Angry Grimace
Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
I can't fathom why.

I can't remember anything about his character other than he likes being in Division 11 and he's hiding his fucking terrible Bankai.

He got his bankai early, only to get Worf'd. Much like Renji.
I thought that was the bald guy. If that's Ikkaku then who the fuck is the bald guy?

Ikkaku is the bald guy. It seems like Grimmy is actually talking about that other guy, who hides his real shikai and bankai.
Ikkaku is the bald guy. The one that has so much respect for Kenpachi Zaraki that he refuses to move up to Captain unless it's by beating him. That's why he hid his bankai.

No different from this
Except Oda took 2 pages to deliver the message.
cuz hes a bleach character so we must all hate him, duh.
Wait now two of them are hiding their shit? What the fuck, someone needs to stop going to that well and come up with a new thing.

Ikkaku is the bald guy that has a crappy three-piece Bankai and hides it from the rest of the Shinigami because he doesn't want to be promoted out of Division 11 (despite the fact that he was apparently wrong about that since Renji's still Lt. Jobber Extraordinaire).
No, that's his best buddy Yumichika who's hiding his shikai because he doesn't want Ikkaku to not be buddies with him anymore. He doesn't have a bankai.

Ikkaku was hiding his bankai though so grimace isn't that off (until he clarifies).
Yep but he was hiding his shikai since he felt it wasn't "worthy" of a division who liked to fight.
Ikkaku hid his bankai since he didn't want to leave the division and his captian.

Which is laughable, because Zaraki would still kill him in one strike.

This entire discussion is proving my point really fucking well.

No point? I disagree. Iba knew about Ikkaku´s bankai, which means it was not a secret, and Iba taught him a lesson about putting the mission first.
Yamichika´s shikai is a kido type shikai which is very frawnd upon in the 11th division and we finally know why he kept it a secret, and his fear to get expelled from the 11th division.
Komamura is the best bro. In his fight with Tousen he showed how fiercely loyal he is to his friends. His thoughts about Tousen showed how much he cared for his friends
How can you say that this did not flesh more his character? You might not like him but that does not mean that he was not fleshed out in the arc.
Tit lady? Hallibel or Yoruichi?

I don't actually like Bleach though, so I'm not trying to disprove you.
It's nice when your manga has more than one character that can be described as "Tit lady".
He should join Fairy Tail with dat depth.

Yeah, I was thinking of Yumichika, who hid is real shikai. I thought what we saw of it during the SS arc was already the full form and what we saw during the FKT arc was his bankai.
Angry Grimace

They barely have any character to begin with. Adding that Yumichika was secretly hiding his shikai is character development, sure, but its an inconsequential development of a character nobody gave a shit about in the first place because there wasn't anything more to his character in the first place. You're arguing a strawman in the first place; it isn't that they aren't getting bits fleshed out, its that adding a single bit of characterization onto an otherwise completely flat character doesn't magically transform the character into someone interesting.

I would probably think about ready Fairy Tail again if this happened LOL
Nah, the SS arc had him doing his shikai off-screen, the multi-blade look was a fake shikai he created. He doesn't have a bankai.
And Yoruichi never struck me as a Tit Lady, she was ninja-cat. But at least Bleach's female characters are in a much better place than Naruto's!

I'd describe Yumichika more as a gag character, kinda like Franky.

Serious question btw:
Who do you guys consider the 5 most important characters in Bleach?

There really wasn't something about his character that made it necessary to see him fight someone for 10 chapters and the payoff was inconsequential because of that.
brotkasten
Member
Nah, we saw his blades turn into tentacles during the SS arc. I'd pretty sure about that. It was right before the jump to the next scene.

Fairy Tail is by far the deepest out of any shonen manga anywhere
The absolute deepest
Franky is infinitely more relevant to the plot than Yumichika has ever been or ever will be.

Beyond Ichigo I really couldn't say. Rukia hasn't been particularly consequential to the plot in a long time.

- Ichigo Kurosaki
- Toshiro Hitsugaya
- Tensa Zangetsu (young)
- Renji Abarai
- Grimmjow Jaggerjack
Ichigo
Urahara
Aizen
Kenpachi
Rukia
It doesn't do too many character arcs, and Ichigo is far and away the lead in the series. It seems to concentrate mainly on interactions for development.

He said important, not sexiest

He asked for the important characters, not for the hottest ones. Hitsugaya is completely irrelevant and always was.
It's really hard to come up with more than Ichigo and Urahara. Isshin, maybe, but that's where it ends.
Infinite Justice

Ichigo (MC horseshit)
Aizen (the Villian)
Urahara (dude be stealing shit from everyone for years)
He asked for 5.

It´s not about Yamichika hiding his shikai, we got to know the why he does it. I´m not saying that all the characters are interesting far from it. What i am saying is that she got fleshed out in the war which what the guy said that side characters were not featured. Shunsui and Ukitake have gotten fleshed out in the manga. Ukitake with his honor thing, and the badge thing. Shunsui with his disregard for the rule of war because war is inherently evil, and getting promoted to CC. Unohana. I am not saying that these characters are interesting but saying that side characters were not featured is not true at all. Hell i dislike most of the shinigami except Mayuri and Komamura, and the shinigami are featured all the time in the manga.

there are 2 other people that matter?
That made me laugh harder than it should have.
Isshin and Rukia round it up to 5.
Are you guys seriously trying to say there's no important characters in Bleach?
This hate is just getting pathetic.

Hitsugaya contributed greatly during the Ryoka Invasion arc being greatly implicated in the main affair between Aizen-sama and Momo as well as making the big discovery, additionally being involved yet again in the Fake Karakura Town and Fullbringer arc utterly destroying Yukio's advances. I think he is definitely an important character.

No it was made off screen iirc.
But she just kicked some sense into Ichigo like a year ago when Ichigo got his shinigami powers back.

This whole character discussion reminds me of Plinket's Episode 1 review, where he asks others to describe the characters without mentioning the name.
Infinite Justice

i'm okay with this (Aizen 2 being garbage aside).
When is the last time Rukia was actually relevant? I mean other than just showing up.
BassForever

The top 3 have to be Ichigo, Urahara, and Aizen after that it gets a bit more fuzzy. Rukia, Byakuya, Renji, and Kenpachi could all fight for those spots. I'll give the nod to Rukia for 4th by helping to basically kick start the whole plot and being the main driving force of the plot for the first 185ish chapters.
Just read One Piece, it's the most entertaining.

The point is that this isn't interesting and it doesn't magically transform an uninteresting character into an interesting one, even assuming for the sake of argument that we had any reason to care about it in the first place.
I'm failing to see why that was something Rukia herself actually did that her character was required to do. The entirety of it was a rehash of the lost Quincy powers super convenient solution anyways.
