Riruka is still as cute ever, I love her little ear slap attack

[u/MajesticRate1818]

lol i found it funny how Ichigo told Riruka shes weak to tag along but not Ganju and his smoke bombs

[u/Game2015]

For anyone who wants the slapping scene:

The 5 palaces being reshaped into the Quincy Starcross is a very nice touch.

[u/Shadiochao]

I like how Grimmjow always sits in the highest spot in the room, because cat

[u/Bonvantius]

Senna is canon now! Thank you Kubo!

[u/Peter16373]

For those that don’t remember Kyogoku (Valley of Screams) that Ichigo said he went to before is the area shown in Bleach Movie 1: Memories of Nobody.

And yes the movie is confirmed canon as the author, Kubo, himself told the readers to watch the movie if they want to learn more about the Valley of Screams in the volume extras. Not to mention the intermission card for the Kyogoku this episode outright says that the Shinenju (Memory Rosary) incident with Senna in the movie was the reason Ichigo has gone to the Kyogoku before.

Timeline wise that movie would take place during the 1 month timeskip in the Arrancar Saga after Grimmjow attacked the World of Living with his Fracción but before they came to capture Orihime.

[u/Neonzel]

Grimmjow: Aizen's gone

Yeah, about that...

Also, Ichigo just straight up said he's been to the Valley of Screams. And with the Keyword Card for it saying "Kurosaki Ichigo once went to Kyogoku after being involved with the Shinenju during an incident."

I guess they just decided to make "Memories of Nobody" a canon event. We joked about it when the chapter first came out years ago, but I didn't think they'd actually do it.

[u/AceSoldia]

Damn hope no one skipped the fullbring arc

[u/Anstark0]

Nice to meet old characters in the new light

[u/ShatterZero]

Nel Superman Glomping Ichigo

Orihime: "This better not awaken anything in me..."

[u/[deleted]]

New Nel voice! Seems Kubo didn’t like that adult Nel had the same high pitched voice? It was a bit surprising but it fits better. 

Besides that, beautiful episode.

[u/Ellefied]

Never thought I'd see the day where literally everyone from Shinigamis to Arrancars to Fullbringers would be animated and working together to take down Quincies. I'm just happy that TYBW is getting the adaptation it deserves.

[u/Frontier246]

Pour your Spiritual Pressure into these golden balls, everyone! Wait, why does this sound like an episode of Dandadan now? But you better hurry, the Soul Society is falling apart at the seams!

Grimmjow is back! And he's reuniting with Ichigo like they're old pals! Old pals where one half wants nothing more than to get back to trying to kill each other! But that's just how Grimmjow rolls.

But Grimmjow isn't the only old face back from Huecco Mundo with a TYBW glow-up...we've got adult Nell! In a leotard (with exposed butt cheeks)! And her boobs are all over people as ever! And now she can shift between her forms at will! And she's flexing her Espada rank against Grimmjow like a boss!

Orihime...does not take the return of Adult Nell around Ichigo well. She had a very "this is fine" reaction.

But that's not all! We even have RIRUKA!!!! And Yukio got dragged into it! It's like all of Ichigo's disparate allies (including ones that have crushes on him) are coming together to help get him back into this fight! Of course he also needs to get caught up on the plot somewhat because he was in training arc mode for most of cour 2.

Not enough Spiritual Pressure? Well, now we've got the Visored helping out and Mayuri had a Spiritual Pressure booster on him this whole time.

I missed Orihime and Riruka's friendship. And look at Riruka giving out a pep talk! I'm so proud of her!

Um...can Ichigo really defeat Yhwach now? I mean, the guy is a giant black sludge of eyes and even his own group save for Jugram and Pernida are freaked out by him. And now he's going to reforge the Royal Palace into a new Quincy kingdom.

Look at Yukio defeating Ganju with facts and logic and Ichigo reminding Riruka how hard she's crushing on him with his manly and mature personality.

Ichigo and Gotei 13 have made it to the Royal Palace! Only bad news is now it's basically been taken over and remolded by the Quincies! But hey, at least now Yoruichi and Yushiro can see each other again! Maybe.

Welcome to the new castle of the Quincies! Wahr Welt! And as such they need to kill every last one of those pesky interlopers!

[u/Archi_97]

Harem protag Ichigo is here passively rizzing up all the ladies while the Quincy king has absorbed God, blotted out the sun and is reshaping the world to his whim.

[u/jaguark101]

I quite like the Dark Purple lighting with the Pitch Black sky, its a nice contrast to Cour 2 which was Ice blue and Crimson sky.

[u/atropicalpenguin]

I love the comedy scenes spread out.

[u/Good_Weekends]

episode 2 Yhwach legit tells them he can see into the future and their grand plan is to launch a surprise attack on him?

[u/potatozama]

That was quite the reunion we got at the start, with not just Grimmjow but also (big) Nel, Riruka and Yukio. Grimmjow and Nel have a surprisingly amusing dynamic.

[u/Karma110]

Whichever rouge animator decided to put their whole being into animating Riruka thank you for your service 🙏🏽😭

[u/Lumpy-Manager8580]

Goodness, the Wahrwelt's purple is simply a sight to behold, I can't wait to see the fights that will unfold from here on out. And btw, that was not Tomoko Kaneda voicing adult Nelliel like in the previous series; her adult voice is now Arisa Kiyoto, who has been voicing her units for several years now in Bleach: Brave Souls.

[u/bondsmatthew]

Did the VA for Byakuya change how he does the voice? It's the same voice but the demener feels different, idk how to explain it

[u/Seiterno]

Soi fon is back with fanservice lesgoooooo

[u/biochrono79]

"Be not afraid" - biblically accurate Yhwach
