We know Ichigo reacted, dodged, & powered up into his Vizard Mask without ever getting hit by Buto Renjin, to do this with a Mach 1,000 projectile coming at you, with the only distance being a few inches, is at least a High Quad Mach feat, like, Mach 9,000 worthy. We can estimate it based on the manga scans & anime adaption, they appear to be only inches away from Ichigo’s face:īleach Volume 46 Chapter 404 & Bleach Episode 300 respectively So m or the real speed of the reference object, being Buto Renjin, would be Mach 1,000, so we need to figure out the apparent speed of Buto Renjin. I’ll make this easier and give variables to this equation, so (m/x)*b=y. To calculate speed, there are a few ways, one of which is what VS Battle Wiki uses, being (real speed of reference object / apparent speed of reference object) * apparent speed of object of interest = real speed of object of interest. This is not true, and I’ll show you the insanity of Ichigo’s Buto Renjin feat which is pretty consistent with prior feats. I like to think of this as the solidifying proof that Ichigo at this time was a casual quad mach but of course people will say this was a top tier speed, that Ichigo had trouble with. This would make the attack go at Mach 1,000. Now onto, on KnY’s amped move that twices Buto’s speed, Buto Renjin. “But Faraday, he didn’t notice the retraction at the bottom of the page”Įyes were focused on the thrust, it would make sense that he wasn’t paying attention to the retraction at that time, besides, Gin never before in that fight retracted that quickly after the extension, so Ichigo if anything was confused by the sudden change of tactics. Here Ichigo is CLEARLY not only reacted but rully dodged KnY, this fully proves that KnY was never even close to giving Ichigo trouble like so many people thought, instead it shows that Ichigo when actually paying attention to the speed is casually faster to KnY’s Buto (which is Mach 500) this is actually consistent with Ichigo’s typical standing (being MHS to Quad Mach casually) as I have always claimed & willing to prove here. Here Ichigo can clearly react to KnY now, so now we have clear proof that KnY was never faster than Ichigo, don’t believe me? Fifth instance: Bleach Volume 46 Chapter 404 Ichigo was never focused on the speed itself. What this proves is that specifically the second or third instances many people like to use to downplay Ichigo’s speed is simply negated. This pretty much self destructs any argument saying that Ichigo had trouble with the speed, but nonetheless I am still here sadly. In fact he figured out that Gin was purposely misleading him about the speed by making him focus on the blade itself (the length) vs. And Ichigo admitted that during that whole encounter he was paying attention to the speed, so it wasn’t even as if he was intending to dodge it or not as a way to determine that (Bleach Volume 46 Chapter 400)

Now let’s just go through this scene, does anybody see the fact that Ichigo not only is fast enough to get out of the way of KnY, but also is fast enough to close the gap between him and Gin in quick time just before Gin can extract the blade. This is the most popular scene where folks try to downplay Ichigo’s speed. Because of this, it is inherently flawed to use this as some sort of argument like “Bleach Characters are Mach 500” since in no way is this referring to the actual physicalities of Shinigami, Hollows, etc. Speed will take up some time so I’ll boil this down to these four reasons on why this statement doesn’t mean that much:įor the first reason, the whole entire statement of Kamishini no Yari speed is just that, it’s the speed of the zanpaukto. People think this is a bar for Bleach characters when that is an obvious lie, ignoring the canon and such. This scene has terrorized Bleach debating for years now and has been heavily misrepresented by battle forums. You know it, I know it, he/she/it knows it. To start off, might as well go with the speed department. In this post I’ll be showing how Gin Ichimaru is one of the most overrated Bleach characters when it comes to battle forums and hopefully this will stop misconceptions on where Bleach lies on a power & speed level. This feat has been abused for over a decade now as a way to downplay/lowball Bleach’s speed as if Gin Ichimaru was a relevant character enough to be considered a major character in stats. If you have spent any time on a Bleach comicvine battle thread you’d have realize one thing, when it comes to speed (particularly Pre-Timeskip Bleach) people always turn their eyes to Gin Ichimaru.
