BANKAI THAT CHANGES REALITY | SENJUMARU’S INSANE BANKAI BEATS ALL QUINCY | BLEACH Breakdown 

Her Bankai was a total surprise, and it's the most insane Bankai we have ever seen, her calm aura while utilizing her Bankai makes it that much better!!

I believe senjumaru knows uryuu is just waiting for the opportunity to betray the quincys, I noticed that when uryu attacked her she said "how gentle" she probably felt the lack of murderous intent

Her ability/shikai to weave or sew anything, to then her Bankai being weaving her opponent's fate is genius honestly.

I’ve always liked senjumaru since the moment she first appeared in the story. So the love she’s currently getting especially the showing of her bankai i feel is very well deserved

I'm really glad Senjumaru was the one Kubo chose to display her bankai. I've always liked her design, and I feel like her expanded role in the TYBW anime allowed her to show off more of her personality as well compared to the manga.

I think her bankai is literally the three fates from greek mythology that weave the fate of someones life. Theres way too many similarities between what the fates and Senjumaru do with their powers. The fates are said to operate the "loom of life/fate". Even the phrase "your FATE is SEALED" that came from the fates in greek mythology is quite literally what she is doing to them here. Sealing them in fabric and forces them to face their ultimate fate immediately rather than later. But why dont they die from it now or later? Because we know that in cour 3 trailer Uryu probably used his schrift to break out of the ability and uses it to break the schutzstaffel out of theirs which most likely interrupts the bankais ability before Senjumaru is able to sever their "threads of life" like the 3 fates do. Thats why these events still happen but do not ultimately cause their deaths.

Regarding the idea of Senjumaru's Bankai having the ability to manipulate fate, it makes sense that fire is the thing that seals Jugram's fate. In both the past and the future, fire is tied to what ends up determining the choices Jugram makes. It is a fire that kills his uncle and ties him to both Bazz and Yhwach. And it is his decision to kill Bazz, who embodies fire, that ends up leading to him being killed by Yhwach, as a sacrificial pawn. Which it is implied that he saw when he had the Almighty. Great stuff, that futher adds to the tragic nature of Jugram's story.

Zero Squad's members being so strong that they can damage the stability of the worlds is both symbolic and ironic. The theme of power restriction and restraint is a fairly rare theme in Bleach, with the main goal being to get stronger and stronger. With these ancient warriors it's necessary or else. Overall an epic conclusion to the cour and a surprising one at that. Let's see what 2024 brings.

This "Weaver of Fate" bankai makes so much sense, It gives credit to how the zero division is supposed to be on another level

If her bankai can actually do that. That's stupidly broken, and I'm here for it. Not to mention, it might shake some tier lists for bankais

The statement "zero division is stronger than gotei 13" is not a joke anymore.

I think her bankai not only giving her immense power, it also grant her power of observation and analyzation to figure it out how to many ways of defeating her enemy and sealed their fate on how they will be defeat.She can either directly defeat you or put a mark of your upcoming defeat.

My most favourite utterance of *BANKAI* was Byakuya’s - until I heard Senjumaru say it. Truly chilling. The cadence the intonation with which she says *BAN.KAI* is that of an absolute disregard, and an uttern contemptuous disdain for those she is about to extinguish. One of the aspects that has constantly fasscinated me THE MOST throughout Bleach saga (anime) is how each bearer says *Bankai* in his or her own signature way which is unique to that bearer, and the way how any one of them utters it, mimics none other. Truly awesome! *BAN.KAI*

The theory you came up with is sooooo good ! I mean it represents very well how Kubo sensei writes his stories : 1st layer you understand the power because the worlds tremble. 2nd layer her power is to trap people in her tapisseries. 3rd layer the trap is made based on the very weakness of the godly kind of powers the Shutstaffle wields. 4th layer senjumaru is not taking inspiration from what will happen, she is make happens what she feel is the best to defeat her opponents. This goes even further since with what we deduced, I could see how Uryu seems to be the one who will get out of the bankai. Indeed, as he will escape his fate durting his final draw with Ywach, he will escape the tapissery using the antithesis ! Because unlike with the 5 other sterns, the counnter she came up with Uryu is not perfect. In fact, she targeted his ability to gather reishi thinking it will be enough. HOWEVER, we saw in the cage of life (where it was so hard for him to gather reishi) that he is perfectly able use the antithesis in such conditions since he made Ywa escape the cage. And this is soooooo interesting because it proves that this is not just plot armor plaing out. With this kind of detals, we can understant that as world shattering as her power may be, her power is still the subject of limitation, it is not something you turn on to let it do its magical outcome. No. It has to do with the talent of Senjumaru to see the weakness attached to each and every sterritter. This is awesome, thaks kubo for making your story even richer, and thanks DBZimran to connect some of the dots for us.

This is where Kubo originally wanted to go with Squad 0. Now I can't help but wonder what if the other 3 sacrifice themselves so Nimaya, Hikufune and Kirinji can use Bankai. It would also shake the worlds. Maybe this is another reason why the gates of hell opened. Enormous reitsu from outside and inside shok the balance.

Actually, I really dig this interpretation. I always thought since she was called the 'great weaver' that her true powers were to be able to 'weave the fabric of reality'. It would be soooooo dope that she sealed the fates of the Schutzstaffel even (if) after she is defeated. That would be even more redemption for the zero division, on top of giving them significantly more plot relevance rather than simply being godlike beings. Yeah, the more I think about how this has all be handled in the Anime, the more brilliant it is.

This actually makes so much sense. But i also think her bankai in the end grows stronger with each opponent successfully defeated.

I like To think that her bankai takes the idea of a tapestry by historical idea to the max. Tapestry's notoriously are meant to not only be a record of history but a potential fate through destiny. So her Tapestry's are based on each person, as a prediction technique but with the infusion of more of her reishi, the more she can read into there fate, and weave the yarn that beats them, to a degree. Weird in effect, but insane in application. Like tarote cards but in fabric

What Senjumaru used is basically a Domain Expansion/ Reality Marble with the sure it effects and everything.

It makes me way more curious what the Bankai of the other members is like

I was thinking in Jugram's case, it is him regretting to having killed Bazz B, and remembering what as kids they had originally planned to do: kill Yhwach. We also know that Jugram sends Yhwach a dream which eventually leads to his downfall. I feel in the anime, it will play like Senjumaru setup Jugram to bring down Yhwach. Considering Jugram is Yhwach's right hand man, it would be right to do this The reverse is true for Uryu, where he reverses his fate which results in Senjumaru's Bankai failing, and also possibly setting up Yhwach's defeat

Senjumaru monmy is hilarious and accurate. My theory on her Bankai was it represented a portion of the eighteen Naraka of Buddhism. Especially considering the hot and cold references as well as the black sand. (which were described by Buddha) Not to mention, her six arms are the biggest giveaway since Buddhist Deities love to have more than just a single set of arms.

This is my interpretation of Senjumaru's Bankai: FIRST, (1) It shows what specific action/event they did in the past and will do in the future that will lead to their eventual death/demise. And then, (2) it foresees how each Schutzstaffel best effectively dies or is weakened in the future. A complete foresight of each Schutzstaffel's fates based on the best possible outcomes in the future and based from their past and future actions (Something that Ywhach, despite his Almighty's ability to foresee every possible Future Outcome, is unable to change which will lead him to use Auswählen anyway.) SECOND, her Bankai predetermines the best time/event for each Schutzstaffel's death/demise, something that seems to assign the events in the best possible time along with the best match-ups to come against the Captain-level Shinigamis they're going to face. (Still going with the idea as Senjumaru being the Great Weaver, weaving everyone's fates in her favor.) AND LASTLY, Senjumaru ensures that their fates are sealed and that whatever foresight generated and 'tapestries'/'hanks' she already weaved cannot be reversed or changed in the future. (This I think fixes the reason why Overpowered Schutzstaffels will lose to Captain Rank Shinigamis, even with Ywhach's influence). This also makes sure that when the Schutzstaffel loses in cour 3, it won't seem like it's Plot armor and instead would look like an omnipotent force of ensured Fate as weaved by Senjumaru (sticking to the idea that the Squad Zero is indeed capable of this feat). So it's just her 1. Designing the fates and pulling the suitable threads to use. 2. Weaving everyone's threads of fates together to her liking. and 3. Her cutting the thread and finalizing the hanks/cloths of interweaved fates. Which means that even if she won't kill the Schutzstaffel now, doesn't mean she didn't influence the outcome of their future. In relation to the Cour 3 Trailer with Uryu being her final opponent, (and assuming I guessed Senjumaru's Bankai correctly) it could be that he activates Antithesis to reverse the effects of her Bankai and turn it against her, weaving her most fitting death at the most fitting time while sealing it permanently. This should turn the tides and be a great plot progression as to how Senjumaru/Squad Zero is defeated by Uryu and then, simultaneously during Ichibe's and Ywhach's battle, Ywhach awakens the Almighty and revives the defeated Schutzstaffels. (Yeah call me crazy with all these speculations 😂) But you know, it's just my interpretation. I'm just excited to watch what will happen to Cour 3. Who knows, she might explain her Bankai too just like the other Captains. 😅

Senjumaru is a certified baddie waifu

Soo cool that you can break down this elaborate Bankai and help us understand the depths of the creativity and sheer badassery! As always, Thanks!

Really concise and clear breakdown. Detailed and in depth. I’m glad you made a video about this before anyone else. You should do a video comparing the strength of Byakuya, Toshiro, Renji, and Rukia at the end of TYBW. They all undergo big power ups that put them on their own level and I think they are all close enough to compare.

The fact they made a whole new bankai for the anime,give me hope that they gonna show us ichigo's true bankai and what can it do. Even if yhwach stills gonna break it,at least show to us from yhwach's perspective. Because that shit must be really strong to make a beign that can see and change the future so afraid of it,that he didn't let ichigo use at full potential.(sorry my english is bad)

Well said. Your argument had me feeling different emotions whilst hearing your level of depiction over the source material. Your translations are awesome. Thank you for what you do I always have your videos on when I’m designing interiors. Because if I can explain my concepts like you do Bleach I’m ok.

Her bankai has the ability to seek the opponent's emotional and physical weakness thru time. Absolutely busted power, foreshadowing how the 4 royal guards will die

Incredible analysis. Keep it up!

I personally like to think that her arms act akin to the sheath of the zanpaktou. O-etsu said that a sword w/out a sheath can't be called a proper sword so it might make sense if her arms act like that given that her "sword" takes the form of a needle. This is only my speculation given what we learn about zanpaktou thanks to O-etsu's dialogue regarding swords. Now to speculate on the bankai of the rest of Squad Zero, hopefully Kubo will be charitable and at least tell/explain it to us like Shuhei before CFYOW was made

DBZImran, im not sure if all the western people has this knowledge, the fascinating things about the thump and rattle is not just enchantment . it is the sound Japanese people use to refer to that old wooden sewing machine, more specific are those old old old silk weaver sound. if you guys ever visit a weaving museum in Japan. it does create that kinda sound. and since Senjumaru is old this bankai felt really ancient and portrayed her from that ancient period of time. its super cool

I rewinded her activating her Bankai like 10 times .. shit was so 🔥 🔥 🔥

Her calm nature whilst activating her bankai... as though she is performing a poem that seals their fate

Such a well thought out video

Good video, her shika is always active and it allows her to weave the "fabrics" of reality. This is why she can heal and do pretty much anything in her shikai. Her bankai takes it a step further and allows her to not only weave the threads of Fate but also read the threads of Fate. She cna understand everything about her opponents and their lives. Her goals wanst the defeat or death or the quincy but rather the protection of the royal palace and 3 worlds. She weaved fate to bring this to be.

Been literally waiting for a video about this

This is the dbzirman i subd too =] solid video good sir. I felt the passion. I gotta say Senju just fought her way into the Waifu arena and she is knockin people out! Her Bankai is just too dope. Shinjis bankai still "sounds" the best.(must listen with good speakers)I still get goosebumps from it.

I like the difference in the confidence between the three that sacrificed themselves. The only confident one was Oh-etsu. He only used one hand on his blade. Tanjiro seems the least confident due to his hand positioning.

Hands down best thumbnail I ever seen.

The bankai was beautiful and the fight was nice i hope we see more original stuff in part 3 especially for the Quincys

the thumbnail looks really good

One of the coolest things ive seen on animes lately, loved every second

Man... you're definitely top 3 when it comes to bleach analysis!!!💯💯

Thanks this was amazing

Broooooo i love the intro❤️

Great explanation!

I agree what you saying. Zero Squad got redemptions in anime. The Bankai was something we did not expected. So well designed. This is like infinity loop of their fate and they are trapped until someone’s saves them.

Aaghh finaalllllyyyyyy someone explaining Shutara Senjumaru's Bankai Shatatsu Karagara Shigaraminotsugi 💯💯

I'm just here to appreciate Semjuumommy's beauty. 🔥

Yo nice video this is kinda crazy

Great video

I also find it quite interesting that the pattern in Ishida’s room changes, and shows the star absorbing the black tendrils after the scene where Yhwach proclaims that Ichibe’s black is now his power. In that sense, it might forshadow that the cross is supposed to be Ishida, since the design is very close to the Pendant he’s been using, and having him be destined to seal Yhwach’s power. Also, one interesting scene in her fight with Gerard is where she tries to pierce his heart, and he’s supposedly the Heart of the Soul King. I guess that’s why she was surprised.

We're here baby, can't wait to hear this man's thoughts about senjumaru's bankai

From the other Bankai that have these types of reality warping effects, Kisuke/Shunsui/Kaname to an extent/some others, they just affect the physical environment. Senjumaru’s more akin to a domain expansion- a pocket dimension that the user is able to essentially alter reality. This is the sort of thing that is much more esoteric than what we’re used to.

One of the method Kurotsuchi utilized i defeating\countering Pernida is with a modified version of Ashisogi Jizou. One that has 10,000 layers of epidermis with its nerves exposed on its surface. That Ashisogi Jizou ate pernida and in its stomach is unable to escape. Just like being swallowed up like quicksand.

Before, i thought Kisuke's bankai was the most OP and broken among all thr bankai in the series, until Senjumarus performance, i knew from the very beginning that there is something odd or should i say haunting about this woman... And she delivers

Been waiting for this!!!

Well explained 🎉🎉!!!

you see how badly the shaking is from just Senjumaru using her bankai, now imagine without the restriction all four of them doing bankai at the same time.

Wow, great analysis. I think your video essay explains a lot why it was Senjumaru who was picked exclusively by the other royal guards to release her bankai. Considering her mysterious character, she's the only one that could have that kind of power. It would be a little bit out of character if the other squad zero release fate-altering bankai like this; Kirinji is a healer and has hotheaded personality. His bankai probably would be a healing/life-shaving type. Nimaiya is a fighter. His bankai is likely a fighting-based like squad 11. Kirio is a cook. Her bankai is likely some kind of power nourishment. So the squad zero gave their lives for her to ensure Schutstaffel's downfall if it's really a reality-altering. If even Yhwach lost his fight against Hyosube, the schutstaffel is still a big threat.

I Love The Fact That You Used Mysterious In The BackGround, Always Felt Like That Was Such An UnderRated SoundTrack 🥲 And Thie Vid Was Nothing Short Of Amazing 🖤

This is insane. I did not notice the references to their eventual death. I was mesmerized with the bankai. ❤

Thumbnail Senjumaru doing things to me

Who makes the art in your videos? Love the effort! Great video

3:52 I m convinced now that senjumaru is a top waifu

She tethered their fates …fabric or reality type shit…

This has become my favourite bankai so far!

Cool vid bro.😺

You can see Hikifune's sword when she cuts her neck

Praying that we get to see the other Bankai in future works.

So she literally fabricated their demise… meaning her Bankai is able to control reality to some degree Holy fuck no wonder the zero division were sealed. Would love to see like a alternate string of episodes where each of them get to show of their bankai

Who better than a weaver to guide the thread of the enemy's demise? Plus her tapestries are really beautiful. Reminds me of hanafuda card arts somewhat.

in my opinion from what I understand what her bankai might do is that instead of predicting the future of her opponents' inevitable dooms it actually weaves (kinda like writing what will happen to them almost like a curse) the outcome she wants therefore weaving a story that she is the writer of in summary it can weave story in the fabric of her opponent's fate

Just a lil detail to add to this masterpiece, Senjumaru's arms together represent her zanpakuto's sheath. The needle represents the sword

Been waiting for someone explain Senjumaru with it being anime only ive been interested find out more

The water guy seems to have abilities revolving around red and white blood cells and the immunity system. While mama royal guard seems to be focused on life, birth and nurturing.

Look into the ancient myth of "fateweavers" in history. in many culture, the symbolism of that is rather omnious to what she really is meant to represent. Ichigo would probably not give a flying damn about it lol

1. 3:51-3:54 lmao. 2. I never thought that Senjumaru's Bankai foreshadowed the Royal Guard's downfall. Kubo is such a genius!

I think all those different fabric patterns that drop are all the different methods she could create and use. Like we see the ice pattern fabric but it’s still just one of the many patterns she can use with her bankai.. all those are different weaves she can use to defeat various different types enemies. Not that those are all defeated enemies she had previously used bankai on. Like it’s not a trophy room but all the different types of ways she can choose per ‘customer.’

love the vids was waiting for this one hopefully that either when the hell arc continues and cfyow gets animated the other members also get their bankai's revealed and still waiting for the naruto content but I'll consume anything Imran. ❤❤❤❤

Her Bankai + Voice Made It More Scarier As She Progressed ❤❤❤

I understand why they forced Kubo to cut this because her Bankai would’ve taken up at least a whole chapter and would’ve been a nightmare to draw and panel effectively

she reminds me of arachnia from greek mythology "and in and out of the fabric, that was stretched across the loom the sins and the secrets of the gods were shown"

I suppose something to think about is that Senjumaru is basically a sealer, which acts as a good counter to Immortal / Untouchable entities. I guess the other members of Zero are counters to different things: Poisons / Impurity, Unstoppable / Powerful Forces, Immovable / Invulnerable Objects.

hey can you please a video explaining the Can't Fear Your Own World novel. btw loved your videos!

So she's literally that one teammate in fps games that clutches a 1 v everyone, everytime

Her triple realm trembling power is a television with future sight. So it tries to kill them with a specific thing and if they survive they die by that thing anyways. That way its pretty cool.

Now I’m curious as to what the other squad zero’s Bankais are like 🤯

squad zero is no joke, Nimaiya proclaimed himself as the baddest man in Squard Zero, which means his bankai might be stonger than senjumaru's bankai

My guess is, the bankai of each squad zero transcends time and space making it multiversal. This explains why it shakes all the realms when activated like when the infinity gauntlet is used. It creates shockwaves of cosmic proportions. I think if a power or bankai no matter how strong can only exist in one realm or space then there is no chance that can escape Senjumarus bankai or counter it. Let's say like Yamamotos bankai, its so powerful that it can destroy the soul society but it can only exist in that realm and space.

The thumbnail is godly

I hope Kubo shows us other Squad Zero members' bankai. Can't wait to see Oetsu's bankai.

25:28 It might be a perfect blade, but it's a failure as a Zanpakutō since no sheath can contain it. This actually explains explicitely that a Zanpakutō is both the blade AND the scabbard.

At first, I thought that her Bankai might weave tapestries tailor-made to exploit her opponents' weaknesses, but I've come around to the fate interpretation since learning that her bankai contains the name of Kālá. This makes her scenarios for Uryuu and Haschwalth a bit strange since those tapestries seem drawn more from significant events in their pasts that led them to where they are. I feel in Uryuu's case, this might come back to bite her, since Uryuu survived that Auschwählen 9 years ago. EDIT: I think Uryuu's tapestry is going to be Senjumaru's undoing because Uryuu survived Ywach's attempt to absorb his power, and the Antithesis will allow him to break out. Then, he'll probably get a monolog about not letting that fate befall him.

Expert analysis. Two things are certain: Loyal manga readers have had our minds blown and we cannot rely on our knowledge of the manga to predict the occurrence of events to come. Bleach lore is being introduced to us that both answers questions and cause more.

I think the room where uryu was represent ashwalen as millions of Quincy lost their powers back to the big cross ywatch and it foreshadows what he will have to do in the futur

Literally changing the fabric of reality

None of the SS, Uryu or Haschwalth were at their strongest and literally none of them have been beaten by this Bankai. They're all shown as alive and kicking.

Her bankai forshadows the future and that makes it even more epic!
