BAN-KAI! Bleach General Discussion

The guardians of the gates of hell have small horns coming out of their skulls, and when Granz emerges, he has ram's horns on his head. The Hollows of Hell have hatred and such "flowing out of their brains."

Now, if we look at Bankai Kenpachi Zaraki, he has small horns, akin to those of the guards. Zaraki also is known to have bloodlust flowing out of him whenever he fights.

Could there be a connection there?

Kenpachi backstory incoming?

He was Yhwach's opposite sent to Soul Society as a baby from Hell.

Hell's "soul King" equivalent is Kenpachi's mother.

Zaraki and Yhwach are brothers discarted from their original dimensions.

Kenpachi wouldn't care much about this revelations.

I go with the last one.
 
Probably my favorite part of this is how Ichigo doesn't even feel like the main character for a while. For a bit, they show him, but his friends seem equally important, and actually, Uryu seems like he might be the main guy for a minute. Then, when he's getting back on his game, they flash out, and this is a show about a bunch of ghosts living in a palace, and most of them feel like the hero of a separate story. When you hear Ichigo's coming, and when you see him approaching, that's not an MC, that's a force of nature on the warpath coming down on the seemingly unstoppable almighty entity that is Yhwach.
 
Aizen ******* around with Yhwach's sense of time just to mess with him is so funny, but what it really exposed is just how much the old bastard underestimated his opponents. He assumed that in a mere few minutes, his Quincies had defeated that many of the Shinigami, because he did not realize how strong the Shinigami were.

The ever-arrogant, Aizen, having seen his arrogance exploited, exploited the arrogance of Yhwach. There was a clear parallel being drawn there. The difference between the two, of course, is that Aizen had already lost.
 
Yhwach, after multiple extended fights with multiple Quincy getting dropped: "I'm sleepy be quiet"

Yhwach mere later: "So James is dead... James, you have done well... return to me, my son."
 
Some of these Quincy are hard to root against, these little goofballs are funny as hell.

Also, Mayuri referred to Giselle as "Gigi," while fighting Pepe, that was kind of sweet.
