WE DOING THIS?
Bleach arc rating
Substitute: 4/10
Soul Society: 7/10
Arrancar arrival: 6/10
Hueco Mundo: 6/10 (with the highest series peaks)
Turn back the Pendulum: 5/10
Fake Karakura: 7/10 (would've been an 8. Aizen fight was terrible)
Fullbring: 4.5/10
TYBW: to be determined
I also think fullbringer reputation is fitting. Yes its the arc that attempts to deepen ichigos character, but i don't think its done in an interesting or particularly well executed way. The arc asks ichigo, how can he protect his friends w/out his powers. The answer? He can't
What makes this particularly unsatisfying is that all of ichigos friends up to that point have spent the series being relatively useless, (save Orihime's infrequent healing) and they spend the entire arc saying they've grown and don't need his help. Only to THEN need his help.
Really turns all their scenes into a joke. I think it would've been better for his friends to actually do the saving this arc. This is attempted with the captains (Rukia moment is very good) but for the most part, they're not the ones who need protecting so it doesn't stick
Plus the villain was ass butter. So yeah the arc doesn't get points from me cause it shifts to character focus instead of action focus. It still needs to be ~good~.

Just me though 👍🏾
