BLEACH EPS. 361 & 362 REACTION 🔥

The character development for Yamamoto, man. Went from going after Rukia for breaking that law, now he orders all captains and lieutenants (plus, some volunteers) to commit the same crime because they owe Ichigo a debt. Giriko stood no chance against Kenpachi lol

I loved the PULL UP

Kenpachi the GOAT

Ichigo head tilt after ginjo said his power is nothing to be surprised about than ichigo g checks him lol love that part

lol glad yall enjoying this arc this arc is so slept on it’s criminal

Does anyone know if they are doing a reaction video to all openings after finishing this arc?

[Tidbits] - Loved this episode when it first aired, Ichigo throughout this arc has fallen to the idea that he "needs" his power to protect people, that without power he's nothing...the scene where he breaks the chains is important because it shows that ichigo can be confident in himself even when he has no special powers, ichigo needed to understand that he's always been a protector even before he was a shinigami, hollow or fullbringer. it's a simple lesson, but it's one that many people struggle with...you matter and have importance whether you're special or not. - Ginjo's reaction to Ichigo ability to stand confidently after being betrayed makes more sense when we learn more about what actually happened to Ginjo in the novels (which unfortunately wasn't done in the manga or the anime) - Ginjo isn't just a Human/Fullbringer, he's a hybrid like Ichigo. So what's interesting is that we never get to see what Ginjo's normal Shinigami powers are, we only see his Fullbring or his Merged Fullbring. - Many people Ignore Ginjo seemingly being somewhat caring in light of what he's doing to Ichigo. After he took his powers he didn't let Tsukishima just kill him he said "leave him" and when Tsukishima was using his powers, making Orihime and Chad almost go crazy, Ginjo criticizes him for doing so. Basically it seems that he isn't trying to kill them, rather he simply wanted Ichigo's power. - The anime never explains it as in depth, but Giriko (the one Kenpachi one-shots) is a sick bastard, it's why he was so gleeful about getting Ichigo's powers whereas someone like Riruka seemed against it. But for some context Giriko 1st tested his fullbring when he awakened it by killing his wife..... - Sidenote: There is more to Ichigo's power which likely played a part in why Ginjo couldn't fully take his powers. - Sidenote 2: Ichigo splitting the rain and cutting the clouds out of the sky to show the glowing white crescent moon is symbolically amazing. this is even cooler when you recall the "Getsuga Tensho" means "Moon-Fang Heaven Piercer". -Sidenote 3: The fullbrings are more dangerous than you might think. While they may not be directly as capable as high tier Captain, there abilities can be terrifying, there kinda like hax. (Some of them) when used right can be devastating [Reposted]

i cant stress how excited i am for you guys to get into the Thousand Year Blood War Arc! we had to wait 10 years for it and im telling you it was totally worth the wait, but you will be smoothly transitioning straight into it and i cant wait!

Not going to lie I didn't like this arc but watching it again with you guys, it's not so bad. The middle was "training" part must have turned me off but the last few episodes have been good

Bleach stopped airing for a decade with no promise of a return. For those who don't read the manga like myself, the Aizen arc felt like a good place to end the series. Thankfully we have TYBW now so there's no reason to skip Fullbring

32:54 In case you don't know, in the manga, Orihime's parents were HORRIBLE. Both of them were alcoholics who physically abused her and her brother, and her mother was also a prostitute. Her brother protected her and ensured her safety. It got so bad at one point that her brother (Sora, who had just turned 18 years old) eventually decided that he had to take Orihime (who was 3 years old at the time) and leave in search of a better life. Sora raised Orihime all on his own for 9 years, and they found solace/comfort in each other. When Orihime was in middle school, Sora died in a car accident, their last interaction before he died being an argument over her snowflake hairpins (she didn’t want to wear them and called them childish, also told Sora that she hates him), which is why she wears them all the time now. After the car accident, 12 year old Orihime had to carry her brother's bloody corpse (her only real parental figure btw) to the Kurosaki Clinic on her own. She was left to deal with the immense and overwhelming grief all on her own; she rarely cried, though, because her parents used to beat her for it. Later on, she started making friends and forming connections outside of her brother, like Tatsuki, then her other friends from her friend group, then Ichigo, Sado, Uryū, etc etc. From then on, her life has gotten better and better (then the Sora turning into a hollow thing happened, but that was a good thing since she got closure, they got to say what they wanted to say to each other and she broke his curse). Even after all of this, she's still as vibrant, happy, and kind as she is. This is only her family-related backstory and trauma btw, she went through other stuff as well. The anime made her character seem so “dull” or “flat” IMO. Some people (anime-onlys) even find her annoying. There are more interesting and deeper things about her character and her relationship with Ichigo that I won’t go into right now. They removed a lot of (or pretty much all) scenes that are very important to her character, some being the things this comment is about, then scenes showing off her deep empathy and how smart she is, her being bullied, etc. Sorry for the long comment and tens of edits. I hope it’s somewhat readable

Me as a foreigner: she red the manga. Me: 🫨 Ron: noo, that was sarcasm, she never red the manga. Me: so, is it sarcasm that she never red it?? 🤔 🤣

And people are actually out there skipping and shitting on this arc. That's the most shocking thing. I guess many people just don't like good writing, smh. It's easily a top 3 arc of Bleach, and extremely underrated. Episode 361 is also one of the best episodes in all of Bleach imo, everything about it was perfect.

Yoo that old man was creepier than I remember 🤣 the match ups lets gooo🔥🔥

those who skip this arc and are not all about this arc are complete dumb dumbs that's just a fact. this is one of the best arcs of the show and is canon and is integral to the story hence it being canon also integral to Ichigo's growth as a character

We got the fullbringers for a warm up.

I think a lot of the dislike for the Fullbring arc comes from how people experienced it back when it aired. The series went from the peak of the Aizen fight into a long stretch (almost a year) of filler, only to come back with a powerless Ichigo getting involved with completely new characters and weird abilities - and no beloved Soul Reapers. At least, that’s how it felt to me as a teen 🙈 I used to skip the arc entirely on rewatches. Only years later did I give it another chance and realised how good it actually is 😍 Younger me was a dumbdumb and didn't appreciate the different mystery thriller take on the series 😅 *hides in the box of shame* Btw, you didn’t notice the badge on Rukia’s arm 😉

I don't know why anyone would even consider skipping this arc back then because it was literally all we had left for sooooo long must of been new bleach fans who skipped this arc just to get to TYBW. My personal opinion I think they did this arc really well I thought it was cool something different/Fresh

Yeah for this discord bleach discussion can we PLEASE get Ron to say getsuga tensho correctly its no way we nearly at TYBW and he still cant say it 💀😂

Lmaoo na hitsugaya sounds the same n he didnt get taller. His hair just a lil different and he got the scarf

gonna be straight up with you. Ichigo power prob wouldn't increase or be better even if he got his fullbring back. It's just weaker version of Soul Reaper powers.

At least yall get to go straight into TYBW we had to wait 10 YEARS 😭. Im so excited for yall!!!!!

Agree with a few who mentioned it here already. I appreciate hell out of that bar. I don't generally skip any of the small talk, fwiw, but it's nice to have a gauge of how long it's going to go on.

You guys are the reason I have a patreon.. I also subbed way back PRAYING that you would do Bleach and eventually TYBW.. you have no idea what peak is coming. I am so hyped.

Quad drop and start tybw monday xD

The change to the intro looks amazing. With the bar at the bottom too :p

the closer tybw gets the harder it is to wait :_(. They think they know what peak bleach is yet. We endured for over a decade, was worth it.

i mean I would NEVER skip a canon arc. but you can watch the next arc without watching this one technically. The only thing I would say you are missing is Ichigo randomly having his power back. I do think Ichigo development here is subtly shown through TYBW. But you can't skip Aizen/Soul Society. Those arcs are literally unskippable for Bleach. So in that sense, yes and no. yes, that arc is less important to TYBW than the others. but you miss subtle ichigo development, so no at the same time?

11:45 ichiGOAT 😭🥀🥀 40:59 back in the day people searched on YouTube "waste of time" and they got kenpachi vs giriko as first result 😂😂

What a long road it has been. TYBW next week. Very hype. Even still, I loved this arc.

the emotional breakdown of ichigo followed by the pull up of the century made me cry the first time i saw it ngl

NEXT! NEXT! NEXT! NEEEEEEEXT!!! 🤣🤣 So damn good

Did ron said if bleach is in his top 3 anime?

Next Wednesday April 1st is TYBW!!!!🤩🤩🤩🤩

where’s Gachiakuta?

Bleach is awesome. Tite Kubo is honestly a legend imo. Looking forward to your next reaction!

cant wait for TYBW episodes 9 and 10 lol

Hydrogen Bomb vs Coughing Baby scenario

😁😁😁😁😁

The loyalty of the soul society came within those fillers lowkey highkey ichigo was really out there working plus the aizen victory

The trailer for TYBW pretty hype, not sure if yall be doing a little reaction to it before starting TYBW.

Ron's comment about Ichigo being able to see Rukia - Ichigo was always able to see spirits even before he got his powers from Rukia (also was able to see Rukia herself) so its not surprising he was able to see her once she stabbed him

Squad pulled up. 🔥 Kenpachi and everyone else looks so fire, love the new designs. Agree with Ron, the scene with Ichigo crying reminded me a lot of Luffy. It's hard seeing Ichigo at his lowest after losing everything. Also this arc absolutely should not be skipped its 100% canon whoever skips this would miss crucial character development for Ichigo, how he regained his power etc

I remember crying on this episode I can’t lie .. first time I saw ichigo hopeless

Ichigo splitting the clouds in the sky is a reference to the literal meaning of his Bankai - “getsuga tensho” means “moon-fang heaven-piercer”

question for bleach knowers: is there a reason Urahara waited 2 years to make ichigo a sword specifically to rejuvenate his soul reaper powers, when the main emphasis of his final getsuga tenshou was that ichigo was going to slowly (and permanently) lose his soul reaper connection?

The interesting thing I find about Kenpachi is that he actually is a lot nicer and merciful than he looks. When you look back at his fight against Nnoitra in the Arrancar Arc, when Kenpachi won the fight, he was willing to spare his actual enemy. He only killed him cause Nnoitra wanted to die in battle but when you see him against the old man, he killed him without second thought. I'd like to think this is because they were messing with Ichigo that Kenpachi took it personal and didn't show the mercy he did with Nnoitra.

Rukia Your new lieutenant of squad 13 (she has the badge on her arm to prove it)

Honestly this is probably my biggest gripe with Bleach. I just wish there was more sacrifice/hardship than everyone just putting their spiritual pressure into a sword. It was too easy and feels like it undermines the whole sacrifice that was made and all the work he put into his new power.

If you want Kenpachi tattoo, wait until the end of TYBW.

2 more weeks guys! then its TYBW... HOLY. Also, Ron wait until TYBW for you to choose a Kenny tat :) trust me.

So goooood

Thats why Kenpachi the 🐐, neg diff split him🤣🤣

Giriko vs kenpachi best paced fight in bleach just joking

This is my favorite episode of the arc, personally

Getsuga TENSHOOOO!!!

Yokoso
