| Probably the most underwhelming episode by this season's standards imho, but I thought it was a nice respite episode, if anything, considering how tense and heavy the past few episodes have been. Funny enough how it kinda just flew by and felt short, which goes to show how nicely directed it still was, even as a less prioritized segment production-wise. It's especially nice here getting some needed context about one's Bankai being broken as well as introducing Squad Zero, the Royal Palace, and the Soul King for the first time. Comedy feels quite muted compared to the manga from my perspective but the more warmer colors here give that needed fuzzy comfortable feeling and a bit of nostalgia considering how the original Bleach anime looked (despite that one's own inconsistencies). As much as I love the TYBW arc, I still am not really fond of Byakuya being saved, though I can completely get the unfortunate circumstances behind that which were related to Kubo facing lots of death threats at the time he was writing that part in the manga. Hopefully the adaptation will implement something to justify his survival, whether through emotional context or some logical explanation. Mod Edit: Removed spoiler. |

| Not killing Byakuya is for the best, instead of getting a *stare* from the Byakuya fans. He is one of the main supporting characters, removing him like that is a no-go, Rukia would be all alone... (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ Moving on. Another solid episode but as the others have stated, the pacing looks too fast but at the same time, for me, it was too slow or they simply skipped parts that I don't know of as a non-manga reader. Heck, even as a non-manga reader, I can readily understand the story quite well since I already watched the previous season with a serious mind, to understand every character including the supporting ones quite well but of course, probably some others won't really have a knack for it or most probably, they really didn't try to understand the story. (Try rewatching the old seasons again before you watch this series... lmao) P.S. Byakuya getting tossed around like that was hilarious for some reason lmao |

| 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. |
| byakuya survived im soo happy!! the episode was hilarious. cant wait to see unohana in action. will we get to see more of the og gotei 13? i really loved the special ed featuring them. kinda disappointed that they switched back to the old version ed. But the song slaps |
| I wanted to see that rukia booty scene in the bath... oh well I guess Ill have to be content with seeing her at all ! 😍 |
| another amazing ep byakyua is alive and squad zero have been animated finally |
 |
| now there's also zero squad ok and soul king wake up nice |
 |
| After nonstop action since the beginning of the season it's about time we got a breather. Obviously the mood is depressing in Soul Society right now, with all the injuries/casualties and the captains grieving Old Man Yama, but Squad Zero was finally introduced and they're certainly an interesting, humorous, and colorful collection of people. Glad they kind of lightened the mood of this episode a bit. It was also nice to see a lot of old familiar faces again (especially a certain someone that was teased during the Urahara conversation). |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| Quite the turn of events. Characters I thought I'd never see again came out of nowhere. But, before all of that. It's not the best look Soul Society. Everything is destroyed, most of the squad members are death and only one squad remains full. Byakuga and Kenpachi might never regain consciousness, but they're atleast not dead. Rukia and the rest are hurt, but not in a critical condition like the rest. Ichigo's the only one who seems to be doing fine after fighting Yhwach. Oh man, this is where the turn of events starts. Squad Zero who serves under the Soul King appeared and took a handful of soul reapers with them and one of them was Ichigo. The one woman's design is just cheff kiss, can't stop looking at her. And the other dude with the Yakuza hair cut is hilarious imo. Really like characters like this who kinda bring up a bit more comedy into series. Aside from that, we got a fatty who seems to be the leader type. You've also got the reintroductions of the main antagonists of the last Bleach arc and our boy (whose name I forgot). The Soul King appeared in the end and I must say, he does look very godly. |

| Mild spoilers for manga: I wonder what the point of showing |
| Pacing was way too fast again and scenes just transitioned into others without leaving the audience enough time to process what was happening. How the hell are non-manga followers keeping up when the anime keeps moving a hundred miles a minute? Also the studio missed a great opportunity to actually give Oetsu some more dialogue yet he was basically ignored just like in the manga. Also they chose a really weird place to end the episode. |
| It's nice to see Grimmjow back again !! |
 |
| 3/5 A severe drop in direction and pacing after the last 2 bleach episodes, arguably the best in the whole series so far. The animation still remains gorgeous but the pacing was very jarring and obtuse this time around We follow the aftermath of Quincies utter destruction of Soul society. Kenpachi, Byakuya, Rukia & Renji are all relatively safe while Ichigo is in shambles as to what he just learned from Ywach, which was very short-lived. We then immediately get introduced to squad 0 outta nowhere and it felt a bit all over the pace. We get our usual interactions especially focusing more on Unohana, pretty excited for her reveal in upcoming episodes. It is then decided that Ichigo is to visit the soul palace immediately while we see a little tease of fan favorite Grimmjow. We also see a little bit of Ganzo and those guys from the fullbringer arc(I forgot their names). Ichigo has to go through every squad zero members like a rite of passage while Byakuya & Kenpachi are healing. We get a little glimpse of what Soul King looks like at the end and his design is very interesting to say the least Again, even though the pacing and sequencing were all over the place, the episode is still jam packed with reveals, comedy and more reveals. |

| This is one heavily censored & rushed episode! The studio cut out way too much lore and is rushing to the next big fight... - No steroid Kon - No Rukia's peaches - Bankai explanation cut short - Shinji was the one who operated on Renji and Ruki and saved their lives, and this is cut out - Urahara stealing the hot springs tech from Kirinji cut out - No explanation why Orihime can't just heal the captains and the broken bankais The Bleach subreddit has a very long list of the cut content for those interested. |
| I hate to say it but i cant wait 1 week for the next episode this was so great. Good that byakuya and kenpachi are alive. We see for the first time the Squad Zero, they seem to be a lot more stronger then the 13 Squad Captains. Was there Ichigo dad in the past scene they shown. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Watching this episode feels like watching Bleach in the past, it's really very nostalgic to see the humor in this episode. I'm also happy to see that the squad 0 character doesn't look like a strong character but is actually very strong. Another good thing is that many of the old characters that I thought were dead are seen coming back in this episode. I really enjoyed this episode can't wait to see the next episode. Really Good Episode 5/5 |

| No Rukia peach is a big shame, rest of the episode was solid, but probably the weakest one in this whole season so far, even if it's kinda forgivable after three banger episodes (5,6,7) in a row. Next episode's title is "The Drop", guessing it will end with the introduction of and the full fight will be EP10. If they do it right, that's another amazing episode right there and could even compare to the previous mentioned peak of the season. 7/10. |
| This was a great set up episode after the last 2 awesome episodes. Oh the tease of Kenpachi at the end was a nice touch! |
| They need to stop adding post-credit scenes tbh. They're very easy to miss and there's really no point in adding them. I had enough of that shit when FMAB did it. ShamankinguYoh said: They really screwed up the scene where Komamura lays out Soi fon. How so? |
AdolZeppeli said: 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. That's been a baseless rumor floating around but no one has ever verified that(even back when chapters were coming out). Hell, Kubo got death threats other times before and that never influenced his writing. |
 |
| Now the grim task of search and rescue and Id'ing the dead begins huh. Even if the 4th's healers were on the front the quincies assault would have caused losses to them as well. Putting the needs of others before himself is what we live about him after all. As if losing the head captain wasn't tragic enough but not even having a body to bury as well. Hmm so squad zero is a squad of captains that have the fighting power of the whole of the squads huh. If only they were on the field when the enemy attacked. Still they sure are quite the eccentric bunch. Still must be nice for them to all have castles of their own though when they're in their realm. Overall a fun ep that did a great job at showing not only how much damage the society took but also how many reapers lost their lives or were horribly injured during the enemy assault. Im curious at what squad zero would bring to the story though. |

Hell, Kubo got death threats other times before and that never influenced his writing. I trust Kubo, and I know this final arc specifically was hell for him due to deadlines and health issues, so him being affected by death threats is very plausible even if he had received death threats in the past. |

| Even after the few very heavy eps we got before it's nice to see the usual comedy back, the Squad Zero had a pretty fun introduction I would say xD |
 |
| Only a short moment of Kukaku, would've liked more screen time for her Squad zero dropping in, but Senjumaru is the only one that I find interesting |
 |
I love this episode but I do dislike like the decision in the story bring back the fullbringers even for only little bit but Kūgo Ginjō definitely died there is no way he is alive  |
