If Bleach lasts past 2015 I would be extremely surprised.
Bleach Discussion 0: Hello Darkness my old friend

@Purple:
name recognition, sure, but even then the current environment kinda makes it real difficult to develop another "big 3" then in the same fashion. Like I mean, you could probably throw Fullmetal Alchemist or Attack on Titan, shucks, let's go with Fairy Tail, in there, and it'd make a big 5 or 6 if that were the main criteria.
Like with the "Big 3", they were big titles in WSJ that dominated the western presence and also held respectable positions consistently in the rankings in Japan, but now? Using it just on presence and exposure is more arbitrary than anything else. At least to me, the connotations of a "Big 3" are pretty outdated at this point,
Yeah that's the thing, in terms of referring to Japanse comics, the Big 3 at this point is more of a title given to simply OP, Bleach, and Naruto combined together. When one just mentions "Big 3", OP, Bleach, and Naruto just come to mind immediately. After this generation of comic readers end (with all three series obviously ending), the term will probably lose all relevance due to mostly being a generational thing.

Yeah, so at this point, especially since Bleach pretty much fell off the radar, Big 3 doesn't really hold any significance. And now that Naruto is done, the generational gap will be apparent.
It will be only a matter of time before the Big 3 gets reduced to One Piece :ninja:

Yeah the problem is, OP is not going to end so. In order for the Big 3 title to just…be "gone" is for all three to become fairly obscure and folks forget that all three series were associated with each other.

Or, well, I suppose just eventually people moving on and not caring about there being a "big 3"
-
Aren't the only people making a big deal about "Big 3" One Piece fans still salty about how people favor Naruto and Bleach more than One Piece anyway.
-
?
Dude, they are alive again.
Yahoo, Hashensomething, Ishida and the fantastic four.
Maybe also Giselle and that other girl, and how knows, maybe BuzzB will indeed survive, which will raise our hopes once again for Nananana so he can be useless again.Make it two years
And you are also forgetting about Aizen. He is still alive and you know he's going to come back, probably with a "everything went according to plan" lol . Added another year on top of that
-
But imo that really isnt the real Okikiba, because she was in the first division building that blew up. That is probably Aizen in disguise.
Ok, then Aizen it is
I just noticed, what's with Renji suddenly getting all buddy-buddy with BazzB by calling his name?
-
I know he's old and all, but Juhabach needs to stop skipping leg day.

Meh I utilize it in a more nostalgic sense like "Aw gee I remember back in MY DAY there were three big shounen comics running at the same time. We called them the "Big 3". They all started out kinda good and two turned out pretty shitty in the end. Though it's odd after 50 years One Piece is still going. Apparently some Japanese scientists discovered a way to put Oda's brain in a computer and he's still going on with this serie. Damn you Super Robot Oda."

Typically shonen trope of two enemies bonding over their life or death battle.

I don't know why, but my sides hurt when imagining if it was NaNaNa instead of BazzB.

kubo explicitly said this was the final arc of bleach right
also in light of recent naruto pairings, i wonder if Orihime and Ichigo is going to happen. when is the last time there was any serious development in that field? i feel like the last time anything major happened was when orihime tried to kiss sleeping ichigo, but that was pre-Hueco Mundo.

Don't worry, there will just be a time skip with no real scenes of them getting together but just already having a kid in the end.^^
-
For a final arc it runs for quite some time now. I hope I see Bleach won't try to reach 700 chapters as well, but it looks like it does want to….
-
Also, if this guy is such a good shot, why the hell didn't he go for the head shot instead of a hole through the shoulder?
He did it. Against Shutara. It was an illusion.
Instakill moves only happen when the victim can survive it. It's like Zaraki stucking his sword through Nnoitra's eye only to find out his head had a hole in that exact spot. He could kill anyone instantly with that, but he never used this move in another fight because any other person would actually die and that goes against shonen rules.

@James:

And kubo certainly will easily accomplish that feat.

Well unfortunatly he has swept that under the rug for too long. On that note, Orihime's farewell to Ichigo was genuinely beautiful. I dunno what happened to her afterwards.
More screen time and a whole arc around her than Sakura?
-
You know, for all the complaints about this chapter, one things really makes sense. When deciding which Sternritters to bring with him these relatively normal, competent guys while leaving all these perverts, Bazz B, and whatever this guy is behind. I can only imagine what kind of sick stuff Robert Accutrone was into, should his character have been explored. In a sense, this is just a chapter when Juhabach walks past the lunchroom table that is the Soul Society, looks at it, then turns away and sits at the cool kids table.

Rukia x Ichigo, or if he prefers sum1 with a big rack, then definitely her.

This chapter was just incomprehensible. What the hell was going on here?
Oh, and Ukitake still exists apparently.
-
Chapter was shit. End of summary.
-
I actually like this old baldy for some reason
-
I guess it wasn't entirely terrible? That super huge hand attack was ok.
Still, just. . .so little happens. The entire chapter was basically 2 attacks and a super stretched out dialogue consisting of 2-3 words per panel. Goddamn.
What's with Ukitake's shadow, btw? And I guess next week, Aizen comes back to help the good guys.
-
Old baldy was okay but i can't stand Ukitake and Kyoraku acting smug and taking a stroll n chillaxing with all that's happening. That's just so Kubo.
-
I liked it
I thought the Squad Zero guy would thrash the Quincy leader around for most of the chapter only for him to gain another random power up at the end and leave a hole in badly, assumed it would be like it was with the afro Squad Zero guy (and most of Bleach) all over again. But instead the Quincy had to work to pull back
I'm pretty sure the place where Shunsui is going is where Aizen was sentenced

Holy shit, didn't even pay attention to that. And yet it actually took like 2 pages to move the fight out of there.
Kubo does indeed have the memory span of a seahorse (sadly, me too, apparently. . .).
-
!
"op op op" -
I didn't need more than one minute for this chapter.
-
What are Shunsui and Ukitake up to? That's my question.
I'll admit, it's never not entertaining to see a stoic knows-all villain to open their eyes wide and go "wait wtf?".
-
Ran out of things to say.

I don't think it was a mistake, I think it's his power. I mean he warned Juha Bach that his throat might get crushed and it happened. My impression is that either he have power of precognition, or it's opposite and there is chance for events to happen whose he announces(reality warping or something).
-

to be fair…it is a mangapanda translation......
Prolly didn't say that at all..... -
One little question:
How the fuck can Bach talk when he has two fucking holes in his throat he made himself?
-
@Aru:

He healed himself…..1 would expect the founder of all Quincy to be able to that..

Remember guys, it's Kubo. K for Kill everyone in a meaningless way. U for Useless panels in every chapter. B for Bitches with huge boobs either being awful characters or 2D paper cut-outs. O for Only Kubo can forget facts in his own series.

r.i.p. Kishi, already forgotten.

What is Kyoraku thinking, as he is standing on the violated Seiretei?
I could have prevented some of this by actually fight someone, but…NAH.

! Chapter 601: Talking back and forth, ending with a "big reveal" of powers (Barely correct, but close enough. More action than you'd think. Yet, it still ended with a reveal of new powers)
Chapter 602: LOLOLOL we actually got you outpowered
Chapter 603: NAW we got an ace up our sleeve. Here's the explanation!
Chapter 604: We're so much wiser now! The soul society guards gets steamrolled Chapter 605-610: Repeat process (Not exactly, but the way things are going, its still the same)
! Chapter 611: YAY now all soul reapers are dead/appear to be dead! Slowly walk towards the goal. Bach reveals ultimate secret weapon.
Chapter 612: OMG WHO IS THAT IT IS ICHIGO AND CO! Man we're so scared now!
Chapter 613-620: Drawnout fighting, with Orohime Fan-Service
Chapter 620: ISHIDA
Chapter 621: ICHIGO
Chapter 622: ISHIDA
Chapter 623: ICHIGO
Chapter 624 and onwards: Repeat Butterfly Aizen
Chapter XJHLS: THE ENDMissed a chapter or two, so I dug this up again. Not the latest version, but eh, I'm not spending much time on something bleach related.
Anyhow, I will admit I like the drawing guy. His constantly happy personality is a nice change of pace from the usual cooly-coolness. Unfortunately it appears Kubo have already screwed it up by the end of the chapter. Great.
Wonder what the captains are up to though.
-
I'd love to se butterfree aizen again.
-
Kyoraku will arrive in the central 46, room 46 or whatever that was only to find a dead bach there. Twist! Bach is actually Aizen.
-
you know, most bleach chapters at least made a little sense, even if it required sketching your imagination or logic to almost breaking point…
this chapter made none at all...
-
Bach makes his own voice, you don't say? I thought you could only talk what Aizen made you say, and then everyone would ask when you were under the impression that was what you said.
If this was almost any other author, I would be interested in the stuff from the beginning of this chapter, but I just don't care. If it is Aizen that he went after, and accomplishes stuff that the Royal Guard couldn't, then this proves 100% that only Ichigo is necessary for anything.
Apparently people have hope for Orohime and Chad still. Best argument I heard is they exist for a single purpose which they are being built up for. Could've fooled me there.
-
To be fair, Yhwach thing was always about giving to people what they lack. Remember the chapter about his birth? He was a baby completely devoid of senses or anything like that who had the power to make the blind see, the mute speak, etc, etc. And then, once the person died, he would gather the power he granted the said person and then would be able to surpass his own impairments.
So he giving himself voice after he became unable to speak actually makes sense.
-
No it doesn't, he couldn't give himself stuff, if he could, why don't skip the middle man?
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
Also, he gave Gigi what (s)he lacked? The ability to turn peoples into zombies?
-
I liked how Zangief kept warning Bach not to say his name. So Bleach of him.
-

The ability to smell like semen.
