Four lineages. Human, Shikigami, Quincy, and Hollow? How is that going to work?" - Then he gave a long debate of possibly conspiracies and the like. Least I recall this was before the Aizen and Hollow Masked Ichigo reveal. WAY before Ichigo's dad's identity reveal. More so the family connections and lineages. - So here was the conversation I could vaguely remember with him saying things like. "Maybe he is actually an experiment or some child of another family. There is NO WAY soul society or someone like Hats and Clogs could NOT have noticed Ichigo's potential or else what about his whole family? Maybe they are not fully related. Maybe.

Yes. And because of those circumstances the Zero Division Commander Ichibei almost sealed Ichigo as the soul king's replacement since Ichigo is already categorized as a transcendental. A race almost similar to the soul king one that Aizen dreams to become
Lets not forget there is a moment where urahara is talking to rukia and explaining what where the quincy and he said that they where humans with "powers like kurosaki-san". Kubos forshadowing is really underrated.
Just remember people, Kubo was forced to write out the final manga Arc on a time constraint because the editors lost faith in his long term vision. So he had to rush years and years of story and condensed it all into the final TYBW arc. He wanted to have another Arc that explained the corruption of the Soul Society and the Nobles, give context of what happened thousands of years ago and how the soul society was formed (not just the random snippets we got from the captain commander's death), and then introduce the quincies. He was forced to just jump straight into the quincies. There was literally years of storytelling he had to cut short that would've made the story as a whole so much more deep. What we were given was basically just the prologue then jumped to the beginning of the end. The end was supposed to then be hell. The One shot we got with his kid is just a tiny bit of what he really wanted. I still say he did well with what little time he had. I feel bad for him because he won't be able to feel the satisfaction of seeing what he had planned out come into it's full potential. This story was supposed to be so much deeper. Aizen arc was literally just the ending of the introduction. He was also forced to rush the fullbring part of the story, that's why people hated it. The fullbring part is super important if you understand later on about the soul king. It's truly bitter sweet. If you don't get it, then think of Attack on Titan.

Another thing worth noting is that the way Ichigo fully regains his shinigami powers near the end of the fullbring arc (getting stabbed by that spirit/reishi sword near the heart) was similar in a way to how quincies post-letzt stil can recover their powers
Ichigo's name itself is foreshadowing to his Quincy power. Ichigo -> 15 (1 is ichi, 5 is go in Japanese) -> Quince (15 is quince in Spanish and also it is hollow's theme) -> Quincy
I don’t know if it’s a stretch but Urahara said to Rukia “Quincy are humans who had powers like Mr. Kurosaki” it was in the first few episodes as well in the anime.
I predicted this YEARS AGO. People kept saying “They give Ichigo a easy way out and just keep upgrading his powers and it didn’t make sense” and I would always say that they hinted it from the beginning when he took Rukia’s powers and control the power with ease, also he was able to break free from Rukia’s powers when she tried to keep him trapped with her energy in episode 1 before he broke free and ran outside, they’ve always hinted at his strength
Also when he goes final Getsuga Tenshou he literally takes on the appearance of Yhwach.. from the style of hair to the eyes and pure black reiatsu attack
I think it is very fitting that Ichigo, who is part of every major race in the Bleach universe, is the one to bring down Yhwach, who was obsessed with purity and wanted to create a world that would hinder progress.
i'm sorry but a dude that speaks in german with a funny looking mustache obsessed with purity? bro YHWACH IS HITLER and he wants to wipe out the soul reapers so are the soul reapers the jews?
@@Nurix09 I mean, he did kill of all of the Quincy that he deemed impure, in order to gain power. The whole idea of world without death is that it would be a world of stagnation. Ichigo, being a hybrid, is a embodiment of progress.
@@jrgenvellesen7800 I mesn the people he killed are not really dead but absorbed instead, they live on as a part of him as fucked up as it sounds like.
The background music is amazing with the dialogue and intensity I love it . As always you're one of the best RUclipsrs out there . After it all set and done maybe u could make what ifs like Carthu's dojo and salade saiyan for dragon ball
okay thank you so much for this video so I hadn't watch Bleach in a long time but with the new episode that just dropped I went back and rewatched the old series honestly left me with more questions and gaps in my knowledge that I would like to admit watching this made me connect the dots in so many different areas extremely helpful
Thank you it’s staying faithful to this series I love it and I’ve never stopped I’m so glad it’s coming back no matter what it’s for and I hope you keep making videos Thank you
Very nice video, man. Good thing you cleared in your video already that it's just speculations and theories not tangible evidence. Who knows if Kubo planned for all that stuff or not? But I think Kubo def planned for Ichigo to be somehow related to Quincies early on even tho it might be just a rough idea at that time. And it happened to tie at the end good enough
So to sum it up, Ichigo possesses all three main factions of Bleach. Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy. His Shinigami powers act as a conduit for his Hollow and Quincy abilities. Granting both a zanpakto.
Also the Mugetsu form kinda reminds me of Yuha Bach, the long black hair, red eyes and the final getsuga looks like he is firing pure darkness, like Yuha's powers over shadows, but maybe that's a stretch
Idt the mugetsu had to much to do with his Quincy powers since his dad is the 1 who told him about it & said his own Zanpakto Engetsu didn't wanna teach him either. It's likely a Shiba clan technique like getsuga tensho since we see Isshin use multiple against Aizen some so powerful that they outclassed Ichigo's hollowfied 1's when he damaged Aizen in his cocoon form
I love that we all call ywach spirtual alter in ichigo old man zangetsu and his hollow "white" even so the hollow name is zangetsu and old man name is ywhach
I still stand by the idea that white bases his treatment of ichigo off ishin. Since hollows have no heart and are supposed to be unable to understand human emotion, especially as white wasn’t a human turned hollow. All he’s seen as an example of love and desire to progress, is how ishin constantly protects the women (sisters and rukia) and is always sneak attacking ichigo. Then to look at how white always threatens similar. That when ichigo lets his guard down white will strike. Similarly to ishin his protection of the women is shown through the vasto’ lorde transformation coming at the moment orihime was most panicked
You know…you’ve brought up an interesting hot take. White using the same methods of antagonism without understanding or the context of the emotions that goes into is kind of interesting. Though white (through the fusion) did state that he did want to protect Ichigo and has made constant moves to protect him. Though I do like your take and can see it as a great addition to head canon
@@hollowichigo24x the thought process might also explain why after the soul society chapters white doesn’t try to take over ichigo like he did in the byakuya fight. There’s one instance whole training to control his hollow powers, but generally after the byakuya fight we don’t see white trying to take control. More so we see him refuse to help ichigo as if he’s more like a stubborn sibling than an enemy.
@@taeworldcj6998 if you wanna debate the loose canonicity of filler like bount arc zanpakuto rebellion it does give a lot of insight in the sense that he does refuse to help him because he doesn’t fully fight with him
The hints laid out that was quincy I completely missed. Finding out the old man Zangetsu is not his zanpakto is mind blowing. Can't wait to see the anime adaptation.
When I was reading chapters where Ichigo was reforging his sword I thought we might see Ichigo's true Zangetsu without Hollow and Quincy parts, like an original pure shinigami Ichigo's Zangetsu. With it's special ability and other two would be just like an option. Hollow powers while awakened is Horn of salvation form, and Quincy is Blut plus Yhwach reichi sword, or something like that.
That would be sick but they are intrinsically tied to his soul. It's mentioned numerous times how shinigami have animosity towards their zanpakto but it is what it is, that's their soul.
arguably his fake zangetsu IS just shinigami powers. then he add hollow powers on top of it (mask), he upgrades it with fullbring (slightly different shaped blade), and then has quincy powers on his body (blut vene) the reforging fuses all into one, or rather two blades, and then bankai fuses the halves into one, a perfect fusion.
There was also an indication during Uryu and Ichigo's first fight with a gillian where ichigo amplified Uryu's power, which might have been because of Ichigo's quincy bloodline..
4:22 I don’t think he lent him his Quincy powers, I think he just reduced how much of his shinigami powers he was suppressing here in order to allow him to fight on and survive
Out of all the "Twists" in the series, this was the one that caught me off guard and at first, made me think Kubo totally pulled this out of his ass until I rewatched the series and noticed the foreshadowing. I guessed White Ichigo was "Part" of Zangetsu, I assumed that Kenpachi was mentally holding back his own power, it was obvious that Retsu Unohana was far more deadly and more powerful than she let on and I figured Ichigo was part of the Shiba clan in some form or another due to the similar attitudes and appearances they shared. But I never guessed that Ichigo was half Quincy. It just.... I mean it never seemed to really come up. No one painted that picture and he didn't really show the ability to absorb Spirit Energy around him at will. But there were quite a few clues sprinkled about that really brings it home and that is one thing about the story that really shocked and impressed me. Like with other plot twists, all the foreshadowing was there, but I just didn't pick up on it.
There was 2 big foreshadows for his quincy side from his powers. A) his tensa zangetsu gathers reistsu from around him. B) He's said to have a massive chamber of reishi. C) he did the treadmill (that drains reishi) for hours alone hours and it didn't even phase him. Because his latent ability to pull in reishi from around him sustained or gave him plus quantity.
I called out that Masaki was a quincy in 2009 based solely on that bedspread and the fact that Ichigo survived his first encounter with Grand Fisher. I figured that Masaki must have been able to fight him off somehow, and that bedspread had been bothering me, way too much of a coincidence. But I guessed that she was Ryuken's sister making Uryu and Ichigo cousins. It was still validating that the "crack" theory I had for years turned out to be partially true.
Wow, I never realized there was so much foreshadowing. I don’t know if we’ll get the hell arc anytime soon, but I can’t wait! Btw, how do you guys think Isshin knew Mugetsu, and what do y’all think his bankai was like?
He didn't know Mugetsu,that one is the name of an attack. He knew about the final getsuga tensho,that Isshin also probably knows how to use (since he knows getsuga tensho too). There is actually a theory behind it. The Shiba clan was one of the 5 great noble clans who did the primordial sins (killing the Soul King),even though they were against doing so. In order to punish themselves,they tried to find a proper way,and the origin of final getsuga tensho is probably that (since after using it you will lose your powers and strength,there is no proper punishment than that)
my headcannon for Ichigo's zanpakto release is "Bleach". It would be unreal if he said that before transforming into his Horn of Salvation mode in the anime signifying that he activated his Shikai ability - a bleached, Vasto Lorde form.
I want to thank you for finally being able to explain Ichigo's hidden Quincy powers. For the life of me this topic kept bothering me because of the fact that his Quincy powers weren't focused on during his growth and training, because he's been prioritizing in unlocking his Soul Reaper powers and controlling his Inner Hollow, this making me believe that he just simply had Quincy powers within him the whole time. However it kinda begs the question. since Ichigo unleashed his Mugetsu against Aizen, he lost all of his powers, and only received his Soul Reaper powers back after the Gotei 13 pooled in their Soul Reaper powers into that Reishi blade, restoring his Shinigami form which also combined with his Fullbringer powers. So how was he able to get back his Quincy powers if those were suppose to be gone after he unleashed his Mugetsu, which drained ALL of his powers, meaning ALL of them should be gone: his Soul Reaper, Quincy, and Inner Hollow? is it because all of those aspects are still tied to Ichigo's very soul, so they can't be gone completely, only made dormant due to spend ALL of his spiritual pressure or Reishi?
Arguably you could say that happened during his time in Opie's jail. Similar to how he recovered the spark of his shinigami powers in the fullbring arc he might've recovered a spark of his quincy powers. There was also something about quincy regaining their lost powers when they are at their limit and hit with reishi near the heart as was shown with Ishida after the soul society arc, but I don't remember where the reishi blade hit Ichigo.
I just wished the smaller blade of Ichigo transformed into a bow or something to showcase his Quincy powers, I know he chose to be a Shinigami but seeing him utilize some of those Quincy moves like Ishida would have been cool
As cool as comparing the final getsuga tensho to that Quincy technique, that probably is a coincidence since the getsuga tensho seems like a Shiba technique since u know his dad uses it's and is a shinigami.
2:43 this was the first time we knew there was more to the hollow then what we thought on the surface level of things back then and this was back in the soul society arc! Still can’t believe the anime didn’t show this properly back then cause it would’ve been great to notice back then cause I only found out about this later on Reddit completely by accident. Good shit kubo, good shit!
Probably not / hopefully not. It's implied that quincy power dilutes very quickly. One of ichigos sisters has no spiritual powers to the point she can't see ghosts. The other barely has any either. Uryu is 3/4ths quincy and his dad implies regularly, his powers are much much weaker because of it. So we have 3, half quincies of which only one has particularly shown any quincy power, and a 3/4ths quincy implied to be weak because of it. Yet Ichigos kids are only gonna be 1/4th quincy.
Something that doesnt make sense to me, when Juha stole his powers...how the hell did Ichigo temporarily lose his Hollow powers when his Hollow POwers are tied to his Soul Reaper powers? Hollow Ichigo is his Zanpaktou
My guess is Yhwach stole some of his powers, the same way Ginjo stole his fullbring, yet Ichigo still had some of his fullbring power after the reishi sword.
In the anime when OMZ tells ichigo his name and it gets blurred, you can hear a little bit of the end of the name and you hear "..ha" like how they say yuha baha in the Japanese dub
During the zanpakuto arc, its kinda odd that old man zangetsu was the one who was physically manifested by muramasa instead of white ichigo, does that mean that the one who was dominant in ichigo's inner world is what made old man zangetsu physically manifest instead of white ichigo?
That's the tragic of fillers, they don't know things and put shit together and screw up the plot. It's like Tutor Hitman Reborn having the lovely fillet arc where the old guardians souls help the new family... Except a little problem on that arc that completely screws up in the next arc(don't wanna spoil it for whoever wants to read the manga, but yes, is a gigantic plot hole). Or adding random Griffey in OP
OMZ was actively restraining White's power, so yeah. OMZ most likely let himself get caught by Muramasa, as Ichigo would've been in danger without white. Also, Muramasa does say White is "Ichigo's true power."
Dude what hell is up ????? Many times I watch a bleach analysis I get blown everytime , like how TF Kubo manages to fool us , wtf is that foreshadowing 😭. Holy moly it literally was there the whole time in chapter 1 BRUHHHH
Still cant understand how Bach didn't absorb Ichigo's quincy powers and I hope Ichigo's quincy power don't boil down to blut vene and some basic reishi manipulation
I'd say his mother's reiatsu protecting him from king Fischer was a kind of blut veine as the explanation they gave doesnt convince me, it being his mother's reitsu doing a blut veine makes more sense as she was very proficient at it
I knew he was half Quincy when they showed his mother's body with all the Quincy standing around it at that time they didn't say it was his mother but they used the same pose and everything in the same picture of his mother's body but shadowed out
I loved it all and I will save this the next five minutes I think the coolest moment will be when Ichigo quinches it and it revivals how much takes up of the soul scene
The problem with the mugetsu is that Ichigos Dad's sword didn't want to teach him either. So I think that is something that the Shiba clan has not a Quincy thing.
@@blazingocean4206 2 Thing's wish those brave souls Greater Then BANKAI forms were cannon. Till day I always loved the concept of the form after BANKAI or merging with your sword.
The fact Uryuu Ishida keeps associating himself with Ichigo and his friends despite promising his dad he wouldn't associate with shinigami anymore is a strong hint he knows Ichigo hardly classifies as shinigami, and not just because Ichigo uses the moniker of substitute shinigami.
I was reading bleach when it finished, but I got into the series pretty late. I'm not exactly sure where the story was when I caught up, but I know I was weekly when it finished for sure. That being said, I didn't follow any forums, theories or anything like that. I just talked about it with a couple friends. Were there people that were sus of zangetsu? When the white said he was "the real" one, were there people that knew there was more to his zanpakto? Did people think he was a Quincy before the tybw arc? Because I more or less binged the fact majority of it, nothing stood out like that I guess? Idk. It's also been so long, I'm not entirely sure what I thought back then. I don't think my buddies brought anything like that up either.
Might be reaching but I'd like to add that even in ichigos theme he's referred to a shining star. Could be some overlap with the insignia of the Wadenreich.
@DBZimran we know Ichigo has a relation to the number 15 - it is shown on his bedroom door, and his name literally translates to 1 5 we have always been told the number 15 represents a guardian in japanese - a protector however i want to touch on the subject of hell. "Phosphorus is a nonmetallic chemical element with symbol P and atomic number 15"
I wish he had a sealed zapato form as nd from there choose which side to show for example a hollow resection form full power to a true soul reaper form
I always wanted to see a version of vollstanding of Ichigo. If he can achieve Bankai and resurrection why not vollstanding which is the ultimate technique of the Quincy.
the vollstandig does not exist anymore since Yhwach use auswahlen to stole all of his comrades reiatsu even the sternritters and schutzstaffel before ichigo fights him....
Kash Jackson you're expecting too much. Ichigo probably doesn't even have his quincy powers anymore since Yhwach absorbed them along with his Hollow powers. we still don't know what his bankai does or what it potentially could do.
Ppl don't forget there is one power there not mention is in the movie want the hell what call there have one more from that the bone demon. So that's is say there about totally five from maybe more.
I only started watching bleach after the manga was completed, so all theory channels already knew the truth by then. But before the tybw was there anyone who had connected the subtle hints and theorized about it, or was this a shock to everyone?
A couple thoughts/questions: Did Ichigo also get some shinigami powers from Masaki? Remember white was basically a vizard, a hollowfied shinigami. Also why wasn't it made a big deal Ichigo survived the aushwallen? He was also an impure quincy just like his mom and uryu.
@@CelVini yeah, so he should've been hit by the aushwallen... it was supposed to go after all non pure blood quincies, and Ichigo... and his sisters? Aren't pure blooded quincies.
@@daymianhogue1634 When Misaki was untainted she was a pure blood. After white fused with she became tainted but Isshin soul was able to cancel that out and leave her in like a living stasis until Ichigo was born and he gained portions from both parents and all of white. After that she wasn't pure but any protection she had or infused mix was removed from which I think made it all the easier for Aushwallen too work, Ichigo being the weird hybrid and technically still living off the soul protection that was gifted from Isshin to his mother to him I think it protected his powers because all his powers were jumbled and dormant
Yup that's why when hollow ichigo and tensa zangestu combined, the final form had a horn one 1 side and the other the quincy side foreshadowing ichigos Horn of salvation
I think the old man Zangetsu contains Masaki's desire to always protect her son. It would have been cool if Ichigo faced Yhwach in the Quincy outfit from brave Souls.
What if old man zangetsu look like Masai in stead
@@anime_why_not6918 he is a portion of Yhwach and represents Ichigo's Quincy heritage. It would be strange but like I said I think he contains his mother's will

I predicted this YEARS AGO. People kept saying “They give Ichigo a easy way out and just keep upgrading his powers and it didn’t make sense” and I would always say that they hinted it from the beginning when he took Rukia’s powers and control the power with ease, also he was able to break free from Rukia’s powers when she tried to keep him trapped with her energy in episode 1 before he broke free and ran outside, they’ve always hinted at his strength
Also when he goes final Getsuga Tenshou he literally takes on the appearance of Yhwach.. from the style of hair to the eyes and pure black reiatsu attack
Holy...I've read and watched Bleach for almost 20 years now and I have NEVER noticed Hollow Ichigo's reflection in his blade...that's wild!
20 years?? That’s beautiful bro real talk I just started watching it !
I think it is very fitting that Ichigo, who is part of every major race in the Bleach universe, is the one to bring down Yhwach, who was obsessed with purity and wanted to create a world that would hinder progress.
i'm sorry but a dude that speaks in german with a funny looking mustache obsessed with purity?
bro YHWACH IS HITLER
and he wants to wipe out the soul reapers so are the soul reapers the jews?
Not purity Yhwach wanted to return world to its original state and stop death.
@@Nurix09 I mean, he did kill of all of the Quincy that he deemed impure, in order to gain power. The whole idea of world without death is that it would be a world of stagnation. Ichigo, being a hybrid, is a embodiment of progress.
@@jrgenvellesen7800 I mesn the people he killed are not really dead but absorbed instead, they live on as a part of him as fucked up as it sounds like.
Holy crap man, the panel of Zangetsu smiling but looking sullen in the reflection of the blade is so good
The fact that his getsuga in shikai looks similar to Quincy's arrow and no one mentioned is mind blowing
That's because in the anime it's inaccurate. It's supposed to be yellow like the manga.
@@thetower8553 💚
@@thetower8553 in the anime I don't know if they did it on purpose or not but it's interesting
The background music is amazing with the dialogue and intensity I love it . As always you're one of the best RUclipsrs out there .
After it all set and done maybe u could make what ifs like Carthu's dojo and salade saiyan for dragon ball
I have a really good what if bleach video coming up. Its an experimental video but it should be fun.
@@DBZimran yooo can't wait bro
okay thank you so much for this video so I hadn't watch Bleach in a long time but with the new episode that just dropped I went back and rewatched the old series honestly left me with more questions and gaps in my knowledge that I would like to admit watching this made me connect the dots in so many different areas extremely helpful
Thank you it’s staying faithful to this series I love it and I’ve never stopped I’m so glad it’s coming back no matter what it’s for and I hope you keep making videos Thank you
Very nice video, man. Good thing you cleared in your video already that it's just speculations and theories not tangible evidence. Who knows if Kubo planned for all that stuff or not? But I think Kubo def planned for Ichigo to be somehow related to Quincies early on even tho it might be just a rough idea at that time. And it happened to tie at the end good enough
So to sum it up, Ichigo possesses all three main factions of Bleach. Shinigami, Hollow, and Quincy. His Shinigami powers act as a conduit for his Hollow and Quincy abilities. Granting both a zanpakto.
Also the Mugetsu form kinda reminds me of Yuha Bach, the long black hair, red eyes and the final getsuga looks like he is firing pure darkness, like Yuha's powers over shadows, but maybe that's a stretch
😍👼
Idt the mugetsu had to much to do with his Quincy powers since his dad is the 1 who told him about it & said his own Zanpakto Engetsu didn't wanna teach him either. It's likely a Shiba clan technique like getsuga tensho since we see Isshin use multiple against Aizen some so powerful that they outclassed Ichigo's hollowfied 1's when he damaged Aizen in his cocoon form
I love that we all call ywach spirtual alter in ichigo old man zangetsu and his hollow "white" even so the hollow name is zangetsu and old man name is ywhach
I still stand by the idea that white bases his treatment of ichigo off ishin.
Since hollows have no heart and are supposed to be unable to understand human emotion, especially as white wasn’t a human turned hollow.
All he’s seen as an example of love and desire to progress, is how ishin constantly protects the women (sisters and rukia) and is always sneak attacking ichigo. Then to look at how white always threatens similar. That when ichigo lets his guard down white will strike. Similarly to ishin his protection of the women is shown through the vasto’ lorde transformation coming at the moment orihime was most panicked
You know…you’ve brought up an interesting hot take. White using the same methods of antagonism without understanding or the context of the emotions that goes into is kind of interesting. Though white (through the fusion) did state that he did want to protect Ichigo and has made constant moves to protect him. Though I do like your take and can see it as a great addition to head canon
@@hollowichigo24x the thought process might also explain why after the soul society chapters white doesn’t try to take over ichigo like he did in the byakuya fight. There’s one instance whole training to control his hollow powers, but generally after the byakuya fight we don’t see white trying to take control. More so we see him refuse to help ichigo as if he’s more like a stubborn sibling than an enemy.
@@taeworldcj6998 if you wanna debate the loose canonicity of filler like bount arc zanpakuto rebellion it does give a lot of insight in the sense that he does refuse to help him because he doesn’t fully fight with him
The hints laid out that was quincy I completely missed. Finding out the old man Zangetsu is not his zanpakto is mind blowing. Can't wait to see the anime adaptation.
When I was reading chapters where Ichigo was reforging his sword I thought we might see Ichigo's true Zangetsu without Hollow and Quincy parts, like an original pure shinigami Ichigo's Zangetsu. With it's special ability and other two would be just like an option. Hollow powers while awakened is Horn of salvation form, and Quincy is Blut plus Yhwach reichi sword, or something like that.
Bro you should work at klab
That would be sick but they are intrinsically tied to his soul. It's mentioned numerous times how shinigami have animosity towards their zanpakto but it is what it is, that's their soul.
arguably his fake zangetsu IS just shinigami powers. then he add hollow powers on top of it (mask), he upgrades it with fullbring (slightly different shaped blade), and then has quincy powers on his body (blut vene)
the reforging fuses all into one, or rather two blades, and then bankai fuses the halves into one, a perfect fusion.
@@kurofrfr i wish, I could participate in Naruto, Bleach creation. There are a lot of stuff that lost in the series.
@@olegsinopalnikov7306true bro Bleach and Naruto always have some stuff forgotten
There was also an indication during Uryu and Ichigo's first fight with a gillian where ichigo amplified Uryu's power, which might have been because of Ichigo's quincy bloodline..
I'm in fuggin tears cause its like the waited to tell us he was a quincy but was doin quincy type stuff the whole time
4:22 I don’t think he lent him his Quincy powers, I think he just reduced how much of his shinigami powers he was suppressing here in order to allow him to fight on and survive
Sounds about right to me
Out of all the "Twists" in the series, this was the one that caught me off guard and at first, made me think Kubo totally pulled this out of his ass until I rewatched the series and noticed the foreshadowing. I guessed White Ichigo was "Part" of Zangetsu, I assumed that Kenpachi was mentally holding back his own power, it was obvious that Retsu Unohana was far more deadly and more powerful than she let on and I figured Ichigo was part of the Shiba clan in some form or another due to the similar attitudes and appearances they shared.
But I never guessed that Ichigo was half Quincy. It just.... I mean it never seemed to really come up. No one painted that picture and he didn't really show the ability to absorb Spirit Energy around him at will. But there were quite a few clues sprinkled about that really brings it home and that is one thing about the story that really shocked and impressed me. Like with other plot twists, all the foreshadowing was there, but I just didn't pick up on it.
There was 2 big foreshadows for his quincy side from his powers. A) his tensa zangetsu gathers reistsu from around him. B) He's said to have a massive chamber of reishi. C) he did the treadmill (that drains reishi) for hours alone hours and it didn't even phase him. Because his latent ability to pull in reishi from around him sustained or gave him plus quantity.
I called out that Masaki was a quincy in 2009 based solely on that bedspread and the fact that Ichigo survived his first encounter with Grand Fisher. I figured that Masaki must have been able to fight him off somehow, and that bedspread had been bothering me, way too much of a coincidence. But I guessed that she was Ryuken's sister making Uryu and Ichigo cousins. It was still validating that the "crack" theory I had for years turned out to be partially true.
After Ichigo's Vasto Lorde transformation when the hole seals, is not from White. It was clearly blue, thus indicating Quincy.
Could you imagine if Ichigo acquired the powers of Don Kanonji too my god
Let's not make him too OP
Only Kon with a little help from the great and powerful Hanatarou would be able to stop such a being.
@@thetower8553 exactly only such a challenge as him could stand up to such a menace
Wow, I never realized there was so much foreshadowing. I don’t know if we’ll get the hell arc anytime soon, but I can’t wait! Btw, how do you guys think Isshin knew Mugetsu, and what do y’all think his bankai was like?
He didn't know Mugetsu,that one is the name of an attack. He knew about the final getsuga tensho,that Isshin also probably knows how to use (since he knows getsuga tensho too). There is actually a theory behind it. The Shiba clan was one of the 5 great noble clans who did the primordial sins (killing the Soul King),even though they were against doing so. In order to punish themselves,they tried to find a proper way,and the origin of final getsuga tensho is probably that (since after using it you will lose your powers and strength,there is no proper punishment than that)
@@marcomilillo23 I love that theory, I’m surprised I haven’t heard of it! Tbh, I only remembered the Kuchiki and Shihon noble clans😅
i like how when someone tries to stop ichigo from becoming stronger they end up making him stronger
my headcannon for Ichigo's zanpakto release is "Bleach". It would be unreal if he said that before transforming into his Horn of Salvation mode in the anime signifying that he activated his Shikai ability - a bleached, Vasto Lorde form.
I think Uryu knew about it ever since the day Ichigo absorbed that cero.. probably way before that tbh
I want to thank you for finally being able to explain Ichigo's hidden Quincy powers. For the life of me this topic kept bothering me because of the fact that his Quincy powers weren't focused on during his growth and training, because he's been prioritizing in unlocking his Soul Reaper powers and controlling his Inner Hollow, this making me believe that he just simply had Quincy powers within him the whole time. However it kinda begs the question. since Ichigo unleashed his Mugetsu against Aizen, he lost all of his powers, and only received his Soul Reaper powers back after the Gotei 13 pooled in their Soul Reaper powers into that Reishi blade, restoring his Shinigami form which also combined with his Fullbringer powers. So how was he able to get back his Quincy powers if those were suppose to be gone after he unleashed his Mugetsu, which drained ALL of his powers, meaning ALL of them should be gone: his Soul Reaper, Quincy, and Inner Hollow? is it because all of those aspects are still tied to Ichigo's very soul, so they can't be gone completely, only made dormant due to spend ALL of his spiritual pressure or Reishi?
Arguably you could say that happened during his time in Opie's jail. Similar to how he recovered the spark of his shinigami powers in the fullbring arc he might've recovered a spark of his quincy powers. There was also something about quincy regaining their lost powers when they are at their limit and hit with reishi near the heart as was shown with Ishida after the soul society arc, but I don't remember where the reishi blade hit Ichigo.
That is insane foreshadowing I never realized the bed or how he took all of her powers was quincy
i remember his bleeding miraculously stopped during Kenpachi fight, wondering what kind of plot armor that is, now i get it
I just wished the smaller blade of Ichigo transformed into a bow or something to showcase his Quincy powers, I know he chose to be a Shinigami but seeing him utilize some of those Quincy moves like Ishida would have been cool
As cool as comparing the final getsuga tensho to that Quincy technique, that probably is a coincidence since the getsuga tensho seems like a Shiba technique since u know his dad uses it's and is a shinigami.
But his dad new final attack not mugetsu
I really want to thank you for this particular piece. It presents a significant perspective to understand the development of the entire story.
This is now so obvious but I missed these details. Great work sir!
ichigo’s bed was white with a blue cross in the FIRST EPISODE
2:43 this was the first time we knew there was more to the hollow then what we thought on the surface level of things back then and this was back in the soul society arc!
Still can’t believe the anime didn’t show this properly back then cause it would’ve been great to notice back then cause I only found out about this later on Reddit completely by accident.
Good shit kubo, good shit!
I really cant wait to see what will happen in the new Hell arc, So much potential over there!
💚💛💛💚😈
Oh yes
Its things like this that makes me wonder just how far ahead mangaka plan. Like... SHEETS as foreshadowing in CHAPTER ONE!!!
I agree I would love to Ichigo use his Quincy powers more in the Hell arc...tho I wonder if his son will show some Quincy power too?
Probably not / hopefully not.
It's implied that quincy power dilutes very quickly.
One of ichigos sisters has no spiritual powers to the point she can't see ghosts. The other barely has any either.
Uryu is 3/4ths quincy and his dad implies regularly, his powers are much much weaker because of it.
So we have 3, half quincies of which only one has particularly shown any quincy power, and a 3/4ths quincy implied to be weak because of it.
Yet Ichigos kids are only gonna be 1/4th quincy.
@@daymianhogue1634 I see and thank you.
Something that doesnt make sense to me, when Juha stole his powers...how the hell did Ichigo temporarily lose his Hollow powers when his Hollow POwers are tied to his Soul Reaper powers? Hollow Ichigo is his Zanpaktou
My guess is Yhwach stole some of his powers, the same way Ginjo stole his fullbring, yet Ichigo still had some of his fullbring power after the reishi sword.
They represent his hybrid heritage, it serves as a sharp contrast to Yhwach and his mad obsession with purity.
Blut vene such a cool ability, its a shame all the quincy forgot how to use it in the second invasion
In the anime when OMZ tells ichigo his name and it gets blurred, you can hear a little bit of the end of the name and you hear "..ha" like how they say yuha baha in the Japanese dub
During the zanpakuto arc, its kinda odd that old man zangetsu was the one who was physically manifested by muramasa instead of white ichigo, does that mean that the one who was dominant in ichigo's inner world is what made old man zangetsu physically manifest instead of white ichigo?
Either that or the anime filler team just didn't know or knew and didn't wanna spoil anything.
no, it means it was filler
It was just filler
That's the tragic of fillers, they don't know things and put shit together and screw up the plot. It's like Tutor Hitman Reborn having the lovely fillet arc where the old guardians souls help the new family... Except a little problem on that arc that completely screws up in the next arc(don't wanna spoil it for whoever wants to read the manga, but yes, is a gigantic plot hole). Or adding random Griffey in OP
OMZ was actively restraining White's power, so yeah.
OMZ most likely let himself get caught by Muramasa, as Ichigo would've been in danger without white.
Also, Muramasa does say White is "Ichigo's true power."
ichigo vs zaraki. When he gets stabbed through his zangetsu sword. He uses quicy powers after that moment on. To beat zaraki.
Dude what hell is up ????? Many times I watch a bleach analysis I get blown everytime , like how TF Kubo manages to fool us , wtf is that foreshadowing 😭. Holy moly it literally was there the whole time in chapter 1 BRUHHHH
I read that as Crunchy Ichigo and was trying to figure out which version of him was the Crunchy one.
What the people have been waiting for
Still cant understand how Bach didn't absorb Ichigo's quincy powers and I hope Ichigo's quincy power don't boil down to blut vene and some basic reishi manipulation
I'd say his mother's reiatsu protecting him from king Fischer was a kind of blut veine as the explanation they gave doesnt convince me, it being his mother's reitsu doing a blut veine makes more sense as she was very proficient at it
Kubo foreshadowing is mind blowing!!
Yoooo! I have no idea, untill i saw a post in Facebook of ichigo having a Quincy form and i search if it's true. And there we go it's confirmed 👌
I knew he was half Quincy when they showed his mother's body with all the Quincy standing around it at that time they didn't say it was his mother but they used the same pose and everything in the same picture of his mother's body but shadowed out
love the video man keep it up
I loved it all and I will save this the next five minutes I think the coolest moment will be when Ichigo quinches it and it revivals how much takes up of the soul scene
I love kubo Easter eggs. In the soul society fighting kenpachi we see White. Then his Fullbring powers before he perfected it. He had the Quincy blade
Seeing this animated was crazy
I love that getsuga ichigo is basically him turning into yhwach with black hair and red eyes
The problem with the mugetsu is that Ichigos Dad's sword didn't want to teach him either. So I think that is something that the Shiba clan has not a Quincy thing.
Or is just a Shinigami next form after Bankai. To fuse one with your sword. Aizen did it too and became KS. In BBS Byakuya obtained the form too.
@@blazingocean4206 2 Thing's wish those brave souls Greater Then BANKAI forms were cannon. Till day I always loved the concept of the form after BANKAI or merging with your sword.
I feel omz represents ichigo mom will to protecting him and wanting him to live a peaceful life
Could u maybe do a vid about the soul king?
Yess
so can we assume that mugetsu is a more of a quincy unique technique mixed with some soul reaper remanance so mugetsu is a rare Quincy technique 🗿😳
It's also a Shiba only technique so very rare tbh
I guess now Ichigo and his sisters can steal Uryu's "Last Quincy" title lol
The fact Uryuu Ishida keeps associating himself with Ichigo and his friends despite promising his dad he wouldn't associate with shinigami anymore is a strong hint he knows Ichigo hardly classifies as shinigami, and not just because Ichigo uses the moniker of substitute shinigami.
Ok, that thing about the bed clearly blew up my mind.
It seems kubo did foreshadow Ichigo as a Quincy for a while and didn’t uryu fix Kon and sew a Quincy cross onto him at one point too
heheh Kubo is good to have lads like you
Wot’s the song name at 4:20 min? Any help is much appreciated
What's the OST called that starts around 2:33?
The foreshadowing is insane and My brain is shit af coz I've watched every second of Bleach but never recognised it....
I was reading bleach when it finished, but I got into the series pretty late. I'm not exactly sure where the story was when I caught up, but I know I was weekly when it finished for sure. That being said, I didn't follow any forums, theories or anything like that. I just talked about it with a couple friends.
Were there people that were sus of zangetsu? When the white said he was "the real" one, were there people that knew there was more to his zanpakto? Did people think he was a Quincy before the tybw arc? Because I more or less binged the fact majority of it, nothing stood out like that I guess? Idk. It's also been so long, I'm not entirely sure what I thought back then. I don't think my buddies brought anything like that up either.
Might be reaching but I'd like to add that even in ichigos theme he's referred to a shining star. Could be some overlap with the insignia of the Wadenreich.
@DBZimran
we know Ichigo has a relation to the number 15 - it is shown on his bedroom door, and his name literally translates to 1 5
we have always been told the number 15 represents a guardian in japanese - a protector
however i want to touch on the subject of hell.
"Phosphorus is a nonmetallic chemical element with symbol P and atomic number 15"
So the Quincy sheet joke in the abridged wasn't just a running gag
I wish he had a sealed zapato form as nd from there choose which side to show for example a hollow resection form full power to a true soul reaper form
Old man Zangetsu probably used ranso tengai to temporarily stop his bleeding.
I always wanted to see a version of vollstanding of Ichigo. If he can achieve Bankai and resurrection why not vollstanding which is the ultimate technique of the Quincy.
whats his resurrection?
@@rustageff2277 the form he show in his fight against Ulquiorra. Kubo said is possible that vizards can do resurrection like tosen too.
@@hey608 but that form he fought with ulq was vasto lorde form which is an ig the highest stage of idk hollow or smth it was said
@@hey608 Wish his true BANKAI was combination of his Inner=TensaZangusta Vasto=Lordo and Zangusta=Mugestu form.
the vollstandig does not exist anymore since Yhwach use auswahlen to stole all of his comrades reiatsu even the sternritters and schutzstaffel before ichigo fights him....
Well Ichigo is one of only three people that have dual wieldings o
i wish we got to see more
I hate that the spirit ribbon thing is basically never used after its intoxication. It's a really cool concept
Hey man how do you feel about Baki?
I wish Ichigo used more Quincy abilities instead of spamming getsuga tenshos hopefully Kubo incorporates that with the anime and adult Ichigo
I think as a quincy ability it can use the shadows as the old Zangetsu does
Kash Jackson you're expecting too much. Ichigo probably doesn't even have his quincy powers anymore since Yhwach absorbed them along with his Hollow powers. we still don't know what his bankai does or what it potentially could do.
Ichigo can always use getsuga juisho
@@phantombigboss8429 in the cfyow novels shunsui stated that Ichigo gained all his powers back shortly after yhwach died
Ppl don't forget there is one power there not mention is in the movie want the hell what call there have one more from that the bone demon. So that's is say there about totally five from maybe more.
3:05 ayo wtf that can't be real
thats goota be a mere coincidence theres no freaking way
I never expected. Wow
I only started watching bleach after the manga was completed, so all theory channels already knew the truth by then. But before the tybw was there anyone who had connected the subtle hints and theorized about it, or was this a shock to everyone?
A couple thoughts/questions:
Did Ichigo also get some shinigami powers from Masaki? Remember white was basically a vizard, a hollowfied shinigami.
Also why wasn't it made a big deal Ichigo survived the aushwallen? He was also an impure quincy just like his mom and uryu.
Once Ichigo was born White was transfered to his body, therefore he was the only Hollow/Quincy during it
@@CelVini yeah, so he should've been hit by the aushwallen... it was supposed to go after all non pure blood quincies, and Ichigo... and his sisters? Aren't pure blooded quincies.
@@daymianhogue1634 When Misaki was untainted she was a pure blood. After white fused with she became tainted but Isshin soul was able to cancel that out and leave her in like a living stasis until Ichigo was born and he gained portions from both parents and all of white. After that she wasn't pure but any protection she had or infused mix was removed from which I think made it all the easier for Aushwallen too work, Ichigo being the weird hybrid and technically still living off the soul protection that was gifted from Isshin to his mother to him I think it protected his powers because all his powers were jumbled and dormant
Bloody hell now i know why aizen always kept an eye for ichigo he wanted to use him to replace the current system
Or does he expect to use ichis son for that
Did hollow ichigo had a line stating to to old mam Z, "hes the king" or something along those lines
Getsuga Tenshou is a Shinigami ability though. 🫤 Isshin used it similarly to Ichigo.
Ichigo also used blut vene anhaben when he grabbed white's sword and it was turning black
what happens when tensa zangetsu merges with hollow ichigo? shouldnt he have gotten the horn of salvation then?
Yup that's why when hollow ichigo and tensa zangestu combined, the final form had a horn one 1 side and the other the quincy side foreshadowing ichigos
Horn of salvation
