You got it right, BROTHER BANK-KAI. When I first heard of Bleach 8 years ago, I had no interest in it, but when it came to Adult Swim in 2006, I couldn't get enough of it. Like many people, I feel Bleach has its weaknesses, but I'm not going to quit on it just because a few things have happened that I don't like about it.

I may be pushing it a bit far, but I don't feel people who drop Bleach upon a character death are true fans of the series. I'm not saying I like the idea of certain characters dying (namely Byakuya and Yamamoto, who were some of the best captains), but at the same time, I'm not going to consider dropping it just because it's happening. If you drop a series just because your absolute favorite character happens to die, then it tells me that you were never truly a fan of the series; you were only interested in said character, and now that he/she is gone, there's nothing to secure your interest in the series anymore. To me, this is the mark of an immature fan. The series does not revolve around one character, and it will continue without the character (until Kubo ends the series).

And if anyone wants to call me out on this, I'll let you know, I'm fully prepared if Kubo kills off Ichigo as well, whether if it's sometime during the middle of the arc, or at the end of the arc.

So I don't get too far off the subject, I'm not okay with Kubo giving Ichigo Quincy powers, or even making a fan theory canon, but at the same time, I know that Kubo's left a lot of plot holes open in previous arcs that might never have a clear answer. With this knowledge in mind, I'm still going to follow the series until Kubo ends it.
