GIN’S FINAL SECRET | Gin Ichimaru’s DEADLY Bankai: Kamishini No Yari | BLEACH Explained 

yea i loved this one fact about gin showing how similar tyey are

It's very bittersweet. We find out he's not evil (well, not an Aizen pawn at least lol) and was doing it all to avenge his only friend. I'd have loved a love story with Gin and Rangiku

​@@bwestacado9643I think it was a love story and a very good 1 cuz women can make men do crazy crazy things I kno from experience lol those tears from rangeku was more than jus a friend tears kno what I mean

@@relicdad88 I don't disagree, but we didn't see it. We saw tears and him deciding to kill Aizen, but we didn't get to wallflower any conversations, dates or hangouts and that is what I mean. I'd have loved to see the romance between them blossom and grow instead of just the aftermath and final moments

😂😂😂😂😂🤣True

Shinji wouldn't suffer from explaining his Bankai because you're his ally. I think you mean Rose

@@corruptangel6793That’s true

@@corruptangel6793 shinji straight up uses his bankai on aizen and tells him what his bankai was doing.

@@georgeDeming shikai. Bankai reverses the sense of friend and foe, and shikai reverses the sense of direction.

The story needed At Least a singular thematic snake parallel and HONESTLY… With the number of predictable abrahamic monotheistic “snake from the garden who’s whichever named devil/demon/etc.” Twists that EVERY westerner Knows is the MOST likely Snake Themed narrative subtle implications or even heavily implied character parallels, which; With Gín, appear so On the Nose that the subversion of BadGuy Devil Snake to Just a snake theme in name that Really is more like a snake that’s part of his own Potentially Unexplored with answers DESIRE to return the pieces of the first girl that is either loved as a little sister or an adoptive stepsister which kinda loves him instinctively though None of these feelings for eachother CAN even be explored beyond their Surface level interpretations and vague wonderings… I LOVE that we Know Rángíkū loves him at least as an elder family/lover/protector who helped when she Least expected before ABANDONING her for reasons she couldn’t be told… and BOOM it was all a Hundred year long childhood mission to reclaim the stolen pieces of her soul and return them SOMEHOW… Which MAYBE if he’d paid closer attention to Aîzèn’s dialogue about Ôrīhímé then he Could have told her to try Returning the missing piece of her soul which had been stolen by Aîzèn because it’d be a good test for if he could recreate additional copies of these pieces of the Réīô (with whichever power-hungry Àrráncár there as a decent distraction that wants all of them to Ascend to levels they Suspect Èspádâ Shíī/Yôn may be beyond them in mastery of the Shinigami powers in a more well rounded way akin to powers like Bánkaî… though he thinks Aîzèn doesn’t know somehow… ) But having our dearest of flower hair ornament rejectors of reality in direction of her own views of a better reality to Réīô Levels always felt like the ONE way the girl COULD MAYBE get her Bánkaî if she KNEW she was missing a crucial chunk of her soul and saved by Gín at least in the aftermath… I forget how much of it he ever even gets the chance to explain to her about how he’s sorry he couldn’t accomplish his soul-child’s goal of revenge… Though he could’ve killed those dude Before they gave it to Aîzèn maybe and then returned to her… but I wonder how well they’d know anything besides just the instincts and whatever happened when he got a cloak and Ásàūchí… but I wonder how easily kid Gín takes these lowtear Aîzèn subordinates?! And ALSO, if he were smarter and had had more conversations with Kísūké about the best means of eliminating Aîzèn ahead of time THEN maybe it could’ve gone differently but I guess he needed to have such a Shocking twist of Deep Cover 100 year operation just to return a nice girl the part of her soul that had been robbed from her…. Does ANYONE think Hítsūgáyà would be captain before Rángíkū if she WASNT missing a piece of Réīô where the power of PART of the hōgïôkū taken is the Bit that completes her Powers so that she’s functionally the difference between an Extra Disabled Lieutenant+ level where they simply NEVER seem to have a Bánkaî… and this feels like something Maybe Ínôūé could Easily fix if she was told in detail by someone like EVEN a Gín living in Hell WHICH could be an Amazing way to have a character return in a new mysterious way where his Real Goal is to get Kázūí to somehow use his own or his mum’s powers to Reject Reality where these things transpired… I think Maybe Tsūkīshímà is the furthest the powers used might be pushed to really reveal how a LOT of Problems that 12th Division & Kísūké could Attempt would still be inadequate in comparison… but I do wonder if that wouldn’t remove SOME of Aîzèn’s powers from the final battle, though if it’s all After that battle, then Why Not?! It is funny how so many times I’ve thought how sharing Réīátsū between the right characters at the right moments COULD cause massive sudden growths in characters’ capabilities in general… But Maybe he’s a Proper Devilish Deciever Snake Now that he’s in Hell? or he just feels duty to be a better servant Now and to never be shocked by these Humans who outdo professionals then whine about their schedule in the world of the living… which Must feel laughable! But dude could’ve made a multi Kídō based trap that reacts to Aîzèn whilst he’s leaving MORE than One bit of his blade to poison him where maybe he could also cut open his skull and poison it WITHOUT explaining it to Aîzèn? & then travel to knocked out Rángíkū with it BUT then we kinda NEED some Sántèn Kèsshūn to at least reject the Déīô pieces Back into what they were meant to be and have them Added to Rángíkū which MAYBE rejecting Her without all her pieces taken could force them to reconstitute from whatever Aîzèn may possess… But poinsoned Multiple times whilst Kísūké stuff get Aîzèn concerned and maybe the hōgïôkū turning back would also remove stuff or whatever… I mean the Tsūkīshímà idea feels like they could just rewrite Rángíkū to’ve regenerated her stolen powers normally so that she finally has her REAL powers which… I imagine will be MORE than just More Ash… more arse, sure, but simply more Ash for Haînèkō feels as dull as expecting Gín to simply have extend-a-sword speed & length boost as his SUPPOSED Bánkaî powers…. The god killing theme is too delicious, though I wonder how this MIGHT shift in Hell…. But I also wonder if Tsūkīshímà couldn’t also bring people back to life if he cut people in hell to rewrite their past whichever ways so that they’d not be dead but also still have mastery over their time in the path of hell… but that might be a bit much… Just KINDA Wondering what Rángíkū in the war looks like with Bánkaî hollowfication, better understanding of Gín & perhaps something related to snake theming or whatever Fullbring related stuff Especially if they tell her about fullbring powers from the Réīô off panel & how whichever powerful Èspádà & Licht Reich have elements that made them incomparably superior to the ordinary powers they’d have without whichever piece of the Réīô… Maybe a Hítsūgáyà-busy/disabled temporarily to FORCE her to be Acting Captain? Which wouldn’t be a worry cause no one knows she’s become Different after hanging with Rūkíà & Ôrīhímé & them making her have Tsūkīshímà force her to regain her Original powers… Imagine if she powered up so substantially cause of it all and hade her powers evolve a bit… it feels reasonable for PostTYBW Ôrīhímé to be capable even if we need Tsūkīshímà using book of the end to rewrite her past… but whether this effects Aîzèn is the only big question up in the air… What do anyone that read this think?! Yay or Nay?! Is this worth exploring with maybe Gín from hell and whichever other characters or should they all be completely warped by their Damnation despite it being shinto-buddhist hell?

Brilliant move since his bankai resembles it's other 2 forms

Yep he is one of the best, he was child and still had more insight and knew what it would take to kill Aizen. Must have been real funny for him to train as a shinigami and see all those people around him not having a clue about Aizen. All those captains thinking they're the sht, what a joke.The captain commander sure was top tier but Gin knew it wasn't enough. He literally made him bite the dust, it was so poetic.

I think what is more terrifying about it is that he should be able to expand his Bankai shards at will as well. I personally don't think his Zanpakto was poisoned at all as it would defeat the purpose of his efforts of getting so close to Aizen.

It was because of Yamamoto’s sheer Reatsu that he knows it was real and not an illusion when he was stabbed. Yamamoto’s Reatsu could identify what was real and what was not. He hold on to Aizen to kill him point blank and so that Aizen could not escape. It’s true that Kyoka Suigetsu’s weakness was first explained during the Gin scene that anyone in contact with the Zanpakuto are not affected. Also anyone who had not seen his Shikai release are also not affected like Ichigo.

RIP to the goat Old Man Yama

It has three weaknesses. One is hyper situational. First one is what you just mentioned. Second is when Gin tries to kill Azien. He revealed he knows if you can touch his blade you won’t be effected by complete hypnosis. 3rd is What Ichigo said after their presumed victory over YHWACH is that he could feel something off when he entered the battlefield when he showed up to help SS fight him and again felt the same sensation when he returned to soul society for the final battle. Implying those who are not under its influence can tell when it’s activated and effecting others. This is why this weakness is hyper situational cause the moment Azien activates it all that see the release are forever effected by it. Azien even comments he had no clue that not showing Ichigo his release would pay off the way it did.

@@hankocpharung1383 that's not how either Yamamoto or Gin explain that. It is contact with the zanpakto(physically) which also explains why each time someone is cut/stabbed with KS it then shows where Aizen is.

@@Edmitsu well there is a fourth one too, if you are blind.

Probably not, because to a captain be sent to hell is necessary a specific ritual that was used in the one shot of breaths from hell and It was stated that due to gin's actions he couldn't have a proper captain burial inside of sereitei.

So why did aizen kill gin at that moment?

@@AG-en5y don't ask me ask aizen fanboy lol

@@AG-en5y Aizen has always been someone who admires courage and resilience in the face of circumstances; which is why both Tosen and Gin are important to his character. Gin had the guts to pull this trick at such a time like this, when Aizen was considered seemingly near-transcendent. He was curious to see how Gin was going to carry out his revenge, and he likes him for trying. Aizen isn't utterly emotionless as people claim. He slashed Gin that hard out of bitterness, because Gin cast aside everything about Aizen so quickly for revenge, whereas Aizen actually did admire Gin somewhat and respected his resolve in trying at all.

Aizen fanboys are the worst

Hollowfication required the use of the Hogyoku. Aizen fed a part of Rangiku's soul to the Hogyoku. I'd like to think Gin wouldn't wanna use it because he loved Rangiku.

That's covered by it being established that Aizen wasn't defending himself (and we know passive reiatsu is astronomically weaker than honed reiatsu) and by Aizen implying later that he was supressing his power. Hence why Ichigo's friends could sense Aizen when previously not even Isshin could sense him. In a head-on fight, Gin would have been erased with 0 effort on Aizen's part

@@corruptangel6793 that's not really the case since significant difference according to how Kubo presented it is SUPPOSED to passively negate it. The point being, that 'rule' only matters unless the plot needs it not to(which is nearly every single fight IN Bleach)

Higher reiastu negating all hacks became forgotten as the story continued on. So it’s just a writing error. Imo removing that statement from the existence would make Bleachverse, way better.

@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 Zaraki blocking Ichigo's sword is the only We've seen someone negate another's power passively, and that was because Ichigo was so intimidated that he wasn't effectively honing his own power. We see this effect all the time, but only when someone is actively defending themselves

@@corruptangel6793 no, we've seen Yamamoto do the same thing passively to Overkill(though even there, some damage and scuffs occur. Also think about the context of what you just said, Kenpachi's higher rietsu was cut through simply by Ichigo sharpening his own. Similarly we've seen throughout the series passive or not, higher Rietsu does not actually instantly negate hax or damage. The ONLY time that supposedly actually happens completely is the illusion of Aizen telling Soi Fon why her two strike ability didn't work.(which was a lie because it's not even the real Aizen talking to her, but a KS illusion) Yamamoto actively defending himself from Wunderweiss still gets injured despite Aizen himself admitting Yama was stronger than him at that point. We have Kaien being beaten by a hollow with just a gimmick hax, we get Rukia being wounded by a low level base Hollow, we get Yumichika being put in the hospital by FIREWORKS. No, the 'All battles are down to higher spirit pressure' line is absolute BS. Kubo introduced it and literally contradicted it in the same chapter. The entirety of Bleach is about weaker characters challenging and often beating much stronger ones.

Also Vegeta, when he can't turn super saiyan: I wanna! I wanna! I wanna!

​@@c6rn6g2k1d Also Vegeta upon seeing a new form: Mine!! Mine!! Mine!! Mine!!

i agree, him and his bankai would have been good in the TYBW

He's seriously underrated in combat capabilities. Bankai aside, he's a master swordsman and it's shown so early in his fight against Hitsugaya in the Soul Society arc. He straight up uses everything to throw his opponent off, hiding his movements with his clothes, using collaterals such as Hinamori to get into his enemies head and keep their focus away from his true intentions until it's too late. He's got such a simple Shikai but the way he utilises it is nothing short of genius.

My boy wasn't innocent but died a virgin, sad.

Gin and Rangiku deserved better.

True. Also on or, if not, the biggest plot twists.

yeah it would have got a nice showcase in the TYBW if they kept gin around

I don't remember about who made the first hogyoku but I thought Aizen "fed" his hogyoku with the one made by Urahara. So it makes sense that he was the first one as you say.

@@lylemcdermott2566 Aizen made the first one, he said so in the anime and manga.

It was April fools day

I'm really trying to jog my memory but I believe it's heavily implied that aizen was always suspicious of Gin and had his guard up and similarly Gin new Aizen was suspicious which means aizen always would of had his shikai released on Gin aswell so the only time Gin could strike was when he got to touch the blade and he was only able to do that because aizen let his guard down thinking he was invincible

He said it, it was the timing, he didn't have the opportunity. He would've have been suspicious to casually touch Aizen blade mid fight. He needed that once in a lifetime chance which happened not too far later when he acted non chalantly and grabbed his blade mid conversation with Aizen in his back and lowered guard.

@@AC_336 no, it's not as if aizen told Gin and 10 seconds later he was getting impaled. I suspect knew he didn't kill her. You think aizen wouldn't know of the effect that Gin used that could stunt spiritual pressure and give off the appearance of death? Gin got it out of a long time ago probably and was just waiting for that ideal opportunity. He even had a contingency in Ichigo. During the fight with Ichigo he had no intention of doing anything than testing his abilities to make sure that if God forbid he failed Ichigo would pick up the slack or have the strength and resolve to pick up the slack.

@@skeptischism1324 I forgotten when exactly did Gin learn KS's weakness so I probably gotten that fact wrong. But the entire scene with Rangiku and Gin was too deliberate to not have any sort of significance to the events right after that. Why did Aizen have to ask Gin about Rangiku?

@@AC_336 he was essentially seeing if Gin would be honest with him. Aizen knew about Gin and Rangiku growing up together and I'm pretty sure he also suspected that the only reason Gin opted to be his subordinate was some attempt to get back what was taken from her, she had part of the soul King in her I forget I think it was like a fingernail or something like that out of her soul. And I think eisen deliberately told him about KS weakness because that's the type of guy Aizen is, I assumed he would have known that the second Gin found some arbitrary reason to put his hands on KS, that's when the strike would come. You even hear Aizen in the dub version just as Gin touches KS and says that he'll go after the kids, Tatsuke and the rest, Aizen says "GIN" with a sort of " DON'T YOU DARE INFLECTION IN HIS VOICE" when you add it all up he knew he didn't kill Rangiku and probably knew about Gins motives from just about the beginning but he was a prodigy and he was zealous in his goal so Aizen knew he can manipulate him. I mean I think about what happened on the bridge before rukia's execution when he unneeded Lee tormented her. He had to play up the villainous role all the time because Aizen was watching.

Shinigami can't be sent to hell without the ritual, as far as we know; the "purification ceremony" where two hollows are captured and killed in front of the dead. (Only the veterans knew about this. All the "younger" shinigami, Rukia, Renji, Kira, Nanao, Rangiku, Hitsugaya, etc. they had no idea.) Spoiler>/spoiler> The shinigami confirmed to have gone to hell are Yamamoto, Unohana and Ukitake. I've been wondering whether they'd still go, without ritual, and whether any of the old gotei captains are there. I'd assume they're all dead, since it would've been impossible for the Gotei to change with them around. Yamamoto and Unohana might've been the only reformed criminals out of that bunch. Spoiler>/spoiler>

And that "evolve" thing is stop after ichigo use mugetsu.

@@DeskDown5464 to be fair Ichigo speculates that the Hogyoku granted Aizen secret wish to be “just a normal Shinigama” and stopped granting him powers albeit he was still immortal.

@@redlox2 it just ichigo speculation dude, he always get confused by his own power, even shinji notice that. And tbh from reseaching bleach manga, klub outside, i want to say that ichigo not talking about aizen, he is talking about old man zangetsu.

@@redlox2 i wouldn't say aizen is immortal, i would say aizen have a very strong regeneration. Bc yhwach said it takes to much time to kill you, he didn't say "it is imposible to kill you."

​@@DeskDown5464It isn't speculation. Ichigo has demostrated to have the latent ability to see into the hearts of the people he fights. He quite literally understands his opponent when trading blows and, when he fought Aizen, he felt loneliness and a desire to be normal, which fits the character of Aizen imo. Shinji revealed that Aizen was special since the moment he was born. His spiritual pressure and intelligence were far above everyone else in Soul Society, besides Urahara, who he hated due to his radically different philosophy.

I mean, he did... till hogyoku bull crap

It's not out yet so he can't do a comparison.

@@Waas but he own copy of that:D

He much like other characters will grow on you once you get more of their back stories fleshed out over time.

That one scene and dialogue on that bridge where he says to Rukia that if she asked him he would save her will always be remembered. He was devious.

Ichigo isn't a vizard though, he's an hybrid from birth. Plus he's a quincy and a fullbring and whatever other thing was before entering the shinigami world.

It’s definitely strong but it is 100s of lights years away in terms of power to Zanka no Tachi

@@BrothaMan831 ooh that's really interesting wow! :O

That's what I love about him. He basically sold his soul for the chance to kill the devil and take back what was stolen from his love, only to fail and die in her arms. He may not have served a significant role in Ichigo's story, but his own story was beautifully tragic.

@@corruptangel6793 I like your perspective

hey hey, hold your horses now. Who would have hosted the arrancar encyclopedia ? Dude was VERY important. 😉
