I really can't believe Chad faced off against Shunsui and survived just because the latter is chill af... learning what level Shunsui is compared to other captains now is crazy.
Experimenting with different video lengths, I understand if this is too long. Also now that I’ve finished Soul Society and started the Arrancar arc I’m officially completely blind from here on out 🔥
Dude, your journey is incredible. If you keep going, you’ve got a bright future on RU-vid. By the time the final episodes of the Thousand-Year Blood War arc drop, you’ll probably have finished all the arcs, so you'll get to experience the finale firsthand. You might want to consider doing reaction videos for the episodes as you go (like Neel Desai does). It could help grow your subscriber base and keep your channel active. But if you're not comfortable showing your face, this format still works great. The Bleach fanbase is super loyal, and I’m proud to be part of it. Welcome to the Bleach community!
ive thought about that, but probably once ive caught up to TYBW. i want to do watch party streams when the episodes drop i think that would be fun. the Bleach community has been amazing and helpful by making sure i understand everything
The Soul Society arc is PERFECTION I REALLY agree you it's still so good and always when i'm seeing someone's watching it for the first time it gives a nostalgic vibes for me thank you so much Mespy LOVE your TYBW Rukia profile picture and now i'm watching Bleach TYBW episode 29! 🔥🔥
@@Mespyy can't wait to see you catch up TYBW! Hey would you watch filler seasons like Bount arc or Zanpakuto arc? Even how people hate Bount Arc I likd it, but Zanpakuto Arc is a MUCH BETTER
There must be some magic in this arc. That's my favoruite arc and i really love to comeback to this arc and rewatching some of peak and key moments from it. It's so sad that you got spoiled because twist with Aizen was supposed to be mindblowing but unfortunatly that was not that in your case bud I'm glad your enojoyed his manipulation plan. For some reason, it's the one that comes to mind when people talk about Bleach. I guess the soundtrack is a big part of that. The OST for Bleach is probably my favorite of all the anime out there. The fights are really well done. Especially my favoruite in this arc with Kenpachi (but with Buyakuya was also goated). I love how Ichigo develops as a character. I won't spoil it, but I'll just say that I call Ichigo one of my favorite MCs for a reason. He seems so relay unlike the others (I wouldn't call myself an anime guy, but I've just watched a lot of shonen to see that for myself). You understand him better and empathize with each arc and you're no longer surprised by what happens next (in a good way). Next stop, Arrancar: The Arrival arc. I can't wait for this video. Keep watching Bleach until the very end. We will be there.
Shikai represents user's outer self/personality Bankai represents user's inner self/personality Both gives nice reflection on character's identity Such a goated concept much more than a power system
So glad you’re watching Bleach. Ngl this arc is one peak of many to me but an underrated bright spot I loved in the arc was Byakuya taking a stab wound protecting Rukia. I like these linger videos you do, keep it up!!
I will for sure, I probably would've caught up to TYBW by now if I wasn't taking time out to make videos but I enjoy it. It's been fun and it's nice seeing people look forward to them
Idk if you saw it last video but Ichigo's name literally translates to いち(I- chi) meaning 1 And ご (Go) meaning Spirit Gaurdian So his name literally translates to "The Number one spirit Gaurdian" Or "The Number one hero" Or even "Number one Soul(reaper)" Its so intergral to who his character is that even Ikkaku mentions it in their fight when he says "Y,know guys with Ichi in their name are meant to be overflowing with luck and charm" mind you Ichi being in his name is the Number 1. So every conflict you see in the show is a story of what it means to be the number 1 warrior. Its even the name of his theme song. "So baby now you think your number 1, shining bright for everyone" THIS WAS SO IMPORTANT TO HIS CHARACTER THAT THE SONG ISNT EVEN IN JAPANESE AND IT MENTIONS HIS NUMBER ONE STATUS
bro there is so much stuff in this arc that is an important detail, i thought i caught a good amount of whats important but still i get comments of people letting me know of details i missed. soul society arc is insane, thanks for letting me know ill keep it in mind as i keep watching bleach
It makes me so happy to see you enjoying one of my all time favorite animes so much. Looking forward to your thoughts on the rest of the series. Just know. It. Keeps. Getting. Better.
@@lyebatenkaitosofgluttony2452 the result would've been the same with any of the Captains. As much as I like Chad he just aint that strong esp in this arc. Even Uryu would've lost if it was any other captain.
@@lyebatenkaitosofgluttony2452 I mean Chad did no dif the squad 8 3rd seat lol and that's more or less the same as the guy Uryu clapped with the little razor blades. But I agree, would've been good to give Chad a better moment before sending him to a guaranteed loss 🤣
When Captain Kuchiki chose to go "all out" against Ganju after Ganju revealed his clan it was because Kuchiki realized Ganju was a "noble" just like himself by status. And wanted to pay him respects
Yeah nah I'm here for ALL of this! Bleach always been my favorite of the Top 3 since I was a kid, and while One Piece is definitely climbing up the ranks rn for me as I get into the series, the levels of hype I feel when watching or reading Bleach is like none other! Super glad to see you enjoying the series!
Glad you are loving it! Awesome review as well. Just want to point out Byukuyas reason for wanting to kill Ganju suddenly was out of respect for him being from a noble house.
So cool to watch someone go through their first bleach trip and soul society arc. So many cool moments and storylines my god. Highkey my favorite part in all of bleach is ichigo pulling up to the execution site and his following fight with byakuya, so iconic. Dude pulls up, stops sokyoku with his Zanpakuto in Shikai, breaks the stand that rukia is in, then hawks down the three lieutenants on the ground, THROWS HIS ZANPAKUTO IN THE GROUND AND FIGHTS THEM WITH HIS BARE HANDS, then grabs his sword and does a 180 block to stop byakuya whose tryna sneak up on him. Then that fight with byakuya man, that bankai transformation with the bandages all wrapping around his arm up to the sword and the reveal of “tensa zangetsu.” Then ichigo pulling up to byakuya with his sword to his throat and then running laps around him “I could go a little faster for you” and flying around dodging his petals and then getting surrounded and hitting that sword spam to knock all of the petals away and that final stance, then teleporting behind him saying “what do you call a miracle when it happens twice” 🙌🏽🔥🥶 and then white ichigo coming in to fight, “I thought I told you already, it’s a big problem for me if you get yourself killed” byakuya going “who or what are you” then white going “you wanna know who I am? I have… no name” throwing ichigos first black getsuga and that amazing voice acting with him laughing and fighting like an animal, so so so peak, I love it man.
I love how much youre enjoying Bleach! Also i really liked the inclusion of your 'favorites' lists, including not just fights but also Bankais and individual momments :) that's really nice
answers on your quesitons: 1. yes and no, i dont know if he lost his spiritual energy, but i do know he lost his quincy powers. 2. yes, the were forgiven 3. aizen is the final villain of bleach the series, tybw has a different main villain though 4. captains basically just progress along ichigo and the others (chad, orihime) hope this helps!
Hearing you talk about Bleach is honestly peak! Also the fact that you give the show time to explain instead of complaining like some people would It's great Can't wait to hear about your Bleach journey as you get further into it :)
Renji gets memed on for taking Ls but what you have to understand, and Byakuya even mentions it in his fight with Ichigo, to truly master bankai you have to train with it for at least 10 years. Renji’s bankai is brand new, he just got it. There’s also other reasons, regarding the true nature of zanpakuto etc that won’t be explained for a loong time, but, regarding Renji’s Ls, they are explained and there is a logic behind them. He’s still a pretty good character in my book and he’s basically Ichigo’s bro from this point on
This arc was so peak, I had my Grocery manager hooked when I introduced him to the show (and he thus went down the anime rabbit hole not long afterwards). I had made and converted highlight clips for that week on my "dumb" phone (before we had smartphones, ha ha), and we were just hyped to see what was coming next! Seeing your reactions bring those days back in my mind, and so clearly! 😄
I love getting to watch people watch Bleach for the first time. I’ve rewatched it so many times and I still learn something new or catch something that I didn’t before. You can just tell Kubo put so much energy into fleshing out all of the details of the Bleach universe.
My man did it! nice video again, appreciate you going for the longer video. Now what you can do is make a clips channel and slice these longer formatted videos into clips. Also you can throw those into shorts as well. That will definitely you boost up in the algorithm and those will work for inserting those into tick tocks, reels etc...on other platforms
thank you for the advice, ive just been enjoying the video making process but i probably should look to expand into youtube shorts/tiktoks. thank you for the feedback on video length aswell, it seems people enjoyed this video being longer
when i seen your soul society video part 1 i was like a the end "Bro hasnt even gotten to the really good part and is already calling it peak" and i KNOW you're gonna love this series
Thank you, working on my next one that will get about halfway through the Arrancar arc. Still enjoying Bleach, haven’t finished the whole arc yet but I left off at Ichigo vs Grimmjow in Hueco Mundo and it still looks like the arc is about to get better
I know you’ve probably heard this a thousand times but your mind will be blown once you finish the original show and get to thousand year blood war. I have a feeling bleach will make its way into your top 3
Idk where did it came from, your first video in my feed and I just binged all your videos and I'm excited for your upcoming videos on Bleach. As it is the most underrated among the big 3 and my favourite out of all of them too. Bleach is by far the most well paced among big 3 and most of the things around it which doesn't makes sense in starting is now making sense in TYBW. I'm excited for you to reach the latest episodes.
I really enjoyed this video. Honestly I don't mind the longer runtime. And I am glad you loved this arc. And I do hope you enjoy the other arcs as well. I can't wait for the next video.
Knowing about Aizen before watching the Soul Society arc is the worst spoil I think, the plot twist and the reveal are so damn good. Personally, I started watching bleach like 16 years ago and I can say that I enjoy videos like this, when people get into it and start sharing their thoughts. An honorable mention for this arc would be how badass Zaraki was when he 1v2d Tousen and Komamura, the fact that he stood still and got stabbed just to find him was peak.
11:50 There's a much deeper reason why he was on par with kenpachi, but zangetsu didn't want ichigo to know at that time. Keep going it'll blow your brains out. 22:53 You have noo idea bro😂😂😂 This guy is a meme in the bleach community, he's just getting started😂
One thing I appreciate about the Soul Society arc is how it handles the scale of the main characters. Ichigo comes in hot, he's strong going toe to toe with the combat squad's 3rd seat making him seem like the strongest of his group. Then you have Ishida who low diff's a 4th seat making you go huh, and then you have Chad who no diff's Squad 8's 3rd seat. Its like ok we got this and then for each one its like "oh you thought you had a chance" and all three get put on death's door by a captain. Ultimately when they succeed its because of all the assistance they get rather than just getting strong enough to beat 1 person. Even against Byakuya, at the end he is the one who walks(flash steps) away, while Ichigo needs immediate attention. It sets up the power levels without making them all pointless with Ichigo just #1 now.
just found your channel today and yeah i hope you enjoyed Bleach even after Soul Society Arc, i recommend to skip fillers and go straight to canon story and catch up to the TYBW, you can watch the fillers later if you want to watch it, cant wait for your next content!
ong im only ep 232 rn and bleach js keeps gettin more n more fire im startin another filler arc its so boring but hopefully i'll watch it through soon. GL HOMIE ENJOY BLEACH CUZ SHIT BOUTA GET EVEN MORE LITTTT
Fun fact: Many people think Mayuri, the captain of squad 12, is Tite Kubo, the author's favorite character in Bleach, but he never specifically said who's his favorite character is. There is one time asked, "Who's your favorite female character in Bleach?" he answered, "Rangiku and Orihime." Oh, and he cosplayed as Mayuri once.
aizen is cold for sure, and thats before ive seen him fight for real. im waiting until aizen fights someone whos actually at his strength i wanna see what it looks like when hes trying
Great video! I don't mind the length of it at all, it helps me understand better what your thinking. What do you think of the ost-s so far? Bleach is known for having the best ones in the big 3.
the OST is really good, but my favorite so far is from the Arrancar arc. the track that plays when Ulquiorra is on screen i need to find the name of it
I have watched all the anime in the big 3 AOT and all of the new gen and I have finished bleach anime and manga and Soul Society is my favorite arc of all time plus is the 3rd anime of the big three that I watched so I am not biased
1st question Uryu discarded all of his spiritual energy for that final atack. So yes he lost his spiritual energy. SPOILER ! Uryu lost his spiritual energy but only for now 3rd questuon. Yes aizen is the main villain but there will be a lot of great side villains in the noxt arc like uluqiora and grimmjow. 4th question Captains will get stronger troughuot the series. You should have noticed that none of the captains took their fights seriously (kenpachi limited himself, byakuya underestimated ichigo and Mayuri underestimated uryu. I think that uryu was saved bu the plot a little bit.). Sorry for bad english its not my first lenguage🙏
Kaien=Ichigo's cousin. Also, the Sokyoku has the ability to wipe out everything in existence. Depending on how "everything in existence" is defined, it it a Universe destroying or Multiverse destroying weapon, and the stand is made to stop that power, meaning that Ichigo has two Universe destroying feats in Shikai in this arc.
its not really important but if i remember correctly Mayuri didnt kill Uryuu's grandpa, he just didnt send help when his Grandpa was attacked by a hollow and instead waited until he was killed by the hollow so he could experiment on him like he did with 2661 other quincy, and this is what made Uryuu crash out
