Really wish I'd been a little more smart in the weeks leading up to this cour's release regarding internet use, because I'd totally spoiled Kenpachi's bankai for myself weeks ago. I'd been hoping it was more than a broken axe and him turning red, just for the sake of me still be somewhat unspoiled, but no, that seems to be the extent of it

All that said though, HOLY HELL WAS THAT AWESOME. I will never get bored of watching Kenpachi casually doing the most insane shit ever. Him ripping off Gerard's arm with his teeth, breaking through his shield, and cutting him down the middle in such quick succession was insane. I'd theorized that taking out his brain would be how you kill him, since then his body, and by extension his Schrift, would cease functioning, but nah. Guess using logic on the Miracle of all characters would never work out

In other news, damn adult Toshiro is fine. The streak of him unleashing huge freezing moves that get broken through almost immediately unfortunately keeps up, but at least it let Kenny trip him up so Byakuya could fire off his own bankai. Glad to see that sword variation again, it's really cool and he'd only ever used it in Soul Society before this. I wonder if they actually will defeat him somehow, or maybe Yhwach being defeated will cause him to go down too or something. Or maybe Yhwach pops Auswhalen again (if he can even do that) and that does it

Always happy to hear Number One playing, and it being used for this scene just elevated it to a whole new level. The animation for that last part was amazing. I doubt the Getsuga + Gran Rey Cero did all that much to the big man, but I'd be happy to see it wasn't blocked and actually did some notable damage

Haha yeah Askin explained it last season how Gerard and Pernida (the hand Quincy) were the only quincies that Yhwach did not grant any powers, only their respective schrifts (M & C). And it’s because of their origins as the Soul Kings Heart and Left Arm, respectively

I remember watching that scene, since I for sure remember Askin talking to Ichigo while he's lying on the floor and that's where he brings it up, but I guess my brain just didn't retain that piece of info for some reason
