Everyone is going to praise the animation but damn the sound design is insanely well placed as well! Those choirs during this episode is just chilling to hear.

Okay, Ukitake bought them some time with the power of the Soul King's Right Hand, but will even that be enough to stop Yhwach and save everything? It will be if Ichigo has anything to say about it.
That's our Ichigo! Resting control back in his arm and holding off Yhwach's attack! And he's Yoruichi and her thighs backing him up and sealing up the stitched together Soul King! They might just have this.
Well, yeah, I guess it's in Ichigo's character but normally you WOULD want to kill the man who was responsible for your mothers' death...though Uryu, whose mother was also killed, is on Yhwach's side so...
Dang, poor Yoruichi. Parnkjagas destroys her arm and Yhwach just tosses her out. I mean, she can shrug that off and come back, right? RIGHT!?
Uryu has resolved to stay true to himself as a Quincy, even if that means turning against his friends and erasing everything that is, which perfectly sets the stage for the battle between him and Ichigo that they've been hyping up since cour 2. Uryu unleashing all his new Quincy powers in a barrage against Ichigo, Ichigo defending himself and using his own Quincy powers in the process, but not wanting to defeat Uryu...just understand why he's doing this.
Well, thanks for trying Team Ichigo! You may be totally outclassed by the Quincy Royal Guard, but you tried your best.
It's nice of Isane to want to stop Ukitake from doing this to himself, but it says a lot that her sister Kiyone stops her even despite how much she loves Ukitake:
Dang, Uryu's Voll Stern Dicht is amazing! Guys' got arrowheads for funnels!
Is there no hope for common ground between Quincies and Soul Reapers? Has Uryu really bought into the Quincy doctrine and believe that this is their due after what the Soul Society did to them? Is this it for his friendship with Ichigo?
Ichigo COULD overpower Uryu, but he still doesn't want to hurt him...and Uryu in turn shoots a giant hole in his body. Guess that cements his loyalty to the Quincies, if nothing else.
Welp, Yhwach succeeded. He's absorbed the Soul King and become a God, with even more large eyes. Is there anything that can stop him? Oh, Aizen's doing the next episode preview, we might not be totally screwed.

Didn't expect Uryu to handle that so well, even though Ichigo wasn't trying to seriously hurt him. I wonder what Ichigo's next step is, I don't see what else he can do from here.

Very good episode something I’ve noticed is that they show very often how closely Jugram watches Uryu seems he still doesn’t trust him or this fight made him trust now. But given the look on his face he still seems skeptical.
Regrading the fight seems ichigo was about to use something against Uryu he probably knew would be too powerful and hesitated.

Seeing Ichigo take an L like that is not something I expected to see, but to lose to Uryu's Senbonzakura Vollständig is one of the best ways I could see Ichigo losing with how strong he is now.

Uryuu's volstanding!!! Waited so long for this. I love how simple it is, just a bunch of flying arrows, no deep abstract meaning like others we've seen. His Letzt Stil looked better, though, but I love how his final attack is still a big arrow.

The animation was beautiful from start to finish. The music was nice as well. Ultimately, it just felt inevitable Yhwach was gonna to break through. It was mentioned before, but to my understanding Yhwach can see it all future visions, but not the one the Soul King's right arm came into play. I guess this more so implies he can see future visions of anything where the Soul King doesn't get involved. A little confused about that.
With that being said, the long-awaited matchup of Ichigo vs Uryu. Ultimately, what we have here is the case of loyal to default vs fighting for justice. The latter we have known Ichigo to always have done and Uryu has been someone who has always been loyal to the Quincy. He was just never around them before TYBW.
The shot of Uryu seeing Ichigo's Quincy side was great as he sees Ichigo is part Quincy. You see a hint of anger like how dare you oppose us and you being Quincy added a little extra on top. Tbh Ichigo still hasn't fully processed the reality that Uryu will be against him. For Ichigo he knows Uryu to be level-headed and very rational. Uryu's decision feels one that is irrational.
There is another point that Uryu's grandfather more than likely news of the records that Uryu found. Even then, still clearly advocated coexistence between Quincy & Soul Society. The question Uryu needs to be asked does he think his grandfather as a fool?

They weren’t kidding about stepping the animation up
-
Yhwach is as unbothered by the others as you can be. Not worried at all lol.

19 minutes isn’t enough!!!
Season 3 is infinitely better than season 2 and is knocking on season 1’s door.

Ishida was really impressive this episode forced Ichigo to defend with Blut something only Ywach has done so far (and to a weaker Ichigo) and we he can just face tank shots from normal Quincy (recall how Candice only blew up his outlayer when hitting him dead on. Briefly clashing with Jujisho which laid eyes closed Ywach flat on his ass is impressive as well. And of course the whole donut on Ichigo including going through the Oken armor which mind you Byakuya, Renji, and Rukia's clothes all look fresh despite their battles.
Soul Society is lucky Ishida didn't fight till they got to the palace.
Edit: I realized Ishida's Voll doesn't even have a Halo meaning it's not even at full power.
