proper thread for live tweets of my bleach read through #shashbleach
kisuke carrying the arc ngl
sword measuring contest
the rukia stuff was cool aswell btw with her trying to lie to herself in order to suppress the emotions that has started to betray the ‘ideal’ soul reaper she was supposed to be #shashbleach
yeah the influence kubo had on gege’s style is extremely obvious lol. love the panelling so far #shashbleach
clear of the anime #shashbleach
survivors guilt, his mother’s death the traumatic event that feeds into his belief that he should save others or he would be responsible for the harm that comes to them. somewhat relatable/ordinary guy in a tough spot #shashbleach
probably didn’t watch the anime properly cus i missed this stuff ngl #shashbleach
kisuke like an even more questionable version of gojo with his teaching methods. reckless, risky with almost no regard for wellbeing but a layer of ‘care’ ig beneath that. ends justify the means type beat #shashbleach
training isn’t real so having an arena that matches the fakeness is pretty cool. if the training is ‘bad’ it could also be a play on the buddhist heaven/earth thing where ichigo isn’t actually getting any closer to enlightenment/real growth ig #shashbleach
probs my fav of the quotes so far #shashbleach
pandora’s box
two more aspects of his self, which along with his human part might be a commentary on freud’s id, ego, superego which could kinda work in a loose way #shashbleach art nice
kubo’s aesthetic is really great #shashbleach
byakuya obviously hiding emotions behind the stoic facade but the extent to which he believes in his role and his faith in the soul society is something i don’t remember so i’m intrigued #shashbleach
heard the names can be good characterisations so perhaps this is hinting a love gone wrong or something from kisuke’s backstory involving a woman? #shashbleach
seems like more of a commentary on ichigo #shashbleach
pretty dangerous outlook with the lack of fear but kisuke gotta know why/what made ichigo this way (or at least have an idea) because it’s obviously not a natural phenomena #shashbleach fear as a distraction was cool, reality is subjective type beat
those who can’t sacrifice cannot gain. #shashbleach
smell schemes man, in a good* way i think #shashbleach
finished SSR arc. nice characterisation & moments with some cool ideas/art/presentation. set up stuff i’d like to see explored. solid overall & the set-up of Soul Reapers as guardians of samsara is nice because that’s inherently wrong in the path to enlightenment 👍🏼

‘I still don’t know what mikasa did’

thread exploring mikasa, eren, and what ‘love’ can mean in attack on titan Image
firstly, the functional reasons why he doesn’t know. erens eyes are closed in the mouth of his titan, he opens them when mikasa enters and he only sees her (eye reflection) once his head was severed. just like when he didn’t know how he entered paths after gabi shot him
Image
Image
this lack of knowledge is important because it ties into how his memories work. when he talks to zeke in marley he states that he didn't just see memories, he ‘felt' them. essentially eren fully EXPERIENCES the memories he holds as if he himself lived them Image

AOT SPOILERS

actual ‘reaches’ (not foreshadowing btw wrong word):

-pg 13 only numbered page in aot (links to long dream, 9 pages long)
-ymir + zeke from page they got powers to page of death = 13 pages
-eren wakes up pg 45 in yr 845, dies ch138 pg 45
- 139 = end of a cycle ImageImageImageImage
sigh i meant wakes up in page 13 of year 845, while dying in page 45 of chapter 138

‘everything… is still ahead’

complete breakdown of eren’s psyche, mikasa’s role, and the battle between free will and determinism in attack on titan ep87: ‘the dawn of humanity’ Image
this episode is the first real look into eren’s psyche since the timeskip and it’s centred on two main concepts: his determination and his self loathing. his venture into the outside world changes his perspective but it doesn’t stop him from following through. + ImageImage
for this it’s important to note that his coldness in his conversations with floch and historia is BEFORE he crosses the ocean. he can still view them all as enemies who he is fighting but he’s forced to accept the reality that they’re ‘all the same’ once he sees them for himself+ ImageImage

an exploration of human selfishness

thread looking at annie, floch, armin, mikasa and the rise of the yeagerists

attack on titan episode 82: ‘sunset’
the episode opens with the ruins of stohess. this is a call back to s1 where erwins plan led to the capture of annie with lots of civilian casualties at the same place. erwin was later revealed to be led by his ‘selfish’ dream, and this selfishness is what allowed him to +
sacrifice others. his burden and guilt gives rise to questions concerning eren’s own mind. he said he was doing the rumbling to protect paradis but his actions have led to the titanisation of paradisians along with civilian casualties. it’s aligned with another important +

yoriichi & kokushibo: the sun & the moon

demon slayer thread
the second noble truth in buddhism teaches us that because we believe we are a permanent and unchanging self we fall into clinging and craving, jealousy and hate, and all other poisons that cause unhappiness. this is kokushibo and his search for the ‘self’. +
yoriichi and kokushibo present two opposing halves, much like other siblings have throughout demon slayer. one was given the rights to the house, education, clothes etc while the other was ‘blessed’ with talent. kokushibo’s journey stems from egotism. +

akaza’s backstory and conclusion made him a lot better than i thought he’d be

thoughts below #shashds
it was mostly emphasis on the fact the desire to be strong is borne from insecurity (weakness) or past failures. it was the same for uzui, tanjiro and the other demons. demons are humans who gave into the desperation of their weaknesses and through that lost their humanity. +
the hatred akaza felt was just an extension of self loathing, the weakness he abhorred in himself. this is when muzan plays in. the process of becoming a demon is what removes the memories of the past, they become lost in their anguish and are reborn into suffering (samsara). +
