Broo... Literally EVERYONE felt the change in spiritual pressure.... I could almost feel it through the screen

[@edwardtembojr]

After all that it still couldn’t defeat its opponent

[@ross.699]

You know your spiritual pressure is elite when it shooks Ichigo

[@manuelacosta9463]

It eerily beautiful especially the underwater section and Barro's fear at the infection was visceral. Shunsui steps up to plate in Soul Society's worst crisis. He is a true Captain Commander, both in battle and in his administration.

[@NEONlights-lb8um]

4:20 back when he fought Oetsu, he also made himself intangible to slip through Oetsu's blade the second time Oetsu tried slicing him in half.

[@mastersimz9531]

I was wondering how e survived that slash. Nice foreshadow.

[@olo703]

It seems that the Auswahlen gave him the reaction to open his eye, because Nimaiya was too fast the first time for his eye to save him.

[@zachhughes9149]

His Shikai takes children’s games played for fun where the rules can change constantly and turns them deadly, while his Bankai takes an adult play with a script about death and turns it into a game. Shunsui’s powers are the coolest, and I think they did an excellent job portraying them.

[@pRopaaNS]

I think the keyword is not "game", but "play". Shikai is to play games for children, bankai is to play a theater for adults.

[@zachhughes9149]

@@pRopaaNSit’s takes the traditionally scripted play and turns it into a sort of Russian Roulette style game. If Shunsui hasn’t gained the upper hand by the time they take the plunge in act 3, he’s in trouble. It’s not guaranteed to defeat his opponent. Someone will die when it’s used but it could be himself, and once someone does, it ends. This is why he won’t use it around weaker allies.

[@blacksage81]

The rules of his Shikai are fixed, but it seems that he can freely change which game is being played. Though it seems with the exception of Shadow Demon, he needs to somehow announce the game he's playing.

[@zachhughes9149]

@@blacksage81as he says, the rules are the game, and a game isn’t a game until all participants understand the rules. Once he’s explained a game, all of its rules are in play. No need to announce a game change. He even explains his bankai as it progresses.

[@Grayson-Winchester]

I Felt that "Yoooo".... Gave me chills 🔥🔥

[@johnmorrison519]

If he indeed release his bankai aizen could have utilized that, that's probably why ukitake was cautious even though aizen was surronded by flames at that time.

[@ivan_d_feets4495]

It also seems as tho the quincies had some way of gaining data on the shinigami battles…bankai etc. which may not be such a big plot point or make a difference but it definitely lends credibility to the tactic of not just spamming your bankai….cough cough ichigo.

[@freshseth8325]

his bankai doesn't discriminate between friend and foe, so I think he would have killed everyone in fkt back then.

[@naman2203]

I always thought that karamatsu shinju is one of many acts shunshui can pull. Hope we see more of it in the hell arc

[@JohnnyYeTaecanUktena]

I would like to imagine that Aizen would not have sat still back then if he seen this Bankai activated as this was before he transcended. Abstract abilities always come off as otherworldly while sometimes being godlike and Kyoraku's Shikai and Bankai are no exceptions as he truly felt like a god of death in the episode

[@metal87power]

Lily baro winked at kyoraku, wink, wink

[@blacksage81]

Ohana is Ohana she has no second form. Ohana is also Katen Kyouketsu herself, unlike Ukitake's Reson of Two fish.

[@brandoncloudd4446]

I think the manga did it better. There was more dread and despair. The anime version looks prettier but doesn't have a dark feel to it. They could've mixed the two, showing the Noh theatre backdrop then suddenly going dark and then reverting back. Kyoraku has a darker side to him and that should have been drawn out more. The Acts should have been just that an act. While his true power is something way more sinister. But it was a performance to see nonetheless.

[@rayvonvelez3129]

It's over??? Bird hoo hoo noises...

[@kakashihatake1029]

The owl has come Kyoraku. And now it's time for you to go home.

[@NSDon2002]

I feel like his battle was rushed

[@deathmark1940]

No

[@blacksage81]

Each act felt longer, at least for me as I was really digging into the scene, the water act was the longest as Lilibaro spoke to Kyouraku a bit, I can't remember what he said though. The final act seemed the longest in animation, but it felt shorter in the manga.

[@waynegafford1010]

It's not over yet

[@netebom]

So why did the animators mispell SHUNSUI as SYUNSUI in the episode's brief break?

[@kaiwenyeo9397]

that’s actually the correct way to spell it instead of a H. しゅん = Syun. although normally し= shi. but it becomes a different thing when it comes together with ゅ as a minor 発音.

[@netebom]

@@kaiwenyeo9397 THANK YOU SO MUCH! I didn't know that! I actually take some Duolingo lessons and they usually spell the 'shi+yu' combo as 'shu', so i go worried when i spotted the 'SYU' part. I actually learnt from somewhere else (that i can't remember now) that 'Shi' is in fact 'Si' pronounced differenctly. So, what you just said makes perfect sense. Thanks for the re-education. P.S. Kyouraku Syunsui has always been my favorite Gotei 13 captain since the Soul Society arc, hence, my worry.

[@hellkaiser5699]

How would Kyoraku's bankai work against someone like Yamamoto or Aizen? Would it even work? I get the feeling that his bankai would only work against someone with lower spiritual pressure than him. It's a beautiful bankai, but I don't know how effective it would be against a stronger opponent!

[@zachhughes9149]

@@hellkaiser5699 the first 3 acts are meant to compensate for such a disadvantage, but if they’re insufficient, then it’s Shunsui who dies in the final act. Once he’s released his bankai, someone has to die.

[@freshseth8325]

​@@zachhughes9149thats not how it works. Shunsui kills anyone who he gets in his bankai unless you can grow back your head (Current Aizen, Lillie, Gerard, Ywach). Reiatsu advantage or not. And considering how powerful his bankai is, as it was just revealed more in detail this episode, his reiatsu is probably as high as anyone else. So if dan 3 doesn't kill them, he wraps the reiatsu thread around their neck and they are finished.

[@zachhughes9149]

@@freshseth8325Kuramatsu Shinju basically means, “Lovers Suicide Under the Black Pine.” It’s based off an old Japanese play quite similar to Romeo and Juliet, in which the main characters intentionally die together. It’s a popular genre there with a number of spinoffs with different endings having been produced. So, I’d say his Bankai’s script definitely leaves room for the wielder to perish as well, along with anyone else caught on stage, but much like the play, it ends when someone dies. This is why Ukitake doesn’t want him using it around weaker allies. He wasn’t concerned Starkk would simply grow his head back, and all would’ve been for naught.

[@freshseth8325]

@@zachhughes9149 what good is a bankai that can't be controlled? You really think Shunsui would lose to his own ability? He's the most senior captain and Yama's prized student. But according to your theory it's a "suicide play" so he's literally going to kill himself too. That's not the way the play turns out. It's Shunsui narrating the dans, and when the 4th dan comes, he narrates how the woman slices the neck of the shamed lover (Shunsui's opponent[s])

[@zachhughes9149]

@@freshseth8325if you want to believe his bankai is a guaranteed win against anyone incapable of fighting headless or growing new heads as the need arises, you do that.

[@harshanadesilva4266]

Lillie Baro holy form reminded me of Final version Hogyuku Aizen

[@kakashihatake1029]

Barro has the best form in bleach imo

[@leilamaria-p7j]

I like the clickbait but jugram is the strongest followed by uryu or Gerard maybe Either way jugram being yhwach's first son makes him his greatest creation since lile got his schrift before him but was left as a lower position compared to him So jugram >> uryu/gerard > lile.

[@MrRedbull901]

Jugram is literally not even stronger than Gerad let alone lille barro, lille barro clears and is the perfect Quincy

[@pRopaaNS]

Added to the number of fights that stays better in manga format. Before, the Mayuri vs Pernida fight also did not provide. The anime just did not provide much improvement over my own imagination, that interprets the original manga version of the fights. There are few bits that were better, but not the fight as whole. I wish there at least was original OST to add unique flavor/identity to the experience.

Vollstandig+ shrift uryu vs bankai shunsui

[@albuspercivalwulfricbriand5363]

Pre CFYOW - Shunsui takes the W mid diff. Uryu is inexperienced with his Schrift, he has yet to master it and explore it’s limits. Uryu can’t come back from death. Kyoraku blows his head off with his bankai. 10/0 for our Head Captian. CFYOW - Draw, both die. Uryu coundn’t reverse shit, but couldn’t die. Shunsui can’t kill Uryu, but neither does Uryu. They both drain out their reiatsu in Kyoraku’s bankai and die (arguably 3 out of 10 times Kyoraku lives barely hanging due to vast amount of reiatsu). So 6 draws, 1 Uryu win and 3 Kyoraku win. Hell Arc - arguably Yryu, extremely high diff. In theory Uryu can now reverse events independently of the time, but still heavily affected by the amount of reriyoku Uryu puts into his Schrift. He can now reverse and forcefully swap Kyoraku with Bankai active with him that has a Bankai inactive without touching his reiatsu level overall. Kyoraku uses bankai several times, everytime he gets his bankai cancelled. Without Bankai Kyoraku stands no chance of winning. Highly depends on the amount of reiatsu they each have, which was not specified. Likely Uryu win, 7/3 Uryu takes it.

[@lyesmadi4662]

If this fight is really over I really think this fight is overrated,cool abilities and transformations aside,this fight felt one sided(except the time when baro transformed and shinsui was running away ),the head captain was dominating the fight and took the initiative so easily it overshadowed the huge disadvantage that he and the others were being in when they were running away from his snipes.i was hoping kyoraku will be pushed to the point where he can no longer stay the "chill guy" that he is .
