Finally! This drawing by Kubo-sensei which went on the anime tour last winter emerges! We'd wanted to see it for a while but somehow no one seemed to have a picture of it! Here it is, the picture he drew--it was on display at Jump Festa.

( Rukiaaargh! )

Also, HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHAD! CHAD!FEST GOING ON HERE!

oh yes, tatai found the following report at 2ch and czeliate translated. There are more reports on 2ch from Jump Festa but Annie says it's mostly same old same old. There were some people freaking over the mention of Grimmjow and whether or not he was dead but it doesn't appear at all from what Sensei has said that his death had been confirmed at all. Regarding the ten more years of Bleach, Morita said he wanted Bleach to go on for thirty more years and Sensei said it would be only ten, lol. And it was put on a screen that Rukia was the "fixed heroine" of Bleach and Orihime was referred to on the same screen as the "naturally loved airhead." I'd give you more info except... heh, other people besides Annie need to go find these things and translate them-- she and I both have very pressing personal engagements this week. XD XD XD

BLEACHの今後など
*今半分くらいまで来てる
*少なくてもあと１０年はやる
*グリムジョーはもっと早く死ぬ予定だった
*破面篇はもっと短い予定だったが、過去篇入れたら長くなった
*一護の出生の秘密も描くかもだけど、まだちゃんと決めてなくて
全て描く予定は無い(読者に想像の余地を残すため)

The future of Bleach
*right now its only half
*I still can continue/fight for another 10 years
*originally I thought Grimmjow will die quickly
*originally arrancar arc wasn't that long
*Ichigo's birth will be drawn, but I still haven't plan/decide on it(but it will definitely beyond the reader's imagination)

eta: correction and edit by blackwings0603 :

So，this translation comes from my chinese version.
"I still can continue/fight for another 10 years"
That's a joke made by me.
Direct translation should be "At least,it will last for another 10 years."

Even kept my mistakes.
"Ichigo's background story will be drawn,but I still haven't plan/decide on it
(but not all of it leave some imagination space to readers.)"
That's the right one.

eta2 response by czel at BA:

here's the corrected version, sorry for the mistakes I'd made before.

many thanks to Blackwings and stray mikeneko @bleachnessXD~

The future of Bleach
*right now its only half
*At least,it will last for another 10 years.
*originally I thought Grimmjow will die sooner
*the Arrancar arc was supposed to be shorter, but it got longer when putting in the past chapters.
*the secret of ichigo's birth will be drawn, but I've not fully decided yet
(not planning to draw everything, will leave some imagination space to readers.)

I think thats it..

but one thing I gotta say is..I don't care if the "ichigo's birth" is an error or that can make the readers misunderstood...(Im sorry if its really an error)
the word 出生 means birth
I just think it would've been too broad to translate as ichigo's background story(could've started when his mom died)
I think what kubo meant about the secret of Ichigo and his birth will include masaki,isshin background story, then finally give birth to ichigo who holds the power of shinigami,hollow, and having a tremendous spiritual pressure..and the reason isshin named his son : ichigo
etcetc..

lol@ 10 years ??
I'll be 30 by then... T^T
but I can see why...
we still haven't witnesses all the bankai yet.. for the past 9 years.. kubo has only shown 11 bankais
soifon,komamura,byakuya,hitsu,gin,tosen,mayuri,ken sei,renji, ichigo ..
and possibly, he still hasn't shown us the other 11+ bankais
yamajii, shunsui, unohana, ukitake, Aizen, urahara, yoruichi, Isshin, Shinji, Rose, Love...etcetc
we have yet to see Ryuuken's full power..
we haven't seen the royal guards, spirit king.. (he said he plan to show the royal guard)
we haven't seen the 200 years ago quincy massacre
we have yet to see the true face of Unohana, talk about her fight...(which sensei had already promise us)
we don't know how many Xcution members (X --> 十 -->ten : I have a feeling there are 10 members in the Xcution group, although its abit too much==)
we don't know Xcution background story
we don't know masaki/isshin's backstory
we don't know Ichigo's backstory
and the list goes on

Another Jump Festa report, translated from poppy_moon's blog by nacchan_touya from IR FC HERE

more Jumpfest report

Sato Miki and the new Ichigo were making an appearance, when entering the stage Miki was acting like Rukia saying 「今日はお前のお披露目の日だろう？」"Today is your debut day no?" to Ichigo's actor Norizuki, he is so young : 20 years old.

At the Jump station session fans are so excited seeing Oririn and Miki holding a conversations with each other, "the two Rukia finally meet!" was their response XD

In the IchiRuki moments live dubbing session at "Broken Coda" episode they finally add Ichigo's shout of despair from the manga that was missing in the actual episode, and the ch.423 dubbing is so touching, Morita and Fumiko's acting is so heart-wrenching, people said it was like watching a shoujo manga scene

The audience was greeted with a huge Ichigo baloon upon entering Bleach area, when the event starts there's a voiceover welcome messages from Ichigo and Rukia

poppy_moon took so many photos including close up of Ichigo and Rukia's mega sumi painting poster, you can see it on her blog

Some of the many pictures taken by Ku from her visit to JF under the cut. Thank you very much to poppy_moon for her report and photos.

It's begun! Poppy_moon has yet to write her report but we've got news and pix!
The stunner was that Oririn and Morita recreated the IchiRuki goodbye in front of Sensei as well as many other IchiRuki scenes beginning from chapter one and audiences were so moved that they cried!

from

nacchan_touya 's post at IR FC here:

OMG OMFG guys the jump festa is an IchiRuki festa!!

In the big stage Morita and Oririn dubbed ch.423 BLEACH MY SOUL live in front of the audiences and Kubo-sensei!! and not just that but they also rehashed the old IchiRuki scenes!!

The scene they dubbed :

- Chapter 1 : IchiRuki Meeting

- Broken Coda (when Rukia was taken for the first time)

- SS arc Bridge Scene :
"I came to save you Rukia"
"You fool! look at you all torn up"
"Even if I look like this, I've become stronger"

- HM arc :
"We're nakama arent we?"
"...Aah"

- Ch.423 Farewell

the report said both of their acting is so touching and many fans cried.

People that get on stage were Morita, Fumiko, Kubo-sensei, Nakai (kokutoo) and Furuya (shuuren), the MC asked a few fun questions like who is their favorite characters and the gave them characters selection to pick with each stereotype they had. For girls character they gave them Rukia "the fixed heroine", Orihime "the naturally loved", Rangiku "the big breasted vice-captain class", Lisa "the megane (glasses) type" and Hiyori (the reporter forget her title)

For favorite female characters all the guys choose Orihime and Rangiku because they love big boobs (Furuya even apologized to Fumiko "sorry Rukia-chan but I'm a boob man") and Nakai also pick Lisa because for him how Lisa loves to read porn book makes him excited and Morita also pick Hiyori as a "good friend" type character

and LOL Oririn when being asked which male character she likes with the selection of hotties such as Ichigo "the main lead", Kokutoo, Shuuren, Byakuya, Mayuri, (theres other choices but the reporter forgot).... she choose YAMAJII because she likes older character *GJ oririn.. you slap them all good XDDDD*

all in all the Ichiruki fans who went there are ecstatic with this year JF, they put ichigo and Rukia picture side by side everywhere and looking by the storm of tweets looks like Oririn is very charming today, they also glad over the musical announcement, they also squees on Rukia's title as "fixed heroine" and the stage performance is just MOEE

Sensei also picked Rangiku and Orihime as his favorite female characters but unless people jump to pairing conclusions, his favorite male characters are Mayuri and Aizen sooooo.... LOL.

SENSEI DREW SOME AWESOME PICTURES! Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, Byakuya, Hitsugaya, Kenpachi, Gin, Aizen and Ginjou. Thank you to Annie for them. There are pics below cut. IchiRuki ones, sorry--they're the ones she grabbed because of her interests! They were also more of them than anything else!

Also regarding Hellverse, there's a new trailer up on the website. Sorry, Neha, there's a shot of where yeah, the bishies are indeed rotting. *cry*

( Ishida and Renji rot )
Mah BISHIES! *CRIES SOME MORE*

eta: from Syn: Sensei said Bleach has another 10 years left. This makes me happy because I never want it to end. This frustrates me because I want character development to hurry up but... hey, a luxuriously told story that will last until I'm a grandmother? Hahaha, okay!

Current Mood: busy

Basically it says that Jump Festa Bleach will be held on Dec. 18th and 19th. The scheduled guests are Kubo sensei, Morita (Ichigo), Orikasa (Rukia), Nakai (Kokutou's seiyuu), Furuya (Syuren's seiyuu). This is the first time movie OCs are showing up for the festival. I'm disappointed other Bleach seiyuu like Ishida's and Orihime's aren't there. I expected the nakama there. I guess these OCs are expected to be popular? Soul Plates and everything--well... they're bishie for sure.

Also, I need to clear up a rumor regarding a misunderstood/mistranslated tweet that's been circulating. It's being said that Kubo-sensei requested hentai of Yoruichi, Neliel, and Rangiku and implied that he wanted to see some of Orihime. That's just not true. Not saying that Sensei can't be a perv sometime but what he was referring to were the new Bleach mousepads that have recently been merchandised. The mousepads are, erm, "erotic" and feature 3-D boobs of said characters. Kubo simply hadn't seen the merchandise and wanted to see them. Also, Seika Oda (Yuki, Orihime's seiyuu) asked Kubo why Orihime wasn't featured on one of the mousepads and Kubo responded that it was because Orihime was still in high school. Du'uh. Anyway, just clearing that up because nothing irritates me more than misinformation. This is how those "there's going to be a TURN BACK THE PENDULUM ARC ABOUT THE ESPADA" rumors get started.
