BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Conflict episode 1 review

After almost a year Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood war anime is back on the air! I would be lying if I wrote I hadn't been expecting it to come last month (September) because the second cour started to appear back then. But it's a good thing the cour 3 finally started!

Despite that, I think the first episode was a bit mid. The sole reason is the fact almost half of the episode was a recap of last cour's two last fights. Don't get me wrong, I still think Senjumaru's fight against the Quincies was epic, and seeing her Bankai was wonderful. Ichibe going against Yhwach was also something to be mesmerized about, but because those fights were so epic...at least I could remember those as clearly as if I had just yesterday finished watching cour 2's last episodes. Even so, while I found it a bit puzzling why there was such a recap, I could somehow understand it. It'll give the animators (hopefully) a budget for other epic scenes yet to come and once the anime finally truly picked itself, it felt just a natural continuation. Even so...it made me question 'what if they had cut out that recap and used that time for something else?'

But moving on. The third cour only kicked on after that recap and just like every manga reader would know, it was this time the quincies turn to win. The manga never showed us how, so seeing how Yhwach and Uryuu brought down both Ichibe and Senjumaru was interesting.

I really liked Uryuu's comeback against Senjumaru. I believe we haven't really seen Uryuu going so strongly against anyone except at the very beginning of the Bleach Mayuri. Which Senjumaru made the comparison. It almost made me laugh when she made that comment. It was like her breaking indirectly the fourth wall!

Yhwach vs. Ichibe was epic. The fact Ichibe broke down to that poem-ish singing middle of the fight to bring a new side of his Bankai (as youngsters these days would call it [talk about Ichibe and Senjumaru slaying things with their witty choice of words]) was epic. The animation was also epic. It felt very unique and refreshing, despite the fact there was some 3D here and there, but the makers still made it work. Too bad, Yhwach had seen that all and claimed his victory just like Uryuu who ended up playing Senjumaru like back with Mayuri, but hopefully this time without as big a cost as with Mayuri. Truly. Uryuu vs. Senjumaru felt like a parallel to Uryuu vs. Mayuri. But with that twist, this time Uryuu was the bad guy -at least from a certain perspective.

I also felt a strong parallel when Ichibe asked Ichigo to stop Yhwach. I don't know, but that parallel felt like a parallel to Kisuke? I can't now remember (it has been quite a long time) if Kisuke ever asked Ichigo to protect Soul Society or sort of, but the way Ichibe talked, his behavior, and the fact 'you don't have to kill the Quincy King (Yhwach) to protect Soul King, just stop him' just gave me massive Kisuke vibes asking things from Ichigo. I know many other shinigami have asked Ichigo to protect Soul Society when they haven't or sort of, but this...just like déja vu. I feel like this episode as a whole had lots of parallels. It was...interesting from that perspective.

Yhwach thrusting his blade to Soul King felt very ominous at the end. That and paired with the next episode's title, we can expect something epic next time!

Plus, the hint of Kyoraku going to see Aizen? I can't wait to see Aizen joining the fryer, since it won't just be your usual social visit Kyoraku will do.

Lastly, the opening of this cour is just epic. I really love the aesthetic of a monochrome setting with hints of color. It capture's viewer's sight of certain things while making the viewer somewhat 'blind' to other things that might occur. The ending made me giggle as the music sounds so upbeat and happy-happy, even though the words aren't that happy-go-lucky nor are the animations. But the beat being like that after things end with an ominous note? Yeah, talk about the contrast between things. In fact, the ending felt like playing with contrasts as Uryuu was on the side of the 'darkness' while Ichigo was on the side of 'light', yet in the end...they felt like just two opposites of the same coin, meeting somewhere in-between. The midnight sun was something that caught my attention when I watched the ending and read the lyrics of the song. It was obviously a figure of speech, but somehow...it felt a significant one. Also, once again, the fact the ending song's name was 'MONOCHROME' while the opening was almost fully monochrome felt like a huge parallel between the two things. In fact, the whole episode felt like it had lots of parallels...

The TYBW really brought back some concerning thoughts about how dark the Gotei 13 was. Having matured and gone back to Bleach with a deeper understanding of the terrors of life, I can’t help but to wonder just how much did the captains and the rest of the soldiers contribute to the First War and the Quincy Genocide. Who would’ve contributed to the first blood war and who would’ve had a hand in the genocide?

How much did the captains and the rest of the Gotei contribute to the First Blood War (1000 years ago) and the Quincy Genocide (200 years ago)? I think it's not so much a question of contribution; it was their war and their genocide--they were at the very center. 

We just met the OG Gotei captains in TYBW, which I think answers the First Blood War part. As for Quincy Genocide, we've always assumed that anyone who was part of the Gotei at the time had a hand in the Quincy Genocide. It doesn't seem like an institution that is keen on conscientious objection, particularly given the way the Ryoka Invasion plays out (Ukitake and Kyouraku showing up with slightly-stolen sacred items to stare at Yamamoto with)--something tells me that doesn't usually happen. And you may not have even had to be in the Gotei to have been a part of that--there's probably plenty of room for mercenary for hire types like Yumichika and Ikkaku, re: whatever it is they were up to several hundred years ago. 

I think it's safer to assume that if a shinigami was alive and employed 200 years ago, they were more likely a factor than not. (Even Nice Guys like Ukitake? Yes, absolutely. Nice guys do war crimes. Ukitake was clearly unwilling to genuinely engage Lillynette in Fake Karakura, but I think he believes enough in the Great Plate of Balance to have taken part. Plus, Kyouraku and Ukitake love Yamamoto, and this seems to be generally unchallenged sentiment throughout the Gotei. If there'd been statistically significant contention within the Gotei about the Quincy Genocide, I'm not sure that loyalty would have survived in the same way. I'm not saying everyone was gung-ho about it--the fact that civil war within the Gotei would be mutually assured destruction likely complicates these feelings, among other things--but it's on everyone's resume. 

Two semi-related things we're very curious about:

1. What about the souls in Rukongai who were alive for the Quincy Genocide? What does this moment in history look like from the perspective of people caught in the crossfire? Does it impact Rukongai at all? Is it at their front door, or does it manifest as negative presence (e.g. 'man didn't there used to be more shinigami patrolling out here before? wonder what they're up to!') What does Junrinan Grandma think about all this??? 

2. Did anyone get anything out of the deal? In the sense that slaughtering magical humans was probably not a universally popular game plan, and that the number of different perspectives on and attitudes toward these marching orders was likely worth contending with. Sure, authoritarian regimes be authoritarian-izing, but I think in terms of the long-game and making sure the Gotei gets another 1000 years out of itself, minor concessions can go a long way. Can noble status be granted through joint agreement between Central 46 and the Noble Consortium? Can grant money be promised? More funds for the free press?

If you meet a death quota, can you successfully petition for a rare general discharge from the Gotei so you can start a dry goods store? Does the commercial business permit still take 200 years to go through approvals, during which time you've made Vice Captain and also made a series of strong investments and now have enough of a nestegg to instead start an upscale boutique specializing in glasses and other eyewear???

Preview for BLEACH TYBW - Episode 27

BleAch TYBW 27

Kind of disappointing that it’s starting with the end of the previous episode especially cause I watched that episode dubbed a few days prior… but the entire “second half” was amazing would have preferred a longer Uryu fight but I suppose it’s still better than the nothing the manga had… there’s not much to say beyond the fact that this should have been in part 2 and how it ended but oh well that hardly matters anymore…

Quincy Encyclopedia (Thousand Year Blood War arc version) Part 27

Haschwalth : Today I shall explain regarding the Schrift of His Majesty, which is none other than The Almighty itself. Haschwalth : It allows His Majesty to observe all possible futures at once like countless grains of sand in the wind and can thus act accordingly using the knowledge he has gained to anticipate and counter his opponents. It could alter the future into whatever outcome he desires. Haschwalth: There is however one more wonderful feat he could achieve with Almighty. But that for now remains a classified secret of His Majesty. When the time comes- Haschwalth (saw the scene of Uryu sporting the same red eyes as Yhwach playing out on the LCD screen): ... Haschwalth then stares at the audience long enough, signaling if probably you are wondering the exact same thing as him
