SENBONZAKURA: Byakuya Kuchiki's Zanpakuto - Bleach Discussion | Tekking101
• SENBONZAKURA: Byakuya ...
Tekking101
/ tekking101
Rukia: He comes everyday to read me Depressing poetry.
Ganju: Now that's a class act right there, What a great guy.
Why must you deepen my heart pit.
@@liquidsleepgames3661 Hado -63 The pain I feel in my soul Every second Blast!
That's my second favorite moment in Bleach (S) Abridged, the first being where Byakuya tells Renji "You're a stupid color and pink just fucked you up"
The scarf of you did ok, but not great.
Byakuya: One more Attack
Ichigo: What?
Byakuya: One more Attack! I'm not doing this anymore that was terrifying!
Can you do something like the zanpakto discussion but with espadas
Or Quincey
You beat me too it....also why are any Espada ranked 4th or higher not allowed to release their Zanpakutō within Las Noches, nor are any Espada allowed to discharge a Gran Rey Cero?
@@thebionicpig Because the power of those two abilities might destroy Las Noches.
Or with the lieutenants
Or if we know a lot about the vizards
Out of all the Zanpakutou in the series, this is the one that best represents its wielder, in my opinion. Byakuya's elegant but ruthless fighting style is perfectly represented by Senbozakura's aesthetic and abilities; I also feel that Byakuya is one of the most well-rounded fighters in Soul Society, which is reflected by the sheer versatility of his Bankai.
Also, if I recall correctly, cherry blossoms are associated with the ability to gracefully accept one's fate and, most importantly, the idea of renewal: the former referencing how Byakuya never hesitated to put his life on the line to protect both Soul Society and those he cared about, and the latter referencing his admittedly awesome character arc after the loss of Hisana.
According to the databooks the best all rounders are unohana kyoraku Gin and hitsugaya . But yes byakuya is not the most powerful or the fastest or the smartest but he is always quite good
@@marionarda2790 to bad we never see gin actually fight seriously, but Byakuya is good at reading his opponents which might be better than just having latent skill.
also how is hitsugaya an all rounder i don't think his uses one piece of kido, but i do assume that all captains can use kido up to a certain point without using the incantation, just how high can they go is the question
@@bigstopowens hitsugaya is an all rounder in the databooks. Byakuya is not better at reading his opponent than the others . Gin is a snake , he stabs you in the back .
@@marionarda2790 byakuya is ranked higher by power than hitsugaya and is a kido master
@@CAMZAMV by his fans yes . And given how much stronger than byakuya at the same age
My favorite byakuya moments
1. Senkei senbonzakura kageyoshi vs koga (absolutely STUNNING scene, and the translation: massacre scenes felt soooo majestic, even koga acknowledged its beauty. I love how the pink passed through koga's pupils it felt so surreal
2. Byakuya vs ichigo, loved the surprised ichigo and his reaction to all senbonzakura stages. The numerous states byakuya showcased was sooo hype for me!
_Byakuya has triple C** swagger_
(**Cool, calm, collected)
Nailed it. 🤩
Cootchie, catching, constantly
And proud
Cringe
Byakuya is literally my favorite captain in the series. Like he had a tragic past between his love or his place as a noble and you can ser how he loved rukias sister. So when he was torned off between following the rules when he had to kill rukia, i see sense so how people give crap to renji for hurting rukia for doing his job is unfair. But both characters cared a lot for her. So yeah all of his fights are great. Great character great development.
I like byakuya but i think He needed to die in the last arc
@@thetranscendent6927 Say that to the fan that infuriates to Kubo.... which made him change his plan. Byakuya was going to die...
@@thetranscendent6927 This was favorite character out of everybody in Bleach. At first I felt the same as you did , and then when he came back, I did not mind here is why..
I honestly think it would have been a beautiful way to send off his character. For the most of the series he scolds Ichigo, even told Ichigo in the "Fake Karakura Town Arc" He tells him he is not qualified to be in the Gotei 13 before he goes to battle Aizen. Even though he grown accustomed to him and respected him, He is not a man that presents those emotions to anybody . Thats why the part where he pleaded with him to save Seireitei, was powerful, his main purpose was to protect the place he loved and honor the family name. He had to ask an outsider while he is dying, to save soul society, someone that he once viewed as being inferior to him . It could have ended right there for me, I would have been salty cause that is my favorite character, but it would have been great send off.
Then he came back in such a way that was true to his character . While Rukia fighting As Nodt , he comes back tells Rukia she is now formidable in skill. She always wanted some type of acknowledgement from him, so that meant the world to her, I really enjoyed that. And Then he turns his back on the man that almost killed him, like your that arrogant of an asshole to turn your back on someone who almost killed you lol He viewed him just as he viewed Zommari Rureaux,. While the correct move may have been to kill him, I loved that moment.
Torned
I really love how Kubo designs things in Bleach, and Senbonzakura is one of his best designs even if some of its best qualities are not directly shown. If you think of the Shikai as a branch of a tree, then the Bankai (when first released) is a grove of trees. Byakuya standing at the front of a sakura grove with all the branches in full bloom and then allowing them to scatter to defeat his enemies is such a quality aesthetic that some people might not realize.
Wow. I honestly didn't see them as a grove of trees. Just when I thought he couldn't be more awesome!
“This is my plant-based zanpakuto” -Tekking101 in some old video
I have my own that is nature based
@@lillith7257 Random question: Know Sci Man Dan?
Yeah, i said random, so dont question that.
@@slevinchannel7589 two years later, you finally got an answer, which is no.
Video should be titled "Tekking Fan girling over Byakuya" lol
He is also my favorite captain
GOD OF ART lol si true, who wouldn’t
Fan boying
LoL
Mayuri is he favority captain
You should do former Captains also (more specifically Urahara).
hell yeah. especially the reconstruction theory for Shikai
@GOD OF ART theory is that the red energy Urahara blast out when in Shikai is actually Benihime. so she reconstructs herself in Shikai and bankai she reconstructs others
This is going to be great!
Enjoyed the entire series!! Thanks Matt!
I know I can't be the only one who whispers, "Senbonzakura Kageyoshi" every time I drop something in a garbage can.
Renji kinda forgot about his bankai .... while Senbonzakura clearly didn.t forgot about him (D&D)
😂Slagging off D&D for butchering GOT always feels good
In his fight with Tsukishima, I loved how re reacted to his fullbring. Even with the inserted memories he was like "You're an enemy of Ichigo. That's all I need to fight.", or something like that. So badass!
I really enjoyed watching these Zanpakuto discussions, Tekking. Took me back to the good ol' days of Bleach's era. Ah. 😊
I always think of Gaara sand manipulation when Byakuya use senbonzakura.
I specifically remember seeing the 3rd kazekage and exclaiming "that's Byakuya's thing!"
@GOD OF ART I'm pretty sure Byakuya is fast enough to be able to slice apart Gaara before the sand could become an actual threat lol. I mean Lee was able to bypass the defenses of Gaara through the 8 gates which means hypothetically that Byakuya could just shunpo right behind Gaara and slice him.
@@Laidenx45 probably depends when you take either one from.
Prt 1 garra yeah he'd get slaughtered but prt 2?
While the speed scaling is different but I don't think he's too much faster than the people that garra fights
Not to mention if it's in the desert
But byakuya probably has enough fire to glass the sand so he'd probably still win
Jamesandrei Pilorin Lee had never gone beyond 6th gate
@SONIC ART Byakuya flash steps and breaks Gaaras sand skin. Gaara uses ultimate sand defense and is protected from shikai. Byakuya points one finger targeted towards Gaaras heart and says "Hado 4, Byakurai" and the lightning pierces the sand shell and destroys Gaaras defense and heart. Shukaku takes over. Byakuya responds with Bankai. After a short clash, Byakuya uses Senkei and sends all thousand swords and ends the fight with reiatsu to spare.
Thanks for the series! Byakuya is my favorite character, and I do truly appreciate a 27 minute video of you going on and on about how cool Senbonzakura is lol 👏🏻👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
12:02 Tekking used to do tumbles on the bed, but that all changed when he took a sword to the knee 🤣🤣 also the Quincy nation attacked 😂
What the 😂😂😂😭
Since cherry blossoms are referred to death, Senbonzakura meaning "Thousand Cherry Blossoms" could also refer to "Thousand Deaths".
The bon is probably the count Kanji hon (It is also used for the word book, but ironically you use -satsu for books). Literally, 1000(sen)-count kanji(bon)-sakura(cherry blossom).
Yes, 本 is the counter for long or slender objects (...and a number of other things :) ).
Would be cool to see an eventual discussion on the Arrancars
Now that we know stuff about their "Over the Ressurection"
Maybe when we get it of all of them?
i get he may not enjoy boruto or naruto anymore for that matter but I kinda wish matt would make some boruto related or at least naruto videos..hes too smart not to understand its meaning symbolism themes unlike 85% of the fanbase and he can teach some people some things I feel about the series that they should know...doesnt mean you have to enjoy it or agree just understand what the author wanted to do with it...its not just a show where becoming hokage means power and saving sasuke Is because fiendship..theres more to it then that same for the villains minus I guess kaguya....people like to put it in a box and hate on the war for example because madara became fodder...lets be real...the war was great but because madraa got fucked people just claim the show sucked in the war..smdh...
This bankai is so versatile, they did byakuya dirty in that ichihgo fight
I remember seeing Bleach for the first time in my life in france (i'm italian) when i was 13. It was the scene where Byakuya butchered Ganju with his shikai, i had no idea about anything but i knew immediately that guy was the shit.
When you realize that Byakuya could have just ended all his fights immediately by using Gokei
Didn't Tsukishima tell Byakuya that Gokei would fail?
@@itsyaboychipsahoy.7989 plot hole, there was nothing tsukishima could do
Would that have worked against the sternritter
@@seunglee6990 I suppose not because they could just steal senbonzakura kageyoshi before he could use gokei
I can’t tel you how much joy these Bleach videos have brought me. I hope you’ll continue to do some Bleach content every now and then!
I haven’t watched Bleach in a long time. I’m not a diehard anime fan, currently watching Brooklyn 99 for example. You’re videos still being me back because of your amazing enthusiasm! I love your work my dude
Dude tekking! Literally since the start if this series every single time that im about to mow my lawn you up load of one these videos. LITERALLY ALL 13!! And i lovingly love it each and everytime i mow.
*本* does mean *Book* and *Origin* etc, but it can also be used as a counter, or measure word. In this case, the *本* in *千本桜* means something like *Pieces* , as in Thousand Pieces of Cherry Blossom.
It's not something that can always be translated into English exactly.
Appreciate this
Ah gotta love bleach. Next to Nen, Zanpakuto's are my favourite power system.
FryedPidgey reiatsu aka spiritual pressure is the power in bleach not the zanpakuto.
Tekking. I know you'll probably never see this. But I want to say thank you. I was in an extremely dark place today and it nearly won. But your video and personality brought a smile to my face and helped me realize things could be okay. So thank you. Keep doing what you're doing and if you ever doubt that it matters. Just know it helped at least one person
Tekking is the only Person I can listen to talking about anything for hours on end
Ahh my favorite captain, Byakuya Kuchiki
My Favorite Banki Senbonzakura
Was a long wait but its here
^^
*Squees like an anime girl*
My favorite captain is Kenpachi!
What's your favorite espada?
@@Kratosspartanman Would be a very close call between Ulquiorra and Grimmjow.
Probably would have to go with Grimmjow though for favorite Espada though in the end.
But would be very close. I think while Ulquiorra got a more amazing fight I just... I really didn't like how he died if that makes sense? the just dissolving instead of being actually cut down made his death feel cheaper than it probably actually was.
@@ArticJane same, but if I were to compare the two final fights, my favorite fight will be Ulquiorra's. It's just the end of the fight how he got rekt by vasto Lorde Ichigo
@@Kratosspartanman Oh I agree that Ulquiorra's fight was freaking amazing, Just the turning to dust and stuff was so anti climactic and its like Ichigo got kind of an undeserved win with him. Even Ichigo was like "I don't want to win this way" so...
I want to see a spin off with Ilumi, Byakuya and Itachi!
The big trio of bad-but-actually-good big brothers.
Archol Illumi is good? I’ve only watched the HxH anime, so does he turn good in the manga or something?
@@sya8109 He really cares about Killua and his family. He joined Phantom Troupe just to protect Kalluto from Hisoka (Hisoka decided to kill every single of Troupe, and Kalluto is a member himself) so I think he's good.
Archol Oh wow. I hope they continue with the anime someday. I only watch the dub...can’t stand subs (only exception is One Piece). Lol
Byakuya’s always seemed broken so speak since he always had more “swords” due to the powers of senbonzakura
Slaughter-scape
Maw-scape
End-scape
Looks like you won't Es-cape from this one.
Man-scape (͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
lmao
Matt, I really needed this one today. Thanks so much man.
i love yo commentary dude . i loved this video . boutta binge your channel
Loving the petals around the room
construction ideas for Byakuya that he was too poetic or lacked initiative to make:
- the floor is lava, construct an outer (or inner) layer of blades within the floor and/or walls and attack at will through spikes, leaving the enemy minimal room to stop and think or even attack.
- construct armour out of the blades (would need to break the blades whole boundary rule, and would require minute control over the blade if you dont want to be made into mince by the time you call back the blade, though worth it since you're basically untouchable)
- less of a construction, but showering the opponents general area before sending quick bursts through the other blades to confuse them (like shooting a bullet through a cloth, opponents too distracted by said cloth to react to the gun)
- could construct puppets out of the blades that fight with the blade form of senbonzakura
the book kanji (hon) is used as a counter. Like 2 slices of pizza, where slices is the counter.
Thank you Tekking for bringing Bleach back in this way hopefully getting more people to watch/read it and ending on SenbonZakura was a nice touch.
God it brings back memories to see the old room I miss the tekking tumble.
The beginning lol I freaking love you
Vibrant display of 1000 cherry blossoms 🌸 Which ever you prefer
Love TekKing’s Enthusiasm..he my Got To Bleacher.
I love his videos it give such a better understanding
As an OG fan of the channel, please continue doing weekly bleach content. Really brings back good memories
Tekking101: Leader of the Kuchiki family fanclub
Have loved this series immensely. I hope more Bleach videos are to come. Gotta say I loved Byakuya/Renji more than any other Byakuya fight as well. That, and the Tsukushima fight.
Final Episode?!? Bro I enjoyed these so much! You better make more vids Tekking lol 🤟🏽🤟🏽
If it wasn’t for hollow Ichigo interference, Byakuga would of won hands down.
Yeah, pretty much
You mean the real zangetsu interference ?
Obviously, I mean to put it in video game terms Hollow Ichigo basically took a couple of Byakuya's health bars and then passed the controller back to Ichigo. lol
I mean that like saying if byakuya didn’t have a zanpakuto he would have lost.
Supa Mario hollow Ichigo or white Ichigo or whatever you want to call him is literally the actually zangetsu and they tell you this in the manga taking him away is like taking away senbon Sakura from byakuya
Ive enjoyed watching your Zanpaktou videos. CPT Byakuya Kukichi is one of the best captains in the Gotei 13.
Imagine this, if Byakuya and Rukia worked together, Rukia would use her Hakuren to freeze the opponent, then Byakuya would finish him off by using his Shikai or Bankai to shatter the frozen opponent. How cool would that have been?
Coolest Bankai in my opinion
Obviously lol! I only wish ikkaku could have had more of a showcase with his bankai.
Ikkaku’s bankai is so useful.
One of the most beautiful and visually facinating swords in anime.
Imagine toosen and byakuya used their enmakorogi and senkei at the same time
100 subs without an video that’s why I kinda wish they had the captains go to hueco mundo in the past or something to show their complete potential
4:37 The hon/bon kanji in the middle is the counting particle used for long objects, like blades.
Black Clover hype!!!
the recognition it got in the last year sor so might make the old stigma disapear one day
Can we just appreciate that he's wearing a scarf just like Byakuya?
One of the most elegant bankais for real!
I’ve been waiting for this one since you started the series my boy!
For the sen-bon sakura kanji. The 本 'bon' kanji is used as a counter. For instance, in japanese you use different counters when referring to things (which helps since japanese is a contextual language). Bon is used for long thin things in reference to the blades.
So yeah
Thank you for all your work brother Tekking
Thank you so much for all videos you made. You are one of my absolutely best youtubers ever. :)
Jsi borec. Mám moc rád tvoji tvorbu.
A wooden senbonzakura....means you mastered wood style and a bankai 👀...you are a true master Tekken-Sama
He’s the Neji of Bleach
Yayyyy! Black Clover Discussion Series!!!!
Keep the train rolling......
Did black clover get any better? I sort of got bored when they introduced that one guy with red hair the teacher I think
@@SundaySun21 I would say that is the slowest part of the story so far. After that the stakes get bigger and the arcs are pretty action packed.
I miss the bleach videos. U get so excited and passionate about them. Can we have a vizards series like this one?
My favorite bleach character. Great video!
Just got into Black Clover!! So pumped you are doing a discussion on it! Tekking you are the frikken man
And yet another hilarious moment from Matt while talking about zomarri and byakuya’s fight
Thanks for covering my favorite Zanpaktou 🌸
It seems that his blade is limited only by what his imagination can produce. There should be a wide variety of ways that he could construct his blade to attack or defend.
The name Senbonsakura is really cool, Imo, for a few reasons.
Senbon were a type of long needle weapon used by shinobi, so the name could be interpreted to mean 'cherry blossom needles' as well as 'thousand cherry blossoms'. Also, according to google translate (which is unreliable at best, I know, but it might be true) 本桜 means 'real cherry blossom', while 本 by itself means book, so I guess 千本桜 means '1000 real cherry blossoms'. Don't know why they needed to specify real but I guess they did, maybe to make it tie in to the senbon thing?
Bleach was the first anime i ever really got into and i remember thinking Senbonzakura was the coolest idea in the world back when i was 16 watching it... It still ranks pretty highly tbh
Cherry blossom is a huge thing in Japanese culture...... a symbol is strength and the strive for perfection in all things. Sums up byakyua perfectly
My favorite Captain! Dude's dope!
The 本 in 千本桜 is being used as a counter for blades/swords
I'm so sad this series is done ... and Byakuya vs Renji was epic... their relationship really changed after that... it was subtle ... but there. Anyways, thanks for doing this series and this was the perfect ending to this. But my fav was actually him taking on Kōga Kuchiki
The one thing I wish he did [or any other captain for that matter], was to combo with Kido + martial arts. I mean imagine Byakuya rushing an opponent while cladding himself in sebonzakura [as an armor as insurance against blind enemy attacks] as well as using it as a blind side attack against his enemy. Couple this with various kido to throw the enemy off guard.
I'd say his sword is less like Legos than it is like a paintbrush. He can paint his masterpiece, and his abilities are only limited by his own artistic talent. He even acknowledged this against As Nodt when he fought him in his shikai after training at the soul palace.
Volume 57 was the first volume of Bleach I bought. Great cover, amazing set of chapters.
Bleach does have some great covers, simple yet artistic.
Byakuya and Sosuke are two best examples to illustrate powerful but flexible captains in all four shinigami fighting styles.
6:45 Dude he can literally draw and sheet the sword without making the blade visible. He ain't need to use bankai on a hollow.
Honestly, thinking about it, Gokei really should be his most powerful move. You're stabbed from all directions by millions of blades moving at the speed of shunpo
That's my favorite zanpakuto. Good job.
I love you Tekking thank you so much, I hope yo make another one in the near future
PLEASE discuss more of the Bleach filler. I feel like the arcs are very underrated and get too much undeserved hate. I love all of the Bleach filler!
My favourite captain and zanpakuto been waiting for this thank you Tekking Byakushi is my senpai
Yo great video Tekking senpai, but when are you going to do espada Number 9 just wondering because in my opinion he has the coolest design in the show.
I thought he was some kind of 2-headed Vampire at first due to his dislike of sunlight.
He did it brother
Good series, loved to come back for more bleach content, hopefully we see the anime return one day.
It's BAAAACK!
Can't wait for Black Clover videos! Thank you for these amazing series.
You should explain the Espada's resurrections for another series. It would be really nice to continue these bleach discussions
Soi Fon should have fought Zamari. Byakuya Vs. Barragan would be a fantastic fight
Soi fon is faster than him and she was barely able to escape respira. Byakuya would have died.
Also, Senbonzakura would basically melt if it went near Barragon. Like snow falling into a fire. Likewise, Soifon only has 1 weapon and no fancy techniques beyond speed. As soon as Zamari used his Resurrection, she'd be screwed.
Bankai never come back if Broken. It would be really sad if Byakuya lost all of his flower petals to decay.
I freaking love you Tekken 101
Senbonzakura is just like LEGOs, and just as painful.
lol
I know this video is years old but as for the 本 in 千本桜, 本 can be used to count "long skinny things" so One thousand long skinny Sakura petals.
Im happy for the new bleach video but at the same time sad that its the last one
Wow early to 2 TH-cam videos, I’m ballin this afternoon
Man.. am falling in love with your personality 😂😂
