| Yoruichi proves again why she's a baass. Episode finale felt like a finale as I had expected to be with action, some mixed humor, and the emotional content. I did get a little emotional seeing Ichigo and Uryu's conversation during their time in the real world again. Their friendship is unique since they've first met imo. What a season, Bleach delivers again. Askin's commentary was priceless. Give the VA a raise. |
 |
| Straight action in this episode, and I can NOT complain. I mean, HELL THE VISARDS SHOWED UP HELLO??? I mean, it was enough nostalgia seeing Ichigo's sisters, but this is just another level of nostalgia. EVEN MOREEEE nostalgic, WE BACK AT THE OG SCHOOL??? With the classic school fits they used to be rocking around and everything. Kinda fitting that they'd end this "conflict" part of the arc with another confrontation with Ichigo and Uryu.... well, not exactly. Uryu is kind of a.. good guy now again??? I mean, sure man, whatever will take down this backstabber Jugram. But yeah, we're really in the endgame of the TYBW now. Ihcigo and the gang are AGAIN on their way to take down Yhwach.. FOR REAL this time xD Gotta give PIERROT props where props are due, they didn't fuck around in the hiatus they took. This was, if not, ABOVE cour one level. Bravo. Couldn't be more excited for this last cour, especially with the amount of anime original content we'll have, as if this cour didn't have a lot already. |
 |
| I mean it was super obvious, Uryu wasn’t really on the bad guy’s side since the start. There’s still too much to do there, and we’ll see all of it as well in due time but yeah, the bottomline remains the same, it took really long for Ichigo to realise something so obvious lol. I liked that bit of backstory as well from Uryu’s POV. I mean he had his reasons, so it makes sense. Haschwalth playing the basic bad guy is getting a bit boring tbh, I mean we already have Yhwach right? I know he’s playing his part but still. Anyway, good to see some old characters back. Though hey, the shounen stuff where the fathers make their entries in the end finally happened here as well. Isshin and Uryu’s father are here as well lol. I think they wanted the build-up for the final cour done right so yeah, instead of just following a particular bunch we had pretty much all the active players get their screen time here. Feels right as well tbh. Though yeah, in the name of finale being 1 hour long it was simply some 45 odd mins long lol. I mean we were supposed to get two FULL episodes lol. Suuuuuper long ED for the finale, and yeah the comic segment with Askin as well. I didn't quite got the name but yeah, they really wanted to end the episode with Ichigo and co., and others trying to reach where Yhwach is. Man has grilled his own people tho xD Can't believe we're just one cour away from the ending now. Whenver it comes. Though yeah, this was just as good as the first cour for me. Can't fucking wait for the last bunch of episodes. |

| I thought it was just going to be an edited Op with the cast but they actually played the whole song and the synergy of the two looks so darn cool! Full ver. with the ED too, both were great tracks so fully welcomed. Jojo popularised the inclusion of sound effects, and I'm sure we'll be seeing this type more in the near future. At least for next cour's finale, if not something even better planned by the wonderful folks over at Pierrot & Pierrot Films. Haschwalth with the Almighty suspecting Ishida with something - does that mean Yhwach did not see this which suggests greater affinity? I could be completely wrong here but that's kind of my one random takes. Daytime and nighttime switching, that's pretty complicated. Renji is back to action, of course Ishida didn't completely finish him off earlier. Byakuya-taichou and Renji's got to back to defeating a powered up Gerard, that doesn't sound pleasant. Is it just me or that one scene of his POV remind anyone of SnK S1? Most importantly, I'm just way too excited to see Yoruichi in action xD. It's been so freakin' long since we've seen her fight and the manga fans teasing with the panel shots all over twitter got me hyped up for sure. Her interactions with his brother was gold and I forgot he can throw a decent punch too. And Rangiku is back too! Well, briefly. Seems like those capsules from Kurotsuchi-taichou did the trick perfectly. Looking forward to Hitsugaya-taichou coming back to action soon! And finally, we got to see Ishida's motivation. Albeit during the rematch with Ichigo. Usual bickering between the two but it's nice to finally see them on the same side. We'll have to wait a bit longer for their tag team battles. Yhwach is nowhere near done, as expected. Pretty disappointing showing from the Sternritter members that changed sides. Anyways, Ichigo and Ishida's father in the scene too! Pretty cool transition to the final few moments and the ED, they're really killing it this arc! Solid 8/10, and I can't wait for the final bit. Don't forget to check out the Quincy Daten in the end, btw. Especially a plus for fans of Askin. Full Op & ED ver. coming soon on YT: https://x.com/bleachanimation/status/1873032787537838182 |

| Absolute cinema. Thank you Kubo and Pierrot for creating this masterpiece. |
 |
| -Who are you? -A dead man. You know what, I'm one of those people that think Byakuya and Kira were supposed to be really dead but Kubo changed his plans along the way and decided to bring them back which is a bit of a bummer to me, but tbh had Kira not showed up again, then we wouldn't have this scene which is one of my favorites manga panels from this arc.  |
| euh it was too short, i want more we have to wait for the final part... |

| I wouldn't mind getting thigh choked by Yoruichi at all. Ishida reveal, surprise. Cool action again but short. Ichigo's going to fight Yhwach and there being another full cour left, tells how how long it'll take to take him down. This cour felt worse than the second cour which was worse than the first cour. The more deep we go into the final arc of the manga the worse it gets in terms of everything. The anime has elevated it but still having a weaker material to work on has it's limits. I'm atleast enjoying this more than I remember the manga which pretty much felt annoying at that point. Still this season had it's moments with Mayuri and Shunsui episodes. Just one final cour to go till we say bleach goodbye. |
 |
| Ishida is finally on our side after all this time and looks like Ichigo is assigned for the time being to defeat Yhwach while his powers are swapped. The dads are also here and we got to see some backstory as well. That transition was smooth AF to the ending. Can't wait for the next and final season. Pretty good season. We are fighting hard against all the odds. Yoruichi. So pretty!!! Rangiku as well, the little we saw of her. |

| ishida wants to kill yhwach all along he did not betray his friends yoruichi my beloved also they wasted 5 minutes in the end for askin damn |

MegamiRem said: This cour felt worse than the second cour which was worse than the first cour. I take it as a biased opinion because this statement is so wrong on so many fronts. You can't say that cour 3 had worse animation than the 1st or 2nd part. You also can't say that the story was worse than in the 2nd part. The 2nd part is and will remain the worst of this adaptation. It focused mostly on fights, which the 1st and 3rd parts handled much better and added more depth. MegamiRem said: Just one final cour to go till we say bleach goodbye. This one is also wrong. Ever heard of novels and hell arc? |

| Uriyu's granpa, writing some truth bombs. Everyone important is "resurrecting" some in better shape than others. See the whole Visored gang together again. Absolute Cinema. |

| @MegamiRem sorry bro, but this cour was superior to cour 2 in every aspect, cour 2 adapted the worst part of the arc and the fact that the staff had just 6 months to work on it didn't really help. This one had Renji vs Uryuu which in terms of animation/sakuga is the second best until now (still think episode 6 is better, sure), it also had way more substance and character development in fights such as the Mayuri and Nemu one, it had the young Ukitake and Shunsui flashback, the Bazz-B flashback, Aizen comeback... that alone makes it better than cour 2, and now we got titan Gerard which is NOT CGI as everyone was expecting after Komamura bankai from cour 2. Of course cour 1 is hard to beat, not just because of the Yama vs "Yhwach" episode, but because of the Everything but the Rain flashback which is absolutely beautiful and feels like a movie or romance/shoujo manga, Zaraki vs Unohana and The Blade Is Me were also peak. But hopefully cour 4 will give us a much better end to this arc than it had in the manga, Kubo even said recently that cour 4 is having full anime original episodes with expanded content. I agree that cour 1 is the best since it adapted the best parts from the TYBW tho. |
| That transition into the ED song was smooth af. What a season, it's amazing how much improvement there was between the previous cour and this one. Pretty much every episode was a banger, and even if you pick an episode from this part to dub as the "worst" episode, chances are it was probably still really good. Everything was on point here in cour 3, we couldn't have asked for a better adaptation. I'm so excited for the final part, I can't wait to see what the staff gives us, especially with even more involvement from Kubo and him promising full episodes of anime-original content. |
| 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. |
| Man this was amazing. Gonna miss bleach saturdays 😭😭 |
| And again the soundtrack SLAYS, and hell, the face closeups alone are all A+, not to even mention the rest of it. Throughout pretty much the entirety of TYBW, just... rather carefully seasoned with damn near everything, from absolute silly to actual tragedy, while keeping the prime beef that is action going (for the most part anyway). Incredible what they've been able to craft here, really feels like a labour of love. That five minutes at the end. That was cringe 😅 but then especially with the timer, I wonder if it was meant to be that self-aware. The gimmick is a thing, sure, I just feel like there are better ways to do it. Ah well, no harm, no foul, really. |
| Man rewatching bleach and seeing the funny skits at the end of each episode made me miss them and I'm glad they brought it back but instead its a QUINCY VERSION lol. |
| I find it funny how this last episode was supposed to make up for cour 2's final episode's time wasted then they do the same thing here as well as the fact they they wanted to cut down comedic moments but chose to make the last 5 minutes a big comedic attempt. I thought we were going to get at least a bit of uryu vs. hashbrown but we couldnt even get that. |
 |
quincy cross kek Juha Bach is a dick just like Aizen-sama  |
| I felt like the finale was going strong and then they had to ruin it. Not the strongest for sure. |
 |
| Horrible after the endind!!! Well, waiting the next season!!! kekeke |
| I mean... Yey! Kira!!! |
| Full cameo finale. These last 2 episodes were great, along with the full season, off course. Now comes the wait for the final part. |
| As I expected, They saved the best moments for the last cour. This was an amazing cour, But the final one will be legendary. The care and dedication given to this Bleach adaptation is nothing short of phenomenal. 9/10 :) |
 |
| Not too surprising at the shortened last episode. It feels like they didn't want it to end abruptly and lead it into the final cour, so they decided to fill the rest of the episode with Askin. We did actually learn a little from his rambling so it was entertaining at least lol. Now we wait until the final cour premieres. I'm excited for all the things they're going to add. This is really where the manga is all over the place because of Kubo being pushed to finish (among other things), so I wouldn't be surprised if 40% or more of the cour is new or extended parts. |
 |
| THE VISORED HELLOOOOOOOO WHATTTTT I didn't expect that at all. Ishida's flashback looked like Everything But The Rain but from another view, PIERROT KEEP COOKING WITH COUR 4. Cannot wait, love you Kuboooooooooo |
| The transition to the ED was so smooth I can't even complain we have to wait for another season lol |
 |
| Damn there really isn't that much left so I wonder what anime original content will fill up the final season. |
