If that's copying, then Naruto is copying Dragonball because he can jump high, or have super fast speed.

I seriously don't understand the comparison that people are making to Naruto. His Bankai came WAY before Naruto learned how to use Rasenshuuriken, and there's no surprise that it would look like that.

Because I'm almost positive you meant to quote me I'm answering.

Ey fagdag, it's called an homage and there is nothing wrong with it. Tite is giving an homage to Kishi.

I don't see how you got so worked up about it. Truth is truth.

Last panel with his surprised face is a bit of a giveway to this homage. Read between the panels bro..Between the panels. lol

99.9% of shonen copy Dragonball/Z, it's pretty much the godfather of shonen.

Again, I don't see how Bleach just copied hardcore. It's common instincts for people to try something new if something doesn't work. I never said it was anything about looks, I stated that Ichigo failed and tried something different. There is nothing copying about any of this.

Someone's really bad when trying to make a point.

What face should he make when he finds out his "star-like projectile" failed? Should he had been very happy and clapping for glee? Should he have been very angry that his new ability failed to do anything? Cause that's the exact same face I would have made if I found out my new ability failed.

This isn't a homage, and it's not a copy. Tite is giving Ichigo a thought process when he's fighting rather than slash, getsuga tensho, slash more, BIGGER GETSUGA TENSHO + MASK. Tite purposefully let us read all of Ichigo's inner thoughts advancing from one strategy to antoher, JUST LIKE IN REALITY. It's not truth if it's wrong, it then becomes an opinion. Something doesn't work, try something different.

I know many of you guys bag on Bleach because it's the same thing over and over again, and you need something to rag on. But you're pretty much wrong on this "copy." Kubo is finally having Ichigo have some variations and *gasp* strategy.

Wasn't much strategy on Ichigo's part going on in my opinion but I am sad to admit that he does seem to be thinking a lot more critically than when he had a sword... which is a good thing.

If there's anyone on this site that has defended this manga more then me then step forward, because when it comes to saying sh!t about this manga i'm the first person to give a reason or theory to why the plot is moving like that, so i'm not ragging on anything i'm simple saying what I saw and what it reminded me of.

I'm having trouble making a point? It seems like your grasping for invisible air there. What are the chances Tite decides to give Ichigo a new power and has him test it out by throwing a RS type move WHILE the next number 1 manga in the country (which is in the same magazine) has our protagonist using a jump stance and having a move just like that?

I'm basically asking for the chances of Ichigo being drawn like that with Naruto RIGHT NEXT to him in the magazine and popularity?? The chances are nonexistent. Its so clearly an homage that I'm done trying to convince you.

Also, because I know that you'll point it out, you might say how is it an homage if Ichigo always had the BAN symbol? He had the symbol on his zanpakuto sure but just because it's now enlarged to look like a huge shurikan doesn't mean Tite is thinking about giving Ichigo a power like this. In fact I'm pretty sure Ichigo will go back to fighting with a sword.

Lastly. There seems to be confusion between copying and homages. Copying is outright plagerism and is spit upon by fans and publishers alike. Creating an homage is something that will be obvious to the reader/author, complimentary to the story being praised, and is just a flattering way of saying "I'm reading this too"

wow! people fight over Bleach. I just enjoy the manga and the anime too.
anyway, i really can't compare naruto and bleach...i haven't read naruto.
