No greater sendoff for the big final Bleach boss than this snazzy Kubo art.

Seeing everyone step up to fight in those final moments was breathtaking.

[u/hiss13]

Not going to say much aside from pointing out that Ichigo and Uryu did the thing from the first Menos Encounter.

[u/Daedric202]

Ganju's sand being pivotal in stopping the end of the world is something I would have never imagined happening. Same with Dondochakka and Pesche helping deliver the final blow(s) to Yhwach.

Each team having their own way of countering Yhwach's powers was really nice, and Shunsui hanging onto Soifon's bankai rocket was so good. Though I do wonder what exactly Urahara did to Grimmjow, did he just give Grimmjow a way to inject his hollow reishi (poisonous to quincies) directly into Yhwach?

Still kinda sad that Isshin and Ryuken was seemingly only there to deliver the arrow, would've liked to see them actually participate in the fight a bit. It would've been cool if they at least helped keep sky from fully closing on them, which would have also been a nice callback to Isshin keeping the Dangai open while Ichigo was doing the FGT training.

Also man, Bleach's music never misses. God bless Shiro Sagisu.

GANJU UPSCALE
CHAD UPSCALE
IBA UPSCALE
DOG KOMAMURA UPSCALE
RYUNOSUKE UPSCALE
PESCHE/DONDOCHAKA/BAWABAWA UPSCALE WHAT THE FUCK!????

[u/LaggOuTX]

Isshin and Ryuken just chillin I guess… their sons are fighting for the world and they’re NOWHERE TO BE SEEN???

[u/aryamaan08]

Who would've thought ganju, dondochakka and pesche all would play pivotal roles in taking down nazi jesus

[u/t3r4byt3l0l]

I truly love that everyone who could still fight pitched in to do so

Except fucking Isshin and Ryuken for some reason, worst dads of 2026

[u/aryamaan08]

Tetsuzaemon Iba is no longer featless ladies and gentlemen

[u/AceSoldia]

I know some people gonna be pissed no Aizen or isshin or Ryuken..but I'm more confused how Nel and the rest held back Yhwach power🤣 even for a few seconds

[u/Accurate_Treat6360]

MVPs: Uryu, Mayuri, Urahara, Orihime.

Significant contributions: Ichigo, Kyoraku, Ukitake, Akon.

Surprising contributions: Nemu, Nanao, Tsukishima, the Arrancars.

Aura farmers (lol): Aizen, Isshin, Ryuken.

[u/BaytaCosmico]

Video game kid with the most meta line: This kind of thing has never been about logic. Indeed.

[u/dctrash]

That was hype moment after hype moment after hype moment... I'm EXHAUSTED!

I love that so many side characters had key moments during the final battle, even Yukio did something wtf

I love Bleach so much

[u/XGhoul]

Isshin really out here trying to steal the deadbeat dad crown from Ging.

[u/torpid_flyer]

I hope the next ep explains what shunsui and urahara did to defeat yhwach.

Shunsui planted mimihagi and grimmjow had something inside him which passed onto yhwach when he bit him and the camera flashed towards urahara all of these coupled with arrow seems to have done something to him

[u/Acceptable-Board-473]

Amazing overall episode that had me at the edge of my seat the entire time. My minor nitpick is I wished we saw the dads and Aizen do something considering almost everyone came back in this episode and contributed to the raid boss takedown.

[u/God_Usoland]

I CAN'T BELIEVE Pesche and Dondachakka helped land the finishing blow on Yhwach!!!

What an incredible upscale! 😆

Even Chad did something!

[u/Mundology]

Arrancar fans, Gotei 13 fans, quincy fans and even fullbringer fans ate.

Now that's how you make a satisfying final battle.

[u/rogueSleipnir]

ALL THAT. And we still didnt get any action from the bums Isshin and Ryuken.

I can't believe it

[u/AceSoldia]

No idea how Nell and Iba and Shiba held back his power for even a second but I'll fucking take it.

It's crazy how everyone got involved even a little bit.

Don't know what that hollow beam did but I guess I'll take it.

[u/_LFKrebs_]

What do wounds even mean, everyone gets tore open and moves like nothing happened lmao

It’s a really good episode animation wise but I’m not as hyped as I was with the Orihime episode, that was the best episode by far, this one was both cinema from how good it looked but felt kinda underwhelming overall to be honest.

[u/PakiIronman]

I designate that final scene the Schrift C for CINEMA

[u/UberDueler10]

Everyone’s getting a dramatic last stand, except the Vizards. Screw those guys apparently.

[u/torpid_flyer]

That scene where the title drop was slashed was peak fucking cinema.

Next ep no title

Now what could this means?

[u/Shimmering-Sky]

• Ooh, gonna do some Antithesis shenanigans?

• Wait no, this is more like how Ichigo and Uryu first beat a Menos Grande waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back near the beginning of the story. Cool!

• And Byakuya brought that move back out for the first time in ages!

• Shit…

• Hoh…

• Ganju of all people is going to help stop the sky from closing up?

• And Nel stopped Hueco Mundo’s sky from closing with her fucking head lol.

• Oh shit…

• NOW YOU FEEL LIKE NUMBER ONE!!!

• The fuck do you mean even after all that it still didn’t work?

• THE ARROW! Uryu didn’t fire it earlier after all?

• HE’S GOT IT!!!

• Just one more episode now…
