Apparently, this banner was used for a Bleach event over there. Naruto and Luffy are representing their series as well.

One of my favorite interpretations of IchiRuki kids was from Bleachlight - a fairly old Bleach time travel doujinshi by Laikkuseia.

The two characters were Kuchiki Hisayu, the young Byakuya trainee and prodigy, and her older less fortunate brother, Tsukino, an imperfect hybrid who was born with wildly unstable reiatsu and was sealed up by Soul Society for most of his life. The story had a really cool concept with Tsukino not being a proper Shinigami, but he and his Hisayu’s deep connection allowed him to borrow and use her Zanpakuto.

Unfortunately, the plot of the doujin itself was all over of the place, I think the author was a fellow young teen at that point. Neverthless, the art - especially in the later chapters - was fantastic, and the cast was relatively in-character, which I find a lot of fanfiction struggles with. While Lai deleted her old work, she seems to have worked on the TYBW anime which must be amazing.

I really love their designs and concept, especially Hisayu, and I’ve been using them and Bleachlight as inspiration for a fanfiction series I’m currently writing.

For me, it’s the top left since it’s iconic and I love Punk Ichigo. The Yu-Gi-Oh! card is just the icing on the cake since it’s one of my favorite series.

Hi everyone! many of you may know Maplestar, she's an excellent artist who makes spicy videos. She's currently running a poll to decide which other couple will get a video and Ichiruki is participating!

I encourage those of you who can afford it to vote for ichiruki. To vote, you'll need to subscribe to Maplestar's patre0n; the $10 subscription will grant you access to vote.

Ichiruki is currently winning, but only by a very small margin. The poll will be open for one month.

While it has its flaws, I enjoyed the actors who played Ichigo and Rukia 😁

Sorry about the coffee strains!!

I just watched the Bleach TYBW The Calamity movie and wanna know everyone’s opinions on things. Incoming rant and spoilers below:

Overall, the new movie was excellent with the improved fight scenes, especially with Uryu vs Jugram. Urahara's had a lot of time to shine, which I loved to see. Ichigo's fight with Yhwach has been extended too.

Kubo added a bunch of Orihime scenes, including the Ichihime ones, to flesh out the anime. While I'm not surprised given the direction of the previous cours, it’s honestly disappointing from a narrative standpoint.

For example, the new scenes include Ichigo properly carrying Orihime away from the falling statues, compared to the manga version where he pulls her out of the way. Another involves Orihime comparing Ichigo to a Flame Lily in a random flashback. Like sure I ship Ichiruki but half the time I was thinking "Are these scenes really necessary?"

I respect that Kubo's putting in hard work with improving TYBW but it's pretty obvious that he's lowkey overcorrecting and almost forcing fans to like/validate Ichihime. And its especially cuz they know Ichigo and Rukia have better chemistry! I will be honest if Rukia were present in these scenes, she would INSTANTLY overshadow the Orihime scenes. That's precisely why Kubo didn't have Ichigo and Rukia interact or fight together against Yhwach.

They have also edited Urahara's infamous dialogue where he says "Sorry to leave the rest of this up to you.. Kurosaki San... Kuchiki San..." and added an extra "everyone" at the end of it in the movie (I believe I saw a post on this). Perhaps she might have a role, but i'm really not sure.

I would have posted this on the main Bleach subreddit, but I know I will get shit on by fans. This is much more of a safe space so I will post it here.

Ichigo and Rukia are taking the two top spots so that’s expected.

Rangiku was a lot funnier than I remembered. It was a toss-up between her and Ikkaku.

Grammy almost made my favorite Sternritter but Bambietta managed to beat him.

I have a soft spot for Shinji since the beginning parts of the Arrancar Saga were so good.

This was fun to make!
