Why is Bleach Called Bleach?

Here's a quote from Kubo, the author of Bleach:
The title wasn't Bleach when Tite Kubo decided to draw a story about Shinigami. This was before he drew the one-shot manga that appeared in Akamaru Jump. The weapon wasn't a sword, but a scythe. Only Rukia had a scythe and the other characters used guns. At that point, the title was Snipe (as in "Sniper"). Right before he started drawing, he began to think that a sword would be better and realized he couldn't use Snipe as a title anymore. He began looking for a title that grasped the bigger picture. Shinigami are associated with the color black, but it would have been boring to use "black". "White", on the other hand, can suggest black as a complementary color. So Tite Kubo chose "Bleach" to evoke the impression of the color white.
Also, it can signify cleansing souls.

I thought it was to refer to Ichigo's hair color, but that could be fan talk.
Whatever the reason is, I think its a good title for the series.

It's the cause for many rumors but it's simple. I don't have anything against the title but it could use an elegant title

Hrmmm, how about Courageous Soul for a title instead of Bleach?
Demon_skeith said:
Oh my God..... Come on... That's hilarious. I would rather see shinnigami as the title.
Tamashi no Yuki... Doesn't sound bad though...@TechnicalSuwako is that how it is translated suwako Chan?

That Kubo, what do you expect? : D The guy looks up random words in a dictionary that sound cool and uses them in his story. It is pretty amazing with how much he was able to get away with =)
