Shunsui's original Zanpaktou spirit was just Ohana. When he was asked to protect the Ise family sword, Ohana gave up her right eye to "birth" Okyo (the small girl). Okyo likes to play games and she hid the sword as a game of hide-in-seek. If you look at Okyo, you will notice that she has a right eye, but no left eye. The inverse of Ohana, who is missing her right eye, but has her left eye. Also of note, Ohana represents his Bankai spirit while Okyo represents his Shikai.
See bleach is deeper than people think and thought out but people don’t care cause unless it’s spoon fed and cause the pacing is not modern they call it trash. 😢glad fans of bleach are standing up again we took our licks for a decade. 😂. Also wonder if his level 1 would be stronger then if he didn’t split swords. Like maybe it’s that wind attack he used.
@@theinvulnerablescottsterli723 it’s visual mature storytelling expecting the reader to get it. From the ways she remarked that he got the same damage in his eye you could tell she was sad cause she couldn’t come out to help him at the time and rarely comes out cause she’s too op for nearby allies to get hurt. 😞 bleach got hate for doing what people tell you to do. Show don’t tell. Trust your audience. Should have spoon fed 😂
Basically what this arc shows us is that there’s no “natural” dual Zanpakuto. Shunsui’s Zanpakuto split into a dual to hide Nanao’s weapon Ukitake’s is influenced by Mimihagi’s presence in him And Ichigo as we know is due to being a hybrid. So if a soul reaper is dual-bladed there’s something that’s influencing that.
Funny thing is, Nanao’s mom says the sword won’t cause misfortune to Shunsui for holding onto it since he’s a man yet almost everyone he has cared about has died. Yama, Jushiro, Unohana, Chojiro, his brother, his sister-in-law and at one time, he thought he lost Lisa too. Dude’s life has been brutal. Edit: Shunsui’s zanpaktou (Katen) gave birth to his 2nd blade (Kyokotsu) in order to hide Nanao’s zanpaktou (Shinken)
Katen(ohana) gave birth to Kyokotsu for the purpose of hiding the Ise family treasure which is the zanpakuto. Katen (Ohana) is shunsui’s zanpakuto that performs his bankai and kyokotsu is the zanpakuto that plays games because she was made to hide things.
Wish they watched filler. It shows the bankai and shows even back then kubo had it thought out. She’s mute in that filler too. Also he cares a lot about her 😢in filler and now we know why. Also in filler the bankai spirits can use their bankai abilities. The spirit never goes all out thankfully or he’d lose.
You know what really got me with this episode? The way Lille's eyes kept rapidly blinking asynchronously. Yes, Shunsui is Nanao’s uncle. I kind of wish they directly called him as such because I didn’t catch that when I read this chapter until later.
The fact that, Nanao's mother gave that sword to Shunsui, a very rare ceremonial treasure, and i believe it was failing to keep that treasure safe, that lead to her execution. Meanwhile, Shunsui was carrying the very thing that lead to her death. I can only imagine the burden he must have felt and the sense of responsibility for her niece. Also lowkey impressive that he was able to hide something for so long with absolutely no one in soul society being able to find out. If you can execute a clan head for not keeping it safe, it must be valuable and if its that valuable, more than extensive search would have been conducted for it and they still could not find it.
Shunsui is such a tragic character he’s my favorite captain man and he puts up such a relaxed and fun demeanor you would have never guessed the guy was dealing with so much. Also congrats on the subs guys much love!!❤️

Always my favorite fight. Lille, the x-axis, penetrates all, even himself in the end. Lille the owl, closest to god, his messenger, sees all through the shadows, but blinded by his own light. Shunsui promised his bankai spirit they'd die together, offers to spirit him away while he sleeps, breaks his promise to her and lives, chosing life and Nanao, breaks his promise like the man in the play of his bankai act. Nanao choses to take on the curse like her mother, Shunsui choses to take it on just like his brother.
from what i understand, Nanao is Shunsui’s niece, but also Shunsui’s second blade, the smaller one, was made by shunsui’s zampakuto for the soul purpose to hide the cursed sword. if not for this, he probably would’ve only had one sword instead of duo blades
Bleach Thousand Years Blood War is God Tier. I read the manga till the end many years ago. Luckily it seems like I can barely remember what happened. This feels mostly new to me. They also upped the art work and animations quite a bit compared to previous seasons of Bleach at least in terms of consistency.
Shunsui gives nicknames to each half of his Zanpakuto. Katen is the older one that typically manifests he calls her Ohana. And the younger one Kyokotsu, who seems to be the one who enjoys children's games more he calls Okyo. Together they're his Zanpakuto Katen Kyokotsu, Ohana gave "birth" to Okyo so she can hide Nanao's sword in the shadows.
Just know the peak will peak even more in the episodes to come. Bleach is about to take it to next levels! Btw guys, Lille Barro’s transformation is inspired by biblically accurate angels, which is why his appearance is uncanny. His wings have changed from green to golden to symbolize his ascension to godly status.
Also it’s rare to have dual swords. This explains why they said that. Ichigo is still special. The other dual sword has an attachment. Overall dual swords is rare.
remember the last season when each sternritten got trapped with a there own trap, Lille here was taken out by his own bullets, and just now he took himself out with his own attack, bro was so damn strong he could only be beat by himself
So, the reason why Shunsui lieutenant could not imprint on her asuchi, is because her family only possesses one zanpakuto and it is that specific ritual one. So Shunsui Zanpakuto materialized that second spirit to hide the ritual Zanpakuto that his sister in law gave to him to avoid her daughter having that curse. It can be confusing but the spirit that was standing next to her hiding her zanpakuto is also Shunsui's Spirit. They both are.
Also I assume otherwise they would be able to sense a sword. Sword users seem to be connected hence why she was put to the gallows. Someone had to have found way to hide it and she was easy culprit and wouldn’t talk. 😢hope they watch filler after this to see bankai more.
Great episode and really did tremendous justice to the manga material in terms of the visual spectacle, alongside Shunsui's Bankai reveal in 35. I came to explain the dynamics of Shunsui's dual zanpakuto and spirits, but others have already nailed it. Kubo has always been immensely talented at world-building, laying the pieces so early to pay off at the end of the story, while respecting the audience's ability to fill in the blanks without needing to exposit everything. The nature of the zanpakuto spirit is a perfect example.
Explaining the Zanpakuto: Basically Shunsui only had Katen (ohana). But in order to hide Nanao's Zanpakuto it broke off a piece from itself (right eye) and created another Zanpakuto spirit called kyokotsu. That's why they said it "gave birth". Both spirits belong to Shunsui but one of them helps to hide Nanao's Zanpakuto while the other helps him fight.
Shunsui’s Zanpaktou was originally one sword but then it splits into two sword and Ohana gave birth to Okyo the young girl who loves hide-and-seek to hide Nanao’s Zanpaktou
In the Soul Society arc during Rukia's execution, Nanao was the only one who was a bit scared, and Shunsui was comforting her.....and now we know why bcus her mother was also executed in the same way....(And the moment I'm talking is before ichigo's arrival in chapter 150 when rukia was about to be executed)
1.) Shunsui and Nanao’s opponent Lille’s transformation is supposed to be inspired from the biblical accurate description of angels. 2.) If you're anime only, Lille's defeat was foreshdowed in Squad 0 member Senjumaru's bankai when he got trapped and all of his shots got reflected. Nanao's Zanpakuto named Shinken Hakkyoken translates to Divine Sword, Eight Mirror Sword and that part bankai he was trapped in has 8 mirrors. Pernida on the other hand, got swallowed by black sand. He fought Korutsuchi which translates to black soil.
To simplify it: Kyoraku originally had one zanpakuto spirit, Katen. When Nanao's mother entrusted him with the Ise Family heirloom, Katen had to split a fragment of herself per Kyoraku's request, resulting in the birth of Kyokostu, the keeper of the sword. The fragment was Katen's right eye.
If you look back to Senjumaru's Bankai we can see that she defeated Lille Barro by reflecting his own attacks. Also Shinken Hakkyoken translates to Eight Mirror Sword and there were eight mirrors in the dome that Senjumaru put Lille in. Similarly, Pernida was engulfed by black soil. Black soil in Japanese means Kurotsuchi. And Mayuri Kurotsuchi was the one who defeated Pernida in the end. So there's a theory that Senjumaru's Bankai is a reality weaving Bankai. Also Shunsui was told that he wouldn't run into the curse by hiding the sword anymore but that wasn't the case. He lost his mentor or father figure in Yamamoto, colleague in Unohana and a friend in Ukitake. Also there's a theory that this Shinken Hakkyoken is the sword used to dismember the Soul King. That's why Central 46 was quick to execute Nanao's mother.
Do you know about ise grand shrine in japan...It is dedicated to Amaterasu Ōmikami, the sun goddess and traditional progenitor of the Japanese imperial family. The Sacred Mirror, one of the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan (Sanshu no Jingi), is preserved there that also reveals why nanao didn't had zanpakuto from the start of the series
Another reason to thank aizen for killing central 46. Shunsui the man who we thought of as the laziest but he was the most responsible person, as there is a saying behind every smile there is a sad story untold that is what is a shinsui character.
Congrats on the 300K been here since Dragon Ball Super lol, Btw you can react to the Opening next episode cause basically next episode is the fight between Jugram and Bazz B and everything you'll see in the opening is pretty much already seen, so yea feel free💯
Shunsui’s zanpakuto gave birth to another zanpakuto so that it could hide the Sword of the Ise clan. Upon the request of Nanao’s mother. Nanao doesnt rly have a personalized zanpakuto Also explains why shunsui has 2 swords. It is said that having 2 zanpakuto in Bleach is never a natural occurrence. There are only 3 people who have them, Ichigo, Ukitake, and Shunsui Shunsui has his of this, ukitake has his because of mimihagi, Ichigo has his because the small blade represents his quincy power while the big one represents his Soul Reaper powers
If I'm not mistaken, the design of Lille Barro's form is supposed to be a biblically accurate angel. A humanoid with wings and animal traits, they look pretty fucking nightmarish actually, look it up.
This episode made me think a lot about Revelation 9:6, which says, 'In those days people will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.' It refers to apocalyptic events (represented by the TBYW arc) during which humanity (represented by the 3 worlds, but more specifically by the Shinigami) will face calamities (the Quincy, but in this episode, it's the Baro). These calamities will bring suffering so intense that people would prefer death, but death will escape them, just like Kyoraku when he was pierced a second time and still didn’t die. When his zanpakuto tells him to rest (meaning to die), Nanao wakes him up. It should be added that the burden of being the Captain-Commander, plus having to lead the war to success, and honoring those who died by winning this war, means that he cannot die. A commander who dies in battle is often seen as a symbol of defeat. But it’s very heartening to see that he is almost surprised when Nanao wakes him up, realizing that there is still someone to watch over him when he is at his lowest. He can rely on her just as she, in the past, relied on him, and together they can overcome their difficulties, suffering, and doubts. Anyway, that's why Kyoraku is my favorite captain in all of Bleach.
Actually Shensui's zanpakuto which is ohana gave birth to okyo so she can hide nanao'a zanpakuto that's why shensui's zanpakuto is split between two blades they're both his and nanao's got hers seperately
The Zanpakuto part is really not that confusing Shunsui's Zanpakuto Katen (Ohana) gave birth to his other sword Kyokotsu (Okio). Kyokotsu loves to play hide-and-seek, so they used her to hide Nanao's Zanpakuto. Shunsui originally only had one sword, Katen (Ohana), but after she gave birth, he became a dual wielder. That's why Shunsui has a long Katana and a Wakizashi (short sword) in his unreleased state.
Yeah the younger looking Zanpakuto is still Shunsui's. So think of it like this his original sword Katen Kyōkotsu split itself into two swords. One being Ohana (Katen) and the other being Okyo (Kyōkotsu).

Shunsui's sword didnt create nanao's sword. nanao's sword is a sword passed down her family line, that her mother asked shunsui to hide away, so shunsui's sword(the one he calls ohana) created okyo(the other sword spirit) and she used her powers of hide and seek to stash nanao's family sword. idk if they are implying that originally his zanpakuto was a single blade before that and then became two for the sake of hiding the ritual sword, but hey its wild lol
This is Nanao's First Fight against the One of the Strongest Royal Elite Guard of Yhwach and yeah Nanao is Scared because she's Literally fighting Lille Barro's God Level but thankfully Shunsui is there to help her..
The power creep in this fight was absolutely ridiculous to the point where this new sword has to come completely out of nowhere as a plot device to take out OP barro. Kind of crazy
Kubo gave the vice captains their shine that they deserve in both Nemu and Nanao in these recent eps. But the royal guards are so broken if it isn't a bad matchup for them both Kyorako and Mayuri would get annihilated ( ex.Kenny)
Is it just me or does lille's form look like the elden beast from elden ring. Even his trumpet attack looked like those little onion looking trumpet guys in the game.
Lillie Barro's trumpet attack was soooo cleannnn
it really was!
canonically the strongest attack we have seen so far in the anime also and a lieutenant was the one to deflect it!
Yea, it was biblical.
@@MrItgsCraftno the “god reflecting” sword that came outta nowhere deflected it
edit: i understand tho bc kubo needed a way to beat em lol
@@YonkoTERMyeah bro cooked a little too hard with lille and had to scramble and find a way for the good guys to win😭

Also wonder if his level 1 would be stronger then if he didn’t split swords. Like maybe it’s that wind attack he used.
woah...
This took me a while to grasp on my own whilst reading, his whole story is there visually without much explanation. It’s great

Basically what this arc shows us is that there’s no “natural” dual Zanpakuto.
Shunsui’s Zanpakuto split into a dual to hide Nanao’s weapon
Ukitake’s is influenced by Mimihagi’s presence in him
And Ichigo as we know is due to being a hybrid.
So if a soul reaper is dual-bladed there’s something that’s influencing that.
Meanwhile Yama thought it was cause they were prodigies. I wanna know how much Yama actually knew about their pasts.
Don't forget Hisagi, whose Zanpakuto is actually the chains and the dual blades don't count as two. Which is, weird.
@ez_is_bloo To be fair, Kazeshini took that form on purpose cause it knew Hisagi doesn't like the shape.
Correct, but Katen didn’t “split”, she gave birth to Kyokotsu (Did bro sleep with his Zanpakutou? 😭)
@MoonlessSky_ That... would be like sleeping with... your soul... that's weird...
Funny thing is, Nanao’s mom says the sword won’t cause misfortune to Shunsui for holding onto it since he’s a man yet almost everyone he has cared about has died.

@@TheBeelz3bub then he does the opposite of all at the end it's ironic and beautiful
And also corruption. You can see Lille as a half-god and drunk with power.

Shunsui's zanpukto gave birth to a zanpukyo to hide hers. It's basically a manifestation of the hide and seek ability
The fact that, Nanao's mother gave that sword to Shunsui, a very rare ceremonial treasure, and i believe it was failing to keep that treasure safe, that lead to her execution.

Shunsui gives nicknames to each half of his Zanpakuto. Katen is the older one that typically manifests he calls her Ohana. And the younger one Kyokotsu, who seems to be the one who enjoys children's games more he calls Okyo.
Together they're his Zanpakuto Katen Kyokotsu, Ohana gave "birth" to Okyo so she can hide Nanao's sword in the shadows.

Great episode and really did tremendous justice to the manga material in terms of the visual spectacle, alongside Shunsui's Bankai reveal in 35. I came to explain the dynamics of Shunsui's dual zanpakuto and spirits, but others have already nailed it. Kubo has always been immensely talented at world-building, laying the pieces so early to pay off at the end of the story, while respecting the audience's ability to fill in the blanks without needing to exposit everything. The nature of the zanpakuto spirit is a perfect example.
Explaining the Zanpakuto:
Basically Shunsui only had Katen (ohana). But in order to hide Nanao's Zanpakuto it broke off a piece from itself (right eye) and created another Zanpakuto spirit called kyokotsu. That's why they said it "gave birth". Both spirits belong to Shunsui but one of them helps to hide Nanao's Zanpakuto while the other helps him fight.
Congrats on 300k
Titled this video like it’s an Isekai 😂
real
Shunsui’s Zanpaktou was originally one sword but then it splits into two sword and Ohana gave birth to Okyo the young girl who loves hide-and-seek to hide Nanao’s Zanpaktou
In the Soul Society arc during Rukia's execution, Nanao was the only one who was a bit scared, and Shunsui was comforting her.....and now we know why bcus her mother was also executed in the same way....(And the moment I'm talking is before ichigo's arrival in chapter 150 when rukia was about to be executed)
1.) Shunsui and Nanao’s opponent Lille’s transformation is supposed to be inspired from the biblical accurate description of angels.
2.) If you're anime only, Lille's defeat was foreshdowed in Squad 0 member Senjumaru's bankai when he got trapped and all of his shots got reflected. Nanao's Zanpakuto named Shinken Hakkyoken translates to Divine Sword, Eight Mirror Sword and that part bankai he was trapped in has 8 mirrors. Pernida on the other hand, got swallowed by black sand. He fought Korutsuchi which translates to black soil.
Ik barro's form supposed to represent a Biblical depiction of the Archangel Gabriel but this is just hella creepy but amazing at the same time
To simplify it: Kyoraku originally had one zanpakuto spirit, Katen. When Nanao's mother entrusted him with the Ise Family heirloom, Katen had to split a fragment of herself per Kyoraku's request, resulting in the birth of Kyokostu, the keeper of the sword. The fragment was Katen's right eye.
Lille's 2 vollstandig jilliel form was inspired from biblically accurated seraphim. And also his light of judgement, Trumpet attack also
i got that final ost in my playlist, sounds like something straight form dark souls
Everyone see the Cresent moon shot after he explodes nasty hint shot 🙏
The first of the two hereditary Zanpakutō in Bleach, the other being Enrakyōten.
voice acting in this episode is magnificent (espacialy x-axis)
If you look back to Senjumaru's Bankai we can see that she defeated Lille Barro by reflecting his own attacks. Also Shinken Hakkyoken translates to Eight Mirror Sword and there were eight mirrors in the dome that Senjumaru put Lille in. Similarly, Pernida was engulfed by black soil. Black soil in Japanese means Kurotsuchi. And Mayuri Kurotsuchi was the one who defeated Pernida in the end. So there's a theory that Senjumaru's Bankai is a reality weaving Bankai.
Also Shunsui was told that he wouldn't run into the curse by hiding the sword anymore but that wasn't the case. He lost his mentor or father figure in Yamamoto, colleague in Unohana and a friend in Ukitake.
Also there's a theory that this Shinken Hakkyoken is the sword used to dismember the Soul King. That's why Central 46 was quick to execute Nanao's mother.
12:12 Shinji always catching strays for no reason 😭
Do you know about ise grand shrine in japan...It is dedicated to Amaterasu Ōmikami, the sun goddess and traditional progenitor of the Japanese imperial family. The Sacred Mirror, one of the Three Sacred Treasures of Japan (Sanshu no Jingi), is preserved there that also reveals why nanao didn't had zanpakuto from the start of the series
Bro bellz’s reactions be so extra haha love it.
Makes you wonder what Nanaos bankai is, gotta be 🔥
It doesn't seems like she's goona get bankai, This sword is already OP.
It might just remain in Shikai forever, same as Aizen's Kyokasuigetsu.
It was so clean
Another reason to thank aizen for killing central 46.
Shunsui the man who we thought of as the laziest but he was the most responsible person, as there is a saying behind every smile there is a sad story untold that is what is a shinsui character.
Congrats on the 300K been here since Dragon Ball Super lol, Btw you can react to the Opening next episode cause basically next episode is the fight between Jugram and Bazz B and everything you'll see in the opening is pretty much already seen, so yea feel free💯
Trompete might be the coolest attack in anime I've seen tbh. Salute Lille Barro.
Honestly speaking, an attack of that power and range was only comparable to Ichigo's Mugetsu, I'm really impressed with the leader Lije.
The title of the video is stronger than Shunsui's bankai lol . Also, congratulations on hitting 300k.
Nanao should take Shunsui's place as head captain at this point
@@RideTheGamer you're tweaking
@@KingDerek58 idk man she cooked Barro with ease🤵♂️
These enemies keep coming back live a video game
Shunsui’s zanpakuto gave birth to another zanpakuto so that it could hide the Sword of the Ise clan. Upon the request of Nanao’s mother. Nanao doesnt rly have a personalized zanpakuto
Also explains why shunsui has 2 swords. It is said that having 2 zanpakuto in Bleach is never a natural occurrence. There are only 3 people who have them, Ichigo, Ukitake, and Shunsui
Shunsui has his of this, ukitake has his because of mimihagi, Ichigo has his because the small blade represents his quincy power while the big one represents his Soul Reaper powers
Lillie Barro’s design here was based off of what a biblically accurate angel is said to look like
His design is how angels looks in the Bible
Facing something like that, I couldn't even breathe.
to think that her zanpakutou is just a perfect contigency plan: It would NOT have worked if the enemy wasn't godlike.
Yall said ,"is that it?" lol that Trompete move blew up half the damn kingdom.
They said that's it to him being defeated like that
the voice at the last video is from Bazz B,the pink mowahk Quincy
If I'm not mistaken, the design of Lille Barro's form is supposed to be a biblically accurate angel.
A humanoid with wings and animal traits, they look pretty fucking nightmarish actually, look it up.
Remember when Barro was on Senjumaru’s bankai? He shot himself
That was Bazz B on the Poem .
The Finale will Highlighting More on Bazz and Jugo
This episode made me think a lot about Revelation 9:6, which says, 'In those days people will seek death, but will not find it; they will long to die, but death will elude them.' It refers to apocalyptic events (represented by the TBYW arc) during which humanity (represented by the 3 worlds, but more specifically by the Shinigami) will face calamities (the Quincy, but in this episode, it's the Baro). These calamities will bring suffering so intense that people would prefer death, but death will escape them, just like Kyoraku when he was pierced a second time and still didn’t die. When his zanpakuto tells him to rest (meaning to die), Nanao wakes him up.
It should be added that the burden of being the Captain-Commander, plus having to lead the war to success, and honoring those who died by winning this war, means that he cannot die. A commander who dies in battle is often seen as a symbol of defeat. But it’s very heartening to see that he is almost surprised when Nanao wakes him up, realizing that there is still someone to watch over him when he is at his lowest. He can rely on her just as she, in the past, relied on him, and together they can overcome their difficulties, suffering, and doubts.
Anyway, that's why Kyoraku is my favorite captain in all of Bleach.
Lille Barro went out the way he should’ve. His oh so divine power reflected back at his ass.
Its like shunsui's zanpakuto split in 2 to hide nanao's sword
Actually Shensui's zanpakuto which is ohana gave birth to okyo so she can hide nanao'a zanpakuto that's why shensui's zanpakuto is split between two blades they're both his and nanao's got hers seperately
The Zanpakuto part is really not that confusing Shunsui's Zanpakuto Katen (Ohana) gave birth to his other sword Kyokotsu (Okio). Kyokotsu loves to play hide-and-seek, so they used her to hide Nanao's Zanpakuto. Shunsui originally only had one sword, Katen (Ohana), but after she gave birth, he became a dual wielder. That's why Shunsui has a long Katana and a Wakizashi (short sword) in his unreleased state.
Lil Barro is new name in mind Steph gave this man his new rapper name lol
Yes you are correct Nanao is his Niece
Yeah the younger looking Zanpakuto is still Shunsui's. So think of it like this his original sword Katen Kyōkotsu split itself into two swords. One being Ohana (Katen) and the other being Okyo (Kyōkotsu).
[Tidbits]
- As mentioned before Lille’s Vollstandig design takes obvious visual elements from Seraphim (Biblical angels that act as gods spokesmen). This sort of second evolution is further proof of it, aside from having 8 wings, Seraphims are also often depicted as serpent-like creatures bathed in fire or red. (This isn’t 1 to 1, Kubo throws his own unique spin on it by using white instead of red and adding an owl-like face)
- We learn here about Shunsui's struggle with death and responsibility, which adds to the sense of tragedy we often feel about his character. Even within this arc it happens again, Yamamoto and Jushiro died leaving him with even greater responsibilities. When you think about his actions, his willingness to do whatever is necessary, it makes much more sense now, for him he has to win because he carries those deaths and responsibilities with him as best as he can.
(The concept of him sharing the burden of responsibility instead of taking it on all by himself was impressively expressed through his moment with Nanao)
- Many fans often questioned the Nanao ancestral blade concept, feeling that it’s (understandably) overly convenient, and came completely out of the blue. but, as I’ll express again later, Kubo tends to have lore in mind long before it’s revealed. This is why Nanao wasn’t shown in fights, she doesn’t even have a named Zanpaktou and if you recall her moments in the Soul Society arc, she didn’t even carry a blade with her even when the restrictions were lifted (I.e In a story where the strength of the Zanpaktou is primarily how one's strength is judged, it’s obvious that Kubo not showing hers meant something was being set up. It’s more likely that Lille was made in part to delve into this plotline)
- Sidenote: Additionally Nanao's last name is “Ise” which is likely in reference the famous Ise Shrine in Japan. It’s a landmark with deep historical and religious importance.
- Sidenote 2: It was way back in April of 2007, Chapter 158 that we learn about Shunsui Hairpin and the Kimono from bonus pages in the manga. It’s only of note because many don’t know that Kubo tends to invent characters with tons of lore but he picks and chooses when to reveal it (sometimes he just keeps it tucked claiming “it’s a secret”). The Content covered here happens in chapter 652, a long way away from 158.
- Sidenote 3: Another point to consider is that thus far every OG royal guard member has turned into or was some divine eldritch creature

beautiful episode
Excellent episode
The voice in the end is Bass B
Shinsui is my goat 🐐 also the voice at the end is Bazz-B I think
Shunsui's sword didnt create nanao's sword. nanao's sword is a sword passed down her family line, that her mother asked shunsui to hide away, so shunsui's sword(the one he calls ohana) created okyo(the other sword spirit) and she used her powers of hide and seek to stash nanao's family sword. idk if they are implying that originally his zanpakuto was a single blade before that and then became two for the sake of hiding the ritual sword, but hey its wild lol
This is Nanao's First Fight against the One of the Strongest Royal Elite Guard of Yhwach and yeah Nanao is Scared because she's Literally fighting Lille Barro's God Level but thankfully Shunsui is there to help her..
Kyoraku's second zanpakuto (was hiding nanao's )
Btw guys you can react to the op now, all spoilers have been revealed
The power creep in this fight was absolutely ridiculous to the point where this new sword has to come completely out of nowhere as a plot device to take out OP barro. Kind of crazy
4:37 I think they said the new bleach game will only be till the end of the arancar arc is what I heard
That fkn soundtrack wow
1:27 nothing but factsss
Surely Lille Barro is done now, right? Right? 😏
and now we have 3 episodes left, since we are going to have 14 episodes
Bro got a haircut
Kubo gave the vice captains their shine that they deserve in both Nemu and Nanao in these recent eps. But the royal guards are so broken if it isn't a bad matchup for them both Kyorako and Mayuri would get annihilated ( ex.Kenny)
and still we have gerard and askin left
Is it just me or does lille's form look like the elden beast from elden ring. Even his trumpet attack looked like those little onion looking trumpet guys in the game.
the voice at the end is bazz b
I think wand and sword is a close 2nd , we can't forget
not many fights left, can't wait for the 1 v all next season, trust me, that viking is op
