BLEACH TYBW EPISODES 18 & 19 REACTION 🔥

Kensei's always that dude that's running his mouth, but his appearances show that he's mostly just talk. He sees 3 lieutenant-to-captain class shinigami beaten by Mask De Masculine and assumes the worst and doesn't pay attention to what his own lieutenant has to say until it's too late. Result, he and Rose (one of the most nothing characters in Bleach) get bodied just like Hisagi, Ikkaku, and Yumichika did. Then Renji comes with his true bankai and puts in that work after Mask stupidly killed James (who is the real Sternritter). Episode 19 with As Nodt is Bleach going pure horror and it's one of my favorite episodes in TYBW. As Nodt's "The Fear" is absolutely terrifying, which only gets intensified with his quincy vollsterndich, Tartar Foras (the stuff of nightmares). Rukia's true shikai abilities are amazing, but her bankai (basically a fuck-all ice nuke) is legendary! But, the backbone of this episode is the progression of Byakuya and Rukia's sibling relationship. Byakuya just has, in my opinion, the best character development in Bleach. He's repaired his relationship with Rukia and shown his confidence in her. He's learned to let his pride go and ask for help from Ichigo. He even stayed true to Ichigo while under the influence of Tsukishima's "Book of the End." He's my favorite character in Bleach because of his character development.

Nah Im with Michelle get him out of my screen 🤢🤢

I jumped with Michelle😭😭😭

Michelle learning how ears work was the best lol "I felt it in my ear" xD

RENJI IS SO UNDERRATED BUT HES THE BEST CHARACTER EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lol One Pace.

If you think about it Byakuya was actually the one who defeated As Nodt. Sure, Rukia landed the blows, but Byakuya's actions were the warming light in Rukia's heart that kept the fear away. Beautiful episode, so well written and played out.

OMG watching Michelle get scared from as nodt whispering in Rukias ear is so funny. I rewatched that scene over an over again cause of how funny it is. As Nodt's character was so unique and fun to watch. I can't wait to see Ron's reaction on the next episode.

Lmao one of the best reactions to the asmr part

Imma imma imma

Michelle you gotta lock in how that scare you lol

As Nodt's voice actor did an amazing job, and the sound production on that whisper when he shows up was incredible. It really hit that "send shivers down your spine" frequency.

rukia bankai is beautiful

Rukia Bankai is so majestic

As Nodt's English VA also killed these lines.

Idk why but I really appreciate Michelle using Komamura’s first name. I feel like him and his bankai are often overlooked just because it’s kind of basic.

To understand renjis bankai, the name means two kings, remember his spirit is a baboon with a snake tail. his old bankai only used the snake half while he wore the baboon furs as a cloak. Now he uses both which involves the baboons strength

The scene where ichigi is falling looks like goku in dbz

Bruh Michelle reaction to Nodt VA was mad funny asf 😂 🤣 💀 I fuckin lost it 🤣🤣🤣

wait did yall skip the bount arc when the swords had physical forms cause wym u dont understand ... its a snake and a monkey the mokey is where the arm comes from

Lmfao I’m dying laughing at Michelle being jump scared!!

Let,s gooo

I'm not gonna lie... I've always seen the episodes on TV, big screen, home cinema sound, BUT this time, I agree with Michelle 😱, Fear guy's voice in my ears with my buds, made feel like he was right behind me 😨 it was creepy!!! 😨😱😭 Rukia 🤩❄️ Byakuya 😍❤️🌸 Yachiru!!! Cutie!!! 🥰

there's an after scene

Haven't seen any schedule updates or announcements. Are we gonna have Boruto episodes today?

Seeing rukia’s bankai for the first time actually drew me to tears I wanted to know so bad watching bleach as a kid and I didn’t even see it in a spoiler for the manga so seeing this for the first time after so much anticipation led me to tears. She looked incredible.

This was my first time watching the as nodt fight with headphones in and Michelle didn’t over react 😭😭😭 girl me tooooo

Ichigo is the ultimate Mary sue. I’m not mad about either.

Every episode in TYBW is a banger. It's just all gas no brakes

I can’t even lie. I watched this at 3:00 in the afternoon on a sunny day and As Nodt whispering in my ear scared the crap out of me 😂 That jump scare was a great moment for the reaction lmao. As artistic quality goes, I’d say that episode was my favorite of the second cour. And As Nodt became my favorite Quincy.

Idk, if you've noticed, but Byakuya constantly thanks his enemies (when he says "Reiwoiu" I get chills). Another reason why he is still one of my top 3 characters in Bleach, after so many years.

As Nodt has the same VA as Inosuke from Demon Slayer btw

i HAD to go back and watch Michelle get jumpscared it was fantastic. i have pretty nice speakers for my PC and i will tell you when that scene came on it was like he was in the room with me so i feel you. great reaction as always!

Besides just getting stronger, Ywhach also benefits from killing the fallen Sternritter so that they can't revolt or spread dissent bc they don't know that his plan kinda involves them dying. I can't even remember if they all know that he gets stronger when they die even! He doesnt really allow them to question him either, he just promises them the world and demands loyalty!

Rukia ice nukeeeee

Rose explaining his powers to mask and then losing because of it is absolutely one of the best examples of why Bleach suffers from the “characters explain their powers to their enemies” trope in older shonens.

"dont worry about Squad 11" means literally what IT says xD, Zaraki does whatever he wants thats why Central 46 didnt want him to become stronger because he would be way to dangerous If he decides that he doesnt want to follow Orders^^

One thing I was most excited about is seeing all the new bankais that we haven’t had the chance to see yet

No offense but not everything similar is because it's an inspiration. Most manga state their inspirations in interviews and volume extras.

Michelle looked genuinely TERRIFIED and I am cracking tf up 😭🤣🤣🤣

For the level or Aura that Ichigo has, for that to make you memory recall MJ in space jam!!??? my goodness, lol I been saying for years, Ichigo is one of one when it comes to SJ protags. His only rival finally appearing after all these years in Kagurabachi. Sung Jin Woo whoo???

one piece is real!

Things you might have missed this episode: - After Sternritter S dies, the name that Yuha calls back is "James", which means that the one who was the Ritter is the little guy. Their bond is one of a fan (James) and their idol (Mask De Masculine) and the "connection" Ron thought of they might have is nothing literal. It's basically James' manifestation of his power or a vision of himself even, if he was a superstar wrestler. - Prior Renji's release word for his bankai was "hihio" and now it's "so-o". Lets just say it matters a lot how you get called. In a serious or working environment you might get called by ur surname, with friends they call you by name or even a nickname, while in moments of respect your full govt name. - "Ein Heldenleben", the attack Rose (the music bankai guy) was gonna use is German for "A Hero's Life". On another note, peak reaction from Michelle this time around. The sound design during Rukia's episode was genuinely horror quality. Perfect for a character like As Nodt !!

21:46 if yall watched the Zanpakuto you would know why 😭

Lock Ron up after Thursday

Even though he didn't had much screen time, Äs Nödt actually became one of my favorite Quincies 🖤🖤 He plays so intensely with the minds of his opponents, his ability is sick, he possesses a mysterious, terrifying aura, his character design is damn cool and his voice is just badass! His VA did a truly incredible job! 🔥🔥I could honestly listen to Äs Nödt talk all day long, simply because I find his voice absolutely awesome 😂😂🖤🖤🔥🔥

At the beginning of the video you mentioned how much you’re enjoying the show, and I think I know why… you actually try to understand Bleach 🫶 I’ve seen a lot of reactors who mainly focus on the animation and fights but don’t really dig into the story because they’re used to being spoon-fed (everything's spelled out or shown). So I really appreciate you two having actual discussions and the curiosity to really understand what’s going on 🫶 The voice acting for Äs Nödt is my favorite villain performance 🤌 This + the character design + the whole fear concept = PEAK 🙌 I’m so sorry Michelle, but I cracked up when you got scared 🤣🫶 I always wondered why there were two ice Zanpakuto (Hitsugaya and Rukia)… but turns out there aren’t, and now we know. To sum it up: • Hitsugaya’s Zanpakuto is about ice ❄️ • Rukia’s Zanpakuto is about temperature 🌡️ Btw, the Stranger Things' Demogorgon: Bleach did it first 😌✌️

We have seen what ranjis bankai spirit looks like before and it’s this weird half monkey snake thing, so you can interpret that before when he was only using half it’s name, it was summoning just the snake, now with the full name it’s using both

Mask just needs to feel the energy of James' cheers; he does not necessarily have to hear them. That's how he heals himself. It's like what happens in real wrestling. Names have always been a big thing in Bleach. This was well established in early OG Bleach. Like how knowing the names of your attacks increases the attack's potency (Old Man Zangetsu revealed this to Ichigo during their training). So when Renji revealed his Bankai's name to be Hihio Zabimaru in OG Bleach, it was a hint that his Bankai was not complete. That's because Hihio Zabimaru means Baboon King Snake Tail. We saw in the Soul Society arc how Renji's zanpakuto spirit looked, and it was a Monkey and a Snake. The Monkey seemed like he always had Renji's back, but the Snake's words hinted at how he never acknowledged him. Meaning Renji had a partial Bankai, as only the Monkey part of his spirit was acknowledged as a king, while the snake was not. The Snake Part of the partial Bankai only seemed like a tool. And this was finally followed up on now as his Bankai became So-oh Zabimaru, which means Twin Kings Snake Tail, as both spirits are acknowledged. Byakuya also hinted during his fight with Renji that he needs years to master his Bankai completely. Another example of a similar usage of word play is with Gin. The name of Gin's Bankai was revealed to us before he revealed his true intentions. It was called Kamishini no Yari, which means God-Killing Spear. People went bonkers when this was revealed, as only Aizen was the one who seemed like a God at that time, hinting that Gin's true intentions were to kill Aizen. Episode 18 also explains how Renji had a poor win record in OG Bleach, as he had a partial Bankai to begin with, and parts of that partial Bankai were destroyed by Byakuya during their fight. Based on what we learned from Mayuri, a broken Bankai is weaker than what it was before, which put another shackle on Renji. Yhwach addressing James and not Mask indicates that James was the actual Sternritter. That means Mask is just an idealistic version of James that he sees in himself under the fas*ist ideologies that Yhwach follows. This indicates that under such practices, the truth is often hidden from those who follow them as they view themselves to be something else than what they actually are, which is a nice layer of added complexity. James coming back to Yhwach would only have hit different with the context of the chapter called "God Like You", which was adapted in the first episode of Cour 2. That chapter does not translate well in the anime, as it is just a fraction of what it actually represents. It is a must-read as it gives you more context on Yhwach as a character. The post-episode discussions after ep 18 would have been interesting with that additional knowledge, even if you get a little more context in ep 19. Haschwalth killing the two defeated Sternritters goes in line with the fas*ist themes. Of course, they were going to be killed for failing to represent the ideology that they follow. Plus, it feeds Yhwach as well. With Rukia, her worldview was shaped by being around Kaien. So she thought that her zanpakuto was similar to him in the way that ice emits from the tip of the sword, just like water emits from the tip of his sword. But upon self-reflection, she has finally been able to see value in herself due to the training she underwent. Meanwhile As Nodt, represent that aspect of fas*ism where people follow these customs due to the fear instilled in them. At the same time, it also represents those who fear seeing a world without their practices. Byakuya's words at the end directly address what happened with Komamura. Byakuya said, "Nothing can be saved by throwing your sword in exchange for your life", which is what happened to Sajin. Such a tragic end to a good character.

Definitely,As Nodt is one of my favorite villains.

I love Ron xD much love from TN

Petition for horror anime reaction! Ghost Hunt anyone? Jk Michelle will never be ready. I can only wish.

Haha, I spat my coffee when Michelle decided Bleach is horror story on that hand touch and "Hehe" scene to scream :D

Finally!!!!

Michelle be honest about your fav anime you know it’s bleach or Naruto lol

I lowkey need to see yall watch a scary movie now lol

Naruto > Bleach

58:30 5 special threats I think you were refering to that. I believe Ichigo, Aizen and Kenpachi have been revealed for those. If I remember correctly they have yet to mention the other 2

fun fact: Rukia’s zanpacukto is known as the most beautiful in the soul society

If I’m not mistaken, up until episode 19 there had been no direct mention by name of those who belong to the group of five Special War Powers. But as you already named them yourselves, it’s Ichigo (he’ll be explicitly mentioned a bit later), Kenpachi (he’ll be mentioned very soon), and I don’t remember Aizen being mentioned yet — for example, in the Yhwach vs. Aizen dialogue in Muken — but you’re thinking in the right direction. And as was already mentioned below in the comments, there are still 2 more names coming ;) And yes, it’s not Yamamoto — Yhwach himself explicitly mentioned that he excluded him from the list ;)

Can you believe that director wanted to cut dialog from As Nodt because it would make the episode to long. But Kubo said not to cut anything about the dialog and they made the ending and the scene going on in the background of the credits to fit it in.

As Nodt’s VA was so fucking awesome!!! Rukia was impressive but I was more appreciative of Renji’s performance! Michelle will get a laugh outta next episode

It’s sick that As Nodt’s skin transitions into a hospital gown

I remember watching these thingking am I watching BLEACH right now?? i never been scared of feel uneasy like this,As Nodt VA really brings out his character beyond the screen man,im truly feel disturbed by him,he is the best depicted amongs the members of Sternritter my personal opinion,straight out of Jinjo Ito shit lol..Another peak is coming guys WO!

Guys what-if after cour 4th, you rank your favorite Quincy from worst to best ??

There is actually 6 war potentials... Ron is the sixth man with his big brains and unpredictability 💪🏼🔥🥵

If you would have watched the Zanpakuto rebellion arc (the only filler worth watching), all of sword spirits manifest and fight against their owners. Renjis is shown to be a baboon with a sentient snake tail. So it basically has like 2 spirits in 1.

5 special threaths are, Ichigo, kenpachi, aizen, kisuke and ichibe.

Yall know how Bleach is. Every time someone trains and level up they get new drip lol

Ron wishing Bleach pacing to be like One piece pacing is crazy, you want it to slow down that much? Yea no. I love one piece tho so no hate . I'd say it'll be some chill moments in future maybe lore or backstories similar to ichigos mom backstory with the quincies

As Nodt VA is the same VA for Inosuke from Demon Slayer

Haha, this was definitely one of the scariest episodes for sure. As Nodt is such a cool villain and super creepy. That will mostly be the end of scary stuff, from what I can remember.

Also so-oh zabimaru used to be Zoo zabimaru in the manga so that really shows renji’s power is linked with animals and stuff that’s why it wasn’t just a snake anymore

Rukia's Bankai is one of the strongest. Its enough to where she could become a Squad captain. It most certainly surpasses Hitsugaya's Ice Bankai Hiyorinmaru Cour 3 is gonna go CRAAAAZZYYYY!!! Holy Shit!

Michelle soul reapers don’t die of old age so asking if ichibe was immortal is kind of funny ahaha especially when we have the creators of zanpakutos who looks much younger

Rukia has the prettiest bankai for sure!!

SPECIAL THREATS THAT HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED 1. Ichigo 2. Aizen 3. Kenpachi

Lol i KNEW As Nodt would get to Michelle Hes such an AWESOME freaking villain!!

Ron, let Michelle be scared if she afraid lol That was quite off guard. Thats great production quality. shows you how good they did this arc

I would give you guys a million guesses and you would never in a million years be able to predict how this anime plays out lol

If they’re glazing this animation i can’t wait til they get into wano and beyond in OP

Since it's confirmed that the first three episodes of Bleach TYBW cour 4 will be in theaters in June. Hopefully it'll be a global showing for all the fans to see. Crossing my fingers that these two will go out and see it and enjoy with the rest of us Bleach fans the peak we will be witnessing. Love this episode for many reasons one of them being that As Not's description of true fear was really spot on and not at all gimmicky. You can train forever, have the best abilities, even temporarily kill yourself. True fear will always seep through your nerves and even deeper into your soul. Rukia, As Not, and Byakuya Kuchiki had that shit on! You know a episode is excellent when you truly get jumped scared almost out of your seat. Peak reaction and episode can't wait for the next two.

Theres also 5 special threats not 3, we've only been told 3 of them at this point..

That man Byakuya got to much drip!!! Shout out to rukia for unlocking bankai!!

no more jump scares. Ron going to be in for a treat next episode though lmao

They are referred to as the 5 special war potentials. Each one is considered a war potential for different specific reasons. So far I believe only 3/5 have been specifically mentioned as war potentials. Although, without spoilers, the remaining 2 war potentials are characters we have already been introduced to, it just hasn’t yet been explicitly stated they are the remaining 2 war potentials. Ichigo is a war potential for his “potential”, self explanatory, he is always evolving at a crazy rate and his power/potential seem limitless. Kenpachi is a war potential for his strength alone. Again, self explanatory, his strength is in a league of its own. Aizen is a war potential because of his overwhelming reaitsu(spiritual pressure), obviously aizen has always had extraordinary reaitsu, but after fusing with the hogyoku and evolving beyond a soul reaper his reaitsu has only continued to increase/grow. That’s the reason the three that have been named so far are considered potentials. Obviously the remaining two have their own “reason” as well. Hope this helps.

The matrix was actually heavily inspired by the anime movie “Ghost in the shell”. You should go check it out if you haven’t!

34:33 lmao

I really love this episode. Rukai finally getting the praise that she deserves from her brother with the ending song playing. Plus, that Bankai reveal with the song "Slip Away" playing gets me every time.

I think u understand bleach so well bcuz you’re a true anime watcher now

To put it simply Ron .. when you’re right your right lol

If u watched the fillers it shows renjis bankai and its a monkey with a snake tail, so thats prolly where the hand comes from

It's been a long time but in the Soul Society arc Renji summoned Zabimaru to train his first Bankai and it was revealed that Zabimaru was a baboon with a snake tail. And both the baboon and the snake had a mind of its own. It's not 100% clear but it seems that the whole time Renji's mostly been using the snake-like abilities only, which would make sense considering he only knew half of its real name.

Also both of you are in for a special surprise this summer when Cour 4 drops!!! 😈👹🔪.

one thing i think is really unique (or was at the time) is that a lot bankai carry great risk. it's like they are wagering something in order to access higher power. it's kind of like nen users in hunter hunter where they are making nen pacts or i guess jjk too with cursed pacts. sort of. bankai is so strong that most only use it as an absolute last resort. that's why there are so many that havent been revealed to this point.

as nodt is by far my favorite sternritter i love himmmm my baby

As Nodt VA did petelgeuse from ReZero. He's a goat. Next episode is gonna be insane. Yall not ready 💀

As Nodt VA in subbed killed it brought the real horror to his character. When I read the manga I was always thinking what he would sound like but man the VA killed it.

I will never get over how beautiful Rukia's bankai is. She's gorgeous. Also, putting hands on Yachiru is an immediate catching of these hands. Can't wait for the thursday double drop. Ron is gonna love those episodes.

For Clarification Ron, there are 5 special threats. To this point they have given 3/5: Ichigo, Kenpachi, and Aizen. There are 2 more that have not been said yet. Old man Yamamoto was considered, but Ywacth saw that he grew weaker over time and didn’t consider him one of the threats.

Renji bankai has two animals a monkey and a snake when you go back to og bleach when renji materializes his zanpakuto for the first time after losing to ichigo. you see a white monkey or baboon with a snake tail.

I rewatched Michelle getting scared like 15 times and Ron’s reaction to her screaming 😂😂 that was awesome

We have officially hit a legendary run of just straight peak ladies and gents

On thing I really want you both to remember is the difference between Shikai and Bankai. Shikai is the first release state of a zanpakuto, and the user just has to say the name of their sword to activate it. Bankai is the second and ultimate release form of a zanpakuto, and the user has to say the word "Bankai" before the name of the sword when that want to activate their Bankai. Not sure if you guys remembered this detail or not but I just wanted to remind you

Is 5 war potential ichigo kempachi and Aizen. And i think the other 2 haven't been mentioned yet, could you make a prediction about who you think they might be?

One of the best episodes in Bleach and this whole stretch going into the next season is peak. Space jam reference was hilarious and also Michelle experiencing true fear. One of the sickest quincies. Rukias Bankai was a peak moment for fans, so beautiful. And the way Byakuya was so kind and gentle with her, it's just epic. He said "Little Ru can finish this" And As Nodt thought Byakuya used his bankai! Byakuya leveled up to an insane degree, as in Rukia is much stronger now but also he increased the gap by a lot as well. Look at his old shikai compared to this. His dialogue about bonds and backing away to see them from afar is some real shit, the metaphor with his bankai is dope.

Next Episode is definitely gonna be Ron's favorite episode

It's strange that no one has mentioned this before, but in the manga, Kubo actually killed Byakuya, but he received so many girl fan letters that he had to change the story.

Here is the funniest fact, AS Nodt voice is same as Zanka em gachiakuta and INOSUKE of demon slayer, this guy is such beast in voice acting, so talented. Tanjiro VA will come too.

Next ep is Rons favorite

No more jump scares just hype

As Nödts VA also voices Inosuke from demon slayer

This is definitely peak reaction with that jump scare

Ichigo's drip be insane after each training session he gets lol. Big W to the goat Byakuya for being by Rukia's side. Her bankai form looks so similar to her Zanpakuto spirit from the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc which was a filler arc y'all skipped. Still hoping that y'all react to it eventually its fire. So much hype with all the bankais we've been getting these past few episodes. And Bleach manga came out in 2001 and Bleach anime came out 2004

Loved Rose's bankai it was super creative. Renji's new bankai form is fire and love the new drip. The ost went crazy too. Its by Hazel Fernandez, same lady who sings 'Number one' Ichigo theme. As Nodt (F) VA deserves a raise, he killed it! I felt bad for Michelle when she got scared lmao I don't play when it comes to scary sh*t either.

renji not even a captain? he had already have a bankai so he is on a captain level now plus he was trained by squad zero, it just he doesn't want to be a captain.

I love how Michelle spent the whole episode bracing for jumpscares I get it lmaoo

okay Ron's def gonna climax on the couch next episode

God I can't wait to see Ron's reaction to Thursdays double drop.

Through my first watch of this show, I kept having the question asked to me "who's bankai are you most looking forward to seeing", and since the early arrancar days my answer was always Rukia. Every time. I think I love her more than most but I have never lost my shit more than seeing that reveal for the first time. Shit meant the world to me honestly. The best bankai reveal in the entire series ❄️❄️

Ironic how Kensei dissed his Lieutenant for losing to Mask De Masculine (Superstar) yet he got completely embarrassed and Renji who isn't even a Captain had to come in and finish the job. Also, Rose explaining his Bankai to the enemy just so he could blow out his own eardrums and completely counter it is such a sell on his part 😂 he tried to aura farm and failed miserably.

Wow you guys nailed the discussion PERFECTLY, I really appreciate your good work. Cant wait for episode 20💙💙💙💙

Now there is an explanation why Renji's bankai kept getting slapped. He was running around with a partial bankai lol.

Renji and Rukia are fire! Also support of Byukia

I think Bleach pacing is perfect for what it is, cause its a war. If a war feels slow-paced, then it won't feel like a war. I think slow pacing makes sense in the earlier arcs more than this arc. Like Bleach Thousand Year Blood War is obv 100x better quality than One Piece. But man my connection due to how much I love the characters+ slow pacing is such a weird combo for OP. IDK, but Bleach tybw def has better quality and feels like cinematic experience. But OP is just weird show where everything says its a bad show but I love the shit out of it

my favorite bankai in bleach!

It's insanely impressive that Kubo can introduce characters like As Nodt who have such a short run time in the show but leave such a great impression on the viewers. He genuinely embodied fear in a way that didn't come across as too try hard or corny, it was GENUINELY frightening with the VA amplifying that. I mean case and point, he even scared Michelle 😂

Ron is definitely going to be smiling ear to ear next episode Also at the very end you talked about cour 4 animation. Apparently the studio spent more time in production on cour 4 than the other 3 cours combined

It is called "5 War Potentials", I think Yhwach said that those 5 had the most potential to ruin his plans. That is why he removed Yamamoto from the 5 War Power because while yes, he is prob way stronger than Kenpachi, Yhwach doesn't think Yamamoto could have ruined his plan like Kenpachi with more power can. Ichigo obv is one because his ability are just unpredictable, could easily swing a war. I think Kenpachi has the power but also his very nature/personality that makes him a problem.

Do you guys think after you finish bleach youll watch burn the witch? Its a short series with like 4 eps about the western soul society. Hollows equivalent are like dragons kinda and its written by kubo still.

are the bleach intros coming soon🥺

They did As Nodt justice. The VA plus the production was incredible.

It's 5 special threats.

great episode for rukia. not my favorite char, but its def a cool sequence. Like byakuya part tho

As nodt is goated , I don't know if u guys ever thought of comparing Espada to Quincies, but... Quincies have abilities that are practically one shots ,like they are bustedd

do yall think they are ready for the next episode? Michy, have 911 on stand by. Also TOP 5 jump scares for sure from her

30:25 "Ill handle this" AURAAAA ICHIGOAAAT!!!!!! 34:31 the way Michelle jumpscared LOOOOL

Also funnily enough James is the real Sternritter while Mask is his Projection of his power 😂

[Tidbits Ep.19] (Sidenote - We learn from Klub Outside Q&A #281 that the Schrifts that the Quincy have are based on traumas they experienced in life or something they lost during times of war) - Some content about Senjumaru's from 0 Squad (Gold Arms lady) was removed, it shows that she's the one who made the new clothes for Ichigo, Rukia, Renji, and Byakuya and they serve a purpose aside from just looking cool. - The Scale is a hint at what Jugram Haschwalths' ability is. Given what he said, Cang Du survived his 1st attack, which was fortunate, but then we saw the scale tilt. (Make of that what you will) - In the Manga, there exists a little more context to what As Nodt Fears. He exclaims: "My only fear is to be rebuked by His Majesty and have all of this Body taken from me" As we saw with the glimpses of his backstory, he was apparently always in a state close to death and that's a state that he never wants to return to. - As Nodt's speech is slightly altered here in the Anime, but the general premise is that at the fundamental level Comfort leads to Life and Fear leads to Death, he believes that fear is inherently a feeling birthed from our survival instincts, meaning that to want to live means to fear death. - Believe it or not, Some fans draw issue or feel that Rukia's reaction to Byakuya was forced, but as we know Rukia for a long time had never really felt seen by Byakuya, and learning that she was adopted thanks to a dying wish and not her skills certainly wouldn't help sway those feelings. - As Nodt's Death brings up an interesting topic, Yhwach comes across as even more sadistic ruler, he seems to take advantage of the Quincy who were looking for someone or something to save them, and he appears much like a false Messiah, promising them everything while actually seeking to take everything. - Kirinji from the 0 Squad is known for his speed and he believed that it would take a week, Ichigo saying it'll take only half a day is a nice little humble brag. (Sidenote 2: As Nodts obsession with Senbonzakura is interesting, I personally believe it's symbolic. As Nodt seemed to have been living a bedridden life, so his life was likely devoid of seeing beautiful things and hlikely felt that life itself was not beautiful. Senbonzakura is just that, this beautiful tool that he can use to employ the same fear that he was forced to endure.) [Reposted]

When a sternritter dies, all of the power, skills and knowledge goes back to Ywach.

As Nodt Va was one of the best I’ve ever heard in all of the shows I’ve watched, such a short time but man every second he was shown was great, loved his character and your reaction

The ginger guy kinda reminds me of kenpachi

I can tell that the jump scare actually left you mortified

kirito (sao) and inosuke (ds) va

[Tidbits Ep.18] I enjoy how Mask's/James power is a quick reflection of the relationship between Superstars and Fans. It's a reminder that Superstars are only as important as their fans make them, if you step over your fans then you lose it all. - Some people are confused about Rose's Bankai. It's an illusionary type, however, it seems that those illusions can affect reality as long as you believe it so. - The Battle of Renji vs Mask is also a nod to when Renji said that he was simply a dog barking at the stars back in the Soul Society Arc. - The aspect about Renji not knowing his Zanpaktou's True name is something we experienced in part with Yumichikia, If you recall Yumichika intentionally calls his Zanpaktou a wrong name which results in a half-released shikai. We also learned when Renji fought Byakuya that his Bankai was still immature so it was bound to improve at some point. [Sidenote: The beginning of Mask v Renji is slightly different in the manga, it's has more moments of Renji overpowering Mask.] - Renji's original Bankai name was "Hihio Zabimaru" which translates to Baboon King Snake Tail, referencing only the Baboon as the King whereas the True Name "Sōō Zabimaru" means Two Kings Snake Tail. - Many question "Why aren't the Vizards using their mask", the answer is honestly quite simple, if you think about it in most of the fights they haven't needed them. For example, Shinji was easily winning until he was straight up blindsided/caught of guard, same thing happens here, Kensei has 0 issue until Mask gets a random power up, then it's too late to pull out the Hollow Mask. Same with Rose, he was winning then a sudden change of events turned the tables. - Ichibei reveals here that his name given by the Soul King is Manako Osho which means "The Monk who speaks the True Name" He's also the one who created the name Bankai and Shikai, this is important because names in Bleach mean a lot, to use one's power often requires a name. So Renji's question "What are you" is very fitting - As many may comment you are correct. Judging by Yhwach's words, James is the real sternritter. This was confirmed by Kubo in his Klub Outside QnA's, Mask De Masculine is simply a being that's made from James ideal of a Hero, which is why no matter how often he went down James could simply bring him back, James is the Fan and as long as Fans Exist, the Hero can never fade. (also why his design and name are so cartoonishly over the top) - Soken Ishida is interesting, he seems important enough that someone like Jugram Haschwalth knows him by name, it makes you wonder what was his position back when Shinigami and Quincy were at war. [Reposted before watching so sorry If it covers content you guys are aware of]

as nodt voice actor did so good, he is the voice actor for inosuke from demon slayer. also ron, there are 5 special war potentials but i think we only know 3 so far

So Renji's Zanpakuto Spirit is a Monkey with a Snake as it's tail. They showed it briefly a few times in the Soul Society arc but it was more so depicted in the Zanpakuto Rebellion filler Arc as well. That's why his Bankai is part gorilla and snake.

Whys James lowkey lovable haha

Your Jump scare....Made me jump a bit LOL

We saw Renjis spirit waaaaaay back. He has a gorilla snake creature so thats why he has a gorilla arm and snake arm

If you look way back you'll see that zabimaru is an ape with a snake for a tail. Thats why renjis old bankai was only the snake part since it was half the name. The true form is an ape arm and a snake blade 🔥

Yupppp

LESGOOO

Renji came off fraud alert and Rukia showed who has the most beautiful Bankai in my opinion. Banger episodes
