  • What happened to Yachiru After BLEACH Thousand Year Blood War arc?
    The disappearance of Yachiru Kusajishi remains one of BLEACH’s biggest mysteries. During the Thousand-Year Blood War arc, she vanishes without a trace, leaving behind only her Shinigami robes and badge. But was this really a disappearance… or something much deeper? In this video, I break down everything you need to know about Yachiru’s fate! We’ll explore her mysterious connection to Kenpachi, theories about her being a part of Nozarashi, and Kubo’s official explanations from Klub Outside and the Can't Fear Your Own World light novels.

    a little fun fact is that this was forshadowed all the way back in the SS arc, when Kenpachi was fighting Tosen inside his bankai, where he was thinking to himself, but then Yachiru gives him an answer.

      No need. Kenpachi can visit Yachiru (and fight with her mommy as much as he likes) any time he wants. It's called Jinzen. And as a bonus, doing his favorite thing in life will also make him stronger.

      Given that he made Kenpachi's eye patch, I wouldn't be surprised. Seeing them pair up was a treat in both the manga and anime. They're practically the same; they're both crazy, they're both someone you really don't want to fight, and they both have been massively influenced by a prior captain. The difference is that only that one would rather fight with his creations or drugs than his own strength. Allies and enemies respect that fighting them, or being anywhere near their fight, is not good for their health. I see a blue oni, red oni dynamic with them.

    I hope the anime adds some sort of scene towards the end of the arc (maybe in the epilogue or something) where Kenpachi misses her and hears her voice coming from his Zanpakuto saying "I'm right here, silly!" or something like that. It'd be a nice way to both clarify outright who she is and to nicely wrap up the story rather than just cutting to Ikkaku being vice captain and leaving everyone to speculate how he came to terms with it.

    I remember being taken aback after finding out Yachiru was indeed a Zanpakuto. But not only that, she is a Zanpakuto with her own Zanpakuto and it has its own Shikai. It's a testament to the bottomless well of power Zaraki wields ludicrous or not. I think that's the closest explanation as to why a Zanpakuto can have a Zanpakuto of their own. Either way, I think Zaraki has a unique relationship with his Zanpakuto, a spirit manifestation thay was always present watching its owners progress and trying to guide them to unlock their real strength. It particularly stands out in that regard.

Unlike some shit like Naruto, where bad guy Itachi becomes good between seasons, Bleach was written beforehand, and had a lot of information to work still then. Lots of not shown bankai's, Soul King being somewhat strange for Aizen, Ichigo's power, which was foreshadowed in a lot of ways, as well as the story unable to end on Ichigo just loosing his powers.

    I think in a moment Kenpachi was really lonely and wanted a friend. While he loved his battles there was a loneliness there no one to share his success with. His sword sensed that and granted him one while knowing it would be sometime before he actually knew what its name was the friend it sent would help with that one day.
    Yachuri will always be there for her bestest friend Kenny.
    My personal head canon for Kenpachi and Yachuri after learning, she is his sword's spirit and the image of him sitting down around the corpses before her introduction in the story.

    Yachiru/Nozorashi was an interesting take on how far a Zanpakuto spirit goes to be accepted and reached to its owner, like True Zangetsu/Hollow Zangetsu whom kept being rejected by Ichigo throughout the seires.
    I would like to get another ( What - If) videos in the future cause I really enjoyed the what if Aizen never was evil video.
    What if scenarios like:
    - What If Yhwach approached Ichigo in chapter 1 and had him join the Wandenreich, especially that Ichigo would agree to the world Yhwach would create cause Ichigo didn't overcome his grief .
    - What if Ichigo got access to his True Zanpakuto earlier.
    - What if Ulquiorra and Starkk survived.
    - What if Urahara Kisuke adapted Aizen's mindset and turned to be a villain.

    I never really thought Yachirus existence was a mystery, I got an idea what she was back when we first saw the backstory for Stark. The resemblance between the two are very similar. I thought if stark can do it why cant kenpachi at the time when he didnt know his zanpaktos name, even more so being a Captain. Plus a little kid being a Lt, cmon it was right in our face. Then practically confirmed it when they showed kenpachis flashback.

    • @megalictis9002
      @megalictis9002 9 днів тому +1

      I went back and forth on the matter for a long time. I noticed after Kenpachi's fight with Ichigo that he told Yachiru to "shut up a minute" then immediately asked his broken sword what it's name was. And in the flashback the first thing he asked her was where she came from and she answered by touching his zanpakuto. She said before that moment her whole world had been drenched in blood. What threw me off was that Yachiru had a distinct zanpakuto of her own, while every other we'd seen a zanpakuto spirit wield a blade it was shaped like the zanpakuto (and I think the Zanpakuto Rebellion filler arc played into my assumption).

    Given that he was trying the create the perfect artificial shining amid.
    Zaraki in a sense achieved that, by accident oddly enough.
    Think about it, no one could tell ( at least it hasn't been shown to the audience yet) that anybody not even Unohana had any idea Yachiru was an actual shinigami and created by Zaraki, Not Yamamoto, or Kisuke.
    So she definitely was completely down to physical makeup indistinguishable from a shingami. And the obvious having her own Zanpakuto with a Shikai release all indicate that Yachiru is a fully Incarnated Zanpakuto spirit and the only one of her kind.

    This is an example of ppl trying ro cover an authors mistakes. The final arc of bleach was a mishmash of ideas and plot holes. Kubo was told that bleach only had a few chapters left when he was in the final arc and had to rush out ideas. Yachiru beign kenoachis sword is one of them. Showing her off with her own sword and even showing off kenpachis sword spirit in the anime shows that they are not the same. For those of you thinking that the anime osnt canon that story was har kubo heavily involed and every sword design was made by him also. The new anime is literally changing the arc because it was such a fucking mess and lacked sooo much background knowledge. To say later actually this wasnt a writting mistake and this is the one instay in the history of the entire show where a sword has a different sword, and don't look at it too hard. The amount of ppl who say the final arc was good that didn't read it is crazy to me and are lucky the anime is fixing the arc so they dont have to defend it anymore.
