User blog comment:Toshiroichigo/Kensei and Rose's Deaths- Were they Necessary?/@comment-24282510-20140430143423

Of course being a fanfav protects them from serious harm/death. Like you stated about Byakuya he was gutted then shredded multiple times and lived. Being a fanfav also grants them the power to get big flashly power ups and be exempt from rules that every other characther is affected by.

Has for Rose and Kensei dying they were even less effective has saying oh i don't remember the number given in the 1st half of the arc 2091 nameless redshirts dying mostly off screen. They didn't move the story along. Gremmy, Isane, and pink haired tot (i can't spell her name nor look it up) were going to fight and lose anyway.

The only thing i can think of that their deaths served was to clear up plotkai to give it to the favfavs so Kubo could give them, the fanfavs big flashly power ups after big flashly power ups with little to no story behind them. Big flashily power ups are not storys by themselves. Thus making the last the last half even more hard to read and take seriously.

Oh dear did i just say that some random redshirts (which we had never heard of before) death that happenned off screen was less of an impact then a main characters death (which has never happenned in bleach because Kubo is unwilling to make an actual story). And that big flashily power ups is not a story.

Incoming haters alert!

Hater comments just pass right on though my head just like those random MEANLESS flashily power ups you people like so much.
