Tite Kubo’s Bleach does many things right as part of the big three, from its fun reverse-isekai elements to the power of friendship with swords to shake up the shonen combat formula. However, while Bleach has some solid drama and dialogue as well, too much of that drama comes from a shallow source: overuse of the tsundere character archetype. Bleach simply has too many tsunderes for its own good.A few tsundere characters can easily liven up an anime series, such as Kana Arima in Oshi no Ko or Inosuke in Demon Slayer, but a little of that goes a long way. Bleach’s numerous tsunderes stretch this archetype too thin, and it leads not just to repetitive character design, but also cheap humor and unnecessary dialogue.In between or even during high-voltage action scenes in Bleach, the anime uses spicy drama and lively, wacky characters to make audiences laugh and make this story fun. In small doses, that works well, such as protagonist Ichigo Kurosaki and his father Isshin annoying each other at home while Yuzu and Karin watch, or Ichigo and Rukia having strong chemistry as fellow tsunderes. The problem is that Bleach soon became overly reliant on the tsundere archetype to make characters stand out or to give them on-screen chemistry, usually for humor’s sake. Of course, not all of Bleach’s most memorable characters rely on this overused trick, and some of the tsunderes really are likable. However, the anime is still overplaying its hand, and it occurs in almost every arc.RELATED: Bleach’s Visored Captains Dropped the Ball — But Shouldn’t HaveRELATED: Bleach’s Kisuke Urahara Sets Himself Apart With the Power of Science
