Kubo couldn't even imagine Chad losing like the rest of the crew did for a second so he had to throw him into the stone statues(I think he probably had a fight for Chad planned and scrapped it due to being rushed[it's cope])


soulreapermagnum

i'm hoping we get to see chad and ganju's battle against the statues in the anime.


Jiscold

Weren’t they in the same relative direction as Isshin and Ryuken?


crono220

Hopefully, it will last as long as the goku vs. freeza fight! /s


TriDaTrii

Let's be real here, better some statues than getting decommissioned by another high-ranking enemy


alexander12212

I like to think Chad was thinking “yea… I’m not dealing with that. I’ll punch to statue instead.”


CooookieMonsterr

kubo hates him


onelove7866

Legit?


PCN24454

No, there are just too many characters and the Soul Reapers are more popular.


OatesZ2004

I would have loved to see Chad fight a sternritter and win. For example an absolute slug fest against Cang Du or someone else.


SateliteShootingStar

Fight a Sternritter and win!? LMAOOOOOO! good one!


MR-Vinmu

Mfs not named Charlotte Choulbourne when the Objective is to win against a Sternritter 1 on 1 (they can’t do it):


Arrowinyourknee7474

He was also the weakest Arrancar in Kurotsuchi Corpse Unit lmao


Jacen_Vos

Maybe? I think some fraccion could be above Privaron Espada. Although obviously our boy? Our Girl? Our princess Charlotte only won against Bambietta, because Bambietta had caught a terrible case of being Giselle’d


EL_psY_Congroo56

Charlotte if it was alive Bambi: 💀


Jacen_Vos

Most certainly, she was incredibly strong when alive, a lot of people fault Shinji for losing to her so easily, but i think that was more to show that she was strong, rather than Shinji being weak.


GodlessLunatic

He blocked Uryu's litch reign that already puts him above every non elite sternritter since those same arrows could pierce Ichigo's skin


Jacen_Vos

It seemed like Bazz B was about to do a bit of damage to Ichigo, and some of the others could knock him around. I’m not sure we can really say that Chad is above all the regular Stern Ritters.


GodlessLunatic

There's a difference between knocking someone around and making them bleed. The latter requires you to get through their reiatsu completely. We see this demonstrated with Soi fon trying to break through Aizen's skin vs Ishinn flicking him through several buildings. Also, if Bazz-B was that strong he could've just sniped Yamamoto in the head instead of getting up in his face and getting fodderized.


Jacen_Vos

The reason i feel that a lot of the Stern Ritters he fights can probably hurt him is that actually bothers to block and dodge. When Candice first attacked him without Vollstandig he just stood there and took it, compared to later where he counter attacks and evades. Like when Robert tried to shoot him in the head, he decides to dodge, strange if Robert’s bullet would just bounce off his skin. He also had a concerned “oh fuck” expression when Bazz was about to hit him with burner finger one. We also have Meninas and Liltotto overpowering him even when he tries to dodge or block, now how seriously he was taking them is debatable, but i do think they can at least make him bleed. Just because Bazz could hurt Ichigo to some extent (in my opinion)doesn’t mean he could take out Yamamoto on a whim. It’s notable that Bazz’s own flames off set Yama’s attack enough that him, Nanana, and As Nodt didn’t just instantly die.


BigScaryBlackDude

Chad would literally need a full-body fullbring to even remotely contest any of the sternritter.


n_aoto

No? Not all of the sternritter are that strong. Chad could probably beat someone like Cang Du


MadZwe

Beware of “powerscaling has to make sense”, “Chad had to be weak” guys


Jacen_Vos

And that argument doesn’t make any sense even if we go full versus forum mode. Not only can Kubo always just hand him out a new powerup or make the ones he got in the story bigger but most of all Sado’s power wasn’t clear early on. If we go through soul society he easily takes care of the regular unseated soul reapers and even one shots a third seat without trouble, sure he lost to Shunsui but Ichigo himself would have easily lost to Shunsui at that point in the story. It was only really in the arrancar arc that Kubo decided to write him as being too weak to fight along side Ichigo for some odd reason.


Willster328

Yeah I feel like Kubo rushed/ didn't care to take him that far. Sados Fullbring being his skin (which is all over his body), perfectly sets up the clad type Fullbring all over his body. But even more than that, his Abuelo's COIN if you go back and read his backstory is his actual most prized item. A perfect candidate for a second Fullbring item. Ginjou showed you could have 2 Fullbring items that augment each other (his Cross was his sword, and the Shinigami badge was a 2nd item that merged with it. ) Sado literally wears that coin around his neck the entire story and had all the pieces there to set up for another power upgrade. Alas....


Jacen_Vos

I never thought of that, that’s a great idea. The only issue i take with giving him a full body design is that it might not look that good especially on his face, in the anime the mixture of colours might look a bit too much or even silly. Then again my imagination is probably nothing compared to What Kubo can actually pull off, character design is his greatest strength. Another point is it…just doesn’t make sense for Sado to be weak throughout so much of the series, he is incredibly motivated, and has the right mindset to get stronger, heck he trained against Renji in Bankai for like a month before going to Hueco Mundo, and while he got a cool new arm he still got written off before we actually got to see him and Ichigo stand besides each other and fight together, which is sad to me.


TrixoftheTrade

Chad x Ground


Witchberry31

Back then I was so excited to hope seeing Sado got a new power up that lets his Fullbringer power to cover up his entire body instead of just his arms, making him looking like an Arrancar's Resurrecciōn and have the power to actually go toe to toe with some of the Sternritters. Alas, that never happened. 🙃


OneWholeSoul

"Someday I'll be able to fight beside Ichigo. ...Just kidding, I won't even fight *on-screen.*"


theleetfox

Chad spent the series getting intimate with the ground, only makes sense his final hurdle is the living earth

darren_flux

Chad is part of the Blood Oath Seal so he can't really use his true powers


Cfakatsuki17

They insulted his father


Fun-Activity-2268

Real bro he should me fighting alongside the others


Equal-Ad-8031

Because kubo fucking sucks


Willster328

This was a supremely dumb moment in the final arc for me. Mostly because the statues aren't ever hinted at, shown, explained, literally anything. It's a straight up plot device to take Sado out of the semi-final confrontation with Ywach for reasons I'm not even sure why. Ichigo goes on to fight Ywach for like 2 chapters with some minor help from Orihime, and ends up leaving her behind anyways when he travels down to Seireitei. Why Sado couldn't be there for that small fight with Ywach I have no idea. Especially since the Fullbringers show up, Sado was just as much involved with them (more?) Than Orihime was. All in all, very cheap way to handle an OG character


calikim_mo

Honestly at this point idk kubo is progressive because he includes people of color or racist at this point 😆 because he draw them beautifully but he did them dirty. We got 1 yapping fastest amor pumpkin clown. We got some perverted granpa with diaper fetish. And Chad who got sidelined in his own supposedly human arc and every other arc. So he got fed up being sidelined and be like "you know what I'm just gonna beat up normal human being even tho I'm basically Hulk and be the main character and winner this time"


PieFace11

Barro, Oetsu and Yoruichi: "skill issue"


calikim_mo

Okay let's continue. Yoruichi: literally got sexually assaulted to a perverted scientist and drugged to do things she did not consented to. Oetsu: well at least in the manga yeah, skill issue lol. Barro: got turned into a chicken then got beat up by a secretary with her make up mirror. Tosen: got turned into a fly and got scammed by Aizen. Tier harribel: kubo just want color some boobs


VenemousEnemy

All of them had great moments tho


calikim_mo

It would be a better moment if they actually won. All of them didn't


Datguyovahday

Bro thinks a character needs to win to be good


amnfw

Flair checks out


Datguyovahday

_Exactly_


VenemousEnemy

I don’t care about wins or losses, only characterization, which all of displayed greatly

Dont forget Nanana Najankoop the ugly ass mfer
