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.
