History Memes / Bleach

* "SHINIGAMI JESUS [[spoiler: DIED FOR YOUR SINS]]!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]In 616, Ukitake performs what looks a LOT like an HeroicSacrifice to sustain Soul Society. That earned him the FanNickname "Shinigami Jesus" in some fandom corners, and one thing led to another.[[/labelnote]]

** Yhwach's horse.[[labelnote:Explanation]]In the same vein as the above, Yhwach is seen riding a horse during flashbacks to a thousand years ago. Nothing special on its own, but 632 has Yhwach exerting his massive Reiatsu and forcing damn-near everyone nearby to the ground with its sheer force...except for said horse, which remains standing upright perfectly fine alongside [[TheDragon Haschwalth]]. The fans are taking this to mean it's just below Chair-sama in power.[[/labelnote]]

* [[http://deflect.tumblr.com/post/25014221956/as-nodt-trollin-bleach-chapter-496-none-of As]] [[http://cozyforjate.tumblr.com/post/25017780663/hes-climbin-in-your-soul-society-hes-snatchin Nodt]] [[http://frozenviolets.tumblr.com/post/25587653133/im-in-ur-soul-society-stealin-ur-bankais is a]] {{troll}}. [[labelnote:Explanation]]The Stern Ritter have the ability of stealing their opponents's bankais. When As Nodt does it to Byakuya, he then gives a VERY creepy smile. Fans have likened it to As massively trolling Byakuya... and to be fair, bankai stealing before they're even released can easily count as the Vandereich trolling the Shinigami.[[/labelnote]]

* [[http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_J6T1VnueenM/Syl-4JHA9II/AAAAAAAAEOY/bLo8SdAkfRE/s400/bleach_386.jpg Komamura is not amused]]: [[labelnote:Explanation]]: Komamura's reaction to Tousen-fly telling him he is far uglier than he had imagined. Tousen previously being blind and Komamura having severe self image issues.[[/labelnote]]

* [[CargoShip AizenxTeacup]] [[http://hao-samafangirl.deviantart.com/gallery/#/d234bcf is tru canon lub]]!!!11!! [[labelnote:Explanation]]:Aizen's response to learning Hueco Mundo has been invaded by Ichigo's group to rescue Orihime is to offer the Espada a cup of tea; therefore tea is clearly more important to Aizen than anything else. Taken up to eleven by the anime who have the Espada take set breaks whenever filler episodes interrupt the canon storyline. Ulquiorra tends to mimic Aizen by drinking tea whenever chaos erupts around him.[[/labelnote]]
* Ichigo's costume changes. [[labelnote:Explanation]]:Whenever his costume changes, it means he's had a change in power level. Therefore different costumes have different codes based on whether the meme is poking fun at Rule of Cool or Drama moments. For example, 80s Punk!Ichigo in Ch417 means shit just got real.[[/labelnote]]

* Soul Society is the Worst Heaven EVAR!!1! [[labelnote:Explanation]]:Based on early mistakes in fans translating Soul Society as "Heaven", and a continued misunderstanding by some Western fans who think Soul Society is "Heaven". It's a Crapfest World where the dead go until they're reincarnated.[[/labelnote]]
* [[BigBrotherIsWatching Soul Society Is Watching]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]: Existed in mild form due to the Shinigami having a system whereby they spied on the last few Quincies in the World of the Living. Kicked off into high gear when it's revealed the Substitute Shinigami Badge is a surveillance device for spying on substitute shinigami. A system controlled by the friendliest and kindest of the captains.[[/labelnote]]
* "[[SayMyName Kurosaki-kun!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]:Orihime repeats Kurosaki's name inside her head as a MadnassMantra when Ulquiorra has defeated Ichigo and Uryuu and there's nothing Orihime can do to save either of them. It's a Drinking Game staple as a result.[[/labelnote]]

* "Aizen has been watching [these memes] ever since they were born." [[labelnote:Explanation]]: Aizen claims to have been engaging in a lifelong Plan keeping track of one of the protagonists "since they were born" [[/labelnote]]

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxJfZ7Z0Hss GOOOD MOOOORNING IIICHIGOOO!!!!]]"[[labelnote:Explanation]]:Isshin's constant ambush attackes whenever Ichigo comes home from school are taken to an entirely new level every morning when he gets "ambush woken up".[[/labelnote]]

[[caption-width-right:330:[[http://www.leekspin.com/ I've been spinning for HOW long?!]]]]

* The [[http://www.leekspin.com Loituma Girl cartoon]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]: which consists of a short looped animation from Episode 2, showing Orihime twirling a scallion, while a snippet of the nonsensical middle section of "Ieva's Polka", as performed by Finnish group Loituma, plays. This was deliberately given homage in ''Anime/{{Negima}}'', the Alternate Continuity ''Manga/MahouSenseiNegima'' series. [[/labelnote]]

** Hatsune Miku, the primary mascot of Yamaha's [=Vocaloid2=] voice synthesizer software, has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbbA9BhCTko adopted]] this meme. So this is naturally taken to its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z8FQ--_3adE&feature=relate logical next step.]]

* QUALITY: Bleach frequently has bouts of OffModel in a variety of ways. (Examples moved [[OffModel/AnimeAndManga here]])
* Kubo is a TrollingCreator: [[labelnote:Explanation]]: the notion that Kubo Tite loves to troll the fandom is gaining popularity, as is mentioning that he must be insanely rich.[[/labelnote]]

** An entire page dedicated to memes about Tite Kubo and THE HEART[[http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/tite-kubo-the-heart]] thanks to [[http://manga.animea.net/bleach-chapter-354-page-4.html this]].

* The meme. [=[=][labelnote:Explanation]]The explanation behind the meme.[[/labelnote]] =] [[labelnote:Explanation]]Like this.[[/labelnote]]

* "All According to Keikaku": Aizen tendency to gloat over his victories in private by saying that everything is "all according to plan". However, numerous fan translations didn't even bother to translate "keikaku", which roughly translates to plan, leading to this meme.

* Uryuu Ishida has become a MemeticBadass, to the point where he even has [[http://i51.tinypic.com/2cpqo8n.jpg hardcore sewing]] memes: [[labelnote:Explanation]]: so badass that even when he's about to be killed, he never stops emanating geek badassery.[[/labelnote]]

* Uryuu Ishida has become a MemeticBadass, to the point where he even has [[http://i51.tinypic.com/2cpqo8n.jpg hardcore sewing]] memes: [[labelnote:Explanation]]: so badass that even when he's about to be not killed, he never stops emanating geek badassery.[[/labelnote]]

* Ichigo is [[HeinzHybrid part everything]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]As of Chapter 514, he's Human(with [[spoiler:Quincy]] powers), Shinigami (Captain-level too, not not just any old Shinigami), and Hollow(with both Vizard and Fullbringer powers). Pretty much all that's left is for him to manifest an Arrancar-style Resurrección (like the similarly Hollowfied Tousen did) and he'll have dipped into every possible type of powers in the Bleach universe. Although his Ulquiorra-killing form may just be the BishonenLine of Resurrección...[[/labelnote]]

* [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v304/spartydragon/tacoaizen.jpg TACO AIZEN]]: [[labelnote:Explanation]]: So named because "Hueco Mundo" sounds like it ought to be a food chain (given the life cycle of a hollow, it kinda is). The LiveJournal community capslock_bleach has taken this meme and run with it.[[/labelnote]]

* "[[ArcFatigue Are they still in Hueco Mundo?]]" or alternatively "Are they still in Mexico?" [[labelnote:Explanation]]: The Hueco Mundo arc became vastly extended by ExecutiveMeddling when it took ''four years'' to cover a mere couple of days in-universe.[[/labelnote]]

* DPE [[labelnote:Explanation]]: the handy scale for "Dead Person Energy". The higher the DPE, the more powerful the character.[[/labelnote]]
** DPE/s [[labelnote:Explanation]]: DPE/s is a measure of how many DPE it takes to move one second forward. On a scale of 1 (rapid) to 100 (nothing happens), higher DPE/s means more work is needed to advance the plot due to it being contrived, unrealistic, convoluted, etc. This usually happens around the high DPE characters. Due to the cyclical nature of the story's plot, each iteration of the cycle (each new arc) results in an increase of the DPE levels of the characters exceeded by an even greater increase of the DPE/s.[[/labelnote]]

* "I'm going to violently kill you, X!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]:Awkward translation of Hitsugaya's defiant shout to Aizen just before they fight. Hitsugaya gets slaughtered by Aizen. Meme used to poke fun at any character that tries to come across as resolved and badass when they're.... not.[[/labelnote]]

* It/He is [[OverNineThousand over nine Tousen]]!

* Chapter 427: Ichigo likes chocolate.

* GET OFF MY BED! [kick] [[labelnote:Explanation]]New villain Ivan Azgiaro appears all of a sudden, standing on Ichigo's bed. HilarityEnsues.[[/labelnote]]
* "OOK! That's not how it works!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Spawned from a very bad translation of something Kirge Opie said.[[/labelnote]]

* Not even Gekka Tensho works! [[labelnote:Explanation]]: Somehow, despite years of it being spelled Getsuga Tensho, in Chapter 501, Mangareader, the premier scanalation site, managed to mistranslate it as Gekka Tensho.[[/labelnote]]
* "REDUCE THE DAMAGE, YOU IGNORANT CLOWNS! [[ChewingTheScenery REDUCE THE DAMAAAAAAAAGE!]]" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Szayelaporro having a massive FreakOut during his battle with Uryu and Renji and eating one of his Fracción to heal himself, as per [[Creator/BenDiskin the dub]].[[/labelnote]]

* [[WesternAnimation/AvatarTheLastAirbender Suì-Feng, the last Airbender]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]As of her battle with [=BG9=], it is revealed that Suì-Fēng's Shunkou is of the wind element. The joke practically wrote itself.[[/labelnote]]
* "Hmmm...Nope!" [[labelnote:Explanation]]Askin Nakk Le Varr takes at one look at Mayuri's new get up and walks away from the fight.[[/labelnote]]
* Luders Friegen.. are you perhaps, a prophet? [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of Yhwach's more memorable lines during his introduction, where he promptly kills the Arrancar not long after denying him the chance to even explain himself. This line in particular kept getting parroted over the forums for a long while.[[/labelnote]]
* '''ON'''![[labelnote:Explanation]]During the scene where a frozen As Nodt questions himself if what he feels is fear, Mangapanda somehow managed to write a simple two-lettered word "NO" backwards.[[/labelnote]]

* QUALITY: Bleach frequently has bouts of OffModel in a variety of ways.
** Several more known examples include Ikkaku's [[http://i30.tinypic.com/1569wee.jpg RAPE FACE?]], [[http://i25.tinypic.com/ibxfmo.jpg What the hell happened to Rukia?]] and [[http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs20/i/2007/269/5/d/Madarame__you_son_of_a__by_Bleached_Inc.jpg Hitsugaya rape face scares even Ikkaku.]]
** Certain female characters' huge bosoms are often prone to the "one breast twice as big as the other" syndrome.
** The manji-shaped handguard of Zangetsu's bankai form doesn't stay consistent about which way it turns.

* '''"WHAT THE HELL"'''. [[labelnote:Explanation]]This is the title of Chapter 603, which was quite the WhamEpisode thanks to Yhwach performing ThePurge ''on page''. The fandom was completely "W-what the HELL?!" at it.[[/labelnote]]

* [[AvatarTheLastAirbender Suì-Feng, the last Airbender]]. [[labelnote:Explanation]]As of her battle with [=BG9=], it is revealed that Suì-Fēng's Shunkou is of the wind element. The joke practically wrote itself.[[/labelnote]]

* The [[http://www.leekspin.com Loituma Girl cartoon]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]: which consists of a short looped animation from Episode 2, showing Orihime twirling a scallion, while a snippet of the nonsensical middle section of "Ieva's Polka", as performed by Finnish group Loituma, plays. This was deliberately given homage in ''Negima!?'', the Alternate Continuity ''MahouSenseiNegima'' series. [[/labelnote]]

* Ichigo is [[HalfHumanHybrid part everything]].[[labelnote:Explanation]]As of Chapter 514, he's Human(with [[spoiler:Quincy]] powers), Shinigami (Captain-level too, not not just any old Shinigami), and Hollow(with both Vizard and Fullbringer powers). Pretty much all that's left is for him to manifest an Arrancar-style Resurrección (like the similarly Hollowfied Tousen did) and he'll have dipped into every possible type of powers in the Bleach universe. Although his Ulquiorra-killing form may just be the BishonenLine of Resurrección...[[/labelnote]]

* [[InvincibleHero NOBODY DIES IN BLEACH]]: [[labelnote:Explanation]]: a reference to the fact that almost none of the main characters have died. Lots of people die in ''Bleach'', but they're all the guys the Soul Society fights against. Meanwhile, the people who work with Soul Society can receive a crippling sword wound that drains them of enough blood to power a water slide yet still survive. [[/labelnote]]

* "Hitsugaya-kun, [[LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya denwa"]] [[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the methods used by Mayuri to defeat Zombie!Hitsugaya and immobilize him enough to try de-zimbiefying him is sticking him into a sort-of GroundhogDayLoop. The LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya jokes practically wrote themselves.[[/labelnote]]
