2023-03-17 01:08:13 +0000 UTCThe royal taskforce are the ones under yamamoto/squad 1 they are just stronger than normal soul reapers. You wouldn’t call a lieutenant or captain to handle menos.

2023-03-03 09:45:35 +0000 UTCThe royal task force are the ones under Yamamoto/squad 1 which are stronger than the normal soul reapers in Squad 1 neither lieutenants or captains would go out to handle this so what she says is correct.

2023-03-01 19:56:07 +0000 UTCYeah, the whole Royal-Task-Force-takes-care-of-this thing is hilarious upon rewatch. This was a Kishimoto-style retcon. 😛 As for the dub, it's just as good as the "Naruto" one. In fact, while I prefer watching sub for each of the Big 3, the (modern) dubs for each of them are good, and make things easier for a big group reaction. Plus, I love seeing them react when they recognize the various English voices that they've heard in other things, and that's only going to happen more. For personal viewing, I prefer sub, but I can't wait for them to meet more English-voiced characters! 👍🏼

2023-02-22 19:36:39 +0000 UTCFar superior? Ehh

2023-02-22 17:14:34 +0000 UTCRana: ichigo shouldn't be able to beat a menos grande Rana: I know naruto will beat Haku and zabuza

2023-02-20 18:57:21 +0000 UTCAgree that Ban....... kai!!!!!! got too much sauce in it
Heavenly Demonic Emperor
2023-02-19 06:32:00 +0000 UTCNot really one to care too much for dbs vs subs, but this is one of the few where the japanese is far superior XD
Benjamin Donahue
2023-02-19 00:37:22 +0000 UTCI’m just hoping they skip the filler, everyone I have ever talked to that dropped bleach dropped it because of the first major filler arc
Colton Pierce
2023-02-19 00:00:52 +0000 UTCHope next week keeps up with the double drop! shit is getting spicy soon.
Dominic Caciappo
2023-02-18 01:16:27 +0000 UTCMenos Grande are born when a hollow eats another hollow and keeps eating till they stabilize into that form

2023-02-17 19:22:34 +0000 UTCKenichi Shirahama from Kenichi the Mightiest Disciple was a normal dude
Tehhunger
2023-02-16 22:30:44 +0000 UTCI’m so glad they are taking notes, hopefully they catch some of the foreshadowing
Colton Pierce
2023-02-16 22:26:08 +0000 UTCThats literally in 3 episodes lol
Quelz
2023-02-16 22:17:09 +0000 UTC@Zen Reacts plus Rukia called it a cero this episode anyways. She just said doom blast right after, so they were both used in the same sentence
Kayso
2023-02-16 18:56:37 +0000 UTC4:54 I've been trying to get them to watch Samurai Champloo Chris, they don't know what they're missing
iJashin
2023-02-16 14:36:09 +0000 UTCI forgot that bleach starts off slow. I'll come back when the gang has to rescue a certain character
Queef Burglar
2023-02-16 12:21:54 +0000 UTCI'm going to get a clip of Rana saying "put it up his butt" and use it as my ring tone
Thoko
2023-02-16 10:28:26 +0000 UTCwho hurt you? all i said was its cringy that cero was called a "doom blast" in dub. You dont need a stick up your ass to admit dubbed anime is cringey as hell. I keep mine in there cause it feels good
She's a Messy Queen, such a Messy Queen! HEYHEYHEY
2023-02-16 08:23:04 +0000 UTCLike alot of series things get retconned later down the line the royal secret task force and calling it doom blast. Everyone needs to get the sticks outta their asses and remember its a shonen, and every shonen is dumb
Zen Reacts
2023-02-16 06:03:13 +0000 UTCThis is the only time its called that. Its actually called Cero the rest if the series
Zen Reacts
2023-02-16 06:01:32 +0000 UTCCalling a cero "doom blast" should be reason enough for people to watch sub instead of dub
She's a Messy Queen, such a Messy Queen! HEYHEYHEY
2023-02-16 05:33:00 +0000 UTCIt's probably that when stationed on assignment Rukia has been trained to call in a Royal Special Task Force because [spoilers about how soul reapers operate in the living world] and they're maybe practiced at handling menos grande in a way that is less destructive to the living world.

2023-02-16 04:38:34 +0000 UTCTrue.
Anderson Lake(The Bleach)
2023-02-16 04:38:23 +0000 UTCYes, but they don't require the royal task force, they are a lieutenant level problem at best
Unstablebeast
2023-02-16 04:30:22 +0000 UTCPower scaling in a shounen's a bitch. Poor menos.
Mister_Momus
2023-02-16 03:23:44 +0000 UTCThe Soul Reapers are really bad at their jobs. I haven't seen Bleach in a while and I forgot just how sketchy Soul Reapers were from week one. You would think that they would react to evil ghost Godzilla busting the wall between worlds down like the Kool Aid man would inspire some alacrity in them, but it's like LA police when they get a 911 call from the wrong neighborhood.
Trevor
2023-02-16 03:10:39 +0000 UTCGreat discussion
Xanny
2023-02-16 02:40:59 +0000 UTCSomeone correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think it's a spoiler to tel you that the "Royal Taskforce" thing is kindof an over-exaggeration.
GoldArthur
2023-02-16 02:31:21 +0000 UTCOnly normal protag is Takeru from anti magic academy.
De'Andre Richardson
2023-02-16 02:16:14 +0000 UTCNah, even he isnt normal, but thats spoilers.
De'Andre Richardson
2023-02-16 02:13:48 +0000 UTCSoul reapers are spread by district along with some other reasons why things are fucked. And you'll see more about ichigo a ls the story progresses. He's just Him.
Anderson Lake(The Bleach)
2023-02-16 01:20:01 +0000 UTCMikumo from World Trigger is pretty much the definition of a regular guy protagonist. He does share the protagonist spot with Yuma, who is special, but Mikumo himself is like, definitionally average.
Spudsworth
2023-02-16 00:58:10 +0000 UTCThe menos grande are a problem though. For your average soul reaper.
Anderson Lake(The Bleach)
2023-02-16 00:55:00 +0000 UTCThe powerscaling has problems but I don't think it's that bad. Especially once you know the whole story.
Anderson Lake(The Bleach)
2023-02-16 00:54:09 +0000 UTCDeku is a normal-ass dude who is literally chosen to inherit power in the beginning of the series. We literally watch him become a chosen one.
Spudsworth
2023-02-16 00:49:36 +0000 UTCDictating other fans is also annoying
KimKaiRen
2023-02-16 00:47:03 +0000 UTCChris, the whole point of being a shonen protagonist is not being a regular person. If the main character is regular, it's not shonen.
KimKaiRen
2023-02-16 00:42:21 +0000 UTCI'm disappointed there wasn't a single "Regulators....mount up" comment.
Tim Pierce
2023-02-16 00:38:17 +0000 UTCThe Arc is almost here🙂😁
GGC
2023-02-16 00:02:28 +0000 UTCAll you need to know is ichigo is that guy. He's Him.
Griffin
2023-02-15 23:24:29 +0000 UTCShinichi is a normal person but only Rana and Mickey watched Parasyte.
Richard McClure
2023-02-15 22:45:55 +0000 UTCI think it’s funny how Micky asks the same question 3 times like it was the first time each time. lol And Navi refers to the quinces as “Quincy” like it’s a specific person.
Michael Diaz
2023-02-15 21:54:22 +0000 UTCnope. In a world of magic he was the only one without it does allowing him to use the special swords that nullify magic. seems pretty special to me.
miruryuu
2023-02-15 21:31:42 +0000 UTCI’m enjoying these reactions too much!!
Rand
2023-02-15 21:04:35 +0000 UTCThe only “normal” protagonist I can think of is Asta from Black Clover.
Ernest Mitchell
2023-02-15 19:20:36 +0000 UTCRickie, acquire some chill please. Enthusiasm is fun, overenthusiasm is annoying. You're being "that fan" right now.
Jeff
2023-02-15 19:17:21 +0000 UTCDisrespectful to Asterisk, smh
Shockzz1234
2023-02-15 19:09:31 +0000 UTCbut what if rukia is just repeating a lie she was told? we dont know if she was there during the whole quincy war.........
rickie woodson
2023-02-15 18:54:07 +0000 UTCfirst good bleach song enters! that ending theme is FIRE! home made kazoku is the bad. very m-floish #jhiphop
rickie woodson
2023-02-15 18:36:10 +0000 UTCI actually like the way he handled it and felt like for the most part it was more realistic compared to other shounen. I was more concerned with the smaller lore implications that were never really explained
WhateverIFeelLike
2023-02-15 18:28:29 +0000 UTCI think it’s just a shonen thing in general. In a lot series a few characters strength is in line with the rest of the world and then there’s a moment where the main characters just leave everyone in the dust.
Zangetsu
2023-02-15 18:08:55 +0000 UTCnext week is red head time!
rickie woodson
2023-02-15 18:08:43 +0000 UTCi will say this, dont take much of what they say in terms of power scaling seriously, the whole royal task force bit i dont even know if it was in the manga, the menos grande is not as massive of a threat as rukia made it seem, kubo was still figuring out his worlds power at this point. kinda like how in early naruto they said the nine tails could destroy the planet, but way later on we see moon destruction is the peak of the naruto world
Unstablebeast
2023-02-15 18:04:26 +0000 UTCIts even worse in Naruto where all Kages and Akatsuki became fodder once Naruto and Sasuke got six paths power. The fact that Naruto can solo all Hokages at once is bad writing. Power Ceiling in Naruto is messy af. Adult Naruto and Sasuke can just "No Diff Speed BLITZ" all Hokages and Akatsuki together.
Lord Madara
2023-02-15 17:58:11 +0000 UTCMenos Grande are menos because of the ONE big body from 100s of souls
Kristin Dominguez
2023-02-15 17:49:56 +0000 UTCSoul reapers are placed by territory. Rukia was stationed in the town they are in now but obviously gave her powers to Ichigo but that's why there aren't any other soul reapers around yet.
Christian Callahan
2023-02-15 17:30:03 +0000 UTCash Ketchum asta from black clover kinda technically goku started as a below average Saiyan.
m
2023-02-15 17:28:41 +0000 UTCHmm yeah baby Ichigo's first taste of being the main character, he certainly gets addicted to it. Yeah the early world building and power levels are kinda wonky.
TrixieTurner
2023-02-15 17:28:04 +0000 UTCOne thing I don't like about Tite Kubo is how he handles power scaling in Bleach, and the way Ichigo is written makes it even more frustrating.
LeFlaneur
2023-02-15 17:26:44 +0000 UTCI wouldn't say its purely aesthetic, the names do have pretty clear meanings Menos Grande for example here is suppose to be lesser Giant which will make more sense later and some of crew already guessing what that means for later down the line.
TrueWarriorJak
2023-02-15 17:16:12 +0000 UTCYou guys are correct! The soul-reapers committed genocide to the Quincies for the balance of souls! Bleach has a system of reincarnation but Quincies take away souls from that cycle
Michael
2023-02-15 17:06:57 +0000 UTCLETS GOOO! Next set of episode will be elite 🙏🏻
Michael
2023-02-15 17:02:51 +0000 UTCit is. Kubo has a big fascination in fashion and language arts, especially spanish and german.
olivia
2023-02-15 16:57:00 +0000 UTCDeku is a normal ass dude from there are more normal ass dude as MCs but currently drawing a blank lol.
TrueWarriorJak
2023-02-15 16:49:55 +0000 UTCAlso yeah it seems like hollow related things are usually named with a Spanish type of theme, I think its mostly aesthetic lol
Zana
2023-02-15 16:46:17 +0000 UTCyeah basically Menos Grande is suppose to be/mean Lesser Giant as you guys guessed correctly.
TrueWarriorJak
2023-02-15 16:45:34 +0000 UTCOh god I cant wait for next weeks episodes lol
Zana
2023-02-15 16:43:42 +0000 UTChey Chris you should check out kenichi the mightiest disciple that's an MC that grows through his own hard work
