Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War - EP: 2

Surprised you didn’t call out Ichigos bedsheets being green and white stripes like Uraharas hat

The chef is in the kitchen cuz you cooked with your analysis

Nah watch the intro it never has made me upset that I watched it. True fans won't mind it.

Man I wish they had found a way to repair Nells mask in the OG series. We need adult Nell around more.

Btw keep track of the name and letter of each quincy that appears, the letters signify something important

He also looks like the pirate king from one piece

In regards to Orihime, she’s honestly a much better character in the manga. You get way more of her inner thoughts, she’s a lot funnier, and there’s really nowhere near as much ambiguity about who Ichigo’s romantic interest is. In the manga it’s pretty clearly Orihime, rather than there being this constant Ichigo/Rukia vs Ichigo/Orihime debate. I’d say TYBW is probably the only part of the anime that really does her justice. I’m not saying she’s one of the greatest female characters ever written or anything, but for that classic shonen archetype of the sweet, devoted girl who eventually becomes the protagonist’s wife, I think she’s at least as good as someone like Hinata. Both are perfectly fine characters. Though, I think Bleach unironically has some of the most consistently well written female characters in anime, and I say this as not a massive shonen enjoyer. Orihime just got way more hate than she deserved, and I definitely think the original anime adaptation deserves some of the blame for that. TYBW has helped fix her reputation a lot though. And she’s also way stronger than people give her credit for. Her ability is genuinely kind of absurd. There’s a reason Aizen, probably one of the most calculating characters in the entire series, took such an interest in her power. She does have really low confidence, though, and I think people sometimes mistake that for weakness or cowardice. She isn’t weak and she definitely isn’t a coward. She’s extremely powerful and repeatedly puts herself in dangerous situations for other people. The issue is that she doesn’t really understand just how powerful she is, so she questions herself constantly and struggles to have confidence in what she can do. And thankfully TYBW gave Tite Kubo a chance to revisit a lot of things. Parts of Bleach’s final arc were pretty rushed in the manga, so with Kubo being much more directly involved in the anime, he was able to expand scenes, add material, and change some things he wasn’t completely satisfied with the first time around. I think Orihime benefits a lot from that too.

MID EPISODE CARD TRANSLATIONS: Arrancar are Hollows who have removed their masks and gained the powers of Shinigami. Due to the effects of the Hogyoku, their numbers have increased dramatically, and adult forms that closely resemble humans have been completed. The stronger the power they had as Hollows, the higher their combat abilities and the more human-like their form becomes. They wear a broken mask and a white Shinigami uniform and carry a Zanpakuto. An Arrancar's Zanpakuto is the "core" of the Arrancar's abilities sealed in the form of a sword, and by performing Resurrección, which is equivalent to a Shinigami's Bankai, they can unleash their true abilities and form. They also possess a highly spiritually hardened form called Hierro, a high-speed movement ability called Sonido that is comparable to Shunpo and Hirenkyaku, and they can use Cero. Generally, they lose the super-fast regeneration ability they had as Hollows. Hueco Mundo is a space located between the Human World and the Soul Society, inhabited by Hollows. It can only be entered by passing through a Garganta. It is always night, and the moon is reflected inverted compared to the Human World. The surface is covered with a white, sand-like substance, and dead trees composed of a quartz-like material are scattered throughout. There is no water. The concentration of spiritual particles in the atmosphere is higher than in the Human World and the Soul Society, and a typical Hollow can obtain sufficient nutrients simply by breathing. Furthermore, the combat abilities of Shinigami and Quincy are greatly increased. Aizen Sousuke and his subordinates once occupied Las Noches in Hueco Mundo.

we have been fed good up until now, so this 2 episodes per week feels like we are being forced into a new fad diet.

About Harribel, I don't remember if it was explained in one of the light novels or in the manga side stories that got cut, but since it's never brought up in TYBW itself I might as well explain: When Fake Karakura and Real Karakura were switched back, Harribel and her Fraccion were still inside Fake Karakura, so they ended up in Soul Society. One of her Fraccion who managed to stay conscious after being roasted by old man Yama found Orihime and begged her to heal Harribel. Orihime being the kindest person alive healed all of them and then they went back to Hueco Mundo.

A lot of people call this part of the manga/anime the "Hollow"-caust Ya'll should definitely do Samurai Champloo at some point. Some of the best music/action in anime.

I love Taylor's theories so much. They either cook super hard, fall completely flat or are somewhere right in between. The reveals that show him where he's right and where he's not are going to be fucking amazing and it's going to be so much fun seeing Karlii's reaction to those moments.

You were right to go to 1 ep per video, especially for this cour, as there is a lot of info per episode. But man, this sucks as a viewer lol. I need more!

Can’t wait to get home from work LOL

BOOOPPPPP!!!! Gotta love the Karlii "No he fuckin doesn't" and then deadpan Office stare into camera when she realized that Taylor might be cooking lmfao This is also a much more canon version of Hime to begin with. The director of the OG Bleach damn near RUINED her character by making her this damsel in distress all the time when in reality she was much more confident and badass. We get to see ACTUAL Orihime here and its amazing and also each episode ends with a poem by Kubo so I highly recommend looking at them after each episode, not only are they badass it'll help with Taylors theories I think xDxD

Please do not watch the intro for this cour until you finish it. It has massive spoilers in it.

That's insane, holy fuck

Computah bypass the space/time law protocole and give me all the episode,computah do it fast

marvelous reaction tkohhh

TYBWWWWWW
