Your observations about Mayuri Kurotsuchi touch some very important aspects of his character/you ask some important questions. I'm looking forward to following the rest of your Bleach journey :)
And we have the first bankai! It has a ton of symbolism to it, being based off of some buddhist deity that is meant to protect children. You asked how Kurotsuchi Mayuri ended up the way he did? Prevailing unconfirmed fan theory is that he was molested as a child, due to a lot of the symbolism in his weapon.
Ehh that fan theory seems pretty wack imo. Mayuri is supposed to be an orochimaru like character who is balls to the wall sadistic and evil just because. It’s supposed to show how obsession drives you mad. I don’t think he’s supposed to have a sad/tragic backstory. I think he’s just a deranged scientist; it was a very popular trope back in the day.
@@gdadder I'm not denying that he is what he is because he wants to be it. I was pointing out a theory about what seemed to have set him on the path. Unfortunately anything that would truly explore and substantiate the theory would require very spoilery discussions about zanpakuto and their nature that I couldn't in good conscience do here.
Nah. He's actually based on the Japanese scientist from World War 2 that conducted many fucked up experiments on many live prisoners of war, not caring if they died in the process of his experiments and examinations. Kubo, like many other authors, used a lot of real world people as the inspiration for some of his characters.
Censorship in this particular episode (Source: Bleach Wiki): «Mayuri after being shot by one of Uryū's Quincy: Letzt Stil arrows was drastically toned down in the anime. In the manga, Mayuri was engulfed in flames and was missing his left arm and shoulder, his left pupil, and a portion of his left side. In the anime however, he was only missing most of his left arm.» «Mayuri after being grievously wounded after Uryū destroyed Konjiki Ashisogi Jizō was drastically toned down in the anime. In the manga, bone remnants were shown in the hole in Mayuri's body, whereas in the anime, the remnants are not visible.» «When Mayuri performs Nikushibuki and starts to liquefy, his eyeballs aren't shown in the anime as they are in the manga.» «The small, slatted portcullises with multiple earrings in place of where Mayuri's ears would be aren't visible in the anime as they are in the manga. Instead, they are obscured by strands of Mayuri's hair. Also in the anime, the scars that are on his lower body are not shown, leaving the ones on his upper body visible.»
My personal pet hypothesis, is that any creation has to start with a "base" soul. It contains everything a normal human being contains... emotions and such. Mayuri strips a soul of the "dis-likable" properties and then puts it in a body that is made by growing his own cells. He is just not a likable character... though he is a memorable and interesting one.
If you get to the point I will be referring to remember that little note you made about him making something imperfect. It's nothing major and it's far down the line, but it's fun that you used the term imperfect.
How many experiments did he preform on his own body? The answer is yes.
Yes
😂
There is a scene later in the series about Mayuri talking about "perfection". So cool hearing you bringing it up and discuss it here, knowing that.

Nemu is a Saint for putting up with her "dad"

To think that if by chance Maryui really dead here, the future would be a lot...
Facts. Mayuri is mvp
DOUBLE TROUBLE LETS GO!!!!
he's the orochimaru of bleach, can't die
blessed us with the double post
I love Mayuri, such a good take of the mad genius template
Im glad you posted two today!
"And therefore he is imperfect coz something imperfect was born/created from/by him" - Yepp! Tell that to GOD!
Ishida can't take a break
If I remember corectly Mayuri once said that poison from his Zanpakuto is made from his own blood thats why it has no efect on Mayuri itself
Great reaction love the thoughts on Mayuri
I just finished the last episode and I was hyped! YES!
Uryu was so badass here

And thus Nemu x Uryu was born in our hearts. 😊

Letzt Stil gives Quincy an immense boost in power at the expense of them losing their powers.
Ishida was lucky that Mayuri wasn't prepared trust me he wasn't at his best in this fight.
he never is tbh
Mayuri hates perception, couz perfection means end game
