Bleach/Memes



When your own creator is said to be a troll by the fandom...

Format to use:


 * The meme. hottip:Explanation:The explanation behind the meme.

"Komamura is not amused."
 * The Loituma Girl cartoon, which consists of a short looped animation from episode 2 of Bleach, showing Orihime twirling a scallion, while a snippet of the nonsensical middle section of "Ieva's Polka", as performed by Finnish group Loituma, plays. This was deliberately given Homage in Negima!?, the Alternate Continuity Mahou Sensei Negima series.
 * "[[media:leekspin_8675.jpg|Orihime: Leek Spin]]" is even a card in the Bleach card game...
 * Hatsune Miku, the primary mascot of Yamaha's Vocaloid2 voice synthesizer software, has adopted this meme for her own. So naturally, this is taken to its logical next step...
 * NOBODY DIES IN BLEACH: a reference to the fact that none of the main characters have died.
 * It's a bit of a misnomer, as the reality of the situation is worse. Lots of people die in Bleach, but they're all the guys the Soul Society fights against. None of the people who work with Soul Society with a name have died, even after receiving a crippling sword wound that drains them of enough blood to power a water slide.
 * Which is Hilarious in Hindsight, given that the shinigami were already dead. The only Shinigami to die, Kaien Shiba, was eaten by a hollow.
 * And Kaien died before the series started.
 * It seems that someone finally died, or Kubo just forgot about Kensei when it came time to show what everyone was up to once the 'war' was over.
 * And this meme was given the most
 * Also, think of it this way: when someone dies in the living world, they are either konso-ed to Soul Society or become a Hollow. They then either go to Hueco Mundo or get purified and sent to Soul Society, or both. People who die in Soul Society are then reincarnated back into the living world. So no one dies permanently in Bleach. Unless they were sent to Hell.
 * Or were a hollow a Quincy shot.
 * The latest movie proves though, that not even hell can be considered a permanent resting place anymore.
 * QUALITY: Bleach frequently has bouts of Off Model in a variety of ways.
 * Several more known examples include Ikkaku's RAPE FACE?, What the hell happened to Rukia? and Hitsugaya rape face scares even Ikkaku.
 * Kubo is a Troll: the notion that Kubo Tite loves to troll the fandom is gaining popularity, as is mentioning that he must be insanely rich.
 * In fact "author x is a troll" is quickly becoming the default manner to bitch about anything that happens in a work of fiction.
 * A popular manifestation is the all caps [[media:1258383939386.png|I LOVE MY LIFE stories]] about being in Kubo's shoes for a day that start with "SO THERE I WAS BEING KUBO" and end with "I LOVE MY LIFE"
 * WHO EVER SAID ESPADA WENT FROM 1 TO 10?
 * An entire page dedicated to memes about Tite Kubo and THE HEART.
 * The Worf Effect is common and several of the characters are used commonly.
 * Renji never wins a fight! Never!
 * "Where's Chad?" "Lying in a pool of his own blood.", " ______ won't let Chad win. Ever."
 * TACO AIZEN, so named because "Hueco Mundo" sounds like it ought to be a food chain (given the life cycle of a hollow, it kinda is). The Live Journal community capslock_bleach has taken this meme and run with it.
 * BAN... KAI!: the One Winged Angel form of the swords carried by shinigami have a variety of shapes and powers, resulting in a "what would be this characters bankai?" game, regardless of media source.
 * How about Bonkai?
 * Uryuu Ishida has become a Memetic Badass: so badass that even when he's about to be not killed, he never stops emanating geek badassery. Also, HARDCORE SEWING.

 * THE HEART
 * "Kool Aid Kubo": A recent Big Damn Heroes moment  has spawned a new meme. It came with a caption "Now they stand a chance!" So people have been photoshopping the scene in such a way that everyone from Tite Kubo himself to the Kool Aid Guy is now trying to get at
 * "Animu and Magma" Referring to manga as "magma" in reference to a troll on Facebook pretending to be Nick Simmons during the Plagiarism controversy.
 * Related to the same issue, Kubo vs Nick Simmons - various Instances of Kubo himself, or any of his characters getting back at Nick Simmons for the Incarnate incident.
 * "Since when were you under the impression [action]" Spawned from a line by Aizen, when did you come under the impression that these memes weren't created by Aizen?
 * Since when have you been under the illusion that (X is X) / (you are you) / (you aren't Hinamori)
 * If you have to know, ask Aizen.
 * "BLEACH HAS NO BACKGROUNDS." a reference to the simplified backgrounds used in Bleach compared to Naruto and One Piece.
 * Gin's description of his Bankai included numerous Innuendos:
 * "It's 13 kilometers"

 *  OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!  Aizen was successfully attacked and overreacted.
 * DPE - the handy scale for "Dead Person Energy". The higher the DPE, the more powerful the character.
 * DPE/s - A measure of how many DPE it takes to move one second forward, an increase means slower plot. on a scale of 1 (rapid) to 100 (nothing happens at ALL).
 * higher DPE/s means more work needs to go into advancing the plot due to it being contrived, unrealistic, convoluted, etc. As the relation suggests, this tends to happen more around characters with the highest DPE (Aizen, Ichigo).
 * the cyclical nature of bleach's plot (substitute mexico/hueco mundo for crap!heaven/soul society): Each iteration of the cycle results in an increase of the DPE levels of the characters exceeded by an even greater increase of the DPE/s rate.
