    Don Kanonji is actually really wholesome

  The Thousand year Blood War is my number one favorite, imo out of the big 3 it's a perfect example how a war arc should be. The Arrancar arc( as a whole+ Hueco Mundo arc) everything from the fights and story telling is really good.
  And it may be an unpopular opinion but the Lost Substitute arc i think is really good to.

    A lot of the critics I have for TYBWA is for it's ending and for the fact that it took Bleach a LOOONG to correct some of it's repeating flaws I had for it

    I liked how Bankai where stolen and how it disabled the characters showing them to actually innovate and become more proficient with their Shikai which maximized their Shikai abilities to a point of rivaling their Bankai in the hands of inexperienced foes

    Important people die and actually stay dead (though I wish Kira had more context instead of a panel and some extra material from another source to explain the situation)

    the conceit that the quincies hid under the Soul Societies nose the whole time

  • Arrancar saga (can’t pick one from it lmao)
  • Soul Society arc
  • Thousand-Year Blood War arc (until the third to the last chapter, cuz that asspull was disappointing. Still liked the arc overall tho, because it gave us some of the best moments in Bleach)

  1) Soul Society Arc:
  Introduction to Soul Society and the Gotei 13. Aizen's fake death and betrayal. Bankai's and Shikai's get introduced.
  2) Arrancar Arc:
  The Espada were a good villain group with interesting powers. Aizen was probably Bleach's best antagonist. Nelliel.
  3) Thousand-Year Blood War Arc (MANGA SPOILERS):
  Many cool Bankai reveals. The quincy's first invasion on soul society was really good. Quincy's had interesting powers, but they didn't feel as fleshed out as the espada were. Ending was rushed, but I still found this arc fun even though it wasn't the best.

  The first 20 episodes where Ichigo is just a soul reaper substitute fighting hollows and rukia is in.a temporary body is the best part of bleach. I didnt care for the rest of bleach as much.

    my favorite part of Bleach I also preferred the early style which had a lot more facial detail with characters

    don't hate the modern art style just prefer the latter that came first

  Substitute Shinigami Arc

  • a nice wholesome start to the series thats more laxadasical as you get acquainted with the towns characters and Ichigo's friends whilst he performs his duties of being a Shinigami and also having individual episodes focused on the main cast like Chad or Orihime or even more lighthearted episodes with Don Kanonji who I honestly like alot

  helps with the introduction of the Soul Societ since you first get to be acquainted with the characters personally before thrusting them into a super intense situation

  Fake Karakura Town Arc

  • Finally enjoyed seeing the Shinigami let loose in an all out fight battle royale style of matchups which albeit can become tedious as most of the fights can feel derivative of each other and deprived of any actual tension when it comes to any cunning or tactical ebb and flow for the fights but nonetheless it's still really cool some highlights where

  • Shunsui + Ukitake and Vizards vs Staark
  • Izuru vs Birdman
  • Shuhei and Komamura vs Tousen
  • All the Captains vs Aizen
  • Barragan vs Hachigen and Soifon

  Soul Society Arc
  - a lot of interpersonal relationship writing between the shinigami was interesting which Kubo wrote really well just with the different relationships each of the squads have with each other or the different officers the mystery itself not being what makes the arc great but how it affects the whole of soul society and upon reread its interesting to see all the gears in Aizen's plan working

  seeing all the different squads working around the clock and the tenseness of Rukia's execution

  Based on enjoyment :

  1. Thousand-Year Blood War Arc
  2. Soul Society Arc
  3. Fullbringer/Lost Agent Arc

  All of them are a 10/10 imo

    KuroGFX4 years ago

    even though I liked how TYBW sort of bit the bullet and Tite Kubo made the scenario way more tense and extreme by killing off Genryusai

    not to mention I thought that one of the subplots of having the Bankai's stolen was a creative idea to try to inject more tension in the combat

    I began to lose engagement around Vol.66 not to mention the ending I unironically liked how Aizen teams up with Ichigo and uses his Kyoka Suigetsu to hypnotize Ywatch but how Ichigo manages to defeat Ywatch who can effectively rewrite his own death.....is beyond me

      it is explained that Ichibei was the one who prevented Old Man Zangetsu from mentioning his true name. And I'm already guessing that most people would write it off as Kubo simply agreeing to the fan's question to make himself seem smart. But you'll soon realize that isn't the case.

      We now move on to the soul society arc when Ichigo is training to attain Bankai. This is where I believe Kubo foreshadowed the entire Zangetsu = Yhwach and the outcome of the final battle of bleach.

      Old man zangetsu (will call him this moving on) fills the battlefield with multiple false Zangetsu blades and hides the real zangetsu amongst them. He then explicitly states to him that only the real zangetsu can defeat him.
      

      Remember, Old Man Zangetsu is Yhwach. In chapter 541, he explains to Ichigo that the only thing he ever lied to him about was his name. Meaning the "me" he was speaking of wasn't Zangetsu. It was Yhwach.

      Then you realize that during the final battle with Yhwach, Ichigo's TRUE BANKAI's casing breaks away, revealing blade much like his original shikai. The same true zangetsu he was supposed to find and defeat OMZ with when he was training for bankai. after all... This is the realization Yhwach makes right before he dies.

  The only real answer to this is: TYBW > Arrancar > Soul Society >= Fullbring

  • 

    KuroGFX4 years ago

    Arrancar was really long though and had a bunch of padded fights if I'm honest one of my biggest problems with Bleach is how it shifted into mainly just back-to-back fights within a lot of the arcs past During and Past Soul Society

• 

  bankainano4 years ago

  In my opinion

  1.- TYBW
  2.- Soul Society
  3- Hueco Mundo / Fake Karakura

  honorable mention: Turns back the pendulum

    not sure why you're here man.

    can you really not enjoy something without stepping on something else to inflate some deluded sense of ego that the things you like have to be better than the things other people enjoy instead of just being neutral to it all?
