The enemies are falling over faster than dark souls bosses, and what's the point in explaining fear for half the episode if the main character can just "overcome" it?

These new powers as the plot demands it are just powerful glitter too. It's like super saiyans, the angrier they feel the more they shout, the more powerful the effects.

ICHIGO IS COMING TO THE BATTLE, AND ACCORDING TO HIS ESTIMATION HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET THERE WITHIN 24 HOURS (SO MAYBE WE’LL SEE HIM IN THE NEXT EPISODE OR THE ONE AFTER).

Until then, we got to see what resulted in Rukia’s training and the true essence of her Shikai, Sode no Shirayuki. Rather than being an Ice Zanpakuto similar to Toshiro’s Hyourinmaru, it simply freezes stuff around Rukia (and also freezes her body). I’m not sure how any normal opponent fights back against having their body go below freezing in which As Nodt explains that would render someone dead.

It was cool to see Byakuya come in to help Rukia in her time of need reminding her that she truly doesn’t have any fears. I knew that Byakuya wasn’t using his Senbonzakura Kageyoshi and just using his Shikai against As Nodt, which is why I was confused when Nodt suggested that he was using it. I’m glad Byakuya cleared things up and instead of being the guy who saved Rukia from Zommari Leroux, he allowed Rukia to show what she’s truly capable of and finish the fight herself and for the first time truly acknowledging that she’s truly a strong Soul Reaper and we got to see her Bankai, Hakka no Togame in action. She looked like an Ice Queen with such an appearance and display.

What will they do next and can anybody stop these three who trained in the Royal Palace?!

as a rukia fan, i'm so satisfied! I didn't thought this episode will be awesome. Because i think kupo is a psycho, he made gin a sadist villain, remember what he did to Rukia and kubo made him hero after. I can't tell spoiler but marriage episode will be terrible too. Anime main thinks was always king and queen but.. nvm.. I was waiting to see Rukia, i don't care cannon anymore. This episode so cool. Gear 5 killer :)

Holy fuck Rukia Bankai Rukia Bankai this isn't a drill. I actually gasped when i saw it the design was amazing and lighting + effects of the snow and reflections were gorgeous, they were not liking when they said the, "most beautiful Bankai".
So squad Zero's training for Rukia was her Bankai, which taught her that Sodenoshirayuki wasn't emitting ice from her blade, but lowering the body temperature of the user which is pretty unique. Damn Rukia feels like she's also grown as a person with her Bankai acquired, i'm also kinda interested to know how byakuya changed after squad zero's training.

I'm not even gonna sugar coat it, As Nodt design goes fucking wild, they really pushed the boundaries of his design to be as unnerving and creepy as possible and shit was pretty good. From his movements to his second form or the visuals of his fear, shit was freaky at times and cool as shit. Props to Kubo with the design.
Fear Manipulation sounds like such an interesting concept since it could literally affect anyone, i'm kinda interested to see what would of happened if they kept As Nodt in a support position, fear the enemy while another SternRitter attacks.
Also it didn't clock until now that Matsuoka Yoshitsugu is As Nodt's voice actor, man did such an amazing job with the vocal ranges and i thought his Petelgeuse voice was crazy enough. He can literally voice the calmest sane MC protagonist then flip to shit like this, mad respect to him.

Jesus, that was terrifying, I wasn't expecting that creepy tone. It felt like a horror anime for a bit, I recommend watching it with headphones on. As Nodt VA delivered everything with his performance. 
And Rukia Bankai may be the prettiest in all of Bleach.



PEOPLE ARE NOT READY FOR THE NEXT EPISODE THO, seriously. People. Are. Not. Ready.

Byakuya's bankai finally has a competitor for being the most beautiful. Nice to Rukia her come such a long way since the start. I'm not a fan of the ending music being put over Rukia's bankai but it's alright.

Aw, man. BG9 died. That sucks. I wanted to see him more in action. I like the color of his blood. It doesn't look disgusting compared to red. Haha!

What Nodt said about those who are not able to provide reasons for wanting to live can provide reasons for not wanting to die, is so relatable. Instinct and fear are what's keeping me alive at this point, how I wish to sleep and never wake up someday. I want to die with the least amount of pain and effort!

Tatar Foras form looks badass! Is his death paying homage to Call of Duty Advanced Warfare?
I like Rukia's Bankai outfit. She looks pretty in it.
It kind of sucks that Rukia's Bankai is so difficult to use and has fatal drawbacks.

looks like rukia has finally gained her big bro's approval, well, he already acknowledged her, but as far as she was concerned, he hasn't yet, so this was a nice episode. but looks like their next opponent is gonna be a tough one. i wonder if ichigo will show up for this one coz byakuya showed up to lend rukia a hand.

Best episode of part 2 so far. Matsuoka gave an A+ performance going full evil Kirito there. And of course, both of the Kuchiki siblings outdid themselves. I got goosebumps when Rukia unleashed her bankai. Its form is absolutely stunning and takes "Cool Beauty" to a whole new level.

Öncelikle kıyafetler, 72 katmanlı bariyer içinmiş. Güzel bilgi ahaha.
Öldürülenlerin gücü, hatıraları ve her şeyi Yhwach'a geçiyor olayı çok korkunç. Bu saldırıların temelinde, Soul Soceity'i askeri gücüyle yenip, ölenlerin güçleriyle iyice güçlenip Ruh Kralına çıkmak sanırım. Şuan için her ölenden aldığı güç bile korkunç ve daha birçok adamı da var...

Äs Nödt, şuana kadar ki en iyi S.R olabilir. Bazz B ve gücünü görmediklerimiz de var ama şuan için diyelim. Hem alt metin/hikaye, hem güç, hem de görsel olarak tatmin edici ve izlemesi keyifli. "Yaşamak için nedeni olmayanlar bile, ölmemek için neden sayabilir." gibi muhteşem bir söz ile de karakterin derinliğini ve korku temasının işlenişini anlıyoruz. Gücü korku olan karakterin dile getirdiği tek korkunun "Yhwach'ın ona kızması" olması da, baş düşmanın ne denli korkutucu ve güçlü olduğunu bize tekrar gösteriyor bir yandan...
Äs Nödt'ün Tatar Foras formu ve oradan sonraki sahneler de bir hayli iyi yapılmış, ürkünç ve etkileyiciydi.

Byakuya yine harika giriş. Cool abi bu herif, asalet ya adam. Kendini saldırılardan koruduğu sahnede Bankai miktarı gibi görünse de, sadece Shikai olması bunun... Çok fena geliyor çok.
Mutlak Sıfır sahnesi çok güzeldi. Dereceleri ayarlaması, yavaş yavaş arttırıp, aynı şekilde düşürmesi de güzel detaylar.
Gel gelelim uzun zamandır beklediğimiz Rukia ve en güzel Zanpaktou olduğu iddia edilen Sode no Shirayuki Bankai formuna. "Hakka No Togame" İNANILMAZ GÖRÜNÜYOR öncelikle. Çok kısa bir sahneydi ama çok etkileyiciydi. Bütün etrafın anında donması ve tek saldırıyla bitirmesi... Özellike yüzü, gözleri saçı ve değişen her şeyiyle Rukia'nın bankai formunun güzelliği gerçekten bambaşkaydı... Byakuya'nın müdahale etmesini gerektirecek kadar zor bir Bankai ama. Kontrolsüz bir hareket, kullanıcısını da anında öldürebilir. Tehlikeli.

Byakuya anime boyunca 2 kez Rukia'yı ciddi şekilde övdü, 2'si de bu bölümde. Birisi "güçlenmişsin" bir diğeri "mükemmel bir Bankai'ydi" O her övdüğünde Rukia daha da güçlenecek. İkisi arasında ki bu ilişkiyi çok seviyorum. Ayrıca elini tutup formundan dönerken yardımcı olması ve sonrasında "Soul Society'i Koruyalım" demesi falan... Çok güzel bölümdü.

Rukia is the GOAT, I swear, such a good character and great to root for. Byakuya talking to her as she undid her bankai, almost made me cry, ngl. The quincy was...fine, his transforming was a bit odd but who cares GOAT Rukia is here.

also, great character writing that Rukia is still deeply insecure about her brothers opinion on her. We know he has changed and has pride but we also know he doesn't show it, except for here when he does to alleviate her fear.

I like how they added in the quotes from the manga for this arc, that was a fun part of reading it. Ichigoat is coming I am so ready to see him fight with this new discovered ability! Seeing how far Rukia and Byakukas relationship has come is so heartwarming, and seeing her new transformation was gorgeous I was jaw dropped.
