| Sworn enemies meeting again after a thousand years huh. Seems the Quincy king is one that attain his goal via rampart of corpses. The fight between the two though were pretty high level. Considering old man Yama's abilities are fire based the drawing in of every drop of water in the area to fuel them is defo believable. But while his flames were indeed powerful what made it even more so was were his support abilities especially the call of the dead that was just chilling. But what was equally chilling was the fact that the enemy had anticipated Yamamoto joining the battle and planned ahead. Overall a very action heavy ep that while doing well in showing just how powerful the head captain was also likewise showed just how cunning Yhwach was as well. |

| The animation in this episode was so damn beautiful!! Especially the first half was a storyboarding masterpiece. And all the style changes! The painted style of the final shot!! New favourite episode when it comes down to animation. Even the wonky movements of the CGI skeletons weren't too bad. I can 100% understand and ignore the use of it there. |

| Yamamoto was badasss this episode but RIP he was trick by the real Yhwach there by exhausting his powers to a fake Yhwach and nice to see Aizen again  |
| What a fireeeeeeeeeeeee episode it was RIP Yamamoto (Head Captain) the best head captain of Gotei 13 |
 |
| This episode is very well done and the fight is epic. |

| Yhwach fooled Yamamoto like a fiddle. I really hope he survives but it looks like he was slashed in half T_T |
 |
| 3.5/5 Easily the best episode of Bleach without a doubt. The animation was good with some well choreographed fight sequences but still nothing too extravagant. The CGI was jarring at times but good enough for a background model. We've seen worse The first half was pretty enthralling with good directional flex from Perriot but the dialogues crippled the flow of the fight for me. We finally get to witness Yamamoto's bankai tho which was beautifully portrayed. I liked how they were also switching back & forth to their past selves. The fake-out death of Ywach was not as much surprising as I hoped it would've been. Plus, the Aizen sequence also felt a bit underwhelming and forced. |

| This episode is just chef's kiss. The director did an awesome job with the fight sequence. Can't wait to see more top tier animation! RIP to Yamaji. The face he made when he accepted his fate was sad man. What Yhwach did was a calculative move but I still felt cheated. It was nice to see Aizen again! Totally chad of him telling Yhwach off while he's locked in his Evangelion form. The next episode is gonna be grey for Soul Society. Ichigo better get out of his jail fast!! |
| holy hell man... I think, I came a little... |
 |
| Even someone like me who doesn't know much about Yamamoto got hyped as hell seeing his Bankai lol, the characters really hyped him up in the beginning of the episode. The moments after he absorbed all the flames and before he showed his blade were cinematic as hell. Most of his directional attacks (east/west/south/north) were crazy too. Though I don't like how a guy as hyped up as Yamamoto got folded instantly by Yhwach, they didn't even fight. |
 |
| THAT WAS FUCKING INCREDIBLE. HOLY SHIT, WHAT A MASTERPIECE. |
| Waited years for this, it fucking paid off. |
hiddenhokage said: silversaint said: i think the music is lacking in these fights NGL, the CGI looked fine from affar, the problem was the close up shots Finally, someone agrees with me on this! I get the whole "no music" trope that Studio Pierrot tries to do sometimes (they did that in Naruto too) but I don't think it worked here. It works better for slower, less amped-up situations; Yamamoto's fires were symbolic of his rage and very much in line with the definition of amped-up. And I think that deserves some tunes lol. Almost makes me want to make an edit of this using some of the OG Bleach soundtracks. I understand how you didn't like. Most of the episode we got simple sounds of fire burning with multiple silent parts with absolutely not a single bit of sound, with one of them being when he 1st activated his bankai and focused all fire to the tip of his sword. They are just trying to portray the atmosphere as it is in hell as he literally brings it with his bankai. I thought the episode was done quite well with the exception of the part when As nodt and 2 more interfere with the fight, you couldnt really tell who they were without pausing or knowing beforehand (by reading manga). Remember one of the best scenes in all of anime is the train ride scene in Spirited away which had no sound. |
| Yamamoto’s Bankai was sick as fuck the fight was amazing his bankai was too cold his attacks were next level and we got to see Aizen that was cool but it sucks that the old man’s bankai got stolen hope he survives |
 |
| Came in with a lot of hype for this fight and it didn't disappoint Good seeing Aizen again, even if it was just to tell Yhwach to GTFO |
 |
| I MEAN, I KNEW THIS EPISODE WAS GOING TO BE THE BEST ANIMATED EPISODE OF BLEACH BUT THAT STILL EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS HOLY SHIT |
| Man what the fuck was 10 years ago me on about thinking the final arc was dull, this was a fantastic fight both thematically and from a big dick action standpoint, the backdrop of fighting over the deaths of comrades was a cool motiff but the actual execution of Yama's Bankai really made it feel like this dude really deserved all the hype hes had this entire series |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| I failed NNN watching this episode. This was the best episode of anime this season. Amazing animation for the fights. I’m so sad the old man got conned in the end and most likely lost his life in the end. I never thought I’d live to see Yama’s bankai animated beautifully like this. 10/10 |
  |
| So Bleach made it to the top 3 trending for Worldwide and Japan twitter. Also other bleach related stuff like Ember sword were trending. Bleach is getting hyped up and a LOT more has to come next. |
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.  |
| Boss Vs Boss episode and the winner is the sneaky Boss. I really like the fighting scenes of this episode, I feel very tense watching it. In the end what I liked the most was Aizen's appearance, I can't wait to see him join the battlefield. I'm very happy too because my wait wasn't disappointed because this episode was super cool from all aspects. Super Episode 1.000.000/10 |

| What a fight this episode and there's sure a lot to the captains Bankai, but turns out the Yhwach he was fighting was just an impostor.. |
| This episode was probably one of the best episodes I’ve ever watched from any anime. If this is what the final arc of bleach has to offer I honestly can't wait for what's coming next, I wonder what role aizen will be playing aswell |

| That was a great watch. And now the strongest of all the Shinigami has now been defeated. I'm looking forward to the continuity of that cliffhanger. Will Ichigo alone with his friends shoulder the Soul Society again all by themselves? OwO |
| 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 literally came during the episode. IT WAS SOO GOOD!! |
CANDIES!:       |
JizzyHitler said: I love Zanka no Tachi. When it comes to raw power big dick energy I think it's by far the strongest out of all bankai.Man what the fuck was 10 years ago me on about thinking the final arc was dull, this was a fantastic fight both thematically and from a big dick action standpoint, the backdrop of fighting over the deaths of comrades was a cool motiff but the actual execution of Yama's Bankai really made it feel like this dude really deserved all the hype hes had this entire series |
| That boss battle was fantastic. I was expecting a spectacle and this blew those expectations out of the water. That last Yhwach slash gave me chills. And yay, we got to see Aizen again! Perhaps the Soul Society should have let him out to help out, haha. The Yourself power is a pair of Quincy twins, that's pretty interesting. It would have been nice to see them fight as a pair and die as a pair, but this works too. The one Yamamoto fought was clearly the stronger of the two and more trusted by Yhwach to serve as a distraction. Yamamoto's Bankai was crazy. Raising the dead? Why not. It isn't like boiling everything to cinders isn't too overpowered already. The battle was extremely well animated. Best battle of the season so far and it's not even close. Now that Yhwach has that overpowered Bankai though and Yamamoto has been seemingly defeated, things look hopeless for the Soul Society's and their odds of surviving this war, let alone winning. Even if Ichigo gets there soon, he probably won't be of much help to be honest. The wait for the next episode will be torture. |

| humanity has peaked with this episode |
 |
| BEST EPISODE UNTIL THIS MOMENT IF YOU'RE NOT HYPED BY THIS GO F YOURSELF!!! DAMNNNN Yamamoto vs Yhwach! What a legendary battle. I've been waiting for this for so long! Mod Edit: Merged duplicated posts; please use the edit button. |

| >You can't steal my bankai because you don't understand it. >Explains bankai the entire episode. >Tries to use bankai and it gets stolen. .... I mean sure that wasn't the reason they couldn't take it but either way it was a dumb idea lol. |
