Really True Insight, It'll Be Intriguing If The Final Chapter Gets Adapted And People See The Full-circle

Really true insight, it'll be intriguing if the final chapter gets adapted and people see the full-circle of Aizen's journey to this realization.

Honestly, Bleach is a series that took time for me to understand it's core message on the importance of connections with those who make your life meaningful, especially when that message isn't in your face like other shonen.

Looking at Aizen's actions through that lens makes me think "Aizen doesn't need a backstory to make you feel sorry for him" because his very nature is so devoid of what makes us human no matter how we change as people. So many of Bleach's characters have connections they make with each other and wouldn't be who they are without their friends and adversaries.

It always surprises me when Aizen is mostly perceived as this genius-evil-mastermind like oh he is so crazy, who knows what he'll do next!! (and he is, to a certain extent, don't get me wrong) but the silent victory has Ichigo acknowledge him as a sympathetic but ultimately misguided man who sacrificed everything for godhood only to be reduced to....utter loneliness. And I find that interesting!

Of course, this isn't a Conclusive Take (tm) as Urahara's silence definitely leaves a lot of what Aizen did as up to interpretation, but the loneliness of godhood is definitely an interesting theme, especially when you consider how often it occurs in literature, where the trope of the 'God' character playing around with lives due to his own boredom is so common (see: Frankenstein, all of Greek mythology, etc etc). It isn't a stretch to say Ichigo, the Arrancar, the Vizards, the Hogyoku and even Urahara were all just an experiment to him – pawns he played with to ease his own boredom. It isn't exactly that he's evil...per se. It's that he's innately unable to relate to the lives and struggles of mortal beings, because his quest for more power/scientific discovery/pushing the limitations of nature render him devoid of empathy. The intent is not malicious, it's just...curiosity. Which makes him 10× more creepy, but ultimately not one- dimensional.

I think I read somewhere that people found Aizen to be out-of-character here in his dialogue to Yhwach in 686, but I think this is his character arc coming to a close. When he says 'people,' I think what he really means is himself and how he understands it now, now that he himself isn't as invincible as he once strived to be. When you try to alter the cycle of life, when you try to exist beyond social/existential constructs, it's ultimately a very lonely and isolating existence, and that sometimes the status quo is just a means to an end of connecting with other people (ghosts, whatever) and living in social harmony.

Child Of DemeterCongratulations And Welcome To Cabin 4! You Are A Demigod Child Of Demeter, Goddess Of

Child of Demeter Congratulations and welcome to cabin 4! You are a demigod child of Demeter, goddess of the harvest and agriculture, presiding over crops, grains, food, and the fertility of the earth. As such you have a natural inclination toward the culinary arts and possess the ability to control plants, sense them, and make them grow faster. Additionally, but in rare cases, you might be able to teleport through plants and summon Karpoi and Satyrs to your aid. Something you can look forward to is working on the strawberry fields alongside cabin 12 and enjoying the first ripe strawberries.

Not bad, the quiz had some fun questions. I'll tag my mutuals if they want to try it out.

child of zeus Congratulations and welcome to cabin 1! You are a demigod child of Zeus, the king of the gods and ruler of the sky. Aside from being more likely to die before the 6th grade, you possess the ability to summon storms and rain clouds and perhaps even shoot lightning and electricity! Children of Zeus have enhanced leadership qualities and naturally assume positions of responsibility in whatever group they are in. Much rests upon your shoulders!

Actually i was talking about hueco mundo

But I understand not telling them because tatsuki before this wasn’t aware of hollows or the soul society so

Yeah right after I posted that answer, I wondered if you were talking about the other incident since that one is more talked about. My bad.

Ok, I reread that moment and Orihime said she wanted to say goodbyes to the others, but chose Ichigo. She’s a teenager who is about to taken to a place full of Arcancar and isn’t certain if she’ll see her friends again, choosing her crush over Tatsuki doesn’t make her a bad person.

The bottom line of it is her wanting to make sure she doesn’t regret not being clear about how she feels while she was on good terms with the rest hence the “goodbye, halcyon days”. Tatsuki would somewhat wanted Orihime to say goodbye to her but can understand why she chose Ichigo. Also like from my last post, telling Tatsuki would probably get her involved which Orihime is completely against considering how much she cares about her friends.

Also can we appreciate the fact that Kazui actually knows about shinigami (and probably about the Soul Society, Hollows, etc..) because Ichigo and Orihime took the time to tell him about everything. Like…Ichigo was never told about his heritage, and ended up in the situation with Grand Fisher when he was younger because no one ever told him what hollows were. 

But with Kazui it will never be like that, because Ichigo and Orihime want to keep their precious son safe, and that involves letting him know about the world around him.  

Like…Imagine Kazui knows about Soul Society and Hueco Mundo because he’s heard hundreds of stories from his parents about it. Ichigo’s probably told him several times about his first meeting with Rukia, his fight with Kenpachi, how hard he fought to keep Orihime safe. And Orihime probably told Kazui about how she awakened her powers, her healing everybody, her confession to Ichigo. 

And Kazui knowing he’ll always be safe and happy because of how strong, courageous, and loving his parents are.

I don’t know which volume this poem is from, it still puts in words the dynamics of Ichigo’s and Uryu’s unique bond. Especially in TYBW where you have Ichigo stepping into a more dominant role to stop Yhwach, while Uryu submits himself to Yhwach for his own plan. Hope there’s more parallels about these two in the next 2 Cours.
