The picture made me think Aizen was back in business and I got excited.

>>80992
I see you fell under his impression, just as planned

>>80992
Seriously though Aizen is a terrible character especially if you take into account Ichigo's "He was just a friendless loser" explanation for his evil douchebaggery. The only way it could get worse is if he joined the heroes.

Sure none of the villains following him were even decent but that's just because Bleach is not a good series.

The way this fight is going makes me think of playing Super Mario Bros.

Everytime I die I shout "FUCK!"

But then I see my reservoir of lives and it's okay.

I'm guessing that's what's going on here, the secret power of her sword is people only die if she let's them?

>>80999

That'd be a nice power as it also gives me the satisfaction of knowing that she's basically handing him the win, here.

>>81001
We already know she is.

I find Captain Psycho-Mom alot more interesting than Kenny.

>>81003

True, but there's a difference between him always going to win due to him going all 11th hour superpower on us and him winning because she gave him all the time in the world to 1-up her.

It speaks of satisfying laziness.

>>80995
I'd love to see him join the heroes. Just picture it, on one side you have Aizen, and Ichigo who is willing to give him a chance because he understood him. Urahara would probably do the same because they both know they get the best of each other, in a very Reed Ridchard/Dr Doom way.
but then you have Rukia, who he sent to execution and gloveraped to take the hongokyu fro her, and Orihime, who he sequestrated and probably raped too.
An happy bunch of world saving fellas I tell you.

>>81013
Thats...basically the current situation with Ishida and Mayuri.

Dude needs some serious punishment for his nazi-shit and his teamkilling but he gets treated like a funny prankster.

I'm pretty sure if Aizen HAD raped Orihime and later joined Ichigo's group he would be making snide jokes about it whenever they were in the same room and no one would care.

Then again Soul Society is made of bastards to a greater or lesser extent, its a really shitty afterlife to find yourself in.

>>81048

>>Laaaaaaaaame

Bleach 525: JUST FUCK ALREADY!

>>81172
You forgot about a hundred thousand A's in there. Kubo manages to fucking kubo himself again.

This isn't a sexism thing but I'm kind of tired of all these epic-rank badass females being bitched, its kind of weak.

Like, Nel, comes back to her original form for a bit and smacks the shit out of Nnoitra, but just before she can finish him off and get some revenge for his bullshit she runs out of juice and gets kicked aside so Kenpachi can fight him instead (it sort of made her whole subplot seem kinda pointless)

Shark-tits, The other Third rank Espada chick, plays some pool games with Captain Shota instead of crushing him, gets team-killed by Aizen for no raisin, gets healed in a databook or light novel just to bugger off and get crushed by the Nazi-Quincies and chained up in thier headquarters.

Captain Mom, finally revealed why everyone was shit scared of her, first Kenpachi, OHSHI-
Now revealed to have originally lost to Shota-Kenny who from then on subconsciously dialed back his own powerlevel just so he could find some sort of challenge.

Its hardly something unique to Bleach but still its not fun.

>>81172
No matter how strong women can get in Bleach, they are still always under at least one guy to best them in their own domain.
So very Japanese when you think about it.

>>81179

And in most Olympic sports.

>>81177

No, it pretty much is a sexism thing.

Honestly, I didn't think even Kubo could make Unohana cutting loose a disappointment, but he managed it.

>>81187
this.

goddammit kubo. you piece of shit...

I really don't see the sexism angle here. Like, at all. Unohana didn't lose to Kenpachi because she's a woman, she lost to Kenpachi because Kenpachi has a freaking insane power level. You say, "every powerful woman in the story was easily defeated by a man!" This is Bleach. Three quarters of the cast have been easily defeated by somebody else. That some of them are women really doesn't play into it very much in my eyes.

As to the revelation itself, I give it a solid "Meh." While it's not a great reason behind this whole exercise, it has precedent in what we know of Kenpachi's character. He's always been about handicapping himself to increase his opponent's odds of winning and stretch out the battle. Now we know that he's been doing it subconsciously as well as consciously. There are far worse ways Kubo could have played this out. And I quite like the image of young Kenpachi as a scrawny, crazy-eyed child, wearing tattered clothes and holding a sword longer than he is tall while crawling over a hill of corpses.

I dunno, as much as I liked the idea of all-powerful psycho milf beatdown, the fact that Kenpachi has whooped absolutely everyone's ass so far and has actually been subconsciously holding himself back just to make it kinda fair is pretty sweet, ngl.
Then again, I'm pretty sure I always said Kenpachi and old man Yama were my favorite parts of the manga, and now that the geezer died, he's all I have left. ; ~;

>>81205
ur husbando a shit

Oh.
Wait, this makes more sense now.

>>81213
>that feel when this manga

I just like posting silly images in these threads. (s'not like I'm interrupting anything important I guess)

>>81177
How about another notable example-
When Kamen Rider Vizard's mask broke for absolutely no reason despite her specifically being mentioned as being able to hold it for ridiculously long amounts of time, just so a dude could jump in and take over her fight.... then not resolving his fight with the enemy at all and having it go off to fight someone else later in the same battle.
That was such an incredibly pointless way of screwing her over.

>>81249
A fine example of a character pointlessly losing a battle, but, again, it didn't happen because she's a woman. People pointlessly lose battles all the time in this manga. It's pretty poorly-written in several areas.

>>81256
I want you, and I'm being completely honest because I do not know, to name one time in Bleach that a woman just flat-out won the battle. Without significant help from anyone else.

>>81256
The point isn't that he's intentionally nerfing women because he wants us to think "Women are weak." It is that he subconsciously does not seem to think female characters can be strong ones because none of his TEN ZILLION CHARACTERS seem to be women who are capable of keeping up with the menfolk.

You should be aware of this by now, being on the internet as you are--much of the worst sexism (and racism, and what have you) is the sort that takes place subconsciously, because it's the hardest to fight. People internalize these things and never even question that they're okay, and thus get super defensive whenever you point out their bias because they like to believe they're more evolved than the REAL sexists/racists/what have you. And to a certain extent they're right. But there's still bias that is ugly to find. There are higher priorities than fighting this stuff, but that doesn't mean it shouldn't be acknowledged so that those who do care to overcome those flaws in themselves know what to watch out for.

>>81256
I just added it because it fit with the other examples. It was a really dumb situation to have happen.
You are right in that the series is a poorly written mess in a number of areas.

>>81257
Rukia vs. Fake Kaien. Further proof that Rukia is best female character in Bleach.

>>81263
Indeed

>>81259
I understand where you're coming from, but I still don't think that holds water. Unohana is incredibly strong. That Kenpachi was even stronger than her when he was just a kid is supposed to be a reflection of his strength, not her weakness. I'm pretty sure quite a few of the other captains would call her stronger than they are.

Similarly, Halibel was the #3 espada because she was stronger than everyone beneath her. She had no cause to fight any of the other espada, but if she had she would have most likely won. And remember, she didn't definitely lose against anyone but Aizen and these new bad guys. She was holding her own against Hitsugya, even after he got Vizard reinforcements.

>>81257
As previously mentioned, Rukia vs that espada, as well as Rangiku vs Kira toward the end of the SS arc. Rukia and Rangiku also won easily against those hollows that were with Grimjowl when he stormed Karakura town, and also Yoruichi vs Soifon ended with a woman victory, if you excuse my trollface.

>>81283
I still want to know what Yoruichi's sword, first-release and bankai were.

I mean she was a captain so she had to have a bankai, and we saw her at least holding her sword in flashbacks, Hand-to-hand specialist or not. Did she leave it behind when she left Soul Society?

>>81291
>I still want to know what Yoruichi's sword, first-release and bankai were.

My guess is that she came to the royal castle in the past alongside Urahara, and failed the zanpakutou test, losing her right to meet the king, and her sword in the process.

shippers are silly bunnies

>>81369
The fact that an ichiruki shipper was obsessive enough to make that graph shows that the butthurt it distributed equally all around.

>>81381
Pretty sure it was made by /a/nons, where bleach threads are spammed by people (most likely pretending) to preach that Ichihime is and will be canon.

And really, that image is correct. People who take images drawn by the creator that feature another pairing, then trace/redraw to replace one character to make it into thier own ship are the lowest of the low, and mocking them is always the correct course of action.

>>81382
Thanks for proving my point. The butthurt is all-encompassing.

>>81381
>>81383
The same could be said of your strong reaction

>>81384
You keep telling yourself that.

>>81381
>Butthurt

You think you are on your tumblr, son? Using 2 years old dead buzzwords like that?

Dear lord, the internet was right. Whatever forum touches bleach shipping instantly turns to shit.

if you aren't straight/lesbian for rukia, i have to question what your criteria are for quality in this manga.

>>81434
b-but my delicious brown ninja waifu...

>>81434
honestly I think she's too good for either Ichigo or Renji, or hell, pretty much anybody else in Bleach

>>81434
honestly I think she's too good for either Ichigo or Renji, or hell, pretty much anybody else in Bleach

>>81435
if yoruichi, kenpachi (ii), unohana, urahara, genryuusei, and some of the espada had their own badass motherfucker manga, i'd read that.

as far as ghostbuster level characters, strawberry and the death god need to hang the fuck out more

>>81440
Ghostbuster... Bleach... Ghostbusters trapping Hollows?

>>81434
Yes
>>81437
I do know whenever she's around Ichigo tends to be less of a little bitch, maybe if she was around more often Ichigo would be a worthy man.

http://mangastream.com/read/bleach/39972534/1

Was it good for you?

Oh yeah, you know how good it is when it's like 3 feet into your chest.

>>81505
:[

i sure hope she suffers from a serious case of no one dies.

So we're all in agreement, then? The spooky skeletons vision Kenpachi had was his soul cutter finally talking to him? It's a recurring theme with his spirit pressure, after all.

>>81509
at least it will maintain some consistency
these recent chapters also explain why he and his zanpakuto don't talk well
i wonder if he'll get a shikai
or even jump straight to bankai

>>81505
So is Unohana's bankai the power to dissolve stuff with acid?

>>81511
It seems like it?
And I guess she mastered restoring HP so that it doesn't kill herself to use it?

>>81509
>So we're all in agreement, then?

lolwut? Stop forcing your shitty fanfics on us, please.

So how about that rain huh?

You liking the new chapters?

>>81574
anytime we go back to ghostbuster storylines, BLEACH gets good again, so yes.
these chapters aren't as sucky. however, everyone who called that Ichigo would be a fusion of all the different power sets in all of Bleach got it right.
He's had Shinigami, MAX Shinigami, Human, Quincy, Fullbring, and Hollow/Vizard
When you combine them all, we'll finally get the bull shit ending we've been waiting for.

I hate to say it, but...Ichigo's mom is kind of annoying.

>>81578
I've not been keeping up, she was a quincy and is the reason Ichigo is now a Shinigami-Hollow-Visored-Fullbringer-SUPER QUINCY right?

She must have lost her powers at some point to lose be killed by Fisher.

So, how is she annoying?

>>81658

Yes.

Because people are trying to talk to her about actual things and all she'll talk about is food.

>>81661
So you're saying Ichigo's mother is Luffy-ko.

>>81661
Isn't she playing dumb because she knows this is leading to an arranged marriage and she's not cool with that

>>81674

Probably but it's still a really annoying way to go about it.

>>81576
This is why I stopped paying attention to Bleach. Ichigo gets the vast majority of screen time and he's a living deus ex machina. Bo~ring.

>>81708
How can a main character be a living deus ex machina? If something's happening via the actions of the main character, it can't be deux ex machina.

I think what you mean is that he is the living incarnation of bullshit.

OH NO A CLIFFHANGER, WILL DAD SURVIVE?

Yes, yes he will because this is a flashback and we've already seen him in the future.

>>81724
But wait! What if Dad was Aizen all along!?

>>81724
Implying that guy is Isshin and not Ishiin, Isshin twin brother

>>81724
But did he simply get cut or did he get cut in the powers.

>>81725

That depends. Where you under the impression that he was Aizen all along, or just suggesting that he was Aizen all along? Or are you just implying that the illusion of an impression suggests he was deluded about the deception of a hallucination of maybe not being Aizen when the presumption signifies that he may not have been so that he is?

mangastream what the actual fuck

>>81842
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA!

Awesome!

>>81842
What, do you have a problem with Whitey?

>>81848
top picture should just be saying "Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!Isshin-kun!"

I liked how eager Aizen was looking when she showed up.

Like in a 'Will love finally bloom on the battlefield?' kind of way.

>>81875

Ok Kubo you better have a good reason to have avoided Isshin bankai this chapter.

>>81886
It's so we can be properly disappointed when he finally reveals it 50 chapters from now.

It just occurred to me that this powerful attack from point-blank range will probably not be as effective as we would assume. I'm predicting massive backlash of people once again throwing around accusations of sexism when Dad has to save Mom because she put herself in danger by thinking she was actually capable.

>>81899
Goddamn women, if they wanted to be useful in a fight why weren't they born as men?

>>81899

I can't imagine why that sort of scenario, from a writer with a sketchy-at-best relationship to gender, would make people think of sexism.

>>Bleach spent five years and 243 chapters on a single day.

. . .

This never really struck me until I saw someone type it out like this.

>>81990
Saint seiya syndrome. Every rescue arc was 12 hours long after all.

>>81899
Not quite as offensive, but almost.

>>82012
Yeah, that was better than I feared. At least she was strong enough to kill Whitey by herself.

>>82025
>>Japanese woman kills whitey

You trying to say something there, Kubo!?

well that was quite dispointing. That hollow died from one head shot. I hope that's not the real power level of Ichigo's hollow.

>>82052
Man fuck power levels.

It's not like Ichigo's is in one place either, he must had inherited that trait of power level being all over the fucking place from cracke- honki- Peckerwo- WHITEY!

>>81848
(btw what is the context of this image?)

>>82107
She was saving him, obviously.
