This is the most kubo'd we've ever been kubo'd.
>>151583406
Hime/Yuzu/Karin translations when?
>>151583406
Ah, so there's one sketch previously not described, which is Isawa Genji.
I like Riruka's watch.
>>151583492
it went from a fun Kuboi'ing to just plain shit. He always had something in the bag left for us. Now theres nothing left.
>>151583492
Don't you get what Kubo's trying to say with the dead kid comic? Hisheartis just not in it anymore.
If it's up to Kubo he'd just drop everything and quit cold turkey. Editors are the ones who told him to at least write an ending, and Matsubara talked him into doing illustrations for the novel.
>>151584211
>His heart is just not in it anymore.
Poor Kubo.
The person that gave us the Byakuya and Rukia summary will be posting more spoilers soon.
>>151583492
The final arc started out promising but Kubo himself was the problem, dragging that shit out to obscene levels
More Aizen when?
>>151583637
Hopefully soon. I wonder if Karin said anything else about her.
>>151583492
Kubo wanted to end the manga with Ichika and Kazui. He really didn't care about anything else from what it seems. Just that those two meeting happened in the very end.
I wish verduistering was the one doing translations, other people sometimes make awkward sentences or misunderstood words, or let their shipping bias seep into the translation. By the time they were corrected, simple-minded fans already ran with the previous inaccurate translation.
>>151584716
>soon
What does it mean?
There was someone in the previous thread that said Orihime knew what Ichigo was talking about when he told her he needed to tell her something, and it turns out the person that gave us the summary to Byakuya/Rukia scene said the same thing.
Reminder that Orihime is shilled like a new iPhone in this novel.
>>151586229
Did you seriously come to the thread to only say this?
>>151586229
>novel about a wedding
>of one of the otp
>gets mad that the other otp also gets it fair share of content, even when both are close friends
nigga, i don't get you
Since someone brought her up.
How old is Orihime in the novel? 19 or 20? How much has her cup size increased? Ichigo paizuri fetish yes?
>>151586531
>About 20
>IDK
>Most definitely
>>151586664
why does he look so mesmerized
>>151586531
She was 27 in the final chapter and 10 years passed, so she should be 20 during this novel.
>>151586664
>"Holy fucking shit, a whole entire fist."
As someone who hasn't shipped anything in Bleach's whole run, IH and RR are pretty cute. Bleach is good when it's just about the gang getting together for random shenanigans and I'd watch an entirely romance-focused volume or movie like NaruHina.
>>151587384
>IH and RR are pretty cute.
No, they''re not!
>>151587403
Well you can keep thinking that and being mad about things you can't control.
>orihime will never wake you up in her cute messy morning state
why live
>>151587435
do you think that she gets kinky with the jelly?
>>151586733
>>151587148
Ichi's a boob man just like his pop, no matter how hard he denies it.
>>151588597
Ichigo was never pure. Just repressed.
I miss Ulquiorra
They really need to let it die and be forgotten. I have nothing good to say about the series, I barely "like" characters who were my favorites, and I have 0 interest in shipping or the light novels, so why do I keep having dreams about Bleach?
>>151589067
That's a lot. But, the novel is well loved it seems.
>>151589101
Of all the characters Kubo killed off, of which there were few, he was the best decision. His death brought about my favorite fight in Bleach.
Byakuya should have went with him.
>>151589078
Whether pure or repressed, Ichigo is cute.
>>151589140
Japanese fans tend to like making these "shrines". Hence the birthday cakes and stuff. And they rarely if ever show their face in social media.
I miss this goofy side of Ichigo. He became too serious towards the end of the manga.
Anyone have that "I had nothing but sex on my mind" thing with Rukia? I can't believe it was actually accurate.
Also
>Ichika was named after Orihime and Ichigo
>Ichika looks like Senna with red hair
>Ichika's got Rukia's brattyness and Renji's rudeness
Also reminder that Yuzu wants affection.
>>151589657
Here you go.
>>151589692
I actually read that in her dub voice. cute. Now why does Yuzu want affection, doesn't she get plenty of that already?
>>151589869
She's a degenerate.
>>151589956
>degenerate
>for wanting affection
That doesn't even make sense!
>>151589869
Orihime reminds her of her mom, so she wants affection from her.
>>151590024
It's a joke. Anon is implying that Yuzu wants her brother's girlfriend to pamper her. Sexually.
In reality, Yuzu just wants to be taken care of because the death of her mother left a void in her life.
>>151590024
but the kind of affection she is looking for is not apropiate
>>151585162
She was one of DB's translators.
>>151586531
This is where she tried to heal the SK and where I suspect Yheach used the Almighty to change the future and make her powers inefective.
>>151589692
Pure gold.
>>151589657
>Ichika was named after Orihime and Ichigo
So was Kazui named by Aizen?
>>151590594
Ichigo thought he came up with Kazui's name himself.
The truth is, he was only under the impression.
>>151586664
All that is missing is dripping saliva from his nouth.
>>151589491
>Ichigo is cute.
I'll say.
>>151592347
reminds me a bit of Dante from devil may cry
>>151593058
Kubo went full edgy in a lot of Ichigo aspects
>Inner demon!
>Edgy serious goth!
>black and red aura!
How fast do you think Kazui would be at his peak?
>>151593201
>Edgy serious goth!
I don't think you know what goths are.
>black and red aura
That was anime, manga Ichigo was just black.
>>151594321
>Hiyori's hat
Did she start working at the eel shop?
>>151592347
For a moment I thought Haschwalth had a brother.
>>151594420
Is Unagi also a shinigami?
>>151589101
Me too. I wish Kubo had thrown us a bone. Wasn't Ulquihime more popular than Ichihime in Japan?
>>151595316
He threw you dust instead.
>>151590533
>those were "fuck me" eyes all along
Beautiful.
>>151595316
Honestly, the source for that popularity comparison claim was iffy. I had the data from those 2006-2007 polls that was the origin of that fanlore, but the polls' methodology were not clear. In one of the polls, IchigoxTatsuki was even more popular than IchiRuki and RenRuki.
>>151595738
>the source for that popularity comparison claim was bleachness
I just finished reading this. Fuck me, I don't know if I've ever felt so buttfucked by an ending to something, it was so rushed. What else is there for me to get into with Bleach?
>>151596298
Go to the OP and read what's in the links.
>>151584838
Continuation
Fuck, that would be Kubo-ish
>>151596278
Data about that poll from the IchiHime forum in 2007
>>151596551
Why do you have screencaps from 2007?
>>151596551
And this is the poll made by a Bleach videgame to decide what couple fans wanted to get the cover for it
>>151596663
The thread about that poll is still on the IchiHime forum
>>151596551
Holy fuck that brings back old times. I didn't expect someone to screencap my post from 9 years ago.
I looked up my old Bleach folder and all I had related to that poll is this image (that was in that post) and the spreadsheet with the numbers, but none of the saved pages (that I've forgotten completely about, apparently I saved them at one point?).
>>151596683
>2nd place AizenxOrihime
nice
What year was this one from?
>>151596806
2008. Ichihime placed sixth. iirc the AiHime fanclub at BA spammed the poll with bots.
>tfw no novel about Unohana and her killing sprees
>>151596858
You already got Zaraki Kenpachi. You want to showcase another edgemaster now?
>>151596903
B-but she's an edgemaster with tits!
>>151596903
>Zaraki Kenpachi
Literally fanservice:the character
I haven't watched or read bleach since like, after he killed Ulqueoira.
Is it ever explained how Ichigo got to be part hallow, part soul reaper, part human, part Quincy?
>>151597134
If you haven't watched or read Bleach since after he killed Ulquiorra, how do you know Ichigo is part quincy?
>>151597195
Because I have the abilty to read and I can see what people say in threads while glancing over them.
>>151596714
This made me revisit the IchiHime forum after so many years.
And to think when this was posted, I called it likely fake.
>>151597134
>Is it ever explained how Ichigo got to be part hallow, part soul reaper, part human, part Quincy?
His father is a shinigami, his mother is a human/quincy, his hollow come from one of Aizen's experiments
>>151589869
Yuzu has no mom. Orihime is mom tier.Rukia was Ichigo's new mom.
>>151597561
Ah, simple enough. Thank you.
>>151597611
That was Ikumi
>>151596683
Is this IchigoxToshiro on fifth place?
>>151596853
>the AiHime fanclub at BA spammed the poll with bots.
??
>>151597431
>san diego comic con
Is this what he really said back then?
>>151599090
Who knows.
He did say these then:
>SJ: Do you have any plans to make Ichigo and Rukia a couple?
>Kubo-sensei: I'm not going to confirm nor deny that. [Laughs]
>* 1:50 PM - Will there be an Isshin backstory? Yes! He knew from the start he was a Soul Reaper.
>Q: Speaking of Ichigo's relationships with his friends, there seems to be a love triangle between Ichigo, Rukia and Orihime. Do you delve more into this in later volumes?
>Tite Kubo: (laughs) I get asked about that a lot! I don't want to make Bleach into a love story because there are much more exciting things about their personalities and things that they can do instead of getting into the romance aspect of their relationships.
>Tite Kubo: After I finished drawing chapter one, I already knew that Ichigo's dad Isshin would be a Soul Reaper. At the time, I didn't plan on having leaders in the Soul Society, so I didn't plan on him being one of the leaders.
>Q: Will you feature a back story about Isshin?
>Tite Kubo: Yes, I will draw it!
>IGN: What are your plans for the future of Bleach? Do you have an ending in mind?
>Kubo: There is no ending for Bleach at the moment.
(so the thing about wanting to end with Ichigo's kid meeting Rukia's kid was a lie, or that answer was a lie)
>>151599016
Yes.
Keep in mind they're not asking for romantic pairings, but the pair of characters they want on the cover.
>>151599557
What he said is that the series was still going, not ending yet
>>151589692
Kek
>>151599557
He said this too:
Q: For a shonen series, Bleach spends a lot focusing on the emotions and different bonds between the characters. I’m sure you’re asked this a lot, but will we ever see any romance by the end of the series?
Kubo: I don’t really intend to make it a romantic story, but it’s one of the aspects of the series, so I put it in here and there.
And later in 2008, for the the Fade to Black movie guide interview he said this:
Q: What do you think the bond is that these two have with each other?
Kubo:: It’s different from friendship but it’s not an romantic feeling either, these 2’s relationship, I think there is no other relationship like them in other works where despite both standing in a very close position with each other it is not romance (laughs)
But in this year’s movie there is a scene where Ichigo says Rukia is his “Precious nakama” and I think that explains their relationship well.
>>151599043
The AiHime fanclub at Bleachasylum had a decent amount of posters back during the site's prime. It was headed by Maltex, who most IR fans hated because of his translations. To this day I still don't know if they had a right to hate him because he was a shit translator or simply because he exposed their translations as biased towards IR.
Obviously the pairing didn't get to 2nd place because it's actually popular. Either they used bots or cleared their cache to vote multiple times. Or at least I always assumed AiHime placing that high was the result of mass cheating.
>>151600162
>>151599557
> because there are much more exciting things about their personalities and things that they can do instead of getting into the romance aspect of their relationships.
He should have included those much more exciting things about their personalities then. Considering what we actually got in the manga, this was a big fat lie. I'd have gladly taken several chapters worth of romance stuff, if that had meant the fight against Sniper Chicken and Asspull Thor had been halved, or if we could have skipped some of the mook Sternritter fights.
>>151600027
I remember another translator the irs hated-sheetz. Every one that wasn't part of their clique basically.
The relationship between Ichigo and Rukia always struck me as more of a bromance, like Riggs and Murtaugh in Lethal Weapon or any other buddy cop movie, so I'm ok with how things turned out. I'm kinda left cold by the last novel covering Rukia and Renji's wedding, since I don't really give any fucks about Renji in particular, so I didn't feel the need for them to explore that pairing beyond the technical info that they got married. I'd have been more interested in a "how Ichigo fell for Orihime" kind of story, but I guess the RR Wedding is a more convincing story hook in order to show where all the Soul Society people are, instead of doing something similar for Ichigo and Orihime. At least I got a half-assed proposal scene out of it.
Guys...I miss bleach.
I want to be Kubo'd again.

The Kubo who Kubo'd you is gone. The present Kubo is nothing but the empty husk of that man.
it sucks that we have to wait till spring next year for he Hisagi novel
>>151601493
It'll be here before you know it. The months just fly by these days.
so cute
>>151601007
I just wanted more Rukia I don't give a shit about anyone else, so wheres my Rukia, Kubo?
>>151602248
She has a few moments in the novel, but not that much. The novel flip-flops between a bunch of different shinigami.
I guess this should go in /wsr/ but I need Bleachfags' opinions so I thought I'd try asking in a Bleach thread. The thing is, my cousin is a total mad Bleachfag, and as I'm visiting Japan in a few months I thought it would be good to bring him back something Bleach related. But not really knowing much about the franchise I wouldn't know what to get there that he couldn't get here already. Any thoughts?
>>151583406
>Bleach manga ending is so shit that they have to write a novel to resolve all the plotholes and missing conclusions
you can't make that shit up.
I hope Kubo had a really interesting project in the back to be that lazy
>>151602331
Get him a keychain of his favorite character. I just checked amiami and they're sold out.
>people go on and on for months about how bleach was cancelled
>kubo reveals in the authors note that it was HIS decision to jump from the final battle to the day ichika/kazui met
Kubo wanted to end his manga that way. Stop with the "it was cancelled" meme.
>>151602436
Thanks for the suggestion. Getting something that's sold out in the online stores sounds like a good plan.
>>151602529
It doesn't mean it wasn't canceled. It could just have been that editors suggested short time skip before the epilogue. But obviously there's no proof it was canceled either (TYBW is actually pretty similar to Arrancar arc with this "abrupt ending with tons of unresolved stuff" thing, so who knows?).
>>151602076
Post more RenRuki.
>>151602529
It was clearly canceled. With the way Kubo was pacing and spending his sweet time on irrelevant shit, it was as if he thought he had another 10 years to keep drawing Bleach.
From the start of Bleach, he already planned what his final chapter would look like. So even if it was canceled he already knew his ending.
>>151593201
Ichigo? Edgy?
Ichigo started out with a pop punkish kind of style. Then he went full on shoujo manga lead gorgeous.
Ichigo doesn't give a fuck about Orihime, guys.
>>151605292
This scene is completely taken out of context. He doesn't tell her "no" because he doesn't give a shit about her or doesn't wanna hang out with her, it's because he's worried about the whole situation at hand and Orihime looks sad while watching him walk away because she also knows something is wrong.
Also she one of the people he thought about before completely breaking down(the other being Chad). If you can't accept that Ichigo cares for her a lot at this point in the story then thats on you.
>>151605292
He obviously does throughout the entire series. You specifically picked a scene with him planning to secretly train with Ginjo. Something he kept from Orihime because Ginjo wasn't trustworthy and he didn't want her involved.
It's not like he was like "fuck you Orihime, I'll never visit Chad with you."
>>151605292
>tells hollow!sora that if he wants to kill inoue, he better kill him first
>was prepared to go to HM alone
>basically rises up from dead because of her screams

>literally invites her up to his room the day before to hang out and talk
you're grasping at straws anon.
>>151605706
It's clear.
Ichigo thinks Orihime is an adorable weirdo with amazing breasts.
>>151605865
>tfw isshin also stared lovingly at a crying masaki during their movie date
what did kubo mean by this
part 1
>>151602529
People are just oddly desperate to absolve Kubo of the climax of the final arc sucking. So they claim it was suddenly canceled leaving Kubo with no time. Despite the fact it's apparent that Kubo and his editors agreed to end Bleach at it's 15th anniversary a while ago, and Kubo dropped the ball and ran out of time because his pacing sucks.
>>151606630
I heard that based on what authors of past popular WSJ titles have revealed in interviews, if your series is big, you'll be warned at least 6 months ahead that you gotta end it in this time span.
I don't know if this really was true in KT's situation, but I wouldn't be surprised if he miscalculated/was unwilling to improve his pacing despite knowing how many chapters he had left.
But at the end of the day it's all speculation.
>>151607186
Bleach ended at it's 15th anniversary, while getting an announcement of a live action movie. That's not something that'd happen if it'd been suddenly canceled.
Toriko's author clearly got more than a year's warning for Toriko ending, and he sped things up to get to the conclusion. I doubt Bleach would get less warning. It's even possible that when they announced the TYBW would be the final arc at the start of it, they'd already agreed on Bleach's end date.
>>151607555
Well, this arc was suppose to be the longest yet it was one year shorter than the HM one. Maybe he got fucked over with one less year.
>>151607636
>>151607555
the ending just didnt feel like bleach. it felt totally alien to what the manga was telling us for 15 years. feels like it was written by someone else.
>>151607725
The manga felt like it went on a different path a long time ago to me. I don't really get what the message of the manga was in general.
The ending felt like Bleach though-at least to me. I always imagined a happy ending for everyone with Ichigo's son being revealed in the end.
>>151607807
>The manga felt like it went on a different path a long time ago
This. I don't know why people talk as if it all fell apart during the ending when the manga went downhill several years ago.
>>151607952
a decent ending couldve redeemed it. instead we got a shipping mess and 'LOL DEY GOT MARRID AND HAD BABBYS '
Bleach: Next Generation. Kazui and Ichika's adventure begins when?
>>151608012
I don't think a decent ending could have redeemed years of bad writing and lousy pacing.
>>151608012
It was pretty obvious to me that the manga was going to end with pairings.
>>151608017
Never. Even if Jump was willing, I don't believe Kubo's heart is in it anymore.
>>151608017
Like the other anon said, never. It looks like Kubo is done with manga.
hyped.

I swear part of me thinks Kubo did this on purpose and a big middle finger and final FUCK YOU to all his fans.
>>151608617
Kubo probably didn't even remember Chad's promise desu. He was the nakama with the least amount of screentime and we didn't get to see him fight in any of the last two arcs PLUS he jobbed in both the SS and HM arcs.
>>151608703
PLUS he's the only nakama with one volume cover. The fifth one.
>>151608012
This makes no sense. The "ending" was decent and to be expected.
What was complete and utter trash was that entire final arc. The only people who agonize over who ends up fucking who are stupid shippers themselves.
>>151608510
>Kubo is done with manga
What else did he say on his twitter besides the dead boy story? Any more translations of his twitter manga?
>>151608935
Nothing, but the fact that he didn't even want to draw sketches for the novel in the first place is telling. He was happy with the results in the end, but still.
>>151608617
this is depressing
>>151583492
>>151584771
the arc would have been better if the quincies won
prove me wrong
>>151608736
Justice for Chad when?
>>151608891
Not him but when people criticize the "ending", they usually mean everything since the start of Ichigo&Orihime vs Yhwach (or since the ending announcement), since before these people still had some hope of answering the questions, characters getting involved etc.
>>151609508
He's been teaching Hisagi how to play guitar, and Narita likes to build on small details, so maybe...
>>151609346
Wrong. Don't wanna get into it, but you're wrong.
>>151608617
>that he'd never use his strength and fists for personal gain
No, it was he wouldn't use his fists for his own sake, which was him beating up on weaker people for shits and giggles.
Plus, Chad getting into boxing was foreshadowed in a colorspread.
>>151610244
Back when he first met Ichigo, he refused to use them in self-defense.
Someone uploaded a video of Kubo's Jump Ryu interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=517yixDHu1Q
>>151610532
Old news. It's the translation we need.
>>151608617
How is becoming a PROFESSIONAL boxer against his character? If it were an underground boxer for the yakuza, maybe I'd agree with you, but he's having sanctioned fights. It's actually a step up from busting delinquents with Ichigo during their middle school days.
Also Uryu becoming a doctor is the best show don't tell of character development since it shows that he's rectified his relationship with his father after realizing the truth about what he was doing with his mother's corpse.
This anon >>151608891 gets it. Ihe ending is fine for an 'ending' as in no more chapters after this, hell you could take out the Ywach parts and place it after 423 and it'd still fit in fine for those "Bleach should have ended after Aizen" folks.
is anybody buying the Blu Ray sets? I own the complete series on DVD but I think I might buy these to support the series since it is my favorite show and who knows if it gets enough support that sends a message that there is still a market for Bleach and could bring it back.
>>151610726
No, I'm not a fan of the anime-the only thing I really enjoyed were the openings and endings-but this isn't about me.
If its your favorite then you should do it anon.
Anyone has the translation of the Aizen/Azashiro conversation?
>>151612643
>Aizen/Azashiro
Literally who and what?
>>151610726
I'm mango only. No time for the ugly anime.
>>151612694
Azashiro Kenpachi from the Spirits are always with you novel.
>>151610244
It is also stated in his character sheet after the timeskip that he worked at Gonzales Gym
>>151607186
>>151607555
My guess is that he was warned, but for whatever reason he still writes as if he has all the time in the world.
In ch 665, 6 months prior to the last chapter, he wrote this scene which is a building block that hints at the ending (Uryuu becoming a doctor)
>>151614860
It amazing the backstories Kubo comes up with for his characters. To think, all this time Chad was finding his true passion in life and cultivating his skills.
It's also amazing how he never decides to show them. I guess another drawn out Byakuya and Shiro-kun fight was needed.
>>151610244
>>151614860
Plus, Chad working at the gym (and Orihime working at ABCookies) were mentioned in the novel Death Save the Strawberry.
>>151615199
Nice! More of Kubos hidden backstory. Ishida, in a moment of rebellion, gave up his dream of being a doctor.
I like their weird friendship/rivalry. Like that scene early on in Bleach when they awkwardly had lunch together on the roof.
>>151615236
I never found Ichigo's friends to be interesting so that's fine with me.
>>151615236
There are some things in the novels that I wish were put in the manga, rather than yet another drawn out fight.
Like the process of trials in which Hisagi and Kira were initially grilled for sympathizing with the enemy.
The whole thing with Nayura.
>>151615462
Would've been better to introduce Nayura than those two random rookies who never amounted to anything.
>>151615453
I always preferred his friends (even characters like Tatsuki, Keigo, and Mizuiro are more interesting) to the shinigami. I recognize that's not popular and they were never going to be front and center. Ichigo, himself, kind of disappeared in favor of the Gotei 13.
But, the heart wants what it wants.
I love Orihime so much, she's the best girl in the entire world!

The translator for the WDkALY novel also did a post on how Chad being a boxer isn't OOC: http://missstormcaller.tumblr.com/post/151297165117/im-re-reading-the-bleach-digital-official-colour
Bleach was ass in the end. I liked down parts of it but in my opinion it ended 60 percent trash. I felt like I was reading the uninspired works of a fan fiction writer by the end.
>>151608935
Don't you find it suspect that after a long period without twitter, Kubo suddenly reappear on it to post:
1. Mayuri cosplay
2. Dead kid comic
with a span of 3 weeks, and then stopped posting anything afterwards. No replying to fans, no interacting with other people in the industry.
It's like he solely returns to twitter in order to tell people why Bleach ended abruptly, and that he wanted to quit, and he (Mayuri) does what he wants regardless of what others feel.

That's nice, anon. Everyone should love my waifu.

My bro Kubo. Chad's gym has been there from the start. I wonder if there's a map of Karakura Town.

It was in SOULs.
Aside from the legend there, A to J are places they elaborate on further in subsequent pages.

What was this? To prove they weren't moles for Aizen?
>>151616490
At some point, in some form...
But I really doubt it's ever going to be 1:1 adaptation as it's too long to do it for the few loyal fans left and it's absolutely inaccessible for new ones.
>>151616966
It was in a novel. Kira wasn't grilled for being sympathetic he just said he attacked Momo and Rangiku of his own accord not because Gin manipulated him which is the truth.
Hisagi on the other hand was considered sympathetic because he brought up Tosen's dead friend and how Central 46 failed to properly handle her case.
Came across this rumor on twitter that Rukia in the live action will be played by Sugisaki Hana (杉咲花).
http://movies-topic.com/archives/4877
And that supposedly Shirota Yuu and Tamaki Hiroshi have been spotted at shooting location as Renji and Byakuya.
>>151595316
Ulquiorra's entire purpose was Ichihime baiting.
>>151618776
Could be a bunch of bollocks, but one thing that's consistent is that a figure that looks like Renji (tall, red hair) was seen filming.
>>151608535
>>151618801
Here I was always thinking Orihime was supposed to develop Stockholm syndrome, move to Las Nachos and have a dozen bat babies with crying faces. Then she would not have been a college dropout and could have been an astronaut and baker.
>>151618801
Not really. Ichihime may be the endgame but that doesn't mean that Ulq/Ori existed only to prop it. The scene where Ulq reaches for Orihime and she reaches back had nothing to do with her feelings for Ichigo and plenty of the Ulq/Ori talks were about Ori's bond with all her friends rather than purely centering on her feelings for Ichigo.
Ulq/Ori was Kubo just doing the classic "cold-hearted villain meets pure girl, learns the power of love and friendship from her, dies tragically"-story.
>>151619885
With the caveat that the cold-hearted villain couldn't fully understand the power of love and friendship, but had just enough of an inkling to give his end some pathos.
That was the idea, anyway.
>>151619885
>cold-hearted villain meets pure girl, learns the power of love and friendship from her, dies tragically"-story
10 second before he dies, he's bragging about murdering Ichigo in front of Orihime and destroying all her hopes and dreams.
He only comes to his realization after losing big time and seeing the reality of Orihime's infinite kindness.

Still makes me laugh that unlike pretty much all other characters with multiple attributes, all Ulqs in BBS are Heart.
"Yuzu says Orihime acts as a mother so she is very happy when she’s around. Karin agrees when asked and says she’s reminded of her mother, Masaki, and looks at the large poster in the room when they talk more about it fondly."
-Rukia and Renji invited Gotei members to have some sake (like a tea party) where they announced they were getting married like this,
Rukia’s face gets redder and redder from anxiety when Renji, finally, stands up straight nervously with her next to him. She deeply thanks everyone for coming and Renji spills it with a “We- we are getting married!” declaration and there’s shocked silence for a moment until Rangiku, Hanataro, Kiyone, and others congratulate them, people aren’t surprised by them getting together (I think this part is translated? But I’ll put it here because I found it really cute and humorous how it was written.)
-Rukia goes to Byakuya’s place to inform she’s going to do the marriage enrollment, Chiyo appears again (Rukia’s servant & friend from Makoto-sensei’s last novel The Death Save The Strawberry) to help her
-Iba takes care of Komamura’s dog, Goro. I haven’t seen any confirmation on the wolf cubs’ relation to Komamura (I sort of skimmed here a bit sorry)
-Renji and Rukia run into Iba & the doggos on their way and they get friendly here
-Rukia and Renji are packing and looks to be getting a mansion/house to live in together in the first central ward area due to the upcoming establishment of marriage (this is before the ceremony)
-Everyone’s fave forgotten shinigami Ryuunosuke Yuki & others appear here for a short bit to help with moving and duties (he’s confirmed alive at least? they don’t do anything important)
-Ryuusuke & other members give them some device box from Urahara-san that flashes into white smoke, Urahara greets them which Rukia & Renji try to reply to and are surprised by being congratulated for their marriage. It is a recorded voice mail. They also receive a gift from him with the device. (He’s being shady about some technology gift they must keep a secret? Don’t quote me on this part.)
>>151620784
-Renji & Rukia have a meal at Byakuya’s place in silence which makes Renji nervous and they look to get a kimono because Byakuya asked about his dress earlier with Rukia. Later all three go to get their marriage papers officialized and announced as an official couple, the two get emotionally happy over this on finally being married.
The wedding ceremony section:
-It starts with Orihime at a park by the train station where she and Renji&Rukia meet up
-Rukia asks how the shop is prospering since Orihime works as a regular employee at a bakery’s cake store called “ABCookies” ever since after high school graduation three summers ago
-Because Orihime relied on distant relative’s living expenses, but since they would only give assistance until high school graduation, she had to look for work.
-Just from the air that Renji and Rukia seem more intimate than before, Orihime wonders happily with a big smile - “Oh, you two started dating, isn’t it?!” Orihime’s intuition is sharp although dull many times (?)
-Rukia is taken aback by the suddenness that she’s laughing nervously and stumbling for words. “Inoue, Renji and I… We entered today… ah……. ah oh yeah um… entering… We entered to get married.” sort of thing. Orihime is really happy to hear this that she’s begun to cry tearfully with a shining smile
-Wondering if Rukia has told Ichigo yet, Rukia tells her she wanted to tell her female best friend first of the news before heading over to see Ichigo
-Riruka works at Yukio’s enterprise company, works as a designer in the apparel department
-Jackie Tristan too works at the same company but she flies all over the world to developing countries as charity, so they rarely see each other in person
>>151620847
-Orihime calls Riruka and talks about Rukia getting married and the ceremony is approaching in a couple of weeks, she wanted to make a wedding dress for her at first. Riruka yells that it’s not possible for a beginner to do in two weeks in which Orihime thinks over again with the suggestion of a wedding veil instead. They agree and order the materials.
-Ichigo is a university student coming home from afternoon class (doesn’t mention what field/career)
-Tatsuki does karate
-All the human friends are gathered at Kurosaki Clinic including Tatsuki, Keigo, and Mizuiro and the two Kurosaki sisters
-The later four’s careers aren’t mentioned
-They’re all eating cakes Orihime brought from ABCookies and working on the veil progressively together and it takes them hours until completion
-Orihime liked flowers since a long time ago. They are putting texture of strawberry flower petals on the hem of the veil. In the language of flowers, it means happy family which she says would be perfect as a motif on the veil for the loving couple which everyone sewed some petals on then put the gold embroidery through.(Ichika isn’t really mentioned in the novel but it’s a speculation on connecting the dots where her name comes from with this info drop)
-Uryu is a medical student in medical school. He’s mended his relationship with his father but does not answer any more questions about it.
-Chad’s sparring partner is named Daniel (安堂ダニエル) a heavyweight Japanese champion, he leaves after getting the call
-Yuzu says Orihime acts as a mother so she is very happy when she’s around. Karin agrees when asked and says she’s reminded of her mother, Masaki, and looks at the large poster in the room when they talk more about it fondly.
-Orihime wears a pink dress made of fluffy chiffon material at the wedding ceremony (putting this here for the colorists/editors)
-After the ceremony is done with Renji and Rukia being wed, there’s a feast.

Rukia swears an oath to herself that it won’t be too far in the future she will be captain with the haori, she just needs more time
-Four hours after the reception, the humans are now leaving to head home and they give gift bags.
-There is a message from Isshin given to Rukia. Isshin tells he is the uncle to Kaien. At the time of his nephew’s death, he was the tenth captain so it was a shock. Of course, he had heard the circumstances from Ukitake, and thought Rukia needed a helping hand/comfort most, so he visited the 13th barracks many times but when he saw Rukia’s painful profile/look, he could not call out anything.
-Renji tells Rukia to remain and he’ll escort the humans to the senkaimon so that they can head home because he is a part of the 6th squad.
-What follows after are the last few pages with Renji + Ichigo and Ichigo + Orihime which are translated
-Hisagi’s 2017 novel will reveal the mystery of the world, the Fullbringers and Arrancar, the Soul King, and the great aristocrat houses

>ust from the air that Renji and Rukia seem more intimate than before, Orihime wonders happily with a big smile - “Oh, you two started dating, isn’t it?!”
I guess they skipped the dating part and went straight to marriage.
>-Yuzu says Orihime acts as a mother so she is very happy when she’s around. Karin agrees when asked and says she’s reminded of her mother, Masaki, and looks at the large poster in the room when they talk more about it fondly.
The heart.

It's a sex toy isn't it?
>>151621126
>I guess they skipped the dating part and went straight to marriage.
I figured they would. I always thought they had feelings for each other, especially back during their academy days which is why Rukia was so hurt by Renji letting her go.
Did Yuzu have a incestuous feelings for Ichigo or Kazui?
>>151621224
Neither. It's a scene taken out of context.
>>151621205
Still. I can't believe it took both Ichigo and Renji three years after the Yhwach battle to actually get their waifus. Have they never heard of post-war baby booms?
>>151621126
Or their courtship period is very short., during which they haven't had the chance to visit the human world. I don't think they go there very often, once a year tops. But not "chapter 686 is the first time they've been there since the end of the war" like some said.
>>151620933
So THIS is why the haori Rukia is wearing in the epilogue looks too big for her. God damn, this novel has so many cute moments in it.
>>151620988
>-There is a message from Isshin given to Rukia. Isshin tells he is the uncle to Kaien. At the time of his nephew’s death, he was the tenth captain so it was a shock.

Holy shit, Isshin knew who Rukia was the whole time?
>>151620597

I can't wait for the full translation of this moment.
>>151621343
>Holy shit, Isshin knew who Rukia was the whole time?
She really is like his third daughter. Hope this can make IRs a little happy.
Kazui fucks Orihime when?
>>151621299
Reminds me of the good old days where some anons thought Ichigo knocked up Orihime right after the war ended. And by good old days I mean 4 months ago.
Can we get some sexy pics of soi fon in this thread? She never gets any love
>>151621466
>Hope this can make IRs a little happy.
How? It's like she's Ichigos big sister if anything. I'm sure they bitch and moan once they get ahold of all this info.
>>151621413
>Remember all those scenes where whenever Ichigo brought someone home his family would listen outside the door.
>They probably heard Ichigo and Orihime at least once
>>151621224
All of them.
>>151621413
I'm glad Karin has someone she can feel comfortable talking to about the trials and tribulations of having big boobs.
>>151621526
It's sweet. Isshin was looking after her, so when he called her that his words weren't said lightly.
Really glad the twins feel that way towards Orihime. Even though Tatsuki is Ichigo's childhood friend, and Rukia lived with them for a short while-neither of the girls were shown to be close to either of them.
>>151621299
I can believe it with Ichigo. Renji takes more suspension of disbelief, but then they just became friends again not too long ago, perhaps in between the high workload especially Rukia's as an acting captain, they preferred to keep the status quo for a while.
>>151621699
It is sweet, but they're just going to bitch and moan like they've been doing with the entire novel. Even the Byakuya/Rukia scene.
>>151621482
stop
>>151621300
Maybe. But, even the shinigami react to this change in their relationship.
>>151621879
But they aren't surprised by them getting married. Neither is Byakuya from what it seems.
>>151621879
But they weren't surprised either (except Hisagi despite him being the editor-in-chief for the local tabloid meaning he should've been the one to know gossips first). Yumichika's face was like "FINALLY you idiots".
>>151621733
Because Orihime is being shilled.
How cute is it that Ichika's name can both be a tribute to the friend helped her parents mend their relationship and also means "happy family"?
>>151622001
Very cute, and very sweet. I'm sure she loves her aunt Orihime and uncle Ichigo a lot because of this.
>>151621926
>>151621942
>people aren’t surprised by them getting together
I get that. They were all probably waiting for it to happen. I'm just saying that it took a really, really long time. I'm just shocked cause I thought it had already happened or was about to when Renji gave his speech to Ichigo.
>>151621997
Not really. Masaki as a mother was described as very beautiful and kind in the earlier chapters and that also applies to Orihime. Plus they do look alike in appearance, the same body type and long, warm hair color.
>>151621997
Because Orihime is cheerful, friendly and nurturing like their mother. Because Ichigo probably brings Orihime (the girl he is in love with) around his family a lot.
>>151622059
According to the novel, it took three years for SS to be up and running again. Announcing their wedding during those years would've been insensitive.
>Because Orihime relied on distant relative’s living expenses, but since they would only give assistance until high school graduation, she had to look for work.
Is getting a scholarship really hard in Japan? I mean, Orihime has the third highest grade in her school. Or could it be their school is actually shitty on a national level so she's only competitive in their area but only so-so compared to the best students in Tokyo/Japan? I find it hard to believe as Japan even gives scholarships to foreign students.
>>151622214
Uryu didn't even get a scholarship and he was number one in the entire school. His dad is the one paying for his higher education.
>>151622132
That's still shilling. All these similarities weren't brought up until the last minute.
>>151622189
No excuse for shilling.
>>151622214
There's also the matter of being able to support herself financially if she is only working part time. She probably needed to work full time to pay for her apartment and living expenses and college simply was not an option.
She is working at a bakery and she did say one of her dream careers was to become a baker.
>>151622262
His family's loaded so he doesn't need a scholarship.
I'll just assume all these fighting supernatural beings and skipping school may have caused their grades to drop or they missed the deadlines on scholarship application.
>>151622214
To be honest, yes. in Japan it's far more than just "That guy is smart/athletic" They also have to have a prestigious family that's been involved in politics or can in some way increase the schools power.. Ryuuken doesn't care for that kinda thing and Orihime is literally the spawn of a whore and a drunkard with a dead brother. It sucks but that's how it is. It's enough that Orihime was smart enough to go to college in the first place, usually in that country after high school you're expected to go into a field of work.
>>151622303
>All these similarities weren't brought up until the last minute.
Actually they were. They were very apparent in the manga. Some people just decided to not believe it and now act surprised when characters comment on what was an obvious parallel.
>>151622303
>All these similarities weren't brought up until the last minute.
When would that be brought in the manga though? The twins hardly got screentime the final arc except for the one panel and the final chapter + the nakama were at war anyways then it skipped to the 10year ending and that comment would've felt out of place since Orihime was already married into the family.
>>151622303
>All these similarities weren't brought up until the last minute.
They were though. It was so obvious that Masaki was Orihime, Isshin was Ichigo, and Ryuken was Uryu.
>>151622303
>All these similarities weren't brought up until the last minute.
You'd notice them earlier if you weren't busy insisting Masaki was (only) a parallel to Rukia.
>>151622382
I see.
If that's the system, I suppose the foreign scholarships are given primarily for diplomacy purposes, and maybe some "sorry for WWII" kind of thing.
>>151622462
It's not even that they look alike. Lots of characters in Bleach look alike. They had the same personality, the same quirks and the same mannerisms.
>>151622613
>They had the same personality, the same quirks and the same mannerisms.
Exactly. The only one's claiming that they didn't were IR fans and we all know why.
>>151622597
Nope, gajins very rarely get anything unless they are extremely talented, universities really only want gajins as english teachers and even then, they only want white ones. the women, especially love white dudes.
>>151622613
They're similar but Masaki was more capable of being smug and sarcastic.
>>151622613
>>151622697
To be fair, Masaki-Isshin and Rukia-Ichigo shares some similarities as well, but less so their personalities/looks but their situation. It also negates one anti-IR argument at the time that Rukia is too old for Ichigo and they can't be together because she's shinigami and he's human.
The EBTR arc was something I see could be used as basis for predicting either pairing. It's just that hardcore shippers on either side refused to see anything that supports their rival ship.
>>151622877
Oh yea, I totally saw the Ichigo rescuing Rukia in this scene but with the under the arm thing since the words they said were different. After that Ichigo throws Rukia to Renji while Masaki happily thanks Isshin while being fully naked.
>>151622710
Actually Japan (through JICA, partnership with World Bank and other donor organizations) gives scholarships every year to students from developing countries.
>>151622877
Isshin gives up being a shinigami to look after Masaki and falls in love with her. How is that similar to Ichigo and Rukia? Why is this even still a thing?
>>151622984
>>151622710
So basically scholarships for Japanese students are just harder to get in general.
>>151622999
>hardcore shippers on either side refused to see anything that supports their rival ship
Yep, still happens.
>tfw you remember you'll never see bride Orihime
it hurts lads
>>151623076
Kinda like how Americucks are too wrapped up in red vs blue to realize their government is two sides of the same corrupt coin
Don't know how you guys feel, but I'm really enjoying the novel so far. Bleach is at it's best when it's comfy and light.
>>151623076
My bad then. You are correct. I think there's even a Kenpachi/Ichigo scene that parallels this rescue. It's all there. So much parallels.
>>151623345
My only hope for post-ending Bleach material is a databook with SoL omake comics. This novel fulfills maybe 70% of that.
>>151623345
I like the novel a lot. I wish it could be illustrated by Kubo.
>>151623349
>I think there's even a Kenpachi/Ichigo scene that parallels this rescue
There is. The words Ichigo says to Rukia when he rescues her are what he says to Kenpachi when he saves him.
Not exactly the ideal parallel for any shipper I imagine.
>>151623431
I'm not counting on it. Kubo didn't even want to draw the sketches in the first. We'll get sketches in the next novel, and then the one-shot for the live-action but that's it. If there is a databook, I don't see it being made for quite awhile.
>>151622303
>All these similarities weren't brought up until the last minute.
Matsubara was obviously able to tell that Masaki and Orihime were alike during the flackback arc. Why else would they include such a small detail?
>rukia considers orihime her female best friend
>>151620988
>-Hisagi’s 2017 novel will reveal the mystery of the world, the Fullbringers and Arrancar, the Soul King, and the great aristocrat houses
It kinda annoys me how Kubo did such a shoddy job of tying stuff up that he needs not one, but several novels to take care of things. All that shit, including the wedding novel, should have been in the manga proper. Even his novel illustrations look like quick sketches, instead of properly inked. I hope he's done for good with being a mangaka. He clearly doesn't give much fucks anymore and hasn't for quite some time.
>>151622462
>>151622877
I've seen quite a bit of those "muh parallels" collages now and going by how Bleach in general developed, I wonde if people are mistaking Kubo just reusing cool poses and panel compositions for some deeper meaning. Remember those collages showing just how often he reused the "teleports behind you" panel composition? Stands to reason that he'd reuse other stuff as well, without any deeper meaning behind it, regardless of ship.
>>151624124
More like, Rukia's friendship situation is really that bad, her female best friend doesn't hang out with her except on rare visits with the whole family and doesn't even see her as a best friend.
>>151619885
He literally went 'watch me impale the man you love' Anon
>>151624162
He hasn't done properly inked novel illustrations since a long time ago.
>>151624321
I'm telling you. Rukia and Tatsuki had similar qualities and they gave it all to Rukia.
>>151624396
They?
>>151624124
It is. Aafter Ichigo and Renji,Orihime is the only that comes to my mind when I think about Rukia's friends.
>>151624321
I'm sure Orihime also see's Rukia as a bestfriend, you don't measure things like that especially when you grow older anon.
They come from different worlds so it's normal that they don't hang out that much. I'm sure Tatsuki and Orihime don't either since they both work even more now, especially Orihime since she's on her own with the finances.
>>151624418
Kubo, his editors, and whoever else he worked with on Bleach.
What hapened to Kon?
>>151621413

I bet she was lonely by herself after her brother died

>I bet she was lonely by herself after her brother died
Orihime always came off as a bit lonely throughout the manga especially the earlier arcs.
If the twins who have fuzzy memories of their mother see the similarities between her and Orihime then Isshin definitely did too.
>>151624124
>>151624290
This is very true, anon. Facial expressions and paneling mean nothing in Bleach. Most of these parallels are jokes.
Masaki's personality and Orihime's are blatantly similar though. I don't think that's even a "parallel." I don't know what you'd call it, they just share personality traits and act the same way.
>>151624321
Tatsuki is Hime's soulmate. Rukia can be her bestfriend.
>>151624321
>rare visits with the whole family
Orihime visited Rukia during the 17 months in the last novel.
>>151624488
I believe this was his last appearance.
>>151624573
how people could ever think Masaki was similar to Rukia? I remember IRfags calling IHfags idiots and delusional because they say Orihime and Masaki were similar. This is like calling someone delusional because you say the sky is blue and water is wet.
>>151624607
Still rare.
In SS, seems like Rukia's only friend is her husband. The rest are coworkers, acquaintances, and Renji's friends. And her brother.
>>151624488
I've been guessing he's living with Hikifune after the last battle. Hopefully we'll see him in Hisagi's novel if that's the case.
>>151624687
IRfags would rather die than admit IHfags were right. They still cling to the idea that they are the only ones to have read Bleach right all these years, and that Kubo betrayed them in the end.
How did Yhwach get defeated again?
I stopped reading when Uryu fought Sternritter B
>>151624970
Cute!
>>151624986
I remember Renji physically carried him to the last battle, Tsukishima appearing out of nowhere to fix his sword using bullshit powers, Aizen using the Kyouka Suigetsu to make Yhwach think he's Ichigo and Renji, Ryuken giving Uryuu a special arrow made out of the silver clot formed in Kanae's heart after the Auschwahlen and Uryuu shooting it at Yhwach stopping his powers for a second so Ichigo can land a final, critical hit, but I have forgotten the order of those happening.
>>151624884
The funny thing is that I just found out one of the crazier ones (the one behind diaper-kun) weren't even there "all those years" because she was born on 2001.
>>151624970
Ichika's gonna be a spoiled brat. A really cute spoiled brat.
>>151624124
>Riruka's best friend is Orihime,too.
>>151624884
I remember arguing way back during the Mexico arc in some general forum how Orihime was gradually set up as the love interest and Rukia is more of a buddy to Ichigo and "friend with more life experience" to Orihime, but it was like talking to a wall with some individuals. It was then that I realized, that with shippers, it didn't matter whatever kind of evidence or conclusions I'd bring up, regardless of whether I backed it up with chapter/page numbers. A shipper won't examine the facts and then arrive at a conclusion, but rather they set out with the firm belief that their preferred conclusion is indeed true and then they sift through the source material for any "evidence" they can find to make their assumption seem plausible.
>>151624396
I still kinda arseblasted tha tKubo never really did anything with Tatsuki. They had that whole nice "princess and her dragon" thing going in the beginnig, played well off each other and Tatsuki had as strong a motivation as any character to get in on the magic punchathon train. She could have been a great moral support for Orihime and a much needed second character to play off and flesh Orihime out, beyond her attachment to Ichigo and the once in a blue moon talk with Chad. Yet Kubo ignored that avenue time and time again until it was too late.
>>151624884
Kubo literally spent 15 years lying to us. He milked IchiRuki for cash and then told us to go fuck ourselves after he bought himself a nice house and got his retirement fund secured.
>>151625330
A spoiled brat who have gone through 4th grade lessons of the four skills and now deemed fit, by Yoruichi among others, to serve as shinigami apprentice at age 6.
She's gonna be so full of herself.
>>151625857
>He milked IchiRuki for cash
Those two interacted less and less the more the manga went on plus Orihime's love only ever grew stronger while her and Ichigo got closer. The IR bond however stayed the same since the end of SS arc.
>>151584211
Oh wow that's like totally not a make up story or anything to justify the biggest disaster in recent shounen history.
You're a fucking retard for buying this shit up.
>>151625750
>A shipper won't examine the facts and then arrive at a conclusion, but rather they set out with the firm belief that their preferred conclusion is indeed true and then they sift through the source material for any "evidence" they can find to make their assumption seem plausible.
You're 100% right. IRs are by far the most delusional and stubborn though.
>>151625591
>Riruka's best friend is Orihime,too.
>>151625921
Who's to say she's really fit? The principal is her dad's buddy. In Nepotism Society, Ichika is practically royalty.
>>151625269
>the one behind diaper-kun
Literally what?
>>151626020
>Orihime's main friends are lonely girls.
>>151625921
plus Byakuya definitely sees her as a niece.
>>151625980
I can kind of understand that though since Kubo did shill IR like crazy (but also since they were kind of the faces of the manga too). And if you started watching from the beginning you could definitely feel the bond Ichigo and Rukia had.
I dont particularly care for Bleach couples either way though but I get why the shippers hold desperately on to their delusions.
It's too bad Yachiru doesn't exist anymore, I can't imagine how chaotic it would be if she hung around with Ichika
>>151626100
Diaper-kun is Ichigo. Because Orihime and Masaki are similar, Ichigo likes to wear diapers and have sex with Orihime. He calls her "mom." They wrote a fanfic and everything.
>>151626140
I did feel it, but it was pretty much done after the SS arc. Their entire relationship after that consisted of big reunion moments that were followed with Rukia encouraging him with some pep talk and tough love, and thats it.
HM-reunion/hits him and yells at him at first/"man in my heart" pep talk/pretty much it
FB-reunion/gives powers back/hits him and yells at him at first/pep talk about despair/pretty much it
Quincy arc-bond isn't highlighted at all, but they still fight and yell at each other in the last chapter because of their different parenting skills.
It got boring to me.
>>151626220
I heard diaper anon has been all over the net spamming his love of this disgusting fetish everywhere
>>151626163
Kubo rarely gets rid of characters, but when he does they are the ones I enjoy.
>>151626140
I don't know. I didn't really watch the anime. I just read the manga. I always thought he'd end up with Orihime and Rukia his bro. I also thought Yoruichi/Urahara was a thing, though.
>>151626220
The girls were the one to call out the similarity though.

I wonder if Yachiru would have stayed little or grown up some if she survived. Soul aging is really inconsistent.
>>151626377
This is actually really sad once you think about it. They can go on and on about how they don't care about the novel, but they obviously do.
>>151626377
>>151626451
Yachiru survived, she just moved to a different realm. What we don't know if she'll ever manifest outside to communicate with people aside from Zaraki again.
if dubs Kek kills Kubo.
>>151626591
She's not. the 10 year epilogue even showed that Yachiru hasn't appeared since then
>>151626377
So I guess they spent some time googling pictures of grown men wearing diapers, huh.

>Unohana died for absolutely nothing.
It still feels so fucking bad. I don't understand why Kubo thought this would be a good idea.
>>151626771
>they let him.
Basically. They relied on the anime fillers, ops and eds, merch, and the occasional colorspread instead of what was in the actual manga.
>>151626677
Oh no.... have mercy....
>>151627008
The only way to save Kubo is to reach dubs higher than those. Can you do it? Can you be the hero?
>>151624321
Man, this looks like a completely different manga, it is a completely different manga, Kubo's artstyle really changed a lot, but i can't decide which artstyle i like more
Honestly, Ichigo must cum on Orihime 99.9% of the time for them to only have one child in the epilogue.

>>151626377
Sometimes it's better to be ignorant, and this is one of those moments

Now, that's legit shitty.
>>151642383
>But... I'm a tit-man so I won't complain
>>151630969
When you're eaten by a hollow you cease to exist until that hollow is slain by a zanpakuto, then your soul enters the reincarnation cycle. Sora was a rare case where he held onto his will but he was still a run of the mill hollow so he'd still be reincarnated upon death. That's why Masaki and Sora will never meet their loved ones again as themselves. They no longer exist like that.

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.

>>151651678
>She's the fantasy GF for jap boys.
No, she's not. She always came in second to Rukia in the SJ valentines day polls.
>>151651060
I would guess Orihime is a fantasy girl in Japan but not so much in the west. She's the perfect submissive Japanese wife but with bonus massive tits. In the west girls with a bit more of a cheeky/banter personality are more popular, which is probably why people got so carried away thinking ichiruki would happen. Ichiruki is more like an American sitcom pair where as ichihime is the Japanese ideal.
>>151652077
Huh? You're talking out of your ass anon. Ichiruki was also the most popular in Japan.
>>151652173
Oh yeah I know that. Ichihime is the ideal Japanese marriage story it's just Kubo did a a really half ass job of writing it. He didn't bother with ichigos feelings at all.
>>151651859
You don't think girls were voting in those?
Anyway, this discussion is dumb. Orihime is popular worldwide. She also incites a lot of hate worldwide as well.
>>151652402
I always thought Ichigo had feelings for Orihime, but never had time or the emotional maturity to dwell on anything romantic.
He had no interest in dating, but once he did it was going to be her.

>I always thought Ichigo had feelings for Orihime, but never had time or the emotional maturity to dwell on anything romantic.

I thought the same. Also I felt Kubo couldn't make it *too* obvious because he knew IR was the most popular which is why he wanted till the last chapter to confirm everything.
Bump.
I miss Bleach.
>>151652890
No, Studio Parrot were hardcore IchiRuki shippers, the volume sells still decreased, the story is done and there's no outcry for more anime, Not even the bosses want it, Ichigo has been phased out on JUMP merch, it's just Rukia now.

>>151656942
>Milked the IRfags all the way
I wouldn't say all the way since their interactions were less and less the more the manga went on. Once in the FB arc during the reunion, and for the four years this final arc went out, they interacted twice.
>>151656942
Nah. He pretty much said what their relationship was and described it as being rare and not romantic. He likes their bond just the way it is.
Would it be smart of shutdown and isolate a huge, rabid fanbase during the series run? No, so he didn't. But, he didn't even go out of his way to fanservice. IR hadn't really interacted since she gave him powers back. Kubo didn't mislead anyone, most of them were misleading themselves.

damn those cloak type garments are fire
>>151658327
Got a good chuckle out of me. I can't imagine those two wearing that in the actual manga, not even in a colorspread.

>Rukia’s face gets redder and redder from anxiety when Renji
it's like that edit where all she thinks about is monkey dick
>>151657161
heres another parallel for ya
>>151658327
I actually like Ichigo's totebag. The hollow mask, and shinigami badge are nice touch. It looks like a normal tote.
>>151658911
That's a different one. It has a different meaning:
Facebook and Ginjo were the ones that stole Ichigo's powers, and Rukia gave it back to him, mirroring the start of the manga were Rukia gives Ichigo her powers.
Then in this shot, it's Facebook (& Ginjo tagging along), Ichigo's previous enemies, the ones who give him back his powers, "making it even" with him
how cute

Hi alice

I need more final chapter Karin.

>Rukia can know about the truth re:Isshin but not Rangiku or Toshiro
Fucking bullshit. And before anyone suggests they'd tattle on him.
Hitsugaya and Rangiku were the ones that made the effort to investigate the C46 after all the shady shit during SS arc
In DStS Rukia makes it a point to not let the captains know about the plans for Ichigo since it's treason. Most Captains like Byakuya and Unohana basically find out because they notice their VCs acting suspicious, except Rangiku who just sends the email to Toshiro and Kyoraku anyway cause she knows they'd help regardless of the rules.

Clearly not as a glimpse at a wiki would have answered your stupid question.

More Ichihime family fan arts please
Ichika in a kimono for good luck

Happy Birthday Yoruichi-sama!

Seems like even if they say the novel's MC is Hisagi, in reality it will switch focus between many characters, most of them really minor ones, like in those summaries.
The impression I get is that Narita really has an eye for detail and a boner for minor characters. That's why he earned Kubo's praise for catching that Zaraki gets stronger after every fight, and why he writes about Don Kanonji, Oomaeda Mareyo & Marenoshin, Shirogane Ginjirou and all those other background characters casual fans may have never registered.

>MC is Hisagi, in reality it will switch focus between many characters
So basically like this one? The plot was the Renruki wedding, but it jumped between quite a few characters before we got to the actual wedding.
>>151667930
Yes, but in a more complex manner & storyline. Matsubara's novels are around 200 pages. Spirits I is 288 pages and Spirits II a whopping 496 pages. I wonder how long the Hisagi novel will be.
are they ok?
Someone buy this and scan this. It's Neko's newest work.
Translation of Reports 2, part 2 (aka 4th segment of WDKALY) is out

Do it for all the IHfags who had to overcome adversity! Do it for Kazui!

>“You’re only here to eavesdrop, pervert.” Lisa coldly stated.
Well, that's just hypocritical. Momo for worst girl in this chapter.
>>151670811
>Momo is the next Retsu
Aizen-sama, what have you done?
>>151669008
I wish we got something about them already
At least in the Hisagi novel, come on
Nel should have gone to Ichigo's wedding I guess
>>151671883
The arrancars have already been confirmed to be in the second novel so I'm sure Nel and her pals along with Grimmjow with be mentioned. Probably Harribel and her gang too since Narita has an eye for detail like the other anon stated.
>>151674445
I want to be Kubo'ed again and scream KUBO DAME! like a filthy whore;_;
Happy new year, faggots. I love you all

The ship lives. I am pleased with this status quo.

>NTR
Is this Aizen and Momo's revenge on Aizen?
That pepperrikka spoiler person got the latest NEKO ichihime work.
I'm jealous.
>>151675729
You seem troubled, anon.
Should I start a new thread, fellow Bleachfags?
>>151670811
>Hinamori will never threaten you
I want to die so she can threaten me.
>>151677366
>Momo goes full Unohana
>Eventual fight in the Muken
>Momo vs Aizen
>Aizen using Kyoka Suigetsu repeteadly until Momo is more powerful than him
IT KEEPS HAPPENING
>>151677948
Momo can already beat Aizen in PvP. She's scary.
>>151677164
Start one with scary Momo as OP.
>>151678091
Fullbring Renji is, ironically, probably better than Aizenhows the New Year grinding going?
>>151678253
Someone said he's slow? But I don't know if they tested on his 5* or 6*.I had shitty luck. 1000 orbs with nothing on NY. Stopping now to save for GLB FB gacha.
>>151678253
The only characters of worth I got were New Years Byakuya and Tag Team Hisagi. I hope I get Tag Team Matsumoto soon.I also found out after spending Rare Medals for a Hogyoku that you can't evolve Raid Characters so I screwed myself out of buying Giriko and wasted a ton of materials on Raid Shinji.
>>151678478
I'm saving for the Kendopachi gacha this month and then fullbringers, so I just did the free step up gacha.
I was thinking KENPACHI KENPACHI KENPACHI and...got a Final Ichigo dupe (yay 3/5 special) and...Unohana
I feel Kubo'd
The IchiRuki tears and butthurt helped me get through this year. Good to see they're still sobby and butthurt in this thread.
>>151635094
Nah, the Ichirukis are just reaping the shit they sowed for years. Karma's a bitch, eh?
>>151651060
Are you kidding, fangirls tend to HATE Orihime because she reminds them of the pretty girl who "stole" the guy they stalked through the whole school but never asked out.
They also projected their "cool loser" bullshit on Rukia and used her to bash Orihime to feel good about themselves. That explains why so many whiny teenage girls and idiotic womanchildren are complaining about the end: the "cool loser" Rukia Sue they "love" didn't get Ichigo as her prize penis, Orihime "the bitch" stole it from her.
So nope, I'm afraid you got it backwards. Rukia was the girl that the fangirls saw as "female power fantasy", Orihime was the "pretty cheerleader and number 1 enemy", so the entitled loveshy girls loved Rukia and hated Orihime.
