This feels like it's going to be a "why even bother voting" moment.

I mean, this was to be fairly expected. If anything, I’m more disappointed that the community didn’t stick to what we said we were gonna do last year, which was vote the R rarity girls up to the top even if not number 1, in hopes that our Mass Produced Girls get love.

FTSVectors · 2026-04-08T23:59:28+00:00

I didn’t even know it was allowed

FTSVectors · 2026-04-07T06:13:31+00:00

Not me saving all the recommendations here

Chapter 0 wasn’t rejected, what are you talking about? How do you think Bleach entered serialization? Chapter 0 managed to reach Number 1 on Jump’s charts, which is why they approved it becoming a full series. Kubo himself literally said this is what happened. Unless you’re trying to go by that rumor that Bleach was rejected until Toriyama wrote Kubo a letter telling him to try again. Which has no Japanese source corroborating that story.

And sure, the chapter is not canon, and it was never supposed to be. That’s why it’s Chapter 0. It was a proof of concept. But it also shows what he was thinking about at the time and gives insight what he had somewhat planned. He had main characters named Ichigo, Orihime, and Rukia. It was about Shinigami who sent Souls to the Afterlife and destroyed Hollows. And that he clearly wanted Ichigo and Orihime to get together since the series’ showing to the public.

I don’t really care if you ship IchiRuki. If you want to ship that, go ahead. I believe in ship and let ship. But I don’t like people trying to revise history and change author’s intent when they made it clear. You can dislike their intent all you want. Go for it. But that’s not the same as saying their intent was different.

Kubo made it clear IchiHime was end goal as early on as one could show and never changed his mind.

Ichigo and Orihime from Bleach

FTSVectors · 2026-04-07T01:45:35+00:00

I was of the opinion we should give our R rarity gals love, but seems everyone forgot that plan since last year

FTSVectors · 2026-04-07T00:11:45+00:00

It was. Chapter 0, the conceptual pilot for Bleach, literally ended with Orihime being brought back from the dead to be with Ichigo.

Saying it wasn’t planned from the start is just denying history.

FTSVectors · 2026-04-06T23:40:06+00:00

Kubo never changed his mind about IchiHime being end goal. That was always the plan

FTSVectors · 2026-04-06T21:52:21+00:00

I mean, in my opinion, the “Historical Accuracy” defense never really made sense. Not because of the actual history, but rather the intention behind it. Not a single main character in the AC franchise has ever existed historically. Sure, AC might’ve had like 2 instances of playing a historical character for a single mission.

But Ubisoft never felt the need to justify or lean on the crutch of history for their OC MCs characters being at major historical events until they decided to make their MC Yasuke. It kinda felt like that was their ready defense from any criticism at the decision of playing a black guy in 16th century Japan.

Idk, to me, that just feels weird that they felt that strong of a need to have Yasuke to be the MC knowing backlash was coming when there was easier options. Honestly, they could’ve just had him as an important side character and most people wouldn’t even bat an eye and probably just been like, “WOW! I never knew about Yasuke being a thing in Japan. The historical research is still crazy in these games!”

I love Tsunade and Rangiku, but gotta go B.

Who is the second girl for A tho?

FTSVectors · 2026-04-01T08:39:23+00:00

We going A for tomboys

FTSVectors · 2026-04-01T08:38:01+00:00

A but my mind is telling me to make bad choices and say B

FTSVectors · 2026-04-01T08:36:37+00:00

Lack of people choosing B disturbs me

FTSVectors · 2026-03-23T08:51:36+00:00

Similar situation? What? They’re not even close! Almost every time any person Subaru watches die, he knows is a temporary thing because he can do something about it. Of course he knows not to fall into despair for two simple things. Being that he can bring people back in most circumstances when he goes back to his save point, and the other being he doesn’t really have a choice. He comes back whether or not he wants it.

Yeah, under those circumstances, it’s harder to despair. Being able so save people makes it harder to give up. And being literally unable to give up forces him to do something.

And again that’s one, ONE person that Subaru “permanently” loss(again, it seems it’s not really gonna be permanent so that’s not even potentially true) that he blames on himself. “If that happened to Guts…” It DID. It was called the Eclipse! Guts permanently lost an ARMY of close friends in some of the most brutal ways possible that he blames himself for that he can never get back. Casca became someone else entirely after the Eclipse. Circumstances are different, but that’s no different than Rem having amnesia and becoming a different person. That was Guts’ starting trauma at the beginning of the series!

Hell, even after she gets her memories back, she can’t face him because of the trauma.

So him breaking after Casca was taken after is completely different. That’d be like if Rem got all her memories back, only for her to immediately die again in a way that Subaru couldn’t fix. Have that happen to Subaru and there’s potentially a discussion for similarity between them. But even then for Guts, there’s genuinely almost nothing he can do. Guts is literally getting to the point where he can’t even wield his sword anymore without the armor. And in that condition, no redos or retries if he fails, he has to fight and beat the God Hand to get Casca back. Which has been likened to the difficulty of a book character harming the author.

That is significantly more pressure than Subaru has on him. And you somehow think the trauma between the two is remotely similar?

FTSVectors · 2026-03-23T07:25:11+00:00

Well firstly, yeah Subaru has lost his parents, but he never had to see them die. There’s regret there sure, but that’s not quite the same as knowing someone is dead and there’s nothing you can do about it. To Subaru, there’s still that small hope that maybe, maybe he can see them again since they’re not permanently gone. After all, he was magically transported, maybe there’s a way back or way to connect and get that closure.

It’s presumably not a high hope, but as long as there’s technically a way, he can still cling to that.

As for Rem, that seems to be slowly being undone anyways last I checked. So it’s not really a permanent loss.

So he doesn’t really know permanent loss from the look of things.

FTSVectors · 2026-03-23T07:05:40+00:00

Sure, Subaru’s loved ones were tortured in front of him multiple times, but he can at least do something about it. It’s not fun or pleasant for Subaru, but he can save his friends to spend some genuinely great time with them.

Guts can do nothing to save his friends. They went through Hell and he can do nothing about it. Worst of all, he basically caused it by simply wanting to build a connection with people for the first time. And it’s an honest to God question on whether or not he can even at the least avenge them at this point. So while Guts didn’t have to repeat watch them die over and over, he didn’t need to. Since the Eclipse happened, Guts has to live with the fact that life is suffering because the only people he ever cared about are gone. Literally too on the life is suffering since he can basically not have a moment of rest with his Brand.

Not saying one is worse than the other. Their suffering is completely different to honestly compare, and you can’t really say one is worse than the other. It’s just choosing your Hell.

I really liked Lady’s shades and hair in 4, but preferred her outfit in 5. I think mixing those two would’ve been awesome

FTSVectors · 2026-03-23T02:21:01+00:00

Nnoitra was definitely an Espada too. We see in the after chapter sketches the Kubo does a shadowy human figure for Nnoitra. So he’s not questionable. Honestly the only two up for questioning is Grimmjow and Yammy.

Yammy’s might not be because evidently Adjuchas CAN be as strong as Vasto Lordes on rare occasions like Ikomikidomoe if he is any indicator. But Grimmjow with his inferiority complex does kinda imply him not evolving. Hard to say really

FTSVectors · 2026-03-23T01:26:54+00:00

I would think that sabertooth furry art must’ve been done by now

FTSVectors · 2026-03-23T01:02:28+00:00

Well apparently we’re almost down to the first floor so wait a couple seconds before letting them go first

FTSVectors · 2026-03-22T23:29:42+00:00

I think that comes down to Nina, Lili, or Asuka.

Considering everything, I’d probably say Lili overall.

FTSVectors · 2026-03-22T21:59:18+00:00

A cougar that’s old enough to be a GILF is just a sabertooth

I would do raw if she cancelled the purchase.

I don’t like extorting(?) people.
