YAMAMOTO BANKAI EXPLAINED / Bleach TYBW Episode 6 

This episode was crazy in my opinion one of the best of the year. Music was perfect, animation went off, and even chair-sama made an appearance

I like how Yamamoto is so strong that both main antagonists of the series had to cheese him to beat him

Literally left speechless with this episode. 12/10 and a gorgeous episode. That bankai is just...incredible! I watched about 5 times the way the flames just disappeared. 1000+ years of flames in that sword. Just epic on every level.

Yamamoto's Bankai is seriously broken Burning everything to ash

one small correction regarding yhwachs sword, it wasnt that yama broke it and then entered West, west was already active at that point and the sword just got vaporized when it came into contact with it. its only then that yama chooses to make west visible to provide an explanation

The moment Royd Loyd showed emotion to the dead Quincies, can be considered as a hint. Plus Yama saying "u still have some humanity left" (iirc) is also a hint.

Basically yamamoto's bankai makes him the devil

Correction, yamamoto isnt a special war threat, for now its only ichigo, zaraki and aizen, there are two more

It was pretty cool watching Yamamoto going ape shit

Because Royd copied all of Yuwach's memories that includes his accumulated skills and muscle memory as well. So yes, technically he should have been as skilled a fighter as Yawachs was when he copied him prior to the invasion.

I would have thought his wisdom and intuition would have been able to tell he was fighting a fake.

This battle was truly the best but one thing I never understood is how Kenpachi was able to beat Lloyd with little difficulty who can copy appearance and power and then get bodied by Royd who copies appearance and memories. Was Royd just that much more stronger than his twin naturally?

this episode was just speechless

Perfect adaptation imo and u break his bankai down perfectly for the non manga readers

"we see just the tip touching" Me: giggity

Can't wait till they animate the monk! I like how Z said strongest shinigami or that we know of

This episode was so perfect that I have watched it 3 times now

Yhwach seems to be really afraid of yamaji... The entire point of the first two invasions was to emotionally, mentally and physically break yama.... In the first invasion, over a 100 members of squad 1 were killed, including sasakibe, which deeply affects yamaji, makes him full of guilt and regret, breaking him mentally and emotionally... We see the result of it in the second invasion when yama rushes to the front line due to his clouded judgement, and moment he sees yhwach, he makes a swing with shikai, and then straight up goes to bankai...and uses every single ability, to kill yhwach as brutally as possible, and make him feel the pain that yama felt sasakibe died by suing South... Yamaji had constantly try to suppress his power in bankai as it was about to destroy soul society.... When yamaji turns off his bankai, it was pretty obvious that he was tired, basically now along with being emotionally and mentally, now yamaji is broken physically as well... At last, yhwach blows up 1st company barracks and appears in front of yama, putting yama in state of shock and then he steals his bankai. yhwach had to plan for centuries to beat yama. What an absolute beast.

This episode was legit. Going down in anime history.

Zho, I totally agree with your critique of the brother sequence. It felt kinda cheap that Yamamoto would just fall for such a ploy.. Fighting and Aizen were great in this episode tho!

Kenpachi was revealed in the episode 5 ending, the other two besides ichigo and aizen will be revealed at a later date. But to everyone wondering they are Pesche Guatiche and Dondochaka Birstanne, that's why Hueco Mundo was invaded first. Trust me.

10/10 Bleach is goated this year holy crap!

"We just see his tip touching surfaces" 💀

Huh......didn't know you cover Bleach TYBW episodes good to know.

9:58 correction Yamamoto isn’t apart of the 5 special war powers , but it should be revealed in the next couple of episodes for those who haven’t read the manga

Been waiting over a decade to see this arc animated am my god am I pleased this far it's been amazing and the animation top fucking tier!!!

Goated episode

That violin that plays when Yamamoto nuked those three Quincy. Perfection.

I think they planned to distract us with the crazy action in this chapter from how little it makes sense that kempatchi got off screened by a weak character

like he said "just the tip" lol

Ive waited so long for this, im 29 and probably read this on release when i was 18

I would've love to see a quick skirmish between Kenpachi and Ywbach. Kubo already lying to us 😒

Watching Yamato fight feels unreal it’s kinda like watching shanks fight

Its poetic justice 🔥🔥

Wait negative Celsius is hot...? I thought 0°c was freezing and anything lower is below freezing.

I seen this years ago so is Zhonin just reviewing it now or is it being redone? I never quite found out what was going on with Bleach so not sure why this is being gone over now of all times?

Epic fight and animation. As a manga reader, I wished that skeleton part was done in more menacing and terrifying way but its still very well done and also that the anime at least explained how Yhwach survived his first encounter with Yamamoto and his bankai thousand years ago. Did he escaped, saved by someone or old man Yama just showed him mercy by not killing him? That info wasnt explained in the manga. Overall, episode was lit FIRE!!! Yama is the beast!

No one mentions Jugram, Jugram is a "giver" of abilities just like Yhwach. Just being near Jugram is enough to boost a Quincy's powers which is why Royd could probably hold his own against Yamamoto for so long.

The stenriter Y power is similar to his brother and not at the same time . His brother which was killed by zaraki has the power to mimic it's opponent ( limitations are its understanding it's opponents and spiritual pressure ). Y on the other hand is like remotely controlled by yuwach and having similar ability depending on the person who is remotely controlling him + the amount of spiritual pressure adding in it too . That's the only thing I know about the abilities.

YAMAMOTO was insane his blade when I touched the ground the edge spreads

It’s crazy how Yamamoto had all this hype with his power up only to get one shotted lmao, that’s crazy😂

This arc is the escort vegapunk to dragon arc, I knew it!

The reason the twin clone seemed so strong is because ywach is like the AFO of quincies. he can delegate power as he sees fit to quincies.

10:40 made me laugh

I was alyways wondering how does Aizen stands and also Ichigo across the series to yamamoto's bankai in terms of power

Does anyone know why there are no previews at the end of each Bleach episode for the following episode?

We deserve to see the bankai atleast once more, feels like a crime that we only saw it once

Animation was top notch. Music was good but some pieces keep replaying through every episode. The twin brother thing didn't make any sense, I'd rather have ONE guy that can copy appearance,mind, memories & skills. How in the world would the brother who copies only memories and appearance defeat Kenpachi and the other brother who copies appearance and skills was defeated? It's also lame Yama had to die so early in the story, a master strategist would never fall in the (known) trap of the enemy - that is letting his Bankai get stolen.

Things are getting little to spicy for the pepper 🌶️

Yamomoto!!!!!! 💪🏾🔥

Why where there need to be a setup?

What's bothering me about this (and we saw this in the manga but not as clearly as here) is that as soon as Yama saw Yhwach's sword, he gave up. What was that sword? Did he know that there was no escaping it? It's curious.......

Let's not forget, without Quincy ability to use blut, he would have started disintegrating or dying from standing to close to him... Put this bankai is most series, and it literally wins every fight

Looking forward to bazz bs fight

I didn’t even catch that he was the brother of the other Y. It didn’t make sense lol

Just a heads up, Yamamoto wasn't considered one of the Special Threats.

Idc what any bleach haters say, this episode was amazing 🖤

The next episode the twins are explained

Yamamoto ending is the saddest :( I would definitely say between Yamamoto and Ichibe Hysosube because we didn’t get to see the extent of what his bankai could do though we know it’s really powerful and when Ichibe fought against ywach later on bis skills and I don’t even know if you would call the moves he did Kido because they were on a different level and they even stopped and frightened Ywach for a brief and I do mean brief second but were on another level he’s the only shinigami that I think matches or surpasses Yamamoto in terms of knowledge power and strength

It sucks that it isn't mentioned but Royd royd?? is buffed by the white haired dude

Didn’t kenpachi kill stern Ritter y? how was he still alive to turn into yhwach

Tires in my eyes!

RIP Chair-sama Aizen, you shall be missed. All hail EVA-Aizen-sama!

Kenoachi is revealed and fake bach was disappointed. So yeah that happens

About the stealing bankai, from what I know, there's 3 conditions. 1. Is that, the bankai has to be fully mastered or "That's it, no more extra potential for the user to unlock and find" 2. Is that the stealer has to know how it works or at least see it. 3. Is that your powerful enough to steal it, like your close to the level of the former user or the bankai of the user (u dont need to be stronger). This is why they couldn't steal Ichigo and Yama. Ichigo is the MC, so there's always more potential to find. Yama is too strong for normal quincy to steal his bankai, so quincy king gotta personally do it. Also, Ywach most likely watched the battle of Yama flexing his bankai and so on. All captains are at least 100+ years old, they already fully unlocked their bankai. Them getting stronger is more on just their base form becoming stronger.

Quincy can share power 💯 the double most likely took power from the almighty bauch💯🤷🏽‍♂️

I personally felt like Yama was a tad reckless in that episode. I mean, understandable, given how things played out, but he should've at least held back a little.

Yhbh actually said that Yamamoto wasn’t on his top 5 list of concern…

2:32-2:36 pause

Only makes sense cuz yhwach seemed scared the whole fight even knowing hed have to fight yamamoto, and hr never actually attacks just defense

I think the reason yhwach takes the bankai isn’t because you can’t seal it if you’re too weak but you can’t use it if you’re too not strong enough so it’d just be wasted potential for someone else to steal it

Yamamoto is not a Special War Power, Ywach considered him but w/o his arm being restored he is weaker. The confirmed Special Powers are Ichigo, Aizen, and Zaraki so far. Anyone who thinks about it should be able to guess the fourth. Aizen said there is only one other he considers on his level of intellegence and ability. The fifth was of course reveiled in the manga. No spoilers.

❤️

Does aizen break out?

This was confusing but I'm assuming Roy is one of the strongest Stern Ritter's to beat Kepachi and last as long as he did against the Captain.

The easiest way to know that that was not really Yhwach is simple the guy who was with him did not try to intervene or protect Yhwach at all

Yhwach basically said he could kill aizen but it would take too long. And this was said by a yhwach who's at his weakest.

The way I’m thinking about it, Royd becomes as strong as your memory of your opponent. Yamamoto was much stronger and remembers that. But Yhwach got much stronger over time. He was always in theory going to lose.

correction, yamamoto isnt special threats to ywach

"negative 15 million degrees Celsius, which is equal to 27 million Fahrenheit" Ah yes, I see the American school system taught you well 💀💀💀

Quick correction on the special threats. Full spoilers for the manga. The threats are Aizen, Ichibe, Kenpachi, Urahara, and Ichigo. Yamamoto was never considered a special threat

yamamoto is RIDICULOUSLY broken , but got fooled by a mere trick ..

Explain season 2

Tbh the lack of setup is not too much of a problem for me I think the point is it we as the viewer/ (I say viewer not reader bc if I’m not mistaken some things were rushed bc of Kubos. Deteriorating health) is experiencing this invasion in a similar way as the shinigami so like them this is unexpected and unexplainable….yamma isn’t supposed to die but he does. On some bs bc that’s the only way to beat him. Aizen proved this

Ngl genryusai feels like the true protagonist of bleach smh..

I just want to point out, for all the folks who compare Bleach characters to Naruto and etc., and think Bleach characters would lose to them.. this episode alone puts Bleach characters far beyond planetary durability, because if Yama were to use his bankai on Earth the whole planet would just cease to exist from the heat he emits alone lol. So the fact that the Shinigami are able to not only withstand it but continue to fight in it, along with the Sternritter who can withstand it with Blut Vein puts their durability far beyond anything any Naruto or other character could handle.

RIP Yamamoto.

The Captains never had a chance because of that stealing Bankai plot device the Quincy had! 🤷🏿‍♂️

Escanor vs. Yamamoto

Yamamoto is top 5 in bleach😭💀

Yeah its just kinda hard for kubo to fill up plotholes i guess he prefers it to stay loyal more or less

The fight kind disappointed me since I wish he was actually fighting Yhwach.

TAICHOU!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

Bleach itself is Aizens Bankai

yamamoto got kill blocked by sternriter y.

No Yamamoto is not a special threat because he didn't heal his arm using odihime power.

Yeah that wasn't even Yhwach

One of the most frustrating episodes in anime in general for sure. Everyone just gets fucked up. (anime only)

8:40 If thats case then at same time they shouldve just copied Yamamoto wouldve stood the best chance at defeating him, Wouldve given it away that it wasnt him but still couldve possibly defeated Yamamoto himself if he wouldve copied him...

Im glad Bleach is back but I forgot about Tite Kubo writing.I think we all just wanted Bleach back so much we forgot Kubo be on some bullshit sometimes I agree Yamamoto death was trash but aye the fight was still 10/10
