Hello just wanted to come in and say great reaction and I would like to Recomend An Anime if thats Alright, Alrighty the Anime is Guilty crown and i would think you guys would like it, If you guys have Already seen it then Just wanted to say great content and I hope you have a plesent day😊❤🎉 EDIT: Guilty crown is one of the OGs, I highly recomend it if your looking for a happy and gut Wrenching Anime, That is a true masterpeace some may even say a Hidden gem in a Collection of old Animes🎉❤😊
That soundtrack when Grimmjow release his zanpakuto, Power to strive, is honestly one of the best in all of Bleach !! It's so glorious...Also his ressurection is top 3 really, both in transformation and design !!
What i really love about Ichigo's power is that his strength comes from the state of his heart and soul. People not paying much attention would've called "Ichigo suddenly stopping Grimmjow's hand without even looking" as an asspull but if you really think about it, Ichigo was always stronger than Grimmjow in this fight. In the beginning when Ichigo saw that Orihime was afraid of him, he subconsciously held back and so the fight was kinda evenly matched. Then when Grimmjow taunted him about not wanting a boring fight, Ichigo got riled up for a brief moment to the point where he overpowered Grimmjow a little bit and even slashed his chest. Then the fight got even again as Ichigo tried to subconsciously hold himself back once more out of fear. And lastly when Ichigo took those hits for them, Orihime got a good look at his mask and was visibly frightened by it. This further held back Ichigo which is why he was getting his ass whooped immediately after that. So now when Orihime called out for him, that's when all shackles broke and he wasn't holding back anymore since she basically reassured him that she just don't wanna see him get hurt, which explains why he suddenly got that burst of power to stop Grimmjow. It wasn't an asspull, he always had that strength in him this entire fight, he was just holding back a lot for Orihime's sake. And also partly because he's also afraid of what he'll potentially become if he succumbs to his hollow instincts. It's such a beautifully written fight that speaks about how true strength comes from the heart.
IMO i also think he holds back coz he's scared that what he thinks Orihime's thinking could be true, that he's just a monster inside and he's bound to become one. I guess with great power does come with great responsibilities
I love this fight so much and it's my 2nd favorite, because of Orihime's involvement. She wasn't for a single moment a distraction, but a "boost" for Ichigo the moment she said something to him which gave him a sense of "peace of mind" and calmed him down and his emotions for his power to level out slightly, which you almost NEVER see anybody do with a heroine and Kubo did it BEAUTIFULLY. It also speaks VOLUMES about their relationship as well, and what Orihime means to Ichigo :)
If someone said ichigo won bcoz of plot armor literally havent seen the show Ichigo was holding back the entire fight because of orihime He even said at the beginning of fight to orihime " are u afraid its hard not to be afraid when I look like this " ichigo knew orihime was having flashbacks of her dead brother who became hollow after his death and tried to kill her afterwards and basically killed her removed her soul from her body after seeing ichigo hollowfication and orihime have such a traumatic past And ichigo was on defense because grimmjow triggered orihime 2 times in the fight once he fired a gran rey cero at her and second he shot 6 gaja de pantera at her and ichigo have to take the shots and gran rey cero head on The words of orihime made ichigo snap out When she said dont get hurt And remember ichigo performance in battle heavily depends on his mental State...
@@og_killa2482 idc she is just a normal high school girl u can find anywhere... Her parents were abusive when she was little her brother ran away when he turn 18 and he died too ....became hollow and tried to kill her and her friend too so yeah i can see her how she was feeling .... And she wasnt annoying in that arc ...she never said kurosaki kun in manga that much anime made her ...
I don't think Ichigo was really "holding back", i just think that because of what Orihime said he got kind of a burst of adrenaline/power to surpass his limits and win the fight. From what i saw from this fight, Ichigo with the mask was always basically one step behind Grimmjow's release form, even if he didn't have to protect Orihime.
Been watching you guys since you started the series and now you know why so many people love bleach but the best is yet to come, im sure you are even saying Grimmjow is one of the best characters too hes just so energetic and cool. ty for the reactions as always
You can tell the difference in Ichigo’s physical state by his mask. It started to crack on its own, but he was able to restore it, showing that his power was more stable than before. He started taking a beating by Grimmjow and the mask took damage, but remained because it wasn’t breaking due to a limit. He didn’t get a power boost because Orihime cheered him on, but he got nerfed when he saw Orihime afraid of him. He broke free of that when she showed she wasn’t afraid anymore.
Orihime reaction to Ichigo is because of how strong and dark the spiritual pressure is as how Halibel described of being that of an Espada And her experience with her brother being a Hollow and unable to keep his sanity and became someone different And that Ichigo simply just wanted to fight these strong people which honestly isn't wrong. Ichigo does want to fight them All of these is what made her felt fear
If you remember when Ichigo first gained control of his mask, his hollow lectured him about instinct. I think it's just implied that his mask starts to stay on because Grimmjow is his proper rival. It's not a battle of saving Orihime, it's a battle of pure instinct.
[Tidbits & Clarifications] - You may have forgotten but early in Bleach we learned that coming close to death increases a characters strength, and Ichigo got VERY close to death here - Ichigo's reaction to Orihime being afraid of him is very important, Ichigo at his core fights to protect, and a shinigami's state of mind affects their Zanpaktou, It's not good if Ichigo is fighting in a state where he feels he's affecting his loved ones in a negative way. That's why when Orihime chooses to cheer him on it's so important, in the moment he not only stops feeling as if he's burderning his precious friend but he also reaffirms his main purpose, which would put his mind and soul at ease (which again is very important for Shinigami because it affects their Zanpaktou) - The cool part about Arrancars Releasing is that it gives extra context about what they symbolize, that's why grimmjow acts in the way he does because his characteristics are symbolic of a panther on the hunt. This is done with all the Espada by the way. - The line is a very important Line for this arc: "It's almost as if I'm watching a battle between Espada" This line is supposed to pair perfectly with the line grimmjow said: "you came to fight" Ichigo began the arc being afraid of and in opposition to everything about his hollow parts...but he continually relies on it to improve and advance forward, he even accidentally admits to wanting to fight Grimmjow at full power, this means that Ichigo fights for more than just protecting. - Another aspect that is often forgotten by this part is that when Ulquiorra 1st met Ichigo he told us that Ichigo Spiritual Pressure when at it's highest is higher than his but it fluctuates. This means Ichigo already has the potential energy needed to defeat #4, he just doesn't have the skill or experience, but since he's been fighting he's getting closer.
One detail that it seems you guys didn't know or forgot is that Soul reapers are like Saiyans so, when they're close to death they get a boost. In Ulquiorra's encounter Ichigo nearly died so that's why he leveled up. plus another cool thing that will be explain in up-coming episodes. Can't wait for you guys to catch up with current season.. the animation? Demon slayer quality for a slight reference. Brian you were right in the last part of the vid, ichigo's power are heavily based on his emotions, Remember the 'I hate the rain' talk with Old man Zangetsu.
as you can also see ichigo bankai has also level up a bit he is now able to keep up with grimmjow non release or basic form thanks to Ulqiuorras clash with ichigo which gave him a bit of boost in power.
it was a smart move from Grimmjow to trap Ulqiuorra in that prison atleast for some hours because you and i both no he stood no chance against Ulqiuorra.
Brian, Stephanie, I Remembered, I wanted to ask you to Watch a older series, I really liked when It was released, it's Called Black Rock Shooter, Is short but It has a very interesting story, last year was released a second Black Rock Shooter series, but I didn't watched It Yet. Let me know if you are interested and I'll ask It at the other subscribers, what you think should they Watch Black Rock Shooter ?
Blame the anime for making her more annoying than she really is. The manga makes characters feel more natural and validated for feeling the way they do. And she doesn’t say Kurosaki-kun every 10 seconds.
How she's annoying to you?you guys foreigners is so fking weird..there are not a single Japanese that think Inoue as annoying,us in Japan love her character..there are something wrong with you guys mind ..maybe the definition of annoying is so different between Japanese and you guys foreigners because you think certain character is annoying despite its a good character for us and think certain character is good despite its annoying to us..

I swear I always get excited once you upload most underrated creators on UA-cam
#third Thank you so much!
@sowhat2562Wth is ur pfp???
Orihime: Stop losing!
Ichigo: Ok
That soundtrack when Grimmjow release his zanpakuto, Power to strive, is honestly one of the best in all of Bleach !! It's so glorious...Also his ressurection is top 3 really, both in transformation and design !!
Power to strive makes me feel powerful, like a warrior 😂

@@gabsterrivera5674 Yeah for sure.
Also adding to that's he's fighting with the power that got his mother killed
@@PinchC101wow such a great point
In the manga there are additional panels that show that Ichigo is holding himself back the whole time too
I love this fight so much and it's my 2nd favorite, because of Orihime's involvement. She wasn't for a single moment a distraction, but a "boost" for Ichigo the moment she said something to him which gave him a sense of "peace of mind" and calmed him down and his emotions for his power to level out slightly, which you almost NEVER see anybody do with a heroine and Kubo did it BEAUTIFULLY. It also speaks VOLUMES about their relationship as well, and what Orihime means to Ichigo :)
I can watch this Orihime scene a thousand times and I will always get emotional. 🧡 She is one of my favorite Bleach characters.
Bread Queen Supremacy.
If someone said ichigo won bcoz of plot armor literally havent seen the show
Ichigo was holding back the entire fight because of orihime
He even said at the beginning of fight to orihime
" are u afraid its hard not to be afraid when I look like this "
ichigo knew orihime was having flashbacks of her dead brother who became hollow after his death and tried to kill her afterwards and basically killed her removed her soul from her body after seeing ichigo hollowfication
and orihime have such a traumatic past
And ichigo was on defense because grimmjow triggered orihime 2 times in the fight once he fired a gran rey cero at her and second he shot 6 gaja de pantera at her and ichigo have to take the shots and gran rey cero head on
The words of orihime made ichigo snap out
When she said dont get hurt
And remember ichigo performance in battle heavily depends on his mental State...
orihime is so lame...
@@og_killa2482 idc she is just a normal high school girl u can find anywhere...
Her parents were abusive when she was little her brother ran away when he turn 18 and he died too ....became hollow and tried to kill her and her friend too so yeah i can see her how she was feeling ....
And she wasnt annoying in that arc ...she never said kurosaki kun in manga that much anime made her ...

i just love grimmjow.
Grimmjow is a fantastic character and this fight its one of my favorite from all Bleach.
Been watching you guys since you started the series and now you know why so many people love bleach but the best is yet to come, im sure you are even saying Grimmjow is one of the best characters too hes just so energetic and cool. ty for the reactions as always
You can tell the difference in Ichigo’s physical state by his mask. It started to crack on its own, but he was able to restore it, showing that his power was more stable than before. He started taking a beating by Grimmjow and the mask took damage, but remained because it wasn’t breaking due to a limit. He didn’t get a power boost because Orihime cheered him on, but he got nerfed when he saw Orihime afraid of him. He broke free of that when she showed she wasn’t afraid anymore.
Imo I think Orihime was drawn the best in this episode out of all episodes. Especially at the moment where she teared up
Also during Ichigo vs Ulquiorra when she cries for Ichigo to help she looked beautiful in that shot
I know I watched this like a hundred times but that orihime scene that gave Ichigo the will to win is my favorite bleach episode.
1000% one of my absolute favorites as well :D
Orihime reaction to Ichigo is because of how strong and dark the spiritual pressure is as how Halibel described of being that of an Espada
And her experience with her brother being a Hollow and unable to keep his sanity and became someone different
And that Ichigo simply just wanted to fight these strong people which honestly isn't wrong. Ichigo does want to fight them
All of these is what made her felt fear
The form of Grim after releasing is just cool
If you remember when Ichigo first gained control of his mask, his hollow lectured him about instinct. I think it's just implied that his mask starts to stay on because Grimmjow is his proper rival. It's not a battle of saving Orihime, it's a battle of pure instinct.
[Tidbits & Clarifications]
- You may have forgotten but early in Bleach we learned that coming close to death increases a characters strength, and Ichigo got VERY close to death here
- Ichigo's reaction to Orihime being afraid of him is very important, Ichigo at his core fights to protect, and a shinigami's state of mind affects their Zanpaktou, It's not good if Ichigo is fighting in a state where he feels he's affecting his loved ones in a negative way.
That's why when Orihime chooses to cheer him on it's so important, in the moment he not only stops feeling as if he's burderning his precious friend but he also reaffirms his main purpose, which would put his mind and soul at ease
(which again is very important for Shinigami because it affects their Zanpaktou)
- The cool part about Arrancars Releasing is that it gives extra context about what they symbolize, that's why grimmjow acts in the way he does because his characteristics are symbolic of a panther on the hunt. This is done with all the Espada by the way.
- The line is a very important Line for this arc:
"It's almost as if I'm watching a battle between Espada"
This line is supposed to pair perfectly with the line grimmjow said: "you came to fight"
Ichigo began the arc being afraid of and in opposition to everything about his hollow parts...but he continually relies on it to improve and advance forward, he even accidentally admits to wanting to fight Grimmjow at full power, this means that Ichigo fights for more than just protecting.
- Another aspect that is often forgotten by this part is that when Ulquiorra 1st met Ichigo he told us that Ichigo Spiritual Pressure when at it's highest is higher than his but it fluctuates. This means Ichigo already has the potential energy needed to defeat #4, he just doesn't have the skill or experience, but since he's been fighting he's getting closer.
Plot armor insane
You mean for Grimmy
Let's goooo more bleach 🎉
#second
Ulqiorra got outwitted and sent to the prison realm
One detail that it seems you guys didn't know or forgot is that Soul reapers are like Saiyans so, when they're close to death they get a boost. In Ulquiorra's encounter Ichigo nearly died so that's why he leveled up. plus another cool thing that will be explain in up-coming episodes. Can't wait for you guys to catch up with current season.. the animation? Demon slayer quality for a slight reference.
Brian you were right in the last part of the vid, ichigo's power are heavily based on his emotions, Remember the 'I hate the rain' talk with Old man Zangetsu.
I remember now that you guys watched episodes in the sub. I appreciate that about you two. 😊
Orihime : Kurosaki-kun please don't get hurt
Ichigo : Okay babe
This fight is 🔥
i love when inoue told ichogo dont die
Grimmjow, the Blue Panther 💙
Maybe Ichigo's mask got stronger because he is in Hueco Mundo.
as you can also see ichigo bankai has also level up a bit he is now able to keep up with grimmjow non release or basic form thanks to Ulqiuorras clash with ichigo which gave him a bit of boost in power.
Also, as for Ulquiorra being emotionless, there's a reason for that. It's one of my favourite bits about the Espada lore.
it was a smart move from Grimmjow to trap Ulqiuorra in that prison atleast for some hours because you and i both no he stood no chance against Ulqiuorra.
That was so crazy.
Dont underestimate the durability and endurance of the espadas 😅
This is author's fav fight
The power of orihime word 😂
I wait for it ❤❤❤
I’m like Brian Ulquiorra is just cool, him and Stark are my favorites.
wish u guys watched 167 also in same video. becz nxt ep is heat
Can’t wait for you both to reach tybw
Cant wait for next episode ❤
I think itchigo mask changing it's pattern
Please more bleach
اكبر تسليك لقوة الصداقه ~
Hi loves your video❤, i'm from Indonesia

Brian, Stephanie, I Remembered, I wanted to ask you to Watch a older series, I really liked when It was released, it's Called Black Rock Shooter, Is short but It has a very interesting story, last year was released a second Black Rock Shooter series, but I didn't watched It Yet. Let me know if you are interested and I'll ask It at the other subscribers, what you think should they Watch Black Rock Shooter ?
They will not continue to react to fumetsu no anata e?.
Can't wait to see Grimmjow fight scene to be animated in TYBW
You guys sure know how to react!
Les goo
Yeah, ichigo power is really affected by his mentality
Hype
It's crazy to imagine how thousand year blood war Ichiro would not even think this was a real fight.
Holla❤
Hola
Next ep plss
Hi
#first Hello
and now the dreaded filler episodes
This is not the best fight though 💀
Ngl they could of went way harder with this fight instead they made it a silly learning lesson wasn't a big fan tbh. orihime is so crap and annoying.
massive L
Blame the anime for making her more annoying than she really is. The manga makes characters feel more natural and validated for feeling the way they do. And she doesn’t say Kurosaki-kun every 10 seconds.
@@iReiGNxx u right, i remember her character more from the manga as i just watched the anime for the fights
@@iReiGNxx yeah pretty annoying lol
How she's annoying to you?you guys foreigners is so fking weird..there are not a single Japanese that think Inoue as annoying,us in Japan love her character..there are something wrong with you guys mind ..maybe the definition of annoying is so different between Japanese and you guys foreigners because you think certain character is annoying despite its a good character for us and think certain character is good despite its annoying to us..
