I really like your story. I have been following since the beginning, but just recently hve had time to myself to write a review. To the question of pedophilia, I think it is not pedophilia. It is very true that teenagers have sex before 18 and I think reflecting that in a fanfic or fanart is not horrible. I mean seriously we have rap songs that the main focus is on sex and things like 16 and pregnant. You can't be 16 and pregnant without having sex at 15 or 16 years of age.
I do see the worry behind it, but I think it is more of a case by case type of thing. Are they both young? Are they consenting? Is the time period or cannon universe seem hypothetically supportive of it? I know that Ichigo is underage as most of the humans, but they are fighting arrancar and killer forces. I think in real-life they would be more adult-like than most 18yos with that kind of responsibility.
On the second part the story is definitely fine and should not be removed if they are aged to be older. That's ridiculous. It's like, "oh you can marry your husband because when you were 15 he was 19 eventhough you are now 24 years old. If they are aged as adults then the author usually adds some description that signifies aging. Like some Matsu/Toshiro stories has Toshiro as taller and more muscular. But that's just my opinion.
Story Question: Will there be a story on the Living World's side of things? Is the Living World still going as if nothing happened? I was wondering because with the unbalance and all wouldn't there be more hollow attacks and therefore more unexplained building explosions than ever before in Japan? Wouldn't non-sensitive people be getting unnerved about the situation over the years?

Hi, so I`ve been reading POV since it started, and, loving the new one already by the way. I was wondering, seeing as Karin can see the flow of reiatsu and copy it, shouldn't she also be able to copy Sonido and Cero`s aswell as the Shinigami stuff?
I like how Ajuga is turning out to be very similar to grimmjow, he`s still my second favourite character. And favourite in here. Still not sure about turning Szayel around, he was really creepy in the anime,and it`s a little odd seeing him act normal.
And one more thing, I know you said you deviated from Ichigo and Ulquiorra fought on the dome, isn`t that after Szayel, Nnoitira and Tesra die? Oh, and I`m steadily working my way through the characters from Bleach if you`d like to see. I`m called Miraby on there, haven`t done very many yet but I`m getting there. Thanks for writing the second part to POV, have been looking forward to it. Look forward to the next chapter.

It took me a little while to read through the first 107 chapters of Prize of Victory, and when I saw there was a '2' on it now, I had to jump in. This is very well done for a split from the canon, although I want to see Yammy and Aizen on platters cause of how they are. In response to your question from 'General', I sort of view the old ways as what some of the world needs to remember. Marriages and the like were plausible from 13 and onward. I have a hard time viewing 16 as minor or pedophilia. I do have to ask if at all possible to answer, does Yammy and/or Aizen get what they deserve at all?

Another brilliant chapter and thank you for answering my questions, not a whole lot of authors do that. Honestly after I wrote my previous review the thought of "well, what CAN they do?" crossed my mind and I realized that they are simply so outclassed that any attempts to help those being harmed would serve nothing but increasing the suffering for everyone. I mean we have seen how some of the captains suffer under the less humane Espada, my heart just goes out to the regular seated and non seated Shinigami. The captains can somewhat contend with what is being done to them and are necessary to a degree to Aizen's rule so them keeping their lives is more assured, but the much weaker and in some cases shikai-less Shinigami can easily be replaced,(I mean hell some of the children are above them in power). The best they can do is keep there heads low and pray that if they run afoul of a Numeros that they make it out alive.

I'm kind of a bleeding heart if ya hadn't noticed lol. What makes it all the more worse is that ya just know that someone with a hero complex as big as Ichigo's is probably just tearing his hair out trying to get strong enough to help. I am very interested in seeing the Hana /Starrk moment, that won't be easy for anyone, but hey if worse comes to worse he could always tell her that he offered to fake fight Shunsui until shit calmed down. Ajuga is a very nice blend of Karin and Grimmjow and I am sorry if in my last review I sounded like she irked me. I have actually grown very fond of her and would love to see her interact with Ichigo or Yuzu. It would be funny to see Ichigo tell her how he actually beat her dad when they fought in Hueco Mundo lol. And thank you for reminding me about Aizen's law forbidding interference. But hey....your only breaking the law if ya get caught-wink wink-. Ajuga with her ability to hide her presence completely sneaks up on a particularly abusive Numeros, ya know someone who wont be missed, goes to town on him, gets rid of the body, goes home feeling like a bad ass >D.


-waits patiently for next chapter-

A really nice, promising start to part 2...thank you for posting! It's great to be back in the story again.

To answer your question of favorite character from PoV 1, I'd have to call it a tie between Grimmjow and Ajuga. Grimmjow because you did an amazing job at keeping him in character, yet showing another side to him that was entirely believable. Ajuga because she's the best OC in a Bleach fanfic that I've ever read.

Hello! Welcome back! It's been a long three months without you! I have actually been a fan of your writing since Midsummers Eve...yeah. A long time. I followed PoV entirely and my favorite chapter was 'Reporting to Kami.' Because it was the first time we got to see Gin, who has been my favorite character all along. I am excited to read more! As always, you deliver nothing but the best and I am a bit nervous about what is coming...you mentioned WAY back in the first that Aizen DOES find out about Karins royal blood and it 'isn't pretty.' I have been anxiously awaiting that moment...I'm also excited to see a somewhat grown up Toshiro. And...well I'm excited about a lot of things! But I'm equally as nervous. Hopefully life is kind to you and we can see some more chapters soon! It's weird how I feel that I have a history...with your writing. Midsummers Eve was THE FIRST fiction I ever read that I enjoyed...and I was shortly over 16 when that came out. It's an odd feeling. :) I await your update~!

Happy too see this continue and totally stoked that you are going to focus on the side characters as well. Heh it would appear that Ajuga has inherited a bit of her fathers bravado and arrogance along with his skill lol. Only natural I suppose given what she is and being the child of 2 very talented individuals. Very surprised to see Soifon with child, I assume Ggio is the father, would be interesting to see how that came about lol, although their were hints in part 1 and in consolation POV. Aizen is still an evil douche nozzle I see, the man could turn even the most pleasant of conversations into a thinly veiled threat. I just got a few questions though, if you wouldn't mind answering that is. How much do the children know about the war preceding the swarm and the subsequent take over of the soul society? And granted it was a war and both sides were going for the throat but does Hana know that Starrk was the one who killed her father? And outside of their group do they have any idea about what most of the claimed individuals go through. I mean 15 years(whistles) I understand to a Shinigami or a Hollow that's nothing but hot damn if/when Aizen is defeated I honestly can't see a whole lot of the Arrancar being allowed to live, beyond Starrk,Harribel,Grimmjow, and Ulquiorra(despite the initial 5 year rape and just being a colossal dick deal, since he honestly did not see it that way and regretted his actions) who actually treat those they have claimed with dignity and kindness. I am still on the fence in regards to Szayel although you have gone a long way and continue to redeem and endear him to your readers. Now i would understand the parents feeling that no good would come from the kids knowing the full story but would it be possible that someone feeling particularly vindictive could spill the beans?

Sorry if my questions bother you and you might have already answered a few of them in the previous installments, it's just that i am a curious fellow(if you recall any of my reviews from the previous stories) and these small things just kept nagging at me as I read. I greatly enjoy your stories and fully intend to read regardless of what route you take.

Hey, I'm a big fan who read all of the PoV stories.

Personally I'd like something really awful to happen to ajuga and diaemus. It isn't because I don't like them, it's just that even though ajuga was exposed to some of the darkness when she saw Gin get punished, neither really saw how bad it can really get.

If they have to deal with that, run off and see hollows really abusing shinigami and regular souls then they can stop chalking it up to just instinct and get genuinely po'ed.

I mean Orihime, Tatsuki and the others all know what Soi Fongs going through, they can see how much other characters are suffering, but since they and their families are happy and safe they make the best of it.

If something REALLY terrible happened, maybe something that gets Diaemus to tell Ulquiorra off for being no better than Nnoitora/Barrangan/Random sadistic hollow since he raped Orihime then they can realize that they should be doing a lot more than just going through their everyday lives.

Sorry if it's a bad idea, I just think that Orihime and the others are kinda dismissive about how bad it is for aizens other subjects.

Also will Karin still give Ichigo shit?
