As someone who has been watching bleach since 2004, and seeing how much the animation and the art has improved, it somewhat makes me so proud of how far this Anime has come.
As someone who has already read the manga, this specific episode might have filled a little bit quicker pacing, but all in all it was good to see more of Jushiro & Shinsui

In a series of Deus ex Machinas, another Deus Ex Machina reveals itself in favor of Ichigo, and Soul Society. I did not see that coming. Still, right now, it appears to be a temporary solution.

The reveal... Ukitake was supposed to die but thanks to Mimihagi's commandment of 'stillness' he managed to survive all these years with his illness intact. Even then, he managed to push through for hundreds of years even becoming a respected captain. Incredible. Even more so for the fact that he has resolved himself to be a temporary crutch in Soul King's place at the moment when Yhwach manages to kill the Soul King off.

Now that the universe is stabilized. they just need someone with a transcendental level of spiritual pressure to advance their next plan, here comes the one and only...
SOSUKE AIZEN
The absolute GOAT himself, the man who almost took down all of Soul Society and lorded over Hueco Mundo, the one who rejects the pathetic fate of Soul King as a Divide battery and aspires to raise beyond him.

Imagine being this revered, feared and powerful that even removing his mouth, left eye and both ankles alone is enough for him to potentially kill Shunshui. If it had not been for the key to be within his heart, Aizen might have escaped as well. Now then, let Aizen come to battle once more!

Very interesting to see Ukitake's backstory and his connection to Mimihagi. Now it makes sense why he was given a second chance. Pretty good episode. So far not a single episode was disappointing.

@kiss44 No, I am implying no such thing. I am saying that this is the first time a Deus Ex Machina actually worked in favor of Ichigo and company. So far, the Deus Ex has worked mostly in favor of his adversaries.

Always did find the whole thing with Ukitake and Mimihagi interesting, but when the most explanation we got out of it was just Ukitake briefly explaining how and why he got it, it seemed like nothing more than an asspull, but now with this backstory, it does fill in the missing pieces in the puzzle that we were missing all so long ago. And don't get it mistaken, this isn't just one piece getting filled in, it's like half the fucking puzzle because legit the ENTIRE first half was just Ukitake backstory lmao.

Got to learn how Ukitake and Shunsui met and such, legit if it wasn't for Shinsui eating those sweets in sparing class or whatever, I don't think they wouldn't have been this close lmao. But yeah, then we get to them when they're captains, and central 46 is just annoying the fuck out of him saying that he needs a lieutenant when they KNOW that his previous one died because of his illness... like hello??? Obviously, he did end up getting one, in the form of Rukia, but jeez.

Back to the present with Ichigo and the gang seeing Mimihagi do his thing and keep Reio alive, though only for a while before this dude Ukitake is gonna die. Shunsui already one step ahead of them and went to the GOAT himself, SOSUKE FUCKING AIZEN.

So many years later and dude still has so much aura, like the dude took off ALL his seals after Shinsui took only ONE OFF... LOL.
@IzanaSolos
Aizen will always be one of greatest vilain EVER (my favourite👑forever)😁😍🙏!
And about aura,his a lot away the others vilains.
And,not forgot to mention is 🙏PEAK🗿Seiyuu🤧!
Aizen's voice easily Top10 best in term of VA's perfomance in all fictions.
Such a charisma that will never reappeaer on screen🙇‍♂️.

I don't know why this site hates bleach 😂 is it that the creator of this site is a one piece fan? I don't see any reason for them saying bleach is the most dropped anime, and there top one anime in there list is frieren, the first time I recommended frieren to my friends they said it was boring if they wanted to rate this properly it should be
1.Attack on titan
2.one piece
3.bleach
4.naruto
5.fma
This is a stupid site

This was a great way to flesh Ukitake's character out. Ukitake coughing blood on Shunsui while sparring was a little funny but otherwise I really liked the episode.

Aizen is back.

Orihime thought she can revive Soul King LoL, if she was able to do that she would have been more impressive than the Soul King, who is basically God.

Finally, Jūshirō Ukitake did something important. Also the bromance flashback between him and Shunsui Kyōraku.

@GreatCarerJack Depending on how close to the source material they decide keep all of the upcoming fights, there will be even more back-and-forth involving some bullshit powers/abilities. This is very characteristic of Bleach fights in the later story arcs, but towards the end it really does become ridiculous. I think you should be able to enjoy this type of content just fine though since you seem to like Jojo.

Ok last two episodes were like 8-9/10, but this was one 10/10. Idek where to begin. The lore, the emotions, the sounds and soundtrack were all on point. And Chair-Sama’s pure aura. Amazing episode.

Mimihagi has been foreshadowed since the Soul Society arc. The character is importantly and integral to the story, especially since the anime has been setting it up throughout the past season(s) of TYBW.

As for the back-and-forth trope, it’s what Bleach does best. Not only did it popularize it, but you can also argue that it created such a trope.

they mentioned his sickness, not the fact he was "cured" of it as a child (but not really cured i guess) or even mentioned anything to do with his goal of sacrificing himself to mimihagi, kinda a stretch especially seeing as how kubo described his idea process multiple times as "making loose threads to make it easier to come up with ideas for later"

yeah i do like bleach, i just think that after setting stakes really well by killing off so many characters the idea of that pretty much going away, it sucks. kinda ruins orihime in retrospect too since undoing an enemys attack was her unique ability

@GreatCarerJack Orihime had this issue in the Arrancar arc too. She had trouble rejecting Ulquiorra's left over reiatsu when it was still lingering and as a result she couldnt reject it during the secunda etapa fight. In Bleach, no ability is absolute and have some weaknesses, especially depending on how much reiatsu is being used in the attack or ability to harm someone(Ichigo failing to cut Zaraki in SS arc, Orihime failing to heal Ichigo, Soi Fon failing to kill Aizen with the two hit certain kill shikai, etc).

Regarding Mimihagi, the entity was kinda random for as far as I can recall, but the ability that kept Ukitake alive was not. He has been sick for so long, yet his sickness didn't seem to improve or worsen. So the ability that basically put Ukitake's health in stasis is not random. Something very powerful was definitely involved with keeping Ukitake's health "in check" if kido healing was not an option and as a result it isn't that farfetched with Mimihagi to me. Ukitake preparing to use Mimihagi was also shown in the manga and anime before this event happen a while ago, so I personally don't think it's that crazy regarding Mimihagi's reveal. Or atleast the "undoing" the SK being cut part. Ukitake using that ability that has kept him alive all this time to stop the SK from being killed or calling out that entity that saved him would all lead to a similiar conclusion. Mimihagi simply just got created for two reasons during this reveal. The entity that saved Ukitake wasn't just some random powerful entity and it revealed the existence of another hand(and ofcourse it goes back to the Aizen line he revealed to Ukitake when Aizen left SS to HM).

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War isn't just a return to form, it's a complete anime renaissance. From the first moments, you're immersed in a world of breathtaking animation. The fight choreography is fluid and impactful, showcasing the power of each character with stunning visual effects that truly elevate the experience.
