First of all don't get me wrong I LOVE like crazy.

The one distinct feature that Naruto has and Bleach does not is the character development. There isn't as much character development in Bleach compared to Naruto.

What we see with Ichigo is nearly stale character that does not change in his maturity over time.
Naruto grows up from being a complete idiot to being someone who knows how to use his brain in battle. You also see his surrounding companions grow up along with him. That character development + the time as you grow up watching this makes it one of the most memorable anime. He fails and tries again. You don't see that as much in Bleach.

I'm not crazy about either tbh. I don't hate them or think they're anywhere as bad as other people say but they're not great, even in comparison to other Shounen Jump long-runners.
Honestly, I put the big three all on the same level in terms of story, characters and plot overall. No one is really better than the other since they all invoke the same feelings- for me at least.

If I had to pick one however, it'd most definitely be Bleach. It has better character designs, music and fights and Ichigo is nowhere near as annoying as Naruto and Luffy (I do like Luffy but sometimes his stupidity is grating as hell). I also think Rukia is a better heroine than Sakura.

Bleach is pretty much a double-edged sword though because it has/had potential to be insanely good, but that potential doesn't seem to be fully realised, even early on (I dropped it around the Soul Society arc). I think giving Ichigo a solid goal, or doing something with Aizen- maybe some moral ambiguity- would've done wonders for the story.

I might actually try to watch it again though if I'm in the mood for a long-running series though. I just don't think Tite Kubo's style suits long-running series, Bleach would've been much better if it were half the length it actually is.

In fact, very few series get away with being long and not doing really anything to develop their casts throughout the overarching plot. Only stuff like Gintama and JoJo can do that, and they get leeway because they're episodic and generational. You really can't introduce a huge story line and adventure that lasts ages, yet gives no payoff in way of conclusion or characters. You'll leave your audience behind and I'm pretty sure that's why Bleach gets so much stick.

On the flip side, not all character development is good development. I absolutely hate it when an annoying asshat of a character has a really tragic past as if to justify their actions. It'd be much more interesting if that wasn't the case- kind of like Bakugou from My Hero Academia or Meruem from HxH.

All in all though, I'd still take Bleach over Naruto.

@Manaban
Literally I don't think it's that hard. I think one show is better for my own reasons and literally it's opinionated like I said. I don't think anything is objectively "Good" I really think quality is in the eye of the viewer. Viewers see things and depending on them might appreciate or dislike it.
I don't like how @Darek is acting like i'm ignorant for bringing up subjectivity. I'm not saying that I can't be wrong because it's my opinion, but more or so I either disagree with the counter-points or I think so because of these reasons and @Darek seems to not know what i'm talking about when discussing the events transpiring in the series.
When saying that something I don't like is trash is because of an ego is ignorant of the person themselves. People don't like ideas either because it's bad or just something about it they don't like.
It's simple as that and I don't like shows because I find them bad in my own opinion, but if someone said it was good and have their own reason then I can understand why they find it good.
Thats subjectivity literally one stating how they feel as we come from different places and have different ideas and different desires.

I bring up Subjectivity because this is literally my opinion and some people may not find a problem with what I have an issue with and it is a personal issue as literally thats apart of the point, but to separate "Personal Issues" and "Flaws" is just ignorant. What the fuck is a flaw then? I need to know.

To be honest, I don't really care about your reasons for liking one show I've just recently started and another I haven't even seen. I also don't care much about your argument with Darek. I just don't like that argument so I challenged it.

I'm definitely not going to side with somebody who tried to counter an argument with "it's just my opinion," though, if I can be honest. That's not even really much of anything and if your response is just going to be something dismissing a counter argument because of what's a pretty clearly discernible fact that it's just your opinion, then I don't know why you even tried to put it out there on a discussion board, frankly. No shit, it's your opinion. Your opinion isn't special and it can be challenged once you put it out there in public to be discussed. I don't see how that's relevant.

I think Darek was pretty spot on initially about your arguments in the OP essentially being that "Bleach does things differently, but it just so happen that I like this different more so it is obviously better." and that basically being a non-criticism. Your ideas were just saying things like "Bleach is more mature so it has to be better." Then you tried to counter that with a line from your OP about how "it's all opinionated" or whatever, so your counter-argument really was kind of...what you're telling me it's not right now.

I just didn't care about the discussion you want to have about both series because actually discussing either of those series is pretty much currently beyond my grasp. I've seen 20 episodes of Bleach and a whopping 0 of Naruto. Once it became a matter of being able to separate enjoyment from quality, I've actually got thoughts on that, so I joined in.

First of all Naruto's character development? What they did was use characters they never actually put attention on and then bring up random flashbacks and expects you to care.
Like Choji when fight Edo Tensei Asuma since they didn't build up their relationship in Part 1 what they did was use Flashbacks in part 2 that go back to Part 1 and you think "When did this happen"
Also the flashbacks were funny as hell as they are always sad backstories over stupid sh*t.
Choji AGAIN! His in part 1 when fighting one of the sound 4 was because he was bad at hide & seek

While in Bleach this "No-Character Development" series had Byakuya fight Ichigo and after Byakuya admitted defeat stated he made promises with his dead parents and his wife
Which conflicts with each other

1. Which his dead parents told him to follow the rules
2. His dead wife who is the sister of Rukia wanted him to protect Rukia

Ichigo told Byakuya this classic line "I'll just do what I feel is right"
And Byakuya just thought about that....They had a conversation and Ichigo ain't shame him as Ichigo understood where he was coming from.
Byakuya then protects Rukia from dying.....

But hey that isn't character development

I don't know much about either series and I don't really have any opinion on what you're trying to tell me here and I won't have one until I've actually seen the two series. I only recently started Bleach because I found a nice NSFW pic of Orihime that I really liked, and I haven't even seen anything of Naruto. I can't really get into a meaty of a discussion about either series specifically, I can only join in the commentary that started your argument with Darek since it was largely out of the confines of discussion related to those two specific series.

Not really what I want to focus on. I hear that all the time and I could make a easy theory.

Most people watched the anime of both series and not the manga at the time. Bleach was full of filler that happened at the most inconvenient time. I never understand why no one really brings up the filler when they were watching both.
I watched both series skipping filler so I'm judging both for what it's worth, but many here were watching it weekly possibly

I am hearing stupid BS instead of actual points that could explain the loss of enjoyment.
The criticism of Bleach is people trying to limit what you can do in a story, but really the ideas and concepts such as a Main Character with a goal isn't necessarily a bad thing it's all how it's executed.

Gon found Ging...Now what? HXH should end because HXH is all about Gon finding Ging...WRONG!
HXH is about a world full of Hunters and the adventures of Gon, Killua or anyone there.
Thats literally a plot.
It's like Keijo when people said it had no plot, but literally the MC is there to become a profressional and thats the plot

I swear it's really petty

Calm down there buddy... I didn't actually read the whole thing, but seeing you rebating every argument with such a high "passions" make it seems like bleach is entirely better..
I actually really love Bleach too, until the ending came..
And from my opinion itself:
Bleach > Naruto
In term of overall characters.
But, I can't agree to this one:

Halpher said:


Did you not read my OP? Do you not understand the intentions of this?

So being Useless = Bad Character?
Orihime IS A HEALER! SHE ISN'T A FIGHTER!
Also Bleach was going somewhere.


You can't use the reason "she is a healer"
For this. Because Sakura IS ALSO a HEALER. Yet she have the power to at least protect herself in the second half.

And Naruto > Bleach
In term of story progression. It end where it has to end. No cliffhanger nor complicated end.

Of course it's all MY VERY HUMBLE OPINION

I appreciate your honest and humble responses. I want you to draw your own conclusions, but I said in the OP there was more, but I felt this was getting to long.

I could've talked about the lack of World Building Naruto had as it's literally about Ninjas traveling. I could talk how Naive Naruto's ideas were and how experienced Ninjas were kissing his ass despite the idea being stupid.
All this goes into Naruto being immature, but I have seen immature stuff and it really made sense of it's immaturity, but Naruto didn't...it tried to pass it off as reasonable or realistic that everyone holding hands, screaming peace and not dealing with threats that put everyone at harm is "Deep"
I found it stupid.

Sasuke is a Rogue...why would the Leaf Village war over a Rogue who has been affiliated with a organization that has attacked a village you are in a alliance with?
Why would the Sand not chase down the people who killed their leader with the Leaf?

The Leaf were chasing the Akatsuki down and the Sand didn't help them even though THEY WENT AND INFILTRATED THE SAND AND ATTACKED THEIR LEADER AND WON INFRONT OF EVERYONE IN THE VILLAGE AND THE VILLAGE DIDN'T HELP HIM (They did in the anime, but not the manga) and in the anime they were useless, but props to the anime for trying.
The 3rd Hokage got killed by Orochimaru and The Leaf didn't hunt Orochimaru down and raid his ass

Instead they do nothing and he is allowed back in the village.......
I swear to god this shit is fucking stupid and Naruto tries to be philosophical hence why maturity plays a big factor because the ideas it has are naive and one-sided
instead of exploring multiple views to it, but thats just me.

Dude ichigo became OP AF. It made every other character feel completely useless, that is not good story telling. Bleach has flaws stop trying to make Bleach sound like a damn masterpiece when it's not. Did I enjoy watching it? yea. Would I rewatch it again, yea. Is it a masterpiece? No. Oh and let's not forget about the actual ending of bleach. You cant seriously think that half baked ending was good?

I can use Orihime is a Healer as Orihime can't choose what Power she'll have. Orihime is human and humans in Bleach are inferior to Soul Reapers.
Sakura in Naruto chose to be a ninja...it's all about "Context" Sakura chose to be a ninja and be useless many times and stupid knowing that ninjas put their life on the line.
If Sakura chose to be a medical corp and was only a healer I wouldn't be mad actually because she is a healer...

However the Show LIKE I SAID wants to hype her up as a legendary ninja
Bleach didn't do that to Orihime

Please scroll up and read my other replies because your reply here is so unaware of so much.
For the 5th time...and you ignored my reply like entirely and focused on the fact i'm defending it. I never said Bleach was a masterpiece and I even stated in this forum that I had issues with it, but you ignored that.
I didn't finish Bleach as i'm around Chapter 600 and I had issues with it, but again the forum is literally Bleach > Naruto as I'm making a case that Bleach is better.
No one here addresses the criticisms directed at Naruto, but focus on coming at Bleach.

I literally stated that Filler could be a factor. Also every other character is useless?
Have you seen Yammato? Have you seem Gremy? Have you seen Aizen?
Ichigo I don't know how strong he is yet as I haven't seen, but literally other characters weren't even useless from where I am.

Tell me what Character is useless except the Main-Cast Sado
because Chad as a reply stated did become irrelevant and Orihime who again isn't a fighter and i say that because of context comparing Sakura to her.
Also it ties into character as Orihime didn't choose to become a Ninja, but Sakura did.
Orihime tried to train and her powers were new and no one knew what her power was and how it worked.
Orihime and Chad's powers weren't something that many understood as Aizen saw it was something more. Unohana said the same thing.
Orihime never liked a guy who tried to fucking kill her twice and make babies with him. She liked a guy who gave his brother peace.
Orihime wouldn't want to become a ninja anyway while Sakura did even qualified and attacking people for being stupid while not looking at herself and literally willing to put herself through danger for a cry she only likes because he is cool.
I swear to god people don't understand the difference and why I hate Sakura and don't have a problem with Orihime.

But seriously what Character was useless? Everyone was useless against Aizen and even Ichigo was about to fucking lose and to this day many loved that Aizen vs Ichigo fight as that isn't negating what you said.

I have many shows that I like more than Bleach and Bleach isn't perfect, but it's better than Naruto which is point

Bleach is the best Shounen series. None of the fights in DBS and all other Shounen series matches the intensity and sense of actually being there at the scene of battle ( 臨場感 ) then Bleach. Particularly Ichigo VS Ulquiorra, it had some very good camera angles and sense of speed while fighting, thus showing the intense desperation of Ichigo trying to fend off the much superior opponent.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

It's called being bias.

Having an unknown power and not know how it works is called asspull power. It becomes convenient when needed because it can literally do anything the author wants with it, which is clearly shown being the strongest plot armor as she can reverse all damage done to the point of restoring limbs and healing near dead people. Sakura isn't plot armor broken like her with her heals.

Both characters whine and cry, please don't act as if Orihime doesn't.

Orihime didn't choose to be a ninja? What? Then enlighten me why she chose to go with Ichigo at all in the first place knowing full well she didn't have the capabilities to fight? That's because she choose to it. She chose her path as did Sakura. Please try again.

And before you start assuming shit about me, I preferred and rated Bleach higher than Naruto. It's just the crap you're spouting is so contradicting, it hurts to read.

@Darek

Hm. When you started rattling off about separating quality from enjoyment, I assumed you were following what seems to be the critical consensus of what's good or not and then just vacantly applying that to whatever, so a lot of my arguments were rooted in that assumption.

What metric you use to determine whether or not something's "quality," then? How do you go about mitigating your own bias in your assessments to be fair? If you're not using the measurements I've seen people like Fvl or whoever apply to pretty much everything they come across, then what are you using?

Bleach would've been better if it could have improved itself and the story with character motivation towards Ichigo and a goal possibly. Naruto does fall, it genuinely stumbles pretty damn hard in it's second half but it stays on a level of OKAY while Bleach just fumbles and doesn't even attempt to finish the story it planned or any of the ideas it desired to finish. Not even the basic but genius idea of the bankai gets worked out.

It's a really old topic dude, it's probably time to move on from Bleach and Naruto. Heck Japan has mostly already forgotten all about them.

I am sorry but i don't even need to read this (edit: even though i did) to state how wrong you are. out of every big name of the shounen world out there (one piece, naruto, hunter x hunter, fairy tail and so on) bleach is by far the worst. the reason for this is that it manages to pull off more ridiculous deus ex machinas than fairy tail with it's friendship power bullcrap. However, fairy tail is funny and self-aware of it's lack of seriousness, that makes the nakama power-ups worth for at least a good laugh. The arc where Inoue is kidnapped is the only one worth watching, and only because Inoue adds some interesting tension on that part. The rest is just bad, including fights. My final take on this is: Just watch One Piece.

Also it ties into character as Orihime didn't choose to become a Ninja, but Sakura did.
Orihime tried to train and her powers were new and no one knew what her power was and how it worked.
Orihime and Chad's powers weren't something that many understood as Aizen saw it was something more. Unohana said the same thing.
Orihime never liked a guy who tried to fucking kill her twice and make babies with him. She liked a guy who gave his brother peace.
Orihime wouldn't want to become a ninja anyway while Sakura did even qualified and attacking people for being stupid while not looking at herself and literally willing to put herself through danger for a cry she only likes because he is cool.
I swear to god people don't understand the difference and why I hate Sakura and don't have a problem with Orihime.


It's called being bias.

Having an unknown power and not know how it works is called asspull power. It becomes convenient when needed because it can literally do anything the author wants with it, which is clearly shown being the strongest plot armor as she can reverse all damage done to the point of restoring limbs and healing near dead people. Sakura isn't plot armor broken like her with her heals.

Both characters whine and cry, please don't act as if Orihime doesn't.

Orihime didn't choose to be a ninja? What? Then enlighten me why she chose to go with Ichigo at all in the first place knowing full well she didn't have the capabilities to fight? That's because she choose to it. She chose her path as did Sakura. Please try again.

And before you start assuming shit about me, I preferred and rated Bleach higher than Naruto. It's just the crap you're spouting is so contradicting, it hurts to read.



*sigh*
I keep saying context.
Ichigo cried, Killua cried, Many Characters cry, but it’s not that they cry that annoy me it’s the context and I have kept stating this.
Call me bias I don’t care I understand why I prefer Orihime over Sakura

Orihime did agree to go with Ichigo
But they all knew she was the healer and anyone that says that Sakura is to is ignoring circumstances

Sakura literally was built up to be something bigger than a Healer as so as Tsunade
Orihime went with Ichigo to Help in the process of rescuing Rukia

Orihime was training at the beginning of the Arrancar arc and before she could do anything was interrupted by Aizen being interested in her power.
No one as I said again training her understood her power.

Orihime was crying BECAUSE ICHIGO FUCKING DIED
HIS DEAD FUCKING BODY WAS INFRONT OF HER

Sakura cried for a guy who ain’t treat do shit for her
It’s called context

I don’t hate characters who cry
As the context really shows off how a character’s character really is.
Orihime had to constantly watch Ichigo get hurt
Die TWICE!

Get out of here

Infact in the Soul Society Arc
She cried because she wished she could’ve done more to help as she saw Ichigo do alot

It’s the context
And whats next?
Orihime and Sakura aren’t the same character
Orihime is more clumsy and innocent and kind
While Sakura is more hot-boiled like Kushina

I never seen Orihime fight Rukia even though she was jealous of her of how she affected Ichigo
She still respected Rukia
She still was kind to Rukia
She still appreciated Rukia for helping Ichigo

You keep thinking the crying is what dictates a character
It’s how they interact to others
React in situations
And they present themselves

Orihime is literally not bad at all
I keep hearing shes useless
When she’s literally a Healer

It’s like Squad 4 in Bleach who suck at Combat, but specialize in Healing
If I see one on the battlefield
I don’t expect them to win a fight and I won’t call them useless because literally the show isn’t telling me anything else, but their healers

It’s like the medical corp in Naruto

Tsunade was Hokage she was held to a higher standard
Naruto expected me to believe that Tsunade could really do shit to Madara
If someone sent a healer and the healer couldn’t heal I’ll call them useless
If Sakura is supposef to be this legend like the next Tsunade
She has to do more than heal
And Sakura even if she was useful
Is still a shitty character to me because theres more to it than power
It’s character
She was a bitch to Naruto
She hindered the Team

In Part 2 she got stronger as she did show great things in the Kazekage arc healing Kankuro
And making an antidote against a poison
She in the Sasuke retrieval healed Naruto, but when in the 5 Kage Summit she was all on this Sasukr bullshit
Her character was annoying

When she punched Naruto in the head after HE FOUGHT PAIN THE MAN WHO DESTROYED YOUR VILLAGE
WE GOT PROBLEMS!
WHEN MARRIES THE CRIMINAL WHO TRIED TO KILL YOU
TWICE
MAKE BABIES WITH HIM

YOU A BEYOND STUPID
WHEN YOU ACT LIKE YOU CAUGHT UP TO NARUTO AND SASUKE JUST CUZ U GOT A DIAMOND ON YOUR FOREHEAD
I DIE LAUGHING
WHEN YOU GOT KAKASHI TRYING TO DEFEND HER TO SASUKE SAYING SHE LOVED YOU....
I CAN’T!

She was willing to go rogue for Sasuke
She was willing to leave the village with him at the end of the series

For the love of god
Tell me what interaction between her and Sasuke happened to have this make sense?
Because I seen Naruto and there was none in Part 1
And Sasuke was never with her in Part 2

Sakura is trash
Orihime isn’t even like this yet the hate is confusing
All I hear is “Kurosaki Kun” and “Useless”
AND ICHIGO IS GETTING HIS ASS DESTROYED!

WHAT DO YOU EXPECT HER TO DO AGAINST A ARRANCAR WHO IS OP AS SHIT!?

You clearly need to set your priorities straight since the reason you hate one character is the same reason you like the other. The amount of nitpicking you're doing is basically that of a blind fanboy trying to justify his favorites by looking down and turning a blind eye to any kind of fact.

Calm down there buddy... I didn't actually read the whole thing, but seeing you rebating every argument with such a high "passions" make it seems like bleach is entirely better..
I actually really love Bleach too, until the ending came..
And from my opinion itself:
Bleach > Naruto
In term of overall characters.
But, I can't agree to this one:


You can't use the reason "she is a healer"
For this. Because Sakura IS ALSO a HEALER. Yet she have the power to at least protect herself in the second half.

And Naruto > Bleach
In term of story progression. It end where it has to end. No cliffhanger nor complicated end.

Of course it's all MY VERY HUMBLE OPINION



I can use Orihime is a Healer as Orihime can't choose what Power she'll have. Orihime is human and humans in Bleach are inferior to Soul Reapers.
Sakura in Naruto chose to be a ninja...it's all about "Context" Sakura chose to be a ninja and be useless many times and stupid knowing that ninjas put their life on the line.
If Sakura chose to be a medical corp and was only a healer I wouldn't be mad actually because she is a healer...

However the Show LIKE I SAID wants to hype her up as a legendary ninja
Bleach didn't do that to Orihime
wait, did you forgot that Orihime's six flower petals does have a very useful attack power? Yet she is trapped in "hurting others" complex. So she is also not entirely a healer just like Sakura.
And if it's about context, then Orihime is also the same.. She chose to get involved in shinigami's affairs, and in the end became a drag at some point.

And about the show.. I don't know about it because I didn't feel it. Since if I heard "legendary ninja in Naruto", then my mind would go to either Hashirama or Madara himself instead of Sakura.. Lol XD


I'm starting to get embarrassed by my own forum signature line.. XD

So you’re using Orihime’s attack as some sort of way to say she isn’t entirely a healer?
When has her six petals done anything? Tell me...
Thats just being petty to find any offense and call her more than a healwr
And you’re focused on this even though I stated way much more than this.
Rin and Sakura are different

Rin is a healer, but she is a liability as we know shes the medic as the show pushes, but even it just makes me question why Healers are there in war if they are such a liability
It doesn’t make me hate Rin
More of the Leaf

Also Rin still became a ninja and she isn’t ready for hand-to hand combat

I think why the Leaf think it’s a great idea to have a Healer who isn’t specialized in combat to be involved?

And before Sakura is mentioned
The Series tried to play her to be bigger than something she isn’t
She has different standards than Orihime
Thats why she has different standards
It’s like how Madara is played up to be a god, but instead of being OP he is weak
Compared to little Naruto who is at 1st weak, but no one had an issue because the show didn’t pretend he was a God yet.

It’s callec Context

Origime is literally a healer
While Sakura is supposed to the next Tsunade
Who can heal, but do other shit

No one sees Tsunade losing to Asuma
Because Tsunade is a “Legendary Sannin”
My god it’s not that hard

Like seriously
Leaf has healers, but none of them are hyped up as Sakura

Ichigo needs to learn bankai. For everyone else it would take ten years. However, the guy with the hat conveniently knows of a way to learn it in a weekend, and he conviniently never told anyone about it before. why? because the main characther had never showed up until then! and so Ichigo learns bankai in a weekend for the very convinient reason that he is the main character. I remember that they try to add some kind of a drawback to it, like "if you use this method some shit might happen", but to Ichigo, it doesn't. Why? Because he is the main character. There are abuses of the mc privilege like that in every main arc of bleach, but i'm gonna go ahead and jump to my favorite one: The last getsuga tenshou deus ex machina. Ichigo is on his way to fight Aizen, he is with some guy i don't remember (his father?). The guy stops him and basically says: "Hey Ichigo, if you say the word 'last' before the names of your special attacks they come off super strong, so when you're fighting Aizen, instead of saying getsuga tenshou, just say last getsuga tenshou". And that's what Ichigo does. Again they try to add some lame drawback to it, which in this case was that Ichigo was gonna lose his powers. But guess what? he doesn't. Why? because he is the protagonist. I stopped watching at this point so i don't know if they come up with some bad excuse for ichigo not losing it, but even if they did, it's nothing but a bad excuse.
Good Shounen anime avoid shortcuts for their mc's, bleach doesn't, bleach abuses them.

Guys, let's do a cross-series comparison and match-ups involving Bleach characters just for fun.

If Kurosaki Ichigo has to fight against both Ikki from Rakudai Kishi, and Ayato from Gakusen Toshi Asterisk in a 1-on-2 fight, which side will win ? Ichigo will be the one from Arrancar Arc before the Dangai training with his dad. As a Handicap, Ichigo will not be allowed to use his Hollow mask, which is overkill and not even necessary.

The Location is Fake Karakura Town with no people else, and both Ayato and Ikki will be given Vice-Captain Reiatsu with Basic Shunpo skills. ( Reiatsu is everything in the Bleach Universe, as without a decent Reiatsu, you can't cut or hurt someone with more Reiatsu, even if you are better at swordfighting. This was proven when Soi Fon tried to use his Nigeki Kessatsu on Aizen but didn't worked as Aizen's Reiatsu was just too higher than Soi Fon that he could eliminate her Shikai's effects on his own body with his spiritual pressure )

If this fight happens, I think Ayato and Ikki might try to be able to match or even put up a slightly decent swordfight against Ichigo if Ichigo is just in Shikai mode and both of them have gotten the hang of Shunpo, but eventually within less than a minute, the difference in Reiatsu will become obvious as Ichigo's Captain-level reiatsu will allow Ichigo to stay relatively only slightly cut with not much damage even if Ayato and Ikki's sword connects. If Ichigo can land just one slash, it will severely incapacitate either of those 2, as Ichigo's reiatsu is higher. Of course, if Ichigo doesn't hold back, he might accidentally kill either of them with one powerful concentrated slash or stab that could easily skewer or turn both of them into mincemeat in a blink of an eye, so he needs to go easy if his goal is just to win without killing either of them.

So, the Match Result is : Shikai Ichigo wins with no difficulty. Not even Getsuga Tenshou or Bankai needs to be used.

However, what if it is a 1-on-4 fight, with Ichigo having to fight against all 4 of Ikki, Ayato, Kirin from Asterisk War, and Amou Kirukiru from Busou Shoujo all 4 with VC-level Reiatsu ? Who will win ?

My guess is all 4 of the combined can hurt and damage Ichigo quite a bit, and Amou's barehanded combat style will literally make her attacks seems like a powered-down version of Base Grimmjow. But there is a huge difference, as while Grimmjow is Base Captain level reiatsu, Amou will only have Base VC-Reiastu, so even if Amou connects, a swift counter from one of Ichigo's slashes will quickly incapacitate her if Ichigo connects if Amou can't quickly Shunpo away or dodge. But do you guys think that all 4 of them have a chance to last more than 5 minutes against Ichigo ?

The only way for them to win is if they can target Ichigo's weak spot with a stab that doesn't require Captain-level reiatsu to easily stab through, and that weak spot is, Ichigo's eyes. Kenpachi tried that against Nnoitra, but he got the wrong "eye" instead.

PS : Unlike the bland and boring Ayato, which I dislike, I like Ikki as a character as he's not a Harem king monopolizing all the girls' attention in his own series like Ayato, as he is loyal to just one girl Stella, so this match is just a means for a fun discussion.
I am someone that would like to watch a Harem Anime with 2 male leads that each gets their own harem company of girls from the main cast. For example, 1st male lead gets a company of 4 girls and 2nd male lead gets 2-3 girls etc.

He proved a lot more things then you did.



Like what? You do know his Rankings is BS because for one his entire video is him stating his opinion and not actually explaining why it failed. I can easily assume his audience is from the West and not from Japan because his rankings is BASED from Japan due to how Manga is distributed from here to there
What Person in the West or anywhere except Japan was reading Bleach in 2005? Who was reading Bleach in 2001?
DO you know JoJo was ranked #1 in 2004 yet no one in the West knew about JoJo?
How are you going to use Japanese based Rankings to explain to the West why it went down in popularity
WHEN IT'S RANKED BY CHAPTER AND NOT BY ARC!? it's ranked every 7 issues earlier
so week 7's ranking is the ranking accumulated from Week 1
Eyepatch didn't do any research and just spoke out of his ass

Literally if Bleach was on the front page then it wouldn't be ranked because Front Pages aren't usually ranked
Add on to the fact when he said Bleach was being pushed back
One issue was in 2006 with Ichigo pushed back and Bleach was in the top 3
Also many issues don't show the top shows in the front page all the time
It's just bullshit after bullshit
The Japanese Audience is something unknown to me


It's WSJ's ranking, it's not BS and it's the one that matter because popularity in the west doesn't decide whether the anime gets canceled, popularity in Japan does.
Besides that he shows how Bleach lost originality, became repetitive and lost it's design quality after Soul Society arc.

Bleach is actually funny when it revealed that Ichigo is half-everything. Both series maybe good to teens and pre-teens but my cousins and I grow bored of them.
In my eyes, all shounen are the same, entertaining but forgettable. Well, in Japan, the best shounen is One Piece though.
Why is there a pointless thread about them anyway? Both had ended for a long time.
