Soul King being limbless was apart of his quote on quote sacrifice

[@kvngslatt_]

not even just limbless, he’s practically just an empty husk of skin and muscle at this point.

[@T_money808]

Tidbits if you’re interested ~ The most important thing in this cour is that it's pulling many things that were implied or outright stated in Can't Fear You Own World(CFYOW) The Soul King Andyeus was a being like what you see with the Hogyoku transformation. He was the first being in the primorial world to be like a case with Ichigo. He had all the powers and aspects of souls from the 3 realms, and like you saw in the last cour with Ichigos training in the Irazu Sando with Ichibei allows Ichigo to see the eternal memories of the "original world" The original world will continue to be a big point of conflict. As the story of Bleach is a conflict of religions. The Shinigami are representations of Shinto-Buddhsit-Daoist elements of philosophy/religion. The Quincies represent the Western view of the world. I.e Gnosticism/Abrahamic religion. It's why the Quincies also have a Nazi theme to them as well if you didn't already notice. The whole point of this arc is that Yhwach wants the world to be like what you saw in the flashbacks in this episode. That primorial world that cosmic ontological ocean of existence and soul. No boundaries (different worlds and laws) and thus no life or death. Which means no pain or suffering. Ywach wants the world created by the ancestors to the 5 grand royal families to be severed and destroyed since it's the source of what he views as evil, pain, suffering and sin. This makes sense when you look at the world in Bleach. You have 3 realms all living in fear of death. To understand fully, you have to do literary analysis and look at Eastern Philosophy In the East, specifically in terms of Buddhism, the primary struggle facing people is the cultivation of self and freeing themselves from the cycle of samsara. Those who selfishly pursue things will be forced to endlessly reincarnate and thus, continue to experience "dukka"(suffering) and "anatta" (impermance) until they let go of the five aggregates of Buddhism. In Confucianism, You have a humanist centered philosophy, that espouses, the flourishing of society as being the best good. Anything deviating from this or the virtues of a enlightened individual in society leads to the imbalance and gives the impression of "Evil". that is Specifically to "way of the gentlemen" are benevolence (ren 1), righteousness (yi f&), ritual propriety (li i), wisdom (zhi E), and trustworthiness (xin 15). However, in Shintoism, there is a struggle and balancing of kegare ("pollution" or "impurity"), while ensuring harae ("purity"). Which contradicts some Buddhist ideas of the non-self(atman) In Daoism, you have the Cosmic Yin and Yang. Which is Dialectical monism, also known as dualistic monism. This is not to be confused with just monism(the idea that reality is built on things of a material substance, like atomism). This is a special case of ontology (study of being) where the forces represent themselves, as perceptions in the realm of the minds, not substantive nature. It's also merely an illusion like Buddhism. In Daoism, they practice "wu wei" and forms of partaking in Dao(or Tao) there is human dao, natural dao and great dao. But tying back to Bleach in simple terms. Ywach (Juha Bach) is trying to create the original world which is like the Western interpretation of Heaven or an eternal persistent world. This should make thematic sense, since Juha Bach is basically a allusion to the Abrahamic god. He has the Messiah theme and since he's the son of the "Soul King" this is similar to the Holy Trinity. The Soul reapers are trying to maintain the cycle of Samara from Buddhism which is responsible for the wheel of life, death and reincarnation. It’s a battle for the best possible worlds

[@steurlztutz21]

This was so beautifully well written. 💯💯💯💯💬💬

[@fallenphoenix7885]

This is why Bleach is my favorite anime. There is so much to the story outside of what is explicitly stated, and it's all so well written. Great job breaking this down

[@A-RedHerring]

Yhwach is the GOAT villain I agree.

[@WeyardWiz]

4:39, 5:06 this extended ichigo vs ywach round2 was once again 90% anime original 🔥🔥🔥 14:46 "gotta check social media" 😂 16:06 ya that title twist was insane 👌 17:17 kubo really wrote 2/2 final villians in bleach

[@DFTNSHEXGRM]

“His fade is frozen in time” 😂😂😂

[@Nik-xh8gt]

Yhwach not only want a world were there is a place for quincies, but also a world without fear and death for everyone. So he has kinda good motives, it's just the cost for this world is too much. Also this world is gonna have some serious downsides. And it's not like there's a some sick catch. This world would letteraly be without death and fear, and is not gonna be like hell at all (and being immortal is not gonna be a real problem, because we already have characters who lived for millions of years, and they are fine), but there will be some really important things missing, and some character will talk about that somewhere at the end of cour 4

[@300barre9]

🗣 C'mon Chad do something

[@unohana-retsu]

verse would've exploded if he did something. He's the real soul king.

[@roliandibagas244]

i know Yhwach just laughing as he foresaw Ichigo came with Chad and Ganju lmao

[@loivern8015]

I can’t imagine Chad losing 😤

[@GavrielRosario]

don't worry chad is soul king's father and he will avenged his son

[@somekid2760]

U where correct about them coming crashing back to one universe

[@AJ-kt5zo]

And unleashing untold natural and unnatural destruction. And naturally destruction, destructive 🖊️🖋️🖋️🖊️ pened up reaistu worth of destruction to add to your point.

[@INBCPC1994]

Basically the Quincy are an anomaly and shouldn't exist in the Bleach universe because their actions i.e erasing Hollows fucks OP the entire flow of souls. The Soul King abandoned Yhwach/Quincies, this whoel think is because a father neglected his son lol

[@muchoyurdem5260]

But the Sk didn't abandon Yhwach/Quincys. It was rather the Shinigamis than SK. And either way, Yhwach was the one revolting against the current world.

[@DrizzleDrizzle15]

My boy is starting to understand 🙌

[@abeautifullie7579]

Always fun hearing your thoughts on the future events of the series. Great episode and reaction! 🔥🫶🏽

[@GodOfWar187]

This episode was like 80% original content. They're rearranging A LOT of things from the manga on top of just fleshing out several things for both Yhwach and Ichigo's character.

[@loivern8015]

Yhwach better watch out cause I can’t imagine Chad losing 😤😤

[@AnubisVoid]

[Tidbits][Lot of Reading] - This episode was loaded with new content that wasn’t in the Manga, the most important being the reveal of why Ichigo was so important towards Yhwach’s plans and also learning the Soul Kings' name “Adnyeus” (Plus the fight here is exclusive to the anime) - We first saw this name mentioned last season during Yhwach’s chant for the Auschwallen technique. “...eye of agate, tongue of gold, skull cap, coffin of Adnyeus. This object we raise is your heart”. What’s interesting is that fans discovered that the name is likely a reference to “Adonai” a substitute phrase for the name “Yhwh”. This is important because Adonai means “made of god” and “eus” means “made of silver”. (Without spoiling, Silver has an important role to play in regards to Yhwach as the Quincy King so keep this in mind) (Notice that Ryuken was holding small pieces of silver in his palm) - Yhwach says “The more you turn your blade against me, the more you will fall into despair” This is because he can foresee the future, but the symbolic aim of this is to show how Yhwach embodies fate itself, do you raise your blade against what you believe to be set in stone? how can you and should you fight the inevitable? - We still don’t get the whole aim behind Yhwach’s actions but here we get another significant piece. In short, The Balance exists in a way that alienates the Quincy by nature, this Balance was made in a way that seemingly consigned Quincies to extinction. - Many will likely question why Yhwach even deactivates his "Almighty" in the first place. I believe it's because he's trying to get Ichigo to see things his way and he’s gauging Ichigo’s improvement (That’s why he’s using the same moves he used during the 1st clash), plus if anything happens he can activate it at any time so it's a non-issue in his eyes. - This episode shows us why Yhwach seemingly acted around Ichigo this entire time. Ichigo was a key part of the future he wanted to occur. [I worded that way for a reason because it’s slightly more complex, but the anime hasn’t quite delved into it] - Sidenote: Fans speculate that Ichibei sent Ichigo ahead knowing that he’d be necessary to kill the Soul King. Here are the translations for the mid-screens 1: The Almighty Omniscient and Omnipotent The power of Yhwach's holy letter "A". It allows him to see into the entire future, and when activated, multiple pupils appear in his eyeballs. Yhwach considers his eyes, which have manifested their power to be "proof of being a true Quincy", and he can "know" everything he sees, and take and give away the "power" he knows. There is no room for "understanding" or "countermeasures" to intervene. 2: Triplet World The three worlds of the Child and the Paradise of Sand were separated, separating "life" and "death." Three worlds, Soul Society, the present world, and Hueco Mundo, separated from the world of spirits,the vessel and the primordial sea by the existence of the foundation that controls the flow and the wedge of the world. Three worlds of souls everywhere [Reposted]

[@SamTheGumMan117]

I loved that extended battle between Yhwach vs. Ichigo and Yhwach's character explored more with that one sequence plus Soul King Adnyeus name reveal hell yeah but sliced like a frozen vegetable lul

[@egg3228]

Yhwach really said: “See I didn’t kill the King, You did. Why would you do that, that’s so mean” Ichigo: 👁️👁️ 👄

[@Thyme-Lord22]

Basically what Yhwach was talking about in terms of the old realm has to do with a difference of religions. In some Asian religions the Universe was everything and nothing at the same time before the big bang. Everything existed beforehand but it was all one esoteric existence where everything just occurs all at once for eternity. But the universe coming into being as it is today created life, death, pain, suffering, good, evil, happiness, sadness as we know them, gave these concepts form, existence, and power. When our universe was made everything was separated and made distinct, but prior to it people just existed in an esoteric eternity, a much more chaotic universe. Yhwach wants that esoteric more Christian idea of Heaven, because he sees the creation of the current universe as the birth of pain, death, sadness, tragedy, and suffering. And in his mind the floating eternity of existence where everything was nothing was so much better because these sufferings didn't exist. It's very hard to parse and understand but this is how I understand it.

SATURDAY BLEACHEEEEEEEEES

[@sofarsogood8680]

19:03 this question already answered in Can't fear your own world novel, which the continuation story postwar. But without bring up any spoilers, i hope the anime will talk about in later episodes or next cour . Totally agreed , the fight is great but the important thing is they put a lot of depth in the story narrative and character motivation which we can discuss and put up theory on those

[@WarrenGdog28]

Ooo Next Ep was actually Glimpse in the OP

[@destinyanetor7875]

nd people still say is mid I can beat my chest and say is my favourite anime bleach One piece and naruto but bleach will always be first for me❤❤

[@sparknazo]

For the remainder of the cour lets just say that the remaining quincies are about to be akatsuki level resilient lol

[@emad5594]

NO SPOILER: Just added/cut material. The fight between them was extended ALOT. The flash back in the beinging was added. The original fight was very short and basically ywhach bodying ichigo quickly. And the parts of yhwach explaining his intentions to kill the king and destroy the worlds because of the quincys extinctions was added too. And orhime and yorochi parts were added as well. The parts with rukia and renji was added. Same with the parts of senji, soi fon and momo were added. Nothing was cut and alot was rearranged

[@teachcinematicstv2798]

Episode Recap: Josh was Locked in Mehgan was noddin da heeellll out 😂 Ichigo slid on the wrong one... Twice.

[@keithg222]

No spoilers lol but watch the opening again you can kind of get a hint of what’s going to happen

[@deliii395]

I kinda miss your volume 1 manga reviews.

[@Hamzethegoat]

Saturday Bleach’s

[@JackWitt-g9p]

So much new content. I'm so happy.😭 === The Jesus parables with Yhwach just got a lot stronger. Also, heavy implications that Yhwach was created specifically to put his father out of his misery. === Important Ryuken scene. === "If you fear, the only future left for you is death." - Yhwach "Abandon your fear. Look forward. Move forward and never stop. You'll age if you pull back. You'll die if you hesitate." - Old Man Zangetsu === We finally got the Soul King's true name after all these years: Adnyeus (アドナイェウス, Adonayeusu). Kubo promised it in Q&A #493 on "Klub Outside" and he has delivered. Fun Fact: We've heard the name Adnyeus in Bleach before. "Raise them! Silver emblems, ashen meadows, circular path buried in light. Eye of agate, tongue of gold, skull cup, *coffin of Adnyeus.* The object we raise is your heart. Auswählen." Fun Fact 2: Adnyeus likely originates from Adonaios, an Archon from Gnosticism. Alternatively, it can originate from Adonai, one of Seven Names of God in the Abrahamic religions. Another of said names is YHWH. === Ichibe sus as ever. === The thing I love most about the anime adaptation is that we understand Yhwach so much better now. Even the Can't Fear Your Own World light novels didn't do this much. Yhwach is a much more sympathetic villain than he used to be for those who only read the manga. === It's heavily implied in this episode that Aizen could never have broken the seal on the Soul King even if he defeated Squad Zero. He never had Quincy and Human powers even if the Hogyoku could have given him Hollow and Fullbring powers. In fact, I think his god complex would have rebelled at the idea of having to be part Human. === First time we've ever seen real panic in Urahara's face. === The end of the universe begins.

[@OdiBrando]

are op reactions ever coming back?
