Ichigo drawing a line of energy in front of him to cast Getsuga Tensho has always been cold in the manga but they somehow made it even colder in the anime with how calm Masakazu Morita voiced it.

the translation you watched was a little bit too literal so I wanted to clarify a couple things just in case!: King's Key = Ouken Death-Conquering Garb = Shihakusho and for the Special War Powers, so far the anime has confirmed 3 of them out of 5: Aizen, Kenpachi, and Ichigo also apparently next week is a recap episode, but we are getting a special double episode like you asked for on the 30th of September for the finale!
You know what’s crazy Ichigo used all his might to swing getsuga tensho in his false Shikai and BANKAI Only for it to be a effortless slash and from the smallest blade Shows u how nerfed Ichigo really was for the majority of bleach
thats what ive been telling my homies, ichiGOAT has been nerfed i guess below 50% of his true power! and people been comparing him to other MCs battle datas. BOI😂
For your questions : - Candice asked Giselle to heal her without blood because her blood allows her to control people like shown at the beginning - Ichigo's garb is an Oken, the key that Aizen tried to create and is made from the sqaud zero's members bones as stated when they went down to the seireitei
@@pabloaravenabuick2078 bro Fr when the yt notif came on my screen I was slipping to press it and then I saw bleach tybw 😭 😭 but JETTRO vids never disappoint 🙏🙏💯
Little lore from the previous anime. Aizen was trying to make a similar key by sacrificing karakuro town to mimic the amount of energy needed to open that path to the royal palace. They only briefly talked about it in the original anime so you may not have understood anything they said since those scenes were skimmed over
i hadn’t realised it before, but the sot at 20:07 looks a lot like when Gin Ichimaru was going to Hueco Mundo, at the end of the Rescuing Rukia arc, with the help of Negación, that column of light. the moment where he turned around to say “forgive me” to Rangiku.
8 sternritter using volstandiig against Ichigo's absolute base, AND he's outright ignoring them. Even then, all they manage to do is get ichigo to say "damn it"
I am beyond overjoyed to have found your channel and reactions. I absolutely love how much you love the show and how hyped you get! As a big fan of the manga and anime thank you for your reactions and being a fan. I hope you have a wonderful day and thanks again for sharing these amazing reactions with us!!!
Remember what Ichibei (the monk dude) told Ichigo when they got to the soul palace "Aizen wanted to make copies of us because WE are the key to enter to soul palace." The cool clothes Ichigo was wearing was made out of the zero squad to allow Ichigo to fly down through the barrier unharmed, that's what Mayuri was talking about. Those subs were kinda too literal ngl.
ANOTHER thing i want to explain (i dont blame you, i think its just artificial subs) is the King's Key. You may know it more familiarly by the name "Oken". Oken was the very thing Aizen was trying to create during the Arrancar arc by sacrificing Karakura Town. Oken (King's Key) is an object capable of penetrating the 72 layers protecting the Reiokyu (Soul King's Palace) from the Sereitei and the public. Aizen wanted to go to Reiokyu to take down the Soul King and reform the world, but never could because the lack of the Oken.
Since you’re watching the pirated version, the subtitles and translations aren’t as simplified as the officials, so you’ll probably have a hard time reading it.
Yeah, special war powers, or Special War Threats deppending on the translation are 5 characters picked by Yhwach himself, because they could pose a threat to his plan, and all Sternritters have most info about them. Atm as anime only u've been introduced to 3/5 Special War Threaths, them being Kenpachi, Aizen and Ichigo, there are 2 more yet to be named.
I was in the fridge where I saw this specific green sauce I would use on my food when I would watch the Star Wars game play and I was like “jetro lemme see what he got going on”
The Bambies ain’t shit, but I honestly love them. They really made this episode fun. Their Vollständig transformations gave me Sailor Moon vibes. They said “Moon Prism Power, Make Up!” I’m also really glad they kept the scene of the rest of the Bambies landing on Candice in various ways. It was hilarious in the manga and it was hilarious in the anime. Ichigo came back and showed those girls why we call him Ichigoat! I also loved how he told Candice to dodge his attack. He’s HIM but he’s also a gentleman. 🥹
Dude it wasn't even his spiritual pressure that blew them away. It was the sonic boom gust of air from him flash stepping there in an instant. Even he was shocked.
Does any else think his subtitles on whatever website he’s using is doodoo. It’s like in og bleach when you’d randomly get an English name for a move and it felt wrong. Like the Bambies moves weren’t suppose to be translated
Ichigo is crazy fast, squad zero said that is should take him a week to get down, gremmy said it'll take about an hour for the fight between him and kenpachi( so we can only assume it was) and ichigo arrived a few minutes after that fight. Not to mention that rush of air when he landed by kenpachi, that was strong enough to blow the femritters into the air.
Hey jettro my bro There is a well-known leaker his name is the snitch that says there is, DLC for god of war ragnarok and the work is 60% finished.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Don't worry Jett, episode 25 and 26 will be airing together on the 30 September you will get your double episode. I don't want to spoil, but I will say, if you think this episode was crazy, wait for episode 26 that will be a peak episode 🔥 🔥 🔥🔥🔥.
I was begging through the screen for Candy not to fight Ichigo. I was like, "Babygirl, please don't pick this fight. Not the main character, c'mon now." She's just too hot, and I'm down astronomically bad for her lol. Orihime has a big chest and all, but I was never really much of a fan of her through the entire series. Candy's outfit just has me feeling things XD. She's not lame. She's just out of her league (having a short temper doesn't help, but I like how feisty she is). She's still a Stern Ritter, meaning she's powerful. It's relative. These girls are obviously weak af next to Ichigo, but most others they could probably actually do something against. It's really unfortunate Candy is only here to show us how powerful Ichigo has become, that her character seems essentially made to be fodder. I was hoping for something more from her, cuz the design is..... amazing. Lol.
the source you watched it on was a fansub so some of the translations were a bit off, the "special war power" was the five special threats talked about before
The Special War Members include 5 People. Which are Kurosaki Ichigo, Zaraki Kenpachi, Urahara Kisuke, Aizen Sosuke and Ichibei Hyosube. Those 5 are the biggest threat to the completion of Yhwach`s plan to Kill the soul king and the biggest threat to the Quincies among the soul reapers. He said to Yamamoto that he excluded him cause he got soft after the War against the Quincies a 1000 years ago
@@aryansood9521 its more like production issues, i don't consider this a bad thing because better giving them time and doing it properly then overworking and releasing the ep unfinished or bad quality
The 5 special powers are individuals who are labeled wildcards that can potentially sway the outcome of the war, think of them as special grade sorcerers. So far there are only three confirmed which are Ichigo, Kenpachi and Aizen.
A large portion of the Ichigo vs. Bambies fight wasn't in the manga, nor were their holy forms given names until now, so that was cool to see.
True
Kenpachi fight too, in the mangs they one shotted him, they added so many new things here
@@cancerdeporonga666Not realy,they just added him trying to swing his sword at Candice a second time and changed the order of things.

Edit: It reminded me of "Seiken, Escanor" in Seven Deadly Sins
Did that line of energy absorb the Bambie’s attacks? It didn’t operate like a normal getsuga tensho
this also reminded me of baryon naruto doing the "calm" rasengan
@@786DemigodI'd say it's just half a Jujisho considering he does fire off tenshos normally later on, but that the first half of Jujisho technically works as a getsuga tensho and it was powerful enough to negate the attack instantly
That so casual Gesugatensho with the small blade is just pure violation and disrespectful 😭🤣
“Getsuga EXCUSE ME WHAT” was my first reaction too when I was reading it💀💀😂
For clarification, Getsuga Jujisho is two Getsuga Tensho attacks put together (from both of his power pools, Hollow AND Quincy). The color is accurate to the manga too.
Very interesting no wonder he uses both of the swords
We have to see an ep of Ichigo tapping into his Quincy powers that came put of nowhere!
@@786Demigod His Quincy powers didn't come out of nowhere, though, they were inherited from his mom. Ichigo doesn't know how to use actual Quincy techniques though, he just has the power base to use Quincy reiatsu and passive abilities.
i guess that attacks, when it hit, any target its a guaranteed weakness for them as it contains shinigami hollow quincy powers🔥🔥🔥

@@ardenaudreyarjii think you can say that for all of the big three, at least to some degree

- Ichigo's garb is an Oken, the key that Aizen tried to create and is made from the sqaud zero's members bones as stated when they went down to the seireitei
except the blood zombification doesn't work on an alive quincy so that whole bit of the exchange doesn't make sense

It doesn’t tell you in the manga but basically when kenny gave yachiru an actual name ichibei turned her into a shinigami
Spoiler…
Yachiru is not his shikai…
