For some reason I thought Askin was Arab lol. Maybe it's because the name of his Vollstandig kind of sounds like Hasshassin, which is an Arabic word that assassin derives from? I guess it's possible he could be both French and Arab, if he is from one of the French speaking countries in North Africa, like Tunisa or Morocco or Algeria.
This core has no business being so good. We are getting spoiled with so many additional scenes and fights. makes me wonder what else Kubo could’ve put in the manga
It literally does not matter at all, but I just figured I should let you know It’s “cour” not “core” It’s short for “cours” the French word meaning “course”
It has every right to be this good. Bleach deserves it. For too long it’s stood in the shadows of Naruto and One Piece. The anime got cut short. Kubo had to end the manga sooner than he wanted. I’m so glad he’s getting a second chance at retelling this arc, and with this level of animation. It’s one of the best things on tv right now.. Bleach deserves its time in the sun, if you ask me it’s way overdue.
Uryu vs renji was SO METAL. especially knowing how Kubo wanted renji to be near level to aizen enemies the anime really gives uryu a glow up of actually beating some high level foes before getting to his true power reveal Man how I want a hel arc to see the true powers of some of the captains in the underworld and such.
The only reason I could see Uryu not using the Antithesis is if he knew Hashwaltch was watching him and he wanted to keep it a secret for their inevitable fight
@@corruptangel6793 Now that you mention it, I completely forgot about that! Though correct me if I am wrong but I remember that Hashwalth seemed very shocked that it happened, so while he might suspect something, he doesn't have any proof
This is just a theory, but when Grimmjow gained clows and more speed it was as if he's using a fraction of his resurrection, so if the resurrection is the bankai of espadas this would be the equivalent of a shikai
@@genzo1619 Ress is bankai. It was stated multiple times in the series and by Kubo. Segunda Etapa is like 2nd stage of bankai, like how some bankais have multiple stages, like Byakuya's.
The Audience: Renji and Uryu fought together against Szayelaporro now they have to fight each other. Uryu: remember when we fought at the end of the Substitute Shinigami Arc, Renji? Renji: Yes, I kicked your ass. Uryu: yeah, about that.
Yes, there's another instance where the Zanpakutō acts on its own to save a Shinigami. In Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra, Ichigo dies, and we see not only Zangetsu (White) fighting independently, but also reviving Ichigo later. While Zangetsu (White) is indeed Ichigo's Hollow power, that is probably the reason why Ichigo has self-regeneration capability in the first place, he is also his Shinigami power.
@@joshshrum2764 Of course it’s Ichigo when we consider what we learn in the 'The Blade is Me' sub arc. Both Zangetsu (White) and Old Man Zangetsu are aspects of Ichigo. However, when we examine Ichigo's behavior during the fight with Ulquiorra, it's clear that he's not in control. Ichigo couldn't have summoned his Zanpakutō 'Jedi mode' or fired a Cero, at least not at that point. Additionally, Ichigo's character is typically not one to kill his opponents. That trait was reinforced some episodes ago when, being the one responsible for Ichigo's mother death, Yhwach stated that, even in that situation, Ichigo was not capable to say he would kill the him, saying instead he would defeat him. On the other hand, Zangetsu was fighting to kill Ulquiorra. We can also see in the anime, Ichigo can’t go full power when fighting against Uryu, but Zangetsu stabs and would have kill him, if it wasn’t for Ulquiorra. Furthermore, Ichigo's lack of memory of what happened in the fight and his non recognition of Zangetsu’s (White) Full Hollow form during his Dangai training tells, at least for me, that he wasn’t the one taking decisions on that moment. As stated in CFYOW, it's almost identical to what happened with Hisagi, given it’s proportions, of course. Hisagi was shot last episode, potentially knocking him out or even killing him. Despite not fully understanding his Zanpakutō, Kazeshini will automatically heal him. Same as Ichigo, Hisagi doesn’t remember being shot or healed by his Zanpakutō, Kazeshini is the one who tells him later in his inner world.
You can go very technical with how Rukia and Renji's Bankais could work. Rukia needs to lose as much as her kinetic energy and heat as possible to extract as much cold as she could. Renji, on the other hand, has to create as much kinetic energy to build up the heat and fire with his Bankai.
Oh damn I didnt know the GOAT tekkin has a chanel where he does his bleach videos nowadays. Didnt watch a video from him in years since he basically became the one piece reviewer. Dont know how I got this video reccomended, probably the ungodly amount of renji vs uryu reactions led me here. His Mayuri voice gave me instant nostalgic flashbacks. I subscribed for now and am exited for the new content. :D
To be fair with Uryu taking no damage, like, Uryu also took relatively no major damage against senjumaru, who is a member of squad zero, who wasn’t holding back, so yeah if they’re trying to be consistent then Uryu surviving squad zero level attacks probably means captain level attacks aren’t gunna do much either. But also I feel like the damage really isn’t what you’re supposed to pay attention to, I think the intention was that if Renji didn’t hold back, he would’ve won. Also in defense of Renji holding back, he doesn’t hold back in the same way as Ichigo and I feel it does make a difference narratively. Renji would’ve killed Uryu if he had to. He was fully on the offensive trying to beat Uryu but deep down he was trying to make killing Uryu a last resort worst case scenario. Ichigo could never bring himself to kill Uryu no matter what, he wasn’t even trying to hurt Uryu all that much, just mainly deflecting his attacks and fighting in self defense. So I don’t really think the “holding back” thing is really overdone. It works really well with Renji especially considering how much he worked with Uryu in Huecomundo.
I hear you, I feel the same as Tekking, The holding back excuse AT LEAST gives a reason to why Renji lost, but would have been narratively much better had they had a battle that at least made it look like Uryu was getting pushed back. stumbling, coughing a lil blood, something! You made a good point about Senjumaru though, She literally used a combined 0 squad life sacrifice attack to finish Uryu... and he reacted the exact same way, so in that sense it is keeping in line with the story, its just hard to figure out what level Renji is on now, he put up a better fight then Squad 0 so maybe thats a sign.
@@DmDaPDmyeah I think showing that battle damage would’ve made a lot of difference and probably would’ve been much better. Cause we already know Uryu is gunna win it wouldn’t make sense narratively if Uryu lost. But it would’ve been much more interesting to have Uryu looking increasingly more beaten up and having us think for a moment “oh my god is Renji actually gunna win?!” Before Uryu activates slaverei and regenerates all that damage. I think it would’ve absolutely add more excitement to it for sure. As much of an Uryu simp as I am I can kinda see where he’s a little too strong in some aspects, like he should at least struggle against a member of the zero division, idk regardless it’s cool. I like cool stuff I don’t care if it doesn’t make sense lol
Yhwach doing the "1.000.000$ but an immortal Iba with a dog on his back is slowly approaching to kill you" challenge. Iba must still be walking up those comically long stairs up to the soul palace as we speak.
It's interesting to note that one of Renji's best fights in the series is against a friend. Unlike Ichigo, Renji does not show any confusion or hesitation when confronting him, highlighting the differences in their characters. Despite Ichigo's many battles and power-ups, he remains fundamentally human, while Renji fights like a warrior. He confirmed whether Uryu was genuinely on the enemy's side and showed no mercy once he received his answer. While I still prefer the appearance of his old Bankai, seeing how So-oh Zabimaru incorporates aspects of Hihio Zabimaru, along with new abilities that we were never shown in the manga, has definitely given me a newfound appreciation for it. I wonder if Renji being able to tear off sections of his Bankai means, like Komamura's Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō, it has a self-repairing function, so he doesn't have to fear losing it should it break.
Uryu should be significantly stronger then when he was fighting Ichigo by the time he fought Renji. Uryu is now one with the ONE GOD. On the rank of an Archangel. In many stories Gods are nothing compared to Arch Angels as the AAs are the Direct Chosen of God. That Level of URYU fought Renji, a mere God.
I thought Tekking would have brought up how the ending was played in reverse in this episode. I don't know what it meant; it's not like Uryu used his antithesis in the fight.
I don't think they were trying to make Renji look weak it's just that Uryu is that strong and durable. Renji is definitely strong, but he's no way near the level of schutzstaffel or Zero Division. If uryu was to use his schrift once, the fight would be over. Stand proud Renji, you are strong.
Kazeshini as a whole represents the very definition of a Shinigami, with its chain representing life and the blades representing death. Thus, the chain of Kazeshini can restore any injury Hisagi receives-- even if his entire body is destroyed-- by instantly linking his body back together, as long as Hisagi still has sufficient Reiatsu. Before this revelation, Kazeshini was the source of Hisagi's previous level of resilience, as shown in his training with Kensei and Mashiro Kuna, and even saved Hisagi from fatal wounds, such as when Lille Barro pierced his Saketsu and Hakusui. His Bankai, Fushi no Kōjō, takes this even further. The Reishi around Fushi no Kōjō stagnates, and is said to replicate the conditions of the original world from millions of years ago. Fushi no Kōjō then extends the life preservation of Kazeshini's chains to any opponent Hisagi chooses, connecting both fighters with a length of chain around their necks. Any injury either combatant sustains will be instantly healed at the cost of their combined Reiatsu. PS: Do you think Ichika will effectively be the Bleach equivalent of Shoto Todoroki (Fire Father and Ice Mother)?
24:42 How nostalgic , I remember Tekking making the same joke a decade ago XD. Edit: 28:27 Probably the thing that powers up the gates of the sun, considering that Hashwalth mentions destroying them later on.
0:45 uryu vs renji was AWESOME! 8:35, 16:04 i didnt even make the connection of gate of the sun to quincies living in the shadows, thats kinda genius ngl! 47:45 renji kicking that arrow was sick! 48:19 such a cool shot!🔥 54:41 bro really defending renji all the way 😂 55:38 uryu combining the arrows like cards was so CREATIVE 🔥 56:50 "hey uryu just give me 20 sec while i charge this" 😂😂 1:01:45 feder zwinger is so 🔥 1:03:45 c'mon tekking you got the answer right there 😅
I get what you are saying with the renji and uryu fight but I don’t mind the gap in strength uryu is a member of The Schutzstaffe and the heir to Yhwach so the way I took it was the anime was just showing us how busted uryu really is
He was powered up by Yhwach, but Yhwach can’t make a fodder turn into a schutzstaffel level opponent just like that. So you definitely need to be skilled on your own right in order to reach such a level of power.
Lillie making sure to shoot the fodder first. Good guy he is. I was laughing so hard when shuhei got hit Also surprised they don't mention more often how renji and uryu were allies against the arrancar.
My sides hurt when Omaeda tried getting to Hisagi. I've seen a lot of ppl point out how he was asking to get shot the way he was slowly waddling around
Gerard, being the host of the Soul King's heart, would also fit with his battle with shutara. She subdued him, then tried to stab him in the heart, and we got this X-ray moment where we saw Gerard's heart and it beats and completely rebuffed her attack. Gerard then laughs and asks her if she really thinks she could "kill" his heart with that needle. I don't remember the scene in the novel where that's talked about, but the choice of wording in the anime kinda seems to support it. I don't know. The wording just seems a bit more natural to me if he's talking about a separate entity inside him rather than a piece of himself
Absolutely not weak, but I feel the disparity in power between Uryu and Renji was shown to be a bit too vast. I feel like Uryu was depicted here as being well above Renji's level after he went full power.
@@Ban-Kast I feel like they don't want to overdo the Antithesis, but I feel like if he used it against Renji, it wouldn't have felt as lopsided as it did. Granted, Uryu did have to use his completed Vollständig with Sklaverei, and a new ability, which was like the inverse of Sprenger, sapping spirit energy from the opponent trapped within the pentagon, vs Sprenger which concentrates the spirit energy into an explosion. But it really felt like this was just to show off Renji's moveset because Uryu wasn't in his Holy form for a majority of the fight, and when he was, he was winning. Basically, they should've had Uryu get almost beaten, and then he uses his Antithesis to reverse the damage back onto Renji.
Put some respect on Uryu he beat a royal guard squad 0 member he's far beyond even captain level so renji still had a good showing to get uryu to go almost all out. Renji aint beating lille barro, gerard or pernida either so it makes sense
I like how Renji's bankai is incredibly flexible with its abilities. Even without the full output of power, I would only imagine how differently his fight with Byakuya would've been much different if he had all these abilities at hand the first time.
They could have really sold Uryu's struggle even more if he was genuinely hurt that renji's (soul reaper) only impulse is to kill the quincy (taken as a group but really talking about himself). So as he takes him down, we know its not lethal but narratively its really selling how uryu is getting pushed away to the "dark side" truly feeling the persecution from his friends.
What's weird to me is I saw many saying Renji would beat Ishida if he didn't hold back.. like did they watch the same fight? Even if he held somewhat back, Ishida did much more and came out of this fight with no damage, didn't even use his scrift.
Also, as another commenter said, Uryu did about as well (in terms of damage taken) against Senjumaru. You know, the same one who had three other Squad Zero members off themselves to use a reality-bending Bankai to try and immediately squad-wipe the Schutzstaffel. And that was with just a _fraction_ of his true Vollstandig's power.
"the most anticipated fight from the manga" come on Tekking lets be real Askin vs Yorichi is easily the most anticipated, just sense your feelings you know it to be true 😜
I was on a tread about Quincy nacionalities in the Bleach subreddit and people said that Askin is a Turkish name. I Just headcanon that cos I know next to nothing about Turkey and "Nakk le Var/Nakklevar/Nakurebaru" doesnt sound anything like french to me. Edit: Just searched and It seems that his name is based on a kind of Lung Tumour. Thats dope!
Its fun watching anime onlys react to this fight, because people REALLY feel pissed off at Ishida and wanted Renji to win, which means the anime has already done one of its main jobs of fleshing out the story and making Uryu appear like a traitor! So good!
Why do people have such an issue with Uryu being so powerful? Kubo has said that he is a "special" Quincy. Also, he's Yhwach's successor, yeah it's a trick to make the sternritter keep an eye on Uryu but Yhwach still had to justify his choosing.
I can understand Ichigo not trying to kill Uryu. They are cousins. There is no reason Renji would or should hold back against Uryu. Even as friends (which, by the way, even though they were friends, I don't think they were that close) that goes out the window then all of existence is in Jeopardy. Plus, Renji is a soldier. They are trained to put their feelings aside in battle.
But Tekking, then if Uryu and Renji were closer in strength, Haschwalth would appear alot weaker. Renji is a VICE CAPTAIN! I think its appropriate but thats just me
I like to think that Hanataro ended up with kenpachi because he gets the same vibes of murderous intent that he got from unohana ... And he misses her so he tags along with Kenny 😊
There's a big difference between consciously holding back like Ichigo and subconsciously holding back like Renji did you can't really control your subconscious like that even if Renji wanted to go all out killing your friend isn't easy
Considering uryu 1v1'd a zero division member in their bankai and killed them in a single well placed shot it may have been hard to sell renji decimating uryu even if its just for dramatic effect.
So in the end there were 4 disadvantages renji had 1) subconsciously holding back said by uryu twice so even though i wish he didn't that was the case 2) surroundings were restricting renji's movements he would be able to fly move better etc if this fight took place in neutral circumstances 3) again uryu had home field advantage he could use his surroundings bro even healed lol 4) renji didn't know uryu's abilities and while yes uryu didn't know that much about renji's bankai as well compared to renji not knowing uryu's abilities that wasn't really that much of a big deal (well uryu did see renji's bankai in act 2 though right before going to soul king's palace so there's that) Renji was goated in this episode for sure 🐐
The stary of the Mayuri vs Pernida fight was when I got caught up to Bleach manga, and around that time was when I started wagtching Tekking101. So it feels pretty cool to be back in a similar spot with the anime and still watching Tekking lol
I’m glad you said it tek as a Bleach master you know best . I’m like an apprentice Bleach watcher and I know that Renji and Uruyu and not that far apart in strength they just pooped on Renjis whole training Arc 😭
They’re going out of their way to make sure uryu is stronger, but ain’t no way you can miss someone’s vital organs with a tree trunk sized arm to the chest, then two F off bombs to the face
Dude that scenario you outlined with hanataro and kenpachi in the bathroom would make me so hype in real life. The strongest captain telling me to hide behind him wold get me so hype to die for the gotei.
i liked how you described how Uryu vs Renji should've gone. Uryu definitely should've taken some serious damage then used Antithesis to reverse it onto Renji. all of it. your version not only would've made more sense, but it would've shown off his Schrift a little more which is something i know the manga failed to do. so, yeah i agree completely
i remember watching your vids when the pernida fight dropped in the manga, there was this real tension and fear every chapter that mayuri was gonna die, and man would that have been legitimately heartbreaking
I actually disagree here with Tekking. I think narratively Uryu should not have been badly hurt in this fight. Either that or Sklaverei should've completely heal him which it doesn't do as far as we know. If Uryu hasn't recieved heavy injuries during battle with Senjumaru he shouldn't during Renji fight as well is what I think.
When we see what he did to Senjumaru tbf it you're right, But to add the fight land see Renji do that much damage, its a bit annoying that they chose Uryu for him to fight. It was great visually so not reallya big complaint but i felt that same
Cool fight, glad it happened, but yes I agree, way too one sided. I think they are setting up Uryu as a participant in the final fight so they want to establish just how strong he has gotten, but still this was too much.
I know it's a longshot, but what if we get to see Isane's Bankai and it has healing powers similar to Minazuki (shikai). Maybe that's how all of these characters manage to survive despite there being no one around
Cat and ball how do you not put two together lol. Also think Yachiru is the reason Kenpachi washes his hands probably scolded him like the girl boss she is XD.
I think I went overboard but that's my point. Uryu is supposed to methodical fighter. He utilizes set up and range to lure his enemies into advantageous situations for himself. And I get Yhwach's blessings he doesn't necessarily have to anymore but Renji's last opponent. His power was physical might and with that comes endurance. One Zaga Teppou destroyed him. Uryu survives attacks in this fight I just can't believe. I think he invokes the most mileage out of Blut and destroys what its supposed to be which is ultimate supposed to fortify your body like steel. Why on earth would this protect you from a heat nuke. That's what bugged me. Uryu joins the good guys and becomes utterly undefeatable by the strongest characters in the verse until he's revealed to be a good guy again
At 35:00, i'd argue Ichigo! His Hollow Mask saves him from unconsciousness/death. His fight with Byakuya in the Soul Society with his half mask. Also Ichigo's final fight with Ulquiorra where he straight up dies, Vasto Lorde form comes out and Ichigo comes back. Ichigo is always a weird case with stuff in the series, but White is absolutely his Zanpakuto spirit and makes conscious decisions/actions to help Ichigo, and he is "healed" from the dead in his fight with Batman!!
I think the "subconsciously trying not to kill him" thing bears a lot more weight than you gave it. Renji was basically manhandling Uryu when Uryu was in base, and when he used Zaga Teppo, Uryu had a panicked look on his face as if to go "oshit, this might actually hurt". It's just that he was able to block it since Renji didn't dig in deep enough due to his mental state. Then when he went into Volstandig, Renji still put up one helluva fight, and again, Uryu has a panicked look on his face when Renji starts charging up his big finisher move. Once again he seems to be saved from the fact that Renji was pulling his punches due to that mental struggle. Basically, Renji with bankai can solidly fight against a Volstandig Uryu, it's only when he busts out Sklaverei that it becomes too much, at least in an environment that is heavily benefitting the Quincies. Maybe a Sklaverei Uryu in Soul Society would've faired worse. I definitely agree that there should've been some more battle damage though. Give us extra crispy, double smoked Uryu!
I absolutely loved the fight (Renji is my favorite character!), and it gave Renji a much needed showcase of his true power. I’m not upset that he lost, but I agree that the battle damage should’ve been more visible. Even though it wasn’t visible for the most part, the fact that Uryu felt it necessary to use Vollständig + Sklaverei in an area where he already has a solid advantage is still telling of how strong Renji is, and he hasn’t even reached his full potential. Even if they were to fight again on even footing, I’m not sure Renji would win since he doesn’t really have a counter to The Antithesis, but I’m sure it would be much closer. But regardless, I’m excited to see what more the anime has in store for these two!
Is the cour 3 breakdown with Clyde still happening? I’d love to hear both of your thoughts. Clyde took down the 2nd part btw. I have a somewhat lower quality copy of it I kept if you’d like to upload it to this channel (with blessings from Clyde I hope 😅).
Uryu did use the antithesis at the end with the ending credits being reversed. He used it with his last arrow not actually going through Renji, that black circle circle was his A.

Uryu beat a BANKAI SQUAD ZERO MEMBER and Renji did pretty okay against him so I’m quite happy with all characters involved in terms of powerscaling.

The 20 second charge time can be interpreted as a reference to the szayel fight: Uryu asks how long he can hold off szayel, and Renji says 20 seconds

This is just a theory, but when Grimmjow gained clows and more speed it was as if he's using a fraction of his resurrection, so if the resurrection is the bankai of espadas this would be the equivalent of a shikai
My thoughts too.
This is kind of how I processed those details as well.
more like resurrection is the shikai and segunda etapa is the bankai
@@genzo1619 Ress is bankai. It was stated multiple times in the series and by Kubo. Segunda Etapa is like 2nd stage of bankai, like how some bankais have multiple stages, like Byakuya's.

Yes, there's another instance where the Zanpakutō acts on its own to save a Shinigami. In Ichigo vs. Ulquiorra, Ichigo dies, and we see not only Zangetsu (White) fighting independently, but also reviving Ichigo later. While Zangetsu (White) is indeed Ichigo's Hollow power, that is probably the reason why Ichigo has self-regeneration capability in the first place, he is also his Shinigami power.

This whole thing has been such a real treat. The original content has been SO VALUABLE!
You can go very technical with how Rukia and Renji's Bankais could work.
Rukia needs to lose as much as her kinetic energy and heat as possible to extract as much cold as she could.
Renji, on the other hand, has to create as much kinetic energy to build up the heat and fire with his Bankai.
So basically what you are saying Tekking, Ichika is the true song of Ice and Fire :D
Oh damn I didnt know the GOAT tekkin has a chanel where he does his bleach videos nowadays. Didnt watch a video from him in years since he basically became the one piece reviewer. Dont know how I got this video reccomended, probably the ungodly amount of renji vs uryu reactions led me here. His Mayuri voice gave me instant nostalgic flashbacks. I subscribed for now and am exited for the new content. :D
Uryu being this much more powerful than Renji makes sense to me, he was on par with a Squad 0 member and Renji is not on that level yet
His name is kenpachi zaraki but every one else calls him 666
6 feet tall
6 packs
And 6 figure kill count
To be fair with Uryu taking no damage, like, Uryu also took relatively no major damage against senjumaru, who is a member of squad zero, who wasn’t holding back, so yeah if they’re trying to be consistent then Uryu surviving squad zero level attacks probably means captain level attacks aren’t gunna do much either.
But also I feel like the damage really isn’t what you’re supposed to pay attention to, I think the intention was that if Renji didn’t hold back, he would’ve won.
Also in defense of Renji holding back, he doesn’t hold back in the same way as Ichigo and I feel it does make a difference narratively.
Renji would’ve killed Uryu if he had to. He was fully on the offensive trying to beat Uryu but deep down he was trying to make killing Uryu a last resort worst case scenario. Ichigo could never bring himself to kill Uryu no matter what, he wasn’t even trying to hurt Uryu all that much, just mainly deflecting his attacks and fighting in self defense.
So I don’t really think the “holding back” thing is really overdone. It works really well with Renji especially considering how much he worked with Uryu in Huecomundo.
I hear you, I feel the same as Tekking, The holding back excuse AT LEAST gives a reason to why Renji lost, but would have been narratively much better had they had a battle that at least made it look like Uryu was getting pushed back. stumbling, coughing a lil blood, something!
You made a good point about Senjumaru though, She literally used a combined 0 squad life sacrifice attack to finish Uryu... and he reacted the exact same way, so in that sense it is keeping in line with the story, its just hard to figure out what level Renji is on now, he put up a better fight then Squad 0 so maybe thats a sign.
@@DmDaPDmyeah I think showing that battle damage would’ve made a lot of difference and probably would’ve been much better. Cause we already know Uryu is gunna win it wouldn’t make sense narratively if Uryu lost. But it would’ve been much more interesting to have Uryu looking increasingly more beaten up and having us think for a moment “oh my god is Renji actually gunna win?!” Before Uryu activates slaverei and regenerates all that damage. I think it would’ve absolutely add more excitement to it for sure.
As much of an Uryu simp as I am I can kinda see where he’s a little too strong in some aspects, like he should at least struggle against a member of the zero division, idk regardless it’s cool. I like cool stuff I don’t care if it doesn’t make sense lol
Dude I just notice this... IBA IS NOT A MEMBER OF THE INVASION
Iba literally misses the entire end of the series walking around carrying a dog on his back.
@@masterxl97 Man squad 7 always gets left behind.
😂 my man IBA doesn't even reveal his zanpakuto
Yhwach doing the "1.000.000$ but an immortal Iba with a dog on his back is slowly approaching to kill you" challenge. Iba must still be walking up those comically long stairs up to the soul palace as we speak.
It's interesting to note that one of Renji's best fights in the series is against a friend. Unlike Ichigo, Renji does not show any confusion or hesitation when confronting him, highlighting the differences in their characters. Despite Ichigo's many battles and power-ups, he remains fundamentally human, while Renji fights like a warrior. He confirmed whether Uryu was genuinely on the enemy's side and showed no mercy once he received his answer.
While I still prefer the appearance of his old Bankai, seeing how So-oh Zabimaru incorporates aspects of Hihio Zabimaru, along with new abilities that we were never shown in the manga, has definitely given me a newfound appreciation for it. I wonder if Renji being able to tear off sections of his Bankai means, like Komamura's Kokujō Tengen Myō'ō, it has a self-repairing function, so he doesn't have to fear losing it should it break.
I am excited to see this next fight as well. Thanks for the commentary!
Me too. I know the least about it. I never read the manga, but the other fights have been spoiled for me.
Uryu should be significantly stronger then when he was fighting Ichigo by the time he fought Renji. Uryu is now one with the ONE GOD. On the rank of an Archangel. In many stories Gods are nothing compared to Arch Angels as the AAs are the Direct Chosen of God. That Level of URYU fought Renji, a mere God.
I thought Tekking would have brought up how the ending was played in reverse in this episode. I don't know what it meant; it's not like Uryu used his antithesis in the fight.
Maybe it implies that Uryu used it after the battle to make sure Renji survives
I don't think they were trying to make Renji look weak it's just that Uryu is that strong and durable. Renji is definitely strong, but he's no way near the level of schutzstaffel or Zero Division. If uryu was to use his schrift once, the fight would be over.
Stand proud Renji, you are strong.
Kazeshini as a whole represents the very definition of a Shinigami, with its chain representing life and the blades representing death. Thus, the chain of Kazeshini can restore any injury Hisagi receives-- even if his entire body is destroyed-- by instantly linking his body back together, as long as Hisagi still has sufficient Reiatsu. Before this revelation, Kazeshini was the source of Hisagi's previous level of resilience, as shown in his training with Kensei and Mashiro Kuna, and even saved Hisagi from fatal wounds, such as when Lille Barro pierced his Saketsu and Hakusui.
His Bankai, Fushi no Kōjō, takes this even further. The Reishi around Fushi no Kōjō stagnates, and is said to replicate the conditions of the original world from millions of years ago. Fushi no Kōjō then extends the life preservation of Kazeshini's chains to any opponent Hisagi chooses, connecting both fighters with a length of chain around their necks. Any injury either combatant sustains will be instantly healed at the cost of their combined Reiatsu.
PS: Do you think Ichika will effectively be the Bleach equivalent of Shoto Todoroki (Fire Father and Ice Mother)?
24:42 How nostalgic , I remember Tekking making the same joke a decade ago XD.
Edit: 28:27 Probably the thing that powers up the gates of the sun, considering that Hashwalth mentions destroying them later on.
He never changes.
0:45 uryu vs renji was AWESOME!
8:35, 16:04 i didnt even make the connection of gate of the sun to quincies living in the shadows, thats kinda genius ngl!
47:45 renji kicking that arrow was sick!
48:19 such a cool shot!🔥
54:41 bro really defending renji all the way 😂
55:38 uryu combining the arrows like cards was so CREATIVE 🔥
56:50 "hey uryu just give me 20 sec while i charge this" 😂😂
1:01:45 feder zwinger is so 🔥
1:03:45 c'mon tekking you got the answer right there 😅
I get what you are saying with the renji and uryu fight but I don’t mind the gap in strength uryu is a member of The Schutzstaffe and the heir to Yhwach so the way I took it was the anime was just showing us how busted uryu really is
Why does nobody remember that uryu was powered up by yuwach
He was powered up by Yhwach, but Yhwach can’t make a fodder turn into a schutzstaffel level opponent just like that. So you definitely need to be skilled on your own right in order to reach such a level of power.
Besides his schrift and auswalhen what power up did he receive?
@@muzza2743 Nothing.
Not to this extent he wasn't. As much as I loved this fight, Tekking is 100% correct.
@@Thrillseeker8922 ok thanks I thought I was missing smthn
Lillie making sure to shoot the fodder first. Good guy he is. I was laughing so hard when shuhei got hit
Also surprised they don't mention more often how renji and uryu were allies against the arrancar.
Yeah that is another thing I would have liked to see. Perhaps a brief mention of their battle with Szyael.
Hisagi looked like a dead animal slumped over like Mufasa
@@Ban-Kast maybe on the juha fight if renji gets back up
@@garthyahudahandrews8504 truly living up to his number
My sides hurt when Omaeda tried getting to Hisagi. I've seen a lot of ppl point out how he was asking to get shot the way he was slowly waddling around
Gerard, being the host of the Soul King's heart, would also fit with his battle with shutara. She subdued him, then tried to stab him in the heart, and we got this X-ray moment where we saw Gerard's heart and it beats and completely rebuffed her attack. Gerard then laughs and asks her if she really thinks she could "kill" his heart with that needle.
I don't remember the scene in the novel where that's talked about, but the choice of wording in the anime kinda seems to support it. I don't know. The wording just seems a bit more natural to me if he's talking about a separate entity inside him rather than a piece of himself
Back on track, let's go!!!
Renji killed it. Unfortunately, the worf effect still comes into play, but Renji is no longer going to be called weak!
Absolutely not weak, but I feel the disparity in power between Uryu and Renji was shown to be a bit too vast. I feel like Uryu was depicted here as being well above Renji's level after he went full power.
@@Ban-KastYwach and Quincy power ups help Uryu vastly lol
@@Ban-Kast I feel like they don't want to overdo the Antithesis, but I feel like if he used it against Renji, it wouldn't have felt as lopsided as it did. Granted, Uryu did have to use his completed Vollständig with Sklaverei, and a new ability, which was like the inverse of Sprenger, sapping spirit energy from the opponent trapped within the pentagon, vs Sprenger which concentrates the spirit energy into an explosion. But it really felt like this was just to show off Renji's moveset because Uryu wasn't in his Holy form for a majority of the fight, and when he was, he was winning.
Basically, they should've had Uryu get almost beaten, and then he uses his Antithesis to reverse the damage back onto Renji.
“chad have you ever heard of the worf effect?”
“i’m confused why are we talking about renji?”
@@wal2er862 ah a fellow man of culture i see
the anime only content is really doing wonders for this arc i hope Ichigo and Rukia get the Renji treatment
Not rukia
I always love your voice acting of Mayuri.. ever since then 😊
Put some respect on Uryu he beat a royal guard squad 0 member he's far beyond even captain level so renji still had a good showing to get uryu to go almost all out. Renji aint beating lille barro, gerard or pernida either so it makes sense
I like how Renji's bankai is incredibly flexible with its abilities. Even without the full output of power, I would only imagine how differently his fight with Byakuya would've been much different if he had all these abilities at hand the first time.
Hope you’re pumped for Bleach friend this episode was crazy Renji was cooking. Uryu’s skavel rai and that ost was crazy 🔥
They could have really sold Uryu's struggle even more if he was genuinely hurt that renji's (soul reaper) only impulse is to kill the quincy (taken as a group but really talking about himself). So as he takes him down, we know its not lethal but narratively its really selling how uryu is getting pushed away to the "dark side" truly feeling the persecution from his friends.
Been waiting all week for this ur imput on the new stuff is well appreciated
Uryuu is definitely the guy who would cheat in poker & gaslights you -- the moment he's caught! 😂
What's weird to me is I saw many saying Renji would beat Ishida if he didn't hold back.. like did they watch the same fight? Even if he held somewhat back, Ishida did much more and came out of this fight with no damage, didn't even use his scrift.
Also, as another commenter said, Uryu did about as well (in terms of damage taken) against Senjumaru. You know, the same one who had three other Squad Zero members off themselves to use a reality-bending Bankai to try and immediately squad-wipe the Schutzstaffel. And that was with just a _fraction_ of his true Vollstandig's power.
"the most anticipated fight from the manga" come on Tekking lets be real Askin vs Yorichi is easily the most anticipated, just sense your feelings you know it to be true 😜
If they censor it I am going postal
And fucking Shunsui going bankai.
Just the faces they put on askin is some of the funniest stuff I have ever seen in a while.
I agree with you about the zaga teppo attack. He should at least have been bleeding a little bit.
Cour 3 has been fantastic. Uryu vs Renji was fire! Really looking forward to the Pernida fight!
In your defense, I had no idea Askin was french neither
We all agree that statement.
I was on a tread about Quincy nacionalities in the Bleach subreddit and people said that Askin is a Turkish name. I Just headcanon that cos I know next to nothing about Turkey and "Nakk le Var/Nakklevar/Nakurebaru" doesnt sound anything like french to me.
Edit: Just searched and It seems that his name is based on a kind of Lung Tumour. Thats dope!
Its fun watching anime onlys react to this fight, because people REALLY feel pissed off at Ishida and wanted Renji to win, which means the anime has already done one of its main jobs of fleshing out the story and making Uryu appear like a traitor! So good!
Did anyone else notice that the ED was in reverse?? 😮 It could be a reference to the Antithesis.
Why do people have such an issue with Uryu being so powerful? Kubo has said that he is a "special" Quincy. Also, he's Yhwach's successor, yeah it's a trick to make the sternritter keep an eye on Uryu but Yhwach still had to justify his choosing.
Keep up the amazing work and videos tekking
I can understand Ichigo not trying to kill Uryu. They are cousins. There is no reason Renji would or should hold back against Uryu. Even as friends (which, by the way, even though they were friends, I don't think they were that close) that goes out the window then all of existence is in Jeopardy. Plus, Renji is a soldier. They are trained to put their feelings aside in battle.
But Tekking, then if Uryu and Renji were closer in strength, Haschwalth would appear alot weaker. Renji is a VICE CAPTAIN! I think its appropriate but thats just me
A vice captain on the level of captains
I like to think that Hanataro ended up with kenpachi because he gets the same vibes of murderous intent that he got from unohana ... And he misses her so he tags along with Kenny 😊
I love that!
Headcanon acquired!
There's a big difference between consciously holding back like Ichigo and subconsciously holding back like Renji did you can't really control your subconscious like that even if Renji wanted to go all out killing your friend isn't easy
Considering uryu 1v1'd a zero division member in their bankai and killed them in a single well placed shot it may have been hard to sell renji decimating uryu even if its just for dramatic effect.
So in the end there were 4 disadvantages renji had 1) subconsciously holding back said by uryu twice so even though i wish he didn't that was the case 2) surroundings were restricting renji's movements he would be able to fly move better etc if this fight took place in neutral circumstances 3) again uryu had home field advantage he could use his surroundings bro even healed lol 4) renji didn't know uryu's abilities and while yes uryu didn't know that much about renji's bankai as well compared to renji not knowing uryu's abilities that wasn't really that much of a big deal (well uryu did see renji's bankai in act 2 though right before going to soul king's palace so there's that)
Renji was goated in this episode for sure 🐐
This Episode was PHENOMENAL!!
Renji stocks up
The stary of the Mayuri vs Pernida fight was when I got caught up to Bleach manga, and around that time was when I started wagtching Tekking101. So it feels pretty cool to be back in a similar spot with the anime and still watching Tekking lol
Fans have just been waiting for Renji to live up to the coolness of his design
Even defeat he still the coolness.
Tekking is 100% right. Uryu should’ve had some real damage and used his Shrift to send the damage to Renji hence beating him with his final attack.
I’m glad you said it tek as a Bleach master you know best . I’m like an apprentice Bleach watcher and I know that Renji and Uruyu and not that far apart in strength they just pooped on Renjis whole training Arc 😭
The other thing that tells that Askin is French, is that the first thing he does, is to run away
White flag is out there somewhere lol
Can't wait for my girl Nemu to get the spotlight next week!
They’re going out of their way to make sure uryu is stronger, but ain’t no way you can miss someone’s vital organs with a tree trunk sized arm to the chest, then two F off bombs to the face
Renji now has the most powerful fire zampakutou in Soul Society XD
Yamamoto's bankai is I think the strongest Fire zampakutou, and Renji can be Second
@yokusowatashiwanosoulsocie627 I mean currently. Since Yama isn't in Soul Society anymore. 😈
@@luiztomikawa Engestu ?
Yeah, in the light novel shuhei gets basically cut in half and the chains of kazeshini stitch him back together
Man Renji was Cookin in this ep
Renji and Uryu got a huge upgrade in this anime adaptation! Kubo blessing us with more GREATNESS! 🙌🏻
Dude that scenario you outlined with hanataro and kenpachi in the bathroom would make me so hype in real life. The strongest captain telling me to hide behind him wold get me so hype to die for the gotei.
i liked how you described how Uryu vs Renji should've gone. Uryu definitely should've taken some serious damage then used Antithesis to reverse it onto Renji.
all of it. your version not only would've made more sense, but it would've shown off his Schrift a little more which is something i know the manga failed to do. so, yeah i agree completely
48:21 was my reaction watching Renji beat the allegations 😭
Awesome bankast! I like your take on the fight. They should have shown more battle damage on Uryu. Definitley.
i remember watching your vids when the pernida fight dropped in the manga, there was this real tension and fear every chapter that mayuri was gonna die, and man would that have been legitimately heartbreaking
That fight between Renji and Uryu was AWESOME!!!
…Also, I like to think that Hanataro gently reminded Kenpachi to wash his hands. 🤣
Renji is the Vegeta of Bleach.
Number of things kempachi has killed...yes
I actually disagree here with Tekking. I think narratively Uryu should not have been badly hurt in this fight. Either that or Sklaverei should've completely heal him which it doesn't do as far as we know. If Uryu hasn't recieved heavy injuries during battle with Senjumaru he shouldn't during Renji fight as well is what I think.
When we see what he did to Senjumaru tbf it you're right, But to add the fight land see Renji do that much damage, its a bit annoying that they chose Uryu for him to fight. It was great visually so not reallya big complaint but i felt that same
Cool fight, glad it happened, but yes I agree, way too one sided. I think they are setting up Uryu as a participant in the final fight so they want to establish just how strong he has gotten, but still this was too much.
I know it's a longshot, but what if we get to see Isane's Bankai and it has healing powers similar to Minazuki (shikai). Maybe that's how all of these characters manage to survive despite there being no one around
Cat and ball how do you not put two together lol. Also think Yachiru is the reason Kenpachi washes his hands probably scolded him like the girl boss she is XD.
I think I went overboard but that's my point. Uryu is supposed to methodical fighter. He utilizes set up and range to lure his enemies into advantageous situations for himself. And I get Yhwach's blessings he doesn't necessarily have to anymore but Renji's last opponent. His power was physical might and with that comes endurance. One Zaga Teppou destroyed him.
Uryu survives attacks in this fight I just can't believe. I think he invokes the most mileage out of Blut and destroys what its supposed to be which is ultimate supposed to fortify your body like steel. Why on earth would this protect you from a heat nuke. That's what bugged me. Uryu joins the good guys and becomes utterly undefeatable by the strongest characters in the verse until he's revealed to be a good guy again
Uryu defeated some one from zero squad so it makes sense that he is steonger then renji
It is insane that Uryu can use Blut Vene on his damn clothes lmao like what in the hell
Jugram: 1st time
At 35:00, i'd argue Ichigo! His Hollow Mask saves him from unconsciousness/death. His fight with Byakuya in the Soul Society with his half mask. Also Ichigo's final fight with Ulquiorra where he straight up dies, Vasto Lorde form comes out and Ichigo comes back.
Ichigo is always a weird case with stuff in the series, but White is absolutely his Zanpakuto spirit and makes conscious decisions/actions to help Ichigo, and he is "healed" from the dead in his fight with Batman!!
ishida no selling renji's attacks is fine to me considering he beat a full powered royal guard (Shutara)
Well...we could argue that he couldn't beat her without getting her caught in her own bankai. But yeah he ended up winning.
I think the "subconsciously trying not to kill him" thing bears a lot more weight than you gave it. Renji was basically manhandling Uryu when Uryu was in base, and when he used Zaga Teppo, Uryu had a panicked look on his face as if to go "oshit, this might actually hurt". It's just that he was able to block it since Renji didn't dig in deep enough due to his mental state.
Then when he went into Volstandig, Renji still put up one helluva fight, and again, Uryu has a panicked look on his face when Renji starts charging up his big finisher move. Once again he seems to be saved from the fact that Renji was pulling his punches due to that mental struggle. Basically, Renji with bankai can solidly fight against a Volstandig Uryu, it's only when he busts out Sklaverei that it becomes too much, at least in an environment that is heavily benefitting the Quincies. Maybe a Sklaverei Uryu in Soul Society would've faired worse.
I definitely agree that there should've been some more battle damage though. Give us extra crispy, double smoked Uryu!
You can't discount the auschwalen buff too tho people keep forgetting about that
You and Tommo in the same day??? LETS FUCKING GO I LOVE BEING A BLEACH FAN
I'm losing my mind over the Mayuri and Pernida fight. I CANNOT WAIT, you know it's gonna have a lot of extra stuff added ❤
I absolutely loved the fight (Renji is my favorite character!), and it gave Renji a much needed showcase of his true power. I’m not upset that he lost, but I agree that the battle damage should’ve been more visible.
Even though it wasn’t visible for the most part, the fact that Uryu felt it necessary to use Vollständig + Sklaverei in an area where he already has a solid advantage is still telling of how strong Renji is, and he hasn’t even reached his full potential.
Even if they were to fight again on even footing, I’m not sure Renji would win since he doesn’t really have a counter to The Antithesis, but I’m sure it would be much closer. But regardless, I’m excited to see what more the anime has in store for these two!
Is the cour 3 breakdown with Clyde still happening? I’d love to hear both of your thoughts.
Clyde took down the 2nd part btw. I have a somewhat lower quality copy of it I kept if you’d like to upload it to this channel (with blessings from Clyde I hope 😅).
Uryu did use the antithesis at the end with the ending credits being reversed. He used it with his last arrow not actually going through Renji, that black circle circle was his A.
proof that renji did hold back a bit, his zaga teppo here was smaller and less defined than the one he used against the super star
Renji & Uryu stocks are parabolic after this episode, cour 3 has given us so much
