Which character would you like to see an analysis video for next? Let me know!

Benihime Shikai: Reconstructs reiatsu Bankai: Reconstructs reality

mayuri thinking hes outdone kisuke by creating nemu, not knowing kisuke already create two way way beforehand, which is jinta and ururu lmao

How Kisuke is friends with a royalty since childhood is something I wanted Kubo to have explained.

I liked how Urahara mostly used others to fight against Askin, only stepping up himself when he had to. Very much in line with his puppet master sort of personality.

I love the scene where he fights Aizen. Urahara "what are you looking at" Aizen, who is basically a god at this point "you, you interest me" Even if you are invincible Urahara is always a threat to be aware of.

I wish Urahara and Yhwach had some interaction with each other since he's the only war power that hasnt met the Quincy King

"This is war.... Ive planned 3000 different scenarios to make sure to come out on top"

In my opinion there is no better character in Bleach. I absolutely adore Kisuke Urahara, definitely one of the best characters in fiction.

Kisuke and Aizen are my favourite characters in Bleach. They just work well together. They are similar in personality yet different. They seem like two different sides of a coin. And they are without a doubt the two most intelligent characters in bleach. So their intellectual rivalry is interesting to watch.

Kisuke: What you don't need in battle is fear. Nothing will come of it. When you counter, you don't let them cut you. When you protect someone, you don't let them die. And when you attack, you kill.

What is crazy and what I love about kisuke is he is a great indicator for how strong an opponent is. For example, in the final arc when he goes bankai because of what Askin did and you knew it was serious instantly. For him to without warning no hesitation go bankai instantly tells you how bad the threat was of what he was fighting against. I love kisuke he is one of my favorite characters in bleach by far.

This is the bleach channel I've always wanted.

I never saw Kisuke as grey. I always see him as a hero/good. Even when his allies are endanger I rate him above Aizen in planning.

I wonder about the crossing t's and dotting i's thing. I feel as if maybe Kubo wrote Urahara, Aizen and Mayuri as different archetypes of people possessing superior intelligence. Each differing by their highest value/goal. Kisuke as superior intelligence that have chosen to serve the world. Aizen as one that have chosen to serve his own ego. Mayuri as intellect that have chosen to indulge into itself, to serve the spontaneous curiousity and ideas that itself produces.

If Urahara had seen Kyokasuigetsu, is it possible that his bankai could reconstruct a new set of eyes that would make him immune to the effects of Kyokasuigetsu?

MrTommo: "His last appearance in the canon manga was chapter 666." Me: *surprised Pikachu face*

Ukitake- his character is very strange. Yoruichi- just very interesting

I love how he would only tell people the bare minimum of what they needed to accomplish the task. If he told them the truth they’d probably get overwhelmed. One of the best characters in the series for sure. One of the few multidimensional members of the cast. Aizen the Superman and Kisuke the last man.

You know Kisuke stays blazed on that Soul Society Kush

Ii I remembered correctly, Kisuke was worried when he sent Hiroyi alone to investigate disappearing souls (Wizard's scene), but Kyoraku calmed him saying he should have more trust in his subordinates. I believe Kisuke learned how to act like a true leader, captain and what it means to be a shinigami.

Would Urahara not be the most powerful character in the series? He constantly hides his true ability, and very rarely shows his full strength.

Urahara Kisuke is truly one of the most interesting characters in the series, but it´s a shame that he is toned down in the last arc. Anyway, you did great job with this analysis and I can´t wait to see another video.

I always assumed that Kisuke was once offered a place with Squad 0 considering he had seen Kirinjis hot springs and the Soul king. He also founded the Institute for Shinigami Research and Development. And we know making a significant contribution to Soul Society is what's required to become a member of Squad 0.

Here’s my thing. Leaving Kisuke out of the end was interesting to me, specifically because we didn’t know if he died, which leaves a sort of ambiguous ending and gives this emotional backdrop to this story, since it literally seems like no one that’s too vital to the story dies except Yamamoto, Unohana, and Yukitake, and while they are important and liked characters, I do think , objectively, that most people liked Urahara more than these guys.

If we ever get another Novel I hope it is about Kisuke because he is really important to Kubo and he deserves it. He is my favourite Bleach character and one of my top favourite characters in anime.

Urahara’s bankai was everything I wanted it to be but it would’ve been better if we’d gotten to see more of it. His character was wasted, all the unanswered questions still stand: How does he know so much about the soul king, his childhood, etc. Also, am I the only one who thought it was hella weird that he didn’t interact with Aizen once he was freed from Muken?!?!

Urahara is basically the main reason bleach series is about lol.

I've always wondered how kisuke was able to examine Tenjiros healing springs. He either had to do it while the dude was at the soul King's Palace or a while he was still in soul society. Either the man knows a way into the soul King's Palace or he's a lot older than we think he is.

A man with a thousand plans before battle>>> this goes to show that he does everything to keep the stability that the soul king sought

"Hat and clogs man" has always been my fave... shows a bit of the good side of a "mad scientist" messing with things that no one else would but with good intentions vs almost all the other characters that are "scientists" shown as crazy or power hungry or sociopaths (or all of the above)

A Yoroichi and Urahara spin off would be pretty cool. Also I realize I have no idea how to spell their names. Huh.

Is it just me or does Kisukes Bankai seem more fitting for Shutara? Also interesting that Kubo said he wanted to draw Kisuke, Yoruichi, and Tessais past, its really downplayed but it seems lie Tessai is just as close to Kisuke as Yoruichi also this is a really interesting quote from the afterword from CFYOW; "-When Matsubara-san and I heard the story of Urahara and Yoruichi directly from Kubo-sensei, we immediately told him, "Kubo-sensei must draw this someday!" "We want to read it in manga form!""

Kisuke, is in a league of his own...doesn't have multiple background hereditary powers, or a hogyoku fused within him....but can go toe, to toe with anyone....and most likely win. My fav...

I like these kinds of analysis videos way more! People love to just focus on who is more powerful and who can kill who in Bleach and no one really talks about anything beyond that! Not everything should be about versus battles and power rankings and Zanpaktou abilities, hearing about character depth and story shows you have more respect for the series than many “fans” do

If Aizen is the Lucifer of Bleach, then that makes Urahara the archangel Michael. Which is fitting because he's the one who ultimately defeated Aizen.

Sajin Komamura. I know he isn't the most popular character in the series by any means, but he's been my favorite since his introduction. That said, he definitely got the short end in the since his fight in the Thousand Year Blood War. Though he has so much more depth than people give him credit for. He was the first to jump in (and get his ass kicked) by Aizen when the dude was in the middle of revealing his master plan. The man (or the anthropomorphic wolf dude turned human temporarily) goes from being incredibly calm, loyal, and wise to sometime having fits of passionate anger. Also, his special attack in Brave Souls and hearing him yell, "Kokujo Tengen Myo-oh... Dangai Joe!" gave me chills the first time I heard it. Though I'm biased. I love his Bankai.

I think Kisuke plays the Mentor figure as a whole with Ichigo's group. You see Kisuke telling Orihime to stay away from the Winter War before the War happens mainly because Orihime is a healer/shield, but also because Kisuke knows that Orihime is the Key to Vasto Lorde Ichigo who could feel if Ichigo is hurt, sad, happy extra. When you do Orihime's Please talk and discuss the Idea of Orihime being an Empath. Empath: (chiefly in science fiction) a person with the paranormal ability to apprehend the mental or emotional state of another individual.

Urahara's trait of being unpredictable allowed him to meticulously plan all predictable scenarios, which, of course, made him a war potential for that reason alone. His ethos boils down to law and order and strict adherence to the inherent structures that maintain stability above all else. He's the ultimate collectivist and has very little time for individualism, which is subsequently the primary difference between him and Aizen.

Theres no way he put that hogyoku into rukia to hide it from Aizen. He put it there to draw out aizen and clear his name.

The Humble shop keeper is a good front for a spy, assassin, mad scientist, master mind bad ass. Even tho he was banished he's still loyal to the soul society. They still use him as a contact, and a base of operation when they visit the world of the living. He for sure earned his way back into the soul society. Good info keep up the good work. I'd love to see one about Rongiku.

Urahara is my favourite, his Minecraft Hardcore death was so funny

Bro.... I just realized, your hair is just like Urahara

It's interesting to me that it is a recurring theme that he often avoids sharing important info with others.

I think that despite Ichigo being the protagonist, Urahara is the hero behind the veil. Ichigo was always just a calculated tool that Urahara utilized and that’s why he initially gave Ichigo his powers. Additionally, most of the arcs’ antagonists wouldn’t have been defeated had it not been for Urahara. He’s the puppeteer, the wizard the behind the curtain.

It may not be spelled out, but I always thought Benihime's power in shikai was pretty clear. Since Kisuke is the master manipulator of the series, his shikai allows him to manipulate energy as he sees fit, which his bankai takes to the nth degree by letting him manipulate anything. This is another mirroring of Aizen, Aizen can control what is perceived, while Kisuke can control what is

I’m glad kisuke was never the villain .

You and Tekking101 are my favorite anime/bleach tubers!

Happy Birthday Kisuke Urahara.

can we get a full breakdown of Can't Fear Your Own World when it releases? even if the videos are 1 hour+ ea. I'm down for that

If Urahara and Aizen worked together, they would've ruled the world.

This is what I love about Bleach videos and that’s how long some of us can go on talking about one aspect from the series like a character, recently found your channel Tom and glad to see another fanboy from the UK 👊🏻

Yeah Urahara is my favourite character, from since the beginning Kubo illustrated the whole ten steps ahead dynamic with the others very well I really wanted them flesh out the philosophical clash he had with Aizen,it would've been cool if they met and spoke in TYBW

hidden badass characters are some of my favorites, ishhin, kisuke, nimaya, mayuri, shunsui, etc.

I'd love to see your take on some of the Espada like Halibel or maybe even some of the Can't Fear Your Own World characters like Tokinada or Hikone. I love your videos and I'm really glad I managed to find your channel 😁

I really appreciate your conversation about Kiske very well thought out

OMG YESSS!! I was asking for this video from other youtubers for so long.

Philza really said- “imma pull a pro hammer move rn”

Love the new series keep up the good work

Kisuke created Ururu and Jinta before Mayuri even perfected Nemuri Nanago

Another nice vid bro. Love the vids so far

I never understood how Kisuke could just waltz into the Maggots Nest and free Mayuri when the authorities thought he was so dangerous that he was the only prisoner in chains.

i only started bleach about a month ago, and i find your videos just yesterday. its almost as if someone planned it... either way, love these videos and im looking forward to the future!

He's an okay dude.

love your videos man. keep up the good work!

Excellent analysis :) Would like some analysis on Ikkaku and Mayuri

Here's a theory from my friend on how Urahara became the master of the Hogyoku before Aizen: Aizen back in the Turn Back the Pendulum (TBTP) arc manipulated Urahara into using his hogyoku to treat the Vizards. In chapter 401 Aizen said he knew back when Urahara tried to reverse the hollowfication of the vizards that it's power wasn't to control the boundary between hollow and shinigami, because if it was they wouldn't become complete vizards. He doesn't explain why they wouldn't become complete vizards if the Hogyoku's power was to completely control the boundary between hollow and shinigami, but it's probably due to the fact that if it did Urahara would have simply reversed the hollowfication and turned the vizards back into regular shinigami. Reversing the hollowfication is what Urahara wanted to do anyway as he said so in TBTP Arc. With the Hogyoku's true power, the wish granting, I'm guessing that wouldn't be possible, because that power is limited by the power of the soul it's changing. Urahara knew the Hogyoku's true power wasn't manipulating the boundaries between the two races. So what would he do experiment in the next 100 years from TBTP arc? Experiment to figure out it's power. There's a hint that this happened in chapter 402, Aizen said that Urahara couldn't control the Hogyoku. Urahara says "That's right. At the time." So what does it take to control the Hogyoku? Ginjo in chapter 432 explains that all matter has souls and that with tools you've grown accustomed to, you can demonstrate a greater power than your usual self with it. When that happens he says you've understood the soul of tool. He explains that the souls of things are equipped with the ability to help their users by nature. So to control the Hogyoku he has to understand the soul of it through becoming accustomed to it, so he had to use it. So how did Urahara know that the Hogyoku was alive? He probably figured the Hogyoku was alive the same way Aizen did. In chapter 401 Aizen said to Isshin "I'm saying the Hogyoku has a mind of it's own." "I don't fault you for not realizing it, I only realized the truth about the Hogyoku after I became it's master." There's evidence in chapter 421 Urahara knew the Hogyoku had a mind, Aizen said his power was disappearing and Urahara replied "That's...the will of the Hogyoku." If Urahara knew the Hogyoku has a will, he knew it has a mind. How did he know the Hogyoku's will? Why would Aizen evolve, then lose his powers? Because Urahara was it's master at that moment, he willed that to happen. Urahara seemed to have known at the start of the battle Aizen would lose his powers. He explained to Aizen in chapter 421 he shot a kido seal with the level 90 kido into Aizen when he was the most vulnerable. He then said "it's finally activating", because Aizen's power had weakened. Urahara said in the same chapter "Hogyoku is saying...it doesn't recognize you as it's master." How would he know Aizen's power would weaken and that it didn't recognize Aizen as master, because Urahara was the master.

Appreciate it.

I think Mayuri and Aizen see Kisuke as someone that's 'betrayed' them, rather than seeing him as smarter, I think it's more the 'focus' of their drives, Mayuri is as smart as the other two, but he seems to lack their drive/focus, Aizen was only focused on making himself stronger than the other shinigami, Kisuke pulled a batman and thought about how to resolve that situation. Also, Urahara definitely had less eyes on him than the other two

Crazy how you're almost at 200 K! Congrats!

Awesome video damn

I loved this video. I wish Kubo shown us Urahara's childhood with Yoruichi.

That was a very in depth analysis of Urahara. I see you're a Brandon Sanderson fan.......NIIICEE!!! Mistborn was such a DOPE series!!!!

such a good channel man. I subscribed :)

Yo man new subscriber love ur videos and keep up the grate work!

your channel is amazing

I really enjoy your take on the series and your speaking voice. Top notch work, keep it up! Let's not mention my jealousy at your bookshelf >_>;

My favorite character. Good video

Fantastic video! Please do more like this :)

I do remember in the deicide arc it was said that urahara's hogyoku was also imperfect and it was the effect of both hogyoku's that created the vizards, kisuke also does say that his knowledge of the hogyoku in the past arc was imcomplete as well

The most interesting aspect about him is his moral ambiguity imho. There are theories that he was going to be the last true big bad and a shade of this was in the light novel 'Can't Fear Your Own World' were he pleads with Yoruichi to punish him should he cross the line into outright villainy. She responded by threatening to snap his neck if he did, thus also highlighting the apparent falling out they had after the war. Yup, he's a deceiving badass but also humble in his own strange way.

You should do these more often

Him and Itachi in my opinion are the same person just in different universes!

He really is my favorite character

I like how Urahara is basically 2nd protagonist of bleach. Like we had past arc dedicated to him and there are key moments through out anime for his character Also when aizen was defeated it wasn't just ichigo's victory it was also completion of Urahara's arc

Juushiro Ukitake needs a video

Hat and clocks has always been my favorite character

He's the type of character that makes you think: Oh he looks like a simple and good character.

Urahaha has to be of noble descent. His backstory could possibly be hidden not only to us fans, but in the Soul Society as well. He seems to be someone whose prescence isn’t acknowledged, because he might be a rebellious heir, or he’s the Neji Huga (black sheep) who isn’t recognized to a degree and has to settle for less.

Please do a vid on Yoruichi! I don’t think anyone’s ever covered an analysis of her she’s super cool but hardly anyone talks about her.

An analysis of Grimmjow would be really cool 👌🏼

I remember one time in the last arc when the Quincy invade the Hueco mundo, Kizuke is setting up his computer and using a slab of rock as a keyboard, how cool is that.

Kisuske never fighting in a 1v1 situation I think exemplifies two things, 1) He grew up around the 2nd division and the Stealth Force. He isn't interested in a fair fight or a fight at all like say the 11th. His goal is to kill his enemies and he will take any advantage to do so despite being one of the more powerful characters in Bleach. I think it also speaks to his intelligence and planning. He wants to leave nothing to chance and maximize his ability to succeed in a mission. Fight with multiple members against one opponent does that, especially when his main teammate specializes in incredibly fast attacks that can catch enemy off guard if they foolishly believe it is a 1v1. So personally I would have liked to see Kisuske fight more on his own to get a true gauge of his ability, it makes total sense why he would never choose to do so.

I’m not sure if you had access to the rest of CFYOW, but we got some insight into Urahara’s mindset. Unless I missed it, I wished you talked about his banter with Askin as well.

Ooo can u make a video like this on Mayuri please or maybe retsu

Kisuke reminds me of Pervy Sage

should i trust this dude on his analysis on Bleach?? *looks at background* Yep, I am at the right place for anything Bleach

My fav. character.

Gotta love Mr. Hat and Clogs

Love Kisuke he is just the best of all
