This is my first real disappointment with this arc. I was really hoping Uryu's motivation would be something other than another Gin situation, especially since we just had the Bazz-B/Jugo backstory last week.

There’s still more to his character. Please wait until the final cour has finished instead of commenting on something that has yet to be completed.

@AnimeNerd99 Yhwach killed his mom and Ichigo's mom too, you really think he would turn his back on his friends just to be loyal to him?

Great to have Uryu back on the right side
Hopefully Kira's return actually has something to it in the anime!
This was an awesome season, can't wait for the final season now!

First off, can't say how happy i finally am that the zombie boy & the green haired petite girl finally bit the dust, since they were honestly getting on my nerves for the longest time, although i'm kinda curious as to how Yhwach actually offed them while he's asleep, but i guess whatever. Anyway, loved the hilarious Gintama ending there, where you just fill the time with nonsensical stuff due to how the episode ended early, although i am kinda curious as to why the episode was only a 15 minute one, honestly, but it was good, so i guess whatever too.

This ep was kinda dissapointin & jus sorta "eh" wit how they ended off this cour. It was more dissapointin than the last time they pulled this stunt. I thought we'd get somethin cool to leave us excited but not really ig. This has def been the best cour of the 3 so far & I thoroughly enjoyed it. Fixed a lot of issues I had. I'm excited for the true end of bleach

Ohh so here we are. This is the end of the third act of Bleach Sennen Kessen-Hen. I really enjoyed the Ichigo - Uryu moment there. It's been a while since we don't see them on that rooftop. Jugram is just vibing with that Almighty power xD Yoruichi is so beautiful and powerful, her moment with Yushiro was really funny haha

I like the opening theme and the ending theme, they are thrilling and chilling respectively.

See you next year, Bleach! I will be hyping you until episode one of the final act releases and we return to this journey again. Soon :)

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.

Lmfao Askin with the funny koma segment at the end.

Overall I think this was better than even Cour 1. More consistent, more engaging, less dull stretches. Plus all the nice original additions really bolstered the story quality. And of course the production quality and health looked a lot better than in Cour 2.

So now we wait for Cour 4’s arrival.

Com mais de 2 anos de exibição, a qualidade é surpreendentemente alta em relação ao inicio e fim. Percebe-se que a direção é realmente boa quando a equipe analisa perfeitamente os melhores pontos de eventos para aplicar o orçamento bruto do show, isso também vem de acordo com a forma de pensar do Kubo, e como ele quer que tudo aconteça

Eu ainda acho que o episodio anterior se saiu melhor no conteúdo e a maneira como se encerrou, mas isso não altera a pontuação que eu tinha em mente
Sim 9/10. Provavelmente o meu anime favorito dessa temporada

Nothing much to say outside of me looking forward to Cour 4 now. I personally enjoyed this cour. I think as of now, Cour 1 > 3 > 2 is how I would rank it, might change when I rewatch these episodes again. With the current knowledge and having no idea what kinda anime original contents they're planning to do with Cour 4, I think I would've enjoyed cour 3 more as a whole if it stopped at "Friend" and fleshed out their story more to make it more interesting for the anime only watchers when they look back at this event after Haschwalth's decision in cour 4. But that's just my personal opinion and I understand why they decided to end it here because it makes more sense when you consider the context behind the opening and ending of this cour.

Things I look forward to based on the setups made in this episode:
- Vizards reunited and their anime original fight against Gerard.
- Potentially more scenes with the people Riruka and Yukio are visiting

- This would be kinda silly but it would be funny if it's something like the MCU endgame where every surviving factions will have their moments in the final cour. So we got the Shinigamis, Fullbringers, Vizards and the only one left would be the arrancars. Yes Grimmjow and Nelliel are arrancars but the one I'm talking about is the ruler of Hueco Mundo Harribel and her Tres Bestias.

That's about it. Wishing everyone a happy 2025 in advance because I won't be active on this site probably untill the Cour4 happens. Outside of Bleach, none of the popular animes
manages to entertain me enough sadly.

This episode delivers the 15ish minutes that production issues keep from us, some people might not like the Quincy Daten at the end but I just laughed at how they managed to give us what we were promised and trolled us at the same time with this ep.

@xZabuzax Lille's remnants are about to wiped out by Kira, they don't do anything else of relevance.

And obviously Uryu wasn't a traitor that's not in his character he loves his friends. I don't know what you expected, did you want him to kill somebody to prove he's evil?

Yhwach is the reason his mom died why would he join them?

Huh, so Uryu's motivation to fool his friends first before fooling his enemies is very similar to Gin's. Yeah it's nothing new but the question still stands as to how he survived Auswählen. He mentioned something about inheriting his master's (his grandfather) and mother's blood. That explains why he has to bring down Yhwach and his followers without help from Ichigo and co. There might be something hidden in that statement there for now that'll be shown on cour 4, and will hopefully explain the missing link/s.

Good thing giant Gerard isn't 3DCGI-animated, unlike Pernida most of the time of it's fight against Mayuri. Then the Visored will have their anime-only fight against Gerard. We also got to see Riruka and Yukio going to Kuukaku's manor, and I believe they'll meet with important people. Now that's something to look forward to in cour 4.

Finally Kira appeared! A dead man indeed! Also both Isshin and Ryuken have arrived. Hopefully they'll have more screen time. As for the Bambis, welp, got defeated by a supposedly sleeping Yhwach without showing how; 2/10 for that.

Lastly that Askin segment was both hilarious and informative. Askin being the comic relief of the enemy side. So Yhwach had the precursor of the Schutzstaffel from 1000+ years ago, and of course was very different from the current one. Finally got to know that female Quincy's name.

>"Who are you?" "A Dead Man"
>That ending transition at the end
Absolute CINEMA.

It's a shame this episode was so short, even if the content itself was very good. Unfortunately, it was mostly used as a setup/build-up episode for the last battles to come. It I had to argue, this was easily the weakest ending of the TYBW series, Cour 1 had "The Blade is Me" (which was the culmination of Ichigo's character) and Cour 2 had Senjumaru and Ichibei's bankai at the end (making it a really strong climax), but this one kinda felt lacking, like it needed a couple of extra minutes. I would've loved if it ended with Ichigo & Orihime facing Yhwach at the end, but it didn't happen sadly.

Overall, Cour 3 > Cour 1 > Cour 2, but all of them are fantastic and had great episodes on their own right.

You know what, I'm one of those people that think Byakuya and Kira were supposed to be really dead but Kubo changed his plans along the way and decided to bring them back which is a bit of a bummer to me, but tbh had Kira not showed up again, then we wouldn't have this scene which is one of my favorites manga panels from this arc.


Byakuya 100% should've died in the first invasion and Renji should've become captain at the end of TYBW, same as Rukia. Kira is perfectly fine being alive, we still haven't seen his bankai yet and him being one-shot felt underwhelming for a character who still had potential.

MegamiRem said:
This cour felt worse than the second cour which was worse than the first cour. The more deep we go into the final arc of the manga the worse it gets in terms of everything. The anime has elevated it but still having a weaker material to work on has it's limits. I'm atleast enjoying this more than I remember the manga which pretty much felt annoying at that point. Still this season had it's moments with Mayuri and Shunsui episodes.


Out of all the parts that have been adapted, Cour 2 is the worst in the original manga. Second Invasion is no-name Quincies jobbing and getting off-screened left and right which you don't give a damn about and have no time getting invested in because there is simply too many of them (As nodt, Gremmy, Bazz-B & the bambies are basically the only ones who get decent screen time/build-up or are recognizable, the Espada/Arrancar were more iconic) and then Squad Zero being a bunch of frauds (which was fixed in the anime, mind you, giving 4 full chapters for their confrontation and demise).

Overall though? Cour 4 is the worst part of the arc and needs the most anime exclusive content to be fixed. If they do it though, TYBW would end up as easily the best war arc of the big 3 (One Piece, Naruto & Bleach) and one of the best war arcs in shonen.

It's incredible to witness the resurrection of Bleach and for it to return to its rightful position of one of the Big 3.

Cannot wait for Cour 4 to drop!

Well, I am a little disappointed about the final episode, and the reason why is that half of the episode was filler. It was definitely a nostalgic episode, but why did the old Gotei 13 members wait all this time to release their Arrancar forms? And Ishida's fake betrayal was so obvious, but never mind! My boi Kira is back!

Lots of open fronts for the finale, the Visoreds vs Gerard, Askin vs Yoruichi, Kira’s return, the tease of the Fullbringers, the dads arriving in Wahrwelt... Kind of expected since there was no point to conclusively end the season, Ichigo reconciling with Uryu and them going separate ways to fight their enemies was the best stopping point, really.

Liked a lot the added stuff to Uryu’s decision to fake defecting to the Wandenreich like Soken’s narration and truth reveal and that small flashback with Yhwach’s Auswahlen on the human world. I hope they make Uryu vs Haschwalth more fun than in the manga, I trust the anime given the great treatment they gave Uryu this season.

The segment with Askin threw me by surprise, but I get it, they wanted to gain time for the unexpected unfinished ending of the previous season. I didn't mind it too much tho, Askin is funny and the info about the previous royal guard from Yhwach was cool.

Loved this cour, probably the one I liked the most of the three so far. It had a lot of new content that I loved, gave Uryu the time to shine he really needed and looked better than the previous season. Makes me very excited for the next one, but also kind of sad since we’ll have to wait a lot to get to the next one. I’m gonna miss Bleach so much, really.
