Bleach Returns 2024 Day 1: Fav Character, Fav Division, Save the One Save the All

Toshiro Hitsugaya has always been a favourite character of mine.

This drawing is connected to my fanfiction story, Ice Changes the Story, where Toshiro travels back in time. I plan to do this event connecting to my story au. I do hope you enjoy

Bleach Returns 2024 Day 2: Hunter/Missing Scene/Unlikey Pairs.

In my Ice Changes the Story, Toshiro is part of the Onmitsukido. Toshiro is on a mission as the lieutenant, hunting down his targets.

Bleach Returns 2024 Day 3: Shikai/Fav Friendship/Black Hole Disco

In the time travel story, Toshiro is good friends with Yoruichi's and Byakuya's fathers. He went to the academy with them and was a part of both of their divisions at one time: Toshiro being the former third seat of the sixth division under Ginrei Kuchiki, and Toshiro being the former lieutenant of the second division under Yusuke Shihouin.

Sojun is a canonical character, only shown in a character database book many years ago.

Yusuke is my OC, one I made for my story. Yes he was inspired by Chika's design. Leave me alone, I like Chika's design.

Bleach Returns 2024 Day 4: Halloween/Volume Cover/Comforts

Happy Early Halloween everyone!!

I wanted to draw Zombie Toshiro after my last drawing of Zombie Toshiro. So I redrawn Zombie Toshiro but made him more decay.

Bleach Returns 2024 Day 5: Cup Half Empty, Cup Half full/Recognising Reiatsu/Black and Blue

Toshiro is drinking sake in a bar with Yusuke, Sojun, Kyoraku and Ukitake when he sensed a recognisable reiatsu, which was Aizen. Zombie Toshiro had to tell him to calm down as his zombie side had began to notice Toshiro's slowly growing rage.

Also, it's my BIRTHDAY!!! I'm happy to be able to participate in a Bleach event on my birthday!!

Bleach Returns 2024 Day 6: Six moments that a character holds dear / Defeated / In Another Life

In this life, Toshiro is a traitor and joined the Sternritters. He backstabs the Soul Reapers and stands by the Quincies.

Spoilers for the end of the TYBW manga! If you’re only watching the anime, this will be in like the last two episodes of the whole show, so look away!

This is gonna sound like me being biased again (and I definitely am, don’t get me wrong) but I think I have a universally true argument here.

Renji was a weird choice to have go with Ichigo to the last clash with Yhwach.

To be clear, I’m very fond of Renji. I also think the conversation he and Ichigo have on their way there was a fantastic moment in their friendship, and want to keep it intact as much as possible. It’s just that, when I think of the magnitude of this particular moment, the literal last battle at the end of the series, it just feels odd for Renji of all his friends to have this pretty prominent spot.

Who is Ichigo teaming up with here? Aizen, the major antagonist for basically half the series. Uryu, the enemy-turned-friendly rival-turned-fake enemy-turned-genuine ally just acting as an infiltrator all along because he’s got roots in this battle. And… Renji. The Guy.

Like seriously, I’m trying to pinpoint exactly what narrative function Renji’s presence here serves, and for every one I can find, there’s just someone who does a better job? Like, okay, say he’s serving as the presence of a Soul Reaper. Except Rukia would also do that, down to the rank they have, and given her meeting Ichigo is how the series began, it would additionally be a natural bookend for her to be fighting alongside him at the end. (And obviously I am deliberately ignoring bullshit like power levels or whatever, because of the four in this alliance Ichigo’s ridealong contributes little more than a distraction while Aizen tanks the damage, Uryu fires the arrow, and Ichigo makes the cut.)

Rukia is also the member of his friend group Ichigo probably interacts with the least in this whole arc who isn’t Uryu Away For Plot Reasons Ishida (or maybe Chad, who I’ll talk about in a moment too), whereas he and Renji go through a chunk of the Royal Palace stuff together. So it seems like that final battle would be the chance to actually give her a meaningful interaction with him as, again, a mirror to the start of the series.

(Disclaimer: I don’t mean this in a shipping sense in any way, shape, or form, though you can certainly take it as you like. That’s not the only way their bond can be relevant, though. My point is simply that Rukia has more narrative importance to Bleach itself than Renji does, compared to how little time she spends interacting with the series’ protagonist in the final arc compared to him.)

So as far as all of that stuff is concerned, Rukia carries more weight, but let’s say Renji was chosen as Ichigo’s closest guy friend or something along those lines. Um. Chad??? My beloved Yasutora Sado??? Like of course Kubo seems allergic to giving Chad anything significant to do at any point past his introduction, but come on! He’s supposed to be Ichigo’s best friend! Again, I’m ignoring power levels. Maybe the combination of Aizen and Yhwach’s presence would’ve been too much for him to withstand given Fullbringer scale, but I still think he’d make more narrative sense than Renji, and that should be what matters more.

Friendly rival? Well that’s Uryu who is already there, and has a way larger stake in this than anyone in Ichigo’s friend group regardless. Less that he doesn’t meet the criteria if we can’t count Uryu, choosing Renji for this reason would just be doubling down on the same thing.

You could also argue Orihime should’ve been the one, as the one Ichigo eventually ends up with (although she at least was with him at the fight just before this, so it being someone else this time doesn’t bother me). And Renji is just, not that!

Renji goes with Ichigo because it’s in character for him, and I don’t disagree with that by any means. But this is the conclusion of the entire 74-volume narrative and I’m struggling to explain why he specifically is the one chosen by Kubo to be a part of this battle if anyone had to be at all. It’s like he went out of his way to choose the least impactful character possible to fulfill this role.

So okay, Kubo, I can play hardball. You want somebody who isn’t Rukia, Chad, or Orihime? I can do that. I’ll even give you someone who’s already right there so you don’t have to make them come running up at the last moment!

You know who should’ve gone with Ichigo to that very last confrontation? Kugo Ginjo, obviously!

Don’t leave, hold on, let me explain myself.

First is the kind of obvious thing, which is that while it was on a smaller scale than they were, Ginjo was an arc villain just as much as Aizen and Yhwach were. He’s the mastermind and the climactic battle of The Lost Agent. So wouldn’t it be fun if Ichigo had the help of the first two arc villains in defeating the third?

The quartet of Ichigo, Kugo, Aizen, and Yhwach is also interesting because they all have connections to the Reio in some form, being either candidates for the role inherently, or having attempted to become or usurp him. There’s really no one else who approaches this (barring Urahara, for the hogyoku).

But wait, you may be saying, why would Ginjo fight on the side of Shinigami if his whole thing is that he hates them? To which I say—he wouldn’t! But I think he would be willing to fight to help Ichigo. Maybe not for everything ever, but maybe for the time where if Ichigo loses, everything will very clearly fall apart, including for the people he obviously still cares about in Xcution. (Also, does he know about Soul King stuff at this point, including that the both of them are candidates to replace it? Preventing that being necessary for both their sakes might be good.)

Not to mention, this would be the first time Ichigo and Kugo can fight together consciously as Deputies. It would give us a more concrete picture of how they feel about one another now that the Lost Agent conflict is over, seeing as this gets very little resolution on either side—and give Ichigo back what it was that Kugo had almost given him during that arc, a “big brother” figure he can rely on in a desperate situation, instead of having to be that figure himself.

Plus… fixing Ichigo’s sword was really kind of just Tsukishima’s repayment, wasn’t it? Ginjo shows up and says four lines, (and probably a fifth on the way there that was “Tsukishima do the thing”) and that’s what exactly? Is that supposed to make up for the extremely personal betrayal? Is that a sufficient expression of gratitude for the respect of taking his body back from the Court Guards’ grasp? He still had to say something about paying Ichigo back because debt’s about all the obligation Tsukishima would ever respond to, but what’s his contribution other than holding that “leash”?

Also for the three of them being revealed alive like a hundred chapters ago, that sure is a whole lot of no payoff. Like for Tsukishima it’s great payoff, but for Ginjo? What was the point of the training they all did with Ganju? Was it really about Ganju getting stronger? And we never got an answer why Kukaku took them in in the first place, could that really have just been chance?

If I want to put on my conspiracy cap—I half suspect Ginjo was meant to go from the time of their reappearance, and more of his backstory was supposed to come to light/he was supposed to get some additional development. But as Kubo’s health deteriorated and he got toward the home stretch, just like it would’ve been difficult to give Rukia the proper due if she’d gone, it became too much for him to do Ginjo justice, or maybe to set up for his role in CFYOW, so he decided to not do it altogether, rather than half-ass it. (This is what I tell myself, anyway). He already has a completely justifiable reason to show up at the last minute with the need for Tsukishima’s ability. He’s been training, supposedly. He owes Ichigo something and acknowledges it. He’s thematically fitting, he’s been absent for so much time after being teased, we know he was doing something because he went looking for Ukitake, it really just makes too much sense.

I doubt Kubo is planning any out-and-out rewrites of anything significant as the anime proceeds, but if he were to tweak the ending at all, I certainly think this would be reasonable.

Anyway, we’ll see what part 2 brings. CFYOW content is getting teased for sure, so who knows what’s in store!

I was looking for one like this with Mayuri. I couldn't find it, so I made this wallpaper myself.

Я искал такой с Маюри. Я не смог их найти, поэтому сделал эти обои сам.

I love how instead of actually watching all of TYBW arc, I just watch the Hitsugaya scenes. Like did I skip through episode 22 for his 2 seconds of screen time? Yes. Yes I did.

Have I seen episode 23 four times? Yes.

Are my friends incredibly tired of hearing about Toshiro? Maybe.

I care?

NOPE! BACK ON MY BS BBY!

BANKAI- HAKKA NO TOGAME ❄️

Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen - Ketsubetsu-tan E6

Don't ask me why but THE ASAUCHI LOOK SO CUTEE!! A PATOOTIE!! I KNOW I SOUND WEIRD BUT LOOK AT HIM, SITTING AT THE SIDELINES DOING NOTHING BUT BEING CUTE! Bonus:

they look so cute 😭

Now I can see why JJK inspired by Bleach. I can see some similarities like: Geto cursed manipulation when used, a shape of an opening will come out (In one of his fight with Toji) = Garganta Simple domain = So me no mai, Tsukishiro (Except the ice, only the circle and the stance, if I'm correct.) Domain expansions = Bankai Senbonzakura Kageyoshi (Kuchiki Byakuya), Shatatsu karagara shigaraminotsuji (Senjumaru Shutara), and Minazuki (Unohana Yachiru) (**You may or may not understand why I pick those 3, it's because their bankai uses the whole area or literally envelops the whole screen, so it has quite similarities of Domain expansion and Incomplete Domain of Megumi.) Old men behind the screens. Hollow or "Curse" inside themselves. The Balance between worlds The Hollows or Curses ______________ I might find more than this.

Bleach is such a great escape for JJK (Except for the fullbringer arc but anyways-), away from the cruelty. 🥹
