Due to the short week & other projects our Bleach editor was working on before the holiday, we are only able to get one episode of Bleach out for this week. I know everyone is anticipating episode 56 and we apologize for the inconvenience. We will be back to our regularly scheduled programming next week!

You pussy

Mike Drop

This comment makes no sense YG, by the time *this* hits Youtube, they'll be so far along on Patreon that the climax next episode will be weeks if not months old. No one has to wait a week in that scenario except Youtubers who don't pay for Patreon, which is the way it is now anyway.

Two quick points that might be useful to keep in mind as you watch the next few episodes: 1. Adoption in Japanese culture is different from almost every other culture. Adult adoption for example, can include adopting a son-in-law into the family and is common for families without male heirs, looking to keep a business in their family name. So the adoptee can marry the daughter of the adopted parents. And it is also not a light decision, as the family name and even head status can be passed down to the adoptee. 2. There are a number of throwaway lines that gain new context in retrospect, sometimes after a long interval. It may reveal relationships between side characters. Sometimes the subtle style of dialogue between characters reveals their opinion of each other's power scale. It would be fun to see if you can catch the setups and the payoffs. I also like to make a list of questions I hope the story will answer and see if it happens. Like in Naruto, you wanted to see the land of the summoned frogs, Hashirama's story, his fight with Madara, the sage of six paths, etc. long before it happened. It may be fun to see how many of your questions are answered and how long it takes to get there.

Despite it being one of my favorite manga, I sincerely hope they never react to One Piece otherwise we'll be in this hellscape for 7 years minimum.

Tmatts

I am ok with this because I know they'll make it up to us. They always do.

Oscar Lopez

You can basically boil down the motivations like this: People who are indifferent and are upholding law People who think the execution is BS and trying to stop it You pretty much nailed Yamamoto specifically

Benjamin Donahue

its a good $ making tactic, when it hits youtube in a few weeks/months the amounts of subscribers they'll get after the first half of the climax drops and youtubers have to wait a whole week will be massive.

yair

Lame

L.C.

So with the revelation of Yamamoto's Zanpakto I think I will be giving some trivia on old man Yama. His Zanpakto, Ryujin Jakka, translates to Flowing Blade Young Flame and its release phrase is changed in the dub. In the dub it is 'All things in the universe turn to ashes' presented as a neutral statement about the advance of time against the power of flame. In the sub it is 'Reduce all creation to ash' basically commanding Ryujin Jakka to destroy it all. Yamamoto's theme song, as Tite Kubo gave all his characters theme songs from actual songs, is 'Mars, the Bringer of War' the first movement in the classical orchestra 'The Planets'. Tite Kubo also released stat sheets where every character's skills were ranked out of 100 and Yamamoto got 100/100 for every category except for physical strength where he got a 60/100. He truly is the strongest Soul Reaper to ever be born.

Annah Suarez-Domit

Well thats unfortunate. Unless they put out three next week, which i doubt, they screwed the climax being in the same week.

De'Andre Richardson

As someone who doesn't watch Bleach, this comment section alone is worth my monthly payment lol.

JQ

Back then, the pool of female VAs was uhhh....not deep lol

Shockzz1234

I'm getting my fill of entertainment from the comment section 🍿

UnluckyN

Holy crap this comments section is lit legit enjoyed reading the beef brew as much as the actual reaction 😂😂

Antonio Bacon

how dare those dang anime fans want what they paid for 😡 let’s glaze the normies some more oh wise iJashin

Blackest Hippy

Yall are absolutely ridiculous. 15 shows on the docket and you're up in arms because ONE of those 15 didn't get double dropped. Even if you ignore the fact that it was coming off of a federal holiday, even if you ignore the fact that it was communicated to you (but apparently not "soon enough" for some people) - the whole "I only pay for Bleach [Naruto in the past]" argument doesn't work. When you go buy a burger and they tell you they can only give you half-slices of cheese instead of a whole slice, do you scream and cry and say "I'M ONLY PAYING FOR THE CHEESE! This is ridiculous! I'm never eating here again"? Edit: changed 14 to 15 because apparently JJK is back too.

iJashin

react to Ben 10 classic and the owl house

BradBoimler

At least we got one done, happy 4th you filthy animals, and a happy new year.... wait thats not right

dannydarko27

yes

Mateaugst085

wait so are we getting 3 episodes next week or only 1 this week and 2 next week?

Xanbry

But you are paying for early access. That’s what they promote to get you to join Patreon. Nobody is saying they don’t enjoy their reactions, but with constant mistakes, and little to no communication, it becomes frustrating.

Jayla

I became a patron towards the beginning of the Shinobi war, but I never really started commenting till now, how bad did things get with the Naruto fandom?

Jackie Gibson

"other projects" !?!? nothing is more important than Bleach!!!! lol JK

Jubaer

Yamamoto is the embodiment of never underestimating old men in anime. Too badass. 🔥🔥🔥 @Mickey Yama didn't grow in size in front of Nanao, it was just dramatic effect. Some fun facts of same voice actors: Unohana (captain of squad 4, healing squad) = Sakura. Same VA, it's ironic since she's a healer like Sakura. Isane (Unohana's lieutenant) = Hinata Orihime = Also Hinata Nanao (Shunsui's lieutenant) = Also Sakura Sakura's VA also voices Karin, Ichigo's sister. Shunsui = Hiruzen, the 3rd hokage Ukitake = Gaara (which y'all already know) Yamamoto = Madara

Kayso

So not only an entire week delay but not even some type of compensation to lighten things up such as "look out for an extra episode coming guys!" or something. It's already such a ridiculously slow rate. I get you guys have other shows and things but this is just ridiculous

Aus

I'd like to make a few points based on the discussions I've seen here: 1) I don't think it's fair to compare Patreon to subscription services such as Netflix, Hulu, etc. Those are run by massive corporations and advertise themselves as subscription services. Patreon has and continues to primarily be a way to support creators you enjoy so that they can keep creating and focus on creating rather than being forced to work other jobs for their living, which would take away from them taking time to make content you are so invested in that a video coming out a week later than expected causes you to be this upset. You are not paying specifically for early access, that is a bonus perk. You are paying to keep the people whose content you enjoy afloat so they can keep doing it. Shift your perspective on this. 2) If you can't shift your perspective as above and are disappointed with what is being delivered, you are more than free to walk away at any time. You aren't being held hostage here. If I have a bad experience at a restaurant, for example, I'm not going to go back. But you guys are still here despite all your complaints, which tells me they must be delivering some really good stuff that you really enjoy, in which case you should be able and willing to wait one extra week, it shouldn't be a huge deal.

Pavi

The motivations of the captains is pretty straightforward if you just think about it. Ukitake is literally Rukia’s captain and Shunsui is his friend so of course he’s going help him out. Others such as Toshiro and Unohana can sense something isn’t right about Rukia’s execution. Literally just pay attention cause it’s all there 😭💀

Isaiah Gibbz

Shounen heads are wild. Fantastic showing everyone on why almost anything else would’ve been more fun than dealing with this ridiculousness again for so long after finishing Naruto. Bleach isn’t anywhere near good enough to have to deal with this headache.

greenb3ar

Jesus Christ. I thought naruto fans were bad. The sheer level of entitlement and raging from this community is awful. You all realize that businesses have issues right? Shit happens occasionally? It was a long holiday weekend and they have multiple people out on PTO. You can wait one damn week for your episode, holy shit.

Brakthir

It's a decent point to ask why can't episode 56 come out tomorrow if y'all didn't have time. Lots of animators working that double time overtime for MAPPA...come on normies step it up. 😂😂

MojoJojoGojo

When I first watched this episode, the fan-sub I was watching translated Yamamoto's release command as "Reduce all of creation to smoldering ashes; Ryujin Jakka!" To me, the line in the dub - AND the official sub - makes it sound more like he's just saying "Stuff can burn real good!" rather than giving a specific command to his sword. Anyone agree? I know the couch crew has gotten to the big reveal. Are they still confused about the whole release command thing with zanpakuto? 'Cause the earlier seasons were a little inconsistent with it.

Nabeshin

I just commented on this lol but the normies said in a reply to patron kenpacho they only found out this morning so the earliest notice they could have given would be TODAY, I obviously don't work for them so I can't tell you who dropped the ball or what happened but it's an unfortunate set of events.

Jackie Gibson

Again this thing happens and instead of feedback being taken into consideration it gets muddied by all the overreacting comments and gets brushed off as ungrateful subscribers. I don't need a triple drop, a quadruple drop or whatever, I just need COMMUNICATION. If the video hasn't been edited and there is no full length then you guys knew about it so why not tell us. I would be super duper down with you guys having issues but let us know please. I wouldn't be saying this if this was the first time it happened. Yes people overreact, agreed and they should behave themselves, but that doesn't take away from your guys lack of communication

bondbond53

They did reply in a comment to patron kenpacho earlier that they only found out it wasn't ready today, so they literally could not have put out an earlier notice.

Jackie Gibson

well then we are waiting for 3 episodes of Bleach next week

Chernuha

You honestly believe they are going to drop three episodes next week?

Douglas Kelley

Just a suggestion for the future: people tend to not be as upset about things being canceled or put on hold when they are told ahead of time. Telling people the day of usually doesn't go well.

Temperistic

The motivations are clearly set up and Chris even explained clearly Yamamoto's 💀 But they are the normies and will need "those" episodes to clear things up.

ispeckz--

Honestly this lines up better reaction wise even though I was looking forward to the double drop

WhateverIFeelLike

episode 56 is just yoruichi vs sui-feng lol. People really acting like its the ichigo bankai episode (58). Of course now if we dont get 56 this week or a triple it does mean that episodes delayed another week.

bloosmoke

Tell that to blindwave who take vacations and don’t miss a beat.

Jayla

How dare a Holiday and short week have some impact on the schedule. It's as if The Normies do the right thing as employers and allow their employees to enjoy a holiday.

Chaos T

It's all good Normies we got a double drop of the boondocks this week so I aint even mad

Gangster Gastino

No motivation??? Umm rukias is his lieutenant and like Aizen believes this execution is toooo severe of a punishment and Shunsui is his best friend clearly not an asshole as how he showed in the Chad fight. I don’t understand how it’s not that obvious that that’s there motivation. Don’t fall into that trap that bleach doesn’t have depth because you have to remember the lore it gives. It’s not like HxH that over explain things. Kubos way of writing is show instead of tell so you gotta use context clues in most instances.

Maudiel Cuellar

Yeah I get it Bleach is my all time Favorite Anime but technical issues happen or whatever so ain't really their fault, sure I'm a little upset cause of this but after a while I'm like eh another week then and hope for a 3 drop but we'll see 🤷🏻‍♂️

Julio Flores

Do something productive with your life instead of worrying about things out of your control. Read a book or something.

Matthew Menear

I hope we get E56 somehow before next Wednesday or we get 3 episodes next week

MONA.KUROSAKI

Orochimaru has a giant snake 😳

If you guys already filmed the drunk explanation and finished End of Evangelion and the show I think this is a great video to watch to help explain the events of the story (especially things that weren’t spelled out and listed details about the ways in which the show is a stylized retelling of Genesis from the Bible) https://youtu.be/E5gVDDpviKo There are some other great videos about the show that deconstruct the themes, am happy to share those if you guys haven’t already watched them Excited about the drunk explanation (hope pictures were included!!!) and excited for potential video essay(s) or maybe just a video discussing the series or reacting to videos abt the series (no pressure) Great discussions! Spidey on top of things and everyone asking the right questions. Hope you guys have had fun with the show Also this a really great article diving into Misato and Ritsuko’s behavior, there’s a lot of interesting things done to contrast them and comment on the way women are expected to behave in society! (Chart from the article https://imgur.com/a/FBoVByo) Misato’s insecurities and the ways in which she’s judged by others (including Ritsuko) for being a sexually active woman are contrasted with Ritsuko who plays herself as above it all but we see how insecure she is and that she stops wearing make up when Gendo is out of town. It’s really interesting to see these deeply broken characters who can’t stop chasing their deceased parents masquerading as more than they are, we’re all out here just trying our best lol https://reelrundown.com/animation/Character-Discussion-Misato-and-Ritsuko

space colon

I love Bleach too but people are really blowing things out of proportions lol

Some Guy on the Internet

no need to wonder, we wont, some people are only here for bleach.

YG

I really have to wonder whether the people losing their minds over Bleach would be as upset if something similar happened to... say... The Office, or Ted Lasso. Or are they just upset because this happens to affect the one thing they pay attention to on this Patreon? I really have to wonder...

Spudsworth

No one asked.

Mike Drop

regularly scheduled programming lol i see you

rickie woodson

I'm not gonna lie I feel like they're confused about things that are already addressed not even the actually confusing parts. It's funny seeing their confusion though.

Anderson Lake(The Bleach)

I will say again...subscribing to a $10-15 patreon for only one show is just downright stupid. I've been subscribed to them for 5 years now, and I cancel when there's only one show that entertains me. Imagine paying $10 for 8 videos lol...couldn't be me. Like now, I watch their Ted Lasso, The Office, Boondocks, Evangelion, Oshi no Ko, Buffy, and Rebels reactions. I get so much bang for my buck. I don't understand people who only sign up for one show. Imagine getting netflix and disney+ just for one show ridiculous.

Laurence Reyes

yeah, its nuts

Sincerely, the Best.

Copy pasta?

MarkyO

I've been a member of multiple patrons over the course of about 3 years now and I've never seen this many people angry in one post, lol.

CDS

Unprofessional behavior I know mistake can happen but how many times ? For god sake, how many times in a short span ? In last 2 week more than 2-3 cases Bleach 55-56 will come in Wednesday and it should be prepared from atleast 2 days ago Why always editing in the last minute ? If something supposed to come in patreon 10th July then it should be ready within 8th July But normies will do in 10th July and post late or will post like this and say we are very shit sorry Lame Excuse each time It can be avoidable each time You guys have 11000+ patreon members I can't believe the lacks of professionalism

Science

Damn I'm really disappointed. Since the episode is already recorded you guys could post a tripledrop next week.

Mateaugst085

They’re doing boondocks?!

Adan Guzman

Everybody's gangsta until the old man in an anime takes off his shirt.

Jackie Gibson

Im still hyped about the Boondocks reaction, so I don't mind that we are not getting episode 56 this week. :D

DarkJokester

At least drop 3 episodes next week

Renato Moro

They are stated to being superior to their peers and predecessors at the academy, canonically. But no one will force you to accept canon lore. In fact, they were stated to being transcendent to their peers and predecessors at academy, even though we know in hindsight their classmate Tokinada was quite strong.

Michael

Why not just release the episode when it's ready instead of dropping it next week? Because you guys are not going to drop three episodes next week.

MackeyMoose

yup, but they needed to drop 6 episodes per week if they wanted to catch up in time for the new season from when they started, its more cost effective to do 2 a week and drag it on for 1.7 years of subscription time.

YG

I wouldn't say they are superior to their predecessors. Just brought up in a different time.

AttackRunRepeat

Wooooow way to drop the ball on 56. These guys will never learn to work with a backlog. Handing in their homework late like bad students.

Mike Drop

Yamamoto's reiatsu was so much he made Nanao foam in the mouth and cry before falling to the floor. He's the strongest captain as we can see

Michael

Shunsui/Jushiro are the first ever students (from Yamamoto's shinigami/soul reaper academy) turned captains in Gotei 13 history. They are quite old (700+ years old), and are stated to be transcendent aka vastly superior to their peers and predecessors at the academy.

Michael

😭😭

William Potter

you guys should be dropping 56 asap, not next week, I was only paying for one show and there's obv no care for your paid subscribers. Call me a whiner, but any other channel with care would do the same

Motaz Younis

I mean not really. It's just a single video. It's not a big deal. I'll just watch 3 episodes next week and find something else to do with my time. First world problems. lol

Michael Diaz

I think they should stop looking for more shows to react and focus on the ones they have if they did triple or quadruple drops of bleach they might have been able to watch some the Thousand year blood war as it was releasing

נדב מאור

what the fuck.

olivia

This is a paid service, i dont pay for a netflix, apple TV or disney plus subscription, but i do pay the normies and i do it for 1 show, this one.

YG

There was no uncut to release. It hasn't been edited at all.

The Normies

You know they won’t

Pro_Hero

Yeah it sucks but life goes on 😅

Andy tee

Could’ve just released the uncut.

Di

Sucks there's no 2nd episode of Bleach, but oh well it happens. I mean I'm just happy we get 2 eps almost every week.

DarkAshtar

That got me right in my normie, gotta take a couple days to recover

David Weber

There's literally only anime in this post why are you here if you're so above it?

bondbond53

You anime kids are the biggest whiners

Tim Arnold

at least release the uncut episode? theres basically nothing to edit there..

YG

All those people crying in the comments...

Clément

Having to wait until next week when there was no notice in advance this week AND the episode was late absolutely sucks.

BlakStatik23

I will just wait till next week sigh lol.

Justin Jefferson

My guess is they were hoping the editor could finish episode 56 in time.

Twiska Brand

Aha I see what you did there

ispeckz--

release episode 56 when it's done or do a triple drop next week. if you have backlog there is no reason not to

Joseph Moss

Their motive is that some don’t think Rukia deserves to die and the other wants to upholds the laws of the soul society and they feel it is absolute that’s kinda the whole point of this arc.

Karma

that's just annoying

dean

I can handle waiting but why the last minute notice....

Kenpacho

Why do y'all always announce these things last minute. And 56 should release along with 57 and 58

DocGreen

Hope this doesn’t ruin their release schedule. Hopefully we get 3 next week then.

VanguardDuelist

That's alright we got THAT BEAUTIFUL NEXT COUR 2 THIS SATURDAY BABY 🔥🔥🔥

ispeckz--

god why

Seija

They should release episode 56 whenever it's ready. Not next week.

Shady Mozy

Stab right in the neck normies Dx

MojoJojoGojo

As usual these things get announced last second. Could've given us the announcement in the Early Access section

bondbond53

Ibh I'm a little annoyed

Jamaal Ellison

One episode a week is crazy

Roberto Rojas

Better drop 3 next week 😤

PacoTaco

Damn the biggest tease waiting today

PKKite

Noooooo :( that sucks but thanks for the communication!
