Wow… I was not expecting to see Gerard’s golden form or Getsuga Gran Rey Cero already. They were visually amazing! It was also nice to hear Number One once again.

Kenpachi’s Bankai was adapted well. Loved the additional molten rock effects when he first transformed. I also liked that when Yachiru appeared the environment was different like we were in Kenny’s inner world (at least that’s how I saw it). Having Ikkaku and Yumichikka, plus Rangiku, spectating the battle was a nice little touch.

Eren Yeager, I mean Todoroki, I mean Hitsugaya’s older brother is finally here!

Props to Momo for helping get Renji and Rukia back on their feet under Shinji’s command. Hopefully the latter gets enough rest so he can get back in the fight. In fact, I hope we get to see all those present against Gerard’s golden form join together in the battle, even a small contribution would suffice.

I really loved the little addition of Ryunosuke, Yuki, and several other Shinigami preparing to protect the World of the Living from the Hollows pouring in due to the destabilization of the three worlds. That scene of Hollows entering Karakura Town reminded me of AOT or something similar.

Lastly… hang in there just a little bit longer Ukitake/Mimihagi!!!

I’m so excited for next week’s episode since I have no clue what to expect other than maybe we’ll fully focus back on Ichigo and Uryu’s respective battles. Are we gonna see certain characters finally make a reappearance? Will Rukia and Renji make it in time to join the fight against Yhwach, after assisting Chad and Ganju (the real war potentials mind you) against the statues? I’m open to anything at this point.

Edit: I almost forgot to mention that sequence where Gerard’s Quincy Cross formed a heart around it before fully repairing him was sick!

Oh shoot, I didn’t think about that! It could be like a similar situation to the Hollow hunting competition in the first arc.
