Bleach's Bount Arc Is MUCH Better Than You Remember!!

[@NirmanTamang]

My friend has been stuck with this arc for more than 2 months at this point , he speedran the entire soul society arc but is unable to move forward now

[@MrMythul]

Just tell him to skip it. It doesn't matter. Tbh until TYBW he should read it

[@NirmanTamang]

@MrMythul I. Tried but he is one of those hardcore commiters who would rather drop the show but not skip anything

[@MrMythul]

@@NirmanTamang I would explain it as. This is a section that does not matter to the original storyline at all. It's just a time waster. I would also explain how bad this arc is and that no development can happen since this arc isn't Cannon. You can also mention the author didn't write it and doesn't intend for anything here to be taken into account. Tbh he should read the manga.

@@MrMythul I tried everything bro 😂..he is an anime only

[@lizagna7172]

It’s certainly better then I remember, I’ve never watched it

[@soumajitsen1395]

I agree with you here - yes, the pacing was a bit slow compared to the previous arc, but mind that it's just a filler arc created by the studio just to compensate for the fact that they had no idea when the Arrancar arc was gonna end - of course it had slow pacing. However, the arc itself had a decent plot and it foreshadowed the TYBW - and IMO, it had the best fight in the anime till that point. Like, Jin's power up with the tattoos literally looks like it inspired Sukuna.

Also Kariyas final speech that his friends will betray him (fullbring arc)

[@ShadowC14]

Only filler arc I've cared enough for was the zanpako spirit arc. Not only did it bring alot of interesting concepts, but the fights were actually good

[@Razielus89]

Actually Bount arc is one of my favorite, so for me is practically the best 😁

[@Lg_Lantern]

I have enjoyed the bount arc from the very first time I watched through the series. It's one of my favourite arcs

[@KurosakiNexus]

It's certainly much better than people give it credit for

[@qwerty8832]

This guy is not an avid consumer of bleach and this shows it very well, there is no realistic reason why Ichigo should have been UNABLE to use his bankai it creates a plot point that makes no sense when the rest of the story is revealed later on, on top of that giving uryu back his powers even just temporarily removes a lot of the reasons behind his motivations and what drives him

[@aaleexg]

No matter what you say im never watching this arc. Cool vid tho

[@darklordzerato7]

hell naw that arc desrves that hate and more many people droped bleach due to that arc lol

[@noelogbeide7135]

I stayed through the arc and actually loved it plus it doesn't deserve the hate it gets

[@sageoverheaven]

A defense of this travesty? Colour me curious.

[@mickomoo]

IMO this arc is a better paced version of the Fullbring arc… which is just Chapter Black from YYH.

[@qwerty8832]

@@mickomoo fullbring arc is a million times better than bount, fullbring is the one that is underrated not bount

[@mickomoo]

@ Fullbring had more potential but the pacing was terrible. For example we only learn Ginjo’s motivations from off hand comments. Captains coming out of nowhere to restore Ichigo’s powers make the arc feel pointless. A slower arc with way more buildup and time to flesh out people’s motivations would have been better. I don’t hate it. I’m sure with TYBWA animation rewrite it could be better. But that’s not going to happen and as it stands it has structural issues that make it feel incomplete. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying Bount is better content wise, I’m saying it’s got better pacing where we actually learn the motivations of the Chapter Black analogue antagonists.

[@qwerty8832]

@@mickomoo there was nothing wrong with it, based on all the points you made you might need to rewatch it as there are some things you missed

[@mickomoo]

@@qwerty8832 my points are opinions, but they are based on what happened. Ichigo loses his FB powers before the end of the arc and the captains literally come out of nowhere to give him his shimigami powers and said they wanted to do that all along. Had they did it any earlier the arc wouldn’t have happened. It felt pretty arbitrary. Ginjo just tells Ichigo that he was a substitute soul reaper and that he hates soul society in their final battle. That information isn’t really known or talked about until before Ichigo fights him. Ginjo’s Chapter Black analogue is Sensui who was a spirit detective before the YYH protagonist, Yusuke. Unlike in the FB arc, we learn that information earlier in the story so that we can see Yusuke and Sensui as foils and actually understand why the villain became a villain. It literally felt like Kubo was ripping off the best parts of Chapter Black without understanding what made them good. Happy to disagree about whether this is good or bad storytelling, which I acknowledge is an opinion, but this is what happened.

[@qwerty8832]

@ there was plenty of stuff to signify that there was a substitute before ginjo and it was hinted at for the entire arc that he would be getting his powers back, a lot of what you have been saying is just evident that you have not properly watched it as there is just information you are straight up ignoring

[@dirgeofdementia]

Umm… when you have to wait a week in between episodes? Sorry, the Bount Arc is garbage.
