I am so so happy to have found your theories. I too hold the belief tht Reaper is working to take down Talon from the inside and tht Reyes wasn't working for Talon even before the fall (doesnt make sense imo) and to see them explained so beautifully n concisely n filling holes I missed in my own logic. Its so fascinating and I eat up every little detail you bring to light. AND THE SYMBOLISM OF THE RED DEATH. INCREDIBLE! I def will look to your blog when any new info comes out

Thank you, and I appreciate the compliment!I feel like a broken record at this point but there are huge discrepancies between Uprising Gabriel and “Talon leader Reaper.”  I think that if they had wanted to imply that Uprising Gabriel “was already a Talon agent,” then he wouldn’t have been so involved in stopping Null Sector.  I’ve seen a few people try to interpret “Red Death Reaper” as somehow indicating that Reaper...was always a double-agent, but that completely misses the point of both “The Masque of the Red Death” and the masquerade scene in Phantom of the Opera.  Both situations are explicitly about a character - the Red Death itself and Erik disguised as the Red Death - infiltrating a rich, opulent, insulated party of wealthy, powerful people and “bringing them down.”Thank you again!! :)

Ichigo! For the 'send me a character" thing

I’M SO SORRY I FORGOT THIS 

My NOTP for them: Ichigo/Urahara. Just no. A very big NO

My BROTP for them: I wish I could say Chad because he’s “oficially” Ichigo’s best friend, but, in all honesty, Rukia has been a fantastic friend to him, if anything, as well as Renji.

My OTP for them: ICHIRUKI. Forever and always 

My second choice pairing for them: I guess Grimmichi, but I’m still rooting for Ichiruki to be endgame

My fluffy pairing for them: Again, ichiruki, since I think the pairing has the potential to be anything.

My angsty pairing for them: ICHIISHI FUCK YOU ISHIDA FOR THAT BETRAYAL

My favorite poly ship for them: Ichirenruki, but I also love the idea of them plus the ryokas

My weirdest pairing for them: I don’t think I have any for Ichigo??

(Pssst you can still send me characters!)

Well it looks like kyoraku and his zanpacto use nicknames to refer to each so yeah I think okyou is kyokutsu's nickname. Oh yeah u r right abt the ichigo thing. Idk i guess I assumed tht by accepting both heritages they both got integrated to his new

sword which is why he has two now. But anyways I know a lot of things in bleach don’t make much sense but at this point I try not to worry too much nd try to enjoy the ride tho trying figure out stuff like this is interesting

Yeah I’m going with the flow now, when I first started Bleach I was so worried about understanding EVERYTHING. Now I’m more relaxed, bc I know a bunch of things just don’t make sense sometimes or will make sense later, but I know I’ll eventually go back and try to understand everything again.

Btw I still have faith in Kubo’s narrative skills. I still think everything will have an explanation someday, which is why I also think that Bleach still has two years more to go, at least.

I think that Okyou may be his nickname for the girl too.

Srry Im back but I think Kyoraku's zanpacto spirit is BOTH the older woman and the girl. When Nanao was confused abt Kyokotsu being her sword Kyoraku corrected her and said not exactly and tht what he meant was tht Kyokotsu (the girl) whose favorite game is hide and seek had kept it hidden within her this entire time. So he has two spirits and I also think Ichigo has two. Both hichigo and old man/fake zangetsu are his spirits now cuz when his sword was finished and he was holding them in

The Sword is Me chapter both of them are shown alongside him. He had accepted both of them as being a part of his powers and thus as being him himself. So while having dual wield may not necessarily you have two spirits it is a possibility. I cld be wrong tho

Ahh I think I understand better now. So both the woman and the girl are Katen Kyokotsu, and the girl was the one hiding Nanao’s sword. Now I wonder who/what is Okyou? The girl?

About Ichigo, I understood something different about those chapters: that Hichigo is Zangetsu, aka his zanpakutoh spirit plus his hollow side, and that fake!Zangetsu was the manifestation of his quincy powers, hence why he looked so much like Yhwach. So when Ichigo stood with both of them, he was accepting both his mother’s and father’s heritage

I think having Shunsui's brother marry her mother was more for explaining how he was connected to her and how she ended up entrusting the sword to him. He said tht she had helped smoothed out his relationship w/his brother a bit so they probs became close in the short time she was married to his brother. Probably even still considered her part of his family even after she went back to hers. Tht's how I took it at least

As for why kubo didnt just make them friends Im not entirely sure but it cld be cuz he figure since it was sooo long ago and SS was already pretty rigid and old fashioned (before ichigo changed tht) tht Male/female friendships were looked down upon or something??? Or maybe he just thought making them in-laws wld give them a stronger connection to each other than just making them friends *shrugs a lot*

At this point I think any theory is as good as the next tbh. We only know that Nanao’s mother married Kyoraku’s brother, who died, and then she had a daughter and gave the zanpakutoh to Kyoraku to avoid the curse. Whatever happens in-between is anyone’s guess at this point, I think.

It just seems REALLY pointless to me to make Nee-san and Shunsui in laws for Nanao and him not to be related. Like, if nee-san remarried I think Shunsui would have said something about it (or rather, Kubo would make that clear, since otherwise it’s logical to assume that his brother is Nanao’s father). Then again the timeline is fucked up and we don’t know much about how shinigami age…

I think, if Kubo wanted them to be closer than just friends, he could have made them be distant cousins or something, or even make Nee-san part of the eight squad. But yeah you’re right about the male/female friendship being looked down upon by the SS.

Ugh we need more information asap
