MAYURI & NEMU KUROTSUCHI vs PERNIDA PARNKGJAS - Bleach Battle ANALYSIS | The Never-Ending Dream 

Could this be the best Schutzstaffel fight of them all? What's your opinion on Mayuri's last big showcase? Let me know!

Mayuri carried the Shinigami on his back during this war.

Mayuri’s next bankai modification is a back brace from having to carry everyone in the blood war

The fact that Mayuri wasn't considered a war power is a crime.

It may just be me, but ive noticed Kubo often seems to draw Mayuris hands in a very unique way. Lots of focus when hes holding objects, and his fingers are often elongated and strangely twisted, such as when he displays the "time drug" bottle to Szayel. Perhaps its only fitting that his finale is fighting a giant mutated version of the Hamburger Helper glove....

It has always amazed me how Kubo, within the last arc ALONE, got a character that was introduced early on in the series and made him become SUCH a badass. And it was kinda out of nowhere! Who would have thought, before the final arc began, that Mayuri would be the MVP of the arc? And I mean it! HE did so many things that he himself was more important than a whole army would've been.

It's weird because I hate with a passion when Aizen is like "Ah yes, all according to my plan so I win" but I absolutely love whenever Mayuri is like "Ah yes, but science so I win"

That was fun! For me, I don’t think the way Mayuri treats Nemu was retconned at all. He has stated that Nemu was built from his own cells, and has treated her as an extension of his own body, and he’s very detached from and abusive of his own body. It would also seem that he’s been punishing her for his own feelings.

Only someone as insane as mayuri could take down syzel and pernida those two opponents basically felt damn near immortal and unbeatable.

Anyone else notice that Ichigo holds his Shinigami sword in his right hand and holds the Quincy sword in his left? There's definitely some symbolism of the soul king and how the right hand took the side of the Shinigami and the Left hand took the side of the Quincies. It'd definitely showing that the Soul King probably possessed the Shinigami abilities in his Right hand and had Quincy abilities in his left. Definitely a grim foreshadowing of Ichigo potentially becoming the next Soul King.

Nemu coming to help Mayuri kinda plays into one of the themes of the TYBW Arc - you can't really fight alone all the time and you're GOING to need other people to help you out. Same thing with Ise and Kyoraku, the Arrancar showing up to fight together with the Shinigami, and the final battle with Ichigo being helped by several characters (mostly Aizen and Ishida), as he alone can't defeat Yhwach.

Dude was the MVP of the TYBW arc.

My favorite scene of this fight is when Mayuri leaps off the building with Nemu standing behind him. But aside from the numerous plot holes left in this series, Kubo did a fantastic job in the character development and Mayuri, I think, was one of the best. From being introduced as a captain, to finding out he was a criminal, to underling, to self-centered flamboyant character, to someone so mentally defeated that he talks to the dead, to savior. Mayuri has always been in my top 5.

Mayuri is one those characters that I hate but also like to some extent. He’s more psychotic and evil than most actual villains of the show but he’s allowed to be a captain. That alone showcases the lack of pure good and evil in bleach. There’s really good and bad people on both sides.

The thing I'm most excited about Nemu character is that now with Nemu #8 is Kazui and Ichika's age, so she's basically perfect (lol) to interact with our new main cast

I think this is the first time I see Mayuri in emotional distress this probably the most pain he ever experienced, for a short moment he actually sad

One of my favorite fights in Bleach, it was damn near perfect. Mayuri and Pernida pulled out so much crazy shit on each other in an intense battle of tactics and ingenuity. Also really love Mayuri's character development towards Nemu during the fight, he had to admit to himself his feeling of fatherhood over her and that he really does deeply value Nemu.

Chapters: Intro - 00:00 Fight Overview - 04:13 Zaraki's Defeat - 07:27 The Left Arm Revealed - 12:47 The Real Fight Begins - 20:24 Mayuri's New Bankai - 29:18 Mayuri & Nemu's Relationship - 34:19 Nemu's Power - 43:13 Nemu Falls - 48:07 Pernida is Destroyed - 51:52 Mayuri, The Hero - 55:58

I remember when this was weekly, everyone thought Mayuri was going to die. In fact it was like they almost wanted it to happen.

Mayuri is so slept on. One of the most clutch and creative captains. He has some of the best fights because its never about who has more power. Who can outsmart and think ahead more steps. The contingency plan GOAT! Batman could never lol

This is honestly my favorite fight in the series. I went from feeling meh about Mayuri, whilst still liking him, to loving him and Nemu so much more. Also, I'd like to point out that I think he's simply been trying to teach himself true love for something this whole time. Namely in the only way that someone like him could understand. Through a daughter that he created himself purely through spiritual science.

Saw the notification. Immediately clicked. THE ANALYSIS IS FINALLY HERE. WOOOOO!!!

Nemu has always been one of my favorite characters in the series. It was nice seeing her evolve (no pun intended) throughout the story and helping Mayuri become a better person.

The battle analysis I’ve been waiting for!!! Thanks Tommo🔥🔥🔥🔥 This fight will be awesome in the anime!!

This is the best fight in all of Bleach for me, Mayuri is next level genius, id love to see Mayuri vs Askin and Urahara vs Pernida

I love mayuri as a junior scientist I can appreciate his logic and/but I love that he realized he’s got actual feelings in the TYBW

This is my favorite fight in all of Bleach and I feel it was a real showcase of the best the series has to offer. It is a fight that tells a real story, it is full of dynamic and creative fast-paced action, all three of the major characters involved in it get fantastic development, it has a lot of underlying themes and fascinating imagery and the artwork is a stunning mixture of both the grotesque and the beautiful. A truly wonderful battle and some of Kubo's very best work.

The fact that makes this dick so good is that it's Mayuri, the epitome of iteration, of progress, vs the literal left arm of the soul king, THE bastion of progress. It could only be so for Mayuri and Nemu to be pushed this far for this and it was amazing.

This might actually be my favorite fight in the entire series. It has everything: Mayuri (my favorite character), a really strange opponent with a deadly ability and interesting concept that gives Kubo a chance to really go in with the creepy body horror, fantastic battle choreography and lots of smartly-written combat, actual stakes and Mayuri having to _try_ more than ever and being in real danger, an altered Bankai that fits Mayuri somehow even more, and the entire backstory of Nemu which is actually quite beautiful (and sad with her death) and shows some sort of growth for Mayuri as a character, and a non-villain _character death_ that actually has emotional resonance for the reader and the characters involved. It is amazingly written, some of Kubo's most impressive and original artwork, and tells a surpringly deep story that actually kind of humanizes the least humane Captain of the Gotei 13 and makes him an even more fascinating character. I do disagree slightly with the idea that Mayuri's achievement may be behind that of Urahara's with Ururu and Jinta -- I think this battle actually shows that Nemu was actually more developed in many ways compared to Jinta or Ururu. Not only does she show that she is just as much a complete person with her own agency as those two, but she also displays that she is significantly more powerful than Kisuke's creations. Also considering the apparent age difference (Nemu appearing noticeably older than Jinta and Ururu) and the fact that we know Mayuri had been working on the project for some time and that them growing up is a major part of the experiment (with previous failures), it stands to reason that Nemu was very likely created before Jinta and Ururu, suggesting that Mayuri *did* finally achieve something before Urahara... even if Urahara did ultimately create similar beings himself too. That in itself would be a victory to Mayuri. Though the most important part is that the entire thing showed that he isn't totally devoid of empathy and despite his treatment of her in the past, Mayuri had a deep affection for his "daughter" in his own way.

I usually do not comment on the videos, but this one is really worth it. In my opinion, this is atleast in the top 3 battles of the whole series and you did it justice with your analysis.

To be fair to Mayuri's other fights, I've seen a lot of people adore his answer to Szaylaporro. The 8th espada had some absurdly powerful abilities, and until he fights Mayuri he acts untouchable. A lot of the Szaylaporro fight goes nowhere because the people he fights just don't have a way of threatening him. Mayuri handily counters his voodoo doll ability in a way that feel ridiculously, but beleivable for him when you think about it. He replaced a severed arm *during* his fight with Uriu, and disassembles his entire body to save himself. Replacing his vital organs doesn't feel too out-there when he's already done all this, and by doing so he forces the fight to progress. He forces Szaylaporro to lose his cool, and fight at a pace he wasn't used to. It felt like a fitting conclusion to a fight with an espada who slowly and gruelingly ripped the protagonists apart.

this fight right here opened my eyes to how amazing of a character mayuri is. he's quite literally one of the most evil characters in the entire series who just happens to be on the "good" side (though there really aren't good sides in bleach). he's so comically villainous and his fights are so fun, i can't help but have him as my favorite character

Mayuiri is the definition of “knowledge is power”. Pure tactician

Love how badass Nemu was in this fight, RIP to her 😭

One of my favourite Bleach speeches - “There is no such thing as perfect in this world …”

I never saw it as “evolution”. I always thought it was more like powers slowly returning back to Pernida. The breaking of the chains was basically unlocking that power. The longer the fight, the more powers, memory and personality comes back to Pernida

Although sad about Nemu its nice to see Mayuri get the gratitude he deserves (one of the MVPs in the war)

These battle breakdowns/analysis have to be my favorite pastimes. Listen to them in the car and basically everywhere else. Best series on youtube my friend, keep up this anazing work. This is what sets you aside from the other Bleach RU-vidrs I watch, although you’re all great 😂🙏🏾

Thank you for finally covering this. I've waited for so long

The funny thing is all these characters have insanely ridiculous abilities and hax but when Mayuri pulls an invention out of nowhere people think it's weird he was prepared for that. He's literally in a league of his own, even if you take in count Urahara. No one is as unique as Mayuri in all aspects

This is one of my favorite fights in the entirety of Bleach. I’m really glad that you made this analysis video.

if you go back to turn back the pendulum arc you’ll find mayuri studying a book that’s titled “left arm of the soul king” on a panel it’s really foreshadowed for sure

Absolutely fantastic video, you really covered everything that I loved about this fight! Really did have some of my favorite moments from TYBW, it did wonders for both Mayuri and Nemu as characters, and even at the start it was always just so entertaining seeing Mayuri and Kenpachi interacting with each other, as basically polar opposites.

You have a wonderful gift for narration. I was enjoying every second of this video and I can't wait for this fight in the anime!

My Favorite was when Pernida said, “Your going to need to do better then that Kurotsuchi” Mayuri “Da Fuk did you just say? Oh no this battle can’t keep going with Pernida Continuing to Evolve especially sounding like Kenpachi now.”

The thing about this battle is whe see that in the end Mayuri come to love (in a father way) his creation (Nemu) and when he see Nemu being destroyied he finaly understand dispair.

Mayuri won by letting Nemu be a fucking carcinogen? That's fucking dark science right there.

I feel like he’s been putting videos out so fast but no dip in quality. Keep it up

Proof that "Talk to the hand" would be very difficult on account of the time it takes for the hand to become understood.

Yep Best Fight, the fact it took Kenpavhi down and two from Squad Eleven were in Awe of how Nemu saved everyone was amazing

Just stumbled across this channel and it's perfect. You do a great job of explaining everything. Great watch. Will be staying around and watching more!

Just recently started watching the channel and to hear you asking people to sub at such lower numbers to where you’re are now, nothing but respect! Definitely quality content!

This matchup analysis I've been waiting for. Let's go!!!! 😁

The best Schutztaffel fight for sure and one of the best fights in the series where we can really feel the sense of danger and consequences. Maiyuri really has some of the best fights, monologues and abilities, what a great character. But even Nemu was used very well here against a formidable very unorthodox opponent.

Yes I've wanted so patiently for this video. This was the fight that I loved the most.

Incredible video as usual. No one does battle analysis better!

Great wiork MrTommo of a great fight. Fab video - thank you so much.

Loving these videos! Absolutely gonna binge all of them!

I believe Nemu during SSA was stagnant which is why Myuri was cruel to her but after SSA and her interaction with the outside world she once again started to evolve which improve Myuri behavior towards her. Well that how I interpreted it

Love these longer videos Tommo-taicho, keep up the good work 😤

Great discussion! I loved this fight!

Finally I was so looking forward for this video!

This battle is my favorite in the entire series. There is a youtube vid that shows the whole fight that I watch once a year so that I keep refreshed on this masterpiece.

100% the best written fight in the series. This fight actually made me fall in love with Bleach.

This fight was the moment Nemu stepped into my top ten characters in Bleach. She was on my radar from jump and how a character exits a story, to me, speaks louder than how they enter it. And she went out in dazzling fashion!! I enjoyed that the final battles included three ladies who usually don’t fight (Nano, Nemu and Orihime) and they end up shining brightly!!

Lmaoo when he pulled out a pic of homies dead grandpa fucking lost my shit back in the day 🤣

Just wanted to say I've been making my way through a bunch of your videos and I've really been enjoying them. Great analysis work all around 😄

10/10 video, didn't really revisit this fight since publication, and now I'm hyped beyond reason for the anime to adapt this 🔥

Mayuri’s struggle probably comes from creating the things he utilizes. Like you said, he changed his organs around in an hours time. It’s the definition of “he makes it look easy, but if you saw how much he prepared and put into making it look easy, you wouldn’t think it was easy”. Maybe a scene or two of him experimenting on himself will capture the core of that thought.

What an incredible frickin fight. Clean, fluid; complex yet simple.

The one we have been waiting for!!!

been waiting for this vid😍

I have been waiting for this video for a while.

Man, your RU-vid about to blow up next month. and for the coming couple years. I cant wait to hear you deconstruct the animated fights.

Mayuri has been my favourite Captain sons his introduction and he has truly grown. Ranging from helping Uryu & Renji to showing his confidence in Ichigo's victory over Aizen to being the true MVP of the TYBW He's the best parent in Bleach nor the most noble or. honorable Shinigami, but he's learning to be more humane just as Nemu was.

Amazing... great perspective!👌

Yes! Been waiting on this one

Looking forward to seeing how fast the Anime coming out doubles Tommo's sub count.

Out of all the analysis videos, this is my favorite thus far. Mayuri isn't my favorite character but I really enjoyed the rawness of his story and character.

Bleach is such a good series. I want to see the universe expanded so badly

Great work, Captain!

Now that this video is out I am now excited for the eventual Nemu character analysis video; whenever that happens!

She's his child and her learning things if she didn't die may have signaled to him the worst day for most parents when their child may want to take the next steps even though of course Mayuri would have never let it happen, but it may have been an interesting growth arc for his character to learn to let go and not always control everything as well if bleach does get continued in the hell arc/forward on which may happen with nemuri and he creates a new child.

Ah yes!! I've been waiting for this!

Ufff gonna enjoy this one!! Mayuri one of my favorite character, and this fight is one of my favorite fights in tywa! Awesome stuff❤

wow amazing analisis. thank you again for your videos

Bro this vid on top of just finishing TotallyNotMarks Substitute Shinigami arc review...I can't believe how good I'm eating today as a Bleach stan

Just a great voice and rhythm to your Grammer, very nice to listen to

Bruuuuh I have been waiting for this I loved this fight

Your videos butter my biscuits thank you

An alive umbrella shield is pretty messed up but what a smart way to tell how bad the damage he's not taking is

This could've definitely been the best Schutzstaffel fight in the war. Mayuri was cool af the whole fight and I think Pernida was the type of enemy that only he could've defeated (maybe Urahara too considering what his bankai does). I can see what you mean about Kubo planning this fight out because the way it flowed just really made sense. Oh, when you mention that Mayuri was not as "evil" in this arc as when he was introduced, I would attribute that to Uryu kicking his ass previously. Mayuri underestimated his opponent and lost because of it - what kind of genius scientist would he be if he didn't learn a lesson from that? Anyways I enjoyed the video! Thank you for making it.

1hour😍 thanks alot sir MrTommo 🔝

Hello Mr.Tommo I really appreciate the work you put in your video they are very organized and informative could you please take a request of a top 10 shikai video

Finally!!! Thank you!!!

Maybe Mayuri's mistreatment of Nemu is just him trying to push her growth through extreme stress? He was a god trying to create his own man. If Nemu developing her own sense of self and rebelling against him would prove that she was more than just his puppet.

i really like listening videos as they help me to refresh my memory as you recap and review. This has me thinking will you ever visit Kubo's dropped series Zombie Powder. I thought about it when you mentioned body horror and i thought Kubo could make an interesting horror story.

Finally, I was wondering when this video was coming.

Mayuri made Bleach for me. The most memorable fight in any battle shonen for me is still to this day the Mayuri vs Szayelaporro one. The amount of asspulls from both sides is just *chef's kiss*. It is the quintessential Bleach fight. Exact counter vs exact counter, ad infinitum. Mayuri w/ preptime is perhaps the most overpowered Bleach character.

Damn tommo, I was about to go to sleep. Now I have to make some coffee so i can stay up for this.
