I'll be honest, while it was spectacular in both visuals and sound, I certainly expected better pacing and greater care to be taken with this episode, considering it's arguably the fourth or even third most important chapter in the whole war. They sped through Ichigo's arrival (at least they showed how absurdly fast he's gotten) and didn't give enough dead air time to Ishida's betrayal. Also, I disagree with the choice of cutting away from his Getsuga Tenshou and Juujishou - the whole point of those attacks, from Kubo's perspective, was to show Ichigo completely mastered his nearly infinite reiatsu.

Good to see Ichigo's friends reunited, at least. And I hope we don't waste too long with the drama of Ishida's 'betrayal'. But looks like we'll wait a whole lot longer for Ichigo to really show off his new powers.
The anime made it a bit more obtuse, as they sped through a few chapters for this episode, but that little skirmish was supposed to already show a good inkling of Ichigo's true powers - each of these Sternritters could give the captains (except Shunsui and the evolved Byakuya) a run for their money. The stronger ones, like Bazz-B could certainly defeat any captain. Ichigo, on the other hand, manhandled four of them without breaking a sweat, and wasn't fazed even when four more showed up. Also, the scale of Getsuga Juujishou may not have been clear - there has been literally no attack that strong in the series, except Ichigo's own Mugetsu.

ICHIGO RETURNS!!!


This episode was a major dejavu moment. Kubo must love displaying the results of major power ups and having villains casually escape via air

When Ichigo showed back up with Number One playing in the background and started beating the girls with ease, reminded me of the Soul Society arc when Ichigo got stronger and got confronted by the Lieutenants (with Number One playing in the background again), before he beat them with ease. Then what happened at the end? Aizen, Tosen and Gin all got raised in the air and left to go to another location, with all the Captains hurt by their betrayal.

What happened at this ending? Yhwach Ichigo and the Quincy right hand man went up in the air, with Ichigo and the crew showing up, hurt by Uryu’s betrayal. It might just be me but I peeped the similarities lol

As for the episode, we got a little taste of Ichigo’s new power and that OP Getsuga!

I didn’t expect Kenny to go out like that, my man got fried. He just wanted to look for Yachiru

Yhwach that sneaky guy. He was plotting towards the Soul King the whole time, but Squad 0 must have something planned to have left such an opening.

I’ve been waiting for the gang to find about Uryu’s betrayal, but I didn’t expect them to magically appear like that! Chad coming in strong was a sight to see, and Orihime blocking his arrows, you go girl!

Looking forward to what’s to come!

I honestly think the overwhelming power presence of Ichigo was well stated enough the moment all Stern folks ganged up on him, and the scale of him effortlessly using an attack that pulverized the arm of one of them even trying to deflect it was enough in my book for the job.

Finally the main protagonist Ichigo has appeared in Seireitei to help his fellow Shinigami, only to be surrounded by various Sternritter. We finally get to see a kinda improved Getsuga Tenshou and ofc Getsuga Juujishou. Then came the revelation for Ichigo that Uryu has joined the enemy's side. With the path to the Royal Palace now opened due to Ichigo, Yhwach and his Sternritter can now invade it and perhaps deal with the Soul King.

PS: lol that Aizen cameo. Makes me think that the anime staff wanted to remind us of him still there in Muken.

Honestly speaking, this anime actually omits a whole lot of the comedy that was in the manga, but it's nice to see they left at least most of the best comedic bits from the final arc untouched imo. It made for a more balanced and serious experience in my book (but that still has that Bleach touch with the humor).

This battle without the scenes of the bambis trolling Candice wouldn't feel as complete, and adds quite a nice character interaction between them (better than just having them as blood-thirsty warmonger sassy killers... which they still are anyway haha).

I do agree that making for a peak Bleach fun ride!

Unfortunately there was absolutely no tension between Ichigo and those four girls' fight because there was no chance in hell Ichigo would loose. It was only a showcase in the growth of his strength, exactly like Rukias rescue in the past. But damn, that new attack Getsuga Jūjishō really suprised me. So cool.

Also, I couldn't care less about Ishida and his betrayel. So that emotional realisation for Ichigo did nothing for me...sadly. 

The situation we're left in right now could be the start of some amazing fights back to back, but I'm dreading big pacing issues.

I didn't expect to see a magical girl quartet team in Bleach. Complete with a transformation sequence. And one of them is basically a dark version of Orihime.
Speaking of Orihime, what on earth is she wearing?!

How can each episode overtake the previous one like this? Its been like 4 weeks and I am still always hyped and in awe of this anime. Ichigo's theme playing had me squeal like a kid, it was amazing. And my guy finally has a new move after a decade :') They showed some comedy which I sorely missed from this arc.

I just love how Ichigo was toying with the green-haired girl and he even warned her, so it shows that he was really holding back.

I got a bit emotional when Ichigo was shouting at Uryu, he clearly was angry and hurt to see him with Yhwach.

Ichigo is really annoying in this episode. Why is he wasting so much time with those small fries who are clearly no match for him?

Just kill them, or at least injure them to the point of them not being able to move anymore and go on. There is more important stuff to deal with...

Loved Ichigo's entrance back into the scene and his talk with Kenpachi on old times, and i dig the new look. Mayuri called it the "Death-Conquering Garb" which idk what it's suppose to resemble, i just know it looks cool as fuck and the twin Zangetsu's together looks sick.
Also was that a new fucking move Getsuga Jujisho? Holy shit look at that raw pow through it as well, that shit looks so fucking good. They're really selling this new Ichigo well.

I'll admit, out of all the Sternritter's i think the squad of Giselle, Meninas, Candice, Liltotto and Bambietta are my favourite so far. They just feel so out of place and chaotic, yet mildly coordinated and can be stupid funny together on screen. Giselle especially, she's just summons some funny looking skeletons and is kinda a goof on screen and with the other members, ignore the fact she made a squad commit seppuku and honestly i'd say she's my favourite lmao.

So seems Yhwach's main goal the whole time was the Soul palace/ Soul king? He's already seemed to have opened the door, interested if we'll see squad zero fight and what they can do.
Chad and Orihime arrive to the scene, and Ichigo has to witness Ishida teaming with Yhwach which i'm sure is gonna take a lot to stomach. Interested to know what training Chad and Orihime did and why Ishida decided to side with Yhwach.

Where has Yachiru gone? Why did she leave without her clothing?!

Well for now that doesn’t matter as Kenpachi has to deal with Stern Ritter G Liltotto Lamperd, Stern Ritter P Meninas Mcallon, Stern Ritter Z Giselle Gewelle, and Stern Ritter T Candace Catnipp. Despite Kenpachi almost dying against Gremmy, he’s still fighting with all his heart, but it seems that it isn’t enough. Lucky for him, ICHIGO IS FINALLY HERE.

And when he arrives, the four girls immediately jump him as if there’s anything they can do about it, especially considering that he’s the Number One Special Threat! All their attempts at even doing any damage all fail and we get to see Ichigo’s new Getsuga Tensho, which is smaller, but definitely packs more damage. Candace gets impatient and tries to kill Ichigo on her own (I know, she’s completely clueless), but instead we get to see Ichigo debut a new technique called Getsuga Jujisho. It completely blows away her attack and even though Ichigo gave her warning, it cleanly cuts her arm off. Apparently Giselle can take apart corpses to heal her allies which is a nifty zombie-like healing ability.

Yhwach makes his move against the Soul King and Ichigo isn’t having it. Unfortunately, Bazz B and some of the other Stern Ritters decide to come together and jump him. Good thing that Ichigo has Renji, Byakuya, Rukia, Ikkaku, Shuhei, and Yumichika to keep them busy.

This is when he finds out that Uryu has joined his side and since Ichigo sees him as a friend, he hesitates to fight back, but conveniently Chad and Orihime come in to back Ichigo up.

I’m excited to see what unfolds…

Fun seeing those female sternritters get some more action. Ichigo is way too soft on girls. He even warned Candice!

Ichigo shouting for Uryu at the end gave me chills. Even though it's obvious Uryu will eventually betray Ywah.

Orihime has a rather interesting outfit...
