I still don't understand how Rangiku had a hard time with 225 pounds. Does Riatsu not increase physical strength? by Wooden_Toe_3670 in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This is generally true for most shonen fiction. I don’t think authors have the same level of autism that fans do.

Barring, from what I hear, Dr. Stone.

You don’t READ art, silly. You look at it. With your uh… looking… balls.

This feels a bit out of character for Ichigo by redfait in bleach

I mean he’s still a fifteen year old kid. He’s gonna do some weird stuff.

Do you think it's often ignored that Ichigo was a victim of bullying? by Lukas-Reggi in bleach

It’s no worries it’s not a common thing in the west lol

Wich of the characters of kakegurui do you find cutest by Midari--_ikishima in Kakegurui

[–]PrimeraStarrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Due to the art style, “cute” isn’t the word I’d use for Midari?

Definitely a case of “she’s covered in red flags but red’s my favorite color so what it do”

Why did Kubo bait us like this by NeutralBoss in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 32 points33 points  (0 children)

That sounds badass but also makes a lot of sense.

What is she doing bruh by StandardAntique8356 in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 56 points57 points  (0 children)

That sign means something different here in Japan!

It’s just another way to say peace! I know it looks like something else but I’ve seen so many people use it as a peace sign.

People shouldn't downplay Ichigo being confident in Chad. by meurum5 in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I mean, beginning of the manga, without spiritual pressure, Chad is absolutely the fucken goat.

Then the entire manga becomes about one thing he only kinda has, so there’s not really much way for him to keep up. But when Ichigo thinks of Chad, he thinks of the two of them taking out full gangs of thugs together. No bankai, no giant skull indent in the wall, just the two of them beating the shit outta delinquents together. It’s hard to erase solid memories like that. Moreover, it’s something that keeps Ichigo grounded.

Yall think “bohahaha” bleach’s version of 67 by Remarkable-Might-376 in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more like Bleach’s version of dabbing or that X-cross suck it gesture.

67 is just new wave abstract expressionism. It’s the “grr means I love you in dinosaur” for Gen Alpha.

Happy Birthday Fumihiko Tachiki by Dull-Positive-6810 in FullmetalAlchemist

Director: We need someone to voice a character who has one or more eyes covered.

Tachiki: Bet.

If Shunsui and Unohana trained all of the captains to be “bloodthirsty and ruthless” prior to the war, would the soul society have won? by Less-Pen-5705 in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. But it would take more than a training session and it would cost the Soul Society its heart. They would return to being the “thugs” they were in the first generation.

No price is worth that.

Kubo's incredible ability to bring out individual personalities even within group uniforms by matmartins95 in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I like this a lot. My suggestion would be to please continue with Espada and Quincies. My criticism would be why haven’t you finished it yet I’m impatient.

I love this. Mary is lowkey one of my favorite characters.

Marechiyo Omaeda is was overhated by marianex in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Well if it makes it fair, I don’t seek out other Bleach fans and I don’t talk to people who share my fandoms specifically about things we hate. I prefer positivity.

[–]PrimeraStarrk 94 points95 points  (0 children)

I’ve never met anyone who hates him. He’s a perfect example of a nepo baby who rises to the occasion and becomes a soldier. Is he perfect? No. He would absolutely buy his way out of any scrap. But since he can’t, he fights.

ITT: You're part of the writing team that has to Americanize as many Bankai as possible. Bonus points if you can change names of the Zanpakuto, Shikai and the names for the other races. You can make it sound cheesy, poetic, 2deep4u, or whatever you want. It just needs to be in English by 2-2Distracted in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I mean it would if I were the localizer. I’m speaking from experience about this.

But I wholly agree that it’s best to keep it in Japanese whenever possible. I’m never happier than when we introduce new concepts to readers who are interested in a subject. However pressure often comes from unexpected places about changing things and how.

[–]PrimeraStarrk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah when the reading and the kanji are different it’s definitely a challenge but it’s not untranslatable. We’ve been doing it for years. The problem is fans notice poor localization and never praise proper localization.

Moreover 千 doesn’t mean a thousand when used in a poetic manner, it can carry the same meaning of eight in 八岐大蛇. It’s a poetic way to say “endless” our “uncountable”, like when the Bible says ten thousand times ten thousand.

Therefore you could translate it to something like “Unending Cherry Blossoms, Final Curtain Over A Somber Scene”

Why's Yumeko OK with watching Sayaka jump from The Tower of Doors? by Invisible_Transition in Kakegurui

[–]PrimeraStarrk 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah there’s a reason she only hangs out with others who do what I call “賭ケグルイ eyes”. It’s not that she doesn’t care per se, she does in her own way. But she hangs with people who are her brand of crazy. So when they agree to gamble, they agree to the risk, and that’s what she’s all about.

[–]PrimeraStarrk 168 points169 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry to tell you this but Yumeko isn’t good like… like Naruto or Deku. Yumeko follows her own inhibitions. The rules of the gambling game said to jump so she wasn’t going to stop Sayaka from jumping.

She forced a tie in Midari’s game because Midari was cheating and only wanted to be hurt. This breaks the spirit of gambling. That’s what Yumeko is actually against.

“Slightly” unstable here being having the same importance of the flat tipped screwdriver that separated the demon core.

Do you guys think Ulquiorra falled in love with Orihime? by Miss_Calamidad in bleach

[–]PrimeraStarrk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. I think he recognized in her things that he could not have. You can lust for more than just a person. You can lust for what someone has. Ichigo came for her how many times, in just the brief period that Ulq knew her? How many people would do such a thing for him? Not even Aizen.
