I've been mulling over this BLEACH idea/theory for a long time. I know it's out there. I know. But, let's have a conversation about it, maybe I was wrong all along. See you in the comment section!!!
I don’t see Luffy as the typical Chosen One such as say Naruto or Aang (not that there’s anything wrong with that) but that the story makes it clear that Luffy isn’t the chosen one but he is simply the one who will inherit will and dreams of Roger and the original JoyBoy. In fact when you think about it Oda actually kinda plays with this idea of being the Chosen One with Ace, he is son of the Pirate King, Roger had a son for the sole reason that his son would be the one to find the One Piece and bring The Dawn,Whitebeard was actually training Ace to be the next Pirate King with his knowledge,everyone in the talks about how great Ace and he is destined for greatness whereas it’s almost the opposite with Luffy, Ace has the Flame Flame which symbolizes the Sun heck his strongest attack managed Flamed Emperor looks like Ace is holding a giant Sun in his hand. Ace is what the typical Chosen One protagonist would be, but instead Ace is the one who dies and now that leaves Luffy the unlikely Chosen One to inherit his will. Hell it took Luffy 10 just master Gum Gum Fruit and a little over 2 years to unlock its true powers, Zoan type Fruits have their own will inside of them unlike other Fruits. So it taking so much time for Luffy to use Nika’s powers means that the fruit itself hadn’t accepted Luffy and was probably waiting to see his worth, think of Enma with Zoro. Luffy isn’t the Chosen One who picked by Fate to be the hero, Luffy himself has no interest in being a hero but everything that he has done in his life through his on sheer will has lead him to being the hero that the world needs to bring The Dawn. Kaido himself says it doesn’t matter how incredible the power of your Devil Fruit is, at the end of it all it is Haki that transcends all.Haki which symbolizes a person’s willpower and self confidence to keep on moving forward. This is Oda telling us that it’s not Luffy’s Fruit that makes him special but Luffy’s own willpower and that it his will that ultimately changes the world not his Devil Fruit power. PS. It very heavily suggested that it was Dragon who saved Luffy with that Lightning Bolt. Yes, there times were “Fate” seems to save Luffy and a few of them who can’t explain or reason as to why they happened but some actually have a reasonable explanation. Honestly the One Piece RUclipsr named Mr Morj does a better job at exploring all this than me. So go check him out.
Man do I love the idea of innocent child kazui being the unknowing villain even without any Yhwach Bach shenanigans inside his soul… But he took somethin from the guy… and he’s not in the blind at birth saving everyone with soulsharing for personal benefit at their deaths… I think a nuanced psychological battle of a confused parent with their kid running around messing with the balance of their universe sounds Perfect for a story around what would otherwise be an epilogue… So many fans who grew up being weekly readers now have kids and I can see using that kind of element in a really novel way compared to making kazui into a boruto or Gohan or more typical son of protagonist narrative… But I love the idea that the biggest challenge is parenting a child with powers equivalent to their strongest villains with god powers… Feels like a nice touch if he handles it that way… But who knows how much the final arc changes in the anime and where it ends.. cause all of us would love the novels and other intended canon narratives getting explored and the epilogue chapter feels like the start of something he’s probably had planned for ages but knows not to reveal cause it’ll be better if he helps manage the anime making it… which who knows If that becomes a lightnovel or manga continuation… But tie it in with Ichigo’s translator work taking him to fighting epic dragons at the Western Branch in Burn the Witch or some kinda crossover explaining things there… So much he can work with and not simply do what everyone expects from shonen battle manga narratives…
Imagine if the climax of bleach is Ichigo needing to choose between fighting against the soul reapers or killing/sacrificing Kazui in order to stop hell. This video is so interesting because I remember a thought crossing my mind that Kazui seems to be a representation of chaos. The powerful (and ironically noble) lineage coming from his dad, the free spirited nature of his mum, his interaction with fate in destroying Ywach's last remnants, and the unbridled potential of a child, and this child in particular. The look on his face at the end of the chapter looked like pure chaotic joy. He definitely seems like the chosen one of fate and I can see him as an existence that probably shouldn't exist by any natural means in a similar way to Ichigo. I can also see a scenario in which soul society discovers that Kazui is the problem and comes to the conclusion that he needs to be eliminated. It's extremely in line with the soul society's M.O. of assessing an individual's danger level, which is directly linked to whether or not they can be controlled. Ichigo is a perfect example of this. In theory, he's the most dangerous character in the show. Not only is he a pseudo-soul king, but his powers seem to revolve around challenging fate itself. That's why he was always being monitored and it shows in the substitute shinigami badge he was given. Despite everything he's done for the soul society, they still wouldn't hesitate in killing him if he sided with Ginjo. The soul society fears anything that they can't control and tries to eliminate it wherever possible. Aizen, too hard to control, too powerful to kill, seal him. Kenpachi, too powerful and unpredictable to control, so don't teach him shikai/bankai. And he only ends up learning shikai and bankai when the pillar of order (Yamamoto) dies, and the new, more chaotic leader (Kyoraku) takes over, which I think in a sense is why Kyoraku is the perfect leader to contend with hell. He's the most willing to take risks by using the unpredictable (Zaraki), or using pieces that are beyond his scope of control (Aizen). But at the same time, I think Kyoraku is still a representation of order when push comes to shove. Not as stagnant as Yamamoto, but he's still somewhat of a surrogate son who, like Urahara and Ichibei, would still prioritise order in the end. And this is evident in the fact that all three of the aforementioned people had an inkling that Ichigo would potentially wind up as the soul king's replacement, but none of them outright challenged it. Ichibei was essentially grooming him for the position, Kyoraku gave passes to Ichigo's friends to visit the Sereitei in case that eventuality came to pass, and Urahara has firmly sided with the "necessary evil" reality of a linchpin. And Ichigo might've even accepted his fate if it was for the sake of the world. Self sacrifice is very in line with Ichigo's M.O.. But sacrificing those that he loves? Sacrificing his son? I think that will be his breaking point and his greatest challenge. Especially for a person who's entire motivation for acquiring power is to protect the ones he cares about. Ichigo has probably always had an idea that the soul society aren't necessarily "good". They literally started off as his enemies. And Ichigo himself, isn't really a "good" guy either. His enemy has always been whoever poses the most danger to the ones he wants to protect. I think the hell chapter will truly test his status as a "hero" in this very morally ambiguous universe. Characters like Naruto and Luffy are more easily able to fit into a hero category because the morality of the worlds they live in is fairly simple and this makes it a lot easier for them to develop a solid philosophy. Ichigo, by comparison, feels more bland because the world he lives in is far more complex so he can't simply be a good guy fighting the bad guys. His own internal world is far too complex in fact. He has "good" guys (shinigami/human) and "bad" guys (quincy/hollow) literally living inside him. So he doesn't bother with developing his moral philosophy and just scales it down to simply protecting the ones he loves. But what if Kazui throws a spanner in the works? What if the person you want to protect is the danger itself? Kubo has apparently centred every arc on someone close to Ichigo: •Soul Society - Rukia •Arrancar - Orihime •Lost Agent - Chad (Apparently lol) •TYBW - Uryu •Hell Arc - Kazui? There are so many moving pieces and so many ideas that could be explored that I'm getting really excited. But I could also be completely off base and Kubo might just go left field and do something else entirely. Either way, I'm very intrigued to see where things go with the hell chapter. I had quite a lot more to say on the topic but I didn't think a RUclips comment was the right format 😅. But I'm gonna try and post an extended version on Bleach's Reddit page if I can. Great video though. Really got my wheels turning 🔥
also ichigo need the see his mom again...i really would love that she was a quincy assasin that kill for not with reishi (destroy souls and shinigami would come) but with psysical power of bluth and his boss was uryu grandpa...something like seigen in ommioji sousei ...an see both masaki and uryu grandpa in hell
tbh i really liked the point you made on how coincidental one peice can be too, so often i know people who tell me bleach is aweful and repeats itself with the same plot and that one peice is amazing, yet i cant help but notice how every island in one peice basically follows very similar steps
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!++ bruh..... ir makes saw enraged...because tekking101 was praise gear 5. But ichigo being a quincy...was pulled out of air" -_- I hate it...that's what I'm doing now.
Arrive on island, cause trouble, learn of big trouble, go to stop big trouble, gain or lose a crew member, beat big trouble. Yeah, now that you mention it...
@@hollowify_tensa_zangetsuthose are two completely different scenarios. We’ve seen luffys gears from 1-4 so it was obvious we were gonna see gear 5 (especially against a yonko)
Just imagine how much more lore we would’ve gotten by Kubo himself if the manga hadn’t been rushed. If i remember correctly, Kubo said that the last arc of the manga was planned to be double the length than it is right now. I think Kubo is busy with the anime right now but if anime does well (which it 100% will) then I‘m optimistic that Kubo will get back to work and give us an Epic very last arc.
The concept that you’re describing has an analog in our world. It’s call entropy. The natural flow of the universe is from order to chaos, and to maintain an ordered system given the chaotic momentum of the universe requires more and more energy over time. What I find interesting about entropy is that it is just an attribute of nature - not necessarily the will of a being. You can resist it for a while, but it is inevitable. When I think about the enemy of the artificial order of the bleach universe being entropy, it makes the inevitability of its ultimate annihilation disturbingly clear. Bleach is bleak 😅
One of the meanings of the name Kazui is Maintainer of Harmony. Other person commented that Ichigo could become antihero or even a villain. I'd say both Fate incarnate and Ichigo, who always fought for System of the 5 Nobles have a high chance to be villainous/antihero story with Kazui becoming the Hero - THE FINAL BALANCE - of Bleach Universe, as we saw that he already can open up portals to Hell, and is a part of the System of 5 Nobles.
I believe Soul Society will see Kazui as a threat. They will try to limit his power. That may be the reason for the huge object that Ichika is carrying around in Kubo's drawing, to check Kazui's immense powers. If she fails to check him, he will be sent to Sokyoku Hill with its giant execution stand.
@@rubies200 This sounds neat, Kazui's powers are very mysterious and I can see the Soul Society trying to keep tabs on him, as they did with his father before. The difference here is that Ichigo had some level of gratitude towards the SS and never rebelled against them, Kazui is still a kid and might not be in full control or knowing what he's doing. Having Ichigo and co. to clash against them would be very interesting in this scenario. We'll see what Kubo is cooking for the Hell arc hopefully soon.
Just goes to show that an imposed system is a self defeating one in various aspects. Also take note on how the ancestors goals in time became the opposite, be the Shihouin becoming deadly enforcers for a stagnant system or the cover up of hell essentially being nothing more than a bandage per say. Hell will be the culmination of Soul Society's origins and actions. Also take note of how doing the morally right thing has less then pleasant results, the fate of the King being the most notable.
@@flameofrebirth101I am ♾️ forever a modrernite student learner of kubology. And hope theory about Dragon 🐉🐲🐲🐉 being connected slash come from Soul-king slash burn the witch.
I can't be the only one thinking that kubo can turn ichigo into an anti hero or villain protagonist in the hell arc bro looks like an absolute menace with that smile😂😂
Nah your definitely onto something, we've seen ichigo smile arrogantly and cocky sometimes but this smile, together with the shadings, makes him look like a straight up villain, it's weird kubo put that much detail especially in the right eye of ichigo's face, he looks like he's about to cause chaos😂
It will definitely be the result of him discovering the horrific truth of the fate he nearly suffered at the hands of those he deemed allies while never digging deeper into the grand picture himself.
A sword strong enough to shatter fate is one strong enough to return the world to chaos. Perhaps Ichigo is guided by fate in a bid to make him the strongest being in the universe and unwittingly shatter the world he seeks so desperately to defend, whether while he lives or when he inevitably dies. Besides, even peace is just one side of the pendulum destined to swing back.
Honestly this might be THE BEST bleach analysis and theory video on the internet also the way you mentioned the “narrator” from the start of the hell arc I didn’t even think of that and compeltely forgot that CANT be a character we already know amazing video and concept I hope most of this comes true 🙏🙏
@@flameofrebirth101 also I have two questions if you wouldn’t mind answering 1) Do you believe the hell arc will be the FINAL arc or do you think a flashback arc for example would come before or in the middle like turn back the pendulum or maybe a side arc to hell 2) would you ever do a video theorising potential villains and roles so like what Ichibei role could be because I’ve seen theories thag people think the hell arc wont be the finale and people think the final antagonist would be the 5th unknown noble
@@flameofrebirth101 damn there a lot of questions I wanna ask you lmao but since your probably replying to others are leave my last 2 questions to ask for another video 😅🙏
@@Synces6969well I don't think hell arc would be last considering we are just shown some new characters and prime examples are Ichika and kazui even though they both may carry big role it is impossible to show their best extent of max power in this arc. I guess the arc can connect to us with some new dimensions like we are told that soul king has cosmic awareness which can see outside garganta so I guess something exist outside garganta too. Well I can't confirm but I don't see hell arc being an ending to bleach like we can't let aizen just ending in muken like that or conclusion to characters like kazui and ichika in just a single arc atleast we need more 2 arcs after these to end completely.
@@vaidikchauhan4382 I don’t think there is anything else to explore outside the gargantua except for the possibility of the “animal realm” and a arc before hell where we get to know the characters and that could easily wrap it up if all that included is like let’s just say 275 chaps that could wrap up a story like bleach pretty well
The craziest theory you will ever heard is that Chad is actually son of "El Diablo", aka the Hell King, counterpart of the Soul King in the other world. Anyway yes, the Hell will be crazy, the last noble family will be revealed there, and who knows who will be the main villains, as I think that the former captains, arrancars or quincies will just be secondary enemies.
I still find hidden information and little nuggets through your videos I re-watched 5 million times and you can still get something different out of it. it is so insane! And to that point, Bleach feels like a concept album.
With the scene shown in the anime, the sealing process with the arrows looks like a Quincy Sprenger. Something like the arrow of Still Silver might have been what they used to circumvent the Reio’s power rendering helpless similar to how Yhwach was left powerless for a moment.
If aizen were to get a backstory in the hell arc, there's no way it will be sympathetic, kubo will most likely make aizen evil from birth, keeping his character consistent😂😂
@@flameofrebirth101I don’t see Luffy as the typical Chosen One such as say Naruto or Aang (not that there’s anything wrong with that) but that the story makes it clear that Luffy isn’t the chosen one but he is simply the one who will inherit will and dreams of Roger and the original JoyBoy.

Its one of the more interesting one out of the big 3, given that Naruto and One piece have fixed goals where the show is going to end which means its kinda predictable the outcome. The only boring stuff is mostly just dragged out pacing in some places, but every long running shows suffers from this.
Anime ppl think is boring I understand that tho most is filler if it ain't aizen and fullbringer aside from first three seasons and tybw it ain't important that's a semi hot take
A have a theory that the reason why yhwach has the almighty Is because of ichibei. Not the power itself but the main reason it’s evolution even started. to be specific the ability to „alter the future“. We saw now in the anime that ichibei „sealed“ his eyes but technically it doesn’t make sense because he uses pernida the left hand . The hand of evolution. Ichibei didn’t seal him he straight up buffed him. The question is did ichibei did that on purpose or just accident?
Yo this theory is actually 🔥 Also notice how when Yhwach gets his Almighty back He gains another pupil, could that moment be where he could alter the future as he sees fit
@@selimgbeleguewe1028 3 eyes = lets you hop from one grain of sand (timeline) to another, 4 eyes = controls which grains of sand can be jumped to to begin with (ie breaking all bankai)
This is a great video, one of the best takes I've seen. One notable thing that you did, for which I am glad, is use the "Fate" poem. I believe that's the lynchpin of the Bleach universe. And the way you tied it all back to the universe trying to find balance (not necessarily chaos), is particularly effective. There are many other Kubo poems out there; Kubo, is a skilled wordsmith.
This is truly a marvelous theory. I'm utterly stunned. I never could've conceived of all of this genius. You managed to clarify every single weird or "convenient" part of the story into one utterly cohesive, glowing thread of truth. It's also scary, it's deep, and this video has expanded this story for me. It's never been a battle against one villain or another, it's fate
This is why TBYW could have been beautiful crafted if left to cook and Kubo in better health. It moved away from Ichigo and crew and focused on the overall story and lore between worlds. Its why it feels unfinished and why Hell one shot leftmore questions and then answers. I liked this alot, thanks. Helped me understand and refresh what happened before the birth of Ichigo and the history of the soul reapers Omg you quoted the "give me a blade to shatter fate" i remember it being so iconic to bleach, it makes so much sense why Ichigo is the shepard to us readers into doing just that
Except Juha's plan would've created a stagnant world. The current system isn't perfect, but it's anything except stagnant, it's just a different kind of chaos. Juha might THINK that he's doing the work of Bleach's Greater Will, but simply returning the world to what it was will create a world of stagnation like it did before. It'd be more plausible that whatever Greater Will that exists in the Bleach universe is trying to break the stagnation that exists in Soul Society since it is the part of the universe most resistant to change.
@@flameofrebirth101 bro It's impressive what you're able to decifer from what's already there. The day Kubo drops more stuff we're gonna ascend to another dimension entirely XD
Bro your analysis blew my mind and my knowledge abt bleach also got better by this. Well I still don't think that bleach will end with hell arc I guess in light novel soul king was stated to see outside of garganta with his cosmic awareness. And in Buddhism there is a king of hell so it might be that universe manifest a being like soul king in form of king of hell
Ichigo being a hybrid was strongly foreshadowed for anyone with an inch of understanding Buddhism and being told early on that Kubo literally put Buddhist references into the very world building People who bitch about it are mostly westerners with 0 knowledge of buddhism
@@starbreaker6740 every race of bleach corresponds to a Buddhist dharma. The easiest connection to make is the "realm of hungry ghosts" which is literally Josh just the hollows and hueco Mundo. Combine that with Ichigo following a similar journey to the Buddha and one of the Buddhas greatest enemies was "Aizen Myo-o" you can fill in the rest
I'm glad someone else picked up on the 5th Noble House and how it's most likely going to feature in the Hell Arc! If we're talking crack theories, then I think I've got a DOOZY! I THINK I might know who is the one calling Kazui to Hell or, at least, what familiar face we might meet down in Hell other than Unohanan, Ukitake, etc. There's basically only one single plot thread that isn't tied up in a nice clean bow by the end of the TYBW, the Shiba arc. We've been getting all these reveals around the Shibas, that they were a Noble House once, that they were INVOLVED in the sealing of the Soul King, that they fell from their standing, that RUKIA was the one that got the blame for it, that Isshin was actually a Shiba too and hence also meaning that ICHIGO is a Shiba as well, but it gets left there. As far as we know, Kukaku and Ganju never find out about this, never discover that they've all been family ever since! It seems strange that something so easy to wrap up would be left behind. And there's one character in Bleach who is basically kind of a proto-Ichigo, a character who has had a MASSIVE impact on the story and so many of the characters, and yet has always just been nothing, but a background character, but who I suspect might be coming back in the Hell Arc. Kaien Shiba. Of course, Rukia did kill him, but we know that Aaroneiro also had his powers, even his Zanpakuto, but what if his Zanpakuto isn't the only thing Aaroneiro absorbed? What if Kaien's soul was absorbed into Aaroneiro? Because guess who is the OTHER Arrancar who we're pretty sure is in Hell right now alongside Szayelaporro! We still don't know what happens to the other Souls a Hollow has devoured when they're sent to Hell, though Kaien could also be a special case due to the nature of his fusion with a Hollow, but, if Kaien is somehow free and in Hell, I bet someone as family-oriented as him would be VERY interested in meeting up with his new nephew and the rest of his extended family! Plus, Rukia's a captain now, but imagine her face if he were to suddenly appear before her again! Kaien would be an excellent foil for Ichigo!
Honestly never would've picked this up on my own.. gotta hand it to you for best theories and understanding what kubo wants to tell in the story.. I've learnt a lot about Kubo's way of writing from you thanks man ✌️
Best bleach youtuber by a long shot. Thanks again for the great video. Also your blue lock content is very enjoyable as well and im very intrested about your theories for this franchise
FIRE video my boy, very mind intriguing & persuasive to reread & dive more into the BLEACH series. Kubology 101 certified video here, everyone take notes.
Honestly this is why Bleach is one of my all time favs, best of the big 3 in my opinion. It has its own style and dosent change from it as it went on but grew. Also the mysteries that Kubo didn’t outright explain can lead to a lot of fun ideas on how the world works, I mean some of the best fanfics/ artwork I’ve seen of bleach wouldn’t exist without that openness. Plus Kubo continues to give to the community with designs for games and answering. The questions.
Best Bleach analysis video on the internet! Period! I always intuitively felt Bleach was way grander than Naruto or One Piece but I couldn't quite tell why! Now I know. I will refer to this very video when it comes up again! Thanx for making it.🙏
I want it to first of all be a long and well developed arc. And personally, two or three years don't seem like it to me. Unless we just want a 50 episode arc, then sure. But I genuinlly see it as it having the potential to be the new version of bleach, such as naruto's shippuden, and one piece's new world phase. There's room for a ton, and I do mean, a ton of material. New world building, new story development, new back stories that can only become relevant under these conditions, new characters, old characters, filling in some of the gaps and voids left in its lore. And actually, completing that lore. There's also the theory of bleach being in the same universe as burn the witch, and it opbviously implies some mechanisms from that show can and will apply to bleach, and rivals worthy of seeing the bankai we haven't seen. Maybe adapting a divine comedy lore into it could work as well. 7 layers of hell seems like plenty of room for everything we have ever wanted. There's just so much more to it than just random new fights like some people want.
I wonder if Kubo thought that through like you and other fan theorists. It would be awesome, entertaining. Powerscaling, more ominous universe in Bleach. HYPE HYPE
I'm suddenly very worried and not so optimistic about the future prospects of our characters... I mean, how the hell are they suppose to get themselves out of this mess?
You know I don't believe Fate will manifest itself through Hell. I think that Hell (and by proxy the King of Hell) had for the most part acted as jailers during the old world, until the events of the original sin they were an agents/servants to the will of "Fate". Hell was initially meant to act as a contingency to aid in the regression/progression when the need arose, then the Lid (Seal) was placed on it reducing it's effectiveness considerably.
I'll be honest, in a phylosophical level, I never understood what this "life and death chaos" would mean in Bleach. Let me explain - In Bleach's world the existence of a soul is an objective truth. Souls housed in a body are alive and souls without a body are dead. The soul itself would not change in nature, only in state. The separation would be that incarnated souls and free souls would not be able to interact. But this line starts to blur when Ichigo (before being a shinigami) can interact with the souls of the dead - he can see and talk to them while still being alive. And this keeps going - Ichigo's soul is separated from his body using the glove so he can act as a shinigami, but he is still alive, and in the soul society invasion Uryu, Sado and Orihime go to the world of the dead and interact whith the souls, while still alive. And all the time Hollows, who are dead people, are capable of existing in and interacting with the world of the living. There is also the reincarnation cycle - in theory living people die, their souls go to soul society where they spend some time, and then they reicarnate in the world of the living. But then you see Shinigami that live for a thousand years without being forced to reincarnate to mantain balance. Wouldn't that be a "life and death entwined" situation? Living people in the world of the dead, dead people in the world of the living, all of them interacting.
Yes, but the states of Uryu and co. outside of the human world are temporary affairs. And the Shinigami with extraordinary lifespans are by far the exception to souls and not the rule as far as the whole of Soul Society goes. Remember that life outside those big walls is rough, and progressively more violent the further out into Rukongai you go. The folks reborn into those outer districts are getting recycled real quick.
THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! this feels so inuttive that i just agree, i wanna know how much Kubo will wplay into an endgame vibe with Hell
Oh!!!! When you explain fate like that, ya huge magi vibes. The corrupt al illa worshippers scream at Solomon & his will, reminds of wandenrich & yuha. If any one hasn't watched magi, go and watch, its very similar to bleach, even Shiro Sagisu composed the music.
With Ichigo at first we see gim being favored by the fate, he gets to meet the people who are important in the world. But later we get to understand that the coincidences and fateful encounters he experienced was a fate designed by the antagonists or the world preparing him for a role that is known as tragic, and that is, being the top candidate for the role being the soul king. An entity that is neither alive nor dead.
Also the only forces who will do anything to stop this nightmare with hell are obviously Ichigo and his friends alongside other survivors of the last war and humans especially if the crisis reaches Doom levels. Not the nobles who steered the course to this end and covered it up. They are brutal among themselves and those they deem less than them yet when a bigger fish arrived they ran.
37:14 Dude... What I'm going to say is crazy, but I... Since I saw past videos of yours that continue this theory of the world of Bleach having a mind of its own, so I theorized that the guy in control would who will be the final menace for Ichigo fight, or like you have said the Fate Manifestation. You invaded my mind, but obviously your theory has more foundation than just a thought of mine 😅 Anyway, you're cocking so much in this video 🎉
Well... I think will have something more in the end of chaos, the will of Bleach world fighting yourself in the last stand for take back the control. @@dogueiravibes
@@dogueiravibes I think we will have something more biggen then Urahara, Urahara will be the penultimate enemy. The ultimate enemy will be Manifest Destiny as a character/will of the world.
This would certainly lend credence to why Kazui randomly has the ability to open the doors to Hell. What else can come from such a thing other than chaos? I imagine whoever's in charge of Hell is aware of the will of the universe, and agrees with its ideals. It'd be strange if Hell wasn't a naturally chaotic place like the old world.
Bro, if Kazui has the next version of The Almighty Imma lose it lol would explain why this kid’s OP af at 10, plus it’s the ultimate irony of having the person who can oppose fate have a kid who is possibly meant to uphold fate. Good shit, love it
this just coroborates my theory about yhwach's dialogue while explaining the all mighty. ichigo's bankai and perhaps powers generally reject or erase fate and replaces it
Well just imagine if hell arc have king of hell which actually looks like ichigo and we get to know that entire shiba clan was just a manifestation of his positive. Well this is just an utterly nonsense theory of mine cause at this point of time no man is stronger than ichigo so there should be a king of hell and considering ichigo's image like villain what happen if king of hell happen to be look like ichigo
@@partapbejai548 well I would be surprised like hell if kubo would do that 😂😂. Well this arc can help us in setting a great world building and kubo can also give us some things like some other gods existence outside of garganta considering LN of bleach also tells that sk can look the dimensions floating outside the garganta or something like that
I like to imagine that just like how aizen and kisuke come to learn the truth of the original sin of soul society, someone will come along in the future and find it out again but with the added bonus that the very man that tried to disrupt the cycle is now being protected as the soul king. Imagine how belief shattering that would be.
@@AJ-kt5zo That's a potential going off the video but hell wasn't seen as taboo by the shinigami throughout the series, the quincies however were and they eradicated many of them and there is the potential that a clan of the quincy like the Ishida clan for example have very high prominence and extremely strong powers. Hence may also be why Uryu wasn't subjected to Auschwhelen when You-Ha-Baw-Ha used it despite being a non echt quincy
@@stuartwilkinson172 Thank you for kind reply. I would find it interesting / norm shattering and adds layers upon layers of interesting corruption that a 🪭 🦠🦠🪭 royal or noble family is apart or is connected to hell slash hellverse.
Im sure that Kubo didnt reviel 5 nobel clan only because its already bin in the story: Aizen, Urahara cuz they both knew to much for a random shinigami. Or it could be Rukia with her 2 race and explaine why Aizen put Hogyeku in her. Or it could be Zaraki cuz hes the only shinigami whos Bankai changed hes body (not including here shinigame who got hollowfication)
Hey, I just found your channel and I already love your theory and analysis videos. Plus the music just makes the video all the more epic👍 Just out of curiosity, what was the song you used at 1:46?
Bruh.....at the end of the battle with ywhbach...when he was grandstan..ichigo while fighting say Ichigo: Ywhbach..quite arrogant..what made you think you cant be toyed with.. Fate....getsuga.......tenshô!!!!!!" Ywhbach: i see, that wasnt a dream..but the future My ending 😊
Always thought/ hoped Urahara would be the next antagonist in keeping with the theme of heroes really being villains and villains hereos. Would also be cool to see Uruhara do a Light Yagami.
Yeah solid speculation here, iirc there is evidence that Kubo maybe wanted the Soul King's parts be actual people onto themselves so this is logical throughline of that same conceit. My only nitpick is Yhwach's birth and having the Almighty isn't arbitrary, he is the soul king's son, unless I misinterpreted what you were trying to say there.
I believe that probably, maybe, the point of ichigo being born, is to be a soul-king like being artificially created, tecnically it wasn't artificial, but with artificial I mean human/shinigami-made, if we go further with these themes, then ichigo will represent the will of those who benefit from the state of order created by the shinigami, it wasn't born out of spontaniety like the original soul king and yhwach, so I believe he exist in a outside-fate kinda state, and that's why he and his son will probably play an important role
-Well as a son I won't blame Ywach for everything he has done especially after what they did to his father. Even Aizen for all his efiorts. Both want one thing that is to somehow free the Soul King out of his misery.
What if universe's will uses Ichigo's son to advance its will? It will he very difficult for ichigo to act against his son in any way, if his son is the one who has to be used.
I think something that furthers your idea of stagnation, would be the death of yamamoto, who yhwach describes as growing weak due to his stagnation. It seems that all inklings of peace seem to inevitably tied to degradation in bleach. Great vid btw
@flameofrebirth101 one interest thing is, humans are not defenseless, they probable are not so powerfull after they robed part of soulking power and became shinigames, but think to humans existy without being extinct they need an way to defent themself, and we see that there are humans that born with powers to fight even in life against hollows
Made me a fan, salute the content also captains dedicating there lives to save everyone around them at any cost every last minute to the sword and at the end they face hell for it, themematic beauty gang; CHiA!
I've been mulling over this BLEACH idea/theory for a long time. I know it's out there. I know. But, let's have a conversation about it, maybe I was wrong all along. See you in the comment section!!!
THANK YOU!!!!!! I'm to BJS and needed a good long video😊😊😊❤❤❤
We have to be connected
I don’t see Luffy as the typical Chosen One such as say Naruto or Aang (not that there’s anything wrong with that) but that the story makes it clear that Luffy isn’t the chosen one but he is simply the one who will inherit will and dreams of Roger and the original JoyBoy.
In fact when you think about it Oda actually kinda plays with this idea of being the Chosen One with Ace, he is son of the Pirate King, Roger had a son for the sole reason that his son would be the one to find the One Piece and bring The Dawn,Whitebeard was actually training Ace to be the next Pirate King with his knowledge,everyone in the talks about how great Ace and he is destined for greatness whereas it’s almost the opposite with Luffy, Ace has the Flame Flame which symbolizes the Sun heck his strongest attack managed Flamed Emperor looks like Ace is holding a giant Sun in his hand.
Ace is what the typical Chosen One protagonist would be, but instead Ace is the one who dies and now that leaves Luffy the unlikely Chosen One to inherit his will. Hell it took Luffy 10 just master Gum Gum Fruit and a little over 2 years to unlock its true powers,
Zoan type Fruits have their own will inside of them unlike other Fruits. So it taking so much time for Luffy to use Nika’s powers means that the fruit itself hadn’t accepted Luffy and was probably waiting to see his worth, think of Enma with Zoro.
Luffy isn’t the Chosen One who picked by Fate to be the hero, Luffy himself has no interest in being a hero but everything that he has done in his life through his on sheer will has lead him to being the hero that the world needs to bring The Dawn. Kaido himself says it doesn’t matter how incredible the power of your Devil Fruit is, at the end of it all it is Haki that transcends all.Haki which symbolizes a person’s willpower and self confidence to keep on moving forward. This is Oda telling us that it’s not Luffy’s Fruit that makes him special but Luffy’s own willpower and that it his will that ultimately changes the world not his Devil Fruit power.
PS. It very heavily suggested that it was Dragon who saved Luffy with that Lightning Bolt. Yes, there times were “Fate” seems to save Luffy and a few of them who can’t explain or reason as to why they happened but some actually have a reasonable explanation.
Honestly the One Piece RUclipsr named Mr Morj does a better job at exploring all this than me. So go check him out.
i have a question is there by any chance a possibility that you could creata a what if on your chanel
Man do I love the idea of innocent child kazui being the unknowing villain even without any Yhwach Bach shenanigans inside his soul…
But he took somethin from the guy… and he’s not in the blind at birth saving everyone with soulsharing for personal benefit at their deaths…
I think a nuanced psychological battle of a confused parent with their kid running around messing with the balance of their universe sounds Perfect for a story around what would otherwise be an epilogue…
So many fans who grew up being weekly readers now have kids and I can see using that kind of element in a really novel way compared to making kazui into a boruto or Gohan or more typical son of protagonist narrative…
But I love the idea that the biggest challenge is parenting a child with powers equivalent to their strongest villains with god powers…
Feels like a nice touch if he handles it that way…
But who knows how much the final arc changes in the anime and where it ends.. cause all of us would love the novels and other intended canon narratives getting explored and the epilogue chapter feels like the start of something he’s probably had planned for ages but knows not to reveal cause it’ll be better if he helps manage the anime making it… which who knows If that becomes a lightnovel or manga continuation…
But tie it in with Ichigo’s translator work taking him to fighting epic dragons at the Western Branch in Burn the Witch or some kinda crossover explaining things there…
So much he can work with and not simply do what everyone expects from shonen battle manga narratives…
@@DrJackShelton I like more the idea of
Kazui knows what he is doing but we don't
This very video itself made kubo decide to let Bleach fans wait another 3 years😭
It's both hilarious and tragic that the only way we could possibly get a continuation to this story is if everyone stops giving a shit about it
@@FerunaLutelouwdym?
@@LUKA_911 Kubo doesn't want to write when people want him to do it.
@@FerunaLutelou ouuuuuh man
Imagine if the climax of bleach is Ichigo needing to choose between fighting against the soul reapers or killing/sacrificing Kazui in order to stop hell.
This video is so interesting because I remember a thought crossing my mind that Kazui seems to be a representation of chaos. The powerful (and ironically noble) lineage coming from his dad, the free spirited nature of his mum, his interaction with fate in destroying Ywach's last remnants, and the unbridled potential of a child, and this child in particular. The look on his face at the end of the chapter looked like pure chaotic joy. He definitely seems like the chosen one of fate and I can see him as an existence that probably shouldn't exist by any natural means in a similar way to Ichigo.
I can also see a scenario in which soul society discovers that Kazui is the problem and comes to the conclusion that he needs to be eliminated. It's extremely in line with the soul society's M.O. of assessing an individual's danger level, which is directly linked to whether or not they can be controlled. Ichigo is a perfect example of this. In theory, he's the most dangerous character in the show. Not only is he a pseudo-soul king, but his powers seem to revolve around challenging fate itself. That's why he was always being monitored and it shows in the substitute shinigami badge he was given. Despite everything he's done for the soul society, they still wouldn't hesitate in killing him if he sided with Ginjo. The soul society fears anything that they can't control and tries to eliminate it wherever possible. Aizen, too hard to control, too powerful to kill, seal him. Kenpachi, too powerful and unpredictable to control, so don't teach him shikai/bankai. And he only ends up learning shikai and bankai when the pillar of order (Yamamoto) dies, and the new, more chaotic leader (Kyoraku) takes over, which I think in a sense is why Kyoraku is the perfect leader to contend with hell. He's the most willing to take risks by using the unpredictable (Zaraki), or using pieces that are beyond his scope of control (Aizen). But at the same time, I think Kyoraku is still a representation of order when push comes to shove. Not as stagnant as Yamamoto, but he's still somewhat of a surrogate son who, like Urahara and Ichibei, would still prioritise order in the end. And this is evident in the fact that all three of the aforementioned people had an inkling that Ichigo would potentially wind up as the soul king's replacement, but none of them outright challenged it. Ichibei was essentially grooming him for the position, Kyoraku gave passes to Ichigo's friends to visit the Sereitei in case that eventuality came to pass, and Urahara has firmly sided with the "necessary evil" reality of a linchpin. And Ichigo might've even accepted his fate if it was for the sake of the world. Self sacrifice is very in line with Ichigo's M.O.. But sacrificing those that he loves? Sacrificing his son? I think that will be his breaking point and his greatest challenge. Especially for a person who's entire motivation for acquiring power is to protect the ones he cares about.
Ichigo has probably always had an idea that the soul society aren't necessarily "good". They literally started off as his enemies. And Ichigo himself, isn't really a "good" guy either. His enemy has always been whoever poses the most danger to the ones he wants to protect. I think the hell chapter will truly test his status as a "hero" in this very morally ambiguous universe. Characters like Naruto and Luffy are more easily able to fit into a hero category because the morality of the worlds they live in is fairly simple and this makes it a lot easier for them to develop a solid philosophy. Ichigo, by comparison, feels more bland because the world he lives in is far more complex so he can't simply be a good guy fighting the bad guys. His own internal world is far too complex in fact. He has "good" guys (shinigami/human) and "bad" guys (quincy/hollow) literally living inside him. So he doesn't bother with developing his moral philosophy and just scales it down to simply protecting the ones he loves. But what if Kazui throws a spanner in the works? What if the person you want to protect is the danger itself?
Kubo has apparently centred every arc on someone close to Ichigo:
•Soul Society - Rukia
•Arrancar - Orihime
•Lost Agent - Chad (Apparently lol)
•TYBW - Uryu
•Hell Arc - Kazui?
There are so many moving pieces and so many ideas that could be explored that I'm getting really excited. But I could also be completely off base and Kubo might just go left field and do something else entirely. Either way, I'm very intrigued to see where things go with the hell chapter. I had quite a lot more to say on the topic but I didn't think a RUclips comment was the right format 😅. But I'm gonna try and post an extended version on Bleach's Reddit page if I can.
Great video though. Really got my wheels turning 🔥
Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed your comment. Can't wait to see what's in store for us and the Hell arc.
@@MissAllWednesday thank you 😊. Really glad you enjoyed it 🙏🏽
also ichigo need the see his mom again...i really would love that she was a quincy assasin that kill for not with reishi (destroy souls and shinigami would come) but with psysical power of bluth and his boss was uryu grandpa...something like seigen in ommioji sousei ...an see both masaki and uryu grandpa in hell
BOTH OF YOU ARE ONTO SOMETHING AND I HATE IT BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE
i read all of it
Aizen: "i made you who you are, you owe me a Thanksgiving, every step of your life was a key to my plan."
Then Aizen Retorts ‘So when where you under the illusion that you weren’t under the power of Kyōka Suigetsu’ 😂😂😂
tbh i really liked the point you made on how coincidental one peice can be too, so often i know people who tell me bleach is aweful and repeats itself with the same plot and that one peice is amazing, yet i cant help but notice how every island in one peice basically follows very similar steps
I KNOW RIGHT!!!!++ bruh..... ir makes saw enraged...because tekking101 was praise gear 5.
But ichigo being a quincy...was pulled out of air" -_- I hate it...that's what I'm doing now.
Arrive on island, cause trouble, learn of big trouble, go to stop big trouble, gain or lose a crew member, beat big trouble.
Yeah, now that you mention it...
And with bleach, it only happened two times
@@hollowify_tensa_zangetsuthose are two completely different scenarios. We’ve seen luffys gears from 1-4 so it was obvious we were gonna see gear 5 (especially against a yonko)
You shouldn't listen to idiots for too long 😂😂😂
Just imagine how much more lore we would’ve gotten by Kubo himself if the manga hadn’t been rushed. If i remember correctly, Kubo said that the last arc of the manga was planned to be double the length than it is right now. I think Kubo is busy with the anime right now but if anime does well (which it 100% will) then I‘m optimistic that Kubo will get back to work and give us an Epic very last arc.

@@roywempor8395wait what. Dayum.
The concept that you’re describing has an analog in our world. It’s call entropy. The natural flow of the universe is from order to chaos, and to maintain an ordered system given the chaotic momentum of the universe requires more and more energy over time. What I find interesting about entropy is that it is just an attribute of nature - not necessarily the will of a being. You can resist it for a while, but it is inevitable. When I think about the enemy of the artificial order of the bleach universe being entropy, it makes the inevitability of its ultimate annihilation disturbingly clear. Bleach is bleak 😅
I’m sad that I didn’t think of this. Entropy is the perfect word to use. Chaos is cool but Bleach’s world is basically just entropy.
or maybe rather the entity who wields entropy, a true all-powerful god above all.
Beginning after the end novel reaching entropy concept was dope. Guys check it out
One of the meanings of the name Kazui is Maintainer of Harmony. Other person commented that Ichigo could become antihero or even a villain. I'd say both Fate incarnate and Ichigo, who always fought for System of the 5 Nobles have a high chance to be villainous/antihero story with Kazui becoming the Hero - THE FINAL BALANCE - of Bleach Universe, as we saw that he already can open up portals to Hell, and is a part of the System of 5 Nobles.
I believe Soul Society will see Kazui as a threat. They will try to limit his power. That may be the reason for the huge object that Ichika is carrying around in Kubo's drawing, to check Kazui's immense powers. If she fails to check him, he will be sent to Sokyoku Hill with its giant execution stand.
@@rubies200 This sounds neat, Kazui's powers are very mysterious and I can see the Soul Society trying to keep tabs on him, as they did with his father before. The difference here is that Ichigo had some level of gratitude towards the SS and never rebelled against them, Kazui is still a kid and might not be in full control or knowing what he's doing. Having Ichigo and co. to clash against them would be very interesting in this scenario. We'll see what Kubo is cooking for the Hell arc hopefully soon.
@@cami1700I feel same. But the the captain wouldn't ever do that.
Shunshi wouldn't tho.
I imagine Ichigo will fight against hell, and his son will be something else. A different path.
Just goes to show that an imposed system is a self defeating one in various aspects. Also take note on how the ancestors goals in time became the opposite, be the Shihouin becoming deadly enforcers for a stagnant system or the cover up of hell essentially being nothing more than a bandage per say. Hell will be the culmination of Soul Society's origins and actions. Also take note of how doing the morally right thing has less then pleasant results, the fate of the King being the most notable.
Kubo cooking as per usual

@@flameofrebirth101especially that rukia said to ichigo when he rescuing her that he was tyrannical rescuer.
I can't be the only one thinking that kubo can turn ichigo into an anti hero or villain protagonist in the hell arc bro looks like an absolute menace with that smile😂😂
He definitely looks like he's plotting something devious😂😂
@@TheAot-zv3bsAs yhwach is dead and aizen is sealed its ichigo's time to start his villain arc 😂😂
Nah your definitely onto something, we've seen ichigo smile arrogantly and cocky sometimes but this smile, together with the shadings, makes him look like a straight up villain, it's weird kubo put that much detail especially in the right eye of ichigo's face, he looks like he's about to cause chaos😂
It will definitely be the result of him discovering the horrific truth of the fate he nearly suffered at the hands of those he deemed allies while never digging deeper into the grand picture himself.
@@manuelacosta9463 thats exactly what i am saying too
A sword strong enough to shatter fate is one strong enough to return the world to chaos. Perhaps Ichigo is guided by fate in a bid to make him the strongest being in the universe and unwittingly shatter the world he seeks so desperately to defend, whether while he lives or when he inevitably dies. Besides, even peace is just one side of the pendulum destined to swing back.
Imagine Hell after all the millenia and gaining powerhouses like yama and the old gotei 13 also decided to have a will of its own and choses Kazui.
Honestly this might be THE BEST bleach analysis and theory video on the internet also the way you mentioned the “narrator” from the start of the hell arc I didn’t even think of that and compeltely forgot that CANT be a character we already know amazing video and concept I hope most of this comes true 🙏🙏
I’m super invested to know who that was. Kubo doesn’t usually do “narrations” like other shows. Gotta be important
@@flameofrebirth101 also I have two questions if you wouldn’t mind answering 1) Do you believe the hell arc will be the FINAL arc or do you think a flashback arc for example would come before or in the middle like turn back the pendulum or maybe a side arc to hell
2) would you ever do a video theorising potential villains and roles so like what Ichibei role could be because I’ve seen theories thag people think the hell arc wont be the finale and people think the final antagonist would be the 5th unknown noble

@@Synces6969well I don't think hell arc would be last considering we are just shown some new characters and prime examples are Ichika and kazui even though they both may carry big role it is impossible to show their best extent of max power in this arc. I guess the arc can connect to us with some new dimensions like we are told that soul king has cosmic awareness which can see outside garganta so I guess something exist outside garganta too. Well I can't confirm but I don't see hell arc being an ending to bleach like we can't let aizen just ending in muken like that or conclusion to characters like kazui and ichika in just a single arc atleast we need more 2 arcs after these to end completely.
@@vaidikchauhan4382 I don’t think there is anything else to explore outside the gargantua except for the possibility of the “animal realm” and a arc before hell where we get to know the characters and that could easily wrap it up if all that included is like let’s just say 275 chaps that could wrap up a story like bleach pretty well
The level of contextualization, kubology, and understanding you have on bleach is enlightening and unparalleled. Much thanks.
Thank you!
The craziest theory you will ever heard is that Chad is actually son of "El Diablo", aka the Hell King, counterpart of the Soul King in the other world.
Anyway yes, the Hell will be crazy, the last noble family will be revealed there, and who knows who will be the main villains, as I think that the former captains, arrancars or quincies will just be secondary enemies.
Chad is a bad cannon fodder😂
I still find hidden information and little nuggets through your videos I re-watched 5 million times and you can still get something different out of it. it is so insane! And to that point, Bleach feels like a concept album.
With the scene shown in the anime, the sealing process with the arrows looks like a Quincy Sprenger. Something like the arrow of Still Silver might have been what they used to circumvent the Reio’s power rendering helpless similar to how Yhwach was left powerless for a moment.
If aizen were to get a backstory in the hell arc, there's no way it will be sympathetic, kubo will most likely make aizen evil from birth, keeping his character consistent😂😂
I can definitely see that 😂😂
Kubo will never do an Aizen backstory. I’ve accepted it.

People say Bleach is boring , but if u read the Light novels and keep up with Bleach expo and. Klub outside u realize how dark the story is
Who the foock said that? 😂😂😂 that's crazy
Its one of the more interesting one out of the big 3, given that Naruto and One piece have fixed goals where the show is going to end which means its kinda predictable the outcome. The only boring stuff is mostly just dragged out pacing in some places, but every long running shows suffers from this.

@@Tech_Demon666 I like some of the fillers except Bount arc
A have a theory that the reason why yhwach has the almighty Is because of ichibei. Not the power itself but the main reason it’s evolution even started. to be specific the ability to „alter the future“. We saw now in the anime that ichibei „sealed“ his eyes but technically it doesn’t make sense because he uses pernida the left hand . The hand of evolution. Ichibei didn’t seal him he straight up buffed him. The question is did ichibei did that on purpose or just accident?
Yo this theory is actually 🔥 Also notice how when Yhwach gets his Almighty back He gains another pupil, could that moment be where he could alter the future as he sees fit

This is a great video, one of the best takes I've seen. One notable thing that you did, for which I am glad, is use the "Fate" poem. I believe that's the lynchpin of the Bleach universe. And the way you tied it all back to the universe trying to find balance (not necessarily chaos), is particularly effective. There are many other Kubo poems out there; Kubo, is a skilled wordsmith.
This is truly a marvelous theory. I'm utterly stunned. I never could've conceived of all of this genius. You managed to clarify every single weird or "convenient" part of the story into one utterly cohesive, glowing thread of truth. It's also scary, it's deep, and this video has expanded this story for me. It's never been a battle against one villain or another, it's fate
This is why TBYW could have been beautiful crafted if left to cook and Kubo in better health. It moved away from Ichigo and crew and focused on the overall story and lore between worlds. Its why it feels unfinished and why Hell one shot leftmore questions and then answers. I liked this alot, thanks. Helped me understand and refresh what happened before the birth of Ichigo and the history of the soul reapers
Omg you quoted the "give me a blade to shatter fate" i remember it being so iconic to bleach, it makes so much sense why Ichigo is the shepard to us readers into doing just that
Except Juha's plan would've created a stagnant world. The current system isn't perfect, but it's anything except stagnant, it's just a different kind of chaos. Juha might THINK that he's doing the work of Bleach's Greater Will, but simply returning the world to what it was will create a world of stagnation like it did before.
It'd be more plausible that whatever Greater Will that exists in the Bleach universe is trying to break the stagnation that exists in Soul Society since it is the part of the universe most resistant to change.
My gosh! I fear your galaxy brain is going to end me someday😂
I’m running out of things. Kubo needs to make more ASAP.
@@flameofrebirth101 bro It's impressive what you're able to decifer from what's already there. The day Kubo drops more stuff we're gonna ascend to another dimension entirely XD
Bro your analysis blew my mind and my knowledge abt bleach also got better by this. Well I still don't think that bleach will end with hell arc I guess in light novel soul king was stated to see outside of garganta with his cosmic awareness. And in Buddhism there is a king of hell so it might be that universe manifest a being like soul king in form of king of hell
Ichigo being a hybrid was strongly foreshadowed for anyone with an inch of understanding Buddhism and being told early on that Kubo literally put Buddhist references into the very world building
People who bitch about it are mostly westerners with 0 knowledge of buddhism
Can’t lie
Who cares
Could you elaborate?
@@starbreaker6740 every race of bleach corresponds to a Buddhist dharma. The easiest connection to make is the "realm of hungry ghosts" which is literally Josh just the hollows and hueco Mundo. Combine that with Ichigo following a similar journey to the Buddha and one of the Buddhas greatest enemies was "Aizen Myo-o" you can fill in the rest
I'm glad someone else picked up on the 5th Noble House and how it's most likely going to feature in the Hell Arc!
If we're talking crack theories, then I think I've got a DOOZY!
I THINK I might know who is the one calling Kazui to Hell or, at least, what familiar face we might meet down in Hell other than Unohanan, Ukitake, etc.
There's basically only one single plot thread that isn't tied up in a nice clean bow by the end of the TYBW, the Shiba arc. We've been getting all these reveals around the Shibas, that they were a Noble House once, that they were INVOLVED in the sealing of the Soul King, that they fell from their standing, that RUKIA was the one that got the blame for it, that Isshin was actually a Shiba too and hence also meaning that ICHIGO is a Shiba as well, but it gets left there. As far as we know, Kukaku and Ganju never find out about this, never discover that they've all been family ever since! It seems strange that something so easy to wrap up would be left behind.
And there's one character in Bleach who is basically kind of a proto-Ichigo, a character who has had a MASSIVE impact on the story and so many of the characters, and yet has always just been nothing, but a background character, but who I suspect might be coming back in the Hell Arc.
Kaien Shiba.
Of course, Rukia did kill him, but we know that Aaroneiro also had his powers, even his Zanpakuto, but what if his Zanpakuto isn't the only thing Aaroneiro absorbed? What if Kaien's soul was absorbed into Aaroneiro? Because guess who is the OTHER Arrancar who we're pretty sure is in Hell right now alongside Szayelaporro! We still don't know what happens to the other Souls a Hollow has devoured when they're sent to Hell, though Kaien could also be a special case due to the nature of his fusion with a Hollow, but, if Kaien is somehow free and in Hell, I bet someone as family-oriented as him would be VERY interested in meeting up with his new nephew and the rest of his extended family! Plus, Rukia's a captain now, but imagine her face if he were to suddenly appear before her again! Kaien would be an excellent foil for Ichigo!
Honestly never would've picked this up on my own.. gotta hand it to you for best theories and understanding what kubo wants to tell in the story.. I've learnt a lot about Kubo's way of writing from you thanks man ✌️
Best bleach youtuber by a long shot. Thanks again for the great video. Also your blue lock content is very enjoyable as well and im very intrested about your theories for this franchise
It reminds of DC and Marvel cosmic events. But at least it would be more consistent because there'd be one author and hopefully less time stretch.
FIRE video my boy, very mind intriguing & persuasive to reread & dive more into the BLEACH series. Kubology 101 certified video here, everyone take notes.
🙇♂️🙇♂️ yessir👐👐
Thank you for this Awesome Bleach Video Flame of Rebirth
You’re very welcome!
Honestly this is why Bleach is one of my all time favs, best of the big 3 in my opinion. It has its own style and dosent change from it as it went on but grew. Also the mysteries that Kubo didn’t outright explain can lead to a lot of fun ideas on how the world works, I mean some of the best fanfics/ artwork I’ve seen of bleach wouldn’t exist without that openness. Plus Kubo continues to give to the community with designs for games and answering. The questions.
This video has become my second all time fav video of yours after the ichigos hollowfication affinity video!! Such bangers!!
Best Bleach analysis video on the internet! Period!
I always intuitively felt Bleach was way grander than Naruto or One Piece but I couldn't quite tell why!
Now I know. I will refer to this very video when it comes up again!
Thanx for making it.🙏
I’m glad I could help!
Mindblowing video, totally awesome indeed. 👏👏👏👏
Thank you!
I want it to first of all be a long and well developed arc. And personally, two or three years don't seem like it to me. Unless we just want a 50 episode arc, then sure. But I genuinlly see it as it having the potential to be the new version of bleach, such as naruto's shippuden, and one piece's new world phase.
There's room for a ton, and I do mean, a ton of material. New world building, new story development, new back stories that can only become relevant under these conditions, new characters, old characters, filling in some of the gaps and voids left in its lore. And actually, completing that lore. There's also the theory of bleach being in the same universe as burn the witch, and it opbviously implies some mechanisms from that show can and will apply to bleach, and rivals worthy of seeing the bankai we haven't seen. Maybe adapting a divine comedy lore into it could work as well. 7 layers of hell seems like plenty of room for everything we have ever wanted.
There's just so much more to it than just random new fights like some people want.
I just have a feeling that the universe will manifest a being like the soul king within hell.
That would be epic
@@flameofrebirth101❤🤎🤎❤️🧡💛🤎
This was great as usual 👏🏽
I wonder if Kubo thought that through like you and other fan theorists. It would be awesome, entertaining. Powerscaling, more ominous universe in Bleach. HYPE HYPE
Ichigo benefiting from "happy coincidences" goes beyond the nature of his birth.
I'm suddenly very worried and not so optimistic about the future prospects of our characters... I mean, how the hell are they suppose to get themselves out of this mess?
Kubos writing is on Seinen level tbh
You know I don't believe Fate will manifest itself through Hell. I think that Hell (and by proxy the King of Hell)
had for the most part acted as jailers during the old world, until the events of the original sin they were an agents/servants to the will of "Fate".
Hell was initially meant to act as a contingency to aid in the regression/progression when the need arose, then the Lid (Seal) was placed
on it reducing it's effectiveness considerably.
I'll be honest, in a phylosophical level, I never understood what this "life and death chaos" would mean in Bleach.
Let me explain - In Bleach's world the existence of a soul is an objective truth. Souls housed in a body are alive and souls without a body are dead. The soul itself would not change in nature, only in state. The separation would be that incarnated souls and free souls would not be able to interact.
But this line starts to blur when Ichigo (before being a shinigami) can interact with the souls of the dead - he can see and talk to them while still being alive.
And this keeps going - Ichigo's soul is separated from his body using the glove so he can act as a shinigami, but he is still alive, and in the soul society invasion Uryu, Sado and Orihime go to the world of the dead and interact whith the souls, while still alive.
And all the time Hollows, who are dead people, are capable of existing in and interacting with the world of the living.
There is also the reincarnation cycle - in theory living people die, their souls go to soul society where they spend some time, and then they reicarnate in the world of the living.
But then you see Shinigami that live for a thousand years without being forced to reincarnate to mantain balance.
Wouldn't that be a "life and death entwined" situation? Living people in the world of the dead, dead people in the world of the living, all of them interacting.
Yes, but the states of Uryu and co. outside of the human world are temporary affairs. And the Shinigami with extraordinary lifespans are by far the exception to souls and not the rule as far as the whole of Soul Society goes. Remember that life outside those big walls is rough, and progressively more violent the further out into Rukongai you go. The folks reborn into those outer districts are getting recycled real quick.
So tsukishima could strike the tablet and see its completed state back in its history?
Possibly
THAT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! this feels so inuttive that i just agree, i wanna know how much Kubo will wplay into an endgame vibe with Hell
🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Great video, honestly... I really enjoyed listening to this. Thanks bro!
Thanks for the kind words!
Oh!!!! When you explain fate like that, ya huge magi vibes.
The corrupt al illa worshippers scream at Solomon & his will, reminds of wandenrich & yuha.
If any one hasn't watched magi, go and watch, its very similar to bleach, even Shiro Sagisu composed the music.
Magi GOATED. Magi top ten
With Ichigo at first we see gim being favored by the fate, he gets to meet the people who are important in the world. But later we get to understand that the coincidences and fateful encounters he experienced was a fate designed by the antagonists or the world preparing him for a role that is known as tragic, and that is, being the top candidate for the role being the soul king. An entity that is neither alive nor dead.
Also the only forces who will do anything to stop this nightmare with hell are obviously Ichigo and his friends alongside other survivors of the last war and humans especially if the crisis reaches Doom levels. Not the nobles who steered the course to this end and covered it up. They are brutal among themselves and those they deem less than them yet when a bigger fish arrived they ran.
A ton of cool characters with Ichibei level history are sure to come
37:14 Dude... What I'm going to say is crazy, but I... Since I saw past videos of yours that continue this theory of the world of Bleach having a mind of its own, so I theorized that the guy in control would who will be the final menace for Ichigo fight, or like you have said the Fate Manifestation. You invaded my mind, but obviously your theory has more foundation than just a thought of mine 😅
Anyway, you're cocking so much in this video 🎉
Urahara
Well... I think will have something more in the end of chaos, the will of Bleach world fighting yourself in the last stand for take back the control. @@dogueiravibes
@@dogueiravibes I think we will have something more biggen then Urahara, Urahara will be the penultimate enemy. The ultimate enemy will be Manifest Destiny as a character/will of the world.
The will of world is the Eternal and Perpetual Chaos
Cool I wasn't expecting the Magi comparison
Your theory is so peak I'll inevitably be disappointed if Kubo doesnt do this, or at least Im completely confident in this assessment. Well done.
This would certainly lend credence to why Kazui randomly has the ability to open the doors to Hell. What else can come from such a thing other than chaos? I imagine whoever's in charge of Hell is aware of the will of the universe, and agrees with its ideals. It'd be strange if Hell wasn't a naturally chaotic place like the old world.
Naruto’s story very much has fate as a message in its story and how it doesn’t define you. It’s very much pointed out a lot
Bro, if Kazui has the next version of The Almighty Imma lose it lol would explain why this kid’s OP af at 10, plus it’s the ultimate irony of having the person who can oppose fate have a kid who is possibly meant to uphold fate. Good shit, love it
So Yawach aka Yuha is the good guy 😂
So was Aizen lol
what a beutifully crafted video. This summons up why Bleach is definitely my favorite out of the big 3
this just coroborates my theory about yhwach's dialogue while explaining the all mighty. ichigo's bankai and perhaps powers generally reject or erase fate and replaces it
Exceptional video man.
Interesting theory makes a lot of sense! Also, Magi is highly underrated
You forgot to say that the fullbringers also have a part of the soul king
True
Bleach and Magi in the Same Video this must be Made for me
Both in My top 3
Magi is so underrated
Well just imagine if hell arc have king of hell which actually looks like ichigo and we get to know that entire shiba clan was just a manifestation of his positive. Well this is just an utterly nonsense theory of mine cause at this point of time no man is stronger than ichigo so there should be a king of hell and considering ichigo's image like villain what happen if king of hell happen to be look like ichigo
Nah The wild part would be if that's ichigo himself 😂😂
@@partapbejai548 well I would be surprised like hell if kubo would do that 😂😂. Well this arc can help us in setting a great world building and kubo can also give us some things like some other gods existence outside of garganta considering LN of bleach also tells that sk can look the dimensions floating outside the garganta or something like that
@@vaidikchauhan4382❤
This would be perfect for a final arc after the hell arc. Then they could do more stories in the regular world of bleach again.
Ichigo vs the manifestation of the universe is 100% gonna happen
I like to imagine that just like how aizen and kisuke come to learn the truth of the original sin of soul society, someone will come along in the future and find it out again but with the added bonus that the very man that tried to disrupt the cycle is now being protected as the soul king. Imagine how belief shattering that would be.
What if the 5th noble house is a noble quincy?
Would definitely explain why he or she is left unnamed among the soul reapers.
Think the 5th noble family rules or is apart of hell slash hellverse itself.
@@AJ-kt5zo
That's a potential going off the video but hell wasn't seen as taboo by the shinigami throughout the series, the quincies however were and they eradicated many of them and there is the potential that a clan of the quincy like the Ishida clan for example have very high prominence and extremely strong powers. Hence may also be why Uryu wasn't subjected to Auschwhelen when You-Ha-Baw-Ha used it despite being a non echt quincy
@@stuartwilkinson172 Thank you for kind reply. I would find it interesting / norm shattering and adds layers upon layers of interesting corruption that a 🪭 🦠🦠🪭 royal or noble family is apart or is connected to hell slash hellverse.
Im sure that Kubo didnt reviel 5 nobel clan only because its already bin in the story: Aizen, Urahara cuz they both knew to much for a random shinigami.
Or it could be Rukia with her 2 race and explaine why Aizen put Hogyeku in her.
Or it could be Zaraki cuz hes the only shinigami whos Bankai changed hes body (not including here shinigame who got hollowfication)
@@ВладиславМартус-ц6г Fair point ☝️ Zaraki Bankai literally Oni = 😈👿👿😈 him.
Yooo this is fire broski my nigga got the voice that Morgan freeman effect
Hahaha. I’m honored for the comparison
Hey, I just found your channel and I already love your theory and analysis videos. Plus the music just makes the video all the more epic👍
Just out of curiosity, what was the song you used at 1:46?
Thank you! Song is Mercy Mirror Instrumental by Within Temptation!
Bruh.....at the end of the battle with ywhbach...when he was grandstan..ichigo while fighting say
Ichigo: Ywhbach..quite arrogant..what made you think you cant be toyed with..
Fate....getsuga.......tenshô!!!!!!"
Ywhbach: i see, that wasnt a dream..but the future
My ending 😊
one of the most beautiful theories I have ever heard.🤯🥶
Aint gonna lie, that was freaking epic...
You have blown my mind
Great video
🙇♂️
Always thought/ hoped Urahara would be the next antagonist in keeping with the theme of heroes really being villains and villains hereos. Would also be cool to see Uruhara do a Light Yagami.
I've long theorized that Masaki and Isshin were fated to meat, and White isn't the catalyst, but rather was taking advantage of knowing they'd meet.
Bruh this vid was so fire
Visionnnn.. my dudeee
@@flameofrebirth101 my boy 😌 i hope you're well! I'm just here binging your vids !!
Stop saying bruh
As much as i want it to be, Gremmy did not possess the brain of the SK
It is heavily implied at the bare minimum
Great theory 👍
I imagine that rei-o could see 'fate' the most likely sequences of events and the will of the world
Even Kubo didn’t even know about this theory
37:10 Bro has me hyped for the future of Bleach
Yeah solid speculation here, iirc there is evidence that Kubo maybe wanted the Soul King's parts be actual people onto themselves so this is logical throughline of that same conceit.
My only nitpick is Yhwach's birth and having the Almighty isn't arbitrary, he is the soul king's son, unless I misinterpreted what you were trying to say there.
I believe that probably, maybe, the point of ichigo being born, is to be a soul-king like being artificially created, tecnically it wasn't artificial, but with artificial I mean human/shinigami-made, if we go further with these themes, then ichigo will represent the will of those who benefit from the state of order created by the shinigami, it wasn't born out of spontaniety like the original soul king and yhwach, so I believe he exist in a outside-fate kinda state, and that's why he and his son will probably play an important role
-Well as a son
I won't blame Ywach for everything he has done especially after what they did to his father.
Even Aizen for all his efiorts.
Both want one thing that is to somehow free the Soul King out of his misery.
One of the best Bleach videos I've ever seen! *claps*
STOP! I don't need to be more excited for the Hell arc when we don't even know if there's ever gonna be a continuation. I need the Hell arc...
What if universe's will uses Ichigo's son to advance its will? It will he very difficult for ichigo to act against his son in any way, if his son is the one who has to be used.
FINALLY SOME RESPECT ON MAGI'S NAME LETSGOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
The hint is already there the whole time lol, but nobody catch it.
What’s in this video or something else?
@@flameofrebirth101 in the story, byakuya already state it after fight with ichigo.
I think something that furthers your idea of stagnation, would be the death of yamamoto, who yhwach describes as growing weak due to his stagnation. It seems that all inklings of peace seem to inevitably tied to degradation in bleach. Great vid btw
@flameofrebirth101 one interest thing is, humans are not defenseless, they probable are not so powerfull after they robed part of soulking power and became shinigames, but think to humans existy without being extinct they need an way to defent themself, and we see that there are humans that born with powers to fight even in life against hollows
Goes hard
I honestly think that the Hell Arc of Bleach will be heavily based on the book of Revelations.
I can’t disagree
Made me a fan, salute the content also captains dedicating there lives to save everyone around them at any cost every last minute to the sword and at the end they face hell for it, themematic beauty gang; CHiA!
This is basically Laws of Thermodynamics at play...
Summary of Video: Ichigo started the big bang to create the universe and all of mankind
He might’ve tbh
