Kakashi Hatake Posted October 10, 2012 Report Share Posted October 10, 2012 I also feel like Yama's death was a little empty. Like I should've been feeling something more, but I couldn't :/Yeah, it was so anti-climatic. Though, I guess killing him like he's a common foot-soldier shows the power of the enemy.Are you thinking what I'm thinking about that mystery explosion? ... and "Zero Division"?

Fusion X. Denver Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I am wondering about a few things.-When is the past of Ichigo's family going to come into play?-Who put a sword in Urahara's face?-What will the rest of the Gotei 13 do now? How will they power-up for the inevitable rematch?-Did Juha going to Aizen mean anything, or was that merely to dissuade the readers from the idea of Aizen returning?-Why's Ichigo in a cage when he could level Mt. Fuji in one swing... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kakashi Hatake Posted October 11, 2012 Report Share Posted October 11, 2012 I am wondering about a few things.-When is the past of Ichigo's family going to come into play?I really wanna know if Issin Kuroaski met Ichigo's mother before or after he became a shinigami. If after, why would he leave Soul Society?-Who put a sword in Urahara's face?I have no idea. Maybe Grimjow.-What will the rest of the Gotei 13 do now? How will they power-up for the inevitable rematch?They won't.-Did Juha going to Aizen mean anything, or was that merely to dissuade the readers from the idea of Aizen returning?I hope Aizen doesn;t get flushed down the spirit toilet like the rest of Seretei.-Why's Ichigo in a cage when he could level Mt. Fuji in one swing...Plot. Tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sleepy Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 After the beginning of the series, my little brother started buying the manga.At the bounto arch, my brother felt a bit less entretained.After the start of the "Chu bura" opening, my brother and me dropped the anime.After the dissapointment of some Espadas, and the lack of updates in the stores around here, my brother stopped buying the manga.After the appearance of "Reina de Rosas" (a random arrancar that was sent to destroy one of the pillars back when Aizen), my brother said "am I gonna be waiting for over a year to eventually buy a full volume about two men fighting over who's prettier?" and just donated his Bleach volumes to the school's library.The end of Aizen's arch was meh, the fullbring one was worse, the hell arch teaser chapter ended up being just to promote a non-canon movie, and now there is a general idea that Kubo is not doing a good job here.After the "twins" backstory thrown in in the last minute to justify why Yamamoto was going to lose, I lost all the respect I had for the author as a writter. I'm really just following because I started reading it one day, and it's gotten pretty long so, I want to know how it ends. I am now wondering how he managed to pull such awesomeness at the beginning of the series.... surely something must have happened... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fusion X. Denver Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I am now wondering how he managed to pull such awesomeness at the beginning of the series.... surely something must have happened... More than anything, I honestly believe Bleach's problem is it has too many characters.The reason the Hueco Mundo arc dragged so long was because we had to see every Gotei 13 member fight and see every Arrancar soldier with a bit of focus when in reality it clogged up the story. Kubo even admitted whenever he was stuck on story progression, he'd make up a new character to help things out.The abundance of characters has made the majority of the cast static and left little room for others to develop.

Phantom Roxas Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 It doesn't help that recently characters have been killed off as soon as they were introduced, and in cases such as the twins and other Stern Ritter, were formally introduced after the fact.

D.A._Sakuyamon Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Well.............as long as kenny and Urahara aren't dead then there is a sight chance that kenny could learn more about his bankei. Or at the very least, learn more about kennys past. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look at Naruto and DBZ. As time went on and more and more characters started showing up the old ones just became useless. Honestly, part of what makes One Piece so good is that by it being an island series they can introduce a bunch of characters and come arcs end they can just move on. It also helps that Oda normally gives them some development. It also doesn't help Bleach that Kubo has no idea how to pace a series causing the chapters to have the weight of a feather and needing like a months worth just to get things done. I REALLY want to make a drinking game where whenever you see a page without any dialog or almost no text you take a shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's also very true; it's amazing when you look at the later parts of the anime and see how they had to cope with catching up so quick. The later episodes in the Fullbring arc would spend over 5 minutes rehashing what happened the previous episode. You make a good point about it with different animes, but I feel like Kubo "wastes time" on a lot more of them than he should, if that makes sense.

Phantom Roxas Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Also: • A character appearing behind another.• A limb being severed. Take two shots if the person was bifurcated instead.• A panel where a person's foot is the focus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, just looks at how much actually happens on any given page or several page. So much of Bleach is just giant pictures, and yes, when done well they have an impact (Yama getting cut in two is a decent example) but its just so often that it happens that the series moves at a snails pace.

Fusion X. Denver Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 I'm assuming Kubo's kept up with the shitty pacing for the sake of consistency and also because he's aware of the dipping popularity, so he's doing things his way anyways, but I'm wondering if he'll learn from his mistakes with Bleach for whatever manga he writes next.Like not doing so many one panel pages, double-spreads, maybe make some backgrounds, cutting his cast size down, try injecting more dialogue, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Jesse Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 oh I just noticed something [spoiler=stuff]Chapter 503, page 10 Compare the pattern on his left eye on the bottom panel to that of this mask http://images2.wikia...go_2nd_Mask.jpg Too uncannily similar to just be blood Then compare the dialogue of this page to the dialogue on chapter 350, page 2 I'm pretty sure Ichigo is the one popping out, now might be old Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though, Ichigo does have a need to protect his loved ones and it will definately be Ichigo popping out. But wanna know something? WE HAVEN'T SEEN ICHIGO'S NEW HOLLOW MASK YET. EVERYTHING ELSE CHANGED SO IT HAD TO ASWELL. NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT, I CAN'T WAIT!! THE ONLY WAY HE COULD'VE GOTTEN MORE POWER IS BY USING HIS HOLLOW POWERS SO I REALLY WANNA SEE 'EM NOW.

I wouldn't put it past him see: naming the chapter with Juha Bach's first appearence Buckbeard http://www.luontoportti.com/suomi/en/kukkakasvit/bucks-beard http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astilbe The form of buck’s-beard’s flowers makes it look somewhat similar to genus Astilbe plants, but these are in fact members of a completely different family, the Saxifrage family. "Astilbe is a genus of 18 species of rhizomatous flowering plants, within the family Saxifragaceae, native to mountain ravines and woodland in Asia and North America. Some species are commonly known as false goat's beard, and false spirea." Juha was going to be an imposter from the beginning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine Jesse Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Who looks that deep into this crap?!kubo tite But seriously There's symbolism and foreshadowing everywhere in Bleach if you pay attention It obviously doesn't impact the quality of the series to any significant degree, but there was not a single twist in the series that wasn't foreshadowed to some extent, even the much-maligned Yammy as the 0 Espada and H2 Ichigo moments- both could be seen from a mile away (and were rather obvious) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
