Tite Kubo’s Bleach is known for a lot of things, but the most prominent aspect that makes Bleach part of the Big Three is its action sequences. While the series may sometimes lack in terms of the storyline or the characters, it has never failed to portray brilliant action sequences that take the breath away from anime fans.

Kubo’s way of drawing action sequences is completely different from that of any other manga creator. Even legendary mangakas like Eiichiro Oda cannot come close to drawing or even imagining such unique battles. The mangaka once revealed his secret for drawing such great fight scenes for his magnum opus.
He revealed that he imagines the camera angles and plays the fight scenes like a video in his mind, and then later on, he draws them like the way he created them in his head. He also...

Bleach is a member of the Big Three club of Shonen anime, and deservedly so. However, its protagonist, Ichigo, is nowhere near the most liked Shonen hero. Tite Kubo created a boy-next-door character who was thrust into responsibilities too big for him.
Luffy and Naruto, on the other hand, have huge individual fanbases. But why are things so different for Ichigo despite being in the same genre? The truth might lie in a 2023 interview with Tite Kubo.

There are not many characters who have left an impression on the world as big as Heath Ledger did when he played the character of Joker in Dark Knight. The infamous villain has also made his way into the anime world, as he served as an inspiration for an underrated villain called Shogo Makishima from the popular crime thriller series Psycho-Pass.
Psycho-Pass | Production I.G.
Psycho-Pass revolves around an organization called the Sibyl System that can quantify the criminality within any individual and store that data to analyze and keep the peace of the world intact. However, there are people who do not agree with their methods and try to end their “tyranny,” and one of them is Shogo Makishima, the main antagonist of season 1.

The only character that fans hope the most to make a comeback after Gojo Satoru is Kugisaki Nobara. The third main character of Jujutsu Kaisen, Nobara, allegedly lost her life during her battle against Mahito in the second season of the series. While she was announced dead in the Jujutsu Kaisen anime, the manga did not fully explain what happened to her.
Nobara in Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2
This is one of the main reasons why fans hope that she might return to the series to battle the King of Curses, help his friend Yuji Itadori defeat him, and save their other friend Megumi Fushiguro. However, Gege Akutami’s one trait slims the chances of her return to the series’ final battle featuring Yuji and Sukuna.

Warning: Spoilers Ahead
Since the beginning of the Culling Games arc in Jujutsu Kaisen, the King of Curses has fought almost every strong sorcerer from the Jujutsu world, but his best fight till now is against Gojo Satoru. Gojo was the first opponent of Sukuna, and their battle shocked every Jujutsu Kaisen fan, but ultimately Sukuna won by slicing Gojo and killing him.
Sukuna kills Gojo
After that, Sukuna has been constantly battling, and although he has been feeling the strain of so many battles, he is still coming out as the winner from each of them. The spoilers for Jujutsu Kaisen chapter 260 have revealed that the return of Aoi Todo in the previous chapter might have startled Sukuna, as he is being dominated by the duo (Yuji and Todo).

The recent wave of live-action adaptations of popular series has caught up with many prominent anime and manga series like One Piece, Avatar: The Last Airbender, Naruto, Yu Yu Hakusho, etc. Fans are always hoping for their favorite anime and manga to get a live-action adaptation to experience their world more realistically.
Bleach Anime
However, Bleach fans might never be able to get this satisfaction. Bleach’s creator, Tite Kubo, once revealed that he doesn’t want Bleach to be adapted into a live-action series or movie because he drew the series specifically to be featured as a manga. He even went on to say that if Bleach’s live-action was possible, he wouldn’t have drawn the manga.
Despite this, Kubo’s magnum opus did receive a live-action adaptation movie in 2018, and it might not have been as successful as the One Piece live-action series, but it still got decent reception and reviews.

In the 2000s, the shonen genre was dominated by the Big Three, featuring none other than Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece. If we talk solely in terms of numbers, then Bleach has not done as amazing as the other two. However, Tite Kubo’s manga and anime series has continued to attract fans through its captivating plot, and a protagonist that stood out from the rest.

Unlike other anime series, Tite Kubo’s magnum opus keeps his fans hooked with its layered and incredibly strong antagonists. Aizen, who was one of the main villains of the series, kept things interesting as his Bankai was the strongest of them all. However, a fan has come up with a theory that he could not flaunt his true power as his blade restricted him from doing so.

Bleach has some of the most complex yet intriguing styles of fighting including the use of bankai. From Byakuya Kuchiki’s Senbonzakura Kageyoshi and Shinji’s Sakashima Yokoshima Happōfusagari to Ichigo’s Tensa Zangetsu. They are visually artistic, mesmerizing, and most importantly; dangerously powerful. There are many who work hard and dedicatedly to achieve their bankai.

Tite Kubo’s skills allow not only a spectacle to look at but also a story to engross oneself in completely. There are many who can achieve their bankai, such is the case with how close their bond is to their Zanpakuto. At the same time, there are those who are unable to achieve the same. Aizen is the biggest example of the same. Although he wasn’t able to achieve that, his abilities did not make him feel like he was lacking one.

Tite Kubo’s Bleach is one of the most unique stories because it is based around Soul Reapers who are trying to protect their Soul Society from impending doom while also maintaining peace on Earth. However, the story is not the only thing that is unique about Kubo’s magnum opus. The name of the series also has a unique connection that many fans don’t know.

Bleach as a name felt weird to a lot of fans as it did not have any direct reference to the vast variety of elements of the series. For example, Dragon Ball’s name references the magical orbs that give rise to a mysterious dragon who grants wishes. This is why Kubo once revealed how he came up with the name “Bleach” for his magnum opus.

Tite Kubo created many iconic characters in Bleach, but Kenpachi Zaraki took home the ‘baddest gym-rat’ trophy. The 11th Division Captain lived and breathed battles throughout the series and became one of the most coveted characters.
Despite being so popular, Zaraki did not appear nearly as much as people wanted to see him in the manga and anime. His battles were some of the most celebrated Bleach fights, each more restless than the last.
An old comment from Tite Kubo will give you more insight into the author’s relationship with this particular Shinigami.

Comparisons between Naruto and Luffy have been going on since both characters entered the anime and manga worlds. Both of them have uncanny similarities as the main characters of Naruto and One Piece, but they also differ in terms of ambitions, mindsets, and the way they deal with their problems.
Naruto in Naruto Shippuden
However, the biggest comparison that fans have made between the two characters is regarding their way of dealing with their enemies during fights and battles. Both of them follow a different approach while fighting villains. While Luffy adapts in the middle of the battle, Naruto is known to employ unique tricks with the help of his jutsus.
Although using new tricks in dealing with the enemies does make the battle intriguing, Luffy’s ability to learn in the middle of the battle proves that he has a better battle Iq than Naruto, despite being the dumber character of the two.

Among the Soul Reapers in Bleach, their strongest power is their Bankai. A Bankai is the second form of the swords of these Soul Reapers called Zanpakuto, which is considered absolutely lethal and can only be used by the strongest characters in the series. Bleach has featured a lot of Bankai transformations over the years, and each of them is unique in its own way.
Shinji Hirako
However, there is one Bankai that is so terrifying that it has been banned from the Soul Society. This Bankai belongs to Shinji Hirako, who is the current captain of the 5th Division of Gotei 13. The name of his Bankai is Sakashima Yokoshima Happofusagari, and it is considered to be a big threat to Shinji’s enemies and his friends alike.

Often, the special ingredient behind a successful villain is a tera-jerker backstory. You can see it in My Hero Academia (Shigaraki), Naruto (Itachi Uchiha), and many other hit anime. Yet, Tite Kubo managed to create one of the biggest anime villains with absolutely no backstory.
Aizen, the slimy (and handsome) antagonist of Bleach, has conquered innumerable hearts. But how? Tite Kubo never gave him a proper backstory. No one knows why he has an evil mentality. Worst of all! You can’t even tell if you should sympathize with him or not. Turns out Kubo never gave much of an explanation for his intentions on purpose.

Even though it was a vague hint, the reaction by Saint Jaygarcia Saturn made it more believable to the fans that it is another foreshadowing by Eiichiro Oda.

But when this rivalry is seen between industry giants like Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, and Tite Kubo, the creator of Bleach, it creates a sense of tension between the fans of both series. In 2017, Kubo stated on a radio show that he was jealous of Oda and hated him.

This led to a huge online feud between One Piece and Bleach fans, and since then, there has been a sense of hatred between the two fandoms.

Bleach is one of the Big Three of anime. Even though it did not reach the same popularity as Naruto and One Piece, it still played a crucial role in changing the course of the manga and anime industry for the better. Bleach revolves around Ichigo Kurosaki, who met a female shinigami, Rukia Kuchiki, and later became a substitute shinigami.
Tite Kubo did a great job with his magnum opus, but the fans always felt that the ending was rushed and could have been explored more. While most fans thought it was due to Shueisha forcing Kubo to wrap up the manga in a limited time, it was actually the mangaka who wanted the manga to end. The Thousand Year Blood War arc suffered a rushed ending.

When Gege Akutami’s Jujutsu Kaisen first came out in 2018, fans instantly fell in love with the series because it introduced a band of negative characters who, despite their terrifying motives and ambitions, had a certain charm to them. Although every anime or manga series has at least one antagonist that becomes a fan favorite, Jujutsu Kaisen still stands out.
Sukuna and Mahito in Jujutsu Kaisen
This was because other anime and manga series usually have a sympathetic or sad background story for the antagonist to make fans understand the feelings and reasoning behind their actions in the storyline. Akutami once revealed that they don’t like the idea of using sympathy for villains.
They pointed out that the simple explanation of the collision between the convictions of the protagonist and the antagonist is enough to fuel the rage of characters like Sukuna and make them cold-hearted villains who want to destroy the world.

Fortnite is known for collaborating with big media franchises, especially anime series like Naruto, Dragon Ball, One Piece, My Hero Academia, etc. However, this time, fans may not be happy with the alleged Jujutsu Kaisen collaboration. The reason for this is that, according to the reports, the character list that is announced does not include any villains from the series.
The previous collaboration, too, only focused on the protagonists of the Jujutsu Kaisen series. The antagonists of the series, which include Ryomen Sukuna, Toji Fushiguro, Geto Suguru, etc., are a big deal among anime fans. This has led to fans...

Naruto by Masashi Kishimoto, One Piece by Eiichiro Oda, and Bleach by Tite Kubo are the well-deserving Big Three of the anime and manga world. These three series form the foundation of Weekly Shonen Jump, and they have proven their worth with a strong fan base that has followed them for years.

Although all three of them have their own respective qualities that define them and their popularity, fans have always debated which anime or manga among the three is considered to be the best. They have compared storylines, characters, attacks, animations, sales, fanbase, and much more, but everyone has their own opinions.
However, there is one aspect where Kishimoto’s Naruto has been better than One Piece and Bleach. The trait is overly sexualizing female characters. A post on X(Formerly Twitter) pointed out that both Oda and Kubo have been accused of being sexist...

Manga has been a great source of amusement for audiences of every age group. As manga readers, the joy and excitement we experience after reading a chapter is amazing. However, manga authors go through many struggles to produce chapters weekly, making it one of the most challenging professions.

Even after going through all that toil and creating mesmerizing art and details over days, fans often glance at it and move on within a few seconds. Only a handful take the time to notice the intricate details meticulously crafted by the author, which are often overlooked in weekly publications. This is Masashi Kishimoto’s belief, as he explained in an interview in 2016 when asked about weekly manga publications.

However, all of these mangakas have different styles and approaches based on their own personal preferences and ways of thinking, and not all of them follow the same process while developing their respective storylines.

That being, mangaka Mashima sensei even proved this claim that not all mangakas use the same approach while curating their masterpieces by revealing how he had no idea how one of his best manga projects would ever end.

After the era of Big 3, many fans thought it would be impossible to replicate their success and reach their popularity like them; however, Gege Akutami’s magnum opus, Jujutsu Kaisen, proved them severely wrong by providing the audience with a compact yet powerful story filled with amazing backstories, gut-wrenching plot twists, and fights that will go down in history.
One of the characters who played a crucial role in making the story so interesting is Kenjaku. While fans often debate who the main antagonist is in the story, it is undeniable that Kenjaku is one of the most well-written antagonists ever.

Yoshihiro Togashi, the man behind Hunter x Hunter, has another popular manga under his belt. In the 1990s, his Yu Yu Hakusho became one of the top sellers of Shonen Jump. In the late 1990s, he began the serialization of Hunter x Hunter, which later became one of the top-rated anime of all time. But initially, he had thought of a different plot instead of the mentioned anime.
Yoshihiro Togashi’s idea of a battle manga clicked with Yu Yu Hakusho. After Yu Yu Hakusho, he wanted to continue with his hot streak. So, had to give it a real thought and had to do some studies before finalising the work.
