Soul Chess/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: [[Word of God]] intended to induce this when {{spoiler|giving Tatsuki a bigger role in the story}}. The jury's out on whether or not it will become a ship.

** Mayuri is {{spoiler|[[Killed Off for Real]]}}

* [[Archive Binge]]: Good luck getting caught up very easily considering how the series is a [[Doorstopper]]

* [[Ear Worm]]: Shuren’s incantation: Fire burn and fire roar, total destruction from mountain to shore. Does not help that it sounds very similar to the line [[The Smurfs|Gargamel]] spouts in the opening sequence.

* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: Vera, much to the author's own surprise.

* [[Fridge Brilliance]]: All of the matchups in the {{spoiler|second}} battle of Karakura Town, which were set up by [[The Chessmaster|Lelouch]] are a case of this when the method to his madness is revealed.

* [[Funny Aneurysm Moment]]: In chapter 31, Rukia draws {{spoiler|her and Hisana attacking Byakuya}}. Come chapter 34, this becomes decidedly less amusing. {{spoiler|[[Chekhov's Gun|It also came back to bite]] Byakuya during Lelouch's trial.}}

** In chapter 78, Kendra says, {{spoiler|as Komamura passes out}}, that the gang is going to be fine and that he can rest. Cue {{spoiler|Hisagi}} dying.

** Remember {{spoiler|[[Tear Jerker|Susanna’s]] [[Convenient Miscarriage]]}}? That happened on Lelouch’s birthday.

* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Keigo wants to go play with a fribee in chapter 52. Later in the chapter? Catch it. Catch it with your teeth.

** Tatsuki mentions that if Keigo was a different kind of guy...

** {{spoiler|Tensa Zangetsu}}’s [[Undying Loyalty]] to Ichigo comes across as this if you read too much into it.

* [[It Was His Sled]]: Parts of the Prelude to the Final Game arc, Eye of the Storm arc, Visored arc and Reapers and Heralds arc that are the same as canon are skipped over. [[Word of God]] also writes on the basis that [[Viewers Are Geniuses|all readers have seen the ins and outs of ["Bleach]]"]. On the bright side very rarely can the author be accused of [[Did Not Do the Research|not doing his research]]

* [[Mary Sue]]: One could argue a case of this for [[All Powerful Bystander|Rita]] [[Troll|Ginunga]]

** {{spoiler|Unohana’s Bankai}}

** {{spoiler|Don’t break the rules of Shunsui’s Bankai. The end result is not pretty}}.

** It's actually worse than his previous life because it makes him look sadistic.

** {{spoiler|Kaien}} attacks Ichigo on ''Aizens advice''. He knows that Aizen is the [[Big Bad]], and he still listens to him.
