Sajin Komamura / Bambietta Basterbine / Aaroniero Arreruerie Due to huge demand, Jugram Haschwalth will be our next character analysis video, but vote now for who you'd like to see after him! Which of these characters would you like to see? Leave a comment below!
sleepy • 16 years ago Yes, she does. We see it briefly for one second in a flashback. Also its confirmed in the Can't Fear Your Own World novel that she does have a zanpakuto. She just doesn't like using it (which is why her zanpakuto is grumpy all the time)
@@kana22693 the uncle that's been "disowned" for definitely being involved in some shady business, but he still shows up to ALL family functions and he's ALWAYS strapped with cash and teaches Ichigo and his siblings about weird things their strict grandpa, Yamamoto, doesn't want them to know about
Unmarried? Pretty sure the amount of time Yoruichi and Urahara spend flirting and hanging out technically makes them life partners in the eyes of the law. And since that thunder cat chapter made it pretty clear that they've fucked I see no difference between this and traditional marriage
SLIGHT SPOILER! My theory about Yoruichi’s Zanpakutō was that, much like Nanao Ise and Tokinada Tsunayashiro, the Zanpakutō belongs to the family and is given to the head of the clan. So when she left soul society, she relinquished her Zanpakutō back to her family for the next head to use.
Tokinada had his own Zanpakutō when he was a shinigami, but it got confiscated after he killed his own wife and left the Gotei 13. He just took Enrakyōten after that. And you read CFYOW. You should know that she had her own Zanpakutō and she doesn't use it, because (according to her) she's much better/stronger without it and she needs to soothe her Zanpakutō from time to time, because it's angry at her.
@@kingju4865 Tokinada is apart of the Tsunayashiro family, one of the 4 Great Noble clans. So no, he is not apart of Yoruichi's family, but he is a Noble so they abide by the same rules. And i mentioned him because the original comment was talking about him and the theory of Yoruichi's Zanpakutō, being just a Noble Family Zanpakutō and she lost it because she is no longer a Clan Head of Shihōin family which is disproven actually.
Fun fact, in the novels about rukia snd renji marriage, orihime got a job walking at a bakery and she said sometimes soi fon would come buy bread at the store, and rukia stated it's probably for yoruichi
@@simpgod2170 Both the manga and anime state it's water and ice. Remember Hitsugaya's power even controls the weather and the moisture in the atmosphere. He even states that as long as water is nearby, he can regenerate and reform his ice.
Yoruichi is my favorite character in bleach, glad that someone did a analysis video on her and btw I prefer this long ver on your analysis series imo at least. Keep up the great work dude!
I think her cat form being the bankai would work really well, especially if it did make her lose her mind. That would explain why she doesn't use her Zanpakuto at all. Maybe it turns her into a thunder cat goddess that can't think for herself and she doesn't like being in that mental state.
If I may suggest; you can bundle her Zanpakuto with Mashiro's, Hachi's, Iba's, and Isane's as 'lost Zanpakuto'; swords that we never got *anything* on.
I liked the full circle Yoruichi's character did in the story of bleach. She was introduced as a cat that had full control and awareness akin to a human and her story arc ends with her being a human that has no control over herself and acts like a cat.
It would have been interesting if Yoruichi was a similar type of species as Sajin Komamura, having used her humanization technique in the past to make herself human.
@@Gevaudan1471 no not really because that would imply that she would regress into a beast because of a desire of anger and revenge which she doesn't Also that would mean her whole family would be part if that species
I like that, despite being Kisuke's lifelong friend and confidant, she will call him out and even punch his lights out if he crosses the line with his duplicity and endangering people by using them, and his perversions. It's telling they had an apparent falling out post Blood War, yet again Urahara used her against her will battling Askin so her ditching him is understandable. She did the same with Soifon, stopping her from violently killing others over nothing. Yoruichi is a true legacy character.
yeah in Bleach Spirits Are Forever with You, apparently she's stayed in Soul Society teaching in the Shinigami Academy and also apparently she's no longer had contact with Urahara, maybe that's the reason about their falling out
@@DarthMalgusSith_Lord Yes. She also threatened to snap his neck at the end of CFYOW after he mused becoming villainous in his research. If you notice their friendship had it's toxicity especially on his part given he'd use and endanger her just to gain an edge over the opposition while also hiding information. No wonder she left him for 100 years before the main story.
@@lorddukfoxyzeppeli7921 Possibly because the substance is too *ahem* 'fluid' and unpredictable I.E it can be used to nerf others by simply flooding them.
Probably bleach is one of the very few animes where every waifu is literally best waifu (we have rukia, matsumoto, yoruichi, unohana, orihime, neliel, riruka, harribel, bambietta, isane, lisa, ecc...)
31:35 I agree, I think they are just really good friends. Far beyond just fraternal love, even, without being a couple whatsoever. Who knows, maybe they might screw around but for sure it would be casual and natural, no romantic ties imo I like the idea, like Ichigo and Rukia, that two people of opposed sex can get a long really well without having to bang or end together. We just have the idea that a man and a woman who get a long have to be in love, at it's not the case (all the time, at least).
I know this video was 6 months ago, however in the novel, the last delivery, she talked about her Zanpakotu, she says she needs to appease her zampa every day because she doesn’t use it (so zampa spirit is angry). After know Burn the Witch and bleach exist in the same universe, some people were talking about a theory, the youruichi’s zampa has the spirit of a sealed dragon, maybe his bankay is the materialization of the dragon, for me that makes sense. A new history about kisuke and Yoruichi is coming, according to one of the novel writers, when? We don’t know.
@tom gu stfu you sound so ignorant. Who said she was? Im brown and she’s brown too and who cares what shade she is? And being dark skin isn’t an insult. Foh
@tom gu lol Indians decedent from Africans. And there’s light skin, brown skin and dark skin Indians. Doesn’t matter what she is. She’s still beautiful. Nobody said she was black, you made that assumption.
Yoruichi doesn't use her sword cause it doesn't reflect her or benefit her hence she doesn't use it. Just like Soi Fon hates her bankai since its a nuke launcher & not something reflecting stealth, speed, or assassination. Its loud, obvious, flashy & tires her immensely. But her shikai does reflect her so she still uses it. The answer has been there the whole time.
One way you can see the electric cat form is the polar opposite of her actual cat form. Like she's human in form, and hot AF, but she has the personality of cat while in her cat form she has 0 sex appeal but she is human in personality and intellect.
Given her intelligence and personality, she probably knew that Soifon would get stronger if she left, that her being there was holding her back. I loved her last fight and didn't feel like it's just fanservice. My theory for her not using a Zanpakuto is that she either didn't want to use a blade anymore, for reasons. Or that Kisuke fused her with her Zanpakuto. Either way, she wouldn't be splitting her power into the blade but have it in herself. (because remember what a Zankakuto is, a place that stores your power, so it also absorbs it right?) So her going pseudo bankai would result in a transformation of herself. And her spirit embodies that of a cat, so lovely that last scene with Kisuke.
this video TOTALLY invites the need for a Soifon analysis. Especially regarding the relationship with the zanpakuto, when you think about Yoruichi, you gotta think about Soifon.
I love how your Chanel has grown and how much energy that you put in each of your videos. It is very nice to see that bleach RUclipsrs are getting the limelight that you guys deserve.
Now what I am about to say is nothing but a fun head cannon theory I've been working and just want to hear what others think about it. I always figured that Yoruichi Shihoin's Electric Cat form is in fact her Bankai. That we know Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin have a great relationship with each other. Yoruichi Shihoin trusts Kisuke Urahara with her life. So I propose the idea that Yoruichi Shihoin willingly subjugated herself to one of Kisukue Urahara's experiments and this experiment I thinking of is one that involves permanently bonding a Shinigami to their Zanpakuto. First, let me point out that when you consider what a Zanpakuto truly is permanently bonding with it isn't so far fetched. We can also see this happening with Dangai Ichigo and with Sosuke Aizen. We also see in a flashback a much younger Yoruichi Shiohion with a Zanpakuto. I also want to take a moment to point out Kensei Muguruma who is always in Shikai release after the Turn Back the Pendulum arc so I also want to theorize that in her bonded state with her Zanpakuto Yoruichi Shihoin is also in a constant Shikai release like Kensei Muguruma. Now I want to bring up Suì Fēng and how there is a stark contrast between her Shunko and Yoruichi Shihoin's Shunko. That the lightning element that comes off Yoruichi Shihoin's Shunko could be an ability of her Zanpakuto that she is bonded to. That Yoruichi Shihoin is combining her Shunko with her Zanpakuto's lighting elemental ability. Then with all this said it does make sense that Kisuke Urahara can trigger Yoruichi Shihoin's Bankai because it is the product of his experimentation. Then I want to remark on the personality change of Yoruichi Shihoin in the Electric Cat form by addressing one Zaraki Kenpachi and point out his Bankai changed his physical features and his personality. As for Yoruichi full-on cat form we see for the first half of the Bleach anime can be also chalked up to her Zanpakuto and its ability. I now want to draw attention to Yumichika Ayasegawa for my example and how he purposely says the wrong Release Command to make his Zanpakuto take a "false" Shikai form and how Yoruichi Shihoin could, in fact, be doing something very similar with the Zanpakuto she is bonded with to take on that full-on cat form.
I mean. He is the weakest captain. Doesn't make him any less of a good character. Shuhei isn't even a captain and he's a fan favorite, let's not even speak about rukia lol
There is a scene in TBTP arc where Aizen PURPOSELY makes an image of himself to be seen by Kyoraku during the same time of night where he was encountered by Kisuke. I think the Central 46 mentioned that like a few other officers witnessed Aizen that night away from the hollowfication encounter. So I don't think Kyoraku wouldn've believed Yoirichi if she pulled him to the side with no hard proof.
Completely agree. Did a disservice to Yoruichi at the end of the series. I choose to forget the last arc for things like this. It honestly feels like it should of ended with Aizen arc.
Fans for all of Bleach: "Yoruichi is an excellent example of how to do an independent female character right." Kubo at the end of Bleach: "Lmao sexy cat go prr"
Maybe a future video on the Kidou Corps and what became of them, Tessai and Hachi? IMO not having Tessai, leader of the damn Kidou Corps, not being involved in the last arc at ALL was a missed opportunity. We at least got to see Hachi in action, but nothing of his superior. We saw glimpses of his ability in TBTP’s arc, but that teleportation Kidou would have been perfect for Urahara/Yoruichi/Grimmjow/Yujiro vs Askin’s final moments. Anyway, love me some Yoruichi. Such a badass, and so absurdly hot. Purple hair and dark, tanned skin? Oh hell yeah.
Look how smug my guy is when he says the “coolest cat” line 😂 but man without a doubt Yoruichi is still one of my favourite female characters of all time! 🐱
No reason to send her to Hueco Mundo. Isshin, Urahara, and Yoruichi had coordinated attacks to fight Aizen. All three of them only had one opponent they were looking at, none other mattered. And honestly it seemed like it was that from the very beginning. The three of them could have stopped any Karakura Town invasion by themselves until the Fake Karakura Town arc. But they didn't. They could have helped in the Lost Agent arc as well, but they didn't. Anyway, I always felt her character took a shift down when it relied on Urahara so much. Do you know how many characters she bounced off of in Soul Society? Kuukaku. Byakuya. Soi-Fon. Ichigo. And I believe even Aizen had a very quick word with her when she and Soi-Fon restrained him. None of her character had to rely on Urahara and that was why she was at her best. My biggest gripe with the final arc is Urahara needing to get involved in her fight and what, smacking her ass or some crap. And pretty much turning her submissive to him or something. And following his orders. News Flash, she's more experienced than him. Him being smart can only carry him so far. I find his best interactions are his brief ones with Mayuri. Or even his ones with Aizen. Yuushiro. Wasn't he going to deliver something to Yoruichi? Like some Golden Armor or something? That was something. And yeah his introduction was a bit shaky, but they could've done more with him. Like do you know how surprised I was when he busted out Fire Shunko out of nowhere? I thought that was completely unnecessary and actively took away from Soi-Fon and Yoruichi. We could've learned more about the Shihoin side of things. Like how Yoruichi was doing her best to keep the Soul King together? That's the type of stuff her family should've been ready for and Yuushiro should've been that way more than Fire Shunko boy. As far as her Zanpakutou? I like that she didn't use it. She never did in the past so why do it now? It's the same thing I have about Aizen. I see a lot of people wondering where his Bankai is. And it's like. . .not necessary. There are other things about the characters that take precedent IMO. I absolutely loved her Lightning God form. It kept up the fact that she was still so far ahead of Soi-Fon who kind of just recently unlocked a wind release (you know what i mean.) I thought that was really cool. The cat form was . . . something. There are a thousand ways for Kubo to . . .not insult her with it's introduction, but he did. Last thing I want to say about Yoruichi is my favorite scene with her is when Ichigo finds out she has a little brother and he's surprised and accusatory towards her for not letting him know. And she just goes "What? You gonna put a ring on it or something?" (Paraphrasing) That was such an amazing line that encompassed Yoruichi's character to a T. Anyway, Nice video. She's one of my favorite characters in Bleach and was my favorite character through the Soul Society.
I doubt the part where you said she has more experience than Urahara; Urahara’s past is still a mystery for the most part even in turn back the pendulum it seems Urahara is usually the one responsible for most assassination missions and at some point he was appointed a part of the Prison guards and then he had more to do even compared to Yoruichi at that point and somehow he still has time to do his research. Not to mention Tessai and Yoruichi treat Urahara not only as a friend but in some ways a superior. Out of the three it seems urahara is the leader when it came to their little group even when they were young Kisuke had been responsible for almost everything they have, the hotspring, the training, whether it be out of respect, love, loyalty Tessai and Yoruichi high ranking officers that have established their names in Soul Society sooner than Urahara, still sacrificed everything they had just to protect and save Urahara. Slight spoiler in the Can’t fear your own world novel which is a canon sequel even Kubo himself had given it the green light; the final chapters which include Urahara and Yoruichi; Yoruichi was concerned over Kisuke’s safety when Hisagi made an impression of why Kisuke made the Hogyoku, and Yoruichi addresses Urahara with “Lord” whether this was a mistranslation their conversation still shows how she is willing to protect him even going as far as killing the Shinigamis they considered Allies if they knew too much about his past or true motives heck it was Kisuke not Yoruichi who planned Tokinada ( Main Antagonist of the sequel novel) to get assassinated which shows that Yoruichi followed his order to have Tokinada killed for what he consider good for all of Soul Society.
@@yamatonoryuujin4871 We do know enough about their past though. Turning Back the Pendulum showed that Yoruichi is the one who recommended Urahara for the role of Captain when the previous captain was promoted to Squad Zero. And when Urahara was framed and going to be another victim of Aizen, it was Yoruichi who came to save the day. Moreso, we know that she was Commander in chief of the Onmitsukido while Urahara's highest role was Corps Commander. Most of the time she outranked him and had a grander reputation than him in Soul Society. That's mostly because of her family lineage, but that is more reason as to why her becoming more tied to him limited what her character was initially.
@@risersin7957 no we don’t; you’re only stating on what happened 200 years or so ago, pendulum the arc is not their full past history as even that is holding back on Urahara’s history in soul society we didn’t even see what he accomplished with the RnD department for those 3 yrs. before the incident occured, and even if Yoruichi was Captain of the onmitsukido, it doesn’t really tell us the full backstory between her, Urahara, Tessai, and Kukaku. Again while Urahara’s highest position was Corps commander he had a lot of freedom so much so that he can choose missions and create missions of his own and Yoruichi wouldn’t bat an eye showing to us how much faith she has in his abilities and judgement but also how much respect she has for his experience that she doesn’t question it at all, but even the nature of that is weird he was a third seat not a lieutenant and he already had such great freedom compared to others meaning Urahara wanted that position and stayed in that position ‘till Yoruichi recommended him to captain, because as Yamamoto put it she wouldn’t stop bragging about his abilities in her report; notice how when Yoruichi told him, he wasn’t really shocked, for a guy who wasn’t second in command he was confident it was him who was recommended. Another thing to note was before Soi fon arrived Kisuke was already discussing something with Yoruichi about the exams most likely as she only knew about his mission when a member reported back to Urahara. Another thing to note was at that point most of his best friends or closest friends likely had high ranking positions within SS: Tessai was a captain, Yoruichi was a captain, and Kukaku might’ve once been a captain or something equal to that lvl or she was retired at that point due to her injuries since according to Shinji during their time there were a lot of Changes between the captain of divisions, Love for example was only promoted to captain 3 yrs. before Pendulum arc began but even that isn’t clear who the previous captains were; So yeah Pendulum arc isn’t really reliable. Then there’s Tokinada teasing Yoruichi about how much she doesn’t know and how much Urahara has kept from everyone about his knowledge of the Soul King and how the world works. The Hollow experiments he must’ve conducted because again as I pointed out he already knew the process of Hollowfication when confronting Aizen which shocked even Tessai and Shinji, the creation of his Hogyoku we don’t even know how and most likely all three of his closest friends never knew it existed at all. Tessai was shocked; Yoruichi most likely only knew when they reached the Human world and Kukaku probably only knew when Yoruichi told her. Then there’s their childhood to adolescence Kisuke built the underground training facility beneath the sokyoku hill with no one even knowing about it, but also the Healing springs he placed there...the weird thing is that nowhere in soul society could you find such healing springs it was only ever mentioned in the Soul King Palace as a certain Zero squad member pointed out “Kisuke must’ve created those same waters when he analyzed my Hot springs water.” Implying that Kisuke was able to enter the Soul King’s palace before Pendulum arc how? Ichibe Himself trusts Urahara and his decisions but then again it’s most likely because He and Kisuke have similar personalities and beliefs. So no Pendulum arc isn’t even showing us the full extent of Yoruichi’s growth as a character for the most part it only delves in the Vizard’s relationship, and the tiniest hints of Kisuke’s character history and his major growth in that arc alone. Their childhood was barely mentioned and how someone like Kisuke and Tessai were able to play in her Mansion when they’re not even members of the Noble houses like Kukaku, their times together as well is a mystery again Kisuke was the leader of their group you could even feel it in the current story, Tessai even calls him with honorifics, Yoruichi doesn’t question and follows what he instructs unless she’s being grumpy towards him, Kukaku as she said in SS can’t ignore a request from Kisuke since he’s involved. All pendulum arc did was bring us up to speed with what happened and why they were exiled. Nothing about their past before the *incident (oh was suppose to mean the arc not incident srry) was ever revealed.
Honestly since the reveal that some Zanpakutō's are passed down along family generations, such as with Nanao Ise use of Shinken Hakkyōken, I have felt that in all likelihood this to be the case with Yoruichi's. She probably left it in the family house for Yūshirō to take up once he was old enough to properly wield it.
She has/had her own Zampakuto. She doesn't like using it, and the Spirit of her zampakuto is angry at her(this is from the "Can't Fear Your Own World" light novel)
@@exequielbreton4393 Yes thats true although the ancestral zanpakuto theory is also plausible, in my opinion. We just have to wait until Kubi properly make a story out of it. Remember that Kubo isnt exactly the best man to make connect the dots in Bleach timeline despite being the creator of Bleach universe himself.
I've never understood the idea of the yourichi, kysuke beyond friends thing since it's made clear there are not even in there fight with aizen she punched him when thinking that he her best friend was looking at her legs and in the askin fight was caught off guard and kick his jaw thinking he hit her but and behind the comment he made. Obviously showing that's not something they do. And personality that's something I like when not every guy and girl friendship has to turn into a romance
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who didn't like the treatment of Yoruichi in the final ark. To be perfectly clear, I regard Yoruichi as the most attractive female character in Bleach and I do enjoy her looks, but seeing her being degraded to a full fan service mode, both art-wise but more importantly - being turned into a full cat-person, and worse than that - being robbed of her agency and self-control, that felt awkward to me. She was always the most capable female character in the series, always in control, always being cool headed and having a commanding presence. Then she turned into a kawaii neko-girl. It just felt wrong... And she didn't even win the fight - Kisuke was the one to save her. Yoruichi has always been the go-to feminism symbol in Bleach. Being degraded into a submissive, hyper-sexualized form and then getting rescued by a male... I don't even find it sexy. It's her personality and her badassary that makes her so great.
Couldn't care less for various reasons. Her thunder cat form is one of my favorite and one of my most powerful and upgraded characters by far in Brave Souls. Level 4 special attack too.
Meh, its not all that big of a deal, Yoruichi sexually degrades teenagers (and Soi-fon) on a semi-regular basis so turnabout is fair play in all honesty. Funny that the "go-to feminism symbol" is apparently a pervy lecher. Just saying, if Kisuke 'joked' with Orihime, Ichigo and Soi-fon the way that Yuruichi does it would be condemned as disgusting sexist misogyny (in fact I've heard people claim Kisuke is all of that even though his pervy jokes are far tamer and rarer than hers and also never target people who are under age) in a heartbeat, but its apparently aspirational when a woman does it. Kind of confusing honestly, either fan service and pervy jokes are okay or they aren't, full stop, and one of the main characters who subjects other characters to being the butt of said jokes absolutely deserves to become the butt of such a joke herself at least once in the series.
Yorucihi is a favorite female manga character of mine. Not because she is written well but because of what she accomplished/potential. I really gotta commend her for still being captain level without a shinigami main weapon
The cfyow novel exposed a side yoruichi I never thought I'd see. She asked kisuke if he wants her to kills hisagi. I was like wtf. Yoruichi no.1 female still
@@chrome450 From what I remember she didn't say kill but erase his memories because he found about about how the soul king came to be and Urahara said it was fine that he knew
My head canon has always been the reason no one was using their bankai in the fight against Aizen is because they were all afraid of his hypnosis ability being used to trick them into attacking each other.
I wonder what happened to Harribel after she was captured by the Quincy during the beginning of TYBW, there isn't any info which hints on what happened to her afterwards, whether she died shortly after her capture or she escaped after Yhwach was defeated and the war ended
@@ahsanvirk130 That’s probably Kubo’s fault for not showing us Harribel once more during the aftermath of the war. He had to rush the final arc because of his illness. And if I have to take a guess that she’s recovering her strength after being chained up.
Yeah... Kubo dropped the ball in the end, sadly enough. Definitely one of the best characters in the series reduced to that. Also... that "brother" is dead & buried. =P As for the battle against Aizen, erh... my take on it is that Aizen's reiatsu was already dangerously toxic before his many morphs. Iow, using full power could mean no reiatsu left to protect their bodies. Orrrrr.... they were aware of the continual upgrade potential.
Kubo decided to do that because of two reasons. Fans have always wanted/thought there was some kind of love triangle between Soi Fon, Yoruchi and Kiskue. And he needed to give her some kind of Bankai level upgrade to fight while still within her realm of possibility but he never gave her a zanpakto. He said she cast it away so he couldn't think of a way for her to have it again and what powers it would have last minute. SO he made her an electric catgirl.
There was never any romance between Soi Fontaine and Yoruichi at any point. Soi Fon was a child and student of Yoruichi that looked up to her in an unhealthy obsessive way that Yoruichi never reciprocated. Her and Kiskue were lovers and had been for a long time. Soi Fon hated Kiskue because Yoruichi not only liked him more but loved him and she knew she would never receive the same attention from Yoruichi, she was left without a second thought from Yoruichi who gave up her nobility to live with Kiskue in a shitty part of town on earth selling candy. They had far more than a friendship which is more than hinted at by Kiskues statement of being familiar with her ass in the air and the way she acted in her thunder cat form.
It's called the stealth force for a Reason you know. About the use of a zanpaktou by yourichi you forget the main criteria to be in the stealth force is ability to fight In hand to hand combat. Even soifon mentioned how she detested her bankai because of its shape and huge size going against the philosophy of the stealth force hence why her shikai was preferred in line with the stealth required to strike her opponent in the same place twice.
I like how he barely explained how animal transformation works in the universe. Adds to the mystery in a good way imo. There are many examples of Kubo not explaining something and making it worse but this isn't one of those. I think Bankai's and this are some of the best utilized mysteries in the series.
19:24- Yeah, Yoruichi was the one female character outside of Rukia to be treated with dignity in battle and not be fodder to the male characters. And she was also largely independent and her own person. The last fight she was in reduced her to Kisuke’s attack animal against her will and really undermines their friendship as he can apparently make her do this at any point. It really sours the relationship and makes it much more unhealthy than it initially appeared.
You do realize the only reason Kiskue was able to transform her to that is because she gave him the ability right? That's not something he pulled out of his ass, it's not something Benihime can do. She gave Kiskue the ability to transform into that out of love and trust knowing he would only do it if there was no other choice as a last resort. Despite her never wanting to personally use it she knew there might come a time where it would be absolutely necessary for her and his survival and knowing she could never make the choice herself regardless of the outcome she gave the ability to do so and the decision making for when it would be done.
I’ve always thought Yoruichi’s Zanpaktou is just not actually useful for combat which is why she neglects it. Similar to Soifon’s Bankai being useless and conflicting with her fight style.
I think she partly left because Soi Fon was always doubting her abilities, because she left it forced So Fon to get stronger and overcome her insecurities to become the best fighter she could be. Yoruichi knew that if she stayed Soi Fon would always remain insecure with her abilities, but we see that because she left, it gave Soi Fon a reason to get stronger, much stronger than she could have gotten with Yoruichi. That's just my idea on why Yoruichi could leave Soi Fon and not feel bad about it, because in the end doing that, made her a stronger more capable warrior.
She left Soi Fon because she loved Kiskue and cared about him more, plus Soi Fon is an uptight see you next Tuesday who hated Kiskue because Yoruichi liked him more and wasn't into girls.
@@braedenbrightharp9915 Yea they're close in a student teacher fashion, though Soi Fon clearly had an unhealthy love obsession with her that Yoruichi has never reciprocated which is why Soi Fon detests Kiskue so much. No I don't think Yoruichi is into girls in the slightest and has never shown interest in any of them.
First: My vote to Sajin Komamura! I just had a few things that I wanted to mention, I LOVE your work, you go in-depth and have a great degree of analysis. But I'd say that there are just a few things (from my personal opinion, since I can't pretend I have grounds to say these are pure facts). I'd say the Shunko-cat form is paramount to showing what makes Yoruichi a bit more unique and shows a regard tot he fact that she's still that frighteningly powerful despite not having her zanpakuto (though I never found that cool, I wanted to see it, ha ha). It is very fan servicey but that's not new to Shonen-Jump characters or manga (so to me no big deal). The inclusion of her little brother Yushiro was important in my eyes, though a secondary character purely: its to show how the Shihoin Clan is carrying on beyond Yoruichi's departure over a century ago. Sure it was silly and had some moments, but to see him confirmed at least two things: Despite appearances, he's fairly powerful and quite handy at Hakuda like his sister (I liken it to a clan specialty, though I suppose I might be reaching a bit there) and she recently taught him shunko, yet he was able to wield it pretty handily in a short time. It just means the clan is in good hands (though he seems a bit naive, it also gave Askin more cool points for defeating so many people and serves as a purpose to show how his 'immunity' works. Same with Yoruichi's cat-form dominating him: pre-Vollstandig form). And just a last thought of mine is honestly, they'd made sure to allow other characters time to shine (it was cheap to her, but I suppose it felt that she fell back: but I'm glad that she did get in again).
"Idk y Kubo decided to do that" is what we all said during the entire 1000 yr war arc. Almost no fight was satisfying & half the series still goes unexplained
Love Yoruichi a lot, but I dislike how sidelined she got in the second half of the series. Also my vote is for Komamura. I'm interested in whether or not you agree that the power-up he received was taken away from him too quickly.
I disagree that Yoruichi didn't think about her relationship with Soi Fon. I think Yoruichi understood that the path she was going on would lead her into being an enemy of the soul society. She viewed Urahara and Tessai as peers--peers who had already lost everything. But I could never see Yoruichi putting Soi Fon in the line of fire that way because she is her mentor. Thats why I think when Soi Fon, at the end of their fight, screams "Why didnt u take me with you?!" its supposed to hit harder. Because the student doesn't understand that what the mentor did was ultimately to keep her out of harms way.
every four great noble clans have their own ancestral zanpakuto however each members of each clans have the ability to imprint their soul onto the asauchi and obtain their own zanpakuto
I believe her Zanpakuto is something she doesn’t prefer, making her more overtly girly, refined or relies on more Kidō based powers- which she doesn’t like as a tomboyish, physical fighter.
urahara and everyone didn't appear in the lost agent arc because they were busy trying to get ichigo's power's back. I think they did a good job of establishing that, at least in the anime.
Yoruichi is best girl in Bleach and one of the best in all fiction, be it anime/manga or otherwise. She's witty, badass and sexy. I hope the anime expands on her role in TYBW and makes her fight with Askin a little less fanservicey and showcase more of her awesome power. Here's hoping she gets a good role to play in the upcoming Hell manga arc. Princess Thundercat deserves as much love as the male characters like Byakuya and Urahara.

Yoruichi is probably the most universally liked character in Bleach. She's basically perfect.
Yea her and kisuke
Especially her ass.
She can step on my face
It's actually impossible to not like her even a liltle bit lmao
sleepy • 16 years ago Yes, she does. We see it briefly for one second in a flashback.
Also its confirmed in the Can't Fear Your Own World novel that she does have a zanpakuto. She just doesn't like using it (which is why her zanpakuto is grumpy all the time)
Yoruichi is ichigo’s rich, unmarried aunt that’s always traveling and only comes home for Christmas and his birthday
That actually works. What's Kisuke? Ichigo's cool stoner uncle who has the latest gadgets? lol
@@kana22693 the uncle that's been "disowned" for definitely being involved in some shady business, but he still shows up to ALL family functions and he's ALWAYS strapped with cash and teaches Ichigo and his siblings about weird things their strict grandpa, Yamamoto, doesn't want them to know about
why is that so acurate XD
Unmarried? Pretty sure the amount of time Yoruichi and Urahara spend flirting and hanging out technically makes them life partners in the eyes of the law.
And since that thunder cat chapter made it pretty clear that they've fucked I see no difference between this and traditional marriage
Bro... she stripped confront of ichigo multiple times. Just for fun.
SLIGHT SPOILER!
My theory about Yoruichi’s Zanpakutō was that, much like Nanao Ise and Tokinada Tsunayashiro, the Zanpakutō belongs to the family and is given to the head of the clan. So when she left soul society, she relinquished her Zanpakutō back to her family for the next head to use.
That’s a good theory
That sounds logical
Tokinada had his own Zanpakutō when he was a shinigami, but it got confiscated after he killed his own wife and left the Gotei 13. He just took Enrakyōten after that.
And you read CFYOW. You should know that she had her own Zanpakutō and she doesn't use it, because (according to her) she's much better/stronger without it and she needs to soothe her Zanpakutō from time to time, because it's angry at her.
@@lone7892 I didn't read cfyow but is takinada a part of yoruichis family or why do you mention him?
@@kingju4865 Tokinada is apart of the Tsunayashiro family, one of the 4 Great Noble clans. So no, he is not apart of Yoruichi's family, but he is a Noble so they abide by the same rules.
And i mentioned him because the original comment was talking about him and the theory of Yoruichi's Zanpakutō, being just a Noble Family Zanpakutō and she lost it because she is no longer a Clan Head of Shihōin family which is disproven actually.

I think her cat form being the bankai would work really well, especially if it did make her lose her mind. That would explain why she doesn't use her Zanpakuto at all. Maybe it turns her into a thunder cat goddess that can't think for herself and she doesn't like being in that mental state.
If I may suggest; you can bundle her Zanpakuto with Mashiro's, Hachi's, Iba's, and Isane's as 'lost Zanpakuto'; swords that we never got *anything* on.

I liked the full circle Yoruichi's character did in the story of bleach. She was introduced as a cat that had full control and awareness akin to a human and her story arc ends with her being a human that has no control over herself and acts like a cat.

I like that, despite being Kisuke's lifelong friend and confidant, she will call him out and even punch his lights out if he crosses the line with his duplicity and endangering people by using them, and his perversions. It's telling they had an apparent falling out post Blood War, yet again Urahara used her against her will battling Askin so her ditching him is understandable. She did the same with Soifon, stopping her from violently killing others over nothing. Yoruichi is a true legacy character.
yeah in Bleach Spirits Are Forever with You, apparently she's stayed in Soul Society teaching in the Shinigami Academy and also apparently she's no longer had contact with Urahara, maybe that's the reason about their falling out
@@DarthMalgusSith_Lord Yes. She also threatened to snap his neck at the end of CFYOW after he mused becoming villainous in his research.

Probably bleach is one of the very few animes where every waifu is literally best waifu (we have rukia, matsumoto, yoruichi, unohana, orihime, neliel, riruka, harribel, bambietta, isane, lisa, ecc...)
31:35 I agree, I think they are just really good friends. Far beyond just fraternal love, even, without being a couple whatsoever. Who knows, maybe they might screw around but for sure it would be casual and natural, no romantic ties imo I like the idea, like Ichigo and Rukia, that two people of opposed sex can get a long really well without having to bang or end together. We just have the idea that a man and a woman who get a long have to be in love, at it's not the case (all the time, at least).

I know this video was 6 months ago, however in the novel, the last delivery, she talked about her Zanpakotu, she says she needs to appease her zampa every day because she doesn’t use it (so zampa spirit is angry). After know Burn the Witch and bleach exist in the same universe, some people were talking about a theory, the youruichi’s zampa has the spirit of a sealed dragon, maybe his bankay is the materialization of the dragon, for me that makes sense. A new history about kisuke and Yoruichi is coming, according to one of the novel writers, when? We don’t know.
Yoruichi is the perfect brown skin girl: strong, fast, intelligent, beautiful and outgoing. Finally did a dark skin girl justice in anime.
This! Yoruichi is a perfect character, so charismatic, and has some of the best interactions in the series.

Why do we have 2 Lightning zanpakutos, 2 fires zanpakutos and 2 ice zanpakutos but not a single water zanpakuto?
Yoruichi doesn't use her sword cause it doesn't reflect her or benefit her hence she doesn't use it. Just like Soi Fon hates her bankai since its a nuke launcher & not something reflecting stealth, speed, or assassination. Its loud, obvious, flashy & tires her immensely. But her shikai does reflect her so she still uses it.
The answer has been there the whole time.
Based on how she lashed out at Yoruichi like a child in their fight.....I'd say her Bankai was spot on.
@@UnifiedEntity personality wise, maybe. Ninja reflecting? No.
I think the point of Bankai/Shikai is that it reflects the owner's personality in some fashion.

We had one canonical one. Kaien Shiba.
Given her intelligence and personality, she probably knew that Soifon would get stronger if she left, that her being there was holding her back.
I loved her last fight and didn't feel like it's just fanservice.
My theory for her not using a Zanpakuto is that she either didn't want to use a blade anymore, for reasons. Or that Kisuke fused her with her Zanpakuto.
Either way, she wouldn't be splitting her power into the blade but have it in herself. (because remember what a Zankakuto is, a place that stores your power, so it also absorbs it right?)
So her going pseudo bankai would result in a transformation of herself.
And her spirit embodies that of a cat, so lovely that last scene with Kisuke.
She just didn't care about Soi Fon as much as she did Kisuke and can you blame her? Soi Fon is a total uptight see you next tuesday.
Or maybe she didn't have any zanpakuto. Instead she used one that's inherited within her family, like Nanao Ise & Tokinada.
She’s the best, don’t shorten your videos, I like all the info
hopefully her fight against askin gets more time when the anime comes out because she needs to be deserve justice
The pair are so in love.
Honestly can't tell you if it's romantic or platonic as the source material never touches on it but so much love
this video TOTALLY invites the need for a Soifon analysis. Especially regarding the relationship with the zanpakuto, when you think about Yoruichi, you gotta think about Soifon.
Unfortunately
no when u think yoruichi u think kisuke
I love how your Chanel has grown and how much energy that you put in each of your videos. It is very nice to see that bleach RUclipsrs are getting the limelight that you guys deserve.
Now what I am about to say is nothing but a fun head cannon theory I've been working and just want to hear what others think about it.
I always figured that Yoruichi Shihoin's Electric Cat form is in fact her Bankai. That we know Kisuke Urahara and Yoruichi Shihoin have a great relationship with each other. Yoruichi Shihoin trusts Kisuke Urahara with her life. So I propose the idea that Yoruichi Shihoin willingly subjugated herself to one of Kisukue Urahara's experiments and this experiment I thinking of is one that involves permanently bonding a Shinigami to their Zanpakuto. First, let me point out that when you consider what a Zanpakuto truly is permanently bonding with it isn't so far fetched. We can also see this happening with Dangai Ichigo and with Sosuke Aizen. We also see in a flashback a much younger Yoruichi Shiohion with a Zanpakuto. I also want to take a moment to point out Kensei Muguruma who is always in Shikai release after the Turn Back the Pendulum arc so I also want to theorize that in her bonded state with her Zanpakuto Yoruichi Shihoin is also in a constant Shikai release like Kensei Muguruma. Now I want to bring up Suì Fēng and how there is a stark contrast between her Shunko and Yoruichi Shihoin's Shunko. That the lightning element that comes off Yoruichi Shihoin's Shunko could be an ability of her Zanpakuto that she is bonded to. That Yoruichi Shihoin is combining her Shunko with her Zanpakuto's lighting elemental ability. Then with all this said it does make sense that Kisuke Urahara can trigger Yoruichi Shihoin's Bankai because it is the product of his experimentation. Then I want to remark on the personality change of Yoruichi Shihoin in the Electric Cat form by addressing one Zaraki Kenpachi and point out his Bankai changed his physical features and his personality. As for Yoruichi full-on cat form we see for the first half of the Bleach anime can be also chalked up to her Zanpakuto and its ability. I now want to draw attention to Yumichika Ayasegawa for my example and how he purposely says the wrong Release Command to make his Zanpakuto take a "false" Shikai form and how Yoruichi Shihoin could, in fact, be doing something very similar with the Zanpakuto she is bonded with to take on that full-on cat form.
I remember when i first saw Bleach years ago. Safe to say Yoruichi was my first anime crush hahahah
This video was brought to you by Soi Fon

@@MaliMontana It's a fake fan who talks crap about the series
There is a scene in TBTP arc where Aizen PURPOSELY makes an image of himself to be seen by Kyoraku during the same time of night where he was encountered by Kisuke. I think the Central 46 mentioned that like a few other officers witnessed Aizen that night away from the hollowfication encounter. So I don't think Kyoraku wouldn've believed Yoirichi if she pulled him to the side with no hard proof.
And they didn't understand his zanpakuto ability yet, right? So it's useless
"Hey Kyoraku weird thing but have you ever heard about Aizens shikai"
@@Alekranidos09 They did they just didn't know the full degree to which it worked.
Completely agree. Did a disservice to Yoruichi at the end of the series. I choose to forget the last arc for things like this. It honestly feels like it should of ended with Aizen arc.
Fans for all of Bleach: "Yoruichi is an excellent example of how to do an independent female character right."
Kubo at the end of Bleach: "Lmao sexy cat go prr"
Maybe a future video on the Kidou Corps and what became of them, Tessai and Hachi? IMO not having Tessai, leader of the damn Kidou Corps, not being involved in the last arc at ALL was a missed opportunity. We at least got to see Hachi in action, but nothing of his superior. We saw glimpses of his ability in TBTP’s arc, but that teleportation Kidou would have been perfect for Urahara/Yoruichi/Grimmjow/Yujiro vs Askin’s final moments.
Anyway, love me some Yoruichi. Such a badass, and so absurdly hot. Purple hair and dark, tanned skin? Oh hell yeah.
Look how smug my guy is when he says the “coolest cat” line 😂 but man without a doubt Yoruichi is still one of my favourite female characters of all time! 🐱
Aaronirero for me he always had the most interesting design out of the Espada and id like to see how you deep dive into the character
I don’t know why but whenever you say Pernida i find it immensely satisfying
No reason to send her to Hueco Mundo. Isshin, Urahara, and Yoruichi had coordinated attacks to fight Aizen. All three of them only had one opponent they were looking at, none other mattered. And honestly it seemed like it was that from the very beginning. The three of them could have stopped any Karakura Town invasion by themselves until the Fake Karakura Town arc. But they didn't. They could have helped in the Lost Agent arc as well, but they didn't.
Anyway, I always felt her character took a shift down when it relied on Urahara so much. Do you know how many characters she bounced off of in Soul Society? Kuukaku. Byakuya. Soi-Fon. Ichigo. And I believe even Aizen had a very quick word with her when she and Soi-Fon restrained him. None of her character had to rely on Urahara and that was why she was at her best.
My biggest gripe with the final arc is Urahara needing to get involved in her fight and what, smacking her ass or some crap. And pretty much turning her submissive to him or something. And following his orders. News Flash, she's more experienced than him. Him being smart can only carry him so far. I find his best interactions are his brief ones with Mayuri. Or even his ones with Aizen.
Yuushiro. Wasn't he going to deliver something to Yoruichi? Like some Golden Armor or something? That was something. And yeah his introduction was a bit shaky, but they could've done more with him. Like do you know how surprised I was when he busted out Fire Shunko out of nowhere? I thought that was completely unnecessary and actively took away from Soi-Fon and Yoruichi. We could've learned more about the Shihoin side of things. Like how Yoruichi was doing her best to keep the Soul King together? That's the type of stuff her family should've been ready for and Yuushiro should've been that way more than Fire Shunko boy.
As far as her Zanpakutou? I like that she didn't use it. She never did in the past so why do it now? It's the same thing I have about Aizen. I see a lot of people wondering where his Bankai is. And it's like. . .not necessary. There are other things about the characters that take precedent IMO. I absolutely loved her Lightning God form. It kept up the fact that she was still so far ahead of Soi-Fon who kind of just recently unlocked a wind release (you know what i mean.) I thought that was really cool. The cat form was . . . something. There are a thousand ways for Kubo to . . .not insult her with it's introduction, but he did.
Last thing I want to say about Yoruichi is my favorite scene with her is when Ichigo finds out she has a little brother and he's surprised and accusatory towards her for not letting him know. And she just goes "What? You gonna put a ring on it or something?" (Paraphrasing) That was such an amazing line that encompassed Yoruichi's character to a T.
Anyway, Nice video. She's one of my favorite characters in Bleach and was my favorite character through the Soul Society.
Ohhh ok
I doubt the part where you said she has more experience than Urahara; Urahara’s past is still a mystery for the most part even in turn back the pendulum it seems Urahara is usually the one responsible for most assassination missions and at some point he was appointed a part of the Prison guards and then he had more to do even compared to Yoruichi at that point and somehow he still has time to do his research. Not to mention Tessai and Yoruichi treat Urahara not only as a friend but in some ways a superior. Out of the three it seems urahara is the leader when it came to their little group even when they were young Kisuke had been responsible for almost everything they have, the hotspring, the training, whether it be out of respect, love, loyalty Tessai and Yoruichi high ranking officers that have established their names in Soul Society sooner than Urahara, still sacrificed everything they had just to protect and save Urahara. Slight spoiler in the Can’t fear your own world novel which is a canon sequel even Kubo himself had given it the green light; the final chapters which include Urahara and Yoruichi; Yoruichi was concerned over Kisuke’s safety when Hisagi made an impression of why Kisuke made the Hogyoku, and Yoruichi addresses Urahara with “Lord” whether this was a mistranslation their conversation still shows how she is willing to protect him even going as far as killing the Shinigamis they considered Allies if they knew too much about his past or true motives heck it was Kisuke not Yoruichi who planned Tokinada ( Main Antagonist of the sequel novel) to get assassinated which shows that Yoruichi followed his order to have Tokinada killed for what he consider good for all of Soul Society.
Why do we have 2 Lightning zanpakutos, 2 fires zanpakutos and 2 ice zanpakutos but not a single water zanpakuto?
@@yamatonoryuujin4871 We do know enough about their past though. Turning Back the Pendulum showed that Yoruichi is the one who recommended Urahara for the role of Captain when the previous captain was promoted to Squad Zero. And when Urahara was framed and going to be another victim of Aizen, it was Yoruichi who came to save the day.
Moreso, we know that she was Commander in chief of the Onmitsukido while Urahara's highest role was Corps Commander. Most of the time she outranked him and had a grander reputation than him in Soul Society. That's mostly because of her family lineage, but that is more reason as to why her becoming more tied to him limited what her character was initially.
@@risersin7957 no we don’t; you’re only stating on what happened 200 years or so ago, pendulum the arc is not their full past history as even that is holding back on Urahara’s history in soul society we didn’t even see what he accomplished with the RnD department for those 3 yrs. before the incident occured, and even if Yoruichi was Captain of the onmitsukido, it doesn’t really tell us the full backstory between her, Urahara, Tessai, and Kukaku.
Again while Urahara’s highest position was Corps commander he had a lot of freedom so much so that he can choose missions and create missions of his own and Yoruichi wouldn’t bat an eye showing to us how much faith she has in his abilities and judgement but also how much respect she has for his experience that she doesn’t question it at all, but even the nature of that is weird he was a third seat not a lieutenant and he already had such great freedom compared to others meaning Urahara wanted that position and stayed in that position ‘till Yoruichi recommended him to captain, because as Yamamoto put it she wouldn’t stop bragging about his abilities in her report; notice how when Yoruichi told him, he wasn’t really shocked, for a guy who wasn’t second in command he was confident it was him who was recommended. Another thing to note was before Soi fon arrived Kisuke was already discussing something with Yoruichi about the exams most likely as she only knew about his mission when a member reported back to Urahara.
Another thing to note was at that point most of his best friends or closest friends likely had high ranking positions within SS: Tessai was a captain, Yoruichi was a captain, and Kukaku might’ve once been a captain or something equal to that lvl or she was retired at that point due to her injuries since according to Shinji during their time there were a lot of Changes between the captain of divisions, Love for example was only promoted to captain 3 yrs. before Pendulum arc began but even that isn’t clear who the previous captains were; So yeah Pendulum arc isn’t really reliable.
Then there’s Tokinada teasing Yoruichi about how much she doesn’t know and how much Urahara has kept from everyone about his knowledge of the Soul King and how the world works.
The Hollow experiments he must’ve conducted because again as I pointed out he already knew the process of Hollowfication when confronting Aizen which shocked even Tessai and Shinji, the creation of his Hogyoku we don’t even know how and most likely all three of his closest friends never knew it existed at all. Tessai was shocked; Yoruichi most likely only knew when they reached the Human world and Kukaku probably only knew when Yoruichi told her.
Then there’s their childhood to adolescence Kisuke built the underground training facility beneath the sokyoku hill with no one even knowing about it, but also the Healing springs he placed there...the weird thing is that nowhere in soul society could you find such healing springs it was only ever mentioned in the Soul King Palace as a certain Zero squad member pointed out “Kisuke must’ve created those same waters when he analyzed my Hot springs water.” Implying that Kisuke was able to enter the Soul King’s palace before Pendulum arc how? Ichibe Himself trusts Urahara and his decisions but then again it’s most likely because He and Kisuke have similar personalities and beliefs.
So no Pendulum arc isn’t even showing us the full extent of Yoruichi’s growth as a character for the most part it only delves in the Vizard’s relationship, and the tiniest hints of Kisuke’s character history and his major growth in that arc alone. Their childhood was barely mentioned and how someone like Kisuke and Tessai were able to play in her Mansion when they’re not even members of the Noble houses like Kukaku, their times together as well is a mystery again Kisuke was the leader of their group you could even feel it in the current story, Tessai even calls him with honorifics, Yoruichi doesn’t question and follows what he instructs unless she’s being grumpy towards him, Kukaku as she said in SS can’t ignore a request from Kisuke since he’s involved. All pendulum arc did was bring us up to speed with what happened and why they were exiled. Nothing about their past before the *incident (oh was suppose to mean the arc not incident srry) was ever revealed.
Keep pushing out these vids! We love em
Honestly since the reveal that some Zanpakutō's are passed down along family generations, such as with Nanao Ise use of Shinken Hakkyōken, I have felt that in all likelihood this to be the case with Yoruichi's. She probably left it in the family house for Yūshirō to take up once he was old enough to properly wield it.
She has/had her own Zampakuto. She doesn't like using it, and the Spirit of her zampakuto is angry at her(this is from the "Can't Fear Your Own World" light novel)
@@exequielbreton4393 Yes thats true although the ancestral zanpakuto theory is also plausible, in my opinion. We just have to wait until Kubi properly make a story out of it. Remember that Kubo isnt exactly the best man to make connect the dots in Bleach timeline despite being the creator of Bleach universe himself.
I've never understood the idea of the yourichi, kysuke beyond friends thing since it's made clear there are not even in there fight with aizen she punched him when thinking that he her best friend was looking at her legs and in the askin fight was caught off guard and kick his jaw thinking he hit her but and behind the comment he made. Obviously showing that's not something they do. And personality that's something I like when not every guy and girl friendship has to turn into a romance
Yoruichi is awesome she’s easily one of the best female characters in bleach and just in general one of the best characters in bleach.
Thank you. I thought I was the only one who didn't like the treatment of Yoruichi in the final ark. To be perfectly clear, I regard Yoruichi as the most attractive female character in Bleach and I do enjoy her looks, but seeing her being degraded to a full fan service mode, both art-wise but more importantly - being turned into a full cat-person, and worse than that - being robbed of her agency and self-control, that felt awkward to me. She was always the most capable female character in the series, always in control, always being cool headed and having a commanding presence. Then she turned into a kawaii neko-girl. It just felt wrong... And she didn't even win the fight - Kisuke was the one to save her. Yoruichi has always been the go-to feminism symbol in Bleach. Being degraded into a submissive, hyper-sexualized form and then getting rescued by a male... I don't even find it sexy. It's her personality and her badassary that makes her so great.
Glad that at least somebody is calling this out! It pissed me off so much.
Couldn't care less for various reasons. Her thunder cat form is one of my favorite and one of my most powerful and upgraded characters by far in Brave Souls. Level 4 special attack too.
Ugh, anime fans bitching about fanservice. What do you think you're watching. Touch grass, sheesh.
fuck feminism but that firm is great. I just wished we seen it a little bit more.
Meh, its not all that big of a deal, Yoruichi sexually degrades teenagers (and Soi-fon) on a semi-regular basis so turnabout is fair play in all honesty. Funny that the "go-to feminism symbol" is apparently a pervy lecher. Just saying, if Kisuke 'joked' with Orihime, Ichigo and Soi-fon the way that Yuruichi does it would be condemned as disgusting sexist misogyny (in fact I've heard people claim Kisuke is all of that even though his pervy jokes are far tamer and rarer than hers and also never target people who are under age) in a heartbeat, but its apparently aspirational when a woman does it. Kind of confusing honestly, either fan service and pervy jokes are okay or they aren't, full stop, and one of the main characters who subjects other characters to being the butt of said jokes absolutely deserves to become the butt of such a joke herself at least once in the series.
I just love the way she kicked yammi in the head
Lol I've been doing a marathon of your videos today and just when I'm done you drop a new one on my favourite bleach waifu
Yorucihi is a favorite female manga character of mine. Not because she is written well but because of what she accomplished/potential. I really gotta commend her for still being captain level without a shinigami main weapon
The cfyow novel exposed a side yoruichi I never thought I'd see. She asked kisuke if he wants her to kills hisagi. I was like wtf. Yoruichi no.1 female still
That made me like her even more
Yeah why she wants to kill hisagi?
@@chrome450 From what I remember she didn't say kill but erase his memories because he found about about how the soul king came to be and Urahara said it was fine that he knew
Such a Royalty. Love you, Yoruichi!
My head canon has always been the reason no one was using their bankai in the fight against Aizen is because they were all afraid of his hypnosis ability being used to trick them into attacking each other.
Great video! Just remember Kubo was rushed to end this arc.
Yoruichi is the kind of cool we all wish we were.
Yoruichi and Harribel are EASILY the hottest bleach characters come at me
I absolutely agree, I love both of them
I wonder what happened to Harribel after she was captured by the Quincy during the beginning of TYBW, there isn't any info which hints on what happened to her afterwards, whether she died shortly after her capture or she escaped after Yhwach was defeated and the war ended
@@ahsanvirk130 That’s probably Kubo’s fault for not showing us Harribel once more during the aftermath of the war. He had to rush the final arc because of his illness. And if I have to take a guess that she’s recovering her strength after being chained up.
Kisuke and yoruichi have become two of my favorite anime characters I love those two .😅
I can already smell the 20k arriving
Yeah... Kubo dropped the ball in the end, sadly enough. Definitely one of the best characters in the series reduced to that. Also... that "brother" is dead & buried. =P As for the battle against Aizen, erh... my take on it is that Aizen's reiatsu was already dangerously toxic before his many morphs. Iow, using full power could mean no reiatsu left to protect their bodies. Orrrrr.... they were aware of the continual upgrade potential.
I'm pretty sure that kisuke is sleeping with both yoruichi and tessai 🤣
Kisuke is holding artificial bodies if all the main characters and sleeping with them all, with his own little mod soul role player
Kisuke-N-Furter?...
Now that you mention it, Kisuke does give me pansexual vibes
Why do we have 2 Lightning zanpakutos, 2 fires zanpakutos and 2 ice zanpakutos but not a single water zanpakuto?
@@lorddukfoxyzeppeli7921 we've only got one lightning zanpakuto
I wish she got more fights/screen time
Great work Tommo hope to see more of you!
Kubo decided to do that because of two reasons. Fans have always wanted/thought there was some kind of love triangle between Soi Fon, Yoruchi and Kiskue. And he needed to give her some kind of Bankai level upgrade to fight while still within her realm of possibility but he never gave her a zanpakto. He said she cast it away so he couldn't think of a way for her to have it again and what powers it would have last minute. SO he made her an electric catgirl.
Your Welcome I mean sometimes we be smashin close friends so...
There was never any romance between Soi Fontaine and Yoruichi at any point. Soi Fon was a child and student of Yoruichi that looked up to her in an unhealthy obsessive way that Yoruichi never reciprocated. Her and Kiskue were lovers and had been for a long time. Soi Fon hated Kiskue because Yoruichi not only liked him more but loved him and she knew she would never receive the same attention from Yoruichi, she was left without a second thought from Yoruichi who gave up her nobility to live with Kiskue in a shitty part of town on earth selling candy. They had far more than a friendship which is more than hinted at by Kiskues statement of being familiar with her ass in the air and the way she acted in her thunder cat form.
@Frozen Monster Definitely lovers.
It's called the stealth force for a Reason you know. About the use of a zanpaktou by yourichi you forget the main criteria to be in the stealth force is ability to fight In hand to hand combat. Even soifon mentioned how she detested her bankai because of its shape and huge size going against the philosophy of the stealth force hence why her shikai was preferred in line with the stealth required to strike her opponent in the same place twice.
Hands down she is one of the best female characters in shonen jump if not the best
I like how he barely explained how animal transformation works in the universe. Adds to the mystery in a good way imo. There are many examples of Kubo not explaining something and making it worse but this isn't one of those. I think Bankai's and this are some of the best utilized mysteries in the series.
Is it bad that once I get my project car done, I'm getting a Yoruichi wrap done on my hood bc she's Waifu af 😂
There ain’t nothing wrong with that my man
Kalash Kaleb SAME LOL
Blâck Deüs I have nothing but respect for you
@Bob Ross I'll be sure too 😂👌
@Bob Ross I will for sure lmao. It may be a while
Been watching a few of your videos. Love it dude
Thank you!
I want to see a analysis video on YAMAMOTO
Love your videos
19:24- Yeah, Yoruichi was the one female character outside of Rukia to be treated with dignity in battle and not be fodder to the male characters. And she was also largely independent and her own person. The last fight she was in reduced her to Kisuke’s attack animal against her will and really undermines their friendship as he can apparently make her do this at any point. It really sours the relationship and makes it much more unhealthy than it initially appeared.
Same
You do realize the only reason Kiskue was able to transform her to that is because she gave him the ability right? That's not something he pulled out of his ass, it's not something Benihime can do. She gave Kiskue the ability to transform into that out of love and trust knowing he would only do it if there was no other choice as a last resort. Despite her never wanting to personally use it she knew there might come a time where it would be absolutely necessary for her and his survival and knowing she could never make the choice herself regardless of the outcome she gave the ability to do so and the decision making for when it would be done.
Epic breakdown Mr.Tommo!
I’ve always thought Yoruichi’s Zanpaktou is just not actually useful for combat which is why she neglects it. Similar to Soifon’s Bankai being useless and conflicting with her fight style.
Loved the video analysis as usual! Would love to see a video on Aaroniero. Havent seen many videos on him in the community!
I think she partly left because Soi Fon was always doubting her abilities, because she left it forced So Fon to get stronger and overcome her insecurities to become the best fighter she could be. Yoruichi knew that if she stayed Soi Fon would always remain insecure with her abilities, but we see that because she left, it gave Soi Fon a reason to get stronger, much stronger than she could have gotten with Yoruichi.
That's just my idea on why Yoruichi could leave Soi Fon and not feel bad about it, because in the end doing that, made her a stronger more capable warrior.
by left her they were never together it was just friends
She left Soi Fon because she loved Kiskue and cared about him more, plus Soi Fon is an uptight see you next Tuesday who hated Kiskue because Yoruichi liked him more and wasn't into girls.
@@A_Black_Sheep94 wait she was in love with kisuke and also i don’t get there post break up are they still close
@@A_Black_Sheep94also do you think yoruichi is into girls
@@braedenbrightharp9915 Yea they're close in a student teacher fashion, though Soi Fon clearly had an unhealthy love obsession with her that Yoruichi has never reciprocated which is why Soi Fon detests Kiskue so much. No I don't think Yoruichi is into girls in the slightest and has never shown interest in any of them.
First: My vote to Sajin Komamura!
I just had a few things that I wanted to mention, I LOVE your work, you go in-depth and have a great degree of analysis. But I'd say that there are just a few things (from my personal opinion, since I can't pretend I have grounds to say these are pure facts). I'd say the Shunko-cat form is paramount to showing what makes Yoruichi a bit more unique and shows a regard tot he fact that she's still that frighteningly powerful despite not having her zanpakuto (though I never found that cool, I wanted to see it, ha ha). It is very fan servicey but that's not new to Shonen-Jump characters or manga (so to me no big deal).
The inclusion of her little brother Yushiro was important in my eyes, though a secondary character purely: its to show how the Shihoin Clan is carrying on beyond Yoruichi's departure over a century ago. Sure it was silly and had some moments, but to see him confirmed at least two things: Despite appearances, he's fairly powerful and quite handy at Hakuda like his sister (I liken it to a clan specialty, though I suppose I might be reaching a bit there) and she recently taught him shunko, yet he was able to wield it pretty handily in a short time. It just means the clan is in good hands (though he seems a bit naive, it also gave Askin more cool points for defeating so many people and serves as a purpose to show how his 'immunity' works. Same with Yoruichi's cat-form dominating him: pre-Vollstandig form).
And just a last thought of mine is honestly, they'd made sure to allow other characters time to shine (it was cheap to her, but I suppose it felt that she fell back: but I'm glad that she did get in again).
BURN THE WITCH 1st chapter in two weeks with 57 pages. It's gonna have 4 chapters in total. Short series but I hope it's cool.
I was waiting for this one. Probably my favorite female in anime
Same and also Rukia
"Idk y Kubo decided to do that" is what we all said during the entire 1000 yr war arc. Almost no fight was satisfying & half the series still goes unexplained
@LioSlayer Yup there's soooo many shoulda went moments in TYBW that it almost ruins the story
Yes been waiting for this!!! one of my fav characters!
Love Yoruichi a lot, but I dislike how sidelined she got in the second half of the series.
Also my vote is for Komamura. I'm interested in whether or not you agree that the power-up he received was taken away from him too quickly.
Kisuka and Yoruichi most likely testing the weapons she used against Aizen.
I’m glad I found this channel ❤️
I disagree that Yoruichi didn't think about her relationship with Soi Fon. I think Yoruichi understood that the path she was going on would lead her into being an enemy of the soul society. She viewed Urahara and Tessai as peers--peers who had already lost everything. But I could never see Yoruichi putting Soi Fon in the line of fire that way because she is her mentor. Thats why I think when Soi Fon, at the end of their fight, screams "Why didnt u take me with you?!" its supposed to hit harder. Because the student doesn't understand that what the mentor did was ultimately to keep her out of harms way.
Y'all know this series been around since 2004 same year my son was born wow! My son literally grew up to love this show.
Maybe her Zanpakuto is bound to her clan, and she probably left it behind without a second thought ...
every four great noble clans have their own ancestral zanpakuto however each members of each clans have the ability to imprint their soul onto the asauchi and obtain their own zanpakuto
Would love a video on Retsu Unohana!
I believe her Zanpakuto is something she doesn’t prefer, making her more overtly girly, refined or relies on more Kidō based powers- which she doesn’t like as a tomboyish, physical fighter.
Why describe a female as effeminate?
Lando Bleu meant to say girly, refined and ladylike- sort of like a noblewoman, which Yoruichi wants to avoid.
urahara and everyone didn't appear in the lost agent arc because they were busy trying to get ichigo's power's back. I think they did a good job of establishing that, at least in the anime.
Wonder what her Shikai and Bankai would have been!
Thank you for yhis! Yoruichi is the wifu from bleach and easily top 3 of anyone's character list
Yoruichi is best girl in Bleach and one of the best in all fiction, be it anime/manga or otherwise. She's witty, badass and sexy. I hope the anime expands on her role in TYBW and makes her fight with Askin a little less fanservicey and showcase more of her awesome power. Here's hoping she gets a good role to play in the upcoming Hell manga arc. Princess Thundercat deserves as much love as the male characters like Byakuya and Urahara.
Joining the discord to see the video earlier? Absolutely.
