I just love how the premier is basically the intended ending of Cour 2/Part 2.
Also Pierrot Films really living up to their name with an absolute cinema of an episode, weaving together new/expanded content and better incorporation the wider lore into the anime.

Well, the fight doesn't let any tension build because it doesn't happen in the manga, it is an anime original addendum.
Basically, the anime rearranges some things to make the fight happen, sacrificing the buildup of the original.
Honestly, I think is for the better, knowing what happens later.

Right off the bat, let's be on the same page about a few things. First and foremost, previously, the Thousand-Year Blood War reviews were written by the late Nicholas Dupree. |
WAIT A FREAKING MINUTE! HE DIED!? BUT WHEN!?
this is the first time im hearing about any long time ANN reviewer passing away without warning. its tragic and a loss to say the least!

Continuing from the last part, I appreciate the anime giving us some stuff the manga should’ve (the Soul King gets an actual name?!?)

The animation and the extended Ichigo vs Juha is fun but the fight coreography feels lazy like if they are just clashing lasers even though they are actually wielding weapons. Ichigo vs Ulquiorra didn't have the same budget but Pierrot nailed their exchange of swords like if they were samurais.

- “the nine years of Yhwach gathering his strength just so happened to end now, how convenient!”}
It isn't, he took into account when to start the invasion so his powers would comeback perfectly, same reason he baited Ichigo to Hueco Mundo with The Jail (Kirge Opie) and used The Yourself (Lloyd Lloyd) to soften up Yamamoto because he believed the Old Man Yama was still as ruthless as he was during his Prime, they even explained it to you the next episode, The All Mighty can see the future.
He already saw when his powers would reappear, that's why he was so nonchalant when Ichibei was doing his Bankai flex. He essentially went full Aizen, and while Aizen planned everything out of intelligence, Ywatch did it out of knowledge.

I think maybe the anime made it seem as though it was right at that moment? I'd have to rewatch that part again. But no, we're officially in the last part of the Kaiser Gesang: The Last 9 Days. That only begins after the 9 years of the Quincy King regaining his strength.

Wow, this was way more impactful than the manga. I'm a Bleach apologist. I love this series despite it faults. But one thing that has always annoyed me was chapter 616. Didn't like it when I first read it , and on multiple rereads I still didn't like it. I wasn't even a huge Ukitake fan and I just felt like he was done dirty. The fact that this was given essentially one single chapter felt so wrong. I know people complain about Unohana, but at least she technically got a send off with Kenpachi. Ukitake got nothing. He went from saying he was going to save the Soul King, to saying he was going to sacrifice himself, to actually dying. All in a single chapter. In the blink of an eye it was all over. He was given nothing. It for me just felt like nothing. No one really seemed to care either Rukia yells for him once and he tells her to be quite and that was essentially it. Nothing more. I don't think I'm a hard man to please. I just wanted something, anything more.
And then we have this episode. From the childhood flashbacks to the goodbye to Unohana, to his talk with Rukia, to his callback to the quote he used when Kaien was fighting the Hollow, to Shunsui finishing the quote, it was truly great. It took 10 years, but man am I happy and thankful that Kubo was able to go back and redeem this moment for me. As I said, I didn't need much, and he gave me a whole lot.
