| Lol! Urahara trolling Mayuri by panicking all 'don't cut the line! I'm about to reveal how awesome I'm!' while in reality, he was just messing with Mayuri. Pretty classic Urahara to mess with someone and especially doing so to Mayuri who already hates Urahara for being a bit better than him. (Which Urahara likes to bring out, much to Mayuri's annoyance.) Luckily Mayuri still agreed over the fact they could use his lab...talk about desperate times, because in any other scenario? I bet Mayuri would have flatly refused Urahara. (Which he probably knew very well.) Those bugs they used...reminded Mayuri's caterpillar/baby Zanpakuto...I suppose it made sense those would, but even so...ugh. ^^' Omg! Mayuri's sunflower outfit was pulsing like a pretty rainbow. (I swear if I won't see some lgbt+ gifs or pictures of the Mayuri motif in that outfit, I think it'll be a small crime. The opportunity is just too delicious to pass by.) I loved how Mayuri and Urahara were talking with each other about how Quincies basically fear Hollows and the fact Mayuri was all but measuring down Urahara. While Urahara was his usual, laidback self. Despite that, he appeared all serious, which I bet Mayuri saw. Even so...it was an interesting scene. Very informative and two geniuses measuring each other down (or at least Mayuri was. Hard to write about Urahara.) The tables really turned in this episode in Shinigamis' favor, thanks to Urahara and Mayuri! And the rest of the 12th Division members' help. Despite the fact Soi Fon's Bankai is a bit clunky and big, the animation of firing it and its bullet hitting BG9 was very cool. And once again it showed despite the fact Soi Fon's and Omaeda's relationship is a bit difficult, they work very well as captain and lieutenant. It's kind of unfortunate, though, Soi Fon's Bankai didn't seemingly change when it got briefly hollowfied...unlike Hitsugaya's. I think Toshiro's hollowfied Bankai looked very cool! Not to mention, talk about rude, Cang Du! For not believing Zanpakuto could be a spirit of its own mind...then again, I suppose it makes sense he wouldn't believe in such thing as Quincies don't have Zanpakuto spirits or generally their own, special weapons. They just have unique powers, thanks to Yhwach... when considering that, it's a bit ironic getting 'superpowers' from mighty Quincy King makes sense and is alright, but when it's about Zanpakuto spirits, it's about faith? Oh well, I suppose it's about what one is used to. Let everybody believe in what they want to...though Toshiro truly showed the mightiness of Hyorinmaru! Not to mention, it made me snicker a bit when Toshiro apologized he couldn't make a pentagram out of Cang Du... Yes, yes, yes!! I knew it was teased we would see Shinji's Bankai and now we finally saw it! (In manga it wasn't shown.) And man, what a treat it was! Thought it was a short clip, it was still very awesome to see Shinji's Bankai in the anime. So happy we got to see it because I always found it a bit unfortunate we didn't see certain captains' Bankais in the manga... Not to mention, the music that hit each time Shinji was on screen? *Chef's kiss.* Classic Shinji which made the viewer feel all smoooth, When Yhwach granted his Sternritters their Quincy Voll Stern Dich (or more like allowed them to use those once again), those looked actually very pretty. Each Sternritters' color seemed to be different, making them all stand out and be just...pretty. Yeah, deadly, but pretty. It was nice this episode had a bit more colorful spots here and there, giving more life to the episode. While the color palette, red and light blue hues are all nice and show the viewer nicely both sides...those spots of color? It was welcomed, at least from my side. And once again at the very end, we saw Ichigo struggling his way to that torii gate. That glimpse of Soul King...I wonder if Ichigo will find out the 'truth' about Soul King and if yes...how will that change him? Also! Finally, in the next episode, Komamura will get his chance to shine! |

| They're still using so many stillframes and aftermath of their abilities instead of actual smooth action scenes. Well, Shinji was still a badass with his bankai against Bambietta. And yeah, Yhwach obvly has a counterplan against the Soul Reapers once again. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Finally we were able to see Shinji's Bankai. Soul Reapers were thinking that the tables have turned but Stern Ritters came out with a power up. Looking forward for good animated fights. |

| SHINJI WEEK SHINJI WEEK THIS IS THE WEEK OF SHINJI and gundamn did it deliver! |

| VERY GOODINGTON!!!!SLIMEBALL |
| Feel Shinji's Bankai scene could have been a bit longer, but the rest of the episode was nice. I liked the extended fights with Cang Du and Mask and Bambietta was very cute. |
 |
| Shinji’s bankai is very scary. |

| Me gusta este anime. |
 |
| broo i want actionnnn cmonnnnn |
 |
| urahara is my fave character from this show so i'm glad he got some focus but ngl, i was getting bored this episode. shinji got the best treatment this episode though, the 2 seconds of comic book art style and the music during the scene where he was messing with bambietta was cool. welp, yet another surprise for the gotei 13 at the end. |

| Them crosses at the end, looks like Yhwach triggered the Third Impact |
| This cour sucks compared to the previous one imo. 3 episodes in and everything's been average at best, especially this episode. Kisuke's explanation about how that black pill worked took way too long and the action sequences that followed were too short by comparison. Also all that hype about Shinji getting an anime-exclusive fight in this cour only for it to last less than a minute was like a slap to the face, but was made even worse because his Bankai is so ridiculously impractical since he can't use it when his allies are around and it's totally useless in a 1-on-1 fight. He was cursed with what is possibly the worst Bankai in the franchise... |

He was cursed with what is possibly the worst Bankai in the franchise... I wouldn't call it the most useless one. Its banned for a reason (being impractical and dangerous), but also because its OP. If we went for that logic of 1 vs 1 combats, then Shuhei would be worse since his Bankai doesn't inflict damage. |

| It's always a good time when you have Urahara in the episode It was cool seeing Shinji's Bankai in the anime finally, felt like a weird song choice in the background but maybe that was just to add to the bizarre feeling of it all Another good episode with lots of action and the post credits scene with Ichigo was awesome |
| Shinji taking that hollowfication tablet seems like a plothole... He is a Visored after all, his bankai shouldn't have been stolen, just like Ichigo's wasn't. |

He is a Visored after all, his bankai shouldn't have been stolen, just like Ichigo's wasn't. So the Visoreds weren't immune to losing their bankais before the black pills appeared. |
Wooow Shinji Bankai finally, the best non-manga scene in the entire series... I hope there will be more scenes of Cang Du and BG9 so I can see their Vollstandig. |

| This episode was like 3 minutes long. Ichigo doesn't seem to be getting very far on his little garden path. Gotta admit I'm not mad at topless sweaty Ichigo. I don't even feel like a pervy old lady staring at a high schooler any more. :D |
| I can't say anything but another great episode. Shini's bankai is the highlight. |
 |
| I really hope this new power the Quincies just activated makes sense, especially in relation as to why they stole those bankai's to begin with. If they had this power all along & never needed the bankai's, it'll be really dumb. If they just say "oh we never needed them anyway, as this power is better!" then it'll just make everything that came before look incredibly stupid. Outside of that, I really enjoyed the episode. I don't have any complaints YET, even though the animation isn't quite as good as last season. I expect that'll change when we get into the bigger battles, so no problems there! |

landofthekwt said: a way was found to return the Bankai but it allowed the Quincey to use a sealed power Counter to counter to counter at the moment. |
| Sagisu's OSTs are so god-like. Kokorowagurasu said: Shinji's bankai has a blunt circle. He just smashed that guy's neck with it.Anyone else feels like they’re dialing down on the gore and violence? Like Shinji seems to give one of the Quincies a slash to the neck and no head flew, no blood even |
| Of course Urahara coming in clutch as always. OMG SHINJI BANKAI!!😭 That OST during Shinji and Bambi scene was Amazing. Damn Ichigo only shows up in after credits scene, twice in a row now. |
 |
| Shinji finally gets his time to shine, nice to see his mind-bending Bankai in action. |

| How Shinji's shikai effects were portrayed was the highlight of this episode. I liked it far back as well when he activated it against Aizen, but this time it looks so psychedelic. Gotta love it. His bankai on the other hand is sick and disturbing in concept but wasn't animated well enough...for seeing it the first time. Hitsugaya's bankai returning was the definition of the rule of cool. God dawn. |
