Ichigo’s on a home tour though not because he wanted to but was forced, as the time calls for that long overdue flashback about how he came into existence, and about his shinigami father, Isshin. Watching this series for the first time, and always having Isshin doing the shinigami tricks from time-to-time was somewhat confusing as they never ever gave him a concrete background back then, and that’s the more reason this flashback stands as one of the most important plot points in the story.

Isshin being the captain of 10th division shouldn’t come as a surprise given he’s the father of our protag, and so is his goody nature of meddling in the matters he shouldn't have because again.. though that’s the very way he met Masaki, Ichigo’s to-be mother, a quincy by nature. I mean this again establishes the fact, each and every thing happens according to the will of the man who goes by the name of Aizen Sosuke. Him being in his glasses persona and quoting the ever famous, “All according to plan”, again owned this episode.

Anyways there’s still things to this flashback, so now to see where they’ll conclude this in next week’s one-hour special. On a side note, Bleach just never ever disappoints with its women( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Reveal of Ichigo's mother and she's apparently a quincy. The segment between Isshin vs White was beautiful, the flame animation along with the ost is a top notch

the backstory of the parents of Ichigo so ye Ichigo is a mix of Shinigami, Quincy and Hollow

mixed race is better than pure blood

the animation quality drop to average this time though but still has some nice strong still drawings

The episode was nice but I sure as hell didn't like the plot armor that Ichigo's mom had. That crazy Hollow was hell-bent on killing anyone with his weapon thingie, the Hollow 1 shotted the previous guys in 1 move, and instead of 1 shotting Ichigo's mom with the weapon, he decided to bite her instead, this didn't make any sense.

I don't remember this part well in the manga, I don't know if he bit her to steal her powers or whatever but if the only reason he bit her is due to plot armor and nothing else then that part was shit. Pretty nice episode though.

I do miss the OST from the old Bleach, it was one of the best soundtracks out there and managed to hit me in the feels a couple of times but the new OST isn't that good, unfortunately. I need a good OST to really feel it in my veins, if the OST is lack luster then I'm not able to enjoy the moment that much.
