Today is Aizen's birthday.
>we will never see his bankai
All according to keikaku

Bleach was so bad it couldn't even use its best villain correctly.
Why is he so dreamy?

thanks!
>>157819711
>>157820042
the art is a bit wonky and it wouldn't hurt to speak chinese lol.
>>157820042
it was four or five years ago.
>>157820095
everything is pretty new to me, I wasn't even into anime 4-5 years ago. But I really liked the artstyle of the bleach manga.

january actually*
Aizen did nothing wrong.
I miss aizen bros. will the sadness ever stop?;_;
Happy birthday keikaku man
May the next year you spend in chair be extra comfy
>>157821102
I miss bleach as a whole. I wouldn't mind reading another 100 chapters, regardless of the quality of the manga. Just miss having it being my daily routine.
>>157821206
do you think aizen sama has grown to love his chair?
>>157821334
Let's see
>In your life as a mangaka, what has been your happiest moment?
>Kubo: when I was in Germany and a seminude, beautiful woman hugged me. A cosplayer.
>>157821577
how did he not kill himself?
>>157817770
Obviously his bankai is 4th wall breaking and it's what sliced Kubo's shoulder off.
>>157821534
Will Kubo go back to being a mangaka when he heals up?
>>157821534
will we get the last arc animated?
>>157822177
is that a yes?
>>157822177
Dubs say yes
>>157822210
is that a yes?
>>157822238
mysterious as ever
>>157822228
amen to that
>>157821534
Bleach is ok.
>>157821534
do you have bankai
>>157824367
Yhwach broke al bankais in the future.
>>157817770
We've already seen it anon, and he made us all forget.
That's how strong xXxAizen2005xXx is !
>>157821534
Will Shuhei's bankai be cool?
>>157821534
>>157821534
should i go to bed aizen nii-sama
>>157821534
Will you appear in the novel aside from the prologue?
Every year we have the joke of "new season announced", all acording to tite kubo's keikaku
>In your life as a mangaka, what has been your happiest moment?
>Kubo: when I was in Germany and a seminude, beautiful woman hugged me. A cosplayer.
>>157825406
Gotta learn japanese, no question about it now.
New interview.

Reminder that Aizen did nothing wrong
>>157825607
thanks for sharing
>>157825406
>Kubo has Zelda
>Togashi has Dragon Quest
>Miura has Idolmaster
They should just give up the mangaka life and start a Let's Play series together
>>157825607
only the first 2 pages
>>157821534
Will I transcend and become one with 2D and reunite with my waifu?
It's been almost a year since bleach ended and I'm still mad about all the unanswered questions and deus ex ending. He spent the best part of a year hyping up Ichigo's training with the Zero Squad and then he doesn't even use his powers.
I will always be mad
>>157825640
I like this but Kubo really dropped the ball. When ichigo first went to soul society you saw the poverty stricken environment- as if Kubo was leading up to a story about some kind of forceful change that would happen in soul society.
It partly happened with the Rukia rescue arc; it discussed the importance of ignoring some rules or laws that are immoral.
That was also the introduction of the series villain, Aizen.
When Aizen is defeated he yells something along the lines of "That is a loser's reasoning! A winner has to speak not of the world as it is, but of the world it should be!"
This pretty much captures his entire purpose.
Of course Kubo completely ignores these intricacies and never delves deeply into the flaws of soul society.
>>157826668
>Be an absolute saint in life
>Die
>Get promised the most amazing afterlife by random swordwielding maniacs
>Have to live in Edo-period slums
>Only chance i have to escape is if i happened to be born with talent for soul magic bullshit
>Only option is to stay poor and die (how the fuck does that even work) or to go be a soldier and fight monsters until death
Soul society is the worst heaven
>>157826500
>dubs
What does this mean? Yes?
What went so right with bleach?
>>157826622
>>157826668
Read the novels.
>>157826832
The Cental 46 member named Nayura bacame friends with Kira.
She started reforms which conciderably bettered Rukongai citizens' lives.
>>157827412
>The Cental 46 member named Nayura
Wait, didn't Aizen kill the entire Central 46?
>>157821534
Will I ever get over crippling anxiety?
>>157827352
Are they any good? Also, where can I read them?
>>157827352
Give me a summary of the novels, thanks.
Was Toshiro's aging in the war arc after the petals broke the thing that broke the /a/utism machine?
>>157817702
what age demographic is bleach aimed at?
was it 15 year olds or 14 year olds?
>>157827478
It's about the daughter of a member who inherited her father's title and position.
It's in the 13Blades book.
>>157827352
The fact that they had to use novels to explain part of the shit that remained unexplained at the end, that alone already speaks ill of the quality of Kubo's writing.
>>157827931
I'm not being a Kubo fanboy, but do you think these novels would exist if he didn't give a damn about bleach? I know, this could also mean that he's not the best writer, but don't you feel that the novels are rather proofs, that he just HAD TO skip certain things?
>>157827931
>>157828214
Honestly, i wouldn't complain even if he had stopped giving a fuck after the whole Fullbringer arc fiasco and how the editors forced him to bring the Shinigami back.I also think he gave up after editorial pressure to bring back Byakuya but i'm going full conspiracy modo here desu.
The shinigami were the best bad guys.
The show went to shit the moment they became the good guys
>>157821534
I the professor say yes?.
>>157828402
Well yeah, at this point I feel bittersweet about bleach. The ss arc was without a doubt my favourite, (also got me into reading the manga), I liked the charachter designs, but the story was a rollercoaster.
I'm rather glad though, that the shinigami came back, fullbringer was not that bad, but I know I would have dropped bleach eventually if the story were to go on with them.
>>157828526
>I'm rather glad though, that the shinigami came back, fullbringer was not that bad, but I know I would have dropped bleach eventually if the story were to go on with them.
I think it was obvious we'd see the Shinigami at some point, but them coming in and saving the day with 1 on 1 fights was so forced that i was actually rooting for the fullbringers. I still think that the chapters from when Tsukishima started his insertion into Ichigo's life and had everyone think he was crazy, up to Ginjo's betrayals are some of my favorites in the series.
Finished reading Bleach not too long ago, but can someone explain to me what happened with the soul king in the end?
They made it sound like world collapses when soul king dies, going as far as having the ill captain sacrifice to try and take up the position, but then the old quincy guy just gets fucked and no one takes up the spot while the world keeps running.
>>157828748
yeah Tsukishima was pretty badass. On those one on one fights, I didn't really think too much about it. I was like " welp, it's shonen". And yeah come to think of it, since ichigo was fighting to get his shinigami powers back, it was clear that the show wouldn't go on with the fullbringers.
Should we rewrite the last arc?
>>157829044
How?
>Orihime didn't end up with Chizuru.
I'm. Still. Mad!
>>157829159
>Ichigo didn't end up with that fuckboi Shinigami he met after the timeskip
I liked that colored page they had at least.
>>157829382
Kubo really gave the impression that the boy was going to play some kind of important role.
>>157828885
Yhwach absorbed him. Later when Yhwach died, Ichibei used his corpse to make a new SK, because the amount of reiatsu was immense.
>>157829536
The kid is the brother of Rikichi-the retard from 6th division who helped Renji in the ss arc.
>>157829749
>the retard from 6th division who helped Renji in the ss arc.
A whole clan of gays then?
>>157828214
No, it just means that he knows he dun goofed and is trying to save face, while also making some cash now that Bleach hasn't completely faded out.
>>157821534
Will Kubo kill himself?
>>157829796
And his partner is Ikkaku's sister. She is listed as Shino Madarame.
>>157829841
Pls no.
>>157829829
I can understand the aspect of making money, but after all that (alleged) fight and struggle with the editorial stuff, and how the whole creation of the manga pretty much cost his health, do you think he'd care that much about plotholes?
>aizen wasn't allowed to talk to ichigo.
fuck you urahara
>>157831058
Do you really think it's smart to allow keikaku master Aizen to even look at Ichigo knowing what he's capable of?
>>157826500
>>157822177
Dubs mean he planned to not answer your questions.
>>157831058
What do you mean? Aizen talked to Ichigo when they fought Yhwh.
>>157831607
Prologue of the cfyow novel.
>>157831224
Yeah, he could steal his heart.
>>157825406
>no plans for new manga
Goddammit kubo, get off your ass and make bleach 2 or a zombiepowder remake.
>>157833198
what do japanese see in live action or rock musical?! I'll never understand it..
>>157833285
The first musical was comfy.
>>157831975
Please calm your thirst.
>>157834537
I cant
So what's up with the revival of bleach threads? Is anything new going to happen? I thought the manga got aborted.
>>157835171
nostalgia
>>157835171
New novel and interview.
Live action movie next year, maybe new anime too.
>>157835171
new novels , kubo interviews etc.
>>157829687
Where is this shown? I swear nothing like that was in the comic unless I was missing chapters.
>>157835388
maybe they'll anime the quincy arc?
It'll be a fun trainwreck
>>157835617
how similar is little witch academia to bleach?
look like a ripoff?
>>157835555
"Can't fear your own world" novel
Prologue chapter.
>>157835701
>giant guardians
>it is possible the SK was also a giant
Makes me think.
anyone get the feeling we're going to get more Bleach? the novels are giving off the vibe of a nee series or arc
>>157836068
are the novels good? where can you read them?
>>157836357
there's a girl on tumblr who translates them, I don't recall her username but I'll try to find the link
the novel's are pretty good I think, but mostly because they answer some of the questions that were never addressed by Kubo in the manga
>>157836821
Thanks a lot! Since these are novels, I guess there aren't too much drawings in them?
Kazui and Ichika series when?
>>157836899
We do Knot Always love you had illustrations. The new one is not in paper format yet, but soon will be.
>>157836899

>shinigami instantly job en masse to gerard
>vizard show up
>"hey they might not job for once"
>job instantly
>its icefag, kenpachi and byakuya who save the day
>again
>>157821534
Are the Shinigami good guys?
>>157821534
Is everything according to keikaku?
Has the Hisagi novel been translated? Thanks
How do people feel about Aizens ability being used in the manga?
I've always wondered how someone could make an illusionist character without them just doing asspulls or saying "Nu uh, you didn't hit me."
What if aizen never had a bankai and we just thought he did?
