He said he was zangetsu from the start, nobody believed him tho

i love how the hollow version of himself is so creative about his versions of their attacks

This man played the monster/bad guy just to push ichigo to obtain new heights and improve himself. Kinda like a teacher reminding their student on what they could lose if they don't put in the effort. That's a real OG right there

I use to get mad when ichigo wouldn’t let the goat out

“Ichigo’s the only one around here who’s regular!” Dude, his soul is practically a jigsaw puzzle where the pieces keep swordfighting.

Does a stranger become your friend just because you ask him for his name zangetsu just exposed the entire Naruto series 😂

The fact that he's revealed to actually be Zangetsu this whole time, and yet we can't help but refer to him as Hollow Ichigo still, really makes you realize how much of a character he's been early on

Zangetsu spent the whole show telling ichigo the truth and ichigo ignored him everytime holy crap

I don't care what anyone says, hollow ichigo legit carried this whole show. Plus omfg the way he spins around the zanpakuto was sick as hell.

Ichigo got carried by Zangetsu, no wonder he's the Horse. He Helped him survive a slash with his mask, helped him beat kenpach, byakuya, kariya, Ulquiorra, Aizen, pretty much every person he fought with his mask too

“Who are you?” “What kind of stupid question is that? I am who i am” Zangetsu being the goat😂🤣

Zangetsu : Getsuga Tenshou" The subtitles : "Yes you got tension"

0:55 "who cares, I don't have to tell you anything because as soon as I finished with you, you're going to--Dissapear!" very good timing, Ichigo.

The fact that he’s been training him in his own way is always been amazing to me

You'd think Zangetsu is evil because of the way he acts and the fact he's a Hollow, but he's actually a neutral, or even a "good" character, if you think about it.

Johnny Yong Bosch really did a great job playing both Ichigo and Zangetsu. They wouldn't be the characters we love without some phenomenal voice acting.

I just realized he was the true Zangetsu all along and he even said it multiple times. He probably acted the way he did because he was upset by the way Ichigo didn't recognize him at all, even tho he always helped or saved Ichigo

It makes sense, Shinigami learn their zanpakutou's name. And just keep calling on them for support, but very few of them have actual friendships with their zanpakutou. Even Ichigo just ignored the White Zangetsu for the longest time.

"Tell me how did you learn bankai!" "isn't it obvious? I learnt it the same time you did!" Literal fact.

Every time ichigo was on the brink of death it was his hollow who saved him... Zangetsu never doubted his own strength even for a moment!!!

2:34 if only he has listened and believed him things would have been so different

0:15 Zangetsu been lowkey supporting Ichigo since day😭I’d be mad too, how u callin out my name and using my abilities just to wish I was never here.

Zangetsu had his identity stolen.

0:49 When Hollow Ichigo said "E", I felt that 😔

You know what I find weird, zangetsu used the weapon in ways that brought out its true potential, like spinning it around by the strap to increase reach and make a protective circle,but not once did ichigo actually think of trying it out. He just insisted on using it as a simple sword

2:44 "Did you say that he's been keeping me suppressed" that hits different now

He was such a troll no one belived when he said he was Zangetsu xd

“Tell me.. does a stranger become your friend just because you ask him for his name?, don’t you get it partner that’s exactly what you’ve been doing.” This hits so different once you know the truth.

Zangetsu the type of person to wear black and white air forces cause he has sauce and he's always activated

“What’s the difference between a King and His Horse?” - White Zangetsu.

3:10 man zangetsu is being so honest with him

I like how when someone ask who he is he ignore the question but demand a answer when he ask someone who they are

Summary: When Ichigo's Zanpaktou goes on auto-pilot then SHIT'S BOUT TO GET REAL FAST!!" ask Ulqiorra lol.

I love rewatching these after finishing the manga. He's been telling Ichigo he was Zangetsu the whole time and his dialogue backs this up from lines like "My power", "Just because you learn someone's name doesnt make you friends" and His speech about a King and his Horse (refering to Shinigami and Zanpaktou). Love this series and hope Kubo continues it

Anyone else notice how Ichigo copies Zangetsu (White)? He copied his Getsuga he used with Byakuya. When he used it differently during their iconic fight, by flashing with Ichigo then releasing Getsuga! Ichigo copied it in his second fight with Grimmjow by clashing with him then releasing it. He spins his sword around on Sogyoku hill like Zangetsu did and he grabbed Aizens face and yeeted him into the ground like Zangetsu did to him.

3:31 One of the Best and well delivered lines in my opinion. "Don't act like you don't know me"

I love white zangetsu English voice jyb naild it

Zangetsu > any bleach character

The beauty of hollow Ichigo is that he has been protecting ichigo this whole time and the only reason he was taking over ichigo is because ichigo hated him and didn't accept him so it was that reason his powers didn't fluctuate properly. We get this beautiful reveal when ichigo accepts hollow ichigo and tense zangetsu. Hollow ichigo always loved and protected ichigo even when ichigo hated him. That's true friendship

White was just the hidden gem of this series. He’s mysterious, protective, and even psychotic. He’s like an Anti-Hero. And that’s why we love him! Anti-Hero’s are some of the most interesting characters in media and White just personifies that concept to a T!

Well hollow ichigo is more like a overprotective sadistic sibling that does not know how to show their love and care.

00:41 he pretty much called Ichigo a basic bitch, and I live for this...

His sass never fails to amuse me lol

looking back… White had a real tough-love relationship with Ichigo. It’s crazy how it just seems like he’s a bastard but in actuality he’s probably just being supportive in a harsh way

hollow ichigo is pure black airforce energy. Straight hype every time he came on

Zangetsu is such an awesome character

3:08 You're laughing. He's telling us we're being played for a fool and you're laughing.

So, basically, literally every time he’s on screen✨✨✨✨I was and always will be a Shiro Zangetsu stan💕💕💕

3:21 As you can see, Ichigo has a great relationship with his Zanpakuto.

Even in filler arcs, he had the best moments.

3:10 This is literally Zangetsu asking Ichigo: "WTF BRO, that ain't how this shit works, did you think it would be this easy?"

@2:30 Dang he really told us something that took 540-something chapters to be revealed.... and nobody believed him 🤯

when white says "you think HE is the one keeping me suppressed?" im like oof.

2:40 that foreshadowing though

Things White did to Ichigo: 1) Saved Ichigo's life several times 2) Helped him in combat tons of times 3) Taught him tons of things, including FGT 4) Kept saying rude shit to Ichigo

"I keep saying that I am Zangetsu"

I find it so cool how zangetsu doesnt typically act insane when he's not around ichigo, as seen when he talks to the quincy counterpart within the inner world when ichigo isn't around

I just love him and was aways like "Why The Hate?!'

White really has to babysit Ichigo with the most sass. Whenever Ichigo is about to bite the dust he comes out fully really to fuck shit up

Johnny Yomg Bosch had range. He can voice both Ichigo and Hollow Ichigo at the same time

Hollow Ichigo is the best thing to ever happen to Ichigo The way he tricked Ichigo into thinking he was evil throughout most of the series was legendary

There is so much foreshadowing in this supercut, it's amazing!

Johnny really gave this character life

White: "You think he (Ichigo) is the one suppressing me?" White: "Am I wrong?" because Ichigo wasn't the one supressing him, it's 'old man zangetsu' all along

It's funny now that real Zangetsu says "are you ok with being a friend with a guy when you know only his name?" He wasn't asking about himself, funny

1:07 I love that foreshadowing showing Ichigo's true power

Bro after those last 2 episodes.. wow this hits a lot 😭😭

hollow ichi: "I am genuinely trying to help you please switch" Ichi: nah i rather get my ass beat

“I am who I am.” So the Hollow is Popeye?

this ENTIRE TIME i thought white ichigo was trying to take over his body and become the new ichigo but now that i see it back again he was really trying to protect him. think about it everytime ichigo was close to death or being absolutely slammed he would appear and white would try so hard to stop ichigo bleach is so good at showing minute details and letting the audience understand the meaning behind everything and people call it boring or lame and don’t know anything about the anime makes me sad but now everyone is on the bleach bandwagon now after 10 years just a bunch of false fans because the same ones who was hating are now the same ones watchin the newest season

When you find out that white was just trying to save ichigo

2:40 Spoilers for the manga, so don't read on if you've not read it. . I love how even in this filler arc, there is foreshadowing regarding the true identity of Hollow Ichigo. Juha Bach (or Ywach, I honestly don't know what his name is lmao), Ichigo's Quincy side, is the one suppressing him but the viewer wouldn't have any idea that this is the case until you start the TYBW arc. The fact that it was teased throughout the entire series is amazing.

0:30 best part the big guy "who are you?" zangetsu "who am i? How can u ask such a stupid! I am who i am!" me " well obviously dumbass! savage!!!"

To be fair every single time Zangetsu pushed him he did come out stronger in the end

Ichigo is his own enemy, it's kinda funny.

“Does a stranger become your friend just because you asked for he’s name” all makes sense after the new bleach

I’m finna say this with my whole chest white ichigo was better than every character in the show like literally everything ichigo learned that wasn’t bland or boring he got from white ichigo and even than white ichigo still did it better than him and had the best one liners in the entire show even creating one of they most memorable speeches in the show so well known some people who haven’t watched the show still know it

We never believed that he was actually the real Zangetsu!

His laugh is awesome

Kind of funny that the source Ichigo's power, the guy who wants to save and protect everyone, are the manifestions of the two most evil things in the world that want to destroy everything. If he does become the new Soul King, white's "king" jabs, will be even funnier.

Pretty sure white was the representation of Ichigo’s hollow and soul reaper powers while old man zangetsu was the quincy powers of Ichigo

2:35 even for a filler arc, I love how this exchange hints on the reality of Zangetsu.

Thanks for this video, i'm loving it

We gonna ignore how he just goes "Hey, king 👉👑 this is for you."

I always thought of Hollow Ichigo as Ichigo’s suppressed trauma, violent tendencies, anger, chaos. That’s why he looks like Ichigo but his characteristics are those of a hollow yet his personality is that of Ichigo.

“I must admit it never ceases to amaze me how brainless you can be. You’ve lost your weapon; why are you just standing there? Ichigo! What’s the difference between a king and his horse?” “And I’m not talking about obvious stuff, like one’s and animal and one’s a person or one has two legs and one has four, form ability and power; that’s what’s puzzling, if there form, ability and power are exactly the same, why is it that one becomes the king and leads them to battle while the other becomes the horse and carries the king; so what’s the characteristics that distinguishes these two beings? There’s only one answer INSTINCT!” “In order for identical beings to get stronger and gain power, they need to develop a killer instinct, and that instinct is mostly forged in battle!” “They must develop an insatiable hunger to engage in battle; they must live to mercilessly crush, shred and slice their enemies, this thirst for power is not a unnatural desire, in fact it forms the very essence of our beings; deep within our body lies the whole instinct to dominate and slaughter our enemies. My friend you don’t have that, you try to use your brain to win a fight, you attempt to defeat your enemies with reason and logic, you don’t tap into those pure base instincts that exists within your core waiting to be released!” “And the simple matter is that it doesn’t work, your weak ICHIGO!, I won’t put up with that, am I clear?” “I don’t know about Zangetsu, but I refuse to play horse to a king who’s weaker than me, someone who’s uncertainty and hesitation will end up getting us both cut to pieces. If you aren’t willing to assert your strength and retain the crown, then I’ll destroy you.” Which mean’s I’ll be king.“- Hollow Ichigo.

2:00 As a main character of my life, I feel a deep connection with me and myself in this dialogue. Idk how to tell. But I love you, Zangetsu. Your words makes me cry and you try to hide it with a joke. I feel like I am Ichigo and I have Zangetsu within. That zangetsu is hope and belief and preserverance to fight with all my might to the end and become successful in everything that I want.

no cap ichigo could of died alot of times if hollow ichigo wasint there

This video so important right now wow

The entire time he was the true Zangetsu and the Juhabach copy was more of a sheath trying to stop him from going full shinigami.

Zangetsu keeps saying he's Zangetsu Ichigo: .... Ywach(Quincy): Yeah

The way he got so offended when Muramasa insinuated that Ichigo was keeping him suppressed 🤣 cause it was Old man Zangetsu the whole time

3:17 why didn't ichigo use this attack more it looks so sick

Ichigos the only one around here who's regular😂

2:40 If you know, you know.

Ichigo is the only 1 here who is regular 😭😭😭💀🤣🤣🤣 bro dissed him so bad

Best character in the whole series. It broke mu heart when he stopped speaking after coming out.

He just want protect ichigo

If only i had a partner like zangetsu
