Hey guys! Hope you enjoy the video! Shoutout to visionary! Also, this is the road to 20K so be sure to hit that subscribe button and leave your thoughts down below! I wanna know if any of my theories made sense. And if I didn’t talk about it in the video, it’s because I think It’s better served in its own video. Thanks again!!
you explaining Ywatch ability to see the sand is right, but He can effect all futures so he doesn't need to wait for someone to jump between grains. As Ywatch told ichigo he destroyed his bankai in all futures. There's also little doudles between pages showing a grain of sand, half in white and half in black, that turns to signify that action escape Ywatch's sight(as he's looking from a birds eye view and can't see the underside of the grains). DBZimran did a good job explaining it.
Yhwach couldn't see Uryu's arrow because of the Antithesis. When Uryu explained his power to Haschwalth, Hasch called it magnificent and said that perhaps Uryu is the only one capable of challenging Yhwach's power and that he was right to keep him out of the battle with Yhwach. Then Ryuken brought him the stil silver and told him that he should be the one to fire it. The actual definition of the Antithesis is not to reverse but is the inverse, meaning it's power directly opposes whatever 2 targets he designates. So it's not that Uryu chose to just reverse damage, he literally reversed "the balance". Haschwalth said the Balance was a horrible matchup for that kind of power because regardless of spontaneously reversing the fortune and misfortune in the Balance's domain, the damage inflicted on Hasch will always reverse 2 fold. Uryu being the one to fire that arrow means that his Antithesis being used on Yhwach will make it so that he reverses the power of the Almighty, removing the futures he affects out of Yhwach's field of vision. That's why only Uryu could fire the arrow.
Thank you. I know it's not explained well in the manga but I thought people knew about this. it seems whenever the arrow is mentioned people forget about it.
You're the only one who paid attention to the story and made sense of it. Instead of the same old tired argument oh it's bad because it wasn't foreshadowed 🙄 like that would be the first time that happened in a manga. Plus it technically was foreshadowed with ryuken experimenting on his wife's body but I'm sure they'll do a better job of foreshadowing it in the anime.
Two things. 1) Ishida had Antithesis, he was the counter of Almighty. His choices were always able to negate Yhwach. 2) there are two types of prophecy, those that come true because those involved are not told. And those that come true because those involved were told and tried to escape the prophecy. Without the wisdom to separate those two, the Almighty would always have failed
want to put extra emphasis on ishida being a counter to the almighty. im am 100 percent sure that is why ishidas dad gave him the stillsilver to shoot yhwach instead of doing it himself
Orihime achieving that milestone of being able to protect Ichigo is satisfying. She has truly come a long way and is a strong character on her own at this moment, when you contrast it with herself during the Soul Society arc. We all were waiting for that moment when Ichigo truly resonates with his powers and is confident in his abilities. This part showcases that confidence. The hype is gonna be off the charts, especially during that fight between him and those eight quincies. When the anime is adapted, I hope they'd bring in much more coherence than what's provided in the manga. Eagerly waiting for that. Keep up the good work! Road to 20K!
Thats what Im saying. People try to say orihime is useless but dont understand that her character’s purpose is not to be a fighter like everyone else. Her role is the healer and she knows and embraces that and she always pulls through when someone needs to recover. And now since shes finally able to protect the one she always wanted to protect, its a perfect conclusion of her development
@@z.incognito6259 Totally agreed. The fact that now she's able to protect at this point strengthens her as a character. That's legit character development.
My take on it was addressed earlier in the video. He says to Ichigo that he can only see the future in his sight. The arrow wasn't fired from his sight. This statement is overly simplified, of course. By not seeing the arrow, he didn't see that grain of sand nor the chain of events that followed.
It is good to remember how arrogant ywhach is, he believed his power was well almighty and nothing could overcome him. When he dismissed the dream of Ichigo killing him it was because of that arrogance. In the end with the still silver he was so focused on Ichigo and so thrown off from Aisen that he didn't see uryuu as a problem. There may also be an effect of the still silver possibly hiding uryuu in a sense just because he has it.
Bach reminds me of something that happened in WW2. Naval war gaming was part of training and planning for operations. In preparation for invading Midway, the Japanese naval COs had enough time to game out one battle. The game was a decisive victory for the US from a couple lucky hits from dive bombers on Japanese carries. Most of Japanese offers decided to ignore the game, dismissing it as improbable. The day of the battle comes and exactly what was gamed out happened. Even with foresight, prudence and wisdom to use what you know is important
I’m so happy Kubo is adding a whole bunch of new elements to fill in the gaps and I have no doubt ichigo’s final battle with ywach will be extended so that we can see exactly what his true bankai can do
@@muchoyurdem5260 I also want Kubo to expand on the uryu’s power the antithesis and his overall power in general. Ywach said the sternritter would see him fight in the upcoming battles and it never happens. He doesn’t really do anything very notable with the exception of firing the arrow into ywach
@@gammafrost Yeah i fully agree. He really didn't show much of Uryu and i remember reading this arc the first time constantly waiting for more Uryu action but it sadly never happened other than him having a fast clash with Jugram and then just shooting that arrow for a split second. I really thought Uryu had a masterplan in mind by following Yhwach and just waiting for the right time but turns out the one with the plan was Ryuken and Uryu didn't even know about it lol. That already shows that Kubo had probably originally other stuff in mind, but couldn't write/draw it because it would just take too much time and we know he was rushed to finish that arc sadly
@@muchoyurdem5260 yup. Also I wanted to know why ywach chose Uryu to lead knowing that he was going to betray them all along. He states Uryu has something that surpasses his own power and that’s why he was chosen. It made me think that ywach secretly wanted to take his power for himself when it was time
@@gammafrostWell there is already kinda a explanation for that but it should also def be more explained in the upcoming anime. How i interpret it is that Yhwach choose Uryu because he would be the last Quincy in the end. Yhwach explained to Uryu that he is the only Gemischt Quincy that survived the Auswählen "ever." Yhwach knew sooner or later he would absorb all other Quincys powers hence the race probably not existing after that anymore if something also happened to Yhwach. And by calling him the next successor openly to the other Quincys literally was to avoid being betrayed by Uryu because all eyes were now on him, literally observed by all Quincys/Sternritters. That's what makes Uryu special, especially for Yhwach, he already tried to take Uryus powers but it didn't work so i don't quite believe in the theory that Yhwach wanted to take his powers.
Yeah, as much as it is speculation, I can definitely see how it's all put together in a comprehensive way. I agree with how you explained why Ywach was felled, despite how overwhelmingly outclassed Ichigo had seemed to be. He may have a lot of eyes, but obviously not enough.
Orihime's support role in the final battle and the looks she exchanged with Ichigo really foreshadows what will happen between them in the postwar world. It's heartwarming and badass of Orihime to put herself in such danger for the man she loves. Their relationship truly began here as they saved the worlds.
"Their relationship truly began here" which I think is the whole problem with why so many people weren't really receptive of the ending I didn't have any preferences for ships with Ichigo, but even I thought it was a bit odd
@@rai4119 if u understand ichigo then it makes sense. they were both angsty teens that was dealing with insecurities, no wonder its not actually weird for them to get together yrs later. if its a romance manga i would agree with you but its not, it still makes sense tho, even miles better than some shonen like naruto for example lol
21:43 I just gotta say, Ichigo and Orihime in this fight are like two long time, max leveled, maxed stat MMORPG players who mastered their classes they chose and know all their key attacks and combos, and know when to heal, when to defend, putting complete trust in one another knowing that the other is there for them.. honest this is like a beautiful dance between Ichigo and Orihime.. (It's funny how I used to be an IchigoxRukia shipper, but now I'm all for Ichigo and Orihime, Ichigo and Rukia act more like siblings where it was VERY LIGHTLY hinted in the beginning that Ichigo liked Orihime and Orihime liked Ichigo. And obviously it would be Orihime and Ichigo since you know.. THEY HAVE HISTORY TOGETHER, same with Rengi and Rukia.. xD) 39:41 To add to this idea of Yawachs Intelligence and dismissing the dream he had of Ichigo killing him in his old Shiki form, something evident with having vast knowledge and intelligence is Arrogance and Pride, by Yawachs Arrogance and Pride he dismissed the dream he had. His pride didn't necessarily blind him, but his arrogance had him convinced that he had everything figured out cause he could see the "possible" futures, I think as well that Yawach even though he felt Ichigos strength still looked down on Ichigo and saw him as lesser due to his own pride.
My head canon for why Yhwach did not see ishida hitting him with the arrow is that due to the arrow disabling his abilities momentarily it prevented him from seeing that particular future or 'grain of sand' at all. As in that future he would not have his almighty power. Just a guess though
His A ability was said to counter and be on par with the Almighty. He can revert any changes thrown on himself and put those changes on his opponent. Any Change to the future to kill Ishida would be nullified and possibly put on Yuha. But Ishida’s A is not to revert but to inverse. Hack abilities will not effect him. He does not just revert any change done to him but reverses any ability and opposes it. This would make it so he could not be seen by the almighty when Ishida uses it. Which he had it activated before he arrived.
Ok so 2 things. I think the "dream" jugram was showing Yhwach was the very future that happened at the end of the story, and Yhwach chose to ignore it out of ignorance and ego. Secondly, I think the reason the arrow wasn't forseen by Yhwach is because it's made from still silver. Yhwach couldn't perceive the arrow becuz he ignored that future. Yhwach was tainted from absorbing everyone through aushwalen so the arrow worked on him because it's made from the silver of quincy hearts. Seems pretty logical to me, considering Ryuken was the only pure quincy left and dissected people constantly. Also a fitting end for Yhwach as he died from the people he was using as well. Not to mention it tying into his themes of fear and death. Overall, could it have been executed better? 1000%. But if you really dive deep into like you did, I think it makes sense. There so many factors that go into this fight so I can easily see why this vid was frustrating to make lol. Nontheless, great vid man! Looking forward to the last video of the series!
This is an excellent breakdown and really highlights how well written that fight actually was. You have pointed out that Ichigo isn't even at his full potential and other powers that he can potentially manifest in the future! I love it! Thank you so much for this breakdown. I had to immediately share and start talking to my friends about the things we missed that you pointed out. Keep up the good work! I always love to hear others perspective on the series, and especially Ichigo!
I think that when tsukishima changed the past it also changed the past where ichigo lost his Quincy and hollow powers , so when yhwach died ichigo actually had all of his powers. The reason sheath of his bankai breaks is because yhwach cracked his bankai in last battle with aizen and yhwach
@@flameofrebirth101 but aizen quotes further that it was in his benefit that ichigo was immune to kyokutsu suigetsu, if ichigo really did pulled up afterwards why would aizen say something like that ? Imo ichigo and renji did come when they were shown to be but then aizen used kyoka suigetsu to switch places with ichigo so that he could land a clear hit . So yhwach damaging ichigo's bankai in this fight is a possibility
It *is* very strange that Yhwach couldn't see the future of himself being shot with the Still Silver Arrow but we DID have a prior moment of Yhwach being unable to see an action taking place: Mimihagi coming to hold the Soul King together. What connection those two have to do with each other is pretty much nothing I guess, other than that they both are "objects" of power that come directly from Soul King-level individuals (the Soul King and Yhwach).
I love Ichigo's fused zankpaktou transformation and how it symbolizes how he's accepted both sides of his power fully accepting himself and his identity it's good stuff. Great videos as always, found your channel last year and my favorite video you've done is "the blade is me" video it's amazing
I lived in Japan for five years. It's very common to give distance in time. I lived outside Tokyo and everyone told me how far things were by travel time. Their public transportation is the most accurate/on-time in the world. Therefore, it makes sense when you live there and you are planning your trip to wherever. Good stuff btw, really good.
Ichigo has no pure shinigami power, his hollow and shinigami powers are one. That's pretty clear when you look at white as his assauchi. White has always been zangetsu, and is ichigo's hollow and shinigami powers fused together. The only way for this to be false, would be ichigo having another spirit within him that represented his shinigami powers, which he doesn't have. Considering this to be true, there are 2 possible theorys for his powers. Ichigo didn't lose completly loose them: we see ichigo losing his powers 2 times before this(mugetsu and ginjo), and in both cases his powers weren't gone. We see ginjo steal ichigo's fullbring completly, to the point where he can't even see ghosts, and yet there they are when gains his shinigami powers back(mugetsu did the same). So i would assume that you can take ichigo's powers, but as long as the core is there, he can recover them. And as said, his hollow powers are his shinigami powers. So zangetsu only exists if he still has the powers to back it. The other is theory is that tsukishima intefered in the past and made so his powers were not stolen. I don't think it's the case, but the outcome is the same. Ichigo wouldn't even be able to hurt anyone, let alone fire a getsugatensho without his powers.
Perhaps being a perfect hybrid, ichigo's powers can always be restored since every power is sort of linked to the others. He'll always have his human side, perhaps ichigo himself is the representation of his shinigami powers. Or it's tenza zangetsu which just looks quincy to me
Plus, Kubo said in his fan club Q&A that if Ichigo wanted to, he could split his sword back into two blades again, since he absorbed the broken white sheathe of his Bankai when he struck down Yhwach. And each blade represents his Shingami/Hollow powers and his Quincy powers. So he definitely still has them.
First, I was never an IchigoXOrihime fan. I did know early on that it would happen, but I still wasn't a fan of it. That said, your explanation of this final battle actually has made a lot more sense out of what was shown. Thank you for that, because it does show that Yhaw was fallible, which led to his end. The first time I read this battle, since a lot of it left me confused, the whole fight felt almost like a fever dream. Also, something that I just thought of, in the aspect of the Soul Reaper and their Zanpakutou are one, possibly the best example of this would be Azien, since he no longer has a Zanpakutou blade, yet still able to use it's abilities. Would others be able to do this? While most do rely more on the sword aspect of their Zanpakutou, would it be impossible for them to get to such a level that Azien made it to? If I've made some error with this, do let me know. My understanding of certain things can be lacking at times, but I do think this would be an interesting topic. For instance, Rukia. She basically makes cold. Don't need a sword to do that. So would it be possible for her to loose the need for the blade and just keep the abilities? Because if that is the case, then the Zanpakutous could been almost like training wheels to help unlock your power and abilities and to help you learn them. The Zanpoakutou could just be a medium that pulls those powers out of you. For example (changing to Marvel) Thor's hammer was just meant to help Thor channel his powers, not give them to him. Hopefully this makes sense and there isn't 100s of videos about this out there already.
The final battle is basically why as awesome as Kubo is, it gets ridiclous how the main villain always has some mind-bending ability starting with Aizen. In fact, I find it beyond stupid Juha can just deny Ichigo access to his True Bankai since the whole point of this arc is give us a show that rivals Mugetsu, Fullbring Bankai, and Hell Armor in awesomeness and there's a reason most anime and manga don't violate the "never interrupt transformations" rule: It'd be boring if they could get interuptted like this were happening in real life.
Thanks for this video, I see this fight in a more positive light now. It was compelling enough for me to go ahead and subscribe. I hope they make ywhach's pitfalls more apparent in the anime. I also hope they show ichigo's bankai in action, maybe as one of the futures ywhach saw, before he breaks the sword.
Just for more context on the Ichigo bankai being shattered into OG Zangetsu, Kubo confirmed that the white part or sheath that shattered away were the powers that Ywach stole. After the blade/sheath broke, the powers were reabsorbed back into Ichigo. So for those curious, yes he reobtained his Quincy/Hollow powers.
First of all I'd like to say that was a very well made video. Not only the editing but your attention to detail and research. I can tell you really put your heart into. I especially love your heartwarming message at the end during the recap. It was honestly beautiful. Secondly I'd like to add/question is about Ichigo's true power. From my understanding (and by all means I'm no expert, just an accumulation of my understanding plus other's theories and such) the reason Yhwach "feared" Ichigo's true bankai abilities were because they were similar to his own in the almighty. He even says so himself how it is unlike his own powers. The true power Ichigo has (which ties in a lot of things from throughout the whole story from the beginning) is to "change fate". In essence all the times he is getting stomped and something happens, whether it be someone calling out, a flash back, something the enemy does, he always makes some kind of statement about having to win, or is going to win, etc... In doing so he is literally altering the future by willing a change of fate into existence. It is also why the people closest to him gained powers to not only fight alongside him, but to aid him in protecting others because that is who he is. The Protector. It also blends in why Orihime is The Princess (multiple underlying references throughout the story) and why she is with him at the end to protect him. He depends on her for motivation and a reason to move forward and so she is granted the ability to be able to protect him so that he can protect others. I will add that his ability to "change fate" isn't exactly like the almighty. That is why Ywhach says it is SIMILAR to it because he truly understands it which is why he fears the full power of Ichigo's true bankai and takes precautions. The almighty essentially grants Ywhach to ALTER the future by potential options made by choices from various factors. While on the other hand, Ichigo's ability to "change fate" is more deeply interwoven and reactionary than premeditated. It literally alters the course of the future in the moment as opposed to precautionary actions taken ahead of time. Just my thoughts I wanted to share but I still want to go back and say again that this was a really made video and I absolutely loved it and hope everyone else has the opportunity to see it as well!
True poetry there. Throughout this series you have Brought us to a closer understanding Ichigo's Character and what a represents, Which isn't too difficult in fact it's summed up in the very word that we hear in the end, Courage. Ichigo's Entire journey has been one of Constant battles with insurmountable odds with the High chance of defeat or death Yet he faces them anyway. Which is courage summed up to its core. Courage is not about being brave or confident, it's about knowing that you're afraid but willing to move forward anyway. Yhweah who only knew of confidence had no courage, Because he had the Almighty ability that gave him certainty of which road he Needed to take so there was no fear to overcome. I think he chose not to act on that vision because if he did he would be acknowledging his fear of death. I also have my own interpretation Of how the Almighty failed Yhweah and how Ishida managed to pierce Yhweah without him knowing it. I like to imagine that Yhweah Is that our glass and his Almighty is the sand, With the combination of book of the end and Azien's Zanpoto He basically became an empty hourglass the hourglass because basically at the moment the past of Ichigo's Bankai Was re written everything was reset, For there to be a future there has to be a past, and if the past is reset every future gets reset and with Azien's ability he could not see those news futures, meaning he could not see Ishida hitting him with that arrow.
First video I watched from you. Phase 5 was an amazing summary and gave chills down my spine. This was well summarized!! Thank you! :) Definitely subscribed.
when tsukishima created a new past it also restored ichigo's hollow and quincy. I believe kubo confirmed it on his club(the same place he explained about the sword and scabbard). kubo also said that ichigo absorbed the broken bankai scabbard. right now ichigo can choose either single blade or duel blades, meaning he has access to hollow and quincy powers
Thank you so much for the breakdown. This final battle confused the heck out of me at times. I reread the chapter a few time and i felt dumb lol. Youre one of the few channels that broke it down perfectly
A great analysis once again👏👏👏 But still, if Ichigo's shingami powers are made of and came from both Hollow and qun, and they are both absorbed (although they gets them back in the future according to the novels and the hell chapter), then what is his pure shingami power are made of (I know he gets it from his dad), and if he now he had a pure shingami powers, will he still be able to use both Shiro and Koru Zangetsu souls? Or he will get a new soul entirely for his pure power? Wouldn't that makes him have 3 souls (once his powers are back)? We need an answer plz. If you think about it, Kuba kinda explain what happened to Ichigo zanpakutou. But in my opinion and my opinion alone, kubo could have explained everything better if he had the time and if he didn't, with everything that Ichigo have gained through this arc, Ichigo and hear me out...... could've discovered the 3rd release of Zanpakutou wich would have made him even more busted 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Wow this video give me less answers but made me asks more questions 😅 Ps: was the diary of Jean playing in the back ground, I miss those days 😢
His true shinigami power is forever fused with the hollow white that became zangetsu inside of him, that's why his name is zangetsu now instead of white who was intertwined with masaki and whom isshin protected her against for 20 years.
@@Oromanowarful so when white got absorbed, wich white are we talking about, the one who is born with Ichigo or the one who fused with his mom? Because to me, it always confused me, was white transferd to Ichigo upon birth or a new white was born with Ichigo? Because Ichigo dad didn't get his powers back until white awaken fully in the fight against byakuya. Wich lead to another question, if white was in Ichigo before his mother death why isshen didn't get his powers earlier since his wife died and there is no need for him to keep holding white back if all white wants is to live and protect his and Ichigo's life?
@@hashem1990rko I can't say I have all the answers but I'll try, when ichigo was born it's possible white fused with the latent shinigami power that lied dormant within ichigo and grew stronger until ichigo called out zangetsu. When the old man quincy was controlling that power and letting it out little by little, the sword ichigo had, before his true zangetsu (dual sword) was a creation of the quincy inside of him, utilizing the power of zangetsu (the spirit of white combined with the shinigami powers inherited by isshin) but it wasn't created with an asauchi so it was never a true zanpakuto and therefore ichigo was never actually utilizing his potential as a shinigami until he reformed zangetsu as the dual swords. When the inner yhwach told ichigo here is the true zangetsu, I think he meant he was giving control over all his innate powers over to ichigo and relinquishing his control over zangetsu and ichigos power releases. Ichigo had a connection to both white zangetsu and his inner yhwach so he desired to have a sword that represented both spirits that lived inside him that protected him along his way. To the original question, his shinigami power is the combination of his hollow combined with the original power he got from isshin which boosted his original potential, but he also had quincy power from his mother, and her spirit was bonded to white in a way as well so it's possible that the old man was a representation of masakis will to protect ichigo that she passed onto him when white was transferred onto ichigo when he was born. This is just a theory but who knows? Also I feel like the reason his shihakushou in true shikai has white and black trim on his bottom half is because the black is for the shinigami robe, with the white being representative of a quincy uniform like uryu, ryuuken, haschwalth and all the quincy, they wear white uniforms, his shoulder pauldron reminds me of isshins captain robe design element with the straps reminding me of some of his fullbring design elements all in one outfit. Also him having access to both a quincy zangetsu sword and a hollow/shinigami sword, he can counter any enemy known thus far by letting either sword absorb or be affected by different types of reiatsu like when he fought yhwach, the quincy reiatsu woke up zangetsu(hollow) and awoke his hollow powers/reiatsu which are more effective against quincy than other types as described when kisuke and mayuri discussed the enmity between the quincy and hollows, hollow reiatsu is poisonous to quincy, and shows why ichigo being a combination of all of those forces is able to defeat virtually anyone, even yhwach stated it was ichigo who dealt the deathblow to the real soul king, so maybe one has to have the same reiatsu type as the soul king in order to be able to kill him? Anyways hope this was helpful food for thought.
@@hashem1990rko because isshin was trying to hold back the hollow that was transferred to ichigo but he became stronger living inside ichigo fused with ichigos power, which is why he stomped ulquiorra when ichigo got killed and zangetsu took over his body, because white, (who had fought isshin 20 years prior) was nowhere near that level of strength when he fought isshin, when kisuke saved masakis life by binding her spirit with isshins, it allowed isshins spirit to hinder the influence the hollow reiatsu would've had on masakis soul which would've caused her to die. But once she had ichigo, white fused with that shinigami power and grew stronger as ichigo grew stronger and his inner quincy helped as well by creating a sword for ichigo to use since ichigo never had an asauchi before his royal court guard training. Meaning his bankai wasn't truly a bankai it was just the old man releasing a little more of ichigos true inner power to the equivalent level of a bankais power and speed. Ichigo himself said that zangetsu takes his reiatsu and compresses it to enhance his slashing or cutting ability when using the first zangetsu. Ichigo finally learned the truth about himself and accepted that he was not responsible for masakis death and that he was a quincy along with having white become zangetsu inside of him when white fused with his shinigami powers, so when he found his asauchi as soon as he touched it, it imprinted the strengthened spirit white to become the first real zangetsu since there was a sword for the spirit to imprint on, but ichigo also felt like the inner quincy was also zangetsu and poured that strength into the asauchi as well during the forging process and divided them into two swords from one asauchi, each having the two different spirits that had lived inside of him.
The arrow actually makes a lot more sense than people seem to think. It's an arrow that knocks out his power so in any future he's hit by the arrow his power isn't working so he doesn't see that possibility. He probably saw futures where he avoided the arrow or Ichigo didn't kill him in the brief moment he was vulnerable and the Almighty kicks back in.
Amazing! I have been waiting for this for days! And it was worth it! Thank you my g, how are you not having more than 1 mil sub? This is gigguk level of stuff, damn.
I just realised from the short clip near the end of this video! The shikai manifestation of Zangetsu looks like mature Yuha Bach. And the bankai manifestation of Tensa Zangetsu seems reminiscent of young Yuha Bach! Interesting indeed! Thanks for this video, Flame of Rebirth
THAT LAST EXPLANATION OF HOW "WE" GET BACK TO ORIGINAL SHIKAI ZANPAKUTO WAS FIRE! At least, to me, this makes all the sense in the world. THANK YOU For such great analysis and content.
I've heard a theory that just like the Almighty's power is not able to see the future of the Mimihagi or the Soul King, there is a property in still silver that was beyond his precognitive abilities. It is said the Mimihagi governs "stillness": meaning it can prevent change. If that's the case, then still silver, also known as "silver of stillness" could potentially have had the same effect on Yhwach of completely nullifying his ability to see a future with the person who carries that property.
Having Aizen say the courage line is amazing. Kubo gives us a hint to us Aizen know's he was misguided and knows why death matters and Aizen might have looked evil but might not be the whole story
I took it to mean the Almighty could view all grains of possibilities inside the present moment, but having his past rewritten by Tsukishima was the equivalent of removing the grain of sand Ichigo was on from the hourglass. This relies on whether or not the Almighty is a continual toggled power or a trigger technique. If it is a trigger technique and he didn't bother to recheck Ichigo's immediate future after his grain was removed, then he would have effectively been searching for a grain of sand that no longer existed. This would not have been true if the Almighty was a toggled power.
Merged Tensa Zangetsu is the form that taught him the final getsuga tensho. When they fused, they told him that they are one and that ordinarily the two of them make one because they are both his power. Zangetsu also told Ichigo that him and OMZ have always been one and they share the same body. I think when he went bankai against Yhwach, Merged Tensa Zangetsu was formed again. When Yhwach stole his hollow and quincy powers, Ichigo said the quincy power inside of him and the hollow power that was mixed with it is disappearing into white. The powers were combined at this time because he was in bankai. So when this happened, his shinigami powers remained but Merged Tensa Zangetsu represents all of his powers so even without the quincy and hollow power, this zanpakuto spirit should still remain as well.
You're sort of wrong about that ending Bach attempts to move himself to a different future and we jump forward to that future seeing a piece of Juha Bach try to "infect" the child of Ichigo & Orihime but the kid seems to crush it with his hand, then were introduced to the kid's friend the child of Rukia & Renji
Another GREAT Video! But I don't really agree on what you said for the Almighty. Yhwach being able to place traps long before Ichigo even came and being able to "probably" choose a path of a future in which his Bankai just splits in half is (imo) reason enough to think that Yhwach actually CAN see every possible future and choose them. He is also able to rewrite the future in which he has died, meaning he can not only choose one possible future, but he can rewrite those at will. That atleast would be plausible and explain how he was overwhelming the others. The silver Arrow stuff still doesn't make much sense, I mean the Antithesis is kind of a counter, but still. I guess it was Yhwach's ignorance (like you said in the video) that led to his defeat, I hope they handle this better in the anime. But overall I don't think it's as bas as some people claim it to be
I'm a firm believer that at the end of the day, Uryu used the Antithesis to negate the future where Ywach dodged the stillsilver arrow and used it again to negate the future where Ywach was able to counter Ichigo's (semi) fatal blow.
A personal note about Ichigo controlling weather with his emotions. Whenever I get depressed, it rains, And It has happened this way for the last 28 years that I have been able to observe the phenomena. I'm 32. Most people can't remember that far back. I fully believe that Ichigo has this ability. Think about it. Everytime he's depressed in the world of living too, it also rains there. On a separate note, Still looking forward to get that shirt.
Lol How you remember all of these things amazes me, despite the snark this video was put together pretty well and i can happily tell you that i am so excited about the shows return. More in depth analysis of different faucets of the series is important and i hope the good work continues.
It's actually surprising how can you find so many things about 1 character. Like, yeah. He's the protagonist, he's op, he has to live, he has secret powers. But this? It's kinda better than just an op character
My 1st time seeing one of your videos. I think Kubo had so much planned for this arc, that when he was told BLEACH was over and he had a ridiculously short time frame to finish. It seems like he may have come up with this part 1st, working backwards. Great video, subbing now.
About Juha Bach's ability, I agree with most of what you said. It is a truly powerful ability, but it is limited by his own perception and intellect. But here is my take: if you think about it, future possibilities are almost endless. So I'm guessing that Juha has to filter all these grains to select a few most probable ones based on his experience. So he doesn't see Ichigo switching from a grain of sand to the other, he chooses which futures are most likely to happen and acts on it in advance. And if he sees a future has a high probability of happening that is disadvantageous for him, he can directly alter that grain of sand by overwriting it with another one, like the case where he revived after being killed. But since he still relies on his own senses and judgement to use this power, then he is still prone to making mistakes and being toyed with by abilities like Aizen's which is the most powerful illusion that can even modify reality itself. I think the reason he couldn't see Ishida's arrow was because he was overwhelmed by all the possibilities where he could be defeated and dismissed some of them because they didn't seem logical thus they were improbable, like in the one where Ichigo killed him in his false shikai form. Add to that Ishida's ability Antithesis, even if Juha had taken measures to block that possibility, Ishida could just reverse it and break through said measures. But yeah, all in all this fight is a mess to understand because it has reached the level of concepts which is very abstract in meaning and makes the abilities derived from them all the more versatile. The more versatile the ability is, the more difficult it should be to control and use it efficiently. Juha is a monster for being able to process so much information at once while fighting, but since it's an ability he was born with he had millenia to familiarize with it, but I'm guessing that he never fought so many high level opponents with abilities that could rival his own. Compared to that, Ichigo's ability is fairly straightforward so if not for his ridiculous base power and the help he had from other people with ridiculous concept abilities, then he would never have stood a chance. Although I know the situation could not be helped since Kubo had to conclude the series so it was kinda rushed, but I think the reason why me as well as many people were disappointed by the fight was that after all the building up for all these years we still couldn't see Ichigo at his best and even his bankai in perfect state was utterly crushed before he could even use it. Yes it shows the power of Juha Bach and Ichigo is still immature but come on he is supposed to be the single strongest being that combines the power of Shinigami, Hollow and Quincy into one, so why is his final form so easily destroyed? That was my biggest disappointment which made me say "BULLSHIT" out loud when I saw it for the first time. To be honest I grew up a lot of frustration over the years reading the story because of all the sh*t Ichigo had to go through and how convoluted his growth was when it could have been much simpler if people that knew his origins like his father and Urahara Kisuke told him everything about it. Zangetsu's protective stance against Ichigo is plausible, but I feel it took way too much time for him to open up with all the close calls that happened, and I feel he is pretty stupid thinking he shouldn't use or even have powers when trouble always come to find him first. All I can think of to justify it is the author wanted to drag it out to serve the plot, but man was it annoying to read. In my opinion, Ichigo's strength should have been transcendental enough to break through absurdity the likes of conceptual powers after going through everything he has, but guess not, maybe I watched and read too many series where protagonists become as strong as a god by the end of it. Anyways although I complain it was still an interesting series with creative ideas and breathtaking fights, so I can say I still enjoyed reading it over the years, but now I'm done with it. Thanks for reading, I'm out ✌
It's my first time viewing your channel but bro you killed it 👏👏👏👏👍💪I mean it really blow my mind how you articulated and express your ideas and views on kubo's work of art I definitely subscribe I look forward to your future work thank you so much it was so well thought out and expressed like a boss
37:10 Yhwach not being able to see the silver arrow coming is just as you said before: His Almighty ability is limited to his own intelligence and wisdom, so we can assume that he made a big mistake there by not paying attention to said arrow. At least that's what I think 🤔
12:16 no actually ichibe getting revived is linked to the SK. Anybody can revive members of the zero division by calling out their names as long as there respective palace is there.
But ichigo got all his power back before he fought ywach... when the white part of his bankai broke off ichigo absorbed them ... only issue I have with the whole video. I may have misunderstood what happened but I thought Kubo said all that. Great video
Kubo mentions that the scabbard is re absorbed by Ichigo. But the scabbard is not broken until Juha breaks it in the final clash AFTER Tsukishima. There is canonical confirmation that Tsukishima’s involvement helped redact Ichigo’s Broken Bankai but no reason to believe it returned the power Juha stole from him. I think Juha took his Quincy powers which at the time were mixed with his hollow powers (Kubo goes out of his way to draw it) and after it breaks, the “Shinigami” shines through. It’s all speculation but it’s plausible IMO
@@flameofrebirth101 shinigami power are also zampaktou power that is also his bankai power which is his hollow. His shinigami power is his hollow power man...
Amazing series. Can't wait for the conclusion! I have a little stuff to say tho. Imo the reason Juha dismissed Shikai Ichigo killing him is due to Jugram as hinted in the page. Maybe he altered his dream of future to look like something nonsensical where Shikai Ichigo slashes him in the throne room, while in actuality events were different. Also I disagree with him "losing" Hollow and Quincy powers. One of the main points of his arc is acceptance of his heritage and him just losing all of that is pretty weird. I see it in the same way as him "losing" his powers after mugetsu. He kinda did, but really not. So Juha may have absorbed not the powers itself, but the reiryoku of old man and white, to the point where Ichigo stopped feeling those parts of him.....or he really did lose them, but got them back due to Tsukishima, since as Ichigo said himself White and Old man are his zanpakuto and shinigami without a zanpakuto isn't a shinigami. I am probably wrong, but this entire plot point is so weird to me that I can't quite cope with it lmao
You know what's interesting? As far as I remember, quincy don't have reiatsu, they use the reishi around them to condense into spiritual weaponry.. so how could yhwachs reiatsu dwell within his sword? Am I missing something? For example when quilge Opie was fighting ichigo, orihime couldn't feel anything coming from quilge because the power he was using was from the reishi he absorbed, not his own power and also uryu in the earlier chapters said soul reapers use the power "within" so to speak with their reiryoku whereas quincy use the power "without" Meaning the spirit energy surrounding them to form weapons and fight. Perhaps yhwach is different because of all the souls he's reabsorbed?
99% certain that I'm wrong, but *maybe* the reason Yhwach wasn't able to see 'Still Silver arrow' is because it's kinda-sorta made of/due to auswallen/Yhawch's own power? Also, a thing to note - in the follow up novels to TYBW it's revealed that Ichigo's Quincy and Hollow powers fully returned.
Manh,this is EPIC🧡✨. I love Bleach and no one don't talk much about this anime. Because it's precious gem ,that can't be touched and felt by everyone. You did it❤️. Amazing work,brother💯. You are entertaining us, the best. Keep going manh👏. Love from India ❤️.
I kind of hope this changes the power of Ichigos Bankai. His Bankai mainly being based on speed was cool for what it did for him vs Byakuya but after that, Ichigo could never be allowed to be faster than any other enemy, simply because it would invalidate the fight.
He gets severely nerfed after every arc... We never see the true extent of his power cuz he's either always losing it or, severely gets nerfed. He'll be shown having insane speed and reflexes and won't even use it during the main battle... I hope his true bankai has a more interesting power
Man that was a banger... Great material overview making more sense of what we have... the Kubo on Time Limits version... I hope we Get More for the Finale in the Anime, you know? I want him to go wild... I wonder if the Illusion that overwrote the Almighty wasnt Aîzen's Bánkaî, and the whole point is having him SAY it would NEVER Be Heard because of the Illusion or something like that maybe? hehe Great vid right here, Rebirth!
The problem of seeing all futures is some are ghost images not a full context. The reason why he likely didn't see the arrow was he was so focused on Ichigo everyone else was ignored
I like how well articulated your explanations are. Well done. I like the fact that you pointed out that The Almighty is limited to Ywach's perception and scope of his wisdom and knowledge. They should use your explanation in the anime to avoid confusing mainstream viewers. And at the end of the day, Ywach is still human, and humans are creatures of emotions. Ywach was so obsessed so singlehandedly focused on what was in front of him that he didnt think of Uryu and the arrow. If i remember correctly, The Almighty doesnt give him omnipotence (seeing everything and everyone all at the same time)
omnipotence is being able to do anything. the word you meant to use was omniscience. And I think he pretty much has omniscience it's just that he is limited in how much of the information he gets he can work with since he can only think so fast, but doesn't really matter outcome is the same.
in the end.. the atmosphere.. the intense fighting.. its like when goku and frieze at their lowest put their hatred aside and fight side by side to take jiren which in hes strongest form out of the tournament..

I wanna know if any of my theories made sense. And if I didn’t talk about it in the video, it’s because I think It’s better served in its own video. Thanks again!!
you explaining Ywatch ability to see the sand is right, but He can effect all futures so he doesn't need to wait for someone to jump between grains. As Ywatch told ichigo he destroyed his bankai in all futures. There's also little doudles between pages showing a grain of sand, half in white and half in black, that turns to signify that action escape Ywatch's sight(as he's looking from a birds eye view and can't see the underside of the grains). DBZimran did a good job explaining it.
Thanks for the phenomenal series 🙏🙏

Please what's the name of the OST at 22:33
@@frozensphere2144 Alan Lennon. World on fire
Yhwach couldn't see Uryu's arrow because of the Antithesis. When Uryu explained his power to Haschwalth, Hasch called it magnificent and said that perhaps Uryu is the only one capable of challenging Yhwach's power and that he was right to keep him out of the battle with Yhwach. Then Ryuken brought him the stil silver and told him that he should be the one to fire it.
The actual definition of the Antithesis is not to reverse but is the inverse, meaning it's power directly opposes whatever 2 targets he designates. So it's not that Uryu chose to just reverse damage, he literally reversed "the balance". Haschwalth said the Balance was a horrible matchup for that kind of power because regardless of spontaneously reversing the fortune and misfortune in the Balance's domain, the damage inflicted on Hasch will always reverse 2 fold.
Uryu being the one to fire that arrow means that his Antithesis being used on Yhwach will make it so that he reverses the power of the Almighty, removing the futures he affects out of Yhwach's field of vision. That's why only Uryu could fire the arrow.
Thank you. I know it's not explained well in the manga but I thought people knew about this. it seems whenever the arrow is mentioned people forget about it.
What is the thematic significance of it and uryu to yhwach though? Why did kubo chose to end it this way using that power and uryu
@@jayto4949 because uryu and yhwach are the only quincy with the letter A schrifts.
And maybe he couldn't see the arrow somehow.
You're the only one who paid attention to the story and made sense of it. Instead of the same old tired argument oh it's bad because it wasn't foreshadowed 🙄 like that would be the first time that happened in a manga. Plus it technically was foreshadowed with ryuken experimenting on his wife's body but I'm sure they'll do a better job of foreshadowing it in the anime.
Two things. 1) Ishida had Antithesis, he was the counter of Almighty. His choices were always able to negate Yhwach.
2) there are two types of prophecy, those that come true because those involved are not told. And those that come true because those involved were told and tried to escape the prophecy.
Without the wisdom to separate those two, the Almighty would always have failed
want to put extra emphasis on ishida being a counter to the almighty. im am 100 percent sure that is why ishidas dad gave him the stillsilver to shoot yhwach instead of doing it himself
Can’t wait to see the movie
Orihime achieving that milestone of being able to protect Ichigo is satisfying. She has truly come a long way and is a strong character on her own at this moment, when you contrast it with herself during the Soul Society arc.
We all were waiting for that moment when Ichigo truly resonates with his powers and is confident in his abilities. This part showcases that confidence. The hype is gonna be off the charts, especially during that fight between him and those eight quincies.
When the anime is adapted, I hope they'd bring in much more coherence than what's provided in the manga. Eagerly waiting for that.
Keep up the good work! Road to 20K!
Thats what Im saying. People try to say orihime is useless but dont understand that her character’s purpose is not to be a fighter like everyone else. Her role is the healer and she knows and embraces that and she always pulls through when someone needs to recover. And now since shes finally able to protect the one she always wanted to protect, its a perfect conclusion of her development
@@z.incognito6259 Totally agreed. The fact that now she's able to protect at this point strengthens her as a character. That's legit character development.
Him getting hit by the arrow is not a plot hole, ishida's ability made it so. That's why he HAD to be the the 1 who fired the arrow.
Explain
@monke5423 the arrow itself is a grain of sand that cannot be seen by almighty or its not a grain of sand at all
@@takeoffpopeplease elaborate.
My take on it was addressed earlier in the video. He says to Ichigo that he can only see the future in his sight. The arrow wasn't fired from his sight. This statement is overly simplified, of course. By not seeing the arrow, he didn't see that grain of sand nor the chain of events that followed.
Isn’t it because the silver is made from the one who used the aushwalen? Maybe that’s a piece of the soul king and he can’t see that future…
It is good to remember how arrogant ywhach is, he believed his power was well almighty and nothing could overcome him. When he dismissed the dream of Ichigo killing him it was because of that arrogance. In the end with the still silver he was so focused on Ichigo and so thrown off from Aisen that he didn't see uryuu as a problem. There may also be an effect of the still silver possibly hiding uryuu in a sense just because he has it.
Bach reminds me of something that happened in WW2. Naval war gaming was part of training and planning for operations. In preparation for invading Midway, the Japanese naval COs had enough time to game out one battle. The game was a decisive victory for the US from a couple lucky hits from dive bombers on Japanese carries. Most of Japanese offers decided to ignore the game, dismissing it as improbable. The day of the battle comes and exactly what was gamed out happened.
Even with foresight, prudence and wisdom to use what you know is important
I’m so happy Kubo is adding a whole bunch of new elements to fill in the gaps and I have no doubt ichigo’s final battle with ywach will be extended so that we can see exactly what his true bankai can do
At least the method and how it was created will be more elaborated as Kubo hinted at so probably also how Uryu was able to get through
@@muchoyurdem5260 I also want Kubo to expand on the uryu’s power the antithesis and his overall power in general. Ywach said the sternritter would see him fight in the upcoming battles and it never happens. He doesn’t really do anything very notable with the exception of firing the arrow into ywach
@@gammafrost Yeah i fully agree.
He really didn't show much of Uryu and i remember reading this arc the first time constantly waiting for more Uryu action but it sadly never happened other than him having a fast clash with Jugram and then just shooting that arrow for a split second.
I really thought Uryu had a masterplan in mind by following Yhwach and just waiting for the right time but turns out the one with the plan was Ryuken and Uryu didn't even know about it lol.
That already shows that Kubo had probably originally other stuff in mind, but couldn't write/draw it because it would just take too much time and we know he was rushed to finish that arc sadly
@@muchoyurdem5260 yup. Also I wanted to know why ywach chose Uryu to lead knowing that he was going to betray them all along. He states Uryu has something that surpasses his own power and that’s why he was chosen. It made me think that ywach secretly wanted to take his power for himself when it was time
@@gammafrostWell there is already kinda a explanation for that but it should also def be more explained in the upcoming anime. How i interpret it is that Yhwach choose Uryu because he would be the last Quincy in the end. Yhwach explained to Uryu that he is the only Gemischt Quincy that survived the Auswählen "ever." Yhwach knew sooner or later he would absorb all other Quincys powers hence the race probably not existing after that anymore if something also happened to Yhwach.
And by calling him the next successor openly to the other Quincys literally was to avoid being betrayed by Uryu because all eyes were now on him, literally observed by all Quincys/Sternritters.
That's what makes Uryu special, especially for Yhwach, he already tried to take Uryus powers but it didn't work so i don't quite believe in the theory that Yhwach wanted to take his powers.
Time for another lesson in Kubology.
Yeah, as much as it is speculation, I can definitely see how it's all put together in a comprehensive way. I agree with how you explained why Ywach was felled, despite how overwhelmingly outclassed Ichigo had seemed to be.
He may have a lot of eyes, but obviously not enough.
Orihime's support role in the final battle and the looks she exchanged with Ichigo really foreshadows what will happen between them in the postwar world. It's heartwarming and badass of Orihime to put herself in such danger for the man she loves. Their relationship truly began here as they saved the worlds.
"Their relationship truly began here" which I think is the whole problem with why so many people weren't really receptive of the ending
I didn't have any preferences for ships with Ichigo, but even I thought it was a bit odd
She's had a crush on him ever since the beginning of the Hueco Mundo arc.
@@rai4119 if u understand ichigo then it makes sense. they were both angsty teens that was dealing with insecurities, no wonder its not actually weird for them to get together yrs later. if its a romance manga i would agree with you but its not, it still makes sense tho, even miles better than some shonen like naruto for example lol
21:43 I just gotta say, Ichigo and Orihime in this fight are like two long time, max leveled, maxed stat MMORPG players who mastered their classes they chose and know all their key attacks and combos, and know when to heal, when to defend, putting complete trust in one another knowing that the other is there for them.. honest this is like a beautiful dance between Ichigo and Orihime..
(It's funny how I used to be an IchigoxRukia shipper, but now I'm all for Ichigo and Orihime, Ichigo and Rukia act more like siblings where it was VERY LIGHTLY hinted in the beginning that Ichigo liked Orihime and Orihime liked Ichigo. And obviously it would be Orihime and Ichigo since you know.. THEY HAVE HISTORY TOGETHER, same with Rengi and Rukia.. xD)
39:41 To add to this idea of Yawachs Intelligence and dismissing the dream he had of Ichigo killing him in his old Shiki form, something evident with having vast knowledge and intelligence is Arrogance and Pride, by Yawachs Arrogance and Pride he dismissed the dream he had. His pride didn't necessarily blind him, but his arrogance had him convinced that he had everything figured out cause he could see the "possible" futures, I think as well that Yawach even though he felt Ichigos strength still looked down on Ichigo and saw him as lesser due to his own pride.
I still like rukia better though.
@@RustyDockLight to each their own.
@@RustyDockLightthis wasn’t the point of the comment
You make the last battle sound so much better than it does. You got a talent for narration.
My head canon for why Yhwach did not see ishida hitting him with the arrow is that due to the arrow disabling his abilities momentarily it prevented him from seeing that particular future or 'grain of sand' at all. As in that future he would not have his almighty power.
Just a guess though
Honestly makes a lot of sense to me. Radar can’t show you something is coming if the radar is off. (Probably a bad comparison)
+ Uryu's A which counters Almighty as said by Jugram
His A ability was said to counter and be on par with the Almighty. He can revert any changes thrown on himself and put those changes on his opponent. Any Change to the future to kill Ishida would be nullified and possibly put on Yuha. But Ishida’s A is not to revert but to inverse. Hack abilities will not effect him. He does not just revert any change done to him but reverses any ability and opposes it. This would make it so he could not be seen by the almighty when Ishida uses it. Which he had it activated before he arrived.
I wonder though if he could see everything leading up to the moment he gets hit with the arrow
@@joshuacadebarber8992 no for that cheap shot 😋
Ok so 2 things. I think the "dream" jugram was showing Yhwach was the very future that happened at the end of the story, and Yhwach chose to ignore it out of ignorance and ego. Secondly, I think the reason the arrow wasn't forseen by Yhwach is because it's made from still silver. Yhwach couldn't perceive the arrow becuz he ignored that future. Yhwach was tainted from absorbing everyone through aushwalen so the arrow worked on him because it's made from the silver of quincy hearts. Seems pretty logical to me, considering Ryuken was the only pure quincy left and dissected people constantly. Also a fitting end for Yhwach as he died from the people he was using as well. Not to mention it tying into his themes of fear and death.
Overall, could it have been executed better? 1000%. But if you really dive deep into like you did, I think it makes sense. There so many factors that go into this fight so I can easily see why this vid was frustrating to make lol. Nontheless, great vid man! Looking forward to the last video of the series!
God I can't wait to see all of this animated.
This is an excellent breakdown and really highlights how well written that fight actually was. You have pointed out that Ichigo isn't even at his full potential and other powers that he can potentially manifest in the future! I love it! Thank you so much for this breakdown. I had to immediately share and start talking to my friends about the things we missed that you pointed out. Keep up the good work! I always love to hear others perspective on the series, and especially Ichigo!
I think that when tsukishima changed the past it also changed the past where ichigo lost his Quincy and hollow powers , so when yhwach died ichigo actually had all of his powers. The reason sheath of his bankai breaks is because yhwach cracked his bankai in last battle with aizen and yhwach
That wasn’t Ichigo tho. Ichigo doesn’t ACTUALLY show up till the last page where he stabs Juha from behind.
@@flameofrebirth101 but aizen quotes further that it was in his benefit that ichigo was immune to kyokutsu suigetsu, if ichigo really did pulled up afterwards why would aizen say something like that ? Imo ichigo and renji did come when they were shown to be but then aizen used kyoka suigetsu to switch places with ichigo so that he could land a clear hit . So yhwach damaging ichigo's bankai in this fight is a possibility
@@ikuzo5847 The Light Novel Can’t fear your own world tells us Ichigo regained his Quincy powers shortly after Yuha’s death.
@@Edmitsu ohh haven't read the LN so I didn't know
Yes
It *is* very strange that Yhwach couldn't see the future of himself being shot with the Still Silver Arrow but we DID have a prior moment of Yhwach being unable to see an action taking place: Mimihagi coming to hold the Soul King together. What connection those two have to do with each other is pretty much nothing I guess, other than that they both are "objects" of power that come directly from Soul King-level individuals (the Soul King and Yhwach).
Can't look into a future where you're not omniscient anymore I guess
I love Ichigo's fused zankpaktou transformation and how it symbolizes how he's accepted both sides of his power fully accepting himself and his identity it's good stuff.
Great videos as always, found your channel last year and my favorite video you've done is "the blade is me" video it's amazing
man you did an amazing job recapping that fight. I know that couldn't have been easy.
That break down at the end was Masterful, i can see how much work you put into this heo💯💯💯very inspirational for my growing channel
You did good breaking this down… his power up is crazy… can’t be compared
I lived in Japan for five years. It's very common to give distance in time. I lived outside Tokyo and everyone told me how far things were by travel time. Their public transportation is the most accurate/on-time in the world. Therefore, it makes sense when you live there and you are planning your trip to wherever. Good stuff btw, really good.
I love how you put all of this together, dude. Props to you! I’m sure if Kubo ever gets to watch this, he’s definitely gonna be proud. 🎉👏
Ichigo has no pure shinigami power, his hollow and shinigami powers are one. That's pretty clear when you look at white as his assauchi. White has always been zangetsu, and is ichigo's hollow and shinigami powers fused together. The only way for this to be false, would be ichigo having another spirit within him that represented his shinigami powers, which he doesn't have.
Considering this to be true, there are 2 possible theorys for his powers.
Ichigo didn't lose completly loose them:
we see ichigo losing his powers 2 times before this(mugetsu and ginjo), and in both cases his powers weren't gone. We see ginjo steal ichigo's fullbring completly, to the point where he can't even see ghosts, and yet there they are when gains his shinigami powers back(mugetsu did the same). So i would assume that you can take ichigo's powers, but as long as the core is there, he can recover them.
And as said, his hollow powers are his shinigami powers. So zangetsu only exists if he still has the powers to back it.
The other is theory is that tsukishima intefered in the past and made so his powers were not stolen. I don't think it's the case, but the outcome is the same. Ichigo wouldn't even be able to hurt anyone, let alone fire a getsugatensho without his powers.
Perhaps being a perfect hybrid, ichigo's powers can always be restored since every power is sort of linked to the others. He'll always have his human side, perhaps ichigo himself is the representation of his shinigami powers. Or it's tenza zangetsu which just looks quincy to me
Plus, Kubo said in his fan club Q&A that if Ichigo wanted to, he could split his sword back into two blades again, since he absorbed the broken white sheathe of his Bankai when he struck down Yhwach. And each blade represents his Shingami/Hollow powers and his Quincy powers. So he definitely still has them.
Your second theory is correct. The bankai was restored, so powers back. Simple.
Now that I think of it. I wish Renji and Bazz-B had a fleshed out fight. I feel like they have similar characteristics
I gotta say your videos makes me love ichigo and bleach Soo much more and as a Naruto fan I don't know which i like more😅...
Embrace the kubology
Both is good
You know its the same with me when I cant choose who I like more Meliodas ,Naruto or Ichigo
First, I was never an IchigoXOrihime fan. I did know early on that it would happen, but I still wasn't a fan of it. That said, your explanation of this final battle actually has made a lot more sense out of what was shown. Thank you for that, because it does show that Yhaw was fallible, which led to his end. The first time I read this battle, since a lot of it left me confused, the whole fight felt almost like a fever dream.
Also, something that I just thought of, in the aspect of the Soul Reaper and their Zanpakutou are one, possibly the best example of this would be Azien, since he no longer has a Zanpakutou blade, yet still able to use it's abilities. Would others be able to do this? While most do rely more on the sword aspect of their Zanpakutou, would it be impossible for them to get to such a level that Azien made it to? If I've made some error with this, do let me know. My understanding of certain things can be lacking at times, but I do think this would be an interesting topic.
For instance, Rukia. She basically makes cold. Don't need a sword to do that. So would it be possible for her to loose the need for the blade and just keep the abilities? Because if that is the case, then the Zanpakutous could been almost like training wheels to help unlock your power and abilities and to help you learn them. The Zanpoakutou could just be a medium that pulls those powers out of you. For example (changing to Marvel) Thor's hammer was just meant to help Thor channel his powers, not give them to him. Hopefully this makes sense and there isn't 100s of videos about this out there already.
The final battle is basically why as awesome as Kubo is, it gets ridiclous how the main villain always has some mind-bending ability starting with Aizen. In fact, I find it beyond stupid Juha can just deny Ichigo access to his True Bankai since the whole point of this arc is give us a show that rivals Mugetsu, Fullbring Bankai, and Hell Armor in awesomeness and there's a reason most anime and manga don't violate the "never interrupt transformations" rule: It'd be boring if they could get interuptted like this were happening in real life.
Thanks for this video, I see this fight in a more positive light now. It was compelling enough for me to go ahead and subscribe. I hope they make ywhach's pitfalls more apparent in the anime. I also hope they show ichigo's bankai in action, maybe as one of the futures ywhach saw, before he breaks the sword.
Just for more context on the Ichigo bankai being shattered into OG Zangetsu, Kubo confirmed that the white part or sheath that shattered away were the powers that Ywach stole. After the blade/sheath broke, the powers were reabsorbed back into Ichigo. So for those curious, yes he reobtained his Quincy/Hollow powers.
I believe that the unsheathed bankai isn’t the true form of his bankai the white sheath is what ichigos true bankai is supposed to look like
Well put together mate!! Great delivery! Keep it up.
First of all I'd like to say that was a very well made video. Not only the editing but your attention to detail and research. I can tell you really put your heart into. I especially love your heartwarming message at the end during the recap. It was honestly beautiful.
Secondly I'd like to add/question is about Ichigo's true power. From my understanding (and by all means I'm no expert, just an accumulation of my understanding plus other's theories and such) the reason Yhwach "feared" Ichigo's true bankai abilities were because they were similar to his own in the almighty. He even says so himself how it is unlike his own powers. The true power Ichigo has (which ties in a lot of things from throughout the whole story from the beginning) is to "change fate". In essence all the times he is getting stomped and something happens, whether it be someone calling out, a flash back, something the enemy does, he always makes some kind of statement about having to win, or is going to win, etc... In doing so he is literally altering the future by willing a change of fate into existence. It is also why the people closest to him gained powers to not only fight alongside him, but to aid him in protecting others because that is who he is. The Protector. It also blends in why Orihime is The Princess (multiple underlying references throughout the story) and why she is with him at the end to protect him. He depends on her for motivation and a reason to move forward and so she is granted the ability to be able to protect him so that he can protect others.
I will add that his ability to "change fate" isn't exactly like the almighty. That is why Ywhach says it is SIMILAR to it because he truly understands it which is why he fears the full power of Ichigo's true bankai and takes precautions. The almighty essentially grants Ywhach to ALTER the future by potential options made by choices from various factors. While on the other hand, Ichigo's ability to "change fate" is more deeply interwoven and reactionary than premeditated. It literally alters the course of the future in the moment as opposed to precautionary actions taken ahead of time.
Just my thoughts I wanted to share but I still want to go back and say again that this was a really made video and I absolutely loved it and hope everyone else has the opportunity to see it as well!
True poetry there. Throughout this series you have Brought us to a closer understanding Ichigo's Character and what a represents, Which isn't too difficult in fact it's summed up in the very word that we hear in the end, Courage. Ichigo's Entire journey has been one of Constant battles with insurmountable odds with the High chance of defeat or death Yet he faces them anyway. Which is courage summed up to its core. Courage is not about being brave or confident, it's about knowing that you're afraid but willing to move forward anyway. Yhweah who only knew of confidence had no courage, Because he had the Almighty ability that gave him certainty of which road he Needed to take so there was no fear to overcome. I think he chose not to act on that vision because if he did he would be acknowledging his fear of death.
I also have my own interpretation Of how the Almighty failed Yhweah and how Ishida managed to pierce Yhweah without him knowing it. I like to imagine that Yhweah Is that our glass and his Almighty is the sand, With the combination of book of the end and Azien's Zanpoto He basically became an empty hourglass the hourglass because basically at the moment the past of Ichigo's Bankai Was re written everything was reset, For there to be a future there has to be a past, and if the past is reset every future gets reset and with Azien's ability he could not see those news futures, meaning he could not see Ishida hitting him with that arrow.
First video I watched from you. Phase 5 was an amazing summary and gave chills down my spine. This was well summarized!! Thank you! :) Definitely subscribed.
Aye! Thank you, brother!
I didnt realise how much I didn't understand about what was going on in that final battle. Good job understanding it and explain what was going on
when tsukishima created a new past it also restored ichigo's hollow and quincy. I believe kubo confirmed it on his club(the same place he explained about the sword and scabbard). kubo also said that ichigo absorbed the broken bankai scabbard. right now ichigo can choose either single blade or duel blades, meaning he has access to hollow and quincy powers
Thank you so much for the breakdown. This final battle confused the heck out of me at times. I reread the chapter a few time and i felt dumb lol. Youre one of the few channels that broke it down perfectly
A great analysis once again👏👏👏
But still, if Ichigo's shingami powers are made of and came from both Hollow and qun, and they are both absorbed (although they gets them back in the future according to the novels and the hell chapter), then what is his pure shingami power are made of (I know he gets it from his dad), and if he now he had a pure shingami powers, will he still be able to use both Shiro and Koru Zangetsu souls? Or he will get a new soul entirely for his pure power? Wouldn't that makes him have 3 souls (once his powers are back)?
We need an answer plz.
If you think about it, Kuba kinda explain what happened to Ichigo zanpakutou.
But in my opinion and my opinion alone, kubo could have explained everything better if he had the time and if he didn't, with everything that Ichigo have gained through this arc, Ichigo and hear me out...... could've discovered the 3rd release of Zanpakutou wich would have made him even more busted 🤣🤣🤣🤣.
Wow this video give me less answers but made me asks more questions 😅
Ps: was the diary of Jean playing in the back ground, I miss those days 😢
His true shinigami power is forever fused with the hollow white that became zangetsu inside of him, that's why his name is zangetsu now instead of white who was intertwined with masaki and whom isshin protected her against for 20 years.
@@Oromanowarful so when white got absorbed, wich white are we talking about, the one who is born with Ichigo or the one who fused with his mom?
Because to me, it always confused me, was white transferd to Ichigo upon birth or a new white was born with Ichigo? Because Ichigo dad didn't get his powers back until white awaken fully in the fight against byakuya.
Wich lead to another question, if white was in Ichigo before his mother death why isshen didn't get his powers earlier since his wife died and there is no need for him to keep holding white back if all white wants is to live and protect his and Ichigo's life?
@@hashem1990rko I can't say I have all the answers but I'll try, when ichigo was born it's possible white fused with the latent shinigami power that lied dormant within ichigo and grew stronger until ichigo called out zangetsu.
When the old man quincy was controlling that power and letting it out little by little, the sword ichigo had, before his true zangetsu (dual sword) was a creation of the quincy inside of him, utilizing the power of zangetsu (the spirit of white combined with the shinigami powers inherited by isshin) but it wasn't created with an asauchi so it was never a true zanpakuto and therefore ichigo was never actually utilizing his potential as a shinigami until he reformed zangetsu as the dual swords. When the inner yhwach told ichigo here is the true zangetsu, I think he meant he was giving control over all his innate powers over to ichigo and relinquishing his control over zangetsu and ichigos power releases. Ichigo had a connection to both white zangetsu and his inner yhwach so he desired to have a sword that represented both spirits that lived inside him that protected him along his way.
To the original question, his shinigami power is the combination of his hollow combined with the original power he got from isshin which boosted his original potential, but he also had quincy power from his mother, and her spirit was bonded to white in a way as well so it's possible that the old man was a representation of masakis will to protect ichigo that she passed onto him when white was transferred onto ichigo when he was born. This is just a theory but who knows?
Also I feel like the reason his shihakushou in true shikai has white and black trim on his bottom half is because the black is for the shinigami robe, with the white being representative of a quincy uniform like uryu, ryuuken, haschwalth and all the quincy, they wear white uniforms, his shoulder pauldron reminds me of isshins captain robe design element with the straps reminding me of some of his fullbring design elements all in one outfit.
Also him having access to both a quincy zangetsu sword and a hollow/shinigami sword, he can counter any enemy known thus far by letting either sword absorb or be affected by different types of reiatsu like when he fought yhwach, the quincy reiatsu woke up zangetsu(hollow) and awoke his hollow powers/reiatsu which are more effective against quincy than other types as described when kisuke and mayuri discussed the enmity between the quincy and hollows, hollow reiatsu is poisonous to quincy, and shows why ichigo being a combination of all of those forces is able to defeat virtually anyone, even yhwach stated it was ichigo who dealt the deathblow to the real soul king, so maybe one has to have the same reiatsu type as the soul king in order to be able to kill him? Anyways hope this was helpful food for thought.
@@hashem1990rko because isshin was trying to hold back the hollow that was transferred to ichigo but he became stronger living inside ichigo fused with ichigos power, which is why he stomped ulquiorra when ichigo got killed and zangetsu took over his body, because white, (who had fought isshin 20 years prior) was nowhere near that level of strength when he fought isshin, when kisuke saved masakis life by binding her spirit with isshins, it allowed isshins spirit to hinder the influence the hollow reiatsu would've had on masakis soul which would've caused her to die. But once she had ichigo, white fused with that shinigami power and grew stronger as ichigo grew stronger and his inner quincy helped as well by creating a sword for ichigo to use since ichigo never had an asauchi before his royal court guard training. Meaning his bankai wasn't truly a bankai it was just the old man releasing a little more of ichigos true inner power to the equivalent level of a bankais power and speed. Ichigo himself said that zangetsu takes his reiatsu and compresses it to enhance his slashing or cutting ability when using the first zangetsu. Ichigo finally learned the truth about himself and accepted that he was not responsible for masakis death and that he was a quincy along with having white become zangetsu inside of him when white fused with his shinigami powers, so when he found his asauchi as soon as he touched it, it imprinted the strengthened spirit white to become the first real zangetsu since there was a sword for the spirit to imprint on, but ichigo also felt like the inner quincy was also zangetsu and poured that strength into the asauchi as well during the forging process and divided them into two swords from one asauchi, each having the two different spirits that had lived inside of him.
The arrow actually makes a lot more sense than people seem to think. It's an arrow that knocks out his power so in any future he's hit by the arrow his power isn't working so he doesn't see that possibility. He probably saw futures where he avoided the arrow or Ichigo didn't kill him in the brief moment he was vulnerable and the Almighty kicks back in.
Amazing! I have been waiting for this for days! And it was worth it!
Thank you my g, how are you not having more than 1 mil sub? This is gigguk level of stuff, damn.
The best Kubology 101 Lecturer there is !!!!
So much love from Nigeria ❤️
I just realised from the short clip near the end of this video!
The shikai manifestation of Zangetsu looks like mature Yuha Bach.
And the bankai manifestation of Tensa Zangetsu seems reminiscent of young Yuha Bach! Interesting indeed! Thanks for this video, Flame of Rebirth
THAT LAST EXPLANATION OF HOW "WE" GET BACK TO ORIGINAL SHIKAI ZANPAKUTO WAS FIRE! At least, to me, this makes all the sense in the world. THANK YOU For such great analysis and content.
I've heard a theory that just like the Almighty's power is not able to see the future of the Mimihagi or the Soul King, there is a property in still silver that was beyond his precognitive abilities. It is said the Mimihagi governs "stillness": meaning it can prevent change. If that's the case, then still silver, also known as "silver of stillness" could potentially have had the same effect on Yhwach of completely nullifying his ability to see a future with the person who carries that property.
Having Aizen say the courage line is amazing. Kubo gives us a hint to us Aizen know's he was misguided and knows why death matters and Aizen might have looked evil but might not be the whole story
That was beautiful! Thank you for your time!
Big parallel with Ichigo breaking the Sougyoku during the rescue arc.
I took it to mean the Almighty could view all grains of possibilities inside the present moment, but having his past rewritten by Tsukishima was the equivalent of removing the grain of sand Ichigo was on from the hourglass. This relies on whether or not the Almighty is a continual toggled power or a trigger technique.
If it is a trigger technique and he didn't bother to recheck Ichigo's immediate future after his grain was removed, then he would have effectively been searching for a grain of sand that no longer existed. This would not have been true if the Almighty was a toggled power.
some forget that hollow powers are poison for quincy so he toke the quincy and hollow powers essentially poisoning him self without realizing it
I love how fitting it is for Aizen to give a speech about braving death because he's immortal now.
Merged Tensa Zangetsu is the form that taught him the final getsuga tensho. When they fused, they told him that they are one and that ordinarily the two of them make one because they are both his power. Zangetsu also told Ichigo that him and OMZ have always been one and they share the same body. I think when he went bankai against Yhwach, Merged Tensa Zangetsu was formed again. When Yhwach stole his hollow and quincy powers, Ichigo said the quincy power inside of him and the hollow power that was mixed with it is disappearing into white. The powers were combined at this time because he was in bankai. So when this happened, his shinigami powers remained but Merged Tensa Zangetsu represents all of his powers so even without the quincy and hollow power, this zanpakuto spirit should still remain as well.
Is that why his quincy and hollow powers returned in the light novel?
You're sort of wrong about that ending Bach attempts to move himself to a different future and we jump forward to that future seeing a piece of Juha Bach try to "infect" the child of Ichigo & Orihime but the kid seems to crush it with his hand, then were introduced to the kid's friend the child of Rukia & Renji
I’ve read TYBW countless times, I NEVER noticed Ichigo’s blood mixing w getsuga to create the Gran Ray Getsuga. Very cool find bro!
Aye you Did that my guy worth the wait for sure 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
... I finally somewhat understand the absolute cluster the final arc was. huh. cheers man, can finally put that part of my childhood behind me
Another GREAT Video! But I don't really agree on what you said for the Almighty. Yhwach being able to place traps long before Ichigo even came and being able to "probably" choose a path of a future in which his Bankai just splits in half is (imo) reason enough to think that Yhwach actually CAN see every possible future and choose them. He is also able to rewrite the future in which he has died, meaning he can not only choose one possible future, but he can rewrite those at will. That atleast would be plausible and explain how he was overwhelming the others. The silver Arrow stuff still doesn't make much sense, I mean the Antithesis is kind of a counter, but still. I guess it was Yhwach's ignorance (like you said in the video) that led to his defeat, I hope they handle this better in the anime. But overall I don't think it's as bas as some people claim it to be
Ur passion to breakdown key factor in bleach is unmatch.
I'm a firm believer that at the end of the day, Uryu used the Antithesis to negate the future where Ywach dodged the stillsilver arrow and used it again to negate the future where Ywach was able to counter Ichigo's (semi) fatal blow.
Your interpretation of this story was spot-on and awesome! Thank you for this!
You’re right about the sand theory.
I just wish it all 5 war potentials vs Ycwbach ( Stolen Commander Yamamota Bankai ) in all.
I just wanted to say I appreciate how much effort you put into these videos! The editing is superb!
A personal note about Ichigo controlling weather with his emotions. Whenever I get depressed, it rains, And It has happened this way for the last 28 years that I have been able to observe the phenomena. I'm 32. Most people can't remember that far back. I fully believe that Ichigo has this ability. Think about it. Everytime he's depressed in the world of living too, it also rains there.
On a separate note, Still looking forward to get that shirt.
best bleach content in the business tbh
@Flame of Rebirth. Please what's the soundtrack played at 22:33 ? I need that so badly!
Lol
How you remember all of these things amazes me, despite the snark this video was put together pretty well and i can happily tell you that i am so excited about the shows return. More in depth analysis of different faucets of the series is important and i hope the good work continues.
It's actually surprising how can you find so many things about 1 character. Like, yeah. He's the protagonist, he's op, he has to live, he has secret powers. But this? It's kinda better than just an op character
Yay!! This video was so great! Thanks for making youtube videos Flame of Rebirth!✅
My 1st time seeing one of your videos. I think Kubo had so much planned for this arc, that when he was told BLEACH was over and he had a ridiculously short time frame to finish. It seems like he may have come up with this part 1st, working backwards. Great video, subbing now.
About Juha Bach's ability, I agree with most of what you said. It is a truly powerful ability, but it is limited by his own perception and intellect. But here is my take: if you think about it, future possibilities are almost endless. So I'm guessing that Juha has to filter all these grains to select a few most probable ones based on his experience. So he doesn't see Ichigo switching from a grain of sand to the other, he chooses which futures are most likely to happen and acts on it in advance. And if he sees a future has a high probability of happening that is disadvantageous for him, he can directly alter that grain of sand by overwriting it with another one, like the case where he revived after being killed. But since he still relies on his own senses and judgement to use this power, then he is still prone to making mistakes and being toyed with by abilities like Aizen's which is the most powerful illusion that can even modify reality itself. I think the reason he couldn't see Ishida's arrow was because he was overwhelmed by all the possibilities where he could be defeated and dismissed some of them because they didn't seem logical thus they were improbable, like in the one where Ichigo killed him in his false shikai form. Add to that Ishida's ability Antithesis, even if Juha had taken measures to block that possibility, Ishida could just reverse it and break through said measures.
But yeah, all in all this fight is a mess to understand because it has reached the level of concepts which is very abstract in meaning and makes the abilities derived from them all the more versatile. The more versatile the ability is, the more difficult it should be to control and use it efficiently. Juha is a monster for being able to process so much information at once while fighting, but since it's an ability he was born with he had millenia to familiarize with it, but I'm guessing that he never fought so many high level opponents with abilities that could rival his own. Compared to that, Ichigo's ability is fairly straightforward so if not for his ridiculous base power and the help he had from other people with ridiculous concept abilities, then he would never have stood a chance.
Although I know the situation could not be helped since Kubo had to conclude the series so it was kinda rushed, but I think the reason why me as well as many people were disappointed by the fight was that after all the building up for all these years we still couldn't see Ichigo at his best and even his bankai in perfect state was utterly crushed before he could even use it. Yes it shows the power of Juha Bach and Ichigo is still immature but come on he is supposed to be the single strongest being that combines the power of Shinigami, Hollow and Quincy into one, so why is his final form so easily destroyed? That was my biggest disappointment which made me say "BULLSHIT" out loud when I saw it for the first time. To be honest I grew up a lot of frustration over the years reading the story because of all the sh*t Ichigo had to go through and how convoluted his growth was when it could have been much simpler if people that knew his origins like his father and Urahara Kisuke told him everything about it. Zangetsu's protective stance against Ichigo is plausible, but I feel it took way too much time for him to open up with all the close calls that happened, and I feel he is pretty stupid thinking he shouldn't use or even have powers when trouble always come to find him first. All I can think of to justify it is the author wanted to drag it out to serve the plot, but man was it annoying to read. In my opinion, Ichigo's strength should have been transcendental enough to break through absurdity the likes of conceptual powers after going through everything he has, but guess not, maybe I watched and read too many series where protagonists become as strong as a god by the end of it.
Anyways although I complain it was still an interesting series with creative ideas and breathtaking fights, so I can say I still enjoyed reading it over the years, but now I'm done with it. Thanks for reading, I'm out ✌
It's my first time viewing your channel but bro you killed it 👏👏👏👏👍💪I mean it really blow my mind how you articulated and express your ideas and views on kubo's work of art I definitely subscribe I look forward to your future work thank you so much it was so well thought out and expressed like a boss
She is indeed in the top 5!
37:10 Yhwach not being able to see the silver arrow coming is just as you said before: His Almighty ability is limited to his own intelligence and wisdom, so we can assume that he made a big mistake there by not paying attention to said arrow. At least that's what I think 🤔
I haven't read these chapters for a long long time... thanks for the recap
12:16 no actually ichibe getting revived is linked to the SK. Anybody can revive members of the zero division by calling out their names as long as there respective palace is there.
Epic video always happy when you release one
I really love the way you deliver your words, sir, beautiful? Truly is. Perfect!
But ichigo got all his power back before he fought ywach... when the white part of his bankai broke off ichigo absorbed them ... only issue I have with the whole video. I may have misunderstood what happened but I thought Kubo said all that. Great video
Kubo mentions that the scabbard is re absorbed by Ichigo. But the scabbard is not broken until Juha breaks it in the final clash AFTER Tsukishima. There is canonical confirmation that Tsukishima’s involvement helped redact Ichigo’s Broken Bankai but no reason to believe it returned the power Juha stole from him. I think Juha took his Quincy powers which at the time were mixed with his hollow powers (Kubo goes out of his way to draw it) and after it breaks, the “Shinigami” shines through. It’s all speculation but it’s plausible IMO
@@flameofrebirth101 shinigami power are also zampaktou power that is also his bankai power which is his hollow.
His shinigami power is his hollow power man...
Visionary! You are the bomb for helping our boy out!
😘😘
Very well done. Your narrator skills were top notch telling this story
Amazing series. Can't wait for the conclusion!
I have a little stuff to say tho.
Imo the reason Juha dismissed Shikai Ichigo killing him is due to Jugram as hinted in the page. Maybe he altered his dream of future to look like something nonsensical where Shikai Ichigo slashes him in the throne room, while in actuality events were different.
Also I disagree with him "losing" Hollow and Quincy powers. One of the main points of his arc is acceptance of his heritage and him just losing all of that is pretty weird. I see it in the same way as him "losing" his powers after mugetsu. He kinda did, but really not. So Juha may have absorbed not the powers itself, but the reiryoku of old man and white, to the point where Ichigo stopped feeling those parts of him.....or he really did lose them, but got them back due to Tsukishima, since as Ichigo said himself White and Old man are his zanpakuto and shinigami without a zanpakuto isn't a shinigami. I am probably wrong, but this entire plot point is so weird to me that I can't quite cope with it lmao
You know what's interesting? As far as I remember, quincy don't have reiatsu, they use the reishi around them to condense into spiritual weaponry.. so how could yhwachs reiatsu dwell within his sword? Am I missing something?
For example when quilge Opie was fighting ichigo, orihime couldn't feel anything coming from quilge because the power he was using was from the reishi he absorbed, not his own power and also uryu in the earlier chapters said soul reapers use the power "within" so to speak with their reiryoku whereas quincy use the power "without" Meaning the spirit energy surrounding them to form weapons and fight.
Perhaps yhwach is different because of all the souls he's reabsorbed?
You’re like Alexir and DBZimran, all your content is really top tier bleach stuff.
99% certain that I'm wrong, but *maybe* the reason Yhwach wasn't able to see 'Still Silver arrow' is because it's kinda-sorta made of/due to auswallen/Yhawch's own power?
Also, a thing to note - in the follow up novels to TYBW it's revealed that Ichigo's Quincy and Hollow powers fully returned.
Manh,this is EPIC🧡✨. I love Bleach and no one don't talk much about this anime. Because it's precious gem ,that can't be touched and felt by everyone. You did it❤️. Amazing work,brother💯. You are entertaining us, the best. Keep going manh👏. Love from India ❤️.
I kind of hope this changes the power of Ichigos Bankai. His Bankai mainly being based on speed was cool for what it did for him vs Byakuya but after that, Ichigo could never be allowed to be faster than any other enemy, simply because it would invalidate the fight.
He gets severely nerfed after every arc... We never see the true extent of his power cuz he's either always losing it or, severely gets nerfed. He'll be shown having insane speed and reflexes and won't even use it during the main battle... I hope his true bankai has a more interesting power
Great Job Rebirth,can't wait for Hell Arc Ichigo explained.Keep up great work
Making sure I comment because this is actually good content
Wish Isshin and Ryuuken got not only 🍵 a team battle but a huge individual battle.
Speaking of Candice’s arm, I wonder how the new anime will handle the more extreme moments and if censorship will make them weird.
Man that was a banger...
Great material overview making more sense of what we have... the Kubo on Time Limits version...
I hope we Get More for the Finale in the Anime, you know? I want him to go wild...
I wonder if the Illusion that overwrote the Almighty wasnt Aîzen's Bánkaî, and the whole point is having him SAY it would NEVER Be Heard because of the Illusion or something like that maybe? hehe
Great vid right here, Rebirth!
i’m so excited that bleach is coming back 🫶🏾
The problem of seeing all futures is some are ghost images not a full context. The reason why he likely didn't see the arrow was he was so focused on Ichigo everyone else was ignored
I like how well articulated your explanations are. Well done. I like the fact that you pointed out that The Almighty is limited to Ywach's perception and scope of his wisdom and knowledge. They should use your explanation in the anime to avoid confusing mainstream viewers. And at the end of the day, Ywach is still human, and humans are creatures of emotions. Ywach was so obsessed so singlehandedly focused on what was in front of him that he didnt think of Uryu and the arrow. If i remember correctly, The Almighty doesnt give him omnipotence (seeing everything and everyone all at the same time)
omnipotence is being able to do anything. the word you meant to use was omniscience. And I think he pretty much has omniscience it's just that he is limited in how much of the information he gets he can work with since he can only think so fast, but doesn't really matter outcome is the same.
in the end.. the atmosphere.. the intense fighting.. its like when goku and frieze at their lowest put their hatred aside and fight side by side to take jiren which in hes strongest form out of the tournament..
Love your explanation!!! I really enjoy this video. Thank you
Antithesis actually explains why he got hit by the arrow
I stretched before and after this video and still wasn’t prepared
But I’m all seriousness this was a GAS video (as usual) thank you
WOW!! This was a great break down. Definitely got a follower out of me.
this was beautiful. thank you for this.
