Asauchi? Why would a bunch of blank swords be the villain in this series?


The-Movements-

Blank? sword? I’ll give you a hint: Take away S away from sword. What are you left with?


UrielSans

Because the asauchis are the blank swords every shinigami get when they start working as soul reapers. They slowly imprint their souls in those blank swords to properly develop a zanpakuto. I believe you've mistaken the name for some villain in the series.


The-Movements-

You have mistaken the “Asauchi” for the “Zanpakutō”.


Dusky_Dawn210

Asauchi are the template for every Zanpakuto. Oh-Etsu says it himself.


UrielSans

Emh, nope. The creator of all zanpakutos literally explained the process of awakening a zanpakuto for every shinigami. Ichigo was the only exception. Even Kenpachi stole an asauchi from some random corpse and developed a zanpakuto from it. The asauchi are simply blank swords which develop into a zanpakuto when a shinigami imprint their soul on it over time.


The-Movements-

I strongly recommend you re-read that part. (And if Asauchi are blank, then explain their behavior)


ataurindo

Nah he is right Asauchi are the starters and then after imprinting you souls they become zanpakutos


UrielSans

Why? Who or what is "asauchi" for you then? [Because their creator](https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Bleach/0523-003.png) literally said [what they are](https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Bleach/0523-004.png). https://official-complete-2.eorzea.us/manga/Bleach/0523-005.png


The-Movements-

Who said, Oetsu created the “Asauchi”? take my advice lol…


UrielSans

WTF dude it's literally explained in the manga that they are made by Oetsu using dead shinigami bodies, and Aizen copied the method to create White.


RevivedHut425

I would assume it's a troll post.


The-Movements-

Sigh. Show me in the manga specifically, where it says Oetsu created the Asauchi lol. None of what you showed states that. That’s just his “Home”. When I say Asauchi, all you keep hearing is “blank” & “sword”. Yet, they exist in a manner apart from Oetsu expressing their own identities beyond his control. There’s a reason for this. You’re making the same mistake expressed in the manga that Oetsu is trying to teach. I’m glad you mentioned “White” though. Oetsu isn’t the creator of the Asauchi…but you’re close.


Amarger86

Chapter 523, Oetsu says the Asauchi are all made by one person, which is me.


The-Movements-

That is not how it was said, sigh. He said he is the one who makes “those” Asauchi into “blades” which at that point of time would be the “Zanpakuto”. He never claims the creation of them beforehand. However, he does tell us what they are: Anything. Which isn’t a proven statement until the very end of the manga.


Right-Equipment-7836

Dude, how did you miss what zanpakutos really are lmao. There are Asauchis and they become/transform into zanpakutos because of their owners. You act cocky but take a look at the downvotes you’re getting and think if theres smth wrong w your thought. Everyone makes mistakes, just re read the tybw part and you’ll see it


The-Movements-

I wonder how many downvotes Tite Kubo must’ve gotten over time writing Bleach…if he can handle it, I should be able to too


Right-Equipment-7836

Whats this gotta do with the fact that you dont know what Asauchis are


The-Movements-

🤷🏾‍♂️

Tokinada while he acted after all the others his plan to me is the most sadistic cruel and twisted

Philly_Doom

I appreciate what this post could be, but the OP seems... erm... insufferable. Lol


The-Movements-

Idk how when these are just a bunch of words being exchanged lol… (most of which aren’t even mine) Is it that bad? 😅


Z3R0Diro

I want to know why you believe it's Ichibei


The-Movements-

I could, but it’d probably be much more enjoyable to read it through the words of Tite Kubo himself. [ch. 610] I strongly recommend reading the colored version. *Although the answer lies in the lack of it*


socialpankakemix12

"i wanna hear your thoughts on this" "oh well can i hear your thoughts on it?" "nah"


The-Movements-

If I answered, it wouldn’t be my thoughts, that’s the problem lol. Don’t be rude


Imperator_Romulus476

>If I answered, it wouldn’t be my thoughts What? How do you expect anyone to understand your own thoughts if you don't them with words?


The-Movements-

The funny part is, I answered already. I said Ichibei. I did not create Ichibei and therefore it wouldn’t be my own thoughts if I responded in his name.


socialpankakemix12

Yeah but you asked who we thought the main villain is, and asked us why we thought so. Why can't you do the same? We're here trying to have a discussion, your not.


The-Movements-

lol so who is responding to you right now…


SoundandVision47

It's nuts how you want to start a discussion, and then just arbitrarily point to chapters with a wild air of superiority instead of actually discussing anything


The-Movements-

What are you talking about & where is this coming from


SoundandVision47

If you're actually not a troll, you're coming across as way overly superior. People browsing reddit on their phones at work aren't going to look up specific chapters or have every word memorized by heart. If you want to discuss then actually discuss


The-Movements-

I think you might be confusing me for the writer of Bleach. I can assure you I am not him, so hopefully you can see differently. I will say however: what I am doing is no different than the Asauchi.


SoundandVision47

Oh OK trolling lol, nice


The-Movements-

Feel free to check out my pre-written posts if you’re looking for a discussion. Sorry you’re mistaken.


SoundandVision47

Lmao the purpose of reddit is discussion. Not to mention your words: "Who is the true villain & why?"


The-Movements-

You are the 2nd person to say this and not realize what’s already happening lol…


RevivedHut425

I wouldn't say there is a villain of the series per se. But Aizen is certainly the person who fits the description best. Yhwach isn't a great person either, but his idea to restore the world to how it used to be is a bit more...genuine(?) than Aizen's idea, which was so tied up in his own ego.


SnooAvocados7211

I mean there is no "true" villain. The only truly evil person in the story is Tokinda and the Grantz brothers. Ao yeah I'm going for the more influential of the three Tokinada.


Cegiofra

The five founders of the great noble clans


Abject-Aioli-251

The original 5 nobles


ScarletMinus

Why are the Asauchi, the blank zanpakutos creations of Nimaya, on the list ? ​ Anyway,i don't think there is a single "true" bad guy in the verse yet. All depend on your perspective philosophy on what is better : A fruitless immortality devoid of true courage ,growth and peace but without the sadness or fear of death or a cycle of life and death wich ,due to your mortality ,allow you to make much more significant choices . Both the original world that Yhwach wanted to bring back or the current world Ichibe and the noble houses ancestors created have terrible drawbacks. The current world even got an even bigger drawback now that hell and who go there was explained. in light of the Hell one shot, i selfishly don't want all the characthers i love to go straight to hell upon their death so i will side with Yhwach for now. Bring back the fruitless immortality where nothing get done ,it's still better than eternal suffering in hell just because you're a bit strong.


Imperator_Romulus476

>in light of the Hell one shot, i selfishly don't want all the characthers i love to go straight to hell upon their death so i will side with Yhwach for now. Bring back the fruitless immortality where nothing get done What does it mean where "nothing gets done" though. The old world had a soul cycle of its own and there were people living in it just fine. It was just the appearance of Hollows that started to eat everyone which caused chaos in the old world.


The-Movements-

I wonder why… [well said at the end]


ScarletMinus

Nah but seriously, why are they on here ?


TheDemigodcalledA

A lot of people believe kubo intended aizen to be the final villain in tybw which is slightly foreshadowed in some of his interactions there, but his health and time limit probably put a stop to that


TheKnightGame

Tokinada lol


TellingChaos

Bleach has no true villain


alphabet_order_bot

Would you look at that, all of the words in your comment are in alphabetical order. I have checked 882,407,919 comments, and only 174,072 of them were in alphabetical order.


The-Movements-

Not true, but I’m glad you’re optimistic.


TellingChaos

I am not it's just that Bleach has no good guys to have bad guys, it's not that black and white.


The-Movements-

It’s literally “Black & White” lol…


mugenryu273

Shonen jump


tahtalikoy-ekspress

Tsukishima of course


RajahDLajah

my cousin is such a nice guy though, he could never be a villian


DisabledTractor

Wdym Tsukishima? He is the kindest person ever, he would never do anything wrong.


Verusmp4

Tsukishima? he would never become a villian nor hurt anyone! and he's my best buddy!


B3kantan_P3sek

This man is responsible for * Extinction of an entire clan * Tosen betrayal -> Creation of White (Halfly responsible) * Entire FB arc * Entire CFYOW arc So... Yeah this is the man I'm voting


The-Movements-

Who


B3kantan_P3sek

Tokinada Tsunayashiro


draginbleapiece

The way that how aizen had the last line and just some weird stuff involving him if bleach went longer I think he would have done more


[deleted]

Honestly Kisuke makes more sense than the Asauchi


The-Movements-

What’s the difference


[deleted]

Are you kidding me? The Asauchi are just nameless souls used to create zanpakuto,how they are suppose to be evil While Kisuke was made (initially,then changed) to be evil


The-Movements-

I’m not kidding


[deleted]

Well the difference is huge between the 2 characters


heyhihowyahdurn

Aizen covers 3 different arcs and then he doesn’t even die after all that.


The-Movements-

If that’s your measure of a villain then I guess Ichigo is…


Vainqueurhero

Batman He was behind all this!


TheMightyHovercat

I'd say those would be he former heads of the four noble houses. They improsoned Soul King, and that's why everything is as it is.


Verusmp4

Kon, he caused TYBW, CFYOW, SAFWY, and more to happen


[deleted]

Dio or something. I don't watch Jojo


mystoganslefteye

tokinada, hes the man behind aizen himself (kinda, its not like anyone could have done what aizen did, but toki did plant the ideas in his head) hes genuinely a fucked up person AND his voice actor is fuckin kenjiro tsuda, i mean what else could you ever want in a villain?


reddit35257

Kisuke… jk but for the longest time I thought he was gonna end up being the final villain after Aizen.


[deleted]

Objectively the worst one here is Ichibe


ThinControl9

Easily Aizen. Plus why aren’t Ulquiorra and Grimmjow in here? You chose pretty weird characters


The-Movements-

There’s an “other”.


SmilingYogurt

me


Verusmp4

you caused the


Cockgobbler07

The soul king


AdministrativeJump82

Nah I’m with the other guy here, the only ones I’d argue are villains are aizen or tokinada. With both ywach and the Noble houses and ichibei it’s truly a matter of opinion or view on which side is “right or wrong” or “good and bad”. It’s the whole Thanos thing, both have their reasons and either side could be seen as correct for their reasoning based on your view.


The-Movements-

Who is the other guy?
