Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
I know about Dragon Ascendant, but it's not what I meant. I mean where a new Big Bad (not an existing Dragon) comes out of nowhere and effortlessly defeats the old one to immediately establish his badassery in the eyes of the audience.
Still hitting a block on examples though...

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
The disappointment of this arc just hit me again - we learned nothing about Chad and Orihime
Yeah, that's closer, but too immediate - nobody's really worried about Aizen right now, so it's not like they'd really be saved from him, unless he took over the prison and was leading an uprising just prior to being eaten.
Checking the related tropes on that page, the closest I've yet found was Eviler Than Thou. That would fit perfectly but for the stipulation about villains' plots colliding - the trope I'm envisioning is where the supplanting threat is totally new, rather than an established scheming big bad. I don't think Bleach has one of those, though Kubo could always surprise us.Plague Doctor by Crimmy

Isn't that just the Sorting Algorithm of Evil combined with the Worf Effect?

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
I am busily laughing my ass off at Ukitake and Kyoraku being so nostalgic about how Ichiho's grown up when they weren't looking, considering that Ukitake met him once (in order to give him a bugged badge) and Kyoraku has never actually had a conversation with him.
Further amused by the apparent massive reform Soul Society has undergone in reaction to an abnormally-powerful teenager breaking and entering, and then beating up the Big Bad. I mean, sure, they still employ Mayuri, they still have a secret police, the Central 42 is still in charge, and we've heard nothing more about the hellish, ghettoized lower districts, but the Commander didn't order the murder of a former ally once they looked like they might be in trouble! That's progress!
God, this manga has fallen so far from its promising beginnings. I'm going to spend my weekend re-reading Lucifer & Biscuit Hammer. Now that's quality storytelling; and he only needed 65 chapters to do it, too.Last edited by Revlid; 2012-01-13 at 08:16 AM.

the fact that he internally recognized his own end proves it well enough for me.

Ashido?
And it's not uncommon for authors to homage the anime from time to time. One example is Bardak that appeared on the Bardak special before the cameo on the manga.

It's canon for the anime so long the author don't give say it is, and the extra merchandise producers can make whatever they want if they simply ask for the company producing the anime instead of the author.
On those things, the authors kind of get the raw deal creatively speaking, but they are happy enough to gain some extra cash with the licensing.

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
This guy
He appeared in the anime only, and Kubo said in an interview that he had wanted him to be in the manga too, but they cut the forest of menos bit for deadline constraints.
I was always under the impression though that Kubo's relationship with the anime studio was pretty amicable. After all, he does take the time to design characters for their filler, including all the zanpakuto spirits.
At the very least, he seems to be okay with whatever they do so long as they can stagger out each season, giving him more time to not draw backgroundsPlague Doctor by Crimmy

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
But the key complaint had no time to happen. Ichigo spent almost no time in Soul Society during the periods when he could have been interacting with those two, and specifically hasn't seen any of them since he lost his powers.
*EDIT* Although I guess they could have been spying on him non-stop...Last edited by Friv; 2012-01-17 at 01:22 PM.

Re: Bleach V: Well that was a waste of time (Fullbring? What's that?)
Better than an inconvenient excuse!
In all seriousness, I think Kubo has forgotten that while we the readers have had tons of exposure to those characters, Ichigo hasn't. Sort of like how he had trouble distinguishing between character experience and audience experience when he let Aizen's hypnosis work on the audience. He seems to have trouble separating the two.
As a side note, this would make him a terrible role player, because he wouldn't be able to divorce in-character knowledge from out-of-character knowledge.
