Bleach: TYBW EP:11

hmm i dont remember them specifically explaining properly in the anime the relationship of the Soul king and the noble family but i may be just forgetting it. u guys may wanna watch a youtube video somewhere in between TYBW or after ur done with cour 4 to prperly learn what was explained only in the novels

Where did she get that shirt!! its nice!!! hmmm?

Looks like nobody mentioned it yet. When we see Aizen, Gin and Tosen watching Isshin fight, they are wearing the same spiritual pressure sealing cloak that Urahara developed and used to intercept Aizen when he tested hollowification on the Visored in the pendulum arc

you guys need to remember the poem at the end of each episode is for the next episode, not the current one. Also in the manga, the reason aizen slashed isshin is because he was going to use bankai and apparently cant use it if injured. Meaning it wouldve been super strong, it also makes sense, since it seems like isshin turns his own blood or injuries into power and fire, and must keep a healthy body for bankai.

Double drop 12-13? 13 is the last episode for cour 1 and also they go together b/c they double drop them for us when it came out.

Fun fact: when Aizen was telling Ichigo that he was a human and.... Isshin interrupts, he was going to say Quincy

And now we get to Everything but the Rain [along with another bit next time] where everything you thought you knew gets turned on its head. Been waiting on this for a WHILE now Also I do this with *everyone* who watches/reads TYBW and gets to this point - go back and look at Kaian from the earlier episodes, the Lt who was under Ukitake.....looking at him all you need to do....is just add orange hair.....

White’s arms had an interesting shape 👀👀

MID EPISODE CARD TRANSLATIONS: Unagiya Ikumi is a general store run by Ikumi, the owner of Unagiya. Because she used her last name as the store name, people often mistake it for an eel restaurant and call with orders. Ikumi is strong-willed and physically strong, and she runs the eel restaurant while raising her son, Kaoru. She has no employees, and her only part-timer is Ichigo. Because Ichigo often skips school, Ikumi sometimes comes to his school to drag him there. However, their relationship is not bad; Ikumi is like an older sister to Ichigo, and she watches over him like a guardian, sometimes strict and sometimes kind. Masaki Kurosaki is Ichigo's biological mother. Kind, cheerful, and big-hearted, she is like the sun, beloved by all family members and the heart of the Kurosaki household. Nine years ago, on June 17th, she lost her life protecting Ichigo from a Hollow named Grand Fisher during a heavy rainstorm. Ichigo felt guilty for taking his mother away from his family and resolved to protect them himself. After becoming a substitute Soul Reaper, he confronted Grand Fisher again but failed to capture him, deepening his guilt. However, a single word from his father, Isshin, made him resolve to live in a way that would not shame Masaki's feelings, who risked her life to protect him. Later, Grand Fisher, who had become an Arrancar, was annihilated by a single sword strike from Isshin. Incidentally, a huge portrait of Masaki that reaches the ceiling is displayed in the Kurosaki family's living room, inscribed with "Masaki Forever," and every year on June 17th, the entire family visits her grave. Masaki continues to live on in the hearts of her family.

Aizen was experimenting, trying to figure out what worked and what didn't. This hollow was just one of those experiments. He's not going to experiment on himself until he can verify the results, and ultimately, he was working towards the Hogyoku. At this point, he only had his own Hogyoku that he had been feeding fragments of souls (like Rangiku's), but he did not yet know the location of Urahara's Hogyoku, which he needed to complete his own.

They all Shiba's. Even Byakuya "Senbonsakura Kageyosh-iba". Everybody in Bleach elite society is related. Alright, maybe not Byakuya. In a Karmic way, it kinda makes sense that Ichigo met Ganju in the Rukon district back at the beginning of OG Bleach. That "Shiba" blood calling out to each other. They even interact with each other just like Ishin does with Ichigo in Karakura Town. Heck, as does Ganju's Sister. That whole family just says hello by trying to drop kick each other in the face. Whoa, hold on a sec. Rukia's first Vice Captain was the elder Ishin shibling to Ganju and his sister, Kaien. She had a crush on that dude. And she keeps seeing Kaien when she sees Ichigo in Shinigami getup. Did I just cook? WTF? Now, I have seen/read this all before, but I honestly have never put together that Ishin's family name was Shiba, nor did I recall that Kaien, Ganju, and the sister all had the last name Shiba. The only "Shiba" I have had in my head since watching this series with ya'll is the "Senbonsakura Kageyosh-iba" meme.

Fünft Feld does not get mentioned again, it's just some sort of special Quincy space they go to train.

I'm with Karlii and think the ending poems are about each other. Masaki's: "You, without sin, are like the sun." Isshini's: "Even with your sins, you are like the sun." The sin both are talking about is almost certainly the destruction of souls that Quincies do.

Anything happens Aizen - "All according to plan"

You guys forgot about Kaien Shiba; "..why do they look alike?" iykyk&nyk ….was prying aswell for the double drop, perhaps we should do a double drop on our knees (or elbows). (Like Ichi&Ren did for Ōetsu Nimaiya.)

Was praying for a double drop of 11+12. Wednesday is so far away. Anyway, remember Aizen has known about Ichigo since his birth. Now we know why.

Last names do goes first in Japan but for whatever reason in Eng subs they do names like we do in America with first name going first so it can be confusing especially when the characters say their names and the subtitles have it reversed.
