If they indeed include the SK lore from the novels into the final cour which looks very likely since how much Kubo's hyping up the new content, I don't see the reason to adapt CFYOW. The reason it was necessary back then was to answer the important questions left hanging by the rushed ending.

Maybe we'll get a sample of the opening in the PV, I hope it's amazing because it will be the last Bleach opening and the last 3 openings haven't lived up to "Asterisk" "Alonez" or "Ranbu no Melody" which are the best of the OG anime.

Narita's a perfect fit for Bleach and Kubo's style and has enough experience writing series with a shitton of characters. Never got why this fandom hates him so much.
>>
>>281910027
Yes
>>
Imagine making a Naruto novel that explains some of the biggest mysteries of that story except the protagonist is fucking Kiba, it's also revealed he is secretly as powerful as a jinchuriki but he never used his real power when it mattered for some reason, also there's a reveal that one random ninja that died hundreds of chapters ago is a godly level threat.
That's Narita's fanfic.
>>
>>281910147
Sounds like the least retarded Naruto plotline.
>>
>>281910080
Yeah I saw his previous work (Durarara) and he knows how to handle having a shit ton of characters from multiple different factions, and make them work in CFYOW (The shinigamis, the royal family. the former Espadas, the Bambies, the Fullbringers, humans). But I can see one reason people salty about it since it doesn't have the main characters at all: Ichigo, Uryu, Orihime, Rukia, Renji, etc. It's purely world/lore building powered by the side characters
>>
>>281910147
>also there's a reveal that one random ninja that died hundreds of chapters ago is a godly level threat.
If you're talking about the Barragan thing. Wouldn't the more apporpiate comparison be Kakuzu being revealed to be a god-tier?
>>
>>281910147
It's not that hard to imagine when in One Piece nowadays, the best parts of the story are when luffy and his stupid crew aren't there. And naruto is such a shitty boring character

we already knew he was h4x though. he was the undisputed king of hueco mundo for ages until aizen with the hougoukyo came along and dominated him. and the thing that actually killed him was a guy that was aizen tier but only for making barriers coming along and turning his own h4x against him

It wouldn't have to be totally non-canon. For example you could probably rework Tokinada into a movie villain whose plan involves altering the past, resulting in Ichigo and co. traveling back in time to see what happened with the Soul King and the big noble houses. The events of the movie would come undone at the end when the timeline is restored so it wouldn't impact the overall story, but the information revealed would all be canon lore for some of the most important events in the Bleach world.

I'm pretty sure Kubo had already come up with the Ywach reveal when he had Aizen get cut off by Ichigo's dad, or at least he'd come up with the reveal that old man zangetsu actually reflected his quincy side.
that hollow ichigo really was the zanpakuto spirit of zangetsu and the old man was something else was probably already decided the minute Kubo had him start telling Ichigo "I'm Zangetsu"
>>
>>281911147
There's a funny part about that dialogue. In the released chapter it was "Because you are Shinigami and..." but the volume changed it to "Because you are Human and..."

Why the change? Did Kubo not want people to catch on so soon? Or did he fuck up somewhere? I have no clue.

They can add stuff to it like they are doing with TYBW anime. Also part of the reason I doubt CFYOW would actually get adapted is due to Kubo having a hateboner for Hisagi, if the protag was Kira id have considered it likely.

their wedding would be better suited to a special tacked onto the end of TYBW's airing period and/or added as a bonus feature to the blurays
>>
>>281910147
I find that better than modern Naruto and Dragonball. Narita would make Yamcha, Tien important as well as Raditz and Nappa. Ladd Russo walked so Grimmjow live. Toriyama is the only mangaka who can write.
>>
>>281911391
They're not gonna make a movie out of WDKALY, are you serious? That will be included in Cour 4. CFYOW isn't likely either, since that shit doesn't include the main characters and it's not Kubo's writing.

That's irrelevant, see Toshiyuki Morikawa voicing both Tosen and Isshin.

Don’t get your hopes up for a movie.
It just means they have the url being renewed automatically. Domains are registered on a yearly basis, and most registrars charge your payment method 30 days before the actual renewal date in order to give you a grace period to handle any declined/failed transactions before the domain expires. It prevents people from sniping domains for malicious purposes.

Kubo has a overcrowding character fetish. The Hell arc is going to be the same Ichigo's friends get clucked, Shinigami wank, and now more arrancar wank.
>>
>>281921498
At least bring back the cool Arrancar. Ulquiorra, Starrk, Barragan, Nnoitra. Not fucking Aaroniero.
>>
>>281921539
Nnoitra is lowkey confirmed.
Idk about Starrk
Ulquiorra is extremely low. I don't think Gin is coming back either.
>>
>>
>>281921663
Kubo basically said "I can neither confirm nor deny that" about Nnoitra when asked in Klub, but him responding to the question is an answer in of itself desu. Starrk makes sense since he died just like Nnoitra (to a Zanpakuto). Ulquiorra is an edge case due to the circumstances of his death but he's so popular it would be retarded to bring back more than three Arrancar (including Szayel) and not have this guy. Just handwave an explanation and move on; wouldn't be the first Kubo contradicted his lore. Gin definitely can come back, even though he didn't get a Captain's burial, since Rangiku put him to rest in the Rukongai but I believe RoS had it happen? So all of them seem fair game to, but it all depends on what Kubo wants. If Szayel is just a red herring and Hell will be all about the Old Gotei, I'll be really mad.

Also, the main culprits named by Szayel are Yhwach and Aizen (isn't he still alive? wtf did Kubo mean by this?). Gin is Captain-class (duh), so he can be there if Kubo wants him.

Bleach has suffers from power creep just like any other long-running battle shounen. It doesn't matter since all the Hell guys will be appropriately strong for whatever reason.
>As Nodt, Bambi or Mask can fold the entirety of the Espadas
Do I need to remind you who Grimmjow fought? Also, just ask the Shinigamifags about Sasakibe in SS lol

>>281922170
I'm not some fairweather supporter that only likes characters because I think they're the strongest then abandons them when they lose

>>281922083
Ulquiorra's death was the perfect end for his character, the only people who want him back are assmad shippers and fanboys that want confirmed that he was the strongest Espada (he wasn't)
It was all Narita's cope, Kubo doesn't give two shits about non-female arrancars that aren't Grimmjow
Bringing back Gin would involve a lot of romantic melodrama with Rangiku which Kubo already said he hates writing
>>
>>281922224
>The arrancars were actually popular
It was literally only Grimmjow and Ulquiorra who were popular, nobody gave a shit about Yammy or the literal who Byakuya killed, fuck off
>>
>>281922276
I want Ulqiorra to be back because I want him, while remaining deadpan and monotonous, to be having just an incredibly fun time in hell. not even in a masochistic way, it just suits him perfectly and since he doesn't obsess on nasty thoughts or try to escape he's allowed to just wander around freely and chill the fuck out
>>
>>281922240
>Do I need to remind you who Grimmjow fought?

Ulquiorra fits perfectly in Hell as a demon. His surname is literally Lu(Cifer). Kubo would be stupid to waste this opportunity.

Idk, they were relevant enough to be #22, #23 and #24 respectively in the most recent popularity poll, just as the TYBW was starting. There are only two Arrancar above them: Ulquiorra at #13 and Grimmjow at #7.

Ichigo sure but how Ichigo was handled in the first invasion was fine, everything after is just embarrassing.
The Shinigami were fine they weren't particularly stronger than Arrancar arc at the start of TYBW and Yhwach's existance works extremely well to give the Quincy a narrative reason to stomp Gotei 13. Yhwach being the son of God and having the medallions to distrubute his ability to steal powers to his subordinates is fine.
The problem is that the Sternritter power level, their ability to control reishi and in their own Reiatsu levels are too strong. Their faction could've easily been carried by techniques and technology based on Yhwach but instead they have all that + many of their members are just straight up stronger than the Shinigami which is ridiculous.

Squad Zero was one of the most useless additions to a story I've ever seen. They're supposed to be the super soul reapers that only come out when the Gotei get wiped out but then they job hard once they actually have to fight the Quincies (which makes Soi Fon retroactively correct in calling them all fraud). Oh but apparently the powerups that Ichigo Rukia and Renji got from them weren't trash so that's it was all worth it
>>
>>281925253
Yes.
The problem is that Bleach wasn’t supposed to go past Aizen. But Jump wanted more. And Kubo was particularly done with Bleach during tybw and quickly worked on something else in 2016 after the manga finished. He didn’t even know that the anime was ever going to adapt the last arc years after their decade ago discussion and forgot about it. Now that TV tokyo wants to revive IP’s, the story will be forced to continue. Expect a shit ton of retcons and bringing back the shinigami and arrancars to the forefront. Right now tybw is just a meh budget animation experiment to test the cour forumla and cgi for pierrot. Future Bleach content will be treated much better.
>>
>>281925434
Yeah but who wants charcters show up out of nowhere to show up characters you've liked for several years? Anyway, seems the fanbase are actually pretty warm to them despite the fact that they're boring and frauds.
>>
>>281925434
It's even worse when you remember that Rukia's powerup was a wash and she needed to be saved by Byakuya against a regular Sternritter.
>>
>>281925434
Who cares at this point, just get on with the hell arc. It's already much better than anything tybw shat out.

Squad 0 or the quincies may never be mentioned again outside of a footnote or name. And expect the return of Aizen as a big bad possibly, while Yhwach got one shotted by Ichigo's sociopathic son.
And if a movie happens, I doubt I'll be the novels.

Shippers and girls/women. Not a general audience, though.

Unironically would have been better than having it explained it Boruto

Besides, it works BECAUSE it's Hisagi. If you bothered to read it you'd know that. Hisagi is the one character able to meet with all these different factions and piece together the information because:
>he's a journalist, that's his divisions whole thing
>he's still influenced by what happened to Tousen and wants to learn the truth
>he doesn't stand out so much as to overshadow all the other big characters, which is how Narita tends to do things. In a world of superhumans, headless bikers, incest twins, Russian mafia and gang wars the protagonist is a mostly ordinary highschooler
>Hisagi himself is somewhat popular
>there are still unanswered questions about Hisagi himself, namely his bankai

How is it possible to be this retarded? I'm genuinely curious.

Do you seriously believe Bleach wasn't supposed to go past Aizen? So you think Kubo was perfectly happy ending the series having never expanded upon Isshin and Masaki? Having never revealed Kenpachi's zanpakutou? Having never revealed half the Gotei 13's Bankai? Having never shown the Soul King or Squad 0?
>>
>>281929677
>So you think Kubo was perfectly happy ending the series
NTA, but yes.
>>
>>281929724
thats just so nonsensical though?

for what reason would Kubo just decide that he wants to end the series leaving so many characters unresolved and unexplored? Why make up the concept of quincies and give them a history with the Soul Society just to do nothing with them? Obviously he had always planned to do something along the lines of TYBW

It’s undeniable that the soundtrack was handled way better before, and when it comes to the staff, it really feels like Taguchi lost all interest in Bleach. If I’m not mistaken, he even went off to direct a Digimon movie and an opening for another anime while cour 2 and 3 were still in production. Then they went and chose Murata as the new director, the guy behind some of the most mediocre episodes in TYBW. Pierrot is such a garbage studio it’s unreal, and I wouldn’t be surprised if that shitty Black Clover comes back with a better produced anime than cour 4

From fighting a Privaron Espada like Ichigo and Uryu to fighting inanimate objects alongside Ganju of all people. Thanks Kubo. Couldn't have made the poor bastard the one that wasn't Tsukishima'd and finally fought alongside Ichigo again in "his arc".

I wonder if Kubo originally for Tatsuki to be the human "fighter" of the group but decided against it because people would have just called it Ichigo's harem with Uryu and Renji on the side

>>281935911
Rereading the manga, Kubo does not like writing Ichigo’s friends. That last chapter and one shot pretends they don’t exist outside of maybe a panel or a speech bubble mention.
>>
>>281939148
Probably just what this anon said
>>281939449
Unless they pull a One Piece and have a new studio/remake of the earlier episodes, I doubt Kubo cares enough to ever change the way he treats Ichigo's actual group over the way he does the Shinigami Captains.
>>
>>281939546
They never felt like friends, it was fillers doing all the hard work for Kubo. The hell one shot which came out years later proved this again with not a single friend having good panel time or interacting with ichigo.
>>
>>281939043
>>281939148
>>281939449
I could have sworn there was an interview back in the day about how Kubo initially had plans to give each of Ichigo's friends/classmates a focus before going into the SS arc but it had to be cut short. Also not just Tatsuki, it really felt like Mizuiro was kinda being built up to have a significant role or at least be some special character but also really went nowhere. Maybe they'd have gotten to do some more stuff in the Fullbring arc, heck I wouldn't be surprised if they were gonna become one too, if he wasn't told by the higher ups to wrap up the arc fast and bring in the shinigami as soon as possible.

I don't remember which manga author said it but during an interview they said that the reason most shonen manga avoid romance is that once there's a hint of it that's all the fan base talks about.

I don't think people realize how much Ichigo and Rukia's interactions plummeted during the middle of the manga. After they split up in hueco mundo they have a grand total of 5 (count it FIVE) interactions for the rest of the manga, that's almost ten years of publication. They get really pissy when you say this but the anime fillers, Pierrot meddling and other outside sources is what carried IR during this time.

>>281945473
He is. Remember how Ulquiorra's backstory was relegated to a databook that some fans STILL don't know about? Like that Dbzimran guy admitted in his stupid Ulquiorra video I regret wasting my time watching he didn't know about it when he started "researching" his character (it's literally right in the wiki...)

How can a man be so narcissistic that he blames everyone but himself for the problem HE CREATES HIMSELF. Just stop making so many characters and kill some of the minor ones, for fuck's sake.

Not really, he doesn't treat her in any special way aside from thinking of her as helpless back in the HM arc; but he was thinking like that about Rukia and Chad too before though he got so earful about this and ended up trusting them, then in TYBW he also ended up trusting Orihime All three of them ended up being helpless right after, so it's not like his intuition was wrong.

I think people often forget he was a very emotional troubled teen due to all the stuff that was happening to him. No shit he never had time for romance, even during the time skip he was depressed from having half of his soul (Zangetsu) severed from him. Despite all that he definitely treated Orihime different, more softer and gentle, I don't ever recall him responding harshly to her outside of comedic moments and he was considerate of her feelings, she was the exception to his loud and brash interactions he had with everyone else and it wasn't him just being polite because she was a girl. Maybe not love but I can say she was special to him in a different way.

I keep getting mixed signals from anons and commenters. Did he submit to his publisher's demands or just do his own thing? I remember reading an interview asnwer that someone shared where he said he got chastized by an executive about how he treated his editor, something along the lines of, "you do realize he's not just the guy who picks up your manuscripts, right?" Did he just not care about his editor's opinion, but still followed the demands of people higher up than that? Or did he not care at all and is solely responsible for his own "decisions?"

We still have no clue if Kubo went back on killing Byakuya in TYBW because of editor/fan pressure, or it was a fake out all along. That bit about how he treated the editors with contempt is just his typical NPD stuff. For example, when it comes to the old anime he let his editor give them the directions & supervision, and he just gave them character designs and general guidelines for fillers, and checked the scripts for episodes overall, since he was so busy (I do believe him on that).

I don't believe there's a single confirmed instance of Kubo claiming "I wanted to do this, but editor vetoed" like some other mangakas have. He says that Grimjow was supposed to die but survived because of his popularity, but it could mean either that he was told not to do it, or that he himself decided to keep him upon seeing how beloved he got. So it's all speculation. Even for an often cited example of jumping to SS when there were a few more stories to tell in the wolrd of the living, Kubo insists it was his personal decision often fans will just say "editor made him do it" when they can't defend something like the Byakuya fake-out so they want to at least shift the blame away from the author; celebrity crush is a bitch

Compare that to Orihime, randomly disappearing with the explicitly bad guys, with Ukitake straight up telling Ichigo she might've died, and nobody backing Ichigo up despite his outrage. Yeah, no wonder he went right away after her. I don't get why people compare those two rescues, the context is completely different.

If you could actually see the deeper themes of those two rescues, you'd notice that Rukia's was a planned thing, as Kisuke explicitly tells him to not get cocky and commit suicide for Rukia's sake. Ichigo was willing to do that for Orihime, no if or buts, regardless of what anyone else said. It's true the circumstances are different, since Rukia had time, but don't try to downplay how important Orihime was to him.

I visit one of these every couple of days and it's the same shit with the same... 5 persons at most? Posting the same crap over and over. It's my trash reality tv dream.

Lmao, he doesn’t give a fuck about her. Him ending up with her in the end was clearly a retcon
>>
>>281944161
They definitely played it up a lot more, partly to have him match Ichigo's energy a bit more, and because Kubo established that bickering=bonding in his series, so they tried to force more of that to happen. But, it definitely isn't exclusive to the anime.
>>281944266
Sure, but the bumps seem more in Kubo's writing of Renji than him as a character. If his introduction didn't have him smiling like a psychopath as he continuously threatens Rukia, but kept him more "disappointed in her" or "regretful"/"resentful," then there wouldn't be most of the issues people habe with him, since he would be consistent with how he is depicted once we get to Soul Society.
>Forced
For me, it's less that if feels forced and more that it feels unearned. He has a natural chemistry with Rukia and represents a good portion of "home" for her in SS, but with all the development that she went through in the World of the Living with Ichigo and friends, it just feels wrong that she'd throw all that away to just stay "home" at the end of the SS arc (especially when the looming threat of Aizen is established right in front of her eyes). Then, Renji does nothing on-screen after that to demonstrate any progress in rebuilding his old relationship woth Rukia, let alone building a new one with a romantic outcome. Rukia never does anything for him either other than just quietly emotionally responding to his actions and attitudes (but, I can't remember any instances aft the SS arc where she does this). So, it not only feels unearned, but is feels unforced in the sense that there's no effort to even put them together (unlike Ichigo and Orihime, which has the plot contrive lots of moments to push them closer together); they just *are* close and...that's it. "Oh, and by the way, they have a child now! Isn't that nice?"

There should be a bleach storytime before the final cour to weed out the schizos, the last one was before cour 1 aired and stopped at TYBW. We should a full storytime now that the adaptation will be completed.

>>281948343
Well yeah, because Kubo wrote it that way. Don't try to justify this bullshit retroactively. It's selfish and pathetic. It's even worse how we never get a moment where she reflects on that shit. At least if you wanna show us the heroine sinking to such a low, at least tell us how she overcame it. She then gets scared again of Ichigo's horn with Yhwach. It's just retarded. How can the man who wrote such a good female deuteragonist like Rukia fumble the MC's love interest so fucking hard?

>keep romance out of shonen.
Unless you intend on it from the beginning and meaningfully work it into the development of your characters and plot development. That's the biggest issue with shounen writers in handling romance is they sideline it and barely handle it, then get upset when people start schizoing out and complaining about it. Either put it in like every other core element or leave it out. Dragon Ball (Z) is the only one that I can think of off the top of ny head that isn't a romance, but handles it incredibly well with muktiole generstions of characters falling in love, getting married, having kids and a family, and still being an awesome action anime with battles that people talk about more than anything else. Not sure why most other big shounen authors haven't been able to do anything similar since (that I can think of off-hand).
>>
>>281948266
And the anime version is ten times worse, holy shit. This bitch is definitely one of the worst heroines ever made in any kind of media. It was one of Kubo’s dumbest decisions to not sideline her, and he even goes and makes her Ichigo’s romantic partner, lmao
>>
>>281948517
I agree that the issue is that there's clearly potential for romance, but it never gets actualized, nor does it get denied.
>>
>>281948266
People shit on Sakura for telling Naruto to kill himself, or leading him on with that fake confession, but I genuinely think she's better written and more palatable than Orihime. Kubo tried so hard to make the fans pity her, but all he ended up doing is giving lots of reasons to hate her to average reader and especially watcher of Bleach.
>>
>>281948653
I think people hate Orihime even more than Sakura, and that just proves how badly written and completely uncharismatic she is, Naruto has way more fans than Bleach, and yet this bitch still gets way more hate
>>
All of this crying just because someone said Chad is Ichigo's best friend lol
>>
>>281945865
>potential
Yeah, even if they were never ever going to be romantic, he set up one of the best platonic relationships in modern manga history, and solidly the best in his own series, and he just...did nothing with it. Rukia only comes back into his life to yank on his pullcord and jumpstart him for the next arc or whatever, but other than that she'll just be there on the sidelines to acknowledge how awesome Ichigo is and how much she believes in him. And that's it.

I think I've seen a screenshot somewhere, but I don't know if I have a copy. So, I think it's real, but it seemed like the context was still the "platonic" category, which is confusing especially in English.

This is just the interpretation of the person responsible for the stuff you took screenshots of. Face it, Ichigo never cared about that bitch beyond being an annoying friend

He literally came back from the dead to protect her. Those are the only words Ichigo, barely conscious, says, while facing her. And Orihime gets it immediately that it's because of her. How can you believe she's just an annoying friend to him, is beyond me.

He is. He started posting in late 2023 - early 2024 I believe.

It was until Nemu happened. She had everything Orihime did (looks, feminine personality, damsel), but was more suited for Uryu, imo. She also seemed to really genuinely like him and not just as part of a ploy or because of instructions from her psychotic "father." And he really cared for her, too.
>>281946903
He spends a good portion of the rest of the series, especially the Hueco Mundo arc stoically simping for her by prioritizing her wellbeing over all the others and ensuring Ichigo did the same. He was clearly affected by her being genuinely nice to him.

>>281949462
Pretty sure the pronouns he used was they because the original Japanese he was only talking about protecting. Also it's look like he is about to kill her.

I know there's no pronoun for her in Japanese; you don't need one. He literally says "I (subject marker, emphasizing the "I" basically) save (in the infinitive)" in Japanese. But the context makes it clear he's protecting her. Are you one of those idiots who think this was Zangetsu talking to Ichigo or something?
>>
>>281947369
Thanks. I'll keep an eye/ear open for any actual confirmed instances, but I currently consider any confident claims regarding this to be assumption. Sounds like I'm making the roght choice.
>SS vs world of the living
It was always weird how he just went all in on the SS arc and almost completely abandoned all the substitute shinigami and hollow stuff afterwards.
>>
>>281950482
>and almost completely abandoned all the substitute shinigami and hollow stuff afterwards.
Bruh what. We literally had two arcs, one about Hollows, and one about the Substitute system, right after SS.

>>281950344
This discussion is ridiculous ! It's pretty clear that Ichigo got aphasia after becoming a Hollow, and can only repeat the last words he was thinking about. What is always taken out is how he was thinking about both Uryu and her when he transformed.
He's isn't saying he is going to protect because he members what he is supposed to do and is neither looking at her for that reason. He is a mindless animal that is about to kill her.
>>
>>281948035
>retcon
Nah. Just extremely poor execution. He may have had it in his head to have Ichigo and Orihime be together even during the prototype oneshot, but he poorly set up it and didn't deliver it in a satisfying way, except for a subset of hardcore Ichihime shippers and some passive casuals.
