Been waiting on this

NATE

WELCOME TO MY SOUL SOCIETY

KING ICHIGO

Time for some bleach Also know as peak

Dwayne Townsend

How we had them skip the filler and they seeing characters they have no clue about 😂

Shadowstep2010

Think back to what Kisuke Urahara told Ichigo when he helped restore his powers. He did say he had Soul Reaper powers himself. It had to be at least 1 of the parents :).

Brandocommando

The Arrancars are hollows who gain soul reaper abilities with the removal of their mask……. also arrancars and hollows are based on Spanish lore

Aaron williams

FINALLLY been itching every time yall said the mom was a soul reaper. Yall were sooooo close LOL

Raheem Mcdermott

I actually dont consider the Bount Arc to be a filler. People just dont like it. The characters from fillers are not supposed to show up in main story like this. The villain also shows up in the story later on. It just leads reactors to further confusion. Watch the bount arc on your own time at least.

shinx 28

do not watch the bounty arc that shit is an absolute garbonzo snoozefest

bwtwru

shinketsu, a true blood here means that ichigo didn’t just borrowed soul reaper power from rukia but he was born with it because of his pops.

Sherbet Lemon

Its a little confusing, but dont worry about those three filler characters. They arent a major part of the story other than small things like saving Kon there. It might be worth watching the Bount arc on your own if you have free time. Just binge it real quick in a day or two. Bingeing a couple seasons of anime doesnt take as long as youd think. You'll probably want to stop watching it half way through anyways. It's ass.

Dimitron

The bount arc is filler for sure tho

Aaron williams

No a true blood is someone born to A soul reaper as in just one. Remember soul reaper go to school to be one and that doesn’t guarantee you’ll manifest a zanpakuto. Also, if the mom was a soul reaper a weak hollow wouldn’t have killed her.

Cranidos' Skull

bounts or characters from the bount arc have never existed outside of the anime therefor they are purely filler.

Aaron williams

Honestly this reveal doesn’t feel earned because you skipped the filler 🤓

Shadowstep2010

You won't find the Bount arc in the Manga, because it's Filler. Do you not understand what filler is?

Byakuran

they are not in the manga and well practically never see them again. They are only in the first few episodes as a transition.

Aaron williams

I get what you’re saying but anime canon is a thing and I’m certain urahara mentioned the bount during the final arc. Just don’t remember when

Tay

Yokoso

271katbest

The filler characters really pushed back the moment I was waiting for🤦🏻‍♂️

Shadowstep2010

The Bount arc is Awful, and has absolutely nothing to do with the story.

Dwayne Townsend

This arc is full of Spanish themed music it’s really cool

271katbest

“Arrancar” is a Spanish word that translates to “rip off” in English.

Dwayne Townsend

Except for the characters they can’t identify 😂

Sherbet Lemon

Im so glad that no one spoiled the dad reveal :) We had to listen to you guys theorizing about the mom consistently this whole time. We were waiting for this moment. It's also the real reason that he showed up to greet Ichigo randomly in the night before he left for the Soul Society, and we all had to bullshit you with excuses for why he was there lol. Isshin knew about his son's awakening the entire time. Soul reapers can sense other soul reapers ;) Ichigo is not very good at it, though.

Brandocommando

You know this show is old when you see Shinji bust out the flip phone

Shadowstep2010

Filler is created to give the Manga time to get ahead, It's just a fiction story, and has nothing to do with the actual story itself. Canon is certain events happen in the story that is labeled "official” by the creator and or fans. Say if in the manga a supporting/secondary character is killed. This is now canon to the story as made by the creator. Canon is what is written by the creator of the story, FIller is when the anime producers make to fill in to create space from the Manga. Which is why It's called FILLER.

Shadowstep2010

Characters that will soon disappear and will almost never see again, because they don't actually exist in the story.

SpartanManJDOGG

The anime really blends the filler arc characters into the story. If you weren't aware that they were fillers, you would have thought it was just part of the story. That's what I thought when I originally went through bleach. Doesn't help that bleach has like 30-episode filler arcs either.

SpartanManJDOGG

Bounts as a concept are canon I'm pretty sure but that entire arc is not.

Shadowstep2010

@spartanmanJDOGG, In the anime yes, only because the filler arc, In the Manga the Bounts are never mentioned, not even a concept in the Manga.

Rook964

Well everything is explained as the story goes on. Some later than some 😆😆

BowleggedPiscesGuy

They weren't in the manga so that's whey they are filler. Just because the anime adaptation chose to include them in canon stuff doesn't make them canon. It's always a bad idea when anime adaptations try to intermingle filler stuff with canon.

Ultimate Winner

Uh gonna say. If Isshin hasn't shown his power yet, i doubt he want ichigo to know. Ofc he not gonna stay lmao. Also Urahara has up to this point to be very reserved in telling ichigo and squad anything.

David Waller

Just like lieutenants usually have a badge somewhere, typically the arm. All captains have their white robe. Isshin's captains robe is creatively tied around his shoulder.

Jonny

They are down to 10 captains Ron. Aizen, Gin and Tosen left. So they are down by 3

TaterThots

All your questions will be answered, some soon some much later. Side note, Itachi's VA is the white haired sickly captain that Rukia's squad is from. Also, regarding Ichigo's dad, it does somewhat make sense in a way because of how he always picks fights with Ichigo. It's almost like he was fighting him all the time to train his fighting instincts, which is why Ichigo was able to pick up on things quickly. The dad also probably knew that Ichigo was fated to become a Soul Reaper so he wanted to be prepared. In addition, the fact that the Kurosaki name wasn't known within Soul Society isn't strange, Isshin could've created a fake name or adopted the wife's last name instead, which isn't as uncommon in Japan This arc is definitely one of the best but it will have its ups and downs. Although it may be a little slow, this arc will have the most epic moments in anime history.

Miggie88

Yorichi was also a captain don't forget

James A

Just watch all of the filler for all of the anime you watch. I don't understand why you want to hurry up and have nothing to watch anymore. Who is skipping the filler benefitting? You're watching anime not reading manga. If you on only care about source material than just read manga.

Nate Sousa

I mean I read the manga it felt quite earned when I got to that chapter lol

Aaron williams

Im just thinking about when this show was airing live and we had to wat h all the way through to see this reveal. It was so hype. (Anime only tho I didn’t have the money as a kids to read manga consistently )

jordan

I completely forgot Isshin reveal was this early on. I swore it came a bit later. There was also a particular comment in that first episode that was...interesting...and I can't wait for them to find out at some point.

Marco

Nah fam. The fillers are bad…

GG420

The white cloak is actually more similar to a captains cloak than to a lieutnant

Alex

Grand Fisher wasn't a weak hollow though, it had been killing soul reapers for 50 years.

kidBuku

So did Uryu’s dad canonically dye his hair….

Alex

Filler characters show up one more time, then you'll be good finally.

Alex

You'll need to wait a good long while up get all the answers, but trust us it all makes sense after you piece it all together throughout the series

TaterThots

You're the only one buddy so skipping the filler is benefiting literally everyone else but you

Mike Jfrog

at this point i think 20-ish of the Shinigami you have met are "Captain level" or close? the original 13 captains, and like 3 other members of soul society who haven't gotten much of any screen time yet. Urahara, and Yoruichi were stated to be former captains of divisions 12 and 2 respectively then Ichigo (who fought toe to toe with Byakuya) and we can assume his Dad (the white coat Isshin has is a captain's cloak, Lieutenants only get an arm badge)

DillPickle

No, its canonically grey/white. I read somewhere that the animation studio messed up and made it brown early on.

kidBuku

Fun fact. In the English dub Ichigos dad voices different characters(that I know of) in the show. He voices both kenpachi and Isshin in the dub along with some other characters.

Alex

24:20 I don't think the term arancar has been revealed before, but in the episode at the end of the very first fight with the grand Fisher way back at the start of the series, there's a single moment that shows grand Fisher being operated on (to turn him into an arancar) by a hollow with a broken mask, that's the first arancar shown in the show. (Honestly can't remember if that was only in the manga or if it popped up in an end credits scene

DillPickle

Couldn't be happier that you are both loving Bleach so much. It's my favorite anime. Don't worry, all your questions will be answered by the time you catch up with the show. The main story of Bleach is truly an intricate masterpiece.

Satanas Gringo

Now u get why ichigo IS soo especial ,his father was captain level ,soo ichigo was always a special Guy

Jelli-san

I have been waiting for this moment since you both became convinced that it was Masaki that was a Soul Reaper! I figured your minds would be blown. You were so close, but, yeah, it’s his dad.

Dannyboy

bleach has the best ost of all time

Raden

You gotta wait a long time for everything to be revealed about the Kurosaki family 😂😂

kidBuku

That terminology that grand fisher used is conjecture. He’s bull shitting. Grand fisher is an idiot and doesn’t know anything about soul reapers or the soul society.

kidBuku

One beautiful thing about bleach is that all of these questions you have will be answered. And answered with care. There’s alot to look forward to.

Jagodina

Arrancar= spanish verb for tear/rip away. Alot of the hollow references are gonna be Spanish words, hence the Spanish guitar. Menos grande, garganta, arrancar etc

Alex

Also, baldy is just an insult here, he's not actually bald.

Dan Richa9097

enjoy the ride you two, it will be fun

PokeTheBear

Tite Kubo really enjoyed putting elements of other cultures in his work, Like Chad being Mexican, and Quincy's having German themes (Like Uryu's attack names) This arc has a lot of spanish music and naming themes. I'm sure people will point them out to you as things go on, but I really like the addition and inclusion in this anime. A lot of my latino friends growing up loved Bleach for this reason as well (And because it's just a good show lol)

Kayso

Ichigo’s dad being a soul reaper was a great reveal. Who would’ve known. At first we see a goofy dad and now we see a badass You know it’s real when that Spanish OST plays. Can’t wait till you guys hear a lot of Spanish osts also new osts overall since we’re in a new arc 🔥💃🎶

Kayso

Michelle 23:56-24:22 About the “Shinketsu” thing, this is the first time that term is revealed. It doesn’t mean you’re a noble. Just a true blood since Isshin (Ichigos dad) is a soul reaper. But your questions will be answered eventually Ron - Itachi VA actually voices Ukitake. Captain of squad 13 the one with the long white hair

Lady Kildragon

I do hope one of the streaming services reboots the early episodes of Bleach and cuts out the filler characters besides updating the graphics. Bleach is too good to left like this.

kkloyd

biggest reveal ever? No, not yet)

XXI

No Ron! wait until TYBW if you plan to get some art or tattoo! there are plenty more surprises😈

Kayso

Yeah and in the dub Ishida and Shino share the same VA. Idk if you seen Bleach dub

NATE

Yeah

NATE

And Hueco Mundo/Negacion

Soulrebel0902

Isshin in my top ten characters of the series. Besides being a Shonen goat pops, he’s a badass.

Surya

dad used less than 1% his power here😂

The CulturedGentleman

I have been asking myself why bleach is so heavily Spanish themed. Looked it up and this is what i found: In Bleach, the use of Spanish, particularly in the names and abilities of the Arrancar and Hollows, stems from the creator Tite Kubo's personal preference and aesthetic choices. He found the Spanish language to have a "mellow, bewitching sound" and felt it suited the mysterious and somewhat erotic nature of these characters according to Comic Book Resources, says Comic Book Resources, and CBR. Additionally, he assigned different languages to different factions in the series, with Spanish being the prominent language for the Arrancar and Hollows, while Soul Reapers are primarily Japanese, and the Quincies are German.

Brandocommando

Oh dude if that was a BIG reveal for them I can only imagine down the line

Spencer

Grand Fisher doesn't know anything about Ichigo's Mom. Before, he thought Ichigo just became a soul reaper, but now he know's the dad is a soul reaper, leading to the true blood remark. The mom is just regular lol nothing to do with grand fisher

Saith D. Uchiha

Michelle did you just expose you like and Ron likes a finger in his ass? XD 45:43 and play

lordjaggi

next few weeks should be good.

Tingz

Oh shit the Spanish music plays this early ? Yes so hype

Tingz

She calls Shinji baldy but he’s not really bald. It’s not a wig it’s his hair . Weird that they decide to make Hiyori constantly call him baldy but yea lol

taymone

your questions about Isshin will be revealed in due time 100%

ricoo

If you want to know what his dad is just look at his clothes it’s not that complicated

Mauricio Vidrio

Its not a spoiler but if you pay attention. The white robe from Isshin was a Captains robe.

AJ Lab

did they miss the fight between grand fisher and ichigo?

Jay rellim

question for chat below (ignore bc spoilers) Why didnt urahara tell isshin the truth about the vizards?

Pain_asdf

Waited for y’all to get to my favorite saga (not arc yes saga) now imma watch the journey with this series 💆🏿‍♂️

Wynter

Shinji isn’t bald, the blonde girl (Hiyori) just calls him baldy because of something that happened in their past. It’s just a funny gag I guess, nothing important lol

Emory Ligas

yeah the writers made a mistake when they included the filler arc characters for the first few episodes of the new canon arc. it makes the people who skipped the bount arc confused af about who they are. they dont show up again tho after this bit unfortunately

Emory Ligas

I remember way earlier you guys were guessing that Ichigos mom was a soul reaper or something... i was trying so hard to not to reveal this spoiler lol

Devron Love

So in this case, Grand Fisher saying Ichigo is a true blood just means that Ichigo has a Soul Reaper father. Not that both parents are Soul Reapers, you can make that guess but that’s not what Grand Fisher meant. Also Michelle is right, Grand Fisher is after Ichigo because Ichigo beat him before. When Ichigo’s dad shows up in his Soul Reaper attire, that is the captains white robe he is wearing signifying he is/was a captain.

Goodspot

Music this long arc with Hollows and aizen gets even better

Jay Mack

lol isshin sounds nothing like kenpachi

LuvStarburst

Hate to tell you guys but the answers are far away from this point on. Don't worry, though; your answers will be addressed way down the line.

Coopy

If you watched the show it gets explicitly explained later.

Coopy

It all gets explained that's all I will say. Too many spoilers for all those unanswered questions right now. Bleach always introduces things without explanation until much later. Like how you get marinated about Aizen being dead for all of season 1.

Pyke Your Poison

“He has daddy issues too” I fucking love Ron😭😭

LelouchFam

i think you guys are thinking of the term PURE BLOOD. True blood just means he has soul reaper blood, it didnt just come from Rukias power. He had it to begin with.

Niam

The reason why no one in the Soul Society commented or even mentioned Isshin's name to Ichigo is because no one there knows that Ichigo is his son. They know nothing about this connection, otherwise someone would have mentioned it at least once. (And no, this is NOT a spoiler/for all the clowns wanting to be morally right again 🙄). It's just basic common sense. No one in Soul Society knows anything about Ichigo except that he's a "special human" with Soul Reaper powers who was also trained by Urahara, someone they do actually know.

idkwhy

To be more precise, "hage" (ハゲ), which translates as "bald" is also used to just insult people in general, especially dumb or annoying people

idkwhy

Guys, it's not a wig :D "hage" (ハゲ), which they translated as "baldy" is also used to just insult people in general, especially dumb or annoying people

Niam

Guys, here are some facts: 1. Grand Fisher knows NOTHING about Ichigo. He just assumed he's a full fledged soul reaper because that's how he's always fought him in the human world. And so ofc, he knows nothing about Isshin, so don't take what he said TOO into account. 2. Shinji is not bald. Hiyori calling him "baldy" is just a gag. ✌🏽 3. The whole Isshin thing is going to take a long while to break down, but for now just take notice of the white robe hanging off his shinigami fit. That's one small hint regarding his background.

idkwhy

It's amusing to watch how you struggle to understand how everything works. I can assure you, the scheme is so complex that it is impossible to guess :D

Emil Kolev

Wait for more characters to be revealed and then think about a tattoo, trust me!

Akimitzu

I understand getting a Kenny tattoo this early but TRUST wait a little more...we are just scratching the surface with BLEACH, yall are going to get blown away with Kubos designs ALSO ! did you guys notice the half white cloak on Isshin Kurosakis shoulder? do you see what i see? ;)

Usher

The OSTs from here onwards are the reason bleach is number one in terms music

Usher

Unless "Kurosaki" is a very common last name, questening this is pretty valid tho

Arz.09

actually alot of them have heard the last name so the reason they dont know is something else that we cant say yet

Usher

Your naruto number one spot is gonna have the fight of its life lmao

W34KN35S

To each their own , I'll just say that I watched Bleach when it first came out and had no idea what fillers even were. I can say with full confidence , the fillers you skipped were the reason I stopped watching. Its been so long since Ive watched I actually thought the that filler arc was canon because I never bothered to pick it up again.

Peter Petrovic

Ryuken and Isshin pulling up is peeeeeeeeek. GOATS!

Kayso

It’s basically a love letter to the Spanish culture. It’s cool that Kubo did that because you don’t really see a lot of Spanish in other anime. German for Quincys is cool too it’s creative that he added different languages

Tingz

Yes seen bleach many times but somehow I missed it getting explaining 😂 I’m sure you talking about that certain arc. When we get there someone gonna have to point out n explain to me why she calls him baldy lol

Sammy

I'm so happy that you're fully hooked on Bleach 🥰 All your questions will get answered, don't worry 🤗

The CulturedGentleman

**SPOILER WARNING** Maybe he doesn’t know yet himself? Or maybe he wants them to train ichigo to use his Arrancar abilities?

The CulturedGentleman

Yeah they are gonna shit their pants 😂😂😂 Not that they are wearing pants Yohohoho 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I couldn’t help myself

The CulturedGentleman

True. I always thought the names were cool. Then TYBW just took things to a whole new level 😊 Kubo does tend to reich for the stars ⭐️

The CulturedGentleman

I agree. In terms of music, it’s definitely above Naruto and Onw piece. It’s the best

Chris Lennox

I love the big 3, and I love Naruto the most. But THIS EPISODE!? Is my favorite moment out of the 3. ISSHIN THE GOAT HAS ARRIVED 🙌🏾

The CulturedGentleman

At some point I really hope they get to listen to the dub version of these characters. Bleach dub is GOATED

Raheem Mcdermott

People can call it filler all they want i understand what filler is. My point is these characters bleed into cannon and it doesn't make sense. There are scenes far later on where the main villain in this bount arc shows up again in ichigos mind. Why are filler characters even relevant? Thats why I dont like the way "filler" bleeds into Canon. It doesn't make sense to me.

Dee

uhm...10...its 10 captains left....this is awkward hehe

Roberto Rojas

People like u just don’t know how to shut up

Karaka

What did he say wrong Roberto? There are 10 Captains left...Ron just forgot about the blind Captain

Niam

I deliberately didn't bring up the last name because that's an entire case in itself. Y'all should have refrained from saying anything !

Phyllis

In Japan, calling someone "baldy"(はげ, pronounced ha-gay) is a common insult, often used to express annoyance or anger.

Phyllis

Trueblood can mean a lot of things in Bleach. Nothing has been explained so continue with your theories anyhow.

Byakuran

your comment really necessary bro? I think your comment would apply here to you.

Andres

Someone probably already said it but arrancar is Spanish for “to tear/rip something off.”

DerozTY

i love how kubo shows displays of power with subtility. like that one time (45:00) when hirako outspeeds hiyori to stop her (when she wants to kill inoue and sado). it looks like a gag at first but if you watch it carefully you'll see it's NOT

Letan Vinso

Can't wait for the episode with Vegeta and Nappa coming down from above.

Kayso

Kinda reminds me when Gin took Kenpachi away from Byakuya when both of them were gonna fight lol

Kayso

"Number one" I see what you did there lol

britt m

Deadass... what is your problem???

Tingz

Can’t wait for more of the Spanish soundtracks

Spikerooo

I love this revelationwith dad, it's awesome, but tbh there are even better revelations in this show later on :D Also if u look closely Isshin wears a part of captains robe :) That tells us something about his past, as u would think that is not possible to just buy that robe :D

ApacheSlays

your questions will be answered enough to understand in bleach but they will be answered in detail in bleach: thousand year blood war

Miggie88

Can't imagine their reactions to tybw lol

Felipe

Bruh, I didn’t remember the character design was this rough in these episodes lmao

Chelsea

For Naruto: Itachi and Jushiro Ukitake ( long white haired captain) have the same VA. Renji and Choji have the same VA, Temari and Hitsugaya (child prodigy captain), Minato and Ichigo's Dad. Also in the beginning when Ichigo first fought byuakya he only got rid of Rukia's powers, neither of them at that point knew ichigo had his own soul reaper powers. But who knows if Ichigo would have eventually realized he had his own powers if he did not meet Rukia.

Felipe

That’s not how you pronounce it lol ha-gay would be ハゲイ.

G07DY

Believe me all new OST’s from this arc are peak. A lot different types of music. You’ll love them

Phyllis

It's meant to make it easier for English speakers to know how to pronounce the word. If you can explain it to them in a way that helps, go for it. I don't have any trouble pronouncing it correctly, but many people might read it wrong since they’re not familiar with the Japanese vowel sounds—A-I-U-E-O.

Masked Void

[Tidbits] - Kubo uses a narrative trick here that he often employs, he has Ryuken insult Uryu while also giving us direct information, yet because it was delivered as an insult the audience doesn't really pay mind to the information. So let's put it into perspective, Uryu who nearly killed a Captain did so with inexperienced Quincy powers, just imagine what his actual potential is. - The Isshin reveal is awesome because like most things in Bleach if you go back and pay attention you'll see the signs. - It's important to remember the context around what Isshin and Urahara discussed, they said the Isshin hasn't been a Soul Reaper for 20 years, 1. What does that mean and does any method exist that can make a soul reaper not be one for such an extended period of time? 2. What happened that caused him to not be a Shinigami (food for thought)

Wynter

Yes but there’s also a future filler, which I’m sure they won’t watch, of Shinji getting his hair shaved off by Hiyori and someone else. It grows back eventually since this was hundreds of years ago

지원

i hate school part lmao

Naos

I don't know if someone already told this or not but if you want, at the end of each episode, after the ending and "what will happen in the next episode" there are little thing called "Shinigami Golden", there are not long but funny to watch ! (that similar to what is done after the credit in Demon Slayer. xD) Is up to you if you two wanna watch them or no. (Normally that was starting at episode 53)

Karaka

I’m confused…why’s everyone angry at this Dee guy?

Erl Sweatpants

Ichigo: "im a soul reaper, not a visored!!" Kubo to the audience: lol who's gunna tell him

Izzy

This is definitely not a show that will give you all your answers right away, but that’s why the big reveals hit so hard! All your questions will for sure be answered in time just don’t get too impatient, let em cook on some of the big things, it’s totally worth it!

Roberto Rojas

He’s saying 10 is awkward because of his dad don’t defend him

Dee

Who?

InMyRealm1385

the mom must be human sense thats the only thing that would be unique about ichigo birth, plenty of soul society folk get together so thats nothing special, ichigo is clearly more then just some noble, he has almost limitless spiritual pressure as they keep hinting at, and the dad is clearly retired like the guy who runs the shop and the ninja lady/cat, hes settled in the human world and most likely took on a new last name to live privately with his family., he the only one out of the three who started a family in the human world it seems.

hunter zweig

The filler characters are there to help with the new info that is dropped nothing more im pretty sure they are not cannon

HeroSword P

In case you guys didn't know, Arrancar is spanish for "pull off/out"

wileykat

You guys ask lots of good questions, one thing I'll say is whenever the phrase "captain-level" is used it refers to captains and lieutenants (who are called 'assistant captains' in Japanese - this is how it's translated in the manga). Eg when Byakuya fought Ichigo, just before he turns hollow, the anime subtitles say: "Byakuya: You've defeated many captains to get to this point" but he actually said "you've defeated many captain-level soul reapers", because he beat Renji and dusted 3 lieutenants before fighting Byakuya

Antonio Auditore

Btw if you didnt notice, quincies are german, soulreapers are japanese and hollows are spanish in terms of the wording used

Castiel_01x

4:54 I mean Ryuken is a Quincy. He probably can guess why his son's spiritual pressure went missing. 16:00 Ichigo is holding on to the sheer hope that he is not a hollow here. Just imagine him having to accept the fact that he is a hollow when his mother was killed by one of them. It's a play on his past trauma.

andres rodriguez

Captain kutchiki did react to the last name kurozaki

Stephen Vaughn

lol Ichigo's dad sounds nothing like gravelly-ass Kenpachi

Zer0

Doubt it

Ilsuk Yang

The vizards (also spelled as "visoreds") have a very good reason for hating shinigami. Isshin is a very underrated character. Here, you see his true personality and that he's finally regained his shinigami powers after 20 years. Kubo planting those seeds again lol
