| unohana and zaraki really cold af |

| "Battle is everything." Unohana has such a great voice actress. |
| 4/5 I gotta say, I enjoyed this episode more than others so far. It's certainly not the best episode of this cour but something about the masterclass in direction and animation in the last 10 mins made this my personal favorite this season Kyoraku is appointed as the new squad 1 leader reluctantly but he is already making logical moves to protect soul society from future invasions like releasing the full potential of Zaraki Kenpachi via the first Kenpachi, Unohana. Her reveal was one ive been waiting for a while. It does not make took much sense for her to be a very overpowered being now because of her very timid demeanor before this arc but hey, im not complaining. The fact that she was one of the OG gotei squad member should be justification enough. Ichigo & Renji duo scenes were good. They are bumping through the squad 0 levels pretty easily. There were some important info dump on how each squad zero member play an integral role in the prosperity of the soul world. Next stop is the Zanpaktou dude The Kenpachi feud was the obvious glaring highlight of the episode with it's immaculate frame compositions and movement cutting through scenes, perfectly blending the tense ost in the background. The animation even though mostly stills, was very fluid and gorgeous. The atmosphere and ambience in the mugen also fits perfectly with the scenes being played out I have been enjoying Bleach more recently than the weeks following it's premiere. So many revelations and sequences yet to come and with such care in direction and choreography, i'm eager to consume more |

| Unohana gave me chills. Insane first Kenpachi reveal. Almost as good as Hikifune's glow up. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
Yoarry said: Unohana reveal is one who actually make sense, I'm 100% sure she was planned Yes back in Soul Society arc, in Ken's flashback he finds Yachiru and names after the person he respects most. He takes the Kenpachi name as well even though he wasn't in Gotei 13 A lot of subtle foreshadowing from Kubo that only pan out in TYBW |
| Some nice chill moments as we see Ichigo and Renji recovering with the members of Squad Zero, but the highlight of the episode was of course the reveal that Unohana is actually the first Kenpachi, as she and current Kenpachi clash. Next episode is gonna be a banger after getting a taste of that battle in this episode. Also, congrats to Shunsui for getting a promotion to become the new Captain-General. |
| 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. |
| It's the episode we were all waiting for. Finally the reveal of captine Hikifune true form:  |
| WTF SHOCKING! UNOHANA IS THE ORIGINAL KENPACHI |
 |
| MOMMY KIRIO AHHHHHHHHHHH WHY IS BLEACH FULL OF HOT WOMEN DAWG |
 |
| Unohana so cold that I'm freezing |
| We finally saw the cold blooded Retsu, if they extend the fight between two Kenpachi's there will be alot of bloodshed. |
 |
| Bro what just happened rn Unohana was the first Kampatchi ngl she looked menacing in this episode but imagine how strong and op Kampatchi would be if he uses his Zampacto’s ability’s but anyway Unohana is so fine π© |
 |
| Seeing Unohana finally go all out was amazing! Can't wait for the battle next week!! |
 When you have eliminated the impossible, whatever remains, however improbable, must be the truth. |
| having my favorite bleach fight get animated is a blessing. Much more to see in the next ep. |

| Had the same reaction as Ichigo and Renji to Kirio's upgraded form Good build-up for Unohana vs Kenpachi Kenpachi is essentially a saiyan |
 |
| Unohana gives me straight chills |
| Well it's looking more and more like the rest of the episodes will for the most part just be setting up for the next invasion or whatever |
 |
| Ohh the Kenpatchi - Unohana fight at the end was already incredible in the scans but to see it in anime, it's simply incredible ! π±π |
| My dumb arse got confused with the term "Kenpachi" since I thought they were talking about Zaraki Kenpachi; the battle between Unohana and Kenpachi left me speechless 'cause I had no idea why they were even fighting. I had to look it up to understand this lmfaoooo. Overall, I love how menacing Unohana looks! |

| Oh my god, what a GOATed episode. This has probably been the best airing anime I've seen that's actually lived up to the hype, at least in my books. Every damn episode has been so good, I am left pondering what just happened and wanting more, so many interesting reveals and happenings right now. |
| Kirio goes from cute chubby mother to hot slim mommy in a matter of minutes, you got to respect Tite Kubo for that. I have been waiting to see Unohana vs Kenpachi in the anime for so long, its so satisfying! |
| Retsu’s glare gave me chills holy shit. Kirio hot af. Goated episode |
under”Mebius” is my salvation  |
| The Kenpachi reveal. I always thought it was interesting that Unohana was "a" Kenpachi. Though, I felt the follow-through was a bit lacking. |
