Tite Kubo is not just an awesome Shonen author, he also knows how to place comic moments inBleach.Bleach: Thousand Year Blood Warhas been on a roll with its beautiful animation, original scenes and proper manga to anime adaptation. But no one could have seen aBlack Cloverreference coming.
Even more surprising is the fact that the gag moment came from Kenpachi Zaraki, the 11th Division captain who is known for his brutal tendencies and straightforward nature. The funny moment suits him even more since he is stating absolute facts, but is suddenly similar to another popular captain inBlack Clover, Yami Sukehiro.
The running gag inBlack Cloverthat is now inBleach
Black Clover‘s Yami is the eccentric captain of the Black Bulls squad. He is known for his reckless and uncouth behavior along with frequent death threat deliveries. He is also an extremely powerful character, being the captain to one of the most elite magic knight squads. But if there’s one more thing the character is known for, is his love for poopy time.
Yami being in the washroom is a running gag inBlack Clover.In fact, he rarely ever gets to be there in peace. Either he faces a lack of toilet paper, is interrupted by Magna or Asta, or his washroom walls are destroyed by a blast. The poor man hardly ever gets to poop in peace.
I Can Prove It – Yuki Tabata Took the Best Parts of One Piece, Fairy Tail, Hunter x Hunter and Bleach to Create Black Clover
Fans absolutely love the way Yami is never at peace during his most precious time. In one instance, both Magna and Asta open the doors to his stall, to which Yami responds that they are dead. This running gag in the anime and manga has become aBlack Cloverstaple.
Bleach: Thousand Year Blood Warmight have referenced Yami’s washroom gag
In episode 399 ofBleachtitled,Gate of the Sun, Mayuri passes through the game on the city of Vier Ast. Just when he gleefully states that it’s easy to get away from everyone by reopening the gate, he is shocked by the emergence of Kenpachi Zaraki. When a wide-eyed Mayuri asks Zaraki how he even got there, he casually replies that he was in the washroom when everyone forgot him there. The next scene shows that he has walked upon Mayuri and Nemu while they were reopening the gate and simply followed them.
Studio Pierrot’s Greatest Dilemma: Make a Bleach Remake or Focus on Black Clover and Boruto
Fans have always loved Zaraki for his unique nature and unimaginable strength, but the scene reminded them about Yami fromBlack Clover. Yami often gets unnecessarily involved in serious matters during his washroom time. This time, the same happened to Zaraki.
The gag may or may not be a reference toBlack Clover‘s Yami. But what’s important is that fans were able to relate both the scenes in the respective series due to their similar hilarious natures. It might not be a reference, but the gag is still well timed and thus well-received by the audience.
Black Cloveranime is available to watch on Crunchyroll andBleach: TYBWis streaming on Disney+.
