📺 AnimeBleach: Japanese Fans Debate Who Should Raise Ichigo's Son — "The Safest Pick Being Grimmjow Is Insane"
On Bleach, Japanese fans got stuck on a hypothetical they couldn't drop: if you HAD to hand Ichigo Kurosaki's son Kazui over to a Soul Society or Hueco Mundo figure to raise, who's the safest choice — and who's the most dangerous? The top-liked answer set the tone: the single safest guardian in the entire roster is somehow Grimmjow, a verdict the whole thread agreed was unhinged. The recurring logic was that the scary geniuses are the problem — Aizen would "grow the kid the fastest" but would gleefully drag him along to conquer the Soul King's palace, and Urahara is just too unfathomable to trust — whereas Grimmjow is a rough-but-good-hearted delinquent big-brother who'd let Kazui cut loose in the Hueco Mundo desert. From there it branched into casting different mentors for each discipline (Kido to Aizen, Hakuda to Yoruichi, Flash Step to Byakuya), Ichigo himself crying "why am I not even a candidate?!" and getting roasted, and Don Kanonji floated as the one pick with actual ethics. The punchline everyone kept circling back to: every adult in this manga would be way too excited to teach this child.
