    Her bankai quite literally requires someone to have her back or she can seriously injure herself
    I think that is beautiful in regards to her character

      It's really great. And I love the way her arc as a whole is bookended. Her last big fight there's that direct call back to her fight with Yoruichi in Soul Society when Omaeda asks "Why didn't you take me with you, Captain?" which mirrors her "Why didn't you take me with you?" to Yoruichi. And in said last fight Omaeda has to like get over his cowardice and she's injured to the point where she does like need his help to even use her bankai. As opposed to like her first use of it where she told him to keep Barrigan distracted while she ties herself to some shit.
      Omaeda is not a character I was expecting to give a shit about and get emotional over. Because I mean. It's Omaeda. I did end up emotional over him and the superior-junior relationship between him and Soifon. I'm biased because she's my favorite character, but like Soifon's story is the one in Bleach that gets to me the most overall. It's handled well and there's a lot to find there in it if you go and dig through it, examining things like the relation between her "I'll do anything to survive" mentality, the fact that she is the only surviving sibling out of six, and the fact that her reaction to death and grief is very specifically anger, and how the kind of death she got paired up with in Arrancar presents himself as being something she cannot possibly beat by skill. There is a lot there and it links together in intriguing ways.

      I think it's amazing because it shows off her true personality and marks her room for growth.
      She hates her bankai because its flashy, loud and bombastic and completely unassassin like. Even though Soi Fon is also loud, flashy and bombastic, especially when it comes to Yoruichi. She is very much a show off and she is hot tempered.
      I also love how it is still a weapon for Assassination. Shikai is low tech and it reminds me of poison. 2 hit kill, whilst bankai is one hit kill and based off of modern tech. Nowadays, stealth isn't required to assassinate someone. Discretion is FAR from necessary because there are countless ways to do it from drone strikes to bombing runs, both of which aren't stealthy in the slightest.
      When Soi Fon started to accept this, she could use her bankai far more liberally through training and it would probably be one of the most dangerous Zanpakuto

    I've ALWAYS loved the fact her Bankai is the PERFECT personification of her true self! She shames her Bankai for being loud, obnoxious and not discret, cause this is how she truly is! One thing we can also see is she's very cocky and is always trying to send this image of cool persona, a calm and collective assassin when she's truly a very immature person. Since Bankais are the phisycal manifestation of one's true soul, her disdain for her Bankai is the perfect metaphor for the fact she doesn't like who she really is and wants to be more recognized by the persona of cold, calm and collected, which is also represented by her Shikai being a deadly and distrect fatal attack, she wants to be seen as that and be able to always deal with stuff with only her Shikai, basically without showing her true self, but in the end, she's not a Shizumebachi, she's a Jakuho Raikouben!

      This is true. It reflects her personal hypocrisy too. Until she found out the truth about their deaths, she always held her brothers in contempt for supposedly being incompetent yet she made mistakes that nearly cost her everything and even subverted her own mantra by teaming up with people who have polar opposite philosophies(most notably Ichigo at fake Karakura). It shows that despite all the lives she's taken or tortured for her orders and strict adherence to tradition/laws she's still fallible.

      Also if you notice (as if it wasn't long obvious) in the various flashbacks to her past and monologues in CFYOW, it really highlights how awful Soul Society's clan based government is. Sui-Feng spent most of her time defending the Shihouins from other clans than she fought Hollows. With such a divided system it's no wonder they fell quickly to the Quincies.

    I feel Soi Fon is also a representation of inner repression. Her zanpaktou spirit is more feminine and girlish than she acts and she fan girls so incredibly hard like she does for a rock superstar. Her shikai kinda represents the silent assassin demeanor and her bankai feels like her inner self screaming out.

      @@Crunchysopa52 I feel her character really shines a bit more once you actually understand that. I feel her outbursts and her attitude is based around her repressing her true feelings so whenever she does express them like anger or chewing someone out, it's because she never lets it out so when it does, it all comes out. She also has this petite look and body which makes her appear younger than she is. Like late teen, young adult; those awkward stages of human emotional development.

In the zanpaktou Rebellion arc, Suzumebachi says that she needs to become her own person and quit chasing Yoruichi and idolizing who she is. I believe the idea was by losing her zanpaktou to BG9, she was supposed to become that by going and mastering the technique Yoruichi defeated and thus surpassing her. Also the way Omaeda holds her and how they look at each other with trust and confidence feels like this was their moment of maturity that got rushed out the door.

    When I first watched Bleach, Soi Fon was one of my favorite girls from the series, maybe even my favorite. I'm probably one of the few people who thought her "annoying personality" was pretty appealing, I just couldn't dislike her. I think that the fact that she tries to act strong while holding all of her emotions inside really makes her character stick out, and seeing her overwhelmed at times makes you feel like you can relate to that same feeling.

      Zanpakuto abilities are heavily based on the user's personality, their nature.
      You'll notice that characters who are true to themselves in public as well as in secret, who wear their nature on their sleeve so to speak, have very similar Shikai and Bankai abilities. Like Gin, Ichigo and Komamura. But those with bigger differences can have *very* different abilities. Like Unahana, Soi-Fon and Tosen.
      Besides, her shikai is a power type Zanpakuto that kills its targets in 2 hits. The natural evolution would be a stronger power type that kills in one hit. And what better to show that than a fuck-off nuke?

    Best girl Soi Fon let's gooo!
    There are a couple of things that I would like to highlight regarding the fight against BG9.
    The first is that she doesn't obtain victory with the technique she developed by herself through her own training, but by utilysing the bankai that she got back thanks to Urahara, and by having Omaeda help her aim. This symbolyses her change from a stern and inflexible nature to a kinder one, more accepting of others as well as the parts of herself she was less proud of (namely her bankai which is inadequate to her role as a stealthy assassin).
    This change is reaffirmed twice in later chapters. Once in chapter 612, where she shows to be more lenient towards her vicecaptain, as remarked by Renji. The other time, two chapters later, when she admonishes Urahara for hesitating in trusting his allies (something he developed since his exile).
    Also sternritters are more often than not counterparts to the characters that defeat them. In this case the cold machine BG9 represents her colder and stricter side and she beats him by being more flexible.

    There's more to her personality than the typically dangerous tension with her. In CFYOW she and Yoruichi meet with Tokinada to discuss the restoration of the noble houses and the entire time he verbally baits and provokes them but they don't bite. Not only did she show restraint but she also exhibited a disdain for the upper crust nobility and their holier than thou attitude. She finally reached the breaking point when Tokinada revealed that her brothers where deliberately slaughtered as part of the nobility's power plays, not because they were incompetent as she was led to believe. She may be duty bound and nasty but she sure will go all out for those she cares for.

    Soi Fon to me was one of my favorites when on-screen because of how commanding she is. Every battle she faced had to be some of the best of the series except of course Barragan's fraccion each fight and interaction showed how much she had to compensate for losing the one person who she looked up to. She had to become the very thing she looked up to in order to save face and try to regain some of her honor. Great analysis again, gotta love the diversity in just about every character in Bleach and how you can go so in-depth with each of them even though this is a shonen.

    I'm still convinced that Soi Fon had romantic feelings for Yoruichi, that it was stronger than mere friendship, admiration, and even obsession. Even if the feelings may or may not have been mutual on Yoruichi's part (it's much more difficult to decipher from Yoruichi because she's never expressed romantic feelings for anyone, neither male nor female). Soi Fon being a lesbian doesn't need to be explicitly stated, even if we're so used to that in a lot anime which handle same-sex relations with the subtlety of a brick to the face and even treats it like a running joke.

      That's possible but yet again Yoruichi herself is VERY ambiguous with her personal relations and true feelings with others. Being an assassin cat she only gives what she wants and bottles up the rest. She treats Sui-Feng as her little bee yet not much else. She may be Kisuke's former friend yet she kept her distance from him most of the time etc.

    The reason it's my favorite moment is because Soi-Fon is there and her mind is immediately filled with possibilities as to what Yaruichi meant by that and she becomes jealous of Yaruichi's Zanpakuto.

      Yet it makes perfect sense. He's far stronger than her to begin with and we've been told how important spiritual pressure is since the beginning of the series.
      So when she loses an arm (which would cripple her spiritual pressure) and uses up most of her spiritual energy by using her Bankai twice...I don't see how there could have been any other possible outcome.
      The frustrating thing is Soi-Fon is always either fighting people still out of her league or super tanks who can resist taking nukes to the face. So we only ever see her potential through comments or when she takes out subordinates like Barragon's Fraccion.

      @@esabuu1.046 Byakuya is pretty fast, but most of his danger in terms of speed is from his shikai and bankai which can attack very quickly without requiring him to move too much at all. On the other hand Soi-Fon has no such advantages to the speed of her strikes from her shikai OR bankai, that's all her. I would be interested to see how her speed would hold up to Senbonzakura's abilities, but in a straight up no zanpakutō abilities fight. Soi-Fon no question.

    I'd say she also got some development when she rescued Omaeda and his sister from BG9's 'interrogation' and then checking up on their well being. Renji and Rukia's comments relating to that means she's not above it all. Sill Omaeda quitting the Stealth Force for mining postwar means it only goes so far.

    Became more harsh and mean after the loss of their mother figure? Check.

  • @TayakoX
    @TayakoX 3 года назад +2

    After so many years she is still one of my favorite female characters! Many reasons why I love her so much:
    -Being born in basically slave-assassin clan, she worked so hard, that became a captain. Brainwashed from the very young age, forced to be a soldier by clan rulers who told her “You must obey the rules of the soul society, you must die for that person, you must kill without hesitation” - all of this absolutely justifies her cold behavior. But yet she still has soft side. Petite, but strong and fastest.
    -She is tsundere and pretend to hate her lieutenant, but actually she really cares about him. And he respects her and cares about her too, actually very sweet. Also, since he is from the rich fam - his money helping to innovate the squad building.
    Bleach bootleg book says that Soifon uses his money to bring the best in the squad and make life of her soldiers more comfortable- automatic doors, warm floors, she is amazing ruler!
    -Her shikai is amazing. Combination of her speed and ability to kill with two hits really making her perfect assassin. With such abilities she basically doesn’t need to use bankai. (Ofc bankai is for the emergency situations only)
    -She is very loyal soldier. Her fight with 2nd espada was epic. She lost her hand, but continue to fight without hesitation.
    I wish she could simp less for Shihouin clan, but eh, feel like kinda Kubo wasted her potential. (Same with Unohana,who deserved a whole arc instead of a couple of chapters.)
    Yet I love dynamics between Soi and Yoruichi, in additional materials and manga they’re shown way better than in the anime. She’s very beautiful and strong character💙

    During the ending of her battle against Yoruichi, I always feel like "Oh, so all those talk about "you are now obsolete", "I'm stronger than you", is all a facade or coping mechanism for her to cover up her true reason: She is very upset that Yoruichi didn't trust her enough to bring her, even though Soifon is absolutely ready to jump into any danger if it's for Yoruichi. And more importantly, she misses her so much, that nothing else ever really mattered.
    From Yoruichi's POV, it's not about lack of trust. She didn't want to bring soifon because she cares for her and didn't want to ruin Soifon's life and career.

    To be fair, Soifon is a hard character to like. She is very overbearing, bossy, strict and arrogant. However, her anger towards Yoruichi for leaving Soul Society makes sense. She admired her and was hurt deeply when she left without saying a word, though her admiration slowly turned into an unhealthy obsession. I think she realised this and strove to become stronger for her own sake.

    • @manuelacosta9463

      True. But in the end it's because she's an assassin at her core, her personality has been warped and molded by that life. I'm sure Yoruichi tried to show her that there's more to life than that but obviously, it didn't make much headway if at all. Pretty Ironic that an assassin has such an explosive temper.

      I agree that Kubo could’ve done more with her, cause she’s my favorite as well. The only time she interacted with Ichigo was during the Fake Karakura town arc and the Fullbringer arc when Ichigo requested to take Ginjo back to Karakura town where he’ll bury him at, those are the only scenes we’ve seen Soi Fon interacted with him. However in fanfiction, anything’s possible to where Soi Fon can be fleshed out more and interact with others besides Yoruichi.

  • @JurassicLion2049
    @JurassicLion2049 3 года назад +4

    Id say that on some level that Soifon and Yoruichi’s relationship is romantic. As in those student mentor relationships that get very close when neither party expected it to, it just “kinda happened”. I see Soifon as someone who thought her admiration was just that, just a great respect and reverence of a woman she wants to be like, but really its a great infatuation. Especially with how she reacted with Yoruichi leaving and when Yoruichi returned Soi Fon wonders most of all not “why did Yoruichi leave?” but “why didnt Yoruichi take me with her?”. She wanted to be by her mentor’s side. Although I suspect Soi Fon isnt even aware thats what her exact feelings are and I wouldnt put it past Kubo accidentally writing a pretty gay character / romance.

    Somthing I would love to hear your thoughts about. In the battle against Askin, do you believe Soi fon could have been a great addition or even replacement for the little brother? I love that fight, but I believe so much more could of been added to all of the characters relationships or simply more could of been explored. Minus Grimwjow of course.
    I know you don't do what ifs, but I would love to hear your 2 cents on this. As I believe Soi fon did not live up to her full potential as a character. Which lame, because she is honestly 1 of my favorite characters.
    Had she been in that battle with her former Senpai and the man who she blames for it all. Idk, just seems like there is a MASSIVE amount of just character building potential there alone.
