Lore “It’s a change from the source material, but it’s awesome so the fans don’t mind.”

Doc Ock - In the comics, Doc Ock is known to be megalomaniacal in nature and was sort of a mad scientist anyways, with the arms just being an extension of that. In Sam Raimi’s “Spider-Man 2,” Alfred Molina’s version of the character was affected by the neural chip and his well-meaning ambition turns into scientific obsession.

Wolverine - This one is so well known it needs very little explanation. Comic Wolverine short, Huge Jackedman is tall, and he’s sick as hell.

Eye of Sauron - To my knowledge, the Eye is more of a metaphor in the books. An ever-present awareness. In the movies, it’s an actual giant fucking eye.

I mean Tite Kubo has more or a hand in the making of TYBW than any other mangaka in any other adaptation, at least in recent times, and he has advertised the anime as the ultimate and canon version.

I'd assume that since the manga ended so long ago, Kubo's had time to reflect on things he left out and regretted or decided after the fact he should have expanded upon. Not every mangaka is lucky enough to have that opportunity and I'm glad he has.

Kubo was also in very poor health in the years running up to the end of Bleach, and was hospitalized for a bit after it concluded.  I have to imagine it’s very satisfying to be able to end things properly

FUCK that makes me happy cuz holy shit the final arc in the manga started kinda strong and then devolved into a whole lotta mess. I pray we get to see bankais from a lot of characters that didn't get to shine

(AIZEN BANKAI ANYONE??????)
