I'm back to this thread. I haven't replied to everyone, but I took note.
Anyway, last time I was here people got butthurt cuz I couldn't accurately describe why I consider BLEACH and OP on the same level. I got upset, cuz there was a communication overload and I started saying dumb shit.
Here's my reply to whoever wants to know. It might not MAKE perfect sense, but I think you'll get the picture.
I like BLEACH for many reasons:
I trust Kubo to tell his story, even if you guys hate on it.
I like Ichigo cuz he's cool. I can relate to him. And that's enough for me.
I like Luffy for this reason too, just not AS much as Ichi. But Luffy surrounds himself by his nakama as OFTEN as he can. And I know this cuz of Oda's color pages. The color pages are bright, vibrant, flexible, etc. etc.
But I know that there are bonds in BLEACH color pages. Like, at least 5 people are connect by color pages, even if I can't always see it.
Sosuke Aizen-kun said this once: "The betrayal you can see is trivial. What is truly fearsome, is the betrayal that you don't see, Captain Hirako."
I can believe that, because I took the time to follow Aizen. And I know Aizen touches EVERYONE whether you guys see it or not.
"Your Ryūjin Jakka is indeed the most powerful Zanpakutō in existence. There is no doubt about that. Were I to fight against it directly, it would likely overpower even me. However, if one abandons all other abilities and focuses his strength entirely on a single specialized skill, then he can overcome even the greatest of powers."
I get that. And that's all that matters.
