Hello!

Well, we're back with another live reaction, this time to episode 46 of TYBW titled 'The End'. And, yes, the end is well and truly in sight, as we appear to reach the end of the war in Wahrwelt...but there are still some surprises in store!

Enjoy, and thanks for the support.

The manga comes with the chair! A (almost) whole faithful chapter, with some add that makes it 100% better, specially the portrayal of Ichigo's despair

Matthew Richson

One particular individual felt the anime team failed to convey a proper reaction to Orihime’s death from Ichigo. To the point they called it character assassination. What do you think?

Julius_Bort

ill keep on supporting you here

Dirk Buzzard

I'm not sure if this was Viz or it was orchestrated by people upset by the scale of last week's success, but either way I never could've imagined a more drastic halt in momentum. For as long as I've been reading and watching Bleach, I don't believe it has ever reached the heights that it did following last week and not even a week later they have almost completely destroyed it. Extremely disappointed in the parties responsible, whoever that may be.

SkeithDE

My theory on the statues is that the moment Orihime temporarily killed Yhwach, that the statues ceased to be animated. Though he then brought himself back, the statues did not come back in his new future.

konflux

My timing for subbing to Patreon is crazy. I'm still hopeful something good happens on the Youtube bs I hope it could be overturned

Stuart Workman

I will keep supporting you on here if youtube wont allow the reactions. Loving the content as always. Keep up the good work!!!

JPR3AP3R

Officially pirating all BLEACH episodes and all VIZ content, along with dropping 1-Star reviews in protest for this. To knee-cap the fandom and denying us spaces to celebrate and discuss the art we love is a dick move and I refuse to be limited when, without our support, none of this would exist anyway.

Ace The Dragon

Dude, my fucking goat renji 😭 Bro tried to help just to get cut up like sushi

Trae Young Supremacist

i really dislike what they did with the panel of yhwach saying "the almighty is not the power to see the future..." that's been a scene i've been looking forward to seeing animated since tybw was announced. the storyboarding/pacing was also a little weird /fast to me but still a good episode though. i love how powerful and sinister yhwach is, really seems like there is no hope against him and he enjoys the fact that he can toy with them, giving and taking their hope away.

Noel Janabi

Tommo! My condolences for having to remove your live reactions. I too was a huge fan of them and always rushed to watch them to see your reaction after I watched the episode. But do not give in to despair! I have come to realize that it’s not just bleach content I love watching, it’s specifically your bleach content that I love and I’m sure many others feel the same. For as long as you do what you love, you will have my support!

Colby Slyapich

I’m glad I wasn’t alone in how the transition back to the manga felt a little sloppy with the glove.. so like.. it did nothing? 😂😂

Dirk Buzzard

Also, this week's episode was honestly not executed very well outside of the new content. Idk, not super happy with this week as a whole

Xailes

Small detail, (idk if it was a mistranslation of the site I saw it on) but Yhwach called Tensa Zangetsu a "new" bankai

Frank Franklin

This week definitely felt pretty messy, jumping around and just rushing through it all again

Adrian

My god Renji got dismantled straight Sukuna style

Un4GivenSounds

I will support you here! Thanks for the opportunity

LegoKnightAlpha

Finally jumped from YouTube to patron! Glad I can sub to your channel 🎊🎊

Olpazi Alter

i think his hollow bankai was activated by taking that pink attack Yha did, just like the horn was activated by taking quincy attacks the bankai activated by taking more quincy attacks, might be me overthinking things

Norm L. Mann

I feel like what the anime wanted to convey was that Yhwach needed the Balance specifically to counter Ichigo's Bankai to balance the battle back in his favor. Which is still incredibly poor timing and pacing on the anime's part when they have Ryuken and Isshin in Wahrwelt already. But it could explain why only Haschwalth got targeted.

Esther Dickerson

Ok, so it was not just me who was a little confused 😅 The comment about Yhwach and Jugram “swapping” powers was a bit puzzling, because I was like, wait, so swapping implies that Yhwach had the Balance all along and didn’t have the Almighty , and Jugram had the Almighty but not the Balance, so after a certain time, they swap the powers (yeah, it’s so sad they made the glove essentially irrelevant) but then wouldn’t that make all of last week’s fight even more weird, cuz then how did Yhwach ever use the Almighty and why did he never use the Balance on Ichigo? Might be overthinking the word swap tho maybe? 🤷‍♀️ I am anime only, but thankfully Ichigo’s form made sense to follow mostly because I play bbs and have been watching your reactions so knew slightly what to expect.. still nebulous on the Orihime aspect, mostly because it’s like, oh, so then it essentially didn’t matter because it technically never happened… unfortunate in a way, even it had to happen or whatever.. you’re right, the lack of reaction was a bit odd / funny.. the bit that confused me the most, but I actually liked the most was definitely the bit about the Soul King and Ichibe! Perfect timing for that ost by the way! 🔥 It did seem a little like Ichigo to just dive right in without hesitating, and I wonder if maybe it was because he was like, regardless of his own feelings, it’s a duty thing? And with Orihime gone it essentially was like ok, why really fight it then, it’s been inevitable..? What did Ichibe put into his head when he was up in the High Palace before in that case?? because I feel like he might have done a wee bit of brainwashing 👀 Ok, wow, sorry for the rambling! Just so much to take in it feels like..!! I really have appreciated your reactions to help sort and make sense of things that might have been rushed or were confusing, being anime-only!! ❤️ Absolutely will continue to watch, either here on Patreon or there on YouTube! Hopefully, things will be resolved speedily, and they try to make things right! Sorry it happened specifically now too, as yeah, last week’s episode was incredible. Can’t wait to see your reactions to the rest of the season! Thank you for all the hard work you put into these videos!

scarg

I didn't dislike this episode but it definitely felt like it suffered a good deal as a consequence of following the spectacle that was last week's episode. Definitely felt like there were a lot of minimal movement scenes and even cut away moments such as Ishida avoiding Haschwalth's sword that I suspect may have served to avoid having actually animate them. It also definitely felt like there should have been much more of an emotional response to Orihime's perceived death. Again, just feels a bit like The Balance was used to dispense a level of misfortune on the production of this episode proportionate to the good fortune the previous one got.

Sejad Lulic

the dialogue that suggests that uryus big brain move with the glove and his schrift did do nothing and the allmighty disappeared from hashwalth just at that moment in convenient timing ... is something I delude myself into believing it isnt canon. Thats too stupid to be true. (maybe its a translation error lol :D)

Eternity

Back on my bs with the theory this week. Akon's line about needing to create balance in the Soul Society by opening a gate to Hueco Mundo makes me think we'll be seeing Halibel again. Maybe she'll come into Soul Society and help Hitsugaya hold off Gerard

Bradeh

I've seen a few different translations but it definitely seems to read as if Yhwach needed to sacrifice Jugram to break Tensa Zangetsu.

martin meeks

Wow 3 episodes left and Gerad is still alive

KenBoozer93

In the bleach game thats how it looks when yw uses his almighty. Kind of a cool tie in

Mark Goodwin

I wonder if the reason Yhwach will go to soul society in the anime, will be to deal with Ukitake and mimihagi? And everyone will come together stop him. I really hope Gerard gets a better ending.

Renn

Came here and subscribed instantly right after I saw the more depressing video. Hope you’re doing well.

KenBoozer93

New to patreon after seeing your YT vid. My Saturdays aren’t complete without you so i came over here

Calvin

Good to see that Orihime's actions were not just a vision. I think that was the worst thing they could have done and they did exactly as i hoped that they did and just have the Almighty unreject them both so both come back alive. Funny how everything in this episode was the complete opposite of last episode. We are back to 100% manga adaptation, which is to be expected. I didn't think Kubo was crazy enough to change everything about the ending. The only thing I'm not sure if has any consequence is Akon saying that he's going to open a gate to Hueco Mundo in Soul Society to balance things out. I believe this is an anime only scene. They bothered to animate a 30-45 second extra scene for Akon saying that they're doing this. I wonder if this is going to be something of meaning or if this is just to further emphasis the gravity of the situation. Something to keep a thought on going into future episodes.

Calvin

I am glad they chose to do it this way instead of making it just a vision of a possible future in Yhwach head. I think that would have kinda cheapened her sacrifice and instead i think this makes things even bleaker for Ichigo knowing that not even that killed him along with Yhwach breaking his Bankai.

Calvin

I think that's exactly what is being implied. It was either they ran out of time or losing his power makes the Almighty go back to Yhwach instead of losing The Balance. Hashwalth kinda needed this to happen as they never really explained/showed his shrift in full action. Same with Uryu, so their manga fight kinda had to come back in some form. The only question i have is whether Hashwalth could use The Balance while having The Almighty. If not, I would wonder why he never used it against Hashwalth while he had The Almighty. Even Hashwalth said that Uryu's The Antithesis might be able to rival The Almighty, so not sure why he couldn't use it at the time. Probably just for plot convenience and showing more of his other powers i guess.

Calvin

I don't know why you would think that it would be anything other than this? This was a very predictable episode. There was 0 chance Kubo was changing the entire ending of the TYBW or we would have heard the insane costs of the next few episode. He had to go back to the main manga in some shape or form and this was the obvious path.

Calvin

I thought that was a weird extra scene to put in too as it doesn't feel like it would be something worth animating for anime only.

SuchAVastReality

We have come far as a community to let this mess on YouTube stop our support for all the BLEACH creators that have kept the series alive throughout the years. That being said, much love to all that you share with your great content to us fans of the series. Regaurdless what happens, we will continue to support you no matter what MrTommo! Rip Renji!🙏

Calvin

I don't know why everyone was so hyped up to think that they wouldn't go back to manga only adaptation. I feel like everyone who thought that was in copium and expecting way too much. If they were only going to an extreme and go on a completely different route to the ending, we would have heard leaks and rumours that the last 5 episode of the anime was like 1-2mil each because they would have storyboard everything all over again and with no reference. It was so fucking obvious they had to go back to the manga. I think they handled it the best way they could especially since they had to back to the manga without cheaping up Orihime's sacrifice too much (like it just being a vision). Feels like you just set yourself up for disappointment by being too unrealistic with your own expectations. That's a you problem not a Kubo/Viz problem.

Dirk Buzzard

You have no idea what you're talking about. I'm talking about Viz media copyright striking all the reaction videos.

J.R.Smith

Where are the subtitles?

Marcos

I was a little puzzled by what happened to Rukia, but on a rewatch I think that they felt her death was just too gruesome to show and they decided to leave it to the imagination after showing Renji’s.

Hamza Haşim

It was a good episode, but there were shortcomings. I think Ichigo should say, "You sacrificed yourself, Orihime, and now it's my turn. I'll sacrifice myself too for our path." And when he says that, he should cry as he walks to the Soul King's place to become the Soul King. And when Rukia first used her Bankai, she wasn't capable of disengaging it because it's dangerous, but in this episode, she did it like nothing. That episode was 8-9/10 because of these.

Hamza Haşim

Ichigo was so emotionless in that scene.

Rox Unlimited

Excited for next episode. Heard it had a huge budget. Expecting episode 45 quality with all the reveals!

MtapK23

I don’t know if anyone else noticed this but, when Ichigo activated his Bankai, you can visually see the blood chains form around him when the red moon appears and the chains get absorbed into his Zanpakto once he says Tensa Zangetsu.

Jdbsozj Vsoznala

The auswahlen actually makes finally sense here in the anime because Yhwach only target Jugram. As he says, he needed Jugram's power to break Tensa Zangetsu. He needed the Balance to do it again, like Jugram broke Tensa Zangetsu back then in cour1.

Bear

Weird thing to reply on someone's expression of how they felt about the episode, your energy here isn't really the vibe we uplift in this community.

Gregg_Rulz0k

Considering he was completely willing to step up and become the soul king immidiately says to me he was more or less prepared to immidiately join her. I think he had already prepared for the possibility that she was willing to give her life to stop Yuha, and wouldn't want to insult her by having second thoughts like "I shouldn't have let her come" or "I should have protected her more" and instead solumnly accepted his duty to sacrifice himself for the world just as she did. If anything, her sacrifice probably made it easier for him to accept his own considering Orihime would have been the one hurt the most by him being gone. I'd also anticipate a conversation between the two about them both sacrificing themselves back to back, maybe even alongside the admission that they can't live without each other or something. Tldr, not a character assassination just a subdued and solumn response as Ichigo prepares to give up his life to save the world and make sure her sacrifice wasn't in vain.

Davaungh Houck

YouTube did a thing because now I am here on Patreon. I’d rather be supporting you.

Delane Gill

I don't think Ichigo was completely uncaring or callous in his reaction, I think he was just so crushed by the loss that he couldn't even talk about it. He literally went to sacrifice himself to be the next soul king without hesitation or fighting back against it because he likely couldn't imagine going forward to live a normal life without her

steven universe

joined the patreon at the best time, sorry but f viz, thank u for all your hard work tommo. this episode had me in such a chokehold at the end. what the hell is next

fletchlad82D

I'm still hoping we get a isshin bankai or izuru bankai

fletchlad82D

What's your opinions on fans creating their own bleach fanfic story? Like would you be willing to read them? Give them opinions and stuff

Abhishek 011h

in my eyes the Auswählen was used to break ichigos bankai hence the line "it is for this moment i needed you, my son" referring to jugo its pretty clear form last ep these battles are going at the same time so him being the only one effected by Auswählen after yuha said this makes more sense than the manga version imo

Stellar Endurance

Weird idea: What if Ywhach was actually using the Balance during the previous fight and that's why he decided to use Auswählen? Every time Ichigo and the others stood up, they were immediately slammed down in some way.

Ashton Patterson

Here to support from YouTube dawg. You’re the bleach goat I can’t miss your reaction and input🙏🏽

S P

Here from YT. Sorry about the strike!

Daniel Smith

It definetly feels super weird. My guess is that the future ywach picked was one with no Leiden Hand as he for some reason needed to auswahlen haschwalths power. Either that or the Leiden hand didn't work on haschwalths own power because of his weird status it was only meant to work on the almighty and uryu just took slightly too long. Either way it needs explanation because it was super unclear.

Ashton Patterson

The pacing, sequencing, and lingering emotional impact was kind of off this episode I can’t lie. It honestly would have been nice to just take care of the ichigo, yawach, orihime stuff in the first half. And let orihimes sacrifice breath and have some weight to it. Then conclude the Uryu fight at the end and let Haschwalts realization and death linger a bit longer as well. I really hated that the glove was not the reason for him swapping the Almighty though. That felt like such a great change.

Daniel Smith

This makes sense but part of me wanders if Yhwach is not just referring to ichigo here, I can't remember if he's referred to anyone but ichigo as his son before. Don't get me wrong it fits for it to be haschwalth but Yhwach is about to "take" ichigos powers as well and mentioned last episode that he needed to understand ichigos powers in order to consume them. Like how the ritter need to understand a bankai in order to steal it. Either way there were a few ragged seams this week where the anime only stuff has been stitched onto a surprisingly rigid adaption of the manga

God, the broken Bankai is still so stupid. Was hoping for more.

Daniel Smith

Oooh this is interesting! This does make sense but I wish we could see Yuha using auswahlen'd shrift powers a bit more and that element was better established

Daniel Smith

I like this idea the issue is we don't see the balance working the way it does for haschwalth for Yuha at any point. I think it's a great theory that makes things make so much sense but I don't think the anime did enough to explain it. Maybe uryu will exposit some dialogue later or something

Daniel Smith

Maybe it was only meant to work on the Yuha/soul king power haschwalth had and doesn't work on haschwalths as he is a weird Quincy and Uryu just took slightly too long. My other theory is Yhwach just almighties that aspect as well because he needed haschwalths power hence the auswahlen. Regardless it's really unclear and could do with some classic anime exposition

Daniel Smith

I read it as ichigo was just so devasted he went numb, and so he just basically goes to sacrifice himself. Like how sometimes it's easier just to focus on something else rather than deal with your emotions if something is just so bad

Daniel Smith

Yeah it was definetly messy in places the joins from the anime only to manga stuff do not feel particularly seamless. I think it's fixable tho with some dialogue explaining what happened, which you shouldn't need to do but I'm just hoping they've done this so they can cram a tonne of anime only hype into the last few episodes

Daniel Smith

Never mind his battle with ichigo, viz need Yuha to fucking almighty those fucking copyright strikes. Utterly insane way to treat your community.

Unstablebeast

If it was just jugram that had his power taken, 1. That'd leave Gerard and lile to be taken out in way more interesting ways, and 2. That means ywach needed that extra power in order to break ichigos bankai, which again to me means if ichigo had used bankai back before ywach absorbed the soul king he would've won even with ywach having the almighty

Sejad Lulic

Why u doing this to me? 🥲

Sejad Lulic

I take the latter explanation for now.

BPStudio

they constantly say swap powers

BPStudio

my cope is there is a certain degree of cost to use the almighty and to the degree of breaking ichigos bankai cost his life... but why his hashwalths life valuable? because of the less than explained 2nd half stuff? maybe.

Gregg_Rulz0k

If the little blade represents Ichigo's Quincy powers, perhaps when he activates Bankai with both swords his Quincy side suppresses his Hollow side enough to stop him from transforming into Blood Chains and thus resulting in Tensa Zangetsu instead.

Emil Larsen

I was really hoping some sort of translation error too. I like the explanation that Yhwach just made it so Haschwalth didn't loose his powers, but I wish they had briefly mentioned that if it was the case. Maybe him telling Uryu that seeing the future isn't the true power is them saying he rewrote Haschwalth losing his power in a "read between the lines" kinda way.

Matthew Richson

To quote them directly, “What I'm complaining about is that the animators and writers failed to convey what Ichigo should be feeling after Orihime's death. All Ichigo does is say that Orihime sacrificed herself to keep them together and that the world isn't saved, and then he starts the ritual. No emotion from him towards Orihime's death. We are shown Tatsuki's feelings to Orihime's death more than we are shown Ichigo's.”

LoreDaddy

I’m curious what the reason for the different Bankais will be in the anime. I thought they were going to say that blood chains is when he popped it in horn of salvation, but he popped the manga one in HoS here. Maybe it’s tied to the day/night cycle? Daytime results in tensa zangetsu and nighttime results in blood chains?

Midnight Daybreak

Hm... I wonder if maybe Isshin and Ryuken have been spreading the Leiden Hant chips this whole time, and what we saw in the poem was Ryuken handing them off to Uryū to set them off? Also, I thought it was just Sōō Zabimaru that Yhwach obliterated. It did not register on my first watch that it was Renji himself O__O

Dirk Buzzard

Yeah Jugram getting hit by the Auschwalen was almost completely glossed over, whole episode felt extremely rushed

Adnan Malek

Honestly, I’m 99% positive the purpose of Blood Chains is to scale the “real” True Bankai. Ichigo is supposed to one shot Yhwach later on (nevermind one last Almighty hack of course) with a True Bankai getsuga — the fact that Blood Chains wasn’t able to kill Soul King Yhwach with a getsuga shows that Yhwach might be right to be afraid of Tensa Zangetsu.

DJ Pâtes Blog

I love the callback to the blade being cut in 2 like that episode Byakuya cuts Ichigo's first Zanpakuto prior to Hollowfication training to become again a Shinigami.

DJ Pâtes Blog

And yea, this is my first Patreon subscription ever going to you

EtherealStoicism

On the issue of multiple Bankai’s; have you considered that maybe Blood Chains is an activation of only Shinigami and Hollow powers? We didn’t actually SEE Ichigo put his blades together in episode 45. However, in this one we do, and then we get the Manga version. So could this mean that the Manga version, using both blades, incorporates his Quincy powers? This would explain why Ywach saw THIS version as being dangerous enough to break it in the future. (Aside from the fact that the Almighty wasn’t with him during the last fight.) Another thing is that the title card that explains the form, makes no mention of Quincy powers correct? Also, I think there is importance in Rukia saying “So that’s your Zangetsu”. That might be a literal giveaway, that it isn’t Tensa Zangetsu.

shinigamiO.O

It isn’t VIZ doing this, but this scammer Eric Green and his bullshit company RemoveYourMedia that is somehow based out of a Texas Walmart. He’s a hateful troll to the max.

Almightyslicks

I like to think back to episode 5 when Yhwatch told ichigo that orihime would be the last one to see ichigo vanish from this world. He probably intended to act on his promise to have her be the last to see ichigo die. Which is why he let her be when he proceeded to slaughter the entire group. Also did anyone else notice ichigo horn was on the right side of his head when he was in blood chains bankai? However, when he released blood chains, the horn was all a sudden on the left side which is the same horn Yhwatch tore off in episode 5.

corbin hopkins

Please explain to me what more they could've done. Thats literally the point of ywach power. Its devastating and unshakable power. There's nothing they could've done besides that. Unless you want them to nerf Almighty... there's nothing more they could do...

The healer disconnects and the whole raid gets wiped, GG
