So was she his sword the whole time or what? I don't get it

With many saying the new anime being long running, I just want it to be 108 episodes knowing the importance of that number in buddhism kek. Also the arc itself + novels and additional stuff that Kubo couldn't add in the manga can be done in 70-80 episodes. The remaining can be standalone/ short arc SOL/adventure episodes.

She didn't. She had a shikai that was immediately called out for being impossible because it have three spirits instead of just one.

>I have a question regarding Yachiru Kusajishi. While she is Zaraki Kenpachi's Zanpakuto "Nozarashi", is her being called "Yachiru" the reason why she herself also possesses the Zanpakuto "Sanpo Kenju"? Be it Hihio Zabimaru or Fuji Kujaku, there have been many scenes in which the Zanpakuto could not release their true power unless called by their true names. I am thinking that "Nozarashi" gained the essence of a Shinigami and took form due to being named after the real "Yachiru", name which also led to her obtaining the Sanpo Kenju sword which is specialized in the act of slashing. I am really curious about the identity of Yachiru Kusajishi so it would be great if you could answer my question.

>Oh, wow! Despite there not even being a single passage written about Yachiru being Nozarashi, I'm amazed that you managed to find all that out! As far as the content of your question are concerned, you are almost right. In addition, Yachiru represents a form of Kenpachi's Bankai that was separated from its main body, and which gained the power of a Shinigami upon receiving a name from Kenpachi. The true embodiment of Nozarashi is that of a grown woman. Just imagine Zangetsu and Tensa Zangetsu, that should make it easier to understand.

This is from Kubo's Klub Outside website where you can pay him to answer your questions. This was question 151

Sorry but lmao

Yachiru needs more porn.

A lot of the Zanpakuto spirits do.

>you can literally pinpoint the moment when he realises that fan-idea was better than whatever he came up with and just retconned the whole Yachiru case
Amazing Kubo-san, truly subarashi.

No I think that most of this was pretty well expressed in the series outside of the "Nozarashi is a grown woman" thing. Kenpachi/Yachiru already had precedent with Starrk/Lilynette and the Japanese have a thing for giving something a name gives it a soul.
Kenpachi's excessive and enormous reiatsu gave form to a loli and then his attachment to the name Yachiru solidified the existence as "Yachiru Kusajishi" rather than a nameless man's Zanpakuto spirit.

>Japanese have a thing for giving something a name gives it a soul
desu it's pretty much only the modern western world that doesn't have this thing, the name of something was incredibly sacred in most societies historically speaking, the Egyptians even made it something on par with the soul.

It makes sense that it should be sacred. It feels weird into the west that a name could have inherent importance but now that I think about the Ichibei from the Royal Guard and his name-based abilities, I get the feeling we've lost something in the west by not upholding that tradition.

Yachiru never "made sense" at face value. Her "thoughts" during the SS arc make her an impossibility and yet you are supposed to just ignore it. I'm not saying Kubo planned this shit since the beginning, but something was always fishy about Yachiru's origin.

I'm confused about your emphasis. What didn't "make sense" and what was weird about her "thoughts"

huh, i thought only jews believed this

She supposedly was born into second most violent district. She explains how babies like her basically die on the spot. Then, somehow, she survived and managed to crawl into a battlefield spotless.

You can still kind of see remnants of it today in how we treat proper names
Proper names get capitalized, they're more Important than just normal word. Changing a name is a big deal, etc, and the remaining titles like Sir, Mister President, etc. are specifically to avoid naming someone lightly.
A lot of it really has been lost though. There was a time when names like Hades and Persephone were barely ever said and they got a bajillion titles solely for fear of invoking their real name and thus real power, and we're not even sure Hades IS his actual name and not just his most popular title. Hell Persephone has an aspect (Kore) whose name is just "Girl".

She was his bankai

Persephone even has stories in which people use Dread as one of her titles to avoid drawing her attention. Names were a big deal for Greeks. Like that one Heracles' wife whose name means something like "husband killer"

Oh your statement is about her capacity to survive. Yeah that makes sense but now that we know lolis can spontaneously appear into existence like with Starrk, it's not hard to retroactively understand that Yachiru probably popped into existence since they were in the Kusajishi district when they met.

It really has been lost. I don't think in my everyday life I ever find myself using titles for people unless I need to be excessively polite and formal.

Isnt soul society like heaven? What went wrong?

>Isnt soul society like heaven
Lol, said the Soul King
Lmao, he would've said, if he were alive

So we thought he was permanently stuck in shikai but he qas always in bankai mode?

Why was the king a potato again?

No. Soul Society is just another realm. It's closer to Buddhism's bullshit than to Christian stuff.

You see the most remnants of culture of the sacred in high/very formal society since those are where the priest and noble classes disappeared into. Originally (pre-Christianization) kings were head judge, head general, but also head priest. It's like how waiters in very good restaurants literally "wait" upon you, they don't run around taking orders or whatever. So the common folk would never just randomly call someone Sir because there's not enough stratification and social distance between people for that, but in high society a bartender can't just up and call me by name even if I told him what it is.

Shinigami killed him
Aizen was unironically right the entire time

Bleach's afterlife is based on the Buddhism cycle of afterlife called Samsara where a soul travels through 6 dimensions cycle and SS is considered to be the Deva "God" realm of it. A soul has to break this cycle to reach enlightenment.

His Zanpakuto spirit was partially manifested. He was unreleased for most of the series, eventually heard Nozarashi's (Shikai) voice after he was finished dealing with Unohana and then Yachiru returned to Kenpachi so that he could finally activate his Bankai.

So why didn't Unohana /ss/ kenpachi, she must've wanted to

She probably did while he slept.

He doesn't recognize the voice that calls out to him in muken and it uses his full name instead of Ken-chan. It couldn't have been the loli.

That does seem like pretty solid evidence that it was a different voice to Yachiru's given there's no way in hell that he wouldn't recognize Yachiru's voice.
The question becomes if Nozarashi looks anything like Yachiru or if Yachiru's look is independent of the spirit inside Zaraki.

We're already told Nozarashi looks like a grown woman, so he probably heard a grown woman's voice calling him by a name that suits a grown woman naming someone. I probably wouldn't recognize my own mom's voice as a teenager.

>I don't get it
Because you are a retard

sh 100% did

Doujins??

Man I hope we get to Kenpachi's Bankai at it's full potential in some filler, it being new and hard to handle for him against Gerard made sense but still felt disappointing.

What the fuck does Unohana's bankai even do? For that matter
>didn't get to see Aizen's bankai

>Never explained never will be explained
Stupid secondary

Kubo is helping the anime staff in understanding her Bankai and even guiding in how to animate it. As for Aizen, he is probably beyond the Bankai level with being able to summon his zanpakuto at will as shown in the final battle.

If it's a Zangetsu/Tensa Zangetsu situation it's probably just an aged up Yachiru.

>with being able to summon his zanpakuto at will
Wait what
Did I miss that, what did it look like?
Why the fuck did Aizen not have a bigger role btw he's by far the most interesting character in the series, who gives a fuck about YHWH "literally omnipotent but still lost" Bach

The funny thing is Tensa Zangetsu is the younger form.

>do shinigami wear black so Ichibe can use their for power?
>nah its because its easier to wash

Aizen doesn't have his zanpakuto while being sealed to the chair, only to summon it out of thin air while fighting Yuha at the end. Before being sealed he shows his zanpakuto being disintegrated sayin its an evolution similar to mugetsu wher the sword has become one with him.

Hope the anime expands the final fight, Kubo can have Aizen pull even more ridiculous shit. Kubo probably wanted use the fullbringers more as well considering how important Tsukishima was in countering Yuha's hax power.

Oh yeah you're right
I guess he literally is Kyouka Suigetsu at this point, I wonder what the bankai's full name is though because Kyouka Suigetsu in and of itself a complete yojijukugo, and one with no obvious expansion either since the poem it comes from doesn't have any good attachments. I guess he could change it entirely and make it like, Meikyou Shisui and let Aizen perceive all things as they really are, the opposite of giving everyone else false senses?

explain then

Post more Yachiru gatcha banners.

Got more?

It's downright criminal how little porn she got.

Bleach is incredibly dumb and poorly thought out
that's all you need to know

Like 90% of Bleach porn is of the ginger titty monsters plus Yoruichi

user...Ken-chan IS Yachiru's bankai.

Retard

As expected of normies.
Ururu is underused too.

I don't mind tiddy monsters but the porn of them mostly isn't even any good
