ichigo is built different

I had a iPod shuffle I’ve moved so many times unfortunately I doubt I still have one

I had an iPod Nano 😂

Man I love bleach. I just finished the last arc before TYBW arc, and now you guys are watching it, perfect timing for a rewatch.

Jonas Teigen

The ending song was unskippable for me while watching first time.

Jonas Teigen

I don't think Ron overthinks when watching Naruto there was times they explained things right after Ron had a question and every time he acknowledged it, maybe just shows the writing in the goated show but he's right if I was in ichigo shoes I would b asking these things to

Andreww

Yes!!

Draken of Toman

Double uploads please 😭

Facts I can’t wait for them to see tybw😭

Ichigo is so good at fighting because he already has a lot of experience. He often fights with his father, but also beats up some jerks, as we saw in the first episode. And I wouldn't say Ichigo is good with the sword. In my opinion, at first he just swings it around trying to hit the Hollows and only learns how to use it properly over time. That's why Rukia told him in this episode not to just swing his sword around when Orihime's brother attacked him. This alone shows that he doesn't have much experience with swords. And to explain the Konso thing: Ichigo is actually a very smart and confident MC. If he knows and is sure how something works, he doesn't ask questions but just does it. He's not one of those MCs who are insecure about themselves and lacking self-confidence at the beginning of the story, like Deku for example. In this case he is a lot like Luffy, just damn confident and doesn't ask unnecessary questions, just acts according to what he feels is right. And I would just say, don't ask so many questions Ron and let them distract you from things that are happening. All your questions will be answered, don't worry. Bleach is generally very good at explaining the world and its rules.

Let's go sanji

Conflicted cus I rlly want double uploads for Bleach, especially since it’ll make it possible for you guys to catch up w the ongoing seasons. But also don’t want it to end super fast 😭

nicosded

me too haha

Minh Phạm

Wow, LimeWire, that bring me back

Beroth

I know Bleach is an excellent and banger series but it is not in my Top 5. Don't get me wrong, I love Bleach and it is in my Top 10. If you leave out the shoujo anime, it is my Top 5 for Shounen anime.

Phyllis

It really is one of the better dubs.

Ren S.

You mean G or U? 🤭

Phyllis

Like Michelle explained, Rukia did 'konso' in front of Ichigo and also explained with her Usagi(rabbit) drawing so Ichigo probably assumed he could do the same to let souls move on. As for how and why Ichigo seems like a natural, you'll have to continue to watch the show. 🤭 Ichigo is probably good at fighting because of his upbringing cause you know how he fights around at home with his dad everyday. 😂 Ron go ahead and overthink as you might just predict the whole story and it's plot. I think for you Bleach would beat AOT and Demon Slayer after you finish the series.😁

Phyllis

this might be close minded because I dont know a lot about japanese culture, but in anime is this why they refer to siblings as oni chan and ni chan instead of their given names?

Cameron Navarro

Ive always wondered why family names come first in japan, its interesting the commonality of using it to refer to an individual in most cases, when in america we identify so much with our given names. Ichigo and rukia refering to orihime as inoue is what made me look into this. lol

Cameron Navarro

Damn even Rukia got the flip phone haha

Brandocommando

I just can’t wait til you hear the words………….if you guys know you know

Brandocommando

The anime "Bleach" is named so because the creator, Tite Kubo, wanted to evoke the color white, which is associated with purity and cleansing, even though the Shinigami (the main characters) are often depicted in black clothing; essentially, "bleaching" something black would turn it white, thus relating to the series' themes and the concept of soul purification

Brandocommando

I agree ron, ain't know way im stampin the little guys forehead without making sure im doing it properly first. I am a big overthinker though and typically thats how i operate in new experiences.

Cameron Navarro

24:18 when Michelle immediately realized where Rukia's 'home' was even before Rukia came out of the closet XD

Phyllis

Bro y'all would 100% ask Rukia a question before sending a spirit off for the first time after just getting the ability the day prior and just seeing how to do it ONCE lol Ron isn't wrong

Carter San

i believe the series is called Bleach as a call out to Ichigo's Orange "Bleach Blonde" hair which was super unusual in Japan and often a sign of rebellion or delinquency, suggesting people assume Ichigo is a delinquent cause of his RBF and his hair, when it's actually his natural hair color and demeanor.

Mike Jfrog

Life is like a boat. That's the song

Coopy

I haven’t seen the first episodes in so long it’s damn near new episodes to me 😂

Dwayne Townsend

Ron, it sounds like you're not HIM. And Ichigo is just HIM. He don't ask questions he just do. And don't worry most of your questions will be answered in do time. :]

Grim

The drawings were really good too

Alex

Ron she literally explained everything and even drew it out in episode 1

Ricky Pham

for me its 1. OP 2. Samurai Champloo 3. Bleach 4. Naruto 5. JoJo

Surya

Agamotto gets really deep into it as well, but he just posts discussions on the manga (and anime) as he reads it for the first time. He's up to the lost agent arc on YouTube now, pretty good.

Alex

I forgot how long it takes until the fire bleach OST starts playing

Surya

He's also a bit of a delinquent. His introduction starts with him handing out an ass whooping. Dude fights all the time and is good at it

Alex

Can't wait until a certain character gets introduced. Let's see if you know who his VA also plays in a big show 😉

Luis Miguel Gomez

I’m caught up on bleach I completely forgot that they did that for souls to pass on

98slick

i havent watched these early episodes in years. so nostalgic. it starts slow but by episode 20 it takes off big time.

taymone

Losing battle, but Bleach is so much better in English btw

The CulturedGentleman

Limewire was the goat back then. I had this song on my iPod shuffle too LMAOOO. One device for music and another device (my flip phone) for calling. hahaha

JaJa

This is one of them shows that you gotta do 2 episodes every upload

Prodigy_x

Mine Bleach, Naruto (neck and neck), One piece

Tingz

Yeah, I'll happily give Bleach that, definitely best pilot of the Big 3. Hands down. Strongest verse powerscaling-wise too.

Henz

Oh yea you’re right that makes more sense . I was thinking Michelle meant rukia did the actual konso act on someone several times when it was done once but I see what u mean since rukia explained it

Tingz

sadly at this point Naruto has the worst animation out of the big 3

Luchi

Everything will be answered! The souls that don't pass on, Rukia said it in this episode "they linger from regret" & something else I'm not remembering. Bleach is stupid influential with a LOT of the newer shows in one way or another.. I'm hyped.

ra-TH_

Was thinking the same thing

Sharkcity

Just to be clear, my top 3 are One Piece, Bleach then Naruto. Solo Levelling in 4 and 5 is a debate between Demon Slayer and AOT. But the top 3, we grew up on those so they are ingrained in my soul lol

The CulturedGentleman

That would be some horrible shit to say as someone is dying “Don’t, die. Don’t leave me alone” if I passed while a loved one said that I could never rest in Peace.

Saith Uchiha

It could just come naturally to Ichigo with how to use a sword, but he is also always fighting with his dad, so maybe through years of fighting with his dad he's got a little bit of experience.

Shadowstep2010

As a 25 year old I can confirm that Ichigo looks far older than me

Saith Uchiha

As for how Ichigo picks it up so quick, he is actually a very smart, quick-to-learn protagonist (most shonen protags are either very normal nonspecial or just straight up geniuses). Unlike those tropes he is just a really cool smart protag (not genius). Personally I like this a lot as I dont need my protag to start from nothing and go through a long learning process (no shade on Naruto and Deku, love em but a ton of protags are like that and this was such a breath of fresh air).

Ronald Bohne

Ichigo asked what she did to the old man. She explained it by going over it with the drawings in that booklet. She said Soul Reapers have 2 jobs. Konso spirits, and Cleanse Hollows. So Michelles thinking is that from that explanation he knows to protect the spirit he needs to perform it. Wouldn't be a hard thing to remember. You only have 2 jobs that she went over.

Shadowstep2010

Ah in highschool I thought her name was “Oral Gimme”.

Saith Uchiha

Michelle acting like the first day on a new job you dont ask a dozen stupid questions that were gone over in training. lol but seriously Ichigo is rather uniquely confident in who he is and rarely shows fear....

William Glasgow

100 percent YaboyRocklee is one of the few reactors that understand this concept with Bleach. Other reactors only see the surface level actions and don’t understand the difference philosophies and nuances within Bleach

Ichigoat

Ichigo took martial arts as a kid and fights his dad daily it’s all natural ability I’d say

Ichigoat

this has to be triple all day bby

Ron Jackson Jr

More bleach let’s goooo this was a great video btw congrats on 200k on YouTube 🎉

Facts

Kayso

Yes! And even just listening period and vibing out. Shiro Sagisu is a musical genius

Kayso

As much as I wanted to spoil all over your Naruto reactions … I’m not going to do that with Bleach. That being said … there is a term in the LARPing community “FOIG” meaning find out in game… Bleach actually does a pretty good job of explaining just how deep the rabbit hole goes, but you have to wait. You are about a thousand years away from knowing the truth of this universe … just enjoy the ride.

Seamus Lennon

That's my ranking too

Kayso

Also like every other 2000 anime it starts off slow and starts picking up around ep 20

certified

When I first watched bleach and I asked why I think it’s called bleach and why I think it’s called bleach cannot explain atm. But all the bleach fans agreed that sounds like the most logical conclusion. I don’t think what you’re saying was confirmed by the author at all. If it is please leave a liable reference then I have no doubt what your saying is confirmed true

Saith Uchiha

My ranking for the BIG 3 is Naruto, Bleach, and then One piece I’ve watched all caught up on all they all have there pros and cons they’re all great but honestly depending on how u guys are one piece might come out on top I hope not cause I truly believe Naruto is the best out of the 3 but bleach is a gurantee top 5 top 4 anime ur gonna watch

certified

Ichigo ain't like u Ron. He's a ginger like u but he learns fast. You should take notes from Ichigo. Ask questions later when he does the thing to the spirits get them to go heaven.

Ron Jackson Jr

My advice, let it flow. Definitely theory craft all day, it's fun to hear your thoughts, but all your questions will get answered, so don't stress too much about it, but some of them won't be answered directly for a very long time, and only hinted at

Alex

Ichigo has been shown to fight his dad pretty much daily and in episode 1 he beats up those skateboarders, he's really just swinging the sword around with raw power

Ryan

Valid take ron and ichigo is pretty capable. He's not really a weak human.

Gene B

blame it on the former studio director, rather than following directly Kubos work, he made his own "fanfiction"

XXI

take it easy, sensei

XXI

I like the way Ron thinks here

XXI

I remember having this conversation with the friend who introduced me to Bleach when I was 15. I thanked him for introducing the anime to me, the fights with Hollows were sick man, and he said "wait till you see the cap-".... From then on, my life was not the same.

Jasper Tan

they'll be jaw dropping and be saying every after episode was the best one👀

XXI

put them on while you're working out🫡

XXI

relax Ron, just enjoy the Bleach ride. until you get to the last arc😎 where everything culminates. lets see how Bleach crashes your tier list

XXI

I agree with Ron. Ichigo's fighting is too smooth and it's not explained why.

Coopy

Bleach is a show that usually rewards you for overthinking so don't be afraid to look too deep into dialogue, world building, and characters

Ryan

Na rukia only did the konso one time on the old dude idk why Michelle thinking it happened twice or several times

Tingz

Yes Ron this is definitely your type of show I love how u already hyping it up off ep 1 all about power of the tongue and manifestation lmao

Tingz

PETITION FOR 2 EPS PER UPLOAD!!

ichigo421

damn ron overthinking again haha

Adam

"Bleach is now my number one" Ron out here refrencing shit on accident😂

Usher

Yea especially tybw with all the fights and gore

ichigo421

Why is this not double episodes like Naruto? The show continues on disney+ so there is a lot of episodes.

Coopy

You’ll learn why it’s called bleach later. In the last arc TYBW it will make sense.

Soulrebel0902

It's called Bleach because Kubo wanted to call it White, a juxtaposition between the title and the soul reapers' black clothes, purification in death, that sort of thing. But then he called it Bleach because he liked the sound of that better and bleach still alluded to the idea of white

Alex

It's really not worth even discussing. Might as well be discussing Rocky Balboa vs Goku. It just isn't relevant and it's honestly an annoying topic. It's a fiction, the character is as strong as the writer wants them to be.

Alex

I see where both Ron & Michelle are coming from. Ichigo is smart and picks up on things quickly, he isn't the typical idiot MC, so when he seen Rukia do the Konso he thought of what she did and applied it to the kid. A cool thing I noticed is Bleach and Death note starts off alike with showing the underworld and the spirits/shinigami. Slight similarities. As for why it's called Bleach there are various reasons. People in the comments explained, I'll explain it as we move further in the show. 13:29 Yes they noticing the ost's. Just wait it's gonna be a lot more iconic ost's yall are gonna hear so get ready 😌 Bleach soundtracks are chefs kiss

Kayso

It's because he wanted to call the manga white, as a symbolic contradiction of the shinigamis' black clothes, and thought bleach sounded cooler than white and still alluded to white.

Alex

Drop two at a time it’s gonna take awhile to get thru this show😭

KeiseiWatx

I have a feeling you'll rate it higher than Demon Slayer and AOT tbh. People resonate with different shows so for me Bleach is number one above Naruto, One Piece and AOT. Bleach’s aesthetic was and is always pleasing to me compared to the others, the little nuanced poetic writing and foreshadowing is crazy, fights are crazy, characters are amazing etc And since One Piece also gets crazy like Bleach I think it'll end with the Big 3 as your top 3.

Ichigoat

Yeah especially when TYBW comes. I have a good feeling Ron will love it

Ichigoat

Ichigo is an honor student. He’s not the typical dumb protagonist. Plus he’s had experience with ghosts since he was a kid. I think he was able to adapt quickly after seeing Rukia perform all of the duties of a soul reaper. Also I wouldn’t really say he has experience with swinging swords he’s just relying on brute force to carry him through slaying these hollows. He’s been in a lot of fights growing up so he’s combining his strength and intelligence to adapt quickly.

Chipper

Ah ok I figured from what he was saying just never heard the term pilot, cool

Tingz

Pilot is the first episode of a series

Steadi

I watched Naruto before bleach and it was my favorite, while I watched Bleach there were times where Bleach and Naruto would be interchangeable. Therefore, I really think you guys will love bleach. And will atleast be top 5. Good thing is they're still new episodes coming out that will blow minds.

Mauricio Vidrio

Can someone explain to me what pilot means? What Ron is saying at the beginning

Tingz

Sorry Ron bleach knocks AOT and Demon slayer lmao you’ll see. U will get the same feeling as when you watched Naruto . Imo bleach has the best 1st episode of the big 3

Tingz

Sounds like a goofy joke, but Bleach is called Bleach because Bleach disinfects germs and purifies a space, like how Shinigami extinguish hollows to purify the area they invade. He also wanted a contrasting image to the black Shinigami robes.

Mason

I think you guys should probably watch two. It picks up after episode 17 I believe.

Soulrebel0902

But not better than bleach

Tingz

lol zoro gets smoked sorry , but u haven’t watched bleach though so you’d have to see

Tingz

Some manga/manhwa have crazy, amazing art which elevates it outside of a story. For example, Solo Leveling manhwa is incredible in the art and the design of each of the pages. I would highly recommend reading one of the fights in Solo Leveling, then read a fight in another manga and you'll see the difference

Conan

I am predicting Ron's big 3 ranking will prob be Naruto, Bleach, then One Piece. Ngl I feel like Naruto is prob gonna stay. I feel like One Piece isnt Ron's type of anime while bleach is based on the stuff I seen him react to (and not looking at the tier list).

Ultimate Winner

not having watched bleach, I can't wait to see where we land on the zoro vs. ichigo debate Ron

Jonathan

🙏🏼

Steadi

These single drops are killing me rn 😭 😂 I need more 😅

Steadi

Are they only going to do 1 episode? It's a long series or are they going to do 2 episodes in the future?

Mario Garcia

lmaoo

지원

Bro they just started the show

Steadi

ichigo isnt already skilled as a shinigami hes just really strong raw power wise from taking most of rukias power in ep 1 as for being confident in using the ability that sends spirits away he probably knows the difference in good and evil spirits since he was able to see ghosts before this

Haruto

Ron's comments about Ichigo being a fast learner are very valid. Rukia didn't actually teach him Konsō (passing over ritual), she just performed it and explained what it meant. It'd make sense to wonder if there's more to it than just tapping the sword hilt on a spirit's forehead or w/e.

Kwuagga

He’s not the average dumb anime protagonist

Keiji

Have you guys seen the TYBW part 3 opening?

Bleach Sensei

apparently bleach was gonna be a anime about guns and the series was called snipe, but then he decided to make it about swords and the first title was black, but he felt it was too basic as was the inversion white, so he named it bleach referring to how he bleached the shinigamis clothes, i assume that means the belt and inside of the clothes, rukia was also created before ichigo

Haruto

i remember i was asking the same question on why they call it bleach i dont remember it 100%, but they kinda bleach souls, two i think the author wanted to name it white but it was a generic name and changed it to bleach and because he basically bleached the clothing

Str8vib3s

AOT is the best.

Thiago Gaspar

orihime is so cute

지원

I kinda miss the humor parts of Bleach..TYBW is epic af but the humor is part of what makes the OG nastalgic..gave the characters more depth..plus the OST lol

Miggie88

Your forgetting about the aot pilot I think but I feel you

Tre

Okay, important thing to know about Orihime’s first scene is that is NOT how it happened in the manga. In the manga she’s eagerly waiting for Ichigo show up in class(daydreaming about him) and Tatsuki asks what she even sees in him. She replies that she finds his scowling face funny, and when Ichigo does show up she gets all embarrassed and bashful. She’s not intimidated by him in the slightest like shown here. As you can see, this is DRASTICALLY different compared to what the anime portrayed. And it paints a completely inaccurate picture of Ichigo and Orihime’s relationship from the start. This is not only the time the anime team would do this…
