Apologies once again for being a bit late on this on but let me know what you think of Yoruichi and Soi Fon's exciting new looks! Who do you prefer, and how do you feel about the choice to go with Yoruichi's noble attire?
I honestly prefer Yoruichi's old design given it's sheer practicality and representation of her removing herself from Soul Society and it's stifling/dangerous nobility. Simple yet modern, stealthy yet casual.
Hey this video was great. Thank you for the character favorites poll being made ur primary focus though as I was really anticipating those results! woot woot go kenpachi and urahara!
I like Yoruichi's noble attire but Soi Fon's really nails everything about her. I would love for this form to be like a mode-switch for her Bankai, like she can change between the stationary big nuke and this form.
Like Soifon's lethal hornet theme. Yoruichi's is regal and fits with her status as a noble, even if canon wise she never was comfortable with or liked the status at all. Pretty great take for them overall.
@@noobstoise1024 yeah he did. I heard something about the anime didn't want to do that arc without Kubo designing the spirits. Since they didn't want to go against anything kubo wanted to do himself
With Soi Fon, it looks more like they were thinking of what to do for her and one creator was like "remember the anime filler, the Zanpakuto rebellion where her Zanpakuto spirit emerged? Let's use that as a base and then we can figure out where to put her Bankai features".
That arc is filler for sure, but there's some interesting canon things that came out of that. Shunsui's zanpakutou spirit in TYBW, for example. I don't think BBS is exactly new to that arc's design elements either lol. So who knows, perhaps Kubo has more of a hand in some of these BBS exclusives than people think.
Soi Fon’s beyond Bankai really clicks with me and honestly looks like what her original Bankai should’ve been. Jakuho Raikoben could’ve been a last resort part of it instead of the thing. Also the cat ears make her even cuter
I think that is her sword...would explain why it didn't fit her style she seemed like she hated being a princess. So since she was royalty her shikai and bankai took on royal aspects.
Looking at this design for yoruichi, I absolutely love it and you’re right they definitely took props from her royal heritage and the fact that we never saw the sacred shihoin armory that yushiro brought to the royal palace!! Maybe this is a concept we would have actually seen if Kubo had more time to flesh these arcs out
I always figured Yoroichi since she didn't like to use her zanpakuto had one that completely goes against her hakuda abilities. Like it would be a hindrance to it or just her overall abilities as a whole. Just like Soi Fon hates her bankai cause it isn't something you'd use for assassination
@@CaptainKotetsu to be fair they didn't have much to go on and its not like they have the authority to make a zanpakuto for her, so they did the best they could
I mean given that she’s a high noble she might not have her own Zanpakuto she could very well have an ancestral sword whom she doesn’t get on with. Her sword could well be a highborn spirit who is quite regal and rigid
Just started playing Bleach Brave Souls a couple months ago it’s actually pretty cool. I wish it was more popular. I’m glad a bigger RUclipsr is covering it even if you only do it every so often.
Soi Fon looks pretty much like her take or version of her spirit in the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc. If I remember correctly it had the giant stinger on the arm too. Interesting like you said that they gave out of all the shinigami in the series Yoroichi one
Your video made me appreciate the Yoruichi design much more. A lot of BBS players were disappointed with her design. This video helps to understand the design perspective
For anyone who's interested, there's a channel called Pricilla Animes that's doing a 'Bleach in 2 minutes' series (basically cutting each episode of the anime down to twoish minutes). If you've seen Bink Bonk's Dragon Ball in about a minute series it's just like that, but for Bleach (that's worth checking out too if you haven't seen it).
I think we never saw Yoruichis Zanpaktou because she doesn't have one for her own and used the family Zanpaktou and left it in Soul Society and now her brother would use it.
i am a big yoruichi fan so i was really into this announcement, but the first moment i glance my eyes upon her i understood that it wasnt her zan, it was her family's
Hey MrTommo, what do you think about talking about the first 3 Bleach movies more in depth? you talked a good bit about Hell Verse for the Hell Chapters, and id love to see what you think of them and maybe how you rank them
I usually don’t really like these new forms (Kenpachi and Shinji are « overdesigned » imo ) but this yoruichi looks really good, if I didn’t know about her and someone told me that Yoruichi is a Shinigami fighting with her zanpakuto, I will believe this design is true. Thank you as always for covering Bleach Brave Souls sometimes because there are a lot of things to say behind these original characters !
All of the talk about the Five Noble Families really makes me wonder what all of them are responsible for. If we assume the Shihoin Family is responsible for heavenly objects/weapons and the Tsunayashiro Family is responsible for keeping the history of the Soul Society (as stated per CFYOW), I am curious what the Kuchiki Family are responsible for and surprised it isn't ever mentioned since there are quite prominent characters in the series from that particular Noble Family and CFYOW seemed like a perfect place to divulge that piece of lore. The Shiba Family, before their exile, is also another one with a lot of known characters and unknown role, but they _are_ responsible for the cannon that is used to transport people to the Soul King's Palace, so I always assumed their responsibility was something to do with that. And then as far as I know, we still don't know who the last of the original Five Noble Families is as they didn't show up to the meetings with the other heads present in Seireitei during CFYOW. Hopefully we will learn more about them eventually and perhaps there is a way to link them to the Hell Arc or another future Light Novel. 🤔
Yeah. I'm kinda suspicious about that last family now, since we're getting the Hell stuff and also the fact that Hell is a direct part of their reason to participate in the whole SK thing. It sounds like it could be some sort of whole mirror world down there, with everyone from captains to espada (and perhaps Quincies... depending on the logistics of when the "die and return to Yhwach" thing applied). Does that family rule over all of this? Was that what the line about the "warden of Hell" being omniscient was about?
Also one thing to note, Soi Fon's tagline is peak of happiness. Sounds ridiculous but remember that her Zanpakuto called her boring. Basically this form is her being completely attuned with Suzumebachi.
Yoruichi was one of the ones I wasn't really interested in getting, but I'm kinda glad I did, because while I don't use her much in game, she is kinda neat to have. And her special attack animation is really fun and graceful. I'm kinda hoping we get "beyond" versions of the Visored. (Rose, Love, Kensei, Lisa, Mashiro, Hiyori, and Hachigen)
Another thing is that we have seen her family crest on the device that Ukitake and Kyoraku used to destroy the Sokyoku which I believe may have been one of the devices that Yoshiro brought his sister. Also I love how Soi Fon was upgraded since she’s always preferred her Shikai and hated her bankai, it’s amazing and beautiful 😻
@@ryanvill5820 But rather than Soifon sneaking inside to perform a Nigeki Kessatsu or fire a missile which would pose a risk to Kisuke and Yoruichi, Soifon reveals her mastered bankai: a golden, black-accented sniper. Ever since the reveal of her hating her bankai and upon learning more about shinigami powers in the Thousand Year Blood War arc, through characters like Ichigo, Renji and Byakuya, I began to wonder: could Soifon's zanpakuto have given her a fake name, due to Soifon rejecting her own personality? *It was a really long post, so I just took the most relevant part of it for you to see.*
I think the theory makes sense. I’d probably go just a little bit further with it, with how Shinken Hakyouken means they cannot take up a zanpakuto, maybe Yoruichi’s clan wasn’t so different. Neither does her brother to my knowledge. I believe they might be using their Zanpakuto for something besides as a Shinigami, and maybe in return, they have access to the weapons. Not sure if the weapon which had a quantified tally of how many Zanpakuto’s power it has something to do with the matter, but if that does, it might make sense. Then because Yoruichi has never used her Zanpakuto, she is more used to fighting without any weapons.
Except Byakuya and Tokinada have both a clan zanpakutou and a personal one. The Ise clan are priest(esse)s, so it makes sense in their case to take up a ceremonial sword and not have a personal one used in battle. The Shihoin, being of the 5 great noble families, would probably be more like the others from that group that we know of. Plus, I'm pretty sure she's made a statement that she simply prefers not using it.
For a second i honestly thought you were going to say i apologize for this video being a video so that intro blew my expectations out of the water. Just took my antidepressants and woke up with a crick in my neck and a knot in my shoulder so i'm a bit negative right now and needed a laugh i guess.
@MrTommo2304 I had this idea a while back when I first watched the final battle between Aizen and Dango Ichigo when it aired. That there technically was an "Absolute Release" or "Transcendent Release" to a Shinigami's Zanpakuto beyond Shikai (Partial Release) and Bankai (Full Release). As Ichigo put it, during his battle, it was "The FINAL Getsuga Tensho." In other words, It's the final most mature stage a Zanpakuto can achieve, releasing all of its limiters and going 110% beyond what it is normally capable of. Essentially, Shinigami and Zanpakuto spirit briefly merging and becoming one. It's a great risk/great reward scenario.
I really like soi fon design pretty much exactly what you’d expect. I didn’t really like yourichi’s at first. Kinda felt like they’d do something with her cat form, but it has grown on me a bit and I’m starting to appreciate the look and I like the clog like sound her footware makes. It doesn’t hurt that she’s a godly unit either. I almost prefer her over Aizen for the most part. At least at the moment
If what happened in the manga is the rule, the people responsible for the serimonial weapons don't get a zampakuto, in which case that explains why she developed a unique technique for fighting.
Been watch all your videos and your the only person I come to watch for bleach. The other people aren’t as interesting or have the good picture quality. Don’t read the mange but I’m rewatching bleach for the 3rd time. You always say chads training and growth and downfall is repeated. I agree. What if since we got the hell arc, and his powers are “hellish names” for his left and right arm.. he is the power house for this arc to come. He finally shines on the last arc. “He only shines in hell” like his family may be the unknown family to resides over the keepers of hell type of thing. That’s why him and ichigo are great friends without knowing the true past of the great noble houses. What do you think?
Interesting note: In the game story it's been explained most recently that these new forms are made using an enhanced version of the puppet thing Ichigo used to train for Bankai. Anyway it makes the most sense that her Zanpakuto is something huge and heavy. Maybe even stationary in Bankai. It would be neat one day to see like the characters needing to break through something or something that, just like Shinji's Bankai in the novel, would be the one very specific instance her Zanpakuto would be useful so we can at least see the damn thing lol.
When I first read it, it made me think of the items Ukitake and Shunsui showed up with to destroy the sokyoku. It could be the thing Urahara uses to get into the palace (after all, he was hinted to have either seen or visited the palace in the past). It also makes me wonder how Tokinada got in to steal Ikomikidomoe - does every noble family have a way to access the palace? It would make sense, and this would be the second we've seen, with the first being the Shiba family's cannon, IIRC). The other option is that the items are whatever Yoruichi uses to seal Mimihagi in as a SK replacement. I know it's because the (however many) defensive barriers to the palace are down at the time, but it's kinda funny how the palace is portrayed as completely inaccessible, then as soon as the plot requires it, every noble family and their dog has a way of conveniently getting there. Even the Fullbringers were able to do it with their powers, which is probably the funniest one since they literally appear right in the throne room of the Soul King...
What if, Yoruichi's zanpakuto power is actually a ceremonial garb? The reason for Yoruichi said, it is cumbersome to use her own zanpakuto is going to make sense since it is limiting her actions.
This version of Yoruichi is my favorite, She's so beautiful, also my favorite female character in Bleach, maybe my favorite female character from any mangas.... So Strong, Nice, Funny, Not ball-breakin' and Crying one. She's a 5 stars F. Character
Honestly, considering it was the royal families that imprisoned the Soul King, it would make sense for each of those families to have heirloom weapons passed down that are specially designed to face off against some aspect of the Soul King's powers. Had they established that earlier on when it became apparent that Yhwatch broke into the palace or before, Nanao's situation probably would've been better accepted, as well as Yuruichi's. Like they could've just made Yuruichi's power one that is so specifically designed to counter the Soul King, that it's otherwise useless, like if it only allowed the user to escape from the sight of the Almighty, in Bankai, and Shikai actually blinded the user, and they worked together so that they could only use Bankai for as long as they were in Shikai. That'd make sense for why Yuruichi'd never use her zanpakuto. I love the idea of inherited zanpakuto/ritual weapons. I think having stuff like this would've really helped with both world building how the Soul King was originally defeated and also why certain characters are or fight they way they do. It'd also give some characters ample reason and opportunity to master and utilize skills that can only be achieved by abandoning your zanpakuto or avoiding using it altogether, like Yuruichi's cat form etc
Soi Fon's outfit reminds me more of that filler zanpaktou arc design of her zanpaktou released to a more human form. Literally huge stinger arm speedy hornet so if these forms really are fusion based, in a way, she has actually become her zanpaktou design wise
As far as we can theorize her zanpakuto is at least lightning element as far as name, ability and conept is up for brainstorming. My guess its similar to soifon the ability is connected to her shunpo or stealth corp training as well as hakudo theme wise id say heavenly or hell even cat motive since a lot of cat of nekomata simbolism is mainly focused on her. Her behavior, her cat form and even her lightning cat form kisuke made her use so id they do reveal her zanpakuto id make sense this would be the thought process.
imma say this bout soi fons "beyond bankai" it looks REALLY similar to the zanpakutou spirit she had in the non cannon zanpakutou spirit arc of bleach.
For Yoruichi I think I would have gone down a different path, and a different form of assassination, that of the drone, basically she would have to ability to create a number of drones (and can make more as they are taken out), the drones would have been hornet like and have two attacks, each having "two hit kills" that they could all exploit, and the ability to fire smaller cero-like blast that while not strong, the can fire to and from mulitple directions and add up. As for the package that Yusudo delivers, it was probably Yoruichi's Zanpakuto, which got ignored because Karbo was running out of time and cut things short.
I still think she should stay on hand to hand combat or maybe with something like a rod or wooden sword that just helps her with that type of fighting.
Soi Fon's Shikai used to be one of my favorites before Aizen/Kubo dropped the "no, cause reiatsu" rule. But even without the bs ability canceling, if she stabs someone in the throat, they just get a little mark instead of a destroyed neck?
Probably depends on her intent, but thinking about it a bit.. if there was someone who was fast enough that she only had time to hit them once, they're probably strong enough that the single neck strike that would kill regular people wouldn't be enough, requiring her to hit them again in that spot later for the instakill
I mean, that was always sort of a thing. Kenpachi vs Ichigo was based on the idea. Ichigo couldn't cut Ken at all because he didn't understand how reiatsu worked. Sure, the Aizen thing was a way more overt version of it, but it was affirming a point that was always there.
@@LupineShadowOmega Even Yammy cancelled Orihime's godlike ability to reject causality and just negged her main offensive attack, and Ulquiorra did the same to her healing effect without actively trying
Ngl, I think soifons beyond bankai would have been alot cooler if it was like her bankai, but compressed and scaled down(a little like ichigos bankai). She could have had a sniper rifle, which shot bullets that was the same power as her bankai bazooka. Would have fit really well with the assassin theme too
Apologies once again for being a bit late on this on but let me know what you think of Yoruichi and Soi Fon's exciting new looks! Who do you prefer, and how do you feel about the choice to go with Yoruichi's noble attire?
I honestly prefer Yoruichi's old design given it's sheer practicality and representation of her removing herself from Soul Society and it's stifling/dangerous nobility. Simple yet modern, stealthy yet casual.
Hey this video was great. Thank you for the character favorites poll being made ur primary focus though as I was really anticipating those results! woot woot go kenpachi and urahara!
I like Yoruichi's noble attire but Soi Fon's really nails everything about her. I would love for this form to be like a mode-switch for her Bankai, like she can change between the stationary big nuke and this form.
Do you think Kubo will ever reveal the real Bankai forms of certain characters?
Like Soifon's lethal hornet theme. Yoruichi's is regal and fits with her status as a noble, even if canon wise she never was comfortable with or liked the status at all. Pretty great take for them overall.
I know it's not officially canon but that could be one reason why she doesn't like using her Bankai in canon if they are related
Something interesting to note. Most of the beyond bankai seem to look near identical to that characters from the zanpakuto filler arc
Yep, i love it
If I remember correctly, Kubo designed the Zanpaktou spirits for that arc.
@@noobstoise1024 yeah he did. I heard something about the anime didn't want to do that arc without Kubo designing the spirits. Since they didn't want to go against anything kubo wanted to do himself
Despite that they too were designed by Kubo

Well unless it would make her more agile and fast - that would make no difference from her Shikai.
I think that is her sword...would explain why it didn't fit her style she seemed like she hated being a princess. So since she was royalty her shikai and bankai took on royal aspects.
💓
That would explain a lot that’s some good head cannon
"And I was a bit consumed by elden ring"
So dramatically delivered that line lol

@@mastertucker hopefully they do
I would love to see the rest of your drawings for what the captains merged with their banksia would be.

Soi fons is a direct reference to the Zanpakto filler arc. The big arm of her Shikai is taken from her zanpakto spirit in that arc.
Good observation!
Soi Fon’s is better from a design standpoint. Yuruichi’s looks like a seasonal design.
I’m 100% sure they just repurposed a seasonal design because nobody could think of a beyond bankai for her
@@hatefulgaming1800 Yeah, it’s got heavy spirit Society vibes. They could’ve done better with Yuruichi’s for sure.
@@CaptainKotetsu to be fair they didn't have much to go on and its not like they have the authority to make a zanpakuto for her, so they did the best they could
Best channel for Bleach content hands down 🙏
I really hope the anime will give us some more info and maybe they could reveal Yoruichi's bankai!
Agreed. If noth the hell arc may cover it, she'll definitely need it given hell's forces have proven themselves dangerous.
@@manuelacosta9463 Yeah I'm really far more interested in a Hell arc instead of Burn the Witch!
@@ShippuuNarutowell we’re getting it all hopefully and apparently so. Bleach has been doing amazing.

I just want to say, I would love for you to do a video based on the fused captain concepts you came up with. That would be amazing.
Honestly Soi Fon looks like she has a lot design elements of her sword spirit
Soi Fon looks pretty much like her take or version of her spirit in the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc. If I remember correctly it had the giant stinger on the arm too. Interesting like you said that they gave out of all the shinigami in the series Yoroichi one
Your video made me appreciate the Yoruichi design much more. A lot of BBS players were disappointed with her design. This video helps to understand the design perspective
0:44- I’ve always imagined Yoruichi’s Bankai to be an elegant looking one that contrasts her usual tomboyish nature.
Yoroichi beautifully designed.
Looking forward to seeing even more of these beyond bankai designs.
💓
Soi Fon doubles down on lethal, practical hornet... Except for the cat ears. Always a simp for Yorouichi. Relatable content.
You bring up a good point, curious if this is hinting at what Yoruichi's Zanpakuto powers at least looks like

I like that idea. It ties into nanao and her having more of a clan zanpakuto rather then an individual zanpakuto.
Nah, in the novel she just said she doesn't use it but talks to her spirit everyday
@@jocoolshow ah ok haven't read the novel yet. That could be built into a new way of using one though.

Soi Fong is a Boss and Yoruichi is a Queen! Also I’ve noticed something….. They’re saving Toshiro for last, aren’t they?

Lmao! Soy phone!!! 😂😂😂
Am we able to see the series of drawings you did of the "3rd forms"? I'd love to be able to see your interpretations!

I was really upset never getting to see Ukitake's Bankai, he was always one of my favorite characters in Bleach
If what happened in the manga is the rule, the people responsible for the serimonial weapons don't get a zampakuto, in which case that explains why she developed a unique technique for fighting.
Been watch all your videos and your the only person I come to watch for bleach. The other people aren’t as interesting or have the good picture quality. Don’t read the mange but I’m rewatching bleach for the 3rd time. You always say chads training and growth and downfall is repeated. I agree. What if since we got the hell arc, and his powers are “hellish names” for his left and right arm.. he is the power house for this arc to come. He finally shines on the last arc. “He only shines in hell” like his family may be the unknown family to resides over the keepers of hell type of thing. That’s why him and ichigo are great friends without knowing the true past of the great noble houses. What do you think?
Interesting note: In the game story it's been explained most recently that these new forms are made using an enhanced version of the puppet thing Ichigo used to train for Bankai.
Anyway it makes the most sense that her Zanpakuto is something huge and heavy. Maybe even stationary in Bankai. It would be neat one day to see like the characters needing to break through something or something that, just like Shinji's Bankai in the novel, would be the one very specific instance her Zanpakuto would be useful so we can at least see the damn thing lol.
When I first read it, it made me think of the items Ukitake and Shunsui showed up with to destroy the sokyoku. It could be the thing Urahara uses to get into the palace (after all, he was hinted to have either seen or visited the palace in the past). It also makes me wonder how Tokinada got in to steal Ikomikidomoe - does every noble family have a way to access the palace? It would make sense, and this would be the second we've seen, with the first being the Shiba family's cannon, IIRC). The other option is that the items are whatever Yoruichi uses to seal Mimihagi in as a SK replacement. I know it's because the (however many) defensive barriers to the palace are down at the time, but it's kinda funny how the palace is portrayed as completely inaccessible, then as soon as the plot requires it, every noble family and their dog has a way of conveniently getting there. Even the Fullbringers were able to do it with their powers, which is probably the funniest one since they literally appear right in the throne room of the Soul King...
Glad to hear you’ve been as enamored by Elden Ring as I have 😂
Soifons beyond bankai looks like her zanpakuto spirit in the zanpakuto filler arc.
What if, Yoruichi's zanpakuto power is actually a ceremonial garb? The reason for Yoruichi said, it is cumbersome to use her own zanpakuto is going to make sense since it is limiting her actions.
A nice detail: Soi-Fon seems to have ears of a cat. If you know you know ; )
This version of Yoruichi is my favorite, She's so beautiful, also my favorite female character in Bleach, maybe my favorite female character from any mangas.... So Strong, Nice, Funny, Not ball-breakin' and Crying one. She's a 5 stars F. Character
Honestly, considering it was the royal families that imprisoned the Soul King, it would make sense for each of those families to have heirloom weapons passed down that are specially designed to face off against some aspect of the Soul King's powers. Had they established that earlier on when it became apparent that Yhwatch broke into the palace or before, Nanao's situation probably would've been better accepted, as well as Yuruichi's. Like they could've just made Yuruichi's power one that is so specifically designed to counter the Soul King, that it's otherwise useless, like if it only allowed the user to escape from the sight of the Almighty, in Bankai, and Shikai actually blinded the user, and they worked together so that they could only use Bankai for as long as they were in Shikai. That'd make sense for why Yuruichi'd never use her zanpakuto. I love the idea of inherited zanpakuto/ritual weapons. I think having stuff like this would've really helped with both world building how the Soul King was originally defeated and also why certain characters are or fight they way they do. It'd also give some characters ample reason and opportunity to master and utilize skills that can only be achieved by abandoning your zanpakuto or avoiding using it altogether, like Yuruichi's cat form etc
Oooh they look great
AAAAAHHHHH YAAAASSSSS!!!!!! I was waiting for you to release a video on this. Thank you 🙏 you honestly never disappoint 😝💅💅💃💃💃
Yo thanks for the heart on the community post
Soi Fon's outfit reminds me more of that filler zanpaktou arc design of her zanpaktou released to a more human form.
Literally huge stinger arm speedy hornet so if these forms really are fusion based, in a way, she has actually become her zanpaktou design wise
That hollow ichigo Funko pop is worth like $300 USD if you still have the box
As far as we can theorize her zanpakuto is at least lightning element as far as name, ability and conept is up for brainstorming. My guess its similar to soifon the ability is connected to her shunpo or stealth corp training as well as hakudo theme wise id say heavenly or hell even cat motive since a lot of cat of nekomata simbolism is mainly focused on her. Her behavior, her cat form and even her lightning cat form kisuke made her use so id they do reveal her zanpakuto id make sense this would be the thought process.
Imagine if Yoroichi doesn't use her zanpactou because it slows her down.
She would just have the same problem as Soi Fon with her Bankai.
Soifon looks like a fusion between her own zanpakto
imma say this bout soi fons "beyond bankai" it looks REALLY similar to the zanpakutou spirit she had in the non cannon zanpakutou spirit arc of bleach.
Soifons is pretty cool
I mean apparently her lineage is powerful as it said “defenders of the realm”. I wonder if they’ll touch on that more .
Did you play through the limited story for these forms? It's part 4, and it is partly explained what these new forms are.
I just noticed you get a holographic card effect in the loading screen when you're trying them out.
Was that always there?
For Yoruichi I think I would have gone down a different path, and a different form of assassination, that of the drone, basically she would have to ability to create a number of drones (and can make more as they are taken out), the drones would have been hornet like and have two attacks, each having "two hit kills" that they could all exploit, and the ability to fire smaller cero-like blast that while not strong, the can fire to and from mulitple directions and add up.
As for the package that Yusudo delivers, it was probably Yoruichi's Zanpakuto, which got ignored because Karbo was running out of time and cut things short.
It could've been her zanpakuto, but that's an awfully big package for a sword haha Unless it's not a traditional blade of course.
I’m here for an actual new video
I got to say SAFWY Yoruichi is fun to use. She uses light
I got beyond Bankai yoruichi first try and I am also new
I still think she should stay on hand to hand combat or maybe with something like a rod or wooden sword that just helps her with that type of fighting.
Soi Fon's Shikai used to be one of my favorites before Aizen/Kubo dropped the "no, cause reiatsu" rule. But even without the bs ability canceling, if she stabs someone in the throat, they just get a little mark instead of a destroyed neck?
Probably depends on her intent, but thinking about it a bit.. if there was someone who was fast enough that she only had time to hit them once, they're probably strong enough that the single neck strike that would kill regular people wouldn't be enough, requiring her to hit them again in that spot later for the instakill
I mean, that was always sort of a thing. Kenpachi vs Ichigo was based on the idea. Ichigo couldn't cut Ken at all because he didn't understand how reiatsu worked. Sure, the Aizen thing was a way more overt version of it, but it was affirming a point that was always there.
@@LupineShadowOmega Even Yammy cancelled Orihime's godlike ability to reject causality and just negged her main offensive attack, and Ulquiorra did the same to her healing effect without actively trying
@@jocoolshow Also true. I had actually forgot about those and that makes it way worse.
Interesting to point out that Soi Fon's form reminds me of the Goldspear Lance, Ahtal-Ka weapon, from Monster Hunter GU.
Ngl, I think soifons beyond bankai would have been alot cooler if it was like her bankai, but compressed and scaled down(a little like ichigos bankai).
She could have had a sniper rifle, which shot bullets that was the same power as her bankai bazooka. Would have fit really well with the assassin theme too
This would be epic if we could get this in manga form, should Kubo decide to continue the series!
Soi fon looks like her zanpakuto spirit from the anime
Hey Tommo, do u have a discord server?
So in a way Ichigo was a "human" who attained 'beyond bankai' from learning about it from Isshin and Zangetsu
I mean, Soi Fon's new appearance also looks a lot like her Zanpakuto spirit from the anime.
Just surprised it wasn't even mentioned.
You're right - I completely forgot about it to be honest.
Probably one of the BADDEST black beauties in fiction😩
Yoruichi has my new favorite form for this series of beyond bankai! She is first then Unohana close second and Kyoraku third.
Soi Fon looks almost exactly like her Zanpakuto spirit but human sized...LOL
WHERE CAN WE SEE MORE OF YOUR FANARTS FROM BEFORE? I need to see your gotei 13 version of this
I sadly didn’t start playing until after she came out but I hope I can pull her. Also I wanted her tag team with soifon
Does no one else see she looks like her Zampakuto when it took on physical form I. The Zampakuto arc?
Could you talk about Rudbornn Chelute?
I thought her Zanpakto will be a hereditary one since she's from a known noble clan.
