It is also important that as the battle goes on, Kenpachi begins to use both hands
no that's just a fuck up they keep doing because if you go back to the kenapchi v kenpachi fight he does it there to. he never uses 2 hands unless absolutely necessary and it always results in the massive energy wave except in the this fight and loyd fight
He had to resort to his ultimate technique: using his other hand
Wow I never aware about that
@@frankcasamento74 pretty sure he just had to use 2 after she mocks him for it lol. They had so much respect for eachother. Omg the deaths in this show are tear jerking so far tbh very awesome. And her bankai was amazing.
I also have that problem when I first wake up in the morning and point muramasa at the toilet with both hands
The becoming skeleton is a metaphor to what Kenpachi has become by limiting himself. As you can see, he was only half a skeleton. While Unohana is a full skeleton. Symbolizing that Unohana is fighting with her all to the death and to kill. While Kenpachi is just half-assing to get that high he felt in the past. When Unohana is reflected in his exposed eye, he finally understands what he has been doing all along.
Symbolism can be very subjective we still don't know for sure why they looked like skeletons
But then why is Unohana also resembling a skeleton? She hasn't limited herself. It would seem more likely the skeleton metaphor for whatever it is he is becoming and Unohana is already at that point.
to sum it up is you have to be death bringer inincarcerated without holding one self back in humanist view in limited you're self
@@D-Havoc that was his point. Unohana was fully a being of death. Zaraki was holding back
interesting take. It makes sense this way i think
From watching the anime Unohanas Bankai is pretty simple to understand.. it creates this blood area and Unohana can use the blood to attack and whenever the opponent is cut Unohana is healed in return.
I do believe that the "melting away" part is just meant to be a visual metaphor.
I'm still debating whether the melting part is just a metaphor or not now tbh, but glad to see all the details otherwise
I agree with that since that basic understanding of it unfortunate wishing we could see more of what it do since Yamamoto bankai was redfined I'm thinking same would imply for her
@@66coldnight I think I understand what you mean.. but you really should make more use of punctuation.
@@66coldnight ...what?
It also enhanced her reach greatly. And I'm not sure the blood is metaphorical, it might actual burn and melt others
I always took it that Unohana was more on autopilot just mindlessly moving through her days. Which is why she never noticed the bodies until it was pointed out.
Unohana's Shikai summons the creature to store opponents in its stomach to heal them and basically save them for future battles, while her Bankai makes the arena itself the stomach, where the stomach fluids heal Unohana (and her opponent if she so chooses I guess), prolonging the battle in the present.
I like this theory, so I choose to belive thats what happened
One of my favorite moments that I didn't catch the first time was that, Unohana does this stance where she starts walking to the side before rushing in with a kind of swerving blitz attack. Zaraki does the exact same thing later on, which seems to confirm that he's not just getting stronger, he's becoming more skilled and is learning Unohana's combat style.
He also ends up giving her a face slash that is similar to the one she initially gave to him. He was definitely learning from this "zanjutsu lesson"
I liked Oetsu pushing Ichigo to seek his heritage in order to help him reforge his Zanpakuto. Ichigo needs to give it his all at this point. Oetsu's famous eccentricity was perfectly brought to animation, even if he and the rest of Squad Zero got worfed I can't wait to see him in battle, despite his silliness he's one of the most realistically practical warriors in the series. No apologies, excuses or pretenses of honor just the quick kill.
The fight was honestly whatever to me. Zaraki and Unohana are just characters I don't love as much as everyone else. For me the Oetsu part was the best of this episode. The fight was still good like a 8/10 but yeah my opinion
@@Mystra ah, the classic contrarian. What other opinions do you have? What are your thoughts on evangelion? Lol
I don’t like that people thought the Zero Squad was weak when they went against an OP villain, in all honesty was busted. Hard to look incredibly strong when you’re up against a mountain.
I want to rant about M, but he was seriously busted.
and they had to deal with more than just the brokeness than was the x axis oh yeah I am immune to kido and swords blades, mr I can restore anything you do to me and be even stronger
but yeah I love the whole you do not know yourself so how can you express it, so go back to your roots and learn who you are and then maybe you will be able to imprint yourself onto the blade
Shunsui is similair in that regard actually.
This was the coolest fight for Bleach fans, we've waited 12 years for this and it did not disappoint MINAZUKI
I like how this moment in the series totally recontextualizes the whole "undead" thing... People kinda assumed the undead association was tied to the "imortal" aspect of kenpachi, but after this revealation we can also assume that zaraki is associated with the "undead" bc until this moment he lacked in emotional drive when in combat like a zombie, he knows he loves battle but he tricks himself when he think hes enjoying the battles he had until this moment as he uncaringly slumbers to combat... Hes like someone who never Actually chalenges himself while doing something he likes, satisfied with never Actually giving his all...
kubo stated yachiru is kenpachi's banki, and his shika is a grown woman kind of like ichigo's zengatsu sword spirit, glad the anime taken the note of it and make a grown woman voiced it, and kenpachi gave yachiru the name of a soul reaper by mistake, that is why yachiru was taken the form of a soul reaper and his bankai is nameless since kenpachi gave her the wrong name
Everyone was always like how does yachiru do what she does. Then you see nimaiya with his honeys, and he tells you they are all swords
My personal take is that Kenpachi's Bankai will receive a name when mastered. And personally my hope is well...
"Ban-kai! Yachiru Nozarashi!"
@@tristanalain9239 I like it but he has a call out like most. With his shikai it's"Drink Nozarashi" so it's gotta combine both. Like make "Drown Yachiru Nozarashi" or something of that nature. The (Drink) part refers to the battle field of death and drinking the blood of the enemies. So his Bankai has to refer to that times 100. Not to mention he turns into a literal demon oni.
@@outamym1nd695 "Guide me" or "Direct me" would also be good, if not lol choices.
It calls back to Yachiru trying to guide Kenpachi in the Soul Society arc, and the fact she seems to be guiding his Beserker Oni-form Bankai
@@tristanalain9239 ehhh not so much for me. All sword want their wielders to know their names. That's all it is. Yachiru is Kenpachis special situation. Remember the arc where all swords came out into human forms. Yachiru has been out this whole time. I believe that arc was Kubo's way of setting things up here
I have been waiting on this. I can’t wait to discuss unohana bankai I remember when I was a teenager. I was so confused, but thankfully due to the animation, I understand it better now my theory is that her bankai instead of creating the monster, she directly applies the stomach acid into a physical domain which amplifies healing abilities to the max she can also use the acids as an extension of her blade I also have a theory that she can actually apply the healing properties only to herself, but due to her love for the eternal battle she lets her enemies get healed as well. What do y’all think?
Still didn’t get explained, but hey.
I think this theory that everyone has been talking about is wrong because it is never shown to have properties acid. What we see is that she can control it for attacks and when she was injured her blood returned and closed the wound. From all that I think is that she is a bloodbender when she activates it.
That's practically the only way it makes sense given rules about Shikai and Bankai abilities. I remember theorizing that part where it was inside the manta ray thing, but now I have more confirmation that Kenpachi's whole skeletal vision was meant to be figurative of "dying" and getting stronger, not Unohana's Bankai melting them to the bone like I originally speculated
@@nickp3065 The problem is that would contradict general rules about Zanpakutou abilities. The Bankai still has to be related in some way, albeit Kisuke's Bankai stretches the rules itself relative to what we see with his Shikai.
The blood is most likely the same type of blood that is inside the hell blood pool of tenjiro palace. Unohana has studied healing kido under him, and it has similar effects (removing and refilling blood and reatsu) and the acid effect it's probably the after effect of super speed healing that ruptures the body like the healing pool
My guess is is that after the Rukongai, it would be a "No Man's Land" of sorts where it's just a lawless, unsupervised area.
This area would bridge the gap between Soul Society East and West.
Or maybe it's just an ocean beyond Rukongai lol
Who else was bricked up when unohana said farewell to the only man that brought me joy. Then kenpachi ran her through with a blade. Then she said that was wonderful
I mean it makes sense, Kido is the term for all Soul Reaper spells.
Hado is the offensive Kido, with all the spells focused on dealing damage.
Bakudo is the support Kido, with barriers, sealings and the like.
And Kaido is the healing Kido, with all the spells focusing on restoring the body.
Yeah too bad we got fucking nothing on the kido division
@@gstvntt True, Bleach was amazing, but it was sadly lacking in worldbuilding.
Said this before on Twitter, but the next 3 Episodes of Bleach: The Thousand Year Blood War has the potential to surpass not just the anime, but even the source material itself. EVERYTHING BUT THE RAIN is to put it succinctly: THE MOST IMPORTANT MINI ARC IN THE ENTIRETY OF BLEACH, as well as possibly the greatest flashback arc in the history of the medium. The anime team has already confirmed that Episodes 12 and 13 will be an hour long back to back premiere the day after Christmas, signaling the end to the 1st cour. This is important because Taguchi (BLEACH Director) clearly knows the sheer weight of the next 3 episodes and how it will affect the series from here on out. Unohana fans, rejoice, we have had our moment in the sun, but with the death of our beloved Captain, it is time for the sun to fade, for the clouds to form, and for the rains to drop once again.
And to think in another universe, Ichigo might've been Uryuu given the whole arrangement of his mom and Ryuuken, iirc
Keep the expectations in check we don't want another book burning if people's hopes get crushed for what they wanted the ending to be.
Honestly, out of all the Bankai we get to see that aren't explained by a character, i think Unohana's is the most straighforward. It creates a bloody liquid that can both heal Unohana, and melt away wahatever the liquid touches (including herself). It probably is a sort of acid, considering her Shikai heals people inside its own stomach (pressumably using "stomach acid"). I think that is also one of the reasons she learned Kaido, if her Bankai runs risk of even killing her, she would want to find a way to extend the time that she can use it, so in another interpretation, the healing that we see may just be her own Kaido and not an effect of the bankai, as her bankai is probably also literally melting her own body away.
Also, Kenpachi's comment about "I am melting" can have multiple meanings, it can be that he is literally melting due to Unohana's bankai, but also metaphorically melting away his restraints. I mean that is how Kubo writes a lot of things sometimes, it has both a literal and metaphorical meaning...
Also, your question about "Whats beyond the Rukongai ?". Was that not essentially answered in Kubo's "Burn The Witch" ? Beyond the rukongai you eventually reach other sections of soul society such as the "Soul Society West Branch" that we see in Burn The Witch.
To be blunt, the "blood" that's on the ground and surrounding the battlefield doesn't appear to inherently damage either Unohana nor Kenpachi. In fact we get a good indicator that it's still healing in nature, but rapidly from when Kenpachi cuts her across her chest the mist around them healed her. The "blood" does also seem to be capable of "cutting" when congealed for her sword blade or her flinging them as makeshift projectiles (very reminiscent to the daggers she used earlier). But I don't disagree that the melting is metaphorical. There's just not much to support that it literal given that they've been standing in the pool of blood with no damage to themselves nor the prior damage Kenpachi took when hit by her blood attacks.
the question "who is more importend the blade or the soulreaper" reminded me of the first fight ichigo had with white ichigo where he asked "what is the difference between a king and its horse"
Probably the soul reaper since the zanpakto wouldn’t exist without there reitsu.
This is such a awesome episode and the post credit scene got me hyped because next week we get my favorite span of chapters in the manga Everything But The Rain
@Tekking101 The stuff you heard about the eight Kenpachi. He has some very broken abilities, but also some very exploitable weaknesses. He's weak to any character that can absorb Reiatsu. Any Quincy could defeat him and Yumichika would defeat him with his Shikai. His physical stats are also very low. If he battled Yuzu in a fist fight, Yuzu would probably win. The more important thing about him is his characterization, which was exceptionally done.
Ok his phsical stats are not that weak. He is just a mage rather then a swordsman. His strongest attack is his shikai, which is basically a mugetsu.
Kenpachi bouncing off Unohana and skidding across the ground was the funniest shit.
Everything But The Rain *Has* to be the Magnum Opus of Bleach. If it is, it could be one of key factors towards opening the way to the CFYOW LN's being adapted as well as the possible Hell Arc.
Can't wait for 2 weeks from now for that HOUR LONG special... Hope we get to see the Bambies in the last 10mins 👀.
7:00 we need to remember theres another Soul Society for witches as established in Burn The Witch. So Rukon might just be where OUR soul society has jurisdiction over
Azashiro isn't the strongest of all time but he was extremely broken. He's in a constant bankai state, always followed by his sword spirit that kind of tortures him, and his ability is to merge with everything even the air and soul society itself. We don't know if he could defeat Aizen, Aizen had just stated that kioka suigetsu wouldn't work on him. He lost to Zaraki because when he tried to merge with him and defeat him from the inside out Zarakis reiatsu burned him and caused intolerable pain. Azashiro might be one of my favorite characters in the story he's so fucking sick and his backstory is awesome. Hope he gets brought back in the hell arc.
I hope Ichigo's new bankai isn't a massive disappointment for the sake of subversion.
But it wasn't for the sake of subversion. And from how Kubo explained the deal with Ichigo's sword thereafter in his Klub Outside interview, we likely won't see a difference in what will happen to it.
*spoilers* His new bankai is never shown!
Okay, Minazuki.
The way her shikai was initially explained, its only power is that its stomach acid can heal people. But we know she wasn't always that kind of character. I find it more likely that her power was originally acid and that when she learned from Tenjirō she integrated, modified, or whatever into her Zanpakutō the power of healing. The melting in her fight against Zaraki, in this case, seems more like her letting up the healing momentarily, their bodies actually melting down, and them being kept alive by Unohana's healing.
I also think that Zaraki was screaming when Unohana first activates Bankai because he starts feeling his skin and muscles start bubbling and melting away in response. We don't see it because it's generally hard to depict such a thing visually, and it's Zaraki, so he can probably resist the melting with just his body and Reiatsu anyway.
The blood is pretty similar to the hell blood pool from tenjiro palace and it's likely that the acid effect is the after effect of the super speed healing that ruptures the body the same way the healing water from tenjiro palace has on regular people
Hearing you say “in runescape terms” while I play OSRS listening to this just hits different 😂
As someone who only recently read these chapters in the manga, this fight was immaculately done imo
I think it makes sense to have Kenpachi and Unohana, and Ichigo share screentime for their personal journey, since Kenpachi and Ichigo are on similar paths of self-discovery. Kenpachi needed to reawaken his true power and accept it, while Ichigo needs to understand his power and accept it as well.
But there is something that confuses me, which is the Sokyoku, as it's supposed to be more powerful than a million zanpakuto and is just used for execution. And it's a bit overkill and underkill for that purpose too, as anyone can kill a soul reaper and Ichigo was temporarily able to block it with his shikai back in the Soul Society arc. Did the Sokyoku have a greater purpose before being an execution weapon? Was it mean to be a superweapon against Yhwach? Did Oetsu create it and then realized it was too much for any soul reaper to use, so it got relegated to a different purpose?
Soukyoku is excution tool for criminal shinigami, Ichigo manage to block bcs Ichigo is strong but after SS arc Ichigo power is nerfed bcs combat pass
My favorite moment was ichigo getting fired from soul society and renji having to carry now
7:20, in flashback of og gotei Unohana already have scar, so Unohana vs Zaraki must be more then 1000 years before(or animators just made a mistake).
Everything but the rain has always been my favorite bleach chapter and chapter title..... cant wait for the episode
Unohanas reaction to the bodies reminded me of the abridged aizen saying "oh no, how did that dead body get there ?"
58:50 So it's like this analogy:
An Asauchi is a blank canvas while a Soul Reaper is the artist.
After lots of practice, the artist manages to make the canvas truly reflect themselves (forming a Zanpakuto/Shikai). The same process for Bankai.
In Ichigo's case, he had no canvas to begin with, all he had at the time were paint and tools. He had been painting in the dark and is not clear about his true nature.
So he needs to go on somewhat of a soul-searching journey and only then will he be able to create a new artwork.
Unohana vs Kenpachi. It is interesting how strong Kenpachi is because he defeated Unohana at her BANKAI while Kenpachi is at his base form
Not really unohana deliberately lose to unlock zaraki power, if unohana really intended to kill zaraki, zaraki won't survive unless zaraki reawakened nozarashi
Unohana was trained by Cringey, my theory is her bankai is the same as his ‘blood pool’
That’s why it’s activated with her blood and can get hot enough to melt shinigami
Tekking, if you were still wondering why the Quincy didn’t attack squad 4 during the first invasion, I think we know why now. If you were a Quincy would you want to fight her? Because I’m not kicking that hornets nest.
I don't know, I feel like Gerard or Pernida would happily take her on
@@corruptangel6793 Gerard yes, but pernida? I don’t think pernida would enjoy throwing it’s nerves at someone with acid powers.
@@roxasvanitas1 good point lol
@@roxasvanitas1 I doubt that is the full range of Pernida's abilities, the creature was literally evolving the entirety of those fights, you have no idea what would happen.
@@gangstagummybear3432 pernida doesn’t evolve in a vacuum, it has to attack someone first. It gained higher strength and speed after attacking Kenpachi, intelligence after attacking mayuri, and the ability to shed its skin after attacking mayuri’s bankai. Unless pernida fights some strong characters beforehand, it’s just going to be throwing its nerves at Unohana, who has an acid bankai.
I always thought that Unohana didn't notice the massive pile of bodies just because she was bored😂
This episode was so incredible!! I love Ms. Unohana
I love the pacing, its like they trimmed all the fat and get to where we need to go right away
Peace and wholeness fam
Cap Yamamato was thinking long range. he told her to stay put and not to help anyone, He knew Unohana needed to live so she can heal all the injured. Also to stay alive so she can Teach Kenpachi that he needs to step it the fuck up. He even made Unohana keep his second in fucking command in the barracks with her so She wont be tempted to kill everyone if her Lieutenant got hurt or killed. He also knew Shunsui needed to be the man in charge after his death, he prepped him to be the next Leader of the gotei 13 and he wasnt shocked it was expected no matter how much his lazy ass didnt want to do that shit. Alot of 3 dimensional Chess being played by the King of Hell Captain Yamamoto.
Oetsu's introduction was great and they really need to sell those sunglasses as merch.
With Gyutaro and Power, Unohana is the third goated anime character this year who uses blood as a weapon. 😁
The fight of the Kenpachi's was really something else. One of the best in a while for sure - and so meaningful for both characters.
I loved the why that the fight was animated and also how they actually showed how she used minazuki.
Definitely has to be her Shikai is more focused on healing others. Bankai is focused on healing herself, as for the blood around her I think it could be like how Old man Yama's Bankai contained the people he has killed. Unahana's is probably filled with the blood of every person she's killed. All being used to heal her own wounds/be used offensively, just to make it even more metal.
Unohana's Bankai made me think of Domain Expansion in Jujutsu Kaisen
A lot of people when the manga came out were thinking That Unohana burning Zaraki to the bone was metaphorical. I don't think so lol Unchana heals Zaraki the entire fight. It still isn't clear to me
8th kenpachi uses no-clip and other hacks but he lacks the true fighting spirit of a kenpachi
Her Bankai is just a upgrade on Martial Art basis style of her, so she can keep fighting and enjoying it. It just upgrades everthing about her
Unohanas shikai is an ambulance 🚑
Unohanas bankai is a hearse 💀
"Unohana, Blade of Mikela" Half of this episode Kenpachi was just playing his first Dark Souls boss.
I can't wait to see the flashback.
The fight was great but wish it was the whole episode and they moved Ichigo and renji to the next part instead. But I'm I they expanded on how the bankai worked and gave more dialogue
Also Kon talking is always a plus.
Yeah, I wish they could’ve gave me a Narration for the explanation of her bankai maybe he’s saving it for the hell arc
@@thedancevalley2920 yeah and hopefully that's when Kubo doesn't chicken out and give us a real blood war. Not a paper cut war
7:18 I can see the contradiction, I wonder if anyone else picked it up. But Unohana had the scar in the flashback of 1000 years ago. Yet the scar now only got inflicted a few 100 years ago... They had 10 years to prepare and still left the 1 mistake in.
I was thinking the same thing, but upon rewatching the flashback, I think the mistake may lay with the fans. That tiny mark might not actually be the scar like people think, it might just be shadowing. Everyone just assumed it was the scar because it's in roughly the right spot and similar in shape.
@Corrupt Angel well it's not just the flashback but the end credit image of her have the mark. We also get a clear sight of the mark and it looks exactly like her scar. Also the only mark that Unohana is the scar as Kenpachi was the only one to hurt her.
this really bring back memories when you breakdown the manga really miss that time
Part 2 comes in April. So we'll have a big gap
Such an awesomely done flow from the flashback to the fight with the most impactful strikes especially Unohana unreleasing her bankai Minazuki that looked so dope with all that bonus action not in manga RIP murder mommy then Oh-Etsu Nimaiya my favourite 0 member introduction was so dope and Zanpakuto info was good plus next week such sweet stuff coming gotta love Kubo and his rain
Wait. If the soul society could heal Soi Fon's arm back why didn't they heal Yamamoto's arm? Ywach was going on and on about him not wanting Orihime to heal his arm back. But if the soul society could have brought it back then Yamamoto is an idiot.
7:20 if i remember correctly in the flashback when the original gotei fought the vandenreich you can see that unohana already had her scar on her chest, which might indicate that kenpachi is like 1000 years old
The thing with that is she had no scar when the first artwork for them was released before the episode came out. There's a discrepancy between the two media.
I always imagined Unohana's Bankai was the culmination of her pursuit of the healing arts: a control and manipulation of death and dying. Like, when Kenpachi "melts", I imagined she was just like willing him to be unmade (basically the opposite of the act of healing/restoration) and that was his interpretation of it.
I think her powers are what inspired Elden Ring Boss Malenia, Blade of Miquella she even does the same move
"What's the difference between a soul reaper and their zanpakuto" is giving "What's the difference between a king and his horse?" vibes
I’m still horribly curious as to if they’re going to stay true to the manga for that flashback specifically Masaki‘s inner world. If you know you know.
Don't hold hope. We didn't get rukias peaches
@@dravendarkplays9607 yes, but that wasn’t necessary to the story
@@dravendarkplays9607 No I will never give up hope until the episode comes out.
I think the bodies pile implication was more like she stood there for at least 10 minutes and didnt notice it behind her/to her side as it built up. And it wasnt there when she got there. Not that when she turned to talk, all 10K bodies instantly teleported
Hopefully the break between part 1 and part 2 isn't too long
Potential copyright claims aside 33:57 as soon as Tekking said "By the way, very sad violin music is playing in the background" my head immediately went to the Dragon Ball Kai OST I-Requiem (To Those Who Meet Their End) cuing up in the background as Kenpachi's cradling Unohana's dying body in his arms. I even tried it out by playing it in the background during part of the review as he does Kenpachi's over the top wailing and Unohana's final thoughts before she passes on. It worked great.^w^
Was I the only one who saw Mera and thought 'oh, Tatsuki is finally playing a role'
Also, I believe Jaymes reported that Bleach will be four parts with a season between each.
Regardless, we know the lineup for the winter season (Jan,Feb and March) and it doesn't include Bleach
It's kinda cool that kenpatchi left unohanas in muken since it's where the worst criminal were imprisoned and she was one of the worst criminals in soul society
unless the anime messed up, the Unohana vs Zaraki fight couldnt have taken place AFTER the OG Gotei 13 vs Quincy because Unohana has her scar during that
i like the zanka no tachi south theory, so what if the blood that shows up from her bankai is all the blood from all the injuries that she healed in her shikai. kinda like the blood pools from royal palace.
The Eight Kenpachi is broken in certain aspects, but in others he is really weak.
He beat the 7th Kenpachi only because that guy couldn't use his Bankai out of fear of collateral damage, he literally admits himself that he could have not been able to beat him otherwise.
He was only able to escape the effects of Aizen's Shikai because he like hard counters it.
Almost any character which actively is able to absorb Reishi (so basically every Quincy) could counter his Bankai.
And in his Bankai he was unable to hurt Kenpachi Zaraki.
Unohana casually overlooking a 3 story tall pile of corpses and not noticing its there til its pointed out is the perfect way to show she is a kenpachi, as that shits just normal
But isn't the "Soul Society" just the East Branch? If you travel outside of the Rukon District, would you eventually reach Reverse London/ the West Branch?
Her bankai remind me of Malenia from elden ring shit was dope
"What's beyond the Rukon District?" The other Soul Societies of course. Like Soul Society West.
Yeah Azashiro's bankai is really OP... and Szayel apporo the original espada 0(not the same as the 8th you saw in anime) is really strong. It is really cool, read the light novel.
Hey Tekking, you think Aya Hisakawa knew about Unohana's past and her role in this war. Because the last time she voiced Unohana was way back in 2012 and her fight with Zaraki in the manga was at least 2015-2016ish so there's a gap.
If not, then I am extremely impressed with her voice range and work ethic. She probably put the time to learn about her so she can prep with a new demeanor but still maintain part of her voice that sounds motherly. I wholeheartedly expected they would hire a different voice actor for Unohana just for this arc and for this specific scene.
The way she said "Bankai" and "Minazuki" is still sending chills up my spine 🥶
Its going to be an interesting discussion in the community again when ichibei deems ichigo to be a true shinigami once he finishes his training because even though he is deemed to be a true shinigami by the royal guard the gotei still view him as a substitute just because he still has a living body and didn't go to the shinigami acadamy but I have always seen that as a non factor because he was trained by the royal guard as well as two former captains and he has a true Zanpakuto and has faught on the side of the gotei in every major conflict with the soul society arc being the exception
So you’re telling me the other 9 kenpachi weren’t actually kenpachi? Since none of them took down unohana? …stwww we love it
I remember when you came out with the “theory “ video about his sword spirit …. Epicness
And now everything but the rain!
I actually did think Kenpachi was being melted to the bone in this episode and that Unohana was just healing him back each time
That's a possibility given his sheer power damages his body, not a stretch that it was happening. Kenpachi is powerhouse to the point it becomes dangerous to him.
I would’ve thought Zaraki’s zanpakto’s voice would’ve shared Yachiro’s VA, but it didn’t sound like her. I could be wrong.
That's because Zaraki has two spirits. Yachiro is the bankai while the one Zaraki hears is the shiki, with the Shiki being an older women.
I would assume Rukongai is most of the Soul Society since there's actually 320 districts (Zaraki is just the 80th district in the North Region so there's still the 80th districts in the East, West, and South Districts)
Sikuyoro is actually a pun in Japanese. Nimaiya has a very distinct way of speaking, especially when it comes to reversing things (e.g. counting backwards). It should actually be shikuyoro, as that's just yoroshiku but with reversed halves of the word, he's just greeting him but in a wacky, "hip" way.
Azien, Unohana, Kenpachi. Three insanely powerful characters that are just bored.
I think pacing of the anime has been very good every episode is so satisfying
29:14 Even if Kenpachi was at full power under Kyoka Suigetsu, I think he might end up killing Aizen through collateral damage. Restraint Kenpachi Zaraki has not, and Aizen would only be safe if he was hiding in Hueco Mundo.
Tekking. Can we get some reaction videos. I was mind blown when they actually use her bankai a little bit. I would've loved to see your reaction
While Unohana and Kenpachi fight each other. Their thoughts being transferable remind me of Naruto where when Naruto and Sasuke fight they mention no words are needed because you can feel the emotions of your opponent in the blade they use
52:45 this is culturally very accurate as these smooth Scabbard are actually used to store Blades and blades that don't hv a body yet
Also I feel like we learned almost nothing about unohana bankai even after this. We learned it’s blood, that’s it….
For some weird reason... The tanned girl in the dark dress in the anime was actually a regular japanese looking dark haired girl in the manga... i guess they wanted to add a bit more variety XD...
I went back to check just because the scene looked quite familiar and it was actually almost a 1 to 1 page to screen adaptation of that particular scene but they added 2 girls and made that one girl tanned and gave her a dar instead of light colored dress for some reason... not that it matters but it just jumped to the eye when comparing...
7:21 If we believe the anime, this takes place +1000 ago since Unohana had the scar that Kenpachi gave her in the flashback of the OG Gotei 13... or maybe it was an animation error, and it will be corrected in the Blu-Ray.
Unohana used domain expansion.
Hey tekking, regarding what you were talking about at 23:30, Slayer would be perfect. Two songs come to mind, angel of death and raining blood. Both would be so fucking good to hear in the background
Great episode!!!
Azushiro is just chilling somewhere I forgot where though.
The 7th and 8th Kenpachi's are busted, so much so that the 7th was forbidden from using his bankai in and around the seireitei. It being so powerful that his equal as busted predecessor states that he was lucky to encounter Kyrushiki, the 7th, in the seireitei.
Now I know it's been a while since the one shot was released but with all of his attention on a thousand year blood War I feel like once that is completely animated he will start working on the chapters for the one shot again cuz they added way too many things to just tease us like Captain's have to go to hell if there soul level was a certain density. Sorry I heard you mentioned the one shot I'm just like I feel like it's going to be more than a one shot it was an anniversary thing but literally same year the freaking blood War is being animated which you know a decade ago we didn't think was going to happen
@Tekking101 8:28 looks like a younger Kuruyashiki Kenpachi, aka the 7th Kenpachi Captain
