Post moar, me. :P Also, the beginning of the end of Bleach?

O HI THAR, folks....long time no see. As some of you may know, I began this community before I have any thought of joining the Navy, let alone being stationed half-way across the world from where I lived, and the schedule for deployment in Japan pretty much sucks

I don't really mind that it's ending soon. From what we've seen of Kubo, he'll drag this out for a very long time. We'll have at least a year of chapters.

I'm interested in:
--Knowing more about Ryuuken and Isshin and the rest of the old man brigade. How did they meet? Is Ryuuken's relationship with his son ever going to be fixed? Were Isshin and Ryuuken med school buddies? Which division was Isshin a captain of?
--These new villains. There are people in the comms saying that they're Quincies, which is highly likely, but why the Russian names? I thought Quincies were German or something. idk. If these new villains are Quincies, will they try to recruit Uryuu and Ryuuken or be mad at them for being on the side of the shinigami?

I've given up on:
--Characters given enough scene time so that everyone will be happy. Kubo has created too big of a cast to tackle them all, unless he writes like George R.R. Martin (Game of Thrones) and gives them one chapter each, and that won't still be enough to give everyone proper development.
--The stuff that were mentioned, but never tackled again. Like is Mayuri still watching Uryuu take a shower?

Like is Mayuri still watching Uryuu take a shower?

If the new guy in Ichigo's bedroom is actually a Quincy? Wouldn't put it past the mad scientist to be spying on poor nekkid!Ishida.

[shadowygame]

idk. So many new characters, I'm probably mixing them up.

There's probably an entire team in the 12th Division assigned to monitoring the feedback from the spy bacteria and informing Mayuri of any interesting developments. Also Mayuri is a creeper.

Someone should write fic about that (though not me...I'm on a hiatus as I write two 15K - 20K big bang fics and four mini-bang fics). Have Akon heading up the team and delivering them to Nemu, and Nemu delivering the reports in her monotone voice.

[shadowygame]

That would be awesome. Nemu's written reports would be titled "The Mating Habits of Quincy" or "Paranoia as a Factor in Human Development".

[afteriwake]

I can just see someone having fun with Isida's every attempt to chat up a female to get a date. As read by Nemu: "He was asked if he would fix the dress. He said he would, but he would like something in exchange. Human woman offered money. He said never mind, and sighed."

I may write this when I get in the mood not to kill characters in the fic I'm writing now...and since I plan on killing someone every other chapter, I can write this when I'm letting people live.

Poor guy. You know they would totally dissect every aspect of his life.

>> "Subject is possibly bisexual. Has displayed interest in both men and women. At present, though, the subject has failed at all attempts to carry out human mating rituals."
>> "The relationship of the subject and its father poses a unique and interesting case among studies of human behavior."

They would be making features based on his life, done like a Discovery Channel episode.

I would love to read it if you ever write it. :)
