Tite Kubo (Artist Analysis)

[@cronosnow6284]

Kubo's style is the perfect blend between realism and cartoony. Often mangakas would lean towards one, but Kubo blends both which makes his art style so unique and cool.

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

The perfect blend of cool and stylish.

Of the big 3(naruto, one piece), Kubo draws the hardest looking poses, hes so good at drawing badass poses from solos, group shots, swordfight poses and bankai reveals. Tite and kishimoto(naruto) styles are kinda similiar but i argue kubos is cleaner and has much more flair, kishimoto on the other hand does great action sequences and combat scenes. Plus tite kubos use of pitch black space is unparalleled

[@ArcanNight]

Thanks for featuring my favorite mangaka among the big three! Kubo's eye for design and style is unparalleled and is a big inspiration for me as a beginner artist.

10:11 That panel here pretty much shows the Hiyori-Shinji relationship with her first introduction. She is shown standing with her legs outside of the box on top of Shinji's head, who is bent. There's a lot of nuances in Kubo's drawing that may be missed if you take it as a simple drawing, and not a part of the visual storytelling

[@m0ckyzo185]

10:11 its character writing. Hiyori, as a person, demands a dominating presence wherever she goes. So much so, in fact, that everything in the background is drowned out by her sudden apperance, and she will literally *stand ontop of* anything that tries to steal her spotlight(in this case, Shinji)

[@linnedarinne]

I really love his fashion sense and composition. Something tells me that Kubo would make really good album covers. Great video as always.

[@Hagosha]

Kubo did confirm he's been messing with digital around 2 years ago. His improvement with the tools was insanely fast.

[@yeonbibi191]

I'm really fascinated with details, so seeing Kubo's input into his character's clothes was a feast for the eye, especially the printed designs and patterns he chose, their clothes looks like you can touch the fabric and feel the prints

[@yeonbibi191]

11:18 I love that spread, with them walking together while the poll result was posted above, it really gives the idea that Ichigo and the gang are actors that just received their awards

[@maximilianosanchez1106]

14:35 Masashi Kudo is the anime's character designer, Tite Kibo designed the Zanpakuto spirits (among others designs) and Masashi Kudo adapted then into characters sheet for the animators to animate.

[@LiiiiiiMa]

I cannot express how thankful I am for this video! I was obsessed with Bleach for most of my teens and experiencing kind of a renaissance now as an adult, with the anime coming back. And what has stayed with me throughout the years is Kubos excellent art, so thanks a lot for putting a spotlight on it!

[@Seekerforever]

Thankyou tite Kubo. Ur manga bring jot to my life.

[@giulyanoviniciussanssilva2947]

Easiest the best character design of jump, a monster with a pen. People say that he doesn't design scenarios, my friend with this stylish and worked design, I didn't design scenarios anymore and Kubo draws wonderful places.

[@silentsapienplayz]

i unironically love that over time your analysis vids have gotten clearly longer and more in depth from like 5 minutes to now 20+

[@georgewatson3682]

This kind of content is what the bleach community appreciates. A wholesome overview of the abilities of our beloved artist. As an avid "Bleach" viewer and reader I witnessed the evolution of Kubo-sensei's abilities first hand. It's one of the reasons why I love the series so much. It's his work that inspired be to become a manga writer so I could weave my own elaborate story for people to become entwined and involved in! How his youthful admiration for his characters evolved into a whole hearted attempt to gove each character their own vitalities!

[@blakers11]

Mr Tommo definitely is debatably the most knowledgeable bleach fan I have ever seen

Amazing video! I took several notes on his art style, and I think I might start reading the manga or watch the anime. Also, I was wondering if you’ve looked at any of the TYPE MOON/Fate series artists such as Takeshi Takeuchi or Hirokazu Koyama. They obviously fit into a more anime style than a lot of the other artists you’ve showcased so far, but I’m interested in seeing what takeaways you could glean from their artworks.

[@beatrixkaelin5120]

Regarding the Zanpakuto Spirits in the Filler Arc, the majority were made by the Animators with oversight by Kubo, but several were already designed by Kubo (He did Zabimaru's humanoid form in an omake, and Kazeshini's was a sketch included in a tokuban. So it's a Little more of A, Little bit of B. But in regards to the Speed Blitzing behind, that's a Shinigami habit. Rukia told Ichigo that Shinigami tend to attack from behind so they don't see the face of the person who became the Hollow. So besides the battle tactic of "Yes hit the opponent from behind they have a more difficult time of retaliating," there is a story bit for that. And the Arm cutting off thing? Since they're relying on literal swords to cut each other to pieces, instead of Fists like the other two of the Big Three and even DBZ, Jojo, and many more Manga, Swords tend to... you know, cut things off. So strikes that have partial damage have to be at thicker spots which are harder to destroy, like shoulders stomachs across the chest. Also, beyond the natural Battle Tactic of "Cut off their arm, they can't retaliate" it's a way to have a back and forth that's more than just getting tired.

[@beshoyyoussef2814]

Personally out of the big 3, I feel like Kubo has the best realism character designs and he knows how to convey tone PERFECTLY with contrasts, blank spaces, eyes, rain, and the characters body language. Where Kubo drops the ball though is backgrounds… One piece (Oda) has the best backgrounds and environmental art out of everyone in the Big 3. He has CREATIVE character design, but my personal taste doesn’t like it and it often times feels cartoony. Oda definitely has mastered environmental art, but where he drops the ball and so does Kubo is in their fight choreography With One Piece, Oda sometimes makes it hard to know when a character is using a certain type of Haki, and he keeps most fights mid to far range fights and not hand-to-hand. Of course that’s bc luffy is a rubber man so he stretches making fights longer-range. Still tho. With Bleach the fights can sometimes be very very hard to follow as speed blitz makes it hard to keep up. Kishimoto (Naruto) is the artist that excels in hand to hand combat. Fights are very easy to follow in naruto and the choreography feels like ur watching a martial arts battle go down with every panel. In my personal opinion the weakest artist is kishimoto but don’t hate me. That’s my opinion. I love his choreography but the characters have no design at all and wear the same outfits 90% of the time between each time skip. The designs almost feel flat to me.

[@elbravovierde8010]

Man you're artist analysis are one of the bests I've seen here on youtube!! Not to jump out on baseless conclusions, but as an aspiring mangaka myself. The "lack" of scenery, enviroments or whatever in Bleach. Does not bother me at all!! Kubo are telling an engaging story (mostly in Arrankar's Saga, my favorite) and the enviroments are necessary to help the setting and all that jazz. But they are not at the centerstage. I think that Kubo was not trying to show off how he is great at drawing everything! Telling a good story is not all about showing off. But express your true intentions by your art a narrative. So this never bothers me. But I must say that thee story itself has it's fair share of inconsistence throughout. (Like Ichigo having the powers of each "race" and everything) and this is most visible in the weak arc called FULLBRINGER, but aside that, He, Kubo brings so much to the table!! Bleach is one of my favorites!! ( Sadly not in my top 7, because I am not too keen on " The Sword style" anime, I prefer martial arts) But man. What an amazing job you are doing! Keep on the good work!! Glad to know your chanel!! ( And you deserve to SKYROCKET, at least more 100K subscribers do make justice to the quality of your content!!)
