Ichigo has never been one to want to kill someone, infact I'm pretty sure outside of fillers the only person he has sort of directly killed was Kugo, and with a right reason to be honest, he wasn't a splendid person. And when "he" inadvertently killed Ulquiorra he didn't seem massively happy about it, a usually recurring theme in most Anime's where the protagonist is usually pure of heart and is never fond of killing someone. Otherwise whats the difference between them and villains?
Ichigo is not the kind of person to kill people. That's just not his character. It goes against his principles to kill anyone, including enemies. Although, Ginjo is an exception. Ichigo was really pissed that one time.
Doesn't make it any less retarded. That shounen cliche is just exploited too much, it doesn't make sense to fight someone and tell them to dodge your attacks. What is even the point. Just stay still and let them beat you up.

She DID dodge, but at the very last second, and so only lost her arm. I'm not sure if it's true, but it WOULD make sense, since both Ichigo's words and what ended up happening to Candice's body after avoiding most of the attack seem to imply that Candice would have been WRECKED had she not dodged.
There's nothing to indicate that she dodged, even more - it looks like she is right in the middle of the attack.
And the result?
A CLEANLY cut off arm. Just look at it:

She doesn't even look affected by that attack other than the arm, her clothes intact, no bruises/scars/burns, nothing (and it's clearly an explosion, there is smoke around it during the attack, and then behind her after the attack.
There's no arguing here, it's simply retarded.
The retarded one is your since your complain about the trench that have exits in shounen for a very long time.
Wow, so much for a retort.
The fact that such cliches exist in shounens doesn't mean that you have to use them in every single fucking chapter. No other shounen I know resorts to this shit with such intensity as Bleach does. That's one...
And two, it's just a stupid thing to say. If I criticize a horror movie for using the same horror cliches in every scene, does it make my criticism any less correct and just? Think about it. The demographic has nothing to do with it, you can make a good shounen without repeating same shit all the time. You just need to be a good story teller, not a fashion designer. Sorry Kubo, but stick to the clothes.
The only redeeming quality about Bleach at this time is its character designs. Oh, and the anime music, but that one is on hold for now, so...
