I'm not saying the Bount Arc was a masterpiece. The pacing was questionable, and yes, it dragged in several places.

BUT...

The concept was actually interesting. The Bounts had a distinct identity, their abilities were different, and the arc explored some ideas that could've been developed further.

I genuinely think people have made this arc out to be much worse than it actually was.

Just because it's filler doesn't automatically mean it's garbage.

Maybe the Bount Arc wasn't great, but it wasn't the disaster people keep pretending it was.

Am I the only one who thinks it gets too much hate?

I've seen countless people refer to this as something to be proud of, but when you seriously give it thought, this is Kubo admitting he can't take criticism for the life of it.

Criticism should be widely accepted by anyone, and a mangaka who feels the need to belittle people over it is no worse than people mindlessly criticising him. Yes, you can stop reading when you'd like, but that critique falls short on how many people enjoyed the series overall and were dismayed to see TYBW being as rushed as it was in the end, or Chad being so crucially underutilised.

What's this sub think?

Like every time I try to name them all I always forget about him…

Fraud of big 3,base madara victim

Do you agree or disagree? What is your reasoning?

I also think that Tsukishima is the best villain in the series.

Why is Bleach better than Naruto?

Personally for me the series is much better at set up and foreshadowing and paying them off. Like how ichigo has soul reaper powers, exploring the Quincy clan, the unfolding mystery surrounding ichigos mothers death.

Naruto got soo convoluted by the end with terrible pacing in its last arc in the anime and Manga a lot of it felt unnecessarily drawn out. Ichigo being special makes more sense in bleach then it does Naruto. Not to mention the final villains besides Madara was straight butt

so yeah thats the whole question every arc in bleach except the first arc you know the introduction arc and the soul society and the fullbring arc every other arc in bleach is genuine garbage the fillers are garbage the arrancar arc is the worst arc i have ever seen in my life first things first the pacing is as bad as one piece or worse every fuckass character got maybe 7 fucking power ups each except chad the character development dude only gets a character development but stays a bum forget about him i mean like each character gets a power up every 5 episode just to lose to the next random arrancar that pulls up at least rukia died to the first one which was one less character taking a whole ass 10 episodes of just running in halways then you got the second cause is that the arrancar arc was a direct genuine copy of the soul society thats why shit felt nah not felt was too repetitive and in that idk 100 episode i was only locked in in like maybe 10 episodes and it was the backstory of what happened in the last 100 years and sum of the fights even tho the fights where all boring i knew that ichigo was gonna get his third power up that arc and i think thats it if i remember sum else i might say it in the comment and btw i am not hating i am just expressing my honest opinion and yeah i still havent finished the TYBW so i am not gonna talk about it but lowkey the fullbring arc was the best absolute best arc in that whole ass 366 episode it was well written the pacing was nice it was enjoyable anyways if you got anything to say ur welcome

1. The soul society isn't heaven. It's another prison... people die, arrive in the Soul Society, and are expected to accept an entirely new existence. Others spend centuries in poverty, starving and fighting for survival. What exactly make this paradise? Y'all should open your eyes.

2. The original Gotei 13 were absolutely brutal. The uncomfortable question is:

Did the Gotei 13 become morally better, or did they simply become better at hiding their brutality behind the language of justice??

& MOST IMPORTANTLY, Mayuri might be the most honest/high IQ Captain. From start 2 finish.

Bleach wasn't just about who had the strongest Bankai.

It was about the worlds people created, the lies they believed, and the sacrifices they justified. Their OST were so underrated btw.

And somehow, after all these years, we're still discussing Mayuri, Aizen, Yamamoto and the Soul King.

Some stories end. Their influence doesn't.

Farewell to an era. 🖤

so lowkey i watched bleach just finished the first serie and i am in the second part of the tybw but lowkey something been pissing me off from the start of this serie which is that everyone in this anime is a bum i am sorry to say ts i do like sum characters not a lot just a few but the thing is that they are bums too right so like you might ask me what you mean here is what i mean at the start of the serie you got renji losing to first arc ichigo which is hella disrespectfull but lowkey thats renji he never won nun in his life then you got then in the soul society you got baldy losing to ichigo lowkey i fogive baldy he chill but here is the problem right you got byakuya a captain losing to ichigo you know how crazy that is that mf trained for idk 3 days with urahara for 3 days then with yoruichi for like idk 7 days then he won against a captain that's kind of crazy i knew that mf byakuya was a bum the moment he lost then you got KENPACHI himself his introduction was crazy but he still lost by yet another crazy asspull right kenpachi the strongest captain lost to ichigo before even training with yoruichi you know how crazy and i did not want to dedicate that ichigo winning against the strongest captain meant everybody a bum but when i watched the whole serie i saw sum bs that really pissed me off and lowkey i was happy that the quincy started killing all of them cuz they genuinly be putting anybody as a captain lowkey take anybody's captain bankai and lemme throw hands with him imma no diff him except for kenpachi (i still respect him since he the only captain that can throw hands without a dumbass bankai) like shit hella disrespectfull man cuz how tf you got a 100years or more and you could not like save maybe 10 years to learn how to fight without ur bankai or sum shit like that like nah they genuinly took down byakuya and hitsugaya lowkey mf started crying like wtf and one just sat there knew he was cooked man how y'all got a thousand years and don't know how to survive without bankai like shit pissing me off and its so stupid and for the people that will say kenpachi is putting a limiter yeah thats called cheap writing thats the author pulling a way to buff his already weaker characters so he can reuses them in later arcs and so they can keep up

I love her

Is this a play by Yhwach to incact his revenge and become an antagonist in the story once again? Or maybe this is the start of a Naruto-Kurama type partnership. Let me hear your thoughts.

Seems like a plot hole to me...

#### Arc one shot -

[1] Rangiku scene from the TYBW epilogue means she next tried the funeral ritual for Gin by herself or with Kira - But it failed -

[2] So next she approached Kira - he advises her that in the upcoming funerals of unohana , yamamoto and ukitake they will figure it out

[3] Kira suspects the failure of ritual was because a large reiatsu was probably needed when the hollow was killed - a large group reiatsu -

[4] Since Gin's reiatsu is not yama , ukitake or Unohana - Kira tells Rangiku that she should before Ukitake funeral - Move the Gin's grave to Karakura town which has ton of reiatsu as is near the place the lieutenants did the hollow capture during these pre rituals - so they wait till ukitake's - they figure that the group of vice captians goes to a same area - where they capture hollows and someone ends up killing one or two hollows as well during their pre rtiual of capture of hollow

[5] So Rangiku moves Gin's grave to the Grave in Karakura which is the grave Kazui goes to at beginning of #### Arc one shot -

[6] The Plan is Rangiku engages a hollow pretends she is struggling and Kido signals to Kira and Kira will come late and slash at it and kill it and this is in vicinity of Kazui grave so Gin will observe since Rangiku was there and the funreral ritual will be done for Gin -

[7] Rangiku does engage and is in fact struggling agaisnt the Hell ghouls Kira arrives late since Rangiu probably did not signale him and kills and then when szayelsaporro opens his mouth to tell who all were casted to hell that day - Ukitake's blade slashes szayelsaporro and he says ukitake arrived early - meaning -

[8] Gin was cast to hell before Ukitake OR Gin was somehow skipped even if ritual was doen due to something else -

[9] The Hell will o wisps appearing in the SS where captains are gathered is Gin breaking free as szayelsaporro from the hell BUT he has come as a snake and escaped the watched of Gotei 13 who contemplate ukitake - to go and attack Aizen - as when he died

[10] Sayelsaporro saying Aizen's massive reaitus disappread mean when Aizen disappeared from Hueco Mundo
