Why did Mayuri hate Urahara so much? The dude only broke him out of jail and gave him his drat job

Parrotine posted:Why did Mayuri hate Urahara so much? The dude only broke him out of jail and gave him his drat job Possibly an inferiority complex? He bristles when Ichigo suggests that he's Urahara's disciple. And possibly because of clashing personalities. Aizen, as he was being sealed out by Urahara, called him someone who just settled (for the current state of Soul Society with regards to the Soul King). Considering Mayuri's spiel to the Arrancar he fought about constantly striving for perfection, there's probably a big difference in ideals. Also Mayuri was pretty okay with not being broken out of jail, so I doubt he really feels any gratitude towards Urahara in that regard.

I've been rereading random chapters on the SJ app and it's loving cursed how likeable the characters can be because now I'm like, I might as well read the whole thing. But drat, to relive that disappointment. D a m n

They're such a strong duo and I hate knowing that everything just slumps.

Ishida owns because when he first shows up everything about him screams edgelord brooding rival, but he's actually kind of a goof who likes to sew pretty clothes and dresses.

Sydin posted:Hitsugaya's shikai was honestly cooler than his bankai. Weather control + an ice dragon that is dangerous to even block because of how quickly it can freeze you. Then his bankai was just... ice wings? And had a weird arbitrary timer no other bankai had? His fight with Harribell was so loving boring, they just splashed water at each other for 50 chapters until even Aizen couldn't deal with it any more and just killed his own mook to move things along. They actually explained what the timer does in the manga toward the end... When the timer runs out he turns into an adult and powers up, its really dumb. The entire end of the manga is ridiculous. Basically it turns into a oh not this guy can't be beaten by the group thats here, immediately followed by whoever just happens to be the perfect matchup for that opponent showing up... over and over and over again. At one point a bad guy is like, "no one can defeat me because I'm literally a god" and then another shinigami shows up and was like "good thing I have this sword that can only hurt gods, lol." They literally pull this basic thing like 10 times.

I mean Chad is even worse, he doesn't even get to win a real fight in Soul Society. He beats up a bunch of randos and then immediately gets taken out by kyoraku.

...Is that one Privaron Espada who was transparently created for the sole purpose of losing to Chad literally the only named character he ever beats? Or does he get another after Deicide?

Or does he get another after Deicide? Didn't Chad train in a hyperbolic time chamber during the fullbring arc? IIRC that makes no proper fights even more lovely. I'd love to see how the manga would have shaken out if Kubo wasn't rushed to poo poo out the last few chapters. It would have been loving dumb and insane but still, I'd pay to see it.

Chad also beat an arrancar soon as they got into Hueco Mundo. I feel like that dude could’ve been Yammy and it would’ve only improved the scene. Yammy would’ve had a purpose and Chad would get a win with meaning.

Both fill the strong brute quota in how they tackle problem solving, but one is a sadistic maniac while the other was quiet and emotional, and Kenpachi somehow clicked better with the audience and took off and Chad was left behind to rot

Chad's Fullbring power quite literally comes from racial pride, which honestly could be kind of cool in a series that was it all interested in him being a character who did things.lezard_valeth posted:You know what, I'mma start pointing fingers and blame Kenpachi for overshadowing Chad.

Man, early Bleach was sooo good and I'd rather we have gotten a lot more of that than more Soul Society. Hell, frigging HELL got relegated to a non canon movie and instead the last arc we dick around with more Soul Society stuff.chumbler posted:Chad is so cool. I remember when Bleach ended people posted pictures of themselves cutting/burning their Bleach manga collection because their Rukichigo ship didn't sail. Same feeling, but with what they did to Chad. Dude doesn't even show up and we are informed he ended up becoming a professional boxer  That's some Game of Thrones level of character arc ending.Stairmaster posted:I think he and orihime are mentioned as exceptions to that rule in can't fear your own world (which changes the rules again and says fullbringers have pieces of the soul king in them) Is it worth the read? lezard_valeth fucked around with this message at 07:18 on Feb 23, 2020 |

Chad's other early moment is him getting hit by a motorcycle, and carrying the cyclist to Isshin's clinic. Chad was such a kind, helpful boy.

Please... stop doing this to my boy... I would have really like Chad to have some kind of weird hollow powerup in Hueco Mundo that let him get back to Ichigo's level. I think a fight between him and Nnoitra could have been pretty cool.

Just a full story reset for Bleach. Maybe don’t even put anything back in its place.

Sort of. There's a lame chunk in the second novel about mayuri's zombie squad fighting with the surviving quincies & the hueco mundo gang but you also get hisagi content so its all balanced in the end. https://www.reddit.com/r/bleach/comments/9yvpl8/bleach_tybw_manga_sequel_novel_cant_fear_your_own/ the translations near the bottom. There's also no ichigo and friends whatsoever and ice guy gets like zero screentime.
