There could be different causes: 1. Bleach's popularity is dwindling in Japan; not really as popular there. Hence why the only mangaka who seems to acknolwedge it is Gintama's creator Hideaki Sorachi. Basically, whenever Jump has special occasions, whens the last time Bleach or the creator had a huge front line chance for one-shots or represent Bleach at all? 2. The filler arcs are known to be dispisable. The last one before the Fullbringer arc could've been the final nail in the coffin. 3. Timeslot, it was replaced by a Naruto SPINOFF. 4. Likely so the manga can get ahead. It could get OVAs of the final arc or an entirely new series in the future.
