My favorite part of this fight is that Kubo saw the design they did for Kyoraku's zanpaktou spirit in the old filler and decided "I like that. I'm gonna keep it."
@Red_Ranger_Wien Kubo made those designs for the rebellion filler arc. Every Zanpakuto spirit was designed by Kubo.

It was a nice episode 4/5 to me.
Kyoraku is a type of cliché character I'm not a big fan of, also I don't like so much this kind of powers made uberpowerful /still the child's play shikai is interesting/ but I really liked how they adapted his bankai for the anime.

To me this was one of the most challenging things about watching an anime like this years after the end of the manga, they were able to keep this stuff interesting, imho, they depicted it with that gold color, a sort of raditonal 'sumi-e' style etc.

I am curious to know who's gonna be the main fighter in the next episode, maybe Kisuke?

a rich tapestry of high culture that's unique to Bleach especially as a shounen


So how come kabuki theatres which were attended by common folks and wealthy merchants be high culture? Aren't the horn of gabriel and the day of judgement, some of the most well known aspects of christianity?
Although if you are talking about high arts from a cultural or aesthetic point of view rather than a societal one, then you wouldn't be wrong but then how would bleach be any "unique" in that aspect when even run-of-the-mill shonen like black clover have these type of elements?

Really the example episode for "how many asspulls and how much talk-no-jutsu does it take to actually kill someone and do they actually stay dead?"

Come on this was one of the good bleach fights.

Nice try though. Should have used it in /a/ instead. Maybe then one of your other brethren would have supported you.

Yes mal ratings!! The rating system where every other season a new anime makes it to the top 50 is reliable indeed!!! The site where users would give every entry of their favourite a 10/10 while giving 1/10 to other top entries is of such high merit!!!

And "mid:zero" in shambles? Are they in this thread right now?

@deg I've been complaining about this for a while, that's the dumb UNO reverse card bullshittery that I dislike about Bleach, this isn't new in shounen but Bleach takes this bullshit to a whole new other level and gets pretty retarded.

The animation is great and all, but I'm just not a fan of this UNO reverse card bullshit.
@xZabuzax that's one of the things I don't get about the reception of this arc. All they say is "peak this, peak that" but the fights are poorly one dimensional. Unlike the previous arcs they at least had "bruh" jokes in between and had good trash-talking. TYBW has neither.

@Gator As someone from that area fo study, it just really doesn't translate well if you are not familiar with japanese games and theater plays. People outside Japan are destined to kinda just look at it and go "Oookaaay...?? What was that all about? lol", and that's comprehensible.

Someone wrote a deep dive a while ago about it on a post, if you are curious about the content, however.

Wow two good episodes back to back, perhaps I judged this season too soon. I hope the remaining episodes of the season are as interesting as episodes 8 and 9.

Shunsui's Bankai Katen Kyokotsu Karamatsu Shinju is finally here! It is a play with four acts first the enemy will share the same damage with Shunsui then he is infected with an incurable disease from regret and then he will throw himself into deep water where his spirit pressure would also drown. In the final act, Shunsui ties a rope onto Lile Barro's throat and makes his head explode. What a great fight, Shunsui even with his Shikai can match with Lile Barro playing red light green light, the first to be caught moving will die. It's great to see his Zanpakuto spirit Ohana again after the filler in the original Bleach.

Things just get more and more crazier. It’s insane. I still don’t completely understand Kyorako’s bankai, but I know that it was definitely a performance. Very entertaining to watch, and I hope to seem more hype in the next episode. (9/10)

I can't get used to these abstract bankais lol

Behold of my awesomeness~
controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted.
But my feels.

That fight was something, and I’m glad that we got to see Shunsui’s Bankai, Kantenkyokotsu: Karamatsu Shinju.

I thought at first that Lille Barro’s ability was completely broken, but it so happens that Shunsui’s Bankai is just the match for it, because he was able to reflect the damage and trap him. Shunsui’s Bankai features Act 1: Tameraikizu Wakachiai, Act 2: Zankai no Shitone, and Act 3: Dangyo no Fuchi and the Final Act: Itokiribasami chizome no Nodobue. Within this we get to see the physical form of his Bankai, O-Hana, who seems to have quite the relationship with Shunsui.

Well, Barro has been dealt with, what’s next? Will Rukia be forced to use her Bankai again. Speaking of, will Byakuya get his Bankai back, since he wasn’t there when Kisuke helped everybody else get their Bankai? Will Ichigo use his Bankai soon?

A lot of unanswered questions…

Shunsui's powers are a more brutal Squid Game lol. Seeing the Captain Commander's Bankai in action and taking out the annoying sniper Lille was the best place to debut it.

My boys Askin and Grimmjow got some screentime, we take those lol.
