AsuraTM

Bleach has returned

Torrin

Now you know what malevolent shrine was based off of

Conflictor

Part 1 was the Blood Warfare test run introduction Part 2 was the consistent development payback in blood of Separation Part 3 is the revelations & Twists of Conflict redefining everything we know. BLEACH from here on out is nothing but Absolute Cinema 🙌 The rest of this arc is brought to you by Pierrot Films to put Pierrot back on the map as one of, if not the greatest OG studios of anime. The callback parallel to Aizen & Kisuke’s final conversation when he was getting sealed back in Ep 309 about the Soul King and what Ichibe tells Ichigo at the end of this episode is hauntingly & poetically phenomenal. ‬ ‪And here comes Yhwach who just decides to flip the script and chess board knocking the table out of the way to return the world saw it once was as one.‬ Now while A = Almighty, remember Uryu also has the same Schrift (Letter) of power that Yhwach does, so more on that later on the name of it when it’s revealed. What he did switching Senjumaru’s fabric threads onto her look like what Itachi did to Kurenai with his Tsukuyomi in Naruto, not to mention it’s a also callback to when he one shotted Mayuri and his bankai in Ep 44 back in the soul society arc.‬ Lastly Fun Fact: Ichibe’s Futen Taisatsuryō which translates to "Slaughterous Mausoleum of Halted Reincarnation” is what directly inspired Sakuna’s Malevolent shrine and it’s not even a Bankai which have generally inspired domain expansions. Bleach is something else…. Next week is one for the history books as brought to you by the King of Get Backs.‬

Thanks🙏🏾

Conflictor

Anyways, thanks Roshi for always coming in clutch and the quick service responses. I genuinely gotta say you guys might just be the best anime, if not THE best reactors.😤💯

Niko

I’m so hyped for the bleach return! It’s one of my favorites in this fall line up and it just feels right for fall ✨

Awakened

Yhwach is literally Hitler with the power of Jesus that just returned after getting blacked & clapped. Kubo knows what he’s doing. Kisuke: “When you say that thing, are you talking about the Soul King?” I see, so you saw it, didn’t you?………. Without the existence of the Soul King the Soul Society would split into pieces, the Soul King is the keystone to it all, without that keystone in place the system would fall apart, that my friend is how the world works.” Aizen: “That’s an argument only a loser would make!!!” “A victor should speak of how the world should be rather than how it currently operates, I refuse to accept a world ruled by that thing, I am a Victor! I shall decide how the world should be!!!” -Aizen & Kisuke Urahara as the 4D chess players back in Bleach Ep 309, video here https://youtu.be/8ofKrRHECkI?si=qWOhMLJXi6ipnVnX and also https://x.com/wind_ofdeath/status/1842615415304044997?s=61&t=1VigzxkX26iJZItobY59WA

I'm probably gonna get some hate for saying it, but I really don't think we needed THAT much recap. Glad to be back, though, and I'm looking forward to next week.

Awakened

It’s been a year since the last part so it was much needed and besides it lined up with the Kaiser Kasang (Quincy king folklore) 9 minute reveal awakening of Yhwach’s almighty, not to mention there was a new added scene from the main cast perspectives in the middle of it, so it worked out in the end anyways.

BZD

Chad is the Krillin of the group.

dilton

bleach has never been more back 🙌

Lucky_Icarus

Nah I think Chad is Tien. He was a problem when he was introduced, proceeds to do more or less nothing for the rest of the series, except for that on one really cool thng that one time(Tien with Neo Tri Beaming Cell and Chad punching a dude and having a skull indent into the wall). I would say Renji is Krillin, especially since he gets the baddie in the end.

Merfhew

@Awakened - I think that should have been shown in the 2nd cour instead of spending half of the finale on that weird Kon thing. Production issues are the worst. Still, if we'd gotten a 2 or 3 minute recap this episode, I would have been fine, but they literally just reused the final X minutes of the last episode. For a season premiere, that kinda takes some of the wind out of its sails.

damnjerick

Nah Yhwach is so broken lmfao

Devin B

Agreed, they could've just did a quick 2-3 minute recap instead of fully showing us the ending scenes of the last cour

Isaac

Real talk, I agree. At this day and age, continuation of a franchise has such a huge ass gap that people need to make it common practice to just refresh themselves. But we know the real reason they do recap ... shortcutting production. Reusing what's already made to lighten the load of animating everything else, blahblahblah.

Devin B

I'm tired of the Chad slander. You know his role in this fight is to give Ichigo that friendship power up by saying his name when he's getting beat up.

Franklin Saint

Yea we were already told that yhwach is the son of the soul king I believe from the previous cour

Devin B

He was before but he regressed to Chiaotzu in this arc because even Krillin was useful in some situations

Basedra

Like I said if Uryu can get a glow up then Chad can too, I have faith.

Patrick

When ichibe started singing, all I could think of is "paint it black" by the Rolling Stone 😅

MonarchXIII

Fun fact: The recap is almost exactly 9mins long. That had to be intentional given the poem about his resurrection with a strong emphasis on "9".

Coatl45

Ichibe’s song was a soul destroying ritual magic. He was looking to erase Ywach utterly, both to defeat him now, and to prevent him from ever returning. But apparently, Ywach is some kind of eldritch abomination, so that wasn’t enough to kill him.

Josh

Day 29 of my campaign for a Mr Robot reaction.

Arkan Matlub

Since when did a bankai become domain expansion

Conflictor

Except it wasn’t really under any production issues. It was just under a tight schedule, cour 2 was more consistent, but it just didn’t reach the same peaks as cour 1 yet what they managed to do in only 6 months was incredible. Don’t let your feelings dictate or try to turn it into information when it’s disinformation.

YungZeus

Chad and Ganju think they on the team 😭 Ichibe lucky Ichigo ain’t bad with names like Luffy. Bro would’ve never been revived.

Nicchee

So we gonna act like bakuya hasn't been dropping domain expansions since soul society?

Terry King Jr

Kaname Tosen's Bankai was a domain expansion and that was in the Soul Society arc. You forgot?

ShaquanVirse

Chad need to change his name cause he ain't a chad

원 지

chad the goat lol

L1NG

the way some bankais work have clearly inspired DE

Asher Ealey

Yeah Chad is really that one dude who is sorry as hell but you bring him to ball runs because he is one of your homies.

Enyinnaya Igwe

They gave Chad a new outfit and everything, bruh. He’s COOKED😂😭

mal

chad not ready for none of them niggas😂

Conflictor

@Merfhew Except that was mostly due to the recap that it had following episode 21 which was the only episode that you can argue had some behind-the-scenes production issues regarding the art and layout, the rest was concerning other things.

Kevin Kovacs

I was wondering they gonna skip the opening and I'm happy and sad at the same time. I hope we still get to a reaction for it later on.

DJ

The coolest thing as a Bleach fan is seeing this arc getting the time and love needed to flesh out the ideas of the Manga. The Zero division and Ichibee feel as formidable as the should have been in the Manga.

A. P.

Hyousube thought he was in Joker 2 for a sec. I'd be so annoyed fighting someone who has to sing to activate their ability AND you already know what's about to happen lol

Fallen.1

If I hear "Roar, Zabimaru!" ima just skip the episode

Nick Vaughn

Glad y’all skipped the intro. I know Roshi read this arc in the manga and knows what’s coming but I know Lupa would’ve been annoyed seeing certain things that the intro gives away

CAM

Have fun y'all. I have 4 weeks till dub drops🥹

AutumnOnFire

Just a clarification on why they did a recap at the beginning: They did it so that at exactly 9:00 he "opens his eyes" and gets his full powers back, just like they said in his chant: Over 900 years, he shall recover his heartbeat. Over 90 years, he shall recover his intellect. Over 9 years, he shall recover his power. And over 9 days, he shall recover the world.

Arkan Matlub

No, haven’t watched it. Or I did on the early, I just remember them getting forms, not actually making the surrounding area visually different

Ichigoat

Now Lupa got me thinking about some big ass Ichibei cheeks showing up in the air with that wild ass comment🤣

Wassim aitikhlef

uryu deadass is like top 6 of the verse with the shit he just pull through.

Wassim aitikhlef

i love how sheera is in denial of the soul king death. it made me laugh

Ichigoat

So Renji hate has just been passed on to Chad. How this man start catching strays before Ganju the clown comic relief character

CornCobBob

Ichibe should've done that 1000 years ago. Y'know, when they were sitting on their fat asses while Yamamoto and original Gotei 13 were taking care of business.

Kaulos

everybody shittin on chad but the last mf that need to be up there is ganju

ron swanson

well prayers for yall safety and when this is all over and its halloween month yall should react to smile you wont be disapointed

Isaac

Ichibei'd ritual was pretty damn cool. It was giving old world, giving ancient traditional ritual shit. Had very sinister undertones. Too bad that shit did absolutely nothing. Same with home girl's entire IKEA Bankai. Basically did nothing which I feel bleach has a bad habit of doing with these very epic, showey Bankai abilities but I shouldn't get hung up on.

Jay

Haven’t read the manga or anything so I’m here wondering wtf is Chad & Ganju going to do against Yhwach & the strongest Quincies 😭

Jay

My least favorite character from the Soul Society arc tbh. He got no business being up there

Jay

Agreed. In Soul Society I feel like they setup Renji to be the Vegeta of the show/manga but he takes too many Ls & never feels like he’s close to Ichigo’s level. And everytime Renji gets stronger, Ichigo also gets stronger and by more. The Krillin comparison definitely fits.

BZD

I have never even thought of Renji as really being part of the group. I always considered him just a person who was also on the same side as them. But then again, it’s been like a decade since I watched the original bleach.

AKEEM

Bro got his powers on the 9 minute mark

Sham3ful

Fr, glad we got too waaay more of them from the bit we originally got in the manga & LN instead of just "Aye pray y'all get scenes in the anime the way Kubo ran through that"

Gordon Lou

yeah afterall in the manga, squad 0 all died with no pull up and the rest of ywach's royal guards all got their own stuff going on. So in the anime, they kinda have to keep the end result the same unless they change what happens in the manga.

Ren Lichtfoot

The good news is I think Squad Zero can now be revived? I mean, Ichibe can probably bring them back to life using the same method he used on himself, especially if they are all life linked. He's the captain of Squad Zero, so I imagine that his life is also linked to theirs, no?

Jordan Postle

Kinda ruins a story like Bleach in my opinion. Hopefully it's just his ability and it has limitations.

Fizzy

Chad fall off needs to be studied he really peaked in the hueco mundo arc 🤣🤣🤣🤣

stardmg

I really wasn't a fan of how long the recap went on this episode. I get that it's been like 10 months but if they didn't do this dumb release schedule in the first place they wouldn't have had to waste half this episode.

Trequan Williams

Kubo didn’t give af when he was making these quince powers he just made all of them mf cold asf 🤣

stardmg

So yeah, just to make it clear if it wasn't: Yhwach's power, The Almighty, is straight up omniscience. Welcome to one of the most broken antagonists in all of anime.

Coatl45

He did say that it took 100 nights from Soul Society 100 years in the future. I don’t know what exactly that entails, but it sounds like a pretty hefty price. This isn’t simple magic. There’s a price that must be paid to use dark magic that violates the natural order of the world like this. Ichibe was trying to avoid that like any sensible being.

Basedra

I’ve also read the manga, Uryu didn’t get this moment in the manga, I have hope.

DsWorldd •

So is nobody else questioning how tf uryu somehow got out of that? And how exactly that chick got trapped by HER OWN BANKAI? And didn’t realize?? Am I tweaking??💀

Shiroja

Ichigo actually said no I don't want to fight him. He then proceeded to change his name and go to blue lock.

Amphyprion

He used the schrift granted to him by Yhwach. Not spoiling it on what it does.

Amphyprion

Yeah I'm pretty sure it is the original Kido. They used to be like that (poems, songs, rituals), then shortened to have just a chant or skip the chant alltogether when used in combat

DsWorldd •

Alrr thanks, assumed if anything it was some ability thats explained later but I didn’t see anybodyy saying anything😭

y0ungship

Nah ichigo said i wanna fight and got eliminated from bluelock to come back here

y0ungship

They made the recap this long to make it so when yhwach regained his strenght after 9 years it coincided with the 9th minute of this episode

JohnnySmoke

I'm so hard rn thinking about cour 3 and 4

Bona Fide

I've missed bleach

Expired Breast Milk

Shutara stated from the jump that so long as one the Squad Zero member is alive then they can all be revived. These are deaths gods that have been appointed by the Soul King and you're surprised they can revive easily?

Expired Breast Milk

Yeah but its warranted with Chad in a way that it wasn't with Renji. Chad straight up has had no love from Kubo since the Arrancar arc LMAO

Luhbabytay

Shonen anime is always funny… they always introduce these strong ass characters just for them to get clap then somehow someway the mc gotta step in and find a way to stop the villain that defeated them lmao.. like if y’all couldn’t do it then how tf I’m supposed to do it?

Theo Williams-smith

Senjumaru going in the hall of fame of racists next to frieza & em she hates quincies boi😂

NINJA SWORD

Keep Chad's name outta your mouth roshi

Panda

"Ywhahahahaha" has obtained the six eyes, nah but fr im pretty sure this was where gege got the idea for six eyes.

FreshxEli Tv

Technically Chad by definition should be able to hurt them since his powers belong to a hollow 🤣😭 the question is Will Chad be strong enough to even hurt them lol

Awakened

It’s like the meme: “Nein, Nein, Nein, Nein, Nein” which just sounds like nine repeated.

Awakened

Chad will get his due diligence, un until now it’s just a play on the fact that his name is Chad which in real life always wins and on top, but in Bleach that means nothing as it’s introverted or reversed.

geebus

900 years 90 years 9 years 9 min recap kubos is a genious

imani

I don't know if others have said it, but the opening is filled to the brim with spoilers. Please don't watch it if you can avoid doing so

Panda

Idk i see some similarities, A allows him to see into all the different futures. The Six eyes allows gojo to see CE and others use CT's allowing him to read(or in a way predict) their next move when others wouldn't. I don't mean a 1 for 1 copy, but inspiration possibly since we know gege already did take inspiration from Bleach.

Antonio

Right??? Like ichigo was too calm talking to Ichibe after being confident that the Zero Squad could handle the situation

Conflictor

It’s done intentionally on purpose to be the reverse inverted of the real world Chad that everybody looks up to.

Lsg_Lani

Nah I knew almighty was some bullshit but the fact that they had him say the power is “incomprehensible” is hilarious cuz it’s really stupidly broken to the point it don’t make sense 💀

Khalil Tippin

If it wasn't boiled...wait, wrong show

Ren Lichtfoot

There's quite a few animes that have featured characters with multiple pupils or retina. I think this based on an actual condition that occurs sometimes in humans. It's called polycoria.

CornCobBob

Well, you gotta consider, on one hand, 100 nights, and on the other hand, all the nights cuz the world would potentially end. Ichibe kept on underestimating the "son of the soul king" with crazy disrespect cuz he's arrogant as hell. Ywach may not of warranted the bankai treatment back then but Ichibe should've been wiser.

These Plums

Aww, he has his daddy’s eyes.

P0laris

@Steve Harvey Dent: The true weakness of all men with multiple irises and pupils...

Trey

I want all bleach scalers to know I REFUSE to power scale with yall and these broken ahh abilities

AutumnOnFire

It's basically King Crimson, but without the stand. I don't know if you watched Jojo though.

Lsg_Lani

Nah I haven’t should I? That’s a show I see everyone mention but I don’t know know anyone who watches it

Anh Duc Vu

Probably Roshi didnt notice it. But 9 minutes recap at the start (exactly 9 minutes after opening) just so Yhwach activates his power exactly 9 minutes in after 9 years. Last episode of bleach was aired 2012. Bleach´s return in 2021. 2021-2012 = 9 years. It was also said in the manga that it took 9 years for Yhwach to regain his power. 900 years 90 years 9 years 9 minutes. The Author is cooking. I hope Roshi sees that

Fraudkuna

I mean, power scaling is dumb. Lol Imagine wasting like 30 minutes coming up with ways for your character to beat another one and they lose next episode due to plot convenience (or worse, the writer's incompetence).

AutumnOnFire

I liked it, though I can't say it was like my favorite thing of all time. If you got time, sure, why not?

Lsg_Lani

Bet thanks. I’ll add it to the list lol. I’m at ep 547 of one piece so after I catch up there I’ll start it up
