00:00Welcome to WatchMojo and today we're counting down our picks for the times where the cast
00:14from this hit shounen went next level on their foes.
00:3010. The Visored Pull Up Fake Karakura Town served as the final stage of the confrontation
00:37between Aizen's forces and pretty much everyone else.
00:45As the Shinigami were being pushed back by the likes of the Espada, they find themselves
00:50receiving unexpected aid from a few Gotei 13 alumni.
01:01Experimented on by Aizen and exiled by Soul Society, Shinji and his fellow holified warriors
01:07had every excuse to not get involved but still chose to throw down in order to help out Ichigo.
01:14The chance to also get revenge against Aizen probably didn't hurt either.
01:44The culmination of the exquisite Soul Society arc all came down to the rematch between
01:50Ichigo and Byakuya, and while the captain had easily bested the strawberry in previous duels,
01:57this time was a little bit different, namely Ichigo finally having completed his training
02:03and gaining access to his own Bankai.
02:17Despite its smaller stature, Tensa Zangetsu is anything but puny, allowing Ichigo to slice
02:23through the captain's billions of bladed petals before getting in some hits of his own.
02:32New payoffs in Bleach felt more well-earned than this moment here.
02:378.
02:38Renji's New Bankai Poor Renji had become something of a punching
02:42bag throughout the series.
02:52Outshined by practically every other character, despite unlocking Bankai, leaks ahead of them.
02:58Mercifully, he finally got his time to shine after getting some training in with Squad Zero.
03:15Returning to Soul Society to take the fight to the Quincy, his new version of Zabimaru proved
03:20to be so devastatingly powerful, it made short work of Masked Amasculine, aka the insidious
03:27luchador who would wipe several captain-class Shinigami with ease.
03:32With some respect on Renji's name, there's flexing, and then there's getting Hell to offer its
03:46power to you.
03:52Likely the greatest stunts he's pulled across Bleach's movie catalogue, Ichigo trades
03:57Hollow for Hellfire as he enters the underworld to take down the vicious Kokuto before he can
04:03escape.
04:15Seems that the realm of the damned is A-OK with that notion, since it grants Ichigo an epic
04:21new look and a serious power boost to ensure that their captive is put back in his prison.
04:28The form may be fleeting, but it's certainly memorable.
04:47Number 6 Yoruichi runs rampant The goddess of Flash is many things.
04:53A former Gotei 13 captain, one of Bleach's predominant waifus, the source of Ichigo's
04:59ecchi awakening, but above all else, she is fast, fast, fast.
05:05Yoruichi demonstrates to her student with painful precision.
05:20Despite Soifan having numerous members of her squad on standby, who are essentially high-speed
05:25ninja, they don't get a chance to do anything, since Yoruichi wipes them all out before they
05:31can move a muscle.
05:38There is no stopping this kitty cat.
05:42Number 5 It Was Me, Aizen
05:56Even if his ability to pre-plan his villainous antics started to border on the ridiculous
06:01towards the series' end, the initial reveal of Aizen as the main villain was a sublime spectacle
06:07to behold.
06:14In the space of a single afternoon, he revealed that he had faked his own death, stabbed his
06:19lieutenant, proceeded to one-shot every Shinigami who got in his way, declared himself god, and
06:25most dastardly of all, unleashed the power of the mullet.
06:29We know he's a jerk and all, but this display of dominance is almost admirable.
06:34Number 4 Kenpachi Cuts A Meteor
06:45There is no greater proof that Kenpachi Zaraki is a force unto himself than his battle against
06:51Grimmie.
07:04Even against a Quincy whose power lets him manifest anything he imagines, Kenpachi just
07:09cuts through it all regardless.
07:12Bullets, missiles, the vacuum of space, everything falls before his sword.
07:18Though by far his most impressive feat is when he took on a meteor head-first and sliced through
07:23it like butter.
07:33Kenpachi is just him.
07:43Number 3 Hollow Ichigo comes out to play While Ichigo's Bankai put up a fine fight
07:49against Byakuya for the majority of their battle, he did find himself struggling at the final
07:55hurdle.
07:56Overwhelmed with Byakuya's Bankai and mastery of Kido, Ichigo is once again brought to his
08:01limits until his hollow passenger decides to take over.
08:12Stronger, faster and way more psychotic, Ichigo shows no mercy as he eviscerates Rukia's brother
08:20in an instant.
08:30Had it not been for Ichigo pulling back control at the last second, the Gotei 13 would be short
08:36another captain.
08:47Number 2 The True Kenpachi There can only be one.
08:53In order to turn the tide with the invading Quincy, the two strongest captains battle it
08:58with the sole purpose of unlocking Kenpachi's true potential along the way.
09:08The fight itself is a bloody glorious one, with the usually sweet-natured Unohana revealed
09:16to be the original Kenpachi, showcasing her immense skill for combat as she kills and subsequently
09:23revives his successor until he finally bests her.
09:27It's a dance of destruction, with every frame overflowing with hype.
09:35It's a fight!
09:54Number 1 The End of Ukiura
10:04Talk about a comeback!
10:06In the face of Ukiura's second transformation, Ichigo is beaten, bested, and left with a crater-sized
10:13hole in his chest.
10:15You'd think that would spell the end for the strawberry, and you'd be right, if not for
10:20the cries of a lovely lady bringing him back from the brink.
10:24Fully giving in to his hollow side, Ichigo proceeds to decimate Ukiura like he's nothing.
10:29It's a brutal end to the beloved villain, as we get to see how powerful Ichigo's darker
10:51half truly is when he's let off the leash.
