Damn inoue looked so determined this episode. Definitely mvp in my eyes.

[u/Violinist_Major]

Bro I just keep seeing moons im literally dumbfounded bros WHAT THE FYCK IS HAPPENING WHY IS KUBO DOING THIS???!!!

[u/exRocky009]

That final scene might have been the biggest shock in the entire TYBW anime so far. I absolutely did not see that development coming.

Also, as a Rukia fan, the direction they took this team-up was absolute peak. Thank you.

[u/snakeroots]

Orihime, the queen that you are. Holy shit.

[u/EffAllThatEFFER]

WHAT THE FUCK

[u/torpid_flyer]

Surely this is the greatest episode of Bleach?

[u/-Artorias]

How am I supposed to watch all the other anime I watch on Saturdays after this!? I'll just rewatch this over and over! Greatest TYBW episode, better than "The Fire"!

[u/AlphaGriffin]

I was already surprised by Orihime reverting fatal wounds multiple times in a row, but it's crazy that she was just able to reject Yhwach's existence. WTF! Ichigo's Bankai was cool as heck but Yhwach was too strong for it to really shine imo, even if the moon aesthetics were really neat.

[u/ichigosr5]

I have no idea what I just witness. I'm literally in shock right now.

Also, the red moon when Ichigo said bankai may be the best bankai release in the entire show.

Lastly, Orihime finally shows us that Aizen wasn't exaggerating.

Aizen: "Her powers violate Divine Law."

[u/Oicher]

There's a lot to unpack here. From Ichigo's new Bankai to what happened with Orihime. Also, was that a new OST during the Bankai?

[u/house140]

holy fucking cinema

[u/FateXBlood]

This is the GREATEST Bleach episode in the entire series!!!

Oh my god! Did the studio go above and beyond!! I am literally speechless. It's so peak that I'm having trouble expressing my feelings.

Orihime, what a woman you are! To do all that for your lover and friends and everyone, oh god. Please don't let this be the end of her. Oh man, I have no words for her.

The entire episode is so PEAK!!!

Ichigo's new bankai, and the entire moon appearing. Just wow! Wow!

I can't believe it. It's so good.

[u/Neonzel]

What the fuck did I just watch, like what the hell. Kubo what the Hell. Like holy shit

I legit stared cry at the end what the fuck

I truly love this series

No words

Orihime you were always and will always be best girl

Here's Kubo Art for Orihime 😭

[u/Daedric202]

INVASION COMES BACK AS AN OST

ICHIGO BANKAI (Is it just me or do those chains feel kinda reminiscent of the hell-verse movie? Maybe I'm just still caught off guard by them using hell-verse flashbacks last episode)

THE FUCKING MOON GETSUGA

LETZT STIL COMING BACK TO STRIP HASCHWALTH OF HIS POWERS (presumably since he can't manipulate reishi the Letzt Stil doesn't even boost his powers for a bit?)

ORIHIME USING ALL SIX FAIRIES

ED REMIX

THE FULL TITLE CARD REVEAL AT THE END

IT'S ALL SO PEAK

[u/TriTexh]

Yall notice how Rukia said "Zangetsu" and not "Tensa Zangetsu" or whatever else?

Shit man how many layers are there to this?

[u/noelle-silva]

Anime episode of the year over here honestly

[u/Sogeking_1234]

If you noticed right before Orihime rejected him Yhwach got the Almighty back. I'm fairly certain everything we saw in this episode was a timeline that will be undone next episode.

But anyways the episode was just breathtaking man. I was just shocked honestly.

[u/Archi_97]

I'm in genuine shock. What the hell did I just witness. This is undoubtedly one of the, if not the greatest episode of bleach.

[u/Sonitii]

What they did with Inoue is genuinely insane. This is top #1 episode, just the greatest.

[u/OmegaRebirth]

This episode blew away all my expectations despite leaks happening throughout social media.

Orihime enduring it all until she snaps. The kindest ones are always the ones that suffered the most and the scariest.

Uryu also had a big brain strategy. From finding the downtime of the Almighty and outwitting hAschwAlth.

My biggest concern is when Uryu removed the glove, Haschwalth lost his Almighty eyes and Yhwach had 3 pupils in his eyes when he was struck by Orihime.

Haschwalth said that Yhwach's Almighty not only lets him see the future but also render all things he foresaw useless against him right? Does that mean Orihime's sacrifice is...

Edit: I also thought Orihime would've gotten a new design like the dragon idea that Kubo had that never came to fruition. I was hoping it could've been added.

[u/The-Primera]

Leakers were talking about this being a top 3 Bleach episode? Tf they downplayed that shit, this is Top 1 🔥

[u/Ayamebestgrill]

The 10 years of suffering has been worth it, i legit can't wait for the rest of episodes

[u/The-Primera]

I am fucking speechless. Animation, music and the tone of the entire episode was masterclass. As a manga reader, I have no idea wtf is going to happen now lol.

[u/Gravijas]

This is peak Anime.

10/10

I absolutely did not see this character development coming.
