    My argument is not that Kubo is good in writing woman, my argument at in the poor state that is shounens Kubo is not worse than his peers. The OPM has a vast cast and has only one strong female character and is a loli tsundere, Kubo is definitely not worse than that.

    I find the formal rank of character in Bleach to be relevant because it was a outlier at the time, in universe the captain/lieutenants are the elite above all other shinigamis and having 35% of the elite been womans are very uncommon in shounens.

    I left Winry out because she is a civilian not a Alchemist/Military, she is a good character and relevant to the plot but she is not in a position of power.

    Compared to the other mangas of the time Bleach had female character in position of power during the entire series. Soi fon and Unohana as captains, Rangiku, Nanao, Momo, Isane, Nemu, Yachiru and Rukia as lieutnants

    Compare to HxH, you have Biscuit the gon master, 3 phantom troupe, Neferpitou and Zazan of the chimera ants.

    Naruto is basically Tsunade, Konan in the Akatsuki, Kurenai became a mother early in the story, Anko doesn’t do much either.

    One Piece is just Big Mom and Boa Hancock, Kalifa on the CP-9, every other female character is not in a big position of power, they are in the same level or below the main cast.

    Jojo barely have any female character of big importance, took part 6 to have Jolyne and Ermes.

    Fairy Tail is Erza, Mirajane, Ultear and later in the story they add the guild master girl and some other female characters in other guilds.

    Soul Eater is probably the one with most female characters because the enemy witches are all female I don’t remember all of them.

    I can’t remember one female character from Katekyo Hitman Reborn.

    Shaman King I can only think of Sati in position of power, the other characters are in the same level of Yoh,

    Full Metal Alchemist have Lust, Edward Master and Olivier.

    I can’t remember more shounens of the early 2000, Bleach of course have a pretty big cast so they have more chances to have female character in positions of power, later in the story they add more female characters in position of power like Halibel and the 2 royal guards. The other long mangas also add new female character like Kaguya in Naruto as the final enemy, but they really lack that kind of thing in the early days. I can’t see Kubo been more misogynist than their peers, his biggest flaw is the sexualization of Yoruichi, Rangiku and Orihime, flaw that other mangas have, like Fairy Tail and Soul Eater.

    The Super Saiyan God Super Saiyan Evolved is completely bullshit, they started giving names to every little fucking thing. They don’t even name that much stuff in the anime. Now every powerup has a name, an incomplete powerup get a name and the mastered powerup also get a name.
