He really is well written. I wish he didn't make my skin crawl. The fight was really good, too.

Oh I totally agree with your assessment of how Mayuri was amazed by Nemu and of course this leads to him stroking his own ego in the process. I have started reading some of the Bleach novels and I believe Nemu No. 8 is in the works.

That very well could be, good thing Nemu learned how to disobey orders right?

Haha thanks

Thanks for sharing. I find him discomforting.

@@frikkityfrakwedotalkback oh he definitely is. It's characters like him that make anime unique. Very few mediums want to delve into such twisted and warped individuals. It's a nice but uncomfortable change.

I have no clue

Thanks for subscribing!

My rating scale is 1-5. Thank you for the thought on the difference between action and combat. I will strive to correct my language in future episodes. I agree Ywach does not need to be viewed as a hero or in the same vein as God. I’m a Christian foremost. So what I’m doing in these episodes is I take what happens in them and connect them to teachings from the Bible. For this episode, I take the collaboration of different enemy groups to work together trying to save the world. I think we can learn from how these groups worked together trying to defeat Ywach for Christians to not fight against one another or compete against each other. I hope that helps.

@ okay yeah. That makes sense

@ oh and don’t fret too hard over the “difference” between action and combat. As i said before, you aren’t the first person to say “this episode had no/little action”, and you probably won’t be the last.

I totally respect the religious base of what Bleach was based around. I’m looking at episodes of anime as modern day parables where we can talk about our faith and lessons we learn from the events in anime, manga, Star Wars, etc.

@ Understandable Still a great video.

​@@beauoddball1435eh I would say Taosim is a big inspiration expecialy in the beginning half but Quincies design and overall yhwach seems to take christian beliefs and twist it

Thank you

@@orpheemulemo8053 especially Christian symbology.

That’s an interesting perspective. I am not an expert by any stretch of the imagination in Shinto or Buddhist beliefs (which a lot of Bleach is based around) but I’m curious if 1000 has a special meaning to them like certain numbers have meaning in Hebrew numerology

Thank you! I had fun making it!

Not sure I follow?

Bleach is based around Buddhist and Shinto beliefs because of the cycle of reincarnation with the souls and soul reapers acting as guides of souls to the afterlife. The Quincies symbology has some Christian resonation with similar symbols used. I would totally love to do a deep dive about the series as a whole. I could put that in the works at a future date.

@@frikkityfrakwedotalkback I hope so, would be a dream that would come true

Thanks for the advice will do!

I get the source material for Bleach and religion. What I am doing is drawing parallels from media that we consume, such as anime like Bleach or others like My Hero Academia or Star Wars, etc, and comparing to lessons from the stories that happen in those episodes to lessons we get from the Bible. My intention is not to “white-wash” anything but show that we can learn about lessons of faith in different media and avenues.

This is my podcast where I discuss things from anime and other nerdy things and compare it to lessons in the Bible. This particular episode is "Stripping the Varnish" from My Hero Academia.

@@hotshot3500 huh interesting.

Haha! Sorry, I'm not that technologically savvy!

Thanks!

Thanks! He was a blast to have on the show!

Thank you for the encouragement! I love talking anime and Jesus!

Thank you so much!

Thanks for the encouragement! I love talking Jesus, anime, and all things nerdy!

You're welcome! I love talking anime and Jesus!

I would certainly count that as a fun fact!

Totally agree. There are great parallels in Star Wars (especially the prequels) to events of the Old Testament. There are a ton of wars and fallen kings and kingdoms in the Old Testament that can reflect the Clone Wars and the Fall of the Republic. One of the things that I love about Star Wars is that it can mean different things to different people. I'm a pastor, so I have a tendency to see the Bible either intentionally or unintentionally in whatever I see.

@@frikkityfrakwedotalkback there are certain tropes used in all great literary works that apply to all cultures throughout time, the Bible included. The Hero's Journey for example is repeated so many times throughout it.

@@BluhmGardens One of the thing about the people within the Bible is that I can see myself in quite a few of them (most of their mistakes and sins I have committed myself, but also some of their triumphs as well). Also, when I read the epistles from Paul, most of the time, I feel like Paul's talking to me. The same goes for fiction as well. When I read a story and I connect to the characters or events in it, the story/character helps ground it for me. If I can't connect to it then what's the point?

@@frikkityfrakwedotalkback that is the magic of great authors. In your Faith I'd say that writers are the most blessed by God of all the artists. No other form of artistry can transport you to another realm and hold you there indefinitely.

@@BluhmGardens That's a really interesting way to think about it. My faith and beliefs put the writing of the scriptures as the work of the Holy Spirit. So thank you for that little extra insight to my own faith.

And just like God being Father, Son, and Holy Spirit being 3 separate yet the same all at once Ichigo also unites Soul Reaper, Quincy, and Hollow all at once.

I can definitely see that. There certainly is a connection between holy powers and the Quincies. They seem like a cross between the Knights Templar and the Nazis.

@@frikkityfrakwedotalkback yeah , and also Quilge's Holy Form/Voltstanding's name is called Biskiel which would translate as ''God's Judge / Justice'' , based on that name do you know which biblical figure he represrnts or parallels ? Could he parallel one of the Archangels or not ?

@@KougarManx468 ha-satan (hebraic name for Satan) could be a representative of Quilge's Holy Form. Since Ha-Satan was a "prosecutor" in the Book of Job, that could fit, but that's the first person that came to mind.

@@frikkityfrakwedotalkback if that's the case then it makes a lot of sense , thanks for the info by the way .

My pleasure! Thank you for really great questions and comments!

Thank you!

@@frikkityfrakwedotalkback no problem .
