Bleach Thread

>>151518950
I'm actually sort of surprised that translators are suddenly interested in full translations of Bleach LNs, is the demand higher now that the manga has been completed? I'd love to see a full translation of the Spirits Are Forever With You novels.

>>151519271
It's most likely because the chapters can be accessed for free on the Bleach app in Japan.

>>151518950
I've been stalking /a/ for a full summary of the novel. I always thought Bleach did better as a slice of life then an all out battle shounen and the novel provides that.

I'm considering it to be canon because of how involved Kubo is. I wonder if his oneshot for SJ will incorporate things from the novel or if he will still feature the characters as teens in it.

>>151519271
>I'd love to see a full translation of the Spirits Are Forever With You novels.

Someone has translated the post-script for SAFWY: http://untuned-strings.blogspot.ca/2013/06/bleach-spirits-are-forever-with-you.html

But sadly, I haven't found any full translation of the novels yet.

>>151520362
> To think that there was someone who had such a deep understanding of Bleach! And to think that I would end up giving someone else the scene I wanted to show!
>Normally, I would ask the author to remove such a scene because I had it planned for myself. But I was so overjoyed by the fact that Mr. Narita caught on to this plot point that I asked him to leave the scene in the novel.

Kubo is such a bro.

>>151520297
I'm considering it canon because it just gives off closure for a lot of characters that weren't shown in the last chapters like Kira and Komamura.

Who can translate here?

>>151518950
C-Can someone spoil it for me? How did Youruichi and Uruhara survived?

>>151524587
Doesn't say how they survived, just that they did. Nel was probably the one to save them since she was going to do that the last time we saw her in the manga. Yoruichi is a teacher at the academy, and Urahara sent Renji and Rukia a voicemail congratulating them.

>>151520362
I need the Aizen x Kenpachi meeting in Muken. I remember it was translated by DB and they were gloating bc they had TLs.

>>151523061
No one. Or we'd have a summary by now.

>>151518950
So wait, my man Kira is getting sexed by Yoruichi? Now that is out of left field.

>>151525540
He's not. She's being nosy and wants to see the hole in his chest which is why she's stripping him.

Can someone post images of the pages before/after Ichigo confesses?

>>151525667
There's just one and nothing has been confirmed yet. Majority of readersthink he's confessing because her face and his expression/body language and because Renji encourages him to confess his feelings.

>>151525750
I meant the text pages.

>>151525775
Not sure where the whole convo starts since I don't read Japanese. I'll do the last two pages. It must there since the story ends with Ichihime sketch.

Alright only this page is about them during this scene >>151525750.

>While they were having a silly chat, the World Penetration Gate came into view, far away. The trio ahead of them already reached it and were talking there.
>Ichigo took a big, deep breath.
>'Hey, Inoue.'
>He stopped and looked at Orihime.
>'What?'
>Orihime tilted her head to look up to him.

>'Say... Next time, could you make some time for me?'

This may sound odd, but it's meant as a 'won't you date me/marry me/become mine?' from the context.

>>151527603

The release of text in digital form helps. Without that, a translator either has to own a copy or wait for scans, and scans are hard to come by since it involves a lot of work and ruining books. They can't easily look up kanjis online as well.

Anyway, MissStormCaller has a copy so there's no problem of access now, just a question of endurance.

>>151528300
MissStormCaller is Renruki fan so she'll definitely translate it.

>>151527603
The context is not that far, he's asking for her time in order to properly confess, after being peptalked by Renji.

>>151528403
As far as I can tell, she's meant to know what he's talking about. His speech is a polite "won't you do it".

>>151528287
I can't believe I lived to see the day that Ichigo asks Orihime to "have some time for him."

What a time to be alive!

I thought the Hisagi novel took place in the timeframe of the epilogue chapters.

>>151528704
I thought it starts some time after the war and ends some time before the last chapter which would be a really big gap of time.

>>151528785
When it was announced it was also said Hisagi is going to face some "secret" (or something like this) enemy. Going by his conversation with Hitsugaya, Rangiku and Kensei nothing like this has happened prior to Rukia becoming captain. So it should happen later.

>>151530290

Or they don't know/Kubo didn't think the scene through in relation to the novel.

There's an advertisement for the Hisagi novel in this novel.

>>151530717
What ship? How can something be better when it doesn't even exist?

>>151530823
Why Hisagi out of all the characters in Bleach? I'd rather read a Chad or Keigo novel over Hisagi.

>Kubo didn't think the scene through in relation to the novel.
Come on, like this you can take out any scene from the manga. We should assume that this novel won't contradict the manga until proven otherwise. You can say that manga is self-contradictory in some places, but if I recall correctly Narita tried to explain some of these contradictions in SAFWY, so the guy pays some serious attention to detail.
>>151531194
Byakuya got filler arc...

>>151531014
The best opportunity to write about Hisana is actually this RR wedding novel, but seems like the editors/Kubo/Matsubara chose not to.

Some fanfics had her as an oiran and I agree it's one of the few viable ways a Rukongai woman can ever cross paths with the heir of Kuchiki.

>>151531862
>Aizen is better off as an enigma.
I agree.

>>151531996
its just lazy writing

>>151531484
Different kanji.

>I checked, in "Turn Back The Pendulum 3", Urahara indeed states that Gotei 13 members can't officially retire (脱退), but they can take leave (休隊) due to personal reasons. If they do this long enough and there's no expectation that they'll return, then Central 46 will 'remove their name from register' (除籍). Members can't retire in a straightforward manner, that's all.

>The novel uses a different kanji for 'retire', 引退. Probably to avoid having to explain this complicated system.

Also, different time. By the time Seinosuke retired, Urahara already left SS, having subverted the system by taking Mayuri out of the Maggot's Nest and putting him in a respectable position.

The omake in which Renji's predecessor retired from 6th VC to open his own sunglasses shop also came out before TBTP arc.

>>151531555
His glasses shop is in Seiretei, I think Urahara didn't mean situation like this (retiree can still be easily observed).

>>151532542
i always thought unohana had accidently killed seinosuke in a rampage during a mission and felt sorry for it - assuming her Retsu persona (kinda like Athene did after accidentally killing Pallas) as penance.

>tfw no novel about unohana and her killing sprees

why live?

>>151531477
This was a line from a fake spoiler that I liked.
>We see a Flashback of a Young Aizen playing tag with other children. A few adults appear and there seems to be a problem. Aizen explains that he's the strongest and known as the Captain of Justice who will protect everyone who follows him as the other children hide behind his back.

I would like a story about a young, idealistic Aizen who eventually grows into masterminding adversary we all know and love. We'll get to know why he hates the Soul King and his full relationship with Kisuke.

>>151532707
She was already Retsu in TBTP, where Seinosuke is alive and well.

>>151532833
Seinosuke still could be dead, but from a different reason.

>>151532799
;-; stop

>>151532833
makes me wonder why she changed. maybe she didnt feel like the kenpachi any more? and adopted that persona.

>>151532707
She was already Retsu before that.

In fact, I want to read about how she became Retsu, her interactions with Genryuusai and Kirinji in the past, and how people reacted when she became Retsu.

>>151532922
either way there was a reason he wasnt murdered on sight after helping ichigo and co during the first invasion. i think only ukitakes intervention stopped it.

i always thought she and yama had a pact not to fight eachother. either out of respect or the fact that the world could end if they did fight. shes the only character whose abilities had to be locked in Muken. zaraki was let loose in the seireitei before. its her powers that forced the use of muken.

Rukia thanks the Gotei 13 gang (I think) for not only giving her the beautiful veil but the ceremony as well.
Renji urges Ichigo to confess to Orihime because she's such a nice girl and he shouldn't make her wait too long. Ichigo says he knows and grumbles about Renji being a hypocrite when it took HIM decades. Orihime is talking to Ishida and Chad, so Renji goes over and says he needs to talk with the men so Orihime should go away. Orihime comes over to Ichigo and they talk a bit, she mentions how nice Rukia looked, etc.

Then it's >>151527603

>>151529409
It's still up. They're doing fine. They even welcome naruhina fans in general discussion sections. Your guys always exaggerated the salt levels of NS fans. Not that the forum isn't full of salt but they manage to talk about it without eating reach other alive.

>>151535446
Both are threats.

>>151535437
NS were never that awful to begin with. Although I am biased, since I've held a grudge toward NH since they harassed ladygt for not taking naruhina commissions, then made themselves out to be the victims.

>>151535577
NHfags do that all the time. They instigate fights and then play victim. It happens all the time on /a/.

Also this one twitter account called mishakeet who has no fucking chill whatsoever and seems to have a hatred for narusaku that surpasses healthy or sane levels.

>>151535199
>Rukia thanks the Gotei 13 gang (I think) for not only giving her the beautiful veil
Wait, what? Orihime is the one to make the veil for her. This has already been confirmed.

>>151535663
Even though they won the ship war, they aren't happy. They have too much bitterness in their hearts to be truly happy. When your "happiness" comes from another person's unhappiness, you reveal a lot about yourself.

Oh wait, I saw a post on 2ch that said Orihime got everyone in the group to help sew the veil or something along those lines. The people on 2ch felt that Rukia was really loved because of that.

>>151535199
Thank you for this.

>>151535399
And this >>151526233 is only page 202 out of 256? I don't understand the structure of this novel anymore. Guess I can only wait for translation or explanation from people who can actually read it.

>>151535960
Orihime made the Gotei 13 sew Rukia's veil. What.

>>151534063
>>151534206

It's Renji. He's seeing Ichigo and Orihime off to the Human World.

>>151535921
I still hold them firm belief that they would have reacted worse than the NSfags did if Hinata lost the Narutobowl to Sakura. NaruHina was pretty much the IchiRuki of Naruto.

>Orihime BTFO

>>151536127
Maybe Orihime is more distant and difficult to get to know than she lets on. If she's still this unwilling to drop the honorifics. Or maybe Kubo just thinks it's cute.

>>151536127
Pretty sure she does the same with with Tatsuki and that's her bestfriend.

>>151536127
She calls Tatsuki, "Tatsuki-chan" if I'm correct. Orihime always uses honorifics.

>>151536127
she respects her too much?

>>151536374
Orihime uses honorifics with everyone from what I remember.

>>151536288
It is cute.

>>151536327
Tatsuki isn't her family name, though.

>>151535749
Then I guess it was her human friends, since she says they'll meet again in the Human World and "returns to the back of the shop".

>>151536288
>>151536327
>>151536374
It's just part of her character, like how Shizuka calls Nobita "Nobita-san" even when the kid is a total loser.

>>151536289
>>151536327
It's not about the honorific, but the last name.

>>151536613
>she says they'll meet again in the Human World and "returns to the back of the shop".
Rukia said this? That's nice, it confirms that they do manage to see each other more during the 10 years.

>>151536614
>1000 years of friendship
>Kyouraku and Ukitake still use surnames to refer to each other
If you get used to something, sometimes you just don't feel like changing it.

>>151536756
I forgot a little less extreme example - Hinamori, Kira and Renji are also close friends since 50 years.

>>151536613
Maybe Rukia is just thanking Orihime and/or Ishida. I don't see how Ichigo and Chad will be sewing a wedding veil.

>>151536847
I think Orihime has everyone do a part, or at least try to.

>>151536070
>nah the third person was Renji walking them to the Senkaimon. Initially Orihime was walking with Chad and Uryuu, and Renji was talking to Ichigo encouraging him to confess to Orihime. Renji then created an opportunity by getting Chad and Uryuu to walk with him ahead, leaving Ichigo to be with Orihime a few steps behind.

Renji best wingman.

I really wish the manga didn't end so soon. I miss making fake spoilers of the newest chapter. One even made it on OPM through some bizarre process.

Just checked the main characters page. Kenpachi, Toshiro, Ikkaku, Yumichika, Mayuri, and that one shinigami kid the gang saved in the beginning of the last arc are featured. I guess they have a scene in the novel.

So I suppose the one who said the context is "marry me/be mine" is putting something that's not there? This can be interpreted as "go on a date with me" but not a "be mine".

Let's all get drunk and watch Bleach together.

I'm not Japanese, but looking at the context I think he's making it clear he has something really important he wants to tell her.

He just doesn't want to confess in front of everyone like that. On the other hand, if he doesn't act now, he may not have the courage to bring up the topic later.

Someone gave a summary about the Byakuya/Rukia picture

-Byakuya mentions happiness(shiwase ni) that only Rukia hears. This is why she looks surprised in the sketch.

-She nearly tears up at the sentimentality and he tells her not to cry, puts his hand on her shoulder, and encourages her along to where Renji and the priest wait

-Her veil is pure, pure white and the embroidery is golden so it shines like the sunset(or something along those lines)

-Ichigo and Orihime are both taking pictures of the ceremony

Niisama strikes again.

By sectjackal:

The postscripts (authors’ commentary)
(bulky summary with a rough, literal translation)
Tite Kubo -

He had not planned at all to write anything additional to the ending he wrote when the editorial company asked him if he planned to draw Rukia’s wedding ceremony. After the last battle, he wanted to skip time to where Ichigo and Rukia’s children had met and ended it of which he wanted to draw. He did not mean to add anything to it. Matsubara wanted him to draw for the novel. Makoto-sensei said to Kubo-sensei that if he did not draw the confession and proposal scenes in the wedding novel that the readers plus himself would surely not be satisfied/accept. It worked out well in the end. He thinks those who like Rukia and Ichigo just like him will cry for sure.
Matsubara Makoto -

To commemorate the completion of BLEACH, Matsubara-sensei wanted to write a story about Ichigo, Orihime, Rukia and Renji’s marriage, that was that. However, they did not write about [RenRuki’s (and IchiOri’s?)] confession of love and marriage proposal because did not want to disturb the imagination of “I guess these two are surely like this” with fans by describing it solid, and hopes the work help everyone’s imagination to fill in the “blank decade” [between Yhwach’s defeat and the epilogue].

Matsubara confirmed to be a guy.

"the readers plus himself would surely not be satisfied"

>editorial company asked him if he planned to draw Rukia’s wedding ceremony.

Theres your answers folks, as to why this novel was written.

More like Japanese rarely use a pronoun and the translator made a (wrong) guess.

There are also languages with gender neutral third person pronoun.

Native English speakers, please learn foreign languages so you don't assume everything works like English.

This supports my guess that Bleach wasn't cancelled, Kubo just can't bear working as a mangaka anymore. That's why he doesn't have new projects announced immediately. That's why he suddenly started twitter again, posted the comic about the dead kid story, and doesn't post anything after that.

Maybe he'll become the fashion designer he clearly wanted to be.

That projecting

To think that Ichigo has twice offered to walk her home already.

Third time's a charm.
HOWERVER HE WAITED THREE FUCKING YEARS TO DO IT

>>151539658
It's supposed to be obvious what he wants to asks. It's like if I was talking about you about handjobs and then told you could you help me out?

Look up the Kanji for Masaki on the wiki. Search for that in the book. Nigga.

Depends on how good Yhwach is at seducing.

>>151553196
He got a fine piece of ass like Haschwalth on his side.
But Kazui will choose to go to uncle Aizen.

It's obvious to the reader what he wants to tell her, but for Orihime it's not as clear cut since they're not even dating yet. It's different with, for example, the end of FMA when Ed told Winry, "Equivalent exchange! I'll give you half my life so give me half of yours!" and the implication of proposal is clear. "I'm about to confess to you" is not the same stage as "marry me".

That obstinate bastard could have been hitting that the whole time since the end of the manga, if he had asked sooner.
