BAN-KAI! Bleach General Discussion

"Sternenstaub" — stardust.

Looks like this attack Uryu uses turns energy attacks into reishi.

At first I thought Ichigo misses with the Jujisho, but it gets smaller and turns into dust.
Actually also miss at first attack pass to ishida and then turn into dust
 
Y’all this episode is so peak I’m boutta cry

The first half of Ichigo vs Uryu before Uryu’s Vollstandig might be one of my all-time favorite scenes in Bleach, it’s one of those rare cases where the choice of music is just so perfect that it kicks an already great scene into a completely different tier. It reminds me a lot of Ichigo vs Yhwach from the cour 1 in that respect.

It's my favorite OST of the new TYBW soundtrack

It's funny that it was in character for Ichigo to go Bankai in every arc, but he didn’t even try it against Almighty Yhwach. It feels like PIS holding his power back just so he can showcase it at the end. At least I hope Kubo gives an explanation, like Ichigo didn’t go Bankai because he still didn’t have control over his hollow Reiatsu or something. Really, seeing him fight others in base form and getting cooked is just too much, especially when compared to Senjumaru and Ichibe, who at least did something before they got cooked.

I think that could probably be his Quincy blood holding him back in some way. Yhwach had mentioned that Ichigo's vocabulary didn't match his resolve when he said "stop" instead of "kill." Against Uryu, it's kinda obvious that Ichigo didn't wanna kill him, he was visibly distressed the entire time

I think Ichigo needs to have control over his Hollow powers/has to have his Hollow powers active for it too work. Given the white in his Bankai, so I bet you're on to something with your hypothesis. Since, we do know Ichigo hadn't mastered his True Zanpakuto even by the time of his final battle.

Naw, Zangetsu said he'd stop interfering.

Also, Uryu may have used a Sklaverai amped Voll Stern Dich, given normal Voll Stern Dich don't absorb reishi from the surroundings when activated.
 
Ichigo kicked the Bambis ass, he beats Yhwach physically only losing to the Almighty hax (which tbf losing to the Almighty doesn't make you a fraud), he defeats base Uryu and loses to Voll Stern Dich Uryu but was able to clash evenly if not stat wise superior (Uyru may be amped by Sklave Rai too and he may have defeated Ichigo using the Antithesis as well, the Almighty counter hax). TS Ichigo has just not performed poorly at all, like Uryu had to use his full power to beat Ichigo's Shikai, and Yhwach is an Almighty merchant.

"Reio, lend me your eyes, this is Base Ichigo we're up against!"
 
Ngl most of ichigos losses are PIS cases to make plot continue
Same goes for his big ass plot armour (not biggest one ive seen but ye)
 
Why is everyone dropping dozens of IQ points. It just isn't PIS 😔
I will say it's a bit OOC though. Think about it, Ichigo (along with Renji, Byakuya, and Toshiro) are the posterboys of Bankai spam, but out of all the times when it's needed, Ichigo has still remained in base.

Still, the king of Bankai spam is Komamura, I forget he has a shikai with the amount of times he's used Bankai.
 
Btw Ichigo getting hit by Uryu's arrow at the end. Is that thing Blitzed Ichigo? Or TS Ichigo was just tired from all of the fight?

He was doing somewhat fine until that point.
 
He won't get carpeted,that is 100% getting cut.
[/QUOTE]
Nuh. It's Askin we are talking about beside askin admits he is weaker than TS Ichigo and it's just Kubo used to show Askin potent hax. I don't see it's getting cut.

He was either blitzed or there was something special perhaps Antithesis related to Uryu's arrow. I'm betting on the latter.

We just know Ichigo hasn't gotten the hang of his new powers yet. Same guy who would spam Hollow powers too isn't spamming them because he's struggling to awaken them. We've all read the manga, we know this to be true. Let's not go lights on no one's home.
