So I am basically still coming. Everywhere. Oh yes I am.
You know what, Kubo Tite?
I fucking love you.
Yeah. I do.
You can completely drown me in crack, boobs, YOUR OWN EPIC KUBOLDEGOOK LANGUAGE, boobs, nonsensical counting systems (314~ 315~ -108~), boobs, ARMZ, boobs, terrifying small children armed with noms and vomit, boobs, Jesus, boobs, Batman, and boobs, and I will still have two arms to flailing you. ♥
And shit like this chapter pretty much perfectly explains why.
Seriously.
This arc?
Has all but shounen-style canonised almost all of my biggest otps.
Yumichika/Ikkaku. (I SWEAR TO ALL THE JESII AND GOD AT HIS HIGH TEA, if anyone ever tries telling me that they are not at least one-sided canon now after the fight with Charlotte-chan and the whole pillar fiasco, I will take it upon myself to personally kill them like fuckin' tempest. Trufax.)
EIGHTH DIVISION EPIC PILE O' PORN.
And Vowels/Everyone. (The vowels top. Everyone. Obv.)
...
LMFAO A;DFHG KUBO. HAS SERIOUSLY. CANONISED. HIS OWN EPIC LOVE OF VOWELS.
I LOVE IT.
BUTBUTBUT THAT SAID OH MY FUCKING GOD A;DLFHGALD;FKJGADL;FKHSMASH.
L-LIIISA *A*;;;;;
Honestly? Honestly?
I am pretty sure she is in my top three in terms of favourite Bleach characters. Ever. (The other two being, of course, Yumichika and Urahara. ♥) I loved her from the word go (just...just because she had a sailor fuku and glasses and porn LMFAO SHUT UP >.>;;;;;;) and then there was the Pendulum arc and I legitimately fell in love with her and now there is all this and I am loving her more AND OKAY BASICALLY EVERYTHING SHE EVER DOES EVER MAKES ME WANT TO HIT IT EVEN HARDER HOORAY THE END.
And I could not have asked for a fucking better reunion scene my god. Okay well yes I could have because WHERE IS NANAO-CHAN I WANT MY EPIC EIGHTH DIVISION DOGPILE PORN GDI but! Barring that omgomg. Love. ♥
And the vizards in general holy fuckin' shit. ♥♥♥
See, I'll admit it. Crack aside, I am in this fandom for two things, and two things only.
One, Squad S&M.
And two, Team Exile.
PRIORITIES. ♥
And there is a reason for that.
As much as I really do love Steroidal Shounen Bullshit, aforementioned factions prove, at least to me, that Kubo can do more than that.
Yeah. You read that right. I included Division 11 in that statement. Or, well, at least Yumichika. Because really? Not only does Yumichika have an absolutely ridiculous amount of depth to his character that you wouldn't exactly expect beneath all the wriggling and glitter and gay (see: his reaction to Ikkaku's fight with Edorad, his reaction to Ikkaku's OSHT I JUST SMASHED A PILLAR OVER MY HEAD HAHAHA AM I HARDCORE YET U GUISE, Yumichika's own fight with Charlotte), but even while being a terrifyingly badass little bitch stranded upon the Aisle O' Powerups that is his division in the Sea O' Shounen that is Bleach, not only does he not power up, he refuses to so much as attack at even his current capacity, and purposely and actively limits himself so that said capacity will be lowered, all for rather heartbreaking reasons that tie right back into aforementioned depth of character.
DO YOU HAVE ANY IDEA HOW AMAZING THAT IS, CONSIDERING??? O________o;;;;;;
And then we have the Vizards.
aka The Faction That Actually Sort of Makes Some Measure Logical Sense WTF I Thought I Was Reading Bleach.
They were introduced for a perfectly logical, plot-based reason. (ie, they are not your typical CRAP PLOT GOES WHERE PLOT GOES WHERE WHAT DOES THAT THERE WORD EVEN MEAN IDK WHAT TO DO NEXT OHAI I'LL JUST THROW IN 394867243 MORE CHARACTERS FOR ABSOLUTELY NO APPARENT REASON AND THEN ALL MY PROBLEMS WILL BE SOLVED! Kubotastic fair.) They have a logical, wonderfully fleshed out backstory, that not only progresses the plot as well but that also helps to develop quite a few other characters in the bargain. (ie, they are not the Soul Society, the mechanics of which STILL have not been properly fleshed out and explained, y'know, some three hundred and sixty-five chapters later tyvm Kubo.) And now that they're being RE-introduced into the plot?
THAT MAKES SENSE TOO.
To be fair, the individual Vizards themselves fit right fuckin' in with the rest of the cast -- Shinji is...Shinji, Lisa's nymphotastic obsession with porn is rivalled only by Kensei's TATTOOING A GIANT 69 ALL OVER HIS GD TORSO, Love cannot seem to tell the difference between the Soul Society and the Soul Train, Mashiro manically rolls around and sleepgropes herself and morphs into a bug -- but as a collective unit? They just...they work. (And not to mention, their bond and the way they all seem to functional as a little family unit just wins me over even more.)
And so these latest chapters?
STILL CREAMING SELF BRB
And in the meantime, I shall leave you with this.
