Thanks for sharing the translation of the interview, SandLeaf!
I guess this point pretty much confirms that the ending happened that way because of his health issues.
Also, it seems like Jump and the editors never negatively interfered on his work. In truth, it looks like they tried to make everything possible to avoid a Yu Yu Hakusho kind of ending (as Kaizou 10 pointed above).
I'm happy to see that Kubo really was a fan of Saint Seiya. I can see how it inspired him a lot on Bleach.
>Back to bleach. It was running for 15 years but Kubo never felt pressured or anything as he had more or decided on how things would go. He'd be planning for the next week while writing the current week's chapter, so that's how he kept things moving. Kubo is one who is very precise with how he spends his time, so he would have a strict schedule, one he kept until his health declined. He's the type of person who would do their summer homework at the start of vacation to get it out of the way.
