Forum:Similarity to other series (bar ZP)

Here you can post about any similarities you think you see between characters and events in Bleach and other series, excluding Zombie Powder, which already has its own thread by virtue of being from the same author as Bleach. Do not post comparisons anywhere else as they will be moved here. --Yyp 17:06, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Gantenbainne Mosqueda - a tribute to Akria Toriyama?
I believe so. As some of you may know that Akria Toriyama is the creator of the Dragonball franchise. Tite Kubo's first attempt to get Bleach into Shonen Jump failed. Akria Toriyama wrote Tite Kubo a letter of encouragement saying that Bleach had a great plot and that he should try to enter Bleach into Shonen Jump again. Gantenbainne's release form is called Dragon Fist which is a technique used by Goku, the main character in the Dragonball series. Also when he fires his cero he is in a similar stance to the Kamehameha stance. Gantebainne's orange afro might be a reference to the dragonballs as well as the star on his broken mask. Gantenbainne only fights hand to hand like most of the characters in the Dragonball series. Ztr9 21:52, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

i'd have to agree with you. and i'm suprised that his name isn't related in some way(unless i'm forgeting something and i'm a BIG fan of DBZ).Soul reaper magnum 07:53, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

I think Ichigo's hair growing long during his second vizard form is more of a tribute to Dragonball (Super Saiyain for the win!) then Gantenbainne but he could be a tribute too. Tinni 07:56, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Kensei Resemblance

Bleach similarities with Naruto
Heroes (Ichigo and Naruto) are short templed, kind-hearted and gutsy, both insanely strong and can go against the strongest enemies, and both have a tendency to trash talk but still be able to give inspiring speeches.Both have a inner power (hollow ichigo and nine tail fox), true strenght comes out when they are protecting the ones they care about the most a female. Both inner powers can heal the hero.Flaminghorse, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
