Bleach

Genuinely the only time when i was pleasantly surprised by shonen (turned out he was strongest Espada anyway but at the time it was a good twist)

Yea this twist aged bad, like pretty much everything.

On topic, I would say Aizen being badguy

it was a neat shot undercut by the fact nobody had any idea what her bankai did and people were arguing if it was acid, healing, illusions, some combination of the three, or something else entirely

It's probably acid that can melt or heal based on what she wants. Her shikai ability heals with the manta ray's stomach acid so its an expansion of that.

Amything Aizen is cheating so I will have to go with espada 0

Aizen reveal is still kino, even after all this time.

>I'm actually the strongest Espada lelelele
>Fight gets offscreened
>Kenpachi says it was lame
Should've kept him at number 10 and let Chad or Uryuu kill him so they at least got to do something in the latter half of the Arrancar arc.

Isshin being a captain or Ginjou's betrayal.

One of the funniest moments I've experienced on Yea Forums.

All shippers are brain damaged

I wonder what caused people to ship Rukia and Ichigo.
They're more like feisty siblings.

>picture turns out to be fake and edited
This one baffles me the most. From my memory the fake drawing looked exactly like Ichika. So did someone who got actual spoilers do quick art of her just to fuck with people for a few hours? Is my memory bad?

Projection. I have a friend who claims that Ichigo clearly had a crush on Rukia in the first arc...and I'm just like, where? Where is that implied at all?

Yes. It's happened numerous times (mostly with WSJ series), a person gets to see the magazine a few days early but can't take a photo or scan it, so they try to draw the spoilers from memory.

Blame the anime

>the fake drawing looked exactly like Ichika.
It was an edited panel. They used younger Nemu from the second to last chapter as the template.

>So did someone who got actual spoilers do quick art of her just to fuck with people for a few hours?
That's pretty much what happened. A Japanese fan did it.

Later on the anime staff were clearly shipping them in OP/ED but i legitimately can't remember a single moment from the first arc in the anime that implies Ichigo was attracted to Rukia. He's annoyed with her at first, and eventually becomes friends with her. Nothing implies attraction or a crush.

>but i legitimately can't remember a single moment from the first arc in the anime
There's a bunch of filler shit later in the anime. The ice-skating filler and the hug from the film are the most popular.

Rukias decaying face

I understand that. My friend was saying that the FIRST ARC had moments that implied Ichigo had a crush on her and I'm saying I don't remember anything like that in the FIRST ARC.

To be fair. Rukia and Orihime received an equal number of shipping ED/OPs.
Gallop by Pezmoku is focused on Rukia.
ED 5 Life by Yui is focused on Orihime.

Meanwhile 0 shipping for Tatsuki. What's wrong with Pierrot?

>FIRST ARC had moments that implied Ichigo had a crush on her
I remember when he found her in SS, after she apologized to Kakaku, there's a scene the anime did differently. When Rukia tells him she wants to stay in SS, Ichigo tightens his hands into fists and they were shaking. The way the anime handled it made it seem like Ichigo didn't want her to stay whereas in the manga he's completely fine with her decision.

Tatsuki has the exact same relationship with Ichigo that Rukia does. Close friend/bro that happens to be female.

When Ichigo was going to Urahara´s shop to go to SS he rans into Orihime and they talk a bit in the manga.
The anime removed Orihime and made Ichigo have flashbacks of the times with Rukia

The anime also changed up the first interaction between Ichigo and Orihime.

So anime readers got baited into RukiaxIchigo's shipping.
Guess it pays back to read just the manga then.

it was kubo himself doing fan art of his own manga

Reposting since the other thread is dead
>try to read bleach because I love jjk and gege has a boner for it
>read 31 volumes and drop it
I will never understand how bleach's abuse of the rule of cool out weighs the shitty writing. I read a chapter where one of aizen's minions didn't kill Chad because "it'd be a waste of time" that makes no fucking sense. Ichigo and Co are there only to fuck up aizens plans and this guy doesn't do it because it's not worth the time to swing his blade? But he's killed hundreds of others but this one exception is because he's bored? How do you stomach this writing? Whats the point of putting characters into situations where they are clearly meant to die just to bring them out of it by believing in themselves really really hard?

>what the fuck? why am I still reading this shit
that one

fuck off attention whore

What's the point of getting upset over someone who doesn't like the same manga as you? You're clearly upset because I said something you disagree with. Stop replying to me if you don't want me posting here kek

So we're IchiRukis just animeonlies all along?

pernida

Way the fuck back in the day when the anime was first airing and people pointed out that her voice actress had played a few secret psychos, and then the manga and side comics just leaned into the gag harder, so this just felt completely obvious when he finally revealed it

Still the greatest anime twist of all time. Was shocked in 2005, still is great.

the entire last arc was a wild ride
it would be better Hinamori would actually died, how many times was she stabbed in the manga?

Cumming deep inside Orihime right now, lads.

Starrk taking off his glove and revealing that big number 1 on his hand. He was the espada I had come to like, so him being #1 came as a very welcome wtf moment.

Biggest shocker was Kubo left subtle details in showing that the night that Aizen betrayed the soul society he had sex with Momo. Canon.

Congratz Ichigo

>villain can stop theme music

kubo intended for Hinamori, Hitsugaya, and Byakuya to all die in the SS arc but backed off due to editor advise

I still refuse to believe Nel or Harribel are stronger than him.

Thanks for reminding me of the days fun was allowed.

Nel isn't since she was outranked lately by other spadas but Harribel in release is stronger than first release Ulquiorra, second release ulquiorra was as strong as Barragan/Starrk possibly.

First Kenpachi.

>Hitsugaya, and Byakuya
Which other captains would replace them?
