No its because white and tensa merged is the actual true appearance of his zanpakuto, had white not influenced ichigos birth it would have been just regular tensa tho
Ichigo overcoming his despair to save his hometown and the world was powerful. He emerged calmly determined and ready, it serves as the opposite of Aizen's total breakdown when he's finally cornered and sealed. Ichigo undergoing this struggle and emerging as a mature warrior will always top the series.
Gin throughout it was cool too, especially on a second watch. Basically coaches him until he sees ichigo despair then tells him the hard truth to put him in an ultimatum then of course Gin smiling when he sees him again knowing Ichigo got through it instead of succumbing.. pretty neat.
When he grabbed Aizen by the face and flew him out of town, I lost it. That was sick. And then it was his blade destroying mountains, not Aizen, then Aizen couldn’t sense Ichigo’s spiritual pressure because it was so much higher than his, and broke Aizen’s kido. The whole thing was freakin goated.
Dangai Ichigo is actually a perfect example of Miyamoto Musashi's principle of a battle. I think we can all achieve some kind of dangai through continues progression and gaining control over ourselves.
Not through continuous progression and gaining control over ourselves because the ones who we are trying to control are ourselves just like a finger which can't touch itself, a tongue can't taste itself and eyes can't see themselves. So the only way is to let go of all resistance just like what ichigo did during his training in dangai because any resistance is an act of trying to gain self-control which is a futile effort. Only when ichigo lets go of all resistance which is signified by ichigo letting go of his sword comes the immediate and ultimate understanding in bleach (also in life) that you and your zanpakto are not two. The immediaticity of this understanding is symbolized by ichigo getting stabbed by fused-zangetsu's sword.
@@ayusshanubhav2097 yes yes, your wording is way better than mine, that's what I wanted to say but I couldn't put it out. Yours is just completely correct. I'm gonna screenshot this. Thank you my brother.
Ichigo was able to achieve transcendence because he was taught by urahara to listen to his zanpaktou. A typical shunigami is trained to subdue their zanpaktou and that's including Aizen and most especially Zaraki. This is the swords man's journey. He picks up the sword, learns the sword, masters the sword, merges with the sword & lastly abandons the sword coming back full circle.
Zaraki didn't subdue his zanpaktou. He just never acknowledged it. He just wanted to battle. Well luckily for him his zanpaktou materialised as a child and stayed with him. I think Aizen understood his sword's powers but he didn't feel completed by it. He lost sight of his sword in the end and hence why the hogyouko deemed him weaker, hence the seal of urahara automatically activated.
One of my favorite things about aizen arc is that the whole point of the hogyoku is that mixing shinigami and hollow lets you break your potentiol limit and exceed anything you thought possible. But while aizan attempted to do this, ichigo kind did it on accident your zanpakto is a manifestation of your soul as a familier/weapon its a part of you and is kinda you. So his shinigami and hollow powers merging just made him exactly what aizan was attempting to do
The hogyoku isn’t about mixing hollow and shinigamj powers. It’s simply a guide that manifests the desires of the user and the people around them. However the hogyoku will not do anything unless the target has the potential/power to do so therefore it is regarded as a guide
his shinigami and hollow powers were already fused. it was quincy's power, Letzt Stil, mixing with his hollow/shinigami powers that made him so powerful
I like the theory that while the other members of the five Noble families have a hereditary Zanpakuto that is passed down, but comes with a dangerous risk, the Shiba family instead have a technique that enables you to transcend to Godhood, but only if you are able to fully understand and accept yourself. I think that would be a nice way of illustrating that the Shiba family have always been more altruistic and willing to sacrifice themselves, just like how their ancestor opposed the mutilation of the Soul King and volunteered to take his place. Which could have hinted that he might have been on a similar level of transcendence as the Soul King.
Your kinda on the money. Actually the soul king is literally ichigo ancestor. The soul king was betrayed the the nobles. Fun fact, squad zero were actually the leaders of the noble families at the time. Has anyone ever wondered why Ichigo is so fukin powerful. Literally all of the powers he has, the soul king has. Hollow, shinigami, quincy, I think fullbringers too but I could be wrong. Point is Yhwach could literally see all possibilities in all realities. He was scared of Ichigo true bankai that’s why he stopped him from using it. The power of the soul king. Yhwach is also the soul kings son & ichigo ancestor
FINALLY. To this day, I still don't fully understand what Dangai Ichigo really is like how it actually works, the abilities and what it truly is. To be fair, I was never really into the power mechanics of Bleach since it could be very convoluted and kinda baffling sometimes but Imran my man, thanks for making these Bleach Explained videos. You made it very intriguing and easy to understand.
Because most people didn't put the pieces together. Final getsuga tensho is nothing other than Quincy Letzt Stil. You use it to gain immense amounts of power momentarily, and then lose all your powers. We know for a fact that Ichigo at this point in time had NO shinigami powers (Ouetsu confirms this later in the story). Instead it was his Quincy powers pretending to be his shinigami powers. What is the final power up a quincy can use? Quincy Letzt Stil. Later on Quincy vollständig was introduced as a superior form, but there is nothing to argue here that final getsuga tensho is Quincy Letzt Stil. It has the exact same characteristics as Letzt Stil, and the name is literally the same. Letzt Stil means final style in German (which Quincy powers are based on, German names). Final getsuga tensho is basically the "final style". This entire video didn't understand absolutely anything about what final getsuga tensho was.
@@gh0un This is so crazy. So just Ichigo's Quincy power alone (without the other Quincy abilities) was enough to overpower the monster fused form of Aizen?
@@BigBoomOfDoom2 It was Quincy Letzt Stil combined with his Vasto Lorde level hollow powers. Basically the pinnacle of his hollow powers combined with the pinnacle of his Quincy powers. This is apparent from the fact that young Tensa Zangetsu has half his face covered with the vasto lord mask when we see the flashback of how Ichigo fought young Tensa Zangetsu to gain knowledge of final getsuga tenshou. This is also consistent with what old man Zangetsu told Ichigo later on. He was pretending to be his shinigami powers, and pitted those powers against Ichigos inner hollow to give him enough power to win the fights he was involved in. This kind of gives us an idea what butterflaizen was all about. His butterfly form looked angelic. What else has an angelic theme? Quincies. Quincy vollständig designs were always angelic in theme (with the elite stern Ritter having angelic halos over their heads, and talking about being godlike beings). Furthermore Quincy attacks use angelic names (in German) and angelic themes. Ywachs Kirchenlied Sankt-Zwinger, is German and means Holy church song, forced sanctum. The Quincy cross is obviously angelic in theme as well. Aizen looked like an angel in butterfly form, so ill take an educated guess that that was Aizen's Quincy form. In fact, that's exactly why his sword fused with his arm (and why Ichigos sword also fused with his arm). Remember the Quincy glove that uryuu had to put on? He basically fuses his weapon with his hand to become more powerful. And to become even more powerful, he removes the glove and gains Quincy Letzt Stil. Ichigo fusing his hand with his weapon, is basically him wearing his weapon like a glove, the Quincy theme is apparent. Once he takes his "glove" off again, he himself becomes the weapon, so he gains an ethereal blade while he has new armor on. Remember how uryuu suddenly had an armor on when he used Quincy Letzt Stil and how the bow came out of his back as ethereal form? Similarly, butterflaizen also merged his hand with his sword, following the same logic. Angelic look + fusing of the weapon with the hand. Only reason why Ichigo kept looking like a shinigami, is because Zangetsu was pretending to be his shinigami powers. So butterflaizen was Aizen's shinigami powers mixed with newly developing Quincy elements. Later on Hollow elements mixed in as well and he looked like a hollow in the final confrontation. Aizen clearly wasn't able to use Quincy Letzt Stil however, and neither was his hollow side developed, so he was beaten by Ichigo who had attained perfection in both his hollow and Quincy sides at this point (even if the pinnacle for his Quincy side only lasts a few seconds). I'm quite certain that this explains a whole bunch of questions that a reader might have had about what Aizen's transformations were.
@marvelronaldo9786 I don't really care which is stronger tbh, because thousand year blood war arc was such a rushed and unpolished story, that I'm kinda leaning on considering it to be filler, or a very bad story. A bit of build up here and there with vast amounts of rushed characters, coupled with rushed storylines, and then in the end a bunch of unresolved Threads that were just left dangling. Thousand blood year was total dogshit, and the anime Adaption is shining more light on how bad it is.
Great video as always DBZimran, Dangai was short but impactful. A tortured soul, really loved how Kubo designed Dangai Ichigo same with Ichigo as a whole.
That theme song still hits man. Ichigo went ssj4…that’s how I ranked Ichigo’s forms from bankai to Dangai. Bankai being 1, masked up being 2, hollow berserker being 3 and of course Dangai being 4. The greatest moment in bleach in my opinion. I know the anime will help change my mind when it returns in October but we’ll see.
There is still something which needs to be said, you said that "this form came out of nowhere" which is not true. To understand we need to look at the power system of bleach. Now the power system in bleach is based on the relationship between a zanpakto & its user. The closer they are the stronger they become. That's why Shikai is all about learning the name of your zanpakto, bankai is all about forming a master-servant relationship. Now it was already stated that you need to put your spiritual energy into an empty blade (asauchi) to form your zanpakto that means zanpakto is a part of you because remember everything in bleach is made up of spiritual energy so putting your spiritual energy into a nameless blade means you are putting a part of yourself into that nameless blade. So that's how a relationship between a zanpakto and a user should be, that the user should understand that he and his Zanpakto are one and this understanding is the key to ultimate power in bleach. So during the final getsuga training by letting go of his sword ichigo also lets go of all his prejudices, and resistance towards his blade which is beautifully followed by hollow-zangetsu stabbing ichigo which symbolises the immediate understanding of oneness you will have once you let go of all prejudices and resistance. So I hope I was able to explain my point, thank you for reading.
@@danurkresnamurti3598 Yes that fight was also interesting because you see in that fight ichigo resisted white and in the end stabbed white to control him which is beautifully contrasted by the final getsuga tenshou training where ichigo lets go of his blade and gets stabbed by fused-zangetsu (I.e. ichigo didn't put resistance and just simply accepted it ).
actually I truly think this was the letzt stil that uryu used all the way back in the SS arc, just this time instead of only having his quincy power, that letzt stil is used by pouring all of his latent power into this one final getsuga, which ties in perfectly with the xcution arc where the method he regained his powers is identical to the way that uryu regained his power as well an "arrow" shot at a very close distance, however in ichigo's case it's a reishi sword stabbed into his heart, which is almost identical to the spirit weapon method uryu regained his power with
Nice explanation, but it still doesn't explain why Ichigo got so much stronger in such a brief period of time. Like you have to realize this. Aizen even prior to the hogyoku was probably in the top 5 soul reapers. He was exceptionally gifted in both combat and intellect. Combine that with the hogyoku and he became a transcended being. Ichigo does some training, accepts his zanpaktou and learns the final getsugatensho and somehow becomes far stronger than one of the strongest soul reapers that has also fused with the hogyoku. I am sorry, but that makes no sense whatsoever. Why is Ichigo that strong all of a sudden. It really doesn't scale properly with what we've seen from him so far in the story. For him to just play around with Aizen like he is some low level hollow is wild and really just makes this form feel like an asspull with all due respect.
@@hazey5736 okay here are few things, 1. Aizen didn't become a transcendent being. Aizen was under the delusion that he was a transcendent being and his bubble was busted when he was faced with a real transcendent being (i.e. ichigo). The case is different in the final arc where we see a true transcendent aizen. 2. Actually if you have read the manga you would know ichigo's backstory and why ichigo has that ridiculous amount of potential and about the "limiter" on his powers. So it's not really surprising that he became that powerful when his "limiter" is released and he is able to display his full potential. 3. If you have read CFYOW light novel then you would know that ancestors of the shiba clan were searching for a technique which will allow them to replace the soul king. Considering the fact that the final getsuga tenshou is a technique of shiba clan which allows the user to achieve great power. It's highly likely that "final getsuga" is the technique shiba ancestors came up with to replace the soul king. So basically ichigo came to a similar order of power to the soul king during his fight with aizen. So i guess that says a lot. ( I would recommend you to check out the video simourahara made on this, he was the first one to point this out.)
Well Ichigo could sense Aizen for the fact that he wasn't far from his power, he was the only one that was close enough and had enough potential to reach and defeat Aizen, that's why he trained him
I don't believe his ability to sense was ever tied to Transcendence. Think back to the beginning. Rukia was surprised he could sense and locate others. This was considered very advanced. Now consider his lineage. Consider that Quincy are innately as to sense and manipulate spirit energy.
Ya, his ability to funnel his spirit energy and amplify it through the swing of his sword could be considered similar to the Quincy with drawing their bows to gather their spirit energy to a single point.
Through the series Kubo firmly shows us that you cant sense the spiritual power of someone who is vastly stronger than you, that's why normal people can't sense shinigami even next to them. But even as a normal human, Ichigo could sense them. Fast foward, Ichigo was the only one who could sense Aizen's power at all. At that point, Isshin didn't know if Ichigo had inherited Masaki's quincy powers, he only knew that his son was the only one with any hope of bridging the gap between them and Aizen's newfound strenght. That comes full circle whe *Aizen couldnt sense Dangai Ichigo's power as well* , no matter how further he evolved in that last battle. That's why he was so desperate at the end, he knew that even though he became everything he had envisioned as his perfect ascension, Ichigo was still so overwelmingly stronger than him that he couldn't even sense his power. Sensing someone's power in Bleach is the *bare minimum* you need to even hope to defeat them.
Bonus: when Ichigo transformed into a Vasto Lorde, his spiritual power was so incredible dense that it physically manifested itself and poured like rain on Hueco Mundo, that's why Ishida and Orihime were able to feel it.
@@Fahel14 That bonus piece of information you said was metal as hell. Imagine having spiritual power so dense that it pours out of you and manifests into rain.
I think it was a glimpse of his full power quincy included because zangetsu was in his horn of salvation form when he gave ichigo the blade. Bleach has a great mastery of foreshadowing. And what I think we saw was how powerful he really was. Not necessarily everything he's capable of doing but just raw power
one thing that people never understand is the fact that nobody could feel ichigos reiatsu anymore including Aizen. And aizen perfectly explained what is going on when others can not feel ur reiatsu anymore. Aizen was already so far ahead in strenght that he had to purposely reduce his reiatsu to let high-tier shinigami feel it. Yet Ichigo was so far ahead of aizen that not even aizen himself could feel ichigo's reiatsu anymore. People do not understand this one bit. Ichigo at the end arc who mastered all his powers and didn't got handicapped anymore by the old man, still could be felt by other shinigamis. This means that he was at least reiatsu wise way worse than dangai ichigo. Also I don't get that response from most, saying true bankai ichigo beats dangai ichigo, cuz zangetsu said that he always blocked ichigos reiatsu. sure he did, but there is no fucking way u can tell me dangai ichigo had reiatsu blocked. Zangetsu didn't block ichigo's reiatsu when he went dangai. also dangai could be some different type of form. People say dangai ichigo fully mastered his shinigami powers but that's it, while true bankai ichigo mastered everything. But i think dangai ichigo is a special form beyond "mastering a form" hence why he used final getsuga tenshou form to try and finish off aizen. He probably already was in a form that ends up in losing all of his powers. Maybe he used smth similar that the quincys use, like vollständig? Isn't vollständig a move that ends up in losing all of their powers? Since ichigo has quincy in himself, the old man probably unlocked vollständig on a over-trained ichigo to empower is strenght. In the end dangai ichigo or true bankai ichigo, neither of the both would make a difference vs yhwach because his ability was legit hacks. But dangai ichigo could have finished off yhwach with 1 swing before he awakens his real power, because he would be completely superior to everyone with his raw strenght. Long story short: True bankai ichigo is a ichigo that is the closest to perfection all abilitys that he himself has inside him (quincy hollow shinigami powers/techniques/real bankai and more) Dangai ichigo = basically a zaraki type of ichigo version (not even close of having all ability unlocked/techniques or true bankai, but a overpowered force of spiritual reiatsu/strenght/speed)
@marvelronaldo9786Dangai ichigo is literally just False Bankai ichigo with some months of training and getting closer with Zangetsu. True shikai ichigo is him fully accepting and using all of his powers. True Shikai easily surpasses Dangai
Ichigo vs Aizen was a pretty mid fight Ichigo throws Aizen, they clash a bit, Ichigo tanks Aizen’s attacks, cuts him once, Aizen transforms, Ichigo tanks some more, goes Final Getsuga, one shots Aizen
@@mich7978 Ichigo vs Ginjo and Ichigo vs Kageroza in OG Bleach anime, and Ichigo vs Yhwach in TYBW episode 7 were much better fights from a choreographic standpoint. The final fight of FKT was lackluster
I've always wondered why Ichigo's growth was so explosive. He attains different levels of strength in weeks or months when it took the captains hundreds or thousands of years.
Because it’s due to his crazy lineage. He has royal blood flowing through him from his Dad and we already know noble families possess high reiatsu. He also has White, the hollow that was artificially created by Aizen through mixing hundreds of soul reaper souls. And finally, his Quincy blood from his mother That’s why he can have such explosive growths
Before watching the video, the "strongest form" is wrong. Yhwach stated that True Shikai Ichigo is the strongest he's ever been, which means that True Shikai is superior if not equal to Mugetsu, and Mugetsu is superior to Dangai. Before y'all say "oh you're wrong Dangai and Mugetsu are the strongest form of Ichigo", it's a statement by Yhwach so I don't think I made a huge logical leap if I say that True Shikai Ichigo is superior or equal to Mugetsu.
This form and Mugetsu are his strongest forms. They're beyond bankai. Their power level at the Deicide Arc may have been less than or equal to the power level of TYBW True Shikai, but the forms themselves are literally beyond his highest form in TYBW. For a similar analogy, think of Dangai/Mugetsu as Super Saiyan. Base Goku in the Buu arc scales far above his Super Saiyan state in the Namek arc, but that doesn't make his base form stronger than his Ssj form.
Meh, mugetsu is stronger simply because of the repercussions of using it. When a single attack burns out all your abilities, you know its the final strongest attack/form.
It's all relative. If Ichigo after unlocking his true Zanpaktou was to unleash the Final Getsuga after allllllllllllll that growth, it would still be the strongest form he can take.
@@sageoverheaven It's literally stated by Yhwach that True Shikai is the strongest Ichigo has ever been. And that's not including True Bankai and HoS. It's literally stated by another character there's no way Dangai and Mugetsu are stronger than True Shikai and True Bankai
@@sageoverheaven isn’t dangai ichigo just the epitome of his soul reaper powers? By the EOS, ichigo is a completely different character with completely different capabilities. He’s not just pulling from one pool of powers anymore, he’s pulling from all of them. Dangai ichigo = soul reaper ichigo at 100% Bankai EOS ichigo = All of ichigo at 100%
i always liked this form and i always feel so happy when i see the episode where this form appears and i wanted to let my hair to grow like ichigo's hair in this form
I still have some certain questions why does ichigo never been able to achieve this form again like if he trained like this again would he be able to achieve this again ??
Because this form is only achieved if he's ready to sacrifice all his Shinigami powers, for a Final Getsuga Tenshou. So doing it again, doesn't really make any sense I think since he already achieved his True Shikai and True Bankai
Really the only question that I still have lingering over this section of the story is what was Isshins Plan A to stopping Aizen before realizing that Kototsu was destroyed, seeing how without that particular stroke of luck he would never of had time to help Ichigo achieve his Dangai Form.
Thanks for the DBZimran video, I can finally understand Ichigo Dangai's abilities, it's my second favorite transformation of him, along with the Getsuga Tenshou Final 🧡🖤
I love Bleach, read the Manga Twice and watched the Anime and it was never even really explained what exactly his Bankai does. Like every other Bankai has some sort of Mechanic but Ichigos is never stated. That’s why i started to believe that his Bankai is basically exchanging Reiatsu for Physical Improvement. He becomes faster and stronger in his Bankai. And thats why i think that the Ultimate Getsuga Tensho is exchanging all of his Reiatsu, therefore loosing his Shinigami Powers, for an Insane Boost in every physical way. Tatsuki is able to feel Aizens crushing spiritual pressure but she isnt feeling anything from Ichigo. And Aizen even says himself that he is disappointed in Ichigo because he cant feel no spiritual Pressure anymore. The combination of his absurd reiatsu trough his Genes and consuming it all for Power was what made him so strong that not even Aizen was a Match against him.
I think Ichigo's hollow powers represent his id as an allusion to Freudian psychology. The shinigami power represent his super-ego, and when Ichigo was able to reconcile and accept these two parts of himself, he was able to grow as an individual. The quincy powers represent his ego btw, which keeps the id and super-ego in check.
You explain one point wrong: the one who called himself “Tensa Zangetsu” whas the younger version of Juha bach, the quincy powers. Which grabbed the “hollow” which whas the fusion of the hollow and zanpakuto. What made the dangai so special whas the fact of the quincy and hollow/zanpakuto that fused together as one. And imhothe reason why aizen couldn’t feel ichigo.
@CEO of Sōsuke Aizen Yeah he was stated to be on a dimensional tier higher then him, thats why nobody could feel Aizen's power cause he was a lot stronger then them, this applies to Ichigo when he went dangai.
@CEO of Sōsuke Aizen which whas created thanks to accepting the blade who came from the fusion of his powers instead of the quincy side limiting the hollow/zanpakuto they worked togheter which broke the boundaries. The hole point why aizen wanted the hougyoku. The reason why only ichigo could feel him… otherwise urahara would’ve been able to feel him too. Yes its the level but i posted the part HOW he reached it.
Yeah I came here to say this, I thought the quincy element at play was the ability to use a final form aka "use all your power remaining power in one burst, then lose it", like how uryu did against kurotsuchi
@@willsoe Its probably a varient of that, cause Mugetsu Ichigo was technically the 5th stage of a zanpaktou, The 4th stage Dangai was when the zanpaktou started to fuse with hin as shown in his arm, and the 5th stage is complete fusion. Its a technique and a form at the same time.
i dont think that would be possible since Ichigo had done it only once and it cost him his soul reaper powers and for him to go that form again could mean the death of him or he will not be able to use fullbring powers that he got in the last anime arc
For what reason would he need to use this again? He now has power that has a level of equivalence to it WITHOUT the major debuff of losing his powers. Do you even understand that he loses his powers using this mode?
@@quavoking I just said I would love to see it and I'm sorry I didn't know you for saw the future where he doesn't ever use it again. Also you forget this is a jump manga ma boi will find a way to get a back if he ever did.
@@eugenepearson5939 @Eugene Pearson No shit sherlock. Read the first few words again and it's cute you had to re edit the comment to try and insult me. 🙃
People always forget that in anime Aizen stated that he reached power beyond people imagination and they will not be able to feel his reiatsu because of difference in power. And Tatsuki when she first time saw Dangain Ichigo stated that she does not feel anything from him, but she could feel the Aizens reiatsu. That's a hint he was way stronger then Aizen and there is nothing to do with his power source being Quincy, Shinigami or Human. Ishin just felt that he can be the only one to stand up against Aizen because he was his father and he had to believe in him.
You got the concept but your a little off. Aizen stated that he made it to where humans can see him if he didn’t they couldn’t because of him being a higher being that’s why she could feel his power. Know here’s the thing. Aizen said he couldn’t feel ichigos aura and even came to the conclusion that he gave it up for physical strength because Aizen is super cocky. So ichigo was a higher being than aizen. The reason is because aizen was a soul reaper and hollow. But ichigo was 4 different things hallow,human,Quincy,hollow. 4d being or something like that
Dangai Ichigo should have been the final form achieved to beat ywach. Peak Shinigami reiatsu and Bankai powers, with Arancar abilities (getsuga is basically cero) using quincy volstandig (Mugetsu)
Can you do a video of all the hogyoku forms of aizen? Hollowfied tensa zangetsu looks so damn cool and I love that ichigo looks like them when he fights yhwach in the final battle.
Added detail to 01:38 is that Ichigo's Shihakusou had become that of Zangetsu itself. It's best seen on his left arm. Where the cloth around the wrist is the same as with Old Man Zangetu's.
I only watched fights, episodes wise I got to 50. Dangai Ichigo is how I wished he looked at all times, just looks wise, I was so sad when it vanished, man :(
Another wonderful video. While the final getsuga requires an understanding and acceptance of your powers, it also required a sacrifice. That is your zanpakto sacrifices itself for what YOU want. This is why black zangetsu was against it because he also knew that there were still things to protect Ichigo from. But in the end he agrees and so fuses/is tied with ichigo. You can say this was the ULTIMATE subjugation of a zanpakto. Also Ichigo isn't Smart because black zangetsu practically tells him the white zangetsu were his real powers but ichigo doesn't ask what he (black zangetsu) was - A Quincy. But to be fair I can't tell if anyone had realized it then 😂 so a great foreshadowing by Tite again 🥺
The Dangai realm is like the Hyperbolic time chamber from DBZ and the Astral world from Berserk. Remember the cell saga, where Goku and Gohan trained after Vegeta and Trunks training, and you get stronger and the Astral world from Berserk where time flows differently than in the physical, this is something like that in the Dangai realm.
From a personal standpoint as cool as dangai Ichigo is and all that entails hims the concept of what that is and why it matters other than the obvious is hard to explain without the next two arcs giving further depth into one all the races, and two depth on what the hell happened with Ichigo prior to birth. That sentence Aizen cuts out because Isshin snatches his son faster than life was going to be he is half Quincy. He doesn't have this convo with tensa Zangestu or Old Man Zangestu until the TYBW. Dangai Ichigo is acceptance due to circumstances that supercede his need for Knowledge he learns only final getsuga and just massive boost through three months of nonstop unending training he knows nothing else. True Shikari and beyond is his at least fully knowing his heritage from both his father and the Old Man. Hell he still barely learns anything but seeing as how Ichigo powers have always been affected by how he looks, the horn of salvation the true bankai the ability to use a gran rey cero the natural activation of blut vein. He may not have mastery but the potential for growth if he ever gets some idea of formal training experiences in anything that he represents, just for example can he take the concepts of Hirenyaku Sonido and Flash Step, to create a whole new speed base movement for himself. Shoot I went on a tangent my point however is the explanation for the form or better understanding happen long after it shows itself. It may not be mentioned much but all the information we get makes it easier to get. Now if Ichigo began the merging process over the last ten to twelve with his true Shikai and or Bankai well there's more to talk about. Also Mugestu is a technique I would assume the stronger he gets the better and powerful it would be if ever used it again
Yeah, he's much stronger with his True Zanpakutou. DBZimran is the type of person that used to think Kid Buu was the strongest before people corrected him(not a fact, just a feeling i have of him).
you're right... and I believe if Ichigo wants to use Mugetsu again he can, but TBH it will be over kill since he will be powerful enough to slice through the whole universe lol
@@JxFTW also it was kinda built for the sacrifice he was about have there but yea now all I can imagine is a line over energy cutting through the verse or I guess evaporating portion of the verse lol
@@MaxIronsThird I see the thought process your having there I prob wouldn't say I just thought maybe he used the title for what it was supposed to represent at the time. Side note kid Buu was dangerous because of that wild unpredictablility ,
That’s what Fullbring Bankai is It was quite literally stated Ichigo regained his powers back and his Fullbring mixed into it. Though I’m guessing you mean design wise rather than lore wise
I want to point out that the final gestsuga is not something Isshin whipped out of no where just for Ichigo. It is perhaps a practice passed down from the Shiba family as each generation has a Gestsuga Zanpakuto (Isshin: Engetsu, Ichigo: Zangetsu). So perhaps the unique part about the getsu family is the ability for the Zanpakuto to acknowledge and sacrifice both themselves and the shingamis whole power to attain the ultimate Final Gestsuga (because it truly is the final) as their Final and last resort to defeat an overwhelmingly powerful opponent. And for that to happen the shinigami has to accept the blade of their Zanpakuto in its entirety. For ichigos case that means both his Quincy and Hollow has to be merged because together they are his Zanpakuto in its entirety. It is foreshadowed here by Kubo before TYBW. NO! the point of the Final Gestsuga is not for the Zanpakuto to merge and harmonize, and NO! Ichigo did not acknowledge this harmony as he still doesn't see White/Hollow as his Zanpakuto (just like us b4 TYBW) and that's why he had the trouble with finding an Asauchi, having to learn his past to figure out he really is, and even then he still doesn't 100% realize it until Old man Zangetsu told him that White is his Zanpakuto. But Ichigos final gestsuga being a culmination of all his being together could say that his final gestsuga is the strongest in all of history, but we don't know because there were no other records, for good reason I mean for a shinigami to lose all their power they become useless, just a common soul and they'll lose their place in the seireitei. But at least for Ichigo he is a human so it's not that big of a deal. Those are the only points in the video I wanted to address that slightly rubbed me off the wrong way. Tho I do agree that perhaps due to Ichigos mixed nature (like the soul king) his final gestsuga form transcends transcendent Aizen
I am now more interested in who Isshin Kurosaki fought against, who used the mugetsu technique, because how does he know about it, and the evidence that his shinigami powers were disappearing was in the manga?
Yes it’s in the manga, his reason his power disappear is different from using mugetsu/final getsuga. Won’t spoil it though. They don’t show how he learns the technique too.
@@Bootleg_Sasuke he knows it bc ichigo has his swords spirit. Ichigo if he never had any quincy or white in him he would be just another version of his father with a slight difference.

Sorry mate, you didn't understand what final getsuga tensho was. Any explanation of final getsuga tensho has to start with: final getsuga tensho is Quincy Letzt Stil. Kubo put all the pieces to the puzzle in the story, people just didn't put them together since they were so far apart in the story and apparently didn't pay much attention. Remember what Quincy Letzt Stil was? The Quincy merges his hand with his weapon (the glove is put on and cannot be taken off again, thus merging the weapon with the hand). Once the weapon is taken off (the glove), the weapon turns from a physical representation into an ethereal representation (a weapon made out of Reiatsu > ishidas glove turned into his bow made out of reishi), and your power is increased several magnitudes over your previous state, in exchange for losing your powers forever afterwards. Further more, Letzt Stil means final style in German (and all Quincy attacks are German names). Final style. Final getsuga tensho. Sound familiar? Furthermore, Ichigos hand was merged with his weapon, until he took it off (it became a sword made out of reishi instead). Ishida used it and went from a chump to being able to 1 shot Mayuri, who at that point in the story was basically an undefeatable Captain class opponent to our protagonists. So okay, the characteristics of Letzt Stil and final getsuga tensho are basically exactly identical, and the name is basically the exact same phrase. But what does a quincy technique have to do with Ichigo who is a shinigami? Reread the arc where Ichigo is training with Ouetsu to rebuild his swords. Turns out Ichigo actually never used his shinigami powers before, and instead was using his Quincy powers that were pretending to be his shinigami powers the entire time (old man zangetsu is the Quincy representation of Ichigos power). So there is absolutely no arguing here that Ichigo was actually only using his Quincy and hollow powers during the fake karakura town arc. He never used his shinigami powers until then. What's the final power up for a quincy? Letzt Stil. Characteristics are the exact same? Check. The weapon with the hand merging is the same, the weapon turning into a reishi weapon is the same, getting a massive power boost for a single attack once the glove/weapon is taken off is the same, and losing your entire power afterwards is the same. It's basically the same technique from a characteristics standpoint. Was Ichigo using Quincy powers at that time? Check. Ouetsu confirmed that Ichigo had never been using his shinigami powers until then. Old man zangetsu was making Ichigo use his Quincy powers, pretending to be his shinigami powers. Exact same name of the technique, Letzt Stil > final style > final getsuga tensho? Check. How did Ichigo regain his powers? In a similar way to ishida. In a life and death situation. Check. It's been obvious that final getsuga tensho can only be Quincy Letzt Stil. I could say it's the most logical explanation, but it's more than that. It's so in your face that any other explanation can be safely discarded.
Everything about the final getsuga tensho i can agree with however, ichigo has been using his shinigamj powers the whole time. His shinigamj powers isn’t separate from his hollow powers. They are the same. Old man Zangetsu had just been limiting the amount of shinigami powers he could use. Ywach even said that Ichigo only awakened his Quincy powers when he was trapped inside that cage with Quilege. One other thing aswell is that even though final getsuga tensho has similarities to letz still, how can his dad use final getsuga tensho aswell?
Great analysis! Thanks! I, like many others, wish there was more information on how the mugetsu form compares with his end of series state. I don't think Kubo has given us the info on that but perhaps it will be addressed in some of the new content?
@@chillaxjokes yup and it is good. I was saying there was no other references to mugetsu in the last arc so we we don't know how the power levels compare
I remember, I think, it being said at one point that the length of his zanpakuto chain represents his power level or something, and given this context, I realize it represents his connection/acceptance of his hollow side (chain clearly a hollow symbol), and i think its increase in length is a visual hint in how much stronger he is because of this training.
I think what you're referring to is said during one of the first couple, if not in THE first episode, but it wasn't referring to chains, but the blade size. Rukia explains to Ichigo how Captains would have blades as large as skyscrapers if they didn't suppress their reiatsu so that wouldn't happen. When she first sees Ichigos Shinigami form, she's also surprised by the the size of his blade, foreshadowing that he's way more powerful than was to be expected back then.
@@rainbarfrex3434 Could be, but I think it was pretty specific about the length of the chain of his bankai. If I remember right, it was during a training scene where it is noted his chain has gained a few links, indicating his growth in power. Possibly could have been during the first filler arc, so might not be canon, but since it was trash I'm not keen check.
@@nickcorbett9612 Oooh right, now I remember something like that veeery vaguely, like it was just in a single short dialogue or something. Guess you could be right about that.
Simo Urahara was right then in saying that Shiro is not a white version of Ichigo but a person aizen used to perform a hollow experiment with and put it in Ichigo's mother. In Shiro's original form he had Zanpakto as arms which is why in this form he is bound to Ichigo's arm. Tite Kubo is a creative genius.
I was pretty upset when Ichigo used the Final GT because up to that point, he was still handling Aizen easily. It felt like Ichigo would've just flat out won and not have to sacrifice anything...
If he had continued fighting without using Mugetsu, Aizen would have just kept evolving to the point where he would have surpassed Ichigo. He had to use it, otherwise Aizen wouldn't have been brought to a weak enough state for Urahara's Kido seal to take effect.
His mother was hollowfied? I don't remember that. I remember aizen making a hollow shinigami being that ultimately became the base of ichigo. That's why rukia kept saying he looks like that one shinigami that died. That was him that aizen tuned into hollow and eventually became part of ichigo. He already had the latent strong hollow power because of aizen, along with the powerful quincy and powerful shinigami bloodline. It's been a while since I've seen it but that's how I recall it.
@@jocoolshow honestly don't remember. I recall that being my understanding when I read the Manga. From what I recall, aizen used the corpse of that shinigami rukia knew to make the hollow that ichigo's parents fought. This is also the reason why ichigo looks exactly like that shinigami, only with orange hair. That is why aizen always monitored ichigo and treats him like his experiment, because he is the byproduct of one of his creations.
I remember that too, wasn't the name of the hollow he made White? And i know he was created from multiple shinigami souls, i think that's what he said. And Ichigo became connected with this hollow because his mother got hollowfied but the howllow was somehow transferred to him or something like that. Basically it was the first main source of power for Ichigo and he still relies of it.
I am waiting for DBZ to use up all the colours of the rainbow. Ichigo's eyes are the one thing that stood out to me even to this day: they way they radiate with power, confidence, and deep sadness. It's sad that there is no mention of this form in the later chapters, nor are the true forms of his inner spirits, or their merged form, shown again.
All of this makes so much sense up to the point where he completely dominates aizen easily without any thread at all and just toys with him and cuts him when he feels liek it and then randomly decides to use the mugetso and throw away his powers, which doesnt even kill aizen but rather weakens him enough to activate the sealing. The way it was depictured ichigo could have gone forever cutting him without being touched and never using his mugetso in the first place and this was where I was kinda disapointed at the choices of progression because up to that point ichigos reason for growth in power was to protect and so throwing all of it away when he didnt absolutely needed to just didnt make sense. It felt like the creator knew he was going to give him back powers later and so simply didnt see any issues with him using that move and forcefully implemented a developement in ichigo where he has to get over loosing all of his powers for the sake of story extension. But as the viewer who doesn´t know what will happen later using the mugetso at the point where he did was just not understandable
I always thought that the Dangai form(before Mugetsu) is part of the Final Getsuga Tenshou technique. If he achieved this strength by just training then why didn't any of that strength translate to Fullbring Ichigo?
The manga says Fulbright +shingami ichigo is stronger then dangai pre-mugestsu or even in mugetsu. Ginjo is later shown to be similar to ichigo has his modd swings make him weaker or stronger, so fullbring ichigo overpowered him due to his inconsistent reiatsu. This is why we don't have ichigo blowing mountains in full bring he has control due to fullbring training unlike ginjo who is mentally unstable.
@@sarthakarora3212 I don't remember such statement in the manga, about Fulbright +shingami Ichigo being stronger than dangai. Do you know the chapter where this is stated? I just find it extremely hard to believe that Fullbring Ichigo can manhandle Transcended Aizen. Dangai Ichigo destroyed one of the most powerful kidos made by one of the most powerful beings by just flicking his hand but Fullbring Ichigo somehow got hurt by Ginjo's getsuga?
@@gistr8792 it's pretty clear after reading this comment section people are taking the fact Ichigo got his powers back to mean he's at the same power level as when he lost them. I think that's far from the case
@@gistr8792 did you buy the volume or not? You can clearly read the damn summary in every fullbring volume and kubo says everytime ichigo is the strongest he has ever been every damn volume.
@@paranoidpanzerpenguin5262 ginjo is stronger then final form aizen, the battle was just made quick due to self doubt and guilt, it's highlighted in CFYOW ginjo is equal to full power bankai ichigo post TYBW when he is enraged and has a clear mind cause he is big weakness of being bad at controlling his power like ichigo while having the trauma of losing his loved ones making a mental block thats makes his reiatsu inconsistent making him easy to defeat. Also, kubo has said he is a quincy so he is 100% made to be ichigo's older brother from another mother. (Kubo worded it in a way that implies both his parents are quincy).
u forgot something, How did Ishin know about the final getsuga tensho? unless he have reached it himself once. from the conversation he had with Ichigo it was implied that he reached it, another proof is that Ishin was not able to use his shinigami powers for a long time, since the birth of ichigo, he managed to re-awaken them during the arancar arc against grand fisher, check the conversation he had with Kisuke Urahara again.
not like that. it was related with masaki. when masaki died isshin's powers are started to come back slowly. but it was too slowly so it took almost 7-8 years to use them again at war. he said "he couldnt succeed at final getsuga". when ichigo and him at dangai. and i guess final getsuga tensho is a soul reaper technique but we saw this different form cuz ichigo has also hollow and soul reaper powers. so the technique originally has maybe a different form at his final than ichigo's form.
if old man zangetsu is the quincy powers and didnt want ichigo to fight using shinigami powers then why did he try to stop ichigo from getting the final getsuga tenshou?
I never quite understood while watching the anime why he unleashed his final form when Dangai Ichigo was far more powerful than Aizen to begin with. He was parrying him with ease so it felt like he final getsuga tenshou just to move the plot along for the bount arc. He could have remained in Dangai form and finished the job...in my opinion.
He may have been stronger than Aizen but Aizen was constantly evolving and healing himself, he would’ve killed Ichigo after some time so Ichigo needed something to one shot Aizen - that’s when the Final Getsuga comes in
@@granntorino3931 Aizen couldn't even feel his spiritual pressure when Ichigo transformed. It seemed like a rushed transition to set the stage for him losing his powers for the next arc is all I'm saying. He barely fought him or tried in his Dangai form. It's my favorite part of the anime up to this point so I'm not mad at it but it never quite set right with me how quickly the fight transitioned to the end when the buildup was so great
@@comedianking83 being able to feel Ichigo's reiatsu didn't matter the moment Aizen used Fragor to bust his arm showing us he could hurt him and was getting close to Ichigo which for him was the indication he couldn't keep playing with him.
@@shadymann9468 Ichigo basically allowed him to do that. Felt like a flex as I watched and rewatched it. Much like when the others were fighting Aizen before going to the soul society and none could feel his spiritual pressure but could still land blows on him. All I'm saying is that him using the final getsuga tenshou was a foregone conclusion from the beginning but the set up to using it felt rushed. There wasn't compelling info given to call for it when it was used, especially looking at how the build up to the fight was presented
Because Aizen would’ve kept evolving into a state where Dangai Ichigo would’ve been overpowered. Heck just one single slash from Dangai Ichigo forced him to evolve into a higher state where he was able to damage him. So going into TGF and unleashing “Mugetsu” was a far much better shot of defeating Aizen in a single hit than possibly dragging out the fight with the risk of more evolutions from Aizen.
I actually think it will be cannon that tensa zangetsu had to merge with white/ichi hollow, because Tensa zangetsu at the tike was really old man Bach pretending to be ichis shinigami powers. When in reality at the time that ichigo was born and white moved from his mom over to him white merged with and white himself became ichigos zanpaktou. If old man Bach didn't have white teach ichi everything about his zanpaktou then ichi never would have been able to learn it, at least not with him having to learn from his zanpaktou, so when ichigo is learning bankai and everytime he's losing a fight white is the one to step in and help, in some cases even telling ichigo exactly what he needs to hear to get his mind right. I don't think ichigo could have learned dangai if it was from old man back alone, hike bringing white into the mix was because white is literally the only one that can teach ichigo dangai having been his true zanpaktou at the time
I agree with a lot of points you have mentioned. There is a few I'd like to mention: 1. When Ichigo tells Isshin that he cant beat Aizen because he can sense how overwhelming Aizen's reiatsu is, Isshin realized that Ichigo has evolved in a similar dimension as Aizen, at that point in time, but he has not mastered it yet. This is due to his prior fight with Ulquiorra in which his hollow powers has totally awakened, thus he has unlocked the potential of his hollow/shinigami powers. All he needs to do is master it in the dangai. 2. In his training in the dangai, both Old Man Zangetsu (OZM) and Hollow Ichigo (Shirosaki) explained they are one and they are Ichigo's powers. Flashback to Ichigo's fight with Zaraki, Shirosaki said the same thing such that him and OZM are like life and death of a soul. If life rules, the soul takes the form of a flesh while if death rules, the soul's flesh is removed revealing the bones. What this means is that Ichigo's first Zanpakuto is the amalgamation of all his powers, hollow-shinigami-quincy. The foundation/bones is Shirosaki covered/sealed by the flesh/blade which is OZM. Thus Dangai Ichigo practically mastered all of these powers. Sadly this form is undone as the world corrects the time shift he gained from the dangai. 3. Dangai Ichigo is stronger than Dual Blade Ichigo. Both Zangetsu is different. Dangai Ichigo haven't understood the nature of his Zanpakuto but mastered its capabilities in his training in the Dangai. It is the closest Ichigo was with his Zanpakuto representing its fusion with Ichigo's hand. Dual Blade Zangetsu is when Ichigo's power is reforged to a new zanpakuto in which he has truly understood its nature. Ouetsu tried to separate both Zangetsu as Shirosaki is Ichigo's true zanpakuto as a shinigami, and without OZM, Yhwach cant manipulate Ichigo's reiatsu. However Ichigo still put OZM into the hot asauchi resulting into two blades. This new form of Zangetsu corresponds to new characteristic and capabilities in which Ichigo has to master to surpass Dangai Ichigo. With his horn of salvation plus bankai he has surpassed Dangai Ichigo with more potential of growth. 4. In my opinion, Ichigo's strongest form is Vasto Lorde Ichigo as Ichigo's true shinigami power is Shirosaki, his true zanpakuto. I believe shinigami and quincy power cannot truly harmonize, they are like oil and water, polar opposite if each other, quincy is life while shinigami is death. If Ichigo sticks only with Shirosaki, he is much stronger.
Could we have a Kensei Muguruma Analysis? He's my favorite character in the series, most interesting zanpakuto in my opinion, and a potentially tied as the strongest of the Vizard.
Lol honestly until his fruit awakening I never thought of Luffy as having over the top transformations. It always just felt appropriate and like he was making the best of his basic devil fruit (now we know it’s something else, but I’m not dropping the spoiler since this is like 1000+ chapters in). Especially for how long you had to wait for them lol. And fruit awakenings are really rare 😂. I mean I think as of just recently we’ve only seen it 4 total. And we had only saw Dofi before kid, law and Luffy.
If he didn't beat kaido and big mom, what was his biggest achievement for the past two decades??? Beating katakuri and dofla? Onepiecetards always talking about non sense
@@kennethangelo4924 you obviously haven’t watched it. He’s liberated many kingdoms along his journey surmounting him a huge following (his grand fleet) and territories; which is part of being an emperor. Plus everytime he gains a crew member it feels meaningful because Oda puts the time in to make each of them feel impactful with a cool back story. Feats wise I could go on and on. There’s people that have watched it and people who haven’t it. And we can tell those who have from normies who haven’t.
Maybe Ichigo really lost Soul Reaper portion permanently he inherited from Father but soul reaper portion and quincy portion he inherited from mother and arrancar hollow became dormant after 'Mugetsu'. Maybe before becoming dormant, those powers were also in play with Soul Reaper power inherited from Father when fighting against hogyoku fused Aizen in arrancar arc. If my above theory is true, then perhaps True Bankai form was almost either equal to Dangai form or little bit stronger or maybe little bit weaker because of permanent loss of Soul reaper portion inherited from Father.
Please can we stip with this "transcendant" nonsense. To this day people still take Aizen's delusional ramblings and ego as fact instead of the hyperbole it is.
that change of appearance in Ichigo's Bankai after training inside the Dangai is somehow similar to the change of Renji's Bankai? like Hihio Zabimaru into So-Oh Zabimaru but way much stronger, idk if I explained myself correctly
going back to this video, and seeing TYBW play out that'll eventually elude to the Hell Arc... I just have a feeling this version of Yhwach is gonna come back. As Ichigo always viewed white and black as 'old man zangetsu'
the reason why White Zangetsu and Tensa Zangetsu merged is because they share the same goal. Protect Ichigo
I wish my mental state had the same goal :/
Is Tensa Zangetsu different from Ichigo’s Quincy side?
@@Sergote12 no he's the Quincy side but looks younger because Ichigo is in bankai
@@TheRazzyBear mood
No its because white and tensa merged is the actual true appearance of his zanpakuto, had white not influenced ichigos birth it would have been just regular tensa tho
Ichigo overcoming his despair to save his hometown and the world was powerful. He emerged calmly determined and ready, it serves as the opposite of Aizen's total breakdown when he's finally cornered and sealed. Ichigo undergoing this struggle and emerging as a mature warrior will always top the series.
@@trspanda2157 Nobody gives a shit
Gin throughout it was cool too, especially on a second watch. Basically coaches him until he sees ichigo despair then tells him the hard truth to put him in an ultimatum then of course Gin smiling when he sees him again knowing Ichigo got through it instead of succumbing.. pretty neat.
When he grabbed Aizen by the face and flew him out of town, I lost it. That was sick. And then it was his blade destroying mountains, not Aizen, then Aizen couldn’t sense Ichigo’s spiritual pressure because it was so much higher than his, and broke Aizen’s kido. The whole thing was freakin goated.
Yea
Dont forget him blocking aizen's blade with his bare hand
Dangai Ichigo is actually a perfect example of Miyamoto Musashi's principle of a battle. I think we can all achieve some kind of dangai through continues progression and gaining control over ourselves.
Not through continuous progression and gaining control over ourselves because the ones who we are trying to control are ourselves just like a finger which can't touch itself, a tongue can't taste itself and eyes can't see themselves. So the only way is to let go of all resistance just like what ichigo did during his training in dangai because any resistance is an act of trying to gain self-control which is a futile effort. Only when ichigo lets go of all resistance which is signified by ichigo letting go of his sword comes the immediate and ultimate understanding in bleach (also in life) that you and your zanpakto are not two. The immediaticity of this understanding is symbolized by ichigo getting stabbed by fused-zangetsu's sword.

@@darksan7094 i just looked him up why is he brown 😭
Ichigo was able to achieve transcendence because he was taught by urahara to listen to his zanpaktou. A typical shunigami is trained to subdue their zanpaktou and that's including Aizen and most especially Zaraki.
This is the swords man's journey. He picks up the sword, learns the sword, masters the sword, merges with the sword & lastly abandons the sword coming back full circle.
Zaraki didn't subdue his zanpaktou. He just never acknowledged it. He just wanted to battle. Well luckily for him his zanpaktou materialised as a child and stayed with him. I think Aizen understood his sword's powers but he didn't feel completed by it. He lost sight of his sword in the end and hence why the hogyouko deemed him weaker, hence the seal of urahara automatically activated.
He didn't listen to it though. He supressed it. The white "hollow" ichigo is his true zanpaktou not the man in black.
Sisyphus Speedrun
@@johntipsy7333saying that Zaraki never acknowledge his zanpakto is wild.
Bro is dense as fuck, that's a more fitting word for him.
One of my favorite things about aizen arc is that the whole point of the hogyoku is that mixing shinigami and hollow lets you break your potentiol limit and exceed anything you thought possible. But while aizan attempted to do this, ichigo kind did it on accident your zanpakto is a manifestation of your soul as a familier/weapon its a part of you and is kinda you. So his shinigami and hollow powers merging just made him exactly what aizan was attempting to do
It was aizens plan for this to happen
yeah but aizen transcended 2 plains of existence ichigo transcended 3 (thats why aizen couldnt feel his reiatsu)
Zanpakuto have their own spirits separate from the user 🗿
The hogyoku isn’t about mixing hollow and shinigamj powers. It’s simply a guide that manifests the desires of the user and the people around them. However the hogyoku will not do anything unless the target has the potential/power to do so therefore it is regarded as a guide
his shinigami and hollow powers were already fused. it was quincy's power, Letzt Stil, mixing with his hollow/shinigami powers that made him so powerful
I like the theory that while the other members of the five Noble families have a hereditary Zanpakuto that is passed down, but comes with a dangerous risk, the Shiba family instead have a technique that enables you to transcend to Godhood, but only if you are able to fully understand and accept yourself.
I think that would be a nice way of illustrating that the Shiba family have always been more altruistic and willing to sacrifice themselves, just like how their ancestor opposed the mutilation of the Soul King and volunteered to take his place. Which could have hinted that he might have been on a similar level of transcendence as the Soul King.

He was scared of Ichigo true bankai that’s why he stopped him from using it. The power of the soul king. Yhwach is also the soul kings son & ichigo ancestor
Its good to mention that during Dangai Ichigo's debut, Aizen was the one who wasnt able to sense Ichigo's reiatsu
FINALLY. To this day, I still don't fully understand what Dangai Ichigo really is like how it actually works, the abilities and what it truly is. To be fair, I was never really into the power mechanics of Bleach since it could be very convoluted and kinda baffling sometimes but Imran my man, thanks for making these Bleach Explained videos. You made it very intriguing and easy to understand.
Because most people didn't put the pieces together.
Final getsuga tensho is nothing other than Quincy Letzt Stil.
You use it to gain immense amounts of power momentarily, and then lose all your powers.
We know for a fact that Ichigo at this point in time had NO shinigami powers (Ouetsu confirms this later in the story).
Instead it was his Quincy powers pretending to be his shinigami powers.
What is the final power up a quincy can use? Quincy Letzt Stil. Later on Quincy vollständig was introduced as a superior form, but there is nothing to argue here that final getsuga tensho is Quincy Letzt Stil.
It has the exact same characteristics as Letzt Stil, and the name is literally the same. Letzt Stil means final style in German (which Quincy powers are based on, German names). Final getsuga tensho is basically the "final style".
This entire video didn't understand absolutely anything about what final getsuga tensho was.
@@gh0un This is so crazy. So just Ichigo's Quincy power alone (without the other Quincy abilities) was enough to overpower the monster fused form of Aizen?
@@BigBoomOfDoom2 It was Quincy Letzt Stil combined with his Vasto Lorde level hollow powers.
Basically the pinnacle of his hollow powers combined with the pinnacle of his Quincy powers.
This is apparent from the fact that young Tensa Zangetsu has half his face covered with the vasto lord mask when we see the flashback of how Ichigo fought young Tensa Zangetsu to gain knowledge of final getsuga tenshou.
This is also consistent with what old man Zangetsu told Ichigo later on.
He was pretending to be his shinigami powers, and pitted those powers against Ichigos inner hollow to give him enough power to win the fights he was involved in.
This kind of gives us an idea what butterflaizen was all about. His butterfly form looked angelic. What else has an angelic theme? Quincies.
Quincy vollständig designs were always angelic in theme (with the elite stern Ritter having angelic halos over their heads, and talking about being godlike beings).
Furthermore Quincy attacks use angelic names (in German) and angelic themes. Ywachs Kirchenlied Sankt-Zwinger, is German and means Holy church song, forced sanctum.
The Quincy cross is obviously angelic in theme as well.
Aizen looked like an angel in butterfly form, so ill take an educated guess that that was Aizen's Quincy form. In fact, that's exactly why his sword fused with his arm (and why Ichigos sword also fused with his arm).
Remember the Quincy glove that uryuu had to put on? He basically fuses his weapon with his hand to become more powerful. And to become even more powerful, he removes the glove and gains Quincy Letzt Stil.
Ichigo fusing his hand with his weapon, is basically him wearing his weapon like a glove, the Quincy theme is apparent. Once he takes his "glove" off again, he himself becomes the weapon, so he gains an ethereal blade while he has new armor on. Remember how uryuu suddenly had an armor on when he used Quincy Letzt Stil and how the bow came out of his back as ethereal form?
Similarly, butterflaizen also merged his hand with his sword, following the same logic.
Angelic look + fusing of the weapon with the hand.
Only reason why Ichigo kept looking like a shinigami, is because Zangetsu was pretending to be his shinigami powers.
So butterflaizen was Aizen's shinigami powers mixed with newly developing Quincy elements. Later on Hollow elements mixed in as well and he looked like a hollow in the final confrontation.
Aizen clearly wasn't able to use Quincy Letzt Stil however, and neither was his hollow side developed, so he was beaten by Ichigo who had attained perfection in both his hollow and Quincy sides at this point (even if the pinnacle for his Quincy side only lasts a few seconds).
I'm quite certain that this explains a whole bunch of questions that a reader might have had about what Aizen's transformations were.
@marvelronaldo9786 I don't really care which is stronger tbh, because thousand year blood war arc was such a rushed and unpolished story, that I'm kinda leaning on considering it to be filler, or a very bad story.
A bit of build up here and there with vast amounts of rushed characters, coupled with rushed storylines, and then in the end a bunch of unresolved Threads that were just left dangling. Thousand blood year was total dogshit, and the anime Adaption is shining more light on how bad it is.
@@gh0un people tend to not see that black (Senrei) glove on the hand of the Dangai Ichigo, do they?
Great video as always DBZimran, Dangai was short but impactful. A tortured soul, really loved how Kubo designed Dangai Ichigo same with Ichigo as a whole.
That theme song still hits man. Ichigo went ssj4…that’s how I ranked Ichigo’s forms from bankai to Dangai. Bankai being 1, masked up being 2, hollow berserker being 3 and of course Dangai being 4. The greatest moment in bleach in my opinion. I know the anime will help change my mind when it returns in October but we’ll see.
How you feeling about the anime so far? I feel like his first encounter with yhwach he already went way beyond anything before.
@@tarantulamadness6191 it is AMAZING!!! I was utterly shocked when they briefly clashed!! I can’t wait until the rematch
There is still something which needs to be said, you said that "this form came out of nowhere" which is not true. To understand we need to look at the power system of bleach. Now the power system in bleach is based on the relationship between a zanpakto & its user. The closer they are the stronger they become. That's why Shikai is all about learning the name of your zanpakto, bankai is all about forming a master-servant relationship. Now it was already stated that you need to put your spiritual energy into an empty blade (asauchi) to form your zanpakto that means zanpakto is a part of you because remember everything in bleach is made up of spiritual energy so putting your spiritual energy into a nameless blade means you are putting a part of yourself into that nameless blade. So that's how a relationship between a zanpakto and a user should be, that the user should understand that he and his Zanpakto are one and this understanding is the key to ultimate power in bleach. So during the final getsuga training by letting go of his sword ichigo also lets go of all his prejudices, and resistance towards his blade which is beautifully followed by hollow-zangetsu stabbing ichigo which symbolises the immediate understanding of oneness you will have once you let go of all prejudices and resistance. So I hope I was able to explain my point, thank you for reading.
Agree. I love quote from white ichigo about king and his horse
@@danurkresnamurti3598 Yes that fight was also interesting because you see in that fight ichigo resisted white and in the end stabbed white to control him which is beautifully contrasted by the final getsuga tenshou training where ichigo lets go of his blade and gets stabbed by fused-zangetsu (I.e. ichigo didn't put resistance and just simply accepted it ).
actually I truly think this was the letzt stil that uryu used all the way back in the SS arc, just this time instead of only having his quincy power, that letzt stil is used by pouring all of his latent power into this one final getsuga, which ties in perfectly with the xcution arc where the method he regained his powers is identical to the way that uryu regained his power as well an "arrow" shot at a very close distance, however in ichigo's case it's a reishi sword stabbed into his heart, which is almost identical to the spirit weapon method uryu regained his power with
Nice explanation, but it still doesn't explain why Ichigo got so much stronger in such a brief period of time. Like you have to realize this. Aizen even prior to the hogyoku was probably in the top 5 soul reapers. He was exceptionally gifted in both combat and intellect. Combine that with the hogyoku and he became a transcended being.
Ichigo does some training, accepts his zanpaktou and learns the final getsugatensho and somehow becomes far stronger than one of the strongest soul reapers that has also fused with the hogyoku.
I am sorry, but that makes no sense whatsoever. Why is Ichigo that strong all of a sudden. It really doesn't scale properly with what we've seen from him so far in the story. For him to just play around with Aizen like he is some low level hollow is wild and really just makes this form feel like an asspull with all due respect.
@@hazey5736 okay here are few things,
1. Aizen didn't become a transcendent being. Aizen was under the delusion that he was a transcendent being and his bubble was busted when he was faced with a real transcendent being (i.e. ichigo). The case is different in the final arc where we see a true transcendent aizen.
2. Actually if you have read the manga you would know ichigo's backstory and why ichigo has that ridiculous amount of potential and about the "limiter" on his powers. So it's not really surprising that he became that powerful when his "limiter" is released and he is able to display his full potential.
3. If you have read CFYOW light novel then you would know that ancestors of the shiba clan were searching for a technique which will allow them to replace the soul king. Considering the fact that the final getsuga tenshou is a technique of shiba clan which allows the user to achieve great power. It's highly likely that "final getsuga" is the technique shiba ancestors came up with to replace the soul king. So basically ichigo came to a similar order of power to the soul king during his fight with aizen. So i guess that says a lot. ( I would recommend you to check out the video simourahara made on this, he was the first one to point this out.)
Damn I love ur videos keep them coming man. You're one of the best
He's a true G
dangai ichigo might not be the strongest version of ichigo but he is THE ABSOLUTE COOLEST ICHIGO
@CATE2917 cops it’s true 😹🙏
Well Ichigo could sense Aizen for the fact that he wasn't far from his power, he was the only one that was close enough and had enough potential to reach and defeat Aizen, that's why he trained him
I don't believe his ability to sense was ever tied to Transcendence. Think back to the beginning. Rukia was surprised he could sense and locate others. This was considered very advanced. Now consider his lineage. Consider that Quincy are innately as to sense and manipulate spirit energy.
Ya, his ability to funnel his spirit energy and amplify it through the swing of his sword could be considered similar to the Quincy with drawing their bows to gather their spirit energy to a single point.
i think it was more tied to ichigo being so much stronger then isshin that he was still able to sense Aizens reiatsu
Through the series Kubo firmly shows us that you cant sense the spiritual power of someone who is vastly stronger than you, that's why normal people can't sense shinigami even next to them. But even as a normal human, Ichigo could sense them. Fast foward, Ichigo was the only one who could sense Aizen's power at all. At that point, Isshin didn't know if Ichigo had inherited Masaki's quincy powers, he only knew that his son was the only one with any hope of bridging the gap between them and Aizen's newfound strenght. That comes full circle whe *Aizen couldnt sense Dangai Ichigo's power as well* , no matter how further he evolved in that last battle. That's why he was so desperate at the end, he knew that even though he became everything he had envisioned as his perfect ascension, Ichigo was still so overwelmingly stronger than him that he couldn't even sense his power. Sensing someone's power in Bleach is the *bare minimum* you need to even hope to defeat them.
Bonus: when Ichigo transformed into a Vasto Lorde, his spiritual power was so incredible dense that it physically manifested itself and poured like rain on Hueco Mundo, that's why Ishida and Orihime were able to feel it.
@@Fahel14 That bonus piece of information you said was metal as hell. Imagine having spiritual power so dense that it pours out of you and manifests into rain.
I think it was a glimpse of his full power quincy included because zangetsu was in his horn of salvation form when he gave ichigo the blade. Bleach has a great mastery of foreshadowing. And what I think we saw was how powerful he really was. Not necessarily everything he's capable of doing but just raw power
We already have Dangai Ichigo in TYBW.
It's his Composure, just look how foul he is at beating the bambies.
HE ALSO TOLD CANDICE TO DODGE IT.
one thing that people never understand is the fact that nobody could feel ichigos reiatsu anymore including Aizen. And aizen perfectly explained what is going on when others can not feel ur reiatsu anymore. Aizen was already so far ahead in strenght that he had to purposely reduce his reiatsu to let high-tier shinigami feel it. Yet Ichigo was so far ahead of aizen that not even aizen himself could feel ichigo's reiatsu anymore. People do not understand this one bit. Ichigo at the end arc who mastered all his powers and didn't got handicapped anymore by the old man, still could be felt by other shinigamis. This means that he was at least reiatsu wise way worse than dangai ichigo. Also I don't get that response from most, saying true bankai ichigo beats dangai ichigo, cuz zangetsu said that he always blocked ichigos reiatsu. sure he did, but there is no fucking way u can tell me dangai ichigo had reiatsu blocked. Zangetsu didn't block ichigo's reiatsu when he went dangai. also dangai could be some different type of form. People say dangai ichigo fully mastered his shinigami powers but that's it, while true bankai ichigo mastered everything. But i think dangai ichigo is a special form beyond "mastering a form" hence why he used final getsuga tenshou form to try and finish off aizen. He probably already was in a form that ends up in losing all of his powers. Maybe he used smth similar that the quincys use, like vollständig? Isn't vollständig a move that ends up in losing all of their powers? Since ichigo has quincy in himself, the old man probably unlocked vollständig on a over-trained ichigo to empower is strenght. In the end dangai ichigo or true bankai ichigo, neither of the both would make a difference vs yhwach because his ability was legit hacks. But dangai ichigo could have finished off yhwach with 1 swing before he awakens his real power, because he would be completely superior to everyone with his raw strenght.
Long story short:
True bankai ichigo is a ichigo that is the closest to perfection all abilitys that he himself has inside him (quincy hollow shinigami powers/techniques/real bankai and more)
Dangai ichigo = basically a zaraki type of ichigo version (not even close of having all ability unlocked/techniques or true bankai, but a overpowered force of spiritual reiatsu/strenght/speed)
@marvelronaldo9786Dangai ichigo is literally just False Bankai ichigo with some months of training and getting closer with Zangetsu.
True shikai ichigo is him fully accepting and using all of his powers. True Shikai easily surpasses Dangai
His entrance and fight with Aizen was so great I occasionally go back and rewatch the episode.
The greatest fight in Bleach up to date. the emotion, the power scaling, the Mugetsu. I could go on....
That wasn't a fight....it was rotflstomp

@@jocoolshow😐
@@mich7978 Ichigo vs Ginjo and Ichigo vs Kageroza in OG Bleach anime, and Ichigo vs Yhwach in TYBW episode 7 were much better fights from a choreographic standpoint.
The final fight of FKT was lackluster
I've always wondered why Ichigo's growth was so explosive. He attains different levels of strength in weeks or months when it took the captains hundreds or thousands of years.
Bro have you seen the episode where Ichigo is finding his own bankai?
@@Polymerata I read every chapter as they came out
Because it’s due to his crazy lineage. He has royal blood flowing through him from his Dad and we already know noble families possess high reiatsu. He also has White, the hollow that was artificially created by Aizen through mixing hundreds of soul reaper souls.
And finally, his Quincy blood from his mother
That’s why he can have such explosive growths
Before watching the video, the "strongest form" is wrong. Yhwach stated that True Shikai Ichigo is the strongest he's ever been, which means that True Shikai is superior if not equal to Mugetsu, and Mugetsu is superior to Dangai. Before y'all say "oh you're wrong Dangai and Mugetsu are the strongest form of Ichigo", it's a statement by Yhwach so I don't think I made a huge logical leap if I say that True Shikai Ichigo is superior or equal to Mugetsu.
This form and Mugetsu are his strongest forms. They're beyond bankai.
Their power level at the Deicide Arc may have been less than or equal to the power level of TYBW True Shikai, but the forms themselves are literally beyond his highest form in TYBW.
For a similar analogy, think of Dangai/Mugetsu as Super Saiyan. Base Goku in the Buu arc scales far above his Super Saiyan state in the Namek arc, but that doesn't make his base form stronger than his Ssj form.
Meh, mugetsu is stronger simply because of the repercussions of using it. When a single attack burns out all your abilities, you know its the final strongest attack/form.
It's all relative. If Ichigo after unlocking his true Zanpaktou was to unleash the Final Getsuga after allllllllllllll that growth, it would still be the strongest form he can take.
@@sageoverheaven
It's literally stated by Yhwach that True Shikai is the strongest Ichigo has ever been. And that's not including True Bankai and HoS. It's literally stated by another character there's no way Dangai and Mugetsu are stronger than True Shikai and True Bankai
@@sageoverheaven isn’t dangai ichigo just the epitome of his soul reaper powers?
By the EOS, ichigo is a completely different character with completely different capabilities. He’s not just pulling from one pool of powers anymore, he’s pulling from all of them.
Dangai ichigo = soul reaper ichigo at 100%
Bankai EOS ichigo = All of ichigo at 100%
i always liked this form and i always feel so happy when i see the episode where this form appears and i wanted to let my hair to grow like ichigo's hair in this form
just the start of the video gave me those chills from back then; that form/scene is iconic
Awesome explaination
I still have some certain questions why does ichigo never been able to achieve this form again like if he trained like this again would he be able to achieve this again ??
Because this form is only achieved if he's ready to sacrifice all his Shinigami powers, for a Final Getsuga Tenshou.
So doing it again, doesn't really make any sense I think since he already achieved his True Shikai and True Bankai
@@verde6043 final getsuga tenshou with his true bankai imagine just the power
@@ercterburn1053 Yeah, that would be something alright.
what are even saying? he surpassed this level by achieving true bankai. Horn of salvation form is really OP, dangai much weaker.
He doesn't need this form anymore because he finally accept who he really is.
Really the only question that I still have lingering over this section of the story is what was Isshins Plan A to stopping Aizen before realizing that Kototsu was destroyed, seeing how without that particular stroke of luck he would never of had time to help Ichigo achieve his Dangai Form.
Final getsuga. Isshin can also use it. Albeit to a much lesser degree.

Thanks for the DBZimran video, I can finally understand Ichigo Dangai's abilities, it's my second favorite transformation of him, along with the Getsuga Tenshou Final 🧡🖤
thx for the vid new understanding was given every time i watch your vids i just remmeber how muchh i love bleach
When I kept seeing Aizen power up more and more, one of my initial reactions was "aw crap, at this point, we need to mobilize Goku to take him down!"
I think this is Kubo at his best. Perfectly executed and weaved together with the rest of the narrative.
Subbed. Thoroughly explained.
I love Bleach, read the Manga Twice and watched the Anime and it was never even really explained what exactly his Bankai does.
Like every other Bankai has some sort of Mechanic but Ichigos is never stated.
That’s why i started to believe that his Bankai is basically exchanging Reiatsu for Physical Improvement. He becomes faster and stronger in his Bankai.
And thats why i think that the Ultimate Getsuga Tensho is exchanging all of his Reiatsu, therefore loosing his Shinigami Powers, for an Insane Boost in every physical way.
Tatsuki is able to feel Aizens crushing spiritual pressure but she isnt feeling anything from Ichigo. And Aizen even says himself that he is disappointed in Ichigo because he cant feel no spiritual Pressure anymore.
The combination of his absurd reiatsu trough his Genes and consuming it all for Power was what made him so strong that not even Aizen was a Match against him.
I think Ichigo's hollow powers represent his id as an allusion to Freudian psychology. The shinigami power represent his super-ego, and when Ichigo was able to reconcile and accept these two parts of himself, he was able to grow as an individual. The quincy powers represent his ego btw, which keeps the id and super-ego in check.
His hollow powers ARE his shinigami powers they were one and the same since birth.
Great work
I looooved this. I was so fascinated by the look, and constantly wondering why it looked like that and what was going on
You explain one point wrong: the one who called himself “Tensa Zangetsu” whas the younger version of Juha bach, the quincy powers. Which grabbed the “hollow” which whas the fusion of the hollow and zanpakuto. What made the dangai so special whas the fact of the quincy and hollow/zanpakuto that fused together as one. And imhothe reason why aizen couldn’t feel ichigo.
Perfectly put!
@CEO of Sōsuke Aizen Yeah he was stated to be on a dimensional tier higher then him, thats why nobody could feel Aizen's power cause he was a lot stronger then them, this applies to Ichigo when he went dangai.
@CEO of Sōsuke Aizen which whas created thanks to accepting the blade who came from the fusion of his powers instead of the quincy side limiting the hollow/zanpakuto they worked togheter which broke the boundaries. The hole point why aizen wanted the hougyoku. The reason why only ichigo could feel him… otherwise urahara would’ve been able to feel him too. Yes its the level but i posted the part HOW he reached it.
Yeah I came here to say this, I thought the quincy element at play was the ability to use a final form aka "use all your power remaining power in one burst, then lose it", like how uryu did against kurotsuchi
@@willsoe Its probably a varient of that, cause Mugetsu Ichigo was technically the 5th stage of a zanpaktou, The 4th stage Dangai was when the zanpaktou started to fuse with hin as shown in his arm, and the 5th stage is complete fusion. Its a technique and a form at the same time.
imagine him using the Final Getsuga in his true Shikai form that would be crazy OP
🔥I would love to see this form again in the HELL ARK and wonder if it would have a new design Do to Ichigos true shika and bankai.
i dont think that would be possible since Ichigo had done it only once and it cost him his soul reaper powers and for him to go that form again could mean the death of him or he will not be able to use fullbring powers that he got in the last anime arc
For what reason would he need to use this again? He now has power that has a level of equivalence to it WITHOUT the major debuff of losing his powers. Do you even understand that he loses his powers using this mode?
@@quavoking I just said I would love to see it and I'm sorry I didn't know you for saw the future where he doesn't ever use it again. Also you forget this is a jump manga ma boi will find a way to get a back if he ever did.

People always forget that in anime Aizen stated that he reached power beyond people imagination and they will not be able to feel his reiatsu because of difference in power. And Tatsuki when she first time saw Dangain Ichigo stated that she does not feel anything from him, but she could feel the Aizens reiatsu. That's a hint he was way stronger then Aizen and there is nothing to do with his power source being Quincy, Shinigami or Human. Ishin just felt that he can be the only one to stand up against Aizen because he was his father and he had to believe in him.
You got the concept but your a little off. Aizen stated that he made it to where humans can see him if he didn’t they couldn’t because of him being a higher being that’s why she could feel his power. Know here’s the thing. Aizen said he couldn’t feel ichigos aura and even came to the conclusion that he gave it up for physical strength because Aizen is super cocky. So ichigo was a higher being than aizen. The reason is because aizen was a soul reaper and hollow. But ichigo was 4 different things hallow,human,Quincy,hollow. 4d being or something like that
@@cathd5675 3 different qunicy are humans except yhwach.
Dangai Ichigo should have been the final form achieved to beat ywach. Peak Shinigami reiatsu and Bankai powers, with Arancar abilities (getsuga is basically cero) using quincy volstandig (Mugetsu)
i really like your videos
Can you do a video of all the hogyoku forms of aizen?
Hollowfied tensa zangetsu looks so damn cool and I love that ichigo looks like them when he fights yhwach in the final battle.
Added detail to 01:38 is that Ichigo's Shihakusou had become that of Zangetsu itself. It's best seen on his left arm. Where the cloth around the wrist is the same as with Old Man Zangetu's.
I only watched fights, episodes wise I got to 50. Dangai Ichigo is how I wished he looked at all times, just looks wise, I was so sad when it vanished, man :(
Another wonderful video.
While the final getsuga requires an understanding and acceptance of your powers, it also required a sacrifice. That is your zanpakto sacrifices itself for what YOU want. This is why black zangetsu was against it because he also knew that there were still things to protect Ichigo from. But in the end he agrees and so fuses/is tied with ichigo. You can say this was the ULTIMATE subjugation of a zanpakto.
Also Ichigo isn't Smart because black zangetsu practically tells him the white zangetsu were his real powers but ichigo doesn't ask what he (black zangetsu) was - A Quincy. But to be fair I can't tell if anyone had realized it then 😂 so a great foreshadowing by Tite again 🥺
The Dangai realm is like the Hyperbolic time chamber from DBZ and the Astral world from Berserk. Remember the cell saga, where Goku and Gohan trained after Vegeta and Trunks training, and you get stronger and the Astral world from Berserk where time flows differently than in the physical, this is something like that in the Dangai realm.
From a personal standpoint as cool as dangai Ichigo is and all that entails hims the concept of what that is and why it matters other than the obvious is hard to explain without the next two arcs giving further depth into one all the races, and two depth on what the hell happened with Ichigo prior to birth. That sentence Aizen cuts out because Isshin snatches his son faster than life was going to be he is half Quincy. He doesn't have this convo with tensa Zangestu or Old Man Zangestu until the TYBW. Dangai Ichigo is acceptance due to circumstances that supercede his need for Knowledge he learns only final getsuga and just massive boost through three months of nonstop unending training he knows nothing else. True Shikari and beyond is his at least fully knowing his heritage from both his father and the Old Man. Hell he still barely learns anything but seeing as how Ichigo powers have always been affected by how he looks, the horn of salvation the true bankai the ability to use a gran rey cero the natural activation of blut vein. He may not have mastery but the potential for growth if he ever gets some idea of formal training experiences in anything that he represents, just for example can he take the concepts of Hirenyaku Sonido and Flash Step, to create a whole new speed base movement for himself. Shoot I went on a tangent my point however is the explanation for the form or better understanding happen long after it shows itself. It may not be mentioned much but all the information we get makes it easier to get. Now if Ichigo began the merging process over the last ten to twelve with his true Shikai and or Bankai well there's more to talk about. Also Mugestu is a technique I would assume the stronger he gets the better and powerful it would be if ever used it again
Yeah, he's much stronger with his True Zanpakutou.
DBZimran is the type of person that used to think Kid Buu was the strongest before people corrected him(not a fact, just a feeling i have of him).
you're right... and I believe if Ichigo wants to use Mugetsu again he can, but TBH it will be over kill since he will be powerful enough to slice through the whole universe lol

I want to point out that the final gestsuga is not something Isshin whipped out of no where just for Ichigo. It is perhaps a practice passed down from the Shiba family as each generation has a Gestsuga Zanpakuto (Isshin: Engetsu, Ichigo: Zangetsu). So perhaps the unique part about the getsu family is the ability for the Zanpakuto to acknowledge and sacrifice both themselves and the shingamis whole power to attain the ultimate Final Gestsuga (because it truly is the final) as their Final and last resort to defeat an overwhelmingly powerful opponent. And for that to happen the shinigami has to accept the blade of their Zanpakuto in its entirety.
For ichigos case that means both his Quincy and Hollow has to be merged because together they are his Zanpakuto in its entirety. It is foreshadowed here by Kubo before TYBW.
NO! the point of the Final Gestsuga is not for the Zanpakuto to merge and harmonize, and NO! Ichigo did not acknowledge this harmony as he still doesn't see White/Hollow as his Zanpakuto (just like us b4 TYBW) and that's why he had the trouble with finding an Asauchi, having to learn his past to figure out he really is, and even then he still doesn't 100% realize it until Old man Zangetsu told him that White is his Zanpakuto.
But Ichigos final gestsuga being a culmination of all his being together could say that his final gestsuga is the strongest in all of history, but we don't know because there were no other records, for good reason I mean for a shinigami to lose all their power they become useless, just a common soul and they'll lose their place in the seireitei. But at least for Ichigo he is a human so it's not that big of a deal.
Those are the only points in the video I wanted to address that slightly rubbed me off the wrong way. Tho I do agree that perhaps due to Ichigos mixed nature (like the soul king) his final gestsuga form transcends transcendent Aizen
I am now more interested in who Isshin Kurosaki fought against, who used the mugetsu technique, because how does he know about it, and the evidence that his shinigami powers were disappearing was in the manga?
Yes it’s in the manga, his reason his power disappear is different from using mugetsu/final getsuga. Won’t spoil it though. They don’t show how he learns the technique too.
My guess is that he learned the technique, but he never used it.

Sorry mate, you didn't understand what final getsuga tensho was.
Any explanation of final getsuga tensho has to start with: final getsuga tensho is Quincy Letzt Stil.
Kubo put all the pieces to the puzzle in the story, people just didn't put them together since they were so far apart in the story and apparently didn't pay much attention.
Remember what Quincy Letzt Stil was?
The Quincy merges his hand with his weapon (the glove is put on and cannot be taken off again, thus merging the weapon with the hand).
Once the weapon is taken off (the glove), the weapon turns from a physical representation into an ethereal representation (a weapon made out of Reiatsu > ishidas glove turned into his bow made out of reishi), and your power is increased several magnitudes over your previous state, in exchange for losing your powers forever afterwards.
Further more, Letzt Stil means final style in German (and all Quincy attacks are German names). Final style. Final getsuga tensho. Sound familiar?
Furthermore, Ichigos hand was merged with his weapon, until he took it off (it became a sword made out of reishi instead).
Ishida used it and went from a chump to being able to 1 shot Mayuri, who at that point in the story was basically an undefeatable Captain class opponent to our protagonists.
So okay, the characteristics of Letzt Stil and final getsuga tensho are basically exactly identical, and the name is basically the exact same phrase. But what does a quincy technique have to do with Ichigo who is a shinigami?
Reread the arc where Ichigo is training with Ouetsu to rebuild his swords. Turns out Ichigo actually never used his shinigami powers before, and instead was using his Quincy powers that were pretending to be his shinigami powers the entire time (old man zangetsu is the Quincy representation of Ichigos power).
So there is absolutely no arguing here that Ichigo was actually only using his Quincy and hollow powers during the fake karakura town arc. He never used his shinigami powers until then.
What's the final power up for a quincy? Letzt Stil.
Characteristics are the exact same? Check.
The weapon with the hand merging is the same, the weapon turning into a reishi weapon is the same, getting a massive power boost for a single attack once the glove/weapon is taken off is the same, and losing your entire power afterwards is the same. It's basically the same technique from a characteristics standpoint.
Was Ichigo using Quincy powers at that time? Check. Ouetsu confirmed that Ichigo had never been using his shinigami powers until then. Old man zangetsu was making Ichigo use his Quincy powers, pretending to be his shinigami powers.
Exact same name of the technique, Letzt Stil > final style > final getsuga tensho? Check.
How did Ichigo regain his powers? In a similar way to ishida. In a life and death situation.
Check.
It's been obvious that final getsuga tensho can only be Quincy Letzt Stil. I could say it's the most logical explanation, but it's more than that. It's so in your face that any other explanation can be safely discarded.
Everything about the final getsuga tensho i can agree with however, ichigo has been using his shinigamj powers the whole time. His shinigamj powers isn’t separate from his hollow powers. They are the same. Old man Zangetsu had just been limiting the amount of shinigami powers he could use. Ywach even said that Ichigo only awakened his Quincy powers when he was trapped inside that cage with Quilege.
One other thing aswell is that even though final getsuga tensho has similarities to letz still, how can his dad use final getsuga tensho aswell?
if that were true, ichigo could learn a "vollständig" and perfect his mugetsu lmao
since vollständig is basically a perfected letzt stil
Great analysis! Thanks! I, like many others, wish there was more information on how the mugetsu form compares with his end of series state. I don't think Kubo has given us the info on that but perhaps it will be addressed in some of the new content?
He has a mugetsu video
@@chillaxjokes yup and it is good. I was saying there was no other references to mugetsu in the last arc so we we don't know how the power levels compare
honestly dangai ichigo is my favorite form!
I want proper exploration of noble family stories and unique powers and stuffs they possess.
I remember, I think, it being said at one point that the length of his zanpakuto chain represents his power level or something, and given this context, I realize it represents his connection/acceptance of his hollow side (chain clearly a hollow symbol), and i think its increase in length is a visual hint in how much stronger he is because of this training.
I think what you're referring to is said during one of the first couple, if not in THE first episode, but it wasn't referring to chains, but the blade size.
Rukia explains to Ichigo how Captains would have blades as large as skyscrapers if they didn't suppress their reiatsu so that wouldn't happen.
When she first sees Ichigos Shinigami form, she's also surprised by the the size of his blade, foreshadowing that he's way more powerful than was to be expected back then.
@@rainbarfrex3434 Could be, but I think it was pretty specific about the length of the chain of his bankai. If I remember right, it was during a training scene where it is noted his chain has gained a few links, indicating his growth in power. Possibly could have been during the first filler arc, so might not be canon, but since it was trash I'm not keen check.
@@nickcorbett9612 Oooh right, now I remember something like that veeery vaguely, like it was just in a single short dialogue or something. Guess you could be right about that.
Demon blood-awakened Yusuke: More hair, more powah!
Simo Urahara was right then in saying that Shiro is not a white version of Ichigo but a person aizen used to perform a hollow experiment with and put it in Ichigo's mother. In Shiro's original form he had Zanpakto as arms which is why in this form he is bound to Ichigo's arm. Tite Kubo is a creative genius.
Simo urahara is a great youtuber
I was pretty upset when Ichigo used the Final GT because up to that point, he was still handling Aizen easily. It felt like Ichigo would've just flat out won and not have to sacrifice anything...
If he had continued fighting without using Mugetsu, Aizen would have just kept evolving to the point where he would have surpassed Ichigo. He had to use it, otherwise Aizen wouldn't have been brought to a weak enough state for Urahara's Kido seal to take effect.
His mother was hollowfied? I don't remember that. I remember aizen making a hollow shinigami being that ultimately became the base of ichigo. That's why rukia kept saying he looks like that one shinigami that died. That was him that aizen tuned into hollow and eventually became part of ichigo. He already had the latent strong hollow power because of aizen, along with the powerful quincy and powerful shinigami bloodline. It's been a while since I've seen it but that's how I recall it.
Where did you get this from-
@@jocoolshow honestly don't remember. I recall that being my understanding when I read the Manga. From what I recall, aizen used the corpse of that shinigami rukia knew to make the hollow that ichigo's parents fought. This is also the reason why ichigo looks exactly like that shinigami, only with orange hair. That is why aizen always monitored ichigo and treats him like his experiment, because he is the byproduct of one of his creations.
I remember that too, wasn't the name of the hollow he made White? And i know he was created from multiple shinigami souls, i think that's what he said.
And Ichigo became connected with this hollow because his mother got hollowfied but the howllow was somehow transferred to him or something like that.
Basically it was the first main source of power for Ichigo and he still relies of it.
I am waiting for DBZ to use up all the colours of the rainbow. Ichigo's eyes are the one thing that stood out to me even to this day: they way they radiate with power, confidence, and deep sadness. It's sad that there is no mention of this form in the later chapters, nor are the true forms of his inner spirits, or their merged form, shown again.
All of this makes so much sense up to the point where he completely dominates aizen easily without any thread at all and just toys with him and cuts him when he feels liek it and then randomly decides to use the mugetso and throw away his powers, which doesnt even kill aizen but rather weakens him enough to activate the sealing.
The way it was depictured ichigo could have gone forever cutting him without being touched and never using his mugetso in the first place and this was where I was kinda disapointed at the choices of progression because up to that point ichigos reason for growth in power was to protect and so throwing all of it away when he didnt absolutely needed to just didnt make sense. It felt like the creator knew he was going to give him back powers later and so simply didnt see any issues with him using that move and forcefully implemented a developement in ichigo where he has to get over loosing all of his powers for the sake of story extension. But as the viewer who doesn´t know what will happen later using the mugetso at the point where he did was just not understandable
I always thought that the Dangai form(before Mugetsu) is part of the Final Getsuga Tenshou technique. If he achieved this strength by just training then why didn't any of that strength translate to Fullbring Ichigo?
The manga says Fulbright +shingami ichigo is stronger then dangai pre-mugestsu or even in mugetsu. Ginjo is later shown to be similar to ichigo has his modd swings make him weaker or stronger, so fullbring ichigo overpowered him due to his inconsistent reiatsu. This is why we don't have ichigo blowing mountains in full bring he has control due to fullbring training unlike ginjo who is mentally unstable.
@@sarthakarora3212 I don't remember such statement in the manga, about Fulbright +shingami Ichigo being stronger than dangai. Do you know the chapter where this is stated? I just find it extremely hard to believe that Fullbring Ichigo can manhandle Transcended Aizen. Dangai Ichigo destroyed one of the most powerful kidos made by one of the most powerful beings by just flicking his hand but Fullbring Ichigo somehow got hurt by Ginjo's getsuga?
@@gistr8792 it's pretty clear after reading this comment section people are taking the fact Ichigo got his powers back to mean he's at the same power level as when he lost them. I think that's far from the case
@@gistr8792 did you buy the volume or not? You can clearly read the damn summary in every fullbring volume and kubo says everytime ichigo is the strongest he has ever been every damn volume.
@@paranoidpanzerpenguin5262 ginjo is stronger then final form aizen, the battle was just made quick due to self doubt and guilt, it's highlighted in CFYOW ginjo is equal to full power bankai ichigo post TYBW when he is enraged and has a clear mind cause he is big weakness of being bad at controlling his power like ichigo while having the trauma of losing his loved ones making a mental block thats makes his reiatsu inconsistent making him easy to defeat. Also, kubo has said he is a quincy so he is 100% made to be ichigo's older brother from another mother.
(Kubo worded it in a way that implies both his parents are quincy).
This is my favorite Ichigo form. I wish this one stuck around.
anyone notice that Tensa Zangetsu is foreshadowing Horn of Salvation Ichigo
Ichogo was fucking up Aizen before he even used mugetsu. I honestly don't think he even needed to use it to beat him but was making extra sure.
Well , the most cooler and badass ichigo form ever , i don't care if this not his strongest form!
He was so fearless and could care less In This form
His inner hollow is both his hollow and his shinigami powers. Old zangetsu is his Quincy powers.
u forgot something, How did Ishin know about the final getsuga tensho? unless he have reached it himself once. from the conversation he had with Ichigo it was implied that he reached it, another proof is that Ishin was not able to use his shinigami powers for a long time, since the birth of ichigo, he managed to re-awaken them during the arancar arc against grand fisher, check the conversation he had with Kisuke Urahara again.
not like that. it was related with masaki. when masaki died isshin's powers are started to come back slowly. but it was too slowly so it took almost 7-8 years to use them again at war. he said "he couldnt succeed at final getsuga". when ichigo and him at dangai. and i guess final getsuga tensho is a soul reaper technique but we saw this different form cuz ichigo has also hollow and soul reaper powers. so the technique originally has maybe a different form at his final than ichigo's form.
I really want to see Ichigo in this form again, like if he decides he wants to go back to the Dangai.
If he decides to go back and lose his powers again? You just be crazy. His strongest form is his true bankai
if old man zangetsu is the quincy powers and didnt want ichigo to fight using shinigami powers then why did he try to stop ichigo from getting the final getsuga tenshou?
Did you ever made a video about Hado how it works and the strongest one
I never quite understood while watching the anime why he unleashed his final form when Dangai Ichigo was far more powerful than Aizen to begin with. He was parrying him with ease so it felt like he final getsuga tenshou just to move the plot along for the bount arc. He could have remained in Dangai form and finished the job...in my opinion.
He may have been stronger than Aizen but Aizen was constantly evolving and healing himself, he would’ve killed Ichigo after some time so Ichigo needed something to one shot Aizen - that’s when the Final Getsuga comes in
@@granntorino3931 Aizen couldn't even feel his spiritual pressure when Ichigo transformed. It seemed like a rushed transition to set the stage for him losing his powers for the next arc is all I'm saying. He barely fought him or tried in his Dangai form. It's my favorite part of the anime up to this point so I'm not mad at it but it never quite set right with me how quickly the fight transitioned to the end when the buildup was so great
@@comedianking83 being able to feel Ichigo's reiatsu didn't matter the moment Aizen used Fragor to bust his arm showing us he could hurt him and was getting close to Ichigo which for him was the indication he couldn't keep playing with him.
@@shadymann9468 Ichigo basically allowed him to do that. Felt like a flex as I watched and rewatched it. Much like when the others were fighting Aizen before going to the soul society and none could feel his spiritual pressure but could still land blows on him. All I'm saying is that him using the final getsuga tenshou was a foregone conclusion from the beginning but the set up to using it felt rushed. There wasn't compelling info given to call for it when it was used, especially looking at how the build up to the fight was presented
Because Aizen would’ve kept evolving into a state where Dangai Ichigo would’ve been overpowered. Heck just one single slash from Dangai Ichigo forced him to evolve into a higher state where he was able to damage him. So going into TGF and unleashing “Mugetsu” was a far much better shot of defeating Aizen in a single hit than possibly dragging out the fight with the risk of more evolutions from Aizen.
imagine if dangai ichigo fused with the hogyoku
I actually think it will be cannon that tensa zangetsu had to merge with white/ichi hollow, because Tensa zangetsu at the tike was really old man Bach pretending to be ichis shinigami powers. When in reality at the time that ichigo was born and white moved from his mom over to him white merged with and white himself became ichigos zanpaktou.
If old man Bach didn't have white teach ichi everything about his zanpaktou then ichi never would have been able to learn it, at least not with him having to learn from his zanpaktou, so when ichigo is learning bankai and everytime he's losing a fight white is the one to step in and help, in some cases even telling ichigo exactly what he needs to hear to get his mind right.
I don't think ichigo could have learned dangai if it was from old man back alone, hike bringing white into the mix was because white is literally the only one that can teach ichigo dangai having been his true zanpaktou at the time
8:53 The banger moment
THIS DIDN'T EXPLAIN ANYTHING
I’m glade I finished reading bleach so I can watch this video
I agree with a lot of points you have mentioned. There is a few I'd like to mention:
1. When Ichigo tells Isshin that he cant beat Aizen because he can sense how overwhelming Aizen's reiatsu is, Isshin realized that Ichigo has evolved in a similar dimension as Aizen, at that point in time, but he has not mastered it yet. This is due to his prior fight with Ulquiorra in which his hollow powers has totally awakened, thus he has unlocked the potential of his hollow/shinigami powers. All he needs to do is master it in the dangai.
2. In his training in the dangai, both Old Man Zangetsu (OZM) and Hollow Ichigo (Shirosaki) explained they are one and they are Ichigo's powers. Flashback to Ichigo's fight with Zaraki, Shirosaki said the same thing such that him and OZM are like life and death of a soul. If life rules, the soul takes the form of a flesh while if death rules, the soul's flesh is removed revealing the bones. What this means is that Ichigo's first Zanpakuto is the amalgamation of all his powers, hollow-shinigami-quincy. The foundation/bones is Shirosaki covered/sealed by the flesh/blade which is OZM. Thus Dangai Ichigo practically mastered all of these powers. Sadly this form is undone as the world corrects the time shift he gained from the dangai.
3. Dangai Ichigo is stronger than Dual Blade Ichigo. Both Zangetsu is different. Dangai Ichigo haven't understood the nature of his Zanpakuto but mastered its capabilities in his training in the Dangai. It is the closest Ichigo was with his Zanpakuto representing its fusion with Ichigo's hand. Dual Blade Zangetsu is when Ichigo's power is reforged to a new zanpakuto in which he has truly understood its nature. Ouetsu tried to separate both Zangetsu as Shirosaki is Ichigo's true zanpakuto as a shinigami, and without OZM, Yhwach cant manipulate Ichigo's reiatsu. However Ichigo still put OZM into the hot asauchi resulting into two blades. This new form of Zangetsu corresponds to new characteristic and capabilities in which Ichigo has to master to surpass Dangai Ichigo. With his horn of salvation plus bankai he has surpassed Dangai Ichigo with more potential of growth.
4. In my opinion, Ichigo's strongest form is Vasto Lorde Ichigo as Ichigo's true shinigami power is Shirosaki, his true zanpakuto. I believe shinigami and quincy power cannot truly harmonize, they are like oil and water, polar opposite if each other, quincy is life while shinigami is death. If Ichigo sticks only with Shirosaki, he is much stronger.
Oil and water can mix, just need an emulsifier.
It's an anime, you better believe all the powers will get combined sooner or later.
So much fanon it hurts. Jesus, mate.
Also Shirosaki = pain.
@@asdergold1 For real. Like, just call him "White."
I have wanted to get a tattoo of Ichigo Kurosaki for a very long time and I just can't decide which one I want to get
Bruh Ichigo is so lucky ever since he was born bro has all the race dang it
Could we have a Kensei Muguruma Analysis? He's my favorite character in the series, most interesting zanpakuto in my opinion, and a potentially tied as the strongest of the Vizard.
How Ishin knew about final getsuga? It isn't something he had experience as it unsual for him to had similar abilities with Ichigo. How then?
Lol honestly until his fruit awakening I never thought of Luffy as having over the top transformations. It always just felt appropriate and like he was making the best of his basic devil fruit (now we know it’s something else, but I’m not dropping the spoiler since this is like 1000+ chapters in). Especially for how long you had to wait for them lol.
And fruit awakenings are really rare 😂. I mean I think as of just recently we’ve only seen it 4 total. And we had only saw Dofi before kid, law and Luffy.
And luffy is still a kid, so don't talk about onepiece here... 🤡🤡🤡
More than 2decades and still a kid
If he didn't beat kaido and big mom, what was his biggest achievement for the past two decades??? Beating katakuri and dofla? Onepiecetards always talking about non sense
@@kennethangelo4924 you obviously haven’t watched it. He’s liberated many kingdoms along his journey surmounting him a huge following (his grand fleet) and territories; which is part of being an emperor. Plus everytime he gains a crew member it feels meaningful because Oda puts the time in to make each of them feel impactful with a cool back story.
Feats wise I could go on and on.
There’s people that have watched it and people who haven’t it. And we can tell those who have from normies who haven’t.
@@garretnelson5314 that's all? Yelling pirate king for 2 decades? And still a kid up to date lmao
Maybe Ichigo really lost Soul Reaper portion permanently he inherited from Father but soul reaper portion and quincy portion he inherited from mother and arrancar hollow became dormant after 'Mugetsu'. Maybe before becoming dormant, those powers were also in play with Soul Reaper power inherited from Father when fighting against hogyoku fused Aizen in arrancar arc.
If my above theory is true, then perhaps True Bankai form was almost either equal to Dangai form or little bit stronger or maybe little bit weaker because of permanent loss of Soul reaper portion inherited from Father.
It is also the reason why Ichibei wanted to seal Ichigo as the next soul king because Ichibei knows that Ichigo is a transcend.
Please can we stip with this "transcendant" nonsense.
To this day people still take Aizen's delusional ramblings and ego as fact instead of the hyperbole it is.
@@A-RedHerring Both Ichigo and himself were transcendent. Deal with it. Soul King absorbed Ywach is transcendent as well
that change of appearance in Ichigo's Bankai after training inside the Dangai is somehow similar to the change of Renji's Bankai? like Hihio Zabimaru into So-Oh Zabimaru but way much stronger, idk if I explained myself correctly
Not really, its more similar to change when Letzt Stil is used
Ah good joke,TRUE SHIKAI ICHIGO would mop the floor.
going back to this video, and seeing TYBW play out that'll eventually elude to the Hell Arc... I just have a feeling this version of Yhwach is gonna come back. As Ichigo always viewed white and black as 'old man zangetsu'
Yhwach is currently sealed in the soul king palace. He won't appear in Hell arc if it ever continues
