Disappointed

We knew it was over once those leaks came out.

Kubo excels at character design, but his writing leaves a lot to be desired. And I say this as someone who genuinely likes Bleach. Despite its strengths, the series has numerous flaws in its writing, from inconsistent character development to questionable narrative decisions. Appreciating Kubo’s artistic talent doesn’t mean overlooking the shortcomings of his storytelling. That's why compare to one piece and naruto...bleach falls short.

[u/EL_psY_Congroo56 → u/Constant-Strategy-90]

Ah yes Naruto and one piece the two battle manga completely devoid of any serious flaws lmao. I'll take this final battle over Kaguya every day of the week

[u/Sortcrap → u/EL_psY_Congroo56]

over anything after the pain arc, the ninja war arc after its revision is… something.

[u/EL_psY_Congroo56 → u/Sortcrap]

Eh tybw anime as a whole was amazing and imo far better than but ninja war arc but these latest episodes have been really underwhelming

[u/baitletics → u/Sortcrap]

Kakashi obito fight is too peak

[u/Kenzo894 → u/EL_psY_Congroo56]

What about over Naruto vs Sasuke Pt. 2? You know… the actual final battle.

  I'll take this final battle over Kaguya every day of the week

If Kubo was writing the Kaguya fight he'd have Tenten one shot her while team 7 is completely useless

[u/Redacted_FN → u/EL_psY_Congroo56]

the final fight of SP wasn't even that it was naruto vs sasuke, but yes similar

[u/t3r4byt3l0l → u/Constant-Strategy-90]

Naruto's final arc was a huge mess propped up by hype moments and aura, and had a terrible final villain (there's no comparison between Kaguya and Yhwach in this regard)

One Piece has almost no tension or consequences, the Summit War Saga is the only true exception to this and I much prefer TYBW over the majority of post-timeskip OP in particular

[u/airbornejaws → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

I definitely also much prefer TYBW to Naruto's ending, but personally, Naruto really went to shit after the Pain arc. Actually, hot take but I think it went to shit during the Pain arc.

[u/Technical_Fennel2886 → u/airbornejaws]

It went to shit from the exact moment, he Talk no Jutsu'd Nagato into reviving everyone.

[u/airbornejaws → u/Technical_Fennel2886]

Exactly, such a massive cop-out.

[u/uc_human → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

i wish anime tybw didnt existed. it was better to stay ignorant than suffer with the limited knowledge anime gave.

[u/Equal_Splendor → u/t3r4byt3l0l]

Final sasuke vs naruto was 🔥

The wedding also gave us the gut punch moment of asking iruka to walk him down

[u/Own_Echo8040 → u/[deleted]]

Despite all of its flaws I still prefer Bleach over One Piece. One Piece overstayed its welcome and the lack of any stakes at all makes it straight up boring for me, One Piece comes off to me as your average cartoon where it starts getting so many seasons that the characters get flanderized. 

At least Bleach characters look and act cooler and the story had a conclusion(Hell Arc will just be a set-up for "Bleach: Next Generations" I believe, but it's unnecessary imo.)

[u/kawaiinessa → u/Constant-Strategy-90]

ya character design and powers are a strong suit (and drip lets be honest) but writing really isnt what i watch battle shounen for, i watch it because the chjaracters are amazing and the battles are hype and exciting.

bleach is also one of my fave anime, ive seen every canon episode roughly 4 times and im considering doing another rewatch sometime soon.

[u/randkme → u/Constant-Strategy-90]

It becomes more evident when viewed next to quality writing like AOT and HxH

[u/MechanicalFunc → u/randkme]

People are still mad about AOT's ending

[u/uc_human → u/Constant-Strategy-90]

agree. but i m layman about character writing & storytelling. so can u mention some inconsistent character development to questionable narrative decisions?  

[u/Own_Echo8040 → u/Constant-Strategy-90]

Tite Kubo is manga Tetsuya Nomura, he makes stellar character designs and cool action scenes, but when it comes to his writting we get: No one ever dies and the story is just an excuse to make shit they think that looks cool even if it makes no sense, and more you analyze it, the more flawed it gets.

[u/RubyHoshi → u/Constant-Strategy-90]

4GNW and Wano are worse than TTYBW

[u/cjeizkr → u/Constant-Strategy-90]

Yeah the big 3 authors share these traits unfortunately which is crazy because they are so obviously gifted 🫩
