Not only did his fangs reached the moon, they also reached the moons sister.
Ayyyyy props to my man Renji, really got up in there in the end lmao
Renji took Sado's nickname
@@MC-up7rl CHAD 😎
Being the strongest lieutenant of Gotei 13, being married to a captain-childhood friend, while surpassing her in power, habing a daughter, resembling one of the best girls in Bleach - yeah, despite his way being long and painful, the dude got everything he could wish.
@@Prushinthespirit what makes you think he’s stronger than Rukia?
"If fans want to blame anyone on sabotaging Ichiruki, they can blame Ichigo himself."
Ichigo literally threw Rukia into Renji's arms. Can't get more straightforward than that.
Lmao, you right.
He has Orihime and other humans.... I think ichigo is aight
and after the throw, ichigo literally tells renji to protect her with his life, meaning it’s RENJI’s job to protect her and renji follows through with it throughout the whole series and both of them almost becoming inseparable throughout the whole manga.
later on in the manga, ichigo bows in front of orihime and literally makes a promise to protect her.
it doesn’t get anymore obvious than that.
@@genflow2000 Preach
@@genflow2000 in the light novel WDKAL. It becomes even more obvious
If there was one thing I looked forward to whenseeing Renji.....is his redesigns for each arc. Man's be coming in with that HEAT
English please.
"If fans want to blame anyone on sabotaging Ichiruki, they can blame Ichigo himself." That sent me.
The shade
I love that line 😆
That quip slammed me
There's nothing to blame because no one was sabotaged
The truth.
I'm glad renji became somewhat of a secondary main character in the last arc.
Same here
Renji and Rukia's relationship development is actually so beautiful that sometimes I wish more people would acknowledge it and refuse to turn a blind eye to such amazing chemistry.
Agree 😁
Agreed! They are fucking awesome for eachother, I wanna relationship that good
A lot of that is Pierrot's and the original anime director's fault.
Oh we know Kubo loves designing Renji's outfits. They were just all fire.
I remember watching that flashback where Renji gave Rukia the push to join the Kuchkis and me thinking "This is some telenovela shit right here. Girl doesn't really want to go but guy who has her best interest at heart is giving her the nudge to go on. Yeeeeeah they'll pick up on where things left off later."
Same here
Honestly, Renji was the character that made me realize Kubo’s strengths as an artist due to his design and as a character writer. The amount of complexities Renji had as a supporting character during the Soul Society arc it really ties so much of the arc together. Hell almost all of the characters do, but Renji’s just stuck out to me especially during his battle with Byakuya
I always liked Renji...and even when were supposed to hate him at first! His design was just so...HARD. I never understood as to why so many had a problem with he and Rukia ended up together...WHY...they have known each other since like DAY EFFING ONE!!! He has loved her longer than Ichigo has been ALIVE.
EXACTLY
Indeed
Renji is the king of drip.
@@brettholley7095 You’re not wrong!!!
@@brettholley7095
Yes, he is
i still remember when Bazz-B complimented Renji's look in the TYBW arc, it was hilarious.
and that's coming from the coolest quincy
@Perangkul Tukang with kubo adding scenes In the anime now. I truly hope kubo let's those two have at least a 2 min fight
You know thinking on it, it actually kinda makes sense why Renji wouldn't have his true Bankai until his training with Ichibei, Renji trained for his Bankai to save Rukia from her execution like Ichigo.
But unlike Ichigo Renji didn't use the special technique Urahara, so basically he did in a few days and made a rush job of it which is understandable given the time span, so of course he didn't get his true Bankai he didn't complete his training for it properly and as such in Zabimaru's eyes he didn't earn it.
Also, it makes sense that Zabimaru in this rushed context thought that he wasn't yet fully ready.
Renji said that he is close. So it wasn't really rushed.
Zabimaru was just a dick, who didn't think Renji was strong enough. Which makes sense, as Zabimaru is part of Renjis soul and Renji suffered inferiority complex for decades.
Renji Abarai:
Best Lieutenant
Best Designed Character
Best Rival
Best Bro
Best Husbando
Best Character Period!!!
Really enjoyed this character analysis video.
Keep up the good work Sir!!!
I think the best rival goes to kenpachi
@@shadyorphan420 nope it’s Grimmjow
Best Designed Character should also belong to grimmjow
I know it's been two goddam years but also best shikai (in terms of looks)
Yes
I just love how Renji and Rukia are honorary members of the Karakura Gang in the truest sense, and his relationship with Ichigo is amongst the most grounded, yet heartwarming in Bleach. They're ride-or-die bros, and I love that.
One of the biggest reasons I'm hyped about the continuation of the bleach anime is because of Renji fight scene 😤 🔥🔥🔥
Think his Bankai went through a small-time skip change or BANKAI evolution.
@@AJ-kt5zo yeah it becomes his true Bankai since he was using the wrong name the entire time lol.
@@TheManInTheRedHat Thank you very very much for your kind reply @Jordan Hill only reason I said that was even Yamamota stated when he was fighting the fake Ywcbach ( epic hope the anime enhances that by the way) his BANKAI went through a change / evolution since their 1st encounter during the 1st War that 2000 year's ago. And that valid point up till now Renji wasn't using the true name of his sword.
I remember reading Renji's monologue about his and Rukia's background and I thought "He's in love with Rukia. It's so obvious. Love isn't just blushing, bickering and pick up lines, it's also a bond that forms after being with each other for so long that when you get together nothing has really changed." So I wasn't surprised when they ended up together....I WAS surprised by the GREMLIN THAT IS ICHIKA (especially with the one-shot)
Ichika is not ugly. She looks like a kid version of Senna
@@DomSte128 I say Gremlin as a term of affection for a kid who is known for being a little shit
I feel you on everything except Ichika. I actually like her design
Byakuya: The monkey (Renji) will never reach the moon (me)
Renji: That's fine. The monkey will reach The moon's sister then (Rukia)
Byakuya: What?
Renji and Rukia gets married and have a daughter named ichika
I like the acceptance Renji has gotten from Byakuya at the beginning of the 1000 Year Blood arc. Byakuya is personally helping to train Renji's bankia. Byakuya went from there is no way to breech the gap in our power to let me help you close that gap by the end of the story.
Renji is my favorite Lieutenant and definitely one of my favorites in Bleach.
In the end the fang does reach the moon.
Next character I'd love to see your analysis on is Shinji Hirako. Definitely my personal favorite captain and Vizard.
Right. He shikai is also psycho like him. Recall the sound effect made when it was mentioned in the anime. That sound of something twisted when Sakanade was called...
Shinji theme is awesome
Lol i just realized Shinji is two letters away from being Shinji Ikari
Yes!!
If I hear anyone disrespecting Renji's eyebrows I'll point them back to the Sharpie eyebrows trend from a few years ago and dare them to argue that THAT was better than Kubo's design.
Who would insult his eyebrows? They are cool
Renji is one of the best characters and one of my favorite characters
I liked how during his fight with Mask he claimed to be the villain when Mask called him out on what he stood for. It was a subtle show of Soul Society's dark side (especially with their bloody past with the Quincies). But in the end he is definitely someone to have watching your back. The fact that he ignores while giving a middle finger to the rigid traditionalism and discipline of Gotei 13 makes him standout. Byakuya will do something only to follow orders and traditions, Renji will do it because it's the right thing to do. His origins in the slums of the Rukon sure gave him a humble moral sense.
Finally! I’ve been waiting patiently for a Renji character analysis! This made my day.
Next to Chad, Renji is defo Ichigo's best friend.
So, if/when he sees Kazui again and if Kazui doesn't call him Uncle, I will fly to Japan, break into Kubo's house and ask him "Aye, yo fam. The fuck?!"
This extends to Chad, Uryu and Rukia, too.
Agreed
When i first started bleach and renji and byakuya appear, bleach felt completely different.
Thanks to you and MrTommo i was able to give a 2nd chance to Bleach and now im enjoying it a lot more, im rereading the Arrancar arc and i find it really enjoyable
“How dare you charge in here like this? I was just about to say something really cool, and you totally ruined the moment!”
Renji is main character material. Same thing with Kenpachi.
Renji and Ichigo were the mirror images of Soul Society and the Human world. I could see how much they were alike with all arcs done in the Anime. Even when one might b1tch out the other from time to time. I could see the friendship between Renji and Rukia was more. Though several were trying to ship Rukia and Ichigo, I didn't see it. When the two battled during the SS arc, Renji's flashback of their friendship is where I saw how it was more than that. He mentally admitted to himself that he loved her, but knew nothing could come from it since she was of Noble class. And I agree, Renji, like several characters, is well-written and grew up over the short time leading to the TYBW arc. His personal growth increased the strength of Goethe 13 and Soul Society.
I have been watching several of the analysis and 'explained' though they were done 7 months to over a year ago. DB's approach has helped me see some things I had forgotten about, but helped re-enforce how much I understood. Though I know the fillers may have not been part of the main manga, but gave me a better understanding of the whole series. For example, the zanpuktou arc in the anime may not have been part, but it helped me understand the relationship between person and blade.
Renji IS very cool and a good character.
We saw ichigo's hollow for the first time when he fought renji
would be sick to see him return in bleach hell arc
Idk about that? Maybe?
Dude if y’all not Subscribed to this man it’s fucking Sin he’s Goated & always come out with the best Content & Analytic breakdowns
While I don't mind Renji remaining. Lieutenant at the end of the series, I definitely would've preferred to see Byakuya die so Renji could take his place.
And considering the new arc on our hands, it would've made for an amazing reunion and become a means to see Renji truly surpass his former captain.
But then renji would have no reason to get stronger as he said
@@alexrivers8163 Avenge his captain since he wasn't able to save him
Cant wait to see what other tattoos he gets in Hell Arc! 😍
Renji is a lieutenant who is stronger than most captains.
Maybe about half
Dude is the man. Idc what anyone says. He tried to kill ichigo, then at the end he was willing to die for ichigo just because ichigo was his wingman. Renji is the best friend we all wish we had.
Abarai Renji is my favorite character in Bleach! Thank you for this super analysis.
I know this is going to cover a lot about my man Renji
Underrated
The character
Renji always was a favorite of mine
Renji is one of the hottest anime men period
One of my fav characters in Bleach, and the vid comes out on my b-day! Yes!!
i wanted to sleep but when i saw this video uploaded what’s another hour of staying awake
Once again, another analysis worth every single minute. Also, I can't wait until you update the character analyses as Kubo gives us more content. I can't wait for the Adult Ichigo analysis. I loved Renji's design and I think it was perfect to sum up that Ichigo and Renji were like brothers.
I miss when most people used to watch shows to follow the plot and lore ,now it's entitlement everywhere . Way too many "if doesn't/does happen,it's bullshit writing." people who exist now .
Great video by the way ☝🏾
Renji is literally saying should your legs ever fail you I gladly lend you mine to Aid you in moving forward
This analysis is making me wanna reread bleach so bad, glad I got mad volumes in my collection
I find it vastly amusing that the first time Renji really meets Ichigo, he mocks Ichigo for not even knowing his swords name. Then later on someone looks at him and goes "Oh hey by the way this is your swords real name."
I have to keep this paragraph short and sweet because that is how I love this character. His design and bankai for me is second only to Ichigo. His character and struggles are so realistic and his bankai and determination is something to be inspired. Loved this breakdown of Renji Abarai.
A video on the MVP of Bleach
Proud to be one of the 26% thats been subscribed since I first found this channel. Every video is 🔥 who wouldn't want to be one of the first to catch these videos. If I wasn't subbed I'd be afraid I'd miss one.
I was an anime-only viewer of bleach years ago (planning to read the manga after rewatching the show), so I didn't know that the manga had concluded until some time when my friend said "Ok so Bleach is done and Ichigo married Orihime and Rukia married Renji". I remember being confused as to why Ichigo and Rukia didn't end up together bc on the surface they were practically written to be eventual love interests. But when i rewatched the show and these analysis videos, I realized that a large chunk of what Renji did in his life was FOR Rukia and/or BEING with Rukia, or proving his worth TO Rukia, and that seems way more romantic to me. Half the time Renji was always thinking about Rukia's best interest over his own.
And we get some minor non-verbal hints from flashbacks that Renji probably harbored some feelings for Rukia that went a bit more than just familial/platonic love, at least in their childhood. They have far longer history than as well, so it kind of makes sense that they'd choose each other as spouses, the "I married my best friend" kind of deal. The Ichiruki dynamic to me now feels more like soulmates, but not in the romantic sense, more like the "my bond with this person goes deeper than friendship, arguably deeper than familial" kind of thing?
Side note, a part of me wonders if the reason why Byakuya recruited Renji to be his lieutenant was partially bc he knew Renji was Rukia's closest friend and either wanted to keep tabs on him or knew what they meant to each other and, as Renji's Captain and Rukia's brother simultaneously, discreetly provided them both an opportunity to be equals and be together again
I loved Renji from the very beginning. He remains my ultimate favorite anime character. His design was so damn amazing at the time, and to learn that it only evolved further is blissful. That crazy red hair and his sweet tatties will always be unmatched. It's a very welcome bonus that not only is he great to look at, but Kubo actually respected the shit out of a visually stunning character to develop him the way he did. He had the makings of a main character, he was just far too interesting and good-looking. Lol.
Renji should have become a captain. Due to the 0 division training he was as strong as a captain
The main problem of renji is that he is weak in using kido which is really necessary for anyone who wants to be a captain . Even if renji is a lot stronger than some captain . His lack of control in kido spells make him not worth of a captain position.
@@morving7714 what about kenpachi?
@@TheBlackMangaArtist1 kenpachi is a different case , for anyone to take the position of kenpachi ie 11th division captain they need to kill or defeat the previous Captain . You can say Its a trend , and if you read safwy and also watched the turn back the pendulum arc, the kenpachi that came before Zaraki was weak as hell , even the captain's were surprised how he got the position but before that guy the other kenpachi's were really really strong.
@@morving7714 there’s three ways to become a captain..
1) take the captain proficiency test, which requires the ability to perform bankai. Presumably, most Soul Reapers become captains using this method. At least three existing captains, including Head Captain, have to witness the test.
2) have personal recommendations from at least six captains and approval from at least three of the remaining seven.
3) defeat a captain one-on-one with at least 200 witnesses from the captain's division. Kenpachi Zaraki and Kenpachi Kiganjō are the only two known captains to have achieved their rank using this method.
@@ethanvang5614 The last one only applies to 11th division not other division's and 2 and 1 both are kinda same , as we learn in turn back the pendulum arc . Also other kenpachi's in safwy take their position the same way Zaraki did .
Sir your analysis really are like a work of art I've watched over most of the arc just because these analysis just so inspiring
Can we get an Isshin Kurosaki analysis in the future?
I feel that renji should've been a captain but because of respect to his captain remained as a lieutenant which I believe was wrong.
These breakdowns are BY FAR THE BEST BREAKDOWNS ON ANY ANIME SERIES ON TH-cam. DBZIMRAN IS FOR REAL THE MOST PRO ANALYSIS ON ALL OF TH-cam. THANKS BRO. LOVE FROM THE 🇺🇸
This makes me excited for the video on Ikkaku and Shuhei 🥺 love the video as always king!
Renji didn't get the chance to attack YH because what YH saw was an illusion by Aizen. Ichigo just arrived and in time to cut YH after Aizen undid his Shikai.
Renji is defiantly the ride or die best friend of Bleach
Ayyeee ma boy Renji 💪🏽
Renji is one of those character who remind of how great OG bleach was, and make me love it even more !
absolutely love your analyses and your videos
Thank you! Hope to see you on the new videos
I feel bad man you put so much work into these and don’t get the views you deserve I really hope you pickup traction soon you deserve way more views and subscribers
Ichigo and renji are not just close friends they are brothers in arms
Early let’s goooo.Renji the GOAT
watching the anime growing up and coming in to the thousand year blood war i love how detailed these videos are for refamiliarizing myself with the characters
Renji and ichigos bromance is underrated
I've been waiting for the Renji video for a while now. I'd 49-50 minutes is worth it.
Now i appreciate more my Renji Funko Pop. Fantastic video man, keep up the good work 👍
I neeeeeed to go to sleeeeeeep😭I just saw this now. I promise I’ll watch this first thing in the morning while I have breakfast😍 thank you for all your content!! I love your channel❤️
Rest up! Glad you love the videos
I love these so much
It's always a joy to watch your bleach analysis videos could you please do Isshin kurosaki or future Gohan I would love to see you take on these.
When it's you, yourself, who sabotaged your own chances with a girl!! First, Renji and then Ichigo. XD But I think it's good that Renji ended up with Rukia since they're more similar in age and life span. Also, I think we shouldn't undermine stray dogs.
That was a fire video Imran keep it up
Great way to start my day.
Your videos butter my biscuits thank you
These videos are almost as good as the Bleach itself !!
I love your videos keep going bro 🥰🥰
Great video a always
Cant believe I've been watching since the first bleach video.
Great video as always and I have a question are you planning on doing an analysis on cant fear your own world?
I think the next character analysis should yoruichi shihouin because she's definitely a fan favourite to men everywhere.
Great video
It’s funny when I first watched the show I thought I would hate him but he’s grown be my second favorite character in the series
Awesome!
This video made me a new Sub very nice work 👍🏾👍🏾
Renji and Toshiro are my favorite characters in Bleach
I'm just glad Ichigo didn't end up with Rukia, that would have ruined it for me.
2:52seeing that image reminded me of my chilhdhood. i was born in the Philippines at 4 I started stealing money through 8 n i never get caught but at 8 I wanted to change my life
Love this so much can you do yoruichi next plz😁
I want to know more about Hanataro's past and his brother. I know they grew up in district 42 and their father wasn't around, their mother died when Hanataro was really small, and Seinosuke would scavenge for food and steal food to keep little Hana alive. But living on the streets as a small child and almost starving to death every day must have been terrible... And Seinosuke became desperate and greedy for money and there's a short little comic of Seinosuke coming home to little Hanataro with a bento his "colleague" made for Hana. Was he in squad 4 at the time? Did Unohana make the bento? But inside was a live lobster 😂 But Seinosuke was able to put a roof over Hana's head and keep him fed so I respect him for that. But he repressed his emotions and focused on logical planning for survival. Keeping Hana alive and safe. But little Hanataro did run up to Seinosuke for hugs and Seinosuke would turn his back on him. He probably didn't know how to respond to affection. But it probably also caused Hanataro to develop attachment issues. But knowing all of this, it makes sense why Hanataro is so anxious, and why he became so attached to Rukia so quickly just because she was kind to him, as most soul reapers would abuse him and bully him and beat him up... And Seinosuke's last words to Hanataro before leaving him was "become strong, and maybe you can obtain the position I was cheated out of." And Seinosuke wanted to be the next captain but Urahara was appointed instead. We know Hana had a poster in his room that said "Shoot for the 6th seat!" so we know he was actively trying to move up the ranks, and he has since been promoted to 3rd seat. So I wonder if Hana is actually trying to become a captain of squad 4 and if he's doing it in hopes that his brother will acknowledge and be proud of him, or at least speak to him again. But I don't think Seinosuke will do that... And since strong souls get cast down to hell, I'm freaking out please let Hana resign oh no 😭 It's also important to point out that Hanataro was fully intending to give up his life to fight Byakuya in the beginning, and Ganju acknowledged that even though Hanataro was trembling, he wore a brave face and walked forward through the fear, to protect people he cared about. It showed Hana's resolve and that he is actually very courageous and will stand up for the people he cares about and what he believes in by trying to help Rukia escape, and trying to protect Ganju and Rukia. But it also shows that Hanataro may not have valued himself or his own life at that time, and felt his life was worth less than their lives were... It shows what a good person he is, while also showing how depressed and self loathing he was. I loved seeing him become happier later in the series and becoming more confident in himself and his abilities while also becoming less shy with Ichigo and everyone. There is a lot to love about Hanataro Yamada and I wish he was appreciated a lot more. And I loved seeing Ganju become a kinder and more gentle person after meeting Hana. He became really protective of Hanataro and he seemed to become nicer and less of a punk and in the bount arc he runs off the second Hana calls him for help at the convince store lol But he went to Ichigo just to help him feel better and I don't think he would have done that in the beginning. But seeing him hug Hanataro and both of them being so happy to see each other warmed my heart. And then them being in their own adorable and ridiculous slice of life spin-off working at a convince store together was really funny and cute.
Renji is the Vegeta of Bleach
I love Renji,s character. And looking forward to a new continued story. Of the thousand year blood war.👍
I really like your content! Just a suggestin, you should try analyise The Donquixote Family from OP :D
love it
Personally, Renji is actually one of my favorite characters in the show.
74% percent not subbed to DBZimran?????? Come on guys....
I wish bankai’s could have more than one form to me that would be so interesting because I like the idea of no matter how good or strong you are you can always become better
