Once he decided that using a sword would work better with what he wanted to do, Kubo began searching for a name that wouldnвЂ™t only fit his story, but also reveal the bigger picture. However, he was notified that he could no longer use the name вЂњSnipeвЂќ because it had already been taken. We do see later on that he didnвЂ™t completely ditch the idea of the scythe, as ShuheiвЂ™s Zanpakuto Kazeshini looks similar to a scythe. The only character that wouldnвЂ™t have used a gun was Rukia, who would have used a scythe as her weapon of choice. Originally, the plan was to name the manga вЂњSnipe,вЂќ and the Shinigami, or Soul Reapers, carried guns rather than swords. In an interview, Kubo stated that when conceived the story that we now know as вЂњBleach,вЂќ there was no plan to call the story вЂњBleach,вЂќ or to even have swords as the main weapon used, for that matter. The next theory is that Kubo wanted to relate the title to Shinigami, also known as Soul Reapers.

Shuhei wearing a Shihakusho and holding his Zanpakuto, Kazeshini. However, that is never implied in the manga or in the anime, so there is no proof that the theory is true. In addition, there are similar theories stemming from this one, and it states that Kubo named вЂњBleachвЂќ what it is because many characters, including Ichigo, have bleached hair. The same is true with any manga-to-anime adaptation. Although this is not stated in the anime, the manga holds the authority because it is the original version written by the author Tite Kubo, while the anime changes words around and cuts things out. On page 10 of that chapter, Ichigo is gets scrutinized by some thugs because of his bleached orange hair color, and Ichigo replies that orange is his natural hair color. If you go to chapter seven of the manga, you will soon find that this theory is not accurate. To answer the question of whether IchigoвЂ™s hair is symbolic, you have to go back to the manga. This column will analyze the three main theories, and ultimately decide which theory relates the most to the storyline. To fully understand these theories, the manga must be used as a source of material to answer this question. As a result, multiple theories regarding what title means have spawned. Many people have asked that question of author Tite Kubo, but there has never been an official answer. Why is this manga and anime called вЂњBleach?вЂќ It seems like it was named that because it sounds cool. вЂњBleach.вЂќ You know, that title seems to be rather random.
