¶ Introduction to Bleach Seasons 9-12
All right , continuing the Bleach's Dream Review with Seasons 9 , 10 , 11 , and 12 . And this time I'm going to be joined by Mira Jane . The Bleach's Dream Review is going to be covering the new Captain Shusuke Amagat arc , the Arrancar Bristachini Gami arc , the Past arc and arunkar feykar kura town art .
Uh , what I first do , let's go ahead and zone in on that . So season nine not gonna lie with these filler arcs and it's funny , mirajan , you should have been on for the other two parts .
Well , just specifically the first part , where talos was talking about how oh these fillers are are way better than the filler arts in naruto , and I'm like or at least he was saying like um , they're way more serious than the filler arcs in Naruto , and I was like , ah , actually re-watching this show , it's goofier than I remember .
Like you would think , even in the series arcs , like with the Ronkar arc and whatnot , you would think it's just all gas , no brakes , but nah , they get goofy in the middle of the fights .
And also they have these filler episodes where I'm like , hold the fuck on , like it's one thing with the filler arcs , but like at the end of the seasons they have like this two-part filler episode when it's like tacked on at the end to kind of be like , okay , gonna take a break and do like some random bullshit .
And I'm like , bro , I just just feel a little jarred because I'm sitting here looking at this episode , thinking or he may should be um captured by the iran car , like um being watched over by ukiyora , and then next thing you know , here she is back in school like nothing happened and I'm like what the fuck ?
And like they're like okay , yeah , go ahead and go to school for like two days and then come back bro , I'm not gonna lie to you .
I I agree with you . I got there because bleach has messed me up . Okay , bleach done . Oh my god , I literally okay . So
¶ Debate on Filler Arc Quality
first time I started watching bleach . This is the only time I'm going to refer to , like the past seasons . I first started watching bleach right , and I hadn't known . I knew about bleach , but I couldn't get into it until like the summer , and so I started binging it and I made it to a goddamn filler arc .
I did not know it was a filler arc yeah , I can do a lot of .
It's like anime exclusive listen , listen I . I didn't read manga at that time okay I , I understand .
I feel like people are yelling at me right now . It's fine . I didn't read manga at the time , okay , so I'm watching it .
And when I say I was so confused because I can't remember exactly which filler arc it was , but I think it was the bout arc oh , you mean the soul suckers , the stand users Bruh bruh , I literally was so confused Because I was like did they defeat Aizen already ? Like what ?
Nah , they literally were like , okay , now we're going to take a break , bruh . But yeah , you know , we just out that uh aizen was like this grand master planner and I'm like , oh , bro , mirajan , you should have been on when I did other parts where I was like it was aizen all along .
And I'm gonna be saying that in the season 11 because I'm like , bro , like , okay , it's the fact that uh urahara , he developed the giga , a special , different kind of giga , and essentially developed the hokyoku and all that , like he didn't really mean for it to be for nefarious purposes .
But I then was like I'm gonna look over your career with great interest and be like , all right , I'm gonna just copy your nose and try to make , um , uh , replicate the whole holification process so I can make the iran car and uh , uh , it's bought and all that . You know , all part of the grand master plan .
And , by the way , I'm gonna , um , make sure that you get blamed for it , yo , but , uh , hold on , hold on . But the fact of the matter is that with uh Aizen , like he straight up not only knew everything but planned for everything , and even up until like the part where , okay , they arrive into the fake Karakura town .
Uh , the rest of the uh squad captains pull up ready for him . And then he was like I knew y'all would do something like this .
I'm like bitch , like you , mother I just got my goddamn nurse , isaac . Isaac pissed me off every day . I could not wait for him to die . I was praying on his downfall . Okay , because , every goddard , step it away . I'm gonna flip the chess board on you . I know what you're gonna do .
Listen here , listen here , lay loose , shut up shut up , I don't get on my nerves I kind of agree with tell to the sense where I like eisen as a villain , like as a well-written villains , where I'm like , oh yeah , he's not only like um . I I don't know if he's exactly strong .
It's not before the Hogyoku , I don't know , I don't really know the scale with Bleach honestly , um . But the thing is he is not only fairly strong , you know , strong enough to be a captain , but the fact that he's smart enough to play 40 sets with just about everybody , like it was just crazy . And really I was right there with you to where .
My first time around this was back when Bleach was brand new to the States , like brand new , like we just heard of Bleach by then and I was trying to keep up with the plot when it was like on TV . But yeah , I got lost . Sometimes too , I wonder what the fuck is going on .
But I am so glad we're in the age of streaming services where I could just binge the whole shit if I wanted to . And now that I'm piecing together the plot more , I'm like the story is fairly good . I just hate that with these filler arcs and these filler episodes it kind of distracts itself .
Like it's kind of hard to kind of stay focused on what the main plot is when they kind of do these side tangents . But hey , to be fair , I don't blame them for having to shoehorn in that one , um , you know , with all the girls with the bathing suits and whatnot , I bet you don't . Somebody hold me back . I bet you don't .
Okay , all right , let's go ahead and get this out of the way . I hate Orihime , can't stand him . Can't stand him .
I just don't understand why .
You know why I hate Orihime ?
I actually know you can guess .
¶ Orihime Controversy and Nel's Character
Okay , you know what ? Orihime ? I just don't feel like she should have existed . And not only that , but she ruined the best relationship that was supposed to happen .
Don't tell me , you were like what about Ichigo and Rukia ? And I'm like I mean yeah . I thought so too , but then again I'm like that means that what would be like rukia just lives in the actually , yeah , that could have worked . Because I mean , no , hold on .
Because with the past art , we know that uh urahara got exiled from the soul society even though he wasn't really the cult well , he was developing , like working on it , but like he wasn't trying to make the visors into the visors , like that was aizen's doing . But you know , urahara got blamed for that .
And then yorichi the only reason why she got exiled was just to defend her friend , uh urahara so they were like living in the world of living for a hundred years . So I'm like it's not that it's not impossible yeah , it's not impossible for rukia to be like , hey , yo you know what , let me just live in the world , living .
I'm like , ain't like , I'm gonna age but no , we get . Goddamn orhime okay , to be fair , yes , I probably would have liked each girl with rukia better , but I thought you gonna say that , oh , don't tell me you gonna be one of those folks that saying that Orihime is useless . Hold on , wait a minute .
That power of hers is very useful , like but she's useless .
Yeah , I mean like her power , like okay , I mean hold on .
I can't really say that until I see thousand year blood war . I didn't see that yet , but uh , once I do , then I'll say like okay , yeah , to be fair , she , she fumbled her power . Yeah she fumbles her power in these episodes yeah , it's almost like she's undercooked right now , so like she barely even know what her full scope is .
So it's like okay , uh , I'll give you that much for now , mj , but until I see a thousand year blood war , I can't really say she fumbled yet . I just need to see what she does in this final leg of the story and then I'll be like okay to she bummed .
You are , or he may sympathize with Spock .
It's fine , I'm giving her a chance until I see the rest of these episodes , okay . I'm not going to catch judgment until I get caught up , okay , but you know who's not useless . Nell , oh , I fucking love now man I do too like she's funny at first . And oh , by the way , I was not expecting her voice , even in her adult form , to be like so soft .
It's like . It's kind of like that soft , delicate voice , is like almost like that asmr voice . I'm like , god damn , I can just like I don't know what it is , but I I just like now , especially her adult form , I'm like , yeah , she could get it in adult form .
Yeah , I'm like it is a damn shame that all nori tore it um , pretty much like nerfed her , uh , split her skull open and shit . I'm like that's what you look like when you're an adult . I'm like why can't we get more of that ?
I mean , we kind of do get more of that thousand year blood war , but uh , yeah , I'm just saying we do , we do , we do , and like no surprise , the crap out of me .
That was for me season 10 . I know we didn't talk about season 9 yet , but I mean , okay , hold on wait a minute , let me just go ahead and knock that out of the way new captain show up this princess type um chick from the soul society , um decided to um visit the world of living .
Uh , ichigo is thrown into the plot where , okay , this uh royal advisor guy is trying to abduct the princess for various purposes . There's a new weapon called the bakuto that's supposed to counter the zanpato . Uh , new captain thought that head captain murdered his father , but naturally , uh , his father was possessed by the bakuto and it's all a misunderstanding .
Uh , he realized oh shit , I fucked up . I'm a misunderstood situation . I'm gonna go ahead and end myself done .
¶ Season 9: New Captain Shusuke Arc
That's season nine . Yeah .
That's season 9 . Yeah , that's season 9 .
Yeah , yeah , yeah , anything you want to add on to that Mirajane Anything I mean it was a filler , All right . Well , there you go .
Season 10 .
That sounded so hard . I mean , I even even said in the first two parts , I'm like I do not care for these fillers , honestly , like okay , they're not bad . I'm not saying they're terrible , it just they all right .
You know self-contained stories where I'm like it doesn't really advance the plot per se , maybe like it gives little callbacks in the filler episodes , like later on , or maybe like mentions in the main episodes , but even then it's like and it doesn't really move the plot that much outside from okay , it was something for them to do until you know the anime , um ,
get enough distance away from the manga , because sometimes it be like that when anime and manga is too close together . That's why , with One Piece , sometimes the manga gotta take on hiatus but the anime still going . Meanwhile , the anime might go on hiatus but the manga still going . You gotta have that gap so that way more episodes can be produced .
You don't want to be like Game of Thrones , where you're like you're just making shit up at the last minute because oh , oh , shit , no more books , we gotta have to make shit up , and then look what happened with the last season . So , give them space , give them time . I get it , but why , though .
With these filler episodes specifically , I'm like the way you placed them , though I would understand if it was a clean break from one arc , but you just like slapped me right in . I'm still mad that straight up in the middle of a fight they were like quarter open . Hey yo , something's going on in the world . We gotta go take care of it .
They're like side quest . We'll be right back . Bro , bro , I could not believe that I would understand if it was like , okay , they just got through , but no , mid fight , no , we gotta take care of something real quick no , okay , you know what .
I do have something to say about season nine . How in the world is the goddamn villain ends up killing him , goddamn ? So we went through all of that .
It was 22 episodes well , think , no , no , think about like this . It was think of eternals with how , um , what's his face ? Uh , yeah , I forgot it , chris , was it ? No ? Um , you know the one who flew too close to the line yeah that guy yeah , um , he was like oh man , I feel bad for what I did .
It was all a misunderstanding and alright , I'm just gonna go ahead and off myself , because I just feel bad about it . I get it , I get it but it's my pride , you know , I'm like okay , bro .
I get it but .
I mean you could sit around like it's gonna be water under the bridge and like you killed anybody yet . So I'm like like I .
Just it was all a misunderstanding , right , and I'm not gonna lie though . Uh , shusuke was kind of cool . I did enjoy him .
I didn't expect him to be the bad guy , the secret bad guy . That was my problem . I was like man , he seems so cool and then nothing in awe , god damn right and I did .
I like that part . But then at the same time I was like man , he seems so cool , I'm like nothing at all , god damn Right . And I like that part . But then at the same time I was like dang , but now he gotta kill himself .
So I just , oh shit , Well , it is a self-contained filler art . So it's like , oh well , we can't have this new captain , when it was supposed to be a filler art .
so that's true , that's true . That's true . He's gotta go away . It makes sense . But I got it . I got it .
It was just kind of cool in concept , though .
It was a good concept . I just think . I just think that I wish he could have been put in jail .
Yeah , like . You know , oh yeah , we got to lock him up and like , yeah , you're not going to see him for a very long time . We might re-release him during , like another fill of art , but outside of that , no .
You're not going to see him . You know what I mean . I think that would have been . Look at her trying to rewrite the script I mean we're not rewriting the manga . So I think we're good .
But hey , real quick . Season 10 had , dare I say , my favorite combination of both opening and ending theme songs . Yeah , I like Aquatons , especially when they did the sixth one . What was it Alone ? You know the one that goes oh that one , yeah , I like that one for sure .
But then like volanica too , I was like , oh man , this guy , uh , some kind of style to it .
You know , that's what I like about bleach is like say whatever you will , but we definitely have an aesthetic or styles like it's definitely unique in its own ways , like the characters have drift , uh , character design like um , the facial features and whatnot definitely have some attention to detail , very visually appealing and whatnot .
I just kind of wish the fights were I don't know . I wish some of the fights were like a little bit more fluid , like more action packed . You know like kind of the fight , you know like with the sword swinging , whatnot , kind of like you can feel the weight of the attack to whatnot .
Like you know , it kind of reminds me of all hitman reborn all over again to where , like it's a really good anime . But if the fight scene really felt more like fight scenes , then people would love that more , like see , that's what ? Demon slayer as much .
I kind of hate to say because I still like demon slayer but it's still shiny keys the anime to me at least with demon slayer though , it's so visually appealing it's like even if you say that the story is mid visually with the fights . It's like it had you locked in . You actually want to see how things played out .
So that's why , with bleach and hitman reborn , I feel like if the fights had a little more tension going on , if it didn't feel more telegraphed in a way , then yeah , they do leave a lot of room like it's like they're letting the fight breathe , but we don't need the fight to breathe and at the same time .
It's one thing when naruto does it in his own show , but half the time it feels like these characters are doing a whole lot of talkutsu in middle fight . So I'm like I kind of want to see somebody like just standing on business , none of that Talk , no Jutsu .
Just you know , just straight sword swinging , like either sword swinging , keto , blast something , and like y'all need to cut it out with all this blah , blah , blah every episode before you actually like do a couple of swings and misses and you wanna show off your bankai and shit . And then more blah , blah , blah , yap , yap , yap .
I'm like my god dog .
I still love this anime , but god damn . I like we said many times before on this podcast , even if you love something , it is okay to criticize it , and even if you hate the shit out of something , to be fair , I'll give it credit for what it does , right .
Yeah , you have to give credit where credit is due .
But season 10 , this is where , okay , you essentially have Ichigo and the gang trying to rescue Orihime , of course , but of course , the other , some of the other squad captains show up like Kenpachi , Unohana , uh , fuck , some of them escapingohana , fuck , someone's escaping me already , byakuya , and I can't think of one person . Oh , yeah , kurosuchi .
They show up to Hueco Mundo to help out with the whole fight and all that . And I want to say , for the most part , the fights , they were okay , you know , all right . Uh , mainly the main one , for me at least in this season , was uh nori tora versus , no for sure , I would say um Zylox bro versus Um Uriu .
Oh , by the way , can we talk about Uriu real quick ? How like Uh , say what you will about him . I do like his techniques , though
¶ Season 10: Rescue Orihime Mission
it definitely Got style , going on to where I especially like um sometimes , where He'll um Pull out these bladed weapons , and Even uh fought that one Bitch , um , that one moth looking bitch , and she would like , he would like .
By the way , I never said they were swords , it was just bladed weapons and he actually shot her with all that fucking blade and also , uh , with zahar bro .
Uh , he had like this hexagonal pattern going on to where , like he just dropped that little bit , drop a racey down on the ground and I was like Hell yeah , when it comes to technique , uriu definitely Got that sauce .
Yeah , uriu , I ain't gonna lie , uriu made .
You know the he made me like .
He made you like glasses wearing dudes yeah he was the reason girls became attracted to anime dudes with glasses . He switched the game up cause he has . Even though he's quiet , even though he's kind of a stick in the mud , he got swag , especially when he's quiet . Even though he's kind of a stick in the mud , he got swag , especially when he's fighting .
He's so creative . He gonna survive . First of all , one thing he gonna do is he gonna figure out how he gonna live and he gonna kill you . I think that's the difference . I agree with you . That fight was really awesome . That was a really awesome fight .
Honestly , I want to see Chad have more potential Because , you know , he got the left-right going on for him and I kind of like him as a character .
You know , like he's Essentially he got hollow powers , but I like to think of him as the hollow with a heart because even though , yeah , he has those hollow powers , he's actually like a solid dude , like you know , a gentle giant , so to speak .
Mm-hmm , mm-hmm , mm-hmm .
Who else ? Nils Fraksjön . You know those other two guys ? Uh , what was the name ? What was the name ? Well , it doesn't matter . Uh , they were kind of annoying at first , but once you realize the backstory between behind our nail , those other two , uh , it was don chica . And what was the other guy's name ? I forgot already .
Uh , you know the guy that looked like a dung beetle , I hate to say it , but yeah uh , once you um realized their backstory and why they were like following around now , it was like oh shit , okay , I kind of understand now uh , pesci , that was his name oh yeah , pesci , pesci , yeah , okay , pesci , kind that was his name .
Oh yeah , pesci , yeah , okay , pesci , kind of got on my nerves .
Yeah , because he can Come on dog really .
He kind of got on my nerves , but the loyalty that they had to Nell was absolutely . It was really sweet and it makes so much sense the fight between Byakuya and that seventh Orankor on Zomari . I guess it's alright what were your thoughts ?
that was the thing it was like . I guess it's not right . Warrior thought that was the thing . It was mainly Noritoro versus Ichigo and Nel . That was the headliner fight for this season . Not saying that the other ones were bad .
It's more like that fight definitely overshadowed all the others when it came down to stakes and shit , because it was looking kind of bad for both Ichigo and Nel . But then things turned around when Kenpachi showed up , so that was like the main fight for season 10 .
That's true , and anytime Kenpachi shows up , we know what they're thinking about .
I still geeking about how the fact that keep in mind he was swinging with one arm the whole time but then he was like , okay , I see you're one of those strong guys . So , even though I don't like doing it , but head captain insisted , alright , so check this out . You know how in Kendall , right , Mm this out .
You know how in Kendo , right , you hold the sword with both hands because you're stronger with both hands , right .
And .
Tori . Tori was like no duh , like what are you trying to say ? And I'm like you notice how it's only to me that you have one arm right and I'm like you notice how I was going to use one arm right . So he was like okay , let me just get serious and hold it with two hands .
And then I , oh shit crazy to me that Kenpachi was just like . I just need my other hand , if you think I'm need my other hand .
If you think I'm throwing with one hand , imagine what I can do with two hands .
First of all , can we talk about how Kenpachi just never . He never pulls out his bankai because he doesn't even know his bankai from his whole entire season , the whole entirety of Bleach . Kenpachi is just strong with two hands .
Yeah , that's kind of the thing that I like about him is where the fact that he's so strong that he doesn't need a Bankai that just makes him more interesting , especially the fact that with his eye patch , like the thing is , it's not that he even lost an eye , it's more like it's a seal to uh keep his spiritual pressure in check .
Because once he moves that eye patch , you see that um yellow beast type aura showing up and that's when you tell he's getting real serious , like he usually don't get that serious since he fought Ichigo . That's why he kind of has that metaphorical boner for Ichigo . I'm like I need you alive , boy , so that way we can fight . I can't have you dying out here .
You didn't fight me yet . You didn't fight me for real yet . I need you .
I need you to live .
Yeah , but that was pretty much season 10 for me . You have anything else to add on to season 10 ?
No , no , no .
¶ Impressive Fights and Character Abilities
Got you Season 11, . I pretty much already explained it , but , honestly , this is one of the filler episodes that I actually genuinely like because , to be fair , this is actually canonical . Like we had to know this either way yes , and it didn't feel .
This didn't feel like a filler episode , so it wasn't even that long yeah , it didn't feel like a filler arc , and not to mention how long were we wondering okay , what is your heart deal ?
yeah , like how , how does he know all this shit ? Uh , how you know about soul reapers and whatnot ? Turns out that he was not only one he . He made all the way up to captain Aizen was um Shinji's , um lieutenant .
Yeah .
In fact , mayuri . Mayuri was um fuckin' Urahara's um second in command until Urahara got exiled , and then that's how Mayuri ended up getting into 12th Division , um captain with um research and whatnot . Urahara paved the road for Mayuri to walk down it .
Facts , facts .
It just so wild . That's why I'm saying between Urahara and Aizen it was them , all along it was , and but then you know what else ?
too , Urahara and Aizen , it was them all along it was . And . But then you know what else too ? Urahara was also a genius .
Oh yeah , like see , he was one of those low-key genes where he back in the day , honestly he was one of those main examples of born to dilly-dally .
Yeah , born to dillyilly dally , yeah , yeah , born to dilly dally yeah .
Because you know he was such a goofball . But at the same time he's an assassin from the Keto Corps , so I'm like the fuck .
But he was born . Sure deal boy and you know , I think that's why I'm , like it , always kind of feel like Mayuri hates him , because of that Because he has this like Mayuri's also extremely intelligent , obviously , but it's like he didn't have the ability to chill .
It's like he was hating on Orr Howard the whole time , Like how come this nigga know how to chill and be smart .
Now let me say that on the biggest here I hate the way you talk . I hate the way you talk .
I hate that you so smart , oh my God .
And not only that , but or hard was doing something that I don't think I think my yuri could have never , ever figured out making a geek guy .
That can't be , yeah , society yeah , I don't think and I honestly , truly think that I think Mayuri continues to chase that , even after it's almost like that Vegeta mentality to where I'm like I consider you a rival .
I'm like I'm only hating on you because I'm trying to surpass you .
Yeah , and I think once he surpasses him , quote , unquote um , if he does surpass him , whatever , then it's . I don't think he really can , though you can't , I don't think he's not , I don't think so , but that season 11 was , was worth it . It was worth it for it to be . Uh , I don't even consider it filler . You're right , it's not even filler .
It's a part of the story that we needed to know , all of you , it was like fairy tale zero to where , even though it was late into the series , it was like to be fair , we had to . We had to know eventually , like what the hell going on ? Like how did all this even happen ? You know what I mean .
Facts , honestly , in Fairchild , season zero dropped at a perfect time . In Fairytale , yeah , it was a perfect drop . Like this was a perfect drop , it happened . Season 11 was a perfect nice seven episodes . We understand everything now at this point . And now let's continue .
let's go to season four and we also know why the visors wanted to help Ichigo take down Aizen , because Aizen's the reason why they are visors yeah , and Urahara has been working on how to change them back to normal . Yeah , goddamn , so many
¶ Season 11: The Past Arc Revelations
layers to this shit .
Like , see , I thought from this point on I thought with Naraku , the way he was fucking around with the love life of Inuyasha and Kikyo , the way he pretty much brainwashed Kohaku and um Sango made it her whole mission to try to um and Kikyo , the way he pretty much brainwashed Kohaku and um Sango making it her whole mission to try to um , get Kohaku away
from him , and all that shit . Like you think that with Naraka he was um like this master planner , um fucking with the lives of everybody else ? No , no , no . I dare say he got he been dethroned by Aizen because Aizen's influence Ran so deep . It was like Masterclass , honestly .
It really was it . It really Truly was Because Aizen , not only low-key , manipulated his way to becoming a captain .
And actually the crazy part is , even though he manipulated his way to becoming a captain in reality it's more like with Shinji he chose Aizen to be his lieutenant because he knew that Aizen was tailing him like spying on him and shit . But Aizen was like oh well , I wanted you to .
I mean , to be fair , I could have declined being your lieutenant even though that was a rare occasion I could decline . But you know what ? I wanted you to pick me . I want you to keep me close , because that's the best way to fool you , while the whole time y'all had this fake Aizen tailing you .
Meanwhile , the real me was working in the shadows trying to set things up .
Mm-hmm , mm-hmm .
Crazy .
Aizen is crazy . Aizen is absolutely insane . And Gein , oh my God , crazy eisen is crazy . Eisen is absolutely insane and gene .
Oh my god , it's gene . Uh , gene and kaname . Honestly , okay , first of all I was not ready to see gene like as a kid . I'm like , okay , that's different . But then kind of made , kind of surprised me , to where he had like , oh , I don't know what it was , but it was like this weird , like crown shaped afro with um mask and shit .
I'm like , okay , that's almost looking like that's different yeah , he looks like something straight from the yakuza yo , I was not ready for that one .
I wasn't ready for that one . I'm not even gonna lie to you it's almost like you know what .
I'm kind of glad you got your new trip because I'm like , I mean , I'm not saying it's that bad , but compared to what he looked like nowadays , I'm like , okay , I kind of feel that you , um , I just like the new look better , you know .
He look better . I ain't go off . He look better . You know what else too , and I don't . I hope this doesn't sound too bad , but bleach makes black people look good .
Oh , hell yeah , um , especially um , one of the girls from Hard Bell on practicing well hard .
but uh , the other girl , um , with the brown hair , yeah , that's like they bleach was the , for me , the first anime that I've seen where I was like dang I could cosplay a berry gun too .
He's black . Um oh , whoa , without a doubt , um bro . Like to this day , people are still got it . They still got it bad for yorichi , like rgeku too , but especially yorichi like the fan art alone . I see more fan art of yorichi than any other uh character from bleak .
I'm like that that , not that , not that , that's a baby but , uh , season 12 .
My bad , we got so lost I don't know we finished talking about season 11 . Season 12 Essentially they're now in the fake . The fights are breaking out . Yeah , season 12 , essentially , okay , they're now in the fake . Kurochana , the fight's breaking out . The captains and the lieutenants , or whatever , they're fighting again .
