No one deserves anyone and I'd rather you make epilogues to actual character stories than this, but it's not like Bleach was ever gonna have a satisfying ending so lol.

Honestly it's really weird Bleach has like a 10 years later epilogue anyway, because it's not as if the series ever had much emphasis on the future or character's actually changing. Like not a single main character actually had a goal or dream or anything. So it's not as if a skip to the future brings any closure on them.

It just confirms to me that Kubo had no plans about the ending and just went with the most generic epilogue he could think of.

Honestly I can't think of a more suitable ending for what Bleach became

Also lmao at the ending focusing on characters Kubo tossed under a bus for the loving Shinigami a decade ago

RIP Bleach, much like Ichigo you became a ghost long before you actually died, thank you for the good times

The only satisfying thing about the ending is Rukia becoming a captain, I guess. I mean she's the only character I still care about who's been in a decent number of chapters, which is a dumb metric to use I suppose.

she had a bankai and there were lots of openings, so i dunno why she only became one just now. the way they initially explained it, anyone with a bankai could become a captain if there was a spot free, and if not they could defeat one of the sitting captains. but oh, wonder of wonders, kubo was inconsistent with stuff he wrote years ago.

The 10 years later thing only matters for the humans because the SS part of the epilogue could've happened a week after the war and not a thing would've needed to be changed.

Look all of the positions were filled up and she was already in Ukitake's spot, it takes time to file the paperwork out for this and Kyoraku'll be damned if he's filing paperwork

unlike ichigo, ishida actually noticed that orihime was an attractive girl. it never even reached the extent of a crush because kubo doesn't write romance, but it was there.

btw that Bleach live action movie is a Japanese production with that dude who made the Gantz live action stuff.

Which is hilarious because the reception to this ending is probably going to be really bad in Japan so I wonder how they are going to try to sell a movie in 2 years.

actually he isn't, Rukia had the qualifications to be promoted for a long time but byakuya had been playing politics and keeping her down to "protect" her (except grunts are pretty much the only people ever in danger)

she had the qualifications to become a lieutenant for ages, but that is entirely different from her becoming a captain when she met the requirements

Woah woah, this isn't some moderately budgeted hollywood b-movie we're talking about here, this is a Japanese production which means it'll be out by next spring at the latest.

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.

Nah, Seinfeld is still really funny and anyone who doesn't think that has no taste.

Now if you'll excuse me I have to go back to waiting for the last chapter of Bleach to come out so I can read it and go back to pretending I like good things.
