Bleach: Sennen Kessen-hen - Soukoku-tan Episode 4 Discussion

Nah... Uryu's betrayal of his own friends and especially Ichigo is quite idiotic if I do say so myself. BOTH of their mothers died due to Yhwach's auswählen and BOTH of their fathers are alive and well. Hell, they even know each other and are in the same line of work.

Other than that, this episode is amazing as always!
The spotlight is now between Uryu and Ichigo. Their fight sequence was beautifully animated, I particularly love how the fight initially stated in the building before Ichigo took the fight outside in midair. Despite Uryu's spam-like attacks, Ichigo has dealt with attacks with a more insane proportions, deflecting those arrows were nothing if not for Ichigo holding back.

Ichigo could've stuck down and incapacitated Ishida after the latter was taken aback when he saw that Ichigo was innately capable of utilizing blut, something only a Quincy should usually have. Even AFTER Uryu unleashes his vollständig which looks absolutely immaculate by the way, he was really only able to slightly put a bit of pressure on Ichigo who is still in his default shikai form all this time, WITHOUT bankai or his hollow visor mask.

The real showcase of their power is shown when Uryu and Ichigo unleash their most powerful attack against one another. Vollständig + Sternenstaub vs Non-Bankai, Non-Hollow Visor Getsuga Jujisho. And oh boy is the difference in power incomparable. The Getsuga Jujisho quite literally eats through Uryu's attack and pieces through it before continuously blasting across the sky past the horizon. As Uryu himself said, Ichigo is just too naive and too kind for his own good that he'd go so far as to hold back and restrain himself from directly attacking Uryu which ultimately leads to Ichigo's Skyfall.
