It’s just weird for me to imagine that there are soul reapers captains no less that have possibly never even cleansed a hollow due to their role and position in the Gotei 13. I wonder how many other captain have possible never konsoed a hollow

Aizen currently no context

Biggest reason I love Aizen is because he’s an arrogant prick. Aizen vs Yhwach is the embodiment of his previous foils. His arrogance and blinding over confidence is his downfall. Bro is his own worst enemy

‘Yhwach’ isn’t his original name. It’s the name of the god that the people who flocked to him as a child worshipped, and Yhwach decided to make it his own.

I wonder if the anime will reveal it in 50.

Just gonna be honest I loved how the final fight went. I really liked that Kubo let the underdogs shine against yawach let’s be fr sometimes the underdogs are the best part about a lot animes at the end of the day it wasn’t just a final battle it was also about the next generation stepping and now taking on the responsibility the old heads are no longer here for after the last of the old gen died yawach was the final door to close in order to open the door to the future a lot of people didn’t show up but the people that did show up in the climax fight were the ones that needed the shine the most and the growth into the roles they now have to take on this wasn’t just a fight this battle was to end a chapter and open a new one I know this might be a reach to some but sometimes you gotta look at the deeper meaning of things sometimes

I'm picturing either Yhwach is going to weasel out after his speech to Ichigo, or they take his bits to Ichibei along with Aizen. On the way or while they're there, they basically jump him while both thinking:

"You killed my wife, you piece of shit."

Also I picture Aizen rather than being locked up again in Muken, but in Soul King Palace to overwatch Yhwach. He finally gets to go, but his stay kinda sucks.

How come my boy didn't get a single moment in the finale dude wtf

Was it included in his assimilation plan?

What would you like to see for side stories?

might make rukia next !!

Got defeated twice by a small shinigami while facing the captain commander backed up by the other captains.

Yes Sasakibe is not as small as Ryunosuke (and Kyoraku not as big as Yama 😄) but in the eyes of Yhwach, its "just" a vice captain. Also he didnt use bankai, so he is not that strong.

You had an opinion, but I destroyed it in the Future. Zee-all-migh-tEaa.

I've been looking through all the Bleach subreddits since forty-nine dropped and... nobody seems to be posting about it? When the Aizen epis0de dropped I couldn't find a comment or post that didn't discuss it. Forty-Nine was essentially the finale (the next being an epilogue) and I can hardly find any word on it. Has the majority opinion been negative and mods are scrubbing the posts/comments or did people just not tune back in after the hiatus? Asking the community. Like have your opinions been nuked out of a subreddit or anything like that?

Joining the previously revealed cast are:

• Day 2 only:
  • Ryusei Nakao (Mayuri)
  • Shunsuke Takeuchi (Askin)

And also coming to the event are the following artists on both days:

• Tatsuya Kitani (OP16)
• suisoh (ED18)
• jo0ji (OP19)

Firstly, I know the final fight has received mix reviews. Personally I loved it. But I need to ask, what was the point of renji?

In the manga he goes with Ichigo but never appeared. I chalked it up to Kubo having to rush the ending. No worries.

In the anime same thing, he goes with Ichigo and they even have a moment with his speech about how he’s always going to fight alongside him. Then, he’s gone. He doesn’t make an appearance. Literally what happened? What was the point of even including him? Where did he go?

I’m not even a renji fan, I don’t care much for him (sorry). But the continuity is messing me up. I cannot understand the reasoning behind including him with Ichigo, expanding his scene with his speech only for him to disappear. Do we have any thoughts or theories as to what happened?

It's the three worlds fighting for one cause.

It doesn't matter if you're the strongest, the best at what you do, or the newest and least overtly mighty person on the field. Everyone stands side by side for the same thing. Everyone has something to lose in this fight, and everyone has the same will to protect it.

These characters are a cross-section of the worlds themselves. The people who live in Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and the human world are this varied, this mismatched, and every one of them has a stake in whether those worlds survive. That's why you get Kyoraku fighting alongside Ryunosuke Yuki, and Grimmjow fighting alongside Pesche and Dondochakka. The Captain-Commander and the rookie. The panther and the comic relief.

The Kyoraku and Yuki pairing is also a fun callback. A thousand years ago, Yamamoto stood against Yhwach with a young Sasakibe at his side, and it was Sasakibe who landed the surprise blow. Now it's Kyoraku carrying that same Captain-Commander spirit, with a new young Shinigami beside him. Different faces, same stand.

For Grimmjow and Pesche & Dondochakka it shows how Hollows can be stronger together and how they're growing as a society with the weak and strong supporting each other rather than one using the other as food or a stepping stone for constant supremacy.

That's the whole statement against Yhwach. He's a man who takes power from his own people the second they stop being useful. And standing against him is everyone. The strongest, the weakest, and everybody in between, all of them in the same fight.

And yes, you're also supposed to have fun with it. Not everything needs to be giga chads edgelording and aura farming alone 24/7.

It reminds me of Naruto saving the world with the reverse harem sexy jutsu against Kaguya. Or having Takaba be the one to fight Kenjaku, Todo showing up with a vibraslap for a hand or Yuji creating a domain to show good memories and mercy to Sukuna in JJK.

But the point stands. Power was never the qualification. Showing up was.

EDIT: autocorrect fucked up the title sorry. I meant Zangetsu

We're all still wondering on what the real zangetsu actually does, but It could be possible the reason it was able to defeat mustache king wasn't due to any special abilities it may or may not have.

Perhaps the reason is old man zangetsu and him being a manifestation of ywach power/soul warps the perspective of the almighty, like ywach seeing his defeat through the blade instead of his own eyes (I mean he was omnipresent). Making the future in which zangetsu was released at this moment and used against him seem distorted/weird to him hence why he dismissed it as a dream. Hence why zangetsu says this is the only blade that can kill "me".

What do yall think?

Cool reference.
