@linuxjj @synlogic @arcade Hey, thanks for listening and considering. Its appreciated. The fun of getting older is noticing how we grow. Personally, I hope I never stop learning how to be better - and at the same time I wonder what future me will be irritated with current me for still thinking. lol!
PS; I there’s something about Kenpachi becoming his strongest only when he learned to listen to his Zanpaktu. But my memory is real bad.
Jan 31, 2024, 10:39 PM@mattwilcox @synlogic @arcade you just hit my weak spot. Zaraki, when the thousand year blood war starts, is the only Captain that doesn't even know the name of his Zampakuto (Nozarachi) or rather doesn't know his lieutenant Yachiru IS his Zampakuto. I've still to reach the part where he figures this out, but it starts when Unohana (previous Kenpachi) let's him kill her to absorb her reiatsu. That's him at his strongest, but his Zampakuto is as strong as he is. Imagine that. I like you more now!
Jan 31, 2024, 10:48 PM@mattwilcox @synlogic @arcade my wife hates that I know so much about Kenpachi and so little about how to do groceries 🤣🤣
Jan 31, 2024, 10:56 PM@linuxjj @synlogic @arcade I know there’s a “new” series out which is supposed to be back up to the good stuff, but I’ve not watched Bleach since the original runs, and trailed off after Aizen was defeated. So it’s been… well over a decade I guess. Closer to 15yrs probably. So many cool episodes; but also a lot of filler. It’s a shame it kept overtaking the manga run in production.
Jan 31, 2024, 10:55 PM@mattwilcox @synlogic @arcade I've watched the old series 4 times already, and the one you are mentioning is the Thousand Year Blood War, it came out last year, I think they're in season 3 right now. But my wife and I binge animes, so we're waiting for it to be at season 5 completed. While i wait I'm "spending" my time re-reading all of Jack Ryan's universe (Tom Clancy). I'm currently halfway through Patriot Games.
@linuxjj I'll have to check that out when it's all complete - cheers for the heads up!
Jan 31, 2024, 10:46 PM@mattwilcox @synlogic @arcade sorry, got completely distracted the moment you brought up Kenpachi. I keep pishing that in my life every day. When I wake up, my first thought is "I want to be 1% better today", and that goes for everything. Better human, husband, father, friend, human, professional, gamer, and so on. I believe that if we all did that, eventually we would live in some sort of a utopia.
