    Beware manga spoilers in this video!
    Without the Captain-Commander, Yamamoto, there wouldn't be a Gotei 13 to defend the world. Yamamoto is one of Bleach's most ancient, most fascinating characters, and it's a character we've looked at before on the channel. But this time, in his own character analysis, it's time to take a dive into what makes Yamamoto the all-powerful figurehead of Soul Society, and whether there's more to this gruff old grandpa than a flaming zanpakuto!

    As the Commander of the Gotei 13, Yamamoto has a storied history that aligns with that of the Soul Society itself. What do you enjoy most about Yamamoto's character? What's your favourite Yamamoto moment? Let me know!

      There are plenty of great moments with Yamamoto I can totally think of.
      A list of my favorite Yamamoto moments
      1. When he splits Ayon in half and then incinerated him till there was nothing left.
      2. Commending the Tres Bestias for coming at him with one arm and leaves them with just a few burns. (Glad he didn’t kill them off by the way).
      3. Withstanding Wonderweiss’s multiple hits and took them like a champ
      4. Even though it was off screen during the Soul Society arc, his fight with Shunsui and Ukitake. Especially before he fights them he says “Bring it on you young-ins. It’s way past a spanking time.”
      5. Giving the opportunity of having all captains and lieutenants to put all of their spiritual pressure in one sword to give Ichigo’s powers back. Returning him the favor for defeating Aizen.
      6. His close friendship with Chojiro.
      That’s pretty much it on my list. Still looking forward on the expansion of his fight with Yhwach in the anime.

      Could you imagine if Yamamoto used that attack on Ywach when the former the latter cloak.

It probably wouldn't have kill ywach but damage him enough that it would give Ichigo enough of an advantage.

    He's the true representative of old Gotei 13. Lawful, ruthless, protector, unmoving stagnant, willing to do anything regardless to keep order and the balance maintained. In the end however Shunsui is a more worthy successor with his wide ranging reforms that have brought a degree of true change for the first time since forever. Also take note of how brutally humiliating Yamamoto's death was, it was almost a brief apology for all the horrific atrocities he committed in his long life before being dispatched to the real flames.

    • @charminglady2011

      I kinda saw different. Yamma of old was evil. He was stronger then, because he was without chains of central 46. Then he was shackled. We all know if he had the same mindset of old, fake katakana town with all there would have melted just to kill Aizen. Those shackles started to loosen it's hold though, gave him a different strength when, Aizen turning trader and with Ichigo being thrown in. Yamma learned to bend rules. It's hard for those who were rehabilitated to adapt from evil to rules lawyer, to balance. I also didn't find his death humiliating. We see his sins catching up. That the gotei 13 was a start for him redemption but truthfully his sins were too great. He had too much blood on his hands, that realization is heavy. While unfair (I will be crying) he doesn't get to fix his mistakes. Plus plot got him.

    Yhwach claims the soul society has become weaker over the years because they are less bloodthirsty and violent than they used to be. However, I’m sure Yama knew that valuing life isn’t weakness. That’s what separates him from Yhwach, who will kill his own men for fun or out of boredom.
    The soul society moving away from the old ways is a sign of true growth.
    In the words of Gandalf the Grey: “True courage isn’t knowing when to take a life, but when to spare one.”

Yama is a really cool take on the badass old man archetype, in that the people who pick up after him are not really stronger then him, but rather better people who will bring positive changes to the system he built.

    We got a small taste of his power from his captain meetings and the respect he was given.

We got a bit more of his strength when he confronted Aizen on above the fake karakura town fight. Then we got the full beast when the Quincy returned.

    Yamamoto is one of those characters who left me cold early on, but who I really came to appreciate, especially due to the Arrancar arc doing a great job humanizing him. That arc showed that while Yamamoto is certainly stern and authoritarian, he is 100% committed to protecting the world of the Living at any cost, ready to sacrifice his life without hesitation to defeat evil and even handicap himself during fights to avoid the destruction of Karakura town. He truly does lead by example.

    Great video as always, I absolutely loved the part when you were talking about Sasakibe and Yamamoto’s relationship, the fact that you mentioned how it was great for Yamamoto’s character developpement and not really for us as a reader because we (and kubo) obviously don’t care about Chojiro (sorry)

    One thing I like about Yamamoto is how, when facing Aizen and loosing an arm, he kept it to remind him of the fight. And I like to think that because of that and the anger, he immediately goes Bankai against Ywach, he doesn't wait, he goes all out right away.

    Amazing vid for one of the most badass characters ever! Old yama always makes the scenes so epic with his power and his arrogance 😂❤ his presence always makes every scene he is in intense and you can feel he's a killer and someone who had so much history! The reaction with his eyes is amazing touch that kubo did and i always noticed it 😂❤ kubo did an insane job visually and ability wise! He's the strongest character but what kubo didn't do well is that he always makes him fall for tricks! Its like kubo created a way too powerful character and he don't know how to make him lose! So with Aizen its a trick and now here against ywha is also a trick! Give me a better ending! Like makes him die but that death was humiliating! He bested the guy 1000 years ago in the story so make it more pull and push type of event, he wanted to show us he is the strongest but yes as always there's a trick so he gets out of the picture! That i really didn't like! Being tired and getting struck once and thats it! I wish it could've been done better! He lived over 1000 years but still tricked in that way, he should've made it more better kubo, but aside from his death i think everything else is what i hoped and more! Especially his bankai is just OP 😂 can't wait to see in the anime in the next few eps!! It will be INSANE! Literally and i am sure they will pull it off! Seeing the flames and everything gonna be crazy! Yamamoto genryusai will always be one hell of a character.

    I've never read the manga, so congrats for the in-depth analysis, I've learned a lot about this character as I've been learning about Bleach by this channel.
    I used not to like Yamamoto, thinking he was too harsh and rude, but after Sasakibe's death I've started to look at him compassionately.
    Pity that he's going to die (maybe next episode) right now that he's become one of my favorites in this arc.

  • @zerobarge718
    @zerobarge718 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like a lot about him, but something I truly love that he shows off..along with a few other characters, is the possibility of someone's Bankai having several different abilities rather than just one. I mention this because a lot of Bankai seem like one trick ponies, but it's clear that it doesn't have to remain that way. With enough time, experience, and training, a Bankai can gain different abilities as it matures into its full potential. How much Ichigo's Bankai changes is another good example.

    I think one thing that's notable about Yamamoto's rigidity and heavy-handed nature... he's seen what the world was like before the Gotei 13. Hell, he's possibly seen what the world was like before the separation of the realms.
    The kind of disarray that motivated his founding of the Gotei 13 informs every decision he makes after that. For him it's order at all costs because he's seen what the world is like without it.

    I love this character and his bankai is by far my favorite.
    I only hope we get the best animators working on his fight because so far we've had terrible camera placement and constant cuts to mask a lack of animation which is damaging this adaptation for me.
    I hope Yamashita has liberty to take care of entire fights because he understands action better than what we've seen thus far.

    Yamamoto is a good example of an how a fictional character is written too strong. He was teased as the strongest captain but didn't get to show it. Rather he was put aside so that the antagonists could show off their superiority in battle and strategy. Not just that but he was also way too proud to ask for the help of others such as Orihime or Ichigo. When he faced fake Yhwach with just one arm he lost severally and was humiliated. Kubo had to step in when Yamamoto was weak enough so to give him a battle he couldn't win anymore.

    • @RATEDBTV
      @RATEDBTV ปีที่แล้ว +5

      If you want to be honest he didnt directly show it but in a sense you can tell he was the strongest Captain....during with his battle with Aizen he explained that no other Shinigami is stronger than him that's why he is Captain Commander, second his Bankai as I'm sure you know is INSANE !!

    • @Grayson-Winchester
      @Grayson-Winchester ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @@RATEDBTV yes his power is insane but he doesn't have many feats to proof it. Think of right now where he's just watching the Shinigami getting demolished. The same mistake in fake karakura town. In Soul society arc it was already established that he was the strongest captain commander but didn't directly defeat Shinsui noir Ukitake. In tybw Yhwach could steal his insane Bankai and than one shot him. Implying that they are equally strong. I mean Yhwach gets insane amounts of power ups later on in the story.

      @RATEDBTV ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I would argue that Ywach (before he activates "the almighty") is NOT stronger than Yamamoto only because he used a Double to fight him and last but not least he only one shotted him because its takes a tremendous amount of power to use his Bankai remember he has to finish the fight quickly or else him and the rest of soul society would be destroyed. So him deactivating it and then finding out that wasnt the real Ywach was basically checkmate Genryusai was in trouble and he knew it but Ywach played it well as to NOT fight Yamamoto head on. He going to speak to Aizen was a side mission at best lol

    29:22 If I had to guess what Yamaoto meant by passing down the knowledge of the Oken, Yamamoto might not have always been the Captain-Commander. Its stated he was the first but my theory is at some point Yamamoto "retired" to teach at the academy once again (maybe that's when he encountered Shunsui & Ukitake at the academy) & left the position to someone else (likely a current or former member of squad 0), when they were promoted to squad 0 or killed Yamamoto took up the position again (hence the statement of being the Captain-Commander for a 1000 years).

We finally get to see his tremendous power come to a head then all of a sudden now he's dead. To me that just seemed like that was lazy writing it was a rush job. I really hope unless it's already been done that someone does for Bleach what another writer did for Naruto and do a separate novel of more character development. And by the way even though this is off topic Kenpachi's Bankai is another rush job. Once again thank you for this breakdown
