Bleach TYBW Ep.38 - "friend" Breakdown

[@ivanbluecool]

That implication of the uncle doing more than physically abusing haschwald made my skin crawl. I knew more than abuse happened in manga but how it was done felt like seeing berserk with Griffith and the noble

The uncle's voice acting... daaamn... precious Jugo... geeeez... Jugo was traumatized as a kid. And Yhwach telling him he's special and he needs Jugo really shaked his mindset. Finally he felt like he belongs to somewhere and has a goal. But it was hard on him for sure because of his friendship...

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

So even though Hashwalth couldn’t absorb Reishi and make Heilig Bogen back then, he is seen absorbing Reishi from Nanao’s Kido shield in Cour 2 and can make an energy blast with his sword so I inagine he must’ve enevtually learned how to do it.

[@nickdurham3946]

Or ywach bestowed some degree of reishi collection power onto him

[@Iamreallyfreakinggay]

I feel like The Balance allows him the good fortune to do so if it applies

[@Fireheart310]

Yhwach said that he could absorb Reishi just that he couldn't or didn't know how to use it as his own

[@Shady_br]

Tekking i can't believe you missed that friend is taking the first and final three letters from Kubo's favourite manga "FRIeren beyond journey's END"

[@royalreptile923]

The weird thing about Yhwach’s comment about Bazz B becoming a genius only thanks to Jugram’s influence is the fact that Bazz B was already a genius for making a Helig Bogen at such a young age before even meeting Jugram. Does that mean Jugram made him MORE of a genius than he normally would’ve been?

[@bluemoon1716]

I think bazz b was just talented for his small territory. Not necessarily a prodigy or anything.

[@MM-kr7gs]

@@bluemoon1716 Or Yhwach was intentionally putting him down while pulling Jugram up.

[@KailamiMwiinga]

Yhwach's point is: yes you are good but you were made better because he was with you...

[@NeonForceGetsuga]

They literally showed the improvement montage. Meaning that 5 years being around Jugram improved his skills.

[@rayvonvelez3129]

Yhwach was kinda trolling and belittling bazz there. But jugram did enhance bazzs talent after they met. We see him with 2 bows compared to 1 after they grow.

[@rainestar82]

honestly it would be so easy to make Yhwach a one note Big Bad Evil Guy but the glimpses we see of him in the past are three dimensional but still VERY corrupt. The way he manipulated Jugram AND Bazz in the flashback, using Bazz's arrogance against him, drawing in Jugram with a version of "youre special/chosen" after having killed both their families, seeing Jugram advocate for Bazz and then forming a rift between the two... and the effect it all would have on Jugram specifically, coming from an abuse situation. Actually turns my stomach. The implied abuse is JUST enough, both on the cute/precious comment from his uncle and in the way Yhwach puts his hand on his head... just such well done storytelling without needing the characters to really SAY anything. Even Bazz's anger is more about betrayal than revenge in the end. The way Jugrams sword seems to be weighing him down at the end.... This might be one of the best episodes of Bleach, period.

[@elemomnialpha]

Considering the existence of the Ishida's and Kang Du being pretty Chinese I think it might be outright saying he at minimum took over all of Eurasia to have Japanese and Chinese Stern ritter I don't think Yugo killed his uncle, it's meant to be a representation of the Balance, both him and Bazz lost their family but while it was bad for Bazz-B it was good for Yugo I wonder if Ichigo is meant to be the modern day Jugram, he is a Quincy we never see make a bow

[@Iamreallyfreakinggay]

Lille barro knowing the game chocolaté ingles, implies that he’s from a Spanish speaking country with black people so somewhere in the Caribbean? I actually think the geography in bleach may not be reflective of earth lol can’t say for sure though

[@Iamreallyfreakinggay]

I also like your theory about ichigo, maybe now that it seems like he used blut vene on purpose against uryu, and to our/blut ywach’s blut, and he went through the irazosando maybe that gave him more access to his Quincy blood

[@rainestar82]

considering that Ishida is the genius who couldnt do vollstandig before Yhwach's power up...one more parallel between Jugram-Bazz and Ichigo-Uryu. I'd argue it WASNT good for Jugram all things considered but then that factors into the balance too... I still like idea that Jugram kinda had a moment where he couldve saved his uncle and chose not to, that fits with the balance too because its a decision.

[@kgema89]

Always mind your friends like you never know who is hurting out here or helping you when you don't even know it. Bazz was so self-absorbed that he missed Jugo was likely getting m*lested by the Uncle and that his power creep was due to Jugo not his own "genius". He notices the former he would have seen that Yhwach's attack was beneficial to him, in contrast to what it was to Bazz.

[@Iamreallyfreakinggay]

Yea if Bazz cared about Jugram in the way he made it seem, he would have known that ywach was being manipulative. But he never approached Jugram to talk about it, but just to fight.

[@hybrid5860]

Something Tekking didn’t mention that was an absolute highlight if the fight for me was when Haschwalth cut off Bazz’s arm. Since it was still on fire and in the process of firing an attack, the arm immediately rockets away like a loose firework before slamming into the nearby pillar. Gorgeous animation on the fire this episode!

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

Yeah imagine if Bazz B could use all 10 fingers? What would it be called? Burning Full Fingersx2? Burning Kamehameha? 😅

[@Youngblood-Pirates]

The backstory of Bazz and Jugram’s friendship made me really emphasize more with Jugram. He was essentially a lost puppy with no talent, even after befriending Bazz. Even after Yhwach reveals that Jugram is his other half, Jugram looks to Bazz (his friend) for guidance, only to receive contempt in return. If their goals had been aligned, Bazz-B would have been happy that just one of them had gotten close to Yhwach. However, the fact that it was the "defect" and not the "genius" who succeeded flipped that expectation on its head. Even if Jugram were to improve, Bazz would still see him as inferior. This perspective suggests that Bazz mostly saw Jugram more as an underling than a friend. Understandably, Jugram would choose to follow the man who finally recognized his worth and gave him purpose after a betrayal like that.

[@miguellopes7627]

This honestly felt like a movie. All Bazz and Haschwalth

[@nestog1765]

Yhwach's Horse finally makes his appearance. Chair-sama: "Our battle will be legendary." Note: Chairs are objects they can not speak or participate in a rap battle

[@jimynutron87]

What about her white side? We just leave that out huh?

[@ciregoku]

Yhwach: America's got enough problems already concurring it would just be a waste of time

[@PoPo-qp8zq]

I didn't think much of Hashwalth until I read Bleach again. His character is interesting, but he's stoic and introverted, so he didn't really express any of that until he fought with Uryuu later on. He's furious with Uryuu, or rather himself, because Uryuu is similar to him, but he chose his friends instead of Yhwach. In the end, Hashwalth does keep his promise to Bazz-B when his duty to Yhwach is already done by telling Uryuu to transfer his wound to himself while holding Bazz-B's button until the end

[@morganhelms80808]

Tbh I think you're over flaming Jugram, he doesn't need to be a super dynamic developing character, Kenichi certainly isn't, but realistically his whole thing is balance so he's gonna come off stoic and thinking before doing anything and pretty straightforward overall. He served his purpose really well and this helps flesh out pretty much every decision we see him make through the series so I think he might not be the most in depth character but that's not his purpose and he serves as a great foil for Uryu and Ichigo

[@Utre-d4u]

Meh, that’s like saying that Tosen and Gin just dying without any kind of proper backstory, motivation and personality is good writing, because they served their purpose as villains. There is way too much screentime wasted on Jugo just for him to die as the exact same loyal puppy character as we got to know him at the beginning of the arc.

[@Blueburrysoop]

Bro is satisfied with mid character development.

[@morganhelms80808]

@Blueburrysoop do you even comprehend how many characters are in this arc let alone are introduced in this arc?

[@superelite5133]

I agree!!

[@WolvesHead1]

I think haschwaldt is the way he is because he was severely abused as a child. An emotionless, quiet, bland guy who supports Ywachs cause since he freed him from his uncle

[@ckay11002]

I'm imagining that Ywhach has died several times and as his soul goes through the cycle he keeps his memories throughout each time, learning and refining his power more and more throughout each reincarnation

[@randomguy4616]

0:55 nah tekking of course the eps title refers to when the anime airs at saturday so the end of friday, fri end

[@WolvesHead1]

I dont know if you have heard about the chicken wineville coop killer from the 1920s, but it seems like Haschwaldt was in the same dilemma as Sanford Clark. He was living with his uncle in WineVille, california, getting beat up and sexually assaulted by his uncle every day. Sanford grew indifferent eventually after what he went through in the farm, similar to how Hashwaldt is as in Bleach

[@WolvesHead1]

That's why it's hard to simply label Haschwaldt as a character with wasted potential when there are real life stories of people going through this and coming out indifferent from others

[@animefan77]

Maybe Bleach is post apocalyptic and the Soul King was one of the last survivors of the past time of futuristic marvels to explain all the odd things that are too advanced for the time period

[@xaxally]

28:06 I think he ended up in this time/era after he got washed by the primordial sea. Basically he got teleported to the future after that incident.

[@villecor8765]

They probably just conquered all teritories where quincies lived

[@JakeMatthews-OnLo]

I still question Bleach’s history books with Yhwach being a king and conquered a large part of Europe. Also is Yhwach’s Other Half still being born because I would find it funny if that’s what Yuzu is and how she’s the one hollows always go for in the story.

[@matheusbecker2351]

This is something that always bugged me. How in the world would people in the Living World not know about Yhwach? Dude was a tyrant, conquering lands left and right. It makes no sense, unless the Quincies were somehow living isolated from the other humans. Either way, it is kind of weird.

[@NeonForceGetsuga]

@@matheusbecker2351 Burn the Witch can talk about it but when it comes to Karakura town, that's like surprised that my neighbor never heard of Hitler or Stalin.

[@eggmcmuffin6067]

⁠@@matheusbecker2351tbf we haven’t seen people in the world of the living say whether they know who Yhwach is or not. For all we know people in the world of the living do know Yhwach, and chances are high they likely do know about his empire at least. Keep in mind his living kingdom ended over 1000 years ago, so unless you’re a history buff chances are high the average person would not know. How many leaders of the Holy Roman Empire do you know? Does the average person know who Clovis, king of the Franks is? We also don’t know just how large the Lichtreich was, if it was a total European conquest or a relatively smaller empire. So there’s nothing to say he was Caesar or Alexander level, considering his true goal has always been the Soul Society. I do agree though what it would be good to get a definitive answer on this either in an anime added scene or extended material.

[@matheusbecker2351]

@@eggmcmuffin6067 Hmmm, you do have a point. Not only that, but he's also supposedly dead. If Hitler was alive today plotting against Jesus in heaven, the everyday human wouldn't suspect a thing.

[@Columbina3rdHarbringer]

Or 12 Stern Ritter as Zodiac signs

[@jaimeflor4181]

I agree, more background info about the Quincy’s pre-Sternritter era would been nice. Still, I enjoyed the episode and I’m looking forward to the finale. Btw, it’s good to hear you reviewing Bleach again! Back when these chapters were new, I was the art mod at Manga Helpers and I remember watching your vids on KZbin frequently.

[@supersonicmario56]

The bruisings on his arms specifically and the "my precious Jugo" line... I don't like the implications of that... Another way you could interpret it is that he's going with Yhwach because he's the one who indirectly saved him from his predicament. From Haschwalth's POV, revenge is something Bazz-B wants. He himself has no real purpose, and here come Yhwach, the man who not only relieved him of his burdening life but is also giving him a purpose. Also, since Bazz's whole deal was to get revenge on Yhwach, why would he be genuinely surprised by Yhwach's betrayal? Him, of all people, should've expected some form of retaliation after trying to kill him once before.

[@RUS12388991]

These 4 quincies who were with Yhwach were confirmed to be Schutzstaffel 1000 years ago, which is why they're always with Yhwach and were with him during peace talks with Ichibei. So while Sternritter didn't exist, Schutzstaffel existed even back then. And there weren't any Schrifts back then. Schrifts happened only way later, as Lille was the first to get Schrifts. Just because they were sternritter back then doesn't mean Schrifts existed back then.

[@forger03]

31:53 On "nothing left to conquer" perhaps it was about the Quincies. Perhaps there were no Qui cies left unconquered. Perhaps They only cared about controlling the Quincies, the people whose spiritual powers had been awakened. Perhaps there was no one left worth it to conquer (that they knew of) in the realm of the living.

[@Shinntoku]

Yeah it's definitely about the Quincies. Given how Yhwach took out Bazz-B's family and the rumors of him being the father of all Quincies was spreading, it's pretty clear he was trying to unite all Quincies under his banner and killing those who refused to bow

[@evanjrclarke1079]

49:56 Yeah, my interpretation was always that when Basby gave him the look, he realized that Ywach was the only person who really needed him and saw him as useful rather than pathetic

[@rainestar82]

yup. everyone else pitied or hurt him but heres Yhwach basically saying "youre destined for greatness, you DO have a place"... of course thats gonna mess with his head. A lot of Jugrams characterization is unspoken and you have to know how to read between the lines.

[@davidsamet6969]

I like to think that it’s not the world of the living but what eventually becomes the shadow realm after it was a Quincy realm that is outside the life/death cycle which also explains the seemingly endless lives

[@mahkicarter]

I always like aloof characters like jugrem because you ending up have to look a bit more of why they seem so distant, this flashback arc ended up making me like him way more than i thought after not doing much for most of the arc,lol. I also think Jugrem is more irritated with uryu because uryu just like him was brought in by Yhwach and was given power and status but Uryu doesnt care about that if it meant abandoning his friends where Jugrem was willing to kill Bazz(his only friend)for it and doesnt understand why Uryu wouldnt do the same(jugrem is a bit Cray cray,lol)

[@pyramidkingbrandon9282]

What if Bazz B somehow got ahold of and snatched Yamamoto’s Bankai medallion? I know he’s not strong enough to wield it but would it increase his chances of victory here? Like if he attempted to use it, would nothing happen or would it be too much for him to handle?

[@arpadszabo661]

Probably wouldn’t be able to handle it and it would just melt him away as soon as he activates it. But even if he could, Jugo can just stand there, tank a fatal blow, and then reflect the damage with his ability and its the same outcome. Jugo’s and Uryu’s powers are pretty much cheat codes to the point where even Kubo’s only idea of showcasing them was when they transferred injuries between each other, because it would just win against most people instantly. Like Uryu did against the squad 0 captain

[@jamespadgett8660]

Jugrams's character is fine. Henchmen don't need tons of dialogue to be effective in storytelling. His purpose is to serve Ywach in his army, and he does that just fine. I'm positive we will get more scenes with him in the future than in the source material. He exhibits the same qualities as a Fraccion like Tesla for example. Was Tesla a "boring" character? I guess, but he was just Nnoitora's sidekick at the end of the day. He served his purpose.

Its possible that ywhach has been reborn many time since the soulking was sacrificed and was reborn again every 200 years however he died as a baby since he had no senses. He would have just been a mouth to feed when food was scarce.

[@AccelSternritter]

You're the only dude on earth that cares about time periods and stuff, it's irrelevant

[@hassmann2000]

Haschwalth is battling an internal conflict the entire time. His uncle **abused him so he was already broken inside. The BazzB shows up and becomes a friend which encourages Haschwalth to train. After Bazzb's home is destroyed, Haschwalth accompanies Bazz to get revenge. He also sets fire to the forrest to kill his uncle. Finally Yawach shows up and Bazz betrays him (because Bazz was meant to be the leader). So Haschwalth is loyal to Yawach because he gives him purpose. Even when Haschwalth dies we see he had Bazz's pin in his sword. So he was never balanced internally. And Yawach used him anyway. It's the same with As Nodt - who was living in fear so became the F.

[@alexanderberezin9052]

Ah yes, the divorce episode (I've watched too much MBT lately).

[@royalreptile923]

The episode still keeps that translation of Yhwach calling Bazz B a red headed child even when he doesn’t have red hair in the anime for some reason. I know Bazz B normally has red hair in the manga as seen in that chapter color spread of all the Sternritters in the manga years ago but it’s weird they kept that exact line. They should’ve either gave Bazz B red hair or change the translation to magenta haired child.

[@NeonForceGetsuga]

Nah, no need for that. We live in a world where orange hair people are called "redheads". Not only that, "red cabbage", "red onion" and so on.

[@Shinntoku]

Pink is just light red

[@Joltstor]

I thought it was over when Bazz B had the high ground. That’s what Obi Wan said…

[@goldmemberpb]

I thought the reason you went this powerpoint style route was to prevent videos from getting copyrighted? What's the point if the images are still getting copyrighted too? There's no music, no sound, no movement. It's just pictures which are also altered to specifically avoid copyright. You should just post a big middle finger everytime an image is claimed.

[@TheGuzeinbuick]

Question though: why did Ywach ransack Bazz's village to begin with? Unification wars, I guess.

[@Shinntoku]

Imo he was unifying the Quincies beneath him so he could solidify the myth that he was the father of all Quincies.

[@fire7384]

I had one of two thoughts of why the soul society didn’t get involved in the Quincy conquest in the human world one is because they where only killing people and not hollows it doesn’t seem like they get involved in human wars and I assume humans can still move on after being killed by a Quincy unlike hollows and the second is the other branches may not have established yet given the east branch had barely established at this point

[@arpadszabo661]

Haschwald is way too shallow. Now, we could say this about the vast majority of the quincies, because we barely know anything about them, but Haschwald has the screentime and role of someone who certainly shouldn’t be shallow. He’s Yuha’s certified good boy, and that’s it. I hope he gets some additional scenes in the anime, because if he stays like this and his only big role was a flashback for Bazz B… that kinda feels wasted for the right hand man of the main antagonist of the arc.

[@desmondmalone438]

12:41 that way we hate him can’t communicate with his best because he likes the all father more

[@Monty2289]

I totally agree and I said this in Mr. Tommo's review. But not just Jugram. I feel nothing for this relationship because its not presented in a way to make me care. One of my biggest gripe with TYBW is there's less on character development and is just an endless string of boss battles. People tend to forget that Bleach was not going in a good direction overall reception wise during the manga's final years. And I think if Kubo really wanted me (personally) to care he would have made Bazz and Jugram stand out more than 3 chapters worth of flash backs. Making Jugram more than a bishounen robot would have helped as well. Even though in the end Jugram DID/DOES care about his friend that is not how we're fed this content. Instead it looks like Jugram never cared about Bazz and was dragged along for a revenge ploy but it didn't matter because Bazz couldn't stand the idea of his friend getting their physical god's acknowledgement over him he actually becomes jealous. So all this talk about "friends" feels empty to me.

[@bqw2094]

@Gluemn well spoken , haswalth is just blonde bykuya appearance wise and his personality is pretty similar to him , and bazz b is just that standard battle hungry brute . A backstory for souken would jave made much more sense , it reminds me how wasted the ishida men were in the manga .

[@arpadszabo661]

Yeah, i saw that “friend” ending and i literally felt nothing. TYBW feels like a Naruto ultimate ninja storm game, where you have cool battles with very little story. All i saw in this episode was 2 villain fighting against each other and one of them dying, with an okay backstory, but not enough for me to care. I hoped the anime would take its time to expand on scenes like this too, but seems like extended scenes are only for bankais, which are cool, but don’t add much. At this point i’m just hoping Ichigo’s new bankai gets some time to shine before Yuha breaks it in half while also preparing myself for the silver arrow bs.

[@superelite5133]

@@arpadszabo661 ehhI don’t really agree I think it adds plenty of depth to both characters and the way it mirrors Uryu and ichigo is a great parallel I just think bazz B in general is a very interesting character and I like the story between the two but like again that’s just my personal opinion.

[@undeade.t7044]

the dichotomy of Jugo and Bazz has always been very interesting to me because on one hand you have Bazz who hates Yhwach for killing his family but on the other you have Jugo who is grateful to Yhwach for killing his abusive uncle

[@ivanbluecool]

Blonde female Quincy best girl. Wish she was given more screentime or even shown more. Good fight but it was a one sides stomp.

Question Not to hate or anything but why would we care about this characters I get it they are friend that used to like each other but I just don’t connect whit them they are introduced to late on bleach for that and I don’t really care. Well the whole arc was out of Nowhere they need it to focus more on que Quincy on the other arcs or have they threat looming on the characters because the only Quincy we’re ichida and his dad

You're exactly right, and I thought similarly. These two characters being friends is hinted at so subtly, and they aren't developed at all by this point in the story. I'm surprised this got it's own episode.

If I’m remembering my timeline right in our history at the time of Yhwach conquest the Viking age would have just been getting started so yeah none of those Quincy or the villagers who are likely also Quincy have era appropriate attire haha hell the girl in the beta version of the Royal Guard has a gun for crying out loud haha the first Generation Gotei must have come to the human world after they wiped out the Quincy to knock humans back a stage or two in development It is kinda a shame we don’t see Jugo aide as a neat detail with her as said by Liltotto is she was a Quincy that was actually stronger than some of the Sternritter and she was offered a Schrift but she turned down Yhwach because she was more loyal to Jugo but the cool thing around her is definitely the fact Jugo when he had the Almighty basically said okay some shit is going down in the future that will need Quincy so go save what Sternritter you can so really just the Bambi’s and what Soldat you can So anyone else hoping we get Lightning cat Yoruichi this core because who knows how long it will be before we get cour four

[@HExtraordinaire]

Don't forget, Yubaboongas can see the future. So he probably saw the fashion and the weapons and was like "yeah, that's mine now."

[@Shinntoku]

I think part of it is also that, because of the connection with Reio's left hand, Quincies represent advancement. They're visibly advanced and have all kinds of mechanical weaponry to contrast the Shinigami representing stillness and stagnation.

[@NeonForceGetsuga]

To me, Jugram didn't need any characterization upon to this point. If everyone shines throughout the story, the story would be blind.

[@Shady_br]

Kubo did confirm that burn the with and bleach are part of the same universe

[@kevinkovacs3131]

@@Shady_br Bleach takes place in Japan and Burn the Witch takes place in England

@@kevinkovacs3131 yes i'm aware of that. They both take place in the same universe but in different countries

@@Gluemn I am pretty sure it was just a wink to the Bleach fans after all the years, an inocuos easter egg. And people took it like "oh, yeah that makes perfect sense".

Yeah, im very confused why Yhwach has 3 irises this flashback, but in ichibei flashback he has 2. What did Yhwach do with the 3rd iris? This is one of those things thats weird from kubo. And i cant really defend it

Im here because I enjoy Tekking talking but damn, Bleach's stpry is like, really really terrible.

[@Shinntoku]

Wack take, Bleach rules

[@HurricaneDDragon]

I pretty much see Haschwalth and Bazz-B the way Tekking sees Hitsugaya. They bore me and they get focused on way more than they deserve.

[@thewarrior8497]

Jugram as the secondary antagonist getting alot of screentime makes sense imo. Also Toshiro is the goat. I do wonder if Tekkings opinion on him has somewhat changed now or if he likes him slightly more

[@VitaliyBoyko-oj4jn]

Yeah Jugram's always kind of been meh to me. His entire personality early on is just "Your Majesty." He only became interesting around this point but he was fumbled hard. He's also part of what I consider the worst fight in the series.

[@Abdinio-everything]

Imo this is one of the best fights. Not a fan of the end of jugram character but kinda get what kubo was doing it. Jugram just feels like a stoic guy but to say shallow is abit meh to me. As bazz b is very typical loud mouth character which we had so many characters like it.
