Death God's Bebop (Track #12) - Hanabi



The 7th ending of Bleach can best be described in 2 words: GIRL POWER! This is one of the first endings where a lot of the Shinigami women are featured + occasional men. The song is titled Hanabi and in my opinion, is a pretty chill Bleach ending because not only the song sang beautifully, but the Bleach women are  symbolized by their beauty, growth, strength, and determination. I like the pairs to - the 4th division, Orihime & Rukia, Yoruichi & Sui-Feng, and surprisingly enough - Nemu & Momo. Do you see that everyday? No. Do you see them lie around in a circle? No. Is it cool to see it - Yes. Some say that a lot of Bleach endings are catchy and whatnot, but it's rare that a ending can capture the essence and heart of Bleach's characters - men & women alike. I mean a lot of endings capture Bleach, but you could argue that some are more action-packed than others or just showcasing the content of the character's growth and power. But when there's no fighting in the opening or ending and just shows the characters - I think that itself capture that these too are characters - we are invested in this world and we'd like to see them. So I think the essence of the circle at the end symbolizes endurance, friendship, and that bonds can be formed between just about anyone - whether Shinigami & human.

I hope you enjoyed this week's Death God's Bebop. Until then, you all stay classy now!
