BLEACH - Ichigo vs Renji: Episode 16e

(Renji)*growls* You punk!
(Byakuya Kuchiki) You let your guard down, Renji.
(Byakuya Kuchiki) Ichigo Kurosaki. I’ve heard of you. There was a report from the Secret Remote Squad tracking Rukia. He dealt a Menos Grande quite a serious blow, and forced it back to Hueco Mundo.
(Renji)…*laughs* You’ve gotta be kidding me! Man, the Secret Remote Squad must really be slipping these days! THIS kid wounded a Menos Grande!? Who in their right mind would believe that load of crap?! I mean look at him, with that oversized zanpakuto! He obviously can’t even control his own Spiritual Energy! So tell me, what’s the name of that monstrosity?
(Ichigo) Huh? It’s name?
(Renji) You didn’t even ASK, did you?
(Ichigo) Who? Are you telling me you guys name your swords?!
(Renji)I knew it. You don’t even know your zanpakuto’s real name, and you really think you can fight me as an equal?! Come back in 2000 years!
*THUNDER BOOMS*
(Renji)Roar, ZABIMARU! Open your eyes, see what lies before you, and fall upon your prey!
*SWORD TRANSFORMS*
*ATTACKS*
(Ichigo)!!!ARGH!
(Renji) It’s all over, you runt! You’ve lost to Renji Abarai, and will die where you stand!

There is SO MUCH important crap that happens in this one effing episode, it’s insane. You the viewer aren’t aware yet of the formalities behind zanpakuto until a few episodes later, but here Renji inadvertently exposition dumps a lot of key things about how Shinigami combat works, and why Ichigo’s sword is so dang big. (There’s a TON of d**k measuring between Ichigo & Renji, it’s actually hilarious.)

When Renji says Ichigo can’t even control his own Spiritual Energy, he’s talking about the sword–all base state zanpakuto appear as simple katana, like Rukia’s, Renji’s, Byakuya’s, etc. Only a Shinigami who has mastered their Spiritual Energy, and learned the name of their zanpakuto, can then command it to then transform into larger, more powerful states.

Ichigo’s sword is abnormally big in base state, because he hasn’t learned any of the basics about fighting as a Soul Reaper. Up until now, Rukia (and Uryu, kinda) have just been teaching him how to deal with pesky Hollows. But to deal with other Soul Reapers, Ichigo’s got a LOT more to learn.

But ironically, Renji also tells on himself a bit. In his braggadocio, he ends up proving his own point later on, with the size of his own sword/release being “the size of a skyscraper”–this is a very important quote from a super important Shinigami a few arcs later, but I can’t spoil anything yet cuz I actually forgot to introduce the character when I started this gameplay–oops?

BLEACH - Ichigo vs Renji: Episode 16d

(Renji) Passing your Soul Reaper powers to a human is a grave sin, Rukia! Be glad the higher ups were compassionate, and let US handle this, and not the Execution Squad. Tell us where the human is.
(Rukia)NO!
(Renji) Don’t even try to protect him! The next move I make with this blade will be fatal!
(Ichigo) Stop right there!
(Renji) Just who are you?!
(Ichigo) The name’s Ichigo. I’m the one that’s gonna beat your a**! How’s it going?
(Renji)Ohhhh! You’re the snot-nosed little brat who took Rukia’s powers, aren’t ya, Carrot-Top? Man, you are as dumb as they come! Rukia came out here on her own, so you wouldn’t get involved. But YOU had to come play the hero!
*ATTACKS!*
(Renji) Come on, what’s wrong? Is that overgrown sword just for show!? You should’ve stayed put at home. You’re not a Reaper, you’re a FAKE! There’s no way you could hurt a REAL Shinigami; you couldn’t even lay a SCRATCH on one of u–!
*SLASH!*
(Ichigo) Sorry for interrupting. I know you were saying something about a scratch? I apologize. Why don’t you continue?

MY THOUGHTS

Renji’s got alotta nerve calling Ichigo Carrot-Top, when he’s the official “Red Pineapple” of Bleach! XD

There’s quite a few random AF fruit references in Bleach–Ichigo’s name means “Strawberry” in Japanese, for example. But Tite Kubo was inspired by Dragonball, and all of the Saiyans’ names come from vegetables, too. So it tracks, I guess. XD

BLEACH - The Encounter: Episode 16c

(Kon) Ichigo, Rukia’s in trouble! Look at this right here!
(Ichigo) What is this?
(Kon) It’s obviously a farewell note!
(Ichigo) Whaddaya mean–she left us, without even telling me she was going!?
(Kon) Don’t you get it!? Something must’ve happened, to make her so worried about us! Something between her and the Soul Society!
(Ichigo) Let’s go, Kon. Give me a Soul Candy.
(Urahara) Hi there!
(Ichigo)Mr. Hat-and-Clogs!
(Urahara) Looks like you’re in a bit of a bind this evening! Anything I can do to help speed things along here…?

BLEACH - The Encounter: Episode 16b

(Rukia)If I’m going to leave here…all these memories will only be a burden. Passion, friendship, affection…it’s a nuisance! Unnecessary for a Soul Reaper. Unbecoming of me. I’ve remained in this world for far too long. It’s time to move on.
(??)YES!
(Rukia)!!!
(??)Youfinally get it, dontcha? But you know, I really gotta hand it to ya–I’m very impressed! By skulking around in this world, you’ve actually managed to prolong what little life you have left, Rukia!
*LUNGES*
(Rukia)Renji! What in the world are you doing here?!
(Renji) So you mean to tell me you had hunters from the Soul Society lurking right behind you, but you were so lost in thought that you didn’t even notice?
(Renji) I’ll grant that you’ve spent the last few months stuck as a human, but still, don’t you think that you’ve grown a little too lax?
(Renji) You’re a runt from the Rukongan District, just like me. The Kuchikis took you in, and spent a lotta time and money to make you the perfect Soul Reaper.
(Renji) You’re the great Rukia Kuchiki, aren’t you!? Moping like some worthless human! What’s the matter with you!?
(Renji)Right, Captain Kuchiki?
(Rukia)Brother!?
(Byakuya Kuchiki)…Rukia.
(Rukia)!!!!

MY THOUGHTS

This is my first time rewatching the dub in over a decade. I forgot how much more villainous they made Renji sound–in the sub he sounds more like a ruffian. But whatever, he’s still my angry insecure baby. ^_^

Byakuya can rot for all I care. That man is EFFED UP, don’t get me started.
