I knew after it passed the certain regularly scheduled time from nearly an hour ago that it had to be copyright issues again, YouTube is becoming more strict with censorship and Bleach music has always inherently been copyright protected. Thankfully, you guys are almost caught up so it won’t be an issue for long.

#SundayRundown Bleach TYBW Let’s hope this one gets showcased. That “Yooooooooooooooo……….Yaw” During Shunsui’s Bankai activation signifies the start of a Japanese theatrical play is immensely addictive and satisfying, send help as I can’t stop playing it. Anyways, Reikaku = Spirit Sense And the ‘Dharma Doll Fell Down/Bodhidharma Falls Down’ that Lilie Barro recognized as ‘chocolate ingles’ from Spain are both similar, if not identical to Red-Light, Green-Light as a children’s game, which is the gist of Shunsui’s Shikai abilities and like all Bankais, his is the Adult/Inverse version of that concept. The Theatrical Bankai: KatenKyōkotsu Karamatsu Shinjū (Bones of Heavenly Blooming Madness: Withering Pine Lovers' Suicide/ Flower Crazed Heaven Bone Spirit Withered Pine Love Suicide) To release, Shunsui holds his Shikai out in front of him with the blades pointing down, which prompts several black tendrils to extend out from him like shadows (resembling ink-drawn pine branches) while his Zanpakutō Spirit, Katen or ‘Ohana’ manifests behind him who was revealed along with most other Zanpakutō Spirits in the anime canon Zanpakutō Rebellion arc (Eps 230 - 265) as the best in anime. A vast area around Shunsui is subsequently overcast by an aura that alters the perception of those it reaches, making their surroundings appear ‘gloomy, desolate, and full of despair’ while inducing chills, and making the sky appear as if covered in eerie yellow squares, like the paneling of a theater stage, and much like Yamamoto’s Bankai with its 4 directional phases, Shunsui’s is divided into 4 acts of an adult tragic play. Act 1: ‘Hesitance and Apportionment of Wounds’ - A man hits a woman, he feels great shame as if the wounds he inflicted he can also feel them, and it becomes real damage, from mental to physical. In context, Any wounds that Shunsui or his opponent inflict on each other will emerge on their body as well, shareing the pain. Act 2: ‘The Pillow of Shame’ - The man starts feeling even worse for what he did and develops a sickness cause of this great shame. In context, black spots appear all over the body of Shunsui's opponent, causing them to bleed profusely. Act 3: ‘The Severing Abyss’ - As a way to atone the man drops into an endless ocean hoping to drown and the woman also drowns with him because she pities him. However, the man becomes a coward, starting to swim up to the surface abandoning his promise to drown along with the woman. In context, Shunsui and his opponent are engulfed in a massive, inescapable body of water, which both are meant to remain in until one of them runs out of Reiatsu and drowns. Final Act: ‘Thread-Cutting Scissors upon a Blood-Streaked Throat’ - As a result of all this, the woman wanting to get rid of the man's regret and cowardness, cuts his throat. In context, After sheathing his swords, Shunsui winds a white thread around his opponent's throat multiple times before pulling it out, leaving a deep cut in their throat that expands before blowing up their head. As for Lilie Barro’s transformation, it’s his Vollständig/Voll Stern Dich: ‘Ziliel’ (Judgment of God) which is based on the biblically accurate Seraphim angels since he’s the 1st Quincy to be granted a Schrift by Yhwach as the ‘closest to God’ and has power over the ethereal light itself.

Bleach TYBW Episode 35- “Don’t Chase A Shadow” Keyword Page 1: Shunsui Kyōraku “Current Head Captain Commander of the 13 Court Guard Squads. Formerly captain of the 8th Squad, he took over from the deceased Shigekuni Genryūsai Yamamoto as head captain. His skills as a Soul Reaper have been outstanding since his days at the Genzijuku, and he honed his skills as a Soul Reaper together with Jūshirō Ukitake, the current captain of the 13th Squad of the 13 Court Guard Squads, and after graduation he became the first captain from the Genzijuku. He wields a pair of zanpakuto swords, which is a very rare occurrence in Soul Society. His shikai is ‘Katen Kyōkotsu’ (‘Bones of Heavenly Blooming Madness’) and it has the ability to ‘turn children's games into reality’. He played several games with Lille Barro: ‘Daruma-san ga koronada’, (’The Daruma Doll Fell Over’- a Japanese children’s game, similar to ’Red light, Green Light’) ‘Kage Oni’ (‘Shadow Demon’) and ‘Kageokuri’ (‘Shadow Sending’) with Lille Barro.” Episode 35 Keyword Page 2: Lille Barro “His Schrift (‘Holy Script/Letter’) is ‘X’ ’The X-Axis’ representing the ability to ‘penetrate all things’. He is the Schutzstaffel Quincy leader who was the first to be granted a Schrift from Yhwach and the man closest to God. He can use the sniper rifle ‘Diagram’ to shoot through everything between the muzzle of the gun and the target. Although Lille's ‘Diagram’ is in the shape of a gun, it is essentially a ‘bow’ just like weapons of other Quincies, and it is created from his own spirit particles.”

Im having the same issue

Matthew Richson

And this apparently only one of the plays that Shunsui’s Bankai can do. We’ve only scratched the surface with it. Also, it’s heavily implied that he and Ohana/Katen are more or less a married couple. You can see in how they interact with each other.

Gremmy Thoumeaux

Now you guys know why Ukitake told Shunsui “You shouldn’t use your Bankai where others might see it.” As you can imagine, everyone in Fake Karakura Town nearby would’ve all been caught up in the Bankai’s effects which is why he waited until everyone else left when he used it against Lille. Also explains why he didn’t use it on Aizen either since everyone tried to gang up on Aizen at the time though it would be a gamble anyway due to Aizen’s perfect hypnosis.

Burntberries

I guess they forgot that Shunsui lost his eye in part 1 of TYBW

All Mighty Lowercase Jay

#SundayRundown #Bleach Fun Fact Ohana character design was actually shown in the anime only Zanpakuto Rebellion Arc along side many of the other Soul Reapers Zanpakuto Spirits before being made Canon in the Manga. Also Shunsui lost his Eye in part one during the Quincy Invasion of Soul Society by a Quency named Robert.

All Mighty Lowercase Jay

Yeah all i needed to do i log out and back in and it work as it should so maybe try that.

Trevor

#SundayRundown This episode shows just how much the people who said Starrk was only number one to piss Barragan off were wrong. Thirty seconds of fighting Starrk in his Resureccion and Kyouraku was ready to kill half the cast with this bankai to stop him. Starrk was casually toying with Kyouraku, who was rocking Lille's world until he used his god powers.

Gremmy Thoumeaux

You got to love how all of Shunsui’s opponents mostly consisted of people who used guns. Coyote Starrk, Robert Accutrone, and now Lille Barro unless you count Chad’s muscles 💪 as guns. How did Ichigo put it? “I can’t even imagine Chad losing.” 😅 If that was me who said that, perhaps Shunsui would’ve lost to Chad that day. 🤷

Tyler Ryan

Log out of Patreon? That didn’t work for me if that was what you meant

Step B.

Especially cause now we know from Kubo that Aizen had to wait until Starrk split himself into 2 before trying to recruit him he was that absurdly strong

#SundayRundown #BLEACH Really guys? REALLY??? You're now forgetting things that happened IN THIS ARC?! 🤣 NO, Kyouraku hasn't always had an eye-patch. He lost that eye in core 1 to Heisenberg. That's what y'all called Robert Accutrone. He shot out Kyouraku's eye with a gun when Kyouraku was distracted. He had 2 all throughout the first series. Now, he wears a patch like Kenny, but unlike Kenny, he actually needs it. --- You guys have caught on to the fact that "BLEACH"s art style is simple on purpose. It's been Kubo's style from the beginning. You can look at him and Kishimoto as opposites in that regard. Kishimoto is all about details. The "Naruto" manga is filled with wide shots of various locations that are filled with intricate details that draw you into the world. Kubo is all about LACK of details. "BLEACH" is filled with close shots of characters in front of completely blank backgrounds that draw you into the characters emotions. --- I freaked out when I saw Katen Kyoukotsu manifested. I ultimately soured on the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc by the end of it, but seeing at least this character design from that filler made canon was a special treat. 🤩

#SundayRundown You guys seem to have forgot in this video, but Shunsui lost his eye during the first Quincy Invasion in Cour 1 episode 3. Robert Acutrone (aka Quincy Walter White) shot it out. He only got the eyepatch after that.

ChipHand Z

Presumably if pre-Hogyoku Aizen had been caught up in it, whether Kyoka Suigetsu is active or not wouldn't have mattered. He can't be that far away from his illusions, so it may have ensnared him too.

Adan Guzman

It’s crazy to think THIS is the Bankai that Starrk almost forced Shunsui to use on him back then before Ukitake stepped in to help. I think it’s safe to say, Starrk was not going to survive this, as well as others would would’ve got caught up in that Bankai.

Rickey66

What do you mean, he always had an eye patch.😂 the Normies are having the Mandela effect in real time.

Tcrimson05T

The goat. My favorite Bleach captain always. 👘

The Normies

Sorry that you guys are having trouble. We have adjusted something with our website. You might need to refresh and login/logout for the changes to take effect. Please let me know if you can access after doing all of this.

Tyler Ryan

No luck, all it does is direct me to sub again

Gin

Guys shunsui lost his eye when yamamoto died. That other Quincy with a gun shot his eye when shunsui lost his composure after yamaji died fighting. He always had two eyes in Og bleach

UnluckyN

I cant access it either. Before there was a "refresh" link button which let me access the website even when my patreon sub was about to expire

Radas

Still not working guys

Anderson Lake(The Bleach)

ecko91

Ultimate Waifu

Patreon isn’t letting me access the video

ecko91

same for me, it doesnt seem to work on the normies website. Right now they're dealing with copyright stuff before they release the reaction part.

The way Shunsui effortlessly takes centre stage is always a sight to behold, it looked tumultuous for the group until he turned the tables. Almost immediately gaining the upper hand, not only because of his ability, but his confidence and tactical nuance, in spite of some very glaring disadvantages. The music during the start of their battle is also called 'FIGHT THE FIGHT - version 3rd', another masterclass from the main man Sagisu. Eventually, Shunsui is backed into a corner, as just like Pernida, Lille unleashes a devastating new form, so in turn, Shunsui finally releases his bankai. The very one that Stark demanded to see, and Ukitake warned him not to use around comrades. You understand why given how large the reach it has. We see a shot of Chad and Orihime looking inquisitive and concerned respectfully. In the manga, Chad is curious over what is happening, and described the atmosphere as 'getting the chills', which is most comparable to As Nodt's power of fear. While this omission is a shame, it adds to the intrigue and you as a viewer are equally confused. The sound design was top notch as ever, as when Ichigo recognizes the spiritual pressure, there is a deafening noise spliced into the background, making it appear more claustrophobic and overwhelming. This is what an anime studio should do with adaptations, generate a sequence that propels the source material. In turn, we get a sense of how the characters are feeling through their interpretation. Then we finally see the performance, one inspired by the Japanese kabuki theatre, which I wasn't overly familiar until I read the chapter years ago. Again, the anime goes a different direction, in the manga, the background area becomes morbid, whereas here we see an almost a golden glow with string-like patterns referencing the kabuki plays. So it is strange that they kept the part in about Shunsui asking Lille if this world seemed more depressing, it doesn't jive with the tone. Nevertheless, Katen Kyokotsu Karamatsu Shinju demonstrates power which we've never seen before. Inflicting shared wounds, instantly poisoning the opponent and drowning them, all sequentially. It does so beautifully, especially with the soundtrack and sound effects wrapping around the scenes again. Telling the tale of a lover's suicide, which is seemingly inspired by the play Sonezaki Shinju from Chikamatsu Mozaemon. There was a brilliant breakdown on reddit about all this, which is honestly too stacked for you guys to discuss here, but maybe some other time. We also finally see Katen in the canon, as she made an appearance in the Zanpakuto filler arc. She represents her bankai very well, beautiful but mercilessly cruel and not in the mood for games. With the final act, the anime staff outdid themselves yet again, by creating a watercolour style shot as Shunsui lands the final blow, they did not need to add this much aura honestly. Oh and I'll need Penguin for another assist. They actually spoiled Shunsui's bankai in a trailer, which was insane to do, but as we've made it to this episode now, I highly recommend you guys to watch it.

Dominic Caciappo

Does anyone have a work around with the website not working?

ra-TH_

Still haven't even been able to watch episode 33.. this kinda sucks bc no matter what I do, it says I have to pay again.

Dominic Caciappo

Nothing works for me on the Normies website.

JK

The website isn’t working for me

packers989

the website isn't working for me either, and if I open a video link in a new tab, its taking me back to the same page.

Dominic Caciappo

This worked for me! it did prompt me to login or link, which was not an issue for me previously, just everything on the website was unresponsive. Thank you for the fix.

Xai Lor

Try turning off ad blockers, I was using fire fox with ublock and the website wasn't working but then I used crome without any ad blockers and it worked for me

Kayso

Best episode so far, this was so hype. Kyoraku's bankai is fire af and I like how it has different acts. Kyoraku always fighting someone with guns lmao. First ofc Starrk, then the Sternritter Robert in season 1 of TYBW and now Lille Barro. Also love how we see Kyoraku's sword spirit Ohana who was in the Zanpakuto Rebellion arc. It shows everyone's Zanpakuto spirits and you get to see their designs. Idk if y'all are considering watching it, but it's worth it. Renji's monkey and snake (Zabimaru - which yall have seen before) is in the arc as well

Meh

Shunsui lost his eye during the Quincey invasion right before Yamamoto died. Somethng I always enjoyed about Bleach over other anime is how thought out the concepts of the Zanpakutou abilities and expansions between shikai and bankai. Something I've wondered about but never looked into is the actual japanese term for like a stage play/performance/show. Shunsui's Shikai is childrens games, while his bankai is more of an adult game and I'm willing to bet there is a very intentional word play somewhere in there. "Asobi" is "play", but I've only ever heard them pronouce "game" with an accent (geimu), so I'm not sure if there is a word for it.

Denickart

Other way around really. Kyoraku was barely using his shikai abilities up to that point.

Sou saetern

I have watched both sub and dub. The sub bankai does sound better, no hate. And definitely the sub translation of the line before it, "time to make the next move from the end of the rope." It just sounds better than the dub translation. Dub still good though 👍

Michael H

I haven't seen anyone mention this, but Shunsui also lost part of his ear in addition to his eye.

YungZeus

Damn, so that’s how you say Lille’s name. I never heard his name clearly when I first saw this ep in Japanese and the other times they’d said his name.

Nina

not where I thought this comment was going. if anything, it’s a testament to how strong and under appreciated starrk really is, especially seeing as he was fighting totally unmotivated and with half his spiritual pressure. it was bad writing in my opinion to never show the full extent of the no.1 espadas powers. Nearly every single other espada got their flowers. even yammy ffs 🤦🏻‍♀️

Nina

I think the reverse situation with kenpachi and him might blur things in some people’s minds (kenpachi lost his kyoraku got his)

ichigo

Why the hell is most of this cour muted? Do you know how annoying it is trying to listen two different sources? I won't be bothering with this again.

Phil

It's so subtards can watch with their own audio because they get triggered when anime characters speak English

Phil

No one cares bro

The Normies

We were experimenting with a new headphone method of recording, and this was during the early stages of finessing it. Future episodes will have the volume much louder.

phunkrsd

You definitely do though, little bro.

Dante Johnson

I'm sorry, but how are people who watch every episode so... Well, dense? Shunsui lost his eye in the first cour, and throughout has show he wears an eyepatch... Are they really that dense or what?

Zach Ziegler

New here so sorry if this was explained already, but why are the uncut videos blurred?

Darren Mwale

Where is this video? It’s not here

Jose Manga

Hi sorry can’t access your website keep asking me to verify my email address I didn’t notice that I still have attached an email Address I no longer have access to. Any way you guys can help?, thank you!

Stefan B

To be fair they are watching A LOT of stuff
