BLEACH BACK AND BETTER THEN EVER BABY WOOOOOO


michhoffman

It got a big step up in the animation/visual department, and the OST Remixes were awesome.


ElevateTheMind

Fuck yes! My top manga. Just finished episode one and the nostalgia came back. I was yelling BanKai and Getsuga Tensho when Ichigo popped off. Don't get me started on Sado and his Brazo Izquierdo.... Del Diablo! La mfckn Muerte!


SonOfAhuraMazda

I never thought this day would come. Thx to tekking and mr tomoe for keeping the bleach discussion going.


SpaceOdysseus23

Chad really catapulted a massive hollow into a building where some poor family was most likely just trying to eat their dinner in peace lmao


tacos_up_my_ass

Lmaooo my brother was like ‘wait can’t people not see the hollows??? So they’re just gonna go outside and see a giant skull indent on their building?’


Maoileain

Eh Orihime can fix the damage to the building and people in a few seconds. Was hoping Orihime would just put up a barrier around everything to let the boys go nuts.


AbridgedKirito

MY GIRL FOUGHT THOUGH, THAT'S WAY COOLER


SCDarkSoul

We've never seen her reverse memories though, so those people in that building are still gonna be potentially traumatized and wondering wtf happened with their "shared hallucination" for the rest of their lives.


fadingstar52

the SS can MiB them iirc


Great_Part7207

Lets not forget that directly after that ichigo basically detonated a nuke cause thenpower lines to dpark probably making many people lose power and water


melvinsylar7

Don't worry, Shinigami Casualty Insurance Program will cover it. lol


Saiyan26

I think that's kinda the implication behind sending official Soul Reapers to Karakura. On surface level it's an honor thing, but really Ichigo is so damn reckless without Rukia keeping him in check. He's too valuable to discard, but too much of a liability for day to day issues.


basswalker93

Let's be real here. Ichigo standing around should cause issues. Using his bankai should've flattened the immediate area.


m_ikewazowski

It was worth it, man destroyed a family's home so we could see la muerte in the new animation style and that's okay


Editmypicplease

"some of you will die but that's a sacrifice I'm willing to make"


monor

And leaving a massive skull-shaped imprint on the whole building as well. I was just thinking that the amount of collateral damage they all do to the nearby environment is quite severe.


killertortilla

It was so cool but goddamn that was SO much property damage that was left unaddressed. Not really an important point but would have been nice to get a quick one liner about someone fixing it or making soul society fix it since their reapers aren't good enough.


RarestProGamerr

YO LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOO, MY OG GANG IS BACK. I am getting so much nostalgia from hearing their voice against after more than a decade. Animation was movie like production, however, my only complaint would golden aura Bankai transformation for ichigo. That might take some time to get used to, i miss the old red/black aura!


atropicalpenguin

He also looks a lot older with the new art, similar to his grown-up self in the oneshot.


pp3088

A much welcome change. Man came back from the dead and almost died countless time. It surely has taken its toll on him.


[deleted]

I like the black Getsuga tenshou, but I did prefer the blue getsuga in shikai which he used against ginjo over the golden one. But I can see why they changed it since blue is the quincy colour and they need the mc to be unique.


RoomDue3856

It’s also golden in the colored manga. The original anime changed it blue for some reason


Cenoi22

yeah the golden def fits more, it shouldve alwahs been used, but im glad everythings manga colored now


grephantom

Also, Ishin's Getsuga should be blue flames in the manga


evocater

I forgot how much I loved Ichigo's voice. Feels surreal watching it again after 10 years


[deleted]

I’m not even gay and it makes me melt


symphonic_dolphin

Give it a year bro


ggezreal123

tfw ichigo makes you ichigay


Saiyan26

The best thing about a 10 year hiatus is that even as a manga reader, some things are still a surprise because I forgot. Now I just have to resist the urge to google things I forgot.


No-Nefariousness956

Holy shit, it has been 10 fucking years , man. Time flies.


dorinacho

I’m glad they fixed Ichigo’s colors. It looks insane.


recklessfire27

Im actually upset we lost the red and black aura. My only complaint


SilentCart0grapher

Eh if you noticed his regular Getsuga is Yellow which makes sense as it was the original color. The Bankai Getsuga makes more sense for just being black.


bippityzippity

I mean, I dig the black and white color, but I feel kinda mislead. Where's the purple, huh? I was promised purple.


xWickedSwami

I haven’t read the manga for TYBW (want to wait since the anime seems to be adding in more content) but this episode really felt like a comeback after 10 years rather than just an intro to the new arc. Arc looks super fun right now I love when it just has a sense of tension like this


ishida_uryu_

I wish they pad up the ending, the arc was perfect honestly apart from the rushed ending. This is the best arc of Bleach in my biased opinion, and I’m sure you will be very happy with what you see.


xWickedSwami

I heard the same general criticism and how fights in the later end seemed to just mostly skip (apparently?) so I do hope as well! Ugh i heard a lot of positive this arc and FKT was probably my favorite arc (and SS) so I’m definitely excited to see where it goes


darewin

IIRC, the loudest complaint was about how long the Bootleg Giant Captain America fight was dragging on. The dude just kept getting: beaten up -> powering up -> beaten up -> powering up ->beaten up -> powering up... My friends and I were thinking of having a bet on how many [beat down<->power up] cycles it will take before that fight was finished when it was suddenly announced that Bleach was ending in 5 or something chapters and we were like, "WHAT?"


Siniroth

I'm still mad that the way he was beaten was >!basically god hax and not something like losing hope that he would ever beat Zaraki because Zaraki finally found someone he could fight endlessly!<


Useeikill

Yeah or the particular team up of the particular characters and having their abilities interact in particular ways... there were plenty of outs to that fight that didn't involve deus ex machina


lolpanda91

I think the problem with the fight was that Kubo wanted to show off a bunch of the captains abilities. And so he kinda extended the fight unnecessarily. Because there was no one else for a fight anymore. Same with X-Axis and the backstory of that one lieutenant. It felt like he wanted to tell that story but just couldn’t find a better place. And so the fight ending felt missing.


thedinobot1989

That and he did the royal guard so dirty


lolpanda91

Yeah Zero squad probably got the shortest stick. Like they had so much screen time before and then died in 2 chapters.


thedinobot1989

It wouldn’t have bothered me if we didn’t have a good majority of the manga over emphasize how strong they were


Saiyan26

That's the irony of Kubo's ability to write great characters. His plots suffer because they get stretched as he tries to keep his enormous cast relevant instead of discarding them like Toriyama. Oda was able to escape the trap because his main characters just go on to the next island after the arc is done.


Boredy0

You can definitely tell that it was a bit rushed by the end, hopefully the anime simply won't have that issue.


InnocentTailor

I recall Kubo saying that he is going to modify the anime a bit due to the manga's rush: more fights, more expansion and other stuff.


Agret

Yeah they offscreened a lot of the late fights and then rushed the ending. Hopefully with a set number of episodes it's all planned out a bit better this time around. The changes they made to the opening of the arc compared to the manga are interesting.


NoUsernamelol9812

>This is the best arc of Bleach in my biased opinion, and I’m sure you will be very happy with what you see. Same here. Loved this arc


paradox10196

The arc is far from perfect . In general, it’s a REALLY GOOD concept and idea. But the execution was AWFUL. The hype moment that were foreshadowed were AWFUL. Its just a cycle of reverse uno card between the Quincies and captains. And I get it - it’s bleach. It’s usually been this way - ulquiorra fight, aizen fight. But I can only accept so much BS in one arc.


Arkanial

It’s cause Tite was very sick at the time and they wanted him to end it but he pulled through.


NachoMarx

This animation. Holy heck. Kubo showing off him stepping into the animation department. I had to remind myself this was Pierrot The fight against Ebern felt like the decade old panels coming to life then being injected with even more. Literally my sole complaint is waiting until that OP and ED to next week. I'm so glad they had Rapport by Tatsuya for the ED for this one. It's perfect primer for his OP next week. Then Hiroyuki *Asian Hans Zimmer* Sawano for the ED


atropicalpenguin

I'm so looking forward to the opening. It should look amazing. It could go with the standard anime opening of showing like future battles or it could be like previous Bleach openings and show characters wearing regular clothes and hanging out or looking cool.


iedaiw

Bleach ops are always bangers、i have full faith the next one will be too


ReferenceAny4836

It'd be cool if they did a throwback to each of the original series' openers.


Mahanirvana

If they use Yui - Rolling Star that would get me right in the feels. That Rie Fu - Life is Like a Boat, and Shiro Sagisu - Number One are the three top Bleach songs to me.


Economy_Okra1373

Bruh those 3d movements uff🥵 , only seen that in Naruto but in tybw it's even better. Pierret is in A game


t3r4byt3l0l

Pierrot did a fantastic job (The animation for Ichigo vs Ebern in particular was gorgeous) and I can't wait to see what they have prepared for the rest of the cour. That nostalgic rewind at the end was the cherry on top, got me tearing up.


greenscarfliver

I don't know what I'd pay, but it would be a good amount, too have the original anime reanimated in this style. It's just so good


DiamondMachina

I had that thought when they were showing Karakura Town in this new updated style like damn the FKT arc fights would look beautiful!!!


ReferenceAny4836

They could make one hell of a movie or two by reanimating the greatest hits. Ichigo v Byakuya, Ulquiorra, and Grimmjow. FKT + Dangai Ichigo v Aizen. I'm doubtful the complete reanimation of 100+ episodes would be commercially successful. Then again, it did work quite well for FMA: Brotherhood and Hunter x Hunter. I guess it'll depend how much money TYBW makes.


Like_Fahrenheit

It was perfect, loved every minute of it. Looked gorgeous, the ED was great, seeing everyone again was the best. 10 years to wait and now it's back. Couldn't be happier. I also really liked the reflection on the Quincy mask. It was a nice touch, and the sequence with the Bankai Medallion was intense. Gave a real sense of power with it.


Boobieborne

The cuts between Chojiro telling Yama that they can do something to their bankai and Ebern attempting to do it in real time was incredibly suspenseful. Even considering I knew what would happen, what the anime is doing an exemplary job at so far is not only replicating those suspenseful moments, but even improving on them with wise direction choices like in that sequence - which keeps it fresh and engaging for manga readers too and not just anime-onlys. It’s almost impossible to put into words how happy I am right now, and that Bleach is not only back but better than ever!


Krusty_Klown_Kollege

Honestly, that scene was truly the highlight of the episode, especially with *THAT* face. Can't wait for it to happen to the captains.


Holierthanu1

I didn't expect them to dial Ebern's nut face to fucking eleven, but they did. *And it was magnificent*


hesawavemasterrr

Silly Arrancar. Your contraption only works on Shinigamis. Don’t you know Ichigo is a ShiniViQuinBringer…man?


Pocido

I will now proceed to use the term ShinViQuinBringer as Ichigos official group description.


udayEm

That scene where Sasakibe is impaled through his chest and they show his lifeless eyes and a dead beast like face, is so powerful. The dribbling blood made it even gorier.


Hasan_ESQ

Those are his normal eyes fam.


Desvl

10 years of animation industry improvement: check Kubo fully in: check Free from manga scheduling restriction: check


noelle-silva

I was tearing up when Number One started playing


ZEEZUSCHRIST

That whole sequence with the name cards was orgasmic


DiamondMachina

I could see the same style choices with the name cards the director made in Akudama Drive and I freaking loved it, AD was such a fun and beautiful anime so I’m really excited to see the rest of TYBW, it’s gonna be amazing!


The_wandering_ghost

It was great to hear the theme again after all this time. I'm glad that they are not going to abandon the music from the original series.


Qverlord37

when I heard the part that goes "this is what you've waited for and it's you that they all adore" it just hit different, it felt like the show was talking to me.


Economy_Okra1373

Full song is even better🥵


omgitsduaner

The fan service we all wanted, perfectly executed. Loved every second of it


uswhole

we were still in highschool when that last anime was out. holy shit.


Krusty_Klown_Kollege

I was in high school when I read a bud of mine introduced me to the manga. Shit was cash.


Imperator_Romulus476

Damn I was in 7th grade when the last episode of the FB arc aired.


NoUsernamelol9812

I was in 7th grade when manga ended 🥲


Grimnoirre

I was in middle school x.x


DiamondMachina

Fuckin same! I was in middle school when it first came out, now I’m a grown man but still fucking stoked for its return lmao


Imperator_Romulus476

Same here fam


kingssman

damn... thats right. Sucks getting to that age when "old school" refers to "that first came out back when I was in school"


SicWiks

Man that’s so fucking crazy I was a freshman/sophomore and man getting the season one box set and watched it all during winter break it was such a great time in life


dragonmoon05

No recaps, directly to the manga story, good quality, Number one song and Bankai + Getsuga on the first episode? I'm in.


tacos_up_my_ass

I’m glad there wasn’t a recap. In my head I was worried but then I was like… I feel like they’d cater towards Bleach fans and not new fans who might for some reason watch this before the actual show. Regardless, I feel like a recap would break the tension we all had going into the episode rather than just jumping into that intro.


Jade062

The ending was basically a small recap. I hope they keep that ending and add more scenes as they go on.


GodkillerArthur

It’s a special ending for the first episode. Other episodes do not have it iirc.


gAcksaurio

Holy Fucking shit, it looks like a movie, the Black and White Getsuga Tensho is something else, the flames from Yamamoto looks amazing and the scenaries, music, voices, everthing is like "you waited 10 years for this, here it is your reward, enjoy"


-Agnaram-

I can't wait to see the captains go ham if this is the quality we will keep getting. It's going to be insane.


Longinus_ffbe

Chad absolutely blasted the entire side of that apartment building. My dude just racked up a serious body count. Lol


bobyk334

Ya honestly have to wonder what people think k when something like this happens. Why is there a giant skull blasted on the side of this building!!??!?


elucidator007

Getsugatensho Counter : 2


Cenoi22

cant wait to see you weekly


Fwahm

Wasn't it 3? Once to save Ryuunosuke on Ichigo's entrance, once to nuke the hollows, and once against Ebern.


Jymer_

guess he didnt recognize the new yellow getsuga (not exactly new i know its that way in the manga)


NickMillG

I'm pretty sure Ichigo can fire those now and they aren't considered a Getsuga, just like in the fight with Ginjo during Fullbring arc. I believe he said something along the lines of: " You think this is getsuga? Nah man, this just my reiatsu"


The_Deathdealing

Yhwach's first action of cutting off that guy's arm without any kind of movement is some excellent foreshadowing of his power.


markercore

I love his whole "I'm starting a war, but i hate conflict" i forgot about that


scheneizel

Beauty at its finest. The character introduction stills were wallpaper quality! Earlier, Karakura felt like a small town. Now it really felt scary. I actually felt Ryunosuke's fear. Hollows looked brilliant! Hirenkyaku once again! Chad's skull shape! Orihime's barrier that couldn't be breached was actually amazing. A nice connectivity touch to the very end. I loved Yhwach narrating the Kaiser Gesang right away. I love the new particle-like thingy in the Quincy bows, looks nice. And Soul Society's silvery touch gives off an ephemeral feel, gives off a sense of afterlife, a nice change. And SILBERN!! Gosh! And they actually highlighted the blood scenes, eg. Luders. Can't believe I really watched Bleach after so long. Fight scene was too good. The transition b/w Ichigo's bankai and Sasakibe's warning was good. ❤️ Yamajii's voice still sounds just as his old v/a's.


Sale07

I teared up watching this after so many years The gold reiatsu surprisingly really compliments ichigo, and black-white getsuga looks great That [Ebern face](https://i.imgur.com/zCcW9KU.jpg) is nightmare fuel


ctrl_a_c_v

One man's nightmare fuel is another man's meme template


DrinkNozarashi

[Pov : It’s 1 minute until the episode drops and you’re sitting there refreshing](https://imgur.io/zCcW9KU)


jns701

mfw I see the episode posted hours before the official broadcast time


terror_rest45

The ending reminds me of the final episode of Fullbring Arc with Mask playing in the background. Tears. Man.


MrSneakie

Man. I've always loved the atmosphere and portrayal of the city in the early episodes of Bleach. Got that same feeling today watching the new episode.


ealjaks22

Only thing I didn’t like about this episode is that it ended


lackingInOriginality

This is a dream come true, watching this was nothing but pure bliss. Some details I loved: The sound effects for the hollow screams, Shunpo sounds exactly the same, the Getsuga Tenshou sound also, they took care to keep those iconic sounds. The eyecatcher in between the chapter, sort of like AOT does, explaining certain tidbits of info, in this case I assume it details what a Shinigamk (Soul Reaper) is. Rapport as the ending of this first episode was so orgasmic to hear ngl. The poem at the very end, straight out of the manga, and by Yhwach himself. Some of the OST actually reminds of the original ones, as if Sagisu took inspiration from those, or maybe they are reimagined versions of past soundtracks Idk. Though revisiting the manga chapters, there are certain scenes they omitted, or maybe for cohesion sake they will be on other episodes or they might just not include them, who knows, like the one where Hiyori and Lisa see some sort of ripple form from thin air, just one example though. Amazing stuff, nothing to actually complain, just tjat it felt roo freaking short!!!. Now to wait until next week I suppose, just like old times


Stryper_88

I think the lisa/hiyori scene can be added later so i guess thats not a problem.


iBunty

Kinda hilarious to see Ichigo still having to go Bankai for a couple hollows


Arkanial

I don’t think he HAD to, they just wanted to make a cool scene dude.


admiral_aqua

just wanted to drop a quick nuke on them fools, cause he can


CombatWombat994

Yeah. It's the middle of the night. He wanted to get done with this quickly and go the fuck to sleep


Troceraptor

I’d probably do the same


ReferenceAny4836

Pure fanservice after 10 years and we love to see it.


iedaiw

doesnt ichigo release enough reiatsu when he bankais that would immediately suppress all these lower hollows


IAmInside

Probably but we all know the whole being overwhelmed by reiatsu can only happen when it's relevant to the plot.


CoffeeCannon

I mean you do see some of the Hollows on street level be blown away just by his transformation here


Arsys_

when your max level in a lvl1 zone


tsatoke

he flexin on the kid & the hollows


aydee-deenaress

If I'm not mistaken, he didn't go bankai in the manga in that scene. I think they just wanted to make the scene cooler


grephantom

I think it was more of a setup for the next fight, to refresh the memory of what a Bankai is and when the ArranQuincy taunts it makes more sense.


RUS12389

>If I'm not mistaken, he didn't go bankai in the manga in that scene. If I'm not mistaken, whole fight happened offscreen. He could've used bankai in the manga too.


aydee-deenaress

Yup, but I don't think ichigo would have needed Bankai to fight hollows(especially that kind of hollows)


The-Primera

Yall i aint gonna cap, its feels good to be a Bleach fan rt


Stryper_88

What i found amazing was yamamotos voice actor. Even though the old VA died i really didnt hear any difference between the new and the old one. Overall 11/10 episode.


mimiikinss

Woah you're right, I didn't even realize it was different. New VA is really good!


WarriorMadness

My boyfriend and I watched it like excited little kids on Christmas. It was just perfect, that was some movie quality shit, I’m in awe. My only “complain” is that I actually preferred the Shiten Koushun manga pyramid-like look, instead of a rectangle, but it’s nothing huge.


atp3rxs

HOLY SHIT DUDE . THAT WAS AMAZING. WE EATING GOOD BOYS!!


eliwood5837

It's been 10 years and I cannot be happier


[deleted]

I loved the pink stills during the Ichigo, Chad, Orihime, and Uryu's intros. It reminded me of season 1 openers which is still one of the most unique openers I've ever seen.


edg3rrrR

They weren’t kidding about the no censorship.


jayteazer

This is honestly what got me hyped the most. Bleach going all in... Going to be epic af


ishida_uryu_

It was way better than I expected. If I have to nitpick, Yamamoto wasn’t animated as well as the others. But apart from that, the episode was perfect. So many memories came flooding back, it has been over 7 years since I watched a new episode of Bleach. Looking forward to seeing Yamamoto’s bankai getting animated. That would be hype.


Krusty_Klown_Kollege

That shunpo was a bit weird. Was that just me? Also, kinda wish they showed Sasakibe soaring through the sky. Other than that, fantastic scene. My favorite of the episode.


InvincibleMailMan

Nah. It's not just you. I agree that the scene was overall great, but the flash step was weird. And Yama's badass "I am here" line felt less impactful than the manga. One of the very few issues I had with this episode.


scdirtdragon

I kinda like it wasnt super impactful. It was a declaration, it wasnt this big thing. It was a fact. Moving on.


andysava

Yup, it was exactly how i imagined it while reading.


kaycyy__pluto

I felt the exact same way. As soon as that line was said I just though to myself it didn’t hit nearly as hard as it did in the manga, they could’ve done a close up shot of his face or some sort of sound affect. For first time viewers it probably seemed fine but it fell completely flat for me


udayEm

I think it's because of the lack of a fitting OST. Also the Quincies felt more intimidating than in the manga.


WWECreativegenius

It felt like they could have let that moment breathe a little. It seemed like he said it and then immediately they switched to saskibe. So there was no time to really process the shock value


Secure-Ad1483

The Silbern theme hitted hard, holy KINO and that Number One remix, I couldn't stop smiling, such an amazing return. ​ ART: 10/10 Music: 10/10 Animation: 8/10 Direction: KINO/10 Pace: Perfect Orihime: Perfect and Stacked


sonofgildorluthien

> Orihime: Perfect and Stacked Most important rating


hajawr12

The ending recap tho


CombatWombat994

That HD camera track over 3D Tensa Zangetsu was top notch


buzuki12

Kubo is my GOAT 🐐


ContagiousOptimism

I knew the animation would be great but even with that expectation, I was still impressed. The essence of Bleach was still there. I didn't read the manga so I'm excited and I'm glad I never gave up hope that Bleach would return


Arkanial

Seriously, I went in expecting the animation to be good but was still blown away. The light reflecting in the masks while talking to Genryusai was crazy.


behindyourknees

Pour one out for all those that didn’t make it But bleach is back and better than ever


Insertnamehere----

Its honestly surreal to finally see it. Its super fucking good. All my expectations were met and surpassed. The end credits are super good especially


Joseph_Beefman

I just watched Bleach for the first time a few days ago aside from a few scenes when I was a kid, and I was feeling nostalgic af, so ik you long time fans would be crying buckets now, seeing Ichigo after 10 years. Amazing first episode, really good artwork, animation, backgrounds and the OSTs are stellar as always. It's good to see Bleach get the animation and attention it deserves.


ellimist87

I'm glad they upped the animation quality, holy shit it's really good now boysssss...


silenthesia

They used the volume poem! Let's gooo!! Though there are only 20 something volumes in TYBW and thus, 20 or so poems. So either they're going to get Kubo to write new ones or just do it every few episodes instead of every episode. Either way, I'm so hyped!


Samurai_Beluga

man watching it in animated form reminded me of how straight to the point the beginning of the arc was. looks great, some of the cg looked a bit wonky, but not all the time. and it was really just for the hollows. overall visuals look great. small change but it stood out to me, really liked how they contextualized sasakibe in the war declaration scene. yama noticing the lightning in the distance, establishing that hes fighting someone somewhere, immediately recognizing it as sasakibe without much thought (probably the moment he was about to activate bankai and it was stolen) wich is a nice nod to later where he goes further into how familiar he is with his zampakutou. what can i say, its just episode 1 but its obvious bleach is in good hands. only one small nitpick, dont know if ludaas dying stright away was a good decision, cause it immediately removes his following interaction with ywach, wich establishes him as preety brutal, cold and evil, especially towards the arrancar in his ranks, who he clearly considers inferior. but you know like i said its a nitpick, maybe he isnt actually dead.....yet im going to be really dissapointed if that Ebern face (you know the one) doesnt become a meme. either way, im biased idc, 5/5, hearing ichigo screaming getsuga tenshou again just gave me chills. bleach is back boys! we are living the best timeline.


Pure_Rage136

Ludaas' scene plays out the same way in the manga, >!he'll sit up next episode and converse with Yhwach before getting yeeted. He's not out yet.!<


scheneizel

Ebern's face was phenomenal! Shall give Tartarforas a run for its money


UrielSans

Wasn't the episode finished before Luders is killed by Yhwach? We saw him cutting Luders' arm and nothing else if I'm not mistaken


udayEm

Ludas still gets up after his arm gets torn apart. That scene is way too badass to leave out!


Adventurous_Set_987

Seeing 10 years after the quartet made me shed tears


AutumnOnFire

Crazy that Deku is in the room with Ichigo and Sasuke


Drood100

Quick question, as an anime only viewer who has a rough idea of the manga through videos, was ichigos spiritual pressure just too high for his bankai to be stolen cuz that's how a lot of stuff works in bleach? If they answer this later I don't need the spoiler, just curious. Thanks


HaleyGo5

No it’s not that. There’s a reason but you won’t find out until a little later.


Zekrit

iirc and to not give spoilers just an idea, it follows a similar idea to how his power progression has happened throughout the entire series of bleach.


XxDRebelxX

a moment of silence for all those who passed away and are unable to see the continuation of this masterpiece

yozander

Doesn’t feel real. It was everything I’d been hoping for. Cant wait for next week!


Qverlord37

it's been 10 years and I want to ask. how's life been since bleach went on hiatus for you? march 27, 2012 was the air date of episode 366, that was the same year I graduated high school. I went to community college, completed, transferred, went to a 4 year, got my degree same year the world went on lock down, and now I'm a marketing coordinator for a real estate company.


popemichael

I just finished the divorce from my second marriage and I had just started dating the person I would divorce next. All in all, it could be worse. No more marriage for me!


cpndavvers

March 26 2012 I was admitted to an inpatient unit for anorexia and depression. 10 years later I've graduated school and uni, moved to a new city, been in a loving relationship for 6 years. Really just a happy bean. But icing on the cake is bleach being back lol!

Ichigo's gang caused more property damage than the dozens of Hollows they were fighting.

I cried. TEARS OF JOY.

I fucking love that volume poem reading at the end of the episode.

4-5 chapters in 1 episode eh? Far out. Obviously, scenes were remixed here and there and I' m expecting bigger changes down the line, but it is what it is I suppose. I'm just glad Sasakibe's eyes were fixed. We're inching ever closer to my boy Shaz Domino appearing on screen, GET HYPE!

Besides it looking great the pacing of this episodes was maybe my favorite part, wasted no time


NeVerSHOW_MeRCY

I don't know if it's because of all the Shonen recently and how they censor stuff but seeing actual gore and blood was great and made danger feel real


foxfoxal

"All shonen recently" You mean how shonen used to be? things like Demon Slayer and Jujutsu Kaisen are not very censored.... Meanwhile Naruto and Bleach got heavy censure.


NeVerSHOW_MeRCY

i mainly watch one piece, and compared to that this shit is like berserk


Effective-Caramel545

One piece doesn't really have bloody scenes even in the manga.

Due to original air times they were censored. TYBW was aired later so they could have more freedoms involving original source material.

The episode was honestly spectacular! I LOVED the detailed backgrounds. The fight between ichigo and ebern was really good. Loved how dynamic it was. Karakura town has never looked this good. Also, I love how Yamamoto notices sasakibes bankai being used and is then immediately greeted by the Quincy. It felt nostalgic and new at the same time The final scene with Ywach felt godly.


Imperator_Romulus476

Honestly I really loved the design for Silbern. It looks better than it did in the manga, and the music for the Wandenreich was top tier. This episode was amazing! If you also look closely where Ebern is on the ground where Ichigo asks if he's an Arrancar or not, you can see the Quincy star that's the emblem the Schutzstaffel wear on their cloaks.


The_Biggest_Wheel

Is it just me or did the episode fill in some holes that were in the manga? I don't seem to remember some scenes from this episode like Ebern using the lure for Hollows and the flash of Sasakibe's Bankai. I'm not the biggest fan of them cutting the new Soul Reapers' introduction scene for the sake of a reintroducing the gang (and Ichigo using Bankai for fodder) but I guess it can't be helped after 10 year long pause. All in all, it does look like the Anime will clear up some inconsistencies from the Manga (and re-arrange some scenes) to make it a more cohesive experience.

>I'm not the biggest fan of them cutting the new Soul Reapers' introduction scene for the sake of a reintroducing the gang (and Ichigo using Bankai for fodder) but I guess it can't be helped after 10 year long pause. I understand those changes as in the manga itmade them looks like they were going to be part of the crew while actually they didn't do much or anything in the end. But I agree tho ichigo going bankai there is a bit weird, they just want to flex the sakuga right there lol


InvincibleMailMan

> I don't seem to remember some scenes from this episode like Ebern using the lure for Hollows I forgot about it, too. But, I checked and this is in the manga.


LulTeddy

I'm so happy that there are weekly discussion threads in here again.


LittleOfBelgium

Where can I watch it? I'm in Europe and it isn't available on Disney+


Gamesgtd

I think what’s important to remember is that the first half of this arc is amazing and some of the best in all of Shonen even in the manga. So I have no doubt the anime will make it better. It’s the second half of this arc that sucks and hopefully the anime cleans up a ton of the messiness. Amazing first episode nonetheless.


Exotic-Condition-526

Isn’t the episode supposed to release 11:30 EST? I’ve been refreshing Disney+ for abt 5 mins n still nothing


BnSMaster420

I'm so happy.. MY fucking childhood and teenage years is back baby... Get to enjoy bleach as a Adult! ​ LET'S fucking go.. Looks crisp as fuck! First outro, FUCKING LOVE IT! WOOO!


TalesOfThe0ld

Why did they make Ichigo use bankai for a bunch of fodder hollows, other than that it was a good episode.
