VS.
Welcome back to BCC Month where I match up Bleach girls against various Anime chicks from multiple franchises and they'll go BEEWB-to-BEEWB on whose the ideal girl and for the most part, what makes them appealing/attractive to us viewers. In the last 7 Rounds, the various girls from multiple Anime series have won whereas only 1 Bleach girl (6 to 1 in a nutshell). However, that's not to say that the Bleach chicks are ugly. I find that most of the Bleach girls are either one of two things ~ relevant vs. irrelevant to the story. However, even irrelevance (supporting) can take the spotlight over something that's relevant (major). In today's Round, I paired up these two because I found them to be both calm, cool & reserved during conflict. Today's Matchup is Bleach's 3rd Espada herself ~ Tier Harribel & Ghost in the Shell's very own mascot ~ Motoko Kusanagi. Take into account that personality, HCA Levels, & BEEWBZ play a role in the final decision. Without further ado, let's jam on some BEEWBZ!
Personality (Tier Harribel)
Unlike most cliche villains where their primary purpose is to act vile, despicable, and repulsive, Tier Harribel is calm, reserved, and focused at the task given to her by then-master Aizen Sousuke. And unlike most villains who treat their underlings like sh*t, Tier Harribel genuinely cares for her underlings' wellbeing and would rather risk her life than to see them get hurt. Tier Harribel's only outburst was when Aizen, a man he came to respect and look up to, betrayed her. Other than that, Tier Harribel is a motherly Arrancar whose passion for compassion & understanding towards her subordinates is without question anything but antagonistic.
Personality (Motoko Kusanagi)
Motoko Kusanagi is the main protagonist in the Ghost in the Shell series/films and thus her relevance as a character is of upmost importance. She's a cyborg whose incredibly skilled deduction & hacking. Since she's a member of the Public Security Section 9, she's highly intelligent, strong-willed, and physically empowering. She's a complete badass that shows that you don't mess with cyborgs and looks are to be deceiving.
HCA Levels (Tier Harribel)
Tier Harribel hands down is my favorite Bleach female character. Aside from her badassery, there was a lot of depth to her character. She's the first antagonist that didn't portray any antagonistic personalities and her overall mannerisms completely are opposite amongst her fellow Espada. In her pre-release form, she displayed a good portion of her body whereas in her released form, her BEEWBZ are given a pretty good view (Censored on TV, Uncensored in Comic). To me, Harribel is sexually appealing in terms of her attire and her charm as an Espada made me attracted to her right away.
HCA Levels (Motoko Kusanagi)
Despite being a cyborg, Motoko is quite a looker. If you've seen her in the Anime series/films, she's quite something. Though her mannerisms are entirely fixated on the tasks given to her on thwarting cyber-terrorism, she's displayed a sense of duty, honor, and chivalry amongst her companions. She may not be the best in terms of socializing, but when you need someone to cover your @$$ ~ there's definitely appeal there. To me, Motoko is attractive in the sense that professionalism = sexyness.
BEEWBZ (Tier Harribel)
OH MY GAHH! Nuff said.
BEEWBZ (Motoko Kusanagi)
Again, OH MY GAHH!
Decision
Despite Tier Harribel being my favorite Bleach female character, we have yet to see her role in war between Shinigami & Quincy. She played only 3rd to Aizen's meticulous and well-crafted character whereas both Starrk & Baraggan played 1st and 2nd. With Motoko, she's the star of the Ghost in the Shell series. Her complex nature in things stems from the fact that her primary motive is fixated on stopping cyber-terrorism. She's physically strong, intelligent, and overall displays a sense of duty compared to that of Tier Harribel. Though I love Tier Harribel's mannerisms & overall genuine concern for her subordinates, the same can also be said with Motoko since she's more of a team-player since she's in charge of Public Security Section 9. Motoko's displayed more openness to finishing the job at hand + protecting her comrades compared to Tier Harribel who was about to strike down Captain Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto, but was completely interrupted. This sums up actions speak louder than words. Motoko's character is given more depth since she's portrayed in 3 Anime renditions of Ghost in the Shell & 2 films. Tier Harribel is likable and all, but I gotta give credit to Motoko ~ femininity isn't needed to show that badass chicks with guns have appeal to them than someone whose femininity is displayed from her wardrobe & cool demeanor. Both are badasses in their own right, but in this man's opinion ~ I think Motoko is the ideal woman showcasing that if you're ever in a pitch, Motoko's there. With Tier Harribel, her relevance to the story is put on hold considering her defeat at the hands of Aizen gave rise to a new emerging threat that easily managed to deal with her. On the other hand, Motoko isn't weak by any means and gives new meaning to ~ "hot badass cyborg."
So who do you think won? Tier Harribel from Bleach or Motoko Kusanagi from the Ghost in the Shell series/films? Comment below and let us know. Look forward to BCC posts on Mondays, Wednesdays, & Fridays up until September 29th. Until then, you all stay classy now. WBCR & Blog Update is down below.
Tier Halibel proved she could stand her ground in any situation but the fact that she was dealt with by 2 Overpowered characters that have more hax than her especially Yhwach Bach so she couldn't do anything to them.
