Forum:Why does everyone hate fullbring?

Seriously, I can't help but wonder. Almost everywhere I go, people talk about the Fullbring ability in almost a scoffing manner and seem happy that Ichigo lost his Fullbring powers to regain his game breaking Shinigami powers. I mean, there's nothing interesting about his Shinigami powers save that he is really, really strong and looks extremely japanese-fashionable. To me, Fullbring was a fun concept - and I thought it was cool when Ichigo gained such powers (It brought Ichigo's nature as a child born of a Shinigami/Human pairing to it's most logical conclusion) so naturally when his Fullbring was taken, it was like a kick in the throat for me. Sure his new robes look fancy, and it's all a return back to normalcy, but he's no longer a human who can wear his shinigami powers in the real world - he's a shinigami who can shed his human shell and become super-ghost.

Please tell me I'm not the only one here who thought his Fullbring powers were better, and that had Kubo developed them more properly, could have been so much cooler? After all, he was still using his Shinigami powers - he was just in human form when he did it (Before you say anything, it was said Ichigo's Fullbring was melding with his Shinigami powers, and Getsuga Tensho showed this - I feel this proof enough that he was just wearing his shinigami powers.)

I can't say I speak for everyone, but I think the reason why most people didn't like the current arc or Fullbring is because of the lack of Shinigami characters that were present in the story, and I'm sure they started to feel better when they finally showed up. And as unfortunate as it is, a large portion of the Bleach fanbase centers more around the Shinigami characters than it does the Human characters, since there's a sheer number of Shinigami characters over Human characters.

But getting on Ichigo's case... I'm not saying I liked his Fullbring more than his Shinigami powers, but like you, I actually was hoping we'd see Ichigo use his Fullbring more than just fighting Tsukishima. Ichigo trying to adapt in a body he isn't used to fighting in, as well as utilizing an unfamiliar power (to him anyway) would have been very interesting to see, not to mention what Kugo already told Ichigo (merging his Fullbring with his Shinigami powers).

My guess for people preferring Ichigo's Shinigami powers over his Fullbring is likely because he's already fought in that form. He's very formidable and very powerful, both in his Shikai and his Bankai, and he's adapted to fighting in both states to the point where he fights on-par with high-level opponents. Additionally, many fans wanted his powers to return since the first chapter of the arc, so it was a long-anticipated event. Arrancar109 (Talk)  08:41, December 14, 2011 (UTC)
