please do NOT skip the Fullbring Arc. it’s not filler.

[@araragisenpai4088]

People who think Fullbring is skippable aren't even Bleach fans lol, there're literal repercussions of that arc to the next that are SHOWN.

[@hanzgolden]

It's not a problem not being a fan, tho, people should just watch things as they like. Fullbringer is kinda good, my uncle is one of my fave.

[@GavrielRosario]

​@@hanzgolden yes and people are telling her not watch what she want to watch, that's the problem

[@Itsjustlikemagic]

It may not be filler but it is skip-able. Ginjo and his crew aren’t relevant to the overall plot and are all completely shunned aside after the arc. The only thing that was actually relevant to the overall plot in the end is ichigo recovering his shinigami powers.

[@GavrielRosario]

@@Itsjustlikemagic hell nah one of the reason why ichigo was able to defeat yhwach was the fullbringers helping him especially tsukishima book of the end

Fun Fact : GOJO sealed by GETO in JJK is inspired from Urahaha sealing Aizen even the camera angle are perfect

@@praz7 oh yeah I do know what you are saying but I thought you think that gojo was inspired by aizen misunderstanding

[@Heavenly828]

⁠@@kyoraku_shunsui_bankaiI think it goes both ways Since Gojo and Aizen both have themes of unrivaled power and isolation that comes with it.

[@juhtahel7454]

28:15 Aizen's rage is one of my favorite anime moments. The VA nailed the revulsion and hatred that Aizen has. "From the beginning, no god stood in the heavens, but now, I will fill that vacancy." Aizen never accepted subjugation under the Soul King, to that **thing**

[@shahbajmohammad3737]

​@Aizen-one These episodes aired years ago. Yet u can't get out of ur chunni phase yet.. The level of cringe is phenomenal and ur are single handedly ruining Aizens reputation.. Gross..

[@naegleriafowleri2230]

aizen wants to be the king, he wants to rule soul society, thast why he didnt accept yhwach offer, as yhwach wants to destroy everything, aizen does not want that

[@sanddry738]

Yeah the English dub VA also goes so hard. Especially since Aizen in general is so calm and collected. So seeing him loosing his shit is sort of startling

[@TaiYoukaiNoble]

Guys. There was filler, inbetween the fall of Aizen and the beginning of Fullbring. The "Gotei 13 Invasion Arc." IIC, its Episode 311-342. Episode 343 is the first of the Fullbring Arc. Which, absolutely CANNOT be skipped. Full bring arc (343-366) answers so many unanswered questions.

[@ghostspider2056]

I think the invasion arc is also a worth watch at some point, good animation, interesting story, the only time Kon is relevant outside the episodes when he’s in a makeshift power ranger team. Moments of where everyone fights their clones are one of the best parts, like Urahara using Gigai substitute and Unohana’s kido battle with herself.

[@saketmeena9581]

I will not mind the reaction of episode 342.

[@redohealer2]

She got there. Now I wonder how she'll react with Fullbring arc.

[@MrLionniol]

As a kid, I thought the fullbring arc was bad. All the power levels getting reset after the Aizen climax was jarring. Now as an adult, I appreciate it so much as it explores Ichigo's character and his insecurities.

[@MrRusty103]

You're right!

[@STGAoe]

Idk why people keep saying to skip the Fullbring arc when its a canon arc and you literally cant watch the TYBW without it. So many weirdos tell reaction channels to skip the arc and when the channels obviously watch the arc, they question why people even considered for them to skip it since you HAVE to watch it. Its so dumb. They just say to skip it because some people in the fanbase don’t like it but it’s literally canon.

[@silversrayliegh5924]

Kids don't like it, adults appreciate it.

To explain better, every relevant character of bleach has its own poem, Kubo loves associating a character to a short poem. The poem about snake and love is Rangiku’s poem.

[@jrgenvellesen7800]

The Final Getsuga Tenshou goes hard. One of the most epic moments in the series.

[@diego4195]

Don't forget Tousen, he would have defended Aizen from Gin. That may have been Gin's first opportunity to betray Aizen with Tousen gone, because Tousen was loyal to Aizen (or at least loyal to his plansi).

[@ThyUseless]

⁠​⁠​⁠@@praz7yea the power of the Hogyuko gave a sense of superiority over everyone ultimately convincing him he was untouchable which almost led to his death it was probably the first time since they met where Aizen wasn’t on guard Rip my boy Gin he was close but Hogyoku is too busted

[@InnocentBystand3r]

​@ThyUseless aizen was right tho. With hogyoku he didn't have worry about anything. Look at happened, aizen died and cameback to life from gin's bankai and ichigo's mugetsu all in one day. He only got sealed because of himself. Aizen was right , there is no need to be on guard because of the hogyoku.

[@naegleriafowleri2230]

@@InnocentBystand3r aizen's soul simply got sad when ichigo, the equal he always long for, lost all his powers, the hogyuoku sensed that and took away his powers as well. It literally made him powerless as ichigo. Aizen could've killed ichigo multiple times, but never did, gave him a chance to evolve, despite knowing ichigos talents

[@kama3034]

The thousand year war has been referenced before indirectly, even at the start of the series. It's the logical conflict of the series that was set up from the beginning, but you'll see what it's about when you reach it. Until then there's the Lost Agent Arc, which is basically an important transition / set up arc.

[@killuazoldyk2727]

Soul society arc has dead giveaways for TYBW arc mainly about the main villain and a certain Arrancar arc was Aizen and Ichigo's story of evolution

[@Frandar]

Man Ichigo with the black hair looks so cool

[@PrinceAli628]

Yo that SCREAM when Ichigo arrived lmfao! I FELT THAT! XD

[@TheWindcrow]

24:40! correct!! Aizen is just assuming, b/c he can't understand it. Just a clarification on spiritual pressure. If you cannot feel it when they DO have it. Means yours is too low compared to theirs. As someone has said before, the weaker spiritual pressure gets pushed out. Aizen isn't even close to Ichigo's lvl. Oh man the goosebumps.

[@p1ug0]

the next arc is a whole different vibe from everything we seen thus far. and then i can’t wait til you get to the thousand year blood war

[@tffilmshd8419]

Fullbring is not filler and is important to watch

[@henriklindberg1646]

He always had spiritual pressure, he was just on a very high level

[@saketmeena9581]

The raw strength which Ichigo displays while fighting Aizen before using Final GetsugaTensho, was attained by 2 factors in my opinion: 1. His all forms of powers were in harmony and acceptance of Ichigo. 2. He fought hard in his spirit worls for straight 3 months.

[@AnubisVoid]

[Tidbits & Clarifications] - If it wasn't clear by the poem at the start of Ep 308. Gin did all of this because Aizen took a piece of Rangikus soul, and from that moment Gin vowed to kill him. For that cause, he was willing to do whatever evil deed, so part of him doubts whether Rangiku could ever love him after what he's done. That's what the poem was about at the start of the episode. "If you became a snake tomorrow And began devouring people, If you roared your love for me With that mouth you use to devour people Could I still say that I love you As I do today?" - Tensa Zangetsu is the embodiment of Ichigo therefore he knows Ichigo more than anyone, the reason that he's sad about Ichigo learning this ability is that he knows how important it is for Ichigo to have the power to protect his loved ones. (This is something that's addressed in the upcoming arc so DO NOT SKIP) [Lotta Reading for those interested, Mini Book] These episodes cover content found in Volume 48 of Bleach titled "God is Dead" which is very important here and later within the story, but today I'm only talking about what we do know. That title derives from the famous philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche who began his quote with : “God is dead. God remains dead. And we have killed him.” the quote ended with : “Must we ourselves not become gods simply to appear worthy of it” Aizen similarly once said: “Since The Beginning, no one has ever stood in the heavens, neither you, nor I, not even God himself, but that emptiness in the throne of heaven will be filled from this day forth” This tells us that Aizen is an Übermensch. what is that? The Übermensch is a being who reaches their best self by not succumbing to religion or morality, a being who can affirm their own life, not seek purpose in what they have been told to do. The Übermensch can determine for themselves, their own value. Therein being a God. which is why here Aizen says: “The Victor must always speak not of the world as it is, but of how it should be” If something greater does not deem it so, then for what purpose do we exist? In this philosophy where “God is Dead” it must then be understood that all things that existed through that God are destined for the same fate, therein sets the reality that there is no meaning to life. This leads us to another Aizen quote “All living things believe in someone superior to them, and cannot live unless they blindly follow them. Then, the objects of their faith try to escape this crushing pressure by seeking another being that is more superior to them to believe in. And they, in turn, seek a stronger being still. That is how all kings are born. That is how... all gods are born.” people still need something to believe in, because that is where purpose is derived, but if the God they seek and believe in is vacant then they are living a life with false purpose and worse they won't be able to escape it. The last bit I’ll cover (cause this has already stretched far enough) is the additional aspect of Nietzsche’s Übermensch philosophy which talks about “The Last Man” In short, The Last Man is a concept in which we as a people from lacking meaning choose to do what’s comforting and easy instead of taking charge of our own purpose. In other words, The Last Man is a person who chooses to keep things the way they are because it’s safe and comfortable We see this with Urahara, who knows the truth and can enact change, but he chooses the status quo, he chooses complacency. This is why Aizen is upset with him, because with a mind as great as theirs, why would you choose to uphold a falsehood? Why choose to not be the best version of you? (There is so much more but I can’t speak on it now, plus this is already far to much for a youtube comment)

[@cke4174]

CFYOW spoilers To kisuke’s credit, he has tried to to come up with ways to replace the soul king, but for one reason or another it never happened. I don’t even get the impression that he’s happy to maintain the status qou like how ichibei seems happy about it.

[@AnubisVoid]

@@cke4174 Yeah, Ichibei participated in crafting the "status quo" so he wouldn't fit the idea of the last man, and as you said he seems happy about it. Urahara who (as you noted) tried, yet gave up for the sake of a perceived balance. The reality that he understood and gave in despite having the tools to affect change is what makes him the last man.

[@wamzi09]

NO IT ISN'T FILLER PLEASE ITS AN IMPORTANT ARC TO CONTINUE Don't SKIP IT AT ALL ITS CALLED THE LOST AGENT ARC.

[@almightygod2144]

Yes, Aizen wanted to replace the Soul King, "The unbearably vacancy of the throne in the sky is over. From now on... I will be sitting on it."

[@MelloParasite96]

[@Louie23LA]

Nice These episodes never get old.

[@jamaicancloud]

A little fun fact, the filler in between this arc and the fullbringer arc is in a state of semi canon due to the lightnovels that are canon mentioning that events from the filler happening.

[@vhaelen326]

i dont know if it was ever brought up but i think ichigo evolved WAY past aizen because aizen wasnt willing to sacrifice anything of meaning but ichigo was willing to sacrifice virtually everything and as halibel said, nothing in this world comes without sacrifice

[@shinon748]

The Fullbringer Arc is NOT filler. It is canon. And very important to the growth of Ichigo.

[@DoctorWortspieler]

12:48 That right there, is Bleach's "Puny God" moment.

[@naviricbe]

Btw what Aizen told to Ichigo after he regenerated and his sword started fading away was not a lie :D

[@sproutzer]

You have to watch the fullbringer arc it’s not filler and is part of the manga. A lot of people hate on it, it’s actually good and confronts Ichigo’s insecurities.

[@joselitof.romualdojr8151]

Plss Don't forget that conversation between Aizen and Urahara about the existence of SOUL KING because after the fullbring arc Soul king would be more important in TYBW arc and you will know why Aizen hated that thing Btw They both created Hogyoku it's because of Soul King for the reason that Aizen found out the real problems of 3 worlds and he wants to fix that where the existence of Soul King is not needed to maintain the 3 worlds the rest was explained in TYBW arc and CFYOW light novel

[@TheGreenHon]

The Lost Agent Arc.....some people don't like it but I personally really love it, because the animation quality steps up tremendously and it has a pretty nice ending to it as a culmination of the OG show. You should definitely watch it

[@killuazoldyk2727]

Bleach anime is ok but Kubo's manga is far superior to it and how he left poems and notes and sketches to bring out what he intends and his panelling and foreshadowing for the storyline is so awesome as a manga. Whole OG Bleach needs a proper 1 to 1 remake with no censoring and cutting

[@cozydayzandnightz]

I remember back in the day when the next arc (my favorite arc) was said to be the last, only 7 years later to surprise us that it would all be continuing to the end. Sure, the new episodes are coming out pretty slow, but at least you don't have to wait that handful of years. lol

[@ACWraith]

24:02 YES! I had been writing a comment to counter your other theories about restraint and giving up spiritual pressure until this moment. (Mind you , this is my impression from being anime-only.) As explained during the encounter with Aizen in the false town, sensing spiritual pressure is about the delta between the source and sensor. I generally picture everyone so bathed in Ichigo's power that they can't tell it apart from the rest of the universe. You can't pinpoint a source of power if everywhere around you also maxes out your sensory level. PS: The Fullbring stuff is important.

[@samanthasantospereira8478]

This sort of reminds me of when Rukia couldn't feel the hollow coming to attack Ichigo's family in the first episode because of Ichigo's reiatsu being so strong

[@MarkITEXE]

25:01 Literally one of the most Iconic moments in anime history.
