THE VIZARDS: Their Role in the Final Arc, EXPLAINED | Bleach DISCUSSION

believe it or not there used to be a time when people were really excited for the viazards that pretty exclusive group of exiled shinigami who gained hollow powers through eisens experiments this was before they had started fighting in the fake karakura town and people were expecting them to make a really big splash in that battle and it's safe to say that that never really panned out and ever since then the vizards were considered to be something of a disappointment throughout the series despite that and despite their pretty much ever reduced role in bleach the vizards did take part in the thousand year blood war arc across a couple of different factions and that's something i want to explore in this video today we've done a video like this in the past for the role of waco mundo and the espada and the iran car in the thousand year blood war and the reason i'm doing this is because the final arc is a pretty big arc full of loads of different characters from loads of different races from all corners of bleach and everyone takes part in some form another to fight off the quincy threat in this video we're going to be looking specifically at the vizards in the canon manga and we're not going to include ichigo for simplicity's sake just the exiled goatee 13 members before we hit the ground running with this video though guys if you haven't hit subscribe yet make sure to do so on my channel you are in the right place for bleach videos every single week and we are so close to 20 000 subs which is a crazy number if you can push us there i would really really appreciate the support don't forget to join my community as well follow me on twitter the name is coming up on the screen right now um and also don't forget to join the discord as well we've got over 500 closing on 600 members um and it's just full of people who love bleach and can't wait for the series to return so where to begin then with the vizards in the thousand year blood war arc as i said their role in bleach it pretty much got reduced heavily after the iran car arc and many of them disappeared off the face of the manga from almost the entire time which is a real big shame actually because the characters within the vaisards are really interesting mix of designs and personalities i think probably the easiest way to approach this video is to split it into two halves we look at the vizard captains those three characters that rejoined the goatee 13 and played a more active role in the war itself and then basically everyone else the characters who were left behind in karakura town and definitely had less to do overall and then of course there's mashiro who did rejoin the goatee 13 and had the least to do out of everyone somehow so i think we begin then with the viazard captains in the gap between the end of the iran karak and ichigo regaining his shinigami powers at the end of the lost agent arc shinji hirako rojiro otoribashi and kensei muguruma rejoined the goatee 13 and took up their old spots as captains of squad 5 3 and 9 respectively this was a really really nice development not just for these three characters but for the continuity of the world of bleach it really helps showcase the passage of time and how events have helped change what's going on in the world we know and i really really loved it i think everybody wanted to see this happen and it was really cool um to see these guys get the respect they deserved many people wondered maybe why love hadn't rejoined he was obviously the previous captain of the seventh division so his spot wasn't actually vacant komomora was um taking his place um but you know i always thought maybe he would have some role to play but no he doesn't return in any way shape or form he remains in karakura town so shinji rose and kensei are there at the start of the arc when akon delivers his uh briefing to the rest of the captains that a mysterious force of quincy's has attacked and murdered chojiro sasakibe none of them are seen again until the first invasion really kind of kicks into gear and we basically get to chime in with all of the different captains across the seoul society now none of the three vaisard captains really do too much in this uh opening battle rose is the one who gets probably the best moment in part in my opinion um after his vice captain kira is well you think he's dead but he's not but he's basically dead he doesn't show up for ages but after he's taken out of the battle rose gets a moment where he meets stermiter you nana nanja coop and this is actually the first instance of a stermiter being named in the manga um actually called stern ritz or something kurgayopi was already introduced but we didn't know he was a stomach until later on now rose is in my opinion a really underrated guy i think he's a really cool character and he's actually one of my favorite captains in the series and he does get a really cool moment in this chapter and this chapter also has a fantastic name called bleeding guitar blues one of my favorite chapter titles in the series but pretty much the gist of this is nanana did realizes that something is wrong he realizes that rose is unfocused and that something has affected him and he basically says has someone died and if they haven't then basby has made a big mistake over where he is rose challenges this way of thinking and basically says finding faults among your own teammates is not particularly artful and then he goes on to explain how being around izaru always gave him inspiration for his melodies and his guitar will cry if israel is if either is actually dead and then rose delivers one of my opinion the coolest lines in this little section where he says my guitar and i are already crying don't expect to leave this place alive quincy and that is really really badass and unfortunately it's pretty much the peak of rose's involvement in this whole arc he doesn't really do anything that cool again in the future um but don't expect to see too much of this fight unfortunately kubo cuts away from it and it's never really shown again i just want to take a moment to stop here and talk a little bit more about rose and kira's relationship unfortunately of the three vizard captains this is the one that is simply not touched upon in the canon manga beyond this point and there's not really a lot we could do about that because like i said kira is taken out of the battle immediately and doesn't return until pretty much the end of the series um so rose never really gets a chance to talk about his relationship with kiera or we don't get a chance to see it um but it is nice that rose makes a little mention of kira there um and how that he would be sad if kira was dead after that like i said we flit around between the different captains uh all over the battle you see kent say is wounded at one point um shinji has also taken damage and he and momo are they they seem to just be moving throughout the war not actually fighting anyone at any one point because when yamamoto takes to the stage and you know expresses his rage and his rayatsu is felt all across the seirete momo comments on how angry yamamoto feels and shinji says that um they need to take the fight to the quincy's before yamamoto basically kills them all and leaves him with no one however you don't actually see shinji or momo fight anyone uh in this opening battle which is a bit of a shame and then rose is also shown with a slight injury on his face and then we see nanana later on ambush our motto completely unharmed so i don't know what's going on there um but either way those fights are left essentially unresolved what's kind of weird to me is the stern ritter the initial invasion is that one or two stern ritters attack each barracks basically um so like as not master masculine go after squad six bambieta goes after squad seven um you know kang do goes after squad 10 et cetera et cetera and driscoll bersie clearly goes after squad nine because he's fighting hisagi shuhei and kensei is absolutely nowhere to be seen and it's kind of weird because generally speaking the captains and the lieutenants are fighting side by side in this section so i know kubo obviously wanted yamamoto to battle driscoll but it's weird that kensei is nowhere to be seen i'm not saying he's defeated because i don't think he is because he he shows up um a little bit later on when ichigo arrives i think you get to see can say his face um so it's kind of weird that he's just not there maybe there's another stir meter attacking squad nine or kensei's just not there for some reason the three vizard captains and then later on seen after the seoul society has been devastated but the van der rack have been driven out by ichigo and the three of them are gathered around yamamoto's ruined zampakto mourning the fallen head captain and i do i think this is a phenomenal scene it's a fantastic scene of interaction between the captains it's not something you ever see in the manga again like this is the sort of thing where it's a once in a story moment and it's really special for that the characters are they their backs are against a wall you know they've never been in a situation like this before um and everyone is kind of allowed to let loose of it and i i love unfortunately shinji and rose don't say a word in this fight but cancer gets a really nice moment where soifun is flying off the handle about how you know yamamoto's died and that she doesn't want to hear the bad news about kim patchy and biakia at this present time and kenzie basically says to her you know you're embarrassing yourself um stop being so angry twitch soy fun turns around and says oh were you all bound to not be feeling too upset you've always held a grudge against the old man you're probably loving the fact that he's died obviously completely out of line um soifon is showing her immaturity in this scene and kensei looks like about ready to throw down with her when she says that um and then kamamura obviously steps in um but i really do love that moment with with ken say it's a it's a good bit of character development for him next up we get a nice moment with shinji where he talks to ichigo in the direct aftermath of the battle um and it's a really nice moment because he basically tells it to go that you know you need to push out your chest a bit more you forced the enemy's boss away you did a really good job and you know he kind of helped reassures it you go that renji and rookie are okay their surgeries are are nearly dealt with and then when ichigo leaves to go and talk to miura you get a nice moment where shinji talks to rukia which is really cool and rukia basically thinks that she thinks something is going on with ichigo was shinji thinks it's just that ichigo is carrying everyone's problems on his back but obviously ichigo is concerned inside about his quincy heritage and the revelations about his mother and stuff like that which only rukia could really discern from his nature so after this we then get the prelude to the next invasion and this is where soul society gets a bit of a chance to pick itself back up um and try and prepare itself for the next quincy attack now as rose and shinji didn't have their bankai stolen very little time is spent on them at all in fact i don't think you even see rose until the next invasion however shinji gets a nice moment where he phones up hiyori and tells her that they're going to get some kind of a delivery through and this is the one of the couple of few moments in this art where these two actually interact and it is nice you do get some iran car arc vibes from their argument but shinji basically says that you know there's a job for the guys back in karakura town and they have to get to work and he or is that raging out of him for trying to give her orders and stuff um but then a package does arrive in karakura town and that's something we can get into we talk about those guys um but that's really the only time you see shinji however kensei again gets another good moment here and he and his sagi have gone to the ru kong guy to do a bit of training it appears uh now kensei basically says that he is aware that hisagi knows how to perform bangkai um and he basically he says that you know you need to be able to do it reliably because if i get my bank i stole in the next invasion we're going to need all the people who can perform bankai um you know the more people who can do it the better essentially um and kensei basically gets mashiro in involved to uh help proceed with hisagi's training mashiro this is her only appearance in the final arc very very weird um she's apparently a member of their squad she's the supervised captain completely new position i assume only created to uh play kate mashuro but she then obviously starts fighting um hisagi she also uses her holo mask in this which is very interesting because the three captains never use their hollow masks during the final arc um that is a big question that bleach fans have as to why they didn't use them again as with most things maybe this is answered in carp for your own world at some point but i always assumed they made some kind of deal with the central 46 that if they were to come back as captains they wouldn't use their holo masks at all um but i i i find it weird that they don't use them in the battle against the vandom right because the holo reacts you'd think would have would have been a great um uh weakness for the for the quincy so the fact that they don't get used is kind of weird so uh if that is mentioning can't for your own world do let me know in the comments below i'm still making my way through the book um and that's only volume one as well of course but um yeah if that is mentioned let me know but the fact they don't use their holo masks has always been a point of contention for fans because it does seem like the situation called for it and yet not a single one ever does apart from mashiro use it to train hisagi and then the other guys do use them i think later on but we'll get into that when we get to those guys this moment with uh kensei and his sagi is pretty good however i do like their little conversation kensei basically says you know you better learn how to use your bank reliably because i'm not as soft as tosun was now i always find this bit to be kind of weird because hisagi's characterization it doesn't really work for me this scene like i get that he respected tozen greatly like i don't discount that i know that killing tozen was very painful for his sagi but at the same time he must have been aware of tozen's crimes you know tozen was supposed to be kensei's uh was it fifth seat i think back in the term at the pendulum arc and he betrays his captain not only does he betray him but he literally stabs him in the back um so i have always thought that kensey was perfectly in his right to bad mouth tosin uh but but hisagi doesn't seem to think so he basically says you know you've got no right to bad mouth captain tozen which i just think is nonsense i think kensei has every right to badmouth him but i get that hisagi is obviously a bit conflicted although he did get a tattoo of 69 on his face out of respect for kensei so you know i don't know that's a bit of there's always seemed a bit of a weird scene to me but you know i can see the conflict the next time the vizard captains are involved in the story is when the second invasion happens we get a couple of reaction shots from them as the reich take over the seireite shinji is the first of these guys to be involved in one of the battles and he joins in with komomora to try and fight bambieta bastibain and unfortunately for all you shinji fans out here this is the first of many disappointments with this character in the second invasion shinji uses sakanade for the only time in this arc to try and confuse bambieta and it does work but then she just blows the whole place up and somehow takes him out in a single hit with one of her bombs um he just gets completely laid out and he's taken out for the entirety of the battle and he's not seen again until pretty much the next day of fighting so that is a shame we do get a nice moment with momo though because she absolutely rages out of the fact that shinji's been taken down and she tries to strike van bieter herself but obviously commodore defends her and i do think shinji and momo's relationship is actually handled pretty well in this arc i know for a fact that kubo said that he wanted to showcase their relationship as they've obviously both been victims of eisens um betrayal and his you know and his scheming so it was really nice to see the two of them build a bond throughout the thousand-year blood war obviously their bond is developed before that but kubo does spend a nice amount of time with these two guys the next time we see a vaisard captain is when masked masculine unleashes an onslaught against hisagi ikaku and yumichika where basically hisagi tries to fight mask and he's about to basically have his head crushed like a watermelon underneath mask's foot but kenzie has a really cool introduction where he stops mask's foot with his own uh and now this is this is a very controversial bit i think of the thousand year blood war where kubo completely wastes these two really cool characters and this is what i mean about the viazarf just being completely sidelined throughout this entire arc they get treated so badly um they're basically hype fodder for the main characters um but you know there's a decent fight in here somewhere so kensei without warning activates his bankai tekken touch kaze and we actually get to see what it does that's an improvement over the iran karak we find out that his bank allows him to condense the power of punching essentially into his fist and as long as he's making contact with someone they will be punched infinitely and it's pretty cool that's a pretty nice ability and he uses it to completely wail on master masculine however masks power is pretty broken and he uses the superstar to get the drop on kensei and rose uh both of them are teaming up now to try and fight this cern writer and mask is able to beat up kensei but then kenzie kind of comes back into the fight and overpowers mask but with another cheer from james mask just takes kensei out of the game break snaps his arm almost completely in two and then knocks him out pretty disappointing he is taken out so quickly but now it's rose's time to shine and rose uses his uh shikai kinshada which again is another one of my favorite sheikai's in the series to presumably murder james although it's not quite that simple however rose then uses his bankai kin shadow bhuto down the first time we've ever seen it against mask and this is a really cool banco where he uses his illusory powers to make masks believe that there's both water and fire afflicting him at the same time for some reason rose makes an egregious error and tells mask everything his power can do he literally tells him my power is music if you hear it you you believe that my illusions are real and anyone with half a brain will be like oh okay so if i can't hear anything your power doesn't work so mask literally breaks his own eardrums and then just takes rose completely out of the fight he uses star flash or star beam or something like that and it just roses down and i remember reading that and being like oh man that was so disappointing um but you know it's the vizards do nothing but job pretty much for the entire series i i people were so excited to see them in the fake karakura town and they were so disappointing and that just carries on pretty much through here as well and it's such a shame because like characters like rose have such good designs and ken say as well that they were such interesting powers and it would make a real it would be really nice to see them properly to make a change and there were so many stir meters as well they could have easily had a victory in here somewhere but instead kensei and rosa basically both used to fuel renji's hype um because he obviously comes and cleans mask up but roses rose and kenzie are down and they are they are pretty much taken out the battle for now rukia arrives and basically takes both of their bodies to isane who has set up a makeshift infirmary somewhere on the battlefield and this is a video i actually want to make in the future about how the thousand year blood war actually feels like a war compared to the iran car arc and i i really like things like the fact that the shinigami have had to make a really quick uh medical base in the middle of nowhere i really like that sort of thing personally i think it adds to the realism and the desperation of the situation but regardless rose and kenzie are both placed there they are both uh now in the care of east sane the next time we see them is just after rukia has killed as not and we then travel to isaiah's infirmary where they get attacked by a mysterious cemetery called guenera lee when yachiru gains the upper hand on him however it's actually revealed he's a creation of the real sternway to v gremie thomas who has apparently murdered kensei and rose so he can use his ability of the amount of the visionary where his imagination allows him to imagine things into reality and he says that he has just killed them like apparently they're just dead uh he was sitting on their beds and isani can no longer feel a heartbeat so these two viceroy captains are just dead and unfortunately while we do see them again don't expect to see them alive again until the very end of the arc um and yeah it's just such a shame it's crazy to think that rose's final lines in the entire series are in that master masculine fight he never says anything again at the very least kensei gets to say something in the penultimate chapter but rose never says another line so that is very disappointing when grammy conjures up a massive um like arena to face ken patchy uh rose and ken say fall off the side of it and insane has to go after them and rescue them uh and you i would assume that she does but you don't get to see any of it and the next time you see rose and kensei is not until a little bit later on and they're in the hands of the enemy so i would assume if sane failed to some degree moving on the next character we get to see is actually shinji up and running again after having been healed by momo now after kenpachi has been defeated by grammy uh everyone is kind of converging on his location and we get a really nice moment again showcasing why this feels more like a war than anything in the fake karakura town arc where omada is trying to combat numerous soul that on his own in some alleyway somewhere and he's rescued by momo who uses her shikai to save him and then shinji arrives as well basically shinji says to her minder that if he's thinking of going to help kenpachi he absolutely has to do that regardless of the condition he's in because if kim patchy dies then the war will really really shift in the vandenberg's favor basby then shows up out of nowhere apparently having been eavesdropping on them and attempts to kill them with burner finger three now this would have been a really cool moment to showcase shinji's powers to showcase his expertise and his um skills as a captain but you don't get to see any of it you don't get to see any of it the lava surrounds shinji and from the looks of things he's in an utterly helpless situation but then he just appears later on anyway and it's like okay apparently he's fine um sorry you don't get to see him use his powers ever in this arc pretty much that's that is another disappointment with the vizards however before we even get to that scene it's back to rose and kensei and they've been revived as zombies under the command of giselle jewel this whole section is where this arc does get pretty out of control as you can see from the way i'm jumping from scenarios characters just come and go as they please like they appear almost out of nowhere sometimes the last time we saw kensey and rose they were falling off of this massive arena and now they're zombies under gisele's command so she had been very busy going around reviving people and turning them into members of the zombie army they don't do a lot they basically arrive when hitsugaya screams and uh kind of signals them to arrive and help him out and they fight the revived priveronus spada but again they don't do anything and they get defeated kensei and rose fall to the ground the priver on asparda have defeated them and then mayuri is able to turn them into his own zombies at which point they arrive to help biakea fight pepe and again we are really all over the place here but kensey and rose do arrive to fight pepe kensei lands a big kick on the guy and he goes flying and now they are a member of kurosuchi's corpse squad where basically miuri is going around with this gang of uh well essentially dead shinigami uh anarankar and just everything he can get um and i kind of like that like this very that's very muri to be playing with dead dead people like that essentially um but it's no less embarrassing for kensei and rose to be treated in such a way and it's a big shame to see them reduce to this um but regardless kensei does get a nice moment where he uses sandbag beat to absolutely beat the crap out of pepe and send him flying and he also returns senbon zakara to biakia but just don't expect to see them again because you don't see them again however you do see shinji again and this is when all the uh shinigami are basically called to their strongholds by kisuke because they're going to make an assault on the royal palace and shinji reveals that you know he's kind of healed everyone's healing up a bit and omada reveals that shinji used his powers to help them escape basby don't expect to see it you just told it happens um which again is a big shame but yeah so shinji joins the others and they all plan to basically go to the royal palace of all the vaisard captain shinji is the only one who goes up there uh the other two are left behind shinji goes up to the royal palace with everyone else um and he kind of takes charge which i actually really like because he is actually a pretty senior captain he was already something of a senior captain back in time at the pendulum arc so it's nice to see him get some recognition here where he helps lead the charge into varvelt and now we're in the final stages of this arc um but again don't expect too much because shinji is only here to disappoint in this arc shinji leads them all into varvel and then they get attacked by gerard valkyrie and shinji is you know pretty confident that they can take this guy on until biakia just annihilates gerard and shinji like okay well you know that was good as well however gerard reveals that his shrift is activating and he becomes this colossal titan and his first act of business is to just wipe shinji out shinji gets one shot for a second time in this arc when gerard just slaps the ground where he is apparently momo tanks it however because you do see her carrying shinji's unconscious body later on that's kind of weird because shinji and momo weren't exactly the same place because when gerard starts going crazy momo goes flying and shinji grabs her arm at which point gerard crushes him but apparently momo's alright but shinji is just taking out the fight and you don't see him again the final couple of chapters rolls around and you do see shinji won last time uh and he and momo are basically on their way to rukia's you know uh captain ceremony uh and momo wants to kind of call out to kim patchy and the others they're running the wrong way at which point shinji tells her that no she has to focus on getting to rookie a ceremony that's a captain's order and momo says that shinji only ever uses captain's orders for frivolous things like that and again it's a nice moment for their relationship but that's it really the vizard captains do return kensei and rose have been revived presumably by miuri because he de-zombifies matsumoto and hitsugaya kensei doesn't do much he and he and matsumoto and hitsugai tease hisagi on the fact that he never got a chance to showcase that bangkai that they were talking about earlier um but that's basically it and then rose says nothing and you see him literally once during ruki's inauguration ceremony uh and then that's it that's it for the vizard captains um they don't do much but they do a lot more than the rest of the vaisards that's for sure uh mashiro like i said is never seen again after that moment with hisagi uh training him way back at the start of the arc um kenzie and rose they at least get some kind of a fight with master masculine and then they get involved in the whole pepe skirmish but it's all a bit of a mess and it's the outcomes for these characters are disappointing regardless and then shinji is just the weirdest offender of all he's involved in you know a decent chunk of the ark and he takes a leadership role moving into varvel but kubo just decided you know what i don't want this guy around anymore i'm gonna one-shot him for the second time so that is a big shame but like i said the vizards their involvement is kind of disappointing from from start to finish speaking of disappointing however we now have to get onto the karakura town guys and they just have pretty much nothing to do and they're barely seen in this arc and it's a big shame because characters like hiyori and hatchy and people really like these characters and they just barely show up for this finale however they do show up right at the start of the arc and hiori and lisa are two of the very first characters we see at the beginning of the second chapter of the thousand year blood war they've just come out of a bath house and uh apparently love has gone to go and buy some jump and stuff like that from the local shop whereas lisa and hiori actually get an interesting bit of plot development here he already notes that she can smell a shinigami and she realizes that there is like a strange tear in the world next to her this is all this is really cool and i kind of wish it had been explored a little bit more than it was but basically the quincy are killing so many hollows of the worlds are converging the boundaries between them are breaking down and that is that's evidence of that that tear in the fabric of reality is essentially that that's why she can smell a shinigami because soul society is essentially just through that gap and i really like that that's really cool and that essentially that gap is their role in this story the next time you see them is when shinji gives them a call to discuss that they've got a job to do and they're going to be sending a package their way that package is essentially like a roller it's like a roller and like i assume some kind of spiritual item that allows them to seal the world's back together because that's basically the job uh urohara has for these guys he wants the vizards in the human world to patch the distortion between the worlds back up again i like this i think it's cool that they have a job to do there's a reason they're not shown and that's because they are actually doing something that contributes to saving the world i like that i just i just kind of i don't mind that i just wish they were involved a bit more later on but again like i said we'll get to that but uh yes so they they patch the worlds up and i assume they probably work with yodoichi because she gathers a lot of that energy to help them travel to the royal palace later on um but yeah we you don't really see any of that the next time we see them all the vizards have traveled into the vanden reich to uh be a part of the assault on the royal realm essentially and i think i'm not entirely sure it's explained what they've got but they're carrying a bunch of stuff with them um to help fill the uroharas laboratory with like this strange liquid that will help them power themselves up and help them power the spirit orbs that will take them to the royal palace i think what the liquid is is the same stuff that yoruichi has been gathering it is that energy from the distortion between the two worlds so again it's cool that the viazards did actually have something to do and he already gets a couple of really nice moments here actually um and there's also a really great panel of a lot of them just having like different sized umbrellas yeah because it's raining i really like that i thought that was really cute but like i said he already gets some nice moments she actually gets a chance to converse with urohara which i honestly didn't expect to see um she says to kisuke that she's a she's kind of annoyed with him that he sent ichigo and jodowichi on ahead when she thought they were all going to go up together because it would be safer but she believes that kisake is putting their lives on the line just to buy them some time and kiss kay says that well you know it's all for the sake of the retay you know that's that's why we're doing this and hiyori it's very much her character that she hates the soul society she hates shinigami for what happened to the vaisards and kisuke as i said in my kiscay video has always been very emblematic of the laws of the soul society and the big picture so he and hiyori will always clash pretty hard on those kind of uh those kind of topics so i liked that i liked that she was like i always hated it when you said about the the sake of the say retail and stuff like that i thought that was really cool that line of thought carries on when they're all inside the laboratory and he already uses this massive like funnel thing she's got to fill up the water believe them um and then uruhara asks them all to change into shinigami shihaku show and she does not want to do this obviously because it's representative of the life that she left behind that she felt she was betrayed but love makes her do it love actually gets to do something pretty cool he picks up hiori again it's reminiscent of the way he used to admonish her back in the term at the pendulum days um and he says you know rose and kensei and shinji have all been battling their stomatas putting their lives on the line this is the least we can do and it's a really it is a really good moment it's it's possibly the vizard's best moment because it is emotional and it's very reminiscent of how they used to be in the iran car and their attitudes towards the soul society none of them are necessarily happy to be there helping the soul society but they have this sense of duty to protect the world um and it's just it's a good moment um and they all go and and proceed to get changed and you get to see this really kind of almost like strangely somber moment for hiyori where she's putting on a shihaku show and it's hard to tell whether she's sad about this or there is some element of happiness to it i always took it as that she wasn't particularly happy to be doing it but you know there was that need she felt a need to do it um but yeah i i i think that's a good moment for the vizards in an arc that doesn't treat them very well we then actually follow that up with another good moment for the vaisards uh when the shinigami are struggling to gain enough power to build the doorway to the royal palace there's a really nice moment where lisa lends a hand to nanao and this is the first time these characters like ever spoken on screen we know they had some kind of relationship in the past because of term about the pendulum but it's really nice that kubo actually went back and gave us something it's a bit of closure even if there's really nothing here it's just lisa putting her hand on the same sphere as nanal's and being like you know we can do this and it's but it's really really nice and nano obviously recognizes her she's not going to forget her and i loved that i thought that was a really nice little character moment tiny little character moments like that can really make a scene and i think that sort of thing is it's so good because this isn't the first time the vizards have come together with the soul society to help against a common enemy but it's nice to see it reflected again in the final arc so with the doorway open all of these vizards now go up into the royal palace um to confront you hobart and his uh shut stoffel so like i said we've got everyone here now we've got hatchi we've got love lisa hiyori and then shinji as well obviously there um like i said no mashiro because she'd just been forgotten about i think i can't remember if it's can't for your own world one of the books has a reason why mashiro is not around i think she's i can't remember she's fighting shaz domino or something like that and that's fine i always saw that as just being like a get out for kubo because he completely forgot about this character which i think he did um but that's fine you know we can believe that she's off doing that um but yeah so they all go up to the royal palace and it's just so bad it's it's so disappointing what happens to them um so obviously shinji and the others fight gerard and gerard takes everybody out and then it seems to be left to the visearts to deal with him so we've got hachi love lisa and hiori all preparing to take this guy on and he already tries to fight him initially and there's a nice little moment where gerard tries to um attack her and and she calls him baldi which is obviously her you know catchphrase for almost everyone and gerard's like i have a full head of hair thank you very much which i really like because gerard is this like very literal viking character and he always like i didn't mean that but okay and i i thought that was really good he already then uses like triple sero to attack him which again is really cool um gerard's like that's never going to work on me and he already kind of like well you know i didn't expect it to and gerard gets ambushed by every vizard and it's like that's really cool um and i think lisa and love and hiori are all using their masks i don't think hachi is but they all use abilities love uses hifuki no kodzuchi which is the same ability he uses against stark lisa uses some brand new power that we've never seen before and so does hatchy hatches is something like chocolate bar slider sakido obviously and gerard just dispels them all nothing there's a really cool panel of gerard getting hit on all sides by these powers and then he just smacks them all away like their flies literally like their flies uh all four of the vizards go smashing into the walls and they are never seen again and it's like really because how hard would it have been like we never get to see love's bankai that was a perfect chance uh how hard would it have been to bring a couple of them back in when gerard is fighting hitsugaya i know the fight with gerard was supposed to be the showcase of like the three most popular captains you know hitsugaya kenpachi and biakia um but we've seen these guys fight a million times before and i know it's the end of the series and cuba obviously wanted to give these guys one last spotlight but i don't think anyone would have been averse to seeing the viazards actually get a chance to do something because it's their last chance to shine as well but no they are all just knocked into the walls and pretty much never seen again the last couple of chapters roll around and we don't get to see love we don't get to see hatchy lisa however has been promoted to squad 8 captain that's actually that is a cool little detail that she is another one of the vaisards who returned to the soul society again i i'm surprised that love didn't come back because now squad 7 is vacant you know komomora is literally a dog he's turned into a beast um but love still didn't fancy taking that up so that's kind of weird um but it is cool to see lisa you know uh take up the uh the role of the captain you know she's following in kyoraku's footsteps which i think is really really cool um and she can actually work with nanel in the soul society so that's really really nice to see um and then hiyori actually makes an appearance in the very final chapter she's on the very first page and she apparently seems to work for ikumi now uh you know ichigo's old boss when he had that job in the lost asian arc he or his little cap seems to say unagi on it um so that's kind of interesting that she's taking out that role bit random but i like that kubo again gave her something to do in karakura town um but yeah that's pretty much it for the vizard's involvement in the thousand-year blood war arc there's not a huge amount going on here for these characters um it is cool how there are a couple of different factions of them like the vizard captains are very much their own uh unit and then you've got the guys left back in karakura town but as you've seen the guys in karakura town have nothing to do um and that that's a big shame i like that kubo gave them a kind of nominal role in the story they're supposed to patch up the distortion between the two worlds and one can assume they're successful and then they travel to the royal palace with everyone else but it's just such a shame the biggest disappointment for me is how they were treated in the battles it was really a good time for them to showcase their abilities because most of the viazl's have really unique and cool powers but kubo just clearly didn't really want to he wanted to use them to hype up other characters instead and that's definitely a real shame um so for me the vaisards were once again a bitter disappointment in the final arc um it's just it it i like that we got to see rose's banker at least because of all the visas that is the one i wanted to see the most um but like no shinji bangkai no love bangkai no no hachi or mashiro zompakto you know that sort of thing is just so weird to me um at least we've got shinji's and khan for your own world but yeah that was a real shame how he treated the vizards but i hope you enjoyed the video guys let me
