I remember watching this episode for the first time about two years ago thinking chad might’ve had a chance because he was apart of the main character squad, despite knowing the captain was obviously stronger. Then I found out the captain was strong enough to kill the primera espada without even using Bankai
Bro lost the moment he stepped into 8th Squad barracks. He didn't hesitate to put everything on the line and sacrifice for the sake of his friends. I'm happy he met this kind man instead of someone who'd take his life.
I guessed Ukitake and Shunsui ..reserved Inchigo Kurosaki name as new captain 10...replacing Toshiro.......and finding a way that Inchigo able to skip the Vice captain...level....cuz his dad Isshin was Captain 10 before Toshiro
So incredibly unlucky to be faced off with one of the strongest Captains…. And yet, so fortunate that he got the Captain who’s the most passive, merciful and easy going in regards to his responsibilities….

So he was serious when he said Chad could hurt him otherwise he wouldnt draw his swords. So yes he does pointless stuff but he never does stuff not neccessary.

Rewatching this arc and realised Shunsui really was the perfect choice for captain commander of the Gotei 13. The way he handled everything he came across during this arc was perfect, and had all the characteristics of a great leader. He might not be as powerful as Yamaji was, but he's a much better leader for sure.
Ukitake would also have been a decent pick if he wasn't so damn sickly. The guy calls other captains by their first names and actually takes time to get to know his subordinates. He's also very honorable. In fact, those 2 and maybe current unohana wouldve been great picks.

If I ask you the same question but for Frieza and let's say in place of Chad is Raditz do you think the numbers is going to make a difference? When you are so strong you are one shouting every single Chad bro😂😂😂
To be completely fair to Chad: I don't think anyone in the party would have stood a chance against Shunsui. MAYBE Yoruichi, but even then I'm putting my money on Shunsui. Chad was basically a level 20 fighting a level 80.
I love how he is so casual and has no hard feelings towards anyone, even in battle. He has no ego, as if he realises that nothing is significant and this world is a stage and we are all actors here.
@@unknownuser4816 well Ishida had his spotlight in every arc. Especially TYBW for obvious reasons. Orihime technically has feats, but she never seems to be more than a plot device. Chad.. is just tragic. Even in an arc where he gets a big power boost, he jobs 5 seconds after getting a minor W.
In his favor, Chad was close to like lieutenant level at this point. He probably would have lost to the big ones, like Kira, Hisagi etc But others like Momo, would have lost against Chad. Dude was a powerhouse.
@@unknownuser4816at least orihime did something even if it's not much, Uryu is doing a lot within the current arc which is tybw. Chad is just sad to watch
At the time when making this, I don't think Kubo even thought out this far that would make Kyoraku the future head-captain, the same guy who fought Lille Barro.
Back in the day where I was thinking maybe Chad has a chance at beating him since ichigo and uryu beated kenpachi/mayuri at this point until i realize later on as the series went on that not only is Koryaku a future head captain far stronger then chad but chad just simply lost every single fight hes ever been in except at least 1.. I miss those times where I didn't know who shunsui was and thought Chad was strong
@@coldman112 lol do you really think that they can servive his bankai ? i knew urahara bankai and also have info that ishin bankai is sooo strong ( they didn't show ) but still they can't came close to the gigachad kyoraku
Nobody sleep on chad for even the attempt to take on shunsui. Dude is a monster without even weilding his shikai, chad was brave to face him in battle.
@@mictianfollower2644 this point chad can take a 3rd seat (admittedly a retarded one but) an LT is around x5 stronger and a Captain x10 the LT. SO x50 plus its a duelie so make it x55 to be safe. Chad getting in a sneak attack at end of bringer arc MIGHT have hurt him.
Keep in mind throughout the story Shunsui didn’t get a power boost. The power he has here is the same power he had when he faced Lille. Chad was f*cked before the fight even began
Let's be real, Chad stood no chance against any captain. Most of them wouldn't have even needed Shikai against him. Any Bankai would have absolutely destroyed him.
A samurai in truest form, he was not in danger from chad and tried to resolve the matter with a diplomacy check. When accosted by the human instead of one shoting him he allowed Chad to see how outmatched he was and allowed him again to withdraw. Chad finally soent was defeated by one non fatal blow because of his genteel nature and willingness to get info without a ton of torture.
All that while probably thinking "Ah, I miss that youthful, reckless energy" Then he proceeds to teach the young man a lesson he learned as he became an older man.
I always thought shunsui was supposed to be the Jiraiya or Roshi But what his character was set up is just insanely good and makes sense at the end of the day...
By shunsui's first appearance i thought he might be a weak guy and assumed chad might defeat him, later i got know that he is strongest captain in bleach💀🥶
Not the strongest. Yama, Aizen, Unohana and arguably Gin are stronger. When he became Head Captain, Kenpachi, Byakuya and arguably Toshiro were stronger.
@@SunlightGwynat this stage nobody except Yamamoto is stronger than shunsui In tybw only Aizen and yama is stronger than shunsui And in cfyow shunsui is most likely the strongest
@@tabibhassan3376 Aizen literally defeated Shunsui in base along with Soifon, Toshiro, Rose, Love, Lisa and Komamura at the same time. Aizen is way stronger than Shunsui. Yamamoto and Aizen are the strongest and distant third place is Unohana then Shunsui and Gin are fourth and fifth strongest.
Still remember seeing this way back in the day and thinking Chad had a chance 😂 little did I know how he got one of the strongest people in the whole show to face.
Reading this for the first time in the manga I just had a feeling shunsui was gonna be insanely strong in comparison to the other captains they had introduced at that point
Everyone is saying that Chad is lucky to have faced Shunsui, but I actually think there's more captains who would have taken him alive than ones who would have killed him. Most of the captains aren't sadistic and either for practical reasons (to question him) or just out of mercy because he's not a threat to them probably wouldn't have killed him. Even Kenpachi would probably decide he's not worth killing, and Mayuri would probably keep him alive to study (which would probably be worse than death, actually...)
Idk, byakuya might not have, in ordet to follow orders to detain them for questioning. Depends on circumstances, I dont think they instructed anyone to kill the ryoka but I dont remember. The wolf dude might have recognized his valor for stepping up to the challenge and might have let him go as well tho truly we can only speculate
In Chad's defense, he's probably the single strongest human in the series. He bested a Privaron Espada before he even trained with Xcution. None of the Xcution members were capable of that feat before stealing Ichigo's powers.
@@Jared-ww6ndtrue, but there's also itadori in jjk when they're fighting the old man with inverse ct where he's screaming while lifting a car but didn't even open his mouth 😂
Shunsui cannot beat all of the Espada at once. Only Aizen and Yama could do that. Shunsui would need Bankai just to beat Stark in a one on one fight. He needed 3 other Captains to defeat Stark with his Shikai. Shunsui could win against any individual Espada member with his Bankai though.
His entrance was so smooth, but you cut out the best part of it when he yelled for Nanao to stop throwing the petals. Then she tossed the plate down at his head 😂
When i first watch Bleach as a kid I used to hate Shunsui probably because of his pink outfit and because he seemed boring to watch but years laters now as an adult he’s one of my favorite Captains in Bleach he kinda gives me Jiraya vibes sometimes.
Still remember watching this initially and thinking "ok, he's a captain so he's obviously stronger but I think Chad can put up a fight.. at least survive." LMAO bro got unlucky fighting the king but also lucky fighting a kind king at the same time lol.
If only Chad knew, he was with the one captain who he can talk it out without fighting and he could possibly help them right there if he can plead his case well.
The closest character I can think of, in terms of personality and status, is Admiral Aokiji in One piece. Both are very merciful and kind to their enemies. Imagine if Chad faced Kenpanchi (more like Akainu) or Gin (more like Kizaru). The only difference is that Aokiji is not the strongest among admirals while Shunsui is actually strongest captain after Yamamoto.
Shunsui drew his swords assign of respect, because Chad said he was trying to save Rukia because Ichigo wanted to. That's the point where Shunsui stopped trying to get Chad to run sway.
Kyoraku thought chad was the one who killed Aizen but realised hmthey were only there to save their friend,and also he was the one with Ukitake to think its ws Aizens plan
It would have been amazing that after this kyoraku and chad develop a master student relationship and chat becomes a bit stronger. But we can only hope
The first time I was watching this battle I was like : Chad can do this. If everyone could I don't see why not him. Then as I continued the series I realized that he didn't have a chance 😅
Shunsui did not look super strong in this. When he first appeared, I thought he was just an above average captain below Kenpachi's level. Just someone who was nice and good enough. Never knew he was a monster that was playing around with Chad.
There's actually not that many Captains that would have killed Chad. Soifon, Zaraki and Mayuri would kill him but Yamamoto has shown mercy on weak opponents like with the Tres Bestia Fraccions of Harribel. Gin probably wouldn't kill him, he would just do enough damage to take him out of the fight. Same with Aizen, Byakuya, Komamura, Kaname, Toshiro, and Ukitake. Unohana wouldn't even fight him unless he defeated Isane. And she would probably use some Kido to take him out without killing him.
@@SunlightGwynzaraki might be crazy but he's actually quite merciful to opponents he respected. sure he instakilled some of the quincies but they were out for blood in the first place and didn't satisfy his fighting itch
How? He beat Lille in his volstandig, that form afterwards was a soul king ywach upgrade. Lille lost in his volstandig, if anything plot saved him with that random owl form after his neck was cut. Lille in his base form beat 0 squad members. I mean it really isn’t a deus ex machina, from the start of the series nanao walked around without a zanpaktou, there is a background for it since the ss arc.
I mean you battle against future captain commander.The only weakness Shunsui have is he have normal body comapare to Unohana or yamamoto or zaraki where all of them have very tough body.
I remember watching this episode for the first time about two years ago thinking chad might’ve had a chance because he was apart of the main character squad, despite knowing the captain was obviously stronger.

If it wasn't for the fact Chad was wearing the golden necklace which weigh about 10 tons and is supressing his reiatsu, he would've won.
A captain so strong he had to wait for the final arc of the series before trying.
chad is such a chad, dude headed into the worst and best scenario at the same time wtf
Dont know if hes lucky or unlucky everyone outside of shunsui, ukitaka and maybe unohana probably would've killed him.
Idk, byakuya might not have, in ordet to follow orders to detain them for questioning. Depends on circumstances, I dont think they instructed anyone to kill the ryoka but I dont remember. The wolf dude might have recognized his valor for stepping up to the challenge and might have let him go as well tho truly we can only speculate
Why would Ukitake kill Chad? isn't he the most tame out of all the captains
@@theoriginalman9426 I said hes probably one of the only 3 that would not have killed him.
@@williamdavis5711 Nah if anything, literally anyone from the captains squad could kill Chad
@@theoriginalman9426 they could all easily kill him the 3 I listed are the most likely not to though.
Remember when fights like this had us thinking Chad had actual potential? Good times, good times.
In Chad's defense, he's probably the single strongest human in the series. He bested a Privaron Espada before he even trained with Xcution. None of the Xcution members were capable of that feat before stealing Ichigo's powers.
Poor chad.. facing one of the strongest captain among the captain.. he had zero chance of winning.. at least he's spared..
1:12 his mouth not even open when hes yelling lol
LMAO i forgot about that, it cracked me up when the episode aired
He was thinking
Classic 2000s animation 🥴🤣
@@Jared-ww6ndtrue, but there's also itadori in jjk when they're fighting the old man with inverse ct where he's screaming while lifting a car but didn't even open his mouth 😂
Chad fought someone that could wipe The whole espada if he wanted too 💀
Yeah, but that's the thing with Kyoraku, he doesn't want to do anything
Starrk literally one shot shunsui
@@theceoofracism4718he is base shunsui victim
Shunsui cannot beat all of the Espada at once. Only Aizen and Yama could do that. Shunsui would need Bankai just to beat Stark in a one on one fight. He needed 3 other Captains to defeat Stark with his Shikai. Shunsui could win against any individual Espada member with his Bankai though.
@@SunlightGwyn Dude read his post again.. he never said anything about him beating them all at once.. He just said he could beat them all.
His entrance was so smooth, but you cut out the best part of it when he yelled for Nanao to stop throwing the petals. Then she tossed the plate down at his head 😂
Shunsui showing Chad who the real Chad is rofl
When i first watch Bleach as a kid I used to hate Shunsui probably because of his pink outfit and because he seemed boring to watch but years laters now as an adult he’s one of my favorite Captains in Bleach he kinda gives me Jiraya vibes sometimes.
Chad was both the luckiest mf and the unluckiest mf. Chillest captain. Turns out he's too OP
Still remember watching this initially and thinking "ok, he's a captain so he's obviously stronger but I think Chad can put up a fight.. at least survive."
LMAO bro got unlucky fighting the king but also lucky fighting a kind king at the same time lol.
Chad stood no chance 😭
at ALL!
even as a Chad fan, i cant argue here. In fact he went easy on the Chadster
Shunsui doesn't look so kind but he is generous XD
The strongest captain (Yamamoto excluded) vs the strongest of the ichigo squad
i dont remember shunsui fighting ganju but alright
@aqilanoop 🤣🤣🤣🤣 maybe kon-sama
If only Chad knew, he was with the one captain who he can talk it out without fighting and he could possibly help them right there if he can plead his case well.
Even Ichigo could not stand à chance against Shunsui, how many times Chad😂😂😂
Me and my sister tripped seeing this for the first time😂 nga took so many Ls we said that we should start a charity called “feel bad for Chad”😂
Man Chad always gets the short end of the stick when facing an opponent. Like every opponents he are 10 times stronger than him.
Chad never loses,
he just doesn't want to win.
Chad is the character of all time.
My man brought out both swords right away , Not even for Stark 😭😭😭
@🃏 chewié 🃏 but wouldn't he be able to recognize how much weaker Chad was ?
I can't imagine chad loosing, chad was holding back against the possibly strongest captain
The closest character I can think of, in terms of personality and status, is Admiral Aokiji in One piece. Both are very merciful and kind to their enemies. Imagine if Chad faced Kenpanchi (more like Akainu) or Gin (more like Kizaru). The only difference is that Aokiji is not the strongest among admirals while Shunsui is actually strongest captain after Yamamoto.
Tammmmnnnn, Chad knows how to safely roll avoiding too much damage to himself
The sound design for the Soul Society Arc was on point!
Shunsui was giving Chad 0.1% of his power here.
The thing I like about this fight is how shunsui Commemorates Chad
Kyoraku using two Katanas against Chad but didn't want to use it against Stark👀
Shunsui drew his swords assign of respect, because Chad said he was trying to save Rukia because Ichigo wanted to. That's the point where Shunsui stopped trying to get Chad to run sway.
@@Wesker349 yeah he tries anything to get chad to just turn back but chad refuses and so shunsui takes it easy on him since he respects him
Chad's def gonna tell his Grandkids he beat the Head of the Gotei 13... 😂😂
Had chad just sipped some tea and talked it out, could’ve gotten a valuable ally much sooner
Kyoraku thought chad was the one who killed Aizen but realised hmthey were only there to save their friend,and also he was the one with Ukitake to think its ws Aizens plan
It would have been amazing that after this kyoraku and chad develop a master student relationship and chat becomes a bit stronger. But we can only hope
Chad: “UUUUAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!”
Chad’s face: 🗿
The first time I was watching this battle I was like : Chad can do this. If everyone could I don't see why not him. Then as I continued the series I realized that he didn't have a chance 😅
i can’t imagine chad ever losing
Especially against Kyoruku
@@amineelfardi4311 stop trolling
Oh sarcasm lol
@@asimhussain8716 yeah he beats all the espadas ass like nothing and got the soul king arm at the end of the series
I can't even imagine chad losing. It's amazing what ai can do these days.
I thought like every other anime chad will win and power up but little did I know 😂😂
Chad got so unlucky, that's like debuting in boxing and your first opponent is Mike Tyson.
nah he got lucky because kyoraku is one of the nicer captains
Chad honestly would've had a better chance if he took Shunsui up on his drinking offer and talked things over.
Shunsui did not look super strong in this. When he first appeared, I thought he was just an above average captain below Kenpachi's level. Just someone who was nice and good enough. Never knew he was a monster that was playing around with Chad.
“I cant even imagine Chad losing”
“I can’t even imagine Chad winning” - Gremmy
What?! I couldn't even imagine Chad losing!
Even Yhwach couldn’t see a future where Chad would lose.
Chad was so lucky to have faced Shunsui.
There's actually not that many Captains that would have killed Chad.
Soifon, Zaraki and Mayuri would kill him but Yamamoto has shown mercy on weak opponents like with the Tres Bestia Fraccions of Harribel. Gin probably wouldn't kill him, he would just do enough damage to take him out of the fight. Same with Aizen, Byakuya, Komamura, Kaname, Toshiro, and Ukitake. Unohana wouldn't even fight him unless he defeated Isane. And she would probably use some Kido to take him out without killing him.
@@SunlightGwynzaraki might be crazy but he's actually quite merciful to opponents he respected. sure he instakilled some of the quincies but they were out for blood in the first place and didn't satisfy his fighting itch
Chad’s screams were so intense that he didn’t even need to open his mouth.
Chad needs to transform into a gigachad to defeat him
I remember growing up watching this 😭😭🔥🫶🏽 take me back pls
To be fair to Chad, Shunsui was able to take on Lille, he stood no chance at all.
Only because of that dumb stupid plot blade.
@@quitepossiblylucky lol no
@@RikkiTikkiTavi290He’s right. Liili Barro is way stronger than Shunsui and only a deux ex Machina blade from Nanao saved him.
How? He beat Lille in his volstandig, that form afterwards was a soul king ywach upgrade. Lille lost in his volstandig, if anything plot saved him with that random owl form after his neck was cut. Lille in his base form beat 0 squad members. I mean it really isn’t a deus ex machina, from the start of the series nanao walked around without a zanpaktou, there is a background for it since the ss arc.
@@quitepossiblylucky
He had used Bankai before Nanao used her sword, and he bullied V1 Lille with it
Chad had his Ichigo moment when first meeting a captain...
I mean you battle against future captain commander.The only weakness Shunsui have is he have normal body comapare to Unohana or yamamoto or zaraki where all of them have very tough body.
normal body? the man got turned into swiss cheese by Lille and still was fast enough to dodge his attacks. His endurance is captain-commander worthy.
poor my bro hahaha but i think he was so lucky to, maybe other captains wouldn't have being kind like Kyoraku
This is the Bleach equivalent of Zoro vs. Mihawk., but it took us much longer to appreciate just how big the gap really was.
Perfect analogy lmao.
I love that Chad is screaming yet his mouth is closed
