Same here, hollows/arrancar are my favorite race in Bleach. I'd love to see more on them, especially the really ancient ones like Barragan and Ikomikidomoe.
Steps: 1. Die. 2. Rip off your chain. 3. After you become a hollow, commit cannibalism. 4. When you transform into a Gillian, commit more cannibalism. 5. When you get the adjuchas stage, commit way more cannibalism and eat like if you were luffy 'till you're full. 6. When you become vasto lorde, rip off your mask. Boom, you have achieved the most powerfull arrancar stage. - Instructions by Gin Ichimaru, for Aizen.
The despair and then hunger for souls alongside corruption is such a strong theme. Ironically they sure united and waged asymmetric attrition based warfare against the Quincies when they occupied Heuco Mundo, more so since the Quincies saw fit to brutally wipe them out. Even Grimmjow was shaken up by what he saw. Things have gotten somewhat better in the aftermath with Las Noches becoming a beacon of safety through Harribel and Nel's efforts.
It would be cool to have a spin off of a spirit starting out as a human who died, then tragically transform into a hollow and go through the hollow stages and become a vasto lorde
Hollows has always been a favorite topic of mine, especially when you explain so much lore & detail. I go back to your throwback video's and rediscover of what I forgotten or missed.

I think the aspects of death Barragan talked about is a big component to a Menos Grande's evolution, and might even be the key to how they become Vasto Lorde. Ulquiorra mentions in his flashback that he had no memories from before he became a Vasto Lorde, and we know that the Espada were embodiments of their aspects of death, with it dominating their ideals, personalities, and so on. So, as a Gillian, turning your aspect of death into an obsession allows you to retain your individuality and overcome all the other hollows. Eventually you gain emough energy to evolve into an Adhujas. Then you need both enough power AND enlightenment of some kind on your specific aspect of death to be quite literally reborn into a Vasto Lorde. With each step, your aspect of death comsumes you until you become the embodiment of it.
@@Justanaveragenoob8781 each of the 10 Espada represent one of the 10 aspects of death. Ie the 10 core causes of death. And we learn that this isn't limited to the Espada. Meaning they aren't just the 10 strongest Hollows but the strongest of their respective aspects of death. This is why Luppi wasn't the 7th Espada despite only being a hair weaker than Grimmjow. Both Grimmjow and Luppi represent the same aspect of death: destruction, though in different ways. The 10 aspects are Rage (Yammi) Greed (Aaroniero) Madness (Szayelaporro) Ecstasy (Zommari) Destruction (Grimmjow) Despair (Nnoitora) Nothingness (Ulquiorra) Sacrifice (Halibel) Senescence (Barragan) Solitude (Stark) Each of those aspects governs the Hollows and vice versa. "We Espadas each govern a different form of death. There are ten causes of death. They are our abilities, our thoughts, and the reasons for our existence."
The espada are given aspect of death titles by aizen. They don't mean anything unlike quincy shrifts so it doesn't make sense. YOU over come the hive but if you don't continue eating as a adjchas that hive returns and you become a menos once more. THe way to be a vasto lorde could simply be the ability to survive and not even get a single bit of you removed as grimjows party slightly assumed and why they couldn't make a single bit once grimjow bit em. Like we know ulqs mask began to crack when he found a tree to relate to the emptiness he felt in his soul, it could simply be them finding something to fill the void like stark could've shattered his mask the moment he spilt cause he was no longer lonely the death titles are given by aizen but they don't mean anything else. And at the end of the day the closest person to his ish is barragan and yammy.

Oh it’s insane to me that the silhouette used in the original chapter to explain the classes of menos, the vasto lorde, is probably the basis Kubo used when he designed White. Looks almost exactly the same.
Its legit Ulquiorra in his white vasto hollow form as the outline is legit similar to it, white is made to be humanoid as he was apart of aizens tests to holloifiy and study hollows white is however just a normal ass artifical hollow.
You know... I did absolutely forget about the end of Chapter 25 when Grand Fisher was first turned into an Arrancar. That chapter was so long ago and I believe the anime just completely skipped it if I am not mistaken. Probably why it was so easy to forget.
Here how I think these forms are how I think about the hollow evolution: 1- normal hollow 2- gillian 3- adjcaus 4- vasto lorde 5- lunar(arrancar/shredded hollow mask) 6- resurrection 7- resurrection segenda etapa
It goes 1. Normal hollow 2. Gillian 3. adhujas 4. Vasto lorde 5. Arrancar ( shredded hollow mask ) 6. Ressureccion 7. Segunda etapa 8. Beyond ressureccion a what if hogyoku form created by kubo ( the final evolution ). Arrancars can only achieve this form with artificial hogyoku's created by aura michibane or the actual hogyoku itself. And given that aura michibane now lives in hueco mundo at the end of the CFYOW novel and is friends with the arrancars this form is possible to achieve.
Any random Hollow can become an Arrancar. It's more of a mutation that a natural part of their evolution. So it would be more like Hollow \ Giant hollow \ Gillian Arrancar Adhujas / Vasto Lorde /
@@corruptangel6793 Anything below vasto lorde needs the hogyoku to become an arrancar. An arrancar is a natural part of a hollows evolution. Stark and ulquiorra prove this. It's the final evolution for a hollow. But the hogyoku allows hollows below vasto lorde to skip that. And then you have an arrancars ressureccion and segunda etapa after becoming an arrancar.
@BigJohn not at all. All it is is the removal of the mask to gain soul Reaper like powers. However, the mask, as explained by rukia in the first arc and reaffirmed by Ginjo, is the Hollow's vital spot, and if their mask is destroyed, they're supposed to die. This is why "natural" born Arrancar are so impossibly rare. Somehow, they need to remove their mask without dying. Aizen simply used the Hogyoku to force the process, but to a much higher state of perfection than having another hollow forcibly rip it off like with Grand Fisher
@@corruptangel6793 Huh really ? I thought you needed to become a vasto lorde to be an arrancar naturally. From what the CFYOW said there were arrancars in the past long before aizen came along. From barragans younger days even. Ikimikdomoe an ancient hollow was also aware of arrancars. Meaning that arrancars have been apart of hueco mundo for a very long time.
Im assuming your talking about the hollow white and if you are there unfortunately its isnt much to say about him other than he was a hollow created by aizen that created by merging the souls of several different shinigami which is one of the reasons why even tho hes a hollow he fight’s like a shinigami, eventually both ichigo’s mom and dad come into contact white and white ends up poisoning ichigo’s mom by merging his soul with hers and thats the last we see of white in his own body since he is now part of ichigo’s soul and has become his zankpakuto spirit as well as the source of his hollow powers. Power wise white is a very powerful hollow but despite being specially made by aizen the only powers he has that are different is hollow venom and a self destruct mechanism that will go off if he becomes to wounded.
ik my explanation was a bit messy but there is an entire wiki that explains the hollow white if you want a better and more coherent one im not a professional when it comes to explaining hollows
2:10 no Sora was corrupted by other hollows didn't naturally become a hollow... Yes Sora was not able to pass on because he was worried about orihime but that wasn't the reason he became a hollow.
@@michaelhuit ohhhh that sora, sorry, havent watched bleach in a while, i asked whether it was tybw or not cause generally if its the tybw war anime i treat it with higher regard than manga., therefore the safest bet is that it never happened.
Agreed. Harribel's Fracciones getting into the fight was great and seeing them take exception to Opie's murderous treatment of his underlings makes sense given Harribel does not engage in such brutality. She finds it abhorrent in fact.
I kind of noticed that the higher a Hollow evolves, it loses more of its mask, as shown in Ichigo’s forms while in control or when Arrancar releases it’s sword.
I mean not really. And some arrancars in their release states still have their mask with no change. Hell theres a few that still completely have their hollow forms. Its less when a hollow evolves and its more up to how fate sees it. As barragan didn't even have a mask he was ancient hollow who had a skull face, that one tree arrancar is completely hollow those few arrancars whose maskes were forced off and reverted to a more hollow like state as still completely hollows. For when a hollow evolves they don't lose more of their mask its when the mask begins to crack or when its forced off is when they lose more of their mask Even then it isn't a 100% its more like a spin of the wheel
There is a parallel between Shinigami and Hollows in evolution and growth Regular Plus - Hollow Plus with a Asauchi - Gillian Plus with a Shikai - Adjuchas Plus with a Bankai - Vasto Lorde Perhaps in order to evolve into a Vasto Lorde they have go though a similar process to how Shinigami obtain a Bankai
Hollow lore was actually what drew me into watching Bleach in the first place (I hadn't read the manga yet at the time). And though I like Soul Society Arc just as much despite lacking Hollows, I was disappointed when SA arc was (in the anime) followed by Bount Arc, which felt very weird to me.
There's also the sort of 'Aspect of Death' part to the Menos Grande. This aspect of death is what allows Gillians to become Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde. Heck, Barragan even mentions the aspects of death the Espada possess. An example is Grimmjow's aspect of death, destruction, or Barragan's own aspect, age.
it isn't tho the aspects of death are titles hell pretty sure aizen gave it to them to sound checky.ALSO barragans aspect is DEATH given aging deals with every single factor of it. The titles could be given by aizen or even the pre king himself to represent their personalities and powers.
Fair point. I always thought their mask naturally come off or can especially how human like one's you 👀 see in the new style Hueco Mundo was in the new season.
I do wonder exactly what the requirement is to become a vasto lorde. Heck, from what we've seen they don't seem to be a standard "evolution" in most cases. Almost all of them seem to be "born" in that state considering Tier, Ulquiorra, and Starrk's statements. Of them Ikomikidomoe seems to be the only menos that showed the ability to devour their way up to vasto lorde, and even then it refused to as adjuchas let it continue to grow near infinitely instead. There really does seem to be a "chosen one" aspect to becoming a vasto lorde class. CFYOW did state that Neliel and Grimmjow were around Vasto Lorde class at that point, but being an arrancar it didn't really seem to change them. Kinda makes me wonder if an arrancar who was an adjuchas could become a true vasto lorde, and would it change their resurreccion due to their hollow form and power altering?
This is just a theory, but due to the fact that hollows do infact have souls (just tainted ones), and a fullbringer is able to control the "souls" of all living reiatsu, i wonder if a powerful fulbringer after death would be able to keep their soul and personality intact after becoming a hollow. Wich would be crazy. Itd be an insane power up for almost anyone. Youde have a fullbring and hollow form thata really only limited to the amount of strong hollows youve consumed.
Fullbring is literally tapping into the same powers as a hollow, without actually becoming a hollow. Fullbringers can summon their own powers directly from themselves without need of a Zanpakuto. Quincies have total reiatsu manipulation, the ultimate technique. And Soul Reapers use the power of another soul to draw out their own. Combining these three creates the ultimate life form. Hence, meet ICHIGO.
I remember reading somewhere ages ago that to become a Vasto Lorde you'd have to consume shinigami souls, back then people came up with this theory because they thought Ichigo had achieved his Vasto Lorde form because he had shinigami and hollow powers combined.
I always took ulquiorra as the peak of what a hollow might be, he never sacrificed his regenerative powers so in theory he could've been much stronger had he done so but also he was the closest in essence of what a hollow is, a being of desire that lacks a heart and that was why he awakened powers not even the other vasto lordes did and why he died the way he did. It's implied that he died not of his wounds but because he attained the very thing he seeks, in his last moment he understood what a heart is and fulfilled his purpose as a hollow. if we don't see him in hell arc then that would confirm this.
I theorize that part of what makes a vasto lorde is either consuming a soul king fragment, or just naturally having some inside you when you transform. Think about it, no one seems to have any idea as to what causes the evolution. BUT we know hollows eat other souls. They seem to able to sense the fragments and go after them above other souls. So it makes sense why no one had figured it out yet, because there’s probably not a lot of them floating around. So it’s more like chance.
Can you make a what if episode on if there was a 2nd release after Bankai and what would you like it to be? Does it enhance the perovius Bankai or something else like further evolution or higher plains of existence what Aizen was trying to achieve.
My theory for how a Vasto Lorde is born is quite a simple one; You simply have to retain your memories and sense of self throughout the entire process. When you first become a Hollow you need to be fully aware of who you were as a Plus, and a human before that. When you start to devour other Hollows and become a Gillian, yours needs to be the dominant personality. When you become an Adjuchas you need to maintain that state for as long as possible while you devour to do so... But here's the catch; You can't let yourself slip at _any_ point, if for but a moment you forget who you were as a human, Vasto Lorde is forever denied you. The whole "not losing a single piece of yourself" part is misenterpreted, since Hollows have rejeneration this makes little sense, what it actually means it not losing a single piece of your *mask*, THAT is what matters most. As long as your mask remains intact, then you're good. As for how many Hollows you need to eat to evolve from Adjuchas to Vasto Lorde? It all depends on how strong each individual you eat is, a regular Hollow would be akin to a single chip from a bag of chips, while another Adjuchas would be a big juicy burger, its quality over quantity you're after. As for the number itself? It really all depends on the number of souls contained within each individual body you consume, I'd say a grand total of ten million souls sounds right, which sounds like a lot, but keep in mind the number of souls a mere Hollow might eat, times that by multiple factors required for evolution throught the various stages and a typical Adjuchas might have as many as 500,000 individual souls within themselves!
"Menos" is "Minus", "Grande" is "Big", "Giant", "Great". So "Normal" hollows are called "Menos", and Gillian and higher are Menos Grande. So when you call Gillian as just "Menos", it sounds a bit strange 4me. x)
So when a Shinigami kills an Menos, do the many human souls within that Menos all arrive in the Soul Society? Or does the Menos destroy those other souls by consuming them and only the dominant soul makes it to Soul Society?
Menos is formed when many hollows combine together to become one hollow. So basically only 1 soul is transferred to soul society which is the accumulation of all the souls menos was formed by.... That's what I think atleast 💀
Quincy killing hollows is explicitly stated as special for its ability to destroy souls. Therefore one of two things is true. Either consumed souls count enough to separate and go to soul society, or they get the fate that most commonly occurs when a soul dies. Dissolved into soul particles that get absorbed into the most appropriate spirit realm. Most commonly soul society, because if you're dying in hollow land it likely happened because a hollow ate you, and if a soul reaper kills something the soul goes to soul society. Circumstantial evidence, the fact that consumed souls can become dominant at Gilean stage, shows that at least at that stage it's likely the separation and transfer.
@@ikuzo5847 well an arrancar stated that they lose their individuality as gillians, and that the thought of reverting from adjuchas is scary because you stop having your consciousness. Maybe the souls who lost are trapped or killed as soul sand, or maybe a gillian can turn into different adjuchas each time they evolve.
I have a question: does the hogyoku need to be fully awaken in order to create an arrancar? And why did aizen wait for the hogyoku to fully awake just to start the war
also, remember that Aizen devised a special training program for arrancsrs where they have to complete an obby while carrying a ball to get their res, so nice of him
As a Roblox peroxide player, I can say that to be a menos (Gillian) you have to kill 2 red eyes, then after becoming a menos you have to kill 30 hollows, and you become adjuchas. And when you are adjuchas, you have to defeat 170 other adjuchas or 34 vasto lorde (or destroy 1700 basic hollows) to become vasto lorde
Hey dbz, I was wondering would you think this would make for a good topic as to why early on old man zangetsu took on the form of teenage yhwach, when Ichigo was in bankai... Since you would think a teenage yhwach would be weaker then an adult. But I believe with his powers having 2 origins, old man zangetsu became weaker and his hollow /soul reaper side became stronger since bankai is a soul reaper move. And that hollow Ichigo said their appearance changes the more Ichigo uses one of their powers over the other. I'd imagine that hollow Ichigo has to go back to his original self to give Ichigo the boost he needs in bankai, while old man keeps him surprised to looking identical to Ichigo.
So bleach is basically japanese(shinigami) and germans (quincy) fighting spanish (hollow)? and also at some point, the germans wage war against japanese?
Ikomikidomoe wasn't a VastoLorde. he was an ancient adjuhas capable of growing endlessly by consuming other souls( the average Adjuhas has a limit on how much they can grow in power before they evolve into a VL or an Arrancar), that was specifically stated in the LN.
bro you forgot something -you become a arrancar -you spin for a good weapon,clan and res -get elite grade -complete a obby for partial res -complete 13 raids - kill bawa,10 elite grade players from oposite race, kill 80 hollows -find your inner hollow destroy random kid's lifes
Hello ^^' I'm a beginner artist and want to write/draw a bleach webcomic one day.. Is it possible for you to explain the Zanpakuto (with the asauchi) in a whole and the Hollow-Zanpakuto relationship of Ichigo/Vizards in one video or two videos?
Actually, there was only 1 confirmed vasto lord arrancar among the espada and that was coyote stark. The others like green Joe were adjuchas before becoming arrancars. It is speculated that ulkiora was a vasto lord too but no real confirmation has ever been given by kubo.
@Thenobleclad Nope. She was an adjushas. However, she already had 3 fracions even before becoming an espada so maybe if she readsorpt them before becoming an arrancar she could have become a vasto lord.
I think its a bit odd that the hollow mask usually symbolizes the strength of a hollow and will signifigantly decrease their power if damaged. So seeing some gain a power boost and straight up evolve from is a bit odd.
I got a question do demons exist in Bleach its just a what if question im asking like what if they did what part wood they play in the cycle in the world of bleach.
Other than the "Kushanāda" from the 4th Bleach movie (which isn't canon) we have only seen one demon in Bleach: "The Demon of Zaraki." Tosen foresaw it, Nozarashi revealed it, but Kubo hinted at it from the beginning when he wrote the phrase "Consume everything, Demon of the Bloosthirsty Blade" to describe Kenpachi Zaraki.
That's pretty much what Hollows are. Demons are often described as evil spirits that consume souls and Hollows are evil spirits that consume souls. Not all demons are stereotypical red with horns, batwings and a pointy tail
@@0kamar189 Another reason I hope the 👻 ghouls or hollows that becomes by removing their holes of the Hell Arc work for or their actual demons in their there.
I'm a little disappointed you didn't cover the finer details of Hollows. Like how their powers are more like spiritual mech suits, or that the ranking of the Espada is more tied to the evolution of an Hollow into a Vasto Lorde. You didn't even cover the similarities of the Arrancar who evolved into Vasto Lorde prior nor their character traits. What about how the Mask is the real form of the spirit and the body is just a spiritual projection and that the body serves as a shield to protect the soul which operates as the base for the Hollow. You could've covered how Kubo used Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans as inspiration for the Hollows in Hueco Mundo. Could shed light on what happens when a "Hollow" is cut with a Zanpakuto (which is actually a key to the Soul Society) meaning the Hollow is being taught culture and traditions rather than being destroyed by Quincy which is clear what they represent.
NGL I think Hollows are the coolest species in the Bleach world. I wouldn’t mind a spin-off based on them since I find them so fascinating.
There's a filler in the anime covering the forest of menos under hueco mundo. It might be up your alley

2- gillian
3- adjcaus
4- vasto lorde

8. Beyond ressureccion a what if hogyoku form created by kubo ( the final evolution ). Arrancars can only achieve this form with artificial hogyoku's created by aura michibane or the actual hogyoku itself. And given that aura michibane now lives in hueco mundo at the end of the CFYOW novel and is friends with the arrancars this form is possible to achieve.
Any random Hollow can become an Arrancar. It's more of a mutation that a natural part of their evolution. So it would be more like

Giant hollow \
Gillian Arrancar
Adhujas /
Vasto Lorde /
@@corruptangel6793 Anything below vasto lorde needs the hogyoku to become an arrancar. An arrancar is a natural part of a hollows evolution. Stark and ulquiorra prove this. It's the final evolution for a hollow. But the hogyoku allows hollows below vasto lorde to skip that. And then you have an arrancars ressureccion and segunda etapa after becoming an arrancar.
@BigJohn not at all. All it is is the removal of the mask to gain soul Reaper like powers. However, the mask, as explained by rukia in the first arc and reaffirmed by Ginjo, is the Hollow's vital spot, and if their mask is destroyed, they're supposed to die. This is why "natural" born Arrancar are so impossibly rare. Somehow, they need to remove their mask without dying.
Aizen simply used the Hogyoku to force the process, but to a much higher state of perfection than having another hollow forcibly rip it off like with Grand Fisher
@@corruptangel6793 Huh really ? I thought you needed to become a vasto lorde to be an arrancar naturally. From what the CFYOW said there were arrancars in the past long before aizen came along. From barragans younger days even. Ikimikdomoe an ancient hollow was also aware of arrancars. Meaning that arrancars have been apart of hueco mundo for a very long time.
can you cover the black hollow that appeared in the 1000 year blood war arc, thank you for video as well, very informative
Im assuming your talking about the hollow white and if you are there unfortunately its isnt much to say about him other than he was a hollow created by aizen that created by merging the souls of several different shinigami which is one of the reasons why even tho hes a hollow he fight’s like a shinigami, eventually both ichigo’s mom and dad come into contact white and white ends up poisoning ichigo’s mom by merging his soul with hers and thats the last we see of white in his own body since he is now part of ichigo’s soul and has become his zankpakuto spirit as well as the source of his hollow powers. Power wise white is a very powerful hollow but despite being specially made by aizen the only powers he has that are different is hollow venom and a self destruct mechanism that will go off if he becomes to wounded.
ik my explanation was a bit messy but there is an entire wiki that explains the hollow white if you want a better and more coherent one im not a professional when it comes to explaining hollows
@@timdagodthe explanation was perfect, i had almost forgotten the whole part where aizen created it. Thank you
@@isildur4664 No problem glad u could understand my explanation
2:10 no Sora was corrupted by other hollows didn't naturally become a hollow... Yes Sora was not able to pass on because he was worried about orihime but that wasn't the reason he became a hollow.
In the anime that's what happened, but the manga never depicts this
@@michaelhuit ohh
@@michaelhuit In the TYBW anime?
@@cyrusmann5443 Sora is from... Episode 3, I think, of the original run. Very early Hollow fight in the series.
@@michaelhuit ohhhh that sora, sorry, havent watched bleach in a while, i asked whether it was tybw or not cause generally if its the tybw war anime i treat it with higher regard than manga., therefore the safest bet is that it never happened.
Hollows is the best thing about bleach I was ecstatic when I ready tybw long time ago and it was all based on the fact huco muendo was under attack
Agreed. Harribel's Fracciones getting into the fight was great and seeing them take exception to Opie's murderous treatment of his underlings makes sense given Harribel does not engage in such brutality. She finds it abhorrent in fact.
I kind of noticed that the higher a Hollow evolves, it loses more of its mask, as shown in Ichigo’s forms while in control or when Arrancar releases it’s sword.
I mean they kinda mentuoned that at the beginning of the hueco mundo arc so this is confirmed.
I mean not really. And some arrancars in their release states still have their mask with no change. Hell theres a few that still completely have their hollow forms. Its less when a hollow evolves and its more up to how fate sees it. As barragan didn't even have a mask he was ancient hollow who had a skull face, that one tree arrancar is completely hollow those few arrancars whose maskes were forced off and reverted to a more hollow like state as still completely hollows. For when a hollow evolves they don't lose more of their mask its when the mask begins to crack or when its forced off is when they lose more of their mask Even then it isn't a 100% its more like a spin of the wheel
i dont think the mask cracks cause of evolution it can be the natural formation of arrancars
nice and friendly moderation at the end. greetings from Germany
TRANSFORAMTION GUIDE, you teaching us how to become hollows???
There is a parallel between Shinigami and Hollows in evolution and growth
Regular Plus - Hollow
Plus with a Asauchi - Gillian
Plus with a Shikai - Adjuchas
Plus with a Bankai - Vasto Lorde
Perhaps in order to evolve into a Vasto Lorde they have go though a similar process to how Shinigami obtain a Bankai
That doesn’t make sense because the vizards need their mask to fight Gillians
Thanks for the guide. Will try it later.
Thx for the guide man really helped me evolve into a vasto lord don't tell any srs I'm here
I can finely evolve into a vatso
this really helps me as a hollow thx bro
Hollow lore was actually what drew me into watching Bleach in the first place (I hadn't read the manga yet at the time). And though I like Soul Society Arc just as much despite lacking Hollows, I was disappointed when SA arc was (in the anime) followed by Bount Arc, which felt very weird to me.
Bount arc is just a filler arc.
Kubo worked a lot for Hollow lore. Wished he did the same when trying to incorporate Aizen into the story
Aizen was supposed to have minimal backstory to remain mysterious
I love Bleach!!
Can you do a video about the Quincy glove?
Bein a hollow seems like a trial to redeem ur soul through hardship, tuff
There's also the sort of 'Aspect of Death' part to the Menos Grande. This aspect of death is what allows Gillians to become Adjuchas or Vasto Lorde. Heck, Barragan even mentions the aspects of death the Espada possess. An example is Grimmjow's aspect of death, destruction, or Barragan's own aspect, age.
it isn't tho the aspects of death are titles hell pretty sure aizen gave it to them to sound checky.ALSO barragans aspect is DEATH given aging deals with every single factor of it. The titles could be given by aizen or even the pre king himself to represent their personalities and powers.
Didn't know the grand fisher was forced to evolve thought he did it on his own
Fair point. I always thought their mask naturally come off or can especially how human like one's you 👀 see in the new style Hueco Mundo was in the new season.
I do wonder exactly what the requirement is to become a vasto lorde. Heck, from what we've seen they don't seem to be a standard "evolution" in most cases. Almost all of them seem to be "born" in that state considering Tier, Ulquiorra, and Starrk's statements. Of them Ikomikidomoe seems to be the only menos that showed the ability to devour their way up to vasto lorde, and even then it refused to as adjuchas let it continue to grow near infinitely instead. There really does seem to be a "chosen one" aspect to becoming a vasto lorde class.
CFYOW did state that Neliel and Grimmjow were around Vasto Lorde class at that point, but being an arrancar it didn't really seem to change them. Kinda makes me wonder if an arrancar who was an adjuchas could become a true vasto lorde, and would it change their resurreccion due to their hollow form and power altering?
This is just a theory, but due to the fact that hollows do infact have souls (just tainted ones), and a fullbringer is able to control the "souls" of all living reiatsu, i wonder if a powerful fulbringer after death would be able to keep their soul and personality intact after becoming a hollow. Wich would be crazy. Itd be an insane power up for almost anyone. Youde have a fullbring and hollow form thata really only limited to the amount of strong hollows youve consumed.
Fullbring is literally tapping into the same powers as a hollow, without actually becoming a hollow. Fullbringers can summon their own powers directly from themselves without need of a Zanpakuto. Quincies have total reiatsu manipulation, the ultimate technique. And Soul Reapers use the power of another soul to draw out their own. Combining these three creates the ultimate life form. Hence, meet ICHIGO.
@@Hivatel wish he kept his hollow powers.
Ichigo still has his hollow powers
@@bruh545 supposedly he gave them up using final getsuga, he got his soul reapers back but not his hollow that’s why it never popped up again
I MISSED THIS I was gonna watch your culling games explained. Hehe I'm happy
I remember reading somewhere ages ago that to become a Vasto Lorde you'd have to consume shinigami souls, back then people came up with this theory because they thought Ichigo had achieved his Vasto Lorde form because he had shinigami and hollow powers combined.
I Loved It🖤💚!
Nice job reading the fandom word for word
bruuu u forgot the part where they need 10 hogs for gran rey cero and 1 true hog for true vastocar
THIS AIN'T TYPE SOUL CUHH
Aamzing videos🖤💚!
Bleach is amazing and the peroxide game is pretty good
Aye aye sir🖤💚
I always took ulquiorra as the peak of what a hollow might be, he never sacrificed his regenerative powers so in theory he could've been much stronger had he done so but also he was the closest in essence of what a hollow is, a being of desire that lacks a heart and that was why he awakened powers not even the other vasto lordes did and why he died the way he did.
It's implied that he died not of his wounds but because he attained the very thing he seeks, in his last moment he understood what a heart is and fulfilled his purpose as a hollow. if we don't see him in hell arc then that would confirm this.
Wow🖤💚
When i was done watching bleach i always wanted to know how hollows came to the human world in bleach
I theorize that part of what makes a vasto lorde is either consuming a soul king fragment, or just naturally having some inside you when you transform. Think about it, no one seems to have any idea as to what causes the evolution. BUT we know hollows eat other souls. They seem to able to sense the fragments and go after them above other souls. So it makes sense why no one had figured it out yet, because there’s probably not a lot of them floating around. So it’s more like chance.
Can you make a what if episode on if there was a 2nd release after Bankai and what would you like it to be? Does it enhance the perovius Bankai or something else like further evolution or higher plains of existence what Aizen was trying to achieve.
There is.its called shukai
Best villians in all of anime change my mind
I also always wondered what hollows are.
What's the song at 01:20 in the background
Very excited for the hell arc! I think we will see the return of several espada and maybe even a vasto lorde
Gotta be honest Hollows and their Cero are jsut ridiculously cool
My theory for how a Vasto Lorde is born is quite a simple one; You simply have to retain your memories and sense of self throughout the entire process. When you first become a Hollow you need to be fully aware of who you were as a Plus, and a human before that. When you start to devour other Hollows and become a Gillian, yours needs to be the dominant personality.
When you become an Adjuchas you need to maintain that state for as long as possible while you devour to do so... But here's the catch; You can't let yourself slip at _any_ point, if for but a moment you forget who you were as a human, Vasto Lorde is forever denied you. The whole "not losing a single piece of yourself" part is misenterpreted, since Hollows have rejeneration this makes little sense, what it actually means it not losing a single piece of your *mask*, THAT is what matters most. As long as your mask remains intact, then you're good.
As for how many Hollows you need to eat to evolve from Adjuchas to Vasto Lorde? It all depends on how strong each individual you eat is, a regular Hollow would be akin to a single chip from a bag of chips, while another Adjuchas would be a big juicy burger, its quality over quantity you're after. As for the number itself? It really all depends on the number of souls contained within each individual body you consume, I'd say a grand total of ten million souls sounds right, which sounds like a lot, but keep in mind the number of souls a mere Hollow might eat, times that by multiple factors required for evolution throught the various stages and a typical Adjuchas might have as many as 500,000 individual souls within themselves!
"Menos" is "Minus", "Grande" is "Big", "Giant", "Great". So "Normal" hollows are called "Menos", and Gillian and higher are Menos Grande. So when you call Gillian as just "Menos", it sounds a bit strange 4me. x)
menos is the classification of gillian, adjucha, and vasto lorde
Yay🖤💚
So when a Shinigami kills an Menos, do the many human souls within that Menos all arrive in the Soul Society? Or does the Menos destroy those other souls by consuming them and only the dominant soul makes it to Soul Society?
Menos is formed when many hollows combine together to become one hollow. So basically only 1 soul is transferred to soul society which is the accumulation of all the souls menos was formed by.... That's what I think atleast 💀
Quincy killing hollows is explicitly stated as special for its ability to destroy souls. Therefore one of two things is true. Either consumed souls count enough to separate and go to soul society, or they get the fate that most commonly occurs when a soul dies.
Dissolved into soul particles that get absorbed into the most appropriate spirit realm. Most commonly soul society, because if you're dying in hollow land it likely happened because a hollow ate you, and if a soul reaper kills something the soul goes to soul society.
Circumstantial evidence, the fact that consumed souls can become dominant at Gilean stage, shows that at least at that stage it's likely the separation and transfer.
@@ikuzo5847 well an arrancar stated that they lose their individuality as gillians, and that the thought of reverting from adjuchas is scary because you stop having your consciousness. Maybe the souls who lost are trapped or killed as soul sand, or maybe a gillian can turn into different adjuchas each time they evolve.
@@brandenharder6378 when an adjuchas reverts back to Gillian it loses its ability to evolve into an adjuchas forever tho
@@ikuzo5847 oh okay, cool
1 correction, most of the espada were adhuchas, only 1-4 were Vasto lordé
grimmjow was a vasto lorde i believe
@@spear127he wasnt
@@Anon-qp3kt he was, right before he was an arrancar he turned into vasto lorde
I have a question: does the hogyoku need to be fully awaken in order to create an arrancar? And why did aizen wait for the hogyoku to fully awake just to start the war
Wheres the part where adjuchas turn to an albino before going vasto?
This aint type soul lil bro
also, remember that Aizen devised a special training program for arrancsrs where they have to complete an obby while carrying a ball to get their res, so nice of him
SICK video really informative video Much LOVE 😍🥂
It would be cool to see the original human forms of the most powerful hollows
As a Roblox peroxide player, I can say that to be a menos (Gillian) you have to kill 2 red eyes, then after becoming a menos you have to kill 30 hollows, and you become adjuchas. And when you are adjuchas, you have to defeat 170 other adjuchas or 34 vasto lorde (or destroy 1700 basic hollows) to become vasto lorde
i literally only know the progression process through games
Hey dbz, I was wondering would you think this would make for a good topic as to why early on old man zangetsu took on the form of teenage yhwach, when Ichigo was in bankai... Since you would think a teenage yhwach would be weaker then an adult. But I believe with his powers having 2 origins, old man zangetsu became weaker and his hollow /soul reaper side became stronger since bankai is a soul reaper move. And that hollow Ichigo said their appearance changes the more Ichigo uses one of their powers over the other. I'd imagine that hollow Ichigo has to go back to his original self to give Ichigo the boost he needs in bankai, while old man keeps him surprised to looking identical to Ichigo.
So bleach is basically japanese(shinigami) and germans (quincy) fighting spanish (hollow)? and also at some point, the germans wage war against japanese?
Basically
I dont remember Ulquiorra doing an obby to get his res
u didnt see the episode where he meditated, lost, killed other factions, and then found the one with the blue eyes???
Haha I saw the video from Radman on ZKK thoery. And man!!! I'm happy I'm a bleach fan
Notice the Vasto lorde in the image is actually just White
it would be really cool if you could become a soul reaper or hollow or maybe a Quincy.
Oh no way this is bleach? I’ve seen clips of it with my sister. Also the hollows remind me of the transcrip from Utopia and the AOT well titans
cant wait to become a vasto lorde thx
you know, the way bleach hollows hunger souls reminds me a lot of darksouls hollows, wonder if bleach played a role in inspiration there
I don't know about y'all but I wanna see like the first hollow or the first hollow to go vasto lorde or adjuchas
What about the Primordial Vasto Lordes like Barragan and Ikomikidomoe?
Ikomikidomoe wasn't a VastoLorde. he was an ancient adjuhas capable of growing endlessly by consuming other souls( the average Adjuhas has a limit on how much they can grow in power before they evolve into a VL or an Arrancar), that was specifically stated in the LN.
I missed that background on Grand Fisher somehow.
that image @10:33 with aizen and that girl bottom right breaking the 4th wall seems kinda sus
That's actually Luppi, who is a feminine man.
bro you forgot something
-you become a arrancar
-you spin for a good weapon,clan and res
-get elite grade
-complete a obby for partial res
-complete 13 raids
- kill bawa,10 elite grade players from oposite race, kill 80 hollows
-find your inner hollow
destroy random kid's lifes
Hello ^^'
I'm a beginner artist and want to write/draw a bleach webcomic one day.. Is it possible for you to explain the Zanpakuto (with the asauchi) in a whole and the Hollow-Zanpakuto relationship of Ichigo/Vizards in one video or two videos?
Actually, there was only 1 confirmed vasto lord arrancar among the espada and that was coyote stark. The others like green Joe were adjuchas before becoming arrancars. It is speculated that ulkiora was a vasto lord too but no real confirmation has ever been given by kubo.
I tought harribel was vasto lorde?
@Thenobleclad Nope. She was an adjushas. However, she already had 3 fracions even before becoming an espada so maybe if she readsorpt them before becoming an arrancar she could have become a vasto lord.
@@archy8822
Nope. Espada 1-4 were Vasto Lordes.
2:04 I’m pretty sure … Orihimie’s brother was turned into a hollow against their own will.
Technically the anime changed this.
Dude where is the part where I get 25 mask cracks
Ok🖤💚
Did Aizen use the crystal to complete gran fisher's transformation?
Bro made a hollow guide Alr bet ima become a hollow
Hey🖤💚
I think its a bit odd that the hollow mask usually symbolizes the strength of a hollow and will signifigantly decrease their power if damaged. So seeing some gain a power boost and straight up evolve from is a bit odd.
Yo🖤💚
So they don’t need to get 25 mask cracks and fight a boss to become a vastocar?
Lmaoooo
Bro just use ten hog frags
@@JamariusPharrel ITS 7
I really wish Kubo hadn’t gotten rid of Ichigo’s mask
not gonna lie the first arrancer form from grand fisher looks cooler than the second
I got a question do demons exist in Bleach its just a what if question im asking like what if they did what part wood they play in the cycle in the world of bleach.
Other than the "Kushanāda" from the 4th Bleach movie (which isn't canon) we have only seen one demon in Bleach: "The Demon of Zaraki." Tosen foresaw it, Nozarashi revealed it, but Kubo hinted at it from the beginning when he wrote the phrase "Consume everything, Demon of the Bloosthirsty Blade" to describe Kenpachi Zaraki.
That's pretty much what Hollows are.
Demons are often described as evil spirits that consume souls and Hollows are evil spirits that consume souls.
Not all demons are stereotypical red with horns, batwings and a pointy tail
You have the jigoku no gaki which are monsters of hell which look pretty demonic
@@0kamar189 Another reason I hope the 👻 ghouls or hollows that becomes by removing their holes of the Hell Arc work for or their actual demons in their there.
I'm a little disappointed you didn't cover the finer details of Hollows. Like how their powers are more like spiritual mech suits, or that the ranking of the Espada is more tied to the evolution of an Hollow into a Vasto Lorde. You didn't even cover the similarities of the Arrancar who evolved into Vasto Lorde prior nor their character traits. What about how the Mask is the real form of the spirit and the body is just a spiritual projection and that the body serves as a shield to protect the soul which operates as the base for the Hollow. You could've covered how Kubo used Blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans as inspiration for the Hollows in Hueco Mundo. Could shed light on what happens when a "Hollow" is cut with a Zanpakuto (which is actually a key to the Soul Society) meaning the Hollow is being taught culture and traditions rather than being destroyed by Quincy which is clear what they represent.
Good job I didn't because you covered it all in this neat comment haha
This is true. Also a little more information on hollows and fullbringers would be helpful.
