[Official] Anime/Manga Thread


Recommended Posts

As far as ichigo's father goes, he was during the time i bet of when CC was just making it to his seat. His father was not there a hundred years ago for the vizards, and so far no one has shown any sign of recognition of the last name Kurisaki. If anything, Ichigo's father was of royalty, maybe not even seen by most people in Soul Society. I've always thought that Ichigo will be revealed to be the 5th hidden royal family bloodline.

Yeah I agree with that, I've always though Ichigo had to be of royal bloodline. There is evidence is several areas, one of them being that I don't believe Ichigo could have reached Bankai without being of royal bloodline so fast. Byakuya alluded to this when they were fighting each other.

Someone who's read the manga would know that better, but I think his dad was a captain in SS at one point, I don't think that Isshin is his son, I'm not sure though.

I hope they elaborate on either his power or his involvement with the Gotei 13.

He was former Captain of the "0th" squad, or had some close relations to those in that squad.

The thing I am not getting is how ichigo can become hallow.

I think Kisuke Urahara is responsible for this. After learning what Aizen did to the Vizards, he probably researched ways of trying to reverse it. But, probably ended up creating Ichigo's hallow form as with the powers of Sado and Inoue, subsequently.

All speculation, really. :/

Unless I'm mistaken nothing very much has been said about Ichigos father yet. Other than him and one other captain are the only original members of the Gotei 13 remaining(still alive). At least that's what I remember, not sure if it's correct yet.

In manga they said there are only 4 from the original "still" in gotei 13 one is Yamamoto, Shunsui, Unohana and Uktake. They didn't say anything about them being alive or dead. If ichigo's father was a captain or even a lieutenant, I think it would've been 10th divition since there's no info on who was the captain before toshiro.

In manga his father said that they couldn't find the ex-shinigami's hideout (I think it's hariko something, the group who taught ichigo how do be hollow).

As someone who never really was into Anime I have to say I absolutely LOVE Death Note (Y) although I am not finished with it yet (ep 25 or 26) it has def opened up my mind to other Animes :yes:

L as tragedy said is one of the best and well developed characters I have seen in any form of media (Y)

That is a good theory. Its something I hope they address for maybe the next "filler".

Naruto is out to DL as well.

I am downloadling that right now, I am surprise though that dattebayo releasing 89 eventhough they said they will be stopping as of 15. Don't care anyway, thank you db.

Hm...well...the HD streaming is pretty nice from crunchyroll, but definitely not worth it to pay 6 or was it 7 bucks a month? I'll just pretend like Naruto is not being shown for a week...then watch it once every week like I do now, so it's no big deal if it's delayed a week.

Anyways...boring Naruto episode this week. It seems like the next arc will be a filler arc but it might be interesting because it looks like Sasuke will be in it. We should all know where that leads.

Bleach chapter was great! i didn't think that guy would be the primera!

Naruto Spoilers!! it seems that Pain will make half the village blow up while standing right next to Tsunade. Shizune dies. Sakura survives cuz of the slug attached to her... and she cries and wonders when Naruto will save them. The reading for the next chapter says "Naruto's comes back!"

I don't think so he's just using her to get information (I think). If the writer did that that's way too much. I'm just wondering are you just predicting or you got legitimate source.

Also does anyone follows Xam'd: Lost Memories, I just watched 19th and I was like hell yeah :o .

It was confirmed. The spoilers for Naruto are true. I think 50% of the village has been destroyed. there will be a lot deaths.

for the future; we will see what happened to the eight tails and where he is. Raikage is coming to Konoha, Sasuke is also. Danzou might take over the village and get killed by Sasuke.

another thing is, in the chapter of Naruto. I think the toad says something about Naruto going there in time. Many people interpreted it as Naruto getting to Konoho ON time and some have made a reference on the Elder Toad being able to see through time. maybe there is a way for him to travel through time. Of course, this is unconfirmed. Just some theories. It struck me, might be true.

Woohoo, I was right. now at the end (before the last page), we can see on the before-last panel that something caught Pain's eye and it's a scroll. On the next page, we see Pain floating and then there's a pretty big summon that seems to have appeared in the middle of Konoha, the return of Naruto? perhaps a summon with Naruto on it? can't wait for next chapter. Also, it's weird that they would need the three toads to bring a summon, since they are powerful also. Naruto can call for Gamabunta... this summon is bigger than Gama?

Fcuk you're right. :o I'm blown away.

Its definitely going to be a massive/strong summon. I can only assume it will be Naruto and large part of the frog-community. :laugh:

edit: I agree with Sasuke killing off Danzou and the other two elders. Then he'd have his revenge pretty much... I think he isn't serious about following Uchiha Madara and get revenge against all of Konoha thing. Naruto is definitely going to have to kill off Pain, since he killed off Jiraiya.

edit2: I also think the power Itachi gave Naruto will explain why he did what to Sasuke. Since, all Sasuke knows now is the explanation given by Madara.

    • Microsoft Weekly: Surface Laptop Ultra, Windows 11 context menus, Build 2026 recap, and more by Taras Buria This week's news recap is here, with Microsoft announcing the new Surface Laptop Ultra, fresh chips from NVIDIA for Windows on ARM, a no-build week, fixes for Windows 11's context menus, gaming news, reviews, and more. Quick links: Windows 10 and 11 Windows Insider Program Updates are available Reviews are in Gaming news Great deals to check Windows 11 and Windows 10 Here, we talk about everything happening around Microsoft's latest operating system in the Stable channel and preview builds: new features, removed features, controversies, bugs, interesting findings, and more. And, of course, you may find a word or two about older versions. At Computex 2026, together with NVIDIA, Microsoft announced the Surface Laptop Ultra, its most powerful laptop to date, powered by NVIDIA's RTX Spark processor. Details about this computer are currently scarce, as Microsoft has only revealed certain parts of its specs. So far, we know that the computer has a 15-inch mini-LED display, a rich set of ports, a powerful processor, and all-day battery life. It also comes with a new wallpaper, which you can already download here in full resolution. The Surface Laptop Studio is not the only NVIDIA-powered Surface, which Microsoft unveiled this week. At Build 2026, the company also debuted the Surface RTX Spark Dev Box, an odd-shaped desktop with a 20-core NVIDIA Grace CPU and an NVIDIA Blackwell RTX GPU with 6,144 CUDA cores and fifth-generation Tensor Cores with FP4 precision, connected via the NVIDIA NVLink-C2C chip-to-chip interconnect for high performance. According to Microsoft, it can run models with up to 120 billion parameters locally without relying on cloud GPU infrastructure. These two new Surface devices are likely to cost quite a lot, and for those who need a more affordable device, Microsoft is preparing the next-gen Qualcomm-powered Surface Pro and Surface Laptop. This week, details about these two devices leaked in plenty of detail. Other announcements at Build 2026 include the following: Microsoft unveils new security tools for IT admins and developers building AI products Microsoft announces Scout, an OpenClaw-powered personal agent for enterprise customers Microsoft unveils MAI-Thinking-1 reasoning and MAI-Code-1 coding models Microsoft announced a new Windows 11 native command-line utility Microsoft unveils Majorana 2 quantum chip, accelerating commercial timeline to 2029 Microsoft believes that AI agents will eventually replace apps through Project Solara Microsoft introduces Web IQ, a Bing-powered search system built for AI agents Last week, Microsoft released a new Experimental build, which introduced a major Start menu upgrade. It now lets you toggle off specific parts of the menu without affecting other features, resize the menu, and hide additional UI elements. We published a closer look here, so if you want to know what Microsoft is cooking without enrolling in the Insider program and installing unstable builds, check it out. Speaking of new features, many users are very annoyed about the way Microsoft delivers them. Recently, a frustrated user shared their experience with gradual rollouts, and even Microsoft engineers admitted there is a flaw in the system that prevents new features from applying properly. One of those new features includes the ability to uninstall AI models in Windows 11 with a single click. Windows 11 is finally getting fixes for its slow context menus. Marcus Ash from Microsoft confirmed that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are going to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." According to Marcus, Microsoft will share more details soon. Windows Insider Program Windows 11 preview builds, released last week, are now available for download as standalone ISO files. These days, Microsoft regularly pushes new images, allowing users to clean-install its recent Windows 11 preview builds faster and easier. If you want to try the latest Windows 11 features without jumping through the Windows Update hoops, get those new images here. Sadly, Microsoft did not release new Windows 11 preview builds this week. Come back next time. Updates are available This section covers software, firmware, and other notable updates (released and coming soon) delivering new features, security fixes, improvements, patches, and more from Microsoft and third parties. Microsoft is preparing new features for Teams. Later this month, the messenger will receive a new download manager with auto-dismissing notifications, reducing clutter and making the overall experience less annoying when dealing with downloads. Mozilla released Firefox 151.0.3, a new bug-fixing update for the browser. It is a small release, which fixes problems with pasting into text fields and the oversized VPN button on the toolbar. The update is now available for all users in the Release channel. Here are other updates and releases you may find interesting: VS Code 1.123 introduces massive upgrades for persistent AI developer workflows Microsoft OneDrive is getting a simple yet much-needed feature Microsoft faces heat after quietly blocking promised Office features on Apple systems Microsoft resumes forced Copilot app installation on some Windows PCs Browser vendors pen an open letter to Microsoft, saying "enough is enough" Here are the latest drivers and firmware updates released this week: AMD Radeon Software 26.6.1 with optimizations for F1 25: 2026 Season, World of Tanks: HEAT, and various bug fixes. Reviews are in Here is the hardware and software we reviewed this week Steven Parker dropped more mini PC reviews this week. GEEKOM Air12 2026 Edition is a low-power, affordable computer with an Intel Tiger Lake Pentium Gold processor, up to 16GB of memory, and 512GB of storage, costing just $349. It is light, quiet, energy efficient, and has modern ports on the front. However, the front-facing USB Type-C is data-only, and there are some quirks with the computer's memory, so check out the full review. The AMD RX 9070 GRE has been released worldwide, and we published a benchmark review comparing this powerful graphics card to the RX 9070 XT, 7800 XT, the NVIDIA RTX 5070, and RTX 4070. It has solid, balanced performance, plenty of RAM, and low temperatures, but watch out for mediocre ray tracing performance and not the best efficiency. Also, we reviewed the Cuktech 10 Ultra, a compact, high-power charger with four ports and a big display full of various stats. This tiny charger can pull nearly 120W and spread that power according to each connected device's needs. It also comes with a high-quality 240W cable, three power modes, and retractable prongs. The best part? It is quite affordable, just make sure you have an outlet placed in the right spot to benefit from the built-in display. On the gaming side Learn about upcoming game releases, Xbox rumors, new hardware, software updates, freebies, deals, discounts, and more.

This week, ASUS revealed a new version of the device to celebrate twenty years of its Republic of Gamers brand. The new ROG Xbox Ally X20 features an OLED display, a transforming D-Pad, TMR sticks, and other changes. However, the chip inside the console is still the same. Forza Horizon 6 launched last month to critical acclaim, but the game will soon have a new rival made by those who used to work on Forza Horizon titles. Mike Brown from Maverick Games announced Clutch, an upcoming racing game with a story-driven campaign, deep car customization, and rich multiplayer.

    • Let's goooooooo! I've been loving the entries so far! I still have to finish Rebirth (things have been busy!)! Excited for this next installment.
    • "Revelation?" I was hoping for this episode to be called "Reunion". Oh, well... In a related note, the Final Fantasy VII compilation has received an EC entry, short for Ever Crisis. For those who don't know, it already had AC, BC, CC, and DC entries, short for Advent Children, Before Crisis, Crisis Core, and Dirge of Cerberus. I hope it doesn't get an FC entry becaude that would be a freakin' crisis.
