So, in the anime Yhwach took Hashwalt's powers to be able to break Ichigo's bankai interesting change by the anime

Robenson BADETTE

I love the parralel between Ishida and Haschwalt's decisions and the "friend" relationship

Robenson BADETTE

Tsukishima, Ginjo and Giriko are dead, because in episode 8 of Part 1 of Bleach TYBW, Kukkaku (Ganju's sister) said : I found the three of you in the Rukon district so because they are human they died and now they are in soul society

2026-09-26 22:00 Btw renji ganju and chad could come up now because orihime rejected soul king yhwach and the statues that were regenerating due to soul king's power could not continue regenerating. Thus chad ganju and renji did nothing. The technique orihime used in ep 45 is called Rokutenshishun in ep 46 mid credit card. It is depicted as the ultimate evolution of Orihime's Shun Shun Rikka powers, combining all six of her rikka spirits into a single, absolute manifestation. Pushed to her absolute limit, Orihime unlocks a power that doesn't just block or heal, but completely "rejects" reality, suffering, battle, and pain—effectively refusing an unwanted world. this extreme state as trading the user's very soul or leaving no place for Orihime to remain within that altered reality, functioning as a pacifist counterpart to extreme final transformations. I see that no one having a greater reaction to Orihime's death as she rejected battles, suffering and pain and she didn't want a world where her friends and Ichigo will suffer even because of her death. Her rejection created a world with no suffering and pain thus yhwach said that he and orihime want the same type of world. Because in an altered reality orihime actually changed how the world works by rejecting battles, pain and suffering which greatly influences the world of bleach. Imagine all soul reapers and squad zero without battling. Also remember how Orihime has been gaining respect in yhwach's eyes. He called a human girl when he mocked Yamamoto for not taking orihime's help in healing his arm. Then he clocked her healing Ichigo from behind in ep 28 ( kill the king after ichigo's second fight against yhwach). Then called her women when she rejected his spiritual pressure and healed Ichigo in ep 43, finally calling her by name in ep 45 as she charged at him to reject him out of existence. This continues in upcoming ep 48. I will stand firm on orihime being a great written character from kubo's character. She is such a great example of a pacifist existing in the world of bleach which is dominated by battles. She will openly attack and opponent but she will always defend and heals her friends. Her kindness stops feeling like a bad attitude and character setup but starts feeling as positive resolve that she develops slowly throughout the series as gaining power in 1st arc, Feeling like a burden and not being able to contribute enough( self doubt) in 2nd and 3rd arc. Building herself back up from the rock bottom on arrancar saga in fullbringer arc where she is still cheerful but has a resolve now as she casually deflects ginjo's attacks. In tybw she heals yuki and shino, defend's from hollows, goes to heuco mundo for training with arrancars and wishes that there were no battles to begin with and everyone could respect each other's world. As they reach the royal palace she immediately goes to heal ichibe. She goes from a passive person to a proactive type person who tries to help wherever she can. She blocks Gerald's air swing and stands against yhwach spiritual pressure which rukia and renji were unable to do. In all the fight against yhwach in ep 42,43,44 and 45 she effectivly blocks yhwach 6 times from harming Ichigo. She heals Ichigo 2 times. Then she rejects Ichigo's death 4 times and her own death 6 times. Later on she deflects soul king yhwach laser beams 2 and rejects him.

Also gin, Yamamoto, Unohana and Ukitate have died in total. Also you are right about bleach not killing characters. That's why I think tybw has more consequences as people who are important have died and soul society has suffered great damage as against to war against espada and aizen where only gin dies.

2026-09-27 06:00 So just to say: Ichigo did kill Ginjo. And Tsukishima and Giriko also died. Their souls just moved on to the Soul Society after they died. I like that the circular nature of death and reincarnation among the three worlds allows for things like that to happen. As for character deaths in general, I suppose I agree that Bleach doesn't kill characters a whole lot, but it's worth a mention that before this arc Tosen and Gin as well as most of the Espada, (but from that group I mainly cared about Starrk and Ulqi - probably unfair to have Starrk here but I'm way too much of a fan of his) did die. And in TYBW obviously we had Unohana, Ukitake and Yamamoto (and I guess I'll put Sasakibe on here, though know he was never much of a character beforehand). Personally I feel the stakes in fights are more emotional than physical anyway, so it doesn't bother. Apologies, I didn't have the time to watch the end of the discussion as of writing this comment, maybe you refer to this again. If you do, please ignore these parts: But about Yhwach taking Haschwalth's powers - I actually really like and prefer this over the manga version. In the manga he kind of takes them for no reason..? Just so he can enter the new world alone, or reclaim parts of his soul or something? It was never properly explained (or explained at all!) imo. But here like you inferred I do think we're meant to connect the dots that he took Haschwalth's powers because he's not strong enough to break Ichigo's bankai with his own. Or rather that Ichigo's true bankai is too strong for him to break on his own. The fact that he says "It is for this moment, that I needed you, my son" just beforehand really drives it home for me. Maybe an indication that he recieved the power would have been nice, but I just see it as the power immediately going to the effect of cancelling out/breaking Tensa Zangetsu, rather than going into Yhwach's "stores". And concerning previous uses of Auswahlen, iirc only the Soldat were stripped to their bones when he used it fighting Ichibe, all of the Sternritter that we've seen (in the anime, at least. Since we don't see Robert Accutrone's manga skeleton death) survived in a weakened state. I'll not refer to the 'other' sternritter you're talking about obv, at least not in relation to the anime. love your reactions, please keep it up!

Gosh that ending with Haschwalt remembering his *friend* and him keeping the sword, a Black sword from Bazz B’s home, is utterly heartbreaking My little meow meow just needed to be with his friend but abuse, misunderstanding, ambition, a need of recognition drove them apart 😭 now they are together again without Ywhach coming between them Uryu reminding him how important are his friends in face of the quincy cause was a literal slap for Haschwalt, and no matter how much he said he has no regrets, i believe he wouldn’t think of his only friend he killed in his dying moments if he really did have no regrets Uryu, my other Meow Meow was amazing since the start of the TYBW, but cour 4 took him to another level of amazing.. the game of uno reverse cards he played with Haschwalt and him being raw and true to his feelings towards his friends is beautiful to watch.. i m sad him and Haschwalt couldn’t be friends because they would have mesh so well Ywhach may be annoying but he is absolutely terrifying.. the nonchalance with which he delivers the coldest lines give me chills.. *you could achieve all that because i wasn’t here* … damn that was savage Shawarma Renji is here , damn that boy can’t catch a break… 😭🤣 The three Fullbringers did die in the word of the living by the hand of Ichigo, Byakuya and Kenpachi. In the end of the Fullbring arc, we see Ichigo retrieving their bodies to hold a funeral for them, for which Yamamoto granted his permission and added: *do you know what it does mean to hold a funeral for them?* hinting that they would be allowed to reincarnate in the soul society that way Amazing video as always, excited for next week.

Be Happy

Hello Can you plz delete the sentence when you say Ywhach will call Orihime by name in ep 48 ? Romania would rather not know that Thank you

Romania Black

Yeah, that is an interesting change, indeed! And it does make sense!

Romania Black

ABSOLUTELY -- I was WAITING for that in the anime because it's one of the best moments in the manga, but this helped to expand and get there!

Romania Black

Yeahhhh, I'll talk about that in the intro for this coming week's episode -- the world-building on the souls and where they go is....ehhhh, a little messy, but thank you for the comments and clarifying! The only manga volumes I don't have are the end of the Fullbring arc (because I didn't like the end of it) so I didn't have a reference.

Romania Black

Thank you for the head count -- YES, I at least appreciate that folks die in this arc and stay dead to add more weight to the stakes of the series. Thank you for the comment!

Romania Black

Yessss, I’m going to talk about that in the intro for Episode 47 (That I recorded already); honestly the reincarnation element of worldbuilding in Bleach is a little messy at times, but I appreciate folks explaining. I don’t have the last volumes of the Fullbring arc (the only ones I’m really missing) because I wasn’t a fan of the ending hahaha! And yeah, I meant the “heroes” or Shinigami that didn’t die – of course, the villains (for the most part) have, especially if they’re hollow-based. At least until TYBW. And yeah, Yhwach taking Haschwalth’s powers to stop Ichigo’s bankai makes sense. Especially compared to the anime. Thank you for the comment and kind words! I appreciate that!

Romania Black

Hashwalth and the sword at the end – it’s so heartbreaking – doomed yaoi, indeed! Kubo really wrote his and Bazz-B’s story PERFECTLY! This has really be Uryu’s arc, and like you said, for good reason, since it’s Quincy-themed; it’s what I always hoped for! 😀And we love a game of Uno reverse! Hahaha, I just cannot take Yhwach as anything but annoying to me at this point – I’m over here sipping on my drink like, “Defeat him, already!” I think if I hadn’t read the manga and didn’t know he gets defeated, I would perhaps view him as more threatening in this series. But as a manga reader, I just cannot with him. XD SHAWARMA RENJI IS SO CRUEL – Seriously, our boy cannot catch ONE SINGLE BREAK. T_T Yeahhh, I admittedly do not have the last volume of the Fullbring arc because I wasn’t the biggest fan of its ending. But that’s good to note about the funeral – I’m always side-eying the world building of soul reincarnation in this series, but it is what it is. Thank you for that information and the kind words! We’re getting closer to the end!
