Kenpachi's Place

On the subject of "what people call each other" more generally, my favorite Bleach topic, Aizen is also kind of weird about Zaraki. He refers to Renji leaving the 5th for the 11th as Renji being "taken away to Kenpachi's place." Was he. Was he kidnapped. Is Kenpachi's Place a trafficking front.

Referring to Zaraki by title is a Choice, for sure. I don't know if anyone else does that (besides Ichigo), but I can think of many who do not, would never.

Referring to the 11th as "Kenpachi's Place" also feels like a Choice. It makes me think about Renji's question to Ichigo when they first meet:

[Bleach 054]

His meaning of is speech bubble is, "Which [number] Division are you affiliated with?" but the pronunciation is just "Where are you affiliated?" So there's already a sense, I guess, that the geographic question of "where" implies your divisional affiliation, and that divisions are thought of as places. Makes sense, given that all the divisions are meaningful geographic spreads in the Seireitei.

Is it still weird that it's "Kenpachi's Place" and not just idk, "the 11th Division"? I mean, I think it is, but it does speak to the unique tradition of leadership succession the 11th's got going on, and how intense the cult of personality is in the 11th, as a division whose nature is extremely tied to the nature of whoever its leader happens to be.

Aizen also never actually refers to the 11th as the 11th, so in order to make that connection we'd have to remember Zaraki's name and number from when he showed up at Byakuya's Place. Why wouldn’t he? Idk but I enjoy it as character info. (NB: Byakuya is perfectly happy to refer to Tousen purely by number, as "9th Captain" and not by any name at all, so there's a lot of different conventions out and about across the various captains.)

#also am never not thinking about that one time hitsugaya tells matsumoto they should go to renji's place (same phrase as aizen uses here) #whatever in god's name that's supposed to mean and however hitsugaya is meant to know where a 'renji's place' might be #and they don't end up at the 6th or some place normal but some random patch of bumfuck rukongai #aizen sousuke #zaraki kenpachi #bleach manga #bleach language #bleach reread 2021 #bleach カラー #no brain just bleach

If anyone wondered where I've been: I've been dog sitting at my parents house and am closing in on finishing the outline for AEIWAM so I can start posting.

Today's highlight was "I guess what I'm really asking is: what's everyone going to therapy for, and what does the solution to that particular issue look like if physicalized into a weapon or tool?"

#dogs #aeiwam #an elephant is warm and mushy #bleach fanfic #i have possibly entered the Neon Genesis Evangelion phase of world-building but DAMN if it doesn't make for some badass visuals #also #this just in: a zanpaktou spirit and an inner hollow are the same thing at different levels of Maslow's hierarchy #also also #god is actually a computer that reproduces like a staghorn fern #and kido is the reverse chinese room of its coding language

I was going to clean this up eventually, but I'll let it be. My excuse; it adds to the chaos. Rukia learns a new greeting! Uryu, please stop messing with the Shinigami, Ichigo can't take it-- I was going to clean this up eventually, but I'll let it be. My excuse; it adds to the chaos. Rukia learns a new greeting!

A copy of this month's Seireitei Bulletin is placed atop your desk.

You peruse it, noting some of the usuals. News, awards, special events. But it's a poem in the corner that catches your eye, one that is listed as an anonymous submission.

the summer's rays pierce a lone marigold withers waiting for one's touch

You smile. Folding up the paper, you greet the fellow members of your division, taking note of Captain Otoribashi with guitar in hand, strumming tunes while humming to a melody.

You approach your lieutenant, who sits before a daunting pile of paperwork—no doubt one that his Captain neglected to finish in his haste to make use of this moment of inspiration. He looks deep in thought, his brow furrowed as he peruses the words on the page.

"Lieutenant Kira." He near jumps at your use of his title, whirling around towards you. You notice he shoves a few papers to the side, as if hiding them from prying eyes. "Nice poem, by the way. In the paper."

"Oh, ah... That—that wasn’t me.”

You raise a brow.

"Really? It kind of reminds me of your style. A bit bold, if you ask me, but…”

His cheeks redden. “Right. Bold. I’m not—I’m usually not that forthright.” He shrugs noncommittally, angling his body to further cut off your view of his desk. It’s then that you catch a glimpse of a few crumpled pieces of papers scattered about.

He clears his throat. “Nonetheless I’m sure whoever it was is a fine poet.”

You hum thoughtfully. “Yeah, they are…. I'm also sure that whoever they wrote it for will find it quite romantic,” you say off-handedly.

He straightens up in his seat. "What do you—”

"Waiting for one's touch," you repeat. "I wonder why wait when the flower can just seize the moment?"

Both Giriko and Senjumaru's goons are having trouble hitting Yhwach, and it's revealed to be because this individual is making them miss...with the power of wind. That's "wind" as in "winding road", not "windy day", and boy do I pity the author for having to figure all this stuff out in a second language.

Anyhow, what "wind" has to do with having two tongues is unexplained. The end-of-chapter omake does have Nianzol saying "I can eat ice cream at twice the speed", which seems like a more direct superpower.

At which point did you realise that the plot of IW is ass? I've seen people complain only about the ending or the halfway point where the teams separate, while I was already actively rolling my eyes like four-five chapters in

i think the moment i fully accepted that IW's story was. Definitely A Story was the moment ebina announced 'bleach japan'. like i think leading up to that point i was thinking to myself 'oh i hope i see X happen' or being like 'i wonder where this is going' and that sort but the proverbial bucket of ice was definitely that moment

#infinite wealth spoilers #snap chats #what reaaaaally hammered it in too if it wasnt obvious already was the execution of the jimas/daigo like that still irks me LMAO #i cant even remember what chapter that happened in i just know when it did i was utterly pissed #i think i started to take things less seriously once bryce entered the picture but thats only because of how distracting his VA was #like much love the JP voice actors who try to speak english and japanese but i just cant act like it's not incredibly distracting #esp when the character is supposed to be white yk what i mean- or at the very least their first language is supposed to be english #typically i can look over that thing if its a one or two time kind of deal but he had to speak in english much longer than others #im just rambling about bryce tho this aint bout him. i mean he could be a part of it the cult was executed really sloppily #it might have been the introduction of bryce actually ... i remember thinking to myself 'oh brother' with the whole messiah thing LMAO #maybe it was when kiryu told us his cancer cam from radiation instead of. smoking 💀 ESPECIALLY not even five chapters in #like straight out the gate you just wanna drop that on us mr I Can Do Everything Myself I Cant Worry Others ok #thats a post for another day tho im EVERYWHERE #POINT IS this is not about Retrospect this is about First Impressions and memory warps over time #but i know for a fact i found the bleach japan thing utterly ridiculous and was squinting at the plot the entire time thereafter #like ive said this a million times at this point but although i love IW for it's gameplay (pardon some nitpicks like lack of shortcuts) #its story really feels so messy and had much to be desired. which is so sad after the wonderful stories rgg has been making since 0.. #BUT OH WELL im still excited to replay it in english. god willing i ever get the time #i still wanna finish lost judgment <- isnt even halfway through the game #and i wanna do a fun stream Maybe with YK2 but ill get into that when i get into that #if youve read this far. thanks LOL id say sorry for the novel but thats what we expect of me at this point

more Cat than a Man, that CatMan

so i love blondjow as any other cultured person, but, hear me out

he's actually a cat. always was, and now unfortunately isn't

and that's why he's so destructive, and mad at aizen

imagine, the tragedy of being turned from graceful and strong killing machine, literally natures favourite

into a hairless monkey

with a part of you made into a steel stick

(also! the predator! made into prey! the disgrace of this all! (imagine that as if an offended cat said it) )

So now, not only i look at Aizen and see a dude that mastered pokerface when all he did was "random bullshit go! (if something sticks, i'm saying it was planned (ekhm, White))"

But also the CatMan, actually a Cat, unfortunately, now a Man

(and playing loose with canon, i like to imagine, that from Adjuchas, his vasto lorde form would still be a cat. No "going to be more humanoid" shit. No, this is a cat. If every hollow is striving to be a vasto lorde, coz then you have more humanoid shape and feel a bit as in past, then, he being a cat, would mean he is gonna go back to being a cat)

And also the way his resurrection is him goin' partially back into cat form plssssssss COME ON, LET HIM BE A FURBALL

also it would be interesting. I don't think (don't know) if it was mentioned - any other, than human, soul turning hollow. So he would be speshial <3

that was me playing with canon, having watched it a long time ago and still not finishing the manga, don't take this seriously

#bleach #grimmjow #I RAISE YOU CATJOW #im so out of touch i don't even know if somebody made that argument before #scratch that. somebode FOR SURE MADE IT #but how many. how long ago #i might have gotte a lot wrong #i only caught up to tybw and am planning to rewatch the base anime #im collecting the manga in my native language to read it all in one go #and also gloat when i look at my bookshelf #grimmjow jeagerjaques #bleach grimmjow #cat grimmjow #I ALMOST WROTE GRIMJOE AND NOW CAN'T STOP LAUGHING LMAO #mention of aizen #i can't take that dude seriously #hes so absurd to me

[Bleach 083]

Aizen's original line here is: 僕をあまり甘く見ないことだ. Taking the literal imagery into account, a translation might be something like, Don't look upon me too sweetly. While the meaning is technically preserved in that sentence, it's not particularly idiomatic English, especially in conversational dialogue. The phrase 甘く見ない (amaku minai) is usually translated as an entreaty to not underestimate or take something lightly, as in the Viz translation: "You'd be wise not to underestimate me."

But if we know this is not really conversational dialogue--we know it's Aizen and Ichimaru sowing the seeds for the Big Fake, and also, it's a comic--I feel like there's also an opportunity here to go big and get histrionic with this line. In my translation, I really wanted to preserve some of that "sweetness" imagery in the line by drawing on Aizen's "flower on the precipice" motif from the very start. To set the stage, I went with "perceive me as a threat" as a nod to Aizen's perception-warping powers, and added the flowers as a metonym for sweetness: "Perhaps you don't perceive me as a threat, but even flowers have thorns." 🌸

I wouldn't say the resulting line is beautiful. "Even flowers have thorns" feels pretty gauche/trite, because it's such a common analogy; there's no real bite to it because it's just not that fresh a line. (And this is a me problem, but I also can't read it without thinking about that Star Trek episode where Capt. Kirk is admiring roses with a hot alien lady and, when she pricks her finger and says "this one has thorns!" he's just like don't they all LMAOOO.) But I kind of feel like its triteness is the point.

It should be an overdetermined line, because Aizen and Ichimaru are here to lay the performance on THICK; because squiggly-dialogue Aizen would totally use an unassumingly bland metaphor; because Aizen's going to end up impaled on a wall before he gets to uncover Ichimaru's plot, and his threat here is going to appear empty.

The imagery is overdetermined here, because that overdetermination will stand in contrast to the illusiveness of Kyouka Suigetsu, to the "true" poetry, the flower on the precipice poetry, that Aizen means to unfold.

man...i’m starting to rethink how I thought of Ichigo’s inner world changing. He’s a character that goes from looking for a cause to die for to finding (many, MANY) reasons to live for.

At first, I thought that his inner landscape going from towering skyscrapers to .. just plain ol’ Karakura town was signalling that his ambition had eroded. That he’d been harried and forced by repeated threats into hunkering down and shelling up for lack of the vision to see any other options. Now I’m starting to think that I gave Zangetsu a bit too much credit with his jabs to that effect.

I’m sure plenty of people smarter than me have already said this, but the skyscrapers were sideways. That’s the view you get when you’re jumping off of them.

#he was suicidal!!!! #oh ichigo my beloved protag #like. he was trying to distance himself from his family on purpose (move to the big city) #because of his guilt for masaki's death #and MAYBE if he could just get them to stop CARING about him he could just die and make up for it all. Disappear from their lives #but those connections were REKINDLED by the people who NEVER STOPPED CARING ABOUT HIM #uuuRRAUGH #i shoot tears out of my eyes with the force of a busted fire hydrant #seeing panels from everyone's bleach rereads is good for me #the visual language of featureless skyscrapers as a symbol of 'Place where You are Not Needed or Recognized' KILLS ME #text it #bleach rambling
