Gin mentions that his sword momentarily turns to dust while changing shape. I think it's a little poetic that this secret property of the sword is very similar to Rangiku's shikai, where her sword turns to ash (also a type of dust), but very overtly.
Gin's final moments will always be heartwrenching especially his final apology. To think he had Aizen only to force an evolution that made him immortal. Still, at least he tried even if such a thing can only get you so far when dealing with OP gods who seemingly have a counter for everything.
It's very bittersweet. We find out he's not evil (well, not an Aizen pawn at least lol) and was doing it all to avenge his only friend. I'd have loved a love story with Gin and Rangiku
@@bwestacado9643I think it was a love story and a very good 1 cuz women can make men do crazy crazy things I kno from experience lol those tears from rangeku was more than jus a friend tears kno what I mean
@@relicdad88 I don't disagree, but we didn't see it. We saw tears and him deciding to kill Aizen, but we didn't get to wallflower any conversations, dates or hangouts and that is what I mean. I'd have loved to see the romance between them blossom and grow instead of just the aftermath and final moments
I still like the sure story writing of how Gin used the fight with Ichigo to activate his bankai and keep it engaged so Aizen wouldn't know to use it on him later.
his death was sad because in us trying to get if he was evil or a triple agent it turned out he just loved his friend and wanted to restore the part of the soul that was stolen
While it may seem like a random connection, Gin's and Rangiku's zanpakuto do take on the form of ash, which also has a strange connection to Harribel's poem. She was the Third Espada, last to be cut down from her group. Gin was the Squad 3 captain, the last to be cut down at all from Aizen. Her poem speaks of 'ash floating in a sea of blood' to be the world. It may seem to be a stretch, but perhaps her poem also was subtly referring to Gin as the unjust sacrifice in a unjust world- much like herself.
I always loved how deceptive Gin was with his bankai's true ability. Shinji could learn a thing or two about shutting up and not revealing his bankai's weakness too early.
Gin is such a great character. From the moment you see him it's "wow, I hate this guy" and everytime after you are reminded of how much you hate him (hate as an antagonist, that is) until the last moment when the rug is pulled out from under you.
one of the most underrated Bankai in the series imo. I hardly ever see it mentioned in T10 lists, but I think it's insanely powerful. he straight up killed Aizen if it wasn't for the Deus Ex Machina sphere
Yep he is one of the best, he was child and still had more insight and knew what it would take to kill Aizen. Must have been real funny for him to train as a shinigami and see all those people around him not having a clue about Aizen. All those captains thinking they're the sht, what a joke.The captain commander sure was top tier but Gin knew it wasn't enough. He literally made him bite the dust, it was so poetic.
I think what is more terrifying about it is that he should be able to expand his Bankai shards at will as well. I personally don't think his Zanpakto was poisoned at all as it would defeat the purpose of his efforts of getting so close to Aizen.
I always loved Gin's story once it was fully fleshed out. Poor dude was just trying to get back what was taken from the girl he loved but paid the ultimate price and still wasn't able. I hope if Kubo continues Bleach with the Hell Arc that Gin is able to see Rangiku one last time so they can say their peace with each other.
Probably not, because to a captain be sent to hell is necessary a specific ritual that was used in the one shot of breaths from hell and It was stated that due to gin's actions he couldn't have a proper captain burial inside of sereitei.
Also Aizen's Kyaka Suigetsu weakness was highlighted earlier when Head Captain Yamamoto tricked Aizen into impaling him so he could grab him. Yama even states that because the blade is imbedded in his body, he knows it is the real Aizen and not an illusion.(similar to how Tosen's Zanpakto weakness works)
It was because of Yamamoto’s sheer Reatsu that he knows it was real and not an illusion when he was stabbed. Yamamoto’s Reatsu could identify what was real and what was not. He hold on to Aizen to kill him point blank and so that Aizen could not escape. It’s true that Kyoka Suigetsu’s weakness was first explained during the Gin scene that anyone in contact with the Zanpakuto are not affected. Also anyone who had not seen his Shikai release are also not affected like Ichigo.
It has three weaknesses. One is hyper situational. First one is what you just mentioned. Second is when Gin tries to kill Azien. He revealed he knows if you can touch his blade you won’t be effected by complete hypnosis. 3rd is What Ichigo said after their presumed victory over YHWACH is that he could feel something off when he entered the battlefield when he showed up to help SS fight him and again felt the same sensation when he returned to soul society for the final battle. Implying those who are not under its influence can tell when it’s activated and effecting others. This is why this weakness is hyper situational cause the moment Azien activates it all that see the release are forever effected by it. Azien even comments he had no clue that not showing Ichigo his release would pay off the way it did.
@@hankocpharung1383 that's not how either Yamamoto or Gin explain that. It is contact with the zanpakto(physically) which also explains why each time someone is cut/stabbed with KS it then shows where Aizen is.
I love how clever he is with his bankai. Like every major thing he does; display of its length to force the focus onto the range, straight up lying about how fast it is just to mess with ichigo, using rhe fight wirh ichigo to activate it and keep it activated without aizen knowing it is, uses his baggy cloths to hide him aiming his blade, revealing what his bankai actually does. Gin was playing 4d chess.... unfortunately Aizen was a living cheat code at that point
The story needed At Least a singular thematic snake parallel and HONESTLY… With the number of predictable abrahamic monotheistic “snake from the garden who’s whichever named devil/demon/etc.” Twists that EVERY westerner Knows is the MOST likely Snake Themed narrative subtle implications or even heavily implied character parallels, which; With Gín, appear so On the Nose that the subversion of BadGuy Devil Snake to Just a snake theme in name that Really is more like a snake that’s part of his own Potentially Unexplored with answers DESIRE to return the pieces of the first girl that is either loved as a little sister or an adoptive stepsister which kinda loves him instinctively though None of these feelings for eachother CAN even be explored beyond their Surface level interpretations and vague wonderings… I LOVE that we Know Rángíkū loves him at least as an elder family/lover/protector who helped when she Least expected before ABANDONING her for reasons she couldn’t be told… and BOOM it was all a Hundred year long childhood mission to reclaim the stolen pieces of her soul and return them SOMEHOW… Which MAYBE if he’d paid closer attention to Aîzèn’s dialogue about Ôrīhímé then he Could have told her to try Returning the missing piece of her soul which had been stolen by Aîzèn because it’d be a good test for if he could recreate additional copies of these pieces of the Réīô (with whichever power-hungry Àrráncár there as a decent distraction that wants all of them to Ascend to levels they Suspect Èspádâ Shíī/Yôn may be beyond them in mastery of the Shinigami powers in a more well rounded way akin to powers like Bánkaî… though he thinks Aîzèn doesn’t know somehow… ) But having our dearest of flower hair ornament rejectors of reality in direction of her own views of a better reality to Réīô Levels always felt like the ONE way the girl COULD MAYBE get her Bánkaî if she KNEW she was missing a crucial chunk of her soul and saved by Gín at least in the aftermath… I forget how much of it he ever even gets the chance to explain to her about how he’s sorry he couldn’t accomplish his soul-child’s goal of revenge… Though he could’ve killed those dude Before they gave it to Aîzèn maybe and then returned to her… but I wonder how well they’d know anything besides just the instincts and whatever happened when he got a cloak and Ásàūchí… but I wonder how easily kid Gín takes these lowtear Aîzèn subordinates?! And ALSO, if he were smarter and had had more conversations with Kísūké about the best means of eliminating Aîzèn ahead of time THEN maybe it could’ve gone differently but I guess he needed to have such a Shocking twist of Deep Cover 100 year operation just to return a nice girl the part of her soul that had been robbed from her…. Does ANYONE think Hítsūgáyà would be captain before Rángíkū if she WASNT missing a piece of Réīô where the power of PART of the hōgïôkū taken is the Bit that completes her Powers so that she’s functionally the difference between an Extra Disabled Lieutenant+ level where they simply NEVER seem to have a Bánkaî… and this feels like something Maybe Ínôūé could Easily fix if she was told in detail by someone like EVEN a Gín living in Hell WHICH could be an Amazing way to have a character return in a new mysterious way where his Real Goal is to get Kázūí to somehow use his own or his mum’s powers to Reject Reality where these things transpired… I think Maybe Tsūkīshímà is the furthest the powers used might be pushed to really reveal how a LOT of Problems that 12th Division & Kísūké could Attempt would still be inadequate in comparison… but I do wonder if that wouldn’t remove SOME of Aîzèn’s powers from the final battle, though if it’s all After that battle, then Why Not?! It is funny how so many times I’ve thought how sharing Réīátsū between the right characters at the right moments COULD cause massive sudden growths in characters’ capabilities in general… But Maybe he’s a Proper Devilish Deciever Snake Now that he’s in Hell? or he just feels duty to be a better servant Now and to never be shocked by these Humans who outdo professionals then whine about their schedule in the world of the living… which Must feel laughable! But dude could’ve made a multi Kídō based trap that reacts to Aîzèn whilst he’s leaving MORE than One bit of his blade to poison him where maybe he could also cut open his skull and poison it WITHOUT explaining it to Aîzèn? & then travel to knocked out Rángíkū with it BUT then we kinda NEED some Sántèn Kèsshūn to at least reject the Déīô pieces Back into what they were meant to be and have them Added to Rángíkū which MAYBE rejecting Her without all her pieces taken could force them to reconstitute from whatever Aîzèn may possess… But poinsoned Multiple times whilst Kísūké stuff get Aîzèn concerned and maybe the hōgïôkū turning back would also remove stuff or whatever… I mean the Tsūkīshímà idea feels like they could just rewrite Rángíkū to’ve regenerated her stolen powers normally so that she finally has her REAL powers which… I imagine will be MORE than just More Ash… more arse, sure, but simply more Ash for Haînèkō feels as dull as expecting Gín to simply have extend-a-sword speed & length boost as his SUPPOSED Bánkaî powers…. The god killing theme is too delicious, though I wonder how this MIGHT shift in Hell…. But I also wonder if Tsūkīshímà couldn’t also bring people back to life if he cut people in hell to rewrite their past whichever ways so that they’d not be dead but also still have mastery over their time in the path of hell… but that might be a bit much… Just KINDA Wondering what Rángíkū in the war looks like with Bánkaî hollowfication, better understanding of Gín & perhaps something related to snake theming or whatever Fullbring related stuff Especially if they tell her about fullbring powers from the Réīô off panel & how whichever powerful Èspádà & Licht Reich have elements that made them incomparably superior to the ordinary powers they’d have without whichever piece of the Réīô… Maybe a Hítsūgáyà-busy/disabled temporarily to FORCE her to be Acting Captain? Which wouldn’t be a worry cause no one knows she’s become Different after hanging with Rūkíà & Ôrīhímé & them making her have Tsūkīshímà force her to regain her Original powers… Imagine if she powered up so substantially cause of it all and hade her powers evolve a bit… it feels reasonable for PostTYBW Ôrīhímé to be capable even if we need Tsūkīshímà using book of the end to rewrite her past… but whether this effects Aîzèn is the only big question up in the air… What do anyone that read this think?! Yay or Nay?! Is this worth exploring with maybe Gín from hell and whichever other characters or should they all be completely warped by their Damnation despite it being shinto-buddhist hell?
@@cerograv man just said the same about other characters but it Really would’ve been nice to have a dramatic Gín Bánkaî usage where he’s allowed to succeed in some way… But I wonder now hearing whatever I speculated last time, MAYBE Aîzèn walking around outside Before he says “welcome to MY Soul Society!” Could be a Cool as hell time for him to walk up to rángíkū & say “you know Gín’s powers… the way they surpassed what he told all of us & spent his whole life just trying to get you back a piece of your soul… I at least owe you something from what your powers in combination with my own & urahara’s earlier experiments when all mixed together… I mean at least Use your bloody Bánkaî!
Gin was my favorite character in Bleach. Love his story, and his personality. Actually made a DnD character after him, a Trickster Cleric. Had my party believing I was a Wizard for most of the campaign. And actually it was my wife's character that was the only one I confided in. Fun times.
I'd point out that this is just one of several instances where the 'Higher Rietsu cancels out all hax' statement is shown to be completely unfounded. Gin is able to injure and nearly kill Aizen despite Aizen reaching a level where his mere presence erases other beings, he is clearly far above Gin and it is only the Hogyoku allowing him to reform that prevents Aizen from being killed by Gin.
That's covered by it being established that Aizen wasn't defending himself (and we know passive reiatsu is astronomically weaker than honed reiatsu) and by Aizen implying later that he was supressing his power. Hence why Ichigo's friends could sense Aizen when previously not even Isshin could sense him. In a head-on fight, Gin would have been erased with 0 effort on Aizen's part
@@corruptangel6793 that's not really the case since significant difference according to how Kubo presented it is SUPPOSED to passively negate it. The point being, that 'rule' only matters unless the plot needs it not to(which is nearly every single fight IN Bleach)
Higher reiastu negating all hacks became forgotten as the story continued on. So it’s just a writing error. Imo removing that statement from the existence would make Bleachverse, way better.
@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 Zaraki blocking Ichigo's sword is the only We've seen someone negate another's power passively, and that was because Ichigo was so intimidated that he wasn't effectively honing his own power. We see this effect all the time, but only when someone is actively defending themselves
@@corruptangel6793 no, we've seen Yamamoto do the same thing passively to Overkill(though even there, some damage and scuffs occur. Also think about the context of what you just said, Kenpachi's higher rietsu was cut through simply by Ichigo sharpening his own. Similarly we've seen throughout the series passive or not, higher Rietsu does not actually instantly negate hax or damage. The ONLY time that supposedly actually happens completely is the illusion of Aizen telling Soi Fon why her two strike ability didn't work.(which was a lie because it's not even the real Aizen talking to her, but a KS illusion) Yamamoto actively defending himself from Wunderweiss still gets injured despite Aizen himself admitting Yama was stronger than him at that point. We have Kaien being beaten by a hollow with just a gimmick hax, we get Rukia being wounded by a low level base Hollow, we get Yumichika being put in the hospital by FIREWORKS. No, the 'All battles are down to higher spirit pressure' line is absolute BS. Kubo introduced it and literally contradicted it in the same chapter. The entirety of Bleach is about weaker characters challenging and often beating much stronger ones.
Gin is my favorite character in fiction. and has been since 2011. This is a really solid video explaining his story/abilities. The only thing I think is off is Gin isn’t the only one who figured out Aizen’s Zanpakutō. Head captain Yamamoto figured it out when he got pierced at the end of their dual. Now he is the only one that showed up to the battle knowing what his power was if that’s what you meant.
He was one of my favourite characters during the fake Karakura town arc. He was so mysterious and I was wondering why he never also did any holification upgrades to himself like his comrades. Holofied Gine would be terrifying to see.
Hollowfication required the use of the Hogyoku. Aizen fed a part of Rangiku's soul to the Hogyoku. I'd like to think Gin wouldn't wanna use it because he loved Rangiku.
I found it funny when i chalenge aizen fanboy by bringing gin case, and they said "aizen kill him bc gin betray him" eventhough aizen know from the Beginning that gin's goal is to kill him 😂
@@AG-en5y Aizen has always been someone who admires courage and resilience in the face of circumstances; which is why both Tosen and Gin are important to his character. Gin had the guts to pull this trick at such a time like this, when Aizen was considered seemingly near-transcendent. He was curious to see how Gin was going to carry out his revenge, and he likes him for trying. Aizen isn't utterly emotionless as people claim. He slashed Gin that hard out of bitterness, because Gin cast aside everything about Aizen so quickly for revenge, whereas Aizen actually did admire Gin somewhat and respected his resolve in trying at all.
Gin is and will always remain my top favorite hands down, let aside the fact that peeps in high school kept commenting that I looked almost just like him at the time. lol
Do you remember moment when Caja de Negacion light were about to envelope Gin, Aizen and Tosen. Aizen was caught by Yoruichi and soi fon. Out of both, Yoruichi actually caught Aizen's Zanpakuto. Although Yoruichi didn't knew that is the weakness of Aizen's shikai. But Aizen was not in a situation to be able to use his Kyokasuigetsu. Atleast not on Yoruichi.
The way Gin was able to handle Itchigo in his hollow Mask with ease and his general skill makes him a good contender for one of the strongest captainsin Bleach. Would have loved to see him face off against more characters in the series.
Great video but: Gin actually redacts his previous statement of having the longest zanpakuto;l, and Aizen actually states he made the Hogyoku before Urahara.
I don't remember about who made the first hogyoku but I thought Aizen "fed" his hogyoku with the one made by Urahara. So it makes sense that he was the first one as you say.
Basically Shinso/Kamishini no Yari share the same trait as Komamura's Tenken where when it get damaged or destroyed in Bankai state it remain intact. Tenken recover itself when Komamura himself recover while Kamishini no Yari can restore itself by when the true power of a cell destroy poison is activated.
Gin was my absolute favorite bleach character even before the plot twist, even when I thought he was the bad guy I rooted for him. When he died I dropped bleach and never picked it up again.
Shinigami can't be sent to hell without the ritual, as far as we know; the "purification ceremony" where two hollows are captured and killed in front of the dead. (Only the veterans knew about this. All the "younger" shinigami, Rukia, Renji, Kira, Nanao, Rangiku, Hitsugaya, etc. they had no idea.) Spoiler>/spoiler> The shinigami confirmed to have gone to hell are Yamamoto, Unohana and Ukitake. I've been wondering whether they'd still go, without ritual, and whether any of the old gotei captains are there. I'd assume they're all dead, since it would've been impossible for the Gotei to change with them around. Yamamoto and Unohana might've been the only reformed criminals out of that bunch. Spoiler>/spoiler>
I remember in Naruto Shippuden, Tsunade have last moment to her dead bf before the edo sensei release, i thought in the anime, gin will be resurrected as zombie and have chance to meet rangiku one last time
It was kinda OP. As it seemed the only way that Aizen even survived was the Hogyoku made him immortal and just “evolved” every time he was about to die.
@@User5hdbh to be fair Ichigo speculates that the Hogyoku granted Aizen secret wish to be “just a normal Shinigama” and stopped granting him powers albeit he was still immortal.
@@redlox2 it just ichigo speculation dude, he always get confused by his own power, even shinji notice that. And tbh from reseaching bleach manga, klub outside, i want to say that ichigo not talking about aizen, he is talking about old man zangetsu.
@@redlox2 i wouldn't say aizen is immortal, i would say aizen have a very strong regeneration. Bc yhwach said it takes to much time to kill you, he didn't say "it is imposible to kill you."
@@User5hdbhIt isn't speculation. Ichigo has demostrated to have the latent ability to see into the hearts of the people he fights. He quite literally understands his opponent when trading blows and, when he fought Aizen, he felt loneliness and a desire to be normal, which fits the character of Aizen imo. Shinji revealed that Aizen was special since the moment he was born. His spiritual pressure and intelligence were far above everyone else in Soul Society, besides Urahara, who he hated due to his radically different philosophy.
to be honest, i didn't like dust sword gimmick. The initial release and slicing apart of the all the buildings was so cool. I wish they stay with that, with gin making huge swing slicing apart the sky and earth. Then when ichigo go in to counter the reach, gin just grab his sword with bare hand using little effort. Since if you think about it, the longer the sword the less mechanical advantage gin will have. The fact he can still slice apart building even with significant less mechanical advantage meant he has insane strength to begin with. So it's invisible trump card that's hiding in plain sight. It's there the whole time, people just doesn't realize it. Making the reveal that much more impactful, a secret power hiding in plain sight. The sword just convert his strength into incredible speed. The dust sword thrust sort of pull a des ex machina feel to it with no build up to it. Hidden power in plain sight is more interesting imho.
Gin Ichimaru "God is Dead" i'm a Snake is The Legendary Hero of Bleach and The Best Captain of Gotei 13. I love Gin and Rangiku's Relationship and how he was with Aizen a whole Life, but then The Moment where he tryed to kill Aizen is 1 of The most Epic Bleach Moments before TYBW. Ichimaru's Bankai Shinsô Kamishini No Yari God Killing Speed with Light Blue is defienitily The most Fastest and Strongest Bankai, and that's why Gin was The most Powerful Soul Society Gotei 13 Squad Captains. RIP Gin Ichimaru The Number One. 😢🩵
Imagine you love s girl so much, you pretend to be the most evil snake so you can gain the trust of a immortal who has a stone that adapts and evolves to fit the need of the user and almost kill him. I would not play poker against Gin.
his zanpakto power is misleading. its true power is revealed when gin admits that he is a snake. it doesnt shoot in the traditional sense, like the command applies. it extends then retracts. it attacks like a snake does. it pierces (bites) the target and leaves a piece inside (the poison/venom).
Gin served no purpose whatsoever, he's a character that if he never existed it would make no difference in the whole story. He achieved nothing, changed nothing. Very good video by the way, love the avatar art!
That's what I love about him. He basically sold his soul for the chance to kill the devil and take back what was stolen from his love, only to fail and die in her arms. He may not have served a significant role in Ichigo's story, but his own story was beautifully tragic.
"May seem relitively harmless compared to other Bankai." Even if you limited it to mach 500, do you have any idea how much destructive power a sword moving at that speed possesses? Striking the ground at that speed once would wipe entire countries off the face of the earth. If he did his rapid-fire attack, he could literally destroy the world. The fact that all that energy is contained within the tip of his blade is horrifying to think about. Forget Karakura Town. If he just aimed downward and didn't hone all that energy, he'd obliterate all of Japan in a single blow. People really don't appreciate the power of speed. Of course, I'm not just referring to fans when saying that.
Gin is hands up my favorite character out of Bleach.....his one-minded goal hidden by his two-faced character is simply out of the ordinary in the animeverse. Also he is the only one who didn't get hit by Aizen's "It was all within my plan" speech.
Gin is the strongest in bleach without any evolution or power boost. Gin's nonchalant approach is what kept others off balance although both Aizen and Ichigo caught on to his plan but weren't successful at stopping Gin. of course the best weapon only had a few moments. Gin activated his most deadly move without uttering a sound, a phrase, a enchantment, or a name when Shinzo stabbed Aizen. If you think about it it was a smaller form of Buto Rengin. how else would he almost cut off his own arm. In the end I think it was a huge mistake of taking Gin out to not be revived or saved.
He's seriously underrated in combat capabilities. Bankai aside, he's a master swordsman and it's shown so early in his fight against Hitsugaya in the Soul Society arc. He straight up uses everything to throw his opponent off, hiding his movements with his clothes, using collaterals such as Hinamori to get into his enemies head and keep their focus away from his true intentions until it's too late. He's got such a simple Shikai but the way he utilises it is nothing short of genius.
I just find it hard to believe he couldn't have found a better time to enact this plan of his. I mean waiting till after aizen had already absorbed the Hogyoku was really shitty timing. But than again now that I think about it I guess his whole point was to get the portion of Rangikus soul that was stolen which means he needed access to the Hogyoku. I think he probably would have been better off, trying to cheap shot him when kisuke and Isshin were fighting Aizen.
I'm really trying to jog my memory but I believe it's heavily implied that aizen was always suspicious of Gin and had his guard up and similarly Gin new Aizen was suspicious which means aizen always would of had his shikai released on Gin aswell so the only time Gin could strike was when he got to touch the blade and he was only able to do that because aizen let his guard down thinking he was invincible
He said it, it was the timing, he didn't have the opportunity. He would've have been suspicious to casually touch Aizen blade mid fight. He needed that once in a lifetime chance which happened not too far later when he acted non chalantly and grabbed his blade mid conversation with Aizen in his back and lowered guard.
@@AC_336 no, it's not as if aizen told Gin and 10 seconds later he was getting impaled. I suspect knew he didn't kill her. You think aizen wouldn't know of the effect that Gin used that could stunt spiritual pressure and give off the appearance of death? Gin got it out of a long time ago probably and was just waiting for that ideal opportunity. He even had a contingency in Ichigo. During the fight with Ichigo he had no intention of doing anything than testing his abilities to make sure that if God forbid he failed Ichigo would pick up the slack or have the strength and resolve to pick up the slack.
@@skeptischism1324 I forgotten when exactly did Gin learn KS's weakness so I probably gotten that fact wrong. But the entire scene with Rangiku and Gin was too deliberate to not have any sort of significance to the events right after that. Why did Aizen have to ask Gin about Rangiku?
@@AC_336 he was essentially seeing if Gin would be honest with him. Aizen knew about Gin and Rangiku growing up together and I'm pretty sure he also suspected that the only reason Gin opted to be his subordinate was some attempt to get back what was taken from her, she had part of the soul King in her I forget I think it was like a fingernail or something like that out of her soul. And I think eisen deliberately told him about KS weakness because that's the type of guy Aizen is, I assumed he would have known that the second Gin found some arbitrary reason to put his hands on KS, that's when the strike would come. You even hear Aizen in the dub version just as Gin touches KS and says that he'll go after the kids, Tatsuke and the rest, Aizen says "GIN" with a sort of " DON'T YOU DARE INFLECTION IN HIS VOICE" when you add it all up he knew he didn't kill Rangiku and probably knew about Gins motives from just about the beginning but he was a prodigy and he was zealous in his goal so Aizen knew he can manipulate him. I mean I think about what happened on the bridge before rukia's execution when he unneeded Lee tormented her. He had to play up the villainous role all the time because Aizen was watching.
I think Gin could kill Yamamoto. He is the perfect assasin. There is a difference between lethality and being powerful. In avatar, someone "weak" with blood bending could kill Fire Lord Ozai if they casually got close to him. Pretend to be a concubine. Lol. Gin, however, also has ridiculous range and speed in his one shot move. He could snipe someone like yamamoto from far away, and if it were to hit, there isn't shit he could do about it. Do i think Gin would beat everyone in a 1 on 1 mortal combat style fight? No. But do i think he could kill anyone. Yes. Except maybe ywatch, ichibe, and Kubo who do not follow the rules of life and death in bleach.
She had a fragment of the Soul King? Does this mean that Rangiku might be related to Ichigo, or that sye had a higher potentiap thatbwas striped from her?
I find it funny how the characters that’s seen as the most sneaky and villainous from the start is actually one of the most loyal character in the whole show right up there with Ichigo, the difference been with Gin he is only loyal to one person that been Rangiku I don’t even think Gin is loyal to himself. Actually thinking about it so meny of the “”good guys”” are sneaky SOBs that are either hiding their true identity or some power or a dark past or at the very least their feelings, one of them four tags can be applied to every single Captain apart from Kenny and even he is hiding something it’s just that not even he knows he is hiding it😂.
If Gin had only try using the Bankai earlier. Also, Mayuri statment about a destroy bankai is BS. Some sort are breakable in a way. And he himself blow up his bankai and then say he can fix it because the hill is intact. Also, the question was pretty obvious answer, Yes, Kamishini No Yari leave a piece.But considering it's a small piece after transformed. It would be logically to assume it recovers with every transformation. The Shikai/Bankai form changes are base on spiritual particles not laws of physics matter logic. Otherwise his sword would become weaker when extended because it needs to distributed the same mass over a beger are. But doesn't. Or Swords like Senbon Sakura wouldn't be able to pull itself together fully when some of the petals are damaged on battle. Or the Bankai, that transform the entire sword, hilt and all, even if you break it. Into a Bankai with clearly more mass than the original sword. Heck even chigo's clothes are a construct of his spiritual particles. Many swords produce something that can be counted as an extra even tho it's part of the sword. Soifon's Jakuho Ralkoben create a misile that is launched and destroyed. The Zanpakuto isn't then missing a piece. If her's can sacrifice a much biger portion. A portion that it's bigger than the original sword when sealed. Why wouldn't Gins sword be able to recover a tiny piece. In the case of Soifon she state she can't fire more than 1 missile every 3 days because it tires her. I'm assuming because it uses spirit particles, hers. So it needs time to "recharge"
I always can spot the bad guy undercover chars. I called Itachi before the creator prob thought of it. I recall playing the Naruto fighting game on the ps2 in 9th grade saying "watch itachi be a good guy" said the same with Gin. He's my fav char
Gin can easily beat half or more of the members of gotei. even Byakuya have no much on him in my opinion.He is one of my most favorite character. imagine him dealing with the Quincy's in TYBW
Gin mentions that his sword momentarily turns to dust while changing shape. I think it's a little poetic that this secret property of the sword is very similar to Rangiku's shikai, where her sword turns to ash (also a type of dust), but very overtly.
yea i loved this one fact about gin showing how similar tyey are
Gin's final moments will always be heartwrenching especially his final apology. To think he had Aizen only to force an evolution that made him immortal. Still, at least he tried even if such a thing can only get you so far when dealing with OP gods who seemingly have a counter for everything.
It's very bittersweet. We find out he's not evil (well, not an Aizen pawn at least lol) and was doing it all to avenge his only friend. I'd have loved a love story with Gin and Rangiku
@@bwestacado9643I think it was a love story and a very good 1 cuz women can make men do crazy crazy things I kno from experience lol those tears from rangeku was more than jus a friend tears kno what I mean
@@relicdad88 I don't disagree, but we didn't see it. We saw tears and him deciding to kill Aizen, but we didn't get to wallflower any conversations, dates or hangouts and that is what I mean. I'd have loved to see the romance between them blossom and grow instead of just the aftermath and final moments
I mean if Gin actually used his technique before Aizen fused with the Hogyoku, he wouldve probably killed Aizen successfully
I cried ill admit. Gin was underrated wish he had more screen time
I still like the sure story writing of how Gin used the fight with Ichigo to activate his bankai and keep it engaged so Aizen wouldn't know to use it on him later.
Brilliant move since his bankai resembles it's other 2 forms
his death was sad because in us trying to get if he was evil or a triple agent it turned out he just loved his friend and wanted to restore the part of the soul that was stolen
While it may seem like a random connection, Gin's and Rangiku's zanpakuto do take on the form of ash, which also has a strange connection to Harribel's poem. She was the Third Espada, last to be cut down from her group. Gin was the Squad 3 captain, the last to be cut down at all from Aizen. Her poem speaks of 'ash floating in a sea of blood' to be the world. It may seem to be a stretch, but perhaps her poem also was subtly referring to Gin as the unjust sacrifice in a unjust world- much like herself.
I always loved how deceptive Gin was with his bankai's true ability. Shinji could learn a thing or two about shutting up and not revealing his bankai's weakness too early.
😂😂😂😂😂🤣True
Shinji wouldn't suffer from explaining his Bankai because you're his ally.
I think you mean Rose
@@corruptangel6793That’s true
@@corruptangel6793 shinji straight up uses his bankai on aizen and tells him what his bankai was doing.
@@georgeDeming shikai. Bankai reverses the sense of friend and foe, and shikai reverses the sense of direction.
Gin is such a great character. From the moment you see him it's "wow, I hate this guy" and everytime after you are reminded of how much you hate him (hate as an antagonist, that is) until the last moment when the rug is pulled out from under you.
one of the most underrated Bankai in the series imo. I hardly ever see it mentioned in T10 lists, but I think it's insanely powerful. he straight up killed Aizen if it wasn't for the Deus Ex Machina sphere
Yep he is one of the best, he was child and still had more insight and knew what it would take to kill Aizen. Must have been real funny for him to train as a shinigami and see all those people around him not having a clue about Aizen. All those captains thinking they're the sht, what a joke.The captain commander sure was top tier but Gin knew it wasn't enough. He literally made him bite the dust, it was so poetic.
I think what is more terrifying about it is that he should be able to expand his Bankai shards at will as well. I personally don't think his Zanpakto was poisoned at all as it would defeat the purpose of his efforts of getting so close to Aizen.
It explains why he’s always smiling. He’s laughing at how foolish all his contemporaries are.
I always loved Gin's story once it was fully fleshed out. Poor dude was just trying to get back what was taken from the girl he loved but paid the ultimate price and still wasn't able. I hope if Kubo continues Bleach with the Hell Arc that Gin is able to see Rangiku one last time so they can say their peace with each other.
Probably not, because to a captain be sent to hell is necessary a specific ritual that was used in the one shot of breaths from hell and It was stated that due to gin's actions he couldn't have a proper captain burial inside of sereitei.
"Should have aimed for the head" thanos, the titan
Also Aizen's Kyaka Suigetsu weakness was highlighted earlier when Head Captain Yamamoto tricked Aizen into impaling him so he could grab him. Yama even states that because the blade is imbedded in his body, he knows it is the real Aizen and not an illusion.(similar to how Tosen's Zanpakto weakness works)
It was because of Yamamoto’s sheer Reatsu that he knows it was real and not an illusion when he was stabbed.
Yamamoto’s Reatsu could identify what was real and what was not. He hold on to Aizen to kill him point blank and so that Aizen could not escape.
It’s true that Kyoka Suigetsu’s weakness was first explained during the Gin scene that anyone in contact with the Zanpakuto are not affected.
Also anyone who had not seen his Shikai release are also not affected like Ichigo.
RIP to the goat Old Man Yama
It has three weaknesses. One is hyper situational. First one is what you just mentioned. Second is when Gin tries to kill Azien. He revealed he knows if you can touch his blade you won’t be effected by complete hypnosis. 3rd is What Ichigo said after their presumed victory over YHWACH is that he could feel something off when he entered the battlefield when he showed up to help SS fight him and again felt the same sensation when he returned to soul society for the final battle. Implying those who are not under its influence can tell when it’s activated and effecting others. This is why this weakness is hyper situational cause the moment Azien activates it all that see the release are forever effected by it. Azien even comments he had no clue that not showing Ichigo his release would pay off the way it did.
@@hankocpharung1383 that's not how either Yamamoto or Gin explain that. It is contact with the zanpakto(physically) which also explains why each time someone is cut/stabbed with KS it then shows where Aizen is.
@@Edmitsu well there is a fourth one too, if you are blind.
I love how clever he is with his bankai. Like every major thing he does; display of its length to force the focus onto the range, straight up lying about how fast it is just to mess with ichigo, using rhe fight wirh ichigo to activate it and keep it activated without aizen knowing it is, uses his baggy cloths to hide him aiming his blade, revealing what his bankai actually does. Gin was playing 4d chess.... unfortunately Aizen was a living cheat code at that point
Ill never get tired of hearing about Gin 🐍
The story needed At Least a singular thematic snake parallel and HONESTLY…
With the number of predictable abrahamic monotheistic “snake from the garden who’s whichever named devil/demon/etc.” Twists that EVERY westerner Knows is the MOST likely Snake Themed narrative subtle implications or even heavily implied character parallels, which; With Gín, appear so On the Nose that the subversion of BadGuy Devil Snake to Just a snake theme in name that Really is more like a snake that’s part of his own Potentially Unexplored with answers DESIRE to return the pieces of the first girl that is either loved as a little sister or an adoptive stepsister which kinda loves him instinctively though None of these feelings for eachother CAN even be explored beyond their Surface level interpretations and vague wonderings…
I LOVE that we Know Rángíkū loves him at least as an elder family/lover/protector who helped when she Least expected before ABANDONING her for reasons she couldn’t be told… and BOOM it was all a Hundred year long childhood mission to reclaim the stolen pieces of her soul and return them SOMEHOW… Which MAYBE if he’d paid closer attention to Aîzèn’s dialogue about Ôrīhímé then he Could have told her to try Returning the missing piece of her soul which had been stolen by Aîzèn because it’d be a good test for if he could recreate additional copies of these pieces of the Réīô (with whichever power-hungry Àrráncár there as a decent distraction that wants all of them to Ascend to levels they Suspect Èspádâ Shíī/Yôn may be beyond them in mastery of the Shinigami powers in a more well rounded way akin to powers like Bánkaî… though he thinks Aîzèn doesn’t know somehow… )
But having our dearest of flower hair ornament rejectors of reality in direction of her own views of a better reality to Réīô Levels always felt like the ONE way the girl COULD MAYBE get her Bánkaî if she KNEW she was missing a crucial chunk of her soul and saved by Gín at least in the aftermath…
I forget how much of it he ever even gets the chance to explain to her about how he’s sorry he couldn’t accomplish his soul-child’s goal of revenge…
Though he could’ve killed those dude Before they gave it to Aîzèn maybe and then returned to her… but I wonder how well they’d know anything besides just the instincts and whatever happened when he got a cloak and Ásàūchí… but I wonder how easily kid Gín takes these lowtear Aîzèn subordinates?!
And ALSO, if he were smarter and had had more conversations with Kísūké about the best means of eliminating Aîzèn ahead of time THEN maybe it could’ve gone differently but I guess he needed to have such a Shocking twist of Deep Cover 100 year operation just to return a nice girl the part of her soul that had been robbed from her….
Does ANYONE think Hítsūgáyà would be captain before Rángíkū if she WASNT missing a piece of Réīô where the power of PART of the hōgïôkū taken is the Bit that completes her Powers so that she’s functionally the difference between an Extra Disabled Lieutenant+ level where they simply NEVER seem to have a Bánkaî… and this feels like something Maybe Ínôūé could Easily fix if she was told in detail by someone like EVEN a Gín living in Hell WHICH could be an Amazing way to have a character return in a new mysterious way where his Real Goal is to get Kázūí to somehow use his own or his mum’s powers to Reject Reality where these things transpired… I think Maybe Tsūkīshímà is the furthest the powers used might be pushed to really reveal how a LOT of Problems that 12th Division & Kísūké could Attempt would still be inadequate in comparison… but I do wonder if that wouldn’t remove SOME of Aîzèn’s powers from the final battle, though if it’s all After that battle, then Why Not?!
It is funny how so many times I’ve thought how sharing Réīátsū between the right characters at the right moments COULD cause massive sudden growths in characters’ capabilities in general…
But Maybe he’s a Proper Devilish Deciever Snake Now that he’s in Hell? or he just feels duty to be a better servant Now and to never be shocked by these Humans who outdo professionals then whine about their schedule in the world of the living… which Must feel laughable!
But dude could’ve made a multi Kídō based trap that reacts to Aîzèn whilst he’s leaving MORE than One bit of his blade to poison him where maybe he could also cut open his skull and poison it WITHOUT explaining it to Aîzèn? & then travel to knocked out Rángíkū with it BUT then we kinda NEED some Sántèn Kèsshūn to at least reject the Déīô pieces Back into what they were meant to be and have them Added to Rángíkū which MAYBE rejecting Her without all her pieces taken could force them to reconstitute from whatever Aîzèn may possess…
But poinsoned Multiple times whilst Kísūké stuff get Aîzèn concerned and maybe the hōgïôkū turning back would also remove stuff or whatever…
I mean the Tsūkīshímà idea feels like they could just rewrite Rángíkū to’ve regenerated her stolen powers normally so that she finally has her REAL powers which… I imagine will be MORE than just More Ash… more arse, sure, but simply more Ash for Haînèkō feels as dull as expecting Gín to simply have extend-a-sword speed & length boost as his SUPPOSED Bánkaî powers….
The god killing theme is too delicious, though I wonder how this MIGHT shift in Hell….
But I also wonder if Tsūkīshímà couldn’t also bring people back to life if he cut people in hell to rewrite their past whichever ways so that they’d not be dead but also still have mastery over their time in the path of hell… but that might be a bit much…
Just KINDA Wondering what Rángíkū in the war looks like with Bánkaî hollowfication, better understanding of Gín & perhaps something related to snake theming or whatever Fullbring related stuff Especially if they tell her about fullbring powers from the Réīô off panel & how whichever powerful Èspádà & Licht Reich have elements that made them incomparably superior to the ordinary powers they’d have without whichever piece of the Réīô…
Maybe a Hítsūgáyà-busy/disabled temporarily to FORCE her to be Acting Captain? Which wouldn’t be a worry cause no one knows she’s become Different after hanging with Rūkíà & Ôrīhímé & them making her have Tsūkīshímà force her to regain her Original powers…
Imagine if she powered up so substantially cause of it all and hade her powers evolve a bit… it feels reasonable for PostTYBW Ôrīhímé to be capable even if we need Tsūkīshímà using book of the end to rewrite her past… but whether this effects Aîzèn is the only big question up in the air…
What do anyone that read this think?! Yay or Nay?! Is this worth exploring with maybe Gín from hell and whichever other characters or should they all be completely warped by their Damnation despite it being shinto-buddhist hell?
I miss hearing "Bankai... KAMISHINI NO YARI" 😢
@@cerograv man just said the same about other characters but it Really would’ve been nice to have a dramatic Gín Bánkaî usage where he’s allowed to succeed in some way…
But I wonder now hearing whatever I speculated last time, MAYBE Aîzèn walking around outside Before he says “welcome to MY Soul Society!” Could be a Cool as hell time for him to walk up to rángíkū & say “you know Gín’s powers… the way they surpassed what he told all of us & spent his whole life just trying to get you back a piece of your soul… I at least owe you something from what your powers in combination with my own & urahara’s earlier experiments when all mixed together… I mean at least Use your bloody Bánkaî!
Gin was my favorite character in Bleach. Love his story, and his personality. Actually made a DnD character after him, a Trickster Cleric. Had my party believing I was a Wizard for most of the campaign. And actually it was my wife's character that was the only one I confided in. Fun times.
I'd point out that this is just one of several instances where the 'Higher Rietsu cancels out all hax' statement is shown to be completely unfounded. Gin is able to injure and nearly kill Aizen despite Aizen reaching a level where his mere presence erases other beings, he is clearly far above Gin and it is only the Hogyoku allowing him to reform that prevents Aizen from being killed by Gin.
That's covered by it being established that Aizen wasn't defending himself (and we know passive reiatsu is astronomically weaker than honed reiatsu) and by Aizen implying later that he was supressing his power. Hence why Ichigo's friends could sense Aizen when previously not even Isshin could sense him.
In a head-on fight, Gin would have been erased with 0 effort on Aizen's part
@@corruptangel6793 that's not really the case since significant difference according to how Kubo presented it is SUPPOSED to passively negate it.
The point being, that 'rule' only matters unless the plot needs it not to(which is nearly every single fight IN Bleach)
Higher reiastu negating all hacks became forgotten as the story continued on. So it’s just a writing error. Imo removing that statement from the existence would make Bleachverse, way better.
@@grandadmiralzaarin4962 Zaraki blocking Ichigo's sword is the only We've seen someone negate another's power passively, and that was because Ichigo was so intimidated that he wasn't effectively honing his own power. We see this effect all the time, but only when someone is actively defending themselves
@@corruptangel6793 no, we've seen Yamamoto do the same thing passively to Overkill(though even there, some damage and scuffs occur. Also think about the context of what you just said, Kenpachi's higher rietsu was cut through simply by Ichigo sharpening his own. Similarly we've seen throughout the series passive or not, higher Rietsu does not actually instantly negate hax or damage. The ONLY time that supposedly actually happens completely is the illusion of Aizen telling Soi Fon why her two strike ability didn't work.(which was a lie because it's not even the real Aizen talking to her, but a KS illusion) Yamamoto actively defending himself from Wunderweiss still gets injured despite Aizen himself admitting Yama was stronger than him at that point. We have Kaien being beaten by a hollow with just a gimmick hax, we get Rukia being wounded by a low level base Hollow, we get Yumichika being put in the hospital by FIREWORKS.
No, the 'All battles are down to higher spirit pressure' line is absolute BS. Kubo introduced it and literally contradicted it in the same chapter. The entirety of Bleach is about weaker characters challenging and often beating much stronger ones.
Gin is my favorite character in fiction. and has been since 2011. This is a really solid video explaining his story/abilities. The only thing I think is off is Gin isn’t the only one who figured out Aizen’s Zanpakutō. Head captain Yamamoto figured it out when he got pierced at the end of their dual. Now he is the only one that showed up to the battle knowing what his power was if that’s what you meant.
He was one of my favourite characters during the fake Karakura town arc. He was so mysterious and I was wondering why he never also did any holification upgrades to himself like his comrades. Holofied Gine would be terrifying to see.
Hollowfication required the use of the Hogyoku. Aizen fed a part of Rangiku's soul to the Hogyoku. I'd like to think Gin wouldn't wanna use it because he loved Rangiku.
I found it funny when i chalenge aizen fanboy by bringing gin case, and they said "aizen kill him bc gin betray him" eventhough aizen know from the Beginning that gin's goal is to kill him 😂
So why did aizen kill gin at that moment?
@@AG-en5y don't ask me ask aizen fanboy lol
@@AG-en5y Aizen has always been someone who admires courage and resilience in the face of circumstances; which is why both Tosen and Gin are important to his character. Gin had the guts to pull this trick at such a time like this, when Aizen was considered seemingly near-transcendent. He was curious to see how Gin was going to carry out his revenge, and he likes him for trying. Aizen isn't utterly emotionless as people claim. He slashed Gin that hard out of bitterness, because Gin cast aside everything about Aizen so quickly for revenge, whereas Aizen actually did admire Gin somewhat and respected his resolve in trying at all.
Aizen fanboys are the worst
This is why my call of duty name has been Gin ichimaru for years now. And im not changing it

Gin is and will always remain my top favorite hands down, let aside the fact that peeps in high school kept commenting that I looked almost just like him at the time. lol
Excellent video. Gin's plot twist had me speechless, this explanation really cleared up a lot
Do you remember moment when Caja de Negacion light were about to envelope Gin, Aizen and Tosen. Aizen was caught by Yoruichi and soi fon. Out of both, Yoruichi actually caught Aizen's Zanpakuto. Although Yoruichi didn't knew that is the weakness of Aizen's shikai. But Aizen was not in a situation to be able to use his Kyokasuigetsu. Atleast not on Yoruichi.
He never got to give Rangiku his extendo bankai 😢
My boy wasn't innocent but died a virgin, sad.
Kubo didn't give respect to gin ichimaru by killing an innocent person 😢
At The End Of A Day He Died Because Of Plot 🗿🗿
The way Gin was able to handle Itchigo in his hollow Mask with ease and his general skill makes him a good contender for one of the strongest captainsin Bleach. Would have loved to see him face off against more characters in the series.
Great video but: Gin actually redacts his previous statement of having the longest zanpakuto;l, and Aizen actually states he made the Hogyoku before Urahara.
I don't remember about who made the first hogyoku but I thought Aizen "fed" his hogyoku with the one made by Urahara. So it makes sense that he was the first one as you say.
@@lylemcdermott2566 Aizen made the first one, he said so in the anime and manga.
One of the saddest death in bleach. Absolutely heartbreaking!
Gin and Rangiku deserved better.
True. Also on or, if not, the biggest plot twists.
After having read the manga a long time ago this is certainly one of the most memorable events.
Literally one of my all time favorite Favorites from the entire Bleach
I really wish they didn't kill him. 😭 I think he was probably the saddest case out of all the goatee 13 but that's just my opinion
GIN HAS ALWAYS BEEN MY BOI!!!!! Hated to see him leave
I thought it was cool that gin and rangiku's zanpakto turn to dust to attack
I am die hard bleach fan, and out of all the characters in bleach Gin is my favorite, cause of his personality, dedication and character depth.
Gin is my favorite character in Bleach.
I hope they bring him back
I wish they'd make a Gin figma. Such a cool character design.
Basically Shinso/Kamishini no Yari share the same trait as Komamura's Tenken where when it get damaged or destroyed in Bankai state it remain intact. Tenken recover itself when Komamura himself recover while Kamishini no Yari can restore itself by when the true power of a cell destroy poison is activated.
The best fox of all time , I love his foxy smile
Gin was my absolute favorite bleach character even before the plot twist, even when I thought he was the bad guy I rooted for him. When he died I dropped bleach and never picked it up again.
A little under looked tactical advantage of his bankai is that you can't tell if it's in shikai or bankai if you didn't hear him release
That Bankai ability is quite OP... As long as can scratch or cut you he may leave a piece of his Zanpakuto in you, no Diddy
Please make something about Jinta and Ururu. They are extremely interesting :)
I would really like to see Gin return in the Hell Verse future issues. Maybe a redemption arc?
Shinigami can't be sent to hell without the ritual, as far as we know; the "purification ceremony" where two hollows are captured and killed in front of the dead.
(Only the veterans knew about this. All the "younger" shinigami, Rukia, Renji, Kira, Nanao, Rangiku, Hitsugaya, etc. they had no idea.)
Spoiler>/spoiler>
The shinigami confirmed to have gone to hell are Yamamoto, Unohana and Ukitake.
I've been wondering whether they'd still go, without ritual, and whether any of the old gotei captains are there. I'd assume they're all dead, since it would've been impossible for the Gotei to change with them around. Yamamoto and Unohana might've been the only reformed criminals out of that bunch.
Spoiler>/spoiler>
Gin and bambietta, two characters who had potential and deserved way better
I wish we got to see more of Kamishini no Yari. It had a lot of potential to be very OP
yeah it would have got a nice showcase in the TYBW if they kept gin around
Gin's Bankai is tge kind of thing Soi Fon wishes she could have. Unfortunately for her, her personality is ill suited for an assassin.😂
It’s really sad he didn’t get to have his revenge 😢
I mean, he did... till hogyoku bull crap
if he's still alive during tybw, he'll be the third strongest captain just under kyoraku and kenpachi, but slightly above toshiro
I hope you make video for what if gin was fighting in thousand year blood war
Gin my goat
I’m in soul society and I’m liking it so far. My favourite characters are ichigo,Aizen,renji and byakuya. Didn’t like gin very much
He much like other characters will grow on you once you get more of their back stories fleshed out over time.
The math on the speed of his bankai is incredible. Loved the character so much because I kind of hated him.
I remember in Naruto Shippuden, Tsunade have last moment to her dead bf before the edo sensei release, i thought in the anime, gin will be resurrected as zombie and have chance to meet rangiku one last time
I wonder if we will see him return in hell arc? 🤔
It was kinda OP. As it seemed the only way that Aizen even survived was the Hogyoku made him immortal and just “evolved” every time he was about to die.
And that "evolve" thing is stop after ichigo use mugetsu.
@@User5hdbh to be fair Ichigo speculates that the Hogyoku granted Aizen secret wish to be “just a normal Shinigama” and stopped granting him powers albeit he was still immortal.
@@redlox2 it just ichigo speculation dude, he always get confused by his own power, even shinji notice that.
And tbh from reseaching bleach manga, klub outside, i want to say that ichigo not talking about aizen, he is talking about old man zangetsu.
@@redlox2 i wouldn't say aizen is immortal, i would say aizen have a very strong regeneration.
Bc yhwach said it takes to much time to kill you, he didn't say "it is imposible to kill you."
@@User5hdbhIt isn't speculation. Ichigo has demostrated to have the latent ability to see into the hearts of the people he fights.
He quite literally understands his opponent when trading blows and, when he fought Aizen, he felt loneliness and a desire to be normal, which fits the character of Aizen imo.
Shinji revealed that Aizen was special since the moment he was born. His spiritual pressure and intelligence were far above everyone else in Soul Society, besides Urahara, who he hated due to his radically different philosophy.
What about that annoy chick Sui-Feng? Her bankai is nothing like her shikai
Actually, Aizen came to the conclusion that is the Hogyoku long before Urahara, but it was incomplete.
What if gin is still alive? And mayuri kurotsuchi is keeping him in secret? Just a thought😂
Just wonder they also performed the ritual to send to hell ? Maybe we can see him again
to be honest, i didn't like dust sword gimmick. The initial release and slicing apart of the all the buildings was so cool. I wish they stay with that, with gin making huge swing slicing apart the sky and earth. Then when ichigo go in to counter the reach, gin just grab his sword with bare hand using little effort.
Since if you think about it, the longer the sword the less mechanical advantage gin will have. The fact he can still slice apart building even with significant less mechanical advantage meant he has insane strength to begin with. So it's invisible trump card that's hiding in plain sight. It's there the whole time, people just doesn't realize it. Making the reveal that much more impactful, a secret power hiding in plain sight. The sword just convert his strength into incredible speed.
The dust sword thrust sort of pull a des ex machina feel to it with no build up to it. Hidden power in plain sight is more interesting imho.
Yep
We already knew all of this
Gin Ichimaru "God is Dead" i'm a Snake is The Legendary Hero of Bleach and The Best Captain of Gotei 13. I love Gin and Rangiku's Relationship and how he was with Aizen a whole Life, but then The Moment where he tryed to kill Aizen is 1 of The most Epic Bleach Moments before TYBW. Ichimaru's Bankai Shinsô Kamishini No Yari God Killing Speed with Light Blue is defienitily The most Fastest and Strongest Bankai, and that's why Gin was The most Powerful Soul Society Gotei 13 Squad Captains. RIP Gin Ichimaru The Number One. 😢🩵
It’s definitely strong but it is 100s of lights years away in terms of power to Zanka no Tachi
@@BrothaMan831 ooh that's really interesting wow! :O
Imagine you love s girl so much, you pretend to be the most evil snake so you can gain the trust of a immortal who has a stone that adapts and evolves to fit the need of the user and almost kill him.
I would not play poker against Gin.
He should left to soul society, went straight to Division Zero
Gin is Uruchimaro in naruto
Wasn't too deep in the lore, so I didn't know Gin was intent on killing Aizen from the start. His weapon even reflects that intent.
his zanpakto power is misleading. its true power is revealed when gin admits that he is a snake.
it doesnt shoot in the traditional sense, like the command applies.
it extends then retracts.
it attacks like a snake does.
it pierces (bites) the target and leaves a piece inside (the poison/venom).
Tight Kubo?
I think Gin helped Ichigo and motivated him to get stronger to kill Aizen
Gin will be in hell arc
Too bad. Gin was not able to pierce Rangiku and leave some poison inside her.
Ichigo doesn't have a shiki does he?
Best charqcter
2:51 4, not 3.
Bro I literally never wanted him to die kmft I’m so upset!!!! Kmft
Get rekt, Shinso! Mm.
I HATED this man until the moment he stabbed Aizen and they did the flashback. Perfect tragic character.
That one scene and dialogue on that bridge where he says to Rukia that if she asked him he would save her will always be remembered. He was devious.
Back to 2010
don't think we can trust anything gin says about his sword. He let us know that he lied about his sword properties.
dont worry im 80% sure he will be in hell arc alot stronger
😅😂 Filipinos laughing at buto......
Gin served no purpose whatsoever, he's a character that if he never existed it would make no difference in the whole story. He achieved nothing, changed nothing.
Very good video by the way, love the avatar art!
That's what I love about him. He basically sold his soul for the chance to kill the devil and take back what was stolen from his love, only to fail and die in her arms.
He may not have served a significant role in Ichigo's story, but his own story was beautifully tragic.
@@corruptangel6793 I like your perspective
hey hey, hold your horses now. Who would have hosted the arrancar encyclopedia ? Dude was VERY important. 😉
Did mans say "Tight Kubo"? You can't be making Bleach videos and not be able to pronounce the creators name. Do some homework
Actually why don't you look up how to actually say his name. Tittay kubo lol
im 3rd haha
and 1st also
"May seem relitively harmless compared to other Bankai."
Even if you limited it to mach 500, do you have any idea how much destructive power a sword moving at that speed possesses? Striking the ground at that speed once would wipe entire countries off the face of the earth. If he did his rapid-fire attack, he could literally destroy the world.
The fact that all that energy is contained within the tip of his blade is horrifying to think about. Forget Karakura Town. If he just aimed downward and didn't hone all that energy, he'd obliterate all of Japan in a single blow.
People really don't appreciate the power of speed. Of course, I'm not just referring to fans when saying that.
Gin is hands up my favorite character out of Bleach.....his one-minded goal hidden by his two-faced character is simply out of the ordinary in the animeverse. Also he is the only one who didn't get hit by Aizen's "It was all within my plan" speech.
Gin is the strongest in bleach without any evolution or power boost. Gin's nonchalant approach is what kept others off balance although both Aizen and Ichigo caught on to his plan but weren't successful at stopping Gin. of course the best weapon only had a few moments. Gin activated his most deadly move without uttering a sound, a phrase, a enchantment, or a name when Shinzo stabbed Aizen. If you think about it it was a smaller form of Buto Rengin. how else would he almost cut off his own arm. In the end I think it was a huge mistake of taking Gin out to not be revived or saved.
i agree, him and his bankai would have been good in the TYBW
He's seriously underrated in combat capabilities. Bankai aside, he's a master swordsman and it's shown so early in his fight against Hitsugaya in the Soul Society arc. He straight up uses everything to throw his opponent off, hiding his movements with his clothes, using collaterals such as Hinamori to get into his enemies head and keep their focus away from his true intentions until it's too late. He's got such a simple Shikai but the way he utilises it is nothing short of genius.
Gin is an incredibly fascinating character
This can't be the real Dbzimran, he posted his last video on the first.
It was April fools day
I just find it hard to believe he couldn't have found a better time to enact this plan of his. I mean waiting till after aizen had already absorbed the Hogyoku was really shitty timing. But than again now that I think about it I guess his whole point was to get the portion of Rangikus soul that was stolen which means he needed access to the Hogyoku. I think he probably would have been better off, trying to cheap shot him when kisuke and Isshin were fighting Aizen.
I'm really trying to jog my memory but I believe it's heavily implied that aizen was always suspicious of Gin and had his guard up and similarly Gin new Aizen was suspicious which means aizen always would of had his shikai released on Gin aswell so the only time Gin could strike was when he got to touch the blade and he was only able to do that because aizen let his guard down thinking he was invincible
He said it, it was the timing, he didn't have the opportunity. He would've have been suspicious to casually touch Aizen blade mid fight. He needed that once in a lifetime chance which happened not too far later when he acted non chalantly and grabbed his blade mid conversation with Aizen in his back and lowered guard.
@@AC_336 no, it's not as if aizen told Gin and 10 seconds later he was getting impaled. I suspect knew he didn't kill her. You think aizen wouldn't know of the effect that Gin used that could stunt spiritual pressure and give off the appearance of death? Gin got it out of a long time ago probably and was just waiting for that ideal opportunity. He even had a contingency in Ichigo. During the fight with Ichigo he had no intention of doing anything than testing his abilities to make sure that if God forbid he failed Ichigo would pick up the slack or have the strength and resolve to pick up the slack.
@@skeptischism1324 I forgotten when exactly did Gin learn KS's weakness so I probably gotten that fact wrong. But the entire scene with Rangiku and Gin was too deliberate to not have any sort of significance to the events right after that. Why did Aizen have to ask Gin about Rangiku?
@@AC_336 he was essentially seeing if Gin would be honest with him. Aizen knew about Gin and Rangiku growing up together and I'm pretty sure he also suspected that the only reason Gin opted to be his subordinate was some attempt to get back what was taken from her, she had part of the soul King in her I forget I think it was like a fingernail or something like that out of her soul. And I think eisen deliberately told him about KS weakness because that's the type of guy Aizen is, I assumed he would have known that the second Gin found some arbitrary reason to put his hands on KS, that's when the strike would come. You even hear Aizen in the dub version just as Gin touches KS and says that he'll go after the kids, Tatsuke and the rest, Aizen says "GIN" with a sort of " DON'T YOU DARE INFLECTION IN HIS VOICE" when you add it all up he knew he didn't kill Rangiku and probably knew about Gins motives from just about the beginning but he was a prodigy and he was zealous in his goal so Aizen knew he can manipulate him. I mean I think about what happened on the bridge before rukia's execution when he unneeded Lee tormented her. He had to play up the villainous role all the time because Aizen was watching.
Weird they didn't notice Gin's presence nearby
I think Gin could kill Yamamoto. He is the perfect assasin. There is a difference between lethality and being powerful. In avatar, someone "weak" with blood bending could kill Fire Lord Ozai if they casually got close to him. Pretend to be a concubine. Lol. Gin, however, also has ridiculous range and speed in his one shot move. He could snipe someone like yamamoto from far away, and if it were to hit, there isn't shit he could do about it.
Do i think Gin would beat everyone in a 1 on 1 mortal combat style fight? No. But do i think he could kill anyone. Yes. Except maybe ywatch, ichibe, and Kubo who do not follow the rules of life and death in bleach.
She had a fragment of the Soul King? Does this mean that Rangiku might be related to Ichigo, or that sye had a higher potentiap thatbwas striped from her?
I find it funny how the characters that’s seen as the most sneaky and villainous from the start is actually one of the most loyal character in the whole show right up there with Ichigo, the difference been with Gin he is only loyal to one person that been Rangiku I don’t even think Gin is loyal to himself.
Actually thinking about it so meny of the “”good guys”” are sneaky SOBs that are either hiding their true identity or some power or a dark past or at the very least their feelings, one of them four tags can be applied to every single Captain apart from Kenny and even he is hiding something it’s just that not even he knows he is hiding it😂.
If Gin had only try using the Bankai earlier. Also, Mayuri statment about a destroy bankai is BS. Some sort are breakable in a way. And he himself blow up his bankai and then say he can fix it because the hill is intact. Also, the question was pretty obvious answer, Yes, Kamishini No Yari leave a piece.But considering it's a small piece after transformed. It would be logically to assume it recovers with every transformation. The Shikai/Bankai form changes are base on spiritual particles not laws of physics matter logic. Otherwise his sword would become weaker when extended because it needs to distributed the same mass over a beger are. But doesn't. Or Swords like Senbon Sakura wouldn't be able to pull itself together fully when some of the petals are damaged on battle. Or the Bankai, that transform the entire sword, hilt and all, even if you break it. Into a Bankai with clearly more mass than the original sword. Heck even chigo's clothes are a construct of his spiritual particles. Many swords produce something that can be counted as an extra even tho it's part of the sword. Soifon's Jakuho Ralkoben create a misile that is launched and destroyed. The Zanpakuto isn't then missing a piece. If her's can sacrifice a much biger portion. A portion that it's bigger than the original sword when sealed. Why wouldn't Gins sword be able to recover a tiny piece. In the case of Soifon she state she can't fire more than 1 missile every 3 days because it tires her. I'm assuming because it uses spirit particles, hers. So it needs time to "recharge"
I always can spot the bad guy undercover chars. I called Itachi before the creator prob thought of it. I recall playing the Naruto fighting game on the ps2 in 9th grade saying "watch itachi be a good guy" said the same with Gin. He's my fav char
Gin can easily beat half or more of the members of gotei. even Byakuya have no much on him in my opinion.He is one of my most favorite character. imagine him dealing with the Quincy's in TYBW
It was a colossal shame that Kubo killed him off. Such a deep character. I stopped watching bleach after they killed him lol....
