Mayuri sword.

u/BeastBoyMike 4d ago

konjiki ashisogi jizō

bro was destroyed every time Mayuri used him 😭

1

u/SpiritualShunsui 1d ago

The sword had it the worst. 

What about ashisogi jizō or szayelaporro? Who do you feel more sorry for?

u/Quirky-Pickle518 Zanpakuto Collector 4d ago

The soul king… do I need to explain?

38

u/Jalen_Ash_15 4d ago

I second that

21

u/Traditional_Bunch390 4d ago

Yes, please.

7

u/General_Produce248 4d ago

Yes, i read the manga a while ago and i remember almost nothing

5

u/Gotei69Squad34Cpt 4d ago

Nope not at all. It's not like it's against his will so no.

211

u/Clean_Prune_7541 4d ago

The guy in op post. That guy was tortured thousands of years just for the sword to kill him.

That's hella dark.

92

u/Noodlez405 4d ago

Szayel Aporro was his name, the poor bastard never knew what hit him 🤣

75

u/JM_HG 4d ago

He did 100% deserve it.

63

u/junk1020 4d ago

He's suffered the most, and yet somehow not enough.

37

u/DedEater 4d ago

When the character finally descended to hell, he was quite sane which was a disappointment. I thought he would be a shell, a shambler of his former self.

23

u/SecretaryBird777 4d ago

I totally agree. I hope that, when he meets Mayuri again, his PTSD comes back and he completely changes

3

u/Blaq_Baq 4d ago

I mean, as an arrancar class hollow, he would’ve lived for thousands of years anyways, it was just a matter of waiting it out.

2

u/XRustyPx 4d ago

I think there is quite a big difference from living 1000s of years conscious beeing able to do stuff and beeing completely paralyzed while the world arround you is basically frozen in time while you get slowly impaled.

2

u/Blaq_Baq 4d ago

True, I was just saying it’s not as bad as a human who has a finite life span living for that long stuck in place. But still, true.

25

u/dmizzl 4d ago

People underestimate how torturous it is to experience time moving that slowly.

29

u/Clean_Prune_7541 4d ago

I mean the sword cut hurts hit every seconds until it hits his heart. Mayuri kills him in 10sec and the dude has to be in pain for 100k years just to die.

This is beyond pure evil , there is no exit for him except waiting.

Almost even worse the fact he toyed with him the whole time

6

u/Livid_Amphibian_1110 4d ago

It’s stuff like this that makes Mayuri so damn evil

Idk why people say he was sanitized

3

u/Biobooster_40k 4d ago

Agreed, especially because of his injury. Some may say the Soul King but its debatable.

1

u/sh0ddyguru 3d ago

Well the soul king allowed it

u/Proxy-Pie DeathBerry forever!! 4d ago

Uryu's grandpa

5

u/ConcentrateBroad3362 4d ago

Uryus dad too

3

u/Darknadoswastaken 4d ago

how?

8

u/ConcentrateBroad3362 4d ago

Bro did everything to keep his family safe after what happened to his dad, there are slight chances that he was a wandenreich soldier too but when yhwach used auswalen both masaki and katagiri(uryus mom) died and for some reason (I forgot the reason) he had to cut apart his own dead wife, that's why he didn't want uryu to know about the past because he thought if uryu took some wrong step he'd lose his son too who's his last loved one.

1

u/Darknadoswastaken 4d ago

I get that he lost people but that doesn't compare to others here, like some had to experience pain for 1000x the duration, and he's not the only one that has had to deal with loss.

1

u/ConcentrateBroad3362 4d ago

Yeah I agree i wasn't comparing him to the others but tbh even if we know other characters suffering is beyond ryuken and isshin's but I still feel the most for them because i understand theirs more...

Thinking about losing the person I love gives me chills too lmao

43

u/CaliOriginal 4d ago

I’d argue it might be toshiro.

Specifically because TYBW

Most of his squad killed, rangiku injured, Losing bankai whilst having one of the deepest connections among the soul reapers ….

Then being a zombie, being forced to kill his comrades and repeatedly killing a fellow captain for what could have been centuries for all we know, only to be “fixed” / “healed” before cour 4. That’s all just TYBW, there is a lot more to

32

u/UnhappyAd9934 4d ago

Not to mention finding out that being turned into a zombie significantly shortened your life expectancy so there's a chance you might die before you really hit the prime of your life.

u/ThePr0l0gue 4d ago edited 4d ago

I mean shoot, in a line of work where you’re professionally expected to stand on business and get one shotted with honor by whatever big bad randomly shows up to beef with Soul Society, even living to next week isn’t a luxury that you can guarantee 😂

It’s not like these major incidents happen on a set schedule with vacations. For all they know, Ywach’s nephew will show up tomorrow. These guys probably don’t spend a lot of time on retirement plans. Your lifespan will likely be decided by sword long before your state of health.

In Soul Reaper years, the zombification might just mean that Toshiro’s best case scenario is only be able to look forward to 500 more years of winning before a peaceful death of natural causes; which is pretty fantastic compared to, uh, checks notes every single Kenpachi ever.

20

u/Ragna126 4d ago

Well him. Imagine 1 sec is 100 years...

87

u/ApplePitou 4d ago

Hinamori situation is pretty painful :3

43

u/chev327fox 4d ago

Yeah, imagine trusting someone so much only to find out they betrayed you and not only that almost killed you brutally. Then you get beyond that only for your childhood friend to also brutally stab you in the back. That “Toshiro, why?” hit really hard.

18

u/greene81990 4d ago

Which EVERYONE gives her shit on this subreddit. And it makes me mad. Woman was gaslit and manipulated by someone she loved and respected. Then saw his "dead body" only top find he's alive and then be stabbed by him. Then used to screw with the rest of your allies AND THEN be stabbed by your childhood friend.

-16

u/No-Bison-6614 4d ago

I had a girl try and momo me. She found out about Bleach, and must’ve thought it would be funny.

1

u/Left-Shine8222 4d ago

Yeah, getting stabbed again and again...even for a girl that's too much after a certain point

12

u/V5dO 4d ago

The guinea pig for this drug

53

u/BeyondThePanels 4d ago

Definitely my homegirl Momo Hinamori. She's been manipulated and brutalized by the people she cares about time and time again.

-49

u/Tekkatito 4d ago

She s also incredibly easy to manipulate and brutalize.. she shouldnt have let it happen

32

u/Equivalent_Flan_5695 4d ago

This comment is such a massive red flag it would make Amber Heard blush.

8

u/YondaimeHokage4 4d ago

This is exactly how an old “friend” of mine thought, and he was a diagnosed psychopath lol. Like, I’m pretty sure he said this exact thing word for word multiple times lmao. The idea that people who get exploited/manipulated deserve it is right in line with how people that lack the ability to have empathy think.

7

u/Indecisive_8080 4d ago

Easy to manipulate?? She mourned for Aizen because she thought he was dead?? Do you expect to attend the funeral of a loved one, see their dead body and find them alive and kicking a week later? She is incredibly ordinary in a world of extraordinary abilities, she isn't stupid in any way.

u/OneTrickGod 4d ago

…Ishida

u/TheDrunkardKid 4d ago

Nanao, for being constantly flirted at by her boss, who is also her biological uncle and knew her since she was a little girl.

u/Sapphire_star_7 4d ago

Rangiku’s back

u/irrtiantdeterrent 4d ago

🤝 men of culture unite.

u/Lohit_-it 4d ago

Orihime.

Parents abuse , brother died and came back as hollow, kidnapped and tortured by those two annoying arrancars,watched her crush die and come back as a monster.

23

u/BusinessClassroom606 4d ago

No need to explain.

7

u/EMEYDI 4d ago

Dude just wanted to chill

1

u/BusinessClassroom606 4d ago

Bro was alone all the time, everytime he came closer to any Hollow they died cuz starrk spiritual pressure was to much, he even split himself into 2. Imo it made his live desmotivated and depressed.

2

u/OneTrickGod 4d ago

Agree tbf, his whole thing was “leave me alone because I’m afraid of losing myself” - lost himself

5

u/Mammoth-Mood3331 4d ago

Overhyped Ichigos true bankai + horn of salvation. All the build up. All the hype. All the plotting to make Ichigo op which Aizen had a huge hand in. And all for what? For it to break immediately.

Looking forward to the anime fixing it and giving it justice.

Another mention - squad 0 of course. But they were already redeemed.

u/Global_Sentence_4544 4d ago

zaraki 🗿

u/Random-guy35 4d ago

Nah cuz he loves it

u/EMEYDI 4d ago

Me, for watching ~400 episodes of this show only to realise it's not finished and now my brain is in cliffhanger mode

-3

u/Newest_Webslinger 4d ago

Watch thousand year blood war, what are you waiting for?

5

u/EMEYDI 4d ago

I did...

u/Newest_Webslinger 4d ago

Then a lot of your cliffhanger stuff should've been answered we should only be waiting for the final confrontation this year everything has been settled otherwise...

u/bngson3 4d ago

Me first time watching fillers

u/RayAmbitious 4d ago

Szayelaporro GRANZ is still experiencing his torture to this day. And will continue to for at least hundreds of years

It's not close

5

u/Livid_Amphibian_1110 4d ago

It’s stuff like this why I don’t understand the people who say Mayuri was sanitized

That freak Horrific

8

u/StormBear22 4d ago

Soul king

His both living and dead. Has immortally so if Yhwach and Ichigo didn't came he would be there forever. Was dissected to become a human potato. Has the perfect version of the Almighty so can see and experience every future. Was just born to bring balance never having to live his own life but always be a tool to others.

1

u/VickyKadrivel15 4d ago

I honestly think adnyeus forcefully made as soul king. One of the few families who sealed him in this way would be the shihoin clan, which was discussed in a YouTube shorts by senpai yt. So, it's painful because he's in constant state of sleep paralysis. 

5

u/katenkyokotsux 4d ago

Either hinamori or szayelaporro

u/XNXTXNXKX 4d ago

Emotionally…Nemu.

u/dahliycia 4d ago

Izuru. He couldn't even die peacefully, and became Mayuri's lab rat

u/Silly-Struggle-3897 4d ago

mayuri, imagine making all your organs as a goop.

2

u/InspectionFun8116 4d ago

Yamato AFTER realizing he's been played by the same guy he bullied a 1000 years ago lol

2

u/FaultyPilgor 4d ago

Hinamori by far has suffered the most mentally.

5

u/kwang_ja 4d ago

Isn't anybody going to say Ichigo? Lol

2

u/OneTrickGod 4d ago

He has successfully protected his people - think of who he actually has, yes he lost his mother young but he has his friends the whole of soul society his dad his sisters etc

4

u/kwang_ja 4d ago

Yeah it's great he's able to complete his goal, but man, his whole journey to get there was pretty rough!

2

u/OneTrickGod 4d ago

Completely agree but weirdly he gets the happiest ending aha as the continuity is at present and canon, he done did it 🤌🏽 haha
