Bleach Chapter 502 Discussion

Death is not something epic, character do not have to be a savior or be surrounded by some loldrama before they die for it to hold importance.

Kubo could have made it in a way so that Rukia get to Byakuya and they have a little nice last chat about how he really loved her, etc. before dying with a lot of drama and people would have come crying in this thread while it would have been ridiculously stupid.



I'm actually impressed that Kenpachi could defeat a steinritter since if we take his spec from the last time we've seen him fight, he wouldn't have been able to even scratch one.

That Kenpachi, which fought all his life, would coincidentally (and for no reason at all) be able to get at least twice as strong as he was before, I do not approve at all.

People aren't Ichigo. Ichigo got a very unusual growth rate, for other shinigami to train with an Ichigo-like growth, I think it's weird.

If Kubo actually kill off a good chunk of old characters during this battle,then it will reassure my feeling of this battle in the Soul Society is really just the prologue to the rest of this arc.



He's killing off the old that got plenty of screen time & development to replacing them with the new & give old characters that didn't get enough screen time or development before more screen time &/or development now.If this is what Kubo's planning,then I'm perfectly content with that. Ha ha,planning & Kubo in the same sentence without a not,HA!

So how stupid is Renji? anyone? anyone?



Byakuya.... Damn :C



Lets go KENNY FTW!

Who care about cocky bastard Byakuya.The real boss is here Kenpachi if he dies i will drop this manga.And who said that in Bleach no one dies?

O_O wait... theres still that sliver of chance that we might see yachiru battle so BAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTLE ON!!!

He's talking about War. How many people died in Naruto 4th war thats been going on for over a year? Not a single ally and killing zombies do not count.

Well. Last time i checked 40'000 died in fourth ninja war, Including  
Samui and Atsui, who were known characters from Cloud Village. but Yeah no one popular character died from Leaf in this war and it's not like Bleach killed anyone either, unless they get officially confirmation. if you're following discussion, you should know by now that same thing happened to Rukia and Chad in hueco mundo.

40,000 random unknown ninja died... big deal. But yah, a few fairly decent characters have died in naruto, as for samui and atsui, they have just been sealed, I'm sure the author will pull something out of the hat and bring them back..

You should check the context. He said. "Not a single ally died".. yeah. there are 40'000 died, if they're not known characters, that's different matter. Also Kishi DOES kill his characters, so it's not confirmed Samui and Atsui will be back + war is still ongoing. Who knows maybe he have a plan to do something in the end.

I better not see any more complains that nobody important dies in bleach?Now we have Kira and Byakuya and I'm sure there's more to come.Also there was always something I never understood about bleach.The Soul Society is the bleach universe version of heaven whee you go when you die right?so when the captains die wtf happens to them?They get reincarnated and return to the human world as a new life like any other soul who lives in SS, it's mentioned in an official character book.



Wasn't this also stated by the Aizen look-a-like #2 a few chapters ago.Well I can't really remember, I've marathoned the first 20 chapter about 3 weeks ago and immediately after that read some stuff in wikia (there are lots of stuff there from the Character Books), so I can't remember the source exactly.

Yup, Kubo is ill, he can't draw for the time being and Bleach is going to return on August 20.



SourceThe issue is gonna be on sale on August 20, a Monday, but from what I know the RAWs are normally out before that, on a Wednesday, an issue is leaked or something, so in issue 38's case it's 15 August.
