Mild correction: The 9th Espada wasn't a Vasto Lorde. He was actually a Gillian before becoming an arrancar. Grimmjaw was an adjuchas. Implied everyone under the 4th Espada wasn't a Vasto Lorde. Yumichika basically insults his Zanpakto by misnaming it and the spirit gets butthurt and limits its release, which works for Yumichika because he is in a division that is melee oriented and he doesn't want the shame of having a kido type sword.

Quigley was the only Quincy with a functioning brain when it came to basic Quincy powers.

Actually, there is reincarnation in Bleach, when you die in Soul Society, you are reborn on Earth, so there is a constant cycle going on. In fact, in case people aren't aware, Bleach takes a lot of inspiration from the Buddhism Samsara Reincarnation cycle.

Slight correction. Yumachika actually doesn’t like his zanpakto because it’s kido based and he’s in the 11th division who prefer pure melee zanpakto. So he calls it orange peacock when it’s true name is blue peacock. It doesn’t like orange because in color theory orange is the opposite color of blue. Edit: It’s called Wisteria Peacock, which is a light purple, and not Orange Peacock. Wisteria is the zanpaktos lease favorite color not orange. I think as a kid I just assumed wisteria was a type of orange because of its relationship to blue. And it’s been so long I didn’t actually think I needed to look it up. It just stood out to me, which with how close I was to the actual reason.

Great vid, and yeah its weird ranking races based on average levels since they do vary alot. Its pretty hard to rank them since races introduced earlier in the series is gonna seem weaker. Also note, Yamamoto and Unohana are way older the 2000 years old. We know Yama was already old 2000 years ago and Unohana was around at that time too making them both well over 2000, probably ATLEAST 5000

a good definition of transcendent being is being hybrid this is one of the reason aizen has great interest on ichigo before he was born as ichigo was born as a hybrid or transcendent being also why aizen wants to combine both hollows and soulreaper powers you need to be hybrid

I'm glad that your transaction to diversifying your content seems to be going well. Rooting for you dude

I didn’t see the (bleach) in the title at first and I was VERY worried for a sec

As a bleach meganerd I could be nitpicky, but I choose to enjoy things with people as opposed to fuss and gatekeep. And speaking of enjoying, I enjoyed this video!

I loved that you hit all that Spanish pronunciation perfectly. I can tell you were really trying lol. "What other name starts with Yhw?" It's an allusion to YHWH, Yahweh, Jehova, made German to fit the Quincy theme. Pronounced "Yu-ha-vach"

12:54 none of the Espada were Vasto Lorde beside Ulquiorra, Halibel, Starrk and Barragan with Barragan being a questionable case since he is an ancient hollow that work different from current hollow

I appreciate this video so much. I know you tried keep the spoilers to a minimum while explaining each race which is pretty tough. As an anime only fan, this video was thoroughly informative and fun to watch despite having to skip around the end to avoid spoilers. Keep up the good work and make more bleach videos like this one. 😁

nick. Yama is alot older. In the latest ep the Chojiro flash back was 2000 years ago. Unohana is also a similar age. Shunsui and Ukitake are around 1000 years ago. This is cuz Unohana had her fight with kid Kenny like 400-500 yrs ago

Love this, please do more videos on bleach ! Love your explanations. Straight to the point and concise

Putting Hollows so low whilst putting Shinigami higher than Arrancar because the Captains killed them is kind of weird.

dude this was a great video. it had almost no spoilers and it still felt like it was giving a full story

I've learned from my anthropology class "races are always created for the purpose of power, to put one group down and raise another up" if you know the secret shinigami history then you know exactly how true this is even in Bleach

****Spoilers for the TYBW and CFYOW Novel**** Great video Nick, just a small detail, Ichigo and the Soul King are more of hybrids rather than transcendent beings. This a difficult topic and a very big topic of discussion for many years in the community because the term “transcendent” only comes up once in the series and is completely ditched because is very hard to pin point. The only two people ever called transcendent beings are Ichigo and Aizen in a very specific situation and its mainly used as a plot point to indicate that Aizen’s reiatsu is above most shinigamis and they’re not able to sense him and when Ichigo comes back from the Dangai his is in another level of reiatsu where Aizen can’t feel him; The whole transcendent topic is very hard and convoluted so most fans just disregard it. Now as in hybrids, these are supposed to be the “strongest” race of all because they’re a combination of Hollows, Shinigamis, Humans and Quincies in one and there are 3 and a half hybrids, Ichigo, the Soul King, Hikone and Ginjo Kugo (I said 3 and a half because Ginjo doesn’t have Quincy blood but is still consider a hybrid). They’re the strongest race because they are able to use and sometimes combine their 3 powers. I don’t want to give you examples because they’re spoilers for the TYBW and the novels but if you’re interested just look up Ichigo’s first fight against Ywach or Hikone’s fight in Can’t Fear Your Own World novels. One last thing about the other two, Aizen and Ywach, Ywach is the Quincy King so he should be more catalogued as part of the Quincies but later he kind of becomes a hybrid by absorbing and gaining his father’s power. Aizen is still a shinigami but due to the Hogyoku he could possibly change himself to be different races but that is just mainly speculation.

Also of note Hikone Ubuginu from Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World Novels *might* count as a fifth Transcendent Being. Maybe. It was an artificial Hybrid meant to mimic what Ichigo Kurosaki was naturally in order to Usurp the Soul King at least, and it has exhibited the traits of the 3 major races, as well as a pinch of Soul King (via Fullbringer) thrown in for good measure. Whether it is transcendent or not is really down to how successful of a creation you think Hikone is.

Love the video and keep up the great work nick

Glad you covering bleach bro! I feel like there’s not too many bleach content creators out there or at least ones I can listen to for 30 mins😂

a video idea i have is to break down fights (for any anime), maybe talk about why they use certain strategies, what you would use instead, how it would change the outcome of the story

As far as the most powerful race I would give it to Shinagami/Hollow because both are just way to versitle and op with their abilities. They're also heavily tied to one another as shinagami can gain Hollow powers and hollows can gain shinagami powers. So vizards and Arrancar aren't separate species just shinagami or hollow with the power of the other. A Zanpaktu spirit is the soul of the shingami. I would place the quincy next, they only appeared so powerful in the war because of outside power. All of the sternritter were artificially buffed in power by Yhwach and Jugram. Yhwach can empower them with a shrift while being around Jugram makes you stronger just by being near him. Even their main defensive power blut vene is controlled by Yhwach something said by Quilge. Then full bringers who are just humans with a piece of the soul king. So they're not that special imo as all the other races can possess a piece of the soul king.

Great video, I think it was said that the top 4 were vasto lordes and starkk was the only vasto lorde that became an arrancar before Aizen found him, but the others were made arrancars in their gillian or adjuwhatchamacallit stage

BEASTLY breakdown! Been wondering about a few things and just restarted bleach from the jump so this is a great "filler" episode. Lol. Keep up the great bro

Just discovered you’re channel! I love it so much! 😊

youre the best anime researcher on youtube

I think I'm in love with your channel... Your analysis is so factually amazing

Very entertaining video.. I thought you only read up until the TYBW arc, to follow the anime, but sounds like you read the whole thing 😄 keep up the bleach content 🙏🏽

06:35 IIRC kirio hikifune was mentioned in the TBTP Arc which animated.

Love your content keep it up

I wanna know what kind of conversations the head captain had with ryujin jakka. And let's not even stop there. I'd like to see lite novels that explore every captain and how they met their zanpakuto, trained with them etc.

This videos so cool, very coherent and informative. Kudos

the title without context 💀💀💀💀

This video was great! Can you do a deep dive video on the Bleach lore? The history of the Soul King? :)

I truly love your bleach content 💝 I feel like a teenager again ✨

Slight correction: it’s never confirmed which espada were vasto Lorde. Grimjow now could also have become one after the flashback.

Bro your consistency has been amazing! Keep up the good work and I can't wait for your next video

There is at least 2 more races: The race in the hellverse which was briefly mentioned in the video since they are yet to be explored and Komamura's race of the beast realm which will soon be mentioned but very briefly once the second cour comes back.

*chuckles* Don't worry, Nick. Bleach fans are pretty chill. We're just super defensive of our anime because it's constantly shit on by everyone and their mother. Also couple of corrections on the Hollows. It's pronounced Ad-hooch-us. Also Menos Grande was one specific Hollow but is commonly and incorrectly used to refer to Gillian. Gillian, Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde are just Menos. Correction on Yumichika. He calls his Zanpakuto by the wrong intentionally to make it a physical type Zanpakuto because he doesn't want booted out of his squad of physical Zanpakuto users. By calling it by its true name, it manifests as a Kido type Zanpakuto. It's pronounced as Yoo-hah-bahk. Also commonly just called Yuha

I can’t wait to wacth this war arc!!

Quincy looking crazy op Major!

Great video without spoilers!!! ❤❤❤

Wicked video dude. Quick question though, would you be able to do a Yachiru Kusajishi explained or you know nothing video, pretty please???

Bleach is pretty good. I made it to episode 145 a few days ago. Hopefully we make it to at least 300 in the next week

Slight correction: Bleach's chakra/nen is Reiryoku, but Reishi is not. Reishi is spiritual matter can exist in Soul Society & Hueco Mundo, but can also exist in nature of the human world. Kishi is regular matter in the world of Bleach. So in a way, Quincies pump matter into their body which is crazy. XD

I love it Nick!!!!!!!!!!!! Bleach content I need moreeee!!!!

I freaking love this all this info without having to rewatch bleach

ok now this is a really good video

Thanks for making your videos longer

as a D&D fan,i find it kinda funny that you feel the need to explain what RACE is in the context of fantasy/sci-fi. like,it just seems like SUPER common knowledge to me.XD

Another awesome video as always! I have alot of questions lol but my main one is why (and how) is Chad a Fullbringer?

You forgot about the "Whatever-The-Hell-Aizen is" Race.

You and tekking101 are my favorite youtubers fr bringing life to everything

Yeah a deeper dive into like everything would be cool

Every time you say “please …. For me” it makes me wish I could sub, but I’m already subscribed haha

LOVED IT

3:39 Bro became Kaido for a second there 😭

Super cool video, hope you do one on hollows later!

Great video, however the only known vasto lorde espada before aizen was Barragan, Ulquiorra, and stark to my knowledge

This is my first time watching a video over on this channel. I saw the thumbnail and was like, this looks familiar but the channel name never came to me until I saw your face.

I’m on the list of people getting back in so this was perfect 👍🏽 🎉

Love bleach and ur vids

Nick giving us the finger for 40% of the lesson 😂😂. Good video tho

Interesting specifications. I usually just say there are 3 races: -Human -Soul -Hollow And 4 hybrid races: -Quincy -Fullbringer -Arrancar -Vizard

Not the best title Edit: I know that he addressed it in the video but this was made when I saw te titel before watching

*insert GIF of Cartman running thru school hallway yelling "Race War!"*

yay another bleach vid

FYI, hikone is also a transcendent being, great vid Nick

You should do the groups and power system of magi cause it’s a very interesting one.

For iconicity's sake id love to hear about the Hollow Techniques like Zero and Sonido, but Im also gonna take the cue to propose to rank and explain the 7 Warlods of the sea

Awesome video my dude, just for future reference The Quincy Kings name is pronounced like Youha really weired I know but people care about that kind of stuff 😅

Keep it up bro

Okiara actually Is showed us That hollows actually have 2 releases but he is the only one who knew about it because he is apparently trained more Then anyone else

Kyoka Suigetsu... Has the properties of both rubber and gum!! .. Oops wrong verse

Omg the human bit 😂

"Races Ranks and explained" isn't the best title ngl might wanna start with Bleach

Thank god you put Bleach in the title

I watched the intro and was like okay cool, tuned out then heard him talking about high elves and I'm like ??????? There are high elves? They helped humans after the lizard men??? What? Then I realized it's an ad lmao

Good thing he included bleach in parenthesis

races ranked, pretty fitting for the current arc

The bounts? Easily one of the best filler arcs

This is the spiciest title I've read in awhile XD

For the fact of becoming a Vasto Lorde , it seems that immense power or an unusual drive or goal can transform an adjuchas into a Vasto Lorde , as we see in unmasked , with the short about Ulquiorra even tho I don't know if this is canonical .

That title almost got me for a second

“Nick ranks races” I dare you to try that shit out lmaooo

dive deep brother!!!

Ichigo in the 200m dash lol

I thank you for no spoilers

Great video, You should change the title tho 🤣

I forget if the bount guys are a race of their own or not but other than that uncertainty the video was incredible

Races ranked and explained. I think you should go back and put the word Bleach in front of that. Yes its behind it but it reads bad in that order. And I just go to the title part so gg Nick, ya got us

Woah woah woah, we don’t wanna go ranking races boiz

I hope you do all those extra vids

Big correction a arrancar is a hollow with a zanpakuto akin to a captain , a full bringer is just a human with a piece of a soul king in their soul, a Quincy is a human with a piece of ywach soul

Loved the video can u make a video that talks about transending beings

The 26 Elite Quincy are not the only Quincy in that army and the not 29 elites get there face stomped by most shinigami

The only Vasto Lorde in the Espada are 1-4 + 8 (divided his soul). #9 is the only Gillian, all the rest are Adjuchas.

Hierro can be used by adjuchas and vasto lorde aswell seen in the harribel flashback
