The Unstoppable Gerard | BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 3 | VIZ

[@animanco6833]

They actually give Shinji and the vizards a much needed extended role. Now that’s a miracle

[@AkiraNasuki]

Whats interesting is that the vizord that are captains took off thier captains Haori, meaning that whilst they serve as Captains or lieutenants of the Gotei, they will not use their Hollow mask and powers in combat out of pride. But to act as Vizords and yo use hollowfication, they will cast aside their haori and fight as Vizords

I actually like that they’re putting an emphasis on them making sure 2 do that since in the manga Bleach fans or at least I did - Used that as the excuse/rsn why they didn’t rly use it in the TYBW arc as much as they should’ve. Since it was “banned”. but just thinking abt that sounds silly when the stakes in the story/show are at an all time high lol

Mixed feelings about it. I was extremely impressed and happy but at the same time it looked weak. The damage it dealt and the way it looked was as if it’s a low or mid tier Kido.

It was a literal firecracker compared to the sizeable explosion Urahara's own use of Hado #91 made, though (which to be fair is pretty natural, since its an incantation less high-numbered Kidō cast by a shinigami, that doesn't speciallize in it). Talk about a minimalist approach.
