>Mainly because newfags don't know that minimal backgrounds used to be an industry standard.
I just found this out a while ago on Naoki Urasawa's show where he interviews different mangakas(really great show btw) and he was talking about white backgrounds being the standard back then.

There were a few Sternritters like Askin or Bazz-B, but Kubo fucked it up by making so many so most of them were forgettable jobbers.

Dude, there were plenty of Quincies that were not Jobbers.

>>147598950
Uryu wasn't a Sternritter

Besides, Juha Bach, Haschwalth, Askin, Bambietta, As Nodt, Bazz-B, Opie, BG9, Mask De Masculine, Royd Loyd and GiGi did pretty well.

For me Bleach became a lot less interesting when Ichigo lost his Hollow mask and, by extension, the inner Hollow (White Ichigo). The latter was easily one of the coolest characters and his dialogue was always great.

hard to tell if this was a volstandigg for Gerard or not. The spikes seem kind of like wings, but he's got no halo which was kind of a must, though Kubo forgot it on GiGi that one time as well.

I miss Ulquiorra. ;_;

>>147601124
you forgot the Jail. Never really got to see his vollstanding's real power did we? Only actual quincy too.

Fuck I always wanted to see Shinegami fight quincies from the day they were introduced but then Kubo had to make it Arrancar 2.0

>>147601124
>forgot to ever use it

That's like saying the Shinigami never use Shunpo because they don't say it everytime they use it. Blut is a passive ability, it was only included to show how Sternritter managed to keep pace with the Shinigami, and because Ichigo needed at least one actual Quincy power.

>>147601124
>then forgot to ever use it

Did you speedread the manga? Lille, Pernida, Gerard, and Askin all used their Volstanding. Since Blut is a passive ability, we can assume they used it too even if it wasn't explicitely showed.

>>147601476
One Piece is an adventure manga with battles, backgrounds are valued here because they give detail to the world (think OG Dragonball); the battles are just a piece of the adventure.

Bleach is a battle manga with some 'adventuring', therefore character design and dynamic paneling are the focus over backgrounds.

No, you halfwits, not that the characters forgot to use it, that Kubo forgot to utilize it. There was never any attention to the fact that the only viable strategy was to strike while the attack blut was up and the defense blut was down. Obviously he doesn't have to write in any note about it every time its used, but he would have to factor it into any relevant turning points in the fight, or at least acknowledge that it's a factor in play.

And no, Pernida and Gerard did not use their volstandigg it's a pretty clear cut ability with obvious flags, which those two in particular never gave any indication of. Obviously Lille and Askin did though, no one denied that.

I wish Kubo did more with Tosen's Suzumushi.

The whole overloading the senses thing was pretty awesome in contrast with Aizen's manipulating the senses.

>>147601361
Quilge's right there between I and K. You know, where J goes. His vollstandig was his spirit enslave power since it specifically needed his halo intact to use it would kind of follow that it had to be a vollstandig power.

>>147602259
I wish Kubo simply did more with Tousen.

The guy was a living hard counter to Kyoka Suigetsu which is why Aizen was quick to put him in his squad immediately. Despite that fact it never really went anywhere and he was nothing more than a grunt.

Even Gin got to shine one last time. Tousen got nothing.

Uryu already showed off his Volstang back in the Soul Society arc.

Miracle revealed his as well

So 18 out of the 26 isn't bad at all.

>>147602786
Uh duh. Bambietta's Volstang was bomb related. As Nodt's Volstang was Fear Related. Mask De Maskuline was Star related.

Their Volstangs are all related to their shrift abilities.

>>147602786
>>147602390
we just went through this, if it weren't still in the thread I'd I feel like I was having dejavu. sklaverei, his reishi enslaving thing. breaking his halo supposedly loosed his control, so that implies he can't use that power without the halo, and the halo is part of his volstandig form.

>>147603145
what does sklaverei have to do with the jail tho? I though it was a standard quincy absorption thing like when Ishida went Lets Still which is essentially like vollstanding but more powerful.

>>147601862
Aizen likes to observe orange haired teenagers.

>>147603218
No, it was unique to Qhilge. He had the ability to enslave reishi, which was an aspect of his shrift.

>>147603316
That makes sense. But I guess it overlaps with Letz still powers. At least that's how I see it.

Soul King is just a Lynchpin. He's a plot device like the Tesseract in the MCU. Or Izuru Kamakura in Dangan Ronpa Universe.

All three are alive, but they exist as a integral part of the universe. They are not meant to have any form or personality, goals, hobbies, motivations, etc.

With his attractive character designs and talent for expressions, I think Kubo would be fairly good at depicting sexual tension. Not sexual tension as in "I tripped and my hand fell on your boob", I mean sexual tension as in staring at each other, running a hand through the other's hair, and embracing one another. Stuff like that.

Danzoumaru, Don Kanonji, Yoruichi, Yuushiro, Love, Harribel, Gantenbein. Like >>147617544 said it kind of depends on where you're drawing the line, they're all characters with dark skin, but because of how spirit world technicalities work it's not like they're of african decent.

it did a weird host of things that were all sort of unrelated. sword duplicates, hypnotic sleep song, then the sensory blackout bankai. I guess you can relate them all back to the cricket theme at least, but that's about it. It was also a little odd that he took the sword from his dead friend and it retained shape for him. His bankai was also the longest named. Really, a lot of things about tousen just didn't quite line up right. Kubo sure did love giving him new outfits and hair though.

a reminder than when Byakuya first appeared with Renji, they didn't have a captain's haori or lieutenant's badge, and their relationship was implied to be more that of a feudal lord and his retainer than that of an organization's manager and assistant. When the idea of the gotei and captain status were introduced, Gin and Zaraki were the first of the 13 captains to appear after Byakuya.

>>147621206
honestly I always liked him better with his face covered. The very first helmet and the one he wore as a seated gotei member are my favorites. They have a japanese monk sorta vibe about them.

>>147620728

His zan is 'Heavenly Punishment'.

>>147620920
Given how many characters show an attraction to Orihime, I'm not counting out the possibility she's descended from literal semen demons.

>>147621421
Yes, I'm aware, which is why I said the monk look suits him. As opposed to the Y/T shaped visor helmet he had fighting Bambietta, or even the weird rigged bolted bucket thing he had fighting Zaraki.

>>147621566
Pretty sure the helmet is based off the full-cover helmets that they used to wear in feudal Japan to disgrace ronin

>>147621341
Look at the chapter where Kyoraku releases him and offers him to sit on Da chair. He has his lower lip back.

You and me both, that's the one I meant. I was actually really fond of Komamura and Tousen's opposing themes (Heavenly Monk v. Devil Cricket) and thought it was among the better fights in the Winter War.

another funfact for komamura: his familyname is written
>狛
"Koma" as in 狛犬:"komainu"
1. (stone) guardian lion-dogs at Shinto shrine
Wikipedia definition
2. Komainu, often called lion-dogs in English, are statue pairs of lion-like creatures either guarding the entrance or the inner shrine of many Japanese Shinto shrines or kept inside the inner shrine itself, where they are not visible to the public. The first type, born during the Edo period, is called sandō komainu, the second and much older type jinnai komainu . They can sometimes be found also at Buddhist temples, nobility residences or even private homes.
>村
"Mura" meaning "village"

Japanese family names pretty much work the same as in the west; they're either taken from the place the family lived in or the job the family had. So Komamura was always implied to be from a literal "Guardian Lion-Dog Village"

As for his given name...
>左
"Sa" meaning "left" as in left-hand side, but also coloquially used to mean "following" in regards to things like Japanese vertical writing where text starts top right and reads down within a column, and leftwards from column to column.
>陣
"Jin" meaning a "battle formation" or a "military encampment" or sometimes just "position" in regards to military movements.

It's a little less portentous but to me it sounds like another play on the komainu. Since they guard locations and come in pairs the name he was given seems to suggest he was the left side of the pair assigned to a military camp at birth or at least upon being named.

It's going to be risque sketches of the two main couples in cuddling in bed naked, their naughty bits covered by blankets.

There will also be no acknowledgement of what happened to the characters whose fates we know nothing of. Nobody is satisfied except for a subset of teenage girls who got way too invested in the romance. Kubo stumbles off into the sunset to do God-knows-what.

>>147623720
>that Bleach was about Ichiruk
It was. The mistake was assuming the focus on their relationship was a romantic one, which while up in the air for 99% of the manga, Kubo took specific care to tiptoe around.

It stopped being the case before the SS arc was even done.

and then yes she got written out of the bulk of the bloodwar arc, as did practically everyone.

but the bulk of Ichigo's character moments were either rukia or hollow/zangetsu centered. It was never about them having any romantic compatibility, it was about her being there as a friend to motivate him when he got all mopey.

>>147624127
don't even start this shit. yes the bottom line is that all shippers are garbage, but as far as /a/'s history with bleach goes the rukia fanboys never produced anything as cancerous as parkranger, nor was there as strong a fallout on either to for or against front from anything rukia related. They've had shitposting image spammers at worst, nothing as delusional as what a small handful of orihime fans managed to sink to.

Get a fucking grip. The story stopped being IR-centric after the SS arc. I mean ffs even after Rukia gives Ichigo back his powers and gives him that mentor-like speech, Kubo doesn't show them just having a normal convo. He doesn't even bother to have Ichigo and her say bye before he leaves SS at the end of the arc.

I really loved their relationship in the beginning, but then it got so fucking boring.
-they would argue(like ichigo does with literally 95% of the cast)
-then she kicks/hits him(got old real quick for me)
-gives him a mentor-like speech and/or puts him in his place with tough love(just like isshin/yoruichi/renji/tatsuki/ganju have-hell even chad with how he threw ichigo and scolded him over the whole uryu being on yhwachs side drama)

>>147625972

I guess it's about the kind smile ichigo gave everyone but rukia. After a heartfelt moment with a character in the final arc Ichigo had a closeup panel with a kindhearted smile on his face. Ichirukis were mad he didn't smile to rukia like that.

>>147628350
He didn't with Chad either. All they had was the thumbs-up moment.

If they wanna take that as the Ichigo/Chad moment(which they probably do since they havent complained about it) then they might as well take the scene where Rukia thanks Ichigo in the hospital as the Ichigo/Rukia moment.

>>147628348

Wut. No.

I think that's what the other person was trying to imply, since he brought up the fact that Kubo closed his twitter account on her birthday.

I still don't understand why Kubo ended Bleach the way he did. I mean, I know he was planning for Ichigo and Orihime to end up together, but I thought Ichigo was finally going to walk Orihime home or something like that. I wasn't expecting a full-on view of their domestic life. Still kind of mad we won't know what happened to the others until the last volume, and even then, some might slip through the cracks.

>>147629890
There is a rumor about the last volume thai it will have 12 chapters. He might add something.

>>147630047
>12 chapters.
Definitely just a rumor. At most, we'll get one extra chapter.

I think he's going add a few more panels to the last chapter if anything.

>>147629890
I don't get what Kubo was thinking either. I think he knew the timeframe he was working with since it ended on the 15th anniversary-a number always associated with Ichigo + JUMP isn't going to tell him "hey bud, wrap this up in the next two chapters". It's just that he once again introduced too many characters, dedicated a bunch of chapters on stupid shit(said characters), introduced too many story-lines, and continued on with his awful pacing.

I do think he intended for the whole married, raising a family happy ending though since it's a standard for the fighting shounen MC-kenshin/naruto/db are the first that come to mind.

>>147616151
>staring at each other

Come to think of it, I can't remember any scene of "A & B hugged, and it was a tender moment" in Bleach. There's:
- Shinji and Nel glomping Orihime and Ichigo, respectively, but the recipients don't hug back.
- Gigi hugging Bambi, but it's in a creepy way.
- Rangiku and Orihime hug, but the panel is small and the drawing chibi

What if Kubo reveals in the last volume that Uryu is seeing or engaged to a cute nurse?

Unlike Salad though, Kazui and Ichika's parentages are obvious in their physique.

>>147625706
>Renji almost got rukia killed
No he didn't. He was posturing at her in order to scare her into surrendering, and the conversation beforehand, when he and Byakuya were just two faceless dudes:
>capture or kill
>this isn't a job for a shinigami
even suggests that he's reluctant about doing it

The most you can say about Renji in his first chapter is manhandling and looking to happy about attacking her.

>>147628600
He talked to LoN, that's where I have it from.

>>147631284

Sarada is super obvious though.
-Sasuke in the looks department.
-Sakura personality wise, especially temper.

Temperament is nurture and nature. Your evironment can greatly affect how you turn out mentally.

>>147631588
>He talked to LoN
But how would LoN get that info? He use to get the spoilers from Yonkou all the time. Unless they personally know Kubo or his editors or someone at JUMP then shouldn't it be impossible to know the contents of the final volume this early? According to amazon jp, it's out 11/4.

>>147631734
No, I mean LoN and Yonkou were talking and Yonkou said he looked forward to the shitstorm when the volume is released.
Actually Yonkou sounds more apologetic to Bleach with each passing day. Kind of like these threads.

>>147631810
>Actually Yonkou sounds more apologetic to Bleach with each passing day.
Doesn't really comment on it from what I've seen.

>>147631858
He has said that he misses Bleach and that the shitstorm over its ending surpassed the Naruto shitstorm.

>>147628943
This doesn't sound like he has info, but more like us expecting shipfags to shitstorm on the slightest bit of anything. We know there will be a cover, a volume title, a poem and chapter sketches. Any of those could be the trigger.

>>147632077
>he misses Bleach and that the shitstorm over its ending surpassed the Naruto shitstorm.
He misses the shitstorm if anything since he didn't even read bleach. It was the first time I saw him getting attacked over spoilers(I/Rs not wanting to accept the ending/calling him a liar etc), he probably thought it was hilarious.

>>147630047
>>147630138
Wth, there's no need to speculate as if it's an unknown, it's simply counting the number of chapters not yet published in volume form (675 to 686).

Would Kubo be able to fit one more chapter in the final volume?

You can pick up personality through upbringing, and she was raised by Sakura.

But physically, she looks like little Sasuke, and Kishi's sameface syndrome is worse than Kubo's so identifying the Sakura in her through things like eyebrow/eyelash/etc is hard as well. On top of that he gave her glasses the same shape as Karin's. He's really setting up for that Maury gaiden.

For the majority of your childhood she would be taller than you, so it could be really bad. Unless she would see her little brother like a cute thing instead of something that needs to be straightened up. At least being taller than Rukia blunts her edge.

You would have the privilege of reviewing her art all the time, of course.

Weren't they a gift from Karin to Sarada?

Nah, look at the panel you posted. Kubo was teasing us.

>>147589955
Askin was so fucking awesome, I never rooted for fictional character this much before. Not a single bit of edgyness despite being a major villain, calm and rational despite looking goody as fuck. He could work perfectly as a good character without any changes in his personality, and despite this he worked very well as an antagonist. He really was the best thing in the final arc and (personally to me) one of the best things in the manga.

>>147632738

Kubo has that same problem with same face.

Yes they were gifted to her from Karin

I wouldn't be surprised if Kubo adds a little something for them this final volume. Toshiro obviously has feelings for her.

This is true, though. It's just that they're not obsessed with IchiRuki to the point of throwing a tantrum when it didn't happen.

-Bring up their english degrees to proof that they're reading bleach-a manga aimed at teenagers-the "right" way
-Take the sticker and musical seriously when those two things are very blatant fanservice to bring in $$$
-Constantly with the whole ~chemistry~ argument even though the I/R bond has been the same since forever. They argue, she hits him, gives him a mentor-like speech, and thats it.
-Constantly bring up colorspreads and the whole ~black sun and white moon~ titles. The beach spread was obviously fanservice and the black moon/white sun was used on fucking databooks. Not even in canon.
-Sure its the most bleach popular pairing back in Japan, but they still didnt rage or brag about burning their shit(if they did) when the final chapter came out.

What pisses you off more? Never seeing Aizen's bankai or never seeing what Ichigo's new bankai did?

>>147635365

>>147635395
Never seeing what Ichigo's new bankai did. Kubo probably couldn't come up with anything.
