When I watched anime I was never part of the ”community” so often I formed my own genuine opinions about things. When I watched fullbring arc I felt it was so different, like a chill arc, I never realized it was hated this much. It was enjoyable, of course there was better arcs but FB was never bad. Idk why folks hated it lol It's like the hxh election arc, a chill arc after a bloody ant chimera arc
Same. I didn't get into bleach until it was all over. (I think it was like 2014) and I loved this arc when I got to it. It was honestly my favorite arc. It's slow pacing gave me time to breath after all the epic battles and allowed me to understand Ichigo on a more personal level then just hoping he'll get back up and win whatever fight he's in at the moment. And after that slow burn, I got an epic battle with stunning graphics. I thijk this was the season they went from drawn animation to digital and it showed. So much sharper and fluid than previous fights. I didn't even know Bleach continued past that point in the manga and I was happy with what I thought was the series finale.
Same honestly the Fullbringer Arc is my favourite. Im happy I got in FMA blind because the overhyping from the community could have made me dislike it.
The fullbring arc is literally proof of Ichigos "Goal" its the embodiment of why he wants his powers back so neither he or anyone will ever have to go through the pain he did regarding losing a loved one. Ichigo doesn't need his powers back, he wants them back so that can carry the weight for his friends and family. Same reason I hate when people say hr has no reason to help the SS in the last arc. Simply put the SS as a whole are allies and friends. Its as simple as that. From his major best friends such as Renji and Rukia, to respected allies in Komamura and shunsui, to unspoken rivalry with Byakuya and Kenpachi , from short but major friendships in Ganju and Hantaro. Plus all of the spirits he's sent there after cleansing them. Ichigo is a Superhero. He made it clear its not about duty, he does ot because he wants to and nothing is going to stop Ichigo from carrying the weight of those he cares for into a Tommorow without rain
I finished Bleach a couple of months ago and currently I’m on ep 80 of One Piece. I love Naruto but I agree between the three Ichigo is my favorite protagonist too. From the beginning of the show I found myself really rooting for Ichigo and having a great respect for him on how he carries himself.
Ichigo is my favorite protagonist too he's just feel relatable like Naruto living in ninja world Luffy living a pirate world but Ichigo he live in the modern world except for the soul Reaper thing but still
Eh the end battles were all right but not on tier with everything that came before. Nonetheless I did enjoy it, more so the part of how the soul society handpick grew after those years and Renji was a drip
@@SemekiIzuio My only real complaint with the Arc is that Ichigo only uses his Fullbring for like 2 episodes. I wish the Arc was longer, or the conflict got resolved without Ichigo's Fullbring being lost, then he could of just got his powers back during TTYBW.
I really liked the fullbringer arc. I liked how it gave a backstory/explanation to Chad and Orihime’s power other than “lol hogyoku or something). I only wish Chad and Orihime got to fight in the end instead of a bunch of soul reaper captains who were too OP for their opponents. (Still sad/mad Chad didn’t get to develop a full body armor fullbring Before the end of the series. That would have looked totally sick.)
Really really realllllllllllllllllllllllllllly hoping Chad gets developed more in the anime reboot. Some fights with him could be great and he would get even more screen time (going against Meninas would be hype, for example)
True. Chad should have gotten more development, but the Fans and Editor forced Kubo to put more focus on the Soul Reapers and ignore the human supporting cast
This arc is hella underrated; I love the scene when ichigo loses his fullbring powers and breaks down crying, it breaks my heart seeing him cry while ishida looks at him understanding his pain (since ishida himself lost his powers earlier in the series).
For me it's an important arc because it's during this arc that I discovered Bleach and started following the manga weekly. I liked it since the very beginning.
It truly is the most underrated arc in the series.... It really showed us how much he has matured and developed since chapter 1...... Loved the video.... You for a really great job.... Keep up the good work fam
At least we can all agree, that ichigo vs ginjou was a well animated fight Looking forward for the type of animation the thousand year blood war will have NANI!!! TEKKING!!!
Oh my god... I'm literally in tears... Only now, after you said it, i realised that Ichigo was always reluctant to kill. Ginjo was the ONLY enemy he actively killed and on top of that human and fellow shinigam rep./vizard ... It was such a difficult decision for him but he knew there was no other way. My heart bleeds knowing that in some other world they might have been almost like brothers.
What I love about the fullbring arc is it felt like bleach mixed with the regular world which was a nice change of pace, and the betrayal at the end was a great twist, GOD DAMN I LOVE BLEACH!
When I went into the fullbring arc all I ever heard was, "it is awful" But after watching it I was genuinely confused as to why that was such a popular opinion
@unlucky 13 same with me i heard it was terrible, but it was amazing. I think people hate it because they compare it to the aizen arc and not as its own thing which you cant do because the full bring arc has a very different tone and story telling
The people who don't like the Fullbring arc are the ones who can't read too deep into the narrative of a story, Kubo flexed his abilities to write a deep story but these spergs who only want battle after battle ruined its reputation. It's a shame, for such a good arc.

Thank you guys for this... I've always felt this arc was one of the best in bleach. It expanded the bleach universe; delved into the origins of Chad's power; deeper fuller connection into Ichigo's psyche ... his growth & turmoil of acceptance, denial, desperation; transitional stages of life; the profound bonds of relationships; etc. [And the fact that it's the first time he kills a human being ... shocking to say the least] We all grew alongside with Ichigo/bleach ... and this arc took ownership of this fact and attempted to demand more of us in return. Truly loved the arc ... it was beautiful IMHO.
It's unfortunate that the Fullbring Arc doesn't get a lot of acknowledgement. Bleach isn't very in your face about what the characters are going through per say, but there is enough hints to understand where they are coming from. Could it have been executed better? Probably, but I do like that its subtle in being able to see these differences with the character development throughout the series.
Oddly enough that recent shonen series dive into this type of arc where it's more than just a typical shonen battle and people love it but back when Bleach did this, a lot of people don't like it. I guess Bleach was way ahead of its time in the shonen genre.
Its really ironic right like Bleach was also criticized for having moments of being "generic" at times (no matter how Bleach is my favourite I can really recognize few-some clichés), then when Bleach finally gave a new twist and blend in the story which was the Fullbringer Arc they hated it more like isn't this what people want, a new blend of creativity and uniqueness in the story especially among shounen series
My favorite part is when ishida arrived and ichigo thinks he is also maniplulated by tsukishima, and then ishida screams "what are you doing, kurosaki? the man who attacked me... is right behind you!" such a great way to reveal ginjo's true colors and the twist of this arc
I maybe subjective but I relly like this arc because He reminds me the Shinobu Sensui arc from YuYu Hakusho. And because we finaly know where Orihime and Chad power came And the twist with Ginjo was pretty good
Fullbring arc felt like the first few episodes, slow paced but also presents a lot of struggles, Ichigo is powerless he can't protect his loved ones and his mind crumbles, just as he though he got strong again Ginjo took away his powers thus getting rid of Ichigo's only hope for protecting everyone he cares about. It really shows how Ichigo cares about his friends and family over all
At least we can all agree, that Ichigo vs Ginjo was well animated fight. Looking forward for the type of animation The Thousand Year Blood War will have. NANI?! Tekking!
For me this arc was a mixed bag. I don’t hate it, but I don’t really love it either. I loved how it started off as a reboot and Ichigo had to work to restore his powers. I loved Sado and Orihime revealing they have been training for 17 months to support Ichigo so they wouldn’t fall behind when he got his powers back. Ginjo’s plot is good, especially sewing doubt within Ichigo about Urahara, because Urahara is shady and Ichigo has no idea if Urahara helped him stop Aizen because he is a good person or because he had his own evil plans that Aizen disrupted. The End of Bonds chapters to me are the best chapters in the arc. Seeing Ichigo gradually lose it as Tsukishima turned his family and friends against him was horrifying and heart wrenching at the same time. Riruka was great character and I liked her interactions with Orihime and Ichigo. However, for me this arc has a disappointing end, which is when Bleach returned to the big fights. I felt like Orihime and Sado were sidelined yet again. It really bothered me because in this arc we had both of them state they trained for 17 months to help Ichigo when his powers returned, yet weren't allowed to follow through in the same arc. I would have preferred that after Rukia and the other shinigami came in and explained things that we saw Sado and Orihime were able to fight alongside everyone else and stop the Fullbringers in similar fashion that Byakuya did. That while Book of End gave them new memories that they were able to keep fighting because their bonds and trust in Ichigo over Tsukishima just like Byakuya did. It felt wrong to me that they got sidelined in an arc focused on human antagonists in favor for the shinigami coming in to do everything. It felt like natural conclusion to their stories in this arc should have been them fighting alongside Ichigo. I do get that Rukia and the others coming in was to symbolize Ichigo’s bond with them was real and show us just how much Ichigo has changed the Soul Society, but I feel like we could have still had that message if both Ichigo’s shinigami friends and human friends fought side by side to help Ichigo. I liked the element of the Xcution being lost people who felt alienated from the world, but I felt like more could have been done with that. Riruka and Jackie had great backstories and could understand how they felt alienated. Giriko and Yukio I felt like I needed more from them. I really wasn’t a fan of Giriko’s true personality just being another loud mouth braggart who got drunk on power. I would have liked to see how killing his wife just to see if he could then trying to stop it played into his character more in his actual fight as short as it was. I felt there was something good there that was left out just so he could try to overpower Zaraki. This arc has a lot of great elements to it, but there are also some things I didn’t like and felt could have been better. It felt like as soon as we needed climax Bleach returned to fights and it left me wanting more with some characters and stories. I felt immensely cheated that we only got a panel of Ginjo saving a young Tsukishima instead of getting into that backstory in this arc. For me it made less sense to leave that backstory out of this arc and I felt it was essential for me to understanding their characters and bond. Even when I reread this arc now something still feels missing. I would gladly trade in some of the fights with the Xcution to have gotten some of that backstory in this arc. Edit: Despite my complaints I still feel this arc was needed and essential to the story and characters. I never agreed with the people who said this arc was wasted time.
exactly my toughts on fullbring arc, i wanted more of emotional investment with the new characters and a better development with ichigo's friends, with some nostalgic or coming of age feeling. i think the shonen formula in the last part ruined some of the experience, but the concept of the arc was good.
When I first watch Bleach it was the fullbring arc when I first watched it was so crazy because I never seen animation like this how the main character was acting crazy and I didn't understand why he got stabbed and after he got power and defeat a ginjo I wanted more but it was over and I was like what? lucky enough I actually watched all of bleach anime and read the Thousand-Year blood War and now bleach is my favorite anime/manga of all time
No matter what you think of the fullbringer arc, the moment Rukia appears to save Ichigo was one of the most emotional and beautiful moments in the franchise.
I hope that eventually death save the strawberry gets an english translation. The translated summaroes ive read makes it sound like it would be really good.
I've come to appreciate this arc a lot more on rewatches. I honestly prefer the arc in the anime tbh. My one big gripe though is not getting that Ginjo and Tsukishima backstory. I was hoping Kubo would find a way to add it into the final arc, but the Fullbringers just had so little relevance in it. Hopefully the anime can fix that.
I also think its really good. Its bad that it was the arc that literally damaged bleach so much until the final arc came out. Im glad it came but i also think it did affected bleach given how the audience everywhere recieved it
I remember watching the fulbring arc and just feeling sad for ichigo when he couldn't do anything and then like ichigo I got excited when he found there was some way for him to get his powers back
The fullbring arc is personally my 2nd favourite bleach arc It has drama , nice plot twists , not repetitive, and has a well done climax Idk why people hate this?
Instead of giving his Shinigami powers back Tite should have let his Quincy powers awaken after the Fullbring power got stolen, that could have set the stage for the next arc perfectly kinda like "Ichigo: Wait Quincy powers? why do i have them?" or something like that.
I think the story could’ve very well ended after the Aizen arc. Imo it would’ve been a more fitting conclusion to the story than we eventually got, but maybe my opinion on that will change when the anime adaptation of the war arc concludes as Kubo is going to work with the team to better flesh out the ending. With all that being said, the fullbring arc deserves nowhere near the amount of flack it gets. I genuinely don’t understand the hate. It follows a very different structure than the rest of the arcs, which is a GOOD thing, and yet people will criticize bleach for its repetitive nature while also disregarding the fullbring arc entirely, which doesn’t make sense. Ichigo getting stabbed from behind and thinking even his own father had betrayed him and breaking down emotionally, to then seeing rukia there giving his powers back? One of the hypest moments ever.
Bleach has a way of making it's audience feel a character's sense of despair and that moment in the fullbringer arc when ichigo walks into his house and sees all his friends being friendly with the enemy after having their memories altered was one of the greatest despair moments in all of bleach
I really liked this arc. It tells that there are important things happening to the characters when they are by themselves, they don't need external things to make the situation interesting. I think it's an interesting quality of Bleach that is not common in Shounen. For example let's say that Naruto, Luffy, Goku, or another character is not fighting. We see that we don't really care for the characters, but rather what's happening around the characters. Bleach on the other hand is much more introspective and has been since the first episodes. This is one of the reason why I love Bleach so much. It's as if it's adding it's own dimension to what stories usually have.
The one arc that went back to basics and got the atmosphere and scary, mysterious tone back. Everybody hates, it, my favorite arc next to the released sword spirit arc.
This is what I was saying for years.. The fullbring arc is awesome! When I first saw it I was like, I have no idea what people are complaining about.. i enjoyed every minute of it, the only complaint I had was that I simply wanted more lol.. The ending felt a little rushed, you can clearly see that kubo had to rap it up because of people's complaints, and I would've loved if chad had a little more to do. Baside that, this arc is definitely underrated!
What i loved about the arc was that for once ichigo couldn't fight with his blade or knuckles. He had to fight mentally,i absolutely loved how everybody he knew betrayed him with tsukishimas power and i expected it to last longer than it did so that ichigo could go lonely and more mature. Was dissopointed with hopw ichigo was like :oh, his power is gone we okay now. I am gonna act like what you did to me (betrayal by powers )didn't matter. I would absolutely love if he broke up his connections to his friends and family or struggle to trust them for a while because of the PTSD that kind of shit would give to a human being.
This arc is one of my favorites and I noticed for the first time I was interested in each episode unlike prior arcs where there was episodes/ parts that I was bored in and uninterested in, this one had me wanting to watch each episode
I always liked the arc though, I admit I didn't look at it as deeply as this, I did know some of this on my own. Thanks for making this video and giving me a deeper appreciation and love of this arc.
Fullbring arc was probably one of the most thoughtful. It wasn’t action packed but tbh anyone who saw bleach as just people having epic sword fights is wrong. It’s an anime about plot. The whole anime has a TON of foreshadowing. Ichigo being a Quincy was hinted at before Quincy had been introduced. Literally he has a Quincy cross on his bedsheets. Look at it.
The Fullbring Arc reminds me very much of the Chapter Black Saga from Yu Yu Hakusho! With that said I LOVED the Fullbring Arc! It completely redeemed the overall lackluster storyline for me! The Fullbring Arc is #1 for me in terms of story. Soul Society is still #1 for al the fights and intro to the Soul Societ though!
A bit unrelated, but anyone know why Retro Ryno hasn't been uploading in a while? I know he said he wouldn't be upset if the anime was announced to return but he hasn't made a video about it or about anything in a long time.
This along with turn back the pendulum was the most impactful arcs. Completely changed my perspective on how I viewed the Soul Society. Solidified that soul society is really messed up and there's no good guys anywhere. Gave more meaning to Aizen's plan.
To me it’s a reflection on how the real world is. There is no perfect system anywhere, and if we pull back the covers we’ll find stuff that we never realized was there. Ichigo loves the people in the soul society so that’s why he stays. He knows they aren’t bad. It’s the system in place that is
I always loved that arc, one of my favorites, but I never had the ability to look in as deep as that. I thought about basically everything that revolved around Ichigo's feelings, just not exactly everything else. I watched it before I got immersed in the internet, and I thought everyone would love that arc too. I never thought it wouldn't be well received. Hell, it's basically the only arc I rewatched. The only other things I've ever rewatched in Bleach was the episodes with Ichigo's pivotal fights. I can't wait for the final arc, except it's ending. That's the only part I'm not looking forward to.
I liked this arc because to me it was soft reboot arc, because it was leveling both story and fight scenes together. Before this it was mostly battle after battle. The same story writing played out in quincy blood war with some backstory to masaki kurosaki Edited: also I dont count ulquiorria death by ichigo hands, yes ichigo body was one doing but it was more like natural causes. Where he also claimed that he taken over by hallow 'white' in it's full form so it doesnt really count. Ginjo is first character he has killed on the show directly.
It gave a nice backstory on chads powers and where they came from, but I knew once the soul reapers would show up that the fullbringers would get shit on cause on how strong the soul reapers are except tsukishima but the rest seemed like they would be weaker
Been telling ppl this for YEARS! My man Kubo know what he was doing, tyimg up alot of loose ends and bringing things full circle. Fulbring was one of my favorite arcs TBH
When I watched anime I was never part of the ”community” so often I formed my own genuine opinions about things.

And the twist with Ginjo was pretty good
jaymes and tekking in the same video about BLEACH, damn maybe there is hope for 2020, regardless, loved the video
Fullbring arc Artstyle is amazing
Fullbring arc felt like the first few episodes, slow paced but also presents a lot of struggles, Ichigo is powerless he can't protect his loved ones and his mind crumbles, just as he though he got strong again Ginjo took away his powers thus getting rid of Ichigo's only hope for protecting everyone he cares about. It really shows how Ichigo cares about his friends and family over all
first
also totally agree, it is just sad how people just blowed up on that arc and took it quite the wrong way on many levels sadly
At least we can all agree, that Ichigo vs Ginjo was well animated fight.
Looking forward for the type of animation The Thousand Year Blood War will have.
NANI?! Tekking!
If it's anything close to the last filler arc, it'd be great. In terms of directing that is.
Go away toxic troll
@@terrarionaqu5262 what happened b/w u 2?
For me this arc was a mixed bag. I don’t hate it, but I don’t really love it either. I loved how it started off as a reboot and Ichigo had to work to restore his powers. I loved Sado and Orihime revealing they have been training for 17 months to support Ichigo so they wouldn’t fall behind when he got his powers back. Ginjo’s plot is good, especially sewing doubt within Ichigo about Urahara, because Urahara is shady and Ichigo has no idea if Urahara helped him stop Aizen because he is a good person or because he had his own evil plans that Aizen disrupted. The End of Bonds chapters to me are the best chapters in the arc. Seeing Ichigo gradually lose it as Tsukishima turned his family and friends against him was horrifying and heart wrenching at the same time. Riruka was great character and I liked her interactions with Orihime and Ichigo.
However, for me this arc has a disappointing end, which is when Bleach returned to the big fights. I felt like Orihime and Sado were sidelined yet again. It really bothered me because in this arc we had both of them state they trained for 17 months to help Ichigo when his powers returned, yet weren't allowed to follow through in the same arc. I would have preferred that after Rukia and the other shinigami came in and explained things that we saw Sado and Orihime were able to fight alongside everyone else and stop the Fullbringers in similar fashion that Byakuya did. That while Book of End gave them new memories that they were able to keep fighting because their bonds and trust in Ichigo over Tsukishima just like Byakuya did. It felt wrong to me that they got sidelined in an arc focused on human antagonists in favor for the shinigami coming in to do everything. It felt like natural conclusion to their stories in this arc should have been them fighting alongside Ichigo.
I do get that Rukia and the others coming in was to symbolize Ichigo’s bond with them was real and show us just how much Ichigo has changed the Soul Society, but I feel like we could have still had that message if both Ichigo’s shinigami friends and human friends fought side by side to help Ichigo. I liked the element of the Xcution being lost people who felt alienated from the world, but I felt like more could have been done with that. Riruka and Jackie had great backstories and could understand how they felt alienated. Giriko and Yukio I felt like I needed more from them. I really wasn’t a fan of Giriko’s true personality just being another loud mouth braggart who got drunk on power. I would have liked to see how killing his wife just to see if he could then trying to stop it played into his character more in his actual fight as short as it was. I felt there was something good there that was left out just so he could try to overpower Zaraki.
This arc has a lot of great elements to it, but there are also some things I didn’t like and felt could have been better. It felt like as soon as we needed climax Bleach returned to fights and it left me wanting more with some characters and stories. I felt immensely cheated that we only got a panel of Ginjo saving a young Tsukishima instead of getting into that backstory in this arc. For me it made less sense to leave that backstory out of this arc and I felt it was essential for me to understanding their characters and bond. Even when I reread this arc now something still feels missing. I would gladly trade in some of the fights with the Xcution to have gotten some of that backstory in this arc.
Edit: Despite my complaints I still feel this arc was needed and essential to the story and characters. I never agreed with the people who said this arc was wasted time.
exactly my toughts on fullbring arc, i wanted more of emotional investment with the new characters and a better development with ichigo's friends, with some nostalgic or coming of age feeling.
i think the shonen formula in the last part ruined some of the experience, but the concept of the arc was good.
When I first watch Bleach it was the fullbring arc when I first watched it was so crazy because I never seen animation like this how the main character was acting crazy and I didn't understand why he got stabbed and after he got power and defeat a ginjo I wanted more but it was over and I was like what? lucky enough I actually watched all of bleach anime and read the Thousand-Year blood War and now bleach is my favorite anime/manga of all time
Glad to see you back after a short hiatus bro. And with a cameo from Tekking none the less.
FINALLY!!!! They have finally collaborated on Bleach together. I've been waiting forever for this to happen
No matter what you think of the fullbringer arc, the moment Rukia appears to save Ichigo was one of the most emotional and beautiful moments in the franchise.
I hope that eventually death save the strawberry gets an english translation. The translated summaroes ive read makes it sound like it would be really good.
I've come to appreciate this arc a lot more on rewatches. I honestly prefer the arc in the anime tbh. My one big gripe though is not getting that Ginjo and Tsukishima backstory. I was hoping Kubo would find a way to add it into the final arc, but the Fullbringers just had so little relevance in it. Hopefully the anime can fix that.
Have you read the novels?
I also think its really good. Its bad that it was the arc that literally damaged bleach so much until the final arc came out. Im glad it came but i also think it did affected bleach given how the audience everywhere recieved it
Thank you for making this video I think so too
I remember watching the fulbring arc and just feeling sad for ichigo when he couldn't do anything and then like ichigo I got excited when he found there was some way for him to get his powers back
The fullbring arc is personally my 2nd favourite bleach arc
It has drama , nice plot twists , not repetitive, and has a well done climax
Idk why people hate this?
What's the first ?
Instead of giving his Shinigami powers back Tite should have let his Quincy powers awaken after the Fullbring power got stolen, that could have set the stage for the next arc perfectly kinda like "Ichigo: Wait Quincy powers? why do i have them?" or something like that.
Personally the arc i rewatch the most, because it's captures perfectly what bleach is
I think the story could’ve very well ended after the Aizen arc. Imo it would’ve been a more fitting conclusion to the story than we eventually got, but maybe my opinion on that will change when the anime adaptation of the war arc concludes as Kubo is going to work with the team to better flesh out the ending. With all that being said, the fullbring arc deserves nowhere near the amount of flack it gets. I genuinely don’t understand the hate. It follows a very different structure than the rest of the arcs, which is a GOOD thing, and yet people will criticize bleach for its repetitive nature while also disregarding the fullbring arc entirely, which doesn’t make sense. Ichigo getting stabbed from behind and thinking even his own father had betrayed him and breaking down emotionally, to then seeing rukia there giving his powers back? One of the hypest moments ever.
Bleach has a way of making it's audience feel a character's sense of despair and that moment in the fullbringer arc when ichigo walks into his house and sees all his friends being friendly with the enemy after having their memories altered was one of the greatest despair moments in all of bleach
Good to see you back Handson !! :D :D keep the vids coming
I really liked this arc. It tells that there are important things happening to the characters when they are by themselves, they don't need external things to make the situation interesting. I think it's an interesting quality of Bleach that is not common in Shounen. For example let's say that Naruto, Luffy, Goku, or another character is not fighting. We see that we don't really care for the characters, but rather what's happening around the characters. Bleach on the other hand is much more introspective and has been since the first episodes. This is one of the reason why I love Bleach so much. It's as if it's adding it's own dimension to what stories usually have.
Tekking101 is like so formal I didn't even recognize him lol
I loved the Fullbring arc. Honestly, more than most arcs of Bleach. I'd honestly love to run storylines with just the concept of fullbring
This is one of the most needed videos on bleach, forreal, I been waiting on a full bring appreciation video,now we just need a orihime respect video
Great video, man!
Best animation in the whole series as well. Fuckin mint. Tybw better look like it or better!
The one arc that went back to basics and got the atmosphere and scary, mysterious tone back. Everybody hates, it, my favorite arc next to the released sword spirit arc.
This is what I was saying for years..
The fullbring arc is awesome!
When I first saw it I was like, I have no idea what people are complaining about.. i enjoyed every minute of it, the only complaint I had was that I simply wanted more lol..
The ending felt a little rushed, you can clearly see that kubo had to rap it up because of people's complaints, and I would've loved if chad had a little more to do.
Baside that, this arc is definitely underrated!
James and Tekking , LETS GOOOO 🔥🔥
I always imagined a Alternative Universe where Ichigo feels betrayed by soul Society and rebels against them, It would be crazy
It's a good day when there's new Bleach content!
I recently watched it for the first time and thought it was maybe the number 2 or 3 arc so far. Its just amazing. Don't understand why people hate it
Absolutely loved the Fullbring arc.
Finally! People giving respect to Bleach again. I'm home 😭
I loved the fullbring arc
shit hit hard af watching as a 19 year old feeling lost in the world.
I always loved this arc and couldn't understand why other people hated it.
Now I understand that they are dumb.
The full bring arc was great a perfect transition to the next big wave.
the fullbring arc has always been my favorite arc and now this just made me love it even more
Yooooo tekking and jaymes!!! What a banger of a video!!!🔥🔥💯💯💯💯💯 good stuff !!
What i loved about the arc was that for once ichigo couldn't fight with his blade or knuckles. He had to fight mentally,i absolutely loved how everybody he knew betrayed him with tsukishimas power and i expected it to last longer than it did so that ichigo could go lonely and more mature. Was dissopointed with hopw ichigo was like :oh, his power is gone we okay now. I am gonna act like what you did to me (betrayal by powers )didn't matter. I would absolutely love if he broke up his connections to his friends and family or struggle to trust them for a while because of the PTSD that kind of shit would give to a human being.
Great vid my guy 👌 I like the the perspective
I fucking love the both of you and it was so awesome to see you both collab with The Masked Man on the review series 😊
This arc is one of my favorites and I noticed for the first time I was interested in each episode unlike prior arcs where there was episodes/ parts that I was bored in and uninterested in, this one had me wanting to watch each episode
Bruhhhhhh bleach’s idea of releasing the 1000 year blood arc is hella 200 IQ. 8 years or sum shit? Hellaaaa 200 IQ
To be honest the fullbring arc is probably my favorite arc in Bleach. I loved the ending and it was very much fitting for the final arc of the series.
It's not the final arc of the series.
@@Grognack he means when the anime was canceled
@@mikesmith145 How do you know? He didn't say "final arc of the anime", he said "final arc of the series."
fullbring arc is one of the best bleach arcs and i love it🔥🔥🔥
Thank you for this video I need that
I never got why people hated the Fullbringer Arc so much, I'm glad that people are giving Bleach more love!!
I always liked the arc though, I admit I didn't look at it as deeply as this, I did know some of this on my own. Thanks for making this video and giving me a deeper appreciation and love of this arc.
Fullbring arc was probably one of the most thoughtful. It wasn’t action packed but tbh anyone who saw bleach as just people having epic sword fights is wrong. It’s an anime about plot. The whole anime has a TON of foreshadowing. Ichigo being a Quincy was hinted at before Quincy had been introduced. Literally he has a Quincy cross on his bedsheets. Look at it.
Loved the video very much. Thanks Jaymes
Man we desperately need a BLEACH competitive fighting game ASAP! I hope it gets announced soon.
Was shocked to hear Tekking here~ But impressed aswell
I remember when the first time jaymes and tekking collaborated, that was so long ago
The Fullbring Arc reminds me very much of the Chapter Black Saga from Yu Yu Hakusho! With that said I LOVED the Fullbring Arc! It completely redeemed the overall lackluster storyline for me! The Fullbring Arc is #1 for me in terms of story. Soul Society is still #1 for al the fights and intro to the Soul Societ though!
A bit unrelated, but anyone know why Retro Ryno hasn't been uploading in a while? I know he said he wouldn't be upset if the anime was announced to return but he hasn't made a video about it or about anything in a long time.
I missed ma boi's video!
Best Bleachtuber!
Great with the bleach discussion hope with more videos in the video
I'm so glad tekking was featured in this video
This along with turn back the pendulum was the most impactful arcs. Completely changed my perspective on how I viewed the Soul Society. Solidified that soul society is really messed up and there's no good guys anywhere. Gave more meaning to Aizen's plan.
To me it’s a reflection on how the real world is. There is no perfect system anywhere, and if we pull back the covers we’ll find stuff that we never realized was there. Ichigo loves the people in the soul society so that’s why he stays. He knows they aren’t bad. It’s the system in place that is
@@camcam794 have you read the novels cuz I don't want to spoil if you didn't?
@@Castiel_01x I haven't yet. Almost finished with the last arc.
@@camcam794 got it. Once you get fully caught up you'll understand where my perspective is coming from.
@@Castiel_01x just ordered the first 2 novels. When I finish them I'll definitely come back lol thanks for not spoiling it!
I always loved that arc, one of my favorites, but I never had the ability to look in as deep as that. I thought about basically everything that revolved around Ichigo's feelings, just not exactly everything else.
I watched it before I got immersed in the internet, and I thought everyone would love that arc too. I never thought it wouldn't be well received.
Hell, it's basically the only arc I rewatched. The only other things I've ever rewatched in Bleach was the episodes with Ichigo's pivotal fights. I can't wait for the final arc, except it's ending. That's the only part I'm not looking forward to.
FB arc should have been expanded on specifically in regards to the types of powers Chad, Tatsuki and Orihime had
I really enjoyed this arc and completely agree with you. Great video.
I fuckin’ love this video!!
I'm surprised you didn't touch up on that bit about Karin hinted at becoming a soul reaper in the manga parts.
Man bleach just has some amazing ass soundtracks
I liked this arc because to me it was soft reboot arc, because it was leveling both story and fight scenes together. Before this it was mostly battle after battle. The same story writing played out in quincy blood war with some backstory to masaki kurosaki
Edited: also I dont count ulquiorria death by ichigo hands, yes ichigo body was one doing but it was more like natural causes. Where he also claimed that he taken over by hallow 'white' in it's full form so it doesnt really count. Ginjo is first character he has killed on the show directly.
It gave a nice backstory on chads powers and where they came from, but I knew once the soul reapers would show up that the fullbringers would get shit on cause on how strong the soul reapers are except tsukishima but the rest seemed like they would be weaker
I loved the fullbring arc. Fullbring ichigo is my favorite ichigo
Been telling ppl this for YEARS! My man Kubo know what he was doing, tyimg up alot of loose ends and bringing things full circle. Fulbring was one of my favorite arcs TBH
