It was written so open-ended that even the writer mixed things in to try to make it make sense to those reading/watching, to make it appear more interesting for fans. To have the power to be immortal as long as the powerful "being" you cast exists would not make much sense in that direction of who holds the true power to stay alive since it functioned both directions. It could have been as simple as they are both one in the same. Both will exist until both are killed around the same time before regenerating as one or the other within the area. James is simply both "James" and "Mask", since at least one needs to be alive to exist at all before being severely damaged and end up returning to Yhwach. Mask killed multiple copies of James right before Renji killed Mask, sealing the deal that he is truly dead since neither is there to support/revive the other. Even "James" said "huh? wait?" before he got supernova blasted lol
As goofy as Mask may have looked - he did an extremely impressive job. 3 lieutenants knocked out, 2 captains on the verge of death. He went down with a blast.
@@gremmythoumeaux2393 bro I am not satisfied by that. they should have at least used their bankai before getting defeated same with super star vs Rose and Kensei not satisfied but renji beating ass that felt good.
@@HunterHunter-m5g It's cuz every time Mask revived he was WAY stronger. He got no diffed by Kensei and then revived and immediately no diffed Kensei. Even if Ikkaku or someone else used their Bankai they would get no diffed because he already revived
@@Gonapa58 I know that i just meant those 3 should have went full out before getting ass beaten then Kensei should have come that would have been cool and ep should have end at I am a villain.
@@HunterHunter-m5g the thing is, we don't know if yumichika or shuhei have their bankai at this point, and ikkaku's is broken. its implied that shuhei unlocked his between tybw and cfyow but if he does have it it would've been a pretty much guaranteed win
Finally Renji getting his W. He realize that being side character is not enough that's why he become the VILLAIN. I like Rose Bankai but all poor Vizards are getting cooked.
Vizards getting their asses handed to me is a tale as old as time and it hurts 😭😭😭 hopefully they get their time to shine in the new content they will add for cour 3 and 4
Subtle SFXs are something that people really should pay more attention to. Ichigo placing both Zangetsus on the wooden table in episode 1 and it giving off a satisfying "CA-CLUNK" and the way Kensei's Bankai lets off these metallic creaks as it moves...it's satisfying!
Renji is the only one who had his bankai name hidden from him. So no, Ichibe didnt do the same thing for everyone. Renji was just a special case where Zabimaru flat out lied about its true name Also, Renji isn’t a captain because he just doesn’t want to be a captain. He’s like Ikkaku where they are fine with their positions and respect their captains too much to want to leave their side
@@debeshkumar7841 Shuhei Hisagi? His shikai isn’t false. You’re thinking of Yumichika and even then thats a case of Yumichika NOT using the proper name. He knows it, he just doesnt want to use it due to Ruri’iro Kujaku being a Kido type Zanpakuto which are looked down upon by his squad with the addition of him wanting to piss his Zanpakuto off. Thus, he uses the fake name, Fuji Kujaku, which alters his Zanpakuto to be a legit weapon type
@@debeshkumar7841 Unless you’re thinking of what happened in CFYOW which also isnt the same. Hisagi knows the full name of Kazeshini, its just that he didn’t have full access to his Shikai’s capabilities
Renji is not like Ikkaku at all, Renji wants to surpass Byakuya, that's his target. Renji was in fact supposed to take Byakuya's place in Kubo's plan, until he was bombared with death threats for killing Byakuya against As Nodt to the point he was forced to make him survive the first invasion.
@@Kal911 That literally has never been stated nor even hinted to be the case. Thats just a fan rumor that people kept spreading until a bunch of people took it to be false. Nobody knows why Kubo brought Byakuya back nor what his plans for Renji was if he DID keep him dead. Yes Renji does have that aspect of him wanting to surpass Byakuya but he has no aspirations to be a captain. If he did he could have easily just applied for an open position somewhere else as many other have done in the past. He’s fine with his position
[Tidbits & Clarifications] - The aspect about Renji not knowing his Zanpaktou's True name is something we experienced in part with Yumichikia, If you recall Yumichika intentionally calls his Zanpaktou a wrong name which results in a half-released shikai. We also learned when Renji fought Byakuya that his Bankai was still immature so it was bound to improve at some point. - Many question "Why aren't the Vizards using their mask", the answer is honestly quite simple, if you think about it in most of the fights they haven't need them. For example, Shinji was easily winning until he was straight up blindsided/caught of guard, same thing happens here, Kensei has 0 issue until Mask get a random power up, then it's too late to pull out the Hollow Mask. Same with Rose, he was winning the a sudden change of events turn the table. - Ichibei reveals here that his name given by the Soul King is Manako Osho which means "The Monk who speaks the True Name" He's also the one who created the name Bankai and Shikai, this is important because names in Bleach mean a lot, to use one's power often requires a name. So Renji's question "What are you" is very fitting - As many may comment judging by Yhwach's words, James is the real sternritter. This was confirmed by Kubo in his Klub Outside QnA's, Mask De Masculine is simply a being that's made from James ideal of a Hero, which is why no matter how often he went down James could simply bring him back, James is the Fan and as long as Fans Exist, the Hero can never fade. - Soken Ishida is interesting, he seems important enough that someone like Jugram Haschwalth know him by name, it makes you wonder what was his position back when Shinigami and Quincy were at war. - [Sidenote: The beginning of Mask v Renji is slightly different in the manga, it's has more moments of Renji overpowering Mask.] [Repost]
Quilge Opie also knew Souken Ishida by name. Thing is, he and Haschwalth were, apparently, the only ones who did since the other Sternritters didn't even know who Uryuu was.
Vizards aren't using their masks cause the author simply forgot this aspect of these characters or didn't mind at all. Simple as that. None of the vizards had any relevance during this war.
just like Ichibe said, Renji needs to prove to Zabimaru that he is strong enough to wield its full power, only then he reveals his true name. In Yumichika's case, he purposely calls his zanpakuto a fake name, not that he didn't know it.
1) The phones came from Urahara. He spends the years after his exile ended introducing spirit equivalents to human world technology to Soul Society (including cell phones and television). It's not from the manga, but one of the novels. 2) This is your first introduction to one of the Quincy with a more esoteric power. Basically, there are some that you can't just overpower because they have some sort of reality-bending hax that needs to be worked around. Mask is the weakest of these Quincy, but still REALLY strong. 3) Kinshara is like the opposite of Aizen's sword. It creates physical effects on people who hear it based on what he plays. Basically, if he plays a song of fire, enemies who hear it get burned. It makes it incredibly powerful and flexible, but with the glaring weakness that anybody without the sense that lets it work is immune. 4) Renji has been getting clowned on by his own sword for the entire series. He was desperate enough to unlock bankai so that he could save Rukia that his sword gave him the partial release, but he has been fighting at sub-bankai levels throughout the series so far (halfway between shikai and bankai, basically). The fact that nobody noticed this does kinda indicate how powerful he could be if he fully trains his bankai though.
Props to MDM for taking countermeasures against Rose's bankai the moment he was told how it works. He's smarter than 90% of shonen characters who listen to an explanation of how an ability works but does nothing with the knowledge
And reverse props to Rose for explaining his Bankai XD I was thinking of a way for Mask to figure out the secret without Rose babbling. Maybe his Bankai blares out a loud music that not even covering his ears would stop? So Mask, in his hard-headed bravado, just ruptures his eardrums to try and stop the torturing music and it halts the Bankai. Simple little edits that would paint the Vizards in a better light, but I do understand that Kubo, at this time, was getting sicker.
@@3slicessenpaiprobally the vizards could be more than enough with the Low tier sternritters, but they have to put a ballance in the war, that's why they are getting bodied in this Arc, with Hollow mask (forbidden) they could win but then this enemies would make no sense if they could be defeated so easily
I always wonder why renji bankai only show the snake part. Because renji Zanpakutou name is Baboon with snake tail. So where is the baboo part. Now we can saw the baboon.

Rose hitting himself with the reverse talk no jutsu remains hilarious. Also, next week we get to see the most beautiful Bankai in the Soul Society, it's gonna be so hype
Ein Heldenleben is a real song, btw. It was made by German composer Richard Strauss and is a 6-part "tone poem" detailing the life of a hero from the beginning up to his death. Hence the name: A Hero's Life. So, knowing that, what do you think its ability is?
He and all vizards should stop explaining their powers to enemies i swear on god, just as they should have their egos deflated by a good bit 😭 made me laugh so much when i read the manga for the first time i swear
Gonna say this...If Kensei and Rose fought almost any other Quincy except for that guy or Yhwach, their Bankai would have been game over...Mask comeback power is just so broken, it's like fighting Majin Buu, you must destroy him whole, like Renji did ! At least we got to see their Bankai in glorious action !
I fucking love the "true bankai". Aizen was right, when shinigamis reach beyond their peak, the zampaktous merge with the user, Ichigo in final getsuga tenshou was connected by chains to zangetsu and aizen absorbed his zampaktou, now we're seeing the first "pure" shinigami doing it, his true bankai is connected to his body, Renji is OP as fuck. If Renji and Rukia are beyond captain level, Ichigo is going to be Saitama.
No, Soul Reapsrs aren't becoming one with their Bankai. They are wearing their Bankai. Renji gained a monkey arm over his and a snake sword. Hence, the name So'o Zabimaru (twin kings) Ichigl and Aizen became their Zanpakuto, and their Zanpakuto became them. Looking at Aizen was akin to looking at Kyoka Suigetsu, and Ichigo launched Getsuga Tenshou from his body. In other words, they transcended Zanpakuto. Everyone else is still very much using their Zanpakuto.
@@corruptangel6793 I mean that was Aizen's Theory about trascended Soul Reapers. I recall during the manga (from back when I read it) that YHWCH told them something among the lines: "Even a merged Bankai will be render powerless if it's destroyed in the future". I know that Aizen was talking about beings on a higher plane, but Renji is a example of a Shinigami that reached PEAK Soul Reaper power and the power is totally linked to his body (Like a few Soul Reapers).
Without spoiling too much, you gotta put into context the fact that even as a sternritter, they already have an ability to be immortal as long as their conduit counterpart is alive. Therefore, Yhwach must have at the very least the ability to not die, and more. His ability cannot be weaker than immortality.
omg, this episode was straight up FIRE, the animation (sakuga) went up a notch, renji finally got his first W, rose's bankai was lit, and kensei got his brief moment to shine. i underestimated ray mysterio, i thought he was some goofball but he was fire, quite sad that he died so early on, but i cannot wait for rukia's time to shine next week!!! 🥶
in one of kubo's Q&A he revealed that james the little guy is the holder of the schrifit letter S the superstar and mask is the embodiment of his ideal here. Q185: I would like to know more about the relationship between Mask de Masculine and James. Going off of Yhwach's comment about James having died, would it be correct to assume that James is the real body whereas Masculine is just a fictitious form of his? A185: James is the real one while Masculine is the embodiment of his ideal hero.
Fun fact about Kinshara Butodan: The soundtrack of Bankai is using Indonesian traditional instrument known as Gamelan, and this gamelan are based on Javanese culture and Balinese culture
Yeah, Yhwach freely offers his blood to Quincy willing to join his cause but they must have unwavering commitment to him this pact grants the Quincy immeasurable power HOWEVER once you die your experiences, your memories, and the power granted to you by your pact with Yhwach will return to Yhwach. Yhwach is counting on The Quincy to strengthen the kernel of power he grants them precisely so when that Quincy dies Yhwach can reclaim the fully matured version of that power without putting any work into actually training on how to use it himself. Although it's not really clear in the manga I suspect Yhwach needs Uryu because Yhwach could resurrect himself in the human world due to his blood being inside of Uryu
@@bepo1702 she fought one of the weakest sternritters, plus needed omaeda's help. Also the vizards were heavily nerfed and given terrible match-ups to let other people shine
Well, Ichibee title "Manako Osho" has deeper meaning in manga (not spoilers, cuz he said it in this episode, it was cut from anime) - He came up with names "Shikai" and "Bankai"... BUT - He also knows the names of every Shikai and Bankai in existence - no matter where the owner is - AND he knows the names even if said Shikai or Bankai wasn't obtained yet - for example, if characters like Hisagi, Zaraki Kenpachi, Yumichika etc. etc. ever were to obtain Bankai - Ichibee already knows the name of their Bankai from the day they first grabbed the swords. (Sorry for this poor English, it's my second language :D )
Now some of yall might be wondering: WHY TF DONT THE VISOREDS USE THEIR MASKS? Short answer: Hollowfication is simply downright exhausting, thus proving impractical in extensive battles. Visoreds cannot, or would rather not, hollowfy with their Bankai but can only use their masks with their Shikai, lasting for only an average of 3 minutes (with the exception of Mashiro Kuna, who can stay hollowfied for 15 hours probably due to her not releasing her shikai or use any kido, only breaking after she used a cero in the FKT arc; and Ichigo, who has an abnormally huge amount of reiatsu that even Unohana got fazed at, which allowed him to use his mask with his bankai for just a few seconds, then a few minutes, until at some point he mastered it.) Plus there's also the fact that Quincies can completely erase a hollow. In that sense, Vizoreds vs Sternritter is a bad matchup. Who knows what'd happen if an active Hollowfication gets hit with a Quincy's reishi... But hey... THATS JUST A THEORY~!
Ichibei named everything in the Soul Society. There were no names for these phenomena before he named them. Names in Bleach are metaphysical representations of power (think of it sort of like Plato's theory of forms/platonic concepts), the names of things are what gives them their strength, hence why Soul Reapers call out the names of their Zanpakuto for Shikai and Bankai. This is also why Renji wasn't as powerful as he could be due to not knowing his Zanpakuto's full name.
Sajin's clan was super intersting story, i would personally like to expand their past 'sins', Komamura is actually a dope character and probably the only one with PROPER motive to fight in the war.
In the Soul Society arc byakuya even says it takes hundreds of years for a captain to master their bankai. Makes sense that you would only be given a basic weapon that develops along with you. Just like the zanpakuto.
seen someone say "why dont they use their hollow powers?"... well its quite obvious but those people seem to be dumb. its either they use soul reaper powers or hollow powers, they cant use both and theyre more powerful/proficient with the soul reaper powers
It took so long to click why his true Zabimaru name is Sou-ou(Sou-ou) Since i dont know Japanese. After seeing Twin Star Exorcist clips again for a bit, i realised its japanese title is Sousei no Onmyouji Sousei referring to Twin Star So sou is basically means twin/ 2 / double So Renji Bankai of snake (orochi-ou) and Monkey(Hih-ou) The 2 ou, whatever ou means, i just take it as King since its japanese is also ou and i would think its fitting for Monkey King and Snake King Full english would be Twin King Zabimaru And that is fcking fire of a bankai name
Renji may be stronger than some captains but this is not a requirement for him to become one or take the position of another... he needs to know how to manage the division and each one has different responsibilities in the soul society. Renji only has knowledge about the administration of the sixth division, that is, he will only become a captain if Byakuya dies or retires and sometimes it doesn't even happen... there are divisions that are commanded by specific families and currently the kuchiki family must have power in that division.
Technically the vizards would be OP agaisnt the quincies because of their hollow transformations. But somehow the creator Kubo decided to not include it for some reason making them much weaker than how they're suppose to be
Everyone knows that after your training arc, there is a mandatory shopping trip for new drip. Its not even worth saving the day if you don't look great doing it, right?
Neel, if you noticed it’s a common theme in Bleach that the stronger the bankai is, the less it is in size and shape. Lemme explain: Isshin said that all Captains learn how to suppress their blade otherwise they would be walking with a huge ass sword. That applies to bankai also. Now just let’s look at some of the strongest shinigami bankai in bleach: Old man Yama, Ichigo, now Renhi. Ichigo just gets new cloth and normal katana. Yamamoto, who we know for sure has the strongest shown bankai just gets his sword burnt. And now Renji: he had a massive mecha snake who did jack shit and he only for L’s up to now. And after returning from Royal Palace, he got a sword and a prosthetic arm. He merked higher tier Sternritter with it, which, by the way, massive puppets bankai didn’t even damage.

Aizen was right, when shinigamis reach beyond their peak, the zampaktous merge with the user, Ichigo in final getsuga tenshou was connected by chains to zangetsu and aizen absorbed his zampaktou, now we're seeing the first "pure" shinigami doing it, his true bankai is connected to his body, Renji is OP as fuck.
If Renji and Rukia are beyond captain level, Ichigo is going to be Saitama.
No, Soul Reapsrs aren't becoming one with their Bankai. They are wearing their Bankai. Renji gained a monkey arm over his and a snake sword. Hence, the name So'o Zabimaru (twin kings)
Ichigl and Aizen became their Zanpakuto, and their Zanpakuto became them. Looking at Aizen was akin to looking at Kyoka Suigetsu, and Ichigo launched Getsuga Tenshou from his body. In other words, they transcended Zanpakuto. Everyone else is still very much using their Zanpakuto.
@@corruptangel6793 I mean that was Aizen's Theory about trascended Soul Reapers. I recall during the manga (from back when I read it) that YHWCH told them something among the lines:
"Even a merged Bankai will be render powerless if it's destroyed in the future".
I know that Aizen was talking about beings on a higher plane, but Renji is a example of a Shinigami that reached PEAK Soul Reaper power and the power is totally linked to his body (Like a few Soul Reapers).
Without spoiling too much, you gotta put into context the fact that even as a sternritter, they already have an ability to be immortal as long as their conduit counterpart is alive. Therefore, Yhwach must have at the very least the ability to not die, and more. His ability cannot be weaker than immortality.
omg, this episode was straight up FIRE, the animation (sakuga) went up a notch, renji finally got his first W, rose's bankai was lit, and kensei got his brief moment to shine. i underestimated ray mysterio, i thought he was some goofball but he was fire, quite sad that he died so early on, but i cannot wait for rukia's time to shine next week!!! 🥶
First win u mean 3 win
THEY ARE NOT READY FOR RUKIA'S BANKAI. Literally one of the strongest in existence.
@@KillingMachine56656 omg can't wait, stronger than renji's?
They really were like : not enough ban-Kai? , lets have a new one every episode lmao
it took the anime dieing and coming back for renji to finally get this huge W animated lol
The guy who had to get beat up just to show how strong the other guy is finally had his time to shine

in one of kubo's Q&A he revealed that james the little guy is the holder of the schrifit letter S the superstar and mask is the embodiment of his ideal here.
Q185:
I would like to know more about the relationship between Mask de Masculine and James. Going off of Yhwach's comment about James having died, would it be correct to assume that James is the real body whereas Masculine is just a fictitious form of his?
A185:
James is the real one while Masculine is the embodiment of his ideal hero.
Fun fact about Kinshara Butodan: The soundtrack of Bankai is using Indonesian traditional instrument known as Gamelan, and this gamelan are based on Javanese culture and Balinese culture
Yeah, Yhwach freely offers his blood to Quincy willing to join his cause but they must have unwavering commitment to him this pact grants the Quincy immeasurable power HOWEVER once you die your experiences, your memories, and the power granted to you by your pact with Yhwach will return to Yhwach. Yhwach is counting on The Quincy to strengthen the kernel of power he grants them precisely so when that Quincy dies Yhwach can reclaim the fully matured version of that power without putting any work into actually training on how to use it himself. Although it's not really clear in the manga I suspect Yhwach needs Uryu because Yhwach could resurrect himself in the human world due to his blood being inside of Uryu
Mayuri sounds like he's walking on minecraft amethyst blocks ngl
renji legit came in clutch
💯
1:03 I remember her when urahara was a captain she was working on his lab
Renji definitely deserves to take one of the Vizard captains’ place cause he is without question greater than them now.
There are quite a few empty spots now, also soi fon is much much worse than them
He doesn't want to
@@soumyajitmandal6028 soi fon at least won her fight lmao
@@bepo1702 she fought one of the weakest sternritters, plus needed omaeda's help. Also the vizards were heavily nerfed and given terrible match-ups to let other people shine
@@soumyajitmandal6028 I think rose is stronger than soi fon, but kensei is just fodder ngl
Well, Ichibee title "Manako Osho" has deeper meaning in manga (not spoilers, cuz he said it in this episode, it was cut from anime) - He came up with names "Shikai" and "Bankai"... BUT - He also knows the names of every Shikai and Bankai in existence - no matter where the owner is - AND he knows the names even if said Shikai or Bankai wasn't obtained yet - for example, if characters like Hisagi, Zaraki Kenpachi, Yumichika etc. etc. ever were to obtain Bankai - Ichibee already knows the name of their Bankai from the day they first grabbed the swords.
(Sorry for this poor English, it's my second language :D )
These next two episodes bout to be pure peak, us manga readers alr know 😭🔥
Now some of yall might be wondering: WHY TF DONT THE VISOREDS USE THEIR MASKS?
Short answer: Hollowfication is simply downright exhausting, thus proving impractical in extensive battles.
Visoreds cannot, or would rather not, hollowfy with their Bankai but can only use their masks with their Shikai, lasting for only an average of 3 minutes (with the exception of Mashiro Kuna, who can stay hollowfied for 15 hours probably due to her not releasing her shikai or use any kido, only breaking after she used a cero in the FKT arc; and Ichigo, who has an abnormally huge amount of reiatsu that even Unohana got fazed at, which allowed him to use his mask with his bankai for just a few seconds, then a few minutes, until at some point he mastered it.) Plus there's also the fact that Quincies can completely erase a hollow. In that sense, Vizoreds vs Sternritter is a bad matchup. Who knows what'd happen if an active Hollowfication gets hit with a Quincy's reishi...
But hey... THATS JUST A THEORY~!
1:01 hitsugaya bullied in school😂😂
8:27 low-key rose did seem like a villian there lol
We all need to come together and make him cosplay Rukia for next week, right?
“What is Kenpachi doing??”
My man is gonna lay a golden egg
Ichibei named everything in the Soul Society. There were no names for these phenomena before he named them. Names in Bleach are metaphysical representations of power (think of it sort of like Plato's theory of forms/platonic concepts), the names of things are what gives them their strength, hence why Soul Reapers call out the names of their Zanpakuto for Shikai and Bankai. This is also why Renji wasn't as powerful as he could be due to not knowing his Zanpakuto's full name.
in soul society that means he was before it
Renji finally got the DRIP!
Sajin's clan was super intersting story, i would personally like to expand their past 'sins', Komamura is actually a dope character and probably the only one with PROPER motive to fight in the war.
Renji got the Number Two ost.
Renji and Rukia were drippin, and Renji FINALLY TAKES A W???? Fire episode.
loving the sublte tech upgrades to the shinigami
I mean they use cellphones since episode 2 of original Bleach, Rukia always got the positions of new Hollows.
Renji is actually a fkn killer now 🤝
Apparently, next episode might be one of the BIG ones.
21:37 he has va of Kirito from Sao btw.
1:07 😂😂nah The Quincy Packed them Up🌬️
This episode is just fighting
I love it so much ❤️💪
“ soon as he go to sleep chop him up” 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
15:05 It was this moment James realized Mask wasn't a luchador, but a Hollywood celebrity.
20:29 Such youthful optimism!
Also was james the original or superstar?
@@estebanbr7596James
When renji defeated him then Yhwach said "JAMES" died not superstar
20:35 Yahwach is creator of all quincies, so when one of them dies, their power returns to him.
In the Soul Society arc byakuya even says it takes hundreds of years for a captain to master their bankai. Makes sense that you would only be given a basic weapon that develops along with you. Just like the zanpakuto.
The white haze next ep about to go crazy.
8:00 The music is very Balinese traditional instrumental music
Renji finally caught the W he'd been chasing for the last 2 decades😂
Äs talking about death in his peom at the end. How ironic because death is best served Cold they say 😂
the poem at the end its as nodt, another amazing moment will be coming in the next episode
Fr
Next Episode, finally we will see The Snow White 🥶 ❄️
I should be accustomed to this, but I literally laughed out loud when they start3 explaining how their powers work to the enemy lol
The goat is about to witness the glory of the tybw !
In this arc our boi changes the narrative of always taking L’s to becoming a force to be reckoned with.
I also thought it was number one at first and was kinda sad it wasn't, but then I remembered number one is Ichigo's theme
Sternritter S - The Scorched.
Mask the "Feminine"
0:50 soon u'll see hitsogaya cooking out there
when yhwach is asleep, haschwalt is in charge
Peak episode! Next episodes are gonna be insane!
Renji was trained by Zero squad division and thats why he's more powerful than he was before. 👍🔥
Wise words from great person called Kenpachi 😂 man i can't
The guy that dropped the spoiler in the stream 🤣
26 mims reaction
Love to see it
I never thought I would say this but Renji is cool now
My guy Renji have his Number 2 ost 😩
supertar had 3 or 4 power ups to defeat kensei shuei got whooped at lvl1 pretty much. Mask was just Kensei's natural counter
seen someone say "why dont they use their hollow powers?"... well its quite obvious but those people seem to be dumb. its either they use soul reaper powers or hollow powers, they cant use both and theyre more powerful/proficient with the soul reaper powers
It took so long to click why his true Zabimaru name is Sou-ou(Sou-ou)
Since i dont know Japanese.
After seeing Twin Star Exorcist clips again for a bit, i realised its japanese title is Sousei no Onmyouji
Sousei referring to Twin Star
So sou is basically means twin/ 2 / double
So Renji Bankai of snake (orochi-ou) and Monkey(Hih-ou)
The 2 ou, whatever ou means, i just take it as King since its japanese is also ou and i would think its fitting for Monkey King and Snake King
Full english would be Twin King Zabimaru
And that is fcking fire of a bankai name
Man I am So hyped for next Episode
Its going to be even better
Since ep 4 the ep's are getting better and better. Can't wait for after the next. That will be crazy
@@007-q6v6pfr As nodt man
@@kimzach0346Rukia vs As Nodt
The final hit is so satisfying
Also wrong, hitsugaya bankai is super powerful, though we won't see that form this season
Someone said its not number one, its number two 😂😂
Now it's no. 1 because up till now no one stopped the music
Renji may be stronger than some captains but this is not a requirement for him to become one or take the position of another... he needs to know how to manage the division and each one has different responsibilities in the soul society. Renji only has knowledge about the administration of the sixth division, that is, he will only become a captain if Byakuya dies or retires and sometimes it doesn't even happen... there are divisions that are commanded by specific families and currently the kuchiki family must have power in that division.
Bro just made that captain a star sonut
mask acts like he is the good guy, when he is acts like the heel
But in James' mind, he is the good guy. That's why Mask obviously thinks he's the Hero
Renji music was 🔥
Technically the vizards would be OP agaisnt the quincies because of their hollow transformations. But somehow the creator Kubo decided to not include it for some reason making them much weaker than how they're suppose to be
Central 46 banned the use of the masks
Rose at least talked and attacked at the same time. Also Hitsugaiya's immature bankai will always look cooler than renji's previous bankai.
We don't have to boot the vizards off. There are dead captains. There are positions available 😂
Do a cosplay of Renji with the glasses and the bandana...
Fair to say Renji is overdue to be a Captain
Be aware of that 🦋 comment you just said there. 🤭 the superstar reminds me of zangief from Street fighter 😂
Great reaction! 👍💯
Everyone knows that after your training arc, there is a mandatory shopping trip for new drip. Its not even worth saving the day if you don't look great doing it, right?
They have cell phones now? I'm pretty sure in like Episode 2 or 3 Rukia used a Spirit Phone to receive updates about Hollow locations...
Nice reference to Emerium Beam
They had cellphones since the beginning. :P Soulphones they called it, I think.
Mask Accidentally killing James is Renjis plan all along
He knows that Mask will use a star beam on him that's why he drop at where James is.
Neel, if you noticed it’s a common theme in Bleach that the stronger the bankai is, the less it is in size and shape. Lemme explain:
Isshin said that all Captains learn how to suppress their blade otherwise they would be walking with a huge ass sword. That applies to bankai also. Now just let’s look at some of the strongest shinigami bankai in bleach:
Old man Yama, Ichigo, now Renhi. Ichigo just gets new cloth and normal katana. Yamamoto, who we know for sure has the strongest shown bankai just gets his sword burnt.
And now Renji: he had a massive mecha snake who did jack shit and he only for L’s up to now. And after returning from Royal Palace, he got a sword and a prosthetic arm. He merked higher tier Sternritter with it, which, by the way, massive puppets bankai didn’t even damage.
So what about the new form of Komamura's bankai?
So much false.
They nerfed the vizards so much that they became trash.
Bruh, the Hitsugaya hate reminds me of KOL😂
Next episode is gonna be cool❄️❄️❄️ No pun intended 😉
