No; for maximum symbolicness, Kubo will make the end a sunset
Manifested as a slighty grey tone
a subtle change which will make a world of difference

So the next chapter of Bleach is going to start with the super hero asking "huh? what was that?" right?
I mean Kubo didn't just forget in the very same chapter he lost the ability to hear, right
right
No, he's going to make Superstar guess Renji's every line two seconds in advance because he's a Superstar and as such is so amazing that he can deduce everything that a guy standing next to him will say.
Bloody hell, Kubo. Why?
He's going to make Superstar able to read lips.
Mask could just be able to do lip reading.
But that would be too simple for Kubo.
He'll listen to the words of the heart.

He will just use the Ichigo-patented Instantaneous Character Analysis Through Exchange Of Blows
(not to be confused with the Naruto-patented Instantaneous Mental Debate Through Exchange Of Blows(tm))

Is he aware that you can die from this? That aside hearing, balance might also be affected? Yes?….
I don't think so. Kubo, why me mad?

It could be temporary considering that their bodies are made out of spirit particles while in SS (and the Quincies can absorb spirit particles, not that I expect Kubo to even think of using that excuse), that's why Ichigo had to leave Kon in charge of his body….though that raises many more questions on the what the hell nature of the tickets to the afterlife monk hat guy gave to Ichigo's classmates a while back.

So he's gonna look really constipated ?
Regarding Bleach, it's not like throwing stripper dollars at Kubo will better his performance at making a decent mang-
! maybe it will…

The dude is getting paid way too much money for minimal effort as is, I am not giving him even more money regardless.
It's a matter or principle.

It was just a joke. To me, he just doesn't care?
What would we need to give to Kubo to make him actually try?
Talent and devotion?
I was thinking on something more materialistic.
He probably believes that he already has those.

Then you should take something away from him. Giving Kubo (or Kishi) more things would make him care even less.

Yeah, you're right about that.
I guess their only hope is that they suffer some sort of life-changing experience or trauma, but that would most likely just result into them stopping… which would also be good.
Then the thread got weird…
Couldn't he just have an assistant for that one?
A petty assistant doesn't have the same kind of inspiration he has for the backgrounds, just Kubo can make the white whiter than anything.

Which therefore brings us right back to:
Humility.
Noriaki-kun keeps his assistants in the background and his editor off-screen.
Someone give Kishi & Kubo "Good Storytelling techniques" I mean they are worst than some of the fanfic writers that I encounter!!!
I used to be both emotionally invested in both Naruto & Bleach but now they both took it away and I am just reading it for completion sake if it gets worst then I really might drop it and wait until it finish to read the ending …
This thread seriously made me want to start reading Bleach…

Yes! Do that! Please! Join the fun!

The beginning and everything is actually pretty decent and will make you understand why it was once one of the "big 3"… and then you can decide for yourself when you get the feeling it goes downhill. Either way, the start is enjoyable, so there's no reason not to :)

I think i'll wait for Christmas/New Year holidays. With that many chapters, i'm gonna need more time to read so i can join the fun with accurate rants…
Now I'm wondering why the hell Kubo changed his name. What's wrong with Noriaki? And why would you want your name to sound like "tight"?

In America, tight is (or was) a slang word for awesome. Maybe he heard that and used it in an attempt to sound cool.
Kubo gets all his information on what's cool in America from skateboarding videos from the early 90s.

"Wow, that ollie was mad tight, Kubo!"
Thus, Tite Kubo was born.
Bored skateboarders, skating in a blank white space, with different bored skateboarders appearing from behind.
For the longest time, I pronounced Tite as "Tee-tay".
Dammit Japan! Just when I think I'm starting to get your language!

Apparently it's Tai-To, but Kubo kewly spells it as Tite.
Kubo's apartment is filled with everything bad from the 90s, I am convinced of this

Can't be, it'd get in the way of the complete emptiness of the symbolic lack of stuff.
I've said this before, Kubo clearly has a lot of talent, just perhaps not for writing the type of long running manga he is.
If he partners up with a very good manga writer who can provide well thought-out names, I can see it working out very well.
Kubo and Oh Great are pretty similar in that, they both have immense talent, great character ideas and designs, but their stories are boring and completely suck ass.
Take a cue from Soma pair and the DN/Bakuman pair.

The writer would have to be able to control Kubo's massive ego and get a hold of his terrible storytelling. It's not just his bad story, it's also his bad story telling. Poor framing, refusal to have backgrounds and drawing all characters with roughly the same face.
Take a Bleach chapter I tried to go to panel by panel. Just flat out poor storytelling and incomprehensible action. Nothing to do with the story, it's just that there's no establishing shot, no idea of what happened, nothing.
Also, I don't know if anyone's heard this phrase, but Kubo is a "Slave To The Close Up". And telling him do draw an everyday object (that has some complexity) like a bicycle, without reference, would have him stumped. Probably.

In short, the writer would have to take the reigns of so many things that you might as well not have Kubo at all.
Well yeah, Kubo has to actually give a shit, that's a given.
I will be astounded if everything that Aohige is saying happens after Bleach is over. There's gonna have to be someone pretty special to rip Kubo from the depths of his own ego.
Is it trrue that in the latest mess of an arc, there are hints Grimmjow is back? Or is that wishful thinking by deluded fan-girls?

Some arrancar decided to intervene in Hueco Mundo to help out the side characters. While it hasn't been confirmed to be Grimmjow, it's highly likely that it's Grimmjow unless one of the other espada got revived.

Ah I see. I'm already reading some Bleach fan musings suggesting that Kubo planned his arcs all along and some such nonsense. And seeing that blue-haired pussy again does not fill me anticipation. He was the anti-Ichigo, a carbon copy of the blandest protagonist in shonen itself.

apparently kubo forgot to draw his death scene so he brought him back. hes with chad and orihime in hm…and theyre getting along...

Sigh…..at least with Aizen you had that kinda stupid shit going on for entertainment.
Here, we have Bach killing off his own men while giving down right counter-productive orders (Only fight the captains who'se bankai you've stolen, with the bankai you've had for like three days tops, even though I fully expect them to get it back somehow really soon) and being smug about how smug his smugness is.
Rose, Kensei and Shinji are so fucking disappointing tbh. They each make a point that they are not messing about and yet each fail to hollowify (which is incidentally the quincy's weakness). Rose even uses Bankai and yet fails to go for an instant kill but wastes time speaking to the enemy. I still don't get how Shinji lost since he STABBED his opponent already. UGH Bleach
