PREACH
I’m surprised you don’t like the concept of Fullbring more. To me the explanation is like the hollow version of quincies abilities to control Reishi. And since everything has Reishi technically everything does have a soul. Does that sound better?
@@bleachedshadow9981 I think it would be way less confusing if they just said everything has reishi/ spiritual energy. It is both comforting and concerning that objects would have their own vibe, memories, life-soul-thing
Reiki blade
He literally was going through the worst, losing his power and not being able to help his own fam. SUPER underrated arc
Agreed. A lot of people don’t realize how important this arc was to his character development. He was flawed this entire arc almost wanting to go as far to kill Tsukishima even when he didn’t know if it would free his friends. Wrote this before video but I’m sure Rebirth points it out.
@@kevinfunk83 on top of that, people hate on this arc because of how great it’s prior was. Kubology is the truth!
@@Visionary4787 Kubology 100
I actually didn't really like Fullbring arc when I first watched it. But I knew it's important so I didn't really care about how good it was. And then I watched some analysis videos on this arc and I actually started to kinda like it.
@@teridax5103 not to mention the last 8 episodes are pretty badass plus I really like training arcs so I guess that’s why I was keen to it.
This arc was Ichigo's ultimate character study. His depression following the loss of his powers, the hope of getting them back and then regaining them and the will to fight for his friends after being brutally put down. I liked the showcase of Soul Society's shady side to, it becomes jarring when you realize Tokinada and his control freak sociopathy are responsible for Ginjo's rebellion following the murders of his old friends. Still I'm glad most of the Fullbringers survived and are now doing good in the world.
Something a lot of people forget about Bleach is that Ichigo was 16 years old and fighting a war. A war where he died twice against an opponent so much stronger than him he couldn’t even scratch him. Where he had been tortured for weeks by his “Inner Hollow” with nightmares and the fear of being possessed, made even worse by his Hollow’s rampage upon his second death and the near killing of Uryu before Ulquiorra stopped him. Ichigo later watches some of the strongest people he knows are cut down after being mind fucked into attacking one of their own, has Aizen and Isshin deliver world shattering revelations upon him and the entire time he was terrified. Gin said it himself. Ichigo was scared of Aizen. Aizen had already nearly bisected him, then he tells Ichigo that he was one of Aizen’s experiments? That every fight he was in was engineered by Aizen? That Aizen knew Ichigo inside and out? Naturally he’s scared, anyone would be. But then Ichigo spends three months alone with a furious and upset manifestation of his soul, trying desperately to gain the power to end Aizen once and for all, to save everyone he cares about and he learns that if he does gain that power, he will lose everything in exchange. He would lose Zangetsu, his partner who has been like a rock for him, telling Ichigo what he’s needed to hear when he needed it most. He would lose his powers, leaving him unable to defend his family from the monsters he knows are lurking in the shadows. He would lose many of his friends, because either he wouldn’t be able to see them since they’re spirits or they’d be too busy to drop by. He’d lose his sense of purpose. And Ichigo sacrificed all of that to stop Aizen, only for Aizen’s immortality to make it useless. Kisuke sealed him away sure, but that definitely wouldn’t have helped Ichigo’s mental state. Ichigo went through war at 16. Him having issues, him crying is natural. The Fullbring arc showed us the aftermath of the Winter War and it’s effects on Ichigo. And that’s why I liked it personally.
Well said, my mans Ichigo doesn't get enough love
Eh. I always felt Ichigo's mental health wasn't gone far enough into. The mofo should have CRIPPLING ptsd at the very least.
Yes, but this inner hollow you are villianising isnt just his hollow powers, his hollow and shinigami powers both come from white (the original name of the hollow power in Ichigo) his hollow and soul reaper powers are one in the same
@@That_Squatch bruh, I put Inner Hollow in quotations because that’s a TYBW spoiler. Also, who said I was villainising him? If I was, I’d have been making shit up or twisting what actually happened to suit a narrative. but I wasn’t. That’s exactly what happened in Bleach. If it doesn’t sound like a good thing to you, that’s because it isn’t.
@@reaperofthings i agree with all of this, but can you remind me when he died twice? the second is v. ulquiorra and when was the first again?
=
This was a necessary arc for Ichigo and Bleach as a whole. Its like a nice down to earth, ground level break between the otherworldly stakes of the grand scheme of Bleach. You also learn about Ichigo's daily struggles as a human and his relations between his human family and friends. I enjoyed it very much.
I always understood the part of why Ichigo cried, I always understood that he had finally gotten everything he loved back just to have it taken away. I understood that he had been so strong for so long that he needed a moment of weakness. I also understood what he is, I too am someone of that type myself. He goes through so much that it would crush most people, but not him. He has a nearly unparalleled mental fortitude, and he can even work through his problems and anything that comes his way. It is difficult when you are misunderstood all your life, and you understand everyone else around you. I know why he never hates his opponents, he sees them, their inner selves, their core being. He sees their depth and understands where they are coming from, he can put himself in their shoes in his head. He can see from every perspective that exists. He sees everything and everyone from his own depths, not from the surface as most people do. He and I are very much alike, that is why I always liked that character.
This is the arc where ichigo peaked as a character
Just so good how much this arc challenged ichigo
This is my favorite arc of the series and I was called a contrarian so much for it!
Also at the end of this arc he gets the best looking Shikai and Bankai he ever had and I was so pissed that he loses them so quickly after.
What I hate the most about the crying scene everyone has criticized for no real reason is the fact that they don’t pay attention to what happens after he cries ichigo from his perspective lost everything and he got right back about to charge at ginjo with ZERO powers no fullbring or nothing how is that not inspiring this man was beaten down emotionally and still was ready to fight but nobody pays attention to see that
Even the character Rukia called it out. Don’t make excuses for him.
Johnny Young Bosch WENT FOR IT!!! He did it better then Japanese
@@shinkai9kami162you have never lost everything...don't speak on a situation you know nothing of. As to whom has .your comment is ignorant. Look,maybe you have reached that point and I am the ignorant one. But I have lost everything in that moment you can't think rational
@@holloify_tensa_zangetsu Why do you bleach fans get so upset over everything. Stop being a victim.
You hurt my feelings 😢
Never understood why people hated this arc so much, it was my favorite post finishing bleach, I'm glad it's getting the love it deserves
How do I put this? Watching it I HATED this arc. In retrospect I was supposed to. I was supposed to hate seeing Ichigo at his lowest, losing everything. Not just once but twice. I was supposed to feel what Ichigo was feeling and frankly rewatching it with that understanding makes it the best damn arc bleach has had. Watched all of TYBW that's out so far and it's good. I mean really good but there's not much character study going on. At most we got amazing characterization for Isshin and Misaki. And personally I'd love to see more of isshin as the captain of squad 10.
I love how Kubo portrays characters not as a “good or bad” caricatures with no nuance, he gives them complex objectives to conquer.
Truth. It encapsulates the the very grey moral zone of the series. There are Shinigami who do what is right and save lives, just as those in Squad 2 end them silently to keep the aristocracy's secrets hidden but even they go battle Hollows and will theoretically save human lives too.
Except for asnodt and ywatch and aizen
@@bakatemplargaming2430 I’d argue out of the three, you’d still see some semblance of nuance. Äs being a symbol of fear but in reality is afraid of his sickness and death, Yhwach’s motivation to usurp the soul king is somewhat justified, and with CFYOW some shinigami realize what Aizen actually wants this whole time and sympathize with him. I guess side characters will always have less objectives but that’s just because they function as a stepping stone for main characters.
Man this comment is so underrated . This could be a video . I was watching the video he made of ulquiorra and how he was fighting the ideology of heart
Dude you're going to make me cry I swear! No one explains the beauty and the greatness of Ichigo as a main character like you do. I love it so much 🥲
You know, after all these years, I think I understand why some people don't like this arc. I'm not counting the hypocrites and the morons who refuse to see beyond their nose. No, there's no educating them and I won't ever try to. But I think Ichigo's struggle hits too close to home. When we watch or read fiction, we do it to escape our current reality. We project ourselves onto these heroes. We want them to be strong and defeat all obstacles, unlike ourselves who are weak and powerless. We like it when Ichigo manages to come back from adversity because we wish that was us. But in this arc, Kubo reminds us that Ichigo is human, too, and that he's vulnerable to the same flaws and struggle we do. I remember feeling a sense of unease and discomfort throughout the arc, culminating in that scene of Ichigo crying in the rain. I can't even begin to describe how bad it made me feel. It hurts even to this day. It was intentional. I don't fault anyone for not wanting to see it. We, as humans, have the reflex to look the other way when we see someone's suffering because it reflects our own. But you know what? There's an inner strength within us that allows us to overcome challenges, no matter how big they are. The payoff was so good. Ichigo showed us all that you can come back from anything. I absolutely love every single line he says in this arc. He proved that he was smart and open minded. He stuck to the values his mother taught, compassion and understanding. Also, it's interesting that he basically repeated what he told Rukia on Masaki's grave, what his father told him. I see this as him renewing his vow to his mother. This is so poetic!!! Ichigo is just the best!!!
Hit the nail on the head
Just my opinion, people don't like that arc cuz they don't like watching ichigo went through all of those pain
@@stunzeed7470 I know, that's what I think as well. It's too realistic and reminds people of their own pain, the pain they want to avoid by watching animes. It's understandable in a way. But people also miss a very important part of Ichigo's growth, and that's the saddest thing about it.
@@Cherry91 it feel like you tried so hard to pass the test, spent all of your time on study and end up failing the exam and got yelled by parents and lost hope
@@stunzeed7470 Devastating, isn't it?
People seem to forget that Ichigo was just a kid when all this happened. Crying when he lost his power was a sign of despair taking over him completely
This Fullbring shikai ichigo is the best looking version of him in my opinion, cool looking sword, tattoos. Neck armor
Ye I wish it kept more of his Fullbring Aspect a little more even he got his true Shikai and Bankai.
Dangai Ichigo and the RoyalPalaceOutfit top it in my opinion.
I like all hollow modes when he loses control
They definitely should incorporate fullbringer into his bankai with the new season. He should just be looking cold as hell EVERYTIME he has to bankai.
This video put a smile on my face. I love this arc and the places it takes Ichigo's character, but I love it in a gut wrenching way. Ichigo suffers so much psychological trauma in this arc and I couldn't help but cry when I saw him break down on my first watch of the anime.
And as much as people have talked about that, no one put his recovery- his reconstruction, as you put it, in the same way you just did. Kurosaki Ichigo: your friendly, neighborhood Shinigami. I like the sound of that. It's hopeful, encouraging, and a truly beautiful end to Ichigo's journey in this arc.
Thank you for this masterpiece of a video!
I admit that when i first watched this arc, i didn't like it mainly because of the villains, but even back then i realised that Ichigo grows tremendously in this arc
I think something we don't often talk about is that white and old man weren't just sentient weapons or powers they were literally aspect probably thirds of ichigo's soul: White was the aspect of the hollow that was bound by Isshin that fused into Ichigo and old man zangetsu is on top of being the representation of ywach, a mark of his Quincy heritage also Masaki's desire to protect her child coalesced and given form.. whether or not he knew it they'd been with him since quite literally day one and the n to save everyone he cared about and everyone else he had to give them up it's not just powerlessness he's struggling with Ichigo Kurosaki is for the first time in his 17 years of life well and truly …. alone.....
From what Kubo displayed I believe everything having a soul is Reishi. In the soul society reishi is far denser. Even Yammy concluded to this stating it's harder to breath a bit. Like low oxygen. With this in mind we know the racial bonuses of bleach. Shinigami had the greatest versatility of reishi. Quincy has the greatest efficiency and usage. Whilst Hollows physical being improved the more Reishi.
So when Hollows attack their Spiritual pressure destabilizes their prey. Once this is done they can consume their Reishi. Humans that survive a hollow attack their bodies or internal reishi is destabilized. At this moment ones desires, intent and goals can manifest. Chad desired to use his strength. A simple desire that resulted in a simple, but destructive result. Orihime rejected what was happening. She couldn't accept her friend dying. She couldn't accept another hollow attacking her. She couldn't accept that she is helpless. This caused her to recede into herself and reject the world. Ulquiorra saw this rejection of life, but a false serenity. It was a confusing moment. Each Espada has an aspect of death. I believe their power comes from how they inflict their aspect on another.
Ichigo clad type reveals his power and reishi are close to him. Rather it is him. Ichigo powers define him at first he hated this. Then appreciated when he saw what it meant for others. Yet with the select knowledge given. Ichigo rejects aspects of himself. Believing all hollows are bad so hollowification is bad. Yet hollows just want to survive. Their desires gives them a second chance
Less than 1 minute in and i already agree with the premise. This was by far the most character growth he received in the entire series up to this point.
This arc was one of my favorites. I honestly know what it is like to truly lose an integral part of yourself. It is a empty experience to lose a gift that you took for granted by having responsibility thrust upon you. It may feel like a normal life is what you want, but with the knowledge of the truth but the inability to affect it, you are still far from living a “normal” life. It is the ignorance of the unordinary, that makes life ordinary. To lose the talent to change something all while still knowing the truth, it is excruciating.
I felt for a long time, in the minority, when I read Fullbring. It was tense and felt like a new anime, a new way of exploring the anime. I fell in love all over again with Bleach. I hope it can happen again with TYBW.
PREACH IT MAN! I personally adore the fullbringer arc. It is a huge deep dive into the recovery and struggle of handling loss and depression.
If i can give my thoughts on ichigo's tears i don't get why everyone is annoyed with it every other big three character has cried Naruto Sasuke Sakura Kakashi Lee Luffy Zoro Sanji Nami Ussop Chopper Robin hell even other bleach characters have cried (other than kenpachi gotta reread to check) but yet Ichigo who at this current point has hit his lowest point can't cry why? Someone answer me
They hated him because he spoke facts
I think it's how they view ichigo personally. Naruto stated to hinata that he is always alone but he never cries about it. Naruto is the kind of person who will fight with a smile on his face from time to time, he has cried before and it feels reasonable, the show is built on a lot of feelings like loss and friendship and changing as a person. I think their mistake is they see ichigo as someone who is never supposed to cry, it's like if sasuke started crying a lot, that would feel wrong, it's a misrepresentation of sasuke's character. I think the misunderstanding of ichigo comes from the fact that Ichigo doesn't usually try to empathize with his villains, talk no jutsu them, which makes people think he is always a badass and shouldn't cry a lot when in fact he knows it would be a waste of time to talk no jutsu Aizen or a hollow. Ichigo seems like sasuke on the surface, a serious expression when in battle.
Also kenpachi did cry
@@pumkin610 thank you i couldn't remember
This is dumb as ichigo always empathizes and tries to understand his enemies
Bro every time I watch your video it makes me to love bleach more. Lets be honest, no one going to put so much thoughts on an anime when u have 365 episodes. Anyways thank u man
Thank you!
@@flameofrebirth101 💙
Love to see one of my favorite arcs of the series getting the much needed love that it deserves. This arc really just fuels my love for Ichigo as a character and the reason to why he is my favorite MC out of the big three. He is the most realistic and relatable character out of all of them imo, and I just found myself connecting with him the most #Ichigoat🔥
Good video man. I watched this week to week and had no idea people said Ichigo was a crybaby and had mood swings.
Bleach was and is still one of the most relatable animes. The emotions flowed with the story. The picture was always clear. The only thing I was upset about in the fulbring arc was that this fight with a season bad, was better then the fight with the big bad.
It felt like Ichigo earned gaining his powers back and his darkest hour, was the moment he shined brighter then ever. That he fights with purpose and knows what it is. He is at his peak warrior status because he knows who he is and what he fights for.
The exact opposite of his aizen fight. It felt short and unearned when Ichigo was already winning and gave up his powers for no reason other than to show off.
Nothing about the fight or how it concluded was satisfying.
I was so mad with that ending I made my own head cannon and I think it holds true to the story.
It starts when Ichigo came in looking older, more bad ass and ready to throw down with a look of pity on his eyes. Ichigo Drago's Aizen outside the city so no one would get hurt.
That fight should be a back and forth as Aizen plays with Ichigo Frieza style. Always happy to push Ichigo to his limits before ending his life. Always out to make him look like the smartest in the room and Ichigo was just his pawn.
Ichigo should of spent every resource he had. Been on the break of defeat and with a flashback of what his friends and family, the first ghost he ever met and the fight of the school bullies from the first episode.
he stands up and activates, "final gitsua" as one final flashback happens. It takes you back to the exact moment Rukia stabs Ichigo and gives him this power.
Then he uses final gitsuga and kills Aizen and sacrificing his power to protect everyone.
That's the fight in my head, that's how I choose to remember bleach. I don't like their ending to Aizen arc. So I made my own.
I've tried to think of a way to include hollow Ichigo and that whole transformation but it was wrapped up nicely when Ichigo was stabbed by the hollow/zangetsu mix character.
there was no more need for the mask, or for the hollow to come out one last time.
This is interesting.
Inanimate objects absorb the ambient spirit energy emitted by living organisms. Also, it’s been shown throughout Bleach that people with powerful enough spirt energy can walk on air using the ambient spirt energy to push on. Levitating some liquid is the same thing but it’s being pulled rather than pushed
I mean ichigo already had a lot on his Platte the only thing after that was the support of his friends and family which near the climax of the arc all thought he was crazy even standing against him because their memories had been manipulated by the enemy I want to see one person still standing strong after all this and ichigo breaking down in agony and tears made him so much more human and relatable in my eyes
That was just beautiful my guy 😢 Just beautiful and poetic. The Full bringer arc brings Ichigo to his lowest level, powerlessness, uselessness, despair. Something he probably hasn't felt since the day his mother died. When he got his powers back he had every right to charge at Ginjo With anger and hatred for what he put him, his friends, and family through. Yet instead he didn't, That takes a strong person. A cow from a movie Call Back at the Barnyard Once said that a strong man stands up for himself, but a stronger man stands up for others. No one lives up to this more than Ichigo😊
I wonder exactly what you'll do for the final arc. To me it represents him coming to terms with who he is it is not just as a human but as a Soul Reaper, a Hollow and Quincy hybrid. True balance
Hey guys. As far as the music in the video goes, I have this nasty habit of finding songs while I work, screen recording the song, and saving it to my PC with a new name like “GVSX” or “dhdjd” because I can’t be bothered.😂 Imma try to backtrack to find some of the songs for you but for now.. here are the ones I know for sure:
1. Magi- Cast to Damnation
2. Atom Music- Your destiny
3. Jak X Combat Racing: To The Death
4. Within Temptation: In Vain Instrumental
Gotta take a rain check for the rest.
Do you know the 1 in the beginning? Am pretty sure I've heard it before from shiro
Maybe berserk theme?
Nvm i found it:
(At the very beginning - by shiro sagisu)
2nd edit: gosh nooo its not the same 😭😂 i need it
That last bit about how Ichigo looks out for the little guy was so perfectly and beautifuly said. Cheers mate!
10:10 Okay, here is where this come from, not how it works, because i can make myself an idea, but it's more of a theory. The belief that everything has a souls it's, to my knowledge, a Japanese one, if i remember correctly when i researched this, this is related to Shinto beliefs. There everything has a souls, including inanimated objects, and when their life cycle ends their soul goes through the process of rebirth. If you want you can see a bit on youtube, there are some video about Japanese people doing something similar to the burial ritual to their old Dog toys, you know those dog toys that your parent both to you when they couldn't get one for multiple reason, those ones. When their bateries died, instead of replacing then and seeing then as just something reusable, they saw it as the death of that object, and perform burial ritual for it.
So in the case of inanitmated objects, when their utility life from the factory ends, the object is coinsider dead. That's the only thing i can confirm regarding how this works, because it's how it works in real life certain Japanese people take it, but how it works the manipulation of the soul, it's just pure theory.
Bro you nailed it with that analogy at the beginning, exactly the vibe
Love watching your bleach analysis videos so much, they are always able to give me some kind of emotional response keep up the good work!
Thank you! I try!😂
The ending speech of this video is just breathtaking. Incredible analysis on one of my favorite characters in anime. Well done
Well, sheesh. You're too deep bro. Got me feeling things over here, especially towards the end. Well done!
I'm blown away with your content my dude, please keep doing character analysis on bleach
I'm eager to see a kisuke or uryuu later on, have a good one
Great video, you deserve all the subscribes! Best bleach content I've come across.
Your analysis!!!!! On pointttt!!!!!! I’ve now got an understanding of Ichigo’s feelings and Kubo as he was writing this arc. Great video!
Thanks so much!
You deserve to have more subscribers you are amazing. Your content is genuinely great, road to 15k.
Thanks so much!
Ichigo’s character development is outstanding through this arc my only problem with it was that when when watching it the training arc was slow and when it was revealed the soul society’s intentions I was kinda indifferent. Like from a government standpoint it makes sense to keep tabs on him and have to make the necessary decision to kill him if needed but at the same time this is a group of 1000+ year old people who are lying and betraying an 18 year old who literally saved ALL of their lives. Also the fact they brought up Isshin’s character and then never did nothing more with it let alone let him actually fight and they did uryu really dirty as he was really just getting beat on. But from a main character stance the writing was 10/10
Your friendly neighborhood soul reaper, Strawberry-Man. Byoutiful ;-;
It’s got a nice ring to it
@@flameofrebirth101 Earned a new subscriber! I love your videos Ive been binging them all night. Dont give up! BLEACH HYPE TRAIN 2022!!
Amazing video man, thnak you! :)
Really like the way you narrate these videos...got my Sub.
Great video!
Bleach is peak shonen and the fullbringer arc play an important role in that
the only thing that bugs me is that we never saw ginjo's past to understand him deeper
i guess kubo thought to gave us a flashback at the end of the blood war. But due to what happened to him he wasn't able to (that's my headcanon anyway)
i know it goes into details in CFYOW tho, i should pick it up
His best drip
I agree
Damn bro, I cried a lil during your conclusion. Beautiful analysis, your the best ❤
Bruh, this just made me fall in love with ichigo and bleach all over again, amazing video, man!
in CFYOW, the deputy pass was used to track ginjo while meeting other fullbringers. some members of the soul society wanted to murder fullbringers to get valuable substance from there soul. i believe that ginjo knew about the combat pass before the incident but he trusted soul society. that's why ginjo rebeled because he felt betrayed.
9:28 the idea of "even inanimate objects having a soul/spirit" is actually a concept in Shinto philosophy (if I recall correctly). One of my favorite little tidbits about this concept is that blacksmiths used to perform their duties in the robes of a priest, and their task wasn't to just create a weapon, but to "draw out the spirit of the weapon" (almost like it was the idea behind the Zanpakutō). Even now, traditional bloomery forges is Japan are treated almost like a religious site, with robe-clad smiths refining pretty and forging the steel into blades.
OK, don't know why my auto-correct traded "ore" for "pretty", but I'm sure you'll get the idea.
Didn't hear a hit the bell. So I did, you deserve it with the effort and compassion you put into this work man.
Thank you so much!
God DAMN you got good videos bro lol
I’m literally crying rn
This whole video mentions everything I loved about this arc and why it was one of my favorites to watch, gonna have to put the next vid in watch later but ik it’ll be amazingly done, keep it up
Oh right. Cuz spoilers. Yeah. I have some “side” projects in the work in the meantime
@@flameofrebirth101 can’t wait to see it all keep up the good work my guy
You have such good insight on bleach stuff!❤️❤️
Thank you!
Rebirth I absolutely loved this video on the fullbring arc. we share similar views on ichigo in this arc as well. I've always told my friends ichigo's growth wasn't only power based but also psychological as well. keep up the great work I have officially subbed
This is some quality content!
I phased out of Bleach a long time ago and didn't even like the ending.
But these videos, one can tell your love for it and bring such a good aspect towards the series.
Liked and Sub!
In CFYOW we get to read even more about Ginjos story and why he decided to rebel
This was awesome. I've loved the series for 8-9 years, and this allowed me to really understand and paint a new light on the anime as a whole. Thank you, you've really convinced me of a new passion for this anime.
I never understood why people hated this arc for absolutely no reason, I personally enjoyed it so much.
Ichigo was always a person to hate on when compared to other Shonen protagonist especially naruto, although I love Naruto, to be honest I prefer Ichigo any day of the week.
Kobo writing was sempolic and original, and dare I say, it was ahead of its time.
But naruto story base telling (again, in my opinion) was bad after the Pain Arc, you don't have to ask why because 2/3 of the Naruto shebuden or what ever it called was the war arc, and to be honest it was not that good of a war arc really and Kaguya was even trasher than sakura and this says alot.
The only let down was of bleach was, that it had to be rushed to meet a deadline, so it wasn't flushe out as it should have been
>His dad could've just told him that things were going fine and that they were finding a way to get his powers back
>They could've seen Ichigo's choice before the fight and before he had to go through despair. I don't get why they have to pressure him so much that he teams up with Kugo just to see his reaction. It's like telling someone TRUST ME YOU'LL BE FINE but then let them get ruined by others only in the end saving them when their trust has been broken. I get the message but the delivery is kinda whack.
>The stakes are gone in a snap since he just got his power back anyway with a plot device. I don't care if it makes sense. These overly convenient plot threads don't make it better. They're just that, overly convenient plot threads.
>Little to no further context about Ginjo and Tsukishima and why it lead to that point. Making most people not gain any sympathy for Kugo because his personality was all over the place making us not subscribe to one form of his.
>The Fullbring power system was kind of pulled out of nothing, we know Chad and Orihime are Fullbringers now but the reason they had powers initially was because of the Hogyoku. Now it's retconned as Fullbring. Its definitely a glaring and off putting sore.
That said I still agree that it doesn't deserve the hate it gets. People say these problems then isolate Bleach for having them when the same thing problems and/or many others are found in both Naruto and One Piece yet no one or at least not as much bats an eye. It is so hypocritical.
@@ez_is_bloo > Literally forgets fullbring was foreshadowed in Espada arc when Chad mentioned how his reiatsu felt “at home” in huceo
@@DeviousHabie yea? And what does that have to do with Orihime having Fullbring? Or Aura? See?
That didn't foreshadow Fullbring at all.
It hinted that Chad's power was more Hollow like. Not that it was Fullbring lol. Stop saying things are FORESHADOWING when they aren't. The Hollow connection of Fullbringers were because THEY WERE ATTACKED BY HOLLOWS WHILE IN THE WOMB but then again that's not the case with some of them at all.
And even if it is foreshadowed that way it still contradicts the fact that the Hogyoku and/or Ichigo's immense power is what gave them powers 💀
@@ez_is_bloo I don't know where it's stated Orihime is a fullbringer?
Aura mom was clearly attacked by a hollow wdym "what does that have to do with Aura" LOL? Her father was also a fullbringer or sum.
"And even if it is foreshadowed that way it still contradicts the fact that the Hogyoku and/or Ichigo's immense power is what gave them powers 💀"
Who was this stated by? A character right? Who's to say this wasn't a character's speculation if not a moment of unreliable narrator. You guys automatically assume because one character says something they know for sure.
If it was Ichigo's immense power and or the Hogyoku, why didn't most of Ichigo's classmates get powers? They were around Rukia and Ichigo. 💀
@@ez_is_bloo Also that makes no sense, why would Chad's power just be more "hollow like" it's not that it is "hollow like" it IS hollow. He didn't say hollow-like iirc and even if it was that's enough of an implication to say where his powers came from. Especially with the added fact he said Huceo amped his reiatsu (or made it excited/jumpy)
Why would something from Ichigo or the Hogyoku which if it's based off of the user's own wish (Chad in this case) be something hollow-like? How, why and when would Chad ever want hollow-like powers. He's not Tosen. You talking about "contradicting" but don't even check for it on your end.
When I watch videos I like, I say it's awesome and nice etc. But this... This was beautiful. Really beautiful video Rebirth. Well done
There is a thing i would like to talk about the Fullbring powers. i think it makes much more sence if you put it in perspective. The "soul" an object has is the series way to say that every objec can store spiritual energy. There is this belief in spirituality about that. every object can store positive or negative energy. for an extreme example, houses where there was a lot of negative things happening, will have a lot of negative pressure on it and as a result, it might get haunted by negative spirits or if the energy is too dense, poeple will call it haunted even if there is no ghost in it, the same goes for positive things. The fullbring is a direct reference to the acumulation of positive energy in your most precious posetion. if you have a ring that reminds you of a close one and you always take care of it, the object absorbs the positive energy that the memory and emotions generate. Mediums tend to ask for this kind of objects to get in contact with an spirit because they can be filled with one's energy weather you believe in it or not, it's obvious that from this perspective, it's easier to understand the Fullbring, just take it to the extreme and every object has a spiritual energy that it stores.
I know this wouldn't be a bleach exclusive concept, but I think it would be really cool to see a comparison between bleach and the other "big three" manga of their time. A breakdown of their similarities, and their differences. Love your work! Your interpretations and explanations are really entertaining
An opportunity will present itself soon
Great video bro, really brought a new understanding and perspective to this ark .🔥🔥🔥
I’m glad I could help!
i really like your videos, they make me see ichigo in a whole new level, that makes me like him more than before. Thanks!
Thank you! Stick around for the final arc analysis. You’ll love it!
The only channel where I leave a like to the video before watching it. Such quality content. 👍
Wow. I am honored. You get a DUB
Well Done Man!!!! ✊🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Thank you!
Ok, the Dark Knight reference in the end got me
Amazing video, by the way
I was wondering if it would hit- guess it did. I’m glad
I love the work you put in making these Ichigo character analysis videos. There're very introspective and detailed! I'm loving your channel👍 Side note I LOVE RE ZERO
Re Zero fans on this channel have been starving because of me but I’m just waiting till that S3 drops
After watching all this I feel like I've learned a lot about myself. through ichigo. Thank you man for make these videos 😌
This is an amazing video bro u always hit
Thank you!
Love this video and the ending was perfectly said.
Haven't watched Bleach in yearssss. This take was quite poetic and you're a great story teller/reporter. Keep this up man. I'm subbing!
Thank you, kind sir!
"These fools don't understand... That this isn't nearly enough to make you despair. They don't know the caliber of despair you've already conquered. Show them! Despair can't ever stop you."
^Rukia showing up with this was just... Magnificent. Especially as someone who's dealt with some mental health s*t and memory loss, both for oneself and ones' loved ones.
Kind of an aside, but I think they all had some certainty on how Ichigo would jump on the choice he'd be offered by Ginjo. They were on standby just in case, yeah, but they showed up smiling because this is the kid who fought their demigod asses to a standstill to save one person he'd only known for six months, and beat some sense into her big brother on the way. The kid who'd made an ally of a Quincy and given shelter to a mod soul, who didn't need to learn a single damn one of their laws to get the spirit of them in one go. They were scared, sure, because he's a damn juggernaut in raw power terms, and they were on standby. But none of them really expected him to falter, and having Rukia and Renji onhand to talk to him proves that they're a lot different from the Gotei 13 we first met, or the ones that exterminated the Quincy. Love your analyses, btw.
Great video as always, nice work!
Thank you!
I just realized, not counting toshiro, the captain lvl soul reapers that came are the very same ones he fights in the soul society when saving rukia
I already like this ark but you just made me appreciate it even more so thank you
I just wish that we get to see more of Ichigo's full fullbring form it was so cool looking.
Honestly, Kubo stay doing that shit. 😂
Thats it man, I'm gonna subscribe
WWWWWW analysis Rebirth! That last 1/3 of the video was like perfect scripting fr. Beautiful vid man.
That was legitimately my favorite part to work on. Imm happy you agree.
The most overlooked arc as well
Ps that Magi ost goes hard
Magi top 5.
@@flameofrebirth101 hell ya man have u read orlient its by the same author?
@@sonofsparta3858 I have not. But that anime adaptation is…….yikes
@@flameofrebirth101 that got an anime? Probably some record of ragnarok type slide show lol
My favorite arc. I rewatched it recently and it’s so good.
Dude your analysis are amazing.
I’m glad you enjoy it!
To be thrown in a place between childhood and adult, despair and hope. I was an heroin addict, my friends these people I knew since I was in 2nd grade. Due to my heroin addict and depression, breaking every bond I had. One by one they stopped talking to me, I was then Alone,strung out, no one around me. I was lost, I was down and I out. On the night of Prom, I took xanax to be clam. I ended up smoking a cig in the bus bathroom.(yes it was dumb)
I had a date, but I neglected it. I could take my prom picture, and I was Alone all night, and worst of all
I HAD NO MUSIC. Not ipod wasn't there. As a musician MUSIC MUST be with me. But that night I heard laughter,chatter and watching these people (some friends some not) create a lasting memory. The way ichigo felt being hopeless, and confused and angry. Is what I felt and others did as well. After prom we went to NYC. They did some shit, I walked and have money to people,gave food to them. I had nothing, I was abused sexually, I was a heroin addict at prom with NO music. I feel great when I help other. That's why insted of fucking around. I gave the world my heart.
Next day I had a complete meltdown, at my job at Mickey's D awhile cleaning I had 10000000 things in my head. I lost hope, called my mom to tell her, I need to leave I will breakdown. The point is when I was balling my eyes and repeated "I can't do it why am I this way" over over and over. I calmed down a hour later, I had my parents save me
Ichigo IS THE GREATEST protagonist. While I watch this I I can't help but want to hug him. Hehe
Coming back here I doubt anyone will see this but...rewatching this on a whim has actually given me further Revelation on Ichigo and in turn one of the Souls inside him that I don't think anyone has ever touched on. So I must simply thank you again Flame.
I cried at the end of the video and we're not gonna talk about it, And great work i'm gonna watch all ur vids now byyye
Buckle up. You’re in for a ride, fam.
I think i will just share something that, i never mention to anyone, and i never got the chance to share, when i finally decided to read manga as a teenager, this was the arc at which i caught up to the manga and begun to read it daily. And i remember *LOVING IT,* and not being in forums, or looking at youtubers reviews, at the point of the training with Ginjou when his fullbring training is complete, i begun looking for forums and reviews and i was confuse by what i readed there, my reaction was "What the heck are you talking about?", i never understood those people, i was just confuse. By the point we reach, Ichigo breaking down, i was disgusted by their opinions, i just couldn't understand then, they can have then, but to me it sounded like a bunch of ignorant people. I was sad for Ichigo, because i understood his powerlessness at not being able to do anything, being show the chances to be able to do something, such for someone to take it away. It's horrible, it was sad, it's why when Rukia appear behind him and gave him his powers back, i just smile, it was awesome, it was so cool, it was perfect.
This is well said.
From what it sounds like when listening to the video you seem to be unaware that at some point after the Manga ended in one of the after stories Kubo wrote he expanded on the Ginjo situation apparently Soul Society did straight up betray Ginjo though from my understanding the actual Squads and Captain's were unaware of this... Apparently one of the major houses wanted something that Ginjo and his then friends had and ambushed them and the friends were killed.
Great analysis, thank you
Thanks for watching!
I kept up with the Bleach manga for a long time. Seeing this arc first in the manga I liked it at first and overall. The characters had cool designs and powers and it was a unique moment in Ichigos life focused only on him for a good amount of the story. Some things were done better in the manga like how Ichigo cut off Tsukishima's arm.
I dont mind the fullbring arc to be underrated. I love every single arc of bleach. Probably cause it was my first anime i watched. It holds a special place in my heart
You and me both, my brother. Such a special series.
This is the first video of yours that I've watched and I've loved it. For me I overall enjoyed the fullbringer arc the only part that felt sour to me was more to do with Tsukoshima's power set than anything else in the arc. I I hate anyone with those kind of mind control powers who manipulate people that much. In other words he did his job as a villain too well. I can of course easily get past my frustration with that character archetype to see just how good and important it was to Ichigo's character development. Now to go back and watch the rest of your videos in this series.
Where you getting your songs from I like those a lot can you please tell me also I like your content please keep making more and can you keep telling me more things about Ichigo that interests me you are a very inspiring person I agree with you Ichigo is just like Spider-Man I can see it
I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this arc was severally hated and underrated. Kudos for breaking it down man.
My pleasure!
Fullbringe arc is my favorite arc cuz I understand and it's like how I don't a car have and license and I've asked my brothers to help me and they said That I wasn't able to get them and I'll just do it myself
Subbed... Daymm.... I always loved this Arc, but your video essay has made me like it even more! ... P.s.. *I didn't shed a few tears* *sweat, Sweat*
It do be hot in here tbh
Let's get it!
Thank you I love this arc so much and I love Ichigos character especially in this arc
It’s been a great pleasure!
Beautifully analyzed
I really love this arc, and I love Ichigo bc he's the only anime mc that is a real human, he can cry, he can laugh, and more, as a real human would. And I love this arc because we see how Ichigo deeply loved being a soul reaper and how he felt anxiety and fear that he won't do something. Maybe this is not a underrated arc, maybe is the best arc for Ichigo and Bleach
In high school I remember me and my friends were hanging out. They talked about someone who cried. And such. I remember saying "crying is not weakness. " sometimes you need to cry.
Oh the soul concept is probably based on yokai since if an item becomes 100 it gains sentience and it will be good or evil depending on how well it was taken care off.
Not the combo of describing Ichigo like Batman into the Steve Harvey "nani!?" meme!! HOL' UP, the universe wasn't ready for that one!! (Probably still ain't, it sure caught me off guard!!) 😆😆😆🤣🤣🤣
