there is no source on the ep series count, all they confirmed was it was in cours, which is anime seasons. Not even the amount cours confirmed. That 4 part cour "leak" was just a fan made reddit logical guess. At the pace, they are moving in the anime. its barely 38-40 eps (for the whole arc). The extra anime content they have been adding was at the cost of removing manga content. It hasn't been a full manga+ anime-only addition.

[@saqenocturne9769]

you said it all

[@HeroTrains]

Beautifully said!

[@philipcarey3213]

So here's the thing for everyone confused. Ichigo indeed is a Quincy. His Quincy powers just like his Soul Reaper powers couldn't be used or awakened until it is kick started by that type of Reishi. For his Soul Reaper powers Rukia awakened it with her Reishi blade which was only supposed to let him borrow her Reiatsu but instead he consumed all of it which awakened his Soul Reaper powers. When locked in Quilge's cage he continuously spammed Getsuga's that chipped at the cage bit by bit releasing small amounts of Quilge's own Reishi which mixed with Ichigo's and awakened his un-tapped Quincy powers. Everything in Bleach is revolved around coming in contact with certain Reishi which could either kill you or give you powers(Fullbringers=Hollow Reiatsu, Soul Reapers=Death reincarnation, Quincy=Bloodline).

[@mulagabbana8766]

Ngl that's facts. Fullbringers get their powers from their mother/parent being attacked by a Hollow and it mixing with their blood creating the offspring of a Fullbringer. A human can gain the ability to see spirits if coming into contact with Reiatsu of a Shinigami or Hollow as well but they don't gain powers. Quincy's are their own race, they are born Quincy's. Ichigo's powers all were kick starter by coming into contact with all of these different Reishi/Reiatsu awakening his.

[@karlsolaris414]

Thanks for the concise explanation. Easy to understand and actually Canon compliant.

[@josuelafountaine5147]

I would like to add, and this is just a theory, but what if the reason Ichigo took way more reishi from rukia than she intended was because he is a Quincy? They can absorb reishi afterall.

[@fromthetrenches6421]

So ichigo is a Quincy because of his moms bloodline and a soul reaper because of his dad but also a fullbringer because his mom was attacked by a hollow prior to ichigo being born…?

[@fork6057]

Aizen altered his senses to make him think he had more time to stay in Soul Society. Hes fused with his zanpakuto so he can use perfect hypnosis anytime i think

[@gojoflo1608]

Yeah remember his battle with Ichigo... They both "Became one" with their swords in the end. Aizen is now his sword, he no longer needs to show his Zanpakuto in order to use KS... He can use it at will and you won't even know he's used it... I'm ready for the Hell Arc.

This was the fight we’ve been waiting for since the beginning. Ichigo finally arrives in the Soul Society. There’s gonna be a lot of revelations regarding his heritage. First with Soul Reaper and Hollow powers, and now Quincy powers have awakened? Ichigo is like a complete tribid here. And Jugram just completely cut Tensa Zangetsu in half like it was nothing.

[@gunsmonkey22]

It kind of rhymed with season 1 when ichigo is about to hit Renji but Biakua cuts his sword in half…though played completely different yet…

[@jamrah8713]

There’s a reason why it cut in half ;) Remember, zanpakutos are essentially the extension of their wielder rather than an actual sword. They can use it like one but it’s more a medium to exact their will and sense of self onto the battlefield through their distinctive powers and characteristics Zanpakuto are closely tied to a persons sense of self, and achieving their various stages (shikai and bankai) requires multiple periods of isolation and discovering one’s self. And we have seen , in past arcs aswell like soul society, when a person sense of self is challenged or halted, it reflects in their zanpakuto too. Remember when Byakuya broke ichigos zanpakuto with little effort? It’s because he didn’t truly know his power yet, and what he’s capable of. He didn’t discover “himself”. He kept rejecting OMZ and brute forcing his way through it, and only once he finally accepted him, hence a part of himself he managed to achieve bankai Now fast forward to this event, ichigo was trading blows with Yhwach, one of if not the strongest foes in the bleach verse, and his zanpakuto only got a little chips, but notice that as soon as that bomb shell is dropped about him not knowing anything about himself, not even his own mother, you could see the confusion, despair, shock in his eyes. “What? My mother? What does he mean? I have Quincy abilities? What was my mother truly? What is this *power* I have truly? Is It different to what I believed it was the whole time?” These will be the thoughts swirling in his head, and due to this, his sense of self starts shattering right in front of him, he thought he knew everything, the hollow, the shinigami, but he clearly didn’t know anything at all, and this is further emphasises with jugram slicing his zanpakuto in half, in a sense saying “You’re not ready, this blade isn’t truly YOU, go find yourself”. This will lead nicely into the next events of this arc too ;) I wrote a lot my bad, but TL;DR: zanpakuto is an extension of a persons sense of self, represented mainly through ichigos journey finding himself. This is shattered once again with the discovery of his Quincy heritage this episode and symbolised with his blade being cut clean in half.

[@kiggerst]

Yamamoto really was picking up thugs, savages, and straight up serial killer for The OG Gotei 13 💀💀 No wonder Yhwach and the quincies didnt stand a chance.

1000 years ago was the Big quincy battle, they didn't eradicate them, The Quincy Invaded and got handled. Quincy still existed just not a army, 200 years ago was the plan to wipe out the rest, tho its seems Uryu family wasn't hostile so seemingly got left alone.

[@rebornonyt]

gotta say r.i.p to the bleach fans that didn’t live to get to see this

[@MarcelleJr92]

Ichigo being a Quincy was foreshadowed all throughout the series but y'all probably weren't paying attention and wellz only read this arc. There's small details in ichigos room, and dialogue from Zangestu/hollow white and Aizen that hints at it.

[@JBPVFL]

Rob missing out that Yhwach still hasn't shown a single ability of his so far. A lot of the things we are seeing so far are a bit like the kido for soul reapers from Yhwach.

[@ThisGuyDakota]

2 things: 1. I think episodes 6 and 7 are pretty much at the level of GoT's Red Wedding 2. Towards the end of the original Bleach series, Ichigo finds out his dad is a soul reaper. After that, his dad offers to tell him everything but Ichigo, more or less, turns him down and tells him to bring it up when he's "ready" for sharing.

[@VonAndMatt]

He was trying to incapacitate ichigo not kill him , he said he wanted him alive to re-educate him . Ywach no diffs ichigo 💀

[@jocoolshow]

In the episode he says he wanted to do that but he can’t afford to anymore and was just gonna take him down by force In the manga he said he was gonna use his full power to defeat Ichigo

[@zankoushadow]

@@jocoolshow well even then its obvious he wasnt fully using the extend of his powers in thsi fight

[@groundzero4372]

That original gotei 13 flashback was so amazing, kubo just released their designs a weak ago so seeing them in the anime was astounding

[@tylerchurch1152]

I feel like if Ichigo did show up without having been trapped, being near 100% as he was during transit to Soul Society, I feel like he would have been able to do more damage to Yhwach for sure, beyond singeing his arm a fair bit from the getsuga. But the end result would have still been what we saw; Ichigo getting smacked around a little bit, truths and shit thrown at him, his sword being broken, and the quincies pulling back.

[@gaalanonim4503]

I mean, Yhwach didn't really want him dead, right? And still, he didn't use any techniques. No Volstandig, no Yama's bankai which he stole, not even (at least I think not) Hirenkyaku. I don't think he even needed to get his sleeve torn tbh. It's more like "he didn't have to protect himself".

[@jocoolshow]

@@gaalanonim4503 His arm was burned up pretty bad. And in the beginning of the series with Ichigo vs Kenpachi it was stated that if your power difference is too great, you won’t hurt the opponent, and you’d be the one that gets damaged instead. And keep in mind this is just from passive reiatsu, but even a defense amping technique like Blut which Ichigo blew through

[@gaalanonim4503]

@@jocoolshow But what do we consider "pretty bad" in Bleach? I mean, some dudes here fall to the ground when getting burned like Yhwach, others gets their limbs cut off like no biggie. Kenpachi's basically a Tony Ferguson - if he's not half-empty with the loss of blood, then the fight didn't even start. Dunno, I assume Ichigo's like 10 times stronger when this arc ends and Yhwach still needs to be a challenge at that point, right? And if so, then the current difference between them HAS to be huge. It's basically how classic shonen stuff works.

[@senpai.007]

You thought it was Yamamoto... You thought it was Ichigo... But it was I... Aizen the one that saved us with a conversation.

[@jayoartz]

If you think about it, most kings think of their subjects as their children which the line "my son" comes in place and "born in the dark" meaning Ichigo not knowing his own background

[@gaalanonim4503]

And apparently, Yhwach wasn't around for 1000 years, while Ichigo clearly remembers his 17/18/19 years of life. I think that's enough to prove that quote to be a metaphore.

[@cabt714]

Yhwach is father of all quincies. Meaning they all came from him like an ancestor. His blood runs through ichigo via his mother being a quincy.

[@TheDonovanMcCormick]

Gotta love them adding 6 paths planetary devastation to Yhwach’s arsenal in the anime lol they makin him even more OP. I’m digging the added material for sure

[@filipe_paixao]

Guys... don't forget that Yhwach still has Yama's bankai that he can pull out anytime he feels like it 💀

[@Froggyquack]

The Storytelling, Music, Soundsdesign, Animation and Pacing in this Episode was perfection. No doubt a perfect Epsiode of Bleach and my Top 10 Shonen Anime Episode

[@garytaylor8193]

What makes this arc hit harder is that as soul reapers they're technically already dead. There's no afterlife for them here and if it is then its automatically in hell

[@donedeald8882]

For some of them it means to hell but not all if you read the new bleach one shot

[@Thesilentvoice...]

Isn’t there heaven and hell? In the bleach hell arc chapter the captains got sent to hell after they died (jushiro). The soul society is like purgatory in a way.

[@itskenlang]

Jerry is the type of dude to think "if i say something and repeat it 5 times and raise my voice each time it'll have more meaning" Jerry also the type of dude to feel himself so much thinking he's clever and funny sayin "you thought this was sweet there aint no sugar in this" and think it was so good material he'll keep saying it throughout the episode every week and not realize it gets old.

[@squilliamfreakyson]

Just call him Yuha or Solo God (because he’s the strongest in the verse and he’s Him) for short.

[@GAZAMAN93X]

@29:20 remember the FKT Arc. Aizen is fused with his zanpakuto. The hogyoku merged both the sword & Aizen together

[@Bromund]

If Ichigo came to the Soul Society at 100% and fought with them before they were all wiped out, he could have been a big problem for some of the Sterrnritter, but definitely not all and DEFINITELY not Yhwach.

[@lukasfinn6042]

This is so fun, great discussion after, i love the theories they're each throwing out. Wellz is probably losing his mind cuz he knows all of the greatness that's coming.

[@apotheosis1660]

Even iF Ichigo was 100% at this time, Haschwalth would've STILL smoked him no diff. In the manga whichis the main continuity (even tho yes anime expansions in this arc is canon), Ichigo's Zanpakuto was completely fine, no dents or anything. And he still no diffed it, even IF he couldn't break it, he COMPLETELY blitzed Ichigo. Would we like to talk about that since Ichigo has Blut Vene, his Zanpakuto is even Harder than before. As ofc a Zanpkuto is connected to its user.

[@zat3995]

In my opinion this is by far the coolest episode so far, I think the coolest part about it is that Ichigo is like revealed to be furious and like a monster on the loose. They couldnt detect him within the seconds of him coming and he instantly is enraged and starts fighting Yhwach. ICHIGOAT

[@STGAoe]

Ichigo at 100% would have still gotten beaten down with no effort. You’ll see exactly how strong these quincy are as time goes on but know that Ichigo would have lost bad regardless Yhwach wanted to take Ichigo seperately rather than take him while also doing the war stuff. Its not because Ichigo is super strong since there are a bunch of people there who could beat him, its only because Yhwach had his own plans to capture Ichigo seperately

[@Phantom_8222]

I agree with your comment. Not every sternritter was present or even active in the first invasion. That should help people understand the Ichigo at this point would get beaten by at the very least 10~15 other quincy aside from Juha and Jugrem.

Take note that the quincies before were way stronger than the ones how

[@jocoolshow]

No they weren’t, what gave you that idea? We didn’t even see any of the Sternritters of the past

[@GAZAMAN93X]

Quincy's are basically humans with high Spiritual Pressure & awareness so yes Uryu is human.

[@EPB3]

They just don’t know how powerful Yhwach really is. Aizen is still my favorite character tho.

[@DaMarleyMan]

As a manga reader, I was absolutely thrilled to see the original gotei 13. I never in a million years could of seen that coming. I hope they somehow someway give us some back grown info on the remaining 11 since we know already about Unohana and Yamamoto.

[@itwasntoptional2513]

Y’all gotta pay more attention 🤦‍♂️. What ichigo used is called Blut Vene and it’s a Quincy ability used for defensive purposes. We’ve been seeing the sternritter use it these past few episodes. Come on man.
