ORIGINAL GOTEI 13: STRONGEST SHINIGAMI TRAPPED IN HELL?! | BLEACH Breakdown

Do you think most of the Original Gotei 13 Captains are trapped in Hell now?

When Yhwach considers you a bunch of ruthless killers, you KNOW you are dealing with a bunch of DEMONS. Which makes it very fitting that they are most likely going to be the villains of the Hell arc!

She was the original Kenpachi and somehow managed to outlive 10 of her 11 successors. That is sad

Safe to say that the original Gotei 13 were products of their time, chaos and war. Them gradually disappearing and being replaced by a more lawfully controlled form in a more quiet era. It's telling how Yamamoto describes himself as a monster that should never return, he clearly saw just how unabashedly uncontrollable and viscous they once were.

Kubo is an absolute madlaad for making such amazing character designs for characters that appear in one episode, anyone knowing even a little about character design, which is a little more than I do would know exactly how much work goes into it that really inspiring from an artist, I hopethey show up in the hell arc

If we get another Bleach movie, it needs to be solely about the Original Gotei 13. Their inception and the battle with Yhwach.

I really do hope we see them be the villains of the Hell arc, because it would be such an interesting parallel to see the current peacekeeping Gotei 13 go up against the bloodthirsty psychopaths that were the OG Gotei 13

I think one of the main themes of Bleach is how easily Soul Society is infiltrated in every arc

Cant wait for Kenpachi to hear the only person he loved is "alive" somewhere. no one holding him back from getting to her.

The OG Gotei 13 looks so full of personality and powerful. Really curious on what there full power is and what there abilities can do.

I truly hope we get to see more of them in the hell arc or another flashback because they are very interesting looking characters

The original Gotei is one of my favorite concepts in Bleach. Yama collected a bunch of murderers and somehow convinced them to work together. I wonder if he or Unohana killed any of them themselves.

The reason why Yachiru didn't age was because she spent alot the time after the thousand year blood war not fighting, it was confirmed confirmed that the fight between her and kenpachi happened before s thousand year blood war, so after s thousand years she hasn't battled and used her spiritual pressure. Characters that use their spiritual pressure alot physically age more. Kenpachi for example looks older than Yachiru Uhohana.

Please don’t forget that Kisuke created the research and development mission for squad 12. The mad scientist trope doesn’t exist for squad 12 prior to Kisuke.

I can only imagine how strong the first gotei 13 will be In the hell arc along with other hell villains like the Espada or even the Quincy

What people have to remember is that just because they were described to be bloodthirsty criminals doesn't mean literally all 13 of them were. I'm sure even back then there was the odd one out.

Its pretty hypocritical for Yhwach to be referring to anyone else as a Tyrant.

I theorise Unohana died during the battle with Zaraki because she’s gonna play a big role in the hell ark (also 8000 sword styles but we don’t even see 1000 of them)

Yes, Squad Zero predates the thirteen court guard squads. Ichibe is millions of years old and was the first to obtain Bankai. Oetsu is likely just as or almost as old as him as he is the one who made the Zanpakuto. Similarly, Senjumaru made the shihakusho, something they all wear (tho I imagine that her promotion took place within the last 2k years since it seemed as tho she knew Yama personally from her interaction with Yhwach). Whaddya bet Yamamoto woulda been squad zero if he hadn’t been the head captain? Squad Zero members’ sole requirement seems to be history rather than power. They were the first person to obtain Bankai, the people who made the Zanpakuto, shihakusho, healing Kido (kaido), and artificial soul (not mod soul). Strength just happens to be an addition. By all technicalities, Yamamoto also made history. He created the thirteen court guard squads and the Shino academy, both of which are also the history of the soul society. If he hadn’t placed his duty as the leader of the organization, I bet he’d have been offered to be a member of Squad Zero. Which begs the question of what Kuruyashiki made (can’t remember honestly). Similarly, I think that Tenjiro became a member of Squad Zero after the formation of the thirteen court guard squads. He taught Unohana healing before his promotion, and we can assume that he was promoted shortly after he created it. Let’s assume he took over as captain for Chikiri. With a promotion to squad zero, it leaves an opening. Shortly after, Unohana clashes with Kenpachi and decides to create the healing corps. Thus, she takes over Tenjiro and Chikiri’s old squad while leaving squad 11 either vacant or in the hands of a lieutenant or someone else she deems competent (aka the 2nd Kenpachi). This creates an appropriate timeline for both of them. That aside, yes, there’s no doubt in my mind that the entire first generation is in hell

Nice description. Thanks for giving a synopsis on the OG Gotei 13.
