5/10 It was okay, not particularly good and not particularly bad
At least this fight is a little back and forth with the Lieutenant and Kensei portion, the Renji portion was always one-sided so there was only so much they could do with it. It doesn't help that this is the second episode in a row where one of the coolest looking Bankai in the series is replaced with a way worse design.
But hey, Nazi gets incinerated BY A SOUL REAPER and that's always going to be a plus, rather than watching the stupid fuckers killing each other off or being killed by their own dumbass boss.
Yeah the fact that they've done this much of arc so quickly makes it all the more likely that they're going to re-work what's left, since there isn't really enough material for 2 more cours if they're just adapting it straight upOh right @Adamant soul we missed something damn important the episode tosses in a few throwaway lines.
When Yhwach explains that his true goal was the Royal Palace, Shunsui states that he figured their extermination was never the true goal but the Soul King was and Mayuri states the Royal Guards HAD TO HAVE KNOWN this was going to be the case so why did they ALLOW IT.
It basically confirms what the rest of the Anime is going with and showing that yeah, even the high end Soul Reapers know something is truly fishy as hell and they are going to go all in on Ichibei being an absolute piece of shit. The Anime is absolutely going to turn shit around.
NGL I feel like the remix of Number One didn't land for me. I think I'd place this as worse than the one last season and of course worse than the original.8/10
It's funny they give an extended fight scene to Ichigo vs. the Femritters which I'm honestly okay with... but I find it funnier that it just further shows that the Quincies cannot work together for shit under Yhwach's reign... which actually makes a truly hilarious amount of sense(Since again, Yhwach needs death to continue on that means he also should want his soldiers to want to kill each other on a bad day to keep him cognizant).
The Remix of Number One is Chef's Kiss magnificent, it's not above the remix in the return but I would say it's the 2nd best version.
Chad gets as insane gains as Orihime did which just makes it more of a shame he doesn't participate in the Final Battle or fights a Sternritter.
>Ichibei actually met with the Licht Reich before they invaded the Soul Society for a non-aggression pact
>Yhwach knew of what happened with the Soul King for a long ass time with his Almighty but Ichibei fully proved it when negotiations went south
>Yhwach's goal is outright stated by himself in that flashback
>Ichibei somehow had the left arm of the Soul King grafted onto him and used it to seal Yhwach's Almighty
Meaning Ichibei used what we ultimately know as Pernida to permanently seal away Yhwach's Almighty and the nibba is grateful for it because he didn't want to see how badly they butchered his pops
It also showed how slimy Ichibei is as he would have fully allowed Yhwach to rule the World of The Living with no cost
