After the death of Yamamoto, Kyoraku Shunsui is forced to take on the role of the Captain-Commander. While he may not have initially seemed like the right choice, in this video, I want to take a look at how his unorthodox brand of leadership was actually exactly what the Soul Society needed...

The Thousand-Year Blood War called for new leadership of the Gotei 13 and here, I want to explain why I think Kyoraku's unorthodox leadership was exactly what our heroes needed - but let me know your thoughts too!

@manuelacosta9463 Год назад

He's the worthy successor and took charge with a realistic and calm demeanor through Soul Society's worst crisis. His combat prowess and pragmatism helped Soul Society on the battlefield, and now off his new agenda has done much to change the social political landscape of his world for the first time in thousands of years. Be it initiating a flexible recruitment and internship policy, granting help to the worst areas of the Rukon or even creating something akin to civilian jobs rather than the usual yes, Shunsui is someone whom Soul Society needs. Not to mention his cooperative demeanor and working with reformers in Central 46.

Kyoraku understands that while honor and tradition is nice to have, when it comes down to the dirty and cruel ways of war, they mean nothing in the end.

He was definitely the right choice. There wasn't a current captain that would be willing to make the hard decisions like Shunsui. He put his feelings aside and had Zaraki train even at the expense of Unohana because he knew Zaraki was needed, he freed Aizen knowing he would be a major asset to win, wasn't too proud to accept help from those not in the gotei 13 and even those who were outcast of the soul society in order to win. He truly became a war commander on the fly

@manuelacosta9463 Год назад

That's what makes him a true leader, his ability to make difficult potentially lethal and dangerous decisions to win and save his side. He sees things from a realistic perspective, not the traditional, 'honorable' ways of Gotei 13 and it's feudal government. Witch let's be real, was not honorable in the slightest given what the nobles are willing to do to keep and maintain their power.

@darknesswave100 Год назад

I really don't think he changed at all. There were glimpses of his true self on several occasions. The fact that he didn't give a damn about how the 2 guys felt about him killing Staark gave me at least that look into his actual demeanor. I think he could relax and put that mask on of the lazy captain precisely because Yamamoto was around. After he died kyoraku didn't have the luxury of putting the mask on because now he was the leader. The time to do what was necessary was upon them

@OwO377 Год назад

kyoraku was still same but not the naivety type cuz he know the truth but other people didn't realize what actually happen until he decides to make them safe what ever the cost even tho he already know that part but just as it said " Desperate time for desperate measures." if thousands blood war didn't exist he never take the leadership.

@raymondyongho5757 Год назад

Kyoraku is an example of the best leaders being those who don't want the job. He probably envisioned Yamamoto being the Head Captain for another thousand years until Captains like Unohana, Ukitake, or Byakuya took the mantle. On an unrelated note: I'm surprised Shinji was able to keep quiet after learning Kyoraku freed Aizen, especially after everything he's put the Vizards through. You'd think he'd be the most outraged with that decision considering they're the ones who suffered the most from Aizen's betrayal with him casually using them like test subjects. This shows his growth and understanding of how desperate the situation they were in was.

@Jak-lg4kz Год назад

agree. I was like why Shinji just be quiet after what Aizen did to them but then I realized I think he knows this is a desperate situation and he understands that immediately also if ever Kyoraku resigns, I think Shinji should be next he seems kinda like Kyoraku chill, level headed at times and knowledgable.

@framedthunder6436 Год назад

Shinji si very wise too

@darknesswave100 Год назад

That's what bothered me the most about how everybody else reacted. Sure the fact that aizen was freed was bad there's no denying that but they're too focused on the here and now and not looking at the bigger picture. Kyoraku realized they were screwed without Aizen to help them so he made the call. Yamamoto guarandamntee you wouldn't have let Aizen out even if he knew full well that without him they'd all die. That's the difference in the 2 of them. Yamamoto has too much pride and Kyoraku is willing to set his aside to do what's necessary

@MaxIronsThird Год назад

You gotta remember Shinji is one of the older captains, i think only Kyouraku and Kenpachi(from the Gotei 13) are older than him by the end of the series.

@Tensaroxx Год назад

nah the thing is shinji is like always used a measure tool against wittiness he is really smart and cunning himself but not at the level of aizen he is really strong but not at level of aizenn he always was used to measure aizen , he always knew how dangerous aizen was, knew the best time to enter karakura town fight he wasnt the leader of vizards for no fun when there were 6 captain lvl members its not that esy i'd say after shunsui he's most likely to be the head captain

@MelvinDRosaria Год назад

I do love Shunsui. He also agrees, he didn't want to let Aizen loose, but Shunsui is the guy to act now and take responsibility later when all is done. So I do like that Shunsui just says to Byakuya in response to letting Aizen go was shamefull "I agree, if it makes you guys feel better you can smack me for it later".

Hell during arrancar arc, he wasn't sticking to any particular fighting style or a single mindset, he used everything he can to win, and that was needed for the war. Also that's how Yamamoto won the first war, he probably knew that having the original gotei 13 was a big gamble, but their strength were vital of winning the war.

But it wasn't them, as in multiple people, deciding Unohana to train Zaraki...it was Shunsui. This was but one of a handful of decisions Shunsui made that impacted the story of the TYBW. I absolutely love Shunsui during this arc, he almost reminds me of Tywin Lannister in a sense; the differences being how each character portrays themselves, as well as how they handle the loss of their loved ones and how they move forward (as well as Shunsui's laziness). I am absolutely looking forward to seeing more viewers reacting to Shunsui's pragmatic decisions, leading to some of the most impactful moments in the story.

@AthenaVelecta Год назад

I think Kyoraku was probably the best choice for head captain. I think that his dislike of being appointed and his dislike of responsibility in general proves that he understands responsibility better than most people. He knows what is required of a leader and he understands what the job of head captain is about and takes it seriously, he knows what will be expected of him and what he must do. I think Yamamoto realized this also. I think Kyoraku' s reluctance to be given the job and his dislike of responsibility in general comes from not wanting to let anyone down or drop the ball in any way. Which itself makes him the best person who will be serious about stepping up to the plate for the sake of others.

Now, he has changed, I think into someone who would anything and everything to protect the Soul Society. Out of all of the captains, he had the best temperament. IMHO.

Man, Shunsui was my favorite character ever since the Soul Society arc, because I just thought his whole design and aesthetic was just so bad ass. And that’s even before I even just got to know his personality like that. I just liked him from a visual perspective or standpoint immediately! But then when I saw how cool and laid back of a character he was especially in juxtaposition to Head Captain Yamamoto who’s always so stoic and serious all the time I just thought that “Man, this dude is low key kinda bad ass!” Whenever I talk to someone who knows anything about Bleach and I tell them that Shunsui is my favorite character they always immediately kinda look at me strange and ask “He is really?” or something to that extent.

@Accel I'm guessing he figured aizen wouldn't go along with how Ywach was doing things. Cause if he won the soul society and everything that composes the world as a whole would have been gone. So he figured aizen would know that already and cooperate

I agree 100% with this. I remember reading the chapters as they were coming out. And I remember thinking pretty much what was said here. My thought was pretty much, you want to stand by pride, honour, and principal in a war? Well, good for you, you can stand proud next to the bodies.

@nickdurham3946 Год назад

You make a great point about Unohana. As much as we would've liked to see her fight the Sternritter it was her decision to make in regards to how she gets to die. She was so old and if everyone has to die eventually and you have the luxury of choosing to die in a certain manner you should be allowed to do so and dying in a beautiful battle with your protege is the perfect death.

@darknesswave100 Год назад

That speech about using evil to defeat evil was perfect to me. It sums up his mindset as the head captain. He doesn't care if they had to use Aizen to help them, he did what was necessary in order to ensure the survival of the soul society. That's the end goal in the war. Plus I liked how he actually let the captains and lieutenants say their peace when they saw it was him that set aizen free. You'd have never gotten that from Yamamoto but with Kyoraku he realizes the value in letting people voice their concerns. His version of the Gotei isn't being led by somebody who doesn't tolerate others giving their opinions. It's led by somebody who knows it's those who are under you as the head captain that have the most value because without them you have nothing as an organization. It's just one person running things instead of it being a collective of individuals

@MrTommo2304 // Hey man, loving the videos. I only got into Bleach around a year or two ago, but I can’t even begin to imagine having to wait eight years for the next season ^^’ it’s now one of my favorites. If you’ve already done this, then my bad, but I did try searching and could find it. You do lots of “battle analysis” and “top ten best” stuff, but what about a “top ten worst battles” or even just most disappointing battles? It could include stuff like Maske, Gerard, Yammy, etc. Another suggestion is perhaps the “top ten battle ideas” where you simply say battles you’d love to see? Even if they don’t seem likely to happen, but an example could be… I dunno, Shunsui vs Jūshirō. Just some ideas from a Bleach fan, though i’m sure you’ve got tons of ideas on your to-do list already. I feel like my first suggestion could be especially kinda cool though if you did ever get around to doing it. Again, if you’ve already done either of my suggestions, then I apologize lol, I just didn’t see anything like that when searching for them

@brandondiotte2104 Год назад

Can't help but think what the Soul Society would have been like if Shunsui took over as Head-Captain much earlier in the story. Like say after 500 years of relative peace Yamamoto decided to step down and hand over control to Shunsui, do you think Aizen would have as easy of a time to rise to power before rebelling against the Soul Society or would he have even felt the need to do so. Assuming nothing about how Shunsui deals with the other branches of authority changes, especially the Central 46, I think at the very least Aizen is discovered shortly after creating the Visored as I don't believe Shunsui would be so quick to execute his co-captains because of a dictate by the Central 46, nor do I feel Urahara would have been forced to flee Soul Society before Aizen was properly exposed as a traitor.

@samoanjoseph1457 Год назад

There are two things that bug me about the way Kyoraku went about this. 1) This didn't feel like a war where they could afford to be without their best healer. And even with the powerup, Kenpachi's role after that is pretty limited. It's not like he went on to destroy most of the opposing force. Just, what, two of them? Which isn't bad, but I also don't think it was worth Unohaha. 2) I may be over-estimating the impact, but MAYBE if we'd actually gotten to see the impact of masked Visoreds on the Stern Retters, we would know if sacrificing Unohana was actually necessary. it's entirely possible that Shinji, masked, could have soloed half the Sterns just because they're that allergic to Hollows. Which is why it's such a disservice that we don't get to see how masked Visoreds can stack up against them. And don't tell me "they decided not to use them anymore" -- it's a war to end existence as they know it. You don't hold back on any sort of principle. You go all out because there may not be a tomorrow. So if Kyoraku really wanted to be controversial, he could have given the Visoreds his full permission and support to use their masks against the Sterns. If anything should have driven home how much Soul Society needed to get out of their own way, it would have been that.

@namoma4922 Год назад

You can argue that without defeating Gremmy(which he needed his shikai/true power for) a whole lot more of shinigami and quincies alike would have died to him. But I do agree sacrificing unohana is at best controversial, and not just froom an emotional stand point Totally agree with your point on the vizards but that's one of the flaws of the final arc in general, and i m not sure the anime will be really able to fix it

@sidblack728 Год назад

Unfortunately, in an existential war, sacrifices have to be made. Unohana was a great warrior and a great healer... but she could only do one thing at a time. Assuming her assessment of Zaraki was correct, and events tend to indicate it was, the superior potential of Zaraki and the second best healer had more value than the best and second-best healer with a nerfed Zaraki. And there can only be one Kenpachi at a time. We know so little about Isane... only time will tell what the hand-picked lieutenant, now Captain, is capable of.

@permeus2nd Год назад

2:45 and hopefully beef up security, the quinces braking in I can kinda give them a pass on as it was a full military invasion (that still happened way to easily) but way back in the first arc when Ichigo and friends not only got in but then spent days running around unchecked that should have been a kick up the butt even if they were getting what amounted to inside help they shouldn’t have been able to brake into a military base. You also had the betrayal that should have made them paranoid about security and shake everything up as they had 3 “”highly”” trained enemy combatants that knew almost everything about the protections they had.

He was one of my favorite characters before the promotion. But I liked him all the more after because he understood, unlike the rest of the captains, that wars ugly and it’s not heroic and it’s not romanticized. He wasn’t scared to do what needed to be done and he wasn’t here to make the hard decisions. Everybody criticized his choices but that’s a part of leader ship. Everybody thinks that they could be the head captain until it’s time to be the head captain.

Great video, but my only point of contention is the admonition of Yamamoto's kindness. I'd argue that kindness spared Sunsui and Ukitake when they rebelled in the second arc, allowed him to set aside his pride and call on Ichigo and co when facing Aizen, and welcomed Uruhara and the Visoreds back into the fold, all of whom were integral in the final war. The younger, harder Yamamoto could never have done those things, and so would have lost valuable tools.

@jrgenvellesen7800 Год назад

I have heard a saying: "Evil men end wars. Good men secure times of peace." Shunsui fits this really well, imo. He is willing to make morally questionable decisions if he thinks that is what is needed, but he is a good man at his core. His reforms and willingness to work with former enemies after the Blood War shows that he is the right man for the position of Head-Captain, during both war and peace-times.
