Level: 44 (11%) ~ Well everyone, in just a few more days the Naruto Shuppuden dub will premiere on Disney XD, with the first four episodes thrown out at once. I don't have much confidence that Disney XD will take it easy with edits, but I still have hope that it'll be good. As a result of the Naruto Shippuden dub premiering this Wednesday and a new episode airing every Wednesday after that, I'm going to start doing Naruto Shippuden Dub updates in my weekly anime/manga updates.
I probably won't be able to post episode pictures like with the Pokemon episodes since I have no idea where I can find them, but I'll still do the updates anyway.
In the mean time, though, it's time for this week's updates. Since there was no new Naruto chapter last Thursday, no new Naruto Manga Update will be included. Also, the latest Bleach chapter apparently has no title, which is why I just put the chapter number.

Chapter 379
After striking a direct hit upon Yammy with a black Getsuga, Ichigo leaves his Hollow form. Rukia notices that the markings on Ichigo's mask look much different than the slight variations of before, and wonders what happened to him. Ichigo himself feels like his Hollow transformation felt a bit off, almost as if the mask was heavier; and wonders if it has to do with his full Hollow transformation back in his battle with Ulquiorra. Before he can finish thinking, however, Yammy gets up, angry that Ichigo nicked his neck. Ichigo is shocked that his black Getsuga did only that much damage, and Yammy points out that he's the Cero Espada, Espada #0, stronger than any of the other Espada.
Still confident that he can win, Ichigo declares that if he has to win, he will, just as he did with the other Espada. The two engage in battle once more, but when Ichigo attempts to Hollowfy again, he's stunned that the attempt fails, and wonders if this has to do with the feeling he had before. Yammy instantly takes advantage of the opening and grabs Ichigo, ready to kill him. Before he can do so, however, Byakuya and Kenpachi arrive at the scene just in time to save Ichigo, and ready to join the fight...
Awesome chapter, as some mysteries regarding Ichigo's Hollowfication have emerged. And now that Byakuya and Kenpachi have joined the fight, things are bound to get even more intense.

Pokemon Dub Episode Update
DP129 - Pillars of Friendship!
Paul and Brandon have just finished their battle, but a distressed Maria, the maiden of the Snowpoint Temple, arrives to tell everyone that something is wrong at the temple. Ash, Brandon, and the others immediately embark for the temple, and on the way, Brandon tells Ash and comp. the legend of Regigigas and the Snowpoint Temple, and how Regigigas does actually exist. When they arrive at the Snowpoint Temple, they find none other than Pokemon Hunter J, who apparently came to capture Regigigas. Ash and the others do their best to stop J from reawakening the Colossal Pokemon, but after being held back by a hoard of Metang and Skarmory belonging to J's henchmen, they come too late, as J has her Salamence destroy the pillars of rock, ice, and steel, and attack the blue orb, to reawaken Regigigas.
Angry about its slumber being disturbed, Regigigas goes on a Hyper Beaming rampage, causing the temple to collapse before J gets a chance to capture it. Brandon decides that he has to catch Regigigas himself, and attacks with Regirock, Regice, and Registeel at the same time. Unfortunately, however, Regigigas' power overwhelms the three Legendary Golems, and even worse, it uses Confuse Ray to take control of them. With the Golems by its side, Regigigas continues its rampage, with Ash and the others forced to not only find a way to stop it before it reaches the nearest town, but to protect it from J at the same time...
Great episode; plenty of action, and seeing J's return and the debut of Regigigas added to the awesomeness.

Episode 132 - In Attendance, the Six Paths of Pain
Upon summoning Fukasaku and Shima and transforming into Sage Mode, Jiraiya fishes out Pain and deals some damage. Before he can do anything else, however, Pain summons two more Pains, whom to Jiraiya's shock both possess the Rinnegan. With the helf of the Elder toads, Jiraiya goes on the offensive, but the big Pain is able to absorb even his most powerful ninjutsu, including the Chou Odama Rasengan. Jiraiya then reverts to taijutsu, but even when aims at the enemy's blind spot, Pain is always able to counter him or dodge. Having no other choice, Jiraiya retreats in order to strategize.
While running in a direction away from Pain, Jiraiya discusses with Fukasaku and Shima Pain's abilities. They come to the conclusion that since all three Pains have the Rinnegan, they're all able to see what one another see, which allowed them to counter or dodge Jiraiya's attacks without having to look. Since both ninjutsu and taijutsu don't work, the only option left is genjutsu, which Jiraiya knows that Nagato knows he's not good at. Using that to their advantage, Jiraiya has Fukasaku and Shima perform their ultimate genjutsu. The technique gives their position away immediately, but with a bit of strategizing, the attack works, and all three Pains get caught in the genjutsu.
Jiraiya uses this opportunity to kill all three, saddened that his former pupil chose the wrong path. But the battle is far from over, as Pain catches Jiraiya by surprise and knocks him outside, cutting off his left arm in the process. Pain then reveals that there's six of him, and the three who were still alive revived the other three. Still confused about the Akatsuki leader's true identity, Jiraiya is forced to take on the Six Paths of Pain in full glory...
Awesome episode, as the action-packed battle between Jiraiya and Pain continues. And with all six Pains now taking part in the fight, the action is bound to get even more intense.

And that concludes this week's anime/manga update. This has been pikastatic100, over & out! See ya!
Level 44 (8%) ~ Alright everyone, it's time for a very special blog entry! The entire thing will be more pictures than words, but I do have some things to say. First of all, the occasion that I mentioned in my previous blog entry is: this is my 300th blog entry! Since school started I haven't been able to blog as much as I used to, but I've finally reached the big 300. ^_^ Only one person PM'ed me a guess, and though it wasn't exactly right, he was very close in his second guess, so congrats to spirit7someguy *gives a virtual cookie*.
Now then, I know that I also haven't been using those Naruto emoticons that much, so get ready for 100 of them.
(I'd use 300 but I don't want to risk a blog meltdown, if you know what I mean )
There is one more thing to mention. It just so happens that today is my 1-year, 1-month, 1-week, 1-day Anniversary on TV.com (Thus all the "ones" in the blog title ). Because of that, I thought today would be the perfect day to post my 300th blog entry on. The fun isn't over yet, though, as I now bring you five each of lolcat and fail pics!
And that's all for today's blog special; I hope you liked it. This has been pikastatic100, over & out! See ya!
Level: 44 (8%) ~ I know that Part 2 is later than usual, but better late than never. Anyway, it's not really much of an announcement that I have to make; it's just that my blog title was limited in space and I wanted to get your attention. First of all, I'm going to be putting an asterisk ( * ) in the title of my anime/manga updates from now on if I have something to mention besides just the usual updates. If it's more than just that, however, I'll try to put it in the title like I did with my previous blog entry.
The other thing I have to mention is that I'm going to host a little game right now. I'm planning on doing something special in my next blog entry (I can't promise it, though), and I'd like you to take a guess at what the occasion is. If you think you know, send me a PM telling me, and if you're right, you get a virtual cookie and a mention in that blog entry. The only rule is that you can't say it in a blog comment. I just thought I should bring a little more flare to my blogs. Good luck. Now then, time to continue this week's updates.

Pokemon Dub Episode Update
DP128 - A Pyramiding Rage!
Just as Ash finishes his victory cheer upon winning the Icicle Badge, Paul arrives out of the blue and challenges Candice to a battle. Candice accepts, but says that she wants her Pokemon to rest up first. The next morning, everyone is surprised when Paul's brother Reggie shows up in town. They then get a surprise double dose as none other than Pyramid King Brandon of the Kanto Battle Frontier arrives in Snowpoint City in his Battle Pyramid. When Ash brings up the fact that he defeated Brandon, Paul gets surprisingly upset.
Brandon comes down to earth to greet the group, and says that he came to the city in order to investigate the nearby Snowpoint Temple. It's soon brought up that Reggie once battled Brandon, but lost. He then gave up as a trainer, which made Paul angry. These memories get Paul's blood boiling, and that combined with the news that Ash defeated Brandon sends him over the top. Without hesitating, Paul challenges Brandon to a battle...
Awesome episode. The battle between Paul and Brandon was definitely an intense one, and this is the first time I've seen Paul lose control of himself like that. It's great to see Brandon again, I can't wait for the scheduled full battle between Ash and Paul, and it's a cliffhanger ending as something's going wrong at the Snowpoint Temple!

Episode 131 - Honored Sage Mode!
Having finally met of with Pain, Jiraiya engages in battle with him, his plan to use the Honored Sage Mode to gain the upper hand. Unfortunately, gaining enough energy to summon the Elder toads he needs to use Sage Mode isn't easy, so Jiraiya summons Gamaken to bide him some time. Pain goes on the offensive, summoning a giant dog that has the Rinnegan, while hiding in his chameleon summon. The dog attacks viciously, but every time Gamaken annihilates it, the dog multiplies, gaining even more power as a result.
The battle gets even more drawn out, but Jiraiya still hasn't gained enough energy to summon the Elder toads. Meanwhile, he notices that for some reason, Pain never attacks him directly and only uses summons, even though Jiraiya knows that Nagato learned many battle techniques, including an array of jutsus. At long last, Jiraiya gains the energy he needs, and summons the Elder toads, going into Sage Mode as a result. Now being much more powerful, Jiraiya, with the help of Fukasaku and Shima (the Elder toads), fishes out Pain in his chameleon hiding place, forcing him to engage in battle directly. But Jiraiya is in for a surprise, as Pain then summons two humans, both of whom have the Rinnegan themselves...
