Aha! Today's pinned comment; yeah, we know about Szayel and Yylfordt's history according to the light novels. We just have so many issues with the timeline they propose and inconsistencies with the main source material that we don't take it seriously. The light novels do be that way. We'd never claim we say what is and isn't canon, but we *can* choose what information seems congruent with the anime when we work on this series. That aside, thank you so much for weathering this copyright nightmare with us! We're so glad we could finally get this out to everyone.
I felt like you struck the right balance between addressing the supplementary material and glossing over it about as respectfully as the original source material did. Renji drawing attention to its absurdity is a nice little continuity nod should the light novel Granz stuff ever become relevant again.
Imagine irl if someone ran into your house and asked what you were doing in your own home. Then told you to go to hell. Ichigo is rude. You steal someone’s girlfriend and try to kill them like one time and suddenly you’re the bad guy and all your privacy rights go out the window.
@@bcfb21 The ferocity that is the collateral damage attack cannot be forgotten.. under normal circumstances. Perhaps it was overshadowed, in this instance, by the pain I feel within my soul every waking moment blast performed by byakuya.
I love how Renji and Uryuu are referencing Mayuri so much ahead of time. By the time Mayuri actually shows up, Szyael’s either going to be already intrigued or absolutely sick of hearing about this guy.
“MAYURI THIS AND MAYURI THAT! IF HE’S SUCH A FLIPPING PERFECT BEING WHY DOESNT HE JUST SHOW UP” “The perfect being you say? Well, I have to tell you the honest truth as I see it”
All the surprising randomness and jokes to choose from and if not the first episode that's still the scene I'll choose when showing someone bleach abridged for the first time 😂. . It's funny yet pretty damn good. Edit: i literally got to renji suggesting it and it's been a few months so i forgot that part bwahaha
"See this? This is called going straight to bankai! This is what all Soul Reapers should be doing in this war all the time!" Byakuya, Komamura, Soi Fon & Hitsugaya : "Yeah, about that."
Renji is right, for the most part. He just forgot one thing: Hihio Zabimaru _sucks donkey balls_ and is actually a downgrade from his Shikai. More accurately, it should be what every Soul Reaper EXCEPT HIM should be doing.
@@ProjectMouthwash Sure... but it's a big snake-on-a-stick that gets smacked around by the bad guys while he stands there; it looks unwieldy, and both he and it have always seemed really vulnerable to me. At least his Shikai is a _weapon,_ and the three strike limit _should_ only be a problem if he overextends. I suppose I went a little overboard stating how bad Hihio Zabimaru is; it's terrible when he's fighting _alone._ If he's supporting someone I bet it'd great for harassment, but support doesn't seem like Renji's style.
I'm afraid I don't see where you're coming from. There has never been a circumstance where his bankai hasn't been able to do what his shikai does but better. It's range is massive, it has a variety of additional attacks and abilities, more methods of attack, and its destructive power is greater. His shikai just swings and retracts.
Wait, hold on! Cirucci was expelled from the Espada simply because she wanted a shopping mall for herself. And yet Nnoitra, of all people, is, somehow, still counted among the Espada? FREAKIN NNOITRA?!!
I like to imagine that this fights manic nature is due to ichigo having to figure out how to explain to his kids the tricky situation of uncle Renji trying to describe his fights combined with Uruyu's eccentricity . ALSO GOTTA LOVE ANY INSTANT OF Renji has to say everyone's full name cause that's his thing Abara saying someones full name.
If anyone wants to know: Yes, he's his brother, but it's complicated. In actuality, he was part of Syzael (I think that's how you spell his name) and the manifestation of his brute force/overwhelming power. But hecause he wasn't interested in being that strong, he separated that part of his power/body from himself
@@somerandomschmuck2547 kinda, but also no? The idea is the same I guess. Where this differs is that both brothers were actual human with personalities, Szayel was just the dominant one in control. Originally he ate his brother after turning into a hollow. He then got strong, but was also made very aggressive. So Szayel being a scientist at heart separated the agression he had, giving it the original form/soul of his brother. That also made both into adjuchas. Starrk and Lilynetto have no idea what their shared body's personality was like originally. We know that some soul turned hollow was in control, but there is a possibility it was some other personality that got erased in the process.

That comes up just before Ichigo fights Grimmjow, in fact I believe it is the precursor to it. Though wow, seeing it lined up like that we have a looong way before we even approach any conclusion to this whole storyline, my goodness.
I love Renji repeating “Ford Fiesta” so confidently right to Szayel’s face before blasting him, like he’s spitting him in the face both metaphorically with his words and literally with his reiatsu. It’s such an understated gag but I do appreciate it. And it being topped off by Szayel’s clothes just being singed after as an annoyance makes it even better.
I loved this plus the TYBW clip you did really shows Renji's character growth. Here he went straight Bankai and got Batmaned. In TYBW clip he learned his lesson and didn't go straight Bankai knowing that there gonna Batman his bankai. Brilliant
I forgot about the storytelling bit, lol. With how much time and work these kinds of abridged series take, the kids will be visibly older by the time the arc wraps up. It's gonna be hilarious.
Szayel and Ylfordt were originally ONE Arrancar that was incredibly powerful. They were actually brothers in life who did some preeeeeetty messed up stuff, then all their Sins came back to bite them (literally), Szayel ate Ylfordt, went through the stages of Evolution, realised the overly aggressive parts of his personality were hampering his more Scientific side and just… Ejected that part of him. Thus Szayel became significantly weaker, lowered to Espada 8, while the ejected piece reformed into Ylfordt
@@DracoInduperator Bleach actually has a couple Light Novels that are actually pretty good. There’s SAFWY (Spirits Are Forever With You) which takes place in the time between Ichigo defeating Aizen and the Fullbring arc occurring. It mostly centres around Don Kanonji and Kenpachi, both Zaraki himself and others that have held the title before. A nice story, but I wouldn’t say VITAL to read. CFYOW (Can’t Fear Your Own World) takes place post TYBW with Shuhei as the focus character and the villain being someone with a bigger Snake vibe than Gin himself in Tokinada. This one actually had some big reveals in it, like a few Bankai and some story points both in terms of what happens post TYBW and some things that happened a LONG time ago.
My favorite part of this series is the canon it makes for itself. Ciruci wanting a mall built for her and getting kicked out of the espada for it is incredible, just like Chad's power origin being a chaos god. You guys are my favorite abridged series ever and I hope you never stop. Keep up the incredible work
@@TheTacRat I might be misinterpreting you but BigHeadClan wasn't saying "insert something witty here" he was meaning Something Witty Entertainment, the people making SAO abridged. Now if you were just making a joke I will delete this later.
@@BigHeadClan Something Witty work with Project Mouthwash. They've been doing so for years now; these guys are also in most of the Alfheim Online parts of SAO Abridged as well. With that said, there ARE other older great abridgers still operating. Hell, LittleKuriboh is still making new stuff, even if it is slow. SchmuckSquad is also still going strong.
Renji nitpicking the confusing history of hallows and family relationships was just gold. Edit: Also not cool can’t tease us with another epic rap battle and then not do it. 😢
Spoken as someone who has watched all of bleach 3-4 times through and read the tybw, you guys are freaking nailing this abridged series. It’s a really nice blend of taking the source material seriously - telling the story sometimes better than kubo did (e.g. rukia vs espada 9), but also completely tearing it to shreds and I love it.
Very big fan of that burn on Szayelapporo from Uryu. Both the literal one from the explosion, and that whole "You're the scientist; Observe it and you tell me," line. So good. As was Renji being so proud of himself for Self-Destructing 5 seconds earlier.
The lines and banter with Szyael absolutely makes me love his character. Amazing voiced with the whole creepy yet intelligent scientist vibe as he is. With the whole Hell bonus chapter it was such a shock to see him. At this point I’ve finally caught up with Bleach (S) Abridged! Absolutely blown away by the quality and effort in this series. Makes me love abridged series and Bleach all over again. Thanks so much for continuing to make this series!!!
I love how everyone one of the characters in this are all so just blunt, like the all are unique but at the same time are very similar and allow for interactions that catch you of guard like the Ichigo and Ulquiorra conversation about being in his house as well as the callbacks and acknowledgment of things the fan base keeps bringing up but (i guess) not wanting to do of past jokes/one of things I.e: The Epic Rap Battle Of the Soul city
Honestly I’d prefer they just let that be enough to take out Camry and move on. It always frustrates me when Bleach sets up a difficult villain just to let a stronger opponent easily defeat them.
@@shelbypowell9919 I blame it more on the power scaling. Renji and Ishida are at least low-captain class (same as Mayuri ) though Mayuri defeats him with poison, not spiritual energy so it makes sense. But in my opinion other than Ichigo and the captains everyone in Soul Society suffers from the Worf effect.
@@zillagrilla315 My biggest issue with Bleach when reading the manga is definitely the power scaling. A low-level villain later in the series would have destroyed most of Soul Society on their own early on which is an extremely bad look for a group that's supposed to keep the peace. Yet the story pacing gives away that such villains only exist when the protagonist is capable of defeating them which really hurts the suspension of disbelief.
@@gaiusmarius4209 I like to think that this line is proof that part of Ichigo is too terrified to make a better line, he hit the point where all he can think of is telling someone in hell (unless they abridge or reference that movie) to go to hell. This is the lowest he’s been when it comes to snappy remarks or just being funny which is going to parallel how absolutely stomped he’s going to get
Nice work with the lip flaps, the writing and rhe editing. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for staying committed, despite RUclips being... RUclips.
5:20 Also a legitimate question. I wasn't even sure if reproduction was even possible for them. I guess maybe it's the soul of an un/newborn that died in the World of the Living, or maybe a brand-new soul is made?
My theory regarding soul reaper birth is that if two people who died meet each other and do the deed they make a ghost baby kinda like the same way alive people do and so on.
This is why I don't mind the episode wait time. This episode was amazing in every possible way imaginable that I could've waited ten years for it. Keep up the work guys
If I remember correctly, Szayelaporro and other Granz are actually brothers who both became hollows and they did combine together when they were Gillian (?). Its VN stuff. Anyways I knew what Batmanning meant cause I'm a Batnerd. It has 2 meanings. 1(verb) Disappear suddenly when someone isnt looking but talking. 2 (verb) Use a contingency plan on someone after analyzing them.
This actually had me wheezing. I was so excited to watch it and it did not disappoint! There was such amazing humor, meta commentary on Ichigo running for 40+ episodes (like TRUE), and amazing editing. It's so cool to see the editing process get better and better ever episode!
ahhhhh i missed this stuff soooo much i was giggling so much throughout this episode, everything was so on brand with both Bleach and your previous work...
I enjoy how you did Szayel. Also I happy your group looked at the Novels about Szayel's past. I have to say I calling two more episode are left right? Get some Ulquiorra action and Grimmjow being nice. But we all can't wait for Grimmjow's fight hope you can fit his flashback with his fraccions in it too. Keep the awesome work up. Look forward to more TYBW shorts too.

@@sonofsparta3858 remind me what fear your own world is again? But yeah, to be fair to TFS they had planned to do a 4th season but everything they came up with they weren't happy with and it got to a point where they were like yeah nah this isn't what we want to end on we don't want to limp over the finish line but have a satisfying conclusion which is why they had season 3 was the ending which was a pretty perfect ending as is. Who knows maybe one day they'll go back and take another crack at it and with the new experiences they've had. That being said I really hope Bleach doesn't do that as I love this series so much!
So I looked, realizing this abridged series started like years ago and I'm late as all hell. I'm glad that you are still ongoing as a series and a channel in general so I can tell you personally, Thank you for making my birthday so much greater with this binge ive been on. 💀
Glad the video came out, I love Bleach and this is just the best abridge series. Even with comedy you can make the characters still sound so badass in their cool moments. "I'm Abarai Renji, a lieutenant of the 13 court guards, victor against opponents such as Ford Fiesta."
I love it. Ater all these years, still just chugging along slowly but surely. I was in my 20s when you started making these, 😂but I'll keep watching them. I can't wait for the next one! Hopefully, Mayrui shows up, and I miss Lord Groban!

I forgot about the storytelling bit, lol. With how much time and work these kinds of abridged series take, the kids will be visibly older by the time the arc wraps up. It's gonna be hilarious.
I’m waiting for Orihime to just cameo at the start of an episode.
@@brandoncastellano1858 Oh I hope so, then she can meta all over how I met your mother too 🤣
Previous episode was "emotional" This one killed me with "Batmanning"
4:50 He's asking the REAL questions here! I'd never even considered it before but now I genuinely want to know.
Szayel and Ylfordt were originally ONE Arrancar that was incredibly powerful. They were actually brothers in life who did some preeeeeetty messed up stuff, then all their Sins came back to bite them (literally), Szayel ate Ylfordt, went through the stages of Evolution, realised the overly aggressive parts of his personality were hampering his more Scientific side and just… Ejected that part of him. Thus Szayel became significantly weaker, lowered to Espada 8, while the ejected piece reformed into Ylfordt
@@apollo193 cool. Is that explained in the manga or somewhere else?
@@DracoInduperator It’s explained in one of the Light Novels (Spirits Are Forever With You) as far as I remember
@@apollo193 oh wow I didn't even know that Bleach had any light novels. That's so cool!
@@DracoInduperator Bleach actually has a couple Light Novels that are actually pretty good.
There’s SAFWY (Spirits Are Forever With You) which takes place in the time between Ichigo defeating Aizen and the Fullbring arc occurring. It mostly centres around Don Kanonji and Kenpachi, both Zaraki himself and others that have held the title before. A nice story, but I wouldn’t say VITAL to read.
CFYOW (Can’t Fear Your Own World) takes place post TYBW with Shuhei as the focus character and the villain being someone with a bigger Snake vibe than Gin himself in Tokinada. This one actually had some big reveals in it, like a few Bankai and some story points both in terms of what happens post TYBW and some things that happened a LONG time ago.
My favorite part of this series is the canon it makes for itself. Ciruci wanting a mall built for her and getting kicked out of the espada for it is incredible, just like Chad's power origin being a chaos god. You guys are my favorite abridged series ever and I hope you never stop. Keep up the incredible work
This was incredible. The last great abridgers standing.
Something witty SAO abridged?
@@BigHeadClan "something witty" was on par with an email i sent that ended with "insert pleasantries here"
@@TheTacRat I might be misinterpreting you but BigHeadClan wasn't saying "insert something witty here" he was meaning Something Witty Entertainment, the people making SAO abridged. Now if you were just making a joke I will delete this later.
@@RaddDragon i was unaware of that, thats 10x funnier absolute situational irony at its finest 😂😂
@@BigHeadClan Something Witty work with Project Mouthwash. They've been doing so for years now; these guys are also in most of the Alfheim Online parts of SAO Abridged as well.
With that said, there ARE other older great abridgers still operating. Hell, LittleKuriboh is still making new stuff, even if it is slow. SchmuckSquad is also still going strong.
Renji nitpicking the confusing history of hallows and family relationships was just gold.
Edit: Also not cool can’t tease us with another epic rap battle and then not do it. 😢
Mayuri will arrive soon maybe we'll get one
@@dbztranks6601 That would be a nice way to come full circle on the whole thing.
@@BigHeadClan Well... Mayuri was the one who started the first one as well. So strictly speaking it's his thing.
I always assumed it was a familiar adoption.
@@Nerazmus Kinda felt like both Mayuri and Ishida were on the same page on that one.
But yeah supposed Mayuri was the first to suggest it.
Spoken as someone who has watched all of bleach 3-4 times through and read the tybw, you guys are freaking nailing this abridged series. It’s a really nice blend of taking the source material seriously - telling the story sometimes better than kubo did (e.g. rukia vs espada 9), but also completely tearing it to shreds and I love it.
15:13
Ichigo internally: "Well i am dead"
15:15
Also Ichigo: "But i can be rude about it"
Very big fan of that burn on Szayelapporo from Uryu. Both the literal one from the explosion, and that whole "You're the scientist; Observe it and you tell me," line. So good. As was Renji being so proud of himself for Self-Destructing 5 seconds earlier.
The lines and banter with Szyael absolutely makes me love his character. Amazing voiced with the whole creepy yet intelligent scientist vibe as he is. With the whole Hell bonus chapter it was such a shock to see him.
At this point I’ve finally caught up with Bleach (S) Abridged! Absolutely blown away by the quality and effort in this series. Makes me love abridged series and Bleach all over again. Thanks so much for continuing to make this series!!!
'You're the scientist, why don't you observe and tell me'
God that lines so raw, what a good line
2 different types of Bleach episodes in a single week. Never thought I'd see the day 🔥
Renji doing that thing he keeps doing brings me great joy
Toyota Camry baby!! Let’s gooooo!!! Renji’s my favorite! I’m so stoked for this one!
"When two souls in Soul Society have a baby, where *_does_* the soul come from?"
I've...never asked that. And considering WHO he's asking...
It's been 84 years...
Jokes aside, I would wait another year for more quality content like this! My favourite youtube series by far :)
I love how everyone one of the characters in this are all so just blunt, like the all are unique but at the same time are very similar and allow for interactions that catch you of guard like the Ichigo and Ulquiorra conversation about being in his house as well as the callbacks and acknowledgment of things the fan base keeps bringing up but (i guess) not wanting to do of past jokes/one of things I.e: The Epic Rap Battle Of the Soul city
Glad I managed to catch this episode's premier! I enjoyed it!
I arrived just in time to hear
"What in the Name of Pizza Gate!?"
*Next episode*
Uryu: How the Hell did you survive that?
Grantz: BECAUSE I'M BATMAN!
Honestly I’d prefer they just let that be enough to take out Camry and move on. It always frustrates me when Bleach sets up a difficult villain just to let a stronger opponent easily defeat them.
@@shelbypowell9919 I blame it more on the power scaling. Renji and Ishida are at least low-captain class (same as Mayuri ) though Mayuri defeats him with poison, not spiritual energy so it makes sense. But in my opinion other than Ichigo and the captains everyone in Soul Society suffers from the Worf effect.
@@shelbypowell9919 So basically the Worf effect.
@@zynergx6973 I suppose. My point is that with the magic of abridging you could just skip most of that here
@@zillagrilla315 My biggest issue with Bleach when reading the manga is definitely the power scaling. A low-level villain later in the series would have destroyed most of Soul Society on their own early on which is an extremely bad look for a group that's supposed to keep the peace. Yet the story pacing gives away that such villains only exist when the protagonist is capable of defeating them which really hurts the suspension of disbelief.
So it’s time for Renji to add someone else to his record! Oh who am I kidding it’s Renji lol
I love the idea that Ishida and Renji are better friends with each other than they are with Ichigo
Well even the abridged team took pity on renji and gave him a second named opponent Toyota Camry never even showed his second phase
The lack of explanation in this shounen abridged is both uncanny and hella funny
That last ichigo line is definitely one of my favorites now
honestly i think they should have ended it at
"oh..."
"Indeed"
@@gaiusmarius4209 I like to think that this line is proof that part of Ichigo is too terrified to make a better line, he hit the point where all he can think of is telling someone in hell (unless they abridge or reference that movie) to go to hell. This is the lowest he’s been when it comes to snappy remarks or just being funny which is going to parallel how absolutely stomped he’s going to get
@@tetragaming6332 Didn't he drop kick an arranger for not only breaking into his room, but stand on his bed?
@@nomore5401 that's like 200 episodes later in the anime
@@nomore5401 200 episodes too soon!
Nice work with the lip flaps, the writing and rhe editing. Thank you for the laughs. Thank you for staying committed, despite RUclips being... RUclips.
5:20 Also a legitimate question. I wasn't even sure if reproduction was even possible for them. I guess maybe it's the soul of an un/newborn that died in the World of the Living, or maybe a brand-new soul is made?
My theory regarding soul reaper birth is that if two people who died meet each other and do the deed they make a ghost baby kinda like the same way alive people do and so on.
@@elimDBZ yes but where does the Soul come from? Is it harvested from the World of the Living or is it a brand new soul?
No, it's definitely possible - they have a hereditary nobility.
@@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013 good point I'd forgotten about that
@@DracoInduperatorit might come from the souls that are outside of the balance that the Quincy’s made
"You're basically Espada Mayuri, huh?"
Is that an insult toward Mayuri or a compliment toward Szayelaporro?
Yes
Mayuri is awesome. No insult there
Yes
This is why I don't mind the episode wait time. This episode was amazing in every possible way imaginable that I could've waited ten years for it. Keep up the work guys
Ah yes one of my favorite characters Toyota Camry brother of Ford Fiesta
Fair point about the babies being born in Soul Society. Though that WOULD explain all the stillborn births.
It's been so long, good to see this series return along with the new anime.
I literally JUST rewatched this series yesterday and you're back with a new episode!! This makes me so happy!
Great job, you made a pitch-perfect episode. I'm so glad you guys keep doing this.
The casual "broseph" line is great. Best quirk AND callback
Loved it 🤣
Any episode with my favorite Quincy becomes my new favorite episode.
If I remember correctly, Szayelaporro and other Granz are actually brothers who both became hollows and they did combine together when they were Gillian (?). Its VN stuff. Anyways I knew what Batmanning meant cause I'm a Batnerd. It has 2 meanings. 1(verb) Disappear suddenly when someone isnt looking but talking. 2 (verb) Use a contingency plan on someone after analyzing them.
I love how renji does that thing he does even in his internal monologue
This actually had me wheezing. I was so excited to watch it and it did not disappoint! There was such amazing humor, meta commentary on Ichigo running for 40+ episodes (like TRUE), and amazing editing. It's so cool to see the editing process get better and better ever episode!
Finally someone throwed you guys a three days training arc
ahhhhh i missed this stuff soooo much i was giggling so much throughout this episode, everything was so on brand with both Bleach and your previous work...
I enjoy how you did Szayel. Also I happy your group looked at the Novels about Szayel's past. I have to say I calling two more episode are left right? Get some Ulquiorra action and Grimmjow being nice. But we all can't wait for Grimmjow's fight hope you can fit his flashback with his fraccions in it too. Keep the awesome work up. Look forward to more TYBW shorts too.
Yup, two more~
@@ProjectMouthwash can’t the second part of the fight be skipped with the *kids* saying “alright we get it he’s batmaning our uncles so hard where does it end!?”
@@ProjectMouthwash Wait, only 2 more episodes left ?
@@nameless_moon Until the season finalé with Ichigo vs Grimmjow wich will be a massive extravaganza like the legendary "Bitch Be Grobin" back in the day... I suppose
Man I love seeing my favourite Espada getting some screen time.
Wow, what an episode! I loved the part where ________ said _______________________. Truly inspiring! And when ___________ did _________________! Oh boy, truly a wild time!
Too lazy to fill in the blanks, do it yourself yall
Ford Fiesta
Fun fact: I love Dj Nemu with Rap Master Mayuri dropping sweet beats to my soul.
Another Fun Fact: Your Abridged Bleach lore cleanses unhappy surfaces of the heart. Keep up the fun quirky dramatic action. The viewers approve!
Ty ty ty! Been following you all since day 1. Found out I had lung cancer a few months ago and this is the only thing that has made me happy since I got the news.
Finally, a reason to look forward to a Wednesday for once.
This is the one Abridged series I look forward to now that DBZ Abridged is over, I always preferred this anyway but yeah so glad it's back!
Yeah they actually made movie 2 better than the original!
@@sonofsparta3858 He'll yeah, I'm really glad they're making the thousand year blood war as it means the abridged series won't be forced to stop after Fullbring not saying they have to or will do it but at least now they got the options to continue.
@@dunkbuscusgaming7016 u never know they might pull a tfs and stop after the aizen arc but it will cool if they go all the way since they already foreshadowed the war arc in uryu vs Mauyri rap batte
@@dunkbuscusgaming7016 imagine if we get can't fear your own world animated omg that would be amazing it's peak bleach in my opinion
@@sonofsparta3858 remind me what fear your own world is again?
But yeah, to be fair to TFS they had planned to do a 4th season but everything they came up with they weren't happy with and it got to a point where they were like yeah nah this isn't what we want to end on we don't want to limp over the finish line but have a satisfying conclusion which is why they had season 3 was the ending which was a pretty perfect ending as is.
Who knows maybe one day they'll go back and take another crack at it and with the new experiences they've had.
That being said I really hope Bleach doesn't do that as I love this series so much!
OH WELL THATS JUST GREAT! NOW I HAVE TO GO BACK AND WATCH THE FIRST 29 PARTS AGAIN!
this is also Malsumis?
Ulquiorra definitely makes me shiver
"this is called going straight to bankai, this is what all soul reapers should be doing all the time"
-breathes in stern ritter
Thank God. These have been missed. Glad to see bleach videos again, thanks for the content!
Man I can’t wait to see the abridged version for the thousand year blood war arc
I love it when a abridge series uses the nonsense of the source material to poke fun at it
So I looked, realizing this abridged series started like years ago and I'm late as all hell. I'm glad that you are still ongoing as a series and a channel in general so I can tell you personally, Thank you for making my birthday so much greater with this binge ive been on. 💀
Glad the video came out, I love Bleach and this is just the best abridge series. Even with comedy you can make the characters still sound so badass in their cool moments.
"I'm Abarai Renji, a lieutenant of the 13 court guards, victor against opponents such as Ford Fiesta."
"This is a Renji story. Buckle up." I had to pause I was laughing so hard.
Marathon'd it and notice this is 2 months ago. Glad you're still going
I just wanna say I really do love you guys work please never stop this is the best abridged series of all time
3:19 huh tybw has some explaining
“You are batmanning me….. so hard right now.” I had to pause the episode I was laughing so hard 😂😂😂
I can't wait for Mayuri to show up. The speech about perfection was one of my favorite parts of Bleach. Excited to see how they do it here.
"You Batman-me"
That's a new catchphrase forever, thank you.
Thank you so much for keeping this going. So much joy from this content through the years. ❤
Project Mouthwash made this arc so much more enjoyable!
I love it. Ater all these years, still just chugging along slowly but surely. I was in my 20s when you started making these, 😂but I'll keep watching them. I can't wait for the next one! Hopefully, Mayrui shows up, and I miss Lord Groban!
