'Especially you' awwwww 😍
A Wish
I wish with my whole heart that Bleach is rewritten once more, I wish there is a mangaka that want to clear the disaster Kubo had made, I wish every character in Bleach have a happy ending and every character is being respected.
Bleach is a Shounen Manga, where the main focus is not romance, it should be focusing more on the fighting scene. The power every character have are powerful and that's what need to be emphasize throughout the series, if Kubo focus more on that from the start. I wouldn't mind the endgame at all. Just like Dragon Ball, Goku got married to Chi Chi it was not focusing on their romance but just to ensure Goku had children and the story of Dragon Ball to go on. The mistake that Kubo made was to introduce Rukia and Ichigo as the main protagonists to Bleach from the start. Throughout the years he keeps on pairing this two, it's only natural lots of fans thought they would be the endgame and Kubo if you really want us to focus on the Action, then stop interrupting those scene with "love vibes" or "love interaction" between the characters, all these sparkles and glitters and deep bonds between any of them, it is just so distracting that Bleach is no longer a Shounen rather Shoujo Manga.
I really love to watch the action part of Bleach, but there's always parts that are just too feminine if I might say, I cannot help but to focus on the 'endgame' instead of the 'ending".
I wish this post reach some mangaka in Japan, that wanted to buy Bleach and try to rewrite it once more, correct the storyline, correct the character development, re-introduce the characters, while not being to astray from the main storyline.
Yes, Bleach do deserve better and I believe everyone feels the same way. This story just fall to the wrong mangaka, and I really hope, somone can fix it and restore it's reputation to how it was before. Remember, Bleach was on the same level with Naruto once it started, the potential that it had..to be torn apart just like that..is just too sad.
I will forever be salty about Bleach ending, forever be sad, forever be mad and forever restless. This is NOT only because of my OTP but millions other reason as well, Bleach is not titled "Ichigo and Friends", there are other characters as well that didn't get their deserve spotlight. I dare to say it's a CRIME for a mangaka to treat it's character like rubbish!
Oh wish of mine...please come true.
So, I’ve had this thought in my head that Ywach never died. Instead, since he was supposed to be able to change the future, he gave Ichigo a lie. He created a future where the only people that can stop him think he’s dead. And deep down Ichigo knows somethings wrong. Everytime he sees Rukia there’s a twinge as if maybe everything that’s happened in the last 10 years wasn’t supposed to happen. So, he eventually travels to the soul society to ask Rukia if she to feels like everything is wrong. But upon reaching the soul society he feels a familiar presence. Ywach. Whom, he immediately finds and confronts. Ywach then tells him that he is strong enough to defeat him and in doing so will send him back and set everything right. Everyone will go back to the paths that were heading down instead of the ones he altered. But Ichigo will always remember everything that happened during his last 10 years and what happened to everyone else. He will have to live with the knowledge that he had a child he loved and that so did Rukia. He’ll have to live with the fact that he’ll be taking that away from the both of them and that he’ll have to live with that knowledge until he dies. So Ywach tells Ichigo to make a decision kill me because you’ll never stop hunting me and then live knowing the child you once had is no more or let me live and forget about me. Ichigo freezes because he doesn’t know what to do. Kill him and get the girl he loves but make them lose their children and rid both worlds of the most evil being that existed or just walk away and live knowing that none of this was ever supposed to happen. Ichigo decides…
This is more reasonable than the real bleach ending. I love your theory.
Day 1: A Soft Realization
Got the prompts for the @ishihimeweek all mixed LOL, but my muse is messy, first prompt based on a single panel I drew years ago, I plan another later on so here you go for now! <3 I tried for soft colors to reinforce the subtlety.
THIS IS A BETTER AND CUTE ENDING AND MAKE ME FINALLY ACCEPT ORIHIME
“IchiRuki is friendship.”
“Canonically Ichihime is hinted at so much.”
“Ichigo and Rukia are not friends.” - Kubo Tite. Loads of IchiRuki moments here and more - canonically by Kubo Tite. Fade to Black movie, “the change in their feelings.” by Kubo Tite.
IchiRuki is not friendship. But idk, what about Ichihime? Who is Orihime to Ichigo? Starting with “F” and ending with “D”, oh I know:
Ok, first saying us IchiRuki must be plain girls to ship Rukia with Ichigo, failed, and then: “Shipping IchiRuki is a perfect example of fans that can’t let male/female friendship be just friendship and start shipping them.”
Failed twice.
Now really:
While Kubo gave up on IchiRuki, here’s our true hero drawing IchiRuki after one year Bleach left us. (Plus it’s IchiRuki’s month!!)
He even liked my tweets stating “they look so happy together” “true soulmate” and bunch of other OBVIOUSLY SHIPPING ICHIRUKI and he liked each one of them. He shipped it. I love him 💖💖💖 Masashi Sensei 😘😘
i wasn’t upset at B*each’s ending for the endgames (k*bo doesnt give a single fuck about your endgames– y’all got a shitty canon confirmation) i am upset because K*bo developed ir’s relationship and gave it romantic undertones (a debatable fact in numerous occasions but undeniable in chapter 423, 436 and even 181) all throughout the manga but then got these endgames out of his ass in 681 without prior development at all save for 2 very unrequited love stories. and now this novel who keeps on prolonging the bullshit raining down on all of us, assassinating r.ukia’s character and passing some magic tricks to try to give the endgames some fucking sense.
Keep reading

Bleach has so much potential to be an awesome shounen manga. It has such a great cast, a very relatable protagonist like Ichigo and an amazing ship like IchiRuki. The Fullbring arc and the last arc had promising start, but then they went down hill when Kubo introduced boring antagonists. I stopped reading at the beginning of the last arc to wait for the end of the manga, but then 686 came out and Kubo ruined Bleach for me. But I think I still have to reread it and give it another ending.
Hi anon, thank you for the ask. Sorry this is going to be long because you gave me the opportunity to address some of the fundamental issues with Kubo’s writing.
Yes, we all can agree Kubo has many (not all, but many) great characters, a great premise of three worlds occupied by different beings, a phenomenal clean art style that took the manga world by storm, an interesting launch pad story and probably the only well known shounen that weaved romance, angst and melancholy so heavily into its main premise. It definitely seemed like a shounen that will break the mould and create its appeal with the older audience as well, because it tug on the reader’s heartstrings. The general consensus is that shounen manga are usually terrible at writing well developed romance and compelling relationships between adults but bleach started out as a black sheep in this regard and definitely had the potential to create a new milestone; its refreshing take on shounen genre is what made it popular in first place.
But it wasn’t enough to keep the series running without evolving it further. I think the problem with Kubo as an author (I am not referring to the person he is beyond his pen name, just the author), as pointed by thousands of others in shounen circles over years, is that he is too egoistic. Hey everyone should be a little egoistic, I am not judging him for that, but it shouldn’t come to the point that it compromises the very work that made you famous in first place. Let’s start with art: He doesn’t want to rely on assistant artists to the point that he would rather leave his backgrounds empty than take help. I have no problem with Kubo keeping everything in his hands, but then at least draw the panels completely if you won’t take help. Don’t make readers compromise. I have had a Kubo apologizer tell me they actually like the empty backgrounds because they are quite “refreshing”. Such is the extent of denial that runs in our fandom. Incidentally when I probed this person further, they also happen to be someone who has never purchased any of the bleach volumes or spent a single penny on bleach, EVER. Must be nice to praise Kubo when you aren’t even part of the paying customer base he scapegoated or even support his work financially. Bleach has suffered greatly in quality due to Kubo’s short sighted choices instead of doing what the manga actually needed. Majority of the manga in later chapters look like unfinished panels because there is very little environmental detail to understand the world where the panels exist. Too many close ups try to take Reader’s mind away from it but you really can’t after some time. To begin with, manga has more difficult job of conveying “action” than anime does and to leave backgrounds and environment out of it literally removes majority of the impact. I have lost count of how many panels are literally random blob of ink in later chapters where I cannot even understand the meaning of the panel no matter how long I look at it, because there is probably none. And this isn’t to say Kubo can’t draw action properly, just look any of the earlier battles and the energy each page conveys to the reader. Something went wrong along the line.
As for the story and character development: Kubo would rather let his manga go down the drain along with his characters than work with ghost writers who can do the draft work for the story HE WANTS to write but can focus on the art instead of doing the actual story work. It would still be his story because he would still be in control of the over all direction. If he was feeling pressed for time that would have been a better alternative than writing an unimaginative story arc after arc and even making his art suffer for it. This would have also given him time to think more deeply about each character and what kind of depth, development he wants to give them. For crying out aloud, even the main villain Aizen is one dimensional and doesn’t have a back story. TBTP arc shows him when he already turned evil and is already a VC. How did he get into gotei 13 or the academy? We got to see this development for even side characters like Kira and Momoi, why not Aizen? How was his life like before he decided to become shinigami? Did he have a family or relatives or friends? What motivated him to turn evil? What are his powers (bankai, soul form etc)? Anything at all on his past before gotei??! We all know kubo always wanted to draw cool shit and that he is really very good at, I will give him that. The manga was simply a medium to deliver that cool art, story was never his primary focus. Which we evidently saw as well that developing story in a compelling way is not his strong point and he should have been more open to assistance when he needed it. Looking back, it is equally as unfortunate for Kubo as it is for anyone else that he was literally sitting on a project that would have given him lifelong income and work to do. There are so many spin offs that could have originated from the original work and each would have sold well due to the already established fandom that bleach sadly failed to retain.
Lastly the editors are there for a reason. And WSJ is doing just fine on editing part with other famous mega hit mangas. Instead of taking guidance from them, he often spoke against them and didn’t get along with them. It is editors’ job to criticize the work and bring the best out in a mangaka, they are not hired to suck up to the mangaka. The editor is obligated to provide criticism as part of his job because if he fails to do it , a possibly faulty work reaches the fan and then they will be the one to see all these loopholes and criticize them, which looks bad on both mangaka and editor’s part. Given the stressful environment most mangaka work in, they are not always in a good state of mind to see the obvious issues with their stories and this is why they rely on the editor to give them perspective from an unbiased source. But Kubo couldn’t make that connection with his editors and his work suffered as a result. In fact I think the very reason for the fallout in the end with WSJ and kubo might have been this shit ending. I can’t imagine WSJ giving such a literary disaster a green light in their right minds so they just decided to pull the plug on bleach instead. Because this ending would still not be popular even if Kubo got more time to wrap up the series, so there really was no point in giving him anymore space when more manga are waiting for the spot in pipeline. Poor development over time turned his diamond into dust.
I personally stick to the anime because SP did a great job with adding extra content of daily lives, filler arcs etc that at least gave us more opportunities to understand these characters and see them interact with each other. The gags in fillers are also top notch. When I feel nostalgic I go back and watch specific parts like Ichigo vs Byakuya, Ichigo saving Rukia, most of SS arc really, Ichigo vs Grimmjow in human world or just the filler episodes of daily lives with no conflicts going on. I don’t think I would go back and read the manga though, no, because every panel is bound to just leave me angrier and upset again, and I am really over that phase now. But do whatever helps you cope, anon! Alternate endings are definitely popular. If you want to write one of your own, I am sure the fandom will appreciate and support it. All the best!
Thank you for explaining, this really helped me a lot and made me realise that the anime is more canon than the manga itself.
RR Novel, IH sketch. Insulting.
You see, I’ve been trying to make sense of the IH pair and try to find out the possible reason behind why Kubo made them canon. But the evidence is just not enough, I do realise that Kubo always let RR work together and separate Ichigo and Rukia for such a looong time, so during those times Orihime was always beside Ichigo but…Ichigo never give a damn, I mean if Kubo really want us to accept the pair, he could’ve made Orihime look attractive or she had a scene being under the rain with Ichigo under the same umbrella you knooow the same cliche romantic shoujo scene but he never made it happen, instead Ichigo legit ignore Orihime when he lost his power. I meaan he could’ve go on a date while Rukia was gone, but did he? Do share when Orihime ever give Ichigo useful motivation talk? cause I cant remember any. Anyway, what I’m trying to say is.. it’s more than obvious that Kubo intentionally made all those sweet romantic deep moment between Ichigo and Rukia, especially the parallelism of MasakixIsshin. We dont need to dig deep into this relationship, IT WAS JUST SO OBVIOUS! The moments that Ichigo and Rukia had, she never had it with Renji. Same goes to Orihime. That is why all of this is just insulting. Kubo should have known that the fans/readers expect that IchiRuki would become canon, heck, HE INTENDED IT, so he has ZERO RIGHTS to make it not canon, he has ZERO RIGHTS to rush IchiHime to become canon in the last chapter, he has ZERO RIGHTS to be supporting a novel explaining how RR and IH happened when he spent YEARS developing IR, deepen their bonds, deceiving fans to believe him that the protagonists were Ichigo and Rukia where he didnt draw Rukia as much as he drew in SS arc. Nope, he didnt love her anymore. He didnt respect her anymore. What the heck was “the love and destiny that Ichigo inherited” while displaying the moment where Masaki rushed to Isshin while he’s lying on the ground while the rain was pouring, had to do with IH being canon? As I recall, that scene was too identical with when Ichigo lost concious and was on Rukia’s lap while the rain was pouring. I mean, all of this were drawn by Kubo’s own hand. He should’ve known that these things made people think that IR will be real and the “Yo, I’ve come to rescue you”. I dont really like how characters are paired just because of a reason that they are identical to their loved ones or their hair color is the same, I mean, in the case of Ichigo, the reason is because Orihime’s color is orange and she looked like his mother, YOU MARRIED A WOMAN NOT YOUR MOTHER! I admit that Kubo is a mangaka that is artistic (used to be), it’s just doesnt suit him to make the pairing so obvious as to make the hair color the same… so the pair is kind of boring and cliche. I thot Kubo didnt like cliche things but oh well, he changed.
Shoutout to all Ichiruki fans
I’m one of you too. I’m a Ichiruki shipper too. I love them, seriously. But you need to stop, you need to stop harrassing kubo on twitter. Please. Okay, I can understand you, I’m salty too, very salty, and I feel betrayed. But please stop it, that won’t change anything! That won’t make it better! That will only make the whole bleach fandom look down on us Ichiruki shippers! And I don’t want that, because it’s not true that all of us are trash! That we’re just rabid and salty haters, it’s just not true! So please, please stop sending that message all around.
EDIT: well I dun even know if anyone is still doing that, but if you, who reads this rn, do it, than please stop.
Thanks for reading.
Her reaction was too cute 😂
(Oh i cut it from the backstage video)
this part is just too cute, Ichigo be like "why'd she run away, is she okay *run*" 😂
Stop comparing Bleach to Naruto, you dumbasses. The NaruSaku fandom was a minority when it came to the ending, they were just louder than the other fandoms. You wouldn’t be having all these problems had it only been IchiRuki fans against the ending. 99% of the BLEACH fandom hates it, yeah that includes people that haven’t read it in years and non-shippers. The NaruHina ship then later got a movie because it was actually supported by the fandom. The IH shippers will literally never have a movie, (we already have ours) their ship will always be an example of a mangaka fucking up his own work. They wish their situation was the same as the Naruto situation. No bitch, open your eyes and start looking at sources other than anti-IchiRuki blogs and Reddit/4chan.
Ichiruki
Okay, getting this out in the open now. Can those who follow the Ichiruki fandom reblog this? How many are there? The honest to God truth? There will never be two characters like Rukia and Ichigo. Never ever. Ever.
How Bleach pairing should have ended part 2
Rukia: *entering Soul Society by the Soul Gate*
Renji: what’s with that frowning face
Rukia: *startled* ooh Renji! didn’t see you there, yo!
Renji: what’s with that awkward greeting
Rukia: aha ha ha
Renji: whatever..so what time will Ichigo come for your Captain promotion ceremony?
Rukia: ah..about that..
Renji: *raising one eyebrow* you havent tell him didnt you?
Rukia: aha ha ha *Renji hit her head* ouch! what was that for!
Renji: tomorrow is your big day! it took centuries for it to happen, wouldnt you want Ichigo to be there?? aah this is not right I’m going to Karakura Town *opening the gate*
Rukia: Renji! *pulled his shirt* dont..
Renji: why!
Rukia: tomorrow..Ichigo will get married to Orihime
Renji: who caares! nothing is important than your- wait WHAT??? but how? wait tomorrow? Ichigo?? WHAT!! I thought Ishida likes her...I know the fact that Orihime has a thing for him, but Ichigo? really?? didn’t he likes you??? WHY DID HE EVEN RISK HIS LIFE TO SAVE YOU?? I MEAN I’M A GUY, I CERTAINLY SURE THAT HE HAS FEELINGS FOR YOU!!
Rukia: SHUT UP!! things just happen, it has been 2 years since yhwach, we’ve been busy rebuilding our respective worlds, something must have happen between them, it’s no surprise. and dont say something so absurd as to Ichigo having feelings for me, that’s just wrong, we’re just friends.
Renji:...so why are you in pain?
Rukia: what??
Renji: Rukia, I’ve know you for a really long time, this face you’re having now is the same when you were adopted into a Kuchiki family. I am still guilty of what happened, I should’ve stopped you but I didn’t. Since then you never really are happy until you met Ichigo. So you’re telling me to stop doing what I should’ve done centuries ago? Nope, not again.
Rukia: ah! I just remember that Nii-sama told me to report to him once I arrive Soul Society! I need to go now!
Renji: oi Rukia!
Rukia: Renji, it’s okay, I will be fine, I’m going to be very busy anyway after getting promoted as a captain, lots of things need to be done, I wont have much time to think about the real world. *smiled* *left*
Renji: “I will” eh? and this is why girls are complicated, they always say the opposite of what they feel.
How Bleach pairing should have ended part 1
Ichigo: *killing some Hollows* kussoo, why are these things still around even after Yhwach has gone
Rukia: Idiot, Hollows would not end just because you have defeated the big boss, they exist just like Human and Shinigami, where’s your logic?
Ichigo:*pissed by how rukia sound so confidence*
*phone ring*
Ichigo: eh, why are Yuzu calling me...ah! I just remembered about the wedding preparation! shimatta!
Rukia: HOW CAN YOU FORGOT SUCH IMPORTANT THING! GO THIS INSTANCE!
Ichigo: i know, i know! but, are you okay handling them (hollows) by yourself?
Rukia: you dont have to worry you stupid, I’m a lieutenant, are you belittling my position *givehimtheeyes*
Ichigo: but-
Rukia: just go! I’ll be done in a sec and went back to Soul Society
Ichigo: eh? you’r going back? you’re not attending the ceremony tomorrow??
Rukia: umm..I..the..the Gotei 13 will have meeting tomorrow, both captain and vice-captain..so..I must be there
Ichigo: I see..I was hoping you’ll be at the ceremony
Rukia: *smiled* I think it’s better for me not to be there
Ichigo: what?
Rukia: ARENT YOU GOING ALREADY??
Ichigo: aah! right! I forgot again! jaa ne, Rukia! *shunpo-ing to his house*
Rukia: ...Sayonara..Ichigo..*smiled*
