Yeah, these 3 episodes are a roller coaster of emotions (Flexie knows lol). We feel hope, fear, despair, hype, and so many more emotions, and not necessarily in that order! We got to see Yamamoto's awesome bankai, only for his victory to be over a false Juha Bach. Then, he gets taken out by the real Juha Bach after getting his bankai stolen by him. He gave his life for Soul Society. The "death" scene with Byakuya is so sad (I knew it was a fake scene as I read the manga from the Fullbring arc onward), and they animated it so well 😢 Then Ichigo gets defeated easily while finding out that he doesn't really know anything about his family. His bankai even breaks, just like our hearts did upon first viewing 😢

I love so much how you are so involved in my most favorite show of all time. I think I watched all tybw seasons for the 4th time now and just knowing how good those new episodes are makes me so hyped to see you reacting on it. As much as I love JJK, my hero, attack on titan and so on for me tybw animations are so unbelievable good

LuvStarburst · May 14, 2026

Well I hope you guys caught the reason why the squad one's vice captain died first for the signal of the war to start. It was payback for being stabbed 1000 years ago by him since he was hiding under the dead bodies. I'm so glad I set some money aside to resub to watch your guy's reaction to this anime cause man that last line in the last episode has me laughing. I'm binging as much as i can this morning with your reactions.

Geno Bell · May 9, 2026

As someone who followed Bleach since it first aired and read the Manga after the first series ended, this tybw is BEYOND my expectations. This episode alone had majority new scenes that wasnt previously shown in the manga, so it was all mind blowing. Nothing Can Be Explained remix was PEAK, easily my favorite episodes of the series.

Ashton Patterson · April 15, 2026

The imposter Quincy King was able to copy 80% of his power and 100% of his memories. And the imposter Kenpachi was able to copy 100% of his power and 80% of his memories. According to Kubo. So Yamamoto still would’ve easily wiped him out again regardless. That’s why he needed the distraction.

W
Weyard Wiz · April 13, 2026

10:40 HOPELESS! 11:25 *kenpachi shows up* Ron: :( -> :D "I cant deal with the drastic emotions from sad to hype!" xD kenpachi carrying those 3 sternritters while everyone else was struggling was LIT! 23:01 "OMG i thought it just started?!" time flies by while watching TYPEAKW!!! 46:55, 1:12:58 AIZEN!!!! The way Ron laughed hysterically 😂 51:20, 1:05:10 AOT feelings 1:07:20 ICHIGOAT!!!! 1:17:10 "What if the mom was a soul reaper and had a romance with the quicy king??!!" heheh love the theories! ;)

Oak · April 13, 2026

I started watching Bleach back when the OG series was still running and really enjoyed the Soul Society arc. And kinda like what you said in this or the previous video, it drops off a bit somewhere in the middle because of the pacing, which of course couldn't be helped. Not only that, I don't think I actually knew the concept of fillers back then, so I probably watched them and eventually dropped this sometime after Soul Society. But I've watched it through this time on your channel, and it's pretty amazing being able to watch a "Big 3" anime with modern animation and no filler or drawn out segments. That definitely adds to the excitement and experience.

M
Mando23 · April 13, 2026

Judging by my avatar I obviously love bleach and it’s one of my all time favs swinging between 2-3. One thing I will point out about the show as to why I can’t put it at one is because the show doesn’t hit me emotionally like other shonen. But when it comes to cool characters, creative powers, animation. It’s number one.

SomchineVang · April 12, 2026

Bro this is so PEAK!!!!!

Chase023 · April 12, 2026

Great genuine reaction to all the chaos and info dump. Hard to keep track of everything I am sure. Whats funny is that sometimes you guys take things so literally when you shouldn't, and sometimes you guys don't when you should. Still shows u need to watch more Anime and understand the nuances and things a little further. You guys don't want to be spoiled but then spoil urselfs with too much speculation at times. Haha.. LOL.. anyways, originally I stopped watching bleach reactions and was waiting until TYBW! Hope to see more TYBW!

T
Tacosareneat · April 12, 2026

Wait why do they think ywach has been dead in hell?

W
Weyard Wiz · April 12, 2026

Lol they've been theorizing hell might be in the future story before tybw started and its just been stuck on their minds lol

J
Jasper Tan · April 12, 2026

A week after Bleach they started TYBW, I like how Michelle keeps thinking from the POV for those that waited years. I was in my school uniform when I started watching Bleach. 😂😂😂 Subbed back in time for these epic reactions!

did ichigo seriously get packed up that easily again

W
Weyard Wiz · April 11, 2026

Ywach assigned ichigo his schrift: "L" ...lol though on a more serious note...if yamamoto AND kenpachi got packed up, how do you expect ichigo not to be packed up by the literal QUINCY KING of 1000 years older? lol

D
David S. · April 11, 2026

This is good ass anime don’t get me wrong when it came out I was geeking but current JJK even blows this away which is crazy

W
Weyard Wiz · April 11, 2026

JJK S3 ep4 (maki vs zenin) was terribly directed in the anime, even higurama vs yuji episode was much better directed. Don't get me wrong the animation and sakuga was fantastic but the transitions and ost were horrible. Also nobody even felt sad for mai. They didnt even show her before we see her laying on the ground. BLEACH TYBW Ep6 and 7 were far better produced than some jjk episodes.

U
Uğurcan · April 10, 2026

A little information for you guys; when Ichigo first entered the soul society in tybw ep7. all of the sternritters say "his spiritual pressure disappeared" Its because he subcontiously used sonido instead of flash step. When he became full hollow in the ulquiorra fight he used it so he can use it now as well.

A
Ananth Varma · April 10, 2026

the soul reaper perspective is that quincies are exterminating the hollows. from quincy perspective they're defending themselves and their neighborhoods. to them, just relying on soul reapers is an option that causes more human deaths than them also intervening. so that is the angle of justice from their side

1:24:50 "Could you imagine when this was airing what the reactions were live, the Reddits, ..." yes Ron, when Bleach TYBW ep1 aired, it was #1 trending worldwide, 400k+ tweets/posts, even vizmedia posted it. And when kubo dropped og gotei13 poster all manga readers were SHOCKED that so many theory videos spawned even though the manga had ended 10 years prior, so you would think theres no more theories needed...and yet kubo just unveiled something that was never in the manga...it was an amazing time! To give you an example, in ep7 you guys watch og gotei13 flashback at the beginning, this was anime exclusive and it shocked us manga readers!

idkwhy · April 9, 2026

— An interesting fact for Michelle and Ron — As I can see, no one highlighted the info about fake Yhwach, who fought Yamamoto, and a person who copied Kenpachi and fought him. The one who fought Kenpachi was Loyd Lloyd. The one who fought Yamamoto while impersonating Yhwach was Royd Lloyd. A lot of people miss that they are not one character — they are two twin brothers. Both are Sternritter “Y” — The Yourself, but their abilities are different: • Loyd Lloyd copies a target’s appearance and powers, but not their personality or memories. • Royd Lloyd copies a target’s appearance, personality, and memories, but not their actual power. That’s why they confuse so many people: same face, almost identical names, same Schrift — but they are clearly meant to be two separate brothers with mirrored abilities.

I fully understand how she feels this is like AoT despair. Even the plot twists and mystery and hype and excitement...I have also missed this feeling in anime for a long time, with last being AoT when it last aired 4 years ago. Also the last time I was truly excited for week to week show was solo leveling last year and blue lock while waiting for TYBW finale this July 😭🔥

Sammy · April 9, 2026

These episodes are perfection 🤌 'Born in the Dark' is easily my fav episode 🧎‍♀️🔥 The voice acting for Äs Nödt (the guy Byakuya fought) is INSANE. Like actually one of the creepiest performances I’ve ever heard. I’m getting chills every time he speaks 🤩 Yamamoto the GOAT 🐐🔥 Now you see why he always pulled up as a last resort. Man going full power was basically risking worlds getting destroyed 😲 Zanka no Tachi South... That move broke me 💀💀💀🔥 When the dead started rising my jaw just dropped even further 😱 Also, there’s actually a hint that Yamamoto fought an imposter… When “Yhwach” was walking through the corpses of his comrades, he showed sadness. The real one wouldn’t care like that. I went from crying at Byakuya’s speech to instantly getting hyped when Ichigo pulled up ready to throw hands. That moment goes HARD. Absolute peak 🙌 Aizen just hanging there aura-farming on the cross and trolling is such a mood 🤣💜 You’ll get the full story later but yeah… that’s basically why Ichigo is special. Dude got it all 😎 Btw yes, the design of the old guy in JJK got influenced by Yamamoto. Good for you to take a lil break. Too much peakness at once is draining 🤗

E
Emil Kolev · April 9, 2026

D
DRoger · April 9, 2026

I get the AoT feeling that Michelle is talking about from the anime's style vs Ron feeling Marineford's hype as an arc. I think Ron is saying TYBW reached the hype and seriousness of Marineford arc, and Michelle is saying TYBW gives the same explicit/unapologetic violence of AoT. Both are right to me 😎

Masked Void · April 9, 2026

[Tidbits] - Sidenote: Yhwach name and pronunciation is done as a nod to the way God is said in Hebrew. It's Spelled "YHWH" and pronounced as "Yahweh" - Head Captain Yamamoto lost his arm against Aizen when he grabbed his leg and exploded it using Hado 96. - This episode did an amazing job of Humanizing the Head Captain in the worst of ways. In the initial parts of Bleach, the Head Captain was this symbol of power and order, someone who sat above emotion and merely enforced the law. Here Yamamoto uses his power to be petty, vengeful, and intentionally cruel...it's not about maintaining law or order this time, which makes his sorrowed face at the end particularly sad, he's lost the two things that's made him "him" for the past 2000 years...He's lost Control and he's lost Power and couldn't even avenge those who were killed because of his failure all those years ago. - Many paid attention to the animation in this episode, but the best part for me was the character breakdown of Yama and how well Ywach uses mental tactics to win instead of sheer power. Ywach had Yama's squad and lieutenant killed first, this ultimately turned Yama into a rage monster fighting for revenge - In this arc, Kubo specifically targets the characters he's set up as pillars of comfort, Byakuya, Kenpachi, and Yamamoto... When Kenpachi or Byakuya arrived in Hueco Mundo or in the Fullbring arc we the readers often feel a sense of relief, Even in the Soul Society arc they were ultimately used in a similar fashion, so here Kubo takes our safety net away, Byakuya is the 1st Captain to fall, Kenpachi the Second, and Yama' the Strongest Shinigami for the last 2000 years is broken down and taken out. - It's also pretty messed up that Yama apparently doesn't let those he's slain pass over, he instead stashes it for his undead army. This visualization is important, The leader of the "good guys" has undead souls and creates a firey, hell-like battlefield whereas the "bad guys" have angelic wings, blue energy and church bells ring. - In chapter 387 (or during the battle between Komamura and Tosen in the anime) we get a quick Kubo Volume Poem which is about Yamamoto, it goes: "Do not live bowing down. Die standing up." This was obviously a setup for what Kubo would do much later in the TYBW arc. - Ichigo's spiritual energy disappearing when he moved is meant to express that he used the Arrancar movement technique called Sonido. Sonido doesn't exert rieatsu when used. - Some argue that the Shinigami seem too weak, it's less so that they are weak and more so that they were unprepared. For hundreds of years they've hand no real enemies to fight aside from basic hollows. They Quincy are a Military Force with equal might and in this case they've been waiting and preparing the entire time.

J
Joao Pucci · April 9, 2026

People notice the animation a lot. But I think what makes the difference is direction. Everything has so much care. Composition, soundtrack, callbacks, title drops, cuts. It creates an overall style/aesthetic. Even if newer anime have better animation, this still stands because it is a good piece of art well put together.

Indifferent Denji · April 9, 2026

I like the colors and effects animation of tybw but i just find jjks animation more dynamic. No offense to bleach but alot of it is just a bunch of standing around talking and then doing some cool sword shi. With an anime like jjk you get alot more variety in the action. But i wil die on the hill that jjk has better character animation mappa is amazing at facial expressions and capturing emotion in movement, the hakari scene with yuji is a great example.

Honestly, it was really hard to choose which show is more enjoyable to watch and more connected between One Piece and Bleach, especially after Bleach’s Thousand-Year Blood War arc. Still, even after catching up to the latest episodes of both, I think One Piece is still on top for now. I’ll probably make my final decision after watching the last arc of Bleach that’s coming out.

Castiel_01x · April 9, 2026

Yamamoto vs fake Yhwach had everything. I love it so much. Choreography (close-quarter combat isn't choreography, it's just a part of it), themes, animation, and so on. It was a high-priority episode when Cour 1 came out, so you can see the effort that went into it. While Quincies are depicted as Nazis on a presentation level, the actual Nazis are Soul Society, as they are the ones who committed genocide. Michelle was right about how Yamamoto was presented as a "bad guy". The conversation between Aizen and Yhwach confirms that Aizen was aware of the Quincy King. That explains why Aizen made his move there and then, as he would have to deal with the Quincies if it were later than that point. You can feel the pure hatred Yamamoto and Yhwach had for each other through their words. Yama threw anything and everything at fake Yhwach due to his hatred, which clouded his judgement as there were hints of impersonation which he could have picked up on. Yama went as low as he could as he wanted to erase Yhwach and leave no traces of his blood, bones, flesh and even his sword. Yhwach played him as he knew how Yama would react upon feeling loss and gave him the most pitiful death so far in Bleach. And Yama realised he had been played at the end as he accepted his death. Yhwach killed Yama without even using his actual sword. As to Yhwach, Yama isn't even a threat (further goes in line with Yama not making it into the five Special Threats), so killing him with an arrow-esque sword makes sense. That's why I don't think Yhwach will use Yama's Bankai, as it would only acknowledge Yama's power. There was a poem in the OG Bleach material on Yamamoto. It said, "Do not live bowing down, die standing up", and that's exactly how he died, which is a really cool fact. Ichigo was using Pesquisa at 59:38, and Sonido at 01:00:59. These are hollow techniques, further showcasing how he accepted that side of himself, unlike what he was taught during the Vizard training. I love the parallel here between Ichigo and Yamamoto. Byakuya is to Ichigo what Sasakibe was to Yama, and both ended up losing in one way or another. The Ichigo being a Quincy reveal was hinted at as early as the first arc. One hint is how Ichigo's bedsheets in the anime had a Quincy symbol. Another hint is when Urahara explained the lore about Quincies, he used these words: "People with powers like Ichigo's" when Rukia asked him about who Quincies were. That's a very blatant exposition that went over our heads.

Don't dare Ron ever make your hair like Aizen, he would murder you for those words. Bow to the system ? Let hollows be because they are part of the cycle ? Aizen would never accept this. The cycle must be torn apart, the system is what needs to change if evil has to be part of it.

T

Now THISSSS is a very real, raw Rice and Ginger Reaction. Imagine waiting so many years for this and then a few eps in you see these characters literally just die. TYBW is different, guys. Lock in

C
Carlgamii · April 9, 2026

There is some variance on how you feel about watching it vs how someone who read the manga watched it because for us we are in like a feeling of disbelief and proud because we were hardcore fans to the end and the anime finally got an adaptation for its final arc; and like Ron says the appreciation is better from you guys, but we are definitely reliving the same experience again and I am so excited for your future reactions as well! And yes, it does get better!!!

271katbest · April 9, 2026

Hitler was responsible for millions of deaths but he did think he was doing the right thing for his people. The Bolshevik revolution was responsible for the brutal deaths of the Tsar Nicholas II and his children. Hitler saw Communism/ Bolshevism as a long term threat to Germany if left unchecked. As he predicted, the USSR was a nuclear enemy to the U.S during the Cold War and 30 million people died under communist China. History is interesting if you don’t let your bias get in the way. Also Japan doesn’t see Nazi Germany as the ultimate evil like the West does. So they’re more likely to humanize Nazi like characters or make them likable, for example Von Strohiem from Jojo or Schrodinger from Hellsing.

Alex · April 9, 2026

I did not say yuhabaha was incorrect. I said there's no point to using Japanese approximations (when speaking in English), so you can just say it with the German pronunciation. Also, to literally quote you from a couple comments ago: "I’m stalking about the GERMANIZED Hebrew name used the in the anime: Yhwach. You-ha-ba-ha." You yourself recognized the German origins of the spelling. And now you're saying it's not meant to be German. Which is it? You don't know anything about katakana, which is the writing system used to represent BORROWED words and names in Japanese as best approximated using Japanese sounds. Also not wrong about Chad either, the Japanese don't have the English version of ch, kind of like how they don't have L or R. It's their own sound. If you think you're hearing a pure CH sound I'm sorry to say you're just wrong. Again I don't understand how someone can recognize and acknowledge their lack of knowledge on a topic/language and still try to argue like they know what they're talking about. The katakana for ch is pronounced t-sha, with the sound being formed very quickly. It's not cha like you hear in English.

J
Jnasty · April 9, 2026

"Nah that's like saying the proper way to refer to Chad is Tsado... The name is meant to be German, which would make it sound close to yuhavok." This is what you said in reply to me stating his name is you-ha-ba-ha. So why even try and contradict me if you agree his name is you-ha-ba-ha? Why are you being a dickhead? Also, you didnt reply to me, you just replied to the entire forum.

Genuinely, with how much they have talked about disliking some of hueco mundo arc pacings etc a few times. While One Piece is great, I am pretty sure One Piece is gonna drop down their list with the anime pacing, seeing as they are now entering the arcs where the pacing gets pretty horrendous too.

Sarita · April 9, 2026

As an OG bleach watcher, I actually dropped the anime before the fullbringer arc or right at the beginning because of filler after the Aizen stuff. When it was running in real time (and I didn't really read manga at the time, it was harder to find stuff) it was hard to determine what was canon and what was filler. Sad, bc I loved bleach. Then I picked up TYBW last year and the first 10 episodes left me absolutely FLABBERGASTED. I decided I actually needed to rewatch the anime bc I had forgotten so much, and then decided to do my rewatch with your reactions! So now I'm kinda watching TYBW in real time with y'all tho I did stop a little further than where you are now haha

The fact that there is like 3 different ways to say Yhwach's name actually connects to Yahweh(God of Abrahamic religions-Islam/Judaism/Christianity) and how his name's original spelling was actually YHWH and in legend the pronunciation of his name was hidden or E𝖱̶𝖠̶S̶𝖤̶D̶ bc just saying it holds power! You might recognize some interpretations: Yahweh/Jahweh/Jahovah. Super cool lore!!!

Ichigo has so much respect for byakuya the moment he got to soul society he went straight to byakuya. Reading that for the first time hit different it hit even more different when it was aired and was animated. The rain evaporating around ichigo when he pissed off lives in my head rent free.

Ultimate Winner · April 9, 2026

Aizen is so cool. Def my favorite. My favorite goes in this order: Aizen, Shunsui, Gin Ichimaru, Yamamoto, and maybe lets throw mayuri. Hmm, I dont think reactions complication really says much unless you just don't think about the show after it ends. For me, some shows grow better over time. Like I miss something subtle like themes, character development, or signifnance to specifc action or thought. Or maybe a show didn't resonance much when i first watched now it does. Some shows I really love now that I didn't like too much was HxH, AoT. Frieren, Haikyuu, One Piece, and Bleach. Those 5 show when I finished were not ranked top 10 for me. One Piece i watched up to Alabasta and thought it was trash. Rewatched i2 yrs later and its in my top 5. AoT/Frieren top 5 now. Bleach top 10 now. HxH I loved but after rewatching it, i notice stuff like Gon's development which is so subtle. HxH is my no1. Recently doing some sport with my bro, badminton, gave me of a connections to sports. So Haikyuu jumped. Little piece of AoT. I didn't like S4, I grown to like it way more. but I let that really made me think s1-3 is not good as I remembered. Rewatched it, shit bro. S1-3 is so fucking good. Ending/Final Season isnt my favorite. but man s1-3 was on a generational run.

Remixed version of Raw breath of danger ost 37:30 🔥 What made the episode even more legendary we see my goat Aizen again, my favorite villain of all time, that gave me chills. What got me heated is that Yama did all this work on someone who wasn't even Yhwach. RIP Yamamoto. Yhwach's name is pronounced "You ha ba ha" but you can say "You ha" for short.

U
Ultimate Winner · April 9, 2026

my personal ranking is dependent on series or anime. how good it is Anime-wise: Bleach, Naruto, One Piece How much I love it: One Piece, Bleach, Naruto Since michelle brought it up. IMO S1 is my favorite, followed by S3 then S2. S1 def has nostalga bias. but I also think the suddenness of the war, the pacing, animation put it number 1.

K
Kayso · April 9, 2026

As Nodt's VA is so dope. Love the monotone yet badass tone of it. Seeing Byakuya so shook like this is crazy cuz we're so used to him cool calm and collected under pressure. Imagine getting bodied by your own power. Hurt watching that since he one of my favorites. Kenpachi took one of those Quincy's throats out on some Killua sh*t lol. Ichigo vs Yhwach was a whole movie. Crazy how Michelle brought up AOT because TYBW definitely has AOT vibes.

For clarification, the "memory" reawakening in Ichigo was more along the lines of genetic memory-how DNA carries built in memory, like how certain animals naturally know to do things without being taught(like Spiders weaving their webs, Birds building nests, or Birds/Butterfly migrating). The Quincy energy from Ichigo non-stop clashing with the "Jail" awakened the dormant Quincy abilities.

Then the time right before Nel transformed to save Ichigo. Also his transformation with his final fight with Aizen etc

No guys no,u misunderstand Yhwach emotion its not humanity or whatever positive emotion.It more like regret and guilt,his character depict as someone who use his subordinates as shield and kills them nonchalantly (remember when he introduced?he beheaded one his casually). So in Zanka no Tachi South he thought Old man yama brought up anyone who died by his sword (including hollow/human/soul reaper/quincy),BUT on this particular case Old man yama is using Yhwach own subordinates that died "betray" by him (used by him as shield 1000 years ago Old man Yama mentioned this when he say "u havent change 1000 years ago,still using/killing your own subordinates"). HE IS EVIL NO DOUBT

U
Ultimate Winner · April 9, 2026

I completely disagree that its 100% fair to exterminate a whole race based on that thinking. Here is why? I feel like Ron's is justifying Quincy's extermination because he likes soul reapers. But imo Quincy view on hollow is exactly the same as soul reaper had for quincy. So like yes, its technically unfair for quincy to kill hollows cause they cannot be purified. But like the world is survival of the fittest. If soul reaper cannot do their job fast enough, then quincy doing it themselves is not inherently wrong at all. We know Soul Society is corrupt and has procedure. Hollow could easily kill a lot of human before soul society can save them. Not saying SS is bad or quincy is in the right. its supposed to be gray. It sounds like Soul Society was against the notion that Quincy can fight at all, since they killed every surviving quincy. To me, signal that they don't care if you are good/bad quincy at all. Which is same thinking Quincy has about hollows. Only argument is Soul Society tried to talk to Quincies. Not saying Yhwach isnt evil. he def is. but like you can't say because of 1 bad guy, means whole race is.

U
Ultimate Winner · April 9, 2026

I understand. But they chose to seemingly eliminates any quincies. Not just Quincy apart of the army. We dont know what happens between 1000 yrs and 200 yrs (800 yr). They beat the army 1000 yrs ago. If specific group of them were killing, then kill them. Choosing to kill a whole race is morally wrong. That why war happens. History written by the winners, SR will always like the heroes. If eliminating the whole race was supposed to end all conflicts, it failed miserably due to incompetence from Soul Society.

Guys this was such a dope experience re-watching it with you. I absolutely cannot wait for the other triple drops - TYBW is Kubo at his peak !!! Some of the vocab for this arc : Schatten Bereich is the Quincies base of operation Stern Ritter are the Quincies who were given a letter by the Majesty, they are the strongest ones YHWACH is the Majesty's name, most of the fanbase call him Yuha for short. The name is in reference to God's name in the Bible, which matches with the Quincy's themes as well (angel wings etc...)

That wasnt Kubos fault though...it was the studio and their horrible management ontop of rushing and not allowing Kubo to input much...it also didnt help Kubo ran into health issues toward the end.

I really try not to compare the Big 3 to each other because it always feels like an unnecessary debate that ends up dividing the three large fan bases. As a fan of all three, they all do something unique, different, and cool for the anime community and I’m just glad to be able to watch all 3.

The name Yhwach (pronounced Yu-ha-ba-ha) is a reference to the hebrew name YHWH (Yahweh), meaning "I am".

When he says son he doesnt mean it literally. how can ichigo be his son if hes been gone for a thousand years. Everyone under him is a son or daughter. He's basically seen as the first quincy thats my interpretation of him.

Memories in his quincy dna is what he was saying i believe and it would be wierd for her to be brought up directly to ichigo when ywach addressed ichigos quincy powers and she not be a quincy also ichigos siblings they exist.

why does yhwach sound like yu-ha-ba-ha lol

A
Alex · April 9, 2026

It's meant to be a German sounding name pronounced like yuhavok, but there's no V in Japanese and no phlegmy ch at the end of a word in Japanese. So it gets changed in Japanese pronunciation, the V becomes a b and the ch a ha. It's the same with many western based names in anime, like Chad; listen to the way Ichigo says it, he says Tsado, not Chad. Japanese speakers often add extra vowels in words that have syllables ending in consonants other than N. For whatever reason, the dub just copied the original Japanese va. I remember this same discussion from a decade ago before we got the anime, when everyone was breaking down the name origins and why it was changed from directly copying the Hebrew name for God YHWH to be German sounding. The Japanese use of B in it really indicates it was meant to be a V like in German and not a W sound like in the Hebrew name, that and the addition of an extra syllable at the end indicates the CH was meant to be a hard consonant in the romanticized spelling. In the end it doesn't matter which you use, yuhabaha just sounds weird to get out of your mouth, like deciding to say Makudonarudo instead of McDonald's.

Jnasty · April 9, 2026

I would just like to point out that after Ichigo kills Shaz Domino and sees the destruction caused by the Sterritter, he instinctively uses Sonido to teleport to Byakuya as quickly as possible. IDK if it's because Sonido is faster than Flash step or because his emotions took over his instincts, or a combination of the two. But I love that little detail in the sound design.

I think unless one consumes a lot of media(such as medieval fantasy) where that gets used you aren’t going to know about it being used like that.

The soul reapers aren’t the benevolent God figures we like to think frr lmao and yes quinces have German call backs and influence but they aren’t just “Hitler” lmao. Just two diff sides going to war just like real life each their own justice . I’m so genuinely confused of the natural hatred toward the quinces for fighting back lmao

A
Alex · April 9, 2026

You can just call him yuhavok. The Japanese pronunciation is weird because they don't have the v sound or the ch hard stop at the end of a syllable. Dunno why everyone insists on the Japanese pronunciation yuhabaha, no one refers to Chad as Tsado.

B
Brandon Holmes · April 9, 2026

I can agree to that the experience could be better b/c you guys are going in right away instead of 10 years. I Had to do a sort of re-tell of the story a bit before TYBW started b/c its been soo long.

J
Jnasty · April 9, 2026

I feel like one of the main reasons Yhwach isn’t as well-known as Aizen is that his name is so hard to pronounce 😂. The proper way is You-Ha-Ba-Ha. Personally, I just say You-Ha. When I first heard/read the name, I thought it was You-Watch lol Wandenreich= Van-Den-Rike

A
Alex · April 9, 2026

Nah that's like saying the proper way to refer to Chad is Tsado. Japanese doesn't have a v or the hard ch stop at the end of a syllable so the v sound becomes a b and the ch a ha. It's similar to how they pronounce McDonald's, things get changed to make sense to their sensibilities. The name is meant to be German, which would make it sound close to yuhavok

Yamamoto was slept on bcuz of how he fought aizen …. He coulda did way better

Tiya Delih · April 9, 2026

this is teasipping delicous triple drop :blessed: <3 while i agree with both of your views, since i kinda grew up and still do with bleach, i think the 10 years the fans spent re-reading, rewatching, retheorising, hoping and being very underlooked and undermined from the others, kinda made their pride and enjoyment insanely way bigger watching this being animated! so while i do get the momentum of having it fresh, we are talking about superfans and fans here that have even the slightest of details and symbolisms from the original manga and show not only memorised but passionetly having them in their memories is another feeling. Cheers tho to all! and may those that didnt make it here be in the Soul Cycle :blessed:

Akimitzu · April 9, 2026

My Tacos JUST got here, I open Patreon and BOOM here we are... I hope and pray EVERYONE is having a wonderful day and is enjoying these reacts as well. God bless you all ! EDIT (after watching the whole video) - Ron to answer your question about the score of this cour, it was on its way to being a 9.8+ but then people from the One Piece and Naruto community (the haters) started bombarding the website with bad reviews in order to bring it down...but even with all that being done EVERY episode still maintained a rating of 9/10 or higher...anyway, the start of this War Arc is literally like none other in ANY anime, ever. The rollercoaster of emotions you feel, the level of hopelessness, the immediate losses of known and respected characters, its a war arc done right. There are soooooo many things i want to touch on but i dont want to talk your eyes off lol but did you notice how Yamas body was still standing even after being cleaved in half? BOSS. also, Michelle is always based af with her takes ngl. I dont think shes glazing, I think this Cour is actually so damn good that you cant help but say good things about it and be speechless...its truly a masterpiece and the fact its done in a movie quality fashion sends it all the way home...Ron how dare you say your experience may be better than us OG watchers who waited 10 years? WE SUFFEERED, We had to stand our ground against the other anime communities bashing us and making fun of us, eventually saying BLEACH doesnt deserve to be in the big 3... we have SCARS man! (lmao). Lastly ( you probably wont read this until way later ) but, This arc does not slow down MUCH, obviously there are episodes where lore and world building is needed but even those episodes are so well done and keep you locked in...every cour also gets better with animation too. :) YOU GUYS ALSO FORGOT TO WATCH THE SPECIAL ENDING AT THE END OF EPISODE 7, ITS SAFE WATCH NO SPOILERS
