BLEACH: The Fullbringers | Complete Breakdown

foreign hello and welcome to the fifth and final video in this bleach World building Series where we have been exploring the entire universe of title cubo's shown in masterclass we are looking at all the different races that exist within the different Realms a deeper look at the lore their Power Systems and the World building in the areas they reside in previously we looked at the Quincy the hollows the Shinigami and even the basics of the power system and world and today we will be finishing this off with the last major group of the story The fullbringers this is everything about the fullbringers and this one is going to be significantly shorter than the last few because as you probably know we get far less on the fullbringers than we do for the other races in the main storyline of bleach however in the can't feel your own world light novels the fullbringers receive an abundance of lore and flether Exposition as someone who hasn't read through those fully myself I won't be diving too much into novel material but I've left a link in the description to a fantastic video on the fullbringers that explores much of the novel material for the purposes of this video I want to specifically focus on the material we get for the fullbringers during the manga with only the most crucial light novel material as I've been doing throughout this series the most crucial stuff really reshapes your understanding of the group of individuals or talking about so I've had to include that part due to their lack of extreme relevance in the main storyline of bleach the fullbringers are easily the group within the verse who are undoubtedly the least explored in the manga but that doesn't make them any less interesting or significant I definitely intend to cover the novel material in future content on the channel as there's so many incredible things packed into them that are far too exciting not to cover leech's law is already insane where the light novels really take things up a notch the fullbringers have existed ever since the origin of the Soul King as he is described as a being of all Races excluding only the hollows the Quincy the Soul Reapers and also the fullbringers it could be said that he is the ancestor of the Maul he was a Quincy and also at the same time a soul Reaper and also just a normal person bearing countless abilities like a fullbringer based on this quote the soul King was indeed a full bringer in fact it's probably more accurate to see that all fullbringers come from the soul King which is explicitly stated in the same novel The fullbringers are born through the fragments of the real Sulkin it's a similar thing to how ukitake has the right hand of the Rio Mimi Hagi within him or how Grammy is heavily hinted to have the brain of the Soul King within him fragments of The Rao are somehow tied to the kompaku of rare Souls who awaken fullbring abilities when in contact with a honors riyatsu as you may have noticed if you been watching along the videos in this series that IO was connected to every single race in the entire universe the actual logic and mechanics behind how the soul King is able to exist within people as a limb or an organ or even just a fragment of his soul is very interesting and something I need to cover in the future the soul King is a rather ambiguous entity which makes way for some very cool interpretations and details that are all but confirmed such as the existence of a greater will that conjured the soul King into existence there's also the fact that Gerard is a Quincy who contains the heart of the rail within him but it's unclear whether Gerard in his entirety is literally the heart of the Soul King a manifestation of the heart's desires and ideal Quincy body or if it's a similar deal to gremi and Gerard is a unique individual who a piece of the Rio has latched onto in the place of his heart as you can tell discussing this here with deviate greatly from the fullbringers alone but that does really communicate just how interconnected all of these races are hopefully one day when this mind map is completed I can make a massive video going over the entirety of bleacher's world and actually discuss all of these things and how they pertain to the rail specifically with regards to fullbring history the fact that they are fragments of the rail really says enough that's all we know about their history and all we really need to know as the other details of pretty self-explanatory when you factor in how the world came to be the original sin consisted of the ancestors of the cerete's five noble families mutilating the rail and turning it into an existence that is neither dead nor alive a figurehead that single-handedly maintains the balance of a new world with separated Realms and fixed shapes for life and death in the process of this mutilation tiny fragments of the rail happen to bind with different humans thus making the fullbringers in the manga we don't learn or get any explicit details tying them to the rail but really in hindsight it makes perfect sense we are told that the fullbringer powers actually come from Hollows when a mother is pregnant with a child and survives a hollow attack traces of the hollow's power remains within the mother's body and is passed on to the child ultimately making them a fullbringer birth that is what we are taught in the manga but that's actually only half the puzzle and actually kind of a misinterpretation of how things actually are because fullbringers are the way they are as they contain a fragment of the rail within them and the hollow is what awakens their powers there are already special individuals considering a normal human wouldn't activate any powers they would just die Chad activates his powers after being attacked by the hollow srika and odihime activates her powers after being attacked by acid wire her brother Sora and yes Orihime is all but confirmed to be a forbringer this connection between fullbringers and Hollows is made abundantly clear with ginger stating that their powers are closer to a Hollows than a Soul Reapers I wonder if this means that Ayo has some Hollow within him when a pregnant mother is targeted by a hollow and a fullbringer is born it is the fullbringer within their womb which contains the fragment of the Soul King Ginger speculates that the reason for this has to do with something that intertwined itself into their compaku before they were born the fragment of the rail how this happens why this happens those things are currently unknowable but it is without a doubt deeply concerned with the circulation of Souls and the balance of the universe Souls traveled to and from the soul Society they are reincarnated into a new human after spending time into the congai and their memories are wiped but the soul should still be the same a very very interesting concept I hope is further explored in the future of this story fullbringers are spiritually aware humans much like the Quincy my usage of the term races has been a little confusing as I've used it interchangeably with species so I want to address this very quickly there are currently six different categorizations for the soul that we know of in the world of bleach the humans the beasts the fullbringers the Quincy the hollows and the konpaku who can become Shinigami however the humans fullbringers and the Quincy are very closely knit Hollows and Shinigami have a completely different biological composition which distinguishes them from the others fairly easily the same can be said for the beasts however we only know of komamura and his great grandfather of the werewolf Clan there are implied to be many more beasts and many more Clans with fans theorizing that yoruichi may have come from the Beast realm as she can transform into a cat those races who either look completely different to humans or are just plain invisible like the Shinigami or pluses are easily distinguishable from the Quincy or the fullbringers who are technically human from a biological perspective though it is still best to refer to them as separate and unique races because they aren't really human they are spiritually aware and have supernatural abilities and have a different history but I do guess technically speaking the Quincy and of course the fullbringers are spiritually aware humans and I think the best visual descriptor of this idea are the reraku or Spirit ribbons we see in the first Arc Shinigami have red colored ribbons whereas humans have white colored ribbons and uriu or Quincy has white colored ribbons as well I'd expect fullbringers to also have of white colored ribbons something else though is the fact that ichibe directly refers to yuhaba as a lowly human which further emphasizes that they can be seen interchangeably with humans which would obviously go for fullbringers as well as the Quincy as far as World building goes there really isn't that much for the fullbringers yes they are a lot like the Quincy in terms of being spiritually aware and intrinsically connected to a deity like the real or his son yuhaba but they've never banned it under a leader like the Quincy did they've never conquered kingdoms or created an entirely new realm like the chattan berek at least not that we know of they do have the ability to create Dimensions though or at least one of them does and we'll speak about that in a few moments we have very limited knowledge on the history of any fullbringer let alone one that venture to other Realms like Soul society and Mundo so I left to assume the fullbringers have only ever settled in the human world of course there is one exception we know of but that's a topic for another day also there are just way less fullbringers than there are Quincy they are easily the rarest type of soul in the universe Quincy can reproduce amongst each other and give birth to more Quincy the full bring situation is a bit more complicated as the details of how they come to be is unknown it is concerned with the construction of the fullbringers compaku their very Soul having a fragment of real within it whether this is passed down from the parent soul to the child Soul or rather something even more ingrained in the soul itself as it Cycles through the circulation is currently Unknown by the end of the day the point is the fullbringers reside in the human world alongside other normal humans they live amongst them as one of them based on Ginger's assessment in chapter 433 fullbringers are a mixture of human and Hollow of course the Rayo fragment is a necessary part of the equation as well functioning as a link that tethers the connection between human and Hollow coexistence this makes the fullbringers essentially the polar opposite of substitutionigami who are a mixture of human and Shinigami with Hollows and Shinigami being completely opposed despite being a completely unique ability the fullbringer's power is activated by a hollow's reishi which is why they're so strongly associated with the hollows a point ginjor and his group find disgusting and really really that's what we're going to be immediately diving into the main antagonist of the Lost agent Arc we spend so much time with due to how this Arc was laid out this is really the only faction of warbringers we meet in the entire story execution is made up of some pretty interesting figures and we'll be looking at each of them individually they are a secret organization of fullbringers who live in the human world in naroki city which borders the west of karakura town they are introduced in the story at the beginning of the time skip following the battle against Eisen and preceding the Thousand-Year blood War dead center in the middle of the most dense material of the manga and for this reason the fulbring arc receives a lot of hate for winding down the momentum the story had gathered being disconnected from the rest of the story and exploring Ichigo on a more intimate helpless time of his life those are all reasons why I love the arc as much as I do which is pretty funny and also don't think it's that disconnected from the rest of the story but yeah that's not even the point I found the fullbringers to be really fascinating lately because is of something I've been thinking about the fact that Ichigo is in existence much like the soul King this is an interpretation you've probably heard before but it's been brewing in my mind lately and there's an overwhelming number of details that point in this Direction with Kurosaki Ichigo specifically being deeply Tethered to the existence and motivations of the Soul king or even a greater will that far surpasses the soul King one day when I finally mustered the energy and the effort I will make this happen I have to turn this into a video execution was founded by a character who foils Ichigo in many ways former substitutionigami kugo ginjo the founder leader and member number 001 of execution alongside him are eight others making up this organization which is a very small number but that makes a lot of sense as being fragments of Leo fullbringers are a rarity execution began as a group of individuals who were persecuted or wronged in one way or another due to their fullbringer powers all of which was saved by Ginger who eventually led the group under the name we know it as each race is themed and takes inspiration from a certain country in the real world the hollows of Spanish the Quincy are German the Shinigami are Japanese and the fullbringers are British since we spend the least amount of time with them this isn't as obvious as the themes of the other races but it is pretty clear once you factor in the naming of their abilities each Race's abilities are named in the language of their respective theme and for bringing their abilities are always in English and I actually mean English which isn't the case for any other race in the verse it's hard to notice since most of us read the English translations which usually directly translates the words from whatever language instead of providing a romanization of the term this British theme can be found not only in the name of their attacks but the general Vibe of execution it's designed as a secret service completely isolated from the rest of the normal World kind of like something you'd see in a British spy movie new members are recruited by the current members who approach them and persuade them into joining you can't seek them out yourself since their existence is pretty much unknown to the rest of the world you cannot contact execution without being contacted by them you do not find execution execution finds you their members are as follows Google the founder leader and member number 001 riruka who is member number zero zero three you cure hands who is member number zero zero five and Ichigo Kurosaki becomes member number zero zero seven of the organization for a short wild and then we have tsukushima Mo Chad Jackie and giriko who all have no member numbers but are obviously deeply connected to the organization ginjo instilled the members of execution with a profulbringer supremacist ideology to believe they are better than their human counterparts in the world he sympathized with them and their predicaments they were all suffering due to the abilities they'd been both blessed and cursed with and gathered these incredibly rare fragments of the Soul King under a single banner all for his objective of robbing ichigo's powers and sharing it amongst them he teaches Ichigo to utilize his forebring with the promise that this process will allow him to regain his Shinigami powers in the event that a former substitute Shinigami obtains fullbring the remnants of the Shinigami Powers within their soul will eventually merge with their completed fullbring allowing the fullbringer to use those Shinigami abilities as well little does Ichigo know Ginger was also a former substitutionigami and he intends to steal ichigo's full bring and Awakening his own latent Shinigami powers to enact his vengeance upon Soul Society sometime in the past Ginger learned that the substitution Shinigami badge he had been given by ukitake was actually a surveillance device used to not only keep tabs on game job but suppress his power the knowledge of this made ginjou Furious and he went on a killing spree of stealing several shinigami's Power then disappearing from The Gaze of Soul Society without leaving a trace he simply up and vanished until he meets Ichigo and we get the Lost age in Ark which is actually named after ginjou as the Lost agent of Soul Society so what are these full bring abilities and how does this power system work fullbring is an ability that enables the user to manipulate the souls contained within matter everything in the world possesses a soul even non-living things as rudimentary as chairs and tables these Souls can be absolutely tiny and Vary depending on the object but generally speaking the more intimate the object is the bigger the soul contained within it the amount of radioku the person associated to the object has is also a crucial factor in the size of the Soul contained within for example Ichigo is substitution nigami badge which he spends so much time with and has a strong attachment to as the symbol of the life he once had a powerful protector who had the ability to keep his friends out of Harm's Way is likely to contain a much larger or higher amount of souls within than other objects in the universe because Ichigo is just that powerful and this is a very intimate object it takes both the boxes it kind of reminds me of the creation of zampaktor as Shining got me are given a nameless asauchi which they imprint the essence of their soul upon by spending every waking hour with the sword by using full bring and manipulating those Souls within matter a fullbringer can manipulate the movement of matter or even alter its physical characteristics this is best seen when Ginger uses full ring to manipulate the souls in his drink pulling on its through full ring to draw it into his mouth this can have even cooler applications such as walking on water by pulling on the souls contained within it it's an incredibly versatile technique that is only really limited by the imagination of the user however there is an important difference between fullbringers and other races when it comes to power system Shinigami admit reishi from the Reya 2 within their souls it's a similar deal with Hollows as well Quincy gathered reishi from their surroundings and use that for their abilities however fullbringers they use their physical bodies which means full bring as an ability is incredibly taxing it's tiring and requires a great deal of stamina minute to maintain which is exactly why they train so extensively specifically in stamina as seen throughout the training portion of the forbing arc when a fullbringer dies all traces of their abilities disappear from the world however they do carry their abilities into the Afterlife in Seoul Society the fullbringer equivalent of shumpur sonaidor and hirenkaku is known as bring a light a high-speed movement technique which is accompanied by the flickering of a green light that the ability is named after they manage this by literally pulling on the souls on the ground or even on the air the ability to use this technique signifies that one is beginning to master fullbring every fullbringer has an affinity to a certain object which makes way for the most important part of their abilities their unique full bring We'll go through every member of executions for bring and then Orihime is one of the most prominent for Bringers of the story her character actually has amazing implications on the power capabilities and lore of the fullbringers gingrill's full bring is named Cross of scaffold which allows him to transform the pendants on his necklace into a large two-handed broadsword the sword's handle runs through its guard continuing through a gold hollow space at the base of its Blade the handle is almost the same length of the blade itself a very interesting ability especially combined with his Shinigami Powers which enhances the blade by placing his substitutionigami badge onto the sword and merging it with the sword it gains a new appearance and finally in his Bankai form the new appearance of his sword extends to his entire character design with ginjou gaining a skeletal armor and red fur across his neck giriko's fullbring is an antique gold pocket watch that allows him to set timers upon things and beings to which they are attached this timer is linked to specific conditions that giriko can set however once the time period is established for these conditions to be fulfilled not even giriko himself can deactivate the ability if a timer placed on someone or something is interfered with before the prerequisite time period ends then all things and people are under the effect effect including the area itself where the effect takes place will perish in the Flames of time read request full bring is named dollhouse however this isn't to be mistaken to me and her ability is exclusive to the dollhouse she primarily uses throughout the arc her fullbring ability allows her to freely move people and objects into or out of anything she finds cute the possibilities for this are literally endless the target is shrunk down to accommodate for the size of the objects she is transferring it into hence why Ichigo becomes so tiny when training within her dollhouse Jackie's full bring is named dirty boots which is activated when she rubs her boots together her boots increasing in power the dirtier they get whether it be mud blood or any other substance dirty boots is empowered by these perceived dirty substances tsukushima's full ring is perhaps the scariest of them all and I'll be speaking about the fullbringer's power system holistically in just a second with his specific ability being a major point of Interest book of the end is a bookmark that tsukishima transforms into to a katana with the attack capability of cutting through literally anything this guaranteed cut if delt has two capable functions either to work like a typical bladed cut and ruin the victim or to insert tsukushima into the target's post oh and yeah he is capable of doing both simultaneously victims of the latter function to insert tukushima into the history of the one who has been cut recognize him as someone closely connected to their personal lives they seem as a family member a friend or even a lover he can even use up the roles of other individuals in that victim's history as we see when he hijacks Ichigo in the minds of his closest friends it's an absolutely terrifying ability to literally change the past it's almost transcendental and we'll get into why that might be the case in a few moments yukio's full bring is also another pretty crazy one and since it goes through a much more noticeable evolution in the Lost Asian Arc we'll be talking about both his original full ring and the upgraded version he gains after obtaining some of ichigo's power through Ginger Ginger gives everybody in his group some of ichigo's power but really the changes are most noteworthy in yukio's specific ability Invaders Must Die is his original ability a power activated by his handheld console it's basically a PSP if you're old enough to remember those this gives him access to a variety of abilities but perhaps the most noteworthy one is the one I mentioned earlier in the video the ability to create a separate Dimension from within the game essentially transporting people into the video game a Kubo isekai the dimension resembles a dark blue box-like structure with a tessellated pattern while sealed within the person's riatsu is completely cut off from the outside world thus making them undiscoverable to people who can sense reyatsu Yukio can then control the game Dimension from the game screen giving combatants Health points simulating real life battles while eliminating the risk of death and altering environmental and physical conditions like weather gravity and the progression of time it's an absolutely ridiculous ability with so much versatility it can be used in a million different ways a hyperbolic Time Chamber a time machine a training camp a hideout a way to smuggle large numbers of people into places honestly one of my favorite abilities in the entire story uqo's upgraded fullbring is named digital radial Invaders which allows him to wear his powers and release them essentially meaning you can merge the game Dimension with the real world before his ability was confined to the dimension within his beloved game console and now he can exert his ability onto his surroundings and enemies ichigo's unique full-bring ability is unknown however the object associated with his power is of course his substitution gummy badge by recalling the memories of being a Shinigami having the power to protect his loved ones and the pride of strength Ichigo is able to activate his fullbring powers and manifest them through the badge forming a black riatsu in the form of tensazangetsu's God this weapon is used primarily for defensive purposes which is really fitting considering ichigo's frame of mind at the time and how helpless he feels as he's being protected by Chad and Orihime handling the hollow attacks in karakura town then it upgrades to covering his whole body in a black reyatsu producing a dark blade forming over his arm this is classified as a clad type fullbringer which resembles the shihakusho of the Shinigami his completed full ring design is a white armor covering the majority of his body with his badge turning into a machete-like blade with a silver Edge the badge itself is the god with new markings on it hung across ichigo's back in a white sheath this design strongly resembles the appearance of the asauchi which would make sense given its placement in the story Chad's unique full-bring ability is something we've seen since very early days the right arm of the Giant and the left arm of the devil this greatly enhances his strength and durability turning him into a combat Powerhouse with many named attacks capable of dealing a great amount of damage there's a lot to talk about with regards to Chad's power so much I want to save that for its own video as I think he has the potential of playing a major role in the pending hellog Moshi shigawara who accompanies tsukushima has the jackpot knuckle unique full bring ability centered around the brass knuckle on his right hand the knuckle has a pattern of three sevens in a row jackpot and by having anything come into contact with it he is able to manipulate the probability of a desire outcome for example by punching a tree he hits the jackpot of breaking it in half despite ikaku noting that his punches are so weak that he shouldn't be able to snap a wooden sword with them let alone a tree and finally a character who is not a member of execution but practically confirmed to be a fullbringer Orihime in a way with her the six princess shielding flowers who manifest through her hairpins given to her by her brother Sora Eisen claims that Orihime as well as Chad's Powers were actually awakened by the whole Yoku as they cursed their own powerlessness in the vicinity of the wish granting Jewel but whether or not we can believe Eisen is a different matter because orihime's abilities are absolutely ridiculous they definitely feel like something a hogyoku could accomplish but I do think that's intentional misdirection from kubor and the source of her powers being fullbring makes even more sense orihime's six flowers function as a unit who are all capable of doing different things ayame and shunor are in charge of the healing ability bygone Lily and hinagiku are in charge of defense and Tsubaki is the only flower capable of directly attacking the stronger orihime's anger and killing intent the more powerful he becomes but arguably the most impressive aspect of this ability is the sum of its parts is capable of rejecting phenomena by denying or undoing events in various forms she literally regenerates grimdale's left arm just to name one of the countless ridiculous things she does in the manga Eisen refers to disability as a violation of Divine Law which makes perfect sense with the context of rayo's involvement the left arm of the devil and an ability that violates Divine Law to absolutely ridiculous abilities with religious implications that make perfect sense within the scope of the story in the last video I spoke about how ridiculous some of the Quincy's powers are jugaram's balance uru's antithesis or askin's death dealing or absolutely broken Powers just to name a few but this makes sense given the fact that these powers are awakened by a piece of yuhaba's Soul the son of the Soul bulking a Divine entity fullbringers having ridiculous powers like being able to regenerate torn off limbs create dimensions and literally change the past also makes sense since there are fragments of the Soul King the most Divine entity Chad might be the most interesting of them all since his abilities most resemble the hollows and contain Satanist imagery given how tokidada refers to the soul King as that man who was both a devil and a savior this could have some implications about the soul King who is consistently characterized through allegories and parallels to characters he's connected to every fullbringer is a piece of the rail and their ability reflects that to some extent which is honestly such a cool approach to characterization for the soul King especially considering his former role as the balancer of the universe and that brings us to the end of the video and in turn the End of This World building series we've laid out every major group of the story but this is nowhere near the end of me covering bleacher's lore and World building in fact this is only just the beginning my hopes for the future are bright and I have crazy ideas for Bleach content as there's just an unbelievable amount of material to cover I'm currently rereading the manga aiming to stream two volumes per week and I'll be doing so for months to come in my own time I'll be getting through the configuration World novels and season two of the anime is releasing in July which is guaranteed to have new information thanks to kubo's supervision it's an exciting time for me to be making leech content and I plan to stick with it for quite a while as many of you guys seem to appreciate it thank you guys for supporting the channel and I hope to keep you have an amazing day
