Forum:Will Bleach End Before 2012?

I want to hear your opinion. Frostymoon 09:52, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

I think this arc will certainly end before then, but will Bleach? I suppose it depends on if Tite can continue to write an interesting plot that keeps readers coming back. If future arcs fail to fascinate, or if Tite himself gets bored, then Bleach may very well end. Of course, I don't have any concrete information, so it's merely guesswork as to what will happen in the next two years. Twocents 03:47, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Supply and demand people, basic business practices. If there is enough demand for something, then the best business marketing approach is to keep the supply coming (aka the manga/anime). If at some point the demand lessens or the supplier finds some reason to stop production of said "product" then yes, the anime or manga will finish off, and Tite will send himself in a direction that he feels will benefit the public as well as himself. Either a brand new evolution of Bleach, or something completely different. As of now, it doesn't seem like he is going to stop any time soon. There is enough public demand for more Bleach all the time, especially in Japan. The people don't want it to end just yet. We shall see how long it lasts =). It could be a new Naruto, and pick up a "naruto shippuden" approach and extend the series for a long time. So in other words, my guess is that the series will continue well past 2012.

Well in 2012 Bleach will be 11 years old. That was around the about the time Inuyasha and Dragonball ended. On the other hand One Piece is in its 12th years and Naruto in its 10th. I don't follow either of those two series but I gather there is no sign of either of them ending any time soon. In one of his past interviews, Kubo said "I can't really say how long this story will be by the time it ends, but I have a few more stories that I want to tell, so this series will go on for a while." This was when Bleach was upto volume 33. Certainly in the 8 volumes since the interview, Kubo has told a few more stories about the characters in the Bleach universe and stuff but I don't think he had run out of stories to tell yet. So no I don't think Bleach will end before 2012. Tinni 07:45, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

With all the fun stuff we've heard about so far with the Royal Realm where the King of Soul Society resides being guarded by powerful ex-Gotei 13 captains, I can only hope that Aizen either makes the key to open up the realm, or they come forward first realizing he's that much of a threat. After all, not only has Aizen not even gotten serious with anyone who has came up against him, he has yet to show his Bankai. I just feel that there is no way it's close to ending or will end with this fight above fake Karakura. And we haven't learned about Isshin Kurosaki's past either. This story has become so cool and complex that I think if Tite Kubo wanted to, this could go on for much longer so long as the public enjoys it. I know I enjoy it, it's original, the characters are all great, and the fight scenes are the best. Not to mention this has got to be the best drawn out cartoon ever with everyone looking so unique, it's just awesome. I look forward to all the new stuff coming out, while only grumbling just a bit with the fillers.
