Aizen Fools Me Again & Predicting Karakura Town Fights! | First Time Reading BLEACH #29

Join me for a fun little discussion on the brink of war. Who will fight who in the upcoming battle for Karakura Town? Here are my guesses.

[@Iamnuketastic]

Ulquiorra being Aizen’s mini boss is very fitting.

[@presticus]

Whelp. Turn Back the Pendulum. If we never hear from Agamotto again then his brain exploded.

[@unfortunateflicks6751]

This video shows how well Agamotto is able to comprehend Kubo’s amazing storytelling. The predictions you’ve gotten correct are gonna be very satisfying when you get to them in the story

[@dex123sg]

like right it's kind of scary how he is guessing these things.

[@pariahdark2]

Thank you for understanding that Aizen only had Orihime kidnapped to be used as bait. So many readers complained about how Aizen seemed to be inconsistent about being interested in Orihime’s powers, not realizing that was the point to deceive Ichigo and Soul Society.

[@heruikioere9176]

those are mostly anime watchers only. agamotto is doing both reading and watching so he gets the plot even deeper than just the anime watchers

[@goldoan]

I do think Aizen might have been interested. He is a scientist at heart, it's just that everything took a back seat to his main goal.

[@kingban1613]

Many readers are mouth breathing normies.

[@MrMagnetron2]

I’m pretty sure that Kubo actually did decide to change the course of the plot somewhere in the middle between getting to Hueco Mundo and The actual FKT arc

[@lolsnez7542]

Actually he kidnapped her cause she literally affected the hogyoku

[@miziro1985]

NO SPOILERS. I will just say... Buckle up Agamoto... You are in for one wild ride from now on! :D

[@xKazeshi98x]

2:04 oh my god, bruhh, I get it now, he ordered the Espada to stay put in their personal quarters rather than organizing a response because he was trying to keep as many of the infiltrators and ranks of the espada as intact as possible until soul society sends reinforcements, he wanted soul society to see that there's a chance at making a rescue, since SS views ichigo as an asset, whilst also wanting to preserve the number of espada to keep the captains sent to hueco mundo somewhat busy to stall for time.... it really is just a game for him 💀

[@sanddry738]

Man plays chess like a grandmaster while laughing and everyone else playing checkers (except for a few key people of course)

[@Myhaay]

how have you not figured this out when watching/reading it the first time? he literally says it, you don't even have to think.

[@sanddry738]

@@Myhaay Yes the BIG reasoning is obviously stated but it’s the *details* that makes it extra juicy and more believable that people may not catch

[@MrArbaras]

Gin is an incredibly complex and subtle character that you really need to pay attention to, and probably reread the pages that feature him a few times after this arc in order to really understand what the character was all about. One of my favorites.

[@luffys_]

Poems are so helpful for that + they give more understanding of the character, can be a little hard to decode sometimes though

[@sanddry738]

@@luffys_The poems are so genuinely fascinating and a lot of people don’t mention them unless it’s character analysis. Also the little doodles Kubo makes on pages ESPECIALLY towards the end of Fake Karakura Town Ark

Bro wake up, another agamotto video

[@LordAizen-1307]

I love the expectation on Starrk and Shunsui 😂 both are such a vibe

[@godisme8151]

You are in for a treat. Fake Karakura town is my favorite part of the Espada arc. You will also get a mini arc in a bit that explains A LOT.

[@JerkWarlord]

TBTP? He teased it in a community post a few days ago and at the end of this video! It's next week!!!

[@MrMagnetron2]

I don’t think I’ve heard anyone say FKT is there favorite before

[@novessence]

@@MrMagnetron2 most interesting outside of tybw id say

[@saketmeena9581]

you forgot that Tosen's lieutenant was also very close to Tosen not just Komamura.

[@sanddry738]

Yeah it’s absolutely hilarious how Aizen is a masterclass in bamboozling everyone including the reader multiple times. You learn to love it lol. Like holy shit I know you’re reading TBTP right now so you already know. Honestly this part of the story I’m really excited to see you experience. Previous stuff is great but this is also great in a different way

[@insertname5371]

It’s so funny watching you suggest things. It’s either so wrong or so prescient

[@mgustafson2010]

Aizen was smart he trapped Spul Society's powerhouse (Kenpachi) their scientist (Mayuri) their healer (Unohana) and their all rounder (Byakuya)

[@Whatthesigm_a]

Ah yes, he trapped kenpachi /s

[@andrewsigler7437]

i cant WAIT for you to see when DON KANOJI pulls up!!

[@revenantronin8377]

Watch it with the major spoiler, I know it’s hard not to talk about the GOAT but at least try!

[@chairwolf5446]

Everyone hyping up the war, and of course I'm hootin' and hollerin' for the flashback, but there's still one teeny tiny little fight left outside of Karakura town that's going to take up a video or two...

[@JerkWarlord]

Murcielago? Hehe

[@kamikazelemming1552]

True Despair?

[@sanddry738]

>:D

[@BrunoKrost]

Omg, the Stark vibe totally goes on with Shunsui. I also had this wish about seeing they enjoying some drinks, maybe in this way Starkk wouldn't feel alone

[@D4rkn3ss2000]

I'm glad you are pairing Aizen vs Momo and Toshiro 😉 Now you pairing Harribel with Soi Fon is very interesting and awesome

[@matiaspereyra9392]

2:43 not just by half, the ones that remained were the "child" he knows he can oneshot, the dogman he knows he can oneshot if he tries a bit harder, the guy with the vague anime illness that incapacitates them sometimes, the young but not as young girl that's kinda the same concept as Toshiro but is trying to measure up to yoruichi (I mean nobody here's young for our standards but for a captain they do kinda be on the younger side) and then kyoraku, komamura and Yamamoto as kind of the real "adults" that are able bodied all the time (although kyoraku is a bit of a drunk slacker it'd be reasonable to assume he's going to be more locked in than when he fought Chad and not to be mean to ukitake but his sickness is not a non-issue and also^2 komamura is probably not much of a real factor on aizen's head) While the ones locked away are, batman meets crazy war criminal scientist, a genuine demon, the sort of "poster boy" of a captain on their prime so to speak and THE medic

[@jrgenvellesen7800]

I am looking forward to seeing his thoughts on Starrk. His personality is a vibe.

[@Aerthkil]

God it's time to see stark my favorite favorite, so underrated as a character

Tbf the Flashback you are about to read explains Matsumoto/Gin stuff.

This part of the story is PEAK Bleach 😤 just hurry up and read it. So much happens between now and the inevitable final battle with Aizen that it’s hard to even comprehend thinking back on it. Looking forward to your next couple of videos as things start to get rolling. Several of your predictions are close to basically spot on so trust yourself. The hype is real.

I was so excited watching this entire video just thinking to myself "Oh my god I can't wait until he gets to [x] part!" anytime you had mentioned nearly anything. Honestly, the whole Hueco Mundo Arc is the low point of Bleach for me. However; the start of the Fake Karakura Town Arc (and Turn Back the Pendulum) is when everything starts picking up and getting real hype and this video was exactly what I needed, thanks Agamotto! :D

[@edoardoprevelato6577]

This video was part of Aizen's plan 😊

[@nyambayartogtohtur1525]

Come on agamotto you know Don Kanoji is just gonna ace up the whole espadas while kon is taking down the traitors

[@varsoonhks3211]

My favorite part of BLEACH to come out of this part of the story is the 9th opening for the anime, Velonica by Aqua Timez. Just killer visuals and hype building for this stretch of chapters, definitely suggest it.

[@tmethe01]

Some of these predictions are very funny in how correct they are lol

[@user-wl8zm2gl5r]

Starrk is by far my fav bleach character I hope he likes him too

[@Uberdude6666]

Your theory for Barragan was pretty cool, ngl... Not gonna spoil anything, but when you finish the series you should look up who Ikomikidomoe is, and his history with Yamamoto.
