I genuinely cannot fathom where season 4 could go from here. Most of the enemies are gone now, only 2 elite guards left and Yhwach himself -- is that really enough to make a whole season? I feel like Kubo is cooking something more than any of us can imagine!
Easily. You would get the Fullbringers helping against Gerald, exclusive content with Ryuken and Isshin, probably even seeing Isshin's Bankai since mention of it was removed in Cour 1, definitely get some explanation on the arrowhead, most likely Ryuken explaining it to Isshin as they approach the battlefield, plus fight expansions like Urahara, Yoruichi, snd Grimmjow vs. Askin, etc.
It comes pretty close. Both the Royal Guard battles need to be extended, which I could see being 2-3 episodes each, especially if we get Urahara and Yoruichi backstory. And then we should get the conclusion to “Deadman Standing”, which could be half an episode. And then Haschwalth’s fight needs an episode. And then one episode for an extended epilogue. So if we get 14 episodes like this season, that leaves 6 episodes for an extended final battle, with plenty of time for plot lines and lore like the Soul King, Ichigo’s fate, Uryu and Soken Ishida, and more involvement for Isshin and Ryuken.
@FlavioSantos-uw1mr we still don't know how or if the series will ever continue. Literally. Bleach ended in 2016 and now it's Anime adaptation it's ending in 2025. That's what I clearly meant.
@@olucasb93 I understood what you were trying to say, I just said that it wasn't like Bleach didn't have more content beyond that that can be used/continued in the future.
Definitely isn't that. There is still Gerard, Askin and Haschwalt left. I think Yhwach's fights will be mostly reworked/expanded as per usual. We will definitely get more anime-only scenes and fights, but the entire season definitely won't be anime only.
all I hear is GOOD NEWS MORE BLEACH GOOD NEWS MORE BLEACH GOOD NEWS MORE BLEACH GOOD NEWS MORE BLEACH and I love it. I waited for Bleach over a decade and it was worth it.
If you ask me, I think 3 new things are gonna be added in part 4. 1) urahara and yoruichi’s backstory (in club outside Kubo claimed he wanted to include it in the askin fight but scrapped it for time) 2) the captains kill Gerard (Kubo revealed how to kill Gerard in club outside) 3) Ryuken and Ishin actually fight. (Please god let them fight with their kids in the final arc. Imagine Uryu and Ryuken vs Jugram and Ichigo and Ishin vs Ywach).
They would also need to include an side plot with Harribel getting saved (maybe by Nel and Grimmjow) and then expand a bit on the aftermath before the timeskip. Then it pretty much finish up a lot of the loose ends the manga didn't get to showcase.
Cour 4 will be the most anime only season. Part of me feels like Kubo may have had a change of heart since 2016 and wants to end the series in a different way. The conclusion may be the same but not considering CFYOW and WDNALY
All that matters is that we have so much new content to look forward to! I can't wait to see how the last cour is gonna play out, Gerards fight, uryu and haschwalth and obviously ichigo/aizen with yhwach. Everything is gonna be so good.
I doubt anything will change. Kubo had the ending in mind for a long time. And all the “bones” of the ending are great, it just needs fleshing out…and maybe more bones. But the epilogue especially is the perfect ending to Bleach.
@@joshuabarnard5702 yeah I feel the only thing Kubo really wants to do is flesh out stuff that he didint get to before due to being rushed, like making Uryu and Renji more important since they were definitely supposed to have more of an impact on the reader originally since this was Uryu’s arc, just as the first two arcs were Rukia’s, Orihime’s was the Arrancar saga, and Chad’s was the Fullbring arc, and Renji only really fought Bazz b briefly, killed mask, and beat base Gerard before he powered up, so giving them a fight to do more and maybe even killing off Renji. Also I don’t feel kubo would do anything to definitively make CFYOW non canon
And please make a reason why he did not use it in the fake Karakura town arc. Something like after the Bandai ends it releases everyone from Kyoka Sugetsu and he has to hypnotize everyone all over again.
Great video ! One point i want to add that Takashi hashimoto was talking about two different eps. The comment about him being the action ad and crying after completing the work was for nanao ep ( he did every movement of lille form) And the second one was for the finale ep i think
I feel like a round 2 would actually makes sense given the opening and the antithesis being revealed and thus clarifying to everyone how Senjumaru was actually taken (given how unbelievable it seemed at the beginning) sending our heroes back to square one…and giving us a taste of Ichigo’s and Orihime’s real powers🔥
@ but cutting off immediately to the timeskip is what ruined the ending. every single manga reader agreed that we should at least seen the aftermath of the battle. everyone walking through the rubbles. aizen turning himself in. shunsui talking with ichibei watching yhwach's remain being turned into the next soul king. everyone rebuilding the soul society, etc.
@ well Memories of Nobody is also non canon but now it has become canon due to anime changing things up. so cfyow is not that impossible to be turned canon
I think the prologue to CFYOW with Ichibe and Shunsui’s talk will make it. Fills in some plot holes like Ichibe was going to make Ichigo the soul king and seal him up, why Shunsui gave ichigo’s friends the soul tickets, and what they did w/ Ywach’s corpse after the battle.
I can't wait. Something tells me we may get a montage of various clashes that segways into Ichigo and Yhwach's final duel but again who knows. Extra content is among the top anticipations here, can imagine what they'll do to complete Kubo's vision from the original manga ending.
I have a strong feeling they wanna stick ichigo and yhwachs fight along with the final fight with aizen as well, they probably want to build up some lore between ichigo and yhwach as well and perhaps how ichigo has the power to alter fate. It's gonna be so insane but worth the wait.
I’d love Rukia to get another fight even if its small as well as extending the Gerard fight and maybe changing the ending of it, but that’d all be in cour 4. Really excited for these last 3 episodes
I want these battles become real: Ryuken and Uryu vs Jugram Isshin and Ichigo vs Yhwach Soifon and Yoruichi vs Askin Chad vs Uryu Ichigo and Uryu vs Yhwach 5 Special War Threats vs Yhwach Yhwach revives all dead Sternritters and giving them fight again
I'm hyped for what's hopefully Aizens Bankai. I'm also really hyped for that part, all the special war threats vs Yhwach, and Ryuken and Isshin teaming up and actually fighting. Imagine the traction and hype they'd get. Cour 4 boutta be INSANE.
I hope they will incorporate the introduction of the Still Silver Arrow and creative usage of Antithesis joining the forces with Special War Threats to take down Yhwach. Also curious of Ishida Uryu after the TYBW
Definitely agree on your predictions. Ever since the Cour 3 trailer and the opening being “Without any words”, I’ve had a feeling this cour would end with My Last Words. And Ichigo vs Uryu would be the perfect climax. Also makes sense to resolve the Uryu plot thread at the end of Cour 3 instead of the beginning of Cour 4.
Pour one out for the homies that didn't make it to see how great "Bleach" anime ended up being! Cour 4 is going to be incredible, and we still have "Hell Arc" at some point! I'd also like to see the novels get an anime adaptation as well!
Cour 4 is going to look amazing, cour 3 was made during the making of a new studio. Not only they were writing stuff and doing logistics for cour 4 during the creation of cour 3. With all that stuff out the way if they are willing to take the same amount of time to release it'll look stunning.
Things i'm looking forward in anime only cour 4.. *Ichigo's True Bankai fight *Aizen's bankai *Ryuken and Isshin's more screen time *Byakuya's new fight scene *Visored new Fight scene
I think if we end Cour 3 with an Ichigo vs. Uryu rematch, the big cliffhanger should be either Uryu revealing that he's a traitor to Jugram, but with Ichigo coming to the realization during the fight with his ability to connect with people through battle, making a break with Uryu during the fight at a point where they are in front of Jugram, with Uryu initiating the fight against Jugram as Ichigo continues towards Juha, and Jugran's realization or Uryu explaining what exactly he was aiming for as the closing scene, maybe even having the reveal play through the credits. That's just me. I'll even take that scene of Ichigo being brought to the ground by Askin's death dealing if we get that ending. But that's just me.
@gregllo424 no, I want Ichigo helping Uryu reveal that he's actually still a good guy at the end of the Cour, I'll take Askin making an Ichigo pancake to get it.
ok we have been feasting on this hyper-level of anime and we are supposed to LOOK FORWARD TO THE END OF COUR ok big words have been spoken, but somehow, after all I witnessed in new Bleach anime - I am willing to believe.
same, I mean if we look at the staff list recently then Dali Chen (chief episode director) has only done 1 episode this cour so far while he did more stuff in cour 2, the same with Wakabayashi where he has only storyboarded 1 episode this cour so far (episode 33), but in cour 2 he storyboarded episode 18 and 23 and was the action animation director on episode 18 (the sakuga Mask fight sequence). So they have probably taken their time with the latter stuff of the cour just like with cour 2 when we got the full fight sequence.
LMAO, if they hyping it up then It's OK for us to get excited and if it is a let-down then it is, but I am quite fired up because OG Bleach fan, but it so far has been awesome and visually stunning. Nanao fight against Lille was art and such a core glimpse into the primordial times.
There seems to be some thematic conversation in the anime about what Bankai really is. And more characters are getting their relationships with Zanpaktou fleshed out. It would be so sick if Aizen went Bankai as part of this narrative. Imagine seeing Aizen's counterpart Zanpaktou in a character form.
I hope this time Shunsui & Nanao actually will be able to rejoin the future battle like they implied they will do after they have destroyed Lille barro's halo
Man I am so hyped for the next 2 weeks. Christmas is bringing the gifts. Friend next week a crazy 2 episode finale the week after that. And Jump Festa is coming up as well. I think Ichigo vs Uyruu 2 is very possible. And then it will end with it being revealed that Jugram has the Almigthy and all the other fights being setup with Askin and Gerard.
I’m not sure how silly this question may be but do animators animate during the season coming out as in the episode the animator cried after finishing was finished around a week and a half ago ?
Pretty sure the cliffhanger will be Uryu using the antithesis, swapping in everyone he stroke or simply teaming up with Ichigo, revealing he's still a good guy.
No need for an Aizen Bankai I feel like it contributes to his character and the mystery surrounding his true max power. But Ichigo's bankai is another matter though we were shown it then teased and never shown again. Imagine Ichibei, as soon as Ichigo loses to Askin badly comes in and (steals everyone's blacks gain some power or whtv, could even revive the rest of Squad 0 and we could see other Squad 0 members Bankai maybe as well) kidnaps Ichigo, goes to a hidden realm/sacred place or whtv and puts Ichigo up as the Soul King 😂. Don't know who's gonna rescue him - Chad (oh yea), Aizen, Uryu, Ichigo's Dad 🤣, Hitsugaya, the fullbringers or whoever else but an extended final fight would also be good although I hope its not just Yhwach breaking Ichigo's swords over and over. What if Chad goes resurrecion ?!! Omg it would be crazy loool
Is it possible that Aizen's bankai is an assist type which is why he never used it cause he always fought alone until he teamed with Ichigo? If that's the case then we might get bankai
Do you think the release date will be early 2025 or late 2025 I wouldn't be surprised if it's another October release date but I'm just wondering if they are already producing the final season now
cour 4 has already been in production since early december this month, so we can probably expect cour 4 around october next year to keep the 1 year production cycle.
*forgot about what happens after the friend CH* but still ill keep this up* Ichi v uyru is a perfect way to show us Horn of salvation...and then the Bankai can be the reveal during the ywhbach fight. HERE IS WHY My agenda is having more HOS..and still have the introduction of it matter .and so if its a ichi vs uyru....i think this a perfect way to use this transformation and it still be as important. The reason is because orihime can still fight WITH ichigo...and because ichigo can still awaken/imbalance with quincy reiatsu. Orihime can still feel like ichigo is juat rushing in to quick ...so we can still have that feeling..then instead of HOS its the Bankai...and we can still have ywhbach playing with him...then gren rey getsuga can still work....then ywhbach takes notice that ichigo ia about to use quincy techniques and not just hollow THENN the breaking of tensa zangetsu. ...idk its a pipe dream..but works
I highly doubt this lol. Would ruin the orihime moment with Ichigo. And the last thing orihime would wanting to be doing is fighting against Uryu. I doubt this fight even gonna happen. But if it does, id be kinda mad is he uses HOS for Uryus ass 😂
I don't think a full blown round 2 Uryu vs Ichigo ever happened after the friend arc will fully make sense since basically By the time Ichigo meets Uryu to confront him, Jugram basically interrupts them and basically Jugram at this time had the almighty eyes. Basically forced to let Ichigo and the gang escape and Uryu ends up fighting haschwalt. Basically if they flesh out tthe scuffle Uryu and Ichigo had in this part of the story, then it their second fight will probably end up not being conclusive since the cliff hanger might end up the reval of Jugram confronting Uryu
@gregllo424 i know the HOS meant ALOT..but it would be to capture uryu not kill him. think orihime would help with that. But forgot what happens after friends CH
@@hollowify_tensa_zangetsu What happens after friends arc, is Ywach goes to sleep, Jugram recieves the almighty and finds out where Uryu is at. Ichigo and the gang Confronts Uryu. Jugram interupts the conversation and reveal his almighty. Uryu tries to play coy so he blast Ichigo in the gang away from Jugram .then he explains his plan with the gang and why he can't do his plan with the others, then gave them a his sunkey and told them to escape via the gate of the sun to escape wandereich once Uryu is able to accomplish his plan. Jugram then finally had proof Uryu is a traitor so he fights Uryu before Uryu completes settinng up his suicide bombing of the entire warwelht.
The last 2 episodes will be ywatch vs ichigo again because they have yet to sell us on his foresight abilities. Maybe starts of with ichigo vs uryu and ywatch swoops in and it becomes ywatch vs ichigo but instead of the manga ending we know. Ywatch succeeds in ending ichigo. The part two episode is sorta the same but little key difference in the episode and ending with uryu end, using his Quincy power to swap places with ichigo, this way we have 3 or 4 episode dedicated to ywatch foresight abilities and all the “ends” ywatch has seen
you forgot Kubo's comment on Yoruichi's and Aswalt's Voice acting on kluboutside, which has people beliving the ending will be their fight/cour 3 will have their fight.
I think we would only get the confrontation with Askin vs Yoruichi and not the full fight since that will take atleast 2 episode or more if they add original content like a flashback or something. These 3 episodes left are only going to pick up the chapters we have jumped over and smooth stuff out with original anime content if I have to guess.
Another big Uryu fight would be mildly disappointing. Unless it fleshes out the Antithesis. 😅 What I wanted the most is more background information to 1000 years ago and the soul king. Based on the opening song, it would be cool if we get the beginning of Ichigo vs Ywach ending with gee re an Rey cero.
I feel like if we are going ichigo vs uryu route maybe they end it on uryu telling ichigo about hus plan. That would be great since jugram was already keeping an eye on him & in manga next fight these guys are involved in is against yhwach & jugram
These guys are the Kendrick Lamar of the anime world they keep releasing banger after banger in rapid fire. Like this is better than Dandandan at this point its such a banger season.
The leaks imply there is 14 episodes this cour and it doesn't seem to be a recap, so on 28th we get a double episode just like with cour 2 to make up for the recap of episode 27.
While I would appreciate another ichigo fight, the implications it would have on the rematch with Yhwach seems to be conflicting (without spoilers). I dont know what else he could show or prove between now and then without uprooting how that fight goes in the manga.
We might have the ending of Cour 3 with a more fleshed out battle between BazzB and Haschwalth maybe we might get new Vollstandig design for BazzB and Haschwalth will finally debut his
So are you saying there’s POTENTIAL for CFYOW and SAWFY to be animated? I mean it’s been discussed and or rumoured by us that we will most definitely get it as spin offs or a movie who knows. But well after Kubo does Hell Arc manga etc. which in that to, shall be animated years later. But I can’t help but speculate and wonder what you mean by, it won’t go unrewarded what Bleach Has brought Studio Pierrot. I’m assuming they’ll definitely flush out the BLEACH Universe meaning. Burn The Witch, Hell Arc whenever the manage is fully complete, the Can’t Fear Your Own World and Hopefully the Spirits Are Forever With You bleach novels. I mean speculation but 🤷
@@flameofrebirth101 fair enough, I feel like it would be good to see Tokinada and Azashiro. I mean even as a movie would be nice. Maybe as something for us Bleach fans to have inbetween the TYBW ending and whilst we wait for the Hell Arc to start up etc. I’m not saying straight after TYBW. Just as a spin off as it is events after TYBW could expand on some other characters too, Shuhei for example. They can’t fit a lot of content, “big content”, into cour 4. Meaning Shinji’s bankai reveal that was huge. Well for me especially since he’s one of my favourite characters but is unfortunately fodder😂😅. If they do some how include the other things then I won’t even ask for the novels to be adapted. If they don’t it leaves the door open to expand on other things!
All I can say is, I really hope Bazz B vs Jugram is great, because most of the manga fights have been more or less 1 to 1 with the bare minimum treatment, and were insane letdowns imo. I love the Ichigo vs Uryu & Renji vs Uryu episodes, but I hope they can give these upcoming fights a ton of love so we won’t just have those 2 eps. As far as the last episode, Whatever it is, Ichigo vs Uryu round 2 or Yoruichi vs Askin, I hope those pop off and this isn’t all just words we have heard before only for them to not be true. Anyways, great video.
Cour 4 will be insane. Btw you had a small mistake. C1 did not have a recap episode. C2 only had a recap becasue of the episode 26 situation, it being cut from a hour long ep to a standard ep.
C1 had a recap at the start of... episode 3 or 4 (can't remember the exact episode actually, but it was there). But the recap was only like 3ish minutes long.
@@paledrake we were talking about a whole episode recapp, not a few min in one episode. Those are totally different, but both recaps accrued due to production issues. C2 was a mess, and ep 3 and 4 in c1 had production issues as well. It was ep 4 that had a couple of min recap.
@@flameofrebirth101 The original plan was to have 13 episodes on each cour, there is no hell they could have fit the latter part of episode 27 in to 26. It seems the production issue was more on the planning since they would have needed to implement more chapters for these stuff to fit which would have been crammed.
The sternritters NEED to be ressurected. Maybe not all of them, but a good amt. The sternritters need more character development, and also more characters in bleach need more fights(isshin, ryuken, CHAD(seriously), ginjo, the vizards, grimmjow and nel. It would be a great thing to give them more prevalence. Plus its not an asspull as ywach ressurected the royal guard about two times already lol. Im sure he has it in him to ressurect the whole group if hes that much more powerful
Yes that would be awesome. Also, ywhach has the souls of all the dead sternwritters, so it's possible for him to resurrect them considering he has the soul king powers
@@prashanthravi8470 indeed! What would be even better if that if they use the gate of the sun mechanic more, so that they can travel around the seritei easier. So that way you would have a few sternritter in warhwelt, a few in the soul society, maybe some in the world of the living. THAT would be epic, maybe give them an epic touchdown on the field like saiyan saga vibes. It would make the war feel grander and go to different sceneries as well
I really really really hope you're wrong, I don't want to see them fight again because it would end with Ichigo taking a 3rd L in such a short timeframe. (1.Uryuu, 2.askin, and the. 3 Uryuu again. Ichigo no matter what is gonna hold back and that is the last thing I want to see right now. We all know it's going to be Chad vs Gerard 😏
Bazz B Vs Jugram is confirmed to be in the next two episodes, this will also include a flashback of their childhood and how YHWACH recruited them There will also be a scene where Kira regains his power and fights The episodes will end right at the start of 2 major fights, Askin vs Yoruichi + Urahara + Grimmjow and Gerard Vs Zaraki + Toshiro + Byakyua Also why would ichigo fights uryu again? The jig is already up. Quincys know he is a traitor now. Also 3 fights in 13 episodes for a one guy? Yeah, thx god it's not happening.
The jig is up? The quincies don't know that he is a traitor yet, Jugram is the only one who is actively suspicious but he basically has no solid proof to treat him as a traitor. In the manga after the friend arc and Bazz B fight, when Ichigo gets to meet with Uryu again, that is where Uryu finally revealed his plans with Ichigo, and Jugram basically heard Uryu admit that he is a traitor that is how the Uryu and Jugram fight begin. So no the quincies have not yet realize Uryu is definitely a traitor This is also where the theory of Uryu vs Ichigo round 2 since people know they will end up meeting after the Bazz B and Jugram, story. The only reason why I can't think they will actaully commit to fullblown Uryu vs Ichigo round 2, is that Uryu needs to be in perfect shape to fight Jugram after that and I feel like if ever a Ichigo vs Uryu round 2 happens here, Ichigo needs to win since that is logical snese why Uryu ends up admitting his plan to Ichigo
@@theelite.esmithftw2825 i made a nearly 4 hour video about it Japanese media often reflects the country's cultural struggles with authority, nationalism, and historical accountability. When comparing series like Bleach and Naruto, the differences in how they handle these themes become glaring. Why Bleach Stands Out: Bleach repeatedly questions authority and exposes systemic flaws: Ichigo and his friends rebel against the Soul Society to save Rukia, defying unjust traditions. Aizen’s rebellion critiques the stagnation and hypocrisy of the Soul Society's leadership. Tosen highlights the lack of accountability when his friend’s murderer goes unpunished. Ginjo, the first Substitute Soul Reaper, rebels after his Fullbringer friends are killed by Soul Society, showing how they use and discard people. In the Hell Verse movie, Kubo’s original script explored moral gray areas-like a man being sent to Hell for avenging his sister-which clashed with the cultural preference for black-and-white morality. Tokinada, a corrupt noble, commits atrocities yet faces no punishment, exposing how power protects the guilty. These themes challenge traditional Japanese values, where authority and conformity are often unquestioned. This might explain why Bleach faced resistance, especially in a culture that avoids addressing uncomfortable truths. Why Naruto Reinforces Conformity: In contrast, Naruto glorifies blind loyalty and avoids critiquing authority: The Uchiha Massacre is framed as a "necessary evil," with Itachi portrayed as a tragic hero for following orders. The system behind the massacre is never truly questioned. Naruto idolizes the Hokage and the village system, ignoring its flaws, while Sasuke-who questions it-is vilified. Other villages, like the Lightning and Mist, are demonized to make Konoha appear more righteous, reinforcing an "us vs. them" narrative. By the end, the series rushes to a "we can all get along" conclusion, glossing over the historical grudges and systemic issues that caused conflict. The Role of Nationalism in Japanese Media: This contrast ties into Japan’s broader cultural context: Movies like Grave of the Fireflies and Barefoot Gen portray Japan as a victim of WWII while avoiding its role as an aggressor. Textbooks downplay atrocities like the Nanjing Massacre and comfort women, while shrines like Yasukuni glorify war criminals as heroes. Series like Code Geass and Hetalia vilify Western powers while sidestepping Japan's own historical wrongdoings. Even filler episodes like the one in Gantz blame Western powers (e.g., “Americans killing people in the Middle East”) without acknowledging Japan's imperialist past. Examples of Media Challenging This Narrative: Some works dare to challenge these norms but face backlash: Bleach critiques authority and exposes corruption within the Soul Society. Japan Sinks (Netflix adaptation) highlights racism and xenophobia, showing how half-Japanese people are mistreated. Its critique of ultra-nationalism led to backlash in Japan. Attack on Titan, while not explicitly nationalistic, explores systemic oppression but stops short of critiquing Japan-like systems. The Divide in Japanese Media: Works like Bleach and Japan Sinks challenge authority and national myths, often receiving pushback from audiences uncomfortable with these themes. Meanwhile, series like Naruto, Code Geass, and Gantz often reinforce blind loyalty, nationalism, and a victim narrative, avoiding self-reflection. This selective storytelling creates a consistent pattern: rebellion and questioning authority (as seen in Bleach) are rare in Japanese media, making such works stand out for their boldness. However, they often face resistance in a society where conformity and authority are deeply ingrained.

Not sure if we can expect much cause Last Episodes are always the hardest on the production and they are likely to be produced in a crunch, but if they had good planning, then maybe it's possible, just don't overhype yourself
So this might mean Kubo is sort of rewriting Bleach to not help things flow better but to potentially tie things together towards the end and expand things for bleach in the future.
more like October 2025, if cour 4 is going to have the same standard or higher than cour 3 (which it should) then it will take atleast 1 year from the moment they start working on cour 4.
I genuinely cannot fathom where season 4 could go from here. Most of the enemies are gone now, only 2 elite guards left and Yhwach himself -- is that really enough to make a whole season? I feel like Kubo is cooking something more than any of us can imagine!
I was thinking the same thing
Easily. You would get the Fullbringers helping against Gerald, exclusive content with Ryuken and Isshin, probably even seeing Isshin's Bankai since mention of it was removed in Cour 1, definitely get some explanation on the arrowhead, most likely Ryuken explaining it to Isshin as they approach the battlefield, plus fight expansions like Urahara, Yoruichi, snd Grimmjow vs. Askin, etc.
It comes pretty close. Both the Royal Guard battles need to be extended, which I could see being 2-3 episodes each, especially if we get Urahara and Yoruichi backstory. And then we should get the conclusion to “Deadman Standing”, which could be half an episode. And then Haschwalth’s fight needs an episode. And then one episode for an extended epilogue. So if we get 14 episodes like this season, that leaves 6 episodes for an extended final battle, with plenty of time for plot lines and lore like the Soul King, Ichigo’s fate, Uryu and Soken Ishida, and more involvement for Isshin and Ryuken.
@@Joshua_Shadow_Manriguez imagine we get more info on ichigo's bankai

1) urahara and yoruichi’s backstory (in club outside Kubo claimed he wanted to include it in the askin fight but scrapped it for time)
2) the captains kill Gerard (Kubo revealed how to kill Gerard in club outside)
3) Ryuken and Ishin actually fight. (Please god let them fight with their kids in the final arc. Imagine Uryu and Ryuken vs
Jugram and Ichigo and Ishin vs Ywach).
I prefer the introduction of the 5 war potential then ends with fighting yhwach
@@jadefrenance6373that can be included too because cour 4 has only few contents left
They would also need to include an side plot with Harribel getting saved (maybe by Nel and Grimmjow) and then expand a bit on the aftermath before the timeskip. Then it pretty much finish up a lot of the loose ends the manga didn't get to showcase.
Ichibei already fought him. So I prefer urahara and kenpachi joining the fight @@jadefrenance6373
Ryuken is a good guy
Cour 4 will be the most anime only season. Part of me feels like Kubo may have had a change of heart since 2016 and wants to end the series in a different way. The conclusion may be the same but not considering CFYOW and WDNALY
All that matters is that we have so much new content to look forward to!
I can't wait to see how the last cour is gonna play out, Gerards fight, uryu and haschwalth and obviously ichigo/aizen with yhwach.
Everything is gonna be so good.
I'm so excited for Bleach-hope fills my heart. 🦥
🗣 AizEEEEEEEEEEEN!!!!!!
I doubt anything will change. Kubo had the ending in mind for a long time. And all the “bones” of the ending are great, it just needs fleshing out…and maybe more bones. But the epilogue especially is the perfect ending to Bleach.
He already spoke about that lol
@@joshuabarnard5702 yeah I feel the only thing Kubo really wants to do is flesh out stuff that he didint get to before due to being rushed, like making Uryu and Renji more important since they were definitely supposed to have more of an impact on the reader originally since this was Uryu’s arc, just as the first two arcs were Rukia’s, Orihime’s was the Arrancar saga, and Chad’s was the Fullbring arc, and Renji only really fought Bazz b briefly, killed mask, and beat base Gerard before he powered up, so giving them a fight to do more and maybe even killing off Renji. Also I don’t feel kubo would do anything to definitively make CFYOW non canon
I swear to god if we actually get Aizen's Bankai in the final cour.
Dude Its happening, I can't believe it, Im bursting with excitement. I can feel it, its coming. The premonition of a great battle.
And please make a reason why he did not use it in the fake Karakura town arc. Something like after the Bandai ends it releases everyone from Kyoka Sugetsu and he has to hypnotize everyone all over again.
@@kylekrupa9476 yeah if it makes logic sense.
Can't wait for Yhwach to body Aizens bankai and Ichigo at the same time.
Aizen is a asauchi that was turned into a konpaku by the hogioku. He is a bankai.
I thought everyone knew
Great video ! One point i want to add that Takashi hashimoto was talking about two different eps. The comment about him being the action ad and crying after completing the work was for nanao ep ( he did every movement of lille form) And the second one was for the finale ep i think
I feel like a round 2 would actually makes sense given the opening and the antithesis being revealed and thus clarifying to everyone how Senjumaru was actually taken (given how unbelievable it seemed at the beginning) sending our heroes back to square one…and giving us a taste of Ichigo’s and Orihime’s real powers🔥
I'm kinda happy bleach waited this long to be animated. The quality has been amazing.
On another note: are we going to get feral yoruichi 👀
meanwhile me i don't ask for much, just
1) an earlier still silver arrow foreshadowing
2) the aftermath of the battle + minor cfyow scenes
Cfyow shoukd be a seperate movie or season
@ but cutting off immediately to the timeskip is what ruined the ending. every single manga reader agreed that we should at least seen the aftermath of the battle. everyone walking through the rubbles. aizen turning himself in. shunsui talking with ichibei watching yhwach's remain being turned into the next soul king. everyone rebuilding the soul society, etc.
cfyow is non canon
@ well Memories of Nobody is also non canon but now it has become canon due to anime changing things up. so cfyow is not that impossible to be turned canon
I think the prologue to CFYOW with Ichibe and Shunsui’s talk will make it. Fills in some plot holes like Ichibe was going to make Ichigo the soul king and seal him up, why Shunsui gave ichigo’s friends the soul tickets, and what they did w/ Ywach’s corpse after the battle.
Being a bleach fan for 10+ years never felt this great.
I can't wait. Something tells me we may get a montage of various clashes that segways into Ichigo and Yhwach's final duel but again who knows. Extra content is among the top anticipations here, can imagine what they'll do to complete Kubo's vision from the original manga ending.
I have a strong feeling they wanna stick ichigo and yhwachs fight along with the final fight with aizen as well, they probably want to build up some lore between ichigo and yhwach as well and perhaps how ichigo has the power to alter fate.
It's gonna be so insane but worth the wait.
I’d love Rukia to get another fight even if its small as well as extending the Gerard fight and maybe changing the ending of it, but that’d all be in cour 4. Really excited for these last 3 episodes
coomer
I want these battles become real:
Ryuken and Uryu vs Jugram
Isshin and Ichigo vs Yhwach
Soifon and Yoruichi vs Askin
Chad vs Uryu
Ichigo and Uryu vs Yhwach
5 Special War Threats vs Yhwach
Yhwach revives all dead Sternritters and giving them fight again
I want the combined effort of all vizard to kill Gerad instead of Auswählen
I'm hyped for what's hopefully Aizens Bankai. I'm also really hyped for that part, all the special war threats vs Yhwach, and Ryuken and Isshin teaming up and actually fighting. Imagine the traction and hype they'd get. Cour 4 boutta be INSANE.
chad will shine in hell arc not in this one lmao
@@sumiokodai1652 even that's debatable 💀
Id love to see a love bankai and a lisa one@doom9128
Bleach is truly the anime of all time
It is truly an anime of all time
I hope they will incorporate the introduction of the Still Silver Arrow and creative usage of Antithesis joining the forces with Special War Threats to take down Yhwach. Also curious of Ishida Uryu after the TYBW
I would like the arrow that crippled Yhwach to be teased even more at the final episode of cour 3 .
Definitely agree on your predictions. Ever since the Cour 3 trailer and the opening being “Without any words”, I’ve had a feeling this cour would end with My Last Words. And Ichigo vs Uryu would be the perfect climax. Also makes sense to resolve the Uryu plot thread at the end of Cour 3 instead of the beginning of Cour 4.
Pour one out for the homies that didn't make it to see how great "Bleach" anime ended up being! Cour 4 is going to be incredible, and we still have "Hell Arc" at some point! I'd also like to see the novels get an anime adaptation as well!
I would Personally love cour 3 ending with the resurrection of the ALMIGHTY-ED sternritter but we will have to see
Cour 4 is going to look amazing, cour 3 was made during the making of a new studio. Not only they were writing stuff and doing logistics for cour 4 during the creation of cour 3. With all that stuff out the way if they are willing to take the same amount of time to release it'll look stunning.
Things i'm looking forward in anime only cour 4..
*Ichigo's True Bankai fight
*Aizen's bankai
*Ryuken and Isshin's more screen time
*Byakuya's new fight scene
*Visored new Fight scene
Isshin and ichigo vs yhwach
Ryuken and uryu vs haschwalth
PLEASE!
Last episode of Cour 4 is introduction of HELL VERSE that is for sure.
I hope but it's best not to talk about it 😅
I wouldn’t hold my breath🫠
I think if we end Cour 3 with an Ichigo vs. Uryu rematch, the big cliffhanger should be either Uryu revealing that he's a traitor to Jugram, but with Ichigo coming to the realization during the fight with his ability to connect with people through battle, making a break with Uryu during the fight at a point where they are in front of Jugram, with Uryu initiating the fight against Jugram as Ichigo continues towards Juha, and Jugran's realization or Uryu explaining what exactly he was aiming for as the closing scene, maybe even having the reveal play through the credits. That's just me. I'll even take that scene of Ichigo being brought to the ground by Askin's death dealing if we get that ending.
But that's just me.
yeah there is no time for that. Friends saga is almost 2 episodes. Then there has to be time for Kira and set up the 2 next big fights
PLZZZZ no aksin putting ichgio on the ground for the end of a cour 😭🙏🏾
@gregllo424 no, I want Ichigo helping Uryu reveal that he's actually still a good guy at the end of the Cour, I'll take Askin making an Ichigo pancake to get it.
@@DuBstep115 Kira could happen in cour 4, it takes time for those feathers to reach down so there is no hurry.
@@DuBstep115 I mean, it could literally at the absolute least be the second half of the final episode of Cour 3.
ok we have been feasting on this hyper-level of anime and we are supposed to LOOK FORWARD TO THE END OF COUR
ok big words have been spoken, but somehow, after all I witnessed in new Bleach anime - I am willing to believe.
same, I mean if we look at the staff list recently then Dali Chen (chief episode director) has only done 1 episode this cour so far while he did more stuff in cour 2, the same with Wakabayashi where he has only storyboarded 1 episode this cour so far (episode 33), but in cour 2 he storyboarded episode 18 and 23 and was the action animation director on episode 18 (the sakuga Mask fight sequence). So they have probably taken their time with the latter stuff of the cour just like with cour 2 when we got the full fight sequence.
@@WieldMyWord wakabayashi episode 34 not 33
LMAO, if they hyping it up then It's OK for us to get excited and if it is a let-down then it is, but I am quite fired up because OG Bleach fan, but it so far has been awesome and visually stunning. Nanao fight against Lille was art and such a core glimpse into the primordial times.
It’s great isn’t it?
There seems to be some thematic conversation in the anime about what Bankai really is. And more characters are getting their relationships with Zanpaktou fleshed out. It would be so sick if Aizen went Bankai as part of this narrative. Imagine seeing Aizen's counterpart Zanpaktou in a character form.
I hope we get to see ukitake fight , really want to see him using his bankai and his other power skills.
Can’t wait to see how crazy they go for ……. & …… team up fight vs …….
Wow this is breaking news! Thanks Rebirth!! I love your videos. Your ideas are always so insightful! Love you!
I hope this time Shunsui & Nanao actually will be able to rejoin the future battle like they implied they will do after they have destroyed Lille barro's halo
I used to pray for days like these.
They gotta pit the 5 war potential against yhwach in the final battle. I hope its not just ichigo and aizen.
I would say adding Isshin would be better but it's not happening 😢
Man I am so hyped for the next 2 weeks. Christmas is bringing the gifts. Friend next week a crazy 2 episode finale the week after that. And Jump Festa is coming up as well. I think Ichigo vs Uyruu 2 is very possible. And then it will end with it being revealed that Jugram has the Almigthy and all the other fights being setup with Askin and Gerard.
And we get the Rebirth of souls next year in late March and bluray cour 3 later on, then we have something to do while we wait for cour 4 🙂
@WieldMyWord we playing RoS till cour 4 comes out 😤
I would LOVE to see Isshina and Ryuken fight! Hell even ginjo would be cool too.
So close to the end of cour 3, really curious to see it
I’m not sure how silly this question may be but do animators animate during the season coming out as in the episode the animator cried after finishing was finished around a week and a half ago ?
They animated months releasing this animes so it'll be early but they don't reveal everything
Pretty sure the cliffhanger will be Uryu using the antithesis, swapping in everyone he stroke or simply teaming up with Ichigo, revealing he's still a good guy.
Imagine if Yhwach was capable of resurrecting some of his sternritter
That would be awesome and it will also help the other characters who didn't get to do much in the arc
No need for an Aizen Bankai I feel like it contributes to his character and the mystery surrounding his true max power. But Ichigo's bankai is another matter though we were shown it then teased and never shown again.
Imagine Ichibei, as soon as Ichigo loses to Askin badly comes in and (steals everyone's blacks gain some power or whtv, could even revive the rest of Squad 0 and we could see other Squad 0 members Bankai maybe as well) kidnaps Ichigo, goes to a hidden realm/sacred place or whtv and puts Ichigo up as the Soul King 😂. Don't know who's gonna rescue him - Chad (oh yea), Aizen, Uryu, Ichigo's Dad 🤣, Hitsugaya, the fullbringers or whoever else but an extended final fight would also be good although I hope its not just Yhwach breaking Ichigo's swords over and over. What if Chad goes resurrecion ?!! Omg it would be crazy loool
I hope they take the same amount of time for Cour 3 as Cour 3 because if they can keep this quality this will truly be the best Anime of all time
Me honestly wanting to see it end with urahara saying bankai 🤯🤯🤯🤯
Yo can we get Chad some more stocks cor 4😮
If these episodes are better than Shunsui's Bankai reveal, it will be the best episode of 2024 for sure.
I will not complaining if we see something more unexpected things in upcoming episodes just like in privious cour - senjumaru's bankai 🔥
double all of their wages
Is it possible that Aizen's bankai is an assist type which is why he never used it cause he always fought alone until he teamed with Ichigo? If that's the case then we might get bankai
Maybe 🤔
Regardless of a mistranslation or not but this new Ikkaku/Hiyosu scene is MIA 😂
Do you think the release date will be early 2025 or late 2025 I wouldn't be surprised if it's another October release date but I'm just wondering if they are already producing the final season now
cour 4 has already been in production since early december this month, so we can probably expect cour 4 around october next year to keep the 1 year production cycle.
*forgot about what happens after the friend CH* but still ill keep this up*
Ichi v uyru is a perfect way to show us Horn of salvation...and then the Bankai can be the reveal during the ywhbach fight.
HERE IS WHY
My agenda is having more HOS..and still have the introduction of it matter .and so if its a ichi vs uyru....i think this a perfect way to use this transformation and it still be as important. The reason is because orihime can still fight WITH ichigo...and because ichigo can still awaken/imbalance with quincy reiatsu. Orihime can still feel like ichigo is juat rushing in to quick ...so we can still have that feeling..then instead of HOS its the Bankai...and we can still have ywhbach playing with him...then gren rey getsuga can still work....then ywhbach takes notice that ichigo ia about to use quincy techniques and not just hollow THENN the breaking of tensa zangetsu. ...idk its a pipe dream..but works
I highly doubt this lol. Would ruin the orihime moment with Ichigo. And the last thing orihime would wanting to be doing is fighting against Uryu. I doubt this fight even gonna happen. But if it does, id be kinda mad is he uses HOS for Uryus ass 😂
I don't think a full blown round 2 Uryu vs Ichigo ever happened after the friend arc will fully make sense since basically By the time Ichigo meets Uryu to confront him, Jugram basically interrupts them and basically Jugram at this time had the almighty eyes.
Basically forced to let Ichigo and the gang escape and Uryu ends up fighting haschwalt. Basically if they flesh out tthe scuffle Uryu and Ichigo had in this part of the story, then it their second fight will probably end up not being conclusive since the cliff hanger might end up the reval of Jugram confronting Uryu
@gregllo424 i know the HOS meant ALOT..but it would be to capture uryu not kill him. think orihime would help with that.
But forgot what happens after friends CH
@@Snzn_7TOTALLY FORGOT....
@@hollowify_tensa_zangetsu What happens after friends arc, is Ywach goes to sleep, Jugram recieves the almighty and finds out where Uryu is at. Ichigo and the gang Confronts Uryu. Jugram interupts the conversation and reveal his almighty. Uryu tries to play coy so he blast Ichigo in the gang away from Jugram .then he explains his plan with the gang and why he can't do his plan with the others, then gave them a his sunkey and told them to escape via the gate of the sun to escape wandereich once Uryu is able to accomplish his plan. Jugram then finally had proof Uryu is a traitor so he fights Uryu before Uryu completes settinng up his suicide bombing of the entire warwelht.
We bout to EATTTT 😭🙏🏾
I pray cour 4 ending is different.
i want kira vs shaz domino fight animated if possible
The last 2 episodes will be ywatch vs ichigo again because they have yet to sell us on his foresight abilities. Maybe starts of with ichigo vs uryu and ywatch swoops in and it becomes ywatch vs ichigo but instead of the manga ending we know. Ywatch succeeds in ending ichigo. The part two episode is sorta the same but little key difference in the episode and ending with uryu end, using his Quincy power to swap places with ichigo, this way we have 3 or 4 episode dedicated to ywatch foresight abilities and all the “ends” ywatch has seen
we’re so back (it’s not over)
you forgot Kubo's comment on Yoruichi's and Aswalt's Voice acting on kluboutside, which has people beliving the ending will be their fight/cour 3 will have their fight.
I think we would only get the confrontation with Askin vs Yoruichi and not the full fight since that will take atleast 2 episode or more if they add original content like a flashback or something. These 3 episodes left are only going to pick up the chapters we have jumped over and smooth stuff out with original anime content if I have to guess.
Another big Uryu fight would be mildly disappointing. Unless it fleshes out the Antithesis. 😅
What I wanted the most is more background information to 1000 years ago and the soul king.
Based on the opening song, it would be cool if we get the beginning of Ichigo vs Ywach ending with gee re an Rey cero.
im trying to search for other anime to watch in anticipation of the massive void in my heart following the end of this season
I feel like if we are going ichigo vs uryu route maybe they end it on uryu telling ichigo about hus plan. That would be great since jugram was already keeping an eye on him & in manga next fight these guys are involved in is against yhwach & jugram
These guys are the Kendrick Lamar of the anime world they keep releasing banger after banger in rapid fire. Like this is better than Dandandan at this point its such a banger season.
wait so is there a new ep coming out this week or will we have to wait until the 28th?
The leaks imply there is 14 episodes this cour and it doesn't seem to be a recap, so on 28th we get a double episode just like with cour 2 to make up for the recap of episode 27.
I’m yearning to see a fight scene thats greater then Yamamoto vs ywach
We are cooking boys!!!
I get it bro the ending of cour 3 will be one helluva BANGER!!!
While I would appreciate another ichigo fight, the implications it would have on the rematch with Yhwach seems to be conflicting (without spoilers). I dont know what else he could show or prove between now and then without uprooting how that fight goes in the manga.
I imagine cour 3 ending cliffhanger would be Kira appearing from the dead
Idk about that. Kira?😭
I hope the new stuff will be about the past of the Quincy and the creation of Soul king
We might have the ending of Cour 3 with a more fleshed out battle between BazzB and Haschwalth maybe we might get new Vollstandig design for BazzB and Haschwalth will finally debut his
Bazz b already got hit by the auswalhen, he can't use volstandig anymore
@@prashanthravi8470 I’ve always had a head cannon wondering if Letz Stil would’ve ever came up again in a anime exclusive TWBY fight.

So are you saying there’s POTENTIAL for CFYOW and SAWFY to be animated? I mean it’s been discussed and or rumoured by us that we will most definitely get it as spin offs or a movie who knows. But well after Kubo does Hell Arc manga etc. which in that to, shall be animated years later.
But I can’t help but speculate and wonder what you mean by, it won’t go unrewarded what Bleach Has brought Studio Pierrot.
I’m assuming they’ll definitely flush out the BLEACH Universe meaning. Burn The Witch, Hell Arc whenever the manage is fully complete, the Can’t Fear Your Own World and Hopefully the Spirits Are Forever With You bleach novels. I mean speculation but 🤷
I don’t want CFYOW in TYBW at all
@@flameofrebirth101 fair enough, I feel like it would be good to see Tokinada and Azashiro. I mean even as a movie would be nice. Maybe as something for us Bleach fans to have inbetween the TYBW ending and whilst we wait for the Hell Arc to start up etc.
I’m not saying straight after TYBW. Just as a spin off as it is events after TYBW could expand on some other characters too, Shuhei for example. They can’t fit a lot of content, “big content”, into cour 4. Meaning Shinji’s bankai reveal that was huge. Well for me especially since he’s one of my favourite characters but is unfortunately fodder😂😅.
If they do some how include the other things then I won’t even ask for the novels to be adapted. If they don’t it leaves the door open to expand on other things!
The ending is Ichigo flat on the floor thanks to Askin
I want them to end with "yokoso watashi no soul society" for cour 3
They can't that's like 30 chapters ahead
I'm not a ichigo vs uryu fan. But i know there's no way around it. So let it happen and move on quickly.
Bazz b is probably the next episode
May be they added aizens bankai
All I can say is, I really hope Bazz B vs Jugram is great, because most of the manga fights have been more or less 1 to 1 with the bare minimum treatment, and were insane letdowns imo.
I love the Ichigo vs Uryu & Renji vs Uryu episodes, but I hope they can give these upcoming fights a ton of love so we won’t just have those 2 eps.
As far as the last episode, Whatever it is, Ichigo vs Uryu round 2 or Yoruichi vs Askin, I hope those pop off and this isn’t all just words we have heard before only for them to not be true.
Anyways, great video.
I mean the thing they hyped up for cour 3 were actually hype episodes,
Cour 4 will be insane. Btw you had a small mistake. C1 did not have a recap episode. C2 only had a recap becasue of the episode 26 situation, it being cut from a hour long ep to a standard ep.
Ohnoo😭😭
C1 had a recap at the start of... episode 3 or 4 (can't remember the exact episode actually, but it was there). But the recap was only like 3ish minutes long.
@@paledrake we were talking about a whole episode recapp, not a few min in one episode. Those are totally different, but both recaps accrued due to production issues. C2 was a mess, and ep 3 and 4 in c1 had production issues as well. It was ep 4 that had a couple of min recap.
@@flameofrebirth101 The original plan was to have 13 episodes on each cour, there is no hell they could have fit the latter part of episode 27 in to 26. It seems the production issue was more on the planning since they would have needed to implement more chapters for these stuff to fit which would have been crammed.
The sternritters NEED to be ressurected. Maybe not all of them, but a good amt. The sternritters need more character development, and also more characters in bleach need more fights(isshin, ryuken, CHAD(seriously), ginjo, the vizards, grimmjow and nel. It would be a great thing to give them more prevalence. Plus its not an asspull as ywach ressurected the royal guard about two times already lol. Im sure he has it in him to ressurect the whole group if hes that much more powerful
Yes that would be awesome. Also, ywhach has the souls of all the dead sternwritters, so it's possible for him to resurrect them considering he has the soul king powers
@@prashanthravi8470 indeed! What would be even better if that if they use the gate of the sun mechanic more, so that they can travel around the seritei easier. So that way you would have a few sternritter in warhwelt, a few in the soul society, maybe some in the world of the living. THAT would be epic, maybe give them an epic touchdown on the field like saiyan saga vibes. It would make the war feel grander and go to different sceneries as well
Ichigo v haschwalth and uryuu.
Ichigo gets the balanced. Uryuu betrays them with the antithesis to save Ichigo and wound Haschwalth.
I really really really hope you're wrong, I don't want to see them fight again because it would end with Ichigo taking a 3rd L in such a short timeframe. (1.Uryuu, 2.askin, and the. 3 Uryuu again. Ichigo no matter what is gonna hold back and that is the last thing I want to see right now. We all know it's going to be Chad vs Gerard 😏
Will we get Kira's sub arc in cour 4?

Is ichibei coming bacj guys?
Bazz B Vs Jugram is confirmed to be in the next two episodes, this will also include a flashback of their childhood and how YHWACH recruited them
There will also be a scene where Kira regains his power and fights
The episodes will end right at the start of 2 major fights, Askin vs Yoruichi + Urahara + Grimmjow and Gerard Vs Zaraki + Toshiro + Byakyua
Also why would ichigo fights uryu again? The jig is already up. Quincys know he is a traitor now. Also 3 fights in 13 episodes for a one guy? Yeah, thx god it's not happening.
I’m pretty sure only jugram knows so uryu fighting ichigo maybe while jugram picks up the explosives around the place makes sense actually
@shxiftyk3612 There is no time for that. Episodes are like 2 x 23min with 6 mins of credits and intro. Friends saga will be like 30 mins.
@@DuBstep115 but jugram vs bazz probably 1.5 episodes idk we shall see
@@shxiftyk3612 and ichigo has not yet been turned in to a rug.
The jig is up? The quincies don't know that he is a traitor yet, Jugram is the only one who is actively suspicious but he basically has no solid proof to treat him as a traitor.
In the manga after the friend arc and Bazz B fight, when Ichigo gets to meet with Uryu again, that is where Uryu finally revealed his plans with Ichigo, and Jugram basically heard Uryu admit that he is a traitor that is how the Uryu and Jugram fight begin.
So no the quincies have not yet realize Uryu is definitely a traitor
This is also where the theory of Uryu vs Ichigo round 2 since people know they will end up meeting after the Bazz B and Jugram, story.
The only reason why I can't think they will actaully commit to fullblown Uryu vs Ichigo round 2, is that Uryu needs to be in perfect shape to fight Jugram after that and I feel like if ever a Ichigo vs Uryu round 2 happens here, Ichigo needs to win since that is logical snese why Uryu ends up admitting his plan to Ichigo

I hope you're wrong. I can't stand Uryu.
i know the real reason why they cancelled bleach .it was because the series questioned authority
How does it question authority?
It was never cancelled
@@theelite.esmithftw2825 i made a nearly 4 hour video about it
Japanese media often reflects the country's cultural struggles with authority, nationalism, and historical accountability. When comparing series like Bleach and Naruto, the differences in how they handle these themes become glaring.
Why Bleach Stands Out: Bleach repeatedly questions authority and exposes systemic flaws:
Ichigo and his friends rebel against the Soul Society to save Rukia, defying unjust traditions.
Aizen’s rebellion critiques the stagnation and hypocrisy of the Soul Society's leadership.
Tosen highlights the lack of accountability when his friend’s murderer goes unpunished.
Ginjo, the first Substitute Soul Reaper, rebels after his Fullbringer friends are killed by Soul Society, showing how they use and discard people.
In the Hell Verse movie, Kubo’s original script explored moral gray areas-like a man being sent to Hell for avenging his sister-which clashed with the cultural preference for black-and-white morality.
Tokinada, a corrupt noble, commits atrocities yet faces no punishment, exposing how power protects the guilty.
These themes challenge traditional Japanese values, where authority and conformity are often unquestioned. This might explain why Bleach faced resistance, especially in a culture that avoids addressing uncomfortable truths.
Why Naruto Reinforces Conformity: In contrast, Naruto glorifies blind loyalty and avoids critiquing authority:
The Uchiha Massacre is framed as a "necessary evil," with Itachi portrayed as a tragic hero for following orders. The system behind the massacre is never truly questioned.
Naruto idolizes the Hokage and the village system, ignoring its flaws, while Sasuke-who questions it-is vilified.
Other villages, like the Lightning and Mist, are demonized to make Konoha appear more righteous, reinforcing an "us vs. them" narrative.
By the end, the series rushes to a "we can all get along" conclusion, glossing over the historical grudges and systemic issues that caused conflict.
The Role of Nationalism in Japanese Media: This contrast ties into Japan’s broader cultural context:
Movies like Grave of the Fireflies and Barefoot Gen portray Japan as a victim of WWII while avoiding its role as an aggressor.
Textbooks downplay atrocities like the Nanjing Massacre and comfort women, while shrines like Yasukuni glorify war criminals as heroes.
Series like Code Geass and Hetalia vilify Western powers while sidestepping Japan's own historical wrongdoings.
Even filler episodes like the one in Gantz blame Western powers (e.g., “Americans killing people in the Middle East”) without acknowledging Japan's imperialist past.
Examples of Media Challenging This Narrative: Some works dare to challenge these norms but face backlash:
Bleach critiques authority and exposes corruption within the Soul Society.
Japan Sinks (Netflix adaptation) highlights racism and xenophobia, showing how half-Japanese people are mistreated. Its critique of ultra-nationalism led to backlash in Japan.
Attack on Titan, while not explicitly nationalistic, explores systemic oppression but stops short of critiquing Japan-like systems.
The Divide in Japanese Media:
Works like Bleach and Japan Sinks challenge authority and national myths, often receiving pushback from audiences uncomfortable with these themes.
Meanwhile, series like Naruto, Code Geass, and Gantz often reinforce blind loyalty, nationalism, and a victim narrative, avoiding self-reflection.
This selective storytelling creates a consistent pattern: rebellion and questioning authority (as seen in Bleach) are rare in Japanese media, making such works stand out for their boldness. However, they often face resistance in a society where conformity and authority are deeply ingrained.
@@theelite.esmithftw2825 Japanese media often reflects the country's cultural struggles with authority, nationalism, and historical accountability. When comparing series like Bleach and Naruto, the differences in how they handle these themes become glaring.
Why Bleach Stands Out: Bleach repeatedly questions authority and exposes systemic flaws:
Ichigo and his friends rebel against the Soul Society to save Rukia, defying unjust traditions.
Aizen’s rebellion critiques the stagnation and hypocrisy of the Soul Society's leadership.
Tosen highlights the lack of accountability when his friend’s murderer goes unpunished.
Ginjo, the first Substitute Soul Reaper, rebels after his Fullbringer friends are killed by Soul Society, showing how they use and discard people.
In the Hell Verse movie, Kubo’s original script explored moral gray areas-like a man being sent to Hell for avenging his sister-which clashed with the cultural preference for black-and-white morality.
Tokinada, a corrupt noble, commits atrocities yet faces no punishment, exposing how power protects the guilty.
These themes challenge traditional Japanese values, where authority and conformity are often unquestioned. This might explain why Bleach faced resistance, especially in a culture that avoids addressing uncomfortable truths.
@@theelite.esmithftw2825 Why Naruto Reinforces Conformity: In contrast, Naruto glorifies blind loyalty and avoids critiquing authority:
The Uchiha Massacre is framed as a "necessary evil," with Itachi portrayed as a tragic hero for following orders. The system behind the massacre is never truly questioned.
Naruto idolizes the Hokage and the village system, ignoring its flaws, while Sasuke-who questions it-is vilified.
Other villages, like the Lightning and Mist, are demonized to make Konoha appear more righteous, reinforcing an "us vs. them" narrative.
By the end, the series rushes to a "we can all get along" conclusion, glossing over the historical grudges and systemic issues that caused conflict.
The Role of Nationalism in Japanese Media: This contrast ties into Japan’s broader cultural context:
Movies like Grave of the Fireflies and Barefoot Gen portray Japan as a victim of WWII while avoiding its role as an aggressor.
Textbooks downplay atrocities like the Nanjing Massacre and comfort women, while shrines like Yasukuni glorify war criminals as heroes.
Series like Code Geass and Hetalia vilify Western powers while sidestepping Japan's own historical wrongdoings.
Even filler episodes like the one in Gantz blame Western powers (e.g., “Americans killing people in the Middle East”) without acknowledging Japan's imperialist past.
Yea ichigo is in a losing streak lately
Not sure if we can expect much cause Last Episodes are always the hardest on the production and they are likely to be produced in a crunch, but if they had good planning, then maybe it's possible, just don't overhype yourself
read manga ;)
Milking it before its finally dead
So this might mean Kubo is sort of rewriting Bleach to not help things flow better but to potentially tie things together towards the end and expand things for bleach in the future.
yes
waht if........hear me out. Aizen being the ultimate villain at the end like kubo hinted at
SO COUR 4 WILL BE SUMMER 2025???????
Nah it'd be atleast a year. Last one was christmas with shran li frontier
more like October 2025, if cour 4 is going to have the same standard or higher than cour 3 (which it should) then it will take atleast 1 year from the moment they start working on cour 4.
impossible would be too soon
No more Uryu vs Ichigo please . We need something new not this pair fighting again. Yawn
😅I'm kinda there with you. I understand this is a main staple of Shonen but this conflict needs to be resolved between them.
Their conflict is improtant🫠
