"And the DICK?"

I’ve been watching TYBW and liking it so I’m going to go back and watch from the beginning, is it really 45% filler eps? Are any of them worth watching?

Yes, a lot of it is filler. Some of it's good, most of it is just long and boring and inconsequential

One of the earliest databooks had Unohana as the strongest fighter outside of Yamamoto so he'd planned a lot of this stuff for ages, just ran out of time and energy to really complete the story so the last arc ended up super rushed and most of these reveals were coming chapter after chapter and made less of an impact

I think he always meant for her to be strong but I don't know about the Kenpachi reveal. The way Zaraki is introduced is worded like the title has been passed down more than just once.

Yeah I think he had that particular plot twist planned from the moment he introduced Kenpachi and Unohana. Kubo makes up a lot less bullshit on the fly than you might think from some of the wackier plot elements, even if some of it is clearly retconned. (I highly doubt he'd planned out exactly how Arrancar worked when he first showed Grand Fisher getting his mask physically chipped off, for example.)

Rangiku, Yoruichi, and Rukia have perfect breast sizes, imo. They span all ranges of human delights between those 3 and I can't wait to see Yoruichi again with the new animation

I am once again saying that Unohana and Kenpachi have the best romance in all of anime and it's conveyed in the span of like five chapters or two episodes.

The Unohana reveal is perfect, I love that when she's first introduced and nobody will mess with her it just comes off as a funny gag, but no actually it turns out she was the hardest motherfucker around and nobody backtalks her because she will kill you on the spot if you actually piss her off.

I am really, really hoping we get some expanded Squad Zero fights in the anime because them getting so hyped up only for 3/5ths of them to die off screen sucked rear end.

Usually they mention if he does the art I think, so I don't think those were him. They've definitely got artists good at imitating his style though, and yeah they do some work for the summer ones.

Another entry into "aging in SS makes zero sense." Unohana looks about the same as she did when she was butchering Quincy's, meanwhile Zaraki looks like he's in his 50s despite first running into an adult Unohana as a child. Square that circle.

Ghost aging was never intended to make sense. Hitsugaya is probably like, 150 years old or something.

he could've just not put ghost aging into the worldbuilding but for some reason kubo really wanted renji and rukia to be childhood ghost friends.

In a general sense you can kind of relate it to how high their reiatsu is, so generic Soul Society residents basically age normally while Yamamoto's over there at somewhere north of 1,000, but Kubo was hardly going to let little details like that stop him from drawing cool characters so it's more a rule of thumb rather than being truly consistent.

You could say one's apparent age is a reflection of their personal growth and inner mindset. Yamamoto is an authoritarian stick in the mud who believes in the "old ways" so he became an old man. Meanwhile, Unohana has always been a psycho killer (even if she did not outwardly show it) so she more or less looks the same.
