Bleach TYBW Episode 36 Reaction! | BABY, HOLD YOUR HAND 2

[@Step43099]

23:10 i will interject here cause I’m listening to the discussion still. Ikkaku and Yumichika weren’t trying to insult her for talking. They were more surprised that was talking so much and offering so much input because it’s out of the norm for her specifically. Her speaking so much on her own and them questioning her about it is the lead up to the moments she has in this episode when she makes her own decisions for what she wants

[@DFTNSHEXGRM]

It’s things like this are why I wish the anime didn’t split up the Pernida and Lille fight. You lose context, foreshadowing, and set up. It’s been 2 weeks now since part 1 of this fight, and in the manga this fight goes for a whole volume uninterrupted. They should have made this fight two episodes back to back and THEN Shunsui’s fight, because too much time in between ruins the momentum imo.

[@vanguardduelist]

The way I view it, Mayuri absolutely cares about Nemu, but he is the type to not show compassion or be sentimental at all. He’s a scientist to a fault. It’s f’d up, but the way he treats Nemu is due to him believing in her. No matter what happens to her or how he treats her, he believes she can handle anything because she is his greatest creation. I think it’s interesting that Mayuri implants these different drugs and organs into Nemu, but not into himself. Sure it’s a way for him to experiment on her, but in my opinion, it’s his twisted way of protecting her by giving her these things that would help only her, like the organ that helps her cells regenerate or the drug that affected Szayalapporo when he invaded her body.

Not gonna lie, every time I hear this OST it never fails to get me in my feels. Im glad the used the song with vocals, it hits so hard for me 💜

16:25 - Mayuri knew he was in no danger of losing Nemu against Uryu, but when he saw her acting on her own in the fight against Pernida, he knew how dangerous that could be for her well-being. He wasn't going to place her in a situation where he could lose her, but she herself might, hence his concern.

[@isaibnsaleheen]

I love how he calls it Project Nemuri (As in, Project Dream) so Nemu is essentially his dream. And the episode title ties back with that so well where he's in a never-ending dream when he's with her :')))

[@davibento6517]

Mayuri's change of heart can be summarized simply: he experienced significant personal growth. At the start, he treated everyone around him as mere subjects for scientific experimentation. However, during his confrontation with Szayel Aporro, he came to understand that not all scientists share the same ideals. Some, like Szayel, obsess over the concept of perfection. Interestingly, Mayuri himself once pursued perfection, as seen earlier in the series, until Ishida shattered his pride. This humbling experience shifted his perspective. Now, Mayuri operates with a more nuanced outlook, believing that certain things are worth preserving. A pivotal factor in his evolution was Nemu. Despite her crucial role in his growth, he never acknowledged her contributions. Now, he seems to recognize her value, desiring her to share in the journey of his transformation from now on.

[@DrunkenSoulReaper]

Her being beat up and injured .,, is usually apart of mayuri strategy against an opponent But in this case she had the potential to be exploded completely Which is why mayuri didn’t want her to help in this fight,,,, he viewed her as perfect and didn’t want to lose her …… subconsciously Him realizing sylaperlo was right , brought him back to his former self completely

[@o.m.a.r3311]

Mayuri had that infamous Blue Lock awakening.

[@pitoseavy4523]

Lmfaooo I love y'all trying to justify abuse for your own agendas

[@DrunkenSoulReaper]

@ bro stfu … nobody justifying shit …… I was addressing their concerns in the video 🤡🤡🤡

[@joselarios6848]

He didn’t even use her as a meat shield vs uryu lol. Nemu acted all on her own there as well. Mayuri poisoned her by accident & cut her in half. Didn’t give her any medical aid. Because he knew “the body that he created” could NEVER die from something so weak.

[@MAYUTHEUNDEAD]

​@@pitoseavy4523 no one is justifying anything, this is literally the reason he got upset at Nemu and told her "you're not allowed to die" "your mission is to grow" the episode literally spoonfeeds you this information. how do you not understand? the "Szayel" that appeared in his mind was his own thoughts criticizing himself for actually believing Nemu was perfect. That's how he genuinely felt. He just deluded himself into thinking she actually was perfect and could handle anything and would never die because she was his masterpiece, until Pernida threatened that security. No one is justifying Mayuri's actions. No one is saying this small semblance of vulnerability and humanity he shows makes up for all the war crimes and abuse and terrible things he's done. No one is saying he's redeemed or anything. Mayuri is a beloved character for the same reason people like characters such as Aizen or Griffith or Makima or Kenjaku or Endeavor etc despite their horrible actions. Mayuri is an amazing and complex character.

[@ajisaputra-nii6279]

The reason why he sacrifice Nemu on that Uryu fight, because he can restore her back because his plan was to cut half both Uryu and her. In this fight her body just being blasted and destroyed by Pernida which he cannot restore (aside of cerebrum)

[@M.Albury242]

I never expected there would be a day where I would shed a tear for Mayuri and Nemu.

[@Anhiksi]

Incredibly beautiful episode.

[@dantes4780]

Mayuri basically killed Pernida with cancer.

[@rahulshetty6391]

Nemu having the accelerated cell division thing cause nemu 6 cell division stopped after sometime..

[@1993espada]

Mayuri did say to Uryu in his fight that his creation wouldn't die from this. So if she died from him stabbing her he would consider her a failure at that point. But Pernidas attacks would be to much for her so he is concerned in this case.

[@ritvikdesu2102]

Ok this relation needs to be explained. Mayuri is a scientist, he loves his creation and knows their capability. In the early Bleach against Uryu, Nemu says she might not survive the poison. As a scientist thats like disrespectful cause you know their limits and they cant be that weak. For eg. if you taught your child how to count, and when hes 10 he cant even count upto 100 which he should be, then you would be slightly angered that you know what your child is capable of but he doesnt/ cant do that. 2nd, Mayuri cares for Nemu, as seen her death literally affected him to be depressed and sad. Mayuri confirms this by saying "It took a pseudo-scientist to remind be how to be a scientist". Also Mayuri mostly never lets Nemu fight at all, he always told her to not move until i ask for help(stated by nemu as well in episode 34 of TYBW), only one instance was in SS arc against Uryu(In arrancar arc she was just captured by Szayellaporro). So as a Scientist you always care for your creation for eg. Robots, but you are constantly stressed and when your creation underestimate itself, then it will make you at least a little mad cause you know that it could do it its capable but doesnt. Thats the relation between a scientist and its creation. And Nemu is not just a clone of anything, shes the first you could say the original one who was able to survive the limits of an ordinary artificial soul aka 2 years. Hence you could say shes the first and from now on if there were more, they would be clones of Nemus soul you could say.

[@ritvikdesu2102]

if there are any points which are incorrect or you feel you have more points then feel free to reply

[@piyushgupta7843]

​@@ritvikdesu2102love your explanation, it's rare to see people actually understanding things to it's depth when it's about bleach so whenever I see someone understanding this writing it makes me happy man

[@sasagrcevic7048]

Him not calling her Nemuri no.7 means she is no longer an "experiment" in his eyes. He firmly believes he succeeded and that there is no point in labeling her like he would a jar with samples. So he considers her a person to some degree and not a prototype anymore.

[@Castiel_01x]

Actually i think Mayuri's poison would not have worked on Nemu. I think that's what she said.

[@ritvikdesu2102]

@@Castiel_01x yup, and when she said she might not survive because of poison, Mayuri(as a scientist) got mad as he knew that isnt enough to kill Nemu.

[@carsson123]

It's curious that Mayuri claims that «now he's no different than Zaraki», obviously because not only have they both (temporarily) lost their legs but more important than that, they've both lost their female companions/"daughter figures"...

[@AgrestisAnima]

i get what you mean but i still think you are interpreting too much into this.

[@Hansen_0101]

Nah this is reaching

[@sejadlulic8377]

mayuri neither wants nor needs your pitty, he just wanna 1up urahara and do evil experiments :)

[@SamTheGumMan117]

This was definitely my favourite episode of part 3 from Nemu's glow up, then blow up, the music was just next level amazing, then Mayuri and Nemu's relationship expanded upon and shown more for the better of both of them. Such a great fight and end to it plus the after credit scenes were awesome.

[@nachot6592]

I think it hit him hard because at this point two things happened, first she showed she had actually developed a soul and her own emotions and after realizing that, she immediately died.

[@reddragon8780]

An important detail that is important to the story is that Mr Hat and Clogs has created his own artificial souls in the two kids at his house. That means mayuri still lose to him in the science aspect. Also, there will be a new Nemu as a kid after the war is over. When I think of mayuri in bleach, I think of orchimarun from bleach.

[@Serocco]

Nemu's death is so uncomfortable to watch. It's great character growth for her and Mayuri, but I feel bad for her, not for him. Fun fact: The Femritters showing up at the arena, Candice and Meninas being zombies, and the Quincy soldiers carrying Yhwach's eyes are all anime original. I really have no idea what they're gonna do now ngl, and I like that :D

[@Captain_Sosuke_Aizen]

He used his ashizogi gezo on her during the fight with ishida which only paralyses people, and neither he or her are affected by his poison. It doesn't harm her in any way. Both are not in human lvls and does not think like human beings. He definitely cared for her, but she was built by him like a tank and she being a tank is his pride. I know for women's brain the intent is more important than the practical action and consequence, I understand that. However, understand he or she is not and does not think like humans (forget human woman's sensibilities. ) Kubo's writing has always been beyond a lot of people.😂 Some reviewers say "oh Mayuri loved her in his own twisted way". Even that is wrong, because thats how living beings care, only think that is twisted are the prism of human morals , which are mostly an act at best or virtue signaling & white knighting in its worst . Thats why Mayuri is considered the best of bleach charector and the favourite of kubo.

[@WeyardWiz]

9:38 animation 🔥 10:08 😢

[@nerdabc1564]

To be fair, Nemu has been attending Female Shinigami Association and enjoy her life with other people. Obviously, Mayuri allowed her to join the group. Mayuri is a complicated character. He is definitely an evil mad scientist and at the same time, Nemu's father. The both sides wish Nemu's growing in the end.

[@QuincyArmy-dd7mb]

Goodbye to my babygirl Nemu 😥 Now, what you can take from this episode regarding Mayuri i would say, is that he had a heart, a soft spot for his daughter and dream, he was not the best Father yes but he was a father after all. Szaylaporo hallucinations was a coping mechanism of his brain to restore the facade of a scientist that was for a fleeting moment broken exposing his feeling.

[@yarfoot7524]

Mayuri genuinely did care about Nemu I think its undebatable to say otherwise, I mean look at the flashback images she was given things to play with areas to grow seemingly grew up around some of the other lab members(including the GOAT, almost like an older brother Akon), and as messed up as the way Mayuri treats her throughout the series(with the exception of that very first fight in soul society imo as Kubo was def going a more dark route with him initially then switched his story, for the better imo.) he never puts her into something he thinks she shouldn't survive. Is Mayuri a monster? Yes Does he care about Nemu? Also Yes Also it's not a genuine mistreatment from the other Gotei 13 members it's just genuine confusion. Yumichika and Ikkaku just genuinely find it weird that she was talking so much because she previously hadn't and it would be previously unheard of that a mod soul would evolve and change on its own like that, they weren't being mean or telling her to shut up just actually surprised that she evolved. Nemu is being considered to be the next vice-president of the Shinigami Women's Association(which Yachiru is the head of by the way) so she is actually quite liked by most of the Gotei 13. The only person we really see mistreating Nemu terribly is Mayuri from what I remember.

[@recon12100]

Mayuri was more worried in this fight because of Pernida's abilities and how dangerous Pernida is He wasn't worried about Uryu because he knew Uryu would hesitate against her and he knows how much damage he himself can inflict on her Mayuri also can revive Nemu in certain circumstances such as when Szayelaporro killed her in the arrancar arc

[@SeaBagel228]

Maiyuri and Nemu’s father/daughter relationship is like watching aliens interact He was COMPLETELY abusing her back in Soul Society but the same time she trusted and understood how he worked despite that, and Maiyuri may not say it but trusts Nemu in return treating her weirdly more and more equally as the series continues less abuse until Nemu eventually takes action on her own here His dream was to raise life from nothing, it was for science but became someone who takes in his own traits, to evolve, it’s his child. A bizarre relationship but only when she was gone Maiyuri finally realized he cared for his daughter This is really a: “Dad: “I don’t want a daughter” Dad and the Daughter:” Moment 😭

[@300barre9]

Moment of silence for the day Mayuri almost GAF

[@yannischupin7787]

Mayuri is soo interesting of a character, because this kind of f up scientist may exist on this (Edit: our) planet, so his character is such a big warninig, I am glad we can discuss these topics along with the episode. Especially since Artificial life is something that is step by step becoming achievable by thenology... This rases so many questions, I am happy they are debated.

[@AutumnOnFire]

Just based off the Mayuri episodes, I would LOVE to see you guys watch Made In Abyss. That journey is going to be a RIDE.

[@blackpyramid916]

Je suis Français je comprends pas trop l’anglais mais regarde quand même les réactions parce que j’aime bleach ❤

[@sofarsogood8680]

Mayuri for me, is typical abusal parenting trope in Asian culture. Where they don't want their child to die, but they will do anything abusive for them to grow as in his knowledge ,they can overcome that. Overcontrolling , talk back and non-appreciative remark also indications of that trope. And i believe Nemu is not growing alone in the lab, cause Akon ,Kuna and a few other R&D assistant always in the lab, observing hollow radar, dangai, sutra scale and all that. She only lacks of fatherly presence in her childhood. Also why small Nemu so concerned about Mayuri didn't called her Nanago? Cause Nanago has cute intonation to it, plus in Jp , calling a person's last name shows closeness or familiarity.

[@jobinmcgooch]

This is some sick shit and I absolutely love it! 🤘🏽Another tremendous episode and Nemu really might the best girl. Having Szayelaporro Granz make an appearance was cool. I also can’t wait to see Toshiro in action now that he’s back and I really hope Kensei and Rose also got put through Mayuri’s de-zombifying process🤞🏽Need to see Kenpachi enter the fold again as well 😈

[@naman2203]

Rather than father and daughter imo their relationship is more like she is mayuri's greatest creation so he is usually very confident when he orders her cuz he calculates she can withstand that much. Incase of pernida even 1 blow was fatal(as you saw) so he didnt order her, but she puts mayuri before herself so she jumped on her own to protect mayuri this time(again the same reason that how much of a threat pernida was)

[@Castiel_01x]

Nemu is dead. Even if there's another Nemu she would be completely different.

[@AJ-kt5zo]

Exactly. Her brain but her soul and body was destroyed to add to your point.

[@kenpachizaraki4303]

Mayuri is a mad scientist.. his brain operates on a different dimension than any of us. I refuse to believe he cared for Nemu as a daughter lol.

[@mark8327-u5f]

No! Mayuri cares thats what this episode shown.☝ But mayuri like akon said he is embarrassed to show how he is proud of nemu and care for her becus he is a scientest.☝

[@donta1221]

Lol, he can't get a full sentence out😭

[@tnuhenaj3752]

yeah you kinda hit the nail on the head with your analysis. only correction is that mayuri did care about nemu beyond his scientific dreams. He just can't admit it. But you got it better than a lot of bleach fans which is that mayuri is not a sympathetic character at all and it makes no sense to feel bad for him. Nemu is the tragic one here. All sympathy to her she deserved better than mayuri who abused her so much. The issue is that mayuri is kubo's fave character and no author can write their fav characters that well. They always give them too much special treatment at the detriment of other characters. For other authors they get away with it a bit better cause their favs will be main characters or popular characters so people let it slide. Mayuri has been less evil and bad to nemu since he beecame a "good guy" cause kubo knows he wouldn't be able to get away with all the stuff he did before. But issue is he made him way too terrible in soul society arc. So much that it becomes hard to forget or ignore. It ruins the nemu flashback a bit. It does lead to a really fascinating feeling though where you aren't really sure how to feel. So its an interesting moment for that alone.Theres more to say but you can go on forever talking about this moment.

[@HaganeNoTema]

You are kinda reaching in the last part, but you got the point for most of it.

[@tnuhenaj3752]

@ not a reach at all. It’s a complex moment. You’re the one that probably didn’t get the point.

[@Castiel_01x]

Oh please you're reaching with the last part. If anything Kubo made sure to let everyone know that Mayuri is still bad in TYBW when he killed off thousands of innocents to just maintain balance. That's far worse than anything he has done in the SS arc.

[@tnuhenaj3752]

@@Castiel_01x Nah its not a reach at all. Anime fans are just yes men who can't criticize anything they like ever. Thats why idiots were going off at them for not liking askin even though people didn't like askin at this point yet in the manga cause he hadn't done anything. Just saying he killed off thousands of souls is not the same as showing him torturing people and gloating about it. In soul society kubo literally gave a backstory to a random soul reaper nobody just so we would feel worse for him when he got blown up as a bomb. Meticulously crafted to be as evil as possible. It's show not tell. Not to mention he expunged those souls to preserve the balance it wasn't evil at all. Only necessary.

[@o.m.a.r3311]

11:08 We were right about him cause he wasn't laughing & will perfect Nemu No.8. 13:26 Thank you for being the only ones. He's not a fan of loyalty.

[@Captain_Sosuke_Aizen]

3:50 not understanding the nuances of charector. When someone say something out loud it means something else actually. Most reviewers did understand this. Sad you are mono dimensional and can't pick it up. You need to up your game.

[@DFTNSHEXGRM]

Right? Him saying “you’ll die when I command you to” He would never do that, so he’s saying in his own twisted way, you’re too important to me to let you sacrifice yourself in this fight.

[@gr4840]

it's still a shitty way of saying it though. like I'm to proud to say that I care so I'm gonna phrase it like this.

[@Captain_Sosuke_Aizen]

@gr4840 I can say I care for some one I don't a 100 time, it's just empty words. These are all acts done by humans to have a false sense of warmth and belongingness. Relation between mayuri and nemu is beyond such fakery.
