"SAVE THE SOUL SOCIETY" 😭💔 Bleach TYBW Episode 7 (373) REACTION + REVIEW!

[@JamiUwU]

THIS EPISODE WAS SOUL CRUSHING!!! Rest in Peace to the fallen I didn’t feel the need to talk about the “son” part because to me it sounded like when a priest or something addresses their followers I don’t think he’s actually his father. 😅 if people take that away from him using “son”

I did not cried back then, cause i just loved the quincies since the introduction of Uryu ishida. But the Byakuya Kuchiki scene with Ichigo?

New german words, so let's translate ^^ "Soldat" means "soldier". "Blut" got an upgrade since last time, becoming "Blut Vene" (the right way to write it would be Blutvene) with the meaning of "blood vein" "Qualkreis" is a combination of "Qual" und "kreis", translating to "suffer" and "circle". So it would translate to "circle of suffering" And finally, "Schatten Bereich" translates to "shadow area" That was your friendly german translator for this week, see you all next episode ^^

[@NctzenGreen]

You is incrible!

[@KingKP96]

Words can't even express how important that opening scene was. You have to understand, NONE of that was shown in the original manga. The most we got of the original 13 Captains was some vague shadowy figures. It stayed that way for almost a decade until Tite Kubo randomly released a color page spread of these characters a few days ago in anticipation of this episode. Getting to see the Captains that founded The Soul Society and how brutal they were has meant more to me than anything else in the anime so far as a Bleach fan, and that's insanity to think about with how hard they've been going with the arc so far.

[@hamsterfromabove8905]

Imo I think it would have been a bit cooler to release them in reverse. As in show this episode first, then only today release the color spread of all of them. To hold on to the anticipation a few extrea days instead of revealing early that more will be shown in the anime.

[@PaulXPZ]

You don't just make eleven extremally well made new character designs out of the blue for something that could've easily been handled the same way it was in the manga. On top of that I'm 90% sure we were shown what squads they were captain of because of Yamamoto and another *spoilery* character appearing where they would in in squad order during that ending. We're being drip fed info and I think for good reason. All the same, we shouldn't be hassling Kubo for the Hell Arc.

We have two explicit hints. When Isshin reveals himself as shinigami he is using strong talisman from Masaki (so she was conscious of spirits) and then there is peculiar interaction with Ryuken. Additionally Aizen mocked Vizards and Arrancars so praising Ichigo lineage was obvious he has more potential than just shinigami and hollow hybrid.

I feel like this arc meant so much on character development. Not only for Ichigo, Uryu, and Everybody else, but specifically for Byakuya. It showed a whole other side of Byakuya we’ve never seen. The fear, his despair, his feeling of worthlessness when he lost senbonzakura and failed to be a protector. Byakuya was absolutely torn apart & i feel like him apologizing to Ichigo in a way that showed he truly embraced Ichigo as being someone that people can depend on to save them rather than Byakuya, Is such a strong point. He’s always seemed like some sort of mentor to Ichigo since Soul Society arc. That’s just my opinion on it but i loved it when i read it years ago, but i absolutely LOVE how they showed it in this anime

Shiro Sagisu is the composer of Bleach OST (the original and now too). He worked in many famous anime productions and movies like Evangelion, Berserk, a Godzilla Movie and also Magi, maybe that's why you related the opening ost for this episode to it, he has a really notable and unique style after all.

Episode after episode that continue to out due themselves and as a fan of bleach who read the manga that flashback with the OG Gotei 13 was fucking amazing and appreciated.

durning fight with aizen (ep 296, time 16:27), when ichigo's dad came, aizen said that "he is half human, half ... " and ichigo didn't hear that

"You care about people and that makes you weak" To be honest, he kind of has a point. In a war, there's no room for gentleness. Kyouraku even states "in a war, both sides are wrong". If a highly militaristic organization like the Shinigami becomes too attached to peace and values, they can't deal with ruthless threats. I like that it's a point many anime beat down in our heads. Naruto deals with the same thing, as Pain discusses early in the story. Kiritsugu reprimands Saber about thinking there's nobility on the battlefield, while Rider scolds her for having an immature mindset about how a king should be/act.

I could say it can go either way. Sometimes fighting for the ones you care about will push you to fight harder. But having people to protect can also distract you making you weaker. I guess it really depends on the circumstances

@@JamiUwU Yhwach was talking about how the Gotei 13 got weaker over time. He used the example of Yamamoto refusing to have his arm healed by Orihime. In the past Yamamoto would have done anything and everything needed to win a battle. In the past he'd have pressed every advantage and cruelly exploited anything and everyone needed. But in the present he was so prideful that he stayed crippled by choice. Yhwach was insulted that Yamamoto was so arrogant to think he could win even as a cripple. There is a bleach quote from very early on in the original manga. "Unless I grip the sword, I can't protect you. While gripping the sword, I cannot embrace you." Unless you become a ruthless warrior you won't be able to protect what you love. But unless you become kinder and more gentle you'll end up pushing away the people that you care for. Its a dilemma that Yamamoto struggled with. Its impossible to say who is in the right, because no matter what you do you'll always fall short in one aspect.

It really gave me goosebumps about ichigo's origins what an episode

[@shiniwolf69]

12:20 this is the "magic" of war that Kubo wanted to show: war is bloody, unfair and you never know who will survive the next wave of attack

[@maximusprime4044]

Yes Bleach and Magi ost are really similar because they both share the same composer

[@yupazestru5189]

the best part of the episode is seeing how many unique frames they gave Shaz Domino

[@fettyslosteye4953]

Aizen the real hero of this episode, without playing with Yhwach’s mind he would’ve taken Ichigo and said “that’s the end of Bleach, we had a good time ✌🏼”

[@joehanz9217]

All according to Plan

[@lureyourpery5569]

1:51 it the same person who made magi music is shiro sagisu he did the original bleach anime ost and currently is the composer for bleach

[@Chikistrikis05]

Love to see this emotional reactions, literally makes episodes much better, keep up the good work you are doing amazing so far!, i used to hate seeing the good and well developed characters get destroyed/killed and that wont change but imo sometimes that is required to make the story even better since theres so much more and better character development around those who have been affected by those tragedies.

[@2DSunterz]

This adaptation is absolutely incredible bruh

[@MrGoodCompany]

The quality of these Bleach episodes is insane.

[@weismanwriter9426]

Shiro Sagisu, the composer for Bleach, is also the composer for Magi. He also composed music for the live action Attack on Titan, Evangelion, Berserk, and Shin Godzilla. Just to name a few.

[@Artimes.]

Well it is the thousand year BLOOD war lol, haha wow Periot is out here with this adaptation.

[@pikeyMcBarkin]

I went through the same rollercoaster when I watched it 4 times! Love your reactions! Love your look.

[@Kaizen_KyranTTV]

This is honestly in my opinion the darkest Bleach episode so far
