At this moment that he knew, he fucked up

When a person is sanitised, they are taken over and killed, and return as a part of Tartar's hivemind. 10,007 have been taken.

Agent 3 and Number 10,008 met for the first time as enemies. They meet again for a rematch at the end of 8's journey through the Metro, Agent 3 in the process of being sanitised, and puppeted by the Commander. Agent 3 is rescued before he can die and be fully sanitised, and 8 gets to see the sun. The first string begins to unravell.

A great subversion of Bleach's storyline would have been if Isshin hadn't been involved in any way, in giving back Ichigo's powers...

Nothing from the World of the Living.

The entire plan had been made in Soul Society. Urahara would be involved, but we would have been absent from the main plot and we would have found out later on that he'd been in the Seireitei all this time, working with Mayuri. (I hate him, but I would be willing to throw him a bone on this one...)

Everyone would question where Isshin had been. Why had he not been involved in helping his son?

Then, when TYBW came around, we would find out that instead of that so-called love story between Isshin and Masaki, the Shiba Clan had actually always been shady as fuck, imprisoned and banned for valid reasons and Isshin himself wanted power and was in an alliance with the Quincy. (unbeknownst to Masaki)

He was not a awkward father who nonetheless loved his kids. He'd be power hungry, willing to sacrifice his first born into the crystal prison, to ascend to Squad Zero and somewhat rule over the Soul Society.

Squad Zero and Isshin manipulating and "allowing" Yhwach and the Sternritter's invasion?

Amazing.

Us being shown that Yhwach wasn't as powerful as he believed, the Almighty was just "fireworks"? Ichibei and Isshin being the actual villains since the beginning?

Byakuya, Rukia and Renji taking on Ichibei as Ichigo, Hitsugaya and Matsumoto had to fight Isshin?

Chef's kiss...

Ichigo having to cut ties permanently with his human side and the World of the Living after having to deal the final blow on his own father, would have been arrowing and emotional...

And I would have loved it.

what was the casting process like for the bright sessions? :O

initially, there was hardly any process to speak of! every cast member in the original run of TBS (seasons 1-4) were people I met in acting class or friends of friends. here's the breakdown -

Julia Morizawa - met in an acting class at BGB Studio Briggon Snow - BGB Anna Lore - met in improv 101 at UCB Charlie Ian - BGB Andrew Nowak - BGB Alex Gallner - friend of Briggon's Ian McQuown - friend of Anna's Alex Marshall-Brown - friend of Anna's and Ian's Phillip Jordan - BGB Alanna Fox - BGB Reyn Beeler - part of the ars paradoxica cast! aka friend of Mischa's

as you can see, that weekly class at BGB Studio in North Hollywood was the place for TBS casting lol - there were so many great actors that moved through that Sunday night class, but all of us were in class with each other at one point or another, and having that experience of acting together really helped I think.

when I started the show, I knew I wanted to act in it and I wanted to write a role for Anna, my best friend. but I actually didn't know Julia or Briggon that well - I just admired their acting and took a swing in asking them. that worked so well that then it was like....okay, well BGB is my actor pool now (I remember vividly the moment that Charlie was doing a scene in class and Julia and I looked at each other and had a silent conversation of "oh THERE'S our Damien").

season 5 (the bright sides - the bonus episodes) was similar. Michael Felix (who plays Austin) was someone we found through auditions, but everyone else was an actor either I knew or the writer of the episode knew, including folks from other podcasts! then, for seasons 6 and 7, the spin-offs, we just did a very traditional casting process, including in person auditions for season 6 (we recorded season 7 in 2020).

CLONE OR 8?

Crazy theory hear me out what if what ever is happening killed 8 and this new 8 is a clone, or 8 is suffering trauma from their lost memories and the clones are just 8 shedding inconsistencies in her memory........or maybe 8 got infected by a brain coral parasite and it's slowly consuming her mind and this dlc is 8 body and mind fighting back with aid from the inner versions of off the hook

Marina, where are you?

[fairy-lights-and-blobs]

Sorry to all of you DPxDC fans, but it's Bleach hours right now.

And I had a thought:

Fullbringers get their powers from leftover Hollow Reiatsu being left behind after a Hollow attacked their mother.

That's something we all know.

But most, chief among them Tite Kubo, seem to have forgotten that White was made specifically to be akin to a Viral Infection towards his targets. Ichigo, born a weird mishmash of everything, is part-Holow because of that.

Therefore, his Fullbring also IS infectious, because of the Hollow that made it possible, right?

Enter stage left...Kugo Ginjo, Fulbring Thief, and all around Bastard. Who's hearing up to take Ichigo's Fullbring for himself.

What if he got Infected by White's poison, which Ichigo almost certainly produces as part of his Hollow side?

Rapid resolution to the Lost Agent arc:

Ginjo steals Ichigo's Fullbring. Gloats about it, like the Machiavellian bastard that he fancies himself as, and goes to pay Ichigo back for all his help by killing him.

Except, now there's a nasty Hollowfying Infection digging it's claws into his soul.

Right in the middle of their headquarters. Where every single other Fullbringer is also stationed to stop Ichigo from tearing his head off before the process is finished.

And what are Fullbringers if now a source of extra Hollow Reiatsu, ripe for the taking for a young, newborn Menos?

Meanwhile, Shiro is cackling like mad in Ochigo's mind, watching this train wreck happen. It's poetic. Horrifyingly beautiful poetry in motion, of Ginjo being hoisted by his own petard.

Ichigo's friends, also known as a significant part of the Gotei 13, come in hoping to restore Ichigo's Shinigami powers just in time for him to fight off Ginjo...only to see a Hollow quickly growing into a Fucking Menos after it's morning snack, and Ichigo trying to play distraction while Uryu tries to turn it into a pin cushion.

@sunflowersandcherryblossoms Thoughts? Does that make sense?

It's the Bright family! They're a disfunctional bunch, but............ yeah, there's no defending some of them, but they're still my little blorbos 💖
