Stuff you probably didn't know about Bleach

posted by ky-chan

A self portrait of Tite Kubo

I thought I'd make an artigo on some extra stuff i've found out about Bleach. So, without further ado, please continue reading;

The idea of Bleach was centered around Yin and Yang. Even the name "Bleach" was meant as "white on black". But before Bleach, it was called Snipe, about Shinigami with guns, and the main character was Rukia who was armed with a scythe. Because armas and sycthes didn't exisit in the same era, it was retransformed into what we all amor today.

Tite Kubo always wanted to be a mangá artist. After his favorito mangá he had based the sobrenatural around Ge Ge Ge no Kitara and the fight scenes around Saint Seiya.

When Tite Kubo was in elementary, he was always fasinated por designs and architecture. Tite designed all the pieces of clothing in Bleach around what he would like to buy. Ichigo's t-shirts have been manifactured and sold as real products in a real Tokyo store called Urahara Soten.

Tite is very specific with his colours.

Tatsuki's favorito wristband is the exact colour of Ichigo's hair.

Orihime's hair isn't really orange. It's carmel brown.

Ichigo deeply respects William Shakespeare.

Tite Kubo didn't think anyone would like Shuhei Hisagi.

Tite Kubo has hundreds of cds that he plays while drawing Bleach. He has given each character a unique theme song.

An entire calendar was made especially for the Arrancar arc.

Tite Kubo recieved thousands of letters about Ulquiorra's death. He didn't declare whether or not Ulquiorra was dead.

Ulquiorra was the first Arrancar Tite Kubo created.

Tite said that the arc after Arrancar would be short- involving Isshin, but the one after that would be one of the longest arcs. Unohana will have a fight scene.

The most popular Vizoreds are Hirako and Hiyori.

In an older interview, Tite Kubo said that the bodies that Mayuri finds in Szayel's lab will be very important later.

Tite Kubo made a lot of Bleach meanings and figures around other languages like Spanish.

The Espada's attacks are loosely based on the seven deadly sins. The Espada's actual names are loosely based on archiets names.

There's an entire Uncyclepedia of Bleach, using the Bleach cast as modelos and showing their "relationship" with Tite Kubo.

Every single on of the Bleach characters hold a little bit of Tite Kubo's personality.

That's all I've got for now! I'll post mais later!

ky-chan Ahh...it's rainy out...oh, well. This a set of "verses" which were written in different texts about the characters, but because the main characters don't have them, I'm gonna post the Captians. And because of the different texts (books in which they were found) there may be more than one per Captain; G.S. YAMAMOTO: "Imperturbable and like an unmovable pivot." "Calm and self-possessed, a symbol of steadfastness." SOI FON: "Turn around and only an afterimage remains withal." "If you turn around you'll see an afterimage." GIN ICHIMARU: ".......grinning, an act of intimidation." "His smile, a menacing act." "A person of foresight." RETSU UNOHANA: "Genuine elegance." "Bona fide elegance." SOSUKE AIZEN: "Gaze into the sun." "That luminous gaze." "Composed, true face...a bloody false smile." BYAKUYA KUCHIKI: "Principle lodged in the eyes." "In his eyes rests the truth." "The cold gaze of the head of the Kuchiki family." "A person of spotless integrity." SAJIN KOMAMURA: "Unshakeable, stable loyalty." "Unwavering loyalty," SHUNSUI KYORAKU: "If it's me, it would be a waste not to dance no matter what." "If that's the case, we gotta dance." "Soul Society's dandiest man." KANAME TOSEN: "The speckle of light present in enclosed darkness." "Shut away in the dark, a ray of light." TOSHIRO HITSUGUYA: "Frozen passion." "Bone-chilling passion." "Swelling crystals." KENPACHI ZARAKI: "Consume everything, demon of the blood-thirsty sword." "The demon assassin dagger that devours all." MAYURI KUROTSUCHI: "Researcher with killing intent." "A fiendish researcher." JUSHIRO UKITAKE: "Friendship that embraces all." "A warm-hearted fraternity." Enjoy~! ky-chan

ky-chan Oh dear oh dear...I'm a bit late posting this {because I said I'd post every two days or so} but because of my evil Bio teacher and the obsession of making everyone bow to the load of homework, I think I'll change this to a weekly thing...or whenever I can post something. Haha... Today I'm gonna post some stuff about Nova, or Noba (whichever you like more). NOVA/NOBA: Besides Ririn/Lirin and Cloud/Claude/Kurodo is one of the few Bleach characters whose name drastically (somewhat) changes from the episodes dubbed to subbed as well as DarkSouls (for DS). He's first seen in Episode 64, standing ontop of a chain fence. He and his cohorts were created by Kisuke Urahara as Bount sensors. Nova/Noba wears a sheild on his back and can control demensions as well as teleport himself and others into a special demension that only he can control. When paired up to search for the Bounts, he was with Chad. While Kurodo/Claude and Orihime wondered what kind of conversation would go on between Noba/Nova and Chad, the screen flashed to Noba/Nova and Chad silently agreeing with each other with inaudible grunts. At the bottom of the screen it read, "No conversation was made." Noba/Nova's gigai takes the form of a ninja-esque red-headed, aqua-eyed, thin man wearing a zipper hood and fur coat lining around his shoulders. Noba/Nova's plushie body is that of a quiet little turtle. I named my cat after him. She is completely black with yellow eyes, her name is Nova-Yoruichi {Nova for short}. Haha. His English voice actor, Roger Craig Smith, also voices Shinji Hirako. X3 Happy Halloween! ky-chan

ky-chan Aha~! 2 weeks without a post...I beg your forgiveness; I have been through a ridiculous amount of stress which most recently includes the death of my father from a bizarre and cruel illness... Nonetheless, today I'm going to be brief and post some more things on Tite Kubo! Noriaki Kubo was born June 26, 1977 but is more commonly known as Tite Kubo, his pen name. Tite's one-shots include; "Fire in the Sky" "Ultra Unholy Hearted Machine" "Rune Master Urara" "Bad Shield United" The latter was mentioned multiple times along the Bleach cast as a cameo. Of Zombiepowder, (Tite's first offical series) according to author's commentary notes, Tite was in severe emotional trauma as he wrote the third takonbon. In Zombiepowder, the main character, Gamma, has what is called a "beserker mode" similuar to Ichigo's Hollow form. That's all for now. I'm sorry for the wait. I'll try to post more when I get the time. ~ky-chan

ky-chan Some quotes or "verses" that Kubo wrote for Bleach but never seemed to put into it. As well as some of the deeper meaning quotes by some of the characters... The reason we think flowers on the precipice are beautiful, is because we are standing on the precipice as well. Do not fear, because we are like the flowers, we do not fall off. Though time moves only one way, we can still relive those days in our mind. Devastation has been spawned from the gates of hell. We stretch out both of our arms... pass through the clouds, straight to the sky… even though the Moon and Mars… we still cannot touch the truth. We must never shed tears. That is living form of defeat and if we give in to the emotions then it only becomes proof of our inability to control it. For the sake of revenge , lead us to death. We come together like drops of water, like astral bodies, we oppose each other, like magnets, like the colors of the skin. Unless I grip the sword I cannot protect you, while I’m gripping the sword I cannot embrace you. Look, the azure sky that crushes us licks up our spines. People have hope because they can’t see death standing behind them. If I were rain, could I connect to someone’s heart, as the rain unite the eternally separated earth and sky? Because we are amorphous we hold that in reverence, thus the blade is swung. The sky splits as if it was sneering, what appeared were the bringers of white darkness. The arm of darkness is infinitely deep. Therefore let me inform you --- all dreams are to be thrown away. Whispered wishes and the heart’s desire… The silent resolve! Even if the heart wavers- The dance and the blade tip remain steady!! Faced with such power… hope is crushed. Innocent… just how she is. Pure… just how she remains. They live in different worlds, that fact rings true in the past and in the future, but for now they unite. Always solving, always breaking apart, always creating… That is a wish for despair. HICHIGO SHIROSAKI: Think you can tell me the difference between the king and his horse? And don’t even think about saying some kid’s riddle answer… “because one has 2 legs and the other 4 or some shit like that”. It’s about the form, the ability and then the power!! Almost like the two could have been the same existence at one point!! But then the one that fights to rise to the top becomes the king! Whichever one is leftover to become the horse lending it’s power to the former!.......... There’s only one answer. INSTINCT!!! A vital tool for someone who has equal power but wishes to seek out something more. With this, the user will naturally be drawn to battle… be drawn to more power… and use such to mercilessly obliterate his enemies beyond any hope of recognition!! Slicing them into pieces, mangling them… all of this brought on by an absolute raw hunger for battle!! Our skin is peeled off.. our meat scooped out.. bones crushed, nerves nullified!! Every part of us, chiseled down to the very core!! All in order to further sharpen our killing instinct!! KENPACHI ZARAKI: Do you need a reason to battle? Quit screwing around ! You’re the one who sought out this battle. You’re the one who seeks power! And for bastards who seek nothing but power, all they do is jump from one battle to another, with no exceptions . Do you keep fighting to get that power within the palm of your hands? Or are you seeking power so that you can keep fighting? Hell if I know but… There is ONE thing I do get! Somehow, we’re both the exact type of person!! We’re always gonna keep on searching for fights! Use your own instinct to search out these battles… that’s just because there’s no other way.. to get that power you so desire. Battle onwards! Get a grip on that overbearing power of yours, pick up your sword, and cut down all those who stand in your way!! There’s no other road that exists for you. All that’s in front of you and everything behind you ( Ichigo! ) Battle!!! KAIEN SHIBA: Every time you and I connect with each other a little bit of heart is born between us. Heart isn’t something inside you. But whenever you think, whenever you remember someone, that’s when heart is born. If you were the only one alive in the whole world, your heart wouldn’t exist, now would it? There’s no reason to worry. If you truly want to be here from the bottom of your heart, the your heart is definitely here. And if your heart is here, then… that’s “the reason for you to be here.” And… one last thing. Whenever you fight from this point on, there is one thing that you must never do. Don’t die Alone! Our bodies are our spirits too so when we die, our bodies will disintegrate and become part of the reishi that form Soul Society. And when that time comes, where will your heart go? You entrust your heart to your nakama. If you entrust it to your nakama, then your heart… will live on within them. Kuchiki, that’s why… you must never, ever, ever… DIE ALONE. MAYURI KUROTSUCHI: Perfection does not exist in this world. It m like a cliché, but it’s true. Only mediocre fools will lust for perfection and seek it out. However what meaning is there in “perfection” ? Perfection disgusts me. After perfection there exists nothing higher. Not even room for “creation”, which means there is no room for wisdom and talent either. To scientists like ourselves, perfection is despair. Even if something is created that is more magnificent than anything before, it still however will be far from perfect furthermore, we must become beings capable of drawing pleasure from such. In short, the instant that absurd word “perfection” came out of your lips, you had already been defeated by me. X3 enjoy~! ~ky-chan

wolfmaster3000 i'm sure everyone already knew this but Did you know that Yourichi not only teased Byakuya but Tarined him as her appertance for a little while ..as stated when he fought Espada eight "I didn't want to have to use move's that she taught me."

amayastrawberri these are all such cool little tidibts thanks guys!

musicalcookie I've got some info too! (Some are potential spoilers..) Gommennasai) ICHIGO KUROSAKI: -Tite Kubo intended him to have more of a "nerd" appearance. He was meant to have glasses (like Uryu) and be more properly dressed. He also didn't start out with Orange hair in the beginning. On the other hand, Rukia was supposed to be the "hero," but Tite Kubo didn't like how it matched. -People in the Bleach universe think that he has a close resemblance to Kaien Shiba. However, the Shiba clan members (notably Kukaku and Ganju) have not commented on that. KISUKE URAHARA: -former Captain of the 12th DIvision and Original founder of the SDRI (Shinigami Research and Development Institute) -Original creator of the Hogyoku -He owns Urahara shop (that explains the Urahara part XD) -Kisuke and Yoruichi were childhood friends -Kisuke used to be the 3rd Seat of the 2nd Division and was the head of the Punishment/Confinement Unit -In the 3rd Bleach ending, (12th Division Version), Kisuke is seen with his Captain's haori in a sort-of flashback from the past. (I'm surprised no one wrote about Kisuke...) YORUICHI SHIHOIN: -The current head of the Shihoin clan. -The former 2nd Division Captain (I know this was said already) -Childhood Friend of Kisuke Urahara -Credited to be the "Fastest Person" in Bleach. -She can take the form of a cat with a masculine voice. -She was Soi Fon's mentor. VIZARDS: -All of the Vizards are composed of former Captains and Lieutenants. -The Vizards are not heard of again after the fight with Aizen. -Shinji Hirako, Love Aikawa, Rojuro Otobarashi, and Kensei Muguruma were Captains. -Mashiro Kuna, Hiyori Sarugaki, and Lisa Yadomaru were Lieutenants. -Hachigen Ushoda was the lieutenant of the Kido Corps. -They all reside in the world of the living. -They all have the capabilities of hollows and Soul Reapers. TESSAI TSUKABISHI: -Was the former Head of the Kido Corps. -Works alongside Kisuke Urahara -Was originally sentenced to prison, but saved by Yoruichi Shihoin. JUSHIRO UKITAKE: -Even though his hair is white, his eyebrows are black. His hair didn't turn white until he caught a disease. It could be hinted that he had black hair. -He comes from the noble Ukitake family. RENJI ABARAI: -He is the 6th Division's lieutenant (derr) -His tattoos were gained from his time in the 11th Division. -He has achieved bankai (Hihio Zabimaru) -He used to belong to the Fifth Division. -He's good childhood friends with Rukia Kuchiki. -He went to the Shinigami Academy, being classmates with Izuru Kira and Momo Hinamori IZURU KIRA: -He's the 3rd Division Lieutenant (derr...again) -He used to belong to the Fifth Division. -It's hinted that he might have belonged to the 4th Division -He went to the Shinigami Academy with Renji Abarai and Momo Hinamori. SOSUKE AIZEN: -Former 5th Division Captain -He conducted the hollowfication experiments. Not Kisuke Urahara. -Currently imprisoned for 20,000 years. -Infused with the Hogyoku -Created the Espada and majority of the arrancars. -Defected from the Soul Society SHUSUKE AMAGAI: -His real name isn't Shusuke Amagai -He was the true mastermind behind the Bakoto incident -He was apart of the Onmitsukudo -He was the former 3rd Division Captain -He can't hold his liquor. -He commits suicide after realizing the truth behind his father's murder. GIN ICHIMARU: -He was childhood friends with Rangiku Matsumoto -He killed the 5th DIvision's 3rd seat. -He became the 5th Division's lieutenant. -He then became the 3rd Division's Captain. -He defected with Aizen. -He hosts the Arracar Encyclopedia. -He dies at the hand of Aizen -His true eye color is debated. In episode 48, his eyes are seen as red. However, in other episodes, his eyes are a light blue. -He remains loyal to Aizen. That's all I can think of right now..

raaghavareddy I just started with bleach 3monthes and i saw all you have cool stuff

ling15 Really cool facts about Bleach characters and Tite Kubo. I really enjoy it. Hope You guys post more interesting things. :)

Thenight3710 Hallebels hollow hole is in her womb.

Akamese_Chan I love it how you have all these information here! I just don't really get why they cut their hair though in the manga. I mean like, what do you mean by "Olden Days?" Just wonderin'.

blackpanther666 I suppose I could add some random facts, though people may already know them. Coyote Starrk: -Originally, he was one being, a Hollow that split itself into two beings through sheer loneliness. This is how Lilinette and Starrk were 'born', so to speak. -To perform his Resurreccion, Starrk has to invoke the underlying power in Lilinette and manipulate that through the palm of his hand, where her body and Zanpakuto, along with his Zanpakuto, disappear and then Starrk shows off his Resurreccion, where Lilinette is voicing of his guns. -Starrk fingers Lilinette's butthole on two separate occasions, in the same battle, but against different characters. (During Starrk Vs. Shunsui and Starrk Vs. Love and Rose) -Starrk never truly wanted to fight, he simply though he had found a companion in Sosuke Aizen and so he followed him, in hopes that Aizen would provide a level of companionship. -Starrk offered to 'play around' in his fight against Shunsui, but the offer was turned down by a particularly resolved Shunsui, who had no reservations about fighting the Primera Espada, whether he was a 'toughie' or not. -Starrk's release command is: 'Kick about, Los Lobos' and turns into a pair of guns that can fire Ceros, and also a special attack called Cero Metralleta. Starrk can also split his soul into pieces and use them as weapons, that appear as a series of wolves, that can be mistaken for flames. Genryuusai Shigekuni Yamamoto: -Old Man Yama created the Shino Academy and the first Shinigami to graduate were Shunsui Kyoraku and Jushiro Ukitake, his very first students. It is reputed that Unohana also graduated sometime around this time, too, though I am unsure of exactly when - however, they three were the first Captains to come from the Shino Academy. -His Zanpakuto is Ryuujin Jakka ('Flowing flame blade', or 'Flowing blade like fire') and the release command is: 'Turn/reduce everything in the universe to ashes, or turn all things in the universe to ashes'. -He is roughly 3,500 - 5, 000 years old, being Head-Captain for 1000 years and a Captain for about 3,000 years. -He loves to drink tea, but in the Eastern style of tea drinking, as opposed to his Vice-Captain, Sasakibe, who preferred to drink tea in the Western style. -He taught Kenpachi Zaraki how to use a sword, two-handed kendo-style. -He taught Shunsui and Jushiro everything they know as Shinigami and probably taught Unohana much of the ways of the Shinigami, too. Both Jushiro and Shunsui refer to him as 'Master', or Sensei. -He saved Sajin Komamura, and taught him many things, earning Sajin's undying respect as a teacher. Hope everyone enjoyed these and didn't find them boring, repetitive or just plain out of place. XD

hellsangels23 These are really good!!!! awesome facts!! :D By any chance do you know about Kurosaki Isshin's past in the soul society?

LoveCom Whoa. Awesome infos... Oh and did you know that Ichigo is popular among the ladies? :P Ririn (can't spell the name), Nel, and that rich girl (the blond hair with green eyes girl) have all attachments to him. Well, maybe that info isn't really strong enough to prove that he's popular, but I read it in the Shouen book in the Bleach section and I'm positive that it said that.
