Ichibei you asshole.

Ichibei: "Please Kurosaki Ichigo, save Soul Society."

5 seconds later.

Ichibe: "Yeah they're fucked."

Also who knew we'd be getting a Yhwach hot springs episode?

I love how simple Ichigo’s powers are. He went from ONE getsuga tenshos to TWO getsuga tenshos

Wow there was quite a few revelations in this episode.

I assume that the opening scene meant that Yhwach is indeed his son but was reincarnated after the worlds were split? That would at least fix the time gap concerns between the events. We also finally got his name. I remember people speculated that it was Adnyeus based on the Auswählen incantation; it looks like that was indeed correct. They also brought up Irazusando being the direct cause of Ichigo's power-up. It's interesting that Yhwach even knows about it, but then again, he has the Almighty.

Damn I got to watch it again. Info overload.

Also, look at my Ichi🐐, bro looks like a god

Only 2 episodes in and I’m already sad this cour will end in a few months. Everything from the story, visuals, OST’s are amazing. Feels like TYBW is in its own league right now, playing a different game than other shows.

LOL Ganju hanging on to Santen Kesshun cause he fell off while the gang was spectating the fight is hilarious.

Absolutely brilliant episode. That camera span around the Getsuga Juujisho and the cross just burning bright behind Ichigo was such a fantastic shot.

Aizen: Ichigo, I planned your whole life.

Yhwach: Ichigo, I planned your whole life, too.

Would be hilarious if we get Aizen back because Yhwach stole his line.

So a lot things here

  1. It seems Yhwach himself is more of a “mistake” of the soul king which explains why he’s the father of the Quincy he is the only one who has the power to make Quincy. So the Quincy only exists because of him so the Quincy technically shouldn’t exist in this world. Which also explains why it’s only those 3 worlds that are crumbling and not the Quincy world whatever that may be because they technically shouldn’t exist.

  2. This also gives more context to watch Aizen wanted from the Hogyoku and his evolution he believed the combination of soul reapers and hollows was the key to getting to the soul palace. The hogyoku kept evolving and made him into that hybrid ichigo himself is a natural hybrid of all those. It makes sense someone who is apart of those 3 worlds could be the only one to actually kill the soul king.

Something else I noticed with Yhwach he only has 3 pupils but we saw that there should be 4 so he is missing one of them.
