    Beware manga spoilers in this video!
    Last time we looked at the 7th Kenpachi, Kuruyashiki - this time, we're talking about his killer, the 8th Kenpachi, Soya Azashiro! In the second of our two-part series, we'll be taking a look at the man with perhaps one of the most broken, in more ways than one, Bankai in the entire series of Bleach, as well as his character and the role he plays in the light novel Spirits Are Forever With You!

    The reason that Aizen's zanpakuto would be useless against Azashiro is because Kyoka Suigetsu can't work if the target is touching the blade. And since Azashiro can fuse with the air around them, it would be impossible for Aizen to keep Azashiro from touching Suigetsu.

      Gin said it best: Aizen isn't strong because of Kyoka Suigetsu.
      Aizen's spiritual pressure forms a dense wall around him as shown in the TYBW so it's not far fetched to assume he could push all the air away from his Zanpukto with his reiatsu anyway. Aizen also became one with his zanpukto, we have no idea what his Bankai is or if he even needs one now so it's possible that touching his Zanpukto probably won't stop his Bankais power given that the Hogyoku bends reality to the users will and could theoretically fix Kyoka Suigetsu's "weakness" if Aizen willed it.

    His zanpakuto being stuck in bankai reminds me of Ichigo's being stuck in shikai after training with Urahara. I feel like his zanpakuto is simply too powerful for him as a shinigami, Ichigo had to literally beat his into submission multiple times before he was able to finally access his true bankai. So when his bankai manifested when he was a child, its like when White would take control of Ichigo and fight in his place, It saw the fact that its user was too weak to survive on his own and would end up getting her killed too so she broke through his inner world barrier and due to the fact that she is his zanpakuto and connected directly to his soul, only he can see her.

Dual swords is his true shikai(Old bankai is a false shikai quite literally named bankai and has the symbol for it in the tsuba) and then True bankai is true bankai.

I'm especially excited given that Kubo gave them all of the supplemental information he has (from his own mind and maybe CFYOW) that the animators may choose to include in TYBW given that Kubo had to wrap things up earlier than he would have liked to. So hopefully we learn a little bit more about things like Uryu's power and history, the Royal Guard, Spirit King, etc. Exciting time to be a bleach fan.

    To me it feels like the action of never letting go of his Bankai state is some sort of regression, he fears feeling endangered and vulnerable once more like in his childhood.

    I love the relationship that he has with his zanpaktou that is essentially the exact same relationship one might have with their siblings, almost like an older sister that is constantly belittling the younger brother just because they are older and so the younger brother just starts to withdrawal into himself and thus keeps to himself a lot snd seems quiet.

    Also I really appreciate you taking your time to mention Unohana in relation to Sōya. Imo due to him saying one must not enjoy battle because it's 'useless' and 'doesn't forsee Shinigami duties', he would probably be disappointed of the true core of the First Kenpachi. I imagine he would think that the title is rightful to him completely. All I needed from SAFWY was an interaction between the 1st & 8th Kenpachi

    Excellent analysis! Azashiro gives me some major Sephiroth vibes and I’m not mad at that at all. I love the dichotomy between Uro Zakuro and Azashiro because it feels organic… like he has this power that was thrust upon him and suddenly he doesn’t matter anymore, only the power that he has been given. And furthermore, it feels like there’s more to his Zanpakuto spirit than just him imprinting onto an asauchi. It’s almost like the love of his sister imprinted onto his asauchi THROUGH him. It kind of reminds me of Gaara’s sand in Naruto, though obviously a little different in premise.
    Loved this and the Kuruyashiki content brother, keep up the good work! If you’re considering suggested content I’ve been really thinking about some of the historical inspiration for characters in bleach and it could be cool content to explore. Someone like Sasakibe Chojiro possibly being inspired by Sasaki Kojiro

  • @tnuhenaj3752
    @tnuhenaj3752 2 года назад +5

    It’s a weird coincidence that all the decently powerful nobles in bleach are pretty boys. The trend continues with tokinada. Young koga too I guess all the not ancient looking Kuchikis are like that.
    A fascinating fact that azashiro being able to cast multiple kido at the same time highlights is that normally a shinigami can only ever cast one kido at a time due to being limited by having only one mouth this only being able to chant one incantation or call one spell name. Kind of like how hands are required for hand seals in naruto. It also makes the relatively unimpressive seeming double incantation rukia used against aaroneiro a bit more impressive.
    I don’t want to say that kuruyashiki isn’t interesting but I think part of reception of the last video is that this content is new to many bleach fans. They aren’t familiar with this story or these characters unlike all the stuff in the manga.
    You say it’s good that azashiro was given weaknesses because otherwise it would be ridiculous but that’s basically what zaraki is in the novels. Novel zaraki could probably beat yhwach. The additions to lore from the novels is amazing but in terms of fighting and power levels and general writing the narita novels definitely have some shortcomings.
    Kubo said that narita understood zaraki’s power well but in the manga we see zaraki get owned by Gerard, Royd, pernida and if you reread the fight you’ll notice that even gremmy would’ve won if he hadn’t made the mistake of destroying his own body by imagining zaraki’s power. Seriously, kenny was so worn down at the end of that fight even the sternritter girls easily took him out and gremmy could still make clones and bodies. So what kubo says and what he writes are 2 different things.

    I really don't like him as a character or the conceit of 'he is actually a very weak guy but with the strongest bankai' when his bankai is always on and there's nothing to truly challenge that within the scope of his narrative.
    That said I think it'd be hilarious if a Sternritter just stole his bankai and this most overpowered-by-design character were knocked down a peg.
