BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Separation episode 12 & 13 review

It’s double review time for the last episodes of Bleach!

Man, the last two episodes were truly exciting ones with all the action from Zero Squad! I'm glad the animators, director, etc. decided to fully dedicate the two last episodes to Zero Squad. They all have their glorious moments which unfortunately didn't happen in the manga, so I'm glad in the manga they did.

But if anyone was badass, it was Senjumaru! So happy to finally see a badass female taking down multiple baddies in one well swoop! But if we backtrack a bit, it was still awesome to see each Zero Squad member fighting. While they were obviously playing with their Schutzstaffel (Elite/Imperial Guards) opponents (plus with Jugram and Uryuu too), it was still interesting they gave so much room for the Quincies to feel that sense of being at the top.

I think everybody can agree upon the fact Zero Squad had some interesting powers that suited well against their opponents.

It was nice how Kirio proved a stage to their battles, but in the end, also joined into the fighting mix.

Oetsu and Kirinji were both badass and while it looked like a moment Oetsu's game would be over, Kirinji proved himself as a top healer with his abilities. Which was a good thing when going against Askin.

Though the fact when Zero Squad members decided who should go against all the Elite Guards, I couldn't help but snort slightly as they sacrificed themselves to give the full power to one member reminded me of Yhwach stealing all 'non-worthy' Quincies abilities/lives... yet the difference in that was the sole fact the Zero Squad members agreed on that and made it willingly, unlike Yhwach's poor subordinates.

The fact that Yhwach just used all the Quincies below the Royal Palace (at Seireitei) as a stepping stone for him and his Elite Guards to buff it felt bad. Like yes, technically, Yhwach gave them all their powers (as far as I've understood things), but taking those and their lives? Yeah, I think if the Quincies had all known the full details of 'that' deal, they wouldn't have agreed upon it.

The pure rage and disbelief we saw on Liltotto's, Bazz-B's and Giselle's faces summarised quite well what most Quincies probably felt when they had to sacrifice themselves for their majesty.

And all for nothing, as Ichibe turned out to be too powerful toward Yhwach, even when he was at his peak... However, the fact that Ichibe named/made Yhwach a black ant made me chuckle for the future. Because if you didn't know, ants are actually very OP insects, despite the popular belief...

As a side note, Hiyori's comment at the beginning of episode 12 toward Urahara made me wonder why he is still so loyal to Seireitei. I get that it was his home for a long time and Urahara probably understands far better things than most of people, but I think Hiyori's musings were still valid. He would rather sacrifice his best friend (Yoruichi) and Ichigo and company, for the sake of Seireitei and by extension Royal Palace and Soul King. I get that they are middle of a war and sacrifices must be made, but talk about coldness. After all, Hiyori and the rest of Visored from the World of the Living arrived there just a bit late along with Yoruichi's little brother Yushiro, so if they all had gone there and helped...they would have been in much better standing against potential opponents. After all, the group that went there was quite small in numbers...so, why the rush? I get that Ichigo and company are quite powerful, but even so, now that we learned Hiyori and others did come (and were coming) felt like a bad move on Urahara's part. After all, they came there to help.

Not to mention it felt like something in Urahara had changed. I can't quite put my finger on it, but despite the fact he was still his crafty and mysterious self, there was this layer of...hmm, ruthlessness? Something like that. Not sure how to express that, but it feels like Urahara went back to being Omnitsukido's best assassin member who is on a mission and failure isn't acceptable.

Anyway! Senjumaru was truly the MVP of the last episode. I could barely hold back my excitement earlier when she was against Uryuu, because man, she looked sooo beautiful and badass when she made that wagasa (Japanese umbrella) to herself and when she released her Bankai? Talk about a huge and epic one! Her Bankai truly suited her and it was extremely pretty. Not to mention an interesting one. The way she used a cloth to trap her all opponents and defeat those before she sewed them into a cloth? What an interesting way to deal with them. It really made me admire Senjumaru even more.

That ending at the last episode...what was that? xD It really surprised me (and probably many other people) when Kon popped up and showed those few 'deleted' scenes. It was totally random, but fun all the same.

All in all, this cour (season) was a blast and it ended on an excellent high note!

Never gonna get over how the anime made this scene just so,, haunting and elevated. Like I love the manga but I love how the anime has taken these scenes and elevated the themes of death and rebirth with simple shots like this and it’s why even after reading all of the manga I still get excited for the anime because I *know* the anime will not only be a faithful adaptation, but also an artistic masterpiece as it uses the medium to its advantage

BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Separation episode 11 (short) review

What an exciting episode! We finally got to see Zero Squad on action, plus, that little bit of past at the beginning of the episode? It was a very nice addition the animation team added as it didn't happen in the manga. It actually explained very well the stand of current affairs of Soul Society, Hueco Mundo, and World of the Living and the reason why Yhwach started the whole war. However, because of the knowledge I've thanks to manga and somewhat light novels, might play a part in this all as some things that happened at the beginning are foreshadowed events...

However, I must admit I was a bit surprised by how openly Ichibe admitted he more and less ruled things. While yes, he seemed to act like a spoke person of Soul King, that whole scene made me wonder if that is true. Especially when Yhwach stated how his father is at the moment. So, who is the true ruler? The one who guards or the one who is guarded? Not to mention, the fact Yhwach wants to bring peace...I've always found that concept interesting as most in fictional works it means eternal peace. Is that truly a good thing? Not to mention, 'the world was before one before Soul King separated it and installed fear'. Such things always give me massive religious vibes, not to mention wanting to bring 'eternal peace'...

Anyway, moving on~. Senjumaru was so, so, so cool! (Yes, I'm her fangirl.) I really loved how sassy she was against Yhwach and his posse. That brief battle against Nianzol Weizol was quite a wicked one. Not to mention it was nice to see how Senjumaru all but dominated that battle.

However, when Yhwach brought his Schutzstaffel (Elite/Imperial guards) and Lille Barro attacked Senjumaru, that scene made me feel really bad for Senjumaru. Even though it turned out to be an illusion, for a moment it felt very bad. And the whole scene of Pernida Parnkgjas turning Senjumaru's remains into a ball? That made something in my stomach twist and not in a good way. Dx But it was very wicked when Senjumaru revealed her trick which was a combination of effort with Ichibe. Though, considering the future...it felt a bit odd, as while Kirio's Cage of Life seemed quite OP...well, like we saw, it wasn't fully seal-proof. After all, Yhwach got away from there rather easily.

But even so, it was nice almost every Zero Squad member got to show their skills when came to battling. First the two ladies and then Oetsu. I'm sure in the next episode Ichibe will get to show his skills against Yhwach, but I also hope we'll get to see the rest of the Zero Squad going against Jugram and Uryuu. After all, Oetsu brought down quite quickly Yhwach's elite guards...or did he? But yes. I can imagine the last two episodes will be super action-packed!

Not to mention, we'll probably see how Ichigo and company arrive at the scene and maybe go against Yhwach. If not anything, I hope this season won't end up with a too big cliffhanger, or if it does, it'll at least be a thrilling one!

It’s incredibly important to me that the anime decided to include this scene that wasn’t in the manga. In the manga, Maomao does pass out in Jinshi’s lap after saving him from what was obviously an assassination attempt.

HOWEVER, the manga cuts off at this point, keeping strictly in Maomao’s perspective, and cuts straight to when she regains consciousness in bed after being treated for her injuries. The manga doesn’t show how she got back. They SAY how, and she briefly mentions, “wow that must have been embarrassing; he carried me back,” but we don’t SEE it. We don’t get to feel the true impact of what that means. But the anime DID show us, and holy shit.

They SHOW us how taboo this is. They show Jinshi carrying her out of the temple, after a public attempt on his life.

They show us the shock and horror on Lakan’s face as Jinshi silently walks past him. Horror at the state his daughter is in, horror at another man—a man with a status he could never dare to question—staking such a public claim over his child, horror at the fact that he could never have this level of closeness with her (as Maomao would never allow it).

Everyone hides their gazes, as is their custom when someone of his rank passes by, but the air is different this time. Jinshi is furious, he’s terrified, and he could not give a single shit about how inappropriate it looks to these palace officials.

The shot that slowly follows her trail of blood—even though it’s a small detail—that in particular leaves such a intense impression of how poignant this is for him.

Maomao talked about this scene in the manga like it was nothing to her. She did what she set out to do: she saved the person who was targeted by the attack. She didn’t even know the target would be someone she knew. But she has no idea that this happened afterwards as a result of her bravery. To her, it likely wasn’t even an act of bravery at all. She acted on impulse; she did what she knew was the right thing to do.

The anime didn’t need to include this, because the manga didn’t show it. But damn, I’m so glad they did.
