As of posting this, I’m already done with TYBW Part 2!! Though this goes without saying, please do not spoil as the story is still ongoing! Can’t wait for Part 3!!! Sorry for posting this a month later, I’ve been unexpectedly very busy lately and haven’t had time to really sit down, relax and edit. So please turn on the notification bell to know when I upload! ANYWAYS what a reveal. Ichigo is literally THAT guy lmao. Also.. that Grimmjow cameo!!! Do not play with me please. Show me his face I’m begging you.
1. The flashback opening scene is a totally new anime original scene. It was never included in the manga. 2. Ichigo was using sonido (arrancar's flash step) when he went to find Byakuya.
I'm so glad that you popped up in my recommended page. HUGE RESPECT to you when you caught the line Aizen said to Ichigo in ep 296. Great memory there and I appreciate your attention to detail. Definitely subbed right after that!
17:35 the thing is that most people don't realize that after Aizen said this and Isshin backed off with Ichigo, Aizen said: "Keeping his distance, I see. A wise decision. *I suppose it's in their blood*..." so there's even more foreshadowing on that 296 episode.
"BLUT VENE" translate to " blood vein" by releasing Reishi in their blood streams they can make their body a like Iron shield and to augment their powers Quincies was specialized on this particular feats ,its similar to "Hierro" of Espadas but since Quincies they used it for offensive and defensive way. But it has two actually Blood vein and Blood artery this one when they used it for activating their abilities offensively while blut venee is only used for defense. BTW do not forget that Squad ZERO Only involved if there's a threat in the balance of souls or threat against to Soul King. Yhwach already threatened the 3 worlds and already disrupted the balance of souls and the main issue which is I didn't want you to spoil but cour 2 will cover it anyway so I'm waiting for that particular episodes that you will react
I loved that you rewatched that Aizen’s dialogue ! Bleach story is completely connected from the first to the last episode. (Literally go to the first episode and look at ichigo’s bed ❤)
the one who killed quilge opie was grimjow. three fullbringers were dead. after the death, their souls come to soul society and ganju find their souls and train them.
Given their actions in life, the revelation of that trio of Fullbringers in Soul Society surprised me when I first saw it. Kubo must be more merciful than me - I thought they were headed straight to Hell.
@@megalictis9002 Well, as far as we know they didn't kill any innocent people when they were alive. And I presume in the world of Bleach causing someone emotional and psychological torment doesn't count as a heavy enough sin for Hell.
@@poochyenajones1362 Tsukishima is a sadistic sociopath whose Fullbring has psychologically broken many people by adding too many new memories to their minds, rendering them 'useless' afterwards. But you're right that Kubo never said that was sufficient evil to warrant damnation. Ginjō killed a number of Shinigami in the world of the living to siphon power from them. Perhaps this doesn't count as murder since Soul Reapers are from the afterlife, so not "alive" ? Giriko's first test of Time Tells No Lies was to murder his wife. He regretted it and his attempt to undo it cost him his eye, but it's at least manslaughter. He suspected he held a weapon and callously tested that theory on his own wife. Maybe she "had it coming to her?"
Many people think byakuya was supposed to die, but simply at that point his character was not complete , he was supposed to be alive to complete his character arc that started way back in ss and her sister character arc
u dont have to look at something so linear. u can have him die before being able to something so emotional, making it even more tragic. this is reinforced more by the fact he said "forgive me, renji and rukia". you can flip something like this on its head. rukia would have to find a way to afirm herself which can also be interesting
@@tater8960 but that case is simply not this time , in the fight with asnodt, he pointed out a character flaw in byakuya, he wants to protect his loved ones but is insecure of losing them , that was his fear , afterwards just like other captains who "reverted back to their roots" byakuya understood more about his senbonzakura meaning he finally was able to get in terms with himself and no longer feel that insecurity, it is shown by him putting his trust on rukia's newfound strength, their developement are somewhat joint, if he was supposed to die there is no point in making asnodt point out his character flaw , it is shown so that it can be resolved later. yes you can take it to the other way where things will play out different but people are just to fixated on that byakuya should have died, they dont look at it this way
@@luffys_ nope, have you forgotten back in Soul Society arc when Katana disappeared or destroyed the possessor must be considered the sign of being dead he supposed to be die on that moment unfortunately how they revived with Him with that kind of state. I can understand Kenpachi's case.since his katana didn't destroyed while Byakuya's zanpakuto was completely destroyed. Lol you don't need to complete his character development as Yamamoto died while him survived lol he's injury was beyond to heal knowing his zanpakuto destroyed means he literally took serious damaged 💁☕
Have to disagree. Whilst I like that Byakuya didn't die, his character arc is arguably Yamamoto's if he slipped off the bandwagon too often. Byakuya was a stringent law-abiding traditionalist much like Yama who failed to always uphold the law, based on his marrying Hisana and adopting Rukia. I believe him asking Ichigo the the final favor to save Soul Society is the completion of Byakuya's character arc, much like Yama coming to realise that someone outside his cultural values and laws can still benefit him and his culture.
@@theemperorprotectsloyalist9307 my original comment has some mistake. It did seem byakuya was about to die i am not denying that but it was for people who are just too fixated on "byakuya should have stayed dead". While protect the soul society moment is the end of byakua's character arc, him getting over his insecurity and fear of losing his loved ones to putting his believe in their strength is character developement, and getting recognised by his brother was rukia's end of character arc , i believe byakuya not dying doesn't ruin that moment or story but it rather did good for it.
this is a little late but originally, Byakuya was meant to die and stay dead. Kubo got so many death threats during the manga release of tybw that he had to bring him back.
15:40 Genryusai is more than 2000 years old, Shunsui and Jushiro are around 1000 years old. Byakuya is around 130 years old, Renji and Rukiya are around 70-80 years old, Hitsugaya is 40-50 years old. Isshin around Byakuya's age, maybe older.
We get so much story development over these two episodes and it's a lot to process! That flashback to 1000 years ago was an anime-only addition. The manga only showed some of the original Gotei 13 - in sillhouette - for one panel. In Episode 7 Kubo gave us clear images of all 13 at the beginning sand in the end credits, along with all their names! The Squad 2 Captain was a Shihoin right from the beginning! Blut Vene is German for "Blood Vein" - it's the Quincy defensive technique, shielding the body from harm. It's offensive counterpart, Blut Arterie, increases attack power. Quincies are shown using Blut Vene much more often in Bleach and they can't be used at the same time, but we're usually left to assume they use Blut Arterie during some attacks and we just don't see it. You're right about what Aizen said. It's typical of Kubo to misdirect us with characters making wrong assumptions or revealing only partial information. Many of your questions will be answered by the end of episode 13, and it would be better to speculate about Isshin's true age when you cover that episode. When Byakuya "died" in the manga - with a really good death scene - lots of Bleach fans totally lost their shit waiting for the next issue until they announced that he was still alive.
Ayyy finally🎉🎉. A lot of character revealed + all the lores like quincies, squad zero, ouken etc. finally explained in this arc. Kubo tease all these lores waaaay back at soul society arc. What a long journey. Ps: As I remember when reading manga weekly(tybw), at first Byakuya was meant to die at that time, but Kubo got a lot of threat from fans mail😢. Dunno if it just a rumor or actually a true story.
I love your reactions! You have so much fun watching ❤ Also, that singing has left me wanting for more, maybe a cover? I would definitly like to hear a cover of yours for the Senna rin ending.
2:17 yeah it would be accurate to say that! the music used in this arc mostly is inspired by German imperial music. Shiro Sagisu cooked up a madness fr
I believe that Aizen was not necessarily talking about Ichigo being a Quincy back then. He does say “human and…” which makes more sense to refer to his soul reaper heritage there, since Ichigo didn’t know about his father yet. Saying he’s human and Quincy doesn’t make much sense to say because by definition, quincies are in fact human.
In the manga in one chapter Aizen said: "Shinigami and..." in the following chapter Ichigo repeats in his own head "Human and..." A lot of people still argue that the "Shinigami and..." part was an error an was meant to be "Human and..." In my opinion there is no error, since it makes sense for Aizen to use "Shinigami and..." and it makes sense, that Ichigo in his mind state at that time, missinterprets what he heared to "Human and..." since at this very moment he sees his dad as a Shinigami and completes it in his had to "Human and Shinigami" While Aizen most likely was about to drop the bomb.
Interesting to see your thoughts on Aizen... Absolutely love your reactions btw. Same as mine. Bleach will always have something that other shows don't have.
so cute & soothing voice of yours #KeepItUp 🥰 _yeah, we did lose Byakuya..._ . . . . . _yep, you heard me right, we did lose him...at least in the manga way back then.._ 🫣
Just to clarify, the reason Ginjo appeared in Soul Society is because of Ichigo. Ichigo killed Ginjo as a human so his Soul got sent to Soul Society. None of this would happen if Ichigo didn't go ask Yamamoto to retrieve the body and give him a proper burial.
Toshiro Hitsugaya is about 50yo. Ywachs first fight agains Yamamoto was 1000 years ago. Cptn. that were alive then are Shunsui, Ukitake, Unohana and ofc Yamamoto. Everyone else is at least younger than 1000years. Blut Vene translated means blood vein.
Toshiro was depicted as a child 50 years ago at the time Momo was attending the academy, so he's a bit older than 50, but he's consistently presented as younger than Renji and Rukia who are about 150. We don't know for certain that Ukitake and Shunsiu were alive 1000 years ago. The flashback if young Shunsui in episode 7 might be a year after the first Quincy invasion, or a hundred years. We can speculate based on Yamamoto's appearance, but physical aging is a bit inconsistent in Bleach. We do know that they were the first of Yamamoto's students to attain the rank of Captain (because Sasakibe, who was older, always refused promotion). Byakuya's grandfather, Ginrei Kuchiki, is also drawn to appear older than Ukitake and Shunsiu in the Turn Back the Pendulum arc, and Kubo has admitted that they forgot to mention him in that flashback when they were discussing who had been a Captain for over a century by that point.
The pronunciation of Yhwach is strange in Japanese. They give it more syllables than it actually has because of the nature of their language. It's Hebrew, and believed to be the true name of God. I've heard it pronounced a few different ways, but the one I usually say is either Ya-way or Yu-ha.
(dont wory didnt reveal anythng in my comment) Oh girl ageing in Bleach is weird.Unohana for example is a healer, ageing was never explained i thing but i remember the pendulum Arc when AIsen was a Lutennant.Shunsui was Greeting Unohana with respect, so she for example can also be old alot.Could have something to do with healing powers. MaybeA little clue remeber when Aizen was betrayed Soul society, try to remeber the people he faiced , and the ones he ran from.Also traped the underrated best caracter the Kempachy in Hueko mundo, Aisen didnt face Kampachy.
