Line 27:
* [[Ambiguously Brown]]: Gosuke Kiganjo, Kaname Tosen, Abirama Redder, Zommari Rureaux, Tier Harribel and Yoruichi Shihoin.
* [[Angels Pose]]: Rukia, Orihime and Rangiku strike it at the end of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oKj1W2X6LF8 the 10th anime opening].
* [[Animal Motifs]] / [[Animal Stereotypes]]: Several characters in the show. First, you have Gin Ichimaru, aka [[Fan Nickname|'Fox Face']] and compared to, well, a fox. Then you have Yoruichi Shihouin who is likened to a black cat; hell, who am I kidding? Yoruichi can ''turn into'' a black cat. Next up is Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez, who is likened to a panther. After all, his sword is named ''Pantera'' [https://web.archive.org/web/20130425021511/http://bleach.wikia.com/wiki/File:Grimmjow_Resurreccion.jpg and then there is the matter of his released form,] in which his appearance becomes decidedly more feline not to mention the fact that he actually was a panther-like Adjuchas-class Menos before becoming an Arrancar. Starrk (wolves, fitting with the whole lone wolf thing), Komamura (he ''is'' a dog, for christ's sake), and Hallibel (shark) all qualify. Gin is also a pretty snake-like individual. Then there's Neliel, whose adult form's skull has goat horns on it. Not to mention her [http://images.wikia.com/bleach/en/images/3/38/Gamuza.jpg release form,]{{Dead link}} which is literally part-goat. Her Zanpakuto, also, is named Gamuza; which appears to mean Chamois, a type of goat, in Spanish. In short, every single one of the Espada.
* [[Animated Actors]]: Some of the [[Omake]] have the characters as these.
* [[Anime Hair]]: Rukia. Hitsugaya. Most of the non-Arrancar haircuts are actually fairly reasonable for an anime, though.
Line 373:
** The named Inoue members have celestial themes. Orihime (a celestial weaver maiden) and Sora (the sky itself).
** The Kotetsu sisters (Isane and Kiyone) have sound-themed names.
* [[Fan Disservice]]: There are [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_3sU0MnRawMI/TRL_pfVYAiI/AAAAAAAACsA/xTxclEJNd7U/s320/bleach%2B5.jpg semi-naked muscular hunks flexing their muscles]... and then there's [https://web.archive.org/web/20140816191014/http://manga.animea.net/bleach-chapter-321-page-2.html Charlotte Cuulhorne]. [[Squick|Note]] the very twisted use of [[Female Gaze]].
* [[Fanfic]]: Many and varied, though of special mention is [[Uninvited Guests]], which is probably one of the funniest you could find for this series.
* [[Fan Service]]: This manga is full of it - affecting both [[Ms. Fanservice|female characters]] and [[Mr. Fanservice|male characters]] alike. Kubo does seem to be working his way through TV Tropes to see how many different kinds of fanservice he can insert.
Line 382:
** Two words "Superhuman Drug". {{spoiler|To defeat Sayzel, Mayuri uses a drug that heightens the senses to god like levels, however, the body is unable to catch up to the new senses, and what only takes a second, it feels like "a hundred years".}}
{{quote|{{spoiler|'''Mayuri''': ''Take the pain, savor it, Farewell, Enjoy the next 100 years.''}}}}
* [[Female Gaze]]: Kubo seems as willing to play with male characters in a manner female readers/characters will find sexy as he is to play with female characters in a manner male readers/characters will find sexy. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140816223822/http://manga.animea.net/bleach-chapter-430-page-2.html For example.] (See trope page for more examples.)
* [[The Fighting Narcissist]]: Yumichika Ayasegawa, one of the ''very'' rare heroic examples because he may be a subversion. He certainly insists on presenting himself as such a person, but the reality is [[Hidden Depths|more complicated]]: his fight with [[Evil Counterpart|Charlotte Cuuhlhourne]] reveals he's actually sacrificing his real self for the sake of his division's philosophy due to his belief that [[Undying Loyalty]] is much more important than his own desires. Charlotte is used to lampshade this by [[The Fighting Narcissist|genuinely being]] what Yumichika is pretending to be... but looks-wise, he's a mix of [[The Brute]] and [[Magical Girl]]. When they fight, [[Hilarity Ensues]] followed by [[Mood Whiplash]] to [[The Reveal|reveal]] the truth about Yumichika.
** In the [[Filler|anime-only]] Invasion arc, the anime decides to play this trope straight for Yumichika by changing his [[Hidden Depths]] to something that's even more narcissistic than his public image. The first time Yumichika meets {{spoiler|his [[Evil Twin|clone]],}} he's struck by the terrible dilemma of not being able to fight - because he can't {{spoiler|bring himself to attack [[Say It with Hearts|'such a beautiful me']].}} On the other hand, {{spoiler|his clone}} has no such qualms about the fight because he thinks {{spoiler|the real Yumichika would look even more [[Blood Lust|beautiful covered in blood]]...}} which is taking narcissism to the point of {{spoiler|both sadism and masochism.}}
