Bleach Blazing Souls
, now rebranded as Bleach Soul Revolution is a Bleach Play-by-Post Game set in an alternative not so far future.
It has a vast array of characters, ranging from Idiot Hero types to Anti Villains and right into arch-villains with a wave of the hand. Being heavily influenced by the Nasuverse and .hack does not help to lessen the serious Mind Screw going on while taking a trip through the cast, either.
Bleach Blazing Souls provides examples of:
- All-Loving Hero: Johnathan Walker not only inspires people, but also always tries to talk first before resorting to violence.
- All There in the Manual: Comes with the territory. Most information about characters is stored in 'applications' of characters and can be checked by all users at any time, but is not available to the characters themselves. Applies to information about weapons, the plot itself, and the races.
- Artifact of Doom: Angra Mainyu translates into 'evil spirit'. Take a guess what the main objective of one of the bad guys is?
- Badass Boast: Quite a few, in fact.
- "JUST WHO THE HELL DO YOU THINK I AM? I'm Haseo, the Terror of Death!"
- "I'm Johnathan Walker, the strongest Quincy in existance!" - Brought to you by the most confident likeable jackass in the world.
- Badass Creed: A small sample of them:
- Archer and Shirou both have their respective chant about themselves to summon Unlimited Blade Works, one of the strongest magics any Sugiura can use.
- Falling Star has a Kamen Rider-esque speech that changes ever so slightly with each of his appearances.
- Beam Spam: What is worse than Zefonse's Expoisa? How about the more dangerous and faster Star Expoisa? It can punch a hole in Sekiseki-stone and the range is the same as Expoisa.
- Beyond the Impossible: Heroism, the King of Hollows, ripped right through a shield made out of Sekiseki-stone and the connected barrier it created.
- Big Brother Mentor: Johnathan Walker takes it upon himself to show any new hero the ropes. Alexander is this to Waver, as well.
- BFS: Tsubine's Sacred is taller than him by a foot and a half... and Zefonse's Zanpakuto is a bit taller than him as well. Chisei has a six foot-long katana also.
- Blessed with Suck: The Tsurugi-type Guardian Beasts grant their holder insane amounts of power... For a price. Which is usually way too high.
- Cool Old Guy: Imported straight from the Nasuverse, Kischur Zelretch Schweinorg is an incredibly powerful Sugiura Sorcerer that plays important roles in many backstories... Without existing as a character. His mythical Sword of Plot Advancement plays a role in one of the subplots as well.
- Cursed with Awesome: Touma's right hand cancels the threads of fate around him. It eliminates his good luck, but also turns him into a Chick Magnet and gives him the ability to cancel every single spiritual ability in the world with a touch.
- Dark Is Not Evil: Oh my... dressed in all black, black hair, black everything, surely it must be an evil- never mind, it's just Yuri.
- Deus Sex Machina: The Sugiura are able to recharge their Reiatsu by having (consensual) sex. Plain and simple.
- Evil Counterpart: A Sugiura that reaches the height of power with a Sacred obtains a form called Kyuu Kyou. Too bad that reaching this stage always creates an evil Split Personality, often more powerful than the original, and with the goal of destroying whatever is important to the Sugiura in question. Of course, when a normally evil Sugiura obtains it...
- It Runs in the Family: A common trait among the Suguiras is certain family activities. Most Suguiras also have varying animal traits. The Tohnos also have the Inversion Impulse that every generation has.
- My God, What Have I Done?: That moment when Dai realizes that he's let Heroism lock Soul Society away within itself for five years.
- One-Handed Zweihänder: Tsubine, when not using Iaijutsu, wields his massive nodachi with one hand.
- Our Angels Are Different: Haseo and Aura/Morganna/Shiro are called the angel of death and angel of life, respectively. At least the latter has actual wings in the common sense.
- Our Vampires Are Different: Having different backstories as to why they are vampiric in the first place, no common rules regarding bloodsuckers exist besides drinking blood.
- Pre Asskicking Oneliner: A list of examples once more:
- Tsubine's favored one: 'Eclipse'. Another one that's not used quite as often: "Full limit release. Commencing eradication."
- Haseo delivers one memorable one to remind everyone what series he is an expy of... "I'm right here... SKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIITH!!!!"
- Touma, another expy of many, has his usual "I'll break your illusions!" shout right before punching someone's face in. Take note he is more likely to be able to do that to a high-powered spiritual being than a normal human martial artist.
- "I'll show you what it means... to truly kill something." Delivered by Tohno Shiki whenever he is about to slice someone into more pieces than you can count on two hands.
- Tohno's half-sister also developed a few. "Freeze.", "Drown in my eternal embrace..." and last but not least, "I. AM. NANAYA. EIS!"
- Primal Fear: Daigoro is completely and utterly afraid of himself. For good reason.
- Selective Obliviousness: Once the topic is love, the normally quiet and reserved Takuri Sugiura is clueless.
- Shirtless Scene: Meet Kasai Rain. The human who has to take off his shirt for his powers to even work.
- There Is No Kill Like Overkill: Zefonse does not only slice you apart into eight bits. He also crushes your heart and inner organs in the same move. It should also be mentioned that this is not even close to what he's fully capable of. Same for the method used to kill Arcueid, who was cut into seventeen pieces of meat.
