HOGUYOKU WHERE R!!

>>25743983
I second this. I liked him from the manga.

>>25744034

Here's the question.

"What is the quickest, safest, and most reliable way to powerlevel our Xp for Hollow, Quincy, Shinigami, and Zanpakuto?"

>>25744073
Really? That seems like a waste, I mean there's a 90% chance that even if Cos says it's possible, people won't go for it.

>>25744080
I can get on board with this

>>25744034
Will we be able to explore other places besides the already defined locales of bleach? I mean, plot is already off the rails, might as well see what else we can fuck with.

>>25744080
Grinding our way through the plot would be my bet and this includes the training arcs

What can I say, I like surprises in this quest. If this were more "Oh fuck oh fuck the slightest mistake will fucking KILL US" like Meta Geass, that'd be another issue, but we don't really NEED to know where it is to stay alive.

>>25744080
>>25744102
>>25744116
>>25744125


Refining it, based on those flaws, and the fact that Cos just said "You're getting too close to rules lawyering".


"What is the most efficient method of training available to us to gain Xp for each of our various powersets?"

>>25744201

But that's dumb.

Why would we want to power-level into the place where Bleach started to suck, and get the best way of doing so, when we could just choose to play the game and learn something more interesting?

>>25744034
What's the likelihood of Hitsugaya getting thoroughly and brutally killed?

Dudes can we worry about the lesbian who might be a tad freaked about the fact we just switched places with a doll and left her with some rather unsavory convicts.

>>25744235
Because as the answer is just gonna be training, it's actually wasting the question. Wasting the question might be the best idea to maintain the integrity of the game.

>>25744254
She's a dyke, I'm sure she's seen enough hentai to know what's going on.

>>25744237

>>25744254

As far as we know, everybody in the building is trustworthy. If she's worried we can have a quick chat, but it's not a situation worth panicking over.

>>25744288
It really is the closest thing to redeemption that is possible for him

>>25744288
But we'll just be playing into Kubo's hands.

>>25744357
Sometimes Kubo is right

>>25744237
>>25744288
>>25744326
>>25744357
Okay, as someone who never really got very far into Bleach, but is picking it back up because of this quest, what all did he do that makes him so hated?

>>25744286
True but that does seem funner than trying to powerlevel in a quest where we are going to get powerleveled regardless of what we want.

Also are we still going to Ghost Mexico to save Quincy Mom or what?

>>25743983
>Getting Renji out of the friend zone.

Impossible.

Rukia is more likely to hook up with her adopted brother by this point.

>>25744288

Why do you want him dead?

Did he become a cunt after I stopped reading or something?

>>25744400
We're certainly going to try.

>>25744395
He isn't really hated. His main thing he's famous for is A: having crazy plot twists that seem like asspulls but we're really planned all along
And B: not having the balls to stand up to his editor, and letting his series turn to shit.

>>25744411
You say that like her hooking up with Byakuya isn't a serious possibility.

I have a question that I'm not sure has been answered yet: can characters display abilities they have not demonstrated in the manga?

(Like potentially formerly non-powered characters getting superpowers, and/or shinigami unlocking bankai)

>>25744450

He's talking about a character, not Kubo.

>You know, I’m going to get the wrong impression if you keep staring at me like that.

Raising an eyebrow, you smirk at Honsho. “You know, I’m going to get the wrong impression if you keep staring at me like that.”

She lets out a snort. “Yeah, as if Kurosaki. You’re not my type.”

Shaking her head, she looks back at you. “So, I got the basic overview from that Tessai guy. You’re some sort of death god who fights monsters and saves souls. But I guess you didn’t hear that whole line about ‘Ye who fight monsters,’ did you Kurosaki?”

>[ ] Huh, didn’t know you knew Nietzsche.
>[ ] Stuff it, Honsho.
>[ ] I prefer Shakespeare, myself
>[ ] Write in

She stands up and stretches. “Well, I’m getting hungry, Kurosaki. I’m going to go get something to eat. I’m rather unfamiliar with this area, so I don‘t have a problem if you want to come along if you want.”

>[ ] Sure
>[ ] No thanks

>>25744395
I just find him to be a shit character, his personality is 'I'm grumpy because I'm a child and everyone treats me as such' and his fights are all about as asspull-ly as Ichigos, except they almost always don't do anything effective at all

>>25744395
Kubo or Hitsugaya? Hitsugaya is known to be Kubo's least favorite character, but is a fan favorite, so he's forced to give him screen time. The result of Kubo's hatred is that Hitsugaya almost dies every time he appears.

>>25744417
He was tolerable at first, until he started showing up in wildly inappropriate situations all the fucking time because the editors forced Kubo to appease the squealing fangirls. He was NEVER supposed to be a major character, and it kinda shows. He has metric fucktons of screentime, but no real characterization to show for it.

>>25744488
>[ ] I prefer Shakespeare, myself
"There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy"

>>25744288
Yes. Salvation through death. Double death?

>>25744395
The Japanese fanbase loves him (specifically the female readers) He is one of Kubos least favorite characters so every time editorial recommends bringing him back, Kubo does so... then inflicts severe damage to him. Most likely out of spite.

I kinda lost track of the series not far into Soul Society, so all I really know about him is "Dude's sword is WAY too big for his stature."
>>25744489
So theoretically, Cos could make him cool the same way he's made Orihime more fun? Or is he beyond salvation?

Rukia is more or less a canon bi-sexual (pictured) and according to the filler, or at least dog mans imagination, seems to maybe have a hankeren' for the forbidden fruits of brotherly love. This mixed with her award winning personality and sense of charm makes her the perfect waifu.

Of course this is Cosgroves show and we already torpedoed the canon relationship Ichigo and Rukia foster, so who knows how things'll be?

Kinda, but not quite.

I was thinking more like using her to sway Orihime into a 'sharing' mindset using her as the basis instead of us.

I mean, she REALLY likes Orihime. Orihime really likes us. All we have to do is say we're not totally opposed to the idea and that we don't TECHNICALLY have any say over it since the two of us aren't in a relationship.

Personally I want to know if we have a chance to run into Coyote early before Aizen. He's just a ronry guy looking for people strong enough to be around that he doesn't kill them by accident. If we get to that level and meet him, he would make a pwerful almost guaranteed ally.

>>25744606
Welp, guess we'd better hope he gets to die being useful. Maybe he can take a fatal wound for Renji and the Ikari kid can have all his screentime. We could use a medic. And he seems like a nice guy.

Heheheh

Ahahahaha

That is genius.

Everyone's loyalty missions involve overcoming their personal demons via fighting and a bunch of emotional stuff. Except Honsho's, which is just convincing Orihime to swing both ways.

>>25744840

No really. Think of it like a Venn diagram. There's a portion of women who are into women, who are into men, and are into both.

By teaming up with a lesbian or bisexual woman and agreeing to share, you're destroying that untouchable boundary.

>>25744931

It's honestly bizarre how much time I've thought about the hows and whys of sex when I have little to no interest myself outside a detached 'scientific' curiosity.

So we should make Hanatarou a main character right?

>>25744845
>>25744875
We should get Hanataro to hang out with Mizuiro. The ladies of Soul Society will never be safe after he learns the art of harem-keeping.

>[X] Huh, didn’t know you knew Nietzsche.
>[X] I prefer Shakespeare, myself

“Huh, didn’t know you knew Nietzche.”

You blink at her in surprise before smirking. “There are more things in heaven and earth than are dreamt of in your philosophy. I prefer Shakespeare, myself.”

Honsho raises an eyebrow at you. “Really now. That’s a surprise. Didn’t figure you to be well read, Kurosaki.”

You shake your head. “Have to be. I’ve got to keep my bgrades up if I don’t went our teachers giving me crap over this.”

You wave in the direction of your hair. Honsho looks speculative before shrugging. “To be honest, I never really considered it. I always just thought of you as that dumb brute that my Hiem was being tempted by. But I guess you aren’t dumb at all.”

>[X] Sure

You think about it for a second before nodding your head, a few moments later you‘re back in your body and the mod soul is in his plush. Walking over to tessai, you ask to use the phone. He nods, handing one to you. You dial in your house’s number and wait as it rings.

You hear your father’s voice come on the phone. “Kusosaki residence, how may I help you?”

“Hey, goat chin, I’m going to be eating out, so could you tell Yuzu?”

You hear your father give a grunt of acknowledgement. “Sure. Just don’t be out too late.”

His voice turns teasing. “And don’t do anything I wouldn’t!”

You slam the phone down, irritated. Honsho looks at you curiously.

“Something the matter Kurosaki?”

You shake your head. “Nah, just my old man being a dumbass. You ready?”

Honsho inclines her head, walking towards the door. “So, where do you suggest, Kurosaki?”

>Honsho’s choice

You shrug. “You’re inviting me along, so I suppose whatever you want.”

Honsho raises an eyebrow before shrugging. She puts on her shoes and picks up her bag. “Let’s go then!”

About ten minutes of walking, you see Hnosho pause as she sees a small ramen bar before she walks over to it and sits down. You follow suit.

You both place your orders, and you have a few moments to talk. Honsho is looking over at you, waiting for you to lead the conversation.

Lets not forget that we are a smart ass and ask if all this shit hasn't cheapened her tastes.

unrelated to current question, but since we have ImprovAizen Bro-Gin, and possibly badass exile Rukia, we should have a Byakuya who figured out he didn't have to break laws to do good on his own, and became a Vulcan-level rules lawyer

>>25746447
I'm sitting on a post I wrote last night for gut spilling to Honsho that I've been sitting on for the second round of the conversation

>So..... despite being kinda friends we apparently don't really know each other at all."
>"So, how're you coping with all of it? Chad's taking it like he does everything, completely unphased. Orihime...she's become...sigh...I think I'm in over my head here..."


You sit there, trying to think of something to say, but you don’t really know much about Honsho.

“So… despite sort of being friends, we apparently don’t really know each other at all, do we?”

You look at her, but she looks slightly uncomfortable as she nods. “No, I don’t think either of us really cared about the other person, to be honest. Why would we? But you consider me a friend?”

You nod your head and she allows a melancholy smile to grace her lips. “That’s the first time in a long time anyone’s ever told me that, you know?”

She looks at you. “Not a lot of people really want to be friends with me. This is the first time someone actually wanted to spend time with me. Many times I end up eating out alone, so I‘ve acquired a taste for ramen.”

She gives you a soft smile. “Thank you, Kurosaki.”

You nod as the ramen is brought out. As you’re eating, you keep an eyes on her. “So, how are you coping. With all of this? Chad’s the same as always. Unphased. Orihime is… complicated.”

Honsho gives you a disappointed look. “Really Kurosaki, how is it complicated. She likes you. She’s kissed you. Most guys, and me, would die for a chance to have a shot at her.”

As she finishes slurping some more Ramen, she points her chopsticks at you.

“And yet her you are, having dinner with a lesbian. So what’s the deal here?”

I've had an elaborate scheme typed up I was planning on sharing under certain circumstances with the same person.

What's the tone/intent of your message sir? I wish to know if you be comrade or competition.

>>25746685

I'm honestly more interested in her than the Hime.

>>25746685
>I don’t know what to do
>I’m afraid she’ll get hurt

>>25746685
I don't know what to do.

>>25746685
>I don’t know what to do
>I’m afraid she’ll get hurt

"Soul-devouring demons from beyond the grave are easy. I apply violence until the problem goes away. But romance, while I'm still not even sure what percentage of me is human and I'm being attacked by a fun new monster every other day? Thats something I was never trained to deal with."

>>25746685
>I’m afraid she’ll get hurt and there's no way I can live with myself if I let here or anyone else I care about get hurt because of me.

>>25746685
I think a lot of my deal goes back to the whole spooky-ghosts thing and the fact I seem to have been born both their exterminator and bait.

>>25746685
"She's determined to get involved in all of this mess, and that includes sticking herself into the absurdly dangerous situations I get myself into.

I mean, I've died once and had near-death experiences several times in just this week alone. I don't want to see her get hurt like that, but she's determined to follow me into it all.

>>25746685
You seem well read. What does the vast majority of literature have to say about the endings available to someone in my position?

>>25746814
I like this answer.

>>25746685

"What's complicated? Well, there's the fact that she's only bothered to tell me about it during the week my universe turned upside down. There's the fact that wile I don't dislike her, I also had a crush on someone else, which complicates things. I mean, she's sweet and I like her but.... I never really considered her romantically until just recently."

"So I really don't want to hurt her, or anyone honestly, but I don't think I'm capable of doing anything that won't end in disaster right now. Especially since this is sorta uncharted water for me. I'm good at intellectual stuff, and I'm good at fighting. Emotions...." Just kinda trail off and shrug.

>>25746685
I don't want ther to get hurt. In the past week so much craziness has happened it's unreal, that and I've found out that I'm such a persona nongrata that just being in the same city as me endangers her.

How could I possibly think of a relationship with someone knowing how much danger they'd be in, hell even if it was safe what if she wants kids? I mean I don't think I could inflict the danger of going out with me on another person how could I then inflict BEING me on someone else?

>>25746685
Confide in Chizuru.

sigh

"You told me that I better not hurt Orihine...but I know that I already have. She told me that she was falling in love me...and I told her that with everything that was happening to me right now, it would be irresponsible to get involved, but after things calmed down... I would be able to give her a real answer...but now she's trying to develop powers to fight and protect me..."

Huff out of sadness and into mild frustration.

"I've changed her life... and what's worse is I hid something from her that she deserves to know...how can this all have been a single week? How am I still me? How can she be so willing to accept the monster bound and awake inside me, that has threatened to consume soul? I'm the king in my own mind for now...but for how long...you were right about monsters,"

"Let's make a deal. We'll be honest about our feelings, and no matter what, we make sure 'Hime is happy with whoever she chooses and chooses her in turn...besides...I'm not so sure how I feel yet."

>>25746904
This, this indeed

>>25746685
>I don’t know what to do
"It's not that I don't find her attractive, I do. Oh man I do. But I'm not really over this girl I had a thing for a few years ago that I was too scared to act on. And now Orihime just coming out and confessing like that's got me thinking maybe I could do it, tell that girl how I feel. But then I'd hurt Orihime, and she'd be mad at me for hurting Orihime, and I'd just wind up torpedoing two friendships. And now you'd be mad at me for hurting Orihime too, so I'd be torpedoing three friendships, and... Do girls have this much trouble with the whole 'romance' thing?"

>>25746890

I think we should start here, and when she pushes, let our guard down lust a little and say something like this. >>25746904

>>25746685
>I’m afraid she’ll get hurt

I'm dragging her, you and various others into this other world filled with danger, yet every time I reveal more of the hazard around me, she becomes more insistence to stay by my side..

Sat on this for 48 hours, and just slapped in some minor edits for new context.

This.

>>25746685
>>25746685
"I've never been all that tuned-in with my feelings, to the point where I'm not even sure if I'm interested in her romantically.

But Orihime is... the opposite. She's in love with me to the point where using the term 'devoted' wouldn't be inappropriate.

And that... kind of scares me. Even if I did date her, I'm not sure if I can match that level of intensity, and it'd just end up hurting her."

>>25746977
Good effort dude

>>25746951

I like this idea the most.

Start off with the usual confrontational dismissive tone, and then be honest.

>>25746904
I think we're overstating things about True Zangetsu.

Like to this Ichigo, he's not really been much more than aggressive and kind of unnerving.

>>25746949
>blatant Tatsuki pandering
no

>>25747056
Seriously, he basically became our bitch after we beat him, he was really nice last time we talked.

>>25747114
Eh, even before we beat him he wasn't all that bad.

>>25747114

We still think he's the Hollow in us, and it has only been a few days. We need to stay strong to keep him in check, but I think we might still be worried about the whole soul eating monster part of us.

>>25746685
Sigh."Everybody has something about them that drives them above all else.
Most people don't know what it is, what makes them go. The few that do find out usually have something simple, something normal, like money or comfort.
I'm not sure why, but...no that's a lie, I know exactly why. Ever since I was a kid, I've been driven by the desire to protect, to always help those who can't help themselves, to be strong where they are weak. Unfortunately, that means I take a lot of hits.I'm always gonna be in a fight, there will always be something after me.
Orihime is a nice girl, but I'm not sure she'll be able to survive if she tries to keep up with me."

>>25747056
True Tsungetsu has been very reasonable, but Ichigo doesn't know what the guy was like in canon. Without that knowledge, it's reasonable to think he's just lying in wait.

>>25746890
my vote to this

>>25747028
I don't know, am I the only one who thinks that a teenage boy being faced with love that overwhelming would honestly be kind of afraid of it?

I mean holy shit is she into Ichigo.

>>25746890
support.

>>25747182
Eh, that excuse didn't fly the first time.

But talking about drives, I think Ichigo might be beginning to understand that the thing that drives Orihime is, well, him.

>>25746890
Cut the bit about the existing crush (we only knew Rukia for a couple of days and likely think we will never see her again) out and this works for me.

>>25747259
They're talking about Tatsuki.

Rukia's more just a pretty girl we met and kind of hit it off with.

>>25747259
Don't think he was talking about Rukia, dude

>>25747234
This is a really good point. We should mention just how worrying that really is. I mean, it's pushing Shirou levels of distortion and represents an immense level of dependency.

Orihime will become whatever she needs to to be with Ichigo. Ichigo is now aware of this, and the responsibility terrifies him.

>>25747259
>we only knew Rukia for a couple of days and likely think we will never see her again
Could be referring to Tatsuki y'know.

>>25747259

Are..... Are you actually this dense or are you trolling?

>>25747289
Huh, thought he was mostly over that by the time the manga started. Then again it's been a few years since I read the relevant chapters...

>>25747259
He's referring to Tatsuki who since Ichigo knew as a kid he must have had a crush on her by default.

Rukia is this short little ball of aggression with a pinch of Moe we met one afternoon. She's the equivalent of the girl you met at the grocery store while standing in line and you two sort of maybe hit it off, but you forgot to ask for her number.

>>25747259
we definitely acted like we had a crush on her though, and according to Kisuke she's doing a routine report and maybe getting caught up in noble shenanigans

>>25746685
"Well she's nice, and cute, and I think I might like her, but OH GOD SHE'S WAY TOO INTENSE AND IT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE HONSHO HELP ME I'M SCARED."

Is this pretty much a tl:dr of the long wordy bits everyone is typing up? Because honestly I think this gets to the heart of the problem much faster.

>>25747303
>I said I would do whatever it takes to be with you... to protect you... I have you weapons... purpose... and now the only thing I have left to give to you is my life.

>>25747348
If we use this line I fully expect Honsho to help by buying us a box of condoms...

>>25747303
Yeah I think this is the important point.

Like our crush on Tatsuki is whatever. Orihime called us out on the 'muh burden' thing already.

And honestly we haven't been given any reason to worry about ourselves because both people in our head seem to think we're good.

>>25747303
>and here we all realize Cos made Orihime one of the scariest characters here

>>25747348
"You have superpowers, right?"

"Y-yes"

"And you fight supernatural horrors that eat the souls of the living and dead alike, right."

"Yes but Honsho what are you..."

"THEN WHY ARE YOU SCARED OF THIS OF ALL THINGS?"

>>25747425
We must kill her to save her.

>>25747425

yeah...and we have to decide if we ever tell her that the hollow that attacked her was Sora.

>>25747303
Do we really want to stress to this chick how crazy in love with him her crush is?

>>25747463
God no. Let her think it was just a random spooky ghost and that her dead brother was resting in peace. There is no reason to drop something like that, its just unnecessary trauma at this point since the event is over and done with.

>>25747463
I was going to bring him up if we talk to Uryu why we won't let him kill any hollows.

>>25747459
"BECAUSE COMMITMENT SCARES ME"

>I don’t know what to do
>I’m afraid she’ll get hurt
>Confide

You let out a deep breath. “Can I confide with you?”

Honsho nods her head. “Well, to be honest there’s the fact she only told me when my life got turned upside down. I don’t dislike her, but I had a crush on someone a while ago and while I don’t dislike Orihime, I never considered her romantically.”

You give her a glance as she sits there, chin resting on her hands and eyes closed. “You told me I better not hurt her, but I know that I already have. She told me that she was falling in love me...and I told her that with everything that was happening to me right now, it would be irresponsible to get involved, but after things calmed down... I would be able to give her a real answer...but now she's trying to develop powers to fight and protect me..."

You give of huff of frustration.

"I've changed her life... and what's worse is I hid something from her that she deserves to know...how can this all have been a single week? How am I still me?

You trail off and look at her as she sits there. After a few moments she cracks her eye open and looks at you. “Are you done, Kurosaki?”

>>25747614
I'd rather take the challenge and try to sway her to the binomial side.

>>25747614
nah man

>>25747564
Harem endings are for wusses.

We are going to turn Ichigo's life into a Shakespearean comedy.

By which I mean the story will end with an improbable number of marriages.

>>25747652
As you nod she lets out a long suffering sigh. “You’ve never been in love with someone have you?”

She stares at you intensely. “Well, love’s a crazy emotion, Kurosaki. It can make you brave, weak, strong, crazy, and it’s a roller coaster you never can really get off of. When you’re in love, you want to take those risks.”

She stirs around the broth in her soup. “I’m not telling you what to do. I owe you that much. But, for as much as you keep saying ‘you don’t want people to get hurt’ you’re talking bullshit, Kurosaki.”

She glances at you sharply. “I don’t know if it was this crush of yours, or what ,but you’re afraid of people getting to close to you. You keep pushing people-”

She pauses and then shakes her head. “-women, as I don’t see you having a problem with Chad or anyone else male in your merry band, getting close to you. So you push them away and tell them its because you don’t want them hurt. So when they distance themselves from you, you can tell yourself ‘well, I guess things didn’t work out. I was right to push her away.’”

Hnosho shakes her head, her voice rather strained. “But then someone comes along and they don’t listen to that. They won’t give up on you and they want to be there. And it scares you- more than anything. Because your normal guards don’t work. Because you’re afraid of them getting hurt. Because if they get close enough to you and you lose them, you’re not sure what you’ll do.”

She looks at you, her eyes red rimmed. “Kurosaki, tell me. You said you’d be honest with me. Who did /you/ lose?”

Do you think that means shit to Ichigo? The guys got serious guilt issues, and is going to blame himself despite all reason. It's not valid, but it's how Ichigo probably sees it.

>>25747827
Where are these stories coming from? Who the hell says things like that about a 15 yr old? Did I miss something in the early chapters?

>>25747814
his head knows that, but does his heart?

>>25747814
I think he's going for a trauma induced emotional response and not the rational one. Maybe dad never blamed us, but we damn well blamed ourself.

>>25747814
We fell for Grand Fisher's bait, circumstance however did do a majority of the fucking over of us though

>>25747675

".... My mother was killed by one of those monsters. Practically in my arms."

"I don't know if it was because I blamed myself for what happened, but ever since then there's only ever been one thing I've been afraid of. That sense of helplessness. Unable to d anything but watch terrified as the most important person in my life faded away."

"I promised myself it would never happen again. I got stronger for fights, got smarter. My Dad's a doctor, so I've been reading some of his medical texts on the side. Watch out for my sisters, watch my friends backs."

"And now I'm coming to find out I've covered maybe five percent of my bases, and I never even knew the half of what I was up against."

>>25747827
Way too over the top. I don't think we're angry about it anymore (we killed her killer after all) it's just a wound that can't quite ever heal.

>>25747675

...

"If you asked me before yesterday...I would have told you that I killed my mother."

Pregnant Pause.

"...last night I met the bastard who did...who gloated about it, I cut his mask in half after I took the giant out. She died protecting me from him. I need to be strong enough that no one needs to protect me...I need to be able to protect everyone. I guess in a way...in a way I still caused her to die...mysterious power loss of no..."
