Imagine backhanding a black hole lol

Dangai Ichigo just has that vibe that he can beat virtually anyone in the verse. He may not the absolute strongest but he has that vibe that he is. It's awesome

Dangai Ichigo seemed so incredibly powerful that as a kid I was mad that he even used mugetsu. To me it looked like he could have simply beaten Aizen as he was at that point. I understand now that Aizen was basically immortal and would just surpass him with the Hogyoku eventually, but as a kid I was thinking Ichigo had him so outclassed.

When you were talking about Ichigo's depression after the Soul Society arc, I felt that

Ichigo's potential is insane. Imagine throwing him in the hyperbolic time chamber for a year 1+ 😳

Dangai Ichigo is the embodiment of early 2000s edgy fashion and I love it

This moment in the series will never not be hype.

the edits where you describe what's happening then ichigo does it were simply perfect

Ichigo always had endless potential, however after soul society arc up until his encounter with tensa zangetsu, doubt and despair began imbuing into him (as mention by gin ichimaru during their fight and afterwards by tensa zangetsu) that nerfed his abilities. Ichigo in this state was still able to sense aizen that foreshadowed how his abilities would exponentially increase once he would regain his resolve. His stamina feat is much astonishing, considering he spent 3 months training and straight up went to dominate aizen of all people.

Dangai Ichigo was so raw

People say Ichigo is a hollow and bland protgonist, but even when his sole Motivation is being able to protect his friends, Ichigo has shown so many layers that at least to me resemble a real person

This form is one of my all time favourite variants in many a history. Not only bcuz of design and it's feat but also what this form represent, everything Ichigo went through mentally and physically. Its just a very poetic form.

After looking back at the design of Final Getsuga Tenshō and contemplating the implications of the appearance of Ichigo's shihakusho in bankai, as well as Getsuga Tenshō's evolution throughout the series as a technique till the point of Mugetsu's utilization, I've arrived at a conclusion of sorts. Final Getsuga Tenshō might not even be a separate form. I think it's simply what occurs when Dangai Ichigo uses Getsuga Tenshō. Initially, Getsuga Tenshō is just a jagged and unkempt, almost, linear wall of immense reiatsu, then we see black Getsuga, which is more consistent throughout, so to speak, and fluid, like a traditional wave. We then see it wrap around Zangetsu, and I suppose the final stage of Ichigo's merging with Zangetsu(s) would see that the Getsuga enshrouds not only Zangetsu in black reiatsu, but Ichigo's own body, seeing as the two have become so intimately linked. Really explains why FGT's features are the same midnight black as white's own signature black Getsuga Tenshō; that's exactly what it is, it's the reiatsu gathered by performing a normal Getsuga (in bankai) which would usually converge around Zangetsu, converging instead upon him. It's just that now both halves of his soul are accounted for in that Getsuga, I suppose. It makes sense that this would happen too, in a way. His shihakusho is representative of his reiatsu, so it being drastically altered by him forcing out _all of it_ makes sense. We interestingly see it similarly disperse as pure reiatsu upon Ichigo's defeat at the hands of Ulquiorra where he was run through the heart, revealing his standard shihakusho beneath. He was not _at all_ lying when he said he _became_ Getsuga, he is literally wrapped in one made of his very reiryoku. Also, I appreciate the poetic beauty of Mugetsu, for when Ichigo uses it, his slaying moon is no more, and laid to rest, replaced, instead, by a tranquil moonless sky. Kubo is goated.

The "mountain destruction" was never about them using spiritual pressure, but rather just the deflected offshoot kinetic energy obliterating mountains as they continuously swing their swords. Aizen casually launched a blast that out performed nuclear warheads just to "show off" his new strength to ichigo, but he could have easily launched 6 of those at the same time.

I will always love how the fight with Aizen didn’t play out ANYTHING like I had predicted, or like a lot of Shonen anime. The fact that Ichigo could not only wipe the absolute floor with Aizen, but feels somewhat “sad” (for lack of a longer, deeper breakdown) about how outclassed Aizen is…man…it was just a great final battle. 🙂

Was there a chance that once obtaining the ability to perform 'mugetsu', Ichigo indirectly lost the capability to use the "normal" Getsuga Tenshou? In the sense that, if he mentally decided to use the technique, Zangetsu and Ichigo would just transform into Getsuga himself, initiating the final Getsuga Tenshou. Almost like a condition: the next Gestuga Tenshou WILL be your final, period. Edit: grammar

This video is awesome. Not only does it describe in detail just how ridiculously powerful Ichigo is (and other characters in relation to him), it pays homage to Kubo's incredible writing. I learned a lot of things I didn't know or even think about when reading and watching Bleach in the past. I really enjoyed this and I'm excited for your future videos, keep up the great work Clyde!

Your intro for this video is the most succinct summary of Ichigo's progression (Soul Society Arc --> Dangai) I've seen. I'll definitely keep this video bookmarked for when I have to try to explain this to others. Very nice work.

This was Ichigo's ultimate form and power to take down Aizen. Seeing Aizen just lose it was a sight to behold.

the amount of work Clyde put into his videos is jaw dropping to the point i get excited for his next vid

A 29 min video on Dangai Ichigo, I'm ready

Amazing analysis of Dangai Ichigo's power and narrative of Bleach. Also - powerscalling on Bankai Yamamoto? HYPE IS REAL.

I think the reason some people think that the fragor feat makes Monster Aizen mountain level is because they forget about the whole reishi density thing. I think it was explained in the Isshin vs Grand fisher fight where Isshin talks about why captains don't walk around with skyscraper sized zanpaktou. It's very likely that the fragor was an incredibly dense reishi attack.

My hypothesis is that Mugetsu was meant to defeat both mentally and physically Aizen, as Urahara's seal activated because Hogyoku didn't recognize Aizen as his master after he was cleaved by Mugetsu.

Phenomenal editing, Clyde! And it's wonderful to finally see TYBW anime clips in your videos after years of waiting for it. Well done! Looking forward to more!

Aizen getting absolutely STOMPED by Dangai Ichigo is by far one of the most satisfying anime moments period

Idk if it is just me, but I like the evolution of the editing on the videos

so the way i interpreted the "mountain" feat was, not destroying a mountain by a shockwave, as there is no shockwave. Rather, the mountain, similar to how Aizen walks up to a human being, was just poofed out of existence. Like a shockwave would send a, well, a wave and destroy everything leading into the mountain, not just the mountain. It's funny how later Aizen's blade gets stopped, and an ACTUAL shockwave forms, creating a canyon as it's path just keep crushing the ground, yet when Ichigo and Aizen clash, it clearly shows there is some external force simply reaching the landmass and as illustrated in the manga, POOF. In the Anime, it even has the spiritual pressure effect and the mountain suddenly rises into the air and disappears. This would mean, effectively and unintentionally, Ichigo is erasing matter. Kind of compliments the idea that he can backhand a blackhole when you think about it. However, that was always just my interpretation i could be 100% wrong.

just imagine how much stronger he wouldve been if he had the same mastery of his quincy powers as his hollow and shinigami at this point

Also Mugetsu's design is cool. I didn't get the bandages at first either but there is a reason for it. As is common knowledge by this point in Bleach there is a release beyond Bankai where in you merge with your Zanpakuto. Aizen has this Dangai Ichigo has this. The reason Ichigo is wrapped with Reiraku. Is because he wraps his first for Shikai with them and it's meant to show he has merged with his Zanpakuto. Also them being Black is meant to show his transcendence. Also he has red eyes just like Yhwach.

Banger vid again Clyde. Prior to this video I definitely felt as though Dangai Ichigo needed to be explored a bit more.

Love your work man! I've been a fan since the beginning. I never get tired of your analysis. You're the man!

Awesome video as always Clyde! 🔥🔥🔥

If communication is the key between a zanpakto and a shinigami... Dangai Ichigo is the state where they are so in sync they no longer have to communicate. Hence his stillness. Edit: It's a solution to the "King and the Horse," riddle Ogihci presented to him before. You don't have a power struggle if you're both the horse and the king, and, hence, no waste whatsoever in power or decision. It's not that Ichigo _gained_ power, it's that he simply stopped wasting it.

I feel like a lot of the attacks power of Bleach are Compressed to an insane Level to not cause collateral Damage

The way you put it makes the most sense, honestly. And just regarding Ichigo in general, it's actually quite interesting and mysterious that he even has a zanpakuto. From what we know in TYBW, Oetsu is the only person capable of making them and Ichigo just poofs one into existence, albeit not a fully realized one. Although I'm not 100% certain it's because of the Hogyoku that was in Rukia's chest at the time, it could be capable of manifesting an approximation of a physical zanpakuto given everything else it's been shown to do. Dangai Ichigo and Aizen both became *approximations* of the strength of the Royal Guard, somewhere between normal Shinigami and Royal Guard. Therefore, the pre-TYBW Zangetsu sword is an approximate replica of a standard zanpakuto, with the obvious differences being that it holds Ichigo back somewhat power-wise and it didn't start as an asauchi. I doubt that many characters in the Bleach universe are able to tell it's not a real zanpakuto, maybe Aizen, Urahara, or Mayuri could. Though, from what we've seen in the TYBW anime so far, Mayuri doesn't seem to be able to tell. This is more of an on-the-spot ramble, but I think it's an interesting topic to think about and/or fully work out with enough time and effort.

I honestly love you going into the nuance of Ichigo's character and motivation as the story goes on. I've written off Bleach because what I have seen and read just didn't vibe with me, but I think you're getting me to be willing to give it another honest try

Just gotta say your videos are great, always super high quality and entertaining. Your original Mugetsu Ichigo video is what got me into Bleach so I thank you very much.

Phenomenal video, enjoyed sitting and listenting to this IMMENSELY! Thanks for the continued content. I am psyched for your TYBW videos!

i love the videos, I hope we see them more often with the return of the anime because these are amazing

When he shows up as dangi and his banki theme plays it’s one of my most favorite scenes in any anime every one shocked by the way he locks and how he looks so calm and confident with the theme it’s just epic

Goat Bleach youtuber. 🐐 Your breakdowns are elite. I love your mention of Ichigo's depression and would love to see a full analysis of it from you! Cheers brother.

Excellent video my friend. Appreciate the work you put into the analysis my man.

Favorite bleach KZfaqr . Always looks forward to Clyde vids

I like hearing u cover ichigos mentality because the actual personal changes he goes through + his motives seem underplayed by some folks. I know you’ve talked about it before but can u make a video just about his mental progression and motivations through the series?

Clyde video never disappoints.

This is the video I was waiting for from you, Clyde. Amazing video.

Thanks for another great and in-depth video ❤

Dangai is just too cool. This form is amazing he has drip bro everything about him screams strong AF

For those of you who don’t know Dangai Ichigo’s 5D

Morning coffee and a clyde video? shit sounds like a good time to me.

now that the war arc is out i needed a refresher! thanks!

Thanks for helping bring bleach back ND keeping it Relevant

Yes bleach scaling from someone who actually understands the series , thanks for the content your goated for this dangai is easily my favorite ichigo form beside vastlo lorde , stay blessed and us supporters seriously appreciate the high quality content every time.

This was really nice to see as an upload

The editing for this video is top notch. 👌

Wow. As a Bleach fan for almost a decade, I am blown away by what you were able to analyze here. This video is marvelous, just marvelous.

It's unfortunate there wasn't more time with dangai ichigo. By far my favorite look and the confidence that came with it.

Love these analysis bro

Always worth the wait 🤌🏽🔥

For me it was more about how they managed to show him exude confidence, power, and control in a matter-of-fact way. This version of Ichigo would make you feel that he already won the fight before it even started and he was already tired of it all, just with one look. Imagine if during the Cell arc, Gohan managed to reach SSJ 2 or even Mystic form earlier than intended (but the audience wasn’t shown this), came out of the training chamber, and days before the cell games even started he visited Cell and looked at him with actual pity and such sadness that communicated to the viewer that the fight was far, far beneath him and meaningless. It would give you the same chills, as you’d see Cell refusing to accept that internally every fiber of his being already accepted defeat, and he’s too ashamed to admit it.

The Cleaner governs Time and Space. An impressive feat indeed.

Love the videos man keep it up🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🔥

Amazing video Clyde

I've always knew that dangai ichigo is very underrated and insanely powerful. If you think about it ichigo was able to slam even monster aizen without trying at all. Just imagine how insanely powerful ichigo would be in dangai form if he was actually trying and was extremely determined like he was in the Soul Society arc, it would be fking crazy 🔥🔥🔥

Hearing him say mugestu in his Japanese voice still gives me chills. Fucking epic moment probably the most epic in the whole series.

such a beautiful video bro thanks

The Goat has returned to drop another Banger

I never knew people actually believe that Full Hollow was stronger than Final Getsuga. I really enjoyed the breakdown of his emotional state and plot relevancy to his massive power increase. Top tier stuff.

Hey Clyde, something I wanted to point out about the mountain evaporating in the dangai vs aizen fight. Aizens casual sword swings are not the ones whipping mountains away, its only when Ichigo parries the swing that the landscape is destroyed. The only swing Aizen makes that actually changes the landscape without contact like Ichigo's parries is his full power swing that Ichigo catches. Ichigo is so beyond Aizens power at that stage that his casual parrying of Aizens attacks do more damage than Aizens full power swings. Its probably not a super important detail but I figured I'd point that out.

Great video! Definitely opened me to some of just how insane this form actually is. Would love your take on Fullbring Bankai Ichigo's power sometime!

Thank u for the Bleach content Clyde :)

I feel like if Dangai Ichigo were excepted as a full on Shinigami rather then a substitute he'd be made Captain right away. His power level alone was insane in that form, or on the flipside the Soul Society could have seen him as an even greater threat then Aizen and turned on him, sealing him away as well.

Dangai Ichigo to me is like the graphic card GTX 1080Ti when it first came out, an absolute beast. Even Kubo, like Nvidia, realized his error and kind of brushed the incident under the rag, only having his majesty pay lip service to the transformation in one of his monologues. Sadly, it was the first & last time we saw young Tensa Zangetsu & full hollow white with his awesome mask in the same panel.

Dropping a banger video I see

Certainly the definitive dangai Ichigo vid. Gained a sub from me for sure.

With all of these details and everything we still get the "oh Bleach is hill level" and when shown proof that it's much higher in power they just deny it . But other than that awesome video will be rewatching it lots of small details that you put in makes it so much better

Dangai Ichigo gives you the feeling that this will be his final fight but also for his enemy

When Clyde uploads i comeback to life Edit: ik there’s prolly not much on his final bankai buh it’s a lil information on his last power up against yhwach a vid on that would be interesting.

Awesome video. Loved it.

Im pretty sure many people missed this but, ywach are basically being killed by Ichigo with gran ray cero getsuga and bankai getsuga. if it wasn't for his immortality, ywach would already been dead. That how powerful he is when he's at full power. Also the fullbring form, ywach proceed to invade soul society as soon as he know Ichigo is fighting quilge.

There's not a lot of character that can make even Aizen sweats.

I definitely missed ya doing Bleach vids Clyde

I never listen to this type of videos but you sir i love your video, well prepared definitely a sub just by this video

I really liked Dangai Ichigo tbh, in this form he's calm, cool and busted.

Yo Clyde I just wanted to say U are one of my main Inspirations when it came to KZfaq and I made my own bleach videos as well I already made two so Thank u very much for being such great content creator and keep up the amazing work!

Clyde dropped a banger 💯💯

Very nice work!

You mention Isshin being of a royal bloodline. If who I saw in the TYBW episode is Isshin, does that technically mean that Kukaku is family to Ichigo?

Dangai is the 3rd stage after bankai that a soul reaper can achieve where the zanpakuto starts to merge with the soul reaper body and Mugetsu is the 4th where is becomes one with the body (same was shown with Aizen's transformations) + all the powers that Ichigo has from all the other races. And now imagine all that but with his perfected zanpakuto.

Loved it. Great vid

Nice video clyde. I learned so much from you on Bleach, I thought it was the same as dragon ball z but just with swords but you cleary show in your videos there's more to it.

Hey Clyde, love your videos brother. Could you maybe explain how Ichigo's powerscaling works throughout the series (including manga would be great). Basically a video where you rank ALL of Ichigo's forms at different parts of the story by power. I've seen a lot of contention on this topic with people saying that his badge made him weaker and that somehow soul society Ichigo is stronger than the Ichigo who fights Ulquiorra the first time, and some even say soul society Ichigo is Ichigo's strongest form behind Vasto Lorde and Dangai. If you could explain this topic in a video I think it would clear up a lot of confusion for a big part of the community. Thanks!

Also goes to show how strong Aizen's immortality is if he survived Mugetsu. They really had to tie him to that chair because nobody is able to kill him.

Great video man!🎉

The legendary Clyde is back with a new bleach video

I still think it’s fully supported that even dangai ichigo is only a portion of his power, otherwise zangetsu wouldn’t have said that knowing he literally taught ichigo this form and trained him.

At 2:43 I'd like to mention that byakuya's dialogues can be interpreted in 2 ways , one being him just rejecting ichigo cuz he doesn't acknowledge him , second him being correct because as we know in tybw that was not his true zanpakutou and as byakuya said "a bankai can never be so small and giving just a stat boost in speed" cuz it wasn't his true bankai to begin with

Been waiting for this ngl

Clyde. We love you brother
