hello character who is desperate to be a good person; i want to play a game. in front of you is the one person you will never be able to save. you have the rest of your life to make peace with this. there are no defined repercussions if you fail, but we both know you're going to attempt to win regardless. your time starts now

don't worry about the fact it's just you and a mirror in the room.

i dont consider myself a 'fashion guru' by any means but one thing i will say is guys you dont need to know the specific brand an item you like is - you need to know what the item is called. very rarely does a brand matter, but knowing that pair of pants is called 'cargo' vs 'boot cut' or the names of dress styles is going to help you find clothes you like WAAAYYYY faster than brand shopping

this also goes for aesthetic or -core titles. 'y2k tank top' is going to get you resellers and fast fashion brands advertising to people looking to meet a current trend. 'thin strap crop tank top' is going to get you a diverse group of results and not upcharge you to hell and back

additionally, shop second hand when you can, second hand and thrift sites typically organize clothes by the cut and color. theyll be more affordable than a depop seller curating you a style to sell you

Ichigo’s TYBW Team

I always give characters the benefit of the doubt before being overly critical of their behavior but sometimes it comes to the point where you give up. Above all else, Ichigo is my favorite character. A character who is at war with his mother’s killer. A war to preserve the three worlds. A war against his mother’s people. He deserves to be at his best.

So, with that being said, as Ichigo goes to fight his biggest battle, why is it that the dream team Kubo chose is Ganju, Orihime and Chad. No, genuinely, why was that the crack team? Maybe I am missing something, maybe it’s some hidden symbolism that I am not catching, but there’s got to be an amazing explanation as to why that is the team that was chosen.

I do not think Kubo could’ve chosen a worse team for the advance troop with Ichigo. Ichigo only ever wins when he is by himself. When he fought Kenpachi, he told Hanatarou and Ganju to leave, then he was able to beat Kenpachi. When he fought Byakuya, Orihime talked about staying back because she would only hold him back, then Ichigo was able to beat Byakuya. The Arrancar arc, Chad and Orihime’s whole storyline was about not wanting to hold Ichigo back. In HM, Ichigo’s confidence was restored and was able to beat Grimmjow by himself. Ulquiorra… well I suppose Zangetsu took care of him. Against Aizen, when he tried to believe in the Gotei’s abilities, he lost. Against Aizen again, when he believed in his own abilities, he won.

Fullbring arc, Chad and Orihime say this:

It’s a nice sentiment, and you’d think it’s the start of them really pulling their weight but then a few chapters later:

They actively hold him back from killing Tsukishima. And yes, I know they were not in their right mind but we literally see Byakuya putting his loyalty for Ichigo above his own memories.

There is no progression for them after this point which is why I am so frustrated that this is Ichigo’s final arc team. They both don’t understand that some battles, Ichigo doesn’t need them by his side. It’s sad but he always performs his best when he’s by himself.

Chad wanted to be able to fight by Ichigo’s side like the old days and Orihime didn’t want to be lonely. That’s their reasonings for wanting to fight alongside him in the Arrancar Arc and both of those reasons completely dismiss the fact that the battles Ichigo is facing is beyond their level.

This whole rant came to me because in today’s episode, Yukio chose to sit out of the war.

He has no interest in the war, he has no personal stakes in the war and he is able to recognize that he probably wouldn’t make a difference in the war. And Ichigo recognizes it too, so he bars Riruka and Yukio from the war. He really should’ve barred Chad and Orihime too.

If the anime stays true to the manga, Orihime and Chad make no contributions from here on out. Orihime has her big fight with Ichigo and Yhwach but because it ultimate ends in failure, I’m not sure it’s a proper contribution.

And does Ichigo even have faith in them? Because I noticed in today’s episode, Ichigo just straight up doesn’t tell Orihime and Chad what Yhwach’s power is. Like when Chad asked about it, Ichigo turned away and both Orihime and Chad felt dejected. But we know for a fact Ichigo knows what his power is because:

He literally told him what it was. So, did Ichigo deliberately not tell them?

Let’s put into perspective how absurd this team up is. Mentally imagine, after Ichigo fought Yammy and he was about to go to the Fake Karakura to fight Aizen, imagine Orihime and Chad tagged along. Sounds stupid right? Because it is, and this is exactly what is happening right now. They are not characters meant for the front lines and that is established from the very beginning of the manga.

And I don’t know if their characters have always been like this or if Kubo suddenly changed them up but they are displaying a new level of incompetence in this arc.

Ichigo just got done in by the enemy, what should we do?

Stay on the floor and gasp.

Ichigo gets a quincy arrow right to the face, what should we do?

Stay put and yell his name.

Ichigo is passed out in front of the enemy, that must mean the enemy is strong! What should we do?

Run straight at him and get ensnared in his spell as well, instead of using ranged attacks and assessing the situation.

At least Orihime redeems herself and helps Ichigo take on Yhwach, but even that is iffy cause they eventually lose. And then when Kubo could’ve given her a great moment to fix Zangetsu, of course, the moment goes to someone else.

And has anyone noticed, Ichigo tried to ditch this team the first chance he got?

Orihime and Chad can’t make footholds so they wouldn’t have been able to follow him.

Like, you can take these two out of the war and the only difference would be Yoruichi not having an arm. THAT’S ACTUALLY IT.

The last person Chad won against is that non-Espada dude. The one that got demoted. And the last person Orihime beat was the Hollow that hurt Tatsuki. So they went from:

Random Hollows —> Yhwach

That jump makes no sense and they really shouldn’t be on the front lines. Ichigo needs a better group.

EXACTLY!!! And what’s funny is, the power of friendship doesn’t even work in Bleach. Is there even a time Ichigo won fighting alongside his friends?

Like, if they were giving Ichigo good emotional support and were thinking up plans to fight the enemy, then yeah, I wouldn’t be confused by their presence. But they’re NOT. They are legitimately just tag-alongs. Like you’re telling me, after a decade of writing Bleach, the best team to end off Ichigo’s journey… is Orihime and Chad… ITS SO ANTICLIMACTIC.

And if Kubo added them to build up Ichihime, wouldn’t it have been cuter for them to have a cute reunion after the fight. I can’t say I’m super into the ship but I’d say that’s better than them getting their skulls bashed together by Yhwach.
