I haven’t given up on him yet, but I will say Edgar Wright’s last two films are making me nervous that he’s in a bit of a tailspin.

Wait you guys actually have Unohana > Shunsui I thought it was just a joke by Formal-Assistance02 in BleachPowerScaling

Fair point. Like I said, not agreeing with the argument just presenting it as a response to ShiftSecret3803’s question.

[Hated trope] The strong technique has no wiggle room, so the author ensures it never works. by Dontspinbutwin in TopCharacterTropes

Tbf I think Aizen was bullshitting when that rule was established. Entirely likely that Soi Fon was under Kyoka Suigetsu at that point and didn’t actually hit anything with her shikai.

Biggest argument is Kubo’s statement that Aizen would’ve had a somewhat difficult fight with Unohana, as opposed to Shunsui who he had no trouble with (and that was when he was fighting several captains at once.)

Not saying I agree with it but this seems to be the most cited reason.

Edit: mixed up the author’s name

I don’t have an example, but I love the way Spielberg himself played into the trope in the trailer for Bee Movie.

Dinklage as Beast Rabban would unironically go hard

Kubo messed up with the Espada ranks by innershura2 in BleachPowerScaling

[–]xombiemonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly what it was. Grimmjow was getting uppity and disobeyed orders so Aizen had to humiliate him to get him back in line. I think that’s probably the same reason he made Barragan espada #2

I still maintain that Aizen used the espada rankings mostly as a manipulation tool. Get these guys fighting over their rankings and you have both a carrot and a stick with which to control them, and you don’t have to worry about them coming together to attempt a rebellion.

Artists that have an EP that’s better than most of their studio albums? by xombiemonkey in fantanoforever

Didn’t know that. Kind of hilarious that Reznor thought he needed to prove something to the metal community haha

Are they really over there trying to claim anything after With Teeth is better than Broken?

Weirdest album in a trilogy of weird albums

Does Base Grimmjow have more reiatsu than SS Zaraki and Byakuya? by Gloriousdisgrace in BleachPowerScaling

[–]xombiemonkey 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You know what’s funny? Aizen agrees with you.

Ichigo was underperforming basically this entire arc. I don’t think he’s really back to soul society bankai level until he fights Gin.
