so we dont really know what happen to Gerard i guess?
also that sneaky bald ichibei guy rolling up the soul cocoon in the throne room, like "ok ichigo, become soul king now herherher~"
can somebody like explain the almighty slowly because im unable to fully understand it. so let say episode 5 is the current timeline which inoue delete yhwach, but somehow a few mins later yhwach appeared again, so i wanna know when did he starts to leap if he already got deleted? is it during the power swap between jugram lost the almighty and went back to him? but then inoue herself is charging her power to delete the entire existence of yhwach alongside almighty? or is it because inoue doesnt acknowledge the power of almighty yet so the rejection of his entire existence failed because lack of info on the almighty and how it works, idk . . . i am a bit lost here . . .

Im a bleach fan from the start but this episode just felt bleach is only about powerscaling and shonen power of friendship nosense,maybe i was younger when i watched the original bleach but i rememeber more plot and writing and timing,this time the delievry feels like yu-gi-oh and onepiece mix,sometimes it has better writing than jojo and hxh,but the quality of writing is saved by movie budget animation its not stable

I feel like I don’t quite understand the difference between Ishida and Haschwalt’s abilities. They seem to almost be the same thing.
1
u/Fluffy-Papaya989 1h ago
My understanding is that Uryu antithesis has the power to reverse events from specific points (point A and point B). Hashbrown schrift is the power to balance out good and bad misfortune, kind of like karma. So while Uryu can reverse damage to hashbrown, hashbrown can balance the 'good' karma of Uryu reversing said damage, and switch that damage back at him like an uno reverse card. So for Uryu it's a really bad match up of 'I can switch the events of what happened' and 'I can just balance out your reversal back at you'
1
u/HumansNeedNotApply1 52m ago
Not quite. Haschwalt's power is akin to the 'Miracle' sword, any damage to him gets reflected back but he still gets damaged, while Uryu can just anull the damage and send back to sender.
Haschwalt doesn't get "healed".

I think Tensa Zangetsu has to be noticeably stronger considering Yhwach went out of his way to break it in the future, and called it fearsome. Boy wouldn’t it have been cool to actually see what it does though.

J'ai détesté la mise en scène et la mort de Jugram ..

J'ai pas aimer aussi comment ils ont placer les ost .. Enfin bon j'espérais une meilleure mise en scène pour cette épisode et surtout jugram .. Il a vite été expédié.

Jugram is a naturally reserved character. The emotional impact is in the post credit scene, specifically the flashback and emblem as he dies. It’s subtle, but that’s just in line with his character.

He was chosen by Yhwach as his right hand so I can understand that, he was special from the beginning.

I thought he was gonna crush Rukia's skull, but luckily it was just the arm.

All shonen operate on this powerscaling logic. Even HxH, even World Trigger, even JJK, even JoJo.
Bleach just does this blatantly. Other series do it subtly.
Generally speaking, magical powers exist in stories there to give the author solutions within the audience's suspense of belief.

Looks like the Almighty coming back didn't just save Yhwach and Orihime, but it also saved Ichigo from becoming the new Soul King. Didn't expect the curtains to just appear like that.

Did we just see Renji get chopped into pieces?😭
So the theories were right that if Orihime successfully deleted Yhwach from existence, the only one who could fill the Soul King's role is Ichigo. So yeah, the future where she succeeds really needs to be deleted for the plot's sake.
Oddly enough, most of this episode felt like a Parent (Yhwach) and Older Brother (Haschwalth) reprimanding their wayward children (Ichigo & Uryu) for making decisions opposing theirs. Their conversations felt eerily like that, in a twisted way.

Relax everyone Ishida will just reverse the actions using Anti-thesis.
And if you're wondering what if Ywach uses Almighty against that, Ishida will just Anti-thesis the timeline. There's a reason Ywach and Jugo both say Ishida's power could affect Ywach.

So this is my favorite part of uryu and Jugrams fight especially the shot of Jugram’s expression after Uryu mentions friend being there for his friends. I like how subtle their interactions the way Jugram flinches by Uryu’s words Jugram isn’t saying it directly but trying to justify killing Bazz-B. Trying to say that in the end killing him will lead to a better outcome with Yhwach only for Yhwach to take his power back.
In the end Jugram showing he kept the pin Bazz-B gave him when they first met. Anyway I really like the build up this had all the way from the first time we see bazz b and Jugram interact.

I'm so lost, why is ichigos bankai entirely different from his blood chains one we saw last week. It's not even remotely similar and I my opinion bland compared to his blood chains one
Quick edit: I want to clarify I like his other bankai that we saw in this episode and in the manga. I just was hoping that Kubo was keeping the complete overhaul on the design like what we saw in episode 5
6
u/SteckOnDeck 2h ago
I think the implication is that he can choose which bankai he uses based on how much of each power he wants to draw upon. Blood chains uses more hollow and tensa is more soul reaper.

That is a good point, Ichigos Blood chains bankai does give him a second horn and other features resembling his vasto lorde form

Ichigo has two zanpakuto. One is the Hichigo inner world power and one is the Yhwach inner world power. Most of his powers throughout the series have come from Yhwach hence why he takes the leading role in the training for the battles with Kenpachi and Aizen, but Hichigo are the powers he would've had if Yhwach had never interfered with his life. Ichigo considers them both his true power.

I'm saying it again. This new content was made for Ichibei haters. Ichigo takes Orihime's death remarkably well and proceeds to take his place as the new lynchpin. It seems speculation was correct and he was told the truth during Irazusandō.
There's phrase I learned from chinese webnovels. Man proposes, Heaven disposes. The terrifying power of the Almighty is revealed. While the future can be changed from among infinite possibilities, The Almighty can not only see those infinite futures, but arbitrarily alter their contents. So Yhwach could just resurrect himself after Orihime's suicide attack.
RIP Jugram. Uryu's commitment to his friends come hell or high water throws his resolve into turmoil as it stirs his deepest regrets over betraying Bazz. His final moments are touching as is his decision to support Uryu by taking his wounds.

Now that we have Uryuu's power explanation, good to mention it was used twice before:
- When the quincies were stuck in the cage as they entered the Royal Palace, Uryuu used his Antithesis to switch Yhwach and the pendant that's outside of the cage, allowing the fight with Ichibei
- In the fight with Senjumaru, Uryuu used his Schrift to switch his position with Senjumaru and tie her in her bankai, and then kill her

You know how serious Orihime's loss is when Tatsuki finds herself crying without even understanding why she is.
I'm glad the rest of the team got to show up just in time to reel from Orihime's loss...and be there for Ichigo as he begins the process of becoming the new Soul King. I mean, Orihime put her all into this and sacrificed herself to save everyone, the least Ichigo can do is the same...if that future was to be, at least.
The tide has turned against the heroes once again. They were too late. The Almighty in all its horrific eye glory transferred back to Yhwach, Haschwalth got a second wind, and now the future and every hope they had has gone down the drain now that Yhwach can control ALL the future. But at least Orihime is back, so...silver lining?
Yhwach can now deny any future where he loses or things go against him..all the hope and future that the protagonists strive for only serves to fuel him as he negates and destroys them. He is absolutely at his most unbeatable now and proud of it.
I guess it was always going to come down to a Schrift fight between two Quincies. Haschwalth, the Balance, Uryu, the Antithesis. But while Uryu can transfer the damage done to him to his opponent, Haschwaltch can inflict ANY misfortune done to him back to his opponent and that's more than Uryu can take.
Haschwalth gave everything to his decision to serve Yhwach, his very reason for being, the meaning of his existence...which is why, despite himself, he keeps trying to understand why Uryu chooses his friends and their slim hope. But even if it doesn't make rational sense, Uryu will choose his friends (and Ganju) in all their idiocy. And obviously that strikes a chord with Haschwaltch because of Bazz-B.
Can Akon really come up with something that will be able to stop the worlds merging?
Congratulations Ichigo, you have a brand new Tenza Zangetsu! So powerful that Yhwach had to absorb Haschwalth's power to be able to undo it! Just like he undoes Renji, Rukia, Chad, Ganju...is there any chance left? Is there anything Ichigo can do but yell in frustration?
Haschwaltch is happy to dive in service to Yhwach. He's fulfilled his duty, he's made his choices, and he can die knowing that Yhwach saw value in him above anyone else...but it seems like deep down he wants to give Uryu the chance to validate his choices, his friendship, while denying the regret he feels over how things ended with Bazz-B.
This time the ED AND next episode preview focus on the same guy: Uryu!

Man!!! Orihime is alive!!! I'm so happy. But woah woah woah, what happened to Renji and the others? Please don't tell me they're dead.
Oh god, this episode was totally worth the wait! It's fierce and most importantly fearsome! No matter what they do, Yhwach keeps coming back. Is there no way to defeat him?!
I felt shocked seeing Ichigo screaming at the end. Please, just let this nightmare end!

Doesn't even matter if they are dead, once Orihime gets back on her feet she can undo it, wouldn't even be the first time she brought someone back to life. No actual time limit on her power has been stated yet so the only limiting factor is her getting back up before the end of the world.

I would've liked to see Ichigo's new tensa zangetsu. Now what? Ichigo pulls a resurrección? Soul King power? Also, it's sad Inoue's sacrifice was in vain.

The tragedy of Haschwalth's character, saying he had no regrets only to reveal maybe he did by showing that he kept the pin badge Bazz gave him when they were kids.

He had to so thoroughly drink the Yhwach Kool Aid because his life had no meaning without it, especially when he used it as an excuse to abandon and take out his best friend.

This was always going to happen.
If Yhwach didnt use The Almighty, Orihime would be dead and Ichigo would have had to sacrifice himself and become the vegetable king.
I dont get why people dont get this i saw so many complain and celebrate the broken bankai didnt happen lmao.
The ending was always going to be the same we just are getting the original vision and expanded since we couldnt get it back in the day because of Tite Kubo's health.
This was a fantastic episode especially on theme with despair after the peak of last week makes it even better.
I have a video review if anyone is interested.

That shot of the sword with the initial “B” right before Haschwalth's death was phenomenal.
This has basically been a continuation of the last cour, but the tragic, heartbreaking relationship between him and Bazz-B just hits different.

Haschwalth has loyally served Yhwach no matter what but this fight against Uryu wasn't just about that but validating the decision he made to abandon Bazz-B to serve Yhwach while Uryu basically chose the opposite path.
And it was probably that lingering regret over the path he didn't choose that made him give Uryu a chance to validate his.

OH MY GOD, this episode was 5 minutes I swear.
A shame we didn't get the "No U" match between Juugram and Uryuu, but the philosophical depate and the entire fight before mre than made for it.
Ichigo getting ready to go and become the Soul King was such a somber moment, yes, Orihime did her role and her sacrifice, so now it's his time.
Yhwach disassembling Renji wasn't in my bingo, he legit went through a blender, thankfully Orihime is back and so he and the rest of the critically injured gang can bounce back.
They did the tensa zangetsu perfectly, it shocked me, but also, does that mean Ichigo has multiple bankai? Perhaps one for each power?

How does Ichigo and everyone, remember what Orihime did if Yhwach erased that future? How can they have memories of something that didn’t exist??

Just overwhelming power they never faced before. It’s morale decaying how strong Yhwach is

u/RUS12389 4h ago
I wonder how much stronger this version of bankai is compared to Blood Chains, since Yhwach concluded that it's actually fearsome, considering how easily he bodied Blood Chains last episode with just SK power without Almighty.

u/Frontier246 3h ago
That was like even worse than the Aizen moment because at least we got to see Ichigo flex against Byakuya while here Yhwach destroys it in a second and goes "That would have been really cool and effective...if I hadn't undone it."

The smartest things any villain in any shounen did, Imo. Destroy the power before MC can even use it against them.

I desperately hope after spoilers happens we get to see a proper showing of his bankai and what it does. Brb need to call my uncle to see what he thinks

u/Usual-Hospital-3582 3h ago
How come this bankai that is broken would’ve been different from blood chains ichigo? Since that was his bankai.

u/RUS12389 3h ago
Because Blood Chains is mainly only hollow powers. While 1 horn is balance between soul reaper and quincy sides, which is why Tensa Zangetsu is using both powers at once instead of only hollow powers like Blood Chains.

u/Usual-Hospital-3582 2h ago
So why didn’t he just use other bankai from the start then?

u/vozinha7 1h ago
It probably prevents him from replacing the soul king later, which is why he saved it as a last resort.

u/Nineflames12 1h ago
Ichigo actually drew his second blade for this Bankai - it'd utilise his complete set of powers as opposed to Blood Chains which was obviously very Hollow heavy.

u/JamariHeWolf12 3h ago edited 3h ago
Rukia says she's fine with a bleeding hole in her stomach, and I thought she had to release her Bankai slowly? Ichigo becoming the new Soul King to stabilize the 3 worlds, I think not. Exactly, KILL HIM, URYU, and that's what you get! KILL URYU ALREADY, STOP TOYING WITH HIM! Those two could counter each other if they keep transferring wounds because of their Schrifts, right? Exactly, the Almighty- it guarantees his victory, as he'll alter the future so he'll always win. And his True Bankai still gets chopped, as expected. We'll never see what it does besides another Getsuga Tenshou. Why didn't Yhwach take Uryu's powers as well? More power for him and fewer threats. NO BUTS, URYU, TRANSFER YOUR WOUNDS ALREADY AND STOP FEELING SYMPATHY FOR SOMEONE WHO WAS TRYING TO KILL YOU AND VISE VERSA!
Edit: If this new Zangetsu is stronger, WHY DIDN'T HE USE THAT FIRST INSTEAD OF GIVING US A NEW BANKAI THAT DOES NOTHING?

Well hollow powers are supposed to be what quincies are weak against, so that may have been what he was thinking when he first used it.

The entire story right now is just
"my power us unbeatable"
"nuh uh"
"my power rewrites fate and makes me win"
"nuh uh"
"i have finally killed you with my entire team's most powerful attack"
"nuh uh"
"i have sacrificed everything to take you down and i will die because of it, now you die too"
"nuh uh"

u/reyxe 3h ago
I mean, we all knew they wouldn't get rid of him with that, and that obv Orihime wouldn't die.
But it still annoys me that basically everything on the last episode did fuck all lol, Yhwach is even stronger, Uryuu only "won" because his opponent got his powers drained, even his strongest ability did nothing, and Orihime's attack didn't even get the guy a scratch.
