He isn't. The troll meme is even older and more stale then that meme.

Except that he is considered one even by japanese fans.

So is Hiro Mashima and the creator of Gintama.

So what? That means shit. People misuse the word, labelling anything they don't like from an author as "trolling" and so on.

Unless he has outright stated "I fucking hate my fans and love to torture them out of nothing but sheer spite" calling him a troll is inaccurate.

Except that's not why it's labelled as trolling.

It's trolling because its like what the Trolling Creator page says it is, yanking the fandoms chain around out of frustration, proving a point, or out of amusement.

It's usually the latter.

Which is also not what Kubo does.

Trolling is malicious. Getting a kick out of yanking someone's chain is malicious.

Kubo has never really shown anything like that.

So making Aizen be behind everything when it doesn't even make sense in context with the story itself isn't trolling?

Heh, guess you learn something new every day. Or not.

...no, it's not. That should be painfully obvious.

If he did it just to upset people then it would be trolling. But has he ever said that?

Not that I know of.

And YMMV on it not making sense anyway.

Author messing up =/= trolling.

Pfffft. Lu is trolling.

He that makes himself a sheep will be eaten by a wolf

Sorachi is clearly more of a troll than Kubo will ever be.

It's not likely Kubo is gonna say "hey, I love fucking with this fools that read Bleach"

But I agree that troll is a term that is used too often. Like the sues.

Kubo just doesn't plan ahead. It's not trolling, it's bad writing.

He goes with the flow. Which is kinda too haphazard for my tastes. Maybe Oda's pacing is slower, but he plans ahead and less plot holes are likely to happen. Still, Kubo's work is not too shoddily constructed despite the flaws, so it still can be fun.

He's been planning this Arc since the end of the Soul Society Arc.

Makes me wonder if Ashido was going to be a Sixth Ranger if the Forest of Menos mini-arc was in the manga.

Time to leave them all behind

That cut for time thing still gets me.

I thought that was Renji for a second...

Also, I find it funny that eyebrows are the sticking point.

Oh so that's what that is.

@Wander, yeah it is weird for the eyebrows to be that important but Kubo strikes me as the kinda guy who would get hung up over something like that....

Clearly it's the only way he can tell the characters apart.

Rukia knew the feeling well. The movements of her tongue on the inside of her cheek, like when she would play with her Soul Candy. Only, familiar as it was, it wasn't her cheek. And hers wasn't the only tongue there. Or was it?

"Relax. Leave everything to me," she heard her voice say. But her mouth was busy. And as for her partner... oh right, they were using the hole on the side of the duplicate's face.

Electricity shot down her spine. Was she really that lost in the moment that she'd forgotten?

"You liked that, huh? I could see your toes curl in your tabitranslator's note

," the doppelganger said. Rukia always closed her eyes when she kissed, but she could hardly expect her counterpart to do the same, without eyelids to cover that cute little dangling eyeball.

Rukia didn't want to seem to excited at the sound of her own voice, so she simply pressed her head forward in assent, against the steady dome of her soul mate's exposed scalp.

She wished their hair was longer, so their shimmering tresses could intertwine, like their love that had found itself.
