I'm slightly miffed that Kiyone and Sentarou were split up. They were a fun pair, but maybe we can find out what they can do.

I still think Hisagi should be captain with the whole showing of kensei being very underwhelming and over taken so easily while we see the true power of hisagi within the Light Novels and now this is 10 years later from The light novels in which Hisagi could master his newly acquired Bankai by now.

The addition of Akon was such a good choice. I feel like he had a bigger role than some of the lieutentants in certain niche situations. Fits very well to be Mayuri's lieutenant too.

[@MrGksarathy]

He kinda was basically the Lieutenant even before Nemuri Nanago died. A lot of division management seemed like more his wheelhouse.

[@DontatMe-u9h]

Akon was always mayuri’s true lieutenant. Nemu was an experiment.

[@Alacaelum]

Nemu was Mayuri's in field vice captain, Akon dealt with administrative things that Mayuri didn't like dealing with (which was probably most of them). With Nemu dead, and her new self too young, Akon was the obvious choice.

Renji wants to remain under Byakuya and stay his lieutenant, because he respects him so much. In a flashback, Renji had a talk with Ikkaku about this long ago. Its the same reason why Ikkaku, despite learning Bankai long ago, doesent want to go for being a Captain, he wants to stay under Kenpachi, the man he respects.

[@Prinxce3_]

Renji is still a bum

[@phonyalias7574]

With several lieutenants having bankai after the point Ikkaku said that, either having already had it or learned it shortly after it really shows what Ikkaku's problem was and why he would never be captain material. He didn't want promoted out from under Kenpachi but never considered just turning down the position, and he essentially lost his bankai forever out of his own stubbornness. When instead, showing his power level would have made him more qualified to take on the difficult fights he craved. He wouldn't have had to settle for only those Kenpachi deemed too weak to be worth fighting.

[@Dogmaguy74]

Renji and Byakuya are brothers in law...never thought i'd see the day...

[@rubies200]

​@@Dogmaguy74I wonder if the first Captain Kuchiki, knows something about the second Captain Kuchiki's husband. I note, she hasn't taken his name. I speculate that there's something about Renji's blood, that Kuchiki hasn't revealed to Renji--but Rukia knows. After all, Renji gained his (half-assed) bankai, without much effort--relatively speaking. Might he come from the line of the unknown noble family? Hence Ichika being able to see the Hell creatures, sooner than anybody else.

[@gammafrost]

I mean you can’t really blame them for thrashing. Her captain position came out of nowhere. She’s never had an actual fight. The release command of her blade implies it’s ice related.

[@CaptainKotetsu]

@@gammafrost She’s also kind, compassionate, has a quirky personality and a really cool design. Isane’s my favorite character in the series, but yeah, Kubo did her super dirty.

[@AnonTDegenerate]

@@CaptainKotetsuTbh I think she'll have to have a huge healing role, something that fits her quirky sometimes calm energetic but also dilligent personality. Like she can't just be "healer but good" or "healer but attacks", those styles are taken by Orihime, and Hanataro respectively. She could have something like Unohanna's shikai for her bankai, taking on a manta-ray form, but working like Tsunade's slugs. Essentially being easy portable healers. It gives her healing a range and can work on multiple people at once, it reflects Unohanna's influence and by being small but always healing, reflects the dilligence we saw of her in the TYBW.

[@ouchiegiverjr]

@@CaptainKotetsuI know WHY you like her, two BIG main reasons

[@jacobsunday6561]

One tidbid that wasn't mentioned, Iba's first lieuntant was the 4th Division's 3rd Seat Yasochika Iemura. Iba picked him for his medical abilities to help his individual training after becoming captain. He then transferred back with persuasion by Hanataro. Also found it weird how the 8th Division disappears the rest of the war, in TYBW anime, we do see their 3rd Seat, Tatsufusa Enjoji at Chojiro's funeral, wonder what he was doing in the war.

[@JoshuaDMarti]

Well, after the whole 1st division got massacred before the first invasion and after Yamamoto's death, due to Shunsui becoming the next captain commander the whole division 8th basically assumed the role of the 1st division. And well, is not like Kubo ever gives focus to non-captain non-lieutenant shinigami

[@gammafrost]

Although several of the old gotei 13 captains and lieutenants have become much stronger, the newer captains have a lot to prove against the undead captains when the hell arc resumes. Isane, Lisa, and Iba didn’t really do much the entire series. We already know by this point rukia has mastered her new Bankai. I absolutely love Kubo’s new designs for these characters especially Byakuya. The new touches to Soi fon were cool too and I didn’t quite notice them. Izuru looks like a beast.

One thing that I really wish they would do with the hell arc is to let us know what is the status of the current leadership of the Kido Corps. Originally Tessai was captain and Hachigen was lieutenant. After both had left the soul society throughout the entirety of the series, we never became aware of who is the current captain and lieutenant of the Kido Corps. it would be something to see the both of them back at their posts or at least see who is running the squad now It’s interesting how they in a way, or like the squad 14 but we know little to nothing about them

[@kakashihatake1029]

I thought it got disbanded after Tessei and Hachi were banished

[@tobiogunyemi7631]

Badly want to know about the Kido Corps as well, because like many others have said, including our Tommo here before, no one using any kido during the TYBW against the Quincy not only made no sense but was just a glaring omission that still is confusing really. If they were disbanded, at least that's something but when exactly?

[@Inday_Yawa]

I believe it got dissolved and absorbed into Squad 5.

[@Slifer29]

@@kakashihatake1029 no it is still active because in episode 366 when Ichigo was taking Ginjo’s body back to the world of the living to be buried members of the Kido Corps were there and moving the body as well as setting up the portal back to the world of the living, which Ichigo passed through so I believe that the division is still active it’s just that we don’t know what’s going on with them right now or what its current leadership structure is and also I do think that they probably do somewhat autonomously from the Gotei 13

9:46 Renji literally talks about being the vice captain in the soul society arc. Pretty sure he has been Byakuya's second since he was introduced into the story

[@CaptainKotetsu]

Let’s try not to talk sh*t about this group of captains being weak until we actually see them do something. It’s been ten years; that’s an eternity when it comes to power growth in Bleach. Look what Renji achieved in a few days during the Soul Society arc. But, part of me thinks it’s pointless to consider growth for the weaker characters anyway. In classic Kubo fashion, it’s gonna be the same handful of characters that get all the action and story. Kenpachi, Byakuya, Mayuri, Renji, Rukia, Toshiro, etc. Everyone else can just stay home.

[@antoj.5119]

Yep. Just chill out, people. There's plenty to show of all of them! I just hope Kubo writes something new one day lmao

Really excited to see what Kubo does with the Hell arc.

[@axelmok498]

Idk Iba trained Ikkaku and Yumichika to be Kenpachi's senior seats, similar to how Ikkaku trained Renji. It's also implied he had Bankai aslong as Ikkaku though he never used it. (well he had to for the Captain test) but for us to see.

[@Sicarius_Avindar]

I agree, but I see the probable reason as to why Love is left behind: His Zanpakutō Tengumaru. Tengumaru is a Fire Type like Ryūjin Jakka, which would have just led to comparisons against Yamamoto. Iba and Rindo are an opportunity to do something new, but Love just invites comparison to the past.

[@aimannorzahariwod]

@@Sicarius_Avindar And i always felt like Love was enamored with the human world with the way he's designed (especially his latest Design by Kubo, looks so fresh).

[@AgrestisAnima]

Okay you scared me too for a moment..Then I remembered that even if she dies, she will get to hell and become a Ice Queen Demon there or something.I swear if it happens I'll be upset, but she'll better rule a part of hell. One good thing about the Bleach universe (until now at least) no one really dies, especially Capitains.

[@tromainesutton6226]

Strongest squad video please I asked for it long ago I know it’s a lot of work but I only trust a job of this magnitude is for a man with knowledge an structure such as you🧐you are the man I’ve been a fan for years now an plan on being a bigger fan an a supporter of your cause

[@Serger989]

I like the new Gotei 13, but I more curious why Love was the only Captain Vizard who decided not to return

[@auricstorm]

I just want to see what the unseen shikai/bankai do... So yeah, how does the new captain heal, what's the other squad 0 bankai, does the head captain have other "plays", we saw their spirits in the filler arc so what did Rangiko or [the execution square blade] bankai do, will Mayuri alter his bankai again etc. Even the hell captains could release stuff, ukitakke bankai for example or the original 13

[@dkreni2]

What about the 9th Division's Super Lieutenant? Mashiro!

[@jtotheroc]

Renji was already squad six vice captain when he debued in the final episodes of season 1 agent of the shinigami arc. The chapter that Tommo is talking about is indeed a flashback, but was before the series started. This flashback also happened in the anime right before the first episode of the gigantic arrancar arc. The episode in question is one of my favorites due to the internal monologue from ichigp, renji, and rukia, but due in large part of being the final epilogue in the Bount arc, only a fraction of the fanbase considers that episode canon.

[@musalediju8142]

Most of the The hell arc captains definitely feels like fill in blanks than characters earning their positions

[@Snooshy]

I mean that makes sense tho, kubo can’t just spawn in some strong ass captains from that 10 year gap, a lot of ppl had to fill the vice captain and captain roles because they are the next best in line

[@musalediju8142]

@@Snooshy but he did create kid kenpachi, who is confirmed that he’s stronger than sword master unohana who had mastered 1000 styles

[@Snooshy]

@@musalediju8142 that’s fair, if he did that again it would feel weird, just ass pulling a new prodigy for the sake of, and a prodigy who didn’t fight in the tybw????

[@rizon72]

I'm also curious about the Kido corp as they are mentioned but never brought up again.

[@Mickeydesyn]

I kinda hope If there’s a real hells arc coming Rangiku gets a more serious role .. she’s lazy sure but she’s also had some pretty decent fights in the series

[@permeus2nd]

6:40 I do kinda agree with her hear as there is a massive gulf in power levels between one half of the captains and the other half and even the captain commander is not at the top of that power gulf but he has the skill to make up for it. Half of the captains are literally god tire levels of power and this is before Ichigo dies and comes to the soul society full time, I want to see him going though the Academy when he is probably at or above zero division levels of power, will he be fast tracked or receive special training from the likes of Urahara?

[@theorimeone6548]

I REALLLLLLYYY!!!!!!! need to know what Isane; Lisa; and Iba can do(bankai) we must find out!!! I'm almost certain Isane has probably known bankai for a while before even becoming captain because of who she studied under and how refined she is

[@Giovansbilly]

Kubo said that Isane's zanpakuto is ice based like Rukia's and Hitsugaya's, but with healing property, so maybe one of the possibilities for her bankai's power is to make large ice constructs to enacase and heal or outright negate damage

[@abelabner]

I honestly love the new and improved Kira!!!!!

[@zerobarge718]

I would love for them to do some kind of ritual during the hell arc for Rangiku, that essentially restores the potential she lost because of Aizen. It would give her a much-needed power upgrade and finally show her the respect she deserves. Especially because she usually just shows up looking more stunning than before, with no actual benefit other than looking nice.

[@babytoshiro7014]

That would be nice Rangiku has proven herself worth of Lt.

[@rubies200]

Oh, this is something I defintely want to see! A reckoning between Matsumoto and Aizen.

[@allPodd]

What did rangiku lose? I am just getting back into bleach 😅

[@sveipr]

@@allPodd It's part of Gin's and Rangiku's back story. The reason why Gin decided to join/kill Aizen is because Rangiku was born with a part of the soul king in her, and when Aizen made the Hogyoku attacked Rangiku and took the part of the soul king from her. Technically Rangiku should be much stronger since a part of her soul is missing, and it was supposed to be a plot point in TYBW but Kubo never got to it.

[@Giovansbilly]

​@@sveiprIt'd be interesting to see how her true power compares to Mimihagi, Pernida, or Gerard

[@devious00]

Please don't wait a decade to animate this manga! I love Rukia's character development so much. Finally seeing her incredibly beautiful Bankai animated made me so happy.

[@HwL01]

Those vizards (?) Are like totally forgotten how to turn into hollow during tybw. Could’ve helped them more if they changed isn’t it

[@rickjames1797]

Weren't they unable to use their bankai when they hollowfied?

[@Besmrtnik]

they are using hollow powers in anime tybw. We will see them fight in cour 4.

[@tromainesutton6226]

I asked long time ago but can you do a ranking of all the squads taking the seated officers into account and not just captains cause luitenits an 3rd seats can make a difference depending on how strong they are in some squads please 😅 your the best keep up the amazing work

[@Ichsukatanuka]

So Mayuri saves half of the Gotei 13 lol

[@Giovansbilly]

While drastically shortening the natural lifespans of those who got zombified

[@AleanitylarBrighteye]

Thankyou for this, i love Bleach but for the life of me, my brain at times cannot keep up.

[@chini2W0]

if kubo and the studio behind bleach decides to pursue the hell arc, i think they should go with CFYOW first. tokinada tsunayashiro is one hell of a villain to be skipped and also, all that happened in the CFYOW novel is the one that fills the gap that happened between then of TYBW and Hell Arc

[@k3kris]

Im joking, but these videos have murdered our chances of getting the Hell arc

[@babytoshiro7014]

🤣🤣🤣 I think Kubo mean if the Japanese audience fans him... at least I hope lol

[@Man0War_Loki]

Why

[@k3kris]

@@Man0War_Loki A chunk of the fandom doesn't talk about the Hell arc due to Kubo saying if he's bothered about it he just won't write/draw it

[@redzoro92]

Kubo really should’ve killed at least a quarter of his Gotei 13 cast, bcuz just hearing how someone manages to survive & come back is kind of ridiculous. Anyways, I’m excited for the new story, but it begs the question of which of Kubo’s characters is he going to not use again.

[@doginababyseat5127]

Rose, Kensei, Kira, and Matsumoto should have stayed dead. Toshiro was still alive but taken over. The other 4 were confirmed dead and should have stayed that way. Especially the vizards as Kubo doesn’t seem to care about them aside from using them as jobbers.

[@redzoro92]

@@doginababyseat5127 Yeah, Toshiro would be hard to kill as he seems to be Kubo's fav. But for me Byakuya should've died. He's undoubtedly one of the coolest characters w/ an awesome Zanpakuto, but Kubo gave that guy so much of a send off (or at least what felt like one). And us the audience would've felt the loss of him too. Oh well.

[@Mortarion-xt9wp]

Monos zanpakuto seems similar to the Seven-Branched Sword (七支刀). I wonder if Kubo will do something with it

[@XavierTriggs]

I really want to see the new captains in action

[@LeoLikesLamb]

Your videos butter My biscuits thank you

[@samoanjoseph1457]

I feel like Isane and Lisa got shortchanged in how little they were featured, but they weren't the only ones. Now that I hear you say it, seems like Kubo's go-to method for having shingami survive the war was to "kill them", zombify them, and then have Mayuri revive them. I didn't realize how many people that applied to until now. Don't really like it, personally. Some of them could have just died and been better off. Or at least it would have been more interesting to have new characters replace them.

[@Man0War_Loki]

Well I don't think it was a bad decision given who Mayuri is
