I just re-read the last chapter. Am I the only one who see pic related as a subtle shout out? Or am I looking too into it?
So what was Ichigo's powerup and how did he defeat Ywach? Did kubo seriously end the series to an offscreen fight?

It really shows that Kubo barely planned shit for after the SS arc and instead just went back to re-read his old chapters and pick up vague stuff to make into plot points later on.
>>146907175
I wont ever forgive Kubo for his treatment of Ukitake.
>>146910896
He really treated a lot of best girls like crap( like Tatsuki ) but Ukitake is his worst crime
>>146910896
He saved SS. I think he did alright

How did it end again? If yhwach was killed and reio was too. Who is the lynchpin? Or was that another thing just left the fuck out?

That's what the Stark fight should have been. He was #1, it would have made sense to need two captains to defeat him. Instead we get Ukitake getting one shotted by the autist

Why couldn't Uryu just put some Quincy arrows in Yhwach instead? He can fire 1200 of them per second.
>>146912606
Uryu could have saved rukia and whorihime, killed aizen and yhwach if kubo felt like it.
>>146912334
I wish I could find a good snip from the anime. It was a high point both for Kubo and the animators. Pure hype.
>>146912334
Kubo's mistake was to fuck around in Karakura. He should have made the espada stronger and made the captains all reveal their bankai.
season 4 of the anime with original ending when?
>>146907175
Now that I binge re-read the quincy arc, Ukitake's death's not that bad. And it's sad that Shunsui couldn't be there when his best friend of 1000 years died.
>>146912716
Never ever, eat up the shitty live action movie like a good goy.

Kubo and Kishi aren't close enough for subtle shout outs.

Or just use the antithesis that was hyped as the only way to stop Bach.
Then Kubo forgot.
Yeah, last month.

Will Renji let Ichika get tattoos?
I mean, he's always self-conscious about his eyebrows and covers his tattoo up with a bandanna and proper shihakushou (as opposed to sleeveless like Shuuhei or open chest like Rangiku) so it seems like he regretted getting them.
>>146912876

>>146910230
The Szayel fight was what caused me to stop at one point. Later I found out it was the editors' fault the whole arc was so long and stretched. I remember reading Kubo was planning to off Grimmjow much earlier.
Fuck the editors.

>>146907175
since when were you under the impression that bleach was hype?
How can you like this series after Soul Society arc? Power levels keep increasing exponentially every time there's a new bad.
The MC is a hybrid of how many different things? Human/Quincy/etc.

>Later I found out it was the editors' fault the whole arc was so long and stretched.
No, you didn't. It was literally the opposite. Kubo very blatantly was taking the long route through the rescue arc, and given the way he writes he fumbled a few plot points along the way stalling for time when he couldn't come up with anything in a week. It was the editor that insisted he move the plot along. Even then the editor didn't just sit down and write a new script, Kubo fucked up just fine all by himself both pre- and post- editor meddling, as minimal as it was. Kubo's the reason the stupid Nnoitra and Szayel fights took for fucking ever. His editor's the reason the rescue arc inexplicably went from unmitigated failure to "only Ichigo can save us." But Kubo's the reason the Visored got shit on, the top espada fights were unsatisfying and anticlimactic, the retarded 0 espada twist happened, the entire garbage pendulum flashback arc, etc...

>Pernida
Speaking of Pernida, why the hell was the right hand of the soul king fighting for Ywach. How do you even recruit that thing?
Fucking Kubo.
>>146914542
Bleach is different because Ichigo empathize with every villains he fights. Every single one.
>>146915008
makes him the same as naruto
>>146914419
It was a preposterous waste of time that reduced what had otherwise been actual plot hooks into shallow meaningless "twists" and oversimplified existing character relationships with bullshit adlib writing.
>>146915126
One piss is the only one 100% guilty of this shit. No exception.
>>146914975
Well the implication was that the soul king was a quincy? or whatever it was that yhwach also was that was then capable of making the quincy in the first place. it's not really clear what mimihagi was doing loitering around as a folk god in the slums before some family shoved him into their sick kid. either way the whole left and right hands and heart business was full blown stupid
>>146915134
this. Turn back the pendulum was the start of all of Kubo's hype killers.
>>146915428
>way the whole left and right hands and heart business was full blown stupid
It was pretty original but Kubo didn't elaborate so it might as well have been a gigantic asspull.
Fuck the heart of the Soul King. The proverbial [HEART] of the universe was squashed suddenly by Ywach's auchwallen with no explanation given whatsoever.
>>146915539
I mean, it legitimately was a gigantic asspull, we all know that. The arms (and legs, woops) were all removed retroactively. And we already knew Pernida wasn't a giant hand originally.
>>146912476
Starrk a shit, did nothing to justify his rank, Wonderweiss destroyed Ukitake the second he came in, without transforming. The whole espada ranking was revealed to be a joke when Yammy turned out to be the strongest with a 0 rank. It was as stupid as Suzaku becoming knight of zero.
>>146915805
>were all removed retroactively.
that's the asspull part. But pernida had a nice fucked up feeling about it and having godly limbs acting on their own was p. cool.
Started re-reading the Quincy arc and can't stop laughing at the part where Ychwzsch cuts air with his sword and the cut becomes a bow that shoot an arrow that's a sword, which he then uses to cut down Yamamoto. What was Kubo smoking?
>>146916158
>It was as stupid as Suzaku becoming knight of zero.
except that made some sense and at all similar to the Espada
So anons, how would you fix Bleach if given the chance?
IchigoXIchika or KazuiXIchika fanfics, images and Doujins when?
Yuzu raping or molesting her nephew doujins when?
Ichika and Kazui playing doctor. when?
Ichika lewds. when?
>>146916361
No idea.
>>146910998
I'd like to reiterate my absolute hatred for his final Bankai's design. Thank god Yhwach broke that shit

Do the math. They were on the same side all along, SK wasn't the linchpin because he wanted to be.
>>146917495
since when were you under the delusion that hands can't have hands?
>>146917512
Ywach hates the soul king so no.
>>146917757
Did he say he hated SK? I think only other Quincies did.
>>146907175
>literally muh higher power levels the manga
There is only so much you can keep escalating powerlevels before shit gets out of control. It should have ended after Aizen was defeated, any more and the asspulls would become too much
>>146918122
What's funny is that the powerlevels actually didn't go any higher than Aizen.
>>146918365
No, they did. Kubo was just inconsistant and by effect Aizen was just retarded and full of shit when he talked about transcending power levels, he just had no idea what he was talking about
>>146918459
>state a known fact
>no you're stupid and Kubo is stupid by extension because I'm always correct even though I clearly have no clue what I'm talking about
/thread
Could Aizen beat Gerard?
>>146916743
Depends. First and second arc are like a perfect 8/10 or even 9/10. As far as Shounen go, it's some of the best.
But it immediately turns to shit after thereafter. If you think you can drop it at that point without ever looking back it would be worth it.
If you think you're gonna end up reading / watching the whole thing, better not even start.
Relevant episodes would be anime up to around episode 60, or up to around volume 20 for the manga.
Could Aizen outkeikaku Orochimaru?
>>146918526
>a known fact
As corroborated by nothing. The 1000y Bloodwar arc made it clear that everything Ichigo had believed about his sword prior was wrong and that he'd been operating at halfpower because of the quincy blood's meddling. Meaning that mugetsu was bullshit. His completed true sword was stronger as was the entire point of it being revealed as his completed and true sword.
>>146918591
By all means they're both immortal beings with an unknowable cap on power level, but I'd give the advantage to Aizen's keikaku potential.
>>146918664
In terms of feats, true-form TZ is basically a Mugetsu that he can use more than once. What's odd is that even without the Hollow and Quincy power stolen from Ichigo by Yhwach, Ichigo was still strong enough to one-shot Yhwach with a Getsuga. But regardless Yhwach, Ichigo and Aizen basically set the power cap for Bleach.
>>146918122
>muh higher power
DBZ faggot detected. Last arc threw any semblance of power level down the toilet. It was just pure fighting and asspulls.
Kazui will take Ichika's virginity, Or Ichika will take Kazui's virginity by force or not?
>>146916743
To add to my earlier post >>146918647, I just thought of something.
Maybe you should watch the anime up to episode 60.
The intros and endings (and BGM in general) are pretty hype, and the whole thing was discontinued long before the manga finished,
so there isn't even a point to keep watching after SS arc.
>>146918897
>What's odd is that even without the Hollow and Quincy power stolen from Ichigo by Yhwach
That's all he has. Shinegami draw power from their hollows.
He regained these powers after the asspull arrow, it's the only way.
>>146907685
>>146919268
>Maybe you should watch the anime up to episode 60.
Don't do that. All the questions about Aizen and the Soul king will be left unanswered. Not worth it.
>>146919282
>He regained these powers after the asspull arrow, it's the only way.
That's some fresh new headcanon, anon. You're forgetting the part where Ichigo lights up Yhwach with a Getsuga Tenshou a full chapter before Yhwach even gets hit with the anti-Auschwalen arrow.Tensa Zangetsu represents the power he gained from others. Shikai-Zangetsu represents the power he had inside all along.
>>146919388
I can see why you would say that.
It really depends if you can drop the series on a cliffhanger.
>>146917495
There was that foreshadowing spread, "THE SOUL KING AWAKENS" and later one of the zero squad tells Yschaw to "become rust on the soul king's blade" as if he could somehow fight, and then the dude was just a limbless, hardly sentient puppet with no purpose but to get cut down. It's really ugly how fucked up the whole story got towards the end.

That might have been a translation error, but it was pretty well established that the Royal Guard was the SK's only real protection, Monk in particular.
>>146917828
None of the Quincy hate the Soul King. They hate his existence as a powerless prisoner. Yhwach himself has only pity. One of his goals was to end the life long humiliation of his father.
>>146907175
Remember when these two both having dual zanpakuto was hinted to be a big deal?
Then Ukitake blacked himself to death and it turned out Kyoraku was just carrying around his dead crush's sword so he had two.
>>146922059
>Ukitake connected to the Soul King through Mimihagi
>Shunsui connected to the Soul King through the Mirror Sword/ Ise Clan
>Ichigo connected to the Soul King through Yhwach
>all have dual swords
Really makes you think...
>>146919577
The Soul King was sentient even after his death. Remember the shadow golems that attacked the Shinigami? That wasn't Yhwach, that was the Soul King. It's just a guess, but Kubo probably would have revealed that the sealed king of the Kaisergesang is actually the Soul King and not Yhwach. It has been flat out stated that the enemies of the Soul King are not the Quincy, but the Shinigami.

Literally right after SS arc his powers were fucked with on a massive level. He was gimped horribly because of inner turmoil and powers conflicting.
Not to mention his body couldn't handle the speed anyway.
Which is the best moment that shows Ichigo in despair?
I got a hard on when his fullbring was stealed and at the end when moustache obliterated him

>>146919938
They are friends irl.wtf are you talking about.
i feel really sad bleach ended even though it jumped so bad off the cliff in the fullbring arc i've stopped following it at that point onwards. it had limitless potential, if only kubo introduced less useless characters and had a coherent story arc and pace things wouldn't be half as bad as they where
arrancar arc was terrible. fullbring arc was a disaster. storyline was basically rescue rukia than rescue orihime since then pure asspulls
>>146924084
I'm only too glad it ended. It's "potential" had been given too much time to grow and Kubo's bullshit had become essentially a joke. Even more so now that it actually is completely over

imagine if we had more urahara youruichi aizen unohana old man genocide starrk and so on, the series would've been so much better

Because Juha Bach needs a better sword and Reishi Sword > regular sword.
ive finished the anime do I pick up the manga for the last arc now?

Shippers should be rounded up and summarily gassed to death. Your obsession over which fictional characters should fuck is proof that you're a drain on mankind in every possible way.

bleach goes like this
> mediocre SoL ghostbuster krakura town shenanigans bleach, good enough to gain some reputation and keep bleach running in as a medium ranking series in SJ
> SS arc, a burst of genius from kubo resulted in a almost perfect shounen arc
> arrancar arc, a return to arc 1 bleach only now the hollows are more shinigami like to keep the fans interested, meh-ish
> mexico arc, this arc is the result of trying to copy the formula that made the SS arc so good but it lacks deeper level planning, instead of rukia being kidnapped it's orihime and instead of shinigami it's shinigami like hollows but it lacks the world building and pacing SS arc had. it's the 2nd best arc bleach had and it's where bleach reached max popularity but it didn't take the quality of the series to a new high
> FKT arc, feels like some sort of a conclusion arc but it isn't. just some good fights and nothing more
> fullbringers arc. again bleach returns to arc 1 but with fullshitters enemies. kubo literally trashed bleach at this point
> quincy arc, asspulls - the arc. failed attempted to revive a series that took too much beating
bleach only had 2 definitive good arcs. FKT was ok-goodish and the rest was bad
>>146927151
No, there are 6 arcs total
Pre-Reaper arc (1-8)
Soul Society (9-20)
Hueco Mundo (21-32)
Fake Karakura Town (33-48)
Fullbring (49-54)
1000 Year Blood War (55-74)
No matter how you look at it, it's still 4 arcs good, and 2 arcs bad.
>>146927355
> arrancar arc and hueco mundo arc are actually just hueco mundo
hell no
>>146927355
>No matter how you look at it
no. this is specifically your opinion
>>146927399
Yes they are, because Grimmjow's final battle is in volume 32. The entire volume is literally 8 full chapters of Grimmjow vs Ichigo. Hell, Grimmjow usurps the B plot of Heuco Mundo (resucing Orihime).
The main villain between volumes 21-32 is Grimmjow. He is the drive of what goes on. So they aren't just two arcs, they are one. An A side and a B side story.
>>146927438
But most people say it was fun until post Aizen. That's a total of 4 arcs.
>>146927509
>But most people say it was fun until post Aizen
You also often hear that the SS arc what peak bleach
>>146927509
you must be joking here
arrancar arc is where ichigo discovers vizards and trains to control his mask, meanwhile arrancars stir shit up in krakura town to advance some of aizen's plans. the arc reaches conclusion when orihime is kidnapped and a rescuse party to hueco mundo is formed
then hueco mundo happens. arrancar arc and hueco mundo arc are like lesser modified versions of arc 1 and 2. saying grimmjow was introduced in arrancar arc and his tale ended in hueco mundo is a proof it's actually one big arc is like saying arc 1 and 2 are actually a big arc 1 because byakuya was introduced in the end of arc 1 and defeated in the end of arc 2
>>146927672
it was
>>146927672
Yes, but that doesn't mean that's automatically bad. It's like how people say "One Punch Man peaked at Boros" and yet still enjoy the stuff after that.
>>146927708
>arrancar arc is where ichigo discovers vizards and trains to control his mask, meanwhile arrancars stir shit up in krakura town to advance some of aizen's plans. the arc reaches conclusion when orihime is kidnapped and a rescuse party to hueco mundo is formed
1. No it doesn't because Orihime is still part of Aizen's plan to bait Ichigo and Co to Hueco Mundo. The plan doesn't end until volume 32.
2. Grimmjow's major plot line had not been settled.
3. Ichigo had not yet mastered his Vizard mask at that time. He was still learning how to use it during the kidnapping portion. He gains full control of it AFTER his fight with Ulquiorra in FKT.
>>146927826
>Yes, but that doesn't mean that's automatically bad
that's a different argument all together.
>>146927826
you are still falling into the arc 1 and 2 arc actually a big arc 1 mindset
hueco mundo arc had a different location, different mission and plot progress, and even a different OST in the anime
you might as well claim arrancar arc and hueco mundo are one big FKT arc, it's the same logic
>>146927935
What are you talking about? You were saying that it got bad post SS arc.
Except it wasn't and it was obvious.
>>146928023
FKT is a completely different arc because
1. Aizen is the main villain this time around since Grimmjow is out of the picture post volume 32.
2. the actual war starts
3. This arc ties up the last fights and plot lines needed for part 1 while leaving enough for a part 2.
>>146914975
Also why did we never meet his feet?
>>146928126
grimmjow is the main threat in the arrancar arc but he is a mid level at most threat at hueco mundo
most of the characters you see on hueco mundo where not revealed at the arrancar and and the unique characters of the arrancar arc do not appear at hueco mundo
you insist on tying two different pieces together just because there is a story that goes through them
>>146928126
I'll break it down for you
you: no matter how you look at it, bleach had 4 good arcs and 2 bad arcs
me: "no matter how you look at it?" - no this is specifically your opinion
you: "But most people say it was fun until post Aizen"
me: "most..." - you also get a lot of people who say Bleach became a mess post-SS
you: "Yes, but that doesn't mean that's automatically bad"
me (in my head): again, that's more of an opinion that negates the "no matter how you look at it" statement and you're making a divergent argument here by arguing the ABOUT the level of personal enjoyment post-ss/OP Boros arc.
do you see where you're tripping yourself up?
>>146928610
No, you are just trying to lie an sleeze your way out of the argument. The main consensus is that it was good for 4 arcs and 2 are bad.
If it wasn't, then the grand majority would not be saying that, would they? It's as simple as that.
>>146928732
there is no consensus on the first arc and the arrancar arc
>>146926894
please reply
>>146928928
please reply
>>146928732
No lies here m8 - I pretty much typed up the whole exchange for you so that's far from getting out of it. More like I spelt it out for you. No where have I even misrepresented your views.
>The main consensus is that it was good for 4 arcs and 2 are bad.
heh okay
>>146928972
don't make fun of me, I was bullied in highschool okay
>>146910812
It was fucked before. I'm currently revisiting bleach out of boredom.
>Strange bird person child tells Sado that you don't age in SS and some other dude has been a kid since 1947.
>Few chapters/episodes later flashback for rukia and renji shows them aging from childhood to adulthood in 10 years.
Shit don't make sense yo.
Are there any similar Anime/manga with a supernatural/magic focused setting which have a strong protagonist and are not shit? Started taboo tattoo (tackiest title ever) but that is unsatisfactory.
>>146926492
>No, 4 out of the 6 arcs are good. 2 out of the 6 arcs are bad
Well it depends on how you divide the arcs as some people separate Hueco Mundo into multiple parts but I'm pretty sure only Agent of Shinigami and SS arcs are good with the other four being ranging from meh to shit, leaning especially on the shit
>>146925983
Isn't the old man's VA dead?
>>146929058
I can't. Kubo won't let me stop.
>>146929256
On aging, I think Kubo just relied on "things are different between non-powered normal rukongai souls and high-powered souls!" and then set no consistent system whatsoever. How Ganju overlaps Rukia's aging, Zaraki overlaps Unohana's aging, how do shinigami make kids, and so on.
>>146929766
>how do shinigami make kids
holy shit this is easy they just use bankai do you even read the manga?
Renji, Ichigo and Kazui having foursome with Ichika as Orihime and Rukia watches?
>>146907685
it's a big fuck you directed at shueisha for ruining his plans for the ending
>>146930376
Except it's supposed to reference Renji's hilt guard that has lightning bolts on it >>146913614 you idiot
>>146922399
>Rukia is new MC.
No one else wants to read this Rukiafags.
>>146930153
>>146911386
It still works if you read it right to left.
>>146932401
>You'll never find out that you're actually Aizen.
>Kubo comes up with something interesting
>it only lasts for like 2 chapters
So when Ichigo dies and goes to Soul Society, will he be a gramps and get ridiculed by Rukia for it?
>>146932822
>The reason Ichigo married Orihime is because Rukia is actully Aizen
...holy shit, this actually makes sense.
>>146911128
>Don Kanonji went 1v1 with Aizen and survived
Is he the strongest human?
>>146933147
Actually, there are two very obvious reasons Ichigo married Orihime.She's really cute and has a sweet personality.
>>146933222
From now on I'll just assume they had the soul king replaced with him
>>146933418
what if aizen is also orihime?
>>146926236
She was never in the IchiBowlI still prefer them over Rukia and Orihime tho
>>146932964
What was the point of her death when Zaraki jobbed in all his fights afterwards?
fuck, I didn't know he made Bleach too
>>146933418
>She's really cute and has a sweet personality.
Exactly.
Hime is too pure. Ichigo will not make her lewd.
>>146936804
Yeah. Ichigo may have a thing for busty girls, but they're probably one of the most sickeningly vanilla couples in existence.
>>146937830
I was joking, anon.
Ichigo loves paizuri (someone post his reaction to Yoruichi's hand between Hime's breasts) and Orihime is down for anything.
>>146936157
I wish this guy did more
>>146914542
>fuck impossible
I always lost my shit at that part
Okay post your:
>shinugamifu
>quincyfu
>arrancarfu
Mine are:
>Shutara
>Giselle
>Sung Sun
>>146938191
That's it. Ichigo tittyfucks Orihime, officially confirmed.
>>146938416
what about
>humanfu
>>146910583
i would genuinely enjoy that
>>146938416
I only have one waifu because I'm not a slut
>>146913758
holy shit is that legit?
>>146925244
Can he see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch?
>>146910718
>OVER ONE MILLION ZANPAKUTO
I don't know if Kubo is retarded, but apparently one shikai > a million Zanpakuto. And since it was Ichigo, he acted like he was being attacked by a mosquito bite.
>>146938741
>Not being a huge manwhore
Your loss, pal.
