Now that Kubo has a second chance, how can he improve Yuha's character, his goal made sense with the themes of the story but it wasn't revealed until he was defeated. Having him reveal it over the arc and getting his outlook would improve his character immensly.

Have him discuss shit with Haschwalt, in the present or in a flashback. Or just have him drop it on Ichigo when the Soul King 'dies.'

Who cares? Bleach was always just an elaborate excuse for Kubo to come up with cool powers and draw various tits.

Yeah, made perfect sense. Dude feared death more than anything, to the point of doing everything to erase it from existence. The perfect foil for Ichigo who's overcoming the grief over the death of his own mother and accepting it.

Kubo probably planned to have 2 volumes dedicated to that excuse of a character.

If only this was emphasized enough in the story to actually resonate. Death in general barely matters in Bleach despite the shinigami theme.

Bleach is a story about death, fear of death,how people cope with it and whether they overcome it or not.
>Substitute shinigami arc
>Shows different individuals coping with the death of their loved ones. Ichigo with masaki's, Orihime with sora's,Kon's creation, uryu with souken 's, Chad with his abuelo.
>SS arc
>Rukia accepts her death in the form of execution
>Still hasn't overcome Kaien's death.
>Core objective of the arc is to stop rukia's execution i.e. her death.
>Arrancar saga
>Aizen wants to surpass every form of spiritual existence and turns into an immortal being. An entity that has fooled death.
>TYBW arc
>Explained in the first arc that quincies disrupt the balance
>Quincy invasion
>Yuha merged with soul king and is about to merge all the different worlds which will distroy the life, death and reincarnation cycle.
>Yuha's objective is to erase death
>Final speech on the importance of death in human life is given by Aizen who always wanted to surpass every spiritual being in existence by becoming immortal and now is someone who despite telling the importance of death can't die himself, the best way too conclude the theme of death.
>Poems from the first and the last volume talks about death.
The subtle theme of God, metaphors connecting to Buddhism and Christianity were also used thoroughly. Kubo stayed true to the core theme of the story and concluded said theme in a great thematic payoff. The ending was rushed shit but when it comes to conveying the theme of the story Kubo did a great job. Especially compared to kishi who betrayed the original themes of Naruto.

Bleach is a manga about Not-Yusuke fighting gold saints, specters and elves.

Brody Anderson
>Has two arcs emphasizing it in Substitute shinigami and TYBW
Substitute Shinigami does, and moreover it revolves around death in general pretty thoroughly because of the episodic hollow plots. The rest of the manga, including TYBW, does not. We find out more about what happens to Masaki, but her death and its impact on Ichigo isn't particularly pertinent, accepting the loss isn't either.

Andrew Edwards
You're proving my point for me. Masaki's death and its impact on Ichigo is part of the story from the outset, but that doesn't make it the lynch-pin of the last arc or even Ichigo in the last arc. Whatever significance Masaki has is drowned out by the nature of Ichigo's powers taking center stage. It's lost in the noise. Ichigo coming to grips with his powers and ancestry in general are a lot more important TYBW than Masaki is as a human being, let alone her death. At most it just gave us a specific mustached face to blame, which made her death less interesting. We get more meaningful development out of Yamamoto than we do Ichigo.
Joshua Adams
>gave us a specific mustached face to blame, which made her death less interesting
As opposed to having a white masked face to blame?
Leo Brown
Asher Johnson
Nope. The whole point of his training with the zero squad was to learn his origin which is heavily tied to the "Everything but the Rain" arc which ends with him learning about her death. Throughout the story so far he has tried to save people so that their loved ones never go through the pain he did, that's how much her death impacted him. Now after finally learning the truth he doesn't grieve over it or blames Ishinn for not telling him before. He accepts it and even thanks his father for thinking this was the right time. The protagonist accepting the death of his mother and moving past it fighting the antagonist who's trying to erase "death" from existence.
Anthony Allen
*fighting the antagonist who's trying to erase "death" from existence i.e. rejecting it.
Charles Nguyen
>As opposed to having a white masked face to blame?
Yes actually, because that made her death less predestined/inflated and more a victim of circumstance, which makes Ichigo's power-fetish more immediate and relatable. It's like making the guy who killed Batman's parents a special crime lord or supervillain. It's drama all right, but it's the kind that smells like soap.
Sebastian Gonzalez
Ichigo doesn't fight Yuha out of revenge for Misaki.
Sebastian Taylor
>its bad because . . . its bad hmmkey
Alexander Baker
>The whole point of his training with the zero squad was to learn his origin
Yes, so he could understand his powers.
>which is heavily tied to the "Everything but the Rain" arc
Yes, because his ancestry informs his powers. The fact we know how Masaki died and we see Ichigo understand his powers doesn't make for some emotionally revelatory moment. When I say it isn't the linchpin of the arc, I mean that it doesn't actually matter that much to the manga. Yhwach's motivations barely matter, because they're so detached from most of the events of the story they come across as a post-hoc grab. The vast majority of the arc is about the Gotei 13 fighting Yhwach's goons. Cursory connections do not make something rich.
Get better material. You can do better than Bleach and shitposts.
Easton Brown

Benjamin Edwards

Which isn't possible until he learns the truth.

It does as kubo emphasizes it's importance by giving it 3/4th of the page and Ishinn's responce to it.
>. Yhwach's motivations barely matter, because they're so detached from most of the events of the story they come across as a post-hoc grab.
I am very sure Yhwach was trying to destroy all the worlds i.e. the cycle of life, death and reincarnation for shits and giggles. His goal made perfect sense with the themes of the story, Kubo's fault was he revealed it too late.

It doesn't count because there's nothing meaningfully developed about it. Are you going to pretend that the vast majority of the arc isn't about the Gotei 13 fighting goons? Are you going to pretend that Yhwach's motivations aren't pulled out at the last moment with very little meaningful recontextualizing? Bazz-B's relationship with Haschwalth is more meaningfully fleshed out. Yamamoto and his backstory are more meaningfully fleshed out. Ichigo's heritage, for the most part, is just the bridge to Ichigo's next power-up, and Yhwach's motivations don't matter beyond checking 'Yhwach's reasons for wanting to blow shit up' off a list. Yhwach wanting to end death is less of a trope and takes better advantage of Bleach's setting than what we get out of Aizen or Byakuya, but they were likewise antagonists that were better fleshed out, cliched or not.
>Kubo's fault was he revealed it too late.
His fault here was that it wasn't developed enough to have impact on the reader.
