| Made a new entry just for episode 7 Alone. My mind is blown, I don't recall much of the manga here, but I can say for sure that many things shown, especially the OG Gotei 13 were anime original. This episode was hugely emotional and boy, I can say it rivals Episode 6, it might be even better, the OST, the emotional weight, the damn peak animation, it got me even more pumped than the previous episode. I'm glad they showed a bit of the old Gotei 13, I'd love if we receive a spin off or more flashbacks about them, because holy shit that was brutal. Also that cutscene between Adult Yama and young Shunsui was a nice addition too. We then see Yamamoto's last stance and the second part of the invasion in which is a complete total slaughter, Shinigamis being destroyed from left ro right, while a powerless Ichigo is standing there sensing their souls fade as he can't do much but spam getsuga tenshou until the jail breaks. And after this, we're met with a huge emotional scene with the last moments of Byakuya, ngl this was devastating, all those dead shinigami sights must have been really taxing on Ichigo, especially those dear friends of his, and now Byakuya basically giving him his last will on protecting Soul Society, they really delivered and give the manga justice on this scene, you could feel Ichigo's anger from far away and Morita's voice was on a whole 'nother level, and then, the icing on the cake was the fight between Ichigo and Yhwach which was short, but it was damn amazing. What a banger episode, I think I'd need to rewatch this episode just to be sure. The ost was amazing, the animation was pretty good despite the CG on the soldats, the fight choreography was damn insane, and the passion in the voice acting, holy shit. I'm speechless, what a time to be a Bleach Fan! |

| Another solid episode. Overall the anime is way better than the manga even if Yhwach is still ridiculously overpowered at every point in TYBW. If Pierrot keeps this level of production for the 2nd invasion and the Kubo rewrites are actually good then this adaptation will be somewhat worth the hype. Still overrated but better than I imagined. |
 |
| I have utter chills man. They did this episode magnificently. Yamamoto's and Shunsui's flashback, Byakuya scene, Ichigo's fight against Yhwach, the quincies absolutely destroying the SS, the OG GOTEI 13! Just incredible. I'll have to rewatch.

| PEAK FICTION. Anime extended scenes, First Person Pov on Shaz Domino. Shunsui Backstory with emotions. Byakuya speech with emotions. GOD TIER animation from Kanno during the extended fight of Ichigo vs Yhwach which in manga happened within 2-3 slashes I suppose... AND NOTHING CAN BE EXPLAINED SOUNDTRACK IS BACK BABY! |
| The animation was yet again awesome!!!! And we finally get to see that one manga panel getting adapted : "Protect the soul society, Kurosaki Ichigo!!!" Those words hit deep!!!! The head captain died :( And everything is in shambles right now in the soul society. Also a huge secret was revealed, but let's just say for now it needs confirmation and will be explained later on in the anime. Great episode!!!! |

| I had a lot of qualms with the direction of the previous episode, but this episode proved that they're still on the right track! This felt exactly how Bleach should feel. Big props to Shinichirō Ueda for his direction in this episode -- they must be a fan of the show themselves because they knew how to hit all the right, familiar notes. I honestly enjoyed this a hundred times more than the previous episode, and I can now safely say that my faith in this adaptation has been restored once more. Some random notes:
5/5! EDIT: If I may add one criticism: I didn't like how many flashing lights the Yhwach VS Ichigo fight had. I'm a migraineur myself so that kind of shit is painful for me to look at. And for people with epilepsy, it's so much worse. So, if you somehow haven't watched the episode yet, consider this a friendly flashing lights warning. |

| That was a ridiculous plot twist, lol... (unfortunately, I already got spoiled by some dumb*ss from another thread) Well, this was enjoyable enough but I'm still unsatisfied. I need more episodes lmao. P.S. When will we get 2 episodes each week like some series out there...?! (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ |
| 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. |
| The opening scene with the original 13 was glorious! edit: It tookd me a few hours to digest. I almost cried when Byakuya died. I feel widowed. He was my future ex animated husband. Now, I'm wondering if Ichi's mom wasn't Yhwach (how do they get Yuhabaha out of that?) daughter. |

| episode felt like it was 30 seconds long. it was over too soon. so is ichigo part quincy or something? |
 |
| To everyone who thinks Ichigo using Blut Vene is an "ass-pull", or makes no sense, I promise you that it will all be explained later in a satisfying way. I don't want to spoil anything, but there's more to this besides Ichigo just randomly awakening a new ability at a convenient time. It won't be brushed over. Once you have all the pieces of the puzzle, it will make sense. There are problems in the writing of this arc (which I hope the anime adaptation will correct), but trust me, this is not one of them. |
| Holy shit, this was nuts, even better than the last episode. |

-FALSE said: For anyone who hasn't realised, this is the first time we are ever shown it raining in the Soul Society in the canon epsiodes. Yamamoto's power is so insane it literally causes the atmosphere itself to have heavy weather changes. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhqhOYBWQAEgdPe?format=jpg&name=large https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FhqlMfVWQAM_DVk?format=png&name=900x900 |
| out of the near thousand anime i've seen this is by far the best adaptation of a shonen manga ever. FMAB quite simply does not come close, and I personally think this is one of the least well written arcs of a manga of all time. It's just that good. |
| bro bleach is going to be only 13 ep??? |
_Juicyyy_ said: Yoarry said: Without spoil it will have for me a good explanation and it make sense but i can understand that Ichigo be part everything can be annoying. So you read the manga and know how it all plays out. So it's a decent explanation. it's arguably the only explanation that makes sense for Ichigo's "part everything" nonsense in this manga. If they took the hollow side and fullbringer side out he would be much more fleshed out, since the shinigami and the quincy are the only ones that make practical sense considering their origins. |
| Calling this episode a perfect adaptation is an understatement, it flat out elevated the manga with stuff we've always wanted to see |

| This was yet another 10/10 episode, and maybe even better than last week, which I didn't think was possible. The animation for Ichigo vs. Yhwach was incredible, and the Quincy reveal was a crazy twist. The original 13 Squad Captains were ruthless. It was sad to hear how heartbroken Shunsui was over Yamamoto's death, you can tell how much the old man meant to him. And RIP Byakuya (if he's actually dead), I grew to like him a lot after the SS arc, and his speech to Ichigo was very touching. |

| Goddman what an episode |
| Somehow they managed to outdo their work from episode 6. Loved the anime-original scenes with the OG 13 Court Guard Squads, and overall the emotions were high in this episode. Every captain realizing Old Man Yama was defeated, and Shunsui's reaction in particular, was heartbreaking. The Ichigo/Byakuya conversation hit hard too, and we got THE panel!!!! Save the Soul Society, Ichigo Kurosaki 😭 The Ichigo-Yhwach fight was great too and a new revelation about Ichigo has now been teased by Yhwach. Too bad he took his leave but he planted the seeds that will lead to interesting questions and even more interesting answers. |
