That is a good theory. Assuming that that is right it might explain the curse on the Ise clan (though Reio doesn't seem to be the vengeful sort of god) It might also serve as some sort of redemption for the clan and the sword.
@@Mortarion-xt9wp I don't think the curse would have come from him but the clan itself, being a clan of priestesses. Likely a way to help keep the Zanpakuto from falling in hands outside the clan.
Nanao fight was so fun for me because the last time she stood with Shunsui she got totally wiped out because it was Yammoto but then having her helping was so cool.
Also during Soul Society arc, Nanao barely caught up with Shunsui & Ukitake. Then right before Shunsui fights Lille, Shunsui compliments her when she was able to follow him.
@@jonnylawless6797 oh yeah if they just focus on the fight can be done in 2 episodes then when he turns into the owl flamingos they just move on to another battle
Shunsui’s backstory is somewhat wholesome with a dark undertone. I hope that Muramasa will be mentioned as there are multiple sacred treasures that are banned. The unknown great noble clan may also have something peculiar that was used in the original sin.
I always liked and respect him as a captain but his fight with lile really made him one of my favorite characters . Finally learning why he never wanted to use bankai 😮. His connection with nanao , yamaji and ukitake. And his overall character and morals as a leader choosing to release aizen and unlock Kenny
I love Bleach and a I love that Nanao wasn't another forgotten liutenant like Isane. However, I dislike how this perfect-counter deus ex machina sword was just shoehorned with a backstory mid-fight, and there is nothing the anime can do to correct this late into the game. A good example is when we were introduced to Shunsui and Nanao, we already knew that Shunsui had a bankai since then, even though it was revealed only now, it is a power we always knew he had. Imagine if when Shunsui and Nanao first appeared to fight Chad (even though I can't imagine Chad ever losing), Shunsui said "Nanao, you know I can't let you fight because of the promise I made to your mother, so I'll go", and later we get the backstory when idk, during the fake Aizen murder, or before the fake Karakura town. Just so we know back then that she has an unknown godly power that we are yet to see.
Oetsu would have been the perfect person to foreshadow it. Ichigo, upon getting his Zanpakuto, is praised by Oetsu, who declares it the Ultimate Power type Zanpakuto. Ichigo wonders if it will be enough to defeat Yhwach, and Oetsu explains that the only sword that might be better is the sacred "God-Killing" sword. An ancient ceremonial sword protected by a noble clan since ancient times, which would perfectly counter the Quincy's power, but that it disappeared over a hundred years ago.
Or we could have simply gotten a canon chapter or canon beach episode where nanao can't seem to get a date because men who approach her get hurt. Even the guide book could have a short sentence mention where she doesn't fall in love with men as whenever she does bad things happen.
While this has nothing to do with nanao's sword itself, I still found it crazy how senjumaru bankai was somehow intricately imitate it when she killied Lille in her first hank.
There's a theory going around, that Shinken Hakkyoken was the sword used to carve soul king, Adnyous into separate pieces. Btw, we don't know yet, what happened to the soul king's bottom legs/feet. They were cut off too and no one knows about them. Nobody even thought to ask Kubo in his Club Outside.
Respect for you imran for pumping this much videos holyy hope your not burned out love the vids 💯💯❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥 & what if they make shinken hakkyoken the "light" it reflects it can register that type of "light" and use it
This is the scene I am waiting for a lot to see how they gonna adapt in anime form cause its obvious that we will get some addition (atleast hoping for that obvious). I think a single forshadowing of shinken hakyoken would fix everything for every ppl calling it a plot armor.
Its my head canon that Oh-Etsu/Ichibei made it to combat Reio. Maybe if you want to get darker Ichibei put the curse on the Ise clan to ensure servetude.
Nanao-Chan is one of the most underrated Bleach characters that I really hope she will get more screentime yes we've seen her in TYBW and she's always with Kyouraku and I think now she have more potential because Kyouraku's now the head captain of the Soul Society what's obvious because Yamamoto liked Ukitake and Kyouraku! But did Yamamoto knew what Ukitake will do because he choice Kyouraku to be the next leader? Is Nanao a lieutenant? I would love to see she becomes a captain because she's stronger than she looks and I just wan't to see her BANKAI! 💜
I still hold to the theory that this sword was what was used to cut off the Soul King's limbs and carve out his organs. It's simply too perfect. Even explains why it's cursed
At this point, I'm thinking that Ukitake has either one last hurrah scene where he helps someone's fight, or maybe him becoming mimihagi is setting up for the Hell arc or something. It's just really odd that they haven't confirmed his death at all yet, and they keep panning to him.
Oh, his death has been confirmed alright; Three Captains so far are confirmed to have ended up in hell: Yamamoto, Ukitake and Unohana. ☻ That's from a special ritual performed 12 years after a Captain's funeral, which will send their souls there.
I have a theory regarding why Kyuraku isn't dead yet. (I've watched the anime and read some spoilers, but not read the manga) The Soul King contained all powers, including Hollow power, but Quincies naturally reject Hollow power. I think the reason why Yhwatch exuded dark power (with teeth and eyeballs) was because he failed to contain some of the Hollow aspects of the Soul King's power. The whole reason why Ichigo is stronger after The Blade Is Me is because his power is now in balance, so presumably that would mean that Yhwatch is out of balance; He only attains like 99% of the Soul King's power. Kyuraku could be multiple kinds of being since fully manifesting Mimihagi, especially if Mimihagi isn't interpreted as purely one kind of being itself. He could be a much smaller example of the same hybrid being Ichigo and the Soul King are, while he lasts. If he possesses a fraction of the Soul King's power equivalent to the 1% Yhwatch lost, Kyuraku/Mimihagi might have a role in eventually sealing the new Soul King. Even if this hybrid being theory falls through, even just Mimihagi controlling stillness might play a role in the sealing of the new Soul King. This would explain why the Soul King had to be dismembered before sealing him, because his own power needed to be used on him by others.
Hello Imran I have a question how could you find unlimited ideas for your videos and why the channel is focusing on bleach. Thanks for answering my question!
This fight HAS to be at least two episodes. There's no way they can cram a whole fight along with the back story in one episode. There's to much going on.
They need to build up to it more, as in, we need nods and acknowledgement of the weapon BEFORE it becomes a last second a$$ pull. Why were the Isé women cursed? Is it similar to Komamura's Clan situation? Whom/What cursed them? What was the beef between the Kyoraku brothers, and how was it resolved? Why were the Isé family in possession of the Hakkyoken? Why was keeping it hidden such a priority? Was this a zanpakuto forged by Nimaya, or a relic, like the Shihoin Family Shield that destroyed the Sokyoku? How does Central 46 know of Hyakkoken's existence, and why don't they simply confiscate it? There's plenty to flesh out in this fight, and make it less of a deus ex machina, and more like something that was, at least vaguely, planned out.
Lol Nanao is gonna fight with such a blade now i see why she is the vice capatain to the captain commander she is underrated even though she seems so inexperienced and naive due to her appearance
Also I think Ukitake is dead and the shadow on him just a flame. I was never bothered by the sword because it felt like to me it had some mystery that linked her family to the mutilation of the Soul King and like that was the curse and the weapon was an old Soul King armament
So by extension could it be possible that this zanpukto could kill aizen ? I'm genuinely unsure how this would play out could someone give me an analysis please
Wait shinsui's zanpakuto had to create a zanpakuto to hide the ise blade within. Judging by how they interact imma call it....shunsui's the baby daddy.
Yep judging by his bankai spirit complaining that he doesnt come out to play with her so often (and it's a mature woman) and it gave birth to a 2nd spirit, one may asume they got along really well lol🤣
Lille's wings in animation is green instead of yellow 🥲 l don't like the colour the studio chose. I don't understand art director logic. He has a move called god light, light should've been yellow colour. Lille the whole character design should've yellow wings ⚡ why green?? 😢
It matches with the whole army aesthetic, hopefully it changes though when he changes forms kinda hard to imagine his other forms as anything other than yellow
this zanpakuto has god level potential due to it's ability to counter a god would it also means it's abilities are god like ? and was that actually just it's shikai cause nanao never activated the bankai so how op would it's bankai could be 🤷🏻♂️
Didn't you not watch the video throughout its not th standard zanpackutou so to say it has shikai or even bankai is a stretch at least that's what I get from the video.
@@joybwoy nah i said it's potential we only seen a glimpse of it and we never even sure if it's actually a shikai or does the sword actually works like other zanpakuto because it is supposed to be a godly sword maybe the user can access to god level abilities who knows
I'm ashamed to say I'd forgotten most of this because it went by so quickly. Thing is, I'm still holding out hope that Ukitake's body not falling meanrs Mimihagi might pull him up to face Yhwach when the others show up, and that we'll then see his Bankai at long last. It would be a great "old veteran has one last fight in him" sort of thing, and yeah, we know he'd lose, but at least he'd get one final moment of awesome to rectify the lackluster ending he had in the manga. That said, after watching this video, I have to admit I never cared for Shinken Hakkyoken's backstory, nor do I even care for this part of Shunsui's backstory. As such, I would equally be fine if they completely retconned this so that Ukitake was the one holding onto Shinken Hakkyoken with Koten Kyokotsu helping obfuscate the fact and Mimihagi sealing the deal; as such, Mimihagi perhaps puts what little of itself remains back into Ukitake so he can show up and grant Shinken Hakkyoken to Nanao before turning to use his Bankai so he can give Nanao an opening to take Lille Barro down. Ukitake says goodbye to Shunsui and Nanao in a heartwarming moment and then finally dies. Either way, we need to see Ukitake's Bankai; even if he has it in Hell, it likely won't be the same. I keep saying "until his body drops and he's confirmed dead, I believe we may still get that Bankai." I'm staying in this hand and hedging the bets on these two potential scenarios.
I always had a theory that this was the Zanpakuto used to cut the limbs of the Soul King.
@@spectralfox that makes a lot of sense

As long as the anime does something to foreshadow this, then hopefully many people will be fine with it
I'd argue theres a lot of symbolic foreshadowing already
I'd argue you cannot add enough things at this point to make it okay. I just cant see how this will not look like an asspull
@@harshabhigyan928it will always look as such. Even Gerard losing didn’t make sense to me as Ywach can’t steal his powers

@@nejdetbulbul40Well. Almost. I’m pretty sure his original idea was to have Byakuya die

Maybe the Ise clan is freaky.

A sword that reflects God's light? Remind me again how many parts of the Soul King that are scattered...
Not gonna lie, I kinda low key thought at the time of the arc that Nanao is Shunsui daughter
I thought she was too
Its my head canon that Oh-Etsu/Ichibei made it to combat Reio. Maybe if you want to get darker Ichibei put the curse on the Ise clan to ensure servetude.
so, Kyoraku is one of the oldest captain and Nanao knows him since he was young and then Lisa is significantly older than Nanao, how old are they?
