Senjumaru bankai isn't there in manga ??
Easily the best bankai in the series for me (This surpasses byakuyas which was my previous#1). She clutched all other Quincys with that giant loom Beautiful bankai for the beautiful lady .
Kinda dissatisfied for expecting more from Yhwach.
Anyways it's time to wait for the next season.

| @crimsontomato Guard 0 in the manga get offscreened except Ichibei, almost all the 2 last episode are new. |

| Senjumaru's bankai was lit and creative indeed. I like the kaleidoscope effect. Highlight of this episode. Yes, Kon, I've enjoyed the Part 2 finale. |
 |
| Now THIS is what I've wanted from this season. New content that improves on the source material? HELL YES. Last two episodes were amazing!! Zero Squad are not the jobbers they were in manga, wow. Thanks for that, Kubo. Hopefully some other fights and story aspects get expanded as well. |
| Absolute masterpiece they fixed the Squad 0 fights well and good to see Kon again  Next part Aizen will be back |
 |
| As a mangareader the anime only content in this episode pleased me so much. I'm glad Squad zero is getting the spotlight that it deserves! Excited for the next cour! |
 |
| Holy shit, ep 13 is almost entirely anime original with the bankai and additional fight scene. Bandai really overdid themselves. Thought Jujutsu season 2 will take the spotlight of anime of the season , but Bleach yet again take the glory in the end. Everything is executing so flawlessly for a battle shonen, from pacing to animation to battle, plus it provides so much surprises for manga readers. It'd be a huge waste skipping the anime if you're old Bleach fan who watched the manga. This is a must watch and some of the best adaptation in battle shonen. |

This finale truly showed why Bleach is apart of the Big 3
| @_KingDuckling_ I wouldnt say big 3 but i think it beat the shit out of Demon Slayer in general and Jujutsu s2 (Jujutsu s2 has some questionable changes and sometimes weird fight scenes. The change in director is noticable, and is far less polished than s1) |
| WOW Senjumaru's Bankai! And Kon who appears at the end! ๐ |

Missing/skipped content was actually only a minor problem of the arc. The actual problem is the poor storytelling, fights and character writing, which is just as bad as it was in the manga.

Talk about not reading the manga and not seeing how much the anime improved the source material so much
| @Confused_100 With the exception of Squad Zero's portrayal, what else was "improved" in this cour compared to the manga to a significant extent? Most of the fights were rushed as hell, Gremmy vs Kenpachi in particular. Oh yeah we got to see Shinji's Bankai for like less than a minute and it was used against fodder that nobody cared about and who Shinji could've beaten with his Shikai anyway. And the extended fights such as Ichigo versus the Bambis were too short and barely qualify as fights and were more like skirmishes. Even the usual "but the animation!" excuse that folks loved to use in cour one isn't going to fly here since the animation throughout cour two was average at best. Dupe accounts replying "PEAK PEAK PEAK" in every damn episode thread because of one cool moment per episode doesn't mean that the quality of the cour was good. |

| 7/10 Highlight of this season was Rukia's bankai wasn't a fan of most of the one dimensional quincies this season and their quirky personalities. Zero squad getting wiped out just leaves a sour taste in my mouth, I've always had a problem with the powerscaling in Bleach but this takes it to a whole new level. From Ichigo beating Kenpachi in Soul Society to Yamamoto getting disrespected by a clone this joins the list. I just wonder how they plan to make it believable when Ichigo inevitably beats Ywatch will that mean he's the strongest in the verse? |
| That was a wild and amazing finale for cour 2. They went all in on the Zero Division fights for the last three episodes. There are so many subtle pieces I noticed, they really doubled in on the show not tell aspect of many scenes. Very impressive. The Zero Division's hype of power surpassing the Gotei 13 was no joke. I always knew it but this shows it so well. |

Someone didn’t watch final 2 episodes and don’t know that they ended it with zero squad supposedly “winning” says alot about how badly your criticisms are lol lol I have, I stopped a chapter ahead years ago when I dropped it, Decided to pick up the anime and all the bad memories just kept flooding in |
| Ending it in such a cliffhanger was bold, but at least it means cour 3 will surely start with a bang. Senjumaru's Bankai was also 10/10. Liked it so much I didn't even mind the Kon comedic segments at the end of the episode. The bad thing is that I cannot fucking wait for the third season to air! |
 |
| Way better than the manga, but overall still preferred part 1. 7/10 Curious to see how what's left is handled. |
 |
| SENJUMARU'S BANKAI GOSHH!!! MY DUMB BRAIN DON'T HAVE ENOUGH VOCUB TO EXPRESS LOL... THANKS KUBO FOR ADDING THESE ANIME EXTRA and also won't anyone talk about return of great Kon sama? Reminded me of og goofy bleach fillers and to me best part was the music...gosh that composition when Yhwach killed his comrades....it was very tchaikovsky like to me...well i don't understand music...was it by Shiro Sagisu too? |

| That ending was dope. Of course, it will not be the end of Yhwach. He is the main protagonist, so somehow he will be back in the next cour. Two down and two next. I can't wait to 2024. :D |

What the hell was this man. Its was great episode. I was at that bankai man. It was so cool. Really after seeing so many I can say bleach has one of the best fighting scenes in anime. I can't wait for next season there's so much to it. Really it will be cold when aizen comes next season.
| @nimeloverkk A spoiler tag would be nice for those who don't know. |

neffst3r said: @Cestlavie_ Ichigo didn't beat Yhwach alone and you shouldn't talk about future manga events in this thread. Sorry my bad I just kept ranting and forgot where I was |
| Considering the non-Ichibe members of Squad Zero got offscreened in the original manga, I'm not surprised they got more content. But, I never thought it'd be this impressive. Senjumaru's Bankai was truly stunning. I can't wait to see what new changes come to the next part of the story. This cour might've gotten off to a slightly rocky start, with some of the more iconic fights going largely unchanged, but this last 3-episode run has been absolutely incredible. Guess there were some production/budget issues which led to the long-awaited, yet lengthy, return of Kon's Illustrated Shinigami Guide. Not what I expected to see in 2023, but I can accept it at the end of such a great episode. Can't wait for 2024 and the next chapter of this arc! |

| Senjumaru Shutara is so awesome, I love her. |
| The fights were awesome in this episode I loved Senjumaru's scene it was visually the best but the effect the used for Ichibe's brush was really cool too And I might be in the minority but I was happy to finally see Kon lol A pretty good cour, not as good as the previous but the next should be really interesting to see how they end it |
| i think sanjumaru might be a top 3 character from bleach for me, that attack of hers was insane and plus she's sounds so hot. by far the best scene of this cour and the squad zero fights have been so much better than the rest of the fights as well. i can't stop listening to senjumaru's voice bruh. well, i lost bambietta but gained another i guess. very underwhelming cour overall but senjumaru the goat, i would've loved this cour if she was in every episode. also wtf kon lol been a while. |

| if u show me Ichigo breaking the 'cloth' bankai to save Ishida, saving all the others too in the process i will be sooo mad |
