Kubo was a certified genius with all this foreshadowing. I can still remember when Ichigo first met Zangetsu and he asked his name, it was bleeped out.

@@allenhollow9007It's a fact, Kubo himself told it. I wonder when Kubo came up with the name Ywhach, but in the anime the name was distorted (English dub on the other hand... they f'd it up). But the distorted name's end sounded like 'ha" as in Yuuhabaha"
White over 150 episodes ago: "I told you, I'm Zangetsu" 💀 The look, plus same VA of Old Man Zangetsu, it was there, but the animators made a voluntary error in this part. In the flashbacks of episodes 6-7 they drew Yhwach a 1000 years ago like he's now in order to not spoil this reveal, but then they fixed his appearance in the BD version.
The blade is me is definetely the best line in all of Bleach and one of the best lines in all of anime. Just beautiful storytelling and forshadowing. Everything came togheter so fucking good man. We had all the answers in front of us and we just didnt know how to look at them. Ever since Ichigo first trained with Urahara and came back as a hollowfied Soul Reaper we were shown the true nature of his powers
Yeah, its always been talked about how the Zanpaktou is simultaneously a separate soul yet also your own soul. The Asauchi is merely an empty container for your own souls inner powers to manifest in the real world. It IS you, the power of your own soul given a vessel to influence the real world.
The WILDEST thing about the blade is me aside from the reveal and the top tier emotions is how Aizen was fucking right again. When he fought Dangai Ichigo he mentioned how the blades were rising into their hands and how, “perhaps this is the true form of the Zanpakto” Ichigo through reforging and Aizen through the Hōgyoku are now the only 2 characters we know of that have reached this “final” state of zanpakto where “the blade is me”. Hence why their swords disappeared but they can summon them at any time The blade is me is in my opinion, one of the best moments. It really brought everything closer from the beginning.
Blade is me is so well written. Its encompasses Ichigo's journey of self realisation and self acceptance and he's finally able to attain balance and peace within himself.
@@kedim8131 He said it without Ichigo even being there, to 'Zangetsu'. His hollow had always wanted to take him over. I don't even know when it stopped. Seems like since he lost his Shinigami powers and regained them against Ginjo the hollow was silent/docile.
@@Elzzaw that not true his hollow did not want to take him over, he wanted to protect him. It's why he aways come to his rescue when he was about to die. Case in point: when he protect ichigo withe the mask with kenpachi, or against ulquiorra. It is what the horse methopher is meant to represent. Or why he was ok with final getsuga tenshou. And he had are a lot of moment where he counld have taken over ichigo's body but whenever he does he gave it back.

here is a fun fact if you look back at the Mugetsu Form from his fight against Aizen Long Black Hair, Red Hairs, Wrapped in Schatten... the Mugetsu Slash being all Schatten again... That was the Maximum amount of Qunicy Powers he could draw... that was Yhwach's power
And he lost his powers like ishida did after attaining a similar but weaker form of power by taking off his glove in soul society against mayuri ... In both cases, it was like ichigo and ishida's version of a Vollständig that the stern ritters use (but not perfected since the stern ritters don't lose their powers using it) And like ishida, his powers came back ==> Everything fits together
if u go back to 1st episode in ichigo bed the sheets have a quincy cross In the first episode we got hinted about him being a quincy bleach foreshadowing is highly underrated
This is (sadly) very likely to be a coincidence, the misconception having been spread by the running gag in Bleach Abridged. This detail is absent from the manga, and Kubo, by his own admission, had next to no involvement in the anime at the time especially at the time (Klub Outside Q&A 36), making it very unlikely that he intentionally gave instruction to the anime team to add that detail in particular.
The method of creating a foothold in the air as explained to Ichigo by Zangetsu in volume 8 is the Quincy method, not the Soul reaper method. As the story goes, a fan noticed the play on words behind the name and compiled it into a blog, and at a signing Kubo-sensei told him, “I saw your blog, how did you notice it?" In Japanese, 1 is Ichi, 5 is Go, and 15 is “Quince” when converted to Spanish. (Pronunciations are different.) Spanish is used by Hollow and Arrancar. The name Karin means “Chinese quince” in English and the scientific name means “false quince”. English is used by Fullbringer. There is no hidden meaning behind the name Yuzu without powers.
Zangetsu as Yhwach is so in your face and obvious that it doesn’t feel true. Kubo has done a great job of hiding stuff like Aiken’s true identity, Gin’s purpose, Ichigo’s birth etc that anything obvious seems like bait.
Only gets a thousand times better from now, I've been watching your reactions to the first part of bleach from SS arc to kill time lol be ready for the next part !
you should look up some quotes from white zangetsu in earlier episodes. It's really cool to see that he truly wasn't lying when he talked to ichigo and his metaphors make much more sense too. Great foreshadowing by Kubo!
zangetsu told ichigo when he was training for the final getsuga. When tenza zangetsu and white fused togheder they told him that they were both his power
I think what you're talking about with the OST is that it's not overwhelming the story, it's adding to it, when it's needed for pivotal and emotional scenes it lifts the already stellar acting and writing to new levels and is further helping the gorgeous visuals. It's one of the few OST's that's instantly recognisable and is uplifting to hear.
Ichigo had Zanpakuto all this time cause Hollow White which was created by Aizen, was very close to being an actual Asauchi, he never had an Asauchi created by Ōetsu Nimaiya only a fake compensation, whitch was still more than usefull replacement.
About 3-4 times Ichigo's Hollow told him that HE is Ichigo's Zanpakuto. Ichigo considers em' both his Zanpakuto because of how they've each helped him, but the Hollow IS Ichigo's actual Zanpakuto
i need the point of two thing yeah it was actualy merely a fragment of his power when ever i saw that shit i still think damnnn and if you gust pay attention to his sword the little one represent the quincy power and the other big sword represent his actual hollow and shinigami power
Fun fact, when TYBW started in manga, people pointed out Yhwach to be a Zangetsu ripoff, took this a proof Kubo had no more inspiration, aand were jockingly calling him "evil Zangetsu"
Definitely love the glow up Rukia and the others got from the Soul palace training but in terms for bankai I still prefer Renji's originally. The way the whole bone snake looked made him stand out from the others with theirs.
To me old man Zangetsu looks way way cooler than Yhwach Speaking of Bleach ost, the hype ones are good and fire but what i really love are the whimsical and melancholy osts of Bleach, Bleach has such great osts
How strong ichigo all this time? That just a fragment of ichigo's power that old man zangetsu cannot suppress -that fragment of power can even disrespect transended aizen back in FKT.
This issen't revealed in thé main story but in thé ln that expands on thé story if ichubay diden't interfear you would have known in ep 11 when old man zangetsu tryed to say his name thé first time that he was yhawach thé reason ichigo cudent hear his name was not that i was not ready but ichubay interfeared coss old man's zangetsu named him self as yhawach
the first introduction zangetsu, his name really gets censored, but if you watching bleach used dub his still mentioned, but it's make fake zangetsu looks like lying to ichigo. but this making me always thinking before watching tybw, who is the real zangetsu? white? or glasses old-man? coz ichigo's it's unique, everybody have one soul in they're zanpakutou but ichigo have two
And Kubo really did misdirect us with Ichigo almost going full hollow while training with Urahara, so we would assume that's is where his inner hollow come from, but nope, it was there from the beginning. Absolute peak storytelling!
@@deadMan33331 yeah, i'm always thinking like you said, kubo really put something we doesn't know and the next arc kubo really revealed something we doesn't know earlier and tadaa surprise mtf

theres a theory saying he couldnt say it cuz ichibei supressed his name
@@allenhollow9007 Not a theory, Kubo has said that its the reason.

He is speedrunning the show 😂
@@Matty_14 and its refreshing because any other youtuber would milk the shit out if this
Ichigo: Where is old man Zangetsu?!
White Ichigo: I already told you. I AM ZANGETSU!!!
Blade is me is so well written. Its encompasses Ichigo's journey of self realisation and self acceptance and he's finally able to attain balance and peace within himself.
And the fact that the chapter when he unlock his shikai is called the blade AND me makes it a lot better
His quincy self want him weaker
His hollow self want him stronger
But both want him to be safe❤🔥⚡
That's our GOAT ZANGETSU🐐
Small correction, the Hollow wanted him to be strong so he could be his. They since came to terms lol.

"Baka, I already told you that I am Zangetsu."
-White probably.
"That is Zangetsu." with the music the chillllllllllls
When Ichigo and old man Zangetsu first meet you can hear his name is distorted. And in the manga his name is inked out
Absolute Cinema
Zangetsu as Yhwach is so in your face and obvious that it doesn’t feel true. Kubo has done a great job of hiding stuff like Aiken’s true identity, Gin’s purpose, Ichigo’s birth etc that anything obvious seems like bait.
I mean back then when tybw arc manga started, some people slandered Kubo of same face syndrome upon Yhwach's debut.
Only gets a thousand times better from now, I've been watching your reactions to the first part of bleach from SS arc to kill time lol be ready for the next part !
this episode is the episode we all waiting for and been waiting all to finally see the face when people finally get ichigo's power ^^
you should look up some quotes from white zangetsu in earlier episodes. It's really cool to see that he truly wasn't lying when he talked to ichigo and his metaphors make much more sense too. Great foreshadowing by Kubo!
Kubo deserve a global award, nothing less then that.
BLEACH PEAK! BLEACH GREATNESS!
Blade is me is the Peak of Kubo story telling

The diference is 'old man zangetsu' looks so drippy, while Yuha looks homeless.
2:25 Let me try and word it for you my friend
The OST is a subtle undertone that accents the mood instead of dictating it.
2:05 ost 🔥🔥
Nice, finished with Core 1. Been loving it, and😁 things are about to get even better
in the dub version i'm glad they put zangetsu as the voice actor for Yhwach
About 3-4 times Ichigo's Hollow told him that HE is Ichigo's Zanpakuto. Ichigo considers em' both his Zanpakuto because of how they've each helped him, but the Hollow IS Ichigo's actual Zanpakuto

Episode 7 ywach said ( i am,but at the same time,im not) he already gave ichigo a hint
it goat time
I think Kensei more than anyone has the right to talk shit about Tousen considering he literally stabbed that man in the back lmao
Man, 10 more days to go
I missed he said that. Yes, it gets weird in the manga. One of the best fights tho
Was the other Zanpakuto bowing to him because they knew what he was meant to be
