Bleach Television Tropes

•Buxom Is Better: Bleach would probably be the Most Triumphant Example of this trope, if the Pettanko Rukia hadn't been stated to be pretty.
◦This is also... admittedly one of the reasons why the show is fairly popular in the Yuri fanbase due to the strong potential of Girl On Girl Is Hot (in which even the show itself even occasionally flirted with the concept). However Soi Fon (and to a lesser extent Rukia) is VERY popular in the Yuri fanbase with Yoruichi and is a fine example of how a female character does not have to be a well endowed Ms Fanservice in order to be quite popular with the Yuri fanbase.

•Hands On Approach: Yoruichi giving Soifon some pointers on how to properly use a sword in combat. Odd, considering Yoruichi is never seen using one...

•Leotard Of Power: Yoruichi's latest outfit, in combination with some Zettai Ryouiki.

•Les Yay: Soifon's "admiration" for Yoruichi. She literally stalks Yoruichi in an attempt to see her naked, and in the video games expresses jealousy that Ichigo and Yoruichi had a bath together.

•Tsundere: Soifon is a Les Yay version of this, being cold and efficient at work but going all googly-eyed for her beloved "Yoruichi-sama"
◦To the point where her Zanpakuto actually leaves her because of this during a certain filler arc.

due to the strong potential of Girl On Girl Is Hot

True as it may be I hate it that homosexual relationships get downgraded to "it's hot". I don't mainly ship it cause it's hot but because I like their background, interaction and such. I would also ship it if Soi or Yoruichi would be male.

... and am I the only one who can't get much sense out of those points? (what the hell is Buxom, Les Yay, Zettai Ryouiki)

no ideas

Buxuom is another term for a woman with large breasts, but other than that, I havn't a goddamn clue what the rest of that says. TV Tropes is an incoprehensible labryinth of self-refrences.

Tropes associated with Yoruichi:

Badass Action Girl

Retired Badass: Sorta.

Ambiguously Brown (Don't bring up her ethnicity unless you want a load of Fan Wank, trust us)

Bokukko

Broken Pedestal (For Soifon, sorta)

Cool Big Sis (Towards Ichigo and Soifon, to a degree)

Even The Girls Want Her (Between Soifon and the female fandom...)

Eyes Of Gold

Fallen Princess (Heiress to a powerful clan and Shinigami captain, abandoned everything to run away)

Flash Step (Her extreme speciality)

Les Yay: With Soifon.

Lightning Bruiser: She's not only the "Goddess of Flash", she has enough Super Strength to trounce Yammy Riyalgo, who is known for Super Strength even with his zanpakutou sealed. And we haven't gotten to her Shunkou mastery yet...

Ms Fanservice and Lovable Sex Maniac (She's very nudist, when it comes to human form. And LOVES teasing Ichigo about it)

Naked First Impression (To Ichigo who almost had a stroke upon seeing her human form for the first time...in the nude. Poor Ichigo.)

Ninja

Highly Visible Ninja: Slightly less visible than certain orange-cladded ninja
The Obi Wan (of Soifon)

Satsuki Yukino

Sexy Mentor (Slightly towards Ichigo)

Spoiled Sweet: Was this before running away, telling Soifon to not treat her with any formalities and even resting her head on her lap

Tall Dark And Bishoujo

Token Minority (Well, she is black, but we never know her origins)

Viewer Gender Confusion (Nobody expected that deep-voiced cat to turn into one gorgeous babe)

Waif Fu (according to the databook, she's 156cm (5ft 2in something) and 42kg (92 lb). And BOY she can pack some punch.

Wendee Lee

Zettai Ryouiki (Wears the thigh-high socks plus short bodysuit during her Big Damn Heroes moment in 403.)

Tropes associated with Soifon:

Badass Action Girl Ninja (One of the most action-oriented ladies in Bleach)

Awesome But Impractical (Her opinion on her Bankai. It's too big and unweildey for an assasin, and the explosion is so large it's hard for her not to get caught up in it. She also tries not to use it more than once every three days because of the strain it puts on her.)

BFG (Her bankai is a goddamn bazooka! missile-launcher!)
Bodyguard Crush (For Yoruichi)

The Captain

Clingy Jealous Girl: Speculated to be the reasoning behind asking Hachi to imprison Urahara for a month in exchange for her help.

Covert Pervert (A literal example, being she is a Ninja.)

Deus Ex Nukina: Subverted, twice. She shoots two missiles at Baraggan. The first one he survives because he blows it up at range, the second one he survives because it simply wasn't enough to kill him.

Fan Nickname (Captain Bitchninja, for her Tsundere-ness)
Banzooka: Her bankai.

Handicapped Badass (When Baraggan's power pretty much trashed her arm, she had Omaeda cut it off)

I Am Not Left Handed: Has a Friggin' Missile Launcher for her Bankai. "Too large to conceal, too heavy to move, and its attack, is too flashy, for assassination." BOOM

Jerkass Facade (...is an Ice Queen bitch to her subordinates to keep them always alert)

Karen Strassman

Kick The Dog: Like Byakuya, she had quite a few dick moves in the Soul Society arc, to the point she occasionally bordered on sadism.

Lightning Bruiser (Her main strength is her blinding speed, but a person who can kill with two attacks isn't exactly fragile. Factor in her Shunkou technique...)

Never Got To Say Goodbye (To Yoruichi, when she became a Fallen Princess. And boy, is she upset because of that)

Pettanko (According to sources, she surprisingly has SMALL ones)

Running Gag (Obsession with either Yoruichi, or black cats)

Single Target Sexuality: "Oh Yoruichi-sama!"

Small Girl Big Gun (In bankai mode only.)

Spell My Name With An S (Her name was first translated to be Soi Fong, which sounded Chinese since she looks Chinese.)

The Other Darrin (Her default seiyuu is Tomoko Kawakami. But she's currently taking a sick leave, so she's now voiced by Houko Kuwashima)

Touch Of Death (Suzumebachi's speciality)

Tsundere (Les Yay, Type A (more tsuntsun) version: she may be hard and cold, but is Yoruichi's nº1 fangirl)

Do I need english as my mother tongue to understand a few of those terms?

I'm more confused than anything else, when I read Les Yay, Wendee Lee and such

Wendee Lee is jsut her voice actress in American dub.

And Les Yay, Les is from Lesbian, and yay is ... well, simply "yay" in English. I don't know how to explain it better.

I'm a native speaker and I'm still confused. TV Tropes is a labyrinth of self-references. The only way to truly understand it is if you were there from he beginning.

On top of that, it's a wiki, so fans can edit it.

If you read it every day, you won't have problems. I even adopted some slang from it.

I don't read it everyday and haven't read it form the beginning and I understand it fine. I could waste hours of my life trawling through TvTropes, which is why I usually avoid the place.

Not that I don't understand your everyday english but some terms just want to make my head explode - thats most probably why I avoid the place

This may be a bit late, but no one answered Azley's question for Zettai Ryouiki. It's the exposed skin between a skirt and stockings, which is Yoruichi's new costume. I've clearly spent too much time on TvTropes...
