How old is yamamoto

Noting he would use his subordinates to set such a trap, Aizen expresses admiration at his cunning. Stating he plans to die with Aizen in the flames, he tells Ichigo to get back, for he is not part of the Gotei 13 and he should not have to endure their fate.

When Aizen asks if he would really risk killing the other combatants to try and destroy him, Yamamoto states they are all prepared to die to destroy evil, which is the true spirit of the Gotei A released Wonderweiss appears behind Yamamoto, who, sensing his presence, attacks , only to have his blade caught by Wonderweiss, who, throwing Yamamoto, sends him crashing into the city below.

As he bids farewell to him, Wonderweiss moves to attack Yamamoto, who lands a devastating punch which, creating a large hole in Wonderweiss' chest, sends the Arrancar flying several city blocks before crashing into a building. Stating there has not been a Shinigami stronger than him born in the past thousand years, he, using Shunpo , appears in front of Aizen.

As he moves to punch him in the face, the blow is intercepted by Wonderweiss, who takes the impact instead. Yamamoto tells the Arrancar he was not planning on leaving anything to chance, and he has some remarkable features.

Stating if he cannot break one bone, he will result to tactics which bring more pain, he removes his top. As Wonderweiss moves to attack, Yamamoto, dodging, asks Wonderweiss if he is unable to adapt and learn, or if all he is capable of is regeneration. When an arm, extending itself from out of the back of Wonderweiss' shoulder, tries to attack him, Yamamoto, grabbing it, tears it off. As Wonderweiss screams, other arms, appearing from his shoulders, attack Yamamoto with an onslaught of punches.

As he grabs Yamamoto's arms, the tops of his shoulders explode, revealing a multitude of arms, which pummel Yamamoto with an even greater magnitude of blows. Once he has stopped, an unfazed Yamamoto, asking him if this is all he has got, rips off Wonderweiss' arms. As the blow utterly destroys Wonderweiss, the screaming Arrancar shatters. When Yamamoto laments Wonderweiss' existence as pathetic and inhuman, Aizen, questioning his words, notes the very nature of being a Hollow means they, as creatures, serve no purpose and only exist to devour souls, and he gave them a purpose.

When he tells Yamamoto the only inhuman one is him, for he just crushed a soul with purpose, Yamamoto states he has no intention of entering into a pointless argument with the likes of him, for it will all soon be over.

Stating sealing the blade makes it impossible for it to create new flames, Aizen asks what happens to flames already produced, for Yamamoto had flames already in effect before Wonderweiss showed up. As he asks him where those flames were sealed, Yamamoto realizes those flames are sealed in Wonderweiss' body, and since he is dead, they will explode.

As Yamamoto jumps on the body, it erupts in a large area, destroying buildings around it. Aizen approaches as the flames subside to reveal Yamamoto, who has been injured by the explosion. Aizen states he is truly worthy of the title of Captain-Commander, having reduced the damage of such a large explosion, and had he not suppressed the explosion with his body, the flames would have vaporized the barrier around the Fake Karakura Town, and an area greater than the size of the town would have been turned to ashes.

Grabbing Aizen by the ankle, he, telling him to not make him say it again, calls Aizen naive. Ten days after Aizen's defeat and subsequent capture, Yamamoto returns to Soul Society, where his injuries are healed, save for his lost left arm. He is furious to learn that not only did Captains Shunsui, Byakuya, and Kenpachi lose their respective captain haori, but that they care very little about it.

He proceeds to scold the three for their lack of care for the symbol of their station. Following the discovery of where Yamamoto is being held, Captains Kenpachi, Shunsui, and Ukitake, alongside Yoruichi and Ichigo proceed into the underground caves of Soul Society to save him.

Ichigo resolves to himself to break the barrier and free him. When the dust settles, Yoruichi, Ichigo, Shunsui, and Ukitake see the barrier crack and shatter. When Shunsui notes Muramasa combined his power with Ichigo's attack while deflecting it toward the barrier in order to break it, they all realize they were all wrong in assuming Muramasa had placed the barrier around him, realizing too late Yamamoto had put the barrier up himself.

Awakening, Yamamoto, stating they have lost this round, uses Shunpo to move next to them. As Muramasa escapes in a huge column of flame, Ukitake asks Yamamoto what Muramasa is.

When Yamamoto is notified of the situation concerning the missing lieutenants, he calls Mayuri to his office for his opinion on the matter. After hearing Mayuri's explanation, Yamamoto organizes an urgent captains meeting in order to address the current issue occurring in Soul Society.

At the captains meeting, Mayuri explains there is a time gap in the Dangai, and further study is needed in order to determine the cause. Agreeing, Yamamoto, stating Mayuri will be in charge of the Dangai unit, orders Kenpachi Zaraki as security. As the two quarrel about their positions, Yamamoto, breaking up their argument, assigns Byakuya, Renji, and Hitsugaya to assist them.

When Byakuya, Renji, and Hitsugaya return from their trip to the Dangai, they present an item to Yamamoto. Telling him they found it at the rendezvous site in which they were meant to regroup, they claim Mayuri and the others were nowhere to be seen. Evading their attack, Yamamoto, revealing he could sense their killing intent, states he will not lose to youngsters like them. All three receive injuries from their attacks. When Reigai-Unohana, arriving, heals the two of them, Yamamoto, insisting this is still a fight to the death regardless of her presence, continues to fight.

As the fight continues, Yamamoto, seeing Reigai-Unohana has healed Reigai-Ukitake, calls them " darned children ", and unleashes his fiery-red Reiatsu. Arriving, Unohana supports him following his battle with the Reigai.

She urges him to fall back and regroup, for the Gotei 13 would fall apart without him. Later, while receiving treatment from Unohana, he asks Renji about the situation. Stating they have lost contact with the other captains, Renji, saying it is hard to believe the captains were defeated so easily, suggests the signal Urahara had received may have been incomplete. Telling the lieutenant there is no need to comfort him, Yamamoto points out the only battle-ready people are the lieutenants and Ichigo's group in the Human World.

As he says they must prepare for an invasion, Unohana notes she has noticed Hollows appearing in large numbers. After Renji leaves, Unohana turns to Yamamoto, who tells her she does not have to say it, which she relents to. Later, Yamamoto, going to the Human World, arrives in time to save his subordinates from Reigai-Byakuya with a powerful surge of flames, which defeats the Reigai.

Though Yamamoto insists everyone stay back, Nozomi, determined to not let anyone else get hurt because of her, charges forward to fight the Reigai, prompting Ichigo to back her up. Despite this, Yamamoto breaks free from his imprisonment with an enormous eruption of blazing Reiatsu.

As the three Reigai prepare to engage Yamamoto, Inaba, convinced Yamamoto has been weakened enough, appears to take over the fight. After a brief skirmish, Ichigo warns the captain of Inaba's Shikai, prompting Yamamoto to state he is already aware of it.

While thinking of how to handle Inaba, Nozomi offers to be a distraction, allowing for an opening to attack. Before she attacks, Yamamoto secretly gives some of his Reiatsu to Nozomi's Shikai. She attacks Inaba, who dodges her attacks.

Finding the opening he needs, Yamamoto attacks with a powerful fire blast. As Inaba, seeing it, reacts, Ichigo launches an attack of his own. As the explosion settles, Inaba, emerging unharmed, reveals since he could not negate and copy their attacks at the same time, he instead copied Nozomi's absorption power and used it to counter Yamamoto and Ichigo's attack.

When Inaba unleashes all the collected energy against Yamamoto, Nozomi, appearing in front of Yamamoto, attempts to absorb the blast. Unable to absorb such large amounts of energy at once, Nozomi's blade shatters. Before the blast can hit her, Yamamoto, intervening, pushes her out of the way and counters the blast. The colliding blasts erupt and launch them both to the ground.

Badly injured, Nozomi asks him why he saved her after voicing his disapproval of her as a Mod-Soul. Stating his pride will not allow him to be saved by a child, Yamamoto collapses. Later, Inaba emerges, hurt, but still able to fight. As he attempts to take Nozomi, Yamamoto, regaining consciousness, launches a fire blast at him, giving Nozomi a chance to retreat. Inaba goes after her, but Yamamoto is too weak to follow. During a meeting with the captains in the 1st Division office, Urahara asks for help with restoring Ichigo's powers.

Yamamoto tells Urahara to give him the special sword he would be using for this purpose, prompting Unohana to ask if he intends to help. He states they were saved by Ichigo, and it is now their turn to save him, regardless if the action is going against customs, for it would be shameful if they did not help somebody they owed so much to. He orders all the captains and lieutenants to place their Reiatsu into the sword. Later, a messenger reports to Yamamoto Ichigo has arrived in Soul Society.

When Ichigo arrives at the First Division, he meets with Yamamoto and most of the other captains. After Ichigo explains his reasons to Shinji, Yamamoto states he believes Ichigo thought carefully about it before making his request. In his office, Yamamoto receives reports about the investigations carried out by the Eleventh Division and Ninth Division regarding the disappearances in the Rukongai.

As his messenger begins to report about the Tenth Division , he is struck down before he can finish his sentence. Yamamoto turns to find the culprits are seven masked individuals. When he demands to know who they are, one, greeting him, reveals they are there to declare war on the Gotei One of the masked men states he can tell Yamamoto wants to ask who they are, and they will never answer, though it is easy to figure out who they really are. He notices their Reiatsu has already disappeared from the Seireitei, meaning they are not affected by the Shakonmaku.

At a captains meeting, Yamamoto listens to Akon 's report on the rebels who have declared war on Soul Society. Mayuri tells them their enemies are Quincy , but he does not know how they were able to infiltrate the Seireitei. Deciding they have heard enough, Yamamoto states he just wants to know where their headquarters are. When Mayuri asserts they do not know, Yamamoto, lamenting how they cannot invade them, requests all captains present prepare for war so they will not be unprepared for an attack the next time.

When Yamamoto, asking why he did not attain permission, notes given the seriousness of the situation, he would have attained it, Mayuri states he would have had to take responsibility if things got worse. Driscoll Berci is burned to the bones by Yamamoto's Shikai. Confronting Yhwach , he states he has come to annihilate the Quincy. When Yamamoto gives a disappointed look, Yhwach asks what is on his mind, prompting Yamamoto to attack.

As Yhwach blocks it, though still sustaining injury to his forearm, Yamamoto tells him he has not changed, and the wicked way in which he looks down on his own subordinates will end here today. When Yhwach states Yamamoto has gotten old, but the way he allows his anger to get the best of him reminds him of when he was younger, Yamamoto tells him to be silent, before attacking.

Yhwach evades and generates his Reishi sword, which Yamamoto acknowledges. When Yhwach states he acts as though he was waiting for him to bring the sword out, Yamamoto, acknowledging he was waiting for it so he may destroy Yhwach entirely, activates his Bankai, Zanka no Tachi. While Haschwalth questions the look of what is apparently Yamamoto's Bankai, Yhwach, telling him he should not underestimate the sword, details its power - it is a sword with a tremendous flame.

Yamamoto tells Yhwach he can try the blade of Zanka no Tachi on his own body and determine for himself if it is the same as 1, years ago or not.

Activating Zanka no Tachi, Higashi: Kyokujitsujin , he explains its ability, stating not even the Quincy's Blut Vene can defend against it. Noting the technique is boring, Yhwach, stating he simply has to cut him without touching his sword, moves to attack the Shinigami. When he finds his own sword has been incinerated, much to his surprise, Yamamoto tells him he is too confident, and he should listen when people talk.

Questioning why Yhwach is just standing around, Yamamoto encourages him to run if nothing else. When Yhwach fires a Heilig Pfeil , Yamamoto destroys it, stating that his attack makes sense: since his sword is broken, arrows are all he has left. As he moves to attack, Yhwach activates Kirchenlied: Sankt Zwinger.

Surprised by the ability, Yhwach questions what is happening. When Yamamoto explains that it brings those who died by his sword back, Yhwach laughs at the ability, finding the leader of the Gotei 13 being able to call the dead funny, and states Yamamoto is a disgrace to think such an attack can stop him. As he moves to attack, he is blocked by a wall of skeletons. Yamamoto tells him to stop talking and look closer. Looking closer at the undead skeletons, Yhwach is shocked to see the faces of his former subordinates.

When Yamamoto starts to leave, Yhwach asks where he is going. Yamamoto states he is making some distance, and if he wants to kill him, he should kill his former subordinates and come and do so. Asking Yhwach if he regrets not taking his Bankai from the start, Yamamoto, claiming he knows why he could not take it in the first place, states it has come to the end of their battle and activates Zanka no Tachi, Kita: Tenchi Kaijin , incinerating a large section of Yhwach's torso and arm.

Falling to the ground as Yamamoto deactivates his Bankai, Yhwach, stating his power was not enough, apologizes to "the great Yhwach". Wondering why Yhwach would apologize for losing when he caused the war, Yamamoto, turning around, is surprised to find the opponent he fought against was not Yhwach, but the imitating Sternritter, Royd Lloyd.

Hearing a large explosion, he sees the 1st Division headquarters burning. As he screams out to his 3rd Seat , whom he had left in charge, the true Yhwach, appearing behind Yamamoto, thanks Royd for his service before incinerating his body with a Quincy technique.

When Yamamoto asks him what he has been up to this entire time, Yhwach asks what is underneath the First Division headquarters. Yhwach states that he went to the Central Underground Prison to speak to Aizen and ask him to join his army as a Special War Potential, though he refused the offer. He asks Yamamoto if he used his power to fight his decoy.

When Yamamoto begins to initiate Bankai, Yhwach, steals it with a medallion. Yhwach explains how it was not that they could not take his Bankai, but it is that his power is too enormous for anyone but Yhwach himself to handle. Stating this is why he ordered Royd to not do anything until he returns, he goads Yamamoto by asking him if he should use his Bankai and call forth dead Shinigami to attack him.

As Yhwach waves his sword, a large sword made of spiritual energy falls from the sky. Bidding Yamamoto farewell, Yhwach attacks him. Bisected from his shoulder to his waist, a dying Yamamoto falls down. As Yhwach, berating him, attempts to walk away, Yamamoto grabs hold of him. Cutting off his arm, Yhwach, calling Yamamoto foolish, explains why he never listed him as one of the war potentials.

He says that Yamamoto had gotten weak over time, and that he was only truly a threat 1, years ago. He states Soul Society will die soon, but that Yamamoto never understood that the Gotei 13 died 1, years ago along with the Quincy. Unleashing an onslaught of Reishi blasts on Yamamoto, Yhwach completely obliterates Yamamoto's body.

Yamamoto's Battle Data, clockwise. He effortlessly caught a strike from the deceptively fast Ayon. Yamamoto can deliver powerful blows which can smash through Espada -level Hierro , and block the majority of multiple punches from a multi-armed opponent. He can produce immensely powerful barriers to protect him from all but the strongest of attacks. He overtook both captains, and arrived at their destination first without even being noticed by them.

He can quickly adjust to new developments and make quick decisions accordingly. He has great tactical acumen, proven by his preparations for the battle in the Fake Karakura Town. As noted by Aizen, Yamamoto is very cunning, setting up a trap to kill him while Aizen was focused on the Visored and the rest of the Gotei Immeasurable Spiritual Power : Being the most experienced Shinigami, Yamamoto possesses an extremely massive and powerful Reiryoku. Immense Strength : In addition to his surprisingly muscular physique for his age, Yamamoto possesses tremendous physical strength.

He easily and swiftly put a large hole into the chest of the monster Ayon without much effort at all, using only the blunt end of his cane. With a single hand, he stopped one of Ayon's strikes and overpowered it, despite it having enlarged its arm and increased its strength several folds. Immense Durability : Yamamoto possesses remarkable durability. He took an onslaught of punches from Wonderweiss' multiple arms twice, and came out completely unfazed by the assault, with no more than simple scratches.

Immense Endurance : Despite his old age, Yamamoto can fight for extended periods of time, even when outnumbered, with no visible signs of exhaustion.

He can take direct attacks from others unfazed. He can endure being impaled on a sword without so much as flinching from the perceived damage, even when the blow is dealt by the likes of Aizen, a powerful opponent.

At any time, Yamamoto can remove this disguise by peeling off the wood, revealing its true form of a standard katana, with a dark purple handle and a circular hand guard. Should Wonderweiss be killed, the flames would burst with explosive force. Bleach Wiki Explore. Bleach Media. Reverse London Magic. I sxpect for himsn standards i ll give it years. I estimate he might be like year old soul.

Divell said:. CaptainCommander Well-Known Member. You missed an important fact. He founded the Academy years ago. He is at least As for age, it is hard to tell.

He's an ancient one whose aging doesn't make much sense. We also don't know if he was born in SS or came there in adulthood. CaptainCommander said:. Xelioszzapporro said:. Gin said:. Does anybody know how young was Yamamoto when he fought Ikomikidomoe and lost?

Do they mention when those events took place years ago , years ago??? If anybody knows please tell me that's super important. That number rings a bell Did Oetsu mention it? If you don't mind send me a panel of the statement or simply name me the chapter. Pretty old. No it came out in one of the very first databooks. Mider T said:. Super helpful answer , to say the least. I do what I can.

You probably mean the Masked Databook. Adamant soul Well-Known Member. Thousands of years old, hence why he's so powerful. I would say k years old.

He was born before shinigami were using zanpaktou. Medjaynegus Well-Known Member. Ejenku said:. We know he was middle-aged 2, years ago so he was probably in the k range when he died assuming he aged at a steady rate.

Zeit said:. I dunno about that, while Ryujin Jakka is called the "oldest" fire-type zanpakuto, Yama uses "bankai" instead of "shin'uchi" which Ichibei called the original term. Do you know by any change how old was Yamamoto when he fought and lost to Ikomikidomoe? Or when the event took place?? Why does it matter? It matters a lot , because Shunsui said in the 13 Blades , that Yamamoto's power has not decreased at all.

Mind you I have the Databook myself and I even translated just to be sure that the translation that I saw is accurate and it is And if Yamamoto was at the same power when he lost to Ikomikidomoe as he is now.

Medjaynegus said:. No it isn't, ikomikidomoe that Zaraki fought was weakened by ichibei taking his name. Also, hikone mostly being its master also had to do with its defeat. Do you have proof? And if so , by how much , because from what I read in Reddit he just used a single attack with Nozarashi and it was all over.
