- After BLEACH returned with a sequel continuation chapter we have all been speculating about the new Hell arc. In this video I explain everything that we know about hell, including theories about hell within the BLEACH universe. So let's go over every mention of HELL within the BLEACH manga, link it back to the special oneshot chapter, and then discuss some theories and speculation about HELL.

What other BLEACH topics do you want me to cover?
The Soul King
Bruh can we talk about that time Izuru had a metal poll put in his body lmfao I still think about that in the middle of the night 💀 but jk jk you covered alot of stuff already but I'm down for anything. Everything you upload is GOLDEN
Maybe rank the filler arcs?
Can you make a video explaining Ichigo's new zanpakuto and whether or not Ichigo got his Hollow and Quincy powers back.
Maybe about Hell Waden / Gallows Of Hell it will Interesting...!
Well, the "heaven" of Bleach is filled with slums and poverty for the most part, gap in society based on the lineage of a noble to that of a street rat. Maybe Kubo wants to say that the human flaws won't disappear in life or death. Especially with humans gaining the position of death gods.
Truth. Also those born into the system are unsurprisingly more inclined to commit atrocities to keep it going. Be it Byakuya supporting Rukia's execution, the Stealth Force stamping out dissent (including those who merely don't want to starve another day), or the pure nightmare that is Tokinada.
The heaven In Bleach is technically a new beginning. One that is way better then he'll, and the constant need of "unfinish business" in the world of the living where you're a ghost at the risk of being attacked by hollows or turning into one.
It's possible we're looking at this wrong. Considering it's Eastern origins it's possible the Bleach universe doesn't have a "Heaven" as we would traditionally view it.
Damn, this was deep.
Yeah I agree I don't think because there's poverty instantly meaning its hell,
Maybe the real Hell was the friends we made along the way?
Classic.
That..... makes way too much sense than I'm comfortable with
No instead of hell it should be the good place
@@rojaedavis8367 That really could be the entire bleach theme right
Hell will be much worse than anything a bad friend can do to you on this earth
That would be one hell of a twist.

@IN REGENERATIONE your pure genius gold.
Heh. Nice👍
I'm sure that there is gonna be a "shocking" reveal that the soul society, hueco Mundo and the living world were actually a part of hell in the beginning. Reio probably made those worlds from hell and the Quincy's were the good guys all along. Also I think the original 5 heads of the noble families are still in hell for the sin they committed. We'll see them all later.
I do like the idea that those halos are actually little hints that the Quincy's AND the residents of hell are actually trying to restore the original world that those evil 5 families broke apart. I think that maybe it was all a lie.
Maybe the first world wasn't chaos, it was paradise.
Maybe Reio DIDNT willfully separate himself. They had a sword specifically meant to cut down Divine beings.
If hell always existed, then maybe the shinigami/noble families are from hell. And they used the power of Reio to make the world better for themselves.
If it wasn't for the Shiba family (the altruistic ones) they wouldn't even have a balance of souls and forgiving sins via the zanpakto.
Ichigo's ancestor didn't want to go with the plan to imprison Reio. He even offered to sacrifice himself
Also I believe Ichigo's ancestors are the wardens of hell and that's why Ichigo and by relation Kazui are so wanted. Remember the bandages on Ichigo is his Mugestu form? And on his zanpaktos shikai? I believe those are connected to the bandages on the skeletons on hell's gate. They're missing.
Ichigo's true power is to shatter fate.... Idk how that fits in but still
It's aaaall connected man
CFYOW world confirmed quincy were the good guys. Yawach's father was turned into soul king forcefully and the world was split into 3 with the murders at top, however it's been millions of years and 1000 years since the war things change, people change yama was a murder and crazy for battle but he repented. Quincy were the good guys but not now.
@@sarthakarora3212 idk didn't Yhwach say in the flashback that he planned to invade soul society and conquer a thousand years ago? I think they were always kinda morally ambiguous
@@sarthakarora3212 the soul king sacrificed himself willingly.
@@sarthakarora3212 The soul king was some sort proto Quincy. His very prescne was causing an Imbalance. He agreed to be put in the Crystal just not to being dismembered. The Tsunyanashiro clan(God thay a mouth full and I hoped i spell it right) feared the power of the soul king so they had Ise clan dismember him. Interestingly enough a lot of the ideals of the ancient Shiba effected the Gotei 13 and soul society. Such as cleansing hollows and passing on past souls.
@@campbell8260 he did and not at thr same time. He was stabbed in the back by tokinada's ancestor when he was talking with shiba clan head. He did not fight back in return but that doesn't mean YAWACH or people that cared about him won't try to save him and the plan was to create a happy world not the shit show that is SS today.
Hell is also mentioned by Rukia in the very first chapter of the manga. The spirit in Ichigo's room say's he doesn't want to go to Hell when Rukia is going to perform Konso. She tells him that he's going to Soul Society, and unlike Hell, it's a peaceful place.
Yeah so that turned out to be a lie
Not very peaceful place
@@iamdarkphantom unless hell is just that much violent that kenpachi may appear to be a pacifist
@@iamdarkphantomi mean hell is still hell. And when ur sent to hell ur literally stabbed through the chest
Konso after a day: SHE LIED!!!!
Man, you're honestly one of the best and most entertaining Bleach UA-camrs. Keep it up
U mean the best?
He's meticulous and fantastically in depth. Please make sure to like and subscribe and give this man his props.
12:10- Hell is indeed a remnant of the older world, but I think there was like an actual Heaven with multiple Gods and other realms before the original Soul Society founders screwed up everything
Why did they screw stuff up and split the realm?
@@darthmaul3311 Probably the Gods were like Quincy, the Hollows- likely a creation by the Founders working with demons, drove the Gods away out of fear of being exposed to their presence- becoming mortal and dying.
@@animefan77 There were gods and demons?
@@darthmaul3311 it’s implied that there are- something had to create the original world and something has exist to keep Hell from busting open.
Yes expect to see aeons and sophia
Knowing how well Kubo foreshadows, i don't know what to expect i just love this universe and good content like this
It's fascinating that hell is an 'independent' realm with it's own ways. Soul Society being the real hell would be quite the twist but also not surprising given the sheer awfulness we've seen, be it peasant grade souls starving and suffering or a corrupt feudal state running rampage with it's arbitrary 'justice' and archiac traditions that do more harm than good.
Souls without reiatsu dont feel hunger, so they cant strave.
@@aleksanderk99 Fair point. Yet again most of the depredations we've seen in the worst areas of the Rukon seems hunger and disease related with people laying about in weakened states while theft of foodstuffs is common. And Rangiku herself was near starvation in her youth while Renji and Rukia would snatch whatever food for survival.
@@manuelacosta9463 Only souls that has potential to use reiatsu can be hungry, and if one of shinigami spots that kind of person, they take them to soul society. For normals, peasant-level souls, food is just like tobacco or sweets, they can live without it, but they like to consume it. Souls in slums are in such condition, bcs of environment and oppression from other souls and low level shinigami.
@@aleksanderk99 Yes. At this point there seems to be a degree of reforms regarding this with assistance being handed down as part of the postwar opening up. Omaeda of all people uses his diamond mining operation to sneak in people from the particularly worst areas of the Rukon looking for a better life on in the more stable locations.
Back to topic. Yeah, its kinda funny idea, but there is a question. If hell was heaven back a day, wouldnt it become hell just by number of evil people we send there? I mean, creating the world as we know it now destroyed previous balance, so there is no hell or heaven no more.
Wasn't the creation of the Gotei 13 was filled with "murderers and thieves"? It would make more sense if the seireitei being part of hell from the get go
this arc if kubo can or wants to continue it give us so much more amazing content and hopefully he's able to work on it at his own pace and peace of mind.
It’s weird to think that Mayuri and Kenpachi were actually decent human beings when they were alive because if not they’d be in Hell
It most likely because they were born in soul society.
@@silversoulken nope, soul society creates new souls sometimes, kenipachi was born in SS and has not reincarnated ever to our knowledge, mayuri on the other hand who knows.
@@silversoulken we saw Kenpachi as a kid in the soul society
It's likely he was born there or died as a kid
@@silversoulken well dam, the afterlife does suck ass in bleach no matter where you go.
@@silversoulken they're not reincarnated when they go so Soul Society and they do remember their lives on earth.
Soul Society is a second world, it's not heaven. It's an afterlife, a second life. It's when you die there and your konpaku (your soul form) breaks down that you're reincarnated back into the World of the Living as a blank slate.
There are however noble families that originate in Soul Society, not the World of the Living. How is never really explained. The ones we know of are the Ise clan, the Fon clan, the Kyoraku clan, and of course the 4 Great Noble clans. The Kuchiki, the Shiba, the Shihoen, and the Tsunayashiro.
0:32- Hell has chains, Pluses have chains that rot into Hollow holes, Soul Reapers have special soul chains- oh my god they’re all the same potentially and we’re in hell.
Welp-
It’s mindblowing the quality ur providing through these videos and the original ideas u keep implementing!!
The being that originally stabbed Shrieker could be a previous Kenpachi, like Kiganjō.
This is what i was thinking he looks like zaraki's bankai form
I was thinking the same thing
@@kikima258 Right, that's what really gave me Kenpachi vibes.
Also kind of looks like Komamura's Dangai Joue form. Though that was way before TYBW, and Komamura never died. Just an interesting comparison.
But how he be a kenpachi Unohana i think was the og kenpachi who gave the title to kenpachi zaraki so i dont see any place for another kenpachi
@@shahidkarim9910 I think they talking about the one he killed to get the title
How does Kazui know/understand all this when hes like 10yo D: ,as a 10yo i didn't even know how to turn on the washing machine :D
He’s going to be the chosen peace keeper of Hell!
i think he might just subconsciously feel that way without understanding the concept of heaven and hell
@@zerobankai1268 Orrrr, and hear me out here...
He is just a kid and thinks that he is sending people to soul society since he probably hears a lot of stories from Ichigo and Ichika. He has never seen Seireitei so far.
Let's not forget that Kazui is part Quicy, Part Shinigami, part hollow, part Fullbringer and part normal human :D So far Kazui has the potential to become the next Aizen or even something like Juuha Bach. Do not be surprised that the kid is sending people to hell, he probably has some mary sue ish power that lets him sense the overall balance, aand since "Hell" was originally just another realm, that was later dedicated as dumpster for baddies, it probably has it's own balance, so Kazui sends "good" and relatively weak souls, to restore the balance of power present, it's polarity (good or bad) and number of souls.
As the opening pages of the One-Shot showed, when the big fish dies, the smaller one grows bigger , even bigger than the big one, implying that every time you defeat a strong enemy or lose a strong ally, an even more powerful entity will emerge.
I see it as a meme. The reiatsu of the captains disperses right, so the Arrankars in Hell be like: It's Free Real estate.
Juha jumped into him when he touched his reitsu in the last chapter. Cause mayuri says all of the reitsu disappeared. So where did it go? I think Juha is subconsciously giving this info to Kazui to fuck up the balance.
What about Gin’s body is what i’m wondering now. Cause there’s no way they just left it there at the end of the Karakura town fight, it had to be recovered by the soul society. The question is, what after that? Being a traitor, i doubt Gin would get a ceremonial burial, and yet its probably a necessity to diffuse his body’s reishi since he was a captain class soul reaper. So what does that mean, is there a chance that he too is in hell? Or is this something that’ll be glossed over? He’s not even mentioned in CFYOW I don’t think so even more confused
Every captain level Shinigami goes to hell after dying so did Gin
@@adoujev i’m pretty sure that they only go to hell after the burial has been performed
I was asking the same…
Guys. It's not just HELL butterflies.
Doesn't Kidou translate into DEMON Arts?
I remember wondering why the hell 'Gods' of Death use something called D'emon' Arts way back in the Arrancar Arc, but I only just now started thinking about the implications because of this video 😨😨
Hmm... Soul Society is basically purgatory for the lost souls seeking repentance. If they fail to repent, they're sent to the lowest depths of Hell and will suffer a certain punishment for whatever mortal sin they commited without repenting. If they do repent, chances are that they'll be reincarnated in the World of the Living and restart life over again in a different vessel. Hollows are basically people who didn't overcome their own fears and eventually turned into them after dying and not crossing over probably.
Well my theory is that what hell is doing is sort a reset of the soul society, we learn that when the balance is disrupted Shinigami go in to kill rukongai souls to keep the balance however the balance has been broken. So this might be what happens when Shinigami fail in they're task of keeping the balance, my theory is that there are to many souls who've been in soul society for to long and now hell is coming to punish the Shinigami for failing, I think the reason for they're failure is that they tried to become the worlds guardians. Like you said Shinigami are not often represented as heavenly beings However in most religious texts they're also not usually represented as hellish beings so maybe it was the, Quincy's who were originally the guardians of the world. Hollow's represented the worlds Evil
Shinigami were the middle ground neither Good nor Evil but when the Shinigami usurped the Quincy's That left the universe without a gray area to keep the balance when you think about most of the ancient rituals of the soul society there not good or evil just matter of fact task that must happen in fact this explains why Shinigami are, punished for given they're powers to human. They interfered protecting the innocent is a Quincy's job they're job is to keep the balance in other words Rukia was punished for being a guardian because that's not what she is meant to be. She is meant to be a neutral party who enforces balance Keep in mind the Shinigami did not always have a Zanpaktou they did not at first have a tool to purify souls.
*Sees title*
"What an outlandish claim!"
*Watches video*
"Huh, I've always thought the Soul Society used to be a really crappy version of heaven."
I always thought it was strange that after a spirit passes, they are sent to the soul society where you necessarily find your loved ones there. On top of that, some residents have to live in poverty and commit crimes just to make it through the day. The soul society was described almost like heaven by rukia and yet it's the farthest place from it. Not a good "afterlife" imo
I thought the same thing too. I even thought of the gods of death is something akin to angels but then I realized that a lot of bleach’s lore is based on Buddhism and Buddhism is basically suffering all the way down.
This new arc has so much potential its insane
There are things I dislike about hell. Concept of death kind of loses its meaning, hueco mundo itself is kind of hellish place and hell guardians themselves kind of look like bad guys. So whole Hell feels like just next level of hueco mundo.
That theory is really GOOD, the quincys angelic form, and shinigamis true hell residents that makes so much sense with the "original sin" if you think about it the leader of shinigamis was yammamoto and its was consider a fire demon its power was the strongest fire zanpakuto👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀👀
Well done sir...well done..I remember when Uryu and Ichigo were killing hollows for competition and when the hell gate showed up for the first time. I was always hooked and wanted to see more of hell. I considered HM as more of a purgatory personally. I'm super excited to see where this goes!
After watching the fight between Yamamoto and Yhwach, the Shinigami captain is full of fire and summons skeletons from hell. That doesn’t look like the skills of a good guy. This theory has some merit.
The whole, summoning skeletons thing does fall in line with being a god of death
This theory is genuinely so freaking awesome!!!!!!
Taking into account everything covered, I imagine Kubo will quite possibly include in the Hell Arc additional answers for the following, which have been touched upon by past content and debates:
- Why Ichika and Kazui seem to have the ability to perceive and/or interact w/ Hell in the first place without incurring severe consequences (Perhaps their being non-full fledged Shinigami ingrained in the Seireitei-heavy doctrines and practices, and may be exempt from some 'blindness' to hell; think the scene from Invincible where Cecil explains how American drinking water blocks out the secret lab's light spectrum, etc.)
- The Fifth currently-unnamed Great noble House; the one spoken of in CFYOW to have their reason for the Soul King to seal away Hell; it's entirely possible they remained unnamed all this time because of their explicit involvement with the realm and why any knowledge of it is taboo even to the Captain Commander at the time AND Central 46. If the naming conventions for the Houses remain, I'd imagine they'd be named the Higanbana Clan or something (Red Spider Lily); in Japanese culture especially, the flower is synonymous with Yomi/Naraku/Hell/Yomotsu Hirasaka and by extension Izanami. Just like w/ Kuchiki (Decayed Tree), Shiba (Brushwood Tree/Dog), Shihouin (House of Four Maples) and Tsunayashiro (loosely "Flourishing Society of Bound Rope??? The kanji "Tsuna" refers to the woven ropes associated with Shinto shrines, the Fusa knot and Buddhist wisdom, but the traditional material it's made from eludes me. Maybe from a similar plant w/ importance in spiritualism? It can't possibly be silk or such - too sturdy for kimonos et al)
- Further extrapolation of Quincies and Fullbringers in relation to the Soul King (If Yhwach is the Father of All Quincies AND the SK's "son", that makes Quincykind his grandchildren, in a sense.) If Fullbringers' powers are first awakened by being affected by Hollow reiatsu whilst fetuses and thus realizing potential as pieces of the Soul King's body parts or otherwise overly unique existences, such as Ginjo (?), Tsukishima (?), Aura (Chain of Fate), Chad (?) or other such souls like Mimihagi-sama (Right Arm of Stillness), Pernida (Left Arm of Progression), Gerard (Heart), Rangiku (Nails):
Does that make Orihime a similar existence to the Quincy and Fullbringers in the Lynchpin's relationship web and that's why her Shun Shun Rikka isn't classified under an existing species? Or perhaps, like Yhwach, Aizen, Ichigo and Kazui, does that make Orihime an entity that is also exempt in some manner of transcendence that allows some special consideration with Hell? Aizen explicitly hints that Chad and Orihime awakened their powers via the Hogyoku simultaneously, but if Orihime is canonically NOT a Fullbringer, could her power over rejecting phenomena - "to freely trespass into God's domain" - have a greater impact on the balance of the worlds?
Orihime's stimuli for her power's creation, per Aizen's words, were that she cursed a) her own powerlessness b) that Sora became a Hollow in the first place and that everyone suffers from the eventual fate of Hollowfication w/o a Shinigami's guidance c) The way things are
CFYOW hints that the Chain of Fate is a "relic from long ago in correlation to the original world AND Original Sin." (Further hinted in passing via Shuhei's Bankai, Fushinokyojo (Immortal Hangman's Noose) Could the "relic" of the Chains for all Souls be in fact a CURSE from the Warden/God of Hell, in response to the Original Sin? And that Orihime, who can freely deny and defy fate at her choosing, is an answer to the million-year karmic cycle, in addition to Ichigo being the Shiba Clan's redemption, and the "redeemer" of Hollows, Humans and Shinigami?
Is that also why Kazui plays a special role with Hell as well, perhaps? Since he is the son of both Ichigo - the Transcendent of all the races, a Soul King candidate and a "redeemer" of the ancestral Original Sin, and Orihime - she who can circumvent the laws of life and death, time and space and hypothetically render Chains of Fate, Encroachment, Hollowfication, Shinigami and Zanpakuto a moot point? And maybe that's in part of what Hell's goal is all along and how, as Szayelapporo put it, frees Souls from the "yoke/binding of being a Hollow" and grants untold euphoria? That could play into how Hell was previously Heaven and Hell removes the cycle of reincarnation's hold over a soul damned to relive in a cursed reality?
- Adding to the above, perhaps the Quincies are in fact an answer to angels or Seraphim in a sense. Perhaps murdering Souls with Helig Pfiel is the TRUE purifying of souls, removing them from the captivity of the False Cycle and into the True Cycle. Could that be related to the Beast Realm, which Sajin Komamura's clan is said to be from (a clan of ancestral Souls punished for unspecified crimes and sins - vassals of the Noble Houses maybe? Or angels from the Old Realm similar to the Quincy or Ichibe in nature???)
- Would Ichibe Hyosube be considered complicit in continuing in this cycle of suffering, as he existed as long as the Soul King and is considered the last remaining survivor of the Old Reality (except Ikomikidomoe, as Barragan is gone andYhwach is supposedly only 1200 years old)?
I have so many more ideas to state but I'd be going on for eternity and I don't have 100% of my facts straight, as most of it is surface-level DEEPEST LORE postulating.
Do you think Zaraki might be connected to Hell because of his Oni like appearance when in bankai? As well as his skeleton/undead theme and overall being called a monster?
@@Imperiusism I'm not going to discount it, personally, on the count that Shinigami from 1000 years ago who first formed The Divisions vs. Yhwach were heralded by Yhwach himself as "unworldly beasts" of which present day Shinigami pale in comparison too. Zaraki was a whelp at the time, but still hailed from that era (Really Old Manchild), and that it's also alluded to that Yachiru may in fact have been the personification of his Bankai - or at least part of Nozarashi (It doesn't help that Sanpo Kenju look like dead ringers for Hollows, Kushinada, Ghouls of Hell, etc., and that the manga-canon Hell swordwielder has similar face tattoos. But then again, that would apply to Sajin Komamura's Bankai as well, as Kokuto Tengen Myo'o has them in both forms too, and also looks like a dead ringer for Enma/Yama of Buddhist/Hinduist/Shinto lore).
I mean, if Zaraki is called a "monster" or "demon" in a reality when such monikers are attributed to Hollows/Arrancar, and even THEY feel like every instinct of their body registers Fight Club as an embodiment of death moreso than Barragan - the literal godking of death and decay via time... maybe there IS some weight to it.
We may learn more when Kubo releases further content, as Zaraki, Yamamoto, Unohana, Ukitake and Kyoraku are approx. 1000 old (or in the latermost terms, at least 800, if you take Sasakibe's backstory and guesstimating Kyoraku's upbringing and acquaintance with the Ise clan. Kubo makes it clear that age dilation in the afterlife makes little sense. Senior Shinigami Captains like all the aforementioned and the Royal Guard ARE NOT HELPING.)
@@YamiNetto One thing is sure, this arc has potential to reveal the full mechanics behind how bleach realm functions and the respective origin and lore of each realm, not to mention a proper background on Yhwach and his assumed creation of the quincy. If anything, I want hell arc to give spotlight to all those characters that have beem neglected over the last few years, such as Sado. His powers also "coincidentally' revolve around hollows and demons, just as Ichigo's and Zaraki's. I suspect that the fallen captain s are going to play a major role in this arc, but I also expect some kind of overlord of hell who commands all of them. I don't think having Aizen or Yhwach again as last bosses would function. We'll see but I hope Kubo takes his time with this arc and binds his worldbuilding together.
In burn the witch which is also another connection to the soul society they're not dead in that world it's just an alternate version of the same realm
Damn it feels like my head is going to burst with all these twist and turns btw nice theories keep up the good work 🤝🏼
Nel is my favorite character in the arancar arc. I wish kubo didn't simply "forget" that he gave oriheme powers that exceed any non god character. She could and SHOULD use soten keshun to fix nels cracked mask. If someone deserves a second chance it's Nel. If she can regenerate grimjows arm, she can repair nels mask. Do it kubo!
If this arc continues, I hope Kubo gives us more lore on the Bleach universe since it's so fascinating. I loved finding out about the original sin in the novels and was so disappointed that Kubo didn't include it in the manga, I hope he doesn't do the same for this arc.
What is the original sin and Why does Aizen want to overthrow the Soul King
Love your bleach analysis videos!
Im not sure really about this theory, the thing that mainly bothers me, it's that in japanese culture, the Shinigami/Death Gods aren't evil, they aren't good either. They handle death because they are death gods, not only that but have in mind the image to which the Quincy are related, not only Angelic, but also the freaking Nazi's... The Quincy's also use crosses while the Shinigami use traditional japanese Katana's to channel their powers. I mention all of this because initially christian belief, because of how they were forcefully trying to impose thenselves on Japan were seen negatively, and the Quincy represent that, not only that, their leader is trying to run from reality(The fact that at some point everyone has to die) by forcefully taking what isn't his from *EVERYONE, even his "Father".*
To me, it seen's more about some of the belief that Kubo base Bleach which he wants to explore now that he has the chance and wants to get back into drawing and writting Bleach. After all remember no one is completely good or evil, no one is a saint or the devil. We are just human, and where there are human's, even human's souls there will be difference of any kind.
Yhwach was not running from reality, he wanted to restore things has they were before the first sins so don't interpret this "reality" as the true one.
@@DominicanGamer27 I mean if we take it from the aspect of the reality we live on, which is the reality of Bleach. Also, regarding the fact of what was the original world on Bleach, there is a lot we don't know about, but what we know it's the actual world. And sometimes you have to accept reality, or what? Because of an action of the past of humanity, you are just going to throw everything away and try to destroy the world as it's? That's childish that's running away from the mistake, instead of dealing with and moving foreward try to be better and learning from the past. That's what Yhwach did, run away, you can make whatever excuse you want for him. But he was running away, just like Aizen couldn't accept reality and instead of dealing with it and trying to improve it, he tried to run away to destroy it to make it what he through it should be.
@god=cat He was a parasite but for what ? Have you think why (SPOILER ALERT) the heart and left arm of the soul king turned against the soul society? and if reality is whatever it is now what says one can't just shift it again, we don't even know what was sacrifice to shackle what was the old reality.
Aizen at the end was not so evil as we thought him to be, why accept reality as it is when you can change it, if u can achieve the power to do so wouldn't you do the same ?
@@DominicanGamer27 Yeah, the heart and left arm, join the Quincy's, but you forget about the right arm who supported also this new reality. You may think that, because they oppose the Soul Society, then Soul Society is on the wrong. But what matters is not just the past, but also the present. If we forget the past we are to doom the present, but if we focus only on the past and forget about the present, then the present is doom as well. It's a balance of looking at the past understand what happen and why, and then looking at the present and try to avoid the mistakes of the past, while also trying to understand the new wrong that we have on the present. That allow us to progress in the future, because if the present is doom, then so is the future.
And that's what ultimate is Yhwach, the heart and left arm of the soul king did, they looked at the past and the forgot about the present. They were going to kill all the lives on the 3 worlds just to get back the original world. We may carry the sins of the past, but that doesn't mean we have to pay for then. The son shouldn't have to pay for the sins of the father, and the father shouldn't carry the sins of the son, but both of then have to learn from each other to avoid carrying anymore sins and teaching their future offsprings of the family who to avoid those sins, so newer sins can be learn and avoid.
All this buzz about Szayel coming back, I just wanna see Kokuto and Shuren again bc I miss those funky dudes.
The hell Butterfly act as messengers. It's possible that they also act as the eyes and ears of hell.
Shinigami as devils makes sense given many are slice happy and have minimal reasoning skills. They sure were devilish to the Quincies during the dual genocide attempts, especially to the civilians who were sadistically killed or experimented to death in the aftermath.
that would explain alot
Ever since the one shot I've been wondering what the most recent revelation means. In the begining Hell was simply a place where sinners be it humans or hollows or arrancars go if they commited great sins which makes sense. And yes I guess it would make sense if that were to apply to Soul Reapers too as we've all seen there are plenty of soul reapers that were far from good and virtious, but the fact that no matter what like even someone like Ukitake has been sent to Hell despite giving his very life to save the Soul Society is now hell because of this ritual perform since old times, it makes me question what the hell is Hell really? Is it really a place for sinners or something else entirely?
They are not only sent to hell but they actually become the gardian and the head of the hell too....they get advantage of their position in getoi 13
The jailers must all be former criminals. The hollow Shrieker used to be a serial killer in life, so we might see him again, in Hell.
For people like Yamamoto, you're gonna need the rulers to keep them in line.
Spoiler>/spoiler>
Here Kubo might look at Chainsaw Man for inspiration: where there's the Primordial Devils, the most powerful in existence;
The Darkness Devil, the Falling Devil, Death Devil, whom no one can defeat. I can see Hell's rulers being above people like Aizen or Juha Bach.

So....if ywach couldn't become the soul king of the 1st side, then he essentially became the soul king of the other side, it's not like the process of deification has ever been prevented before, so he probably retained his godhood and adapted to the new environment
This is immensely intriguing. When I read the manga years ago, I saw several spellings for the Quincy leader's name. The one that always stuck out to me is Yhwach, which in my opinion is a play on YHWH or Yahweh. Yhwach's ability is called "Almighty", he's the son of the Soul King, he wants a world "free of death", and people are "healed" by making contact with him.
Several quincy names, abilities, or transformations have angelic connotations. Oddly enough, the same isn't as prevalent for shinigami. One possible example is I always thought the Sternritter or Star Knights (Star-crossed Knights) was an odd name for the group since it seemed to have no connection to anything but maybe not so much if Yhwach is derived from the story of Christ.
I could keep going but I don't wanna write a novel. This post is not meant to be religious. Many Japanese creators borrow from the Bible so there may be something there. Just sharing some of my thoughts after watching this video.
Great video. Found this channel a few days ago. I've really been enjoying the character analyses.
Honestly, I kinda wanna keep hearing what you think. I love listening to speculation and I agree with the parallels you've pointed out. If you feel like continuing here in the comments, you're more than welcome :)
Yes... mystery babylon decipheri3d from the aspect of gnosticism. Now opening a hell arc... there will be aeons.
@@lordgaijee basically its like this.... there are two religions in the world we live in. The god of abraham judaism first then christianity now...
And mystery babylon. All the communists feminists buddhist catholics and those that currently call themselves "jews" all worship this "whore babylon" much of this kubo story is from the perspective of "gnosticism" "GOD" yawhwech yahweh. Is evil. He is evil for whatever reason depending on your religion. Lucifer the "lightbringer" is the good guy on and on etc... you will have to study many religions to catch nuance. (I do not recomend) i do recommend finding jesus though...
Basically ichigo is an abomination meant to represent nimrod/ra/ and etc.
Orinhime is semiramis/isis/ mary and etc.
I personally believe these are levels of hell. And the soul king was lucifer.
Bet money we see sophia and other aeons. Feels like he wont stray too far from the world religion.
I hope this arc actually shades more light on the original Gotei 13 captains.
DBZ can you make videos about the devilman series?
I like the parallel of how sylaporro was impaled like streaker back in the early days of bleach.
Something tells kazui with the help of jushiro will fix the balance that has become broken because of hell, though how that will be done in detail I do not know.
Also does anyone think about Pisces when they thought about the fish in the beginning of this arc?
Ayeeee first I been waiting for this
0:40 Yeah, not a thing, if we consider Can't Fear Your Own World as canon - where it is stated that Soul Society, Hueco Mundo and Human World were originally one thing and Hell predates the split done by the Soul King.
Its the original Underworld, but not something I would consider as opposite thing to Soul Society. That's Hueco Mundo, with three worlds being in balance against Hell - which we know from the new chapters, as broken balance allowed for Szayel to come through gates.
The angel like imagery doesn't really work here as hell also has demonic appearances and chains, so I would call it a full on reach with the ring theory. After all the Quincies are the most angelic based beings (design wise) and they originally reside in both Human World and Sereitei.
Also whole theory - like I said, contradicts with everything that has been shown in all media. We know that shinigami are disposable - even the Soul King was just an unnecessary problem that had to be sealed away. So them sacrificing the high reiatsu level people for better cause - works well with the Soul Society policy.
13:40 Kazui sends souls to afterlife as he doesn't know better. In world the only thing that would await the soul would be deprivation into Hollow. And in hell now - there are actually thousands of good and strong people. Kazui could have met Ukitake or Yamamoto before, as he can open the portal to the hell, he obviously had been involved with beings inside it.
14:35 There is also no indication or connection between Quincy and hell. Their society is directly connected to the Soul King clan and was made by the Yhwach and his ability to grand super powers. You would think that Yhwach tries to release Soul King from his "prison" to end his misery, but as much he hates Shinigami (which comes mostly from the conflicts between Reapers and any non-human group of people and the crimes Soul Society committed against Quincy clans without trying to resolve their issues peacefully), Yhwach also hates his father and decision to split the worlds. By bringing back the worlds together - it would let Quincies to live a peaceful life as they could just exterminate all Hollows, without caring for any balance.
15:30 No one went there cause it is pretty stupid as it even fails to follow the basic Bleach lore. Shinigami want to keep the balance, cause otherwise they would have both humans, shinigami and souls in open area for Hollows to feed on. It is explained that the original split was made, cause the world was Hollows infested and unbearable to live in. Yhwach thinks they will be fine to go back as Hollows aren't as present as back then
16:25 The issue with the first comment is that the talk about fish is made by Ukitake as that's what the words, font and dialect convey. Big fish are all the strong people going to hell for Kazui and others to grow, whole fish story being directly connected with whole chapter - including the fact that Soul Society sends people who would disrupt the order cause they are too strong - straight to hell. We know what immense reiatsu can do to simple souls and humans. They do that so we could grow. Hell isn't a bad place, like I said - probably because it is full of strong good shinigami and some hollows that got happy ending like Szayel, instead of torture or something, which you would expect from hell. It's not bad -that's why it's good.

Good thought on the reversal of the two and it did seem like the soul society is blissfully unaware of the things that truly went on in the past from the royal families to central 46 to Yamamoto but I think with this it draws out alot more thoughts and like u said the sins of the past
The flipping of the realms and then the restoration makes a ton of sense. The remnant being poor in flipped heaven makes sense since they were supposed to be poor. The remnant left in heaven would have to be strong and rich in my opinion. I wonder if a royal family still exists that have descendants still alive today that are rich in hell.
Tbh my mind can't stop working rn it makes sense look at Yamamoto, unohana, kenpachi, and mayuri powers it really resembles hell just like quincy resembles heaven lk u said
Great video as always!
There are a few cases where you have the 'dimensions' overlapping with each other but kept purposely separate. Gives me funny ideas like originally Hueco Mundo, Seireitei and the Human world weren't separate. Maintaining the balance of souls keeps the barriers in place and maybe cuts Hell out of the loop. Or something like that.
I hope we get to see old man Yamamoto himself again.
Well considering that the nobles of soul society are born there rather than dying so of course even if they are evil they won't be sent to hell and in turn corrupt the society
I always seen the Soul Society and Hueco Mundo as a positive and negative forms of purgatory.
Most of the older Captains weren't exactly good people either
I also wonder if there is another human world since the people from Heaven and Hell had to come from somewhere before the Soul King stuff
@@avacus3118 Think the warden is a Avatar / Servant of The 👑 King of Hell: Hellverse.
@@avacus3118 yes, there is another world and its called the West, North, and South branches
Hell is the most interesting world in the Bleach verse! its about time we got the good stuff!!
LES GO! HELL YEAH!
thank you so much for making these vids your definitely my favourite bleach youtuber. you make the bleach anime (and other anime) so much more enjoyable to talk and speculate about. Pls keep them up
Ukitake Jyushiro as the main villain of this new HELL arc, that would be really insane for BLEACH. Finally, some questions left from a decade ago will now be answered.
I think the original sin was the fornication of soul reaper and Quincy. I think yhwach is the descendant of the original sin. He was able to suppress ichigo’s soul reaper powers. I haven’t seen a Quincy do that and he was the only he came up with the taking of the bankai’s
I could have sworn this was the basis of bleach the entire time.
Hollows of souls who have not made it to the afterlife yet
And the shinigami are guides to either getting reborn there in social society which is basically like heaven or hell but then there's an actual hell where souls of the damn go and they don't get any sort of redemption or reincarnation they just get stuck there forever.
And then it's hueco Mundo which is like, like a drifting world where souls are just free to do whatever they want to do
the plot thickens i can't wait to see more of this
Anybody else getting the feeling that Ichigo & his friends have been "backing the wrong horse" this whole time?
Ok, aizen definitely wasn't a good guy, & some espadas & arrancars were evil. And they all devour human beings. But thinking about the point that zomari rureaux makes...they weren't all bad. & Looking at elitist attitudes like shikeguni genryusai Yamamoto's, not to mention central 46 & all of their rules...i mea, the second and third seasons were basically them going to butcher rukia, & for what?
& Look at how they screwed over kuroga during the zanpakuto's rebellion arc. No wonder he became a monster. I feel for muramasa as well.
A lot of things could have been done better, & it's hard at some points not to sympathize with the other side. If it wasn't for blatant evil acts committed by them, you'd feel more for them.
Grimmjow, ulquiorra, nelliel, halibel, & stark....some of these got really dark, like ulquiorra and grimmjow, but at some point, you begin to feel for the lot of them.
Even kujo you can feel a little bit for.
The protagonists, like Ichigo & the humans are the only real characters that get it right most of the Time, ,& yet, uryu started off as an anti-hero, and he, chad & orihime are rendered useless for the most of the series.
Character development in this series is seriously messed up
Quick question DBZimran do you know about a manga called Hell Warden Higuma or maybe any other manga related to Hell/Underworlds?
We are back! Bleach fans are eating good!
I always wanted to know what was beyond these gates, now we will thanks to kubo returning
I’m glad someone has taken a more deep approach to the hidden messages of Bleach. Thank you.
I like that in the new bleach trailer it’s labeled the final arc but if this becomes a real arc then ttybw is no longer the final arc
Those are some great theories. I can't wait to see what Kubo-sensei will give us.
I love how deep the lore goes in bleach but sucks that it’s something you don’t initially get from watching or reading the main story.
"The hell butterflies come from hell"
Ah yes, the floor here is made out of floor
And just like that
, you just earned another subscriber my Good man. I love your explanation about this topic regarding the light novel. Thank you so much 🙌🏼
Great vid, love your long-form content
So some character that died or the past captains are just in hell damn
I agree I always wondered about the shinigami abilities mayuri shinsui and ichibei all have villain abilities and it's even reflected in ichigo the dude is a horned devil
Ps that would explain why they exterminated the Quincy they are a tribe of humans who's lineage ties back to the world before and techniques from the world before as well
Only Ichigo's horns are rather the personification of his essence as an empty soul, that is, a literally broken soul that can only exist due to being an enemy of everything that exists, that is, something by definition not natural.
Imo you can kinda explain the whole hueco mundo - hell - soul society - soul palace system like this: if someone dies with regret, they turn hollow (lost spirit) and go to hueco mundo. If they are "exorcised" by shinigami (angels), their regrets are purged and they're "guided" to soul society as spirit (though soul society is just afterlife, not really heaven per say). Now hell and soul palace are like the extremes area of hueco mundo and soul society. The palace is where the powerful shinigamis (arch angels, not only powerful but also contribute to soul society) and the soul king (god) resides. On the other hand, if the hollow (lost spirits) turn evil, they wont go to SS when shinigamis "exorcise" them, but sent to hell instead. Similar to tartarus in greek mythology (prison for those most dangerous to the order of Olympus).
So what happens when Captains die is that they arr too powerful to pass on. This pose a threat to the balance of Soul Society, thus SS decide to shove them to hell with the ritual. And now they probably hold resentment agaisnt Soul Society and Soul Palace for condemning thel so unfairly. Similar to Lucifer being damned to hell.
There is an ancient folklore that Shinigami were once people who committed a terrible sin(most cases it was suicide) and that as punishment their memories were wiped and they’re forced to become death gods that perform services to help the deceased pass on to the next life. Shinigami themselves are unable to move on to the next time until they have served their duty.
The ones who commit the worst of crimes did not have their memories wiped, instead they were forced to remember their crimes for ages. They would not be freed from this torment until they paid back enough as service.
gotta wonder what Urahara thinks of all this,pretty sure he knows of the old world and about hell
I can't wait to see chapters that show the cool and wonderful hangout spots in hell. There are probably areas that are lavish, beautiful, heavenly.
Also, imagine the horrible scenes we get to see in hell. Hell from the mind of Kubo :O
Can't wait for the next chapter, hope we will get new chapter monthly
Yeah. Gimme Bankai Zaraki and Hollow merged Ichigo.
77 pages for bleach is way better, the week chapters were too slow for bleach
I came to understand how hell works, I found an incredible theory
Maybe thats the reason why the really vile people are send immediately to hell that used to be heaven. Because the shinigami cannot resolve their since only "god" can or whatever his spirit is in bleach.
Okay. Crazy time. I'm gonna try to corroborate this theory. Think of the original Bleach verse like a coin, life and death being its two sides, part of the same cohesive universe. If you imagine heaven as a realm of pure life and hell as pure death, the "original sin" could be explained as polluting one with the other. They befouled heaven with death and brought life to what was dead. If I were to go full yin-yang you could see this as the extra dots in the bigger black/white swatches. That's why there are four worlds in Bleach: each realm gained an additional side. Instead of being holistic, they're separated. The human world is where the living die. Hell is where death lives. Hueco mundo is where life dies. Soul society is where the dead live. That could explain the human world being the "lid" to hell: it's closest to hell as a "living" world (assuming hell used to be heaven). Heaven (now hell) as a world of life could also explain why your emotions are manifest through your body as shown in the chapter, your inside self given life on the outside.
Anyway, that's just a theory. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
I love your bleach content very good.
Love that theory would definitely make sense why the soul society has slums and where the soul king came from
Just re read everything and was surprised to find this "hell" chapter.
After its brief introduction in first arc and a movie, i always thought hell was woefully under utilised and after the final arc, i felt it was completely ignored by yhwach's plan
Almost made me think that Kubo forgot of bleach's world building
I think cuz hell is far stronger than Yhwach, so he choose fusion 3 realms into 1. Yhwach wanna create the universe where no death or living, but after this chapter I think that he wanna create 1 universe where nothing will be sent to hell to taken eternal torture, and cuz he can't destroy make him choose fusion 3 realms
My mind is blown with these theories!
Love it, cometh the hour playing in the background.
It’s “tight” Kubo. Tye-teh and tea-teh are hyperforeignisms. It’s “tight” Kubo unless you are speaking in Japanese, in which case it would be “tye-toe.” Which is just how they pronounce tight (which is stylistically spelled Tite).
So ,it's not "Tits" kubo?
Nvm im joking ,tribute to Inoue and Rangiku 🌝
Hell butterflies are like daemons in computers. They both transmit messages.
The end was such a cliffhanger... Is ukitake the new king of hell due to him holding the mimihagi?
Mimihagi is no longer attached to Ukitake. It was absorbed by Yhwach in TYBWA
@@dylankudaibergenov8279 oops! Thanks for correcting me! 👍
@@saiyajin6969 no problem my friend 😊
That theory is interesting because that would explain why the bird boy that Chad protect at the beginning of the manga, didn’t find his mom at the soul society.
Probably because his mother is actually in Heaven called « Hell » by shinigamis.
That would explain why anyone in the soul society don’t help dead people to find their family.

This series legitimately makes me feel fear for the characters considering what they're going to go up against. Great writing!
YES! Throw more bleach knowledge my way! 🔥🙌
The one that attacked Renji looks like wonderweiss.
With the new chapter out is it safe to say that the hand that pulls shrieker into hell is a soul reaper captains hand in chapter 12 the very first time we see hell.
When do you think the next chapter is going to release??

I wonder if there is a king of hell.

Why do I feel those soul king lore vidoes feel like it is something out of dark souls. And I like it.
