BAMBIETTA BASTERBINE - Bleach Character ANALYSIS | The Explosive Personality 

What did you think of Bambietta Basterbine? How did you feel about her zombification? Let me know!

Me after watching Bambietta give Shinji a big fat L *Look at how they massacred my boy*

Maybe Bambi was a used as an analogy where Bambi was Kubo and Giselle was Shonen Jump...

I always found it weird that the Sternritters lacked a sense of brotherhood or comradery given that they are this army unified by heritage and pride. Also they've seemingly been together for a very long time so you would think they'd have deeper bonds. Also I completely didn't remember that stuff with Bambi luring men into her quarters and killing them...what the heck lol. Good video as always

I really didn't like how the quincies ended up being just another group of sociopaths, I mean you'd think they'd act more like a tight mafia family based on how they've been genocided but they don't even flinch at Giselle turning one of their own into some kind of zombie sex doll. Oof! Even Nnoitra showed concern for his underling right before Kenpachi cut him down.

Giselle doesn’t love Bambietta, she loves having control over Bambietta and her strength. She takes joy in knowing she has complete control over her.

The Dream girl you wanna be with. Although her character was cruel I believe it was also very COOL and INTERESTING character. The "Rivalry" between her and Komamura was well setup as Komamura wanting to avenge Yama-jii and Bambietta carrying on the duties while being cruel.

I was secretly hopping that Mayuri would break the control on Bambietta and let her be the one who finishes Giselle ending her own torment as a zombie and the one who did that to her. It would have been nice if this was done by blowing up half of Giselle's body as a call back to Mayuri's first fight. BTW, I don't hate Giselle, I just think it would have been fitting.

I like Bambi. It sucks when Kubo throws away a character because there's always so much potential in them.

"When that reishi goes into something, it turns into a bomb." Kira Yoshikage: *"Could this woman be one of "my people"?"*

Wasn’t Bambi nerfed due to Zombie (lack of sudden/fast reflexes) Because it was revealed when she turned Toshiro into a zombie he had so much better speed, reflex and strength because he wasn’t completely dead but on the verge of it. Edit: you did bring it up at the end I’m sorry.

Dude, I listen to your content while level grinding on video games. You got me re-watching and re-reading Bleach again. Keep going, love your stuff :)

I don't know what it was about Bambietta that drew me to her as a character. The design and voice actor helped, sure. But I watched that Shinji fight scene about 1,000 times and have since been watching Bleach religiously. I think the interesting part of Bambi's character and this goes for a lot of the Sternritter is that they're without a doubt a product of their environments. Most of them are being who they have to be, instead of who they might have wanted to be. I think Bambi specifically wanted to be someone with friends she could rely on, but had no idea that her bloodthirsty sadistic streak was keeping them at arms length the whole time. How could any of them get close enough to truly have her back when there's always this tension that she could kill them at any time? Her strength and behavior worked against her so hard and I doubt she would've been that way without her upbringing in the Vandenreich. Imagine her as a Shinigami instead, she would've probably been a perfect fit in the 11th division. Anyway, she's best girl for me fosho and I've gotten over the horrific things Kubo did to her. And without a doubt, I could DEFINITELY fix her.

I can listen to your bleach videos on the thousand year war blood war arc for hours, i swear. Awesome channel

She sure fell hard. Went from being a kill hungry blood knight and near serial killer(regarding her 'relief') to a PTSD riddled zombie totally submissive towards Giselle. It's interesting her story is one of the few times wherein PTSD is explicitly implied in series(unless I'm missing some others, please correct me). Given most of the combat involves gory slashing/stabbing up close and personal with an opponent you'd think it'd be addressed more than the subtle implications.

Still remember your gf saying Bambietta looked like a busty Rukia haha

Your Character Analysis are always so great and detailed, really helps me understand the characters more 🙏🙏

Bambi was Kubo's ex gf that dumped him for Akira Toriyama.

hated the fact he had to use his human form give up his sanity to beat her...just for her to come back and get wreaked by weaklings anyways

Yes just got home from work and you drop this video, thanks man keep up the great videos man i love your content.

Really enjoying your content man. Just got this playing while i'm rolling a joint lol.

I always thought that the lack of caring within the Sternritter was used to juxtapose them to the Gotei. The Gotei were brought together to form a stable base on which to maintain the Status Quo; so the focus is on stability, allegiance and loyalty. The Wandenreich was created purely as a vehicle to get Ywach to the Soul King; so the focus is purely on individual power and the ability to create chaos. Yamamoto deliberately fostered bonding and cooperation between the Squads, where Ywach deliberately fostered competition and antagonism between the Sternritter. And as sad as it was, I think the Zombie strength reduction was necessary to give a reason for Ywach not just murdering all of the Sternritter and feeding them to Giselle to create an immortal, unquestioning army. Which he absolutely would have done if being Zombified didn't come with a serious strength reduction. That and to set up just how fucked up Giselle actually is; for the start of Mayuri's big character development arc.

thought she was cute until she splits her subordinate in half . Oh boy . I was wrong .

I love your videos bro! I read the manga but it’s been so long that I need your videos to jog my memory!

I really enjoy your content man! Keep up the good work! You explain and dissect almost perfectly, each subject you talk about in great depth and detail. I really like how you explain character info the way you do. Thank you!!

Another fantastic video! 👏🏻 so stoked for the next one ✨

Actually my favorite of the Bambies. She was a sadist and a tyrant, but she had some kind of personality. The fact i didn't like about her is the thing that she was cut too early from the show, and than returned as Gissele's slave. Do not see a problem with her as a slave, it was a nice way of Gissele's revenge. I do not like she spent more time as a slave than as a Bambietta. I also dislike her "fight" with Shinji, Hirako deserved more. Everything else is great about her. And she is in top half of Sternritters by strength.

Keep up the great work king. Bambi v Komamura is definetly gonna be a top 5 fight from the arc when animted imo

Hey man watching video after video problem over 24 hours in the last week easily jus listening and watching your videos alot of great content thanks.

The final arc was so messy '-' So many "nani!?!?" moments

It's nice to see the character get her due in one of your videos. Though that miserable fate of hers pisses me off to this day.

I always look foward to your uploads man.

Love your videos and passion as knowledge for and about Bleach. Really helps to kill the wait till the anime returns. Feels really fresh!

Personally, she is my favorite Sternritter, her power wasn't complex, but it was cool and strong, her appearence is fine (waifu worthy), her personality was fine, and having her own personal group made her seem like a more interesting character, the problem with Bambietta (for me atleast) was that her fight with Komamura was at the start of the arc, then after that she passed from one of the Quincies with the biggest spotlight to a zombie, if this happened differently, like Gisselle having more of a spotlight, while Bambi is like a subordinate to her and once she loses she is zombiefied, it would've made a lot more sense to me, but having her established, giving her a good win against someone as strong as Shinji and then dissapearing as a character... It wasn't good, personally, I always thought that she looked more like the classical villain-turns-into-ally kind of character, like Grimmjow, Renji or even Bazz-B to some degree, the worst part is that even her fight with Komamura feels less important once you realize that Komamura also dissapears forever as a character after the battle, so these felt like two characters who Kubo thought he wouldn't need for the rest of the arc, so he had to dispose of them both.

i always felt like the bomb ability fits Bambietta because she's a hothead with a short fuse

Native speaker here, great job pronouncing "auswählen"! 😃 I've been binge watching your videos lately & I can't wait for your subcount to surpass mine. You sound so enthusiastic when you talk about Bleach, it's simply a pleasure to watch your videos. Please keep up the good work. Best of luck from Austria! ✌️

I’m praying you do one on unohana NO ONE has even touched that and I’m so so surprised by that

I was never really a big fan of Bambietta but I found her powers to be cool

Hey mrtommo! Wondering what you thought on orihime's powers, wether she falls into the fullbringer category as it was never stated how she was able to manifest the characters she could use which was shown in the original arc and then never shown after. Was her fairy companions still there when using abilities etc

She's so beautiful

One of my favorites actually in terms of design and ability. I feel like she really was one of the most powerful ones, she was just very unlucky for having to go against Komamura. *shrug*

Canonically, Bambi was drastically nerfed because she was dead. Quincies cant be taken over until they are killed first. Toshiro was still alive so he retained his power level. Im just shocked in general with the treatment because she seemed to be one of the most powerful sternritters. I assumed at first that the first few were the best of the quincies so when Ywach arrived in the soul king palace I was shocked to see the elite guattñrds he had, cuz I assumed thar they were all taken out minus Uryuu and Haschwalth

great video. I never read this arc, but I love your videos. this character has a Tanya vibe for me, also she is cute and it is a shame she died like that :/ her style looks nice :)

Where does he get this fully colored version of the manga?

I remember being super disappointed in the direction her character went. At first I wasn’t to invested in her character, but after her conversation with the other qincy girls I became a lot more interested. As you said Bambiettas concern about the Vandenreichs direction could have been really interesting and I remember thinking that maybe Bambietta together with her crew would try to claim the throne for herself and fight either uryu or haschwalth later in the arc, or maybe actually back haschwalth and try putting hin on the throne instead of uruy. But instead the next time we see her she loses to Komamura, and gets zombified. That scene also sums up my biggest problem with the Sternritter, that there is no comradery and they just keep backstabbing each other.

Wish Kubo had turned any of the other bambies into a zombie punching bag instead of Bambietta

I actually really liked Bambietta, I haven't read into the TYBW arc myself, but seeing her be treated like that really just hit me weird.

Tommo we need that second CFYOW novel summary!

On the damage the Arrancarr did: Remember; Hollows are like Poison to Quincy. So they probobly take a lot more damage from Ceros and such than a Shinigami would.

I think it's sad that Bambietta ended up as Giselle's slave, Giselle is definitely a dictator when it comes to the zombies that are under her control (except maybe when it comes to Toshiro, i don't know if it's because of a lack of disappointment or not), in Bambietta's case Giselle gives her a hard time to prove her power over Bambietta, which I think is exactly why Bambietta was so afraid of becoming a zombie in the first place, but despite the abuse and superiority Giselle is in love with Bambietta, but also wants to keep her under her control, like a waifu without free will, I really wish that someone had freed Bambietta from that abusive dictatorship, or at least make a filler episode giving her a backstory of some kind (what i'd make Bambietta's backstory: imagine Bambietta growing up and living a normal life (Quincys are humans after all), eventually Bambietta falls in love with some rando boy, but then one day suffers abuse from his' side and they break up (giving her a fear of being controlled and a habit of backstabbing guys), she'd then only ever put her trust in her friends, eventually she'd meet Yhwach and learn about her powers, dedicating herself to being a Sternritter so that no one would ever have control over her ever again)

There is logic behind Charlotte Chuhlhourne able to beat bambietta surprisingly well. Remember hollows are like poison to Quincys must have caused her reiatsu to deplete.

Where can I find colored scans? I wouldn’t mind rereading the TYBW in color

I fucking love her character. Bambietta basterbine.

what kubo did to bambietta is a crime ☹️🥺

Thanks for the great vid. What would you say about disscusing a scenerio in which Aizen agreed to join Yhwach when they met in Muken? There are some interesting ideas worth discussing, naming a few: - Would Yhwach free Azien completely (all of his seals) or keep him restrained to some degree fearing his powers? - How would their dynamic be like? Just constant exchanges of false flattery, Aizen openly addmiting to Yhwach about his plans to betray him latter on, or something else entirely? (When we got their interacion at the end of the series it was captivating but sill pretty straight forward since they were just about to fight). - How would Yhwach try to utilise Aizen? What would he have him do? Does Yhwach even know about Hogyoku? - How would Aizen's interactions with all the Sternritters look like? Big room for some great banter and Aizen's trademark trolling. - Would Aizen play along until they got to Soul King? If yes, what then? - In what fashion would the betrayal occure? - And would we see Aizen low-diffing majority of Quincies like he did to Gotei in false Karakura? Or maybe under certain circumstances would we see Aizen stand agains Shinigami once again (and handing their asses to them again). Certainly, you would have much more to add to it and expand upon. Thanks once again and keep up the great work. btw. All the people puting Bambietta anywhere near their Top 10 best Bleach girls need to be hospitalized.

I know I'm 2 years late, but maybe Kubo could've made a spin off manga/ a compilation of short stories for each of the sternritter's backstories. I have a book where some of Edgar Allen Poe's work were done in comic book/manga format, and I thought it was done pretty well. It's just an Idea, but I think this could've fleshed out the sternritter characters as a whole...

This is completely off topic so I apologize in advance. But I noticed your RU-vid Banner art is the same on mobile and on Desktop. How did you accomplish this when the mobile cuts off part of the banner art?

Coming fresh off part 2 episode 1 in the TYBA anime. So far I love her personality I hope they add more layers to it

Although I think you'll only say "Oh, it was disapointing", I REALLY need a Shiji Hirako character analysis! He was always one of my favorites, his slick design was always stunning to me, I really wanted to see more of him, but what I saw was satisfyng and I really wanna see what're your thoughts about him and his Bankai. And in regards to the video, I never gave too much attention to Bambietta, she was kind of a shallow character to me, I just don't like the "mean girl" trope when it doesn't have like, a cool twist, although after your analysis, kinda like her funny bits, but one thing I always thought about her and the other girls, is that they were like, that group of popular girls, like the Mean Girls movie, were Bambieta is like, the popular girl and the other ones walk with her and listen to her cause she's powerfull and stuff, but they don't really like each other, they're there just cause, well, they seem to be the only females on the Sternritter and cause well, no problem beng around other girls. I dk excatly how to explain it, but like, all of them were there just cause Bambietta was the popular one, or the "strongest" so they pretend to be good friends, but at the bottom of their hearts the girls really didn't liked her. When I saw the notification I was kinda shocked, like "There's things to analyse about her?" but watching the video, you gave me good points to ook for when I re-read Bleach again, keep the amazing work. AND PLEASE, tell me someday where do you find those colored early chapters of Bleach!

I just rrreeeeeaaaaaalllyyyyy hope Kubo makes changes to the last half of TYBW with the anime studio so he can add in all the stuff he couldn’t, and give us a coherent ending 🙏🙏

I thought her explosions were pretty understandable- Whenever anything (person, object, etc) comes into contact with her reishi, she can infuse her reishi into it, which causes that thing to become a bomb. It's like [Killer Queen] if only Kira's aura had to touch the target, when she infuses her reishi into something, that thing gains an explosive charge and can be detonated by her at will. The times she'd sent her reishi out as a projectile was her arrows with the explode ability applied to them, so instead of piercing a target, they fuse into them, making whatever's struck a bomb which then explodes.

Where do you read the coloured version of the bleach manga?

where did u get the colored panels from?

best bleach tuber in my book

I don't know why I was having trouble figuring out where exactly you are from but I was hedging towards UK preferably England but I could easily have been wrong but I'm glad you confirmed at least UK

17:10 I think it's mentioned in the novels that Mayuri's zombies receive a bit of a buff which is why they're so strong. But yea it's still a pretty big dissapointed.

Her last scene was straight up having her mutilated corpse violated by Giselle, I think she deserves a better closure than that, i hope TYBW anime can do something about it

I like her character design😌and Candice, ofcourse😌😌

Mane they did Shinji dirty. The Komaura fight like you said tho awesome . The 1000year blood war is a mix of highs and lows.

Bambi, my personal "name a bigger downgrade, i'll wait" character in Bleach also top tier Waifu with Neliel and Nemu but all jokes aside I like her very much

You should do a bleach battle series I think it would be really good.

Can you do a gazell character analysis?

I never thought I'd see the day, but I do hope they add some fillers to the anime to flesh out the characters and give them a more concrete personality/history. I get why Kubo couldn't - rushed & exhausted - but hopefully that will be remedied in the anime. Bambietta was one of the more confusing characters to follow. I feel she had too many contradictions.

I think Kubo should keep this character nicely and make her into one of Ichigo gang. Ishida seems to be a lonely Quincy after all. Really dont want to see all the Quincy Gang instinct. Some people are great. Bazz is also one of them, a version of Renji with Quincy Power.

You should have spoken about her role in CFYOW

I believe the reason for why zombie Hitsugaya didn't lose strength because there were no statements about spiritual pressure being diminished

Why wasn't shinji hollowfied? Could ask this about several of them actually

The way they handled her after her fight with komamora was disrespectful. They made her character essentially a mind broken slave.

Wtf when I first started watching these videos he was working toward 10k subs now hes at 40 🤦🏾‍♂️ what a world

Good pronunciation! 😊👌

i know this is a year old but I'm so shocked that not one youtuber, that talks about Bleach, has mentioned anything about her reference towards her last name and her ability.

Please do Littoto because I think she is among the smartest Sternritter and among the most resilient.

Giselle and Bambi are definitely gonna be censored to hell and back in the anime. Their relationship in the manga alone is enough to make my gut wrench.

Is she stronger than espadas from ulqiorra arc

I think she's beautiful

I have a very weird theory and I could be reading into this a bit too deep. But what if and it is a big what if, Bambietta was like a metaphor for how he felt Kubo was being treated when making this Bleach arc. Because I know Kubo was sick both physically and mentally when writing this story and it seems like he was pushed way beyound what he wanted to do. So I could imagine Bambietta being a sort of representation of a young person who stood out and got well liked, underperformed at one point and then was forced like a zombie to contie his work even though he felt lifeless and physically drained from all the energy to make something reach its full potential and then get chucked aside. Now I know this could be way to coincidental but maybe just maybe it could have some merrit on how and why Bambietta was was treated. Maybe Kubo uncounscioalsy wanted to air out his frustrations through Bambietta and her story arc. I don't know what you guys think. I may just be reading too deep into this.

Bambietta is one of my favorite Sternritters (the others being Bazz-B and Askin)! I love her! I was intrigued by her when I first saw her in the trailer for TYBW and when I finally decided to read the arc, I actually really liked her! Her being Sternritter E “The Explode” fits her explosive personality! Hopefully we get some backstory on her in the anime! IMO, she was done so dirty by being turned into a zombie by Giselle. It will ALWAYS be f*ck Giselle because of that! Especially with the way she treated her afterwards! Giselle ain’t sh*t! The way the rest of the girls abandoned my girl was so uncool! Bambietta was Quincy-girl magic and they were jealous of her! 😭😂😭😂

incredibly horrific what happened after her death. This whole arc was absolutely amazing.

I love bombietta design

Thank you for doing an analysis on one of my best girl with Nemu, Neliel and Riruka 😊🥰

Would love an Askin analysis

PLEASE DO A FULL ANALYSIS ON URYU AND WHAT HIS ABILITY TO CHANGE THE PAST EVENTS THE EXACT OPPOSITE OF THE QUINCY EMPEROR'S ABILITY TO CHANGE FUTURE EVENTS.

Hey Mr. Tommo. I'm from germay .. so you were quite close this time :D However, it's not pronounced "ausweylen" but instead you'd say "auswählen" with the "ä" sounding like the "a" of the word "rap" for example .. it's kind of hard to find examples in english :D In case you did not know, it basically means "to choose" :)

Where can I read the bleach manga colored

I would really like to see a fan made comic of Bambietta recruting Vanica Zoigraits (black clover) in to the Bambies and there dayli life together.

My favorite Sternritter

the names “sternritter”, “zweihander”, and “volstandig” some like something straight out my nightmares especially when seeing them for the first time in first three episodes of Bleach: A Thousand Years Blood War. So when i first saw the sadistic dominant fascist mommy named “Bambietta Basterbine”, and saw her wicked smile whilst committing mass genocide: my heart honestly clung to the character as a warm comfort. Yes, Candice Catnipp, Inoue Orhime, Rukia, Catlady, and Full Power Nel are cool, yet Bambietta Basterbine just felt so authentic and wicked: And CONFIDENT! i mean look at that uniform and big smile, she looks like a part of the coolest and most powerful fictional german secret police in the world. i remember when years ago people used to fawn over Esdeath from Akame ga kill; years later, now i finally understand

Every time I look at her... I see Nobu...

Favorite Quincy. She was awesome for the brief time that she was actually herself, only female stern worth anything tbh, shame Kubo wasted her

As for Giselle, I liked her weird behavior towards her zombies. its pretty much what you would expect of a necromancer type character. Sure she can really love an individual "zombie" in her group, but doing any damage or even destroying them holds little meaning aside form establishing dominance, as she can just bring them back whenever.
