BLEACH x Nissin (China) Collab CM
Last week on Deskside, Kubo mentioned how hilarious this Nissin China collab CM was, so I went to dig for it. He's right; it's so silly and fun! This is for the China-exclusive Hé Wèi Dào (transliterated as Aimido in Japanese) cup noodles series. I can't help but giggle when I imagine the voice actors recording these "extra lines" after the actual episode recording. Hope you'll enjoy the subtitles I quickly whipped up!

Even the Monk Who Calls the Real Name cannot handle this
I mean, I get where pronunciation of Yhwach's name comes from, but it's internally inconsistent

One episode into Thousand-Year Blood War and I can definitely see why people probably got exhausted of Bleach- this is just the Arrancars Arc again, which was just the Soul Society Arc again- but reading the manga up to the start of Thousand-Year Blood War and switching over a literally brand-new anime is helping alleviate that sameness.
Plus: ORIHIME EATS A BREAD IN HD!!!

Random musings about Senjumaru's bankai
Karagara
The most obvious association will be the onomatopoeic reference to the sound a loom makes. This is supported by Senjumaru going "ton ton kara kara ton karara". A largely similar onomatopoeia also appears in the classic Japanese folklore, Tsuru no Ongaeshi.
The kanji for kara is obviously a Hindu reference, but I won't go too much into it since I'm not familiar with Hinduism or Sanskrit. Judging by the wiki page, it seems obvious that Senjumaru is inspired by Kala. God of death, shinigami... Tomato, tomato. Considering how Senjumaru's bankai seems to foretell the end of each Schutzstaffel, Kala as "time personified" is also something to ponder about.
The sound "karagara" reminded me of Mayuri's poem in episode 22 - nanben mitemo, inochi karagara. Kubo used a different kanji for kara here ("empty").
But the great hoasissimo took one step further to this "kara" connection, pointing out the title of Chapter 666 - Kisuke's fight:
Tumblr media
"Karappo, kairai, garandou"
I really like the connotations of associating Senjumaru, Mayuri, and Kisuke. We already saw hints that Senjumaru and Mayuri knew each other. Who knows if Kubo will ever reveal more.
Shigarami
After the last episode aired, @shiroukage pointed out that Senjumaru said this in her extended fight with Gerard:
Tumblr media
I don't know how I missed this out the first time! It does seem likely that her shikai name is Shigarami.
I found the choice of "shigarami" and its assigned kanji rather interesting. The kanji can be read as shigarami, with "shi" (lit. needle) an obvious connection to Senjumaru's title as the Great Weave Guard.
However, the kanji itself is pronounced as shiraku or bloodletting. But it's not simply bloodletting, which will be referred to as shaketsu. Shiraku has its roots in traditional Chinese medicine (that has been adapted and modified in Japan). Instead of focusing on how much blood is let out, the focus is to prick the appropriate points - usually based on the meridians - to achieve specific results with minimal blood loss.
Considering how Kubo based the position of the shinigami's saketsu and hakusui on acupuncture points (refer to Q422 in Klub Outside), I'm inclined to believe he does know of this traditional Chinese medicine practice.
Moreover, we usually understand this reading (with a different kanji of course) as (1) weir or (2) any obligations holding us back or shackles tying us down from doing something. Or worldly attachments, if we want to lean into the Buddhist context.
Weaving but also?
If you pay attention to what Senjumaru says, she starts each line with "___kase" (the blank being the number in order). The kase used in this instance (if the closed captions are accurate) is a specific kanji that is a unit "hank" for coiling threads.
Now, another common understanding of this reading kase (with a different kanji of course) is shackles. You see it? I wouldn't be surprised if Kubo has knowingly paired shigarami and kase while moving away from the common meanings yet still sticking closely to the weaving theme. Beautiful.
One more weaving reference is from "tsuji". We typically think of it as crossroads or junctions, but when it comes to traditional Japanese clothing, tsuji refers to the stitching that comes to form the 十 character.

#OneNETnewsINVESTIGATES: Bleach Fandom Community on The X Network face Massive Death Threats and Harassments, targeting animators at a Japanese anime studio [EXCLUSIVE]
Tumblr media
TRIGGER WARNING: The following investigative news report contains a higher dose of extra severe graphic nature and anime culture issues. Our news organization of OneNETnews has a STRICT zero-tolerance policy and we do NOT fully promote, aggressively attacking or condone to expose the hate in a political matter. Read our IMPORTANT DISCLAIMER in this news article below, mga-Kabandera.
TOKYO, JAPAN -- In a brazen but saddened turn of events, fans of the popular anime series 'Bleach' have recently taken to the X Network (formerly Twitter) unleashing a barrage of death threats, harassments and a brazen cesspool of hate speech against animators from Studio Pierrot, following the release of 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War'. The Japanese animators' safety and well-being have been seriously affected by these toxic actions with corrupted anime production. Sport entertainment, pop culture and the digital insider 'Sportskeeda' obtained the exclusive investigative insights into this disturbing trend to expose political hatred of anime, shedding light on the impact of these threats and the potential ramifications for the future of the beloved anime.
Tumblr media

To comprehend this distasteful tragedy, it's essential to understand the significance of Bleach within anime. Bleach is a renowned anime and manga series created by Mr. Noriaki Kubo.
Tumblr media
A male protagonist teen with ghost-seeing abilities, Ichigo Kurosaki is assigned the role of Soul Reaper, a soul-guiding agent who protects the living world from evil spirits of hell. A mix of action, supernatural elements and intricate storytelling captivated audiences worldwide, since its debuted on television originally from Japan.
Tumblr media
The latest installment 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War' in the early mid-October 2022 -- marked the return of the series, after a long hiatus from late-March 2012, much to the delight of the fans. However, as the show progressed, a faction of disgruntled fans began expressing their dissatisfaction on social media platforms such as the X Network and Threads (who were individually owned by the X Corporation and Meta Platforms Inc.), specifically targeting all animators associated with Studio Pierrot in the aforesaid home country of Tokyo Prefecture.
Tumblr media
An animation director of 'Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War' named Satoshi Sakai, became entangled in this virtual controversy. Although under immense pressure and risk, Sakai and others at Studio Pierrot wasn't publicly issued an apology or taken any drastic steps to halt production of the new sequel.
Tumblr media
(SCREENGRAB COURTESY: The X Network, formerly Twitter)
One theory surrounding Sakai's decision by refusing to apologize or cancel the anime sequel suggests that the animators and Studio Pierrot are caught in a difficult predicament. While the threats and harassment are unjustifiable and reprehensible, some speculate that a public apology or cancellation could set a dangerous precedent for creators worldwide. It could embolden extremist fans to a rudeful, weaponize threats and harassments to exert control over the creative direction of their favorite series.
Tumblr media
Moreover, Studio Pierrot may also be reluctant to abandon the 'Bleach' franchise altogether, regardless the movie or anime TV series. Bleach has been a significant source of revenue for the studio, and ending it abruptly could have severe financial consequences. Additionally, the studio may believe that addressing the toxic behavior through proper channels, such as reporting it to law enforcement and social media platforms, is a more responsible approach to handling the situation.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
(SCREENGRAB COURTESY: The X Network, formerly Twitter)
The conventional crisis was garnered its Western attention, with international fans and fellow industry professionals expressing their support for the animators and condemning the harassment. However, as this situation unfolds, it raises critical questions about the state of cancelled culture and the responsibility of online social media platform like the X Network, to address this abusive behavior.
Tumblr media
In light of these developments, the anime fandom of 'Bleach' is at a crossroads. There are many former and current anime fans at present -- who still cherish the series and the creators, however a vocal minority threatens to overshadow the positive aspects of the anime community due to their actions. The future of 'Bleach' and the well-being of its animators hang in the balance, as the world watches to see how this disturbing chapter unfolds.
