Down to it, there is no other excuse other than allowing the heroes to win in a sold out battle, just because the politically correct cliche dictates a happy ending for the side of the established shape of morality.
Did you knew of propaganda in cartoons during the WW2? Youtube is full of idelistic crap of that time. Look what blunt propaganda were feeding to the poor children back then

By the way, this is not off topic. Willpower is practically Japanese propaganda for having children to keep fighting (working in the real world) no matter the odds (no matter how much their work and lifestyle sucks). |
Well, Bleach is a pretty extreme example, but I do agree that most shounen anime are like that.
I'd have to disagree with you about the "excuse", though. It also has a lot to do with the mood of the story. People don't watch Bleach to watch realistic fights, they watch Bleach to watch the main character win against near-impossible odds. Having it be realistic, even at the end, would actually be worse for the anime, since it wouldn't fit the mood. And the main character probably would've died quickly, making for bad entertainment.
Personally, as long as a series keeps the concept 'too much of a good thing' in mind, I don't mind this idealistic mood in my anime.
lol, itt ppl debating which ideology is better by the criteria in their ideology.
