What sealed Lille's fate in this fight was when he accepted being called a god by Nanao, which directly contradicted him being a messenger of god. A good place for villains to die is when they finally show their colours. Lille starts out calm and collected. He goes for one shot kills and doesn't really hype himself up, he lets his attacks show how powerful he is. In his first transformation, he starts having a power trip. He openly states how powerful he is and yaps about people being sinners, and by the second transformation he has completely lost his original personality and he says what he really thinks. He believes he is an immortal god, and his blasphemy towards Yhwach is what leads to his downfall. He gives up on strategy and skill and goes straight for the biggest attacks. The change in his appearance also reflects this. He no longer resembles the Lille Barro we were introduced to. He loses both his body and his signature green colour, replaced by an eldritch beast parading as a god.

He basically transforms into a biblically accurate angle in his previous form, a Seraphim. Then he turned into what I can only call a bastardization of god.

@Mespyy lmfao it makes so much sense he did damage, she endured it, and used endeavor to get him to 1 hp

[@Torifunee]

Fun fact: Kubo had the idea of the Ise clan slaying God since the beginning. The name Ise comes from the "Ise Shrine". The Ise Shrine holds Yata no Kagemi (eight ata sword) while Hakkyouken means eight mirror sword. In Japanese mythology Amaterasu was defeated using Yata no Kagemi, she was struck by her own reflection. Names have a ridiculous amount of meaning in Bleach, even on the most irrelevant characters. I'll go over Aizen as well here in addition because hey it's Aizen. - The name "Aizen" comes from an Esoteric Buddhism deity (Aizen Myo'o) (this is also where Komamura's Bankai, Tengen Myo'o comes from). This deity transforms desires into an energy that rids people of their suffering, and thus lets them reach nirvana aka perfection. Aizen wanted to overthrow the Soul King, be perfect. He later realizes that perfection is nothing but a curse. This is expanded upon in Aizen's final conversation but I don't want to spoil. (Would also like to add the meaning this has with Komamura. Tosen's Bankai is -: "Enma Korogi". Enma is like Myo'o, except it continues the cycle of suffering. Komamura (Myo'o)=no suffering, Tosen(Enma)=suffering. Komamura told Tosen that revenge is never the right path and that his heart would be gone if he couldn't forgive Tosen. He later literally plugs his heart out for revenge and couldn't even kill a weak Quincy, proving himself right.) - "Kyoka Suigetsu" comes from a Chinese phrase, literally means "Mirror flower, water moon". Represents a fatamorgana, something beautiful you can see but can't touch. Obviously, this plays into the illusion aspect but there is more. Aizen always looked up at the Soul King but was unable to reach him, Kubo often referred to Aizen as "Gaze into the Sun" (Soul King's name represents the Sun). Getsu means moon, Mugetsu means moonless sky. Sorry for the yap session, I'm just really passionate about this series...😭

[@bryana.escaleralopez]

ive always told critics that Bleach was the one out of the big 3 who was ahead of their time and that hurt it the most. This series was limited by the technology of the time while other series benefit from it by having cartoony designs and animators could simply just do less serious direction. But Bleach? from designs to writing it was the most experimental of them all. Im glad the tech finally caught up so we can actually see the vision like how it was always meant to be.

[@shockhorn81]

About Aizen being hot and Shinni being weird for having long hair yeah it was in manga they kept a lot of the comedic lines. This was fight was amazingly animated and they could not have made the soundtrack better. You can say Nanao's zanpakuto was introduced out of nowhere just to have counter to Barro but the explanation for it makes sense and the flashback shows her relationship with Shunsui. There are rumours of a 14th episode but nothing is confirmed other than the title of the next episode, so even for manga readers it's hard to tell where they'll end whether they extend some scenes or begin on what we think will be cour 4

[@Mespyy]

yea and people also told me it was all foreshadowed in Senjumarus Bankai as well

[@shockhorn81]

​@@MespyyYeah it just shows how good Kubo is

[@certainlynotmalo1.0.0]

@shockhorn81 Not really, that's an anime only addition. Back in the day of the actual manga chapter, the introduction of Shinken Hakkyōken was something that split the fans for a good while, because it came out of nowhere. I loved me some Nanao and Shunsui action, but others hated it. Btw, the 14th episode is confirmed. It's because the last season ended halfway into the last episode, they put the end of it into the first episode of this season along with the recap. Also, there's no summary at the half-way point this season due do this. And episode 13 and 14 will air at the same day as a double feature. Nice.

[@officiallyjan8596]

@@Mespyy The Senjumaru foreshadowing part is just wishful thinking though, what it foreshadows is him being beaten by his own power but the sword itself still comes completely out of nowhere both literally and conceptually. Awfully convenient that Shunsui's lieutenant just so happens to own a hereditary zanpakutou that can do literally ONE thing that just so happens to be absolutely tailor-made for exactly this opponent and no one else. It didn't even play into how she ended up fighting him, it was legitimately just sheer coincidence that she ended up facing the one enemy she was designed to Uno Reverse when no one else could. I love bleach but there are absolutely flaws in this arc, as good as it may otherwise be.

[@resurgingflame]

I read somewhere that Shinken Hakkyoken is one of several "ancient" zanpakuto who's kept by the noble houses & has significance history with the sacrifice & imprisonment of Soul King. If I rmmber correctly, the light novel also introduced one as well & it's used by the villain there. It'd be amazing if Kubo can explore more about these swords tbh.

[@KoalaZwastaken]

I'm just here to say i'm always excited every saturday, and Senjumaru's bankai actually worked already, it sealed the Sternritters fate, Lille barro got his shot reflected back at him, Pernida got taken out by black sand (Kurotsuchi aka Mayuri). The others are spoilers, but it makes Squad 0 have the power they deserve, even after death the bankai is acting, Kubo can finally cook in peace. It's got to the point i can't even predict what the next episode is gonna be as someone who read the manga, i just know peak is coming.

​@@Mespyythere's also burn the witch, which is canon to bleach Which takes place in soul society's west parts, aka in "reverse London" and other than that and the novel, I'm sure you've seen the term "hell arc" being thrown around everywhere, basically in 2021 we got a one shot chapter set 10 years after thousand years blood war called no breaths from hell, and at the end the title changes from 'no' to 'new', which lead everyone to think we will get a hell arc but that was kinda it, we haven't heard any news about it But interestingly enough, if what I heard is correct, in a recent Klub outside question, Kubo was asked about how urahara's buisness was, he said it was bad, but during the hell arc it has started to pic up thanks to the help of the soul society And if it wasn't a mistranslation or just misinformation, Kubo himself said the hell arc

[@thelostuchihazoro]

I just watched the episode and saw a lot of comments saying that nanao's zampakuto was one of the biggest asspulls in history and there was no foreshadowing to it blah blah I need to prove them wrong cuz in senjumaru's bankai literally showed lille shooting to a mirror and dieing which is nanao's zampakuto and pernida being sucked by black sand and kurotsuchi in japanese means black sand and there is more but that would be a spoiler for you. and soul king was a god like being whose hands and legs had got to be cut by something and that something is the ise clan's zampakuto and it is said to be refleact the god's power and disperse it as showed in the recent episode and soul king's both arms were also reflected and disperse as whole different beings and people still call it an asspull and there is more but it would be a spoiler as it is in the light novels

[@Mespyy]

I always heard that Bleach had asspulls and plot armor from other people before getting into it, but now that I caught up im looking around like wheres the plot armor at? not one time have i seen something in Bleach and thought it was plot or an asspull. also thank you for the pointing out the foreshadowing, Senjumarus Bankai is even cooler looking back at it now

[@Honest_Mids_Masher]

The only issue I have is Lille qualifying as a god himself despite repeatedly calling himself a messenger. My only theory as to why it worked is if it wasn't used to slay gods but Quincy's as well considering the Soul King was part Quincy but due to the fact that the blade was never used for anything other than rituals after the Soul King was dismembered people just assumed it only kills gods.

[@ItachiEspada]

@@Honest_Mids_Masher In my Mind Yhwa is the Son of God and he gave a piece of himself to Lille. Lille was also the first Quincy to receive the Blessing and seing that he's part of the Elite Sternritter I reckon it's on the same Level as being a part of the Soul King himself. Considering that some other of the Elite Sternritter are literal Pieces of the Soul Kings Body, it only makes Sense that the God-Counter Zanpakuto works against them; at least to me^^ Pernidas and Gerard should have a hard Time against it, too

Also, I don't someone mentioning this in your comments, but Senjomaru's bankai spoiled the last 2 Schutztaffel deaths when they were trapped: - Pernida was swallowed by black sands, and Kurotsuchi in Japanese translates to "Black Dirt/earth" - Lille Baro was pierced by his bullets because he shot at some mirrors, and Nanao's Zanpakuto Shinken Hakkyoken means "8 mirror Sword"

[@mirakodus1]

Shinken Hakkyōken translates to "Holy Sword: Eight-Mirror Sword" - it's a slight hint to one of Imperial Regalia of Japan - Yata no Kagami "Eight Span Mirror" beeing kept in Ise Shrine in Japan. Those information (more for native audiance) and the fact that Nanao didn't had Zanpaktou hints that the forshadowing was there all along for such revelation to happen.

[@TheHeartThatRunsCold]

I find it really interesting how the narrative of this arc shifted from manga only to the anime fandom. Because when I read this Arc, my first thought was, "Bleach should've just ended with Aizen." I get it. Most people don't think about how contrived scenarios are in anime of all things. But this arc was the biggest sinner of building up unkillable threats only for a specific character to have the perfect counter. I'm not a fan of writing like that, nor were many people. But the anime can dazzle with production value to distract from its shortfalls (Demon Slayer *cough cough*). To be clear, it is a good thing because I could only roll my eyes at Nanao's convenient tool in this fight in the manga.

[@KaiLoRei]

I know a lot of fans have said they didn’t like Lille Barro’s transformation in the manga, but I think it actually fits his title much better. His original being just a husk, and then he transforms into this god-like being. That evolution really emphasizes the divine aspect of his character and works perfectly with who he's supposed to be

[@Elias-qp7cz]

Your channel is growing like crazy bro

[@Edge-mv3jw]

Been waiting for these moments. And they didn’t disappoint. Especially when it comes to making the stories of these characters known now. (Where a lot of them kind of shove backstories in your face at the beginning). Bleach does it here at the end, and it just works. Personally, I think cour 4 is gonna be the one me that takes the cake though

[@xethified]

The thing that got me about Shunsui is that the revelations made here really go back to the Soul Society arc about why he was so keen to stop the execution of Rukia. He's been here before with Nanao's mother. He see's these kids fighting to stop society doing something terrible in the name of tradition again and he decides to fight alongside them in the end because he wanted to be able to do the same when it happened to him.

[@thewarrior8497]

This cour has been peak so far

[@tinfoilslacks3750]

One thing to keep in mind, during the flashback, Shunsui complains about how he hates that everyone entrusts their precious possessions to him then dies, and he hates all of the responsibility. He says this during the flashback about the zanpakuto, the hair pins, and Nanao's mom's kemono, but the most important instance of this has already happened in the present. Yamamoto, Shunsui's surrogate father figure, dies and entrusts the entire Gotei 13, *his* Gotei 13, to Shunsui. That's why Nanao's decision is so important. She makes Shunsui give a precious item back, prepares to die as a result of doing so, and then Shunsui resolves to support her so that she won't. Undoing Shunsui's burdens, but also giving him a new one.

peakalicious what can i say

[@Mespyy]

peakalicious added to my vocab

[@AlexKlindt]

Another thing to point out s that an 'old man in the Ise family' is something that can't really exist. The couple who took in Nanao were likely Shunsui's parents.

[@DaToat]

bae wake up, mespy dropped another peak banger.

And there is also a 20th anniversary anime adaptation which could be anything like a prequel movie or anime reboot etc. And when the promotional vid of bleach 20th anniversary came on oct 5 the aniplex description translation says something like 'we gonna take a big step with these for future' and after that vid the official bleach 20th anniversary site changes to 'other anime projects for anniversary are underway' means we getting multiple anime projects of bleach. And this cour will have 14 ep so we got an extra ep. We eating good.

[@AlexESR71]

nah fam. Bleach has been my jam since day one back in 2009 when I first started watching the show. Back in 2016 the manga was peak for me in these episodes specifically and little later we got the notice it was ending. Watching as they´ve handled everything and see it happening is unspeakable to me. Not sure if anyone noticed but the trees forming during Shunsui´s bankai activation were the same trees we see when the sun was setting back in the flashback. And the whole execution deal is setting up some real deal lore pertaining the novels and nobility clans talked about in them. What a show. And for some godamn reason Nanao hella cute I´m now into nerdies for fcks sake 😂

[@animhaxx]

I am so happy they didn’t ruin not ruin lille with cgi😭. That golden wings they changed it finally

[@saocode871-v5b]

This episode made Shunsui my favorite character in Bleach

[@badongpalacio312]

Liutenants are the MVP in the recent episodes.

[@Snzn_7]

Yeah and they always start the new phase of fights with defeating a lieutenant. They killed Sasikibe ti start the war. They One shot Kira for the first invasion. Matsumoto gets defeated first in the second invasion. Hisagi gets shot down first in the wanderiech invasion. Nanao and Nemu got to propped the pride of lieutenants.

10/10 episode 10/10 review

[@isaacbrown4506]

Knowing where we are now, and what comes next, i know there's going to be a ton of massive changes to the end of the arc. I'm excited as hell for it, knowing there's a lot of things that could've been done better, but Kubo was sick at the time. Glad to have another person along for the ride of this hype train. Can't wait to see your reaction to the end 😁

[@whatiwant8898]

Cour 3 has blown away my expectations for it and I've just been loving it. If you really like Bleach, I'd love to see you watch the filler arcs (other than the Bounts) and make videos on them. Bleach has the best filler of the big 3 by a large margin.

[@leonelperrin5580]

I’m glad you are enjoying it, 😢 so many are highlighting the negative comment over the millions like you that are loving it

[@Mespyy]

theres too much negativity lol, i learned its best to just have a positive mindset about anime and life in general

[@dagon7259]

I also couldnt believe this season has been this good. S1 was an amazing season for us return to. S2 for me was a stepdown in term of the story and characters but S3 felt just as good if not better than S1. Animation was great all throughout though

[@Mespyy]

i agree with all of this. Cour 1 was the best narrative core imo while Cour 2 focused a lot on the fights, Cour 3 feels like a good mix of both. now we wait for Cour 4 to blow our minds

[@dagon7259]

@Mespyy so that's why S3 felt so good. The fights being so much better while also having a strong narrative really made me enjoy it a lot more. And the fact that we got to see more bankai and zanpakuto we didn't before just builds up more hype

[@stefanjordan4770]

Man digivolved to peckmon and got destroyed by the adolescent bookworms sword of revealing light reversing his hyper beam cannon 😅

[@paledrake]

If Pierrot does it justice the next few episodes will be absolutely heart-wrenching and insane.

[@smoothcriminal4618]

I don’t want to overhype it to much But cour 4, Judging by the Changes done now, will have so much original content im so extremely hyped Besides have you listened to Aizens Theme now ? To See what I meant with Gins betrayal being foreshadowed

[@micah459]

While the fight pulled a Dues Ex Machina, the animation was god tier and the staff definitely put their all into it. Give these people a raise

[@Kitszki]

I have seen your first video with less than 1000 views and since then watched every single video of you, all i can say is that I love how much you enjoy peak. Keep it up 🫶.

[@Mespyy]

thank you, still surprised that video did as well as it did lol but Bleach fans are very passionate about peak. im almost sad that i caught up because i wish i could just watch Bleach endlessly

[@Boshek2019]

Tell me you don’t read the manga without telling me you don’t read the manga

[@Mespyy]

i dont lol, i started bleach not to long ago and im anime only

[@yahyawihamza4064]

The best of 2024 💥💥💥

[@sparta1694]

The fact that theres still people out there that refuse to watch bleach is crazy to me

[@jodanmeyer5076]

I'm glad I found someone who loves this series as much as me 😭

[@yogitabairwa5840]

Now let's enjoy other's upcoming fights, it's amazing to see the peak together ❤😊

[@madara5458]

One subtle thing I loved is that ukitake told shunsui about the execution after it had taken place. I think that it's probably because he knew that shunsui would have acted rashly if he knew beforehand

[@IdkIdk-vm4dm]

As an Askin fan, I'm waiting for his time to shine in the next Cour. Love the little bits we got of him this part. Wonderful episode. My favorite one this Cour has to be ep 36 though, as Nemu, Mayuri and Pernida were characters I reslly enjoyed.

[@Mespyy]

agreed, loved this episode and all others of course but ep 36 was on another level

[@IdkIdk-vm4dm]

@Mespyy that episode hurt as I knew her death was coming but smol Nemu was so adorable and it made me even more sad knowing what was about to happen. Pernida is also quite an underrated Sternritter, I like how eerie and out of place he is, being a literal hand. Also I love your videos dude

[@jeffjuin4257]

Chefs kiss since the season has started..can't wait for the English dud

[@JohnAnenih]

Another thing nobody talks about how proud the Quincy are and got the power to back up

[@alizwamatwa6262]

Kubo has been COOOOKING !!

[@Some_Duck_Perhaps]

I love when a character acknowledge how painful some of these wounds are. If I were in Nanao's place receiving that kinda wound in my legs, I wouldn't be able to just walk it off too.

[@Pr0m3th3us86]

PEAKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@TheChimpPit]

Had to drop the sub, man's got a real nice voice and just rambling about anime n all that good stuff! Hope you keep it up man I can't wait to see where you and your channel go! 👍

[@Mespyy]

thank you!

[@Light079]

apparentky cour 3 is going up to 14 episodes cause half of the first episode was a recap, also have you noticed that senjumaru's bankai basically forshadows how the quincies will die.

[@Blackvoidwithwhiteside7193]

No , it just showed what will help in their defeat

[@yahyawihamza4064]

Yep

[@MoonlightMaskG]

We still got cour 4 left bleach has been on generational run, this cour has been phenomenal

[@anismechanis3096]

Have you looked at the end poem ? It always teases what the next ep will be + the title (next week's episode is def gonna be fire 🔥)

[@go-ahead28]

What is your overall rating for Bleach out of 10?

[@Mespyy]

10 🗣️ literally has everything i love in an anime and the only downside of it is that the pacing can be slow at points during the Arrancar arc, but thats it

[@go-ahead28]

@@Mespyy really glad to hear that someone else is also enjoying Bleach, the same way I did.

[@kaimobley5324]

Next episode is going to be some heat as well

[@xxvimilia]

Fun thing to note, the imagery of his life could be seen in his bankai. Very neat symbolism to catch on the rewatch. Like at 4:00. Those are the trees when he starts his bankai

[@SingleLeveling]

Man, Shunsui suffered so much and has so much responsibility. First Old Man Yama, then Ukitake, and basically most of the people he knows. Despite that, he keeps moving forward and continue fighting. That's why Shunsui my goat

[@Boredomstruck321]

Fun fact we’re getting 14 episodes this cour
