Since ''[[Bleach]]'' is [[Trope Overdosed|Trope Overloaded]], mostly due to its [[Loads and Loads of Characters]], the main [[Bleach/Characters|characters page]] became so large that it [[Heroic BSOD|refused]] [[Beyond the Impossible|to be edited further]]. As they say, desperate times call for desperate measures. The only realistic way of solving the problem was to split up the characters in some fashion. And thus this page was born.
== '''Filler Arcs''' ==
As with any manga-based anime series, Bleach needs to pad out its anime run to give Kubo a chance to create more material for the manga though these arcs tend to pop up ''right in the middle of the main plot'' rather then be intergrated seamlessly as most animes would usually tend to do (well the Bount and Invasion arcs did, read on for more info). Interrupting it without warning (though to be fair the animation staff, through the characters, do apologize for this) so it can make viewing rather awkward. We've gotten a total of four filler arcs as a result, excluding the various standalone episodes. Kubo had a hand in designing the look for some of new filler characters to varying degrees, but he was never thoroughly involved in the writing or production.
The Bount arc took place in between the Soul Society arc and the Arrancar arc, featuring the titular Bounts as the antagonists. This was originally [[The Scrappy]] of the filler arcs; it started with a [[Training from Hell]] mini-arc hosted by the Modsouls, whose leader (Lirin) had a laugh ''so'' obnoxious that it's a relief she became more tolerable by the end of that miniarc. The Bounts themselves had a fairly interesting backstory, but they were surprisingly underdeveloped; the only two interesting ones were Yoshino and Koga, while Kariya's exact motives and goals went all over the place (first it was [[For the Evulz]], then it was to destroy the Seireitei for revenge, ''then'' it was to destroy everything, ''then'' it was escape the [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]
The Menos Forest Mini-Arc was an arc that Tite wasn't allowed to insert into the manga. En route to Las Noches, Ichigo and co. fall into a sandpit that drags them into the forest below, which is, you guessed it, filled with Hollows. There, they run across [[Action Survivor|Ashido Kano]] who, after saving Rukia from monsters, spills his past. The arc was cut from the manga due to time constraints, but is barely remembered because, technically, it ''was'' Filler for the Hecuo Mundo arc.

{{tropelist|page=Filler Arcs}}
* [[Action Survivor]]: Ashido, who seems out-of-place since he wasn't really ''dragged'' into fighting Hollows.
* [[Beach Episode]]: Actually not a product of the animation staff, and is based on an omake Kubo wrote.
Line 39:
** {{spoiler|Ouko Yushima}} for the Invading Army Arc.
* [[Mistaken for Gay]]: Ichigo and Renji during the aforementioned "take it off" scene, apparently wrestling another man to the ground while commanding him to "take ''it'' [a disguise] off" can give your classmates the wrong idea...
** What makes it even [[Squick|Squickier]]
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: Inaba makes ''Aizen'' look like an [[Elite Mook]] by comparison.
** In his ''shikai'', Yushima has the same abilities as [[Energy Absorption|Nozomi]] and [[Attack Reflector|Inaba]] ''combined'', making him the absolute strongest character '''in the series' history'''.

== '''Bleach Movies''' ==
The ''Bleach'' series is well-known and popular enough to market ''four'' movies, all managed by Noriyuki Abe, director of the anime adaptation. Each movie features an original plotline, rather than being an adaptation of the manga's story, as well as original characters designed by the author himself. By contrast, the original author of most manga-to-anime series tends to have very little creative involvement for anime-based films.
Line 67:
In March 2010, [[Warner Bros]]. confirmed that it is in talks to create a [[Live Action Adaptation]] of the series. [[Broken Base|Fans aren't pleased]].
{{tropelist}}
* [[Action Girl]]: Senna's ''first'' appearance has her mopping the floor with those Blanks.
* [[Anti-Villain]]: Shizuku wants to reunite with Rukia, but he's far less obsessive about it than Homura.
Line 98:
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Then again, Ichigo's never been good at sensing Reiatsu]].
* [[Sorting Algorithm of Evil]]: We'll go in order.
** Ganryu Ryodoji and the Dark Ones are fairly typical [[Filler Villain|Filler Villains]]
** On his own, Sojiro Kusaka managed to catch Kyoraku off-guard and incapacitate him for a good portion of the second movie, while fighting toe-to-toe against Hitsugaya and Kurosaki in his [[One-Winged Angel]] form. [[Bodyguard Babes|Ying and Yan]] were fairly good fighters, who held off Shunko-Yoruichi, Shunko-Soifon, Shikai-Ichigo, Rukia and Shikai-Hitsugaya without too many problems, though a Getsuga Tensho from Shikai-Ichigo repelled a their combo-attack. Their defeat against Bankai-Ichigo was off-screen, however, and they were only able to fight against Yoruichi because of regeneration from their [[One-Winged Angel|One Winged Angels]].
** Homura and Shizuku released a [[Giant Mook]] (and Mook-Spawn) that took on the Shinigami captains, while they themselves fused with Rukia to fight Bankai-Ichigo to a standstill. Both Dark Rukia and the [[Giant Mook]] were defeated without inflicting too much damage to their opponents.
