Shikai Zangetsu Build 

Imagine being a foot soldier in the middle of a war, and you see a dude at a distance pointing his sword in the sky shouting "Bankai"

Anthony's spiritual pressure wasn't enough to wield the might of Zangetsu

Micheal cutting the jugs of water Nobody: Absolutely nobody: Me: GETSUGA TENSHO!!!!

Im actually happy this popped up in my recommendations

Tell Anthony it gets lighter if he holds it out and shouts "Bankai!"

The question is, would you eventually be able to wield one handed with enough practice? Would swinging it around day after day increase your spiritual pressure? Would you one day achieve your Bankai? I think the obvious answer is yes. Time to get to training.

I didn't realize this was an hour... I just looked at the time at the end and realized I've been watching for 45 minutes.

That's hands down the best Zangetsu I've ever seen. If you made it smaller to be more practical to use that could be a money maker for you.

Who is here after Bleach 2021 TYBW arc

This is no criticism, actually this is one of the best looking Zangetsu's I've seen, but I've worked out why I've never seen a perfect replica. The thickness of the blade. The ricasso and handle/tang part of Zangetsu is as thick as an Ice Hockey stick, it then tapers down to a fine tip as it progresses up the spine, as it does from spine to edge. Every replica I have seen is normally sheet metal because a blade that size is hard to forge. Maybe with the right thickness it could tapered through a machining process. Though this would dramatically increase the weight of the sword I am sure.

FINALLY. All the versions I see of Shikai Zangetsu are always mini versions, which are more like a machete than a giant cleaver. Glad to see a proper scaled one. Congrats as always dude! Thank you.

Ban kai

Someone tryin to rob u (Pulls out of bed with zangetsu) Robber: what the actual FU....

Really well done. It's not like weird looking like some of the other examples made by other people. The proportions are just right. Looks absolutely legit.

Not wobbly and the cleanest looking and most proportional of all zangetsu I’ve seen made. Absolutely amazing work u made me wanna learn to do this so I can have my own zangetsu one day

There are no words for how bad I want a real life zangetsu but I’m poor af

Fire safety tips from Michael "Its important to keep greasy rags away from things making lots of sparks I guess"

I love how you improvise (like the things you used for hold-downs) and do such tremendous work with such rudimentary facilities. Your talent is astounding.

"anime swords are too big to carry"

Such an old nostalgia sword at them times. Now we are coming for a new future of bleach 2021!!

As a big fan of the anime, I must to say, you sir, did an absolutely amazing work at representing Zangetsu, it is very clear to see how much such detailed planning paid off in the end. And even with that level of attention to detail the video managed to be entertaining from start to finish, I watched the 50 min video without even noticing. This one was the first video of yours that I watch, but I assure you, it won't be the last! Keep up the good work!! +1 subscriber :)

What I find so interesting about Ichigo’s Zangetsu, the sweeping curve on the back of the blade on a knife like that is called a “choil”. It’s an area of a knife to rest your finger behind the blade so you have more control when carving or doing other tasks. The design of the sword reminds me of an oversized survival knife.

This is the largest working kitchen knife I have ever seen.

力で斬月を振ろうとするから重いんだ。霊圧で剣を振るのだ！

So this guy is basically Andre of Astora...

Kurosaki Ichigo would be so proud of you.

16:48, Irish houses aren't fire resistant because of a lack of flammables; it's too goddamn damp for anything to burn.

Thank you again for using my cover while smashing stuff! :) This Zangetsu is absolutely amazing, would love to do some epic swings with it! :D

44:21 GETSUGA TENSHOU!!

21:44 onwards is the coolest thing ive seen in a mounted camera view so far, almost seems like resident evil or alan wake. Congratulations man, you invented an awesome new First person view!!!

Time to rewatch Bleach

Sealing in the fumes to stay on track to die at 56 😂. The Irish retirement plan

God this video is so long. 44:20, there, saved you the trouble.

When the light went out, it was Zangetsu's soul being born

It’s bc he made it heavy but in Bleach it’s only 1 pound and also... BLEACH 2021!!!!

my god, every time I see a video from you I get super excited!!!

This is amazing, made my day. Seriously boutta start saving up to buy this from you. On another note, please make Zabuza's Executioner Blade my man. You're the best out there you would kill it.

This is the first video of yours I saw, you are fucking crazy arent you? But more importantly you are just the definition of awesome.

I’m impressed. I will never be able to create something like this, but I enjoyed watching you do it. The metal version of Number One was perfect for the demonstration. Thank you for sharing your skills!

God....DAMN YOU MICHAEL I HAVEN'T LOST THE GAME IN 6 YEARS. I come back to watch one of your older videos in my recommendations and 2 minutes in I already hate/love you again.

should of said "Getsuga Tenshou" when he hit the jugs

We need a Michael mounted camera in all videos from here on out.

Oh god damnit, I can't believe you put that reflection in the window at 2:40 on purpose!

I deeply hold a wish that you'd do some audiobooks for us. Your voice is delightful enough to make committing to an hour plus video not a big deal.

So you step on a huge sharp metal shard, and throw it back on the ground... Well, being how you somehow still have all your fingers and toes, it should be fine. "That's the point, you don't want it to stick out"... Ummm..... I don't think anyone will ever say that in the same sentence again... What a rare choice of words for a sword maker. I love your work, each one is a masterpiece.

The shoulder cam mic picking up the breathing. It's Dwarf Vader!

Hit like if you want a Tensa Zangetsu build. . . . . .

why did I just watch this whole thing, its like 4 am

This man would suit perfectly for the role of Raymond Kenny if there was a 'Watch Dogs' movie.

凄い切れ味ですね！！「天鎖斬月」も見てみたいです。

In Man At Arms, when a Man Swings the sword, the sword shakes, In this, a Man Swings a sword, and the Man shakes

Doc: You have 53 minutes and 30 seconds to live left. Me:

Time to reap some souls ;)

どんなアニメに限らず、日本のアニメがこうやって世界の人々を魅了してるって嬉しいよね。

This is by far the best recreation of zangestu iv ever seen

Yes! I saw the Sword and instantly knew what it was! Favorite anime. XD

That intro works better than stool softener. Great build as always Mike!

44:34 SO BABY NOW YOU FEEL LIKE NUMBER ONE, SHINING BRIGHT FOR EVERYOOOONEEE, LIVING OUT YOUR FANTASY, THEEE BRIGHTEST STAR FOR AAAALLLLL TO SEEEEE Great, thats me going to binge bleach after 6 years

Bro I’m more Impressed with how good of a blacksmith this guy is

Fico muito grato por vc ter feito, otimo video, like garantido, trabalhão pra fazer... o cara merece

I love how the hand is papered on the paper cutter at 2:00

Пацаны вы реально наняли гнома из Варкрафта к вам работать кузнецом?

When you get old an your have money to make your childish fantasies come true. lol love it

As many times as I have watched Mike's videos, I still want to clean and organize his workshop.

You have great metal working skills. Glad I found your channel. Love rustic handmade swords. Keep up the great work

What a masterpiece. I would like to mantle it on my wall.

"I was gonna say the "old fashioned way", but nobody does it this way. This is some nonsense I made up." I know a guy who straightens out antique swords the same way you straighten your plates.

I need this!! I'm mind blown! Amazing beautiful work! I love Bleach and of course he's my favorite character 🖤

I logged in just to hit the like button. This is amazing! congratulations!

Biggest kitchen knife 2017

Imagínate ir con eso a una convención de anime... Serías leyenda

If all the anime giant swords man ever get transported into our universe. They would come looking for this blacksmith to build them weapons

If the apocalypse ever hits, we know where we're gettin' equipped, boys.

I love a lot of types of swords and anime now that I've seen this channel to learn how to make it at home

すごく再現度が高くていいと思います！カッコいい

“Nine millimeters of reflection” Sounds like he’s talking about the pistol, but it’s a sword Bruuuuuuuuh

I was just about to make some food goddamnit

It’s heavy because you are trying to swing the sword with strength. Swing it with spiritual pressure!

Mounting the camera to self shall now be referred to as the "Vader Cam." The re-breather sounds epic from that microphone position lol. Love the vid as always!!

cara eu sou muito fá de bleach ver esse prosseço de criação de uma Zangetsu q maravilhoso

4:40 : what a cute dog! Here, let me go pet it...

30:08 I guess you could say it’s the zanpakuto arc😂

Builder :Taking weeks to build the sword Me: Taking years to build the muscles to actually hold the sword

I am a big bleach anime fan and this sword turned out awesome good job

Shake a plastic bag at the skunk it will run, for some reason they are very afraid of that sound.

このオッサン…！どんだけの霊力を持っているんだ！？

Black Smith Breath First form : Heavy Circle

I love the cut off hand on the paper cutter.

the grinder-mounted camera view was absolutely terrifying... i enjoyed it thoroughly

カッコイイ… 再現度が高い！

That lil shot of the skunk outside was adorable~

Fuck lifting weights this man lifts swords

Damn.. I just love this video. The swords, the skunk... It's so lovely!

How in the name of all that's holy has this masterpiece not sold yet? I'm tempted to sell a kidney and sort this nonsense out.

Ichigo's zanpakuto, the only sword more practical in bankai than in shikai.

In addition to my previous comment: I'd like to see him trying to spin the blade just by using the cloth attached to the sword hilt like White Ichigo did

That should be live action Ichigo’s Zangetsu

Ah the memories... You're 3 days away from mastering Bankai

Your channel is amazing mate .all the best from rainy UK Yorkshire .thanks for all the videos you have uploaded
