Mayuri reminds me all too much of the scientists of Unit 731 who conducted experiments that would horrify even the Nazis but were given not only free pardons, but also important consultation positions after WWII with the Allies.
I think that was the way he started. But I don’t think Kubo actually intended on keeping him alive as a consistent supportive character in the beginning. I’m thinking he was supposed to die against Uryuu but Kubo changed his mind (and considering his proclivity to do that, it wouldn’t be surprising) but Mayuri grew on him and he kept him around. It makes sense since every potential plot point or confrontation based on the SS arc was completely negated and done away with. That’s why I think Mayuri was then shaped into a goofy genius scientist with a cruel streak. I noticed he doesn’t beat the crap out of Nemu after the SS arc, at least I’ve never seen it. Nor does he or Uryuu clever have any kind of confrontation with each other or even an exchange of words about ANYTHING to do with the content from the SS arc. Since it can’t be retconned, I guess Kubo chose to ignore it. His experimentations on the Quincy are only ever mentioned again once in CFYOW, and it’s only that Mayuri had a big change of heart in regards to experimentation on people. Eh.
It wasn’t a mistake at all. Mayuri didn’t get to shine until the war. Before that he wasn’t really considered much of a threat. He really showcased his intelligence and skill when the war started
@@Mikethetwilight1234 hence the mistake. The guy knew rtons of info about quincy, uryu even knew about it. They just didnt pay enough attention. 😂 the quincy really missed ton of people who ware war threats tho. Kenpachi, toapshiro, mayuri, shinji
Mayuri to this date is probably the most complex character in bleach, I can't tell if this dude, is actually a hero, anti hero, anti villain or just a straight up villain 😂😂
I know that Kubo said he wasn’t imprisoned for trying to take over the soul society. He probably was too dangerous and scared the higher ups with his vast growing knowledge and experimentations. Think about how in TYBW he defeated multiple enemies who in terms of raw power were stronger than him but he just outsmarted every single one of them. That’s probably why they didn’t want him moving around freely.
He looks young there. I bet he got found out making his modifications to his zanpakto. He tells Ichigo that he's done it many times, seemingly constantly. Zanpakto are revered in SS, so I bet they freaked out that not only was it possible, but tha he actually did it..
@@majinjason I kinda think the same way. He probably captured some hollows without permission in some poor district and do experimentations on them to test his zanpakuto's abilities.
At first you look at Mayuri and think "ugh what a b@stard" then battle comes and you meet Sal who is the twisted Espada version of Dr. Frankenstein and when facing someone like that you find yourself glad it is Mayuri that showed up to show this guy what the word twisted really ment. Then you see how messed up and vile the Quincy are and one cannot wait for Mayuri to show up and teach these Quincy where they stand in the bigger horror picture they are now find themselves in. So it is indeed a strange feeling to have disgust in such a character and then to feel glad he is on your side when the chips fall.
@@salifyanji2893 Thing is, Mayuri´s first appearenceas got gaslighted out of existence, I mean, one could made and argument on how Kubo failed to portrait quincies as anything more than cartoonic villians, but the quincy Mayuri ended were Ywachs rejects, also, he bribed shinigami to get along with his schemes, so Gotei 13 is also corrupt, and while Ywach ended his men for GrEaTeR PurPosE, and promised them salvation from the shinigami, Mayuri ended those who took no part in the war and greatly enjoyed the pain he inflicted. If you really try real hard, you can try to pass that as something for the sake of SS, but using his own loyal men as grenades? And activating them for absolutely no bigger purpose than to leave no witnesses? Damn, I´d say that makes you ponder, just how righteous the Gotei is if they allow him to get away with that. Rukia was put on trail for a one time action. The last arc tries to portrait him as a cold, pragmatic scientist that is not exactly good but cares for his suboirdinates and comrades and even for Nemu, but what was first shown, is just a different character, since he shown no remorse, nor was he held acountable for any of his crimes, we can´t even speak about character evolution. Have anyone watch his first fight and then his fight with Pernida, and you´ll be rooting for Pernida to FINALLY allow the fallen non-Ywacht servant quincies to be avenged.
These intel to their past I think perfectly explains why Mayuri is the way he is. He doesn't hate Urahara as a person, he hated that he was for the second time at the mercy of someone more intelligent and prominent than he was. Whatever bad blood was between him and Senjumaru, she became uncomfortable when she was promoted into the royal guard.
Mayuri is such a great character. He has some of the best fights, quotes and development in the series. And he was the definitive MVP of the TYBW. Definitely one of the best characters in the series!
It probably deals with him working with Senjumaru in her inventor's faction she was the leader of. After she left he probably was put in Maggot's Nest due to Senjumaru not being in control similar to how he was when Kisuke was leader of the Research and Development Institution.
hmm no mention of that answer kubo put up in klub outside of how mayuri used to be part of a rogue scientist group led by senjumaru before the research development squad was made.
Aizen : studies about hogyoku and soul king out of curiosity and sets the aim for throne Soul society : *calm* Mayouri : studies about subjects even better than his mentors showcasing his potential Soul society: *CRIMINAL!! HE'S A THREAT!*
I wonder if Mayuri's imprisonment has anything to do with his research into the Soul King. Maybe during (or after) working under Senjimaru he went too far with his experiments by trying to break into the Soul Palace to study Reio & Central 46 and/or Zero Squad had him confined. If so, Senjimaru may have vouched for Mayuri to not be executed, but instead imprisoned in Maggot's Nest.
I think the reason why he was imprisoned was more likely due to conducting illegal experiments. Squad 12 was not a research and development institute before Urahara. Remember he said he dissected quincys before? Perhaps that was one of the illegal experiments too. So when urahara founded the research and development institute, he asked Mayuri to join him because he knows that Mayuri will then have the proper environment to grow his true potential which is being a genius scientist.
Then again, what if he could've been tossed under the bus by a research partner? I think that might be more interesting, because you don't expect it. And it would serve to expand his backstory.
Why isn't his connection to Senjumaru mentioned at all in this video? She's on the thumbnail. There was that Klub Outside answer about him being in a research group she ran before she was promoted to the zero division.
I think Mayuri’s devotion to SS is so bizarrely important to him that’s what led him to being locked up in the Hornet’s Nest. He’s known for experimenting on other shinigami without clearance. My best guess is he did something unethical but it was beneficial to SS their only response out of fear of his capabilities was to arrest him. Urahara saw his potential and made a deal with him.
my personal belief as to why he was allowed the head Capitan of the 12th division is partially due to how the original gote where as old man Yama uses Mayuri as a sort of reminder and example as to why they threw away that life due to the pain and insanity that they caused so its kind of like a tale of what not to do and why you shouldn't and why there shouldn't be more people life Mayuri
Finding out that Nemu was actually number 7 was wild, and it made Mayuri extremely human when you found out he named her Nemu Kurotsuchi BECAUSE she was his masterpiece. Dude loved his creation.
Mayuri is really one of the most funniest and interested Bleach characters in Bleach, i'm interested how he looks like that and can turn into green mucus and defienitily i'm interested of the backstory how Mayuri and Nemu meet or how Mayuri even created Nemu. Nemu's one of the most beautiest Bleach female characters. I really hope to see the backstory of Mayuri and Nemu in Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Cour 3 after this video. Can't wait Cour 3, i'm so excited hype is over 9,000! 😍❤🔥🔥
I suspect that Mayuri was imprisoned because he would do anything in the name of advancing his scientific knowledge, and that he had to be chained to keep him from experimenting on his fellow prisoners or provoking them into attacking him. He finds Urahara irritating because he always somehow seems to be a step or two ahead, as well as manipulative. Note that Mayuri would've turned down Kisuke's offer if not for the promise that he would be Director of Research if Urahara died (or was indisposed). Freedom to conduct research as he saw fit (one day), with the full resources of the Soul Society, was the offer Urahara knew he couldn't resist. Captains, it seems, have considerable latitude in running their divisions, and as a practical matter only Urahara and Aizen would have the chops to even understand what he was doing. The one other consideration is that Mayuri was, on the whole, pretty loyal to the Soul Society. Just like Aizen was less interested in destroying the Soul Society than changing how things were run, Mayuri is smart enough to understand that the status quo supports his ongoing research. As long as that support remains forthcoming, he has no reason to rock the boat. Indeed, he will even take it on himself to make sure things run smoothly, like when he purged all those souls in Rukongi to maintain balance without securing permission first. And when Yamamoto called him on it, he basically just said it was necessary. And old man Yama accepted it, because while the act was monstrous, he wasn't wrong. And as long as Mayuri stays within that boundary, the Soul Society will overlook his excesses, because he's the "hero" they need, if not the one they want.
Him being on the “good guys” side makes him a good character if he was a bad guy it would be generic asf. But it’s always fascinating asf to think if mayuri went rogue and him having something like the hogyoku would be terrifying.
Mayuri is Joker having the preparation of Batman. Secret MVP captain of the final arc. Dude was everywhere and contributed bigtime (fighting and healing captains) in almost every major battle. He's not flashy but he gets the job done. In that sense, he's actually the closest in methods to the original Gotei 13 and Yamamoto.
Bro AKON is literally the nicest most undeserving of being imprisoned hahahah He doesn’t talk crap he’s polite respectful and he’s never used a weapon even that we see it’s crazy that HE WAS LOCKED UP AS A CHILD BUT IF YOU LOOK OBJECTIVELY HES ONE OF THE MOST TAME CHARACTERS IN THE WHOLE STORY CRAZY
4:34 swore you said Covid. 9:00 I love how much sense that makes. All of the "weird on purpose" people I know do so to avoid comparison. "I'm special." Is a cop out for comparison or competition.
Considering level of corruption in Souls Society will not be surprised half of maggot nest prisoners were there just for looking sus and thought crimes of looking too intently at some high-up schmuck.
I don't remember what arc or maybe movie it was from, but they had one soul reaper who Ichigo did a laundry competition against he was in Zaraki's squad under Ikaku and because of an incident with a Hollow he lost his abilities and was allowed to retire.
Loved the vid! Bit of a darker take from me but theoretically Mayuri could've just gone and experimented some cocktail of his on his teachers at the academy. He dislikes anyone with authority over him, he despises anyone less intelligent and hates anyone who's smarter than him and he loves to experiment on others. This either could've happened or was about to happen when they locked him up as he rarely tries to hide anything he's doing.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but he does explain why he dresses that way at some point right? It’s also why his outfit always changes. He “evolves” but it also never lets himself be predictable. Look at what he wears. A giant cloak that completely obscures where his body actually is. He’s a poison dart frog who is saying, I wouldn’t touch.
The weird modifications of his body are almost certainly all some type of enhancement. Even the different headdresses probably serve different purposes. IRL they probably were just excuses for Kubo to be creative.
Knowing that he has studied the Quincies so well is why I always felt he threw his fight with Uryu, when has Mayuri just charged ahead in a fight like a Zaraki? He could easily have killed him with his poison, just make one laced with Hollow Reiatsu and he dies even faster Maybe he wanted to experience taking an arrow
Mayuri probably was imprisoned for his experiments, and his willingness to use squad members for research/ suicide missions against their will. (Without significant reason. )
Mayuri is my favorite character by a lot bc the man pulled up in a golden Snuggie in tybw and showed us why he is one of the strongest captains in the soul society
Him being a prodigy at the academy does not make sense as a primary reason for landing him in the Maggots nest. Kaien Shiba was in the academy for 2 years and Gin as well as Tōshirō were in for 1. They were likely way more gifted in that way than Mayuri.
7:38 lets be real if Uahara wasn’t already part of the reapers he would be in the maggots nest not it’s warden, Kenpachi is another one that would probably be in there (if they could take him down) you could probably say the same thing for every member of the founders, it makes you wonder what deal was struck between them and central 46?
Just a curious question, if Urahara said that Shinigami are not allowed to resign from their posts, then how did Byakuya took over his grandfather’s (Ginrei) position as 6th Division Captain?
I have to agree the soul society is very corrupt not all of them but the ppl in charge it really makes you want to route for Yhwach or anyone who wants to take it down but it is the fact Ichigo helps them after he knows what they did I don't know if he knew what they were going to do to him when he got to the soul palace but then changed their mind but it really makes me dislike them also in a way Mayuri looks a lot better compared to the soul society not completely but still (IMO)
TYBW Arc confirmed to me that Kubo deeply regretted writting Mayuri as an Orochimaru level villian and tried to gaslight us into thinking: Hey, this funny mad scientist guy ain´t so bad, in fact deep inside he was kinda neat all along, I wonder why we thought he was a villian, THEN we rewatch his fight with Uryuu and remember... oh, yeah he´s a monster.
Sob is just entertaining ... In all Anime and manga characters we know, every time a character arrives at a fight location we go like: yeah, now the scales are gonna turn ... Or yeah the heros are saved ... But when this sob shows up you KNOW its goning to be intersting, sick, and deadly ... you KNOW he will just WIN buts a matrer off how 😂
Okay how about this, as a student mayuri found out that some noble family has a very very rare item that he wanted to experiment on. That item was a piece of the soul King that was extracted from existing fullbrings whom were getting delivered to tsunayashiro. And he stole a body.
Not exactly, Mayuri is obsessed with poison and torment people with his own experiments while Frieza is an complete racist to breeds that looked like saiyans even though he destroyed earth the second time around after failed a first one.
I wonder if Aizen ever gave thought to using Mayuris skills. Especially once Urahara was gone. Although, I feel Mayuri wouldn't be duped by him. I think your theories are sound and may be all we get. Idk if Kubo will ever fill us in on his favorite crazy scientist. 😅
I always took it as a battle strategy. Because he’s off putting and maybe to cause fear in opponents. It also could serve to make him less approachable so people leave him alone while he’s working 🤔
I bet he was in prison for modifying his zapakto. We know he does it and has done it before, he says as much. I think the first time people found out he was thrown in prison as a dangerous lunatic
He almost certainly ran afoul of someone powerful while his skills and expirements were deemed potentially dangerous to the status quo due to the boundaries they push. Maybe he fatally expiremented on some noble's relative and was only spared execution due to his work still being seen as invaluable. Whatever the case, he certainly contributed to Soul Society's survival in the war even if he's someone who'd normally be hanged in our world for obvious reasons.
He was probably related to the previous scientist who was making bounts. there is no set time when Mayuri was but she was alive a while before and that soul experiment then brought Mayuri into the fold and was set up as the pastee in this sense he was sentenced while she ran away and hid. the funny thing is that his been a scientist thus his standing in a high security prison doesn't make sense when the warden allowed him free exchange.
I think he may have been responsible for some crime (like actual murder), but was good enough to cover his tracks, so the most they could do was sentence him like that rather than execute him. I know it's a stretch, but I can't help but give more thought to C46. You know what that means. Aizen! That there was ever a point in time he was willing to interfere with the old men, I believe it's a distinct possibility that he may have been involved. I only wish there was more to TBTP to suggest this, something like the two may have been involved in some research together. I know, I know. Not everything needs to involve him! But I really would like to know more about Mayuri's past connections, at any rate.
I thought Mayuri genetically changed his body, which is why he looks so crazy. It seems less likely that he paints his entire body every day. I would imagine he has like 10-100 different versions of his own body. Like Iron Man suits, made for specific purposes. But I think any and all of your theories are valid. He's smart and dangerous across the board!
I feel like Mayuri is the most competent captain and deserves more power and responsibilities than he already has. I could easily see him running Soul Society well after Old Man Yama
Being the head captain would be the last thing Mayuri would ever want. Mayuri's the consummate scientist. If he became the head captain, he'd have to spend a lot of time administering the Soul Society -- planning, meetings, leading combat or diplomatic missions, developing shinigami, reporting to the council -- time he could better spend on research, testing, and experimentation. It'd be sheer psychological torture for Mayuri to have to waste his time on administrative duties. Mayuri is exactly where he wants to be - Captain of R&D. The Soul Society provides him with free labs, free staff, free materials, and allows him frequent exposure to the most interesting phenomena in all of reality. It's a dream job for him, one that he'll work hard to protect, incidentally defending the Soul Society in the process. Which is probably why Urahara let him loose and recruited him.
Can you make a video on, How to kill ichigo????? How difficult to kill him since we know that zangetsu will always save him. Interesting topic isn't it?
I feel like the senjumaru thing wasn't thought out enough by kubo And the additional bit about that in klub outside was him trying to make it fit (it still kinda doesn't) But hey, all mangakas have off days. No biggie
Mayuri was only allowed to be a captain because his experiments saved their butts countless times. If Mayuri was still imprisoned, most of the captains would be dead, and Pernida would have killed everyone, because if we're being honest, no one had a counter to Pernida's ability, that hand turned Kenpachi into fodder.
Not really sure. Ichigo kinda got a special training that no other reaper besides Kisuke got. He earned bankai in 3 days time, not something the soul reapers would know how to do. He would have probably learned Kido which could have given him an edge. But honestly, I think part of the reason why Ichigo is such a unique fighter is because he was trained in shunpo, Shikai, and Banki, by the best of the best teachers.
He is antisocial, and awkward, but he's not malevolent. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he didn't admit that he killed those Quincies. It was assumed they were killed by shinigamis and recently we learnt it could be Auswahlen. Maruyi is a genius so he doesn't need living specimens to learn their techniques.
So if this makes sense, the council of the soul society was terrified of Mayuri because he was super exceedingly smart and able to do haikaido haido sorry, at such a fast pace? This deemed him a terror level threat. Okay, Zaraki, another shinigami deemed a terror threat because he was so strong and if he would've completed learning from Yamamoto he would probably turn against the sereitei by their fears of others that have great potential? That's both brains and brawns that were a major help to the soul society.😂 They feared a lot of stuff then and plus they're akin to each other in the friend department (one experiments and hates stupidity as well as simple made biological experiments from other scientists.) (The other utilizing strength and power in fighting within a desire of bloodlust and love fighting, yet can be great in war tactics) they feared gifted individuals! Thank you Urahara and Yamamoto and Ukitake for believing in them
Man, i love his quote about "PERFECTION" when he fought Szayel
Same here it is such a great quote.
Me too
@Karmgoosebumps a_Kawaki
Szayel throwing it back at him during the Pernida fight was also amazing.
I tot I was the only 1
Mayuri is the GOAT, he's such a dynamic character, I don't think there's a character as complex as he is, Urahara is a close second to me!!
Mayuri reminds me all too much of the scientists of Unit 731 who conducted experiments that would horrify even the Nazis but were given not only free pardons, but also important consultation positions after WWII with the Allies.

Horrify the "nazis" are you kidding? They were equally as horrifying nazis have no mortality for them to judge as they did experiments as well
Mayuri demonstrated that him not being considered a war potential was a big mistake.

Can't wait Cour 3, i'm so excited hype is over 9,000! 😍❤🔥🔥
if im not mistaken the whole green mucus thing was because of his shikai
Mayuri w the coke nail makes early Mayuri makes sense 😂😂😂
I suspect that Mayuri was imprisoned because he would do anything in the name of advancing his scientific knowledge, and that he had to be chained to keep him from experimenting on his fellow prisoners or provoking them into attacking him.
He finds Urahara irritating because he always somehow seems to be a step or two ahead, as well as manipulative. Note that Mayuri would've turned down Kisuke's offer if not for the promise that he would be Director of Research if Urahara died (or was indisposed). Freedom to conduct research as he saw fit (one day), with the full resources of the Soul Society, was the offer Urahara knew he couldn't resist. Captains, it seems, have considerable latitude in running their divisions, and as a practical matter only Urahara and Aizen would have the chops to even understand what he was doing.
The one other consideration is that Mayuri was, on the whole, pretty loyal to the Soul Society. Just like Aizen was less interested in destroying the Soul Society than changing how things were run, Mayuri is smart enough to understand that the status quo supports his ongoing research. As long as that support remains forthcoming, he has no reason to rock the boat. Indeed, he will even take it on himself to make sure things run smoothly, like when he purged all those souls in Rukongi to maintain balance without securing permission first. And when Yamamoto called him on it, he basically just said it was necessary. And old man Yama accepted it, because while the act was monstrous, he wasn't wrong.
And as long as Mayuri stays within that boundary, the Soul Society will overlook his excesses, because he's the "hero" they need, if not the one they want.
Mayuri is the orochimaru of bleach
We would be happy to see mayuri, ain't nobody that wanted to see orochimaru again lol
Big Facts!!!
Nah you got it backwards Orichimaru is THE MAYURI of Naruto
Not really if you want to just look at the broadest strikes then sure just focus on a bit more and they're fairly different
He doesn't body snach kids and use them
15:41 Cid would honor their deaths. 😢
Mayuri is one of my favorite characters in Bleach, he is a version of Ourchimaru if he was on the good side.
Him being on the “good guys” side makes him a good character if he was a bad guy it would be generic asf. But it’s always fascinating asf to think if mayuri went rogue and him having something like the hogyoku would be terrifying.
Mayuri is Joker having the preparation of Batman. Secret MVP captain of the final arc. Dude was everywhere and contributed bigtime (fighting and healing captains) in almost every major battle. He's not flashy but he gets the job done. In that sense, he's actually the closest in methods to the original Gotei 13 and Yamamoto.
Bro AKON is literally the nicest most undeserving of being imprisoned hahahah
He doesn’t talk crap he’s polite respectful and he’s never used a weapon even that we see it’s crazy that HE WAS LOCKED UP AS A CHILD BUT IF YOU LOOK OBJECTIVELY
HES ONE OF THE MOST TAME CHARACTERS IN THE WHOLE STORY CRAZY
4:34 swore you said Covid.
9:00 I love how much sense that makes.
All of the "weird on purpose" people I know do so to avoid comparison. "I'm special." Is a cop out for comparison or competition.
There were multiple cases where the Soul Society locked people away for no reason
Considering level of corruption in Souls Society will not be surprised half of maggot nest prisoners were there just for looking sus and thought crimes of looking too intently at some high-up schmuck.
@@berobero686 Exactly. There’s actually multiple examples of where the Soul Society can be directly blamed for creating their enemies.
I don't remember what arc or maybe movie it was from, but they had one soul reaper who Ichigo did a laundry competition against he was in Zaraki's squad under Ikaku and because of an incident with a Hollow he lost his abilities and was allowed to retire.
Loved the vid! Bit of a darker take from me but theoretically Mayuri could've just gone and experimented some cocktail of his on his teachers at the academy. He dislikes anyone with authority over him, he despises anyone less intelligent and hates anyone who's smarter than him and he loves to experiment on others. This either could've happened or was about to happen when they locked him up as he rarely tries to hide anything he's doing.
Urahara being a MP is nuts.
Correct me if I’m wrong, but he does explain why he dresses that way at some point right? It’s also why his outfit always changes. He “evolves” but it also never lets himself be predictable. Look at what he wears. A giant cloak that completely obscures where his body actually is. He’s a poison dart frog who is saying, I wouldn’t touch.
Mayuri is the goat. Him and Zaraki are my 2 favorites. Honestly great characters that are super unique!!
don't forget MAYURI have perfect JP VA - Ryūsei Nakao.
The weird modifications of his body are almost certainly all some type of enhancement. Even the different headdresses probably serve different purposes. IRL they probably were just excuses for Kubo to be creative.
Knowing that he has studied the Quincies so well is why I always felt he threw his fight with Uryu, when has Mayuri just charged ahead in a fight like a Zaraki?
He could easily have killed him with his poison, just make one laced with Hollow Reiatsu and he dies even faster
Maybe he wanted to experience taking an arrow
Hes been adding to his bonki this whole time it looks like i have therory
Mayuri probably was imprisoned for his experiments, and his willingness to use squad members for research/ suicide missions against their will. (Without significant reason. )
Mayuri is my favorite character by a lot bc the man pulled up in a golden Snuggie in tybw and showed us why he is one of the strongest captains in the soul society
Him being a prodigy at the academy does not make sense as a primary reason for landing him in the Maggots nest. Kaien Shiba was in the academy for 2 years and Gin as well as Tōshirō were in for 1. They were likely way more gifted in that way than Mayuri.
Mayuri just I’d winned
just realized how much Mayuri and Bondrewd from Made in Abyss have in common.
7:38 lets be real if Uahara wasn’t already part of the reapers he would be in the maggots nest not it’s warden, Kenpachi is another one that would probably be in there (if they could take him down) you could probably say the same thing for every member of the founders, it makes you wonder what deal was struck between them and central 46?
Just a curious question, if Urahara said that Shinigami are not allowed to resign from their posts, then how did Byakuya took over his grandfather’s (Ginrei) position as 6th Division Captain?
I have to agree the soul society is very corrupt not all of them but the ppl in charge it really makes you want to route for Yhwach or anyone who wants to take it down but it is the fact Ichigo helps them after he knows what they did I don't know if he knew what they were going to do to him when he got to the soul palace but then changed their mind but it really makes me dislike them also in a way Mayuri looks a lot better compared to the soul society not completely but still (IMO)
TYBW Arc confirmed to me that Kubo deeply regretted writting Mayuri as an Orochimaru level villian and tried to gaslight us into thinking: Hey, this funny mad scientist guy ain´t so bad, in fact deep inside he was kinda neat all along, I wonder why we thought he was a villian, THEN we rewatch his fight with Uryuu and remember... oh, yeah he´s a monster.
Sob is just entertaining ...
In all Anime and manga characters we know, every time a character arrives at a fight location we go like: yeah, now the scales are gonna turn ... Or yeah the heros are saved ...
But when this sob shows up you KNOW its goning to be intersting, sick, and deadly ... you KNOW he will just WIN buts a matrer off how 😂
Okay how about this, as a student mayuri found out that some noble family has a very very rare item that he wanted to experiment on. That item was a piece of the soul King that was extracted from existing fullbrings whom were getting delivered to tsunayashiro. And he stole a body.
the longer finger nail is so Mayuri can do lines of Coke to stay awake and complete his research
Mayuri = Frieza
Not exactly, Mayuri is obsessed with poison and torment people with his own experiments while Frieza is an complete racist to breeds that looked like saiyans even though he destroyed earth the second time around after failed a first one.
Same voice actor in japan
Awesome video
Glad you enjoyed it
Y'all call him Mayuri, I call him Kanye East.
Do you have a video on maggots nest
I want to know how Mayuri came to be personally acquainted with Senjumaru before she joined the Royal Guard.
Mayuri strikes me as a cross of Shirō isshi mixed with Josef mengala but points out that alot of good things can come out of horrible experiments
I wonder if Aizen ever gave thought to using Mayuris skills. Especially once Urahara was gone. Although, I feel Mayuri wouldn't be duped by him. I think your theories are sound and may be all we get. Idk if Kubo will ever fill us in on his favorite crazy scientist. 😅
I always took it as a battle strategy. Because he’s off putting and maybe to cause fear in opponents. It also could serve to make him less approachable so people leave him alone while he’s working 🤔
I bet he was in prison for modifying his zapakto. We know he does it and has done it before, he says as much. I think the first time people found out he was thrown in prison as a dangerous lunatic
How does Mayuri know senjumaru? Squad 0 doesn't come down after they're taken up usually.
4:55 visitors don't actually need to be able to subdue someone without their weapon*
Mayuri is my favorite character.
He almost certainly ran afoul of someone powerful while his skills and expirements were deemed potentially dangerous to the status quo due to the boundaries they push. Maybe he fatally expiremented on some noble's relative and was only spared execution due to his work still being seen as invaluable. Whatever the case, he certainly contributed to Soul Society's survival in the war even if he's someone who'd normally be hanged in our world for obvious reasons.
He was probably related to the previous scientist who was making bounts. there is no set time when Mayuri was but she was alive a while before and that soul experiment then brought Mayuri into the fold and was set up as the pastee in this sense he was sentenced while she ran away and hid. the funny thing is that his been a scientist thus his standing in a high security prison doesn't make sense when the warden allowed him free exchange.
Ive always wondered if you cant resign from gotei 13 how did Byuakia's grandfather leave?
Been watching Bleach while Reading the Fabius Bile books
And I gotta say they would probably be very good friends
Kurotsuchi Taicho, is my favorite for sure!!!
I think he may have been responsible for some crime (like actual murder), but was good enough to cover his tracks, so the most they could do was sentence him like that rather than execute him.
I know it's a stretch, but I can't help but give more thought to C46. You know what that means. Aizen! That there was ever a point in time he was willing to interfere with the old men, I believe it's a distinct possibility that he may have been involved. I only wish there was more to TBTP to suggest this, something like the two may have been involved in some research together. I know, I know. Not everything needs to involve him! But I really would like to know more about Mayuri's past connections, at any rate.
I thought Mayuri genetically changed his body, which is why he looks so crazy. It seems less likely that he paints his entire body every day. I would imagine he has like 10-100 different versions of his own body. Like Iron Man suits, made for specific purposes. But I think any and all of your theories are valid. He's smart and dangerous across the board!
He sounds so sinister since its the same voice actor for Frieza
Mayuri is definitely up there for MVP of the war
I think Mayuri being restrained protects the other inmates. Since Mayuri is op with Kido and the other inmates could attack without provocation.
Aizen knowing Mayuri's friendshsip with Uahara most likely was responsible for his imprisonment
The chain is not to immobilize him physically. How would anyone feel if they're chained like an animal?
He is my favorite captain for sure!
That face reveal.
"Oh God he's hot!"
I feel like Mayuri is the most competent captain and deserves more power and responsibilities than he already has. I could easily see him running Soul Society well after Old Man Yama
Being the head captain would be the last thing Mayuri would ever want.
Mayuri's the consummate scientist. If he became the head captain, he'd have to spend a lot of time administering the Soul Society -- planning, meetings, leading combat or diplomatic missions, developing shinigami, reporting to the council -- time he could better spend on research, testing, and experimentation. It'd be sheer psychological torture for Mayuri to have to waste his time on administrative duties.
Mayuri is exactly where he wants to be - Captain of R&D. The Soul Society provides him with free labs, free staff, free materials, and allows him frequent exposure to the most interesting phenomena in all of reality. It's a dream job for him, one that he'll work hard to protect, incidentally defending the Soul Society in the process. Which is probably why Urahara let him loose and recruited him.
Mayuri is basically Orochimaru😅😅😅
Can you make a video on,
How to kill ichigo?????
How difficult to kill him since we know that zangetsu will always save him.
Interesting topic isn't it?
"why does he look like that" it's called fashion, sweaty, look it up
I feel like the senjumaru thing wasn't thought out enough by kubo
And the additional bit about that in klub outside was him trying to make it fit (it still kinda doesn't)
But hey, all mangakas have off days. No biggie
Mayuri was only allowed to be a captain because his experiments saved their butts countless times. If Mayuri was still imprisoned, most of the captains would be dead, and Pernida would have killed everyone, because if we're being honest, no one had a counter to Pernida's ability, that hand turned Kenpachi into fodder.
It always pisses me off that they ignore him being super mengele. Jesus he committed genocide on the Quincy…
How much stronger would Itchigo be if he was properly trained by the soul society?
Not really sure. Ichigo kinda got a special training that no other reaper besides Kisuke got. He earned bankai in 3 days time, not something the soul reapers would know how to do. He would have probably learned Kido which could have given him an edge. But honestly, I think part of the reason why Ichigo is such a unique fighter is because he was trained in shunpo, Shikai, and Banki, by the best of the best teachers.
Can anyone tell me where I can find a app where I can watch old bleach episodes for free I used to own season 1 through 5 but they were stolen
credits for artist of Senjumaru in the thumbnail please?
Man rolled with Senjumaru back in the day. Maybe he was jailed for that.
Who imprisoned him Yoruichi Shihouin of the second squad ?
He is antisocial, and awkward, but he's not malevolent. Correct me if I'm wrong, but he didn't admit that he killed those Quincies. It was assumed they were killed by shinigamis and recently we learnt it could be Auswahlen. Maruyi is a genius so he doesn't need living specimens to learn their techniques.
So if this makes sense, the council of the soul society was terrified of Mayuri because he was super exceedingly smart and able to do haikaido haido sorry, at such a fast pace? This deemed him a terror level threat. Okay, Zaraki, another shinigami deemed a terror threat because he was so strong and if he would've completed learning from Yamamoto he would probably turn against the sereitei by their fears of others that have great potential? That's both brains and brawns that were a major help to the soul society.😂 They feared a lot of stuff then and plus they're akin to each other in the friend department (one experiments and hates stupidity as well as simple made biological experiments from other scientists.) (The other utilizing strength and power in fighting within a desire of bloodlust and love fighting, yet can be great in war tactics) they feared gifted individuals! Thank you Urahara and Yamamoto and Ukitake for believing in them
See what had happened was he knows to much about the soul king
Basically Orichimaru
Send him back
I feel like the character picked up popularity and he was written to be shown in a better light
I always thought it was a coke nail not a talon 😂
