I often see people wondering why Luppi was chosen to become Grimmjow's replacement in Espada, despite being an insignificant character who did little and in result was one-shotted by Grimmjow. Usually, others argue that it doesn't matter because Luppi wasn't supposed to remain in the position of Sixth Espada; he was merely a temporary replacement. This is undoubtedly true if we consider Kubo's plans as a writer. But I believe there's a distinction when it comes to Kubo and Aizen with his intentions as the ruler of Hueco Mundo.

First, Luppi wasn't weak. Even though he wasn't present in the manga for long, he demonstrated some skills in battle. We saw him facing off against four opponents, including a captain with Bankai. It's not something that a pathetic weakling could do.

Also, in the 'CFYOW' novel, we find out that Luppi wasn't picked by chance. He was chosen because he's similar to Grimmjow; they have the same aspect of Death:

In my opinion, Aizen didn't plan to help Grimmjow regain his Espada rank. But he changed his mind when Orihime was kidnapped because Luppi dared to show disrespect towards Aizen and his decisions:

As we know, after that, Grimmjow quickly decided to eliminate Luppi from his path in the most direct manner possible

There's no way Aizen, who is smart and knows how to manipulate, didn't see Grimmjow's actions coming. He expected it and didn't do anything to stop it because that's how he usually punished his followers. He didn't directly harm them or order someone to do it openly, but the outcome was the same. (Also he orchestrated the entire spectacle of his fake death because he didn't want to personally kill Hinamori, instead, he wanted Toshiro to do it). And he punished Grimmjow this way because he knew Kaname wouldn't tolerate Sexta's reckless behavior. It's a very cruel but clever method of ruling that helped him play the role of a kind master while also toying with people's minds.

I always liked this panel with Aizen's cold eyes, but when I read the manga for the first time, I thought he reacted like that because Grimmjow got on his nerves again. I wondered why he didn't do anything to put him in his place.

But actually, that cold look was directed towards poor Luppi, who wasn't too weak to be Espada but definitely lacked smartness.

Bleach’s Issue with Queer characters (1/3)

So, someone recently(when i started this draft anyway) left a kind of incoherent rant on one of my posts. It wasn’t actually related to anything I’d said in the post, and just came across as disjointed babble, so it didn’t warrant a direct reply at the time. But it did bring up a subject I would actually like to talk about:

How Kubo handles gender queer characters.

I think it’s a little easy to look at the most glaring cases, come to the conclusion that he doesn’t handle representation well, and leave it at that. That’s valid. And he’s clearly not well versed or tactful in how he portrays these characters, and it’s really not that unreasonable to judge him for it. But I also think there’s more going on with it than that really accounts for, so let’s pick at it a little...

By and large what Kubo does is some pretty by-the-books queer-coding villains, and what amounts to casting effeminate men in adversarial roles. In the big picture, it’s not a good trope to be falling back on: it comes from a bad place historically, and even if Kubo doesn’t mean anything bad by it (and I’ll get into why I think he genuinely doesn’t) it contributes to the momentum already behind it that other, less well intentioned creators and readers inevitably stand to do more direct harm with.

The earliest case of this is actually from Zombie Powder. Very early episodic villain, Ranewater Calder is a youthful and even girlish looking man who is actually an old man sustained by a youth restoring drug. He’s a villain of the week type, so the fact that he’s pretty and evil is literally all there is to him. Moreover, his fixation on youth, his vanity, and his deception (he pretends to be a frail, dainty victim at first) all link directly to his moral character. Although Calder is himself never made out to be gay, the archetype he's clearly based on is a pretty classically homophobic characterization at face value

But even here it’s not totally black and white...

There’s a snag in that Kubo’s not writing some 1950s American pulp novel where the perils of homosexuality spell self-destruction or divine/dramatic irony on the loathesome villain; he’s writing a shounen action manga, and it operates on the Rule-of-Cool first and foremost. Calder isn’t a vehicle for moral preaching by religious conservatives, he’s a highlight character taking up valuable print space in a popular comic. He’s attractive, he has a cool name, he has a cool weapon with a unique fighting style, and even his vanity and deception aren’t there to make him unappealing, they’re there to make him compelling.

And herein lies the root of Kubo’s problem. He just likes having cool characters, and he crams them in where ever he can fit them, and that often means in villain roles. Moreover, although some characters get more vilified than others, even within the scope of villain roles, not all of them get to stick around long enough to be developed as either something other than queer and villainous, or to get the full turn around. After all...

Yumichika was a villain at first.

And you’ll noticed I hesitated just now at calling it a “turn around” and not a “redemption” or “turning over a new leaf” because frankly, the Shinigami never actually changed alignment. They were circumstantially the villains of the Soul Society Arc until Aizen turned on them to be the bigger "real” villain. Technically it was Ichigo & co. that changed alignments from fighting against the Gotei13 to fighting with them. But relatively aside, Yumichika became a good guy and his favorable portrayal got to outweigh his villainous introduction.

Speaking of which, there’s not a whole lot to go over with it, but Yumichika’s original appearance pretty closely mirrored the profile of Ranewater Calder’s bit in Zombie Powder: a kind of “sissy” prettyboy is obsessed with his looks, and other than just being a guy with a sword pointed at the established heroes making him a villain, that vanity and narcissism make them mean, judgy and vindictive.

But Yumichika came back, and stuck around, and frankly became something of a fan favorite. And I think this particular development says a lot about how Kubo looks at these situations. You’ll notice, he didn’t actually have to change Yumichika’s character much to shift him from villain to hero. Yumichika gets a little less prickly, but he’s still vain and it’s not even something that anyone ever frames as a problem he needs to work on. In fact, the introduction of his shikai brought into play a new facet of his vanity: Deception. So we’re back to that Ranewater Calder framework, where the prettyboy has something to hide with his looks, but in Yumichika’s case it’s shown as an almost endearing quality. He hides his sword’s powers, a reflection of his true self, to fit in. But this isn’t shown to be a thing to pity, his willingness to sacrifice a part of his own identity is portrayed as a kind of noble restraint.

Now, granted, I don’t think those elements all play nicely together. (In fact, the nobility of his self-restraint is a very dangerous thing to uphold as a virtue) But when it comes to trying to draw a line between message and intent, I think the most pertinent thing to consider as context isn’t actually the villain or hero dichotomy, or even your own personal feelings about the themes in play, it’s the attitude ("attitude" as different from “intent,” mind you) of the creator towards his creations: Kubo seemed to enjoy making Yumichika.

He had fun with his design (the feathers and the weird sweater collar thing) He had fun with the sword, with giving him a secret power. He had fun writing his vanity rants. He didn’t have to have Yumichika, he didn’t have to bring him back, and he didn’t have to add to his character, but he did. He invested his own time and effort and space on the page to him and to making him interesting to have around.

But like I said, Yumichika’s the lucky one. He came in early, got to have a comeback, and had time to stick around. But consider that when Kubo was floundering around trying to figure out how to salvage the mess that was the late TYBW arc, he didn’t need to bring back Arrancar, and he didn’t need to bring back the ones he did. (in fact, only the Privaron even make sense in-world, Luppi and Charlotte weren’t convenient choices, they were just Kubo’s personal picks.) And when he did finally get around to cleaning up the Sternritter? Bazz-B was an obvious choice to keep, sure (following that Renji/Grimmjow mold of the hotblodded rival who bucks his own organizations rules) but Giselle and Lilttoto? That was Kubo playing favorites.

Luppi was so short lived, it’s hard to really say anything about him. He was basically just reusing notes from Yumichika’s first appearance, which again also refer back to Ranewater Calder in Zombie Powder for basic aesthetic and demeanor. (It’s actually kind of weird that Yumichika never really had any kind of dynamic with Luppi when they fought.)

Side note here, but Kubo really loves to build some of his recurring character types around a certain kind of scene or dynamic. Byakuya and Ulquiorra both do this thing where they’re supposed to be the stoic unflinching types, but they actually get shocked and surprised almost constantly. Kubo seems to be going into it with the mentality that he thinks it’s cool when the character who predicts everything and always has everything under control, can’t predict something and doesn’t have it under control, and just reverse engineers a stoic person for the purpose of having them “break character” later. In this vein Kubo seems to have a real love of very pretty characters shifting into a kind of sinister “ugly mode.” It wouldn’t serve his purpose to just have them ugly or obviously meanspirited all the time, the ugliness has to be served up in its reveal as that “breaking character” moment, even though that “breaking” moment is itself the core of the character.

Not to get too heady about this little observation, but it honestly feels like something that applies even to Kubo’s broader writing habits; wanting the payoff of a twist, and planning said twist first but then reverse engineering the supporting ruse only as a matter of course. Just a silly little thought...

Ok ok, I have an au that may be stupid but just hear me out, hear me out.

I really love Bleach but I also love sirens and mermaids and such. Hear me out.

An AU that has everyone that is in bleach as a siren or a merman or mermaid.

I can just imagine Gin Ichimaru as a sea snake siren and Sōsuke Aizen as a great white shark siren that is abnormally larger than any other great white shark. Kaname Tōsen being a Barracuda siren, its just mwah.

I'd love to just see fanart of this entire au I accidentally made up but anyways my ideas on what the others would be.

Coyote Starrk would be a great white shark while Lilynette Gingerbuck is a remora.

Baraggan Louisenbairn would be a coelacanth.

Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck would be a blue sea dragon.

Tier Harribel would be a bull shark.

Ulquiorra Cifer would be an angler fish.

Nnoitra Gilga would be a stone fish.

Luppi Antenor would be a leafy seadragon.

Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez would be a tiger shark.

Szayelaporro Granz would be a lion fish.

Aaroniero Arruruerie would be a goblin shark.

I'd write more, but I'm a lil lazy.
