But didnt aizen say that abilities maybe op but its trash if your target has higher reiatsu? Does that only apply on shikai or does it also apply to bankai?
@@jadefrenance6373 Shinji is one of top tier. His riatsu is captain level. Do you think many people will be able to negate that? Plus he was able to fool Aizen it's just Aizen is very smart.
Kensei is my favorite character. His speed feats, reaction speed, the utility of his Zanpakuto, and his comfort with multiple ranges of combat is incredible. People do not realize his Shikai and Bankai are compressed like Ichigo and unique like Shunsui for its dual weapon usage and the additional comfort in weapon shapeshifting for situational benefits. People also don’t consider the power of a slash from his bankai. An explosive slash from his knuckle blades is devastating and hax in its own right. If senbonzakura for example is flying towards him all he needs to do is hold his fist up and it will disperse the attack.
I think it's overlooked that Lisa actually became the Squad 8 captain in the epilogue. Not totally sure if that warrants her being pushed up at least higher than Mashiro, but it's at least a point for her
I feel sad that almost all Vizards are so underrated and have so less screen time, despite having very interesting characteristics. Shinji has a very noticeable position in the Past arc: Aizen's captain (and as you mentioned, the only one to discover Aizen's intentions), and is close with Urahara. Not mentioning his unique abilities, intelligence and leadership. The plot afterwards could have utilized him much more (though the anime version did give him more screen time by describing him as much more resistant to the initial Hollowfication & managed to overpower Tosen at the scene). Mashiro is another Visard I find interesting. With her mask on she's probably second only to Yoruichi speaking of physical combat abilities. I like the combination of her personality & the fact she easily mastered hollowfication (which reminds me the kind of peer at school who is less sophisticated / freshman at life, but gets 95% or above in every single quiz and exam).
I hate that so many characters were wasted potentials, especially Vizards. We dont know the exact powers of many of them, some of them do not have even zanpakuto names or powers revealed. I just hate it, why introduce cool looking characters without any explanation about their powers whatsoever.
@@otislloyd-zollinger2579 tybw kensei had much better feats against sternritter m. During the fake kaukura town arch I’d say he didn’t get to shine but still I’d say him
In all seriousness though if Hanataro trained more and got some confidence he'd honestly be a force to be reckoned with. He's already apparently lieutenant level in the novels.
i feel like kubo could’ve made the shinji vs aizen fight way more interesting. they could’ve had it so they start in base with shinji being overpowered then activating shikai and hollowfication. then make aizen reverse each of the affects one by one and retake power.
I agree that Kensei is the most underrated Vizard. He's actually my favorite Vizard. My second favorite is Shinji. Btw nice touch with Shinji's theme on the vid
@@kana22693 the problem with Aizen is that everything about him is way too big of a coincidence. Like he's that incredible by himself but simultaneously has possibly the most broken zanpakuto of all, what are the chances?
Kensei is my favorite character. His speed feats, reaction speed, the utility of his Zanpakuto, and his comfort with multiple ranges of combat is incredible.

His final fight was stupid like ok you are have more speed now and regeneration. But where is the original powers , the black ball thing that surrounds enemy. I always thought this will be a tough fight
@@21_jadhav_rajendra84 if you mean his Bankai Tousen said that Bankai would be inferior to hollow powers. And Komamura had some counter plan to his bankai
Many argue that vizards can't actually use their masks during bankai cause it would cause too much physical strain,their masks already only last 3 minutes so putting the pressure of bankai on it would be to much for them. As it stands only ichigo could pull of this feat due to his zanpakuto being a hollow.
More like Ichigo being a Quincy, Shinigami and Hollow. Shinigami powers from dad, who was a captain from SHIBA noble family. Quincy powers from Yhwach. Hollow powers from Aizen/Yhwach plotting everything by having White get into his mother Quincy. He literally fucking could be a soul king after the last ark if Yhwach corpse didn't become the vessel for the soul king and then probably refused the offer afterwards. And btw most of the anime he only used his Quincy + Hollow powers. His Zangetsu was Quincy powers, which is also explains why he would turn into hollow after using too much Quincy powers, because the Quincy - Shinigami power balance would break and hollow side would go berserk. The hollow Ichigo in his inside word is his Shinigami powers.
I love these Deep Dives into parts of Bleach. You're so right that some characters just have bad match-ups. A lot of bleach characters can be OP if they're fighting the right person.
I don't think it's really possible to rate the Vizards in terms of power because we've not seen most of them use their Shikai and Bankai and they can all probably unleash their hollow masks in conjunction with their sword abilities to give them even more power. They absolutely deserve more development and even their own series because they are so fascinating and have so much unrealized potential.
Don’t think I seen this vid from you, and yeah, it’s top tier. Definitely one of the best on the channel for sure. Thank you for being you Clyde, and look forward to more Bleach content
Action 🙌🏼 These guys trully are underrated n the mentality that “oh he lost his only fight means he’s fodder” is a really stupid mentality n Im glad u sort of touched on that.
I feel like hachi just knows how to use his powers in so many different ways and that makes him dangerous cause he can switch how he fights in the middle of a fight
Could you guys imagine if Shinji is Evil? He wouldn't care about his allies and then using his bankai to soul society and killing everyone or at least giving them a hard time
Shinji saving Ichigo is probably my fav Ichigo moment. Badass with kickass theme. Also would Shinji bankai have stopped Aizen if he used this instead of his Shikai.
They'd honestly just confuse each other. Aizen would be under Shinji's effects, nd Shinji would still be under Aizen's. Aizen could decode Shinji's shikai by simply replicating it's effects on his own perception inversely to cancel it out. In bankai, Shinji would still be seeing what Aizen wants him to, while Aizen is confused asf as to who he should flex on. It'd be a mess if both power wete to be used at the same time.
Would love to see the vizards take more w's in the tybw. Let them flex in the first fight against the sternritter they should have had the best chance against the quincys with their hollowfication and then let the og captains shine once the next battle comes as it happened in the manga.
Another theory I have for why Kensei, Rose, and Shinji never used their masks in the TYBW arc is that they might just be unable to hollowfy while using bankai. That probably sounds really strange when you consider that Ichigo almost always uses his mask while in bankai, but keep in mind that Ichigo has had his hollow powers fused with his Shinigami powers since he was born, so they're essentially in sync with one another. Meanwhile, the vizards all attained their masks from the experiment Aizen put on them, so that might make their hollowfication much more unstable when used in tandem with their bankai- which is already said to require intense concentration to activate. That, or Yamamoto may have simply forbid them from using their masks in order to become captains again, but who knows, Kubo will probably never tell us honestly.
I loved the Vizards! Was really disappointed when there wasn't more of them, even resorting to combing through every fanfiction site I could find for them.
The most dangerous part of Sakanade's ability is that more experienced fighters will have a harder time with it due to their honed and relied-upon instincts that would continuously fail them in such a scenario. Honestly I wonder how much better Shinji would have faired against Aizen without the shonen trope of 'this is what my power is doing to you, now suffer in your powerlessness'. Still wouldn't have won, but he would have had to figure everything out on his own which would have given Shinji; and more importantly Sakanade, a better showing at least.
I love the Vizards, Vizard Ichigo is my fav ver. Of him and back then I always thought the concept was so cool and they were so powerful. Was kinda let down with how they were ultimately utilized in the series but still think they are really cool but yeah really wish they would’ve done more in the show. Also my fav ones were shinji, love and lisa.
This video was fantastic, and does the Vizards justice. I can’t wait to watch you and Seth’s video on Ichigo Vs Naruto whenever it comes out. Thanks again for all your efforts in making incredible content and in keeping Bleach alive.
I don’t know everything about bleach but to be honest I thought that rose was much stronger than love but I think that’s because we sore more of rose then we did of love
Hachi is so difficult to rank, since he’s all about clever use of the sub-optimal Soul Reaper build path… like I wanna say he should maybe be at the bottom or right under Hiyori in terms of actual raw potential, but the fact that he’s so much damned smarter in a fight than any of them but Shinji makes it sort of just as reasonable to put him as number 2… heck, even if Kido seems pretty weaksauce in comparison to zanpakuto as skilltrees go, dude has mad utility and you gotta give him props for pulling out pretty much the biggest spells we ever see.
