Mild correction: The 9th Espada wasn't a Vasto Lorde. He was actually a Gillian before becoming an arrancar. Grimmjaw was an adjuchas. Implied everyone under the 4th Espada wasn't a Vasto Lorde. Yumichika basically insults his Zanpakto by misnaming it and the spirit gets butthurt and limits its release, which works for Yumichika because he is in a division that is melee oriented and he doesn't want the shame of having a kido type sword.
A correction to your correction, with spoilers from CFYOW. Grimmjow (along with Nelliel) are described as Vasto Lorde class Arrancars. Simply put, Grimmjow became a Vasto Lorde after his flashback ended (eating a piece of his Fraccion) but before meeting Aizen. Even years before then (IRL), one of the Databooks (can't recall which one) said "most of the Espada" are Vasto Lorde. Aaroniero is a Gillian, Yammy is likely an Adjuchas, Szayel is an Adjuchas (formerly a Vasto Lorde...SAFWY is weird), Zommari is unconfirmed either way. Starrk, Baraggan, Harribel, Nelliel, Ulquiorra, Nnoitra and Grimmjow are all Vasto Lordes.
@@RGA301092 Don't forget Lilynette. She and Starrk were once the same being, meaning that she was also a Vasto Lorde. Also, couldn't it be that Grimmjow reached Vasto Lorde level after becoming an Arrancar?
Grimmjaw is a Tank in the forces ... Other espadas may use powers and shit but Grimmjaw and noiitra and Ulquiorra pushing Ps on these captains no lie. 1 v 1 Grimmjaw is one of the greatest especially hand to hand combat or sword... Whichever ... He is my favourite character
Slight correction. Yumachika actually doesn’t like his zanpakto because it’s kido based and he’s in the 11th division who prefer pure melee zanpakto. So he calls it orange peacock when it’s true name is blue peacock. It doesn’t like orange because in color theory orange is the opposite color of blue. Edit: It’s called Wisteria Peacock, which is a light purple, and not Orange Peacock. Wisteria is the zanpaktos lease favorite color not orange. I think as a kid I just assumed wisteria was a type of orange because of its relationship to blue. And it’s been so long I didn’t actually think I needed to look it up. It just stood out to me, which with how close I was to the actual reason.
When we get his zanpakuto in the manga revealed to be blue peacock I took it as he was ashamed by its kidou based nature because he only used it when himself and chulhorne were alone
Naw man, Yumichka doesn't like his Zanpakutou because it's ugly to him, not because it's kido based. And he calls it the wrong name in front of everyone because he's be kicked out of Squad 11 since it isn't melee based.....that's why he waited till he and Charlotte were isolated where no one could see his "true" release 👌🏾
@@ThatStevenLouis No. Like dude straight up, he doesn't want to be judged negatively because he has a kido sword in a melee division. They literally say as much. He deliberately gimps his power by using the wrong name to fit in with his division.

Great vid, and yeah its weird ranking races based on average levels since they do vary alot. Its pretty hard to rank them since races introduced earlier in the series is gonna seem weaker. Also note, Yamamoto and Unohana are way older the 2000 years old. We know Yama was already old 2000 years ago and Unohana was around at that time too making them both well over 2000, probably ATLEAST 5000

a good definition of transcendent being is being hybrid this is one of the reason aizen has great interest on ichigo before he was born as ichigo was born as a hybrid or transcendent being also why aizen wants to combine both hollows and soulreaper powers you need to be hybrid
Nah you can have transcendent spiritual power without being hybrid. What you're thinking of is the soul king replacement which you need a hybrid as a replacement
The commenter above is right. Examples of a Transcendent beings are Yhwach, Aizen, Ichigo and Ichibei. Notice how only one of them is a Hybrid : Ichigo. Yhwach is a pure quincy. Ichibei is a pure shinigami. Aizen took some characteristics of a hollow, but never become one. He just used said characteristics to surpass the shinigami. Being transcendent doesn’t necessarily mean you are a hybrid. But being hybrid literally guarantees you the path to become transcendent. If you live long enough and fine your abilities, you can break through the race limitations and become op. Goes to show you how crazy Aizen is both in terms or power and intellect, when he’s a transcendent being younger than a thousand years old (While Ichibei is literally millions of years long). Ichigo was just born with the potential. Aizen become one by himself, creating, possibly, the most powerful being currently as a side-effect…

12:54 none of the Espada were Vasto Lorde beside Ulquiorra, Halibel, Starrk and Barragan with Barragan being a questionable case since he is an ancient hollow that work different from current hollow
I wanna know what kind of conversations the head captain had with ryujin jakka. And let's not even stop there. I'd like to see lite novels that explore every captain and how they met their zanpakuto, trained with them etc.
Very entertaining video.. I thought you only read up until the TYBW arc, to follow the anime, but sounds like you read the whole thing 😄 keep up the bleach content 🙏🏽
****Spoilers for the TYBW and CFYOW Novel**** Great video Nick, just a small detail, Ichigo and the Soul King are more of hybrids rather than transcendent beings. This a difficult topic and a very big topic of discussion for many years in the community because the term “transcendent” only comes up once in the series and is completely ditched because is very hard to pin point. The only two people ever called transcendent beings are Ichigo and Aizen in a very specific situation and its mainly used as a plot point to indicate that Aizen’s reiatsu is above most shinigamis and they’re not able to sense him and when Ichigo comes back from the Dangai his is in another level of reiatsu where Aizen can’t feel him; The whole transcendent topic is very hard and convoluted so most fans just disregard it. Now as in hybrids, these are supposed to be the “strongest” race of all because they’re a combination of Hollows, Shinigamis, Humans and Quincies in one and there are 3 and a half hybrids, Ichigo, the Soul King, Hikone and Ginjo Kugo (I said 3 and a half because Ginjo doesn’t have Quincy blood but is still consider a hybrid). They’re the strongest race because they are able to use and sometimes combine their 3 powers. I don’t want to give you examples because they’re spoilers for the TYBW and the novels but if you’re interested just look up Ichigo’s first fight against Ywach or Hikone’s fight in Can’t Fear Your Own World novels. One last thing about the other two, Aizen and Ywach, Ywach is the Quincy King so he should be more catalogued as part of the Quincies but later he kind of becomes a hybrid by absorbing and gaining his father’s power. Aizen is still a shinigami but due to the Hogyoku he could possibly change himself to be different races but that is just mainly speculation.
i’m confused thought isn’t ichigo all so a half hybrid because his dad was a soul reaper and his mom was a human and ichigo was all so a hallow because he resisted it and got to keep the mask? so technically he’s a half hybrid of human, soul reaper, and hallow. He doesn’t have a quincy side?
Aizen used the Hogyoku to at the very least transcend hollows and shinigami. With what we see he is placed above all Quincy too. I don't think Yhwach overpowers Aizen until he gains almighty.
As far as the most powerful race I would give it to Shinagami/Hollow because both are just way to versitle and op with their abilities. They're also heavily tied to one another as shinagami can gain Hollow powers and hollows can gain shinagami powers. So vizards and Arrancar aren't separate species just shinagami or hollow with the power of the other. A Zanpaktu spirit is the soul of the shingami. I would place the quincy next, they only appeared so powerful in the war because of outside power. All of the sternritter were artificially buffed in power by Yhwach and Jugram. Yhwach can empower them with a shrift while being around Jugram makes you stronger just by being near him. Even their main defensive power blut vene is controlled by Yhwach something said by Quilge. Then full bringers who are just humans with a piece of the soul king. So they're not that special imo as all the other races can possess a piece of the soul king.
You realize you just discribed vizard as the most powerful (shinigamis with the powers of a hollow) and then placed vizards under shinigami/hollow....by your own logic vizards are more powerful...
@@richardm5448 you realize I didn't rank vizards at right? You realize I said they're just shinagami with Hollow powers right so I counted them with the shinagami. Also all the vizards are weak in retrospect the regular shinagami were easily far more powerful than them.
@@justinpachi3707 yeah but it's borrowed power that's the problem. The quincy became fodder after Aushwalan and had to team up with the shinagami after that.
I watched the intro and was like okay cool, tuned out then heard him talking about high elves and I'm like ??????? There are high elves? They helped humans after the lizard men??? What? Then I realized it's an ad lmao
Also of note Hikone Ubuginu from Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World Novels *might* count as a fifth Transcendent Being. Maybe. It was an artificial Hybrid meant to mimic what Ichigo Kurosaki was naturally in order to Usurp the Soul King at least, and it has exhibited the traits of the 3 major races, as well as a pinch of Soul King (via Fullbringer) thrown in for good measure. Whether it is transcendent or not is really down to how successful of a creation you think Hikone is.
@@Ephemerthefish2525 that is not true in order to become transcendent one needs to break past their major races limit wall ginjo was about as strong as bankai ichigo in soul society.
@@bakatemplargaming2430according to the cfyow, ginjo is also a souk king candidate Due to him absorbing some of ichigos power Also he actually become powerful like a weaker version of ichigo Fullbring that we saw might be weak but they have more potential than those of other races They are more equal to quincies than to soul reapers if they perfected their power
@@bakatemplargaming2430 Bankai ichigo in the soul society 💀 Base Ginjo without even absorbing Ichigo’s power was equal to Tsukishima who’s stronger than post timeskip Bankai Byakuya to the point where he could break his zanpakuto with a physical swing and blitz his beyond 2x speed Bankai and relative to Complete Fullbring ichigo who regained all of his powers from FKT Shikai Ginjo >~ Fullbring Shikai Ichigo, and Bankai Ginjo ~ Fullbring Bankai Ichigo before Ginjo had his mental breakdown. This same Ichigo that while weakened and injured was considered by the Gotei to be able to fight Yhwach when Yama got bodied and actually damaged Yhwach after he stole Yama’s Bankai (meaning his reiatsu scales to Bankai Yama), and absorbed Royd and Yama himself after killing them And Base Ginjo in the novel (who didn’t get any stronger by the way) was relative to many Sternritter and people like Grimmjow in Base when holding back. When actually trying (in base) he almost one shot Tokinada who’s relative to Base Yoruichi, Base/Shikai Byakuya and Shikai Kyoraku. And Bankai Ginjo is considered one of the people strong enough to defeat Hikone in a straight up brawl, with Hikone being Soul King tier in terms of power Which all makes sense since Fullbring and Fullbring Shinigami Ichigo > FKT Ichigo
I appreciate this video so much. I know you tried keep the spoilers to a minimum while explaining each race which is pretty tough. As an anime only fan, this video was thoroughly informative and fun to watch despite having to skip around the end to avoid spoilers. Keep up the good work and make more bleach videos like this one. 😁
I've learned from my anthropology class "races are always created for the purpose of power, to put one group down and raise another up" if you know the secret shinigami history then you know exactly how true this is even in Bleach
There is at least 2 more races: The race in the hellverse which was briefly mentioned in the video since they are yet to be explored and Komamura's race of the beast realm which will soon be mentioned but very briefly once the second cour comes back.
@@shinkaiatsuya950 I guess it depends the blanks and Shinenju are technically a phenomenon where lost souls in the dangai lose their memories which form into the Shinenju who turned into a girl that cut down the blanks. This is from the movie. And Bounts are indeed filler but does that mean that they don't count? I dunno I thought the idea of soul vampires created by a lab explosion was pretty cool even if the filler arc wasn't that great.
@@shinkaiatsuya950 yeah i get that i just think that if you are trying to include everything for races in Bleach they should be mentioned as well as that would make at least 4 and a half races (the blank and Shinenju counting as 1 1/2 in my mind) that he hasn't covered.
BEASTLY breakdown! Been wondering about a few things and just restarted bleach from the jump so this is a great "filler" episode. Lol. Keep up the great bro
Slight correction: Bleach's chakra/nen is Reiryoku, but Reishi is not. Reishi is spiritual matter can exist in Soul Society & Hueco Mundo, but can also exist in nature of the human world. Kishi is regular matter in the world of Bleach. So in a way, Quincies pump matter into their body which is crazy. XD
I loved that you hit all that Spanish pronunciation perfectly. I can tell you were really trying lol. "What other name starts with Yhw?" It's an allusion to YHWH, Yahweh, Jehova, made German to fit the Quincy theme. Pronounced "Yu-ha-vach"
I pronounce it as: "Yu-watch." In other words, "Yu-watch" as he beat SS Azz, "Yu-Watch" as he kicks your azz, "Yu-watch" as I steal yo girl with my Quincy drip.
I love the content but he could really do better fact checking and research. This video has a lot of missed facts actually. I like his content he could just tighten up his research a bit.
I believe they said the top 4 were. And everyone under where adjuchas. And the 9th Espada being a Gillian with special powers that still let's him level up despite no change in form
@@bw5020 yep the top form have a confirm vasto lorde form Ulquiora was a native and borb as a vasto lorde and barragan was said to be from the times before the soul king split the worlds So maybe he also was born as a vasto lorde Arrancar 11 did say to be a vasto lorde You might be born as
@@bw5020 Databook "Masked" says most of the Espada are Vasto Lordes. Espadas 1-6 are definitely Vasto Lordes, Szayel was a Vasto Lorde in the past and voluntarily regressed to Adjuchas (hence the reason he was kicked out of the Espada by the time of Nelliel's flashback). Nelliel is a Vasto Lorde. Luppi and Zommari are ambiguous. Yammy is an Adjuchas, Aaroniero is a Gillian.
as a D&D fan,i find it kinda funny that you feel the need to explain what RACE is in the context of fantasy/sci-fi. like,it just seems like SUPER common knowledge to me.XD
This is why I was very vocal that anyone could have different lists, because it changes depending on whether or not you consider the average or the strongest
@@NCHammer23 Yeah thats true, I think the most accurate would be a free for all between races (Every Hollow vs Every Shinigami etc) but then it would just be Aizen vs Ichigo vs Yhwach vs Soul King. There is no real fair way to rank them.
@@majoratwili7312 It literally cannot do anything, but it is keeping the entire universe together, so they must have a plan to stop its destruction, and its not like some random mob Hollow can kill it either. The soul king would basically be the main objective for most races.
*chuckles* Don't worry, Nick. Bleach fans are pretty chill. We're just super defensive of our anime because it's constantly shit on by everyone and their mother. Also couple of corrections on the Hollows. It's pronounced Ad-hooch-us. Also Menos Grande was one specific Hollow but is commonly and incorrectly used to refer to Gillian. Gillian, Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde are just Menos. Correction on Yumichika. He calls his Zanpakuto by the wrong intentionally to make it a physical type Zanpakuto because he doesn't want booted out of his squad of physical Zanpakuto users. By calling it by its true name, it manifests as a Kido type Zanpakuto. It's pronounced as Yoo-hah-bahk. Also commonly just called Yuha
The name thing is debatable, because his name is supposed to be a reference to Yahweh. Which would imply that Yhawach is pronounced "Yah-wak". Although Yamamoto in the anime did pronounce it the way you said, so I don't know.
@@dungeonmaster3464 It was also confirmed in Bleach Brave Souls a solid 3 or so years ago before I stopped playing when he was first released in the game
Races ranked and explained. I think you should go back and put the word Bleach in front of that. Yes its behind it but it reads bad in that order. And I just go to the title part so gg Nick, ya got us

Awesome video my dude, just for future reference The Quincy Kings name is pronounced like Youha really weired I know but people care about that kind of stuff 😅
Big correction a arrancar is a hollow with a zanpakuto akin to a captain , a full bringer is just a human with a piece of a soul king in their soul, a Quincy is a human with a piece of ywach soul
For iconicity's sake id love to hear about the Hollow Techniques like Zero and Sonido, but Im also gonna take the cue to propose to rank and explain the 7 Warlods of the sea
I think the reason they're all "races" and not "species" is quite literal; humans, hollows, and shinigami are all different variations of the same base template. A human who dies can become either a hollow or a shinigami, and when either of them die their souls are returned to the cycle of reincarnation.
If ur doing this in aggregate wouldn’t the arrancar be stronger then the shinigami? Just saying there’s a lot of shinigami that can barely fight a normal hollow let alone a arrancar.

In the war flashback, she has the scar from him already, so their fight took place before the first quincy war 1,000 years ago.
12:54 none of the Espada were Vasto Lorde beside Ulquiorra, Halibel, Starrk and Barragan
with Barragan being a questionable case since he is an ancient hollow that work different from current hollow
I wanna know what kind of conversations the head captain had with ryujin jakka. And let's not even stop there. I'd like to see lite novels that explore every captain and how they met their zanpakuto, trained with them etc.
Very entertaining video..
I thought you only read up until the TYBW arc, to follow the anime, but sounds like you read the whole thing 😄 keep up the bleach content 🙏🏽
Bro your consistency has been amazing! Keep up the good work and I can't wait for your next video
Glad you covering bleach bro! I feel like there’s not too many bleach content creators out there or at least ones I can listen to for 30 mins😂
****Spoilers for the TYBW and CFYOW Novel****
Great video Nick, just a small detail, Ichigo and the Soul King are more of hybrids rather than transcendent beings. This a difficult topic and a very big topic of discussion for many years in the community because the term “transcendent” only comes up once in the series and is completely ditched because is very hard to pin point. The only two people ever called transcendent beings are Ichigo and Aizen in a very specific situation and its mainly used as a plot point to indicate that Aizen’s reiatsu is above most shinigamis and they’re not able to sense him and when Ichigo comes back from the Dangai his is in another level of reiatsu where Aizen can’t feel him; The whole transcendent topic is very hard and convoluted so most fans just disregard it.
Now as in hybrids, these are supposed to be the “strongest” race of all because they’re a combination of Hollows, Shinigamis, Humans and Quincies in one and there are 3 and a half hybrids, Ichigo, the Soul King, Hikone and Ginjo Kugo (I said 3 and a half because Ginjo doesn’t have Quincy blood but is still consider a hybrid). They’re the strongest race because they are able to use and sometimes combine their 3 powers. I don’t want to give you examples because they’re spoilers for the TYBW and the novels but if you’re interested just look up Ichigo’s first fight against Ywach or Hikone’s fight in Can’t Fear Your Own World novels.
One last thing about the other two, Aizen and Ywach, Ywach is the Quincy King so he should be more catalogued as part of the Quincies but later he kind of becomes a hybrid by absorbing and gaining his father’s power. Aizen is still a shinigami but due to the Hogyoku he could possibly change himself to be different races but that is just mainly speculation.
i’m confused thought isn’t ichigo all so a half hybrid because his dad was a soul reaper and his mom was a human and ichigo was all so a hallow because he resisted it and got to keep the mask? so technically he’s a half hybrid of human, soul reaper, and hallow. He doesn’t have a quincy side?
@@chris_elkins2093 his mother gives him Quincy heritage she’s kind of a princess and has royal blood.
Aizen used the Hogyoku to at the very least transcend hollows and shinigami. With what we see he is placed above all Quincy too. I don't think Yhwach overpowers Aizen until he gains almighty.
@@Mrikeepgettinmoneyagain just a correction, Ichigo's mother is from a full blooded quincy family, like a noble family, not a princess or royal blood
they're called transcendent because they transcend the concept of shinigami, hollow and/or quincy
As far as the most powerful race I would give it to Shinagami/Hollow because both are just way to versitle and op with their abilities. They're also heavily tied to one another as shinagami can gain Hollow powers and hollows can gain shinagami powers. So vizards and Arrancar aren't separate species just shinagami or hollow with the power of the other. A Zanpaktu spirit is the soul of the shingami. I would place the quincy next, they only appeared so powerful in the war because of outside power. All of the sternritter were artificially buffed in power by Yhwach and Jugram. Yhwach can empower them with a shrift while being around Jugram makes you stronger just by being near him. Even their main defensive power blut vene is controlled by Yhwach something said by Quilge. Then full bringers who are just humans with a piece of the soul king. So they're not that special imo as all the other races can possess a piece of the soul king.
You realize you just discribed vizard as the most powerful (shinigamis with the powers of a hollow) and then placed vizards under shinigami/hollow....by your own logic vizards are more powerful...
The Quincy with Vollstandig and Schrifts are easily the most broken. They literally become Biblically accurate angels.
@@richardm5448 you realize I didn't rank vizards at right? You realize I said they're just shinagami with Hollow powers right so I counted them with the shinagami. Also all the vizards are weak in retrospect the regular shinagami were easily far more powerful than them.
@@justinpachi3707 yeah but it's borrowed power that's the problem. The quincy became fodder after Aushwalan and had to team up with the shinagami after that.
@@diamantemrobinson you're not following...it's ok, everyone lags behind sometimes
I watched the intro and was like okay cool, tuned out then heard him talking about high elves and I'm like ??????? There are high elves? They helped humans after the lizard men??? What? Then I realized it's an ad lmao
Also of note Hikone Ubuginu from Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World Novels *might* count as a fifth Transcendent Being. Maybe. It was an artificial Hybrid meant to mimic what Ichigo Kurosaki was naturally in order to Usurp the Soul King at least, and it has exhibited the traits of the 3 major races, as well as a pinch of Soul King (via Fullbringer) thrown in for good measure. Whether it is transcendent or not is really down to how successful of a creation you think Hikone is.
ginjo is also under the classification now
when he absorbed ichigos powers
also being a fullbring and soulreaper
@@Ephemerthefish2525 that is not true in order to become transcendent one needs to break past their major races limit wall ginjo was about as strong as bankai ichigo in soul society.
@@bakatemplargaming2430according to the cfyow, ginjo is also a souk king candidate
Due to him absorbing some of ichigos power
Also he actually become powerful like a weaker version of ichigo
Fullbring that we saw might be weak but they have more potential than those of other races
They are more equal to quincies than to soul reapers if they perfected their power
@@Ephemerthefish2525 all full bringers have a piece of the soul king in them
@@bakatemplargaming2430 Bankai ichigo in the soul society 💀
Base Ginjo without even absorbing Ichigo’s power was equal to Tsukishima who’s stronger than post timeskip Bankai Byakuya to the point where he could break his zanpakuto with a physical swing and blitz his beyond 2x speed Bankai and relative to Complete Fullbring ichigo who regained all of his powers from FKT
Shikai Ginjo >~ Fullbring Shikai Ichigo, and Bankai Ginjo ~ Fullbring Bankai Ichigo before Ginjo had his mental breakdown. This same Ichigo that while weakened and injured was considered by the Gotei to be able to fight Yhwach when Yama got bodied and actually damaged Yhwach after he stole Yama’s Bankai (meaning his reiatsu scales to Bankai Yama), and absorbed Royd and Yama himself after killing them
And Base Ginjo in the novel (who didn’t get any stronger by the way) was relative to many Sternritter and people like Grimmjow in Base when holding back. When actually trying (in base) he almost one shot Tokinada who’s relative to Base Yoruichi, Base/Shikai Byakuya and Shikai Kyoraku.
And Bankai Ginjo is considered one of the people strong enough to defeat Hikone in a straight up brawl, with Hikone being Soul King tier in terms of power
Which all makes sense since Fullbring and Fullbring Shinigami Ichigo > FKT Ichigo
I appreciate this video so much. I know you tried keep the spoilers to a minimum while explaining each race which is pretty tough. As an anime only fan, this video was thoroughly informative and fun to watch despite having to skip around the end to avoid spoilers. Keep up the good work and make more bleach videos like this one. 😁
I've learned from my anthropology class "races are always created for the purpose of power, to put one group down and raise another up" if you know the secret shinigami history then you know exactly how true this is even in Bleach
There is at least 2 more races: The race in the hellverse which was briefly mentioned in the video since they are yet to be explored and Komamura's race of the beast realm which will soon be mentioned but very briefly once the second cour comes back.
Don't forget the Bounts that are a result of a failed experiment that exploded. Maybe the Blanks and Shinenju would count as well?
@gobe30 Forgot Blanks, didn't know about Shinenju also I thought Bounts were filler.
@@shinkaiatsuya950 I guess it depends the blanks and Shinenju are technically a phenomenon where lost souls in the dangai lose their memories which form into the Shinenju who turned into a girl that cut down the blanks. This is from the movie. And Bounts are indeed filler but does that mean that they don't count? I dunno I thought the idea of soul vampires created by a lab explosion was pretty cool even if the filler arc wasn't that great.
@gobe30 I'm not saying the bounts aren't cool just most people don't like talking about fillers. I actually didn't mind the bleach filler.
@@shinkaiatsuya950 yeah i get that i just think that if you are trying to include everything for races in Bleach they should be mentioned as well as that would make at least 4 and a half races (the blank and Shinenju counting as 1 1/2 in my mind) that he hasn't covered.
06:35 IIRC kirio hikifune was mentioned in the TBTP Arc which animated.
BEASTLY breakdown! Been wondering about a few things and just restarted bleach from the jump so this is a great "filler" episode. Lol. Keep up the great bro
Slight correction: Bleach's chakra/nen is Reiryoku, but Reishi is not.
Reishi is spiritual matter can exist in Soul Society & Hueco Mundo, but can also exist in nature of the human world.
Kishi is regular matter in the world of Bleach.
So in a way, Quincies pump matter into their body which is crazy. XD
the title without context 💀💀💀💀
Bro what
lol yea this could go incredibly wrong 😅. But thank god it doesn’t.
This video was great! Can you do a deep dive video on the Bleach lore? The history of the Soul King? :)
I loved that you hit all that Spanish pronunciation perfectly. I can tell you were really trying lol.
"What other name starts with Yhw?" It's an allusion to YHWH, Yahweh, Jehova, made German to fit the Quincy theme. Pronounced "Yu-ha-vach"
I pronounce it as: "Yu-watch." In other words, "Yu-watch" as he beat SS Azz, "Yu-Watch" as he kicks your azz, "Yu-watch" as I steal yo girl with my Quincy drip.
dude this was a great video. it had almost no spoilers and it still felt like it was giving a full story
Bleach is pretty good. I made it to episode 145 a few days ago. Hopefully we make it to at least 300 in the next week
Watching fillers too???
I think I'm in love with your channel...
Your analysis is so factually amazing
I love the content but he could really do better fact checking and research. This video has a lot of missed facts actually. I like his content he could just tighten up his research a bit.
Sure, if he gets enough time to do each race and give indepth analysis he could get it right then.
@@richardm5448 sure
Slight correction: it’s never confirmed which espada were vasto Lorde. Grimjow now could also have become one after the flashback.
I believe they said the top 4 were. And everyone under where adjuchas.
And the 9th Espada being a Gillian with special powers that still let's him level up despite no change in form
@@bw5020 yep the top form have a confirm vasto lorde form
Ulquiora was a native and borb as a vasto lorde and barragan was said to be from the times before the soul king split the worlds
So maybe he also was born as a vasto lorde
Arrancar 11 did say to be a vasto lorde
You might be born as
@@bw5020 Databook "Masked" says most of the Espada are Vasto Lordes.
Espadas 1-6 are definitely Vasto Lordes, Szayel was a Vasto Lorde in the past and voluntarily regressed to Adjuchas (hence the reason he was kicked out of the Espada by the time of Nelliel's flashback). Nelliel is a Vasto Lorde. Luppi and Zommari are ambiguous. Yammy is an Adjuchas, Aaroniero is a Gillian.
Love the video and keep up the great work nick
Quincy looking crazy op Major!
as a D&D fan,i find it kinda funny that you feel the need to explain what RACE is in the context of fantasy/sci-fi. like,it just seems like SUPER common knowledge to me.XD
Putting Hollows so low whilst putting Shinigami higher than Arrancar because the Captains killed them is kind of weird.
This is why I was very vocal that anyone could have different lists, because it changes depending on whether or not you consider the average or the strongest
It’s his list, he can do whatever he wants. I just need my daily dose of background noise to power thru the day.
@@NCHammer23 Yeah thats true, I think the most accurate would be a free for all between races (Every Hollow vs Every Shinigami etc) but then it would just be Aizen vs Ichigo vs Yhwach vs Soul King. There is no real fair way to rank them.
@@Xyro-- Not even the Soul King. Dude's literally just... SPOILER ALERT
Armless, legless and floating in a crystal
@@majoratwili7312 It literally cannot do anything, but it is keeping the entire universe together, so they must have a plan to stop its destruction, and its not like some random mob Hollow can kill it either. The soul king would basically be the main objective for most races.
that bleach in parentheses is the only thing keeping him alive
Kinda wild/weird that we do call ourselves the HUMAN RACE but then we have split races within that human race. Just to hate on each other? 😅😂
Yu-haw is the easiest way to pronounce Yhwach it's based on a variety of names for the Abrahamic God like Yhwach Yahweh Jehovah Yehovah etc
3:39
Bro became Kaido for a second there 😭
Kyoka Suigetsu... Has the properties of both rubber and gum!! .. Oops wrong verse
Lame
*chuckles* Don't worry, Nick. Bleach fans are pretty chill. We're just super defensive of our anime because it's constantly shit on by everyone and their mother.
Also couple of corrections on the Hollows. It's pronounced Ad-hooch-us. Also Menos Grande was one specific Hollow but is commonly and incorrectly used to refer to Gillian. Gillian, Adjuchas and Vasto Lorde are just Menos.
Correction on Yumichika. He calls his Zanpakuto by the wrong intentionally to make it a physical type Zanpakuto because he doesn't want booted out of his squad of physical Zanpakuto users. By calling it by its true name, it manifests as a Kido type Zanpakuto.
It's pronounced as Yoo-hah-bahk. Also commonly just called Yuha
From what I seen, that's kinda the complete opposite of some of the fans
Gotta keep it real jm bleach fan and this person don't speak for me Major!
The name thing is debatable, because his name is supposed to be a reference to Yahweh. Which would imply that Yhawach is pronounced "Yah-wak".
Although Yamamoto in the anime did pronounce it the way you said, so I don't know.
@@dungeonmaster3464 It was also confirmed in Bleach Brave Souls a solid 3 or so years ago before I stopped playing when he was first released in the game
You and tekking101 are my favorite youtubers fr bringing life to everything
Races ranked and explained. I think you should go back and put the word Bleach in front of that. Yes its behind it but it reads bad in that order. And I just go to the title part so gg Nick, ya got us
Great video. I'm curious where you'd rank the Bount. I, myself, would put them around Fullbringer
Just discovered you’re channel! I love it so much! 😊
cool. now rank real life races.
Hispanic- hardest working has control over 70% of the drug trade through the Mexican Cartel drawbacks immigration
Black- physically superior to all the other races including drawbacks getting killed on a daily basis
Asian- mentally superior to all races and 2nd dominate population drawbacks small eggplant sizes Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan jokes also eating cat and dog even if false
White- holds the most power in the world and dominates the world's population drawbacks no racial advantage other then white privilege
Lmfao😂
F1 is mid
@@Sh1ngiIt might be mid but it's way better than the ni-
@@nimrodshachar2773technically that’s not true tho
Wicked video dude. Quick question though, would you be able to do a Yachiru Kusajishi explained or you know nothing video, pretty please???
Okiara actually Is showed us That hollows actually have 2 releases but he is the only one who knew about it because he is apparently trained more Then anyone else
Ulquiorra*
Damn bro image coyote with a second release 😳 shunsui wouldn't stand a chance
Good thing he included bleach in parenthesis
Another awesome video as always! I have alot of questions lol but my main one is why (and how) is Chad a Fullbringer?
@@besdonsala4845 his skin actually.
FYI, hikone is also a transcendent being, great vid Nick
I truly love your bleach content 💝 I feel like a teenager again ✨
This is my first time watching a video over on this channel. I saw the thumbnail and was like, this looks familiar but the channel name never came to me until I saw your face.
26:00 Was he trying to see Ransotengai? Dude sounded like he was having a stroke
Thanks for making your videos longer
Great video, however the only known vasto lorde espada before aizen was Barragan, Ulquiorra, and stark to my knowledge
This is the spiciest title I've read in awhile XD
Do a video about all the transformations of Ichigo and any other strong characters in Bleach they have multiple transformations please And thank you
Edit: Hell, do every transformation of The Big 3's MC + Goku
You forgot about the "Whatever-The-Hell-Aizen is" Race.
Love your content keep it up
Can you do a irl race ranking video (nascar or not nascar, up for interpretation)
Hispanic- hardest working has control over 70% of the drug trade through the Mexican Cartel drawbacks immigration

You should do the groups and power system of magi cause it’s a very interesting one.
magi is dead
Nick giving us the finger for 40% of the lesson 😂😂. Good video tho
This videos so cool, very coherent and informative. Kudos
Every time you say “please …. For me” it makes me wish I could sub, but I’m already subscribed haha
I'm not surprised some of my fellow Bleach fans are hostile for years Bleach was shit on by people who didn't understand it because it was cool and everyone was like HOW DARE YOU LIKE BLEACH and now that it's back those same haters are acting like they never shit on Bleach and spread misinformation for clout I don't think it right but I understand I'm just happy people are giving Bleach a second chance great video keep up the good work
The 26 Elite Quincy are not the only Quincy in that army and the not 29 elites get there face stomped by most shinigami
Awesome video my dude, just for future reference The Quincy Kings name is pronounced like Youha really weired I know but people care about that kind of stuff 😅
I love it Nick!!!!!!!!!!!! Bleach content I need moreeee!!!!
I can’t wait to wacth this war arc!!
I freaking love this all this info without having to rewatch bleach
Great video, You should change the title tho 🤣
Yeah a deeper dive into like everything would be cool
My favorite anime content creator. Keeo it up bro(give us some one piece pls😊)
You should do a video explaining each race individually.
In bleach right?
The only Vasto Lorde in the Espada are 1-4 + 8 (divided his soul). #9 is the only Gillian, all the rest are Adjuchas.
Big correction a arrancar is a hollow with a zanpakuto akin to a captain , a full bringer is just a human with a piece of a soul king in their soul, a Quincy is a human with a piece of ywach soul
Great video without spoilers!!! ❤❤❤
Alright can Bringers Light keep up with flash step/Sonido/the quincy one ??
Hueco Mundo arc was about hollows and TYBW was quincies, now we need an arc about just the Shinigami because we really don't know as much as we like
soul society arc??
@@exot1c873 that was just an introduction to the cast and world, also to just FLEX how big Aizen's d*ck is
I forget if the bount guys are a race of their own or not but other than that uncertainty the video was incredible
I’m on the list of people getting back in so this was perfect 👍🏽 🎉
Super cool video, hope you do one on hollows later!
For iconicity's sake id love to hear about the Hollow Techniques like Zero and Sonido, but Im also gonna take the cue to propose to rank and explain the 7 Warlods of the sea
LOVED IT
I think the reason they're all "races" and not "species" is quite literal; humans, hollows, and shinigami are all different variations of the same base template. A human who dies can become either a hollow or a shinigami, and when either of them die their souls are returned to the cycle of reincarnation.
Could You make a deep dive into the quincy race
*insert GIF of Cartman running thru school hallway yelling "Race War!"*
I need a transcended being vid! It’s been sooo many years since I finished the manga I forgot exactly what yhwatch was
great video but what about the bounts?
races ranked, pretty fitting for the current arc
If ur doing this in aggregate wouldn’t the arrancar be stronger then the shinigami? Just saying there’s a lot of shinigami that can barely fight a normal hollow let alone a arrancar.
isent ulquiorra's forms considerd to be vasto lord? both his forms do resemble vasto lords quite alot
This ain’t all the races. Where the bounts at? And witches?
