    Hello everyone! In today's video, we're taking a look at the endgame bosses of Bleach - one of, if not THE, most powerful villainous groups in the series, Yhwach's holiest defenders, the Schutzstaffel. Who's your favourite member of the group? Which of their fights is the best? Let me know!

      Oh I have a fun question!! Why isn't yuha a million years old? He's the son of the soul king so when reading it I assumed that he had challenged ichibe a million years prior lost, was made into a fetus and thrown to the ground. Then over the immense amount of time he rebuilt himself choosing the names of major religions to describe himself as his original name is truly gone.

      Gerard Valkyrie. The Miracle is a bogus, cheap, overpowered thing to ever exist in any anime in my book. It's the cheats of cheats and even utter obliteration can't stop The Miracle! xD
      That said, hopefully the Anime does give all 5 (including Uryu) some more in-depth background and story to give them that much more oomph then they already have. And their fight scenes are extended given they are the head honcho core group of villains of the TYBW arc.
      And PLEASE!!! PLEASE!! Give my dude Kira some finished extended story! It was tough a year-ish ago, let alone 10 years ago, that he was the first to be taken out. My favorite character, out just like that. T_T
      And then the Hell Arc has him back like some sort of rogue shinigami in the World of the Living or some shite, like what the hell man?!? xD lol

Gerald was beaten several times but his power literally just reconstructs his body with infinitely more power.

    I think Askin being called the “current era of warfare” refers not only to the nature of his powers, but his philosophy about battle and his attitude overall. Lille is a soldier, he’s on the ground with a gun, firing on the enemy, killing for his duty. Askin, however, is what you might call a “desk murderer”, he’s happy to eliminate the enemy indiscriminately, but he doesn’t want to get his hands dirty. He sees poisoning someone to death as different from finishing them with his bow, the same way drone strikes or forced starvation via sanctions are seen as being different from a ground invasion.

    I really love the unspoken context Lille comes with. Based on his appearance, unusual name (this goes for a lot of sternritter tbf) and Kyouraku commenting on how his culture must have similar children's games to his own, we can guess that Lille is probably from one of the Quincy clans once conquered by Yhwach. I really hope the anime expands on this a little, feels like there should be some interesting backstory there. On a sidenote, I've always loved how Kubo includes characters and concepts from all kinds of cultures and ethnic backgrounds without ever making it feel forced or stereotyping

    Out of the four, Lille is my favorite with Pernida being runner up. I love Lille's cowboy/sniper aesthetic and loved how anxiety inducing his powers and holy and angel forms were. His eldritch design was a little grinding at first since dude turned into a bird, which made no sense to me, but the design eventually grew on me. It helped that he had a good battle, plus at that time I think One Piece was in the Dressora arc where Bartolomeo got the nickname "Chicken Kun" (translation at that time), which then became my nickname for Lille lol.

    I wanted to play devil's advocate for why Askin was chosen for fighting against squad zero. While on the surface Askin does not appear to do much of anything, I would argue he slowed down Mayuri. He kept Mayrui from being able to enter the battlefield early in the second invasion. If he was able to enter the battle he could have saved several captain's lives and turn those battles around.
    Secondly, Askin kept all of his abilities hidden from the enemy. Therefore he is an unknown factor and his abilities do much more than the other remaining Sternritter which could have been chosen.
    Finally, consider how Ywach has chosen to fight this entire war. He has used every surprise tactic and then some. Every time it seems the soul society or one of its members starts to turn things around, Ywach finds the perfect countermeasure. If the enemy doesn't like the bankai, steal it. They found a way around bankai plundering, well defeat them with overwhelming force.
    Askin's fighting style and tactics embody how this war has been fought. It's not about honor, it's about winning.

      ​​@@gabnel1000I think that was largely due to plot in some cases. Nanao's zanpakuto was a perfect counter to someone like lille, gerard only died due to the auswhalen and it was the same with jugram, askin got killed from behind by grimmjow without even knowing he was there. Pernida I think is the only one who really got a "fair" death. Even if you don't think they were that impressive or imposing, there is no denying that each of them have some of the most broken and haxed abilities in the series. If it weren't for the plot, I think mayuri would have been the only one to come out alive in terms of the soul reapers

I do want some things to change for a couple of these fights in the anime going forward, because they aren't perfect

    I love the Schutzstaffel and think they are awesome! Lille is definetly my favorite one. Compared to many shonens, like One Piece, where the secondary antagonists turn out to be usually nothing more than goofy and foolish lackeys that lack power, I love how ludicrously overpowered the Schutzstaffel are, to the point they would be the main villains if Yhwach wasn't around, and as such, they give way more stakes to the arc/finale and serve as awesome and arduous obstacles for the others!
    They are truly endgame bosses.

    Barro had the best transformation. Reminded me of Tosen when he went full hollow. And I’m going to have to shut down that Soi Fon idea of using her to show off Askin’s power. It’s annoying enough that she can never really use it in big fights, but now she will fight two opponents in one arc that are basically immune to her power. She already got a crappy fight with BG9 and now she is going to get one shot by Askin? No thank you. I’d rather she just stay behind in the soul society and have a dedicated fight scene against the army of birds angel monsters. Show her really making use of her speed, Shunko, and Shikai. Just letting her go crazy because she deserves a good showing.

    I have a theory about Pernida: What if it's supposed to represent a pre-Christian god?
    Pernida is this very non-humanoid, sentient force of nature (In this case evolution and/or progression) that, along with Gerard, may have been Sternritter longer than Lille. Yes, Lille was the first to be given a Schrift, but Pernida and Gerard were never given Schrifts to begin with, they could both very well predate him in terms of how long they've been in the Wandenreich. Pernida feels ancient in a way that none of the others do. It feels like the sort of god one may hear about during the Neolithic period, before any sort of anthropomorthicization/humanization, like an Eldritch being that operates so far outside our world's paradigm that it seems alien in nature.

    @NeufAtora Před 7 měsíci +1

    I gotta say, that haircut looks good! I've honestly never really given much thought to the Schutzstaffel purely because they came at the end of the series, so I'd already become invested in a ton of characters by that point. The lack of backstories didn't help at all either, but their screen time props them up greatly. I've come to enjoy the Vandenreich a lot as a whole over numerous rereads, but my biggest issue with them all is that they're all practically immortal. The closest one to a typical human, Askin, somehow survives his own heart being torn out even if it's only for a little bit. Grimmjoww's frustration over Askin not dying is a sentiment I feel for all of them.
    It got pretty annoying how Kubo kept bringing them back to life when characters like Nanana and Shaz never even get a single fight, not to mention the number of Shinigami who really didn't get a chance to show off what they can do, namely Iba and Isane, who we've known for far longer. I like the Schutzstaffel, but I don't think I could ever enjoy them to the same degree as any other villainous group, though they might be tied with the Fullbringers.

      Black Ant probably gave them powers when they were still babies. As the narrator states, Royd and Loyd were twins that later on realized they were capable of copying other people. If they got that power in a very early age, it's highly plausible they didn't remember it and thought they had it since birth.
