Bleachhas some of the most fascinating displays of power in all of anime, and Bankai is one of them. From Ichibe to Genryusai Yamamoto, the series outlined some lethal abilities. But what tops the charts is Ichigo Kurosaki’s Tensa Zangetsu.
His ability to hone Quincy and Shinigami’s powers makes him unparalleled in most aspects. Additionally, his Bankai is strong enough to give the Quincy King the jitters of a lifetime.
But that is not all, considering his previous feats and battles. Throughout the series, Kubo establishes the character through his defiant persona. It is this very trait that is tied to the Quincy King’s defeat.
A fan theory suggests that the hero’s power holds strength to defeat even Gods which is what makes it more fearful and intimidating.
Why Yhwach fears Ichigo’s powers
Yhwachis outlined as one of the most menacing and notorious villains in the Quincy Blood War arc. The Quincy King catalyzed some of the major events causing upheaval in the Seireitei. He was responsible for the invasion of Soul Society and the Soul King’s assassination.
He ensued chaos through his ambitious pursuits. That is not all, considering his treatment of fellow Quincies. Additionally, he played a major role in Masaski Kurosaki’s murder because of her Echt Quincy lineage.
Despite his previous feats, it seems that the Quincy King isn’t too fearless after all. This holds especially true withIchigo Kurosaki’sformidable Bankai in the series. The Quincy King was so intimidated by the power that he didn’t counter it.
Although it took the collective efforts of Aizen and Uryu to defeat the Quincy King, that doesn’t negate his Bankai which would have otherwise incapacitated the foe according to this theory.
Forget Ikkaku, Tite Kubo Got Away With Giving 1 Character the Least Practical Bankai in Bleach History
A theory by the YouTuberBleachBreakdownposits that the hero has god-like strength.
Undoubtedly, Ichigo has god-like powers in the series. His Quincy, Shinigami, Fullbringer, and Hollow abilities give him the upper hand in this case. While it took the collective efforts of Shinigami to take down Sternritters and Quincy King, one thing is certain.
The hero is connected to the Soul King as most fans connected his four eyes to the almighty being. This also ties well with his Tensa Zangetsu which holds several mysteries in the series.
Tensa Zangetsu holds mysteries in theBleachseries
Tensa Zangetsu is one of the most powerful and intimidating Bankai in theBleachseries. It outlines the duality of the hero’s nature and abilities through its spirits as well. Furthermore, it encompasses the multifaceted nature of his abilities.
Hollow, Shinigami, and Quincy’s powers enmeshed together in a Bankai is what makes it a lethal combination. And while it holds the ability to incapacitate formidable foes like Aizen and the Quincy King, it remains ambiguous in most aspects.
This ties well with the hero’s development throughout the series. While Tensa Zangetsu holds the power to annihilate most enemies, its true extent is not known. Its possibilities remain uncharted for the most part.
With the hero’s god-like powers, one thing is certain. The theory has plausibility in terms of the Bankai’sability to shatter fate. Rather than constructing him as God, Kubo gives him the almighty qualities through his multiracial abilities.

This is especially true with the hero’s mastery of Blud, Bankai, and Vasto Lorde. Undoubtedly, even the Quincy King wouldn’t dare to spar the hero with that level of unparalleled power.
Bleach: Thousand Year Blood Waris available for streaming on Hulu. The manga is available for reading on Viz Media.
