@Tuliharja Wonderful breakdown! You really understood what was being shown and articulated it well!
I would love to think that Urahara's not been putting up a front, but is rather just exhausted. He's been working nonstop for quite a while now, going from Hueco Mundo, back to the Sereitei and now to the Soul King's palace!
And I agree that current Aizen, despite all his pomp and implied threat, is probably just depressed. And I don't blame him, lol. All those years of planning only to end up in a prison.πͺ

That could very well be the case with Urahara -he has been working nonstop, and we'll see him returning to action later. (I won't give any spoilers, since this is an anime-only discussion, but if you've read the manga, you'll know what I mean.) So, it could be that at the moment he is trying to recharge himself in what little ways he can. Exactly. xD ^^' |

| @Tuliharja Yes I was following the manga weekly back then! I even have the notification emails for their releases that I still go back to check whenever I'm feeling nostalgic. I'll never forget how hyped I was when Aizen Kuro-Hitsugi'd all over the place. But this adaptation feels surprisingly fresh so I do like to talk about it without referring to the manga. :D |

| @_Banky Oooh, nice! ^^ I agree with this. This is a good example of how adapting from manga to anime should look like: have enough manga content, but also enough anime-only content to feel like something a bit more. Otherwise, it might start to feel like non-moving pictures are just being animated down to the letter which won't really give anything...but there will always be those moments that could use a bit more animation to feel like those have come to life! Which TYBW is doing so far very well~. |

| @Tuliharja You're spot on, once again. Although TYBW's ratings are inflated, (thanks to people like me) it truly deserves all the hype and attention. Each cour has been a treat, to both anime onlys and manga readers alike. The decade wait for an adaptation was most certainly worth it. |

| @_Banky Thank you. ^^ You too are spot on that: each cour has truly been a treat and it was worth waiting all these years! Bleach fans are truly eating sooo well~. |

| What a banger of an episode! First started with the GOAT Aizen flexing his powers by crushing those eyeball monsters with his Reiatsu and a Hado 90: Kurohitsugi (with no incantation), and ended with Ichigo's reunion with Grimmjow. Honestly this episode was one big reunion with Hiyori and the other Visoreds joining the fight, Kyoraku's motivational speech when hope seemed lost, and Kon lightening up the mood for Ichigo. |
 |
| Aizen power is incredible even after getting locked for a long time. Now they are fighting together to fight Yhwatch! Can't wait to see the battle! |

| Oh my god, the return of both of the legends! Oh how i wish Ulquiorra would be with us too. Oh how i wish Aizen would just bust outta that chair and wreck havoc upon the Quicies. Oh how excited i am for the upcoming episodes, I'm so tuned!!! |
Dan_ALves said: I wonder how Grimmjow is alive, but damn it's so cool to see him again. The gang is back and they're pissed. Let's go!! I was lurking through there and here is the answer: In the Arrancar Saga, Grimmjow has been defeated by Ichigo and he has put him gently to the ground to lay down, [than filler happened] after that Ressureccion of Grimmjow has disappeared and he was in his base form. Grimmjow has stood up and launched a final charge but he was struck by Nnoitra being left seriously injured. When Nnoitra wanted to finish him off, Ichigo saved his life, well later Ichigo got beaten by Tesla and Nnoitra but that's how Grimmjow survived to this day. Here the scene if you're better with watching the clip than reading through my harsh style of writing: |
| aizen is fucking awesome !! really good opening to show him !! |
| Love this family reunion haha. The aura Aizen has is just insane. And Grimmjow is here after a decade!! Every week I’m so hyped. Also I noticed a tiny bit of the old bleach comedy and I really missed that. |
  |
| It's rather crazy how both Aizen and Grimmjow effortlessly steal every scene they are in, even in an episode this well-rounded for the shinigami cast in general. Bazz B scene was done the justice I was hoping for as well, so I'm very happy with the results. Love that the little Kon sequence still was included in one way or another very wholesomely as well. Kudos for the anime staff yet another week. This was great, and might be my favorite of this already solid season so far. And that's exciting, considering the awesome fights are yet to come, as well as that one flashback we all love. An easy, exciting 5/5. |
 |
| Another good plot episode! The GOAT is back. Lord Aizen! Love how many people are involved. |
| For me this is the best episode so far, I felt good watching it, it was great to see all the other characters again and Aizen... I love this guy. 5/5 |
| Shunsui taking over as captain is really cool, I think he handles the role well. They gave Aizen a total glow-up he did not look like that I guess he was able to rebuild his skin barrier down there. Orihime is goated as always and Uryu I saw you sweating at the sight of destruction so I have hope something big will happen between him and Ichigo soon. The Grimmjow reveal was honestly hype and I feel like Ichigo and him match each other’s energy so well, if they would just get along. |
