Thread: Bleach - Which do you prefer for good guys: Shinigami or not Shinigami?

Non-Shinigami. Quincies rule. And Fullhollow Mexican is cool too... Or rather was and could potentially be again...

From: lazerpig | #008 Just think. In an alternate universe, the storyline took a completely different turn; Renji and Byakuya never showed up, and the Soul Society (and beyond) arc never happened. Instead, we were treated to a Bleach that stayed true to its roots; a series where characters were fleshed out, where Chad, Orihime, and Uryu were all still useful, on a similar level as Ichigo. A series where hollows were still the main bad guys,...

So, which one do you think are the more interesting people to be the protagonists of Bleach? 1. Shinigami (Ichigo, Byakuya, Kenpachi, Rukia, etc) 2. Not Shinigami (Ishida, Chad, Orihime, Tatsuki, Keigo, Mizuiro, etc) .... I personally prefer the Shinigami. I don't care if there are a lot who say they are the Spotlight Stealing Squad, but I see them more colorful than those who are not. And that's always a good thing in my book. I...

The shinigami are the saiyans of Bleach. They pretty much stole all the spotlight from the regular powerful humans, but are more interesting anyway so it's ok.

I'll choose Bleach, thank you very much! And of course the villains make the better good guys. Aizen actually has something of a goal. Soooo... Banzai Aizen-sama!

Bleach

Shinigami hands down. Soi fon, Kenpachi, Rangiku, so much awesomeness

I prefer the human side. It's partly because I think Kubo's done his best writing when fleshing out their backstories. Two of my favorite chapters are Tatsuki remembering how Ichigo changed after his mother's death, and Mizuiro making friends with Ichigo and Chad. Also, most of the shinigami are unabashedly arrogant. It gets annoying. That isn't to say that I hate them; it just is what it is.
