Ichigo To SAVE Soul Society!.....Wait...No? Bleach Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 7 Reaction

[@Kal911]

19:02 exactly, Aizen himself stated that he was fusing with his zanpakuto, however onve urahara told he was rejected by the hogyoku then many thought he only lost his sword for good, but as Ichigo stated Aizen wasn't rejected by the hogyoku, he simply wished to return a shinigami again deep in his heart. Here the confirmation, Yhwach said that he is fused with hogyoku (hence he wasn't rejected) and then he said he altered his sense. Which means that now Aizen can cast perfect hypnosis if you look at him, since he became one with his kyoka suigetsu.

Ichigo was actually using the hollow powerset in the beginning. That sensory ability was Pesquisa, which the Arrancar use, and the flash step was actually sonido. Shit's cool.

to expand on this, he's now not using his mask because he's pretty much always using his hollow powers now, evident by the white ornaments on his outfit

Hold on, how can you tell the difference? His Soul Reaper and hollow powers were supposedly always melded together. If anything, he should have been using Hirenkyaku the whole time for high speed movement, and Quincy sensory abilities.

My 2 favorite scenes in this episode 1. Anime only’s finally got confirmation Ichigo’s mom was a Quincy 2. Aizen is still a massive problem even though he’s sealed up and in jail, he was still able to alter this really powerful enemy’s senses despite that.

[@Illue]

"My son born in the dark" is a metaphor... Since Ywach considers all quincies as his extended family and Ichigo was born and grew up without any knowledge of being a quincy.

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

To think Aizen of all people would be the one to save Soul Society and not Ichigo here. Imagine that.

[@jeyrm]

Aizen is a G Although Yhwach was going to keep crushing SS and only decided to walk away when he felt Ichigo

[@linkszxx]

Aizen had to save his true son

[@saintgeekSG]

It's a collaboration between the two. Both of them contributed to saving the soul society by using some of yhwach's remaining time. Even with aizen's interference, if ichigo hadn't kept yhwach there until he went back, yhwach would have went around bodying every captain, especially now that they can't use bankai.

[@juckoosaurus]

Yamaji was referring to himself in that scene with Shunsui He was a ruthless monster when the gotei 13 was started, leading what was essentially a bunch of vicious criminals and murderers. When it ended pretty much that Yamaji war ended he changed over the years. Its probably one of my favourite little scenes from this arc

[@dweller132]

Byakuya's speech perfectly sums up why Yamamoto failed, since the two are fairly alike characters. Yamamoto's sense of honor and duty prevented him from explicitly asking for help from humans, even if those humans were capable of doing so. The most he ever asked for was Ichigo's help as Ichigo is capable and at least on par with several of the captains. As contrast, Byakuya's sense of honor and duty prevented him from outright asking for help, but he accepts or indirectly allows others to help. Yamamoto's failure to ask for help and his stubborn pride and anger are his downfall. Komomura (the doglike captain) is probably the better of the honor-bound characters, his honor doesn't prevent him from asking or accepting help. While it's his direct subordinates most of the time, Komomura actively directs them according to whatever plan is decided on.

2 Factors why it easily broke 1. Ichigo having self doubt since a zanpakuto represents the soul of its owner. Him having self doubts probably weakened his soul > weak the integrity of his sword 2. Jugrams schrift. Not spoiling it but manga readers would understand why

Aizen is technically still fused with his zanpakuto. And being within certain range of him puts you within range of his spiritual pressure. He can still mess with you within certain range. The dude is basically an Uchiha without the eyes at this point. They got genjutsu'd from him by simply saying hello.

[@GAZAMAN93X]

@18:46 how? Well remember. When Aizen & Ichigo achieved their transcendent forms in FKT arc Aizen merged with his zanpakuto Kyouka Suigetsu. The moment Yuha came within Aizen's vicinity & laid eyes on him he was already under Aizen's influence.

[@jescer8859]

Great reaction guys, this show is peak. These last two episodes have so much to unpack. The call backs to prior episodes is just peak. Remember Kenpachi saying how much stronger a sword is when it is used with two hands. Yamato was not at 100 strength when he fought fake Yhwach as he couldn't bring the full power of his bankai to bear. Ichigo's uniform being in tatters shows that he used a large amount of energy to break out of the jail. Remember he told Captain Unohana that his uniform was part of his bankai and that if it is damaged it means his power is diminished. Also Yamato grabbing Yhwach's leg in defeat the same way Ichigo grabbed Byakua, chef's kiss.

And this is why the change of spiritual pressure being Yellow in the new anime is important, you can clearly see the difference between his three powers by the colours, Yellow is Soul Reaper, Red is Hollow and Blue is Quincy. Also some people pointed out that Ichigo seemed to be using Pesquisa when he saw the spiritual pressures disappearing and that the sound effect of his speed sounded more like a Sonido than a Flash Step. If that's on purpose then it really goes out to show how used he is to using Hollow and Soul Reaper technics at the same time

[@SIDASOKA]

Ummm just a minor correction. Ichigo's spiritual pressure was always golden yellow. It was the OG director or producer for some reason IDK what, they changed it to blue amongst others changes. I know it's tit bit. Sorry about that 😅.

More like 1. 33,3% Soul Reaper 2. 33,3% Hollow 3. 33,3% Human (Subspecies) = Quincy - and Fullbringer Quicys and Fullbringers are not a race, they are just enhanced Humans. Although the percentage is not definite as all of his powers were merged with his Shinigami powers which are Fullbring and Hollow with the only exception of Quincy before True Shikai. So technically 1. 50% Shinigami/Hollow/Fullbring 2. 50% Human/Quincy Although 1. Is should be more as those powers are more adamant in the end lol. It's complicated

Both of you are wrong. Ichigo is 25% human, 25% hollow, 25% Quincy and 25% Soul Reaper. The other "races" that people frequently confuse him for (Fullbringer and Visored) are not actually races in themselves, but merely various configurations of the 4 basic components.

I was distraught over this ep when it came out Cuz I love Byakuya and he seemed dead. So many revelations also happened that I didn't know what to make of. And then there was Aizen trolling Yhwach. What a rollercoaster of emotions this ep was

[@secondubly]

I had a bit of free time so I thought I'd address one of Director's points about the Japanese that Yhwach was speaking at the end there with Ichigo. I wrote out the kanji and broke it down line by line just because I felt it was good practice (I'm a bit rusty as I haven't had to speak it in years and only really read and write it nowadays so I had to watch the episode in slow-mo to catch what he was saying, if I missed anything someone else please correct me!) さらば、黒崎一護 = Goodbye, Ichigo Kurosaki (the "Goodbye" used here: サラバ, is kind of old-fashioned, I've never actually heard anyone use this in real life) いずれまたのためにくる= I'll come back for you again (gonna be honest this one was hard for me to hear, auditory processing issues and all that. I think I got the gist though) 傷を癒して待つがいい = Heal your wounds and wait (pretty straightforward this one) 闇に生れしはま息子よ = My son born in the darkness The last line there he uses the word musuko (息子) which literally just means son; there's not really anything special or weird about the kanji either, it's just a common word for son (in case you wanted to know, the female version is 娘, musume). Fun fact that I didn't know (because I've never actually heard it used this way), musuko (むすこ) can also be used to mean penis, though it seems to be explicitly written in kana, not kanji - I guess to differentiate the two? So I guess it's kind of meant to be ambiguous based on what you know about Ichigo's history, there's no real way to read into what Yhwach says in terms of how he says it, he just says the direct line and leaves - kind of leaving it up to the viewer to speculate wtf is going on. Hope that helps a little! (I realize they've already finished the entire arc but I wanted to waste some time so here we are)

That's quarter 1/4 not half 1/2

[@clips4fun885]

just throwing it out there for anyone that wonders: we dont see the hollow mask because it got fused with his powers back in the fullbring arc so the ichigo we see in shikai and bankai is basically always in "mask mode", just without the mask and the time limit

Yhwach is the father of all Quincy's so that's why he said my son

[@paperfox19]

he didn't let him live he did kill the quincy king, but he came back to life he's quincy jesus

[@CrimsonReaper189]

the son born in the dark is because he is the first and the father of all quinces they are all his children

[@mohammedjabeer]

Yhwach is father of all Quincy thats why he called ichigo his son All quincy are derived from yhwach

The crisis was the quincys.

Damn that scene with byakuya talking to Ichigo and asking him to save soul society is really on of my favorite if not my FAVORITE scene in the entire series. It's the full circle completion of byakuyas character development. He has a few moments after this but this is really the completion for him. From seeing ichigo as nothing but trash to be thrown away to begging him to do what he can't. I will also say that I think Kubo should have killed off byakuya here I think it could have opened a lot of potential new story lines cause byakuya honestly doesn't do a whole lot after this compared to some other characters. Shame Kubo didn't change it but it's still good.

Aizen is locked up in prison and still saving his soul society

[@toshiro-kano]

Well he IS 10-15% unsealed at this point from SAFWY

[@yeonbibi191]

Btw those old Gotei 13 looks mad

[@itskenlang]

Why so many people go through the whole Bleach series still not remembering Shunsui’s name? He’s like one of the strongest, coolest underrated captains.

[@YaBoyRockLee]

Exactly bro

Imagine if the tensa zangetsu is just a normal zampakuto, then his full bring is the shikai form
