This video contains spoilers for the entire BLEACH manga & some information from the Can't Fear Your Own World light novels.
Bleach's worldbuilding is incredibly underappreciated; specifically its power system.
This is a compilation of my Bleach worldbuilding video series. Links to each individual video can be found below. We will be going through the different races within Bleach's world and their respective power systems, how they play into eachother & what they represent on both narrative & thematic levels.

People say Bleach has zero/bad world building because it isn’t laid out in front of you in big chunks. You have to piece things together and often make the connections yourself. I can’t think of any instances where you’re spoon fed massive exposition dumps that tie multiple concepts and ideas together. Don’t even get me started on people complaining about Ichigo (and others) having no personality or defined goals. It drives me bonkers dawg lmao. With that said, WONDERFUL VIDEO
@augustdice3914 2 ай бұрын
Largely I agree, but I do think this has SOME of those Shonen world lore dumps, but they are often framed much better and, especially early on, are framed through Rukias understand of the world, which itself grows and evolves. What I think bleach does is that it never serves stuff up more than once. So you are right on the money with how it expects you to piece it together. They also become less and less as the series progresses. Also, more often than not , those lore dumps are presented somewhat angrily, as Rukia is mad at Ichigo for not already knowing it for some reason.

@17:57 , Ichigo's bankai Shihaksho is tied to his Reiryoku, in the convo between him and Unohana, she assumed orihimes healing was like Shinigami's which was to refill their energy THEN heal wounds. she assumed he was at 100% because he was healed. he pointed out that he has 1/3 or a 1/4 of his coat left and stated for him it shows his % of energy left. she got bug eyed realizing how powerful his energy wsa at that level and figured topping him off was priority for success

There seems to be a subtle hint about the races of Bleach, that while we generally think of them as separate, there's a lot of overlap between them. Regular humans by becoming pluses can eventually become either hollows or shinigami. Arrancars have weapons that are similar to the zanpakuto of the shinigami and they can use quincy powers with the right tools. Quincies can also use their conjuration to create weapons similar to the zanpakuto and you can also be a quincy without actually originating from Yhwach. Fullbringers conjure abilites from items similar to quincies and they can create powers that imitate those of hollows or shinigami. Perhaps these lines are much muddier than even the characters inside the story realise or admit to themselves.

I haven't finished the video yet but you are right about one thing that a lot of people misconceive world building as just a simple detailed setting with people, geography, and culture and I'm just really tired of it. Any story had world building on it even on stories like How I Met your Mother or The Office and I sort of get irritated when people only recognize world building when it has a lot of details on it and most of it just ties to the plot, and alot of the people just dismiss soft world-building that is just as well done on other series aside from probably berserk

I remember seeing the 2nd Opening for Bleach for the first time, seeing the episode that played *On the Precipice of Defeat* as Ichigo is training and getting ready for his battle, or as it shows a Hollow or someone coming to earth to cause harm. Even as a very young teen I remember thinking "This is so badass... this is just SO COOL!" and it made ME feel cool. As nerdy as that may sound, I swear Ichigo made an impact on me as a child / teen. I still like to dress like him well into my adult years. He has good style :). Okay, now to shut up and watch this amazing video.

I enjoyed rewatching all of this. And I'm so excited for your videos (if you decided to continue them, which I wish you should) about the pendulum arc and your theories about a higher will compared to the Reio. There's a lot of possibilities, adding the fact that the dimension of hell also existed way before the creation of the three dimensions in bleach. That can possibly mean, there's more people who can be stronger and more primordial than the era of the Reio and Ichibei's, which would also mean that the primordial history we know right now is not it 🔥

I like the theory of Ichigo being the next incarnation of the Soul King. As if by chance or by will of the same being who created the first soul king, he slowly gathers/reconnects with the powers and values of the different races in Bleach. Also would like to add that, if that's actually the case and Ichigo is to be the next Soul King, he's more complete, given that he actually has hollow and human within him, unlike the first Soul King.

The current Quincy are Yhwach's "children" because they were given this power by the people he originally gave pieces of him when he was a baby. Those people had children and those children were the first Quincy. Pretty much what I took from the story.

One small correction. Different races do have different signatures, but theres not much evidence that itw possible to tell human from quincy and/or quincy from shinigami.

A correction on the shihakusho section at 17:40 is that they aren't tied to the wearers reiryoku in most instances. They are usually actual clothing given to shinigami, the example with Ichigo was in reference to his bankai, which changed both his zanpakuto and shihakusho into more slender variants when activated during that arc. His shihakusho regrows only when in Bankai. In fact, Unohana only makes the connection when Ichigo states that his outfit is tied to his reiryoku, and doesn't believe him at first when he states that he's only at half power.

I wish they would go more into depth on what a soul is. Sometimes they talk about it like an external entity other times they talk about the soul as if it’s an internal organ and other times they talk about the soul when referring to any ghost that isn’t a hollow or soul reaper. Except that one time Aizen referred to Rukiya as a soul when removing the hogioku

It Kinda is. It's connected to a Shinigamis Reiryoku. For example when Ichigo absorbed Rukias Reiryoku in ep/chapter 1 she was only left with a (White) Shitagi and lost her (Black) Kosode and (black) Hakama. So when Shinigamis lose their Reiryoku then they also lose their Shihakushou which proves they are onnected to their Reiryoku. Then you have also Ichigo as evidence in the tybw arc. He got a new Shihakushou made by Shutara and it looks different than the original Shihakushou
