There are 48 days left until the final cour of Bleach TYBW, and today we're sharing a poem from volume 48 of the Bleach manga, quoted by Sosuke in his butterfly form by the Hogyoku. It speaks of what we humans are like, according to Sosuke, and his perspective—unfortunately cruel and true.
"All humans
are imitations of monkeys.
All gods
are imitations of humans."
Okay, I know that for many, the Bleach timeline is a bit confusing, and in fact, I recently stumbled across this whole thing about the Bleach timeline and what events occur. But the degree to which each Bleach arc and novel is combined with Burn the Witch and Zombie Powder leaves me even more confused, because even though they're by Noriaki Kubo, we don't know with any certainty what dates they take place. We do know about the Bleach arcs, but the rest, chronologically speaking, is just as confusing.

There are 49 days left until the final cour of Bleach TYBW, and today we're accompanied by the poem from volume 49 of the Bleach manga, quoted by Ichigo narrating the beginning of the Lost Agent arc, a great arc that had many highlights.
"I wonder
can I carry on
with the speed of the world
without you in it."
There are 50 days left until the final cour of Bleach TYBW, and today we have the poem from volume 50 of the Bleach manga, whose verse is quoted by the villain of the Lost Agent arc, Kugo Ginjo. It speaks of time and the future and what was to come, so I think what was to come was already upon us.
"Time always goading from behind,
raising a growl before one's eyes,
is wholly washed away.
Let halt your steps!
Time shall wash you away
to the beautiful past,
and how it shall pare the fangs.
Don't look ahead!
Your hope approaches to the rear
only within a dark, turbid stream."
There are 51 days left until the final cour of Bleach TYBW, and today we have the poem from volume 51 of the Bleach manga, a poem quoted by the great Riruka. And since we shouldn't lay a finger on her heart, it's a very strong warning.
"Don't put a finger in my heart"
There are 52 days left until the final cour of Bleach TYBW, and today we have the poem from volume 52 of the Bleach manga, quoted by Shukuro. This poem is associated with the way of recounting the past and the bite marks left behind.
"Let's count together for me
The bite marks
That I left on you"
There are 53 days left until the final cour of Bleach TYBW, and today we're sharing a poem from volume 53 of the Bleach manga, quoted by Yukio, reflecting on the fact that regardless of age, whether we're young or inexperienced, we grow older, and adults are unable to forgive.
"It seems that I,
even this young,
even being this inexperienced,
have grown withered by age.
As for the adults, being completely flawless,
such is like a thing impossible to forgive."
Today I'm sharing my 33rd drawing of me with Sajin, but this one is a bit more emotional, because a dear and beautiful teacher of mine passed away Wednesday morning while I was studying. I found out about her death while I was at a rehearsal, and we went to her funeral to say goodbye. My teacher, who was a wonderful principal, looked beautiful, and everyone who knew her cried, including my family. I cried too, but I cried inside, with my inner child, because I really wanted to cry, but I was brave. Then, after I stayed home, I'm showing how Sajin, after noticing my face, cried, confessed his feelings, and hugged me.
My teacher helped me in my career as a flautist, and I invited her to my graduation. She also helped me pursue my other career as a composer, and I thanked my teacher for everything she's done for me and everyone else. Then I told Sajin about it, and here I'm showing how he's supporting me through this recent loss. He puts his arm around me and keeps me company so I don't feel alone, but he assures me that I'll be okay and tells me that being brave isn't about holding back tears, but that if I wanted to talk it out with him, I had the right, and I did, because that's what friends and family are like.
I hope you liked this drawing a lot; I really wanted to. I wanted to express this recent loss in the drawing I made. I originally had a plan, but that will come later.

There are 54 days left until the final cour of Bleach TYBW, and today we're sharing the poem from volume 54 of the Bleach manga. This poem is quoted by Rukia as she announces the end of the Lost Agent arc, where she speaks of the heart and strength. Without a doubt, the Lost Agent arc is one of my favorites; it had many tense and emotional moments, as well as some very interesting twists.
"If it can be said
that it is the heart that is unchanging,
then that is the strength."

Please forgive me for sharing this so late, because I went to a funeral to say goodbye to a great and beautiful teacher who passed away yesterday morning. I apologize for being late.
"One step forward.
Never able to go back.
To a universe drenched
in a sea of blood."

So, back to Vietnam with Dunan when he fought against Highland.

have, as my wish, that I want to protect you from that danger,
because, within me,
is an urge alike to that danger,
I cannot be otherwise."

(Sajin's farewell left a profound impact on me, but at the same time, it was key to me becoming a better person.)
"His life
Will continue to oppose
His heart
Is full of fangs"
