It may not be filler but it is skip-able. Ginjo and his crew aren’t relevant to the overall plot and are all completely shunned aside after the arc. The only thing that was actually relevant to the overall plot in the end is ichigo recovering his shinigami powers.
@@Itsjustlikemagic hell nah one of the reason why ichigo was able to defeat yhwach was the fullbringers helping him especially tsukishima book of the end
Guys. There was filler, inbetween the fall of Aizen and the beginning of Fullbring. The "Gotei 13 Invasion Arc." IIC, its Episode 311-342. Episode 343 is the first of the Fullbring Arc. Which, absolutely CANNOT be skipped. Full bring arc (343-366) answers so many unanswered questions.
I think the invasion arc is also a worth watch at some point, good animation, interesting story, the only time Kon is relevant outside the episodes when he’s in a makeshift power ranger team. Moments of where everyone fights their clones are one of the best parts, like Urahara using Gigai substitute and Unohana’s kido battle with herself.
28:15 Aizen's rage is one of my favorite anime moments. The VA nailed the revulsion and hatred that Aizen has. "From the beginning, no god stood in the heavens, but now, I will fill that vacancy." Aizen never accepted subjugation under the Soul King, to that **thing**
@Aizen-one These episodes aired years ago. Yet u can't get out of ur chunni phase yet.. The level of cringe is phenomenal and ur are single handedly ruining Aizens reputation.. Gross..
aizen wants to be the king, he wants to rule soul society, thast why he didnt accept yhwach offer, as yhwach wants to destroy everything, aizen does not want that
Yeah the English dub VA also goes so hard. Especially since Aizen in general is so calm and collected. So seeing him loosing his shit is sort of startling
Idk why people keep saying to skip the Fullbring arc when its a canon arc and you literally cant watch the TYBW without it. So many weirdos tell reaction channels to skip the arc and when the channels obviously watch the arc, they question why people even considered for them to skip it since you HAVE to watch it. Its so dumb. They just say to skip it because some people in the fanbase don’t like it but it’s literally canon.
To explain better, every relevant character of bleach has its own poem, Kubo loves associating a character to a short poem. The poem about snake and love is Rangiku’s poem.
Don't forget Tousen, he would have defended Aizen from Gin. That may have been Gin's first opportunity to betray Aizen with Tousen gone, because Tousen was loyal to Aizen (or at least loyal to his plansi).
@@praz7yea the power of the Hogyuko gave a sense of superiority over everyone ultimately convincing him he was untouchable which almost led to his death it was probably the first time since they met where Aizen wasn’t on guard Rip my boy Gin he was close but Hogyoku is too busted
@ThyUseless aizen was right tho. With hogyoku he didn't have worry about anything. Look at happened, aizen died and cameback to life from gin's bankai and ichigo's mugetsu all in one day. He only got sealed because of himself. Aizen was right , there is no need to be on guard because of the hogyoku.
@@sneakygin aizen's soul simply got sad when ichigo, the equal he always long for, lost all his powers, the hogyuoku sensed that and took away his powers as well. It literally made him powerless as ichigo. Aizen could've killed ichigo multiple times, but never did, gave him a chance to evolve, despite knowing ichigos talents
As a kid, I thought the fullbring arc was bad. All the power levels getting reset after the Aizen climax was jarring. Now as an adult, I appreciate it so much as it explores Ichigo's character and his insecurities.
@@MrLionniol While overall I agree, even as an adult I gotta admit it can come off as kinda weird compared to what came before. Despite enjoying it myself I wouldn't even flinch to hear any particular person didn't really like it.
The bad things about Fullbring Arc is how insignificant the antagonist outside Ginjo and Tsukishima. Also, I wish Orihime and Sado given more role and upgrade.
The thousand year war has been referenced before indirectly, even at the start of the series. It's the logical conflict of the series that was set up from the beginning, but you'll see what it's about when you reach it. Until then there's the Lost Agent Arc, which is basically an important transition / set up arc.
24:40! correct!! Aizen is just assuming, b/c he can't understand it. Just a clarification on spiritual pressure. If you cannot feel it when they DO have it. Means yours is too low compared to theirs. As someone has said before, the weaker spiritual pressure gets pushed out. Aizen isn't even close to Ichigo's lvl. Oh man the goosebumps.
The raw strength which Ichigo displays while fighting Aizen before using Final GetsugaTensho, was attained by 2 factors in my opinion: 1. His all forms of powers were in harmony and acceptance of Ichigo. 2. He fought hard in his spirit worls for straight 3 months.
[Tidbits & Clarifications] - If it wasn't clear by the poem at the start of Ep 308. Gin did all of this because Aizen took a piece of Rangikus soul, and from that moment Gin vowed to kill him. For that cause, he was willing to do whatever evil deed, so part of him doubts whether Rangiku could ever love him after what he's done. That's what the poem was about at the start of the episode. "If you became a snake tomorrow And began devouring people, If you roared your love for me With that mouth you use to devour people Could I still say that I love you As I do today?" - Tensa Zangetsu is the embodiment of Ichigo therefore he knows Ichigo more than anyone, the reason that he's sad about Ichigo learning this ability is that he knows how important it is for Ichigo to have the power to protect his loved ones. (This is something that's addressed in the upcoming arc so DO NOT SKIP) [Lotta Reading for those interested, Mini Book] These episodes cover content found in Volume 48 of Bleach titled "God is Dead" which is very important here and later within the story, but today I'm only talking about what we do know. That title derives from the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who began his quote with : “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.” the quote ended with : “Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it” Aizen similarly once said: “Since The Beginning, no one has ever stood in the heavens, neither you, nor I, not even God himself, but that emptiness in the throne of heaven will be filled from this day forth” This tells us that Aizen is an Übermensch. what is that? The Übermensch is a being who reaches their best self by not succumbing to religion or morality, a being who can affirm their own life, not seek purpose in what they have been told to do. The Übermensch can determine for themselves, their own value. Therein being a God. which is why here Aizen says: “The Victor must always speak not of the world as it is, but of how it should be” If something greater does not deem it so, then for what purpose do we exist? In this philosophy where “God is Dead” it must then be understood that all things that existed through that God are destined for the same fate, therein sets the reality that there is no meaning to life. This leads us to another Aizen quote “All living things believe in someone superior to them, and cannot live unless they blindly follow them. Then, the objects of their faith try to escape this crushing pressure by seeking another being that is more superior to them to believe in. And they, in turn, seek a stronger being still. That is how all kings are born. That is how... all gods are born.” people still need something to believe in, because that is where purpose is derived, but if the God they seek and believe in is vacant then they are living a life with false purpose and worse they won't be able to escape it. The last bit I’ll cover (cause this has already stretched far enough) is the additional aspect of Nietzsche’s Übermensch philosophy which talks about “The Last Man” In short, The Last Man is a concept in which we as a people from lacking meaning choose to do what’s comforting and easy instead of taking charge of our own purpose. In other words, The Last Man is a person who chooses to keep things the way they are because it’s safe and comfortable We see this with Urahara, who knows the truth and can enact change, but he chooses the status quo, he chooses complacency. This is why Aizen is upset with him, because with a mind as great as theirs, why would you choose to uphold a falsehood? Why choose to not be the best version of you? (There is so much more but I can’t speak on it now, plus this is already far to much for a youtube comment)
CFYOW spoilers To kisuke’s credit, he has tried to to come up with ways to replace the soul king, but for one reason or another it never happened. I don’t even get the impression that he’s happy to maintain the status qou like how ichibei seems happy about it.
@@cke4174 Yeah, Ichibei participated in crafting the "status quo" so he wouldn't fit the idea of the last man, and as you said he seems happy about it. Urahara who (as you noted) tried, yet gave up for the sake of a perceived balance. The reality that he understood and gave in despite having the tools to affect change is what makes him the last man.
i dont know if it was ever brought up but i think ichigo evolved WAY past aizen because aizen wasnt willing to sacrifice anything of meaning but ichigo was willing to sacrifice virtually everything and as halibel said, nothing in this world comes without sacrifice
Mugetsu translate to Moonless sky Zangetsu means Moon cutter and Getsuga tenshō means piercer of the heavens In the Final getsuga tensho Ichigo himself becomes the Moon and by using Mugetsu he sacrificing his power to defeat Aizen
A little fun fact, the filler in between this arc and the fullbringer arc is in a state of semi canon due to the lightnovels that are canon mentioning that events from the filler happening.
You have to watch the fullbringer arc it’s not filler and is part of the manga. A lot of people hate on it, it’s actually good and confronts Ichigo’s insecurities.
Plss Don't forget that conversation between Aizen and Urahara about the existence of SOUL KING because after the fullbring arc Soul king would be more important in TYBW arc and you will know why Aizen hated that thing Btw They both created Hogyoku it's because of Soul King for the reason that Aizen found out the real problems of 3 worlds and he wants to fix that where the existence of Soul King is not needed to maintain the 3 worlds the rest was explained in TYBW arc and CFYOW light novel
The Lost Agent Arc.....some people don't like it but I personally really love it, because the animation quality steps up tremendously and it has a pretty nice ending to it as a culmination of the OG show. You should definitely watch it
Bleach anime is ok but Kubo's manga is far superior to it and how he left poems and notes and sketches to bring out what he intends and his panelling and foreshadowing for the storyline is so awesome as a manga. Whole OG Bleach needs a proper 1 to 1 remake with no censoring and cutting
24:02 YES! I had been writing a comment to counter your other theories about restraint and giving up spiritual pressure until this moment. (Mind you , this is my impression from being anime-only.) As explained during the encounter with Aizen in the false town, sensing spiritual pressure is about the delta between the source and sensor. I generally picture everyone so bathed in Ichigo's power that they can't tell it apart from the rest of the universe. You can't pinpoint a source of power if everywhere around you also maxes out your sensory level. PS: The Fullbring stuff is important.
This sort of reminds me of when Rukia couldn't feel the hollow coming to attack Ichigo's family in the first episode because of Ichigo's reiatsu being so strong
I liked the fullbring arc (not saying it's my favorite but still good) because it tied many loose end and eventually, the loop was closed. Sure, the power scaling was much lower, but that was ballsy and great character wise.
I remember back in the day when the next arc (my favorite arc) was said to be the last, only 7 years later to surprise us that it would all be continuing to the end. Sure, the new episodes are coming out pretty slow, but at least you don't have to wait that handful of years. lol
Been waiting so long for you to reach these episodes. Amazing art, music, and story. Ichigo's form for the Final Getsugatensho was so cool. Thanks for bringing us on this journey with you, and there is so much more to see!
26:52 He has literally become one with Zanpakuto. He doesn't any sword to shiw Shikai. Looking at his body will be enough to make you fall under his shikai effect.
Because gin needed 3 things for his plan to work 1- He needed to learn kyoka suigetsu's weakness 2- A situation where he can be activate his bankai without suspicion thats why gin did activate his bankai against ichigo he didnt need his bankai against ichigo 3- Aizen to let his guard down. Aizen never let his guard down not until he subjugated the hogyoku. Aizen and Kisuke repeatedly said he did let his guard down after hogyoku.
It's funny you said "that's it" when learning about him losing his powers but you're forgetting something. When he was young his father told him that he was called Ichigo because it could mean "to protect one thing" because he hoped Ichigo would help and protect people. Since then he tried his best to live like this and even decided to learn karate (he was scared to do it before) so he could protect his mom. Unfortunately his mom died and he blamed himself for it for the rest of his life until now. Meeting Rukia gave him the power to protect his family, that's why he is so grateful to her. But after getting powers, and becoming one of the most powerfuls shinigami, he is now losing it all. This is probably worse than death to Ichigo because now he can't even accomplish his sole purpose in life, that is "to protect one thing".
Fullbring Arc is defoo worth seeing, it’s not exactly filler coz there’s references about it in the latest season and it’s important to the main story as well
Finally I can now watch your reaction 😭!!! Literally been very busy that I didn't even knew your so far now with ur bleach reaction! "If tomorrow you'll turn into snake and starts devouring humans and with the same mouth you devoured them, You cry out to me I Love You! I wonder.. would I still be able to say I Love You the same way I do today?" Honestly that friggin peom from Gin will always stay with me! 🥺 Its one of the best poem's in bleach! I Just cannot with how Kubo made Gins character so interesting! He knew that he did terrible things just to avenge Rangiku and through that poem it hurts to know that Gin knew he didn't deserve Rangikus Love cause of all the things he did😭!!! Its beautiful and sad at the same time! Aahh! Seriously Gin and Matsumoto's love story will forever be one of the best!!
yes, we know that in bleach, if the spiritual pressure is too strong for another being, it affects them, makes them weak (also why sometimes we see some normal people pass out), ichigo intentionally suppressed his pressure not to hurt his friends. in order to release his power while fighting then he takes aizen away
This is just my personal head cannon as I used to be baffled why Gin would wait so long to fully betray Aizen too, besides the fact that his arrogance and astonishment at his new power was leading him to fight ooc(aka without everyone hypnotized) I wonder if Gin wanted to wait till the hogyoku was completed in order to use it's power to heal Rangiku, as she was one of Aizen's victims for the mistake of being reborn in the SS with a piece of Reio's body inhabiting her soul, which was forcibly extracted giving her amnesia and scarring her soul, potentially also reducing her potential, which was what led Gin to join and betray him.
here the matter is different and even the author did not disclose it. If the force is very high, then the opponent is not able to feel it. Captains are no longer able to feel Aizen's power. However, Ichigo's friend feels it, it turns out she should be above the captain's level.
Ichigo fight with aizen is incredibly spectacular! And that black form , i love that move !🔥😆👍 and aizen is most definitely one of my favorites villain with great IQ brains ! My villain favorite is when aizen breaks down on how he'd do it , and his reveal ! ( and this may be off topic , but my most absolute favorite character of bleach , is yoruichi 💪😺❤ !! She's badass , very gorgeous , funny , and strong as hell ! She reminds me of mirko from mha ) this ep is one of my favorites peak of bleach ! 😊👍 i hope yall agreed with me !
It's probably a mistake by the animators to have those test strikes before Ichigo grabbed the Blade, ass the test shots probably should have done similar damage to the area. )I don't recall the test strikes in the manga though it has been awhile so i could have forgotten)
Again, I'm completely sure you're well ahead of the part where this is revealed, but I'll state it for effect. This whole final getsuga tensho thing should give you *giant screaming flashbacks* to when Ishida also had full control over his spiritual pressure and was going to "lose" his powers permanently in exchange for a temporary boost. Ichigo's attacks are all moon themed (heaven piercing moon fang etc), Mugetsu means "No Moon".
Aizen's complete loss of composure is so satisfying after ~250 episodes of him being a smug asshole. I did like his final line before being sealed though.
Personally, I love that there's a MAJOR spoiler for Ichigo's origin embedded in episode 1. Ichigo's blanket has a VERY familiar pattern on it...Where have I seen that pattern in another episode before... I'd be LION if I said it didn't look familiar. 😅😉 On another note, Ichigo is 15 to start with, his name being a clue ('Ichi' is Japanese for 1, and 'Go' for 5. 15).
He was in there for 2000 hours I think and that's like close to 3months but seeing how strong he was 20000 hours probably should have been how long kubo should have made ichigo stay in the precipe world (hyperbolic time chamber)
Aizen lost because he wanted to. He let Ichigo live, he gave Ichigo a chance to evolve, he even passed time and said, Ichigo will come here with new powers. The hogyoku simply fulfilled aizen's desire to lose, as his equal, Ichigo, lost all his powers. If Aizen truly wanted to win, with his great intellect, he would've killed ichigo and Urahara when they were weak. Instead, Aizen saw Ichigo as that being who was as special and talented as he is. This is why, the only one who cared about Aizen, when he was defeated by Yhwach and put back prison, was Ichigo, no one else gave a shit, even though Aizen saved them all.
Hello! I'm following the bleach reactions and I hope that, after the fullbring arc, you'll get to the most recent arc, which is currently still in production!

The raw strength which Ichigo displays while fighting Aizen before using Final GetsugaTensho, was attained by 2 factors in my opinion:

2. He fought hard in his spirit worls for straight 3 months.

"If you became a snake tomorrow
And began devouring people,
If you roared your love for me
With that mouth you use to devour people
Could I still say that I love you
As I do today?"
- Tensa Zangetsu is the embodiment of Ichigo therefore he knows Ichigo more than anyone, the reason that he's sad about Ichigo learning this ability is that he knows how important it is for Ichigo to have the power to protect his loved ones.
(This is something that's addressed in the upcoming arc so DO NOT SKIP)
[Lotta Reading for those interested, Mini Book]
These episodes cover content found in Volume 48 of Bleach titled "God is Dead" which is very important here and later within the story, but today I'm only talking about what we do know. That title derives from the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who began his quote with
: “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.”
the quote ended with
: “Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it”
Aizen similarly once said: “Since The Beginning, no one has ever stood in the heavens, neither you, nor I, not even God himself, but that emptiness in the throne of heaven will be filled from this day forth”
This tells us that Aizen is an Übermensch.
what is that?
The Übermensch is a being who reaches their best self by not succumbing to religion or morality, a being who can affirm their own life, not seek purpose in what they have been told to do. The Übermensch can determine for themselves, their own value.
Therein being a God.
which is why here Aizen says: “The Victor must always speak not of the world as it is, but of how it should be”
If something greater does not deem it so, then for what purpose do we exist?
In this philosophy where “God is Dead” it must then be understood that all things that existed through that God are destined for the same fate, therein sets the reality that there is no meaning to life.
This leads us to another Aizen quote
“All living things believe in someone superior to them, and cannot live unless they blindly follow them. Then, the objects of their faith try to escape this crushing pressure by seeking another being that is more superior to them to believe in. And they, in turn, seek a stronger being still. That is how all kings are born. That is how... all gods are born.”
people still need something to believe in, because that is where purpose is derived, but if the God they seek and believe in is vacant then they are living a life with false purpose and worse they won't be able to escape it.
The last bit I’ll cover (cause this has already stretched far enough) is the additional aspect of Nietzsche’s Übermensch philosophy which talks about “The Last Man”
In short, The Last Man is a concept in which we as a people from lacking meaning choose to do what’s comforting and easy instead of taking charge of our own purpose. In other words, The Last Man is a person who chooses to keep things the way they are because it’s safe and comfortable
We see this with Urahara, who knows the truth and can enact change, but he chooses the status quo, he chooses complacency.
This is why Aizen is upset with him, because with a mind as great as theirs, why would you choose to uphold a falsehood? Why choose to not be the best version of you?
(There is so much more but I can’t speak on it now, plus this is already far to much for a youtube comment)

Btw what Aizen told to Ichigo after he regenerated and his sword started fading away was not a lie :D
You have to watch the fullbringer arc it’s not filler and is part of the manga. A lot of people hate on it, it’s actually good and confronts Ichigo’s insecurities.
Plss Don't forget that conversation between Aizen and Urahara about the existence of SOUL KING because after the fullbring arc Soul king would be more important in TYBW arc and you will know why Aizen hated that thing
Btw They both created Hogyoku it's because of Soul King for the reason that Aizen found out the real problems of 3 worlds and he wants to fix that where the existence of Soul King is not needed to maintain the 3 worlds the rest was explained in TYBW arc and CFYOW light novel
Nice These episodes never get old.
The Fullbringer Arc is NOT filler. It is canon. And very important to the growth of Ichigo.
The Lost Agent Arc.....some people don't like it but I personally really love it, because the animation quality steps up tremendously and it has a pretty nice ending to it as a culmination of the OG show. You should definitely watch it
Bleach anime is ok but Kubo's manga is far superior to it and how he left poems and notes and sketches to bring out what he intends and his panelling and foreshadowing for the storyline is so awesome as a manga. Whole OG Bleach needs a proper 1 to 1 remake with no censoring and cutting
FullBring arc is the last arc before Blood War. You'll get there eventually. It's also canon and very related to what you just watched.
24:02 YES! I had been writing a comment to counter your other theories about restraint and giving up spiritual pressure until this moment. (Mind you , this is my impression from being anime-only.) As explained during the encounter with Aizen in the false town, sensing spiritual pressure is about the delta between the source and sensor. I generally picture everyone so bathed in Ichigo's power that they can't tell it apart from the rest of the universe. You can't pinpoint a source of power if everywhere around you also maxes out your sensory level.
PS: The Fullbring stuff is important.
This sort of reminds me of when Rukia couldn't feel the hollow coming to attack Ichigo's family in the first episode because of Ichigo's reiatsu being so strong
if anyone said skip fullbring arc they are stupid
Fullbring arc is a must
I liked the fullbring arc (not saying it's my favorite but still good) because it tied many loose end and eventually, the loop was closed.
Sure, the power scaling was much lower, but that was ballsy and great character wise.
fullbringer arc is bleach most well written arc.
I remember back in the day when the next arc (my favorite arc) was said to be the last, only 7 years later to surprise us that it would all be continuing to the end. Sure, the new episodes are coming out pretty slow, but at least you don't have to wait that handful of years. lol
This time Ichigo was the one who stopped Aizen's theme. Love the call back.
Been waiting so long for you to reach these episodes. Amazing art, music, and story. Ichigo's form for the Final Getsugatensho was so cool. Thanks for bringing us on this journey with you, and there is so much more to see!
12:48 That right there, is Bleach's "Puny God" moment.
25:01 Literally one of the most Iconic moments in anime history.
Aizen was always right. His argument is literally the truth.
ink? brush strokes???
26:52 He has literally become one with Zanpakuto. He doesn't any sword to shiw Shikai. Looking at his body will be enough to make you fall under his shikai effect.
Because gin needed 3 things for his plan to work
1- He needed to learn kyoka suigetsu's weakness
2- A situation where he can be activate his bankai without suspicion thats why gin did activate his bankai against ichigo he didnt need his bankai against ichigo
3- Aizen to let his guard down. Aizen never let his guard down not until he subjugated the hogyoku. Aizen and Kisuke repeatedly said he did let his guard down after hogyoku.
21:35 T-T I'm not crying! You're crying!
Fullbring Arc was surprising good!
DON'T SKIP THE FULLBRING ARC THIS ARC LITERALLY CANON
9:48 one of the best entrances in shonen on par with Naruto arriving at the hidden leaf village
THERE ARE NO MORE FILLERS. So please watch the rest of the show as it contains important information for the final arc.
Rip Ichigo, can't wait to see you reacting to rest of Bleach with Chad as the next main character!
These episodes were hype!
We go back to the basics baby. Bring on that juicy fullbring arc!
"Who are we at war with?" I believe it was mentioned in season 1
Gin simply didn’t expect Aizen to fuse with the Hogoku and believed the right opportunity will be easier to find during the war
He called the Soul King a 'thing' but Aizen is quite accurate there, it's not just poor word choice
It's funny you said "that's it" when learning about him losing his powers but you're forgetting something.
When he was young his father told him that he was called Ichigo because it could mean "to protect one thing" because he hoped Ichigo would help and protect people. Since then he tried his best to live like this and even decided to learn karate (he was scared to do it before) so he could protect his mom.
Unfortunately his mom died and he blamed himself for it for the rest of his life until now.
Meeting Rukia gave him the power to protect his family, that's why he is so grateful to her. But after getting powers, and becoming one of the most powerfuls shinigami, he is now losing it all. This is probably worse than death to Ichigo because now he can't even accomplish his sole purpose in life, that is "to protect one thing".
Ichigo and Rukia was never teased lol
EXACTLY LMFAO
Fullbring Arc is defoo worth seeing, it’s not exactly filler coz there’s references about it in the latest season and it’s important to the main story as well
Finally I can now watch your reaction 😭!!! Literally been very busy that I didn't even knew your so far now with ur bleach reaction!
"If tomorrow you'll turn into snake and starts devouring humans and with the same mouth you devoured them, You cry out to me I Love You! I wonder.. would I still be able to say I Love You the same way I do today?"
Honestly that friggin peom from Gin will always stay with me! 🥺 Its one of the best poem's in bleach! I Just cannot with how Kubo made Gins character so interesting! He knew that he did terrible things just to avenge Rangiku and through that poem it hurts to know that Gin knew he didn't deserve Rangikus Love cause of all the things he did😭!!! Its beautiful and sad at the same time! Aahh! Seriously Gin and Matsumoto's love story will forever be one of the best!!
The best fight of the show pre tybw
Aizen is peak villain for me. Sad to see him go down like that 😞
he never really went down though.. just sealed.. he comes back later.
If you want to see the trial Ichigo will have to go through on his path to regain his power’s then you gotta watch the Fullbring/Lost Agent arc! :)
It lead’s to a LOT of important character development on Ichigo’s part! :)
Please don't skip Fullbring arc. It's not a filler!!!!!
The fullbringer arc is actually very important and NOT a filler
Lets not forget that Ichigo has been in his Bankai state for 3 months straight.
yes, we know that in bleach, if the spiritual pressure is too strong for another being, it affects them, makes them weak (also why sometimes we see some normal people pass out), ichigo intentionally suppressed his pressure not to hurt his friends.
in order to release his power while fighting then he takes aizen away
This is just my personal head cannon as I used to be baffled why Gin would wait so long to fully betray Aizen too,
besides the fact that his arrogance and astonishment at his new power was leading him to fight ooc(aka without everyone hypnotized) I wonder if Gin wanted to wait till the hogyoku was completed in order to use it's power to heal Rangiku, as she was one of Aizen's victims for the mistake of being reborn in the SS with a piece of Reio's body inhabiting her soul, which was forcibly extracted giving her amnesia and scarring her soul, potentially also reducing her potential, which was what led Gin to join and betray him.
love that you reacted to this
here the matter is different and even the author did not disclose it. If the force is very high, then the opponent is not able to feel it. Captains are no longer able to feel Aizen's power. However, Ichigo's friend feels it, it turns out she should be above the captain's level.
Just wanted to let you know you are a really entertaining reactor. Thank you for reacting to bleach. Much appreciated 😊
Keeep uppp the bleach content you seem to get the most views on these videos❤️🔥
Ichigo fight with aizen is incredibly spectacular! And that black form , i love that move !🔥😆👍 and aizen is most definitely one of my favorites villain with great IQ brains ! My villain favorite is when aizen breaks down on how he'd do it , and his reveal ! ( and this may be off topic , but my most absolute favorite character of bleach , is yoruichi 💪😺❤ !! She's badass , very gorgeous , funny , and strong as hell ! She reminds me of mirko from mha ) this ep is one of my favorites peak of bleach ! 😊👍 i hope yall agreed with me !
Dang, found ur channel last week and already caught up on your bleach reactions, wfh lets u do some crazy things
I was waiting for this, the yeeeesss, that she scream
37:32 would you believe overseeing witches to capture dragons?
You are going to be my second favorite Bleach Reactor. Love your energy. ❤
It's probably a mistake by the animators to have those test strikes before Ichigo grabbed the Blade, ass the test shots probably should have done similar damage to the area. )I don't recall the test strikes in the manga though it has been awhile so i could have forgotten)
Watch the fullbring arc and then definitely get into tybw which is beyond hype
She didnt skip fullbring and already finish cour 1 n 2 tybw
Mod soul arc is actually pretty good so many great fights in that filler
Again, I'm completely sure you're well ahead of the part where this is revealed, but I'll state it for effect. This whole final getsuga tensho thing should give you *giant screaming flashbacks* to when Ishida also had full control over his spiritual pressure and was going to "lose" his powers permanently in exchange for a temporary boost. Ichigo's attacks are all moon themed (heaven piercing moon fang etc), Mugetsu means "No Moon".
Aizen's complete loss of composure is so satisfying after ~250 episodes of him being a smug asshole.
I did like his final line before being sealed though.
Ichigo become someone everyone expected him to be. But with the cost of losing himself and his power.
Since both spirits are fused, this might be what Ichigo’s hollow also feels.
Personally, I love that there's a MAJOR spoiler for Ichigo's origin embedded in episode 1.
Ichigo's blanket has a VERY familiar pattern on it...Where have I seen that pattern in another episode before...
I'd be LION if I said it didn't look familiar. 😅😉
On another note, Ichigo is 15 to start with, his name being a clue ('Ichi' is Japanese for 1, and 'Go' for 5. 15).
I love the intro of this vid My Bleach Academia
He was in there for 2000 hours I think and that's like close to 3months but seeing how strong he was 20000 hours probably should have been how long kubo should have made ichigo stay in the precipe world (hyperbolic time chamber)
Aizen lost because he wanted to. He let Ichigo live, he gave Ichigo a chance to evolve, he even passed time and said, Ichigo will come here with new powers. The hogyoku simply fulfilled aizen's desire to lose, as his equal, Ichigo, lost all his powers. If Aizen truly wanted to win, with his great intellect, he would've killed ichigo and Urahara when they were weak. Instead, Aizen saw Ichigo as that being who was as special and talented as he is. This is why, the only one who cared about Aizen, when he was defeated by Yhwach and put back prison, was Ichigo, no one else gave a shit, even though Aizen saved them all.
Hello! I'm following the bleach reactions and I hope that, after the fullbring arc, you'll get to the most recent arc, which is currently still in production!
Bruh Kubo loves making depressing ass love stories man 😂😂😂 Renji Rukia Ichigo orihime Rangiku Gin Masaki Ishin Katagiri n Ryuken all beautiful but depressing asf
Always thought it would be hollow Ichigo vs Hollow Azien
I still think this is Ichigo's coldest form 🥶
I am so pumped
Don't skip the Fullbring Arc at all. It's INTEGRAL for the story leading up to TYBW
I love your reactio Awake-chan!!!!
