ICHIGO FINDS OUT THE TRUTH! | Bleach TYBW Ep 7 (373) REACTION

[@StruckByBelz]

Bleach took my heart this episode. Not Byakuya man😭

[@samuelromeo6937]

Yes the old gotei 13 were absolute monsters. they showed no mercy. that's why they showed them. THe original gotei were absolute monsters.

[@qzpmqzpmqzpmqzpm]

according to the manga he didnt die, but we will see

[@mugenshiratori6825]

The way the poem at the end goes... it refers to fireworks. So it is possible that the one who says the poem at the end is Kukaku Shiba, Ganju's older sister who owns the big ass cannon.

[@MassBoost]

Once you see Ichigo's dad Isshin's backstory, everything about Ichigo will start to make complete sense.

bro, you need to know that this is only the start, as we say manga readers it's the first invasion more hype moments to come, and rest in peace to the SAUSE Captain him self, SINBONZAKURA KAGIYOSHI.....

[@DFTNSHEXGRM]

Aizen is such a boss. I love that Kubo kept him relevant and didn’t let the new big bad completely overshadow Aizen. Aizen is a whole other problem on his own. And as we just found out, he can use Kyoka Suigetsu without openly activating it.. He’s really fused with his Zanpakuto like he said he did before he got sealed. Freakin crazy.

[@julianr8544]

Bro Aizen is the OG villain, he's just too fire. I freaking loved this episode and I'm glad he's still got that "I'm Him" energy.

[@Ephemerthefish2525]

they say that aizen is using kyokasuigetsu to show his face due to fact his face was also sealed

It's fair to say that at this point Aizen was still stronger than Yhwach. The powerscaling got too crazy later on that even bigger hacks than KS were needed.

When Yhwach says the Gotei 13 died with them 1000 years ago he means the hardcore, savage, get the job done by any means or sacrifice attitude employed by the first generation is the true version of soul society's protectors. They were the ones worth fear and respect. He is implying that the years of peace, morals, and kindness made the Gotei 13 soft and weak and not worth worrying about

[@smerkz1378]

Agreed ichigo definitely the best when it comes to being a "Hero" just feels like he's being real and actually has emotions

[@gabrieldossantos1116]

It's because most shounen characters only fight because "it's the right thing to do" not because they really want to save that person specifically. And that's fine, being a good person and all. But when you have an mc like Ichigo who genuinely knows the people he is protecting and considers them friends it makes for a much more powerful effect. Seeing an mc save a random person he never met is one thing but seeing Ichigo rush to the fight because he needs to save his friends and the people we the audience know and love is just another level.

[@muchoyurdem5260]

Ichigo: "the mc is me" 😉

[@yeonbibi191]

We grow up knowing how Ichigo is, and the fact that it feels resonating how he feels and when put into his shoes we know a lot will feel the same. And the best thing about him is that even through hopeless situation he keeps moving forward, he keeps fighting.

To compare CSM and Bleach is completely stupid considering CSM is at it's starting point while Bleach is in it's final arc. As OffDutyOfficial said, CSM has TONS going for it. The fact Bleach is a continuation of a long loved series definitely amps up the hype for it.

[@Shinigami15436]

That moment between Ichigo and Byakuya was both wonderful and gut-wrenching because that’s pretty much the end of their relationship. Byakuya once saw Ichigo as a despicable invader, who spat on the traditions of the Soul Society. And now, he sees him as a fellow combatant and a friend. That is the reason why Byakuya has the best character development in all of Bleach, and will always be my favorite character.

[@ichigo2012hollowmask]

When Yhwach said the 13 Court Guard Squads died 1000 years ago with the first Quincies, he meant it metaphorically as Yamamoto would grow "weak" in his eyes. After the first Quincy Shinigami war, Yamamoto and the 13 squads would become dedicated to peace and justice which, in Yhwach's eyes, is weakness. Yamamoto in his younger years was a monster like Yhwach said, not in terms of power level but just how ruthless he was. It was the same for his first generation 13 squad captains from 1000 years ago, all of them were bloodthirsty killers of their era, not honorable captains like in modern times. Unohana, one of the original captains from that time period, will have her backstory explained in a few episodes and you'll see her true self.

[@Nicknotify]

Kubo foreshadowed Ichigo being a Quincy in the very first episode of Bleach, theres a scene where Ichigo is laying on his bed and his bed sheets have a giant Quincy cross on them, also remember when Rukia was trying to give Ichigo her powers at the start of Bleach but Ichigo "took" all of them...well Quincies can absorb Reishi....Aizen knew Ichigo was half Quincy that's why he told Ichigo before Isshin interrupted him"You're half human and half-", theres much much more little foreshadow moments through tout Bleach but some havent been revealed yet so I wont say them

He just gave a whole speach about how during the war the 13 captains were a bunch of savage killers BUT when they won the war they became soft, peace loving and they had more things to protect now aka the savage nature of the captains "died" with the Quincies in Juha Bach (Yhwach) eyes. Just like he said about yama that a 1000 years ago in yama's eyes everyone was just like ash to him but now he refuses to let a human to heal his arm. So he meant that their savage killing nature and strength died that day, just like a soldier who already gave up on the war before it even began in a sense he already died(but is still alive).

5:22 it was a metaphorical saying, Yhawch said that the Gotei 13 “died” with the Quinces a thousand years ago in the way that they had just gotten weaker after the Quincy Extermination war, the original captains who founded the 13 squads were said to be the strongest gen of the Gotei 13 because at the time, they were made up of the most vicious, bloodthirsty and psychotic criminals soul society had ever known and they were so violent that they managed to annihilate the previous army of Yhwach easy, but after the war, the captains basically mellowed out and became less vicious as they were replaced with less violent replacements, that while a good thing, started weakening the organization as the standards of the captains began leaning towards peacekeeping rather than fighters….. In Yhawch’s perspective, this was the “death” of the gotei 13 as they slowly got “weaker” being tied down by morals, kindness and peacetime that begun to slowly drain their “strength” as the strongest group of soul reapers…..

To add my other theory, his name represents the letters of each God which deals with how his full name become God Awake in translation to his name being yhwach.

It's such a different experience for those who have read the manga and know what's new and extended scenes in this anime. The entire intro was new and amazing.

[@noctiz7162]

I remember that in chapter 296 of the anime when Aizen was telling ichigo that it was all part of his plan, he mentions that he is human and... That's when ichigo's father arrives and interrupts him, so with this chapter we confirm that Aizen was going to tell him that he was a Quincy or part Quincy because because of his father he is shinigami and he became half vizard/arrancar/holow/vastolorde so Let's see what else is missing. (The aforementioned does not count as a spoiler because I have not said anything that has not already been seen).

[@thrilla72]

Something that a commenter pointed out is that when Ichigo disappeared after arriving. It was because he didn't use a flash step/shunpo like a Shinigami but it was a Sonido!!! Something only the Hollows use!!!

[@idatenzero]

When Yhwach said that the Gotei 13 died alongside the Quincys 1000 years ago, he was basically referring to how soft Yamamoto is, and how his old, bloodthirsty and savage ways died after he killed off the Quincy and how he became a shell of his former self. I hope we get more screen time of the OG Gotei 13, their zanpakuto designs were insane!

What Yuwach meant by "The 13 squads died with us a 1000 years ago" is the new 13 squad took on a different upbringing than the ruthless nature of the old squad. So their barbaric ways have significantly toned down and changed therefore the traditional way of the sword died after the war 1000 years ago.

This might be long, but it will give you more context/clarification without spoilers. So to give some clarifications, what we saw at the beginning was the original/first 13 captains, as mentioned they were ALL blood thirsty killers posed as good guys (picture current Zaraki Kenpachi but dialed somewhere between 11-20 out of 10 when it comes battle junkies/killers) . But over the years the head captain took a more peaceful approach and 13 captains and role of soul society became more about honor, justice, duty, etc (also the original 4 familes including yoruichi ancestor is part of the original 13 captains, along with ichigo dad's bloodline, and byakuya ~ last two are speculated). Anyways when he says the original 13 captains died with the Quincy 1000 years ago, he means their strength and ability to do anything (implies they arnt rutheless/blood thirsty enough/strong to do anything about it). He currently see the 13 as bunch of weaklings/cosplayers, and only a few ppl a threat aka the special weapons. Back to original 13, kubo dropped a color picture of them last week i'll attach a twitter link in the replies but if it doesnt work you can ask someone in discord to link it, it made the rounds for all the manga ppl. Also there's a potential for a sequel arc, but you won't see it in anime form anytime soon. Kubo dropped like a 50 page one-shot last year pretty much setting up a premise of a sequel story lines x-years past this current arc (leaving the number out to not be spoilery). Essentially it will involve Hell (like the movie). The reason why Hell is significant that when captains "die" they cant be put back into the cycle of soul society then go to earth and vice versa. They have to much spiritual pressure they will break the balance that they protect. So captains get sent to Hell when they die, and since the potential (un-written arc) involves Hell, ppl are speculating we will see the original captains at the minimum. if kubo decides to expand on the one-shot, which he might.

I was so happy to watch this episode because I knew with every fiber of my being that they would play “Nothing can be explained” when Ichigo had his true nature revealed

[@jameseddleman6944]

5:20, they "died" metaphorically a thousands years ago, when they chose to kill a bunch of people and make an enemy that would come back and kill them, they sealed their own fates.

[@lawzenhowsadyojatashivam4206]

this episode its really crazy broff

[@KingAizen1]

5:25 he's pretty much saying that the soul reapers fate was already sealed when they killed off the quincies a 1000 years ago

[@rrah4942]

Let’s go, can’t wait for your blu lock reaction too 🔥

[@eugenephilipdeguzman4398]

the ichigo reveal that hes a half quincy and aizen knew about it since ep1 thats why he chose ichigo to be his stepping stone. its really coming down to the main/real plot or story of bleach its proly one of the best foreshadowing ive seen in bleach

[@ethansouls77]

Bleach has been so fire so far. What I like so far is that you don't know who will survive. In the previous seasons you could generally tell that all good guys would survive and bad guys usually die. Now it's all just up in the air. Thanks for the reactions as always.

[@Sepharuma]

So when Yhwach says to Yamamoto that the 13 Court Guard died with them 1000 years ago, I think it's more in a metaphorical sense rather than literal. Kinda like, the old ruthless Gotei 13 I knew died a long time ago and the one that remains (Yama included) is a lot different and kinder than the previous one was.

[@trevorprice13]

Shunsui can't catch a break with guns. In the Arrancar arc, Kyoraku Shunsui fought Coyote Stark (Espada #1). His weapon, Lilinette, was a Cero gun. Again in this arc, he's fighting a Quincy using Reishi guns lol

[@mujammadgandarov5391]

Remember when Aizen said that ichigo is a shinigami and a… and was cut off by isshin

[@locusthordemini]

The music was so damn good in this episode and they really nailed the despair that the manga had maybe even exceeded it some ways.

[@marocain7939]

When ichigo was training to find a name for his sword, the character that embodied the sword was similar to yoha bakh. This means that he is actually his father

[@tevinlogan8781]

So many emotions in this episode I don't know how I feel the only feelings I can express in this episode is shocked awe and just terrifying fear because these quincies I don't even think they showed us what they can truly do just yet

[@95Tanner]

At the end is symbolism with the candle going out, the flame being extinguished.

[@vegboylokesh7778]

We dont know so i lile to imagine chojiro's shikai was like spring moustachio from one punch man😅

[@jeremie2337]

20:45 you have to remember that during the previous battle quincys couldn't yet steal bankais so it was sort of easy for the first generation of captains to get rid of them compare to now. If they had that ability back then I think the results would have probably been the same as now.
