Hey guys, just have a question for you. If characters like Naruto and Ichigo had known of their respective heritages sooner, then could've been avoided many bad things, or just cause more trouble?

I say the former, because in my opinion, many moronic ideals had caused many catastrophes and situations that shouldn't, all... because of a... fucking... secret...

My points: Naruto:

1) If he knew about Kurama sooner, then perhaps many situations could've been avoided, and perhaps could've gotten some training that would avoid many unnecessary situations

2) If Naruto had spoken with someone like perhaps Kakashi ir Tenzo about ideals instead of Hiruzen, then he would've turned out to be more serious and would not hesitate to do what's right (killing when it's a must, steal info, etc.) instead of being a pathetic moron that clung to the craving for aknowledgement tighter than a monkey with a branch.

Bleach:

1) Kisuke, Yoruichi, the Vizards and Isshin knew Ichigo was the main piece in Aizen's plot, and yet they decided to let Aizen use him as his Guinea Pig, resulting in Rukia's Execution, Orihime's abduction and his own death, twice.

2) Ichigo should have known of the Three Races (Shinigami, Hollow and Quincy) sooner, resulting in perhaps Masaki's salvation due to a Reiatsu pulse, Rukia's Execution going smoother, him fully embracing his true self, Orihime being saved, and in him not turning to use the Saigö no Getsuga Tensho, which is really stupid in my mind, to sacrifice all of his powers in one swing, when he could've been a Kidö Master like Kisuke and used that to his advantage, along with Zanjutsu and Hakuda.

While very lacking in points, those are my main ones, because I despise people with potential only having the bare minimum of it unlocked, only the necessary, when they had enough time to train and fully discover themselves, rather than just doing it at the LAST FUCKING MINUTE SO THEY CAN DIE!!!!!!

However, while they may have gotten stronger, they ended up crippled in the end. Ichigo's real Zangetsu becoming the original one, being his black oversized kitchen knife (I refuse to call it a Khyber Knife when it looks more like a knife Goliath's wife uses to cook), and Naruto losing an arm.

Another stereotype would be them paired with the useless ones. While I like Hinata and Orihime, they're just too gentle for their own good; Hinata being shy and a stalker, that does not scream confidence, which to me means that she's only being a silent fangirl. Orihime is too much of a pacifist, and in a world of
war and death, they are the first ones to die; people like Ichigo and Naruto should've been paired with people like Rukia or Sakura.

Now before you go spitting fire at me for the NaruSaku pairing, listen; Sakura, while being a fangirl at the beginning, she started to get her shit together and decided to take her career seriously to the end of the first season, which meant that she grew up, while Hinata only got courage right about the end of Shippuden; if it wasn't for Kishimoto worshipping Sasuke's ass, Sakura would have remained with Naruto, and in my opinion, I think they could fit too, think of Sakura as a pink haired, flat chested Kushina and Naruto as Minato, so I like the pairing, and due to her taking things seriously on time, she's redeemed in my eyes, except for the whole Sasuke thing.

Now a thing that I liked on Fanfics is the fact that there are more IchiRuki Fanfics than NaruSaku, due to the fact that Rukia is one of the main protagonists, which shows that her strength increases overall as the Anime and Manga progresses (See Hakka no Togame); Rukia, Renji, Uryuu and Ichigo are of all characters the ones that progressed the most (Ichigo learning his true heritage, Renji now knowing his true Zanpakuto, Rukia achieving Bankai and Uryuu becoming a Sternritter). Orihime on the other hand, just had her Shun Shun Rikka, nothing else. She was always the damsel in distress, and in a world like Bleach, they are easy prey, so in short, she should've just stayed as a human like Tatsuki, or perhaps Tatsuki replacing Orihime and actually her being useful (being a fighter and all).

With that, I rest my case, if I pissed off any of you, then I just have to say that this is my opinion, I had enough of holding it in and I needed to release it.
