| Damn, felt bad for Yamamoto ....especially with his lieutenant gone. Even those short glimpses of them together was sad. The story Pesche told to Ichigo and his friends was kinda terrifying. Still, seeing characters like him and Nel bought back a lot of nostalgia. This episode really isn't holding back to show how brutal the Wandenreich are. Once again, I am quite impressed on what was shown this episode. |
 |
| Nel is so freaking adorable. I missed her so much. She's still so small and adorable. And, her Itsigo always gets me. And, I love how Ichigo still treats her like a child. That's cute. Aside from that, the Quincy King is brutal AF. Sasakibe... :'( Vueco Mundo is in trouble. Also, Hannibel is not looking good. Man... no censorship does feel good. Great to see Urahara back. He looks fine as ever. LOL. The OP was good but I prefer the ED a little bit more. Excited for the next episode. |
 |
| Man Yhwach is super savage, nevermind the enemies, he's blowing away his own comrades like it's the most fun thing in the world. Also hey always use present tense when talking to him, because this man absolutely loathes anything concerned with the future. Plenty of old faces making their return, though not going to lie it's Urahara with his age old impeccable timing to barge in a conversation took the cake. Ichigo's in Hueco Mundo and things about to go bonkers in Soul society. Peak Hype. Okay opening and ending, though it's the visuals making their presence feel. Pierrot doing some unusual good work a sight for sore eyes. |
 |
| AMAZING EPISODE! I love the OPED! Never heard anything from SennaRin before. Has that Hiroyuki Sawano touch you can clearly hear. Tatsuya Kitani is one of my favorites. |
| Sasakibe's funeral, damn... F Also, one of the most iconic characters is here. THAT HAT.  |
| another great episode the animation is top tier Orihime looks really cute it's so good to see Urahara and nel again and the op and ed are good |

| Another stellar episode with great pacing. We got up to half of 488. Everything flew by with eye candy all over the place. A lot of hidden spoilers in the OP most people who didn't read the arc won't get, like, stuff for muuuuch later haha Another easy 5/5 |

| What a great episode, really enjoyed seeing the Tres Bestias going ham on a bunch of the quincy soldiers completely uncensored. The tone of this new Thousand Year Blood War season has been incredible so far, really happy with how they are adapting this arc! And great to see Urahara again! And the OP is fantastic! |

| New scene that wasn't in the original manga featuring Halibel (now governor of Hueco Mundo) being defeated by Yhwach. Direction was excellent.   |

Another one that was unfortunately not present is Ishida's speculation that they may have sent the novice shinigami to Karakura on purpose in order to keep Ichigo informed and have him help in case things went very wrong. All of which are not essential, but kinda still are cool bits of info and food for thought, but hey, nothing that actually damages anything, and they only have 4 cours for 20+ volumes. |

| The Quincy King is beyond brutal and absolutely insane. Great re-introduction to Hueco Mundo. I had forgotten about Nel and her Itsygo loving self. Sasakibe's funeral seemed too short. Poor Genryuusai! He lost his ENTIRE squad. That's gotta hurt something fierce. I wouldn't want to be in the area when he goes for his revenge.

Thanks for that information. I found it enlightening and think it is somewhat important especially for we anime onlys. I speculated on why they sent novice shinigami's to Katakura Town from the beginning and thought it was to keep Ichigo informed. I was also kind of worried about Genryuusai. |

| There was one awkward little transition in the second half of the episode but the rest of the episode was well directed for the most part, some nice shots, usage and restraint even when it comes to music, and animation and storyboarding for most of the episode. Got some nostalgia seeing some old characters again too, alongside Hueco Mundo being showcased again, albeit in a brutal situation with Harribel in big trouble after being captured by Yhwach. Opening and ending songs aren't Bleach's best if you look at all the songs from the original anime compared to these newer ones and maybe a tad underwhelming because of that (Rapport last week was awesome though for the special ED), but they aren't too bad either. Overall, this episode was nothing special but it was decent enough to watch to continue from the previous week while building the conflicts and build to war with the Soul Reapers and the Quincies. Yhwach looks intimidating here, which is nice and the bloodiness and lack of censorship here is a good touch too. Pacing was good too, feels way more watchable so far than most of Bleach when it comes purely to pacing. |
| OP and ED are nice nice to see Nel and Urahara again the Quincy King vs Halibel was a nice added filler there it is the Quincies are the final enemy and Orihime really got bigger boobs now  |

| My question is, how are Halibel's leutenants alive? Weren't they fried by Yamamoto? |

| So the weak link, the OP. With somewhat a lack of flair expected from the song of a Bleach OP, in my opinion. Nel appearing brought a little brightness to the mostly dark episode. |

Thanks for that information. I think that is kind of impt actually, especially for we anime onlys. I've speculating on why they sent novice shinigami and had the same thought. Like, the thing is, it's not really ever confirmed iirc, just heavily implied even in the anime, except without Ishida's directly addressing that it may just be the case. So if you especulated as much, that already means it's not something that couldn't get trimmed, aka, non-essential. Still was nice to have it spelled outright, since it's always a cool extra showing Ishida did consider as much. As for Sasakibe's funeral, there was some little trivia during the exchange with Renji talking about how it was the first time he used his bankai and how strong and important to Genryuusai he was, but then again, it's not exactly essential overall, you can surely see how devastated the poor old man look, and the other info was just trivia, about him, that made the impact a bit heavier. Other than those two scenes, the only thing they trimmed was some little bits of comedy that I actually think it was a good idea to take away, since they were a little bit of mood-whiplashes in the scenes they were in (particularly the ringtone with the novice shinigami's senpai's voice (which made her blush) when, well, the atmosphere was supposed to be more somber and talk about the hundreds of dead shinigamis lol). |

| there was a fraction of Sakuga in this episode, but it was insane. Loved it. Can't wait for Ichigo vs Quilge and the Invasion. |

| Looks really amazing yet again. The uncensoring feels so good to watch. Yhwach is as cold as ever. It’s great to see Hueco Mundo and Harribel again. The OP and ED ARE SO GOOD !! I need more episodes !!! |
| If you want me to prepare a rope for the sake of hanging yourself, forget it. But… If it's a rope for the sake of pulling you up from Hell, no matter how many ropes it takes, I'll prepare them for you. ~Sakata Gintoki |
| I'm loving the uncensored version of Bleach, so much blood! Another great episode, tentatively waiting for the next episode. |
| Oho that was great, I absolute love the amount of gore Bleach has now that is not heavily censored like the OG. |
| "We could make the world better, but it's easier to just shut our eyes." ~Blackwall |
| Another fantastic episode. Nice to see more familiar faces returning like Urahara and the Squad Captains. More top tier animation during the action sequences as well. And shout out to Tatsuya Kitani for another banger with that OP song. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Quilge epic as expected. The voice actor delivered him perfectly and the fight of the Jagdarmee against the Tres Bestias was better than what I thought it would be since it wasn't anything major, just some supporting characters against mooks. Hope his fight against Ichigo ends being epic. |
