Harvey Batman wrote: There are some parts that I agree with Timjer when it comes to worldbuilding, as I said, the Soul King revelation is my favorite. I have never had an issue with world building it is fine to build around the world already established.

BUT

When someone takes that established world and decide that its all lies is a severe lack of creativity on the authors part.

Could have easily been done that Tokinada was pardoned for murder because of connections but NO! The whole Soul Society must actually be based on evil and the Nobles have actually been controlling it all despite no mention of it and Byakuya, the Head of one of the big Noble Clans, feeling tied by Central 46's decision regarding his relative. Not to mention Yoruichi being exiled for helping Urahara and SHE was the head too of another massive clan.

Now they actually hold all the cards and have done all along?? Nah if you have to destroy the world and rules already established then it becomes a severe lack of creativity. That's rebooting everything because can't think of where to go and where to pull the next major villain from.

And the old "Kubo approved" argument is still meh to me, he approved all the movies despite them coming out of no where most of the time and breaking his own rules too. Meh to it all. And everyone I have spoken to who have watched and read Bleach from the start are in agreement with me on this.

Timjer wrote: Well, I don't think the "nail" (if that's even translated correctly) refers to finger- or toenails at all. Considering there is also mentions of the "chain", I think both might be related to the Soul King's version of the "Saketsu". So....we are now just speculating what it means and what it doesn't mean?? I mean thats not a nail, like at all. Again highlighting severe issues with these novels we are relying on amateur (IE ntot getting paid not professional) translations that nobody seems clear cut on.

Every time someone says one thing you say it COULD mean another thing or it didn't happen or whatever.

Also yes Retconning the Fullbringers....yeah no thank you at all. Bowing out of this cringefest.
