Riding on the wave of AbridgeMENT parodies launched by Purpleeyes, ThroneOfCiper
brings a delightfully insane abridged-excuse us, AbridgeMENT-version of Bleach. It's definitely one of the contenders for most bizarre abridged series out there. And as you read the page, remember that It Makes Sense in Context... Or LESS sense in context.
Also of note is the fact that Throneofcipher and Omnibeneficial both work on Supernatural: The Animation Abridged with xxbubblemunkyx.
Bleach MENT contains examples of:
- Artistic License – Physics: Kon in Ichigo's body jumps three stories. Lampshaded soon after.Kon: My favorite class is physics because I can defy it!Tatsuki: This guy just defied Newton's law of gravity, let's kick his ass!Kon: I just jumped three stories without Nikes on, FUCK YOU!!
