| I know this season focused a lot on captains but it's also great to see Ikkaku and Yumichika fighting together just like the old days. Shuhei also taking some care of business too. Shinji is still a badass this arc, especially in his confrontation with Bambietta. Same with Toshiro as he hasn't lost his touch all these years. Quite a thrilling episode imo. |
 |
| Urahara's plan was quite ingenious. The Shin'eiyaku tablets effectively nullify the Quincy medallions, so even if a Shinigami's Bankai is stolen, it can be returned to them. It was a clever way to level the playing field against the Quincy, who had been using their medallions to great effect. I also enjoyed the parallel that Urahara drew between Bankai and Arrancar's Resurrección. Both are powerful transformations that give the user a significant boost in power, but they also come with a certain amount of risk. If a Shinigami or Arrancar is not careful, they can lose control of their Bankai or Resurrección, and that can be very dangerous. I was expecting more with Shinji's Bankai.. Still, it was effective. Also him messing around with Bambietta was goofy of him lol. Looking forward to Ichigo’s training more, flashes are throwing at him. |
| I like the banter between Urahara and Mayuri, but it’s fair to say them being one-sided affairs of Urahara teasing Mayuri lol. By the way, Mayuri in that golden getup talking all serious was kind of hilarious on its own. Anyways, Urahara came back in soul society and with a cutting edge discovery at that… the black pill which would help those who lost their bankai get their rightful property back and in turn turning the part which sternritters possess fucking poison. Soi Fon one-shotting the sternritter with her bankai in all glory was great, but Toshirou unleashing the full extent of Hyorinmaru and blasting Cang Du away was the real deal. That looked as good as it used to, with classic Bleach OST working in the background, and transitions didn't feel jarring this time. Though did not think they’d include SHINJI’S BANKAI… Sakashima Yokoshima Happofusagari. Shinji’s bankai was the highlight but we had the scene for a brief moment itself…:( Before he went on to take on the real deal, that is Bambietta. That fight is something to look forward to the most, but before that as expected we got reminded not everyone is down yet. Yhwach with that last minute move of his.. damn. Again Ichigo cliffhanger to conclude the episode.. just let him back. |
 |
| Let's fucking goooo the Captains are getting their Bankai back. Soi Fon and Hitsugaya took care of business but the real treat was seeing Shinji's Bankai. It was unforunately brief and I definitely wish we saw more but I'm glad we at least got something out of that. The whole acid trip-esque sequence during Shinji's confrontation with Bambietta was cool too. Yhwach is always scheming though and always seems to have a trick up his sleeve, the Soul Reapers aren't in the clear just yet against the Quincies. Ichigo once again with just a post-credit appearance but the quick cuts of those visions was interesting. |
| 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 nice to see Captains getting back in their top forms. Bankais are still some of the coolest in this show and once again we were able to witness that. Shinji was very cool in this episode. Love Soi Fon and Hitsugaya's fight was really nice as well. Once again, the episode was pretty good. The soundtrack usage was really nice as well. The best episode IMO of the second cour so far. Leaving us on such a cliffhanger like that with Ichigo. |
 |
| This week's episode was so, SO MUCH better than episode 2 (15) Urahara and Mayuri finally about to team up and work together to be MVPs as we know from the manga, Hitsugaya recovering Hyorinmaru, Soi Fon being fucking badass, SHINJI'S BANKAI (yes) looks cool as hell, Shinji vs Bambietta, good direction with the right OST choices, a bit more of sakuga... After credits scene showing The Original Sin? Whew, tbh I was kinda disappointed with episode 2 but this one gave back all my hope. |
| Mild concern after that "Recap" |
  |
| I enjoying Kurotsuchi feeling super smart, then Urahara appearing and doing an "Actually.". And giving a pat on the back for the lab idea. I wonder how much range Shinji's bankai have. I'm trying to remember if in the manga, Ichigo had that moment that he could become |
 |
| peak moment again omg, shinji's bankai was pretty cool also music too. the real game just start here |
| They did Shinji so much justice I'm glad. The Bambi and Mask scenes were great too. Kisuke and Mayuri working together would probably make an unbeatable team. |
| Wow, this episode was quite a bit different from the manga I feel like. Loved it. Next week's episode though... If you know you know. |
| i was surprised at how short Shinjis Bankai scene was, had to rewatch that to take a good look of the Bankai, his regular release against the sternritter was a much longer scene |
 |
| Urahara is coming back with a plant to take their bankai back and yes it’s working. Toshiro hitsugaya with his cool attitude can now fight back but the problem is they now activate their own techniques. After ED we see Ichigo nice. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| the bankais are back and no more stealing them but the quincies have power ups too they added the bankai of Shinji too thats cool |
| Was an ok episode. Shinji Bankai was good in isolation as new material but it doesn't compare to any other Bankai reveal unfortunately. Ironically, Shinji's Shikai showcase vs Bambi was the bigger highlight. Nothing to talk about animation wise. Storyboard this episode was realllly good though. Scenes were allowed to run concurrently and with some natural flow. Nothing is rushed. New Ichigo scenes continue to be good additions. |

Mugi20 said: ngl this is definitely THE EPISODE of this batch. Even though Shinji's bankai might be one of the only anime original Things we see this batch cuz the parts where we really need anime exclusive scenes are definitely in the middle of the 3rd batch and forward but please a Ichigo vs Uryu fight will make this batch hella special, they are in this batches poster, them fighting is also in the end of the opening so please let the last episodes be Ichigo vs Uryu lol Definitely not THE EPISODE from this cour. Yes, it was good but nothing like episode 6 or 7 from part one. There are really amazing battles incoming tho. Zaraki Kenpachi: just wait for him. |
| Them using the bankias against the bankais owners is so disrespectful. Urahara as always is saving the day for Soul society. Mayuri and Urahara together are unbeatable. Shinji was incredible in this episode. His bankai was something else. This was his episode. I love the song they were using during his second fight. Also, the ost they were using for his first fight. Noo way, they got more power ups. I cannot believe this. Just when I thought the Shinigamis had the upper hand. Ichigo is still going ongoing training. |
 |
| Nice to see the ultimate form of threat for the whole being of Quincies. Hollows? lol Looks like Ichigo is gaining some weird, old or ancient or past memories of someone per step that he gets. I want to know what will happen next but I need to wait again for another week. Ugh... this suspense is annoying me... |

| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| Another great episode and finally Shinji used his Bankai |
 |
| Urahara Kisuke is the mvp for real. He found a method for the gotei 13 captains to reclaim their bankais back. With a new added touch of hollow. Hollowfy bankai for the win. It was so nice to see a brief glimmer of hope. The gotei 13 captains strike back! Finally get to see Shinji Hirako use his bankai to the fullest potential. His bankai is OP. He gave Bambietta a run for her money temporarily. Making all her movements inverted. When all things was going well, yhwach pulled out a trump card. All the stern ritters got a power up. And Bambietta is looking fire as hell with that glow up. |
 |
| Really amazing plan by Urahara wow, Also its nice to finally see Shinji's bankai and its really OP. |

He's the best director of Gintama who directed Gintama' 2011 and was also involved in other seasons of Gintama and directed also Oosamatsu-san. I hope they will bring him back to other episodes |
