Forum:Just a question

Ok, so I was watching episode 235 and I saw something that has bothered me about Bleach and most anime. Shuhei was running away from his zanpakto spirit, and he was supposedly running very fast, but his arms were just limp behind him. Now I'm not to try to make sense or ask for reality about a show like this, but seriously, WTF is with the way animators have to make the characters run?

Also minus occasionally Ichigo, why is it protagonists generally don't try to make a difference unless they know they have the upper hand or some kind of advanced weapon/technology/technique?

Ok that's it for now, let me know what you think or if you have something like this you want to talk about. --Ihaveaname 19:30, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Weird running? Sometimes the art is great. Sometimes it isn't.

These duels are supposed to be to the death. That's something to be taken seriously, and in war, you're not supposed to fight fair. Also, in nearly any TV show, the heroes are reactive to what the villains do. (That's one reason villains generally have more power; it prevents the viewer from asking "why doesn't [hero] sneak into [villain]'s palace and wreck [villain]'s plan?"

On the running issue, on thing that has always bothered me, is why do they use their legs so much instead of shunpo, there has been countless situations where if ichigo just used shunpo he would save himself a lot of time and effort. It's hardly like they find it tiring, we've seen them fight for extended periods of time while using shunpo/abilities/etc.

If i could shunpo i'd hardly ever run normally again.HOOOOOOOOO 02:12, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

i think shunpo is like a way of running that gives them the speed, so it depends on how faster they are going to give the effect of them running. So if they aren't going fast enough you don't see them kind of do that disappear/reappear thing. and who knows, maybe it takes up a lot of energy and you only use it if you need it. As far as the arm thing, i think it's like a fighting thing, there arms are always at a position to be brought up to attack or block. Because in bleach they only run that way during a fight, but in normal times, if there running it's completely normal looking. Now I'm sure in real life that idea of running for attack reasons is flawed, but it's not real, so they can do it

I don't think that it's taking alot of energy seeing as Yoruichi could do 100-200 shunpos just after she changed back to human form in 100 years. Ya she was breathing hard a little but still it was after such a long unactivity. Or in fight Ichigo VS Byakua Ichigo was shunping ALOT when he was running in circles around him and he wasn't affected by it at all. They just run normally because if they were shunping all the time, there would not be enough time for some conversations they do while they are running. Ergroilnin 13:50, September 4, 2009 (UTC)

The amount of energy might depend on their mastery of shunpo as well. Ichigo is just plain powerful, whereas Captain Kuchiki is very good at shunpo and Yoruichi is the master of it. PSH aka Kimera 757 (talk) 14:25, September 4, 2009 (UTC)
