The Perfection Speech tends to be one of the fanbase's favorite scenes in general. As crazy and off-putting as the man is, Mayuri forces us to put respect on his name. He cannot be ignored, or looked down on.
Tbh, That perfection speech is actually pretty true to even real life. Humans have perfected a few things to the point they're either bland and uninspiring, or the progress has basically ground to a halt( in this case cars and especially guns in regard to the later bit of my sentence. Who knows when the next BIG revolution in regards to either, that has to be perfected will come.
Mayuri basically creates Superhuman serums without the plot convenience. For example, the Speed Force allows The Flash to perceive normal speed “normally” despite the fact that he perceives reality in what is basically stopped time. This drug grants the person heightened perception to the point where just 1 second feels like an eternity, but it doesn’t grant the person the ability physically keep up with that level of of perception thus paralyzing them. Mayuri did the Infinite Void first lmao 😂
@@qwirkt he does that a lot in his free time. It's not that it's a failure, the point is to attain a realistic or I guess scientific version of those powers. He even has Superman's laser eyes in the Hell arc lol. And look at what he did to zombie Toshiro? he basically created a time loop ability for Toshiro but of course, the effects were more literal and detrimental to the user.
3:00 Few have realized it, but Mayuri did with Uryu what Szayel did with his brother Gilfort; It's a great little detail that Kubo does to demonstrate the meticulous nature of the two that comes with being a man of science and that they are two sides of the same coin, only one works for Aizen. and another for the SS.
Mayuri has the most wardrobe changes in the series and gets 1-2 new outfits every arc you're gonna love it. For reference Mayuri is Kubo's favorite character to draw (he even cosplayed him once) and shunsui is his favorite character he's made overall
the "that's it comment" is truly honest, he's not trying to insult him he's disappointed, it's reflected in the perfection speech, Szayelaporro thinks his ability to be reborn and be "immortal" is perfection and that's why he can't see all of it's flaws, in the world of bleach being immortal is hardly the be all end all of things as Mayuri showed "what if you wanted to die" because there are states worse than death.
Mayuri is also Kubo's favorite character he gets a lot of scenes and outfits, you can bet that Kubo never does anything unplanned with Mayuri. So based on that we establish that nothing happens just randomly about him. The fact that Uryu defeated Mayuri has catched him off guard completely not that he would respect Uryu for that i think it was a wake up call for him that he became too complacent and he has to prepare more for fights. Also Mayuri actually treats Nemu better here, despite the fact that she gave Uryu the antidote last time. He upgraded her body to be more durable and better in combat and he doesn't go out of his way to punish Nemu for losing in the fight instead he fixes her up. And you are right i think Mayuri certainly looked at Nemu to not just analyze the effect of what Szayel did to her but he also wanted to see her reaction to it as well, after all Nemu is also a test subject to Mayuri. And to what Mayuri will do with the room... well let's just say by the time we get to when that will come back you will long forgot about it xD
I think it was Yugioh R that gave me a new perspective on what "perfection" is. One guy calls his opponent a perfect duelist, and then defeats him, and people ask why he called his opponent perfect, and it's pointed out "He called him "A Perfect Duelist' not 'The Perfect Duelist' it means he was saying his opponent had reached his absolute peak and could no longer improve." Yugioh R makes the claim that "perfection" exists but not in the way you think, perfection is specific to the individual and specifically is when you reach your maximum potential and can no longer get better, essentially it's a dead end, you'll never become a perfect person because that's impossible, but you can become the perfect version of yourself.
Mayuri is my favorite Bleach character. The way he fights is the most unique within the captains. He as cleary the best designs too. And in the last arc of Bleach, Mayuri truly peaks as a character.
This was the definition of the concept of 'monster vs monster'. Sometimes to take out a monster you need someone who is also one. And the monologue about perfection and stagnation perfectly suits Mayuri and his unyielding mad scientist status.
Indeed. Their clash of ideals being brought back up in the Pernida fight was a great scene. Ultimately Mayuri winning this fight was the beginning of him slowly becoming more heroic within the story, while still retaining his mad scientist persona.
@@jrgenvellesen7800 Yes, it was him essentially fighting for the greater good while still indulging in his twisted scientific whims. After all, what good would it be conducting research when enemies of Soul Society keep trying to destroy it and your lab along with it?
Yes. The fact that Mayuri is clearly one of the most useful and capable Captains, is a good showcase of the Soul Reapers being more focused on ‘The Greater Good’ then being standard heros. Mayuri is someone you want to have on your side when things are dire, as the story shows many times.
@@jrgenvellesen7800 Indeed. He'd find an unexpected way to counter an opponent or opponents no matter their skill/power. As long as he gets to conduct research afterwards he's happy. Also liked how outspoken he is especially with people who are not exactly tolerant of that. This was best seen when he called Yamamoto out for not killing Yhwach in the past and now he's a far deadlier problem. Yamamoto could not rebut.
@@manuelacosta9463 I really like that trait of Mayuri’s as well. It fits with his whole goal of always striving for progress and improvment. Him being willing to call out even Yamamoto when the Head-Captain was clearly trying to pin the blame of the coming conflict on Mayuri, was a badass moment. Him roasting Shunsui about his leadership during the war was also really funny.
Yes. I think the reason he smiled like that was because he knew Szayel was drugged. Knowing the backstory of Nemu, does make me think Mayuri was pleased he got to kill Szayel the way he did, because of what he did to Nemu.
Mayuri is one of my favorite characters, and one that is reiterated *TIME AND TIME AGAIN* that you are *REALLY* glad that he's on your side. Kubo really has this way of portraying the "genius" characters as truly morally dubious. Even if they're doing the morally "right thing" in Bleach, they would turn on you in an *INSTANT* if they think that would be the correct choice 😅
Uryu not being able to do a thing about Mayuri and holding resentment over that man saving his life is something worth tucking into the back pocket. As much as characters aren't feuding with the Soul Society any more, they're still a morally compromised institution captained by genocidal sadists.
This comment is New Mayuri and Arrancar/Espada Lore that is NOT a Spoiler for the story Yeah about Mayuri...Kubo on his Klub Outside Q&A recently gave clarity on Mayuri's body paint. Basically Kubo said Mayuri has a device with preprogrammed patterns on it that he can choose at will and have it applied to his body. What makes it interesting is the fact we know for a fact throughout his battles the body painting never once shows to be smudged or damaged so some of us fans believe the "body paint" must really be moreso an injection put into his body. Which makes sense bcus he's already altered his own body so much as is (prime example this very video) so it isn't outlandish to think this is what the device he made does. There's also some stuff Kubo recently clarified on about the Arrancars. Specifically their masks. Kubo was asked if the Arrancars/Espada took bath's and if they wash under their masks or is that part the mask covering always dirty. Kubo replied with saying they do take baths but the Masks aren't actually attached to the Arrancars/Espadas body but ever so slightly hover above the skin but he likes to believe they do wash underneath that spot the mask is covering. So with that we now know they can remove said mask and put it back in place at need be.
he did not replace his organs. I remember as, he made it to where he had 2 of every organ in his body. 2 sets of every organ. So when ziy destroyed even the heart mayuri would have a second heart
This is the fight where Mayuri being so loved by Kubo becomes obvious in how peak it was, Perfection speech up there with King and the Horse speech, alongside his at least once an arc costume change pattern starting now. And this fight gets further spice way down the line too which even further pushes it up.
Mayuri's monolog was the first time I got to truly understand him as a character beyond him being a mad scientist with no morals, actually turned him into an interesting character for me, and yes the way he ended the fight was actually terrifying, Szayelaporro was a good opponent but he lost even before the fight begun, about Mayuri and Nemu, in the distant future, their relationship is going to be expanded quite a bit, and the only thing I can say is that I really didn't like Nemu and Mayuri's relationship dynamic, or even Nemu at all but that madman Kubo actually made me care for Nemu in the end, I absoultely did not see that coming, next is Kennpachi VS Noittra, enjoy.
And yeah, Mayuri is evil, but he's too useful to kill. There is a reason he can kill his own men and get away with it. He is a real asset. He not only has the strength of a captain, supplimented by too many inventions to quantify, he is the singular scientific force in Soul Society advancing and maintaining all its technology.
This is definitely one of the most wild fights with how much it’s based on tricks and inventions. But definitely the ending part is amazing and solidified Mayuri as a great character. The whole perfection speech is amazing
If you ever watch the anime, just know that mayuri’s line about labelling the jar he’s gonna stuff Szayel in is one of the coldest lines I’ve ever seen done in a show its jaw dropping first time
7:26ish I wouldn't be surprised if it's neither that Mayuri wasn't emotionally affected, but also that he didn't care about Nemu. I interpreted it as him absolutely being emotionally affected about Nemu, but not because he cares about her as a person -- because he views her as his property. He treats most people like property and things, like the squad members he blew up in the Soul Society arc. I don't think he liked that Szayelaporro essentially "played with his toy," but we also never really see him angry the way he was in his fight against Uryu again. Sure it's easy to explain that as him having been in an antagonist role back then whereas now he needs to be seen more sympathetic by the audience, but in-universe I like to think he learned from his fight with Uryu not to let his anger overwhelm him. Therefore, I think of that moment in his fight with Szayelaporro as the moment he made a different choice than he would have in the past -- instead of launching into an outburst, he chooses to channel his anger towards the fight. That's the moment when Mayuri decides he's gonna find a way to fuck up Szayel as badly and comprehensively as he indeed winds up doing with the drug that distorted his senses to slow everything down.
As a hollow its really dope for syazel to have an ability that allows him to control the creature that eats him and be reborn from him given that eating each other its the way they have to evolve. He basically has the "perfect" counter to ensure his hollow evolution
After the end of this arc there is a short story you should watch/Read called Ulquiorra Unmasked which goes a bit more deeper into his mindset, but it was never animated. Edit: im not sure where to read it though i know there are videos on it on TH-cam though.
No spoilers, Mayuri replacing his organs and tendons with dummies before he left is basically the reverse of Ichigo popping Kon’s pill into his human mouth to replace his soul when he’s out of his body to do soul reaper stuff. Soul Society made modified souls like Kon, as well as flesh puppet bodies for soul reapers to interact with humans in the world of the living like when Rukia lost her powers. It’s a cool callback and may or may not build to something. :3
You can tell a new arc has begun if Mayuri has a new look. And personally I consider this design his most iconic. It's the image I get whenever I hear him mentioned. Although that's probably due to starting Bleach around this time and my first exposure to him being this fight. And that is an amazing first impression to get you can imagine.
I watched bleach when I was really really young (I didn’t even understand what the hell was happening to nemu at the time) but that perfection speech stayed with me for a while. I actually completely forgot that it was from bleach before I watched this video.
Mayuri was so upset with Nemu before because he made her capable of fending off is poison on top of the poison being non-lethal. It was like she was saying he made a mistake. Here, she is suffering an injury Mayuri didn't foresee, and that makes it his fault in his mind. So no berating her in ths fight.
Im not sure if you know this already but remember to start watching anime when you get to the beginning of the tybw arc, because now anime is more canon than the manga since kubo is changeing stuff and manga lacked a lot of context
This first time reading videos have truly become my highlight of the week. And I’m so hyped for this next fight and your thoughts on it. But please don’t take this the wrong way, If there are ever delays with videos I will just happily wait however long it takes. Please take all the time you need to enjoy bleach on your own pace!
Really glad you are reading the managa and watching the anime, getting to see all the horror the anime won't show. This fight was so enjoyable and it's amazing how quickly it ends once Mayuri loses interest. I'm stoked to get to hear you react to Kenny next time. Can already picture some of the moments
You can actually tell who the bodies in the lab are if you look close enough. The one on the left is a bit harder to guess due to different clothes but the boots are unmistakable. The one on the right is very easy to guess because its just legs. Not that many characters are just legs.
One of the factors why szayelaporro lose this fight, mayuri analyze szayel through uryu and know some of his tricks, if its vice versa szayel might be had the advantage. Just how mayuri defeated by uryu because he dont know who uryu was (because he was too focused on to orihime), and he was too underestimated the young quincy and almost to be killed by uryu
I have some questions regarding the situation. For do hollows not lack a heart? So... Would he die from being stabbed in the chest? But I actually like the idea, that the blade never even got there. Like Mayuri stops. And break his sword. Before the death blow is truly dealt. Why not right? When do the drug stop working? In hours? At that point the guy would likely not have the drive to do anything.
13:30 You're going to wait a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG while for this reveal. In-universe, more than a year and a half would've passed.
ok the thing that PISSES ME OFF about this fight is idk what mayuri means... "ive replaced my organs with dummies so your dolls dont affect me" please elaborate... either he replaced his real organs with fake organs... but if the loss of those organs would damaging/fatal then he shouldve died right there... or they are FUNCTIONAL dummie organs... then having them destroyed by the voodoo dolls shouldve killed him...
Man, I don't know if you're reading a colored version of the manga. Bleach's colorized manga is really good, extremely well done, but, Kubo's art style shines it's brightest when black and white only, his unbelievably fantastic line work and shading are the best in shonen manga history, so I would advise you to at least check out the cool spreads and impactful moments on the B/W version going forward from this point, because there are some that will take your breath away.
Fun fact about Mayuri, Kubo has actually cosplayed him before- look it up, it’s a pretty good costume he put together
Mayuri really showed why he is the GOAT in this fight! His Perfection speech is one of the best moments in the series!
The Perfection Speech tends to be one of the fanbase's favorite scenes in general. As crazy and off-putting as the man is, Mayuri forces us to put respect on his name. He cannot be ignored, or looked down on.

Mayuri did the Infinite Void first lmao 😂
I think he was trying to do the superhuman serum but this is an intermediate step or failed version lol
@@qwirkt he does that a lot in his free time.
It's not that it's a failure, the point is to attain a realistic or I guess scientific version of those powers.
He even has Superman's laser eyes in the Hell arc lol.
And look at what he did to zombie Toshiro? he basically created a time loop ability for Toshiro but of course, the effects were more literal and detrimental to the user.
You questioning what Mayuri got from that chamber made me laugh after knowing what it entails.
3:00 Few have realized it, but Mayuri did with Uryu what Szayel did with his brother Gilfort; It's a great little detail that Kubo does to demonstrate the meticulous nature of the two that comes with being a man of science and that they are two sides of the same coin, only one works for Aizen. and another for the SS.

Bruh when I saw Mayuri finesse Szaylperro my jaw was on the floor , BUT THE NEXT FIGHT my hair literally almost fell out 😭😭

13:10 he was using his long nail to "reset" nemu from the inside...😬
Perfect time! I was about to have lunch
i just started smoking & seen the suggestion
Same here.
I also love Mayuri's little speech on perfection. Ah, I already can't wait to hear your thoughts on the rest of Mayuri's appearances in the series.
He's going to absolutely love seeing Mayuri be the real MVP of the final arc
Something I love about Mayuri and his fights is how it shows how sinister soul society can be when they have psychos like Kenny and Mayuri as CAPTAINS
I think it was Yugioh R that gave me a new perspective on what "perfection" is.

The way the Kenpachi vs Nnoitra fight ends is possibly my favorite thing in all of Bleach, so get hyped for that.
You notice that he goes a little soft to nemu. I also think that. He slightly change.
Yes. I think the reason he smiled like that was because he knew Szayel was drugged. Knowing the backstory of Nemu, does make me think Mayuri was pleased he got to kill Szayel the way he did, because of what he did to Nemu.

As much as characters aren't feuding with the Soul Society any more, they're still a morally compromised institution captained by genocidal sadists.
Mayuri seeks improvement, Szayel seeks perfection. To exist in a perfect state means no improvements can be made. That's what sets them apart to me.
This comment is New Mayuri and Arrancar/Espada Lore that is NOT a Spoiler for the story
Yeah about Mayuri...Kubo on his Klub Outside Q&A recently gave clarity on Mayuri's body paint. Basically Kubo said Mayuri has a device with preprogrammed patterns on it that he can choose at will and have it applied to his body.

Honestly I have a hard time believing that most of the espada take baths to begin with, like no way grimmjow or yammy ever taking a shower 😭
As vicious as he is,i think there is someone i ship him with. Also his VA is the same as Frieza....sooo......i think genocide runs in the family 😂😂😂
he did not replace his organs. I remember as, he made it to where he had 2 of every organ in his body. 2 sets of every organ. So when ziy destroyed even the heart mayuri would have a second heart
Everyone- *Hates Mayuri*
Mayuri- *Perfection Speech*
Everyone- *Instantly respects him*
Mayuri isn't just the best mad scientist, he's also the best Bleach cosplayer! He's literally THE GOAT!
Perfect time to watch in midnight.

That freak is my favorite character. I love the curious amoral characters. Bondrewd from Made in Abyss is another great example.
And Mayuri became way more lovable in the final arc by becoming the actual MVP while Ichigo effectively was sidelined.
And yeah, Mayuri is evil, but he's too useful to kill.
There is a reason he can kill his own men and get away with it. He is a real asset. He not only has the strength of a captain, supplimented by too many inventions to quantify, he is the singular scientific force in Soul Society advancing and maintaining all its technology.
This is definitely one of the most wild fights with how much it’s based on tricks and inventions.
But definitely the ending part is amazing and solidified Mayuri as a great character. The whole perfection speech is amazing
Ace Ventura in a bleach video got me good 🤣
It's not his hair. Mayuri constantly changes face paint and head decorations.
Aw, what? Man made it the same as his hair color. I’m just going to pretend it’s his hair then because it’s glorious
@@agamotto5354 to be fair that's probably the idea with that specific one.
Finally, this violation 😂
Always fun to wake up from drinking all night and seeing these vids.

It's 5:20 pm for me
@@Over-D-Goat11:30 am for me
Mayuri is seriously one of the most interesting characters ever put on paper, alongside Kenpachi.
Speaking of which...
Tite Kubo has stated in the past that Mayuri is his favorite character to write, and you can really see that showing in moments like this.
As a hollow its really dope for syazel to have an ability that allows him to control the creature that eats him and be reborn from him given that eating each other its the way they have to evolve. He basically has the "perfect" counter to ensure his hollow evolution

Mayuri and nemu's relationship does develop down the line
Love when a notification for your videos pops up
Mayuri was so upset with Nemu before because he made her capable of fending off is poison on top of the poison being non-lethal. It was like she was saying he made a mistake.
Here, she is suffering an injury Mayuri didn't foresee, and that makes it his fault in his mind. So no berating her in ths fight.
One of the best characters in Bleach
Szayellaporro death is in the level of Diavolo endless loop of death. And he deserved it.
Kinda reinforces the death loop being an extension of Giorno's life shot
under an hour gang

I'm Mad Scientisto!
Itz So COOL!
sonuvabich!
Rest in pieces, Szayelaporro. The most censored character in bleach.
6:00 Wait until you see Szayelaporro's Hollow Hole.
The perfection speacg is very impressive to listen to afer a long time from when you frist hear it trust me
Im not sure if you know this already but remember to start watching anime when you get to the beginning of the tybw arc, because now anime is more canon than the manga since kubo is changeing stuff and manga lacked a lot of context
I love how mayuri stabs szalya but never removes the blade...
Thats prolonged death 💀💀💀
Mayuri perfection speech is 1 of my favorite speeches in the series
Bro wake up, another agamoto video
This first time reading videos have truly become my highlight of the week. And I’m so hyped for this next fight and your thoughts on it. But please don’t take this the wrong way, If there are ever delays with videos I will just happily wait however long it takes. Please take all the time you need to enjoy bleach on your own pace!
Fun fact, Mayuri is Kubo's favorite character... And it shows with how every single one of his battles play out
Really glad you are reading the managa and watching the anime, getting to see all the horror the anime won't show. This fight was so enjoyable and it's amazing how quickly it ends once Mayuri loses interest. I'm stoked to get to hear you react to Kenny next time. Can already picture some of the moments
I can't state how much I love this first time reading series.
All I’m saying I never thought he would be killed off like this when I first saw him
You can actually tell who the bodies in the lab are if you look close enough. The one on the left is a bit harder to guess due to different clothes but the boots are unmistakable. The one on the right is very easy to guess because its just legs. Not that many characters are just legs.
I can’t wait for you to watch this fight in the anime, it’s hilarious
If you're really curious about who these test subjects are, you could try comparing their silhouettes to previously defeated arrancar
Great stuff!
I just remembered this part, now i think there's a bigger reason Mayuri monitored uryu
Earlyl gang!
If you love Mayuri so far in the story, Just wait till he reaches MVP status later. And remember that perfection speech, it comes up again much later.
love these man
One of the factors why szayelaporro lose this fight, mayuri analyze szayel through uryu and know some of his tricks, if its vice versa szayel might be had the advantage. Just how mayuri defeated by uryu because he dont know who uryu was (because he was too focused on to orihime), and he was too underestimated the young quincy and almost to be killed by uryu
Cant wait for Kenny
At this point Mayuri cemented himself as one of the series best characters. Both loved and hated
And to think, he hadn't even reached MVP status yet lol
Mayuri's the GOAT!
Did my favorite bleach TH-camr drop??
Nobody tell him where Szayelaporro's Hollow Hole was
YEAHH EARLY GANG REPRESENT
Good
Oh yeah, congratulations on reaching 16:9 bleach
finally!!!
0:30, ofc not, mayuri's more evil
YUUUUUUUUPIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII!!!
having read all of bleach i still not smart enpught to read mayuris emotions and understand how fells
I have some questions regarding the situation. For do hollows not lack a heart? So... Would he die from being stabbed in the chest? But I actually like the idea, that the blade never even got there. Like Mayuri stops. And break his sword. Before the death blow is truly dealt. Why not right? When do the drug stop working? In hours? At that point the guy would likely not have the drive to do anything.
13:30 You're going to wait a LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG while for this reveal.
In-universe, more than a year and a half would've passed.
Fun fact these two character is the favorite to kubo
ok the thing that PISSES ME OFF about this fight is idk what mayuri means... "ive replaced my organs with dummies so your dolls dont affect me" please elaborate... either he replaced his real organs with fake organs... but if the loss of those organs would damaging/fatal then he shouldve died right there... or they are FUNCTIONAL dummie organs... then having them destroyed by the voodoo dolls shouldve killed him...
How have you managed to avoid all of the BIGGER Bleach spoilers?
Man, I don't know if you're reading a colored version of the manga. Bleach's colorized manga is really good, extremely well done, but, Kubo's art style shines it's brightest when black and white only, his unbelievably fantastic line work and shading are the best in shonen manga history, so I would advise you to at least check out the cool spreads and impactful moments on the B/W version going forward from this point, because there are some that will take your breath away.
Sci. vs Sci.
Don't get attach to his looks... trust me.
