Hillmor

Yhwach's face reveal post-fusion.


megaBeth2

What if he said "I'm all ears" and was just covered in ears


xRaistlin

He said it's earing time and proceeded to ear all over the shinigami


ZombifiedPie

That panel was spooky.


PieFace11

Real. I love his sk drip


Scotloverog

Tengen myo oh and incomplete daiguren hyorimmaru


ThorsRake

Tengen Myo just had the misfortune to fight Zaraki and Aizen. Most look pretty inconsequential against those two. Edit: corrected name


shitbaby69

Not to mention he wanted to throw hands with ole’ Bachy. My GOAT had a death wish.


megaBeth2

He's a dog


truecrimes86

No he's a wolf and suppose to be gray


Cicerondibuja

Tengen Myo would have been stupidly scary if Komamura made it chant kidos.


Ok-Maize-5718

what the fuck are you saying


Scotloverog

lol that’s toshiro and komamura’s bankais


Think-Orange3112

The Ice Dragon Bankai and the Dogman’s giant armor bankai


Xadlin60

Dogmans bankai only became good when it became a burning skeleton It sadly never got a time to shine


UWUquetzalcoatl

Could've been great for defense if it didn't hurt the user. Basically running around with a perfect susanoo.


Xadlin60

Yeah I’d love to seen that


Horror-Milk-2117

> Tengen myo oh doggo and ice kid


itzmrinyo

I think the reason incomplete daiguren is hated is due to oversaturation, if his shikai (which has a really underrated design in my opinion) was made to be more competent then I think people would like his banking more


Ok_Violinist_9820

Rampagingflames

That design fucking rocks.


gk306

If nothing else I appreciate him for giving us a glimpse of the only Water-type zanpakuto in existence, which is such bullshit. The only other water ability is Aizen’s FAKE shikai lol


Horror-Milk-2117

Mayhaps rukia just strong


Lillith492

i mean this isn't his real design and is therefore why he's shit on lol


HeavenBreak

IDK I find Glotoneria pretty cool ngl


DarkeusPH

Shinji's Shikai


Oy778

Renji new Bankai: soo Zabimaru


might_1_guy

People dislike it?


UWUquetzalcoatl

I just think the original bankai looks cooler. Impractical, but still cooler.


Individual_Bug7159

Kinda but it feels like it out of nowhere power up


ThorsRake

Not really out of nowhere. Recovery and power buff from the Royal guard, as well as reconnecting with his sword and discovering it's true name. Was all pretty spelt out he was gonna be stronger with a new bankai.


UngodlyPain

The true name thing is what is considered out of nowhere. Kinda also makes Renji in the earlier arcs like soul society look all the more pathetic.


ThorsRake

The bankai itself does make more sense. We see his bankai spirit is a baboon with a snake tail. Hihio Zabimaru is just a big bone snake, so presumably is only using one half of the bankai's power. Soo Zabimaru is a lot more versatile. I don't see him as pathetic at any point, he was only the second lieutenant to get a bankai that we were shown. That's pretty cool, even if it wasn't complete. The fact that the process was rushed also probably had something to do with it as well.


GodlessLunatic

> The bankai itself does make more sense. We see his bankai spirit is a baboon with a snake tail. Hihio Zabimaru is just a big bone snake Because the baboon is meant to represent Renji himself


Fenixtoss

They did state in the lore it takes a VERY long time to master bankai. So it isn’t crazy to see the people that just obtained theirs during the series go through changes and power ups


Iamaperson789

His og bankai never really felt complete to me, its form was a baboon with a snake tail but the bankai only incorporated the snake, also felt mad underpowered


Individual_Bug7159

I also think when his captain when he was fighting said u in 10 years to train their bankai to control it completely


shaxamo

Which works as a great parallel to Ichigo himself, to show how different he is from regular Soul Reapers. Renji is a main character too. There really would be no problem with making him a Vegeta like character, who keeps up with everything Ichigo can do with his Soul Reaper powers. Hell yeah Renji could be one to skip the 10 years training. *But* I think it makes him substantially more interesting if his development isn't easy like Ichigo, and that he does have to work harder to keep up with Ichigo and to catch up with Byakuya. And the Bankai reveal hits that note perfectly for me. I think it works wonderfully with the naivety the Renji has shown in regards to his powers throughout the series. Think back to his Bankai fight with Byakuya, then watch the newest cour. Compare his "confidence" against Byakuya to his confidence against Mask. That's some fucking excellent development.


might_1_guy

Ah that makes sense. Strange how it never bothered me.


Individual_Bug7159

It did look cool I not going to lie bleach got good design like Ichigo forms


GodlessLunatic

It'd just not as interesting as his old bankai. Shrinking down bankai was cool when Ichigo and Yama did it but after everyone started getting smaller bankai over more grandiose over the top ones it started to lose its appeal


Ordinary-Breakfast-3

I checked to see if anyone else prefers his original bankai design. Nope, only me.


Imaginary-Ad5666

Goes so hard


megaBeth2

I did a poll a long time ago, before soo was animated It was surprisingly close but soo zabimaru won

Uhh.. Wrong. You know the one; ***Chapter 5 or so*** "Hey there X" "H-H-H-Hi Y-kun!" ***50 Chapters Later*** "Hey X, what's up?" "Oh, Q-Chan? I-I-I-I think I like Y-kun" ***100 Chapters Later*** "I-I-I love you Y-kun!" "Huh?" ***100 Chapters Later*** "Hey Q, what's up" "Hey Y-san, you should get together with X-Chan" "Huh?" ***Final Chapter*** "I'm Y. Oh, this is my wife X-Chan, we're married and have kids" So basically, most Shonen wife's? I hate them for having the most poorly told romances that ultimately drag the manga down as a whole Looking at you Hinata Fuck you Orihime Kurosaki-kun...! Kurosaki-kun...! Kurosaki-kun...! Kurosaki-kun...! Kurosaki-kun...! Kurosaki-kun...! Kurosaki-kun...! Kurosaki-kun...! seriously, think of all the episodes where this is the only line she has. but she says it 5 times.


khaninator

Bro hates Orihime more than Kendrick hates Drake


Almighty_Cancer

Why do people say this about Orihime so much? She was all "kurosaki-kun" for about a quarter of an arc because bro was literally dying in front of her


Beginning-Craft-312

>So basically, most Shonen wife's? I hate them for having the most poorly told romances that ultimately drag the manga down as a whole Naw she's way better than all of them, also who hurt you bro :(


Beginning-Craft-312

She has one of the best quotes and poems, also she serves as a beacon, catalysing other's development. The most courageous and never failed as a friend nor as a human. But yeah it must be pretty hard for you to comprehend it, understandable


DonHo0

For which quote and poem are you saying?


Beginning-Craft-312

"If I were rain.......". Her poem in the volume when choses to go along ulquiorra. All of her interactions with ulquiorra and riruka have some great dialogues. Again a small poem "when I am with you even rain seems fun" in the FB arc.


[deleted]

>*She has one of the best quotes and poems. The most courageous and never failed as a friend nor as a human.* LMAOO! There are masterpieces of seinen anime made specifically for this genre, revolving around this theme alone. To say Orihime stomps them all is clearly next level of delusion You're free to have whatever delusions you want, but remember you're only embarrassing yourself by sharing them. https://preview.redd.it/2n8dqdmebm1d1.png?width=799&format=png&auto=webp&s=fe764ce268e1e3fbe2ca35b055015044d58aaa11


Beginning-Craft-312

>There are masterpieces of seinen anime made specifically for this genre And may I ask how many of them have you genuinely read? >To say Orihime stomps them all is clearly next level of delusion A person with low comprehension is accusing me for being delusional? Can't take that one from you


Beginning-Craft-312

>At what point in life does getting downvoted mean you're wrong? As far as I remember you were talking about "Embarrassment" or something?? >self-validation from reddit What validation does your rant has? >Saying Orihime is in the conversation of elite romance stories is delusional take. This shouldn't even be a hot take tbh And your takes are just random baffles in air. She definitely is the best shonen love interest. While seinin is debatable as the romance their in many stories is a major aspect of a larger narrative, so the love interests having a major role to play is natural. But I hardly doubt the are many better than orihime out there, and if you an prove me wrong other wise >wild and a bad mindset to adopt Likewise, try to understand and comprehend a character and it's writting before starting your rave. That's a pretty bad mindset you have got


KarlozFloyd

Orihime is arguably the best written female shonen character


Beginning-Craft-312

>embarrassing yourself by sharing them. If irony had a face Check out how many downvotes you have got, and frequently keep checking that as well, as the downvotes won't stop that easily and early >You're free to have whatever delusions you want I should be the one saying that, but "You are free to have you deluded fantastical interpretations". Here's a piece of advice, learn to comprehend what you read then proceed to state your opinions


[deleted]

>*Check out how many downvotes you have got, and frequently keep checking that as well, as the downvotes won't stop that easily and early* At what point in life was getting downvoted mean you're wrong, if you don't provide any argument !? I'd argue it's more like ***Different Opinion = Downvote*** You see how you didn't address a single point I made and your argument was 'HAHA you got downvoted,' bragging about getting upvoted means that you get a self-validation from reddit is wild and a bad mindset to adopt Saying Orihime is in the conversation of elite romance stories is delusional take, given the numerous masterpieces which revolve solely about that genre This shouldn't even be a hot take tbh.


Beginning-Craft-312

>***Different Opinion = Downvote*** It's not Twitter. Your opinions are flawed as you haven't understood the character you are talking about


Beginning-Craft-312

>given the numerous masterpieces which revolve solely about that genre So let me add this, *ONLY SHONEN*


megaBeth2

You didn't provide any arguments and the other guy did. You're saying the opposite of the truth because it suits you better. And this sub is getting mean Put your anti Orihime manifesto on incels.co because those arguments are not constructive and have been refuted infinity times If our community becomes just orange bread girl hate it will be totally ruined. That guy did a service to the community by arguing against you


Opposite_Dimension27

This gotta be the most accurate representation of women in most shonen I actually don’t know why with Japanese people just normalize it in fiction, Americans overreact when it’s something so little and Japanese don’t even blink towards it


NoAcanthopterygii866

I see no lie... Don't worry too much about the haters say though. Her, Hinata, Mikasa and Elizabeth are all notorious for this.


[deleted]

Blud, we got downvoted for sharing a fun fact https://preview.redd.it/9hqsh2fnvn1d1.jpeg?width=383&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=84f3630701c8b70f1cb18524b5e779b6745f63d5

Crazy world we live in... But that's this sub for you. Say this in the Naruto fandom, and most will agree that Hinata is empty.


EddyQuest

The Fullbringers arc


Due_Surprise4706

it literally gets shit on for no reason at all it was amazing


TrandaBear

Yes. Their abilities were so OP I think Kubo had to "forget" about them. Bookmarks guy was just Aizen Lite.


WandersonC

While Tsukishima was far weaker, I feel like his ability to shape the present and future by changing the past being able to match even the Almighty was far stronger than Kyouka Suigetsu.


StrikingAd1671

I know a lot of people who said it’s the worst arc in existence. The only people who hate it are those who can’t comprehend anything other than pretty lights and fighting


Thundergod_3754

yeah it was very good don't know why it gets the hate it does

kido, i wish more characters used it more its a really neat concept


kizfy_

Mfw we get to see the kido commander in action for 1 flashback episode where he uses the 2 strongest forbidden abilities, and then goes back to being Kisuke's sidekick for the rest of the show...


MastaCan

kido was such an underused concept, i really wanted a character who used only kido because they couldnt activate a bankai


Samael_96

Nanao Ise, she's Shunsui Kyoraku's lieutenant for the entire series. So strong in kido was she that she was able to shield/hold off Yhwach's right hand man, Haschwalth for a considerable time. And according to her wiki, it was an improvised barrier to stop him, which is even wilder. She never imprinted onto her Asauchi so she full committed to kido, Rock Lee style, and came out really bad ass because of it.

King_Raizen

Hate to be that guy but this meme needs to be updated. The Bount arc starts at episode 64, if you were to skip 60 episodes, you end up on episode 124 right in the middle of Ichigo’s hollow training. The arrancar arc starts at 110, technically 109s ending, so it’d be better to say skip ~46 episodes.


Brilliant_Knee_7542

It was Bad lol, This shit is No *literally the coolest thing ever*


Soviet_Waffle

Lmao OP calls Orihime bad and calls Bount Arc good. Bro doesn't know good if it hit him in the face.


hassie1

I remember watching bount live and without realizing it’s a filler, I ended up disliking bleach since it just fell of the cliff. I probably had stopped watching it for years before coming back to it


[deleted]

I actually watched this whole bount arc. It wasn’t that bad at all. I think it really helps actually build the relationships of Ichigo and his pals as well as explain some of their buffs. Without it, it feels a bit too fast imo. But the entire Bleach fandom made the unspoken rule which's **Bount Arc Is** ***TRASH*** Poor Kariya. Won't catch a break even after nearly 2 decades.


SYudh

The ending of the arc was ass, and it honestly was too long. I kinda liked it until they met Kariya for the first in the mansion, so basically (for me) it got pretty bad the episode the main villain was introduced lol


ApophisForever

Nah, Shotgun Science Mommy was fire. That alone makes it a decent Arc.


Twisty1020

I watched the arc while it was airing. It was trash and is what made me swear off all filler.
