Should the Thousand-Year Blood War arc be animated?
If so, what scene would you look forward to being animated?

I would prefer an entire remake since the animation in the first two arcs are really bad, but that would never happen.

If it does come back then I their bias towards IR isn't so blatant this time around. Also change Rangiku's hair to her canon color along with giving Orihime brown eyes instead of grey.

>>152299733
The novel has feel good moments, but also some stupid things. Among the stupid things is having characters act in a manner more suitable for a 3 month timeskip.

For example, it's been 3 years and Renji still needs someone to explain to him what the hell happened to Kira. Aren't they friends as well as fellow vice captains? It's one thing for Kira not to see Hanatarou for 3 years, but Renji and Kira presumably often wait around in the same room as their captains assemble, that conversation should've happened way before.

Similar thing happens here with Ichigo and Uryuu. It's been 3 fucking YEARS and they're not even busy shinigami officers but human college students. Why is he still wondering how Uryuu could afford med school? Not to mention the unnatural dialogue with Tatsuki that's meant to tell readers that she's teaching karate. Should've done that in narrative.

There are only 3 things in the Blood War Arc worth animating.

1) Rukia's Bankai
2) Yoruichi's Raiju Form
3) Aizen Winning

That was Kazui.

>>152303830
No, it was Ichigo, through means that were inadequately explained.

Kazui literally stopped Yhwach from destroying their peaceful era.

What beat Yhwach:
1) Ryuuken's asspull arrow
2) Ichigo finishing

Everyone else are just stalling.

Can I ask about the count? Are you treating TBTP as it's own arc?
>>
>>152303978
Do you think it'll be a plot point in the last novel?
>>
>>152303830

Consider the following.

>Kazui never would have been in a position to erase Yhwach had Ichigo not struck him down first
>Ichigo never would have been in a position to strike him down had Aizen not weakened and distracted him
>Furthermore, Kazui had to have been born from Ichigo, whose birth was the result of one of Aizen's experiments going awry

No matter what way you slice it, it all comes back to Aizen. Aizen is the true hero.
>>
>>152304044
Heros of the Great War:
Aizen - responsible for Isshin-Masaki-White who beget Ichigo who begets Kazui
Urahara - responsible for Ichigo & Mayuri who remakes Kira who inspires Central 46 reforms
>>
>>152300968
Because it hurt us. We stayed with it, shuffling our children into their bedrooms when it came in from a night of drinking, and we let it beat us. That's why.

Things like Yammy being #0 and Ywach being Zangetsu were truly weird to see responses to when the chapters came out. I'm still not sure what the fuck is going on with Kazui.

I'm a nostalgiafag for everything I cared enough to follow for at least three years, whether I'm happy with the way it ends or not. I check out the RK live action movies and the sequel Ashitaro as soon as it came out. I'm all over the Saint Seiya CG movie. I checked to see every time there's a new Gundam though not necessary finishing all. I'm in the new Geass threads. If X and Nana ever restarts I'll be there too despite all my past complaints. And I will always wait for Glass Mask to conclude.

One of his elites is a hand and the other may be a heart. For all we know Gremmy might be the Soul King's brain. He also can't decide what power they get with the Schrift. Gremmy got imagination power because he is a brain. That is assuming that he didn't always had his power.

The Quincy are not extinct. The majority of the Soldat survived the war. It's only the Sternritter that might all be dead. But even with them, a few might be alive. They are also not in the wrong, especially with all the things that concerns the Soul King and the truth that Hisagi will discover. It was a point that both sides of the war are equally right/wrong. And only a few of them are morally reprehensible.

A 15 year old male not becoming interested in the opposite sex (that is considered beautiful in-universe and has no trouble giving birth) that sleeps extremely close to him makes no bloody fucking sense in any world except Ah! My goddess!

Even if the opposite sex would shut him down and love another man, making the interest short. If anything, it would've made their relationship as bros more interesting. And we could've seen Renji teasing Ichigo about it later, and Rukia consoling Orihime about her needless fears. Or something like that.

Ironically, as much as I hate Renji, he's perhaps the most human of them all, considering that he turned his Zan into a busty she-monkey, violently lashed out at his love out of jealousy, and many other humane traits.

I want to know what was Kubo's original script for the Hell Verse movie.
>>
I dont know about anyone else, but the last arc felt very rushed.

The start of it was okay, but towards the end it was quite obvious that Kubo was trying to tidy up as many loose ends as possible.

The goggles sternritter was being setup to fight Renji, but instead he got backstabbed by another sternritter and basically did jack shit.

Colonel sanders was also given a meaningless death, and the surviving stern ritters jobbed to yahweh. Burna finger guy turned out to be quincy-reiji : looks like a "bad guy" at first glance but was really a good guy all along. Both him and Jurgen were given rushed backstories in a flashback and killed off quickly.

Royal guards were a joke. We didnt evne get to see their shikais, let alone bankais because Kubo ran out of time.

Most of the captains did nothing useful or were quickly sidelined. Captain AIDs had a largely pointless scene before dying, Captain mom died in a really stupid "hurr lets fight kenpachi to the death" scene. Komamura chose pretty much the most stupid way to power up imaginable. Vaizards jobbed, again.

Ichigo's dad basically did nothing, and despite the huge amount of potential for Uryuu's dad showing up to confront Yahweh (hes literally the only other quincy left who hasnt joined Yahweh), he basically did jack shit except deliver a plot device arrow to his son.

Grimmjow's return was literally pointless. He tries to fight a sternritter then gets put to sleep almost instantly.

And the last couple of sternritter fights were simply wrapped up by having Yahweh kill everyone before being stopped by some lame plot device.

We saw many Soldat after the fights in the Seretei were over, o none of them were killed. And none of the Quincy civilians living in the Wandenreich participated in the war. They are also alive.

Citation. You're claiming things that were never shown in the manga.
>>
>>152316865
Okay now I see that you just copy and paste these things without even thinking and that you can't read the manga.

Again just for you.

We saw that many Soldat were alive once the Shinigami stopped fighting in the Seretei and prepared to invade Wahrwelt. We saw many civilians in the Wandenreich, who were not fighting like the woman from Haschwalth's room. They were also alive. Several of the Sternritter like Giselle and Liltotto had wounds that are surviveable and a few like Askin, Lille and BG9 were last shown to be alive.

it has been stated several times that both sides are equally right/wrong. And Yhwach lasts words revealed that the Wandenreich did fight for a just cause.

And again, why don't you actually list the Sternritter that are actually evil instead of just copy and pasting the same words.

This isn't citation. Either provide the source from the manga that proves your claims, or stop posting.

Seriously. I provided you the context for the scenes. Are you really that retarded that you can't read the chapters by yourself?

For the last fucking time. We saw many Soldat alive while the Shinigami were preparing to invade the Seretei. We saw that the Wandenreich had civillians during the chapters focusing on them between the invasions. The woman from Haschwalth's room never died and was also never on the battlefield. We never saw BG9 and Lille dying. Both were last seen alive. Nel stated that Askin was alive, when she jumped into the Giftball. Liltotto and Bazz-B had both wounds that are survivable when they lost against Yhwach and Haschwalth and Orihime and Giselle were just five meters away from them. Bambietta and Giselle are zombies they can't exactly die either.

What else do you fucking want? You just copy and past citation and that you need a source. I provived you the fucking context of the scenes, so that you can read it up yourself. Or are you that illiterate that you can't read the manga?

Read the chapter where Giselle was stabbed in the heart. Read the Auswahlen chapters. Read the chapter where Giselle and Liltotto lost. Read the chapter of Nel jumping into the Giftball. Read the chapter of Lille confronting Kira.

If you can't even do that than it is your own fault.

Okay. You are either really retarded or just an annoying troll. I gave you the actual chapters, so that you can read them. That is a source.

You just have to go to any mangasite and click the corresponding chapters. If you actually read Bleach you should know when which of the events happened.

But since you so far did not do that and instead just parroted the same words without knowing what they mean, I really wonder if you have the intellectual capability to perform such a simple task.

Nothing in the manga shows any of the Quincy besides Ichigo and Uryu are still alive. You're literally claiming headcanon as fact.

>>152319180
We saw the Soldat alive in the Seretei even after the Shinigami stopped fighting them. What the fuck should have killed them? It is your headcanon that they are all dead. First provide a source that they actually have been killed.

And apparently you didn't read the word "might". Because then you would understand that I didn't say that the Sternritter are alive, but that several of them have a chance to be alive. And nothing so far states that they are all dead.

Halfway through the war? You really are retarded. That was the endpahse of the war and all the Shinigami were stated to have stopped fighting. By the time Ichigo killed the Soul King no one was fighting anymore in the Seretei. So again who the fuck should have killed them?

>>152320582
They didn't get selected. Yhwach stated that it was only for the Sternritter, that still had power. Otherwise we would have seen an image of the Soldat being selected or that Ryuken was also targetted. And no the burden of proof is not with me. You are accusing the Quincy of being all dead. So you have to actually proof that they were killed. And neither is that the null hypothesis. Null hypothesis is when there is no effect, while H1 is the hypothesis were there is actually an effect. So null hypothesis is that none of them were selected and now you have to prove that any of them were selected.

>The Quincy are not extinct.
[citation needed]

Either prove the Quincy are not extinct, or stop posting. You literally cannot.
>>
>>152320873
That was the original claim:
>>152307899
So no, burden of proof does not lie with me. You have to show proof that the Quincy are actually extinct. And them not showing up in the epilogue is not proof. Otherwise they Arrancar would also be all extinct. And as a matter of fact I already showed that nothing so far detrimental to the survival of the Soldat. But that doesn't matter. You have to proof that they are all extinct.
>>
>>152320732
Never.
>>
>>152321055
>You have to proof that they are all extinct.

But that was never my claim. If you made the claim "The Quincy are not extinct" then you need to back that with a source. At most, you can claim, "the Quincy might not be extinct", but unfortunately you didn't. Your claim is inherently false.
>>
>>152321166
>But that was never my claim.
>Are the quincies the most fucked faction? As of the ending, not only are they exterminated,

You're a liar. This was the original claim, for which you need the burden of proof, which obviosuly does not lie with me.

So you are just randomly jumping into a discussion that had did not involve you? Yeah sure.

And even if that's true, if you are answering for someone else, than you have to provide the burden of proof the other person failed to deliver. That the Quincy are exitinct is the original claim and burden of proof lies with that. Something that you have failed so far to deliver.

So until you make any other claims, why don't you provide any proof. And nothing I stated is incorrect so far. but as I stated, deliver some proof first.

>>152323761
Unless there is proof that the Quincy were extermintated, the statement was not incorrect. And since the first claim was that the Quincy are exterminated, the burden of proof lies with that claim. So first there has to be proof that the Quincy were exterminated. Only if that is actually given, is the statement that the Quincy are not exterminated incorrect.
>>
>>152324260
If you cannot back your claim then its invalid, regardless of who made the original claim.
>>
>>152321932
Would still sit on it.
>>
>>152324513
No. That goes against the definition of burden of proof. "When two parties are in a discussion and one makes a claim that the other disputes, the one who makes the claim typically has a burden of proof to justify or substantiate that claim".

The first claim was that Quincy are exterminated, so burden of proof lies with that. Until there is any proof for that claim, I don't have to proof anything so far. I only have to show that there is now proof that the Quincy were exterminated, which I did.

So again, where is any proof for that claim? Unless you have any proof anything you claim in invalid and incorrect.
>>
>>152325269
The first claim was also without source or citation, but so was your own statement, therefore neither statement is valid. You've gone past burden of proof as a viable argument and are now using the "burden of proof fallacy" to claim that only one point of view requires citation to be correct.

>he turned his Zan into a busty she-monkey
To this day I still deny that this happens in canon and Renji's zan spirit is still a nue.
>>
>>152325496
You are just digging yourself deeper, you know? It did not go past the point of burden of proof. it is still a valid argument, until the first claim has any proof. Until you provide any proof for that, I've to only proof that there is no proof that indicates that the Quincy are exterminated. I've provided plenty of evidence for that, which you still ignore.

The current situation is very simple. it was first claimed that the Quincy are exterminated, without showing proof. Then I provided evidence that proved that there is nothing that points towards the Quincy being exterminated. If there is nothing that indicates that the Quincy are exterminated, then there is no reason to assume that they are. I provided that and showed evidence for that and until you show any proof to back up the first claim, that is all I need.

The Arrancar by your logic would also be exterminated, since there is no proof that they are alive, when you first need some proof that they are all wiped out.

So either provide any proof or be quiet.
>>
>>152325735
It is. The spiritl was shown in the Mask de masculine fight in an omake and was still a nue there.
>>
>>152325735
Both forms are canon
>>
>>152326096
You haven't provided a singlr citable piece of evidence to prove your claim that "The Quincy are not extinct", only speculation that indicates they may not be extinct; they are not the same thing. I don't need to prove anything other than the fact that your claim is not validated by any source in the manga. The fact that your claim waas originally made in responce to an equally invalid claim no longer matters in this discussion.
>>
>>152326353
No, you can't get out of this. This is not how it works. You can't just magically give the burden of proof to someone else. It still matters that the first claim is invalid. It is actually quite pathetic how hard you try to defend an invalid claim without any proof. So either stop being a bitch and finally admit that you just claimed something without any proof or be quiet.

There is no reason to assume that the Quincy are extinct. So why would that claim exist? Until you provide any proof any further discussion is meaningless.
>>
>>152326762
Again, the original claim is irrelevant to this discussion; you've already demonstrated a criminal misunderstanding of "burden of proof" so I suggest you stop hiding behind that argument. The only correct statement in this scenario is "The Quincy may or may not be extinct, excluding the Isshin and Kurosaki families". There is nothing explicitly stated in the manga that states otherwise.
>>
>>152326902
And that is where you are wrong. You can't just state that the original claim is irrelevant for the discussion. It is you who doesn't seem to understand how burden of proof works.

And that is not the only correct statement. Unless there is anything that indicates that the Quincy are exterminated then it means that there is no reason to assume it in the first place. Again by your logic the Arrancar would also all be dead.

You can't even claim that the Quincy may be dead, unless you show any indication for why you think that may be the case. And if them not appearing in the epilogue is "proof" for you, then it also mean that the Arrancar also may be all dead.

I would really look forward to seeing Ichigo's dual wielding being completely meaningless. Yamamoto being completely blown the fuck out was cool. Also seeing, despite the hype, the royal guard being completely useless, just so the main cast can once again get 5 more minutes to shine with new, shiny power-ups. And way more time dedicated to henchmen duels than the main antagonist, and his actual fight just consisting of black shapes that you don't know what they are and don't understand doing stretchy stuff. So exciting! And having the main antagonist's motivations explained almost right before it ends, a stroke of genius. The main antagonist being defeated by a deus ex machina introduced just a few episodes before. So many great moments!

For Bleach manga to conclude in August 2016 with no anime running is a bit strange. Side materials like games, movies, musicals tend to need a main work to generate a main consumer base.

Bleach had a lot of video games circa 2005-2009, then it tapers off to only a few released in the following years. Now there are 2(?), including the pretty well-received Brave Souls and a new partnership to release games in China (titles chosen are Bleach and OPM).

Musical had a successful run from 2005-2010, then the attempt at reprise in 2011-2012 failed as people don't like the original storyline and preferred the original cast. It went vacuum for a few years and then on 2016 they announced a revival, same old storyline with a whole new cast, who is more well-received than the 2011-2012 roster. This would've led to cashing in with the new cast for more shows in the next few years, but with no manga or anime I wonder if they can coast by with 2.5D fanbase alone.

Same goes for the live action. It would've been better to release it in say 2014 while the main work was still running. Who will still care about Bleach in 2018?
>>
>>152331165

Well no shit they do, but who will they promote it to? Death Note and Kenshin are two successful manga-based LAs that ride on a fanbase that still exist. Death Note in particular panders to the L fanbase that wants to see him win, plus the "handsome men" fanbase. Kenshin have global nostalgiafags, plus the fanbase of costumed martial art movies who may not care about anime/manga to come and see it.

I guess we will see this year, what kind of movie they're making and who they want to see it. I saw rumors that Tamaki Hiroshi and Shirota Yuu play Byakuya and Renji respectively though, so those actors' popularities are banked on at least.

She officially changes her last name but still goes with her former name for professional purpose.

For the first 7 years it's even practical, having 2 Abarai-fukutaichous would be confusing. But now there's 2 Kuchiki-taichous so maybe she should just tell everyone to call her Rukia.

It is not void. You can't just claim something without any evidence. Unless there is any evidence, then there no reason to assume that both races are extinct. And that you now also assume that the Arrancar are also extinct shows how faulty your argument is.

That pic reminds me how it's a bummer that the epilogue doesn't say anything about what Ichigo does nowadays aside from scowling and having an overpowered kid who wanders around town alone at age 4-5.
>>
>>152334046
He only scowled when Rukia was joking around though.

Also, its the norm over in Japan for kids to wander the streets at a very young age. They even go on trains alone.

Articles and a short documentary online. The seventh grader was taking public transportation by herself on the way to school.

Also a popular Japanese tv show thats centered around children as young as two or three running a quick errand for their parents.
>>
>>152334624
7th grader is already a teenager, whereas online articles typically mention elementary school kids of age 7-9.

Kazui is 5 at most. Unless Ichigo knocks up Orihime before graduation. And the difference between a 5 year old and a 7 year old is much more significant than that of a 15 & 17 year old.
>>
>>152332537
He's a pretty boring character that never actually effects the plot whenever he popped up so it makes sense. By Kubo's admittance he's a fanservice character. Which was all the worse during that last arc since it was clear he was only around because fans liked him and not because Kubo had any plans in mind for something he could do that would interest him.
>>
On the topic of kids, how much of a genius is Ichika? She's literally (not just physically) 6 years old and already finished the first 4-years of the academy curriculum.

Kaien, a genius, finished the 6-year course in 2 years, and Gin, another genius, finished it in 1.

>>152334842
The little girl in the short documentary was seven. My mistake.

I read an article by an American woman who lives in Japan, and started a family with her Japanese husband. She stated that her three year old will be taking the bus to kindergarten by himself.

She also stated that Japanese children start taking public transport or walking by themselves to school at the age of fix or six.

Probably not genius since she'd be finsihed if she was. But she's the daughter of two high ranking officers with bankai, and probably gets special treatment for being part of the Kuchiki clan.

She's a gotei apprentice though so she's not actually all the way finished with her studies.

So... can we all agree that we should just stop at Aizen arc (anime)? Or should i give the fullbringer arc another try? I don't mind it in the manga, but it feels too filler-y most of the times.
>>
>>152336235
Fullbring arc wasn't so bad IMO. If you want a "happier" ending you can continue there, the animation is pretty good too in those episodes. Though tbqh in terms of narrative, the Aizen arc pretty much already finished the story.

Ichigo never grew out of his "must have fair fights" code, or did he? Even when fighting Yhwach he still stupidly made a point about it being 2 (with Orihime) vs 1.
>>
>>152336422
I think he did grow out it since he told Orihime he was counting on her in the end + Aizen and Uryu did their part in the final fight. That was three against one.
>>
>>152336378
I want it back for the sole reason of wanting the Brave Souls game to cover the last arc.

But if they can make it work without an anime (meaning they'd commission new stills, cast VAs for new characters and come up with more original movesets based only on the manga, and still make a profit) it's fine too.

I wonder if it comes up in a conversation between Isshin and Orihime. If I were to write the novel, I'd include it somewhere in the dinner scene.

That's such a sad topic to bring up though.

I just like how Orihime lost her only family at the Kurosaki clinic and then rebuilt it with the boy that lived her. It's like something good came out of a place that held bad/tragic memories. I'm not saying that I like that Sora in general btw.

What does Bleach mean in terms of the series?
>>
>>152341306
>The title wasn't Bleach when Tite Kubo decided to draw a story about Shinigami. This was before he drew the one-shot manga that appeared in Akamaru Jump. The weapon wasn't a sword, but a scythe. Only Rukia had a scythe and the other characters used guns. At that point, the title was Snipe (as in "Sniper"). Right before he started drawing, he began to think that a sword would be better and realized he couldn't use Snipe as a title anymore. He began looking for a title that grasped the bigger picture. Shinigami are associated with the color black, but it would have been boring to use "black". "White", on the other hand, can suggest black as a complementary color. So Tite Kubo chose "Bleach" to evoke the impression of the color white.

Basically, the real reason is because Kubo thinks it sounds cool.
>>
>>152339043
>>152340470
I have always preferred Rukia with Renji and Orihime with Ishida but until now I've never considered how that outcome might have led into an awesome universe in which the cast constantly bullies Ichigo regarding his love life.

Just got round to reading the Spirits Are Forever With You summaries and the prologue

>The story starts with the 1st page of an article written by Hisagi Shuuhei for Seireitei Communications. His readers asked him to write about Don Kanonji. Why? Because there was a certain “incident” in the 17 months between Kurosaki Ichigo losing and regaining his powers. Hisagi wrote an article to shed light on this incident —
>However, the rest of the article is missing. Central 46 replaced it with a censored version and the original one was burned.

kind of already suggests why Hisagi was picked as the MC of Narita's next novel.
>>
>>152357659
Hisagi came up in the 13 BLADES short story as well.

It seems like Narita had been planning this storyline for a while now, its likely he's been playing close attention to the final arc in order to wrap up a lot of Kubo's loose ends.
>>

And his connection to Tousen. Who was one of the trio.
Who knows what kind of articles was Aizen pushing through him in the Seireitei Bulletin.

Kubo drew the same shape on harribels face, and repeats it on renjis tsuba
To kubo, that's more a tribal shape.
Another thing to remember, kain was water, isshin was fire, ichigo was darkness, relatives don't have a strict relation to their zans elements.
It's far more likely her zan will be serated or jagged like her fathers, if her tsuba is also tribal.

What did Ichigo exactly do during the final arc?

There isn't a single instance where Ichigo actually played a role in the final arc.

Ichigo had no goals or real motivation to fight Yhwach other than he attacked these people I barely have a connection to with the exception of a few people. Ichigo talks so little in the 88 chapters he appears in that we don't know his thoughts, feelings, fears, and desires other than I have to fight Yhwach and Yhwach will monologue for everything else

Ichigo wasn't even needed to kill Yhwach since anyone else could've swung a sword after the deus ex arrow even after spending so much time establishing Ichigo has powered up he was still beaten by Askim off screen

What did Ichigo actually do?
>>
>>152362170
Try reading it again, you clearly missed some things.
>>
>>152362477
Right, I have to mention how Ichigo devolved from a guy who shows his resolve and even against foes who are significantly stronger than himself to a person who pisses himself at the sight of Yhwach that had to have Renji shout at him to make him fight

Ichigo wants to protect people, him losing his zan, the truth of his birth and the whole thing at the end with him going into despair and rising again is to show that he's still a human with emotions.

Kubo does it again.
>>
>>152299196

I don't want the anime coming back if the last five chapters aren't retconned into at least thirty chapters worth of stuff. The rushed ending could have been even shittier, but I don't want to let down people who didn't read the arc.

My minimum requests would be- something substantial depicting the real origins of the soul king, a fight with Haschwalth at least as long as the other elite SR fights, a clarified history of the Vandenreich, a little more drama and mystery surrounding Uryuu's loyalty and his given powers, and finally, a means of defeating Yhwach which makes more sense than "well, he didn't really check what Ryuken was concocting".

I believe if someone actually makes the anime, they'd be pretty eager to do this. Just out of the willingness to make a better product.

Tite is great artist, but poor writer.
Thus he should find someone better in this area for some future collaboration.
>>
>>152363264
Kubo's art and writing go hand in hand, though; he's the kind of person who will draw a character first, and then build a story around them (ie. Rukia and Bleach). Anyone writing for Kubo would really need to be in sync with Kubo's artistic process; the whole of Bleach's early success was because of his amazing character and Bankai designs, which he created along with each Captain.
>>
>>152362170
Okay, lets start simply post royal guard
He saved kenpachis life, which in turn allowed kenpachi to eventually hold off gerard (and as we know, buying time against gerard was essential)
Then, he's the reason grimmjow, neliel, and the fullbringers were there. Without that, askin wouldn't be dead, or if he was, yoruichi, her bro, and urahara would have died. Ishida also would not have been delivered up to the floating platforms which is where he got the special arrow.
Then ichigo fought ywach and pushed him to take his quincy hollow powers away, which meant that when tsukishima restored his bankai, his shinigami powers allowed for that break apart attack.
Lastly, aizens assault wouldn't have worked if it was anyone other than ichigo, cause they would have seen the illusion instead of aizen.
Oh, and there's also the fact that ishida would likely not trust anyone else to make the killing blow other than ichigo

Fair point, one of the few moments when he was actually shining this arc.
> he's the reason grimmjow, neliel, and the fullbringers were there
It is true, but all of these are results of his past actions, and I guess the complaint was about what Ichigo himself did in the last arc.
>pushed him to take his quincy hollow powers away
He was gonna take them regardless of Ichigo's performance. That reminds me, we still don't know why he needed them after absorbing the SK.
>which meant that when tsukishima restored his bankai, his shinigami powers allowed for that break apart attack
Could you elaborate?
>aizens assault wouldn't have worked if it was anyone other than ichigo
Royal Guards, Quincy and possibly Ginjo should be able to pull a slash like this off and they (likely) didn't see KS.
>ishida would likely not trust anyone else to make the killing blow other than ichigo
Back in HM, Ishida entrusted his life to Mayuri (who murdered his grandfather and people) and Renji (who he only knew through one short fight). I don't think he would have a problem.

Reaching One Piece level is a one in a trillion occurrence. Kubo could make something that looks really stylish and could even write a good plot if he took the time to learn from his mistakes (which he probably wouldn't), but no mangaka will come close to Oda's level for a long time.

Yhwach doesn't actually absorb Sternritter. He only takes the soul pieces back. And Giselle is probably the last person one should write of as dead. She is like a cockroach.

>>152369804
Kubo would pobably have learnt from his mistakes. Thinks like too many characters should be something he would have learned from. Honestly the final arc was, when it came to his usual mistakes, quite the improvement. Many other things are because of how he things Shonen manga should be. If he would write a Seinen, he would probably approach things differently.

According to who? Everyone keep saying how Orihime was beautiful though. To Ichigo, Rukia had the body of his little sister. He never quite perceived her as attractive.

Ichigo was clearly into women with developed curves. Rukia used his nine years old sister's pajamas. If anyone would find the other attractive, it would have been Rukia because Ichigo is orange haired Kaien in appearance.
>>

Renji was always better than Ichigo. Ichigo became a pussy when he lost his powers and needed to be babysat. Rukia was his babysitter and mommy more than a companion and equal. That's why I was against the pairing.

Renji was shat on by the plot but he never acted as a pussy when his sword broke in two times. He also lived a childhood far rougher than Ichigo and wasn't traumatized over petty bullshit. Rukia wanted to marry a man, not a little boy.

Renji definitely finds her attractive, Byakuya probably too since she basically looks like Hisana, Keigo and the boys at school thought she was attractive, Orihime called her beautiful. Those are the only examples I could think of.

The characters whos beauty was brought up the most are Rangiku and Orihime though especially Orihime.

A lot of anons seem to take it for granted that Kazui's going to be a boob guy like his dad when he grows up, but I don't think he's going to enjoy them in a sexual way. I think he's just going to like big breasts because they're soft and comfy.

Why did Ichigo choose that kind of haircut? Because he would look like his dad more? Because Aizen inspired him? Also, is Yuzu still the one who cuts his hair?

What, the third seat? Pretty sure that was one of the guys that messed with Rangiku anyway.

From soul society's perspective Rukia was a prisoner about to die, nobody really seemed to care about that. He never did anything to Byakuya, and Kira's confirmed to be naturally screwed up so Gin did nothing there. Hinamori and Hitsugaya were way more messed up by Aizen than Gin.

Well, to Byakuya he's just being a normal ass really. But it's not about whether people care about Rukia, it's about showing that he does those things with no practical purposes, thus suggesting that he just does it for some sadistic fun.

As for Rangiku? If he never went for revenge in the first place, then he won't need to worry about "he could fail". Sure, Rangiku is ultimately thankful to him, but at that point, her choice was only between accepting or resenting him. Before that, when he's still alive, she was miserable due to his distancing himself even though she's right there, like dangling something she can't have and yet can't discard.

Look at Rangiku's poem:
>To know sorrow is not terrifying.
>What is terrifying is to know you can't go back
>to happiness you could have.

Given the choice, don't you think she'd rather have that happiness and him not taking that snake's path in the first place? Who is he to say she'd never ever develop independence without him being a villain?
>>
>>152388927
That still doesn't make him Mayuri or Aizen levels of evil, which most people try to treat him like he's beyond them when they bring up the scene with Rukia, or Hiyori.

"when you embark on a journey of revenge, dig two graves."
Gin is smart enough to keep this in mind and that's why he distances himself. Obviously he feels getting the hogkyoku and restoring Rangiku's soul was something that needed to happen, and the only problem with that is Kubo never bothers to fully flesh out these details.
>Look at Rangiku's poem:

Quick question about bleach.

Is it worth to force myself through the first episodes.

Watched about the first 4 episodes and it`s quite boring. Does it get better?

>Who is he to say she'd never ever develop independence without him being a villain?

No. If you really want to experience Bleach just read the manga, you can get through the five or so chapters it takes to make an episode in less time than to watch.

>That still doesn't make him Mayuri or Aizen levels of evil, which most people try to treat him like he's beyond them when they bring up the scene with Rukia, or Hiyori.

>>152390937
I'm not arguing on that anon's behalf. I'm making a point about how people have a tendency to paint Gin to be worse than he really is, and ignore most of what is implied and blatantly stated about him and his relationship with Rangiku.

>>152391008
>She didn't say it's better than him NOT LEAVING in the first place anon
She followed HIM to the Seireitei anyway. They attended the Academy together, and were likely still able to see each other during the period before his betrayal, considering Aizen stated that Gin had affection for her, he wouldn't come to such a conclusion unless the two would still be able to see each other during the 100 years they served the gotei. And remember at the end of the day, the reason Gin did any of that was Aizen's fault.

I've seen people say the sales kept dwindling and last volume sells worse than the ones right before it, but looking at the pattern between past sales and "last seen ranking" it seems that v74 will actually hit 500k.
>>
>>152421894
>v74
>most likely to hit 500k

how did he do it? meme magic?
>>
>>152421975
Sentimentality perhaps?

Anyway, in the yearly sales recap v74 looks like it sold less than 71-72, but that kind of decreasing number is more a function of release date, when we look at past years' figures. What I'm highlighting is the ratio between "last seen ranking" and the yearly sales. Now, more number crunching is needed but seeing that v74's "last seen ranking" sales exceeded all other volumes this year and closer to v67/68 figure, 500k total doesn't seem impossible.

Maybe somethig about Hinamori (another popular character).
It's weird that Hitsugaya's character in SS and Arrancar arc mostly revolved around his bond with Hinamori, then he ended up stabbing her, started training his ass off in order to protect her, and they never interacted again. We only got a panel of her noticing his presence during the Gerard battle. I'm not a shipper, and I don't even like Hitsugaya, but that's just bad writing.

They also don't interact at all in the novel despite being at the same table. I like her dynamic with Shinji more, but it's really weird.

Postscript: Kubo Tite

“Do you have any plans to draw Rukia’s wedding ceremony and the events surrounding it which occur before the final chapter?”

It began with this question from the Novel Editorial Department and with my answer that I had no plans to draw those events.

I’ve been able to draw the final chapter as I wanted to: blasting time forward in one go after the final battle and letting Ichigo’s and Rukia’s children meet. That’s why I didn’t have any plans to add anything.

Hearing that Matsubara-sensei wanted to write about these events in a novel if I had no intention of drawing them, I told her ‘please do’ and she wrote the novel.

When Matsubara-sensei told me “If Kubo-sensei won’t draw the confession and proposal scenes, then I will also leave them out, because the readers, myself included, won’t be satisfied”, I wondered how she could ever write a novel about the wedding ceremony that way, but she executed it beautifully. It brought tears to my eyes.

I’m sure that people who love Ichigo and Rukia like me, will also cry.

Kubo Tite

Postscript: Matsubara Makoto

I’m Matsubara Makoto.

When I received the offer to write a novel in celebration of BLEACH’s conclusion, I thought “I want to write a story about Ichigo and Orihime, and Rukia and Renji’s wedding.”

However, I didn’t write the important confession and proposal scenes. That’s because I didn’t want to hinder everyone’s personal visions of “I’m sure those two did it like this…” by giving a concrete depiction of those scenes.

I hope this novel will contribute to everyone’s visions of “the 10 years gap”.

Matsubara Makoto

Translation by tenshiscave. Now everything is cleared up since we have a proper translation.
>>
>>152423818
Jin-hikari's translation of Kubo's comment:

Kubo-sensei, do you have a comment on “Drawing things like Rukia’s wedding ceremony before the last chapter.”
When the novel publication company asked for that, I had planned to absolutely never draw it.
I answered that way at the beginning.
Following the last battle and the timeskip, Ichigo and Rukia’s kids have a chance meeting. That was the kind of ending I wanted to draw, and because of that I had no plans to add to it.
Even if there were no plans to draw more, when Mitsubara-sensei asked me “I want you to draw for the novel,” then of course I was going to grant his request.
It was because Mitsubara-sensei thought “If Kubo-sensei doesn’t draw a confession or proposal scene and I put it in myself, the readers won’t accept it. Without a drawing of the cause, how can this be a novel about a marriage proposal!?” that beautiful plans were made.
Also, I eventually cried. Don’t you think that the people who like Ichigo or Rukia the same way I do will gradually come to tears, too?

===

Has a slightly different nuance. I don't know if it has something to do with shipping IR? In any case, I don't recall verduistering being a shipper of anything, and his/her grasp of Japanese always seem to be a level above other fan translators, so I've always hold his/hers as the most reliable.
