It's a shorter review this week! Despite episode 9 technically covering 4 chapters, it actually only adapted 3.5, making it the episode to tackle the least amount of material yet. Despite that, there's plenty of awesome stuff this week - what was your favourite moment? Let me know!
Honestly this episode was pretty good to me, obviously I loved the Kenpachi and Unohana stuff, but also Shunsui at Central 46 and even just Ichigo and Renji interacting were very very nice
Shunsui telling central 46 to F*ck off was amazing.
Just saw the rough draft for the fight next week. It's gonna be extended compared to the manga and we might get the use of Minazuki bankai
I'm happy the TYBW is finally animated and we are at my favorite fight too with MY Wife Unohana :)
Belonging to the invention of kons: did no one else watch the bount arch?
Still think the voice actress did a great job shifting from Retsu the healer to Yachiru the Kenpachi with her vocal tone.
10/10 job
the part where she says "How dare you admire the enemy amid battle!" gave me chills for the rest of the episode and a few minutes after, what an amazing job
@@ysyear for me it was hearing her basically says to kenny she prefers when she doesnt speak. As her scar aches from hearing kenny's voice. That moment kinda brought back a flurry of flashbacks to all the times unohana mom'd tf out of kenny. The pure tolerance she has shows. From a pure blood lust craved serial killer to the delicate yet scary authoritative healer who seemed as she could do no real harm. But I hope the english voice acting is as great as the source. Truly great skills.
that " so weak" sounds cold to me..and i love it.i hopw they will.expand more on how cols.of a kenpachi she is
Cant wait to hear it in english dub...
Unohana being the first kenpachi will always be my fav plot twist in bleach. And I still can't believe we are watching it after so many years, I feel like I'm a kid again
Fav bleach UA-camr you can tell he really loves the anime
Oh my god yes his content is amazing I trust him more than anyone else when it comes to Bleach
Same here, hes my favourite bleach youtuber. He's well balanced and does point out wuen he's not happy about something regarding bleach.
For real. None of my friends watch Bleach, so it’s so fun to watch his videos and see another fan who’s really excited about and genuinely likes Bleach. :)
He doesn't just love the anime, he loves Bleach as a whole. And that's why his content is so terrific
He has a real passion for Bleach and he speaks really well and makes great insightful points, i love all of his content
When unohana screamed "how dare you admire the enemy amidst the battle" I HAD GOOSEBUMPS
The transitions between the two demons and their lieutenants impacted the fight between the two kenpanchis greatly.
Isane crying and yachiru seeing Kenny's eye patch,all of this along with the music that played at this part of the episode made it so tragic and sad..
It really showed that this wasn't just a simple training match but a death battle where one will die and the other will significantly grow from it
Sad? That ost playing made it epic 😭 Unless u was talking about the ost playing during the little flashback?
"How dare you admire your enemy amidst battle?" Is such a rad line it just goes to show how abnormal Kenpachi is.
In a real world fight humanizing your enemy is one of the surest ways of weakening your mental fortitude, that may be one of the reasons for the shift from Yachiru to Retsu Unohana, whereas Zaraki Kenpachi is the kind of guy that would kill *precisely* because he admires you.
This is retarded weeb shit. Read storm of steel if you want to know how a real warrior thinks. Much cooler to admire an enemy and overcome that admiration and experience transcendence by vanquishing that which you admire.
The episode ending on unohana mentioning her biggest sin is perfect since it adds and creates a lot of excitement about their backstory, their fight,her sin..
I have been in awe with the animation so far and I believe her bankai will be animated gorgeously.
and still not explained (her bankai)
I love the way that Yachiru's movements are animated. Slow, methodical, graceful. A true predator stepping through a dance of certain death. This anime is a blessing from the heavens.
"Thousand year blood war was just a series of crazy events, just one after the other."
Yeah, that's what I'm here for.
Unohana is not pleased about this fight. She's tortured, physically aching and remorseful toward what she did to Zaraki. That's not a turning creepy smile. It's a ghost. She's in hell, and she no longer has any reason to hide that because only Zaraki will be leaving. She also knows what will be required to remove Zaraki's limits and restore his strength, and she pities him for it.
So well put!
Well said. In a way, Yachiru Unohana "died" with Retsu Unohana. There's no other way she could suppress her desire for bloodshed; for all we know, Tenjiro may have treated her mental health, as well, causing her to finally experience empathy, which causes Yachiru's "death".
She's just making a cameo to help Zaraki.
Now anime watchers know why almost every soul reaper is afraid of Unohana, despite having a sweet smile.
I’m also glad they moved the introduction of Oetsu Nimaiya to later episode instead of cramming it all in one.
She’s definitely wayyy stronger than base Zaraki
It also explains why Aizen and that one arrancar decided to leave rather than deal with Unohana. Aizen knows it would a rough battle and the arrancar just let's Unohana do her medic things to stay alive
For me that was a plothole why the Quincies didn't kill or even attack Unohana when clearly a thousand years ago he saw her in Battle
@@alvin081988 either it was a case of Squad 4’s whereabouts being unknown or he simply knew nobody there could’ve handled Unohana and her true nature.
@@alvin081988 Uh I can't think of a few options. Either he didn't had the info that Retsu and Yachiru were the same person (I mean her personality and role shift is so absurd that it's a plausible assumption for me) or he didn't had any personal capable of dealing with her atm. Unohana should theoretically be only one tier bellow Yamamoto and Ywhach said that only himself could deal with Yamamoto so the number of Sternritters that could deal with her was limited and he rather used them to havoc the rest of the Gotei 13 instead of concentrating too much resources in a single person
This episode probably has the best pacing so far. The decision to hold Oetsu’s intro for later was very smart and the overall flow didn’t feel rushed at any point.
Episode 8 felt a little crammed but there was a lot to unpack if we’re being fair.
Sorry for your loss Isane :( RIP to MY Wife Unohana :(
Bro your dedication is absurd. i've seen almost all your videos, you are my Light when it comes to Bleach. Your eyes shine when you talk about it, the passion you transmit is overwhelming! Your job is LOVED here overseas in Europe, keep it up my friend!
I really love the fact that Unohana is THE first kempachi( I was shocked when I saw her face going from nice person to bloodthirsty psychopath ) and the fact that she is the only one to tech Zaraki the art of the sword is something else. Can't wait to see the full fight from beginning to end.
I strongly expect the final scene of the Season to be Uryu being revealed as having joined the Wandenreich, to bring together all of his extra scenes. It's the single biggest cliff hanger they could have in my mind.
Same that’s gonna be a big one for anime onlys but i feel like that’s still far away? I can’t rmb when he was revealed.
@@ericaung9015 When they went to the SK palace. Ichigo was fighting 1v8 as he went after Yhwach only to find out who he was with aside from Jugram, Uryu.
It would be such a great reavel if the intro didin't spoiled it
@@ericaung9015 iirc it happens right after Everything But the Rain, before Ichigo heads back to the Soul Palace
@@jrdnbly93 yeah uryu is revealed to be with yhwach in 537
I like how they show her face in Muken, it's practically a jump scare. She looks so different from the gentle and motherly healer we've come to know, I think it works really well cutting straight to it. It's like you blinked and then realized she's already stabbed you through the heart.
Hopefully they have extra content for Unohana's bankai. I have faith in Kubo that he won't skip it in the anime too.
My favorite part of the fight is the sound design, just the OST aligning with the movement of the battle. Especially the part when Unohana gets pushed back and a cloud of dust follows her trail and you hear the music become very eerie and sinister along with her stance.
It is truly perfect
I hope they give us the best fight yet, I think they will and thats saying alot because Yama vs Yhwach and Ichigo vs Yhwach were already incredible. This is just a pure savage battle. The choreography of the sword play and movements will definitely be spot on.
I hope they do Unohanas Bankai justice too.
Thanks for the consistent bleach content even without the anime you were covering this awesome series
That's because he was always a true believer. Excellent!
Shunsui getting promoted and Unohana fighting Zaraki was insane 🔥
Such a power gap between the new and old head captain. I can't get over it.
It is like a 6 year old being told to play in the nhl because ovechkin retired
WE SAW TEARS IN ZARAKI EYES
TEAARSS !! !! ! !!! !
CAN'T BELIEVE WE GOT THIS ANIMATED AFTER SO LONG
It's kind of sad that Kenpachi Zaraki just sees himself as a criminal going to hell and nothing more.
Kenpachi who?
One of my favorite details is how Unohana’s scar is always present in basically every shot of her, rather than the manga where it’s still obstructed a lot of the time
Kinda off topic but damn, you're vocabulary is astonishing. Never really saw a anime UA-camr with such unique way of describing things
I remember Aizen destroying Hitsugaya back during the Soul Society Arc and I always wondered why he didn’t want to mess with Unohana. It all makes sense now 😅
I can't wait for these videos each week!
Tite Kubo said earlier this year that he was working with the anime team to create the visual of Unohana’s Bankai so I’m really looking forward! He will probably tell them what to show, how she fight with it (maybe new anime fight scene?) what color he want etc…
We will have the staff for next episode really soon so I really hope we will get talented people next week. Thanks for the review as always.
Hopefully he’ll add an explanation.
I commented your live reaction video, so here I'll only say one thing: SO EXCITED FOR NEXT WEEK.
You know what would be amazing, splicing shots of kenpachi vs unohana with shots of kid zaraki vs yachiru all obito vs Kakashi style.
The would be fucking incredible.
Of course, would absolutely love an explanation on wtf her bankai is. That'd be nice too.
Aside from a new TYBW episode each week. I always look forward to your episode breakdowns!
Decades from now when I remember Bleach, you gon be the first thing that comes to mind.You're the best dude❤️❤️❤️
I love these breakdowns. Really adds to my appreciation and understanding of the series. As an anime only fan these are great.
I LOVE the transition from matron to psycho! I've been waiting for years to see this animated.
Best Bleach UA-camr by far your videos are great
Dang I got on here early. Excited to see your breakdown :)
I love this it’s everything I’ve ever wanted I can’t wait to see
The atmosphere and impact of the fight was phenomenal.
Unohana is my favorite captain and her story along with the original Gotei could be a movie by itself
Please mr tommo do this kind of video in all coming episodes. I understand everything with you 😅
Here early! Hi! I love your content so much I really wish I’d been a part of the wider Bleach community a long time ago so I could have experienced the manga with you
I think the next episode should start with flashbacks of Unohana and Zaraki and be devoted entirely to their fight. Like Yamamoto vs Yhwach in episode 6.
love the videos
As always amazing video
I've been anticipating this video 😁😁😁🥳🥳🥳🥳
The Zero Division talking scenes are not going to get as much quality as Kenpachi vs Unohana. It’s as simple as that.. They probably had two separate teams working on the talking & action scenes respectively.
Waiting on DBS to start back up been a GREAT last few years in anime, the big three taking over one piece, Boruto (Naruto) and now bleach having the tybw animated with DBS right around the corner, it's surreal as a 90s kid seeing the classics still dominate
I hope for next episode the vast majority of the episode is just the battle between the kenpachis. While the last 4 minutes is the intro to Oetsu Nimaiya where we are left with both Ichigo and Renji looking confused. overall I love how they rearranged these chapters.
It's a shame that Unohana didn't show anything in the arrancar or soul society arc. She could have fought alongside Yamamoto for the last time. Honoring the old times with her comrade.
She would have just died without ever repenting for her original sin.
You will really says this in every Bleach video of this episode? Just deal with it, She was not suppose to fight arrancars her job was to be a HEALER.
I rmr reading this during the manga era and it was such a jaw dropping reveal. Coming from one of the Big 3 animes, this was such legendary moment.
"Sakuranosuke" (総蔵佐) is the _correct_ middle name of Shunsui. "Souzouza" is a mistranslation in the manga fan translation. For Japanese names, the correct pronunciation of the kanji is unknown if not indicated. In the original Japanese Bleach manga, the kanji are normally accompanied with furigana that is written in hiragana to indicate the pronunciation. But in Chapter 520, Shunsui's full name isn't accompanied with any furigana so there was no way to correctly deduce the pronunciation. Then, Chapter 649 came out and Katen Kyōkotsu calls Shunsui by his middle name 総蔵佐 along with the furigana "さくらのすけ" (sakuranosuke).
Unohana's monstrous side being revealed will always be the most jarring revelation of the series even with the telltale hints. No one would suspect such a kind angel of mercy and healing is a mass murdering psychopath. The actress was great in swapping both personalities.
There are many more 'jarring' revelations, especially regarding Ichigo's true power. What did Unohana actually do the whole of Bleach? She did nothing with the Arrancars, did nothing with Quincy, and just trained Zaraki and died.
@@-------....___ yo, put some respeck on Yachiru Unohanas name
I think cour 1 ending with the Yhwach/Zangetsu reveal would be a good move for the anime. It leaves enough space for Everything But The Rain arc and also hype up the next cour by dropping one of the most shocking plot twists in the series.
Ichigo’s true zanpakuto reveal would be nice too. Also uryu joining the sternritter would be a big twist but idk if we might get to that chapter
21:47 I've seen plenty of reaction videos from anime only fans and I can guarantee to you: The same bone-chilling effect that panel gave us is the same bone-chilling effect that frozen frame gave them. The more I watched people experience her face, the more it made sense to me.
Can we talk about how this man’s descriptive language 😂
You can’t help but watch the whole video cause he makes it sound like it’s something more than what is going on.
Well done
Next week gonna hit hard
Episode 10 is looking like another banger. Minazuki, Death and hearing *his* voice for the first time in the anime
They should do a Bleach series featuring the origina 13l and Unohana getting lots of action..
I think the English translation for Unohana's poem comes across as pretty simple, but if you know a little Japanese it comes across pretty poetically. The poem is 戦い こそ すべて (tatakai koso subete) 戦い or tatakai simply means battle, すべて or subete means everything, but the こそ (koso) basically emphasizes the thing that precedes it (tatakai or battle in this case). This is a pretty general explanation of こそ (koso), but there's not really an English equivalent for it.
Probably one of my favorite poems thus far for its conciseness!
Lmao, they placed buff Kon like that without any context, except for that little scene where Ichigo sees for a brief time that Kon is in the 12th Division it's just completely random, at this point they could literally remove him overall and it would make more sense.
Second weird thing, i think showing Unohana in the OG flashback with that wicked look so clear was kinda destroying the overall surprise. We knew in manga that she waqs there in the old times, but see her real personality like it was in the manga was kinda more surprising.
Other then that, it was actually a good move to get rid of Oetsu segment to move it to the next episode.
Regarding the art from the first half, some of the scenes were outsourced to freelancers outside of studio Pierrot. You can find one of them in the Bleach subreddit discord if you want to talk to him.
"Hoping they turn it up to Eleven next week". That seems like a perfect way to ask for it
I did not see this coming! Episode was fantastic though 👌
feels like they're taking their own direction and trying to make the most sense out of the manga content by piecing it together in a way which makes sense. I think we can all see that the last arc is rushed after the 1st invasion ends and maybe Kubo just kept filling pages with stuff trying to move the story along as fast as he could to the end. The reason I say this is the awkward pacing we see in the manga itself and how many fights end off screen.
would be nice to add how was the community at the release of those chapters, what was the hot topic everyone was talking about or something in regards to Kubo in those times
I expect 10 to focus on the tow Kenpachi mainly with some posible extra content covering their past ending with the cliffhanger of Zaraki hearing his zanpakutou for the first time, 11 to cover Ichigo and Renji's training and some scenes that would have been moved to keep the flow and focus on the previous episode , then 12 start with Ichigo getting kicked out and starting the everything but the rain part probably carrying on to 13 and the the anime ending with Ichigo telling his dad he was leaving after learning about his parents, so the next season starts with all the less serious scene of "how do you plan to go back?", either that or ending with Ichigo finally accepting White to close this season with.
I did consider getting to the Ichigo getting his new Zangetsus but that would mean stuff would have to be rushed to get there so I did a more conservative prediction, the who is really Old Man revelation could indeed be a good cliffhanger to leave things on!
I hope the next chapter is mostly based on the Kenpachi battle with it beginning with their fight in the past. Maybe they could give us more insight into Unohana's Bankai as well. Hopefully.
21:43
Yeah I would agree with you here. I thought it'd be an eerie zoom in to her face turning around but nonetheless it's not a big deal
i belive the writers want the anime to have a good pacing between action and relief , exposition points so one dosen't predominate too much last week ep was a relief exposition ep so they made this one have more action in the 2nd half. next ep will feature the entire kenpachis fight and the rest of 122,123. if the anime is too slow then people lose interst fast in it and get bored, so you need a good mix between action and everything else
18:39 never noticed that he had a iPhone until now. XD
I think the first cour will end with the yhwach talking about the Quincy song poem and complaining the last words that were cut out from the beginning of the first episode.
I’m pretty sure that’s were it’s going otherwise they wouldn’t have shown it like that.
But that’s just my opinion and who knows how they’ll end it. Just got to wait and see.
"And seeing those luscious-"
Me: He's not going to say what I think he is, is he?
"bowls of food"
Me: ...yeah. The food. Of course that's what he meant. Nothing else luscious in that scene...
I think episode 10 will go as follows: we start with Nimaiya segment up until Ichigo and Renji about to fight the asauchi. I think it could be covered within the first 7-10 minutes easily.
The rest of the episode will be Unohana and Zaraki fight, their flashback, long awaited Unohana's bankai and the episode ends with Zaraki killing her and hearing the voice of his zanpakuto. Then the end credits go and we see post-credit scene with Nimaiya saying that Renji passes while Ichigo doesn't.
Episode 11 may start with Ichigo being in shock and Nimaiya sending him to the human world. Then we see the opening and Everything But The Rain portion starts.
As for the ending of part one of this arc, I think we do see how Ichigo finally obtains his dual Zangetsu and then says the line. But I thing the final scene will be Yhwach assembling his forces for the second invasion and revealing the new Sternritter - Ishida.
And that will be our cliffhanger untill the anime continues.
24:08 When the letter from your boss isn’t a promotion.
Oh wait.
My fav line
今のあなたには力がない
The translated it as “right now you are weak”
BUT really it’s more like
“Regarding the present you, power doesn’t exist!”
I was SCREAMING when she said that and she was so COLD BLOODED!
I think I know what the issue is with the art in the royal palace. It almost looks like the characters are glowing. It's like editing a photo, but you decrease the contrast and increase the exposure. At least that's how the characters in the royal palace appear to me
Please put the call to action later on in the video. That is all. Great vid.
Thanks
I love how the people laying out the anime have to be huge Bleach fans. They read the source material and figured out how it should laid out to now cause confusion, while still staying almost identical to the source. As much as I loved reading it when it first came out, the anime is being put together so much better, and I'm hoping the final battle will get a little more love than Tite got to end it.
14:00 no,it doesn't seem inconsequential. To me,it reminds me just how thorough and 4-dimensional Kubo is as a writer. He has a very balanced knowledge of what his fans want BUT also what his story needs.
I predict Episode 13 will have a post credits scene of the conclusion of Prinz Von Licht
which will be moved to AFTER 542.
I also think the Captains training should largely be moved to the Second Cour.
Maybe a small cameo would be fine but
I think by moving their training to the Second Cour it would give more breathing room and it would help build up hype for the second invasion especially if the Captains training is juxtaposed with the Sternritter.
I like the theory that Mugen only has 1 floor and Aizen is somewhere with chair-sama watching these two going at it while thinking "sure glad I dipped when she inspected that fake dead body of mine"
15:25 he is also older than Ichigo (or at least I assumed he was older dispite him looking the same age, in my head it’s kinda like looking at an elf and thinking they are the same age because they look the same age as you) I always assumed that most of the Soul Reapers were quite a bit older than our hero’s from earth even if it’s only like 50 or so years older than Ichigo of course when your life is measured in thousands of years what is a mere 50 years.
Eat, drink and be merry for tomorrow we all die is quite a fitting line here.
In a way, Yachiru Unohana "died" with Retsu Unohana. There's no other way she could suppress her desire for bloodshed; for all we know, Tenjiro may have treated her mental health, as well, causing her to finally experience empathy, which causes Yachiru's "death".
She's just making a cameo to help Zaraki, just a ghost.
Fun Fact: the characters for "Yachiru" literally translate to "8,000 Styles/Schools", refering to her vast knowledge of Zanjutsu.
Though I'm a long time bleach fan im ashamed to admit that I don't really know what a gikon is. Could ya do a vid explaining all that and mod souls too?
I could be wrong, but I believe the track that plays during the Kenpachi fight is the same as the one that starts up when Yamamoto activates his bankai.
I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed the changes in quality throughout the episode. Seeing Ichigo chow down like Goku, Luffy, and Naruto is something I never thought I would see 😅
Thats how you know the training arc is about to start 😄
This fight is cool and all, but Everything But The Rain is what I'm really waiting for. Really hope they nail it, because for me it's one of the peaks of the series.
Wait when does this season end? And when will the next begin if that's the case
I wasn't sure how I felt about them reusing that shot of the OG 13 again... but, that's mostly because I already knew everything going in. From the perspective of an anime-only not necessarily putting together that Unohana was part of the OG 13, having the scene play again to show that, yes, she is there makes more sense.
So excited 4 the neXt episode
Speaking of seeing a little more of Kenpachi Giganjo, what if we got like a glimpse of the whole history of all the Kenpachi there ever were? that'd be pretty sick!
As much as I am particular in crticizing animation in anime, the voice acting is a major part in enliving the moments in a story-telling show, and Bleach proved to be one of the best series to have vero good VAs. And of course it's Unohana's who wins for this episode
I feel like they are going for a "half whats happening in the royal palace/half what's happening in sereitei" per episode to give the idea that stuff is happening in multiple places at the same time as everyone gets ready for battle
Unohana v Zaraki being a 3 day fight, with everything she was doing, is ridiculous and understated lol.
those two guys with eye glasses look like one the og gotei 13 captains
I LOVE how they did My girl justice
My assumption for the reason for skipping oetsu is that they wanted to have those flashback teasers and start the episode with the flashback like they did with Yamamoto. In the first episode they show glimpes to make you speculate and the next you start right away. This is really effective for me I get really excited even if I know the future, Imagine if I was anime only.
I'm anime only and yes absolutely blown away every single week
Take a drink every time he says 522 lolol
Do you think episode 13 will end with ichigo getting his true Sword? or and episode 1 of season 2 will be the 2nd invasion?
