BLEACH TYBW Episode 38: The Moment We've Been Waiting For

[@lukasbaral5108]

Pretty much a 10/10 adaptation of friend, lived up to the hype. Even the small extensions like the ruthless sack of bazz's castle and the original SS and their fighting styles were awesome to see. I kinda wished to see a sklaverei volstandig from bazz b before his death, even tho he got auswahlen'd already. An interesting note is the northern lights you can see before yhwach levels the castle with his sankt bogen, which basically confirms that his realm was likely in northern germany or maybe even scandinavia. Also all hail horse sama!

Burner Full Finger - BFF? Gyat Damn Kubo! I almost jumped when I heard that. This is why I enjoy your videos so much, they make me appreciate Bleach even more knowing how deep and layered it is. What excites me about this episode is the fact that it contains the whole Bazz-B vs Jugram fight. I thought they would pad it out to be 2 episodes. The "friend" with the "end" in red? Beautiful. Chef kiss. Absolute Cinema. Which leads me to question what the finale is going to be? (mild spoilers ahead for anime onlys) . . . . . It would be fitting to be Uryu vs Jugram, as Uryu and Ichigo also parallel Bazz-B/Jugram, it would be perfect to show Uryu's choice, wrapping up his arc for this cour. Also shows Jugram's reaction to that choice. Ultimately, Uryu chose his friend, unlike Jugram, and it shook him. Can't wait for next week!

[@ZafoolTV]

The next episode's title makes it seem that Uryu will reveal his scheme but since it's a double episode they'll probably set up all the big fights, Uryu vs Jugo, Askin vs Yoruichi and Gerard vs EVERYONE

[@gigagines]

@ZafoolTV Giga hype!

[@antont4974]

This episode really felt special. Art direction, Storyboards - everything really doesn't feel like a usual Bleach episode in a good way. Flashback certainly helped

[@manuelacosta9463]

It was indeed cinematic. Two old friends clashing, Yhwach sharing influence in their origins. I liked the highlight of how both encounters with Yhwach ended differently yet both ended up on the same boat, but vengeance proved too strong for one for obvious reasons.

[@Grayson-Winchester]

Bazz-B wanted vengeance not Jugram.

What an emazing episode. Dali Chen truly has cooked 3 S-tier episodes for TYBW so far (ep 19, 33 and 38). Cannot wait for what they'll do in cour 4!

[@nikjovan4816]

I love this episode and chapters in the manga. My personal take on it is that Bazz-B actually isn't the good guy here. He strung Jugram along on his quest for revenge, but didn't really believe in him, at least after a while. The moment Yhwach chose Jugram over him he was filled with envy because he believed himself superior all this time. Even though Jugram argued that Yhwach should pick Bazz-B over himself, which was really unselfish. But once he saw the look in Bazz-Bs eyes he noticed that selfishness. Not to mention Jugram didn't hate Yhwach as much as Bazz-B. His home was destroyed by Yhwach, but Jugram's abusive uncle died due to Yhwach. That probably brought him relief. Yhwach also patted his head in that one scene. Which might be the first time Jugram ever experienced parental affection in his life. That's why his devotion to Yhwach is so strong.

[@carlosesturain3831]

I don’t think all of Bazz’s friendship was false, though Jugo didn’t really have the same desire for revenge. He honestly did help Jugo for a good while as a companion and was earnest in helping him improve/looking out for him. His world was thrown asunder getting overlooked, but I still think Jugram’s transgression was much greater. The instant validation and importance by Ywach was enough for Jugo to instantly end that friendship. No bueno for a person to do that.

[@HitmanSkip]

Bazz never forced Jugram to come with him, he said he could go back to his uncle if he wanted and Jugram replied he’s dead. Which implies Bazz had no problem going on this mission alone. Bazz did offer Jugram protection and tried motivate him tho. Yes it might have seen like Bazz got jealous but Bazz got angry because if only Jugram was picked, Bazz can’t continue his revenge for his people and didn’t believe Jugram was gonna do it alone. Neither is the good guy, Jugram not repaying back is what it seemed like before Yhwach started explaining that Bazz only got stronger because of Jugo but Bazz thought he got stronger by himself and not being a crutch which hurt his pride

[@ZafoolTV]

Pretty much perfectly adapted. Bazz B's character was elevated by the friend saga. Can't wait for the sword hilt scene in cour 4

[@tensazangetsu7062]

No doubt about it This is Anime of the year there isnt even a competition

[@gregllo424]

The scenes right after the last flasback of the episode towards the end were PEAKKK. They really cooked with the storyboarding and animation there my god 😮‍💨

[@SlyMelodica.]

Seeing Him Cut Bazz down hit Jugram tried his best to stay stoic that was his friend in the end and ik he felt that

[@GM-dg6mj]

bro istg not to glaze, but if u use your eyes, you'll agree with me that bleach tybw is the most consistently good anime of all time. the art style never changes (downgrade). we got new scenes. and the animation upgraded despite having to animate fight scenes each episodes. im proud to be a fan. im thankful for pierrot treating this series with much care and love.

[@Grayson-Winchester]

Their fight wasn’t about strength, it was to challenge him at least once. Bazz-B deemed Jugram to be a issue when Yhwach explained that he himself made Bazz develop considerable skills. Haschwalth doesn’t owe Bazz anything. Yhwach would have come to fetch his other half either way.

[@WackNoir]

tbf tho, how it all happened is how it all happened still. The fact that Bazz helped him after the attack on the castle is some true friendship shit.

[@Grayson-Winchester]

​​@@WackNoirBazz-B family died, Jugo was finally free of his uncle. They were close as kids and teens but only because Bazz-B thought better of himself. Friends don't use each other, they support each other and respect each other's feelings. Like Ichigo and Uryuu

[@carlosesturain3831]

While it’s ironic that Juha’s killing of their homes disproportionately affected Bazz and Jugo’s lives, and Bazz’s young friendship with Jugo was imperfect, I’d agree with someone else mentioning that Jugo’s sudden change of heart very much indicates a person that’ll sacrifice friendship for a sense of importance and power. Those things are understandably a desire for Jugo, considering his terrible upbringing by his uncle and lack of talent to that point. Still a fucked up thing to do, which he realizes in the end.

[@HitmanSkip]

⁠@@Grayson-Winchester Bazz did support Jugo, he couldn’t support the way Yhwach did but he did still support Jugram. None of them used each other, Bazz thought Jugram was on the revenge, he didn’t just bring him for his own sake, he even said that he could go back if he wasn’t on and Jugram just followed Bazz which any person would think that he was on it.

Great review bro' !

[@billykotsos4642]

Absolute special episode

[@Captain_Sosuke_Aizen]

Wow! When you explained it like that, its me and my friend. The story is so similar 😮.

[@caladestine4540]

I agree that Bazz-B was jealous Jugo, but the greater pain came from discovering that Jugo's will wasn't the same as his although they both lost their families. He felt betrayed not because Jugo was better than him but because he didn't realize that Jugo felt the opposite of him regarding joining Yhwach. Bazz-B was devastated from the loss of his loving mother whereas Jugo was saved by the lost of his abusive uncle. They both had a debt to repay to Yhwach; Bazz-B's was to kill him, Jugo's was to join him. And yet, when Bazz-B mentioned killing Yhwach, Jugo didn't express his opposition to it, resulting in Bazz-B believing that their intentions were aligned. That's why he felt betrayed. Also, technically Bazz-B was still a genius because he was able to manifest his Quincy powers even before encountering Jugo (unless Jugo somehow shared his powers with Bazz without them knowing or being in proximity to each other), which adds to the pain of not being chosen. Not only was he discredited for the time he spent with Jugo, but the time when he when Jugo wasn't even in the picture. Pretty tragic

[@rayvonvelez3129]

When hubert says they'll notify them later. Notice how jugram says, see we should go Home now. Jugram never wanted to leave bazz b. Jugram obviously enjoyed their time together in the woods, jugram was complacent and content. But bazz b own greed for vengeance against yhwach made it so bazz never saw this. And when bazz b looks at jugram with jealousy as yhwach names him the chosen one. Bazz is shocked and even worse yhwach tells him the whole time jugram was boosting bazz's own talent and skill. I think jugram knew he was supporting bazz b with his Quincy enhancing ability before yhwach told them. But he never wanted to tell bazz this. And once he sees the anger in bazz's eyes, jugram chooses yhwach since yhwach told him the thing he needed to hear. Yhwach needs him and he will have a greater purpose now. Bazz tries to attack yhwach, but jugram stops it. Cuz jugram protects yhwach now, but jugram also protects bazz b in this moment as well. We see through years bazz b tries to break the rules of sternritter, but jugram never takes the challenge, cuz he knows bazz b will die or be severely punished by the rules. Jugram was still always protecting bazz b. Even from hubert, Some people think when yhwach did the aushwalen in the royal palace jugram used the balance to protect bazz b from dieing. But bazz cant let it go. Jugram tells him to stop multiple times cuz he doesn't want him to get hurt. But bazz takes it to far and jugram has to put bazz b down. Jugram couldn't protect bazz b anymore. Tragic story. I Wonder how it couldve been if bazz b wasn't blinded by revenge and went back into the woods with jugram that day.

[@antares7662]

Something i noticed is that bazz b being the son of the lord of the village was kinda like royalty which explains why he told jugram about being his underling since he is in an already position of power, offering him being an underling was most likely his only way of offering his frindship since having people serve him was all he knew

[@1ntuthukozwane]

Why would Bazz B think he can defeat Jugo? That is silly…

[@louischaruel9165]

It was insane

[@raphaelceni]

Jugo is used/abused by his uncle, later Yhwach makes him think that he was being used by Bazz, so YW makes he feel special, unique, better than Bazz. And that itself makes him believe that friendship is something related to being able to get stronger with your friend, or being close to those who can empower you somehow. However for Bazz-B it was not that. Even though he used to feel superior he always included Jugo in his plans. But in the end, Jugo will realize he was never YW half in terms of power and choice, decision, he was being used again. Tô only thing Yhwach cares for him is his power, that's the only thing Yhwach cares for anyone. And he always things that everything on the world belong to him. He will see anyone as his equal. Spoiler: That's what Jugo will realize when he fights Uryu. He never understood friendship because, he made a bad choice, he was being used and Yhwach was the one that put him in that path.

[@NeonForceGetsuga]

13:05 that was me and my friend in high school, the difference is i was upset that she didnt do as well as i did and i felt like i wasted my time because that time could have used to improved my own studies. So in the end I almost dropped to her level rather than both of us raising.

[@majesticarthur6941]

that was a great analogy.

[@rubies200]

Haschwaldt is a *pleaser* . He is so used to being a beta, that he is willing to turn Bazz B over to Yhwach as the sacrificial lamb. He has been abused so ruthlessly by his uncle that, although the delight of being a chosen one is momentarily intense--looking back at Bazz (who is his past memory), he suddenly got scared. Bazz has a bone to pick with Yhwach, so why not? Although Bazz B seems to be the more empathetic character, it is Haschwaldt who has been through hell with his conflicting feelings regarding the situation. Which makes him the more interesting party, to me. This has to be the most intense relationship in Bleach, besides Orihime and Ulquiorra!

[@SaltedMallows]

I dunno it was okay but I feel the “emotion “ was one sided Hashwalth didn’t really react much to show us what he really thinks or if he cares about BazzB. It looks like he doesn’t care about him much in present time as he’s just letting bazz b talk to the wall and kills him without answering any of his emotional questions. He doesn’t even take bazz b’s powers as some kind of symbolism or anything.

just my opinion though jugram saved bazz's ass all those years ago and still made sure he was safe during his time with the sternritters Bazz B disrespected Yhwach's personal guards at the time and still lived and managed to join the sternritter jugram made sure Bazz didn't get into any fights or troubles with other members Jugram ain't that bad of a friend

[@christheanimeguy6114]

I'm so glad as a fan of bleach that we are getting the adaptation of TYBW that we are. Cour 3 is very possibly the best cour of any anime ever. Every aspect has been amazing, from directing to story boarding and phenomenal voice acting,the fight choreography for the anime exclusive fights, just everything. Perriot is definitely counting on bleach to elevate themselves back to the status of a premiere anime studio, which is great because they're giving TYBW the care that it deserves and that the fans deserve for waiting so long for this arc.
