This guy deserves way more screentime and praise He's a wonderfully underrated character with so much untapped potential for philosophical themes and development within kubo's work because of what Kubo represents and how his ideals lend to his aesthetic as a true Death God.
Truth. His actions in the war also helped jumpstart Soul Society's era of change, with him saving the only reformist in Central 46's ranks. Nayura and Shunsui have made inroads rebuilding Soul Society but this time with an outreach and support for all, not just a select few.
Kira is cool. Him becoming a Undead Cyborg just made him even cooler. His view on battles is also a nice bit of writing that adds to a different perspective to the story.
I feel like the reason Kira was expelled since the beginning of the war is because he would have been utterly merciless with the Quincies. For good reason considering the scale of destruction and dead soul reapers. Especially what Bazz-B did to him. Kira’s Bankai would be too much of a dream to ask.
I hated not seeing Kira for so long in the last arc and at first, lamented 'Why him, sensei!' But after giving it some thought, I came to the same conclusion. I am always confused by fans that talk about Kira as some fluffy, timid emo kid because he is absolutely ruthless when pressed.
Izuru Kira a good Soul Reaper fighter. From hard times from his ex-captain Gin Ichimaru who wasn't a bad guy, just a confused man. Good friends with Momo, Renji, and Rukia to still fight hard without giving up from other sagas. From this one too...Ah yeah, how he is still alive is still beyond me. What luck on Izuru's end to be a good thing.
Izuru has always been one of my favorite characters despite his small screen time. His development gas been great. I liked how he became a main character during the anime only new captain arc and his fight with Redder is one of my favorites. The beheading was sick.
Sometimes I feel like he should be part of squad 4. Due to his decent healing skills and the underlying darkness. He could convince Unohana that her urge to fight and kill can be controlled for the better.
Rangiku getting this kind of love by Kubo would be amazing; itd be great to see her achieve Bankai get recommended for Captain then turn it down because she enjoys being Toshiros vice captain so much! 😂❤
According to Isshin, Rangiko is much of a burden 😆😆😆. Even Toshiro agreed. Also Rangiko always dont follow her captains order about alcoholic drinks. 😆😆😆. She always drunk with Kira.
I would love to see Kira's flashback with his parents and Gin , he didn't call Wabiskei's Shikai name, so he definitely achieved Bankai in the latest New Breathe From Hell One - Shot. I think if Gin returns in the upcoming Howling From The Jaws Of Hell arc, we should have both Kira & Rangiku team up against him!
I would like to say if Kubo did confirm we are going to see things in BLEACH like we never have before, then let's see Kiras bankai. Kira has been with us through each arc on this journey. I believe he is due for proper justice since being taken out at the start of the thousand year blood war arc. One joke I would like to mention as well is Aizens bankai. With his immense spiritual pressure, I could not begin to fathom how to power scale Aizens bankai. So for now, I'll just consider this suggestion regarding Aizens bankai as a joke, but would like to see it at the same time.
@malgorzataj6356 I'm sorry you feel that way. Maybe you should be long gone, and go find something else to do besides being disruptive during a discussion
@@malgorzataj6356 Kubo is still making Bleach content. We've gotten several light novels and other material, plus a new anime. He's currently working with Studio Pierrot on the 4th part of the Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War anime. It will have new scenes that weren't in the manga and probably won't air until early 2026.
What if they moved the Shaz Domino fight to coincide with his against the Lille flamingos? That and all of the flamingos merging into one could push him into using bankai.
The fact that he has to undergo painfully gruesome 'maintenance' time stay alive courtesy of Mayuri really shows his personal cost regarding the war. His philosophy also runs sharply against many, who see war as perfect for 'proving' themselves or just fun. It's also funny how Soifon got immensely jealous at him and Yoruichi interacting with each other in WDKALY. Ah Soifon.
Kind of feel like Kira should've stayed dead since a lot of the Soul Reaper deaths were characters who weren't that well developed or who we were really attached too I mean Yamamoto: Yeah he was powerful and cool, but he was also a blind autocrat with tunnel vision who never objected to any of the crap Central 46 did even when Aizen was the one pulling the strings Chojiro: Literally never did anything in the series, even the fillers, Ukitake: Nice guy and certainly kind of sad, but again not given as much character as most of the other Bleach individuals we were shown Nemu: Not much there either. Atleast with Kira we got to know the guy quite extensively during the Soul Society Arc and even the Fake Karakura Town Arc.
I love the content here and am so happy to see this video! I think there is evidence that more than Kira's loyalty was exploited. I believe his care and protectiveness toward Momo were also exploited. I read Izuru's choice to reveal to Hitsugaya that Momo had been following them as Izuru's way of making sure Momo was protected despite Gin's appearant assurances that she would remain unharmed. The fact that Izuru was promised Hinamori's safety also suggests that Izuru knew much more about what was going on than we were shown, but that's kind of how Kubo-sensei operates, isn't it? He likes to leave it to readers to read between the lines and make theories! 😄 Kira has been my favorite character since the Soul Society arc, and I feel that he has been such a bit misunderstood (and under rated), especially by Western audiences. There's more I could add, but this comment is already too long as it is. I really hope the short from 13 Blades is animated in Cour 4 and definitely hope to see more of Izuru in the future!
Kira is easily in my Top 3 for favorite lieutenants. Underrated character and a cool lieutenant. He was a big part of why I ended up enjoying the New Captain filler arc. Where Squad 3 recieved a new captain (and 3rd seat) adter Gin's defection. Kira really got a chance to step up and show his mettle. You can't help but feel bad for the guy, he's one of the minor supporting cast members with an interesting philosophy. His personality and traits such as his indifference which is deemed frail lead him to have his authority as a leader questioned, which is actually how one of the villains of the new captain filler arc turn his own squad against him by one-upping him. Because Kira doesn't inspire the same kind of morale other lieutenants may, he's not as colorful or bombastic as the others. But the shortcomings of his personality proved to be assets that allowed him to squeeze out a win on even manipulative opponents like Kibune because he's so introspective and perceptive. The filler allowed a full showcase of Kira's personality, he is sometimes seen as a bore but his loyalty can't be denied no matter how much he gets undermined. I think it's interesting to have a soul reaper that grieves before, during, and after battle, and who can internally reflect, it definitely makes Kira unique and adds a humanistic edge to the setting. With other soul reapers, the affects of war seem to wash over them more easily. Kira definitely got a real sad, yet interesting ending. A gruesome injury that left him neither dead or alive. He's probably the only one that didn't really get any closure. It's not stated to my knowledge, but after several years it seems like Momo has moved on with her life despite that long list of trauma, and Rangiku got some form of closure regarding Gin. Not really Izuru, though, and now he walks as a reanimated corpse, tragic. But him being the bridge between life and death is cool, he'd know about it more than anyone else because he's one of the few in the show that truly understands the fragility of life and the weight of violence while also being incredibly pragmatic to the point of not glorifying battle even if it's for the greater good, brilliantly reflected in his Wabisuke and its abilities.
kira's my fave lieutenant, I like him having good balance in swordsmanship and kido that he uses in tandem compared to the others who specialize in just one aspect. outside of ones with bankai of course, kira felt to me the strongest lieutenant.
Gotta say seeing Kira a character that was Gin's most trusted man and that we haven't seen for a long time when TYBW started if I'll remember it right. How Kira's "the Dead man", can still stand and even fight and what he have on he's other side, did Mayuri helped Kira to stay alive? I was so glad to see Kira again to help other shinigamies and killed birds that looked like Lilla Barro's God form, but I still feel sad for Kira of that what happened to Gin it's the most saddest deaths in Bleach! 😢
Personally i wouldve waited to make this video until half way through cour 4 to see if we get extra content with kira battle vs lilli barro. Still great video
Kubo has an idea for Kira's bankai. Its probably just too broken. Probably a gravity bankai making him beyond regular captain level. all of the vizards at least.
9:42 Toshiro the fraud alert scam likely false prodigy stay talking big but never does shit i swear to the soul king 🤣 like Toshiro stfu u will never be Gin level lil bro.

Yo how did you get the substitute Soul reaper badge on your name? 😯
I want that Badge too ! ... How did u get it on your Name ?😊

He my favorite in war he cold with it ❤
Been waiting for an analysis of Kira's power. Thanks!

@Atticus-Catnipp he was a part of them but like others, wanted to move up in the ranks. It worked out well for him
@@mandalorianhunter1 I know just saying based off his kido skills. It would be useful
Really hoping they animate his fight with Shaz Domino. A literal battle between the two guys who were killed off too soon and earn their come back.
I agree with you here they are amzing l love orihime help him here❤
The fact kira can cut baro Easily in his intangible state that even kyoraku wish he can do that is something else.
Let's go I am really glad that kira got his time to shine in one of your videos. He has been one of my favs since his introduction

damn been waiting for this!
Underrated character 🤌
Always loved Kira, his personality is very familiar to me
"The foolish are cockstrong while the intelligent are full of doubt"
"Hey Orihime can you sort out this hole for me?" and like that all of Kira's non-PTSD related problems are solved.
Kind of feel like Kira should've stayed dead since a lot of the Soul Reaper deaths were characters who weren't that well developed or who we were really attached too I mean

Off topic, but that manga shot of Kira’s quote “echoes right through my hole” is crazy 😂 especially since Kira definitely gives sub bottom energy 😅

Izuru will always be the icon of the lieutenants
Ahhhh thank god you dropped something dog now I can watch this all day long.
Awesome, been waiting for izuru to be covered since your og character analysis series, any chance shuhei will get one in the future?
Kira fighting Shaz Domino would've been fun if animated.
Couldn't orihime use her powers to heal kira?
Ikr? Everytime.

Hello , it's me Simo Urahara, and I'm here to talk about Kira on DBZiran channel 😅
Personally i wouldve waited to make this video until half way through cour 4 to see if we get extra content with kira battle vs lilli barro.
Still great video
I wonder if Izu's shikai can become wider if his opponent's neck is thicker than its initial width.
Deidara is my favorite Bleach character
Kubo has an idea for Kira's bankai. Its probably just too broken. Probably a gravity bankai making him beyond regular captain level. all of the vizards at least.
Rangiko's favourite drinking buddy 😆😆😆
Can you do somwthing with starrk and lilynette
Nice shirts, bro, but why no heart hoodie in black? *sad Ulquiorra face*
(Now that I'm thinking about it, does Ulquiorra have a sad face? 🤔)
Mayuri can grow limbs and other organs back why didn’t he just do that for Kira 😂
I think he specifically modified his and and Nemus bodies for that. The tanks on the other hand idk
Hopefully he won’t start listening to My Chemical Romance.
Hopefully he does start. Good band.
Probably already does. Along with evanescence 🤢
If Kira is in the Soul Society, where are his parents who passsed away?
squad 3 has anime Leon Kennedy
squad 4 had anime Albert Wesker
I never liked this character until he became a Deadman. 😂
For some reason I thought the left one is Hashwaldo
No that is not Hashbrown, I can confirm it is Light Yagami aka Kira.
Nah hashbrown is chilling with his boyfriend
How many bleach novels are out? Like 5?
wabisuke!!
The emo shinigami
U cant blame him for that..
Too bad no banki
…..like who are you again bro. Happy you’re not a donut 🍩, only croissant 🥐.
Panel says wabisuke means penitent one, good to know you didn't read the words. False ass information wannabe
9:42 Toshiro the fraud alert scam likely false prodigy stay talking big but never does shit i swear to the soul king 🤣 like Toshiro stfu u will never be Gin level lil bro.
