Yoruichi Shihōin: THE BEST GIRL | BLEACH: Character Analysis
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 ก.ย. 2021
- The time has come to analyse the best female character in BLEACH, Yoruichi Shihoin. Yoruichi has a fascinating backstory during the turn back the pendulum arc, where we learn about her friendship with Urahara and Tessai, and the several positions she held within the Soul Society. Which included the head of the Onmitsukido, Captain of the second division, head of the Shihoin Clan just to name a few. In this video I cover Yoruichi’s involvement within the story including her helping Ichigo and the others during the Soul Society arc, her battle against Aizen during the Fake Karakura Town and lastly her appearances within the Thousand Year Blood War arc. So let's break down the best girl of BLEACH!

Everyone simping for Yoruichi, but Soi-fon is the ultimate Yoruichi simp
Why are you so damn right
That's a fact. 💯
He speaks the truth
Soi-fon is BG. Fight me!
True that.
Yoruichi is a character that made me like her because of her duality in terms of her personality. She has an amazing character design both physically and mentally. Additionally her relationship and dynamic with Urahara is top tier for me.
True that. She's fiercely lethal yet knows when to stop and be diplomatic. She'd save the worlds with Kisuke yet will still give him a black eye for his duplicity and occasional perversions. She's sure someone to have at your side when things get bad.
"Amazing character design" yea bro especially in the chest area 💀
@@inleviwetrust lmao
I don't get why people have this notion that Shonen only recently started doing female characters right when Kubo has plenty and I'd say treats them even better than most because he ain't afraid to let them get hurt/be on the front lines
Exactly. Remember the rukia vs arroniero fight?
*Rangiku vs Ayon war flash back*
@@Silver-Kaitou and soi fon vs barragan
@@ichigo3147 Yeah my sentiments exactly
probably because Inoue's bullshit outshines the other woman so much
For those who don't know, yoruichi is indeed alive and she ends up becoming a teacher in soul society.
I would like to be a Student
@@tensazangetsu7062 Right!!
Thank Japanese jesus
@sleepy • 16 years ago lets f*cking gooo it finally happened ive shipped these two so much
@@loturzelrestaurant yoruichi straight up says she made shunpo also fanservice is ok as long as its like not too an insane degree
It's funny about the thunder cat form. In the CFYOW novel, it's stated that after her fight; she wandered around asking everyone who was there if they saw her fight. If they said yes, she would slug them as hard as she could and move to the next person.
Which is silly because she never had a problem showing anyone her naked body.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 agreed but I think it's less of her body but more of how she acted. Still pretty funny to think about though.
What with how open she is with her body, not really caring if others see her virtually naked, it is definitely the way that she acted in that form that has her up in arms.
@@judgment5090 She was just being a baby because she's never taken the time to work with and control that form. Ichigo couldn't control his hollow form at first and it took a lot of hard work to do so, she decided to not train with it and neglect it while giving Kiskuke the ability to trigger that form if absolutely necessary. It's her fault she doesn't want to train it.
@@judgment5090 totally. It breaks the persona she likes to exhibit as well as she's the type imo who prefers to be in control and she has none in her cat form
She's literally the nicest person in the series even with her past as an assassin. Her teaching Ichigo about friendship and the heart speaks volumes of her views. She then displayed the latter by using nonlethal takedowns against members of her old command when she could've easily taken their lives. And I'm sure she talked Soifon out of punishing them further for their defeat once the dust settled with Aizen's betrayel. Yoruichi is a true legacy character.
She's a great character with a good moral compass and far nicer than Soifon (not much of an accomplishment) yes, but I wouldn't call her "literally the nicest person" at all. Orihime, Hanataro, Ukitake, Rangiku, etc. are all faaaaar nicer than Yoruichi.
@@Timjer92 Hmm your right. Still for someone with such deadly skills she knows her responsibility with them while being typically jovial.
@@Timjer92 Fuck Soifon. Yeah, Orihime is definition of nice.
Except how she treats her zanpaku-tō as a pet
She is everything I want from a female character in a shonen jump series
A cat?
@@anttibra Thinking of a different word there bud, but you're very close
I only now realize Miruko is only a close second because her character is a lot more simplistic like I do hero work cause I wanna fight, makes me really wish Miruko was more of a mentor figure but then her lone wolf personality trait would be crossed
Yoruchi is not best girl
She is greatest girl of all time
DAMN STRAIGHT BEST GIRL AND BEST WAIFU!!!!
No arguments here. 😙 🎉
Facts
I can't think of any great female character
So yeah SHE IS BEST FEMALE WRITTEN CHARACTER
yea... she's not just best girl of Bleach
like, she's best girl in all of Anime I'd say...
Hell, best girl in all of fiction and non-fiction....
Even better than every girl in real life.... that ever existed, and probably will ever exist...
Yoruichi is probably one of the strongest character within BLEACH, or at least has a potential to become one. She can do Kidos, fight using Hakuda, and is considered the fastest shinigami. Unfortunately, despite her title "Goddess of Flash", she had to be nerfed by plot. 😅 Let us see her ShiKai Kubo!!!
That's why I want kubo to have alot of control over the anime so he can add what he wants & fix what he needs to fix.. He could really fix the askin fight & Make it way better
Imagine a Yoruichi bankai reveal! That would be crazy!
Nerfed by plot? How exactly was she nerfed?
@@Kami_Ugghhh idk, maybe the guy is refering to Yoruichi getting oofed by Askin lul.
Isn't she the fastest charachter?
as a cultured woman, she's my waifu.
If there is a bleach fan that says that they never simped for Yoruichi even once they are not a bleach fan
yoruichi is the perfect example of fan service with a real personality
Idc how anyone feels about her “Thunder Cat” design. It was brilliant and awesome to see and to see how powerful she was. Sure, it could’ve been much less “lewd” but it was still awesome. Plus, it reminds me of how Shunko blows the back fabric off. Something this strong should break off more fabric. The only thing I wish we got to see is her using her Zanpaktou properly in both Shikai and Bankai. We definitely deserved to see that
Ig my main issue is mostly that she doesnt wanna transform into this and she doesnt appear consenting and in control of her actions
I dont mind it that much otherwise
@@axeljulesetienne3917 I can understand your viewpoint on that because I wasn’t a fan of her being forced to transform, though it was definitely needed and the form would’ve washed Askin had she not succumbed to the effects of the Gift Ball.
Form was brilliant indeed, and her form was cat like.. it was just fine.. no "less lewd" needed.
I think it's absolutely fine. She is there more a cat and cats are naked so it makes sense. Normally I don't like Etchi like in Fairy Tail often shown and One Piece sometimes but in Bleach rather rare. But like I said it makes sense for Yoruichi In my opinion so I don't get it why people think this is unnecessary.
@@XxSimon2 it's crazy how people thought this. She was the only the character who was the most free with her body next to Rangiku and Orihime
Yoruichi is a teacher to some of the best fighters in the series. She trained Chad and Orihime back when their powers first developed. She helped Ichigo and Renji achieve Bankai. Every villain who has ever fought her knew to never underestimate her. She’s always going to be a favorite of mine. I don’t find the Thunder Cat form very necessary or particularly entertaining but hey it doesn’t take away my opinion about her character 👍
Yoruichi will change the entire game when the anime comes back.
Yoruichi is for me on the same level as Olivier Mira Armstrong and Balalaika, these are for me the most impressive women who have appeared in anime to date. each has its style but they are a representation of power on a scale completely different from the others in their respective works.
The soifon vs yoruichi fight is underated and one of my fav fights of the soul society arc
yoruichi is one of the best characters of bleach. always loved urahara and her appearences in the series
Yoruichi will always be that character I'm bleach that I can never see enough of anytime she's on screen or on the page instantly puts me in a good mood
She’s my lock screen for a reason
I love yoruichi & wished she got more development..Hopefully via a novel or Kubo doing anime corrections more of her character & past is shown..
In my honest opinion she doesn’t really need development. But rather like you said a deeper look into her past and the Shihoin Clan as a whole to see what made the Goddess of Flash who she is today
i heard there are a story of her and kisuke by kubo, but is only written not draw. i want to know more about her because until now we dont know her motive. kisuke can be a genius, but she was the one who choose him and support him throughout the story.
I love that thunder cat form, especially how Kisuke forced her change in such a funny way. Second favorite woman in Bleach, Unohana is my favorite.
@@loturzelrestaurant wtf does this have to do with my comment?
Kisuke trolling her is the best! Also, Unohana? Really? She scares the shit outta me.
Fking Unohana is crazy.
Yoruichi isn't just one of the best female characters in Bleach, but all of anime.
I love how you put Yoruichi as best girl. You made a good choice with the title 😌
Man when it was revealed that she was actually a girl I was shocked and I hope she makes an appearance in the new hell arc
Yoruichi really can be considered best girl in bleach. She's strong, has a habit of teasing, and is quite beautiful.
She is the best girl in bleach no question
Shihoin Yoruichi is my BEST FRIEND! We used to drink sake together in Konoha alongside with Jiraiya, Urahara Kisuke, and Red-Haired Shanks!
So…have you ever had a taijutsu friendly sparring? Cause that’d be metal !
That looks weirdly accurate
There’s nothing wrong with her thunder cat form. You say erotic, but how many times has she been naked and revealing throughout the series? It’s not out of character at all. She’s pretty free with her body. People don’t have to like it, but it’s certainly nothing we haven’t seen before when it comes to Yoruichi.
she always naked in her cat form, that explain why she dont matter being naked even in his human form.
Yeah idk about that "her lowest point" take. I honestly think that's a overdramtically garbage take no offense
It's fine. Imagine the people complaining about that.
Ichigo on the other hand has a problem seeing her naked
@@nonzamemange7612 Cause he's loyal to Orihime
I think all Bleach fans had a collective jaw drop with Yoruichi's human reveal, whether it was manga or anime. I know my teenage self was immediately entranced. X3
And I still am! She is drop-dead gorgeous, but also genuine, fun, strong, and compassionate. Plus I adore a good tease, and boy, would she drive me up a wall in the best ways, even as a viewer.
I hope we get more of the Hell arc so we can find out what happened to her. She deserves some attention after the drop-off of the TYBW arc.
What made me love her was the fact that she didn't care about being a noble 💜 She's definitely my favorite Bleach girl
Yoruichi really just hits different 🤧
She’s so mysterious yet helpful intelligent beautiful is an amazing fighter and just such a well rounded character
She is my favorite Female in ALL anime
When I was a small boy watching Bleach, Yoruichi awoken my love of brown girls. Godbless you Kubo. And godbless you DBZimran
I'm a catlover, of course I love Yoruichi! And, well, the way she was drawn at the end, what can I say? It doesn't bother me at all. I found her quite feline. Lovely review...
I definitely love Yoruichi's character. The playful mood with bouts of seriousness is great for characters with tons of powers and skill. It shows their confidence in their abilities and gives them an air of mastery because she isn't bragging how fast she is, she just is faster than her opponents. Also yeah the fan service bit is very good, but never overshadows her competence and skill until that battle in the TYBW arc.
Now what I am about to say is nothing but a fun head cannon theory I've been working and just want to hear what others think about it.
I always figured that Yoruichi Shihoin's Electric Cat form is her Bankai. That we know Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin have a great relationship with each other. Yoruichi Shihoin trusts Kisuke Urahara with her life. So I propose the idea that Yoruichi Shihoin willingly subjugated herself to one of Kisukue Urahara's experiments and this experiment I thinking of involves permanently bonding a Shinigami to their Zanpakuto. First, let me point out that when you consider what a Zanpakuto truly is permanently bonding with it isn't so far-fetched. We can also see this happening with Dangai Ichigo and with Sosuke Aizen. We also see in a flashback a much younger Yoruichi Shiohion with a Zanpakuto. I also want to take a moment to point out Kensei Muguruma who is always in Shikai release after the Turn Back the Pendulum arc so I also want to theorize that in her bonded state with her Zanpakuto Yoruichi Shihoin is also in a constant Shikai release like Kensei Muguruma. Now I want to bring up Suì Fēng and how there is a stark contrast between her Shunko and Yoruichi Shihoin's Shunko. That the lightning element that comes off Yoruichi Shihoin's Shunko could be an ability of her Zanpakuto that she is bonded to. That Yoruichi Shihoin is combining her Shunko with her Zanpakuto's lighting elemental ability. Then with all this said it does make sense that Kisuke Urahara can trigger Yoruichi Shihoin's Bankai because it is the product of his experimentation. Then I want to remark on the personality change of Yoruichi Shihoin in the Electric Cat form by addressing one Zaraki Kenpachi and point out his Bankai changed his physical features and his personality. As for Yoruichi's full-on cat form we see for the first half of the Bleach anime can be also chalked up to her Zanpakuto and its ability. I now want to draw attention to Yumichika Ayasegawa for my example and how he purposely says the wrong Release Command to make his Zanpakuto take a "false" Shikai form and how Yoruichi Shihoin could be doing something very similar with the Zanpakuto she is bonded with to take on that full-on cat form.
How long did it take you to write this is my question
I think it was revealed that Yoruichi's zampakutoh is one which is inherited as the head of the Shihouin clan. She left it behind whn she got away with Urahara because she didn't want to screw her family over, leaving the sword to the next in line
The novels actually state what happened to a lot of characters.
@@loturzelrestaurant Why tf you keep copy and paste the same comment on every post. You creep you’re the real sad one here.
@@loturzelrestaurant nothing is wrong with fanservice.
Kubo has done a wonderful job with yoruichi. I love her as a character
I really liked the overall aesthetic of her Thunder Cat form, but I also definitely understood the criticism of it.
Yoruichi is awesome bc she acts like a real cat,not a stereotypical: loyal and protective to her glaring which she chooses,with depth and humour on a a good day and and being hellishly terrible to her enemies.
YORUICHIIII SAMAAA😍❤️ thank you🙏DBZimran-san.
I love Yoruichi with a passion. With me being Afro-Indigenous, seeing an Ebony and badass Shonen female character.... really boosted my self -esteem in college. 😍
Why do you think shes indigenous?

Yessir been waiting for this one
i was about to request this but finally you uploaded about yoruichi
Flash Waifu Goddess the literal greatness that she exudes just by appearing kubo needs to please give us a kisuke Yoruichi backstory
Everyone over here simping for yoruichi, but just remember...Nelliel can swallow an entire Cero (no gag reflex) and her saliva heals, can’t get more best girl then that
Until you remember that Nelliel almost killed Ichigo from hugging him so hard lmfao
@@joaquincasascortes624 that’s a risk I’m willing to take, besides Yoruichi and Urahara probably a thing, mean while Nelliel still single, I rest my case
@@thyweebhub I like the case you presented. It was a good one. 😂
@@thyweebhub Well said it.
wait, hol on can’t she give infinite head if she heals ur balls to where it feels like nothing happened 🤔
Yes. Ty man for this Video. One of my Favorit characters.
Kudos to Kubo.Man's got talent for making his women fine af AND also well written
Right?
It’s weird how he thinks he’s bad at making them.

That's it, I'm calling it! - Lord Salad
This is a really an excellent video on one of the strongest but underrated characters in Bleach. I wished we could see her bankai or even just her shikai's ability.
Ohojo how iv waited for this
Yes, This made my day.
She truly is one of my favorite female characters in all of Anime. I understand about how people can be upset about her cat-like form, but for me personally I like it. Besides the fan service from it(which personally I don’t mind seeing that from any character nor does it bother me), it gives off like a untamed beast nature of her that makes her feel all that more powerful and cool.
Great job man. I love your channel you are great at analysing and explaining. Yoroichi is one the best female characters. Her and rukia are my number ones.
Already has me hooked once again👁
GREAT VID
Me: *read the title*
Also me: "that's enough , I'm satisfied"
🐐🐐🐐
Jokes aside, great video bro🔥🔥
Great video dude
I also liked how CFYOW showed Yoruichi's deadly side in helping to set up Tokinada's death and then wanting to silence Hisagi for digging into the truth of the Spirit King's history. It really drove home her assasin noble status even with her general friendliness. She's softened that by Rukia and Renji's wedding, even agreeing with Kira that Soul Society's history is distorted and that Squad Zero officially declaring the conflict the 'Great Soul King protection War' is disgusting and disingenuous.
The SS has a lot of major problems to it and when the class division is the _smallest_ of them, it says a lot.
@@Silver-Kaitou Indeed. Conflict betweens the nobles was/is another given their propensity for sending assassins against each other as power play(Soifon and Yoruichi can attest to that). Yet again it was all about power and control right from the start so it's not really surprising.
I think if it is for the greater good of the SS and for the sake of balance, she will do anything in her power.
@@hadiyazid She also has the decency to admit that their system is flawed and that almost everything they know is a lie courtesy of Squad Zero and other higher ups. That conversation she had with Kira in the opening of WDKALY was telling.
Hey, can you do a character analysis on Ikkaku Madarame or a Zangestu (Yhwach) next? That would be interesting
Great video!
I have never watched such an in-depth character analysis in anime/manga.
I love the character too, and I hope with the return of the anime, we get more of her.
Yoruichi is one of my favorite female characters in shounen.
Omg why haven't I asked for this thankyou
Yes! Best girl! I loved the dynamic between her and Urahara, everyone remember the "do you want your milk after or before we talk?" xD or when he held her up as a cat form. So cute! It only got better after that in the SS Arc, she was more than just another shinigami. Whenever either one them showed up, I felt relief. You just knew they were strong and dependable. Also the women of color, not gonna lie, it makes her more of a badass than your standard. I dont even recall any other character if color besides her.
Tia Hallibel (#3 Espada)
Yoruichi is awesome. One of the best female designs in this series of great female designs.
I didn't think anyone cared that much about her thunder cat form to be upset by it... Seemed on brand for her.
i didnt even watch the whole video and i already liked the vid
Imran: Let's talk about Yoruichi.
Thanos: This brings a smile to my face!
Really nice analysis; liking the fact that this anime still gets so many attentions after all these years. Bleach is one of the first anime I've watched and the reason I still watch today. However, episode 366 is the last for me, afterwards I tried reading the manga, but at some point the world scaling gets soo stretched that I felt no connection anymore.
23:23 The "gift ball" is a poison ball. "Gift" in German means "poison" and all Quincy-related stuff is taken from German.
I always thought she was like the yugioh card monster Called thunder Nyan-Nyan a thunder cat woman and maybe her sword is that of a cat and that's why it always sulky it doesn't wanna do anything really
SHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESH YOUR BACK!?
Yoruichi is my favorite bleach girl!
Yoruichi is truly one of the best girls in Bleach with a cat like personality and her laid-back attitude she's easily one of my top 10 favorite female characters.
Urahara and Yoruichi are some of the best characters in Bleach imo.
Fact
Yoruichi and Kenpachi is what got me into bleach to begin with. That first fight with him and Ichigo is iconic and her first appearance is iconic despite the fanservice.
I loved Yoruichi as a character. Her whole vibe is essentially taunt and speed around
Amazing
I wonder if Yoruichi had her Thundercat form during the Arrancar War, or if Urahara helped her develop it after being inspired by what he experienced when fighting Wonderwiese.
ive had her in my life for over 17 years and i never knew she broke the glass ceiling in the Shihoin clan. she really is the best girl EVER!
Thanks for your the upload 👍!! XD My good friend watchs this show.. XD
Ahh yes, the Queen of the Waifus and Goddess of the Flash step
I do love her personality, her amazing figure, and her combat style. I remember being surprised when she was revealed to be a woman. I do wanna know more about her and what her sword can do.
Small correction @22:14
She manages to attack Sternritter (not Espada).
Fantastic analysis of Yoruichi. I want to know more about her brother in the anime.
The scene when she is fighting Soi Fon the poor girl cries over being left behind still hits me hard.
I love her fanservice. I want more bro
Soi Fon was like a child whose mom left home. Her anger isn’t that Yorouichi left, it’s that she was left behind and to make it worse she left with Urahara
This kitty has claws.
Just gotta say this is the best title you could’ve gone with and I agree 100 percent with it
She is most definitely The Best Girl
I love her!!
Finally!
My favourite character
Yoruichi is basically fan service while being a good character
I knew Yoruichi was going to be an awesome character the moment she transformed into a naked woman😏😂
I agree. I didn't see a nude female. I saw a bold badazz warrior that had total confidence in herself and her skill. Meeeouch.
One of my favourite characters!
While it's not a design I would have chosen for Yoruichi's finale, the thunder cat form would have honestly been just fine if she'd chosen it herself. She's always owned the hell out of her own body and sexuality without letting it define who she is, so going into battle wearing nothing but lightning wouldn't be out of character. But the fact that it was forced on her and she doesn't like doing it really leaves a bad taste in the mouth - especially considering it still isn't as cool as Shunko. Hopefully they'll change the circumstances slightly in the anime adaption.
She's appeared fully nude in front of Ichigo multiple times. I'm sure she isn't too concerned about some skimpy outfit when she's bared it all before of her own free will.
@@blacksunshine9995 Consent matters, man.
@@pieoverlordOk, so it's been a long time since I even read the chapter or kept up with Bleach so I just had to go look at a few things. It's more to do with how the form transforms her mentally instead of how she looks. Yoruichi is the type that doesn't mind showing skin. As for consent, that kinda goes out the window when it's a life and death situation that can shake the foundations of their entire world. Also, even when she doesn't have her full wits about her, she still has instinct and trust around Kisuke. It's notlike he would use this form to take sexual advantage of her. She developed this form so she knew how it would look in the first place. And she knows what type of guy Kisuke is, and it shouldn't be a surprise that he would develop a way to use her like that unless it was truly a situation that called for it. Hell, he didn't even use it on Aizen or use his bankai. Clearly the stakes were a bit higher in this moment.
@@blacksunshine9995 In-universe justifications don't matter, it just feels gross to see an awesome character have her mind effectively wiped and her body almost entirely stripped by one of the people she trusts most in the world whilst she's expressly telling him not to. Had Kubo written it so that Kisuke convinced her to do it or she'd just done it of her own free will, this wouldn't be a conversation we'd be having and the story would have played out exactly the same. Even taking away the nakedness, it would feel incredibly off for Urahara to force his will like that onto his friend and equal. The exact way it does play out and how it fits into culture at large (even at the time) just doesn't feel good to read.
@@pieoverlord I'm a little busy for the next couple hours but I'll reply in a little bit and tell you why you're wrong.
I love Yoruichi! She is my second fav character in Bleach...Number 1 is Rukia!
Best fan sevice and strong female character ❤
