Goodbye Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto! – Bleach

4 Replies

A brilliant and graphic image between two colours, black and red gives this dedicated image to Yamamoto’s last moments a great amount of emotion. Plus the author includes Yamamoto’s beast Bankai, Zanka No Tachi, in it’s most intense moment against Juha Bach, unfortunately Yamamoto was easily tricked and killed with just one swipe of Juha’s sword!

The author dedicates this fantastic image to the brilliant Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto who was very loved by every fan. He’s reiatsu lies beyond anyone else’s even if he’s the oldest Shinigami, he’s one which should be remembered and not forgotten because the surviving Captains are likely to use his determination to wipe all Quincy’s off their world.

The magnificent image above was drawn by the one and only shazzo-nica. The image drawn wasn’t drawn on Photoshop or SAI, but actually on paper which was scanned. Go and check them out, they’ve got an amazing collection of great Fan Art!

Hell Raiser – Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto

2 Replies

In one of the recent manga chapters, we noticed that Yamamoto had gone completely berserk in order defeat Juha Bach. This fantastic image was inspired by the awesome and powerful Bankai, Zanka No Tachi, South! It was ignited after Juha Bach had mentioned that nothing can get past the defense of a Quincy.

Yamamoto activates this technique by thrusting his sword towards the ground then calling upon the corpses who were killed by his flames and turned into ashes, to fight for Yamamoto for a certain amount of time. Using the heat of his sword on their ashes, he is able to rouse the people he previously killed who can act as his limbs and attack for him.

The crazy and wonderful image of Yamamoto was drawn by Fhalei. She’s got some other impressive fan art from other anime’s which you should definitely check out.

Juha Bach Dead?! – Zanka No Tachi North – Bleach 509

37 Replies

Bleach 509 is possibly the end of Juha Bach. We see his body nearly and swiftly cut, we also find out the reason why some Shinigami’s Bankai’s are not being stolen, it’s because the limit of it has not been found yet. Yamamoto also releases Zanka No Tachi North!

Bleach 509 starts out as Juha Bach’s defense crumbles as the bones and skeletons start to raise from the ground beneath. Juha Bach asks himself what this is because he doesn’t yet know the limit of Yamamoto’s Bankai. The corpses head towards Juha Bach wanting to take him down, they respect Yamamoto as he’s the one who brought them back. He says Kaka Juumanokushi Daisoujin (Literally Meaning Grand Array of 10 Trillion Dead and Buried by Flames).

Yamamoto tells him that these corpses are those of the ones he’s slain. His blade has given them heat and called them forth. The awakened dead become his hands and feet, and chase after those who oppose him. Until they become no more than dust. Juha laughs and tells him that he laughs because he has called forth the dead, he brings disgrace upon the Shinigami.

Juha Bach tells Yamamoto not to think that he can easily be beaten just like that. As Juha goes for the attack, he’s blocked by the bones. Yamamoto tells him that he’s mouth is working just fine, but his eyes aren’t working as well, he then tells him to take a good look. He tells him to take a good look at the bones of who’s trying to defeat.

Juha Bach notices that a few of them are old Quincy’s who were with Juha, he notices the first as Zeidritz, the second and third as Argola and Hubert. Yamamoto asks him how it’s like to face his own subordinates. Juha calls him a bastard. Yamamoto backs away from Juha Bach and tells him that he’s just making some distance.

Juha tells Yamamoto that if he wants to kill him, then he should come at him and kill him. Yamamoto asks Juha if he regrets not stealing his Bankai. Yamamoto realizes that it’s not that you didn’t steal his Bankai, but rather that you weren’t able to. Yamamoto figures out that the way to steal a Bankai is to analyze it and then steal it, which didn’t work on Ichigo because he’s just achieved his Bankai recently, and there is room to evolve it.

Yamamoto didn’t even display his real strength 1000 Years ago, and thus he wasn’t able to steal it because he didn’t know the limit of it. Yamamoto tells Juha that this is the end of him and shouts loudly. Yamamoto tells Juha that he still had a human heart at the end. Juha tells Yamamoto that he shouldn’t speak like he knows him.  Yamamoto tells him that he can see his tear.

Juha runs towards Yamamoto, at each point he starts to break the Quincy’s bones, all the bones of his subordinates. Yamamoto gets angry once again and finally enables and releases his Zanka No Tachi North! Yamamoto strikes his sword with a clean swipe! This cuts  Juha Bach in half! His left arm has been turned into dust.

Juha Bach falls down knowing that he won’t be able to do anything else! Yamamoto’s Bankai starts to disable as the fiery Zanpakuto starts to becomes a normal sword.The environment as well as Yamamoto’s body starts to once again become normal. It starts to rain. Juha says that he wasn’t strong enough, he also says that he’s sorry and quotes his own name, as though he is someone else and not Juha Bach. Bleach 509 ends here!

What an epic ending to such a one-sided battle! That was certainly a fantastically powerful match! The respect which Yamamoto had for Juha Bach at the end shows that there could be something that we still don’t know, possibly their past! Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 510! It’s going to continue with the other fights!

Yamamoto’s Zanka No Tachi South – Bleach 508

13 Replies

Bleach 508 fires up the whole arc with Yamamoto’s rage towards Juha Bach! We finally see that Yamamoto’s Rage is more than just flames but actually something which is a desire to kill Juha Bach! Even the most powerful of defenses from Juha Bach is easily destroyed by Zanka No Tachi South!

Bleach 508 starts as we just see flames! The Quincy watching from outside notices if the 15,000,000 Degrees of heat which he thinks is an absurdly high temperature could be visible in the forms of flames, he asks himself if it’s an illusion then answers that it’s not.

It’s the overwhelming power of Yamamoto’s reiatsu, such that the reiatsu blowing off looks like flames. The Quincy keeps on looking and wondering of how he’s doing such a thing. Yamamoto quickly tells Juha that he wants to quickly end the fight, he also says that if they don’t end the fight, Juha, Yamamoto and the whole of Soul Society will burn to ash!

Juha notices that he’s being roasted! His eyes, hair and throat are all being dried up. If it wasn’t for his Blut Vene, as well as the distance, he would have turned into ashes. Yamamoto asks him if he’s just to keep staring. Yamamoto reminds Juha that without his broken sword he won’t be able to do anything else.

Yamamoto tells him that even if he runs, he will capture and kill you there and then! At this point, Juha throws a arrow towards Yamamoto which goes at lightning fast speed. Yamamoto stops it just using his hands. Yamamoto realizes that he also has his arrows. Yamamoto then goes towards Juha while Juha backs off because of his weakened defense.

At this point, Juha lifts his arm and tells Yamamoto that Quincy’s abilities aren’t just limited to the Cross and Heilig Pfeil. He then lifts these rods and calls out Kirchenlied (Literally Meaning Holy Hymn), Sank Zwinger (Literally Being the name of a Palace in Dresden, Germany).

Juha Bach reveals that this technique is the greatest of the spells which is the best to protect the Quincy user within. He says if Yamamoto steps inside, the Light of God will tear him apart. Yamamoto steps in and tells Juha that he told him  that nothing will work. He touches the ground.

He says an enchanting, Oh Corpses, Ashes of the Dead Scattered by my Flames, Lend me your Aid! For a Spell, I shall grant you the pleasure of battle! Zanka No Tachi South is activated! Kaka Juumahokushi Daisouyuh! (Literally Meaning Grand Array of 10 Trillion Dead and Buried by Flames)! A large number of bones and such wake up with their sword! Bleach 508 ends here!

What an incredible chapter! Only one more power from Yamamoto is left! North is going to be an epic power from Yamamoto, he’s going to be impossible to beat, Juha Bach will have to run away or die there! Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 509!

Yamamoto’s Zanka No Tachi East & West! – Bleach 507

41 Replies

Bleach 507 continues with the incredible battle between Yamamoto and Juha Bach! We learn that Yamamoto’s Bankai Sword isn’t just a sword, but an intense Zanpakuto which turns everything into ash, even the Blut Vene system would not be compared to Yamamoto. Yamamoto also reveals his Zanka No Tachi East & West!

Bleach 507 continues on from last week’s chapter as the Blond Stern Ritter asks himself if what Yamamoto revealed his Bankai is would even count as a Bankai. He asks himself if the little scorched blade left after the fire is the Bankai. Juha Bach tells him not to underestimate him because the Zanka No Tachi is a Bankai that incorporates in that little blade full power of Yamamoto’s Flames.

This meaning that one swing would mean the end of the opponent. It burns anything it cuts to ash, it’s a sword with tremendous flame power. Yamamoto agrees at his judgement, he says that he’s already seen his Bankai a thousand years ago and should understand how powerful it is. Yamamoto asks Juha if he thinks it’s going to be the same. He can try it on his own body to check whether it’s the same as the one a Thousand Years ago.

Ukitake and Shunsui both notice that they’re throats both feel dry, Shunsui also receives a wound on his lip as a sign that Yamamoto’s Bankai has been released. Unohana also notices the change as the pot with water starts to disappear. Isane also notices that her skin feels dry, Unohana tells her that it’s the first time she’s say something really girly.

Unohana tells herself that before Soul Society is destroyed, he should use his own power to defeat him. Toshiro and his Stern Ritter opponent are fighting, Toshiro notices that his Bankai is currently useless because all the water in Soul Society is slowly vanishing. Ukitake and Shunsui both notice that this is the power of Zanka No Tachi! Silently, Silently, Like a Glowing Ember.

Yamamoto steps forward and swings his sword, it cuts the cape which Juha Bach is wearing but no fire or flames appeared. He asks himself if he’s Bankai did change compared to the one a Thousand Years ago. He reminds himself of all the abilities of a Shikai and Bankai, he tells himself that a Shikai and Bankai don’t use a different ability.

The power of Yamamoto’s Bankai is fire, there is no mistaking it that it’s fire, so then he asks himself where the flames went. Yamamoto touches his sword on the ground, moments later, the ground which the sword touched completely vanished. Juha Bach is flabbergasted as the unseen potential of Yamamoto’s Bankai!

Juha Bach shouts at Yamamoto that it’s the point. Yamamoto tells him that he’s correct, Yamamoto then keeps on swinging the sword. Yamamoto then releases his power, Zanka No Tachi, East! Kyoku Jitsu Jin! He says that all the heat of his flames is focused on the edge of the blade!

Yamamoto tells Juha Bach that his Bankai doesn’t burn nor does it fire up anything, it just blows away! Anything it touches it left without any traces. Yamamoto keeps on attacking, he reveals that even the Quincy’s Defensive Blut Vene has no effect.

Juha Bach then reveals that it’s a boring Bankai because all he needs to do is attack Yamamoto without touching the sword, so cut Yamamoto on any of his body parts. Juha Bach tries to attack Yamamoto on his head he looks at his sword and notices that it’s completely disappeared!

Yamamoto tells Juha that he’s too confident. Yamamoto repeats himself, he just said Zanka No Tachi, East! He tells Juha that if there’s an East, then there’s a west! Juha Bach then lays his eyes upon Yamamoto’s change in Bankai! Yamamoto shows him the  Zanka No Tachi, West! Zan Jutsu Gokui (Literally Meaning Prison Uniform of the Remaining Sun).

Yamamoto shows Juha Bach this form and tells him that it reaches a temperature of 1,500,00 Degrees! He tells him that he cannot even touch him whilst using his Bankai! It’s as if his body and sword are clad in the sun’s flames! Juha Bach states at Yamamoto in fear as well as shock as it seems he won’t be able to do anything! Bleach 507 ends here!

Yamamoto is seriously trumping Juha Bach right now, it’s as though Juha Bach won’t be able to do anything! But the one thing we still haven’t seen is Juha Bach show us any of his powers yet so Juha Bach could still defeat Yamamoto is he showed off his powers too! Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 508! Hopefully the battle between these two will continue!

Yamamoto’s Bankai Zanka No Tachi Release – Bleach 506

65 Replies

Bleach 506 is an exceptional chapter with huge load of epicness! Yamamoto has finally released his Bankai, named Zanka No Tachi (Literally Meaning Long Sword of the Remaining Flame). We also see Juha Bach also carry a sword which could mean that he could also be a Shinigami.

Bleach 506 starts out as both Shunsui and his opponent try to get their morale up to keep on fighting. Shunsui’s opponent tells Shunsui that it’s admirable that he can also raise his morale, but he’s also got one thing wrong.

Yamamoto tells Juha Bach that it’s been over 1000 years and that he’s there to annihilate him. Shunsui’s opponent tells Shunsui that their boss, Juha Bach will defeat their boss Yamamoto. This is because he’s not the only ones who morale gets raised by their boss’ fight!

Within a few moments NaNaNa Najahkoop, As Nodt and a third member who’s not yet been named all face Yamamoto all at once! As Yamamoto looks up at them, he raises hell itself as his fire engulfs everything around Yamamoto which burns the hell out of the three members!

Shunsui tells his opponent that they’re correct, they’ve got something wrong. But regarding Yamamoto, it’s best to leave it be with him because the damage he does is out of this world! So it’s better not to get in his way! The opponent looks at the flames as though he’s Boss is already dead!

Shunsui tells him that the logic they had is not going to work! Juha Bach calls his own Quincy Stern Ritter’s Foolish People because they couldn’t measure the intense power Yamamoto had. He blames it on them for meddling in his fight with Yamamoto.

Yamamoto looks up and then looks Juha Bach with such dangerous eyes. Juha notices them as to him it seems as though he wants to say something. Yamamoto quickly attacks but it’s defended using Juha Bach’s Blut Vene. Yamamoto tells Juha Bach that he’s not yet changed.

Yamamoto tells Juha that the wicked way he looks down on his men will also end here. Juha Bach tells Yamamoto that he’s gotten old, quoting his older name, Shigekuni Yamamoto. The way Yamamoto always let anger get the best of his reminds of when he was younger.

Yamamoto disagrees and quickly attacks, which misses Juha Bach by just a short distance. Juha uses one of the Quincy medallions and pulls out something. We finally see that he’s finally taken out his sword! The sword is a little similar to that of Ichigo’s but a little smaller.

Juha tells Yamamoto that he talks as if he was waiting for him to take his sword out, Yamamoto agrees and wanted for him to take out his sword, so that he can smash his Flesh, Blood, Sword and Soul into many tiny pieces!

The flames quickly vanish and Juha Bach is surprised to see that they’re not around. Within that moment, we see the word which has not been spoken by Yamamoto in such a long time! Bankai! Yamamoto finally reveals his Bankai! Zanka No Tachi (Literally Meaning Long Sword of the Remaining Flame) is released! Bleach 506 ends here!

Yamamoto is finally going to reveal his Bankai and it’s going to be epic! It’s going to do such a large amount of damage on anyone it faces! As powerful as his Shikai is, his Bankai could be a thousand times more powerful! I really want to see Juha Bach’s face in defeat after Yamamoto burns him! Can’t wait for next week’s Bleach 507, hopefully we see the ending to this fight soon!
