Kofi Williams funny but I did think it was nice that captains started caring or at least stopped not giving a shit about their colleagues.

Well, without Aizen, Toshiro would have defeated Haribell at first. She couldn't break out of the ice of her own. So it could very well be considered a win.
You gotta do this series with the Espada. Explaining their aspect of death, what they can do in their normal form and what they can do in their resurrecion
Agreed. I don't think anyone has ever done Starrk justice in how well he embodies loneliness and gives another dimension in the fight of Aizen (being that not all of the Espada are completely aligned with that side). Would be super cool to get that
Its anime, ice is simultaneously OP (a lot of the time, Esdeath from Akame ga Kill for eg) and weak. Instantly freezing everything either ends most fights or they just break out like nothing happen
Plasmancer he’s the only caption who constantly lets his enemies get away with basically no permanent damage. Shit aokiji from one piece would make a much better captain.
The thing to remember is Hyorinmaru is the highest grade ice blade in Soul Society, like Yamamoto's was the highest level fire. They are in the same class of power. The difference is Yamamoto was the oldest and most experienced captain, while Toshiro is the youngest and most green. Even before it's final form reveal it was noted a few times, given 100 more years, Toshiro would be ridiculously broken.
TheNinjaDC it was NEVER stated that Hyourinmaru and Ryuujin Jakka were on the same level wtf. Only that Hyourinmaru is the strongest ice Zanpakuto. Which doesn't mean anything unless there were lots of other strong ice Zanpakuto....there aren't. Fact is, Hyourinmaru is trash. How do you even kill people with it? You have to control a giant ice dragon in attempts to freeze the opponent...only to watch them break out of the ice and being fine lol. Hyourinmaru is literally like: "I'll do my best to make you the least deadly, punishing Shinigami ever!" Gin was also able to stop Hitsugaya's Shikai without even releasing Shinso. He literally just stopped it with the tip of his Wakizashi...damn... Also the whole "boy genius will be op in future" head canon is bullshit. Others like Gin, Byakuya or Soi Fon aren't _that_ much older than Hitsugaya. They are very talented too and would have continued to get stronger, too. At no point is there any kind of indication that he'd ever surpass them
@@bexclue3007 Shunsui said to stark that toshiro would most likely surpass him in a few hundred years so your last point isnt actually correct. Also While its true that hyorinmaru doent seem to have deadly attacks in the same way as many other zanpakutou's, that doesn't necessarily mean its bad. Im not going to say its at the level of ryujinjakka because theres no way to know but essentially it has the ability to control the weather and if that truly is the case that could def be extremely powerful. The potential of ice should def not be underestimated
@@chanceofbliss8175 Yeah Shunsui said that. Just like multiple characters "noted" how Hitsugaya was a genius. Kubo had to make characters say it because - simply from portrayal - no one could tell. He hasn't done anything at all during the entire series that would make viewers go: Wow. What a prodigy. Other than his young age. Again: Hitsugaya's only reason for existing is "having a cool young kid among the captains" and he justifies his young age by saying "he's a genius". A super clieche character that was executed extremely badly.
@Sonic the Artist first if all of someone calls another person adorable that means that person has feelings for that person? Second, how do you know his gender in the first place? 3rd, who are you to judge? Who are you to decide someone's way if life. Your just being a toxic A hole
Honestly, Toshirou was the perfect match for Gerard. He wouldn't kill him. He wouldn't be victiourious over him. He would just freeze him and make it a stalemate. But Kubo was like "nah not good enough" and write himself into a corner until Deus Ex Machina appeared.
Hitsugaya became my favorite third captain when i read the special chapter of his backstory. In some sense it was really sad how he who is meant to be someone so powerful didnt want to hurt the ones he loved. Him becoming a shinigami was very brave
Nah pretty sure Toshiro won that fight. It was a checkmate, Harribel couldn't do anything. If you were in a game of chess, reached a checkmate, but then someone else came over and flicked your piece off the board and just said to play on, you wouldn't really consider it as "oh the games still on I haven't won yet" you'd call it cheating.
Forever Outraged shark girl does not control all source of water. shark girl can create water from her gills, and can manipulate any water in her general vicinity up to a certain body / amount, including its temperature. Toshirou froze her gills, along with everything else on her and the space around her, stretching from the ground to the sky. too much frozen water for her to manipulate, and no space given for her to create more without just freezing that too. she needed Wonderweiss to continue by shattering the ice.
@unholymonkey but she couldn't? deadass, watch the fight, on her own she does nothing, she is encased in ice, and Hitsugaya announces that her life will fade from existence while she's in there. saying Wonderweiss braking her out by screeching (which also blew away the fallout of Soifon's bankai) makes it a loss is like saying throwing someone in a swimming pool with their hands and legs tied isn't murder because someone else drained the pool.
@unholymonkey i doubt Hitsugaya, known child prodigy, would have just walked off and announced his victory and Harribel's eventual death after an attack that "only trapped her for the time being" without Wonderweiss' interference. he took the dub, you're just chatting shit.
@@platinum2263 I think she would have broken out eventually. she was slightly overpowering hitsugaya through most of that fight. that being said he did win the first fight but I wouldn't say it was a clear cut win. I would compare it to Kakashi vs Zabuza. Zabuza technically beat kakashi but then sasuke and naruto broke him out.
I personally am indifferent towards Toshiro, but I really love his powers, the way I see it: Ice/Cold and Electricity/Lightning are the most badass powers you can have (this is mainly the reason I particularly enjoy seeing Aokiji) they are just so visually cool and the ice is extremely versatile, if you are creative enough you can basically apply it to every kind of situation
Have you seen the Cant Fear Your Own World Espada designs that have been releasing in Bleach Brave Souls? Will you have a discussion video about these designs?
Yeah I wish he would discuss them too cause they are so cool. Where did they actually show up during the novel though? Have been reading it in chunks and haven't heard those said yet. Oh and Ichigo's two what if forms are super cool.
He couldn't maintain his adult form because it was similar to final getsuga tenshou and Gon's adult form. He needs to be in his Bankai mode for 24/7 which must be draining. Not to mention his mental state was permanently stuck in a child's nature so it was definitely would last less as an adult. Toshirou was just overshadowed by other characters.
Toshiro is basically anime main character. He’s a badass that looks young so people overlook him. He’s cool looking, ice is cool, his power has an interesting gimmick, and he’s honestly the most emotionally invested in the whole Aizen thing other than Gin and Momo. Also his Vice captain.... 👌
Your synopsis on toshiro vs holibell is wrong cause she didn't break out herself. She needed help otherwise maybe she would've been trapped for a thousand years.
@@ayeayeil7111 yeah, but he said it while missing the point. He said it while saying it wasnt a victory for toshiro, but if she wasn't able to get free by her own power and had to be broke out then he did win their isolated battle.
Favorite Ice Cream is coffee or oreo/cookies n cream. Love Toshiro he is my favorite character in Bleach. I very quickly found him interesting cause he felt like he was a protag in a story that already had a protag XD and actually as the show went on him and Ichigo had more and more similarities. Both are young people with huge amounts of potential that they can't tap into yet, both carry their swords on their back and have blue energy, and both have two potential love interests with one being dark haired and having a smaller cuter physique(who is their better potential love interest) and the other is a well endowed orange haired girl.
I always liked Toshirou because it seems he's constantly trying to prove that he is a proper captain as well despite being young. He has many cool and strong abilities but due to how immature his bankai is, he can't maintain them for a long time or effectively which of course defeats the purpose. Still he got a lot of potential to be one of the strongest captains.
Ice well in at least a couple of the battles Yooha (however it's spelled) comes and *_takes_* their powers away, so there's that I know it was due to the creator having to wrap up the series so quickly that he resorted to doing that but strategically it makes no sense and I personally would've preferred seeing how (if they even could) the crew get past these broken-ass abilities
KainaX122 I believe he could of ended better than how he did even with the limited time he had left with bleach. He could of allowed byakuya, hitsugaya and kenpachi kill Gerard with that last trio combo attack they did but no he had to make Gerard heal again for no reason just to have the boss kill him anyway. That was stupid writing
Ice agreed there are certainly better ways he could've ended those fights Do we know why they told him to end the series? I would've thought it was doing well
Eh, probably more that most Bleach fights end in cutting the other person down more so than I outsmarted and captured them. But if Maiyuri can do it, Toshiro should be able to as well. XD
Yep. Both Harribel and Luppi needed to be saved otherwise they would’ve died or been trapped forever. A better analogy would be imagine getting knocked out by someone and having a friend help you up and then you try to say it was a draw.
Exactly. Lupei got helped by this ultra powerful beam of light that the captns were sure wouldnt be able to be broken by them. So why the hell would his ice prison be called flimsy? And halibel showed ZERO signs of being able to break out of that on her own. She didnt even blink.
Also Toshiro is badass Sure hes bottom of my top ten but the boy did cool shit. Lol he did more than jushiro for damn sure and i know for a fact tekking had 0 problems with him. And hell Mayuri has only won 2 or 3 fights as well.. And i know he likes byakuya being as he was hoping he would be last amd excited for it. And Byakuya is the same as Toshiro in the fandom. I dont get tekking at all.
@@lillith7257 I disagree with Byakuya being the same as Toshiro in the fandom. Mostly because Byakuya not only lived up to his hype most of the time, he also tends to either destroy his opponents or just barely lose. Meanwhile Toshiro either wins sort of outside the box or his fight gets interrupted. The only thing similar they have going for them is the love of fan girls and even then I'd argue Byakuya's might actually be a detriment to his character arc vs Toshiro, it never really mattering. As for Mayuri, I'd point out that the difference there is that Mayuri fights a lot less fights and thus has far less defeats or even struggle if we're being honest. The only person that got lots of fights and kept looking badass was Ichigo and for that to happen he literally had to have a monster crawl out of him at various points during the series.
Just noticed how long tekken can talk for without stumbling. The amount of cuts he does is actually really impressive seeing as how I can barely speak a sentence without stopping or stumbling unless I’ve practiced it to hell
I loved Toshiro in the Quincy arc. Does nothing, dies, revives, turns into the hottest guy ever, does nothing. It went just as expected. I just realised the coolest guy turned into the hottest guy, Kubo loves irony.
That One Person in Buddy I agree, it’s definitely sad. And I never understood why Tekking dislikes Toshiro. Is it because of his personality or his attitude? Or maybe it’s because he wants people to call him by his last name Hitsugaya? I really don’t care about any of it. Toshiro’s my favorite along with Soi-Fon and other characters as well.
Imagine if toshiro was the one to give ichigo his powers? Since he is related to isshin and all. Christian hell: worst experience ever! Buddhist hell: hold my beer. Hmm toshiro vs esdeath
Toshiro would beat Esdeath. The problem with the fight is that Esdeath doesn't have a method to see Toshiro. Now if we remove that factor, I'd be inclined to side with Esdeath on the simple fact that she can freeze freaking time.
Still waiting for a Zanpakuto video for the strongest character in Bleach... You know the man the myth the legend himself! Jirōbō Ikkanzaka! He was a former 4th Seat of the Seventh Division and his nickname was Kamaitachi. He's a pretty big deal and I'm surprised nobody talks about him. So lets see this video happen!! From Brandon
@@Eeter26 Your absolutely right.. It all makes sense now! That's why he didn't use his bankai against Uryu. Uryu underestimated the myth himself. If only Jirobo showed the world his bankai.. If only... From: Brandon
@@Eeter26 that's the 7th Kenpachi, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, he was Shunsui's Best Friend and drinking body, he is like an Aniki to the 11th division and their Captain, he was killed by the 8th Kenpachi, Kenpachi Azashiro
Toshiro’s sword always seemed weird considering it’s powers. Tekking the ice crunching thing make me remember that during the final math class of high school a classmate offered a solid jolly rancher and I happened to crunch it and surprised her and made a joke on it when she asked
well Toshiro may be a fan favorite character but was he Kubo's favorite? That's the thing. Mayori has a great track record because he is obviously Kubo's favorite. I don't think Toshiro is. Honestly though, Toshiro suffers the same fate as the majority of the characters in bleach. They all get pretty lackluster performances. some might get like one or two moments to shine but that's it. When was chad ever really relevant outside when he first got his power? Orihime defeated a hollow when she got her power but after that the only ability of hers that works is her defensive ones. So many shinigami were introduced but the majority of them don't do anything all that great. When you have a large cast of characters, the chance for any one of them to shine becomes small. That's why one piece almost entirely focuses on the straw hats. That's why Dragon Ball pretty much follows Goku and Vegeta these days. That's why Fairy Tail with its large cast of characters really only follows the antics of the main couple characters. Bleach kept introducing new characters, hyped them up to be badasses, then did nothing with them because its impossible to give everyone the spotlight. In my opinion they should have only focused on maybe one or two divisions to start. Byakuya had to go retrieve Rukia so maybe just focus on his division to start. Have ichigo fight against his division and eventually different arcs would branch out and have ichigo chilling with different divisions. This would let you build up the key players in each division in an arc dedicated to them. Bleach had a lot of wasted potential. Honestly almost every arc in bleach seemed rushed to me.
Couldn’t agree more. Kubo is a great artist but he needs others to write his stories. He is not a storyteller at all. Needs to take ashihara when it comes to large casts.
I'd put him up there with Esdeath (Akame Ga kill), Free (Soul Eater), Aokiji (One Piece), Todoroki (Boku no Hero) and Horokeu Usui (Shaman King). His powers are cool, especially his true bankai but his personality and character are pretty boring.
@@FryedPidgey Yeah I really never found his personality/character more dynamic it's like he's kinda there to be badass or whatsoever and I think the characters you have mentioned has more character and personality than Toshirou
@@chimeraking5286 100% agree. Horo - Horo was also my favourite character in shaman king because of the way he fights with a snowboard (also he's funny). He's the reason I started snowboarding haha.
@@FryedPidgey I actually always really liked his personality as a character. I viewed him like this. He is a prodigy, the youngest captain to ever claim a seat. He has all this expectation placed upon him, all these people looking to him to do great things. So he is constantly overcompensating for his immaturity, trying to be the stoic and badass captain that he sees in Byakuya (for example). However, you notice that a lot of characters around him act childishly, and try to get him involved in the acting up. I think the others are picking up on the deeply buried desire to still be young and immature, and he hates it so much because he feels like he can't be that person.
It isn't that they are the same skills in shikai and bankai, it's that he has such mastery over his zanpakto, that he can use his bankai skills in shikai
@@awadiaali2977 he can actually use his Bankai abilities in Shikai, because of his mastery over his Zanpakuto. Which is why there are "stronger versions" of his attacks while in Bankai.
Funny thing is Toshiro failed to kill major enemies like Harribel and Luppi after encasing them with chunk of ice but Kubo made Rukia's zanpakuto is the coldest one, not the "powerful" one so there is a contradiction there. And, she managed to kill several major enemies like that Ninth Espada and As Nodth. Then we gotten to know the differences between Shikai and Bankai of Hyorinmaru is the quantity of ice its generates. I personally think Hyorinmaru is just a fancy zanpakuto with fancy attack names with fancy reiatsu but not really intimidating. If I were an enemy to shinigami and had to fight with ice based zanpakuto, I'd rather fight Toshiro's Hyorinmaru than Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki.
2 abilities are different. Because Toshiro is more man and buff likely. And Rukia's is more female and lighter than Toshiro's bankai. So yeah the most advantage ice gets is lighter. That's how Rukia's is stronger than him. But also Rukia's bankai most likely one point release and Toshiro is time based bankai. Yet we see different in quincy arc having like dangai mode more mature Toshiro.
If I were Toshiro I would constantly pile on more and more ice after I froze someone. Once Harribel was in the pillar of ice flowers I'd keep that power going as long as I could, make the pillar really big, then probably throw the move he used on Luppi on top of that a few times. Probably would also cast some Bakudo on there to be sure. Nobody has ever stayed properly imprisoned in his ice so he should really start taking precautions
The way I understand how the "ice clone that can bleed" thing works is that Toushirou creates an ice statue that is minimally sculpted so that the angles of the ice crystals reflect and refract the light to make the illusion of color and shape. The blood could only be a multitude of ice crystals shaped in the exact shape to reflect the crimson red color of blood.
Can you make a video on the Espada vs Akatsuki.( I know Espada wins but it will be a cool video nonetheless) Conditions are if the Akatsuki can see them and the other they can’t
I mean seth the programmer already did that awhile back and the tldr is the only real advantage the akatsuki have are itachi and obito beyond that they get negged pretty hard especially if kisame spams water jutsue on harribels vicinity and she can use the one shot technique she has also starkk can fire off Cero equal to or greater than the type zero bomb dedira has
I feel like rukia has a better ice type zanpakto, because she freezes her opponents and shatters them. If you think about it toshiros ice dosnt hurt people
He should have a move called HAIL METEOR that is literally a size of a building but takes a long time to make. His snow flowers can just be creating it while they fight.
I'm sure TEKKING once again , had a rant about toshiro ice clone ability but to the anime credit , they didn't have it be at the end of the episode and they corrected the mistake of having the ice clone bleed out, so the episode just shows the ice clone as a stand still when it got sliced and it just when on break instead of having us wait a whole week for nothing.
tekking says he does not understand why toshiro is so popular and cant get down with it, I don't understand why rukia is so popular. She is sakura 2.0, both hit protagonists, are flat as a board, have short hair, marry someone who tried to kill them. Plus rukia looks like a little boy more then toshiro does.
Man, you were REALLY badmouthing Toshiro at the start of this video. So little hype that the tension was almost palpable. I don't get why you hate on him so much. I mean, he isn't my favorite, but he is definitely a fun character. He's constantly overcompensating for his age difference, always trying to act more mature than he actually is, and just barely managing to pull it off. Other characters always seem to pick up on a sense that he desperately wants to just mess around and be young, even as he fights against that side of himself. And his ice dragon is so interesting to watch. As for his record.... I find he's kind of like Worf from Star Trek. He is an insanely powerful prodigy, so he is used to create a sense of power. The idea is "Even Toshiro is having a hard time with this guy, he must be REALLY strong!" As for the Halibel fight being one or two fights... I gotta disagree with you. He froze her in that ice tower. She was as good as trapped there. Even if he didn't destroy her body, he had her beat dead to rights. Then the fight gets interrupted, and she gets freed. To me, that's giving Halibel a second chance, which ended up being interrupted again when Aizen cut her in half. So really, he won that first fight, then had his fight ended by an interloper afterwards (where he wasn't doing so good the second time around).
He has one of the most generic abilities in shonen though. He controls ice and can make dragons come out of his sword. That's about as generic as it gets. Plus for somebody that was considered a prodigy he really doesn't do much of anything. Besides that its weird that 2 characters in the series have ice abilities. Rukia's shikai is more interesting than toshiro's bankai lol
Hyourinmaru is esthetically pleasing but damn impractical when it actually comes down to killing your opponents (and thus winning fights). Suits Hitsugaya. The "omg kawaii boy genius Captain" that...doesn't do anything noteworthy in the entire series lol
Toshiro has a great Zanpakuto buuuut he's one of the weaker captains lol. Mayuri easily takes the W, Aizen ends the fight in one strike twice, Kenpachi says he'd split him in half. He just has such a bad record. He basically beat Cang Du and Shawlong the same way, by surprising him.
Show me one person who's seen Kyouka Suigetsu sword release and was able to beat Aizen (besides God tier Ywach himself). Mayuri's can't beat Histugaya in a 1v1 sword vs sword but add in all of his drugs and what not, he could win. Strongest version of Toshiro vs Strongest version of Kenpachi ain't that easy.
@@visionaryvjae5641 If you read the novels (Spirits are Forever with You) Aizen makes it clear that he didn't want to face Kenpachi with the other captains, so he lured him into Hueco Mundo to face Yammy. Also, despite Yama seeing Kyouka Suigetsu, Aizen used Wonderweiss to make sure he wouldn't be able to fight at full power. That's still besides the point; Hitsugaya has no significant wins. He only beat a Fraccion and a Sternritler who didn't use Vollstandig.
@@Blah2000Blah I said name someone who has BEATEN as in defeated. But for your argument yes Yama would wreck base Aizen at full power but Arrancar arc Kenpachi wouldn't beat Aizen. Aizen was probably afraid of Kenpachi's true power not his supressed power. Now the fact that you had to mention the strongest shinigami in the verse at that time to suggest someone could beat Aizen shows that losing to Aizen isn't an uncommon thing. It's like saying losing to Edo Madara in Naruto is a disgrace🤔 I mean it just bound to happen. Also you realise Aizen is stronger than all the espada in his base form meaning he's stronger than Yammy so him setting up a Kenpachi vs Yammy situation doesn't even suggest Kenpachi can beat Aizen
@@visionaryvjae5641 You tried to say name someone who beat Aizen as a straw man argument, because it's besides my point. To entertain that statement, Aizen did at least have shinigami he was worried about, so you mentioning that no one beat him doesn't negate the fact that Hitsugaya was cut down in one strike twice. I never mentioned Yammy's power, so I don't understand the point of what you're saying. There's no point in you mentioning that Aizen is stronger than all Espada because Hitsugaya hasn't killed any Espada, so of course Aizen is out of his league.
@@clearspira his shikai is definitely better The questionable one is the bankai Becuase they are about the same Absolute zero Freeze to your core shit We really dont know what her true abilities are lol
I SH!T YOU NOT. I just got home went to the kitchen for Ice Cream. Came to my room seen this video and thought "Coincidence" but then the Mint Chocolate Chip.
I think Hyorinmaru itself is pretty interesting. Since it apparently has history from before Toshirou's use of it. Though that detail might be exclusive to the diamond dust rebellion movie? If its canon, I'd like to know more about its past.
Byakuya : Release your Bankai Captain Hitsugaya. You're at your limit.
Toshiro : Did you assume my Bankai?
"Did you just assume the limit of my reiatsu?"

The thing to remember is Hyorinmaru is the highest grade ice blade in Soul Society, like Yamamoto's was the highest level fire.
They are in the same class of power. The difference is Yamamoto was the oldest and most experienced captain, while Toshiro is the youngest and most green. Even before it's final form reveal it was noted a few times, given 100 more years, Toshiro would be ridiculously broken.
TheNinjaDC I don't know.. Sode no Shirayuki's absolute zero is pretty OP.
0816 M3RC it is ridiculously weaker than Hyonrinmaru though. Rukia was stomped by gerard.
TheNinjaDC it was NEVER stated that Hyourinmaru and Ryuujin Jakka were on the same level wtf. Only that Hyourinmaru is the strongest ice Zanpakuto. Which doesn't mean anything unless there were lots of other strong ice Zanpakuto....there aren't.
Fact is, Hyourinmaru is trash. How do you even kill people with it? You have to control a giant ice dragon in attempts to freeze the opponent...only to watch them break out of the ice and being fine lol.
Hyourinmaru is literally like: "I'll do my best to make you the least deadly, punishing Shinigami ever!"
Gin was also able to stop Hitsugaya's Shikai without even releasing Shinso. He literally just stopped it with the tip of his Wakizashi...damn...
Also the whole "boy genius will be op in future" head canon is bullshit.

@@vigilantstranger6130 lmao
Hitsugaya became my favorite third captain when i read the special chapter of his backstory. In some sense it was really sad how he who is meant to be someone so powerful didnt want to hurt the ones he loved. Him becoming a shinigami was very brave
Well today was a revelation for me. I always thought it's ability was to give Toshiro the most screen time of any captain.
Nah pretty sure Toshiro won that fight. It was a checkmate, Harribel couldn't do anything.
If you were in a game of chess, reached a checkmate, but then someone else came over and flicked your piece off the board and just said to play on, you wouldn't really consider it as "oh the games still on I haven't won yet" you'd call it cheating.
Forever Outraged shark girl does not control all source of water. shark girl can create water from her gills, and can manipulate any water in her general vicinity up to a certain body / amount, including its temperature. Toshirou froze her gills, along with everything else on her and the space around her, stretching from the ground to the sky. too much frozen water for her to manipulate, and no space given for her to create more without just freezing that too. she needed Wonderweiss to continue by shattering the ice.
@unholymonkey but she couldn't? deadass, watch the fight, on her own she does nothing, she is encased in ice, and Hitsugaya announces that her life will fade from existence while she's in there. saying Wonderweiss braking her out by screeching (which also blew away the fallout of Soifon's bankai) makes it a loss is like saying throwing someone in a swimming pool with their hands and legs tied isn't murder because someone else drained the pool.
@unholymonkey i doubt Hitsugaya, known child prodigy, would have just walked off and announced his victory and Harribel's eventual death after an attack that "only trapped her for the time being" without Wonderweiss' interference. he took the dub, you're just chatting shit.
Thank uu for clearing that up. Ppl sleep on the attack cause they haven't watched or read bleach in years so they pass their hazy memory as facts.
@@platinum2263 I think she would have broken out eventually. she was slightly overpowering hitsugaya through most of that fight. that being said he did win the first fight but I wouldn't say it was a clear cut win. I would compare it to Kakashi vs Zabuza. Zabuza technically beat kakashi but then sasuke and naruto broke him out.
Senbonzakura is by far my favorite. Cant wait for that one.
Your metaphor doesn't work, it'd work if someone came and woke up the person you knocked out, not if they got back up on their own.
I personally am indifferent towards Toshiro, but I really love his powers, the way I see it: Ice/Cold and Electricity/Lightning are the most badass powers you can have (this is mainly the reason I particularly enjoy seeing Aokiji) they are just so visually cool and the ice is extremely versatile, if you are creative enough you can basically apply it to every kind of situation
Only fire gets respect
That is exactly my mindset as well. If I had a choice for elemental powers, it would either be ice or electricity
@@donsauyce9156 yeah, same
I'd love to see you do something like this for the lieutenants as well, but y'know the whole Yachiru thing
"Tekking: I can't get hype about Toshiro" Does he even hear himself
Sageofpixelz 88 exactly!!
I have to agree with tekking I don't really get the hype around him.
@@chukwuemekachukwuegbo6481 I was saying he said he wasn't too hype about him but shows large amounts of visual hype
@@sageofpixelz he was a major disappointment tbh
@@besto5486 did you like not read the other comment in the chain?
Have you seen the Cant Fear Your Own World Espada designs that have been releasing in Bleach Brave Souls? Will you have a discussion video about these designs?
Yeah I wish he would discuss them too cause they are so cool. Where did they actually show up during the novel though? Have been reading it in chunks and haven't heard those said yet.
Oh and Ichigo's two what if forms are super cool.
He couldn't maintain his adult form because it was similar to final getsuga tenshou and Gon's adult form.
He needs to be in his Bankai mode for 24/7 which must be draining. Not to mention his mental state was
permanently stuck in a child's nature so it was definitely would last less as an adult.
Toshirou was just overshadowed by other characters.
Toshiro is basically anime main character. He’s a badass that looks young so people overlook him. He’s cool looking, ice is cool, his power has an interesting gimmick, and he’s honestly the most emotionally invested in the whole Aizen thing other than Gin and Momo.
Also his Vice captain.... 👌
Your synopsis on toshiro vs holibell is wrong cause she didn't break out herself. She needed help otherwise maybe she would've been trapped for a thousand years.
He.. he just said that though.
@@ayeayeil7111 yeah, but he said it while missing the point. He said it while saying it wasnt a victory for toshiro, but if she wasn't able to get free by her own power and had to be broke out then he did win their isolated battle.
Favorite Ice Cream is coffee or oreo/cookies n cream.
Love Toshiro he is my favorite character in Bleach. I very quickly found him interesting cause he felt like he was a protag in a story that already had a protag XD and actually as the show went on him and Ichigo had more and more similarities. Both are young people with huge amounts of potential that they can't tap into yet, both carry their swords on their back and have blue energy, and both have two potential love interests with one being dark haired and having a smaller cuter physique(who is their better potential love interest) and the other is a well endowed orange haired girl.
OMG HE"S TALKING ABOUT TOSHIROU AND HYORIMARU TODAY!! I LOVE TOSHIOU SO MUCH!! *CLICK*.
Toshiro is my favorite character and also my favorite Zanpakuto they did him kind of dirty
JesusHentaiChrist kind of? Dirty dirty
*Toshi-Tekking is now here-*
would be better if throw ice cubes at the wall
i forgive you for your digressions against toshiro only and i mean only because you put mint chocolate chip ice cream in the video
ok but same though
Mint chocolate chip sucks though.
Transgressions*
Now I want some
@Sonic the Artist shut up toxic asshole. What did he do to you? And how can you judge someone for what they like to eat? Asshole
God I miss bleach was such a great series love this mini series tekking keep it up
Bruh have you seen the new transformations of the Espadas?!!
When Kubo has enough time on his hands, he delivers magic!!!
@@kensmilepachi3313 bleach is still great as a whole
It's coming back
I always liked Toshirou because it seems he's constantly trying to prove that he is a proper captain as well despite being young. He has many cool and strong abilities but due to how immature his bankai is, he can't maintain them for a long time or effectively which of course defeats the purpose. Still he got a lot of potential to be one of the strongest captains.
What is with the Quincies and their broken abilities?
KainaX122 I agree with that. It seems impossible how the captains even manage to win against them
Ice well in at least a couple of the battles Yooha (however it's spelled) comes and *_takes_* their powers away, so there's that
I know it was due to the creator having to wrap up the series so quickly that he resorted to doing that but strategically it makes no sense and I personally would've preferred seeing how (if they even could) the crew get past these broken-ass abilities
KainaX122 I believe he could of ended better than how he did even with the limited time he had left with bleach. He could of allowed byakuya, hitsugaya and kenpachi kill Gerard with that last trio combo attack they did but no he had to make Gerard heal again for no reason just to have the boss kill him anyway. That was stupid writing
Ice agreed there are certainly better ways he could've ended those fights
Do we know why they told him to end the series? I would've thought it was doing well
KainaX122 to tell you the truth I don't know why, thought it was doing well also. At least he should of finish the anime version of the Quincy war arc
As someone that crunches ice, no it does not hurt your teeth so long as you have relatively healthy teeth. XD
Imagine thinking
Someone else breaking you out means you didnt lose 😂😂
Man tekking really hates him 😂😂😂
Eh, probably more that most Bleach fights end in cutting the other person down more so than I outsmarted and captured them. But if Maiyuri can do it, Toshiro should be able to as well. XD
Yep. Both Harribel and Luppi needed to be saved otherwise they would’ve died or been trapped forever. A better analogy would be imagine getting knocked out by someone and having a friend help you up and then you try to say it was a draw.
Exactly. Lupei got helped by this ultra powerful beam of light that the captns were sure wouldnt be able to be broken by them. So why the hell would his ice prison be called flimsy?
And halibel showed ZERO signs of being able to break out of that on her own. She didnt even blink.
Also Toshiro is badass
Sure hes bottom of my top ten but the boy did cool shit. Lol he did more than jushiro for damn sure and i know for a fact tekking had 0 problems with him. And hell Mayuri has only won 2 or 3 fights as well..
And i know he likes byakuya being as he was hoping he would be last amd excited for it. And Byakuya is the same as Toshiro in the fandom. I dont get tekking at all.
@@lillith7257 I disagree with Byakuya being the same as Toshiro in the fandom. Mostly because Byakuya not only lived up to his hype most of the time, he also tends to either destroy his opponents or just barely lose. Meanwhile Toshiro either wins sort of outside the box or his fight gets interrupted. The only thing similar they have going for them is the love of fan girls and even then I'd argue Byakuya's might actually be a detriment to his character arc vs Toshiro, it never really mattering.
As for Mayuri, I'd point out that the difference there is that Mayuri fights a lot less fights and thus has far less defeats or even struggle if we're being honest. The only person that got lots of fights and kept looking badass was Ichigo and for that to happen he literally had to have a monster crawl out of him at various points during the series.
Holy crap, Buddhist hell in itself sounds like an overpowered Bankai, like an Ice version of Kyoraku's. That was pretty interesting
This is my favourite captain for the gotei 13 i enjoy his very serious but caring nature.
I'm so early that UA-cam wouldn't let me click on it for a few seconds.
Just noticed how long tekken can talk for without stumbling. The amount of cuts he does is actually really impressive seeing as how I can barely speak a sentence without stopping or stumbling unless I’ve practiced it to hell
THE 5 MINUTE PENALTY BOX!! Better and more accurate name
Clicked faster than I could blink. Good thing I'm on my break at work.😁
YAY! favorite captain, favorite zanpakuto......now favorite vid
I loved Toshiro in the Quincy arc. Does nothing, dies, revives, turns into the hottest guy ever, does nothing. It went just as expected.
I just realised the coolest guy turned into the hottest guy, Kubo loves irony.
Sheesh😂
Watching my favourite UA-camr roasting my favourite anime character...damn.. feels sad
That One Person in Buddy I agree, it’s definitely sad. And I never understood why Tekking dislikes Toshiro. Is it because of his personality or his attitude? Or maybe it’s because he wants people to call him by his last name Hitsugaya? I really don’t care about any of it. Toshiro’s my favorite along with Soi-Fon and other characters as well.
@@xavierstewart5756 It hurts being a soi fon fan and having tekking outright hate her. guess he doesn't like tsunderes.
Chocolate even if Soi-Fon is a tsundere, she’s still a badass in my book
@@xavierstewart5756 he hates toshiro because tekking is a Rukia fanboy. He cannot handle the fact that Toshiros zanpakuto is better than Rukias. Lol
Japanese people: we need a kanji for "circle"
They make it out of squares

Man...Toshiro is just not getting any credit today huh?
Good for nothing boring ass character all most hate him more than ichigo
@@jessISaRicePrincess I would not say everyone. As he was the most popular character in all of bleach when the series ended
@@malinenh01 well to my defense a many love kirito so...
Imagine if toshiro was the one to give ichigo his powers?
Since he is related to isshin and all.
Christian hell: worst experience ever!
Buddhist hell: hold my beer.
Hmm toshiro vs esdeath
That sounds interesting
Esdeath
Toshiro would beat Esdeath. The problem with the fight is that Esdeath doesn't have a method to see Toshiro. Now if we remove that factor, I'd be inclined to side with Esdeath on the simple fact that she can freeze freaking time.
@@nathanmorin8304 toshrio should been more ruthless when he fights just like esdeath
Depends which toshiro. Adult toshiro stomps though
Still waiting for a Zanpakuto video for the strongest character in Bleach... You know the man the myth the legend himself! Jirōbō Ikkanzaka! He was a former 4th Seat of the Seventh Division and his nickname was Kamaitachi. He's a pretty big deal and I'm surprised nobody talks about him. So lets see this video happen!!
From Brandon
Legends say he has never used his bankai in fear of destroying all of soul society
@@Eeter26 Your absolutely right.. It all makes sense now! That's why he didn't use his bankai against Uryu. Uryu underestimated the myth himself. If only Jirobo showed the world his bankai.. If only...
From: Brandon
@@Eeter26 that's the 7th Kenpachi, Kenpachi Kuruyashiki, he was Shunsui's Best Friend and drinking body, he is like an Aniki to the 11th division and their Captain, he was killed by the 8th Kenpachi, Kenpachi Azashiro
Man, watching your videos on Bleach just sends me down nostalgia lane. Anyone else the same way?
this video reminds me that king of lightning has yet to make a hitsugaya sucks video
I like that you've been covering more bleach.
I think there should have been a movie for CPT Shunshui and CPT Kenpachi.
Not gonna lie, when I Toshiro's adult form from his bankai I was that annoying fangirl 😂😂
It makes me sad how short Bleach fell.
It deserved so much better.
Dude, Erza winds every fight because that's the point of Titania. That's the entire point of Fairy Tail, they win through My Little Pony logic.
Toshiro’s sword always seemed weird considering it’s powers.
Tekking the ice crunching thing make me remember that during the final math class of high school a classmate offered a solid jolly rancher and I happened to crunch it and surprised her and made a joke on it when she asked
Ummm if the new captain commander said "in 100 years he'll be stronger than me."
So? The saying is "show don't tell" not "tell don't show" even the typical shonen protagonists/character is more engaging than this mopey teenager
I completely agree with your philosophy on fights. It's not over until one party can no longer move.
well Toshiro may be a fan favorite character but was he Kubo's favorite? That's the thing. Mayori has a great track record because he is obviously Kubo's favorite. I don't think Toshiro is.
Honestly though, Toshiro suffers the same fate as the majority of the characters in bleach. They all get pretty lackluster performances. some might get like one or two moments to shine but that's it. When was chad ever really relevant outside when he first got his power? Orihime defeated a hollow when she got her power but after that the only ability of hers that works is her defensive ones. So many shinigami were introduced but the majority of them don't do anything all that great. When you have a large cast of characters, the chance for any one of them to shine becomes small.
That's why one piece almost entirely focuses on the straw hats. That's why Dragon Ball pretty much follows Goku and Vegeta these days. That's why Fairy Tail with its large cast of characters really only follows the antics of the main couple characters. Bleach kept introducing new characters, hyped them up to be badasses, then did nothing with them because its impossible to give everyone the spotlight.
In my opinion they should have only focused on maybe one or two divisions to start. Byakuya had to go retrieve Rukia so maybe just focus on his division to start. Have ichigo fight against his division and eventually different arcs would branch out and have ichigo chilling with different divisions. This would let you build up the key players in each division in an arc dedicated to them.
Bleach had a lot of wasted potential. Honestly almost every arc in bleach seemed rushed to me.
Lith Kast underrated comment. Tekking should pin it 😢
Couldn’t agree more. Kubo is a great artist but he needs others to write his stories. He is not a storyteller at all. Needs to take ashihara when it comes to large casts.
talking about Gerard brings back memories. Next bleach series should be a discussion of all the quincy.
Toshirou Hitsugaya is one of the badass ice users on anime since Cygnus Hyoga and Aquarius Camus from Saint Seiya
I'd put him up there with Esdeath (Akame Ga kill), Free (Soul Eater), Aokiji (One Piece), Todoroki (Boku no Hero) and Horokeu Usui (Shaman King). His powers are cool, especially his true bankai but his personality and character are pretty boring.
@@FryedPidgey Yeah I really never found his personality/character more dynamic it's like he's kinda there to be badass or whatsoever and I think the characters you have mentioned has more character and personality than Toshirou
@@chimeraking5286 100% agree. Horo - Horo was also my favourite character in shaman king because of the way he fights with a snowboard (also he's funny). He's the reason I started snowboarding haha.
@@FryedPidgey I actually always really liked his personality as a character. I viewed him like this. He is a prodigy, the youngest captain to ever claim a seat. He has all this expectation placed upon him, all these people looking to him to do great things. So he is constantly overcompensating for his immaturity, trying to be the stoic and badass captain that he sees in Byakuya (for example). However, you notice that a lot of characters around him act childishly, and try to get him involved in the acting up. I think the others are picking up on the deeply buried desire to still be young and immature, and he hates it so much because he feels like he can't be that person.
Aokijis On a different level
It isn't that they are the same skills in shikai and bankai, it's that he has such mastery over his zanpakto, that he can use his bankai skills in shikai
No
If I remember correctly
His bankai makes his shikai attacks more stronger
@@awadiaali2977 he can actually use his Bankai abilities in Shikai, because of his mastery over his Zanpakuto. Which is why there are "stronger versions" of his attacks while in Bankai.
@@RazeAndSew I don't know man
Was that mentioned in a chapter? It's been a while since I re-read the manga so maybe I forgot
@@awadiaali2977 I watch Tekking101 a lot, and he did mention it in one of his videos
@@RazeAndSew oh
can you give me the link
Don't Rukia and Mayuri basically share a movie? Memories of nobody features them both heavily.
Funny thing is Toshiro failed to kill major enemies like Harribel and Luppi after encasing them with chunk of ice but Kubo made Rukia's zanpakuto is the coldest one, not the "powerful" one so there is a contradiction there. And, she managed to kill several major enemies like that Ninth Espada and As Nodth. Then we gotten to know the differences between Shikai and Bankai of Hyorinmaru is the quantity of ice its generates. I personally think Hyorinmaru is just a fancy zanpakuto with fancy attack names with fancy reiatsu but not really intimidating. If I were an enemy to shinigami and had to fight with ice based zanpakuto, I'd rather fight Toshiro's Hyorinmaru than Rukia's Sode no Shirayuki.
2 abilities are different. Because Toshiro is more man and buff likely. And Rukia's is more female and lighter than Toshiro's bankai. So yeah the most advantage ice gets is lighter. That's how Rukia's is stronger than him. But also Rukia's bankai most likely one point release and Toshiro is time based bankai. Yet we see different in quincy arc having like dangai mode more mature Toshiro.
Imagine having the strongest ice zanpakuto and at the same time having one of the the least impressive fights in the series.
I'm a simple man I see toshiro I click cuz he my favorite character from bleach
I always loved when toshiro fought but disappointed at the same time
Same! I don't know why Toshiro is so popular with all those L. Kubo even hyped his bankai to be the polar opposite of Yamamoto's
he lost to bazz b and Aizen that's it lol
ME: It- It's... IT'S THE 29TH
IT'S THE 29TH, MOM IT'S THE 29TH
MOM: GET A JOB!!!!
ME: I'm 16, and in the middle of exams
If I were Toshiro I would constantly pile on more and more ice after I froze someone. Once Harribel was in the pillar of ice flowers I'd keep that power going as long as I could, make the pillar really big, then probably throw the move he used on Luppi on top of that a few times. Probably would also cast some Bakudo on there to be sure. Nobody has ever stayed properly imprisoned in his ice so he should really start taking precautions
Toshiro attacks his enemies with snowflakes.
There's a joke in there somewhere...
@SONIC ART en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snowflake_(slang)
The way I understand how the "ice clone that can bleed" thing works is that Toushirou creates an ice statue that is minimally sculpted so that the angles of the ice crystals reflect and refract the light to make the illusion of color and shape. The blood could only be a multitude of ice crystals shaped in the exact shape to reflect the crimson red color of blood.
Hey Tekking. is there anyway to privately talk to u? Like a dm or something else. Idk I just have some things I'm curious about.
He should have a gmail accou
Can you make a video on the Espada vs Akatsuki.( I know Espada wins but it will be a cool video nonetheless)
Conditions are if the Akatsuki can see them and the other they can’t
I mean seth the programmer already did that awhile back and the tldr is the only real advantage the akatsuki have are itachi and obito beyond that they get negged pretty hard especially if kisame spams water jutsue on harribels vicinity and she can use the one shot technique she has also starkk can fire off Cero equal to or greater than the type zero bomb dedira has
Lordgir25 1 shhhhh I know. I just love debates like that, I want to see the Naruto wankers who believe Akatsuki is supreme
The Buddhist hell should be toshiro's bankai
Each stage is a different move
and Hyorinmaru is supposedly the Strongest ice-type Zanpakuto
Your discussion inspired me to start creating my own manga. I hope one day I'm popular enough to have you review a chapter or two.
I feel like rukia has a better ice type zanpakto, because she freezes her opponents and shatters them. If you think about it toshiros ice dosnt hurt people
Likely it will get stronger once he matures
It does hurt people
He should have a move called HAIL METEOR that is literally a size of a building but takes a long time to make. His snow flowers can just be creating it while they fight.
Look hes not my favorite
UA-cam just did its job for once
These have been some of my favorite vids of yours Tekking...keep it up 🙏🏾🔥💯
Give rukia that same energy!!!
The one time Tekking get to eat ice cream for a video witch alone is amazing and call it a Business expense
I'm sure TEKKING once again , had a rant about toshiro ice clone ability but to the anime credit , they didn't have it be at the end of the episode and they corrected the mistake of having the ice clone bleed out, so the episode just shows the ice clone as a stand still when it got sliced and it just when on break instead of having us wait a whole week for nothing.
BQ W The only reason they didn’t show the blood splurt was because of censorship.
I called the ice flowers exactly all the way back in fake karakura town.
tekking says he does not understand why toshiro is so popular and cant get down with it, I don't understand why rukia is so popular. She is sakura 2.0, both hit protagonists, are flat as a board, have short hair, marry someone who tried to kill them. Plus rukia looks like a little boy more then toshiro does.
True🤣 but at least rukia didn't admit that she was useless
@@luisrosales3430 well you don't have to admit you are useless to be useless. Rukia is to useless to admit she is useless
If nothing else, you get my thumbs up because best ice cream flavor choice
never had much of an opinion on Toshiro
Toshiro is a cool character in my opinion.
Jman27 Joestar he ight. Overhyped
first level of Budist hell sounds like an avg Monday for me
Man, you were REALLY badmouthing Toshiro at the start of this video. So little hype that the tension was almost palpable. I don't get why you hate on him so much. I mean, he isn't my favorite, but he is definitely a fun character. He's constantly overcompensating for his age difference, always trying to act more mature than he actually is, and just barely managing to pull it off. Other characters always seem to pick up on a sense that he desperately wants to just mess around and be young, even as he fights against that side of himself. And his ice dragon is so interesting to watch.
As for his record.... I find he's kind of like Worf from Star Trek. He is an insanely powerful prodigy, so he is used to create a sense of power. The idea is "Even Toshiro is having a hard time with this guy, he must be REALLY strong!"
As for the Halibel fight being one or two fights... I gotta disagree with you. He froze her in that ice tower. She was as good as trapped there. Even if he didn't destroy her body, he had her beat dead to rights. Then the fight gets interrupted, and she gets freed. To me, that's giving Halibel a second chance, which ended up being interrupted again when Aizen cut her in half. So really, he won that first fight, then had his fight ended by an interloper afterwards (where he wasn't doing so good the second time around).
It seems to me that he wouldn't have an issue with Toshirou if he wasn't one of the most popular characters in the series.
Smiling Jay Toshiro is ridiculously overrated.
He has one of the most generic abilities in shonen though. He controls ice and can make dragons come out of his sword. That's about as generic as it gets. Plus for somebody that was considered a prodigy he really doesn't do much of anything. Besides that its weird that 2 characters in the series have ice abilities. Rukia's shikai is more interesting than toshiro's bankai lol
@@darknesswave100 his mature bankai is much more than just "controls ice and make dragons come out of his sword."
Tekking looks so chill in this video.
Hyourinmaru is esthetically pleasing but damn impractical when it actually comes down to killing your opponents (and thus winning fights).
Suits Hitsugaya. The "omg kawaii boy genius Captain" that...doesn't do anything noteworthy in the entire series lol
Ur kinda tho
love you video matt, you include kanji lesson and buddhist lore too
We back BLEACH BOYS!!
Love these videos man!
Toshiro has a great Zanpakuto buuuut he's one of the weaker captains lol. Mayuri easily takes the W, Aizen ends the fight in one strike twice, Kenpachi says he'd split him in half. He just has such a bad record. He basically beat Cang Du and Shawlong the same way, by surprising him.
He surpassed kenpachi
Show me one person who's seen Kyouka Suigetsu sword release and was able to beat Aizen (besides God tier Ywach himself). Mayuri's can't beat Histugaya in a 1v1 sword vs sword but add in all of his drugs and what not, he could win. Strongest version of Toshiro vs Strongest version of Kenpachi ain't that easy.
@@visionaryvjae5641 If you read the novels (Spirits are Forever with You) Aizen makes it clear that he didn't want to face Kenpachi with the other captains, so he lured him into Hueco Mundo to face Yammy. Also, despite Yama seeing Kyouka Suigetsu, Aizen used Wonderweiss to make sure he wouldn't be able to fight at full power.
That's still besides the point; Hitsugaya has no significant wins. He only beat a Fraccion and a Sternritler who didn't use Vollstandig.
@@Blah2000Blah I said name someone who has BEATEN as in defeated. But for your argument yes Yama would wreck base Aizen at full power but Arrancar arc Kenpachi wouldn't beat Aizen. Aizen was probably afraid of Kenpachi's true power not his supressed power.
Now the fact that you had to mention the strongest shinigami in the verse at that time to suggest someone could beat Aizen shows that losing to Aizen isn't an uncommon thing. It's like saying losing to Edo Madara in Naruto is a disgrace🤔 I mean it just bound to happen.
Also you realise Aizen is stronger than all the espada in his base form meaning he's stronger than Yammy so him setting up a Kenpachi vs Yammy situation doesn't even suggest Kenpachi can beat Aizen
@@visionaryvjae5641 You tried to say name someone who beat Aizen as a straw man argument, because it's besides my point. To entertain that statement, Aizen did at least have shinigami he was worried about, so you mentioning that no one beat him doesn't negate the fact that Hitsugaya was cut down in one strike twice.
I never mentioned Yammy's power, so I don't understand the point of what you're saying. There's no point in you mentioning that Aizen is stronger than all Espada because Hitsugaya hasn't killed any Espada, so of course Aizen is out of his league.
In this corner, wielding the power of the heavens, Toshiro Hitsugaya!
And in this corner, wielding the power of video games, Yukio Hans Vorarlberna!
He always says hyourinmaru is the strongest ice based zanpakuto but we never see any other ice based zanpakuto even rukias is kinda iffy
Wym Rukias is iffy, her zanpakuto is obviously ice-based
Presumably there must be others we just don't see them. His Shikai is unquestionably better than Rukia's.
Its ice/snow for her shikai if you wanna streach but her bankai is most definitely ice
@@clearspira his shikai is definitely better
The questionable one is the bankai
Becuase they are about the same
Absolute zero
Freeze to your core shit
We really dont know what her true abilities are lol
Kotetsu Isane's is appearantly an Ice type, but I bet it would be weak as shit considering she never used it and mostly relies on healing Kido.
I SH!T YOU NOT. I just got home went to the kitchen for Ice Cream. Came to my room seen this video and thought "Coincidence" but then the Mint Chocolate Chip.

Two words, RUKiA's BANKAI!!!
@@LupineShadowOmega HAKKA NO TOGAME
I think Hyorinmaru itself is pretty interesting. Since it apparently has history from before Toshirou's use of it. Though that detail might be exclusive to the diamond dust rebellion movie? If its canon, I'd like to know more about its past.
I love Toushiro! I honestly don’t like Rukia....
