monkey of the group. He is goofy and funny, I like him.
Notice that Mizuiro and Keigo think Ichigo and Rukia are together, and neither Ichigo nor Rukia deny it.

Chad is also Ichigo's friend.

He had many accidents but still survived without any issue. That's impressive.

Chad is surpringly funny! I love all Ichigo's friends! 

Some time later, Chad had to go to Kurosaki clinic.  

And he is severely wounded. What the hell happened?

New arc. New hollow. New characters introduced. Stay tuned for next volume!
