Product Description

Product Description
Ichigo Kurosaki thought that Soul Reapers were the only ones hunting Hollows, but he was wrong. Enter Uryu Ishida, a Quincy, and possibly the last member of a powerful clan that died out over 200 years ago. Unlike Soul Reapers who strive to cleanse Hollows of their sins and send them to the Soul Society, Quincys adopt a more direct approach - they kill Hollows without hesitation. To demonstrate the supremacy of the Quincys' ways, Uryu challenges Ichigo to a contest - bait is spread around the city, attracting a large number of unstable Hollows. Whoever defeats the most wins, regardless of the danger. Also, Orihime and Chad, confronted with a host of Hollows terrorizing their friends, awaken to their own psychic abilities. Who is the strongest? Find this out and more in the action-packed fifth volume of Tite Kubo's Bleach!

About the Author
Bleach is author Tite Kubo's second title. Kubo made his debut with Zombiepowder, a four-volume series which has not yet been translated into English.

4.0 out of 5 stars The giant and the princess, 7 Jun 2009
By E. A Solinas "ea_solinas" (MD USA) - See all my reviews
(TOP 10 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   

Ichigo Kurosaki is one of those many anime heroes that takes his fights very, very personally.

And Tite Kubo's "Bleach Volume 5: Right Arm of the Giant" he's called on to defend his pride against his new rival, a mysterious young man who can destroy Hollows with a spirit-bow. But their competition basically serves as a springboard for his buddies Chad and Orihime, and the mysterious powers that start popping up for them. what's more, events seem to be getting more complicated for Ichigo's little gang, fast.

While Ichigo is left fuming and forgetful after encountering the Quincy Uryu Ishida, Rukia takes a trip to Urahara's shop to find out what the Quincies are... or were. And after learning that Uryu goes to his school, Ichigo tries to trail him -- only to have the acid-tongued Uryu rope him into a Hollow-slaying contest, and deliberately causing Karakura to be overrun. Uryu's goal: to prove that Quincies are superior to Soul Reapers.

And across town, Chad is attacked by one particularly large one as he tries to defend Ichigo's little sister Karin. For all Chad's strength, his only hope is to call on a new power of his own. In the meantime, Orihime is helping her pals clean up when she spots a horrific Hollow octopus, who turns the other students into puppetlike zombies. But when Tatsuki is wounded trying to defend her friend, Orihime gets fighting mad.

"Bleach Volume 5: The Right Arm of the Giant" is something of a crossroad -- the action-packed plot is obviously about to blow out in every direction, with more Hollows than ever before doing nastier things than before. And additionally, it's pretty obvious that soon more Soul Reapers will be entering the scene -- and this might be a bad thing for Rukia.

In the meantime, we get plenty of slam-bang action -- Chad's punching power, Uryu's glowing spirit bow, and even the mild-mannered Orihime turns out to have some power coming from a very unusual source. Lots of green gore, vaporized Hollows, and some creepy varicose veins. The big surprise is that central hero Ichigo is about the only one who ISN'T really doing any fighting, but obviously that's going to start pretty soon, now that Orihime and Chad have shown their abilities.

Fortunately all this grimness and action is leavened by the humor from Kon and Ichigo's classmates, such as Keigo's shrieking horror when he learns that the punky Ichigo is No. 23 in their class ("You're possessed by ghosts! SMART, EVIL GHOSTS!") or Ichigo's ongoing difficulty remembering names and faces. And Orihime's powers -- manifested as a cute little gang of fairies -- are worthy of some chuckles, especially the feisty Tsubaki.

Our orange-haired hero is about the only one who doesn't have much development in this volume -- Chad and Orihime have plenty. Kubo spins quiet shadowed flashbacks into their backgrounds, showing the origins of Chad's "gentle giant" status and Orihime's friendship with the tomboyish Tatsuki. And we get a full introduction to Uryu, a sort of anti-Ichigo -- he's prickly, chilly, sews like a maestro, hates Soul Reapers and there are hints about what motivates him.

"Bleach Volume 5: Right Arm of the Giant" fleshes out two established characters and fully introduces a third one, while building up to what is obviously going to be a big confrontation.

5.0 out of 5 stars New powers are revealed, 19 Oct 2008
By T. R. Alexander (East Anglia, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
This fifth volume of the Bleach manga sees Ichigo face down the Quincy archer Uryû Ishida only to be drawn into a dual to prove who the better Hollow hunter is but the nature of the dual threatens the entire city. As Hollows appear throughout the city they seek out those with high spiritual energy leading to other discovering their own powers.

This volume of Bleach continues to impress with some good action and some brief but good background for the Quincies that gives you a good idea of their beliefs. Much of this volume follows Orihime and Chad as they are forced to deal with the unintended consequences of Uryu and Ichigo's dual. Bleach is only improving and I am thoroughly enjoying the series so far.
