@chihirou:
Parodies don't necessarily have to expressly point at something.
A good parody is apparent.
@chihirou:
Nonetheless, you've got to be blind to not realize the similarity between Hody and Aizen, who both have undergone evolutions of some sorts, which were effects of both Energy Steroids and Hougyoku. Moreover, a lot of things have happened off-screen during this arc, similar to what Kubo does in Bleach.
WHAT? You see a transformation and you instantly think of Bleach like they invented it?
By your logic, it's a parody of Frieza from dragonball who also transformed 4 times. Or any other shounen with a transormation. It's not even close to being related to Bleach. You're trying to make this into something it clearly is not.
It's a fish taking steroids, that's it. Plenty of shounen have a transformations.
Nothing important has happened off screen that wasn't skipped to show suspense. Now you're just grasping for straws, and missing horribly. How exciting would it be if we knew where Luffy and Co were every second? It would ruin there grand entrance.
It's not like Oda skipped a fight against the strongest fishman alive. Once again, manga authors skip events all the time. Did you want to see Zoro get on the ship and goto sleep when he first got to SA? Or was it more exciting when he first appeared cutting a ship down?
Shut up.
@chihirou:
Where is Oda going to go with this, I don't know. Maybe it's a cheer-up aimed at Bleach's author, a spite, he simply wants to show how he would've gone with the plot (or lack of it) that Kubo's served throughout these 10 years, or he merely wants to show his superiority. Who knows
How you got anything of the sort out of this is amazing. You're like those Bleach fans who thought Aizen's design was a reference to the AntiChrist. People like you make me bang my head across a desk.
By your logic, Aizen's obviously a parody of Mario, since he transforms so much during the game using magical items. Kubo's just trying to show the creator of Mario how to do cool transformations.
You obviously have no clue what a parody is, so I have no clue why I'm wasting my time explaining how ignorant you are.
