This final episode was BAD. For one we only got half an episode with the second half being a shitty recap. The fights were not all that either as we went to 4 different battlefields in hald an episode. not given any of them the weight in which they deserved. The pacing was shit jumping around too frequently to try and cram everything in. Nothing had time to hit or breath. This was probably the worst episode of a bad overall cour.

That episode was about an 8/10. I enjoyed it, but the Uryu reveal was kinda trash. I knew he had to have some other motive, but why not at the very least explain things to his friends, or leave a note so that we wouldn’t waste so much time on this plot point. Then the episode ended, and did whatever that nonsense was at the end. The longer that played, the more salty I got about everything, so I got to bump this down a score. Call me crazy or whatever, but I can’t help how I feel. The season as a whole was pretty solid though. (7/10)

A meh end to a rough season of ups and downs. I guess we'll see Yoruichi resolve her fight in the next segment. I want to be hyped for the vizards but there's a high chance that they're just gonna be fodder for valkyrie dude. The whole Ichigo/Uryu thing has been so groan-worthy all season so I'm glad that plot point is finally over but it has sucked out any real excitement I have for what is to come.

Really hope the next part is more like cour 1 and less like this.

that last bit at the end was kinda funny... just... kinda. i think it got a few chuckles and a snort or two out of me... but nothing like real laughter. ah well, for a time-waster trying to lighten the mood at the end of this season? it did ok.

well, another waiting game is upon me for the next part of TYBWA... happy new year everybody! :D

Jesus this episode was terrible. Why'd they make it only like 15 minutes long and end on such a boring cliffhanger, then to add insult to injury they gave us that stupid Askin segment after the episode? The pacing of this arc has been complete crap in general, but cour three took it to a new extreme of pure garbage.

Ichigo vs Uryu AGAIN looks superb. Gerard's POV scene reminds me of Attack on Titan. Looks really cool. The vizards making an appearance as a group is kinda cool but we all know they're going to be wiped out. Askin looks ROUGH in the end piece during the quincy daten. He looks like something out of ms paint lol. Overall, great season. Love how smooth everything flowed compared to cour 1 and 2. Cour 1 and 2 felt very rushed whereas cour 3 does not.

Looks like there are a lot of trolls in this season's forum. So many complaints that make no sense.

@Early_Morning This is a great example of a complaint that makes no sense. You got an extra episode this season and you STILL complain about that extra episode being 15 minutes? Why are you complaining about extra shit? Seasonal anime are 12 or 13 episodes. Look over the episode count again.

It'll always feel weak ending a season with mostly build-up, that's why I was personally hoping for a conclusive Ichigo v Uryu fight to capstone an incredible few months. Also, his "shocking" traitor reveal would've had more impact if it'd been changed, especially after making it so much more convincing here.

Aside from that, I did enjoy this episode. Kira's back from the dead, the Fullbringers are being teased, and even the Visored have finally joined the action with their masks. They'll obviously lose, but hopefully they actually do something against Gerard.

As for the Quincy Encyclopedia... I like Askin and all, but ending a second straight cour with gag content is definitely weird. They could've just made an extended finale around 45 minutes.

Overall though, I'll still rate this season 10/10 (more like 9.5 rounded up). It doesn't match the heights of Cour 1, but that's a nearly impossible task.

I've got high expectations for "The Calamity" now (great title by the way), which will likely be at least 50% new content. I believe in Kubo and Studio Pierrot!

Amazing work with the ending of this cour. This is the first time I didn't feel disappointed that a cour had ended but rather so captivated by all the cameos. Reminds me of why Bleach is so awesome!!!

This episode marks the end of my 1st time going into Bleach franchise from the very beginning of the 1st episode till now which reached 400++ something episode which I'm gladly finish the whole thing within a month. I can safely say this cour probably the second worse after fullbringer arc in the original bleach minus any filler arc. With that said, animation and fighting scene probably the saving grace of this cour same as previous season. Unfortunately, from what I heard, the story is unlikely to turn any better than what it is, but I'm still looking forward to finish what I had started.

8/10
I cannot bring myself to rate anime that I have completed below 5. Well, it just because I have use up my precious time to watch it. so, the worse you will get from me is 5 (changes may apply)

Of course, that ugly chicken guy is still alive because why not? these villains are Jesus in the flesh because they just won't fucking die, and Ishida's big reveal of being a good guy all along was meh, even my neighbor's dog knew it and the dog doesn't even watch anime.

I complained about this mediocre as fuck arc in the manga because it is and I also had my fair share of complaints with the anime, but I have to give credit where credit is due, the anime at least tried to make this mediocre arc more interesting with the great animation and production and that's the only thing I enjoyed about it but it was still a slog to get through and the great animation is the only reason I kept watching it but I'm glad it's over for now because I want to spend my time watching something more interesting. Yoruichi was at least hot so I'll give her that.

Anyway, this season received 3 more points from me due to the great animation so I will end my rant with a rating of:

7/10

This crappy arc in the manga is a 4/10.
@xZabuzax The team working on this final arc are definitely doing their best to elevate the terrible source material but there is only so much you can do while remaining faithful to it.

Nobody with half a brain thought Ishida was actually a traitor to his friends.

Ywach is all knowing and damn near all powerful, but still allows Ishida and other potential threats to him like Ichigo live for the lulz.

The bad guys are so OP that it's just nonstop deus ex machina ass pulls with constant battles to 1up each other's new secret abilities that have never been previously mentioned or hinted at ever.

It's all the same shit people complain about for other shounen battle series but somehow Bleach gets a pass for it.

Nostalgia and animations really is keeping this thing afloat huh. All the suppose changes to make this arc better than the manga run isn't really amounting to much but maybe Kubo and Taguchi got something new cooking for the climax.

Most of my complaints in this arc are exactly this, I call it UNO reverse card bullshitery because when someone is winning a fight they suddenly pull a UNO reverse card bullshit out of their sphincter to get the upper hand, then the other guy do the same and this shit keeps repeating over and over again and suddenly we have Bleach, the UNO reverse card anime! and it doesn't help that the villains are Jesus, you need some specific dumb shit to beat them, like that sword that kills Gods or whatever that the captain suddenly pulled out of his ass, or that other OP dumb Hand Quincy that died because he ate the girl, so they were basically fighting the only guys that are capable of beating them, how convenient.

I know the UNO reverse card bullshitery happens in every shounen, but Bleach took that shit to another level in this arc and I just don't like it.

So they made up with Uryuu in the end while he is going to fight Haschwalth for Ichigo's team to go defeat Yhwach... other parts of the ep were good with some Yoruichi action you can't say no to that xD Also that ending was unnecessary but funny at the same time

This episode is more of a setup to the next season of TYBW arc, THE final season...

  • The visored regrouped and will be facing off against Gerald Valkrie, THE Miracle, THE heart of the Soul King
  • Jugram Haschwalth confronted Uryu Ishada with his borrowed Almighty power after Uryu finally explained his reason (partly) why he was siding with Yhwach all this time.
  • Both Uryu's and Ichigo's daddies arrived at the Wahrwelt


The initial semi-rematch between Ichigo and Uryu was cool, but not as cool as Ichigo deliberately using his getsuga to slice off part of the Wahrwelt JUST FOR A SMOKESCREEN!!! Nahh at this point, everything seems trivial for Ichigo. Even the most ridiculous acts become a viable strategy in his books, he's THAT overwhelmingly powerful. I had a little flashback moment to the Hueco Mundo arc where he uses his bankai as a crutch to try and even the power scale with all the powerful opponents he fought before. But he absolutely haven't even gone all out with his base shikai form as he has from the end of the previous season to the end of this season. Man, his progress brought a little tear of joy to my eyes.

That ending transition from Yhwach's throneroom to the ED was phenomenal, probably THE best way to end a season finale! Fucking EPIC!
It's great that the episode wasn't being stretched out to fill the whole 23-minute slot, it's the perfect way to end. The rest being taken over by Askin was hilarious. Some might not like how out-of-place and how goofy this filler insert is, but it's actually a great way to separate the main story to this throwaway filler to fill out the time slot, lol.

The outro was cheap on every level, they even used unfinished anime frame imho.
Could have used that time for some 'filler' but interesting fight scene like they did with Irako and Hinamori. Which was nice apart for the 90+ level Kido used by Hirako, unnecessary and underwhelming, it looked like LOL some level 10 used by the others, just think about Sokatsui OR Sokatsui used by Byakuya...

Overall I liked the episode anyway I think the animators are in love with Haschwalt or something cause he was the best looking here, details etc.

I actually liked this season though I am not a fan of late Bleach. Good balance of stories and well animated fights.
At the same time it highlighted to me again how overrated previous seasons of TYBW are.

Don't do this to me, don't give me hope for the Vizard again xD. I hope they do something and didn't hype me up just to see them lose again.

On one hand there's that, and on the other there's Yoruichi being so badass and hot.... that ass my god. Man that was awesome!

And that was part 3. Aside from the obvious praise, it was nice to see Nel and especially Riruka again, I really didn't expect to see her again and it was great, I love her.

...As great as Orihime's new outfit. Not gonna lie, it was pretty distracting... I love it,

I can't believe there's only one last part left before Bleach is finally over. I'm so excited and at the same time nostalgic. Looking forward to it!
