Bleach rant...wtf a rant long in the making


Sry I know i should b doing LT **** but this has been annoying me and i have no where else to vent.

Ok wtf is up with Bleach the manga/anime. Now in a series ofcourse u have the main characters now i was under the impression the main characters in Bleach were;
Ichigo
Rukia
Ishida
Chad
Orihime and
Renji

So why have the writers decided as the series progresses to give these characters a lesser role and have them over shadowed by extras, wots the point in having main characters if they gonna do fuk all to progress the storyline.

Now at the moment the MAIN character went to Hueco mundo to rescue Orihime who was captured by Aizen the main enemy and his espada. Once there Ichigo, Ishida and Chad fought 3 of the origanal and weaker espada and defeated them fair enough i think and Rukia defeated Espada no9. And Ichigo defeated Grimmjow the Espada number 6 in there 3rd fight. Once again fair enough they are main character they should defeat major enemies. However heres where the story gets stupid.

Renji was fighting against Espada no8 but was struggling eventually getting help from Ishida but together they could not defeat him due to his freaky powers. Meanwhile Chad got mortally injured against Espada no5 who then went on to fight the weakened Ichigo and thrashed Ichigo, jst when all hope is lost some shimigami captains arrive to save the day, Kenpachi came and defeated Espada no5 which i accepted greatly cause he had a large role in the previous arc the soul society arc having fighting and being defeated by Ichigo and later helping the heroes, Unohana arrived but didnt fight anyone she simply arrived to heal again fair enough she never had a large role, Byakuya arrived and saved the wounded Rukia by killing Espada no7, again i accepted that as Byakuya had a large role before being Ichigo's final battle in the previous arc and being Rukia's brother, and finally Mayuri Kurotsuchi arrived and saved Ishida and Renji by defeating Espada no8 once again i accepted this since it was only espada no8 and he had a role in previous arc fighting and being defeated by Ishida. But it would of been nice seeing him defeated by Renji since he didnt get to achieve anything in arc.

Now above was acceptable since 3 of the 4 captains there were once enemies of the main characters.

Then Aizens plan came together Ichigo and the others were stuck in Hueco Mundo while Aizen and the remaining espada attacked the real world but were confronted by the remaining shimigami captains.

Origanally a series of cool fights to place between some cool characters and minor enemies which i enjoyed. Meanwhile Hitsugaya fought espada no3, I was all for Hitsugaya defeating an espada since he did have a large role since his introducation in the previous arc Plus he's cool. 2 of the strongest captains who previously had a small role fought Espada no1 and Soi Fon fought Espada no2 Soi Fon had so far had a gd role so i would of excepted her defeating an Espada but to be honest I would of liked the higher ranking Espada defeated by more reconisable characters. But I'll except it.

Also while this was happening Ichigo fought and defeated Espada no4 in Hueco Mundo, While the other character fought some squad tho little to none of this fight is shown jst rukia beating the leader of these guys who arent actually strong. Ishida got a brief role getting Espada no10 out of the way but didnt defeat him jst had him fall down a few floors and after they beleived Ichigo dead tried to fight espada no4 but got his arm cut off. The last we see of our heroes Espada no10 Yami releases his sword on the other characters (Ichigo, Ishida and Orihime are elsewhere) and says the ranking system actually goes from 0-9 and not 1-9 and the 1 from the tatoo on his chest disappears.

Then it shifts to the real world fights, its believed to espada 1-3's have been defeated but turns out they aint. But then the Vizard appears to save the day, heres where i get pissed off. Previously to Vizard have had little to no role, apart from 2 of the 9 (i think theres 9 of them) who interacted with the main characters more. The only thing the Vizard had done was help Ichigo learn to control his hollow form since they have the same power. They also got a brief few chapters on there history they were previously Shimigami captains and vice captains who got hollow powers and left soul society they have a history with Aizen aswell.

1 of the Vizard Hacchi goes off and fights Espada no2, previous Hacchi had absoultly no role apart from putting up a barrier during Ichigo Hollowfication and told Orihime that he and her have similar powers and revives one of her flower fairy things which she hasnt actually used since. And Wtf He defeats it! Espada no2 gets defeated by an extra!

Then 2 more Vizard who have had an even less role are currently fighting Espada no1!!!!!  And I bet they gonna have them defeat him, but tbh it wouldnt matter since they've already fuked up the storyline and pissed off many fans. Seriously when are the main characters gonna get a half decent role ffs, the only ones are Ichigo and Rukia.

Now compared to other mangas I read which keep getting better and better.
Naruto for example have there main characters (Naruto, Sasuke, Sakura, Kakashi) These were the characters introduced at the start of the series and have had gd large role through out. Even those mainish character introduced at the start of Shippuden (Sai and Yamato) havent had as large of a role which is great. By doing this when a major but not main character has a moment in the spot light its exciting and fun to read, example when Shikamaru fights and defeats Hidan a member of Akatsuki but that being said Shikamaru has had such a large role through out the series u could call him a main.

So far all major enemies in Naruto have been defeated by a main.
Akasuki members;
Sasori defeated by Sakura with help from Chiyo a minor character i surpose.
Hidan defeated by Shikamaru
Kakuzu defeated by Naruto
Diedara origanally defeated by Kakashi but survived but later fought and was killed by Sasuke
Itachi defeated by Sasuke
Pain Defeated by Naruto
Orichimaru defeated by Sasuke

Now as u can see we've had no major enemies defeated by Choiji, Kiba or another major but not main character. I think thats the sacrifice u have to make when u gonna have alot of characters in a series Bleach are trying to have all characters do something worth while but the result is stupid extra characters are doing more than the main characters and the Bleach series has lost alot of fans this way i think.

All other mangas I've read or are currently reading follow a similar path to Naruto. Infact the only other time I've been very dissapointed in manga was in the final battle in Rave Master or Groove Adventure Rave where Musica my favourite character in the series and a character who had been in the series since near the very fuking beginning got to do fuk all in the final battle where all other characters teamed up to fight demon gods and **** he simply ran around delivering **** there was 1 point i thought he was gonna get to fight an advancing army and its leader so no one interupted the final battle behind Haru and Lucia. But then Shuda arrived and told him to deliever a staff to Elle and Shuda fought the army that was annoying cause asmuch as I liked Shuda he had already played a great part by single handenly defeat one of the demon god guys, and he was a supporting characters. So in the final fight all Muscia got to do was run around and actually did fuk all except give Elle her staff oh and sheilded her from falling rocks. That annoyed me greatly and now that i think about it Musica last major fight was against one of the Blue Guardians 2 arcs before the final arc after that all he actually did was make a sword and play delivery boy.

Anyway thats enough for now, and I feel better letting it out.

Seriously thats Espada no 1!! killed by surprise surprise an extra character whos only previous role was beating up chad a couple arcs back and helped in saving rukia. Its jst getting ridiculas I think the author given up on there series cause in the same chapter espada no 3, who was actually fighting a favourite character of mine and 1 who's had such a gd role in all previous arc u could count him as a main maybe semi main gets killed in 1 page by Aizen. I can except Aizen killing off one of his elite since he's the main antagonist but seriously i jst dont think the author cares anymore. The main characters havent actually appeared in fuking ages.

The writers should know when to tie up the story and bow out gracefully.  That said, it could be the executives forcing them to keep it going for as long as possible.

Wot by having major enemies defeated by extras and by killing 2 major enemies in a single 18 page chapter looks like they rushing the story i wouldnt b fuking surprised if in the next chapter Aizen gets killed by the old guy and they forget about the main characters anyway it doesnt matter wot they do they've dragged the story through the **** that no matter wot they have the mains do it wont satistfie, and it jst isnt entertaining if ur fav characters aint doing fuk all.
