Well I managed to resurect several loops now lets try this one:

Ichigo awoke in his own bed, it was about an hour before his bedroom was scheduled for violation. He used the Anchor ping ability to check for loopers, and came up with nothing... "Well, this is going to be boring fast. How could I take a vacation this time?"

He pondered, then the idea came to him, He placed a subtle seal on his room and his sister's rooms, something he had learned countless loops ago, so that a Soul Reaper wouldn't be able to come in through the walls. Then he placed a signal amping signal on his sleeping father's room.

An hour later he heard a crash followed by yelling, including the word 'Captain' followed by more crashes. Yes he thought this would be an interesting loop.

'Got that right King!'
This is something I'd like to see expanded, please.

You realize that things would get complicated as Ishiin can't actually leave his gigai? Even Mayuri couldn't kidnap him as his soul is bound to his physical body until Ichigo dies the first time. Since he's not alive destroying the gigai wouldn't free him and physical things, like his gigai, can't be converted into reishi. So he's stuck on Earth. Also, Hitsugaya would not pull for his predecessor to replace him.

Yes, they can. :mellow:

Examples: Chad, Orihime, Ishida, their clothing and Rukia's gigai.

Yes, with a device that Urahara invented. Mayuri doesn't even know it exists.

Emphasis on the Rukia example who left with the Shinigami in her gigai. Possibly Orihime again depending on how she got to SS with Rukia in the Arrancar arc.

I take that back. Apparently gigai are made from "high-density spiritual matter" so it seems they're made a reishi anyway. Though Isshin would still be capable of going to SS if that's the case.

Edit: And I take back that take back since Rukia's gigai wasn't made from that spiritual matter. So confused. :wacko:

Rukia's gigai was of special make. it's possible that Isshin's was of the same design.

Honestly I never really saw the point of Gigai in general. Baring the apparently hilariously rare cases where you would need to interact with humans, non spiritually powered ones at that, what point is there in taking human guise at all if humans can't see you anyway? It just adds more hassles than it solves frankly, particularly when the Hitsugaya Rescue Team when to Karakura.

I mean obviously there would be some cases where interacting with non spiritual humans is necessary, trying to direct them away from battle areas, maybe trying to get some information out of them to determine anything they can. But that's something mooks can easily handle and wouldn't be all that common anyway. I mean granted, there was something mentioned about using Gigai to recover their powers in down time, but what's the point in making them visible to humans if that's the use for it? Particularly since shinigami can just recover their powers normally regardless.

I figure it's a way of recovering their exhausted spiritual energy without needing to eat and keeps them hidden from Hollows. If it they were spiritual instead of physical, then it's gonna look like an obvious meal to Hollow if they cross paths. Maybe it even helps if they get injured but I don't think we've seen anyone do something like that with it.

The exhausted spiritual energy I didn't buy since it would seem a strange limitation to add when just trying to rest. Admittedly though the hiding from hollows excuse is rather interesting, particularly since those smart enough could probably realize one body is spiritual and not being noticed by everyone else. Though at the same time, Hollows could in turn sense the shinigami inside regardless, even when the shinigami is absurdly weak like Rukia was, so suddenly the point still seems moot.

The Collector
Limitation? Not sure what you mean there. A Shinigami ends up using too much spiritual energy whilst on the job so they hide inside a gigai. That's what Rukia says. I don't recall a time when a Hollow detected a Shinigami in their gigai. During the incident with Shibata (in chapter 9), the Hollow had no idea Rukia was a Shinigami until she blasted him with kido; before that he just thought that she had a tasty scent and later noticed that she could see him.

Huh, I thought he did detect her as a shinigami but apparently I forgot the specifics. Still not ideal though since they still register as tastier morsels but certainly more feasible at least.

Don't use Rukia's gigai as an example. it was a one of kind device with very specific extra features. The purpose of a standard gigai is to mingle while suppressing and regaining power as well as limiting the mutation effects that power brought before Aizen's retcon.

“This is so”

“ Unbecoming of a Quincy,” we know that, came from Renji. “And if I could leave this Gigai I would.”

“You would leave the battle so casually?”

The entire group stared at Uryu clearly stating their disbelief at his statement.

One looper in the group Mamoru Chiba glanced around carefully. “Shouldn’t Ichigo be here?”

The group was a mixed one from a few loops, it seemed many of the male loopers, Oddly no Anchors though.

Uryu frowned, “I agree, I think Ranma is here too, but we have seen nobody from his loop at all. This disaster looks like one of his.”

Mamoru shook his head, “I have known Ranma a long time. I can assure you he had nothing to do with this.”

Currently the group was hiding in a non-descript hotel room which was heavily warded, wards against what is inside, wards to make other things appear inside, wards against detection magic, and wards against the wards themselves being detected.

Kiba looked out the window wearing the illusion of an old man. “I’ve heard of something like this being done back home. But I wasn’t paying attention.”

Some glanced at him, “Cut me some slack, I am new to this. I was too busy spending loops working on pickup lines.”

He ignored comments on it being a ‘Waste of time.’

Suddenly the door bursted open as a lumbering monster stepped in. It was grinning like a demented circus clown. “Hello boys. I think it’s time for fun...”

All the guys jumped out the windows in the room and fled, it was every man for them at this point.

Rukia stepped into the room around the apparent monster as it just stood there, “This isn’t nice. They keep running.”

Sailor Mars smirked, she was over all against using such a weapon to get what they wanted, but at this point it was their best bet. “You sure this thing will work?”

Sakura giggled, “Of course it will work. I based it on an illusion technique I used a long time ago. It was during our, oh so much fun chunin exams.”

“But did you have to use a monster as a carrier?”

Sakura frowned, “The boys have trained against this type of thing. We need direct contact to pass along the illusion and mental suggestions plus it also lets us augment the effect with various chemicals to help the process along.”

Orihime shook her head. She was against hate and monsters that would hurt people she cared about but Ichigo was hiding and doing a good job of it too. “All this so we can see the boys make out with each other?”

Sakura nodded smiling, “Besides the harder it is the more satisfying the results.”

Mercury looked at the weird looking demon, “Have you tested this... method yet?”

“My normal test subjects keep me from trying.” Her smile turned demented, “Well they aren’t around, so let’s give this a good test, and of course every experiment needs to be reproducible. So we need to test several times.”

The dozen girls smiled as they directed the monster. It was all in the name of fun after all.

--

Hiding in a location that was hidden technically even from them Ichigo, Naruto, and Sasuke rested in silence, playing cards. Their hangers on had been getting ungrateful for their sacrifices they had made to keep things from happening. Well time they learned the true horror of a mass Sakura Syndrome.


---------

For the record only loops involved are Naruto, Sailor Moon, and Bleech. Some of the wording implies there are others, if you want to imagine it just remember that the male anchors are off playing cards leaving everyone else to their fate.

And as to how they were found, remember Usagi and Mamoru have a bond, it is canon that they can track each other with it (although it got less attention as the series continued)

How is a monster asking them to have sex going to make them gay? It makes no sense and destroys any humor.

So you are suggesting Jiraya and Orochimaru enjoyed making out during the chunin exam.

What does that have to do with being chased by a monster?

read the loop again, it is specifically that all they guys are immune to normal genjutsu, the girls have a method of casting it on contact but have decided to go this method

It should be clear that because the method is basically transmitted by contact and involves additional chemical activation then it could backfire if they used it directly themselves. They decided to use some form of intermediary, hence the monster.

Besides they are loopers, since when does any prank make sense?

All I saw was a girl pretending to be a monster and you telling us that they were trying to make them gay.
 
Is this dead? Aww man, I can imagine all of the potential expansion loops the past four years have introduced but was left untapped due to neglect... Which brings into the question on what happens when a series ends? I'm not too familiar with this situation. Anyone up to date with this and/or point me to an example of loops that have reached canonical completion?

Not dead, just no postings for a while.
Um 4 years seems to be a bit more severe than a while
Also new to the infinite loops and loving them so far:)
