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.

He broke up the fight with Kira and Hinamori(?) and got slashed by Aizen. Unohana discovered Aizen's plot first. During the FKT arc, he stabbed his girlfriend and then got beaten, I think? I can't remember it, even though I watched the thing a month ago. And I don't remember him during the Fullbring arc at all. Hitsugaya is as relevant as your random hollow.

Ask me which Shakespeare novel is best
When is the last time Rukia was actually relevant? I mean other than just showing up.

Still dedicated far more to Bleach's story, than, say, Robin, Brook, or Franky, who are in practically every OP chapter yet still manage to do nothing.

Hitsugaya is poised to be the next CC though. Yamamoto had the strongest fire zampakto, and Hitsugaya has the strongest ice zampakto.

Although I do read quite a lot of manga, I've never touched any of the big three. So. Many. Chapters.

Which is the most consistent for the first 100? Maybe I'll put it on the list.

Bleach or Naruto. One Piece hits it's stride after 100 and is consistently good.
Naruto just goes down hill and never picks itself up after the Sasori arc.

How could one forget Hitsugaya, it was even the second best fight of the arc.

This works, too.
The York Shin City arc, so good. I need to continue, I'm up to volume 12.
Start with the new anime from where you stopped, and stay with it at least until the manga comes back from hiatus. You won't catch up during a hiatus AND you won't see any scribbles. See how that works out.

I prefer reading the manga. Animes are too time consuming.

What's the average price of a manga in Italy?

I guess 5 or 5.50€ when considering every manga releases.
Price is a bit all over the place. It goes from 3.90€ for One Piece (I'd say the most popular series in Italy, but without numbers I can't be sure) to 4.20€-4.50€ for the other Shonen Jump series, to 5.90€ for the less popular stuff to 6.90€ for porn manga to 8/12€ for the really not popular/higher quality releases.

He gonna cry in the car
Ichigo
Aizen
Kisuke
Rukia


Fifth spot is a little murky. I'd make allowances for:

Yamamoto
Byakuya
Spirit King
Isshin
Orihime (driving force for Hueco Mundo and big character development for Ichigo and his hollow)

Personally out of the big threw I'd say.

- Bleach is good to catch-up on, but unbearably slow on a weekly basis.
- One piece can drag a bit some-times and is good, but the content crammed in each week is almost like half a volume of Bleach
- Naruto has the best fan-service fighting games.


Rankings:

KON
Ichigo
Aizen
Rukia
Uruhara

Oh well, it was worth trying. I'm also much more of a manga guy yet that's still my answer if that tells you anything. I guess even more so if your problem is anime being time consuming since with the arcs coming up, you might spend more time reading the text dumps in the manga than watch the animated explanations.

But the manga's great too!

I'm betting Bach has a chance at ranking. Really looking forward to his next appearance.

Damn... That's dirt cheap compared to France's prices.
Your average shounen costs at the very least 6.69 (really, that's the lowest price you'll see, thank you based Kurokawa for such low prices).
Vagabond costs 9.35, Punpun 7.45... So expensive...

Though ordering on Amazon is cheaper since there's a 5% discount.
 
Boy, that would be hilarious. He was hyped as the prodigy kid, but never really manages to do anything.

He´s a prodigy. The youngest captain ever, and he has a bitching bankai which is complete now. Like Shunsui said in a couple of hundred years he will be all that :p
I dislike his cocky attitude though. He acted too mature for a kid.

Other than having a Bankai that has completely overwhelmed most of the people he is set up against

luppi
shaolong
halibel

being one of the only people to know there was someone behind the rukia execution

shunsui ukitake intervened because they felt like it
unohana was tipped through her medical expertise

as well as stalling against shaolong to learn more about his enemy

saying hes does nothing is an exageration

I usually avoid manga adaptations of mangas I'm reading that's all. Or I just check a few episodes but quickly go back to the manga to experience the real thing.

The thing is, Ichigo absolutely (from their point of view) worfed the Quincies in Hueco Mundo. The his Quincy powers surprised Bach, then Ichigo got worfed by second in command.

Furthermore, how is a human like Bach 1000 years old?

who said he was human
 
I think the most important are:

1. Ichigo Kurosaki (Son of a Shinigami/Quincy couple)
2. Kisuke Urahara (Steals ideas and causes problems in general)
3. Sosuke Aizen (Perpetrator of Ichigo's birth / attempted murder of the Spirit King)
4. Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto (Genocide of the Quincy & overall incompetence)
5. Rukia Kuchiki (Unlocks Ichigo's latent Shinigami powers)

Orihime drops from importance after the Rescue Orihime Arc. And Masaki's only contribution to the plot was giving birth to Ichigo and getting killed by Grand Fisher. So they really don't count. Funny enough, Chad is the least important character in the series with the least amount of screen time and plot revelance.

Yeah, making someone like him a captain, while he's in puberty, was a really bad idea. Raise him separately, until he's ready to lead, but don't make him captain and give him a big titted vice captain on top of that.

Uryu can't kill shit. Ryuuken is more like it. That's a manly as fuck man.

Hey now, Uryu 1-hit-ko'd Mayuri. Sure, he sacrificed his power, but it looked pretty cool for that one second.

Ichigo lost in Hueco Mundo though......
 
To Love Ru Darkness 29

I like Nemesis and would gladly welcome her as part of the Harem.

But if she tries to jeopardize the plan, she can just leave and find someone else to ber her "slave".

- Naruto has the best fan-service fighting games.

Well let's be honest

Out of all the anime games based on the manga's (that I've played anyway), the Naruto and DBZ franchise are the only ones with decent fanservice and a fun fighting system with the Ultimate/Storm games and the Budokai/Tenkaichi series.

He won until a cheap cage got used on him though, and even then he completely smashed it open.

who said he was human

I thought the definition of a Quincy was a human with naturally high spirit pressure. This allowed them to absorb spirit energy externally to create bows and arrows. (Though Kubo probably forgot about this, considering he is seemingly making Quincies their own species which 'pass on' their powers.)

Nevermind this endless Big 3 war.
Let's just watch this OPM gif over and over.

Imagine an anime in this style at triple the FPS.
