this arc actually made me realize bleach is one of the most mid shonen ever in terms of story.

In terms of storytelling I would say. The story is there and it's great. The lore, world-building, fights etc. are all top tier. It's just Kubo's ability to write a progressively good story that it's awful.

Been waiting for this fight to be adapted for a while now and it certainly did not disappoint

Gremmy vs Kenpachi has always been my favorite bleach fight and I was dying to see it get animated. Not perfect but it managed to grasp the atmosphere & theme of this particular bout. The animation was fluid and eye-catching at times. Tanjiro's VA did his thing. Kenpachi's shikai was sick and to think that no BANKAI were used in this episode is crazy to think about ~~

Underwhelming. Of course adapting 9 chapters would be a bad idea in a normal length episode. Kenpachi is my fav character in fiction and of course, like most of this adaptation, it felt rushed and the animation was bare minimum.


You clearly crawled out of someones womb last year. Kenpachi has been on a journey since the earlier eps of bleach around 60 eps or so when he first thought Ighigo. And your saying underwhelming. You good person are a retard

This is the most intellectually dishonest response ever🤣

Why tf are people defending this absurd pacing, these fights have little choreography if any. Waited 10 years for this shit just to be rushed.

Stick to Naruto. It's an unga bunga shounen much easier to comprehend due to its basic themes and lack of any layered storytelling and character writing. The fights are also basic and mundane because they're just elemental beam spams. If you can't stomach Kishimoto's writing at this age, then consider Oda's slightly more developed One Piece instead.

I watched the Bleach anime once and read the manga twice. It’s an awful mess of a story bereft of genuine emotion, consistent theming and quality storytelling. Filled with pretentious nonsense, narrative contrivances, horrendous pacing and awful characterization. It’s one of the worst shonen series ever conceived. The only reason it has any fans at all is because it has an appealing art style. This ridiculous notion from fans that Bleach is some deep, nuanced, mature shonen much better than the rest is complete cope born from the old scars of the old big 3 days. Naruto, One piece and many more are much better.

This has to be the weirdest post I've read here. You read the manga once, hated it, and then you spend precious time of your life reading the entire manga again. And here you are spending precious time of your life watching the anime adaption of a manga you hate, while also spending your time complaining about how shit it is on a forum.

I really hope you're trolling, because if not, you have some serious mental issue.

mental illness is pretty normal with forum users in this day and age.  though not constant, people like this now deleted user are usually writing things like this to vent their frustration in their normal life where they have no outlet for their emotions. best to just check the signs and move on, don't give them thought in response. best thing you can do for them is ignore them or post something like i am, lime lighting their issues. doing this in grove as a society will let them introspectively change their actions, behavior, and possibly even seek mental help.

Let's go Zaraki Kenpachi is back in action and let's just say his return was sudden actually. I thought his entry would be a little more climatic.

His opponent really reminded me of Cid Kagenou from Eminence of the Shadow for some reason.

Seeing Yachiru talk after a long time was a rarity in itself, but seeing her fight for a brief moment is all I could've asked for. Still, the adorable little devil she is!

Here comes Gremmy with his Visionary ability, The power of imagination is limitless as many would say, the more creative the person is the more powerful the power. I believe Gremmy when he said he's the strongest, that is if he had better imagination. In his defense, this kid knows some concepts of human technologies like guns, missiles, and the concept of space, however, that alone is still elementary compared to what humans could come up with. A meteor? Why not a black hole? A gamma-ray burst? How about the motherfucking BIG BANG?! Alright if those are outside his realms of imagination, how about he just bring up some nuclear bombs from the human world? It's already been around for decades. 1 of them could rival Genryuusai's bankai, and the world got thousands of them.

Grammy's loss is due to partly his limited imagination. Despite the limitless capabilities that his power possesses, his own ability to imagine is not limitless.
However, let's be real here...

Kenpachi Zaraki is just built different!!!
Isn't it ironic how the first enemy Kenpachi fights against is someone who uses imagination when he just got out of training to shatter his own imagination that suppresses his power in battle?
Gremmy just has to fight Kenpachi, does he? He picked the single most absurd entity within the vicinity to be his opponent. The fight is over the moment he acknowledges Kenpachi's monstrosity. The user of this Visionary schrift should be imaginative yet logical. Something which Gremmy is not. And for that, the price he has to pay is his demise.

Kenpachi's Nozarashi is awesome, what's even cooler than that is his attitude, he seems calmer outside of battle now. Quincies are about to have a very very bad day.

Finally the battle between Gremmy and Kenpachi. Kenpachi still badass and a very competent fighter despite Gremmy's powerful ability. Despite Gremmy's onslaught, especially imagining outer space to attack with against Kenpachi, the man appeared rather unfazed and still kinda enjoyed the fight. I believe the most entertaining part on that battle was Kenpachi releasing his Shikai and destroying Gremmy's meteor. One little gripe I had was that the Kenpachi vs Gremmy battle was a bit anticlimactic at the end. We also had the opportunity to see Yachiru's Shikai, and a very unique one indeed for a typical Shikai.

The gremmy fight was crazy they cut out some dialogue that didn’t fit so I was happy as it felt weird for people like jugram to be shutting them selves over the meteor and askin to be worrying about it.

Reply to deg
the power to turn imagination into reality is not gonna win against Zaraki too eh what a monster

cannot Gremmy just imagine Zaraki as dead forever or has no existence like what he did to Vanishing Point Quincy? or that is too much for his imaginative power or brain power?
@deg actually the vacuum space should've worked if he stays out of zaraki's reach.. but of course he didn't because the author needs zaraki to win at all costs. it's just like that trope in movies where a villain hold a gun over the protagonist but stays close so the protagonist may eventually turn the table against him

Holy shit Kenpachi's shikai was beautiful, i don't think i could ask for a more amazing situation for his Shikai's first appearance then to cut a fucking meteor in half. The build up was insane as well, i was holding my breath the entire time thinking there was no way Kenpachi was actually just gonna cut a whole meteor by himself, then he said his Shikai release line and i fucking lost bro.
The scene of him holding Nozarashi in all it's glory with the flaming remains of a meteor passing by was gorgeous.

Ngl on paper Gremmy's power of imagination sounds incredibly strong, but i guess is limited to his energy since he had to make clones, and the power of imagination sounds like a double edge sword. You'd probably need incredibly strong mental otherwise the slightest bit of doubt can actually straight backfire against you. I remember hearing that, you can't be 100% certain about anything, you can be 99% sure but there'll always be 1% of doubt in that thought which i guess can apply here pretty well.
In Gremmy's case although he kept thinking he could win, Kenpachi kept eating his attacks and living, so that doubt that maybe Kenpachi really was a monster and unkillable slowly grew larger which led to his loss.
I guess another factor would be it sounded like Gremmy was inexperienced, he talked about how "no one could ever challenge him from the start" and "i've never thought about defeating anyone before" so it leads me to believe Gremmy hadn't been in a lot a fights, where else Kenpachi is a killing machine and has probably been fighting since he gained sentience.

Gremmy Thoumeaux, a worthy opponent. That’s generally one of the greatest fictional powers I’ve seen. Literally being able to make fantasy into reality. That’s pretty F***ING COOL BRO! And the fact he can create clones of himself with said power and multiply it makes it have even more potential…

But alas, it was time for Kenpachi Zaraki to showcase what he’s gained by learning the name of his Zanpakuto, which is Nozarashi, which turns into a giant ax and Kenpachi claims it can cut anything. Will he eventually learn Nozarashi’s Bankai down the line or will he still remain the only Squad Captain in the history of the Soul Society without a Bankai…

It was crazy to see that Gremmy was literally just a brain and even his physical human-like form was merely a figment of his imagination.
