| And that was it. A really short-lived period where Unohana was actually an interesting character. At least she got her moment. Looking forward to the rest and I guess reading the manga made this not as hype as it should have been. |

Thank the heavens, one of the worst characters in Bleach is finally gone. And her dying gave Kenpachi a power up, talk about killing 2 birds with 1 stone. There's plenty of asspulls and plot convenience in Bleach. Mod Edit: Modified quote of edited post. You clearly dont get why she doesn't go out to fight Do you ask a War doctor in battle field to go on battle field to combat? They need to keep her hidden/ safe so she can heal the wounded later. The 1st captain ORDERED her to never charge out to combat. > Orihime, a human master healer with big tits and no other notable skill, goes out on the battlefield constantly to both heal and fight. It's also hard to heal anyone later when they're dead. |

| This is one of the greatest adaptations of all time. I'm speechless. Unohana's Bankai was so perfect, I got chills.. |
| The insight into how bloodthirsty Unohana was back then really was insightful. As was the manner of how she met Kenpachi. But the revelation that he had been unconsciously suppressing his true power was a surprise. Still the fight between the two of them really is entertaining in that while it had excellent action it also combined well with character expansion for the two. The final fight between the two of them really was tragic beyond measure. Hmm so in a way the Asauchi are baby zanpakuto's huh. But the thought that the soul reapers and the Asauchi train and bond with each other and become actual partners as they both gain in power was a interesting piece of lore. In curious though at what Ichigo would find as he rediscovers his roots though. |

| Quite the contrast going from the Unohana vs Kenpachi fight into Nimaiya's paradise |
 |
| ichigo lost vs kenpachi since his mask saved him, he can't get up without yoruichi treating him+ kenpachi never used 2 hands |
| RIP mommy Unohana Finally we got the "I AM NUMBER ONE ZANPAKUTO CREATOR!", I LOVE Oetsu! "Everything but the rain" is coming next!!! OMG! It's one of my most anticipated arcs! Ary125tues said: Machovskyzavin said: fight was too quick and random, anticlimatic. the second half was impossible to watch and focus on after what happened in the first half. kinda confused about the direction I think from the manga reader perspective...they have killed it... In the manga, the Oetsu introduction and the fight against the Asauchi happen before the Kenny vs Unohana fight, and after that we have Oetsu sending Ichigo home. I don't know why they changed it in the anime, I think it would have worked better releasing it in the original order (ep 9: Oetsu introduction and start of the fight, ep 10: Kenny vs Unohana, end credits, and post credits scene as it was). |
 |
| What a conclusion to that fight, with Kenpachi unlocking his true potential thanks to Unohana's sacrifice. It was cool to see her Bankai and the anime made it look menacing as hell. The backstory was great too. More training for Ichigo and Renji but things aren't looking too good for Ichigo right now. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| Unohana and her bankai were cool, but I'm not sure I understand what it does (instant regeneration maybe?). No visible tear from Kenpachi? Nishimaiya was a pleasure to have on the screen, I found him to be rather funny. The way he pronounced "creator" was impressive lol, was expecting something like "kurieetaa". |
| can dis sig fit |
| My honest opinion: this fight would be better if they dedicated entire episode to it. With no cuts, no shit. Take half the previous one, and take this one, extend it- and you will get the masterpiece. Meanwhile we got amazing fight... and then focus instantly shifts to Renji and Ichigo. Think of Yamamoto's death, there wouldn't be so much hype if the fight was split into parts and immediately after we were shown some other scene for 10 more minutes. |
We're talking about two born killers who always overpowered their opponents, and in Zaraki's case he barely tries to block most of the time. Why would there be a choreography when 2 brutes are fighting? |
| Damn Zaraki and Unohana, Unohana's defeated happened so... well that was definitely epic, now the 2nd part it was a weird transition but still it turns out Ichigo has to train more by going back at home I wonder it will turn out |

It's also hard to heal anyone later when they're dead. And then Orihime ends up getting captured all the time lolz She's just a dumb nice girl who just doesnt concern about her wellbeing, not a soldier or doctor who need to make sure they're alive to save people . Like I said 1st captain ORDERED Unohana to nvr charge out to combat cuz she's like the last insurance backup of soul society. They do not know the full capability/ strength / perks of the enemies yet so is rational for them to not risk their best healer in frontline. Unohaha trusted First captain's judgement cuz she believes he can win. She never have expected first captain to be defeated, nor is everyone else . |
| I think this was a good episode, but I actually don't think it was as good as it could have been. It's my own fault for getting caught up in the hype for this fight. Don't get me wrong, it was a good fight, but I was expecting them to add a bit more to it. For example, the details of Minazuki are still pretty unclear. Still a good episode but it could, and should, have been so much more. I'm incredibly excited to see Everything But the Rain from next week, as well as the community reaction to what is to come. |

| Yuuup, what ichigo needs is to know who he really is, i feel your identity ichigo is too ambiguous. Cool episode for this week, i hope next episode explain exactly who ichigo really is. |

Please stop asking info dumps for Bleach as that would ruin the series. There's beauty and poetry in subtext and we do not need to be told exactly what something as conceptual as a zanpakuto power should do as those are based on the very soul of the user. |
| So Unohana's been killing and healing Zaraki that's why he's experiencing blackouts There's an after credits scene |

| rip Unohana T_T on the other hand, rip Ichigo in a completely different way lol. I guess he's going to learn about his mom and maybe something more about his dad |
 |
| I really love how they did the Kenpachi vs Unohana fight. I'm still sad that Unohana had to die here, she was always the best Bleach waifu imo and just when we found out she was even more badass than we thought she dies. Its a shame but its how it has to be. |
Ary125tues said: Early_Morning said: Episode was mediocre. They didn't even expand the fight much nor explain what Unohana's bankai could do. The entire thing was rushed and sure it was like that in the manga as well but at least the anime should've given more context, especially since before the series premiered we were told that some parts of the story would receive additional scenes ffs... Also this was the worst instance of a post-credits scene ever. Why do they keep doing that, do they not realize that many viewers stop watching the episodes once the ending credits roll? I don't know about you...but they do post credit since ep 1 of tybw...every watcher is used to it....and also they added many new scene from the manga....they need to cover a lot with additional scenes....and no way it was mediocre...though it was still fast paced... I'm basing the post-credit remark on what I've witnessed myself; I watch multiple reaction mashups of the episodes every week, and every week there's at least a dozen people who skip the post-credit scenes accidentally because they don't realize that they exist. This episode was the worst instance so far imo because the post-credit scene was actually really important and longer than the others. And I'm not denying that the anime has added a few scenes, just not ones that are actually useful. The Uryu scenes only add extra foreshadowing for something that manga readers already know will happen and even anime-only viewers are unlikely to get much benefit from the extra Uryu scenes in the long run. Some fights have had a couple seconds of material added in, but again so far they've been minor scenes. This fight which was one of the most anticipated of the series really should've been expanded imo, by at least adding some dialogue explaining Unohana's bankai so that people don't have to research it themselves. |
| The animation was amazing as always, but I expected more from the fight and Unohana's character, idk... If she's really dead, I'm sorry, but I think Kubo wasted her character. |
| Even though I knew it was coming for years thanks to spoilers. It still hurts |
That's the problem with eternal damnation, you get used to it after a while |
IDani35 said: The animation was amazing as always, but I expected more from the fight and Unohana's character, idk... If she's really dead, I'm sorry, but I think Kubo wasted her character. This is something good but also bad about Bleach. Kubo is really good at creating amazing designs and characters. The problem is there is so many of them that a lot of them don't get the screentime to shine or even get to show their powers I would have loved to see her more. But at least we got to see her use her powers and she got an emotional death that kinda made sense as a Kenpachi. |

| My excitement was through the roof watching the first half. Unohana’s bankai is sick af. I felt that they should’ve expanded the fight more because it was a bit short but nevertheless the animation was perfect. Still sad that Unohana had to die since she’s a great character but I’m glad that they gave us a glimpse of her past at least. I could see that despite being a cold-blooded killer, the past hundred years did change Unohana that also includes Yamaji. She definitely didn’t appear as cold on her fight with Zaraki but more like threatening in a teacher kind of way, the emotion she showed through her eyes was a nice touch. Also, the transition on the second half was weird lol. Can’t wait to see Isshin’s appearance and the revelation. |
