Extraordinary. For a second I thought they would drop the ball in Ichigo's inner world and rush through what is probably the most emotional moment in the entire series, but they managed to adapt it quite well without taking an entire episode on it.
See everyone next season for more Bleach goodness.

They really explained everything perfectly in these last 2 episodes all I want to say is the animation was crisp the soundtracks were amazing and Bleach is back Ichigoat looked sick with his new zampacto definitely looking forward to the second part i saw that it’ll air on July 2023 but it’s worth it

Ichigo coming to terms with his Quincy and Hollow side was a touching moment, but there are some bits that I like even more:

Ichigo using only a fraction of his power until now and still destroying pretty much anyone else in the show makes you wonder just how much of a natural prodigy he is as a Shinigami
Further to that, since his Hollowfication breaks the boundary between Shinigami and Quincy, he can get even further than his unseen Shinigami potential
And let's not forget that we have yet to see anything significant from his Quincy side, if it's going to be used in any significant way; though maybe skin hardening and negating Quincy shenaningans might be the extent of that

Toshiro going back to Zanjutsu basics was very cool to someone practicing Kendo

Hisagi is going to get his Bankai drawn out? I didn't think we'd get to see that in the show, that's just extra hype

Also, does Yhwachi really need Ishida's power to win this war? They already destroyed the best that Gotei 13 had to offer with little casualty. Maybe he's still wary of facing the Soul King and Division 0, despite his constant smug expression?

Especially considering how weak Ishida has proven to be to date; his best showing involved Letzt Stil and he didn't even manage to kill a Captain with that
Let's say that these Quincy can teach him the more stable version of that technique - that's betting on some future potential at best

I'll give you a clue: Isshin said Yhwach's awakening caused the death of impure quincies. Uryuu's mom died from being impure. Uryuu is alive.

It's an amazing episode seeing that this will be Ichigo's final redition of Zangetsu; and Uyuru's betrayal!? Did not see that coming and now I have to wait to see why. I'm only confused on whether Old Man Zangetsu inside ichigo actually vanished and became part of his new zanpakuto or he died off.

I don't even like Bleach and this season gets a 10 from me. Absolute masterclass wrap-up with more to come. Can't wait.

Lie until what you want to be true becomes truth. Lie until you can't remember what's a lie and what isn't. Lie until you aren't lying anymore!

I always knew Zangetsu was Yhwach from the beginning he always looked similarly like him in my eyes when I first saw Yhwach and Zangetsu side by side. And I cannot forget the OST used at the end it was perfect, Ichigo’s Theme will forever be an iconic song😩

They didn't call Ishida "Prinz von Licht" like in the manga

kinda disappointing on that part but all else is good

I was watching the OP and thinking that Zangetsu looks like Yhwach!

Damn..goodbye old man Zangetsu, I was hoping to see Shiro as well though :/
I guess this means even at Final Getsuga Tensho form, Zangetsu was holding him back?

Number one ending was so hype!!
7 month wait after waiting for 10 years :(

Dat ending with his two new zanpakuto.
So all along his zanpakuto power comes from Hollow and now he has access to Quincy "zanpakuto".
Question, where is his shinigami power comes from? Hollow?

Man I just can't stop replaying the part where Ichigo pulls Zangetsu out of the flames. Nimaya's scream on top of Ichigo's scream alongside the beat of the Number One OST remix is just peak!

Also very excited for Cour 2. Unfortunately, Kanno and Cindy Yamauichi are leaving the core staff and they did major heavy lifting for the first cour but at least Takashi Hashimoto is going to replace Kanno. Hashimoto, just like Kanno, is a beast. I was really hoping for Shinichi Kurita, Shingo Ogiso or Teruaki Tokumaru to return for the TYBW but there's still a chance now that Cindy is not a part of the core staff anymore.

So... After ten years.... Even if we never asked... we learned that the reason why the "Shikai" and "Bankai" of Ichigo are so "simple" (it's just a sword) is because... it's not a (real) Bankai.
Which explains why Ichigo needed only three days to master it and why the Quincy could not steal it.
But, if, from the start Ichigo had been using Quincy power, then, the prison (which cannot trap Quincy) shouldn't have work from the start ?

What a fantastic way to end this first part of Bleach, it leaves you wanting more and more. I loved this ep 13 from start to finish, I liked seeing everyone getting ready for what's to come, the highlight was Ichigo confronting Zangetsu, I almost wanted to cry in those scenes and I have to say that the young Yhwach With that cape, his dark glasses and the Quincy sword, he was EPIC uffffff. The ending with Ichigo getting the 2 swords leaves your hair on end.

In general, the adaptation of this arc of Bleach in this first part exceeded my expectations in most aspects, I only have 2 problems, one was the pace in several episodes that was too rushed for my taste, it also has to do with what we have been used to Bleach was a weekly anime and the pace in those times was slower than now, current animes generally get to the point faster than before, even so I feel that at least 2 to 3 more eps were needed in this 1st part and my second problem was that the Ichigo vs Quilge fight didn't feel like a central fight, that fight should have been like Ichigo vs Ginjo, Ichigo at the end of the Fulbringer saga is a chad in a matter of power, this op and the confrontation with Quilge it must have been like that display of power like that of Ichigo de Ginjo before facing off against the heavyweights of the Quincys.

I'm happy with the return of one of the greatest animes of all time, Pierrot is adapting it very well, you can see the love he's putting into this Bleach arc, well, Bleach has always been Pierrot's conceited one. I give the adaptation 9/10.

PS: Ep 7 Born in the Dark seems to me one of the best anime productions of all time.

Ichigo is dual sword wielding now, lets see his full power seeing that the Quincy blood in him is holding him back for so long

There's wasn't much content in the manga regarding his new powers. Hope to see more in the anime. Manga fight was underwhelming when they started rushing Kubo.

Probably one of the best episodes of the season. Can't wait to see Ichigo use his new sword.
