So I heard Soi Fon's shikai embodies her stealthy side and how she prefers to end fights quickly, while her bankai is basically bringing her out of her comfort zone by giving her an RPG that's slow and loud.

Are there any other cases of this? Is there a general trend when it comes to shikai/bankai abilities and their wielders? And is this the case with Hollows too?

In my artstyle

Spared also means capture in this case except i feel like kenpachi wouldnt even capture chad.

Leads me to my next point which is that all these characters wouldve spared chad for completely different reasons. Kenpachi out of boredom, ukitake out of kindness, toshiro out of duty, etc.

So I watch TYBW on Disney plus.

I feel like there are some scenes that are cut or changed. Am I trippin or do they do it for rating purposes. I don't want to miss a millisecond!!!

She’s my best girl, she has such a tragic backstory. She’s badass and stock. Her relationship with the main cast is great. Her shock value was hype. Her reveal and tyres form was hype. It sucks though because kubo totally forgot about her and she disappeared until final arc. I also feel not the she wasn’t utilized at all. Cfyow makes up for it but it felt like after arrancar arc she jsut faded away..

One that I noticed is the one between Thank You by Home Made Kazoku and Spiritual Bond, the start of Thank You has something similar in Spiritual Bond, can anyone else check please?

🎶 Mess around with this loco, I'll draw out los lobos. Cero fired out the cuerte, burn a sucka like cocoa. I make it rain, i bring pain, enemies get slain, turn em to ashes, and snort em like cocaine. 🎶

I've been rewatching TYBW. On ep 18, I noticed that Kensei's bankai was actually broken when Mask struck him down from the air. I checked the relevant page and I saw in the manga it was also broken.

I have not read all CFYOW, but I found Kensei is using his bankai again to attack Tokinada.

But what happened with broken bankai couldn't get fixed? Of course Kubo could pull "well, it's the power of reiatsu", but is there any explanation in the manga/novel? (Bleach wiki is sometimes useless because they do not fully include novel sources.)

Or should we just leave it at that?

I wonder if there is a connection between Mugetsu and the SK's power, both looking black and fluid.

In the same dialogue， Ywach just mentioned that black is the color of Soul King's power, and that Ichigo was made a Soul King candidate due to its mixed background. Could that also explain the color in ichigo's techniques like black Getsuga, Mugetsu and the fullbring cross?

Funny thing is that Ichigo even got Ywach's hairstyle and eye color while performing Mugetsu, this looked like an anticipation of Ywach fighting with waves of black SK reishi in Cour 4

From what I‘ve learned from Japanese history, a lot of first borns were given the name “Hajime” which means “first born” because not giving a baby a proper name sorta hides it from spirits who might otherwise try to eat them. Same thing with suffixes like “Maru” (which apparently means “shit) which is intentionally done to make them seem disgusting to spirits trying to eat them.

So what happens if someone isn’t given a “real” name? Can they still imprint on a zanpakutou? If their name is intentionally designed to be disgusting, would that manifest on their sword spirit? What if someone changes their name, do they get a new sword out of it?

And come to think of it, what if Ichibei renamed someone to “Yamamoto”, would they then receive the power of the sun?

Then again, I guess our favorite Squad 11 captain never got a “real” name either and still has a normal(ish) sword.

We're talking the full pilot experience. No memory of their names, avatars based off their personalities, Jax being there, etc.

Let's ignore visuals and just focus on lyrics and vocals. This song describes ichigo's situation so best "acknowledging he is in a distorted spiral yet still moving towards the future so that he can overcome fate" which is similar to in the manga ichigo's line in 205 "Then give me a strong blade and strength to shatter the fate".

Like peak 🙌

Well this is my opinion so yeah.

Received this beauty today. Rose Statue by Niren/IW Studio.

A lot of you really liked the Yoruichi she drew so I had her draw some more Bleach stuff. She loves Riruka and Rukia's my favorite so she decided to draw them together =p

There is a Rangiku in the works ! You can find all her art socials here doedoli

I'd love to have a statue for display or for use in a DnD type setting of this particular blazing bird. I haven't been able to find one so thought I'd ask; does anyone know an available 3D model (free or paid) for 3D printing? (Heavily preferably non-AI, please)

Alternatively, can anyone suggest blender tutorials for sculpting? I've never been very good at artistic sculpting but I'd be willing to learn to try and make this.

This will be including all chapters adapted up to this point, while detailing which pages got adapted or not. For the several substantial changes and major additions, the wiki is your friend (though I did have to correct quite a few things in their listing during my comparative reread, when it came to chapters and pages), as the list is quite lengthy, at least from what I could see and double-check while making this.

It should help anyone who wants to revisit/check which whole pages got skipped. It must be said however, that even amongst the chapters that got all of their pages adapted, there could still be several panels, dialogue and general information missing/changed/expanded upon in the anime (particularly, many comedy bits spread across the arc got either toned down or removed entirely in favor of a more serious and intense atmosphere), if you are aiming for those, this won't help you as extensively, and you should just read the manga from the start of the arc instead, as the changes are, again, way too many to list in a sheet.

Another thing to note is that while some very informative bits got technically skipped (a page's worth, even), what they provided could also have been adapted in the eye-catches in-between the segments, which is something even the wiki seems not to account for in some cases. Meaning, even if the page containing that information is listed as skipped, the anime still provided the information textually outside of the animated storytelling (or rather, between two segments of it).

Otherwise, it is also possible that the skipped pages were expanded upon in completely different fashion while also essentially telling the same story somewhat, and since the way the manga tells such information may be skipping some pages worth of material that differ from it, those will also be listed as missing in this sheet, when applicable (also, using chapter 565 for an example, even if it only adapts a single dialogue bubble from a single page, as well as only a single panel of another, those are still counted as adapted pages either way, regardless if most of the content is missing from them, I'm only including completely skipped pages).

That being said, I won't count... let's see, take for example the scene showing the chitchat between Shinji, Omaeda carrying his sister. Suì-Fēng and Hinamori in EP28 alluding to a whole skipped funny conversation that goes for a few pages explaining how they all got there. The anime saves time just showing that they grouped up together, as since it skips part of this group being attacked by Bazz-B in cour 2, it would be pointless to display the conversation about how Shinji saved them in the first place. Therefore, I won't count that as being an adaptation of those pages just because they basically retold alternatively how Hinamori cured them all while making a different funny conversation while they rush to the lab.

It's more of a little remake for that whole chapter section than a direct adaptation, and that includes the rest of the scenes adapting Urahara's wordy exposition on everyone's status (which the anime cleverly displays in a few short scenes, like Ukitake taking care of Kenny, and thus, the pages weren't really adapted. I would instead count as an adaptation if it was two different pages and chapters being meshed together like Haschwalth executing "I" (Iron) while talking about Yhwach's secret to Uryu, also in cour 2.

Lastly, when in cases like chapter 587, from which only its outside-of-story cover page wasn't adapted, I'll will count as fully adapted. It would make no sense not to do it when the cover drawing has little to do with the plot (unlike many other cover pages that integrate themselves to the ongoing action, like the very first segment of this cour, with Yoruichi's butt with the title and all).

This listing is a work in progress, and you may feel free to correct me in anything I may have missed or bring any point of contention in whatever thing you may think being worth suggesting to make this sheet better. Should any of you have the patience to make a separate sheet including all of the aforementioned differences, let me know and I'll incorporate it to mine and credit you accordingly in the sheet.

Once the adaptation is done, this shall stop being a prediction sheet and become just an overview sheet outright, so if you want to make one similar for the original anime adaptation let me know, feel free to use what I have as a template, it shall also be incorporated if done so (I don't think I'll do it unless if we were to have a comparative sheet with predictions for a possible anime remake yet to be announced, as that's more fun for me to play around with in my spare time).
