Who didn't get goosebumps at this?!

  Since the closure of Bleach there has been massive amount of feedback in regards to so many things that I could literally discuss each topic as a separate blog post in itself. So I'm going to give you my biggest topic of debate for myself and that is Bleach's Bankai or "Final Releases".
  First, before we go off on a rant, let's define the basics for people who aren't introduced to Bleach but are simply interested in this debate. In the world of Bleach, there are these Gods of death called Shinigami. Our main character discovers one of these because he is attuned to the spiritual world.
  In this world, the gods of death must fight off these demons called Hallows with swords called Zanpakuto, which are weapons that reflect the user's spiritual power as well as themselves. With these swords, there are two stages of release-- The Shikai and the Bankai. It's here I'll debate on.

How is it Chaos Inspiring? Gotta Love Anarchy!

The Rise of the Demon King!

  I've been noticing as of late a certain theme that has been taking the forefront with a lot of shounen as well as other manga, that theme is the Maou or Demon King. Take for instance my other post about dark heroes, a good theme in those protagonists was the idea of them being related or acting like a Demon King.

  In the manga I've mentioned called Black Clover, that was the way the story starts! Even in LN's or in anime you can see character or heroes who are rising to the status of demon kings in their own right or are at least labeled as being one or being related as one.
  What I find interesting about this is the fact that if this was done in a western society then you would get a book banning and have your series burned on the front lawn on masse for having characters that could be considered Heroes who are in a way satan or related to satan.
  Not to say I don't like reading these series, in fact I love them! I like the idea of dark character taking the stage and smashing the system for the true power of the people to rise up.
  But in a way, that anarchy could be said that this chaos is actually dark, that to be free from law and constraints of society is in fact a evil expression of the primacy of the ego. Look at Berserk, a series where Griffith, the antagonist, who becomes a Demon lord through the sacrifice of all of the friends he has ever known, as well as casting his best friend into endless struggle, could in fact be considered the most to pursue his dream of making the world a better place.
  Sure, it sucks that so many have to die in brutal blood agony, but thats the price to be paid to become a king (sarcastically). To fully understand what I'm saying you'll have to read it for yourself and see how Griffith was and is after the satanic rites of the eclipse. But I will say Griffith in Berserk is a shining example of what hope and promise of peace is actually paid in, for all peace and prosperity millions must be trampled and fed to demons. Very symbolic if I do say so myself.
