You are aware that Kubo is overlooking the project and making changes to it due to not being able to do it in the manga because it had a limited amount of chapters it was allowed to have due to it being axed right?
Bleach
Haven for the discussion and celebration of Bleach, the anime, manga and anything else in the keikaku Cour 2: July 2023 (Images aren't mine, if you want to submit a banner, icon, or if you are the artist and want your work removed, just shoot me a message.
limited amount of chapters
The chapter limitation only came about after Ichigo vs Yhwach part 2. This is quite noticeable, in fact - anyone with a good understanding of Kubo's writing style can tell things start moving a bit too fast after the halfway point.
due to it being axed right?
Due to Kubo-sensei's health complications, you mean? He was using a fucked up arm to draw large, complex panels.
making changes to it due to not being able to do it in the manga
Hirako's Bankai was never intended to be used in TYBW, yet it was added as fanservice. Offscreen fights are a hallmark of Kubo's writing style, as well. Having that in mind, I doubt the additions are simply "things he didn't have the time to put in the manga". Most importantly, however, is the bad pacing this adaptation has been set into, which completely contradicts Kubo's style - he often lingers for a looong time on important scenes and melancholic moments to allow readers to feel the intended emotions, but the adaptation has simply been jumping from fight to fight.
None of this doesnt contradict that Kubo has overwatch on the project. He went out of way last season to get the As Nodt vs Byakuya fight correct. If something was completely off of what he wouldnt have done, he would go out of his way and ask to change it. Due to it being in, its far more likely he approved it, rather than play the games of saying they added it behind his back.
