Bleach/Awesome Music

• Speaking of theme songs, Bleach's Ichirin no Hana, debuting with a broadcast special consisting of 2 awesome episodes, also falls squarely here.
  • Its remix in the album manages to be somewhat more violent.
  • Number One.
  • TONIGHT, TONIGHT, TONIGHT, the opening of the Bount arc, was also pretty badass.
  • The Image Songs. No Exception.
  • Can anyone say Breakthrough Even?
    • And now that the Third OST is out... there's HOLLOWED, which is just Breakthrough Even minus the orchestral instruments, somehow making it more Badass. Let's not forget all of those awesome Spanish themes either.
    • Nube Negra. It can officially be said the Arrancar's got one of the coolest entrance themes ever.
    • Actually this trooper thinks that Invasion has same spirit as Breakthrough but is plain more kickass.
  • We can't forget about the 5th Opening song, Rolling star ^{[dead link]} , now can we?
  • After Dark ^{[dead link]} by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION was Bleach's 7th Opening. It is also one of my favorite openings, alongside Velonica by Aqua Timez for Opening 9.
  • The BGMs Attack on the Beat and Back to the Wall add a healthy dose of epic to any fight.
  • "D-tecnoLife" was an excellent introduction to the second season.
  • "* Asterisk" by ORANGE RANGE. The OP for the first season of the show. Also, "Houkiboshi" by Younha, the third ED.
    • "* Asterisk" went to top of the charts the second it was released in 2005, and stayed there for 22 weeks. Now if that doesn't say something about how awesome that song is, nothing will.
  • This troper would like to take a minute to nominate Hitohira no Hanabira for the greatest anime ED of all time.
  • This Troper would like to nominate the latest opening theme, Shoujo S.
    • Come for the awesome music, stay for Rukia and Orihime's sexy dance!
  • And this troper believes that What can you see in their eyes from the third movie is pretty awesome too.
  • This song is a sort of Canon Immigrant. Treachery was both used in the second movie OST and as a Theme Music Power-Up for Nnoitra's One-Winged Angel. It catches the attention for being an Surprisingly Good Ominous English Chanting.
  • Can't Back Down
  • Power to Strive, which plays when Grimmjow finally releases Pantera is just awesome.
  • B13a, which plays in the one-sided battle scene between Hisagi and Fraccion Findor in ep 219.
  • this track sounds great (one from 0:05 to 1:18), yet it's not on any of OSTs.
  • The fifth ED song, YUI's "LIFE". I CAN CHANGE MY LIFE~
  • Domino Del Chad and Quincy's Craft. The latter is pretty nerdy, but still qualifies since it's Ishida's fight song.
  • The 13th OP, Ranbu no Melody by SID.
  • Irish Dance, Ukitake and Shun-Sui's theme when they use Shikai in Fade to Black
  • Then we have one of the very first OSTs Soundscape to Ardor. There is no way you cannot be reminded of a very heartwarming event.
• Escalon. Just...Escalon... Is it possible to watch this and not be reminded of Shinji's fight with Grimmjow?
• Everything from the Bleach musicals. Seriously, if we list off everything, we'll be here all week.
• Kubo chooses theme songs for most of the important characters.
  • Ichigo - News From the Front by Bad Religion, Chad - No Song Unheard by The Hellacopters, Isshin - Don't Drag Me Down by Social Distortion, Ulquiorra - Moonshield by In Flames, Grimmjow - Step Inside by A Bombs, and Kyoraku - Por Una Cabeza by Carlos Gardel to name a few.
• Somehow the first ending theme, "Life is Like a Boat" didn't get mentioned. It's just beautifully sad-sounding, but ultimately still hopeful.
• Don't know the name, but this from the 3rd movie.
• Destiny Awaits was surprisingly not on here.
  • Bankai. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi.
• No Precipe of Defeat either.
• Here's a good one Stand Up Be Strong from the third movie both part I and II.
  • It's most iconic use so far is Ichigo unveiling the Final Getsuga Tenshou in his fight against Aizen.
• Ending theme for Bleach: Fade to Black -movie, Porno Graffiti - Koyoi, Tsuki ga, Miezu Tomo
• No one has mentioned Number One's Else? Epic much.
  • Don't forget Senna's Theme from the First Movie. Or Choked.
    • Senna's theme, by the way, is derived from a violin adaptation of a portion of Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D Minor (1:12 to 1:24).
  • The Ending Theme for "Memories Of Nobody", Sen no Yoru wo Koete, is really very beautiful and a definite Award Bait Song.
• Number One, with more cowbell.
• Never Meant To Belong is extremely heartwrenching in a beautiful way. It has just enough of a hopeful feel to not feel cheesy, while the well-orchestrated instruments make this one a winner.
• Even though I disliked Bount Arc I did like this theme.
• The whole FREAKING soundtrack of the fourth movie "Hell Verse". Shiro Sagisu has seriously managed to top MANY songs from the other Bleach OSTs in sheer awesomeness. Most of the songs contain Ominous English Chanting of epic proportions. After listening some might accuse him of recycling some old songs from earlier Bleach seasons, but This troper was still simply blown away by the OST. It's like the old songs took MANY levels in pure epicness.
  • "Cometh the hour (Part A_Opus1)". Wow, just... wow...
  • "Snakes of Despair". If you ever wanted to know how you can make a BOUNT song sound even more epic, just listen. I dare you...
  • "SD2_103". For those who need some cool guitar riffs.
  • "BL57_Sakkaku". This song is just way too awesome to not deserve an actual title.
    • Sakkaku means optical illusion so it kinda does have a title.
  • Also "BL106 Sakkaku" A Dark Reprise of Precipice of Defeat
  • "4BLM_101_Chokkaku". Yet another version of "Number One". A hard-rock version you can headbang to. It goes without saying that this track is the distillation of pure awesomeness
  • Save The One, Save The All sounds Even More Badass than many other T.M.Revolution singles!
• Nothing Can Be Explained. That is all.
• The 14th opening BLUE just awesome.
  • The episodes this was the intro for were the only times I watched the entire intro and credits. It was amazing and it instantly became my favorite Bleach opening song.
• And here's the 15th opening HARUKAZE by SCANDAL.
• This troper is convinced that between Ichirin no Hana, ALONES ^{[dead link]} , Velonica and chAnge all the best Bleach openings are Multiples of three.
• "Storm Center"makes any fight scene about ten times better.
• This troper would be happy to listen to Bleach's soundtrack rather than the actual episodes with things as brilliantly catchy as 'Get Smart'.
• This troper nominates Clavar la Espada. Catchy with a Spanish theme, what more could you ask for?
• The epic Pleasure of Combat also qualifies.
• La Distancia Para Un Duelo.
• Orange.
• Emergence of the haunted.
• This troper thinks that Endings 10, 13, and 27 Sakura Biyori, Tane wo Maku Hibi, and Aoi Tori are simply gorgeous.
• Ending 25 Last Moment and Ending 28 Haruka Kanata are just straight up Badass.
