Why is early Bleach so comfy?
Because there was no status quo. Casual Rukia and Ichigo was maximum comfy.
Despite all the shit I give him and this piece of shit manga Kubo is actually good at comedy
How many ambulances?
>>140803319
It hadn't yet delved into power level bullshit
Everything turned to shit the second Renji and Byakuya showed up
It turned into a gag manga after soul society arc,
There wasn't any retarded powerlevels.
Bleach would've been way better as an SoL with the occasional soul reaping.
Because it was fresh. Then Kubo couldn't come up with any more ideas so he devolved it into an "introduce a billion characters with paper-thin depth" powerlevel fest.
Because it wasn't confusing nonsense like it eventually became.
It was just a nice story about a guy and his group of friends trying to rescue a girl.
>>140805772
Five (5!) ambulances!
>>140803319
>it didnt become series about punk gang that hunts lost souls in night
MIYAGETA
No chapter this week?
Ichigo and his friends were the oldest looking 15 year olds I've ever seen.
They all love like college students.
>>140806295
piss week
>>140803319
What the hell is happening with this series now? I haven't read it since Ichigo's mom was a quincy or some shit
>>140806548
Retarded asspulls.
>>140805865
nah as dumb as bleach is now SoL would be shit just look at how boring rin-ne is even inu yasha fan hate it
>>140803319
why do you people keep using the word comfy its getting retarded
>>140806548
Lots of new bankais and even more asspulls. Also, we've almost run out of enemies at the current point. Ichigo vs. bad guy soon.
>>140806218
>art is good
>coloring is funky fresh

>>140809418
but it's still entertaining as fuck, it's just evolved to the point where every chapter has a new retarded asspull more ridiculous than the rest. Seeing what kind of ridiculous asspull will beat the newest one has become enjoyment in itself.
>>140803319
>Comfy

Speedreader fuck off.
nostalgia
It's shit.
>>140803319
There's nothing comfy about hollows, anon. Those things are terrifying. Do you see their faces?
>>140810385
I know this, I'm condensing my sentence to make it easier for someone unfamiliar with it to understand why I enjoy it.
>>140810316
Took me until now to realize that Karin is unknowingly speaking those words to someone who suffered the same thing.
Man
Is Bleach deep or am I just retarded? Even after ten years I pick up stuff I didn't notice before.
>>140806548
did Grand Fisher Know she was a Qunicy?
>>140806357
You've never seen JoJo have you?
>>140803319
Because it has the best start of the big 3. Shame that editors made Kubo throw in a bunch of stupid shit when he originally planned on keeping it pretty much like early Bleach throughout the whole thing.
>>140806122
>Five (5!)
So which is it anon? 5 or 120?
Ichigo wasn't so overpowered and the plot didn't need to be about saving the entire world in order for the stakes to be high.
Also left or right?
>>140812222
>implying there's even a choice when Yoruichi is on the ballot
>>140810316
God damn I miss that old drawing style. While Kubo's recent work is beautiful, I love how sharp everything looks in his older stuff.
>>140803319
Bleach was good back then the Soul Society arc was the best arc of the series by far. The Arrancar arc was good but far too long, it should have ended after this arc. Everything after this is shit.
KUBOOOOOOOOO
>>140811513
This is actuallly one of Kubo's talents. There are so many hidden pieces and comments in Bleach that can be easily forgotten or overlooked. Though admittedly many of these only become relevant in the final arc.
>>140806909
People always say how many asspulls there are in Bleach, but they never say what exactly these asspulls are.
>>140813603
Unfortunately he mostly uses it to pick the low lying fruit though.
Shame.
Soul Society Arc >>>>>>>>>>>>> Hueco Mundo Arc >>>>>>>> Last Arc >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Fillers >>>>>>>>>>>>>>> FanFictions >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Fullbring arc (Canc€r Arc).
I stopped reading Bleach years ago, but I still browse the threads every once in a while to see how much of the discussion I can understand.
>>140814247
>Mexico arc above anything
Come on now. This was the pinnacle of Kubo's God awful pacing.
No other arc moved as sluggish.
At least the Fullbring arc was short.
>>140814336
Tell me the most retarded thing you think Kubo could have done from where you left off and I'll let you know how close you are to the truth of what is happening right now.
>>140814391
I'm still mad the editors rushed Kubo and he had to make Ashido noncanon. That motherfucker was supposed to be canon REEEEEEEEEEEE
>>140814395
Ichigo shacks up with that green-haired loli from Hueco Mundo?
>>140810385
>every shinigami power up is perfectly suited to win the current fight
Foreshadowed or not, these are still asspulls
>>140814482
hahaha Little do you know, she semi-recently made Orihime jealous as fuck
>>140814420
Maybe if Kubo wasn't a fight scene autist things could have been better.
>>140814533
Orihime wasn't jealous. She was worried why Urahara would give Nel the option to return into a child. Chad had to reassure that it wasn't what she was thinking about. Though given how Urahara drugged Yoruichi and enjoyed her changed behavior, Orihime's worries were justified.
>>140803319
I startet rereading the manga.
It was so good back then.
>>140814597
Orihime was jealous as fuck.
Stop Excuses!
Because it's yu yu hakusho
Rukia is cute.
>>140814804
She wasn't. She had that look when Nel wondered why Urahara gave her the option to return into child form.
Orihime hated herself for being jealous at Rukia. There is no way she would be jealous at Nel.
>>140814944

Ｂｅｃａｕｓｅ ＲＵＫＩＡ。
>>140814492
Kubo apologists ignore that foreshadowing can be done badly and to an excess.
>tfw Bleach isn't a shounen about the fashion industry
>tfw Kubo will never have an excuse to draw as much fashionable clothing as he wants
>tfw Bleach's title will never make sense
>>140817849
pretty much
>>140817759
Unlike shitposters, who just ignore foreshadowing.
>>140817849
the title is either
>a reference to ichigos hair
>how rukias clothes were bleached when she lost her powers
>something vague about death and hollows
It would be too much to ask for, but i think it'd be amazing if the bankai2 designs were all kubos fashions from the cover pages
>>140817849
>>140818063
>>140818158
I've read that explanation before. Doesn't mean it makes sense.
>>140818259
What doesn't make sense about the given explanation?
>>140818259
yeah, it's non sequitur apart from the fact that they're both colors
>>140818362
>it's non sequitur apart from the fact that they're both colors
Would you have preferred a more literal explanation in the title? "Shinigami Sword Fights"?
>>140818158
>we never got a full edge super chuuni ichigo with a scythe
KUBOOOO
>>140811640
With her powers sealed she was like normal human. So probably not.
Was GF shown in the isshin flashback? I dont remember
>>140818917
Masaki had lost her own Quincy powers to Yhwach's Auchwalen, but was unaware that they had been taken. This is explained to Ichigo by Isshin at the back end of EBTR
I just want this shit to end so we can have another NaruHina-esque tearfest.
>>140819049
Nah, unlike Kishi, Kubo will never decide on a canon pairing. Shipping in Bleach is an entirely pointless endeavor.
>>140819049
Renji/Rukia and Ichihime is pretty much confirmed sadly. I prefer IchiRuki but Kubo is going to be a "childhood friend" fag.
Is there a chapter this week?
>>140819355
>what is Golden Week
>>140818500
Hng
>>140819439
Fuck totally forgot.
>>140819596
The good news is there's nothing to discuss. The bad news is there's nothing to discuss.
>>140819628
Is Chad gonna be relevant again? One of the best buds with kickass powers is currently pushed to late dbz kuririn tier...
>>140819699
Chad is only ever relevant in the context of Ichigo. He probably won't get a proper fight this arc, unless we go back to his tag team with Ganju.
>>140803319
It just proves that sometimes simplicity is more enjoyable than shoving hundreds of characters at your face and jumping around between them a lot.
>>140814336
I can't understand any of it. I stopped reading sometime after the fullbring stuff where the shinigami came in to fight them. New Bleach updates looks completely foreign to me.
>>140819049
People still care that much about Bleach shipping? I know Naruto fandom was autisically obsessed with it but it doesn't seem that huge in Bleach compared to years ago.
Man i really used to enjoy this series. I dropped it when we got 3 straight chapters of flashbacks for some bazz b faggot who i dont give a fuck about. I did read shunsui's, urahara's, and kenpachi's bankais though
>>140817884
Low quality foreshadowing is not as important as you think it is.
>>140820858
>Low quality shitposting is not as important as you think it is.
>>140820936
>everyone that disagrees with me is a shitposter
Is this your mind's only escape mechanism whenever you're confronted with disagreement?
>>140820985
You'd need to present a coherent thought before even calling this a "disagreement".
>>140821035
I did, you just don't like it. Kubo worshipers are so eager to defend their favorite manga that they'll search and grasp for any form of foreshadowing they could find so that they could say that "x is foreshadowed" and be technically correct, as though this somehow exempts Kubo's horrible writing from criticism. Kubo might never admit that he's ad libbing much of his plot but you have to be willingly blind to believe otherwise.
>>140821317
>I did
No, you didn't, or at least not related to the topic.
Dumb shitposter.
>>140821317
>favorite manga
hahaha anon, pls. We all hate it. We only keep reading because we've already invested so much of our time into it that we can't back out now. We just want closure.
>>140821413
I'm starting to think I'm the one being trolled here. Keep believing that everything was planned and foreshadowed since the first chapter if it helps you sleep at night.

What are you talking about, anon? Inoue and Tatsuki are the only ones in that image who AREN'T dead.
I really wish it had stayed a small time SoL with ghost hunting. If that meant it had to have died way sooner than it did. Good. It was a hundred times better than what happened during and past the SS arc.
>>140803319
Early on, the only hate people came up with for it was "it's just another Yu Yu Hakusho."

>>140824981
The only one of those four that is wearing acceptable clothing is the bitch.
the rest of them are def autismo
You know, Bleach is kinda dull, but when a character makes a speech and the combination of them talking and the music made for some interesting scenes. Off the top of my head I can remember Urahara teaching Ichigo about resolve, Hollow Ichigo talking about the king and the horse and illusion kenpachi talking about battle. I kinda wish they explored the question he asked, does Ichigo get stronger so that he doesn't have to fight or does he get stronger so that he can fight?
Through I didn't really care for the lil wayne guard's speech about zanpakuto not being a soul reapers, buddy, lover, comrade, associate, servant or anything like that, what was he trying to say, that the spirit of a zanpakuto is just another side of the person wielding it?
>>140803319
It was fucking boring, especially Chad and his parrot and abuello.
>>140818432
>>140818362
Unless you account for Bleachigo.
>>140826672
>Through I didn't really care for the lil wayne guard's speech about zanpakuto not being a soul reapers, buddy, lover, comrade, associate, servant or anything like that, what was he trying to say, that the spirit of a zanpakuto is just another side of the person wielding it?
I interpreted that as the Zanpakuto inherited a part of that person, not that it was just the person.
>...does Ichigo get stronger so that he doesn't have to fight or does he get stronger so that he can fight?
And I like to think that it's both.

What is Uryu even wearing? Looks like a tee with a scarf under a green hoodie tied around his waist under a black two-piece jacket under a loosely worn orange hoodie. With jeans. What the fuck man.
I've only read like the first 80 chapters of Bleach years ago. Does Ichigo and crew still go to school?
Can we all agree that the main problem with Bleach is how literally EVERY character is infinitely more interesting then Ichigo? He has no unique powers other then shooting energy, meanwhile literally everyone else has a more unique power and personality.
>>140818500
Rukia was supposed to be the one with the scythe, and she gets it in one of the movies too.
>>140830178
That's the best part about bleach, every chapter with Ichigo (And no Rukia) is boring as fuck.
>>140830250
>>That's the best part about bleach
You're a dumbass
The answer to this problem would have been for Ichigo to have an actual power that isn't just shooting boring as shit energy blast.
>>140814533
Another speedreader.
>>140814533
How many years and months ago was this?
>>140829515
Damn, why is Bleach OPs, EDs and soundtrack so good? I never saw an anime with better.
>>140832010
So what you're saying is you haven't watched many shows?
It had a unique identity and wasn't DBZ
>>140832034
Honestly, not as much that I wanted, I started watching animes in 2014 December but already have 40 days in MAL.
>>140823857
Fullbringer was pretty good, very much like early Bleach. I hate the fact that Jump readers are so shit in their taste they can't handle non-Fantasy settings.
I just wanted cool kids protecting their town from ghosts
>>140832098
It wasn't good, was just a normal, look this link(https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6674593/1/Hichigo-King-Of-Hollows) and you'll see the wasted potential of the arc(but keep your shit filter on, there is a lot of crap there).
>>140830025
I liked the Bount Arc for a couple of reasons.
1. Finally got shinigami characters hanging out in the real world with Ichigo And Friends.
2. The Bount weapons were somewhat interesting, though I didn't really care for the backstory.
3. Ishida got some screentime and development that was nice to see.
4. The music was pretty good.
5. Ririn.
is Noragami any good?
>>140832181
There is also the point that Ichigo is growing in strength, better than he backing from SS and going straight to fight an Vasto Lorde
>>140809418
Jojo fashion is mostly awful.
>>140812405
>Aizen smiling in the back

dude I'd fucking kill to have Zombiepowder continued
>>140833678
>I just want Tatsuki to get some screentime
Considering how Kubo has developed a taste for asspulls, she might very well win the Ichigo at the end. That or she was under Aizen orders from the begining.
WSJ manga spoilers have begun to appear. Looks like we're getting an early chapter.
>>140822176
I don't recall any of them dying.
I remember only Yamato and Kira, but later one got resurrected.
Early Bleach is genuinely one of my favourite mangas.
Something about the humour and the way the characters interacted really appealed to me. Shame the series ended up loosing that aspect.
Pic related. I absolutely loved the relationship these two had. Not necessarily in a romantic way before the shipperfags crucify me.
>>140833819
Post them aniki.
>>140834022
Only the fake ones have surfaced for Bleach. The ones that are out now have been out since late Tuesday. It ends with Gerard assuming a smaller, but stronger final form.
>>140833985
japanese ghostbusters was the best phase for Bleach. Now that I think about it though, there's really only one path this whole clusterfuck could have taken, its just the fact that the focus on fighting and insane powercreep kinda mars the story a bit
think about it, it went:
>save the good ghosts, kill the bad ghosts arc
>where do the "good" guys come from? arc
>where do the bad ghosts come from? arc
>are there any other special humans? arc
>history of the "good" guys arc
It's just the logical progression of questions, with the obvious "the hell happened to the quincys?" tied in with the "good guys" history arc
>>140819049
i believe in Theory "Ichigo Reioh", but maybe IchiRuki 'll win because is most popular in Japan.
>>140834314
Maybe but I think this arc
>where do the bad ghosts come from? arc
Was far too long and had had way too many bad guys. An exploration of hell would have been interesting here.
and this arc.
>are there any other special humans? arc
again, didn't need to introduce so many new characters.
Bleach could have been an interesting, fun series but at the end of the day its shounen jump so it was inevitable it would turn into a powerlevels, bankai of the week bore fest because that what Japanese kids like.
>>140832181
Bount arc had it's upsides. Like smug Rukia.
It's always Rukia, isn't it.
>>140834541
>it was inevitable it would turn into a powerlevels, bankai of the week bore fest
I can't say its a borefest, but it definitely falls into that stereotypical shonen formula
also I get the feeling that the bad ghosts arc was supposed to be a grand finale of sorts but kubo remembered at the last minute that he never really explained what happened to the quincys and had to give Ichigo his powers back, also Riruka is great and almost makes up for the fullbringer arc
Also, the fuck happened to Kon? haven't seen that nigga in forever
So who are the strongest shinigami now?
>>140834916
Kenpachi, Shunsui and Ichibe. Ichigo doesn't count as a pure shinigami, nor does Aizen. But both are stronger.
>>140834916
Alive? probably Ichigo, Kenpachi and Shunsui
The royal guard, Yamamoto, Unohana, Ukitake and Gin if we're counting the dead
>>140832010
Does Bleach have a handful of visually impressive EDs? Can't really recall any save for the last one.

Shunsui is overrated, his Bankai isn't that good
>>140835055
Gin is low-tier m8
>>140837271
You're gonna need bigger bait, anon.
>>140837372
Shunsui has a one-hit kill but it takes time to activate
Gin is a good character but weak compared to most captains, he only has the element of surprise but his abilities are bland as fuck.
>>140833985
What the hell happened to Ichigo? I actually liked him back then, now he's not even a character, he hasn't been a character since after the soul society arc. In fact, I could say the same for Uryu,Chad,Renji,Rukia and Orihime. It's like Kubo went full in on the popularity of the soul reaper characters and never looked back and only keep Ichigo and them around because they were useful for wasting time while he figures out what he wants to do next.
>>140837422
Gin has the fastest one hit kill of any known captain. Shunsui's shikai is as strong as most bankai, not to mention his horrendously broken bankai which is a guaranteed kill against anyone but Lille and maybe Aizen. The activation time is negligible compared to its result
>>140837763
It was never said anywhere that Gin could activate his bankai's poison from superficial injuries like scratches and such. In a fair fight, most captains would be able to evade Gin's attacks.
>>140837831
Thats conjecture, anon.
>>140837982
Assuming he can activate his bankai from a small wound is also speculation.
Gin's like a sniper, his abilities aren't for direct combat. Every time we've seen him do something meaningful, it was a surprise attack.
>>140838045
That's still assuming a fair fight in a manga where there are none.
>>140836238

>>140830025
Bleach filler was way better than Naruto. If the writers had access to canon material for powerups and didnt have to reuse the same shinigamis over and over it would have been just as good as the storyline.
>>140833678
>dude I'd fucking kill to have Zombiepowder continued
Kubo will probably remake it when bleach is over.
>>140803319
Because it was focused on one little case after another in one town.
Also, does anybody have have the 'shit got real' poster that proves that the Final Arc is the 3rd best arc of the series? An updated version nonetheless.
>>140814247
I would say:
SOul Society arc
Pre Reaper arc
Final Arc
Hueco Mundo Arc
Fake Karakura Town arc
Fullbring arc
>>140814987

What's even the end goal of Bleach? The other two of the big three both had a clearly established objective from the beginning. (Pirate King/Hokage)
>>140843964
It was essentially for the main character to deal with the problems that the world had:
>Hollows
>Soul Reapers
>Arrancars
>Vizards
>Fullbringers
>QUnicies
>God
>>140843964
Self forgiveness. Ichigo has a lot of issues with guilt and each arc tends to reflect on that a different way. Its not a simple goal like treasure or rank, hence why kids tend to not follow Bleach and regularly ask dumb questions like you are now.
>>140843964
Ichigo wants to protect people. He says it himself right in the beginning; he doesn't want to be a soul reaper, but he won't just sit by and watch people get hurt if he has the power to do something about it. That's all there is to it.
>>140844626

I just read it, and I thought, damn, he's making sense.
>>140846861
I miss seeing her in a dress. Did she even end up wearing that dress Ishida made for her?
>>140818158
>Kubo trying to sound smarter then he usually is
I like that other theory Kubo got the title while listening to Nirvana's Bleach album.
>>140847572
>projecting
>>140846858
Renji so dumb man hahaha. The dumb fuck thought he would impress Rukia by acting all macho and kicking her around a little when he and Byakuya went to retrieve her from Karakura town.
I still hate that guy man
>>140843964
Why does having an established goal from the start matter? it suddenly makes a series bad if it doesn't have one?
>soul society - saving rukia
>arrancar arc - beating aizen and subplot of orihime
>fullbring - getting Ichigo's powers back and characterization for Ichigo
>bloodwar - quincy, soul king and shinigami resolution

This is the best page Kubo has ever drawn.
Literally everything about it is 100% perfect.

Fucking a ghost isn't the same as fucking a corpse. In fact, every time you jizzed in your pants while you slept, it was because of a ghost blowjob.
>>140848541
You okay?
>>140848457
ghost blowjob woowoowoo
>>140848195
Yes.
>>140848836
See >>140844626
And >>140844684
Every major arc directly ties back into Ichigos messiah complex caused by the loss of his mother, and/or similar motivations of characters such as Rukia, Orihime, ect.
I always wondered, how can Soul Reapers die? They are already dead.
Also, can people be born into the soul society or is everyone in the soul society dead?
And if Soul Reapers and souls in the society can die, where do they go?
>>140849011
>And if Soul Reapers and souls in the society can die, where do they go?
They're...BORN
DUN DUN DUN!!!!
>>140849045
That's not actual stupid.
>>140803319
Because the story was straightforward and the characters developed. The generic Hollows were far more creative than the humanoid antagonists in succeeding arcs.
>>140848340
>we will never see Rukia in a high school uniform again
;_;
>>140849011
Read the manga you filthy Frodo faggot
>>140849454
I used to, but I haven't in a while.
>>140849011
Corpse=/=soul. Ergo, nobody in Soul Society is dead. They live as souls until they die.
>>140849518
So what happens when they die?
>>140849545
They're reborn in the Human world, unless they were eaten by a Hollow. In which case they're gone. Zilch.
>>140849545
Allegedly their spirit matter is recycled into new souls for the living world, but most of what we know about the reincarnation cycle (aka the Soul King) is kind of sketch and unreliable.
>>140806548
It's become Dragon Ball with stupid looking swords and less muscle.
Nobody knows who I really am
>>140849741
I never felt this empty before
>>140830025
I actually got dissapointed when I realized that this arc was filler and it was never mentioned later as a kid. It wasn't as good as the other ones but I really enjoyed some parts.
>>140843964
Bleach follows a pre-One Piece shounen formula where the protag has no major goal.
>>140846858
his new bankai is cool on it's own but it's shit in comparison to the last one. He even fucks that up.
I like last arc. It's probably best thing happened to Bleach.
>>140843964
>What's even the end goal of Bleach? The other two of the big three both had a clearly established objective from the beginning.
Id argue and end goal is worse if you're not gonna actually make any real developments towards it
One piece has been going for how long and they still haven't resolved what amounts to a treasure hunt?
>>140850125
His bendy sword was always lame compared to other swords that grant magical powers.
>>140850236
>they still haven't resolved what amounts to a treasure hunt?
The adventure is the prize
>>140850270
That's a lame cliche
>>140850297
One Piece has gotten fairly lame itself
>>140850236
One piece doesn't really have plot progression it's like samurai jack he's not actually supposed to kill aku except in the final episode.
>>140850270
Except Oda already said it's not that.
>>140850361
Then it's the straw hat that symbolized adventure for Gold Roger and Luffy
>>140850266
Nigger he had a huge fucking snake as a bankai, maybe his shikai was lame but the bankai is cool as fuck

Why are the bleachfags suddenly so active these past couple months? wtf happened?
>>140850432
It's a slow ass snake made out of plastic it doesn't do anything and it crumbles like a bitch whenever someone looks at it.
>>140850488
Because you've only been on /a/ for that long? We've had weekly chapter threads for years now.
>>140850488
>wtf
Kill yourself

>>140850332
Samurai Jack also isn't like 800 episodes.
Outlaw Star told a story about an expansive treasure hunt in space, had time for silly filler episodes, character drama, action and it was only 26 episodes long.
>>140850700
Not depending one piece in particular here but long-running series are Shounen Jumps bread and butter.
>>140850756
Defending*
>>140803319
Kubo still kinda had his shit together back then. Than he lost al of his marbles.
>>140814847
I don't think Kubo even realised that.
