I think Urahara knew that the balance of the world needed the soul long as a keystone, same as ichibe. If that was lost, then the world was likely to collapse. Even if he didn’t know exactly what would happen, I think he figured the risk was too great. Thats why he looked into a way to disrupt the balance but decided to stop going that direction.

at first i was gonna ask "if Ichibei sealed his name in the past, how... or rather: when, did he get his name back?" but i think we know the answer. 9 years ago from start of series. although this would seem to suggest his name should've been audible to Ichigo, perhaps since OMZ is only a piece of Yuhabaha, he couldn't regain his name. he's not as powerful as the original, so he couldn't regain his name unlike the original. this makes a lot more sense than Ichibei erasing it in the future, somehow effecting himself in the past. 6:41 there are different translations of this scene. i've seen "human and..." & "shinigami and...". iirc, the anime chose "human and...". this makes more sense to me. up to this point, he didn't know much about his parents. he didn't know where his latent Shinigami powers came from. and i doubt Aizen would've wanted to let him in on the secret of his mother. so when his father shows up revealing himself to be a Shinigami, it confirms that his mother was indeed human.

The start of the SS arc introduced the Shiba clan, Rukia made a comment about ichigo's resemblance to kaien early on, ganju looks like his dad, kukaku looks like an adult karin, providing an early hint at ichigo's dad's origins and his soul reaper heritage.

Attack on titan has probably a hundred more, Some simple ones that come to mind are: * Two example of aforementioned Reiner Gang interactions: Reiner saying "let them gather" when annie asks him what they were going to do, Annie apologizing after killing Marco. * There's an Info screen saying the walls extended beneath the ground during the story of a miner. * Zeke Playing with the Ape toy before receiving the Beast titan. * Ksaver's Ram Titan is foreshadowed with a toy on the Shelf. * Jean calling Eren a suicidal bastard who will lead them all into hell, We know how that one turned out:). * When reiner catches Ymir being able to read the tin can, he knows what a herring is despite it being a salt water fish hinting that he has knowledge of the saltwater fishes and the sea. * Eren swearing he'll kill all the titans and in the end accomplishing that. * Annie slips on the ring when Armin approaches her, At this point, the viewer doesn't know what's going on with our gang. * Jean's Mother complex: Watch Reddrik's Jean video * Eren saying He'll burn down the entire world in s1 finale. (Anime only) * Bertlolt theorising that the person who commits suicide in the village wanted to be judged hinting at the reason why Reiner feels depressed. * Erwin holding back Levi from his squad and telling him he needs him to finish off the Beast Titan. * Pixis saying "Humanity will come together in the face of an existential threat to itself" and Eren becoming that. * Erwin asking Nile about his wife who lives in the walled city of wall rose, and tells him who gets to choose. * Floch explaining his reason why Erwin must be chosen "Only a Demon can destroy the titans and we need one", You know where he's going, you just know who the demon is. * Both the top fighters being named Ackerman with a third who's ultra capable.

Deep lore regarding 6:15 - when the chapter came out in the magazine, the line in Japanese was "a Shinigami and a-", which is the screencap used in this video and definitely hints at a reveal about Masaki. In the volumes, this was changed to "a human and a-", which makes it feel like he was just going to reveal Isshin's true identity. My guess is that Kubo regretted dropping such a large hint and decided to cover it up under the pretense of it being bad wording before the fans cracked the secret years before the proper payoff. Similarly, many fans immediately called that there was a connection between Zangetsu and Yhwach due to their designs, which is why Kubo doesn't bring it up until it's time for the reveal and then writes it as Ichigo being in denial about the similarity instead of being blindsided. Normal foreshadowing would have made it too clear. It's the kind of thing that can feel weird outside of the serialization.

9:03 *Over 1 million years ago, as that's the age of the seperation. Also, Yhwach is relatively young, as far as most of the older characters go. He's around 2,000+ years old, exacts aren't known, but he was definitely far younger than Yamamoto in that time period. Yamamoto created the Shinigami/Soul Reaper Academy 2,100 years before the start of the series. By then, he was already appearing as a middle-aged man, which implies he was perhaps multiple millenia old by this time. I've seen it estimated to be 6,000-ish years at the maximum, but it's all up to just guessing. Anyways, Yhwach is way too young to ever have relation to the events of 'The First Sin' itself, moreso just wanting to free his father from imprisonment _long_ after it happened. 8:05 *The connection here isn't to Aizen, it's to himself. Just like how Komamura's words to Tosen became reality for him, the same applies here. When Nemu's body is destroyed by Pernida, Mayuri for the first time in the series falls into shock and despair, at the loss of his creation. 'Szayelapporo' (aka, his conscious) comes to chastize him for this, mocking him for believing deep down that Nemu was a perfect being, because he created her. He even throws Mayuri's own words back in his face.

Great video, but I'm surprised you didn't mention the volume poems. Not only are they a cool addition and help highlight characters, some of them help understand the series better. For example, I think the poems from Volumes 5 and 8 foreshadows Ichigo's character arc for most of the series. Both conflate power with blades. Vol. 5's shows Ichigo's desire to protect others and his fear of his hollow throughout the story. Vol. 8's poem hints at the Vasto Lorde transformation, since Ichigo couldn't control his hollow so he had to fight Zangetsu later, and his pride was damaged by beating Ulquiorra that way, so he subsequently had trouble hollowfying. I think Volume 25's poem takes the cake, as it feels like it explains the series' themes best. "We are all Born dead. The end exists Before anything begins. If living Is a constant quest for awareness, The awareness we gain at the end is the real goal. In other words, death Is the discovery and complete understanding Of the end. We are not permitted to seek awareness. Those that cannot transcend death Will not find awareness in anything." The first stanza clearly illustrates the cycle of life and death Soul Reapers uphold. The second and third stanza conflate death and enlightenment, which makes sense, since the end of a person's life would likely be a moment of perfect clarity and reflection. But, also consider the fact that the Soul King, the God of the series, *is literally a corpse.* The final stanza sets it in stone by saying that by not transcending death, or rather, not accepting the inevitability of death, you won't be aware of anything; showing how Yhwach wanted to eliminate death but didn't realize that an endless existence wouldn't be as meaningful as a finite one, as Aizen explained in the final chapter. Anyways, I've gone on too long, once again great video.

I enjoy your approach and highlighting the fact that people don’t talk as much specifically about how well woven the foreshadowing of bleach is narratively and why it serves the story well. Personally I also enjoyed the part where you mentioned why Urahara made mod souls and with the logic of the bleach universe it makes logical sense to make an artificial substitute soul and infuse them with the hogyoku to replace the soul king. If you think about it, even though Kona’s fears are out paced now think about how strong mod souls are. They have very powerful bodily motor skills and increase the durability of any body they’re used on, which would be valuable traits for a body being strong enough to withstand housing the hogyoku without being torn apart. Maybe even the intended lack of emotion and being made for general subservience would be a perfect vessel for the hogyoku because they wouldn’t feel fear or other emotions the Hogyoku might reject. Another example of perhaps similar technology that lends further credence to the potential for how much stronger artificial souls could be would be Nemu who was created by mayuri. Nemu is depicted as very powerful through soul society, hueco Mindi and TYBW to the point she’s basically lieutenant level. Imagine if she or a captain level hypothetical artificial soul had the hogyoku. A strong Gigai, Mod Soul, and the Hogyoku is a pretty astute hypothesis for replacing the soul king and it’s just another reason why Urahara is that guy.

I think that Yhwach to some extent is also a victim of his circumstances. When Yhwach was born he was completely motionless. He was born with the ability to split his soul. Everyone who received a portion of Yhwach’s soul was said to feel whole again. Upon their death, the piece of his soul with the person’s knowledge, powers and feelings returned to him. Ever since his birth Yhwach is forced to feel the deaths of all the souls that return to him. All Yhwach seems to feel is sadness and sorrow. He’s incapable or ignorant of people who find peace or a happy life without his influence. So he came to the deranged conclusion that if he’d remove the concept of death invented by the soul reapers. He’d be finally at peace. In other words it would be quiet because people don’t die anymore. With all the powers he built up throughout the centuries, why wouldn’t he turn the world upside down. This why I always saw Yhwach as a consequence of the origin sin. A inevitable for of nature. Like out sun that will eventually burn out, swallow Merkur and Venus and turn our planet earth into a piece of coal. That’s the fate of all stars. Even if Ichigo and Aizen never set one foot into the seireitei. The Quincies would have wreaked the place one way or another.

However, BC foreshadowing rewards attentive viewers as to the nature of the massive war arc and the later introduction of devils, all of which are major plot points, and not just new characters or hidden relationships.
Attack on titan has probably a hundred more, Some simple ones that come to mind are: * Two example of aforementioned Reiner Gang interactions: Reiner saying "let them gather" when annie asks him what they were going to do, Annie apologizing after killing Marco. * There's an Info screen saying the walls extended beneath the ground during the story of a miner. * Zeke Playing with the Ape toy before receiving the Beast titan. * Ksaver's Ram Titan is foreshadowed with a toy on the Shelf. * Jean calling Eren a suicidal bastard who will lead them all into hell, We know how that one turned out:). * When reiner catches Ymir being able to read the tin can, he knows what a herring is despite it being a salt water fish hinting that he has knowledge of the saltwater fishes and the sea. * Eren swearing he'll kill all the titans and in the end accomplishing that. * Annie slips on the ring when Armin approaches her, At this point, the viewer doesn't know what's going on with our gang. * Jean's Mother complex: Watch Reddrik's Jean video * Eren saying He'll burn down the entire world in s1 finale. (Anime only) * Bertlolt theorising that the person who commits suicide in the village wanted to be judged hinting at the reason why Reiner feels depressed. * Erwin holding back Levi from his squad and telling him he needs him to finish off the Beast Titan. * Pixis saying "Humanity will come together in the face of an existential threat to itself" and Eren becoming that. * Erwin asking Nile about his wife who lives in the walled city of wall rose, and tells him who gets to choose. * Floch explaining his reason why Erwin must be chosen "Only a Demon can destroy the titans and we need one", You know where he's going, you just know who the demon is. * Both the top fighters being named Ackerman with a third who's ultra capable.
I mean, the Zeke one isn't much "foreshadowing" as we saw that pannel after we've already seen Zeke as the Beast Titan
You could argue say tge same for op and bleach , they ahve a lot more foreshadowings
Naruto saying he will become the hokage and at the end accomplishes it , foreshadowing right ?
One Piece holds a special spot because Oda been cooking for damn near years and he still not done connecting the dots for us Attack On Titan never gave you a chance to blink, and is truly something that will blow your mind and hook your attention. Also its probably the best first watch for people getting into anime
im going with one piece for.... reasons
Elaborate
Obvious reasons
@@DragonDCagoaltough i missed some major foreshadows here but tbh most of the stuff you OP fans call foreshadowing are just reaches and misconceptions
@@__Kumoreally? I find a vast majority of AOT’s ‘foreshadowing’ to be massive massive reach by you AOT fans. AOT is never good at foreshadowing, what it is good at is callbacks. I would argue Black Clover and Naruto has better actual foreshadowing than AOT
@@qwertyasd438you must mistake call backs and foreshadowing then.
141 views and no comments... damn.. this video feels like 100k views at least. Well made
You know in season 1 when he's in his inner world the boxes that fall are white boxes and has Asian zombie toe that's another one as well as a nap when he comes out

Banger video
Never heard anyone pronounced Ost like that before, cool vid
Deep lore regarding 6:15 - when the chapter came out in the magazine, the line in Japanese was "a Shinigami and a-", which is the screencap used in this video and definitely hints at a reveal about Masaki. In the volumes, this was changed to "a human and a-", which makes it feel like he was just going to reveal Isshin's true identity. My guess is that Kubo regretted dropping such a large hint and decided to cover it up under the pretense of it being bad wording before the fans cracked the secret years before the proper payoff. Similarly, many fans immediately called that there was a connection between Zangetsu and Yhwach due to their designs, which is why Kubo doesn't bring it up until it's time for the reveal and then writes it as Ichigo being in denial about the similarity instead of being blindsided. Normal foreshadowing would have made it too clear. It's the kind of thing that can feel weird outside of the serialization.
a lot of things get corrected in the volume release of the manga. i consider the chapter releases to be "previews" and the volume releases to be "official"
It’s rare to come across a channel that does bleach justice but you not having at least a million subscribers is out right criminal You have a really clean video format (granted you only have two videos) but it’s surprisingly good, i hope you continue on this path. Much love
I really appreciate the kind words brother , thanks ❤️
lol you have way too much faith in human beings mate. 🤣🤣🤣
Ichigo does go through slot of pain himself.But his sacrifice Cleary changes anybody that's around him long enough for the better.He is what his dad said about his mother.A sun that everything is drawn too.I guess most of the other characters fall under what you were saying.
WHAT IS OVERLOOKED?ANYBODY that watches and pays attention should understand these moments.Kubo is a good writer,and wants the viewer to think,but the hints are very easy to understand.
You will be surprised by the amount of people who think bleach lacks writing wise and i wanted to showcase some of the stuff that kubo threw around , now calm down buddy
what makes me really sad is that Bleach is such an amazing work of art, but the fanbase becoming slowly dumber by the day only ever bring up how strng their characters are
Tbh i hate powerscalers in general they barely make any sense
I tell everybody I know who asks about anime. If you want a manga/anime that doesn't try to hard on a first view but is hella enjoyable on multiple rewatchs....It's bleach. It makes you want more to be released when the series is over.
Fax i kept noticing new stuff everytime i revisited different animes ESPECIALLY bleach
Aizen didn't think that the Soul King wanted to be worshipped. Nice video though.
9:03 *Over 1 million years ago, as that's the age of the seperation. Also, Yhwach is relatively young, as far as most of the older characters go. He's around 2,000+ years old, exacts aren't known, but he was definitely far younger than Yamamoto in that time period. Yamamoto created the Shinigami/Soul Reaper Academy 2,100 years before the start of the series. By then, he was already appearing as a middle-aged man, which implies he was perhaps multiple millenia old by this time. I've seen it estimated to be 6,000-ish years at the maximum, but it's all up to just guessing. Anyways, Yhwach is way too young to ever have relation to the events of 'The First Sin' itself, moreso just wanting to free his father from imprisonment _long_ after it happened. 8:05 *The connection here isn't to Aizen, it's to himself. Just like how Komamura's words to Tosen became reality for him, the same applies here. When Nemu's body is destroyed by Pernida, Mayuri for the first time in the series falls into shock and despair, at the loss of his creation. 'Szayelapporo' (aka, his conscious) comes to chastize him for this, mocking him for believing deep down that Nemu was a perfect being, because he created her. He even throws Mayuri's own words back in his face.
Please, more bleach videos 👍 I just subscribed 👍
5:56 this was NOT in the manga
Nah this is canon trust
Yuha's name isn't muted in the anime (at least the English dub) it's just garbled, so distorted nothing can be made out.
Great video, but I'm surprised you didn't mention the volume poems. Not only are they a cool addition and help highlight characters, some of them help understand the series better. For example, I think the poems from Volumes 5 and 8 foreshadows Ichigo's character arc for most of the series. Both conflate power with blades. Vol. 5's shows Ichigo's desire to protect others and his fear of his hollow throughout the story. Vol. 8's poem hints at the Vasto Lorde transformation, since Ichigo couldn't control his hollow so he had to fight Zangetsu later, and his pride was damaged by beating Ulquiorra that way, so he subsequently had trouble hollowfying. I think Volume 25's poem takes the cake, as it feels like it explains the series' themes best. "We are all Born dead. The end exists Before anything begins. If living Is a constant quest for awareness, The awareness we gain at the end is the real goal. In other words, death Is the discovery and complete understanding Of the end. We are not permitted to seek awareness. Those that cannot transcend death Will not find awareness in anything." The first stanza clearly illustrates the cycle of life and death Soul Reapers uphold. The second and third stanza conflate death and enlightenment, which makes sense, since the end of a person's life would likely be a moment of perfect clarity and reflection. But, also consider the fact that the Soul King, the God of the series, *is literally a corpse.* The final stanza sets it in stone by saying that by not transcending death, or rather, not accepting the inevitability of death, you won't be aware of anything; showing how Yhwach wanted to eliminate death but didn't realize that an endless existence wouldn't be as meaningful as a finite one, as Aizen explained in the final chapter. Anyways, I've gone on too long, once again great video.
I am aware of the existince of the poems , but that would have made the video an hour long Probably gonna dedicate a whole video for them in the future Great analysis tho
@@__Kumo thanks, and would love to see it btw
"JJK peaked at Shibuya" is giving me some bs vibes like "Bleach peaked at Soul Society", sorry but i can't agree that shibuya was the best arc, CG is better
Culling games was NOT better than shibuya but i get your point , i am not saying it was bad but it was definitely a bit worse than the previous arcs especially story , building and character conclusion wise
Bleach after soul society had at least proper story and proper development of some characters and interesting narrative Jjk after shibuya started to feel like battle royale version of dbz
It really makes me happy when I see someone who understands the bleach lore so deeply , like you Keep going
great video dude, i always felt like bleaches world building and foreshadowing was really good and this reinforced that thought
only 51 subs? underrated asf have another sub bro keep it up man
love your video man love some good bleach lore vids read the manga like 20 times <3
6:04 that's why i want heian era flashbacks to give us more lore and also the merger should happen to bring kenjaku back. I do agree that deaths aren't done well in jjk exception being nanami and few others, also i think gojo's character and his conclusion was done well. Jjk has a lot of good ideas and concepts but lacks at execution not to memtion there is nearly no world building at all. I don't think jjk has fallen but it is not nearly as good in shibuya. I would argue that yuta taking over gojo was actual good writing. Overall i agree with a lot of your points. Keep up the good work, nice video
My favorite bit of foreshadowing is the first time we see ichigos bed it has the original quicy cross on it But none of us noticed til the final arc 😂
I know lmao
I always thought the bedsheet was made by ishida the same way he fixed kon's head with a quincy cross.
i agree with the bed sheet, altough my favorite is when kisuke tells rukia about quincy and i quote" quincy were humans with the ability to see and sense hollow, like ichigo can. soul society's when ichigo reiatsu took form of whites mask, while fighting kenny.
I enjoy your approach and highlighting the fact that people don’t talk as much specifically about how well woven the foreshadowing of bleach is narratively and why it serves the story well. Personally I also enjoyed the part where you mentioned why Urahara made mod souls and with the logic of the bleach universe it makes logical sense to make an artificial substitute soul and infuse them with the hogyoku to replace the soul king. If you think about it, even though Kona’s fears are out paced now think about how strong mod souls are. They have very powerful bodily motor skills and increase the durability of any body they’re used on, which would be valuable traits for a body being strong enough to withstand housing the hogyoku without being torn apart. Maybe even the intended lack of emotion and being made for general subservience would be a perfect vessel for the hogyoku because they wouldn’t feel fear or other emotions the Hogyoku might reject. Another example of perhaps similar technology that lends further credence to the potential for how much stronger artificial souls could be would be Nemu who was created by mayuri. Nemu is depicted as very powerful through soul society, hueco Mindi and TYBW to the point she’s basically lieutenant level. Imagine if she or a captain level hypothetical artificial soul had the hogyoku. A strong Gigai, Mod Soul, and the Hogyoku is a pretty astute hypothesis for replacing the soul king and it’s just another reason why Urahara is that guy.
I think the existence of hell is the unknown reason for the soul kings sacrifice
God i hope kubo continues this arc
No, the existence of hell is the main reason why soul king want to sacrifice himself
@@justwind6930 that’s what I was trying to say
@@zionsfutureseeslight so basically soul king afraid to kenpachi
@@justwind6930 lol
Urahara the final villain.
I think that Yhwach to some extent is also a victim of his circumstances. When Yhwach was born he was completely motionless. He was born with the ability to split his soul. Everyone who received a portion of Yhwach’s soul was said to feel whole again. Upon their death, the piece of his soul with the person’s knowledge, powers and feelings returned to him. Ever since his birth Yhwach is forced to feel the deaths of all the souls that return to him. All Yhwach seems to feel is sadness and sorrow. He’s incapable or ignorant of people who find peace or a happy life without his influence. So he came to the deranged conclusion that if he’d remove the concept of death invented by the soul reapers. He’d be finally at peace. In other words it would be quiet because people don’t die anymore. With all the powers he built up throughout the centuries, why wouldn’t he turn the world upside down. This why I always saw Yhwach as a consequence of the origin sin. A inevitable for of nature. Like out sun that will eventually burn out, swallow Merkur and Venus and turn our planet earth into a piece of coal. That’s the fate of all stars. Even if Ichigo and Aizen never set one foot into the seireitei. The Quincies would have wreaked the place one way or another.
I am glad somebody gets yhwachs character
@@Grayson-Winchester he is a victim? Not really He simply just like aizen. Is aizen a victim? I don't think so
@@justwind6930 I said to some extent he can be considered a victim of his circumstances because he’s been trying to destroy the world for a while now out of desperate necessity. But not someone you should feel sorry for.
This clears a lot of misconceptions about Bleach. Great video, man. Keep it up :)
Thanks man i really appreciate that
The video and title are pointless click bait.
