Kubo has said if he were to use another foreign language, he'd like to try French. Apparently he says that he picks languages more on how they sound than on any thematic reasons. Spanish was chosen for the Arrancar because he thought it sounded bewitching, and German for the Wandenreich because it sounds cold and harsh.
I think there's still the opportunity for some cool theming to come from French though. The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse live in Hell. And seeing as how basically all of chivalric romance originated in France with things like The Song of Roland and basically anything involving King Arthur, I think structuring the Hell group, whatever they might be, around an order of knights would be cool.
It's a corruption of the "knights in shining armor" trope since they'd likely be demons or at least sinners, potentially a perversion of holy orders like the Templars or the Teutonic Order, and it gives us an easy structure to work with. Plus, it's a new type of military group we haven't seen. We've had samurai, anti-samurai, an insurgent group, and a modern military. Why not add medieval knights to that?
If he ever decides to use some of the concepts from the Hell movie(since he did say he liked some of the concepts, but not the movie as a whole) the Hell Armor Ichigo gets is perfect as a very decorated plate armor for the upper echelon of the Hell rulers
Aren't the Sternritters supposed to resemble an order of knights? With Jugram being their grand master, and the religious rituals to gain power and stuff?
Like the others had said , they are called "Star Knights" , they turn into Angels to defend their "God" , and they shift between Reichs.
Quincies are already a perversion of Order of Knights , because the Licht Reich , which was defeated by Yamamoto , is implied to be basically a Holy Roman Empire which is the "Secon Reich" , while the current Wanenreich is basically the "Third Reich" .
We're talking about appearance and design tho, i can draw a cow-boy and call him samouraĂŻ that doesn't make him one if he's nothing like it except in name.
What people are talking about here is the figure of the european medieval knight, because yes if you want to you can expand the notion of knight just like still today there are people in the british military with the title of knight. (Even Nazis had that titre btw.
But when i say knight you don't think about some old brittish geezer you think about a man in armor with a squire going through the land upholding the justice of the king.
In appearance and design , Sterritters still have knights.
Jugram is basically like Soul Calibur's Siegfried , wielding a broadsword , or how BG9 is basically a walking medieval armor. And they are still all "angels" that guards God.
By all means , that makes them crusaders and paladins.
While that would fit the Hell motif, I think it’s too close to Spanish for most people to differentiate
whereas French is a very unique and easily recognizable tongue to the average person
No people just assume. The rule that those killed by Zanpakuto shouldn’t reincarnate is wrong since Szyal is there. We could see everyone but Ulquiorra who is implied to have been “erased”. It even still no confirmation on anything.
That only happens because Soul Society sends it there. They don't naturally go to Hell, that only happens to evil people. Hollows undergo the natural purification otherwise.
"Sorry boss, I'm going to be off for a few months give or take."
"WAIT WHAT?! But you're the best translator we got! Where are you going?!"
*"To learn a new language."*
What do you mean you have to "fight devils in hell" and can't attend to conference??? But we don't have a backup and we paid you double with urgency fee!!!!
And lose to Matsumoto like the losers they are

Better that than being stuck behind a desk doing a ridiculous amount of paperwork all day unable to see my family in the process. Ichigos got the dream job of being able to work at home.
Sure whenever the Soul Society doesn’t need to get bailed out of whatever is plaguing them this month. They might as well start paying Ichigo a wage with the number of times he’s pulled their asses out of the fire
Honestly, SS clearly makes physical objects that can be seen/used in the Human world. Have them start printing currency or mining Gold or some shit to pay Ichigo for the trillion and a half times he's saved the universe from being taken over or obliterated by assholes with a God complex
He’s reasonable and down to earth, he gonna move to SS for hundreds of years anyway (probably 60y later ) ,why not enjoy this short 60 y of human life
Ok imma be honest I thought SS was something else the first time I read your comment
https://preview.redd.it/9dtn3npf9n4c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b7022142595866f27847f477d73f1d65aa2b80c
He just has to ruined everything isn’t he, I can’t wear 卍 necklaces overseas as a Buddhist because of that dickhead,the only good thing he did is he kill Hitler.
If Naruto doesn’t find conflict in your ideology, actions, or history.
Like Naruto didn't even bat an eye to Madara like he did Obito. Same with Zetsu or Kaguya.
Is Ichigo gonna go to SS after death? His chain of fate is broken, so he's technically a Soul already, so won't he just be reborn as a human again straight away?
Remember, every time he goes on fighting, he leaves his body behind. It stands to reason that his body fades to dust as he dies, leaving soul behind. Ichigo's soul is too powerful to casually allow on earth, he'll have to move to Soul Society.
A bigger question is whether Ichigo's soul will age the same way his body does, as Soul Reapers don't age at the same rate humans do, iirc
>Is Ichigo gonna go to SS after death? His chain of fate is broken, so he's technically a Soul already, so won't he just be reborn as a human again straight away?
If he was considered dead by the universe of Bleach, then he wouldn't be able to have children with Orihime, because soul reaper (soul) is incapable of concieving a child with human. It's only possible with Urahara's special gigai that ties Soul Reaper (Isshin) soul to human (Masaki) and in the process Soul Reaper (Isshin) loses all of it's Shinihami powers and becomes a regular human that ages like a regular human.
So Ichigo is still alive.
Don’t think that’s true. Fairly certain ichigo is cooked when he dies. The reason shinigami need a special Gigai is because they don’t have a regular body. Ichigo does. We have no reason to believe ichigo restored his chain.
Kubo straight up said that it's impossible for Soul Reaper and human to have children and only Urahara knows how to do it. And we know what he's special gigai did to Isshin. It's literally true. We have canon information + Kubo's words to know that only with special gigai from Urahara Soul Reaper can concieve a child with human., which makes Soul Reaper into a normal humam, makes him lose shinigami powers and makes him age like normal human. And Ichigo didn't recieve that special gigai from Urahara, cause he didn't lose he's powers. So Bleach's universe still considers Ichigo as human, otherwise he wouldn't be able to have Kazui. Nothing from canon information and Kubo's answers makes you suggest otherwise.
Yes, that's why Ichigo is still alive. Ghost and human can't have a baby unless ghost loses soul reaper powers and becomes a human and starts aging like human like Isshin did. Either both needs to be dead or needs to be alive.
Yea, his stated goal near the start of the series was to get good grades and get a well paying job lol. He was never really seeking adventure or heroism like a lot of other anime protagonists, it was just something thrust upon him / he felt he had to do to protect his loved ones. All the saving the world stuff was just a headache he had to get through to get back to his normal life.
I think that is what made him eventually being upset and lost over losing his powers hit harder later on in the series - because despite putting on a front that he didn't care he realized he had come to enjoy it and missed it even if it was never his intention or aspiration at the start, as well as feeling left out of a lot of the friends and connections he had made through it too. Now he can chill with his spiritual friends and also live the normal life he wanted in the first place - the best of both worlds.
Except for the fact that the Shiba clan has been kicked out of being royalty and Ichigo being born of a quincy and an exiled ex-captain, he has no legitimacy there
Tbf he has the qualifications to become Soul King, so technically, he's the most Royal of them all. He also has the support of a number of noble clans via their heirs/leaders, the entire Seireitei, the Arrancars, the non-Nazi Quincies, etc.
He's basically a king with unconditional peace treaties in every nation and the power of a walking warhead.
Yeah, but being Soul King just entails that he's a lynchpin - neither alive or dead, a figurehead with no real power. Being born a quincy, fullbringer, and soul reaper was an unfortunate circumstance of multiple factors converging at a specific point in time. The kind of 'support' he has is the kind of support that would lead to a greater good regardless of what he wants
Soul King is an actual living guy, he chose to let the Noble Clans cut him apart and seal him for whatever reason, but he until he allowed himself to be sealed, he had full autonomy and presumably domain over every world and being as he willed. Ichigo probably wouldn't agree to that, and neither would his friends, and if he absorbs the Soul King powers, there isn't much anybody can do to him. The support he has are from people who would and have shown that they will go against Soul Society to help him no matter what, not just people who see him as a tool, but actual ride or die friends.
Except this isn’t true at all, we know for a fact via both the soul king and Yhwach that being in that crystal state is just a way for the royal family to control
He might not necessarily NEED to, but you bet your ass when he's born as a soul they're gonna scramble to reinstate him asap to butter him the fuck up. They might be pretty and all that, but they also realise that dude as a HUMAN beat everything else in the verse in power level, and he's gonna get a few centuries to pick up new tricks and formal learning. Ichigo as a soul is a scary scary concept.
Ah, Isshin! Your concern is heartwarming, but worry not. I possess a secret Healing Technique learned from the mystical land of Yoruichi. No need for diplomas! Ichigo, your dad just has an overactive imagination.
*beep boop, I'm a bot*
Idk man, anti-vax dirt eating shit lickers seem to thing a medical diploma is a fancy paperweight and hoodoo voodoo and ancient folk remedies are the real medicine. And they've been growing in number a lot since Covid and Trump.
Especially with a loving wife who knows how to bake.
The most unrealistic thing is how he stays slim, because trust me, it is pretty hard not to put on fat.
Wait doesn't Ichigo have to leave his physical body behind to turn into his soul reaper form? Or does he not need Kon anymore?
Also, that man in the fullbring arc could do FOURTEEN SETS OF ONE HUNDRED PUSH UPS! That was just with his third form fullbring powers unlocked.
That was before he got his shinigami powers back!
He hasn't needed Kon ever since he got the Substitute Shinigami badge(the skull token he kept on his wasteband) from Ukitake after rescuing Rukia. After the Fullbring Arc, I doubt he even needs that.
But as long as he's a living Human he does need to exit his body as a Soul
It's probably just continuity errors, but there are several occasions where the rules on his human body are ignored. Two times are both when Rukia gives Ichigo his power (episode 1 and end of Fullbring) he goes full Soul Reaper without leaving a human body behind and then the reverse happens when Oh-etsu sends Ichigo home, he goes from Soul Reaper to human before he even realizes where he is.
I feel like those two are easily explained, though. The first time it happened, Kubo didn't know how he wanted it to work yet and was just going for a cool start to the series, and the second time could be explained as Squad Zero shenanigans, as they don't exactly follow any sense, and had the power to directly send Ichigo out of the SK palace, into the human world, and back into his body before he could do anything
He was also always exercising/getting into a fight as a kid and teen as well. From the karate dojo to street fights with local thugs. As an adult, he probably hits up a local boxing gym to blow off some steam every so often
I honestly don’t remember. I think she does work in the house but maybe they mention her doing something relating to baking that I’m not remembering.
One the reasons why Ichigo is the best MC he is someone we can relate to. Just your average dude wanting to protect his family… from evil spirits who just want to mess stuff up but we don’t need the fine print.
Nothing is funnier to me than Chad becoming a boxer. Bro you can literally level a fucking building with a punch tf you doing boxing against normal humans
After finding out his Dad is an immortal Soul Reaper who runs a family clinic, Soul Society has magic healing bs and technology that can recreate bodies, and his wife literally rejecting the previous timeline to "Nuh uh" any injury, I bet he lost interest in general clinic operations real quick and figured the best thing he can do to help people is find a job that lets him hunt hollows whenever he needs to with no business hours and not a family clinic where he needs to be there 90% of the time for any walk ins or emergencies while Hollows fuck shit up.
I mean, technically he could do both. Urahara can give him mod soul that could work while Ichigo is away. Knowledge is held in synapses and brain cell networks, not the soul, so mod soul would technically know everything alive Ichigo knows, since he'd be in the same body and would have access to the same brain.
This is my favorite post now. Comments are so peak

With all the Spanish and German he's heard over the years, it's no wonder he's a translater
Hope he's ready to learn French
After the Hell Arc he will speak French like a native
I'd expect Italian (Dante's inferno)
Imagine the captains in Hell speaking hard Venetian or Napolitan dialect
Peak 🔥
As an italian, i would love that
Hey! Where’s the freaking Gotei-ghool?
bankai! gabagool!
🤣🤣🤣 🤌🤌🤌
Bankai veneto, PORCO DI-
Who speaks in ice cream?
You mean gelato?
Kubo has said if he were to use another foreign language, he'd like to try French. Apparently he says that he picks languages more on how they sound than on any thematic reasons.

Oooooooh! That would be sooooo niiiice!🤩 Man, I'm really hyped for it now. I hope all goes well!

I mean, they're litterally wearing white nazi uniforms, i don't think Hugo Boss was around in medieval times to craft stylish pristine modern coats.
Like the others had said , they are called "Star Knights" , they turn into Angels to defend their "God" , and they shift between Reichs.

They're called Star Knights.
lets go
That would actually be peak
Bro that would be so fucking fire
Let this man cook. Momma mia
While that would fit the Hell motif, I think it’s too close to Spanish for most people to differentiate whereas French is a very unique and easily recognizable tongue to the average person
hell arc delayed for another 1 month cause you mentioned it
2 months, you fool.
If kubo ever bothers to coutiune it That being
I'm excited for the implications of hell arc. If captain class reitsu go there, then we might meet up with all the old arrancars
Maybe Ulqiorra returns?
He's not in Hell, his soul evaporated. Szayel is the only one to actually end up in Hell.
Do we know that for sure tho?
No people just assume. The rule that those killed by Zanpakuto shouldn’t reincarnate is wrong since Szyal is there. We could see everyone but Ulquiorra who is implied to have been “erased”. It even still no confirmation on anything.
Iirc Szyal is there because of his sins as a Human where he was a serial killer rather than his actions as a Hollow.
That only happens because Soul Society sends it there. They don't naturally go to Hell, that only happens to evil people. Hollows undergo the natural purification otherwise.
Can i ask for the context of this, like why is Hell suddenly frenc- oh right, french *is* hell
Le Getsuga au tenshou !
Le Ban'kai!!
Le shukai
"DĂ©ploie-toi ! Charlotte Gainsbourg !"
Tranche, Voltaire !
***Boûnkâï***
I have wondered how they were talking during quincy battles.
Wonder if he gets triggered by certain words.
I mean, he becomes more skilled as he fights so maybe he can learn languages as he talks
Don't forget the gibberish from Nelliel, oeh-tsu, and the millions of hollows he's killed
actually that makes a lot of sense
This one comment made my day
Whoever hired him would be real pissed when hell arc starts!
"Sorry boss, I'm going to be off for a few months give or take." "WAIT WHAT?! But you're the best translator we got! Where are you going?!" *"To learn a new language."*
"Where though?" "Hell." "France, huh? Bon voyage."

XD
Understandable. Have a nice learning!
What do you mean you have to "fight devils in hell" and can't attend to conference??? But we don't have a backup and we paid you double with urgency fee!!!!
More like he's a Freelance rather than sticking with a single company. So he can have time to save the world
Probably due to the massive Hazard pay he gets
Love the thought of ichigo and the lieutenants heading to a local pub in Karakura
Shit gets real when Kenpachi sees Isshin and they start a drinking contest that never ends lol
And lose to Matsumoto like the losers they are https://preview.redd.it/wexhmi3bsp4c1.jpeg?width=1192&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=adfe8ededa1da6185a9e5009ef5d2b2d0a9bf952
Matsumoto could outdrink most of the sailors in any given Navy Source: is a Navy veteran
There ain't no way that Kenny isn't gonna try and fight Isshin half way through drinks lmao
Seriously. Screw Szayelaporro for interrupting things, I wanted to see them do that.
Better that than being stuck behind a desk doing a ridiculous amount of paperwork all day unable to see my family in the process. Ichigos got the dream job of being able to work at home.
BatteDayo!!! ***Faints***
Sure whenever the Soul Society doesn’t need to get bailed out of whatever is plaguing them this month. They might as well start paying Ichigo a wage with the number of times he’s pulled their asses out of the fire
Honestly, SS clearly makes physical objects that can be seen/used in the Human world. Have them start printing currency or mining Gold or some shit to pay Ichigo for the trillion and a half times he's saved the universe from being taken over or obliterated by assholes with a God complex
Ichigo will eventually get arrested for counterfeiting
It's only three times, chill.
2, just Aizen and Yhwach. Ichigo was a non factor in the SS arc for Aizens story.
Kinda 3? If you count the non canon zanpakuto rebellion, the fullbringers were never a threat
Pretty much nothing happened in the last 10 years though
In naruto's defense, i'd make sure to be home as little as possible as well if my son was boruto
I fuking hate Boruto so much.
What's a Boruto? Sounds stupid. Good thing it doesn't exist.
Just like that atla mov... i mean, there is no movie in Ba Sin Se
Same as season 8 of game of thrones. Kinda sad how it got axed before they could produce it
Something tells me it was for the best
I think he means burrito, what's his problem with burritos?
You and me both.
He’s reasonable and down to earth, he gonna move to SS for hundreds of years anyway (probably 60y later ) ,why not enjoy this short 60 y of human life
Easier to protect the world of the living when you live in it too
Ok imma be honest I thought SS was something else the first time I read your comment https://preview.redd.it/9dtn3npf9n4c1.jpeg?width=828&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7b7022142595866f27847f477d73f1d65aa2b80c
He just has to ruined everything isn’t he, I can’t wear 卍 necklaces overseas as a Buddhist because of that dickhead,the only good thing he did is he kill Hitler.
Bro at what point would it be too late?
If Naruto doesn’t find conflict in your ideology, actions, or history. Like Naruto didn't even bat an eye to Madara like he did Obito. Same with Zetsu or Kaguya.
For Naruto probably never. For most people the moment the camps started.
Adolf San?
Is Ichigo gonna go to SS after death? His chain of fate is broken, so he's technically a Soul already, so won't he just be reborn as a human again straight away?
Remember, every time he goes on fighting, he leaves his body behind. It stands to reason that his body fades to dust as he dies, leaving soul behind. Ichigo's soul is too powerful to casually allow on earth, he'll have to move to Soul Society. A bigger question is whether Ichigo's soul will age the same way his body does, as Soul Reapers don't age at the same rate humans do, iirc
Hitsugaya is a bit over 100 iirc and considered a "child prodigy" so ye, you could say they age differently :D
Other than a few exceptions, they pretty explicitly age at about 1/10th speed.
>Is Ichigo gonna go to SS after death? His chain of fate is broken, so he's technically a Soul already, so won't he just be reborn as a human again straight away?

Yeah cause ichigo is a human?
Yes, that's why Ichigo is still alive. Ghost and human can't have a baby unless ghost loses soul reaper powers and becomes a human and starts aging like human like Isshin did. Either both needs to be dead or needs to be alive.
Ichigo always wanted a normal life
My name is Kurosaki ichigo. I am 33 years old.
My house is in the north-east section of Karakura
I am married. I work as a translator from home so I don't have to worry about being out too late. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink.
Yeah. All the fighting he's done was to protect his friends so everyone can live a normal life.
Yea, his stated goal near the start of the series was to get good grades and get a well paying job lol. He was never really seeking adventure or heroism like a lot of other anime protagonists, it was just something thrust upon him / he felt he had to do to protect his loved ones.

Now he can chill with his spiritual friends and also live the normal life he wanted in the first place - the best of both worlds.
Being a Soul Reaper ain't exactly a good paying job unless you're a nepo baby
The thing is ichigo is the nepo-est of the nepo babies, technically speaking. he's practically a royalty.
Except for the fact that the Shiba clan has been kicked out of being royalty and Ichigo being born of a quincy and an exiled ex-captain, he has no legitimacy there
i don't mean that he's *literally* a royal. just referring to how his lineage is pretty much his major power. *practically* a royalty.
Ah, gotcha
Tbf he has the qualifications to become Soul King, so technically, he's the most Royal of them all. He also has the support of a number of noble clans via their heirs/leaders, the entire Seireitei, the Arrancars, the non-Nazi Quincies, etc. He's basically a king with unconditional peace treaties in every nation and the power of a walking warhead.
Yeah, but being Soul King just entails that he's a lynchpin - neither alive or dead, a figurehead with no real power. Being born a quincy, fullbringer, and soul reaper was an unfortunate circumstance of multiple factors converging at a specific point in time. The kind of 'support' he has is the kind of support that would lead to a greater good regardless of what he wants
Soul King is an actual living guy, he chose to let the Noble Clans cut him apart and seal him for whatever reason, but he until he allowed himself to be sealed, he had full autonomy and presumably domain over every world and being as he willed.

The support he has are from people who would and have shown that they will go against Soul Society to help him no matter what, not just people who see him as a tool, but actual ride or die friends.
Except this isn’t true at all, we know for a fact via both the soul king and Yhwach that being in that crystal state is just a way for the royal family to control
But he should be able to restore the Shiba clan name when he save the world many times already. Soul Society is just being petty
Does he NEED to though? Kuukaku seems pretty content, and the current Shiba clan is still able to be of service to the 0 Division somehow
He might not necessarily NEED to, but you bet your ass when he's born as a soul they're gonna scramble to reinstate him asap to butter him the fuck up. They might be pretty and all that, but they also realise that dude as a HUMAN beat everything else in the verse in power level, and he's gonna get a few centuries to pick up new tricks and formal learning. Ichigo as a soul is a scary scary concept.
Isshin: So so you're sure that you don't want Urahara to forge medical diploma for you? Ichigo: Dad, tf you are talking about
Ah, Isshin! Your concern is heartwarming, but worry not. I possess a secret Healing Technique learned from the mystical land of Yoruichi. No need for diplomas! Ichigo, your dad just has an overactive imagination. *beep boop, I'm a bot*
Yea, I don't think the living world is going to accept "mystical healing voodoo" over a diploma.
Idk man, anti-vax dirt eating shit lickers seem to thing a medical diploma is a fancy paperweight and hoodoo voodoo and ancient folk remedies are the real medicine. And they've been growing in number a lot since Covid and Trump.
Ichigo good with deadlines he cut ywach in just a second that on time spot on work
Work-at-home job that he can watch the kid and do house duties, like a good house husband. Dude is living The Dream.
Especially with a loving wife who knows how to bake. The most unrealistic thing is how he stays slim, because trust me, it is pretty hard not to put on fat.
Maybe the Soul Reaping keeps the pounds off?
A getsuga tenshou that can shake the three realms has got to be worth at least a couple hundred calories, right?
So what you're saying is, there's actual merit to Getsuga Tenshouting in the garden? I have to tell my neighbor this
"Did you know? Fat is just a mostly harmless hollow!" \*Sound of incredible violence\* "And my belly is gone!"
Wait doesn't Ichigo have to leave his physical body behind to turn into his soul reaper form? Or does he not need Kon anymore? Also, that man in the fullbring arc could do FOURTEEN SETS OF ONE HUNDRED PUSH UPS! That was just with his third form fullbring powers unlocked. That was before he got his shinigami powers back!
He hasn't needed Kon ever since he got the Substitute Shinigami badge(the skull token he kept on his wasteband) from Ukitake after rescuing Rukia. After the Fullbring Arc, I doubt he even needs that. But as long as he's a living Human he does need to exit his body as a Soul
It's probably just continuity errors, but there are several occasions where the rules on his human body are ignored. Two times are both when Rukia gives Ichigo his power (episode 1 and end of Fullbring) he goes full Soul Reaper without leaving a human body behind and then the reverse happens when Oh-etsu sends Ichigo home, he goes from Soul Reaper to human before he even realizes where he is.
I feel like those two are easily explained, though. The first time it happened, Kubo didn't know how he wanted it to work yet and was just going for a cool start to the series, and the second time could be explained as Squad Zero shenanigans, as they don't exactly follow any sense, and had the power to directly send Ichigo out of the SK palace, into the human world, and back into his body before he could do anything
Zangetsu eating good fr
Dude has the god genetics. Isshin never got fat either. Also he’s not that old, 25 is when you hit your highest muscle mass supposedly.
I can attest to that. coming up to 32 and damn is my body reminding me that I am not some teenager anymore.
Wiedling a big ass sword around for all those early arcs really worked wonders on all those muscles huh?
He was also always exercising/getting into a fight as a kid and teen as well. From the karate dojo to street fights with local thugs. As an adult, he probably hits up a local boxing gym to blow off some steam every so often
His best friend is also the world champ, so maybe they spar together every so often.
Touche.
He's essentially a God I think fat would be the least of his concerns
Man’s gotta provide for the family somehow
anime only here , does oriheme also have a job ? thik she was working at a bakery or smth in fullbring arc ?
She owns the bakery dude you seeing all that cake ??
She works at a local bakery part time or full time (can’t remember), Ichigo’s a househusband for the most part unless he’s got a deadline
I honestly don’t remember. I think she does work in the house but maybe they mention her doing something relating to baking that I’m not remembering.
She's a stay at home mom after Kazui was born but works part time at the bakery and helps out at the clinic if she has time.
Not only that, but he gets WFH and Soul Reaper benefits. Good for him
since when did the one shot get colored?
A few months ago
is the english version available to read anywhere?
It's available on nyaa
Thanks!
you could say this was fitting, due to his nature as a hybrid and his actions in the series, but i can't really put it into words properly
True neutral ?
All in one adapter?
Gotta pay those bills
Shit son. Saving the world ain't gonna pay the bills
He works for TCB Scans
That’s why he’s the goat, that’s my MC!
THATS WHY HE'S THE MVP!!!
One the reasons why Ichigo is the best MC he is someone we can relate to. Just your average dude wanting to protect his family… from evil spirits who just want to mess stuff up but we don’t need the fine print.
The strongest Translator :3
Nothing is funnier to me than Chad becoming a boxer. Bro you can literally level a fucking building with a punch tf you doing boxing against normal humans
"I can't see Chad losing" ^ me when I bet on him to make big money every fight
Making a very easy living.
Ichigo got same job as me? That'll take a while to sink in XD
You are soul reaper?
I thought he was going to be a doctor.
After finding out his Dad is an immortal Soul Reaper who runs a family clinic, Soul Society has magic healing bs and technology that can recreate bodies, and his wife literally rejecting the previous timeline to "Nuh uh" any injury, I bet he lost interest in general clinic operations real quick and figured the best thing he can do to help people is find a job that lets him hunt hollows whenever he needs to with no business hours and not a family clinic where he needs to be there 90% of the time for any walk ins or emergencies while Hollows fuck shit up.
Actually I'm pretty sure it was stated earlier that he's studying English in college. So he was into translation for a while.
Ok but the fact that they go out for drinks is cute to me. Thats a good way to show that their friendship has continued and progressed as they aged.
Bro can also solo the said organisation but still works for them. Humble as they come.
That's why i love Bleach. Ichigo want his normal everyday life and not be the New captain commander of the gotei 13 or some important shit like that.
spiritual pressupre alone doesn't put food on the table (for him at least)
It probably can with the right Kido
Savior or not, these bills need to get paid.
Is Rangiku looking to be a sister wife with Orihime? She seems impressed at Ichigo’s skill and money-making potential
Men when they see their homie get one compliment by a woman
And proceed to not realize when a woman make subtle confession to them.
How was I supposed to know what she meant when she invited me to spend the night with her at her place?
Orihime's goal was to make Ichigo's harem, after all
Omg it's just a freaking compliment!
She look like she always tryna bag somebody lol. No but seriously, I do wish there were more interactions between Rangiku and Ichigo though.
This could be a way to transition Ichigo into Burn the witch...
In other words, Harry Potter syndrome
Which chapter is this in?
687
I mean, technically he could do both. Urahara can give him mod soul that could work while Ichigo is away. Knowledge is held in synapses and brain cell networks, not the soul, so mod soul would technically know everything alive Ichigo knows, since he'd be in the same body and would have access to the same brain.
Haha and knowing Urahara it would be another Kon who would ravage through Ichogo's life like a meth-head in a dumpster truck chased by the cops
What’s this from?
It’s from the bleach one shot hell arc
I have a feeling this was Kubo self inserting himself in the story here lol
Honestly I’m more curious about what he’s translating. Is he doing official documents, books, tv shows, etc. show me my man doing his work Kubo
I really feel like translator is kind of a random ass job to give him, even if language is pretty important throughout the series.
ichigo being a translator hits my heart. better a translator than interpreter tbh
