is the anime coming back or was it just a ruse?
>>154495475
Maybe next year.
>>154495475
There is nothing to see after that arc anyway.
>>154495475
This shit is never coming back, and thank kami-sama for that.
>>154495475
Dunno. I hope soon.
when the anime comes back, I'll have an excuse to post more ichiruki
>>154495475
Even if it does come back, it won't be worth watching.
>>154495475
Maybe when the movie comes out. They might do a promo ova. Who knows.

does anybody know the number of the episode
that recaps pretty much the first season of bleach?
I can't seem to find it for some reason. pls help.
>>154504422
if the anime does come back then i hope it follows the manga and gives us the canon ichihime/renruki end just so i can get even more assblast

It would be automatically better than the manga.

>>154505364

>>154495475
Why do you even want this anime back?
Bleach's pacing in the Quincy invasion/Soul king arc is terrible with the ending being fucking terrible.
Jail, Yourself, Zombie, and Almighty (vs Ichibe) are the only good fights in this whole arc. anything else worth mentioning in this whole arc are just reveals, that's it.
It's a mess of a story because there are far too many characters to try and cover.
What is the point of watching it all over again? Do you just want to be let down by the many dropped plot points, shitty twists and Chekhov's gun violations all over again?
>>154505364
That's how they fix this shit show. Animate the story of the arc as kubo intended
>>154505572
That like what Naruto did, and is far more serviceable than what happened to Bleach

RenRuki for one. And Rukia giving more about that walking pair of tits over the guy who saved her from death.
>>154507081
Renruki was so obvious. It's just that you didn't want to see it.
As for Rukia telling Orihime first, it's honestly a girl thing. Even Orihime asks if it's okay to tell her first and Rukia answers this with the whole "best girlfriend" line.
>>154507081
>walking pair of tits
very bitter ichirukist indeed
>>154507228
Rukia wants to fuck Orihime. Renji is her beard.
>>154505807
I still can't get over the fucking title.
>>154507228
It was obvious if you looked at it as a piece of fiction and not as someone immersed in the story.
That being said, it's just a weak defense for shitty writing.
>>154507228

To fix the ending.
>>154504797
That was a fun thread
>>154508187
It has nothing to do with the childhood friend trope you dumb fuck. Tatsuki never liked Ichigo that way, and she was practically written out of the story unlike Renji who stayed tied at the hip with Rukia after the SS arc.
>>154507970
>pic related is all I need to debunk your dumbass post
>>154508454

Yet RenRukifags cite it as proof for their ship.
>>154508318
There's nothing to fix anon.

They don't cite it as proof though? They just like the fact that those two are childhood friends.

IchiHime is one of the flaws of Bleach.
>>154508625
It sucks when you actually like rukia and think she's a good character :(

There is nothing wrong with the end pairings
>>154508968
well no shit every time these threads come up no one can be happy since the ending was trash. What else is there to talk about? These fanfiction novels?
Isn't anime mostly meant as promotion for the manga? what's the point now that the manga has ended?
>>154509190
>implying kubo had a choice in this and that it wasn't just to satisfy the broadest demographic possible
But i thought ichiruki were the biggest part of them fanbase
>>154509734
We are. The real reason was that Orihime is Kubo's waifu and he disregarded all the previous stuff he's written just so she'd get her desired endgame.
In short: Waifufags ruin everything once again.
>>154509734
Don't try to use logic with an IR fan. They don't have any of that.
>>154509958
>The real reason was that Orihime is Kubo's waifu
Again with the conspiracy theories? My fucking sides.
>>154509717
A new anime , especially after a long time, and especially if it's a new anime from the start of the series, makes new readers interested in the manga, or makes that former fans feel interested again, so the manga volumes increase the sales, even since the first volumes if they are new readers..
>>154509347
keep whining
>>154510053
>Again with the conspiracy theories? My fucking sides.
He has stated he wanted her to win from the beginning. She was always his waifu.
>>154509734
Majority of the bleach fandom including a good deal of the irfags left around the 3rd major arc, irfagbase, though still having more fags shipping that crap, aren't as big as they claim to be anymore, even the Japs have turned against them.
You shipping faggots are without a doubt the worst part of any fanbase
>>154510215
>He has stated he wanted her to win from the beginning
Not really. He just said that she was always the love interest while Rukia was the bro/nakama.
>>154509958
>Orihime is Kubo's waifu
Hi debbie/arie/annie/whomever the fuck you are. You lost.
>>154510341
Kubo has stated multiple times that Orihime is his favorite girl in the series.
>>154510468
Nope. He only talked about his favorite female characters twice and he stated Yoruichi/Rangiku the first time and then Rangiku/Orihime the second time.
He has never stated multiple times that Orihime is his favorite girl though it wouldn't surprised if she was one of his favorites in general.
>>154510451
It's probably Saiyan.
I doubt the anime's ever coming back and even if it does the staff will be different since Masashi Kudo's buy with his own directorial work and Noriyuki Abe is working on Boruto.
>>154510585
It can't be him. He didn't use any TVTropes term so far.
What kind of power does Ichika have?
>>154510585
Or this new one in the last months in reddit and Bleachmyasylum: inferno and roffle respectively
>>154504797
Orihime had more character development than Rukia ever did, and that's saying something.
Ichirukia fans are the absolute fucking worst in terms of taste personality wise AND tits-wise.

Wrong

she was given powers so that she wouldn't be left out
>>154510925
Oh yes rofflemywaffles or something like that. They're annoying.
>>154510946
I think both girls got character development, though I think Rukias development finished a lot earlier than Orihimes.
I also think both girls are pretty and attractive in their own way though I prefer Orihimes design.
>>154510946
im usually a tit guy but since orhime had no development whatsoever she was just annoying. i would have preferred a win with fucking rangiku or nel over hime

>Both girls struggled with guilt and sadness towards a loved one
Orihime resolves this early on during the Hollow!Sora fight while Rukia doesn't resolve this till her fight with Aaeroniero where she finally gets to avenge Kaien in her own way.
>Both girls don't think they're not worth saving during their arcs and struggle with different emotions such as sadness/happiness/guilt etc and this something Rukia points out during the HM arc
Rukia realizes that she actually wants to live during the SS arc and also realizes that she is important to others, the biggest being Byakuya. During the HM arc, Orihime doesn't understand at first why the group came to save her but then she does with her "my heart is already with them" speech. They both realize that they're worthy and important.
>Both girls wanted their strength to be acknowledged
Orihime wanted Ichigo to count her during a battle instead of telling her to stay back and Rukia has always wanted Byakuya to compliment her strength. Interesting how both girls get their wish during the same arc yet it's only Orihime that gets shit for wanting Ichigo to count on her.
>>154511476
Yes, they stopped translating because certain fans were twisting the translations and it was obviously IR fans since Verduisteurung translated parts of the another Bleach novel and never had this problem. It's a shame.
>>154511479
if someone says that ichihime/renruki ruined the series then they're obviously just angry shippers.
I decided to check DB the other day for the first time in months and even with the general section closed down there were still complaints, holy shit. I was an IRfag but to get this asshurt is just stupid.
>>154511783
It was just the cherry on top the shitcone.

I thought she translated the whole safwy and posted it like a .pdf ?
>>154511817
Post the goods.
>>154511883
>>154511866
Yes she translated that entire novel, but she was also translating certain parts of the RR novel(she would share her favorite parts) but stopped since certain fans were twisting scenes into something bad and negative and we all know it was IR fans.
I don't care about shipping or pairs or whatever.
I just want more Mayuri shenanigans.
>>154511926
kek, saiyan is made of salt. also hes taking the fainting thing too literally, that scene is just suppose to show us how flustered rukia is at the thought of taking renjis last name.

This person, with another different nick, usually posted too in Narutobase forums whining about the same, but most people didn't agree with him/her either xD.
It seems he/she want to spread his /her IchiRuki rants in various forums to convert the no-believers or something.
>>154511992
I feel sorry for him. And a bit of respect. No matter the salt, he never engaged in personal attacks against other members and never bullied like the prominent ichirukicultists.
>>154511992
Yeah the fainting thing was a bad choice of words from the person who wrote up the novel spoilers. They later explained what they were trying to say when they wrote 'faint'.
Anyway reading the actual translation of that scene, it was a simple case of inner nerves and nothing more, it's a cute scene.
>>154512122
I correct myself. It was gamefaqs forums, not Narutobase

Holy shit, what some IchiRuki fans have to make up to continue denying the truth: "IchiRuki was soooo special, and Kubo loved it too much that he knew that his writing skills weren't good enouth anymore for the perfection that is IchiRuki"
I know all shippers are blind about their pairing but, what the hell XD?
>>154513002
>"IchiRuki was soooo special, and Kubo loved it too much that he knew that his writing skills weren't good enouth anymore for the perfection that is IchiRuki"
Denial. They just don't face the fact that they were wrong all this years, and that they actually didn't understand Bleach better than the rest of the fanbase.
They've made up so many excuses as to why IR didn't happen. Sad and embarrassing.
>>154513002
The sad fact is, the images anon posted are showcasing some relatively mild commentaries from IRs on that website, long winded essays about how some IRs on that site apparently 'knew Kubo personally with promises of making IR canon' or how much they hate Orihime because they are reminded of their teenage self, getting outdone by the pretty big boobed girl at school (no lie the screenshots are on the anal hall of devestation 2), that sort of shit will make you want to claw your eyes out.
>>154513389
>how much they hate Orihime because they are reminded of their teenage self, getting outdone by the pretty big boobed girl at school
They self-inserted obviously. The hate they had towards Orihime was too obsessive and weird.
>>154513529

Same with anons here desu. Rukia looks too much like a loli for them not to prefer her.
>>154508187

>You don't create powerful characters just to one-shot them.
To be fair, the Soul King was pretty much always just presented as some vague sort of source of power rather than power in itself.
Old Yama on the other hand...
>>154514110
She doesn't want him to worry about her since that's not the way things go in SS and Renji understands this.
>>154514259
Don't remember how overpowered his limbs were?

>>154514317
I think Rukia took it as an insult if anything, like Ichigo doesn't believe she's strong enough to roam around HM by herself and I could see why he think's that way since she got hurt badly by Grimmjow back in his hometown.
>>154514317
Not necessarily... It's partially the translation I guess but the gist is Ichigo is doubting Rukia's abilities which is not like him since he charged into SS aided only by his high school classmates, a thug from rukongai, and a talking cat.
>>154514361
That makes more sense.
>>154513389

Kubo's just not a good writer.
>>154514972

Yeah, but compare that to when Bleach was selling millions of tanks. That doesn't establish that it's got the kind of popularity that they want to see for a daytime anime.
>>154507315
Just gals bein pals
>>154515068
Yet despite falling in popularity the novel still managed to outsell "Death save the strawberry" that was released while the manga was still on-going.

Editors actually have way more say in a manga than the author himself at times, and Kubo just doesn't seem to get along with technical staff.

>>154515537
Titles used on databooks. That's basically it.
>>154515537
Something something ICHIRUKI IS CANON.
>>154515537
Poem in first manga databook mentioned a black sun, a similar book was made for the anime had a complimentary poem about a white moon. Ichigo is on manga cover Rukia was on anime book cover shippers went into overdrive plastering edits of the two together and proclaiming it was proof of their ship.despite all the 'black moon' shit that describes Ichigo in the series proper
>>154515841
Kazui has the same hilt.
>>154505667
>the story of the arc as kubo intended
Another twenty chapters to show Gerard's and Toofsy's fights, then another bunch to show Ywach reshaping all worlds, defeating everyone and forcing them to regroup, introducing a dozen new goons and starting another hundred chapter long semi-arc to once again try to get to Ywach in whatever place he decided to settle down?
Sure, why not.
>>154516162
Final battle is Everyone vs. Yhwach. Ichigo gives the final blow like in canon.
>>154516884
the real Bleach was the friends we made along the way
>>154515981
Yeah, that was one of the first things people noticed. I wonder if Kazui's Bankai looks like his old man's Shikai.
Not a very popular character, but anyone else here /AsNodt/?
>>154519306
Ichibe said he was a real shinigami after he fixed him up.
The bankai he had before was forced evolved by the hogyoku, and so it manifested through ichigos desire to fight byakuya on even terms by turning into an equally small sword and being fast enough to catch him.
Notice how his Bankai is large at the end of the series, like all Bankai are supposed to be.

>>154508449

>>154525367
Kazui will have many powers, you don't have to bother counting them.
I just hope Ichika can stay relevant for at least 20% of the show.
>>154528032
>I just hope Ichika can stay relevant for at least 20% of the show.
She will since she's the RR child and most importantly Rukia's child and we all know how much Japan loves Rukia.
>>154528094
Yeah, but even Rukia was not relevant for more than 30% of the show, so her daughter(half Renji MCforgoten) might get even less attention.
Well, at least we can be happy Rukia didn't get the Sakura treatment.
>all these butthurt ichiruki fans
>all these smug ichihime fans
lets be real here guys, kubo probably flipped a coin or some shit to pick who Ichigo got with. Kubo gives no fucks.
8 months later anons are still mad over their ships in a series that axed. You people are more pathetic then both SJW's and the Alt Right. Now gonna lie I hope the Anime returns to not only fix this arc's problems but make you fucks even more butthurt.
>>154528685
>Kubo gives no fucks.
He did. Orihime was the only character with the canon love towards Ichigo; it was always obvious that she would win in the end.
>>154529120
>it was always obvious that she would win in the end.
>>154529440
>Most of the shots are just Orihime by herself.
That's just how one-sided it was.
>>154529501
It's just her reaction to certain situations. It's like how the IR collage has that page of Rukia realizing how much Ichigo did for and changed SS during the FB arc.
>>154529323
wow their interactions really lessen after the ss arc.
>>154508968
The other day I saw this post on tumblr:"It has literally been twelve years and I'm still bitter that zutara isn't canon", some shippers are that dramatic.
And besides, zutara, how could they believe that had some posibility to happen? And 12 years, that is when the series started, not the finale, so this person is saying that started shipping zutara since the beginning, when Zuko and Katara don't interact and the reasons that people gave to ship them were that one was fire and the other water, so they go well together. Such a deep reasons (the real reason was that Zuko was hot)
>>154515841
But Ichigo looks like Aizen's vol.48 cover. That's the same pose.
I never really thought Ichiruki worked, the two of them seemed more like 2 good friends or working partners more than lovers. If they ended up together, it would end up feeling forced, if anything.
But I don't really think Ichihime was good either, only because there wasn't much developmentat least on Ichigo's sideof the two of them.
Maybe Ichigo should have just ended up alone?
>>154532135
>Maybe Ichigo should have just ended up alone?
Considering the peanut he has for a brain, the more likely scenario would have beengetting married to a random high-school acquaintence, getting a kid, then getting divorce because that was the golddigger's plan to drop him at his first wrinkle, then run off to Soul Society because he can't pay child support for his wife's son
>>154532135
If Kubo had made obvious Ichigo's side, like, for example, in the pilot chapter, where is obvious both of them liked the other, then Kubo had had to dedicate more time to the romance, something the he himself said he didn't want to give it much time.
So the way to indicate Ichigo's feelings is through hints, not something clearly stated. It's the same with the rest of the relationships in the manga with something romantic, they are implied, not clearly said which are their feelings.
Maybe also Kubo likes more the hints than the obvious. This is the man who said he put foreshadowing that only a few readers would get, so I think he likes that his readers deduce things instead of telling it clearly to them
Who /IchiTatsu/ here?
>>154532659
The only proper choice.along with IchiYuzu
>>154495475
Not before Kubo finishes Zombie Powder
>>154532718
Disgusting.
>>154534036
ZP with Kubo's new style. I want to see that
>>154532659
If Tatsuki totally wanted that Ichigo and Orihime became together, even though she thought that Orihime could do much better than Ichigo.
>>154536034
I will never stop being mad at Orihime being part of the "good guys" team despite being a complete bore and utterly useless fro the entire run while Tatsuki was swept under the rug and swiftly forgotten despite being the more interesting character.
Same for Karin. I had a glimmer of hope at the beginning of the Fullbring arc but nope, that was just another empty tease.
All I want to know is when that stupid guide book or whatever is coming out.
How the fuck else am I supposed to find out what ichigo's, renjis, Shinji, and possibly aizen's bankais are.
And while we're at it explaining what the fuck Unohana bankais supposed be.
>>154536911
>All I want to know is when that stupid guide book or whatever is coming out.
Bleach is getting one of those?
>>154536958
I honestly don't know, I just heard talk about it early on when bleach finished. and have been holding on to the idea ever since.
>>154536034
But I like the idea of childhood friends becoming lovers damnit
>>154536985
>>154536958
>>154536911
No there is no guidebook announced.
People wanted a databook after the manga finished is all. The only things announced were light novels, live action movie, one shot from Kubo for said movie, and recently news of an interview with Kubo requested by a fellow mangaka.
>>154537082
Renruki say hi.
>>154537196
That one is a bad example.
>>154537212
No its a good one but I like IchiTatsu better
If Tatsuki was relevant, it would have been hard for me to choose between her and Rukia as Ichigo's correct endgame.
>>154504422
Fuck you I like Renji and Rukia together.
>>154537295
Yeah, you against most of the fanbase.
>>154537258
Theres no contest
>>154537315
You mean most of the English fanbase?
>>154537212
>it is a bad example because no MC!
It's a bit sad that DB is almost dead. Their reaction to the Kubo interview could be hilarious.
>>154537350
>You are reminded that Tatsuki was thrown away because she was too similar to Rukia.
>"Why have Tatsuki do x when you could just give it all to Rukia, Kubo-sensei? They're the same character."
>>154537350
What are some good IchiTatsu fics?
>>154509717
If Kubo ever gets working on a sequel with the kids just like Kishimoto, the anime returning would have some merit.
>>154537438
Bleach isn't popular enough to get either.
>>154512343
Only cause they have some content to talk about after the ending, which is movies and Boruto.
If Kazui and Ichika have their series and show their character, there'd probably be more people who think the pairings weren't so bad, and if there's some bigger conflict you would have more people theorizing that would tip discussions away from shipping.
>>154537612
>If Kazui and Ichika have their series
Who actually wants that though?
>>154536911
Unohana's bankai is bloody skeletons.
Zaraki is just too dumb to be afraid of the skeleton that lives inside him.seriously though, shikai and bankai are supposed to "share their element/power" or something along these lines, so what is the underying theme between giant floating green medikit squid and bloody skeletons?
>>154537475
He could get it on another magazine, just like Shaman King did.
>>154537638
No one also wanted another Naruto or their kids to be continued yet here we are.
>>154537791
Bleach might not be as good a cash-cow as Naruto.
And Kubo might be tired of it too.
But you never know.
>>154495475
Who would watch it?
>>154537742
Is this another case of "your powers are what you need the most when you unlock it"
>>154537826
>>154536726
Orihime is a very entartaining character and from the start it was obvious she was going to be one of the mains.
Tatsuki didn't have powers, it was clear too that she was going to remain little relevant.
>>154537082
But they should have shown some romantic interest in each other, but that wasn't the case. You should respect what your favorite characters want, don't force them into something that they don't want.
>>154531761
>zutara, how could they believe that had some posibility to happen?
It was about as absurd and impossible as Korrasami.
>want to drop it several times during and after mexico arc
>do it after they capture aizen
>years later shit is over
>don't even want to finish it
Maybe I'll just read/watch those early chapters/episodes again.
>>154537896
That's the thing though, Orihime pretty much pulled her powers out of nowhere because we needed a girl in the good guys team.
The first fight with her could have gone either way, really, neither her nor Tatsuki were that developped in the first place (it was barely one or two volumes in, so that's to be expected considering Kubo's sluggish pacing) and powers were just appearing out of nowhere for the sake of plot and building a team.
Plus the problem is that while Orihime was quite fun in the very early points of the series, she became completely flat as things went on, going from "I must protect my friends by putting my hands in front of me and make triangles happen" to "oh noes, Ichigo save me!".
she turned into a plot device you carry along because you need to heal people so you can throw them into more fights
>>154537826
Not me.
>>154537742
her shikai restores flesh. bankai removes it. healing water/murdering water
>>154538021
>Respect what your favorite characters want
This is some autism right here
>>154538225
the way it looked, he Bankai was an illusion since neither of them actually seemed significantly more damaged afterward (except from her beind dead, which was in one blow)
>>154538091
All the characters in this series have powers because the author decided so. You know, it's a way to create a story.
Orihime had much more protagonist than Tatsuki since the first volumes. It's obvious she was going to be one of the main characters and Tatsuki not.
The characters don't remain static in a story, if you don't like what Kubo did with Orihime is ok. I don't like many things that Kubo did after the SS arc, and this include what did and how changed most of the characters, not only Orihime.
For the people who didn't like the ending which pairing did you think was worse, RenRuki or IchiHime?
I'm not really a big fan of IchiHime but it was...serviceable I suppose, at least relative to the quality of the series at that point.
But RenRuki was even worse for me. Yeah I get that Renji liked Rukia but she really didn't seem to respect him much. Felt very forced to me, much more so than IchiHime
>>154537396
What's DB?
>>154538389
she did some kinda of healing voodoo along with it. remember greaser RG taught her healing water arts. so she had those both mixed in together. 'ill kill you 1000 times and heal you' etc
>>154538275
It's ok to fantasize about it, but don't ask that it be canon, when canon says otherwise, that they don't have interest in each other
>>154538545
IchiRuki forum, Deathberry
>>154538464
Literally the only men she's shown 'respect' for are her superiors i.e. nii sama, Ukitake and kaien.
It'd be pretty weird if she was in love with any of the aforementioned. Renji and Rukia are old friends, any disrespect is just playful and not serious.
>>154536726
>I will never stop being mad at Orihime being part of the "good guys" team despite being a complete bore and utterly useless fro the entire run while Tatsuki was swept under the rug and swiftly forgotten despite being the more interesting character.
I think the reason this happened is because Tatsuki was, in some ways, too similar to Rukia so Kubo decided to keep Orihime who contrasted with her more.
Also the tits.
>>154538464
>>154538641
>reminder than one of the first things he didn in the story was try to murder her when she was defenceless
>>154538602
Nobody is saying it should be canon tho,just that the idea sounds appealing.
>>154538641
She made fun of Ichigo a lot too but she still seemed to respect him.
I get that a romantic relationship doesn't require that element but I don't think the interactions between Rukia and Renji really made their relationship seem anything more than a one sided crush between childhood friends.
RenRuki could've been redeemed just within the last arc but instead we had to see like a dozen fights no one cares about instead and have them forced together at the last second.
>>154538545
The cancer of the bleach fandom where Ichiruki landwhales accumulate. They are either young school girls self inserting as Rukia, or grown ass women with unfulfilling lives also self inserting as Rukia.
>>154532659
I would've preferred it just so both shipper camps would get BTFO and also because Tatsuki is based.
>>154532135
I agree. IchiHime should've been developed more but part of me thinks Kubo wanted to leave it open as to who Ichigo would end up with to keep his options open until the end so he decided not to develop Ichigo much so as to commit to one or the other.
Personally, I would've preferred a heroic death for Ichigo. Then make RenRuki and IshiHime where both Rukia and Orihime longingly remember Ichigo to keep it in the air who he'd end up with just because fuck you all.
>>154538709
No he didn't he deliberately misses his attack on her, and I doubt he would have such a shocked reaction when Byakuya informed them she is going to be executed if he wanted her murdered, much less considering the fact he told her that her brother would definetly get her out of jail with nothing more than a slap on the wrist.
>>154495475
Nobody wants to see the last arc animated. It was fucking nonsense. The villains were way to fucking strong that the supposed strongest characters in the series still jobbed to them with the exception of Kubo's self insert.
>>154538827
Because of that Kubo said that there weren't romantic feelings in Ichigo and Rukia's relationship, already many years ago, because he wanted to be ambiguous
>>154538709
Yeah he was such a little bitch. Even when he decided to save her he got fucked by Byakuya.
You should never be allowed to fuck a girl if you get your ass kicked by her older brother after being his sniveling lackey in trying too subjugate and kill her.
>>154538827
>IshiHime
That would have been horrible. While I liked Ichigo ending up with the tittymonster, I can agree that there wasn't that much development. But there was absolutely nothing between her and Ishida.
>>154538887
And even before that, he was worried when Rukia was going to help Ichigo, because she was going to worse her sentence. Supposedly he wanted to "kill" her, but the next moment he is worried about her sentence getting more severe.
>>154539028
>That would have been horrible.
Shit taste confirmed.
>>154538827
>Kubo wanted to leave it open as to who Ichigo would end up with to keep his options open until the end so he decided not to develop Ichigo much so as to commit to one or the other.
Nah, it's because he obviously wanted IR fans to still hope since it's the most popular pairing. Hello, remember the Urahara scene where it's implied that Rukia should've gone to the final battle with Ichigo but then Renji goes with him? He baited them and he was baiting them for years(the beach ~honeymoon~ spread is an another huge example of this)
Many mangaka tend to do this to appease both sides especially if one is one popular. Kishi even admitted to adding certain scenes to lead on Narusaku fans and a lot of shoujos tends to pick the endgame guy in the last or second to last chapter.
>>154539028
There was a little on Ishida's side towards her. Which means it was a one sided affection, much like IchiHime throughout the vast majority of the series.
Wouldn't have been great but honestly in general there wasn't much romantic development so any pairing would've felt sort of forced since the romance occupied almost no space in the series.
>>154539087
Okay I could see that.
>>154537295
>I like jobber getting best girl
what a weird thing to say
>>154539014
> if you get your ass kicked by her older brother
Did you forget the scene where Byakuya praises him after their fight and tells him "your fangs did reach me"?
>>154538929
>Kubo's self insert
Mayuri or Aizen?
>>154539099
Ishihime is nothing like Ichihime. Ishihime was dropped back in SS arc and dropped isn't even the right word I'm looking for since that entire arc shows that Uryu knows Orihime has feelings for Ichigo. If he did feel anything for her then it was just a mere little crush that never went anywhere since he knew he had no chance.
>>154539135
So what? He still got destroyed the second Byakuya released his bankai.Wasn't even close. Would've been more respectable if he wounded Byakuya and that wound ended up helping Ichigo beat Byakuya or something. As is his fight with Byakuya contributed nothing to saving Rukia.
>>154539206
>Ishihime is nothing like Ichihime.
Yeah, it was actually good.
>>154539099
How is going Kubo to end the manga with Orihime still very much in love wit Ichigo and then, put Ishida and Orihime together? That is really bad writing
>>154539158
Mayuri.
>>154539099
I honestly don't remember Ishida having any sort of romantic affection towards her. The only thing I can remember with them is the time she almost undressed in front of him.
>tfw nobody cares about aiichihime but you
;_;
>>154538887
>>154539044
you just sit on here all day and make shit up dont you? autistic fuck.
IchiHime is shit, just admit it. Only a minority of the fanbase wanted it.
>>154539227
>Yeah, it was actually good.
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
>>154539212
>As is his fight with Byakuya contributed nothing to saving Rukia.
Byakuya saved Rukia from Gin stabbing her on Sokyoku hill.
>>154539234
And then you remember that time Hiyori interrupted a very special moment...if he doesn't go full industry lunatic...choose your own romantic adventure with your psi-spirit guide comatose (again) Juhabach?
>>154539287
Yes, I'll sleep well tonight knowing I don't eat crap like you.
>>154539087
Kubo had already said that there weren't romantic feelings between Ichigo and Rukia. Why was he going to say this if he wanted to give IchiRuki fans some hope?
It's simly that people see everything with shipping goggles.
>>154539313
Whatever helps you sleep at night.
>>154539206
They implied he still had feelings for her in HM as well.
Besides like I said, there was almost no romantic development so for me Kubo could've pulled almost anything out of his ass given the ten year time skip. In fact I would've preferred some out of left field ships like IchiSuki and IshiHime
>>154539234
The writing was already bad, might as well surprise the fans instead of go with the most boring ship. Also I think with how little romantic development there was IshiHime could've been done with the last arc.
>>154539227
Mah nigga
>>154539242
>I honestly don't remember Ishida having any sort of romantic affection towards her. The only thing I can remember with them is the time she almost undressed in front of him.
There was also the scene where he makes that dress for Rukia but then asks Orihime to try it on and Orihime thinks he has feelings for Rukia with a caption saying she got it completely wrong or something.
There was the scene in HM where she asks him to take her to Ichigo which seemed to me to imply he still had those feelings.
>>154539289
So?
>>154539250
just read the manga idiot
>>154539348
Because majority of IR fans either twisted or ignored that interview and still continued to have hope that IR would happen.
Hope was the wrong word. He was just baiting them and wouldn't be the first mangaka to do this.
>>154539212
It wasn't about how much damage he could do to Byakuya. No one cares about that. The fact is Renji vs Byakuya has been consistently voted as one of the best Bleach fights in official polls, (always in the top 10). The whole fight was about adding to the back story of Renji, Rukia and Byakuya amongst other things like showcasing bankai.
>>154539266
Most people were fine with it, only the autistic shippers who were the loud minority sperged out when it happened. Rukia and Ichigo getting together wouldn't have been any better. Kubo never delved into personal relationships between characters so any pairing at the end would have been forced.
>>154539360
So Ishida had a small little one sided crush on her, how does that make them the better pairing? Orihime was one sided too with Ichigo, but she was full on in love with the guy. Anybody with a functioning brain saw her as the endgame for Ichigo especially after her little confession while Ichigo was asleep.
>>154539360
Nah, Orihime's love was one of the few consistent things of the entire series. It was always obvious she would end up with him. Ishihime was boring and nonexistent and most fans that want it are just Uryu fangirls that don't want him to be alone in the end.
>>154539470
>Ishihime was boring
You misspelled *ichihime.
>Ywachs fight with Ichigo was forced and rushed
>Ywachs death was forced and rushed
>ending was forced and rushed
>ending pairings were forced and rushed
>prologue was forced and rushed
All this could be easily rectified and Kubo can come out a genius if he brings it back and has the whole ending be some meta shit about his God Powers and how it was an illusion all along and Ichigo breaks out of it and bypasses his power
But it won't because Kubo was a hack all along and there was no 8th level of subtext
>>154539360
IshiHime is a not boring ship? XDDD
>>154538929

What does this even mean? I'm genuinely confused.
Numerous ways an anime could be good:
>OVA for the last arc, including all of Kubo's notes for how the story panned out, written by a competent writer and directed by a competent director
>DB Kai revamp with the final arc and touch-ups to the story
>Solidify Ori-ichi to seal in the butthurt forever

You don't know how much novels sell right? it's a completely different audience.
>>154539683
Wasn't Senna just a bad mix between Orihime/Rukia in terms of personality? Ichika seems to be confident and spunky like both her parents.

I liked her interactions and dynamic with Uryuu better. In fact I liked most of her interactions with characters other than Ichigo. In general I didn't care much for Ichigo, painfully boring character.
>>154539517
>XDDD

Oh yea that nutcase ishihime fangirl. I feel like she was self-inserting.
>>154539712
She's doomed to die a different way though is why?
>>154539851
What the fuck are you even talking about?
>>154539779
She is. She self admittedly hates one half of her otp, that is canon Orihime aka the girl she publicly called titty monster, but will 101% flip if you even say anything akin to negativity when Uryuu aka her fictional husband is concerned.
>>154539773
So I'm IchiHime because I see IshiHime boring.
A thread die for this old shit shitposting thread.
>>154539609
I was 99.8% sure IshiHime wasn't going to happen so it wasn't a huge shock or let down to me.
I was just disappointed more generally with the ending because it was so lame in general. Not just IchIhime, all of it. RenRuki was even worse and the kids were too. Just felt like Kubo was phoning it in and decided to copy the Naruto ending.
Karin's tits were the only good part.
>>154539911
Both are boring. One of them is just canon and boring.
>>154539943
>Just felt like Kubo was phoning it in and decided to copy the Naruto ending.
Nah, Dragon-ball had marriage and kids, and so did Kenshin. Naruto wasn't the first major shounen to do it.
>>154539099
I think Ishida had a higher chance ending up with Nemu (until the whole SK arm fight) than Orihime. He's had more moments with her than Orihime and it would really be quite triggering for Mayuri. Coincidentally too, Ishida was once said to be Kubo's self-insert/favorite while Mayuri became his all time favorite.
>>154540096
>Ishida was once said to be Kubo's self-insert/favorite

Main reason I'd like to see a continuation with the kids is for the chance of seening more Karin.
>>154539943
>I was just disappointed more generally with the ending because it was so lame in general
So the ending was lame, but you only talk about pairings
>>154539313
>mocks Ichihime cause it is a one-sided romance
>yet likes Ishihime which is also one-sided romance
Should just say that you're a Ichiruki shipper who just wants Orihime out of the way.
>>154540123
People said this because Ishida likes to make clothes, fashion in general
>>154540096
>that whole weird tension with Nemu during the Soul Society Arc
>nothing ever comes of it
>Ishida's raging revenge boner driving him to fuck up Mayuri
>nothing ever comes of it
Honestly no one should've been fucking surprised by how devoid of satisfaction and meaning the ending was. This shit has been going on for years. People just got blinded by the happening early in the final arc.
>>154540123
I remember there was like an interview back then where Kubo said he designed Ishida like him or that he expresses his opinions through him.
>>154540029
Goku got married and had kids well before the end of that series and Kenshin's relationship with Kaoru was far more developed and she had no rivals. The dynamic in Bleach was more similar to Naruto in the way the pairing was left ambiguous until the end.
>>154540159
That's what others were talking about so I jumped in.
>>154540096
Nemu would've been a good pairing as well for the reasons you mentioned.
>>154540312
>Honestly no one should've been fucking surprised by how devoid of satisfaction and meaning the ending was. This shit has been going on for years. People just got blinded by the happening early in the final arc.
The thing is there was always a chance that maybe we could get something that was okay but in the end we didn't(except for Karin's tits).
>>154540312
>that whole weird tension with Nemu during the Soul Society Arc
It was never that big of a thing though, I remember the anime adding a lot more Nemu x Ishida so maybe that's what people were expecting?
>Ishida's raging revenge boner driving him to fuck up Mayuri
The guy technically saved his life twice, I had to assume by the second time Ishida decided to reconsider his blind revenge.
>>154540312

When is going to appear the interview between Kubo and Yuusei Matsui?
>>154540693
I don't think a date was announce yet, but if you wanna get an idea of how the interview will go then just read the Kishi x Togashi one that happened last year.
Since we've only complained about ships what were some that were actually decent in the series? RangikuxGin and UraharaxYoruichi were good.
>>154540825
Shunsui x Nanao
>>154540825
NelXNnoitra
>>154540825
Both of those are shit though. Gin was a dumbass that went to get revenge Rangiku never asked for, and Urahara turned Yoruichi into some mindless catgirl in the final arc. Yoruichi is in SS now so that means they're not partners anymore.
>>154540825
I think it's ridiculous to criticize the canon pairings and then to say that pairings with much less development are good.
>>154540934
>NelXNnoitra
>>154540842
That was a good one.
>>154540936

>>154541001
>I think it's ridiculous to criticize the canon pairings and then to say that pairings with much less development are good.
Why? More development=/ better, not when Kubo does it. Yoruichi and Urahara or Shunsei and Nanao were much more fun to watch together than Ichigo and Orihime or Rukia and Renji
>>154541131
>You say that like its a bad thing
Fanservice aside, it was.
>>154541168
But why? She was losing the fight and gained the upper hand when he did that. She was letting her pride get in the way of defending the universe.
>>154541131
What is fun to see is opinion. I enjoy a lot Renji and Rukia's interactions.
But you are talking about romantic development, where is in those, oh so better, pairings?
>>154541001
It's like people saying that the only good pairing in Naruto is ShikaTema, and this couple even needed various novels to show, not their marriage, but how they had became to be close and finally fell in love,
In Bleach the canon pairings had a much better development compared to ShikaTema and people criticize them. Where is the logic?
>>154541285
I just said I prefer them because I enjoy their interactions more.
>>154540825
AizenxIchigo
>>154541333
>ShikaTema
This pairing honestly had like 6 panels together.
For those who haven't seen it yet. Jump made an official sticker with ichiruki instead of canon pairings. They know what sells and what nips want. They even photoshopped them together badly. Of course there is no sticker with Inoue.
>>154541679
See IchiHimefags? Nobody wants your shitty ship.
>>154541679
Oh yes the whole sticker thing. I remember when the first one was revealed yet they forgot to mention that Mayuri and Nemu also got one.
I loved the butt destruction this caused the only one better is when pic related won.
>>154541679
IchiTatsu stickers when
>>154541679
I don't think it has anything to do with pairings. It's probably an MC or duo type sticker.
Their ad for the RR novel has the Ichihime sketch right smack in the middle so I don't think JUMP really gives a shit anymore about appeasing to IR fans.
I'm deathly aware that there is only 2-3 people in these Bleach threads that actively defend IchiHime.
>>154541885
I suppose they weren't pleased with sales numbers for that novel. It's really low compared to other ones.
>>154541840
Why would best girl winning make people angry?
>>154541947
They are just trolls who like to watch people butthurt.
>>154541965
>It's really low compared to other ones.
The RR novel is literally the highest-selling Matsubara novel to date, it even outsold the previous novel "death save the strawberry".
What are you even saying anon?
>>154542049
Have you seen the stars for it? Low as fuck.
>>154541992
>someone genuinely likes ichihime
>labeled a troll
The paranoia is unreal.
I've been listening to the openings a lot lately, good shit, I loved the casual style they had going on.

also never really gave a fuck about shipping but I did like the idea of Ichigo and Rukia.
>>154541965
It sold more than the glorified DSTS, which was labeled as an IR novel.
Which turned out to not have IR in it.
>>154542049
Compare it to other novels, not talking about Bleach. Like Youjo Senki, or Seraph, or Death note.
>>154542079
The RR novel has four out of five stars on amazon.jp. Seriously what are you talking about?
If you're talking about the final volume which has 2 and a half stars then I'm not sure about the total sales, but I do know it sold over 450k.
>>154542079
Have you seen the sells of it? High as fuck.
Trivia: These threads wouldn't be dogshit if IchiRuki happened. You know why? Because it was what most people wanted.
>>154542089
It's true though. I perfectly well remember these threads while manga was ongoing. There was zero IH fangirls here, while Rukia was worshipped. IH supposedly appeared only after the ending. It's trolls obviously who just like to make people ass blasted and have an occasion for it now.
>>154542150
You must be high to say it. Compare it with other novels, retard. Not Bleach ones. And see it's place in the overall rating.
>>154541840
But that's actually a good pairing though
>>154542172
Or maybe you could grow up and talk about anything that isn't your failed ship?
>>154542089
/a/ never unironically liked IchiHime. You would get laughed out of here for supporting it.
>>154542177
They're trying to ride the cocktails of NaruSaku. Parading IchiHime to cause drama.
>>154542177
I remember as well. I was one of the only posters who liked Orihime and I shippedIshiHime
Then again maybe they migrated to these threads after the ending to say "I told you so"
>>154542267
I'm just stating a fact and you have nothing to oppose it. There was ZERO IH shippers before the ending in these threads. Zero.
>>154542299
Delusional.
I'm one of those ih shippers.
>>154542299
>There was ZERO IH shippers before the ending in these threads.
There were actually. Some were trolls, but some were genuine IH fans. It was during the last few chapters. Check the archive and see for yourself.
Don't forget all the IchiHime shippers that would have come out of the woodwork when it happened.
>>154542217
>>154542115
I know that when compared to other LN series(like SAO for example), 60k isn't much but overall it isn't a bad number at all. Like I said, "Death save the strawberry" came out while the manga was on-going and more popular yet sold around 55k while this one sold 60k despite the lackluster ending and major fall in popularity.
>>154542217
It's currently no.8 on jumps bestsellers on Amazon.jp it was no.1 for a time. Why would you compare to other non bleach novels anyway?
Since the latest novel did well, how good will the upcoming Hisagi one by Narita do? The previous Narita Bleach novel sold over 90k btw.
I hope Raildex threads are this entertaining when Mikoto inevitably wins the Toumab Owl while Index is predictably paired up with Stiyl. The anal devastation will be legendary.
>>154541679
Again with the stickers? Didn't you learn your lesson the first time around?
>>154542217
But what has to do the novels with the stickers? Because you were answering to a post about the stickers.
And Jump books have had to reprint the novel 2 times, and they are continuously announcing in its twitter that it has great sales. You can't compare what an editorial expect of different series. For them this novel has sold very well.
>>154542473
I expect it to do well, Hisagi is a consistently popular character and one I feel Narita can write really well, if his last short story is anything to go by.
>>154508625
she will die just like ichigo mother,and then the history will start all over again
kek im going through the archive and irfags still didn't believe the spoilers when pic was leaked
>>154542709
Post link to the archive I want to see the salt
>>154541679
>the two main and most recognizable characters that the series started with get a sticker together
So surprising.
>>154539551
How the fuck do you break toes on a helmet and how did they keep filming after that?

In all honestly, do you guys think Bleach shitposting will slow down in time for the next novel? How long until the teenagers move on and we can have actual decent Bleach discussion again?
>>154543355
I don't know. I just thought the art was cute.
>>154543357
>How long until the teenagers move on and we can have actual decent Bleach discussion again?
I posted the newest chapter to the latest novel and then some IRfags got angry. It's always them that start shit and then IHfags engage them.
>>154543199
>>154543321
Thanks anon. Needed these on my fries.
>>154543639
I consider anyone who legitimately cares about shipping in a battle shounen a teenager, at least mentally. There's an entire genre, hell, an entire demographic dedicated to romance manga yet they choose to discuss it here instead, it's completely pathetic.
>>154543357
>muh discussion
There's always this one faggot who blurts out "muh discussion" when he sees a post he didn't like.
What do you want to discuss little tim? you didn't like the pairing? annoyed by the ending? wanna discuss how the anime could fix- oh wait
>>154543199
a lot of those are people pretending to be outraged overall the ending of bleach didn't cause near as much butthurt as the Naruto ending
>>154543761
You are the problem.
>>154543820
>overall the ending of bleach didn't cause near as much butthurt as the Naruto ending
No one said it did? Who mentioned Naruto in the first place? Also I have to disagree, IR was by far the most popular pairing so it generated butthurt on here/tumblr/twitter/facebook/deathberry forum/tieba whereas most naruto fans wanted NH as the main pairing.
>>154543357
What else is there to talk about?
>>154541679
Genos and Saitama also shared a sticker. What's your point?
>>154544427
>Implying they aren't the OTP of OPM.
>>154544250
Literally anything that is Bleach related that isn't shipping?
>>154544546
Are these two OTP as well?

fuck you kubo
>>154544557
I'm seriously struggling to think of anything interesting to discuss.

Do you think Mayuri is a creation of Urahara?
With all those stitches and Mayuri's obsession and wish to surpass Kisuke?
>>154544601
Yes.

She died so Zaraki would job.
>>154544739
also this guy, reveals his true intentions then dies just like that
>>154518148
The real Bleach was character designs, fights, banter, and the illusion of interesting stakes.
>>154544674
I will never not be mad.
How the fuck don't you explore this more.
>>154544793
>>154544802
There are actually really graphic ones on the internoids, if ya know what I mean.
>>154544692
Then you don't need to be included in this discussion.
>>154544714
Created? Not in the literal sense, but there's definitely more to their history before Mayuri ended up in the maggots nest.
>>154544839
At least it's better than being stuck in a chair for the rest of eternity.
>>154544839
Why did he do it all again?
>>154544714
Let's write some fanfiction about it.
why does Mayuri wear all that shit when he looks relatively normal underneath it?
>>154544914
He was so hearthbroken he went back in Muken all by himself. He has no reason to live and is immortal. Talk about sad fate.
>>154545016
And relatively handsome.
Dunno, it was never mentioned in the manga.
>>154504422

Damn do these kids really think they're savage? How embarrassing.
>Thinks the sketch is a confession when it's not
>"It made me feel something muh echiwooki feels" you felt something that was never the authorial intent, nincompoop.
>"Kubo didn't want to draw renruki because he thought it would be unconvincing" Irfags twisting the postscript translation and suddenly suffering amnesia because we literally get a sketch of renruki blushing like dorks.
>"Orihime le heroine" Irfags still misunderstanding that heroine was used with the context of 'love interest' and not main protagonist.
>"Precious, beautiful, adored Orihime" re-evaluation of life needed. Jealousy of fictional character is unhealthy.
>"If I were an IHfag I'd be sad :(" projecting much.
>"Dat crappy sketch, I can do better!" Fool probably doesn't even have an ounce of the artistic ability Kubo does, said fool would be salivating if said sketch was exactly the same standard but with Rukia instead.
>>154521568
I've had an account there for years and if I recall they restricted views for the same reason the NS forums did for a while. They knew they'd be screencapped to death.
>>154546584
They deleted the general section. Only the FC , the fanart and fanfiction sections remain.
>>154546813
I know, I can see it, I'm a member. I'm just saying that those threads were still up for a good while after the ending, they simply blocked access from non members from viewing them.
They only deleted it once the novel started rolling around and people were getting even more angry. A mod had a hissy fit and deleted everything except those.
And it's funny because I saw them mention my screencaps in there so clearly some of them still shitpost in here.
>>154545094
He didn't even get to show off his Bankai. Just a sad situation all around.
>>154543355
Not even Kubo has any idea. I'm pretty sure he just forgot that Shinigami are already dead people like halfway through SS arc, by the time Rukia's sister caught a cold and died. As a ghost.
>>154547004
You are a hero.
We can all agree that Ichigo is a pussy for taking so long and being so bloody oblivious about Orihime and women in general, right?
In hindsight Rukia is way too good for him, but that's just because Kubo cared less about his MC than expanding the cast ever more.
Kubo and assclass mangaka interview.
Why thou.

Oh look.
I found a Bleach MORPG on Byond.
Sweet.
>>154544739
if she didn't die Kenpachi would have stayed without his true strength and Zan name and everyone in SS would have died against Gremmy.
>>154551303
He saved Hitsugaya and Byakuya twice as well. Kenpachi and Unohana wasn't needed as much as everyone else believes since the Shinigami won their battles and Unohana wanted to die anyway after she got her wish.
am I the only one that would have liked Ishihime?
>>154548584
I like to think that Aizen loaths his Bankai, if that were possible.
Happy white day.
>>154553057
You, all the spiteshipping irfags and that one ishihime stan on tumblr.

Nah, it'll be something feral. hence the tsuba bearing similarity to Renjis tatoos
It'll be a yeti. Her Shikai will be a giant ice club, and her bankai will be a giant snowstorm while she's covered in fur, with an even bigger ice club

Seriously, why is this not a thing

Here are all the stickers from last year. There's even a sticker with both Kenpachi/Yachiru. The sticker with Ichigo/Rukia wasn't meant to be romantic or anything, it's just a sticker showing the two main characters. It's the same with the latest sticker.

The stuba is technically half of a manji/swastika. Just place another one on top but rotated 90 degrees to either direction, to see what I mean.

Do you have a guess for Kazui's release? Something having to do with swords and boards, maybe?
>>154557347
Kazui is literally everything Ichigo is + whatever Orihime is. The kid is a walking bomb if his powers aren't handled correctly.
>>154557505
He'll be overpowered but also the most pacifist. Ichigo has shades of someone who wont fight if not needed and of course Orihime doesn't fight.
>>154555590
This is an old drawing, but Murata did welcome Kubo back onto twitter back in November.
I wonder if Murata would ever draw anymore of the Bleach girls. I know he drew Rukia for one spread, but you can't really see her clearly.
>>154557694
I can see him using his soul pressure to just nail down anyone who gives him trouble and move on.
>>154560496
The way I see it, if there's a sequel, it will focus more on Ichika as she goes on and picks fights with whatever pisses her off. Meanwhile Kazui just tags along/gets dragged with her and he'll only help out when things get dangerous for her.

I wonder if it was the blind IR circlejerk or the sperging every time Hime got posted
>>154557347
Kazui's a whole different ballgame
he appears to be using his powers via fullbring, not as an actual shinigami. Remember that when Ichigo unlocked his fullbring's covering ability, it was a mock-shinigami robe.
Kazui probably has a sword name that ends with Getsu, but outside of that, very little could be estimated.
Don't forget, while his mother uses "shields" the actual root of her power is rejection, so it could go any way.
It's POSSIBLE that, since we saw the yhwach power disappear when he touched it, that his power is also rejection. Except instead of being within a shield, he just touches them.
He could likely go on for quite some time just thinking he can slice anything in two until he discovers he's literally rejecting the space between the "cut"
>>154542299
I like IH, but posting about it would derail the thread most of the time because of your sperging which was far from funny (seriously, look for help) and in the end it didn't worth it
>>154555675

There were plenty of IH shippers. We just weren't assholes about it like Porky was.

You get reincarnated back to Earth and lose all your memories.
Hueco Mundo is not an afterlife, it's a place where Hollows and their kin chill and relax. When a hollow (and I assume the same logic applies to Arrancar) is killed by a soul reaper, their soul(s) get sent to either Soul Society or Hell.
Kubo can suck a dick though, Hell only popped up once and was never mentioned again. And I don't count that shit non canon movie.
