He ate my soul.

Even the Monk Who Calls the Real Name cannot handle this

I mean, I get where pronunciation of Yhwach's name comes from, but it's internally inconsistent

[auslanderka]

he just infected my brain a long long time ago

I know this will open me to ridicule but here's a hot take on the Thousand-Year Blood War

(spoiler if you haven't watched/read)

Ichigo is a nepo baby.

[fostersffff]

One episode into Thousand-Year Blood War and I can definitely see why people probably got exhausted of Bleach- this is just the Arrancars Arc again, which was just the Soul Society Arc again- but reading the manga up to the start of Thousand-Year Blood War and switching over a literally brand-new anime is helping alleviate that sameness.

TRIGGER WARNING: The following investigative news report contains a higher dose of extra severe graphic nature and anime culture issues. Our news organization of OneNETnews has a STRICT zero-tolerance policy and we do NOT fully promote, aggressively attacking or condone to expose the hate in a political matter. Read our IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER in this news article below, mga-Kabandera.

TOKYO, JAPAN -- In a brazen but saddened turn of events, fans of the popular anime series 'Bleach' have recently taken to the X Network (formerly Twitter) unleashing a barrage of death threats, harassments and a brazen cesspool of hate speech against animators from Studio Pierrot, following the release of 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War'. The Japanese animators' safety and well-being have been seriously affected by these toxic actions with corrupted anime production. Sport entertainment, pop culture and the digital insider 'Sportskeeda' obtained the exclusive investigative insights into this disturbing trend to expose political hatred of anime, shedding light on the impact of these threats and the potential ramifications for the future of the beloved anime.

To comprehend this distasteful tragedy, it's essential to understand the significance of Bleach within anime. Bleach is a renowned anime and manga series created by Mr. Noriaki Kubo.

A male protagonist teen with ghost-seeing abilities, Ichigo Kurosaki is assigned the role of Soul Reaper, a soul-guiding agent who protects the living world from evil spirits of hell. A mix of action, supernatural elements and intricate storytelling captivated audiences worldwide, since its debuted on television originally from Japan.

The latest installment 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War' in the early mid-October 2022 -- marked the return of the series, after a long hiatus from late-March 2012, much to the delight of the fans. However, as the show progressed, a faction of disgruntled fans began expressing their dissatisfaction on social media platforms such as the X Network and Threads (who were individually owned by the X Corporation and Meta Platforms Inc.), specifically targeting all animators associated with Studio Pierrot in the aforesaid home country of Tokyo Prefecture.

An animation director of 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War' named Satoshi Sakai, became entangled in this virtual controversy. Although under immense pressure and risk, Sakai and others at Studio Pierrot wasn't publicly issued an apology or taken any drastic steps to halt production of the new sequel.

One theory surrounding Sakai's decision by refusing to apologize or cancel the anime sequel suggests that the animators and Studio Pierrot are caught in a difficult predicament. While the threats and harassment are unjustifiable and reprehensible, some speculate that a public apology or cancellation could set a dangerous precedent for creators worldwide. It could embolden extremist fans to a rudeful, weaponize threats and harassments to exert control over the creative direction of their favorite series.

Moreover, Studio Pierrot may also be reluctant to abandon the 'Bleach' franchise altogether, regardless the movie or anime TV series. Bleach has been a significant source of revenue for the studio, and ending it abruptly could have severe financial consequences. Additionally, the studio may believe that addressing the toxic behavior through proper channels, such as reporting it to law enforcement and social media platforms, is a more responsible approach to handling the situation.

(SCREENGRAB COURTESY: The X Network, formerly Twitter)

The conventional crisis was garnered its Western attention, with international fans and fellow industry professionals expressing their support for the animators and condemning the harassment. However, as this situation unfolds, it raises critical questions about the state of cancelled culture and the responsibility of online social media platform like the X Network, to address this abusive behavior.

In light of these developments, the anime fandom of 'Bleach' is at a crossroads. There are many former and current anime fans at present -- who still cherish the series and the creators, however a vocal minority threatens to overshadow the positive aspects of the anime community due to their actions. The future of 'Bleach' and the well-being of its animators hang in the balance, as the world watches to see how this disturbing chapter unfolds.
