I agree that Central 46 were evil, but the thing with the sword kinda makes sense here. This is 100% a theory, but it's very possible that the Ise family sword is the one that was made to dismember the Soul King. That's not the kind of thing that they want floating around randomly.

If you look back to Senjumaru's Bankai we can see that she defeated Lille Barro by reflecting his own attacks. Similarly, Pernida was engulfed by black soil. Black soil in Japanese means Kurotsuchi. And Mayuri Kurotsuchi was the one who defeated Pernida in the end. So there's a theory that Senjumaru's Bankai is a reality weaving Bankai. Also Shunsui was told that he wouldn't run into the curse by hiding the sword anymore but that wasn't the case. He lost his mentor or father figure in Yamamoto, colleague in Unohana and a friend in Ukitake.

Lille's second Vollstandig design is incredible because he's supposed to be a literal divine angel inspired by the biblical angels who had monstrous forms and didn't look like generic humans with wings and white robes. He's a combination of a seraphim and a cherubim in design although the owl face is a little jarring and probably Kubo's take on an angel. Lille's final attack, the Trompete is reminiscent to the eight cherubs playing their trumpets and bringing about a terrible judgment in Revelation - and the Trompete also looks like the geometric Gabriel's Horn which is another cool reference by Kubo. It also shows just how powerful Yhwach has become as the new Soul King/God of the Bleachverse since his own elite subordinates are now divine guardians. Not just Lille but also Gerard who you will see next cour.

Like if Central 46 is messing with the seireitei's ability to protect enemies from entering the soul palace then they're a threat to the soul king and ichibei should just turn them into Summer Ants.

Outside of Nanao's sword coming out of nowhere, this was a brilliant episode. Just wished the anime had set it up even just a little bit. Hell a little comment from Nimaiya or even Ichibei would have been enough to solve a lot of the issues with the sword. A lot of people are coping that this was the Soul King's sword. To them I'll just say this - you are missing the point. The sword's existence itself isn't the issue, the problem is that it comes out of literally nowhere. I am fine with a god like being killed by unconventional ceremonial means. It just needs to be set up and built up unlike what happened here.
@defro125Күн бұрын
Nanao was never shown with a Zanpaktou and instead has always been depicted as an advanced kido user. Every member of the court guards has a Zanpaktou which leads to the question, "Why doesn't Nanao?" This episode answers this question, while also shedding light on the relationship between Nanao and Shunsui and removing the shadows that held her back. She was aware that Shunsui had the blade, which was shown in flashback and because she asked for it, implied that she knew it would be useful with dealing with Lille. This all makes sense and is foreshadowed based on what we know of these characters. The only issue is that the blade is meant to deal with "Gods", which annoys people because such an important weapon should have more pomp and circumstance. But the sword is just a means to complete Shunsui's and Nanao's role in the arc. I honestly think if instead of being described as a god, Lille's X-Axis fully powered turned him into a being of light and the Ise Blade was just a reflective mirror, folks would have less issue with it.
@maizeman90Күн бұрын
We've seen Nanao numerous times in this show, never with a zanpaktou. The bread crumbs were always there. It has long been a question as to why she was the one soul reaper in the series that didn't have a weapon and only used Kido in combat. Nemu didn't have a blade either, but she was an outlier being a Lieutenant of Mayuri.

By that silly logic Yoruichi is gonna pull some random BS sacred relic and one shot Yhwach because she has never been seen with a Zanpakuto. Edit : On another note, themes and arcs shouldn't mean that the writer gets to gut any stakes in the fight just to fulfill that theme. Also doesn't help that prior to this fight Nanao was basically one of the most sidelined characters out there. Would have been nice if Kubo had bothered to actually give her something prior to this fight.
