Peak is *back*! [](#grandhype) Been *super* fucking stoked for this to come back ever since the second cour ended, it’s been tough lingering on that cliffhanger for so long and I cannot *wait* to see all the crazy stuff I’m sure this season will get up to. [](#concealedexcitement)
– The new OP is *great*, I’ve been listening to the full version on repeat since they released it early yesterday. [](#listen)
– I don’t even mind all that recap, Senjumaru’s Bankai is cool as *fuck*.
– […so right after he lost was *exactly* when the 9 years was up?](https://i.imgur.com/VEsf2E9.png)
– [Oh wow…](https://i.imgur.com/KQEavjK.png)
– Was that a brief Itano Circus using *tapestries*? [](#saberawe)
– Okay, was not expecting Ichibei to break out in song. [](#shock)
– [Welp.](https://i.imgur.com/P5GSqQ6.png) [](#gasp)
– The ED is a *bop*. [](#pigeonbeats)
– Oh good extended post-credits scene, I thought they were gonna troll us with another Kon segment like they did during the Part 2 finale.
– [O…kay, so he’s not dead.](https://i.imgur.com/vXdRYpH.png)
– [Aw sweet](https://i.imgur.com/MswBKrd.png) nice [glimpses of the peeps back on Earth.](https://i.imgur.com/A96Xxh5.png)
– [Aizen hype!!!](https://i.imgur.com/931AV72.png) [](#concealedexcitement)
That’s it Uryu, it’s on sight, you’re about to catch the “A” for the assbeating.
Disrespectfully,
The Senjumaru fanclub
P.S: WHAT!? HE WASN’T A BLACK ANT AT ALL!
We got Ichibei singing before GTA 6 😭
Why are the Bleach threads always so late?
Anyway here is Kubo’s funeral art for this episode

We back Bleach bros(& a bit late). Movie quality episode & even as someone who read the manga I have no idea where the rest of this is heading. That ending was huge.
Spent half the episode showing the previous one, Bleach truly is back <3
/s That was so fucking fire, even though Senjumommy lost we’re so back boys
[removed]
Uryu showing why he has the “A” Schrift and is Yhwach’s successor by beating a Squad 0 member at full power.
I like when Mr. Bleach was all like “It’s Bleachin’ Time!” and then he Bleached all over the place!
Uryu hasn’t gotten a win this big since the soul society arc when he almost killed Mayuri. Happy that this adaptation is making sure everybody knows he is one of the main players and giving him the screen time he deserves.
Quincy just ended the 1000 year Blood War with the Shinigami to start the 1000 year Blood War with Senjumaru fans.
Man thar animation when he was forming the staircase from the material of the soul palace was crazy.
And that ishida fight? His boogie woogie power that switched their places was cool lol
Am I the only one who giggled on Ichibeis head bonking on the floor? I know it’s supposed to be a serious scene but lol
They are cooking this looks great! Recently watched bleach this year skipping the filler. The OG was very good but TYBW has taken this to whole new levels for me.
No anime only is ready for the true power of The Almighty.
showing off cool bankai then getting their asses whooped, not even Squad 0 is immune to this good ol’ Bleach tradition
R.I.P Ichibe– oh nevermind he’s back
Aizen comeback hype!?
I dig the new OP and ED!
11/10 idc if half the episode was recap, we finally back Bleach bros. Ball up top fellas
This episode plus the 20th anniversary trailer and the video game full opening release…we eating good bleach fans
Bleach is back with the most banger TYBW OP yet! Featuring plenty of epic and memoerable scenes and intense fights to come! Ichigo vs Uryu! GRIMMJOW vs Aksin! Lille vs Shunsui! Mayuri and Nemu! Bazz-B vs Jugram! Shirtless Renji! Aizen! Everything you could possibly want in a Bleach season!
Senjumaru’s Bankai was so impressive we needed to see it again in its entirety!
I love how Ichigo and Yoruichi just casually react to the pure power flex that is Senjumaru using her Bankai. Of course it would be nice if Squad Zero completely took care of the Quincies for them…I mean, Senjumaru just turned the Sternritter into frabic, Ichibe just slew the Black Ant Formerly Known as Yhwach, it seems like everything’s been wrapped up, right? Right.
Oh of COURSE Yhwach was just fighting with his eyes closed until he was at full power. That’s…that’s so Bleach. And now he can fight at full power befitting his true title, A, the Almighty!
Uryu is also starting to unleash his full power as a Sternritter and facing off against Senjumaru personally, complete with battling her fabrics and even her fabric Hollows.
Ichibe can do a big song and dance with the power of Black at this disposal while waxing lyrical about killing Yhwach…but Yhwach will just pull a Joseph Joestar and blow him up until there’s nothing left but his head.
Senjumaru, maybe don’t reference Mayuri and like one of the biggest fights Uryu has actually won…becauase then he’ll turn your Bankai against you and shoot you straight through the heart. Wow, Uryu actually killed her! His catchphrase was accurate! Though it seems like he still can’t fully control his powers.
With Squad Zero all dead there’s nothing that can stop Yhwach from forming his own stairs straight to the Soul King…until Ichigo arrives, revives Ichibe with his name (in a really horrific black slime recreation of his body), and runs off to fight Yhwach. Too bad they’re seemingly too late to save the Soul King.
The ED is pretty nice and dynamic! Featuring all your favorite characters (including the Bambis!) and their fate to fight, especially Ichigo and Uryu.
Yhwach at the end of the OP looks like he knows what Victoria’s Secret is?
Kubo’s really making sure Uryu gets his shine this time around. Sad to see Senjumommy go out like that but her and the rest of Squad 0 were great. Next week we’ll get to see the proper debut of Pierrot Films and what that extra time and resources can do I’m hype!
Episode was like 40% recap.
Oh yeah, Bleach is back all right!
So, I’m not really shocked that they reshowed stuff from the last episode. I always assumed they would reshow the Ichibe stuff. Although, the Senjumaru fight was also still going on, so I understand why, especially since it’s been a whole year. At least they did add some new stuff in between the old stuff. Now, onto the actually new stuff:
Finally, the Almighty is here. In my opinion, it’s one of the most broken abilities in anime, lol.
Ishida stock has gone up, alright. Did he just get a Vollständig!? Kubo, what are you cooking?
They turned Futen Taisatsuryō into a ritual dance. That makes sense.
This ended exactly where I thought the last season was going to end. Literally, the same spot (Soul King stabbed), lol. So, for me, this kind of felt like a holdover from last time. I still very much enjoyed it, especially the after-credit scene. And, as always, a dope title card.
From what the Japanese previews said, the next episode will have a very big fight, so I’m excited to see some brand-new stuff.
Was anything in the first half new? It’s been awhile since I’ve seen the previous episode.
That was awesome. Flashback was too long for my taste, but we’ve got plenty more episodes to make up for that.
The animation is clearly up a few notches. I had to rewind a few times.
We’re so fucking back!!!!!
Conclusion to Senjumommy vs uryu was amazing! 😍
Senjumommy lost coz she had to but I really liked the way they did it. Ichibei vs Yhwach was also pretty great. Would’ve been even better ep without the recap but yeah whatever.
Have heard outstanding reviews for the next episode. Really looking forward to it!
ishida doing a “no u” to a zero squad member was definitely..something i guess. i don’t know if i like that.
KINO. Pierrot. I kneel before you
Great episode, but Senjumaru is gone and I’m hurt
Man, Kubo has fucking *cooked* with the anime adaption. Yhwach vs Ichibei was basically the same as the manga (though making Ichibei’s ~~Cursed Technique~~ Grand Mausoleum a ritualistic song is new, and fantastic), but my man gave Uryu the fucking glow up. Confirmed he has a Vollstandig of some kind (though it seems incomplete), we get to see his broken Schrift in action (there’s a reason he’s A, same as Yhwach. It’s basically “no you” to anything), and he manages to solo Bankai Senjumommy. Unfortunate that she has to lose, but it’s a shonen, too early for the bad guys to all die. Now it’s up to IchiGOAT and crew to stop Yhwach. I’m hoping Chad is getting the glow up too.
And also we got more teases of the GOAT villain Aizen! Hell yeah.
We are so unbelievably back.
We just got an anime of the year contender right here boys
Yhwach walking up the footsteps was cinematic movie quality, Cinema
God Almighty. Red eyes, black hair. Ichigo’s Mugetsu form makes sense now.
Makes sense Yhwach would wait the amount of time for when his power would return him it wouldn’t make sense for him to attack the soul society and the soul palace early. He really planned all of this out.
Also Uryu showing his new power he demonstrated when Yhwach go out of the cage in cour 2. From the looks of it he has the ability to replace object/teleport objects but it can also apply to objects and people.
It also seems despite Ichibe telling ichigo to stop Yhwach the look on his face seems he doesn’t think they’ll be able to do that either 😅
