Rose's bankai is basically the opposite of Aizen's. His music creates illusions that physically injure those who hear them. Also, this doesn't really come through as clearly, but James was the actual Sternritter, with Mask being his idealized version of a "superstar" brought to life by his powers.
The music that played at Renji was actually an old Bleach OST from their 2nd movie Diamond Dust Rebellion. It is nice that they're bringing back some songs that you won't instantly realize it was an old Bleach OST just remix.
Wow! This episode was action packed. Renji dropped in like a badass and looked sick, also hearing Rukia say how James is no match for what he is now was awesome. I always wanted to see the panel of Renji calling himself a villain and So-Oh Zabimaru be animated. I need more ASAP!
Renji Bankai breakdown. So Zabimaru(Snake Tail) is based on the Nue, which is a Japanese youkai that's kinda like a chimera which is kinda multiple animals such as Snake, Monkey, Dog and TIGER. Kinda ironic that Renji reffered to himself as a dog Barking at the stars and moon and Byakuya calls him that too in Soul Society arc. And he also has a Tiger fit now 😂. (in this case Zabimaru takes after the monkey and snake parts). It's Shikai has the body of the snake(allowing it to stretch and move like a snake) and the teeth of the monkey. When the body(snake) is destroyed, the monkey can be used in a different way via Higa Zekkou(Bite of The Broken Baboon's Fang). In his old Bankai, Hihiou Zabimaru(Baboon King Snake Tail), it was basically a larger version of his Shikai(snake body/monkey teeth). But now the snake body can come apart at will and pull itself back together via Renji's Reiatsu. The monkey can now also attack in a different way, using that same Reiatsu, Hikotsu Taihou(Baboon Bone Cannon). His new Bankai, Souou Zabimaru(Twin Kings Snake Tail), is interesting though. Both the monkey and snake are now working alongside Renji's body, instead of being fused together. Now the snake and the monkey can use their abilities to their full potential. Renji acts as the body(which would be the tiger part of the Nue), the snake(Orochi) acts as the teeth, and the monkey(Hihiou) acts as the arm. The snake gets it's own special Reiatsu-infused attack via Zaga Teppou(Snake Fang Iron Gun), and the monkey presumably gets one via Hikotsu Taihou. So basically, Renji acts as the glue to the two parts. Otherwise they would intertwine and get in the way of each other's true potential. His Shikai was supposed to be snake dominate(unless it's destroyed), and the Bankai was supposed to be both of them sharing dominance. But due to Zabimaru feeling that Renji was not worthy enough, his Bankai became monkey dominate instead.
Rose and Kensei really were unlucky, it was almost like fighting Majin Buu there ! I think most of the other Sternritter would have been a better match to their Bankai...At least we got to see them in action ! Also that real version of Renji's Bankai really seems improved by the animation ! Pretty glorious display of power !!
Yeah, most of them would have been easier. The Imperial Guard would have obliterated them, and V, F, would have been a problem, but the others would likely have lost to those two. Z would also have likely beaten them, but not based on her own powers.
Fun fact about Kinshara Butodan: This Bankai has the soundtrack of Indonesian traditional instrument known as Gamelan, this Bankai has Javanese gamelan and Balinese gamelan
I'm late to say this but I sorta defend the Vizards (in this case, Kensei and Rose) losing situation because Kubo was writing a theme of "Hero vs Villains" around Mask de Masculine. It depicts Mask as the "hero" who overpowers the soul reaper "villains" and exploits their weaknesses. James is the traditional supporting character of giving the main character, Mask, the power up (the whole premise of their Shrift). Kensei and Rose were given the basic villain role of being more powerful than the mc and explaining their powers due to confidence, respectively. Yes, Bleach is a series where many explain their powers to their enemies but in the case of this fight, the soul reapers were seen as villains especially for Rose and Renji. Its not until Renji goes into Bankai and breaks Mask's arm where the theme of hero vs villain is thrown out of the window, as stated by Mask when he said he didn't care about heroes and villains and just wanted to kill Renji. It's still stupid Rose got the short end of the stick but it works well with the theme Kubo wanted to write about.
Yeah, he did kinda force-of-will the last years of his bankai training into a couple days to help save Rukia, and then fought for years with a half-complete bankai without anybody noticing. His "bankai" was weak because it was basically halfway between shikai and bankai (in the same way Yumichika's "shikai" is weak because he calls it into its incomplete form), but now he is operating on full bankai.
I dont think he beat barragan. Renji new bankai is powerful but he need to be close. If you get closer to barragan time slow down. And you die if you tuch him.
@@adam2008izeu haven’t read or watched bleach with ur eyes seems like lol 😂. Almost every sternritter bodies the espada , like why on earth would kubo make the characters weaker than the characters who appeared before. Think about it.Renji one shots espadas in this form.
@misterninja911 No one other than the Elite Ritter is beating the top Espadas lmao. Now you think about it, why didn't Yhwach send Opie, Mask, Bazz, Nodt or any other Ritter to beat Harribel? Like why on earth would Kubo show Yhwach specifically going to Hueco Mundo and he himself defeating her when he has literally an army to pick and chose who he can send?
@@muchoyurdem5260lmao yhwatch can one shot every single espada in theyre release forms, renji beats the espadas with hes bankai at this point, the espadas can beat the middle tier sternreiners,lmao many argue the elites can even beat yamamoto.
Yamachika use half name to partially manifest his shikai. I wonder how many other shinigami do the same thing like how Aizen lied about his zanpakutou abilities. Shinji and Rose can learn from them
If they could give Mask a throbbing bulge here, they should have also included Rukia's peach in the first cour and a bunch of other similar fan service scenes.
I know Rose gets shit for saying his ability (a common trope in Shounen series) but at the same time, he definitely thought James was dead. Mask wouldn't have ruptured his eardrums had James actually died. It's a shame we don't see Rose's 3rd program though. The assumption is it would have actually killed Mask, since Ein Heldenleben translates to "A Hero's Life".
I remember reading the manga and hating the absolute heck outta James. Just reading it, i could actually hear him scream “MISTERR! SUPERSTAR!!”. Been making me want to puncture my eardrums too. 😅

it was just bad writing by kubo, fodderizing the vizards so renji can shine
honestly I think Mask would've figured that by himself even if Rose didnt explain it.
Mask wasn't even listening to what Rose said, Rose would have lost whether he said anything or not.
Rose is just weak

Good job mate 👍🏽
Vizards using their hollow mask would help anyways and I'm pretty sure they can't use bankai with mask
@@Keyshawn13There's nothing that says they can't.
They all know they're Quincies. Using Hollow powers should be an absolute given. It's literal poison to them. There's no excuse.
did u copy the same comment on other channels?
Jame was actually the sternritter and not Mask, hence Yhwach thanking him when he died.

This sounds like it also coin-sides, similarly, to ichigo...if you get ny drift
Renji getting rid of fraud allegations lmao. That music also goes hard asf.
Kids in the background were also cheering on for Mask, that’s why he got so strong and bodied the visoreds 😂😂
Ichibe Hyosube knows the names of every Zanpakuto in Soul Society before shinigami themselves do.
James is the real Sternritter and Mask is basically his stand.
At the end of the episode they told us Yhwach's backstory in the manga. His true power is implied here nicely, though.
Rose and Kensei really were unlucky, it was almost like fighting Majin Buu there !
