Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War brought Head Captain Genryusai Shigekuni Yamamoto to the fight with the newest episode of the series, and with it has demonstrated the kind of true power the fighter has at his disposal! One of the major draws of the final arc of Tite Kubo’s original manga was getting to see all of the Soul Reapers in action that we haven’t gotten to see in full. This not only came with all sorts of new power ups, transformations, and more, but new reveals that filled in the gaps left from the rest of the series such as missing Bankai.

The previous episode of the series put more attention on Yamamoto as he not only reflected on the past, but was enraged over the death of his Lieutenant Captain. As the episode came to an end, Yamamoto decided to jump into the fight in full and declared he would be going straight for the enemy’s leader, Yhwach. As the newest episode picks up right back with their fight, the anime has displayed the full slate of Yamamoto’s fiery Bankai powers.
How Does Yamamoto’s Bankai Work?
As Yamamoto begins his fight with Yhwach, he immediately activates his Bankai, Zanka no Tachi. It’s revealed that his Bankai is a lot more complicated than any of the others we have seen thus far as it doesn’t have one ability, but four different powers when he uses it. With each transformation or power reflecting a direction on a compass, Yamamoto’s full power on display shows off why the Head Captain rarely uses his Bankai. It’s so powerful that it impacts the Soul Society itself.

His most powerful version of the Bankai then can be seen completely obliterating everything in a massive radius with a pillar of heat. So not only are his usual flames burning hotter than ever before, but his Bankai took everything to the next level with a huge new display of the kind of power the Head Captain had been holding back for all this time. Now it’s just a matter of seeing if Yamamoto can make it out of the fight against Yhwach.
