Kubo Reveals NEW DETAILS on Human Sajin, YAMA & UNOHANA'S PAST TEASE + More! | Klub Outside Q&A 

The whole thing was entertaining as always tommo 🎉

It makes sense, but it's still a huge disappointment, being he didn't even get to be in the presence of Juha Bach, let alone avenge his CC.

When you making a prediction vid about the Bleach 20th anniversary announcements?

I def think he’ll draw this as part of the continuation of the Hell Arc, hopefully!

I’m hoping that the hell arc versions of Yamamoto, Unohana and the rest of the captains are portrayed in their primes when they appear from hell.

Yeah after him saying that; I definitely see it happening, as Yamamoto making Unohana kneel before his great power.

I definitely think it'll happen after the blood war anime

The hell arc is definitely happening. There is no reason for anyone to even think it's not. Please remember, us old bleach fans waited 15 years. So this is just part of kubos process. Kubo said let him cook. And Kubo has never let us down. Let him cook.

Patience is a virtue

Kubo originally wanted to put Unohana’s backstory in TYBW, but he said it would lead out of the main point.

I really am interested in seeing more of her abilities. Just how powerful is she considering she’s part of the shiba clan?

more like TOP HEAVY! kukukukukuku . 😎

I remember those Kukaku being former Royal Guard theory. Even one of the official artbooks put some tease around it putting the Oken info around Kukaku pages. Such a troll.

Lol considering your profile picture we all know why you like her design 😂😂

She is so Meh.

Kinda just hoping Mayuri uses yammy against gerald

​@@Bl4ckV3ins Ngl that would be kinda cool. I mean, seeing Yami at all would be something considering it's really weird he is basically the last remaining Espada other than Grimmjow and Halibel and we don't have any info. Kubo could've just kill him there but instead he is lost doing feck nothing with a doggo lol

Honestly that would have too Convenient and Plot Armoury

Like this lower weaker side character just so happens to have this power that allows him to solo most the enemy

@@RandomGuy-ci9nt really, but his Bankai is that strong but him getting defeated so easily was very weird

That seems very likely

Yea it would be cool. Like if they fought and ended up in a stalemate or some wager that if she lost, she'd join Yamaji.

​@@dariusd2003now that sounds cool

Is Sajin still intelligent/sapient, or has he been reduced to just being a beast? I'm guessing the former, because his Grandfather maintains intelligence. Would it be possible for Sajin to return to his former form of his karma improved enough, perhaps? Sajin is one of my favourite Captains, and I really feel he was done slightly dirty with the Humanization Technique - it didn't really achieve a whole lot for how much it cost him.

@@dougla517 Don't know if he can return to human form. His heart, after all, was destroyed. I'm sure there's something symbolic in that, but only Kubo can say for sure.

That was my take on it as well. His fight against Bambietta was a fight to protect his comrades, even as he was staking his life to avenge Yamamoto, but once she was defeated, revenge once again dominated his heart. Hence, the curse reactivated. The whole thing was a poison pill from the start.

This is largely the conclusions I've come to regarding Komamura as well, but it's even darker than that from what I understand. In some sects of Buddhism, being human is a mere one or two steps below Nirvana and true enlightenment, and all manner of beasts are lesser because they lack some inherent "humanity" that humans alone posses. Because all beings aspire to Nirvana, all beings must therefore become human before making that final climb to enlightnement. That's what Komamura's heart represents in his whole tragic arc. It's not literally his heart, contrary to how it may look (because Soul Society is the afterlife remember, everyone's bodies reflect the state of their soul), but rather the budding core of humanity that he earned for himself in distancing himself from the Beast Clan in the first place. Theoretically, there's nothing stopping Komamura from regrowing the humanity he sacrificed, but it would take time. Like thousands of years time. Meanwhile his dear grandad gets to sit on the side and gorge himself on scraps stolen from people like him. Lovely man.

The purpose was to get more power. We saw how Komamura’s grandfather egging him on while licking the heart.

I really like this idea and hope we get something similar to it.

Unohana giving Yamamoto his first scar makes too much sense! That’s gotta be where he got it from, cause who else would be able to? Maybe it’s the other way around and she wanted to join him but he wouldn’t let her until she landed a strike on him. Either way, it’s bound to be a cool story.

@@iReiGNxx no but the other scars by her first is

@@BlackT-ff6wr Well…I don’t mean his literal first scar, just the first one on his head

To be or could have been?

@@RandomGuy-ci9nt He could have been. Ichigo was strong enough so he could be put in the SK's place as needed. Also just noting this, Soul King=/=Original Sin which some people think for some reason.

@@nahte123456 if the dismemberment of the soul king at the hands of the nobles isn't the original sin then what is

@@SkeetWeet4368 That IS the Original Sin, it just has nothing to do with being the Soul King. The SK was already the SK when the nobles thought "he's so strong, what if he takes our power?" and attacked him, which multiple characters have mentioned he COULD have stopped but didn't. If Ichigo did become SK he could still just...live in the castle, walk around, have a family. He just would have to stay in the castle so no one attacks him and keep the worlds in order, the Original Sin has literally nothing to do with being the SK, that's why it's a "sin", the nobles were just being horrible and selfish.

@@nahte123456 Ichigo could just live in the Royal Palace, yes. But Ichibei wouldn't let that fly and all but says as much. Too risky to let the linchpin have free will and shit.

There's a chance we might get this too then!

Was this a tweet, or an interview?

omg i vaguely remember this too, but cant recall where he said it

I think it was at jump festa 2023. Not the recent one but the one after cour 1 ended

That’s an excuse for him to be lazy and not give us some well deserved details about characters that he rushed or was force to rush to finish the story

Hopefully we get a chapter this year because it’s been 3 years now.

​@earlvaughan-williams3835 defo not this year. Probably won't get anything until 2026 after the anime finishes

It would be so disappointing if they don’t. I feel like manga creators leave a lot on the table in terms of what they could do with their universes.

@@jaioncebollero1168 I think it's burnout. They do these series weekly and end up totally exhausted. At least Kubo is now in a position where he has time to rest and do it more pleasure.

We know what started her redemption arc. It was her guilt for crippling Zaraki's potential.

We kinda know

@@jackwitt7430 doesn’t explain why she would be a healer and how she transformed from murdererous to kind hearted

@@cian239 She was already a healer. She learned how to heal so that she could extend her fights.

Goodnight my friend

He beat her up is crazy. Unohana said no one but zaraki is stronger than her. U have a wild imagination

​@@yngsamsungit may just be in a specific area like pure strength or fighting abilities because we know there are several shinigamis like the royal guard who are stronger including Genryusai. I don't see anything she has that can counter his bankai. Just like even Kenpachi being the "strongest" doesn't mean he'd curb stomp all captains of the entire gotei 13.

@@dariusd2003 zaraki is already known as the strongest captain. And unohana said I am stronger than anybody. Meaning anyone she fights she is stronger than keyword anyone. She stopped fighting because no one could kill her.

In physical strength and swordsmanship Unohana trumps Yama but in shikai/bankai, Yama trumps her. Yama's body is full of scars yet Unohana has only ever been wounded once according to her own words(ch.523 pg.17). So I think it's more than safe to say she'd win in the sword skills department.

@@kanoreese1253 I disagree, Yamamoto is physically superior, maybe she's a more proficient Zanjutsu master, sure but that's it. Also, from what we've seen from Yamamoto in "fights", he almost always just stands there and takes whatever damage his opponent sends his way so the scars don't mean anything bro. He stood there and allowed Driscoll to strike him with lightning, he did the same with young Chojiro, did a similar thing against both Shunsui and Ukitake, same with base Aizen, Ayon, Wonderweiss and so on. The one time Yamamoto actually went on the offensive was against Yhwach, and even then, he only used Bankai just to spite him and display the difference in their power... He was being emotional about Chojiro's death, he clearly was already stronger even in base... he perception blitzed Loyd and rescued Zaraki even before Loyd could realize what was happening, he had enough speed to decapitate him at any point he wanted. He never evades or even bothers to block, hence all those scars on his body and the lore behind his name is a pun on how his scars are shaped based on how many scars he has, he eventually settled for Genryusai officially from Eijisai, Juujisai to Genryusai to honour Sasakibe. Meaning, it was so "normal" for him to get scars that other Shinigami started giving him nicknames based on the scars. Unohana on the other hand fights with no openings, even her bankai is a reflection of that where blades of blood are omnidirectionally shielding her from any attacks. Yamamoto's bankai on the other hand just compliments his challenging nature, if you're powerful enough to reach him, go right ahead, as his reiatsu cloaks him in at least 15million degrees of heat. So when you do touch him, you know he ALLOWED you to do so, making all those scars trophies of sorts in a twisted way. It's just a difference in choice of fighting style, not a measure of their skill or strength. If anything, the fact that Yamamoto is still alive after receiving all those scars (supposedly some from Unohana) proves my point... from the Chojiro fight, he just stands there in base with openings and allows him to attack him with his best hit in Bankai, assuming he did the same with Unohana, then yeah it makes sense that the scars on his body are bigger than Chojiro's because she's stronger but it also means that, had he even released his shikai or even tried to fight back or defend, her best attack wouldn't even have nicked him... Yes, she has no scars, but it simply means Yamamoto never actually fought back (assuming they fought), because we know that he literally takes souls whenever he fights seriously, she would have at least some burn scars on her body if they truly fought. They aren't comparable in power, maybe skill but not physical strength, reiatsu or anything otherwise.

I figured it was central 46 that put the rest down. To weaken Yammamoto. My thoughts were central 46 didn't seem to care for thr og team, just used them. He was a thug, but Yammamoto had integrity. Which makes sense why shihoin and kuchki liked him, but do did commoners. The government was pretty aggressive in making sure more Yammas weren't made, and so instead of the og gotei getting reincarnated, for thanks for them Saving the day, they go to hell. But just my thoughts.

@@charminglady2011 lol, had to cap his population

​@@charminglady2011Central 46 doesn't seem to be strong at all they were all killed by Aizen.

True, but they have orders from the royal realm right? ​@@Timmy-mi2ef

Despite Isane's normally meek demeanor, there are times when a fiercer side is hinted at. She was one of the lieutenants who charged at Ichigo on Sokyoku Hill, she wanted to attack Aizen as he was leaving only to be restrained by Unohana, and she also wanted to fight the Exequias after arriving in Hueco Mundo, only to once again be held back by her captain. This leads me to think that Isane does have a fighter in her buried underneath her shy, self-conscious exterior, and Unohana was able to pick up on this.

@@DoctorWortspieler That’s what I always thought too.

I think they byakuya was referring kain due to looks.

For me, I thought that his battle with Bambietta was a temporary distraction from his overwhelming desire for revenge, but when he defeated her, his renewed focus on taking down Ywach activated the curse.

Yeah, I thought he wanted to kill Yhwach out of revenge for Yamamoto and not strictly to protect Soul Society

I mean, you can have both.

if we have learned anything, its that mangakas cannot write sequel series at all,without destroying the legacy of the main characters. ie by making them weak or irrelevant or dumb or "out of practice". prequel series would be great.

@@jadenwilliams4807 that would be the idea situation but it is taking so long to get the hell arc. I can see it being a part of the hell arc but I’d really prefer Kubo take his time with it versus throwing it into an already crowded story arc.

@@blacklikethesun my issue with some anime sequels is that they basically just do the same thing over again but with the previous protagonist’s kid or relative. That is OK but I prefer when they use it to add onto the world building, lore or add new themes that weren’t previously explored.

@@MIZZ.BLKNRD yeah

Well, Yamamoto is well know for have the strongest bankai and the Kenpachi's for being the strongest fighters, my theory is that Unohana is the one who cause the first scar in Yamamoto's head.

To me the masm thing is more about how much damage as being inflicted in Nel not exact her mask alone, but remodeling the mask shoud not be a problem if someone does not try to break it completely in one go.

Yama was ancient by the time the gotei was founded. But definitely no where near so as Ichibe

It was probably given either by Yachiru or Ikomikidomoe.
