This man is so strong he was the captain and his own vice captain

Zaraki: names yachiru and gives her power. Ichibe: I'll allow it

To be fair, the whole "names are power" thing was established LOOOOONG before Ichibei. The earliest example I can think of (which I think is actually the first) is knowing the name of an attack. During Ichigo's battle against Byakuya, it's explained that Ichigo knowing his attack's name is "Getsuga Tenshou" vastly increases its power.

Kenpachi trusts Yachiru so much and so instinctively that even when he's a rampaging berserker rage monster incapable of rational thought and seeking only destruction and battle, he follows her directions without hesitation. Even when his mind is totally lost to bloodlust and power, he listens to her guidance absolutely and instinctively. On his deepest level, he trusts his daughter. There's something really sweet about that.

Can’t wait for the day when Kenpachi’s Bankai gets animated in all its glory

I think you could argue that there was some precedence for the whole naming thing before the final arc of bleach. Remember yumichika was able to call out a false name for his zanpakuto in order to hide it's true abilities.

ahh we all missed kubo's foreshadowing, Yachiru has been giving ken chan directions from the very beginning :O

Yachiru does like to give other people nicknames like Kenny, Ichi, and jiggles.

I love how names are so important in Bleach. I always remember how Old Man Zangetsu tells Ichigo that knowing the name of his attack makes it stronger(when practicing getsuga tensho).

Adult Nozarashi will totally just be Unohana with pink hair.

Tekking: "Behold! the truth behind Kenpachi's bankai" Fan: "Tekking this is the 6th video you've done about the secret behind Kenpachi's bankai, still gonna watch it tho."

Kenpachi was so badass,his zanpakuto had a zanpakuto😂.My second fav captain after Byakuya.

The Translation was wrong. Grown Woman Noazarashi is the Shikai (Kenoachi didn’t recognise the voice of Shikai Nozarashi) Yachiru is the Bankai (Gives directions to Kenny in Bankai)

Kenpachi is the only answer you need in response to questions about Kenpachi

Fans: "Is Yachiru...?" Kubo: *YES*

tekking just one thing. You said that the grown women represents the bankai and yachiru represents the shikai. It´s actually the other way around case and point when the blade was telling Kenpachi it´s name after he killed Unohana, Kenpachi didn´t recogsined it´s voice but when he went into bankai it was Yachiru that gave it to him. This also makes sense cause it´s the same way with Ichigo, the younger version represents the bankai while the grown one is the shikai.

Always love a new bleach discussion, keep it coming Tekking!

There might be a mistake in translation of Kubo's answer, because, if I'm not mistaken, he said that Nozarashi is an adult woman(Shikai) and Yachiru is Bankai, because Nozarashi talked to Zaraki in muken, while Yachiru was still in 11-th squad barracks

Holy shit, Barry’s name is so powerful that the audio actually cut out when Tekking said it at the end 😱

Muramasa's lucky he didn't know Kenpachi's Zanpakto... I wonder if we will ever see her drawn...

I also want Nozarashi to have a close resemblence to unohana, that would be a cool full circle to have for the ultimate Kenpachi

Keeping all these names straight is a superpower worth a like and sub by itself. Being able to make any shred of sense of all this convoluted information is next-level.

nostalgic to check back here :D glad to see you still have your energy :D

The amount of head cannon of bleach tekking puts in my head is amazing and helps me sleep at night 😭😭

Kuna Mashiro is also a vice captain, you know? Not just a mere Vice captain, but a SUPER DUPER Vice Captain! She also created the the Soul King

I was waiting on your take on this ... And as always you nailed it... Salute Tekking101

Thank you for mentioning mrtommo

Tekking! You need to do a follow up discussion in relation to this topic about Yumichika and how even he was able to access the power of names through changing his own Zanpakuto with a nickname!

Love ur videos. U got a lot of enthusiasm, energy n personality. Keep up the good work

While I have never read or watched Bleach, I really enjoy listening to you talk about it. 👍

I kinda hope you do more videos I've been watching everything you release recently and your contents great and never fails to make me smile or laugh so I'm glad you released this.

Just finished reading all of bleach for the first time!!!! Now I can watch these videos informed!!!! Hell ya I’m excited

IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS

Thanks for a great video

This was amazing Tekking will you be interested in doing more of these in the future ? Like for the SBSes picking some questions and answers then showing them on video? This and the geography is everything you're planning to do would expand the bleach world even more which would be amazing

Love the video keep up the great work

I literally watched your zanpakto breakdown for him yesterday!!!

Something I noticed in the Flashback of when Kenpachi first met Yachiru in the Anime. Unlike the others there, she was more colorful I suppose, like she was slightly glowing. Not sure that was intended but now that we know what she is, it kinda makes sense.

Love ur content tekking have a wonderful day

So yachiru didn't dissappear because Kenny learnt the name nozarashi and released the shikai but because he referred to her as nozarashi and kind of took away the name that gave her the power of the shinigami in favour of her real name

I missed your video bro… thanks for your video and energy.

3:14 i play this like a hundred times today, you gave me a wholesome day tekking. The weebest thing i've ever seen.

Go back and watch some of tekking older bleach videos and it’s a real trip 😹 this man does not age.

I thought he wasn't going to make a video about this but he finally did it 👍🏻

Bruh Tekking discussion is 🔥🔥

What if a Zanpakuto spirit begins aging from when you first have it, and matures into a shikai - then continues maturing until it splits off forming a younger spirit as a bankai. There will naturally always be an age gap between the two. This is not something that happens when you unlock bankai, it is something that simply happens as the spirit matures. This explains why I think that Yachiru is Kennt’s bankai, and the older woman is actually his shikai. This explains why Shunsui explains how he got intimate with the older spirit first (shikai) before the younger of the two spirits. This explains why Tensa Zangetsu is younger than Zangetsu.

AYYY MORE BLEACH!!!!! THANKS TEKKING

I imagine if Yachiru if she was suppose to be the spirit and her appearance is of an older women, than I think her appearance would reflect what Kenpachi’s Banki was all about which has elements of Oni and Hannya elements. So maybe this older Yachiru would basically be a giant oni looking girl that has those berserker rage moments and go on a cutting spree. Be an interesting way to reimagine the little pink hair girl that looks all innocent and look like she grew up as a murderer.

I held off on watching other videos on this very subject until tekking did a video on it, gotta stay true to the og

About the name thing, we actually know about that much earlier, ever since the soul society arc, actually. Yumitchika called his zanapakuto by the wrong name, so ge got to wrong power. The same happened to Renji. His zanapakuto didn't like him, so it gave him a wrong name. Hell, the power of zanapakuto and kido in general invilves calling their names out loud. So it makes perfect sense that Kenpachi gave Yachiru her name and by extension her powers and identity. Also, remember how Kenpachi has a terrible sense of direction so Yachiru is always on his shoulder guiding him? Kinda an interesting paralel with his bankai.

Here is a question as we have kind of seen this happen before. Before we knew about Yachiru or what she was. Coyote Starrk and Lilynette Gingerbuck, They are one person, yet seem to be to different people, as Lilynette is a sealed part of Starrk's power. Would it be possible for Kenpachi to reform Yachiru from his power again, much like Starrk could.

*me scrolling through my recommendation videos* *sees Tekking posted a new video* "Thank God."

I love the video, I literally love all your videos but if you think about it too it’s the dynamic of Kenpachi. Fighting was really his soft side but he’s like the hardest dude in the series. His innocence as Yachiru and his love as Nozarashi was fighting. It’s like Hisoka to a physical or spiritual extent. Lol

Names equal power also goes along with the whole European aspect to the quincies if you think about the fae folk and how if you /give/ someone your name that means they have power over you. A fae would ask "may I have your name?" Like how you would ask "may I have your sandwich" in that they want it for themselves so the aspect of names is that old of a concept so Kenpachi /giving/ Yachiru a name also ties into that

There is never enough videos of Kenpachi Zaraki, the dude is simply content heavy

Thats an interesting point about beyond the 81st District. Maybe its like a vast continent since there is a Soul Society West Division.

As someone who has been following tekking since the early bleach days, I can always appreciate how his bed is always well made

Yo nice video!

To be fair in most cultures the concept of name is sacred, often to the point where cultures develop two types of names: Everyday name and True name. And true name usually hold some kind of power within it. In many cultures if you wanted to cast curse on someone, you needed true name. Also, often change of the name means fresh start, new beginning and change of nature. Alternatively, forsaking the name means getting rid of old self. Also also, I've always seen Ichibei's power more of a power to give properities rather than just name stuff. It's not as much as "I'll name this magical sword a Zanpakuto" rather than "This thing shall from now on be Zanpakuto, which meant it is magical sword that does shit when you use it".

I'd love a Bleach video about this Klub Outside thing-y! Cool!

The question is why Kubo bothered to reveal when he's going to continue the manga anyway?

Bro this man is literally a beast he deserves 1 mil and more also he better get recognized 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌💪💪💪💪💪💪💪

I dont know how you feel about Koga from the Zanpakuto arc but it would be 🔥 🔥 🔥 if you made a video on him!💯

I like the symbolism of Ichibe being a writer (with the brush, and all). Almost like an avatar of the author, or if not that, of authorship and storytelling in general.

Let's not forget that Nimaiya implied that all of this crazy stuff happens because Shinigami lose focus of the fact that the sword is just a sword. Or rather that there is nothing in a zanpakuto, that didn't come from the shinigami using it.

More 2021 bleach tekking takes me back

So because a part of the zanpakuto's spirit is being materialized outside the inner world in Bankai and Shikai, it affects the form the zanpakuto spirit takes at that moment in that shinigami's inner world or elsewhere.

Seeing Kenpachi’s Bankai animated is going to be a treat.

Their were many important questions answered on that site The question concerning Nel is probably the most important to Matt

Let me give my 2 Cents: I believe Kubo let us know exactly what Yachiru is, already. Yumichika, Renji, and Ichigo all had zanpakuto who's names were hidden on purpose or without their knowledge. Because of this, it causes the zanpakuto to look TOTALLY different, weakens it's power, and even have different abilities. And, I believe Yachiru is just that. I think Yachiru was pointing out Zaraki's blade as herself when they met, as he was asking who she was and where she came from. BUT, unlike those three before, Zaraki didn't choose to disrespect her by calling her another name and it neither disrespected him by giving him a false name. He literally adopted her on the spot and even gave her the name of the person he respected more than anyone, thus acknowledging himself as his own Zanpakuto's protector. He doesn't see them as equals, he places her on a pedestal. In doing so, she manifested into a "Beast Type" zanpakuto that was cut off from it's true asuachi and thus weakened. We saw in the Zanpakuto arc that the spirits are also able to use shinigami techniques, and I don't think it was a coincidence that they tended to put Mayuri and Zaraki around each other so much. Furthermore, Yachiru even has a Zanpakuto who's ability is to manifest TWO BEASTS. One could represent her and the other could represent the Grown Woman of Zaraki's zanpakuto, while she stands in place of Kenpachi. So, in essence, Kubo could have gave us the clue to this when she revealed her shikai.

My theory on the organization of the Soul Society is that all new arrivals start out beyond district 80, each in a kind of afterlife that gives them what they need to be content. But the longer you stay in bliss the more your soul yearns for, so you start to migrate to the center where you can experience more. Eventually ending up at the academy because duty is what give you purpose in the eternity of the afterlife.

So funny I just seen this news yesterday on Simo Uhara page and I was like Tekking101 is gonna do a video on this and here he is the next day

9:14 I must have that now! Tekking make it happen.

nice!

I just realized when you mentioned it but if Shunsui was in a romantic relationship with his zanpakuto spirit. And zanpakuto spirits are just reflections of your own soul.. does that technically make that relationship self-cest or not?

Nice video also where'd you get the sword

Tekkins channel. A stoner paradise for baked goods

Yes I've been waiting for this! Do you think it's sort of like Renji's zanpakto spirit too?

You have a basic idea on how zanpakutos work yet every shinigami seems to bring their own quirks to it. Really cool on Kubo's part.

Tekkin do a reaction on the teaser for the final Bleach Arc i know that you may be busy but Bleach was such a big part of your channel back in those days and not bringing this up in a video would be quite uppsetting.

Maybe there's a relation between Ichibe and Kenpachi? This can actually be very cool and will make sense power scale wise. Maybe Ichibe is his father and is mother is from the hell realm? That can be an interesting backstory for the upcoming hell arc

Tekking when you do your review on sunday can you talk about what you think about momo and kaidos horns looking different in full dragon form. A revelation in 1025 could explain it but i nedd to hear your thoughts on it please!!!!!!!

Names throughout bleach have always had great significance two other case where this is shown is with a zanpaktou you need to know it’s name as Zangetsu states when you know the name of not just the zanpaktou but the name of the attacks it can use gave greater potency . Another instance is when a combatant shows respect for their opponent they give their name .

If you guys watch the early episode where kenpachi meet ichigo. You'll notice: Ichigo cant seem to recognize yachiru as normal shinigami. Zangetsu telling Ichigo that Zaraki cant hear his sword speaking to him. I dont know if the language translation mistake but if its correct, Kubo is actually already giving a hint of Kenpachi Zanpakuto on the early episod. 😁

Before now I just thought of it as a similar case as Stark how his spirit split into two

Your mom makes donuts? Damn actually impressive she must have to work at a bakery before

You mentioned your recently-completed series on the Bleach Lieutenants from the start of Bleach. I was wondering it you had any plans to do a follow-up video on the current Lieutenants who have been promoted since the beginning of the series? There are eight new current Lieutenants that your series didn't cover: Genshirō Okikiba, Kiyone Kotetsu, Atau Rindō, Yuyu Yayahara, Mashiro Kuna, Ikkaku Madarame, Akon, and Sentarō Kotsubaki. Given that many of them have relatively little backstory you might be able to cover the topic in a single video.

I love how Tekking takes any chace to show any of his swords on camera he can lol

Orihime Also Kinda Did The Whole Name Thing When She Called Out Ichigo’s Name When Ulqiorra blasted a hole through him and when Ichigo started saying his name he came back to life as His Vasto Lorde form

This concept is similar to the Tensura Verse( Slime). When you name something you are I’m urging it with a portion of your own power. They become a unique creature but bear some connection to the one who gave the name. The original concept is mainly mirrored in Egyptian(Kemetic) myths. It’s a dope system

👍 good video

It should also help explain why he could achieve bankai so fast, because he had such a connection with his zanpakuto spirit all along, but a giant inherrent disconnection at the same time

I just thought about something that could kinda be connected. Cause Yachiru is just a part of Nozarashi so she propably have only small part of Nozarashi's reiatsu and Nel when she turned into Child she also had only a small part of her reiatsu.

I would think that beyond the 80th district would be the beast realm as more of a wild lands sort of area, because its never stated that the beast realm is a separate place, just exists.

5:19 Given the explanation we got from Kubo and what we saw in the manga there's a little discrepancy here. A) Nozarashi (Shikai) is the grown woman who's spirit we've never seen and the Yachiru were know is the spirit we get when he released Bankai. She was the one we saw distributing power to him when he used it and if we follow the same rules as Zangetsu (which I am not saying is a rule of thumb) the Bankai spirit is visually younger than the Shikai spirit. This may be because every Shinigami must achieve Shikai at some point before they achieve Bankai, thus the Shikai is technically "older" than the Bankai. B) Yachiru and the older woman spirit are a double spirit Zanpakutou like how Sogyo no Kotowari and katen Kyoukotsu were depicted in the anime and Yachiru was simply materialized without the older woman during Zaraki's earlier days as a vagabond in the Rukon District.

The manga states that Kenpachi's shikai is a grown womans voice, so Yachiru would be the bankai version if we follow Ichigos manifestations of Zanpacuto, right? Plus Yachiru unlocks his ability to wield bankai, so that also fits.

Matt, you really need to upload these as a podcast so you can earn more money, maybe look at a program like anchor

Tekking we need some Hell theories and new arc speculations

The video was great, but holy jesus, how was that donut?

when zangetsu said that attack names give them more power I remember thinking "huh that probably won't matter too far into the story"
