Of course low budget anime has to remake flashbacks three times instead of being creative. But the plot is one of the best so at least it wasn't a waste.

4/5

I gotta say, I enjoyed this episode more than others so far. It's certainly not the best episode of this cour but something about the masterclass in direction and animation in the last 10 mins made this my personal favorite this season

Kyoraku is appointed as the new squad 1 leader reluctantly but he is already making logical moves to protect soul society from future invasions like releasing the full potential of Zaraki Kenpachi via the first Kenpachi, Unohana. Her reveal was one ive been waiting for a while. It does not make took much sense for her to be a very overpowered being now because of her very timid demeanor before this arc but hey, im not complaining. The fact that she was one of the OG gotei squad member should be justification enough.

Ichigo & Renji duo scenes were good. They are bumping through the squad 0 levels pretty easily. There were some important info dump on how each squad zero member play an integral role in the prosperity of the soul world. Next stop is the Zanpaktou dude

The Kenpachi feud was the obvious glaring highlight of the episode with it's immaculate frame compositions and movement cutting through scenes, perfectly blending the tense ost in the background. The animation even though mostly stills, was very fluid and gorgeous. The atmosphere and ambience in the mugen also fits perfectly with the scenes being played out

I have been enjoying Bleach more recently than the weeks following it's premiere. So many revelations and sequences yet to come and with such care in direction and choreography, i'm eager to consume more

Unohana gave me chills. Insane first Kenpachi reveal. Almost as good as Hikifune's glow up.

Unohana reveal is one who actually make sense, I'm 100% sure she was planned


Yes back in Soul Society arc, in Ken's flashback he finds Yachiru and names after the person he respects most. He takes the Kenpachi name as well even though he wasn't in Gotei 13

A lot of subtle foreshadowing from Kubo that only pan out in TYBW

Some nice chill moments as we see Ichigo and Renji recovering with the members of Squad Zero, but the highlight of the episode was of course the reveal that Unohana is actually the first Kenpachi, as she and current Kenpachi clash. Next episode is gonna be a banger after getting a taste of that battle in this episode.

Also, congrats to Shunsui for getting a promotion to become the new Captain-General.
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.

Good build-up for Unohana vs Kenpachi

Kenpachi is essentially a saiyan

My dumb arse got confused with the term "Kenpachi" since I thought they were talking about Zaraki Kenpachi; the battle between Unohana and Kenpachi left me speechless 'cause I had no idea why they were even fighting. I had to look it up to understand this lmfaoooo. Overall, I love how menacing Unohana looks!

Oh my god, what a GOATed episode. This has probably been the best airing anime I've seen that's actually lived up to the hype, at least in my books. Every damn episode has been so good, I am left pondering what just happened and wanting more, so many interesting reveals and happenings right now.

Kirio goes from cute chubby mother to hot slim mommy in a matter of minutes, you got to respect Tite Kubo for that.
I have been waiting to see Unohana vs Kenpachi in the anime for so long, its so satisfying!

Of course people who have no clue about how a anime production works will use "low budget" as argument.

I thought that moronic first half meant the good times were over, but Kenny x Unohana definitely works. It's always the quiet girls you gotta' look out for.

The first part was nice, especially Kirio true hotness, but although Kenpachis fight was really great overall (damn, man... wtf those Unohana eyes...) I was expecting much more from the swordsmanship choreography itself... Some moves are really hard to tell and still has those cuts when you don't even see the swords brandishing, like that moment when Unohana attacks and Zaraki's sword appears flying...

Anyway, it was a great episode and I'm hope the next is gonna be much better.

The Kenpachi reveal. I always thought it was interesting that Unohana was "a" Kenpachi. Though, I felt the follow-through was a bit lacking.
