The STRONGEST Character in Bleach EXPLAINED!

[@smalltalkgaming]

You’re almost correct. The act of splitting up the soul king was called “the original sin” where the heads of 4/5 of the noble clans were afraid of the soul king and wanted his power. The shiba family head offered himself in place of the soul king, but the soul king willingly let them split him up.

Correction. Only the shiba ancestor worried about the hollows. The other noble ancestors had different goals. Kuchiki wanted order . Shioin (can't spell) wanted a cycle of reincarnation to bring progress. The unknown ancestor wanted to close up the pit of chaos called hell. Tsunayashiro feared the power of the SK . Shiba wanted to purify the hollows. Then they teamed up

small correction, Reishi that quincies absorbs as their power and reishi that can manipulate as their power did not come from the Reio. Reishi is particle that comes up everything in the bleach cosmology. in CFYOW it was never implied that the Reio created the primordial world, what he did is he divided the primordial world into multiple worlds that is now we call the bleach universe. so the concept of Reishi was already there even before the SK came to existence it was never part of him.

[@TrueMeKazik]

Also, Soul King did not divide primordial world by himself. Five noble houses did that (using SK powers ofc, but still). If I grab your hand and move it in a way, it end up hitting you in the face, we can't really say, you yourself hit yourself in the face. I did that.

[@EvilM0nkeyRules]

Fun fact. The Tickets Shusui was going to give to ichigos friends to go see him was because If The soul king was Killed or removed they were gonna need Ichigo to become to the new soul King. Meaning he could never visit the world of the living again

[@rufarokembo]

they didnt just team up... the soul kings was trying to protect human souls but he was destroying the balance of that world so the ''powerful beings'/clan head ancestors' decided the world needs to be split up, fulfilling the requests of each of the clan heads whilst simultaneously creating the cycle of souls and a stable system. The soul king was also only willingly incapacitated because they feared his strength but he was needed to create and to stabilize the system they created.

the rushed finish of bleach was mainly due to Kubo's health issues than the jump editors. he's said so himself that they really tried to help him out.

[@JxFTW]

exactly... plus it wouldn't make sense to keep investing in Kubo (for BTW & the new Hell Arc) if they wanted him to "end the series" due to "popularity issues"... also it seems like now Kubo is in full control of the work he wants to put out, which is pretty much a good thing for Kubo fans knowing he's comfortable cooking up his series.

[@overlookingview5621]

Doesn't change the fact that he got treated like ass by Jump. He had severe health issues but he also was forced to end the story. But we'll see it expanded in the anime so its good in the end.

[@overlookingview5621]

@@JxFTW The "popularity issues" I think you got confused with the anime, which was debunked because the anime reached the manga, but instead of making an entire new filler arc like it was usually done they just ended the show and greenlit it back in 2017.

That backstory needs a retcon. 1 million years is implausible. It would have been much more realistic if it was only 2000 years. And i prefer it if the soul king himself was just a human as well, or more accurately a quincy, rather then emerging out of necessity. You run into a conundrum where now you need god to create god because who determines that necessity? Also, how was YHVH born if the soul king was already sealed? The chronology is a little bit messed up. The zoroastrians once claimed that zoroastor lived over 10,000 years ago. Perhaps the sternritter were that zealotous that they rewrote their own history, much like other fanatics often do.

[@Zanodia]

So I had this dream that Aizen released his Bankai and ascend into heaven with don't kind of trident artifact. Angels started swarming him with swords and spears but we was determined to ascend. The clouds fell from the heavens and enveloped the soul society as angels deemed everyone a threat and started slaughtering everyone that couldn't defend themselves.
