Imaginary number 01. the unforgivens
Maybe should be under See Also until we see if it's actually put into a tankobon? WD  Converse  00:18, December 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Seems reasonable. If usual patter is followed then the next volume is out in 2 months time. 10:41, December 4, 2010 (UTC)

suggestion add chapters - arcs sequence?
How about adding a chapters based on arcs section for e.g. (just like the episodes section)

chapter 1-70 shinigami agent arc

chapter 71-117 ss sneak entry arc

chapter 118-183 ss rescue arc

chapter 184-229 arrancar arrival arc

chapter 230-251 hm sneak entry arc

chapter 252-286 hm fierce fight arc

chapter 287-315 arrancar vs shinigami arc

chapter (108-97) past arc

chapter 316-340 decisive battle arc chapter 341-423 downfall arc

chapter 424-ongoing lost shinigami agent arc

the chapter stated are just estimation (need some confirmation)Soulreaper1234 (talk) 15:26, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Those are anime arcs. They are not manga arcsGod (Pray)  16:35, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah I know thats only a suggestion I dont know what arcs title based on manga chapters, however, like they do in OPwikia & Narutowikia eg like this,

http://onepiece.wikia.com/wiki/Chapters_and_Volumes or

http://naruto.wikia.com/wiki/Plot_of_Naruto

As strange as it may sound we are not the OP wiki or the Naruto Wiki, we're the Bleach Wiki and we have a different way of organizing things. The chapters are compiled within volumes, as you can see in the article, so separating them by arcs would be a waste of space. The Anime article is divided that way because it has many different arcs, but doing such for the manga chapters is unnecessary. Lia Schiffer  (Talk)  19:17, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

As Lia said, we are not (shocker) the One piece wiki or Naruto wiki. We do things how we believe they should be done, not how one piece wiki thinks it should be done. Looking at your examples, one piece wiki does it the same way we do, they just have a table of the arcs listed at the top. Naruto wikis is just a mess, they don't have chapters or volumes listed, they just have arcs with a short summary. Our chapters page is quite organized and there is no need to change it.--God (Pray)  19:30, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

It does not sound strange why it should be, even though the other big2 already done this thing, you just create the page or section & summarize the chapters according to manga arcs, Bleachwikia is not them yeah I know that, but the thing is if you do this other than summarizing the volumes ie 48 volumes at least we know what chapter/how many chapter in each manga arcs or maybe some people wanted to know if the episode has this number of arcs the chapter had how many already? Or maybe in Bleach theres no manga/chapter's arcs? Hope others would look into this & not feel offended mataku. Soulreaper1234 (talk) 19:40, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Let's get something straight here, the manga arcs are The Shinigami Arc (Chapter 1 - 178) and then Arrancar Arc (Chapter 179 - 423). Maybe the Shinigami Arc can be divided into Agent of the Shinigami and Soul Society Arc but as far as I know, Kubo has never made any official statement about that arc. Only thing he has ever said was that he considers Chapter 179 onwards to be the Arrancar Arc. Now we could potentially put Volume 1 to Volume 20 under the sub heading "The Shinigami Arc" and then Volume 21 to Volume 48 under the sub heading "The Arrancar Arc". However, we can also put Volume 1 to Volume 48 under "Act 1" and "Volume 49 - onwards" under "Act 2" since Volume 49 is set 17 months after Volume 48 and is telling a brand new story. You see where I am going with this? Arbitrary grouping is, well arbitrary. Kubo himself groups the chapters by sharing names "Decide", "End of hypnosis" etc and he groups them by volumes. These are all reflected in our page. Let's not start making things-up when we don't really need to. Tinni  (Talk)  20:15, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

I see what you are getting at - there is some merit in a small list saying what chapters are in the arc if it were possible - but we do not know that officially, so we can't do it. Aside from the start of the current arc and end of the Arrancar arc, I don't recall ever seeing what Kubo defines as the arcs (not sure where Tinni saw the start of Arrancar arc cited). Just fan names and the anime arc titles being applied to manga. We would need to have concrete proof of such things before doing anything and right now we don't. The site has enough problems without us starting to make things up. 22:31, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
