r/BleachManga

😭🤧,My God that would be so emotional, forgot all the stupid shipping wars,the couple I wanted to get together the most were these two‼️

They confront each other in Hell, Ukitake now probably has some role there,what happens next⁉️🥹❤️‍🔥

For very quick context, I am an artist. That’s part of why I’m looking for and care about this stuff. Thought it may be good to ask this here since this is a question that regards design canon of the manga.

I’m having a really hard time finding an answer to this. As we all, or should, know, Studio Pierrot did what Studio Pierrot did best, and added or changed stuff to the original run of Bleach’s anime.

One of these changes is White having yellow eyes. Volume 25’s cover, I believe, is one of the only times, if not the only time, we actually see White coloured by Kubo, and we see his irises are white. (Nothing else is shown though, so I have a really hard time trusting if the red on Ichigo’s bankai turns dark blue on White like we can see in the anime)

But I am having a really really hard time finding if Ichigo’s eyes when he’s hollowfied/masked going yellow is just anime canon, or if that’s canon-canon (and if that’s also the reason why White’s eyes were made yellow as well). I am hesitant to trust the coloured manga because they also sometimes don’t have all the details, and can frequently be just as wrong in the colours as the anime (Plus I don’t know what sources they would be pulling from specifically that I can’t find. Google is ass, I’m not saying they don’t exist. I just can’t find them)

I am also hesitant to trust BBS for small details like this because they pull from the anime.

However… the recent art at the end of the openings and endings, on the official Bleach channel uploads, contain new art of Ichigo… and his eyes are yellow when masked. And so are hollow Ichigo’s, instead of being straight black.

So… are Ichigo’s irises going yellow canon now? Or has it always been canon, and it was only White the anime messed with in this regard? (And, if it exists and anyone has it, I would really appreciate it if someone could send me a link to White in bankai coloured by Kubo. I thought something like that existed, apparently it doesn’t. I need confirmation on the underside going blue or not :( )

Or, hell, if someone can just give me a good substantial reason/proof to genuinely look to the coloured manga as a good source for small details like this, I would also be happy with that! I‘m just hesitant because they can also be wrong, unfortunately.

Also, fandom wiki coming in absolutely clutch on being wrong, once again, because they describe White as having black teeth... even though every other time since then, he’s had white teeth :/

The reason Why Ywarch hates Ichibei so much is because they are brothers (Ichibei is also the Soul Kings son, which is why he has power over names,he was created by the Soul King himself from a mere fragment of his mind,but he is an independent being on his own,which is why he is considered his son and not a piece of the soul king like the Arm is ) and he did nothing to stop the Ancestors from mutilating their father.

(Ichibei didn't enjoy doing that and is in a rather somber mood when he explains Reio never resisted,

Ywarch used to be just like Tenga Zangustsu when he was younger, but the Betrayal and years of carrying all the parts of the Quincies souls emotions and feelings took a deep toll on Ywarch.

After the One Thousand Year Blood War Arc is over, Ywarch's corpse becomes the new Soul King, and Ichibei is very quiet and very somber,he isn't smiling. Shunshi and Squad Zero notice this change in behavior in Ichibei, Ichibei says he is glad Ichigo didn't have to be the Soul King,he genuinely liked him.

>!Honestly,this is pretty dark ,he had to watch his brother become a threat and become his enemy, and now he must live with the knowledge for all of his days that he couldn't stop the war and now his brother is subjected to his father's fate.!<

There is an entity in Bleach that may rival the Soul King's power, and it is a woman. This is not something officially stated by Tite Kubo or any confirmed information, just a personal theory.

Of course, Bleach is a Japanese work, so it naturally draws inspiration from Japanese culture and mythology. After doing some research, I found several myths that seem to parallel Bleach's setting to some extent.

Izanagi and Izanami are considered the first gods in Japanese mythology. At that time, the world was described as an endless sea. Here we can already see a possible inspiration reflected in Bleach.

Izanagi decided to create land, and this strongly resembles the Soul King's role in Bleach.

Izanagi then married Izanami, and they had a son named Hinokagutsuchi, the god of fire. Izanami died from severe burns during his birth and descended to the underworld.

Here, I assume that Yhwach plays a role similar to Hinokagutsuchi in the story, though with clear differences between the mythology and Bleach.

Later, Izanagi went to the underworld to bring Izanami back. She warned him not to look at her, but he ignored her warning. When he looked, he saw that her body had become a decaying corpse despite still being alive. Enraged, she sent the monsters of the underworld after him. Izanagi escaped and sealed the underworld behind him.

What I am trying to say is that if Bleach follows this mythology, then each character may symbolically represent a deity. This would imply that there is likely a character playing Izanami’s role, and that something similar happened between her and the Soul King, resulting in her remaining there.

After leaving, Izanagi gave birth to several gods from parts of his body:

Susanoo from his nose

Amaterasu from one eye

Tsukuyomi from the other eye

This mirrors what happened in Bleach when the Soul King was divided by the noble clans.

After that, Izanagi no longer appears in the mythology, while Izanami remains in the underworld.

The purpose of this post is to show how Kubo may have borrowed certain events from mythology. By understanding the source of his inspiration, it may be possible to predict what could happen later in the story.

Perhaps the character representing Izanami will seek revenge in the Hell Arc.

This is only a theory, of course.

What do you think?

Alternative Final Arc, Ichigo has to become the Soul King (Ywarch's corpse blew up 😞) to save all of existence and stuff !

How would you write this arc ?

Soul Society as the afterlife, fucking sucks,it's one of the worst afterlives of all time,all the poverty and not reuniting with your loved ones after death,it really sucks‼️😑

Amen, anyways,sooo is the Governing part of soul society at least getting slightly better ❔🤔 The dress codes are far more lax ❕🤩

so like I've been a huge fan of bleach for quite a while (I both read and watched it many times) yet I'm still yearning for more bleach content while waiting for cour 4. I'm considering reading can't fear your own world, but when I found out ichigo and his gang weren't the main focus of the story, it turned me off. listen I like shuhei and all, but he doesn't really stand out to me as a character, so I'll need some convincing to get into it if the story is that good.

I don't think they really need to do this, wasn't Ywarch doing just fine after he ate 🍗😋 his dad !

In my little experiment rewrite Mayuris involuntary impregnates a woman and experiments on her→ she runs away and gives birth to Aizen before dying shortly after→Baby! Aizen is found and taken to the districts and the Rest is history ‼️ 😱
