The first Bleach OP was indeed good. It was also the only one I watched. I just kind of fell off before it could grievously offend me with its eventual stupidity.

Aizen died on the way back to his home afterlife.

They should have beaten the guy who gains power from being hurt by healing him. It's like a zombie in an RPG, simple as that.

But One Piece is still kicking, baby! We'll all be dead by the time that ends! So about 10 to 20 years, give or take.

Remember when Kubo dedicated like 5 chapters to what was very clearly supposed to be Byakuya's death, but then an editor pulled him aside and was all "uh you do realize he constantly places top five in popularity polls right? You can't kill him" and so lol he's just back a couple chapters later and he just needs to chill in a healing hotspring for a bit.
I think Rukia was supposed to take over for Byakuya after his death, but that didn't work out, so poor Jushiro took the fall instead.

Please stop talking about Chad

Every time someone brings him up I remember something else

Like how he got a special pendant from his grandfather who he loves and the pendant and his grandfather are so super important to him, so when he gains the ability to draw superpowers out of something deeply meaningful to him with Fullbring, he of course chooses to fullbring his Weird Mexican Skin
What's even weirder is that Orihime already draws her power from objects with great emotional significance to her, but it's Chad who gets his already existing powers retconned to be a Fullbring.

The concept of infusing your most precious possession with spiritual energy and using it as a weapon is sweet as hell and could probably support a battle series by itself, given the right author.

The anime also had Tier as a Vasto Lorde, but that was filler content.

Tatsuki never got any superpowers because there was only room for one ordinary human jobber in Ichigo's group of friends.

To be fair, Ichigo canonically doesn't give a poo poo about justice or heroism and just wants to protect the people he cares about. You'd expect other characters to see his example and then change for the better but uhhhh...

Imagine if Naruto called Obito the coolest guy but Obito never stopped flaying ninjas with tree branches.
The mad scientist who commits multiple crimes against humanity never getting his comeuppance reminds me a lot of Unit 731. I don't particularly enjoy it, especially as someone whose parents are Korean.

It's a bit of a bummer to think that Soul Society never got torn down and rebuilt into something better because the editors/audiences took too much of a liking to its dickhead enforcers.

That picture with the Gundam firing above somebody's head, except it's Byakuya with Senbonzakura and it says "Soul Society is oppressive" while the viewer thinks "Wow, cool shinigami"

bleach is secretly a One Punch Man prequel
OPM monsters are like Hollows, except there's no convenient chain to show how far gone they are.

Kenpachi joining the rebellion just so he could be opposite the new strongest guys is absolutely what would happen, I was thinking more from the angle of making a better soul society, where adding a guy who’s max violence to your team would be silly. I guess what I’m saying is I’ve been soulpilled by Kaname Tousen.
Thinking about Kenpachi psyching himself up to fight the Strongest Guy Ever before suddenly getting domed by one of the more ruthless figures of the rebellion like Old Yeller. Of course, it'd be difficult to put down Kenny in one go, so there would likely be a long, gruesome fight anyway, just the way he likes it.

My ideal scenario would’ve been Ikkaku and Yumichika defecting, then having to fight Kenpachi. Could’ve squeezed some emotional investment outta Kenpachi, wrapped up Yumichika and Ikkaku’s character arcs and gotten a cool fight all at the same time.
I just realized all three of these guys and Yachiru held themselves back for different reasons.

The first thing I thought was "Oh no, not again," and I didn't even watch past the monster of the week episodes.

Just thinking about what kind of powers Tatsuki could have gotten during that nebulous phase where Ichigo's friends were awakening because of residual spirit energy is kind of a bummer.

It would've been cool to see her pummel some hollows pre-SS for sure so I agree with you there, but then she would've fallen to the wayside, another victim of power creep and popularity polls.
Yeah, that's basically my thought. Tatsuki would have never amounted to anything more than another irrelevant member of Ichigo's crew, but at least she would have had one chance to kick some ghost rear end before the shinigami got milked for all they were worth.

I remember how the quincy alphabet squad got introduced and literally everyone went "gently caress kubo is going to add 26 more isnt he"
Their boss is supposed to be evil YHWH, right? Maybe Kubo should have just stuck to making a squad of archangel-themed bad guys.

As long as we're spitballing, I think it might have been neat to have Grand Fisher skulk back into Karakura Town after the time skip, having gotten far stronger and intent on killing Ichigo now that his powers are gone.

Still haven't watched much Bleach, but I'm considering coming along for the ride just to see where it goes.
