    Despite being teased throughout the final arc of Bleach, we never got to see Shuhei Hisagi's much anticipated Bankai - that was, until the last volume of CFYOW. With the story coming to a close, Hisagi reveals his Bankai, Fushi no Kojo, in the most desperate hour. In this video, we'll unpack what his Bankai is, how it relates back to Kazeshini, and how it redefines him as a character.

    What did you think of Hisagi's Bankai? A video on the final volume of CFYOW is coming soon - I know it's been a long time. But let me know if you enjoyed his Bankai and if you felt it suited him!

      He is the Shinigami who cant kill anyone. Not because he is weak, he just fears death/dying. His bankai representing a not dead-not alive state fits him, being trapped inside it kinda feels like Schrödinger's cat for me. I was also dissapointed that he wasnt using it in TYBW arc, although I think the Quincies could have absorbed Reishi to refill themselves and not die in Hisagi's bankai. Also, he is my favourite Liutenant tied with Kira.

    I love that his bankai embodies how much he doesn't want to kill, the opponet literally has to surrender in order not to die and if the opponent wont surrender then they both perish almost as if hisagi cant live with taking a life.

    I think a key point missing here, is that his Bankai allows for a period of negotiation, philsophical reflection. It allows Shuhei to fall back on his most precious gift...his memories of Tosen....to impart a philsophy to an adversary and erode their will.

    people just saying it's weak and only that are missing the point. This is the bankai that fully showcases the relationship between a shinigami and it's spirit and how the personality and feelings of someone can shape their powers and influence them. Shuhei being the "perfect shinigami" who takes full responsibility over life and death and his bankai perfectly reflecting that.

    I'd have to disagree with describing him as a coward. Yes, he is afraid of his own power and yes, at his root he is a pacifist, but that doesn't make him a coward. His fear doesn't cripple him or disable him from carrying out his duties. When necessary he will fight, and he doesn't run from battles. I also didnt initially like his Bankai, but I think it does show his true natural, and it justifies his initial feelings (fearing his sword and that his weapon looks like it was meant to reap life). I think it's awesome that his opponent must sacrifice everything if they choose violence and in a sense makes it so that they to must fear their own power/weapon/"sword". It adds to his character, to try and avoid violence but if given no other choice give everything. Aside from that I agree with everything in your video.

    ALSO, Cang Du’s philosophy of ‘whatever lives together should die together’ is legit a perfect description of Shuhei’s Bankai as both he and his opponent are having their spiritual pressures drained by the chain.

    It would be a great ability for fighting someone strong in the presence of allies, but terrible in just about any other context. Imagine fighting someone fanatical who would rather kill themselves then let the enemy themselves survive. Even against someone like Tosen during the FK arc, Aizen or anyone else would still not have hesitated to kill an alley in that position right alongside Hisagi.
    Now if it could affect multiple people, I think that would change things significantly.

      @@samuelcooper3664 I mean, I remember it having some sort of vibe for those around watching, but it was never outright stated he can grab several people, right? I assume it probably can, but we don't see it do that, so it's hard to know for sure (from what I recall).
      And sure, he could deactivate it and maybe get a slight heal buff from sharing their power. But, at that point, what would have been the purpose in using it at all? This seems like it's better for specific narrative moments than it does general usage to me. Which is great (I love this bankai for Hisagi), but I do think it kills the hype a bit (unless I'm just not as creative as Kubo).

    What I find even more amazing is that we have all seen something very much like hisagi's bankai before, it doesn't really do anything new at all. Hearing it described caused me to flash back to the Hell verse movie and how the denizens of hell were also both eternally chained and couldn't die, All be it with an eventual limit. His bankai mirrors hell in bleach wich I was hoping for as it fits the confliction of his pacifist views and his constant connection to killing and death as a job. As well, just like hell sided with Ichigo seemingly in part due to his insurance on purity of task. Hisagi's zanpactou granting him some form of amnesty from death makes total sense. If it was any other personality, such a power may be seen as both unfair and undeserved possibly both in universe as much as out but given his convictions, fears, personal desires, and even self hate, Hisagi's power can only be such a fitting mirror of the in universe's depiction of death, rebirth, and even to an extent hell. Once more, his shikai having such a power and going totally unnoticed would make complete sense given his character as he would be the last person on the battlefield to be seriously injured with his caution.

  • @truevenom97

    I'm not sure if this was mentioned before but his shikai's true nature was hinted in the same arc it was revealed. Hisagi takes multiple beatings and attacks that if would not outright kill him should at least put him down for the count. Ayon crushes his body (though kira was healing his focus was mostly on rangiku), Tosen slashes him, and later skewers him. Each time he gets back up and appears to fight later.

    The respectably professional and serious soul reaper he has always been.
    You could tell he mattered even more with Kensei being obviously related to his backstory.
    I wouldn't say he's necessarily entirely fearful of battle and killing.
    He disdains it. But his bravery and focus has him completely quell and retain the fear.
    He is able to fight perfectly while having fear in general. But I think he had surpassed that fear for duty a long time before obtaining his shikai.
    Ofcourse he lives by the ideal to fear your own blade.
    But I think he is fearful of death in the sense that most people are of the great unknown in passing.

    The fear of Hisagi's Bankai is existantial. Fundamental. It isn't violent, it isn't grotesque or twisted. It's pure in essence. The primal fear of inevitability, of un-death, of eternal nothingness, of imprisonment in oblivion. It's very similar to the scene with Dr. Strange and Dormammu. Dormammu kills Strange over and over and over again but it accomplishes nothing. He's still prisoner. He's still frozen in that one moment. Thus, fighting Hisagi's bankai is absolutely terrifying, even more so if you're on a schedule. He can just do it forever, potentially.

    It's so very strange how similar his journey is to Ichigo's, barring the obvious. His relationship with his zanpakuto is an awful lot like how Ichigo viewed White, though while White wanted to push Ichigo to be stronger so he can protect himself and those he cherishes, Kazeshini wants to push Shuhei to realizing the purpose of his will and his zanpakuto so he can truly embody the meaning of a Shinigami and Bleach as a whole. And it also falls in line with his want to not have to end a fight with death. Basically the ultimate similarly between both zanpakuto spirits is that they want to give their user what they desire even if they don't consciously realize it. To attain one's Bankai their Zanpakuto spirit must submit to them, and since the blade is the Shinigami as well, they are submitting to themselves, A revelation if you will. The conscious and the subconscious merge into one, and this is probably the case for all other Shinigami except for Aizen who probably rejects his zanpakuto spirit for believing it doesn't understand him, who's to say if he learned acceptance after his fight with Ichigo. Thus it may very well be unlikely he has a Bankai, but I digress.

    I think it suits him because he is the "everyman's vice-captain". It levels the playingfield no matter how much of an underdog he is. And I'm sure there are limits and weaknesses to his bankai's ability, like with everyone else.
    And, as with many of these "random add-ons" to the established lore, I think this fits in well with Hisagi from the manga. It explains why he is able to come back twice after being mortally wounded by Tousen in the fake Karakura town-arc, as well as how he is so effective even after being injured in other fights. He's always been one to "shrug off" damage. His zanpaktou's ability not being explained earlier I think also is suitable, as Hisagi at that point probably didn't understand his zanpaktou well enough to realize this either. I think his line "It looks like it's meant to reap life" actually sets up the reveal of its actual abilities quite well.

    I wonder does his bankai resemble hell's chains that we saw in the 4th movie and in the new manga chapter. If he can use chains offensively, it's similar to what Szayel did to Renji in the new breathes from hell chapter.

    Love your content bro! Hisagi is one of my favorite Bleach characters and his shikai as well as Shusui's are my favorites! The timing, the strength, the versatility just blew me away back in the days!

    Hisagi is literally my favorite character outside of Ichigo himself.

    Makes me wonder if Hisagi was originally meant to be the main character of Bleach

    Nigga had the coldest appearance in the anime before I even watched it. For some reason as a kid he's one of the only people I remembered seeing before watching it years later

    Hisagi was my favorite shinigami from the first time I watched bleach.

    I find it interesting that Hisagi is more like a nihilist than Izuru Kira, despite their different dispositions.
    I think the Bankai represents this deep, instinctual fear of change. It’s the fear of letting go, symbolised by literally being chained together. It’s a state of neither life, nor death, a state of preservation
