bleach smash or pass @bleach-smashorpass - Tumblr Blog

intro sticky

Hello and welcome to Bleach Smash or Pass, a blog in which polls will be posted for every Bleach character in alphabetical order. Partly inspired by @charactersmashorpass and partly because Bleach has so many characters with absolutely wild designs, and we want to see how nasty the Bleach fandom is. Your mods are two soul candy dispensers: Chappy and Yuki.

Q: When will polls be posted, and how long will they last? A: Posts are queued to go up twice a day at around 12PM and 5PM EST. (Tumblr might post them a little later than they're supposed to go up!) Polls will be open for one week.

Q: Why Bleach though? A: We genuinely just want to know how many people think Mayuri Kurotsuchi is fuckable.

Q: How will polls be formatted? A: Polls will include two images of the character (prioritising manga over anime) and the character's name will be listed in western order. Polls will be tagged with the character's name and their classification within Bleach (Shinigami, Quincy, Hollow, human, etc.)

Q: Will you compile statistics and make graphs? A: Probably.

Q: Can we send submissions? A: Not at this time! We're going through the characters in alphabetical order (by given name.) The list previously included characters only from the original manga, but now includes characters who appear in the anime. They'll start posting after the run of manga characters. Submissions might be considered for Brave Souls units at a later date.

Q: Can we send asks? A: Sure, but we probably won't answer them unless there's a concern about a poll that was posted wrong or something. We're not interested in discourse or anything like that, we just want to run a silly little blog for fun, please understand.

This blog is intended for an 18+ audience, please don't follow us if you're a minor. And finally, for the love of god, be chill. If someone hates your blorbo it's not a personal attack, keep it respectful and civil. ✌️🍓

#blog info #bleach

Hello! I'm starting a fun side blog to vote for the best OPs (and hopefully eventually) EDs within an anime franchise and I'm starting with the Big 3, specifically Bleach! Would you be willing to share my blog @whatsthebestanimeop to share the Bleach love? 🫶🧡

This blog is heavily inspired by yours and I'd also like to take this moment to thank you for doing all the work to find the definitive ranking of Bleach character hotness. I hope this continues on the work in bringing together Bleach fans! All good if you're not up for sharing too!

~ Thank you from Chappy 🐰🦋🎐 ~

Belatedly publishing this! From one Chappy to another best of luck with the blog.

#everyone vote for asian kung fu generation for me #i only saw this because i logged in to the wrong account

Congratulations to our Winner and runners-up!

And, in plain text, the rest of the Top 10!

4th: Aizen Sosuke (8-2)

5th: Chika Shihoin, Shuhei Hisagi (5-2)

7th: Ichigo Kurosaki, Urahara Kisuke (5-2)

9th: Tier Harribel (4-2), Grimmjow Jaegerjaques (6-2), Coyote Starrk (4-2), Retsu Unohana (5-2)

Now that the tournament has ended, I am sharing the full bracket for perusal, you can find it here. If you'd like to see the complete final standings, those can be viewed here. Doing this means I don't have to figure out how to format images because they would be Very Large. (The bracket does not include tie-break polls!)

Hosting these polls has been so much fun, thank you all for coming along this (very lengthy) journey. When originally setting this up, I figured it would come down to Rangiku and Renji, so while I'm not surprised, it was fun to watch how we got there — there was a minute where I thought we'd get a Rangiku vs Yoruichi final.

(I also want to give a special shoutout to the Grimmjow girlies, his polls consistently had some of the highest votes, with almost 3k votes on the poll with Byakuya. He didn't win simply because he doesn't live in the Seireitei.)

#seireitei smashability showdown #seireitei bulletin #it's over! at long last!#genuinely thank you all so much for taking part #i was going to do stats and quickly realised i dont have the desire to collate all that info so this will have to do

I'm going to do some proper statistics/round-up! But, in the meantime:

#seireitei smashability showdown #rangiku matsumoto #renji abarai #matsumoto rangiku #abarai renji #bleach #bleach tybw #i know these are older manga images but listen. they're some of my favs. so i'm using them.#regardless of who “”wins“” theyre both winners to me as seireitei's hottest and boobiest bisexuals

ngl i think some people had turned these polls into a political debate when it's basically about who knocks you out with their hotness like it's a deadly attack 😭

Honestly, I agree! I think sometimes people forget that the people running blogs like this are A) Actual Real Human People and B) We can see the tags and comments.

Like, I've seen some pretty weird things about some characters that have been extremely uncomfortable. (And I don't mean the things people have said about their favorites.) I don't care if they're objectively an awful person, they're not real. The most important thing has always been are they hot? I'm not running a 'Character With The Most Morals' blog, c'mon now.

I don't want to start anything, so I probably won't post more about this, I ask that people keep in mind that they aren't posting into a void when they interact with any kind of blog — personal or gimmick. For the most part, people have been very chill, and I'm grateful for that! (Except when it's their blorbo they're talking about, then they get a little unhinged, but that's honestly what we wanted. Fly your freak flags.)

#seireitei smashability showdown #renji abarai #abarai renji #yoruichi shihoin #shihoin yoruichi #lr13 #bleach #bleach tybw #i'll be honest the funniest possible outcome here is that renji wins and has to face off against rangiku for a third time.#here's how renji can still win—

You should do a tag collection for what's under the polls because some are hilarious.

Running this blog has been kind of draining, so I probably won't be doing this myself, but I can't stop other people from doing it if they feel inclined!

#seireitei bulletin #don't get me wrong it's been fun but some of the tags have been like... man calm down its just a silly poll blog stop harshing my vibes

Submit your favorite Rangiku and/or Renji images.

For one day only I am opening up submissions for you, dear voters, to submit your favorite images of Rangiku and/or Renji for their upcoming tiebreak poll. There are a few guidelines.

Images must be from the manga!

If submitting black-and-white images, please tell me the volume or chapter they're from so I can source them in color.

You may submit illustrations, so long as they're by Kubo (think the chapter title images and such.)

#a boost #if i declared a winner based on submissions far and away it would be renji #anyway im leave it open an extra day bc of medical stuff

no reruns, Yoruichi advances to the next round instead #hatermindset #contrarianism #spitefulness

(𝓲 𝓪𝓶 𝓳𝓸𝓴𝓲𝓷𝓰)

Yoruichi already advanced to the next round... and only made it because of a rerun! I agree with spite and contrarianism, though, it's a valid argument. Tournament over, Grimmjow wins.

#seireitei bulletin #am i joking? (yes)

Rerun the poll

I was merely joking, because it's the second tie we've had. I plan on setting up a tiebreak poll, I just can't be arsed doing it right now because it's late.
