Yamamoto leads the counterattack against the Vandenreich by nullifying its leader.

Yamamoto’s memories give weight to his current actions.

The Vandenreich continue to impress as Byakuya falls in Bleach 502, Law’s logic comes into potential disrepute in One Piece 675, and a brilliant fight in Naruto 595 punctuates a great week for the Big 3, all in a new shonen manga podcast.

The supposed death of an important character and the premature emergence of a potential trump card both achieve mixed results.

A massive loss for the Shinigami forces reinforces the dominance of the Vandenreich.

In today’s Big 3 shonen manga podcast: Naruto 593 sees Sasuke’s uncharacteristic maturity outshine the return of Orochimaru, One Piece 674 lauds Caesar Clown as a superb villain, and Bleach 500 pins all hopes on the hero.

Kubo returns to his plot-twisting ways, as the hero is saved by an unknown benefactor.

The incredible unveiling of the identity of “Joker” in One Piece 673, the respective progress and regression of the rival and main character in Naruto 592, and the pointlessness of Bleach 499 are all discussed in the latest shonen manga podcast!
