Good animation, just too dark. I have to watch every episode with the brightness at maximum, because otherwise the screen comes out kind of black.

Oh wow the extended fight of Unohana Bankai was so good ^.^


It's so cool seeing her utilizing those blood-red acid as blades and projectiles.

Unohana's Bankai was pretty well made. Sad to see it's the only scene in the anime that it was utilized (unless Hell arc will show it again).
Also lol Nimaiya Oh-etsu, funny as hell with that intro of his. What a shame that Ichigo failed his Asauchi "test". Since next episode will be Everything but the Rain, maybe I'll get to hear that remixed Nothing can be Explained ost more often?

Even though there was a drastic contrast between serious/dark and comedic between the first half of the episode and the second half, I'd still say the first half did more than enough to make this episode iconic on its own.
Unohana vs Zaraki, THE BATTLE, was just incredible. It was as good or better than I had envisioned it when I read it. The added fight choreography was also a welcome addition.

I got this info from the bleach wiki fandom. There’s more levels to her bankai from what I remember but these are the most noticeable. Feel free to look up the page, it’s an interesting read. The 2 sides of the coin of her shikai and bankai are frightening. One to heal, one to kill


Well, the Bleach wiki isn't exactly the best source of information and their explanation of Unohana's bankai is mostly just their interpretation and should NOT be taken as fact.
I will concede it's an ok guess tho.

Recently, when Kubo was asked a question in his fan club (Klub Outside), he requested the fan asking the question to "Please refer to the official, not the wiki.". So that fan likely based their question based on info from the Wiki and Kubo wasn't very happy with it, understandably so...

The Bleach wiki don't even consider Kubo's supervised CFYOW and SAFWY novels to be canon, when most fans gladly do.
There's many other mistakes and assumptions the Bleach wiki does, that often even goes against official statements from Kubo himself - namely Giselle's gender, among others.

So yeach, I would refrain from taking the wiki that seriously, they clearly don't respect the author AT ALL.

Fantastic episode.

It was a treat to watch this particular fight unfold, alongside the backstory of Zaraki and Unohana.
I hope we get spin-off on Unohana at some point.

The next 2 weeks (3 episodes) is going to be great. An early Christmas gift!

4/5

Bleach is firing on all cylinders and definitely deserves the acclaim it has gotten from last couple of episodes. This was no exception. The direction of some vital scenes felt a bit drab and quick but all-in-all, decent execution

Unohana and Zaraki immediately get us started on the action with their respective profound monologues explaining all their emotions that had ultimately culminated in this final bout for the title of KENPACHI. The animation was very fluid & consistent during their scuffle which I very much enjoyed. The over-extended monologues might've bored a few casuals but its aight'. The Unohana bankai scene was a visual delight, we see her go off on Zaraki, who is still reluctant to give up against his greatest competition. Unohana was the reason Zaraki started to reserve his full power and now it was unleashed in full glory amidst this battle to death. Zaraki comes out as victor and it could've been more cathartic but for the sudden climax resolution. It felt off and wee bit ruined by the end but that's just me nit picking

The second half was decent. Got introduced to the creator of Zanpaktous , who is very annoying at first glance but grows on you. Ichigo seemingly fails his test and is banished from soul society for the foreseeable future until he finds his "roots", like the dude put it

Only three more episodes to go for this cour but the best moments are still yet to arrive. This was a fine episode, could've been more effective but im not complaining too much

I feel like I'm the only one that wants to try and figure out who voiced Kenpachi's Zanpakutou in that moment.

It's not
's voice actor, I checked, but my kanji knowledge is pretty bad and it could be a lot of VAs overall. It does seem like it's meant to be someone else, which makes sense in a way given the nature of Zaraki's zanpakutou anyway, but anyone recognize the VA that's listed as "Zanpakutou" in ep. 10's credits?

Checked, only took maybe...15 minutes and I think I found out who it is: Natsuko Kuwatani. Not many main roles and her voice seems to be a bit generic, but this may be intentional anyway with regards to Zaraki's zanpakutou being mysterious

I think that this is her : Natsuko Kuwatani as Zanpakutō (ep 10)

No Bleach experience, sadly, but I have to wonder if they'll even show up, but I don't recall there was much more speaking from the zanpakutou anyway. If anything, it'll probably be more blunt about who it is when we see that one fight

Christ, the pace is horrible. What are these clowns doing? Like seriously, comparing and speeding up an epic fight that should have lasted for two episodes. I can't believe they showed and ended Unohana's bankai in only one episode. It's hard to have an emotional impact when the pacing is so fast and horrible.

Anyways, back to the content. Even with failed pacing, the fight was quite awesome. Unohana's bankai was scary epic. Really sad to see her go, but sadly it didn't have the emotional impact we wished for.

Regarding Kenpachi's strength, I knew Kenpachi was holding it back, but to seal it that much. It came as a shock. It's going to be interesting to see how stronger he has become.

I cannot believe that unohana died. she was so powerful and could have done so much more for the 13 not just healing wise but also fighting. She only died for zaraki to finally get some development and learn his zanpakto name. I really liked her.

Also making ichigo a human, quincy, soul reaper, hallow, and fullbringer was a little much. and if his mom was a quincy why couldn't she defend against the grand fisher? plus how they made it so ichigo has to "discover his roots" before he can get his zanpakto back was a little weird but I am excited to see how this plays out.

It's still the same old generic shounen Bleach, just with highest level production.

I'm surprised it's still rated 9.10 on MAL, would you guys rate Hero Academia 8.6+ if it was animated by ufotable?

I guess it was inevitable, there can only be one kenpachi in an era. RIP unohana. Can't wait to see even more powerful kenpachi in his next fight.
Ichigo isn't quite ready yet for fixing his zanpaktou and learning his roots first should be really interesting to see. This episode ended so fast than any other episode tho, which isn't that surprising anymore.

Even though we didn’t see her much, I’m gonna miss Unohana. One can say that Both her and Yama, being two strong Soul Reapers, grew rather weak mentally as they got older. She could have easily killed Kenpachj and continued living, but wanted to unleash his shackles so that he could become the strongest version of himself.

Like everyone else said, That transition to Ichigo and Renji was sudden and took away some of the intensity of the episode. Ichigo fails at something yet again and has to go back to his roots to relearn
