I really love the detail of the scratches on Ichigo’s feet. It’s like he’s literally dragging his feet to reach the shrine

11:43 I love how Shinji asked her to call her friends because he knows that his Bankai is absolute shit fighting one on one and can make them go all out each other

5:37 I like how they are streamlining some of the lines and adding additional context. Like where Kisuke explained that “Mr Jail” Quincy having that “ugly look” was partly due to his body not being able to absorb Hollow Spirit energy properly (as it was still poisonous to Quincies)

I imagine Ichibei is just sitting and stroking his beard going: “Good, Good”

Shinji is the very definition of “turning the tables”.

The music for Shinjis Bankai was soo good. I like these extra bits for Ichigo

Can we give a minute that the animation quality was spot on this episode. My favorite parts from this episode are shinji banki and the music that plays during this “fight with bambe and then when Hitsugaya gets his banki back and has the ice dragon in the background that was amazing

Shinji’s bankai, the sternritter going into their holy forms and some sexy jazz music? AND SOME ICHIGO SOUL KING TRAINING!? 10/10!

I really hope Kubo give us more story and context of Ukitake’s before he dies and possibly show us his Bankai if thats even possible.

When in shikai shinji even inverted the words like dangggg that shit was trippy af for bambietta. I wish he had gotten a clear win this arc😞

4:45 I just love that Mayuri made a outfit for Nemu too. He says he doesn't care about her,but we know he does(aka the fight against pernida and a special scientist talking to him).

Ik this isn't about the Bleach episode, but I really like the new intro. It looks really chill and gives off a cool vibe! Awesome work man

Us Hisagi fans will take whatever screentime we get😭😭😭

Shinji cleaning house with those Soldat was badass and more so since up until this point his Bankai was only alluded to, with CFYOW only mentioning some ominous implications on a hoard of Hollows. Seeing the average Shinigami being wiped out and survivors huddled in cover drives home what a threat Yhwach's forces are, a reversal from the last war where the Quincies were slaughtered.

14:21 The vortexes here have another symbolism to them. They represent the crest of the Shiba clan, "The Tumbling Currents of the Falling Heavens" that Rukiya mentions during the Soul Society arc when she sees Ganju

I really like the color grading for TYBW. The manga just has the usual rashi blue, but when the holy forms come out they're color coded to match the personalities of the Stern Ritter. Babi's blood red makes a lot of sense for her, not only for her explosions but also because she's blood thirsty too. I wonder who the rest belongs to?

Pls continue that videos man! I read the mangas years ago and it is so interesting to see the differences between manga and anime.

Changes I wanted you to talk about. 1 There is now a shadow over Toshiro after he fall over foreshadowing later events. 2 Mask Fight is an extended fight with a few pages of 559 and 560. 3 Cang Du gets out of the ice and goes Vollständig.

Please keep doing these comparison vids! It’s still so surreal watching TYWB comes to life with the anime adaptation, sometimes I come away with more questions after watching the episode, and I come here and you’ve answered them for me, and even have call-outs to the things I’ve missed!😁🥰tysm. Keep up the good work! 👏

Bleach tybw is one of the best adaptation i have seen

@ 14:20 The Soul King uses the key in the middle to close off Hell. I know this is the answer. The three worlds are the three vortexes around him but the key is used on the middle vortex.

What i've noticed and this is quite interesting, is that Shinji's sword changes its shape even more when he activates his Bankai. At 9:24 and while watching the episode at this exact scene you can quite clearly see the tip of the blade changing to this circular shape similar to how the hilt is when he activates Shikai. Initially i thought that Shinji changed the grip of the sword mid swing and somehow caught the sword by the blade at the end, but if you go a couple of frames forward (when Shinji lets his arm down) you can actually see both the ends of the sword (the tip and the hilt) having the same circular shape. That's really interesting, i wonder what that is all about.

It's impressive how fast You are at these comparisons, btw, these Chibi drawings are so hilarious - forcefuly exhaled from my nose the first time I saw them 😂

Amazing analysis 👍!!!

Nice vid keep the up the hard work ..

Shinji with the cheek clapping OSTs

Shinji this episode be like: "This is your brain. This, is your brain on drugs."

Nice a new vid i will watch it

why didn’t shinji play a bigger role? if he can use cero which is focused hollow reiatsu, which harms the quincies, then why didn’t he use it?

Seeing this animated is a dream come true never thought it would happen with this quality and extra content 😀

I’m glad they slowed the speed down with adapting things from the manga. I’m really hoping they will add more anime original stuff with manga. I’m not sure if I wanted to see Shinji use his bankai during TYBW because that is one of the biggest moments in Can’t Fear Your Own World story where he uses his bankai to totally crush his enemies.

11:13 I think it does improve upon the manga, but... I just find it weird that Giselle is there? Shouldn't she be with Toshiro right now? I mean, the shadow that loomed over Toshiro was supposed to be her, no? Unless the implication is that she did that and came back running with her group, but that doesn't sound right.

Honestly, I feel the Soldat were overwhelming the Lieutenants mostly due to the sudden change in environment, their numbers, and ambush tactics. I think the Lieutenants are superior to single Soldat, but groups of them can coordinate and overwhelm Lieutenants. Also, I'll admit I wasn't impressed upon first impression, but looking back and watching your recap, I now appreciate Episode 16 more. Also, I'm surprised you didn't mention the appearance of thr comms Quincy when the kikaichu were hijacking the machinery of the Wandenreich city. Unless, was that in the manga?

Bro the end where the episode reveal Ichigo’s eyes was the highlight for me, besides Shinji revealing his Bankai. Like I can not even begin to tel you the significance of that scene

You forgot about Hell. There were 4 realms created. The Soul Society, The World of the Living, Hueco Mundo, and Hell. That is why there are 4 whirlpools.

If Reio did have Zanpaktou, it adds the question of whether or not Nimaiya created a zanpaktou for him, or if Reio is the true creator of zanpaktou.

I thought the feather tips were hinting that arrows were used to bring down the soul king. Kinda foreshadowing how the sliver arrow would be created later in the series to stop yhwach.

Isn't Shinji's bankai full name Sokoshima Yokoshima HAPPOFUSAGARI? Like, it's not the name of an ability, it's part of bankai's name itself.

That’s a very nice intro💯

I don't know if you missed it but, the way Hisagi's using his chain Shikai and his words to Mask de masculine , seems like a foreshadowing for his bankai

Looks like we are going to get Cang Du and BG9 volstanding, because we see light coming out of the position they were.

The soul kings dismembered hand holding a sword, could point to him wilingly going with the noble houses plan or even coming with it himself. In the manga, there is no explanation why would he let himself be cut up and both variants seem posible - maybe this is just Kubo giving us the answer.

So BG9 and Chang du were weakened for the "poison"

Not gonna lie, Shinji's Bankai reveal was cool, but really underwhelming. It was just a couple of still images of mooks fighting each other. I guess already knowing what his Bankai is kind of made it not hit as hard. Shinji's Shikai against Bambi was a lot more impactful, even knowing what it does.

This what I'm waiting for

Hope we get to see bg9's holy form and more soifon fights

Maybe it's my imagination, but when Ikkaku got his Shineiyaku pill it looked to me as though Yumichika had his hand upturned as though he was holding something in his palm as well. The addition of the anime-original scenes of Ichigo being prepared by Ichibe for what they intend as a last resort option is a welcome change to the manga content. Not only does it add important details about the world(s) of Bleach , but because it allows Ichigo the opportunity for a heroic act not seen in the manga while simultaneously reducing the amorality of the Zero Squad. I think it will culminate in Ichigo being made aware of the possibility contingency plan, and of his freely choosing to accept that fate if there's no other option.

anybody notice? Shinji lowkey mock and ask Bambietta to call out her friend. i found this is very mischievous to activate his bankai so they will kill each other cus he immediately ask Komamura to go

Honestly i hope the masque demask fight with Ikaku Yumichikia and Hisagi involves us seeing Ikaku's broken bankai to showcase it actually being broken and Hisagi using his in a "god damnit i guess i have to" situation,

I cant wait to see what they do differrnt with Aizen. The final battle is probably going to be something INSANE

If the whirls are representing the 4 worlds,it makes sense for all of them to be the same size Cuz we do know hueco mundo is a world of infinite sand And cutting infinity in 2 or 3 doesn't mean anything because infinity is infinity

That post credit scene is wild

One part of the added fight between Shinji and Bambietta that I think was a bad change was how they show Bambietta try to omni-nuke him with her explosions prior to using her Vollständig. She does it first in base and it fails because Shinji just casually dodges them, but then when she does exactly the same thing in Vollständig he just... gets hit. Like, why did it work the second time but not the first? Clearly Shinji is fast and reactive enough to just dodge, he already did it once but the second time apparently just completely baffled him. At least in the manga, he has the excuse that she probably catches him off-guard because the time that she hits him is the *first* time she omni-nukes him basically outta nowhere, but in the anime she's already tried it and he dodged it easily; so he should've been *specifically* prepared for that exact approach.

There definitely setting up Ichigo or heavily hinting at him becoming the soul king. Not to spoil anything in the future but right now its there.

you forgot to mention that Yhwach is wearing Quincy clothing in the manga rather than his own which shown in the anime

Shinji was MVP in this episode! I also jumped out of my seat when Mask appeared! So so cool 🤩

The fight with Mask, Ikkaku, Yumichika and Hisagi isn't technically anime exclusive. They've just changed the placement of it in the timeline and added to it. Originally, their fight with Mask happened a few hours after Kommamura Vs Bambi. After Koma is turned into a dog, Chapter 559 starts with Hashwalth being called back from his fight with Shunsui and Nanao to return to the Silbern and then there is a time skip of a few hours as night falls. It then cuts to Ikkaku and Yumichika talking about how they think it's night time and they need to be careful of the shadows. In the anime this is replaced by them talking about Ikkaku's Bankai. Hisagi then shows up and the scene proceeds as it does in the anime, until Mask jumps at them from behind. It then cuts to Cang and BG-9's execution scene. After that it cuts back to all three of them defeated by Mask and then a brief fight with Hisagi on his own until Kensei shows up. The anime though puts the beginning of the fight before Koma Vs Bambi and includes loads of scenes of them actually fighting Mask, as well as seeing James for the first time. Because of this I have no idea what they are going to do timeline wise with Ichigo leaving Reio, not to mention Renji and Rukia, because they return back in time for Renji to defeat Mask. Really really interesting!

Vizard not using hollowfication to x2 or x3 their strength is stupid, Shinji speaking out loud what his ability does instead of going for quick sweep and leave the enemy confused, Rose sabotaging him self

I wonder what happens if the flower breaks because using this with much stronger oppenents it might get caught in cross fire

I am not an anime type of guy at all, I always find something within any anime that makes me stop watching (its either the artstyle, story or characters). Bleach is the only anime that kept connected with me, the story was not amazing but the characters and changes over the years really made me stay along for the ride. I cannot wait for every single episode seeing the progression overtime, shinji bankai and even the shikai gave me goospumps, seeing komamura also got me very excited (unfortunately I know what happens due to the manga, but its still nice seeing this within the anime and watching my anime only friends reacting to it for the first time) Can't wait for the next episode!

So I know they probably won't, but if they reveal Hisagi's Bankai, I will probably lose my FREAKING mind.

🔥🔥🔥

It would be fascinating if those visions weren't memories of soul king, but divinations from his future

I wonder why Shinji didn't use his hollow mask and why he was given that black pill even tho he is a visored

Any1 knows the name of the song that was playing? Tried to shazam but due to the talking it couldnt pick it up

All visords should of been in front lines while stuff was getting figured out since there Hollows

they need to release shinjis theme as a whole thing. its so good. also does omeada have a bankai? he got a tablet?

Didn't kubo who's heavily involved in the anime implied the anime will be his full vision for the manga because this time he wasn't being rushed by shonen jump. So if we take that into acount the anime might actually be the more canon version.

Ive been start reading mt big brother's old Bleach manga books what he gave to me. I like more anime BUT manga is so GOOD too there is extra content in Manga. 🔥🔥

This was actually my most favorite episode so far cause of all the added content that was not there in the manga😬😬😬💝💝...I loved being able to see Shinji's bankai. The shadow of Giselle. Komamura's arrival. I would rate it 11 out of 10 if I could. I really hope more exclusive anime content gets added to Cour 2 and particularly for Shinji....He really deserves it. I've always loved his eccentric character and the weird vibe he gives. Thank you for your detailed comparison and analysis brother💝👍🏻

I wonder if the almighty reflecting in ichigos eyes is Kubo hinting in the anime that he might possess the almighty because it always puzzled me how in the light novels the zero squad were going to make ichigo the new soul king despite him not having the almighty because reio and ywhachs powers of the almighty is what the shinigami used to split and stablize the worlds

Shinji explaining his bankai makes his introduction in the series where he was bragging about speaking backwards make more sense

Shinji v bambietta isnt an anime only fight it’s just a bit longer

The true might of Shinji's Sakanade was revealed as it flummoxed Bambietta in her base form. Loved the reality distortion effects. It was completely useless against Aizen's Kyoka Suigetsu but not here.

but cang do, break out from ice prison in anime so he is not defeaet ? by toushiro so he will be defeatetd off screen

Does anyone know the new soundtrack name that was playing when he was going against bambietta

I can’t wait to see itchigos bunki

Not to forget Shinji still got his hollow/vizard power hope he use it

since hisagi got a pill maybe we'll see his bankai too.

I think my favorite moment was when Shinji used not only his bankai against the soldats but also on Bambietta herself.I'll admit it if Shinji had utilized his ability more in the Arrancer arc he would of been that dawg you know.But since Bleach had made its resurrecion from the death I might see more Soul reapers and Quincies show off their awesomeness and badassitry

It would be so cool if we will see ishane as lieutenant of unohana in a flashback 1000 year ago

9:27 and this really bothers me. If the hollows are like poison to the Quincies, then why no Ceros, why no Hollowfication? In Shinjis Place, I'd be spamming these Ceros!

Could we see an Ikkaku moment where he uses Bankai again and when he uses it Kenpachi can feel it’s SP and smile?

One question : Why Shinji needed the Hollow Pill if he has Hollow Reiatsu inside of him already ? It gives his hollow a bigger boost against quincies ? So why is he not in the same category as Ichigo ? They are both Hybrid beeings in my opinion as a mixture of Hollow and Shinigami . Of course Ichigo is also a Fullbringer and a Half-Blood Quincy but what difference does that make between the 2 ?

loved to See the bankai hahaaaa

I think they’re gonna change up how bleach ended jst based off of the post credit scene. Nd i don’t think it’s ichigo tht its checking to see if he’s a candidate to be soul king but his bloodline. I believe if kubo decides to continue the manga ichigos son will become soul king

The enemy of my enemy is my friend.-Shinji

Ichigo having four additional pupils, could it meant he is stronger than the soul king who have 4? Because even Yhwach only have 2, 4 after he absorbed soul king.

He didnt mention all the other flashbacks he was seeing correct…could of sworn it was multiple things he was seeing

TYBW in a nutshell Soul reapers:remember no quinces

I was so pumped to see Shinji's Bankai that I needed to pause and explain to my very confused wife, who has been anime-only.

The thing that's so annoying to me in this story-line is, WHAT HAPPENED TO THE VIZARD??? Where they "cured" or something? Because they would be the perfect people to go against the Quincy as they are already partially hollowfied. Also, why is no one using Kido against them???

Shinji asking Bambietta to bring her friends so he can use bankai on them

Personally I think sth will be up with Hisagi's bankai~ as in he successfully obtained it~ Urahara said the pill will be useful for bankai wielders ~ the pill appeared at Hisagi's spot~~

Why did shinji use one of the hollow pills when he is a vizard makes no sense

i also thought it was insane how powerful the soldat seem to be especially seeing as someone like momo could take down 3 powerful fraccìon with a "single" kido spell

12:52 its an evangelion refrence

isn't the "ornament" in 14:07,the "zampakto" In 15:09 ?
