Okay I'll admit, the anime did more justice to the Black Sniper -> God Chicken transmog. Even with all the badassery, it's still quite a puzzling switch that makes no real thematic sense. Maybe if one liberally interprets the craziness of actual Biblical angelic messengers, but even then, the Quincy gave up an OP power that could end every shinigami he came across for a divine energy-charged power that could easily be deflected by Shrine Maiden zanpakutou. Dude gave up a win condition to amass an OP god-power that had a fatal flaw. Pretty awful trade-off in the grand scheme of things. Not sure what the metaphorical importance of that trade-off is.

Jesus fucking christ, how many times do these characters are going to supposedly die? so many asspulls and ugly ass transformations, why does that guy suddenly look like a chicken? Will that ugly chicken guy finally stay dead? or will it revive again with another ass-pull UNO reverse card bullshitery? and it just happens that the captains they are fighting have exactly what they need to beat those guys, otherwise, they would be invincible because they just won't fucking die, but every character has exactly the shit they need to win and they always pull it out straight out of their asses.

If it wasn't for the great animation and production I would have dropped this but yeah, this is weak writing and it's being carried out by the animation.

Pretty meh episode, backstory was alright and the "fight" was rather boring.

I... I just want to see Kenpachi fight. Me and my friend waited until we had 8 episodes to watch, and our reward were 2 episodes of drum-rolling, then 6 episodes of a few really cool fights but finishing it off with an immortal "god" that can only be defeated by something that can only defeat a god. So like..? I... I am pretty underwhelmed by these last 8 episodes overall.

For me, I just want to see Kenpachi fight. I barely remember anything about the characters currently being shown. This was well animated and everything but like... the premise of him being "undefeatable except by the thing that defeats the undefeatable" felt very, very silly. I couldn't really take the fight seriously.

Kyouraku and Nanao 's backstory is really interesting. It was one of my favorites! There were clues back then that their past was hiding something. Their Zanpakutos stories are tied in a special way. I am looking forward to the next episode!

@lucjan I mean, they could kinda still end Gerard's mid-of-fight on episode 14 as well, because both Friend and God of Thunder could possibly be adapted in one episode each, considering cour 2's pacing. That would give us some Kenny for this season still.

I absolutely loved the visuals in this one. Kyoraku and Nanao backstory was perfectly executed and faithful to source material!

@Danpmss I find this unlikely but I've been surprised before so I guess we'll see.

The most laid back chilled guy having the most responsibilites on him with addtion to pain and death of loved ones from the past.

Love how he carried both his brother and sister in laws pin on him as a sign of carrying their wishes with him eventually passing on them to nanao.

Nanao did well considering her first serious fight and handling a zanpaktou, killing a "god" with gods power. symbolic indeed. Lilles second form was terrifying, kubos designs are just so good.

Great episode.
