What did you think of Ichibei's character in Bleach? What mysteries is he still hiding? Are you expecting anything new from him in the anime? And what's your favourite Ichibei moment overall? Let me know! Sorry for the absence everyone, but I thought we'd kickstart things again with a new Character Analysis - enjoy!
Glad you’re feeling better tommo
One of the things I find most intriguing about Ichibei is his mastery of the name. He possesses the ability to change the names of things, which can have profound consequences for their existence. For example, he can turn an opponent into a completely different object, or even erase them from existence altogether.
Ichibei is also a very powerful fighter. He is able to manipulate the very fabric of reality, and he can summon powerful creatures to aid him in battle. His fighting style is unpredictable and often humorous, but it is also incredibly effective.
Despite his immense power and knowledge, Ichibei remains a mysterious figure. He is often cryptic in his speech, and he rarely reveals his true motives. This adds to his mystique and makes him all the more intriguing.
I am very curious to see what Ichibei's role will be in the anime. I hope that we will learn more about his past and his connection to the Soul King. I am also hoping that we will see him unleash his full power in battle.
My favorite Ichibei moment is when he first appears in the story. He is confronted by a group of powerful Quincy, and he effortlessly defeats them with his mastery of the name. This scene perfectly demonstrates his immense power and his ability to control the battlefield.
And, Ichibei Hyosube is a complex and fascinating character who adds a great deal to the Bleach universe. I am looking forward to seeing more of him in the future.
He's hiding the fact of his hidden family relationship to Yamamoto. In my head fanon he's his uncle 😂
Just look at him! Am I to believe their similarities, looks and otherwise, are a coincidence?!
In the manga he was declared a special war potential for his wisdom. I would like to see that aspect fleshed out more. I also want to see how the got yhwach sealed at the end of the story.
One of my favourite moments has to be him slapping Yhwach about so he can think about what he's done
Ichimonji is one of the most creative zanpakuto that Kubo ever created. It's so meta while still feeling like it belongs in the Bleach universe, and I love it for that. Kubo went crazy depicting Ichimonji's abilities, and I don't know if there is another that tops it in that department
Indeed. It erases and creates, its symbolic given he's the manager of what is and isn't known in records/history.
Bro could erase you from history if he is in a bad mood 💀never to be reborn. Just… gone
@@princemafia5550do you think that ability would have worked on Aizen had they fought in the thousand year blood war?
@earlvaughan-williams3835 it depends. we know it does not work on pieces of the soul king, and we also know the hogyoku was made with a nail of the soul king that was in rangiku originally so it's possible that aizen would be immune to ichimonji however I feel like one of the others might be able to seal him or atleast challenge them with a bankai while ichibei plays support
How do we know Ichibei's naming abilities aren't some sort of psychological attack on the mind? It's not that he's erasing names from existence, but just makes the target forget names, or forget how strong they are. A pure attack that attacks the target's brain. Remember that Yhwach was covered in Ink and called "Black Ant", but everyone else still called him by his name. No one else forget Yhwach's name. Ichibei didn't erase names from all of existence.
Yamamoto has showed us the most destructive feats in Bleach, but Ichibei has showed us the darkest and greatest hax in the series.
The power of words and names it's such a brilliant feat in the animanga world.
Names, and naming conventions are just plainly things which make battle Shonen fun, cool, and distinctive; and Bleach just does names like no other. For a Bleach character to exhibit control over names in a series which does hax so beautifully is just perfect.
Ichibei has a cool ability, but I don't think he's the strongest in battle. All of Ichibei's abilities revolve around sealing enemy abilities, and they have a cool down.
Zaraki in the novels was stronger in combat than Ichibei since Zaraki was able to defeat strong hollows that Ichibei couldn't seal with his power.
Eh, I think Yhwach's and the Soul King's Almighty and Gremmy's V - The Visionary are better, more ridiculous hax, but Ichibē's power over names is definitely up there.
@@TheBigExclusive
When did Ichibē's name abilities require a cooldown?
@@infernousgaming1393 - When Ichibei reformed his body, and said he couldn't confront Yhwach again, and needed time to regain his powers. Then asked Ichigo to stop Yhwach.
"All that is black belongs to me." Might explain why shinigami wear black.
I always get a kick out of how incredibly insane and evil Kubo made Ichibei look at times. He's like a living embodiment of Soul Society's dark past and how a lot of the troubles they constantly face are a result of their sketchy antics.
Ichibei is one of my favorite characters in the series. He has a perspective unlike anyone else in the series. I hope we get more information about that extra flashback of him holding Reio's body in Cour 3/4.
I wish we get more than that, hope we get a view of the primordial world, how the reio came to be, his motivation for separating the world based on what he saw with his COMPLETE ALMIGHTY
Perhaps healing kido helps nullify the aging process. Considering how old man Yama always refuses healing, it would make sense, while other captains and squad members are consistently healed from battles. Perhaps Unohana, being the squad 4 captain, uses healing kido to minimize her aging.
Just an interesting thought experiment.
I actually quite like the idea the stress of leadership made Yama look so old - it actually happens look at any president or prime minister before and after their stint as leader
A throwaway joke in this video but does make sense lol
I like to think it has to do with mentality like he changed so much and it just ready to be done with things
Wow, I actually like that. That would make a lot of sense. Thanks for sharing. 🫱🏼🫲🏽
I absolutely love Ichibe as a character. He feels like he’s beyond the bleach story. The fact he’s a primordial being and his power over names and the ability to control all black in the word is truly an ability that puts him beyond regular characters. His role in the verse just makes him so interesting and like a character that knows almost everything concerning the history of the verse. Now in the anime we know he literally had absorbed and used the left arm of the soul king, like that is absolutely insane! Then of course we all know how much his character was developed in CFYOW which only elevated his character for the fans. I know we all like to cal him “evil”, but its not like he’s willing to do anything for the status quo, just like Kisuke and even Kyoruku.
Paint it black
ICHIMONJI
He is literally a xianxia character that somehow got into bleach verse and I love it
The novel isn't really canon. If it were canon, then Zaraki would be stronger than Ichibei since Zaraki defeated hollows that Ichibei couldn't in the novel.
@@TheBigExclusive it’s still canon. The power scaling is a bit off in the novels which the author has been know to do, especially with Zaraki.
Ichibe is indeed a fascinating and powerful character in the Bleach universe. His immense power and knowledge, combined with his mysterious and enigmatic personality, make him a truly intriguing figure.
Ichibe's mastery over names is one of his most intriguing abilities. The ability to manipulate the very essence of things, to change their names and thus their very nature, is a power that few can comprehend. This ability makes Ichibe a formidable opponent, able to turn even the most powerful enemies into something harmless.
His connection to the Soul King is also a source of great intrigue. As a primordial being, Ichibe has existed since before the Soul King himself, and his knowledge of the universe is vast and deep. This makes him a valuable source of information, and his insights into the Soul King's true nature are invaluable.
Ichibe's role in the Bleach universe is still largely unknown, but it is clear that he plays a pivotal role in the ongoing struggle between good and evil. His motivations are complex and often shrouded in mystery, but there is no doubt that he is a force to be reckoned with.
And, Ichibe is a complex and fascinating character who adds a great deal to the Bleach universe. His immense power and knowledge, combined with his mysterious personality, make him a truly intriguing figure. I am eager to learn more about him and his role in the story as the anime continues.
@TheBigExclusive
The books are canon. Kubo worked on them, provided all of the lore, supervised them, and approved them. I'm not sure why Kenpachi getting stronger in six months discredits that.
Also, that's not entirely true. Ichibe did, in fact, defeat Ikomikidomoe, alongside Oh-Etsu, which is also evident by Ikomikidomoe's true name being sealed away. (Though, you are still kind of right, as I'll explain in a second).
However, Kenpachi is still stronger than Ichibē in Bleach: Can't Fear Your Own World for a few different reasons. The first, main one is that Kenpachi is stated to be one of only three people to be able to fight Resurrección Hikone in a one-on-one fight (the other ones being Ichigo and an Aizen who is actually trying to win (Ginjo is also stated to be able to fight Hikone, but it was a "maybe")). The other is that Ikomikidomoe absorbed pieces of the Soul King from Hikone and regained his true name (the fragments broke Ichibē's seal), and Kenpachi felt like he should use his Shikai which he didn't against Hikone (that implies that Ikomikidomoe after absorbing fragments of the Soul King was stronger than Resurrección Hikone, even though Shikai, Eyepatch-less Kenpachi one-shot him).
I have a theory that Ichibei isn’t a shinigami but a being of creation and the shinigami modelled themselves from him!
Or he made them in his image…
Well each of the five royal guard have contribution to the soul society as a whole
Ichibe: names
Oetsu: zanpakuto
Senjumaru: shihakusho
Tenjiro: kaido
Kirio: soul candy
How do we know Ichibei's naming abilities aren't some sort of psychological attack on the mind? It's not that he's erasing names from existence, but just makes the target forget names, or forget how strong they are. A pure attack that attacks the target's brain.

@TheBigExclusive I really like your interpretation of his ability. It's a lot more down to earth and less "hax" but still allows it to function practically the same.
We may label him as evil but his fight with Yhwach was peak fiction.
Ichibei is someone who can be very happy but instantly get very angry.
I love how MrTommo originally said Yamamoto could defeat Ichibei in his earlier videos, but now is back pedaling so hard 😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂I love when the big name CZcamsrs do this. It shows growth.
Well to be fair, the anime shed more light on some stuffs so that helped the powerscaling more.
Yamabros in shambles. But he will always be badass to me
Yamamoto was holding back against yuha.His bankai also could destroy the soul society if he realise its full power,plus he was missin a arm.@@doncinati7644
He said Yamamoto COULD win he never said he would
I feel that Ichibei is more connected to both Ywach and Soul King directly than we know. It's a hunch, but the red hue eyes and black hair is very prominent in the storytelling of Bleach when considering prominent characters which is Ichigo's Mugestsu form, Ichibei Hyosube and Ywach Baha. All three featured the same red hue eyes and black hair, moreso for Ichibei and Ywach.
On top of that, both Ichibei and Ywach seems to have known each other for who knows how long, and as I don't want to make assumptions, but they honestly could be an "extension" of the Soul King. Both Ichibei and Ywach talk about the Soul King "fondly" to put it to words, they have their ideology about Soul King in their own way.
IMO, take the aspect of Ichigo's POV away as that's what Tite Kubo is telling the story from, it seems to me that both Ichibei and Ywach are fighting in a more or less sense of a "family feud" as one can take away from the anime's new scene of the meeting table. In terms of writing and how it's scaled, both the Almighty and Ichimonji are literally 4th wall abilities able to shape anything, something that I would assume the Soul King can and could do, and unfortunately, all of that is the greater evil that is trying to destroy our protagonist's loved ones.
Honestly, if we do get an adaptation of "Spirits are Forever With You" and "Can't Fear Your Own World" I hope Kubo alters and changes and/or adds on to Soul King's past and the origin of the Bleachverse, a very interesting prospect that could shed some light why TYBW arc was important that it HAD to happen on that storytelling arc.
People call ichibei evil for what he wanted to do to ichigo but i think ichigo is just as pragmatic as him as well as kisuke and shinsui because at the end of the day what ichigo wants more than anything is to protect his home and loved ones and if doing so means hes stripped of his freedom , atonomy and placed in a state of living death i think he would definitly do it
this
Have you ever covered the concept, or when it happens, of Ichigo's death? Like would he instantly hit soul society as a captain, would he go straight to the royal palace? It almost seems that while he's human, killing him for an opponent would actually make Ichigo stronger.
When he fights he lets out his soul though, his soul would likely die and be subject to the same rules as a dead captain + shinigami, and his body would either just lie there empty (or with kon) or die as well
Ichigo isn't human lol
He is most likely going to hell unless they don't change anything in hell arc
@@Mitke420yes extremelly powerfull beings after death in bleach universe goes to hell
Get your drinks and snacks boys, MrTommo has blessed us with another character analysis 🔥
My favorite Ichibe moment was definitely the flash back with him and Yhwach. I hope the next season we get one episode about the first 13 court guard squad or a flash back episode that shows Yhwach making his was to the world of the shinigami. I’m pretty sure the flash back in the anime took place on earth right? 🤔
No it was the „lichtreich“ where the Quincie lives
Ichibei is the biblical devil. I have no argument why, it just popped into my head.
I thought he'd be the final villain. Disappointed he wasn't.
I honestly wished he was given more battles in the series due to his uniqueness but its definitely hard to make it an actual battle Yuha vs Ichibei was essentially the battle of giving powers and taking powers of the name Yuha ironically is the only person is sorta capable of countering Ichibei
Maybe we will get more of him fighting in the hell arc. That’s the kubo’s chance to do it. Ichibei would be a big asset considering the dead captains will be far more powerful now.
How do we know Ichibei's naming abilities aren't some sort of psychological attack on the mind? It's not that he's erasing names from existence, but just makes the target forget names, or forget how strong they are. A pure attack that attacks the target's brain. Remember that Yhwach was covered in Ink and called "Black Ant", but everyone else still called him by his name. No one else forget Yhwach's name. Ichibei didn't erase names from all of existence.
Honestly given how much of sus Ichibe is I wouldn’t be surprised if he takes on the role of an antagonist.
In fact if the hell chapter continues after the recent anime, I feel he could go after Ichigo’s son given the latter’s strange connection with hell.
Like can you imagine Ichigo vs Ichibe it would be awesome. Plus give us a better idea of Ichigo’s true power and how strong he is after ten years. Maybe give us a true bankai, if the anime doesn’t do it first
Thank you!!! I was thinking the same damn thing. Kazui’s potential is even more than ichigo and Ichibei would definitely take advantage of that. This is the perfect chance for ichigo to learn how twisted Ichibei really is.
@@gammafrost wait does Kazui's have more potential than Ichigo, I don't think so, but he is kind of an anomaly at this point.
@@gammafrost Like he feels almost unnatural
ichigo vs ichibe would be boring even tybw ichigo slams that old dog neg to no diff adult ichigo on the other hand is literal god compared to tybw ichigo he regain his powers that stole by yhwach, he mastered all quincy-shinigami and hollow techniques and ichibe got neg diffed by base almighty yhwach and ichigo almost clashed equal with sk+auswahlen+almighty yhwach
Ichibei to me felt like the peak of Shinigami mastery. Just like Yhwach is the peak Quincy.
Ichibe is hands down one of my favourite characters in Bleach. He rivals Yamamoto in my top Bleach characters of all time
Aim glad 😊 squad 0 got a revamped slash reckon worthy of their reputation. I also hope they trained post TYBW - SAAWY pre hell arc. Also hope squad 0 members get fleshed slash better shine.
Speaking of, I believe that Ichibei may be the reason Ichigo lost his first fight with Yhwach.
Ichigo had some of this power taken by Ichibei to restore his body, but how much power.
Could that amount have prevented Ichigo’s true Bankai from being broken?
Ichigo wouldve lost anyway. Even current Ichigo still cant beat Yhwach
Yuha is simply too powerful for Ichigo if Yuha defeated Ichibei even Ichigo especially at that time can't do shit really
@@sparknazo Facts
@@Villainarc_Leo I don’t disagree that Ichigo still wouldn’t have won, though not before showing what the true Tensa Zangetsu can do.
Hopefully the anime will not make it such a c*cktease.
I would like to know how yamamoto founded the the gotei13 as well as the relationship between yamamoto and ichibei
I always wondered if the reason why Yhwach's sword is never given a name is because Ichimonji completely wiped it out of the manga when he hit it. Probably not, but it kinda makes sense given how meta Ichibe and his powers are.
How do we know Ichibei's naming abilities aren't some sort of psychological attack on the mind? It's not that he's erasing names from existence, but just makes the target forget names, or forget how strong they are. A pure attack that attacks the target's brain. Remember that Yhwach was covered in Ink and called "Black Ant", but everyone else still called him by his name. No one else forget Yhwach's name. Ichibei didn't erase names from all of existence.
I would say Yamamoto in bankai is stronger. For the reason that Ichibe's ink would just evaporate into powder. If Ichibe's shikai or bankai can't touch Yamamoto it's ability to change names can't do anything to him.
NO IT WON'T!!! Get it through your heads already, Ichibei>>Yama
His "Black" would absolutely reach Yama and remove his power.
Average yama fan with 1 brain cell:
Y’all out here thinking Ichibei’s ink is made of water and oil. His ink isn’t regular ink. It’s just “black”. Yamamoto’s black sword would work against him. The blackness left behind Yamamoto’s flame becomes Ichibei’s power. Yamamoto couldn’t even kill Royd and got one shotted by Yhwach who wasn’t using almighty.
@@EchoP7596 I mean the literal definition of ink includes the words "colored fluid" or "liquid" and I don't believe Bleach established a different meaning for ink in the context of Ichibei's Shikai or Bankai.
@@currytigreyes ichibei uses the ink from your pen in high school lmao😂. So you really expected abilities at such high levels to use literal inks 😂😂 I'm sure only a braindead Yamamoto fanboy would even think like that like WTF! Did you even watch the anime and see how the ink was applied? Did you see the speed and the reality warping effect the ability showed? WTF!?
FINALLY A NEW CHAR ANALYSIS! Thank you tommo. Got to be one of my favorite series on the channel.
Ichibei's power has no effect on Kenpachi since Kenpachi doesn't even use names to fight. He just cuts people.
Ichibei would cut his power by touching him literally that's what he does not just naming
@@jayzz1716 - But Kenpachi would just raise it again. That's Kenpachi's power.
@@TheBigExclusive he would cosplay all insects at that point which is automatic ggs or gets sealed only yhwach or maybe aizen can come back from that no one else
@@TheBigExclusive😂😂😂 this clown here again lmao 😂🤣
Chill down fanboy
Glad you're feeling better, keep making those vids as you are able, you're one of the best
Either ichibei was always loyal to the SK and the SK told him that his mutilation must be for things to get better. So he has always been loyal or he conspired against him
The soul king is stupid is seeing your son chopped up like you better let's be real he could do all the things he did without being chopped up
Thank you so very much for your content. Been a long time subscriber and just wanted to say thanks. your channel is incredible.
Great to see another character analysis, one of my favourite videos on the channel and can't wait for the next one
Ichibei is exactly as callous and unfeeling as you'd expect an almost timelessly ancient god to be. He doesn't really care about anything except maintaining the balance and everything around him exists for that purpose. It's a wonderful level of sociopathy that really adds a sinister edge to him.
King Tommo right on time. This my comic con character for next year and needed a breakdown. You the man.
In a way, Ichibe feels like an older brother to Ywach. He would represent the birth of Shinigami while Ywach would represent the birth of Quincy. I feel like this would make sense seeing as how The Soul King is a being that represents all races. It would also explain why Ichibe was willing to let Ywach build his Quincy army as detailed by the anime’s callback to their meeting; letting his younger sibling keep his playthings. It would also explain why their abilities seem so similar, yet operate on different planes and also tie in to why Ichibe was able to use The Soul King’s arm without fear of consequence.
Ichibei’s ability kind of reminds me of the fairies from SCP-4000. With the whole stealing names thing.
I don't know if anyone has ever pointed it out, but your thumbnail game is on point. 👍
He certainly is. In addition to his general powers and abilities, his power extends to what is officially known regarding the war in history. His rose tinted narrative has painted the war as innocently defensive with the King never dying along with Ichigo's role in those final hours erased. Those who know the truth find this repulsive and disingenuous with Yoruichi being the most disgusted. It shows where Soul Society originated and what is then maintained to keep it going.
I don't understand the Ichibe hate... it's based on a very shaky foundation no?
Would YOU let the universe(s)? Get destroyed just so you can *feel* good about not "killing" Ichigo?
I haven't read the mang so maybe I'm missing something but we need to #StopTheIchibeSlander
I have actually thought from the very beginning of Ichibe's introduction to the series that he stands for the author himself. It does make quite a lot of sense that Ichibe's power is over names and the names are the cornerstone of the whole series. If we take this theory as true, then it is interesting to see how Ichibe gets defeated just to be brought back to life later on in the series. A brilliant analysis, as always, thanks a lot!
I've said this on a previous vid, but assuming we ever get a continuation to the Hell chapter, I can definitely see Ichibei playing an antagonistic role, whether as a character who wants to maintain the status quo, even if it means letting evil happen, or in doing something more overtly evil.
"the most simple Bankai is often the most powerful."
Ikkaku : am I a joke to you?
Ikkaku doesn't train with his Bankai. He unlocked Bankai level 1 and didn't do anything else. So his Bankai still a "Baby Bankai".
Captain Unohana is going to haunt your dreams if you keep talking about her age.
My headcannon is that Ichibe is blackness of the Soul King's shadow and that would make him his son(that's why Ichibe and Ywach have black hair and red eyes)
Ichibei was great for me when reading the chapter for the first time. His power just demonstrated to me utterly why he was the zenith of the Soul Reapers and a Soul Reaper could never beat him. He literally was the lord of the name civilisation of Soul Reapers because he created it
*@Tommo* ⚔️
Ichibei being an extension of Kubo *never* crossed my mind. I honestly like that, regardless if it’s true or not. For some reason, Ichibei’s character never “clicked” with me. Don’t get me wrong, his character’s design and writing is great, but when it came to the Thousand-Year Blood War arc… Yhwach took the well deserved cake. Kubo did a *phenomenal* job, from beginning to end. The Sternritter’s attire, German structure/ranks, abilities, goals, and how they’re written is extremely awesome and perfectly executed. Sternritters were the perfect villains for this arc, Kubo truly did an amazing job at portraying them, they’re definitely going to be difficult to *TOP* once the “Hell arc” is eventually released. Off topic but, I really miss the Soul Society arc. I remember being so invested in the story, and looking forward to Saturday nights for the next episode when it aired on Adult Swim/Toonami. It’s a *50/50* emotional split when you’re looking back on those cherished memories back when you had absolutely no care in the world. 🗿
You sir did an excellent job on this video. They’re well written, edited, informative, and entertaining. Thanks buddy, I appreciate your content. 🫱🏼🫲🏽
I believe after he was revived by ichigo calling his name. He then decided to just sit back in the shadows or should I say darkness, and monitored the rest of the war as he slowly regained his strength and devise a contingency plan.
I definitely hope we see Ichibe more afterwards, maybe of him bringing back the rest of Squad 0 as like a post credit scene, 1 member per episode or like a 5 minute scene at the end of the season
Ichibē may not be the Soul King, but considering we don't currently know anything about how the King interacts with the Zero Division or rules, Ichibē might as well be the King.
Has someone ever think about Ichibe being a part of the soul king?
His power, the fact that he gave name to everything in Soul Society is something that the Reio would must be able to do, his connection with the concep of names.
Maybe Ichibe is the tongue of the Soul King? That would make him a much more interesting being, and would make sence why he could take control over other Soul King parts as Pernida, and why his name is out of his control, thats something maybe the Reio himself did before being completely seal, gave him that name, so even him cant do more that advice about the risk's.
Idk, what you guys think?
I would love to see aizen and ichibei have a conversation.

Now that we are at the exact middle point of the anime adaptation I think it would be cool to have a video where you go back to the 13 things you wanted from it and see which ones have been checked off or not
Hi, I love your analysies, may you do a video about Bleach cosmology please?
Watching Ichibe get bodied by someone even more broken was really satisfying.
It was probably the first and last time he ever tasted actual defeat. Ichibe is literally too OP to be beaten after The Almighty is off the table.
The antithesis is more powerful than ichimonji .
Therefore uryu A would easily counter him until he uses futen .
@@Leo-ee1is basicaly you're saying uryu is stronger than base yhwach
@@13.26yal first what does that have to do with what I said ? The antithesis is far above ichimonji.
Read your manga . While the antithesis can challenge Sk yhwach's powers , ichimonji couldn't even do the same with the A of yhwach base . Not to mention that the same yhwach said uryu has some kinda powers which exceed his own.
Ichimonji vs the antithesis = uryu will just reverse everything that ichimonji will do or even break it .

uryu A is definitely above yhwach lmao .

Ichibei: Ichigo Kurosaki, say my name
Ichigo: Bruh, i forgot 😢
You said they stopped aging because of the soul king's blessing (which is probably true), but given just how unfathomably old Ichibei seems to be, I'd offer a second possibility. In his fight with Ywach, when his "black" is stolen, his hair turns white, and his last ditch move "steals the black from the target's body until all that remains are bleached white bones". I have an idea that "black" is akin to time, as activating that attack requires stealing nights from Soul Society's future (you could claim it's a literal definition where there will be days where there's no darkness in SS, but given how dire the situation was and his unwillingness to use it except as a last resort, I'm pretty sure he shortened the lifespan of the entire soul society to fuel that attack).
I love how Ichibei trolled the king of bugs almost the entire fight.
How do we know Ichibei's naming abilities aren't some sort of psychological attack on the mind? It's not that he's erasing names from existence, but just makes the target forget names, or forget how strong they are. A pure attack that attacks the target's brain. Remember that Yhwach was covered in Ink and called "Black Ant", but everyone else still called him by his name. No one else forget Yhwach's name. Ichibei didn't erase names from all of existence.
Transcendence has not been forgotten by Kubo in the anime I hope. I always loved the characters who were transcendent. Ichibei is such an entity. Someone above Yama, early Aizen, the Sternritter.
Ichibei is above all except yhwach and the soul king
Yama whould fold ichibei lol,Yuhaba said the if yamamoto didint become softer he would be his biggest problem.Yamamoto became weaker with age
What does being transcendent do that someone who isn't transcendent do?
@truthspreader1996 you are basically in a level of power unimaginable by most other entities. Ichibei is transcendent with the full meaning of the word. Yamamoto, early Aizen etc were scratching the surface of transcendent but ichibei, with his mystical powers and massive spiritual pressure, is truly in a level of power of his own. He acts like the half-point to transcendence where below him is everyone else we ever knew of and above him a select few god tier individuals.
@@marshal8358 So in other words it's just a way of saying you're stronger than someone.
aye he’s back!
Ichibe is a truly fascinating character. He seems to value maintaining the status quo above everything, yet he is shown to be incredibly arrogant and dismissive of everything not directly involved with his duties.
And the utter glee he displays while robbing Yhwach of his very identity is incredibly unnerving, as is his casual stance towards the idea of turning Ichigo into the new Soul King.
His powers are some of the most creative in the series, and fits him really well, given his role as the ‘True’ leader of the Soul Reapers.
Your videos butter My biscuits thank you
This is the earliest I've been to an episode of THE LEGEND HIMSELF🔥🔥🔥🔥
He looks like the bad guy in Pinocchio who chews gold coins. 😆😆😆
The way I view Ichibei is that he’s not powerful in the martial sense. Rather, he’s possesses that primal power that shapes reality. He doesn’t fight, rather he passes judgement and rewrites reality to create your new fate.

MrTommo2304: Ichibei have the most terrifying death in Bleach.
Nemu: Oh, really? :D
When it finally dawned on me years ago that the Editing Brush in BBS was essentially Ichibei's zanpakuto....
The best stuff with Ichibe happens in CFYOW. They can indeed add those scenes, showing that Yhwach was made into the new SK for example. Would be nice to see those scenes from the novels that are contemporaneous to the manga explored more.
While Yamamoto seems like a heartless embodiment of Soul Society's law- he does have humanity- such as guilt for his dark past, feeling of remorse of lost comrades, and a willingness to change; Ichibe is the opposite, a cheerful and helpful on the surface but actually a staunch defender of the status quo with twisted ulterior motives of maintaining his immortality even if he has to replace God- showing he has no true loyalties than to himself.
Their powers are opposite as well- Yamamoto is fearsome with a dark side he reluctantly uses only in the most dire circumstances while Ichibe is simple yet truly vile- robbing others of their very being, reducing them to nothing with him being able to assign what he finds suitable for them- a symbol of the Shinigami's inherent corruption.

I wonder where he would rank in terms of power while he had Pernida as his left arm?
I'm so looking forward to his final move in the next cour!
17:12 unohana probably looks the same because she can just heal her aging or something like that
I think Ichibei is a very rich character and can do a lot for the Bleach universe in general. I wonder if they could do a sort of Turning Back the Pendulum arc but like a few chapters around the time of the original sin. So we can get an idea of how the original realm looked and how things changed. Because this would answer one big question thats been eating at me for a while. As much as Yhwach disliked the separation of realms, was he around for the original realm? Could he honestly truly say it was a bad change?
Yamamoto said he was the strongest Shinigami. Half the Royal Guards served under Yamamoto.
no. yamamoto said there is no shinagami born in the last 2000 years stronger than him. ichibe is a milion + year being. Ywach literally states ichbei is the strongest shingami in the manga. any of the royal guard are stronger than yamamoto.
These fanboys will come up with anything to defend yama fruad

I wanna say one thing about the shinigami and their look, as far as age goes. I think each shinigami’s physical age has very little to do with actual time and more to do with characterization. Otherwise why would chojiro look younger than Unohana? She basically looked exactly the same 1000 years ago. Meanwhile chojiro looked much younger then, but basically looks late middle aged to old at the current time. Of course shinigami still age a a significantly slower pace than humans. As toshiro still looks like a kid but at the very least we know him to be older than ichigo. Toshiro is always portrayed as someone lacking experience, easily tricked, and at certain points can give into emotions. Traits that are associated with the young or children. Yama is the old wise leader than everybody looks up to. He’s raised everybody in the soul society. He’s the general. His look reflects this. Unohana for a long time was the motherly figure. She healed you and you were scared enough of her even though you never seen her lay a hand on anybody. Until the final arc that is. Now the zero division can be different cuz they probably are eternally young. But I think that’s the best way to look at what age they look like.
MrTommo is really out of line saying his name so casually like this!
Aizen and Ichigo are Hybrids
I find hilarious and scary at the same time that mrtomo lost his voice making this video loll
Hey Mr.Tommo can you make a video about if Ichigo can be ichibe

@MrTommo2304 Did you think that maybe urahara sholde be invited to squad zero for invention of hogyoku? Or someone else ?
I hope to see all 4 Captain's Bankai of Squad Zero memebers especially for that Guy who's Sword will kill with only one hit and we didn't showed anyones Bankai except for Senjamaru Bankai which was just 🤯🤯🤯
It's possible ichibei removed the name sword from yhwach's sword. Not necessarily the sword's specific name. Thats just semantics though. being bleach its certain his sword did have its own name.
Ichibei is based off a bodhidharma the design is super similar to that, beard, beads and all. Senjumaru is also based off a buddhist deity thing with her six arms but i forget which.

22:20 - "In the world of Bleach, Names hold the most power."
No. In the world of bleach, whoever has the most spiritual pressure is the one that has the most power. If you have enough power, then you can cancel out enemy abilities just by flexing your energy.
That was quickly forgotten after FKT, in TYBW there were plenty of moments where higher spiritual pressure didn't mean shit
My favourite character in bleach, with a awesome ability.
Ichibei is DEFINITELY the strongest true Shinigami.
As Kenny is likely a Hell Being (reread hell chapter and look at the skeletons at the big gate compared to his Bankai), Ichigo is a hybrid and Aizen is transcendent.
Think he's from hell and his parents dropped him off 📴 slash slipped in the soul society.
There was a theory going around about Kenpachi. He was born in hell (bankai oni form) when he says he has no name you see a black stroke on the page, hinting at ichibei blacked it out.
One thing i hope Kubo somehow shows is that Ichibei saw Ichigo as a backup soul king battery if Soul King was killed by Yuha lol
I feel like it's more eerie if Ichibe didn't take any part in the mutilation of the Soul King. Like if it is just as he said, the Soul King let it happen, so Ichibe may have sat and watched - totally unaffected in the same weird sociopathic way Ichibe does everything with.
To be honest, I'm of the camp that I *DON'T* want to learn too much more about Osho. Not because it wouldn't be interesting to learn more about the oldest known character aside from the Soul King himself, but because there's some things we are not meant to know.
Just the little bit of curtain that's been peeled back has shown how much of an amoral monster he can be and that he's more an eldritch force of nature than a man. If we get to see everything behind the curtain, it might ruin the mystique and while it might help us completely understand the man, it may very well kill the monster.
It's very scary to think that Zangetsu couldn't tell Ichigo his true name in the beginning because Ichibei had painted over it with black and Ichigo couldn't hear it. Ichibei had crossed out Yhwach's name and so a part of his soul in someone els'es vessel couldn't tell that person his name. Now that is power, and it is terrifying.
How crazy would it be if Ichibei and Yhwach were brothers? In that they were both born of the Soul King. In the manga ichibei and Yhwach even have similar red colored eyes, and I can see resemblance in Ichibei's beard and Yhwach's hair. I can totally see the Soul King "birthing" the shinigami in response to the massive threat of hollows in ancient times. And I can also see Ichibei being the very first one. And after the Soul King is betrayed and torn apart (it took some more time since he was weakened) but he then"birthed" the Quincies in Yhwach in order to combat the new perceived threat of the Soul Reapers.
If you guys like Ichibei, I highly suggest Medaka Box. There's a whole arc near the end about people that use words for their powers. The last boss of the arc is literally a game of shiritori (sorry for the spoiler lol). It's not the same thing as Ichibei exactly, but it's just as creative, and shows what other powers Ichibei could have if he got more creative.
He has the best fight and the coolest shikai/bankai in the final arc.
forgive me if this is already explained, im a anime only not manga but im cool with spoilers. but the power Ichibei used asking Ichigo to ress him, aint that the same or similar as Mask De Masculine's power when James would call his name to get up and he could. maybe everyone's powers came from the soul king originally. from all worlds he helped create either way it looks like its gonna be a cool battle with a gruesome ending
Also enjoyed seeing Maki Maki in the show after all these years, was like a where Wally moment lol
16:56- The white hair anime look Yhwach bestowed upon him temporarily is the closest to seeing his true age.
Exactly, bounds of mysterious there because he gained his color back almost immediately to add to your point.
It’s not that complicated Unohana chose to use her kido to remain in her prime, so she could give Zaraki a real fight with everything she had instead of naturally declining overtime, and being unable to fulfill the promise of properly handing over the title of Kenpachi to him.
Hanataro from squad 4 also has a passive ability in it's sealed form
"Lamp oil, rope, bombs, you want it? it's yours my friend, as long as you have enough rubies."
Yeah it is so weird that he doesn't show up after his deafeat, like Kubo just forgot him somehow XD
I disagree with the sinister statement he’s one of the most balanced characters in the series negotiating to keep the balance and completely dominating when he’s pushed, great character
In this second cour they make the girl's (the one with a lot of arms) bankai seem more powerful than Ichibei's. They hype it more, maybe because it's a new addition, but they show the worlds trembling with her bankai something that they dont do with ichimonji. And the way they did his fight with Yhwach it's like they didn't want that fight to be the central one and as I didn't care that much about that I didn't give much thought. But in retrospective I don't know how to feel about that, I feel this guy's power should have been shown as terrifying as it is and not taking from him to hype the girl up.
Remember aizen to ichigo when he used fgt - still can’t feel anything
Just cos he didn’t shake everything doesn’t mean it’s downplayed, ichimonji wouldn’t seem so threatening if it made everything shake and fall apart - it’s how unassuming it is vs how terrible it is which is unnerving
@@nonope1715Hope their 🪨 heavily involved in the hell arc to a 👉 point where they have to use shikai and bankai individually.
In the fight with Yhwach, even though the Quincy King is a xenophobic killer of his own kind for more power, Ichibe somehow came across as the worse of the two- being patronizing to his enemy, willing to rob him of his identity, and shaping Soul Society to what it is.
I do feel he is an avatar to skunk, his power is black, ink, naming of things, everything that Kubo did.
The stress getting up Yamamoto 😅
