Well everyone, it's here. Thank you again for your constant support, for tuning into each reaction and review, I really do appreciate it. So, what did you think of the true battle between Squad Zero and the Schutzstaffel and of course, what about Senjumaru's Bankai? Let me know your thoughts!

[urameshitrev]

Hearing Oetsu's speech on how "The Soul King's Royal Guard won't lose to a bunch of Quincies" leading to Senjumaru's insane bankai was an amazing moment.

[codienemadness]

I’ve been waiting years from no kids to three kids being 31 now glad I’ve been able to see these great episodes we’ve been getting

[kahothestoryteller]

When Nimaiya screamed out “Get up Squad Zero! Everybody!”

I felt that

[Grayson-Winchester]

This is where Kubo originally wanted to go with Squad 0. Now I can't help but wonder what if the other 3 sacrifice themselves so Nimaya, Hikufune and Kirinji can use Bankai. It would also shake the worlds.

Maybe this is another reason why the gates of hell opened. Enormous reitsu from outside and inside shok the balance.

[jrgenvellesen]

I really like how Senjumaru's Bankai manifested fire as the thing that seals Jugram's fate. It was fire that killed his uncle and thus tied him to both Bazz and Yhwach.
And, it was him deciding to kill Bazz, who emboides fire, that ended up sealing his fate as being killed by Yhwach as a sacrificial pawn. Which it is implied that he saw when he had the Almighty.
Really adds to the tragic nature of Jugram that his whole life he was tormented by his guilt of abandoning his friend, symbolised by him being consumed by fire, much like how Bazz's family was.

[noahlucas]

As a bit of an aside, it makes sense that senjumaru would be able to heal the other members of squad 0 she can weave clothes out of oken, the same material that their bodies were turned into.

[manuelacosta]

Senjumaru was a major surprise while the battle as a whole was an epic closing to this cour. It's ironic that Soul Society's strongest warriors have to keep their power restricted lest they cause the same destabilization they are there to stop. It's the opposite for everyone else but to be expected.

[thesecondhat]

Actually kinda insane how much the anime translates the source material and makes it better, the only thing missing is giving us the Sacred Letters of the BG9 and Robert. The first cour gave us the original Gotei, the second cour gave us extended fights alongside the first diplomatic meeting between the Quincy and the Shinigami. I hope the third cour manage to add, twist and edit for the betterment of the product to the same degree.

[kurols]

Shatatsu karagara Shigaraminotsuji. Heard it once but it's already engraved in my brain as one of the best bankai reveals

[daerieungaming]

This is my interpretation of Senjumaru's Bankai:
FIRST, (1) It shows what specific action/event they did in the past and will do in the future that will lead to their eventual death/demise. And then, (2) it foresees how each Schutzstaffel best effectively dies or is weakened in the future. A complete foresight of each Schutzstaffel's fates based on the best possible outcomes in the future and based from their past and future actions (Something that Ywhach, despite his Almighty's ability to foresee every possible Future Outcome, is unable to change which will lead him to use Auswählen anyway.)
SECOND, her Bankai predetermines the best time/event for each Schutzstaffel's death/demise, something that seems to assign the events in the best possible time along with the best match-ups to come against the Captain-level Shinigamis they're going to face. (Still going with the idea as Senjumaru being the Great Weaver, weaving everyone's fates in her favor.)
AND LASTLY, Senjumaru ensures that their fates are sealed and that whatever foresight generated and 'tapestries'/'hanks' she already weaved cannot be reversed or changed in the future. (This I think fixes the reason why Overpowered Schutzstaffels will lose to Captain Rank Shinigamis, even with Ywhach's influence). This also makes sure that when the Schutzstaffel loses in cour 3, it won't seem like it's Plot armor and instead would look like an omnipotent force of ensured Fate as weaved by Senjumaru (sticking to the idea that the Squad Zero is indeed capable of this feat).

So it's just her 1. Designing the fates and pulling the suitable threads to use. 2. Weaving everyone's threads of fates together to her liking. and 3. Her cutting the thread and finalizing the hanks/cloths of interweaved fates.
Which means that even if she won't kill the Schutzstaffel now, doesn't mean she didn't influence the outcome of their future.

In relation to the Cour 3 Trailer with Uryu being her final opponent, (and assuming I guessed Senjumaru's Bankai correctly) it could be that he activates Antithesis to reverse the effects of her Bankai and turn it against her, weaving her most fitting death at the most fitting time while sealing it permanently. This should turn the tides and be a great plot progression as to how Senjumaru/Squad Zero is defeated by Uryu and then, simultaneously during Ichibe's and Ywhach's battle, Ywhach awakens the Almighty and revives the defeated Schutzstaffels. (Yeah call me crazy with all these speculations 😂)

But you know, it's just my interpretation. I'm just excited to watch what will happen to Cour 3. Who knows, she might explain her Bankai too just like the other Captains. 😅

[Okkotsu]

Senjumaru's Bankai was one the illest scenes I've seen the whole series. Chills up and down my spine. It was terrifying and gorgeous.

[tekkamanspade]

I like how they brought out the humanity and camaraderie between the 2 groups. They both felt like groups of warriors that had fought alongside each other numerous times.

[rayvonvelez]

This is exactly what we wanted to see with bleach tybw being animated. Thank you kubo, bleach anime staff and everyone involved. I'm excited to see what we get for cour 3. And i can't stop rewatching these last 3 episodes, an amazing finale.

[FgtrLife]

I love that the Zero Division's abilities are less traditional "powers" and more "concepts" given how powerful each of them individually is supposed to be.

Osho has control over names, Senjumaru can work the "fabric" of reality, and it makes me really wonder what the other members of the Royal Guard have up their sleeve.

[tatendamanamike]

I'm glad she got the spotlight she's definitely the coolest of the zero division in my opinion of course

[skeleton]

I'm not sure if this is the case but Senjumaru predicting or just straight up manifesting the demise of Schutzstaffel through her weaving really was the perfect choice. Even if she died she seems to have ensured their fates through her bankai tapestry making the zero division deaths not in vain. Well played.

[rajatsaini]

Kubo sealing the Quincies fates with Senju's Bankai is fucking insane. Just goes to show how rushed and pressured he was back when the manga was running.

My mans took all that turned it on its head.

Greatest anime comeback EVER.

[MrListaTelefonica]

I think the most insane implication about Senjumaru's Bankai is the mention of a Thousand Arms. Does that fucking means that when she uses Bankai she can sew up to a Thousand Looms of Death? Like capturing up to a thousand enemies sounds god like and war ending, and it fits the world shattering power she displays.

[raymondyongho]

Ichibei ran so the rest of the Zero Division could fly. Although I would have preferred if his battle had received more focus, it is clear that the anime decided to highlight the full power of the Zero Division. Given that we already know the result of Ichibei's fight against Yuha and were denied the opportunity to see the complete range of the Zero Division's capabilities, I think that this was a wise choice.
