While fans are optimistic aboutBleach‘s remake, it will be interesting to see how the franchise addresses its pastflaws and the charactersdeeply disliked by the fandom.
In every iconic series, there’s always one character who faces tons of fan criticism and earns the title of the worst character. For theBleachfans, it’s the former Espada 0, Szayelaporro Granz.
Back in the classic series,Tite Kubointroduced the Espadas, an order of ten Arrancar who are the strongest and most powerful in Sosuke Aizen’s army. Szayelaporro was the former Espada 0 who was later demoted to Espada 8.
Szayelaporro is a tall and thin male Arrancar, who has shoulder-length pink hair with bangs on the right side of his forehead, captivating many fans with his beautiful and splendid design. Furthermore, the remains of his Hollow mask take the form of rectangular-framed glasses, giving him a scholarly appearance.
Despite Kubo’s amazing character design and his scientific background, the character failed to attract fans’ attention and leave a lasting impression on the audience.
Although fans acknowledge his impressive character design, Szayelaporro has garnered more hate than any other Espada, which could pose a challenge for theBleachremake. Besides Espada 8, there’s one more character who elicits a varied response from fans, even though they are portrayed as being on the good side.
