White Sun Rising: Ultimate Rewrite Edition
Answering the reviews, part 1
(The Author walks onto the stage)
Author: Ok, ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the first installment of answering WSR URE's reviews. This is a necessary evil, as I have a large number of them, so please, don't bother complaining about it.
(Looks at clipboard)
Author: Ok, first up is edboy4926, who simply says variations of 'great work' in almost every review.
(Flips page over) Next is WarriorServent, who had only posted one review. Regardless, thank you for reading the original version and this one.
(An explosion is heard as Grimmjow runs past the Author onstage, followed by a vengeful Kratos)
Author: (shakes head) Someone pissed somebody off.
Grimmjow: GRAN RAY CERO!
(Author's eyes widen with accompanying old car horn sound before pulling out the Portal Gun)
Author: Fuck THIS.
(Fires blue at the ground before firing orange off to the left and jumping in, dodging the GRC and reappearing somewhere backstage)
Author: (dusts himself off) Well, now that THAT is over with...(Pulls out clipboard and flips to next page) Next is potterfanforever, who has grand total of three reviews. All of which I will answer.
Review 1: hopefully Ichigo gets to use his true Zanpakutō , even if i do not like the way his duel Zanpakutō looks, personalty i like his Shikai Version 2 looks , but i can see his Bankai Zanpakutō being duel bladed as twin short swords .
will he learn of his Shiba heritage and embrace it?
what effects on Sode no Shirayuki and with Rukia when she regains he powers from Ichigo , and i do hope you do not have them to be able to use each others swords.
Author: Well, Ichigo and Rukia using each other's zanpakutō was part of the original challenge, so no, potter, it's happening. As for being Ichigo being (I.e, acting like) an typical Shiba? The closest Ichigo will get to that is dealing his father. He is not cheerful or happy. He almost always had a scowl on his face. As for Zangetsu's form? I'll deal with that explanation in detail later on in the fic, but he will be using all three versions of Zangetsu and Tensa Zangetsu throughout the storyline. Some things just work without needing to be changed.
Review 2: a few of the Visored ahas shown up early and Ichigo has learned the has more sides to his power, it was a good chapter even if some of the paragraphs had dialog from more then one person making it a bit hard to fallow.
I like Tatsuki and always thought she got screwed over compared to her other friends and could not fight with them.
Author: (Shrugs) It's my style of writing: most of the time I leave it up to the readers to figure who's saying what unless the text indicates otherwise.
The Vizards were actually a necessary evil, as they know about White and Masaki (what, you think they hide in that fucking warehouse 24/7/365? They have to come out eventually, and they'll be going 'WTF is going on' to Urahara, who will have to tell them about what happened) and they're actually scared shitless about Ichigo's inner Hollow. Who also happens to be Zangetsu.
Tatsuki going along with the Rescue Team? That was practically mandatory. Other then the Big Four (Ichigo, Uryū, Chad and Orihime) and the Kurosaki family, she is the most spiritually aware person in Karakura, especially after the Menos debacle. Besides, she's able to beat the living crap out of anyone, and I have plans for her.
And finally, review 3: you saved Kaien, good job, i do like it when he lives in some form but my fave is a reincarnation fic where Ichigo gains Kaien memories, but Nejibana dose not suit Ichigo unless Ichigo's massive Reiryoku pushes Nejibana to a level past would have when Kaien had it and pushed it to its fullest limit
now you have one of 2 options , one is use Orihime powers to get back or spend the next fifty years training the kids, and boy can Ichigo use that time if he was there on his control. he really need to learn how to reseal his sword to normal size sword, i believe its possabe if he just put enough time and effort in to it.
in those 50 years Kaien could acheve Bankai and move to captain level
Author: If you think I'm THAT stupid, think again. Hiding in the Soul Society is impossible: why the hell do you think Urahara and co, plus the Vizards, hide in the world of the living? Besides, them staying in the past creates a temporal paradox, something I wish to avoid. Like the last chapter preview said, this was a detour: they WILL be going back to their own time next chapter WITH Kaien.
And how you knew I was going to use Orihime to get them back is fucking scary. Stay the hell away from my head: there's only enough room for me and my insanity.
As for Ichigo sealing Zangetsu...not happening.
(Subzero and Hitsugaya (in bankai, no less) appear overhead, fighting and sending sharp icicles toward the Author)
Author: Why me? (Jumps offstage and lands in dressing room) Christ, can't they fight outside? (Flips page) Ok, last but not least is French reviewer Phantom Claire. Problem is, I can't understand a word of French, so if anyone can properly translate the reviews, please, tell me. (Looks at list and smiles) Well, that's it for this review answering session. When I've got enough of them, I'll answer them with another one. I'll see the lot of you on the next-
Ichigo: (Faint, but clearly) GETSUGA TENSHO!
Author: Son of a BITCH. (Gets hit and Wilhelm Screams)
