Jujutsu Kaisen vs Bleach - How To Write A Fight

Jujutsu Kaisen and Bleach are some of the most popular and well regarded battle shonen, and in this video I wanted to compare and contrast both manga's fight scenes, not only to determine which is better but also to highlight both series' strength in the action department. ‪@R7dman‬ is with me to assist in the breakdown of Bleach's fights to get to the bottom of this question.
#jujutsukaisen #bleach

[@Rhenkei]

I think nice way to look at it is: Bleach characters aren’t human. Plain and simple, their fights, the combat, the emphasis on godliness is blatant and meant to resemble a battle of elegance something otherworldly. Jjk is down to Earth, its about humanity, breaking away from humanity and at times being alien, the fights are rough, its forceful, it has to be, they’re held down by their human limitations. I think also since Bleach is generally sword fights, its gonna become about the cleanliness/clearness of the strikes.

Kubo is godlike when it comes to paneling and composition it creates a clarity that allows you to move at your own pace.

[@pierceh4673]

I think one point I really disagree with Radman on in this video is the ease of reading each manga. I'd argue Kubo's paneling, formatting, and composition are the best in the industry and the focus on detailed poses and character designs, both rendered with pretty clean lines, lend Bleach to be a much easier read than JJK's crazy and sometimes intentionally messy art.

[@TSG_Froak]

as someone who has read both series i agree. i even have the physical jjk manga because it was difficult to understand each panel individually without getting close to my screen, i do like the messy art it has but i can be hard to see everything from time to time

[@nikjovan4816]

JJK's pacing is a blessing and a curse. On one hand the fast pace keeps your adrenaline high, but imagine how much more character work, development and connection Gege could achieve if JJK was even 50 chapters longer than what it probably will be. I don't know if it's Gege's decision or maybe now it's just a fast car and he doesn't want to hit the brakes, but I would want him to just take a breather sometimes and explore a character more. I want to know more about Yuki her life abroad and her relationship with Todo. I want to see young Toji's life, his relationship with Megumi's mom, and more nuance to the Zenin clan. Also instead of Toji killing himself immediately after seeing Megumi he would talk to him. I understand the pragmatic reason why Toji killed himself immediately, but Gege writes the rules of how that works. I want that Sukuna flashback too see what experiences formed him into what he is. Hopefully we may still get that. If JJK did those things then it would take a manga I already love to new heights and undoubted S+ tier.

I think sukuna is a mirror of aizen on purpose. Their mystery and severity gives their impact. It's you wanting to know more that makes them cooler. I think if you explore sukuna or aizen more, it would take away from that crucial element. Characters like them aren't really meant to be explored as sometimes a villain is just that way. Sukuna is implied to have always been evil from the jump. Consumed his twin in the womb

[@nikjovan4816]

Bleach’s fights are another one of the several thousand reasons it’s my favorite animanga. I love the abilities so much as well as how they tie and incorporate into the characters thoughtfully and thematically. The fights don’t only boast beautiful art but even have so much poetic-ness to them. Ichigo becoming hollow to defeat the hollow Ulquiorra, Ichigo, a technical creation of Aizen, a part of his plan only to be the thing to foil his grand plan, the two Shinigami agents, one left in the dust, the other brought back to his feet by the same Shinigami as well as their connection to him, Kenpachi and his limits, breaking thru them each time, Komamura and distaste for vengeance only to fall to vengeance, and I can go on. This was a great idea for a video man 🔥

[@VET.INSTINCT]

Unohanas ideologies, comparing and parreling to kenpschis Aizem wanting to be understood and defeated, while also not diluting his character Also being a major plot point in taking down ywach the actual ending villain who also makes sense Still keeping both of there strength while not diluting either Making ywatvh stronger but aizen still broken with how his hypnosis works 😭 Kubo is a FUCKING GOAT

[@donsauyce9156]

I recently read Kyoraku vs Stark, and I noticed that while it didn’t feel super fast or anything and the choreography wasn’t in the weeds, the attacks and art felt striking and intrigued, bringing me in. It wasn’t a scrap but more like a spectacle. I even kinda noticed that when I watched a cut up version of Kenpachi vs Nnoitora. The attacks weren’t super complicated or in depth, but I was still drawn in by the characters and there presence I would say. To describe the difference, I’d say JJK fights are the flow of the battle and the story all those parts represent, while with bleach, each panel and strike is like a beat in the story

[@Honest_Mids_Masher]

The only issue is that it didn't look impressive to the point where people downplay how well the top 3 were doing I mean think about it Starrk fought 4 Captains 2 trained by Yamamoto and 2 Vizord Captains which is an extremely powerful boost and is more than what Ulqiora has done and yet people downplay Starrk for not making insanely big explosions or anything like that.

[@xcxmafai]

You not wrong I feel like the few times jjk did the is only with there main big fights like gojo vs sukuna or yuji vs a main villain but that’s it

[@atpr3241]

Ngl might be a skill issue cuz I generally follow fights pretty easy BUT Gege sometimes LOVES to get experimental at the expense of making a simple scene too technical. An example is something like Maki vs Sukuna where Maki slams against a wall knocking Sukuna back and the transfer of energy is portrayed through the outlet of the wall between the two of them. The paneling is verital and meant to be seemless but Gege often mixes up his paneling, so people don't always know what to look for. The manga is full of this stuff. I can follow most of it but other times, Gege's basically like "You're smart. Figure it out lolz".

[@faustoalmeida6464]

I agree with everything except one thing, I think bleach´s power system has just the right amount of complexity, kubo doesn´t give much away but that´s the beauty of it, you have to decipher things by yourself, and that aspect makes it enigmatic, certain powers and power-ups in bleach are very elaborate and the lore is so vast it makes it a wonderful experience to read. I don´t agree that the power system isn´t complex, the baseline of their powers might not be extremely complicated, but each character has a unique and puzzling specific power, that fact alone, for me, prompts the power system to be one of the best I have ever seen in animanga.

[@joelsasmad]

I think it is a personal taste thing. I like that JJK goes out of it's way to explain more of the power system. It also is enigmatic in its own ways as cursed energy is never stated to, but clearly shown to reward sorcerers who understand and embrace their own nature. This we see numerous instances of characters figuring things out and having breakthroughs as they come to better understand themselves, and see the mindset of the most talented sorcerers in the world who are self-absorbed monsters. In turn this ties into Yuji's own development and how he is finding his own path that isn't a total embrace of monstrosity.

[@MichaelisBLee]

@@faustoalmeida6464 For this same reason, Bleach has one of my favourite power systems. It's just so much more flexible for a battle shonen to develop its characters through battle. If your power is literally determined by one's own resolve, emotions, mentality and personality, the battles are just so much more interesting to watch as they develop. Shinigami train via understanding themselves through their zanpakuto and strengthening their relationship with it, thereby strengthening your relationship with yourself. The blade is me. Hollows evolve via asserting their dominance over others until they reach their pinnacle of peace. In Hueco Mundo, it's a dog eat dog world where one must always be able to justify its own existence, its ego, over another fellow hollow's existence. Quincies are based on human philosophers and scientists, focusing on the philosophy of "we kill god through knowledge". Their power comes the knowledge of developing new techniques and their fearlessness in encroaching on the natural order of the world, such as outright removing souls from the balance or even outright following the anti-Christ (Ywach being a dark version of Jesus). I will always say this, but Bleach cannot be looked at under a normal shonen lens, because its power system will always be reduced to "power levels" and factors from other shonen anime that do not apply to Bleach.

[@tenkuken7168]

They only got hax when they go to hueco mundo like aizens bankai is just broken af and kenpachi shikai can cut any hacks

[@usmansubhani7482]

I guess it depends on your taste. Gege made a system that’s easier to grasp with no mystery elements. Even the symbolism is used more like a tool than something that acts independently. Bleach’s power system has moving parts outside the characters. Like how Zanpakuto abilities aren’t chosen by their user. Sometimes it’s pure luck that someone survives with both Hollow and Spiritual Energy of a Shinigami. It allows for situations that a more thematically impactful rather than seeing the character’s skill.

[@SPLiT3y]

cant lie adding a narrator to most shows would enhance the depth of certain fights for sure, that point you brought up with naruto is a really good example. Imagine if during the madara v shinobi alliance fight we got a narrator explaining whats going on similar to gojo v the 1000 curses. maybe not the same mood but the same idea, to really grasp how dire and dramatic that part of the series was for not just madara but the people assisting the alliance.

[@Grayson-Winchester]

What good fights need are a good build up. The characters and their conflict get introduced earlier on to make the audience anticipated. It also needs a good reason for the characters to fight besides being a shonen series. Hisoka vs Chrollo is a prime example here

[@SparePencils]

Hisoka vs Gotoh. Really cool fight that happens out of two characters just crossing paths, and then a reminder of how much of a monster Hisoka actually is.

[@JB-ol3xo]

Kubo gets iconography in a way that some of the very best American comic artists do. Many of his fight panels look like the big full page spalsh images in something like a big DC crossover event. They feel like they're just about to burst off the page. At times the A to B minutiae of the action, that sense of flow you'd find in a JJK fight might get lost, but what you get in exchange is this relentless sense of just cool shit happening all the time.

Something that I feel people often don't realise about Bleach is how few attacks fights are finished in. Ichigo just hits Byakuya 4 times in their final fight and Aizen he only hits twice. This style makes every hit seem like a big deal and have impact. But it is also something that you don't see a lot in other series and that might turn some people off since they are more used to the kind of brawls you see in JJK.

[@xx-demon-akitsuha-xx]

RADMAN AND BR!?!?!? OOH THIS IS GOING TO BE GOOD!!! For me, I definitely prefer Jujutsu Kaisen's approach, largely due to my stance on the emotions behind fights. I feel that the emotions and themes of a fight should already be set up and present, or at the very least be able to quickly unfold into something we can get into (Sasuke vs Deidara comes to mind for the latter imo). This is going to be an insanely "duh" take, but if you are conveying stories, emotions, and themes through a fight scene, then it will be done through fighting, hence my preference for choreograhy. A fight being carried on emotions alone will not do it for, hence my dislike of One Piece fights for example. The emotions and themes should already be there, and your job as the author/artist is to convey that through choreography. In that regard, JJK fights are more up my alley for me. The complexities of cursed energy as a power system scratch that hyperfixation itch I constantly have since there are so many established possibilities that every character has access to (non-innate techniques, binding vows, etc.) that can come into play. Plus the characterisation that can come from non-dialogue options such as who does or does not have a domain, what the nature of their domain says about their inner self means that JJK can convey what it needs to without bloat or resorting to beam struggles, existing in that happy medium wher there are crazy attacks being thrown around but the raw hand-to-hand aspect is still jusr as, if not more viable. Plus Gege's more functional storytelling, whilst not perfect (Kashimo, Yuki, etc.), greatly benefits his fights, whereas Bleach has things like the basically every Arrancar minus the Espada or Grimmjow's Fraccion from the Night of Sledgehammer chapters that get boring with how much Kubo dwells on them, and even then neither of those groups are perfect in terms of their rosters and the fights they have. In retrospect, moments like Kira beheading the Arrancar that he fought or Iba berating Ikkaku for holding back in the pillar fights are really god damn good, but getting to them can be a slog that I dont enjoy subjecting myself to.

[@SamuelRondreigz4720]

My favorite jjk fights are legit any Yuji vs Mahito they are my FAVORITE characters in JJK along side Choso (rip my boi) and can't really say what my favorite fights in Bleach are because I haven't read or watched the series in the WHILE. The fights that stand out in the brain are Ichigo vs White Zangetsu and Ichigo vs any big bad antagonist, this is probably because I had to do a writing analysis on a series of my choice, chose Bleach, and my analysis kinda hinged on those fights. It's very interesting, I like the Bleach fights more because of what the character "embody" in the perspective of x characters that's fighting them + what it means for that character, but with JJK it's more about who's fighting who if I like them and the hype.

[@dennymanarus9742]

Gege shows in a logical and creative way which character is more skilled. There's no "embody" in it. Bleach really is a good anime but only for the early days

[@dennymanarus9742]

[@paledrake]

About the narrator thing, the reason why a lot of manga doesn't use it is because it tells and doesn't show, basically doing the opposite of what good storytelling is. Now it does work well in certain situations, like in Jojo I think it works wonderful, because not only does it fit the mood as a hype-man, but Jojo also goes balls to the wall almost constantly with stand-powers. Imo JJK usually don't have that many complex powers that need in-depth narrations and I generally thing when the narrator pops up and explains things it explains it so poorly that it confuses the audience instead. For example Yuji vs Choso had a lot of narration in the anime, but what was actually happening wasn't that complex, they just gave it really long-winded explanations and talked in circles. When it comes to Revealing Ones Hand the thing is we never see anyone's technique actually get stronger after they explain their power. It just feels like a cheap excuse rather than an implementation because we never see a difference in power before and after the explanation.

[@conic2721]

JoJo kinda NEEDS a narrator because not even the characters know what the fuck they're doing. Also the narrator amplifies it because it's genuinely hilarious most of the time

[@ithinkicanwrite]

Favourite JJK fight is Maki vs Naoya (part 2). Honestly I think it's super underrated. It's fast, important to the plot, important to the characters, fun, and just so well drawn!

Its always good & refreshing hearing Ronin & Radman talk about Bleach. I enjoy their individual channels.

[@soulholders]

The thing about the pacing difference is that they were written in two different eras, with two different sets of publication/audience expectations. Bleach was allowed to meander quite a bit, whereas now if a few chapters of a new manga are slow and unpopular SJ cancels the whole thing. At this point there's no way JJK would be cancelled but Gege couldn't take that risk back when the story should've still been building its characters organically. Also, since Bleach/Naruto/HunterxHunter already exists experienced audiences are less patient with new series since they've seen a lot of the same tropes before. So, Gege just skipped everything that could be called 'filler' like the audience (hypothetically) asked him to.

[@RioLatheri]

Missed a huge opportunity to talk about the conversation characters in jjk have through their fights especially in more recent chapters with sukuna kaisen, jjk is one of the biggest perpetrators of actions speak louder than words, hence the narrator has such a heavy role for the other more simple stuff he can’t just show

[@SeeZer0]

34:27 this can also be a said for one piece because of how much Oda does show but don’t tell for example Usopps lies in the beginning Arcs coming true or how much pain Luffy went through in Drum island just to cure nami which shows how much he cares for his crew (and yes I wanted to complete the big 3)

Like you all were aaying in the video both have something the pther doesnt and both are great at what they do. Kubo leaves a lot up to interpretation of the readers. He doesnt like to spell things out for us unless he has to.

[@notthesimi]

@@TSG_Froak filler is a issue for when it was coming out, and those who don’t that there is a website that shows canon, mixed canon, and filler. The arrancar arc is pacing nightmare in the anime , TYBW was a nightmare for manga readers. I don’t have a issue with jjk pacing. Not from the anime or from what I’ve read in the manga.

[@sargassod.d.3167]

One thing to mention about narration is that too much of it can really be annoying. A classic example is the Hunter X Hunter anime, where they spend so much time explaining character abilities and feelings that it just gets frustrating. It actually seems to get worse as the show goes on, especially in the chimera ant arc-there's just way too much explanation for things that should be obvious. On the flip side, JJK does a great job with narration; it sticks to just explaining character abilities without going overboard. And I have to say, I think the narrator in JJK is pretty cool-the old lady in the Japanese version has a haunting vibe that adds to the story. But back to bad narration: imagine if they took 15 minutes just to explain Hakari’s jackpot and then another 15 minutes on something else! A narrator can really make or break an anime or manga. For instance, Bleach doesn't rely on a narrator because everything is either clear or explained well enough that you can figure it out yourself. They sometimes do exposition dumps, which I’m fine with even if others aren't. But yeah, that's my take on it!

[@HBpenman]

I don't know if this makes sense, but JJK seems to have a much more focused narrative.

Best line from either series in the replies. In my opinion it's 'the only reason you were the strongest sorcerer in history is simply because i wasn't born yet' -Satorou Gojo Haven't seen bleach yet

[@Honest_Mids_Masher]

This isn't the best speech but me it's super iconic to the author's favorite character "The perfect being, huh? There is no such thing as perfect in this world. That may sound cliché, but it’s the truth. The average person admires perfection and seeks to obtain it. But, what’s the point of achieving perfection? There is none. Nothing. Not a single thing. I loathe perfection! If something is perfect, then there is nothing left. There is no room for imagination. No place left for a person to gain additional knowledge or abilities. Do you know what that means? For scientists such as ourselves, perfection only brings despair. It is our job to create things more wonderful than anything before them, but never to obtain perfection. A scientist must be a person who finds ecstasy while suffering from that antimony. In short, the moment that foolishness left your mouth and reached my ears, you had already lost. Of course, that’s assuming you are a scientist" - Mayuri Kurotsuchi

[@lizdevilz7271]

I feel like JJK fight is about pushing limits and face risk you can die anyday and that make fight felt more raw. While in Bleach, Most fights pretty much symbolism. It’s fight to learned other and fight to exchange heart. Fr example, When Ichigo fight Ulqiorra, It’s fight between Human who become monster to protect someone vs Monster who slowly learn about human. If I have to choose, I’d go with Bleach. I’ve more of symbolism guy.
