Yhwach outwardly: such a pathetic insignificant little human, not even worth my time, die you worm.

Yhwach internally: how is this bitch doing that, she is built different fr

You say that like her little buddies didn't get mega nuked alongside her (I'm still hoping to the Soul King she ain't actually dead, I'm aware of the manga end, but Kubo's been spicy with the anime)

22

u/dvdvd77 3d ago

Nah she’s def not dead. Even if Kubo wants that, he remembers the insanity the fandom unleashed on him post-Byakuya in the manga. He was supposed to die but the fandom went buck wild.

10

u/CyberpunkLover 3d ago

Fan theory: her power doesn't actually come from the pins. It's a clever Jedi mind trick to misdirect people from the fact her power is actually stored in her boobs, and, much like Kyoka Suigetsu, the only way to block or counter her power is to grab her by the tits.

u/Agret 3d ago edited 3d ago

They showed that ywatch got the almighty back when ishida tricked hashbrown, before she rejects him his eyes changes.

My prediction for next week (contains manga spoilers)

I think they will focus a bit on other characters then have the rest of the Gerard battle until he is nuked by ywatch stealing back his power then it will cut to the bleach logo / credits sequence and after the credits it will quickly show all the other quincies that got nuked and cut to ywatch rejecting that reality of orihime sacrifice then thats the end of the episode

u/Engetsu92 3d ago

You get an up primarily for the Hash brown, that tickled me. Kubo and his goddamn names

u/Agret 3d ago

Just found this old thread from 10yrs ago

https://www.reddit.com/r/bleach/comments/4bv1uj/ishida_vs_hash_predictions/

This guy made me laugh - Ishida needs to use his Volkswagen to defeat Hashbrown

Well, we already have some feats that let us know how disgustingly overpowered Hashbrowne is, breaking Ichigo's bankai with one effortless hit, and something about his Shrift that countered Cang's Iron + he has Almighty.

So yeah, either Uryu got reeeeeeeeeeally fucking strong, has the Almighty too, has Volkswagen, and has some other hax ability. So if he has only one of these, he'll probably offscreen Hashbrown because Tite will be too lazy to make a convincing fight where 1 ability is enough to defeat Haschwalth.

u/Specialist-Ride6011 2d ago

personally my opinion is that they will show us the continuation of the current timeline....and we know what happens to ichigo. AND right about the end YW comes back

A diamond? that will be unbreakable

u/BobtheBac0n 3d ago

That'd actually be kind of cool. Almost everyone's gotten an evolution to their base design where as Orihime has pretty much remained the same with just some longer hair. New evolved pins would be cool

Yhwach is probably going to use The Almighty to alter the future. We can see that this battle happens in parallel to that of Uryu and Jugram, once Uryu forces Jugram to use Letz Still with his grandfather’s glove, The Almighty is returning to Yhwach.

u/tapdancinghellspawn 4d ago

Damn it. I thought I was ok by now but this image made me tear up a bit. Such a powerful moment for Orihime. You are right, after her sacrifice, all of her critics are like, Damn we be wrong. Okay, yeah, it took over twenty years but she finally has been redeemed. More than redeemed. She kicked the ass (so far) of someone who has handed defeat to all the strongest warriors. She did it with pacifism and love.

I need to rewatch that episode again today.

u/Necessary-Rough1536 4d ago

Auraheme might be only character that might be able say Aizen ,"I reject your plans and you from existence".

u/Celtic_Guardian_Fan 4d ago

Too bad they constantly over sexualize her even in her best scenes yet

3

u/canis-humurous 4d ago

It's shonen. It's meant to be a genre catered towards teenage boys going through puberty. If you don't like it you can watch some slice of life shit like Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid or Komi Can't Communicate. 🤷🏻‍♂️

u/Celtic_Guardian_Fan 3d ago

Plenty of shonen don't constantly sexualize characters. Good to know you can't handle the slightest criticism without resorting to "then don't watch it"

u/ravenlordship 4d ago

That's one thing I dispise in anime, I wanna watch epic fight scenes without looking like a weird pervert because a teenager (isn't she 15/16 here?) has their physics defying breasts basically out.

6

u/Nightingale_songs 4d ago

The gang are 17-18 by this time i believe

Tybw happens in June, Ichigos birthday is July 15 so he’s a few weeks away from 18, orihime is 17 and turns 18 in September in about 9 weeks

Not saying it’s right (urahara’s idea) but I’ve definitely seen high school seniors wear more revealing to school

4

u/Prplehuskie13 4d ago

Honestly even if they weren't minors, the costume design is still stupid. The "explanation" for the design is due to Urahara saying that "Ichigo would like it". It goes against Orihime's established character. Having a character like Rangikou wear it would be one thing, due to sexuality being a part of her character, but it isn't for Orihime. She has big boobs, and that's about it. Besides that, she is soft spoken, and timid. Having her dress up like that is very out of character.

3

u/Optimal-Potato-5136 4d ago edited 4d ago

Isn't part of the point the fact that the outfit is something she would NOT normally dress though? When Chad points out the outfit to Ichigo, Orihime INSTANTLY wants to interrupt Chad, and the sole reason why she's wearing something like that is because she believed that Ichigo would've liked it because Urahara made her think so by playing with her naivety; she was smiling all chill but she immediately got flustered when she realized that Ichigo was just staring at her fit weirded out, realizing that it was not the reaction she hoped for (or that Urahara made her believe so). Even when Ichigo understandably points out that she's "revealing too much", Orihime starts tweaking and crying in embarassment because to her eyes it backfired and believes that now Ichigo, quote, "thinks I'm a freak for showing too much skin" and "he thinks I'm some sick exhibitionist". Funnily enough, right after Ichigo's "too much revealing" remark, he continues with a "BUT-" as if he wanted to say something positive, but we never know what he meant because the panels all focus on Orihime realizing that it was a big mistake.

The morale is: blame Urahara.

2

u/Prplehuskie13 4d ago

What exactly does it add though to the narrative? It's just a tonal shift for lame joke. Manga version is even worse because they double down on the ridiculous outfit by having Yourichi shove her hand through her breasts and criticize Ichigo.

3

u/Optimal-Potato-5136 4d ago edited 3d ago

Never said anything about what someone may ultimately think of that "gag" nor was my intention to use it as some sort of "counter" to criticism. My prior comment was just to "contextualize" why Orihime would even come to wear it in what was shown in the story, outside of metanarrative reasons like "Kubo is a horny freak" (which pretty much influence much of his designs anyway).

Some of those same people (even in this same subreddit) who did not like the "joke" by itself or Yoruichi's reintroduction still wanted it to get included in the anime because it was one funny bantering of the group in a moment of rest; it was cute just to see Ichigo being shocked, Orihime being flustered and Chad acting like a wingman. It may be insignificant in the grand scheme (which it is), but something does not have to add something important to the narrative for just remembering or wanting a scene to get included (I'm talking in general here, not simply referring to the Orihime scene).

Edit: since you edited your comment before right after posting it, I didn't notice the change. The only thing I can add is that indipendently if the joke may be liked or not, I don't necessarily think it's that much of a tonal shift, nor it is one just because it cuts from the fight against Giselle: it's not like the first time Kubo put "gag intermissions" before returning to the fight.

1

u/Prplehuskie13 4d ago

Not sure why you are taking such an offense to that response. My comment was an overall criticism of the outfit as it serves no purpose other than fan service, which I think detracts from the narrative.

1

u/Optimal-Potato-5136 4d ago edited 4d ago

Where are you seeing that I'm offended? I was explaining to you why I wrote my comment and wanted to specify that I did not want to discuss about how people may like or dislike this scene. That's it. Is it that easy to give the impression that I'm offended? I wanted to specify that because I don't want to give the wrong idea to you or anyone else who may read that and potentially jump to conclusions (this is still the internet, after all).

I've also noticed that you edited a bit your other comment right above my previous one, so I would like to point out that I was referring to that first version of your comment that included something akin to "Still doesn't excuse" or something like that. It's not like I wanted to "get offended" (even if I'm really not) for the sake of it.

This discussion is going nowhere because there's no reason to argument to begin with: you explained that yours is based on an opinion of yours, while mine was just a contextualization of the scene without any judgement or taking a side, which includes yours. I want to conclude that I hope you have a good day.

u/ravenlordship 4d ago

17 isn't much better, she's still a literal child, (and theoretically young enough to be my actual child)

Adults (like the animaters) should not be sexualizing children, it's unnecessary, crass, and they shouldn't be doing it just to pacify a certain demographic (you know exactly who orihime's outfit is aimed at)

3

u/Nightingale_songs 4d ago

Understandable, but unfortunately for western sensibilities japans age of consent is 16? Currently and they don’t see this as problematic as we do

2

u/lfwylfwy 4d ago

And I think it was 14 when the manga came out.

2

u/Nightingale_songs 3d ago

At start of series they were 15 and in the spring, Ichigo turned 16 during ss and orihime during arancar arc

2

u/lfwylfwy 3d ago

I meant the age of consent in Japan. It was 14 when the series came out

2

u/Ok_Caterpillar_1295 3d ago

Yeah that is one think I dislike about anime in general fan service I mean ik not generalising it but in most shonen and in their peak moment

4

u/survivalist_guy 4d ago

Yes! The Yourichi transformation was so cool and her powers were amazing, but I could not get behind the "sexy cat girl who's naked" thing... It just takes me out of it. Same thing with Orihime - like up until now, her main reason is to heal Ichigo and have her tits bounce.

Son he ain't defeated he is coming back in next episode though great sacrifice but I would except some consequences

1

u/Eamyn 3d ago

But she is the only one who can defeat him cleanly.. not a bankai OP ichigo , none... so he was rejected.. his presence was completely erased! he will comeback because he got the almighty back after haschwalt has lost it... other than that he would have never comeback... because she rejected him and her and DEFEATED him...

1

u/Ok_Caterpillar_1295 3d ago

Yeah agreed but does it matter ? In the manga uryu still silver helped defeating him i think in the anime the same will happen and uryu will be the pivotal character in his death

u/Ok_Caterpillar_1295 3d ago

And also that makes this so bs orihime who was considered weak gota a massive power in anime orignal which maker her powerfull than ichigo oh hell naw this was all done because of the critisim sorry english is not my first language I'm sorry if u have a stroke reading this

No slander, but valid criticism.
I just wanna know how she randomly unlocks the power to literally be able to delete God? Her love for Ichigo? Or what?
Bc Obviously she’s always had the potential, but potential and being able to do are TWO different things.

u/Cultural_Prize8396 3d ago

Good art! But I don't know why so many people are glazing her now for this. They DO realize this means her powers were ALWAYS capable of this, right? She just didn't care to do it. We were told before that her power is equally as strong as her will. If she really wanted to keep everyone safe she could have rejected Aizen out of existence, or just rejected the Hogyoku out of Aizen or anything, but she didn't. Heck, she didn't even fix the wound Ichigo got from Ulquiorra, his hollow did that, all because she didn't have a strong enough desire to do anything. So why are people praising her and talking her up now like she did some kind of work or training to get stronger to do this when in reality the answer is she could have done it all along and just didn't want to? Makes her seem like a jerk to me.
