Bleach Chapter 43 Discussion

----------------------------------------

                        Oh wa??? What the hell... How come the girl have such a powerful bunch of fairies that can fight for her huh?? What a surprised.... Never expected such things from Orihime's super hairpins....  TO Repel, to Heal and to Attack,... Man those things are really valueable.... They shouldn't be taken easily... If Orihime is pissed, those things can really can kick your ass and kill you XD... I'm surprised that she really has such abilities.... And they are with her thanks to Ichigo? Wasn't her bro who gave her the pins? Oh well... Nice chapter... The hairpins transforming was random... and I liked it XD

Poor Orihime, quite a difficult power to use for the first time. Did she and Chad get their powers thanks to Ichigo? This is interesting.

Interesting volume focusing on the only classmates I actually like, Orihime and Chad. The fact that Ishida destroyed every Hollow within seconds after they appear, but conveniently misses those two just to permit character development bugs me a little bit. That’s how shonen work after all, so I don’t have to complain.

Orihime got her powers and saved the day, well done!

Yay, We now know about Orihime's powers from her hairclips. And at the end we see Urahara with Chad.

Omg I swear I didn't remember these weird ass fairy guys lmao

Wow, now that was a surprise and an awesome one at that. Her power was much stronger than expected. It is starting to look like maybe this battle will be worth it in the end because now the characters will somewhat be able to team up and help each other maybe. I just can not get over how unexpected that was.A little to unexpected...Plot armour saves the day.

Orihime's power is very interesting to say the least. She can both protect and heal, and has a small offensive capability. In other words would make for a perfect healer, wow.  

This chapter only really exists to give us an understanding of Orihime's battle capabilities, and considering it's more specific than punch things, there's more of an need to explain. I do appreciate the idea of personifying her powers with personalities to make the affair more entertaining and less of just an info dump on her abilities, but I'd be lying if I say it accomplished that fully. Still mostly read like a power info dump.



Beyond that, end of volume, so more theme songs. Uryu Ishida's is Radiohead's, "Idioteque". Wasn't expecting Radiohead and certainly wasn't expecting a Radiohead song to sound like that. This is so sonically different from "Creep" that I was taken back. Love it though. Don Kanoji's is George Bizet's "Farandole", didn't see classical music coming either, but again I appreciate the variety in musical selection here.

Apparently Orihime got abilites. This feature saves the chapter but other than that nothing much just her defieting the hollow with her little people lol
