BAN-KAI! Bleach General Discussion

I got bunch of scaling updates with cour 3. Just finished taking notes so I’ll spend the next week or so, then post a big thread. Then I got some potential tier 2 stuff afterwards. Needless to say I got a lot of good stuff coming.

And then it better be the Substitute Shinigami Arc afterwards or you’re getting sent to the gulag-
 
Few thoughts from the finale:
  • Man the art direction looked beautiful, honestly that’s a praise that goes through the entire cour, but I can’t say enough how good it looks, to quote MrTommo they just lift Kubo’s art from the page onto the screen and that’s awesome
  • The soundtrack was banging as well, I’ve always been a Sagisu fan, but he keeps dropping bangers, any time the Quincy OSTs were playing I was vibing
  • All the extra Ishida family scenes were great, Ryuken and Uryu parallels on point especially with the graveyard scenes, but my favorite was the extended Uryu flashback with Souken, “on our honor as Quincy we MUST protect this world” gave me chills
  • The implicit promise of more Soul King lore to come with Jushiro/Mimihagi tease at the end and Rangiku looking at Gerard has me frothing for the new content
  • All the fight choreography look so good, so glad Gerard is 2D, both his and Askin’s start of the fights looked great
  • The voice actors really elevated the anime for me, I didn’t expect to be so consistently blown back by their performances this cour, but it might be my favorite part of the anime so far, you can really feel the love they put into the show through their performances which is awesome
  • Random aside, I really like the smooth transition of zooming out from Yhwach to the Wahrwelt to the ending graphic lol
  • The only thing I can fault the finale for is it being set up for cour 4 making the wait that much more excruciating lol, Bleach fans ate good this cour, by a long shot this is the best cour of the TYBW anime and I can’t wait for cour 4 to be even better
Now here’s kind of my wishlist for cour 4:
  • More SK lore on Adyneus himself as well as his corpse parts
  • What’s up with Renji and his pseudo fused with Zanpakuto Bankai, in fact it’d be great to explore the concepts of transcendence and fusing with your Zanpakuto more
  • Extended fights for all the final fights, don’t leave any character in the dust (Fullbringers, Chad, Isshin and Ryuken, etc)
  • More expansion on Quincy history in general (why was Souken banished explicitly, what was Yhwach and Adyneus’s relationship like)
  • Perhaps some more original sin lore too, we got teased with brief Soul King flashbacks, but seeing more from that era would be awesome
  • Aizen’s Bankai ability, I know he’s transcended beyond that but I still want to see it even if I have a pretty solid grasp on what I believe it is
  • And my Hail Mary is more Hell arc implications and foreshadowing
Anyway it’s good to be a Bleach fan rn, glad that I can experience this with yall 🔥
 
By the time Cour 4 rolls around, it'll have been almost a decade since the manga's original ending
It’s super crazy for me, Bleach has been with me throughout my entire formative years, from the awkward times of middle school through becoming an adult and having to pay the bills lol. Truly a once in a life time experience I’ve had with this series. Got a big man feelin sentimental
 
Yeah, I've been a fan of Bleach for a good chunk of my life as well, so it's great to see it still going to this day. I hope that Kubo can have a healthy future, and can express his ideas with future works.
I also have been a Bleach Fan for half my life at this point(I started seeing it in 2011 when I was a 10 y.o little rag, and now I'm 23 y.o), and I really happy to see how far we've got with the anime up to this point. If you told me 6 years ago we'd see all of the TYBW adapted with this quality and love to the series, I would tell you are just a liar or delusional.
Sometimes it brings a little tears to think next year will be the last of Bleach we will see for some time, and possibly it'll be a great love letter from Kubo and Pierrot's staff to all of us fans.

We’re lowkey the same person

I'm a bit later in life. I started pre-covid 2020 in high school. Come the TYBW anime, I was stunned when I saw the finer details in the story and further related to Ichigo. Bleach had also gave me growth as a writer, it gave me a drive further into my own project. Although those years were later, they were developmentally significant, so many things about me would be different had I not watched it at all.

I couldn't be more thankful to Kubo and the staff for making such a masterpiece in motion.

Btw I know bleach characters are invulnerable unless you can target their souls. But could dura neg attacks still effect them like biology manip, spatial manip and etc?

If we can get some legit higher D shit that would be epic.

One question, but why you keep saying Renji fused with his zanpakuto?
he’s not neither in base or shikai, that’s just how his bankai look like as design armor looking

I’m not making an objective claim, I just said it’s hinted he might have a pseudo fusion based on his Uryu fight. When he splits his arm to make his Bankai appear at the end of the fight.

It makes me wonder if Rukia possibly had a similar treatment, or Byakuya.

I just take it as him trying to recreate the bankai but not enough spiritual pressure

Yeah that’s a valid interpretation too. I’m not saying it IS indicative of pseudo transcendence, but that Kubo COULD do something with it
 
Two questions:
1. Is Gerard affected by Renji's scaling?

2. Is Ichigo's Zanpakuto hanging feat telekinesis?

No, at least not rn. We have multitudes of evidence suggesting that healing grave injuries doesn’t fully restore your spirit energy. Plus there’s the unresolved point of if Renji recovered from getting his reishi stolen by Uryu. For the time being at least, we have more reason to believe Renji isn’t at full power. Cour 4 could change that lol but for now no

I edited my comment midway to ask if Ichigo's Zanpakuto hanging is a use of his TK

Probably. Funny enough we already know Shinigami can do limited TK with the whole Rangiku reiatsu booby tape. So I imagine Ichigo is doing a more advanced application of that. We also know that TS Ichigo can solidify his reiatsu so not crazy either

Ichigo also used TK before too when he fought Ulquiorra when Zangetsu took over with The Chain. I think this is Zangetsu's ability, if so, very cool that he's using more of his kit.

I wonder of he'll use the duplication. F**k Cour 4 can't come fast enough

1. Renji fought weaker form of uryu different than the one that beat senjumaru with mimihagi marks, red eyes.
His scaling should be connected to gerard, yes.

2. Yes. It's pretty clear
 
Byakuya very likely didn’t, it’s just heavily implied he’s below Shinji atm
LMAO.
It was impressive that Shinji managed to hurt Gerard without even using the amps from his Hollow mask, while Gerard easily brushed off Byakuya's Shikai.

I suppose Byakuya's Bankai would scale him above Shinji due to the boost it provides, whereas Shinji's Bankai relies on a hax based ability and doesn't give him much of a boost?

ya know thinking about how do we handle uryu scaling?
we know theses characters already upscales Senjumaru feat
Yhwach
Ichigo
Aizen

uryu and jugram as well tho uryu a weird case cause he still was strong enough to put a hole in a TS shikai ichigo even if the latter wasn't was serious like he was in there round 2

@Arc7Kuroi ya can offer ya suggestion
 
May I know why the cosmology is rated as 3A possibly L2C instead of either 3A or L2C

I couldnt find any blogs that discuss it, I assume it's in some ancient crt
