The Official BLEACH series Thread

Ichigo changed them. That is what almost every single main male character in almost every shonen manga ends up doing.

People can redeem themselves...I believe that was the entire point of Ichigo's pwnage at the end, there.

Bleach in a Bleach thread? Interesting..

Might apply to Tsukishima or Ginjou but Giriko had no such redemption.

He could have had an epiphany during death's blow via the realization of his arrogance and the futility of his creepy games. That eiphany being "power" over others. Someone exists that can quickly destroy ones power, at any given moment. That could be devastating to someone that enjoyed control above all else.

Look at me, I've taken story analysis classes, before. To me, that seems like what every English (or literature) Major does, all the time, to every story, ever. They add interpretations to make the writer seem more complicated/deep. It gets irritating. Hemmingway was the worst at creating such a palate for pontificators.

We do that cuz we need to in order to pull those long-ass essays out of our aether.

I don't really think Giriko could do much thinking with regard to his moral life considering his brain was split in two.

I agree with this, also. I thoroughly enjoyed Alucard's character. There was plenty of development for other characters, too. The story was very enjoyable. It ranks in my top 20 manga, for sure.

The OVAs are just...absurdly awesome. Nemebro should love Alucard. We pretty much agree on every other manga. 😐 He's just being difficult. One day, he'll admit his love for Alucard.

**** Alucard, lol.

His soul is far more important than his brain. His soul is his purest essence and that soul was the thing that had the epiphany, not his mortal body which was bisected at that point.

Giriko came off as sort of a sociopath to me, honestly, lol.

Then how come Screecher went to Hell? He could have had an epiphany too.

He wasn't repentant, obviously.

It could also be argued that Bleach subscribes to a "Deeds above character" sort of afterlife.

Regardless of how "evil" Giriko might be, Screecher, for example, killed much more people that we have seen, and has committed more evil.

Giriko's malice was relatively restrained by his superiors.

Okay, the King of Souls IS a person AND a male.

Astner was wrong and I was right.

BLATANT FANSERVICE AHOY!

Other than that - meh. MEH I SAY!

^ We saw Rukia's ass, and Byakuya being tossed like a rag-doll. WIN!

Keep holding your breath. It looks like he's trapped in a crystal of some sort.

I already exhaled, broseph. It's definitely a humanoid.

I'll reserve my concession until all the facts are out.

When I read in a B.A. spoiler that the Soul king was sparkling, I instantly thought of gay twilight vamps.

But I read the chapter, and his eyes look weird.

Why is Byakuya's head near dickhead's lap?
