VerifiedIchigo logrará librarse de la prisión que lo atrapa en el espacio entre los mundos. El capitán general se moviliza mostrando su gran poder vengando a Chojiro.
Muchas escenas donde personajes fuertes caen derrotados de manera abrumadora.
Simplemente épico, la animación es espectacular.

Whoa, seeing Kenpachi so desperate, completely bandaged and clearly in agony looking for Yachiru, I was genuinely shocked by his raw vulnerability. It just makes me realize how much of his own strength he draws from her, which totally changes my perspective on their bond.
hosenki
i was screaming when grimmjow stepped out of that rift because seeing him and ichigo back together feels so nostalgic even if he still wants to kill him
miraidon
aizen sitting in that chair acting like he owns the place is actually insane he wiped out the entire swarm without even moving a finger and you can tell how strong he got in prison
zexion_456
kenpachi being so stressed about finding yachiru made him feel way more human than usual and his spiritual pressure making the ground shake was scary
bulma_brilliance
the way kyoraku just lets aizen out of the hole shows how desperate the soul society is right now and seeing those eyeball things everywhere was creepy
yuji_itadori_134
i am still shaking because grimmjow actually showed up at the end and his dialogue about killing ichigo was exactly what i needed to hear today
professor_oak
I still cannot believe Shunsui actually let Aizen out of the hole but seeing him use Kurohitsugi like that made me realize they really had no other choice
tuxedo_mask_393
Aizen just sitting there in that chair and acting like he owns the place is actually insane and he looks totally unfazed by the global collapse happening right in front of him
koraidon_316
I was actually getting emotional seeing Kenpachi so desperate to find Yachiru, especially since he usually only cares about fighting. It shows how much the war has changed him and everyone else in the Gotei 13.
goh
Urahara and Aizen trading petty insults while working on the gate is the funniest dynamic in the Soul Society right now, and they clearly still hate each other
rach_m
Shunsui made the right call bringing the Quincy survivors into the fold even though everyone else was ready to start another fight village
gladion_352
I honestly did not think I would ever see Aizen and Urahara in the same room again without them trying to kill each other, but here we are. The way they kept trading insults while trying to build a gate was so tense and funny at the same time. This episode really upped the stakes with that Grimmjow reveal at the very end.
hau
That ending with Grimmjow stepping through the rift was everything and you just know he is only there to get his rematch with Ichigo and his grin is still as wild as ever
sheik_263
I still cannot believe they actually let Aizen out of that chair and he just deleted those eyeball monsters with one move without even trying
tanjiro_tidal
The return of Grimmjow stepping out of that rift and immediately talking trash to Ichigo was the highlight of the week for me. I missed their rivalry so much, and it feels like the old Bleach energy is finally back in full force. The stakes are insane now that Yhwach has all those eyes, but having an Arrancar on the team changes everything
umibozu_usurper
Hiyori brings so much chaos whenever she shows up and seeing her kick Shinji in the face while the world is literally ending provided some much needed humor
gendo_ikari_182
You can really tell Aizen has gotten stronger because he just erased a whole army of shadows with that Kurohitsugi while he was still strapped to that chair village
anju_272
The absolute silence and then the explosion of sound when Yamamoto arrived was such a cool direction choice and the animation quality is just staying consistently high every single week for these big moments
brassius
My skin was crawling when Yhwach showed off all those unblinking eyes because he looks like a literal monster now
EPISODE CONTEXT
Coming off the devastating events of episode 4, 'Kill the Shadow,' where the Soul Society suffered critical losses, 'Wrath as a Lightning' escalates the conflict further and deepens the sense that this war is being lost. Positioned at the season's rough midpoint, it serves as a crucial bridge between the initial shock of the Quincy invasion and the pivotal confrontations ahead, directly setting the stage for episode 6, 'The Fire,' which promises to be a turning point.
