Speaker:

howdy.

Speaker:

It's the Southern Sin Pie Show.

Speaker:

We're small town southerners.

Speaker:

Explore big time Japanese entertainment, anime, manga, and everything in between.

Speaker:

Here's your hosts, Nicholas and dj.

Speaker:

Hello.

Speaker:

Welcome to Southern Sim PIs.

Speaker:

Your two guys explore Japanese culture together.

Speaker:

My name is Nicholas and I'm dj.

Speaker:

And what are we talking about today?

Speaker:

Dj?

Speaker:

We're talking about bleach The second episode of, not second episode, but

Speaker:

second part, I believe it's gonna be episode eight through 1515.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Once again, we're watching the English dubbed one.

Speaker:

We're not watching the Japanese sub, right?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Because we're a bunch of bumpkins kill Billies.

Speaker:

I'm from Tennessee.

Speaker:

I'm not watching, I'm not watching, I'm not reading.

Speaker:

I'm not reading in that ma, my vocabulary, nah, I don't know how to read now.

Speaker:

It was what goes on in this through 15.

Speaker:

Of the manga.

Speaker:

Of the manga.

Speaker:

On the anime.

Speaker:

On the anime on that there anime on that there anime That Ichigo Hear me?

Speaker:

And oh, the Tima, is that her name?

Speaker:

She got, oh, the heme.

Speaker:

Oh, the T Ma.

Speaker:

Oh, the cares.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

On on episode eight we show, I don't know if it's episode

Speaker:

eight, but Ru Kia's brother dies.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Like he gets murked pretty.

Speaker:

This man gets murked.

Speaker:

I think, like we said on the, like the last episode, it kinda

Speaker:

seems like he didn't know.

Speaker:

He forgot that he invented Quincy's and then went back and

Speaker:

was like, oh yeah, I have to these Quincy's about to wreck this.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So now, they just proven how much stronger they are than everyone else because

Speaker:

supposedly they steal their Bon cas.

Speaker:

They just like wrecking these people.

Speaker:

And then what's his name?

Speaker:

Oh, redhead with the scarf, with the high hairline like Veta.

Speaker:

Talking about gie.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

He was trying to get in and he was like no, don't get your bonai stolen.

Speaker:

Yeah, because then both of us won't have a bonai.

Speaker:

And then he was basically like, I'm going to use myself as a Guinea pig.

Speaker:

So you find out anything you can about this person's weakness, which

Speaker:

is a big L 'cause when you think about it, it doesn't make any sense.

Speaker:

Okay neither of us know how he's doing this.

Speaker:

So what the plan is to have his steel mind and hope that you're smart enough.

Speaker:

You only have once.

Speaker:

You only have once to figure this out.

Speaker:

So hopefully you're smart enough this one time to get it and

Speaker:

not, and this is Rey, right?

Speaker:

It's not, it's no one who yeah.

Speaker:

'cause the Quincy's a smart guy.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

This is not like ra who's Pretty smart.

Speaker:

They're all outta luck, actually.

Speaker:

'cause Yeah, the Quincy's the smart one, and if he's not there I

Speaker:

DIMMs the wraps, dims the brakes.

Speaker:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker:

Do but one of the things that's clear is the pacing on this is crazy.

Speaker:

It's really fast and I like it a lot better than old.

Speaker:

It feels like when you, the first couple of seasons of

Speaker:

bleach, it was like this fast.

Speaker:

Where things were just bam was just a lot of plot happening up front.

Speaker:

And I think that's, I think that's also why people like one piece so much.

Speaker:

There's a lot that happens in every episode of one piece.

Speaker:

Yeah I just, I couldn't get into one piece all that much.

Speaker:

There's so many episodes, man.

Speaker:

I, and I turned around and it was still on for 10, and they had I

Speaker:

stopped watching it and the next thing I know, they got 600 more episodes.

Speaker:

I'm like, are you serious?

Speaker:

I got to one in one pace.

Speaker:

I got all the way up to the part where Nate, where the chick betrays

Speaker:

the the chick betrays the crew.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And goes to the dude with the shark nose.

Speaker:

And then she decides, oh, just kidding.

Speaker:

And then that's as far I was like I don't even remember that part.

Speaker:

I remember portraying them, you know what we're not talking about on beach?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

We're not talking about, we're talking about bleach.

Speaker:

But anyway, one of the biggest things that I thought was a huge

Speaker:

plot point is we find out that, first of all, Ichigo dad is not his dad.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

He says he is not his dad.

Speaker:

He says, he's like the Quincy King says oh, I'm your dad.

Speaker:

And it's what?

Speaker:

He goes in his son lost in the darkness or something like that.

Speaker:

His and the thing is he became the guy's dad after only

Speaker:

knowing the chick for a day.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That's how much information we have so far.

Speaker:

So far.

Speaker:

It sounds like someone who lied to me.

Speaker:

I bet you he's, you know what's, you know what's really weird?

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

So this guy, he has like this long coat and like the, like just the way he looks.

Speaker:

If he didn't have that mustache to be honest, the first thing I

Speaker:

thought I was like, oh, that looks like the zpa to Jigo sword guy.

Speaker:

What's his name?

Speaker:

Zan Getsu.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I was like, this dude looks exactly like Zan Getsu and I'm

Speaker:

just dating myself like bro.

Speaker:

They look exactly the same to me, except for one has exactly the same

Speaker:

except one has a giant mustache.

Speaker:

So when I think that, and especially once you say, oh, I'm your son, I'm like, is he

Speaker:

gonna reveal that he's actually like Zon tsu and that each goes to son of a blade?

Speaker:

That, alright, so even crazier than that was that he's the son

Speaker:

of the most powerful Quincy.

Speaker:

Yeah, his mom's a Quincy.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And he sits there and says, and each girl's man, did you

Speaker:

lie to me this whole time?

Speaker:

He was like, no, I didn't.

Speaker:

Actually, what you've been learning from is the thousand

Speaker:

year old past self of mine.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And the person going after you is the person I am today.

Speaker:

That's wild.

Speaker:

That's crazy.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

The oh my gosh.

Speaker:

I think it's, and at first I was like, oh, when they say, oh, my blood runs in

Speaker:

you, I thought it was, 'cause with the ceremony, he, they drank his blood, right?

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

But he means legitimately you're all my children.

Speaker:

And then also what's the guy's name?

Speaker:

The Quincy that was with them the whole time.

Speaker:

But anyway, we gotta get better at these names, man.

Speaker:

I'm just like, oh, the guy with the glasses, the guy who

Speaker:

but he drinks the guy's blood.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So that's why I was like, oh, he means figuratively, you're my son.

Speaker:

'cause blood runs in through your vein Also, he's being literal also.

Speaker:

Let's not skip over the fact that the dude betrays his whole crew.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

For this guy, and it's he's oh yeah, this is my successor.

Speaker:

I'm like, what?

Speaker:

What are you?

Speaker:

Is it a joke or are you being for serious?

Speaker:

Are you being for serious?

Speaker:

That's crazy.

Speaker:

And his, all the Quincy are just like.

Speaker:

This is blah, blah, blah.

Speaker:

This is bull.

Speaker:

This is crazy.

Speaker:

Wait, you know what?

Speaker:

I think I'm gonna take back the thing I said about the

Speaker:

hy being the son of a blade.

Speaker:

It's probably because you're right.

Speaker:

Like it was like Z tsu was the.

Speaker:

Was the image that he was seeing.

Speaker:

So it's probably that, it's probably that Quincy, right?

Speaker:

I think is that how it is?

Speaker:

Like he's, that Quincy was Zon Getsu the whole time.

Speaker:

The thing was, is that I forgot the dude's name.

Speaker:

We gotta really get that.

Speaker:

We're gonna, we're gonna get it eventually.

Speaker:

But anyway, the King Quincy guy, I'm gonna look at it right now, right?

Speaker:

The King Quincy guy.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

He, what he did was pretend to be Zung.

Speaker:

Tsu, right?

Speaker:

I don't think he pretended.

Speaker:

I think that was the, that because he's literally his ancestor, so

Speaker:

I don't think he was pretending.

Speaker:

He's just my blood.

Speaker:

This was just what it did like inside of you.

Speaker:

Plus the thing is also is Tetsu is his Stepdad, that's his stuff.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Like whenever you see him.

Speaker:

Because Ura Hara.

Speaker:

'cause I know that name.

Speaker:

Like for some reason we remember the female names more than no, URA.

Speaker:

Hara is the guy with the green and white hat?

Speaker:

Oh no, I'm talking about me.

Speaker:

I don't.

Speaker:

Oh, you said you remember?

Speaker:

Yeah, I remember.

Speaker:

So that I remember.

Speaker:

But Han said that Remember in that episode, he was like, listen this

Speaker:

is a experimental gee guy, right?

Speaker:

And he said, the only problem with getting in this gee guy to save I ego's mom, is

Speaker:

that you will no longer be a soul reaper.

Speaker:

You, you are you, the guy with the glasses.

Speaker:

Y who's the master.

Speaker:

Who's the master?

Speaker:

This guy.

Speaker:

This guy.

Speaker:

Odu.

Speaker:

U o.

Speaker:

Thank you.

Speaker:

Odu U.

Speaker:

Thank you.

Speaker:

And then who's the King Quincy guy?

Speaker:

Big mustache,

Speaker:

but his name's we're calling him.

Speaker:

Big.

Speaker:

Big mustache.

Speaker:

Big mustache.

Speaker:

That's his name.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

He's just, he just, he's just big Mexican because he is got

Speaker:

the most ridiculous facial hair.

Speaker:

He looks like you ever play Sonic the Hedgehog?

Speaker:

Oh, he does look like Egg man.

Speaker:

Yeah, he has his Egg Man stash going on.

Speaker:

We got the egg man stash.

Speaker:

But dude the crazy part is that in these eight to 14, eight to 15 episodes,

Speaker:

these captains are getting merch, bro.

Speaker:

Oh man.

Speaker:

They are taking major ails and then their king is just sitting there watching it.

Speaker:

And and the Quincy's, the rest of the quincy's are pissed that Oio

Speaker:

is there in the first place, right?

Speaker:

Or you're like, oh, how was this guy that a successor?

Speaker:

And to be fair, he for a long time believed that he was the only Quincy left.

Speaker:

And it's like you guys, all of you must have just recently become Quincy's.

Speaker:

There's no way there'd be this giant arm.

Speaker:

He must've been, he's been a Quincy his entire life.

Speaker:

Getting married to you guys who are just guiding these powers

Speaker:

within a couple of years.

Speaker:

The thing is remember is that he was the last original Quincy, right?

Speaker:

The Quincy's that have been made now come from Big mustache.

Speaker:

And okay.

Speaker:

Not only that big mustache had hidden them away in, in the.

Speaker:

And and that was the crazy thing, right?

Speaker:

So the first time the Quincy's tried to take down the Soul

Speaker:

Reapers, they came into the Serta.

Speaker:

But then they were like, how we, basically smashed you guys so easily this time

Speaker:

We've been here the whole time, we've been right behind you in the whole time.

Speaker:

In the Sara, in the s.

Speaker:

We've been back there in a, we've been done getting, got up there all time.

Speaker:

In the shadow.

Speaker:

In the shadow Outta, yeah, in the but, so there's two captains that just got

Speaker:

murked in these recent episodes besides Ru Kia's older brother and the one is

Speaker:

the head of the stealth force, right?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

She gets Merk pretty bad.

Speaker:

She gets.

Speaker:

Bro.

Speaker:

She gets, she's so annoying.

Speaker:

I always thought that she was super annoying.

Speaker:

She's always oh, it's because like Kaley, you, Richie, or the only, the black girl

Speaker:

with purple hair, she's always oh yeah.

Speaker:

With the little poison tips.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

She's always oh, because you didn't become my girlfriend or something, I don't like.

Speaker:

She was she was her teacher, but she's always mad because like she left.

Speaker:

And now she just had this thorn in her side the whole time.

Speaker:

So I don't really know what her deal is.

Speaker:

I think she's supposed to come off as this like person who's

Speaker:

oh, I'm just like a tomboy, but.

Speaker:

I, I don't buy that.

Speaker:

I don't buy it.

Speaker:

I don't not even a little bit.

Speaker:

Don't buy it.

Speaker:

And the other one is the the kid with ice powers.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I'm not sure if his name is Hiri or that's his Zapatos name.

Speaker:

That's his Zapatos.

Speaker:

Hiri.

Speaker:

So because he has those ice wings, you still, so the thing was, is that, so once

Speaker:

his bonai got taken from him, We see that he goes to the dojo and he's oh yeah.

Speaker:

Hey Captain, you know what can I do for it?

Speaker:

And he's could you please teach me sword skills?

Speaker:

He is like, what?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

He like, he's humble enough to retrain himself.

Speaker:

And I thought that shows a lot of character.

Speaker:

And so what ends up happening is once he goes against that fire Quincy,

Speaker:

he's like him and his lieutenant.

Speaker:

Her and the lieutenant he had, and she like, and she,

Speaker:

'cause she has the ash powers.

Speaker:

So they mix 'em together and powers they anime.

Speaker:

Only anime thinking that, yeah, I don't get fired.

Speaker:

At least it's not a black dude that has ash powers.

Speaker:

That'd be racist.

Speaker:

That would No, that would make more sense.

Speaker:

Black people, we always talk about people being ashy.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Oh, this guy's ashy.

Speaker:

You're ashy.

Speaker:

We have cocoa bottle lotion.

Speaker:

To prevent ash, it would make sense if a black person had ash.

Speaker:

Yeah, but it'd also be racist.

Speaker:

Eh, there's a line there.

Speaker:

It is like it's in the execution.

Speaker:

It depends on the execution.

Speaker:

If it came off of his skin and then he turned like white to get

Speaker:

off, off, and that's what he had.

Speaker:

The only has so much ash.

Speaker:

He has so much ash on his skin that he appears black and no one just take it off.

Speaker:

He's white.

Speaker:

That would've been racist but it being an a sword I would've gave it a pass.

Speaker:

But, so basically what happens is, and then he somehow finds out how to use

Speaker:

his ice powers again because anime.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I think that in his, he's not only in his bonai in which he can use ice,

Speaker:

he can use it in rich In his, yeah, in his, what is the other sea kind?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So he was like, the two are.

Speaker:

Or mixed together.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

It's like his sore power is ice.

Speaker:

Just as bonai is like more powerful ice or does a whole bunch of other stuff.

Speaker:

Here's the thing, I feel like it's a bit cheating.

Speaker:

Like Reggie's, when he's in his like second stage with

Speaker:

the sword, his thing extends.

Speaker:

'cause this is like his sort power, right?

Speaker:

But it seems like some people, they don't really have the any

Speaker:

powers in their second stage.

Speaker:

It's just that not even each ego does the sort like, He

Speaker:

just has get your gun 10 show.

Speaker:

So it's like he doesn't really have some sort of element or something like that.

Speaker:

Someone goes bond.

Speaker:

In fact, I personally, I have never really been a fan of each Gil's Bond guy.

Speaker:

'cause he's, everyone else gets these really cool powers.

Speaker:

Even people who are like, oh, like my fricking swords in the

Speaker:

shape of an L for some reason.

Speaker:

And this man gets a slash right?

Speaker:

And he goes, all right, I powered up and my slash is now more powerful.

Speaker:

That's.

Speaker:

That's not fair.

Speaker:

That's not fair.

Speaker:

That's not fair.

Speaker:

Everyone else gets to be like, oh, hey, guess what?

Speaker:

I get to have some sort of like flower pedal swords or I

Speaker:

get to be ice people sambora.

Speaker:

It's just like I was like, dude, this is crazy.

Speaker:

And then he just gets a, this is her name right here is Ring Ku.

Speaker:

Ring.

Speaker:

G.

Speaker:

Ring.

Speaker:

Ring.

Speaker:

Matsu.

Speaker:

Matsu.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Matsu.

Speaker:

Hey Soto.

Speaker:

Look.

Speaker:

Look what I Google searched to, to get her.

Speaker:

What did you Google?

Speaker:

Search Heroes Wiki.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

Oh, big titty lady in bleach.

Speaker:

It just came up.

Speaker:

It just came.

Speaker:

I was like, that's so I was, but that's like her whole character.

Speaker:

I don't care what, it's just the fact that she's just got a huge chest.

Speaker:

I don't care what anybody says.

Speaker:

Anyone who's always oh, she's a really great character because of da.

Speaker:

That's not what you like her, right?

Speaker:

That's like people who she was designed for fan service.

Speaker:

That's why.

Speaker:

That's what that's like.

Speaker:

People that are like that, they say.

Speaker:

High school D X D actually has a good story.

Speaker:

It's explain it then.

Speaker:

Tell me the story.

Speaker:

Do it right now.

Speaker:

Explain to me the story from beginning to end.

Speaker:

Let's see.

Speaker:

Hey.

Speaker:

Are you about to do this?

Speaker:

Are you, about you just out yourself?

Speaker:

I don't know.

Speaker:

I don't know what the story is.

Speaker:

You could've just said nothing and you would've passed.

Speaker:

Like I, oh, wow.

Speaker:

Guess I out if,

Speaker:

all right.

Speaker:

This episode of bleach, and then episode 15 ends with And then

Speaker:

discovering a way to get their Bon Kais back, which is to be revealed.

Speaker:

To be revealed.

Speaker:

But the crazy part is what's the really evil guy that does the d and

Speaker:

d research, the r and d research talking about the squad captain.

Speaker:

Yeah, dude, I love this drip that he comes out in.

Speaker:

He comes out and just like he had outfitted his lab and all

Speaker:

glowing stuff, he actually on light to get rid of the shadows.

Speaker:

He sacrifices everybody in his lab.

Speaker:

Yeah, to then, 'cause every, at first everybody's oh man,

Speaker:

I can't get into the back.

Speaker:

What's going on here?

Speaker:

And then there's oh wow, somebody's attacking us and something's going wrong.

Speaker:

And the dude's and they get transported into that, like that place, right?

Speaker:

So he comes out and he's just I think you guys, my Uri.

Speaker:

I think your power has something to do with shadows.

Speaker:

So I made sure I didn't have any shadows.

Speaker:

This man comes out Drip.

Speaker:

It looks like he's in like this golden light.

Speaker:

I think he really just did that to Flex man.

Speaker:

Yeah, because 'cause then you look at his assistant and she has like on

Speaker:

this like bomber jacket with his hat.

Speaker:

And I was like, bro, you did this to Flex.

Speaker:

Yeah, this man was like 100%.

Speaker:

And the do and the Quincy that is.

Speaker:

Following him.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Or that's trying to, get his cookies, is it's just Hey, you're too dripped out.

Speaker:

I'm gonna leave.

Speaker:

I, he would, he's you know what, I'm gonna get your milk another time.

Speaker:

And he's I'm gonna leave you.

Speaker:

You're actually too studded for me, actually too dripped out.

Speaker:

I'm gonna just bounce.

Speaker:

And I always like, and he goes, but you're not even gonna try to stop me.

Speaker:

And Bur was like, no, you're free to leave.

Speaker:

You're the bad guy.

Speaker:

You're only here.

Speaker:

You're here invading us.

Speaker:

So if you feel like leaving and not invading us, that sounds awesome to me.

Speaker:

I think that's that.

Speaker:

I think that whole exchange was really funny 'cause he was like,

Speaker:

you can leave anytime you want.

Speaker:

And he was like, really?

Speaker:

You are gonna let me leave?

Speaker:

Yeah man, you came at us, right?

Speaker:

So if you wanna leave, then leave, then wait, no one's keeping you here.

Speaker:

And he's you don't want to attack me.

Speaker:

He's do you think that I'm stupid enough to attack you when I don't

Speaker:

know what you can really do?

Speaker:

Oh, and so you can steal my bon guy look.

Speaker:

I'm not one of these other captains.

Speaker:

I'm not a an idiot.

Speaker:

You're talking to the smart guy here, right?

Speaker:

And the guy was like, I think the funny part is the Quincy was like,

Speaker:

this was all unexpected for him.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

He was like, oh, I thought you were gonna fight me so I can steal your panka.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I'm not gonna do that.

Speaker:

So if you wanna leave, Door's right there, man.

Speaker:

And he's alright, cool, my bad.

Speaker:

Hey, he just leaves.

Speaker:

And the crazy part is, so one thing we definitely have to talk about

Speaker:

is how Ichigo gets kicked out.

Speaker:

Of soul heaven or whatever they call it.

Speaker:

What do they call it?

Speaker:

It's the royal palace.

Speaker:

It's the royal palace area with the three, with the five

Speaker:

houses or something like that.

Speaker:

Five.

Speaker:

Those were the castles.

Speaker:

So he gets kicked out.

Speaker:

Because no zapa to choose him.

Speaker:

Because the little go and learn back about who he truly was and once he found

Speaker:

out oh, I'm a, I'm Mark Quincy, 'cause my mom's a Quincy and that, that whole, those

Speaker:

couple of episodes of seeing his parents like get together and stuff like that.

Speaker:

I was just like, all okay.

Speaker:

I see this now.

Speaker:

What other hidden powers are happening during this exchange?

Speaker:

Bro, you've been, we've redone this origin story, this secret origin

Speaker:

story, like four or five times.

Speaker:

It's not always Mom's a Quincy.

Speaker:

I feel like I would've known this well, like you said, Quincy was the last

Speaker:

angle this man had to go on, right?

Speaker:

So this is what he went with.

Speaker:

But the crazier part was, is that's also why UU was chosen is 'cause like

Speaker:

when the King rose again and stole back all the Quincy powers from the

Speaker:

Quincy's, which is why his mom died.

Speaker:

'cause she didn't have any powers, right?

Speaker:

That's that.

Speaker:

But we can gloss over that.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

We can't gloss over the fact that the reason why Ichi ego's mom died and u's mom

Speaker:

died was because the king was like, yeah.

Speaker:

. So because he's genetically related to all of them, he has this

Speaker:

ability to just steal their powers.

Speaker:

To increase his powers.

Speaker:

That's also probably why he doesn't really care if they die or not.

Speaker:

'cause he is oh, I'm just gonna take my power back.

Speaker:

Like it's like whatever.

Speaker:

The crazy part is that's why she dies.

Speaker:

'cause she doesn't have her Quincy Shield or whatever.

Speaker:

Also, that's when Rio's mom dies as well.

Speaker:

So I feel like he knows this, so I feel like he's probably gonna portray the king.

Speaker:

Not only that he's friends with the main character.

Speaker:

But it's I feel like I, I would enjoy it more if they didn't try to, if it was

Speaker:

suspense and not trying to be a twist, I feel like that's what's gonna happen.

Speaker:

He's gonna be like, oh, psych, it's a twist.

Speaker:

Me and Ichigo are actually friends and.

Speaker:

This was just to get close to you so I can kill you, da.

Speaker:

And if that's the case, I'm like, then why did you let all those people die?

Speaker:

You jerk.

Speaker:

Why didn't you, why did you do something?

Speaker:

You set up a gun.

Speaker:

I, but I like, I think that suspense is that an, this

Speaker:

animation is just full of twists.

Speaker:

That's all anime does.

Speaker:

Twist this, twist that, twist it.

Speaker:

I would love for just once to just feel the tension between two characters that

Speaker:

I know are going to fight eventually.

Speaker:

No Toad did.

Speaker:

Yeah, like with nato, with Saske and NATO are always fighting and always something,

Speaker:

and it's oh, but they're friends.

Speaker:

But then in Ja Putin, it's like when you see them on screen, when

Speaker:

you leaving just casually talking to themselves, you're like, oh,

Speaker:

this is gonna come, is go sideways.

Speaker:

Yeah, this is different.

Speaker:

And that's all you're waiting for, just looking at them,

Speaker:

waiting for it to go sideways.

Speaker:

And it eventually does, right?

Speaker:

And it eventually does.

Speaker:

But so they eventually, but here's the crazy part, we don't talk about the

Speaker:

fact that whenever Ichigo goes back to the place that he got kicked out of,

Speaker:

he just walks up to his zpac to it's one of the I forget what this word

Speaker:

guy calls it, but basically they're blinks and he chooses one, and it

Speaker:

turns into a white hollow version.

Speaker:

I, I gotta be honest with you, this is another word that I'm like, what?

Speaker:

Because, so he makes all the zpac toasts, right?

Speaker:

He's the creator of the zpac to this is every single one.

Speaker:

This is this black guy that's made all the Zak toes, all of 'em, okay.

Speaker:

And he goes, he basically makes it as blanks.

Speaker:

So that way you can put in your spiritual pressure into it.

Speaker:

And that's when it's oh, you make it your own.

Speaker:

Then where did Ichigo get his from?

Speaker:

Like I, is it 'cause when rookie was like, oh, I'm gonna give you part of my power.

Speaker:

Cool.

Speaker:

You gave me some of your power.

Speaker:

Then where did I get this giant Zon Pau.

Speaker:

That's like huge.

Speaker:

That's like way bigger than anybody else's.

Speaker:

Exactly.

Speaker:

And then also when I lost that rookie's power, I got my own power.

Speaker:

I just, I had another zanuck toe, so this is, he is technically he's never had one.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And this is his actual Zan bto.

Speaker:

That's the guy tells, he's oh, you've actually never had a Zanuck toe.

Speaker:

And then they're just, I, you just, you've just been borrowing one the whole time.

Speaker:

Where it wasn't at the Quincy guy, the tour are us, the Quincy guy.

Speaker:

Remember?

Speaker:

'cause he was like, yeah, I've been using the Quincy Zan pto.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

He did say that, didn't he?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Quincy Z, pto and 'cause of Quincy's were using other stuff

Speaker:

besides just air bows and arrows.

Speaker:

So it's okay cool.

Speaker:

So I have a Quincy Z pto.

Speaker:

Then how come?

Speaker:

What works on a slow Rupert on pto?

Speaker:

And also how come no one noticed this?

Speaker:

Just saying they seem to be very A, that's anime man at noticing when

Speaker:

Quincy are there, they're like, oh.

Speaker:

Because of your spiritual pressure or lack thereof, and

Speaker:

you know what else that means?

Speaker:

That means he's been killing all these people.

Speaker:

Let's not gloss over that part, okay?

Speaker:

Because Quincy's destroy souls their weapons destroy souls.

Speaker:

That's a huge part of this, right?

Speaker:

Is that oh, weapons destroy the souls.

Speaker:

So now there's an imbalance in the worlds might collide, right?

Speaker:

They don't get to go to heaven, they just die, which is also Orly horrible, right?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

So that means that's what he's been doing.

Speaker:

How come Igo didn't make this imbalance?

Speaker:

He's killing a.

Speaker:

A lot of hollows, a lot of Iran cars have gone down because Vic ago, and

Speaker:

there's not any imbalance at all.

Speaker:

And then also remember Eisen was always like, yeah, I planned all of this.

Speaker:

How?

Speaker:

Because it seemed like this Quincy guy playing all of this.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Did they plan it together?

Speaker:

It doesn't seem like it, because when the Quinte king went to go talk to

Speaker:

Eisen was like, Hey bro, guess what?

Speaker:

Suck a fat one.

Speaker:

I don't feel like joining you and I don't serve anybody.

Speaker:

And the king was quite taken aback by this.

Speaker:

He was like, oh, we're both evil.

Speaker:

So I thought this would be cool.

Speaker:

And he was like, nah, I like to be evil on top.

Speaker:

I like to be evil.

Speaker:

You know the head evil guy head evil in charge.

Speaker:

And then so they're sitting there surprised.

Speaker:

They're like, oh, wow.

Speaker:

You get two blades.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Now he's dual wheeling.

Speaker:

I guess because one is one, he's part hollow and part soul Reaper.

Speaker:

So now he's the dual blade is his, the reel's gonna get to,

Speaker:

but here's the real thing.

Speaker:

He's also ful bring, isn't he?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And he's also, so he's a ful.

Speaker:

Bring hollow Quincy soul.

Speaker:

Wouldn't you have four of these?

Speaker:

Or does the full brain I guess the full brain powers like melded

Speaker:

with the other powers, right?

Speaker:

That's still three blades.

Speaker:

Yeah, I don't, and we still, you know what?

Speaker:

The worst part is?

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

The worst part.

Speaker:

I know.

Speaker:

I just wanted to rank, but you know what the worst part about this is?

Speaker:

What?

Speaker:

The enemy's still really good.

Speaker:

You overlook all of that.

Speaker:

And we didn't even talk about that head, that squad captain who was the psychopath.

Speaker:

Right That had no powers.

Speaker:

He was just, yeah, a psycho ache.

Speaker:

Kampachi.

Speaker:

Yeah, he kampachi Raki and he fights the the previous ache, the healer

Speaker:

captain, which I was like, and she turns out to be this blood badass.

Speaker:

I was like crazy powerful.

Speaker:

And she was like, there can't be two aches.

Speaker:

She was like, yeah, I was the previous ache.

Speaker:

And you're a K Apache.

Speaker:

There can't be two Kim Apaches.

Speaker:

And finally the kimchi that we know.

Speaker:

He finally gets to hear his blade's voice after all this time.

Speaker:

'cause that's always been his thing.

Speaker:

He's oh, I've never even known how to, what my blade's name

Speaker:

was, or nothing like that.

Speaker:

Unlike everyone else who uses their connection with their blade to fight.

Speaker:

He's yeah, I've never needed to do that.

Speaker:

Now he's, and it turns out he's been limiting himself this whole

Speaker:

time because he enjoys fighting so much and he kills so easily.

Speaker:

He's oh, I'm just, but limits on myself so I can't reach my full potential over time.

Speaker:

And she's yeah, I'm the only one to go bring this outta you because

Speaker:

I can kill you and resurrect you.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And then he is so now I'm gonna have to kill you, but I don't want to.

Speaker:

And it's an emotional scene whenever he kills his mentor.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

'cause it turns out she's been his mentor this whole time.

Speaker:

We didn't know this, but she's been his mentor and also she's

Speaker:

the only person that they enjoy.

Speaker:

Like they respect each other and he looks up to her and she likes fighting him.

Speaker:

And it's like this like odd motherson relationship.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That just based around the love of battle.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

It's a bit it's a bit strange.

Speaker:

And it also kinda seems I guess that's why we haven't seen her fight very much.

Speaker:

'cause she's I could just kill everyone here.

Speaker:

I have no interest in dying.

Speaker:

I have no in like, where he was like, oh, I'm gonna limit

Speaker:

myself so I can keep fighting.

Speaker:

She's I just quit fighting.

Speaker:

So screw it.

Speaker:

There's no point.

Speaker:

I was so powerful and can kill everybody so easily.

Speaker:

And she was like the, apparently the original leader of the squad, not the

Speaker:

first captain guy with the fire powers.

Speaker:

Oh really?

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I didn't know that.

Speaker:

Yeah, when they were just straight up, when they were just straight up

Speaker:

savage from Savages, she was like the leader and then he became the leader.

Speaker:

And then the crazy part was, is I think we talked about this a

Speaker:

little on the last episode, was.

Speaker:

Squad guard captains and like titles and stuff like that.

Speaker:

That wasn't meant to, yeah, it didn't exist at first.

Speaker:

That was just a thing that we said that they said that didn't mean anything.

Speaker:

Just basically a gang showed up and meed so many people so easily.

Speaker:

They were like, all right, you guys are in charge now.

Speaker:

All right, cool.

Speaker:

We're gonna call ourselves squad captains.

Speaker:

Sure, man.

Speaker:

Whatever you want.

Speaker:

Please just leave us alone.

Speaker:

And we protected sarat.

Speaker:

All right, cool.

Speaker:

And now we know why they protected Sarat so fiercely.

Speaker:

This is a gang, right?

Speaker:

They're, this is gay territory.

Speaker:

These are good people.

Speaker:

They're evil.

Speaker:

They are.

Speaker:

And the best gang members gotta be next to the king.

Speaker:

The king was probably like, Hey, I don't, yeah, sure man.

Speaker:

You can protect me.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And then you have each go is getting to go to places that nobody has

Speaker:

ever been before because the Five Castle Main he's the main character.

Speaker:

Regie and Ruki, I get to go over them too.

Speaker:

Yeah, but they're not focusing on that.

Speaker:

Yeah, no.

Speaker:

They just going to blossoms over there.

Speaker:

And at the very last part of it, the king.

Speaker:

Is sitting there saying, I have to make sure that you're worthy to even see me.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And it's like, all right, I understand that.

Speaker:

But if you could just look downwards and see how everything is just

Speaker:

burning, that would be really great.

Speaker:

If it came, would've said that I had to worthy you to see me.

Speaker:

Okay.

Speaker:

What is the advantage of seeing you?

Speaker:

Just real quick.

Speaker:

Oh, am I gonna get a power up?

Speaker:

I'm not.

Speaker:

You're just gonna tell me some information.

Speaker:

Hey man, I don't mean to be a dick.

Speaker:

But I don't need information right now.

Speaker:

I need power.

Speaker:

I need power because your kingdom is literally on fire while

Speaker:

you're up here doing nothing.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

What are you gonna be, you are gonna be a JIT and a second king of nobody.

Speaker:

And they asked him like, Hey man, you guys are all head captains.

Speaker:

They're way more powerful than anyone else.

Speaker:

Why don't you come down here and help us?

Speaker:

Oh.

Speaker:

'cause we guard the king.

Speaker:

That's y'all's job.

Speaker:

But my job would be up here.

Speaker:

I wouldn't like, bro, whatever information you've got from me up there, I don't even

Speaker:

want to, I'm gonna stay down here, bro.

Speaker:

Don't even worry about it, bro.

Speaker:

And he is I gotta leave.

Speaker:

And he was like, if you want to die fast, that's cool.

Speaker:

If you wanna die quickly, I would've been like, all so he's 'cause you guys see that

Speaker:

you guys are no match for these people.

Speaker:

So you guys are a match for them, but you don't feel like fighting 'em.

Speaker:

'cause you have to protect a king for some.

Speaker:

Because you're jackass apparently.

Speaker:

'cause you can easily come down here and bend back up to the king very easily

Speaker:

it seems so you're just doing it right.

Speaker:

And also you can train people to be so powerful that they would be

Speaker:

able to easily beat these people.

Speaker:

That's where they went to Rukia and Ichigo and stuff like that.

Speaker:

You know who could've used that power?

Speaker:

The 13 guard captains.

Speaker:

Yeah, they might not have died if you guys just I don't know, helped out.

Speaker:

Like it seems a little bit, all Ichigo has been doing is

Speaker:

like walking around and eating.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

That's why Ty's been doing that's why they felt so bad whenever they got there.

Speaker:

They were like, Hey man I feeling a little guilty.

Speaker:

We went to a hot springing and then we were eating food

Speaker:

and then, yeah, that's it.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

But to be fair though that hot Spring did bring back CIA's brother.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

And he was like, damn man, you've been here more than anybody ever.

Speaker:

And he was like, probably 'cause I was dead.

Speaker:

Probably 'cause I was dead.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Probably that probably it probably.

Speaker:

Wait a minute, they stole the Lazarus pit from Batman.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

Yeah, probably.

Speaker:

I love how one of 'em is like heaven and then one of 'em is hell.

Speaker:

So the heaven one, the Clearwater one cleans them and then

Speaker:

the hell one is replaces it.

Speaker:

I'm not gonna lie, when I first saw that, I thought it

Speaker:

was tomato sauce or something.

Speaker:

I thought he was about to say, this is tomato sauce.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I mean it's, anyway, it's possible.

Speaker:

It could have been like, this is.

Speaker:

Soul sauce.

Speaker:

Oh yeah, the barbecue sauce.

Speaker:

Let's talk about the originality of all this stuff.

Speaker:

It's a soul phone.

Speaker:

It's a, yeah, they got soul phones.

Speaker:

Oh wow.

Speaker:

Soul phones, soul.

Speaker:

Anything that happens in this anime, they now just put soul and whatever it

Speaker:

is in front of it, and it's like that's lazy, but they don't have any soul food.

Speaker:

What's up with that?

Speaker:

Because didn't That'd be.

Speaker:

People would think that's racist.

Speaker:

Look, anime has gotten away with a lot more racist stuff.

Speaker:

I feel like giving a brother some collard greens is not going

Speaker:

to be the end of the world.

Speaker:

Or just even just a slice of cornbread.

Speaker:

I feel like you could get away with that.

Speaker:

No.

Speaker:

'cause in the next, oh, you guys are racist.

Speaker:

You guys are soul food.

Speaker:

Do Japanese people even know what soul food?

Speaker:

It's probably not.

Speaker:

That's probably what it is.

Speaker:

Yeah.

Speaker:

I think they, I think belief is one of the only anime where they draw

Speaker:

black people not in some, not weird way, like regular human beings.

Speaker:

I don't like that.

Speaker:

I don't think he's, 'cause they are, I don't think he's discovered soul food.

Speaker:

He's just, I'll say that for later.

Speaker:

You know what I'm saying?

Speaker:

Like the first anime I see was soul food.

Speaker:

It will instantly become my favorite anime, right?

Speaker:

I wanna see some guy with a giant sword kill some bad guy and be like, alright.

Speaker:

Now time to go get some fried chicken.

Speaker:

I'm like, this is my guy.

Speaker:

This is, and then he's and then he makes mac and cheese in the oven.

Speaker:

And then you're like, ah, I can't, ah, I know mac and cheese in the ovens.

Speaker:

If you brings up craft mac and cheese that's when you're gonna lose me.

Speaker:

You make mac and cheese in the oven.

Speaker:

He's gonna throw some steaks on the grill.

Speaker:

I'm like, dude, this is, this guy is awesome.

Speaker:

Yeah, Mac and cheese and steak is probably the best combo ever.

Speaker:

I.

Speaker:
