As I said Shunsui's philosophy is perfect for his status as Captain Commander. He knows that 'honor' and the 'proper' way to end someone in war is absurd and would rather go for the decapitation strike to end the war, rescuing his side/subordinates. And we see a brighter side to his psyche and capitancy after the war, particularly his cooperation with reformers to bring about true changes to Soul Society for the first time.
He planned for Ichigo to become dismembered as the new Soul King... maybe not exactly, but he expected Ichigo to stay in SS forever despite his family and friends.
Shinsui is that person that’s willing to cross the line between good and evil if it’s needed. I enjoy that as it makes sense during war and it’s realistic.
@@Hupp93 Yes. He knows the real darkness of war at its core, and will not claim to be doing good as he cuts someone down like many other fellow Shinigami do or have convinced themselves.
Yamamoto does the same thing. Yamamoto is more ruthless, decisive and driven than Shunsui. The only differences between the two are that Shunsui is more laid back and that he survived the war.
Shunsui's appointment to Head Captain really was the best decision for his own character, and it was refreshing to see him be willing to make the difficult or "dirty" decisions necessary for the Soul Society's survival, though at the same time I would have liked to have seen what character changes and interesting possibilities might have happened if Central 46 appointed Unohana to be the next Head Captain after Yamamoto, considering her uncontested power among the Gotei 13 and thousand years of experience. Also I wonder how many people will know this is a reupload 😉
Uncontested? She doesn't have uncontested power, over all the other captains. The only person in the gotei 13 that had uncontested power is Yamamoto. There was a huge gulf between him and the rest of the gotei 13.
I think it's safe to say that Unohana was never gonna become a general. It just wasn't in her personality and she was too loyal to Yamamoto and from the moment he died it was obvious she would share his fate willingly.
Shunsui made the decision to free Aizen. Without Aizen, the Soul reapers don't win. He is a pragmatic leader that understands what needs to be done to win. Even if it means upsetting his subordinates.
This brought me back to the fight with Starrk. He asked about Lilinette and in the conversation it almost sounded like he would’ve gut her just to unbalance Starrk’s focus but kept reassuring him that she’s fine because she’s fighting Ukitake. Starrk catches on and immediately calls Lillinette over to fuse because i think he wasn’t sure if Shunsui was gonna casually go over to Ukitake’s fight and gut Lilinette really quick. So he did what he thought was safe for Lilinette and decided to fuse.
Would have been interesting to have the full story behind Ichibei and Yamamoto's interactions in the past 2,000 years ago. Likely after Ichibei took Yhwach's semi complete Almighty (which only could see the past), he probably went to Yamamoto and said "don't lose" and then vanished to the palace above to let Yama lead his band 13 against the LightReich Army.
Shunsui Flexible thinking is what saved the world's, including the Gotei While Yama's old school thinking ended him and got many of his subordinates killed needlessly
Katen Kyokotsu’s ability to alter rules and scripts to suit Shunsui’s needs is very fitting for his pragmatic nature. Just as he is very quick to change coats when one doesn’t fit the situation, or change games completely on the fly. Even going so far as to alter Katen Kyokotsu herself to hide an extra sword - a request she seems happy to have obliged. Pragmatism suits an angel of death very well. And not only does it come naturally to Kyōraku, he also inspires it happily in others.
In terms of leadership alone, I’d say Shinji is probably the best candidate to replace him rn. Not strength wise or anything, but leadership and wisdom. Shinji in this latest episode shows that with his monologue on the responsibilities of the head captain
Would Yamamoto have agreed to sacrifice Ichigo as the new soul king? Unlike Shunsui, he was very much against 'using' the help of humans. I wonder if this openness to tossing aside 'honor' etc could technically open Shunsui to dabble in more 'evil' than Yama (the current one, not the crazy first Gen Yama)
Always wish Unohana had a different story instead of being the 1st kenpachi and was just as op. And she became the head commander. Or at least still alive as the 4th captain. And I wish kenpachi would've found another way by going up to squad zero with Ichigo and Renji to train and faced what was holding him back there
Genryusai was pretty much a bad leader. He couldnt even deal with the Aizen threat. That should have been a simple task at the start of it all before he turned immortal.
I believe yama was the best leader the gotei needed a 1000 yrs ago during an era of turmoil . The old man should have retired like atleast 500 yrs before the main story and let fresh blood lead the current peaceful era . He was wayyy too outdated
@@Crisbellarius Yama got soft. He would have obliterated Aizen if he wanted to, but before he could use his Bankai he was too badly hurt by Aizen's trickery. I suppose Yama still treated Aizen like a son of sorts and counted for his redemption after severe old-school punishment. Later he didn't heal his lost arm and let his guard down.
I think his one flaw was that he was too proud for his own good. He overestimated himself to the point it was too late with Aizen. He refused to get help from others and that's why he never restored his left arm. And to some degree I think he never retired even though he should, because he knew that Juha would become a threat again in future and he wanted to put an end to him all on his own.
This anime is very terrible now. There is no respect for the captains of the soul society anymore. Why because it is just like dragon ball z depends on two people to saved the day ichigo and kenpanchi. No one else matter now.

@ From what I remember, Yamamoto was like that before he built the gotei. He got soft like yach said and cares about rules and how to do things now.
@@Hupp93 Caring about rules didn't stop him from instantly killing enemies. He just did it less I. Old age. He was wiser when killing. Lol

He didn't free Aizen, he loosened up his restraints and counted for him to die in the battle at best scenario.
@@metal87powerquit nitpicking. We all knew what he meant by his comment.

Very good point
Kyoraku is very moderat and lenient.
Due to his family background, he knows that every loss in the world weighs something
laid back personality
Shunsui would have sealed ichigo as the new soul king regretfully if he had to. Let that sink in. That's how realistic bleach is!!
He even personally gaves his friends soul tickets to visit him there should he ever not come back.
@EnmaMusicProduction yea he sure did 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Remember the flashback during Kyouraku and Ukitake's training?
HE'S MERCILESS AND GUILE.
Thats more of a respect/honor thing.

OMg the overhype after 1 episode is crazy
I can only imagine who would be successor: Rukia, Toshiro or .... Byuyakuya.

The perfect Anti~Hero alongside Giorno Giovanna & Deadpool 💚
Many others made for more contributions to the war than mayuri.

He didnt surpassed yamma but he was the best choice

If he were a bad leader Ichigo would be killed or left powerless for the rest of his life.
