What did you guys think of Kisuke's role in TYBW? Were you as annoyed as I was with his ending being left up in the air? Let me know! PS - Also, just to quickly update you as to my plans regarding these new mini-trailers - I'm not watching them yet! Rather than spam your inbox with uploads, I'm waiting until the third and final mini-trailer is out next week, at which point I'll do one big video reacting to them and discussing them - thanks for your patience!
I was Abit upset that they didn't show him after the war was won and I think he was definitely play a major major role in tybw which is super interesting because the same thing happened in the arrancar arc he also played a big role there Although this time was different because kisuke finally fights personally
Im fine with his ending, if Kibo accutally makes a new long arc with the Hell Arc. If not, then they should have shown his fate. If we get a new arc, then we might loose Mayuri in Hell and finally get Kisuke as Captain again. (Not to say, that his skill and his inventions would acctually make him a fine candidate for the 0 Division)
I just wish Kisuke was the only MVP and Mayuri was taken out by Uryuu, who also demonstrates the power of the Antithesis and has a small interaction with Nemu. A man can dream. Also yes, I did find his ambiguous fate annoying for years, and I was beyond happy that the Hell chapter gave us confirmation of his survival.
Kisuke is the Batman of Bleach. He has a contingency plan for every possible setback and obstacle. Except it’s more believable with Kisuke since he’s centuries old.
Truth. In a way his drive to see his plans through to the end no matter the cost may be the product of pyschological trauma caused by Aizen getting the better of him, derailing his life/career.
Kisuke is about plans and results. He uses others and sets pieces for very specific outcomes regardless of the consequences with his personal relations with said people, even if it's a long term friend like Yoruichi. He gets involved to ensure the finality of his plans though to be fair it involves essentially saving the worlds. At least he's now prospering and expanding his shop to other regions of Japan. And Yoruichi is an instructor at the academy.
Yeah but imagine if it was Mayuri and Urahara instead Mayuri and Kenpachi for instance. I'd love to see some wacked ass fan fictional writing would come of that. Also I ain't fighting either or them. Can catch me being a NPC zombie haha
Something that people don't usually mention is that Kisuke is practically Ichigo's godfather, in the sense that out of anyone, he had the biggest hand in Ichigo's birth and (power) growth. Even with learning Bankai, though Yoruichi trained him directly, Kisuke still created all the tools for him to succeed. You could argue that Aizen is the one that created White, which eventually led to Ichigo, but Kisuke is the one that stepped in without Aizen's foresight. Kisuke is an unmatched mastermind, to the point where his unintended consequences end up working better than the initial plan (assuming he DIDN'T plan any of this).
Kisukes vibe to me has always been the man who is willing to do whatever is absolutely necessary, not because he is an immoral person, but because he knows what would happen if he doesn't. If people hate him, if people get hurt, if sacrifices have to be made, he will carry that regret with him because someone has to. I think it's total pragmatism despite his empathy, rather than lacking in empathy. I think his bankai exemplifies this because he uses it to continue fighting knowing that afterwards, all of those injuries, all that pain, will come straight back. He will sacrifice anything and everything to make sure the good guys win, including himself.
True, but I don't think regret has anything to do with it because he does that over and over, he was also trained as an assassin to show zero remorse (I doubt he remembers anyone he killed in that time). But again it was for the greater good so it can't be understated.
@@manuelacosta9463 I was thinking that he does regret what he has to do, but will always do it anyway. We see that he cares, and I do believe he is saddened when he has to go to an extreme measure But will ALWAYS make the hard choice if it's his only option. I don't think he regrets actually doing the thing, but rather regrets being forced into a position where it was necessary. We know he gets emotionally attached and we know he is saddened by loss, so I'm just not sure I buy the idea that he never feels guilty for what he's had to do
@@TheVoulenterilyMad Yes. He did display a sense of self reflection at the end of CFYOW in general, even expressing shock at Yoruichi wanting to brainwash Hisagi especially the menacingly paranoid state she was in, even pointing out that she normally does not care for Soul Society's nobility and their secrets. His wanting to be punished if ever he crosses the line into world threatening villain means his heart in ultimately in the right place and he knows his limits and lines.
@@manuelacosta9463 it's so interesting, because the "willing to go too far to ensure a win" is so often a back-door to turning into a villian But potentially he tries not to get bogged down by actually considering the morality of his actions, because doing so could cause him to hesitate which would cost lives, and like you pointed out, if he truly went off the wall, yourichi would either let him know, or stop him
@@TheVoulenterilyMad Truth. She did threatened to snap his neck if he ever sinks into evil. That moment really telegraphed both their apparent falling out postwar but also Yoruichi's sense of responsibility for maintaining stability even if it means going against her long time friend. Another potential for Kisuke's villainy is his need for control and manipulation.
there is something really really nice about kisuke and ichigo’s relationship, they grow from master and student to two friends who can rely on each other, you can imagine how good it felt to kisuke when ichigo called and said “hold on a little longer ok? im arriving and im going to deal with it” ichigo just takes an enormous weight from everyone’s shoulders and he sounds hella cool saying that lol
Kisuke is like Dumbledore - he's a "for the greater good" kinda guy, and that sometimes makes him do pretty despicable things, but he's definitely not evil.
And like Dumbledore, he is Very shady too... 🤖 Actually, a Lot shadier than Dumbledore. It bafles me that you all trust him this much. 🗣️🗣️ I cant. He is way too mysterious. I feel like If the manga continued, he would certainly snap in the end 🙃😬 dangerous foe
A mix of Dumbledore and Batman. I kinda missed a character in Harry Potter that hacks through everything like Kisuke does, but I guess that defies the whole concept of Harry Potter
Might I add that he might've actually planned and prepping this, waaaay back when Masaki died, let's be clear here Ryuen's wife also died during this time and Urahara is someone who continuously observed both of these people's lives when Aizen also knew about Yhwach killing Ichigo's mom. There is no way that with everything we've known about Kisuke and how he operates, that he did not see the Quincy King's eventual return, when two Women who were not of pureblood were coincidentally found dead during the same day and time. There could be a discussion here that everything that went on in this war, everything was within his calculations. Sealing Aizen after basically starting the plot of Bleach by using Rukia as bait in order draw out Aizen and then to use Aizen against Yhwach; after the death of Ginjo and Tsukishima he could've then sent Kukaku to retrieve them before the gotei were aware of their existence, remember even Kukaku couldn't say no to his tasks for some reason the book and movie until you understand. He knew full well the captains would not listen to Mayuri so he was already prepping his lab in case the Quincy made new "equipments" to hinder soul society, He seemed to have been well prepared about how Quincy's operate and the spells or tools they use, I wouldn't be Surprised that Ryuen gave him special privileges when it comes to uncovering the secrets of the Quincies since he was the one who technically saved Masaki using his own method. He was well prepared to strike a deal with the Arrancars and knew how to get them on his side.I don't know if it was explained but maybe Urahara himself inspired Ryuen to become a doctor. Anyways going back to the main point Askin himself was pondering about his title as a war potential and even Yhwach had some stuff to say about how even he the man who could see the future, could not for certain say that Urahara Kisuke would not have any way of completely derailing him and warns Askin to be as prepared as Urahara if he wants to live or win. That my friends is probably what Askin found so terrifying about Kisuke, this man who did not have the same augmented body as Mayuri which allows Mayuri to adapt in a fight if not he'd be dead ten times over, neither the Reiatsu level as Aizen, nor the battle prowess of Kenpachi, the Wisdom of Ichibe and the Latent ability of Ichigo, nor the gift of foresight via the Almighty; this man went on the back stage and literally carved it into their being that "I foresaw all these and it was well within my calculations" MVP of the war? Lmao fuck that, MVP of the series that's for sure. Ryuen and Ishin arriving in soul society without Yhwach even seeing this possibility, while giving Uryu the still silver, Tsukishima coming in with his book of the end, Aizen beig there; all I want is for Urahara's final scene in the war basically muttering "Check and mate"
Is that even a real question???? Between Kisuke and Aizen both could be viewed as and considered Saviors of the entire series of Bleach. Considering both played a key role and influence in shaping Ichigo from what he was, into what he's become.
kisuke is just. such a cool character. he holds such a amazing role in what is bleach, and just has such an incredible influence on the actions of others and most importantly, the soul society. he’s so cool, smart, clever, and just such a badass character. so proud to say he’s my #1 favorite in bleach. what a goat.
Mayuri: *uses an entire lab with scientists to discover a cure* Kisuke *with a trip to Hueco Mundo and limited equipment*: I've got a solution and made a cure, the only help I need is delivery! Mayuri's team: \(*o*)/
Kisuke did some really important stuff, as you would expect, but I think Mayuri is seen as the biggest MVP of the TYBW since his story ends in a very satisfying way. Plus, I think his battle with Pernida is a better overall fight then Kisuke’s final fight, even though Askin was a great character.
Really? What Mayuri did is a shade below Urahara. During the time where the Bankais of 4 Captains were stolen, it was Urahara who restored it. It was Urahara who act during the most crucial time. Do not base your so called MVP role only due to the fight.
@@chavaspada Warning him only but he failed to persuade him. MVP is a role that utilize all your resources at your disposal at the most crucial time. In that regard Urahara is way ahead Mayuri that is the very reason why Ywach regarded him as a Special War Power in which Mayuri never attained.
Yoruichi: Kisuke do the thing! Kisuke: oh you finally want your zanpakuto we had to seal away bec- Yoruichi: MaKe Me LuStY lOoKiNg LiGhTnInG kItTy. RiGhT mEoW bItCh.
What I loved about this character is that when we see him, he just seems like a joking jovial kind of guy. But bit by bit, Kubo shows and reveals more of him and what level he really his. I would put him near the top of the captains. He is just such a so cool character. I am excited to see him this arc.
Kisuke kinda reminds me of shikamaru with this ability to plan for almost any occurrence. Though I haven't actually read the TYBW arc, I know enough of what happens, BUT I can't wait to give it a faithful read and really put everything together!!
joint effort between them but Mayuri was up front he revives a chunk of their captains and vice captains, helps in restoring the Bankais, the only one to actually beat his god quincy
Yeah Mayuri was surprisingly amazing. That pernida fight is up there in best fights in the whole series to me. I went into it mad cause I'd rather see other stuff and it straight destroys my expectations.
Yeah it's called Bleach you see this man playing in the shadows, him, SK and Aizen are the only real players on the board; Yamamoto, Ichibe, Gotei, Ichigo, it hurts to say it but even Yoruichi and Tessai are nothing more but pieces on the board when these two go at it with their wits.
@@yamatonoryuujin4871 feel like misinterpreting what I'm saying on purpose I'm saying a story where kisuke is the main character in a story and where everyone else is playing a surporting role And we get to see how he really sees everything and also how he began when he was still young
If you beg for Mercy with Kisuke you'd get it haha If you beg for Mercy with Mayuri you'll get a really long speech about Mercy hahaha lmao and then you'll get the phrase Too Bad it's Opposite Day but it's not Opposite Day (but it is)
Would love to see how Rukia met Urahara and ended up with the relationship we see at the start of the series. Bit weird that the adopted daughter of a noble family would be so buddy-buddy with such a notorious criminal.
Kisuke is my favorite character and I remember when his Bankai was revealed people were upset and complaining but if u ask me the Bankai is not only OP but suits kisuke perfectly.
@@truthspreader1996 let me preface this by stating i know im late but what i mean is it suits Kisuke perfectly because of its versatility and near endless possible applications. I mean imo, i believe it even mirrors his shikai in that with his shikai he utilizes "blood red energy" in a multitude of ways/purposes. Theres the regular energy blast he swing from the sword, theres the blood mist shield for defense, theres the blood red net that not only restricts the enemy and binds them but then he stabs it and orbs on the ends blow it up. And with his bankai u can get the same versatility, we've seen him open up Askin's arm, heal his own eyes that were completely obliterated, strengthened his own arm, he made a passageway into Askins inescapable gift ball thing etc. Then you factor in other possibilities, his bankai lets him deconstruct and reconstruct whatever is withing his range.
25:50 how he sees it is the soul Society May have abandoned him but he never Abandoned the Soul Society and he believes the other feel the same way and he isn’t wholly wrong but you can see by her face that she dosnt fully share his opinion. Kisuke is very much a zealot in my mind, he is a smart one with is normally an oxymoron but he will sacrifice everything and everybody for the greater good, for the Greater Good are some of the scariest words you can ever hear someone say the only thing that makes them scarier is if the person actually believe it and Kisuke one thousand percent believes it.
@@kelyansabz8865 correct but that doesn't change mayuris contribution to the war. This isn't taking anything away from kenpachi. As this is more of a mayuri vs urahara contribution to the war debate I'm not sure what ur arguement here is
@@Turnpost2552 yeah true Uryuu and Byakuya are my favorites buuut idk what Kubo was doing with Uryuu during the war I wanted to see him fight a few Captains and Ichigo a bit before Hashwalt then be a 3 on 1 Ichigo complete Bankai, Uryuu Volstindig, and Aizen Bankai vs Yhwach
@@michaelmoss1515 No, Isshin was born in Soul Society (remember, he was a head of the Shiba clan), and so he never had a physical body. The only character who can swap between physical and spirit like that is Kazui.
i can't wait to see my favorite guy URAHARA in the anime and I really hope that cubo will make some extra scenes including URAHARA and YOURICHI at the end of this arc OR MAYBE SOME EXTRA SCENES SHOWING THAT NILL MANAGED TO SAVE THEM
I don't understand Mayuri's beef with Kisuke at all. Wasn't Kisuke the one who got him out of prison??? If it weren't for Kisuke, Mayuri would still be rotting inside a cell
I think Mayuri’s beef is with kisuke just because the simple fact that he feels like a 2nd rate scientist compared to kisuke. It always seems like he’s trying to catch up/surpass kisuke to prove to himself that he’s just as good or better than kisuke.
@@forthe3136 Add to the fact that when the truth about why Kisuke was exiled in the 1st place came out. He probably felt like many viewed Kisuke as the rightful captain of squad 12 and they saw him as just a fill in.
@@Turnpost2552 he created the hogyoku which caused aizen to seek it. He put it in rukia which caused aizen to search for her. He essentially made aizen a prison for it. He caused Ichigo to lose his powers to trap aizen. He created Ichigo. He planned to use Ichigo as a soul king. He was responsible for the hollowfication experiment.
@@jermainekngdom3154 No, that's not true at all. Urahara created his own Hogyoku and Aizen also created his own Hogyoku. Aizen knew it was imperfect so he seek Urahara's to perfect it by combined both. He didn't planned to use Ichigo as Soul King, that was Ichibei and to some extend, Kyoraku. You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
@@zeroskaterz92 please stop saying "you clearly don't know what your talking about." Any negative comment will be ignored. It's a reason I say that. It can be a opinion or a interpretation. Kisuke is the "last man.". He knew about the plan and by him not telling Ichigo you can bet he was in on it.
DIDNT READ MANGA BUT EP 1 OF 1000 YEAR BLOOD WAR WHEN URAHARA WENT WITH THEM I WAS LIKE WOW THIS IS SERIOUS AND WAS IMMEDIATELY JACKED AND READY FOR THIS ARC
I love that characters like kisuke, mayuri, aizen and (briefly) Szlayel bring a science fiction component to Bleach and adds a nice bit of complexity to the storytelling. Whithout it, the series would be limited to a typical magical fantasy story.
! ..Shikai-Writing-Prompt: I'm Idea-Socuting and just want to see what differing Ideas people come up withh for the following brief explanation: The Shikai allows the concepts of distance and diversity to be manipulated when in direct correlation to each other! This allows him to cut minions or enemies and improve or degrade their teleportation abilities.
So Urahara is deemed a special threat because he’s essentially the Batman of the Bleach franchise; with enough prep time he can defeat almost anyone because of his “resourcefulness”. Cool.
IMO i think its a big oversight from Kubo to have Hiyori still talk and feel like this to Kisuke. She really didnt have a real reason to dislike him before and hes gone so far above and beyond proving his abilities and everything to her as well as the personal debt that he saved her and everyone elses she cares about lives. And continues to do so.
I feel like that there was clearly so much groundwork and forshadowing, including Ywach flat out saying that Ishida can be the strongest quincy, that Kubo had so much planned to extend this far longer than what we got. Then at some point you notice things start happening too fast, plot holes form, and it felt lackluster compared to the work prior. That was when I realized Kubo had something going on and we would not get the ending we wanted. That we would not get the ending *he* wanted. Which is sad as he takes the heat for something he had no control over. His writing isnt perfect by any means. But it is way better than what we got for last chapters. The way Kisuke, Ichigo, and "Everything in Rain" was wrapped up in a neat little bow is proof of that.
Urahara thought everything through so much that he framed Orihime and Chad for certain death. The situation was saved only by a passing "other character".
Wanted to buy all the bleach Special Edition box sets to go back through the series before the anime, so I read through the soul society arc. Set 2 seems nonexistent so went to watching the anime. Currently in the fullbring arc. Can't wait for the anime's return.
I look forward to seeing your video on Mayuri and Kisuke in future. I'm curious what you think of their complimentary Bankais (A mother guardian/ a jizo (baby guardian).
22:55 so it’s something that crossed my mind a few times but with you just saying about her (Ichigo’s mum) leaving school, what’s the age difference between her and ishin? I mean he is a captain so he has to be quite old as most people can’t just master Bankai in 3 days. Time in the soul society is something that fascinates me as we know souls go there between life’s in the real world but how dose that one work? Do soul Society residents just vanish one day when they get reborn or do they have to die there to be reborn? Also the ageing thing and the time they spend in that realm, if you think just how large earth is and how meny souls there are then you have this whole other world filled with souls it’s mindboggling also how dose the soul Society deal with the population growth on earth?
I feel like Urahara is the Batman of the Bleach universe. He has so many plans to beat every single character, that it's hard to believe he could lose to anyone
Urahara is probably a close runner up for MVP of the TYBW behind Mayuri. His role in the arc is really fun though because we get to see him in more action than ever before. It's great!

I really liked how Urahara created that device which allowed Nel to become a grown woman again.
Kisuke And Mayuri On The Same Side How Do You Win?
The Answer Is : You Can’t
kisuke is just. such a cool character.
he holds such a amazing role in what is bleach, and just has such an incredible influence on the actions of others and most importantly, the soul society. he’s so cool, smart, clever, and just such a badass character. so proud to say he’s my #1 favorite in bleach. what a goat.
I’ve been waiting for another Urahara centric video, this is gonna be a fun watch I’m sure!
Mayuri: *uses an entire lab with scientists to discover a cure*
Kisuke *with a trip to Hueco Mundo and limited equipment*: I've got a solution and made a cure, the only help I need is delivery!
Mayuri's team: \(*o*)/
Kisuke did some really important stuff, as you would expect, but I think Mayuri is seen as the biggest MVP of the TYBW since his story ends in a very satisfying way. Plus, I think his battle with Pernida is a better overall fight then Kisuke’s final fight, even though Askin was a great character.
Agreed. Urahara is my favourite character but Mayuri was the MVP during the TYBW arc.
I agree
Really? What Mayuri did is a shade below Urahara. During the time where the Bankais of 4 Captains were stolen, it was Urahara who restored it. It was Urahara who act during the most crucial time. Do not base your so called MVP role only due to the fight.
@@wenrodgallaza7551 he warned Yamamoto and even scolded him, he saved Zaraki and he killed Pernida.
@@chavaspada Warning him only but he failed to persuade him. MVP is a role that utilize all your resources at your disposal at the most crucial time. In that regard Urahara is way ahead Mayuri that is the very reason why Ywach regarded him as a Special War Power in which Mayuri never attained.
Yoruichi: Kisuke do the thing!
Kisuke: oh you finally want your zanpakuto we had to seal away bec-
Yoruichi: MaKe Me LuStY lOoKiNg LiGhTnInG kItTy. RiGhT mEoW bItCh.
Kiskuke is truly my fav anime character of all time he’s a nothing short of a genius who will win by any means necessary
What I loved about this character is that when we see him, he just seems like a joking jovial kind of guy. But bit by bit, Kubo shows and reveals more of him and what level he really his. I would put him near the top of the captains. He is just such a so cool character. I am excited to see him this arc.
Kisuke kinda reminds me of shikamaru with this ability to plan for almost any occurrence. Though I haven't actually read the TYBW arc, I know enough of what happens, BUT I can't wait to give it a faithful read and really put everything together!!
Except Kisuke can actually throw down with powerful enemies.
Urahara’s roll is to turn Yoruichi into a hentia Thunder cat
based
I feel like Urharha's role and most of the 5 war potentials role were under played.
joint effort between them but Mayuri was up front
he revives a chunk of their captains and vice captains, helps in restoring the Bankais, the only one to actually beat his god quincy
Yeah Mayuri was surprisingly amazing. That pernida fight is up there in best fights in the whole series to me. I went into it mad cause I'd rather see other stuff and it straight destroys my expectations.
Kisuke was the one that restored there bankis.
MVP is pretty debatable between Urahara, Aizen and Kurotsuchi especially after the manga
Mayuri, Kisuke, Shunsui. The three mvp’s of the tybw arc
Absolutely agree!
If Kubo really wanted to mess with the Gotei, he could've had the Vandenreich come out of the ever-present shadows around Kisuke's eyes
Man if the anime doesn't show urahara and grimjow being alive at the end imma be pissed
I like how there's literally no shadows in this room, but Kubo still has to draw Kisuke with his little hat shadows over his eyes
Feel like kisuke should have had his own spinoff manga
God no
Yeah it's called Bleach you see this man playing in the shadows, him, SK and Aizen are the only real players on the board; Yamamoto, Ichibe, Gotei, Ichigo, it hurts to say it but even Yoruichi and Tessai are nothing more but pieces on the board when these two go at it with their wits.
@@yamatonoryuujin4871 feel like misinterpreting what I'm saying on purpose
I'm saying a story where kisuke is the main character in a story and where everyone else is playing a surporting role
And we get to see how he really sees everything and also how he began when he was still young
Kisuke black pilled the captains...
Mayuri knows that he is really holding Kisuke's place, if not for Aizen...Kisuke would still be running Squad 12
I think Urahara would have left with Yoruichi, he is just more a free lancer man
@@framedthunder6436 100+ years of exile would make that change to him and her.
If you beg for Mercy with Kisuke you'd get it haha
If you beg for Mercy with Mayuri you'll get a really long speech about Mercy hahaha lmao and then you'll get the phrase Too Bad it's Opposite Day but it's not Opposite Day (but it is)
Yess😂
Would love to see how Rukia met Urahara and ended up with the relationship we see at the start of the series. Bit weird that the adopted daughter of a noble family would be so buddy-buddy with such a notorious criminal.
This is my favorite character, thank you for this video.
Mvps of the final arc
Kisuke
Mayuri two characters who dont use over whelming power to beat their opps.
Kisuke is my favorite character and I remember when his Bankai was revealed people were upset and complaining but if u ask me the Bankai is not only OP but suits kisuke perfectly.
Suits him perfectly....how do you mean?
@@truthspreader1996 let me preface this by stating i know im late but what i mean is it suits Kisuke perfectly because of its versatility and near endless possible applications. I mean imo, i believe it even mirrors his shikai in that with his shikai he utilizes "blood red energy" in a multitude of ways/purposes. Theres the regular energy blast he swing from the sword, theres the blood mist shield for defense, theres the blood red net that not only restricts the enemy and binds them but then he stabs it and orbs on the ends blow it up. And with his bankai u can get the same versatility, we've seen him open up Askin's arm, heal his own eyes that were completely obliterated, strengthened his own arm, he made a passageway into Askins inescapable gift ball thing etc. Then you factor in other possibilities, his bankai lets him deconstruct and reconstruct whatever is withing his range.
@@andrewdecker616 Oh, that's what you meant.
@@truthspreader1996 yea, do u disagree??
@@andrewdecker616 Bleach has never been the clear-cut type so yeah, I can see it your way.
Gotta say kisuke has done a lot of questionable things but he’s written so well you can’t help but like him
Mr Tommo on Urahara, that is as good as it gets💣💥
Your channel is hyping me even more for what's coming 🔥
I hope the anime shoes Urahara and his group freeing Haribel and liberating hueco mundo. That way we can see Chad, Nel, and Grimmjow do more.
25:50 how he sees it is the soul Society May have abandoned him but he never Abandoned the Soul Society and he believes the other feel the same way and he isn’t wholly wrong but you can see by her face that she dosnt fully share his opinion.
Kisuke is very much a zealot in my mind, he is a smart one with is normally an oxymoron but he will sacrifice everything and everybody for the greater good, for the Greater Good are some of the scariest words you can ever hear someone say the only thing that makes them scarier is if the person actually believe it and Kisuke one thousand percent believes it.
One of my favorite big brain shinigami Urahara Kisukeさん. He definitely has one of the best waifu within the Bleach anime and manga Yoruichi.
faxx
Tommo did u see the new PV for the sternritters?? It’s sooo good!!🔥🔥U should do a reaction vid/ short analysis on it!!!!!
It's still mayuri. The dark horse. All eyes were on the war potentials and mayuri was the reason they stayed in the war the whole time. Underrated
Smh no
Take meds
@@coreythomas3633 without mayuri kenpachi would have literally never made it to the final fight and toshiro would still be dead lmao
@@thatsanicememe7984 Without Kenpachi Gremmy would have ended the war with his meteor. Mayuri would have died with literally everyone in sereitei.
@@kelyansabz8865 correct but that doesn't change mayuris contribution to the war. This isn't taking anything away from kenpachi. As this is more of a mayuri vs urahara contribution to the war debate I'm not sure what ur arguement here is
Any notice the parallel in both war?
The Espada/Aizen Arc - Kisuke MVP
Quincy/Yhwach Arc - Mayuri MVP
I would think mvp would be ishida lol tht quincy arrow kill bach
@@Turnpost2552 yeah true Uryuu and Byakuya are my favorites buuut idk what Kubo was doing with Uryuu during the war I wanted to see him fight a few Captains and Ichigo a bit before Hashwalt then be a 3 on 1 Ichigo complete Bankai, Uryuu Volstindig, and Aizen Bankai vs Yhwach
Kisuke somehow creating a Gigai that can reproduce with humans was pretty important too
Wait what ? Who is this Gigai ?
@@michaelmoss1515 isshin?
@@flyingmalkie4346 that wasn’t isshin’s real body ?
@@michaelmoss1515 they meet he saves her loses powers gets gigai then makes babies i believe
@@michaelmoss1515 No, Isshin was born in Soul Society (remember, he was a head of the Shiba clan), and so he never had a physical body. The only character who can swap between physical and spirit like that is Kazui.
I just want to say I get the best 18th birthday present ever because the bleach anime returns on my birthday October 10th and I am excited
Kisuke Urahara is my favorite character!
Kisuke wearing his normal clothes is fine, it is an inverse of standard captains robes
Urahara is my favorite, he managed to unify all the camps, unlike Mayuri who inspires me only hatred or disgust.
Of all of my friend I love bleach the most. I got them into bleach..Every question they come at me.. whatever it is my answer is Urahara lol
i can't wait to see my favorite guy URAHARA in the anime and I really hope that cubo will make some extra scenes including URAHARA and YOURICHI at the end of this arc OR MAYBE SOME EXTRA SCENES SHOWING THAT NILL MANAGED TO SAVE THEM
Kisuke is mvp of the whole series arguably.
I don't understand Mayuri's beef with Kisuke at all. Wasn't Kisuke the one who got him out of prison??? If it weren't for Kisuke, Mayuri would still be rotting inside a cell
I think Mayuri’s beef is with kisuke just because the simple fact that he feels like a 2nd rate scientist compared to kisuke. It always seems like he’s trying to catch up/surpass kisuke to prove to himself that he’s just as good or better than kisuke.
@@forthe3136 Add to the fact that when the truth about why Kisuke was exiled in the 1st place came out. He probably felt like many viewed Kisuke as the rightful captain of squad 12 and they saw him as just a fill in.
Inferiority complex
Its not even close,kisuke MVP
Hello sir an AMAZING video as always I will requesting a top 10 shikai for 15 time please do
Absolutely love Kisuke Urahara! He is my favorite in the Bleach anime/manga. I would love to see more of him as well as his bankai!
Kisuke is a secret villain. I felt bad for aizen when kisuke beat him.
He actually is responsible for a lot in bleach.
not really
@@Turnpost2552 he created the hogyoku which caused aizen to seek it.
He put it in rukia which caused aizen to search for her. He essentially made aizen a prison for it. He caused Ichigo to lose his powers to trap aizen.
He created Ichigo. He planned to use Ichigo as a soul king. He was responsible for the hollowfication experiment.
@@jermainekngdom3154 No, that's not true at all. Urahara created his own Hogyoku and Aizen also created his own Hogyoku. Aizen knew it was imperfect so he seek Urahara's to perfect it by combined both. He didn't planned to use Ichigo as Soul King, that was Ichibei and to some extend, Kyoraku.
You clearly don't know what you're talking about.
@@zeroskaterz92 please stop saying "you clearly don't know what your talking about." Any negative comment will be ignored. It's a reason I say that. It can be a opinion or a interpretation. Kisuke is the "last man.". He knew about the plan and by him not telling Ichigo you can bet he was in on it.
@@zeroskaterz92 if Ichigo would have defeated ywach or killed the soul king he would have become the soul king.
DIDNT READ MANGA BUT EP 1 OF 1000 YEAR BLOOD WAR WHEN URAHARA WENT WITH THEM I WAS LIKE WOW THIS IS SERIOUS AND WAS IMMEDIATELY JACKED AND READY FOR THIS ARC
This is the second time you say he uses an unspecified Kido against Opie.
Isn't it just the same Benihime beam he used against Aizen?
I love that characters like kisuke, mayuri, aizen and (briefly) Szlayel bring a science fiction component to Bleach and adds a nice bit of complexity to the storytelling. Whithout it, the series would be limited to a typical magical fantasy story.
!
..Shikai-Writing-Prompt: I'm Idea-Socuting and just want to see what differing Ideas people
come up withh for the following brief explanation:
The Shikai allows the concepts of distance and diversity to be manipulated when in direct correlation to each other! This allows him to cut minions or enemies and improve or degrade their teleportation abilities.
Gratidude for this explanation
I know what Kisuke promised Grimmjow, a kill assist 😅
the og thumbnail for this vid was fire
urahara best character
I love Kisuke and I'm so glad he finally has a big role in the series.
Great video Mr. Tommo
MVP of the whole series. The absolute goat
So Urahara is deemed a special threat because he’s essentially the Batman of the Bleach franchise; with enough prep time he can defeat almost anyone because of his “resourcefulness”. Cool.
I would've loved to see urahara vs Gerard valkyrie
IMO i think its a big oversight from Kubo to have Hiyori still talk and feel like this to Kisuke. She really didnt have a real reason to dislike him before and hes gone so far above and beyond proving his abilities and everything to her as well as the personal debt that he saved her and everyone elses she cares about lives. And continues to do so.
Yoruichi at 21:28 looks so good haha
I feel like that there was clearly so much groundwork and forshadowing, including Ywach flat out saying that Ishida can be the strongest quincy, that Kubo had so much planned to extend this far longer than what we got. Then at some point you notice things start happening too fast, plot holes form, and it felt lackluster compared to the work prior. That was when I realized Kubo had something going on and we would not get the ending we wanted. That we would not get the ending *he* wanted. Which is sad as he takes the heat for something he had no control over. His writing isnt perfect by any means. But it is way better than what we got for last chapters. The way Kisuke, Ichigo, and "Everything in Rain" was wrapped up in a neat little bow is proof of that.
Already it’s gonna be a banger so you get a like before the video even starts!
27:00 why quincy came to help kisuke to build a gateway explain please or can i get a video link where you explain it?
the batman of the soul society
New teaser is out, no sub. But As Nodt's voice is amazing
As Nodt vs Byakuya is gonna be so good, As Nodt sounds like a demon 😭
@@str8fye9 Did you see the streaming rights were finally confirmed?
Urahara thought everything through so much that he framed Orihime and Chad for certain death. The situation was saved only by a passing "other character".
Kisuke is my favorite Bleach character
As far as bankai stealing goes would that mean shinji, Rose and the vizards couldn't have their bankai stolen
I really want the anime to show that urahara flashback kubo had to cut
Wanted to buy all the bleach Special Edition box sets to go back through the series before the anime, so I read through the soul society arc. Set 2 seems nonexistent so went to watching the anime. Currently in the fullbring arc. Can't wait for the anime's return.
The other Visoreds were fully reinstated to their previous ranks in the Soul Society.
Love this . Remember Kubo is Uharaha
lol i think i just realized that Kisuke calls EVERYONE San.
I mean kisuke also kickstarted ichihime with that dress orihime wore. Truly a mastermind.
Grimmjow Yaya ! I can’t wait to see him animated again
Mayuri - Sima Yi
Kisuke - Zhuge Liang
I look forward to seeing your video on Mayuri and Kisuke in future. I'm curious what you think of their complimentary Bankais (A mother guardian/ a jizo (baby guardian).
Dude is always MVP
Whatever arc it is, Kisuke is always the true MVP!
Is it safe to assume we are getting a TYBW streaming on Hulu video?
I know you've mentioned them all before, but what video do you list the 5 war potentials?
22:55 so it’s something that crossed my mind a few times but with you just saying about her (Ichigo’s mum) leaving school, what’s the age difference between her and ishin? I mean he is a captain so he has to be quite old as most people can’t just master Bankai in 3 days.
Time in the soul society is something that fascinates me as we know souls go there between life’s in the real world but how dose that one work? Do soul Society residents just vanish one day when they get reborn or do they have to die there to be reborn? Also the ageing thing and the time they spend in that realm, if you think just how large earth is and how meny souls there are then you have this whole other world filled with souls it’s mindboggling also how dose the soul Society deal with the population growth on earth?
grimjow probably wants to battle ichigo again because the last time he fought ichigo he lost but now he wants to return the favour
Grimmjow should leave it be given he’s 2-1 vs ichigo. If they fight again ichigo would win thus making 2 straight victories vs grimmjow
I feel like Urahara is the Batman of the Bleach universe. He has so many plans to beat every single character, that it's hard to believe he could lose to anyone
That shot of nel on the building just solidifies her best girl status for me.
I wounder how the guy who called kisuke amazing is doing
mayuri has a great memory, cameras and not the best rep for treating people the best
Urahara is probably a close runner up for MVP of the TYBW behind Mayuri. His role in the arc is really fun though because we get to see him in more action than ever before. It's great!
