| Dealing with the aftermath of storm Sternritters and Yhwach left soul society with. Plentiful deaths, uncountable casualties and more so the death of captain commander Yamamoto. Can't blame even the cool headed captains getting worked up. Though it isn't just them dealing with the hardships here, Ichigo’s on the same boat with his broken Zanpakuto. Though whom to help with this ever old problem this time around? Zero division. Good to see the team of five making into the adaptation, though we already had a glance of them in the opening but still. It’s off to a brief training time in the palace of the king of souls from here on, not just for Ichigo but for Renji, Rukia and Byakuya as well. Hot Springs the first spot xD Also have to mention about some of the old faces making their return, from Kon to the Fullbringers. But most important of all, it’s official that the one who saved Urahara and the gang back in Hueco Mundo from Quilge was no one other than GRIMMJOW AKA THE SECOND BEST BOY. Suwabe Junichi’s voice is so easy to recognize lol. |
 |
| Well... the aftermath of the battle can definitely be seen in all of the Soul Society. They can't even mourn. I feel bad for them. Many are injured and I hope they'll be back on their feet soon enough. They felt so emotionally vulnerable, especially Soi fon even tho she's a captain. The Zero squad is cool honestly. Some new faces and some old familiar faces were also in this episode. Loved seeing all of them. Pretty light-hearted episode IMO which was needed after all the shit everyone went through. No Rukia fanservice... Big L. |
 |
| Shinji's personality never ceases to amuse me, even in this season. Glad to see him back again. Looks like this episode serves as the aftermath of the recent fights. Seeing Ichigo and the others all bandaged up hurts. Slower paced episode th |
 |
| Zero division finally here. Time for some training. K vs K coming up in the next couple of episodes as well. This cour is just going to get better. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| They cut out all the comedy parts from the manga... No Bodybuilder Kon, no Urahara trolling Mayuri, No Renji leek, No Rukia peach... Would have preferred to see them but whatever... They are trying to move fast to get to the action Kokorowagurasu said: The episode was pretty good, I like the introduction of the squad zero, some sort of training arc about to happen??! I need to rewatch it with subs, but i didn’t get the idea of you not being able to restore a broken bankai, I feel like we’ve seen that happen before. Also, is it just me or Shinji VA sounded different? Maybe I’m just imagining things… by the way, I never realized he spoke in such a strong Kansai accent before lol It's the same seiyuu, I mean it's being 10 years he didn't do Shinji (if you don't count games like Brave souls ). Also he's older Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| It's great to see that all of Ichigo's close soul reaper friends managed to survive the battle. There were so many great cameos this episode! From the arrancar with Urahara who looks like was probably Grimmjow, to the three dead Fullbringers with the Shiba clan alongside Kukaku Shiba mentioning their uncle (Ichigo's dad). We also got to see Kon, squad zero, and the Soul King. There appears to be a little bit of rivalry between squad zero and the 13 court guard squads. I must say, I really like their designs and their attitudes. This series needed an episode to cool down after the non-stop action, and I think this did a really good job of that. We got a lot of info in this episode and it looks like the soul society and the main characters will be able to gain enough strength in the future to at least put up a decent defense before the next invasion and not get curve-stomped. I would say my favorite parts of the episode were just seeing the captains interacting with one another. Both from squad zero vs Gotei 13 and from the vizard captains vs the non-vizard captains. The character interactions really portray a rich history and deep internal conflicts between them. |

Ladies and gentlemen, I introduce you to one of the most powerful characters in Bleach. Decent episode, after two amazing episodes full of action and important stuff happening with no time to let you breathe, it's expected to see things settle down a bit for now. |
| Okay episode... Nothing really to talk about with animation or storyboard. Cut comedy is fine. Byakuya not dying will forever be Kubo's biggest fumble. Squad 0 are cool enough. 6/10 |
 |
| The Gotei 13 and Soul Society are completely messed up while the Zero Division are hilarious. It's quite interesting contrast. |
| the Squad Zero and Soul King are finally here, great episode also there its implied that Grimmjow is the one that help Urahara, Orihime and Sado against that Jail quincy |
HE IS BACKKKKKKKkk  |
| Pretty good episode. As much as I like Byakuya I was hoping he would have been killed off. Would have been perfect last episode. Not surprised should have been expecting him to live since its bleach. |

| There is 3 big problems with this anime with 2 coming from manga itself. 1- Pacing Pacing is extremely fast, they cut too much and squeezing scenes to fit so much in one episode. There is no way non-manga readers can feel or understand anything at this point. 2- Writing Writing was always bad in Bleach because Tite Kubo is bad writer. Soul Society Arc was his best. There was no reason to Byakuya survive but he survives anyway. 3- Worldbuilding Worldbuilding doesn't make sense even from the first episode, there is no correlation between anything, there is no reason, explanation, how this works, how that works etc. etc. |

| So when Ichigo and others were launched to Soul Palace, were those Xcusion members with them? Didn't they die? |
| Squad zero makes their entrance and their members got quite the personalities. Feels like a fun bunch. I'm glad Byakuya survived, hope he gets better after the treatment from squad zero. Glad to see Orihime and others doing well and seems like Grimmjow's with them. |

| Is kinda sad using Soi Fon as plot device to say what the audience is thinking, but is always good to see Soi Fon. We got to see Shutara. This is a good day. Grimmjow's abs. More about Ichigo's family. Today cousins. |

Okeanix said: begija said: So when Ichigo and others were launched to Soul Palace, were those Xcusion members with them? Didn't they die? They died as human and back to Soul Society as souls. that's kinda weird, since I remember in last episode (366) Ichigo went to Soul Society to retrieve Ginjo's body. That would mean both his soul and body were there. |
| After 4 episodes of absolute fire, we're met with the calm of the storm we just went through. Not much here to say other than being surprised with comedy right off the bat, not a bad thing, after all, there's a lot of potential for comic relief after such an incident, and even still there manages to be a sad and tense tone in the aftermath of the invasion. We're introduced to Squad 0, who're willing to help Ichigo and restore Rukia, Renji and Byakuya. It seems Kubo is not killing Byakuya in the anime either which is understandable given the hell he went through the first time. There's a lot of foreshadowing in this episode, especially regarding Unohana and some cameos of Grimmjow and the Fullbringers, which I don't recall them being cameo'd that early in the manga, but it's something that really excited me. Emblemz said: Byakuya not dying will forever be Kubo's biggest fumble. Squad 0 are cool enough. 6/10 That wasn't really Kubo's fault, he was pressured a lot with death threats from Byakuya fanboys, and while is sad that he kept him alive in the anime, I wouldn't say it was a fumble, it's sad how much power some salty fanboys have over someone's work. @Okeanix You are speaking on behalf of others while your points are simply not true at all or are vague accusations of things you're probably aren't aware of.

Well that's clearly false seeing as me and many other people who haven't read TYBW can easily understand everything going on lmao. And Kubo is a bad writer? That's farrrr over-stepping it. Kubo is in no way a bad writer, honestly that's an outrageous statement even. |
begija said: that's kinda weird, since I remember in last episode (366) Ichigo went to Soul Society to retrieve Ginjo's body. That would mean both his soul and body were there. Do not pay attention to Okeanix, he's giving you misinformation. Shinigamis have the power to send off souls to the Soul Society, if humans are killed, they become spirits that will wander until either they're attacked by hollows, lose their mind and become hollows, or they're sent off by a Shinigami, it's one of the most basic things Bleach teaches early on. So, Shinigamis defeated the Fullbringers, they died, and they went to Soul Society mostly because they were slain by Shinigamis. I'm sure there's some details regarding Ginjo, but I can't speak much there because it's been a while. Mod Edit: Removed quote of edited post. |

| After a bunch of action-packed episodes, this was a breather and a change of pace which was the right idea at least on paper. I normally can enjoy breather episodes but this was really boring to me and I would say easily the least enjoyable episode so far from this entry. I've enjoyed much better breather episodes like these many other times compared to this one. Hopefully should be better with the next episode. At least there were some introductions and build to work as foreshadowing for the rest of the series. |

Gigai for what? For Gigai is for Shinigami to "implant" their soul in order to be in the world of living. It has nothing to do with Soul Society. |
| Grimmjow is back Bois! |
 |
| A much calmer episode now that the invasion's over. It's nice to finally meet Squad Zero, and also to see the Fullbringers in the Soul Society after their deaths. I actually enjoyed that arc, unlike many. |
begija said: Gigai for what? For Gigai is for Shinigami to "implant" their soul in order to be in the world of living. It has nothing to do with Soul Society. I Might be wrong then. But don't give it too much thought, he was still slain by a Shinigami and his soul would still go to the Soul Society afterwards. Ichigo only retrieved his body for an overglorified funeral. Also, Xcution members appeared late in this arc, they actually showed them early in the anime, there's a good chance Kubo will use the cut content to add new content regarding them and further explain this, let's hope that's the case.

| The Soul Society has not experienced this kind of a large scale attack in a long time. A lot of things change from here. We finally get to see the Zero division. They are a bunch of weird yet awesome guys imo. It's time for the training arc now!!!! We also get to see a few old characters back on screen!!! Overall this was a good episode. |
| i honestly hate comic relief presented in this anime, and it was such a good start to this season for 7 episodes |

| I feel misled. There was a Squad 0 all this time. They didn't bother to help. Yes, I know dude said their job is to guard the Royal Palace, but still. Aren't they 5 of the original 13? They look like it. They let the old man go out like that. Anywho... why didn't they take Kinny I wonder. He's as bad off as Byakuya. At least they're still both still alive. Hopefully, Byakuya survives his treatment of being thrown from hot spring to hot spring like a rag doll. |
