THREAD: CHAD (Becoming a Professional Boxer)

"He came out of nowhere"

No guys, it didn't come out of nowhere, in fact, this seems to have been coldly calculated by Kubo, remember the first chapters, when Orihime imagined having a date with Ichigo in which they both ran

in a race and she ended up victorious? Take a look at her t-shirt, you can read that under TYRANO Inoue, it says "ゴンザレス・ジム" in katakana, which in romaji would be "Gonzarezu Jim" Or "Gonzalez Gym".

Now, much later, in volume 53, Kubo added updated information on each character, things like height, weight, and... affiliation, we know that Orihime works on "ABCookies". For Chad's affiliation, it's stablished as Gonzalez Gym so we know he works there.

We can also see an image of him as a boxer in this chapter https://bleachmangaonline.com/manga/bleach-chapter-363/ although it does not mean that he was affiliated to boxing at that time, it shows that Kubo did not think it was a bad idea

besides, he is also mentioned in the novel "The death saves the strawberry":

"Sado began to learn boxing. The reason for this is because he critically reviewed his skills after the war and thought they were not as strong as those of those who had trained before like Ichigo, Uryuu and the shinigamis, so he wanted to start over from the beginning"

"Chad promised his grandfather never to use his fists for anything other than fighting to protect.

I leave you the translation of what Chad said in the image below "決めてるんだ 俺は 自分のために拳は振るわない アブウェロとの約束 だ" I leave you the translation of what Chad said

in the image below "決めてるんだ 俺は 自分のために拳は振るわない アブウェロとの約束 だ" "I am determined I will not use my fists in a bad way for my own well being I promised my grandfather"

Chad never mentioned anything about "financial benefits" because it bothers people so much that he became a professional boxer? It's not like he uses his fists to vent his anger on people, Chad is not like that, I think it's more than obvious that like any 27 year old Japanese

boy he needs to live on something.
