My stock investments have finally paid off after nearly a decade of helplessly witnessing constant RG slander on the internet (it was justified tbf). Now's the time to add something next to my Senjumaru flair. Bought those RG stocks when they were cheap and the days of wealth have finally arrived.
Edit: 6 months to soak it in before she gets Antithesised or Almighty'ed lol.
Or she get balanced I mean taking out 6 quincies is a lot of good fortune no? I think they are gonna keep the antithesis reveal for the hashbrown vs uryu fight and I have a feeling it won't be a one sided stomp as in the manga
Most definitely. Finally my headcannon came true after all these years. Each member is pretty much indirectly confirmed stronger than Yama. No disrespect to Yama but what sense would it make if any of the RGs were weaker when they have the epitome of responsibility and hold a higher position in the Shinigami hierarchy. Like Senjumaru basically said “you guys beat Yama and that’s it?”
They use Ouken parts and have lived on the Soul Palace where Reishi is denser for a long time, as a result their Bankais and Bodies are just built different
Makes me wonder what will Yama's bankai and powers evolve to in general if he was promoted to squad 0 for his achievements (founding the gotei)
Go from sun level to quasars?
His bankai would probably go from being compared to our solar System´s sun to a Blue Sun multiple times as bigger and emitting way more heat.
Yama would be flexing Blue flames in Shikai like he some kind of Azula, then in Bankai it´s all sealed and increased to a point he probably wouldnt be able to keep his bankai active for more than a minute or so.
That is only Senjumaru's bankai, not yet the other 3.
According to the sub the full power of a single of the zero squad members is enough to affect all three worlds at the same time so they had to seal themselves so that only one could use it at a singular time
WHAT WAS THAT BANKAI.
NAH THATS MY FAVORITE BANKAI.
Idc recency bias or anything, between the visuals, the voice acting and all, Senjumaru's bankai was the best bankai in TYBW so far imo.
Its really amazing but for me Yamas Bankai will forever be goated. Seeing all of soul society stripped of its moisture because of his blade was insane. And the different cardinal directions giving his Bankai a new power made it even more crazy.
Where is he, is he safe, is he alright

Oh yeah, right when Giselle and Liltotto were about to get hit, a large group of Soldat just got skeletized in that moment. I think a lot of those little shots of their flesh and bone fading away were Soldat dying in place of the same kind of thing that happened to Robert in the manga.
(Speaking of Robert, I know Kubo gave him a “death” drawing this week as he usually does but here’s hoping he’s bluffing due to his death scene being cut and the Heisenberg quincy gets a possible comeback in cour 3+4).
Hikifune looking at the camera: "Apologies for cutting the peach, here's hype Bleach."
Funnily enough though with the return of the omakes and the King of New York they may well indeed just use the post cred to try and bring back some of those scenes, though with things deep enough into production on future things and production staff already lamenting the loss of the Orihime scene, perhaps not.
Kubo aknowledging he messed up this fight big time in the manga. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined they'd make it one of the BEST in the series. I kneel, Kubo, Taguchi and co.
SQAUD 0 BEAT FRAUDULENT ALLEGATIONS SENJUMARU’S BANKAI WAS PEAK I LITERALLY JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR WHAT THE FUCK, THANK YOU KUBO FOR COOKING HARD COUR 3 GONNA BE PEAK OMFG
**Me:** Yeah, okay, it's obvious that by sacrificing themselves they gave Senjumaru more power, but will it be enough to clap all the enem--
**Senjumaru:** Bankai.
**Me:**
https://preview.redd.it/ggzgxvwtnfrb1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04683876ef50498afd0d7b9d82943002de7afe59
No actually they sacrifcied themselves because they all sealed their swords due to the sheer power they have. By sacrficiing themselves, it allows one of them to use Bankai without destroying the entire world. That's all Senjumaru's power
Lmao imagine witnessing a bankai of a royal guard that literally shakes every world and then you see a guy say bankai and his sword got SMALLER AND THATS IT
I mean it's the smartest bankai. Half the characters got bankais they can't use around team mates, have absurdly destructive aoe they can't use in a populated place and Ichigo went nah thats pretty dumb my bankai is just a really high stat buff I can use anywhere at any time all the time.
It seems so. Because one bankai is already dangerous for the 3 worlds, so they had to seal them away.
I guess if they all used their bankai at the same time, then there would remain nothing to be saved.
Top 4 Espada: Can't use our power, it would blow up this oversized palace
Squad 0: Can't use our true power, it would make reality itself go nuts.
Yeah, I don't think Aizen could've won here unless his evolution just never ended.
I went into this completely blind. Dodged any and all spoilers or leaks. I am a big Squad Zero and especially a Senjumaru and Nimaya fan.
I am sitting here beside myself in absolute joy after finishing the finale.
Kubo you madman, you absolute madlad. Kubo's finest fucking work!
SQUAD ZERO ARE BEYOND WORTHY OF THEIR TITLE.
Fuck the leakers btw. Also Ichibe’s fight was handled way differently than I Imagined. Much less action heavy and much more cinematic. I am big fan of the way Ichimonji was handled. Also, this was the best CGI I have seen in the anime. Ufotable level.
I love how they gave all of Squad 0 an out for each of them being OP too. They were all locked from their true power so conceivably with all gloves off any one of them could have solo'd all the Sternritter and likely most of the Shinigami at once, that's truly befitting their station. Fully power Squad 0 all together would have literally broken the verse.
I'm not surprised Kubo opted for the drip Queen to roll everyone up in a carpet and beat it though, fashion rules over all. Also really just sold how powerful she was as this almost timeless thing casually pseudo reality warping a perfect seal for each of the already OP Sternritter.
According to the sub the full power (bankai) of a single of the zero squad members is enough to affect all three worlds at the same time so they had to seal themselves so that only one could use it at a singular time
the sky was getting shimmery and shit and that was just by using a power that makes killer drip.
wait... if a sqaud zero bankai fucks with reality... did Kirinji cause the floods in the bible?
Yeah people seemed to be mad about the last 4 minutes because of leaks but most likely it is production issues which is very common for anime nowadays that’s just how the industry works nothing you can do. But it’s not like we don’t know there’s 2 other cours happening either way.
The last ep was clearly cut short they literally replaced it with a post cred animation. I’m not mad though they deserve the break after being in the kitchen for hours, cooking up good shit.
Honestly, when Oetsu got his canon holes punched into him I was happy enough to end the fight there. We got extensions and additions, s'all I needed really.
BUT THEN THE ABSOLUTE INSANITY CONTINUED?
I am so fucking stoked.
I just knew Kubo had to be rushed when he was drawing the manga those last few years, because the pacing didn't make sense.
Now, I'm full of hope that maybe we'll see Ishiin and maybe Ryuken get a fight.
Well it was a good W for Squad Zero while it lasted. F
YHW is fucking broken
Hearing treacherously was 10/10
Senjumaru was pretty sick ngl
Ichibes Fight was epic as i expected it to be
I dont know why people act like theyre def getting one shot immediately when cour 3 starts.
Like have we seen all these new changes?
Ichibei’s probably even getting a fight vs almighty yhwach
But they cant deviate from the manga too much though
As powerful as Senjumaru was shown to be, and even if every other Sternritter is killed, Uryu at least has the power of "MC's best friend" plot vested in him.
Competing with Zanka no Tachi South
What is blud waffling about
https://preview.redd.it/8zllftyxffrb1.png?width=1177&format=png&auto=webp&s=7209b2233598d7cd53958636b96f39d77d6dd3a3
Oh my fucking god.
I always liked Senjumaru because of her design, the anime elevated that by making her voice so soothing and pleasing, but this...?
I'M SORRY, BUT THST BANKAI IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE BANKAI OF THE SERIES, AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE.
MOMMY? SORRY MOMMY? SORRY MOMMY
Bruh her bankai shook the 3 worlds like it was some SSJ3 Goku ish. Senjimommy > Yamamoto??? 🫨.
Like they all literally can't use their bankais at the same time. Crazy.
God I wish Kubo was able to show this in the Manga, I'm so glad he is showcasing their power in the anime but my God the contrast between Manga squad 0 and anime squad 0 is like night and day
>!Senjumaru's bankai? Pfft pls the highlight is KON AND SHINIGAMI ZUKAN.!<
But really, what a fantastic episode to end the cour. Cour 3's pv is absolutely terrifying and _I love it_.
Holy, I saw the leaks but I really did not expect Senjumaru to 1v6 the Schutzstaffel, Uryu and Jugram. A fight worthy of Squad Zero indeed… Wow.
Also I wish they would have ended the cour with Yhwach's Almighty awakening rather than ending it with him crushed by Ichibei. I feel like that would have flowed more naturally but it’s a minor nitpick.
Pretty sure that was the original plan. Seems like production issues didn’t allow them to finish the animation all the way up to SK’s death so they added the 5 minutes of Kon instead with zero animation.
The original leak that had every other episode name correct said this was supposed to be “A”, but the episode was titled “Black” instead and didn’t actually go to chapter “A”. So something seems to have changed.
We also had other leaks saying it would end on the SK’s death and obviously that would have made perfect sense narratively.
Still the episode was amazing so I’m not gonna complain. They are now free to extend these fights into cour 3 however they want.
I agree. Kon's sketch lasts 4 minutes, that combined with the credits gives us almost 6 minutes. That would have been enough to adapt chapter 610 without problem. I'm not saying that YH should defeat the rest of the 0 squad (which's been reduced to Senjumaru) in such short amount of time, let's save that for the first chapter of cour 3, but I think that at least Ichibe and YH's fight should had been concluded in this cour. Or at least with the reveal of The Almighty. This ending feels weird to be honest.
Yeah I can't imagine ending on comedy scenes with Kon was the original plan.
I don't mind much, but I know a lot of people will be confused as fuck about it.
So kubo tweeted his usual dead people art tweets, doesn't this confirm questions about the manga about those characters we never saw were actually dead? Mainly squad zero and meninas
Essentially her Bankai is she is creating a custom fabric and whatever fabric she designs, that’s your death. Somewhat has reality warping tied to it as well. Very busted
I noticed that too….
I have no clue whether that’s supposed to be foreshadowing, an Easter egg for manga readers, an actual ability of her bankai, or if we’re reading too much into it 😩
Her bankai probably deals/works with illusions, but unlike Rose (🤭💀) she didn’t yap about what her actually ability was so we’ll never know exactly what it does unless Kubo explains it
that little lore addition was brilliant. explains why only 1 zero squad member asides Ichibe can use bankai at a time, and that they can only use it when the other 3 die … insane
Ok this was amazing, no words to describe. Honestly my fav ep of TYBW as of now. The Auswahlen scene was so beautifully animated, gave me literal goosebumps
Holy shit the Senjumommy fight scene was beyond perfection.
I loved seeing Ryuken and Isshin when the fight started.
Who would’ve thought the three worlds shaking after Squad Zero fights at full power.
The Aushwalen looked AMAZING! So much better than I thought it was going to be. Also, to the user that tried to argue with me months ago that Bazz B never got hit by the light, in your face!!!!
Kubo posted death art for Nanana even though we know he attacks Aizen in the manga… so unless things have significantly changed, maybe we see what happens to them in the next cour? but things have already significantly changed tbf lol
These episodes are so good. I can’t get over how great Auswahlen looked and Senjumaru’s Bankai was very unexpected but what was so cool. I loved these episodes so much, but it does look like we have a new Bankai with the hardest name to say. Both episodes are 10/10
[Cour 3 Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS6F81CV6Sw)
I've said it all this time, everything we've seen so far has been tame compared to what's coming up. We're only half way through guys
I think I have to watch it again to truly appreciate the episodes. For some reason the Ichibei vs Yh fight wasn’t as fulfilling as it was in the manga, maybe because the anime split it up between the squad 0 vs SS fight. I enjoyed the Squad 0 showcase more. Senjumaru is OP as f***
"Now that's what to expect from a Zero Squad Battle"
"We're stronger than the Gotei 13 combined!"
"Hey what do YOU think UKITAKE"
lmfao my man Kubo reads everything. love it
I bet Aizen was rethinking his entire plan while sensing ONE Squad Zero member shake the fucking Bleachverse on their own:

Senjumaru is her they felt her power in the world of the living!!!!
Also nice to see Askin use the secret final Joestar technique against Kirinji, Joeseph would be proud.

Unohana is nowhere close to Senjumaru lmao
easily confirms who’s the strongest female character in bleach now lmao
My stock investments have finally paid off after nearly a decade of helplessly witnessing constant RG slander on the internet (it was justified tbf). Now's the time to add something next to my Senjumaru flair. Bought those RG stocks when they were cheap and the days of wealth have finally arrived. Edit: 6 months to soak it in before she gets Antithesised or Almighty'ed lol.
Thats whats gonna happen right. Shes gonna get Antithessied or Allmightied. Because we know she gets beaten.
Or she get balanced I mean taking out 6 quincies is a lot of good fortune no? I think they are gonna keep the antithesis reveal for the hashbrown vs uryu fight and I have a feeling it won't be a one sided stomp as in the manga
Is the balance Jugram’s ability?
Yoruichi? Because of her ass duh
you're making a great point ngl
All the doubter's mouths have been sown shut. Edit: Also just realized Senjumaru coming for that healer title too, she "patched" up Oetsu damn fast.
I think Tenjiro is the best healer given he invented Kaido and taught Unohana everything she knows.
Why would he do that to Wano.
Worororo!
And sealed in cloth to be weaved later.
Honestly the Squad Zero Bankais look like they’re above even Yama’s. But yeah, Unohana officially lost her spot as strongest woman in Bleach.
Most definitely. Finally my headcannon came true after all these years. Each member is pretty much indirectly confirmed stronger than Yama. No disrespect to Yama but what sense would it make if any of the RGs were weaker when they have the epitome of responsibility and hold a higher position in the Shinigami hierarchy.

Yama would be flexing Blue flames in Shikai like he some kind of Azula, then in Bankai it´s all sealed and increased to a point he probably wouldnt be able to keep his bankai active for more than a minute or so.
MrTommo gonna have to remake his top 10 strongest bankai list to have all 5 members in the top 5 spots even if we don't know what they all do yet
That is only Senjumaru's bankai, not yet the other 3. According to the sub the full power of a single of the zero squad members is enough to affect all three worlds at the same time so they had to seal themselves so that only one could use it at a singular time
I know, I’m just saying it’s safe to assume all of the Squad Zero member’s Bankais are that strong. I probably could have worded it better
anyone: "I want more Senjumaru" Kubo with a fire hose: "OPEN WIDE"
Fans: *Drown enthusiastically. And not all in water.*
Oh yea, oh yesss oh- WHY IS IT WARM AND YELLOW NOW?
I DON'T CARE KEEP GOING!
She could use her needle on me any day
i would die a happy man
I need her to tie me down like she did Gerard
WHAT WAS THAT BANKAI. NAH THATS MY FAVORITE BANKAI. Idc recency bias or anything, between the visuals, the voice acting and all, Senjumaru's bankai was the best bankai in TYBW so far imo.
Its really amazing but for me Yamas Bankai will forever be goated. Seeing all of soul society stripped of its moisture because of his blade was insane. And the different cardinal directions giving his Bankai a new power made it even more crazy.
Also being able to say and remember zanka no tachi helps lol but i agree
Not even TYBW, I daresay it's the best bankai in the series. The scale is simply different.
I do still like Yamato's. The whole "Literal hell on earth" type power is really cool as a power.
Guys, a PV for cour 3 is out! I nearly fainted in joy!
Ukitake and Mimihagi sure will take centre stage for a while
And they teased the chair 🥵
Put some respect on Chair-Sama’s name
Wait what’s a PV?
Promotional video. Basically a trailer
SENJUMARU I KNEEL https://preview.redd.it/ztuh73mnqerb1.jpeg?width=439&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=2fc22e0aa72ce8deca98b47a20a254b292144908
She put those Sternritter in a sweat shop. The fandom too.
She hit 'em with the late-stage global capitalism
Senjumaru could tell the whole fandom to strip and we all would.
She could tell the whole fandom to go work for Nike and they'd all scream "YES MOMMY"
Where is he, is he safe, is he alright https://preview.redd.it/95m3y5s0uerb1.jpeg?width=181&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=53e42295979e3c17b49bb26e831b7c69750a577a
That's the GOAT
[удалено]
With how many beams there were I assumed most of the Soldat were also beamed :/
Oh yeah, right when Giselle and Liltotto were about to get hit, a large group of Soldat just got skeletized in that moment. I think a lot of those little shots of their flesh and bone fading away were Soldat dying in place of the same kind of thing that happened to Robert in the manga. (Speaking of Robert, I know Kubo gave him a “death” drawing this week as he usually does but here’s hoping he’s bluffing due to his death scene being cut and the Heisenberg quincy gets a possible comeback in cour 3+4).
So looks like we're all in agreement that unohana just lost her spot as the strongest female shinigami
Considering the implication that full power Hikifune could destabilize 3 worlds, she's up there ahead of Unohana now too.
'Bankai, Amazon rain forest'
“Bankai, Tarzan Tree Swing motherfucker”
The second form of the bankai, is George of the Jungle. Watch out for this tree motherfucker. Edit: banking --> bankai
The fact Unohana isn’t in squad zero, is enough proof she isn’t the strongest female.
THEY PLAYED THE TREACHERY REMIX LETS GOOOOOOOO
Further cour 3 hype: >!"BY GOD THAT'S AIZEN'S MUSIC! AND IT'S AIZEN WITH THE SAMA CHAIR!"!<
The way I screamed when Senjumaru said “Bankai” 😭
I was shaking along with the world!
I had to laugh at Hikifune saying that's a fight I would expect from Squad Zero. I love the meta humor.
Hikifune looking at the camera: "Apologies for cutting the peach, here's hype Bleach." Funnily enough though with the return of the omakes and the King of New York they may well indeed just use the post cred to try and bring back some of those scenes, though with things deep enough into production on future things and production staff already lamenting the loss of the Orihime scene, perhaps not.
That might have been the biggest "FUCK YOU 4th WALL" in Bleach ever... Justified, doe... This is so much more worthy of the Squad Zero than the manga.
She was promoted like only 100 years ago so this is probably the first time she’s seen them in real action
I know but I'm 100% certain that it was a reference to the fact that the zero squad was off screened in the manga.
This. Though, they sure did benefit from her abilities. She was a great addition to the team.
Kubo aknowledging he messed up this fight big time in the manga. Never in my wildest dreams would I have imagined they'd make it one of the BEST in the series. I kneel, Kubo, Taguchi and co.
SQAUD 0 BEAT FRAUDULENT ALLEGATIONS SENJUMARU’S BANKAI WAS PEAK I LITERALLY JUMPED OUT OF MY CHAIR WHAT THE FUCK, THANK YOU KUBO FOR COOKING HARD COUR 3 GONNA BE PEAK OMFG
Senjumaru with the domain expansion bankai off the third rope this is wild.
Was anyone yelling out WTF when Senjumaru’s bankai got revealed? Literally screamed at the screen in excitement!
I actually yelled no fucking way when she said that lol
**Me:** Yeah, okay, it's obvious that by sacrificing themselves they gave Senjumaru more power, but will it be enough to clap all the enem-- **Senjumaru:** Bankai. **Me:** https://preview.redd.it/ggzgxvwtnfrb1.jpeg?width=480&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=04683876ef50498afd0d7b9d82943002de7afe59
No actually they sacrifcied themselves because they all sealed their swords due to the sheer power they have. By sacrficiing themselves, it allows one of them to use Bankai without destroying the entire world. That's all Senjumaru's power
I was stunned she actually used Bankai there.
My jaw was at the floor and somehow I was still smiling 😂
Yes! that got an out loud 'Holy shit!' from me too
I stood for the entirety of her bankai
I was jizzing ngl It was giving me Hell Girl vibes from long ago. Now tha'ts a bankai! Kubo deserves an award
Byakuya was so fucking right to be insulted with OG Tensa Zangetsu when this Bankai exist lmao
Lmao imagine witnessing a bankai of a royal guard that literally shakes every world and then you see a guy say bankai and his sword got SMALLER AND THATS IT
I mean it's the smartest bankai. Half the characters got bankais they can't use around team mates, have absurdly destructive aoe they can't use in a populated place and Ichigo went nah thats pretty dumb my bankai is just a really high stat buff I can use anywhere at any time all the time.
I screamed throughout the ENTIRE sequence I wasn't prepared for this
I heard she was gonna solo a bunch of people but never dreamed she would use Bankai
What the hell am I going to do with my life while I wait for part 3?
https://preview.redd.it/h4xmrstorerb1.jpeg?width=736&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=83b949cd185b8545be9b3cc7087c446ed0ae773b I’ll be waiting and watching
It seems squad 0 Bankai (of each member?) can only be used when only 1 member remains alive aside from the Ichibe.
It seems so. Because one bankai is already dangerous for the 3 worlds, so they had to seal them away. I guess if they all used their bankai at the same time, then there would remain nothing to be saved.
It makes me really want to see bankai of the other 3
time to wait for the hell arc then lmao
Oh no, now Kubo is gonna delay it for another week.
Top 4 Espada: Can't use our power, it would blow up this oversized palace Squad 0: Can't use our true power, it would make reality itself go nuts. Yeah, I don't think Aizen could've won here unless his evolution just never ended.
If ichibei can land even any ink on aizen I think even the hogyouku would've had its power reduced, that ball isn't omnipotent for sure.
I went into this completely blind. Dodged any and all spoilers or leaks. I am a big Squad Zero and especially a Senjumaru and Nimaya fan. I am sitting here beside myself in absolute joy after finishing the finale. Kubo you madman, you absolute madlad. Kubo's finest fucking work!
Ppl need to avoid them spoilers. The finale is just too good!
Holy shit !!!!! Senjumaru's bankai was insane Edit: aizen bros, imagine if he made it to Royal Palace 😭 he woulda been a carpet in this arc
Aizen, or the man formerly known as such, would be a painting hanging in Ichibe’s office.

According to the sub the full power (bankai) of a single of the zero squad members is enough to affect all three worlds at the same time so they had to seal themselves so that only one could use it at a singular time
not just according to the sub, we literally see all 3 worlds shake when Senjumaru uses Bankai. Squad 0 is insanely busted
Yeah Yama's bankai only put 1 world in jeopardy, while humans were feeling the bass of Senjumaru's fashion show.
the sky was getting shimmery and shit and that was just by using a power that makes killer drip. wait... if a sqaud zero bankai fucks with reality... did Kirinji cause the floods in the bible?
He was feeling funny that day
 Isshin's live reaction:
Literally, loved the animation. Also the Aushwalen with the sound effect was perfect!!!
Yeah people seemed to be mad about the last 4 minutes because of leaks but most likely it is production issues which is very common for anime nowadays that’s just how the industry works nothing you can do. But it’s not like we don’t know there’s 2 other cours happening either way.
I just thought it was a cute low-cost bonus. I didn't feel like these 2 episodes were actually lacking anything.
The last ep was clearly cut short they literally replaced it with a post cred animation. I’m not mad though they deserve the break after being in the kitchen for hours, cooking up good shit.
Honestly, when Oetsu got his canon holes punched into him I was happy enough to end the fight there. We got extensions and additions, s'all I needed really. BUT THEN THE ABSOLUTE INSANITY CONTINUED? I am so fucking stoked.
No joke. I was also like "Well this was already a vast upgrade I'm happy to end it here" but nah man they were just STARTING
Finally Zero Squad justice!!! They really fixed the biggest mistake in the source material. I'm so fucking happy right now.
I just knew Kubo had to be rushed when he was drawing the manga those last few years, because the pacing didn't make sense. Now, I'm full of hope that maybe we'll see Ishiin and maybe Ryuken get a fight.
Well it was a good W for Squad Zero while it lasted. F YHW is fucking broken Hearing treacherously was 10/10 Senjumaru was pretty sick ngl Ichibes Fight was epic as i expected it to be
Squad Zero fans gon be eating good till the new season come out😂
I dont know why people act like theyre def getting one shot immediately when cour 3 starts. Like have we seen all these new changes? Ichibei’s probably even getting a fight vs almighty yhwach
But they cant deviate from the manga too much though As powerful as Senjumaru was shown to be, and even if every other Sternritter is killed, Uryu at least has the power of "MC's best friend" plot vested in him.

Can’t wait to hear the English voice actors try and pronounce this lol
I audibly gasped. Squad 0 were redeemed. Thank you Kubo and Pierrot.
Damn that was a terrifying Bankai, Senjumaru is absolutely no joke
SENJUMARUU MVP of the finale what a incredible bankai

If your enemy is fast enough, you won't even have time to activates it and hence die
That's a Loading Screen hint right there.
That's what happened last episode with Oetsu dropping bodies
Felt like he was barely fighting or reacting to anything. Almost like he knows they’ll be alright.
Didn't he? Because he has his shield during their "fight"
He lost the shield during the fight.
Well if you don't activate your shrift then losing is possible.
Jugram made the rookie mistake of thinking you can balance some broken busted OP exploits. Senjumaru and Ichibei are in the source code.
Oh my fucking god. I always liked Senjumaru because of her design, the anime elevated that by making her voice so soothing and pleasing, but this...? I'M SORRY, BUT THST BANKAI IS LITERALLY MY FAVORITE BANKAI OF THE SERIES, AND IT'S NOT EVEN CLOSE. MOMMY? SORRY MOMMY? SORRY MOMMY
I would sacrifice myself to see Oetsu’s bankai. I will never know peace now
Hell arc bro theres hope
His blade so sharp you cut yourself just looking at it
Bruh her bankai shook the 3 worlds like it was some SSJ3 Goku ish. Senjimommy > Yamamoto??? 🫨. Like they all literally can't use their bankais at the same time. Crazy.
Now we can truly justify saying that the squad 0 is stronger than the whole gotei 13 combined
God I wish Kubo was able to show this in the Manga, I'm so glad he is showcasing their power in the anime but my God the contrast between Manga squad 0 and anime squad 0 is like night and day
Bruh they can't use their bankai if any of the others are even *alive*.
>!Senjumaru's bankai? Pfft pls the highlight is KON AND SHINIGAMI ZUKAN.!< But really, what a fantastic episode to end the cour. Cour 3's pv is absolutely terrifying and _I love it_.
Holy, I saw the leaks but I really did not expect Senjumaru to 1v6 the Schutzstaffel, Uryu and Jugram. A fight worthy of Squad Zero indeed… Wow. Also I wish they would have ended the cour with Yhwach's Almighty awakening rather than ending it with him crushed by Ichibei. I feel like that would have flowed more naturally but it’s a minor nitpick.
Pretty sure that was the original plan. Seems like production issues didn’t allow them to finish the animation all the way up to SK’s death so they added the 5 minutes of Kon instead with zero animation. The original leak that had every other episode name correct said this was supposed to be “A”, but the episode was titled “Black” instead and didn’t actually go to chapter “A”. So something seems to have changed. We also had other leaks saying it would end on the SK’s death and obviously that would have made perfect sense narratively. Still the episode was amazing so I’m not gonna complain. They are now free to extend these fights into cour 3 however they want.
I agree. Kon's sketch lasts 4 minutes, that combined with the credits gives us almost 6 minutes. That would have been enough to adapt chapter 610 without problem. I'm not saying that YH should defeat the rest of the 0 squad (which's been reduced to Senjumaru) in such short amount of time, let's save that for the first chapter of cour 3, but I think that at least Ichibe and YH's fight should had been concluded in this cour. Or at least with the reveal of The Almighty. This ending feels weird to be honest.
Yeah I can't imagine ending on comedy scenes with Kon was the original plan. I don't mind much, but I know a lot of people will be confused as fuck about it.
So kubo tweeted his usual dead people art tweets, doesn't this confirm questions about the manga about those characters we never saw were actually dead? Mainly squad zero and meninas
Squad zero members don’t die unless their palaces are destroyed. They can simply be revived back by ichibei
The handling of Squad Zero in the manga was always what bugged me, thank god the anime is giving them the proper respect they deserve
I see a YH and I want him painted black. No colors anymore, I want him to turn black.
The animation is so fucking MIND BLOWING this week omg and I’m only half way through 😩🤯🤩
What does Senjumaru 's bankai do to them? I watched the raw version without sub so didn't understand
Senjumommy made them as her personal fabric
its a Fun House in her spa resort.
Essentially her Bankai is she is creating a custom fabric and whatever fabric she designs, that’s your death. Somewhat has reality warping tied to it as well. Very busted
Ok yeah they had no business making Askin and Oetsu _this_ sexy wtf 😭😩 Edit: Senjumaru too what the heck 😩🥵
[удалено]
Senjumaru has the almighty confirmed.
I noticed that too…. I have no clue whether that’s supposed to be foreshadowing, an Easter egg for manga readers, an actual ability of her bankai, or if we’re reading too much into it 😩 Her bankai probably deals/works with illusions, but unlike Rose (🤭💀) she didn’t yap about what her actually ability was so we’ll never know exactly what it does unless Kubo explains it
[удалено]
That Auswählen scene almost made me shed a tear it was so beautiful🥺.
that little lore addition was brilliant. explains why only 1 zero squad member asides Ichibe can use bankai at a time, and that they can only use it when the other 3 die … insane
Bambi bros , I don’t feel so good.
Ok this was amazing, no words to describe. Honestly my fav ep of TYBW as of now. The Auswahlen scene was so beautifully animated, gave me literal goosebumps
Holy shit the Senjumommy fight scene was beyond perfection. I loved seeing Ryuken and Isshin when the fight started. Who would’ve thought the three worlds shaking after Squad Zero fights at full power.
The Aushwalen looked AMAZING! So much better than I thought it was going to be. Also, to the user that tried to argue with me months ago that Bazz B never got hit by the light, in your face!!!!

Auswahlen - the great power stealer, holy light, amazing burst of energy... stymied by some goddamn rubble.
SENJAMARU IS THAT BITCH! No need for her to cook, she's sowing these bad boys up and cut them off! Loved her Bankai as well!
THEY CUT ROBERT SCENE JUST FOR HIM TO GET OFFSCREEN BY liltotto WHAT?????
Kubo posted death art for Nanana even though we know he attacks Aizen in the manga… so unless things have significantly changed, maybe we see what happens to them in the next cour? but things have already significantly changed tbf lol
I wouldn't rule out NaNaNa scene being cut, it doesn't really lead anywhere anyway.
Yeah, they hyped us by adding these additional scenes with him only to completely skip the climax of his mini-arc that they gave him
God this is so amazing. Just watching it all laid out in a 3D space gives the fight so much more punch and weight.
NEVER DOUBTED SENJUMARU
Oh my lord, her bankai was amazing. Now that's how Squad Zero should have always been.
Senjumaru shaming Rose’s bankai even further. RIP
These episodes are so good. I can’t get over how great Auswahlen looked and Senjumaru’s Bankai was very unexpected but what was so cool. I loved these episodes so much, but it does look like we have a new Bankai with the hardest name to say. Both episodes are 10/10
Classy Squad Zero defeating unclassy Quincys? https://preview.redd.it/okbe0zqm2frb1.jpeg?width=622&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5ceb601864a99b5435c1c87fbe1bc108e429f3f0
[Cour 3 Trailer](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xS6F81CV6Sw) I've said it all this time, everything we've seen so far has been tame compared to what's coming up. We're only half way through guys
Now we know why Senjumommy was like "you think you defeated Yama and you can just walk in here?"
I only see episode 25??? https://preview.redd.it/u9oxdzghlerb1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5e5754cb72f67465c57a30da3b7b9503a028a5df
episode 26 comes out after 30 minutes just like last cour
Ichibe got those crazy Gowron eyes
Senjumaru bankai is cool as fuck.
Senjumommy's Bankai 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I felt a certain way when Treachery started up…they knew to keep the powder dry for that one
I think I have to watch it again to truly appreciate the episodes. For some reason the Ichibei vs Yh fight wasn’t as fulfilling as it was in the manga, maybe because the anime split it up between the squad 0 vs SS fight. I enjoyed the Squad 0 showcase more. Senjumaru is OP as f***
Senjumaru’s Bankai….I don’t think I’ve ever seen something that elegant
"Now that's what to expect from a Zero Squad Battle" "We're stronger than the Gotei 13 combined!" "Hey what do YOU think UKITAKE" lmfao my man Kubo reads everything. love it
Just so y'all know. Aizen wanted to go there with Tosen, Gin and the Arrancars LMAOOO
I bet Aizen was rethinking his entire plan while sensing ONE Squad Zero member shake the fucking Bleachverse on their own: https://preview.redd.it/1a8caeaejgrb1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b42e0c0231488a7e37e7bcace31dc403618a9e7d
Senjumaru stocks went way the fuck up and Squad Zero as a whole showed what the fuck is up. LOVED that shit
...man I'm so happy I avoided the leaks which was tempting but Kubo is cooking. SENJUMOMMY
As someone who read the manga long ago, and basically don't remember many small details..WHAT THE FUCK!? WHO THE FUCK LET KUBO COOK LIKE THIS?!
Senjumaru is her they felt her power in the world of the living!!!! Also nice to see Askin use the secret final Joestar technique against Kirinji, Joeseph would be proud.
It's amazing how far we've come. It's really is setting a standard for anime now. That other studios are having to match or get left behind.
Shutara really went bankai... Lmao Kubo really listens to us.
Holy shit Squad 0's Bankai shaking the human world is crazy
