User blog comment:Salubri/Whats Wrong in the Storyline of Bleach/@comment-1358822-20120602063050

I'm not gonna sit here and say you're wrong, because I can fully see every point you're trying to make. You clearly state what you believe, and then back it up with clear, solid facts. That is very hard to find in people nowadays. One thing I will call you out on is when you say that Ichigo doesn't even try to understand his Hollow powers. At first, no, he doesn't. He does his best to try and get rid of them. But eventually he caves and goes directly to the people he knows can help him (i.e. the Visoreds). He trains endlessly to take control of the power, and can eventually use it to its fullest extent. Also I would like to attack your statement that Bleach is lacking plot twists. In my opinion, I feel that Bleach has a wide variety of plot twists, including when we find out that it was in fact a Hollow that killed his mother, when it is revealed that Aizen has betrayed the Soul Society, and when we discover that Ginjo is a bad guy. Anyway, besides that, I think what you're trying to say is that Bleach is lacking an overall theme to the story. I would like to disagree with you, but unfortunately I can't think of what a possible theme might be, so I am forced to admit that you are right. To this end, I would like to propose a theory: perhaps Tite Kubo isn't trying to make the story a genius work of literature (because let's face it, that really isn't what mangas are about). Instead, perhaps his purpose for writing the series is solely to entertain people? And to add to that, are mangas really for people who are older and know better? Even though that's a great majority of its audience? Just something to think about.
