Dubbed the Special War Powers, these 5 Shinigami were deemed a top priority by the Wandenreich due to their incalculable qualities that could potentially swing the outcome of the war in the Soul Society's favour - but who were they? How were they chosen? And how did they impact the overall war? Let's find out!

    Which of the Special War Powers was the MVP of the Thousand-Year Blood War? Who had the greatest impact? And if you could choose any character to be the 6th notable threat, who would you pick and why? Let me know in the comments!
  • @redred1952
    Urahara is the most dangerous imo. The man is the complete package. Uber smart, resourceful, and extremely powerful.
  • @richard_n
    By Ichibei's wisdom, I feel they are talking about his experience. He's as close to all-knowing as anyone in Soul Society. He's seen it all.
  • Also Ichibei's spot is fitting given he's the personification of Soul Society's history, with him having been present during the Spirit King's mutilation and then carrying on the ancestors will. I'm sure his knowledge of the universe is widespread, including being privy to information even Urahara and Aizen lack, as crazy as that sounds.
  • I think Ichibei knowing the true name of all zanpakuto adds to his wisdom being classified as a threat. It did wonders for Renji
  • Remember, Kubo's last chapter he released mentions how Yhwach and Aizen kept Hell in check. Just shows how strong of a power Aizen is.
  • @stingdragon17
    I think the reason Ichibei was the "Wisdom" Special War Threat is because of his history. He was there when they utilized the Soul King to divide and stabilize the realms. He had intimate knowledge of the process and how everything worked. If anyone could create a plan to slow/stop/reverse Yhwach plan. It would be him. I mean, he planned on using Ichigo as a replacement for the Soul King had things not worked out with killing Yhwach. So that just goes to show his threat.
  • @elihuhefner
    “While I would say being unquestionably the ‘weakest’ of 5, Kisuke’s ability to predict, prepare for, and counter every eventuality makes him perhaps THE MOST DANGEROUS on the list..” This sums up Urahara perfectly. He is danger. Danger’s his middle name.
  • Their list was on point. These five turned the battle. Three of them clashed with Yhwach himself
  • Special war power 6 Mayuri Kurotsuchi his ability to low key hard carry. From identifying the quincies, creating a hollow army, resurrecting the zombies including several captains, contributing to stopping bankai theft, saving Kenpachi's life, and defeating one of the quincy's most elite guards.
  • @iblockya4229
    There are a few possibilities for a 6th Special War Powers (but only a few of them really lived up to the potential): - Majuri Kurotsuchi: He has massive knowledge on Quincys and their powers and he was the person creating an anti-Quincy-space before the second invasion. Also Askin didn't want to fight him either and he managed to take down one of the most powerful Quincy in Perneida - Shinji Hirako (and by extension the other Vizard Captains): They are Shinigami-Hollow-Hybrids which should protect their Bankai from being stolen and their Hollow Powers should have given them some advantage against the Quincys as they are weak to Hollows - Orihime and Tsukishima: While unsure if the Wandenreich was aware of Tsukishima and his powers they definitely knew about Orihime and her power to rewind time which should have made her a prime target for elimination -Yachiru Unohana: Yhwach has seen her fight 1000 years ago, she hasn't lost her lust for battle she chose to supress it and she is (after Orihime) the best medic - Yamamoto: as stated in the video - Kyoraku (and to some degree Ukitake): Kyoraku and Ukitake were both stated to be extremely powerful with some flaws holding them back (Kyoraku was too laid back and Ukitake was always sick). The only change between 1st invasion and 2nd invasion Kyoraku was his position and his attitude after Yamamoto's death and he still managed to force Lille into his holy form which all of squad 0 excluding Ichibei couldn't do - Ryuuken Ishida and Isshin Kurosaki: Ryuuken is known as "the last Qunicy" and the only one of their kind thats still alive and not part of their vendetta against Soul Society. He is shown to have crucial information about the Vandenreich and he is the one to create and deliver the Stillsilver Arrow. Isshin showed how strong he is in the fight against Aizen where he in combination with Kisuke and Yoruichi managed to overpower the form of Aizen that wiped the floor with most of the Gotei 13 Captains and the Vizards, Aizen stated himself that if not for the Hyogokyu he would have lost then and there.
  • I heard that the Schutzstaffel could be the Quincy Versions of the Special War Powers Ichigo = Pernida - Both can evolve to reach their potential Kisuke = Askin - Both are intelligent and can counter each other's strategies Kenpachi = Gerard - both constantly get stronger Aizen= Lile - Both are immortal plus he can penetrate anything with his Gun Ichibei= Only Yhwach could beat him otherwise everyone else is dead Jugram might stand a chance but it's uncertain
  • @jackwitt7430
    Ichibei's downfall was caused by the same thing that caused Yamamoto's: Hubris. If Ichibei's experience had been used to its full potential, it would have been dangerous as he could have been a superior leader to Yamamoto thanks to his lack of ignorance of how the universe actually works rather than how the Gotei 13 thinks it works. Ichibei though thought that his hax would allow him to win unchallenged and I don't think he ever considered that Yhwach had his father's Almighty ability.
  • @SmoothBlk
    Off Topic, you should do a video Pretaining to "What will happen once Ichigos Human Body dies"
  • The reason Yamamoto isn't a threat isn't out of spite. It's because he's not an unknown. Yhwach knows how powerful he is, and because he's gotten soft, he isn't capable of the same ruthlessness that would make him unpredictable. Thus, he can be planned around. As we see happen. The old Yamamoto wouldn't have become reckless and blinded by grief by the death of his subordinates like Chojiro and the carnage Seireitei was experiencing during that first invasion. He would take it in stride and retain his ruthless edge. And who knows what kind of cold and even cruel strategies he would formulate at the cost of his subordinates to ensure victory. Power alone isn't enough to become a war POTENTIAL. Otherwise Unohana and all of the 0 Division, Shunsui and Ukitake too possibly, would be counted among them.
  • The 5 Special War Powers. 1. Kenpachi Zaraki for his combat skills. 2. Sosuke Aizen for his enormous spiritual powers. 3. Ichigo Kurosaki for his growth rate. 4. Kisuke Urahara for his genius intellect. 5. Ichibē Hyōsube for his immense wisdom. Can you imagine if these 5 actually teamed up?
  • Urahara and Ichigo are the most threatening. Urahara with his extreme intellegence, a frigtening strategist weather in or out of the battfield, and his own abilites are amazing and pretty powerful. (And he managed to convince Grimmjow of all arrancar's to help fight). I include ichigo because I believe that Zangetsu is the greatest and most terryfiying Zanpakuto, now that Ichigo has finally come to know the truth he's defiently one to be feared on the battefield with his tremdously awesome defensive and offensive dual Zanpakuto. But I think the list of the special war powers are sensiblly chosen and perfect threats for the Quincy's.
  • @chibmaniac2
    If Yhwach had known about Ukitake's relationship with the Soul King I wonder if he would have been considered a special threat
  • @drarsen33
    Kenpachi is probably even more dangerous than we have seen. Gotei 13 forbidden any further training of Kenpachi as they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to stop him if he goes rogue. This means that they considered Kenpachi to be powerful enough to be able to face combined might of entire Soul Society.
  • The Quincies having Gotei 13 dead to rights in terms of intelligence while the Shinigami had none in turn is pure but understandable hubris on the Shinigami's part . They thought they finished them the last time and the subsequent wipe out attempts. Ironic that Kisuke and Aizen shared this list yet unsurprising given their unique abilities and skills. Ichigo's willingness to break all norms to save others with his epic hybrid power including defying death itself sure makes his placement worthy.
