Black Clover is bog-standard Shonen, but has a wonderful interplay between characters and a marvelous sense of humour. Exactly like Bleach before all went to poo poo.

Instead of this final arc, it might just have been better to let Aizen escape and have him hide all over the world. Cowboy Shinigami. Fencer Shinigami. Knight Shinigami. Creepy, scythe-wielding Skeleton Shinigami. Tribal Shinigami. That stuff could write itself. Where in the World is Aizen [I've forgotten his full name]?

Stark was a cowboy and everyone hated him.

It was bad at first but now it is good bad. The liberties the scanlators take with the translation make it better.

I would give anything for the inevitable anime to get a dub that follows the liberal fan translations over standard dry localization.

Good to know that the true protagonist has not been forgotten *sniff*


The lack of a Shinigami World Tour might just be the biggest missed opportunity in the whole manga. I mean, why write a story about dudes defending the very fabric of creation, the eternal cycle of life and death, if you can't even be arsed to at least mention how this whole cosmology is supposed to work in other countries?

Instead of this final arc, it might just have been better to let Aizen escape and have him hide all over the world. Cowboy Shinigami. Fencer Shinigami. Knight Shinigami. Creepy, scythe-wielding Skeleton Shinigami. Tribal Shinigami. That stuff could write itself. Where in the World is Aizen [I've forgotten his full name]?

but anyway, not this poo poo again. there was no wider afterlife. there wasn't even another sword ghost stronghold in the infinite slum town afterlife, despite it being an infinite plain. but even if kubo had changed his garbage setting to acknowledge that there is sentient life outside of japan, it still would have been him writing it. so, as soon as the first new vaguely racist ethnic-themed magic ghosts were introduced, it would have immediately kicked off a years long arc with a pointlessly overpowered villain.

To be fair, when they first talked they said they didn't know which one was the original form, so he could have looked like lillynette. But then he went on to say that they probably looked like neither.

I read that spoiler about Chad and now am going to have to avoid anything else until the release, because I can tell this poo poo is just going to be amazing. I hope they don't resolve any of the lingering plot points, just give me nothing Kubo. Give me the worst ending in Shonen Jump history, become a legend that other manga writers whisper to their assistants about in the dark of night. It's what we deserve for reading your crap every week for all these years.

Abarai Ichika has to be the most fanfic name ever. Were this not Tite Kubo, who has proven time and time again to be a complete idiot, I would totally believe the theory that the author died on the tsunami/earthquake 2-3 years ago and Shounen has just been publishing some random nerd's fanfic.

I'm so happy with this ending.

For years when somebody said "crappy manga/anime ending" the first thing to pop into people's mind was Evangelion, which was totally unfair because Evangelion was good for the most part.

Now Bleach has taken away that title.

Forever.

Kubo I trusted you, I thought you were going to take the good path, but no, you always choose tits over real love

Those last five words will be my band's name :allears:

I can’t believe Kubo pulled a Kishi on us… Why, WHY did he tease IchiRuki so much (one of the many examples being this HONEYMOON spread) if he makes it IchiHime in the end.

I don’t hate IchiHime, its shippers or anything, everyone can ship and like what they want. It’s just that it hurts SO MUCH to be betrayed by an author when he has given you lots and lots of legit hints pointing towards this really special relationship and then everything takes a complete 180 in the last chapters, the characters that used to share this special bond don’t even talk again, turn around, fcuk someone else, have babies and start acting completely OOC.

IchiRuki and/or NaruSaku shippers, we were not wrong. We just got teased, given false hope and betrayed by the authors of the mangas we loved. And it hurts. But we were and are NOT wrong or delusional to believe in these pairings.

Thanks for lots of wasted time believing you were actually capable authors, scumbags.

You don't count as a real cowboy in an anime or manga unless you're wearing a cowboy hat, and probably also have a stars-and-stripes motif just to make sure.

Very likely, but at least it would make the setting feel less claustrophobic. It's pretty fitting that the Bleach musicals are fairly popular, cause the manga itself almost feels like it takes place on a stage.

Feel free to gripe about bad shonen in the dbz thread.

Watching bleach end is a sign that I'm growing older. I don't know if I'll even follow one piece as the latest arc is a rehash of the last one.

why would we gripe about bad shounen in another thread? this thread is dedicated to a bad shounen manga with no content, making it the ideal location for such discussions.

DBZ is the Seinfeld of shounen.

If you didn't read/watch it before it's nearly impossible to go back to it because everything it inspired cannibalized it to the extent that the original is bland and uninteresting.

Pretty much. Before Dragon Ball everyone was ripping off Fist of the North Star, then here comes Toriyama who makes a much more lighthearted series with a protagonist who is borderline retarded.

Groundbreaking.
