Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen - Soukoku-tan Episode 3 Discussion

Always did find the whole thing with Ukitake and Mimihagi interesting, but when the most explanation we got out of it was just Ukitake briefly explaining how and why he got it, it seemed like nothing more than an asspull, but now with this backstory, it does fill in the missing pieces in the puzzle that we were missing all so long ago. And don't get it mistaken, this isn't just one piece getting filled in, it's like half the fucking puzzle because legit the ENTIRE first half was just Ukitake backstory lmao.

Got to learn how Ukitake and Shunsui met and such, legit if it wasn't for Shinsui eating those sweets in sparing class or whatever, I don't think they wouldn't have been this close lmao. But yeah, then we get to them when they're captains, and central 46 is just annoying the fuck out of him saying that he needs a lieutenant when they KNOW that his previous one died because of his illness... like hello??? Obviously, he did end up getting one, in the form of Rukia, but jeez.

Back to the present with Ichigo and the gang seeing Mimihagi do his thing and keep Reio alive, though only for a while before this dude Ukitake is gonna die. Shunsui already one step ahead of them and went to the GOAT himself, SOSUKE FUCKING AIZEN.

So many years later and dude still has so much aura, like the dude took off ALL his seals after Shinsui took only ONE OFF... LOL.

mimihagi gotta be the most random thing added into the story so far, why has this entire season so far been "you did a move, but aha, i undid your move so it never happened" like even to the point where it happened 4 times in episode 1 alone

yeah i do like bleach, i just think that after setting stakes really well by killing off so many characters the idea of that pretty much going away, it sucks. kinda ruins orihime in retrospect too since undoing an enemys attack was her unique ability
