i want drama

just little bit🤏

[crawling-in-the-dirt]

Today I have Mayuri in the fire nation clothes…

And Zaraki earth mage 😩

[crawling-in-the-dirt]

I can't help thinking that Kurotsuchi would be great at games, especially fightings or MOBA, where you should press many buttons and think hard and quick, you know XD

And I can't help thinking that Zaraki would be MAD and JEALOUS. How on earth does this lab nerd win each match with such ease, his face doesn't even twitch while he, Zaraki, sweats trying to do all the combos and kites right??

Until playing with Mayuri, Zaraki considered himself the best player in soul society, I assure you.

OK I know Fade To Black isn't a cannon Bleach movie but I wanna talk about the opening so I'm gonna do that!

Our favourite scientist has a breakdown due to confused memories

So first off this was set probably just after or close to SS arc considering the glorious fit our boy has but I have always wondered if Kubo took this opportunity to give hints to Mayuri's past.

While this movie isn't cannon I can draw three possible conclusions from his breakdown considering it was linked to memories and probably some past experiences he's had.

The first one is the most logical and obvious and that being he was suddenly in a place he didn't know and was scared and confused by everything around him and didn't know what to do.

Second one is a little more complicated and in itself doesn't have much information known about it but here we go.

We don't know why he was thrown in the nest at this time but we DO know he was considered a threat and if he hadn't done anything wrong then perhaps he was reliving when he was suddenly taken away and trying to defend himself as, in his mind, he had done no wrong.

Third is leaning more into speculation so don't take it too seriously.

Was there a possibility in his past that when Urahara was exiled that people tried to send him back to the nest?

He needed Bankai to get Captain position but he will have needed time to get there, either by force or naturally ( Let's be honest he probably forced his bankai) and perhaps during that time reapers tried to send him back as he was an ex prisoner and still a "threat".

This would explain how he was able to summon Jizo, as he was working on it at the time and how he knew to immediately draw his sword in defense.

Hell he even knew he had to somewhat say bankai to summon Jizo in the first place.

Perhaps this was him reliving the first use of his bankai as he summoned it in defense when people tried to re imprison him after Urahara's banishment.

Just some shower thoughts... But there was no shower and I was just pondering

This scene.

This was made for me and for me only.

Again spoilers. Keep out!

We watch as this beautiful hand, WORK OF ART, MASTERPIECE IN THE HAND DEPARTMENT, makes it's slow rise.

WHY

If not to please me

They did this? WHY DOES THIS HAND LOOKS SO IMMACULATE?!

Ahhhhhhhhh!

[crawling-in-the-dirt]

Who is Urahara’s Soul Society Contact?

I’ve been reading some early chapters of Bleach, and it is clear that Urahara has some connections in Soul Society still, as he is selling standard-issue Soul Society supplies in the beginning (to who? Rogue shinigami? Fullbringer? The Visoreds?). The fact that he had a decommissioned mod soul like Kon means that he gets his product from Soul Society instead of making it himself. So, the obvious question is, who is providing him with all this Soul Society contraband?

I put forward the following candidates beneath the cut:

1) Shihouin Yoruichi

This is the most obvious answer, and it’s clear that she does travel back and forth between Soul Society and the Living World occasionally, and her cat form helps with that. However, it seems like she rarely visits Urahara these days (or at least has not visited since Ururu and Jinta started living there, since they don’t recognize her by name or by cat form), so who knows how out of date her information is. Also, I don’t see her making regular supply runs, and in any case if she took too much then they’d probably notice, so she’d be a pretty spotty source of stolen contraband product.

2) Kurotsuchi Mayuri

He is head of the Research Institute, and I can see him wanting to flex on Urahara with his latest inventions. He also has no respect for Soul Society rules, so I wouldn’t put it past him to do a little under-the-table business. Of course, he would never do it out of the kindness of his heart, so what exactly would he be getting in return? Maybe he’s flexing on Urahara, showing off all the shiny new product he’s developed in Urahara’s absence? But it seems like most of the stuff he’s sending is pretty common stuff, like gikongan dispensers aren’t exactly cutting edge, which seems a bit too boring for a flex.

3) Akon

I don’t think he is an exact extension of Mayuri the way Nemu is, so I can see him going behind his captain’s back to have some shady dealings with Urahara, perhaps in exchange for living world cigarettes because he’s the only one smoking them in Soul Society as far as I remember. Also, I definitely can see him as the lab manager type, and if anyone is making sure the biohazard and possibly radioactive waste is getting disposed of properly, it’s him. And if his way of proper disposal involves skimming some off the top and selling it to Urahara, well, he wasn’t in Maggot’s Nest for no reason. He has some points docked because he didn’t recognize the handiwork on Rukia’s gigai during his first appearance though.

And my final sleeper candidate is…

Bonus candidate) Shutara Senjumaru!

This is an unexpected one that I didn’t even consider until later, but here’s the evidence. A) We know that Urahara has seen the Soul King before, from his conversation with Aizen at the end of the Fake Karakura Town arc. This would be hard to do without meeting Squad Zero, who guards the Soul King. B) Shutara seems to be on familiar terms with Mayuri and the Research Institute, and so she must have visited the Gotei 13 either before Urahara was exiled, or sometime after (in which case she would probably know about the latest developments). C) She can clearly come and go in the research institute without much difficulty, even with whatever security measures Mayuri has set up, as seen by the way she manages to take Ichigo’s broken bankai from there easily. In any case, it wouldn’t be strange if she knew Urahara, and we know that Squad Zero is out of Gotei 13 jurisdiction, so she would be able to interact with an exiled shinigami without much issue. As for motives, perhaps she is fond of Urahara? Perhaps she does it to mess with Mayuri? Who knows. It’s a fun thought though.

Isn't it interesting that Mayuri's zanpakuto takes the form of an infant and Zaraki's zanpakuto is confirmed to have been taking the form of Yachiru, a child, for much of the series?

And during the rebellion arc it's Yachiru that chases around and tries to play with Ashisogi Jizo before both captains turn up and antagonise one another.

If a zanpakuto is the reflection of their soul and depicts what might be a more hidden side to their personality, then that implies an immaturity of soul, a childishness at their core.

Yachiru has no sense of fear or caution, she's just running around causing trouble because it's fun. Ashisogi Jizo lashes out in perceived self-defence every few minutes and annoys people because it's fun.

On the surface what we see between the two captains is constant antagonism and murderous intent, but on a more subconscious level we're basically just watching two kids say "Can I play with you?" or if we go verbatim by the Jizo/Yachiru interaction, then it's Zaraki saying "I want to play" and Mayuri replying "No, go away."

There you go, Part 2.

Like I said, ignore the subs!

I seriously love his hands. I apologize.

UPDATE:

Forgot one from Fade to Black. It's now there.

How does the Twelfth Squad work even

For some reason the weird mentor-mentee? Employee-boss? Twisted found family? relationship between Kurotsuchi Mayuri and his third seat Akon (who is, full disclosure, my fave for his long-suffering tolerance for 12th squad and shinigami shenanigans in general) has been sloshing around my brain recently, so I figured I’d write it out for my own reference. There’s not much shown regarding the relationship in canon, but here are the broad strokes.
