The way they portrayed Unohana in this episode was so damn satisfying for me being a Manga reader, the level of shadows and wrongness to her face in how savage she truly is on the inside was absolutely amazing. This was one of the big "please get it right!" moments for me and they've not stumbled on any yet. For Manga readers, I want a panning shot around that stretching scene so we can see the glory in all its majesty.
Interesting facts about Unohana's Zanpakuto: 1. As far as we know it's the only Zanpakuto who's Shikai and Bankai share the same name, although... 2. Minazuki is the traditional name for the month of June in Japanese, yet also translates to "All Things End", so it is possible that her Shikai is named after the month and her Bankai holds the other meaning 3. Minazuki is the only Zanpakuto in the series who's Shikai name we know but who's release command we do not, aside from Zangetsu, which we never see transition from a sealed state to its Shikai
People always say "how don't you notice a mountain of bodies next to you?" but you gotta remember that her underling thought SHE killed all those people, which means that she most likely thought it was her soldiers who did it; so when she realised it wasn't them her immediate question is: how log have those bodies been there?
Imagine a person only ate chips all day, every day, and tossed the bags without a care in world, you wouldn't expect that person to notice a bag of chips piled up. everywhere right beside them would you?
I'm BACK! === This episode reveals that Kenpachi #2-10 were never true holders of the title and only had it because they were the captains of Squad 11 (especially the Ninth Kenpachi who definitely only got the title because Kenpachi #8, Sōya Azashiro, was tossed into Muken without being killed by his successor as is tradition). Even Zaraki only truly earned the title in this episode despite having initially obtained it when he killed Kenpachi #10 Gosuke Kiganjō. In her heart, Unohana never truly relinquished the title when she moved from Squad 11 to Squad 4. All these facts really drag down Squad 11 for calling all of their captains and acting as if they were the strongest Shinigami despite #2-#10 never having truly earned the title. Just so you know, their flesh melting off during the fight was just a visual metaphor for Zaraki becoming like Unohana as an uninhibited Reaper and True Kenpachi and showing himself as an embodiment of death. Many fans mistake it as Minazuki's blood being acidic in nature. Unohana's sword becoming encased in blood and being passed to Zaraki was also a visual metaphor for passing on her title. === Asauchi (浅打, Shallow Hit) were actually first mentioned in the Soul Society arc by Old Man Zangetsu. "Shallow hit" refers to the grossly reduced power of a Zanpakutō whose wielder cannot connect with it properly. === *Retsu "Yachiru" Unohana* Shikai: Minazuki (肉雫唼, Flesh-Drops' Gorge) Bankai: Minazuki (皆尽, All Things' End) Bankai Special Ability: The blood-like substance unleashed by Minazuki can be manipulated for potent offensive and defensive maneuvers. The slashes from Unohana's main sword can form large and sharp blades from the blood-like substance to swiftly attack her enemies from long distances. She can also create smaller blades by performing rapid slashes in all directions, creating a loose sphere that protects her from attacks. Additionally, she can use Minazuki to rapidly heal any injuries she sustains without requiring Kaidō (Healing Kido). === Kubo "Klub Outside" Fun Facts: -According to Q&A #598, "Retsu" is Unohana's birth name, given to her by her father, while "Yachiru" is the name she gave herself. -According to Q&A #586 by Tite Kubo on his fansite "Klub Outside", there can only be a maximum of 5 Royal Guard members at any given time. -According to Q&A #488, Nimaiya's Zanpakutō Sense means that he knows exactly which Asauchi are in possession of which owner and what Zanpakutō they became. -According to Q&A #238, if a Zanpakutō is inherited from a deceased Shinigami (such as the Zanpakutō of Kaname Tōsen and Kenpachi Zaraki), its name and powers will either be overwritten, or it will become an amalgamation of the two Shinigami's natural Zanpakutō. -According to Q&A #495, when a Shinigami retires from the Gotei 13 for any reason, their Zanpakutō is stored for a certain time until it is returned to Ōetsu Nimaiya and reforged into a new Asauchi. -According to Q&A #522, when Ōetsu Nimaiya first invented the Asauchi he had no idea that the Asauchi could evolve depending on the wielder; it is only after this discovery that Ichibē Hyōsube gave these unique forms the names "Shikai" and "Bankai". -According to Q&A #648, when asked about how Hitsugaya could still use Shikai after his Bankai was medalized, yet could not communicate with Hyōrinmaru anymore, Kubo explains that the main difference between Shikai and Bankai is that "Shikai is the state in which the wielder’s power is reflected onto the sword. Bankai is the state in which the ego of the sword that was subsequently born has been developed and manifested." -According to Q&A #675, Quincy and Fullbringers could also imprint upon an Asauchi if given the chance to.
@@Angel_Rod Old account terminated for BS reasons. Took me awhile to decide if I wanted to risk creating a new one. I did watch all of the videos still, I just couldn't comment or like them unfortunately.
@@Angel_Rod also notice that Zaraki is casually fighting Retsu's bankai with his SEALED zampakuto, not even a shikai.. this says a LOT about their difference in power....
I never noticed before, but he kept calling Renji "Renji-chan". That's definitely him throwing shade, lol. If he had called him Renji-kun it would have shown the difference in their age and status. But he was basically calling Renji a little girl, lol.

Yeah, I feel the same, and the music is gorgeous
Imagine the ramifications if he does the next arc tho.
For me it's when Tenjiro told her she shouldn't be focusing on healing at the moment, after that her whole demeanor changed.
Sometimes i want unohana fights with young soul reaper like she's doing in past but it's disrespect for her coz she really wanna die by zaraki hands😢
16:14 ichigo got fired and now renji has to carry soul society 😂

Haha. And also before bankai that she said "playtime is over"

I always just viewed it as she was in a dazed state almost, bored out of her mind because no one to fight with
Imagine a person only ate chips all day, every day, and tossed the bags without a care in world, you wouldn't expect that person to notice a bag of chips piled up. everywhere right beside them would you?
She killed zaraki about 1000 times before she finally kicked the bucket
😭😭😭😭 this happens to be one of the saddest battle in bleach 😢
You gotta let it sink in that Kenpachi was going 1v1 with and eventually overpowered Unohana’s Bankai with a standard zanpakuto.
The TYBW arc in Bleach has been absolute amazing so far, and your reactions have just about mirrored my own.
I'm BACK!

I think there was a point or two in here I wasn’t aware of, main the last point I think.
Bros copying comments
😂 the look on your face on her saying the thing! DAMN earned a sub for it.
"thats crazy, renji catching a dub?" LMAO
Love how fast you upload
Everytime i see her bankai i always think of lady maria from Bloodborne
Unohana purposely surrendered in the end because she already accomplished her mission.
12:03 aye man we can’t forget thickums that’s cooks 😂😂😂
Yeah Ichigo is lucky that Kenpachi unknowingly nerfed himself in the soul society arc. All Ichigo had to do was match Kenpachi's intensity
every time i see minazuki i always think of Malenia from Elden Ring
Beginning of the episode: "Yes it's her time"
at 5:18......"Of the month"
Have to build my HG Dynames at some point too XD
Cant wait to see Kenpachi bankai in in cour 4 probably
Zangetsu broke because Ichigo never said "Hi" after getting him back in the Fullbring arc! So rude, honestly.
Aaaaahh Unohana 😢😢😢😢 Aaaaah
I never noticed before, but he kept calling Renji "Renji-chan". That's definitely him throwing shade, lol. If he had called him Renji-kun it would have shown the difference in their age and status. But he was basically calling Renji a little girl, lol.
Fun fact: they are fighting where Aizen is imprisoned
I feel like Unohana was holding back something in this fight.
Gins bankai - men every morning
Unihans bankai - women every month
AYO
it goat time
About kenpachi's bankai its gonna be in cour 3 if done right its fckin insanity
probably cour 4 ngl
Cour 4 most likely.
@@hanshw now that you say that yeah probably cour 4
Yeah thinking the last one with the seeing Tosihro’s true Bankai
You just wait for episode 20, my Boi!
You'll see his shikai in it 🪚😈
SPOILER FOR ANIME ONLYS
The section from 10:26 onwards is really funny considering the reveal in Wahrwelt
It's funny how the description immediately made him think Yachiru.
For real! Idk how to comment my surprise without spoiling it lol
tite kubo smoked a strong one to make zaraki child stronger than unohona ZZZzZZzZzZ
Peak
letsgooooooooooo
Bro, you have been spoiled about your cosplay? You have been using before the character appeared. 😢😮
Frow what I understood he only saw an image of Ichibe and dressed as him, but he hasn't been spoiled about the story or the character itself
First🎉
🍪 happy now??
these idiotic "first" comments 🙄 especially if stream and patron saw it and were there waaaay before 🤦🏻
