The Strongest Soul Reaper EVER! Ichigo Is Crazy Strong! Bleach Episode 307 308 Reaction 

My too

However, Aizen knows Gin was going to betray him, just don't know when he was going to act.

@@Zero_Requiem That's still a gross miscalculation, specially for someone like Aizen. Like yeah I know this vulcano is going to explode I just don't know when so in the meantime imma build my house around it, what can possibly go wrong lmao. If it wasn't by the Hogyouku Aizen would be dead for real

Same tbh. Gin is my second favorite character after Yoruichi

From our perspective yes it's just a miscalculation to his big plan, and we're like "why the fu- would you fumble your master plan like this" but we have to take into account Aizen's character traits. He's curious to a fault, even in his past experiments it shows, where he allows a certain leeway to exist to see how things would unfold, for his own entertainment. Even if it's to his detriment. For me I'd never had taken the choices Aizen did that would allow Gin to do his thing, but I'm not like Aizen lol so can't judge what he does based on my own principles. What makes him feel interested and enjoy himself isn't working for everyone

Wonder if that hadn't happened if she'd be far stronger than she is now, like captain level.

@@In-The-Zone I always wondered too because of her being a lieutenant with her current power not being at full.

@@co123 She would be. A lot more powerful given that the part of the soul Aizen took to create his Hogyoku was a nail of the soul king; she literally had the power of a single nail from the soul king and if you read the manga you know how much power can a piece of the soul king have.

About that late thing....maybe that's why he was in shock (not smiling anymore) after figuring out that aizen fused with hogyoku without his knowing, no? 😩

@@legendaryvicius yeah I finished the manga back when it ended. Lots of interesting and entertaining discussions back then

The easiest way to attack an opponent who always fcks with your senses esp when they are extremely overconfident Is just to lead into taking a hit so you can guarantee a hit on them Even the same for Zaraki vs Tosen

Also why Zaraki would've been a problem for him. He'd have taken that hit, laughed, and held on.

Glad to see someone else caught this. It was a cool subtle little hint they threw in there making that statement. It just so happened that Aizen was prepared for Yamamoto

doesnt make any sense aizen coud have just stabbed him in the fucking head to make sure he dies instantly aizen literally coud kill anyone instantly but never did

@@MountAverage28 so why didn't he? He genuinely saw Genryuusai as a threat so why would the genius mastermind not just kill him?

I'm pretty sure ltr on it was clarified that Gin was never with Aizen, since Rangiku was there and that the friends of Ichigo were "saved" by him It's basically like Itachi case, except his cause was all for naught, almost... He never really achieved his ultimate goal and died and known to all Itachi achieved it and deactivate the Reanimation but was still being made a traitor, to which only the higher ups know he isn't

And didn’t he say something like that too? How “lesser/weaker” beings chose whatever “truth” suits them best and then call it reality? …like… he unintentionally predicts it. He became “lesser” than Ichigo, and clung to his idea of “truth”-that his power would never be less than his adversaries.

That last fight can be called "Disrespect, the fight."

Basically the beginning of the fight be like: Ichigo: move Aizen: no Ichigo: Move! Aizen: No! Ichigo: B**** Move! * grabs his face *

How do some people not pick up on it?

@@colt1903 Some people just don't pay ANY attention.

It caught me totally off guard.

@@thomasschmelzer7676 It has nothing to do with not paying attention. Some people just aren't great at predictions. It's really not that weird. Just because you have a good sense for twists and others don't, doesn't make you cool bro.

@@colt1903 grow up

Gin was following Aizen's orders on pushing Ichigo out the gate. Aizen wanted Ichigo to use the cannon to enter SS.

@@ASageCalledQ true I might be giving him too much credit on that one.

@@f4rensabri ok? I know......

@@f4rensabri literally what's your point?

@@supercloudreed he most likely combined them while in hueco mundo so he could make the arrancars, and fused with it right before going to the world of the living

Actually by this point they have gave you all the information on both hogiyokus. Aizen was conducting experiments in hollowfacation to understand how he could transcend both races, he created his own hogiyoku after learning about urraharras cause it could help with his experiments. But his was not equal to urraharras and kept causing the experiments to fail. So he then decided to go after urraharras and after he obtained it and left to hueco Mundo he combined his with urraharras and began creating the arranncar he then fused with it right before he left hueco Mundo.

From what I've seen, the manji is flat, the swastika is on a corner.

@@TimedRevolver while it is true that the Nazi swastika is always tilted, there are rare instances of Hindu, Jain, or Buddhist artwork and carvings with tilted swastikas and sauwastikas

Thank you 🙏🏽

👍👍

I'm sure Dangai ichigo and Bully maguire are gonna great friends if they meet 😂

By far. Like not anywhere close 😂

I love how the energy just… changes in these episodes. Like, he’s giving the same lectures he’s always does-the kind that used to make him seem like he had complete control of any situation. But now… the whole vibe is different, and the audience *feels* it. Now, Aizen is the one who seems desperate. And even though he hasn’t shown the extent of his power yet, Ichigo is the one who seems completely in control.

We technically did. 309 and 310 was recorded same day

@@YaBoyRockLee then i know you enjoyed it for sure can't wait for more of your reactions ☺

what fight? Asspull 'mcguffin' verses asspull MC /plot/duex machina. Bleach has no consistent power system, and barely any 'actual' battles. Most fights are predictable formulaic reverse uno table flip scenarios. When things are one sided, thats not really a battle. Its just a spectacle, and Kubo's art and paneling is gorgeous. Essentially its just a bunch of fantastic images played in sequence, and while the art is great, the writing is... well i dont know if id call it writing... the 'storyboarding' is flawed to say the least, albeit there are reasons for that which are not Kubos fault persay. The most amazing part about bleach, imo, is that is exists at all and managed to finish against all odds. Its a cool manga, with a few good ideas and moments, but for every good thing in bleach theres more plotholes, contradictions, or unnecessary asspulls to come with it. TBF, not just tryin to spew hate for the sake of it. I grew up with bleach and own the entire manga. Ive been a fan and have nostalgia and love for the manga and Kubo himself. Ive read his interviews and diatribes and know his personal struggle, and see Kubo as a victim of a lot of issues with the business and way manga is produced, along with his personal struggles plus being one of the few 'successful' long term mangaka that refused to have a consistent team of ppl to help him, as he already struggled with the editorial process and keeping artistic control. Bla bla, point being, i can love kubo and be a 'fan' of bleach, and still be able to see and admit to its flaws, and have some negative takes for that matter. That doesnt mean that people shouldnt like bleach, i love bleach, and i like to point out its flaws too. Im watching reactions to it, afterall... Have to post qualifiers these days to say anything negative about bleach though. Fandoms on average seem quite defensive these days and not willing to critique or admit there could be flaws in their religion or something lol (being hyperbolic obv) This 'conclusion' was rather unpopular when it released back in the day for reasons, and the shifty place the bleach fandom has been in for a decade stems from that.... most critics and fans were quite disappointed with much of how this arc was written, and many, myself included, wished that Kubo had taken a hiatus, as long as necessary, rather than force thru to an unplanned unthought out incomplete ending. This is why we cant have nice things, but im not blaming Kubo. He was under immense pressure from almost every conceivable aspect of his business and personal life for a long time in one of the most unforgiving grueling industries for an artist to work in, and 'mostly' going it alone. In that sense, i appreciate his work still, tho ofc Ill always praise his art and presentation, not so much his writing/storyboarding/plot, as its just plain and simply not his forte. He prefers to speak through his art, and does a great job at that. Unironically, i actually think many segments or aspects of bleach would be much better with less information and less dialogue, as that is where all of bleach's flaws reside. It all came down to a deux machina and there was no 'battle', nor was there any real accomplishment or growth from the main cast. Instead its a never seen or heard of ultra duper secret move that no other zanpakto user will ever mention or use or know about ever again, just for this one time, oh and apparently Ishin has this too lol. Kubo just made that up, definition of asspull, even though there were plenty of viable ways to have a similar but more satisfying conclusion, it just would have required more forethought and/or more chapters. It woulda made more sense if this powerup had been a letzt stil, or... 'zangetsu' giving him his .... (if u know u know). And there were literally people suggesting this back then, BEFORE the current arc. In other words, many manga fans who nerded out on reddit theories were way ahead of and more consistent than Kubo on some things with his own story lol. Me and my friends who talked about bleach over a decade ago had assumed ichigo was (u know if u know) even before this part of the manga (there were some clues early on in the manga, plus, obvious story is obvious). Well.... atleast it came at a cost.... owait... noooo... This doesnt hit a fraction as well as the way HxH did things with nen contracts for example, and had a much more emotional and narrative buildup around the mechanics, all woven together meticulously. Unfair comparison perhaps, one is meticulously storyboarded with years off between arcs or story segments, the other is a weekly release with no time between for anything but drawing the next chapter. Perhaps most disappointing part of this, imo, was Aizen. Every bit of characterization he had from the prior chapters was trashed. That facepalm ichigo did, while it might be hype to kids or people who just wanna see memey cool moments, was basically the end of this arc and its villain, narratively. The character once called aizen vanished and was replaced with a cardboard cutout of the most typical boring elementary kids' cartoon villain, down to every word and action. His IQ drops 200 points, his brain stops working, and no one learned anything in the process. Kubo just loves to expose characters... i get it... but trashing your villain in this particular way makes the conflict moot and all the setup up to now rather ridiculous. Theres no point, no lesson to learn, no real philosophical exploration of characters and motives, no deeper meaning. Ichigo doesnt even have to try he just stands there looking cool while some idiot shouts nonsense that has nothing to do with why this story even happened. And its not because ichigo was really tactical, or intelligent, or that he was good at swordsmanship, or was able to influence others or lead people or inspire ppl. He doesnt have a better or worse resolve, he doesnt have a better or worse plan. He just has a high power level, which wasnt earned nor necessary. Cool story, never seen that before.... Not that the outcome doesnt work, but the devils in the details. This was all just a big masturbatory spectacle with no substance, imo. Does it ruin bleach? Ofc not, bleach was never that deep to begin with. The trigger for this post is clearly a decade old wound resurfacing lol... seeing so many ppl be so positive and biased about these flawed narratives from a fanboy angle, when even the author admits to their worst times, to them being miserable, in over their head, in dire need of a break, ect. I wouldnt be surprised if he was considering suicide at times, given some comments hes made about emotional and mental turmoil. Meanwhile, these niave 'fans' giving it all a thumbs up, green light, saying "yup, thats good stuff, keep it up!" Aside from the issues of the industry, animators and mangaka are infamously poorly treated and compensated until a certain point of success, it also starts to seem like the fandoms of this 'era' are incapable of critical examination or admitting to anything as a negative, even in cases where as a fan, they should be wanting better for the authors and artists, rather than pining for more rushed content to consume. Would you rather your favoreite piece of fiction/art be done by someone suicidally stressed, overworked, underslept, underpaid, and wishing they could quit, or would you prefer they enjoy their lives and have time off to brainstorm and create better work when the time comes? Praising this "fight" or conclusion (whatever u wanna call it) as if its really amazing work is (to me) like saying season 8 Game of Thrones was amazing work (imo). Its lazy rushed asspulls by an artist who was admittingly objectively overextended, stressed beyond imagination, and wanting a fucking break to breathe again... which is fking sad, tragic even imo. And yet, people accepting these scenarios and this system and the work it produces, the horrible conditions for those trying to work within it, and the lackluster results it leads to for some. I for one, as a fan of Kubo, dont see the need to turn my brain off and praise things i see glaring issues with, but rather mourn that he was forced to endure and ruin his own passion. I think bleach could have been something entirely different, not just a typical shoenen but maybe something really different, if Kubo had his way, but it wasnt the case unfortunately.

One could argue he could have aimed for her heart or neck but chose not to

@@In-The-Zone if the Anime wasn’t censored, maybe. But in reality cutting someone in half, is killing intent no matter where the slicing happens lol.

I mean it pretty much is, in terms of lethality, The fact that he can do that much dmg to Aizen when he is "God form" and almost killed him Gin just had that level of power in terms of unique lethal power, its better than Soi Fon's, all he needs is 1 hit into a target and he is gone. Just that only thing holding him back was just Complete Hypnosis making it hard to ensure a hit If Gin was alive, he would very well fit into being the Stealth Force top man, stealth would need one to be sneaky like a snake to begin with

@@Vonmoonlight There is actually an interesting point to be made about the fact that Bankais don't repair after being broken and Gin's poison requires him to left a chip of his sword inside his enemy so doesn't that mean that if he uses it too much he would eventually run out of sword? Lmao maybe that's why Kamishuninoyari is a small blade

@@gabrieldossantos1116 since it turns to dust it can probably be retrieved. The blade insides are coated with poison, not that the dust is poison, so it shouldn't be permanently gone after use.

Thanks

Nice said😢🤧

I don't think it's true. Coz Aizen was reckless only because he fused with Hogyoku. If he is not i bet he'll never let Gin touch his sword. He waited Gin's attack.

If Aizen had no fused with the Hogyoku he would not have lowered his guard to the point of allowing Gin to touch his sword. Its because of that fusion Gin had a chance in the first place. A gamble that Aizen won.

Gin only had that chance because of the hougyoku.

We realized.

@@YaBoyRockLee yep. You're the first people to actively notice that.

Truth lol

Can't ✋can't wait till they get too the uncut TYBW.

Thank you so much 😀

Gin is one of my favorite characters, I teared up when he died.

@@kyng_spade yeah same here dude

Thats dope. Thanks for explaining

wrong tousen was a self centered person, with the what i say and do is right mentality, gin had none of that he knew what was good and what was evil and he knowingly did evil to later on do a greater good.

What did gon do that was evil??

@@romhacher5160 He was a murderer lmao Back in Turn Back the Pendulum we saw him killing shinigamis just to prove himself for Aizen and also he literally just split Hyori in half. Don't get me wrong, I don't think actually enjoyed doing these things, he did it just to get Aizen's trust, but he is still a murderer nontheless. The only diference between him and Tosen is that Tosen actually belived in what he was doing while Gin was always doing it to get Aizen to lower his guard

@@gabrieldossantos1116 I could be wrong but weren’t those soul reapers working for aizen anyway, like I’m pretty sure they’re the one who took rangikus soul and he killed them to get revenge and to prove himself to aizen, and also yea he did f up hyori but he was under disguise and knew she could just get healed anyway, I’m not gonna try and call gin a saint but I would say he’s a pretty good guy all things considered, I assume we’d both call byuakya a good guy and he almost killed renji and tried to kill rukia, gin did a bad thing but it was for a good reason, saying gin killed people for shits and giggles is a major disrespect to his character and blatantly isn’t true, he also fought others for a purpose

As stated in the first reply, Tosen was still self-centered and largely motivated by his own personal vendetta. It's not like he had all of this same energy for anyone else who could have possibly been suffering undue hardship from any corrupt actions of Central 46. It was almost entirely about his friend whom he lost, and getting revenge. And let's not forget, he was willing to sacrifice all of the people in a world that had nothing to do with Central 46 or Soul Society, in order to get the justice he wanted. I personally don't believe Tosen needed to go that route.

Yes, even in the middle episode cards from TYBW Anime you can see Bankai being writen "卍解". It just means "final release" or "full release"

Also a manji
