Well guys, this is it. To those who came along for the ride, thank you so much. I’m here to stay and There are a lot more Kubology lessons on the horizon. Hit that subscribe button and help me get to 20K!!!
do you have any idea when will start new ark or even if he have a plan to continue of the new ark or it was just for hiping of the show coming back ? Now let me tell this that im huge fan of bleachno questions askt.
Theory. I always had a hunch that Aizen was hoping Ichigo and Orihime would get together so he could see what they would produce as a child (he was very interested in both their abilities) what if to him, he sees this as another experiment and has a great interest in their son as well. If Kazui has Ichigo’s abilities but also god-like powers of Orihime (but doesn’t hesitate to use them destructively) Kazui’s very existence could be a great theeat. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes credit for bringing Ichigo and Orihime together (by what transpired in the Arrancr Arc).
Wouldn’t Kazui only be Shinigami, Quincy, and Orihime’s powers? I was under the impression he couldn’t have Hollow powers since White was already passed down by Masaki and fused with Ichigo’s zanpakuto,
I should add, Ichigo being a translator has another layer when you add the fact every faction “speaks” a different a language. The Soul Reapers speak Japanese, The Quincy speak German, The Hollows speak Spanish and the Fullbringers speak English. By speaking, I mean the names they use. Having a part of each one in him make him being a translator a cool nod to that.
im actually have been wandering about this,is all soul that have been dead all around the world when they get to soul society did all of them suddenly can speak Japanese ?
Its convenient plot language does not matter. Even the captains understand English, Spanish, and German. Not once did any of them act like there was a language barrier.
Man this Arc can be monumental for Bleach as a whole. This could lead up to a potential sequel or even a complete ending(I'd prefer it being a sequel, because that would mean more Bleach). So many things could happen with this Arc like for character development purposes we could meet Ichigo's mother giving him proper closure along with his father and sisters. Seeing Kaien Shiba and Gin would be great character developing moments for Rukia, Rangiku, Ichigo and Isshin altogether. Seeing Yama, Unohana and Ukitake will already be emotional and great for the Bleach cast, I could make a list of people and things that could be expected or hoped to be expected in the Arc which just shows how great this Arc could be, I'm trusting Kubo to deliver greatness.
I would like a Dark Souls scenario where the characters who were remembered as heroes are the villains Ichigo has to put down in order to "free" them from their past mistakes/failures
fucking yawn. this is just like burrito. who gives a fuck about bitchigo? even the tybw arc was mid at best. the ending was worse than fairy tail's ending. bleach is hit or miss and peaked at soul society arc.
only those with overwhelimg Reiatsu would be transferred to Hell so idk if Masaki has that much in her. and besides the Hollow Grand Fisher already devoured her soul.
It's been quite the ride examining Ichigo's character. I like that we caught a glimpse of his post TYBW life and that he's become a translator in his human civil life. It's also great how many recognize him as the savior of the worlds while he still remains grounded and humble, bemused by his fame and objecting to the Hollow sacrifice of the ceremony. Then seeing him in action against hell's demons was badass, whatever comes with Kazui and hell we can be certain he and the others will hold the line, it's only natural.
what character? he's the typical shounen protagonist type quiet. not as annoying as asta or over the top like luffy. his personality is at times like a cardboard. you guys are reaching so hard to develop character for him.
@@pandapo7542 Who's reaching for anything, what are you talking about? We look at Ichigo as a person not a Shounen protagonist... He legit behaves as a normal human so we watch him mature in that aspect as a Shinigami and person. Us getting a glimpse of his post Tybw life was a nice touch. He has a job, wife a son and lives normally(besides being a powerful Shinigami)just as his character is supposed to be like... He's human not Shounen and we love that about Ichigoat, he's realistic. Stop being weird and hating your in the wrong comment section if your not a fan.
@@philipcarey3213 So you mean just like boruto naruto? lol expand your horizon of shounen ichigo is a good shounen protag but there are many shounen chars who arent like luffy and young naruto
All I want from Kubo, is to keep delivering the work he's best at. The fights, world building, character development, the relationships of the characters.
2:35 Its said in the novels that Ichigo has a degree in English Literature. So I think its same to assume he translates english-japanese texts or vice-versa
I'm not really feeling the "Ichigo has to fight Kazui" thing personally. Bleach has a reoccurring theme of breaking cycles that cause stagnation. I think it's more likely that Kazui might be taken to Hell at one point (probably by Ywach's spirit) for the purpose of making him a replacement for Ywach's body, attempting to break him by without context revealing that he sent souls to Hell indiscriminately, but I don't think we're going to repeat the "sons killing their fathers" thing, instead that cycle will be broken, with Ichigo reflecting on the little things that ended up causing him to lose a connection with his son. So instead of Ichigo's "focus" being too small, like where his Inner World digressed into the Small Karakura Town, instead he got so focused, even unconsciously on the "big picture", more individual aspects of his life were affected.
@@Joshua_Shadow_Manriguez Ywach’s soul was not in Hell. It’s the same as his father the Soul King. He got his father’s power. CFYOW Royal Guards survived the same way Ichibei did because of Oken. (They indeed really died) Basically a life linked to whoever’s the current Soul King. Because Oken’s powered by the power of Soul King. Therefore Ywach(Soul King) is in perpetual state of both life and death like what happened to his father we got sealed by the five noble houses.
Part of Ichigo's translation job is a callback to his profile in the first volume of the manga which listed William Shakespeare as the person he admires most as a teenager.
HOLD UP... Remember when Shrieker was sent to Hell(basically the first showing of Hell in Bleach)the gate keeper at that time(Ukitake is the new gate keeper of Hell)had red skin with facial and arm tattoos appearing as this giant Oni with a cleaver as a sword... Kenpachi in Bankai has red skin, body covered with tattoos, wields a scabbard looking sword/meat cleaver and takes up the look of an Oni, what if Kenpachi was actually from Hell and somehow ended up in the Soul Society... Was it by accident? Did someone send him there and he has no memory or even had a say in it?
BROOOOO thats a crazy good theory! And it lines up too! I don't remember which chapter it was, but the cover art when Kenpachi was fighting Unohana when he was a kid. The way he was staring at the pile of dead bodies he didn't look human. His gaze was stuck on the bodies. Another clue could also be when Tosen confronted kenny in the soul society arc. He called him a "demon" or "savage" I believe.
its truly sad to see this series end as it made me really enjoy your content. thanks for your hard work rebirth. can't wait to see your upcoming character analysis of both orihime and Aizen sama.
I stoped bleach when Aizen was defeated by Ichigo. I was a teenager back then. A few months ago i came back to bleach. The story hits different when you an adult. I hope to see a good hell arc, now that I'm a father. Many storys get a different hit, when you becom a parent. I hope it will not be to hard for me :)
Be real, between all 4 major powers combined and the unique ability to reject almost all phenomena, is anyone really surprised Kazui can do stuff like open portals to hell, instaBattlePass into Soul Reaper powers, make friends with spirits, and potential wreck some pretty powerful people? I'm not, it seems pretty expected, considered how we see different soul type and powers stack so far. I expect he can do more, like reject things without need for shunshunrika, likely with ease, and that's not even bringing up if he had a zanpakuto and if so what level was he, could he even do shikai, what ability does it have, like he's op.
I mean, Shinigami and Fullbring powers aren’t genetic, and hollow powers technically aren’t either. White is an exception that bonded with Ichigo’s soul specifically. He would get Quincy powers, but he’s like 1/4th Quincy, and Ichigo would’ve never gotten Quincy powers without 1.) Getting Shinigami Powers first 2.) Getting those hidden Quincy powers jolted up by Quilge and 3.) Getting his true zanpakuto, and even then he can’t use any Quincy abilities at will Yuzu and Karin are just as much Quincy as Ichigo is but don’t have all these circumstances, and Kazui is less Quincy than them He does get the Shiba bloodline high reiatsu technically due to Ichigo’s lineage and Orihime having high Reiatsu in general, but Isshin is a Captain level shinigami and Masaki could one shot White, but Ichigo was above average human level before getting sub shini powers, and Yuzu and Karin are also average for their age So basically, on paper Kazui being broken sounds obvious but when you overthink it like I did, it falls apart lmao
Definitely not surprised. Kazui is like the Franklin Richard's of Bleach. Both of his parents are super powered, and as a kid he's absolutely busted. Right from the get go he's one of the strongest characters in the Marvel universe, and can do basically anything and everything he wants. Kazui seems to be in the same vein.
@@jlack1985no he isn’t broken he technically doesn’t have much Quincy in him, if he’s hollow then he’s only half, 1/4 shinigami at best, he’s a full bring cause of the human side, but if you add all that up he is actually weaker than ichigo he just has a different power and skill set than his father. So honestly I only see him maybe being on the same level if not a little lower than ichigo. You have to consider that ichigo has been in hell already and he knows how to obtain a he’ll guard badge to get that hell armor. So he’s quiet aware of how to manipulate hell reshi but also again in this manage if you can escape to the very bottom of hell then it isn’t that bad there’s really no responsibility once you get to one of the safe zones. So why would anyone want to leave? Another thing is if a reaper goes to hell he becomes 100 times stronger. So yeah kazui makes sense him being a balancer to get rid of the gates of hell to seal them in hell basically and only control who comes and goes through the portals.
@@radicalred474 He seems pretty busted. He can't be more than maybe 6 and he's able to just get rid of the last bits of Yhwach's reiatsu by simply touching it. After Yhwach absorbs the soul king, he has so much reiatsu that it starts flowing off of him, falling down the the soul society, and starts fighting and killing soul reapers. If he's just able to get rid of something like that by touching it, he's pretty damn strong. He can open portals to hell and can transform into a shinigami at will (both of those we've never seen before). When he grows up a bit he'll be a straight up boss. Just because he has less amounts of quincy, hollow, or soul reaper doesn't mean he necessarily has less potential than Ichigo. I know she's not particularly strong, but Orihime is busted in her own right. If Kazui gets some of her powers passed down to him, he could have some crazy abilities with the strength to make them devastating. The movies aren't canon. Sucks, because the Hell-verse movie was dope af, but none of that stuff is canon. Yet, anyway. The only canon things know about hell come from chapter 12 in the manga, and then we learned nothing more until the one shot Kubo dropped last year.
I really see nothing pointing towards a clash with his son. He is literally a child and there has been no displayed conflict. I definitely see it as him being important and relevant and his genetics being vital. Bach was not Ichigos father and they never were presented as that. As an ancestor, yes. As a father? Never. Other Quincies were often given their power, not born directly from Bach, so never really his "children" either.
I really want this arc to happen and I hope it's a very long one because there's so much content Kubo can and should explore and expand upon. Also I hope you're right and Kasui really cuts Ichigo, it'd be tragic but so cool to witness if well executed of course. Keep up the great work.
imo , im sure that ichigo will get another character development , if what ywach said was true then we can be sure that he will come back from revenge, not in the form we know him but as kazui and maybe ichigo will have to sacrifice something in order to get rid of ywach
BROOO... Valid point. He did say he "curses" them and that he'd be back at everyone's "happiest" time and ruin all again. If he possessed Kazui that would be nuts and would make some sense considering how odd he behaves... But at the same time I feel like that's just Kazui's nature, I think Yhwach will return in another way or even be rebuilt by someone who comes across his sealed away body.
@@philipcarey3213 I don't think it's so simple as just "coming across Yhwachs sealed away body" mostly because he is sealed in the Royal Palace after all. So Yhwachs "Spirit", "Ghost" or "will" (or whatever you want to call it) coming back using the Quincys that are left alive is more likely to happen.
I really hope that it’s not a family conflict. They’ve been done too many times in stories, like one brother would always turns out evil or manipulated somehow and the power of familial love save the day in they end.
Bleach has not done this and I think Kubo will execute it differently. I think it’s even more overdone if it’s the classic “someone is pulling the strings behind Kazui and deceiving him”. That’s cliche. Kazui actually bring so “pure” that right and wrong appear similar to him is much more intriguing to me
@@flameofrebirth101 I agree, even the whole power of friendship moments in bleach aren't really the normal way either, even if they seem that way. Ichigo has to fight white and zetsu multiple times before he gains any actual power increase, and unlike most other characters, he can be defeated if he doesn't learn from his actual faults beforehand, and the fact that he has literally died at least 3 or 4 times. I think the way this is going to be handled is ichigo is going to aciendentily trap his son in hell because of some conflict with the current main antagonist at that part of the arc. His son ends up spending hundreds if not thousands of years in hell and finally becomes evil/curropted. I believe this is going to happen because there is so much lore about hell and the idea of time. Like the idea that spending a minute on earth could be like 40 years in hell, this is an cool concept and it would be interesting to see if it used.
@@rishabh3642 just because bleach had never done it, it don’t mean that the plot is not cliche. There are countless of other stories that did it and bleach don’t need that cliche shiz
Ichigo as a dad and him handling all this weight of his life should be key he didn't have to take on this role he chose to be the protector and his sons role will shape his char greatly
Random anecdote about your music: It's different Within Temptation instrumental edits to avoid copyright, but I heard the notes and it brought me back to when I saw an AMV in 2008 that got me into both that band and Bleach. Tldr: I love your content
Great vid as always man and great way to cap off this spectacular series. You really poured everything you had into this 9 chapter series and the hard work paid off! Glad you are growing and you 1000% deserve it man. I love the way you analyze kubos work and always ask the question "why". I hope Ichigo gets a lot more respect from the community before TYBW is released due to your content. Now as for this video, man was it good! I've seen some crazy theories where Kubo could take this hell arc but this a great one. The idea of deconsructing him one more time through fatherhood is good. The questions you asked would be really interesting and I wonder how Ichigo would handle them. Theres almost endless potential rn cuz we only got a chapter rn lol. I also noticed Ichigos translator job being a perfect fit for him as well lol. Simillar to Uryu's too. Even though he swore he'd never become a doctor. Either way, Im sure Kubo will take the arc in a good direction like always. You're on a roll fr. Consistent banger vids every week. You and Kubo cant miss fr lol. Looking forward to the orihime analysis because she seems to be hated on in the bleach community for no reason or stupid reasons lol. Also interested on your Aizen takes, but his analyses are pretty saturated ngl. I think I have a good understanding of him already. And Btw early congrats on 20k subs cuz Ik you bout to hit it real soon!
Imagine we get another chapter on August that would make my year on top of the anime coming back I really pray kubo sees all the love bleach will get with the return of the anime and decides to continue bleach I wanna see how strong ichigo is since I’m sure he mastered all his powers
I feel like the hell arc is going to be Kazui venturing into hell, ichigo learns about what’s been going on and dives in to save him along with a large rescue team sent by the soul society (potential Aizen involvement?) . A large battle in hell happens as they search for Kazui and the arc will end with ichigo teaching Kazui a lesson in responsibility. Bleach has quite a few parallels to Spider-Man and I think ichigo giving his son the “with great power comes great responsibility” speech is fitting. All in all I really want to see more on ichigos family relationship I want him more than anything to be a good dad and husband!
Personally I think fighting Kazui Is the last thing Ichigo would ever do and I doubt any of his friends would force him to make a decision like that. I mean at this point they know him too well to know his reaction. I'm expecting a passing of the torch story where Kazui realize that his innocent actions have led to trouble and plays an important role in stopping it. Kazui's potential is uncharted territory, but with what I've seen so far it looks like he has more of an affinity for Fullbriger because It's not just personal objects they can control the spirit particles of anything which he seems to be doing when making those flying fish and even opening a gate to hell.
true. but ngl i don't want this to be centered around the protagonist's offspring, i dont need a Boruto arc. Ichigo and Hell should be the main focus for now and let Kazui be a subplot for the chain of events.

Man! That was great!! Your analytics can really be used by guys who wants to write a story for themselves, it's been like you are teaching some stuff that could prolly help them develop their way of writing? That was thorough!! 💖
I believe this arc will focus on Ichigo's trust in Soul Society. Central 46 could have a negative reaction to Kazui's a abilities, Captains that Ichigo trusted being sent to Hell, or even seeing potential good people in Hell could cause for distrust between Ichigo and Soul Society and the same could be said for Kazui which could perhaps lead him to grow up like Aizen or Yhwach
Damn, at some point in the future I want to see Kazui and Ichika's bankais. It doesn't really seem like zanpakto's abilites and shapes are hereditary besides Ichigo and Isshin both having Getsuga Tensho.
id love to see ichigo having to confront his son and they fight, possibly motivated by the shinigami around him but orihime or the other humans stopping there fight and ichigo having to process the regret that he feels for trying to 'stop' his son, while also being judged by his friends for his actions, eventually leading back to certain emotions as investigated in previous deconstructions of ichigo where he could revisit past characters who he had learned from or had taught a message about that specific emotion/character trait, and so since ichigo would have the maturity from being an adult to properly reflect on his feeling and figure out how he is going to solve his turmoil he would be able to resolve his problems by himself, buuutttt by doing so he ends up pushing those close to him away, possibly by using the charactor that he reflect on being primarily antagonists or villains further concerning his close friends. also id wanna see lots of amazing fights casue the ichiGOAT is just too cool
Yeah, i don't think it will go that dark, but more of Ichigo as a father. Which makes sense, Ichigo as a father and husband. Also thanks for this saga of videos, which gave me new perspectives in certain aspects, there was stuff that i already agreed with you, but stuff that we see different, and that's fine that's how we learn and grow.
Not gonna lie... Hoping Kazui's hair turns black to reflect the Shiba clan and to give him a different appearance from his dad. Don't want that Goten treatment where you have a mini Goku with SSJ.
*Hell Arc Hopes and Wishes* 1. Explore the Southern Soul Society in Hell (in contrast to the Eastern (Shinigami) and Western (Witches) wings and then hint at the Northern (probably Heaven) Soul Society. (Yamamoto's Bankai is a map representing each of the 4 sides of the whole soul society, Eastern Japanese Katana, English Medieval Amor for west, Undead of Hell for South and Idk what north is) 2. Explore the process of souls coming around in death (is there a massive stockpile of Souls in Hell since they cant be reborn on Earth after, and whats the storage limit. Is Hell Over flowing with souls already?) 3. See past shinigami before Bleach timeline as well as how our recent captains adapt to Soul Reaper Warden squads where each member is captain level minimum in the currently by far bigger and most dangerous area of bleach even before shown (the picture where earth, soul society and hueco mundo look like small moons to Hell as Jupiter) 4. The Soul King's Emergence (since captains get sent to Hell, he is likely either down there or in the cycle of rebirth, potentially could loss memory or be corrupted in The process for new antagonist) 5. Ichigo's mastered powers. I would hate for him to be rusty like Naruto in Boruto. Like to think he heads over to the Soul Society and Heco Mindo to Train and duel while keeping good relations. Mastered Bankai also have layers to them so id loke to see the other layers to Tensa Zangestu and his other 3 power areas and combinations of that. 6. False Banaki Reveal. Renji's intial form of bankai was clearly false cause he was only partially worthy and able to handle Bankai back then. Its clear now since his shikai was alot faster and flexible than his false bankai. Its clear that characters that are very strong with clear flaws get this like Soi Fon's bankai is clearly false due to her suppression of her fast and flexible feminine self for a rough and clunky masculine persona, shown by her obession with Yorichi as she clearly cant tell between a friend, mother, sister, and romantic interest as she had none growing up, so in her confusion, she puts all 4 on Yorichi. This shows in her false bankai, as shikai should never better than bankai. So hopefully we can see her true bankai and other strong but flawed characters like her have true bankai as well. 7. Soul Society Souls Hopefully while exploring Son Fons true bankai we can see how oppressive the soul nobility and caste system is that lead to her problems. So by that some change for the common soul can occur as the Shinigami Headquarters is surrounding by slums on all sides. Through that it can hopefully lead to some actual development of Yorichi ending in her shikai and bankai reveal as she can see the problems in the soul society but then decides to take up responibility as the head of her clan to change it all as an adult women rather than running away to do whatever she feels like a little girl. Come Kisuke development can happen as well since he can make a technological advancement for the common soul's situation to drastically improve, as both kisuke and yorichi have child like qualities that need to be matured and probably why they haven't gotten together thus far since neither is mature enough to sustain a serious committed relationship with the other, since both run away from responsibility left by their parents (as Kisuke is likely the son of that string weaving women of the 0 squad), and probably why they connect with each other on a deeper level than Soi Fon could. 8. Ishida Developement and Qunicy Renewal. Ishida should be able to renew and transform the quincy. He should have greater power and a trad quincy wife. Dont want all the cool quincy powers to go to waste and there is clearly a greater threat into Hell where Ishida can come into his and stop taking the back seat to shinigami all the time.
You make alot of good points, but it is concerning how you project "child-like" qualities onto Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Kisuke and seem a little too into shipping Yoruichi and Soi Fon.
I love how you left pauses for the crescendo of the song to kick in. For those wondering. It's the instrumental of the song What Have You Done by Within Temptation.
I have a theory but this have many flaws I believe Ichigo will sacrifice himself to save his son, similar how his mother sacrifice herself to protect her beloved son Ichigo .Ichigo is face a similar situation how his mother died, this moment as a parent he has to protect and save his child .There will be a moment that will shock everyone and perhaps change bleach world as we know today .horrible case scenario, tragedy stroke when Ichigo might gave his life up to save Kazui, and Kazui in the same position Ichigo was when he lost his mother, and Kazui came a full realization to the truth. Ichigo might died, goes to hell, and change like a different person as if being posses. Kazui and the rest characters will go to save Ichigo. A son saving his father. Like do we who's the head of hell itself, perhaps this person or should I say spirit needs a proper body vessel. Like, we all saw how the chapter ended seeing that creepy creature looking at Kazui as if all part of a plan or Kazui have a certain key for their plan. Kazui might be a perfect vessel for hell, but Ichigo saves his son and he's taken instead. Like I said this theory is huge stretch, but I like to share my thoughts. And don't worry I know how wrong my Theory is.
Beautiful video bro great content. Thank you for this and your music choices are on point! I believe that Yhwach's consciousness is inside Kazui because soon as Kazui touched the fragment every spiritual pressure of Yhwach just dissapeared. I think when Zangetsu saying Ichigo that "I didn't want you to become Soul Reaper because end of the day I will be the one who kill you" is a huge foreshadow..
I just hope it isn't just one arc, hope we get to see Azashiro and the others I just want to see Kubo handle Bleach without any pressure, to me personally Bleach as a whole felt like it was severely cut off, you can just tell how Kubo can expand Bleach but was limiting himself I remember reading about him not wanting to give others too much effort(though he handled the cast pretty well) bc Bleach is about Ichigo's journey I don't remember where I read it but now that Ichigo's journey is finished hope we get to see some world building, some characters to be fleshed out more and of course more cool designed characters etc. rn I just want more canon Bleach content and pls no next generation route PS. It's not a criticism so don't attack me lol
Wonder if he can get that power hell granted him before. The one he used in the movie to win. If he can summon that on his own, could be very interesting.
Surely Ichigo must have his concerns regarding his son. Inheriting a Hollow Shinigami power is not easy, being born a Shinigami without living in Soul Society and whatever powers Kazui inherits from Orihime might also be something that can lead to manny things. Ichigo obviously doesn't want Kazui to have to go through all the things he did. Idk if deconstructing Ichigo is the best aproach for how to deal with the next chapter. For as manny worries as Ichigo can have about Kazui, Ichigo also knows Kazui can comprehend and overcome those difficulties. Kazui has evryone on his side to help him with anything and from what we know, Kazui doesn't seem to be like Boruto at all, which is a huge relief. I don't think Kazui will do anything bad at all. What will happen is another example of Soul Society being Soul Society. Most likely there's a loophole to how Hell works and that loophole exists to keep the most powerful entities trapped in a place from where reincarnation can't happen. Aizen can't die so he can go to Hell, we know Hollows humans can, Hollows can and Shinigamis can so we have to assume any Soul of any Nature can go to Hell. Will this lead to the Quincies returning? Doubtful. What's most likely to happen is that due to the Soul King not existing anymore, the Boundaries between "worlds" are getting thinner and thinner and characters will take advantage of that. Ukitake might not be revealed as a villain at all but he might know what's behind all that is to make. Who knows, after the battle agains tthe Quincy, the Hosts of Hell might wanna take matters into their hands before their fate becomes one of non existence. All in all i don't think Ichigo needs another deconstruction, it would suck for him and for us to have to go through another power loss or huge emotional developement. We can let Ichigo be the Hero we know he is, WE NEED TO SEE WHAT THE BANKAI CAN DO PLEASE! Things can get really rough and even outmatch Ichigo but i don't wanna see him Despair again. It would be unreasonable to undo what has been done already. IT would be what DB Super did with Gohan who went from being the strongest, to not even being able to maintain Super Saiyan form to now again being really strong because they've redone the Cell arc in a new movie...
I see what you mean but I disagree. I don't think it would be a bad idea for Ichigo to be deconstructed again as long as it's done right. The way its executed is what matters IMO. He doesn't necessarily have to be on top of the world for him to show us his bankai. It's been 10 years. I'm sure he's mastered it by now. The conflict Ichigo could have with Kazui, the soul society, and hell could be really good. The moral dilemmas that could arise have great potential.
@@gregllo424 But those dilemmas can occur without you having to make Ichigo look weak. By now Ichigo should have learned something about himself and those closest to him, he doesn't need to be deconstructed and shown as vulnerable to show that he cares, that he worries, that he has burdens, that he's the one everyone is counting on when things go wrong. Saitama never looks weak and he's a great character, we've seen moments where Saitama was stressed or doubting something but he just simply moves on, he never shows weakness BUT HE HAS real world concerns, he's still HUMAN. This is why Saitama works where Superman can be perceived as a pretentious prick, because Superman isn't human, he has none of the concerns a human has. Superman doesn't need food but you do see Saitama worried about FOOD, he needs to go to the supermarket and get his food, and he worries about discounts too. Ichigo can be that too because Ichigo is human, Ichigo has the same worries, he doesn't need to be shown super weak or shocked or vulnerable.
@@SouSporting I agree. I was going to mention that as well in my previous comment. Just because Ichigo gets deconstructed doesn't mean he has to despair. Even in TYBW he acted differently when he received bad news or information. Like at the end of the 1st invasion when Yhwach tells him about his mother. The old Ichigo would've reacted very differently than TYBW Ichigo. I don't think deconstruction means he has to be weak or in despair. But he should show concern and react differently to the problem that kubo presents him with.
What exactly is boruto and why don't we like that? From what I gather he's confident like any other mc, he's smart and a prodigy at basically everything he tries. He started out hating his dad because he basically never had time to be an actual dad. He didn't want to be a ninja at first and that's okay, he has peaceful and non militarized options in life that the previous generation fought for, but then that presents the problem of we have no idea what boruto wants besides freedom, he defaults to the role of being a hero because everyone is in danger. His ultimate goal is probably to protect the village from behind the scenes like sasuke does. Can't say I found him very compelling but I didn't keep up with it so who knows. Kazui on the other hand we basically know nothing about, they seem like a happy go lucky kid in a terrifying world, it almost seems like they live in lala land with giant magical fish and they have no idea what they are doing, perhaps they are being compelled to use their powers by an unseen force or being. In any case they are probably inanely strong. Oh yeah and ichigo is probably gonna die later like the death flags are there with the weird fish metaphor.
I'm rly excited for this arc,I wonder how Ichigo will react now that he's more mature and got the strength to oppose soul society if it happens and kazui seems rly interesting and doesn't seem like your typical simple shounen kid
100% agree that Ichigo - Kazui conflict will be peak. Kinda like Dante being so focused on the fate of the world that he without single hestitaion jumped at Vergil to kill him. Maybe even throw in there a certain Quincy woman who died long time ago, since we don't know what happens to them after death 👀👀👀👀
So if Kubo does not hire you himself we’re going to have to start a protest just so you can get hired as his contact creator lol but great job that was express thoroughly and it brought to mind so many more details that one might’ve missed just by reading the manga itself but you were able to break down the complexity of the ideas about each ego that some of us probably never even considered an how much more deeper it goes with his new life his life as a shinigami and all that together so keep up the good work and I look forward to watching your next video I can’t wait
I hope they kill byakuya like Kubo originally wanted to. I want to see byakuya as a hell guardian in the hell arc. That's probably what he was originally planning to do but all the fangirls cried and Kubo changed it.
I think this arc will let Kazui play a great role since he has the power to open the gates of hell. Can't wait to see what Kubo is cooking for the plot. Imagine the new captains battling the original Gotei 13 and other old characters in hell arc.
Especially since Bleach power system has a lot of hax powers, and a lot of the battles consist of hax abilities clashing against each other but Ichigo all he ever was given is raw power or in other words, brute force which is typical shonen protagonist, the only character I can think that is like Ichigo is Kenpachi. So I also agree that it would make more sense for his bankai to be have a hax ability instead of being just more brute force.
This why I like bleach. It power system is just spirit matter or reishi. From here all the various forms and abilities all stem from this core fact. Yet what we haven't explored is various forms of Reishi. We know there's mortal reishi your common day to day. Then each characters strong personality, history, beliefs shape this reishi. Yet what happens when massive amounts of Reishi loses its identity. Yamamoto and Yhwach levels were vastly abundant. So without an identity how will this reishi react
I feel like Kazui is not sending souls to hell for no reason. Maybe since he has god-like power he could sense that the balance of the world was in danger because of the disparition of Yahwach's and deads captains' reatsu. Because the soul society, hueco mondo and living world will collapse, it makes sense to send souls in the remaining dimension, Hell.
My personal thought about the new arc was that he’d fight the soul reapers that Yhwach was talking about. The old captains he claimed were much stronger then the current once’s as well as Quincy’s and hollows from the era. They’ve always said they were strong and just different from what they are in the current story so I feel like it would be cool to see that explored as well as some of the pain/problems it might bring ichigo to fight some of the captains that died when we was around like Yamato or Unohana. Having said that there isn’t much that supports my idea besides one sentence during the main story and some stuff from a side book, I just think it would be fun. It also doesn’t really go into him having a kid and family and all that like this video talked about. This video is more likely to be what the new arc is about but ether way I think it would be a lot of fun.
Personally I wish to see Kazui and Ichigo unite rather than battle to the death. Ichigo went against the norm of the soul society and I believe it's only fair if Kazui goes against the norm of sons killing their fathers.
Does anyone think ichigo will likely unlock a new hollow form in the upcoming hell arc? Maybe an upgraded form of what he used against ywach or even a resurrection
I think it maybe another mastermind working behind to allow Kazui send all the souls to hell in order to gather more power to either escape or cause another hell war arc
That's probably what's happening. Szayelapporro seemed to have a connection to Warden of Hell since that's how he learned about Ichika so I'm assuming that's the villain of this arc
Yep, that's anime for you. When I 1st saw the end of BLEACH and the power of that kid,akin to a Western Franklin Richards. I thought standard anime rules would put a rift between father and son. So I highly agree with you.
The way I see it, is that kazui is just a child so they are innocently making a mistake, and doesnt understand what they are doing. But Im not really for the son vs father thing, as it been done too many times
I agree 100% with the title. Because, unlike some shows **cough cough Naruto** , Bleach Part 2 went with something that wasn’t (pardon the pun) alien to its original vision.
Well guys, this is it. To those who came along for the ride, thank you so much. I’m here to stay and There are a lot more Kubology lessons on the horizon. Hit that subscribe button and help me get to 20K!!!
Pin your comment please.
Thank YOU so much! Let's get the 20K.
this video was amazing keep up the good work🙏🙏
do you have any idea when will start new ark or even if he have a plan to continue of the new ark or it was just for hiping of the show coming back ? Now let me tell this that im huge fan of bleachno questions askt.
No. not road to 20k... its road to 100k now
Ichigo about to unlock a new power against kazui: the belt.
😂😂😂
Hahaha 😂
And if Kazui transforms Ichigo can just use the red thing that keeps his shikai on his back.
BANKAI!
BELT OF DEATH
Nah fr kid needs an @ss whoopin before he goes into that Aizen path.
Theory. I always had a hunch that Aizen was hoping Ichigo and Orihime would get together so he could see what they would produce as a child (he was very interested in both their abilities) what if to him, he sees this as another experiment and has a great interest in their son as well. If Kazui has Ichigo’s abilities but also god-like powers of Orihime (but doesn’t hesitate to use them destructively) Kazui’s very existence could be a great theeat. I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes credit for bringing Ichigo and Orihime together (by what transpired in the Arrancr Arc).
Aizen: It’s all according to the plan.
@@bokuwatobi51 💛
Maybe the villain of the Hell Arc is responsible for this and is after Kazui and possibly gave him the Hell abilities
Can't control love. Not even if u play 5d chess like aizen.
Emotions have no logic to them.
Wouldn’t Kazui only be Shinigami, Quincy, and Orihime’s powers? I was under the impression he couldn’t have Hollow powers since White was already passed down by Masaki and fused with Ichigo’s zanpakuto,
I should add, Ichigo being a translator has another layer when you add the fact every faction “speaks” a different a language. The Soul Reapers speak Japanese, The Quincy speak German, The Hollows speak Spanish and the Fullbringers speak English. By speaking, I mean the names they use. Having a part of each one in him make him being a translator a cool nod to that.
bleach would be so different if ichigo DIDNT SPEAK 4 LANGUAGES
Just noticed this coo
im actually have been wandering about this,is all soul that have been dead all around the world when they get to soul society did all of them suddenly can speak Japanese ?
Its convenient plot language does not matter. Even the captains understand English, Spanish, and German. Not once did any of them act like there was a language barrier.
He must've expertised English, it was stated by Kubo that Ichigo had very good grades in English
Man this Arc can be monumental for Bleach as a whole. This could lead up to a potential sequel or even a complete ending(I'd prefer it being a sequel, because that would mean more Bleach). So many things could happen with this Arc like for character development purposes we could meet Ichigo's mother giving him proper closure along with his father and sisters. Seeing Kaien Shiba and Gin would be great character developing moments for Rukia, Rangiku, Ichigo and Isshin altogether. Seeing Yama, Unohana and Ukitake will already be emotional and great for the Bleach cast, I could make a list of people and things that could be expected or hoped to be expected in the Arc which just shows how great this Arc could be, I'm trusting Kubo to deliver greatness.
I would like a Dark Souls scenario where the characters who were remembered as heroes are the villains Ichigo has to put down in order to "free" them from their past mistakes/failures
Yeah, Hell Arc just as a movie is too unjustified. You can do better, can't you? Just don't rush the episodes like you're doing with TYBW😢
@@ControlMajnu- I agree with all 4 of everybody comments.
fucking yawn. this is just like burrito. who gives a fuck about bitchigo? even the tybw arc was mid at best. the ending was worse than fairy tail's ending. bleach is hit or miss and peaked at soul society arc.
only those with overwhelimg Reiatsu would be transferred to Hell so idk if Masaki has that much in her. and besides the Hollow Grand Fisher already devoured her soul.
It's been quite the ride examining Ichigo's character. I like that we caught a glimpse of his post TYBW life and that he's become a translator in his human civil life. It's also great how many recognize him as the savior of the worlds while he still remains grounded and humble, bemused by his fame and objecting to the Hollow sacrifice of the ceremony. Then seeing him in action against hell's demons was badass, whatever comes with Kazui and hell we can be certain he and the others will hold the line, it's only natural.
what character? he's the typical shounen protagonist type quiet. not as annoying as asta or over the top like luffy. his personality is at times like a cardboard. you guys are reaching so hard to develop character for him.
@@pandapo7542 Who's reaching for anything, what are you talking about? We look at Ichigo as a person not a Shounen protagonist... He legit behaves as a normal human so we watch him mature in that aspect as a Shinigami and person. Us getting a glimpse of his post Tybw life was a nice touch. He has a job, wife a son and lives normally(besides being a powerful Shinigami)just as his character is supposed to be like... He's human not Shounen and we love that about Ichigoat, he's realistic. Stop being weird and hating your in the wrong comment section if your not a fan.
@@philipcarey3213 So you mean just like boruto naruto? lol expand your horizon of shounen ichigo is a good shounen protag but there are many shounen chars who arent like luffy and young naruto
@@Peraliq Naruto is nothing like Ichigo and vice versa lol.
All I want from Kubo, is to keep delivering the work he's best at. The fights, world building, character development, the relationships of the characters.
2:35 Its said in the novels that Ichigo has a degree in English Literature. So I think its same to assume he translates english-japanese texts or vice-versa
I'm not really feeling the "Ichigo has to fight Kazui" thing personally. Bleach has a reoccurring theme of breaking cycles that cause stagnation. I think it's more likely that Kazui might be taken to Hell at one point (probably by Ywach's spirit) for the purpose of making him a replacement for Ywach's body, attempting to break him by without context revealing that he sent souls to Hell indiscriminately, but I don't think we're going to repeat the "sons killing their fathers" thing, instead that cycle will be broken, with Ichigo reflecting on the little things that ended up causing him to lose a connection with his son. So instead of Ichigo's "focus" being too small, like where his Inner World digressed into the Small Karakura Town, instead he got so focused, even unconsciously on the "big picture", more individual aspects of his life were affected.
Me too
CFYOW revealed what happened to Yhwach so it would be a different villain
@@DTK625 I'm talking about his soul in Hell. Hence why I said as a replacement body. They used Ywach's corpse to replace the Soul King.
@@Joshua_Shadow_Manriguez Ywach’s soul was not in Hell. It’s the same as his father the Soul King. He got his father’s power. CFYOW Royal Guards survived the same way Ichibei did because of Oken. (They indeed really died)
Basically a life linked to whoever’s the current Soul King. Because Oken’s powered by the power of Soul King.
Therefore Ywach(Soul King) is in perpetual state of both life and death like what happened to his father we got sealed by the five noble houses.
@@imthemobby and even if it were possible, the Shinigami still need to perform Konso Resai in front of his supposed grave to put his soul into Hell.
Part of Ichigo's translation job is a callback to his profile in the first volume of the manga which listed William Shakespeare as the person he admires most as a teenager.
Do you guys think Orihime breastfed her son? Could this be why he turned out so powerful? Fullbringer Milk, and the power to reject in every sip.
WTF
Bro
My brotha in christ 💀
💀
Ayooo
HOLD UP... Remember when Shrieker was sent to Hell(basically the first showing of Hell in Bleach)the gate keeper at that time(Ukitake is the new gate keeper of Hell)had red skin with facial and arm tattoos appearing as this giant Oni with a cleaver as a sword... Kenpachi in Bankai has red skin, body covered with tattoos, wields a scabbard looking sword/meat cleaver and takes up the look of an Oni, what if Kenpachi was actually from Hell and somehow ended up in the Soul Society... Was it by accident? Did someone send him there and he has no memory or even had a say in it?
Bruh im like 100% positive that Kenny is a demon from Hell and like you said he somehow ended up in ss either by accident or a malicious entity.
BROOOOO thats a crazy good theory! And it lines up too! I don't remember which chapter it was, but the cover art when Kenpachi was fighting Unohana when he was a kid. The way he was staring at the pile of dead bodies he didn't look human. His gaze was stuck on the bodies. Another clue could also be when Tosen confronted kenny in the soul society arc. He called him a "demon" or "savage" I believe.
😉
its truly sad to see this series end as it made me really enjoy your content. thanks for your hard work rebirth. can't wait to see your upcoming character analysis of both orihime and Aizen sama.
It's gotta be sad for the Shinigami to watch Ichigo grow older until he's finally an old man while all of them are still the same.
Lol no he's hybrid
I think he's gonna age like Gohan.
But he gon go to the soul society when he dies?🤨
I have loved this series so much
I stoped bleach when Aizen was defeated by Ichigo. I was a teenager back then.
A few months ago i came back to bleach. The story hits different when you an adult. I hope to see a good hell arc, now that I'm a father. Many storys get a different hit, when you becom a parent. I hope it will not be to hard for me :)
Be real, between all 4 major powers combined and the unique ability to reject almost all phenomena, is anyone really surprised Kazui can do stuff like open portals to hell, instaBattlePass into Soul Reaper powers, make friends with spirits, and potential wreck some pretty powerful people? I'm not, it seems pretty expected, considered how we see different soul type and powers stack so far. I expect he can do more, like reject things without need for shunshunrika, likely with ease, and that's not even bringing up if he had a zanpakuto and if so what level was he, could he even do shikai, what ability does it have, like he's op.
considering his Asauchi is shaped like Ichigo's false Bankai, we may have a shot in seeing what Kazui's Shikai is in the future.
I mean, Shinigami and Fullbring powers aren’t genetic, and hollow powers technically aren’t either. White is an exception that bonded with Ichigo’s soul specifically.
He would get Quincy powers, but he’s like 1/4th Quincy, and Ichigo would’ve never gotten Quincy powers without 1.) Getting Shinigami Powers first 2.) Getting those hidden Quincy powers jolted up by Quilge and 3.) Getting his true zanpakuto, and even then he can’t use any Quincy abilities at will
Yuzu and Karin are just as much Quincy as Ichigo is but don’t have all these circumstances, and Kazui is less Quincy than them
He does get the Shiba bloodline high reiatsu technically due to Ichigo’s lineage and Orihime having high Reiatsu in general, but Isshin is a Captain level shinigami and Masaki could one shot White, but Ichigo was above average human level before getting sub shini powers, and Yuzu and Karin are also average for their age
So basically, on paper Kazui being broken sounds obvious but when you overthink it like I did, it falls apart lmao
Definitely not surprised. Kazui is like the Franklin Richard's of Bleach. Both of his parents are super powered, and as a kid he's absolutely busted. Right from the get go he's one of the strongest characters in the Marvel universe, and can do basically anything and everything he wants. Kazui seems to be in the same vein.
@@jlack1985no he isn’t broken he technically doesn’t have much Quincy in him, if he’s hollow then he’s only half, 1/4 shinigami at best, he’s a full bring cause of the human side, but if you add all that up he is actually weaker than ichigo he just has a different power and skill set than his father. So honestly I only see him maybe being on the same level if not a little lower than ichigo. You have to consider that ichigo has been in hell already and he knows how to obtain a he’ll guard badge to get that hell armor. So he’s quiet aware of how to manipulate hell reshi but also again in this manage if you can escape to the very bottom of hell then it isn’t that bad there’s really no responsibility once you get to one of the safe zones. So why would anyone want to leave? Another thing is if a reaper goes to hell he becomes 100 times stronger. So yeah kazui makes sense him being a balancer to get rid of the gates of hell to seal them in hell basically and only control who comes and goes through the portals.
@@radicalred474 He seems pretty busted. He can't be more than maybe 6 and he's able to just get rid of the last bits of Yhwach's reiatsu by simply touching it. After Yhwach absorbs the soul king, he has so much reiatsu that it starts flowing off of him, falling down the the soul society, and starts fighting and killing soul reapers. If he's just able to get rid of something like that by touching it, he's pretty damn strong. He can open portals to hell and can transform into a shinigami at will (both of those we've never seen before). When he grows up a bit he'll be a straight up boss.
Just because he has less amounts of quincy, hollow, or soul reaper doesn't mean he necessarily has less potential than Ichigo. I know she's not particularly strong, but Orihime is busted in her own right. If Kazui gets some of her powers passed down to him, he could have some crazy abilities with the strength to make them devastating.
The movies aren't canon. Sucks, because the Hell-verse movie was dope af, but none of that stuff is canon. Yet, anyway. The only canon things know about hell come from chapter 12 in the manga, and then we learned nothing more until the one shot Kubo dropped last year.
I really see nothing pointing towards a clash with his son. He is literally a child and there has been no displayed conflict. I definitely see it as him being important and relevant and his genetics being vital. Bach was not Ichigos father and they never were presented as that. As an ancestor, yes. As a father? Never. Other Quincies were often given their power, not born directly from Bach, so never really his "children" either.
I really want this arc to happen and I hope it's a very long one because there's so much content Kubo can and should explore and expand upon.
Also I hope you're right and Kasui really cuts Ichigo, it'd be tragic but so cool to witness if well executed of course.
Keep up the great work.
Tho we have to wait for when Kubo feels like continuing, but worth waiting! More bleach more fun!
yeah unlike that one movie, Kubo can really let loose in what Hell in his vision would actually look like.
Ichigo is about to discipline Kazui in the worst possible manner: Letting the mad Mayuri Kurotsuchi be his babysitter. ^0^
imo , im sure that ichigo will get another character development , if what ywach said was true then we can be sure that he will come back from revenge, not in the form we know him but as kazui and maybe ichigo will have to sacrifice something in order to get rid of ywach
BROOO... Valid point. He did say he "curses" them and that he'd be back at everyone's "happiest" time and ruin all again. If he possessed Kazui that would be nuts and would make some sense considering how odd he behaves... But at the same time I feel like that's just Kazui's nature, I think Yhwach will return in another way or even be rebuilt by someone who comes across his sealed away body.
@@philipcarey3213 I don't think it's so simple as just "coming across Yhwachs sealed away body" mostly because he is sealed in the Royal Palace after all. So Yhwachs "Spirit", "Ghost" or "will" (or whatever you want to call it) coming back using the Quincys that are left alive is more likely to happen.
@@jankieek8218 ah that's pretty realistic and if he can still use the Aushwalen I'm sure he could regain some strength if he was awaken just a bit
Sounds like they’ll turn that into the movie instead of a new arc.
You looked into our a lot more than me. And that's why I watch and love your videos. They give me now perspective on Bleach as a whole. Thanks Rebirth
This conclusion to your series was satisfying. Loved your vids. Can't wait for the next one. Please keep up the great work.
Ichigo:God being a dad is hard!
Naruto and Goku: First time?
I really hope that it’s not a family conflict. They’ve been done too many times in stories, like one brother would always turns out evil or manipulated somehow and the power of familial love save the day in they end.
Bleach has not done this and I think Kubo will execute it differently. I think it’s even more overdone if it’s the classic “someone is pulling the strings behind Kazui and deceiving him”. That’s cliche. Kazui actually bring so “pure” that right and wrong appear similar to him is much more intriguing to me
@@flameofrebirth101 I agree, even the whole power of friendship moments in bleach aren't really the normal way either, even if they seem that way. Ichigo has to fight white and zetsu multiple times before he gains any actual power increase, and unlike most other characters, he can be defeated if he doesn't learn from his actual faults beforehand, and the fact that he has literally died at least 3 or 4 times. I think the way this is going to be handled is ichigo is going to aciendentily trap his son in hell because of some conflict with the current main antagonist at that part of the arc. His son ends up spending hundreds if not thousands of years in hell and finally becomes evil/curropted. I believe this is going to happen because there is so much lore about hell and the idea of time. Like the idea that spending a minute on earth could be like 40 years in hell, this is an cool concept and it would be interesting to see if it used.
@@flameofrebirth101 hmmm probably Aizen big brain move again!!
Bleach had never done this whatever u are talking about.
@@rishabh3642 just because bleach had never done it, it don’t mean that the plot is not cliche. There are countless of other stories that did it and bleach don’t need that cliche shiz
Kubology=Greatest class to sit through
The only class I'll never sleep or fail on.
@@LegitproArts Facts
Ichigo as a dad and him handling all this weight of his life should be key he didn't have to take on this role he chose to be the protector and his sons role will shape his char greatly
Ichigo possibly would adopt Isshin's laissez-faire approach towards parenthood with Kazui.
I can see my self watching your content even as an Old man that's how timeless these videos are 💯👊🏾
What an AMAZING video!!! Really enjoyed this!! I love your comparison of his job as a translator to his role in the story. 🤩🤩🤩
Random anecdote about your music: It's different Within Temptation instrumental edits to avoid copyright, but I heard the notes and it brought me back to when I saw an AMV in 2008 that got me into both that band and Bleach. Tldr: I love your content
I'm actually surprised you didn't do a video on the Substitute ichigo but overall this series a fat W of a breakdown for his character
Great vid as always man and great way to cap off this spectacular series. You really poured everything you had into this 9 chapter series and the hard work paid off! Glad you are growing and you 1000% deserve it man. I love the way you analyze kubos work and always ask the question "why". I hope Ichigo gets a lot more respect from the community before TYBW is released due to your content.
Now as for this video, man was it good! I've seen some crazy theories where Kubo could take this hell arc but this a great one. The idea of deconsructing him one more time through fatherhood is good. The questions you asked would be really interesting and I wonder how Ichigo would handle them. Theres almost endless potential rn cuz we only got a chapter rn lol. I also noticed Ichigos translator job being a perfect fit for him as well lol. Simillar to Uryu's too. Even though he swore he'd never become a doctor.
Either way, Im sure Kubo will take the arc in a good direction like always. You're on a roll fr. Consistent banger vids every week. You and Kubo cant miss fr lol. Looking forward to the orihime analysis because she seems to be hated on in the bleach community for no reason or stupid reasons lol. Also interested on your Aizen takes, but his analyses are pretty saturated ngl. I think I have a good understanding of him already.
And Btw early congrats on 20k subs cuz Ik you bout to hit it real soon!
Man this arc would be so huge... I need to see Gin again smh
Yes another part!
I love watching these
Just starting the vid but I know you've aced this one as well.
Love your style; it's unlike any other BLEACH RUclipsr.
Imagine we get another chapter on August that would make my year on top of the anime coming back I really pray kubo sees all the love bleach will get with the return of the anime and decides to continue bleach I wanna see how strong ichigo is since I’m sure he mastered all his powers
I feel like the hell arc is going to be Kazui venturing into hell, ichigo learns about what’s been going on and dives in to save him along with a large rescue team sent by the soul society (potential Aizen involvement?) . A large battle in hell happens as they search for Kazui and the arc will end with ichigo teaching Kazui a lesson in responsibility. Bleach has quite a few parallels to Spider-Man and I think ichigo giving his son the “with great power comes great responsibility” speech is fitting. All in all I really want to see more on ichigos family relationship I want him more than anything to be a good dad and husband!
I just thought about this but ichigo is kinda similar to Peter Parker/Spider-Man if you Think about it the similarities are crazy
Personally I think fighting Kazui Is the last thing Ichigo would ever do and I doubt any of his friends would force him to make a decision like that. I mean at this point they know him too well to know his reaction. I'm expecting a passing of the torch story where Kazui realize that his innocent actions have led to trouble and plays an important role in stopping it. Kazui's potential is uncharted territory, but with what I've seen so far it looks like he has more of an affinity for Fullbriger because It's not just personal objects they can control the spirit particles of anything which he seems to be doing when making those flying fish and even opening a gate to hell.
true. but ngl i don't want this to be centered around the protagonist's offspring, i dont need a Boruto arc. Ichigo and Hell should be the main focus for now and let Kazui be a subplot for the chain of events.
true. but ngl i don't want this to be centered around the protagonist's offspring, i dont need a Boruto arc. Ichigo and Hell should be the main focus for now and let Kazui be a subplot for the chain of events.
So Boruto
Honestly I just wants shorts of Kazui and Kon being bros and looking out for each other on their adventures
amazing video dont stress about it im sure anything you do will be great
Man! That was great!! Your analytics can really be used by guys who wants to write a story for themselves, it's been like you are teaching some stuff that could prolly help them develop their way of writing? That was thorough!! 💖
I believe this arc will focus on Ichigo's trust in Soul Society. Central 46 could have a negative reaction to Kazui's a abilities, Captains that Ichigo trusted being sent to Hell, or even seeing potential good people in Hell could cause for distrust between Ichigo and Soul Society and the same could be said for Kazui which could perhaps lead him to grow up like Aizen or Yhwach
Always an excellent interpretation and analysis of Ichigo bro!
Damn, at some point in the future I want to see Kazui and Ichika's bankais. It doesn't really seem like zanpakto's abilites and shapes are hereditary besides Ichigo and Isshin both having Getsuga Tensho.
💛
Maybe because personalities aren't hereditary 😂
id love to see ichigo having to confront his son and they fight, possibly motivated by the shinigami around him but orihime or the other humans stopping there fight and ichigo having to process the regret that he feels for trying to 'stop' his son, while also being judged by his friends for his actions, eventually leading back to certain emotions as investigated in previous deconstructions of ichigo where he could revisit past characters who he had learned from or had taught a message about that specific emotion/character trait, and so since ichigo would have the maturity from being an adult to properly reflect on his feeling and figure out how he is going to solve his turmoil he would be able to resolve his problems by himself, buuutttt by doing so he ends up pushing those close to him away, possibly by using the charactor that he reflect on being primarily antagonists or villains further concerning his close friends. also id wanna see lots of amazing fights casue the ichiGOAT is just too cool
Yeah, i don't think it will go that dark, but more of Ichigo as a father. Which makes sense, Ichigo as a father and husband.
Also thanks for this saga of videos, which gave me new perspectives in certain aspects, there was stuff that i already agreed with you, but stuff that we see different, and that's fine that's how we learn and grow.
Not gonna lie... Hoping Kazui's hair turns black to reflect the Shiba clan and to give him a different appearance from his dad. Don't want that Goten treatment where you have a mini Goku with SSJ.
Ichigo is the best protagonist ever
I can't wait to say to shounen fanboys! I'm sick of people trashing bleach and not understanding it's story and lore!
*Hell Arc Hopes and Wishes*
1. Explore the Southern Soul Society in Hell (in contrast to the Eastern (Shinigami) and Western (Witches) wings and then hint at the Northern (probably Heaven) Soul Society.
(Yamamoto's Bankai is a map representing each of the 4 sides of the whole soul society, Eastern Japanese Katana, English Medieval Amor for west, Undead of Hell for South and Idk what north is)
2. Explore the process of souls coming around in death (is there a massive stockpile of Souls in Hell since they cant be reborn on Earth after, and whats the storage limit. Is Hell Over flowing with souls already?)
3. See past shinigami before Bleach timeline as well as how our recent captains adapt to Soul Reaper Warden squads where each member is captain level minimum in the currently by far bigger and most dangerous area of bleach even before shown (the picture where earth, soul society and hueco mundo look like small moons to Hell as Jupiter)
4. The Soul King's Emergence (since captains get sent to Hell, he is likely either down there or in the cycle of rebirth, potentially could loss memory or be corrupted in The process for new antagonist)
5. Ichigo's mastered powers. I would hate for him to be rusty like Naruto in Boruto. Like to think he heads over to the Soul Society and Heco Mindo to Train and duel while keeping good relations. Mastered Bankai also have layers to them so id loke to see the other layers to Tensa Zangestu and his other 3 power areas and combinations of that.
6. False Banaki Reveal.
Renji's intial form of bankai was clearly false cause he was only partially worthy and able to handle Bankai back then. Its clear now since his shikai was alot faster and flexible than his false bankai. Its clear that characters that are very strong with clear flaws get this like Soi Fon's bankai is clearly false due to her suppression of her fast and flexible feminine self for a rough and clunky masculine persona, shown by her obession with Yorichi as she clearly cant tell between a friend, mother, sister, and romantic interest as she had none growing up, so in her confusion, she puts all 4 on Yorichi. This shows in her false bankai, as shikai should never better than bankai. So hopefully we can see her true bankai and other strong but flawed characters like her have true bankai as well.
7. Soul Society Souls
Hopefully while exploring Son Fons true bankai we can see how oppressive the soul nobility and caste system is that lead to her problems. So by that some change for the common soul can occur as the Shinigami Headquarters is surrounding by slums on all sides. Through that it can hopefully lead to some actual development of Yorichi ending in her shikai and bankai reveal as she can see the problems in the soul society but then decides to take up responibility as the head of her clan to change it all as an adult women rather than running away to do whatever she feels like a little girl. Come Kisuke development can happen as well since he can make a technological advancement for the common soul's situation to drastically improve, as both kisuke and yorichi have child like qualities that need to be matured and probably why they haven't gotten together thus far since neither is mature enough to sustain a serious committed relationship with the other, since both run away from responsibility left by their parents (as Kisuke is likely the son of that string weaving women of the 0 squad), and probably why they connect with each other on a deeper level than Soi Fon could.
8. Ishida Developement and Qunicy Renewal. Ishida should be able to renew and transform the quincy. He should have greater power and a trad quincy wife. Dont want all the cool quincy powers to go to waste and there is clearly a greater threat into Hell where Ishida can come into his and stop taking the back seat to shinigami all the time.
7 - isn't that woman a man??
You make alot of good points, but it is concerning how you project "child-like" qualities onto Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Kisuke and seem a little too into shipping Yoruichi and Soi Fon.
i appreciate him as the character who steals everyones powers lol
Ichigo's story in this arc: scolding his son.
I love how you left pauses for the crescendo of the song to kick in.
For those wondering. It's the instrumental of the song What Have You Done by Within Temptation.
My bro! You be goin in!💪💪
I have a theory but this have many flaws
I believe Ichigo will sacrifice himself to save his son, similar how his mother sacrifice herself to protect her beloved son Ichigo .Ichigo is face a similar situation how his mother died, this moment as a parent he has to protect and save his child .There will be a moment that will shock everyone and perhaps change bleach world as we know today .horrible case scenario, tragedy stroke when Ichigo might gave his life up to save Kazui, and Kazui in the same position Ichigo was when he lost his mother, and Kazui came a full realization to the truth. Ichigo might died, goes to hell, and change like a different person as if being posses. Kazui and the rest characters will go to save Ichigo. A son saving his father. Like do we who's the head of hell itself, perhaps this person or should I say spirit needs a proper body vessel. Like, we all saw how the chapter ended seeing that creepy creature looking at Kazui as if all part of a plan or Kazui have a certain key for their plan. Kazui might be a perfect vessel for hell, but Ichigo saves his son and he's taken instead.
Like I said this theory is huge stretch, but I like to share my thoughts. And don't worry I know how wrong my Theory is.
So much possibilities. Thanx for this series.
Beautiful video bro great content. Thank you for this and your music choices are on point! I believe that Yhwach's consciousness is inside Kazui because soon as Kazui touched the fragment every spiritual pressure of Yhwach just dissapeared. I think when Zangetsu saying Ichigo that "I didn't want you to become Soul Reaper because end of the day I will be the one who kill you" is a huge foreshadow..
Another great video, Brother.
Here's to almost reaching that 20,000 sub milestone 🍻
This is seriously the banger theory for the bleach community. This some high level past aizen methodical plot
I just hope it isn't just one arc, hope we get to see Azashiro and the others I just want to see Kubo handle Bleach without any pressure, to me personally Bleach as a whole felt like it was severely cut off, you can just tell how Kubo can expand Bleach but was limiting himself I remember reading about him not wanting to give others too much effort(though he handled the cast pretty well) bc Bleach is about Ichigo's journey I don't remember where I read it but now that Ichigo's journey is finished hope we get to see some world building, some characters to be fleshed out more and of course more cool designed characters etc. rn I just want more canon Bleach content and pls no next generation route
PS. It's not a criticism so don't attack me lol
Wonder if he can get that power hell granted him before. The one he used in the movie to win. If he can summon that on his own, could be very interesting.
Yes! It was so bad A when it happened in the movie.
Surely Ichigo must have his concerns regarding his son. Inheriting a Hollow Shinigami power is not easy, being born a Shinigami without living in Soul Society and whatever powers Kazui inherits from Orihime might also be something that can lead to manny things. Ichigo obviously doesn't want Kazui to have to go through all the things he did. Idk if deconstructing Ichigo is the best aproach for how to deal with the next chapter. For as manny worries as Ichigo can have about Kazui, Ichigo also knows Kazui can comprehend and overcome those difficulties. Kazui has evryone on his side to help him with anything and from what we know, Kazui doesn't seem to be like Boruto at all, which is a huge relief.
I don't think Kazui will do anything bad at all. What will happen is another example of Soul Society being Soul Society. Most likely there's a loophole to how Hell works and that loophole exists to keep the most powerful entities trapped in a place from where reincarnation can't happen. Aizen can't die so he can go to Hell, we know Hollows humans can, Hollows can and Shinigamis can so we have to assume any Soul of any Nature can go to Hell. Will this lead to the Quincies returning? Doubtful.
What's most likely to happen is that due to the Soul King not existing anymore, the Boundaries between "worlds" are getting thinner and thinner and characters will take advantage of that. Ukitake might not be revealed as a villain at all but he might know what's behind all that is to make. Who knows, after the battle agains tthe Quincy, the Hosts of Hell might wanna take matters into their hands before their fate becomes one of non existence.
All in all i don't think Ichigo needs another deconstruction, it would suck for him and for us to have to go through another power loss or huge emotional developement. We can let Ichigo be the Hero we know he is, WE NEED TO SEE WHAT THE BANKAI CAN DO PLEASE! Things can get really rough and even outmatch Ichigo but i don't wanna see him Despair again. It would be unreasonable to undo what has been done already. IT would be what DB Super did with Gohan who went from being the strongest, to not even being able to maintain Super Saiyan form to now again being really strong because they've redone the Cell arc in a new movie...
I see what you mean but I disagree. I don't think it would be a bad idea for Ichigo to be deconstructed again as long as it's done right. The way its executed is what matters IMO. He doesn't necessarily have to be on top of the world for him to show us his bankai. It's been 10 years. I'm sure he's mastered it by now. The conflict Ichigo could have with Kazui, the soul society, and hell could be really good. The moral dilemmas that could arise have great potential.
@@gregllo424 But those dilemmas can occur without you having to make Ichigo look weak. By now Ichigo should have learned something about himself and those closest to him, he doesn't need to be deconstructed and shown as vulnerable to show that he cares, that he worries, that he has burdens, that he's the one everyone is counting on when things go wrong.
Saitama never looks weak and he's a great character, we've seen moments where Saitama was stressed or doubting something but he just simply moves on, he never shows weakness BUT HE HAS real world concerns, he's still HUMAN. This is why Saitama works where Superman can be perceived as a pretentious prick, because Superman isn't human, he has none of the concerns a human has. Superman doesn't need food but you do see Saitama worried about FOOD, he needs to go to the supermarket and get his food, and he worries about discounts too.
Ichigo can be that too because Ichigo is human, Ichigo has the same worries, he doesn't need to be shown super weak or shocked or vulnerable.
@@SouSporting I agree. I was going to mention that as well in my previous comment. Just because Ichigo gets deconstructed doesn't mean he has to despair. Even in TYBW he acted differently when he received bad news or information. Like at the end of the 1st invasion when Yhwach tells him about his mother. The old Ichigo would've reacted very differently than TYBW Ichigo. I don't think deconstruction means he has to be weak or in despair. But he should show concern and react differently to the problem that kubo presents him with.
What exactly is boruto and why don't we like that? From what I gather he's confident like any other mc, he's smart and a prodigy at basically everything he tries. He started out hating his dad because he basically never had time to be an actual dad. He didn't want to be a ninja at first and that's okay, he has peaceful and non militarized options in life that the previous generation fought for, but then that presents the problem of we have no idea what boruto wants besides freedom, he defaults to the role of being a hero because everyone is in danger. His ultimate goal is probably to protect the village from behind the scenes like sasuke does. Can't say I found him very compelling but I didn't keep up with it so who knows. Kazui on the other hand we basically know nothing about, they seem like a happy go lucky kid in a terrifying world, it almost seems like they live in lala land with giant magical fish and they have no idea what they are doing, perhaps they are being compelled to use their powers by an unseen force or being. In any case they are probably inanely strong.
Oh yeah and ichigo is probably gonna die later like the death flags are there with the weird fish metaphor.
I loved this and these are my exact same thoughts
I'm rly excited for this arc,I wonder how Ichigo will react now that he's more mature and got the strength to oppose soul society if it happens and kazui seems rly interesting and doesn't seem like your typical simple shounen kid
Truly the most complex anime out there I've always held it at the top. Cant wait to this arc starts. Kenpachi needs to show us more of his bankai. 💪
100% agree that Ichigo - Kazui conflict will be peak. Kinda like Dante being so focused on the fate of the world that he without single hestitaion jumped at Vergil to kill him.
Maybe even throw in there a certain Quincy woman who died long time ago, since we don't know what happens to them after death 👀👀👀👀
ALMOST 300k Omggg rebirth
I love that you chose translator. I personally also like “diplomat”
Real kubology hours! Thanks for the video, you're a true G.
nice video!!
So if Kubo does not hire you himself we’re going to have to start a protest just so you can get hired as his contact creator lol but great job that was express thoroughly and it brought to mind so many more details that one might’ve missed just by reading the manga itself but you were able to break down the complexity of the ideas about each ego that some of us probably never even considered an how much more deeper it goes with his new life his life as a shinigami and all that together so keep up the good work and I look forward to watching your next video I can’t wait
I hope they kill byakuya like Kubo originally wanted to. I want to see byakuya as a hell guardian in the hell arc. That's probably what he was originally planning to do but all the fangirls cried and Kubo changed it.
I want ichigo to turn evil for a fight like a possession and all the captains have to go fight him
I am getting chills
I think this arc will let Kazui play a great role since he has the power to open the gates of hell. Can't wait to see what Kubo is cooking for the plot. Imagine the new captains battling the original Gotei 13 and other old characters in hell arc.
Rebirth doesn't miss with these Kubology videos 🔥🔥
I hope Kubo give Ichigo some special powers. His Shikai and Bankai are just measurements of his Power and Speed, no special abilities at all.
Especially since Bleach power system has a lot of hax powers, and a lot of the battles consist of hax abilities clashing against each other but Ichigo all he ever was given is raw power or in other words, brute force which is typical shonen protagonist, the only character I can think that is like Ichigo is Kenpachi. So I also agree that it would make more sense for his bankai to be have a hax ability instead of being just more brute force.
@@danielsantos6437 yup, his supposed hax the hollow is now missing. Kubo needed a powerup for Ichigo. He needs gimmicks.
This why I like bleach. It power system is just spirit matter or reishi. From here all the various forms and abilities all stem from this core fact. Yet what we haven't explored is various forms of Reishi. We know there's mortal reishi your common day to day. Then each characters strong personality, history, beliefs shape this reishi. Yet what happens when massive amounts of Reishi loses its identity. Yamamoto and Yhwach levels were vastly abundant. So without an identity how will this reishi react
As FF7R ending line says: "The Unknown Journey Will Continue".
You blew my mind! Best Theory ever heard, I honestly want your opinion to be real(might possibly be, we don't know) .
Translators are bridges.
And dangai Ichigo was the strongest for that reason.
He was training in a literal bridge.
I feel like Kazui is not sending souls to hell for no reason. Maybe since he has god-like power he could sense that the balance of the world was in danger because of the disparition of Yahwach's and deads captains' reatsu. Because the soul society, hueco mondo and living world will collapse, it makes sense to send souls in the remaining dimension, Hell.
I want him to go through a training arc in hueco mundo to be able to combine Bankai, Vollständig and Resurecion segunda etapa
I have a theory Vast Lorde was his Resurrecíon.
19.9k let's gooooo
Mate i agree with you in every aspect of your description but you should have mentioned the kubo fashion sense
Grandpa Kurosaki needs to make an appearance.
I cant watch these in case of spoilers but I stg I'm watchin after the anime returns!
EISH,dude,I’m gonna miss this bruh.
My personal thought about the new arc was that he’d fight the soul reapers that Yhwach was talking about. The old captains he claimed were much stronger then the current once’s as well as Quincy’s and hollows from the era. They’ve always said they were strong and just different from what they are in the current story so I feel like it would be cool to see that explored as well as some of the pain/problems it might bring ichigo to fight some of the captains that died when we was around like Yamato or Unohana. Having said that there isn’t much that supports my idea besides one sentence during the main story and some stuff from a side book, I just think it would be fun. It also doesn’t really go into him having a kid and family and all that like this video talked about. This video is more likely to be what the new arc is about but ether way I think it would be a lot of fun.
Personally I wish to see Kazui and Ichigo unite rather than battle to the death. Ichigo went against the norm of the soul society and I believe it's only fair if Kazui goes against the norm of sons killing their fathers.
Does anyone think ichigo will likely unlock a new hollow form in the upcoming hell arc? Maybe an upgraded form of what he used against ywach or even a resurrection
No
Solid video, just subscribed but at @14:17 Orihime in-OH-EH? Lol it's more like in-uh-weh in terms of pronunciation
Biggest hint he was intended too be the next soul king, cannon or not, he bent a realm too his will.
having ichigo struggle to teach kazui about soul reapers, the threats, and how to train him will be interesting to see
I think it maybe another mastermind working behind to allow Kazui send all the souls to hell in order to gather more power to either escape or cause another hell war arc
That's probably what's happening. Szayelapporro seemed to have a connection to Warden of Hell since that's how he learned about Ichika so I'm assuming that's the villain of this arc
Yep, that's anime for you. When I 1st saw the end of BLEACH and the power of that kid,akin to a Western Franklin Richards. I thought standard anime rules would put a rift between father and son. So I highly agree with you.
If it turns out ichigo is part quincy, human, shinigami, hollow, and demon spawn imma scream
The way I see it, is that kazui is just a child so they are innocently making a mistake, and doesnt understand what they are doing.
But Im not really for the son vs father thing, as it been done too many times
I agree 100% with the title. Because, unlike some shows **cough cough Naruto** , Bleach Part 2 went with something that wasn’t (pardon the pun) alien to its original vision.
