Ichigo always had endless potential, however after soul society arc up until his encounter with tensa zangetsu, doubt and despair began imbuing into him (as mention by gin ichimaru during their fight and afterwards by tensa zangetsu) that nerfed his abilities. Ichigo in this state was still able to sense aizen that foreshadowed how his abilities would exponentially increase once he would regain his resolve. His stamina feat is much astonishing, considering he spent 3 months training and straight up went to dominate aizen of all people.

The "mountain destruction" was never about them using spiritual pressure, but rather just the deflected offshoot kinetic energy obliterating mountains as they continuously swing their swords. Aizen casually launched a blast that out performed nuclear warheads just to "show off" his new strength to ichigo, but he could have easily launched 6 of those at the same time.

[@TheDanubeDepleter]

After looking back at the design of Final Getsuga Tenshō and contemplating the implications of the appearance of Ichigo's shihakusho in bankai, as well as Getsuga Tenshō's evolution throughout the series as a technique till the point of Mugetsu's utilization, I've arrived at a conclusion of sorts. Final Getsuga Tenshō might not even be a separate form. I think it's simply what occurs when Dangai Ichigo uses Getsuga Tenshō. Initially, Getsuga Tenshō is just a jagged and unkempt, almost, linear wall of immense reiatsu, then we see black Getsuga, which is more consistent throughout, so to speak, and fluid, like a traditional wave. We then see it wrap around Zangetsu, and I suppose the final stage of Ichigo's merging with Zangetsu(s) would see that the Getsuga enshrouds not only Zangetsu in black reiatsu, but Ichigo's own body, seeing as the two have become so intimately linked. Really explains why FGT's features are the same midnight black as white's own signature black Getsuga Tenshō; that's exactly what it is, it's the reiatsu gathered by performing a normal Getsuga (in bankai) which would usually converge around Zangetsu, converging instead upon him. It's just that now both halves of his soul are accounted for in that Getsuga, I suppose. It makes sense that this would happen too, in a way. His shihakusho is representative of his reiatsu, so it being drastically altered by him forcing out _all of it_ makes sense. We interestingly see it similarly disperse as pure reiatsu upon Ichigo's defeat at the hands of Ulquiorra where he was run through the heart, revealing his standard shihakusho beneath. He was not _at all_ lying when he said he _became_ Getsuga, he is literally wrapped in one made of his very reiryoku. Also, I appreciate the poetic beauty of Mugetsu, for when Ichigo uses it, his slaying moon is no more, and laid to rest, replaced, instead, by a tranquil moonless sky. Kubo is goated.

[@kushagrasharma5402]

This form is one of my all time favourite variants in many a history. Not only bcuz of design and it's feat but also what this form represent, everything Ichigo went through mentally and physically. Its just a very poetic form.

[@masamune2984]

I will always love how the fight with Aizen didn’t play out ANYTHING like I had predicted, or like a lot of Shonen anime. The fact that Ichigo could not only wipe the absolute floor with Aizen, but feels somewhat “sad” (for lack of a longer, deeper breakdown) about how outclassed Aizen is…man…it was just a great final battle. 🙂

I think the reason some people think that the fragor feat makes Monster Aizen mountain level is because they forget about the whole reishi density thing.

It's very likely that the fragor was an incredibly dense reishi attack.

[@olivierl.anklebab2624]

Was there a chance that once obtaining the ability to perform 'mugetsu', Ichigo indirectly lost the capability to use the "normal" Getsuga Tenshou? In the sense that, if he mentally decided to use the technique, Zangetsu and Ichigo would just transform into Getsuga himself, initiating the final Getsuga Tenshou. Almost like a condition: the next Gestuga Tenshou WILL be your final, period. Edit: grammar

[@ClydeYouTuber]

Very likely, I’ve thought that myself.

[@SinHurr]

Bleach has a strong correlation between "names" and strength; knowing the name of an attack makes it stronger, chanting a kido spell makes it stronger (kinda related), knowing the name of your Zanpakuto allows shikai, etc. With that in mind, I can't imagine that he'd be completely locked out of normal Getsuga Tenshou until actually triggering the "Final Getsuga Tenshou", which would then just be the Mugetsu. Sort of like how Yumichika calls the wrong name for his Shikai to stunt its proper transformation, and how Renji's bankai is incomplete until after his training with the Zero Squad reveals his zanpakuto's _proper_ bankai name. Do it right, or it all goes sideways.

[@doomdimensiondweller5627]

Also Mugetsu's design is cool. I didn't get the bandages at first either but there is a reason for it. As is common knowledge by this point in Bleach there is a release beyond Bankai where in you merge with your Zanpakuto. Aizen has this Dangai Ichigo has this. The reason Ichigo is wrapped with Reiraku. Is because he wraps his first for Shikai with them and it's meant to show he has merged with his Zanpakuto. Also them being Black is meant to show his transcendence. Also he has red eyes just like Yhwach.

@@mikeoxlong9955 yeah. now that you mention it, ever since we learned that his quincy side was secretly his default powers until the forging of True Zangetsu, I had a hunch that him losing his "Shinigami" powers after using Mugetsu can be taken as him using his version of Quincy "Letzt Stil".

If communication is the key between a zanpakto and a shinigami... Dangai Ichigo is the state where they are so in sync they no longer have to communicate. Hence his stillness. Edit: It's a solution to the "King and the Horse," riddle Ogihci presented to him before. You don't have a power struggle if you're both the horse and the king, and, hence, no waste whatsoever in power or decision. It's not that Ichigo _gained_ power, it's that he simply stopped wasting it.

[@dweller132]

The way you put it makes the most sense, honestly. And just regarding Ichigo in general, it's actually quite interesting and mysterious that he even has a zanpakuto. From what we know in TYBW, Oetsu is the only person capable of making them and Ichigo just poofs one into existence, albeit not a fully realized one. Although I'm not 100% certain it's because of the Hogyoku that was in Rukia's chest at the time, it could be capable of manifesting an approximation of a physical zanpakuto given everything else it's been shown to do. Dangai Ichigo and Aizen both became *approximations* of the strength of the Royal Guard, somewhere between normal Shinigami and Royal Guard. Therefore, the pre-TYBW Zangetsu sword is an approximate replica of a standard zanpakuto, with the obvious differences being that it holds Ichigo back somewhat power-wise and it didn't start as an asauchi. I doubt that many characters in the Bleach universe are able to tell it's not a real zanpakuto, maybe Aizen, Urahara, or Mayuri could. Though, from what we've seen in the TYBW anime so far, Mayuri doesn't seem to be able to tell. This is more of an on-the-spot ramble, but I think it's an interesting topic to think about and/or fully work out with enough time and effort.

[@aidanklobuchar1798]

I'm pretty sure it's just a spirit sword, like some of the Qunicy use. It also tracks with Old Man Zangetsu creating a bunch of fake blades out of nowhere for Ichigo's Bankai training. Also, Dangai Ichigo and Hogyoku Aizen would SLAP the Royal Guard. Either one would make what Ywach did look gentle.

[@Deadpool-px2nm]

There's a reason for it but I'm not gonna say it cuz the anime hasn't covered it yet (I'm guessing you're an anime-only). All your questions about Ichigo having a "zanpakuto" not made by Oetsu will be answered in due time Just be careful around KZbin; there are a lot of manga spoilers around here.

​@@Deadpool-px2nm spoilers for a decade old manga 😂

[@JaredaSohn]

I would say that his og Zanpakto is essentially a real zanpakto. Made of the same substance, functions the same way, ig there could be some potential of it minorly impacting his overall output but I really don't think so. In fact I think og Zangetsu would have augmented his powers further (positively) if anything else.

[@MythicPi]

Hey Clyde, something I wanted to point out about the mountain evaporating in the dangai vs aizen fight. Aizens casual sword swings are not the ones whipping mountains away, its only when Ichigo parries the swing that the landscape is destroyed. The only swing Aizen makes that actually changes the landscape without contact like Ichigo's parries is his full power swing that Ichigo catches. Ichigo is so beyond Aizens power at that stage that his casual parrying of Aizens attacks do more damage than Aizens full power swings. Its probably not a super important detail but I figured I'd point that out.

For me it was more about how they managed to show him exude confidence, power, and control in a matter-of-fact way.

Imagine if during the Cell arc, Gohan managed to reach SSJ 2 or even Mystic form earlier than intended (but the audience wasn’t shown this), came out of the training chamber, and days before the cell games even started he visited Cell and looked at him with actual pity and such sadness that communicated to the viewer that the fight was far, far beneath him and meaningless. It would give you the same chills, as you’d see Cell refusing to accept that internally every fiber of his being already accepted defeat, and he’s too ashamed to admit it.

It's kinda insane to think about, considering how each of those same Sternritter were way stronger than the post time-skip Captains.

[@ch0getsu]

It never referred to Horn of Salvation that Yhwach statement referred to True Shikai Ichigo but even then the Yhwach statement is funny. The Blade is me is much better proof as Zangetsu himself stated that until now ichigo has only been using a fraction of his power meaning all of his previous forms are weaker than his post royal guard training level of power. The only reason why ichigo wasn't trancended when he fought the sternritters is because he was being casual not serious at all. We know this because when he confronts Yhwach with Orihime in the final fight Yhwach comments on Ichigo's spiritual pressure. It's pretty evident that Ichigo was holding back against anyone who isn't Yhwach

Thank you very much

You mention Isshin being of a royal bloodline. If who I saw in the TYBW episode is Isshin, does that technically mean that Kukaku is family to Ichigo?

[@ClydeYouTuber]

Correct

[@packy000stanek6]

kukaku already refered to ishin in new anime as her uncle so yes

Dangai is the 3rd stage after bankai that a soul reaper can achieve where the zanpakuto starts to merge with the soul reaper body and Mugetsu is the 4th where is becomes one with the body (same was shown with Aizen's transformations) + all the powers that Ichigo has from all the other races. And now imagine all that but with his perfected zanpakuto.

[@ClydeYouTuber]

Good point, it explains why Yamamoto’s flames become apart of himself in bankai.

[@vvvykthor1000]

@@ClydeKZbinr it hints to that but still is something beyond bankai, more fair to compare to the form from brave souls

Also goes to show how strong Aizen's immortality is if he survived Mugetsu. They really had to tie him to that chair because nobody is able to kill him.

[@Devil-ig7kl]

On top of that he was getting close to Dangai... He closed soo much gap just in one transformation

if you pay attention in the anime its actually Ichigo's sword swings that are disintegrating the mountains not aizen if you look at the trajectory of the swings

[@blacksabbath5300]

It’s just his casual parries. Ontop of this, there’s no shockwave effect. The effects in manga and anime all point to spiritual pressure waves disintegrating mountains. The most evidence available for this instance is ichigo casually erasing matter with a sliver of his spiritual power…

[@doublearonproductions5739]

Hey Clyde, love your videos brother. Could you maybe explain how Ichigo's powerscaling works throughout the series (including manga would be great). Basically a video where you rank ALL of Ichigo's forms at different parts of the story by power. I've seen a lot of contention on this topic with people saying that his badge made him weaker and that somehow soul society Ichigo is stronger than the Ichigo who fights Ulquiorra the first time, and some even say soul society Ichigo is Ichigo's strongest form behind Vasto Lorde and Dangai. If you could explain this topic in a video I think it would clear up a lot of confusion for a big part of the community. Thanks!

[@JaredaSohn]

I second this, would love to hear Clyde's opinion on it!

[@cochino9429]

My dude your videos are amazing

[@jamescameron-stuart2625]

Correct me if I'm wrong. In the last chapter of the Aizen arc, Rukia states (based on Urahara) that the time lapse the body experienced in the Dangai flows backwards. This would seem to suggest that he was always going to revert to just before he went into the Dangai but since he used Mugetsu, he just lost his powers completely. Which is a shame if true as Dangai Ichigo would've made later parts very trivial. Although it does read that Ichigo losing his soul reaper powers is the catalyst which is making the Dangai time flow backwards, suggesting that if he kept his powers he would've stayed as Dangai Ichigo. What are your thoughts Clyde? Love the vids anyway.

[@historyking9984]

I disagree regarding Yamato. That statement is completely based on his mentality and how back then he would’ve exploited everything and everyone and he’s gotten weak. If Yamato wasn’t a threat physically then there would be no reason to use a fake to fight him. Yamato now cares about his subordinates as shown by his extreme rage at his vice captain being killed and his banki stolen and used. He went out of his way to kill the dude who took it and to mock him. He was so angry that he didn’t notice that the Yheatch he was fighting wasn’t the real one or even close to as powerful nor did he use any abilities specifically to Yhwatch. He fought Yhwatch before and the twin he fought can’t copy abilities only appearances and memories. He literally didn’t have to use the other directions of his bank to beat fake Yhwatch at all but chose to do so

[@goldenrose223]

I think dangai is a form anyone in ichigos soul reaper blood line can reach. I think it's even theorized that that is what was used by their elder to help put down the soul king.

[@bookmew1081]

This form was just as overpowered as I remembered it being, it is the form that always left the biggest impression in the Bleach Anime. The series could have very well ended with Aizen's defeat with Final Getsuga Tenshou being the Climax. Of course, then the series continued with new antagonists & Ichigo trying to regain some of his lost power.

[@Speello]

we needa video of dangai ichigo and tybw ichigo scaling. I need an intellectual like you clyde to explain which is stronger 😭

[@JaredaSohn]

[@rezur2035]

I think it'd be cool if you made a video of how well Vasto Lorde Ichigo would fair in the TYBW arc Sternritter, The Zero Division and even against some of the newly improved captains of the Gotei 13.

[@gammafrost]

I’d say vasto lorde ichigo could defeat most of the sternritter with the exception of elites such as Gerard, Lille, Pernida, and probably Hashwalth. I’d say when it comes to the improved captains, vasto lorde would probably struggle against Bankai kenpachi but still defeat adult toshiro and royal training byakuya with mid difficulty

[@1erickf50]

@@gammafrost Very accurate, as the furious Bankai Fullbring Ichigo that faced Yhwach was equal to the same Vasto Lorde form.

[@gammafrost]

@@1erickf50 which is crazy to think about because even the vasto lorde that dominated ulquiorra only had about half of the shihakausho which meant he was around half the power. I’m curious how much better you think fullbring Bankai ichigo would have been if ginjo never stole the majority of his fullbring power

[@travischappell7417]

Thanks for that perspective of aizen showing ichigo how easy it is to reach him that’s scary bc that means he wa even higher than the vasto at base 😮

I would personally say ichigo got 100s of times stronger from getting healed after the ulquiorra fight. He is now strong enough to damage aizen something no of the captain level shinigami could do The captain level shinigami being able to beat harribel who in her release state should be stronger than ulquiorra first release Ichigo also is captain level by unohana statement even when he has 40% and below reiatsu left There’s also aizen intentionally protecting his neck but that could just him being cautious TLDR Ichigo(aizen vs everyone) is at bare minimum as strong as 2nd release ulquiorra if not stronger using the mask

[@ClydeYouTuber]

Nah, I’ve already proven it’s impossible in multiple videos.
