    Head captain Yamamoto is one of the most well respected characters not only within Bleach, but in all of Anime and Manga. In this video I go through all of his appearances within the manga including his battle with Ukitake and Shunsui, Aizen, Wonderweiss and Juha Bach. Yamamoto Genryusai left such a lasting impression on the different captains of the Gotei 13 like Komamura, Shunsui, Ukitake, Unohana and Kenpachi. During the Thousand Year Blood War arc we learn that Head Captain Yamamoto Genryusai had fought against Yhwach a thousand years ago. We learn about the demon that Yamamoto was forced to transform into, the Quincy threat returns and Yamamoto is forced to transform into this beast once more. In this video I go through all of his appearances, analysing his battles and his past. Lets find out why Yamamoto is one of the most well respected characters within BLEACH.

    Yamamoto's development was amazing throughout the story. The way he softens up throughout the series and his brutal end at a time in the story where everything was hopeless is all wonderfully poetic. My favorite moment of his is ordering the shinigami to pour their reiatsu into the sword that would give Ichigo his powers back. That moment solidifies the way he changed

      I mean, you say that he died like a true warrior, but it's funny that Yuha calls him out for dying in such a pathetic way (Yamamoto got escencially backstapped by the real Yuha Bach) because A. His emotions got the better of him. Because he lost his shit when fighting the fake yuha, he couldn't think clearly and B. He was too stuborn and arrogant to ask for the humans like Ichigo or Orihime some help or hell even Mayuri, who could've healed his arm.
      Even though Yamamoto is no doubt the strongest shinigami, his weakness is his arrogance and emotions, something trully poetic because he used to be the most ruthless and heartless killer in all of soul society history, and now died the way he did...

His West, East, and North aspects all use fire, but it's like Aizen: they're so hot and the spiritual pressure is so massive that it appears invisible to others unless he consciously bring it down to a level where others can feel and see it.

      Yama-ji s Bankai is one of the deal sealers of Bleach as a great shonen, great idea for his ability, phenomenal illustration when its activated, extremely intimidating and dangerous as hell. I don't like Yama-ji as a character as much as i fiercely love his bond with Komamura, Shunsui, Ukitake, and his dead serious respect he has for Azashiro. Yama-ji s powers and battles always convey a no-joke atmosphere wich i'm thankful it's available to witness whenever i want. His fight with false Yhwach is stellar. His explanation of Zanka No Tachi is frightening. His old stubborn self righteus demeanor isnt a turn off for me, but his behaviour isnt My cup of tea... Now, his personality at battle, it really sets the tone for the viewers, and demand respect, i feel. Such a crucial character.

      @nathaninostroza7655 Yamamoto rarely gets screen time and when he's on; you can feel that commanding presence of him. Him telling those quincies that there's no need for security because he's here is one of the coldest lines. You'd think he'd be in charge of Soul Society with the way he just dominates; which is a shame. If he was in charge rather than the nobility, things may have turned out differently. Probably not like Shunsui did but it probably would be more fitting of the Seireitei rather than the cesspool of politics.

    Every time someone fought Yamamoto they could not fight him head on because he was simply too powerful. They had to have a way to get around his bankai.
    Yamamoto is a relatively distant character in the series that is representative of the soul society, but a badass that could not win the battles he fought against the main villians. I feel like if I were to say that I wanted even more of his past than I already have, it'd almost be like saying I just want more history of the Soul Society.

    I went in with Yamamoto being an old, smug paper tiger with no redeeming qualities, but as the series went on- it becomes clear he’s not only badass, but a flawed man that was trying to redeem himself in rather convoluted means by becoming extremely by the book. It was genuinely a shame that he died just as he was starting to really become likable with an interesting backstory, but he’s truly disrespected by his enemy who does him in the worst way imaginable. It is pitiful that he was defeated and then forgotten about in the overall narrative for the sake of Ichigo’s revenge plot aside from Sajin and Kyoraku.

    My theory on the general shape/appearance of Zanka no Tachi is that when he first developed his Bankai it used to be compressed into the whole blade itself, but over the millennia, while improving his Bankai, compressed its whole power onto the tip of the blade, leaving the rest of the sword a charred vestige of what it used to look like. That's my thought at least.

      Хорошая теория, но не забывай, что сила занпакто заключается не в самом занпакто, а в Шинами. Когда асаучи дают Шинигами, он не имеет никакой силы, это просто оболочка, сасуд для силы, силы которая пробуждается в Шинигами. И после пробуждения Душа Шинигами, Душа силы Шинигами, частично переходит в асаучи, проявляя свою форму в виде меча, после чего, асаучи перестает существовать. Так как асаучи сасуд, а после пробуждения, и перемещения части души, души силы Шинигами, он уже не является асаучи, и если асаучи можно было сломать, до пробуждения силы Шинигами, то после пробуждения, это невозможно, так как это уже не асаучи, а сила Шинигами, а занпакто, это общий Термен которым в общем называют пробуждённую силу. Просто я это говорю, чтобы люди знали, что сила Шинигами не зависит от меча, и что она не была в самом мече, это сила Шинигами которая пробудилась в нем.

    Yamamoto was so strong and formidable that the enemies of the Soul Society literally planned their strategies around distracting the head captain and either stealing or sealing his power, instead of facing him in a head on fight... Even other "old master" characters from other shows, like Master Roshi or the 3rd Hokage, are eventually defeated or left behind by the powerscaling of the series (often in order to show off the main character's power), but Yamamoto never really was.
    To know your allies strength you must look to how your enemies treat them; Yamamoto was a beast of a warrior wielding power like a force of nature.

    my only regret on this character is that we haven seen him in an even fight, where he could demonstrate all of his power.

    He's a true legacy character of the series as a whole. Be it his somewhat moderating present self or the utterly ruthless past self, he has left a searing mark. As much as I hate to say this his death was a milestone that marked a transition for Gotei 13. Now with Shunsui at the reigns in the war's aftermath there has been a number of reforms that NEVER would've happened under Yamamoto's watch. Sure you can mark it as them being humbled by their chickens coming home to roost but in the end things needed to change with or without Yamamoto's input. Still old man Yama's badass legacy will be difficult to challenge.

    Even though he was probably the strongest shinigami in the whole Soul Society, but as a Captain General he is the worst leader you can have. He was so oblivious and ignorant to things that went around him. He couldn't foresee Aizen schemes and thanks to him he lost so many high ranking figures of Soul Society.
    The first Aizen's plot he lost: The Visored (4 Captains, 3 Adjutants, and 1 Assistant Commander of Kidou Corps), exiling 2 Captains and 1 Commander of Kidou Corps.
    The second Aizen's plot he lost: All of the Central 46 and 3 Captains defected including Aizen. (Not to mention that he almost executed the innocent Rukia along the way.)
    The third Aizen's scheme he stupidly (same goes for Urahara) not arranged special protection of Orihime despite her special abilities, branded her as a traitor which make things more difficult between Ichigo and Shinigami, thanks to that, Aizen could perfected Hougyoku to invade Karakura thus Yamamoto himself died because of it.
    For single conspiracy known in the manga during his time, he created the worst military and political blunder there was. It's perfectly fit with your nickname "Yamamoto Genryusai: THE BEAST", like the Beast itself; he was mad strong but mad obtuse too.

      Very much a case of 'good soldiers don't make always make good leaders'.
      He very much lacks any ability to critically think, and chastises Ukitake/Kyoraku for doing exactly that when they smell something fishy going on. I get what they're trying to do with Yamamoto. Its because he's so powerful that he feels the need to strictly follow the rules because if he starts turning them over on a whim, how can he expect everyone else to obey them. Elsewise it becomes a case of 'Do as I say, not as I do'.

    If he really killed everyone during the Fake Karakura Town battle, then the only captains and lieutenants remaining would be the ones in Hueco Mundo meaning Unohana, Isane, Mayuri, Nemu, Byakuya, Renji, Kenpachi and Yachiru.
    Only 4 captains and lieutenants remaining and no possible replacements. Even if we discard Wandenreich, Gotei 13 would be almost destroyed.
    Anyway I think that Yhwach killed Yama too easily. He basically crushed him without single scratch.
