Charlie Talks About Bleach's Final Season | MoistCr1tikal

[@kurimiaisukurimu]

Yhwach killing Yamamoto using an impostor and the Quincies stealing Bankai is cheap, but it makes sense for them to play dirty, when you see in the most recent episode how the original Gotei 13 used similar tactics to kill the Quincies 1000 years ago. Yamamoto defeated Yhwach literally by having his Lieutenant backstab him. That's exactly what Yhwach is talking about when he says Yamamoto has become weak, because he fights too honorably in comparison to how he fought 1000 years ago.

@UCx96Dz5-l8A-ufaXC7ghwgA The one Kenpachi killed was Loyd Lloyd. The one disguised as Yhwach was his twin brother Royd Lloyd. They were both given different aspects of the same Schrift (Yourself). Both copy appearances, but Loyd also copies power and abilities whereas Royd copies memories and personality. The strength Royd demonstrated when he was mimicking Yhwach was purely his own.

[@D-Skotes]

[@west429]

Mimicking a bankai would be the most boring thing to exist. All the fights would just be stalemates. Stealing it gives off a more depressing feeling, as we see with Ichigo once you reach enlightenment you understand that you are the blade. The quincies are basically robbing the soul reapers of their own existence.

[@bungifish2227]

Yes also mimicking it will be weaker than the captain's that had years of perfecting and mastering their bankai. So the sternritters would easily lose, so he makes no sense

[@mvshenhon8966]

Depends, I think it could be interesting honestly. Just depends on how much of a copy the creator would make the mimicked Bankai. There's all sorts of interesting stuff in the bleach verse ability wise I don't think it be hard to play around with the concept

[@whichDude]

I think he just pointing out he just doesn't want to see characters nerfed. We have watched them all train to get stronger. They are super strong! Oh now they are weak again. Let's watch them get strong again! Ultimate reward is to just get existing power up back. That's boring.

It is precisely for this reason, the fact that the ability of the enemies is to steal bankais is very poor, they are already very broken so now they can also do that, it is as if Kubo ran out of ideas and they could not create other abilities , they were already giving gotei 13 problems long before they started stealing his bankai, the fights would have been just as interesting even if the enemies didn't have that ability

@@paledrake Yamamoto was just too damn strong, i've said this to other people and i'll say it again Kubo made him too damn strong every fight would be finished in 5 seconds if yama stepped in, so he needs to be nerfed everytime he fights. Sometimes it's good like the wonderweiss fight, or him one shotting the overkill but then you get his bankai which transforms absurdly strong character to basically god like being so finding a counter to it wasn't feasible (at least to do in a few weeks) and it would've been cheap regardless of which way Kubo went. That's what happens when you make a strong character and don't plan ahead.

Mimicking bankai would've been a really bad strategies for the Quincy. They're in the war to win it, not to create a pretty fight. It's really cool to see the Quincies utilizing all their weapons while the Shinigami is unprepared and just gets brutally wrecked. It's like the opposite of the war 1000 years ago where the Shinigami is the one using all their tools to brutally wreck the Quincies.

[@enterusername6953]

Agreed. Also we've seen how the Qunicies mimicking the Bankais might not be as effective. The Qunicy's Bankai are not as powerful as the original user. When the Overkill Sternrider tried using the lieutenants' Bankai on Yama, it kind of didn't work out well cause of how ultra weak it was in comparison. Couldn't even leave a mark on Yama. As a result he got instantly punished and vaporized by an offended Yama lol.

[@nichescenes]

A lot of hot takes for shonen feel like the popular thing so I must hate it. Like getting mad that a shonen has a lot of fights. HXH doesn't have many and people complained it is boring for something so highly rated, but lack of fights made that world feel more real. In real life you fight rarely. But having fights isn't bad either. Mimicking bankia would be cool, to go against your point, but they did that in a filler ep which people act like they hate. It would just draw things out for an audience that hates anything long...people like payoff and these days hate build up...they just can't pay attention. They want tiktok levels of engagement. Fast no no-effort entertainment. Its annoying for me but ill give up and let them have it. I have other old shows to watch so I don't care if every anime has to condense 7 chapters an ep to keep their attention vs the old days of 3-4...or has to wait seasonally for eps vs old days of not crying about still shots.

Yama and like 5 other captains were about to jump Yhwach and this man just smiled and prepared to fight, but then he got snuck by Yama’s right hand man and nuked by Yama’s Bankai, then had to fight a fully fresh Yama and maybe the other captains too Yhwach on the other hand at least let Yama fight his 1 v 1 against Royd, stole Yama’s Bankai but didn’t use it, making it so that they’re both fighting in their base forms (Yama could’ve used Shikai if he wanted), and Yhwach just one taps him. If Yama didn’t grab Yhwach’s cloak, it would’ve ended there without all the extra disrespect, but Yama showed his fighting spirit but got done worse for his efforts The only ‘cheap’ thing Yhwach did was steal Yama’s Bankai. You could say Yama was tired by the time Yhwach came, but if Yama tired himself out fighting a random subordinate then it just shows he really had no chance against the real Yhwach who’s far stronger

[@bamTubeDude]

He technically did fight Yhwach, Rroyd and Lloyd can almost perfectly replicate anybody together, I was disappointed that they didn’t showcase the original backstory of Rroyd and his brother Lloyd because it explained things in a better way.

[@spiderdude2099]

As far as the stealing bankai goes: 1. They DO get them back later, and the way that they do is a genius bit of in-universe logic that makes sense and is really cool. 2. It’s meant to humble the captains and sets up the entire sub-arc where they focus on the basics and try to develop their shikai to the utmost to be able to counter their bankai, which is a really cool idea. Some of the captains really over rely on their bankai and use it at the drop of a hat. It was cool seeing them need to be more strategic. 3. This is a bit of meta-reasoning, but you HAVE TO have your new villains be more powerful than established powerhouses from the main cast. Otherwise there’s no tension. And the whole “mimicking bankai” idea is such a horrible way for the new villains to power up. It comes across as way more of an ass pull, and the most important thing is, you NEED the Captains to get nerfed somehow. It’s not enough to make the new villains powerful, you must also make established characters weaker. This happens in so many series, it’s the constant issue of power scaling, and honestly I’m not that upset with the way it was done in the manga. The bankai stealing is a bit of an ass pull, but it at least makes some sense. It’s a good way to power up the villains and weaken the captains without introducing some new ability out of nowhere

[@cybermoon6036]

1. The sense of hopelessness created from Yamamato dying like that and bankais being stolen was top tier. It's like Infinity War where all the people were disappearing. You have to keep in mind that Yhwach had 1000 years prep time and obviously wasn't going to go fight Yamamato head on because he lost the last time he did that, also that would be extremely generic. Plus, that whole interaction between Yamamato and Yhwach was to exemplify the fact that the soul society had grown weak and soft compared to the original Gotei 13 where Yamamato himself would step on his own comrades without hesitation in order to complete a task. This whole ordeal was like a "wake-up call" for the Soul Society to go back to its roots. Thus we see shortly after Unohana, one of the original gotei 13 and the most vicious criminal in the history of the Soul society, train Zaraki to become a true Kenpachi, that shit was amazing. 2. Ichigo being part hollow, quincy, human, etc, is explained pretty well so I don't see how that's an issue.

If the real Yhwach was fighting Yamamoto from the start, he would have stolen Yamamoto's bankai immediately before we got to see what it is and can do. Also, the author of the manga had to rush when making it, forcing him to leave out several important things he wanted to show. With the anime, he is writing and drawing those missing pieces and giving direction to the animation studio on how to include them.

He does whatever it takes to win thats why he offered Aizen an alliance, has the whole stealing bankais thing, etc... Stealing bankais show how smart Yhwach is, and gives a sense of hopelessness.

i don’t get the hate the conclusion of BLEACH gets. Sure you might dislike the conclusion of the final fight, but the conclusion of the story was fucking beautiful. Especially aizens speech about life and death and how meaningless life would be if the concept of death wasn’t a thing. He talks about how what gives our lives meaning is our persistence to keep on moving forward even in the face of despair, it was our fear of death that kept us from being stagnant, ultimately giving us meaning. And this is all ironic coming from Aizen, an immortal man who lost all meaning in his being, which is why i believe he looks sad while giving this speech. Bleach has always been a story about overcoming your fears and evolving to the best person you can be. Which was all wrapped up beautifully in my opinion.

Oh and his 'true' bankai (probably get retconned AGAIN if there was ever future installments) is a sword... in a sword. Also conveniently the one thing that would kill the invincible bad guy. Convenient. One of the bad guys abilities is literally "whatever I imagine becomes real"... did a genie grant these powers?? They're based on fucking NOTHING.

The Royd Lloyd brothers' criticism is also understandable as i too was confused as the one who copies strength abilities (which i assumed was the stronger brother) lost to kenpachi, while the only memories copying brother (weaker one) was able to hang with Yamamoto. However, after reading a comment which indicated that copying memories can acc be very useful as one can remember all the training/hardwork/knowledge of abilities therefore granting more power, it kinda made sense that the memories brother was stronger.

Bankai stealing shouldn't've been a thing in the first place, it's not terrible but it's absurdly broken and is used to ramp up tension fast within a few episodes.

u arent paying attention then, them stealing bankais were supposed to make the soul reapers feel hopeless, humiliated, while also having the soul reapers hone and perfect the abilities they have or learn new abilities since some soul reapers relied on their bankais to much. the quincies arent stealing bankais to make themselves stronger but to weaken their enemies. this is a war you dont want ur enemies to be at full strength but if you pay attention we know the soul reapers used dirty tricks to kill the quincies a 1000 years ago so it only makes sense the quincies would use dirty tricks too. the quincies are here to humiliate, and destroy the soul reapers not play fair. charlie sounds like a bleach hater, he doesnt seem to have payed attention at all to the manga or the anime and its like he purely is mad his favorite died. his take was terrible and mad no sense. the bleach story is fine it just seems like some of yall cant comprehend or understand the story at all.

Kubo did manga dirty... Afterall he was rushed to complete it... He said in recent interview that he will add his custom scenes in the upcoming seasons... Criticism is valid👍🏽

Kubo has already made drastic changes so there is no real concern in my eyes that the ending wouldn’t be changed.

This isn't just some battle its a full on WAR and war is DIRTY (which includes dirty tactics and underhanded tricks)

Kinda also wanted to hear his current thoughts on chainsaw man

[@kenji5073]

I'm pretty sure he likes it. There nothing bad so far.... Just good episode

The project is supervised by Kubo and he himself stated that there will be some changes made to the story in order to give bleach a better ending
