So, I'm not really shocked that they reshowed stuff from the last episode. I always assumed they would reshow the Ichibe stuff. Although, the Senjumaru fight was also still going on, so I understand why, especially since it's been a whole year. At least they did add some new stuff in between the old stuff. Now, onto the actually new stuff:

Finally, the Almighty is here. In my opinion, it's one of the most broken abilities in anime, lol.

Ishida stock has gone up, alright. Did he just get a Vollständig!? Kubo, what are you cooking?

They turned Futen Taisatsuryō into a ritual dance. That makes sense.

This ended exactly where I thought the last season was going to end. Literally, the same spot (Soul King stabbed), lol. So, for me, this kind of felt like a holdover from last time. I still very much enjoyed it, especially the after-credit scene. And, as always, a dope title card.

From what the Japanese previews said, the next episode will have a very big fight, so I'm excited to see some brand-new stuff.

What better way to hype Ichigo vs Uryu (at least if it actually happens this cour) than by showing how much more powerful Uryu is now?

the idea of uryu being anywhere close to ichigo is just pathetic

He drank Yhwach's blood. That unlocked his potential, and as Yhwach told him at the beginning of Cour 2, he also gained the letter A Schrift.

Ichigo wouldn't have done any better against Senjumaru than Uryu did.

Probably worse, based on his fighting style.

with all the foreshadowing, and as the previous pvs of the new game say “cut fate”. while ishida has a reverse uno for a shrift. it seems that ichigos bankai will have the power to cut fate.

There's a fun fantasy series, the Kingkiller Chronicles, that has a tree with similar powers to the Almighty. Tree can talk, but that's it. It has no weapons, can't move, can't even defend itself. But it has this power and it's evil, and that makes it an absolutely terrifying entity. Can't imagine how much scarier it'd be if you gave it legs and a sword.

we will find out how evil it actually is in the third book...eventually

Ngl, for once I enjoyed the long recap because I'd kind of forgotten what everyone in Senjamaru's bankai got killed by. I did like the twist of how YH awakening the Almighty resonated with Uryu and allowed him to break out.

One of my favorite fights from the whole arc is coming up this cour, so I'm super pumped for that.

it's one of the most broken abilities in anime, lol.

if we go by literally what he said, its not. you just have to kill him with something he hasn't seen. could literally kill him with a prick from a poisoned pin.

if we go by literally what he said, its not. you just have to kill him with something he hasn't seen.

You are missing a critical detail. There's nothing he hasn't seen. Poison you say? He seems the future, he will see you attempting to poison him. Thus, it won't work because he has seen it.

It's the most powerful ability in Bleach, and with a fairly large gap at that.

They're talking about the Almighty, not Uryu's stuff, which yes, makes it worse.

We all have our days.

That's not true. As Jugrum and Yhwach state in the episode, he sees the future, and anything he sees in the future, he can negate.

u/Serious-Prompt-7615 Oct 06 '24

I’m going to assume you’re an anime only because when someone says that the almighty is one of the most broken abilities in anime it’s true. What was showcased was only the tip of the iceberg.

u/DrStein1010 https://myanimelist.net/profile/mQDrStein1010 Oct 06 '24

What he "sees" is the future.

He sees himself getting stabbed and negates it.
