Fun fact: A fan animator actually played a role in the animation of this episode. His KZbin name is Retro Ryno and he did a whole bunch of TYBW fan animations a few years back. He's credited in this episode under his real name Ryan White. Pierrot seriously went above and beyond to involve someone from the community.

That’s so heartwarming. I know the community didn’t expect TYBW to be animated so some people tried themselves and Ichigo’s VA even voiced a bit. Glad to see that come around

[@mastixencounter]

Here’s just a little bit of information that the anime skipped, Royd and Loyd are twins Sternritter Y, the one that Yama fought first and the one that kenpachi fought that copied him. “The first person to confuse the twins Loyd and Royd for one another was the nurse who brought them into the world. From the moment of their birth, it was unclear which was the “older” and which was the “younger” brother, and the order that the nurse told the parents was, in fact, incorrect. Both the parents, too, soon lost track of which was the older and which the younger so ultimately, the question of which child was the older became meaningless. The reason why these two children resembled one another so closely was because they had been subconsciously imitating one another since before they were even born. They did not realise this themselves until they were both five years old. And when they were twelve years old, they realised that they could imitate other people as well as one another. The older brother Loyd could perfectly imitate another’s appearance, power and skill (the one that fought Kenpachi). The younger brother Royd could perfectly imitatate another’s appearance, memories, and mind (the one that pretended to be yhwach).”

Spoiler-- The king can share his powers with whomever he chooses. So while Lloyd did have more ability thanks to having all the knowledge of special powers that only the king would know; he was likely also given a disproportionate amount of power to help make his standin more convincing. Especially when one considers that whenever someone he has lent power dies, he gets all his power back and more.

[@za-ir5ni]

It wasn't really a plan. They pretty much just overpowered the Soul Reapers. You can tell because some of the Sternritters got one shotted by Kenpachi and Yamamoto so they didn't understand their capabilities.

@@AdequateProximityPH it's also the biggest point in the favor of seasonal anime instead of weekly ones. Look at JJK and Demon Slayer.

Literally the perfect BANKAI and all with only 1 hand since giving up his other hand in the battle with Aizen, who coincidentally enough that we finally see return, just like we saw then we see it again here with Yhwach, can only ever hope to win by cheating/having someone else fight in their place to sacrifice themselves.

Aizen wasn’t sitting in a chair. He was standing up

[@darknesswave100]

That wasn't the chair yet. He was legit pinned to the wall

[@watchonjar]

15million degrees is 50% hotter then the surface of the sun

[@OhyeahMrKrabz]

In the manga we don't see Aizen till much later so its a bit of a surprise to see him so soon

[@Wadadli_Gaming]

I was NOT ready for that intro….def gained a new supporter❤😮

[@LuckyLefty92]

That "Summer in Arizona" 😭😭😭😭

[@morgane.n]

I never get tired of Lupa screaming🤣🤣

Ywach's impostor bodied Kenpachi ☠️

[@FatalCorleone07]

Manga reader here: you do know that Ywhach can literally share his power with other Quincy, right? He gets it back after they die or he can take it back whenever he sees fit. So that was a bit of his actual power temporarily

[@darknesswave100]

That wasn't the imposter then. It was the real one. Then before the fight starts he switched with Royd and went to go talk to aizen

[@FatalCorleone07]

@@darknesswave100 ...no...I'm a Manga reader..that makes no sense to do..did I not just explain to you how the imposter got his strength??

[@zerofang009]

I literally forgot how *SERIOUS* that bankai was. My god.

[@The_Balance29]

Damn, Yamamoto had it coming ngl. Major Quincy W

[@Worn_Guide]

3:49 Wow! Had I not been reading the subtitles I would've definitely missed that gem!

[@TheBatmanWhoReacts]

Yhwach pulled the uno reverse card on Yamamoto 🤣

[@KuriousHeroD]

Lupa: “is that Hell?” Yamamoto: “wait a minute”

Summer In Arizona

[@insomniaworks5309]

I just wanted to make a comment to appreciate the graphics yall have for the show info. Shit's beautiful.

[@justsomeguywithamustache2901]

I'm glad to see, other than mappa, bones or ufotable, another animation studio, by the name of studio pierrot gave us a god tier battle

[@Crimson-L-Drago]

I love it when roshi and lupa say the same things at the same time

[@regret.932]

This season has me feeling so overwhelmed. I seriously can't see how the main crew will win with all that's going on. As a Side note Yamamoto is a beast. His Bankai is legit a cheat code in this verse.

[@ajizel13]

Whats dope about his bankai is when you see him use the west side, he is literally wrapped in fire...all you see is his head..

[@user-my5um6iz5u]

The whole main problem was with them thinking that the Quincy‘s were all the same from before but the fact that the fellow captains are having trouble should’ve been accounted for and the fact that they had the nerve to stroll in to their domain should’ve been taken into account but even the head captain underestimated when in fact the head captain could’ve went banki and killed almost every one of his lieutenants but he let his emotions take over

[@jesushernandez3349]

"He 'bout to use it back on him..please don't..not the south" Lupa is just to funny 😂

[@williamhu6941]

What I liked about episode six is Aizen and Yhwach having a conversation since it wasn’t in the manga material, and I’m glad that it got added in the anime, and the head captain fighting using his only one arm and going out full Bankai.

[@ManuelRodriguez-by5su]

Don't know, how the handle it in the manga was great back then. In the manga they tell us they talked but we don't see what they talked. That created a lot of suspense and speculation back then. I will say both are great approaches.

[@chaosen3]

Summer in Arizona had me dying, loving it guys 🤣
