The Monster That DEFEATED Yamamoto - IKOMIKIDOMOE, The Hollow Zanpakuto, EXPLAINED | Bleach CFYOW

What do you think of Ikomikidomoe? How did Yamamoto fight it in a time before the Zanpakuto? Would you like to see this animated? Let me know your thoughts!

Ikomikidomoe looks like a Ben10 alien.

Man………remember back when hollows in general were actually a genuine threat?

Shoutout to Ikomikidomoe for being so powerful he had to be sealed in a Zanpakuto by Nimaiya and having his name rewritten by Ichibe to weaken him.

I think the Shinigami's power worked back then in a similar way to how we saw powers manifesting in a young Hitsugaya.

One thing that might be worth noting for this discussion: Ichigo for the longest time was able to use his Shinigami powers and purify hollows without a properly made zanpakuto of his own. This implies that the powers of the Shinigami do exist within the soul before the use of the zanpakuto, that blade just confers extra power, which may explain what Ichibei and Oetsu had before their advent

Considering how Yama took on Wonderwiess with his bare hands I figure he was strong in hand to hand combat even back then

This hollow was such a great addition to Bleach lore. Having him being ancient and knowing Barragan was so cool. I wish the Espada were as strong and as big a threat as this dude. I’d love for Kubo to include new lore about hueco mundo, like revealing an undiscovered region or area where extremely powerful vasto lorde live. We need more powerful hollows.

It would've been quite the battle. Undoubtedly Yamamoto got several of his distinctive scars from it. Still, it's ironic that a monster of that caliber actually respected and lamented Barragan upon learning he was dead. More so since Barragan opted to stay out of the beast's way and actually feared it. Such a monster threatening the human world and others was too close.

What's crazy about Ikomikidomoe is he is not even a vasta lorde, but the mid class of a menos, and Baraggan acknowleges him to be powerful. If he did turn into a vasta lorde, just how high would his powers be?.

I love Can't Fear Your Own World so much. I'd love to find out about more unique monsters like him.

I think it's likely there was a way to use abilities and even realize a Zanpakuto spirit prior to imprinting on an Asauchi? Hitsugaya was channeling Hyorinmaru's powers unconsciously long before he got his sword, so it only makes sense that primordial shinigami probably had some (likely wildly) less efficient or controlled way of manifesting their zanpakuto spirit.

Only reason I can think of why Squad 0 didn’t kill the hollow is because it would break the cycle. A hollow that powerful would be holding millions of souls and killing it would be akin to a tsunami upon the cycle. So that’s why probably why they sealed it into a zanpaktou. A form where it can’t do anything on its own.

That monster otherworldly and terrifying. I like it.

I really wish barragan and Yamamoto faught eachother rather than Soifon considering ikkimidomoe and barragan were rivals and both of them considering how old the both were Barragan and Yama should have known each other

My fan theory would be that, looking at the fight between Ichibē and Yhwach, there are some abilities or strength that can overpower, or be a counter to, Ichibē's erasing and naming abilities. Perhaps the hollow could manifest any name from the souls it's devoured to replaced it's erased name, or maybe it uses those soul's names as fodder to protect it's own from being erased, so the only way to stop it would be to give it a new name entirely, only being able to limit it's power enough for Ōetsu to create a sword to contain the remainder of it's power and being, and perhaps he only had the idea to do so from recently creating the prototype Zanpakutō for Ichibē, that was able to absorb and contain a piece of his soul and power for him to wield. And because the sword used to seal the hollow away was based off the prototype Zanpakutō, that's why it is able to be used similarly to one to draw out the power that is sealed within the sword, but no sword can use it's power of it's own volition. Only perhaps if the non-canon Muramasa ever came in contact with the sword haha

I’m glad you’re doing more vids on novel content there is so much stuff in there that’s interesting to think about. Hopefully more of it will be incorporated in future releases of the anime.

Ngl wish we would get safwy and cfyow animation in future

Spoilers: In CFYOW Vol.3 it is never stated that Yamamoto was defeated in that encounter and it also says Ikomikidomoe attempted to scale the skies to the soul palace so it wasnt on the ground. Quite a bit of this is in that third volume

Do you think the primordial world was like our world with Pangea? Human, hollows, soul reapers, Quincies, witches, dragons ect living on one continent together.
