If you haven't yet, check out my hour-long Bloodborne Retrospective right here: ua-cam.com/video/MV5RPho6QB0/v-deo.html Which Bleach scene should we look at next in the series? Let me know your thoughts on that and Kenpachi's scene right here!
btw he also cant be the head captain he has to wait for someone to challenge him and take the title away. that, and he isnt really the type to lead squad 1. Central 46 would fight it they probably would support him.
I like hear you explain the story of the spirits are forever with you. Oh and maybe list all the available kids spells And maybe give explaination of the four basic soul reaper techniques.
Remember that video about the connection between Yachiru and Nozarashi. Yachiru gaining shinigami powers may not be confusing as you think. Remember how Rukia transfers her power to Ichigo through her Zanpakuto. I think it's a similar situation here. After all Kenpachi's own power was just leaking out and he had no control over it. Also since this video is about how Kenpachi has no name and doesn't know who he is suppose to be, that can apply to Yachiru and because she doesn't know who she is she has no power. So the compensate when Nozarashi separate a portion of her self to Yachiru she essentially transfer a portion of her master's power to her miniature self and that would eventually allow her to be a shinigami. And as time went on, as Kenpachi power began to grow her powers grow too, which actually explains why she is always somewhere observing in every fight Kenpachi is in. She is basically learning more about Kenpachi himself in order to create a power that fits her master's fighting style and personality
Being a captain, who does not even know the name of his sword, is one of the biggest events describing Zaraki. With only muscle strength and unstoppable willpower, he advanced perfectly. But the first invasion told us about Zaraki's helplessness even against of a copy. His rematch with Unohana, his show of strength to Gremmy, and the pinnacle reached of Gerard's fight. TYBW arc perfectly explained Zaraki's inner world
Buddy that was real Yhwach. Because the Strenritter who disguise as Yhwach is one of the three that Zaraki defeat at first invasion. But when Yamamoto appear to save Zaraki they wisely switch position without even notiecing.
@@godseye2689 copium... Just accept that Zaraki was bodied by Royd Lloyd... Its not a big deal... Royd Lloyd was strong enough to even fool Yamamoto into thinking he was the real Yhwach the whole time
Kenpachi's character development in the TYBW is phenomenal. Kubo did a wonderful job on showing the growth of the man who is meant to carry the title of "The Strongest Soul Reaper".
His and Unohana's fight is the clash of two monsters, one remaining as such the other finding another purpose in life that's the opposite of their 'profession'. In the end Unohana achieved her goal of helping Kenpachi truly understand his status.
When Zaraki announced himself as The Kenpachi. That was so awesome. The seriousness, the swing of the sword, Zaraki's face at this moment. One of the best moments of Bleach.
I do appreciate in you video about the future leader of the Gotei 13 that Kenpachi Zaraki was a nice guy with a almost honourable code. He also is a guy who shows little to any prejudice or hatred despite his terrifying appearance. He's probably one of the most merciful of captains to go up against. There also a sadness to Kenpachi that I think also he still sees himself as a street rat in comparison to some of the more noble upbringing of some of the other captains, especially with Byakuya. He's a lot like Nosferatu Zodd in terms of just of being an honourable man despite being a monster physically. Unohana unironically is more like Wyald from Berserk( minus the raping and eating people). Though again she was the the most notorious criminal I the soul society so maybe she was doing some heinous stuff.
I doubt Ikkaku would perhaps hidden Yumichika power? But I'd rather it be left to theory or speculation. Depending on what will happen in the Hell Arc.
When he was begging his sword to talk to him, and it did not, that was so sad. He is a person who just likes to fight to find someone worthy of fighting him at his level. That's why he wear the bells and the eyepatch. He understands his place finally. What is interesting is that his old eyepatch could come off to allow more power when and if he needed it. to make the fights last longer. Also, we only saw him use both hands on is sword, begrudgingly once. That gave him even more power. Now, it looks like this eyepatch is a permeant one over his eye, and he still uses only one hand to use his sword. That, to me, shows how much stronger he has become.
I hate it when people call him the "Grimmjow" of the shinigami. He's not even close to being half the character Zaraki is. Zaraki longs to fight the strongest, but he's not running around calling himself the strongest. He never has.
Ive always found zarakis personality interesting. Hes certainly not a nice man, but he's honest. And ironically honorable to an extent. He sees using alternate weapons, like a hidden knife of some sort, as an admission of weakness. He sees tricks and lies in general as weakness. He doesnt bother attacking those weaker than him, like non fighters. Its not that he thinks thats evil or anything, there's just no point for him. Cutting down children, to him, would be as boring as just laying there doing nothing. Its just pointless. Also him telling that girl to slay him feels like a very...scar from fma moment. He doesnt seem to be saying "come fight me" it seems like hes saying "i won't fight back if you want to kill me." Which i think really hammers home his mental state about killing unohana
Your content is always well thought out, very thorough and analytical and I find myself agreeing with you 99% of the time! I've watched and will watch all your videos but especially ones related to Zaraki. Keep up the good work and keep them coming!
I really can't wait for anime fans to see this moment. There are so many cool moments that aren't just big battles in this upcoming cour. Another one of my favorite moments, and yours as well if I'm remembering the video correctly, is the Kenpachi and Ichigo moment. If it wasn't for Kubo saying there was gonna be a new battle in this cour I wouldn't mind a video on which episodes you think would contain which fights and where the cour will end. I'm scared that the moment they're gonna want to end Cour 2 on will leave both anime and manga fans frustrated haha(just before the BIG fight)
As a manga reader, I think the cour will end with the ichigo and uryu comfrontation, and more specifically : yuha stepping into the soul Palace ( I calculated it btw)
People hate when I say it, but Kenpachi Zaraki will be greater than even Yamamoto. Think about it Unohana and Yamamoto crossed paths long ago. After Ywach and Quincy's defeat, she sought out a strong, challenging opponent, which means the other captains of the strongest group of shinigami were no match for her. But yet she met Zaraki as a boy and saw him as her worthy successor to become even greater. Unohana has likely fought against Yamamoto himself because thats the only way reasonable the most notorious criminal would submit to be a loyal subordinate is after seeing Yamamoto in a fight. She sought powerful opponents to fight, even if she didn't beat Yamamoto, neither at that point in the timeline would've held back. So with growth, he'll succeed Yamamoto in everything, likely only having Ichibe as Zaraki better. The soul society knew this, and that's why they didn't want him formally trained. Yamamoto comments of no shinigami born in past 1000 years being greater was likely sad 1) As a psych out or 2) because he wasn't aware the full extent of Kenpachi Zaraki power as he never felt it only tge suppressed version of it.
@@cygnusx1858 Right! I would love backstory to them meeting and getting her to join him in the Hell Arc, and what they're up to in Hell/ old enemies trying to get them
I would really enjoy a video looking more in depth on the character of Yumichika. Not only is he afforded a decent amount of screen time for someone of his rank in the Gotei, but his personality, design, and his ideals are so interesting. The fact he misnames his own Zanpakuto to more fit in with his squad is fascinating, and his desire to hide that part of himself is almost relatable in an odd way.
What I find funny about the lineage of Kenpachi is that the one who became the true Kenpachi is the 11th generation within the 11th division and the rest were just there to keep the title warm. Like it felt too much of a coincidence. Even funnier how you later realize he wasn’t even at full power during the soul society arc. In fact he was purposely at his weakest. No Shikai, no Bankai, don’t know his swords name and what’s he put some many limiters in his subconscious he had to “die” to release most of them. Ichigo had no idea how lucky he was when fighting him. Also given how strong Kenpachi is right now, he feels like he won’t be surpassed for a very long time. Not unless Ichigo challenges him or maybe Grimmjow. edit: wait I just realize something. Is it possible the reason why she is always somewhere observing in every fight Kenpachi is in. She is basically learning more about Kenpachi as he discover his identity in order to create a power that fits her master's fighting style and personality
Honestly I'd love to see a full power Zaraki vs full power Grimmjow with no restraints no obstacles in the way. Still it's funny that both my favorite characters have history together :)
@@HusbandOfManyWives1776 I don’t think Kenny falls behind even with his first bankia release his spiritual was more than shunsui bankia and not only that but Kenny was not even able to use his full power. When he tried to use little bit more power into his strike he broke his arm. So I think Kenny is probably stronger than shunsui in tybw
It's too bad that Kenpachi sort of regresses a bit after the Gremmy fight. He carried this gravity with him that, while he could still sport his trademark sadistic smile, he did so with the heavy responsability of truly becoming his title. And you see this when he and Nanao have that altercation when making the gate to Varvelt and instead of powering through or being snarky, he just (albeit begrudgingly) lets her win the argument. But then at the Pernida fight, you see him being his usual foolhardy self and charge blindly towards an enemy he doesn't know anything about. I mean, yeah, Kenpachi isn't the most tactical fighting, but he also isn't one to throw his life away and deny himself of tomorrow's battle. Thankfully, we don't see this any more during the Gerard fight, as he removes his eyepatch right away and gives it his all against the colossal challenge that is the Miracle.
My fav videos are anything Hollow. Your timeline of Hueco Mundo was to this date my favorite video you have put out. I wish we knew more about it. I want to see Hueco Mundo in its prime and learn who the first Hollow were and if they were different than the Hollows of Today. Same goes for the Beast of the afterlife. I know we are just now getting into Hell and that seems interesting as well. I would like know just how everything was set up. Was Hell created by the 5 Nobles? Did it just come into existance and then used? I want to know more about Barragan than we do already. I wish we could have back some of the best from Hueco Mundo like Stark and Ulquiorra. I want to explore Las Nochas. I love watching your videos for these reasons and hopefully Kubo will give us more.
Let me say once more another wonderfully done video, explaining the depth of what Kubo ended up making of it. Though it is just to say that I had more hopes for Unohana than just to be killed off. Despite that being the outcome, I can respect what came out of it, with only the thoughts of what could have been. I think I iterated this before in another video, but something comes to mind when I consider what it was that could've come to pass possibly from this. But a shorthand version of what I'd have thought a passing of the torch could be was: Unohana is stabbed at this point of a fatal degree and her death as Kenpachi the First ends. Only for her to have a special form of Kaido long sealed within her, for the day that she perished as Kenpachi and could assume the title she'd long created and nurtured before this: Unohana Retsu, the Motherly Healer of Squad 4. I found that it is common for Shonen Jump to kill off their females (mind you I don't blame Kubo, but at large, Shonen Jump has rarely done right by any of their female characters) should be strong or remotely important in some right. It just falls back to a lazy trope of: "Female dies to motivate or empower the male character in some way." I just personally think that Zaraki and Unohana both deserved something better than this tired and draconian trope for progression in their paths as characters. There is merely the excuse of them being part of a bloody legacy used to carry it forth, it's just a sad state of affairs to be persisted for such well written characters.
I’m very sad that Unohana was killed off, but at least her battle with Kenpachi Zaraki both unsealed Kenpachi’s real power and brought Unohana a sense of purpose and peace. Bleach actually permanently kills off few females: Hiyori survives being cut in half, Harribel is healed, her 3 subordinates survive Yamamoto’s fiery blast, most of the Bambis survive unharmed. Females are mostly protected by Kubo.
I love Kenpachi so much, but I honestly think his first hairstyle is kinda goofy, especially early on It gets better later, and I love the concept that thenlittle bells help him in battle, but it's so silly, but in a good way
Imagine fighting someone like Kenpachi as the somewhat first boss level opponent. Super strong and barely won against only later to realize he wasn’t even at full power in fact he was purposely at his weakest. No Shikai, no Bankai, don’t know his swords name and what’s he put some many limiters in his subconscious he had to “die” to release most of them. Ichigo had no idea how lucky he was when fighting him. I think we can all assume that the title of Kenpachi won’t passed down for a long time. edit: wait I just realize something. Is it possible the reason why she is always somewhere observing in every fight Kenpachi is in. She is basically learning more about Kenpachi himself in order to create a power that fits her master's fighting style and personality
If that's the first English VA he had I would love it cause his other VAs are strange though I got used to his JP VA cause they were farther ahead in content at the time.
Then that would mean that unohana never relinquished the title of kenpachi so every one after her was a false one and there were only two kenpachi unohana and zaraki
If it hasn't already been mentioned, I just want to say this. I HATED the pacing of the anime episode within which this fight concluded. This battle. This f*cking KENPACHI CLIMAX. It should've been the end of an episode, at least. Unohana laid dying in Zaraki's arms. He heard that voice. AND THEN!!! Ichigo and Renji are being feasted and catered to by big titty Zero Squad Mommy. Talk about killing the f*ckin mood. Unforgivable.
Like Finger said, she only awakened enough of his power to reach his shikai and bankai, since when she fought him first he was still a kid and was already a monster, she made him reach that once again and then allowed him to become Kenpachi and truly start to strive towards his true strength
Unohana unlocked the SEAL on his power, allowing him to finally hear his zanpakuto. This will allow him to begin to explore his full potential. In doing so she inadvertently gave him the thing he truly wanted most - the relationship he thought he could have with Unohana, but which he could only ever have with Nozarashi. Through zanjutsu he can fight an opponent who matches his strength as long and as often as he wants, and in doing so he will only become stronger.
@@megalictis9002 yeah, i dont think unohana could've unlocked any more power, even if she kept killing him. its up to kenny and his zanpakuto to unlock the rest. thats just my theory tho
I loved that battle that they had when I was able to watch it. Dubbed so clean. I'm almost wanting to rewatch it again because of this review a thousand your blood war has started off great. My overall opinion from the entire series 10 out of 10
Lets be real.. there have only been 2 TRUE kenpachi's since the start... And thats Unohana(The Original Kenpachi) and 2nd, Zaraki(The One Kenpachi).. The rest between was never true Kenpachi's because Unohana never got defeated and just left the title to grab. #fightme #caseclosed
Really hate that people undermine the others by saying they are not true kenpachi. Both Kuryashiki and Azashiro were just as much of kenpachi as Unohana and Zaraki.
@@huntertezz Kuryashiki was Defeated by Azashiro who was defeated by Pre muken zaraki and he admitted inferiority against a version of zaraki that unohana considered weak so while they were strong they weren’t anywhere close to the two true Kenpachis
@@theoneaboveallothers Azashiro only lost to Zaraki because that guy can just cut anything and bypass his intangibility. It was just a bad matchup. Kuryashiki only lost to Azashiro because he couldn't use bankai. With it he could have destroyed the whole seretei, I am not sure even if Unohana could survive that. Either way he should atleast be on the level of squad 0.
@@huntertezz I understand how you feel, but this is how it is. ”Kenpachi (剣八, Sword-Eight) is the title that is only given to the strongest Shinigami. It is an ironclad rule that there can be only one Kenpachi per generation, meaning that the predecessor must die for the killer to succeed the title. To inherit this title, the candidate must kill the current Kenpachi in battle.” Unohana(The Original Kenpachi) was alive till Zaraki killes her. So by the rule.. Them between was never a true kenpachi and we know that now when we have all the facts. You may not like it but thats how it is. But that don’t say that them between is nothing.. They for sure was insane in its self.. but still, never a true kenpachi.
The only thing that still confuses me about the whole Kenpachi lineage narrative, is where did the second Kenpachi come from and why would they think they were the Kenpachi?
Unohana probably discarded the Kenpachi and Yachiru name and went to 4th at that time. So someone probably just took it since there was no one calling themselves Kenpachi anymore.
I know that Unohana is dead but somewhere in my heart I want to think that Aizen casted his hypnosis to make everyone think that she died and she is alive somewhere healing.
The entire theme of Kempachi Zaraki is fighting despite not having a name. That's why I'm convinced, Zaraki Kempachi is a shinigami that can defeat Ichibe!
I dont think base Nozarashi is razor sharp i thinks its actually dull but he swings with such force that it cuts like butter also its much more painful because its dull thats what I think though
The man with no name, wielding the unnamed sword (until he fought the Real Kenpachi -- this argument is supposing a scuffle before the Kenpachis fought)) Could he have stood a chance against Ichibei? Since Ichibei can cut names, and that is his OP power, and "Kenpachi" has no name nor does he know the name of his sword, could this fight be closer than most would initially think?
Not even close. Kenpachi isn’t excluded from ichibei’s abilities like how ywach was. Ichibei can cover this guy in ink and make him as weak as a pebble
Even If he takes Kenpachi as his name, would be Fun to think this "NAMELESS ONE" as the hard counter to Ichibe. The Yamamoto x Ichibe vídeo was great but what If It was Kenpachi the nameless one, what would Ichibe try to outplay Kenpachi from Zaraki 😮😮
His shikai was incredible, but I personally found Kenpachi’s Bankai a little underwhelming. *This is just my opinion, so don’t murder me in the comments.
.i always wanted kenpachi and unohana to fall in love with each other and for them to have children most importantly a son named kenpachi Retsu i have a theory i think kenpachi is the prince of hell and his father is the king of hell the LAST villain in bleach the main villain in the hell ark
Zaraki is the most powerfull Shinigami ever, no cap! Stronger than Yama and Ichibei especially in CFYOW. Aizen shinigami would melt vs TYBW Kenpachi let alone CFYOW. Honestly he might be comparable to Ichigo and Aizen, IMO. Imagine it like this between the 3. Zaraki is the one with most raw power and raw skill. Ichigo is the one with the most growth speed and willpower. Aizen is the one with the highest IQ and refined skill. Zaraki is the strongest character in the physical field. His speed in bankai might be comparable to Ichigo and Aizen. He might be more durable of the 3 in the sense the same punch would do more damage to them than to Zaraki. And his Bankai is a one hit kill, anyone hit with it is gone. Now don’t call me fanboy, I’m just stating my opinion that can be backed up with facts. People just like to downplay him vs Ichigo and Aizen because they are more popular.
Kenpachi is definitely powerful but you’re overstating his abilities. He hasn’t surpassed yamamoto yet. This guy hasn’t mastered his Bankai and is still learning. We need to see him fight in the hell arc to see his growth
I never really liked him. I hes strong for no reason. No kool powers or tech. Hes just the hulk. I dont hate him by any means. Kool design. But hes definitely just a guy in the middle.
What do you mean by no reason? You could say the same for other characters too. It’s just who he is as a character. He has absurd potential and it showed even when he was young

Zaraki is THE true Kenpachi because he embodies the idea "if you can't cut something, you didn't try hard enough" even if that's the void of space
I love his madly smile when Ichigo can finally cut him first time in the SS arc
Gotta love his mindset
Agreed. He's the true Kenpachi bc he is. Nobody embodies the idea of basically a demented kensei sword saint better than he.

Zaraki Kenpachi is my most favorite bloodthirsty character in all of anime. I can't wait to see him "Drink" his fill in the next season of Bleach.

Unohana unironically is more like Wyald from Berserk( minus the raping and eating people). Though again she was the the most notorious criminal I the soul society so maybe she was doing some heinous stuff.
You said it perfectly imo . His outward appearance is rough and menacing but inside is completely opposite
She probably had a Guts level backstory for all we know.
I can’t imagine the person who tries to usurp him as Kenpachi.
I doubt Ikkaku would perhaps hidden Yumichika power? But I'd rather it be left to theory or speculation. Depending on what will happen in the Hell Arc.

That's why he wear the bells and the eyepatch. He understands his place finally.

Also given how strong Kenpachi is right now, he feels like he won’t be surpassed for a very long time. Not unless Ichigo challenges him or maybe Grimmjow.
edit: wait I just realize something.
Is it possible the reason why she is always somewhere observing in every fight Kenpachi is in. She is basically learning more about Kenpachi as he discover his identity in order to create a power that fits her master's fighting style and personality
Bro in cfyow kenny becomes even stronger than Yama which means it gooba take atlest 1,000-2,000 year before someone take his place
Honestly I'd love to see a full power Zaraki vs full power Grimmjow with no restraints no obstacles in the way. Still it's funny that both my favorite characters have history together :)
@@TopG525 I hope when they remake CFYOW characters in BBS that they make Kenny better since he sort falls behind sadly :(
@@HusbandOfManyWives1776 I don’t think Kenny falls behind even with his first bankia release his spiritual was more than shunsui bankia and not only that but Kenny was not even able to use his full power. When he tried to use little bit more power into his strike he broke his arm. So I think Kenny is probably stronger than shunsui in tybw
@@TopG525 Apologies I was referring to the Bleach Brave Souls game. They made him weaker compared to the others they released. Apologies about that.
It's too bad that Kenpachi sort of regresses a bit after the Gremmy fight. He carried this gravity with him that, while he could still sport his trademark sadistic smile, he did so with the heavy responsability of truly becoming his title. And you see this when he and Nanao have that altercation when making the gate to Varvelt and instead of powering through or being snarky, he just (albeit begrudgingly) lets her win the argument.
But then at the Pernida fight, you see him being his usual foolhardy self and charge blindly towards an enemy he doesn't know anything about. I mean, yeah, Kenpachi isn't the most tactical fighting, but he also isn't one to throw his life away and deny himself of tomorrow's battle. Thankfully, we don't see this any more during the Gerard fight, as he removes his eyepatch right away and gives it his all against the colossal challenge that is the Miracle.
My fav videos are anything Hollow. Your timeline of Hueco Mundo was to this date my favorite video you have put out. I wish we knew more about it. I want to see Hueco Mundo in its prime and learn who the first Hollow were and if they were different than the Hollows of Today. Same goes for the Beast of the afterlife. I know we are just now getting into Hell and that seems interesting as well. I would like know just how everything was set up. Was Hell created by the 5 Nobles? Did it just come into existance and then used? I want to know more about Barragan than we do already. I wish we could have back some of the best from Hueco Mundo like Stark and Ulquiorra. I want to explore Las Nochas. I love watching your videos for these reasons and hopefully Kubo will give us more.
Same here, hollows/arrancar are my favorite race. Love anything related to them
Haha my man TOMMO killin it AGAIN and with some ZARAKI love at that. A BEAUTIFUL character moment WELL overdue but TASTEFULLY done by Kubo.
My favorite character in the whole series
I've always been surprised that Zaraki used a sword at all, how better to extend a fight than to do so with your fists only.
One Punch Kenpachi!
Nah, that'll be a waste of his luxurious hair. Unless He doesn't mind being bald
Let me say once more another wonderfully done video, explaining the depth of what Kubo ended up making of it. Though it is just to say that I had more hopes for Unohana than just to be killed off. Despite that being the outcome, I can respect what came out of it, with only the thoughts of what could have been. I think I iterated this before in another video, but something comes to mind when I consider what it was that could've come to pass possibly from this. But a shorthand version of what I'd have thought a passing of the torch could be was:
Unohana is stabbed at this point of a fatal degree and her death as Kenpachi the First ends. Only for her to have a special form of Kaido long sealed within her, for the day that she perished as Kenpachi and could assume the title she'd long created and nurtured before this: Unohana Retsu, the Motherly Healer of Squad 4.
I found that it is common for Shonen Jump to kill off their females (mind you I don't blame Kubo, but at large, Shonen Jump has rarely done right by any of their female characters) should be strong or remotely important in some right. It just falls back to a lazy trope of: "Female dies to motivate or empower the male character in some way." I just personally think that Zaraki and Unohana both deserved something better than this tired and draconian trope for progression in their paths as characters. There is merely the excuse of them being part of a bloody legacy used to carry it forth, it's just a sad state of affairs to be persisted for such well written characters.
I’m very sad that Unohana was killed off, but at least her battle with Kenpachi Zaraki both unsealed Kenpachi’s real power and brought Unohana a sense of purpose and peace. Bleach actually permanently kills off few females: Hiyori survives being cut in half, Harribel is healed, her 3 subordinates survive Yamamoto’s fiery blast, most of the Bambis survive unharmed. Females are mostly protected by Kubo.
This made my eyes tear 😢up. I love characters who fight through their tortured souls and grow from it
Best character analysis video so far.
I love Kenpachi so much, but I honestly think his first hairstyle is kinda goofy, especially early on
It gets better later, and I love the concept that thenlittle bells help him in battle, but it's so silly, but in a good way
Imagine fighting someone like Kenpachi as the somewhat first boss level opponent. Super strong and barely won against only later to realize he wasn’t even at full power in fact he was purposely at his weakest.
No Shikai, no Bankai, don’t know his swords name and what’s he put some many limiters in his subconscious he had to “die” to release most of them. Ichigo had no idea how lucky he was when fighting him.
I think we can all assume that the title of Kenpachi won’t passed down for a long time.
edit: wait I just realize something.
Is it possible the reason why she is always somewhere observing in every fight Kenpachi is in. She is basically learning more about Kenpachi himself in order to create a power that fits her master's fighting style and personality
Do not pursue Zaraki! lol
@@HusbandOfManyWives1776 Oooh, Bleach: Dynasty Warriors!
@@megalictis9002 OH YEAAAH! I would LOVE that very much :D
If only they were able to get David Lodge back to play Kenpachi. Imagine him saying, “I’m the Kenpachi???”
If that's the first English VA he had I would love it cause his other VAs are strange though I got used to his JP VA cause they were farther ahead in content at the time.
@@HusbandOfManyWives1776 He’s also Jiraiya in Naruto. One of his best.
@@willgazlay5711 I remember now. Even Orihime and Ukitake shared the same VAs in Naruto lol.
@@HusbandOfManyWives1776 Yes, Hinata and Gaara, respectively. Ichigo’s VA is also Sasori in the Akatsuki.
@@willgazlay5711 Indeed! :)
i never really thought about his lesson with unahona as him truly earning a name, always thought about the title more, cooool
So just imagine the hell arc where zaraki unlocks his true strength and fights the kenpachi's in hell
Then that would mean that unohana never relinquished the title of kenpachi so every one after her was a false one and there were only two kenpachi unohana and zaraki
Zeraki has always been my favorite character in bleach you'll always get a click from me when you do a video on him
MrTommo finally reveals his Bankai to us- his beard.
I cried when I read Zaraki calling himself "the Kenpachi."
The kenpachi
I can't wait to see this fight in the anime it's still one of the things I'm most excited to see
They’re gonna go crazy with that gremmy fight
Great video man! Solid analysis
If it hasn't already been mentioned, I just want to say this. I HATED the pacing of the anime episode within which this fight concluded. This battle. This f*cking KENPACHI CLIMAX. It should've been the end of an episode, at least.
Unohana laid dying in Zaraki's arms. He heard that voice. AND THEN!!! Ichigo and Renji are being feasted and catered to by big titty Zero Squad Mommy.
Talk about killing the f*ckin mood. Unforgivable.
Kenpachi took Unohana's name and had nothing to show for it. He still had the same one-dimensional way of fighting despite being chastised for it.
True if he's going to fight one-handed at least have him start punching with his empty hand or use his scabbard like Ikkaku
Zaraki a video game protagonist stuck in a anime
Zaraki is like Nightmare Mode.
Lifted aloft... man I love how eloquent you are 🥰🥰🥰
Favorite character right here
Very interesting idea for a video.
I do wonder if Unohana was able to unlock ALL of his power, or was only enough of his power unlocked to kill her? 🤔
i think she unlocked all of the power that was able to be unlocked by her, the rest of his power is locked by Nozarashi. at least thats how I see it
Like Finger said, she only awakened enough of his power to reach his shikai and bankai, since when she fought him first he was still a kid and was already a monster, she made him reach that once again and then allowed him to become Kenpachi and truly start to strive towards his true strength
Unohana unlocked the SEAL on his power, allowing him to finally hear his zanpakuto. This will allow him to begin to explore his full potential. In doing so she inadvertently gave him the thing he truly wanted most - the relationship he thought he could have with Unohana, but which he could only ever have with Nozarashi. Through zanjutsu he can fight an opponent who matches his strength as long and as often as he wants, and in doing so he will only become stronger.
@@megalictis9002 yeah, i dont think unohana could've unlocked any more power, even if she kept killing him. its up to kenny and his zanpakuto to unlock the rest. thats just my theory tho
The toshiro vs gin fight during the rescue arc
I loved that battle that they had when I was able to watch it. Dubbed so clean. I'm almost wanting to rewatch it again because of this review a thousand your blood war has started off great. My overall opinion from the entire series 10 out of 10
Zaraki Is the perfect example of what Greed is...
didn't know ed sheeran was a massive fan of bleach, the more you know
Lets be real.. there have only been 2 TRUE kenpachi's since the start...
And thats Unohana(The Original Kenpachi) and 2nd, Zaraki(The One Kenpachi).. The rest between was never true Kenpachi's because Unohana never got defeated and just left the title to grab.
#fightme #caseclosed
rip kuruyashiki and azashiro lmfao
Really hate that people undermine the others by saying they are not true kenpachi.
Both Kuryashiki and Azashiro were just as much of kenpachi as Unohana and Zaraki.
@@huntertezz Kuryashiki was Defeated by Azashiro who was defeated by Pre muken zaraki and he admitted inferiority against a version of zaraki that unohana considered weak so while they were strong they weren’t anywhere close to the two true Kenpachis
@@theoneaboveallothers Azashiro only lost to Zaraki because that guy can just cut anything and bypass his intangibility. It was just a bad matchup.
Kuryashiki only lost to Azashiro because he couldn't use bankai. With it he could have destroyed the whole seretei, I am not sure even if Unohana could survive that. Either way he should atleast be on the level of squad 0.
@@huntertezz I understand how you feel, but this is how it is.
”Kenpachi (剣八, Sword-Eight) is the title that is only given to the strongest Shinigami. It is an ironclad rule that there can be only one Kenpachi per generation, meaning that the predecessor must die for the killer to succeed the title. To inherit this title, the candidate must kill the current Kenpachi in battle.”
Unohana(The Original Kenpachi) was alive till Zaraki killes her. So by the rule.. Them between was never a true kenpachi and we know that now when we have all the facts.
You may not like it but thats how it is.
But that don’t say that them between is nothing.. They for sure was insane in its self.. but still, never a true kenpachi.
The only thing that still confuses me about the whole Kenpachi lineage narrative, is where did the second Kenpachi come from and why would they think they were the Kenpachi?
Unohana probably discarded the Kenpachi and Yachiru name and went to 4th at that time. So someone probably just took it since there was no one calling themselves Kenpachi anymore.
It likely she let her lieutenant become kenpachi.
Kenpachi is such a boss one my favorite characters
This is A Fight For The Ages
I know that Unohana is dead but somewhere in my heart I want to think that Aizen casted his hypnosis to make everyone think that she died and she is alive somewhere healing.
She’s in hell! Hopefully more of her to come in the future “hell arc”. She is my favourite character :)
The entire theme of Kempachi Zaraki is fighting despite not having a name. That's why I'm convinced, Zaraki Kempachi is a shinigami that can defeat Ichibe!
Bloodborne is your fave game of all time? You really do have immaculate taste tbh
I wonder if Zaraki got an additional power boost from earning the name Kenpachi, in the bleach verse the power of something lies within its name.
No he didn’t. The power derived from names is when using your zanpakuto.
Bloodborne is also my favorite game. Can't wait to watch that video 😊
Imagine ichibei revealing his true name and he's like nah im zaraki piss off baldie
Man, if we had gotten David Lodge back as Zaraki...Patrick Seitz is good, but the way David personified the character. He WAS The Kenpachi.
I just wanna have a beer with Zaraki
I dont think base Nozarashi is razor sharp i thinks its actually dull but he swings with such force that it cuts like butter also its much more painful because its dull thats what I think though
It does look like a dull axe-cleaver.
A blade of grass in a hurricane can pierce wood and all manner of other materials.
@@SinHurr And Pine straw can pierce bricks too :)
The man with no name, wielding the unnamed sword (until he fought the Real Kenpachi -- this argument is supposing a scuffle before the Kenpachis fought))
Could he have stood a chance against Ichibei? Since Ichibei can cut names, and that is his OP power, and "Kenpachi" has no name nor does he know the name of his sword, could this fight be closer than most would initially think?
Not even close. Kenpachi isn’t excluded from ichibei’s abilities like how ywach was. Ichibei can cover this guy in ink and make him as weak as a pebble
Even If he takes Kenpachi as his name, would be Fun to think this "NAMELESS ONE" as the hard counter to Ichibe.
The Yamamoto x Ichibe vídeo was great but what If It was Kenpachi the nameless one, what would Ichibe try to outplay Kenpachi from Zaraki 😮😮
Manh fuck i just want hell arc only For one reason and that's Kenpachi just mastering his Bankai
Can anybody answer this for me: so what about the kenpachis before…how did they get the title of kenpachi from unohana?
Mr Tommo is dad
All thanks to Kiganjo🐐
His shikai was incredible, but I personally found Kenpachi’s Bankai a little underwhelming.
*This is just my opinion, so don’t murder me in the comments.
His bankai is incomplete so it might change and get some broken ability later on but but his shikai reveal was forsure the best in the series
I agree. It just felt rushed. We dont even know the name.
Hes just a strong hulk type? Lame
@@drointhewind480 shut it
Your opinion is still trash bleach hater
I expect him to show his shikai and Bankai abilities more in the hell arc whenever kubo continues that story
Ouetsu vs Kenpachi
.i always wanted kenpachi and unohana to fall in love with each other and for them to have children most importantly a son named kenpachi Retsu i have a theory i think kenpachi is the prince of hell and his father is the king of hell the LAST villain in bleach the main villain in the hell ark

One of Kubo's rare W's for character development in TYBW
Someone told me renji defeats kenpachi 😔
They’re insane 😂😂😂. Renji ain’t even close to shikai kenpachi
@@gammafrost ikrrr
hahaha rarely so BLACK ( the original name of bleach) and WHITE, which is hillarious concidering the black and white motif throughout the series
Zaraki is the most powerfull Shinigami ever, no cap! Stronger than Yama and Ichibei especially in CFYOW. Aizen shinigami would melt vs TYBW Kenpachi let alone CFYOW.
Honestly he might be comparable to Ichigo and Aizen, IMO.
Imagine it like this between the 3.
Zaraki is the one with most raw power and raw skill.
Ichigo is the one with the most growth speed and willpower.
Aizen is the one with the highest IQ and refined skill.
Zaraki is the strongest character in the physical field. His speed in bankai might be comparable to Ichigo and Aizen. He might be more durable of the 3 in the sense the same punch would do more damage to them than to Zaraki. And his Bankai is a one hit kill, anyone hit with it is gone.
Now don’t call me fanboy, I’m just stating my opinion that can be backed up with facts. People just like to downplay him vs Ichigo and Aizen because they are more popular.
Whole lotta not facts in that opinion backed up by facts
Kenpachi is definitely powerful but you’re overstating his abilities. He hasn’t surpassed yamamoto yet. This guy hasn’t mastered his Bankai and is still learning. We need to see him fight in the hell arc to see his growth
Kenpachi gets kind of shit on after this fight and for the rest of the arc
No he doesnt only liars think this
I never really liked him. I hes strong for no reason. No kool powers or tech.
Hes just the hulk. I dont hate him by any means. Kool design. But hes definitely just a guy in the middle.
What do you mean by no reason? You could say the same for other characters too. It’s just who he is as a character. He has absurd potential and it showed even when he was young
Kenpachi gets kind of amazing after this fight and the rest of the arc as well
