| Plenty of manservice. Though that’s to be expected with an onsen segment with only men around, except it was all for training. Cleared the first stage, not just Ichigo but Renji as well, so what next? Fulling your belly of course. Though it shouldn't come off as an “of course”, given the dudes are training themselves for the next invasion, but yeah that’s the kind of family friendly training arc it is. Chef’s kiss for Kirio’s transformation btw. Though the serious part, that grand coming of age clash between Unohona, the first “Kenpachi” and Zaraki Kenpachi. They reordered the chapters, or more like delayed the meeting of Ichigo and Oetsu, and I think we got a better part or almost most of the fight in the second half itself. Didn’t disappoint with the choreography, and with that Unohana stare as well. It still ain’t the end, the best parts will be coming from here on. |
 |
| Some nice and chill moments between Ichigo and Renji like in the good old days. That food looked really delicious. And, it was great to see Kon back and being with the boys. They sure had a lot of fun with that banquet. Also, there were some milkers. But, the highlight of the episode was the fight between Unohana and Kenpachi which was great. Loved seeing how powerful Unohana actually is. Another good episode. |
 |
| With all the drama and intense fights in this arc so far, I almost forgot how fun the anime can be when there's the light humor. Welcome back Kon. He's like a meme in this franchise but happy to see him again. And lol, Ichigo and Renji had a hell of a meal. Also, daily reminder that Kenpachi is a badass. |
 |
| Amazing episode. As a manga reader they definitely did the Kenpachi scene justice |
| The first half of the episode was classic old Bleach with its comedic bits. Ichigo's, Renji's, and Kon's faces when Kirio Hikifune transformed were hilarious. The hot springs section was pretty short, and I would have liked to see more with that, but the eating section did its job and didn't feel that rushed, though I would have liked them to be there a bit longer as well (and not just because of the eye candy, haha). Kyoraku being chosen as the next squad 1 captain was the obvious choice. Hope he manages to keep Nanao with him. The fight between Zaraki and Unohana should be a sight to behold as it's a fight between two legendary Kenpachis going all out. The sad faces of their lieutenants were heartbreaking to watch, especially with Isane's tears. |

| Finally the Unohana reveal, if it wasn't obvious enough from the flashbacks of OG gotei 13 already. Still a good way to reveal it, love her. Zaraki's training begins and I'm not ready for what's about to happen damn it. Kirio looked hot af slimmed down, Kubo waifus are the best. |
 |
| mother unohana is the mother of mothers |
| FINALLY, UNOHANA'S REVEAL. This episode, like the last one, was pretty decent, Kirio's in her fitness form is a hottie, but episode 10 is what I'm waiting for the most. I mean, we already saw the beginning of Kenpachi vs Kenpachi here, but next one has potential to end up being one of my favorite anime episodes ever IF PROPERLY ADAPTED AND ANIMATED. I just love that battle so much, hope they didn't wasted all the sakuga on Yamaji vs Yhwach.  |

| there it is Zarakis ability is that he is like a Saiyan with Zenkai Boost or the more he is close to being killed the more stronger he becomes later on and oh no the fat lady is actually sexy hot  |
| See Nanao brought a strange happiness to my heart. I was expecting Kirio thin form, but I still broke a sweat seeing her. Yachiru! Unohana showing why everyone respect her. |
 |
Very good episode from the comedic chill moments between ichigo and renji to the unohana and kenpachi scenes.  |

| Ichigo and renji are have a training and now that one of the squad zero is saying ichigo has such a potential what a hype. Unohana and zenpachi are fighting and one of them is dying. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Not bad, not bad at all. The first palace seems to be rushed as well as the second one. I can't wait for the 3rd one! Renji feels like a different person when he became a talkative critique earlier lol, even Ichigo was weirded out... lmao. Where are the others though? Where's Rukia...?! (っ˘̩╭╮˘̩)っ P.S. I didn't expect the squad captain for the healing squad to be stronger than... lol |
Yes, what the~ are you looking at you three...CrazyButNot4UDec 5, 2022 9:05 AM
| It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it, is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service. |
| I was surprised and happy Renji took that hit and stayed his ground. The first Kenpachi? That hit me like the white truck of doom. Totally out of nowhere. I knew Unohana was hiding something, but I never thought she was a beast! So is she almost killing Kenny and then healing him? My mind is so far blown! I need a lay down. Thinking about taking the rest of the day at work. |

| Sweet baby squeepigs. Now that is an episode. I dont normally talk about the animation of an eps, but this was spot on given there with the two captains duking it out. Im hoping neither have to die, and it will be most interesting if Kenpachi realises his bankai!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Amazing episode. I've been waiting to see Mommy in action for 10 years. Feels good. Shunsui is now the Captain Commander of the Gotei 13. |
| zaraki vs unohana lessgooo unohana is op |
 |
| Best episode! And the nextone will be even better "cough" blood *cough* |
| ichigo and renji the buddies LOL |
| ngl scary Unohana is too hot |
 |
| Bleach delivers yet again. This arc is not just about hype fights. Reveals like these are what makes this arc so special. Unohana vs Zaraki now. I can surely tell that Kenpachi is going to win this one. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Again a peak episode and can't wait for the fight between Zaraki and Unohana 🤩🤩 |
 |
| I'm genuinely surprised that they slowed down the pacing this much. I thought they'd rush and make the Unohana fight end in this episode, but they actually left some slow light-hearted moments in and only adapted half of the fight. That being said, the animation during the fight wasn't as great as I was expecting. |
| The ost playing when the fight was about to start and we got to see the vice captains had me excited. I wish the episode would have ended right when Unohana penetrated Kenpachi's throat, but maybe that would have seemed cheap. Bath-guy is cool, so is Renji-kun. |
| can dis sig fit |
| what the flop is going on man??! crazy stuff. |
 |
| Great change in the kitchen1!!! kekeke |
| Unohana's reveal is everything for me. I've always wondered who the woman was with the hair down and always let myself believe it was someone other than Unohana. Seems like it's not and she is quite the opposite of what I thought she'd be. She's as ruthless and fearless as Kenpachi, or even more than him (back then probably). That one frame is legit one of the coldest shot ever imo. I can definitly see her raising as my one of my favorite Bleach characters. She got everything to be one of the coldest and baddest female characters. Aside from that, Ichigo and Renji are the only two for now that can stand up for themselves and heading to the third process. Oh man, my jaw dropped when she lost all her fat. That's quite the woman tbh. Back to the Kenpachi vs Unoha, the small bits of choreography were displayed incredibly well and powerful. The constant transitions to other scenes made it have a bit more depht (Isane crying and yachiru calling out his name), but hopefully, they'll show the full battle without anything else.  |

   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Oh, I was waiting for the introduction of Oetsu but I guess they went with Retsu vs Kenny first. I love the Retsu reveal and the story with Kenny! |
 |
| The first episode contains relaxing content and the second part is the start of an iconic fight for Bleach fans.I'm glad they didn't force this episode to become a full Unohana Vs Kenpachi battle, with this decision maybe I can hope that the next episode will be a super exciting episode like episodes 6&7. I can't wait for episode 10, maybe it will be a super cool episode. Good Episode 5/5 |
