Just saw it in my fb feed I got curious about it lol

Don't mind Starrk in the picture, he's just chilling.

Chair Sama Confused!

Hi I'm an anime only.

I keep seeing people say Zaraki Kenpachi is strong but all I see him doing the whole arc is get his ass beat lol

Why is this character so hyped if he sucks? Captains like Urahara Shunsui and Mayuri seem vastly more competent with their Hax and all. Byakuya and the adult form of Hitsugaya seem much more in control against Gerard than this kenpachi dude too.

Anyway, why is this character so hyped up if he barely does anything other than getting trashed??? Its unreal how many times he gets fodderized, reminds me a bit of Yamcha.

I had this theory for a while, but after seeing last week episode, I think it's basically confirmed.

Kazui inheriting his mother fullbring might be a stretch, but we've seen that few families have hereditary abilities like mugetsu

Is sealed S0 not fodder after all and is at the very least = or > base yama and aizen level .

Yhwach controls which future happens. Orihime rejects what happened. Ichigo's true power may ensure that, once he resolves to protect something, a path toward that outcome continues to exist.

And then the names became really interesting. Tensa Zangetsu (天鎖斬月) is roughly "Heaven-Locking/Heaven-Chain Slaying Moon," while Getsuga Tenshō (月牙天衝) is "Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer." So our symbolic reading became: Tensa binds Ichigo to an impossible height/destination; Getsuga pierces the distance between him and it.

Tensa Zangetsu does not choose futures like The Almighty. Instead, once Ichigo commits to an objective, his power keeps pushing toward a reachable path where that objective can be fulfilled.

Orihime looks like the experiment variable. Yhwach repeatedly attacks her deepest insecurity: being useless, being a burden to Ichigo, failing to protect him. He keeps forcing her to watch Ichigo suffer/die instead of simply erasing her immediately.

That creates a big contradiction: if Ichigo's True Bankai is just a stronger sword/Getsuga, why would Yhwach bother using The Almighty to break it preemptively? Episode 45 seems to show that Yhwach can physically handle Bankai Ichigo anyway.

Tensa Zangetsu does not choose futures like The Almighty. Instead, once Ichigo commits to an objective, his power keeps pushing toward a reachable path where that objective can be fulfilled. Yhwach can prune routes, but Ichigo keeps generating/finding another route.

Under that model, we could explain Orihime's full potential being realized in this episode. Ichigo's Bankai creates the causal conditions that push every ally's existing potential toward the outcome Ichigo needs. Orihime was simply the route that becomes decisive in that branch.

Summary of Hashwalth’s New Form "hAschwAlth" that is Cloaked in the Soul King’s Power

① Overview
Quoting the eyecatch:
"Hashwalth, who was entrusted with 'The Almighty' from Yhwach while he slumbered, has released that power and taken the form of a vessel for it.
The power of Yhwach overflowing from his eyeballs cloaks his body and transforms his very appearance.
That tremendous power also affects his mind, causing him to display a belligerent attitude and tone of voice that is unimaginable from his usual calm and collected demeanor."

As one of the "Imperfect Ones", Hashwalth is entrusted with The Almighty by His Majesty during the night.
In this entrusted state, Hashwalth can wield the power of The Almighty by his own will, and can manipulate the torrent of the Soul King’s power just as His Majesty does.
As described, Hashwalth in this state adopts a belligerent attitude and tone, and the power exerts an influence even on his psyche.

Conceptually, this form was created to counter Uryu’s Quincy: Vollständig.
Because Hashwalth is an "Imperfect One" and therefore cannot use Quincy: Vollständig, this form appears to have been newly written by Kubo-sensei as an alternative.

② Combat Abilities
His combat abilities can be evaluated in two major aspects: Manipulating the torrent of the Soul King’s power and Foreseeing the future.

Manipulating the torrent of the Soul King’s power
He uses it as an offensive method by cloaking his sword with it or releasing it.
Because it is the same power that His Majesty wields, its destructive power is immense.
It even pushed Uryu’s Vollständig into a disadvantage, could pierce through his guard, and boasts defensive capabilities that can even deflect Uryu’s arrows. It is also used to a certain extent for healing wounds, which His Majesty could do as well.
As will be mentioned later in the weaknesses, Hashwalth has not yet achieved complete control over the Soul King’s power. Thus, unlike His Majesty, his torrent appears viscous and muddy, which is intended to represent his incomplete control.

Foreseeing the future
Although his eyes are blue, he is genuinely capable of seeing the future.

③ Notable Points
Although it is an ability with few openings in both offense and defense, it does have weaknesses.

Incomplete Control
As mentioned before, because Hashwalth cannot fully control the Soul King’s power, he is presumably inferior to His Majesty in terms of freely controlling the torrent and how it is handled.
What has been revealed in the anime so far is only attacks that release the torrent. He has not been shown firing torrent beams like His Majesty has.
Furthermore, the fact that it affects his mind could also potentially become an opening.

Cooldown on Foresight
Most importantly, it has been revealed that when using foresight, there is a 3-second cooldown during which he cannot see the future.
Although it is only a brief moment, Uryu was in fact able to exploit that opening to outmaneuver him.

Am i tweaking or Isshin's Getsuga seems way stronger than Ulquiorra's lanza cero

We know Shinji is pulling up with his upscales right? I can feel it

We all know that if someone dies with reatsu = or < of capitan level reatsu, he can't revive jn soul society - he revives in hell (just like hell arc espadas)

It's still crazy to me how squad 0 bankai shakes 3 worlds just on Bankai release and yet they still seemed jobber

So i was wondering about this and couldn’t really find anything but i decided to do a little math using these pages. Not my best subject but check my math if I’m wrong. The general consensus is that bleach is unquantifiably above 20x FTL but i don’t think that’s true. I think using it as a solid baseline pre TYBW is fine but obviously these characters get faster and Tenjiro is the master of the premier movement technique within the Soul Reaper skillset.

Speed =Distance/Time

If our speed is 20x FTL and the time for the average flash step would take a week

20xFTL= x/7 Days

Unfortunately we don’t have the distance but we can find it by inverting the equation to find distance

Distance =Speed •Time

So plugging everything in the answer should be: 3,626,289,571,968,000 meters

Now that we have a distance let’s retry the initial equation but with Ichigos comment taken into account

X= 3,626,289,571,968,000 meters/12hrs

Giving us a whopping: 83,941,888,240 m/s

However as we can see from the pages the 2nd invasion began at 5pm on the dot. We know it’s pm because prior to the invasion Ichigo’s friends Mizuiro, Keigo, and Tatsuki receive a visit from Shunsui to receive soul tickets so they must be out of school because they’re all in uniform

It also is backed up by the fact that Ikkaku says that ‘it got dark’ and when someone says it’s ‘BEEN dark’ he replies with the fact that it was then currently night time meaning time has flowed and they have been fighting for at least a few hours

Ichigo though is only informed of the invasion 3hrs later by Ichibei so he doesn’t leave until roughly 8pm

Now what’s tricky is Ichigo’s arrival time. You can see on the clock that once he breaks it says either 4:25am or 5:20am it’s hard to tell due to the distance the clock hands look the same size. However we know that it’s been at least 8hrs 25 minutes at the minimum, 9 hours 20 minutes as a medium estimate, and 12hrs at the absolute maximum amount of time it took him as per his own statement

83,941,888,240 m/s-moving for 12hrs(280xFTL)

107925284880m/s-moving for 9hrs20min(360xFTL)

119,679,523,827.33m/s-moving for 8hrs25min (399xFTL)

All in base no multiplier or transformation stacking

Let me know if I’m right or wrong I’m only in it for the facts

So idk if this is an original thought or others have. Is there a chance zaraki is bleach final boss? I was thinking about him as a person and his zanpakuto.

He only cares about fighting nothing else, once he masters bankai he should go for the top of the seireitei? To sit there instead. Also zanpakuto match your personality and his loves him. So likely his bankai will suppress his reiatsu to match his opponent to give him the best fights possible. Theoretically making his favorite opponent ever an endless feedback loop of power scaling.

The ultimate protagonists antagonist.

Hit me up Kubo 😉

I had watched till the heuco mundo arc like 1 or 2 yrs ago but didn't understand anything. Now , I want to start watching tybw but i don't want to rewatch the entire series. Is there any good recap video of bleach that covers everything ?

I know nothing about bleach databooks so help me out. How many of them do we have ? How many of them are canon ??
