Don't get me wrong, i've been fan of Bleach for 15+ year but basically every TYBW Bleach fight just goes like this:

-Character A start doing some crazy combo on B, B has a surprised Pikachu face during the combo
-Character A finishes the combo with a big explosion, thinks he won
-Character B either appears behind A back or just get up and basically say "you thought this was all what i got?", A does a surprised Pikachu face
-Character B start his revenge combo on A, A keeps the surprised Pikachu face
-Character B finishes the combo with a big final explosion, thinks he won
-Character A either appears behind B back or just get up and basically say "you also thought this was all what i got?", B surprised Pikachu face
-Character A starts his revenge combo with a big final explosion, B with a surprised Pikachu face, but this time A wons

And don't forget, during the fight characters would be constantly shit talking about how they're more powerful than the other. I wish Kubo could write something different in fights (and i know this is a original but Kubo is heavily involved with the anime), but i guess, put some good animation on it and no one even notices lol
@Shinuki_n_Reborn If this is what you took away from a well-choreographed fight like this then you're severely media illiterate. The stuff you said about the dialogue is also categorically false and once again reeks of media illiteracy, and everything else is a non-issue hence why people are celebrating this fight. That notoriously trite "A-->B-->A" shounentard argument that low IQs make about Bleach fights is a non-issue anyway because Bleach has good dialogue and power designs connected to characterization that keep the fights engaging. Imagine being a Bleach fan of 15+ years and falling for that meme talking point. No idea why you're trying to shoehorn such a braindead narrative into Renji vs Uryu; no one gives a shit because you need to ignore all the things that make this fight great such as the choreography, camera work, animation and total new content; then break the fight down to its most bare bones and then dubiously try and fit it into said narrative--which is why I can't even call it a nitpick, it reads more like a grasp at straws.

Ngl, I felt the same. To me, something is just missing when you compare TYBW with the og Bleach. Plus, quite a lot of people shat on og Bleach but for some reason everyone now is praising TYBW. Don't get me wrong, it's good but not THAT good/peak/insane or whatever people keep calling it imho.

@GTRaijin OG Bleach was a middling adaptation of a great manga and its pacing and fillers after Soul Society did no favors for the series' reputation. In contrast, TYBW elevates the source material with the mangaka as its general supervisor. One is just an objectively superior project that better represents Kubo's vision.

@GTRaijin
I agree that most of TYBW fight are like this, a battle of "no u" and who have the biggest Hax, but for this fight I don't understand or Uryu vs Ichigo.
It's pure fighting with choregraphy, no Hax and back and forth on equal ground.

Amazing to see some more abilities from Renji's bankai and Uryu's Vollsterndich.

Seeing Renji fighting with Quincy King, Ishida Uryu, was something extremely intense. I think in the bottom of Renji’s heart, his true desire was not to kill him completely, but Ishida was superior.

Ichigo and Grimmjow are making a great team together and the battle with Yhwach is coming.

I am so impressed about animation, character design and story development. All of them are so well-defined, the hard work can be observed in this new season.

Got to say Renji had a good fight, Ishida obviously wasn't going all out, people who read the manga know, but still despite how much the community makes fun of Renji, this time everyone needs to agree he did his best. Zaraki and Mayuri interactions are rare but we def need more of them, also Grimmjow chasing Askin is just hilarious

Lol, the original Bleach adaptation is an absolute disgrace. Completely ruined everything that was perfect about the source material. TYBW has stuck true to the manga with inclusions from Tite Kubo himself. It is arguably the greatest anime war arc adaptation ever. If you don’t see that, then it’s all on you lmfao.

@kiss44 Wouldn't say it was that bad. The original anime was able to visualize a lot of moments from the manga very well. Hisagi vs Findorr as an example is visually amazing to watch. Ginjo vs Ichigo was beautifully animated too. Let's not forget the anime deciding to have Aizen stop Ichigo's theme song which became one of the most iconic moment in shonen.

The fillers ruined the anime and them trying to use filler characters within the canon continuity like those three bount plushies who's name I forgot still being somewhat relevant during the start of the arrancar arc. But even the filler arcs had some amazing animations sometimes.

For its time, the anime wasn't that bad except the horrendously timed filler arcs within the canon continuinity.

@Shinuki_n_Reborn You just described a lot of shonen anime. It's difficult to make decisions that might upset the reader or viewer. You gotta realize that Japan is notorious for attacking manga writers, or anyone in general.

Okay episode. I must say I progressively get less and less thrill out of these fights and the abilities used. Crazy power spikes, explosions, the same Quincy abilities - quite the repetitive formula. "Gottcha" "No, I gottcha" but "Haha, I double-gottcha" then someoneelse joins the fight and takes revenge for whomever. And who could have foreseen Renji loosing like he always does. At least his updated Bankai rocked in terms of aesthetics.

The homefield advantage was not as drastic as they talked it up tobe. Ishida using spirit particles as a booost is sth. that could have also happened in Seiretei. I am really hopeful we see sth. even more impressive.

Every bit of dialogue and interaction between characters as with Kurotsuchi and Zaraki this episode was very entertaining though. The fact that the shinigami invaded and Shunsui didn't pay attention where his two aces were is hilarious. Good thing Kurotsuchi is in the mood to gather some reasearch samples and Zaraki was quick to jump to action. Askin Nakk doing his thing was also funny to watch - semi-serious as per usual and mostly lookin to stayin alive. He's got my sympathy with everybody else here being eager to fight to the death.

Askin is one funny and cheeky fellow. Grimmjow has never learned of his recklessness.

The Uryu and Renji fight was super well done. Even though Renji lost, he shined in a few moments in that fight.

@Gator Not lucky, if you've read the manga Ishida just has a more relevant role in the future of the series, so Renji's defeat here was mandatory.

Still it was a good fight, I like how they managed to make they fight with new powers rather than just use techniques etc we already know, which is a typical filler thing. Renji 'easily' defeated Mask with his new Bankai, Ishida is a Shuzstaffel so superior to Mask, it would've been bad to see the same match. It really seem Tite Kubo is behind this re-writing sort-of - of the show, can't wait to see more.
Next episode seems to be Ken-chan + Mayuri which was super cool in the manga, same for Urahara and Shunsui.

I hope they will manage well the fight of Byakuya VS Gerald and the various fights again Haschwalt, which were kind of 'skipped' in the manga.


4/5 episode to me, maybe the best of this 3rd 1000y season so far. The only thing I didn't liked much was the goofy race of Grimmjow etc, not a fan of this NERD-humor, goofiness in Bleach was cool in older chapters and specific situations to me, as a Inoue doing naive stuff or Rukia teasing Ichigo etc.

I think this new season is finally becoming interesting, it happened the same with 2nd one and maybe 1st, boring episodes them a good second half.

@Yasminaa I can't respond to your dm or comment on your profile

Hey, I’m sorry if it’s seemed like I was ghosting you. I should’ve told you I’ve been busy and haven’t had much time to get back to you. I apologize about the miscommunication. There’s a lot going on in my life and I don’t have much free time. I was in Mexico costing my family I haven’t seen in over 15 years, I get pretty bad seasonal depression. The recent US election has made me extremely stressed and with the addition of climate change hasn’t helped. My partner has been unemployed since he graduated with his masters in May so I’ve been overworking myself. But again, I’m sorry I haven’t done a good job at communicating. If you no longer want to be friends due to my bad communication I understand. I wish you the best <3
