Forum:Filler Arcs

Why has the filler arcs not make any sence with the bleach timeline at all? Has kubo gone nuts? at 1st Kubo did the right thing by haveing a Bount arc and a Menos forest mini arc. These made sence because they were actually in the bleach timeline sort of. Why would Kubo go and make a new third captain arc right in the middle of the hueco mundo arc or a zampacto tail arc out of no where? these filler arcs made no sence and did not corespond to how bleach mechanics should work. example: when ichigo gets his sword stolen and he turns into that same hollow that he was when he was getting his mask. He should have been able to put on his mask without his bankai because he has done it before. also why would Zangetsu's getsuga tensho look black in bankai? at that point he is not mixed with hollow ichigo. these filler arcs have made no sense and are just ways to keep the anime from getting to close to the manga. i don't see DBZ filler arcs mess up like Bleach did. Who here agrees with me that kubo should be makeing filler arcs like the bount arc that actually make sense? i dont know if i am just comming up with idea randomly but wouldn't have been a good idea to come up with one when ichigo was in the garganta with his friends or now? make the garganta a brand new world that because wasn't it siad that those who fall never come back? well everyone thought the world was flat at one point. so why can't kubo do something like that instead of making up a completly seperate story? wouldn't that be better?

Firstly, sign your posts adding four ~ at the end of them. Secondly, Kubo doesn't do the filler arcs, he doesn't draw the anime at all, it's the anime team who thinks of them, writes them, etc. Tite Kubo participated in the Zanpakuto arc in the design of the Zanpakuto spirits, and is obviously told beforehand of what the Anime team is doing, but he does not intervene in it at all. Some filler episodes or character, like Ashido, or the Karakura-Rizer are based on ideas that Kubo wanted to draw for the manga but was unable to due to time. And I actually prefer that filler arcs are done as side stories, that way they don't mess with the actual main story from the manga, and so they don't create a massive mess to end up making the story unrecognizable (like many filler episodes or mini-arcs from the D-Gray Man anime).

Time Placement
Could someone place this filler and other fillers in the canon timeline for me please. I know that as filler they are technically non-canon and do not actually fit, but I like to try and fit them in my mind anyway...

My theory is: -Bount Arc is between Soul Society and Arrancar Arcs... -Shusuke Amagai, Zanpakuto Tales, and Toju Conflict Arcs takes place in the month Ichigo spends training with the Visored... -Reigai Uprising Arc obviously takes place after Ichigo activates Final Getsuga Tensho...

I suppose you could place them all after the final Aizen fight, but then you run into some inconsistencies with dialogue...like when they talk about Aizen...

I know this is stupid, but if anyone could give their opinion, that would be great =)

 * Fillers happen in an alternate timeline, they do not fit anywhere in the main timeline.--
