In this video, I will talk about Ichigo's family, as well as the secret of the blood
of their family.
Of course, when I say Ichigo's family, I mean the Shiba noble family!
This family, in my personal opinion, is the only family that Kubo told us a lot about
compared to the rest of noble families Both in the manga and the novel!
Especially in the novel because it contained very important information about this noble
family!
To proceed to talk about Shiba, we must start from the beginning!
And the beginning will be with the first ancestor of the Shiba family!
Because of this ancestor, it can be said that his characteristics as a personality are the
common traits that we will find, whether in Ishin Shiba or Kain Shiba, as well as Ichigo
Shiba!
So I think if Kubo wanted to draw the founding ancestor of the shiba family, he might be
a replica of both Kain and Ichigo as shape! and
we have spoken of the ancestors of noble families being the original sinners in making Rio in
that humiliating condition! by sealing him & cutting his organs, etc
But at the same time, we cannot say that all the ancestors were the same!
If we come and analyze the positions of the ancestors, we will find that between the ancestors
there were two contradictory parties!
Bad party!
Evil party!
Party thinks in his interest!
And he wants to take advantage of Ryo's abilities and control his power, which is the ancestor
of Tsunayashiro!
This ancestor was the one who came up with all those demonic thoughts.
He was the one who decided to seal Ryo, the one who came up with the idea of tearing him
apart!
While there was a party was against all these ideas put forward by Tsunayashiro ancestor!
This party was the ancestor of Shiba! and Shiba's ancestor, as Ichibei said, was
against Ryo's sacrifice!
He even worked hard so that Rio would not be a victim of Tsunayashiro's ideas!
and he wanted to be in the place of Rio!
He wanted to sacrifice himself , and as Ichibei said, he was looking for
a technique that would enable him to become in Reio's place.
What is important is that this conflict between the attributes of sacrifice and the desire
to protect others represented by the ancestor of Shiba did not withstand the greed of the
ancestor of Tsunayashiro.
And there is no doubt that the rest of the ancestors were inclined to the desires of
Tsunayashiro!
Because after that.., after Ryo was sealed and cut off, the ancestor of Tsunayashiro
intended to erase Shiba from the history of the Soul Society.
As if this act was a reaction to what Shiba's ancestor was doing in opposition to Tsunayashiro!
In the sense that the rest of the ancestors were with Tsunayashiro and the latter, and
because he saw that Shiba's ancestor was the only one who did not agree with most of what
he said, he decided to punish him as if he was saying, "Ah!
So, you wanted to stand in my way, then I will erase you from history.”
That is why we find that the status of the Shiba family is not like the rest of the families,
even though they are on the same level in terms of status!
They are all considered one of the Five Great Families, and here I must explain the structure
of the Shiba family!
Apparently, because of what Tsunayashiro had done, trying to marginalize the Shiba family...the
main branch of the family decided to live outside the Seriiti...meaning in a period
that we don't know and it wasn't mentioned...The main branch of Shiba resided in the Rukungai!
This branch is represented by Up Kane, Kaku, and Django..these are the main branch!
A long time ago, as we said, they lived outside the Seriti
At the same time, a branch of the family was still living inside the Seriti and its Ishin
Shiba branch...
Isshin Shiba is the uncle of the three brothers Kain, Kaku, and Jango!
That's why when Isshin Shiba was still the leader of the 10th division ..the family was
still considered one of the Five Noble Families!
But with the death of Kain Shiba! and I have to confirm again :3 that the incident of Kane's
death was before Flashback Ishin!
This is confirmed in Rukia's novel and Hisagi's novel!
The important thing is that despite the death of Kaine Shiba, this was not something that
called for any decision about the family.
But what happened to Isshin and his decision to leave the Soul Society in that way.
The entire family was expelled from its position as a noble family!
Here we come to an important point, which is the actions of the Shiba family!
Several personalities spoke of the fact that this family the blood of sacrifice and doing
what their hearts dictate to them is the characteristic that distinguishes them...
so that they don't care about the laws as much as they care about what they see as the
right action!
Shiba's ancestor wanted to sacrifice himself because he thought that what Tsunayashiro
wanted to do was wrong!
Isshin Shiba sacrificed himself, and based on his action the rest of his family was expelled
to save Masaki!
Because he saw that this is the right action!
And Frankly, I see Isshin's sacrifice as one of the greatest sacrifices that we can see!
Sacrifice your position as captain of 10 divisions!
Sacrifice returning to your family and returning home!
And more than that, to sacrifice your existence as a Shinigami and become a human without
any powers!
Frankly, what Isshin did is the most prominent example of the manifestation of the concept
of sacrifice in this family Kain Shiba, and as Hikovoni mentioned, he
also has these qualities!
He decided to fight the Hulu "Mestasia" alone because that's what he believed in!
And we come to Ichigo!
When Ichibei saw Ichigo for the first time, he saw the traits of Shiba's ancestor, and
even though that he was the person who might be the right person to be the King of Souls!
And in several situations, Ichigo decided to sacrifice himself to protect others!
He decided to become a substitute Shinigami to save his family!
He decided to sacrifice his Shinigami powers to protect the world!
I mean the concept of sacrifice is in the blood of Shiba!
Even Ichigo played an important role in changing the concept of Kuchiki Byakuya, who was attached
to the laws and insisted on executing his sister!
-- That is why I think that the members of the
Shiba family, centuries ago and thousands of years ago, had these qualities that were
contrary to the characteristics of the rest of the noble families.
Especially the Tsunayashiro, so they marginalized the Shiba family and gave an inferior image
around them..and perhaps they carried out several schemes for them, that made the main
branch move outside the Seriti!
And frankly, I doubt that the Shiba took a part of Rio!
I even think that they were developing, for example, as I said, a technique to rid Rio
of that situation he was in or something like that!
By way of example, I find that the Shiba family, like the Stark family in the series Game of
Thrones!
While the Tsunayashiro family can be compared to the Lannister family, a family that only
cares about its interests!
And Another thing I would like to point out is what Ichibe said about Ichigo!
He mentioned that when he saw Ichigo, he was sure that Ryo's interest in Ichigo was because
he had qualities that would make him able to take his place.
but because that didn't happen, Ichibei said that the world then still needs
him!
So do we understand from this that there is still another danger coming?
Danger greater than Yuhabach? and Ichigo needs to face it?
Especially with the chapter on Hell!
So, did the world keep Ichigo free because there is still a danger coming..and this danger
will come from Hell this time!
And in it, Ichigo may have to make another huge and unusual sacrifice!
Especially with the involvement of his son Kazui in the events and his relationship with
hell!
