Mini Observation: Squad 0 or An Excercise in Pointlesness

So we finaly got semi-introduced to the fabled Squad 0 of the 13 Squads. Not only does Noriaki-kun seem to have an obsession with inserting a "0th" something into everything now as sort of a way to make an easy twist, but he's on his a-game as far as logic is concerned.

Throughout the entierity of 517, all that happens is Hair Dude is a dick. In fact, the whole chapter can pretty much be summed up as "Hair dude is a dick to everyone as Beard dude tries punching him to make him behave".

It doesn't realy work.

And towards the middle part of this chapter, right when Soifon has her breakdown over how the Zero Squad be chillin through this whole invasion and only come down after everyone left and start talking shit about "rebuilding", when they could have easily prevented it with their obscene power.

Hair Dude responds my twisting Soifon's arm and then saying

 

Now the problem here is that, well, the palace is within a special dimension within Soul Society. Tha task of protecting Soul Society, and it's centre, the Seireitei, is in the hands of the Gotei 13.

The King's Palace exists within a seperate dimension within Soul Society.

That means that in order for the 0 Division to ever even have any sort of relevance, the G13 would have to fail in their task.

Meaning that if the G13 always overcame all obstacles as this guy says, then he and his whole division would serve no purpose.

And you know what that means ? Non judicial eternal life sentence of imprisonment without parole in a secret prison without ever having actualy commited any crime, but just due to the possibility of one day becoming a threat.

But we'll get to that in due time.

Attack from Behind: Yuha Bach Is Zangetsu, and Other Soul Nazi Musings

Was it any wonder why he wore a mask, with an eyebrow like that? The real criminal is the cad who broke off the rest of his mask.

Now that the Vandenreich have seemingly contracted the sniffles and decided to evacuate Soul Society without rounding off their ectoplasmic cleansing scheme, I think it's fair to examine what's happened so far in this amazing, bone-chilling THOUSAND YEAR BLOOD WAR, the scope and emotional charge of which makes our paltry two-year spit skirmishes seem shallow and stupid by comparison.


The sheer number of plot threads that have shot through our hearts in a mere bajillion chapters, the astounding confluence of shocking brilliances, the other sentences that sound like machine-assembled blurbs! It would take a thousand blood lifetimes to analyze everything, like:

*A beloved mysterious masked man got off a bed
*Several beloved tits-having Numeros reappeared, with Halibel in chains because Orihime can't be allowed to do anything competently
*Five beloved bankais swiped
*Sasakibe, the most beloved Okikiba, and Yamamoto all dying with varying levels of spectacle
*The revelation that the Gotei 13 used to be MAD PACK KILLERZ out of a Tarantino movie
*Some ultimately non-mattering but nonetheless beloved Vandenreich soldier getting stabbed by a mystery foot in Hueco Mundo
*Ichigo's heart-wrenchingly mild peeves about his mom being a belovedly inept Quincy and his dad being a young Otto von Bismarck

You don't want to know what he can do with his mustache.

Militarize me, ohh
