A remake of Uryuu's coronation that got side-tracked by me wanting to use the micropen. It's more of an experiment than what I had in mind for it. I could only doodle this month and wasn't meant for sharing tbh. I may have deleted the old watercolor version.
This is so wholesome!!

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.

Hello, thank you for the likes and your kindness. ^^
You're welcome! The same goes for you, thanks for liking my old posts!
Isshin reacting to all of the insanity during TYBW would be the funniest shit.
As requested by anon. :)
Hitsugaya and Matsumoto were recently turned into zombies, because that is a thing that happens in Bleach now. But what if their old captain, Isshin, finally returned to Soul Society and saw them as zombies? What sorts of things might he say?
1. “T-Toshiro! Why are you wearing a Quincy uniform??”
2. “I know my absence probably left you with abandonment issues, but Yhwach is not your new dad!”
3. “I know his facial hair is magnificent, but even so!”
4. “Rangiku has abandonment issues too, and you don’t see HER joining the Quincy!”
5. “I mean, you haven’t joined the Quincy, have you, Rangiku?”
6. “…….or don’t answer me. That’s okay. It’s cool. I know you’re probably mad.”
7. “Just - how could you join the Quincy, Toshiro????”
8. “Not that I hate the Quincy. My wife was a Quincy. But there’s Quincy, and then there’s Quincy, if you know what I mean.”
9. “Also, why are you so…….gray?”
10. “For that matter, why is Matsumoto so gray?”
11. “And why are you both staring at me with blank lifeless eyes?”
12. “Also, why haven’t either of you reacted at all to my sudden appearance, even though you must have been wondering for like twenty years where I was and what happened to me?”
13. “Also why aren’t you blinking?”
14. “Wait a second………….are you guys zombies?”
15. “Oh my fucking god you guys are ZOMBIES!”
16. “I leave for twenty years, and you BOTH get turned into ZOMBIES?!?”
17. “Toshiro, you’re supposed to be smarter than that! Rangiku, you’re supposed to be WAY more sensible than that!”
18. “Love the new hair though, guys. Seriously. Great look for both of you.”
19. “So, uh, I guess this means no big reunion, huh?”
20. “I was gonna say how proud I was of both of you, and how sorry I was for the way I left, and I was going to blow both of your minds with the news that I’m Ichigo’s dad! That’s right - I raised the kid who keeps saving the universe!”
21. “But now it just seems so….pointless. Can you guys even hear me?”
22. “Grunt if you can hear me.”
23. “Grunt if you can’t hear me?”
24. “Man. I can’t tell if you guys aren’t talking ‘cause you’re just that mad, or if it’s the zombie thing.”
25. “I guess I shoulda talked to you guys in the world of the living, huh?”
26. “Back before you were zombies.”
27. “That would have meant Ichigo finding some things out earlier, but then, maybe that would have helped him.”
28. “I’m just…….I’m really sorry.”
29. “…”
30. “I really gotta stop waiting so long to talk to people!”
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.
I found someone calling orihime a bad person for not telling tatsuki about where she was going
I swear these get more desperate
Like right before she and the gang decided to go to Soul Society to save Rukia?
Because I could see how one could feel for Tatsuki whose unfortunately kept in the dark at that point, and what repercussions would occur if Orihime died without Tatsuki knowing, but it's pointless to badmouth Orihime for that.
Like there's an afterlife of swordsmen who aren't afraid to kill you if you and your friends decide to go into their domain to rescue a prisoner , and you want to keep your best friend away from the crazy thing you're about to do which is very protective of Orihime to do for Tatsuki.
Kubo's end of chapter illustrations and chapter titles depict Tatsuki as a dragon, which suits her nature of wanting to take action especially if she knew what Orihime was getting herself into. Btw, Tatsuki had a broken arm and no notable powers before the Soul Society arc, but she would still try to go with Orihime if she knew.
But I guess some people wouldn't understand wanting to keep your friend away from dangerous situations huh? On another note, I do wish she told Tatsuki about everything after they came back from Soul Society, considering how calm things were before Yammy and Ulquiorra showed up
Thanks for liking my response to saitouh assuming you remember she hates orihime because she couldn’t fulfill her promises how would you have responded
Thanks for asking this! I wasn't expecting this to be my first ask to answer.
First off, the whole thing on responding to someone whose really adamant on their opinions is something I preferably wouldn't want to do, since it usually leads to back and forth arguing. It's just something I got tired of since there wouldn't be a clear resolution to it.
However, if I did respond to them, I would point out many characters in Bleach and in fiction don't really fulfill their promises due to outside factors or their own flaws so why hate Orihime for not being able to fulfill her promises? I would either blame the plot or Kubo since he wanted things to escalate and have Orihime at a breaking point of where she feels powerless.
There was also incorrect claims Saitouh made like Orihime barely knowing Ichigo which isn't true? Before he became a shinigami, he and Orihime were on friendly terms and then in Orihime's manga introduction, she and Tatsuki talk about Ichigo's surface personality.
So I would point out the flaws in their reasons on why they hate Orihime and highlight the main points on Orihime's character that Saitouh didn't get. I don't really know Saitouh that much so I wouldn't really focus on personal jabs on them since that doesn't really help in getting my point across. That's basically how I would respond.
Hope that helps!
