Tessai Tsukabishi is a fascinating character in Bleach, yet he spends almost all of his very limited screen time in the background. That makes him the perfect character to kickstart our newest series, Bleach: Forgotten Characters! Let me know who else you'd like to see discussed as a 'forgotten character', and enjoy this deep-dive look into Bleach's most fearsome Kido master!

What other 'forgotten characters' would you like to see discussed? Let me know, and let me know what you thought of Tessai and his Kido prowess too!
Don Kanonji. But I think he wouldn't call himself forgotten :D
Not sure if she counts, but maybe Tatsuki would be a good pick. Her friendships with Ichigo and Orihime were really cool, and she felt like she was set up to have a big role later in the story because of her already knowing how to fight and wanting to protect Orihime. But after the introduction arc, she just kinda does nothing in the series (except that one really good scene in the Arrancar arc when she smashes Ichigo against a window). There were many opportunities to add her into the main group, but she just never joined, it was pretty disappointing for a character with so much potential
I wouldnt call ikkaku forgotten,but in the tybw,he barely uses his bankai,along with other caracters like hisagi,Chad,the vizards
Iba Tetsuzaemon
Kukaku! Please lol
In Cant Fear Your Own World, Hisagi has a conversation with Tessai and Hisagi calls him Kido Commander. Im glad someone in Soul Society is aware of Tessai.
So at least he was mentioned in the Novel Story arc. Maybe he was reinstated as the Kido Commander again or knows Shuhei just knows him as that.
Last time we saw Tessai he was in the Fullbringer Arc but very briefly.
He wasn’t even present in the Thousand Year Blood War Arc.
I wish he had fought at Aizen
@thehunter5607 Its weird to me how kubo sidelined hachi and tessai during the aizen fight i wonder why
It amazes me that Tommo can spend 25 minutes talking about a character that Kubo spent less than 25 minutes even thinking about. Gotta respect the tenacity.
oof
Tekking101 could easily make this into an hour plus discussion
@@loganhayse8771 I was thinking that same thing as soon as I saw this post
@@loganhayse8771 i think he has
@@loganhayse8771 I mean, half of it would be tangents though. 😂 I love the guy’s videos though
I think the reason we don’t see Tessai involved with the Soul Society the way Kisuke Urahara is after Fake Karakura Town, is because he is still considered a criminal. Kisuke was framed and actually didn’t commit the crimes he was found guilty of, where Tessai actually did use the forbidden spells.
This is actually an excellent point-out , very well deducted!
Possibly, and this is a good point. But Yoruichi was known to have committed a treasonous act by busting them out if their 'trial' at Central 46 and she is seemingly a-ok now. I feel as though the new post Aizen betrayal context would forgive his crimes.
@@kylejoly577 Yoruichi is actually the head of the Shouin clan, one of the four nobles, according to CFYOW novel, I don't think that even the Central 46 can "judge" the nobles let alone a noble clan head
@@catbuikhang6482 I might be wrong but the nobles can be judged. The central 46 is the highest power in soul society, the nobles just have a very high influence but they arent above the central.
@@rohitramkumar5525 Again it's been ages since the last time I watched/read Bleach so I might be wrong aswell and you are actually right! Rukia was adopted to the nobles and she did get judged even death by Central 46 in the SS Arc, but then again, we are talking about a clan Head, I mean sure the courts can sue the President but they shouldn't be doing that right?
I know it isn’t stated anywhere but I’m pretty certain that Tessai played a significant role in helping Kisuke develop the seal used to end the fight against Aizen. In fact, I’m of the opinion that Kisuke’s research and experiments were only able to go as far as they did because Tessai was supporting him. Kisuke’s brilliant mind and curiosity alongside Tessai’s mastery of kido is such a perfect combination for innovation
that indeed might be the case but Kisuke is also a kido master of course not to Tessai level but he’s shown his mastery against Aizen you know…
This is a good take.
@@joeycognition8824 maybe because he has a excellent master ya? Pretty sure he learns all his kido from tessai.
I like this idea a lot, if it were mentioned by Urahara or something that would have been awesome
As amazing as Hachi is
THIS GUY WAS HIS CAPTAIN
Bruh when Tessai did that space time kido to the Vizards and said to Urahara close your eyes and shut your ears i was HYPED. Such a shame that he was so forgotten
Finally someone talking about Tessai san. He really is forgotten when he was the one to save the vizards and the one who used 2 forbidden spells and helped Kisuke in many ways. And Hachi was weaker than him but still did more than anyone.
Simple explanation: kubo was sick and forgot about him.
@@out_of_orbit1968 that is an explanation but not a correct one. Just because Kubo was sick doesnt mean he forgot about Tessai. Because Tessai is shown a lot. But only for comedy or going somewhere with Kisuke. He helped Ichigo at first. But i mean he was a captain before Kisuke so why? I bet that Tessai taught Kisuke about the kido spells over level 90. Yes Kisuke is smart but when it comes to kido he is not smarter than Tessai who was the one to actually save the vizards and no one even mentioned him. Shinji said that he is a friend of Ichigo and he owns Kisuke but Tessai saved them. You cant forget a character who still shows up every now and then for comedy like giving Kisuke pills. More than forgotten as a character he is forgotten as a captain of kido corps. Do they even have one now? He is just there like don kanonji. Hachi who was under Tessai did more than him. So not forgotten as a character like Ashido Kano for example. Forgotten as a captain forgotten as a kido master and the one who saved the vizards
@@jurgenzaka4957 Tessai wasn't even there during fight with aizen when urahara fought, he was a interesting character but kubo simply forgot about him since I don't believe he was sick or that sick writing the aizen arc
@@michaelpham2953 yes he wasnt and im mad about it. Thats why i say he is forgotten. Hachi was under him in rank and he did more than Tessai and the vizards. But Kisuke didnt invent those kido on the spot so he must have had help from Tessai who was a master in kido as he was the captain of the kido corps.
Tessai is massively underrated and underutilized. My biggest gripe has always been how he wasn't involved in the fight with Aizen at all in Fake Karakura Town. Like everyone involved in TBTP arc is there, ready to confront Aizen except Tessai.
What makes it even sadder is that he doesn't even get mentioned. I'd feel a little better about it if Urahara dropped a line about him "Staying Back to watch the shop/Protect Ururu and Jinta" but we don't even get that.
It's my personal headcanon that the kido that Urahara used to seal Aizen after his fight with Ichigo was developed by Tessai himself and not Urahara. Because I really just want Tessai to be involved in some capacity.
Yes i think tessi taught him absolutely
Forgotten characters I'd say Kukkaku Shiba. She appears about two times. Though in her defense she did do some big things like sending Ichigo into the Seireitei
Also speaking of Kido, what are you favorite Kido Spells? Both named and unnamed, unnamed examples being like how Kaname teleported Renji and Rukia back to the execution hill. Maybe even do a top 10 Kido
Makes me wonder if they ever found out if Ichigo is part of their family through Issin being his father
I feel like she got replaced by Yoruichi. They’re both tough, older women who are almost like a mentor to the group. There’s a lot of differences if you go deeper than that, but I’ve always felt that the reason Kukkaku didn’t show up that much later was because of her similarities with Yoruichi
@@lordhades598 I am pretty sure that on some point of manga or one of novels, she got that information.
@@lordhades598 Ichigo was the spitting image of their brother with different colored hair where as she is looks like a grown up version of Ichigo's sister
@@SB-jn8cw yeah but does Kukkaku know that Ichigo is Issin's son were they ever informed. That could just be a coincidence. I mean they say we all have a double out there somewhere but it doesn't mean we're related.lol
Tessai and Hachi not having some sort of moment in the Fake Karakura Town is a bummer when you consider the potential of the former Captain and Vice Captain of the Kido corp teaming up. Also, it must have been a blow to lose both of their corp leaders in one night, and I’m curious how well they recovered.
Jacob Clay Agreed. It was a missed opportunity. But then again, I find that the Fake Karakura arc, while having some good moments, is an utter mess of an arc. But having those two reunite, especially given Lisa and Shinsui had a brief reunion, does suck.
@@Avarn388 Utter mess is an understatement. It's one of the worst examples of a wanked villain and constant contrivances that I can think of in shōnen. Aizen was on some Naraku shit in that arc - and that is *not* a compliment.
@@kevinb5417 Yeah, sadly I have to agree. the power escalation in that arc got really stupid and as much as I love Bleach(flaws and all) but how Kubo treated Aizen during the arc was disappointing. He hyped up his Zapaktou and told us Ichigo was the solution only for the Hogyoko to happen and then final Getsuga Tensou. And worse, barely any backstory mentioned in the anime outside him having created one in the past and that he's after the soul king. It's why nuclear take, I honestly found Tsukishima/ Ginjou a lot better as villains overall. While it sucked that Ginjou's backstory was shorted, at least I could buy his strength and cunning and his motivations for going after Ichigo and Soul Society were relatable. Taking inspiration from Sensui from YYH, but that's not a bad thing. Overall, I like Aizen but he's very overrated as a villain.
@@Avarn388 Damn. I was with you until you said Ginjou was the better overall villain. I firmly believe the Fullbring Arc is absolute dog shit, and the worst part of the series by a country mile. And Ginjou being a terrible villain is a big part of that. Tsukushima was much more compelling in my opinion. But on the subject of powercreep within Fake Karakura, I couldn't agree more. It doesn't even make sense within the context of what the series presents. The Vizard are the perfect example of that - especially Kensei but I've ranted more than enough about how that character is done dirty throughout the entire series.
@@kevinb5417 Let me offer a bit of clarification: I was praising Ginjou's character in relation to Aizen as I find he's a lot more consistent than he is if we are comparing Fake karakura to Fullbring. That said, I never once admitted to saying Fullbring was a good arc. On the contrary, i found it mediocre. It was Kubo trying to do a love letter to chapter black from Yu Yu Hakusho and not getting it. And Ginjou I was simply comparing him to Aizen in terms of how similar they were as a master manipulator, threat potential etc. I do agree with you that Tsukishima was a better villain than Ginjou in terms of having more to him. Plus, his fight against Byakuya was fantastic.
Tessai was always one of those characters I wish I would've seen more of. Loved his design, he's physically imposing, and I loved the part of the story when he and Urahara saw Aizens experiments of hollowfication and shot that MASSIVE kido ad Aizen and Aizen blocked it with no sweat. We had never seen such a massive Kido, only for it to get blocked with an ever better Kido! Tessai has lost potential, hopefully they work him into the new stuff lol.
This is a series I can get behind. With Bleach everyone has kind of talked in circles about mostly the main factions and their abilities. It's refreshing to bring these characters into the spotlight!
I guess he wasn't technically "forgotten", but I still would have really wanted to see more of Ryuken Ishida in the final arc centered around Quincy.
True
Yeah I didnt get his lack of involvement at all.
The dads really are underused
Kido in general was forgotten in the series. Would’ve loved to see the Kido Corps and Tessai, Hachi and Isane with the Fourth Division learn Kaido and other Kido from Kirinji and the Royal Guard.
Honestly, the kido corp could’ve easily been an actual division within the thirteen core squads. Seeing more technical based shinigami in the modern day would’ve been awesome!
Yeah Kubo could’ve easily made one of the existing less popular squads a kido based one just to spice it up
@@hatefulgaming1800 That’s what I’m getting at. He could’ve made the kido corp one of the existing squads. Sorry, I should have worded that better
watching/commenting very late here... but yeah, I was about the say the same...
They could have even given Momo something to do other than be a complete liability
I think the soul society banned the Kido corp. The captain was a criminal while VC was hollowfied. And as the video suggests the powers as well as the scope and nature of kido corp was far more elusive of Court guards dominion. From their perspective it was a problem division which lacked control. So they must've banned it.
Or maybe Kido corp was founded and managed by Tessai and Hagi and their exile led to simply being the death of the kido corpn.
Seeing Hachi's amazing showing against Baraggan, it really makes me sad that Tessai was never given a proper fight in Bleach, I bet he could have shown off some absolutely incredible abilities and never-before seen Kido.
I actually think "Forgotten Characters" are not a bad thing in a series. It adds so much depth and interest to a series. Sure it's a shame that we didn't see more of them but showing that bredth and depth of the world without necessarily needing to touch on it. Kubo has built such an amazing world with so much to it, known and unknown, that makes it feel so real amd well realized. Even if the story misses some stuff.
I think that's fine, but not for someone who was once important to Soul Society.
@@TheSlammurai Why? Sometimes characters exist just to add to the world. Sure Tessai could have been used more but I don't know if it would have added to the story outside of more cool fights. Which while neat aren't end all be all.
@@Blade12113 I get what you're saying, I do, but I prefer set ups and pay offs.
@@TheSlammurai I mean I totally get it. Also... Is that a TWEWY reference in your name?
@@Blade12113 Absolutely. That was supposed to be my wrestling name back when I was in high school. It seemed perfect to me.
Ah, imagine if Tessai showed up to save Kisuke from Askin's final gift.
I feel like Ryuken Ishida is a fearly forgotten character
Dude, even Uryuu is forgotten in the TYBW
I would've loved to see more of Tessai and Hachi both. Everyone fawns over the various Zanpakuto in Bleach (for very obvious reasons, they're amazing) but I really wish we'd gotten to see more times where a Kido master just cuts loose and starts slinging spells.
Tatsuki Arisawa always felt like the forgotten female friend that could have been one of the crew if she was given power instead of slight spiritual awareness.
Tessai was a frustrating character for me. Especially because it is so easy to fix almost everything about him. For example, when Karakura Town was teleported by the four pillars, Kubo could've had him sitting in the middle of Karakura and be the one who is essentially keeping the spell up. For one thing, it would be a payoff of him using the teleportation Kido in Tbtp, and on the other hand it would be a MASSIVE feat of power; Kubo could've written that in this 100 years, Tessai was honing his Kido spells in preparation to face Aizen again. Hell, he could've been the one figuring out that Aizen was trying to create the Oukagi waaay back, that would require a lot of change to other aspects of the story as well, but it would be massive improvement for his character and even improve Kisuke even further.
So then the battle of the four pillars would be more of a battle for Tessai as the vice-captains protect him. And then the Menos that were called in later would be more threatening, since Tessai is in deep concentration to hold the spell and can't defend himself. I'm just spitballing here, but that would already improve him so much.
By the way, i really like the idea of making this a new format. Since Kubo is generally really good at writing his characters in a somewhat satisfying way, it points out the few times he kinda messed up. Also i would like to give my take on improving all of the stuff surrounding the characters in the comments like i did with Tessai.
I really wish they did more with him, and showed off the kido corps more later on.
💙
sounds like Tsukishima used book of the end on Kubo
To me Tessai is broken, I mean, his abilities are. He can actually stop time and warp reality just by weaving some hand signs. Where to fit a character like him in the story? How?
I do agree, like how would you stop some one like that? I think if Tessai and Unohana would have been able to join the fight in Katakura Town, omg!
bro should have fought in the shinobi war vs madara with them hand signs
I'm a die-hard Bleach fan, and I totally forgot about this dude. Chojiro Sasakibe might be another good one to do next time.
I've always liked this character. Ururu and Jinta were also pretty interesting. Hopefully we see more of them in the Hell arc.
Kido, the most underused shinigami skill. Kubo just had so many people and so many powers and not enough time to expound on them. Wonder what Tessai’s zanpakuto was?
I think the problem with Kido was that most units dont use it and Kido were shown less with the more importance given to Bankai or showcase of a new ability that Zanpakuto can have.
He might not have a Zanpakuto. Since he is in the Kido Corp and the Kido Corp doesnt seem to like the other squads. It's possible that they could use mainly Kido. Like how some RPGS, you have Mages creating offensive spells, defensive spells, support spell and debuff spells. And if Yoruichi can abandon her Zanpakuto to focus better on her style and Nanao's special condition with her Zanpakuto. Maybe Tessai could one of those options.
Tessai and the kids working at Urahara’s candy shop had always had my curiosity as to who they were and why they are with Urahara. Especially the children and how they were so strong.
Brilliant idea. Tessai deserve more love, especially because he was there for Urahara in the time of his exile, giving him all the support he needed after he lost so much. He is so underrated.
I would love it if you would eventually at some point talk about Karin and Yuzu and their untapped potential as I feel like they became forgotten characters towards the end of the series especially when it seemed like Karin was becoming a Substitute Shinigami herself + I would’ve loved seeing both sisters in action with Karin using a Zanpakuto and maybe Yuzu unlocking Quincy powers both reflecting their parents union :)
Also as a side note if we ever get a full series of Burn The Witch it would be great to see the Kurosaki sisters reappear in that 🙏🏻
Also Ashido was a good character to develop. They could have something more with him in TYBW. Kuukaku too
really like the idea for this series, hope it continues, great content as always.
Another quality video. Thank you! I always wanted more Tessai!!!
Love that you are doing this as a series! I always wished we got more Tessai!
So happy you did this video. Tessai is one of my favorite characters and I was always disappointed he didn't have a bigger role.
You're easily the best Bleach content creator imo, and my favorite as well. The video ideas are really interesting and very well done as well. I've been subscribed for a while now. I wish with the return of the anime more people would be interested in bleach and dig for content on YT and find you. And i ABSOLUTELY agree with your statement on incredibly interesting, hooking ideas being introduced and then go.no where, even though non of these concepts went anywhere, i loved them. And this is one if the many reasons why i am still bleach, you just can't find such hooking concepts these days, it's actually crazy.
I always wanted to see more of the Kido corp, considering how OP were Tesai and Hachi.
This is a very interesting start to a new series! I'd love to see more like these starting with the rest of the Urahara shop characters. Ururu had a moment where she went blank and attacked one of Grimmjow's fraccion and then had nothing comes up after that ;-;
I really enjoy the video! Another title name I like that I thought of would be
Bleach discussion: we do knot forget you
I gotta point out the power of the Urahara, Tessai, and Yoruichi in this video is astounding. All three of them used powers well above others powers that you know when they busted out, it was an impossible odd to meet for any other group with that power behind Seiraite. My girl, flash goddes Yorichi, saved their asses in a flash, nearly skipping time herself. No one could CATCH her in the time that she spent flashing through the guards at the court carrying two people. Wish I got how powerful Tessai was back then but they left him out SO MUCH. Like, why wasn't he battling in Fake Karakura Town arc? He would have made the odds a WHOLE LOT BETTER.
Nice man! This seems like an awesome new series since bleach had so many interesting characters but not enough time to use them.
Dude we've needed this for years lol
Great content!
Using 90s bakudo on ichigo just to manage his hollowfication. Yea him n Kisuke definitely knew whose kid this was..awesome video
Great idea for a series. I'd love to see more.
Maybe with Kazui opening up the portal to hell, we may see more of Tessai. I'm sure opening a hell portal is a forbidden technique that Tessai is privy to.
Kido was so unexplored in Bleach, the fact that Tessai's former lieutenant was able to take on Barragan (Espada Number Freaking 2) is crazy.
Wow such a fantastic break down. It would be great to see a Video on Ashido Kano.
The Forgotten Guardian.
Tessai is so forgotten than even his ex-unit - The Kido Korps - wasn't mentioned in the series after The Turn Back the Pendulum Arc.
Not only is Tessai forgotten, Kido itself is vastly underutilized in the series as it goes on.
I love that you're discussing my favorite organization within the Soul Society and one of my characters. I totally agree with you. Again wasted character who could've had a role within the final arch.
I wanted to know more about him, and actually see him joining the fight as one of the strongest Kido master, but that just never happened.
I also always wanted to see the Kido Corp, as Kido was always one of the aspects in Bleach I was very interested in.
But also answering a bigger question: if you kill a Hollow with Kido, is their soul "purified"?
You would think if the kido corp exists that they ensured that any Kido they use is specialized for purifying hollows as well.
with perhaps the exception of some non authorized/forbidden Kido.
Its an aspect of the Soul Society I really wish we knew more about.
YAYYYYYY A NEW Video!! Amazing
Great video
Keep it coming! Let's go for the 100K subs go go go!!
Great introduction, great content
Remember the Kido Corps that Tessia and Haci led? Where were they during the TTYBW arc?
This is SO AWESOME since I've always been fascinated by the Kidou Corps! Thank you SO MUCH for shedding light on a figure of this mysterious division!! Please cover Ushouda Hachigen as part of this Forgotten Character series!!! I wonder how the Kidou Corps feel about Bleach characters using high level Kidou? I wonder if the Kidou Division govern usage of Kidou in the Bleach Universe? Do they punish users of forbidden Kidou? Can they set limitations on the flow of Kidou between the various worlds? Bah, too many questions
Does the Kidou Division have any role in the TYBW Arc?
I love these videos. I always look forward to hearing the words “eldritch abomination”.
Tessai and maybe Kukaku as well should have joined Urahara Yoruichi and Ishhin in their fight against Aizen
The sisters of Ichigo. They should have the same potential than Ichigo but can not even fight a little bit. I know Ichigo do not want them to fight but at least the older sister could awaken her shinigami power, at the time Aizen comes to the town.
Introducing amazing and unique characters only to never do anything with them worth mentioning in the rest of the story should be dubbed The Kubo Effect.
I have been thinking about this a lot recently.
He's a pretty tough guy especially for the captain level who is a grandmaster Kido. Shame that we haven't seen him finishing Espada or fighting with Quincy later on.
I always wished the Kido Corps and Kido Captain was a thing again. So much cool potential.
Finally someone highlighted Tessai!! He's like the Captain of the Kido Corps. He was known as commander and was such a waste of potiential. I thought he would of shined with his lieutenant if they trained Orihime. Since her power is Kido based and beyond event, God. The most powerful power in Bleach. At least take part in the fight against Aizen and the Arrancar. I'm sooo happy you made this video!! A video on his lieutenant should be next.
tessai should have been the one to cast aizens binding kido.
would have made more sense.
I'm sure he helped kisuke for that
@@gamer-1660 agreed, i just mean it would have been more fitting and given him something to do is all
Thematically, I think it had to be kisuke who ultimately defeated aizen
If anyone deserves a Machine Society steampunk concept for BBS, it’s Tessai. I would absolutely LOVE to see him reimagined as a Victorian Era Vampire Hunter with a crucifix on one hand and a Kido-throwing rifle on the other hand. Make it happen, KLab!
It always seemed so weird to me that if Tessai was a Captain level fighter with the ability to use Kidō with the destructive potential of a Captain bankai, then why did he never fucking do anything. Could have totally seen him cast some forbidden Kidō and shrek some quincies with it in the TYBWA but he didnt even get a mention. Like wtf
I think he was above captain level, seeing as how Shunsui and Ukitake spoke of him. Also it’d be safe to assume that although kisuke is smart and talented, clearly Tessai is the one behind his kido brilliance.
Also, considering Hachi can use Bakudo 99 too and with ease (without incantation) it’s safe to assume Hachi is Atleast captain lvl and since Tessai is his superior, then Tessai is above that. PS. There is forbidden kido and there is hidden kido….wouldn’t be surprised if Tessai can do a ton of hidden kido with how easy regular 1-90s kido is for him. I know you’re not debating but kidos are just too cool. I’m sure Kubo couldn’t find where to fit him because from his first display of power he was already op.
Also, I feel it’d have been more badass if Nanao never got her Zanpaktou(TYBW) and instead returned to the kido corps and became its captain after decades of carrying around that kido book 💀
The potential is strong, pity he never got to really shine other than some moments and his past as Captain of the Kido Corps. Still, his sternly comical and eccentric nature still make memorable and him jumping into battle to save the town is admirable. It's funny how he likes to buy junk advertised on TV much to Kisuke's annoyance.
I guess we can hope for something in the anime or the manga going forward.
I can't be too upset, though. I know how hard it is to keep track of a bunch of stuff going on at once like that.
Tessai should have led the group who confronted Aizen in Karakura town. It would have been interesting to see how Tessai would have done against Aizen.
I wish Kubo explained the origins of Jinta and Ururu. I saw on Reddit that some theorize the two kids as being asauchi or maybe just spiritually aware humans. Can you do a “Forgotten Character” analysis for them?
I'm still wrapping my head around the fact that we saw one of the strongest kido so early on and no one in or out of the story is talking about it.
Would love to see a vid on Ashido Kanō, the forgotten shinigami trapped in Hueco Mundo.
He was a filler character but I think it was a missed opportunity for him to come back and possibly fill a captain spot at the time.
Awesome design and backstory for someone who only appeared in a few episodes…maybe this idea is better for a what if video.
I have a head canon about Tessai that he was the one that made the kido so that Urahara could go against Aizen at 100% and that it took him out of commission for Fake Karakura.
i ignore canon for this
Fair point.
Kukaku is the obvious choice. I would also love Yasochika Iemura. Played such a recurring role in the omakes. Always wanted to know more about him.
I always felt that the central 46's reaction didn't make much sense here, which made me think that Aizen had already killed them and had orchestrated the trial with Kyouka Suigetsu. But that's just me and my speculation
He's so forgotten I forgot his name. The red haired shinigami in the lower part of heucho Mundo. Granted I'm not sure if he was filler or not.
Also I feel like Eba is a forgotten character. My dude never does anything and scores a captains seat just for not dying.
Another based take from you! I think that red-haired guy with the masks was originally filler but was canonized in the novels.
Ganju and hanataro?
I always thought tessai was kool. a "more than meets the eye" character. But what elevated him to absolute badass was that one moment, never forget and thanks to it, my fave kido. "Move aside Urahara-dono, Bakuno 88, Hiryu Gekizoku Shinten Raiho!", the triple panel for that blast...just beastly. It did no damage at the time, but still...badass
Aizen was very strong with kido even at that time
rest in peace on tessai's voice actor Kiyoyuki Yanada🕊️🙏
Please do one in depth on the forgotten character Zennosuke Kurumadani! He had very little screen time was a bit goofy but had actually decent potential.
Okay, Danku really is the best barrier spell a Shinigami can cast. Kidou definitely needed to be explained by Tessai during the Ichigo training arc
Bleach is like the x-men for me. I just love all the characters no matter how small.
❤
Mostly people use Kido in Quincy arc for defense only. The kinda forget that Kido exist. Aizen is the one who actually use Hado 90 and Hado 99. Maybe Kyoka Suigetsu makes people forget that.
We really need a Kido corps spin-off. Either something purely dedicated to it, or it being integrated to a spin-off about the history of the Gotei-13
Or a Oneshot sort of like Burn the Witch
I really wanted to see the origins of kido techniques.
Always loved and respect tessi and of cout he is my favorite characters right hand man
Awesome, he was so cool in the Time Pendulum arc
Bless you my friend- the Kido Core
Would love if you did a dive/comparison into healing/support in Bleach! Watched the whole series for thirst time since I was young and as an adult I always LOVE support classes in DnD and games. Bleach does have a support system especially Orihime and Kido--however the abilities of these (like a lot of the 'magic' system) is hinted at without a lot of screen time. Do any of the expanded works maybe explore this more? The Kido Corps just seemed so cool in concept
Who remembers Tessai sleeping on top of Ichigo XD bruh, that was so hilarious
Looking forward to seeing Chad in a future video
Me to hope he gets a full - Fullbring ( Vasto=Lordo) Hellverses transformation. Or that to much.
Tessai is very underrated. I wished we got more from him as I loved his introduction and learning that this burly, muscular man was head of the Kido corps and liked/ respected Urahara was really cool. In general, I'm a sucker for Kido as a form of Shimigami combat as it allowed for a variety of unique abilities shown that weren't Zapaktou related.
Turn Back the Pendulum is one of my favorite arcs. It's a shame we didn't get more of Tessai. Additionally, Tessai could have been a major asset during the final arc dropping Level 99 Kido like the Boss he is. Oh well.
Omfg thank you for this
I can think of a few characters, for several different reasons, that seemed forgotten. I'll admit I am a Hinamori fan, but she did feel forgotten after the Fake Karakura town arc. But she had been a POV character during the ryoka invasion, her reaction to fighting Aizen in the fake Karakura town battle, and in flashbacks and Hitsugaya's comments, we see a strength we just don't see from her. Another is Akon. I hope that changes after the newest release, but we don't see Akon a lot, and the fact he was raised in the Maggot's Nest and his reaction during the Quincy invasion. And the other I feel is weirdly Isshin. He just seems to disappear a lot or be a goofball, and even after we see him as a captain, he has a few good fights, but it seems like he just got forgotten, even in the epilogue.
Tessai was the Doctor Strange of Bleach, what could've been...
