Bleach #SundayRundown SOUNDTRACK CORNER! As you've commented again on the music, I gotta give a shout out to an unsung(pun intended) hero of it in this series. Sagisu works with so many great people, one of which is Mike Wyzgowski(not to be confused with Mike Wazowski). Mike is a long time collaborator with Sagisu(30 YEARS), helping to produce the lyrics, especially for the english songs, as well as providing the vocals and instrumentals. The singer you hear after the shocking reveal is indeed him, so it's important to give him his props, the man deserves it. Sagisu has also posted him performing this track on twitter, link here; https://x.com/ShiroSAGISU_twi/status/1872346367659851939 As I've said to Suraj in the discord, Ichigo is indeed 1(ichi) person who embodies 5(go) races, and as Chris alluded to, each arc is based around an enemy with a power that Ichigo also possesses. Another person I want to give a special shout out to is the voice actor of Byakuya Kuchiki, Daniel Woren. What a beautifully sombre performance from him, he doesn't miss a beat, truly a momentous figure in the industry. I loved your reactions, this episode is filled with things we've been anticipating in the spoiler channel and this is still just a taste, remember you haven't finished the first cour yet. I look forward to your thoughts and queries when you record the next batch, will see you all there. Until then, heal your wounds and wait. Our normies, born in the dark.

#SundayRundown Bleach This episode was nothing less than perfect, and the combo of ep 6-7 is considered the peak of TYBW. The revelation of Ichigo being a Quincy actually had a lot of foreshadowing but the actual examples are spoilers for future episodes and revelations so you shouldn’t try to read about those. Also, the fight between Ichigo and Ywhach was extended, in the manga Ichigo just launches a Getsuga and then is pinned to the ground but here is a proper confrontation that even though Ichigo loses, shows how much he needs to grow to overcome this new treat. This episode really had it all in terms of emotional moments and action, and to top it off it gave us my favorite rendition of Nothing can be explained. Absolute Cinema.

#SundayRundown Bleach TYBW Now that the 1st Quincy invasion of TYBW has ended here are the important takeaways- All of squad 1 has been brutally annihilated along with Yamamoto through cowardice trickery. The Quincy’s main abilities involve “Blut Vene” (Blood vein) as both a healing defensive & activating offensive abilities + They have a Bankai equivalent known as “Vollständig”. The Quincy king Yhwach has noted 3/5 special threats: Ichigo-who seems to instinctively have one of these abilities being born in the dark, Kenpachi who was unfortunately clapped offscreen, and Aizen who he even asked to join him but was instead rejected and even have his senses altered a bit. They are now in the recovery & recuperation Ground Zero stage. Story and emotional impact wise this was merely the prelude to peak fiction of the highest degree as we finally get to see the OG 13 Court Guard Squads from a thousand years ago both in that film graded prologue of this episode and in the new visuals for the ED with only 1 remaining, in the Manga they were just silhouettes but here we get to actually see what they look like hinting at something greater in the future i’m just showing the parallels between Soul reapers & Quincys where they were then and how they are now + Byakuya painfully & sorrowfully breaking into tears entrusting the man who he once faced in battle with false authority to protect the soul society: ICHIGOAT! Shout out to the Storyboarder as his name is Toshiyuki Tsuru. Here is his previous work’s history: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1479700/?ref_=tt_ov_dr Rest In Power Shigekuni Genryūsai YAMA-GOAT-O. And finally, Here’s the clearest full pic of the OG Gotei 13 https://twitter.com/aninewsandfacts/status/1592937765586731008?s=61&t=ZzJC0FKvXRdd6wdR20Eftg shown in the beginning and in the ED.

Bleach TYBW Keyword Page 1 Episode 7: BORN IN THE DARK OG Gotei 13 (Original 13 Court Guard Squads) ”An organization of Soul Reapers founded by Shigekuni Genryūsai Yamamoto. When it was originally formed, it was a more brutally bloodthirsty organization than the current Gotei 13. They all hailed from different backgrounds, some of whom were even heinous criminals. Thus, the Gotei ("court guards") was in name only since they had no pride in fighting or conviction in protecting the people as they were a group of unruly killer assassins who would do and use anything to their advantage in crushing their enemies. As such, they were incredibly powerful and exceptional in combat, and in the conflict a thousand years ago, they were able to annihilate the Quincy army, forcing them to retreat.” Keyword Page 2 Episode 7 Blut Vene (Blood Armor) "Quincies can either enhance their attack or defence levels by allowing spiritual particles to flow directly into their bloodstreams. The more powerful a Quincy is, the greater a boost to their physical abilities they will experience upon activation of Blut, which can even put them on par with Soul Reapers in Bankai. There are two types of Blut - ”Blut Arterie“ which is useful for attacks and “Blut Vene” which is useful for defences respectively. They function on independent spiritual particle systems, thus it is not possible to activate both at the same time. Echt (Pure-blooded) Quincies are born with this ability, while Gemisht (mixed-blood) Quincies may attain it with practice through training."

Can u please start releasing 2 episodes a week

I

"Yamamoto and Chojiro are the only ones from back then" :)))))))))))) Even more peak next week. Edit to add: Also, Chris has really good instincts when it comes to Bleach lol. He might have the best tbh. The whole couch is pretty solid but, I feel like he tends to get the closest.

#SundayRundown Some of the Normies have talked about how good Bleach's OST is, maybe at some point we could get a music reaction/discussion video. You could put up a post where people suggest and upvote OST's they want to you to listen to and you could pick some and do a listen video, it probably wouldn't be able to be uploaded to Youtube, but it would be a cool patreon exclusive. Also Episodes 6+7 are still the peak of TYBW imo, when I first saw them I almost couldn't beleive how good it was after 10 years of waiting and hoping that the arc would get animated.

Anderson Lake(The Bleach)

Damn, they were so caught up in the sauce they missed the different outro.

#Sunday Rundown Bleach TYBW Just love Byakuya and Ichigo’s relationship man. From Byakuya destroying Ichigo’s (initial) Soul Reaper powers, to him calling Ichigo a “mere Ryoka boy”, to respecting him as a fighter, to reminding him that HE’S Karakura Town’s protector, to killing Tsukishima because “an enemy of Ichigo Kurosaki’s is an enemy of mine” despite Tsukishima’s power making it so that Tsukishima is an important person in his life too, to now, with his dying breath, essentially “knighting” Ichigo as protector of Soul Society (and therefore everything Byakuya holds dear to him). It all came essentially full circle. The way the relationship slowly develops between them across the series so subtlety is *mwah* chef’s kiss 👨‍🍳🤌🏻 beautiful. Also when Ichigo disappears right after entering Soul Society with the cool sound effect, Ichigo used Sonido (the Hollow version of Flash Step). Sonido comes with the added benefit of disguising your spiritual pressure when using it, which is why the Quincy were all like “what was that?!?!” - to them a powerful spiritual pressure randomly appeared in Soul Society and then vanished for a sec and then appeared again in a different location within Soul Society all within like 5 seconds.

Bleach #SundayRundown This is my favorite episode of this cour. It was dark, emotional, intense and exciting. 3 of the 5 special threats have already been named: Ichigo, Kenpachi, and Aizen. All for obvious reasons. In the manga, there was no fight exchange between Ichigo and Yuha. He fired a getsuga and then immediately got pinned down. Here in the anime we were treated to short but sweet fight. The OG gotei 13 is also anime exclusive as we were never introduced to them in the manga. For clarification, reminder that Quincy are humans with powers. So when Yuha said Yamamoto and his OG gotei exterminated all of them 1000 years ago, he meant just that. The fact that they're here now means they are no longer alive as humans, but revived or manifested souls. The hard fact remains there are only 2 surviving Quincy no matter what anyone else wants to believe, and that is Uryuu and Ryuuken Ishida, per Kubo interview. That's the best way I can describe it :)

You guys didnt notice Jugram Haschwalth (The blonde hair guy with Yhwach) who sliced Ichigo Blade. He is super strong to an extreme level. He is highly underrated. Dont shit on him Rana. He was your Gojoish crush in 3rd episode.

Kage Uzumaki

I know every reactor misses it because of the the ending even tho it wasn't that deep

Kage Uzumaki

it's not a spoiler to say that ichigo is isshins son

Christian R Lewis-Batista

I don’t think that is true about the current quincies being “revived souls” I’m pretty sure they are just quincies who didn’t participate in the previous war.

#SundayRundown Bleach TYBW - To be Clear since it was brought up in this episode's end discussion Ichigo's dad isn't avoiding telling him stuff remember when he shows up during the fight with Aizen he was ready to tell him then and there. But Ichigo says to tell him later when he's ready and that he trusts his dad kept whatever he kept about his origins a secret for a reason. Also reminder The Quincy invasion came out of nowhere a huge preemptive surprise attack he could have very well going to tell one of those days but then you know shit hit the fan. Isshin Kurosaki in hindsight is one of the best anime dads in the medium given he is actively in his son and daughters lives and respects Ichigo's independence as person and only really gets involved when he has too. I could say more as to why he's a great dad but it be spoilers for later episodes. But then you have Uryuu's dad who actively refuses to tell him anything and chooses to be super cryptic on purpose lol.

#sundayrundown you’re taking the “my son” thing too literally - remember, they call Ywbach the father of all quinicies. He’s not literally ichigo’s dad

penguin299

#SundayRundown #Bleach We've met (and Ywach has named) 3 of the 5 special threats already: Kenpachi, Aizen and Ichigo. There's also a specific reason for each threat to be on the list. There are two more and you should definitely start thinking about who they might be and why.

#SundayRundown #Bleach Byakuya Zanpakuto Translation. Shikai Senbonzakura = Thousand Cherry Blossoms and the release command is Scatter. Senbonzakura Kageyoshi = Vibrant Display of a Thousand Cherry Blossoms

Life With Jorge

ive been waiting for this reaction since you guys started bleach

Daniel Gonzalez

Seriously has no-one ever heard of people calling younger folks son also how would he be his dad if hes been asleep for 1000 years people really gotta use their critical thinking skills something I was always surprised at being praised at being sorta good at but its my opinion the rest of people are just really bad at it

Bleach Expert

Per Kubo, he stated there are no remaining surviving Quincy other than Uryuu and Ryuuken Ishida. All of what you see now are souls. This is part of an interview a long time ago that for some reason nobody bothered to translate from Japanese. And this debate remains because Kubo did not clearly set the record straight about the status of the Quincy hiding within the Shatten Beraihi. Therefore it's likely these souls are either manifested or revived. But the hard fact remains there are only 2 surviving human Quincy as mentioned, Uryuu and Ryuuken. Hope that helps!

Important notice to the Normies: What you guys looked at for the Keyword pages last time are the Reddit translations that are good enough only if you’re familiar with Bleach and know some Japanese terms, which can be found here https://www.reddit.com/r/bleach/s/UxZnV2HnPY and for all of them here https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1MGpnz4qnR3f6O67btKmoVPEIO5XQEhry8Xb6zG41fuk/mobilebasic?pli=1 they’re just about to be complete but they’re not my own. While they somewhat influenced me to take it upon myself and do my own, mine are more comprehensive as easily to understand for all, not to mention I’m taking it a step further by implementing them onto the Keyword Pages themselves. https://docs.google.com/document/d/12Jdeyz3AEL8WpBBmIEnJm9tBSL_lApoBZiqvL7nXX94/edit Been working on this since mid November but it’s not easy. So if you want something more accurate, just read my own on here from now on. I’ll share my google doc again when it’s actually done.

#SundayRundown - Bleach You see, Aizen used Kyoka Suigetsu to make Yhwach think his name is pronounced as “Your Watch,” which made him look at a wristwatch he thought he had but was just an illusion and that’s how Yhwach lost track of time. Joking aside, it’s crazy that Aizen can put you under Kyoka Suigetsu just by being in his presence and how he can even affect someone’s perception of time which I’m sure is separate from the 5 senses.

Information on soul cycle: Souls with weak spirit energy - recycled - implied by the balance of souls concept. Souls with moderate spirit energy below captain class - get dispersed into spirit particles/reishi and return to soul society. - mentioned by Kaien during Rukia's flashback when she was fighting espada 9. Souls with captain class spirit energy, usually lieutenant and above, have a different process explained in the new Bleach one shot. Basically the concept Kubo is going with is based on the reishi density. The more dense the reishi of a soul(higher spirit energy therefore stronger spirit pressure) the more difficult it is for it to get reincarnated. Kinda similar to the hindu concept of samsara. When a soul reaches pure enlightenment they are released from samsara, therefore stop being reincarnated. I guess you could say souls achieving lieutenant and above ranks are enlightened.

Rest in peace Yamamoto, may you join the ranks of badass old men in anime that die for the younger generation. 🫡

#SundayRundown - it's not a spoiler to say that ichigo is indeed isshins son, Yhwach is being metaphorical when he says my son. Also we have already met (and Ywach has named) 3 of the 5 special threats already: Kenpachi, Aizen and Ichigo.

Ultimate Waifu

Of course you have to watch the original series first! All the reveal’s in this arc would have zero weight without it!!

#sundayrundown how did you guys not notice unohana in the flashback she literally cut someone in half

SilentCilantro

back when reading the manga of this arc i pronounced his name as "why-back" cause it was easier for me

Mugen Shiratori

For Rana: The OST is a remixed version of "Nothing can be Explained". The lyrics you heard are: "Given the chance I would happily dance on the grave of the ones you showed no remorse."

Lord Madara

Don't worry Rana is only trying to hide that she has a crush on Jugram by insulting him.

Ahan Shankwalkar

#sunday rundown bleach. they already called ichigo and aizen special treats in previous episodes, so those are two of the five.

#SUNDAYRUNDOWN BLEACH PEAK PEAK PEAK I hope y'all eventually do an Ost video for Bleach reacting to them, a tier list etc I think that would be fun The main point behind Yhwach's speech towards Yama is to express how different the Shinigami or Gotei 13 was back then. Yama wasn't just a Monster when times called for it he was a product of the time period. Peace changed Yama, and better yet it changed the Gotei. They are much less ruthless and have far more morals than they previously held. (This understanding is important because it plays into why Yhwach is doing what he is doing, the Gotei has a long history and we know how bad they can be even in current times) In ch. 387 (or during the battle between Komamura and Tosen in the anime) we get a quick Kubo Volume Poem which is about Yamamoto, it goes: "Do not live bowing down. Die standing up." This was a setup for what Kubo would do much later in the TYBW arc Not sure if y'all caught it, but Ichigo subconsciously used Sonido an arrancar technique when he went to Byakuya, difference is Sonido doesn't exert reiatsu when used, that's why everybody was like "what was that" because his reiatsu vanished for a second Back when Aizen was talking to Ichigo, he was about to tell him why he was watching him since birth, but then Isshin intentionally cut him off, this is why. (Also why Yhwach says "Enemy?" as if he doesn't view Ichigo in that way) - If you go to the very first episode of Bleach, you'll notice that Ichigo's bed sheet is a blue Cross, pretty cool foreshadowing so early on Ichigo not being able to help during the attack is another directly set concept, we know that his biggest trauma was his inability to protect him mother, that's why he's always so focused on protecting his loved ones, and here he relieves that feeling...complete helplessness, and fittingly enough his mother's saves him again just like when he was a kid (Tho this time it's through her blood)

SilentCilantro

The 5 special war potentials of the wandenreich: 1. Ichigo Kurosaki 2. ??? 3. Souske Aizen 4. ??? 5. TBD (though i have my theories)

ChipHand_Z

YWACH said in Ep4 that Kenpachi was considered a special threat as well, so it's no spoiler.

rick santos

I don't know how ahead you guys are in episodes but the "son" thing is not meant to be taken literally. Yhwach is the "father" of all quincies afterall
