| The opening scene with the original 13 was glorious! edit: It tookd me a few hours to digest. I almost cried when Byakuya died. I feel widowed. He was my future ex animated husband. Now, I'm wondering if Ichi's mom wasn't Yhwach (how do they get Yuhabaha out of that?) daughter. |

| episode felt like it was 30 seconds long. it was over too soon. so is ichigo part quincy or something? |
 |
| To everyone who thinks Ichigo using Blut Vene is an "ass-pull", or makes no sense, I promise you that it will all be explained later in a satisfying way. I don't want to spoil anything, but there's more to this besides Ichigo just randomly awakening a new ability at a convenient time. It won't be brushed over. Once you have all the pieces of the puzzle, it will make sense. There are problems in the writing of this arc (which I hope the anime adaptation will correct), but trust me, this is not one of them. |
| Holy shit, this was nuts, even better than the last episode. |

-FALSE said: For anyone who hasn't realised, this is the first time we are ever shown it raining in the Soul Society in the canon epsiodes. Yamamoto's power is so insane it literally causes the atmosphere itself to have heavy weather changes. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhqhOYBWQAEgdPe?format=jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhqlMfVWQAM_DVk?format=png&name=900x900 |
| out of the near thousand anime i've seen this is by far the best adaptation of a shonen manga ever. FMAB quite simply does not come close, and I personally think this is one of the least well written arcs of a manga of all time. It's just that good. |
| bro bleach is going to be only 13 ep??? |
_Juicyyy_ said: Yoarry said: Without spoil it will have for me a good explanation and it make sense but i can understand that Ichigo be part everything can be annoying. So you read the manga and know how it all plays out. So it's a decent explanation. it's arguably the only explanation that makes sense for Ichigo's "part everything" nonsense in this manga. If they took the hollow side and fullbringer side out he would be much more fleshed out, since the shinigami and the quincy are the only ones that make practical sense considering their origins. |
| Calling this episode a perfect adaptation is an understatement, it flat out elevated the manga with stuff we've always wanted to see |

| This was yet another 10/10 episode, and maybe even better than last week, which I didn't think was possible. The animation for Ichigo vs. Yhwach was incredible, and the Quincy reveal was a crazy twist. The original 13 Squad Captains were ruthless. It was sad to hear how heartbroken Shunsui was over Yamamoto's death, you can tell how much the old man meant to him. And RIP Byakuya (if he's actually dead), I grew to like him a lot after the SS arc, and his speech to Ichigo was very touching. |

| Goddman what an episode |
| Somehow they managed to outdo their work from episode 6. Loved the anime-original scenes with the OG 13 Court Guard Squads, and overall the emotions were high in this episode. Every captain realizing Old Man Yama was defeated, and Shunsui's reaction in particular, was heartbreaking. The Ichigo/Byakuya conversation hit hard too, and we got THE panel!!!! Save the Soul Society, Ichigo Kurosaki 😭 The Ichigo-Yhwach fight was great too and a new revelation about Ichigo has now been teased by Yhwach. Too bad he took his leave but he planted the seeds that will lead to interesting questions and even more interesting answers. |
| 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. |

| This was arguably as amazing as the previous episode, maybe even better and more impactful in one way or another. Direction and animation continues to be solid and on point. The shifting to the feeling of despair and loss of hope due to the head captain Yamamoto biting the dust and Soul Society being pushed to the brink of death. The heavy atmosphere and beautifully depressing OST. I really don't know how to break this down properly at all. Ichigo's rage and frustration can be truly be felt here thanks to the endeavors of Morita's top-notch voice acting, and I wasn't expecting the really cool-looking animated sequence with Ichigo vs Yhwach. Sadly the former was running on an empty gas tank due to physically and mentally exhausting himself trying to break out of Quilge's prison. The reveal with Ichigo's awakened Quincy powers and the reference to his past mother was really nice as well and serves as a key story element going forward, and honestly doesn't feel like something inserted as some thoughtless plot device. However, the biggest part of this episode was that first few minutes of anime-original content featuring the original Gotei 13, which not even the light novels even covered, from what I was told. I really liked the monotone old film grain effect utilized here to depict it as a key historical moment for the entire story of Bleach. The new ED visuals featuring Kubo's art of them was also another great present. Such an emotionally loaded and somber episode, as well as even more added material to flesh out the story that Kubo intended, and I believe this adaptation is only gonna get better from here now out, even if it does run into some minor setbacks along the way. |

| So ichigos mom was a quicy then is he also a quicy well we see that in the next episodes. Holy that fight was so amazing and the Animation was top. Looks like Rukia and Renji are not good thats good to hear. What will now happen in the Soul Society. The moment where ichigo was in rage and the OST that was so nice and impactful. Rest in Peace Byakuya. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| I really like that they included the first gotei 13 at the first part of the episode and the War a thousand years ago. |

anime-prime said: The Soul Society really took a big loss in this first fight, but it's not as terrible as it could have been. I even made a graph. Red=Definitely dead. Orange=Injured, may or may not be dead. Green=Alive and well for all we know. With this might seem pretty even, one thing to keep in mind in Yamamoto was as strong as the other Soul Reapers combined, so him dying is a big loss. Another thing to keep in mind is that the vast majority of the no name Shinigami were taken out as well. And lastly, Yamamoto and Kenpachi did most of the work themselves, haha. please make a separate thread. It will be worthwhile to discuss on this topic |
