O arco da Soul Society de Bleach é indiscutivelmente o melhor, mas não é
o mais importante. Apenas estabelece a verdadeira essência da história para os
arcos posteriores.
Ichigo do arco Soul Society de Bleach
Longas séries de anime shonen como os "três grandes" originais
têm muitos arcos de história, e os fãs terão sua própria opinião sobre quais
arcos de história são seus favoritos. Às vezes, um fandom inteiro geralmente
concorda em qual arco é o seu favorito, com o arco "exame chunin" de
Naruto sendo um claro favorito e a saga "Summit War" de One Piece
sendo outro clássico icônico. Bleach , enquanto isso, tem seu arco de história
"Soul Society" como favorito dos fãs.
Não há mal algum em os fãs de Bleach preferirem o arco "Soul
Society" aos outros, mas o público pode dar um passo adiante e argumentar
que o arco "Soul Society" foi o último grande arco de Bleach . Há um
argumento generalizado de que Bleach logo cai quando o arco "Soul
Society" termina, mas esse ponto de vista se concentra demais nos aspectos
errados da história de Bleach , distraído pelo brilho do arco enquanto ignora
os temas enganosamente profundos dos arcos posteriores da história de Bleach .

Por que os fãs de Bleach amam o arco da Soul Society
A Equipe de Infiltração da Soul Society em Bleach.
Bleach's first major story arc was a combination of the "monster
hunter" concept and reverse isekai, with Rukia Kuchiki the Soul Reaper
teaching Ichigo Kurosaki how to slay Hollows in a monster of the week-style
narrative. Eventually, Bleach's real plot was set into motion, with Byakuya and
Renji arresting Rukia and taking her back to the Soul Society, which was all
part of Sosuke Aizen's plans. Outraged, Ichigo trained with Kisuke Urahara to
gain his real zanpakuto and learn proper swordplay, then launched an isekai
adventure with his friends to rescue Rukia in the exotic Soul Society.
Bleach fans are right to love this story arc, as it introduced a vital
world in Bleach's lore, introduced many fan-favorite Soul Reapers, had some
exciting battles and concluded with Ichigo's iconic duel with Byakuya and
Sosuke Aizen's shocking betrayal. All that, combined with some subplots such as
Rukia apologizing to Kukaku and Ganju for killing Kaien, made the "Soul
Society" arc a clear standout in not just Bleach but all of shonen.
The "Soul Society" arc feels like a complete saga on its own,
with Ichigo gaining enormous power, succeeding in his mission to rescue Rukia
and returning home in one piece. At a glance, it felt like the end of Bleach's
story, and indeed, stories may lull fans into thinking the narrative
"should" end early because too many things are neatly concluded
halfway through. Fans were also satisfied with having met so many cool Soul
Reapers like Byakuya, Toshiro and Rangiku, and it seemed nothing could top
those character designs in future arcs.
Everything came together in the "Soul Society" arc to make it
great, and when it ended, it seemed like nothing could top that
once-in-a-lifetime shonen performance. Perhaps Bleach fans were setting
themselves up to feel underwhelmed by whatever came next, no matter the quality
of Tite Kubo's writing and artwork.
Bleach's Soul Society Arc Was Just the Beginning
Bleach Anime White Hollow
On its own, Bleach's "Soul Society" arc is actually pointless,
as it simply returns the main characters to the status quo they wanted. Ichigo
did well to rescue Rukia and make peace with the Soul Reapers, but that alone
did not advance the story or reveal much about Ichigo as a protagonist. Despite
all the "Soul Society's" exciting glamor as a shonen story arc, it
was just the setup for Bleach's real story, which may have had less glamor but
had even more substance. Aizen's betrayal and theft of the Hogyoku were the
real developments in the "Soul Society" arc, with everything else being
a mere exercise in shonen storytelling.
Bleach's story really took off with the saga of Aizen and the Arrancars,
including Aizen's overall quest to become heaven's new king and Ichigo's
struggle with his inner Hollow. Ichigo learned a lot about himself and his origins
in this saga, as did Bleach viewers, and that continued into the
"Thousand-Year Blood War" arc when Ichigo learned the truth about his
late mother Masaki. Bleach also explored vital themes such as the emptiness of
power and how it couldn't bring salvation to the Arrancars, and the
"TYBW" arc also revealed what had been hinted at in the "Soul
Society" arc -- that the Soul Reapers were arrogantly complacent and too
used to peace.
The "Soul Society" arc felt like lightning in a bottle, and in
some ways, it certainly was. It had a cool isekai-style setting, lots of
lovable characters, drama, cool fights, humor and more, and it was a huge
improvement over the monster of the week-style arc that preceded it. However,
Bleach fans must take care to not overestimate how important the "Soul
Society" arc was. While it was certainly consequential and had many vital
developments, it's just one of several in Bleach, and for all its flashiness,
it was really just setup for Bleach's real storylines concerning Rukia's and
Byakuya's relationship, Aizen's schemes, the truth of Ichigo's ancestry and the
serious problems lurking under the surface for the Soul Reapers.
Os fãs de Bleach não estão errados em nomear o arco "Soul
Society" como seu favorito. No entanto, eles também devem se lembrar de
que é apenas uma peça desse quebra-cabeça shonen, e as recompensas no
aparentemente insípido arco de história "Hueco Mundo" e no longo arco
de história "TYBW" não devem ser subestimados. Sem eles, o arco
"Soul Society" teria sido todo estilo e nenhuma substância, e não é
isso que faz um grande anime de três shonen.
