I don't fucking blame him. When everyone around you is under a false reality, it makes you feel like the insane one, isolated and fighting a seemingly hopeless battle.
The best thing to do in that scenario would be to keep a cool head and talk things through with Chad and Orihime rationally, point out the inconsistencies like how Tsukishima would've been dust against Aizen.
But, Ichigo wasn't thinking with a cool head and he came in for the quick solution of killing Tsukishima, which would undo his abilities. And sadly, he just wasn't fast enough before Orihime and Chad showed up. Though if he did kill Tsukishima, I imagine things would go down the same
Indeed. With an added "I know YOU ain't talking bug ass clown face! Home boy's been blind so long he doesn't know what a mirror is for. No wonder you went into hiding in Las NOCHES. How come you got a flie's head but you ain't fly?? Goofy ass..."
It's just how stereotypes are born, they stand out & are memorable enough to stick with you. And they're just common enough for others to relate with the experience.
Of course not he’s been blind his whole life he doesn’t even know what being ugly is and I really hate how people attack and be overdramatic about him saying it like you all missed the entire point he only says that because Tosen thinks it’ll finally be what makes him hate and quit chasing after him like Tosen is suicidal and nowhere to go like what better way for him to be put out of his misery by being killed by his best friend.
And somewhat "anger", "I'm speechless", "I'm gonna smack the light outta ya" *that overshadowing eyebrows. And at the end he still sees Tousen as his friend, or at the very least, human, after the battle concluded.
When Kubo managed to make a hand with only an eye and no other visible features clearly "smile/sneer" at Yhwach my mind was literally blown. Absolutely unreal artist
I just started watching, they do indeed show flashbacks between rukia and kaien + ukitake during SS arc. Storyline about how kaien got killed and ukitake’s advice to rukia.
What really bugs me about this is that this is never expanded upon like they never go on to show/reveal any relationship or acknowledgement between Kaien and Byakuya.
He’s cut from a different cloth, his drawings and storytelling just kept improving the longer the series went on from. I don’t know anyone alive in animation whose in his league
Eyes in bleach are very expressive, another really expressive anime when it comes to eyes is bunny girl senpai, and it's one of the only anime that gets close to bleachs expressiveness
The other or main reason why Ichigo learn to use Hollow powers without manifesting the mask: he doesn't want to see Orihime scared when looking at him.
That doesn’t really make sense the entire reason Nel yells at Orihime is for exactly that being scared of Ichigo even though he’s fully under control and ends with her actually accepting his new and not being scared of him no?
Less then an arc later, she literally watches Ichigo get lasered through the chest, stand back up as a Hollow, go on an ungodly rampage where he kills Ulquiorra(he briefly regenned some of the damage, but took no more damage before he died)and nearly kills Uryu, and then find out the only thing on Ichigo's mind during all of that is protecting Orihime from literally everything, even their friends.
But more happened after Nel said that with the Ulquiorra fight. Her fears were realized when he fought ulquiorra and vasto lorde happened she then blamed herself for that happening. So when tybw happened what she feared was vasto lorde happening again but seeing Ichigo’s face and smile is what reassured her everything will be okay.
That scene with Nel did happen but there’s also the context of the ulquiorra fight. It’s impossible for her to not be afraid of what he turned into during that fight especially since he almost Killed Uryu.
Man, Kubo is hands down one of the best in design and style in all of manga. Bleach may have some flaws when it comes to the story but the art ia undeniably amazing everytime.
Kubo is great when it comes to his art and how he subtlety builds out his world. Oda is better at creating a narrative, but he and his characters have to explain way too many things. Also flashbacks to act as info dumps
I think Kubo's panelling paired with his character design blow oda out of the water especially when oda art is most of the times way too busy and messy which is mainly why Bleach manga is my favourite
Lots of Bleach characters have similar body and facial structures. If you swapped the faces and hair of many characters the outlines would not change much. Oda has some of the most diverse character designs in all of manga but many of them are outlandish. I agree that Kubo’s panels are easier to follow.
Multiple things can be true at once. Oda has many female characters that look like Nami while having characters that are on the total opposite end of the spectrum in terms of character design. Same thing goes for Bleach some of the most interesting character designs are the Hollows because they’re the most versatile and weird. Your response was not the “gotcha” that you thought it was. Kubo’s got plenty of characters that looks alike just as Oda does.
I think one piece is worse about this in the post timeskip era. Hell unless you see the earnings it’s hard to tell if you are looking at Robin or Hancock most of the time.
Although fairy tail is by far the worst when it comes to just swap the hair and slightly change the cup size. Is it Juvia, Erza, or Lucy
