I Finally Reached “Peak” Bleach, Ichigo’s Bankai!

[@SavantPete]

Calling Ichigo versus Byakuya the same as Gaara versus Rock Lee with swords is accurate but inaccurate at the same time 😂

they call it in the dub translation Piercing Heaven

[@crashtime3429]

fang or flash. but that's the accurate translation. I remember bc of jump force

[@turinturambar1688]

Tensa zangetsu is Heavenly chained slaying moon, getsuga tensho is moon fang heaven peircer

[@Rhekon]

You can tell what the accurate translation is of the blade and its attack once you consider it provides meta context. Can't reach the moon by conventional methods, but ichigo is the exception. He's the one you bet on despite how we find out his power works later. No beyond that, I'm not getting specific despite the lore drop is basically a spoiler 😂

[@kelvinallen9327]

Naruto & Bleach are my top 1 fav series. But I hate when people always try to compare everything to naruto. Like, how else is Ichigo suppose to hit Byakuya. Even The Flash would need to use the same tactic as Ichigo. 👍

They are the same fight. the important parts are what make the difference in ALL good comparisons

[@kelvinallen9327]

@@letsgobrandon1906 You do realise, that this part of the fight is only the first part? The fight is not over. Ichigo uses this strategy against Tsuckishima & Ginjo. He uses his speed to create after images to confuse his opponent. The Flash does it too, Was The Flash inspired by Rock Lee too?

[@firepuppies4086]

Also reminder... Most soul reapers spend years training for their Shikai.... Much less Bankai, consider how recently Ichigo got his powers. Sadly, he hasn't learned much in the way of "Magic"

Sage i want you to know sum, this arc will gaslight you into thinking this show got sum kind of bankai bargain sale, after this arc don’t expect every character to have one.

[@Weeniewarrior15]

@@xeno8131 how did you get to that conclusion. We’ve know based on the story so far that pretty much captains or 2nd Lieutenant with the skills of a captain are the only people with a bankai. Having ichigo obtain one in unprecedented speed just explain how much potential he has and not that it’s a simple achievement anyone can get. Hell we barely see most of the captains unleash their bankai and have only show their zanpakto due to their restriction set upon them.

[@xeno8131]

@ i have seen a lot of people react to bleach and majority of them have this problem of thinking bankai is normal thing and i think this arc is the reason why
