Bleach Anime Preview

Thats kind of the point.

It should go.

Ginjo bad.
Ginjo good, Tsuki bad.
Ginjo maybe bad, Tsuki bad.
Ginjo good, Tsuki bad.
HOLY SHIT THEY WERE WORKIN' TOGETHER!

We skipped to the last step.

The animators are probably under the impression that Viewers Are Morons.

They'd be half right.

Just read Bleach.

What the fuck just happened?

There seems to have been a "badguys die; flashback" moment, followed by some philosophical mumbo about the FBers, then Rukia beats Riruka in the form of a teddy bear, then Riruka pops her out, which surprises her long enough to get falcon punched by... something.

All I saw was Riruka grabbing Rukia's boob.

What boob?

Seriously, though, I'm mainly confused on 3 points:

1. I do recall that Riruka sneezed earlier to release Ichigo from her power, but what confuses me is that it looks like Riruka MADE herself sneeze here, so why is she surprised?

2. I have no idea what the fuck happened at the end. Did she just seal Rukia away again? If so, Rukia should be re-demoted. Seriously, talk about Too Dumb To Live.

3. What the Hell was up with Giriko's whole story? Did he hate his wife, or something? How did he figure out he could kill people by looking at them?

Giriko is a sociopath.

It would seem Bleach is doing pretty well.

Not a Fallen Creator in sight here.

Riruka isn't surprised, Rukia is. The sequence of events is sneeze, out of stuffed bear, "WTF I'm not a stuffed-- OH SHIT!", Riruka punching Rukia. It was Riruka's plan, she wasn't surprised.

Rukia didn't expect to be poofed back into human form, and punched as soon as it happened, hardly her fault.

As for Giriko, yes, he seems to have been a total loon.

Kubo is something else entirely. Is there a Trope for people trying to force their Hate Dumb on someone en masse? He's that.

Also, Tsukishima went down like a bitch.

What is he trying to force on the readers?

Also, Tsukishima got a hole blown threw him. That is kind of cool. He also showed evidence that the "ultimate cutting edge" or whatever they called it, of his sword is true, given that he sliced Byakuya's zan clean in half.

Bah, people have been doing that since the series began.

Also, that is not what I said. What I said was that people are always trying to shoehorn Kubo into negative Tropes. Troll Author, Villain Sue, Fallen Author, etc. And it is my impression that it's mostly a vocal minority of the fandom. Bleach isn't exactly starving for ratings, after all.

Bump because I forgot to say something. Okay, here's a little theory of mine:

Premise 1: One aspect of Riruka's power is to "admit" souls into items she finds cute. Fact.
Premise 2: This can include herself. No real reason to suspect it can't, so probably.
Premise 3: She thinks Rukia is cute. Unknown. But if Premise 3 is true, then...
Conclusion: She put her own soul inside of Rukia.

That was my thought exactly.

Premise three implies Les Yay, so I'm all for it.

It was already implied with Orihime.

What I want to know is, if this is true, are we going to see Rukia's Inner World? Can she use Rukia's powers?

Not really. They simply shared some food.

I doubt that.

There was a cover of them hugging or some shit.

Also, why not?

Don't remember it. Also, pretty sure Orihime and Rukia hugged too.

I just doubt it.

Implying LesYay isn't implied all over the goddamn place, especially with regards to Orihime.

Tatsuki legitimately, and the redhead with glasses likes her, but it is pretty apparent the feelings are not mutual.

I'd be more convinced it's not mutual if there was any evidence that Orihime knew what lesbianism even was.

Next time we see that lesbian bit again Orihime angrily shouts, "For the last time, I'm not gay!"

...Tatsuki is crying in a corner somewhere.

Better, she announces that no one in the manga is gay, & fanboys & fangirls everywhere cry angry tears.
