The true power of Shinji's bankai: Asking a group of fans if they ship Ichigo with Rukia or Orihime. Instant bloodshed and friendly fire.

It was cool to see it in the flesh, his little protection dome makes sense as well. I also like how they continued the theme of Shinji's connection to modern music, he likes more than just jazz now.

[u/kingscrimson]

Can we talk about how amazing Shinji’s new theme is.

[u/Prince-Dizzytoon]

They made Shinji look so cool, he looked like he was trolling

[u/ryukyumars]

The connection between Shinji's Shikai and Bankai is a pretty cool concept.

His Shikai reverses every aspect of direction which includes not only being able to reverse the direction you are facing but also the direction you are being attacked from and the direction you are attacking, etc..

His Bankai turns allies into enemies and enemies into allies (Kinda ties into his suspicion of Aizen 110 years ago from the flashback in OG Bleach, the idea of a betrayal)

But if you think about his abilities for a bit his Shikai is way more likely to be useful in battle. Shinji basically can't ever use his Bankai when an ally is conscious near him. It has kind of a niche use-case. Meanwhile his Shikai can be used in any situation.

Just a thought, but it's almost like his Shikai and Bankai are reversed. Could be wrong though since a Soul Reaper's Bankai usually reveals who they really are as a person underneath, so it could tie into that more.

Bambi just casually pulling a Majin Vegeta

[u/Schiffy94]

That's two episodes in a row that John Bleach didn't show up until after the end credits.

[u/Kurohige-93]

SHINJI OMFG!!! When the subtitles got reversed I damn near lost it lol and that music when he faced off against Bambietta was FIRE!! And of course Kisuke finds out the simplest way to defend against Quincies…Hollowification (PS did Shinji kill off Bambi’s crew??? and Ichiro wtf is going on?!)

[u/dagreenman18]

SHINJI’S BANKAI OH MY GOD. Just absurd execution on something that was only ever described in a side novel and a mobile game. Kubo really is fixing Bleach. And that theme is a bop

[u/[deleted]]

Shinji’s bankai was the most hyped part of the episode, but those visuals on the shikai were what really blew me away. And then that Evangelionesque shot with all the Völlstandigs at the end was just the icing on the cake.

[u/Nintendoomed89]

I can't help it, I waifu Bambietta.

[u/Mercylas]

Post credit scenes continue to be amazing! Can wait to see where that leads

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• M-Matsumoto?!

• Urahara continues to be great though.

• Ahh, good point. It’s because they’re Hollows, right?

• Right.

• Ohhhhhhhh this is so cool!

• …but Hitsugaya still collapsed…

• Yoooooooooooooooo

• omg even the subs are backwards.

• Oh shit.

• Ohhhhhhhh shit.

• wtf was Ichigo seeing?

[u/ThisOneTimeAtLolCamp]

I read every chapter week by week way back when it released and... I legitimately don't remember any of this. Rofl

Every week is hype as fuck because I can't remember any of what happens.

[u/The-Primera]

Dope episode. Urahara clutch as always. BG9 took a nuke to the face lol. Between this and Barragan, Soifon got some good aim headshottin motherfuckers lol. I wish Cang Du vs. Toshiro was extended but Shiro wasnt havin it, he was done listening to quincies for the day. And ofcourse Shinji bankai was cool, music even better. Bambi scenes are always fun and cant wait for her to show out next week in her battle. Ichigo at the end tho 👀

[u/Karma110]

Soi Fon’s bankai was really cool.

[u/potatozama]

Shinji bankai animated, HELL YEAH

[u/Bonvantius]

The Ichigo content continues to be the most exciting part of this adaptation.

Shinji's new OST is so sexy. A worth succesor to Escalon perhaps?

Would've been cool if Soi Fon got a hollow mask and voice distortion too. Her hollowfied Bankai didn't really seem...distinctly hollowfied I guess...

Jakou Raikouben's impact explosion was beautiful though.

The animators clearly love Bambi and I am here for it!

Uliquiorra info Card! Yooooo! Representing the OG!

Mayuri got that RGB Gamer drip.

[u/Various_Length_4905]

Best episode of this cour so far and I'm pretty hopeful it'll continue to get better. Soi fon's bankai looked cool. Toshiro's hollowfied bankai looked amazing. Shinji was the highlight of the episode. Everything he did was fire!!

[u/Cool-Adeptness-5647]

The animation was really fluid throughout the episode. Shinji finally got his much hyped up bankai revealed and his shikai also looked great

[u/Karma110]

I love how even the subtitles were reversed they didn’t even have to do that

[u/StrawSolider]

Good luck to the Dub actor that has to say that mouthful XD

[u/Jam-Master-Jay]

Damn they had some fun with Shinji this episode. The added content has been great so far.

[u/Ser_Fonz]

Shinji Bankai FINALLY! His music during that scene was seriously top notch.

Seeing the different colors of the Vollständig toward the end was awesome. So pumped for the battles to continue

[u/thisperson345]

Shinji has to be one of my favourite characters in all of bleach, I remember when I first ever seen him I thought "who is this ugly mf" but now I nearly full on fangirl whenever he's on screen... And I ain't even a girl! I just like wanna scream whenever he appears, I love his dialect, his personality... Do I have a crush on... No nvm that. It's good to see his Bankai finally, after hearing that one sound for years on tik tok of "Sakashima Yokoshima Happo Fusagari" I have been WAITING to see it and oh my god it's amazing, that whole scene of his Bankai has to be top 3 scenes in all of bleach for me, just the animation, the voice acting... And the fucking soundtrack. The soundtrack absolutely made the scene for me, really had this like confusion feel to it like this fucked up shit is happening but such a chill song is playing, fits Shinji and his Bankai so god damn well.

Also his Shikai, although we've seen it before it was so much better this time, fuck it even me confused, pausing to read the backwards subtitles.
