| Grimmjow chasing Askin is gold, just like I imagined would be like when animated LOL. Lille Barro is living up to his hype and role in his position. About time Renji met Uryu and didn't hesitate to fight him. I still remember his first battle against Uryu from the very first season. This episode's soundtrack, momentum, and overall vibe was very intense. Also very impressed by how much Renji has improved over this time. |
 |
| We really do need more of Kenpachi and Mayuri’s interactions lol. As I mean both are kind of really extremes in their own way. Though fun and light stuff aside, it wasn’t really a stroll in the park which the stuff with Grimmjow might have lead us to believe when all of these people landed in Yhwach’s soul palace and wanted to do what they wanted to do. People are literally getting sniped every walking minute after all. I mean that was to be expected but still, watching that was actually pretty sad. Renji against Uryu was once again one of those fights which I think this adaptation kind of improved upon. Uryu is anyway too full of edge so yeah, he deserved a beating. But you know the kind of character Renji is, and the way the author has written him, he always ends up taking the short end of the stick. He did his best but yeah, it is what it is. Being a professional “jobber” for a reason:( |
 |
| Yeah, I knew it was too good to be true after Renji had won that one fight last cour. |
 |
| It's crazy that every fight in this cour is anime-original so far, and each one is sooo good. I can't wait for Baby, Theatre, and Friend. |
| As party composition goes, Zaraki have the one I like to most, Zaraki as tank/DPS, Yumichika/Ikakku as DPS, and Yamada as healer. Damn this aimbot. So cool, Renji's Bankai. |

| This is by far the best looking episode of the entire TYBW. Even better than episode 6/season 1. The camera angles are breathtaking. Even when there isn't an ongoing fight, the anime still makes an effort to show the scale of Wahrwelt. Grimmjow chasing Askin is a good example. I don't care if it's CGI, it looks incredible. The fight between Renji and Uryu is a masterpiece as well. The anime did not need to go that hard on this fight. It's not just the amazing animation, it's the clean art, the insane camera angles, the perfect transitions between stillness and movement, and the music. Everything married together perfectly. There were some really great moments in the fight where the camera would slow down to show the immensity of what was going on, then pick up again as the fight increased in pace. The music at the very end when Uryu used sklaverei was so beautiful and eerie. I complained hard during season 1 and 2 that Jujutsu Kaisen was getting the better adaptation but this episode has definitely changed that. Genuinely a 10/10 episode and this cour has been superb so far. |

| Holy hell, almost an entire episode of anime original content featuring Renji fighting Uryu and using abilities never seen before. Unlike Ichigo vs Uryu, the intent was to kill here, and Renji almost killed Uryu on multiple occasions. As fun as it is to meme about him being the resident jobber, he deserves credit and we're actually being shown his growth post-royal training outside of just a one-sided stomp against Mask. A very much welcomed and needed episode dedicated to Renji. In the end, Uryu was just too hax. Also, note how the two never referred to each other by their names in battle. They called each other "Shinigami" and "Quincy", totally detaching themselves from their shared history ever since the Soul Society arc. Shit is getting intense. |

| @TheBladeIsMe Uryu said that Renji was holding back and not trying to kill him though. |

@TheBladeIsMe Uryu said that Renji was holding back and not trying to kill him though.
| @lucjan Yeah possibly, but Renji's dialogue implied otherwise to me. If Uryu's intuition is correct though, it makes me wonder if Renji could've outmatched him with sheer power like Ichigo. |
| After both the Ichigo advanced squad and the Gotei 13 arrived in this final battleground last episode, this episode it's time to duke it all out! So this is where that OP scene of Askin running away from Grimmjow is from, come to think of it, Askin really loves to dip out of any threat he perceives lol. And of course, I can't forget the main spotlight of this ep, Renji vs Uryu. It's quite a strange feeling to see Uryu who used to stand with Ichigo fight against Renji who used to stand against them. This time it's the other way around. These two guys are fighting it out to be Ichigo's boyfriend lmao nah jk. Amazing fight as always, Bleach supremacy! |
  |
| A really good episode. We have finally entered the battlefield and it's just getting started. While Grimmjow is down for now, Renji was fighting his ass off in this fight. He was seriously so cool in his fight against Uryu and he was doing so good against him. He could've defeated him if he wasn't hestitaing to not kill him in that fight. But, too bad, Uryu wins this one. Some really cool action sequences in this one and some really cool animation cuts. Really enjoyable episode. |
 |
| Renji has truly come far. From being how he was when introduced to improving as a character in each and every arc with this being the culimanation of everything. Which also meant he has come to care for his friends and couldn't go all out against Ishida. Doesn't make him any less badass though. That was pure fire, literally. Grimmjow though? What are you doing man? |
 |
| There's just something about Zabimaru that makes Renji one of the coolest guys in Bleach... I don't care if people think he's weak or is "Bleach's Yamcha", nah buddy, he's cool as hell. The choreography here was so amazing too, definitely my favorite from cour 3 up until now, I liked more than Ichigo vs Uryuu, I love when animators switch the POV angle in the middle of the fight like they did here, like a "camera change", love it. MOST IMPORTANTLY, NEXT EPISODE IS "BABY, HOLD YOUR HAND" ALREADY?!?!?! MAN, WE TALKING BLEACH TOP 3 FIGHTS IMO, PEOPLE ARE NOT READY. PEOPLE. ARE. NOT. READY. Even Mayuri's poem was fire - Be your own God.  |
| ishida too strong for renji to fight |
| Another amazing episode Good comedy and action |

A truly masterpiece. Anime of the year!
| @Yhwach19977 Undoubtedly. Two great episodes this week in Bleach and Dandadan as well. |
| I love that we got to see even more payoff to Renji's training besides just defeating Mask, Pierrot did an incredible job! Did anyone else notice the Soul Reapers doing the Naruto run near the beginning of the episode, thought that was funny lol. I cannot wait for Baby Hold your Hand, PLEASE MAKE IT TWO EPISODE KUBO AND PIERROT PLSSSSS. |
| This was absolutely PEAK no ther way to describe this. Amazing animation and the ost's god this was perfect |
| I loved the Renji vs Uryu fight, since Uryu finally got beaten to a pulp a bit, but he still won. I'm so eager to see him getting obliterated by someone so bad, since he's been getting on my nerves so bad since the start of this arc. |
| Lille sniping 6(?) of the characters in the span of a minute made me chuckle. W Schutztstaffel. |
Next saturday omgomgomgomgomgomg |
Gotta love a goofy chase scene in between the serious fightings. |
| How much better can Bleach and its animation get ? Is there a limit. Holy shit. |
 |
| Renji was putting in that work this week holy shit. But alas, it’s Renji, and he was against one of the major main characters of the series, so of course the plot demands that he take the L đź’€ still though, this fight was amazing. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
OMG IS THAT A NIGERUNDAYO REFERENCE?? |

| I'm so excited for whatever comes next, this season has been absolutely a masterpiece imo. I read the manga a long time ago, so watching these new scenes is just so ahhhhh, I can't even describe it. 100/10 best episode so far. |
| Don't you guys think that Renji gave a better fight than Ichigo against Ishida? |
 |
| This is so far Renji's best fight. He usually beats fast in many episodes, but I like this fight between him and Uryu. Even though he lost, I loved this fight. The episode was truly amazing |
