#bleach ultimate waifu tier list

[tuliharja]

So, I saw @littleeyesofpallas's Kubo Tite(BLEACH) Ultimate Waifu List Tier List Maker post and I decided to jump on the bandwagon and make my own tier list~.

Here are some of the points I would like to point out of my tier list:

I didn't really need to add A+, B+, etc. because, in the end, all characters in those tiers could belong to the same category. The plus categories are just to show those characters have a little bit more "flavor" compared to base tier characters.

Characters in D-tier are ones that I find annoying for some reason or another, while D+ characters are a bit annoying but not as much as D ones.

F-tier characters could disappear from the manga/anime and I wouldn't care at all.

Mostly neutral-tier characters are ones I've slight opinions about (it can be negative or positive), but I'm mostly neutral about them.

In the Background character -tier are characters that I can remember, but to me, they're exactly that -background characters, while in What? Who? -tier are characters I don't know at all/recall ever seeing them in Bleach manga/anime...

I also added Her design looks cool, but I don't who who she is -tier as a bonus tier, as in all other tiers are (as far as I know) Bleach characters.

In the inevitable, logical extreme of my compulsive fixation on Bleach and on cropping images into little squares all the damn time, I've finally put together what is, to the best of my knowledge, the most complete waifu tier list for Kubo characters, plus a few that he technically didn't design himself but felt in-line enough with the franchise lore and/or aesthetic that I included them.

So, go ahead and have at it, y'all...

Random notes:

I struggled to keep the list manageable, and ultimately cut a pretty sizable number of basically non-characters. (it was legitimately difficult for me to convince my brain to let me remove Hitugaya and Momo's unnamed grandma from the list...)

It also really fukin killed me to make the arbitrary call to use the most aged/recent versions of most characters because a handful definitely got bad new outfits in Kubo's post-epilogue art. (Hiyori and Unagiya really lost their charm points in his Klub Outside calendar set)

I was so tempted to include different forms for some characters, but deciding who got their forms in and others not felt too inconsistent, so i just opted out of them entirely

But more to the point I also included in this list characters from Kubo's early one-shots, Zombie Powder, Burn the Witch, Sakura Wars(2019), Aoi Bungaku, Dragon Quest X, and that one time he did Gorillaz fanart...

Oh and if it wasn't clear the Arrancar I included and labeled by Resurreccion rather than name, were done as such because their swords are specifically gendered feminine in how they were named. And considering the nature of both zanpakutou and the hollow mask themselves as reflections of inner/true self, I considered that valid Waifu material

And no I will not be making one for Bleach husbandos because there's just too damn many male characters by comparison, and because my compulsivity crossed with Kubo's lopsided art preferences would mean, unlike the fairly scant number of background women, a huge chunk of the men that I'd be obligated to include would just be decidedly unattractive goons by, like, the dozens...

Forgot to take this shit out of the drafts, but here is my lackadaisical ranking from @littleeyesofpallas Kubo Tite(BLEACH) Ultimate Waifu List Tier List Maker

I did not have the gumption to rank all of the waifus, let alone half of the waifus lmao.

SS Rank - The women who take up the vast majority of my brain space. All three of them own and I support their wrongs 100%.

S Rank - I feel like this is my actual waifu tier tbh. I like their characters and would also stutter out an offer of my number to all three of them.

A Rank - Women I like who get into silly situations. Half tragic lesbians and half weird girl rep.

B Rank - The lesbian tier apparently. I like them but not enough to have them higher on the list. Only one of them is useless. #representation

C Rank - Characters who I wanted to see more of. Half because they're fun characters and half because I believe they've got big impact on the story (Kaname's best friend? Self explanatory. She launched him into revenge plot that reverberated all the way into the novels. And I just KNOW Chikane has her hands in politics, the Gotei 13 was not the end for her. Gang leader of the century. )

D Rank - Women who I thought needed to be on the list for one reason or another. High school girls thirsting like their lives depend on it. Insane sword woman. And Cunt herself. The for funsies tier.

F Rank - Women who annoy me. Love you, except I don't, actually!
