Im MOSTLY Stoked For MORE Of these Discussions AS WELL As the WAY That MAYBE THe Anime ALLOWS Kubo to Actually Fix it to His Originally Intended Ending which.... We all wanna See Soul King Aizen Dont we??? My Idea was him using his Dangai Bankai Kyoka Suigetsu to Make Ywach Functionally THINK He's Taken EVERYONE's Powers BUT Really its Aizen and some Group or people that SOMEWHAT Represent the Willpower of the Families that Cut Up the original Soul King so I dunno... Something Where Aizen Becomes GOD and No Longer NEEDS to Go Making Trouble Cause its ENOUGH TROUBLE Holding the Universe together or whatever.... and Maybe theres so Crazy Form where he controls ALL the Aspects of the Soul King By MAYBE Casting Kyoka On Himself with Tsukishima's ABility MAYBE Copied or something by some Cloning ability or whatever.... I dunno... We ALL Want More from all of that Ending Dont We?? I mean it ALREADY Requires Watching YOU to Really Hear the ENDING of the Story in ANY KIND of Meaningful FEELING Way doesnt it??? I mean the Hell OneShot WAS Amazing Too... THeres SO MUCH For New Bleach Show to do!!! and I cant wait to see it ALL Make sense in ways where SO MUCH MORE Happens in the Anime than the Manga Anyway and I wonder How Many Seasons would take to Get to Ywach depending on whatever plans... I HOPE They Know to ADD at least 75 Episodes of Kubo and all the BEST Filler Writers in History to Write NON FILLER NEW CANON STUFF TO FINISH THESE GRAND FIGHTS PROPERLY.... Excuse the AllCaps hehe But I cant Wait and This IS A GOOD ONE! Cheers I guess Now I should check on MrTommo Next? Feelin Bleachy AF right now you know? And just ran out of Bleach cleaning the toilet But WONT say that whatever about clorox thugh I DONT KNOW How its only ever the End of a bottle I get stuck with... WHATEVER Enough about REAL Bleach; Back To PROPER BLEACH innit cause We're All 15 As Fook... not in age but in spirit even if wed ALL Want Both Rukia and Orihime as Degenerates talking Manga on the Internet... :) Warms my heart Thinking HOW GOOD It COULD BE to See TYBW get Animated and HOPEFULLY Without all that "Oh that Plan for 16-20 Chapters to FInish? Yeah The BOARD Says You Get FOUR CHAPTERS, Kubo! Have Fun SHOVING EVERYTHING In their!" or WHATEVER The Fook that whole Mess was that HE DID Make it Interesting For HOW Smushed those Last 4 Chapters Feel considering BUT Thats all Stuff that I dont think was meant to be known or whatever.....

Ichigo still has his Hollow, Quincy, soul reaper, and fullbring powers. Tsukishima has the power to rewrite reality and he rewrote Ichigos Bankai breaking and him losing his powers. This is confirmed by Kubo during an interview for the one shot Hell chapter where he states Ichigo can chose to have a singular zanpakuto or dual wield. Meaning he still has two zanpakuto spirits.

[@shironadorei]

Nice theory. Although the only thing I disagree on is the assertion that Yhwach absorbs both Hollow and Quincy powers, leaving his Shinigami powers only. I'd argue that his Hollow and Shinigami powers are the same thing and are inseparable. For one, his hollow mask has always been with him from the very beginning, even during the SS arc, saving him numerous certain death scenarios. Second, we've been shown that Hollow Ichigo (Zangetsu) can use all powers associated with Zangetsu. If we assume that both Zangetsus are taken by Yhwach, then White Zangetsu (who is associated with both Hollow and Shinigami powers) and Black Zangetsu (who is associated with his Quincy powers) are both taken, then there's nothing left. This contradicts with what we see. He still has his powers to some extent. The veinlike network we see when Yhwach takes Ichigo's powers is similar to the design of Blut, so we can clearly see that his Quincy powers are taken. The others? Not so sure. Finally, it's been a fact that when Quincy and Hollow souls react in a volatile way if merged (recall Kurosaki Masaki). So despite Yhwach having godlike powers, there's nothing that states he's exempted from this reaction. So that's my 2 cents. peace

[@otislloyd-zollinger2579]

It's hard to say. Yhwach says he stole both, ichigo when falling down says he feels white dissappearing along with his quincy powers. That seems to make sense that ichigo lost his hollow powers

[@Snzn_7]

Ywach by absorbing the soul king become an entity that possess all the types of reiatsu, so the quincy counter hollow reiatsu won't be a thing for him

[@earlye5011]

A Soul Reaper's powers stem from within, from their Soul Chain and Soul Sleep. Think of it like a bottomless well or self-charging battery that slowly but constantly generates the Soul Reaper's powers. They cannot all be taken away because of this, you can only completely remove those powers by destroying those vital points. White, Ichigo's hollow powers, are the same as his Quincy powers: they have fused with his Soul Reaper powers but their source is external.

[@llouis9697]

Yhwach's first mistake is to go and talk to Aizen in the Muken, while he knew the abilities of aizen's zanpakuto as well as what kind of character he was dealing with. And once he was under the influence of Kyoka suigetsu, he can't escape from it, moreover Yhwach hadn't awakened the Almighty yet before he faced the 0 division.

I love how Yhwach is one of the only few who can exchange words with Aizen without getting outraged or emotional like every other character who faced Aizen This might just be me, but it gives it a Joker and Lex Luthor type of relationship; just two of the most important characters in Bleach as a whole, verbally and passive aggressively butting heads with each other

[@chipslight738]

I never believed why people wanted Ichigo to end up with Rukia when their dynamic was unprecedented in most manga at the time : she wasn't his lover, she was his confident. Orihime explained it best, Rukia as always been the one that managed to cheer up Ichigo even in his lowest moments and she's the one that enabled him to finally fight to protect others. She's the only person Ichigo can come to and open up about his weaknesses without being judged in the slightest. Hell, he doesn't even need to talk and she still finds out how upset Ichigo feels. Having them become lover would've undermine the immense trust and respect they have for each other so I'm really happy they did end up with each other. That and the fact that Ichigo went with Orihime feets his prude nature around other more mature-looking women.

I have this feeling that Kubo was using the pacing to emphasize their need to not give any ground to Yhwach. No long pauses. No monologuing. Just pushing and gaining momentum. And that the exposition we get is from Sōken, a realization deep from within Yhwach as to how he created his own downfall through his hubris and culling of his own “children”. Just a thought

[@ELcoyote576]

A bleach video? Graveyard shift just got brighter. Thanks my dude.

[@Snzn_7]

I like how the final battle don't make way gor the heroes to showcase their fullpowers since it makes the fight grave and highstakes. Like if the Final boss can just nerf you, would he really let those who oppose him let them get to a level where they will be threat. Of course no. So thus when Ywach battled the O squad. Would Ywach even vbring cannon fodders witg him just for the 0 squad to tell the audience they were strong? Of course not, Ywach will let thr ones who can actually beat the 0 squad since he really is planning on beating them.

[@yanows05]

Excellent video, love how you managed to explain it all. There's just one thing that still bugs me to this day: If Yhwach had the ability to see and alter the future, shouldn't that allow him to see that he was going to be affected by Kyoka Suigetsu beforehand? I've been wondering how that is supposed to work.

i appreciate this video so much , i had many confusions on the last few chapters , i would have paid more attention while reading those chapter if i had experience with connecting the dots , as a manga reader and a youtuber you pay a lot of attention to every decision made you laid every event chronologically which makes the general viewer understand easily , if bleach had always been like this giving the audiences every hint and rather explaining make them read between the lines , i am sure we would have become accustomed to it , and not many of us would have been confused . thanks

[@mattofthe7pathes]

Also the theory on Ichigo's full bankai abilities makes sense to me. I never could figure it out, so it's interesting to see what other people think. I hope the anime expands on some of these scenes between characters and it's under the supervision of Kubo himself, but I'm not expecting much. I just want to see the arc animated (AND WITHOUT ANY F****KING FILLERS NARUTO!!!). I get that and I'll be happy 😊

[@olo703]

Yhwach can manipulate the future that he sees, even when the future he is seeing is a fabrication made by Kyoka Suigetsu. That means that when he cracks Ichigo's Bankai, he was attempting to break the illusory Bankai. It wasn't luck that saved Ichigo's Zanpakuto, as Yhwach assumes; it was Aizen's hypnosis.

[@why3643]

Actusly it was hawards that help them defeat him he told him about a vision he had about him dying to ichigoa old shiakia the thing is hsward told him that it was nightmare instead of a illusion so when he saw until the future he thought it was a nightmare and not a vision thus ichigo catcjinf him bt suprise

@@murica7977 Ichigo by himself is not a threat. At that point, why doesn't Yhwach delete everyone that exists? Anyway, Kyoka Suigetsu makes it so that Yhwach can't distinguish the Ichigo that he is editing from a fake one fabricated by Aizen.

I don’t know how anyone thought rukia and ichigo would end up together … they are like siblings. Much like his father, ichigo is to fall in love with a human, which was shown many times through out the show, including my favourite part which is the fight with ulquiorra.

For the expansion of the anime, I hope we get to see the full potential of the True Tensa Zangetsu before Yhwach breaks it and before it takes the likeness of the OG Shikai Zangetsu. Plus wouldn't hurt to see more new Getsuga Tenshō techniques from Ichigo. And maybe just maybe Aizen's and Isshin's and Ukitake's Bankai.

To be honest, Tskushima was criminally overlooked. Even though Yhwach knew it, he shouldve knew that Tskushima wouldve been an heavy threat also.

[@MrBigall]

Love this explanation. The ending was so rushed.

[@xX_Lord_Headass_Xx]

Considering how Aizen had a hole blown through his chest by Yhwach, what if that whole sequence of events was itself an illusion? Renji losing his arm, proceeding to be revealed as Ichigo, then turning into Aizen... What if Aizen wasn't actually wounded at all and it was just a multi-layered illusion to serve as a diversion? Assuming there's a lot more going on "behind the scenes" that was never shown explicitly, it would actually explain a lot more than just the final fight. What if Aizen was using Kyouka Suigetsu even before he himself showed up...?

[@asianpersuasion4901]

Two things to say 1) aizen was pretending to be both ichigo and renji, that’s why when renji lost his arm, aizen was later shown missing an arm. However, there is a panel of aizen using goryu tenmetsu and his left arm is intact (I’m basing off this video, this might not be accurate) 2) my head canon is that ywatch was so powerful aizen had to physically take the place of the others to make it believable. Cause he’s been shown to literally “not be there”, but didn’t do that here, since aizen is injured when ichigo arrives

[@xX_Lord_Headass_Xx]

@@asianpersuasion4901 Interesting. The main reason I always assumed he had been using his ability since before he announces it, is because he frankly just uses the same tactic repeatedly. Create a complex illusion, layer upon it as needed, repeat. The only way I can see Yhwach actually seeing through his ability is by carefully observing every single future and carefully dissecting the differences between each one, rather than just choosing randomly between those where he wins. It mostly came down to Yhwach's overconfidence and not even taking AIZEN seriously. Plus, the scene of Aizen missing his arm and being impaled could have been an illusion as well. Remember, his ability goes beyond the senses, and it's literally impossible to know what's real or fake when Aizen is involved.

[@malekfradi7149]

Mind blowing to me people still think Renji is present here…it’s all kyoka. Up until ichigo cuts him it’s all him screwing with Yhwach

[@Atticus-Catnipp]

I hope this fight will be expanded in the anime. Rukia and Uryuu should have also joined in

[@anzeojackson3963]

True . Like a super strong ice blast strengthen from her recently learning Bankai helps.

[@alluripraveen5842]

And one more Important point I think most of BLEACH fans doesn't know . when yhwach meets aizen his mouth was sealed he can't talk means he uses Kyouka suigetsu to talk. Man What a badass😎

[@Prushinthespirit]

The thing I'd really like to see expanded in adaptation is all about Ryuken Ishida. To see him (as an adult) for once losing his chill and confronting Yhwach, face to face. Because he has more reasons to hate Yhwach than any other character in Bleach. Because of him, Ryuken lost his wife, who was close to him since his childhood, his childhood friend he cared so much about, most likely his mother and other quincies he knew. He truly deserves a spotlight much more emotional than just straight giving Ishida a key to defeat a villain. You'd think that he would choose to try and defeat the source of his suffering by himself first, maybe even dying in process, instead of risking to lose his son - the only family member that he still has. Because we've already seen that he's not a cold-blooded robot of a character: he's always willing to help Ishida, he actually cared about Katagiri, he was scared for Masaki's life. And he still has it but all the deaths around him made him lock this soft side deep inside.

[@Snzn_7]

The thing with letting Ishida use the arrow, is Ryuken trusting his son also with this, it shows you that he is not so self absorb with his revenge that he forgot to consider Ishida within his plans.

Wouldnt it be broken ash if ichigos bankai ability "the ability to change fate" worked in the way as to which upon activation of his true bankai, no matter ichigos motive or objective, he cannot mentally nor physically lose due to zangetsu(s) themself providing him with the definite victory in battle upon the millions of possibilities and also allowing him to create a plethra of his own where when activating true bankai ichigo constantly creates and alters every future, past, and present where he would lose and it changes to him winning everytime.

[@0eyes]

That would just be plot armor

[@boomynote]

It’s hard to explain but I think his ability isn’t to change his fate to be a definite victory, but rather it prevents a definite defeat. If his fate is for him to lose no matter what, he doesn’t change his to to be to win no matter what but rather opens up the possibility to win by shattering fate

[@VidMediumNS]

all of you missed the deep love renji and rukia already had. rukia and renji loved each other since they were kids, but the love was strained, until Ichigo kicked renji in the butt for not being honest with Rukia about his feelings. Ichigo never ever saw rukia romantically. If anything he saw her as another one of his sisters and rukia looked up to ichigo as the protective brother she'd wanted since byukia also needed his butt kicked by ichigo for being too much about duty and not enough about family. Ichigo and orihime did not love each other right away, but it definitely developed over the adventures first being realized by orihime then by ichigo when she's kidnapped. He realizes how much her quiet support and faith had always meant to him and how her love had filled the sadness in his heart. If you missed this then you don't get to comment on anything bleach because this was basic internal conflict. Do you guys really know ichigo's desires at all? I mean really did no one see the ichigo was suicidal in the beginning of the story? rukia gave him hope to live because he'd been burdening himself so much over his feelings of guilt to not protect his mother from dying. Rukia needed to be the tough big sister who gave him the chance to gain closure for this. But Orihime was the natural path for ichigo. This was even easily represented by the choice in the color of their hair and how much orihime resembled ichigo's own mother. Rukia was always too much the tomboy where as Orihime was gentle and smiling like his mother. If you missed this then you need need need to go back.
