TYBW Episode 31 is here - and Aizen makes an incredible entrance! What did you think of today's episode? What was your favourite moment? Let me know - thanks everyone!
I'm a little sad that the episode cut the part of the manga where, before the mass of shadows manifested from the Soul King attacks Soul Society, Jugram reassures the royal guard by telling them that the enemies of the Soul King are the Soul Reapers, not the Quincies. It's one line that hints at a ton and ties in with what the anime has been revealing about the Soul King's past. Other than that though, I thought it was a really good episode.
I like how Soifon became so comfortable with her bankai, that she pulls it up like it's some 9mm Glock in pocket whenever something inconvenient happen
@@TheRetifox I think losing it really made her value what she had. It's like that one Full Metal Jacket quote. Still, I contend her Bankai is still very incomplete.
@@iusethisnameformygoogleacc1013 Honestly I just think it's something that for the most part got dropped from the storyline Especially since it was never even properly explained at all to begin with
Aizen made it seem like the other captains like Urahara should sense the energy disturbance. It was odd because I thought when you reach a level of transcendence your spiritual pressure isn't detected in the same way. Maybe it's just an Dangai Ichigo thing.
And some people last year said he losses to Senjumaru, some even still said so this year, its good kubo put this here to show the caliber of difference Aizen is, only Chair sama and Yhwach are threats to him currently. Hopefully he pulls Bankai.
I love how Kon says “wrong line, your supposed to beat me up” when ichigo doesn’t because it’s what Kon was expecting because that’s what happens in the manga in that scene. I love the anime adaptation so much for little details like that. They’re building on the source material and adding awesome anime only moments while having these fun little nods to the manga for those who read it.
Ichigo, Shunsui, Aizen, Grimmjow, Jugram- they just all get so much detailing on their faces, it's so gorgeous. Kisuke also has some consistency with it, for that matter.
Aizen owned. Also liked how the scattered forces of Gotei 13 regrouped to hear Shunsui's speech alongside others. Really shows the damage they sustained and how they reeled for a time afterwards, Shunsui doing away with the previous strict and highly selective recruiting process. Overall a solid episode that perfectly captured the state of affairs as the war draws to its end game.
Doesn't matter nanana stomps 😑 Honestly it was totally unnecessary to show that a henchmen can one shot aizen n then he goes toe to toe against yuha peak writing kubo 😑
For me it's cos I wanna see what the biggest Bleach fans think of how the anime's adapting the arc. I haven't read the manga but I know it got pretty bad due to Kubo's health.
@@tater8960it probably comes from all the anime that rely on 3D for fights and it completely comes off mismatched from the anime style. This looks in the same style.
Even 3 GOATS of Bleach (Aizen, Kyoraku, Mayuri) had to point out Chair-sama‘s insane power level. But let this not distract you from this episode’s true hero Kon. Who has gone out of his way to fix Ichigo x Orihime.
I love the scene where Soi fon snapped at Urahara, it's a wonderful parallel and callback to "turnback the pendulum" when Yoruichi scolded Urahara in a very similar way and for the same reason. I think it shows a bit of growth for her character where she is getting over her petty hate for kisuke and trying to make their relationship one of equals.

Also, I'm glad they kept the "shoot the soul palace down for you" from the source material too. It really puts into perspective just how powerful Aizen actually is. He was NOT joking.

@@visionary4787 I personally don't want Aizen in the Royal Palace because I feel he would be a bit too OP and take focus away from characters who might need the spotlight more, like Ryuuken, Isshin, or the Vizards. It would also be funny that even now, his desire to ascend to the Royal Palace would be for naught. That being said, it would be funny if Aizen and Ryuuken were actually in the same place for once, given that Aizen did ruin the latter's life to an extent.
@@MrGksarathyAnother reason why Aizen can’t go up to Soul Palace is because we wont get the iconic line: “Welcome To MY Soul Society.” when Ywach Portals down to Sereitei
it makes you understand why they would crucify the soul king 😭I wouldnt feel save with a all powerfull edritch god sending leeches to kill monsters that CAN look just like a human but with a mask
I was just smiling every time they showed another minor named Shinigami in the episode. It’s those little touches of remembering all the small guys that I love in a long running series.
another realization: The fact that only Aizen can truly sense the change in Ywachs spiritual pressure from absorbing the SK is great too. Aizen is already transcendent and now that Ywach is trancesdant, only Aizen would be able to actually "feel" it. Which is why Urahara asks: "what makes you think he did that?" And Aizen responds, almost surprised: "Can't you....feel the change in Ywachs spiritual pressure??" This is a specific nod back to Aizens explanation of beings being able to sense/feel the spiritual pressure of the 3rd and 4th dimension or trascendent beings . An example is when Aizen couldn't "feel" reiatsu from Ichigo in Mugetsu form because Ichigo was on a higher plane at the time. This confirms that Aizen is 100% still transcedent and on the same plane as SK Ywach if he can "feel" it. woooooow.... 🤯
@@jamaleverett7337 Holy shit, I didn't catch that. Then again, most of the gang in the Royal Palace could tell his reiatsu had shifted, but that's probably because they could see it. Ichigo is probably the only one who can sense it aside from Aizen, then.
Wait, If that's the case, then was the Mugetsu Ichigo on an even higher plane than this Yhwach, since Aizen couldn't feel Ichigo's reiatsu then, but this Yhwach he could!?
@@MrGksarathyits because he was on another process of evolving right before he got sealed . So i dont think he's constantly getting stronger because there is no stimulation for growth just by sitting.
@@Hansen_0101 As everyone's said, Aizen's reiatsu wasn't shut off, just restrained close to him. This probably let him do a Frieza and use that as training.
I absolutely loved this episode. There was so much amazing content. I was surprised at Aizen's humbled moment. When he said to Kyoraku that he has never been unconscious before. Nanana is lucky that he died. lol
I really love how Kyoraku lets everybody get everything out if they disagree with what he did. Like everybody saying it's disgraceful to let Aizen out of Muken. You'd never see that with Yamamoto. Kyoraku lets them get it out and then says I get it, but I'm doing this for a reason and they move on
1. Shunsui speech was by far the biggest highlight. Seeing him embrace his role with resolve in the midst of the biggest crisis was incredible. 2. Ukitake still suffering to literally hold the world together was my second highlight It shows why the Old Man set them apart as the best of the best.
aizen's reiatsu and the kurohitsugi sequence was apparently animated by a really up and coming chinese animator from billibilli, which is a big studio in china! i have seen his work before in some other stuff of chinese origin and i'm really glad they got him on tybw. he did great work!
I'm sure I'm only echoing a lot of other comments, but it's insane how throughout every episode, I'm always think "I cant wait to see what MrTommo thinks of this" !
Everyone is coming back for an appearance in TYBW, even Afro-san and Maki-Maki, meanwhile Tessai...💀 But yeah, Kyoraku doing the Erwin's speech was good, he's the captain GOAT commander for a reason
PEAK FICTION!!!🔥 Aizen's comeback and Shõ Hayami just killed it with his voice acting skills also Grimmjow's return what an episode Btw guys let's be honest Aizen's face is just perfect it really looks better than the last episode🔥😂
It was great seeing so many characters show up and fixing a bunch of issues the manga had, I loved every second of it, also seeing Mashiro be Not Dead made me audibly do a double check. Also Mayuri's construct reminded me of a Teratoma, with also the eyes, nose etc growing there, gnarly stuff
The storytelling animation, music choice is all superb. The part where he used hado #90 gave me a sense of dread and scale and personality about the show I didn’t know I needed. The threat felt so real and ominous. It’s hard to explain but this episode set such a tone and it seems like like every episode this cour has been a 10/10 unlike any action anime I’ve ever seen before. When it’s all said and done in its entirety this won’t just be the best action anime ever, it will be the best anime ever. Truly the number one peak of anime.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again…Renji and Bazz-B could’ve been friends! They actually would’ve in another life! And the way Rukia was watching them was hilarious. 😂
@@pieoverlord He is an inexplicable old badass. Who doesn't want more of him? It helps that his death in the manga was extremely humanizing and memorable.
It's that briefcase, what's in it? Some world ending level up power or a super weapon or the wandenreich's tax documents? We don't know and as a result these theory's is all that we have left.
I'm glad Afro dude moved up to 10th seat since the Arrancar Arc. But I'm disappointed that the scene where the eyeball monsters poured out of Yhwach and cutting Haschwalth line saying that they are the enemies of the Quincy.
Yeah, I'm a bit saddened that Jugram saying that the monsters manifested from the Soul King are the enemies of the Soul Reapers was cut as well. It's one line that hints at a lot, especially with what the anime has added with the flashback showing Ichibei gleefully cutting the Soul King into pieces.
I found it interesting that Jugram's line about the eye ball monsters was removed, the line being "Calm yourselves, this is the flood of the soul king's power. It will not harm any of you... for the soul king's enemies are the Shinigami"
I was looking forward to that line and was a bit disappointed that it was cut. It's one line that hints at a ton, especially now that we know from the anime-only flashback in cour 2 that Ichibei gleefully cut Soul King Adnyeus into pieces.
When Liltotto said they won't get in the Soul Reapers way or let the other Sternritters either, it makes me think that potentially Robert Accutrone will try to stop Bazz-B and the others from heading to the Royal Palace (since we didn't see him officially dead in the anime). It would be possible since NaNaNa survived the Auswählen despite thinking he died (due to Kubo's artwork hinting his death). Or maybe I'm just breathing in that sweet copium XD
What Liltotto said made me think that those 3 Quincy dimwits, reduced the number of sternritters. They turned on each other already. So basically no sternritters left to get in soul society’s way
You know you talked about soi fon and I always thought that she should be in the fight against askin,just because we could see 3 shunko with different elements in the same battle.
its possible if it gets reworked, considering her Nigeki Kessatsu won't work on him if his immunity counters it since he can raise his own lethal dosage so it could be a pure hakuda/shunko fight.
This episode was absolutely amazing as both a showing of rhe aftermath of the previous episodes and a setup for the next episodes. I love how the team at peirot is handling the content. ❤💚💙
Not commenting on the little Shinji/Soi Fon interaction (because you were talking about something else) hurt my soul a bit. I love the side humor in episodes like this.
I wonder if with the fact Yhwach didn't absorb Mimihagi and Ukitake still seems to be connected up if Mimihagi may make another appearance, like rn its just recovering somewhere secretly
I would not be surprised. The fact Ukitake is still Mimihagi'd + the fact that Ukitake getting new scenes was such a big thing for this cour, I wouldn't be shocked if they had another go at Yhwach
Even if Ukitake still ends up dying to set up his role in the arc-that-shall-not-be-named, it would be awesome if he still got something to do in TYBW. Uryu’s hand during the Senjumaru fight having a mimihagi pattern in blut gets me thinking we might get Ukitake as part of Uryu’s plan to sneak Yhwach or something. The immunity to almighty’s future sight is a plot point that should be used to achieve something in the story.
@@masterstyx2877 mimihagi bout to hide in uryu allowing his intentions to be hidden from yhwh or uryu alr has a soul king fragment could be one of the 2 i suspect
@Shirosaki_Ichigo would be a good way to do things but I think Yhwach has probably absorbed Mimihagi along with reio now. Except it's off screen this time. Would be strange if he beat it without absorbing it. And also now that he's absorbed reio, he should not be blind to mimihagi and other pieces. For he is the soul king himself now
I LOVE this episode man! I've read it, but watching it on screen with all the supporting voices and color really makes it a new experience. Kudos to the whole team for bringing me the good ol' happiness of watching an anime
Missing Characters: - Iba and Komamura - Robert Acutrone - Candice and Meninas - Yachiru* - Hanataro - (- Tessai :,( ) Side Note: What is up with Ukitake? I'm hoping Robert, Meninas, and Catniss (and maybe Shaz) cause some characters to stay back and fight them, giving them something to do, and lessening the Wahrwelt Squad. That or a cool scene of a crippled Robert walking up to the gate, giving a speech or so.
@@shahlegno5890 Its hard to say. Yes, he already had his death art, but so did Nanana, and Liltotto mentioned keeping "other" sternritters out of the way. Realistically, I think he won't show up since the anime is already as fast paced as it is and might not be able to afford another new fight. But at the same time, the anime has given Robert a fair amount of new scenes that appear to be building something up. My hope is he'll show up to cause trouble in a desperate attempt to earn Ywhach's favor, and get bodied instantly.
SPOILER! Komamura the dog was maybe in the cave. Yachiru, Kenpachi's sword's spirit was of course gone. Haven't you watched the earlier episodes or read the manga to know what's happening to Ukitake?🗿
Ukitake at this point should already be dead (that's in the manga of course), Yhwach should have already completely absorbed Mimihagi. Could they probably have some other plan for Ukitake? 🤔
im enjoying a lot your videos lately, i wish i would have discovered your content earlier, thank you for all this videos you have been droping king, much love from mexico
Yet another episode of peak. These new scenes are EVERYTHING and it’s so fucking cool seeing how much they elevate this arc where it needed extra help. This is seriously a generational anime adaptation, insane how much love is being put into this show.
16:28 if I’m not mistaken, the reason NaNaNa is alive in cfyow is because Mayuri got his body and zombified it like the arrancars. Same goes for Meninas and Candice. Meanwhile, poor Robert seems to have just been abandoned 😅
@@MrGksarathy I mean I agree that I think they’re still alive, but they do end up in mayuri’s hands by the time of cfyow. Kinda hope we see them again before the end of tybw
@@otakugameraquarius1883 Same. They're hot, have pretty colorful powers, and they could use more characterization, especially Meninas. I can't quite get a bead on what she's supposed to be.
@@MrGksarathy Meninas isn’t really supposed to be too special of a character kinda like most of the sternritter, but since we know they’ll make it outta the war alive like the other bambies and NaNaNa, I think it’s safe to assume that they’ll make an appearance in hell. Wouldn’t hurt to have them on the good guys side, maybe flesh them out somewhat, and we could even have sternritter interactions we’ve never seen down there. If I was writing, I would definitely use them
@@MrGksarathy They should bring them back for the next arc in the manga. Make of one of them Uryu's fiance or something. Maybe Chad and Meninas have a boxing match. Maybe Orihime can restore Bambi
I remember Ichiruki copers in previous cours coming here to say that Kubo was going to change the end pairings because of ichiruki's popularity lmao, where are they now huh? Kubo's pushing Ichihime even harder and more is to come!
Bazz-B probably wasn't sure if any other sternritter survived so he was just saying that if any others showed up to attack they would take care of them.
@@JuviaLockser12 That's actually pretty cool, and I feel it sets up Liltotto's later role as the defacto leader of the Quincy remnants, much like how Shinji lead the Vizards.
Since I haven’t read TYBW in literal years, I always have to rely on your stuff after making my own reactions to figure out what was changed. I am in a weird state of knowing things have changed but also not knowing what has been changed.
I recommend watching soul madness' mmv videos. Honestly they're better than cours 1 and 2 with the music he used. Cour 3 has too many new scenes so it's definitely better in the anime.
Bro I can't even imagine anime only's genuient reaction after this ep. Aizen and Grimjzow coming back in the same Episode and so many characters interacting with each other that never did before. (Characters that didn't even interact in the manga)
I love the fact that kenpachi still hates yhwach because he killed yamamoto People seem to forget the yamamoto DID take him in and train him and was also a father figure to him, so it's nice to see that he has a reason instead of just fight because fight
This episode was solid and a good change of pace episode after we had all this crazy shit happening the last 4 episodes and before things get hectic again.
I do kind of like that Aizen got bullied a bit by everyone, from the vice-captains, Kyoraku, Mayuri and Nanana👀 And I think we all had the same reaction to that plinth. Bloody hell, Mayuri
Kubo hasn’t missed yet and every episode in this Cour has been perfect or close to it. I used to dream about seeing the TYBW in anime form. What a time to be alive, 11/10 episode 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
14:45 Outbursts like these for moments that seem casual but are actually huge when put in the context of the source material are the reason i enjoy watching your reactions!😅
I think there are 2 reasons ukitake didnt die early in this episode 1. time: the episode had a lot of new interactions that wouldnt be possible to fit in if they were mourning ukitake, while they could have had a short sad moment it wouldnt feel right. 2. defining what he is: he said he literally became the soul kings right arm. most of the life force going to mimihage before it was absorbed, the wisp of energy going off him being the last bits of life he has slipping away. to be more clear he was a vessel in the manga for both power and mind, where in the anime we is the soul kings right arm containing its power while being a vessel for its mind. which would explain him not immediately dying when mimihage was absorbed. great episode love bleach
I had goosebumps last night when I watched it the moment the episode 31 was released PS: Kudos also to the voice actors, it gave more life to the amazing animation
The restructuring of the "Gate" plot really worked for me. Combined with Shunsui's speech and the gathering of all the Soul Reapers it makes for a much more exciting scene than the manga. This feels final. Everyone is here and they're heading into the battle that determines everything. They might not return but they are going together. Really beautiful, especially because the same thing is happening with Ichigo's group where Nel, Grimmjow and the Fullbringers will join them.

Hado 90 Kurohitsugi
The episode showed me that what we truly need is mashiro against robert. It would be a reason for Mashiro to stay and a cool showoff for both of them
When Head Captain Kyoraku put some respect on Kisuke’s name by calling him “Urahara Taicho”
Grimmjow entrance

I like how Soifon became so comfortable with her bankai, that she pulls it up like it's some 9mm Glock in pocket whenever something inconvenient happen
She clearly follows the mantra of: “float like a butterfly, sting like a FGM-148 Javelin anti-tank missile”
She’s just a ninja with a rocket launcher 😆
(It is cool to see her be more open to use her bankai, adds to her character and her subtle development)
She didn't even hesitate. I liked it
@@TheRetifox I think losing it really made her value what she had. It's like that one Full Metal Jacket quote.
Still, I contend her Bankai is still very incomplete.
It's useless
Aizen being the only one to sense Yhwach's energy and how his reiatsu changed, indicating his transcendence is a nice little addition.
Seriously, the amount of ambiguity about who is transcendent when in TYBW has driven me and fanfic authors insane for years.

another realization: The fact that only Aizen can truly sense the change in Ywachs spiritual pressure from absorbing the SK is great too. Aizen is already transcendent and now that Ywach is trancesdant, only Aizen would be able to actually "feel" it.
Which is why Urahara asks: "what makes you think he did that?"
And Aizen responds, almost surprised: "Can't you....feel the change in Ywachs spiritual pressure??"
This is a specific nod back to Aizens explanation of beings being able to sense/feel the spiritual pressure of the 3rd and 4th dimension or trascendent beings . An example is when Aizen couldn't "feel" reiatsu from Ichigo in Mugetsu form because Ichigo was on a higher plane at the time.
This confirms that Aizen is 100% still transcedent and on the same plane as SK Ywach if he can "feel" it.
woooooow.... 🤯
@@jamaleverett7337 Holy shit, I didn't catch that. Then again, most of the gang in the Royal Palace could tell his reiatsu had shifted, but that's probably because they could see it. Ichigo is probably the only one who can sense it aside from Aizen, then.
Wait, If that's the case, then was the Mugetsu Ichigo on an even higher plane than this Yhwach, since Aizen couldn't feel Ichigo's reiatsu then, but this Yhwach he could!?
@@smokyz_ There is a chance Aizen has gotten even stronger, even if he's lost his boundary breaking transformations.
@@MrGksarathyits because he was on another process of evolving right before he got sealed . So i dont think he's constantly getting stronger because there is no stimulation for growth just by sitting.
@@Hansen_0101 As everyone's said, Aizen's reiatsu wasn't shut off, just restrained close to him. This probably let him do a Frieza and use that as training.
I absolutely loved this episode. There was so much amazing content. I was surprised at Aizen's humbled moment. When he said to Kyoraku that he has never been unconscious before. Nanana is lucky that he died. lol
Isn't it amazing how just a little bit of tidying up makes this one of the best arcs in anime?
I really love how Kyoraku lets everybody get everything out if they disagree with what he did. Like everybody saying it's disgraceful to let Aizen out of Muken. You'd never see that with Yamamoto. Kyoraku lets them get it out and then says I get it, but I'm doing this for a reason and they move on
It's because Yamamoto would choke then with his reitsu if they dared to speak out
Noone would even dare to speak against him except his students@@mandolen3317
Reason Komamura and Iba didn't appear is cause they're already halfway up to the palace, bout to run duos against Yhwach and his squad

The true power of Tensa Zangetsu is to summon Iba
1. Shunsui speech was by far the biggest highlight. Seeing him embrace his role with resolve in the midst of the biggest crisis was incredible.
2. Ukitake still suffering to literally hold the world together was my second highlight
It shows why the Old Man set them apart as the best of the best.
It was so weird to see Aizen getting knocked out like that. We never really saw him in that type of situation before
Agreed.
Nanana is that guy. He may be dead now but he forever remains Aizens owner
@@Manuel32_ that’s why aizen gave…him his flowers lol
aizen's reiatsu and the kurohitsugi sequence was apparently animated by a really up and coming chinese animator from billibilli, which is a big studio in china! i have seen his work before in some other stuff of chinese origin and i'm really glad they got him on tybw. he did great work!
I'm sure I'm only echoing a lot of other comments, but it's insane how throughout every episode, I'm always think "I cant wait to see what MrTommo thinks of this" !
Only to see him his usual lacking self.
He was trying to find the dog Komamura in there. 😆
I think this is Mayuri’s first on screen interaction with Aizen in either the manga or anime 🤔

Everyone is coming back for an appearance in TYBW, even Afro-san and Maki-Maki, meanwhile Tessai...💀
But yeah, Kyoraku doing the Erwin's speech was good, he's the captain GOAT commander for a reason
I was NOT expecting to see Maki-Maki ever again. That was a pleasant surprise.
Was the afro guy…the one who ichigo pretended to know?

PEAK FICTION!!!🔥
Aizen's comeback and Shõ Hayami just killed it with his voice acting skills also Grimmjow's return what an episode
Btw guys let's be honest Aizen's face is just perfect it really looks better than the last episode🔥😂
What an episode this was, the magnific return of the hado 90 and the return of grimmjow
The shot of Uryu sweating at the end was such a great detail. You just know he’s thinking “Aw shit…”
Aizen vs Pernida in the "sick of everyone's shit" finals
It was not Aizen but mayuri vs pernida
@@kbeautu200 I know that, I was making a joke because both characters look done with everything.
Being imprisoned in Mewken truly made Aizen a Gigachad. What a jawline...
It was great seeing so many characters show up and fixing a bunch of issues the manga had, I loved every second of it, also seeing Mashiro be Not Dead made me audibly do a double check.
Also Mayuri's construct reminded me of a Teratoma, with also the eyes, nose etc growing there, gnarly stuff
@@DarkArkadia I feel that construct has some link to his Bankai, and the teratoma idea reinforces my belief.
I really enjoy getting excited with you since no one i know enjoys bleach.
Loved Aizen telling mayuri to crank it up

Then Nanana just had to fuck it all up😂

The storytelling animation, music choice is all superb. The part where he used hado #90 gave me a sense of dread and scale and personality about the show I didn’t know I needed. The threat felt so real and ominous. It’s hard to explain but this episode set such a tone and it seems like like every episode this cour has been a 10/10 unlike any action anime I’ve ever seen before. When it’s all said and done in its entirety this won’t just be the best action anime ever, it will be the best anime ever. Truly the number one peak of anime.
I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again…Renji and Bazz-B could’ve been friends! They actually would’ve in another life! And the way Rukia was watching them was hilarious. 😂
Reading the manga all those years ago, I'd never have expected Robert Accutrone to have such dedicated conspiracy theorists.
he is an awesome character, so...
@@pieoverlord He is an inexplicable old badass. Who doesn't want more of him? It helps that his death in the manga was extremely humanizing and memorable.
That's what happens when you don't reveal their schrifts
It's that briefcase, what's in it? Some world ending level up power or a super weapon or the wandenreich's tax documents? We don't know and as a result these theory's is all that we have left.
@@sejadlulic8377 hes really not tho. hes a lame stark copy lol
I'm glad Afro dude moved up to 10th seat since the Arrancar Arc. But I'm disappointed that the scene where the eyeball monsters poured out of Yhwach and cutting Haschwalth line saying that they are the enemies of the Quincy.
It's mentioned in the explanation panel in between (in japanese).
Yeah, I'm a bit saddened that Jugram saying that the monsters manifested from the Soul King are the enemies of the Soul Reapers was cut as well. It's one line that hints at a lot, especially with what the anime has added with the flashback showing Ichibei gleefully cutting the Soul King into pieces.
i almost teared up watching episode 31, Bleach fans who seen the original are eating well ❤❤❤❤
Fr
Loved the Vizard moments, I really hope they get a bit more than the manga
I found it interesting that Jugram's line about the eye ball monsters was removed, the line being "Calm yourselves, this is the flood of the soul king's power. It will not harm any of you... for the soul king's enemies are the Shinigami"
I was looking forward to that line and was a bit disappointed that it was cut. It's one line that hints at a ton, especially now that we know from the anime-only flashback in cour 2 that Ichibei gleefully cut Soul King Adnyeus into pieces.
They put it in the intermission card instead. You can translate it on Google. Still a terrible idea to have removed it imo
@@kakashihatake1029 Oh didn't know that, thanks pal! I'm glad it's at least mentioned somewhere.
When Liltotto said they won't get in the Soul Reapers way or let the other Sternritters either, it makes me think that potentially Robert Accutrone will try to stop Bazz-B and the others from heading to the Royal Palace (since we didn't see him officially dead in the anime). It would be possible since NaNaNa survived the Auswählen despite thinking he died (due to Kubo's artwork hinting his death). Or maybe I'm just breathing in that sweet copium XD
What Liltotto said made me think that those 3 Quincy dimwits, reduced the number of sternritters.
They turned on each other already.
So basically no sternritters left to get in soul society’s way
Pretty sure Kubo gave Robert his Death Drawing which is something he’s doing when characters die in the anime rn.
@@Babylauncher3000true, but he also did one for Nanana, and he wasn’t dead, so who knows
@@Babylauncher3000he gave nanana a death artwork way back he got struck by Juha, yet he still lives until this episode so anything is possible rn
@@Grayson-Winchesterif that were true, why was Nanana still with them?
Good episode again yeah ! I liked the gathering and Kyoraku’s speech (with all the little details and characters cameo)
You know you talked about soi fon and I always thought that she should be in the fight against askin,just because we could see 3 shunko with different elements in the same battle.
Also askin in senjumaru bankai dying in that domaine have soifon shikai/bankai colors and patterns
its possible if it gets reworked, considering her Nigeki Kessatsu won't work on him if his immunity counters it since he can raise his own lethal dosage so it could be a pure hakuda/shunko fight.
This episode was absolutely amazing as both a showing of rhe aftermath of the previous episodes and a setup for the next episodes. I love how the team at peirot is handling the content. ❤💚💙
This was a good episode. I was hype through out and that's after the soul palace part. Very happy
Not commenting on the little Shinji/Soi Fon interaction (because you were talking about something else) hurt my soul a bit. I love the side humor in episodes like this.
I feel joy from your joy.
1st comment!
Mashiro is the best cameo. Thank god she shows back up.
Nope
wow he knows the names of all the random fodder characters. He is a true bleach fan after all :D
I wonder if with the fact Yhwach didn't absorb Mimihagi and Ukitake still seems to be connected up if Mimihagi may make another appearance, like rn its just recovering somewhere secretly
I would not be surprised. The fact Ukitake is still Mimihagi'd + the fact that Ukitake getting new scenes was such a big thing for this cour, I wouldn't be shocked if they had another go at Yhwach
Even if Ukitake still ends up dying to set up his role in the arc-that-shall-not-be-named, it would be awesome if he still got something to do in TYBW.
Uryu’s hand during the Senjumaru fight having a mimihagi pattern in blut gets me thinking we might get Ukitake as part of Uryu’s plan to sneak Yhwach or something. The immunity to almighty’s future sight is a plot point that should be used to achieve something in the story.
@@masterstyx2877 mimihagi bout to hide in uryu allowing his intentions to be hidden from yhwh or uryu alr has a soul king fragment could be one of the 2 i suspect
@Shirosaki_Ichigo would be a good way to do things but I think Yhwach has probably absorbed Mimihagi along with reio now. Except it's off screen this time. Would be strange if he beat it without absorbing it. And also now that he's absorbed reio, he should not be blind to mimihagi and other pieces. For he is the soul king himself now
I LOVE this episode man! I've read it, but watching it on screen with all the supporting voices and color really makes it a new experience. Kudos to the whole team for bringing me the good ol' happiness of watching an anime
Missing Characters:
- Iba and Komamura
- Robert Acutrone
- Candice and Meninas
- Yachiru*
- Hanataro
- (- Tessai :,( )
Side Note: What is up with Ukitake?
I'm hoping Robert, Meninas, and Catniss (and maybe Shaz) cause some characters to stay back and fight them, giving them something to do, and lessening the Wahrwelt Squad.
That or a cool scene of a crippled Robert walking up to the gate, giving a speech or so.
@@Rylan_Korpi *Candice. We're not in the Hunger Games, lol.
Robert already dead
@@shahlegno5890 Its hard to say. Yes, he already had his death art, but so did Nanana, and Liltotto mentioned keeping "other" sternritters out of the way. Realistically, I think he won't show up since the anime is already as fast paced as it is and might not be able to afford another new fight. But at the same time, the anime has given Robert a fair amount of new scenes that appear to be building something up. My hope is he'll show up to cause trouble in a desperate attempt to earn Ywhach's favor, and get bodied instantly.
SPOILER!
Komamura the dog was maybe in the cave. Yachiru, Kenpachi's sword's spirit was of course gone. Haven't you watched the earlier episodes or read the manga to know what's happening to Ukitake?🗿
Ukitake at this point should already be dead (that's in the manga of course), Yhwach should have already completely absorbed Mimihagi. Could they probably have some other plan for Ukitake? 🤔
im enjoying a lot your videos lately, i wish i would have discovered your content earlier, thank you for all this videos you have been droping king, much love from mexico
Yet another episode of peak. These new scenes are EVERYTHING and it’s so fucking cool seeing how much they elevate this arc where it needed extra help. This is seriously a generational anime adaptation, insane how much love is being put into this show.
16:28 if I’m not mistaken, the reason NaNaNa is alive in cfyow is because Mayuri got his body and zombified it like the arrancars. Same goes for Meninas and Candice. Meanwhile, poor Robert seems to have just been abandoned 😅
@@otakugameraquarius1883 Meninas and Candice might have still been alive, we just have no clue.
@@MrGksarathy I mean I agree that I think they’re still alive, but they do end up in mayuri’s hands by the time of cfyow. Kinda hope we see them again before the end of tybw
@@otakugameraquarius1883 Same. They're hot, have pretty colorful powers, and they could use more characterization, especially Meninas. I can't quite get a bead on what she's supposed to be.
@@MrGksarathy Meninas isn’t really supposed to be too special of a character kinda like most of the sternritter, but since we know they’ll make it outta the war alive like the other bambies and NaNaNa, I think it’s safe to assume that they’ll make an appearance in hell. Wouldn’t hurt to have them on the good guys side, maybe flesh them out somewhat, and we could even have sternritter interactions we’ve never seen down there. If I was writing, I would definitely use them
@@MrGksarathy They should bring them back for the next arc in the manga. Make of one of them Uryu's fiance or something.
Maybe Chad and Meninas have a boxing match. Maybe Orihime can restore Bambi
The sound track on this episodes was so good those prog drums and that tasty solo during shunsui's speech oh god that was so good
The one reaction I always anticipate the most 😌
I remember Ichiruki copers in previous cours coming here to say that Kubo was going to change the end pairings because of ichiruki's popularity lmao, where are they now huh? Kubo's pushing Ichihime even harder and more is to come!
yeah its funny
Man, the old Bleach anime director is probably fuming watching it 😂
ichiruki fans never actually read manga or know kubo's view over og anime forcing ichi ruki shipping.
So I guess if he changed the pairings at the end, he'll have rewrite the Hell Chapter too then lmfao
@@boboyo3140 That's delusional. I am an Uryuu x Nemu coper, yet I have no illusions that Kubo isn't going to kill off Nemu in the worst way possible.
Cool seeing the little guys
A lot of them made it out in better shape than I would have thought
Bazz-B probably wasn't sure if any other sternritter survived so he was just saying that if any others showed up to attack they would take care of them.
Ukitake still being alive makes me think: Remember the mimihagi-like symbol on Uryu's hand when he broke out of Senjumaru's bankai?
@@Ry9022 You think Mimihagi is going to migrate to Uryuu? Or is Uryuu's Antithesis going to keep Ukitake alive?
@@MrGksarathy Mimihagi(or some part of it) to Uryu.
@@Ry9022 I can see it, but I think Uryuu's power is antithetical to Mimihagi's concept of Stillness.

Everyone watches the episode, then everyone watches tommo watch the episode, very simple
Been waiting for this for hours, LOL. Can't wait to see your reaction to certain moments.
Shinji and Liltotto were also talking in the background of the scene where Bazz-B was commenting on Renji’s eyebrows!
Father daughter reunion
@@JuviaLockser12 That's actually pretty cool, and I feel it sets up Liltotto's later role as the defacto leader of the Quincy remnants, much like how Shinji lead the Vizards.
This series has been so good they have truly delivered a great product hats off to all involved the series been so good
Your excitement is the best part of this video
Since I haven’t read TYBW in literal years, I always have to rely on your stuff after making my own reactions to figure out what was changed. I am in a weird state of knowing things have changed but also not knowing what has been changed.
I recommend watching soul madness' mmv videos. Honestly they're better than cours 1 and 2 with the music he used. Cour 3 has too many new scenes so it's definitely better in the anime.
i really liked Shunsui referring to Kisuke as "Taicho"
Bro I can't even imagine anime only's genuient reaction after this ep.
Aizen and Grimjzow coming back in the same Episode and so many characters interacting with each other that never did before. (Characters that didn't even interact in the manga)
I love the fact that kenpachi still hates yhwach because he killed yamamoto
People seem to forget the yamamoto DID take him in and train him and was also a father figure to him, so it's nice to see that he has a reason instead of just fight because fight
Kyoraku's speech is such a nice addition and felt so epic here. Also seeing so many old characters was just great.
This episode was solid and a good change of pace episode after we had all this crazy shit happening the last 4 episodes and before things get hectic again.
17:25 look who is talking to Liltotto 😂
The long lost twins have reunited 😂
That crackle sound effect when he starts the Kido is so good
Watching Aizen is a pleasure. But Grimmjow was also awesome.
I do kind of like that Aizen got bullied a bit by everyone, from the vice-captains, Kyoraku, Mayuri and Nanana👀
And I think we all had the same reaction to that plinth. Bloody hell, Mayuri
Fr lol
7:27 that’s what she said
I just finished the episode and i came here to see your reaction 😭 Saturdays of Bleach are the best 😭❤️
Kubo hasn’t missed yet and every episode in this Cour has been perfect or close to it. I used to dream about seeing the TYBW in anime form. What a time to be alive, 11/10 episode 🥲🥲🥲🥲🥲
Best episode so far for me.
14:45 Outbursts like these for moments that seem casual but are actually huge when put in the context of the source material are the reason i enjoy watching your reactions!😅
I think there are 2 reasons ukitake didnt die early in this episode
1. time: the episode had a lot of new interactions that wouldnt be possible to fit in if they were mourning ukitake, while they could have had a short sad moment it wouldnt feel right.
2. defining what he is: he said he literally became the soul kings right arm. most of the life force going to mimihage before it was absorbed, the wisp of energy going off him being the last bits of life he has slipping away. to be more clear he was a vessel in the manga for both power and mind, where in the anime we is the soul kings right arm containing its power while being a vessel for its mind. which would explain him not immediately dying when mimihage was absorbed.
great episode love bleach
I was jumping with joy at the sight of… THE KING GRIMMJOW
The episode is so good that I had to rewatch multiple times✍🏽
Same👍
Kyoraku is up there cancelling the Apocalypse.
This episode was such a great buildup for what's about to come, damn.
Love watching your videos every week!
I had goosebumps last night when I watched it the moment the episode 31 was released
PS: Kudos also to the voice actors, it gave more life to the amazing animation
The restructuring of the "Gate" plot really worked for me. Combined with Shunsui's speech and the gathering of all the Soul Reapers it makes for a much more exciting scene than the manga.
This feels final. Everyone is here and they're heading into the battle that determines everything. They might not return but they are going together. Really beautiful, especially because the same thing is happening with Ichigo's group where Nel, Grimmjow and the Fullbringers will join them.
8:48 My favorite shot of Giga-Chad Aizen so far 😂
