I hope he has adequately reflected on the disaster that was Bleach’s final years. Because he stubbornly refused to wrap up on a high note, like Naruto did and One Piece will, he became drag on the success of the magazine. He needs too check his ego and maybe get some help with story composition.

You're wrong. He didn't refuse to wrap up on a high note; he wanted more time to finish the last arc in a climactic way (whatever that meant for Kubo), but WSJ editors told that he had to wrap it up in only 5 chapters, and the rest is history. Even if Bleach had its storytelling problems throughout its run, that horrible ending wasn't entirely Kubo's fault.

The other day I was thinking that now that the Black Clover anime is dangerously close to catching up with the manga (I calculate that by March it will reach the last chapter before spoiler[the 6-month timeskip]), it would be a good idea for TV Tokyo and Studio Pierrot to replace it with a new Bleach series for a year instead of having the staff produce a long string of filler episodes. That way, Black Clover could come back next year and pick up right from where it left off, having accumulated enough manga chapters for two or three cours.

I think you are definitely onto something there, I was thinking the same thing.

It was one of the thing I heard that he was under editorial pressure during that final arc and would butt heads with them. Not saying he is absolved, because he was seen as rehashing the same theme for a third time, but being in that situation couldn't have helped either

I kind of have my doubts about Black Clover going on any hiatus, the show has been getting really popular despite the initial hate when it came out, and if they really wanted to avoid filler arcs they would have went the My hero academia route and just do seasonal breaks all the time. but hey I hope I'm wrong

And Kubo was sick while doing this as what was confirmed.

I'm personally rooting for Kubo on writing/art for a Saint Seiya spin-off. Bleach already had heavy Saint Seiya influence, let the guy dip his toes in the inspiration itself. He'd do some crazy stuff with the Gold Saints, no doubt.
