Thread 279897837

Let's talk about Rukia.
Do you like her character?
Do you think she is useful or interesting?
Do you think she is beautiful or cool?

>>279897837 (OP)
Best WSJ female character by far.

>>279897837 (OP)
She's great.

She's like everything about Bleach. Great look and great idea but always lacking good execution.

>>279897837 (OP)
Best girl and her best ship

Ichigo stop

>>279898093
Amazing how Kubo wasted her but the anime side saw her potential.

What if...

>>279898356
>male rukia looks exactly the same
cant make this shit up

yes. yes. yes.

>>279898756
fuck off with your AI slop

>>279898115
TRUE!

>>279897837 (OP)
Yeah to me Rukia is moreso Bleach than Ichigo. I like other girls like Soi Fon and Unohana better but whenever I think of Bleach, my mind conjures the image of Rukia silhouetted against the full moon on top of a light pole, followed by recalling the first opening song.

Random question, was it ever explained why white was so psycho in personality? Or does Ichigo have a inner desire to destroy/fight others?

>>279899578
>does the character shown to be a delinquent in the first episode have an inner desire to be violent towards others?

>>279899661
He never wanted to kill them though. White desires to kill off his enemies.

I have never read or watched Bleach, and I never intend to, but I enjoy her sexy little body and flat chest.

>>279898062
I M A G I N E

>>279899715
Zangetsu (because that is who White really is) melded with Ichigo's Shinigami powers as his soul developed, so he deviated from the norm that other Hollows and Zanpakuto spirits follow, being both a reflection of Ichigo as his blade and the hollowfied part of his soul. Hollow's are defined by an aggression born from hunger, and a Zanpakuto reflects its wielder's inner self. Blending those components together gets you White, the part of Ichigo's that desires victory above all else. When you throw away everything to win, it's only natural that you'd be a little crazy

>>279897837 (OP)
I love her and her bankai was the only thing I watched TYBW for. Never liked Orihime.

>>279900390
>That Doujin
Love that one
>but I enjoy her sexy little body and flat chest.
basedddd

>>279900442
He also gets the best fight scenes even in filler. Is there a higher quality version of this moment available?

>>279900719
He gets the best fight scenes in filler because Kubo can't draw out real fight choreography that well. With filler, animators have freedom to go wild.

>>279901238
Kubo is so mediocre

I wanna go back to when this episode was released and the fandom went ballistic. Good times.

>>279900462
Link to the doujinshi?

>>279901733
I'll spoonfeed you a bit, you should be able to find it easily with this information.
>Shall I Save You, Rukia? - By Mosha (RIP)

>>279900448
Orihime may have more meat but Rukia just has this cuteness that you can't replace

>>279903054
Orihime and Rukia at the same time

>>279901548
It's serves as a good final chapter.

73 pounds

>>279903582
the entire show was downhill from this arc

>>279899578
Zangetsu is part hollow

>>279897837 (OP)
She's /a/ royalty.

>>279897837 (OP)
She was designated jobber and nothing more.

>>279903764
Yeah, jobbing to my cock.

>>279903582
Hell verse was based for repeating this

Cute

>>279903719
cute lesbian flag tube top

>>279904477
>>279904721
Has nothing to do with rukia

>>279904721
Man, Chizuru gets THIS?

>>279897837 (OP)
She was the main reason I liked Bleach during the first arc. I kind of wish she hadn't been so loveable so I didn't get baited into 400+ episodes of nonsense spanning two decades but oh well.

>>279897837 (OP)
I like her a lot and it's a shame she's not actually the main girl and doesn't get to do much.

>>279898062
>>279898093
>>279898115
These guys get it.

>>279897837 (OP)
I like she does her husband's, Renji, braids.

>>279905097
Holy fuckin' cute and canon! IRcucks malding for all eternity.

>>279905097
Literal cope and will never be animated

IchiRuki outa nowhere!!

>>279897837 (OP)
I like her daughter she made with her husband Renji.

>>279905414
Jobber incoming

>>279905414
>points her zanpakuto at a kid
What a cunt

>>279905414
Rukia and Renji were doing what!?

Isn't it weird how Rukia and Soi Fon look similar...from a distance?

When I first read Bleach I thought Rukia had sexual tension with her brother.

>>279897837 (OP)
Unpopular opinion: I don't her bankai that much, I don't think it's beautiful and elegant enough, and I hope Kubo changes its design the next time we see it.

>>279905534
*don't like

>>279897837 (OP)
I love Rukia but hate ichiruki, I hate how much her name is dragged down in endless shipping wars.

>>279905534
I also wish it had been a different design but then again I wish that entire arc had been different.

>>279905534
She looks prettier with this cover dress

>>279905688
Holy shit, somebody give her a sandwich please, that's not healthy.

Kubo kinda forgot about Rukia after SS. She’s either jobbing or not that important to the plot.

>>279898062
How did she even gave birth with that body, must have been incredibly painful.

>>279897837 (OP)
I guess my unpopular opinion is that she actually got treated better than other characters in the final arc despite her limited screen time.

>>279905775
Something Elsa's style looks good on her too

>>279905761
there's probably a kido for instant childbirth. medicine is easy when your top doctors are also archwizards

>>279905733
>>279905775
>>279905802
All of this looks worse than her actual bankai and it's too western to fit in her character design.

If you shoot cum at her while in her Bankai she'd die

>>279905799
>Achieved bankai and received a huge power boost with squad zero.
>Defeated and had an impressive show against a mid tier sternritter that previously decimated Byakuya
>Finally acknowledged as a full member of the Gotei 13 by her brother, earning his respect.
>Became captain, is married to her best friend and has a cute daughter.
>Got spared of being humiliated by Ywhach.
Aside from jobbing to Gerard, which to be fair everyone else did too, yeah she actually got the better treatment.

>>279903811
>>279903582
>Carrying smol girl
Was so based

>>279897837 (OP)
Rukia you have a husband stop the attention seeking from strangers.

What manner of food is this?!?!?

>>279905721
You are fat.

>>279901364
Still better than Kishimoto at least. It's crazy how often he does the Hollywood thing where he refuses to show the actual impact.

>>279905721
She isn't that skinny

>>279905827
Kubo himself drew the chapter cover, so it fits her character

>>279906148
Retard, Kubo draws characters wearing cool modern outfits for covers all the time, I'm talking about her in the middle of a battle activating bankai and going from her Shihakusho into a western dress would clash horribly.

Ichigo x Urahara being more popular than Urahara x Yoruichi should be a crime

>>279905097
I thought Kubo was going to say that Ichika grabbed Renji's hair when he has his pony tail and he had to do the braid. That was a popular headcanon.
I didn't expect that about Rukia doing his braid. Inusual Kubo giving extra info. Cute. The popular headcanon was Renji doing Rukia's (and Ichika's) ponytail.

>>279897837 (OP)
Yes I like Rukia

>>279898062
lots of mouth space

>>279905097
>Q: Why did Renji and Rukia's hairstyles change 10 years later? And does Renji do his own braids?
>Kubo: There's no real reason, but Renji's braids are done by Rukia, who does it on her own.

>>279907251
To better fit Renji's dick.

>>279905531
Guarantee you weren't the only one

When?

>>279897837 (OP)
she unironically is what sakura wishes she was in bleach. I don't dislike orihime btw but she is a good character and i can see how people liked her ship with ichigo.

>>279906295
Blame fujos. GrimmIchi is also wildly popular compared to GrimmNel (they have better chemistry, I suppose). See the most popular ships on AO3 for some of the characters.

>>279907251
To better fit Ichigos dick.

>>279906295
Blame fujos. GrimmIchi is also wildly popular compared to GrimmNel (they have better chemistry, I guess?). See pic related for the most popular ships on AO3 for some of the characters.

>>279907956
>Ichiruki continues to stay number one
Beyond based

>>279907968
Only when it comes to Rukia; girls tend to get straight pairings as their mains. Ichigo, meanwhile, is more commonly shipped with Grimmjow, Urahara and Byakuya than with Rukia. Y'know, degenerate fujo stuff, as per usual.

>>279907990
She's still dominating so i'm not upset takes a lot when most of the grimmichi stuff is just from the same one author that spams that crap along with ichiHara

>>279897837 (OP)
Good character stuck in a shitty manga made by an author with a massive ego.

>>279907990
Your information is out of date. IchiRuki has overtaken the other two yaoi ships.
>>279908010
Blame Ichigo for being a fanon bicycle. His straight ships are decently popular. There's only a few males who actually get more attention with their M/F ships, like Toushirou (Karin, Momo and Rangiku), Gin (Rangiku as first), Isshin (hardly gets any ship stories, but mostly Masaki) and Ulquiorra (Orihime dominates, unsurprisingly)

>>279908178
>Blame Ichigo for being a fanon bicycle
I can't blame him, He's honestly the most enjoyable Shounen MC compared to all the others with a pretty decent Side MC (Rukia) Who isn't
A bitch
A Super Jobber like sakura
Useless
Irrelevant
>His straight ships are decently popular
True
>Isshin
I've seen some with Rangiku and Unohana at best, he is a hard one tbf

>>279908178
>Toushirou
>Karin
Studio will forever be based for making this crack pairing a thing and generating a ship that outweighs his only canon crush (Momo). Kubo, however, is not based for not giving Ichigo's sisters a romantic interest. Or really, just treating pairings as an afterthought outside of the main two endgames.

>>279908269
They do have a romantic interest... their fucking brother.

>>279908287
...and nobody takes it seriously. Only Yuzu has an unusual fondness, and it's easy to write off as some harmless childish crush, like when little sister promise they will be their older brother's bride.

>>279908287
That's only really Yuzu, and there should have been someone to cure her of that.

>>279908340
I'm glad Kubo eased up on this dynamic and made Isshin more serious. It never was funny.

>>279908340
Sometimes I wonder what Kubo had been inhaling when he wrote that, and did he share with his editor or they had their own stash.

>>279908358
I think he's still like that at least in FB arc and the "Sisters want to fuck their brother" still continued onto the last chapter

>>279908373
Both it's a japanese thing

>>279908373
Early Bleach is basically a different manga, however insistent the hardcore fans are about it. Kubo was still figuring it out where to take the story and characters long-term. I wouldn't take it too seriously. There's been far worse "Japanese humor" in WSJ titles. It's actually kinda sad newer titles go for more mature and "internationally-friendly" vibes.

>>279897837 (OP)
incompetent at best
only useful for exposition dumping the death realm to ichigo

how does she smell

>>279905097
Cute and Canon.

Is it just me or does Sado seem like the most mature of the main cast? Even beating Uryuu in that regard.

>>279905799
all I see is not dying in the war, and gets promoted
which many characters also done that

>>279897837 (OP)
I hate Renji I never saw him as more then an annoying and ugly jobber who showed up only to get memed on.
Kubo should've been based and poly pilled giving Ichigo 2 wives.

>>279909856
He won fair and square against Ylfordt, Jackie and Mask

I think Rukia could have used one more good fight before the end, a proper victory that's just hers to really neatly tie a bow to her character.

>>279900390
wish there was a physical version of this

>>279907956
It’s not just fics, it’s the shit ton of fanart including on the japanese/korean/chinese side of things. Same as Grimmichi.

>>279911469
In terms of fanart, not really. The canon pairings and popular het ships have them beat. So IchiHime, RenRuki, IchiRuki, UlquiHime, GinRan, HinaMomo, etc.

>>279911896
Where are you getting these metrics from?

>>279911911
You can look at Pixiv, for one.

>>279911923
>Pixiv
Oh no wonder why the confusion. I’m mostly seeing the stuff on twitter with korean and japanese text.

>>279912001
Yeah, that's not really an objective way of comparing things.

>>279900390
whatever happened to this artist?

>>279912102
Yes it is? You think pixiv is more popular than twitter?

>>279912170
Twitter is garbage when it comes to that kind of numerical comparison. You can barely search fanart because authors often don't tag shit.

>>279912193
Twitter is still a better comparison considering pixiv is just a smaller domestic platform while twitter is bigger and larger international numbers.
>authors don’t tag shit
That’s an issue on most social media

you awake in heaven and have to make a tough choice

How could anyone watch TYBW without their brain questioning the atrocious powerscailing…. What the fuck man, everyone is just fucking stupid in how their dealing with this so called war. This feels like the bount filler where the powerlevels were screwed over and the characters go full ooc. And my god, the powerlevels are some of the worst I’ve seen in a popular shonen. Where’s the foresight and common sense before release? What was Kubo doing? Didn’t he have years to change the awful script?

>>279912550
>What was Kubo doing?
Busy enjoying his money and family life.
>Didn’t he have years to change the awful script?
He would've needed to rewrite things significantly while also fitting EXACTLY within 4 cours. We got some small fixes, like Bazz B's line about his flames being strong than Yama's being removed, or Yhwach's medallion with Yama's Bankai being inked and disabled. It really seems like Kubo never saw much wrong with the arc; he just regretted not adding stuff, like the Uryuu or RG expansions we've gotten.

>>279912620
>Busy enjoying his money and family life
More like being a lazy fuck
>It really seems like Kubo never saw much wrong with the arc
Holy fuck no wonder why Bleach lost popularity.

>>279912680
>More like being a lazy fuck
I mean, if that's how you see it. Dude was hospitalized after he worked week after week to finish the manga. He didn't take too many pauses in the 15 years of Bleach's serialization. It's not easy being a WSJ mangaka. I think he deserves it; man could've just left his work behind and focused on other things.
>Holy fuck no wonder why Bleach lost popularity.
I think that had more to do with the anime ending a few years before and the absolute seethe from the endgame ships.

>>279912328
1st choice: Orihime
2nd choice: Yoruichi
And that's it. (Also, imagine being in heaven and they bring you flat bitches instead of busty ones!!)

>>279912760
>He didn't take too many pauses in the 15 years of Bleach's serialization. It's not easy being a WSJ mangaka. I think he deserves it; man could've just left his work behind and focused on other things.

Lol no jump allows breaks. Something happened behind the scenes as a pr coverup. Probably Kubo being a stubborn jackass because the guy has high levels of NPD. You can see it in TYBW where he wasted time on shit no one cared about and instead of developing the characters and progressing the plot.
He didn’t care about quality or Bleach for that matter. He wanted a new series to write like Burn the Witch which he was also too lazy to finish.
And then left fans with a terrible last chapter because “muh arm.”
>I think that had more to do with the anime ending a few years before and the absolute seethe from the endgame ships.
Moat Bleach fans are male shonen fans who don’t care about ships and the anime and manga was already losing popularity before TYBW due to bad writing.

I will never watch bleach

>>279913095
You can watch bleach but that last arc is complete ass and adds nothing to the overall narrative.

>>279912105
He stopped posting after those 2011 earthquakes, so people assume he was died or otherwise affected by the disaster.

Am I the only one who can’t remember what happened in the last half of the arrancar arc except Tosen’s death, Gin’s betrayal and death, and the whole Dangai training and fight?

>>279905461
*hits pipe*

>>279897837 (OP)
>Do you like her character?
yes
>Do you think she is useful or interesting?
yes
>Do you think she is beautiful or cool?
yes

She should have been the MC.

>>279908373
You do know that love ru was also in Weekly Shonen Jump, right? This is normal for Japan.

Bleach anime should've skipped TYBW and went straight to a hell arc.

>>279913716
But that ain't the girl's dad, is it?

People blame Kubo's health for terrible writing in the last arc when it was just him being a bad writer outside of it. If you had almost a decade to fix your mistakes for the new anime and still do them regardless. Then that means it was his vision from the get go.

>>279897837 (OP)
Her rescue was the last good part of Bleach.

>>279913711
>She should have been the MC.
Agreed.

I don't get it. They are ghosts who become grim reapers but also they can have children? Im confused. Are they spirits of dead people or not?

>>279897837 (OP)
In the anime she’s okay, in the manga she’s garbage.

Something feels off about the whole TYBW fiasco. I remember years ago the fandom shitting on the final arc calling it one of the worst pieces of Bleach media and now all of a sudden they're acting like the same writing is peak. Doesn't seem real.

>>279915606
They are technically all dead since they are made of a different spiritual matter compared to the humans, be they regular humans, Fullbringers or Quincies (except the Wandenreich ones, but that's a whole other story). It's never clearly explained, but pregnancy for spiritual beings like Shinigami is rare because they can't just create new life like living beings can. Because when Shinigami die their spiritual matter is left behind as their soul moves on through the reincarnation cycle, and that Reishi forms the building block of Soul Society. Rarely, that Reishi can coalesce into a new soul when two Shinigami are bumping uglies, resulting in a Shinigami of non-human origin.

The question Kubo answered is bringing us more cute and canon art.

>>279916642
All offscreen btw

>>279897837 (OP)
Another anon and I were talking about Rboz and how she used to be in the Bleach fandom, looks like someone recently commissioned her. I like how they look in her new style.

>>279916642
>canon art.
That's not drawn by Kubo though.

>>279916724
Kubo doesn't waste panel tielme with such mundane things.

>>279916752
Wow, very nice. Wonder if she'll do Ulquihime too, since that was her favorite Bleach ship.

Your canon ship doesn't matter when the majority of Bleach promoted Ichiruki from the OVAs, movies (live action too), the anime. You lost.

>>279897837 (OP)
I want to have sex with this short-haired slut

>>279916826
>Wonder if she'll do Ulquihime too
Only if someone commissions her to draw them. I doubt she'll draw Bleach since she left the fandom years long before the ending.

Not to mention all the fanfiction and other fan content for Ichiruki. Again, you lost.

>>279916826
She'll only do it for the bucks, sadly. At least she doesn't hate the franchise enough to deny a commission.

>8 hours later and the schizo is still going through a mental breakdown after today's Klub outside Q&A
lmfao

>>279916752
>Lieutenant Ichigo under Rukia
Wow how original, do IRcucks have one shared headcanon or something? Also hilariously ooc to think Ichigo would be happy to abandon the human world.
>>279916778
Those are Renji's hands on Rukia You retard.
>>279916852
Nice to know the studio scammed you all and you fell for it kek

Rukia loves braiding her husband's hair? Cute.

>>279905054
>she's not actually the main girl
I know that Kubo's editor said that Orihime was the heroine or something akin to that, but how am I supposed to take that seriously when Rukia not only got much more focus, but she also got serious favoritism from Kubo himself? In the afterword for the final volume message, he only singles out Ichigo and Rukia, shouldn't be have thanked Ichigo and Orihime if he really saw her as the main girl? Even among fans Rukia is seen as the main female character of Bleach.

>>279917027
>Those are Renji's hands on Rukia
Said who? There's never been an official confirmation. Kubo clearly only wanted Ichigo, Rukia, Kazui, and Ichika in the drawing.

>>279917027
>Nice to know the studio scammed you all and you fell for it kek
Doesn't matter that the end canon was, again, Ichiruki took up the majority of Bleach content. Did Renji and Rukia have an entire movie about them? Yeah oh right they didn't because no one cared.

Holy Kek!! Rukia braiding Renji's hair on her own mind broke the resident schizo ichirukifag, lmao!

It's obvious that Ichiruki was endgame and Orihime was pushed by the editor. Ask yourself why Rukia and Renji's child is named ICHIka

>>279917075
You can literally see Ichigo's arms in the picture and he's nowhere close to Rukia, the one holding her up is Renji.
>>279917093
>irrelevant filler movie only made to nickel and dime dumb ichirukis
Well at least you're proud of being a retard.

It's obvious that the mentally ill ichirukifag is having yet another mental breakdown today lol.

>>279917075
>drawing
nta, but wouldn't it mean Ichigo was drawn with three arms? You can see one hanging down on his right, and it's clearly not in position to hold Rukia.

>>279917185
>irrelevant filler movie
Kubo was heavily involved in Fade to Black and that film alone proves that it was popular enough while Renruki wasn't lmao.

>>279917093
>Yeah oh right they didn't because no one cared.
Well they got the wedding novel, but there's no private moment between them which really threw me off. I thought we would get the proposal or the exchanging of the vows or even the confession from Renji, but there's nothing. I don't ship them but they should have added some romantic dialogue from Renji to Rukia especially since it's a light novel.

>>279917185
>>279917210
I like to think Isshin is holding her since he considers her a third daughter.

>>279917164
Because she is their first child, names with "ichi" were traditionally given to firstborns.

>>279916920
This artist is the best, I’m more of a causal shipper but this artist made me see the appeal.

>>279916852
>>279916921
I like Ichiruki but come on man, you sound like a malding fujo/narusakutard lel

>>279917075
>Rukia not only got much more focus
DESU it’s because she drives the plot at the beginning and acted as Ichigo’s teacher for the most part iirc.

>>279916778
>that annoyed Ichigo face
Kek, Ichigo can't fucking stand Rukia and her antics. Proving yet again why he would never pick her to be the women he'll spend the rest of his life with.

>>279917277
>Well they got the wedding novel, but there's no private moment between them which really threw me off. I thought we would get the proposal or the exchanging of the vows or even the confession from Renji, but there's nothing.
Because not even Kubo cares about that ship. It's an obvious editorial push.

>>279917311
>Ichigo can't fucking stand Rukia and her antics.
Or maybe he's annoyed that someone else is around waving her around. If genuinely think he can't stand her then you're a retard.

>>279917293
>DESU it’s because she drives the plot at the beginning and acted as Ichigo’s teacher for the most part iirc.
I mean sure but every among casual fans she's seen as the main female character due to being more relevant.

>>279917231
These newfags don't know anything. They would have a stroke if they read the FTB interviews kek.


>You even came up with the Japanese subtitle “Calling Out Your Name”

>After coming up with the English subtitle "Fade to Black” they asked me to come up with the Japanese subtitle (laughs). So after carefully digesting the scenario I searched for some scenes that can be the key word or words that I can use, and found that in the plot, someone calling out someone’s name, especially in this story where Ichigo calling out Rukia’s name was a strong expression "that even though no one else remembers you I do", and I found out it had an important meaning behind it. So that’s how I came up with the subtitle “Calling Out Your name”.

Pray for our resident Ichirukifag, he's really going through it today.

As delusional as Ulquihime is at least I can see Ulquiorra accepting to live in the human world for Orihime to see what's so interesting about humans, since he wouldn't give a shit about Hueco Mundo, especially with Aizen gone.

Meanwhile neither Ichigo nor Rukia ever gave a hint they'd abandon their worlds for each other when they had so much tot tie them down. They only ever interacted for story reasons, with Rukia trying to go back to SS, staying there after her rescue and not visiting Ichigo once during the timeskip. While Ichigo just went about his ordinary life.

>>279917291
It's actually because Orihime made Rukia's wedding veil with a strawberry flower embroidered in it which is Orihime's favorite flower. Orihime is Rukia's best female friend and the gesture touched Rukia so much that she named her daughter after it, that's what Ichika means.
Source: the wedding novel.

>>279917389
renruki and ichihime fans are still hoping for kubo to draw the confessions one day lol

>>279917428
Loving to braid Renji's hair is diabolical from Kubo.

Why does no one like Renji?

>>279917497
Rukia love to braid his hair while giving him forehead kisses.

>>279917497
Rukia loves him. His daughter loves him. He won

>>279917476
Eh Kubo likes to mess with his fans despite giving us canon couples. He said that he decided to put various female characters in bikinis as a way to cheer Ichigo up despite IH and RR being married by this point in the franchise.

>>279917389
He doesn't do romance or something whatever. Will we ever actually see Ichigo respond to Orihime's confession in the manga, I wonder? It's like one of the most moments of her character and it goes nowhere when it's not reciprocated.

>>279917557
>Eh [coping]
lmao, he's really going through it.

>>279917557
The illustration was not in any way a ship tease or anything, it was just an excuse for Kubo to draw bikinis, it said right there, Urahara was trolling Ichigo.

>>279917515
>>279917531
Sounds like a pity relationship which never lasts.

>>279917531
>Rukia loves him
She loved Kaien first btw. They friendzoned each other so hard even Renji had to admit Ichigo brought them together. Dude would've had her executed if it wasn't for him.
>His daughter loves him.
I would be impressed yet not surprised if that jobber somehow had a child that didn't love him.

>>279898115
Best ship is pic related

>>279917497
Suure, because of that he is one of the charcaters with more merchandise.

IR is the ship equivalent of peaked at high school, was at the top of the world decades ago and didn't do anything afterwards, now a salty loser nobody likes that just spews about the glory days and just stinks up the place.

>>279917497
Ichiruki fans opinion is irrelevant

>>279917777
>is the ship equivalent of peaked at high school,
Hilarious coming from someone on /a/. We're here arguing about characters on a dead site.

>>279917709
Canon says otherwise, Rukia and Renji have always loved each other: We do knot ALWAYS love you

>>279917658
>ichigo and orihime are married
>same with rukia and renji
>btw heres a bunch of women throwing a bubble party in bikinis to cheer ichigo up
totally normal in japan of course...

>>279917448
Not surprising IRcucks literally have no answer to this. It's the most damning thing about their dynamic and
Kubo even hammered it down when showing how Isshin and Masaki got together.

>>279917889
>ignoring that is Urahara trolling Ichigo

>>279917940
>and everyone including orihime goes along with it
how does that make it any better?

>>279917873
Canon doesn't matter especially when it's an asspull in one of the lowest selling volumes of Bleach.

>>279917960
It means everyone was pulling a prank on Ichigo, he was not in need of cheering up. Orihime was tricked into wearing that revealing bikini like in TBYW, does everything needs to be explained to you idiots? Or are you really gonna tell me that the sight of his sisters in bikinis was supposed to make Ichigo happy?

>>279917277
>I like to think Isshin is holding her since he considers her a third daughter.
That is called denial. Since when have Isshin been that intimate with Rukia to be holding her by the waist.

>>279917873
So he loved her when he tried to cut her down during her capture with Byakuya?Kubo didn't even have the decency to tell us how they made up after her rescue. It has the same issues as Ichihime. The love was always there but the poor stupid fans never saw it.

>>279917448
>>279917894
Ichigo could have taken over the Shiba estate if Kubo wanted to go down that route or Kubo could have come up with something else, anything needed to make IR canon just would have happened in the final chapter. He would have skipped the confessions and marriages like he did with IH/RR and would have shown adult Ichigo living in SS and given us the explantation in that very chapter.

>>279918038
You can think it's Renji, I can think it's Isshin. Neither of us are wrong since Kubo never told us who it was.

I don't like Orihime because she's a doormat around Ichigo. She treats him like a God and rarely challenges him. They're not equals whatsoever.

>>279918090
Holy fucking cope

>>279918098
>ichigo lost his powers
>living a normal human life
>NOTHING advances in their bond
i actually dont get it, this would have been the perfect chance for orihime to grow closer to ichigo now that he didnt have to focus on saving the world but she decides to idle around and get "stronger" only to not do anything in the climax of the arc. kubo had so many chances to make their connection moving and blew them

>>279917889
His sisters too, all of them arte Ichigo's friends

>>279900390
This godly shit unironically got me into anime as a teen

>>279918090
>Kubo could have come up with something else, anything needed to make IR canon just would have happened in the final chapter.
Hahahaha, the cope is delicious.

Sure, Ichigo would totally leave behind his family and friends to go play noble when he couldn't even be bothered to visit Soul Society once when not on official business, like when he goes there to advocate for Ginjo's burial.

>>279918185
He blew off Chad too.

>>279918098
She has his mom's hair color, it was over from chapter 1. Japs are oedipal like that.

>>279918005
>one of the lowest selling volumes of Bleach.
Which? That novel sold more than The death save the strawberry novel, and way more than Can't fear your own world ones.

>>279918254
im talking about orihime making the advances though

>>279918268
>manga volumes
>light novels
anon those are different things...and yes volume 74 had one of the lowest first weeks

>>279918185
They became closer tho, Orihime acts more friendly and casual with Ichigo and they lend each other manga. Also Ichigo knows Orihime's apartment is whereas others, like Chad, don't.
>>279918098
At the beginning of TBYW she scolds him and teases him about not giving him bread due to him calling it old. It shows they have a banter as well. Do you guys actually think they talk and behave the same when they are living their normal lives as when they are in dangerous situations?

>>279918185
We do see them grow closer your tard. Did you speedread the pages where Orihime casually hangs in his room and even sits on his bed? How they talk about exchanging manga or how she brings him bread from her bakery? How he's concerned for her being stalked and offers to walk her home? How she is the only person to break through Tsukishima's brainwash momentarily because her love for Ichigo is so strong?

>>279918369
If Ichigo actually yells at her in an argument which all married couples do eventually she'll start crying.
>>279918423
Which was all rushed through with no emotional payoff.

Why did they cut this?

>>279918086
It was clear to me they were in love with each other since their past was told.
>So he loved her when he tried to cut her down during her capture with Byakuya?
Her wound wasn't that important and in her gigai, when she arrived at the SS it had already dissapeared from her face. Renji was trying to protect her being harsh with her so she would accept to go with them and wouldn't get into more trouble than she already had. She could increase her sentence if she did not cooperate

>>279918364
Volume 74 sold more than the last previous volumes.

>>279918423
>how she brings him bread from her bakery?
she did it for chad and uryu too

>How he's concerned for her being stalked and offers to walk her home?
he did this in the beginning too when she was just a friend of a friend (ichigos own words to rukia), do you people even read this manga?

>How she is the only person to break through Tsukishima's brainwash momentarily because her love for Ichigo is so strong?
well no cause shes relieved to see hes not crying but thinks the shinigami came to stop ichigo so she didn't break through the brainwash really

>>279918369
Did you forget he went to her apartment during Arrancar arc when she was kidnapped? Of course he'd know it.
>>279918423
He shared video games with Tatsuki as well. Not to mention how Orihime still spazzes out in private after that room encounter; she didn't mature at all in her love for him. And he only offered to take her home after Uryuu got injured, no sentimental implications there. They literally act like good friends.

>>279918492
>all married couples do
not everybody lives in the ghetto.

>read the hell one shot
>kubo throws in rukia joking about ichigo and orihimes marriage
for what reason?

>>279918632
>not everybody lives in the ghetto.
I meant as in standard arguments which every human being on earth has engaged in, not emotional abuse you fucking retard.

>>279918655
Making fun of delusional ichirukicucks.

>>279918591
just barely, final volumes tend to have higher sales since its the ending. see how naruto's final volume did compared to previous ones. thats how bad the bleach ending was received at the time lol

>>279918687
>decides that strong shinigami have to go to hell meaning ichigo and orihime will never reunite in the afterlife
for what reason?

>>279918631
>And he only offered to take her home after Uryuu got injured, no sentimental implications there.
He also didn't take her home anyways lol, he was fine with Ryuken taking over.

>>279918678
I literally can't picture them discussing anything that would make Ichigo yell, and of he does he would immediately apologize. They are functional human beings who can work their problems unlike some of you dumbasses.

>>279897837 (OP)
yes

>>279918743
>ichigo and orihime will never reunite in the afterlife
Forgot about the five lifetimes?

Tite Kubo was just trolling through the last arc of Bleach. I'm so glad the anime and other things exist. Imagine relying on the manga from a narcissistic hack who gave up a long time ago.

>>279918790
sorry shes not a shinigami and cant go to hell with him, take it up with kubo

>>279918781
>They are functional human beings who can work their problems unlike some of you dumbasses.
Except all functional beings argue once in a while and no shit Ichigo would apologize. I'm saying Orihime would break at the slightest contention because she never saw Ichigo as a being but an idol.

please consider becoming Ikkaku's brother-in-law

>>279918855
She literally saw him at his worst when he fought Ulquiorra and didn't stop loving him. Her love is not shallow.

>>279898093
>>279898205
>>279905054
dumb retarded speedreader niggers

>>279918855
>I'm saying Orihime would break at the slightest contention because she never saw Ichigo as a being but an idol.
This is probably the reason Kubo didn't give them any interactions in the Hell one-shot. It's hard to imagine what they're like as a married couple since their entire "romance" is Orihime pining after him with Ichigo never showing any of that affection back. He cared for her as nakama, but it never went beyond that.

>>279918695
So pairings have nothing to do with volume sales, and, if anything, the canon pairings increases the last volumes sales trend

>>279918855
>I'm saying Orihime would break at the slightest contention because she never saw Ichigo as a being but an idol.
Anon, she's not a wallflower. She bitchslapped Ulquiorra when he insulted her friends. Injured Ginjo with 0 remorse when he tried to hurt Ichigo against her warnings. Not to mention how she comes to accept that Ichigo will always get hurt when he does what he does best (fighting to protect) even if she doesn't like it, but she'll always be there to support him despite that. Kubo literally made it a point that she matured, but you pretend she somehow treats him like a God?

>>279918970
It's because the moment they see each other they have the urge to fuck.

>>279919132
>things kubo will never ever draw
kek

>>279918910
>She literally saw him at his worst when he fought Ulquiorra and didn't stop loving him.
Because she worships him. Uryu got stabbed and she straight up ignores that and runs over to Ichigo yelling his name and not the guy near death.

>>279919061
You know this post made me realize how shoddy her writing was. The moment with Ulquiorra seemed like she was stepping up but then she went reverted to a KUROSAKI-KUN mascot the entire time she wasn't locked up which frustrated majority of readers at the time. I think her character would have been spared from a lot of the hate if she simply TRIED to do something instead of crying and screaming especially since her entire personal arc was about getting stronger.

>>279919196
Uryuu literally had meds on him to stop the bleeding. He told her as much as Ulquiorra ripped off his hand. Excuse Orihime for being so worried about the man she literally loves collapsing on the ground, still dead (to the best of her knowledge at the time). Once she knows he's fine she comforts the actually dying person (Ulquiorra) in his last moments, despite what he did and even wanting to reignite the fight with Ichigo moments earlier. If she worshipped him she would've never acted like this with the person who killed her beloved twice over.

>>279918970
We see them interacting in the final chapter, they are normal around each other like always, what the fuck are you on about?

I swear when it comes to shipping faggotry everybody's IQ drops by 20 points, this is why women are retards 24/7

>>279919340 I’m talking about after that. And Uquiorra was an emotionless bot following orders and the way it was handled was bad as she only acted that way once she realized Ichigo was completely fine. And her still calling Ichigo when he was visibly dead to save her was just cringe.

>>279919369
>We see them interacting in the final chapter
He just calls her name, how is that an interaction? I'm waiting for Kubo to show us their day to day life, something with more substance.

>>279919336
She stands up to Grimmjow too. Tried to fight back against Tesla before he threatened her. Protected Ichigo from Ulquiorra. She only froze up against Loly and Menoly when they sneaked up on her. Then begs Uryuu to take her to the rooftop since she refuses to be on the sidelines when Ichigo is still fighting. For a pacifist struggling with self-esteem issues, it's not the worst portrayal. People who whine about her not being a badness completely misunderstand her character

>>279919480
She froze up with Ulquiorra when he questions her in front of Ichigo. She was also completely useless when Ichigo was killed in front of her, that should have been a force to keep her going but instead she lets the despair take over and in trying to get people to pity her, instead readers just came to dislike her. Same thing happened with Sakura Matou from the Fate franchise, trying too hard to get readers to pity a character.

>>279919435
>And Uquiorra was an emotionless bot following orders
Wow, you not only fail to understand Orihime's character but Ulquiorra's too? I guess I shouldn't be surprised, coming from an IRfag.
>And her still calling Ichigo when he was visibly dead to save her was just cringe.
She was literally desperate and having a complete breakdown as Ulquiorra was about to kill Uryuu, even as she tried to protect him. It's supposed to be her and Ichigo's lowest point.

>>279919662
>ichigo hits his lowest point when trying to save orihime who does nothing to help her situation
kubo...

>>279919573
>She froze up with Ulquiorra when he questions her in front of Ichigo
Because she remembered how she held Ichigo back during his fight with Grimmjow, and was worried about what she could do for him without interfering as a burden. Not to mention how she was still grappling with her fear of his Hollow Mask. Ichigo even hesitates to put it on despite Ulquiorra goading him.
>She was also completely useless when Ichigo was killed in front of her, that should have been a force to keep her going but instead she lets the despair take over
She literally rushes to him and tries to heal him in desperation. What do you think she could've done from all the way down there, sent Tsubaki to have him die again? Not to mention Ulquiorra had no interest in fighting her, he was only trying to prove a point by then. This is evident when he tells her it's useless to heal Ichigo, because he assumed correctly she couldn't reject his Cero Oscuras in his SE.

I just can't believe people are spending their time arguing back and forth about shitty ships. Ichihime, and Renruki didn't have the proper build-up for the marriage and kids ending and it would have been the same with Ichiruki despite what IRfags argue. Ichiruki and Renruki are two ships made up of ZERO feelings while Ichihime was ONE-SIDED.

>>279897837 (OP)
I only like Rukia and I think she's such a cutie. I don't give a fuck about Bleach or Tite Kubo.

>>279919471
It's obvious Kubo doesn't care for the slice of life stuff that showed the characters personalities/chemistries and made fans like bleach to start with. The fact that he relegates this kind of stuff to half-assed Q&A >>279905097 shows that he doesn't give a damn.
>>279918185
There's no point in trying to make sense of the end pairings. Even renji's VA was surprised by the end outcome. Kubo could have spent time on these relationships/characters, but because of the blowback from the fullbringer arc, he thought fans didn't want any of that stuff, they just wanted back-to-back action with the shinigami, which resulted in generic shonen fights that lack any originality or spirit to them. The definition of a hack.

>>279920104
>wait since when
holy kek

>>279920104
>There's no point in trying to make sense of the end pairings.
There is sense in the two of them. Kubo was never overt with romance in the manga outside of Orihime's declaration of love. It's fine since this is a battle shounen. The people who somehow deny any development between them are just hopelessly delusional, usually antis of other ships like Ichiruki.
>Even renji's VA was surprised by the end outcome
As if that means anything. Orihime's talked about shipping her character with Ulquiorra. Does that make her an authority or just another person throwing an opinion?

>>279920051
you clearly give a fuck about what bleach fans think about you since you felt the need to tell us

>>279920104
I'd argue that Kubo doesn't care for his endgames. He hasn't drawn anything for Ichihime since the ending outside of that one sketch for a mangakas wedding gift. I don't think he's drawn Renruki outside of the wedding novel. He shares some information via the Q&A, but that's really it. His excuse is that he wants to leave it readers imagination, but readers want him to fill in the blanks. Though Renrukifags have gotten a bit more in content such as the wedding novel, more Q&A lore, and more interactions in both the final chapter and hell arc one-shot.

>>279920324
>As if that means anything
You're misunderstanding. IHfags and RRfags act as if only IRfags weren't able to pick up on the endgames, but here's someone else who was just as surprised. The development was shit.

I like the Fullbring arc more than SS

>>279920381
Yeah, I like Rukia. Don't give a fuck about Bleach or Kubo, I only read good manga. But I do love cute girls when I see one. Did I forgot to mention that Rukia is cute?

If I were to die on the hill of "Bleach could've been written better" the pairings would be middling on my concern list. The fact that some people are so invested in this a decade later is baffling to me.

none ships were good but ichigo and orihime i can accept cause she at least loved him. i draw the line at renji and rukia because we never got any confirmation from either party. rukia staying single like all the other captains would have been more realistic and fitting her character

>>279920435
>IHfags and RRfags act as if only IRfags weren't able to pick up on the endgames, but here's someone else who was just as surprised. The development was shit.
Normies too were surprised. Remember that rando on here who dropped Bleach years ago and thought they were together in endgame and was shocked they weren't?

>>279920493
Literally, the final pairings are nowhere near the biggest problem in the final arc yet you have ichirukifags claiming that's what killed the manga's popularity.

>>279920564
>yet you have ichirukifags claiming that's what killed the manga's popularity.
Where? Because it's well known in the fanbase that the popularity of Bleach was sinking since the end of the HM arc.

>>279920545
Normies changed their mind then, since now all they do is defend Kubo and his shit writing like mindless sheep, ichiruki is banned from the Bleach subreddit lol

>>279920646
>ichiruki is banned from the Bleach subreddit lol
Kek, is this real? Don't wanna bother with a cesspool like plebbit but surely they must allow fanart at least, right?

>>279920493

kek if true. normie bleachfags are so insecure

>>279920683
Any mention of ichiruki gets downvoted to hell if not outright removed, fanarts are allowed but never garner any attention like ih does. If you told me back in 2012 that IR would be so disliked by the general fandom I wouldn't believe you

>Tatsuki
I will forever be mad with how Kubo treated her. Fuck Orihime and Rukia, Ichigo should've gotten a boring childhood friend to lovers pairing.

Just watched the Ichigo vs Ulquirrora fight and the guy just dies? Ichigo gets killed, transforms, and then kills the guy? This shit was ass wtf

>>279920804
>>279920711
Fuck that looks cute love it

>>279920877
Westoids still worship Ichiruki there, Check Tumblr and you can see it's still outdone there, more than plenty on AO3 and FF, Also i believe IR has its own reddit if you want one thats still active and not filled with huge amount of retards like with the bleach one where you can't even discuss Giselle being a male lol.

>>279897837 (OP)
Best girl

>>279920953
I actually hang around in bankaifolk and it's not that different, yes they allow more criticism but ichirukis are still the minority there as well. Zoomers just don't like IR as much as people did 15 years ago, same story in Twitter and TikTok.

>>279921001
>where you can't even discuss Giselle being a male lol.
Hilarious how that works. Don't they worship Kubo's writing? How do they cope with cognitive dissonance when he clarified in no certain unterms Giselle is male.

>>279920803
>reddit
>general fandom
Is leddit a good way to measure popularity? On twitter Ichiruki content is still very popular. I still remember how ichihimefags would cry whenever that floppy artist would post.

>>279921096
Cause its le transphobic lol the same with the grift e-celebs that dodge that topic hard or cause division over something that was simply said by kubo himself.

>>279921083
>Zoomers just don't like IR as much as people did 15 years ago
Theres still a good amount that like it considering the ones that follow that one person who made the famous Ichiruki art on twitter, and posts anti israel stuff (based lmfao)

Being Renji is suffering.

>>279920991
Ulquiorra was written to die to highlight his return to nothingness but with fulfillment (hence the black dot surrounded by white in the manga) And also to further Ichigo's (and to a lesser degree Orihime's) characterization.

>>279921184
Childhood friends to lovers is liked if done right. See Ed x Winry.

>>279898115
>"Haaah? Wouldn't Kurosaki prefer a living human woman?"
>"Huh? Nah, no way. Ichigo's with that airhead human girl," Grimmjow says, remembering the girl Ichigo had risked his life to come to Hueco Mundo to save.

>>279921216
This pretty much, Renji was done so badly with his introduction and having someone else save her instead of himself. Not to mention her last thoughts are literally of Ichigo.

>>279921218
Love how Ichigo never held this against Grimmjow. Such a forgiving guy.

>>279921133
I usually see IH arts reaching lots of likes in comparison to IR arts unless they come from big, established artists like the one you mentioned, who no longer even posts. The only other popular IR artists that gets tons of likes is Dangerousbride. IH has guys like rakusaku, rozuberry and recently this >>279919132
IH also had that one drawing that went super viral with over 250k likes.

>>279921199
Why didnt Orihime heal him though?

>>279921283
Rakusaku follows Ichiruki artists that get plenty of likes even more than theirs lol and reposts them too

Rozuberry barely ever posts

>>279921083
Ichiruki is still very popular, you just have to be more hush hush about it because normie bleachfags ride Kubo's dick and seem to believe that if someone likes Ichiruki they aren't a real fan.

>>279921283
Rozuberry is a big artist? Her latest Ichihime fanart failed to get 5k likes while the latest Dangerousbride Ichiruki fanart got 23k likes. The latest Ichihime piece by Rakusaku got 8.1k likes. Overall I think Ichiruki gets more fanart and consistent numbers.

>>279921322
Artists like who? I'm curious because I follow tons of IH and IR artists and raku always seems to have tons of likes.
Rozu barely posts because she works in Japan in the anime industry, she's super busy obviously.

>>279921253
On the bright side, I'm at least glad reiwa era shounen romances moved past the contrarianism of the heisei era and are more upfront with romances (Momo/Okarun from DanDaDan and Izuku/Ochako from MHA vs Ichigo/Orihime, Goku/Chi-Chi, Naruto/Hinata)

>>279921413
I constantly see ir fanarts not reaching 1k likes, DB is the huge outlier here, there's a Korean artist too that constantly gets around 1k to 2k but I'm talking mainly about western, or english speaking artists.

>>279921413
>Ichiruki is still very popular, you just have to be more hush hush about it
They aren't really hush hush about it, as plenty of nip artists post it. The only things that hush is saying "Kubo was wrong not making it the ending pairing" Cause thats what sets off the same frenzy of rabid zoomies

>>279921420
Waligner, a few nip artists if you look at her account reposts, and some sisters friend that makes ginrangiku and ichiruki i think?
>Rozu barely posts because she works in Japan in the anime industry
No it's cause shes barely interested in making art, the industry obviously already wore her down.

>>279921456
Yeah, though i don't think it's like at super best levels besides momo/okarun being the exception but definitely a little better.

>>279921320
You'd have to ask Kubo that.

>>279921511
>Waligner
I literally have only seen 1 ichiruki artwork from him, he's more of a Rukia fanboy than anything.

>>279921639
>1 IR artwork

Then you're retarded i'm sorry cause theres multiple then the doujin they were making with Ichigo/Rukia with that side thing of Kon. It's quite clear they're an IR

>>279921511
>No it's cause shes barely interested in making art, the industry obviously already wore her down
It was bound to happen. Japan doesn't really have the best work culture and working in the anime industry isn't very rewarding. I think a lot of it is based on rank and seniority

>>279921499
>I constantly see ir fanarts not reaching 1k like
I see the same with IH and RR fanart. RR barely even gets fanart. Why is Rozuberry considered a big artist when her last two IH pieces have gotten less than 10k likes? When I think of the "big" shipfag artists I think of Dangerousbride, Floppydisk, and Rakusaku. There's also this korean artist, their IR fanart gets attention.

>>279921639
More than RR and IH have gotten from him.

>>279917448
This is actually a pretty damning thing about Ichiruki I guess even if I still like it. Now that I think about it, Ichigo was like a stand in for a dead guy Rukia felt guilt over right? So she’s sort of projecting onto Ichigo.

>>279921713
>So she’s sort of projecting onto Ichigo.
well no..she didnt want him to die like kaien did. similar to how orihime was scared of ichigos mask cause she was afraid he would become like her brother ;)

>>279921699
Yeah no shit, she more than likely lost a lot of creativity, beyond exhausted, no longer able to feel like drawing anything on her off time either as it gives her nightmares.

Any artists for other ships like Ulquihime or Ishime getting any attention?

>>279921283(me)
I forgot to mention luvelyroseve, she also had several IH viral tweets in a row. She's busy with college tho, hopefully returns for cour 4.

>>279917448
>Meanwhile neither Ichigo nor Rukia ever gave a hint they'd abandon their worlds for each other
This is something that i hate because i do not understand why she would stay in SS where everyone was ready to watch her die with barely some on the fence/against it and didn't act or do anything till Ichigo had to come in.
>Renji
Literally cowered and backed out
>Byakuya
Somewhat understandable of torn between family and duty but still selected duty
>Her captain and those two retards
saying how they'd totally help her but never formed an actual plan or anything
She literally barely had much on her side there so it made no sense storywise or even logically for her to stay in that god forsaken place of hell.

>>279921774
>Ulquihime
Sadly it's pretty dead. Shame, since I never hated it like other fans seem to.
>Ishihime
Ironically even deader, despite both characters being alive and even friends.

>>279921732
Honestly, she would've been better off just doing fanarts and commissions
She used to do commissions before moving to Japan si I'm sure a lot of people would pay her to draw

>>279921673
I've been following him for 2 years now and he only posts coomer arts and vtubers. Never have I seen him RT something for ichiruki. Is this doujin you mention in his patron?

>>279898062
Quite literally a midget. I don't care if girls in Japan are 5'2" at best, that's a midget

>>279921781
10k-30k isn't really much of viral

>>279921854
it wouldn't pay the bills even so, and she'd be late on arrival for any commission shes fucked there lol

>>279921882
Check Gelbooru you can literally find 5-6 pieces of art free of IR, theres obviously more and yes it's on their patreon though you could just... use imhentai? Kemono?

>>279921774
Well ulquihime does not have the traction it had years ago but there's keitoz_png and that one Korean artist that also ships grimichi and renruki.
Ishihime is completely dead, RIP.

>>279921925
>Quite literally a midget
Don't care, she's still hot and I'd fuck her raw

>30k isn't viral
lmao
>>279921988
I see, it still doesn't explain why he doesn't even retweet ir fanarts anymore though.

Now that the dust has properly settled.

Here are four well-known ship artists, three being pro-IH and this is how their average non-lewd fanart did going by their latest pieces. The Ichiruki artist still got the most "traction" while the others couldn't break the 10k mark. 23k isn't even that impressive when compared to other fanbases.

>>279922058
>Still doesn't explain why he doesn't even retweet IR fanarts anymore though
? He still does also pic for if you search up waligner with ichiruki on twitter

>>279922069
First opening is just okay, good song.
Second opening is bad, and the song is also bad.
Third opening is great and the song is good.
Cour 4 really needs to have a banger opening because so far the og had better openings.

>>279922087
Agreeing with you but i also want to be fair a bit to them and say that IR artist also does leon and other stuff as well so that'll add more traction to them. Though that doesn't excuse why the IH artists have burnout so quickly but the IR one doesn't and they continue with so much that isn't just bleach.

>>279922069
OP1: good visuals, terrible song
OP2: powerpoint visuals, great song
OP3: good visuals, good song

what do we think about purple filters

>>279922087
>gross art style
>horribly out of character
Can somebody tell me why is DB so popular? At least floppy arts were nice to look at.

>>279921774
>>279921836
>>279921965
Ulquihime might get some more attention if Ulquiorra appears in Hell, because who else he'd interact with but her? Ishida is destined to die alone unless Kubo asspulls some love interest we've never heard of before, but I severely doubt it. His ship with Orihime never had any real traction.

Why the fuck bluray is still not on nyaa??

Anyone shocked Ishihime isn’t more popular?

>>279922089
>2023
Any recent ones?
>>279922069
None of this come even close to "Ichirin no hana" "Alones" "cHange" or "Ranbu no Melody"

>>279897837 (OP)
She has a great design and had nice moments (mostly in the beginning). I expected a main girl/co-protagonist treatment for her but she turned out to be just a mascot and another average WSJ side chick with like three wins in a +600 chapter manga. Orihime felt more like a main girl than her but I liked Rukia way more.

>>279920646
It could be because Ichirukifags kept bitching about it (I remember the book burnings lol) but I wouldn’t be surprised if it was just mods being fags either.

>>279922204
Cause 1. Ichiruki is popular and they were around back in the day
2. They don't burn out so quickly and do other stuff than just bleach adding more fans

>>279922269
boomerslop

>>279922255
Not really, the ship was heavily backed by IR to get Orihime away from Ichigo in its heyday. It never had a strong fanbase and canon Ishida quickly ditches whatever subtle crush fans thought he he harbored for her.

>>279922274
Book burnings were just only 10s of people from tumblr posting it, then people would just reupload the same few saying "look! They're all doing!"

>>279920724
wtf is this

>>279922204
Dangerousbride had an established fan base from more than a decade ago when she used to post on Tumblr. I followed her when she posted Kill la Kill arts. Also she's hot as fuck, she posted a lot of whorish pics in Tumblr. Ironically she likes Rukia more but she herself has Orihime's body lol

>>279922142
>so that'll add more traction to them.
I don't think that matters because Rakusaku and Luvelyrose can actually do pretty big numbers but that's usually on their lewd fanart. This popular artist randomly drew Bleach last year and got 39k likes. Again there are a bunch of Ichiruki fans in the world especially in East Asia but a lot of them have moved on from their Bleach phase and barely draw it anymore.

>>279917497
He's just very boring to me

>>279922396
Forgot the pic kek.

>>279897837 (OP)
Orihime and her army of robots will lay siege to the Soul Society, demanding Rukia and all the other females submit and bare Ichigo's children as part of her harem plan.

>>279917497
I use to hate Renji but I started liking him because I found him funny.

>>279917497
He's Chad-level interesting to me.

>>279922269
Recent repost of one of few and some from last month from waligner

I forgot Daraz, they also posted IH and RR occasionally but have been MIA for years now.

>>279922396
>I don't think that matters because Rakusaku and Luvelyrose can actually do pretty big numbers but that's usually on their lewd fanart.
Which rare if ever cause from what i'm seeing it's only few of their lewd art with high numbers to that point and have dropped down to between 10-20k if they do a lewd art
>Again there are a bunch of Ichiruki fans in the world especially in East Asia but a lot of them have moved on from their Bleach phase and barely draw it anymore.
That's just not true, they still draw it from time to time, the only one i can remember that dropped bleach was a oldfag artist for IR berry something...

>>279922526
He's that extremely interesting?

>>279922395
I know there are people that hate her artstyle, but she is probably the ONLY consistent Bleach shipfag artist who has both her lewd and cute fanart doing big numbers. The average piece for IR or IH gets a few thousand likes at most.

>>279922590
Burnout, which again, seems to be common with those artists for some reason which makes no sense unless your rozuberry.

>>279922590
Safe to say, Renji won bigly.

Ichigo ending up with Orihime was one of the most satisfying manga outcomes ever for me. I rooted for them since the beginning despite 80% of the brain dead fanbase telling me that I was wrong but guess what happened at the end? KEK I'm glad that Kubo delivered. Seeing normalfags, animefags and all kind of IRfags rage and seethe in real time felt so good and I'm so happy that they are still mad about it to this day. As for Rukia, she is great and I think she is cute but at the end she is just a glorified heroine and only serves as the poster girl

>>279922590
>they also posted IH and RR occasionally
Pretty sure this is the only piece he's drawn for them, and it's less about the ships and more about the girls.

Still cute and canon

>>279922243
IR's ditched him for Ulquiorra when UH became popular, then tried setting him up with Nemu but that didn't work. Poor bastard is always the spare.
>>279922617
The only times I find her art style off-putting is when she draws Leon and Dante, she is also super projecting since she writes all her ships the same.

>>279922617
Pretty sure that stuff also gets onto some Voice acting for comics channels that get thousands of views as well...

I don’t need to worry about shipping wars when I ship myself with Ichigo

>>279922749

>>279922606
>That's just not true
How is it not true when I just shared an artist who doesn't draw Bleach fanart despite shipping Ichigo and Rukia? They drew Ulquiorra and Grimmjow in the past as well. Again a lot of artists have moved on from drawing Bleach, gone MIA, or deleted their accounts.

>if they do a lewd art
The lewd art of Luvlyrose is 20x more popular than her cute, non-lewd art. She has one lewd piece that gathered 69k likes and she pinned it on her twitter account so it's the first thing anyone sees. On average, her art gets a few thousand likes, more than 1k but less than 10k. Same with Rakusaku, his average IH art gets around 8k likes or so. His lewd IH pieces are way more popular. Dangerousbride has the most consistent fanbase in my opinion.

>>279922739
>then tried setting him up with Nemu but that didn't work
I didn't ship him with Orihime because I saw it couldn't work out but those two actually had some cute interactions. Shame Kubo treated him as an afterthought when it came to getting some affection; poor dude deserved as much for how virtuous and noble he was throughout the manga. Guess he wanted to teach us a lesson about nice guys?

>>279922910
>How is it not true when I just shared an artist who doesn't draw Bleach fanart despite shipping Ichigo and Rukia?
I said it's not true because you claimed that it was a bunch of them when that isn't even close.
Having 2 artists MIA/Drop isn't a bunch of them.
>The lewd art of Luvlyrose is 20x more popular than her cute, non-lewd art.
Again how recent? Cause they have lowered when they do one

Renruki is an abusive relationship.

>>279897837 (OP)
She is probably one of the greatest females to grace manga. I am still utterly shocked that Kubo married our perfect ice hime(princess in English) to an actual baboon. An ape. A savage beast.

It’s like burying a gleaming, perfectly cut jewel in a steaming cow pie. Over and over I wake up in a cold sweat wondering why? Was he demonically possessed? A mental breakdown? Temporary insanity? Did he take a sick day and let the interns write whatever they wanted?

The only way i can rationalize it is that Rukia was forced into a sham loveless marriage by the conservative clan elders. Renji is a eunuch and Ichika is secretly ichigo’s.

Gohan’s wife is so beautiful bros…

>>279923003
I was about to say "Go to sleep, Byakuya" but I realized he doesn't actually care and even accepted his subordinate fucking his precious adoptive sister. That's some wicked payback for jobbing against him and getting called out for not having any class lmao

>>279922984
Renruki has nothing to do with abuse, i hate this FF shit or retards repeat this. The problem with it was the face Renji sat on his ass and let someone else do all the work.

Thats called a coward with no balls, you can't tell me he couldn't go to Ukitake for some help and plan to help her get out.

>>279922749
>be a woman
>hasnt gotten any major surgery
>isnt fat

if the 8 dollars a month pack is the most popular then shes making close to a thousand a month drawing shit?

>>279922749
I'm sorry but that style is really horrendous, that thing is not Rukia.

>>279922972
>Again how recent?
The one with 69k likes is from March 15th of this year dude lmao. Her lewd shit is more popular than her cute safe shit, this is the case for every artist.

>>279923083
More than likely, from looking at her patreon her posts get 100's of likes and favorites, i'm not the best at collecting how much payment she'd be getting for this but thousand a month or more doesn't seem to far off?

>>279923073
Speaking of Byakuya he should have stayed dead

>>279923136
not bad for a hobby, seems like drawing gooner shit is the way to go

>>279923158
But if he did he would've never had to endure the humiliation of his pride getting together with a Rukongai dog

>>279923135
Now how about the one from April? which is closest to a bit of little NSFW and has just about 10k to where she kept the one from march still pinned so people will see it to keep liking

>>279922546
honest question, not trying to start shit, does any piece of fanart that includes two characters count as ship art? because this doesn't seem like ship art to me.

>>279923204
>Rukongai dog
That's fine, they're cut from the same cloth. Hisana was too, so he clearly had no issues taking strays under his wing.

>>279923226
When waligner retweets stuff from bleach it's mainly Rukia in it or Ichigo/Rukia which that artist does do as well, and as i said check her retweets from may that have a IR MLP even in the hashtags

>>279923253
>>279923226

>>279922910
luvlyrose has a really cute style but she has terrible taste in female characters. who unironically has fucking sakura and momo as favorites? momo is a nothing burger of a character

>>279923282
see, to me there's a big difference in how this two pieces of fanart can be seen, one is clearly ship oriented and the other isn't.

>>279923218
>Now how about the one from April?
Which one? I can look, but I feel it's becoming pointless. If you go through all her pieces you'll see her most liked are lewd ones, Ichigo holding Orihime by the tummy and Orihime on his bed, both at 69k likes. No other piece of hers has a number that high.

>>279923226
Depends on the artist who drew them. There's another artist I love who goes by Fai, and she follows both IR and IH artists.

>>279923364
It's how you see it yourself because you haven't looked at what the artists make themselves, which has been IR art Waligner enjoys.
Heres another from april.

>>279922984
>>279923003
Lol wtf

>>279923381
>Which one? I can look
It's the Ichigo as a cat and turning human while somewhere nude which is why i said somewhat NSFW.
Also again, she has the lewd one as her pinned so if anyone new visits her profile they'll obviously click like/retweet onto it. Not that theres anything wrong with that, it's just how you keep up with the algorithm and try to reach higher likes.

A little different from the IR stuff who don't do that (Besides maybe Waligner at times)

>>279923381
okay but this artist does not seem to be an IR tho>>279922546 it's just a bleach fanart featuring ichigo and rukia, not an ichiruki art.

>>279923468
They are if you've checked their page for their art, they post plenty of bleach and follow both waligner and rakusa, just like Rakusa and waligner follow eachother.

>>279922617
Then people really have bad taste, or they don't know those characters because they haven't read or watched Bleach, because in her fanarts they are very very out of chatacter.

>>279899715
Zangetsu is part Hollow. You read the story right?

>>279923568
The point of the art is that it changes the ending, you know that right? Thats why people follow DB.

>>279922269
Change is shit

>>279923543
no, they don't follow either Waligner or Raku, and I scrolled to the end of their tweet list, they don't have a lot, only few bleach arts with some girls and fujo art from Sakamoto Days, clearly not an IR artist.

>>279901238
The best sequence in Bazz B vs Haschwalth was drawn in it’s entirety by Kubo but keep trying with the bait

>>279923635
They are not mainly IR i should say then, as they do post other stuff my bad but they are IR and do follow Raku and Waligner lol you can see their retweets

>>279923664
you can check their following list, it's only 33 persons long, they don't follow either.

>>279923610
Shit opinion detected

>>279923705
Again they have reposted both their art multiple times... this is a retarded discussion

>>279923568
>because in her fanarts they are very very out of chatacter.
Same with some Ichihime pieces that depict Ichigo as some sauve guy trying to win Orihime over. If they strictly followed canon Ichihime fanart would consist of Orihime pining for Ichigo and him not noticing, but that's not cute, is it?

>>279923635
That artist is clearly a fujo, don't know what the other guy is going on about.

Alright i'm gonna say it
IchiSoiFon & HimeKisuke >>>>>>> Ichiruki & Ichihime anyone that disagrees is a homo

>>279923568
I don't mind ooc in fanarts because they are that, fan arts, but something about dbride depictions seems to rub me the wrong way, i don't feel like that with other IR artists.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=HN_-WaTLD_A&pp=ygUIU2hvdWpvIHM%3D

Best opening.

>>279923847
>>279923568
DangerousBride literally goes off script cause thats the point, anons, how are you not getting this? She even pokes fun at the ending of bleach in one of her comics where Ichigo wakes up next to Rukia talking about a nightmare where he looks like he is balding.

>>279915606
They’re alive in SS but dead in the human world

>>279920646
Cour 4 will be very difficult to talk about IR in any way since normies are going to never shut up about ih and rr, good thing is that zoomers have very low attention spans so as soon the series ends thing might go back to normal.

>>279923922
Is there a dancing rat version?

>>279924047
>Rukia Ichigo team up

>>279923847
True, her fanarts are really unpleasant, Rukia with those lips and that retard behavior is even repulsive

>>279923936
>The only thing They're famous for is the characters doing some random weird ass Yoga pose
We need people like Rusky back

>>279924047
>Ichigo and Rukia teamup
This needs to stop, it's clear shit is never gonna change and it'll never be understood why the final fight went down the way it did. We are STILL getting the fucking silver arrow.

I’m satisfied with all the Ichiruki content. It’s more than your shitty ship will ever get LOL

>>279924047
>Rukia Ichigo team up Urahara hinted in the manga.
Urahara was just apologizing for manipulating Ichigo and Rukia during the whole manga, just before his supposed death.
If Kubo didn't do nothing after this is becase that is the right interpretation of that scene.

>>279924193
>it’s clear shit is never gonna change
It’s still possible cour 4 will have 7 episodes of original content.

>>279923889
It's not just off script, Rukia never would behave like in those fanarts. She is other character in them.

>>279924321
And non of those will have anything about Ichigo and Rukia teaming up or fighting together.

>>279924283
Not him as obviously it's not gonna happen as i said here >>279924193
But it was clearly not an apology for any manipulation, he already did that long ago for Ichigo after he returned and Rukia at some point as he promised Ichigo. It was him basically saying it was just up to them, then it lead to... whatever the fuck that was
>Ichigo and Renji head in
>Oh Aizens fighting
>Now he dissapears to pretend to be Renji as Renji is gone for some reason? Where did he go?
>Ichigo trying for a backstab and it doesn't work despite working with Aizen
>Silver plot Arrow

>>279924321
Thats just added extra fight scenes for Gerard more than likely. The silver arrow is even teased in the preview shit along with Broken Bankai.

>>279924238
Don't lie, you all are so rabid, lol

>>279924353
You have to be brain damaged or something, read what i said again.

>>279924238
That's why IRcucks never shut up about Kubo "betraying" them in the final arc right?

Cour 2 and 3 was so poorly written. It was a struggle to finish 2 alone. It’s like crappy fanfiction of Bleach where everyone is a pure retard with 10x amount of exposition than normal.

>>279924435
It’s almost like different people have different opinions.

>>279924353
NO SHIT, ARE YOU RETARDED?! IT'S A FUCKING BUNCH OF RANDOM FANMADE HENTAI SHIT! YOU DUMB MOTHER FUCKER, DO YOU READ DOUJIN OF YOUR FAVORITE ANIME AND GO
>Whaaaaat?! This girl i like from this anime would never act like this!!!! UNREALISTIC!
Seriously, are you fucking stupid?

Kubo ruined Bleach with his shit writing, again.

>>279924423
Some fanartists are able to write new scenes that never happen in the manga, where the characters can show new facets of their personality, and they get that they look natural, not forced, so we can think that the character can really have a scene like that. Dangerousbride's art is he contrary, it's so so bad in that aspect.

>>279924678
Okay? Cool? That is called preferences, not sure if you have ever heard of that or what but thats what you're thinking of right now. Lots of Fanart doesn't do that, tell me do you look at Luvlyrose art where Ichigo is suddenly a cat and go "Yeah, that totally lines up with the manga and characters themselves!"

>>279924678
Same problem for me, amazing fan arts can make you think, "wow this could happen in canon!"
Dbride doesn't even try to get the characters right, and to be fair she doesn't need to, she can do what she wants, but it's a shame that despite their popularity, none of her arts had a shred of the characters personalities.

>But it was clearly not an apology for any manipulation, he already did that long ago for Ichigo after he returned and Rukia at some point as he promised Ichigo
We didn't see Urahara apologizing to Rukia. And Ichigo and Rukia thanked each other various times during the manga, and already had a closure in the fullbring arc. Why was Urahara to think that Rukia was so powerful to be essential to win with Ichigo? It's absurd.
Kubo didn't have any reason to change what he had planned to write for the final fight of Bleach when only 20 chapters were left. You think you know Kubo's mind, but you should accept that Kubo never thought that the final fight would be Ichigo and Rukia. I think he always thought in Ichigo and Aizen.

>>279923792
Based

>>279925275
You don't have to see Urahara apologizing to Rukia as he promised he would to Ichigo whenever he saw her again which was at the Arrancar arc.
>Why was Urahara to think that Rukia was so powerful to be essential to win with Ichigo?
Royal Palace training? The fact they would team up for plenty of things? It could be plenty of reasons that i can't give you a definitive answer on because i'm not Kubo who brought out the silver arrow out of no where.

Tell me why did he include Renji picking him up suddenly at the end only for Renji to literally not even actually be there at the fight? To suddenly just disappear? Cause he wasn't actually there, that was just Aizens Kyoka Suigetsu bullshit.
>Kubo didn't have any reason to change what he had planned to write for the final fight of Bleach when only 20 chapters were left
He literally does when the quincies were never an actual final enemy of the story, as it revolved entirely around Aizen. The reason it kept going after was cause Jump pushed for it like they always do. So to say he would never have a reason to change what he had planned is a lie in itself. There was a reason Kubo was called a troll and memed on, cause the shit he was writing made no sense, it looked cool but that was it.

>>279925667
It's ai slop, how could you not see it?

>>279925706
>>279925724
>>279925741
Oh damn, it looked close to Van's style, like really really close AI is getting way too good its kinda scary

It has never been an IH theme song.

>>279925775
Please don't respond to the retards, they're the same ones who didn't realize Rapport video was for Ulquihime as well.

>>279925775
>plays exclusively on IH moments in game
lol
lmao
Get fucked Miyavi and your early 2000's outfits

>>279925807
Ulquihime crumbs in 2025 is crazy.

>>279925761
well yeah that's the whole point. it's a machine that lets you make art forgery by just adding copies of all their works to a database.

>>279925856
I understand and i really couldn't tell the difference, it's gotten better at copying the style

>>279925841
The game that added Rukia blushing when talking to Ichigo? And Orihime wanting to stalk them?

>>279925852
They enjoy Ulquihime *shrug*

>>279925890
Liked that scene, game still ran like shit and couldn't launch worth for shit

>>279925890
She's blushing because she's crying from guilt you retard. Ah yes, the side mission that ends with IH and RR.

>>279925611
Kubo never planned that Renji would really participate in the the fight. Renji had his mo ent with Ichigo and that is what Kubo really wanted, not Renji fighting in the final fight. And the royal trainnig doesn't make Rukia powerful enough to be able to fight Yhwach. Aizen and even Ishida are way better for that.
The scene with Urahara is in chapter 666, he manga ends with chapter 686. Even less of 20 chapters and Kubo decides to introduce a scene and then change his mind. That is absurd, and the logical explanation is he didn't change what he was going to do. Some people interpret it wrong

>>279925890
this is what i meant >279925944
They're retarded

https://youtu.be/6-X3rSIBZhk
Speaking of rapport, I like this moment in the special ED they did where the lyrics go "your words broke my chains" and they show Ichigo transforming at Orihime's cries.

>>279925890
>>279925673
>rukia
she's done for.

>>279925990
Did you play the game? I did, the side mission ends with Renji and Rukia holding hands you idiot.

>>279925944
>She's blushing because she's crying from guilt you retard
She didn't blush in the manga though.

>>279924866
whats funny is the japanese ends doesnt even have "her", it just has the kanji for protect. i dont get why the english translation changed it

>>279925985
>Kubo never planned that Renji would really participate in the the fight
So then you're admitting he doesn't plan shit now? Everything was clearly changed at the last minute cause Bleach was ending
>Renji had his moment with Ichigo and that is what Kubo really wanted
Then he didn't need to follow Ichigo on the path to Yhwach and yet again Renji looks like a fucking coward if you're saying thats what he planned with him. So let me try to get this straight Kubo says
>You know what?
>I'm gonna have Renji follow Ichigo on the way to Yhwach
>Help him up
>Encourage him
>Buuuut he doesn't actually join in the fight he ran away or whatever
Seriously?
>And the royal training doesn't make Rukia powerful enough to be able to fight Yhwach
The point was here on actually teaming up to fight Yhwach together to stop him, trying their best as thats what a team up fucking is.
>Aizen and even Ishida are way better for that.
Aizen couldn't even do shit against him and Ishida was just there for Silver arrow

Renji and Aizen were not needed for the final fight. It should have been Ichigo, Isshin, Uryu, and Ryuken avenging Masaki/Katagiri.

>>279926051
In the very same mission Rukia said she is glad Renji showed up because she works better with him than with Ichigo, this people did not play the game.

>>279926138
It should have been literally everyone coming in all to attack, anyone who could still move heading there and not sitting on their asses. Ichigo, Rukia, Isshin, Uryu, Ryuken, Aizen, Nel, Harribel, Renji, etc etc
It's literally right in your face to bring people who were still all good to come in and help.

>Samefags saying we didn't play the game are the same ones saying how Die for Love was for Ichihime not even a few minutes ago
lol

>>279926198
I don't know, that's way too much character bloat even for Kubo. I understand that most characters want to take Yhwach down, but Ichigo, Uryu, and the dads have the most compelling reason to do so. I could have accepted Rukia and Renji if Byakuya ended up dying, but he didn't.

>>279926221
>can't think of any comeback
>"SAMEFAG"

>>279925890
Everyone supports IchiRuki except for Kubo.

>>279921730
After looking him up I still say it’s projection, especially with how he has a strong resemblance to Ichigo and how this all happened before they met. Correct me if I’m wrong but I think Orihime at least had a crush on Ichigo before any of that? I don’t remember desu, I used to think Tatsuki was gonna be pushed lol.

>>279921836
Never considered Ishihime but it’s too bad Ulquihime’s dead.

>>279926251
It may be giant character bloat, but it was clearly a better move to do instead of 'le silver arrow out of my asshoe!' cause this is quite literally the big final boss, one that can fuck with time why would you not throw everyone at him all together?

>279926271
>Couldn't even read the rest of my post
Cope~

why do this cancerous ship threads are the only ones to reach bump limits? are you all a bunch trannies and faggots?

>>279926221
>>279926271
So the song was written because of Ichiruki but was used for Ichihime moments. That's pretty much it, right? Why do you guys care about shit like this? It's a fucking video game.

>>279926315
Save us from this sinners chicken man!

You guys think Momo is the same age as Rukia and Renji and co?

>>279926289
>why would you not throw everyone at him all together?
Kubo doesn't know how to use his cast or their abilities, see Chad and Orihime as an example. If this actually happened everybody outside of Ichigo, Kenpachi, Urahara, and Aizen (war potentials) would get BTFO.

At least let's end this shit thread properly!

>>279926317
The song was used through many fights, creator just liked Ichiruki but developers decided to use the song for every fucking thing. Any way, i called the game shit cause it could not run, buggy as hell, Launch problems for a whole first week, controls are really awful for a fight game like that.

>>279926366
let's end this whole website

>>279926357
>Kubo doesn't know how to use his cast or their abilities
Alright fair point, my bad, was using logic on how to properly end a big bad like Yhwach but forgot about Kubo doing that shit.

>>279926377
its pretty much dead. these ship wars dont compare to the ones from 2016

This entire thread?

Last for tits

i still think it should have been nel desu

>can heal like orihime
>can fight like rukia
>prettier than both
>sexier than both
>would actually pursue ichigo unlike orihime
>actually protected him successfully when orihime didnt

>>279922617
I’m gonna sound autistic but that first one bugs me for how ooc it is. Plus yeah, the ugly art style.

>>279926464
Why does candice have the weed logo on her bra?

>>279926091
Do you seriusly are unable to understand the most simply, on you face, writing? You distort the most simply, easy to understand, explanations into some paranoid ideas.
Kubo wanted the scene of Renji talking with Ichigo, Renji helping Ichigo, so carrying him, and so they can have their nakama moment, so Renji can thank him and have the closure in the manga of their friendship.
Rukia is way more weak than Aizen, Ishida, Byakuya, etc. Why was going Urahara to think in her for the final fight with Yhwach. Accept the reality Kubo never thought in her for he final fght.

I am here to save this thread!

>>279926460
It's not really OOC since Ichigo warmed up to her drawings. Kubo drew a little comic about it.

>>279926478
>Do you seriusly are unable to understand the most simply, on you face, writing?

>>279926487
based time to go reread ichigos secret trainer!

>>279926138
Bleach is one of those series, like Dragon Ball, where the storytelling decisions are dictated by popularity and less about what makes sense from a writing standpoint. That's also why Renji got added into the main cast and Chad got neglected in turn. Or the Gotei 13 completely taking over, and Ichigo's friends (and Ichigo himself) getting sidelined in the final arc.

Last for Nelliel!

>>279926559
Dragon Ball was fun all the way through. I can't say the same for Bleach.

>>279926584
got any soifon?

>>279926639
Here you go!

>>279926559
Ichigo has too much panel time in comparison with the rest of characters. Do we really need more?

>>279926652
Based got more?

>>279926559
I prefer the shinigami. But i could do with way less arrancars and quincies

So many hot babes in the manga and you faggots rather argue about pairings like low t cucks KYS

>>279926656
Not him but yes? He is the main character, was hugely involved against Yhwach since
1. Masaki
2. Attacked Hueco mundo where nel was
3. Quincy shit since hes full hybrid
You don't just add all that shit then side line him for no reason?
Broke his Bankai so you'll never see why Yhwach was terrified of it
Stomped by super top Sternritter off screen despite being "Number 1 war potential threat"

>>279926559
I was in shock when I read the manga only and found out how terrible Ichigo’s friends were treated. I grew up with Bleach on fillers and movies so I had no idea it was that bad.

>>279926750
Maybe Kubo was smoking weed when he wrote the final arc to cope with pain.

>>279926892
Heika!

>>279926697
Destined to become Yushiro's concubine, give birth to a dozen Shihoin babies, and enjoy every minute of it.

>>279926559
Ichigo is number 1 in popularity polls, and Rukia 2, only Hitsugaya's popularity is on par with them. Why Kubo was going to sideline them if they are then most popular ones? The only characters that had too popularity in comparison with their role in the series are Hitsugaya, Hisagi, Kira and Hinamori. Kira and Hinamori don't appear much in the manga, and Hisagi only lately.

>>279926970
Kubo is very weird, he does fanservice but also seems to not care about fan demand, like by making Mayuri in the final arc more important than Rukia just because he likes him.

>>279927028
Which is why his manga flopped and the last arc had so much controversy.

>>279926970
was orihime popular?

>>279927028
Kubo is weird, but so are the fans. I remember when the final arc was starting and everyone was hype for the bankai reveals and then people started complaining about everyone getting one. A lot of Bleachfags are in a love-hate relationship with the series.

>>279927081
Was in the top 10 in three out four popularity polls so I would say like, middle popularity.

I would say props to Kubo for not catering to fans and sticking to his vision for better or worse but then he revived Byakuya so fuck him.

>>279927268
Kubo doesn’t like to kill off characters he does fake outs. Someone explain why the fuck we needed Dordorni or whatever the fuck his name was wasting time when we could be developing the MAIN CAST.

>>279927268
Why the fuck did he revive Byakuya? Even so many years later i do not understand that

>>279927333
you're welcome!

>>279927365
>I’m known for being a shit writer!
What a great legacy.

>>279927333
He's a pretentious hack. He likes to pretend his writing is deep and subtle when in reality is shallow and lazy.

>>279927268
Oda killed Ace
Kishi killed Neji
Kubo killed... Yamamoto's lieutenant lmao

>>279927466
And Yamamoto, and Gin, and Ulquiorra.

Nobody cared... about Bleach... *dies*

This is what Horikoshi has said about why there is little romance in his weries, and I think a lot of authors think that:
>Question: Chapter 431 focuses on Deku and Ochako. In My Hero Academia, there wasn't much focus on romance, was there any reason for that?

>Horikoshi: Instead of wanting to portray romance in the story, I just wanted to show the contrast between Ochako and Toga with their views on love. Since romance is a very strong stimulus, as soon as you include it into the story, that's all anyone is going to talk about, so I deliberately avoided adding it to the story.

>However, since the setting of the series is at school after all, it would be rather dishonest to completely ignore romance, so it was pretty hard to think of a balance.

>Thankfully, since Deku was always doing other things, he was unaware of any romantic feelings, and it turned out to be a good thing for me [since Horikoshi didn't want to include romance in the main plot].

I think Kubo especially doesn't want that the romance is what fans would talk the mist about his manga, and because if that he said there are things more interesting that the characters can do than to talk about their love lifes.

Last for true love!

HE OWNS ALL OF YOU!

The best crew!

true love
