Episode 44:『THE PERFECT CRIMSON』
>>290210513Bleach? Best animanga.
How did Aizen get even stronger while he was imprisoned in Muken?
any successorless episode is always 10/10
>>290210533built for a toshiro (shota) and toshiro (adult) spit roast.
>>290210513Pierrot cooked way too hard on the color direction this ep. That red/black palette with the old Bleach OST creeping back in felt like actual final arc kino instead of just another slideshow of named attacks.
>>290210555Hogyoku is still inside of him, retardo
>orihimefags are schizosmakes sense, only the mentally ill would like such a dull character
Ichigo's weird hollow transformation is honestly a perfect design for a bleach villain.
claim your favorite bleach characterLiltotto is mine, fuck you
>>290210584Then why is he still sexo Aizen-sama in TYBW instead of the disgusting monster thing he was when he fought FGT Ichigo
>>290210629Hogyoku likes ikemen, obviously.
cute and canon
>>290210605should have just reused this design, the single horn looks retarded
>>290210603You got warned already, but to be fair it's one Orihimefag.
>their reaction to ichiruki
>>290210651>all the major arrancar characters ended up dying>except for the girls since girls are too uwu sweet to die>only exception is grimmjowHe's swimming in pussy in HM, if he doesn't get any cute and canon at some point he's a faggot.
>>290210821grimmjow can only get hard if he's thinking about ichigo.
>>290210846How many characters have Ichigo and Orihime collectively cucked by choosing each other?
Auschwitz next episode?
>>290210821Let Kubo cook.
>>290210885>Riruka>Nel>GrimJoe>Ulq>Shishigawara>Shinji>Rukia if Rukiafags are to be believed>MakiMaki>Aizen>Yuzu
Grimmothy Joseph
>>290210885Ichigo cucked pretty much every male in Karakura High plus Chizuru, a large number of Shinigami who became enamored with Orihime during the last few days of the Ryoka invasion, Ulquiorra who was reaching out to her while dying and Shishigawara who became obsessed with her the second he met her.Orihime cucked Tatsuki who was obviously gunning for the childhood best friend position but lost badly, Yuzu who is weirdly incestuous towards Ichigo, Nel whose crush on Ichigo is completely one-sided, and Riruka who is tsundere for Ichigo.
>>290211090Is the skull on Nels head a hat or do those eye holes lead directly into her head? Like could you shove fingers into her head and would there be a brain?
>>290211090beautiful
>>290210821I would actually consider this a decent bit of writing, the reason not many main characters died in Soul Society is because the conflict was mainly between otherwise reasonable people and Aizen was playing both sides for fools.In Hueco Mundo/Fake Karakura the enemies were actual murderous psychos so the fights were to the death, Harribel, her fraccion and Grimmjow surviving was completely up to chance and they could have easily died, Loly and Menoly only lived because Orihime took pity on them.
>>290211195It's remnants of her Hollow mask. It's just on top of her head. No access to brain.
Just beat the story mode in Rebirth of Souls. Pretty fun game. Not too mechanically deep but at the same time, it’s not braindead like some anime games. Strikes a very good balance. If you haven’t played it yet I’d recommend it. Gonna hop online and get destroyed by people who have been playing over a year now kek
>>290211195It's her Hollow mask, all Arrancar have some bones hanging off their face/head.>>290211228Do we even know where her hole is?
>>290211204>Nelliel goes from green to blue somehowNnoitra lost
>>290210513>Ikkaku: "I have to hide my Bankai otherwise people will know that I have achieved it and promote me to captain!">Uses his Bankai, get's it irreperably damaged and almost died fighting one of Grimmjows fraccion LOL They made Tetsuzaemon Iba a captain over Ikkaku despite jim doing nothing the entire series but surviving until the end.
>>290211260Ikakku and Yumichika both have really stupid reasons for hiding their Bankai.
>>290211222>>290211228>>290211248Did Kenpanchi stab through Nnoitora's eye hole? It's basically just hollow all the way through? So then Nel's head holes are hollow and you can shove a finger into them? Fucking creepy!
>>290211248In fact, we do.
>>290211284KUBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
>>290211281You're mixing eyeholes on the mask and Hollow Holes. Nnoitra's Hollow Hole is in his head, Nel's isn't.
>>290211090>>290211284So Nels hollow hole is on her chest and she covers it with her clothes? He titties are ruined!
>>290211324The hole is *IN* her heart.
>>290211284>Kubo forgot to give Nel a hole>where is her hole, Kubo-sensei>uhh, in her The Heartu rike?
>>290211260my fuarking exister
>>290211367Kubo is too based for his own good
>>290211204Cute and canon
>>290211324>>290211343While Kubo said that "heart" (an orgran) is the location of her Hole, Hollow Holes usually go through the body, so it' same to assume that the hole is not literally in her heart, but at the general location of heart.>>290211367The Heart (心) and heartr (心臓) are different things.
>>290211281I wonder what the inside of a hollow hole feels like, if it's smooth like it looks or fleshy or what.
>>290211221That's an in-universe explanation though. We all know that the reason the girls survived is because they're girls. Literally ALL of Grimmjow's gang adn even Barragan's servants got genocided, but the Tres Bestias survived? fucking lamo
>>290211245Was gonna pick it up soon myself so I'm glad to hear that. Only ever played Heat The Soul 4/6/7 and the ps3 game
>>290211395>but at the general location of heartLmao no, he said that because he forgot to give her a hole while already showing the entirety of her body. He literally meant in her heart because it can only be on the inside at this point.
Best team. Best ship.
>>290211414Lol, I forgot about that back shot (how could I?). Point taken.
>>290211380
>>290211401Girls in Bleach generally don't fight to the death, another bit of good writting, most women simply cannot muster the physical and mental strength needed to fight to the death, it makes sense that they break down emotionally like Hinamori and Orihime, or just pussy out and hide until the war is over, the only women who fought to the death in the entire series were either autistic (Rukia), completely insane (Unohana) or under heavy duress (The Quincy hoe squad).
>>290210513Can I get a reminder what the von stern dick form does for quincies? It's not tied to their powers like how a bankai powers up a shikai's ability right?
>>290211426watch him just say it's a really small hole
>>290211414it's uhh... angled upwards so it exits nearer to her neck
>>290211221Hadn't really thought of it that way before
>>290211456That was my immediate thought, but you can't really see it on that back shot.Another possibility is that her hole is lateral and goes from armpit to armpit.
>>290211455It's a general powerup full of bullshit caveats just like Bankai or Resurreccion, it just has its own aesthetic which is cutesy wings made out of simple geometric shapes rather than the eldritch abominations Bankai tend to be or the body armor Resurreccion usually is.
>>290211445To think that Kubo was a misogynist hiding in plain sight the whole time...
>>290211443Not sure how Gin is misunderstood
>>290211480>Another possibility is that her hole is lateral and goes from armpit to armpit.
>>290211414He could have just said in her shoulder but no...
>>290211497it's reddit, just ignore
>>290211414if Kubo says it's in her heart that's because it was always in her heart you idiot.
>>290211488Recognizing behavioral patterns informed by evolutionary psychology is not "misogyny", it's just basic observation, the reason modern women are squishy and can't win a soccer match even against preteen boys is because of millions of years of guided evolution, the women who could tear a horse in half died off before the ice age ended, the ones who survived were the ones who sat back and let the men do stuff.
>>290211455- big buff / boost- sometimes new abilities to their schrifts- most of the time, wings for flight- enhanced sklaverei- sometimes a vollstanding can have multiple forms/phases, from simple generic wings to advanced named forms.
>>290211414right there innit
>>290210555I don't think Aizen could have defeated Squad Zero under the scenario he successfully defeats Ichigo and immediately travels to where the Soul King is. If anything, Ichigo saved Aizen's life by defeating him
Shinigami use their zanpakto to open a Senkaimon. Ichigo was teleported by the Zanpakto creator, and picked up by a Zanpakto (Mera).Opening a Senkaimon is just an innate ability of a Zanpakto. Like how the Hollows can instinctively open a Garganta. An Asauchi is made by stacking shinigami/hollow souls on top of one another. Zanpakuto (asauchi) are built like menos (gillian). It would be neat if layered-souls beings can open portals to their respective realms by default.
>>290211553You don't know anatomy, huh?
>>290211487>>290211523Thanks. It's been so long that I don't even really remember how much if at all Bankai changes the user. Like obviously it has to, but so much focus is placed on the sword or sbility. Byakuya vs Ichigo for example doesn't really make it seem like Byakuya himself is stronger, more durable, etc
>>290211090>Grimmjow you can stand a little closer you know>You don't have to steal glances either...
>>290211413You’re gonna love it. Only complaint I have is that the story only goes up to the end of Fake Karakura. But that makes sense I guess. Maybe they’ll do a DLC for TYBW later
>>290211445I think Hinamori would have been willing to kill Gin. Ofc she couldn’t, but willing, yeah. Also Harribel and Nel don’t hold back. I think Lisa and Hyori as well. Could probably think of a few more examples but you’re right for the most part.
>>290211611probably save it for a sequel or rerelease after the anime is finished
Who here loves Momo Hinamori!?
>>290211661>Harribel and Nel don’t hold backwtf yeah they do. Nnoitra permanently mutilated Nel and she still wouldn't kill him.
euro hours are so comfy
>>290211705everyone
>RTH
>>290211705Did she ever apologize for being so mindraped by Aizen that she was willing to fight Toshiro over it?
>victim blaming
>>290211713Nel was going to kill him before she was transformed back into her baby form.
>>290211741Don't think so. Why would she?
>>290211705Does HitsuGAYa have the balls to ask her on a date
>>290211757No, she wasn't.
>>290211763Because she ended up siding with the bad guy against her friend?
>>290211799And? He wasn't (and still isn't) bad in her mind.
>>290211741She did apologize for that behavior not on screen but it's mentioned in her short story with Shinji when they first met and yeah Momo's cute, she's done very well this entire arc playing medic and trying to swing on Bambi and Gerald, too bad that the anime cut out her casually burning several soldats to death to save Omeadameanwhile Soi Fon looks even worse, because Gerald knocked her out before she even got to fire her bankai and she stayed down, through at least in the anime we know the only reason Rukia and Renji are up and about again is because Hinamori healed them rather than them somehow being tougher than Soi Fon Right now Hinamori's job is to heal the vizards, while Hanataro's job is to heal the vice captains shot by Lilli, Meanwhile Ikkaku and Yumichika were never injured so I have no idea why they're running around doing nothing, if they aren't joining the battle they should at least go help the injuried, we know Yumichika knows healing kido and Ikkaku has healing cream in his shikai. right now the ones down and out are The vizardsIsaneSoi FonOmeadaHisagiMayuriYuushiroUraharaYorouchiNel and Grimmjow will still be conscious so we'll likely see them again in a new scene killing the soldats guarding Harribels chamber
>>290211782After fighting The Miracle, probably
>>290211819NTA but it's not about Aizen at all. She tried to kill Toshiro. The least she could do is say sorry.
>>290211825Well it's good that she did that then. >>290211819If this were true, it would be even more insane after he made her get speared by a bunch of captains in addition to everything else.
>>290211799>>290211819Sorry, it's all irrelevant. She did apologise.>>290211825>She did apologize for that behavior not on screenIt was on screen. She apologised personally in chapter 224.
>>290211825Bot.
>>290211832why do people think he has romantic feelings for her? He sees her as his sister, I'm going to assume this is the first anime's doing
>>290211878Come plap the bot out of me honey, give me bot correction.
>>290211875No prob
>>290211883Well I was just making a joke in reply to that anon about surviving Gerard
>>290211445It's the exact opposite. Girls avoid fighting, but when they do, they're more ruthless than men.
I miss Yuzu
>>290211906you dont pass clanker
Anyone got that one panel of Uryu screaming?
Why do people simp for the femritters so hard even through they're self admitted murder whores? Bambi using that guy for sex and immediately killing him didn't cause an argument because of what she did but because she did it in a communal area, implying the rest of them fuck boys and murder them in the privacy of their bedrooms, I thought people didn't like shameless sluts yet people can't get enough of these 5
>>290211968many are saying this
>>290212007Nobody cares about quicies.
>>290212007>Why?Good designs.Masochistic submissive behaviour.
>>290212007Even Ichigo is concerned for their wellbeing
>>290211497How is he not misunderstood?
>>290212007>>290212041they're girls
>>290212007because they're high-quality women and that's a rarity by itself
>>290211883There was a chart in a novel saying so. I think there's other arguments their shippers make but I don't know.
>>290212059Well can you explain? I don't understand, who is misunderstanding what about Gin?
WTF yachiru is kenpachi's zanpakutou??
>>290212087The chart says "Concerned/cares about her". This doesn't imply anything romantic.
>>290212087>>290212123Correction. As the arrow points both ways, it says "They're concerned/care about each other". Still no romantic implications.
>>290212113WHAT!!?
>>290212087Wish I could read this whole thing. Arrows in both directions imply the feelings mutual, right? I notice that Ulqiorra has the same color line as Hitsu and Momo and Gin and Rangiku but his arrow only points from him to Orihime
Did they have to make Orihime's eye form a heart when Ichigo reassured her like that? Like we get it, she's fucking hot for this guy and she'd be bouncing on it if he asked, this is getting ridiculous
How do I look like this?
>>290212173it's just a pupil, don't be weird
>>290212146>I notice that Ulqiorra has the same color lineIf you take the direction of the arrow into account, it says "Made him understand what "The Heart" is".
>>290212176Diet, exercises, white hair dye
>>290212176I can't even remmeber what that one movie about the other guy with Hyōrinmaru was about. Why were there 2 Hyōrinmaru users if it's supposed to be Toshiro's soul?
>Hitsugaya's entire character for the first 400 chapters was about Hinamori>they never interact since>Hitsugaya keeps getting all these fights but having no arc or personality anymore, just there for fanserviceIn a way, he's been treated the worst out of all the OG captains post-TS despite having a lot of screentime. Genryusai, Soi Fon, Unohana, Byakuya, Kommamura, Kyoraku, Kenpachi, Mayuri, Ukitake: when they get focus chapters it's about something, Hitsugaya is a perfect void.
>>290212087Is she serving time for trying to rape Orihime or what?
>>290212282watching Chizuru scissor Orihime
>>290212087>Rukia has a crush on Kaien>Renji isn't even friend-zonedTalk about settling
>>290211090I appreciate this a lot
>>290212173>Did they have to make Orihime's eye form a heart when Ichigo reassured her like that??
>>290212087is that official?
>>290212361well duh you made it
>>290212097It should be pretty obvious considering how much Gin makes everyone here seethe
>>290212367I didn't. Funnily enough I was thinking of making something like that though, but with scenes where it's just Grimmjow and Nel on the screen.
>>290212087
>>290212007Why are you forcing Bambi’s craziness on the others?
>>290212364Dawww
>>290211443Nnoitra is actually the most misunderstood.
>>290211445>he conveniently ignored Nemu, Senjumaru, Kirio, Yoruichi, Halibel, Loly, Cirucci, Soifon, Rangiku, the Hell arc Captains, and Tres Bestia fighting to the death There’s zero chance you’ve read the series
Can you fuck off? Oh my god bro, every goddamn time
>>290212383>but with scenes where it's just Grimmjow and Nel on the screen.? That's literally what that collage is.
>>290212383You could make it again because you missed some shots of them like the one in the ending.
Can't stop sniffing Rukia's sweaty fundoshi...
>>290212173Yes.>>290212407Cute. Hot.
>>290212442No, I'm talking about scenes like picrel. Some of the images in the collage are from scenes where other characters are also present.
>>290212407Say thank you to AI-kun.
>>290212476Aside from picrel I believe that collage include literally every scene you're looking for.
>>290212507Re-reading what I wrote, I realize I forgot an additional "just". I would make a collage with just the scenes where it's just Grimmjow and Nel.
>>290212494meant for >>290212146
>>290212494Kon is Nee-chan pilled
>>290212234i shoot just finished watching itthey never explain why
>>290212472Can you mastrubate and stup do this shit already
>>290212494Arigatou gozaimasu
hello sirs
>>290212476why she bends over for Grimmjow?
>>290212087funny that even on this yoruichi and urahara are kept ambiguous
>why she bends over for Grimmjow?good morning sirs
if kisuke so smart how he let aizen get him kicked out
>>290212603because aizen is smarter
>>290212603Hollow aids. He never saw it coming
>>290212603he was too busy plowing Yoruichi, Soi Fon and Hiyori.
Renji x Rukia soon
>>290212561He is one of the most attractive male characters in Bleach.
>>290212561because he's stronger
grimmjow? pegged by nel.
>>290212472
>>290212660Cute & Canon
>>290212494Very random fact
>>290212494Periodical reminder that this isn't canon and has nothing to do with Kubo. It's entirely some editor's ad hoc headcanon that they printed for a convention.
>>290212855This is correct, that's why it doesn't make sense. Like Rukia is Renji's most important relationship, shipping aside, there should 100% be a line between them. Yoruichi and Urahara’s line isn't there either.
>>290212855I guees, but most of it is just stating shit that happened (visoreds hollowfied, Rukia gave Ichigo powers, Soifon admires Yoru)
>>290212930Renji's gay for Byakuya, and Rukia only has eyes for Kaien. They got married for appearances. Deal with it.
>>290212855They printed it for the manga's 10th anniversary and then Kubo approved its inclusion in the Spirits Are Forever With You novels, which is where that image is from, since you can see the edit stitch. There's nothing headcanon-y about it at all, it just describes the relationships in the manga between different characters.
>>290212007>Why do people simp for the femritters so hard even through they're self admitted murder whores?I genuinely don't knowunironically the bambitches + the zombie troon are my least fav of the sternritter
>>290213065Fuck, I stand corrected then. I hate canon so much...
>>290213210what's so bad about it? at a glance it just looks like a basic rundown. i guess people could fight over ulquiorra's line being pink?
>>290213275If it's about the stupid shipping wars, this chart marks Rukia and Ichigo as "Friends".
>>290211825Why would there be soldiers guarding Harribel?
This entire arc is just a reminder of why BLEACH is superior to the others in this big 3.
>>290213065How do you know Kubo approved it's inclusion though? From what I recall, the only involvement Kubo had with SAFWY is drawing the illustrations and coming up with the title. I would put it down to a decision made by the editorial department.

>>290212561>>290212684Samefaggot replying to itself.
>>290213679Do you seriously think an editor would put an image marking relationships between characters in a novel bearing Kubo's name without him having a say in it? It was also modified compared to the original chart from Harajuku, though this was probably handled by editors and not Kubo. For example, Momo had a white unmarked one-sided line with Aizen, while the SAFWY chart added a pink one-sided line marked as "admiration" It also corrected blatant mistakes, like making Gin <-> Rangiku reciprocated instead of one-sided from Rangiku's side, which I don't know how you could believe that if you paid attention to the manga. Same deal with Momo <-> Toshiro, which was one-sided initially.
>>290213819Shippers are completely deranged subhumans. Every writer should start their story with spoiling eventual canon pairings that might or might not happen in their lifetimes simply to get rid of the trash.
>>290213882The first two posts are the HOAD and the deathberry.com meltdown, but web.archive.org seems to be down atm.
>Kubo said Ichigo and Rukia are like Wendy and Peter PanDoes he realize Wendy had a crush on Peter in the original novel by Barrie? She does get rejected, but this is a funny comparison.
>>290212365No, Kubo never said the chart was correct. There were mistakes that they edited later, but they made new mistakes again
>>290213979In the movie too, that Indian girl gets the hot for Peter, and Wendy gets jelly.
>>290214013Tinker Bell also gets jealous. Ichigo only ever got "jealous" of Shinji, if you can even call it that, given the circumstances. Meanwhile, Orihime was explicitly jealous of Rukia kek
>people thought ichiruki had any chance after the pilot
>They are definitely not loverst. Kubo
>>290213979Don't forget like Nobita and Doraemon too, lol
>>290214076Pilot =/= Bleach
>>290211090they surely are standing next to each other, and sometimes far away from each other
>>290214119ichiruki =/= canon
>>290214135>canon is what makes a ship goodIshygddt
>>290213858>Do you seriously think an editor would put an image marking relationships between characters in a novel bearing Kubo's name without him having a say in it? you finally get itDatabooks, Fanbooks, all that crap is 99% done without the original authors supervision.
>Renji! Catch your wife!
>>290213858Then, how about Renji and Rukia's, and Urahara and Yorouchi's relationships? Where are their lines? What are they? Why Kubo would want to keep them a secret?
>>290214112Yeah Kubo is out of his mind. Neither of those relationships are like ichigos and rukias.
>>290213882As if that would stop them.
>>290214170There's no proof of that at all. In fact, there are many statements from the man himself that run contrary to your claim. Plus, you can't compare tens to hundreds of pages of text to a single image, especially given the context. Kubo absolutely cares about how the relationships between his characters are depicted a lot. Otherwise. he wouldn't have asked Pierrot to remove his credits from Hell Verse because the screenwritter lost the script he discussed with her all day and the staff made something else that was too different. Or, more relevantly, when he straight up requested the staff of the 2018 live-action to not change the distance and relationships between the characters from what they were in the original work.Plus, even if somehow all of this was handled by editors, it's not like they are some nobodies. They are aware of the story and Kubo's intentions, as they literally work alongside him and discuss it. That frequently circulated image about Rukia being a comrade and Orihime the heroine comes from one, relaying Kubo's intent, not from Kubo himself.>>290214233>Why Kubo would want to keep them a secret?Probably for the same reason he said "not going to confirm nor deny" that one time when asked if he wants to make Ichigo and Rukia a couple. He's not gonna spoil his endgames in 2011/2012. And Urahara and Yoruichi's relationship was going to be explored in TYBW, Kubo explicitly said it in an interview back then. He just never delivered.
>Rukia is at least 60 yo.>Ichigo has zero interest in older women (+30 yo).Huh...
>>290212007>why like bad people Anon, they are fictional
>>290212007Do you know how many foids simp for Aizen, Grimmjow, Ulquiorra, etc.? Also >>290214626>1
>>290214400>He's not gonna spoil his endgames in 2011/2012Orihime has a frienship line at Ichigo and another one with "she loves him" or something like that. Ichigo and Rukia's have a frienship line too.Why couldn't Renji and Rukia have a line saying "childhood friends? The fact that Renji and Rukia don't have a relationship line in that chart is even more suspicious than they having just a friendship line. It raises suspicions that if they were going to put a line in that chart would be a double arrow line with "romantic love" or "lovers".
>>290214777>Why couldn't Renji and Rukia have a line saying "childhood friends?Probably because it would be like Gin and Rangiku's. Pink and mutual. Thereby doing exactly what I said. But this is just speculation. The chart doesn't need to be exhaustive, but it does mark some pretty irrelevant relationships, like Toshiro's friendship with Jidanbo or Mizuho's gag crush on Ikkaku, making me believe they were intentionally omitted for whatever reason.
can you imagine if you're married with a daughter and some guy dated your daughter but ended up taking your wife away from you and impregnated her. causing a horrible divorce and now not only don't you realize your wife has been insanely unfaithful, your daughter also doesn't love you anymore as well and everything falls back to zero even though you just turned 40

>>290212007>self admitted murder whoresCandice is not a murderer
>>290212603Urahara and Aizen are just about on par. Think of it as a battle between two grandmasters. You’re gonna win some and lose some. Aizen’s key advantage is how ridiculously powerful he is however
>>290211798Misremembered that. Wow that’s pretty retarded on her part.
>>290215159She is both a whore and a murderer.
What chapters will the next episode cover? Any leaks yet?
>>290214974You guys still discussing this ?! It's obviously Kubo isn't going to change shit, and is obviously his original plan was to make IR a thing. Can we just move one ?!
Can anyone explain to me why the fuck is he alive? are we also going to have a filler episode were these nobodies fight fodder hollows?
>>290215769>is obviously his original plan was to make IR a thing.At all, even the pilot chapter was Ichihime.
>>290216042So much IH as it was IR. Look Kubo is obviously played both teams, even I blind person can see that
>>290216203Tell me a single IR moment in the pilot.
>>290214974It's interesting how easily you expose yourself as a zoomer newfag.
>>290215799>Can anyone explain to me why the fuck is he alive?Who? Okikiba? Whay shouldn't he be alive, he's a Lieutenant. Imoyama? He couldn't convince his Zanpakutou to go SHikai, so he stayed out of combat. Maki-Maki? He's just that cool.>are we also going to have a filler episode were these nobodies fight fodder hollows?I doubt that it will be an entire episode, but yeah, at least a fiew scenes of them.
>Kubo: For Rukia, Ichigo is someone who leads her into a different world, and for him, she is the person who changed his world too. I wanted their relationship to be based on the role each plays in the other's life, rather than a simple classification!The heart of Bleach forever. I love how it's always about them, and their soulmatism because that's what they are. They don't have a romantic bond, they don't have a familial one, they don't have one based solely on being comrades, it's something completely unique to them only. And it's the bond Kubo and everyone else clearly cares about the most.
>>290216497>and everyone elseWho are those
>>290216349Now say it again, but without crying.
Friendly reminder...
>no mention of ichihime or renruki in this new interviewlmao its funny how no one cares about the endgames
>>290216706You're the one crying about an agegap between two fictional characters.
>>290216872>>290214411
>>290216906Irrelevant to what I've said.
Hold on I think I know what will happen with the last Auswählen > Lille is still alive bc he cant be killed> Gerald is the same> the femritters> and haschwalthall of them will get killed at the same time so its less retarded than the manga
>>290216727Given the state of Bleach, or even anime fandoms in general these days, this is more relevant than ever.>>290216735Because he was talking to Ichigo and Orihime's seiyuus, you dingus.
>AGE GAPS ARE BADichigos parents have one lol
>>290217146Ichigo and Rukia's* Freudian slip, my bad
>>290217146You mean Rukia, dingus. And why does that matter? The VAs can't talk about their love interests or something?
>>290212007>why people wanna have le sekusu with pretty womyn me dun understand
>>290212234Pierrot writers aren't very smart and treat zanpakuto as spirits of nature that just attach to a zanpakuto rather than being the personification of your own talents
>>290212234It was a fanservice movie because Toshiro was really popular at the time, don't think about it too hard.
>>290216429>OkikibaThe pic related heavily implied he died, also we never see him really DO anything outside of filler so why even keep him alive? at least other guys have meme value,
>>290217562Kyoraku promoted him to his lieutenant afterward.
>>290217464The dual Zanpakuto was Kubo's idea.
>>290217652Anon Kubo got asked about Ichibe accidentaly naming two zanpakuto Hyorinmaru and he told the fan in question to separate the movie fanfic from canon
>>290210513The future Commander of the Gotei 13 is so cool...
>>290217562This scene wasn't anime-only.
when did hell did bleach get so many shipfags in these threads? no wonder they're so terrible and autistic.
>>290217741Anon, that's completely irrelevant. I'm literally telling you the dual Zanpakuto idea, alongside the design and vague history of Sojiro Kusaka came from Kubo. You clearly are a newfag and have no idea what I'm talking about. Look up the The DiamondDust Rebellion Movie Guide before you speak so you won't act like a clueless idiot next time.
>no successor this episodeI sleep
How long until leaks of episode 45? Nobody knows what additions it will have, the episode title is new with poem by Ichigo and Orihime. Considering the manga the jobbing is almost there, I really hope we get to see a satisfying fight with massive additions fellow BleaChads.
>>290217856>he wasnt here for the final chapterkek /a/ was seething
>>290217849My bad, forgot about.
>>290214170I agree
>>290217760Go to bed momo
>>290216497He didn’t care enough to have them do anything special together in the last arc. The very same arc that showed two other characters meeting and saving each other just like they did, only they did fall in love.
>>290210629He was mewing and looksmaxxing
Fuck you, you indian piece of shit. Get the fuck out the bleach threads.
>>290217562He appeared both in the prologue and Hell Arc oneshot..

>>290217915My uncle works at studio Pierrot and told me the rest of the cour it's gonna be about the fight with Gerard.
>>290218677>>290218707Kubo really said fuck Ichiruki by taking this poem that's clearly about their fated meeting and making it about Ichihime instead
>>290218831is this your new cope, diaperooni?
>>290218677>>290218880So the poem of EPisode 45 was originally about Ichigo and Rukia (not romantic of course), and Kubo turned into an IchiHime thing?LMAO
Any meltdowns because of the poem?
I would watch an entire spinoff about the adventures of Byakuya and Hitsugaya's older brother.
I just finished the manga. I remember hearing that people disliked the final arc and the ending (for shipping shit) Is that still the case now?
>>290219481just the insane IR autismos
>>290219481People got soured on the arc way earlier. The first invasion was very popular, but it was all downhill from there with a few exceptions.
>>290219481As someone who hates IchiRuki I'll say the manga ending was disappointing back then. The final fight was rushed and the ending didn't tell what happened with a lot of characters. Nowadays I already moved on and accepted it for what it is, but back then I was a bit bitter about how it ended.
>>290219481>and the ending (for shipping shit)there's plenty to dislike about the execution of the ending that's completely unrelated to who shacked up with who
>>290212280>Komamura

>>290220233nah, next episode is more successor shit
>>290220233more cute and canon couple moments are coming
>>290220233>>290220533They could make it the "main cast" episode split between Yhwach, Hashwalt and statues fight with a hopeful feel until it all goes off the rails.
>>290220233It's gonna cover part of Lille's fight I think.
>>290220698Are we really doing it? He appears in the opening, but contrary to all the other enemies, gets no versus scenes, also nothing in the trailer, I don't believe it'll get any proper focus.
>>290220860Well, if they wouldn't have plan to do anything with him they wouldn't have included the flamingos. The trailers didn't show everything either, so they're not indicative of anything.Mind you, I don't think it's gonna be an episode dedicated to him or anything, more like small scenes of his fight spread around many episodes.
>>290220945>>290220945Not everything but has anything been completely skipped? I think everything until Aizen welcoming Yhwach is represented. Also, wasn't there something about trailer covering the first six episodes? That would mean Yhwach will already Auschwitz all of them by that point.
>>290218677The verb used here for "crush destiny" is actually "shatter", like in "shatter, KS"

Holy kek shitter is fun as fuck for once, ichirukicucks are having strokes left and right for Morita and Kubo laughing at the idea of IR and comparing Ichigo and Rukia relationship to Nobita and Doraemon lmaoGod I can't wait for the final episode of the anime to see a brand new wave of tears for Kazui and Ichika
>>290218677It's funny cause in both their respective sand/rotator chapters, ichigo/rukia had orihime/renji pining after them, but it was one-sided. We might see that in the anime, where orihime loves ichigo, but he's oblivious to it as rukia enters the story and reunites with ichigo.
>>290220233Those 2 poems/phrases could be both said by Ichigo, he has said both things in the manga, "I want power to protect" " I feel powerless". Orihime only said she wanted to go to Soul Society to protect Ichigo, and not asking for power really. And which one is for Ichigo and which for Orihime?
I’m not even a shipper but the idea that Rukia had a kid with the super jobber is kinda fucked up. ANYONE would’ve been a better choice The dude was jobbing in front of his daughter.
Today I will remind them.
>>290223150Yoruichi and Toshiro for the jar
>>290222655>renji pining after them, but it was one-sidedNo, it wasn't one-sided. Renji was going to finally going to talk to Rukia because he was going to be a vice-captain and now he had the status to do it. Rukia and him could finally have a romantic relationship.
>>290220233It's going to be Renji and Rukia defending Ichigo and Orihime
>>290223221It wasn't about relationships. They mended their bond but they still didn't get together for years. Renji just wanted her back as a friend at that point.
>>290223043at least he can finally afford hair plugs now
>>290223297No, Renji wanted a romantic relationship with her and he had to have her same social status to get it. People don't really realize that Renji and Rukia have a story of lovers separated by social class, and they couldn't be together until Renji was appointed vice-captain.
>>290223527Renji isn't faggy enough to do that.
>>290223150>Funkopop titsWhat an age we live in
>>290223198is aizen top or bottom for ichigo?
Aizenfujos are pretty annoying, and I like Aizen a lot.
>>290223952You’re telling me you never once had a little fantasy about Aizen having his way with you?
>>290212007I know she is a whore but she is my wife you bitch!
>>290224164All of Gigi's thick sperm belongs to Candice.
>>290212007they cover all bases
Absolutely kino fucking episode, can't wait for Aizen fight.
you guys told me for a decade how much Kubo regretted ending the manga the way he did yet nothing has been changedeverything is a mirror adaption to the last detailwe got lost in translation or you were lying all along?because so far Kubo's perfect vision was always like this afaik
>>290224400That was just a rumor. The anime only content is just filler to fill in runtime from the staff. The manga is the real canon and Kubo was fine with it.
>>290224400It was said some details were gonna differ from the manga, not that they were gonna change the entire thing.
My favorite thing this arc is seeing quincies get mindbroken. They're always fun to watch when they lose their cool
>>290223221Then why didn’t they get together after the soul society arc?

>>290224832blud really can't stop narrating someone tying their shoelace now can he?
>>290225110Kubo wouldnt...
>>290224400the change will likely be that gerard only loses a portion of his power with the auschwallen. never made any sense he died since his power is independent from yuha to begin with. besides time has made gerard kind of iconic so its fine if he lives.
Ichigo married Renji and Rukia married Orihime in the manga, is the anime really that different?
>>290224400There's not enough manga chapters to fill 3 episodes and we still have 6 left so something is gonna happen.
>>2902255171 full episode of showing ichigos bankai potential before it gets snapped1 full episode of aizen vs yhwachtieing up loose ends such as gerard and lillefinal 3 episodes can just be filling in final fight and epilogue
>>290225677>>290225517Aizen is definitely episode 6.

Does Yammy Riyalgo come back to clap Gerard Valkyrie? Please tell me Yammy comes back as the ultimate counter to Gerard's power doing his part to help save the three worlds. That would be peak kino. With their similar powers, they'd both tear each other apart, and then regenerate, growing bigger and stronger. Absolute peak battle in my head.

>>290230134Kubo loves humiliating them. Besides Hachigen's victory over Barragan, they've taken nonstop losses since the past. Shinji himself was beaten by Aizen, Bambietta and Gerard in a row without being granted a single win.
>>290230134When were Vizards ever allowed to look good? Shinji got destroyed by Bambi, Love and Rose got destroyed by Stark and Kensei is a punching bag for every minor villain that shows up.

>>290229625>Hell arcIt was said in June. August is ending. How could they know about it so far in advance? I'm starting to think it was fake news.
>>290224803Because they didn't want to reveal it. Even in the Bleach relationship chart they didn't put any line to classify their relationship, so the reason IS clear
>>290230131You probably mean in shonen because boy, romcoms have worse than this to spare. But in battle shonen? Sakura. She got thoroughly humiliated and her marriage was exposed as a sham even in a gaiden manga that was supposedly about her daughter, and that was after she "won". Also this >>290230209, but SNK's entire finale was such a shitshow that I can't even tell if she got it worse than Eren. Holy shit, what a fucking dumpster fire.
>>290223751But they don't. They were friends separated by social class. They only became lovers later.
>>290230604>load 549 images
>>290231068Not him, but are you retarded? If they started out as lovers there wouldn't be story to tell between them. From their flashback and Renji's fight witb Byakuya, it's obvious that they have liked each other for a long time, and the thing holding Renji back from confessing was that he didn't feel "worthy" of her yet after she became a noble.
>>290211443I thought Quilge Opie was the most likeable Sternritter
>>290229864>>290229984Holy aura.
>>290213784>>290213791Bro...
>>290231144No, if they were lovers and then broke off, there could absolutely be a story. Later Renji became "worthy" but still didn't comfess. And it's not like he was shy, Kubo doesn't hide crushes, look at Orihime. Even when we see internal monologues, there's nothing about love. He just wasn't interested in her in that way yet. RenRuki is best buds turned lovers story.
>>290224031I'm not Hinamori or Loly, so no.
>>290224985Yoruichifags won hard.
>>290231606>Kubo doesn't hide crushesLol, Orihime is the only one that Kubo put clear romantic feelings. The rest of romance in Bleach was always subtle.Why reason do youy think they didn't put a line for Renji and Rukia's relationship in the chart?
>>290230604I don't even like Orihime or IchiHime that much, but that was 100% deserved lmao.
>>290210651>>290210821>>290211090remimnder that Kubo confirmed that Hollows/ Arrancars can in fact reproduce with each other and posess all the biological parts necessary for that
>>290231786Nice. That means Nell can carry as many of Ichigo's babies as she wants.
>>290231144>and the thing holding Renji back from confessing was that he didn't feel "worthy" of her yet after she became a noble.No, it wasn't a question of feeling worthy. Renji didn't had the social status to interact with her. Don't you remember Izuru telling Renji that he shouldn't approach her or will be bad for both of them, Renji, and Rukia too? And plus, Izuru saying that Rukia already knew that she was in a different place than them, and thus she didn't approach Renji either. Can nobles of the 4 great families to have friendships with people of Renji's status? Can they have romanctic relationships with them? Those are the questions. People should ask this on Klub outside.I think they were already a couple at the academy, and when Rukia was adopted they both knew that if Rukia accepted the adoption they weren't going to be able to continue their romantic relationship, so Rukia was really disappointed when Renji cheered her up to accept the adoption.
>>290231700Gin very clearly loves Rangiku, as he said in his poem, and the same can be said about Rangiku, Renji's determination to be with Rukia also makes sense when you understand Japanese feudal norms, and that you don't have to be on equal standing with a noble to be just friends, but you have to be in order to marry them.
>>290231786Grimmjow and Nelliel will have a cute blue haired daughter in the hell arc confirmed.
>>290212087soo, Aizen actually cucked Hitsugaya?
>>290231858>>290231860This plot was always forced as fuck and never made any sense. Izuru is from lesser nobility and is also a Lieutenant when he says that to Renji. If not even he can interact with Rukia, how does it make sense that Renji post-promotion could? Kubo really drudged up some contrived melodrama to justify this mediocre ship while forgetting about meaningful things, like showing Rukia is anywhere near as devoted/in love to Renji as he was with her.
>>290225369In the anime the four of them will marry Gerard.
why is askinn in vollständig weaker than without?
>>290210513Zaraki's bankai is so underwhelming.
>>290211260They said squad 12 fixed it in secret. So pretty much everyone knows he has bankai.Anyway, the point was that he was experienced and had a mature bankai and with empty captain seats he would get promoted, at least that's what Renji implied.
>>290212280Ukitake got the worst of it. Only captain not to get a proper fight, didn't use bankai and in the manga he dies one chapter after releasing Mimiplotdevice. At least Hitsugaya gets to have fights and even fought the 3rd Espada after initially we were led to believe he barely beat a fraccion. I think in the end, us western fans hated him more than he deserved because we knew he topped the popularity charts.
>>290210513Kubo won. Bleach won.
>>290232322he got axed by his publisher despite being a top 3 all-time shonen manga. definition of a loser.
>>290232322Kubo did win.
>>290232211>They said squad 12 fixed it in secret.Source?
>>290232322naruto lost
>>290232160I want a harem of cute, feisty pinkhaired twintail girls.
>>290232344Kubo won. Seethe, cope and dilate.
>>290232357Mayuri mentions it to Ichigo after the first invasion when talking about broken Bankai.
>>290232278Still, Ukitake's death has a point, it's a decent conclusion to his character even if overall he had too little screentime. For Hitsugaya after the Arrancar arc, all his scenes are devoid of any substance, they're pure fanservice. The only real arc he ever had was about Hinamori and Aizen, but he never even interacts with them after the timeskip, and he never gets anything new. Hisagi getting mad on Tosen's behalf when training with Kensei and Mashiro shows more petsonality than Hitsugaya does in the last 260 chapters of the manga despite Hitsugaya getting 4 fights or something like that in that timespan (not counting the one he was mind-controlled in). Also, him fighting Harribel equally after needing help to beat Luppi and no major training arc in-between was bullshit.
>>290232357When they talk about it in the first cour after the first invasion.
>Ichigo is the New Moon and Orihime is his Sun.>Rukia is the White Moon and Renji is the monkey trying to catch her reflection in the water.
>>290232390>>290232398Right, I forgot. Poor Ikkaku. Not only he never had a serious win in the entire series beside that one time he beat a teenager, who broke his Shikai btw, but now the reason he never wanted to become a Captain in the first place is known by most people in Soul Society. I guess it was nice seeing him spar with Ichika...?
>>290232395>devoid of any substance, they're pure fanserviceWelcome to Bleach. Kenpachi Zaraki was an outstanding fighter and now he's reduced as just "strong guy that just rushes in". Byakuya is the same as Hitsugaya, he has a few scene where he's tsundere for Renji, Rukia and implied tsunderism for Ichigo and that's it. You have characters like Komamura that actually get substance but most just show off new cool forms after a while. Even with the extended anime only episode you get very little glimpse into Ukitake and at the end of the day, no screen time is still no screen time, only way extended screen time is worse is if you get humiliated like the vizards.
>>290232417what does this make Kazui and Ichika?
>>290232429It's blown out of proportions, he's just not captain level and even captain level captains got bodied. He did get two wins in the series which is more than 75% of the cast and that teenager could've broken the main antagonist's sword too with his power since he does break his guard.
>>290232395>Still, Ukitake's death has a point, it's a decent conclusion to his character even if overall he had too little screentime.You have to be kidding me. One of the oldest Captains in Soul Society, Shunsui's friend, one of Rukia's mentors alongside Kaien and also a shady guy given the badge incident, goes out like this as a plot device? Not to mention the Mimihagi shit came straight out of Kubo's ass and never did anything in the manga.
Why was fake karakura so heavily censored?
>>290231700You have plenty of other crushes throughout the series, directly confirmed, read the manga before replying to me again. Renji and Ichigo don't have a line either in that chart despite being close friends. Or with Ikkaku despite being master and student. So what? Are they both his secret lovers as well? Not to mention your argument rests on a contradiction, on one hand RenRuki was obviously romantic, but on the other Kubo scanned extra material to hide it.
>>290232495Censoring got out of control in the late 00s to mid 2010s, all anime suffered heavily from it but it was more notable for Bleach because it was pretty bloody at the starts and got hit by massive censorship when they switched to hd while the others were simply not that bloody from the start.
>>290232495I think she can't have kids anymore
>>290232495The entire OG anime is heavily censored even in its early episodes.
>>290232434Byakuya still has a moment of begging Ichigo to save Soul Society and recognizing Rukia's strength. Even his "learning the thrill of the battle" thing from Tsukishima fight is better than anything Hitsugaya gets in the last two arcs. Kenpachi gets his resolution with Unohana and Yachiru.>>290232489And there's still more substance to it than anything Hitsugaya got after the Arrancar arc is the point.
>>290232522Not nearly as much as fake karakura though. Even the blood was blacked out at times. It was particularly jarring because the espada arc was pretty gruesome at times. The only only egregious censorship i remember from the espada arc was when Szayelaporro used his technique to crush organs. In the manga Uyru was vomiting a bunch of blood. In the anime he threw up what looked to be just water lol but most of it was still there. Like Tosen cutting off Grimmjow’s arm, number 9 espada (forgot his name) stabbing his lance through Rukia, etc.
>>290232522Arrancar arc forward is way worse than early Bleach/SS. Remember the black blood?
>>290232495The Arrancar arc was when Kubo started to use more gore on his fight scenes and as such it had to be heavily censored due to the timeslot the anime was placed, which is why you have censoring as dumb such as pic related even though it's not an explicit scene.I'm not one to want a fullblown remake of the old anime, but I wouldn't mind one of the Arrancar arc just to have it animated with the explicit injuries as it should.
>>290212280he got development in the movie...
>>290212494>Ulquiorra Cipher>Ulquior Racipher>Ulquior LucipherFALLEN ANGEL ULQUIOR, OMG KUBO I KNEEL
>>290232624They should do something like the Initial D battle stage ovas and remake select fights & scenes.
>>290232495I’m so happy TYBW anime is pretty much 1:1. Hell in some cases it’s even more violent than the manga.
>>290232632You're over a decade late to the party, anon. Everyone and their mother realized his surname is a reference to Luifer, especially when you compared the katakana. His release made that plenty clear already.
Kenpachi's Bankai was a massive letdown. Even his Shikai was bigger hype.You know what. Just keep in him sealed mode without the eyepatch. That should be enough.
>>290232574>>290232579>>290232624I am so glad the old anime didn't adapt the TYBW arc, because there's no way they wouldn't have completely butchered the Pernida fight with how gory it is.
>>290232632hell arc CONFIRMED
>>290232652I would like that. My personal dream is a remake movie of the entire full final fight against Ulquiorra with the quality of the small fight scene of the start of the Hell movie. I would cream myself if something like that happens one day.
>>290232667At the time I was sad that Bleach was cancelled. But yeah in retrospect it was a blessing in disguise. There’s no way this much love, effort, accuracy and attention to detail would have been put into TYBW a decade ago. Also I doubt Kubo was in the headspace to create all this additional content either.
>>290232660nta but i always just assumed it was from cipher/chiffre too. is it more obvious in the japanese?
>>290232662Kenpachi has always just been unga bunga. What exactly would you do for his Bankai?
>>290232730Cipher is written as サイファーLucifer is written as ルシファーUlquiorra's surname of Cifer is シファーYou literally just remove the first kana and you get his surname. Same deal in English, where the first syllable is all you need to remove.Shiffer also is generally written as シッファー or シュフィア with a geminate consonant for the "ff" sound, but that is easily dismissed since it's just VIZ's localization and Ulquiorra's surname has always been written as Cifer in Japanese media
>>290232799>Post 444 of the threadNice.
>>290232568>Byakuya still has a moment of begging Ichigo to save Soul SocietyHumiliation.
>>290232741Inspired by both Yamamoto's teachings and his fight with Nnoitra, Zaraki starts growing extra arms to improve his grip on Nozarashi - the handle grows to accommodate more hands of course. 1 hand < 2 hands < 3 hands < ... < N hands, the amount grows as the fight continues, power growing exponentially
>>290232741Something that's not lamer than his shikai.
Friendly reminder that Hierro is superior to Blut Vene since you didn't need to manually activate it since it's just passive defense
>>290232515I can fix that
>>290232741I think he'll stay unga bunga. Deep down he was always nameless butcher/monster going after strong people like a slasher villain. He is true to himself already.
>>290232741He wasn't full on unga bunga.
>Chad now needs Renji's help to deal with the fucking statuesstop the humiliation..
>>290233179He can’t even perform any kido.
>>290232704>Also I doubt Kubo was in the headspace to create all this additional content either.The additional content in my opinion has been pretty shit desu. The quincy backstories don't really interest me as most of them are not really well fleshed out characters regardless, the vaizard scenes were just a humiliation ritual and the human world shit with the apprentice shinigamis feels tacked on. I assume that the final fight with the boss quincy will be at least a bit better than the shitshow from the manga
>>290233335Kido is for weaklings who can't swing a sword with both hands.
anime fullbring and tybw are the best bleach content sorry
>>290232667>>290232704>>290233342kill yourself diaper
>>290233342What did you think of the original Gotei 13 reveal? Or the extended Zero Squad stuff, like Senjumaru’s Bankai? Or Uyru vs Renji? Idk man I loved most the new shit
>>290231860>Gin very clearly loves RangikuGin and Rangiku's story is made in a subtle way too. Very different to Orihime saying that she likes Ichigo since chapter 2, and directly confessing his love for him later. Or Riruka clearly blushing because she finds Ichigo handsome, or Keigo's sister saying she likes Ikkaku because she likes bald men.
>>290232417Rukia is a star for Renji, A Star and A Stray Dog, the moon is Byakuya.
Renji and Rukia still got the worst end of the stick because Byakuya was made to be a nice guy so them ending up together is sort of like checking off a box, "I guess" type of writing
>>290233455NTA but you can just dismiss them as infatuation. Similar with Shishigawara and Orihime. Or Nelliel and Ichigo.
>>290233445I think the designs for the original Gotei were good, but they didn't really do anything that affected the story. Didn't really like the zero squad stuff, but it might be more because of how the whole zero squad was just written out of the story. And while the Uryu vs Renji looked nice, I can't help but think of it as a filler fight because there's nothing really at stake because of how Ishida was winging it. That's kinda a problem in general with Ishida's fights because you know that he isn't killing any of his friends and is just pretending, so it might look flashy, but in the end he'll just walk away from the fight
>>290233041Thats a pretty cool concept. But Kenpachi isn’t supposed to be that complex while fighting
>>290233445stop replying to diaper schizo spam
>>290233536To be honest with you, I have no idea who diaper is. I lost track of /a/ personalities/namefags ages ago.
>>290233041I don't think they ever used this outside of his fight with Nnoitera
>>290232512>Renji and Ichigo don't have a line either in that chart despite being close friends. Or with IkkakuIchigo or Ikkaku aren't Renji's most important relationship nor the center and motivation of his story. That is Rukia. If you omit the most important relationship of Renji in that chart, what sense can have?Renji and Rukia's relationship being romantic is not on your face, it's subtle, especially from Rukia's side, you have to have reading comprehension enough to get it.

>>290233342>The quincy backstoriesThere weren't any in the anime that weren't in the manga already.>the vaizard scenes were just a humiliation ritual It was just an expansion of the small fight they have with Gerard in the manga, we all know they were gonna lose>the human world shit with the apprentice shinigamis feels tacked onThis one I agree, but mostly because I would have preferred them to fight the flamingos rather than random hollows.
>>290233491What do you want to say?
>>290233677Didn't they expand on J the Jail to make him their weapons instructor or something
>>290233726That was something Kubo revealed in his fanclub, nothing about Quilge's background was revealed in the anime, it was the same than in the manga.
>>290233609Which is quite funny - they got rid of his bells rather quickly (although I admit their handicap was rather silly), and now characters only point out the status of his eyepatch - but never do you hear anybody say "omg Kenpachi's gone all serious like, he's holding his sword in two hands!"
>>290233577Just ignore the guy who says "its X schizo" since its just his way of shutting down Bleach discussion in general by labelling random discussions as being from a schizo so that people stop replying. The "real" diaper schizo is someone who just likes to spam how much TYBW flopped and how no one cares about Bleach, its why usually within the first few posts of a Bleach thread, there's a post like "please care about Bleach" to mock the dude.
>>290233864This is true, the guy who's always talking about how TYBW "flopped" is no doubt diaper retard who wants to infect Bleach threads with his shit. That being said, the Orihime poster seems to be real, though I wouldn't be surprised if it's diaper's doing too to shit on his personally made boogeyman and shit the threads even more.
>>290233864>usually within the first few posts of a Bleach thread, there's a post like "please care about Bleach" to mock the dudeAre you saying that is the russian guy or it's someone mocking the russian guy by spamming that in bleach threads? Either way it's annoying and people should post more Yuushiro and Gerard instead
I've been checking reactions and the amount of autists who didn't get the older brother joke is concerning.
The Reich and Yhwach are the good guys btw
>>290231945>Izuru is from lesser nobility and is also a Lieutenant when he says that to Renji. If not even he can interact with RukiaIzuru is not the one who wants to interact with Rukia. And that scene of chapter 144 probably happens when Renji has just joined the gotei 13 after graduating from th academy. Izuru wasn't a vice-captain by then, and probably became one many years later.
>>290233577shut the fuck diaper
>>290233935>the Orihime poster seems to be realI haven't seen him post a single Orihime
>>290233935While im sure the Orihimeschizo does exist and has shitposted a lot in the past, I believe he's probably mellowed down now since the TYBW anime is giving Orihime some new scenes that make her look good. If nothing else, it doesn't make sense for him to shit on scenes like Orihime rejecting Yhwach's reiatsu.
>>290234183I hope you're lying.
>>290233614>Ichigo or Ikkaku aren't Renji's most important relationship nor the center and motivation of his story.They're still ommitted despite being no less than many included options. Renji just got the short end of the stick on the chart in general.>Renji and Rukia's relationship being romantic is not on your face, it's subtle, especially from Rukia's side, you have to have reading comprehension enough to get it.No, it's just non-existent until late in the manga. RenRuki were just friends for most of the story. You can insert romantic undertones into any close relationship like shippers have always been doing.
>>290233935>>290234496>>290234500The orihimeschizo literally had a melty a few hours ago in the thread
>>290234852>Renji just got the short end of the stick on the chart in general.That chart was revised to be included in the novels, they changed things and added lines, so no. The fact that Renji didn't have a line with Rukia, her most important relationship, was made on purpose.>You can insert romantic undertones into any close relationship Renji and Rukia's relationship has romantic undertones, and in Renji's case is pretty evident. If they didn't put a romantic line from Renji towards Rukia is because their romantic feelings were, indeed, mutual and they or Kubo didn't want to clearly reveal it until the end.
>>290235120>still arguing about the chartKubo was straight up asked by an English-speaker on his old Twitter if he made the chart, and he basically said no, and also called it the Harajuku chart, even though it was printed in SAFWY two years earlier. Which implies he didn't care much about it and wasn't overtly concerned with its existence, let alone its changes from exhibition to novel.https://jin115.com/archives/52009816.html
>>290211705Best girl (true)
>>290235393>and he basically said noIn that answer Kubo only said that it was on display at the Harajuku festival. And why wouldn't Kubo care about what a chart can reveal about the relationships of his characters in his series? Even more if later it appears again in a novel, and Kubo does review the novels.He didn't made it but he must have reviewed it. The staff who made the chart weren't going to make the same mistake twice of forgetting Renji's most important relationship. Plus, Renji is a main character.That doesn't make sense.
>>290235393>and also called it the Harajuku chart, even though it was printed in SAFWY two years earlier.The chart appeared first at the Harajuku event, in 2011 for the Bleach 10th anniversary, and later, in 2012, was included in the novels.
>>290235393This is what Kubo said:原宿でイベントやったときに会場に貼られてたキャラ相関図だね>This is the character relationship chart that was posted at the venue during the event in Harajuku.
>>290235623Except the version that user posted is the SAFWY one. You imply he reviewed it but he used its original designation and couldn't even care to take a closer look to notice it was the version he supposedly approved two years ago.Plus, when we conclude Kubo's involvement was minimal, we can safely dismiss it completely as meaningful for its entire purpose; telling us what kind of relationship certain characters have with each other. Even movies like Fade to Black have more merit than this lol>>290235768I was talking about the date. The tweet is from 2014.>>290235807Irrelevant.
>>290235393>>290235807>Kubo, did you make this chart, yes or no?>gives a non-answerI see this is how he's always acted and Klub or old age didn't make him an asshole.
>>290232741The Bankai itself is fine, he just needs to master it to not kill himself midway.
>>290235836>You imply he reviewed it but he used its original designation and couldn't even care to take a closer look to notice it was the version he supposedly approved two years ago.Anon, Kubo admitted he forgot about characters like Ginrei (which really shows how much he cares about the noble houses lore kek) and regularly colors the eyes of minor characters wrong, such as Yuzu, Ichika and most recently Yushiro. I agree with you it's likely he didn't make it since Japanese is context-based and his answer pretty much implies that, but I don't believe he didn't review the chart.
>>290235885That's how people in entertainment business act. They can't burn bridges, at most and best Kubo can say: please distinguish other works from manga - which he said many times.
Who gives a fuck about some chart from a billion years ago?
>>290236006It's not even about burning bridges, since disavowing the chart wouldn't hurt SAFWY's marketability. Kubo has also decanonized the movies but in a>please view this as parallel canonnot>I had nothing to do with this, it's trashthough he came REALLY close to outright stating the latter with Hell Verse, and for pretty justified reasons, I might add
>>290235836>couldn't even care to take a closer look to noticeThis is nonsense, the charts are very similar, and is basically the same chart but with some changes.>Even movies like Fade to Black have more merit than this? The only relationship that movie clarified was Ichigo and Rukia's, because Kubo himself said they didn't have romantic feelings for each other. Which appear in the chart too.Sorry, I don't believe that chart didn't put Renji's most important relationship because they "forget it" twice.
>>290235070rent free
>>290236175I'm not arguing about the chart forgetting Renji's relationship with Rukia, though I don't think that's impossible to forget due to incompetence. But that Kubo had close to nothing to do with it, so discussing it is pointless in terms of the validity of its information. It's like taking Zanpakuto Rebellion filler into account for powerscaling or understanding Bleach mechanics just because Kubo provided the character designs.
>>290235070The guy who got banned was the one who kept accusing random posts as being from "Orihimeschizo" though.
>>290236373If you search up the images of those posts you will see that it is indeed the Orihimeschizo.
