But it got far worse after that.
They stayed in the spirit world too long after they got her back.

Filler ain't canom. I skipped it.

So it'd be Ichigo, Tatsuki and occasionally Chad beating the shit out of Yakuza with Ichigo occasionally racing off to help the taller version of Shinobu kill a hollow? That could be good I feel.

Good thing bleach moved away from japanese highschools them

Again, sticking to the human world doesn't mean sticking to highschools. They could've gone to other parts of japan or just ditch japan and go to America or some shit.

It's because the team knew this was their last time working on bleach and it will be gone forever

Just refrain from writing any scenes that involve them being in school, and just always keep it after hours or on weekends.

You're not required to have the plot involve high school if your characters are high schoolers.

Why stick to the human world at all?

Meant for

Because urban fantasy settings are much easier to pull off than the pseudo isekai crap Kubo wanted to do but lacked the creativity for

They didn't really fight Hollows in their highschool classroom. Ichigo (Ishida) running out of the classroom to go fight in the city somewhere. The only time they were ever shown to be at school was either as display for how peaceful things were as a preface to how dangerous things were about to become, or to remind you that Ichigo and co. are supposed to be "regular" humans but involved (almost unwillingly) in literal life-or-death matters.

Nah

>NOTYYH
This amuses me because Jump actually didn't let Kubo serialize Bleach until YYH ended because even they knew it would draw too many comparisons.

Your point?

It was never a prominent aspect of the show to begin with---the Japanese high schools.
"Moving away" from it was unnecessary.

>"Moving away" from it was unnecessary.
But if it never was prominent then the series didnt "move away" from it because it never was "on it"

You're simply obsessed the idea of "it" was "highschool."

It wasn't.
It was Karakura Town.

>Karakura Town

>anime ends on Ichigo vs Ginjou instead of cutting it off with this right after Aizen
That filler arc sure had some nice animation though

Ichirukifag STILL seething

>This amuses me because Jump actually didn't let Kubo serialize Bleach until YYH ended because even they knew it would draw too many comparisons.
What the fuck are you even talking about? YYH finished up back in 1994. Kubo didn't even submit Zombie Powder, his first work, till 1999.

if bleach gave us anything even if you disliked it. It gave us GOD TIER openings, endings and OST

SS arc was the peak for Bleach. Kubo fucked up everything after that.

Meme opinions

Why is the tomboy school friend in the pic when she's not even part of the story?

Ask the anime staff

she kind of was that early on

I don't see how ending the anime after Aizen instead of after Ginjou is more pro that than the route they took?

Because she was supposed to be but Kubo changed his mind.

Episode 342 is amazing.

No when you prefer the manga

Kubo never said that

Friendly reminder, Renji pumped Rukia full of cum and impregnated her.

should have ended after Aizen's defeat

Too bad the story wasn't as good.

SS arc was what fucked everything up

The editors changed their mind because they didn't want two Rukias running around

It was what did Bleach manga had good toc rankings and good volume sales even without anime

That sketch of Tatsuki wearing a shinigami uniform is most probably a drawing for a reader who asked for it, something like "please Kubo-sensei, draws Tatsuki like a shinigami and with what would be her zanpakuto".
At least, that image of Tatsuki is in the Souls databook, and there are variuos other images of this kind of autographs too, and there is said that they were drawn fot the Jump Festa, Anime Tour, or given as gifts to readers.

Aizen is gay user

doesn't it make you wonder what kind of power sleeps within his son since he's that and his mother's what she is?

Orihime is a fullbringer

Well he should be a fullbringer since both of his parents survived a hollow attack. He should be a half-blood quincy and is obviously already a soul reaper. So he's basically just Ichigo again.
Fullbrings aren't hereditary though. See above.
Don is some All Might shit

A fullbringer/shinigami/hollow/quiincy hybrid mates with a fullbringer = the child being a broken motherfucker

Meanwhile his new childhood friend and possible love interest is but a mere shinigami even if she's a prodigy

This is a lot of autism. Fullbringer powers already are just hollow powers and out of all of those only quincy powers are heritable. I didn't know we let six-year-olds post on Yea Forums.

Have you noticed how every bleach opening is cluttered with characters to the top? The Bleach openings are great but I hated that, the only openings that only use a handful of characters are the 1st, because the cast was small yet you don't see EVERY character in it and the 7th youtube.com/watch?v=OvahxFH7IGg where the only extra characters are the espada which were important to the arc anyway. Every other opening needs to introduce every fucking character and then there is this clusterfuck of an opening, probably the worst one youtube.com/watch?v=rUuHxyYqUSU

>When was she EVER implied to be a Fullbringer in the manga?

Fullbring- drawing out the soul of a treasured object using resident Hollow powers inherited at birth

Shun Shun Rikka- an object treasured by Orihime that she can activate at will, stated to be similar to the powers of Hachigen (a Visard)

Gee user I wonder how we reached this conclusion...

Why does it look like Toshiro is flipping someone off just off camera?

For God's sake, someone find an actual author to pair Kubo up with. Give Kubo free reins to focus on art and designs. Let the author write the story.

Why?

Because the story in Bleach clearly got away from Kubo. Keep him on art and design duty.

>Because the story in Bleach clearly got away from Kubo
How?

no

there's nothing /fa/ about everyone wearing the same robes

No?

Good thing that doesn't happen

imagine thinking the soul society didnt obviously ruin bleach. the concept could've been done ok (see negima, a manga from around the same time which in spite of its flaws does a similar shift from school to fantasy world but more smoothly)

the issue is that the soul society is fucking boring. the afterlife for everything on earth just being feudal japan is hokey as fuck and 80% of the cast now wearing the same outfit (with most of the badguys wearing their own similar uniforms) ruins a lot of the visual appeal

yes

;_;

>society is fucking boring
Human world is boring
>80% of the cast now wearing the same outfit (with most of the badguys wearing their own similar uniforms)
Wrong

>Human world is boring
and the soul society, which is just the human world but without cell phones, is way better? there's nothing especially fantastic about it beyond the superpowers that people were already using in the real world

Both the human world and Soul Society were cool in Bleach, the problem is there wasn't enough of a mix between them after the Soul Society arc. They just separated and then went into Hueco Mundo which is truly a completely uninteresting shithole.

He had those powers before becoming a visard.

The anime staff were HUGE Rukafags

SS arc is what catapulted Bleach but the problem was that basically Kubo's peak which we didn't know for a while

No

SS is massively overrated

"Ichigo facing the Rukia"

You only think that because people like it too much even though it's for good reason.

We only ever see him use dimensional manipulation when he's wearing his mask (once against the Gillians, and once again against Barragan)

We see other Fullbring with similar types of abilities as well (Riruka and Yukio)

SS wasn't the peak, it was the downfall.

The soul society arc was good too. Soul society is an interesting place, it's just Kubo is the worst writer ever and whenever he gets stuck he just introduces a fuckload of new characters in a group hoping the story will write itself.

Thats an overstatement, Hitsugaya really didn't get that much more panel time than the other captains.

Not even close to comparable in terms of sheer plot convenience. It was bad enough to revive Gaara in exchange for a throwaway arc character, but the ending of the Pain arc was unforgiveable.

Not the entire village

The scaleless

It doesn't need to be implied, its a fact

Kensei's quote here is really all you need to confirm Orihime's power is hollow-based

No man and woman are this close without being in love with each other, or family.

Kubo never brought back anybody that was 100% confirmed dead that were even remotely as plot relevant as Gaara or Kakashi.
Except for maybe the one(1) exception that might be Yhwach with the unending bullshit that is the almighty. That only lasted like half a chapter even then.

SS is the entire realm. In the seireitei only shinigami live, the rest live in the rukongai districts

Shinigami have a high occupational hazard, also its more rare for a soul to have the capability to become a Shinigami.

Its implied in Burn the Witch that other Soul Societies exist, not just the East Branch. Rukongai is also much larger than what you're thinking of; most of what we see is right outside of Seireitei which itself is about the size of a city.

OP will link you to it.

>soul society so fucking small
Kubo never said the size of SS.
But, you know, what with it being a separate dimension with its own stars and what not, small is not how I would describe it.

Here's how bleach could've played out if they stuck to dealing with the real world
>1st arc is karakura
>2nd arc features various japanese islands like hokkaido and kyushu
>3rd arc onwards each feature a city with a significant supernatural history like Paris with its catacombs

For what purpose? Its not as if Ichigo was the sole Shinigami to deal with such things; do you really not understand Soul Society was something planned since the beginning?

Attached: Kubo TAME.jpg (1280x720, 224K)

When I say small, I mean the number of people living there. And iirc, in the TYBW arc the number of shinigami in the entire Gotei 13 was stated.

They were obviously talking out of their ass user.

Yeah, after the war the number of Shinigami dropped from 6k to something like 3k. But thats just Shinigami, not the entire population of Soul Society.

When they went back and did an arc in the human world everyone hated it so much Kubo had to cut it short by having the captains show up and shitstomp the fullbringers

>Human cast is there despite becoming irrelevant to the plot so quick
>Still remain in the OPs and EDs despite only appearing in filler episodes.

Keigo, Mizuiro and Tatsuki were mainstays of the first arc, which is why they're in the first OP. If you're trying to say Uryu, Chad and Orihime stopped being relevant then you're just wrong.
