::Bleach::

Post by **Starnum** » Wed Nov 09, 2005 2:18 am

Oh, I'm not worried at all. Bleach is one of my absolute favorite manga...I really love it, and this Rukia thing has only increased my liking of it, if anything. I swear, if I ever see a large scale battle involving Kisuke, I don't know what I'd do with myself.

Oh, and as for Evilester_Me, she's a female according to her gender tag under her av.

Well I've noticed a trend in these mangas that things usually go unexplained or "crapply" explained. Like it was in this past chapter. XD

My faith in Kubo has to do with me having faith that there will be another sick plot twist which he does well. But when it comes to giving me fights I want to see (Kisuke and Toushiro as examples) he has failed (IMO). But he is up there with the best Mangakas (I rank him third on my list).

Thanx for the spelling correction Starnum ( I assume itwas you).

I think he wants to give the readers something other than the same type of fight over and over again. Let's be honest: So far it has always been the same. Some bad guy comes, beats Ichigo (or someone else) up, then suddenly Ichigo (or another "hero" type character) becomes stronger and beats the guy. Works about 10 times, maybe 20, maybe 50, but at some point you're going to want to see something else.

And that's why I guess he's focussing on other characters, where he might get out of this pattern for a short while. It'll come up again soon enough. And since he's got this huge menagerie of characters, we'll have to wait for a long time until we've seen all of them fight.

Well, he had the "(sp?)" thing, so I thought I'd help him out.

What does bleach mean actually? (im not totally anglophone, and too lazy to go check in a dictionnary)

It's something to make your washing look nice and white.

As usual the title has nothing to do with the manga itself, but that's nothing new for manga.

It's also a handy tool for cleaning bloodstains.

Post by **Finito** » Thu Nov 10, 2005 2:00 pm

I see, so the author thought it was handy and he putted it as a title to make publicity.

Maybe we should try to guess why he put bleach as the manga title...

Ichigo's hair is suppose to be the color that ones hair turns to when its bleached.

Post by **Starnum** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 4:02 am

Yeah, when you bleach your hair, it turns to an orangish blonde color, just like Ichigo's. However, unlike Great Teacher Onizuka, Ichigo doesn't bleach his hair, it's just naturally that color. I think that's why Kubo went with that name though.

pretty interesting way of naming a series if you think about it

Post by **Grahf** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 6:02 pm

interesting? I wouldn't say that if you look at it most mangas or animes usually have names having something to do with the main character. This one is no different.

Post by **Eldo** » Fri Nov 11, 2005 11:49 pm

It just probably sounds cool in Japanese. Holds no relevance in the manga whatsoever.

You can also bleach your teeth, which make them white?

I really don't think these Arankaru are as tough as Toushiro made them out to be. Otherwise, our heros wouldn't stand much of a chance against them. I mean, Ikkaku is cool, but as far as we know, he doesn't even have a bankai. Very interesting how Arankaru release their zanpakutou though. This may greatly tip the scale of the battle, but somehow I'm betting on Ikkaku. I look forward to seeing Grim Jaw release his zanpakutou though.

Yoruichi also talked big of them. Saying that they are "stronger than she and he could have predicted". I think She can't fight for a couple of chapters from what was said of her injuries. Then again she should have used "flash Release".

Anyway it will be interesing to see how the Arankaru who is going to attack Renji gets handled. Its almost a good bet that Renji gets owned and Urhara will have to come out and save the day. At least I hope thats the scenario.

Interesting indeed. Would of been kinda the same thing if their sword just changed. Didn't like the design of this players release though.

Yeah, I agree. Maybe some of them are just weaker than others, or something. I hope the one that attacks Renji is really strong, because I want to see Kisuke lay down the ownage.

Don't we all but I'm sure Kubo will find a way to ruin it.

I know, he's so mean to us. *Randomly shakes his fist towards Nippon*
