However, the dying Bach turns out to be Sternritter "Y" The Yourself Royd LLoyd who was capable of copying people's memories and spirits, so he deceived Yamamoto's perception into believing that he was the real Juha Bach and the real Juha Bach appears after destroying the First Division building.
After congratulating Royd on his mission, Juha Bach assassinates him and confronts Yamamoto. He explains that he had gone to see Aizen to ask him to join his army; but Aizen refused, however Bach says he had all eternity to think about it. Then he sarcastically asks Yamamoto if he had really used all his power against his "false self". Yamamoto yells at him to shut up and releases his Bankai, but Juha Bach easily steals it. Juha Bach contradicts Yamamoto's original hypothesis about the theft of the Bankai by explaining that his Bankai is not that it cannot be stolen, it is that only he was powerful enough to control such an enormous power and that is why he had told Royd not to did nothing until he returned this clarifies that a Quincy must be powerful enough to control a Shinigami's Bankai, even if it does not do so as effectively as its original owner as was the case with Driscoll; otherwise, if a Quincy is not capable enough to control a Bankai, he will not be able to steal it.
Yamamoto makes a desperate attack, but Juha Bach raises his sword to the sky and draws a huge spiritual arc from which a giant Heilig Pfeil falls. Bach takes the Heilig Pfeil as a sword and cuts Yamamoto transversely with it. Yamamoto makes a desperate attack, but Juha Bach raises her sword to the sky and draws a huge spiritual arc from which a giant Heilig Pfeil falls. Yamamoto has a memory of when he surprised Kyoraku entering his room and when he asked him about the painting that was hanging on the wall which was about him dressed in the flames of his Bankai , Yamamoto tells him that he was a demon who appeared and made things worse in Soul Society, but was already gone.
Kyoraku asks him what would happen if that demon came back, Yamamoto answers that he would probably never come back. After that memory, the upper half of his body falls to the ground, the Captain Commander has died. Kyoraku and Ukitake notice a decline in their Sensei's reiatsu and feel enormous unease; especially Kyoraku who screams worried, but the Sternritter he was fighting takes advantage and knocks him out after shooting him several times.
Juha Bach looks at Yamamoto's body with contempt and urges Haschwaltz the blond Sternritter to retreat, but is stopped by Yamamoto's hand. Bach cuts off his hand and after stepping on Yamamoto's head he tells him that he had not realized that he had not been included as one of the 5 Special Warfare Potentials, and that with the passage of time he had become senile and soft.
He also tells her that the reason he didn't ask Orihime to heal his arm or that he didn't want to involve Ichigo in the Battle of Karakura Town was because he didn't want to depend on a human; and that he had decided to carry the weight of Soul Society and the entire world on his shoulders and had lost. Juha Bach emphasizes that Yamamoto had changed a lot compared to years ago: formerly, the Gotei 13 were only known as Divisions and was made up of a group of bloodthirsty assassins who imposed fear, and Yamamoto was the one who led them as a fire demon who he was capable of anything to eliminate his enemies.
However, everything changed with the death of the Quincys, Yamamoto acquired things to protect and the Gotei 1e became a herd of cowards who doubted their absurd sense of duty and responsibility. Bach tells him one last thing: Soul Society was going to be destroyed, but the 13 Divisions had already died years earlier together with them the Quincy.
After saying that,. After the Soul Society was shattered and the Vandenreich withdrawn, the Captains gather to commemorate the memory of their leader. Unfortunately, they had only been able to put Yamamoto's broken sword in a box, because they could not find any remains of his body. All are in very low morale. Kyoraku intervenes and manages to calm them all by saying that Yamamoto would have been angry with all of them for losing their nerves, and that he would want them to look ahead since they were the 13 Divisions for something.
Since then, no further mention of Yamamoto has been made except to see that Kyoraku is chosen as his successor by Central 46; and Komamura decides to acquire a special power from his clan to avenge him and kill Juha Bach.
Yamamoto's extensive experience has made him without a doubt one of the most powerful characters that exist in all of Bleach, if not the most only surpassed by Juha Bach, leader of the Vandenreich; and by Ichibe Hyosube, leader from Division Zero and all the shinigamis. The immense spiritual power that Yamamoto possesses is such that he was able to bring a sub-captain to his knees and take his breath away just by looking into her eyes. When its power is felt, a clear aggressiveness and a threatening shudder are denoted.
How could it be otherwise, Yamamoto excels in the four basic disciplines of a Shinigami as mentioned by Aizen. As if all this were not enough, his enviable physical form allows him to be a fearsome adversary also in the fields of hand-to-hand fighting Hakuda and with swords Zanjutsu , for which he seems to be especially predisposed, as he possesses an immeasurable strength.
Until now, only one technique called.. When pronounced, a surge of spirit power so enormous that it can be felt at great distances unfolds, while Yamamoto's spirit power takes on the appearance of a flaming aura that surrounds him and begins to spread in his vicinity. So far, the only known ones are:. According to Bach himself, Shigekuni Yamamoto founded the Gotei 13, the Genryu School, was the strongest Shinigami since a few millenium ago, and was a "demon with the sword".
His Bankai was known to all the Captains, akin to something like a legend, and he was portrayed as a rampaging monster. He led divisions of bloodthirsty killers, all of them respected by Juha Bach. Even Aizen didn't dare to stand against him openly, requiring Wonderweiss' Extinguir.
Even then, Yamamoto still managed to suppress his Jigoku Ennatsu, an attack said to be able to kill everyone within the area, himself included. Heck, arguably his greatest feat was that he defeated Bach himself, one on one years ago, using his Bankai, which he managed to improve and evolve upon. So, the heck did the guy who once defeated Bach with an immature Bankai lose to Bach, when his powers had matured and improved? I know, Bach and the Quincies apparently developed some Bankai-stealing shit, which is haxxed as all hell, but is Yamamoto really that inconvenienced by a fodder Quincy and the loss of Zanka no Tachi?
Enough so that from defeated Bach in a legendary battle of all time like what he did years before, to getting one-shotted by Bach? I know, I know, it happened, Kubo dictated it, so must it be, but I'm terribly disappointed. I don't get Yamamoto's hyperbole, not one bit. I'd be happy if Yamamoto managed to put up a fight, Zanka no Tachi or not. He didn't even have to push Bach all that hard.
But getting one-shotted Hell, why did Bach say what he did? About how Yamamoto isn't a threat now that he got soft and discarded his bloodthirsty nature? Isn't his power greater than before? Didn't Zanka no Tachi evolve from the previous version of hurling flames willy nilly to suppressing the flames to greater intensities?
Sure, he lost an arm, but I don't see how it plays that much of a difference. One-shotted, people. It's a mystery. Because of pacing.
It needs to be fast, and if he gets one shotted it looks more shocking. Also reafirms the Sternritter threat. Yeah, I know, it sure as hell is shocking.
But when I try to apply logic to this, I can't. Kubo is really hyping someone who has been defeated before. Don't see how the loser suddenly became the winner. I mean, I know Yama had to fall. I just don't see how it was this easy.
Shark Skin The Heart[broken]. Yama had let his guard down and Bach used the opening to cut him down. That's pretty much what happened. Menshouha said:. Yama is not the only one that was training all these years. And besides of improving Bankai, Yama didnt get anything new, while Bach got new technology, shinigami or quincy powers depends on what he had before and new abilities.
Knowledge on Yamamoto also helped. Shark Skin said:. Kensei13 Well-Known Member. Do people actually read the chapters? It simple really Yamaji got old, thus weaker. Ichigo resolves to himself to break the barrier and free him. When the dust settles, Yoruichi, Ichigo, Shunsui, and Ukitake see the barrier crack and shatter. When Shunsui notes Muramasa combined his power with Ichigo's attack while deflecting it toward the barrier in order to break it, they all realize they were all wrong in assuming Muramasa had placed the barrier around him, realizing too late Yamamoto had put the barrier up himself.
Awakening, Yamamoto, stating they have lost this round, uses Shunpo to move next to them. As Muramasa escapes in a huge column of flame, Ukitake asks Yamamoto what Muramasa is. When Yamamoto is notified of the situation concerning the missing lieutenants, he calls Mayuri to his office for his opinion on the matter.
After hearing Mayuri's explanation, Yamamoto organizes an urgent captains meeting in order to address the current issue occurring in Soul Society.
At the captains meeting, Mayuri explains there is a time gap in the Dangai, and further study is needed in order to determine the cause. Agreeing, Yamamoto, stating Mayuri will be in charge of the Dangai unit, orders Kenpachi Zaraki as security. As the two quarrel about their positions, Yamamoto, breaking up their argument, assigns Byakuya, Renji, and Hitsugaya to assist them. When Byakuya, Renji, and Hitsugaya return from their trip to the Dangai, they present an item to Yamamoto.
Telling him they found it at the rendezvous site in which they were meant to regroup, they claim Mayuri and the others were nowhere to be seen.
Evading their attack, Yamamoto, revealing he could sense their killing intent, states he will not lose to youngsters like them.
All three receive injuries from their attacks. When Reigai-Unohana, arriving, heals the two of them, Yamamoto, insisting this is still a fight to the death regardless of her presence, continues to fight. As the fight continues, Yamamoto, seeing Reigai-Unohana has healed Reigai-Ukitake, calls them " darned children ", and unleashes his fiery-red Reiatsu.
Arriving, Unohana supports him following his battle with the Reigai. She urges him to fall back and regroup, for the Gotei 13 would fall apart without him. Later, while receiving treatment from Unohana, he asks Renji about the situation. Stating they have lost contact with the other captains, Renji, saying it is hard to believe the captains were defeated so easily, suggests the signal Urahara had received may have been incomplete.
Telling the lieutenant there is no need to comfort him, Yamamoto points out the only battle-ready people are the lieutenants and Ichigo's group in the Human World. As he says they must prepare for an invasion, Unohana notes she has noticed Hollows appearing in large numbers. After Renji leaves, Unohana turns to Yamamoto, who tells her she does not have to say it, which she relents to. Later, Yamamoto, going to the Human World, arrives in time to save his subordinates from Reigai-Byakuya with a powerful surge of flames, which defeats the Reigai.
Though Yamamoto insists everyone stay back, Nozomi, determined to not let anyone else get hurt because of her, charges forward to fight the Reigai, prompting Ichigo to back her up. Despite this, Yamamoto breaks free from his imprisonment with an enormous eruption of blazing Reiatsu.
As the three Reigai prepare to engage Yamamoto, Inaba, convinced Yamamoto has been weakened enough, appears to take over the fight. After a brief skirmish, Ichigo warns the captain of Inaba's Shikai, prompting Yamamoto to state he is already aware of it. While thinking of how to handle Inaba, Nozomi offers to be a distraction, allowing for an opening to attack.
Before she attacks, Yamamoto secretly gives some of his Reiatsu to Nozomi's Shikai. She attacks Inaba, who dodges her attacks. Finding the opening he needs, Yamamoto attacks with a powerful fire blast. As Inaba, seeing it, reacts, Ichigo launches an attack of his own. As the explosion settles, Inaba, emerging unharmed, reveals since he could not negate and copy their attacks at the same time, he instead copied Nozomi's absorption power and used it to counter Yamamoto and Ichigo's attack.
When Inaba unleashes all the collected energy against Yamamoto, Nozomi, appearing in front of Yamamoto, attempts to absorb the blast. Unable to absorb such large amounts of energy at once, Nozomi's blade shatters. Before the blast can hit her, Yamamoto, intervening, pushes her out of the way and counters the blast. The colliding blasts erupt and launch them both to the ground.
Badly injured, Nozomi asks him why he saved her after voicing his disapproval of her as a Mod-Soul. Stating his pride will not allow him to be saved by a child, Yamamoto collapses. Later, Inaba emerges, hurt, but still able to fight. As he attempts to take Nozomi, Yamamoto, regaining consciousness, launches a fire blast at him, giving Nozomi a chance to retreat. Inaba goes after her, but Yamamoto is too weak to follow.
During a meeting with the captains in the 1st Division office, Urahara asks for help with restoring Ichigo's powers. Yamamoto tells Urahara to give him the special sword he would be using for this purpose, prompting Unohana to ask if he intends to help. He states they were saved by Ichigo, and it is now their turn to save him, regardless if the action is going against customs, for it would be shameful if they did not help somebody they owed so much to.
He orders all the captains and lieutenants to place their Reiatsu into the sword. Later, a messenger reports to Yamamoto Ichigo has arrived in Soul Society. When Ichigo arrives at the First Division, he meets with Yamamoto and most of the other captains.
After Ichigo explains his reasons to Shinji, Yamamoto states he believes Ichigo thought carefully about it before making his request. In his office, Yamamoto receives reports about the investigations carried out by the Eleventh Division and Ninth Division regarding the disappearances in the Rukongai. As his messenger begins to report about the Tenth Division , he is struck down before he can finish his sentence. Yamamoto turns to find the culprits are seven masked individuals.
When he demands to know who they are, one, greeting him, reveals they are there to declare war on the Gotei One of the masked men states he can tell Yamamoto wants to ask who they are, and they will never answer, though it is easy to figure out who they really are.
He notices their Reiatsu has already disappeared from the Seireitei, meaning they are not affected by the Shakonmaku. At a captains meeting, Yamamoto listens to Akon 's report on the rebels who have declared war on Soul Society.
Mayuri tells them their enemies are Quincy , but he does not know how they were able to infiltrate the Seireitei. Deciding they have heard enough, Yamamoto states he just wants to know where their headquarters are. When Mayuri asserts they do not know, Yamamoto, lamenting how they cannot invade them, requests all captains present prepare for war so they will not be unprepared for an attack the next time.
When Yamamoto, asking why he did not attain permission, notes given the seriousness of the situation, he would have attained it, Mayuri states he would have had to take responsibility if things got worse. Driscoll Berci is burned to the bones by Yamamoto's Shikai. Confronting Yhwach , he states he has come to annihilate the Quincy. When Yamamoto gives a disappointed look, Yhwach asks what is on his mind, prompting Yamamoto to attack.
As Yhwach blocks it, though still sustaining injury to his forearm, Yamamoto tells him he has not changed, and the wicked way in which he looks down on his own subordinates will end here today. When Yhwach states Yamamoto has gotten old, but the way he allows his anger to get the best of him reminds him of when he was younger, Yamamoto tells him to be silent, before attacking. Yhwach evades and generates his Reishi sword, which Yamamoto acknowledges. When Yhwach states he acts as though he was waiting for him to bring the sword out, Yamamoto, acknowledging he was waiting for it so he may destroy Yhwach entirely, activates his Bankai, Zanka no Tachi.
While Haschwalth questions the look of what is apparently Yamamoto's Bankai, Yhwach, telling him he should not underestimate the sword, details its power - it is a sword with a tremendous flame.
Yamamoto tells Yhwach he can try the blade of Zanka no Tachi on his own body and determine for himself if it is the same as 1, years ago or not. Activating Zanka no Tachi, Higashi: Kyokujitsujin , he explains its ability, stating not even the Quincy's Blut Vene can defend against it. Noting the technique is boring, Yhwach, stating he simply has to cut him without touching his sword, moves to attack the Shinigami.
When he finds his own sword has been incinerated, much to his surprise, Yamamoto tells him he is too confident, and he should listen when people talk. Questioning why Yhwach is just standing around, Yamamoto encourages him to run if nothing else.
When Yhwach fires a Heilig Pfeil , Yamamoto destroys it, stating that his attack makes sense: since his sword is broken, arrows are all he has left. As he moves to attack, Yhwach activates Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger. It neither burns nor erupts, but anything it touches is eradicated to nothingness. Even the defensive power of the Wandenreich's Blut Vene cannot stand up against this technique. Automatically activated at release, this ability is unseen by the eyes of anyone else unless Yamamoto wills it to be seen.
It engulfs his body in heat which reaches a temperature upwards of 15,, degrees. Therefore, it becomes impossible to even touch him while he is using his Bankai.
The level of heat produced by this technique is so high, it would not actually appear in the form of flames.
Impaling the tip of his sword into the ground, Yamamoto calls upon the corpses and ashes of the dead who were killed by his flames to come forth and fight on his behalf.
They emerge from a rupture in the ground which comes with enough force to decimate Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger. Using the heat of his sword on their ashes, he can rouse all the people he has killed, allowing the corpses to become his limbs and attack whomever he deems as his enemy until they become dust.
He can bring forth any specific corpse which he wishes, allowing him to inflict psychological damage upon those with connections to those he has slain.
A slash of concentrated fire and heat which incinerates whatever it touches out of existence. This website saves cookies to your browser in order to improve your online experience and show you personalized content.
