| Such a relief it was to those beaten up ears of every kind back in Soul society when it was loudly announced Kurosaki Ichigo's heading there to free them up from the "Quincy" nightmare, only to things getting worse just a minute later. Ichigo’s stuck in garganta and people are getting obliterated left and right, irrespective of their ranks. Started with As Nodt with that husky voice(!!) toying with Byakuya, instilling the very sense of fear in that strong persona that too with his very bankai of anything, then Renji followed the suit and same with Rukia. Though “THE MAN” Kenpachi did arrive at the scene, and hell he straight up challenged Yhwach lol. Best man for a reason. Got the flashbacks of Yamamoto and Sasakibe, they been through a lot and did they do a good job showing Yamamoto’s wrath.. hell yeah. Damn his presence alone on the battlefield lifted up the motivations to a whole hundred. Epic faceoff coming, Yamamoto against Yhwach. And yet again the Mother of hype just not leaving us. |
| These two episodes are going to be really big for Bleach fans and for the production as well. And yes, it is just pure carnage in this episode. It was a sad day for Byakuya fans. I felt bad watching him like that. And, it was time for Kenpachi to come out and be the absolute GOAT that he is along with grandpa Yamamoto. The backstory on Yamamoto and Sasakibe was very nice. And then, the rage scene was so fucking fire. That OST. The next episode of Bleach will probably be the best episode in the Bleach franchise. That post-credits scene was pure KINO. |
 |
| Well, Ichigo himself is literally in this unknown trap being setup up, and regardless of all the techniques he is using, it ain’t going to work, and he has a time limit to save others. Oh well, but heh, what in the world happened to that MF getting sliced in half all of a sudden? Renji and Byakuya’s end are determining the nature of one of the Wandereich's techniques; they’re sure being "intellectual" about this for the sake of safety, but that’s some compensation once in a while that implies prior experiences. The long-haired masked guy's got an interesting weapon up his sleeve, and he has a serious but advantageous case of paranoia with a first thought in mind before he even admits it, lol. It’s more of a mental memory of where he can dictate Byakuya’s authorities, strength, and shit. Of course anyone would feel fear in this kind of fight, as the long-haired masked guy is already bringing up some terror. The moment Rukia turned into that disgusting looking monster freaks me out lol, Byakuya needed to build up his fear instincts, just like having some analogies of insects crawling in his body, having other experiences, etc. The amount of blood coming out of Byakuya—oof, Renji got his manup, and I really like the fight sequences here—well, there’s no way for Renji to beat that long-haired, masked guy. Yamamoto in his younger self looks so different; he may be refusing others to learn from him, but gradually he’s just merely accepting it. Well always, I’ve been gassing Kenpachi since the Hueco Mundo because he always got that monster in him but nooo my man is NOW getting choked to death 😭😭😭😭 but Yamamoto after his past storytelling going back with that flame, things are heating up, especially in the next episode, which will definitely cover something between Yamamoto and Yhwac (Don’t miss out the post-credit on this episode). |

| Damn, seeing Byakuya without his bankai and on the knees was painful. Reiji tried his hardest but seems like he didn't make much of a difference. One thing I'm impressed with this season so far is the sheer emotional volume of the characters. It was great to see adult Yamamoto and some of his background story. A reminder that he is still a mighty badass in this timeline. |
 |
| Zaraki got defeated was unpredictable!!! Yamamoto Genryuusai was once Eijisai and then turned his name into Genryuusai because of his subordinate... that's hella respect man! Yuhabahha is in real Trouble now! got get him Captain! meanwhile, Ichigo is still stuck at that area, when will he be out of there?! AND WHO DEFEATED THE J ONE?!?!? gotta wait for the next episode! |
| Sasakibe's flashback was pretty good. Young Yamamoto was a badass (well, he still is) I'm just happy to see my boi Zaraki again. Edit: There is a important post-credits scene, so do not close the episode until the ED is completely finished.  |

| For those that missed the news, the dub for this season started last Friday! This episode wasn't looking good for the Soul Society in the first half. It's a good thing Kenpachi and Yamamoto showed up in the second half to give them some hope (at least until the post credits scene, haha). Both sides took major losses, and it will likely continue being a struggle for the rest of the war. Ichigo's closest friends in the Soul Society didn't fair well, so hopefully that gives him the motivational boost to power through the jail that Quilge set up. The really interesting part of the episode was Yamamoto's flashback and confrontation with the Quincy, The Overkill. The Overkill used Sasakibe's Bankai, but it seems like it wasn't nearly as powerful as it should have been. That suggests that the Quincy aren't as efficient at using the Bankai and either can't use its full power or that they need to practice with it first before being fully capable of utilizing its full abilities, which makes sense. This episode thankfully had much better pacing than the previous episodes. Next episode looks like the two bosses will be duking it out, so that should be fun. |

| Happy to see Sasakibe finally got to use his own Bankai onscreen for the first time |
| Kenpachi is a savage lmao But damn, even he got foookked |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| In this episode we see why Zaraki can be a MC, the enemy was giving a monologue and he just rip the throat of the guy. With that display of power for Cpt. Genryuusai, is hard not have the morale boosted to maximum. |
 |
| Holy shit. The farewell to Sasakibe and the build-up to the fight of the year hit different. Yamamoto burned Driscoll down to the bones. Amazing episode. |
| Also the weirdest thing about this episode is that it implies the Zanpakuto Rebellion was canon as it shows Byakuya vs Koga in his flashback |
| Ichigo needs another power up if he can't even destroy a lock skill from a Quincy. I wonder what kind of training he will be needing again. lol |
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
Bhaskar_Singh said: Eh. How did that happen to zaraki. I was certainly not expecting that. He'll make a hardcore comeback in the future, he's just not ready for the upper tiers of power right now. |
| Its looking not good for Rukia, Byakuya, renji and at least kenpachi shows up but he had no chanche against the head of the Quicy. Ichigo is not coming out whatever he tries but someone under him is i hope helping him. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
Same man. The guy who took down 3 sternritters in the first invasion. Good to see him back. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |

| I was really worried to be greeted by another recap the moment I started the episode, and what I got in exchange was massive hype out of the crude and brutal slaughter of Byakuya, Renji and Rukia, and boi, As Nodt really giving me the creeps with his voice, that was so well done. The absolute state of despair and the dreadful feeling in the air really overwhelmed Ichigo, this was a perfect portrayal of the urgency of this quincy invasion, and it was done greatly. On the other half we got Yamamoto being an absolute hype machine, first introducing part of his backstory with sasakibe, and then, after the backstory ends, the man went full chad mode, fucking incinerated Sasakibe's killer, and threw his entire anger across the entire Soul Society, hyping up all the remaining Captains and other shinigamis that were losing their battles, boosting the morale of Soul Society. That was so damn hype and fire I couldn't even believe my eyes. The pacing this time around felt more adequate, it was slower than usual, but it did it's job perfectly, it portrayed the despair greatly and everything looks so damn clean, I'm glad the recap was only a thing of last episode, now I understand why they decided to make episode 4 shorter because holy shit, all the absolute fire was saved for this episode. Last but not least, gotta love how Kenpachi slayed 3 Sternritters like it was nothing, but that's Kenpachi for you lmao. Next week is going to be absolutely nuts, can't wait! |

| Eiji-san is beyond angry. Genryusan burned dude so fast I don't even think he knew he was dead. Dayum! Kinpachi had me cracking up. He had 3 dead bodies. The other captains better get it together cuz they will not live it down. Kinpachi doesn't let them finish their little spiels which I love about him. You hear to fight or talk? LOVE HIM!! My eldest brother's name was Kenny and he loved to fight. Maybe it's the name. LOL The Quincy King stopped Kenny with his arm. That's crazy strong. |
| I had to rewatch that clip of the head Captain absolutely burning that dude out of existence and also at the end Kampachi lost and Yhwach didn’t even break a sweat |
 |
| Genryuusai is PISSED. Next episode is going to go absolutely crazy for sure. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
