Hello guys it's me simo urahara
In this video we will talk about Yumichika's Bankai and what it might be
This video will also be a good occasion to talk about Yumichika's zanpakuto as a whole..
and to clarify some of the fallacies that some fans fall into
believing that the real launch of Yumichika's Shikai
is the bankai..that's wrong I'm also sure that those who don't know
on what basis Kubo built the shape and strength of Yumichika's Zanpakuto
will greatly enjoy the information I will provide
So guys let's talk about all these things
Let's start from Kubo's interview before the start of the last arc
As I explained in a previous video about Kira's Bankai..
Kubo mentioned that Yumichika is among the good characters by choice to have a Bankai
That's why the possibility of Yumichka releasing Bankai was included in the last arc
Especially since Yumichika has all the characteristics that makes him a Shinigami possessing Bankai
and The thing I liked the most about Yumichika
is that Kubo has been building his zanpakuto*s abilities since the beginning of the story
That's why Yumichika is considered to be a good developed character in terms presenting
his zanpakuto's abilities
In chapter 147, when Yumichika was about to confront Hisagi..Kubo showed that the first
launch of the Shikai is not the real one.. but rather hides the true strength of his
Zanpakuto because the Shikai's true strength is a kido type,
which was not in line with the adopted 11th squad fighting policy that is based on direct
combat In that fight, Kubo deliberately hid
the true ability of Yumichika's Zanpakuto..
But he hinted at it after he showed us the end of the fight that happened
between hisagi and yumichika hisai said that Yumichika's Zanpakuto
took all of his reiatsu and This was a clear foreshadowing of the
mechanism Yumichika's Zanpakuto ability.. which we knew in detail in Chapter 321 in
the Battle of Yumichika against Charlotte
! The nice thing about Yumichika is that
he he manifested all the meanings of a peacock!
He is a person who loves beauty and loves to be beautiful..and sees beauty in many things.
These things are found in the peacock!
Peacock bird is characterized by its beauty and stunning colors!
All these things make the peacock a symbol of beauty and self-love!
So Yumichika's obsession with beauty was manifested in his Zanpakuto!
For those who do not know the name of peacock in Japanese, is "Kujaku".
The full name of Yumichika's Zanpakuto is "Ruri'iro Kujaku
", which means "The Azure Peacock".
The word “azure” refers to a color that is between blue and cyan
and This color is what distinguishes the neck
of a peacock..
As you can see in this picture, the neck of the peacock is
distinguished by this color! and this is why
Yumichika's Zanpkato loves it
and If Yumichika calls it by that name it will release its true power
but Yumichka deliberately doesn't call it by that
name, so he wakes it up with with this order release
blossom 'Fuji Kujaku and .
'Fuji' means 'wisteria'
This name is the name of one of the shrubs that are distinguished by their purple flowers!
so the zanpakuto of Yumichika doesn't like calling him like that..so instead of showing
his full strength, he releases part of his strength..so that the zanpakuto flourishes
and the sword becomes 4 swords!
Thus, the Shikai appears like this..which enables Yumichika to fight as he likes..but
not with his full strength!
So what happens when Yumichika's zanpakuto is released by its real name?
What really happens is funny thing
Because the way a Yumichika*s real Shikai displays its powers is the same as the way
a peacock does when it wants to attract the attention of a females!
Watch this section of the video!
If you notice the peacock, when it wants to show off the beauty of his feathers, it screams!
! Then it raises his feathers featured by those spots! who are like eyes
and this process is almost the same as when Yumichaka does the launch command ''Tear in
frenzy'' AZURE PEACOCK
So that we see those threads coming out of Yumichika*s Zanpakuto, which are the same
ones that are found in the peacock .. as well as those spots
and those spots are like eyes and those eyes the same as the flowers that
are found in the real Shikai of Yumichika Therefore, the peacock's scream in this way
is parallel to the launch command " Tear in frenzy" and the show that the peacock makes
after it is The same as what a Shikai does to get around
the opponent in this way...
While the flower blossoms by absorbing the opponent's Reiatsu, it can be considered as
the completed operation of the fake launch ability of Shikai.
It can be said that Kubo relied a lot on the behavior and nature of the peacock in Yumichika*s
Zanpakuto formation!
Therefore, it is possible that the Bankai is related to this bird, whether or not Kubo
borrowed some of its characteristics as an animal or that he depended on the legends
that were said about this bird!
I personally have done some research on the symbolism of the peacock in several cultures,
including Japanese, Chinese, and even in Greek mythology.
And I found a common link between them it*s that the peacock symbolizes immortality
so it is linked to the phoenix in Chinese culture.
Some consider the peacock another incarnation of the phoenix ....
Also, in Greek mythology, the peacock was associated with Hera, when her watchman the
hundred eyed giant Argus was killed, she put those 100 eyes on a peacock's tail!
That is why the eyes of the peacock's tail are considered the eyes of the giant Argus
But the thing that most cultures agree on, especially in Japan, is the peacock's immunity
against poisons.. the peacock eats poisonous plants that usually kill humans...as well
as its ability to kill snakes, in some areas it is called 'snakes killer'
So I think that Yumichika*s Bankai may be providing the latter with immunity against
poisons and even curses!
To be clear, the Bankai may be an extension of the abilities of Shikai with more power...or
it may be like Hisagi*s Bankai.
So that the zanpaktou fulfills Yumichika's desire!
Yumichika's desire is to have a zanpakuto that can fight head-to-head against an opponent,
not as kido type We noticed how he'd rather die than be seen
by his 11th squad mates fighting with Kido*s Zanpakuto!
But at the same time Yumichika can't sacrifice more than what he adopts as a life principle!
which is beauty!
So I imagine that the Bankai will be form like the two wings of Kido that distinguish
Yumichika and have 100 eyes! and
A formed blue crown will adorn Yumichika's head, reflecting his beauty values
and In exchange for a sword that enables direct
combat, the Bankai will abandon those threads that bind the opponent in Shikai!
So that Yumichika will have a glowing sword that has the ability to receive the opponent's
attacks whatever they are, and the 100 eyes will turn those attacks in reatsu, making
Yumichika more powerful.. and his strikes become more deadly the more attacks he receives
from the opponent
And as I said, the Bankai will make him immune to poisons!
Because this is the Peacock's greatest ability!
That's why I think Yumichika could have been a real counter for both Askin and even Gisele!
and I believe guys that Yumichika*s Banki would have been impervious to poisons!
So I imagine any fight against Askin or even Giselle..
Yumichka wouldn't have suffered because of his Bankai ability!
A Bankai that absorbs attacks and turns them in its favour!
And has a powerful cutting ability because of his glowing sword!
Above all, the Bankai protects Yumichika from poisons!
