    And, season's over. Mid-fight too. That's annoying.

    I was wondering when Squad 0 was gonna get to Bankais. Looks like we won't see 3 of them though.

    dead but not dead because their king rules over death ?

    All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening. And then: Golf.

    Watched Part 3 episode 1. Everyone's powerset just being total nonsense and "lol your shit did nothing" "no actually YOUR shit did nothing" is quintessential Bleach.

    I don't even know what their powers do anymore.

    It might be more obvious if the translation actually translated power names.

    I laugh every time someone is like, "Bankai...[20 syllables of Japanese]."

    The death of fan translation for anime has me missing TL notes that might have explained what the fuck Senjumaru or Ichibe's Bankai names mean, but what they do is pretty obvious. Senjumaru's is like a domain expansion from Jujutsu Kaisen where she traps you in some kind of themed murder, and Ichibe's just lets you directly overwrite someone's identity and destroy them on a conceptual level.

    The color black is the "ink" he works with. I'm sure it comes off a lot more poetically in Japanese since he has a calligraphy/nomenclature thing going on. It also makes Ichibe come off as a rather Satanic figure since he's the king of darkness and threatens to send Ywach to hell.

    Episode 3:

    They kept Ukitake's totally nonsensical backstory where he has a childhood illness in the afterlife. Thank you Kubo for just not giving a shit at all about your comic's setting.

    I mean, why are children even being BORN in the afterlife?

    Is Soul Society even actually an afterlife? You never hear about anyone from Soul Society talk about when they were still alive.

    I think it's just a reincarnation thing. Humans die then their souls go to soul society where they are reborn as new people.

    Yeah this is what I mean. Kubo pretty much writes Soul Society as an alternate dimension that the Gotei 13 live in, rather than an afterlife.

    The meat of this episode is turning the fight between Ichigo and Ishida into a big splashy set piece. In the comic they barely fight at all.

    Isn't Ishida's Vollstandig just the same ability as that one Shinigami he made fun of in the original Soul Society arc? It's also just Byakuya's Bankai. Furthermore the Yoriuchi scene where she threatens Yhwach with the 2-hit kill weapon is just a direct lift of an identical scene between Soifon and Aizen.

    I can't remember the specifics of that 20-year-old arc.

    I did think that though. It's just little arrowheads instead of petals.
