I don't know if you know this about bankais and shikais . They tend to be opposites is theme . Shunsuis shikais turns child's games into reality . And his bankai makes grown ups games reality ( theatric plays ) and I strongly believe that he has multiple bankais the same way he has multiple shikais games . Cuz uk there's more than one play in the world .
Btw Michael, when you talked about Shunsui’s bankai having different acts/phases, you forgot about Rose’s bankai! Yama’s and Senjumaru’s bankai had different acts but Rose’s too! I still think that Rose should have won that battle against mask, to me it was bullshit that he lost😂
@ I actually talk about that towards the end portion of the video brother 23:43 I love that just like Yama and Senjumaru’s it comes in phases Roses mistake I guess was explaining his Bankai to Mask he should have just packed him up😂
The reason why Shunsui asks if the world seems dark and lonely is because in the manga Shunsui's bankai cast the entire palace into near darkness and gave chills to the everyone in it. This was likely changed to the yellow background seen in the anime due to the sky already being dark and cause it matches the backdrop of a traditional Japanese play.
yeah but in the manga they explain that the sky is not actually dark, they just feel like the sky looks darker and erie the bankai is not directly effect environment but the felling to percept environment, i find that really cool
I wish the sky went black tho that would've been absolutely terrifying but sadly that couldn't be done becasue the sky was already dark, I was wondering how they'd do ever since they stepped into warwhelt
Shunsui’s Bankai is portrayed as a stage play called "The Tragic Love of Two Lovers." In the first act, the damage is equally divided, symbolizing the sorrow of the couple who cannot be together. In the second act, a virus breaks out, representing the male protagonist’s long-lasting sorrow and terminal illness. In the third act, both characters reduce their spiritual pressure together, symbolizing the lovers’ pact to die together (“sinju” in Japanese that specifically refers to lovers' suicides). In the fourth act, a clean break occurs, symbolizing the male protagonist’s regret halfway through his suicide, and the female protagonist kills him with her own hands.
Oh I always saw the play between an abusive husband (not mentally well) and a victim woman: the sharing of wounds is the husband regretting what he did so he hurts himself the same way he hurt his wife , the virus in the manga is called the bed of shame and represents the husband’s regret and guilt for hurting his wife (depression being the disease) then the husband attempts to reconcile with his wife but both are in a deep depression as the wife leaves him unwilling to listen to him and he ends himself after she’s left
@@adrianfigueroa6788that's a great explanation but I would say for the 4th act instead of her leaving, it would be that the wife sliced the husband's throat. But I still don't get why act 3 was needed then😅
Also, lille barro recognising the game red light green light as 'chocolate inglés' gives hint to his original heritage as this is how they call the game in brazil, kubo was always culturally on point. That is such a little known fact outside of brazil, yet he pinpointed it!! One of the greatest magakas ever!!
I hadn't made that connection! Also interesting that if Lille was in fact the first to be given such power by Yhwack, that he started in Brazil. I had guessed Northern Africa or the Middle East given Yhwacks backstory and ancient origins, but it seems that was wrong.

His bankai is a reference to the theater telling a tragedy. It makes sense considering that shikai is the outer side of the soul and personality while bakai is the deep interior. A playful, childish person who doesn't seem serious at all but is a cold leader who is still tormented by losses and difficult decisions. This is shusui.
One of the many fights us true bleach fans have been waiting years to see animated. We have been eating so good this season and we’re not even done yet.
Apologies for the delay guys you know how it goes I’ve tried to upload this video 5 times and it kept getting blocked🚫 cause of the sound in the video so I’ve been re-editing it to try and make it go through and that’s why it’s taken awhile hope you understand😁…either way we are here for peak Shunsui’s Bankai was worth the wait it was sick🔥
Shunsui's Shikai: "Play" in children term. Shunsui's Bankai: "Play" in grown up term. Starrk was lucky Ukitake intervened the fight. If Shunsui unleashed his Bankai in FKT, everyone except Yamamoto and probably Aizen will be dead
What? Why would everyone have died? We saw that everyone was caught in it yet only the quincy was targeted. Clearly he can only have one target in his Bankai, since the play is played by 2 actors
@viniciusgrosse1958 It's an area of effect Bankai that affects everyone in the area. If Shunsui can choose one person he could've just done it and choose Starrk as that one person. Everyone can feel it but they're outside the range of the Bankai to take effect

Are you anime only? He still has to show more, what made me love him more and have him as my top 3 hasn't appeared in the anime yet. Just wait a bit longer
Lille Barro deems himself God’s Holy Messenger. He said himself he is Yhwach’s masterpiece. His form, while it is weird looking, it is meant to resemble a Biblical accurate depiction of an Angel or Seraphim. Once you realize what Kubo is going for then the form actually works and is indeed meant to be “godly” or something divine.. a form we mere mortals are not meant to understand.
Yup and if u didn’t notice after Shunsui activates his bankai Lille shows his new legs and resembles the pokemon arceus who is meant to be the “god” of pokemon. cool detail fs
I won’t lie bro, i have seen many reactors but none the less you are my most fav coz you put so much hardwork in knowing every detail of the story that also never knew. It’s like I’m watching ep but with different perspectives 🫶
First Starrk, then Robert Accutrone and now Lille Barro, there's officially a trio, also Shunsui pulled off an opening thread from demon slayer with that last act 🤣
Accurate and epic. Also of topic 🔝🎩🎩📴🎩🎩 🔝 wouldn't be crazy if Ychwaches mom was a fallen angel ( nephilem) or demon. I know aim wrong but be good low 🔅 suble tease to the hell arc.
Another good example of seeing spiritual pressure sense without sight. Is when Ginjo cut Ichigo's eyes during the fullbring training. And it's similar to Pesqiesa the hollows use. If you remember Ulquiorra said Yammy should master it, and Vasto Lord Ichigo slip through.
@@MichaelAngeloMANyup. Kubo has said that he can have infinite plays and acts in his bankai as long as they make sense in the context of the theatre. He can have never ending acts until his reiatsu wears out. Or he runs out his opponent's reiatsu. His bankai is a great test of endurance and adaptability.
@@chercher304 Kubo said no such thing, it's purely a rumor. The name of the Bankai (Karamatsu Shinju) is a reference to the story he told, so it's likely the only play he has.
the love for Bleach. If it wasn't for the filler-canon of the Zanpakuto rebelion arc, this would been the first time people would see Shunsui Zanpakuto spirit design.
When Shunsui said he hope he weak, so he can die instantly. It is makes me remember of Stark who also hope he weak, but in his case he don't want anybody around him dies
I'm a struggling 25yo dude with no stable job but watching the recent episode of Daima and TYBW had me teared up a little. It's like a little kid within me came back after a long time and was able to feel joy and hype again (sorry for being so dramatic but in the big 3, I started watching Bleach, then Naruto, and then One Piece until the Alabasta arc)
out of all the anime and especially the bleach reactors you are by far my favourite! All the details you catch is amazing since I feel a lot of people miss and your reactions are so pure! I'm also happy that you actually watch the entire episode even the Kubo poems at the end and the art style at the very very end too :D
Ima explain the plot that shunsui's bankai tells: So some context, his shikai is based on children's games and his bankai is based on theatre plays for adults. We know this because the play shunsui is telling is a suicide story of a couple, a man and a woman. Lillie Barro is the man, Shunsui is the woman. In Act 1: because the man hit the woman, he feels great shame as if the wounds he inflicted he can also feel them (and it becomes real damage). Act 2: the man starts feeling even worse for what he did and develops a sickness because of this great shame. Act 3: as a way to atone the man drops into a endless ocean hoping to drown and the woman also drowns with him because she pities him. However, the man becomes a coward, starting to swim up to the surface abandoning his promise to drown along with the woman. Act 4: As a result of all this, the woman wanting to get rid of the man's regret and cowardness, cuts his throat.
I find it weird how they had shunsui's explanation of what reikaku is completely cut from the anime, despite him mentioning the usage of it anyway. It's probably going to confuse a lot of anime only viewers who dont bother to look it up
As the Captain Commander of Thirteen Court Guards Kyoraku Shunsui perpendicularly puts down his Zanpakutos, he unleashes his Monstrous Beautiful BANKAI: KATENKYOKOTSU KARAMATSUSHINJU (Flower Crazed Heaven Bone Spirit Withered Pine Love Suicide), whoever is in the radius of his Bankai gets affected, The Bankai starts similar to how an old Japanese drama starts with an "YOOOO", Pine trees starts crawling out and thus the area in his Bankai becomes backdrop of a Japanese drama with the swirl patterns and then follows an adult story. This is a 100% guaranteed Bankai, no one in the radius can get out of it, and once started, they can't get out of it unless the Bankai ends
Lille’s holy form is that of a biblical accurate angel which is why he said he’s the closest to god and also in the Bible it says when you see that of an angel you tremble in fear which is why shunsui said he couldn’t move
People have been saying "in the manga Shunsui's bankai cast darkness across the battlefield." That's not true. In the manga, it doesn't cast or creat darkness. It just gives people the perception that it's dark because it makes them feel gloomy and gives the chills. But the sky never actually darkens.
Ello There! I don't think i saw anyone post the full explanation of his bankai so here ya go! Bankai Special Ability: Upon release, an aura covers a large area around Shunsui. This aura changes others' perception of the surrounding environment, making them perceive it as darkened, bleak and gloomy, and causes others to feel varying levels of melancholy and despair. While active, the Bankai will manifest into a tragic play with attacks featuring suicidal reenactments as different acts of the overarching narrative. Ichidanme: Tameraikizu no Wakachiai (一段目 躊躇疵分合, Act the First: Hesitance and Apportionment of Wounds): Any wounds that Shunsui or his opponent inflict on each other's body will emerge on their body as well, as if shared. Shunsui compares this to the story of a man who suffers from the same wounds as his partner, but cannot die from them. Nidanme: Zanki no Shitone (二段目 慚愧の褥, Act the Second: The Pillow of Shame): Black spots appear all over the body of Shunsui's opponent, causing them to bleed profusely. Continuing his story, Shunsui likens this to the man feeling shame after wounding his partner, causing him to collapse in shame and become incurably ill. Sandanme: Dangyo no Fuchi (三段目 断魚淵, Act the Third: The Severing Abyss): A massive amount of water engulfs both Shunsui and his opponent, who remain within it until one of them runs out of Reiatsu and drowns. Shunsui compares this to the two characters from his story, who both hurl themselves into gushing waters. Shime no Dan: Itokiribasami Chizome no Nodobue (〆の段 糸切鋏血染喉, Final Act: Thread-Cutting Scissors upon a Blood-Streaked Throat): After sheathing his swords, Shunsui winds a white thread around his opponent's throat multiple times before pulling it taut, leaving a deep cut in their throat that expands before blowing up their head. Completing his story, he likens this to the regretful man's partner ignoring his pleas and mercilessly shearing his throat.
The initial ability Shunsui uses, "Daruma-san ga kuru-n da" is basically just the Japanese version of Red Light Green Light (think, the game in Squid Game where they run towards that creepy doll) xD
I love his stylish Bankai, so let me explain a bit. I use a translation app because I'm Japanese. Sorry for my poor Englis. Shinju is a method of suicide practiced by ancient Japanese couples to show how much they loved each other and at the same time to confirm how unchanging that love was. It seems crazy from today's ethical point of view, but the amazing thing is that there were actually people who did this up until the early modern period. Then,that means Katenkyokotsu symbolizes children's game but Katenkyokotsu karamatsu sinju symbolizes Adults "game". His Bankai has the ability to conceptually kill enemy by following the flow of a sinju. And what I like is that his bankai is based on the 7-5 rhythm. The 7-5 rhythm is a way of speaking and writing using only seven-syllable and five-syllable words, and is a method of expression used in stage plays and poetry. This makes Japanese people feel that words have a good rhythm. All of his lines during Bankai,title of act,Bankai's name are in 7-5 rhythm. If you listen to his lines, you can hear his distinctive rhythm. Furthermore, his poem last week was in the tanka style, a typical Japanese form of poetry that uses 7-5 rhythm. Lastly,translate each word,it will look like these. ・Karamatsu(枯松) : Withered pine tree ・Tameraikizu No Wakachiai(躊躇疵分合) : Couple hurt each other in an attempt to commit suicide (but can't die) ・Zanki No Shitone(慚愧の褥) : The blanket of shame One thing to note is that this is the only coined term. ・Dangyo No Fuchi (断魚淵) "Fuchi" (淵) means "Pool" or "Abyss" but there is no Japanese word "Dangyo" (断魚). However, 「断(Dan)」is possible to read"Kotowari" so It can be assumed that this is related to Ukitake's "Sogyo No Kotowari"(双魚理). By the way,"Gyo"(魚) means "Fish". It gives off a sense of water and uses the same kanji as Ukitake's Zanpakuto. ・Itokiribasami Chizome No Nodobue(糸切鋏血染喉) : Thread cutting scissors and Blood-stained throat Each one shows the process of sinju, and each one is explained in detail by Kyoraku in video. This is getting long but thank you for reading!
As a manga reader i wait+10years for this episode what a masterpieace and michael,if they keep doing those masterpiece you are not ready for whats come next i cant wait 2 see your reaction😂🎉
Watching a Bleach fan freak out as these Bankai's are revealed it brings SUCH joy to me because I see the honesty in it. Watching that smile and that glee form on your face as you know you're about to get a treat is brilliant!
23:34 Its not that they would feel despair but they would become part of his play (Just like how Lille became without knowing) . His Bankai is like a sure hit effect with no miss . Once activated friends and foes , all become a part of his play that's why he can't use it with allies around (Just like Shinji) His Shikai makes children's games into reality . His Bankai is basically where he becomes the author of a play he forces his opponent in and writes his opponents end which keeps becoming reality . He just used four acts here but I am pretty sure he can have as many acts as he wants . This makes his Bankai really broken . btw fun fact Kubo was once asked if Shunsui's Bankai could defeat Aizen before Aizen became immortal and he didn't provided the answer to leave it to fans .
You guys don't even know how Op this episode was, and how Shunsui Bankai is, fun fact his Bankai was was animated by 4 directors Shunsui is That Guy and I'm so happy Pirreot films brought it to life so perfectly I shed a tear.
Yet some people will complains that the bankai is lame and I saw a lot of it saying the studio fumble this eps, manga better, the colour doesn’t fit, the fight is too short, too many yapping, no choreography and ‘Sakuga’ mfs like always.
Shunsui has been my favorite character throughout the series from the first time I saw him, and although his fun personality, pink kimono, and drunkenness, along with his fondness for women, always made him seem like a basic funny side character, but I knew deep down that he harbored great power. And now, after 20 years of Bleach, it's incredible to watch an animated version of his bankai. Im so proud of you my Sake King, you're my GOAT.
When Katen (or Ohana) said, "That's what you get for wearing another woman's kimono" She was referring to the fact that all Shihakusho and Haori are crafted by Senjumaru.
Was a long waiting, but Kyoraku bankai is here in all his splendor and have Ohana (From Zampakto Rebellion) is back too. Next week in base of Nemu words in the poems, she gonna enter in action.
It's interesting how three of the oldest Soul Reapers all have Bankai that come in parts. Cause we know that a Bankai ages like fine wine, and besides Unohana's being way more straightforward, all the older characters do have Bankai with multiple stages. Yamamoto, Senjumaru and now even Shunsui. So interesting.
their bankais have long incantations like those of squad zero members.Probably most elaborate and '' rule based" if we could say that.Yama, ichibe,senjumaru et al.
My 2nd favorite character in the series finally shows his bankai. Katen Kyōkotsu Karamatsu Shinju translates to Flower Crazed Heaven Bone Spirit Withered Pine Lovers Suicide. The pine part of it you can see when the bankai is activated and how it spreads out like tree branches Each part of the play translates to the following Act the 1st: Hesitance and Appointment of wounds where kyoraku and his opponent effectively share the same wounds Act the 2nd: the Pillow of Shame where black spots appear and burst with illness Act the 3rd: the Severing Abyss where the water appears and their Reiatsu slowly drains till one of them drowns Final act: Thread-cutting scissors upon a blood-streaked throat where he ties the thread around the opponents throat several times and cuts their throat and then they go boom Kyorakus bankai is indiscriminate which means it works on ANYBODY in the area. So if one of the other shinigami had been in the area it would have effected them also. Kinda like Shinji's bankai. Neither likes to use it unless they're alone
Kyoraku Shunsui's Bankai is thought to be based on the 曽根崎心中 which are performances of the puppet show called Bunraku, which was born in the Edo period and Osamu Dazai's suicide by drowning. Osamu Dazai committed suicide by drowning with his mistress. He appears in Bungo Stray Dogs.
That was the line which I mentioned before which makes me think Lille either Spanish or from a colony of theirs. I think chocolate inglés is mainly played in Grenada. I think they play it in Brazil too though that was a Portuguese one I think. Not too well versed in the history of these places. Anyway it’s a random cool detail cause mostly kubo never gives away the nationalities of his characters. Although he said he had an Italian man in mind when designing Shunsui. Anyway the game Shunsui played and chocolate inglés is kinda like red light green light. Seems every region has a variation of that game. Think squid game. Anyway the big elephant in the room is shunsui’s zanpakuto spirit. It was original shown in a filler arc. It’s like the seven swordsman of the mist from Naruto most of them appeared in filler first before canon. In the old anime eps 230-265 Katen kyokotsu’s spirit manifested and the designs are exactly the same as here. Voice actor is different though since the old one took an indefinite hiatus. Shame since she was perfect for the role. New one is great too of course. Shunsui’s bankai is pretty cool in concept. His Shikai is to do with children’s entertainment and his bankai is a play which is adult entertainment. Also it’s based of a fairly famous play about 2 lovers which commit the word I might not be able to say on RUclips beginning with su. So that’s what the powers are based off it’s that play. I do wish they translated the technique names like the manga does.
Shunsui is goated!!! From the time i saw him in the manga when chad first ran into him i knew he would be a cold ass mf. He is some of kubo's best work. Literally the best of duality.
Micheal do you have photographic memory? You only looked at the bankai name for a second and already got all of it. And not even that, the amount of things you remember from other anime’s just blown my mind.

The reason why Shunsui asks if the world seems dark and lonely is because in the manga Shunsui's bankai cast the entire palace into near darkness and gave chills to the everyone in it. This was likely changed to the yellow background seen in the anime due to the sky already being dark and cause it matches the backdrop of a traditional Japanese play.

His subjective reality is OP but also a damn double edge sword
yeah but in the manga they explain that the sky is not actually dark, they just feel like the sky looks darker and erie the bankai is not directly effect environment but the felling to percept environment, i find that really cool
It was never "dark" in the manga. The problem is you can't really color out the effects on a black and white manga.
I wish the sky went black tho that would've been absolutely terrifying but sadly that couldn't be done becasue the sky was already dark, I was wondering how they'd do ever since they stepped into warwhelt
It’s been 8 years since Shunsui first revealed his bankai in the manga back in 2016. Now 8 Years Later it’s finally here gang
And he was also the 8th Captain squad
Actually his Bankai was first revealed in the manga on October 2015
Shunsui’s Bankai is portrayed as a stage play called "The Tragic Love of Two Lovers."
In the first act, the damage is equally divided, symbolizing the sorrow of the couple who cannot be together.
In the second act, a virus breaks out, representing the male protagonist’s long-lasting sorrow and terminal illness.
In the third act, both characters reduce their spiritual pressure together, symbolizing the lovers’ pact to die together (“sinju” in Japanese that specifically refers to lovers' suicides).
In the fourth act, a clean break occurs, symbolizing the male protagonist’s regret halfway through his suicide, and the female protagonist kills him with her own hands.
Perfectly explained

@@Ridku13Same, top 3 since way back
I mean he should've always been one of them, come on 😂
He amzing captain my favorite after Aizen here❤
Fyi, in the manga, Shunsui’s bankai chapter is called “The Theatre Suicide”. It’s about Theatre Performance Stage
Lille Barro deems himself God’s Holy Messenger. He said himself he is Yhwach’s masterpiece. His form, while it is weird looking, it is meant to resemble a Biblical accurate depiction of an Angel or Seraphim. Once you realize what Kubo is going for then the form actually works and is indeed meant to be “godly” or something divine.. a form we mere mortals are not meant to understand.
Yup and if u didn’t notice after Shunsui activates his bankai Lille shows his new legs and resembles the pokemon arceus who is meant to be the “god” of pokemon. cool detail fs
I won’t lie bro, i have seen many reactors but none the less you are my most fav coz you put so much hardwork in knowing every detail of the story that also never knew. It’s like I’m watching ep but with different perspectives 🫶
Neel desai also
@@specialmenubyak5424 no thanks, Michael is enough for me 😂
This is what I say too. I like a lot of reactors but Michael Angelo is my favorite. Very expressive and knowledgeable
shunsui's bankai was done so well. and ohana is mommy
My guy 😂
First Starrk, then Robert Accutrone and now Lille Barro, there's officially a trio, also Shunsui pulled off an opening thread from demon slayer with that last act 🤣
Lille Vollstandig Zelliel turn him into Bibblically Accurate Angel.
Accurate and epic. Also of topic 🔝🎩🎩📴🎩🎩 🔝 wouldn't be crazy if Ychwaches mom was a fallen angel ( nephilem) or demon. I know aim wrong but be good low 🔅 suble tease to the hell arc.
Next form is more like accurate
@@LikablSouL and the chicken form is gonna so goofy🤣
@@RaffiPrima23 thats how angels look like
@@RaffiPrima23so actual angels are goofy?
The Leader of the Royal Guards (Lille) vs the Head of the Court Guards (Kyoraku), this fight is CINEMA!
Jugram haswalth is the grand master of sternritter and he's stronger than lille barro
@nosaidemudia7020 Jugram is not part of the Royal Guards/Schutzstaffel
Another good example of seeing spiritual pressure sense without sight. Is when Ginjo cut Ichigo's eyes during the fullbring training. And it's similar to Pesqiesa the hollows use. If you remember Ulquiorra said Yammy should master it, and Vasto Lord Ichigo slip through.
BTW Shunsuis bankai can have as many acts as he wants, he just only has 4 developed. Yes it's THAT broken
Nahh what 😮
Seriously!?🤯…That’s crazy
@@MichaelAngeloMANyup. Kubo has said that he can have infinite plays and acts in his bankai as long as they make sense in the context of the theatre. He can have never ending acts until his reiatsu wears out. Or he runs out his opponent's reiatsu. His bankai is a great test of endurance and adaptability.
@@HIMSAGI_The_Goatit's true, Kubo said that in his website KlubOutside
@@chercher304 Kubo said no such thing, it's purely a rumor. The name of the Bankai (Karamatsu Shinju) is a reference to the story he told, so it's likely the only play he has.
the love for Bleach. If it wasn't for the filler-canon of the Zanpakuto rebelion arc, this would been the first time people would see Shunsui Zanpakuto spirit design.
Kubo doesn't like to waste anything. Gege with Kenjaku: 👀😬
if you notice shunsui always fight people with gun because it make him act fast
When Shunsui said he hope he weak, so he can die instantly. It is makes me remember of Stark who also hope he weak, but in his case he don't want anybody around him dies
I'm a struggling 25yo dude with no stable job but watching the recent episode of Daima and TYBW had me teared up a little. It's like a little kid within me came back after a long time and was able to feel joy and hype again (sorry for being so dramatic but in the big 3, I started watching Bleach, then Naruto, and then One Piece until the Alabasta arc)
out of all the anime and especially the bleach reactors you are by far my favourite! All the details you catch is amazing since I feel a lot of people miss and your reactions are so pure! I'm also happy that you actually watch the entire episode even the Kubo poems at the end and the art style at the very very end too :D
Ima explain the plot that shunsui's bankai tells:
So some context, his shikai is based on children's games and his bankai is based on theatre plays for adults. We know this because the play shunsui is telling is a suicide story of a couple, a man and a woman.
Lillie Barro is the man, Shunsui is the woman.
In Act 1: because the man hit the woman, he feels great shame as if the wounds he inflicted he can also feel them (and it becomes real damage).
Act 2: the man starts feeling even worse for what he did and develops a sickness because of this great shame.
Act 3: as a way to atone the man drops into a endless ocean hoping to drown and the woman also drowns with him because she pities him.
However, the man becomes a coward, starting to swim up to the surface abandoning his promise to drown along with the woman.
Act 4: As a result of all this, the woman wanting to get rid of the man's regret and cowardness, cuts his throat.
One of the coldest Bankai ever 😮💨
FINALLY OUR GOAT USED HIS BANKAI, This was PEAK, Shunsui is him
i just finished watching this ep 19 times . with you its 20 . loved it sooooooo muuuuuuuuuch
For anybody who doesn't quite understand the game, it's Red Light Green Light for the English speakers.
Bro you googled on spot to understand Reikaku meaning was really glad to me ❤
I find it weird how they had shunsui's explanation of what reikaku is completely cut from the anime, despite him mentioning the usage of it anyway. It's probably going to confuse a lot of anime only viewers who dont bother to look it up
Pulled over on the highway to watch this reaction been waiting for this banger😂🔥🔥🔥
damn.. now that's a real fan🥂🔥
This bankai is a traditional Japanese theatre show saying 1 couples were committing the suicide all because they love each other so deeply.
Japanese tradition usually has that "yooooohh" before the play begins. Also Lille Barros design is reminiscent of a biblical angel
As the Captain Commander of Thirteen Court Guards Kyoraku Shunsui perpendicularly puts down his Zanpakutos, he unleashes his Monstrous Beautiful BANKAI: KATENKYOKOTSU KARAMATSUSHINJU (Flower Crazed Heaven Bone Spirit Withered Pine Love Suicide), whoever is in the radius of his Bankai gets affected, The Bankai starts similar to how an old Japanese drama starts with an "YOOOO", Pine trees starts crawling out and thus the area in his Bankai becomes backdrop of a Japanese drama with the swirl patterns and then follows an adult story.
This is a 100% guaranteed Bankai, no one in the radius can get out of it, and once started, they can't get out of it unless the Bankai ends
Thats crazyy😮
Lille’s holy form is that of a biblical accurate angel which is why he said he’s the closest to god and also in the Bible it says when you see that of an angel you tremble in fear which is why shunsui said he couldn’t move
Damn this makes so much sense
I think the funniest thing to note here is that Shunsui has only fought gun users. First Stark, Robert, and then Lille. Bro can't catch a break lol
Because against others, it will easy win for him
Do you know how long I've been waiting for this? Haha great reaction as always!
People have been saying "in the manga Shunsui's bankai cast darkness across the battlefield."
That's not true. In the manga, it doesn't cast or creat darkness. It just gives people the perception that it's dark because it makes them feel gloomy and gives the chills. But the sky never actually darkens.
True idk where theye even got “in the manga Shunsui bankai cast darkness across the battlefield” such thing
Shunsui and Blackbeard have same VA . now i can imagine Blackbeard saying bankai 😂.
Love 🖤
Michael bro i got chills down my spine when he said bankai 🥶
great episode and great reaction as always
Ello There! I don't think i saw anyone post the full explanation of his bankai so here ya go!
Bankai Special Ability: Upon release, an aura covers a large area around Shunsui. This aura changes others' perception of the surrounding environment, making them perceive it as darkened, bleak and gloomy, and causes others to feel varying levels of melancholy and despair. While active, the Bankai will manifest into a tragic play with attacks featuring suicidal reenactments as different acts of the overarching narrative.
Ichidanme: Tameraikizu no Wakachiai (一段目 躊躇疵分合, Act the First: Hesitance and Apportionment of Wounds): Any wounds that Shunsui or his opponent inflict on each other's body will emerge on their body as well, as if shared. Shunsui compares this to the story of a man who suffers from the same wounds as his partner, but cannot die from them.
Nidanme: Zanki no Shitone (二段目 慚愧の褥, Act the Second: The Pillow of Shame): Black spots appear all over the body of Shunsui's opponent, causing them to bleed profusely. Continuing his story, Shunsui likens this to the man feeling shame after wounding his partner, causing him to collapse in shame and become incurably ill.
Sandanme: Dangyo no Fuchi (三段目 断魚淵, Act the Third: The Severing Abyss): A massive amount of water engulfs both Shunsui and his opponent, who remain within it until one of them runs out of Reiatsu and drowns. Shunsui compares this to the two characters from his story, who both hurl themselves into gushing waters.
Shime no Dan: Itokiribasami Chizome no Nodobue (〆の段 糸切鋏血染喉, Final Act: Thread-Cutting Scissors upon a Blood-Streaked Throat): After sheathing his swords, Shunsui winds a white thread around his opponent's throat multiple times before pulling it taut, leaving a deep cut in their throat that expands before blowing up their head. Completing his story, he likens this to the regretful man's partner ignoring his pleas and mercilessly shearing his throat.
Mr MichaelAngelo thanks for watching this goated series with us man u the 👑
Bro you have no idea how much time i refresh your channel page to see this reaction xD
2 time
FINALLY THANKS MAN! ❤🔥
The initial ability Shunsui uses, "Daruma-san ga kuru-n da" is basically just the Japanese version of Red Light Green Light (think, the game in Squid Game where they run towards that creepy doll) xD
in as the gods will from 2014 its an actual daruma doing the game
I love his stylish Bankai, so let me explain a bit.
I use a translation app because I'm Japanese. Sorry for my poor Englis.
Shinju is a method of suicide practiced by ancient Japanese couples to show how much they loved each other and at the same time to confirm how unchanging that love was.
It seems crazy from today's ethical point of view, but the amazing thing is that there were actually people who did this up until the early modern period.
Then,that means Katenkyokotsu symbolizes children's game but Katenkyokotsu karamatsu sinju symbolizes Adults "game".
His Bankai has the ability to conceptually kill enemy by following the flow of a sinju.
And what I like is that his bankai is based on the 7-5 rhythm.
The 7-5 rhythm is a way of speaking and writing using only seven-syllable and five-syllable words, and is a method of expression used in stage plays and poetry. This makes Japanese people feel that words have a good rhythm.
All of his lines during Bankai,title of act,Bankai's name are in 7-5 rhythm.
If you listen to his lines, you can hear his distinctive rhythm.
Furthermore, his poem last week was in the tanka style, a typical Japanese form of poetry that uses 7-5 rhythm.
Lastly,translate each word,it will look like these.
・Karamatsu(枯松) : Withered pine tree
・Tameraikizu No Wakachiai(躊躇疵分合) : Couple hurt each other in an attempt to commit suicide (but can't die)
・Zanki No Shitone(慚愧の褥) : The blanket of shame
One thing to note is that this is the only coined term.
・Dangyo No Fuchi (断魚淵)
"Fuchi" (淵) means "Pool" or "Abyss" but there is no Japanese word "Dangyo" (断魚).
However, 「断(Dan)」is possible to read"Kotowari" so It can be assumed that this is related to Ukitake's "Sogyo No Kotowari"(双魚理).
By the way,"Gyo"(魚) means "Fish". It gives off a sense of water and uses the same kanji as Ukitake's Zanpakuto.
・Itokiribasami Chizome No Nodobue(糸切鋏血染喉) : Thread cutting scissors and Blood-stained throat
Each one shows the process of sinju, and each one is explained in detail by Kyoraku in video.
This is getting long but thank you for reading!
Can we please take a moment to appreciate how beautiful and amazing Ohana’s character design is!!
Been waiting for your reaction🙏 One of the best Bleach reactors
6:30 Yeah, it's basically Red Light, Green Light
My GOAT Shunsui’s bankai finally revealed lmao only took 8 years
17:05 the chair landed
Now that you’ve said that all I see is a chair😂
I thought aizen finally come😂😂
As a manga reader i wait+10years for this episode what a masterpieace and michael,if they keep doing those masterpiece you are not ready for whats come next i cant wait 2 see your reaction😂🎉
Watching a Bleach fan freak out as these Bankai's are revealed it brings SUCH joy to me because I see the honesty in it. Watching that smile and that glee form on your face as you know you're about to get a treat is brilliant!
Love your reactions dude
Noice. Your vid dropped right when I got mah dinner!
11:36
I'm positively sure it is. It was a cute addition, only some people realized it.
Hi Angelo I'm a big fan from the Philippines.
Shunsui is now the head captain, you better. Give the man some resoect, he's the one who's now giving the orders
23:34 Its not that they would feel despair but they would become part of his play (Just like how Lille became without knowing) . His Bankai is like a sure hit effect with no miss . Once activated friends and foes , all become a part of his play that's why he can't use it with allies around (Just like Shinji)
His Shikai makes children's games into reality . His Bankai is basically where he becomes the author of a play he forces his opponent in and writes his opponents end which keeps becoming reality . He just used four acts here but I am pretty sure he can have as many acts as he wants . This makes his Bankai really broken .
btw fun fact Kubo was once asked if Shunsui's Bankai could defeat Aizen before Aizen became immortal and he didn't provided the answer to leave it to fans .
You guys don't even know how Op this episode was, and how Shunsui Bankai is, fun fact his Bankai was was animated by 4 directors Shunsui is That Guy and I'm so happy Pirreot films brought it to life so perfectly I shed a tear.
Yet some people will complains that the bankai is lame and I saw a lot of it saying the studio fumble this eps, manga better, the colour doesn’t fit, the fight is too short, too many yapping, no choreography and ‘Sakuga’ mfs like always.
@kimzach0346 they should seek help!
Your memory is impressive dude! Remembering specifics of every characters power and the names of their abilities is something I struggle with lol
Best reaction period.
Shunsui has been my favorite character throughout the series from the first time I saw him, and although his fun personality, pink kimono, and drunkenness, along with his fondness for women, always made him seem like a basic funny side character, but I knew deep down that he harbored great power. And now, after 20 years of Bleach, it's incredible to watch an animated version of his bankai. Im so proud of you my Sake King, you're my GOAT.
I am still amazed by the fact that you really remember the detail of the story even if it was been in a long time ago, I really respect you for it ☺☺
When Katen (or Ohana) said, "That's what you get for wearing another woman's kimono" She was referring to the fact that all Shihakusho and Haori are crafted by Senjumaru.
That's not true, that's not what she was referring to.
@zamaskowany12 then js it about his pink kimono? Idk about that. Plz tell me??
@@technos_orphan_obliterator It will be explained in about 2 episodes where he got that Kimono from
@@zamaskowany12 ah ok. I thought for sure she was referring to his Shinigami garbs
THIS WAS PEAK BRO 🔥😮🔥
Was a long waiting, but Kyoraku bankai is here in all his splendor and have Ohana (From Zampakto Rebellion) is back too. Next week in base of Nemu words in the poems, she gonna enter in action.
Hell yeah, Just when I get home Michael Angelo uploads lol.
It's interesting how three of the oldest Soul Reapers all have Bankai that come in parts. Cause we know that a Bankai ages like fine wine, and besides Unohana's being way more straightforward, all the older characters do have Bankai with multiple stages. Yamamoto, Senjumaru and now even Shunsui. So interesting.
their bankais have long incantations like those of squad zero members.Probably most elaborate and '' rule based" if we could say that.Yama, ichibe,senjumaru et al.
Finally! I've been waiting for this upload
15:50
Michaelangelo: "Oh, we're back to Askin?"
*Insert the "Stop the Cap" meme*
Shunsui is my goat
Finally hearing him say his bankai out loud after patiently waiting in suspense is awesome
My 2nd favorite character in the series finally shows his bankai. Katen Kyōkotsu Karamatsu Shinju translates to Flower Crazed Heaven Bone Spirit Withered Pine Lovers Suicide. The pine part of it you can see when the bankai is activated and how it spreads out like tree branches
Each part of the play translates to the following
Act the 1st: Hesitance and Appointment of wounds where kyoraku and his opponent effectively share the same wounds
Act the 2nd: the Pillow of Shame where black spots appear and burst with illness
Act the 3rd: the Severing Abyss where the water appears and their Reiatsu slowly drains till one of them drowns
Final act: Thread-cutting scissors upon a blood-streaked throat where he ties the thread around the opponents throat several times and cuts their throat and then they go boom
Kyorakus bankai is indiscriminate which means it works on ANYBODY in the area. So if one of the other shinigami had been in the area it would have effected them also. Kinda like Shinji's bankai. Neither likes to use it unless they're alone
I will never get over the fact that Katen Kyoukotsu spirit design carried over from a filler arc into the canon story!
I was hyped to see her again
Kubo actually designed the spirits for that filler arc so they're technically canon even though the arc isn't
@@jonttu7116 Really? So Zabimaru was a retcon, then? Even Renji was confused!
@@gabthegreat01 I was wrong, apparently he didn't design them but he was overseeing the designs
@@gabthegreat01wasn't zabimaru hide it's full name before? Maybe that's why it's form was changing.
Kyoraku Shunsui's Bankai is thought to be based on the 曽根崎心中 which are performances of the puppet show called Bunraku, which was born in the Edo period and Osamu Dazai's suicide by drowning.
Osamu Dazai committed suicide by drowning with his mistress. He appears in Bungo Stray Dogs.
Ok saying that nobody will be able to recognize your body without your chest hair is probably one of the manliest things you can say, lol.
That was the line which I mentioned before which makes me think Lille either Spanish or from a colony of theirs. I think chocolate inglés is mainly played in Grenada. I think they play it in Brazil too though that was a Portuguese one I think. Not too well versed in the history of these places. Anyway it’s a random cool detail cause mostly kubo never gives away the nationalities of his characters.
Although he said he had an Italian man in mind when designing Shunsui.
Anyway the game Shunsui played and chocolate inglés is kinda like red light green light. Seems every region has a variation of that game. Think squid game.
Anyway the big elephant in the room is shunsui’s zanpakuto spirit. It was original shown in a filler arc. It’s like the seven swordsman of the mist from Naruto most of them appeared in filler first before canon. In the old anime eps 230-265 Katen kyokotsu’s spirit manifested and the designs are exactly the same as here. Voice actor is different though since the old one took an indefinite hiatus. Shame since she was perfect for the role. New one is great too of course.
Shunsui’s bankai is pretty cool in concept. His Shikai is to do with children’s entertainment and his bankai is a play which is adult entertainment. Also it’s based of a fairly famous play about 2 lovers which commit the word I might not be able to say on RUclips beginning with su. So that’s what the powers are based off it’s that play. I do wish they translated the technique names like the manga does.
Shunsui's backstory is the epitome of loneliness & despair. My favorite Captain.
Your Bleach reaction is very complete and detailed
4:25 wdym chad got 2 muscular guns
My bad I didn’t mean to disrespect the GOAT😂🙏🏽
yeah finally captain,bdw don't forget the blue lock broo🔥
Shunsui is goated!!! From the time i saw him in the manga when chad first ran into him i knew he would be a cold ass mf. He is some of kubo's best work. Literally the best of duality.
That's why yama praise shunsui as one of the strongest and for his flash step too he is also one of the fastest soul reaper.
get ready mike next is urahara bankai and toshiro big brother,i cant wait
Shunsui's bankai is one of the strongest bankai and also the scariest bankai and even gave Ichigo chills and everyone as well. Lovely reaction ❤❤❤
If Chad had a gun when fighting Shunsui, then Shunsui would have won and I can't imagine Chad losing
Micheal do you have photographic memory?
You only looked at the bankai name for a second and already got all of it.
And not even that, the amount of things you remember from other anime’s just blown my mind.
this is why michael is the best reactor. You can tell he actually enioys the series and isn't just watching for a couple of clicks
I have never clicked so fast! 🙏🏽 Thanks
There was a large amount of hype when this chapter came out and people saw that Kubo kept the zanpakuto design from the filler arcs
Shikai: child's play
Bankai: adult's play
(A tragic one)
best reaction on yt
The hype! Been waiting years to finally see the goat commander bankai
5:35 he also likes girls with eyepatches.
Finally! Someone reacted to the range of the bankai! 🔥🔥
Earlyyyyy!! im waiting for your reaction mannn
