Matt Colbo had the best line I’ve ever heard for Manscaped: It reduces nick and cuts to you dick and nuts.

[@Emperor-Inker]

If Old Man Zangetsu has the power to stop time & power over shadows then perhaps that's the power Yhwach wanted to stop when he broke Ichigo's bankai in the soul palace. I think we've barely touched on all of Ichigo's powers as in we've not actually seen it yet.

[@gamergate2.0andbooks]

So if ichigo goes into his hollow form does means he's in bonki

[@Grayson-Winchester]

I find it great that Ichigo's story is more of a personal journey to overcome grief in the constant presence of death. Ichigo never wanted to be strong for the sake of being strong.

The one thing that disappoints me about the story of Ichigo’s relationship with Zangetsu is that, even after learning the true nature of his powers, we never get to see Ichigo have an honest conversation with White where he finally acknowledges and accepts him

[@Delphsco]

It always bothered me how ichigo never thought about doing that throughout the whole series Even going and talking to old man zangetsu, it definitely would've made for way better character moments

[@gammafrost]

@@Delphscoyou have a good point. Maybe that can be fixed in the anime

[@Vonmoonlight]

Yea im sad about the fact that they didnt do anything for a convo with White While The Blade Is Me and with Dangai form, Ichigo may have shown how he accepted White as part of him completely, a talk wouldve been cool While i guess its also because White is part of Ichigo and Ichigo is White, there was nvr really a need to Think of it as Ichigo is denying part of himself, so if you take away this whole manifestation of White etc, Ichigo as a person is simply fighting his inner demons or fears Like how we know we should do it like this, but part of you knows you want to do it like this White is that want, it is Ichigo's instinct. Ichigo logical self is denying his instinct. Things about psychology affect alot of your work aptitude. And animes like sports type like Baby Steps explores on this. When you have listened enough of instinct and you done what you wanted, when it comes down to it on what you need to do, your level of focus becomes that much higher. Cuz all your distractions are all gone and you can go all out Ichigo and White is that same relation. Because Ichigo kept denying, Ichigo power fluctuate massively as White is directly part of his power Only difference is that unlike our instincts, White is someone who quite literally will fck Ichigo over even if it means by force even if it pains him to do so... This is very evident of White being Ichigo since Ichigo first fight with Renji, you can see the similarities in how Ichigo kind of acted, modestly cocky and always raring to challenge, to how White speaks.. Its Ichigo personality, his self...Its like Ichigo has a split personality and he finally found closure of his heart So when ppl compare to like Naruto and Kurama, on surface yea its similar, but the dynamics are very different Naruto and Kurama were 2 separate entity White and Ichigo were originally always 1

[@FinrodFelagundTheFair]

​@@Vonmoonlight I agree 100%. People forget that a Shinigami's Zanpaktou are literal manifestations of their souls. As in another part of themselves. The core of their powers is their own souls and syncing with them. It's not touched on much, but the Bankai process seems to be accepting that your Zanpaktou is YOU!

[@fakeletobr730]

@@FinrodFelagundTheFair well, if this was true, then ichigo wouldn't get bankai, because he only accepted old zangetsu (using borrowed shinigami powers) to teach ichigo his bankai, to get bankai is another history, i don't know how, but it probably isn't the way you said, the process you said is of a true bankai in it's whole power, it was more like combining the pieces until the whole puzzle was completed, but to get bankai you need to communicate with your inner self and probably learn the true meaning and nature of yourself, that's why ichigo has so many forms, he slowly progress on accepting or needing more power, it is like all his forms after bankai are just a piece of bankai first attained but by adding more of his true whole bankai pieces into it.

[@STULF20X6]

...you know, I never did notice that disappointment White had at Ichigo's thought that he was gone

[@AndrewHahaLee]

It's just unsettling to know just how little of a bond, the most powerful protagonist in the entire anime, has with his zanpaktou. Being seen as someone who only seeks/ends up in his inner world only when he needs help.

[@boiwithastick913]

On a technicality, this is the real Tensa Zangetsu. However, it’s more like a raw state of Tensa Zangetsu as in the Bankai that Ichigo initially possessed was only a representation of Ichigo’s suppressed Soul reaper/hollow powers. In short, this Zangetsu is all of Ichigo’s power at the time shoehorned into the incomplete Bankai. At this point, Ichigo’s powers had no base to be fully expressed due to the lack of an Asauchi, and the emotional and mental barriers placed there by Ichigo himself. Because of this, both his Hollow/Shinigami powers and Quincy powers are shown as separate initially, instead of being fused into one from the get-go. Ichigo’s hate for his inner-hollow, and his blind faith in his Quincy manifestation is what caused this separation, and blocked him from accessing the full-potential of this incomplete and bastardised Bankai.

[@sladew9788]

Actually, the real tensa zangetsu was the full hollow ichigo. Since tensa zangetsu was ichigo's bankai's name (hence representing only the shinigami-hollow part, not the Quincy part). While the tensa zangetsu that ichigo fuses with in order to become dangai/mugetsu, that's a mutated version which is fused with partial Quincy source.

[@Pr0digyZRX]

​@@sladew9788 actually if we want to get technical both are and have always been Zangetsu. Why would both look different cause of Ichigo being in bankai if that weren't the case? If bankai was only white then the quincy power shouldn't have changed to look younger. Not to mention Ichigo pointed all this out himself when he had Zangetsu reforged

[@sladew9788]

@@Pr0digyZRX when ichigo was reforging zangetsu, ohetsu points out that OMZ has been pretending to be his zanpakto power, and the real zanpakto was white (aka zangetsu). What ichigo does here is to rename both yhwach's soul fragment and zangetsu as "tensa zangetsu". When he did that, both of them became one entity, so, the TYBW version is a merged soul (which in turn is merged with himself). Meanwhile, the dangai/mugetsu version isn't the same case. Because at this point yhwach's soul fragment acts solely as his Quincy side, not his shinigami side (though, ichigo at this point mistook yhwach's soul fragment to be his shinigami representation). The real tensa zangetsu had always been white prior to reforging. In ichigo's dangai/mugetsu training, it's a mutate version of ichigo's power (though it's more closer to his true powers, since his true powers are a combination of everything not just his shinigami-hollow side)

[@nicogmv2364]

​@@Pr0digyZRX I think the quincy became younger because at that point the Hollow was in Bankai and had more power over Ichigo's Soul. Yhwach becomes younger the less power he has, so maybe it's the same for OMZ.

[@ghostspider2056]

His Hollow can also call upon his sword from a distance with a simple gesture, almost like Jedi in Star Wars.

[@dionysisnance4204]

Hollowfied tensa zangetsu had so much drip. Ichgio decided to copy him with the dangai drip state

[@manuelacosta9463]

Ichigo coming to terms with his inner struggles and then unleashing his power to stop Aizen will always be epic. Ironic then that his powers also nearly led to him being gouged and harvested of said power forever as a contignecy by Squad Zero alongside Gotei 13. Him becoming the Spirit King would've been a bleak ending for sure, especially given everything he did and how he used his powers to protect rather than conquer, destroy or control.

[@SleepinInsomniac]

I really like how the hollow ichigo teased the horn that ichigo eventually gets to peak his power

[@johnlucas2838]

Hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu basically has the young appearance of Juha Bach combined with the look White would have had he become an Arrancar.

[@SinHurr]

Hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu also reminds me a bit of Muramasa from the anime arc. It's the fur neckline on the coat, mostly.

[@JuanLove1987]

I really do believe that Hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu is True Zangetsu. Ichigo's True Shikai combines to create his True Bankai Tensa Zangetsu. Kubo stated that when the scabbard broke, it revealed True Zangetsu. I also think that Ichigo keeps the one shikai now because the spirits are merged since Hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu could be True Zangetsu.

[@Cas-ed9ob]

I love it when you can tell a character is powerful when they pull up and their foot touches the ground only to shatter the ground where they step, i.e. when vasto lorde white is pulled out of ichigo, and when ichigo exits the dangai and rolls up on aizen.

[@Swedishmarvelking]

As much as I love Ichigo's self-actualization at the end of TYBW cour 1, I do kinda miss his interactions with Zangetsu (both aspects). They are some of the most important moments for Ichigo's character development, and contain so much more relevant information once you have the full story. Seeing them three of the interact after Ichigo is more at peace and balanced would've been a nice treat. Though I understand why it doesn't happen from a narrative purpose. Ichigo says it himself. He will not call upon them as some sort of outside aid. They are his power and he weilds them by his own hands. So there's not really as much need for introspective visits. As for Hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu. It's a very cool design, and given that he's the amalgamation of all of Ichigo's powers but unhindered by Ichigo's hesitations and lack of experience, he should be pretty freaking strong. But in the one instance we see him, he's held back by how much he cares for Ichigo. Neither Zangetsu wants to actually hurt Ichigo. They just want to help him achieve his goal. This new form is temporary and serves that one function. Considering that they expect to basically die and never return after defeating Aizen, that especially sad. But it would've been cool if Kubo had used him to gives a preview of some more advanced abilities for Ichigo to use in the future.

[@Karma_slime]

I’d love a novel of Ichigo training and mastering his sword

[@gammafrost]

That would be great to see considering by the time we get to the hell arc, 12 years have passed. That should have been enough for him to master his true bankai

[@Zac_Frost]

"If he really wanted to beat me, he could have without even trying. Right from the start. There was _THAT_ big of a difference in our strength." That's crazy to hear, as at that point, Ichigo was around Ulquiorra's base form in power without using his Mask, which is freakin' powerful. Also, I just noticed my comment on your Hollow Zangetsu video is in the video. Thanks!

[@GraveEnd]

Merged tensa is basically all his powers without an asauchi it makes me wonder what ichigo would look like with all his powers and acceptance of himself without an asauchi

[@nicogmv2364]

Probably something like a Resurrección. Quincies don't have natural transformations, so something akin to a Hollow with quincy abilities

[@donjoel6754]

[@fatanimeboy6961]

Such an encridble video and so happy to see you got a sponsor. Hopefully many more on the future!

[@austinbeck3424]

I think that the true tensa zangetsu allows ichigo to use all his powers: shinagmi, Quince, hollow in uisons. The shikai allows him to switch between the power, thus the horn of salvation, or how he appears to have the og shikai in the new breeds from hell one-shot.

[@austinbeck3424]

. So in summary, shikai power allows him to pick and choose what part of himself he uses at a given time. And his bankai allows him to use all of himself to fight

seeing all the moments where tensa zangetsu grabs ichigo and throws him around makes the scene where ichi grabs aizen and tosses him make so much more sense. I never picked up on it, but it makes sense. also the long haired, black masked white zangetsu was just ridiculously sexy for no reason

[@CrimsonReaper189]

think the best way to have a return would be if he ever goes in to his inner world in bankai again since that is the merge of the powers where his base he uses them separately.

[@ThapeloMokomele]

Zangetsu is my favorite. 💯 Let ask a Question: as Ichigo grows, will also Zangetsu grow with him along his power? And yes I mean both of them.

[@saucekidjayy9750]

Tbh I’d say yes considering everytime he learned something new and came back to his inner world zangestu knew the move and had tht ability too examples would be bankai / vasto lorde forms

[@Inedow_The_Source_of_Racism]

His reiatsu increases so yeah

[@sladew9788]

Well, there is no "both of them" any longer. The two spirits that exists within ichigo are now share the name "tensa zangetsu" and they are one and same with ichigo. So, for the question whether tensa Zangetsu will grow, yes, because ichigo and zangetsu are one, both of them grow together.

[@nicogmv2364]

Yes, they grow with him. White was Upper Shikai Captain Level 20 years ago. For 17 years he grew stronger inside Ichigo to the point of being one of the most powerful beings in Bleach.

[@kisigma1011]

That manscape advertising was perfect

[@umziwoxolodlodlo285]

You should have mentioned that hollow and quincy can never merge together because hollows are basically poison to the quincy. We all saw this happen to Masaki when White tried to infect her. However, Ichigo became a container for such a merge that should never have happened in the first place. Such a feat can only be done by someone who is really a worthy successor to the Soul King. This is the very reason why Transendent Aizen couldn't sense Ichigo's powers. Ichigo was basically at a God level that Aizen was trying to reach. I also agree that Hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu is one of the most powerful character in Bleach. Their merging represents all of Ichigo's powers combined and balanced together. We never see this happen again ever within the story. Ichigo with his true zanpakutou at the end vs Yhwach stated himself that he needs to awaken his powers in order for him to use them properly, meaning he needs a nudge first for those powers to work. Those powers are two separate entities which are finally restored to their true powers. However Dangai Ichigo, who is basically a vessel for Hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu, is already at maximum power and is able to destroy mountains, shake off 90s Hado, and barely gets his arm burned from basically a nuke. His Getsuga form takes him at an even higher level such that he becomes his own zanpakutou. Such levels are really the highest and most transcendent we have ever seen in the whole of Bleach.

[@MrOmie101]

[@pondr3225]

[Spoilers for the end of the TYBW] In my own headcanon, this is the form that the Zangetsus take when Ichigo uses his Bankai from now on, since he needs to combine both blades to become one again. I imagine upon activation both spirits merge into hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu, but what I'd really like to know is if they'd still look the same, broken mask and all

[@gammafrost]

I really wish we got to see him one more time. I’m confident Merged Tensa Zangetsu would have smacked Hogyoku aizen just as badly as ichigo. I really wanted to see him use getsuga tensho against ichigo in this form but we know how it would have ended 💀💀💀

[@zachfreedom644]

I think Ichigo wanted to be weak but then his mother died and Ichigo had to get strong. He changed while he didn't want to be strong he wanted to protect other. Zangetsu knew this. That's why he held the power back until ichigo truly wanted to be strong.

[@yonkouaquaman4969]

I wish he learned about his Quincy powers during his time when he didn’t have shinigami powers and only when he finally gets it back that he’s forced to confront both zangetsus in his inner world Imagine at the beginning of tybw he’s already mentally unstable with the revelation

[@AngelKnightZeo713]

That would make so sense since Ichigo was still in the dark about himself as well as never fully accepting himself; Uryu, Chad, & Orihime openly stated how sad Ichigo was when he had no powers in the Lost Agent arc so how could Ichigo use Quincy powers when he had no spiritual awareness at all?

[@undary0u]

As a writer, it's hard to imagine everything that could come up in such a situation, and worse, doing so might make creating the focus fight between Izen and Ichigo harder to conceive. Instead, yes, it's better to get the main battle out of the way, so taht the experience levels needed can be fleshed out later in another arc. Even, if that arc, is to swing back and revisit this arc again as a flash back, or as a new educational component.

An asauch have the function to help an shinigame to manifest his powers, but because ichigo don't have one initially, his powers are not sincronized, this is what cause him losting control using hollow powers (based in stinct, emotions and desires), a shinigame, a hollow or an quincy don't need a tutor to learn how they powers work, but it not only will take time it is dangerous too because sometimes the power have nasty drawback efects.

[@nicogmv2364]

At that point in the story Old Man Zangetsu stole his name. One can say he was salty about that. Imagine being a Zanpakuto Spirit waiting for your master to get powerful to contact you and get stronger together then comes this quincy fragment and steals your name, presents himself as the real Zanpakuto making you look like the bad guy and taking credit for the progress of your Master. He even missed the bankai training. Zangetsu was nothing and that was what Ichigo thought of him. That's why he said he had no name.

[@DarkSpace-kc5mi]

I always like to think that Hollowfied tensa zangetsu is the spirt form of ichigos true bankai as it’s a combination of all of ichigos powers (Besides his fullbringer powers)

[@lwandomadikizela2213]

What if Ichigo gained some of that power and form when he fought Aizen. It's clear Ichigo in his Dongai form surpassed Aizen and was about to reach Deity level of power since Aizen couldn't sense Ichigo's power but the time Aizen figured out Ichigo is far stronger than him, it was too late.

And the inner hollow always took over to protect Ichigo when he was loosing or dying

[@DragoonMS]

Despite that, I still think Ichibei would easily curbstomp Hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu. He is just irreversibly busted like that. Anywho, it's funny that the even younger Yhwach also kinda looks like Byakuya Kuchiki. 😏😏😏

[@AJ-kt5zo]

Fair he's existed before shinigami so that alone is a advantage even before his history revealed.

[@n9ne-_-ball]

So I have a theory Dangi inchigo was ichigo full powered as a shinigami the way his hand merged with his zanpakuto which is why he could use final getsuga tensho in this form. While in final getsuga form his hair is the same as his full hollow form Full hollow form ichigo was full hollow powers only notice he didn't use any shinigami techniques in the form like flash step or getsuga tensho and also his hair is the same length as final getuga form just different color. Power wise I believe both forms are equal in power. Full power shinigami levels a mountain by swinging his sword. Full powered hollow fissures the ground by swinging his sword. By the end of TYBW we have a new bankai form from ichigo which is full power shinigami + full power hollow with quincy powers unlocked. Tensa zangetsu is full powered shinigami + full power hollow + full power quincy... In conclusion ichigo can run a gauntlet against the captains in his current form. But when he fully understands his quincy powers he could fight them all at the same time Not to mention he has full bring which i believe will help him infinitly spam final getsuga tensho with anything because of the hollow within him execpt it would be called "final" it would be like "supreme" We need a new ark 🤷🏾‍♂️ theres so many possiblites

Considering all that happened in the fight between Ichigo and Hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu, Ichigos rebuild of zanpaktou(s) and his regaining shinigami powers in the TYBWA and the confrontation with Bach, makes it look like it was all pissing in the wind, and so underused. But that's just one of the million things wrong with TYBWA, I guess.

If old man zangetsu is his Quincy powers manifested why did he manifest during ichigo’s bankai training?

[@ikuzo5847]

Because he was the centre of his powers while compressing ichigo's "real powers"

[@khalilwilson2586]

@@ikuzo5847 thanks for the reply. That makes sense!

[@Frstypwngaming]

There is no "May be", nah he's only weaker than SK Ywach and MAYBE Aizen (If you exclude prime Soul King). Aizen in TYBW says to Shikai Ichigo "Ah you've regained the power you used to defeat me" where Ichigo was the only one who could sense Aizen and eventually became a dimensional tier above him with Mugetsu; even SK Ywach was afraid of Ichigo's bankai.

Bleach is fun

[@dionisis0018]

But during their final battle yhwach took Ichigo's Quincy away. I don't think there is any zangetsu form like it used. I think it's only white now. (At least that's my theory the way I see it making sense)

[@Pr0digyZRX]

"The blade is me" everything we see in hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu is literally Ichigo's full power unleashed. So it seems to me hollowfied Tensa Zangetsu isn't stronger than Ichigo... they're the same being... all 3 of them are Ichigo

[@felixramirez9920]

Was Ichigo's sword similar to that of the swords manifested by the Arrancar? Since he never properly acquired one until tybw. And because it was white, which was partly shinigami, it acted as a normal sword? Just wondering if that is the case. The reason I ask this is because did he ever need to acquire a sword through normal means? Could he not have found closure and manifested a sword to match the progression on his own?

[@dmannycarter9537]

Oetsu said no soul reaper can reach their zanpakuto’s full potential without an asauchi. Arrancar zanpakutos are made similarly to soul reapers but are probably made using lesser hollows as the asauchi. Ichigo pulled off incredible feats in his journey up till tybw but his power was forcibly held back by OMZ and he never had a true zanpakuto.

Ngl white is lowkey better as a character to ichigo, he only wanted him to be stronger and protect along with help him, while old zangetsu wanted to hold his power back to keep him safe, and honestly justice for white he was hated by ichigo hella just for being a hollow

[@Da_caffeinated_insomniac]

I think we all know the reason why they never showed his true shikai and bankai spirits,THE IMMEASURABLE DRIP THEY POSSESS WOULD ABSOLUTELY CURB STOMP YWACH AND END THE SERIES AT THEIR MERE PRESENCE!!!

[@chadhaynes3171]

Honestly I wish you would train to halo-fi and control it

Btw the ball deodorant is constantly out of stock.

[@raikerthedestroyer4092]

Idk if I’m late but re-reading the series old man “zangetsu” I think used the almighty to pull Ichigo into his world

[@nathangarfitt9661]

Would have loved hollow tensa zangetsu in the zanpakuto ark the question is why didn’t the hollow side come out in the ark anyway a plothole I guess
