Thread: Favorite Bleach poems

6, 24, 12, and 33 are my favorites. 6 helps give perspective to why they fight, 24 just expresses grimmjow's character wholly(which was an absolute neccesity for ichigo to be able to control his power),12 enlightens and intrigues me at the same time, is aizen the flower thats taken that trip into the blue sky? and 33 gives insight into just the type of person noitra really was.

Wow, those are pretty good, it´s the first time i see this in a manga.

The fact that most of those poems are character-centric is all the better, it gives an abstract view about their personality.

Also, i like how Aizen´s poem was a clue to his real character.

My favorites are: 3, 5, 7, 11, 22, 25 and 28.

The blade and me
Rosa Rubicundior, Lilio candidior
Unshaking throne.

I love those three. Grimmjow's always raises a smile for some reason though.

I liked the ones intertwined with chapter 0-a and 0-b, about fate being a millstone too. Lemme find which volume they're in and i'll edit them into my post.

EDIT:

-17 - Prelude to the straying stars
we will not stop walking
though the path may eventually fork.
it turns without stopping
And we never stop either.

But when the time comes,
when we learn fear and look back
.... would we call that fate?

And we begin to walk the same path.
That is why we won't stop walking
though the road may eventually fork.
We won't stop walking...
Even though the road may eventually end.

0 - side A (ichigo)

It spins
The world changes.
Every time it touches the sun and the moon....
.... it takes a new shape

The one thing that does not change....
.... is my powerlessness.

It's turning.
If fate is a millstone...
...then we are the grist.

There is nothing we can do.
So I wish for strength.
So if I cannot protect them from the wheel...
Then give me a blade....
....and enough strength....
...to shatter fate.

0 - Side B. The rotator (rukia)

It's turning.
If fate is a millstone...
... we are the ones that make it turn.
We believe that the crushing wheel...
... is guided by an infallible power.

I think -17 is a real insight into ichigo's character. There's another one I liked lol. I forgot about that one >_>
