Great Bleach Tangents

[http://users.livejournal.com/_debbiechan_/]

Discussion for the weekend.

Beyond the many Ban Kai Kubo has yet to show us and all the debatable growing up the kids have to do, there are so many unresolved tangents in Bleach that it would take Sensei  a nice ten years at least to thoroughly pick up all the loose threads, wouldn't you say? Given our manga-ka's propensity for dropping a thread and then picking it up a hundred or more chapters later, Bleach can sometimes resemble a very wooly carpet.

What are some of your favorite loose threads and what do you think are the chances of their being woven back into the glorious Bleachverse tapestry in some spectacular way?

For example, I've always been slightly pissed that we never got a resolution to the fact that Ishida had all those spy bacteria in him by Mayuri--did he get them out? Did Orihime undo that nasty business when she healed him? But I'm resigned to the fact that this loose thread may not be very important to the Master Tapestry. More important is the fact that Aizen got locked away with the hougyoku still inside him. And how about that BIG GIANT CLUE that Kubo threw in chapter 00b about Rukia's mystery visit to Earth with Kiyone--that's overdue some explanation. Rukia's connection to hougyoku. How about Orihime's vow to destroy the hougyoku? That got brought up in one panel and never touched about again. Don't even get me started about Orihime hints of development from Kubo that have gotten nerfed.

So, while we're all cozying up to some guaranteed Isshin backstory now, there's still a LOT of unresolved Bleach to bitch about. What are your favorite seemingly forgotten tangents? (I'm sure Sensei hasn't forgotten them--he's just slow and sadistic XD)

I was thinking that too--maybe Urahara was the one who found her as a baby. Or somebody, because there's no way she would have lived.

maybe Urahara or... Yoruichi. Ah, sorry for the typos -.-U

I make typos on a regular basis, no worries. And, yeah, I was going to mention "I hope it's Yoruichi, actually" because to see a connection between Rukia and her would make the story ten times better for me. I want Yoruichi/Rukia bonding. XD

yeah, that would be great... On the other hand Soi Fon would get in berserk mode xD thanx for the typos' thing :D

LOL, Sui-Feng jealous of Rukia? But I see them getting along--she needs someone like Rukia in her life. I see them acting like sisters. *pauses* Just got a fic idea.

And, you're welcome.

as soon as she doesn't see Rukia as a menace in her relathionship with Yoruichi sama (xD) she'll accept her as a sister, that's for sure. And I also think they'd complement themselves a lot :DD a fanfic idea, huh? I'd love to read it ;D

LOL, I think it would be cute. Yoruichi's like Mama or something. But, yeah, I always post fics at my journal. XD
