Bleach is a pillar of the Big Three with a completed manga and a final anime that expands the canon under the author's supervision. The forensic culture here is a records family waiting to happen: zanpakuto and bankai taxonomy, Gotei 13 records and division history, canon arc ordering, and the world systems of Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the living world. The canon sheet runs this shelf: unmarked quizzes are manga canon inside the anime horizon, the Thousand-Year Blood War additions are declared where they matter, and the original anime's filler arcs are excluded from plot quizzes entirely, appearing only where the Canon or Filler label makes identifying them the game. Nothing on this shelf pretends the Bount arc was in the manga.
The front door of the Bleach shelf: a substitute Soul Reaper with a borrowed blade, thirteen Court Guard Squads, and a soul cycle that has rules for a reason. Ten questions on the premise and the series' stated mechanics: who these people are, what a Zanpakuto is, and what happens to a soul when a Soul Reaper does the job properly. Premise-level by design, the way a front door should be.
