Happy New Year everyone! Thanks again for all of the support in 2023 - I hope everyone's had a great year, and I'm excited to see what's in store for Bleach in 2024. Let me know your favourite characters down in the comments!
“just hit 10,000 subscribers, about 3 years ago“ that one made me think about how you were the single person who that long ago got me into my crazy manga love! Thanks Mr.Tommo!!
Loved the content this year. Was wondering if you ever considered making a Top 10 VA list for Bleach (Jap or En)? I know you're more of a manga guy but it would be interesting to hear your opinion on the voiceover work done in Bleach.
Shunsui's strength lies in his practical reasoning and willingness to do anything to win. He knows honor is not the call in war. On the other hand he has become a force for true change for the very first time in Soul Society's history, recognizing that the old ways are no longer viable. His cooperative and approachable demeanor also helps.
More than that too, due to his attitude of war he much more prefers peace, joy, alcohol, and rest. Yet, when push comes to shove, he sees the necessity to be ruthless. This is my favorite part of him, this interesting dichotomy.
@@fenrirsilver6441 True that. He's lethal and will get ugly in war but off he will happily share a drink with a human. Him meeting with Ichigo's human friends shows us where he's at, no other Shinigami of his status would do that for both safety and just petty pride.
@@fenrirsilver6441 Yes, he's endured and seen enough in his long lifetime to both be effective in war but also loathe it. His ruthlessness is a product of those struggles yet it hasn't totally taken him. This was best seen when he prevented Nanao from finishing Chad, it can be chalked up to wanting Chad questioned but his frantic insistence that she stop indicated he doesn't want her hands stained red.
The fact that so many villains made it onto this list shows how impactful Kubo’s bad guys are. Who is Optimus Prime without Megatron? Who is Goku without Frieza? And who is Ichigo without Kon?
My top 10 as it stands rn are: 1. A tie between Yamamoto and Bambietta 3. Yhwach 4. Ichibei 5. Shunsui 6. Starrk 7. Harribel. 8. Neliel. 9. Yoruichi 10. Kisuke
Hard to pick not many characters I dislike but mine are: 1) Shunsui 2) Ulquiorra 3) Hitsugaya 4) Yoruichi 5) Byakuya 6) Urahara 7) Senjumaru Honorable mention: Atau Rindō: I feel like he’s going to become a fan favorite. Cool design and concept.
Mayuri is my favorite. He embodies so much of what I love about the series. A great design, fantastic fights, fun and witty dialouge, dark humor, fascinating themes, moral ambiguity and a very interesting philosophy that you can reflect on. Of course I love others like Aizen, Askin, Ulqiorra, Grimmjow, Bazz-B, Yhwach, Kenpachi, Gin, Sajin, Tsukishima, Rukia and Ichigo is a wonderful main protagonist.
Mayuri saved us from the dragged-out slog of a fight with Szayelaporro. How fitting that after Szayelaporro made us suffer a never ending fight, Mayuri's drug made it so he wouldn't actually get the sweet release of death for 100 years! Both dead and alive at the same time, and the most torturous way to die ever!
Senjumaru skyrocketed her way into my top ten with all of the new anime-exclusive content. In terms of pure aesthetics, I think she is the best designed character in Bleach by a country mile-which is fitting for a seamstress.
I totally agree. She is my top 1. For those of us who read the manga and seeing the anime and the changes they made, her revealing her bankai it was a jaw dropping moment
My favourite Character is probably a cop out but its ichigo hes journey is so compelling and seeing him change in both power and maturity is very satisfying.
He is my favourite too , he feels like something that i needed but i didnt know i wanted it, his character journey , his design , his symbolism of rain are compelling to me , i was just waiting for him to show up in this list
Aizen is also my top 1 as well as my very first anime villain favorite (with Madara coming in second). The one thing about Aizen that sets him apart from the typical villain is his mysterious, almost mythical nature. Normally we'd get the villain's flashback, but with Aizen we don't even know where he came from. A godlike being that seemingly came into the world out of nowhere. And his power to this day rivals even newer characters that came after him, unlike other major villains that gets overshadowed by new ones. And lastly is his motivations. A classic, very powerful villain would always be about world domination or world destruction but with Aizen he's neither. He's so far above everyone else that he believes he's meant to be a God that will make a better world. All that and then you add his personalities (manipulative, sadistic, has dark humor, provocative etc) as cherry on top and you got the most iconic and greatest villain in anime of all time. Plus he's a meme-able character. 😂
As a villain Aizen is diabolical, OP in the best way, and still one of the biggest trash talkers I’ve seen. But what I love is also how he has this depth to him that you really have to dig for. Ichigo wondering if he wanted to loose never felt like Kubo trying to get pity points for the villain. But instead showing a side we may never see again. I both love and hate how he has no back story. He never will have one but I do wish we could get glimpses of who he is as a person. Regardless, he’s a legendary character in all of anime for a reason
My top 10 with reasons are 1. Gin Ichimaru: As a kid my dad put on Bleach (it's his and my favorite anime) and I remember watching the soul society arc, now what's fun about this is that I thought that Gin had a kitsune mask originally, and every time I remembered him I thought that when he smiled he had the mask off as like a sinister pot point. I also love the plot around trying to kill Aizen for the Hogyoku, and how he literally did more than a lot of characters. 2. Aizen: I feel like he belongs on everybody's list because he was wrote so well as an antagonist, and who doesn't love a villain that can alter a person's sight? 3. Starkk: I love Starkk as a character. He's the best Espada in my opinion. His solitude making him split to create Lillinette as well is just perfect. It sucks that he got killed by Shunsui just because he "had to", even though Shunsui is literally the most peaceful guy. Like with Chad. 4. Byakuya: He is an amazing character. He gives off the sense of I do what I must to protect the people I love, like Gin and that just makes me love him. The first time I saw him was watching with my dad as well. I thought he was so cool when he just "one shot" Ichigo as a kid. 5. Bazz-B: The whole plot line with Jugram where they grew up together and then got split apart. Only for Jugram to end up being the one to kill him in the end. Was one of the best and most heartbreaking stories for me. 6. Tokinada: He is a truly terrifying villain, having created Hikori (I may have forgot her name) so he could become the ruler, and he capped of the four clans we heard about. 7. Mayuri: A man who I originally hated to my core, but he grew on me so much as I watched the series. He was very difficult to rank, I originally had him before Aizen, but then I thought more about how I feel about the character more personally and I connect with Starkk more. Mayuri still is one of the cruelest characters in Bleach, who I just love. 8. Candice: Smash. 9. Izuru: Just one of the most depressed and sad characters. He lost Gin who he was close to. I remember the scene where he and Rangiku went out to drink after Gin left. His return is one of the coolest things. He fought the chicken version of Lille Barro, who is one of my least favorite characters. 10. BG9: A cold and calculated robot, who we never got to see the full potential of. He was a character that just looked and acted so cool. He deserved a spot on this list. Also he fought Soi Fon so even better. Honorable Mentions: Shunsui, Yukio, Kisuke.
Great list! My personal choices are: 1. Starrk/Lilynette 2. Urahara 3. Aizen 4. Askin 5. Unohana 6. Hisagi (despite how Kubo trashed him in the Quincy arc) 7. Gin 8. Kenpachi 9. Senjumaru 10. Yoruichi Honorable mentions would be Tousen, Barragan, Rukia, Ichigo and Ishida.
*My personal Top Ten as of Right Now:* *1.* Mayuri *2.* Shunsui *3.* Urahara *4.* Shinji *5.* Gin *6.* Rukia *7.* Aizen *8.* Grimmjow *9.* Askin *10.* Ikkaku _15 Honorable Mentions (not really in any order) to Round Out a Top 25:_ Zaraki, Bazz-B, Ulquiorra, Hisagi, Tsukishima, Yoruichi, Tosen, Yhwach, Senjumaru, Isshin, Ryuken, Izuru, Yamamoto, Orihime, Byakuya.
@@travisluvrukia Yeah, Ichigo should have been in my honorable mentions. Not sure how I missed him lol. @tekenadave4270 That one is intentional. Hitsugaya is one of my least favorite major characters.
Great list! Glad to see Rukia climbing the ranks! It's a bit odd Ichigo didn't make it on here, guessing it's fatigue since he's the one most on screen that we know most about? When it comes to Aizen, i would very much like a backstory. Feels like i don't get where his motivation comes from or what exactly it is he wants to change about the system or why. While he is cool and does move the plot, i just don't resonate with his character. There's too much we don't know about him imo. Anyway, this is my top 10: 10. Aizen 9. Grimmjow 8. Kenpachi 7. Renji 6. Byakuya 5. Ulquiorra 4. Mayuri 3. Rukia 2. Ichigo 1. Kisuke Honerable mentions: Uryu, Toshiro, Komamura,
People are underestimating kubo's writing of a backstory, if aizen does get a backstory, it won't ruin his character, especially since kubo mentioned that he prefers consistent evil villains, I bet if aizen gets a backstory, it won't be sad, young aizen was most likely evil from the jump, which makes him even better in my opinion 😂😂
this right here, if aizen does get a backstory in the anime as extra content or even in the hell arc, i am just hoping kubo keeps it consistent, giving aizen a sad backstory would ruin his character, but giving him a backstory that is consistent with the way he is now basically pure evil, would make aizen even more goated than he already is
It’s been another amazing year for Bleach! After the OG anime ending I’ve still loved Bleach but was never part of the community. This year I finally joined Bleach communities and Bleach RUclipsrs finally sparked my love of Bleach again right before Cour 2 aired. So thank you for all the community and content this and many other years!
Love all the bleach content. Love your channel, bud. My favorites have always been Uryu Ishida, Shinji Hirako, Hisagi and Gin. I also have a soft spot for those losers the Fullbring!
I also find it interesting that in the postwar era, Kisuke has contributed to Soul Society's gradual change by having his tech become available as purchasable products including radio and TV. The spread of information certainly has contributed, and all of this coming from someone who once literally killed to keep a stagnant status quo intact while his inventions only benefited a few.
So glad I found your channel! Since I have been watching and rewatching your videos, Bleach has moved up to my 2nd favorite anime. Keep up the AMAZING BLEACH CONTENT!
Tbh the idea of Kokujo Tengen-Mioh against Gerard is very wonderful for me but asides for that, he's role in the whole, with and against Tosen and even in TYBW was so memorable.
My top 10 would be following: 1. Grimmjow 2. Yoruichi 3. Ichigo 4. Hitsugaya 5. Ulquiorra 6. Halibel 7. Aizen 8. Urahara 9. Bambietta 10. Kenpachi. But damm is rhe cast of Bleach awesome.
Rukia will always be one of my favorite characters, but I do wish Kubo stuck with her TYBW design (the short hair and Ōken Clothing). The earmuffs and visor aren't practical, but it looks amazing on her and really elevates her character design.
0. Nnoitra (can't lie about me just loving stubborn scumbags like him) 1. Chad (do I really need to say anything?) 2. Kon (it's really a shame that the fact of what a good person he is gets overshadowed by gags even in the manga itself) 3. Szayelaporro 4. Gin 5. Grimmjow 6. Tosen 7. Unohana 8. Keigo (another underrated good guy) 9. Inoue Sora (Orihime's brother) 10. Edrad Lioness (Grimmjow Fraccion who fought Bankai Ikkaku) Honorable mentions: Mayuri, Tsukishima, Don Kanonji(him appearing to fight Aizen was the single most emotional moment for me. Seeing an underdog like him at such a late state of the story... I couldn't hold my tears), Quilge Opie, Liltotto, Lilynette, Wonderweiss
There is a vast amount of characters that I like that its always been hard to fit many in just a few spots. 10. Uryu 9. Urahara 8. Zangetsu/White 7. Harribel 6. Byakuya 5. Sung Sun 4. Ulquiorra 3. Barragan 2. Ichigo 1. Aizen Honorable mention to Commander Yamamoto for being the most badass old man.
I love you and your videos so very much! I find the background music on this and the toshiro video a tad distracting personally but it won't stop me from watching by any means
As of right now my top 10 favourite Bleach characters (and honourable mentions) would have to be: 13. Lisa Yadōmaru 12. Shinji Hirako 11. Candice Catnipp 10. Senjumaru Shutara 9. Isane Kotetsu 8. Askin Nakk Le Vaar 7. Kisuke Urahara 6. Gin Ichimaru 5. Izuru Kira 4. Retsu Unohana 3. Coyote Starrk 2. Shunsui Kyōraku 1. Suì-Fēng
I want to thank you for your content mr tommo your work really helped me during my darkest time when my girlfriend broke up with me I hope you have a great new year
My man, gonna watch the full video, but meanwhile.....well done for whole of 2023, love yr content and even watched some videos multiple times cuz i just loved them so much ❤
I really love all of them, I think if I had to make a list right now it would be something like this 1. Aizen 2. As Nodt 3. Senjumaru (The anime has done so much for her) 4. Ulqiourra 5. Urahara 6. Byakuya 7. Shunsui 8. Yhwach 9. Tsukishima 10. Uryu (The anime has expanded on his role so much) Even this list is very questionable to me
I wpuld watch your personal ranking of your favorites for every character in the series. You could divide it in a couple of vids and run a supercut at the end. Another good one would be ranking each character per arc.
my fave is probably the Grand Fisher. the first antagonist and yet engrained deep in the memories of every bleach reader. the beginning of horror of the supernatural and unknowns. so pivotal to the mysteries and growth of the protagonist and his close ones.
for me here are my top ten 10: Aizen 9: Hashwalth 8: Rukia 7: As Nodt 6: Nel 5: Askin 4: Yourichi 3: Uyru 2: Uharara 1: Shunsui Honorable mentions are in no particular order: Senjumaru, Yuyu Yayahara, Starkk, hallibell, Komomoro
Happy New Year Tommo! On the topic of As Nodt and Askin, I would have loved if Kubo put them together as a duo, since I think they'd work pretty well as villainous foils to each other. Askin is outwardly goofy but inwardly calculating and analytical, while As Nodt is outwardly calm and composed, but inwardly he is pretty much insane. I feel like it would have done a lot for both of them as characters, but especially As Nodt. Plus, the two are my two favorite Sternitter, it would have been great to see them interact and play off each other.
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez Shuhei Hisagi Shunsui Kyōraku Coyote Starrk Chad Ikaku Madarame Yoruichi Shihouin Kensei Muguruma Sosuke Aizen Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck I could easily replace some of these characters with Ginjo, Kaname, Barragan, Gin, Askin, Bazz-B, or Urahara. Which is a real credit to Kubo for creating so many amazing characters.
Would be neat to see what your favorite minor, or limited appearance characters are. For me in that, I think Hanataro would be mine. Especially his shikai, it's so unique.
1. Yamamoto; who else could it be other than Mr. #1. I love sage characters and there is no greater character of this trope than he. 2. Kyoraku. The sunflower samurai; shrewd and every bit as elusive as the namesake. Dope look at what is basically the only guy who embodies an oldschool samurai, inwardly and outwardly. 3. Barragan. Same as Yama, but with the added benefit of having perhaps my all time favorite power: time control. 4-5. Kurotsuchi and Zaraki. Hard to choose between the two. Great designs, great character development flaws and all. Both stars and like Tommo said both could have been war potentials. 6. Komamura. Yamamoto lite - in mindset, not power, obviously. Great design, number, backstory, zanpakuto, all of it. Shame he is, indeed an absolute joke in this series. 7. Soifon. Again, like Komamura she's reminiscent of Yama in mindset. Great design, one of my absolute favorites. She's adorable and likely a closet tsundere, which adds to her appeal. 9. Ichibei. Yamamoto's uncle. Not at all reminiscent of Yama in mindset, but does have much of the same sagey goodness and even more (!) OP. 10. Aizen. Captain Aizen that is. He was nice AF. When he disintegrated that huge hollow with Ichimaru as his lieutenant back in the day...yeah I knew he was him. For the most part, 1-5 are set for me. The rest is debatable as far as position, but not composition. I never found any of the quincies interesting, other than maybe a true one like Ryuuken. Same with the Fullbring whom I feel were the least interesting group concept since the Bounts despite or (in spite of) being canon.
It really is amazing how good Kubo is with characters. How many other manga are there where another person could make a top ten out of entirely different characters and you would go... you know what that is fair? Those are all believably top 10 characters.
I dont know why but ichigo doesnt seem to be appealing and interseting characters to most , i'll admit that in front of charactes like aizen, ulquiorra, urahara he feels more grounded but thats what i like about him and also he has something different to offer than others character, his self acceptance journey, design and prolly relativity makes him my favourite
In general my top 5 list is 5: Ichigo 4: Ichibei 3: Mayuri 2:Aizen 1:Urahara For this year in particular, mostly in terms of increased popularity, It's the Zero Squad the changes in their clash with Yhwach, especially Senjumaru and her bankai
Nice list. Mine would consist of several captains, but would probably be something like this. #1 Shunsui #2 Byakuya #3 Kenpachi #4 Rukia #5 Mayuri #6 Yamamoto #7 Yoruichi #8 Kisuke #9 Barragan #10 Grimmjow
My top ten right now (or even forever?) 10. Kisuke urahara 9. Yamamoto 8. Askin nakk le vaar 7. Oh-etsu neimaya 6. Hitsugaya toshiro 5. Retsu unohana (yachiro) 4. Shunsui kyoraku 3. Yhwach 2. Byakuya kuchiki 1. And for sure, the best of the best... The best waifu in bleach and overall... The most underrated woman... it's the exploding queen... Bambietta basterbine! Honorable mention 1. Don kanonji, 2. Ās nōdt, 3. Jugram haschwalth, 3. Grimmjoe, 4. Shuhei hisagi, 5. Coyote stark And that's it🌚
Happy New Year everyone! Thanks again for all of the support in 2023 - I hope everyone's had a great year, and I'm excited to see what's in store for Bleach in 2024. Let me know your favourite characters down in the comments!
Happy new year man! My list would probably be:
1. Uryu Ishida
2. Orihime Inoue
3. Renji Abarai
4. Mayuri Kurotsuchi
5. Nemu Kurotsuchi
6. Jugram Haschwalth
7. Byakuya Kuchiki
8. Ichigo Kurosaki
9. Ryuken Ishida

Question for you, MrTommo - would Byakuya have ranked higher on your list if he had died in TYBW?

Of course Aizen got number One. All according to his plan.
He and Chair-Sama are just bidding their time.

The fact that so many villains made it onto this list shows how impactful Kubo’s bad guys are.

@@annhenriques3520byakyua had the best character development in bleach and you don't have him in top 10 means your list is worthless
@@Vincenzo_cassanno no, it means you don’t understand the concept of different people having varying preferences.

_15 Honorable Mentions (not really in any order) to Round Out a Top 25:_ Zaraki, Bazz-B, Ulquiorra, Hisagi, Tsukishima, Yoruichi, Tosen, Yhwach, Senjumaru, Isshin, Ryuken, Izuru, Yamamoto, Orihime, Byakuya.
how can you not have ichigo in a top 25???
damn toshiro didn't make it
@@travisluvrukia Yeah, Ichigo should have been in my honorable mentions. Not sure how I missed him lol.
@tekenadave4270 That one is intentional. Hitsugaya is one of my least favorite major characters.
Thank God for Kubo & thank God for Bleach! I’m so grateful to have witnessed such an amazing and beautiful story
1.) Shunsui Kyōraku
2.) Äs Nödt
3.) Coyote Starrk
4.) Mayuri Kurotsuchi
5.) Genryūsai Shigekuni Yamamoto
6.) Keigo Asano
7.) Quilge Opie
8.) Lille Barro
9.) Baraggan Louisenbairn
10.) Kisuke Urahara
Great list! Glad to see Rukia climbing the ranks! It's a bit odd Ichigo didn't make it on here, guessing it's fatigue since he's the one most on screen that we know most about? When it comes to Aizen, i would very much like a backstory. Feels like i don't get where his motivation comes from or what exactly it is he wants to change about the system or why. While he is cool and does move the plot, i just don't resonate with his character. There's too much we don't know about him imo. Anyway, this is my top 10:
10. Aizen
9. Grimmjow
8. Kenpachi
7. Renji
6. Byakuya
5. Ulquiorra
4. Mayuri
3. Rukia
2. Ichigo
1. Kisuke
Honerable mentions:
Uryu, Toshiro, Komamura,
People are underestimating kubo's writing of a backstory, if aizen does get a backstory, it won't ruin his character, especially since kubo mentioned that he prefers consistent evil villains, I bet if aizen gets a backstory, it won't be sad, young aizen was most likely evil from the jump, which makes him even better in my opinion 😂😂
this right here, if aizen does get a backstory in the anime as extra content or even in the hell arc, i am just hoping kubo keeps it consistent, giving aizen a sad backstory would ruin his character, but giving him a backstory that is consistent with the way he is now basically pure evil, would make aizen even more goated than he already is
Exactly
True😊
No offense to aizen, but if the novels get adapted, tokinada about to take the throne as the best villain in bleach
@@lxx2103nah he a bum
God bless you. Merry Christmas and happy new year
Here’s to a great 2024!
I love Bleach so much! It really makes me happier.
my top 10:
Ichigo, Shunsui, Aizen, Kisuke, Ulquiorra, Rukia, Toshiro, Genryuusai, Kenpachi Zaraki and Chad
It’s been another amazing year for Bleach! After the OG anime ending I’ve still loved Bleach but was never part of the community. This year I finally joined Bleach communities and Bleach RUclipsrs finally sparked my love of Bleach again right before Cour 2 aired. So thank you for all the community and content this and many other years!
Thank you for all your content Tommo ❤️ Keep it up!
Love all the bleach content. Love your channel, bud. My favorites have always been Uryu Ishida, Shinji Hirako, Hisagi and Gin. I also have a soft spot for those losers the Fullbring!
Pretty good darn list
1. Aizen
2. Ichigo

Bleach being the only one of the big three anime that you can leave off the MC in a best character list and it makes sense
I also find it interesting that in the postwar era, Kisuke has contributed to Soul Society's gradual change by having his tech become available as purchasable products including radio and TV. The spread of information certainly has contributed, and all of this coming from someone who once literally killed to keep a stagnant status quo intact while his inventions only benefited a few.
1.Shunsui
2.Ichigo
3.Aizen
4.Hisagi
5.Kisuke
Kisuke Urahara is my favorite and Happy New Year MrTommo2304!
Happy new years! I can’t wait for cour 3!!!
I really hope they don't remove any more of Askin's convos from the anime, 'cause I do agree that he is pretty good
Yes, they essentially summarize the key philosophical core at the heart of the conflict.
My top 6 are Shunsui, Aizen, Ichigo, Ulquiora, Urahara and Tsukishima, in that order. Cool to see the overlap in our lists
You made apretty good list that I can't really argue with.
So glad I found your channel! Since I have been watching and rewatching your videos, Bleach has moved up to my 2nd favorite anime. Keep up the AMAZING BLEACH CONTENT!
My favorites in no order: Ichigo, Orihime, Shunsui, Gin, Tosen, Ulquiorra, Rukia, Byakuya, Kenpachi, and Senjumaru
I would like to see you rank the Espada yourself from weakest to strongest. This was a fantastic video, have an amazing New Year!
Glad to see shunsui in 2nd. I love him so much, he is my favourite by far.

Person who doesn't have Urahara in his top 5 list, isn't real Bleach fan.
I mean, there's so many good characters so I don't blame him
@@rukiastopfanmy exact thoughts, there are too many characters that are good. Urahara not being in my top 5 doesn't mean I don't like him

🐐Captain liest🐐
Ichi and Yamamoto from special liest😏
Thank you for all your videos this year, they have been so entertaining and well thought out.
They have been a very welcome distraction in 2023.
Tbh the idea of Kokujo Tengen-Mioh against Gerard is very wonderful for me but asides for that, he's role in the whole, with and against Tosen and even in TYBW was so memorable.
I love Senjumaru, especially now Ichibe, Stark and Nimiya cause of his most badass scene wiping the whole shutstoffel in 1 hit. Goat
My top 10 would be following: 1. Grimmjow 2. Yoruichi 3. Ichigo 4. Hitsugaya 5. Ulquiorra 6. Halibel 7. Aizen 8. Urahara 9. Bambietta 10. Kenpachi. But damm is rhe cast of Bleach awesome.
Rukia will always be one of my favorite characters, but I do wish Kubo stuck with her TYBW design (the short hair and Ōken Clothing). The earmuffs and visor aren't practical, but it looks amazing on her and really elevates her character design.
Idk if anyone actually notices it but I love the subtle lofi music playing in the background.

2. Urahara
3. Aizen
4. Shinji
5. Ichigo

Honrable metions: Yhwach, Rukia, Senjumaru, Hisugaya, Kenpachi, Isshin, Uruyu
Bleach has such a great cast it's hard to pick just 10
Happy New Year from Brazil 🇧🇷
great video would be awesome if you did a "Top 13 Strongest Characters in Bleach"
Yow happy newyear tommo!
For a guy who works from home, you were sick a lot this year 😂, But thanks for all the content and entertainment buddy, have a good New Year
0. Nnoitra (can't lie about me just loving stubborn scumbags like him)
1. Chad (do I really need to say anything?)
2. Kon (it's really a shame that the fact of what a good person he is gets overshadowed by gags even in the manga itself)
3. Szayelaporro
4. Gin
5. Grimmjow
6. Tosen
7. Unohana
8. Keigo (another underrated good guy)
9. Inoue Sora (Orihime's brother)
10. Edrad Lioness (Grimmjow Fraccion who fought Bankai Ikkaku)
Honorable mentions: Mayuri, Tsukishima, Don Kanonji(him appearing to fight Aizen was the single most emotional moment for me. Seeing an underdog like him at such a late state of the story... I couldn't hold my tears), Quilge Opie, Liltotto, Lilynette, Wonderweiss
I like seeing the different listing that doesn't have Aizen.
It's like people feel they must include him but I get it.
@@babytoshiro7014 I actually really disliked Aizen after his Deicide performance, through grown to like him again after TYBW
Happy new year Tom!🎉 I'm legitimately happy that you exist!
Gin is the goat for life idc what anyone does in tybw
There is a vast amount of characters that I like that its always been hard to fit many in just a few spots.

Honorable mention to Commander Yamamoto for being the most badass old man.
I love you and your videos so very much! I find the background music on this and the toshiro video a tad distracting personally but it won't stop me from watching by any means
I love watching your videos since you love Askin almost as much as me hahaha I'm so happy to see him being appreciated!

Your videos butter My biscuits thank you
Happy New year bro
5 Favorite Characters (no order). 1. Askin 2. Hisagi 3. Tosen 4. Aizen 5. Ichigo
I really love all of them, I think if I had to make a list right now it would be something like this
1. Aizen
2. As Nodt
3. Senjumaru (The anime has done so much for her)
4. Ulqiourra
5. Urahara
6. Byakuya
7. Shunsui
8. Yhwach
9. Tsukishima
10. Uryu (The anime has expanded on his role so much)
Even this list is very questionable to me
still don't get what is this hype around As Nodt he seemed like some other sternritter to me
Tsukishima was really interesting.
Nice list
Happy new years all thank you for all the great videos!
Kisuke, Shinji and Toshiro are tied at number one for me.
18:16 I just realized that Askin with sunglasses is literally Tyler Durden
I wpuld watch your personal ranking of your favorites for every character in the series. You could divide it in a couple of vids and run a supercut at the end. Another good one would be ranking each character per arc.
my fave is probably the Grand Fisher. the first antagonist and yet engrained deep in the memories of every bleach reader. the beginning of horror of the supernatural and unknowns. so pivotal to the mysteries and growth of the protagonist and his close ones.
for me here are my top ten
10: Aizen
9: Hashwalth
8: Rukia
7: As Nodt
6: Nel
5: Askin
4: Yourichi
3: Uyru
2: Uharara
1: Shunsui
Honorable mentions are in no particular order: Senjumaru, Yuyu Yayahara, Starkk, hallibell, Komomoro
No ichigo ?
Happy New Year Tommo!
On the topic of As Nodt and Askin, I would have loved if Kubo put them together as a duo, since I think they'd work pretty well as villainous foils to each other. Askin is outwardly goofy but inwardly calculating and analytical, while As Nodt is outwardly calm and composed, but inwardly he is pretty much insane. I feel like it would have done a lot for both of them as characters, but especially As Nodt. Plus, the two are my two favorite Sternitter, it would have been great to see them interact and play off each other.
Grimmjow Jaegerjaquez
Shuhei Hisagi
Shunsui Kyōraku
Coyote Starrk
Chad
Ikaku Madarame
Yoruichi Shihouin
Kensei Muguruma
Sosuke Aizen
Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck
I could easily replace some of these characters with Ginjo, Kaname, Barragan, Gin, Askin, Bazz-B, or Urahara. Which is a real credit to Kubo for creating so many amazing characters.
Love your vids keep em coming! And happy new year
My top 5
1. Aizen
2. Mayuri
3. Byakuya
4. Zaraki
5. Grimmjow
Would be neat to see what your favorite minor, or limited appearance characters are. For me in that, I think Hanataro would be mine. Especially his shikai, it's so unique.
My top ten in no particular order.
Aizen, Ichigo, grimmjow, Ulquiorra, Rukia, Oriheme, Yorichi, bazz B, Kenpachi, and Chad
A good meme answer would have been robert, since the community loved seeing your reactions to him
Gin and Byakuya on the list and that's all I need. Good list 😁😁
MC catching strays lol I was looking for him !
My favorites in rough order are Sunsui, Yoruichi, Urahara, Tatsuki, Ichigo, and Rukia.
1. Yamamoto; who else could it be other than Mr. #1. I love sage characters and there is no greater character of this trope than he.
2. Kyoraku. The sunflower samurai; shrewd and every bit as elusive as the namesake. Dope look at what is basically the only guy who embodies an oldschool samurai, inwardly and outwardly.
3. Barragan. Same as Yama, but with the added benefit of having perhaps my all time favorite power: time control.
4-5. Kurotsuchi and Zaraki. Hard to choose between the two. Great designs, great character development flaws and all. Both stars and like Tommo said both could have been war potentials.
6. Komamura. Yamamoto lite - in mindset, not power, obviously. Great design, number, backstory, zanpakuto, all of it. Shame he is, indeed an absolute joke in this series.
7. Soifon. Again, like Komamura she's reminiscent of Yama in mindset. Great design, one of my absolute favorites. She's adorable and likely a closet tsundere, which adds to her appeal.
9. Ichibei. Yamamoto's uncle. Not at all reminiscent of Yama in mindset, but does have much of the same sagey goodness and even more (!) OP.
10. Aizen. Captain Aizen that is. He was nice AF. When he disintegrated that huge hollow with Ichimaru as his lieutenant back in the day...yeah I knew he was him.
For the most part, 1-5 are set for me. The rest is debatable as far as position, but not composition.
I never found any of the quincies interesting, other than maybe a true one like Ryuuken.
Same with the Fullbring whom I feel were the least interesting group concept since the Bounts despite or (in spite of) being canon.
dear tommo, the music in the backgroud is slightly too loud. maybe next time you could tone it down! lovely video as usual though! best
It really is amazing how good Kubo is with characters. How many other manga are there where another person could make a top ten out of entirely different characters and you would go... you know what that is fair? Those are all believably top 10 characters.
Let's not forget about Hollow Ichigo
I dont know why but ichigo doesnt seem to be appealing and interseting characters to most , i'll admit that in front of charactes like aizen, ulquiorra, urahara he feels more grounded but thats what i like about him and also he has something different to offer than others character, his self acceptance journey, design and prolly relativity makes him my favourite
In general my top 5 list is
5: Ichigo
4: Ichibei
3: Mayuri
2:Aizen
1:Urahara
For this year in particular, mostly in terms of increased popularity, It's the Zero Squad the changes in their clash with Yhwach, especially Senjumaru and her bankai
why ichibei ?
@@tekenadave4270 His kinda meta powerset and being tied to the history of lore almost immediately won me over.
@@rmeddy valid point just sad I've been scrolling around have seen Toshiro in any top 10 what do u think

Ulquiorra is the 🐐. I wonder how he’d scale to sternritter like bambietta, cang, or as nodt
