Bleachrecently marked its 20th anniversary, leaving many fans nostalgic about the recent official tribute video. The special commemorative video has reignited discussions about the beloved anime’s potential for a remake. With the arrival of new faces inTYBW, many fans are reflecting on a fan-favorite character whom Tite Kubo seemingly gave the worst fate, ending tragically.
How Tite Kubo Doomed a Fan-FavoriteBleachCharacter with a Tragic Fate
For decades,Bleachhas stood as thepillar of the Big Threeand is recognized as one of the greats, on par withOne PieceandNaruto.Bleach‘s last episode aired back in 2014. Naturally, many fans felt the anime wouldn’t return, especially when the epilogue felt pleasing.
Indeed, the originalBleachseries holds a special place in the heartsof many anime fans. It is an anime that blends action, comedy, and deep themes and has gained a huge following. Regardless, fans were left in shock by the truth about Gin Ichimaru, and his tragic ending left everyone heartbroken.
Gin Ichimaru is a textbook example of an antihero — a man who spends an equal amount of time playing both hero and villain. Ichimaru’s alliance with Sōsuke Aizen was driven by a deep desire for vengeance against him to avenge Rangiku, making his death all the more heartbreaking.

Tite Kubonot only gave Gin Ichimaru a tragic fate, but also failed to fully explore his Bankai. Gin’s Bankai was introduced as the fastest in the series, only to be showcased briefly before his rushed and heartbreaking end.
His Bankai, Kamishini No Yari, allowed him to extend and contract his sword at 500 times the speed of sound, significantly enhancing its cutting power and force. Furthermore, his blade also contains a deadly poison, which could cause his foe’s body to break down and dissolve at the cellular level.

This technique was called Korose, which was Gin’s secret weapon to dispose of Aizen and revenge Rangiku. If the Hogyoku hadn’t triggered yet another transformation, Gin’s years of planning might have finally paid off.
Gin spent years getting up close and personal with Aizen, learning things about him until the right moment came to strike. His betrayal had been perfectly timed, and for a moment, it looked like he might finally win—escaping Aizen’s control and carving out his own destiny.
In the end, his dream was sacrificed for the sake of the final showdown with Ichigo, leaving Gin’s story as a tragic “what could have been.”
