roses attack "ein heldenleben" is german. it translates to "one heros life" Its from Richard Strauss (1864-1949) its a conzert and can be found on youtube, (about 50 mins long)
While Kubo revealed that James is the real name of the sternritter, I don't think Mask nor small James is the real body. In a way their power is actually probably more similar to Starrk where the original body split part of his power into 2 bodies. Mask being the embodiment of the ideal hero and the small James representing the fan and also carrying the original name. The way small James regenerate is way to odd to be considered the "real" body and Mask did state that both James and him are one and both needs to be killed for them to truly die. We also see in the anime that when Yhwach absorbed James, it is Mask's burnt out body that turns to reishi and returns so small James also can't be the one true body.
That is the best explanation I've ever seen. And yeah the Stark precedent is highly relevant here. The confusion probably would've been smaller if the cheering guy wasn't called "James". Or if Superstar revealed that his name is also James, so they're both two halves of the original.
Welp in the anime, Yhwh (or is it Yhwch) he says “James’” name, nor Mask’s when acknowledging his/their death. From what I understand about how their powers work, how Mask explains it actually explains it perfectly. While James was the original body, Mask serves as his ability to remain in the world, or his tie to it. James on the other hand both serves to heal, or more accurately I guess recreate, Mask whenever he gets damaged or somehow destroyed
was it really friendzone? she didn't reject him at the academy, if he had the courage to say something she would have turned the Kuchiki clan down flat and go with him, but he stayed quiet so she could have a better life. so really he was the one who sorta rejected her
Mask did a ton in his short time of stardom. Took out 4 captain level characters and yumichika while going out on renjis bankai. Did way more than a lot of the other quincy.
There is something to the idea that the snake sounded mean but actually had his back. While the baboon acted friendly while refusing to lend him his power. Some deep seeded issues there, I'm sure.
@@Yodah97also even though he only has like two or three named attacks the ones he used before his true bankai are all baboon themed. Using baboon attacks with the snake seems to show that him and is Zanpakuto are out of sync.
i wish for an added scene where shinhi uses his bankai against 3 of the bambis and it doesnt work since they all hate each other so instead of killing each other they just start be all hugging and kissing and being best friends
I was thinking some of them turn to friends while the others enemies, but then they keep switching sides because they're so crazy and Shinji is forced to stop bankai because it's makes them worse.
I love the scene at 50:49 the glasses effect, that is the most go hard thing in animes to me when they have the glasses badazz characters showing their glasses that way, where you only see the light reflecting off of their glasses, like the original Aizen.
The hollow masks are weird. With everything that he prepared, you'd think that Kyōraku would contact the Vizard captains and command them to use their masks next time. Or Urahara would have thought to recommend that specifically giving his recent insight into what hollow powers do to the Quincy.
@@raquansingleton1549Well the quincy beat the Arrancar and took over Hueco Mundo. Hollow reatsu is an advantage, but it's not an easy win. I'm sure the Vizard would still lose even with the masks.
@@Yodah97 but they're pretty much allergic to hollows. Hollows of a high tier would probably get em. But to play devil's advocate. The number 3 espada got whooped.
I really loved the added scene on the intro. Because as someone who has served in the army, it's such a monumental piece of Information. A map with the locations of all the allies and enemies can offer so many tactical advantages like avoiding the enemy, finding wounded allies, setting up locations for strategy and medics and most importantly morale. Just small things like this makes the whole arc feel like a war and highlights how much of a valuable player Mayuri is. Truly the MVP of the war along with Urahara
A better reason as to why they don't use their powers would've been because of Central 46 and their typical detrimental authoritarianism and lack of common sense. Knowing them, they probably still consider the vizards criminals for being unwilling pawns of Aizen. Yamamoto most likely put in a good word for them which led to the condition that they could return to the Seiretei so long as they don't use their masks, the "symbol" of their so-called "alliance" with Aizen, something that Hiyori would be the most vehemently opposed to in general since they're still technically punishing them over something that wasn't even their fault to begin with.
To be fair, As Nodt told Mask during the first invasion to read carefully the Daten that Yhwach gave them, there they had a lot of info on the Captains and their abilities, so it's not crazy to think that he remembered that info and decided to act accordingly, especially since he can just regenerate later.
I just don't understand the amount of episodes that Pierrot planned for this arc, the number is too little. On top of that they are adding new scenes (I'm glad they are doing it because the Manga was rushed) but it comes in spite of many other moments. This is maybe the 4th or 5th moment they have cut from Renji or Rukia, and Rukia is like the 2nd main character of the Series.
@@Shohoku00 imo it’s the structure of the cours I don’t understand. Streets saying that episode 26 will end with chapter 611, and if that’s the case that means we will have about 75 chapters for 2 more cours. I get they’re going to add more content, but how much do they plan on adding and will it be enough for 26 more episodes?
@@rmanileavell5271 Considering the pacing of the last chunk is what most manga readers with complaints took issue with and it's where Kubo himself admits he had to hurry it up more than he'd have liked (due to health issues iirc), it kinda makes sense that it's where the most additions will be happening. And as fast as these fights are going, this is basically how they were paced in manga. It may not have felt that way reading week to week, but binged straight through, it is indeed quick. This last bit is more for the other comment, but nothing was actually cut from Renji here. It's just what the fight was, meant to show how far above Renji has come that he makes such quick work of it.
Its implied rose believed that mask needed to hear james so he figured if mask tried what he did then he could no longer be given strength by James... however its revealed that james and mask work on a more spiritual level than physical as even without ears mask still heard James cheer
Desperately needed some expansion on Mask's fights, for his sake as well. Would have been rad for him to do the "Quincies use bows" thing by manifesting wrestling ropes and launching himself as the projectile.
Is that Jame’s power? I’ve always interpreted more as reshi(or whatever the soul reapers are made of) understanding and manipulation. Like every time James cheers,he’s then able to beat whatever opponent, but the next one proves to be difficult as well. It’s make sense then too why Kensei was confused and pissed that Shuhei and the other two lost and was able to put down mask so easily. James(either through observing and sending it too mask and saying “superstar” or just the power) then cheers on mask and now kensei’s bankai doesn’t work, but then water and fire are enough to hurt him from Rose’s bankai? That’s why I’ve always viewed it as him getting a beating, Jame’s sending him the download of the enemies reshi through the cheer, then you either have to use a strong attack then you just showed or you’re basically screwed. It’d also explain how Renji was able to beat him. He used Shikia to handle him for awhile, Jame’s dies then he uses Bankai to kill him. Anyways, not the best at explaining through text, but let me know if I’m way off EDIT: I also think this because we see sternritters like U who’s also whole thing is to understand others reshi
i really like to think that james decided to Not be revived.It's like Mask betrayed james as the Fan by obliterate him And james as the Fan, felt betrayed and just stop being a fan of the Superstar cause the superstar just doing as he please, using the fans for only his own benefit.
To be fair, I don’t think Mask gave either of them time to use their Hollow powers. With Kensei, it was a straight thrashing and he was knocked out before the thought could cross his mind. And with Rose, Mask just kinda one-shots him before anything else could be done.
At the same time, this is a full on Quincy invasion and it's clear that Mask is very powerful as one of the Quncies main officers. Them not using their Hollow masks from the get go is kind of weird.
Perhaps they were trying to distance themselves from their Vizard forms since they are now official officers of the Gotei 13… Though I am not sure if Mashiro follows that mentality
I mean even in the manga it was called out he was now strong enough to call out the name implying that before this renji was not strong enough to be able to call out the true name of his bankai
In defense of Rose, who in their right mind would imagine their opponent is gonna destroy their eardrums after knowing of that power, close to no one would do it cause even in case of opponents with instant regeneration if they were to do it they'd immediately regenerate and still be affected since it's not something they could choose not to like Mask's case, he did it cause he knew he'd be healed afterwards by James
Exactly. Plus Rose already killed James who’s proven to be the reason behind Mask’s power up. Considering James bled and everything, it would be completely fair to assume he’s gone for good. In fact, James is kind of a mystery even to us.
@@jf922 yup. Rose had no reason necessarily at all to assume James can literally clone tons of himself & *wasn't* totally dead when he slices him in half & wasn't even moving for a min. nor was Rose gonna assume a wrestling foe all the way up to that point would randomly pull out a laser beam attack
No no no, under no circumstances is it ever a good idea to tell your enemy what your powers are, regardless of what you think they might or might not do. You don’t take that kind of chance in a war where your comrades are constantly dying. Especially since after telling him this, Mask immediately countered it and it costed Rose the battle. Mask still might have won due to James still being alive but at least it wouldn’t have made Rose look dumb. Rose may have thought James was dead but that doesn’t take away from the fact that Mask showed that he could overcome his Bankai without James’ help. Honestly, the only character who has a valid reason to explain their abilities is Shunsui.
Mask had reason to believe that he was about to be killed. I think that any captain-level fighter when faced with certain death would choose to ruin their ears instead. Deaf beats dead, especially when facing an existential threat looking to exterminate everyone you know and love. That said, not everyone would be cold blooded enough to do it immediately with no holding back or hesitation. And here Mask knowing that he could be healed was absolutely an advantage.
new original scene they put really highlights which captains are the ones who will be carrying and also that the gotei's situation was actually really dire if renji and rukia hadn't showed up on time.
Since Renji now knows the name of his true bankai, does that mean nownin fights he can decide to use either release form, like Yumichika can do with his zanpakuto's shikai?
1) Renji's comment about superstar will burn out eventually cause it's what they seek is too meta for me. 2) Mask as a superstar obviously relying on James's passionate cheering but when he released his voltstandig , he became too proud and arrogant superstar , which as result didn't care enough even burning his own loyal fan by his action. 3) After James was no more to be seen, Mask also didn't care anymore about hero or justice persona. It was a subtle notion on how a certain superstar only trying to look good only in front , in the eyes of their fan , but not behind them. 4) Without fans ,a star is nothing. Also it much easier for a fan to bring up a star than a star to seek out a fan
16:18...i think the main reason the vizards and ichigo dont mask up in this arc is b/c it would be all over like *fingersnap* kiske pointed out the fact that hollow are poison to quincy and for captain lvl+++ hollows joining the fight... there would be on, it would just 180 again. its gone for the sake of plot like how ssj4 was lost after DBgt wasnt cannon anymore.
rose made the bigger one but id still say kensei made a mistake here, in that he just went back into the fight after seeing his opponent just instantly recover and seemingly get stronger from his attack, which should indicate to him that his power alone might not be enough. he shouldn't have been more careful, maybe wait out a bit to observe his opponent, or regroup with rose to coordinate their attacks at the same time instead of just him trying.
Rose and Kensei were in mistake for not using Vizard mask. They're both wrong not just Kensei. In fact, Rose got the higher percentage of whose at fault since he explained his bankai abilities to an opponent
The change in how Renji gets his true bankai is such a good fix. I always hated how in the manga it just was "Why would my zanpakuto be lying to me about its name this whole time?" "I don't know, but I can just give it to you anyways." Learning your zanpakuto's name is the most important aspect of being a shinigami, and skipping that would ruin everything.
I just noticed, in the intro Uryu's jacket is black like the Quincy's boss, but the inside lining is ORANGE. Like Ichigos hair. Considering his plans it's definitely on purpose.
James' story could've been that he had to retire as a pro wrestler, who was the most popular guy at the time (a superstar) and with the wrestling persona Mask de Masculine, because of an injury and he felt betrayed that his fans all but forgot about him for the next guy. When Ywach gave him a Schrift, he split himself into 2 (similar to Starrk and Kenpachi), one was a younger version of him in his prime with all the power and the other one was an aged version of him to act as his fan(s) who would never stop cheering for him to get better and get back into it. So, technically, they're both James
I think they didn't use Vizard Hollow masks is because they don't want Aizen experiment to succeed by putting Quincies down. I think its their pride. The only reason they use Vizard Hollow masks during Aizen villain era was to mock Aizen by using his experiments against him
That would be hard. Cuz there’s no way they’d change the fact that he gets beaten by Mask puncturing his eardrums. So, that aspect of the fight always had to stay constant. It’s not easy to write around that, and that’s an aspect of the fight that was ALWAYS going to be preserved. They weren’t gonna change the loss condition of rose in that fight.
It did happen mask got back up after James chanted. But it doesn’t take a genius to know James is the real s all three of them were there dealt killing blow and choose to get bodied when in reality I’m just saying they had two people who could’ve went bankai and didnt. I think they could’ve won if they got more serious about it.
5 Chapters in one episode is crazy fast pacing. I remember a long stretch of Naruto Shippuden was consistently covering 2 chapters per episode. It was hellishly slow.
I haven't seen anyone talk a counterpoint about james being the sternritter and masque is just a manifestation. My headcannon is that James is indeed the sternritter as stated by Ywhach, however, James is the real name of Masque. Similar to how wrestlers use aliases instead of their actual names. James power is basically to manifest a support summon ("James") that buffs and heals him. That's why regardless of being annihilated, Masque said that "James" could reincarnate since they are one (Sternritter's power are etched in their souls from my understanding) meaning he can just resummon "James". Another thing, that star beam thing may be Masque's version of an arrow, albeit a suprpowered one
you know instead of him revealing the bankais secret they could have just made mask smarter then he looks and have him notice that the captain looked like a music conductor with that thing in his hand and theorize it was an illusion via sound so he closed his eyes and took out his eardrums
Tekking there is alot of different pro wrestling companies. Pro wrestling is also really big in japan. If your interested I reccomend aew, njpw to check out, also in one piece Oda based the tourny in dressrosa on a pro wrestling tourny in japan the g1 that recently finished this year.
Personally I think the Vizards are just banned from Hollowfing within the Sereitei which is why Kensuke and Shuhei left it to train and for Mashiro to put on her mask Either that or only the Captains aren't allowed to because they can't have the faces of the court guard using the powers of their enemies Also I think people come down too hard on Rose #1. He did kill James immediately and with all current knowledge he had available Mask could no longer heal at that point #2. Rose said plugging your ears wouldn't do anything to stop it (after Mask did the thing) #3. I think people don't understand just what destroying your ear drums does it also completely destroys your sense of BALANCE along with your hearing with who Rose had scene as an exclusively physical combatant doing such a thing without a means to fix it would still ensure Mask either wouldn't risk it or it wouldn't matter because he'd be exponentially weaker without balance and potentially unable to reach Rose at all
oh the Hollow Masks would have DEFINITELY made a difference. remember that it was already established that Quincies are severely weak to Hollow Reiatsu. so much so that the Bankai stealing devices IMMEDIATELY malfunctioned the moment the Captains' bankais gained the smallest of hollow reiatsu which implies that Hollow Reiatsu just outright cancels Quincy bs. having Kensei use his Mask and then punch Mask(this is weird) with his hollowfied bankai would have done not only more dmg but would have probably infected him with hollow reiatsu so he wouldn't be able to use his schrift properly or at the very least negate some of his power up since, again, Hollow Reiatsu > Quincy bullsh!t this is the same problem I have with Shinji vs Bambietta. if Sajin's huge a$$ bankai was fast enough to catch up to a flying VSD Bambi then surely SURELY Shinji with his mask who could probably use sonido would not only be faster than Bambietta but also cancel out her reishi bullets with cero since the reishi bullets NEED to make contact before turning something into a bomb but unfortunately Shinji just stood there, like an idiot, watching Bambi transform and not even moving from where he was standing instead of, I don't know, summoning his mask (which is almost instantaneous btw and quite literally faster than the Volstandig transformation). Kubo, I love you I do but having the Vizard Captains NOT use their Hollow masks in a literal WAR against people who are WEAK to Hollow Reiatsu is... and I'm not even gonna sugar coat it, stupid. -_-
I love Kubo too but yea there was a lotta stupid decisions he rolled with in the 2nd invasion in general imo. I'm only critical n all in this manner bc Ik he's capable of better. easily one of the most frustrating things in the 2nd invasion is he how chose to utilize the visoreds & I'll never truly get over it lol
The reason why they didn't use Vizard Hollow mask was because they don't want Aizen experiment to succeed by putting Quincies down. Its the warriors pride. The only reason why they use hollow masks during Aizen villain era was to mock Aizen himself by turning his experiments against him
@@dylankudaibergenov8279 source. I need source for that. because not only do I NOT remember anyone stating this. there's also the fact that in the fight against Gerard later on, the rest of the Vizards who decided to remain in the human world used their masks agains him. so going by your logic, only Kensei, Rose and Shinji have this "warrior's pride"... don't get me wrong, I am very well aware that Bleach characters are the epitome of "pride" but if what you're saying is correct then Shinji wouldn't have used the shineiaku(hollow tablets) so his bankai wouldn't be stolen (even though technically he doesn't need it since he already has hollow reiatsu inside him anyway). idk where you got this "reason" but it's completely baseless. unless of course you can prove me wrong by citing a source.
@@AJLaz000 yup the other guy is just headcanoning alot, there's no source for that anywhere. in fact there's source in CFYOW when it talks about during the 2nd invasion Kensei, not just Mashioru, masked up vs Shuuhei too when trying to train him to get bankai on the spot during TYBW albeit he failed
Ngl, I was kind of creeped out by Rose's Personality while he was using his Bankai. Also I wonder where Mashiro was at during this invasion because she would've been a nice addition to the fight.
To be fair to Kensei, he didn't really get a chance to hollowfy. I mean, he dealt with Masc in, like, two hits, and then got blind sided by a rapid exchange that dropped him. Rose, on the other hand.
Tbf to Rose, it would be a little out there to consider that an enemy would pierce their own eardrums. If Mast didn't have a full heal available he would be at an insane disadvantage since his equilibrium would be gone. Also I don't think Hollow powers would have gave either of them the win
The thing is we never get a timeline for kenpachi vs unohana we just assume it happened and is over. No I believe the fight between them is still going on. And didn't end till about now.
Kensei was really the only one (so far) with the chance to use their masks Shinji was doing just fine until he got one shot by Bambi Rose was shocked when Mask burst his ears and then got one shot

i really like to think that james decided to Not be revived.It's like Mask betrayed james as the Fan by obliterate him And james as the Fan, felt betrayed and just stop being a fan of the Superstar cause the superstar just doing as he please, using the fans for only his own benefit.
To be fair, I don’t think Mask gave either of them time to use their Hollow powers. With Kensei, it was a straight thrashing and he was knocked out before the thought could cross his mind. And with Rose, Mask just kinda one-shots him before anything else could be done.
At the same time, this is a full on Quincy invasion and it's clear that Mask is very powerful as one of the Quncies main officers. Them not using their Hollow masks from the get go is kind of weird.
Perhaps they were trying to distance themselves from their Vizard forms since they are now official officers of the Gotei 13… Though I am not sure if Mashiro follows that mentality
That was a great bleach wrestling episode.
First big W for Renji in a while!! Kind of mad they cut stuff from the Manga that made him look even more overpowered but the fight was fantastic
what’d they cut
First section of the fight where Renji was unfazed by multiple attacks from Mask@@deanthelemur1716
3:30 Her name is Niko Kuna, which might be familiar because she's Mashiro Kuna's sister!
Is Niko Kuna still relevant in the light novels CFYOW?
As soon as mask gave up his mask, he lost the fight.
Also, really hope that we get more of yhwachs backstory from the light novels.
Franky and Masculine see like they’d be good friends
SUUUUUUPER!!
STAAAAAAAR!! 🌟
Kensei's Bankai reminds me of Sun Ce's Musou in Dynasty Warriors. Barrage of wind punches with occasional explosion.
Kensei is my daddy he's so hot! Can't believe most of the girl reactors didn't simp for my daddy Kensei
I mean even in the manga it was called out he was now strong enough to call out the name implying that before this renji was not strong enough to be able to call out the true name of his bankai
In defense of Rose, who in their right mind would imagine their opponent is gonna destroy their eardrums after knowing of that power, close to no one would do it cause even in case of opponents with instant regeneration if they were to do it they'd immediately regenerate and still be affected since it's not something they could choose not to like Mask's case, he did it cause he knew he'd be healed afterwards by James
Exactly. Plus Rose already killed James who’s proven to be the reason behind Mask’s power up.
Considering James bled and everything, it would be completely fair to assume he’s gone for good.
In fact, James is kind of a mystery even to us.
@@jf922 yup. Rose had no reason necessarily at all to assume James can literally clone tons of himself & *wasn't* totally dead when he slices him in half & wasn't even moving for a min. nor was Rose gonna assume a wrestling foe all the way up to that point would randomly pull out a laser beam attack
No no no, under no circumstances is it ever a good idea to tell your enemy what your powers are, regardless of what you think they might or might not do. You don’t take that kind of chance in a war where your comrades are constantly dying. Especially since after telling him this, Mask immediately countered it and it costed Rose the battle. Mask still might have won due to James still being alive but at least it wouldn’t have made Rose look dumb. Rose may have thought James was dead but that doesn’t take away from the fact that Mask showed that he could overcome his Bankai without James’ help. Honestly, the only character who has a valid reason to explain their abilities is Shunsui.
Mask had reason to believe that he was about to be killed. I think that any captain-level fighter when faced with certain death would choose to ruin their ears instead. Deaf beats dead, especially when facing an existential threat looking to exterminate everyone you know and love.
That said, not everyone would be cold blooded enough to do it immediately with no holding back or hesitation. And here Mask knowing that he could be healed was absolutely an advantage.
the next episode is going to be a pretty chill episode :D
new original scene they put really highlights which captains are the ones who will be carrying and also that the gotei's situation was actually really dire if renji and rukia hadn't showed up on time.
3:08
Mayuri: Zombies? Impossible, I haven’t released the plague yet!
18:07 and Quincies are allergic to Hollow power that’s a big one here
36:11 it's actually vasto lorde theme 😅 i believe the official OST name is "What can you see in their eyes"
Since Renji now knows the name of his true bankai, does that mean nownin fights he can decide to use either release form, like Yumichika can do with his zanpakuto's shikai?
1) Renji's comment about superstar will burn out eventually cause it's what they seek is too meta for me.
2) Mask as a superstar obviously relying on James's passionate cheering but when he released his voltstandig , he became too proud and arrogant superstar , which as result didn't care enough even burning his own loyal fan by his action.
3) After James was no more to be seen, Mask also didn't care anymore about hero or justice persona. It was a subtle notion on how a certain superstar only trying to look good only in front , in the eyes of their fan , but not behind them.
4) Without fans ,a star is nothing. Also it much easier for a fan to bring up a star than a star to seek out a fan
Keep up the awesome work and videos tekking
I loved the song that played when Renji went Bankai
FACTz!! It was deadly DOPE!!
og right there
Great episode man, love the content
52:30 not tekking singing let it go for rukia 😂
16:18...i think the main reason the vizards and ichigo dont mask up in this arc is b/c it would be all over like *fingersnap* kiske pointed out the fact that hollow are poison to quincy and for captain lvl+++ hollows joining the fight... there would be on, it would just 180 again. its gone for the sake of plot like how ssj4 was lost after DBgt wasnt cannon anymore.
3:57 Topography is everything
Mask is one of my favorite bleach characters
OK james
The moment taking said Babyface and heel My balls dropped. This man knows what he's talking about here
ITS BANKAST TIME 💪
rose made the bigger one but id still say kensei made a mistake here, in that he just went back into the fight after seeing his opponent just instantly recover and seemingly get stronger from his attack, which should indicate to him that his power alone might not be enough. he shouldn't have been more careful, maybe wait out a bit to observe his opponent, or regroup with rose to coordinate their attacks at the same time instead of just him trying.
Rose and Kensei were in mistake for not using Vizard mask. They're both wrong not just Kensei. In fact, Rose got the higher percentage of whose at fault since he explained his bankai abilities to an opponent
I think they had to split the super star into two people like that if he was one person he probably would have been another version of the miracle
I will forever be mad that Kensei and Rose didn't use their masks.
Well, Rose didn't really get a chance to use his mask...
'im waiting for you rukia can't wait to see you in the next episode it's gonna be some wild shit' boy was he right damn near gave me a panic attack
The change in how Renji gets his true bankai is such a good fix. I always hated how in the manga it just was "Why would my zanpakuto be lying to me about its name this whole time?" "I don't know, but I can just give it to you anyways." Learning your zanpakuto's name is the most important aspect of being a shinigami, and skipping that would ruin everything.
I just noticed, in the intro Uryu's jacket is black like the Quincy's boss, but the inside lining is ORANGE. Like Ichigos hair. Considering his plans it's definitely on purpose.
James' story could've been that he had to retire as a pro wrestler, who was the most popular guy at the time (a superstar) and with the wrestling persona Mask de Masculine, because of an injury and he felt betrayed that his fans all but forgot about him for the next guy. When Ywach gave him a Schrift, he split himself into 2 (similar to Starrk and Kenpachi), one was a younger version of him in his prime with all the power and the other one was an aged version of him to act as his fan(s) who would never stop cheering for him to get better and get back into it. So, technically, they're both James
35:45 very Suprised you didn't mention the luchador mask began to tear.
It actually wasn't explained in the novels why they don't use masks. Most likely reason is C46.
I think they didn't use Vizard Hollow masks is because they don't want Aizen experiment to succeed by putting Quincies down. I think its their pride. The only reason they use Vizard Hollow masks during Aizen villain era was to mock Aizen by using his experiments against him
Has the routine for these vids changed? Keep expecting them to come out Sunday\Monday
Sadly, he prioritized One Piece now over Bleach because One Piece was the reason why he got successful now as a full time TH-camr
@@dylankudaibergenov8279 that kinda sucks
I really wished they'd change it so Rose didn't explain his bankai
Agreed. His only downfall was himself 🤦🏾♂️
I mean, this is Bleach we're talking about.
@@gig7932What is that supposed to mean, exactly? You acting as if this isn't a shonen troupe as old as time lol
That would be hard. Cuz there’s no way they’d change the fact that he gets beaten by Mask puncturing his eardrums. So, that aspect of the fight always had to stay constant. It’s not easy to write around that, and that’s an aspect of the fight that was ALWAYS going to be preserved. They weren’t gonna change the loss condition of rose in that fight.
@@grizzlyv2.076 it is, but of all the shonen manga I've read Bleach is one of the worst offenders.
man shinigami jerry's death was so sad. He had just graduated from academy before second invasion happened
In all honesty if ikkaku just used his bankai I felt like they would’ve won that could’ve eviscerated mask de masculine
Lmao that’s hilarious😂
yeah right lol
I’m being serious
And then what??? James woulda said “get up fool”
It did happen mask got back up after James chanted. But it doesn’t take a genius to know James is the real s all three of them were there dealt killing blow and choose to get bodied when in reality I’m just saying they had two people who could’ve went bankai and didnt. I think they could’ve won if they got more serious about it.
I love how in my recommendations, Nacho Libre is one of them LOL
5 Chapters in one episode is crazy fast pacing. I remember a long stretch of Naruto Shippuden was consistently covering 2 chapters per episode. It was hellishly slow.
Its been a while...😊
25:34 it’s the fire
I haven't seen anyone talk a counterpoint about james being the sternritter and masque is just a manifestation. My headcannon is that James is indeed the sternritter as stated by Ywhach, however, James is the real name of Masque. Similar to how wrestlers use aliases instead of their actual names. James power is basically to manifest a support summon ("James") that buffs and heals him. That's why regardless of being annihilated, Masque said that "James" could reincarnate since they are one (Sternritter's power are etched in their souls from my understanding) meaning he can just resummon "James". Another thing, that star beam thing may be Masque's version of an arrow, albeit a suprpowered one
Mask and James are kinda similar to Starrk and Liliniette
Make a video what if Kensei Shinji and rose used there hollow masked
They easily one-shotted Quincies via Cero due to hollows are poisonous to Quincies
"Let's get ready to rumble" isn't a wrestling thing, that's boxing 😂
Though Michael buffer did open up WrestleMania (I believe) 3, but that's about it
To be fair mask is a combo of njpw and golden era American wrestling(late 70s to late 80s)(hogan vitamin and prayer era).
you know instead of him revealing the bankais secret they could have just made mask smarter then he looks and have him notice that the captain looked like a music conductor with that thing in his hand and theorize it was an illusion via sound so he closed his eyes and took out his eardrums
Tekking there is alot of different pro wrestling companies. Pro wrestling is also really big in japan. If your interested I reccomend aew, njpw to check out, also in one piece Oda based the tourny in dressrosa on a pro wrestling tourny in japan the g1 that recently finished this year.
I want to listen to that remixed song in its full and I can't find it anywhere.
Could you do a what if video about what you think would happened if they used their hollow masks ?
Kensei will just one-shotted Mask and James via Cero due to Hollows are poisonous to Quincies
Well, episode 19 is out in a day… Guess better late than never… I forgot the whole episode bro.
He prioritized One Piece now because his One Piece vids got massive viewers
@@dylankudaibergenov8279 proves my point. Viewership > Authenticity. To think that he was once the face of Bleach on TH-cam
Personally I think the Vizards are just banned from Hollowfing within the Sereitei which is why Kensuke and Shuhei left it to train and for Mashiro to put on her mask
Either that or only the Captains aren't allowed to because they can't have the faces of the court guard using the powers of their enemies
Also I think people come down too hard on Rose
#1. He did kill James immediately and with all current knowledge he had available Mask could no longer heal at that point
#2. Rose said plugging your ears wouldn't do anything to stop it (after Mask did the thing)
#3. I think people don't understand just what destroying your ear drums does it also completely destroys your sense of BALANCE along with your hearing with who Rose had scene as an exclusively physical combatant doing such a thing without a means to fix it would still ensure Mask either wouldn't risk it or it wouldn't matter because he'd be exponentially weaker without balance and potentially unable to reach Rose at all
Matt said Fucking around 💀
I think having shunsui vs haschwalt was the fight we all low-key wanted. What a shame.
Great episode & I am very exited for next weeks
tekking, that renji fight is actually called a "squash" match in wrestling
Next episode must be a quest
This episode was everything I'd hoped it would be. A Renji win!
oh the Hollow Masks would have DEFINITELY made a difference. remember that it was already established that Quincies are severely weak to Hollow Reiatsu. so much so that the Bankai stealing devices IMMEDIATELY malfunctioned the moment the Captains' bankais gained the smallest of hollow reiatsu which implies that Hollow Reiatsu just outright cancels Quincy bs. having Kensei use his Mask and then punch Mask(this is weird) with his hollowfied bankai would have done not only more dmg but would have probably infected him with hollow reiatsu so he wouldn't be able to use his schrift properly or at the very least negate some of his power up since, again, Hollow Reiatsu > Quincy bullsh!t
this is the same problem I have with Shinji vs Bambietta. if Sajin's huge a$$ bankai was fast enough to catch up to a flying VSD Bambi then surely SURELY Shinji with his mask who could probably use sonido would not only be faster than Bambietta but also cancel out her reishi bullets with cero since the reishi bullets NEED to make contact before turning something into a bomb but unfortunately Shinji just stood there, like an idiot, watching Bambi transform and not even moving from where he was standing instead of, I don't know, summoning his mask (which is almost instantaneous btw and quite literally faster than the Volstandig transformation).
Kubo, I love you I do but having the Vizard Captains NOT use their Hollow masks in a literal WAR against people who are WEAK to Hollow Reiatsu is... and I'm not even gonna sugar coat it, stupid. -_-
I love Kubo too but yea there was a lotta stupid decisions he rolled with in the 2nd invasion in general imo. I'm only critical n all in this manner bc Ik he's capable of better. easily one of the most frustrating things in the 2nd invasion is he how chose to utilize the visoreds & I'll never truly get over it lol
The reason why they didn't use Vizard Hollow mask was because they don't want Aizen experiment to succeed by putting Quincies down. Its the warriors pride. The only reason why they use hollow masks during Aizen villain era was to mock Aizen himself by turning his experiments against him
@@dylankudaibergenov8279 source. I need source for that.
because not only do I NOT remember anyone stating this. there's also the fact that in the fight against Gerard later on, the rest of the Vizards who decided to remain in the human world used their masks agains him. so going by your logic, only Kensei, Rose and Shinji have this "warrior's pride"...
don't get me wrong, I am very well aware that Bleach characters are the epitome of "pride" but if what you're saying is correct then Shinji wouldn't have used the shineiaku(hollow tablets) so his bankai wouldn't be stolen (even though technically he doesn't need it since he already has hollow reiatsu inside him anyway).
idk where you got this "reason" but it's completely baseless. unless of course you can prove me wrong by citing a source.
@@AJLaz000 yup the other guy is just headcanoning alot, there's no source for that anywhere. in fact there's source in CFYOW when it talks about during the 2nd invasion Kensei, not just Mashioru, masked up vs Shuuhei too when trying to train him to get bankai on the spot during TYBW albeit he failed
Ngl, I was kind of creeped out by Rose's Personality while he was using his Bankai. Also I wonder where Mashiro was at during this invasion because she would've been a nice addition to the fight.
Man this guy loves his Mayuri impression
Its rough being a fan of the Visoreds 😞
The reason why they didn't use Vizard Hollow mask was probably they were restricted to use it by C46
Mask shouting Star repeatedly is a jojo reference
Imagine gin explaining rose bankai if he had it, probably wouldve trolled the f*ck out poor mask
watching rose lose just reminds me of ulquiorra explaining his healing ability to vasta lorde ichigo lol
Your videos butter My biscuits thank you
To be fair to Kensei, he didn't really get a chance to hollowfy. I mean, he dealt with Masc in, like, two hits, and then got blind sided by a rapid exchange that dropped him. Rose, on the other hand.
Tbf to Rose, it would be a little out there to consider that an enemy would pierce their own eardrums. If Mast didn't have a full heal available he would be at an insane disadvantage since his equilibrium would be gone. Also I don't think Hollow powers would have gave either of them the win
37:11 ig this is where Demon slayer got its ideas from
Is It just me or does mask look a little like hulk hogan when he was doing the mr. America gimmick in the early 2000s
Before anything I would like to ask if entertainment wrestling even existed 1000 years ago
Life is das Leben. It is easy to see similarities. And well... Death is der Tod. Kinda similar too, right?
The thing is we never get a timeline for kenpachi vs unohana we just assume it happened and is over. No I believe the fight between them is still going on. And didn't end till about now.
Kensei was really the only one (so far) with the chance to use their masks
Shinji was doing just fine until he got one shot by Bambi
Rose was shocked when Mask burst his ears and then got one shot
"Heyuh Jaymesuh!"
So Zabimaru is a fire type zanpakto now ?
