Jackson Walker

Alexander Brooks
>Renji offering his meat for her >Her eyes still on Ichigo I'm just gonna say that if Rukia did have romantic feelings for Ichigo, she'd rather back down for Orihime's sake - and so that she wouldn't "disturb" Ichigo's human life any more. He would grow old and die relatively soon too.
It would've made a far better, bittersweet romance story than IchiHime though. muh contrast
Adam Russell
What is Nii-sama's expression trying to convey?
Matthew Cruz
>>Renji offering his meat for her >>Her eyes still on Ichigo What kind of fucking headcanon?
Owen Miller
Getsuga Tenshou is manly as fuck. If you hate Getsugas you're literally a fag.
Aaron Moore
The only one he has, constipation.
David Wright
Nothing. However, he doesn't want Renji getting too forward with his little sister.
Austin Reed
>Her eyes still on Ichigo Go get your eyes checked asap.
Josiah Jones
the reason renji was jobber after soul society arc was because byakuya broke his bankai. I used to think he was just shit, but now I really get it. It's really sad.
Christian Green
What kind of arcane bullshit will Aizen get up to next?
Carson Hernandez
...
Lincoln Johnson
so basically aizen didn't have a bankai, because he never needed one aye?
Ethan Adams
this guy is the manliest and he didn't have any powers
Carter Perez
i miss bleach
Asher Sullivan
>ywn see Yachiru ride on Kenpachi's shoulder again
Samuel Perry
she wasn't a person. Kenpachi is just like stark, his soul split and gave him a loli
Brody Rodriguez
It's weird, when Kubo gave Kenpachi actual powers he seemed to become weaker.
Chase Johnson
>ywn be with your inner loli why even live?
Kayden Wilson
Im so happy I'm finally off this god awful ride
I think Bleach might be the worst thing I've ever read to completion
Hunter Brown
>>Her eyes still on Ichigo hey man whatever helps u cope bruh
Dylan Cruz
I can't be the only one that actually liked this form???
Anthony Carter
post the ride
Eli Phillips
I liked Fullbring until SS showed up. Even then I still liked it a little.
Luis Wilson
Kenpachi can't be beaten with brute strength, so it wasn't fair the way he lost in the quincy arc. ''Ywach'' just beat him up.
Andrew Wright
Oh please, Bleach had 4 good arcs and 2 bad arcs in the series.
Naruto on the other hand relied WAY too much on it's part 2 to a point of it's own detriment.
William Jenkins
Isn't Ichigo in the foreground there? I forget
Oliver Lee
>I think Bleach might be the worst thing I've ever read to completion You must not read a lot then.
I like that the musical agrees with this, they always cast the most handsome actors to play him.
Leo Cruz
If you think Bleach is better than Naruto at this point you are a lost cause.
Austin Sanders
the final was bad, but the ride itself was funny enough
>we wont have more "kubooo"
its a little sad, honestly
Hunter Baker
Approval.
Cos if it's disapproval, Renji would have been disposed of in no time.
Michael Phillips
I generally don't stick to terrible works under a false belief that it'll all be worth it in the end. Kubo rused me pretty hard.
Bentley Sanders
How did they put Aizen back in the chair?
Lincoln Jenkins
Bleach had six arcs? Substitute Shinigami, Soul Society, Aizen arc, Fullbring, Blood War, and...?
Asher Green
He is.
Grayson Diaz
>Renji visits 11th division barracks, brings Ichika >Kenpachi puts her on his shoulder DO IT KUBO
Levi Bennett
>>Renji visits 11th division barracks, brings Ichika >>Kenpachi puts her on his shoulder >DO IT KUBO
Ichika would definitely get along with Kenpachi and Ikkaku. She seems like a spunky kid.
David Gonzalez
I honestly feel like Kubo is the only manga artist (from the top of my head) that really made me respect them as an artist rather than a storyteller. Kubo's character designs are the best in WSJ, there I said it
Lucas Stewart
>kenpachi meeting kazui for the first time and wanting to fight him literally never
Caleb Myers
Inspired by Ichigo, Aizen's heart grew three sizes that day and he willingly sat like a good boy for the rest of eternity.
Andrew Russell
She would bully Toshiro.
Ian Peterson
the aizen arc is splitted in 2, mexico and fake karakura
Benjamin Roberts
but didn't it shrink 6 times right after when he saw what happened to the last chapter?
Aaron Hernandez
>Kubo's character designs are the best in WSJ Bleach and Shokugeki have the best art in JUMP.
Julian Collins
I remember for at least 10 straight years, I suffered from Naruto's bullshit.
it started in 2005 with the Tenchi Bridge and how pointless it was.
Then after the actually decent Immortal arc, Uchiha Arc onwards just sucked. Then Pain arc was a middle finger, Gokage arc was a headache, Tailed Beasts arc was boring and the Final arc was a disaster on all accounts.
AND THEN AFTER THAT WAS THE GAIDEN, LAST MOVIE AND BORUTO MOVIE! And that was just awful since it was required to read and watch those in order to understand the ending itself.
Pre-Reaper (1-8) Soul Society (9-20) Hueco Mundo (21-32) Fake Karakura Town (33-48) Fullbring (49-54) Blood War (55-74)
Lincoln Hernandez
I'm still pissed they didn't anime the last arc. Anime is so hype
Joseph Morales
can u believe it
Nathan Gonzalez
They will. I think after Naruto, they will have to go after Bleach next. Would make sense since Naruto's cash cow is ending.

Noah Hill
>them shiba genes
Julian Peterson
pfffft
Xavier Williams
Karin had very impressive development.
Brody Rivera
Hang on, don't give up hope yet. Naruto is ending in a little. Pierrot needs something new to milk.
If you pronounce Pierrot like "perry-awt" I will smack you
Hudson Hill
Think about it:
>Naruto ending in 3 episodes >Boruto is WAY too new to animate >Bleach's final arc (20 volumes) is lying around >could milk that baby for what it's worth >even add in filler fights that aren't in the manga (like Kirio Hikifune vs. Pernida or something like that) >Bleach is still one of the big 3 internationally.
See? Would make sense. Studio Perridot owns both of these.
Isaiah Wright
>she doesn't bother getting any powers and doing something or at least kill hallows she just wanted to help protect her family during the fb arc, but thats really it. she didnt have any desire to protect a mountain of people like ichigo.
Ryan Reyes
she wanted to help and didn't do anything. How low can you get? From my perspective, someone who just watches something bad happen when they can do something about it is a trashcan, even that loli urahara keeps in his shop could fight arrancars
Colton Ortiz
>>Boruto is WAY too new to animate an anime special was already announced though.
Cooper Martinez
ANIME ORIGINAL ENDING? I could have waited another year before starting to get into bleach, but I did it two months ago and binged all the episodes and now I'm blue balled till the anime gets here and I've read the manga but it doesn't feel hype
Luke Morris
i just got the feeling that kubo forgot that he wrote that or decided to drop it for whatever reason.
Ethan Sanders
she's even half quincy. She can ask uryu to teach her quincy shit. As usual isshin keeps everything from his kids
Adam Flores
That's how I felt about it. Just something else that was potentially interesting that ended up getting Kubo'd.
William Ross
>forgot yeah I'm going to miss that shit
Xavier Ramirez
At least Kazui knows where he comes from.
Xavier Cox
>At least Kazui knows where he comes from. Thank god. I'm so glad that he's not left in the dark like Ichigo was.
Levi Powell
isshin is a scumbag >protect your kids by telling them nothing I hate parents like that.
Noah Ross
>kubooo I still kind of don't understand what we were trying to convey with this phrase. I mean most of the time people posted it when the writing was real bad or when a tremendous asspull happened. But I have the strong feeling there were also people who posted this non ironically and thought something like "wow, Kubo delivered some real good plot twist right there, I really didn't saw that comming!"
Aiden Lee
How broken would a dangai Kazui going all out be?
John King
Obata and Murata wants a word.
Evan Thomas
At least he got rukia as a consolation prize.
Nolan Smith
How would you have made the most of the final 5 chapters, what would you have done differently? Rules: You cannot change the pairings and the offspring You can only change minor details in the final 5 chapters. No complete rewrites.
I would've had Aizen transported to the king's realm and had him and Ichigo fight Yhwach there with all other fighters either incapacitated, become spectators to the final fight, or made irrelevant by the massive power gap. Instead of going to SS Yhwach attacks the remaining captains in the king's realm. Ichigo recovers and follows after him and arrives just as Yhwach accidentally releases Aizen. The fight plays out as it did in the actual ending (it was actually pretty good imo) with the exception that Aizen's dragons wreak havoc, rise into the sky and crash down on Yhwach and continue downwards. Part of the platform breaks off and falls on SS destroying large parts of it, but not complete the destruction in the actual ending. After Yhwach is slain the power he took from Ichigo returns to its rightful owner. We get occasional shots of the defeated, or paralyzed shinigami observing throughout the fight. This way Urahara's survival is confirmed (we also see Shuhei lying in a pool of his own blood with the kanji for bankai written in his own blood on the floor, for comedic effect).
Jayden Cooper
Kubo has no single good parent figure. He even absolves Ryuuken's abandonment of Uryuu by saying "it's for a good cause!" and have Uryuu be okay with it. So not paying attention to your kid, cutting up his mom's corpse and not explaining shit was to find her cause of death and forge revenge material from it? Yeah, fuck that, a small child's trauma carries on forever.
Michael Ramirez
post-Death note obata is garbage compared to kubo lol
Colton Cooper
>dude sorry I broke your sword >here, take my sister It was Renji's plan all along
Kayden Baker
>Bleach had 4 good arcs Try 2.
Logan Sanders
I would've given a limb for a chapter centered around Uryu and the relationship with his mom.
Jose Sanders
ukitake looks so happy and healthy and alive ;_;
Kayden Davis
>Bleach is still one of the big 3 internationally I don't think the last chapter even got advertised anywhere outside of Japan.
Ayden Lopez
>How would you have made the most of the final 5 chapters, what would you have done differently? >You cannot change the pairings and the offspring >You can only change minor details in the final 5 chapters. No complete rewrites.
The only way to save it is a complete rewrite. Anyone that says otherwise is a liar.
Wyatt Taylor
Uryu's character would've been dominated by his lust for vengeance if he had known about Yhwach from the onset and he would've hated his quincy heritage like his father does. Uryu picked up sowing and other house chores from her. Uryu and Ryuken both really loved Masaki, but Ryuken was never any good at showing affection.
Caleb Perez
>Kubo has no single good parent figure Masaki.
Katagiri was probably a good mom too.
Jeremiah Morris
No, because people enjoyed the 48 volumes out of the 74. That is 4 arcs out of the 6. Even I who enjoyed the first 32 volumes and the last 20 volumes still hold that outlook about 4 arcs good and 2 arcs bad.
No, a bunch of websites including Anime News Network and Cruchyroll even posted stuff about the final chapter.
Mason Sullivan
>Masaki Probably true for Ryuken. But I meant Katagiri.
Anthony Flores
>Uryu and Ryuken both really loved Masaki wot
Christian Morgan
it's used for both kubooo (not this shit, please) kubooo (clever bastard)
Joshua Cox
It's not about saving Bleach, it's about making the most of Bleach from the time the ending was announced.
Justin Parker
Why did they bring grimmjow back for literally one scene with no further exposition.
What happened with harribel
KUBOOOOOOO
Jaxon King
What kind of sketches do you guys want to be included this final volume?
-isshin reuniting + drinking with toshiro/rangiku or the shiba clan. -uryu and his dad visiting katagiris grave -something pairing related. the day ichihime got married or the day kazui was born + something for renruki. i would love to see a pregnant, glowing rukia. -a kazui/ichika sketch. more interactions please. hes definitely a sweet little angel while shes all spunky and bossy.
Benjamin Ross
>Why did they bring grimmjow back for literally one scene with no further exposition. >What happened with harribel Nel literally did nothing lmao
William Baker
Yes. Kubo RTd a pic with Ichigo and Orihime cupcakes on Valentine's Day. I wish I had the screencap.
Andrew Garcia
Instead of leaving characters like that "barely alive" so they can come back later, kubo should have killed them off. Instead he brought them back to watch the shit this manga has become, at least Ulqiorra escaped that and got a beautiful death.
Lincoln Gutierrez
>isshin is a scumbag Yes. He also made jokes about he 12 year old daughters not wearing panties. What was Kubo thinking with that one?
Cooper Adams
>isshin reuniting + drinking with toshiro/rangiku

Charles Phillips

Eli Hernandez
My father used to joke about my sister stealing my mom's panties to smell like a woman, so yes.
Jeremiah Campbell
I'd eat The Heart
Kayden Gomez
How would a ordinary person get powers? >To be fullbringer you need a pregnant mother to survive hallow attacks that's rare, so you can't count on yourself being one >to be a quincy you need quincy parents Nothing you can control >to be shinigami you need to be dead or steal shinigami powers from someone This is possible but someone needs to give them to you if you're alive, and if you die then you need to train and all >to be an arrancar you need to be dead and angry and then eat other hallows till you become great otherwise you're just a weak loser Not easy
Being a fullbringer who dies and becomes a hallow and dies again and becomes a shinigami would be 3 lives so that's pretty interesting.
Ian Wilson
>tfw no shinji bankai >no yoruichi bankai >no hisagi bankai >no vizards never not jobbing >no more uryu paneltime despite it being his arc. >no getsuga >no harribel/grimmjow/nel doing something relevant >no ryuuken/isshin joining the fight

Landon Lee
>no yoruichi bankai Yeah this never ever was a thing to begin with. She obviously was never meant to have a shikai/bankai.
Other than that you're right of course though those aren't even 10% of the things the madman forgot or just didn't care to show us.
Andrew Williams
...
Robert Sanchez
No truly pure souls aside from the untainted quincies exist. Potential for fullbring is probably so widespread that everyone has a "hidden power" of some sort. It's not the power origin that matters in this context, but the raw spirit power of the individual. If you are capable of aquiring spirit power somehow it may be possible. Shinigami also seems to be the net where all dead potential power users eventually end up.
Christopher Price
she specifically stated herself that kenpachi was the only captain to become captain without a bankai
It's silly she wouldn't have one after we learned she was a captain.
Hunter Cooper
Uh... are those some weird foreign habbits I don't understand? I mean I'm german so I know my fair share of fucked up stuff but this sounds just wrong
Xavier White
Here's Shiniji's Bankai, courtesy of Kubo himself! >doesn't just reverse directions...reverses the perception of directions being reversed >his bankai is literally nothing
Jose Lopez
Quincies become shinigami when they die right? They go to soul society don't they?
Carson Sanchez
>Muh canon cupcakes! Kubo shipped the fuck out of it.
John Green
She discarded it. Crazy as that may sound, she transcended her limits as a shinigami and became capable of invoking her powers without a zanpaktou. Her brother is really no different in that regard.
Joshua Robinson
That's not old fashioned. That's just weird.
James Torres
God, they look so good together. Doujins never ;_;
Camden Harris
They might have, but it's not like there are any quincies in the afterlife. Remember Mayuri and Soul Society's efforts to wipe out the quincy race to prevent Yhwach from returning.
Easton Flores
Shinji was so cool before karakura town arc. His revenge was going to be so sweet. Vizards were so tragic and angry, I was waiting for something good to happen. Then they slapped us in the face. At least stark, shunsui, kaname and komamura and gin were nice to watch.
Elijah Turner
>things the madman forgot or just didn't care to show us
I sincerely hope somebody was smart enough to go and release Halibel when the dickery with the moustache fag was fover.
Brandon Foster
Why is Cred Forums the only place that appreciates this threesome?
Hunter Collins
>she specifically stated herself that kenpachi was the only captain to become captain without a bankai Dude we're talking about Kubo, remember? This is not like One Piece were every inch of the story is planned out in detail. Kubo obviously hasn't planned for her to be a captain that time. But if you want some asspull explanation then how about "she meant everyone who owns a sword needs bankai to be captain and Kenpachi was the only one who didn't fit this criteria." I mean she obviously doesn't even have a sword so that might even be what she really meant to say that time.
Well she has her three fangirls hasn't she? I mean sure the last thing I remember is that they were lying around dead/unconciously but they also survived a burn from the old man himself so I guess they were alive...?
Austin Sullivan
No idea. He clearly wanted to fuck both of them. Probably at the same time.
Isaac Ramirez
So will we get a databook? We are bound to get a databook aren't we? I mean fuck we don't even know if Uraharas party survived since Kubo didn't even bother to mention them in the final chapter
Carson Mitchell
unpopular opinion, but i really liked katagiri and nanaos mom even though we only got a few panels of them.
Camden Butler
Yeah, they would probably go find her once the quincies got cleaned up. They saved her last time too.
Charles Jones
>He clearly wanted to fuck both of them. Since when were you under the impression that he didn't fuck them?
Jordan King
We still have the volume sketches.
I hope we get a databook though. I want Kubo to tell us what Orihime is already, if she's a fullbringer then he should just make it canon already.
Isaac Cooper
Doujins never ;_;
Gavin Ramirez

Jordan Walker
ive been re-reading and gin fucking sucks.
-plotting revenge against aizen that rangiku didnt even ask for -plays that cruel joke on rukia that makes her break down -manipulates the fuck out of kira

Nathan Anderson
Me too. Very unpopular opinion, I like the subtle way Kubo writes romantic love.
Robert Clark
>I like the subtle way Kubo writes romantic love. Honestly me too.
Gabriel Hill
Took him a hundred years but aizen shielded by plot armour. At least he could have been like father from FMA which meant that he's spending other peoples souls to stay alive and survive but NOOOO
Parker Miller
was it Aizen who raped Rangiku?
Tyler Mitchell
i dont think he would do something like that. since rangiku's past was suppose to be important this arc, im guessing it had to do with that.
we'll literally never know.
Ayden Peterson
Aizens pawns stole a part of her soul for his hogyoku
Leo Jenkins
honestly if bleach's pacing was better it would probably still have sold int he top 3 for much longer
Adam Brown
I usually interpreted it as "cheeky bastard"
Camden Ortiz
would kazui beat kenpachi in a fight?
Austin Williams
In this chapter? Ah, I thought it was rape or something like that. I'm not the stupidest reader, was that actually explained anywhere? mangapark.me/manga/bleach/s3/c415
Nathan Cruz
But it was more like one of those things you do out of pity, right? Like if a mentally handicaped person manages to tie his shoes for the first time in like two weeks. You clap, congratulate and say he has done a great job but deep down you just pity the poor bastard because you know he'll never produce something of value ever.
Camden Stewart
>Like if a mentally handicaped person manages to tie his shoes for the first time in like two weeks. You clap, congratulate and say he has done a great job but deep down you just pity the poor bastard because you know he'll never produce something of value ever. this is so ugly
Jackson Perry
Well I imagine his fight with Kenpachi to play down pretty similar to Ichigos with only one exception. In his inner world he won't be given power by some quincy hobo but a totally twisted hollow quincy shinigami fullbring abomination and after that he'd probably tear Kenpachi a second anus
Isaiah Martinez
I don't think he has the skill for that at the moment. He's already frighteningly powerful, though.
Jordan Brooks
2nd Kenpachi was a mistake
Luke Watson
And yet it relates to Kubo A LOT, right? I only realised how damn fitting it is when I finished writing it
Chase James
>I don't think he has the skill for that at the moment. He literally destroyed left-over Yhwach though and he's like what, 6 at most?
Imagine when he's 15/16.
Luke Baker
Except you don't pity a hack, you just resent them.
Liam Hughes
But we don't know anything about what the hell happened there do we? I doubt it was something power related I mean a child can't be THAT strong. Yhwach probably tried to materialise or some shit and Kazui cockblocked him accidentally.
Ayden King
cute
Parker Cruz
But you know that he'll never manage to produce anything of value anyway so why resenting him? Pity is much more fitting in my opinion
Gavin Mitchell
c u t e
Nathan Baker
There's a lot of deliberate laziness involved in not managing to produce something of value.

Alexander Price
Youruichi+Soifon kid.
Wyatt Cox

New Nemu (see chapter685) it looks like. That was also a rushed kill-off.
James Moore
no desu
Gabriel Carter
Reminds me, I never really shipped anything here except perhaps Yoruichi-Soifon, but incidentally today I looked and noticed there are some cute vanilla doujins of Hitsugaya fucking with Rangiku.
Andrew Hill
Rude. My favorite ship only exists in anime filler, but that's no reason to insult it.
Jack Edwards

It's time to accept that Kubo didn't give a fuck and got bored
Juan Kelly
Ikakku hiding his bankai was stupid.
Thomas Cox
mah nigga
Isaiah Green
The premise of this fight seems silly to be honest. Ichigo is literally the WORST possible opponent for Renji in a bankai to bankai fight.
Byakuya was faster and stronger than Renji in his incomplete bankai form, and Ichigo is stronger and faster than Byakuya on all levels; even when at his weakest. That said, does look cool.
Julian Wood
Ichogo going to soul society to retrieve his dead at birth son's soul and saving it from living in rukongai.
Nathan Murphy
Like half or more of things in Bleach. It's the shounen genre at its best/worst.
Side note: why the hell does everyone looks so good just by going trans?
Angel Hughes
To be fair, who wouldn't count as a bad opponent for Renji? Maybe Chad.
Angel Fisher
Hitsu looks worse.
I'd Shunsui hard.
Luke Ortiz
Did Ichigo ever get to walk Orihime home gently? I mean, literally walk her home gently. We already know he did the other thing.
Leo Peterson
I'd Ginko and Zarako at least. Koyrako too and ever Aizen looks hot, FFS. And yeah, Hitsugaya should have been some delicate loli. He's cute as he is, though.
Juan Kelly
Hah, even Grimjow stops being annoying sight with some cute.
Liam Rogers
Rukia didn't even want to be saved even after Ichigo rescue her. It was Renji who convinced her to live.
She never had anything for him. She wasn't even going to return his powers until Orihime whined and cried about it (as the novel reveals).
Cooper Phillips
And he still fought, unlike Ichigo who bitched and moaned and got depressed when his blade shattered. Renji had balls Ichigo lacked; Ichigo only had plot armor.
Aiden Baker
I'm pretty sure that was a hypothetical scenario.
Honestly I'd have to go back and read this stuff though, because people make up so much shit in their effort to push their ship that I dunno what to believe anymore.
Either way it's obvious that Orihime won. Ichigo is a decent looking guy and actually kind of matters. Renji is an ugly fuck that does nothing but job. Don't even know what Rukia sees in him.
Nathaniel Powell
Kubo once retweeted this.
Nathan Jackson
Will Uryuu's son be free of the curse?
Haha, no, who are we kidding. He's probably going to fall in love with a girl only to find her and Kazui banging in a broom closet somewhere.
Julian Foster
Rukia's problem in SS isn't that she was going to be executed (yes, that was part of it), but it ran deeper something Ichirukifags don't acknowledge because they: 1) Misunderstood Rukia as some kind of self-sacrificial selfless angel who was saving her true love in exchange for her life. 2) Want to diminish Renji's actions.
Rukia's problem was she was suicidal, cynical and consumed by guilt after Kaien's death, thinking nobody cared about her. Nobody SHE gave a fuck about anyway. Ichigo rescuing her was important but she still kept her emo depressive bullshit about throwing her life away as if was trash until Renji refused to let her die, because she was worth to him. After that she wanted to live. It wasn't that she was a noble angel in love, it was that she was a depressed girl who was self-destructive.
She needed to know her brother valued her and that Renji wouldn't let her go again. Ichigo caused this to happen but he was a catalyst more than the person who gave her happiness, if that makes sense. Just like in Ichigo's life, she was a catalyst, too.
Luis Rivera
Is this the tweet about renruki?
Dominic Reyes
>She needed to know her brother valued her and that Renji wouldn't let her go again. Ichigo caused this to happen but he was a catalyst more than the person who gave her happiness, if that makes sense. Just like in Ichigo's life, she was a catalyst, too. Yes to everything you wrote, especially this part. Ichiruki fans really need to go back and re-read the manga without their ridiculous shipping bias.
Jason Jones
>all these deep analysis over shipping
yamero
Lincoln Hill
I dunno about all of that. I was just wondering why she even likes Renji to begin with since he's really ugly and useless. She should have went for an incest ending.
Thomas Gutierrez
how beautiful would an ichihime daughter be?
Thomas Myers
Probably better looking than Orihime since Ichigo's grumpy face genes would balance out Orihime's kawaii uguu genes.
Angel Clark
>kubo reveals in one of the volume sketches that uryu is happily engaged to some cute nurse

Kayden Moore

Nathaniel Hughes

Julian Phillips
...
Justin Bailey
Especially given how the author just throws random ideas, logical leaps and asspull motivations or sudden expositions to explain or serve whatever purpose occured to him at the moment.
It's pointless to analyze any given detail and try to draw people's character or feelings from it. Because everything could change multiple times and get competition from several contradictory elements.
Like Rukia power level. Originally weak shinigami, then it is revealed she is just sheltered, has rare shikai and then bankai and at the end they make her captain.
Jackson Phillips
Playing sports are a good way to work up a sweat. You know what else is a good way to work up a sweat? Running on a treadmill. Also, fucking.
Jonathan Jones
Too bad Hinamori still wants Aizen's dick.
Robert Morris
Kubo was consistent with Orihime and her feelings though.
Cooper Hill
Not him but yeah, I mean that was kind of the entire point of her character really.

Yes, it's about the translator of the official Italian release saying happy birthday to Renji and hoping he'll marry Rukia in the future.
Oliver Phillips
>ichiruki-ists still thought they had a chance after byakuya tells renji his fang reached him
Nathan Evans
I think she gave up on him after the second stabbing. The arrow of Momo and Ice Shota was mutual.
It's kind of unfair that fucking Momo lands the most sought after dick. Iceshotabowl is better than any bowl.
Luis White
It's a sweet pairing though. Toshiro is usually grumpy, but when he's around her he becomes more tender.
Benjamin Rogers
Y'know if you kinda used the same logic Ichiruki use to justify Ichigo and Rukia being endgame, you can kinda ship him just about anyone lol
Christian Miller
>implying he's too good for the Tittybowl Too bad Rangiku will never get over Gin.
Jonathan Gray
>Too bad Rangiku will never get over Gin. Can you blame her? They were obviously in love with each other, but his dumbass screwed everything up for revenge she didn't even want.
Christian Evans
do you think he ever titfucked her
Justin Howard
of course
Jacob Jackson
>Can you blame her? Actually that's why I can blame her. She could have pretty much anyone she wanted and yet refuses to move on. Gin was kind of a dick anyway.
Jordan Wright
Definitely.
Aiden Young
still can't believe how flustered he got just from being asked about her outfit. the only other time hes that flustered is when he sees yoruichi naked.
Cameron Carter
I've a hard time imagining either of them doing much. Ichigo seems vanilla as fuck and Orihime seems like she'd be really boring.
Brandon Taylor
>Orihime seems like she'd be really boring. I don't know about that. Back in the FB arc, her vision Ichigo was wearing a suit and loosing his tie.
Sebastian Jackson
How happy when isshin when ichigo brought orihime to the house as his girlfriend?
Dylan Turner
There was also that one time Rangiku started undoing her top to convince him to let them stay there. Hell he even looked at them.
I think the main point for Ichihime is simply that Ichigo really likes breasts, and Orihime would be easy as fuck for him since she slobbers over his cock 24/7.

Brayden Morgan
didn't Kubo even admit that he couldn't decide on whether to make Gin a hero or villain until pretty much the last second? He flip flopped between the two right up until Gin stabbed Aizen.
Brandon White
Yuzu is pure
Liam Bailey
I don't think they could even get to her. She was in the basement of Silbern back when it was still in the shadow realm thing. If she wasn't left there it would mean she was still in Silbern, which replaced the Royal Palace, which we were told (but also sorta half lied to) could only be reached by key holders and their bones and only through a few limited modes of transit. (both facts of which were proven wrong in the course of the plot) Plus I don't think anyone that actually knew where she was held was anywhere near enough to help her. Grimmjow and Nel maybe, but Grimmjow was also KO'd in the Askin fight. So Nel is basically the only candidate.
Cameron Nelson
Yuzu isn't interested in anyone who isn't Ichi-nii or her nephew.

Let's wind the clocks back a year. These renrukifags and ichihimefags wouldn't dare cross any of you... I mean, what happened? Did your balls drop off? Hmm?
Look, listen—I know why you choose to have your little, ahem, "group therapy" sessions in some private forums. I know why you're afraid to go around on the internet. Tite Kubo. See, Tite Kubo has shown the world your true colors, unfortunately. Kishimoto? He's just the beginning. And as for the, uh, tumblr's "plan"—Tite Kubo has no jurisdiction. He'll find him, and make him squeal. I know the squealers when I see them, and…

I don't think he's all that powerful right now, just that he has a very good grasp on his powers and capabilities. He's definitely far more skilled and powerful than Ichigo was at his age, but only time will tell if he becomes more powerful than his father. If he absorbed Yhwach, that's a definite yes.
Robert Carter
Uryu can use the his power to reverse the situation.

Jose Lewis
Ichigo has been to his inner world tons of times to develop his character and grow as a character. But where have we seen any evidence of character development? NOWHERE AT ALL. He still acts like a bitch the same way he used to in episode 1. Did Kubo intend this? Looking back I'm starting to understand why I never saw ichigo as a person, because he LITERALLY ISN'T. He's an empty shell for us to project into and the only things he really got from the inner world were powerups
Noah Myers

So arguing over parenting skills is passion these days huh? You Ichiruki fans are so embarrassing.
Eli Price
I think there's like 3 genuine ichihime fans on here and I'm one of them.
Robert Green
i dont think he means impassioned as romantic, but impassioned as they are both heated in the argument.
Nolan Diaz
Not really arguing for them as a pairing, but let's just be honest; Ichigo and Rukia arguably had better chemistry than Ichigo and Orihime. The reason for that is probably because they have a non-romantic relationship. The main guy usually does have better chemistry with the secondary girl.
Cameron Cooper
Renji's_smug.png
Tyler Jenkins
The people who wrote this are retarded user.
Sebastian Nguyen
>Ichigo and Rukia arguably had better chemistry than Ichigo and Orihime. Don't agree to be honest. The IR relationship got real boring real fast, I'm just not into the whole yelling/hitting/bickering thing especially since Ichigo bickers with 98% of the cast. He was different with Orihime, more soft/treated her like an actual girl.
Cameron Bennett
Ichigo's hair color is supposed to be orange. Orihime's hair color is supposed to be caramel. Anime made it more orange, and then by the later volumes Kubo himself seem to be influenced by that.
Charles Watson
They didn't always bicker, and otherwise had more variety of interactions. Compare to Ichigo and Orihime where he's just nice to her all of the time because she couldn't handle anything else, being your typical nice sweet girl. Can't imagine any sort of banter when it comes to a girl like that.
Brody Johnson
>The main guy usually does have better chemistry with the secondary guy. fixed
Ichigo and Rukia is the yaoi pairing of Bleach
Mason Hernandez
Fujo plz go
Cameron Lopez
>Can't imagine any sort of banter when it comes to a girl like that. I mean there was the scene when he teases her about the throwaway bread not being good and she straight-up tells him something along the lines of "and people who call it throwaway bread, wont have any". He's capable of joking around with her since it was shown in the manga-even if it was just one scene.
As for I/R, they bicker 95% of the time. They yell, she hits him, and then gives him some mentor-like speech and that's it. Kubo didn't bother to develop their relationship into anything more than that since he obviously likes it that way.
Jace Rodriguez
If you want to exaggerate like that then I should just as well say that 95% of I/H is him being gentle with her or trying to protect her while she's pining over him. Either way, nah I/R do more than just fight. Granted they stop interacting all that much after a while anyway since Orihime takes the role of main girl but still.
Luis Kelly
>Leave Bleach threads shortly after Bleach ends because of the threads descending into mindless shit posting and actively tracking down shit tumblrites post as if they're not insane every day of the year >Check back to see that nothing has changed.

If Naruto fags can keep their shit controlled why can't you guys? There's nothing to talk about and no new content.
Benjamin Parker
The Grand BTFO of Ichiruki fans: -Ichigo doesn’t even know that rukia even achieved bankai. So much for the whole ~blackmoonwhitesun~ bond. Those titles were only used on the databook anyways. -Kubo has rukia run straight to orihime instead of ichigo. Doesn’t even let them interact. She does nothing to help him out of his despair. -Literally recycles the rukia giving ichigo back his powers FB scene, but with fucking tsukishima. He took one of the most beloved IR scenes and did that to it. -No tagteam. -The MOTS scan where orihime got love and friendship and rukia shared a page with renji(despite the fact that renji got his own scan a few months back) thats titled irreplaceable nakama. -Has them interact twice this final arc. The hospital scene and the last chapter. -Uraharas last words. The chapter is 666. Kubo was playing the devil himself when he baited the fuck out of IR fans. -Last chapter is another nail on the coffin since they’re shown arguing over their parenting skills. ichigo/orihime are more protective(faeries follow kazui around, ichigo yelling at rukia to find her daughter) while rukia/renji are obviously more lax. -Names the last chapter “death and strawberry” which is the most popular IR ship name. A chapter where ichigo and rukia are living in different worlds, happily married to other people, and started a family with their respective spouses. -Gives the “death and strawberry” title to the renruki/ichihime kids. -Ichiruki fans convinced themselves that Japanese fans would be raging and burning their merch, but instead they were pretty comfy with it and all the complaining had to do with the missing characters. -A whole article dedicated to Japanese fans mocking the Western fanbase for their tantrum. Calling them Ichiruk-ists.
All we need is the final volume to sell well(which it will) and for Kubo to take a shot at them in a future interview.
Oliver Scott
>I/R do more than just fight Yes I know, but most of the time it is bickering/not seeing eye to eye until Rukia hits him. You can't deny it, because their bickering/rukia putting him in his place is one of the main reasons the ship is so popular.
Sebastian Jenkins
Ichigo is kind to her because he's a kind person and he knows what Orihime has had to deal with, not because he thinks she "couldn't handle anything else, being your typical nice sweet girl". Orihime from the start is the weirdo nice sweet girl.
Lucas Sullivan
Well what I meant wasn't so much that he's a mean guy that is only nice to her because he's walking on eggshells. Rather, it's because she's your usual nice sweet girl that he's always nothing but nice around her, because that's what her archetype forces.
Bentley Parker
Exactly. Their is very little difference in the way Ichigo treats Rukia, Chad, Ishida, his father, Renji, etc. And by the end of the manga even Chad is slapping Ichigo around to get him out of a funk. IR's need to shut up about their "chemistry." Whatever the fuck that means.
Nolan Stewart
IH isn't terribly original either. The sheer number of stories where a brooding young man with a rough attitude softens up around his sweet, beautiful love interest could probably fill a whole library or two.
That being said, I like Ichigo and Orihime's relationship in spite of it treading ground that's been stepped on before. I might just be a sucker for that kind of thing.
Liam Walker
Don't forget making the RenRuki kid look like Senna, which IchiRuki fans claimed was their kid from the future.
Kevin Howard
Bleach had pretty consistent daily threads that spiked in popularity on chapter releases for the majority of the final arc.
And the only thing left to discuss is the shipping since that's the only thing Kubo decided to give any sort of conclusion to and shipping is always cancer in every series.
Adam Rodriguez
>because he's walking on eggshells. At the beginning, but then they get closer over the course of the manga and by the last arc, he has no problem teasing her and she sasses him right back.
Caleb White
Ichigo teases Orihime in the manga. He's nice to her because he views her as being sweet, wholesome and attractive. He is responding to her femininity. Rukia is another bro.
Austin Smith
>IH isn't terribly original either. Never said it was. Like you said the whole tough guy softening for the sweet girl has been done so many times(not only in manga, but films/novels etc) but I love the trope, especially when its done right.
Hunter Miller
Only reason I have an issue with their relationship is simply because, as you said, it's been done a thousand times before. I always look at this kind of stuff and wonder why a character like Tatsuki or Rangiku or something can't be the main girl/love interest? For some reason Japan seems to have the idea that women like that aren't desirable or aren't capable of relationships or something.
Benjamin Johnson
No, it's not. I just like that Ichigo and Orihime are actually nice to each other and hold each other in high regards. They never throw out insults or feel the need to slap each other around. I apologize for thinking that's more substantial and a better indicator of a longterm romance than arguing over parenting styles.
Kevin Bennett
They're also claiming that shota Ywhach is an "IchiRuki son".
Eli Thompson
Childhood friend is not terribly original, neither is falling for a tomboy. I don't know what an "original" romance would be. There's a reason why people are cynical about that genre, it's very cliched.
Brody Flores
The thing is, Senna has always been designed as "female Renji".
>“When I read the script, Senna reminded me of Renji when she was interacting with Ichigo. So when I was drawing Senna I visualized a female version of Renji. One example of this influence is that I positioned the ribbon high on her head (laughs).”
Hudson Thomas
>Tatsuki or Rangiku Tatsuki sadly became irrelevant really quick. I'm still bitter that Kubo didn't show us the Tatsuki/Orihime reunion at the end of the HM arc. -Rangiku has the whole past with Gin. Obviously in love with each other, but shit hit the fan.
If you're talking about the tropes themselves(tatsuki the tomboy/rangiku, carefree beauty) then I'm not sure. In japan, it's either the sweet girl or tsundere who seems to win most of the time.
Angel Flores
You're moaning about the crap people are posting on twitter and tumblr, as if these people don't post inane shit all the fucking time.
Coming back to these threads was a mistake.
Leo Jenkins
Oh childhood friend is TERRIBLY unoriginal, particularly in video games. Tomboys are definitely less common.
I was just talking about the tropes themselves, right. It is exactly as you say, always either the sweet girl or tsundere. I'm not big on either so seeing them always be the main girl gets old. Maybe that's just me though, I dunno.
Xavier Collins
The whole JUMP sticker thing is still so funny. It comes off as some consolation prize.
The editors obviously knew the endgame pairings, especially since they were the ones that titled Orihimes scan with "love and friendship".
Nathan Butler
>Maybe that's just me though, I dunno. I love the sweet girl trope, but I hate tsunderes. I wouldn't mind more tomboys/carefree beauties winning though.
Jacob Reyes
I can't think of a single time a carefree beauty has won honestly.
Brayden Hall
I don't mind the sweet girl trope that much, though I do find it kind of generic. I just wish they weren't practically guaranteed a 'victory'. Tsunderes are usually awful though, even moreso than yanderes since at least people tend to recognize that there's something wrong with being a yandere.
Dominic Perez
Yeah I can't either. I think Japan figures they are too flighty and not cutesy enough. Shame because Rangiku, as an example, seems like top tier waifu material.
Alexander Gutierrez
I love the carefree beauty trope. She's usually super confident, loud, love to drink and just a blast all around. The one's that come to mind are Rangiku and Tsunade-both who never got over their first loves.
Tsunderes are just awful like you said. I cannot stand it when the girl hits/demeans the guy just because SHE can't deal with her growing feelings towards him. It's the most annoying trope to me.
Easton King
Carefree beauties are too carefree, so they are generally okay about not winning bowls. This translates to them losing because many authors don't have the balls to break the fragile sweet girl's heart.
In j-doramas, the main guy would break the strong girl's heart because though he likes her better, he doesn't want to break the fragile sweet girl's heart. And then he became miserable and the sweet girl caught on to this and lets him go, showing she's stronger than he thought she is. Years later, he and the strong girl reunite, usually at a train station or a railroad crossing.
Jace Cruz
Rangiku won. It's just that she chose a shitty bowl.
She also looks too old to be a shonen protag's love interest.
Wyatt Perry
>She also looks too old to be a shonen protag's love interest. Her and Orihime are a bit alike. There's a reason why the two beauties get on so well in the manga.
Henry Harris
Thinking about it, they often tend to have had a first love that either died or went with another girl who they didn't ever get over. They are just good at not showing it. Also makes me feel a bit worse for them since they are so much more likely to just be left to deal with it alone.
Robert Wood
My first exposure to Bleach was through fanart, and I thought Rangiku was Orihime's older sister or otherwise related to her.
Anthony Taylor
They're only alike in boobs, but Rangiku is a woman and Orihime is still a girl. Heck, her 28-year old self still looks like a girl.
Grayson Rivera
Back during the HM arc, they had a nice relationship. Rangiku listened to her insecurities and literally jumped out of the tub to comfort Orihime. She was also the only person to try her cooking despite the fact that it turn's most people off just by appearance. I wish we saw them interact more after that. Rangiku must've felt so proud the day she found out Ichigo and Orihime were officially a thing.
Jaxson Fisher
Ichigo isn't so considered with anyone. That he was with Orihime proves he liked her. He didn't want to give a bad impression, user.
Austin Howard
>They are just good at not showing it. Also makes me feel a bit worse for them since they are so much more likely to just be left to deal with it alone. Yup. Their loud and confident attitude is just an act to hide their grief/sorrow over the first love they never got over. It's actually really sad.

Of course they're alike in personality, but I was talking about the physical when saying she looks too old to be a shonen protag's love interest.

Jaxon Diaz
Ah, I forgot. Sheryl is indeed the sexy, carefree girl who actually won.
Eli Harris
>Ichigo isn't so considered with anyone. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure Uryu and Orihime are the only characters he uses honorifics with.
-Uryu because of the whole "frenemy" thing going on-act like they dislike each other but love each other a lot just won't admit it to each other. -Orihime, because she's one of the few people he actually treats with respect.
Pretty sure Ichigo didn't bother to use honorifics with Yamamoto, even though he was the Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13.
Matthew Myers
Yes. The tsundere one was Alto.
Nicholas Foster
You can infer that Ichigo saw Orihime as an actual girl. One that he could be interested in and, therefore, he treated her more kindly. He innately responds to her like that.
Samuel Barnes
Ichigo calls Uryuu "Ishida" and calls Orihime "Inoue". No honorifics, it shows a classmate-but-not-particularly-close relationship that he had with them at the start of Bleach. Somehow he maintains that over the two years where he got closer to them, yet calls shinigami that he's not actually friends with by their first names (Byakuya and Toushirou).
Bentley Wright
There's also a number of carefree beauties that are main heroines in game franchises which will get animated. For example Fate franchise with Nero.
Isaac Anderson
Thanks for clearing that up. I/Rs would always use that fact that he still called orihime by her last name as proof that they aren't close/he doesn't really care for her, but going by their logical he should be close to byakuya and toshiro since he calls them by their first name.
Evan Baker
hitsugaya could chill everything around him since a child but even he used a sword
If anyone could use that power without a sword is yamamoto but even he uses ryuujin jaka
There is pretty much no reasonable explanation for yoruichi not use a zanpaktou unless her power is literal chaos and if she channels it controlling it inversely becomes harder.
Owen Garcia
Cute and in character.
James Brooks
Ichigo def tittyfucks. His reaction in that scene is priceless.
Christian Lopez
>His reaction in that scene is priceless. what was going through his mind
Joshua Cook
This picture makes it so clear that Kubo does not care for small, flatchested women. He's like 'keep it covered up.'
Nathaniel Edwards
Two things.
>An Inoue/Yoruichi lesbian love scene is happening. >What it would feel like to put my dick there?
Leo Gray
raising Kazui is probably the first time Orihime got upfront with Ichigo
Lucas Parker
"This is the most beautiful thing I've ever witnessed. Nobody must know I thought that."
Charles Reed
I wonder what careers they both have. She's probably a housewife, but I could easily see her being a nurse at the clinic while Ichigo's the main doctor.
Isaac Brooks
You mean Ichigo masquerades as the head doctor while Orihime distracts everyone in a nurse outfit and nobody thinks twice when they walk out miraculously healed of all ailments.
Isaac Reyes
>Orihime distracts everyone in a nurse outfit and nobody thinks twice when they walk out miraculously healed of all ailments. Do it Kubo.
John Jenkins
And their daughter slowly takes over the duty of distracting the patients as Orihime grows too old for that trick.
It was Isshin's idea. Ichigo and Orihime needed a lot of convincing first.
I'm not aware Naver allows fancomics on their webtoon challenge. Or they just haven't catch up to it yet?
Xavier Scott
That said, the 1000 years flashback story of the shinigami-quincy war is actually starting out interesting.
Connor Adams
My favorite part about this fancomic is Kirio's Shikai taking the form of two massive chopsticks.

You should read Hammered Down, you'll like him then.
Jaxon Foster
This.
Rukia's and Ichigo's *romantic* feelings were never addressed in the manga. They could have been or eventually fallen in loved with basically anyone.
Joshua Harris
Source?
Angel Young
I love this too user, it's too bad some panels look literally like Kubo panels if you squint, while others look full retarded with the face proportions.
Nah, Yhwach shows up in person. Either that or Kazui is capable of overwhelming him and forces him into shikai/bankai.
Carson Garcia
who is juha bach?
Bentley Murphy
just a black ant
Carson Davis
It is because he is/was still a brat that can socialize with fellow boys but is unsure with girls. The girls he met like shinigami he probably views differently.
Aiden Morris
he calls everyone by their first names in the dub though. So dub>sub
Charles Johnson
is the quincy equivalent to bankai the volstandich?
Parker Phillips
>volstandich Vollständig is the name.
Noah Sanchez
I am.
Charles Hall
Rangiku-san Yoruichi-san Rukia Riruka

Some embarassingly-shounen faggot. See Aizen.
James Howard
making a next generation sequel to bleach is hard, almost impossible.
not just because of how bleach's popularity is not that high anymore, but because of the very nature of how bleach is set up.
see, if you're setting up a "next generation" of characters ala their kids replacing the original characters as the focus, you will run into problems for bleach because of how the shinigami(or other soul beings in particular) hardly age.
compared to the other shounens that did it, like naruto, shaman king(and dragonball kinda until they brought back goku), you have ways to keep the focus on said kids compared to the original characters through their age. they get older, no longer as strong, retire from their jobs, etc. so that the kids have their time to shine and keep the older characters from taking it back.
bleach cant do that, maybe to ichigo and friends, but the rest of the shinigami you really cant make them sit out.
if shit hits the fan, there's no way that the kids should be dealing/solving it themselves. ichigo and friends could be kept away either due to their real life responsibilities or some BS where their powers faded/weakened as they lived normally, but rukia and renji are still going to be involved, along with the other captains, VC, vizards, espadas, urahara's group... they would still be fit for fighting as well as having said responsibility of protecting the living world.
Christopher Torres
how about we restart bleach lmao
Carter Fisher
>there's no way Shounen manga like Bleach seldom makes sense like that. If something is nonsensical, some pretext or stupid excuse is made up.
Dylan Martinez
sounds like a lot more effort than trying to continue bleach for someone like kubo.
Xavier Perry
I mean, a DIRECT sequel would still be possible, but a "next generation" kind doesnt work for it since majority of the characters in bleach would still be quite active and well. others like shaman king and naruto can be too old to be involved, or they can still be involved but weaker to give space for kids to show off.
Ethan Howard
Next generation SoL.
Henry Kelly
Maybe someone would do a short one shot thats more comfy and is more mystery orientated and spoopy
like me
Cameron Robinson
only way it can be done well, however, it is doubtful that it will be stretchable as well as being something shounen jump would put.
best we can hope is kubo doing a short gaiden like kishi did.
Easton Parker
That being said, is there a horror anime/manga to draw inspiration from?
Lucas Moore
>horror how are you gonna do that in bleach, when you've got ghosts who can level buildings in a swipe?
