  3. [Tidbits][Ep.9][Lotta Reading]
    – In bleach experienced fighters rely on their ability to sense rieatsu when in battle, which is called Reikaku. Shunsui is using this to practically trick Lille, he's leaving behind reiatsu constructs that mimic his full body…he's practically making after-images

    – The Game Shunsui is playing at the start called “Daruma-san ga Koronda” is basically red-light green-light

    – Lille Barro’s ability of “Intangibility” was hinted at when he fought Oetsu, If you recall Oetsu at one point attempted to slash him yet the blade went through.

    [As an aside, the battle between the 0 Squad and the Schutzstaffel gave at least 1 hint at each member's ability, so for those interested you can go back and watch that battle and see how they did it]

    – Many fans have mixed feelings on Lille’s Volstanding look, however, I think it’s very fitting when you understand what Kubo is going for. Quincy obviously have biblical influence, Lille upon his transformation gains 4 pairs of wings, meaning in regards to the bible he’d be a Seraphim (Angels with 8 Wings)

    [Seraphim angels are primarily responsible for constantly praising and worshipping God, specifically by repeatedly proclaiming "Holy, Holy, Holy" while circling around the throne of God, signifying their intense devotion to God's holiness; their main function is to glorify God through their unceasing worship and remind others of God's sacred nature.]

    – We finally see why Shunsui couldn’t use his Bankai when he fought Starrk. Those within the area would have been pulled into it and it would have killed several of his allies. I feel it’s a very fitting Bankai in that it somewhat mimics the dangerous aspects of Yama’s who also couldn’t use his Bankai however he pleased.

    (Some lines are removed that better express what Shunsui Bankai feels like, it seemingly instills negative emotions conjuring a sense of darkness, dread, and despair. It’s chilling and makes even the most stubborn characters uncomfortable)

    – Shunsui’s Bankai is a Play (A Kabuki Play to be specific) with the opponent being a performer and it’s composed of 3 Acts. A play can’t go on without its performer, therein if the enemy dies during an act, the Bankai will of course end immediately (fans likely questioned this because the title of the chapter covering his Bankai was labeled “The Theatre Suicide”)

    There is a lot of context revolving around the Play that Shunsui’s Bankai evokes but it would make this comment too long so I opted to cut it.

    – Anime fans who watched the Zanpaktou Rebellion Filler actually got the opportunity to see Shunsui’s Zanpaktou Spirit a long time ago, but it’s good to see it in canon.

    – Shunsui's personality often switches swiftly between playful to serious. I believe his Shikai and Bankai represent this well. His Shikai forces people to “Play” children's games, while his Bankai forces you to take part in a Kabuki “Play”.

    (I feel Shunsui as a character somewhat embodies this, human life is a play, a play in which we are often forced to act, forced to face conflicts no matter what we wish. We’d love to have life be more relaxed and unserious like games, but we know that when the games are done we have to return to reality.)

    – Sidenote: Nanao being able to keep up with Shunsui’s Shunpo without getting tired is a nod to the Soul Society arc when the opposite occurred.

    – Sidenote 2: Just a reminder cause I’ve seen some confused comments in other reactions, but Shunsui can in fact (albeit not intentionally) enact several games at once during Shikai

    – Sidenote 3: Reikaku are the senses used to detect Reiatsu

    – Sidenote 4: Kabuki plays are about historical events and moral conflict in relationships of the heart.

  4. His bankai tells a story of a couple committing suicide first one of them attacks the other and feels regret(the incurrable sickness occurs) and after that they decide to commit suicide and both jump into a lake but one of them betrayed the other and tries to swim his way out and gets punished for that. Its a sick bankai

  5. With the hole in Shunsui’s chest, he saw his spiritual pressure get shot. kind if like in naruto where they have shadow clones, shunsui shaped his spiritual pressure to look like himself so X can see “him” get shot to distract him. And yea the game Shunsui played with Stark was the shadow game, so that’s what you keep remembering. He only played one game with Stark and he played two different ones this fight. He never used his bankai because it was banned to be used around people by Central 46. Against the espada Shunsui was going to use it on Stark before Ukitake stopped him

  10. It was stated in the Arrancar arc that his Zanpakuto could make children’s games into reality during his battle with Starrk. Doing stuff with shadows is just a part of the many games he can do

    He also didnt get hurt on purpose. He doesn’t need to be hurt to activate his bankai or anything. It was just a coincidence that he got badly injured so he capitalized knowing how his Bankai will give Lille the same wounds

    Also he states in this episode and it is also stated during his fight with Starrk as to why he doesn’t use it. It drags anyone nearby into the play and would harm them all as well. Thats why he wanted to get as far away from everyone and even apologized to Nanao in case she got caught up in it. It’s like Shinji’s Bankai where using it around allies would only cause you to harm your friends.

  11. 19:00 DON'T BE AFRAID! We are finally hitting the peak of the Christian/Judaistic Mythology horror.

    25:10 Like his Shikai – his Bankai has the same weakness. It affects everyone playing the game/theatre play. This was re-enactment of a story about two lovers being cross with each other and throwing themselves into water at the end.

    The first person that tries to betray the other – escape the water, gets punished. The main reason why he doesn't want anyone to be close to him is because the performance affects the whole area. If someone gets stuck in it – they will play by the same rules and likely will be breaking them, trying to escape. Ultimately closing their own fate.

  12. Kubo confirmed recently that Shunsui’s bankai can have as many acts as he wants and can be anything that he comes up with as long as what he says/comes up with makes sense for a theatre setting/story.

  14. 25:14 Because just like Shinji's Bankai he cannot target someone with it. Its an AOE. Any one who gets caught in it, will be forced to play the role in the act. AKA it will end up taking out his allies as well. That is why he was waiting for them to get as far as possible.
