| HELL YEAH BUFF KON IS BACK BABY, next episode is going to be another contender for the best episode of the season |
| Renji and Ichigo are always a funny pair, but yes the Squad Zero members created game changer inventions, so the cooking girl is the one that made the soul transfer possible (in a sense, Kon's mother xD). Unohana vs Kenpachi's 2nd part of the episode was incredible, making him almost die and healing him, Unohana was really scary |
 |
| aight looks like we get Unohana vs Kempachi before Oetsus training, fine by me since i thought this fight was one of the highlights even though i didnt understand what was Unohanas powers, wonder if they ll explain them a bit better |

I like Nimaiya and his harem of Zanpakutos too, he's fun and my fav from Division Zero, but I would leave that for episode 11 if I was the director. |
| Finally it's happening, Unohana vs Kenpachi! And we got some gigachad Kon too, nice. |
 |
| The laid back moments of bleach were always underappreciated and kind of lacking as the series went along so I very much enjoyed the whole first half, the whole kenpachi vs unohana thing was the real show stealer though, I really like that the fight had a creepy undertone and is in such a foreboding place |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| if I'm not mistaken, isn't this the first and last time we see Hikifune as a hottie? |
 |
| Freaking Amazing episode - Zaraki and Unohana! I couldnt wait for this to be animated this one is the real one!!!!! THE REAL KENAPCHIS!!! |
 |
| So Unohana's past is revealed. And yep the long awaited battle is finally here!!! Meanwhile Ichigo and Renji are eating to their heart's content. They need energy to get stronger and off they go to meet the guy who made zanpakto!!! |

| I wonder again how this can be so absurd, if Unohana was always that strong why she never did anything in 500 manga chapters, never against the ryoka, never against Aizen, the Arranchar, the Quincy. The only reason for this was to give Zaraki a power up. That's why I think it's the worst arc, for all the plot conveniences. |

That's why I think it's the worst arc, for all the plot conveniences. not really much to say, its explained that she is under orders to remain in her barracks in case of invasion, she really cant do anything to Aizen since she is also under Kyouka Suigetsus influence, i guess she did went to Hueco Mundo but didnt find an oponent before getting trapped, i dont think its a particularly good explanation but its what we got an to be fair some characters like Kyoraku have been giving hints that she is dangerous since Soul Society arc that aside, she was never supposed to be an important character |

About Kyoraku I understood it as she was scary when she gets angry. Which can happen with anyone without needing to mean that this person is really strong or a murderer. |

Renji feels like a different person when he became a talkative critique earlier lol, even Ichigo was weirded out... lmao. Where are the others though? Where's Rukia...?! (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ P.S. I didn't expect the squad captain for the healing squad to be stronger than... lol 🤣😂🤣 oh yeah Bleach is getting bigger and bigger |
Yes, what the~ are you looking at you three... |

| The beginning with it's comedic scenes reminded me a lot of old Bleach, especially with Ichigo and Renji involved it never gets boring. I was kinda shocked when Kazuho and Kazuhiro took off their special bathing robes which then bursted into flames. Not to mention that both were badly covered in burns. Hard to believe that Ichigo and Renji were able to bathe naked in the White Bone Hell as well as in the Blood Pond Hell like it was nothing. Tenjiro himself was amazed at how much potential both posses. Even more so in Ichigo's case, who out of reflex broke Tenjiro's fist when he punched him. Kyoraku getting appointed as the new Captain-Commander of the Gotei 13 and captain of the 1st Division, was a pretty obvious choice. I had such big grin on my face when he mentioned, that he intends to teach Zaraki Zanjutsu, because he's such an important asset in battle. What caught me completely off-guard, was not only the fact that Unohana is the one handling this matter concerning Zaraki, but also that she's the first Kenpachi. Who would have thought that Gatonden represents the kitchen area. Again, lots of comedy between Ichigo and Renji which is always welcomed. I'm glad that I already ate before, because the food looked so freaking delicious. Apparently, it also tasted so good, that Ichigo and Renji both briefly mutated into Luffy and Goku lol. I was very pleasantly surprised by Kirio's transformation, if you know what I mean. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Kirio told Ichigo and Renji a little bit more about the background of Squad 0 and that every single one of them created something important for the Soul Society. In Kirio's case a temporary soul (Gikon). I can't wait the get more information about Nimaiya, the creater of the Zanpakuto. In the second half Unohana's identity got fully revealed and the very intense fight against Zaraki started. Unbelievable that she was part of the original Gotei 13. There really was someone that strong amongst today's captains. Why didn't she fight against the Sternritter or even way before that? It's kinda weird, if you ask me. Compared to what we used to see of her, she acts, talks and even looks like a completely different character. I'm also not totally sure why either Zaraki or her has to die. Isn't this supposed to be training for Zaraki? Anyways, another very solid episode this week. Looking forward to the next one. |

| the part i've been waiting for to be animated for the longest time...The Battle of Kenpachi! lets FN go!! |
| My goat Ichigo-kun man service. Damn. Kirio-san is so hot. I didn't expected that transformation seriously. 😂😮😮 I didn't read the manga but I always saw that panel of Unohana-san. But damn she's the first Kenpachi!!! 😮😮 Zaraki vs Unohana next week! Hope the fighting animation would be great like last battle. |

| Superb OST right there! Another episode that felt like a minute only. I was wondering how the name Yachiru felt so familiar and then I remembered Kenpachi gave that name to his lieutenant. I love Kubo’s foreshadowing. Next week’s gonna be an emotional ride but super stoked for the fight. |
Vooo said: Freaking Amazing episode - Zaraki and Unohana! I couldnt wait for this to be animated this one is the real one!!!!! THE REAL KENAPCHIS!!! I did not reallty get what happened at the end? Did she bring him back from near death? Cause him to have an illusion? |
| Scary Unohana, she is a menace :D |
 |
| Lol finally buffed Kon appeared in the anime after he didn't appear in the previous episode. I thought the Unohana vs Zaraki fight would go on longer but well it ended in a cliffhanger. All the more reason to look forward for the next episode! |
 |
| Looks like the head captain had a backup plan in place should he ever fall in battle. Have to say squad zero does do things in extreme ways. Those baths though really were something though. Looks like even within the society there's endless squabbles with the politicians. Well logically after healing of one's injuries the next step would be to recover by eating food. But damm the portions they were presented were huge. So in a way squad zero's members while being powerful reapers are also trailblazers famed for advancing the society's tech huh. And the tragic but necessary dual between Kenpachi and Unohana is finally here as well. The joy the two had i felt contrasted well with the sorrow that Isane and Yachiru must have been feeling upon finding out what was happening. |
