because Aizen is watching and we'd rather not give him any amusement of having him see Ichigo piss drunk
 
[X] A dumpling street stand.

I'm curious where this goes, more than anything.

Gin is still, in my books, one of the better Bleach Characters.
It is, to be fair, a fairly short list.
 
[X] A bar. Bars have alcohol.

Bar may mean Rangiku,Kyoraku, but also Shuei, Madarame,Kira and the vicecaptain with sunglasses whose name I can't remember for the life of me.

The cafe is probably Sasakibe, dude who is so memorable that we didn't see his powers in the fake Karakura town because Kubo himself forgot about his existance

The dumpling may be Rukia which for me is a no.

Or maybe we don't meet anyone from the main cast and in which case I am all for drunken sheningans

Nah; He's perfectly fine to be around. Just, you know. Don't give him a reason to seriously want to hurt you.

Dude waited literally a century just for a shot at killing the last person to do that.

I see your zanpakuto's a centimeter smaller than it used to be.

Progress! A miniscule amount of progress, but still.

That's a more than fair trade for tips on controlling your spiritual power from someone who doubtless has large reserves of their own.

"If you want ta get that sword down to a manageable level, maybe try pulling in some of that excess spirit energy you're shedding all over the place, Ichigo!"

And he just gave him the same useless advice everyone has been giving him. Of course he did.

Gods Zangetsu is acting like a freaking toddler.

Somehow I imagine he's too sleep-deprived to have even had the energy to hear that Ichigo is a Shiba now. Someone please let the 4 division get some sleep.

He has the same problem Ichigo had in canon, just this time he's willing to put the effort in to solve it.

TPK said:
The soul reaper-in-training turns to face you. Her brow is wrinkled and her eyes set in determination. "Ichigo, then. There's more to becoming a soul reaper than skill alone. You need to prove to your prospective officers that you can work effectively on a team. In that way, taking part in a traditional celebration between colleagues contributes to your goals as well."

That sounds like a load of bullshit reasoning after the fact just to drag her friend out for drinks. I approve.

[X] A quiet cafe with privacy.

I like cafes! It's lowkey and Ichigo can relax and not make a big deal about it.

Of course, if previews reveal cafe means meeting the Teaboo Lieutenant I'll swap over to dumpling stand. (Why would you fetishise British culture? I'm actually English, I know it's terrible and worthless)

Am I reading too deeply into this or did Ichigo just get asked out on a date?

No he got dragged out for a celebratory booze up since that's what you're supposed to do in these occasions.

You guys forgot Ichigo just said he doesn't want to spend too much money on this outing. And his sensibility is that of a modern-era 14 year old, so of course getting drunk is out of question for him. Unless he's the designated 'driver' in this instance, then that's alright I guess.

And? You don't think they're not going to go to the cheapest bar or cafe available?

I'm not voting for Ichigo to get drunk.

...........He's getting drunk regardless, the whole point is going someplace that serves alcohol to academy students (which is all three places)
 
I've thought about it, and while I'm not going to index them in threadmarks, and there's no stat system to encourage rewards, I will index omake or other non author submissions.

In that case, there is one double omake that I know of (it is two omake in one post) :

FuzziPeach said:
A set of short omakes illustrating my earlier point:


@TPK don't know how you handle omakes so I'm just tagging you

Omake 1: Delinquent once more:

"K-Kurosaki?", A timid voice called into the history classroom as Ichigo sat and took notes.

"Yes?", The orange haired rookie asked as he looked up to see a waif of a girl quivering in terror as she looked towards him.

"T-the h-h-headmaster would like to see you in his office"

Ichigo sighed , already having a good idea what this was about. "Alright let me just pack up" he acquiesced putting away his possessions. As he slung his carry bag over his shoulder and grabbed his massive meat cleaver of a sword he nearly missed the squeek of terror from the messenger.

Walking behind the quietly praying girl on the way to the headmaster's office he once more felt irritation over how things had changed ever since he had started walking around with an released Zangetsu. It seemed that everyone was either afraid of him or wanted to pick a fight. It was like mortal highschool all over again.

Reaching the labeled doors of the headmaster, his guide walked in and introduced him.

"Ichigo Kurosaki sir", she stated before being dismissed by a nod from the old man behind the desk and scurrying away.

"Please," the man said, "take a seat."

Ichigo stepped forward and noted how the man eyes never left Zangetsu until he leaned it against the wall and stepped away from it to take a seat.

"Now," the man said as Ichigo made himself comfortable. "Do you know why I've called you today?"

"The fights?" Ichigo half asked feeling he already knew the answer.

"Not just the fights," the headmaster clarified, "I'd like to know why you're intimidating my students?"

"What!?" Ichigo exclaimed, "I'm not doing anything. It's always the others taking the first swing!"

The headmaster just stayed silent looking pointedly at Zangetsu as if that was supposed to explain things.

"My zanpaktou? Everyone carries theirs."

"Yes but the issue here is that yours is constantly in Shikai." He explained calmly.

"We of course he is. He's really prideful and lieutenant Yachiru said that prideful swords express themselves."

The headmaster sighed the sigh of a lifetime teacher before pulling himself into the pose that Ichigo knew indicated a forthcoming lecture.

"Kurosaki, nearly all zanpaktou are prideful but you don't see the seated officers or captains walking around with theirs in constant Shikai form. It's one thing to walk around with your sword displaying its individuality whilst sealed but it's another thing entirely to leave it released, even if you do have the reserves for it. To have a released blade is to declare that you're ready for a fight or expecting one. From what I understand of modern society it's the same as walking around with a gun in hand with the safety off instead of having it in your holster. Even if you don't intend to shoot anyone you're still gonna intimidate them."

"Ahh. Well in that case I'll get to keeping it unreleased." Ichigo said abashedly, making to get up.

"Not just yet young man. We still need to discuss your punishment for getting into four fights and sending 7 upperclassmen to the fourth division.

Ichigo just hung his head and mutely sat back down.


Omake 2: Sneaky as a Zaraki Kenpachi

Ichigo kept trying to keep a straight face as he walked into Kukaku's house. He couldn't wait to see the look on cousin's face when he finally revealed his-

"Oh so you achieved Shikai huh?"

Ichigo tripped and fell as his surprise was ruined."How did you know!?" He asked getting back up from his faceplant. "I haven't told anyone yet"

Ikkaku snorted at that. " Oh please. Achieving shikai or bankai creates a shift in your soul as you come to terms with a part of it and with how terrible your control is and how much you leak it's near impossible to miss."

"Dammit, so everyone probably already knows?" Ichigo asked, slightly put off to find out that his secrecy had been in vain.

"Not everybody," Kukaku clarified bringing up her relatives spirits before dashing them once more, "but your instructors, and any captains or lieutenants you've met probably know. Maybe even some of the lower seated officers as well."

Ichigo just silently sat in a corner as a raincloud developed over him.

Well, if you want to reward Omakes, maybe give Ichigo an insight on something. Like something finally clicks in his mind about something. Maybe how to control his Reiatsu, or how Noble Politics work, or maybe just how his one friend acts, thus giving him a chance to get a better friendship with her

Eh, but then they'd have to be worth rewarding like that.

Nope, not necessarily. They're going somewhere that serves alcohol because it's traditional to have a toast, but they don't have to drink beyond that.

Do we have Ichigo's aclohol tolerance via canon material or was that never touched upon even in the omakes at the end of each episode?
