Bleach fans: What did you think about the Bleach ending?

Specifically this is about everything after the 10 year time skip, and includes the ending for all of the characters but especially the main characters (Ichigo, Uryu, Chad, Orihime, Rukia, and Renji). This is not just about ships, it’s about where the characters ended up. I want to know what people think about the ending as a whole.

Feel free to tell me what you like or don't like about it

BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Conflict episode 1 review

After almost a year Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood war anime is back on the air! I would be lying if I wrote I hadn't been expecting it to come last month (September) because the second cour started to appear back then. But it's a good thing the cour 3 finally started!

Despite that, I think the first episode was a bit mid. The sole reason is the fact almost half of the episode was a recap of last cour's two last fights. Don't get me wrong, I still think Senjumaru's fight against the Quincies was epic, and seeing her Bankai was wonderful. Ichibe going against Yhwach was also something to be mesmerized about, but because those fights were so epic...at least I could remember those as clearly as if I had just yesterday finished watching cour 2's last episodes. Even so, while I found it a bit puzzling why there was such a recap, I could somehow understand it. It'll give the animators (hopefully) a budget for other epic scenes yet to come and once the anime finally truly picked itself, it felt just a natural continuation. Even so...it made me question 'what if they had cut out that recap and used that time for something else?'

But moving on. The third cour only kicked on after that recap and just like every manga reader would know, it was this time the quincies turn to win. The manga never showed us how, so seeing how Yhwach and Uryuu brought down both Ichibe and Senjumaru was interesting.

I really liked Uryuu's comeback against Senjumaru. I believe we haven't really seen Uryuu going so strongly against anyone except at the very beginning of the Bleach Mayuri. Which Senjumaru made the comparison. It almost made me laugh when she made that comment. It was like her breaking indirectly the fourth wall!

Yhwach vs. Ichibe was epic. The fact Ichibe broke down to that poem-ish singing middle of the fight to bring a new side of his Bankai (as youngsters these days would call it [talk about Ichibe and Senjumaru slaying things with their witty choice of words]) was epic. The animation was also epic. It felt very unique and refreshing, despite the fact there was some 3D here and there, but the makers still made it work. Too bad, Yhwach had seen that all and claimed his victory just like Uryuu who ended up playing Senjumaru like back with Mayuri, but hopefully this time without as big a cost as with Mayuri. Truly. Uryuu vs. Senjumaru felt like a parallel to Uryuu vs. Mayuri. But with that twist, this time Uryuu was the bad guy -at least from a certain perspective.

I also felt a strong parallel when Ichibe asked Ichigo to stop Yhwach. I don't know, but that parallel felt like a parallel to Kisuke? I can't now remember (it has been quite a long time) if Kisuke ever asked Ichigo to protect Soul Society or sort of, but the way Ichibe talked, his behavior, and the fact 'you don't have to kill the Quincy King (Yhwach) to protect Soul King, just stop him' just gave me massive Kisuke vibes asking things from Ichigo. I know many other shinigami have asked Ichigo to protect Soul Society when they haven't or sort of, but this...just like déja vu. I feel like this episode as a whole had lots of parallels. It was...interesting from that perspective.

Yhwach thrusting his blade to Soul King felt very ominous at the end. That and paired with the next episode's title, we can expect something epic next time!

Plus, the hint of Kyoraku going to see Aizen? I can't wait to see Aizen joining the fryer, since it won't just be your usual social visit Kyoraku will do.

Lastly, the opening of this cour is just epic. I really love the aesthetic of a monochrome setting with hints of color. It capture's viewer's sight of certain things while making the viewer somewhat 'blind' to other things that might occur. The ending made me giggle as the music sounds so upbeat and happy-happy, even though the words aren't that happy-go-lucky nor are the animations. But the beat being like that after things end with an ominous note? Yeah, talk about the contrast between things. In fact, the ending felt like playing with contrasts as Uryuu was on the side of the 'darkness' while Ichigo was on the side of 'light', yet in the end...they felt like just two opposites of the same coin, meeting somewhere in-between. The midnight sun was something that caught my attention when I watched the ending and read the lyrics of the song. It was obviously a figure of speech, but somehow...it felt a significant one. Also, once again, the fact the ending song's name was 'MONOCHROME' while the opening was almost fully monochrome felt like a huge parallel between the two things. In fact, the whole episode felt like it had lots of parallels...

I know that the ending was rushed, but there are still so many things that I want to know. I hope the anime gives us answers. Like wht happened to Aizen after they killed Yhwach? He was actually free and considering his powers, he could've easily escaped? I know they were all tired after the fight, but Aizen is a power household so I know for sure that he could've escaped.

When you're rewatching the early episodes of Bleach, absolutely focused on the plot and then the series hits you with the "🎶happy people 🗣️🎶" ending

[littlefankingdom]

Bruce Wayne is canonically a very handsome man (he is called a "pretty boy" and he is in his 40s, for fuck's sake), and he is pretty famous as a rich philanthropist who doesn't want to leave his awful cursed crime infested city. So, there must be a ton of people thirsting over him on the internet. Fancams, edits, fanfics and imagines ("kidnapped with Bruce Wayne 😍 by a Gotham rogue"), the whole charade!

And anytime one of the batkids stumbles on a thirst post, they have the most dramatic disgusted reaction, loudly gagging, before sending the link to the batkids chat, because if they must suffer, then they should all suffer. Clicking on a link in this groupchat is like playing russian roulette, and getting rickrolled is a good ending.

Bleach art dump!! The hyperfixation you had from your 11 to 16yo never leaves

[beyondallodds]

THINKING! About a fanfic with a reader-insert, where the plot goes along normally. They're part of the main characters, they defeat villains, they know everyone's futures and past, help them with their struggles – but one little thing.

No one knows their name.

They're a foreign-exchange student? The teachers are wondering who tf "Y/N" or "[ name ]" is, but whenever they have to call them out, they suddenly voice out the name.

They randomly appeared in the destination you were supposed to be in? What's that literal BLUR on the ground that LOOKS like a human being?

Might not even be a human being. Could be a slime.

Whenever characters think about them, their characteristics always blurs; what hair? What clothing? Do they have siblings? Why're they so quirky and involved in everyone's lives?

It's seemingly just the little things you're meant to know about someone.

But after they marry the main lead, sharing a last name, suddenly.. it all becomes clear. They gain a name.

That's [ Y/N ] [ L/N ]. You don't know them? Neither do I.

I don’t really want there to be a hell arc. There’s plenty of problems with how the story ended up after the 10 year time skip and I don’t think we need to see more of that. I find it hand to care about Ichika and Kazui since we haven’t gotten to see their development like we have the main character. It also looks like the arc is going to cut out the other humans entirely to focus entirely on the soul reapers, which sits wrong with me since the humans have been at the core of this story this whole time.

Still feeling salty regarding the ending? Still arguing with origos and IH fans about who Ichigo’s true love is? Don’t worry gang, I got you.

Remember this?

This single detail is the reason why I don’t feel anything regarding the ending anymore. And it’s crazy cause we were so focused on who Ichigo and Rukia married that we all forgot about this very important detail

Ichigo dated, married and even had a kid with Inoue. Did Yhwach ever came back during these moments? Moments that were supposed to be the happiest moments of his life? No. Same thing for Rukia.

Chad became a boxer, his promise to his grandpa? To the trash. Uryu became a doctor, the very thing he despised, and will never be able to realize his grandpa’s dream of a coexistence between shinigamis and quincies, cause his entire race has been annihilated. Inoue had to drop out of college and the only reason her and Ichigo became a thing is bc Renji pushed him to date her. Wow great. Rukia is not a Kuchiki anymore. Renji has been unreciprocated as well through the whole manga. And Ichigo? Condemned to live a mundane life as a boring translator with someone he’s not happy with.

So yes IH and RR happened, but trust me, they’re not happy. Nobody in the gang is truly happy. And yk what the gag is? Yhwach comes back when Ichigo and Rukia start arguing again.

So now stop wasting your time with antis with big ass paragraphs. If you do, just use what you know now. If they still find a way to argue about this? They’re just delusional and don’t wanna see the truth about their so-called “happy ending” So take a deep breath, let that sink in, and find the peace you never got since 2016❤️

KISS UNDER THE MISTLETOE 

They say, “All good boys go to heaven.” But bad boys bring heaven to you.

New Year’s Eve finds you at the house of a dear friend, surrounded by your beloved friends, chatting, eating and drinking, as you await for the new year to arrive. Just a small gathering of good friends. 

And while everyone is marvelling and discussing the present their secret santa brought them, he finds his chance to sneak you out of the living room. The devilish smirk on his lips tells you all you need to know; this demon has one last trick up his sleeve as the year is nearing its end. 

He pulls you to an empty hallway, away from prying eyes. You don’t have the time to even ask what he’s planning, when you feel his hands sliding up the skirt of your dress. You watch him completely frozen as he tears a hole into your tights, your eyes darting towards the lively party, scared that someone might walk in after hearing the sound. 

“Don’t worry,” he purrs in your ear, biting your earlobe. “They can’t hear a thing with the music.” 

“What are you…” Your sentence trails off as your eyes widen, watching him slide your panties to the side and kneel down. 

“We’re under a mistletoe,” he says cockily, kissing your inner thigh, while pointing at the mistletoe hanging on the light above your heads. “I gotta kiss your lips.” 

Blushed, you reply, “I don’t think that’s how it’s done.” 

“Nobody said which set of lips I gotta kiss.” 

You want to smack him, but you can’t. He buries his face between your thighs, eating you out shamelessly, not caring if someone passes by and sees you. You cover your mouth with your hands, trying to muffle your moans. 

It’s only when you start hearing the commotion, the telltale sign that the countdown is going to start soon. He’s quick to get back on his feet. You think you’ll return to the living room, even though you’re too frustrated he got you worked up but didn’t let you finish. Before you can even move to leave, he kisses you, pinning you against the wall, letting you taste yourself on him. 

You hear the unmistakable sound of him unbuckling his belt and unzipping his trousers and you tense. You look at him pleadingly and he meets your gaze with his arrogant, challenging one. You feel him rub his cock on your glistening folds. But even if you wanted to push him away, he’s too strong, holding you captive, trapped between his solid body and the hard wall. 

He pushes the crown of his cock onto your hole, but not yet pushing it in, just teasing you. He kisses your neck and you hate how he’s got you turned on, all wrapped up around his finger—his cock—loving how you start to grind your hips against him, trying to take him into your aching pussy. 

He thrusts inside you, his hands holding your waist, as his kiss devours your moans. Your little cunt is gripping him so tightly, he feels he might cum right now. But first, he needs to finish what he started earlier—when he started eating you out, only to leave you hanging on the verge of your impending orgasm. 

The countdown begins a few minutes later. 

“10… 9… 8… 7…” 

He kisses your neck, as you bite your lip against your moans and whimpers, the sound of skin slapping against skin barely registering over the chaos in the living room. 

“6… 5… 4…” 

You feel your orgasm reaching its peak, him having to kiss you to prevent you from screaming his name as he fucks you straight into the new year. 

“3… 2… 1…” 

You hear fireworks signalling the start of the new year. But you’re too lost in your own explosion, shuddering against him, as your orgasm floods your body like a tidal wave. You want to be mad, but your mind is too lost in your orgasmic bliss to properly glare at him.

“Happy new year, my love,” he whispers on your lips with his signature cocky smirk. 

“Happy new year, bastard,” you retort breathlessly, kissing him again.

I'M SORRY, KUCHIKI. SEEMS LIKE I'M ALWAYS MAKING THINGS HARD FOR YOU... THERE ARE TWO TYPES OF BATTLES… YOU UNDERSTAND, DON'T YOU, KUCHIKI?

About Bleach ship wars

I’ve just found out Kubo said he was listening to the auditions for Kazui, which of course made me think to Bleach ships and I needed to get one thing or two off my chest.

I’m not even a IchiRuki shipper (I’ve always been more interested by the relationship between Ichigo and Uryū anyway), but it always amazed me how Ichihime fans can’t seem to understand why some people ship IchiRuki so hard. Their most common argument being “Blame the anime”.

If Ichihime fans want to blame somebody, it should be Kubo. He’s the one who, even until now, keeps promoting IchiRuki and focusing on them. If he had written Ichihime so perfectly, like their stans claim it, there wouldn’t be ship wars at all. After the Bount Arc, Kubo was involved in the anime and had all the power to develop his endgame couple. Did he do so? Nope, never. So stop blaming Abe because Kubo could very well do Ichihime fillers if he was interested in it. But he wasn’t and still isn’t. Probably never will. Doesn’t sell enough, I guess.

A canon couple doesn’t mean it is a good couple.

Shinichi and Ran from Detective Conan? Jinshi and MaoMao from The Apothecary Diaries? God, you can feel how much the boy fell in love for his girl, and how much romantic tension there is between the couples. It is literally thrown at your face. Ichigo? He has never shown love towards Hime, not in the romantic sense. Orihime loving Ichigo isn’t a golden ticket to have Ichigo love her back. If Kubo really planned IH from the start, as he said (my ass), I’m genuinely worried because the non endgame pairings (Ishihime and Ulquihime) had more chemistry than the canon pairings.

Do I think Ichigo should absolutely have ended with Rukia instead, then? As I said, I’m not a IchiRuki shipper, so no. I wasn’t expecting this couple, since they are from two different worlds and work perfectly fine as friends, soulmates or whatever Kubo think they are. What’s more, Ichigo not being an orphan (unlike Naruto, where I can understand the reason to make him marry and have children), I don’t see the need for him to absolutely have a wife and kids. He seems like the type who can live alone without any problems. You can be alone and still succeed and be content with your life. Or do people living alone means they all failed in life? Anyway, I still doubt the relevance of a time skip over an open ending; Kubo would have avoided many problems.

However, I understand why people ship IchiRuki: they have legitimate reasons to (Rukia’s name, drawings, symbolisms, etc.) IH has none of that, and Kubo can add as many IH scenes in cour 4 and listen as many auditions of Kazui as he wants, Ichihime will never be a great couple. Kubo developing IchiRuki so much and being surprised when out of nowhere he made a pairing he doesn’t care in the slightest canon will always be funny to me.

Besides, shipping aside, they all deserve better (especially Uryū, give my man all the love in the world, he deserves it). But as long as their pairing is canon, I guess Ichihime fans don’t feel concerned too much about the ending.
