| was this the episode they said ufotable helped work on or something? cause it certainly didn't seem like it and didn't live up to the hype. it was still the best for this cours standards but nowhere near as good as the yamamoto fight from part 1, not even close. sakuga was lacking but always satisfying to see big ass blades. zaraki still being a badass though and good to see yachiru take part in some of the action as well. the osts were very solid too. sternritter V wasn't anything special though despite his ability, zaraki deserves a more badass opponent. maybe a 6.5 or 7/10 episode, good but overhyped. |

THE_BigDingus said: The anime won't give you an answer to what happened to Yachiru.What was the Yachiru stuff supposed to be? I enjoyed the episode, but man it felt fast. I have no idea how some comments are saying it was "drawn out" or slow. I can tell they were trying to connect the Yachiru stuff, but it felt way too disjointed & quick the way everything progressed. When Kenpachi is jumping to slice the meteor & they show a quick flashback of him meeting Yachiru, it's like they wanted that to mean something, but since we had no previous context it just felt random af. I haven't read the manga, so I'm guessing this is to imply she's connected to his Zanpakto (maybe she's the bankai? I dunno...), but for anime-only viewers, her stuff in the beginning was so quick, then they just moved on from her entirely until that 10 second flashback in the middle of the action. Also, I don't remember ever seeing her powers before (the 2 creatures/"copycats"), I probably just forgot since it had been so long. But because that was so quickly shown, then defeated by "cookie bones," it was kind of disappointing. So here are spoilers if you would like to know: |

ShamankinguYoh said: Wow. Even the animation was underwhelming here, not to mention the ridiculously rushed pacing. Didn’t people say this was where the staff was going to pop off? 7 episodes and I’m still waiting. Not that good animation could save such awful storytelling and character writing, but at least it would give non hyper obsessed viewers something to enjoy. This. Like, the animation was decent but nothing really stood out, well maybe the typically bad CGI that they used, but that's become a staple of this series... This whole fight in the manga underwhelmed me since it was basically Kenpachi surviving via plot armor and a Shikai whose ability wasn't explained other than it being a huge ass weapon. Also the way Gremmy lost always left a bitter taste in my mouth. I thought the anime would handle this fight much better; I certainly didn't think they'd botch it by cramming the whole thing into a single episode and rushing the hell out of it though. :/ THE_BigDingus said: Also, I don't remember ever seeing her powers before (the 2 creatures/"copycats"), I probably just forgot since it had been so long. That's because she had never fought using her zanpakuto before. The fact that she finally got a fight only for it to be super rushed in the anime and for her to then disappear at the end is what hurts the most. |

Hmm, I understand your frustration but I feel like you know major spoilers related to Zaraki's zanpakutou and was expecting them to happen within this episode. The Yachiru appearances here are just a hint for something bigger, even in the manga, it's suppposed to feel "random", unless you already know something more... She's VERY important in a future battle against , this is the point when it definitely needs more context and explanation to viewers, but we're talking like cour 4, y'all neeed to chill. |

| Man, this episode combat is hype as hell. Cutting meteor is always such a big flex moment in power shonen anime series lolz I thought Bleach would go downhill after season 1 , but this just keep getting better and better. This might as well be some of the best adaptation a shonen series could ever imagine. The pacing is perfect too, with each foe going down in 1 to 2 episodes The studio also doesn't use the "slow motion + monologue" techinique a lot of bad shonen manga adaptation does. Each fight use speed dynamic/ camera angle to showcase how fast/ intense the whole battle is. This is way better than Demon Slayer against Upper Moons because I dont feel the dragged on plotline/ boring monologues and long flashback to interrupt the combat. They just make each fight quick and concise , instead of lots of bloated dialogues/ slow motion/ standing in one spot staring each other , like Demon Slayer against Upper Moon. (Which takes 10+ episodes) |
| "One upping" somebody when they're fighting, in all of anime, Kenpachi's use of it has to be the most entertaining I've seen. |
| Peak Fiction = Bleach = Kenpachi |
| That was one good looking episode! Bleach being cool asf again! Nozarashi!! |
| A 10/10 episode from start to finish. Kenpachi just emanates raw awesomeness, Back to back banger episodes! |
 |
| That was a mid diff, dare I say, low diff, if there ever was one. |
So was that his shikai? Can't wait to see what his Bankai looks like./ |
This episode is as great as I always imagined it whenever I read the manga |

| Rather limited imagination. |

| Damn we only got Natsuki Hanae for one episode. ZARAKI KENPACHI IS HIM!! |
 |
| The animation looks very great! It's similar scene to Madara Uchiha in Naruto when dropping a meteorite :) Love it! Can't wait to see what's that brain used for :) |

| i know this was probably the main fight for this cour but even though it was well animated cant say i particularly liked it |
 |
| Very good episode. Definitely rushed though. They skipped many of the sternritter's reactions to the meteor, which isn't that big of a deal. But what is a big deal is the lack of backstory for Gremmy. CFYOW gave Gremmy context, context that would have greatly benefitted his character if included with his death. Oh well, still a great episode. Some of the shots were stellar. Phenomenal directing. |
