@Sonic:
But I thought this was because he was immortal so they couldn't kill him?
That doesn't mean they have to put a limit on his prison term. They admitted that Aizen was immortal, so why not keep him in prison indefinitely, rather than letting him out after a couple thousand years? (which, given that he can't die, won't mean much in the long run)
I have to wonder, can Aizen use his Shikai on himself?
If so… prison... would be amazing for him.

It'd be funny if the last chap of Bleach was it's final chap and Kubo was just trolling about a break before the final arc.
We here at Soul Society believe in fair punishment. Executions for petty shit? Certainly! Declaring people traitors without evidence? What great utopia doesn't? Some jailtime for horrific experimentation, attempts to kill God, mass producing Hollows, and being a condescending douchebag? Why not!

Might be because the laws are made for that if anyone deserved more than x amount of years the answer is death instead. But Aizen cannot be killed. So they did the next best thing: because the rules are not bendable in any way even for special cases, they could only seal him for a ridiculous amount of years. I assume by which then they might have an idea to fix it.
@No:
Watch Neverending Story III and then come back.
That has nothing to do with anything any of us was talking about.
It was never stated? Even so how is there possibly controversy over that?
It was kind of stated back then in SS during the Kenpachi vs Ichigo fight, when Kenpachi commented that his sword is always transformed just like Ichigo's, or something like that. Some people read that as his sword being always Shikai while some people argued that he may also mean something else (for example that this relates to the "skyscraper-like swords" thing Isshin mentioned once).
I think there was even a sticky at MH prohibiting any discussion relating to that topic because it was quite a controversy for some time.
EDIT: not sure about this, but this also creates a plothole, doesn't it? Didn't Ichigo need to learn the name of his sword before it could release?
@No:
I was making a joke about the Rock Bitter in that movie being…..well.....not on the level he was in the first movie to say the least.
I know what you were referencing, but what does that have to do with our silly conversation about Naruto and rocks?
Couldn't Naruto.. like… Shadow clone some chickas and make out with himself?
I think he still has some dignity left on him to resort to that.

That, along with Aizen being unable to die, is what I find so stupid. Does the Central 46 think a heartless monster like Aizen will "change" and "reform" under tens of thousands of years of imprisonment? Why leave the threat lingering for the next generation? Considering that SS's been around for "a million years" (lol whut) and 100 years from TBTP leaves Aizen unchanged physicially, his sentence is nothing. This is why Soul Society needs a bloody revolution to get rid of the aristocracy that can't even detain the worst criminal correctly, let alone treat everyone fairly.

@Detergent:
If Bleach is going to end, then it's probably the last time I've ever read a shonen manga. Other shonen manga simply don't compare. I know the OP and Naruto fanboys will disagree, but both of the other big SJ manga have an overt childish vibe to them. Probably gonna try some seinen manga like Elfen Lied or Berserk if I really get bored.
@Evilution:
Will I Be Married when Bleach will End? xD
I don't care ; Just can't see my life without Bleach!
And Detergent,I'm completely with you on this,The only Shonen that do not have A Big Childish vibe for the moment is Bleach..Naruto's just getting Serious,OP is becoming a fairy tale of dragons and happy fish -__- The day that Bleach Will end,something is sure,I'll be waiting for a New Kubo Wrok!!! It would be Good if he'll continue Zombie powder :O

Kubo:
Is there a reason the manga is called Bleach, or is that a secret?
The Soul Reaper - the color that you associate with the Soul Reaper is black. But "black" is too straightforward. So I thought about "white", but white is too simple. So if you put "bleach", somebody can associate that with white. So that's how Bleach came.Bleach fans:
Kubo has already explained why it is called bleach already.
"Tite Kubo himself ( the creator of bleach ) gave two reasons to calling it that. One was a symbolic reason. As the soulreapers cleanse souls, it's like they are "bleaching" their souls. Like how bleaching in a clothes sense means to remove stains and blemishes, the shinigami remove sin and corruption from the souls. The other reason he gave is because "Bleach" was the name of his favorite Nirvana (thats right, kurt kobain nirvana) album. "That is to fucking funny, that explains bleach fans!!!! kubo leaves everything so vague they come up with these great complex symbolism that Bleach stands for and none of it exists
there all probably high as a kite

They probably already did that a long time ago.
I honestly don't see Bleach ending anytime soon. Ichigo just got his powers back in a relatively BS way and only one arc after getting them back? Doesn't seem Kubo like.

After the Aizen arc Kubo said he'd have a small arc (which ended up being that fullbring crap) and a final long arc. Unless he was trolling us, this is the last arc of bleach. I'm sure people are already placing their bets on how bad/disappointing the ending will be.
OK, about the discussion of Naruto turning into rocks. According to the Naruto Wiki…. I didn't even see anything related to disguising like inanimate objects under his jutsu list. Disguise didn't even bring a single result. Maybe I just couldn't find it.
All right well... then ninjas would turn into wrecking balls and slam into people... WAIT, Sasuke threw Naruto as a giant shuriken vs. Zabuza, whom would normally not be able to due to a ninja not being aerodynamic (or so far a distance considering Sasuke threw someone his weigh after just graduating)... Then wouldn't the perfect disguise be to turn into ants and fit into a ninja's pocket or underground and be totally safe?... But what if someone ended the jutsu while under the ground or in a cage?...
OK I figured it out. When they disguise as inanimate or animate objects, it's whatever Masashi feels like should occur!
I stopped reading bleach since Aizen died so i don't know, but has Kenpachi's bankai been revealed? That's the only way i would read a chapter again.
He doesn't even know his sword's name so he can't even do the simple release before Bankai as was my understanding. He tried talking to his sword but didn't hear anything.

That reminds me (though I'm sure someone's mentioned it before) of how horribly inconsistent aging is with shinigami. On one hand, you have Gin and Byakuya being kids in the Vizard flashback, and adults in the present timeline. Over the exact same period of time, Hiyori (the short Vizard who was bisected by Gin) didn't age a day, and Shinji looks younger in the present than he does in the past (seeing as in the present, he looks young enough to pass as a high school student). What's up with that?
That is to fucking funny, that explains bleach fans!!!! kubo leaves everything so vague they come up with these great complex symbolism that Bleach stands for and none of it exists

yeah. sometimes i wonder if Kubo is actually a genius and it is our fault that we can't understand his work..
All Kubo would have to say with aging is some vague shit like "They age with their spirits" and you'll bet that'll please most of the fans.

Rock Lee anime is taking Bleach's timeslot in April.
Will they finally put the dying Bleach anime to a rest?
I always figured they aged at the rate that felt right.
You know how when you were a kid you either wanted to stay one forever or grow up real fast? You had no say in the matter; your body always aged for you. Even if you remained a child at heart, you'd always grow up a little to at least adapt to world around you. Or if you wanted to grow up, you still had to wait another 10-15 years for that to actually happen.
But after you die in the Bleach world, you're sent to the Soul Society. And if you're just some random shmuck, you have no reason to age. You're dead. You're body is just made up of your soul and what little reiatsu you have; and since you have no actual physical body, you can age at a rate that feels right for you.
That's probably why people stay what- 2000 years?- before re-dying in there and being reincarnated. Most of them don't want to age past their prime and do it sloooooowly after a certain point (but they don't stop since others are aging as well and it happens unconsciously).
The same thing can be applied to the shinigami.
Byakuya grew up fast since he wanted to catch up to Yoruichi, and then stayed in his prime.
Yachiru was always safe and happy with Kenpachi, so she never felt the need to grow anymore as a child.
Yamamoto shows that people still age, so there's no getting around it in the end.
Heck, even Shrimpo could've slowed his aging since he always a child prodigy and growing up would take that away.

Soul Society MAKES NO SENSE WHATSOEVER!
^ This man is correct.
We already know that Kubo just makes shit up on the spot and runs with it, so there's no use trying to find a rationalization for his universe as there isn't one.
It will just make your head hurt.
Time for the real Naruto to get what it deserves; a preference over Bleach.

Words cannot describe, Justice has been done.
In one fell swoop we get one of the better things to come out of naruto in recent years and bleach gets the boot at the same time.
Wait, is the Bleach anime ending, or just changing timeslots? If its ending thats a sign the manga is on its way out as well. (Not always since some manga can go dozens of volumes past their animes. But when its a long running anime like this…)
Between that and Negima ending...
EDIT: not sure about this, but this also creates a plothole, doesn't it? Didn't Ichigo need to learn the name of his sword before it could release?
Kenpachi knows the name of his sword. Yachiru.

Hehe, I thought about that when they had the Sword filler arc. I don't think we've ever seen Yachiru use her sword either. Which I'd love to see. It's has a pink scabbard!
I'm back from my military training :awesome
Now to read Naruto and HXH.
I have to wonder, can Aizen use his Shikai on himself?
If so… prison... would be amazing for him.
Didn't Aizen use his Shikai on himself to fix Shinji's Shikai-attack?
How is Messiah protagonist who even gets pwned time to time, supposed to ruin quality anyway? Manga's quality is not subjective, but that what you mentioned, it is. It's just like mentioning art style. Style is subjective, detailing isn't. Side characters being of good use are a bonus, so not having a bonus isn't something to complain for, especially when they had quite important parts earlier in the story, they're simply not supposed to shine forever. They are side characters. Not main characters.And the good genes thing, can you explain that more? Because I got a feeling I'm the only one who could understand Naruto's words after pwning Neji.
The same guy MasterKingJC quoted before.Things like this annoy's me a bit, the side character part.

Lee-sensei is finally getting the respect he deserves ;-; LEE-SENSEIIIII!!!!!!!!!!
@BadExample:
Somehow I have the idea Kubo wants to further exploit the "seinen" side of his writing (maybe after the time he worked on "blue literature"), so I imagine he'd start with another Seinen series right after Bleach. And it would be good, but it would take sometime for scanlation groups to start digging it up and translate it
And yes, Bleach is so hard to come by. To me it's shounen and shoujo, Seinen and josei, novel and poems, all at the same time. And it holds the positive light of Jump kept in a nice balance with the dark element, just enough darkness to make us feel deeply and appreciate the light to burst with happiness when it shines through. And it has that warm touch of Kubo's "nice guy" POV too. This arc has the potential to draw out in years, but I'm sure I would miss Bleach awfully once it comes to it's end, even if we have the promise of some more manga from Kubo ahead ;____;
So that's how Kubo does it?
He fools people into thinking Bleach is some type of deep artsy prose?
Lewl…

I've seen similar posts for Naruto and OP and many popular anime. It's a fan thing, of course a fan is gonna praise their favorite series as much as they can. I'm not surprised about these posts at all. I haven't read Naruto that much and dislike Bleach at this point, but I'm okay with people liking them.
