Why is Bleach so short lived?

I thought its gonna be as long as One Piece and Naruto due to the huge ass normie following (like every car wraps i see back then was always Bleach, not even One Piece was that big) then it just... died.

Perhaps the decade long break had something to do with it? Naruto and One Piece have a constant anime and manga running to keep people engaged.

It never really should have ran on for so long in the first place.

It was big in America, not so big in Japan where the stuff is made. It was still pretty big, but not nearly as much of a cultural phenomenon.

Do you seriously, honestly rate longevity and popularity by what US normalfag weebs and mexicans were lame enough to publicly display?

It only lasted as long as it did by continuously introducing new characters and having them describe their powers. Obviously that shtick was going to get old very quickly.

Bleach has achieved more than 95% of the series in the industry.

shit worldbuilding, shit characterisation with characters sticking around only because of popularity, only to job repeatedly to make ichigo look special(who was only ever special because of his birth by the way).

Also inspired most of the current gen mangaka.
