First, finally! -Ishida and Renji's fight is completely new material. The manga briefly hinted at Renji having more to offer at this particular part (the poem) but, due to being rushed, it amounted to nothing. The anime rectifies that. -Askin is the gift that keeps on giving. He's definitely one of the best characters introduced in this arc, and you'll be surprised at how good his track record is. -The Quincies aren't screwing around anymore. Lille's sniping was particularly savage. -It's funny to see Hanataro's interactions with Zaraki and Squad 11, mostly because they come from the very beginning of the series and the omake in which Zaraki manifests interest on him due to Hisagomaru's energy blast, deeming him "worth fighting".

4:42 architecture flex 👌🔥 7:58 kenpachi prioritizing hygiene not what i expected ever 😂 11:07, 11:31 askin is halarious 😂 13:31 lille is a MENACE! 15:43 uryu vs renji wasnt eveb on manfa readers bingo card! We ATEEEE! 17:25 renji kicking that arrow was sick! 18:04 "supastaa" 😂 18:41 renji is so badass 19:59 ALL OF THIS IS NEW 😭🔥🔥🔥 21:37 RENJI COOKING!🔥🔥🔥
So I did a lil research of my own, which involved observing the topic of question from all possible angles, and I came to a conclusion that Hikifune in her "big" form is definitely bigger than Nell, and it's not even close. So either Kubo forgot about her, or Nell's as big as the plot demands it at any given moment.
The Gate of the Sun was that teleporter that the Schutzstaffel used, the one that the episode title appeared around. We actually heard about it back in Cour 1. === I love that Grimmjow figured out how to partially transform. Now he can use some of the strengths of his released state without losing the advantages of his base form. === I love that when Askin used "Gift Ball" against Grimmjow, he used its name to throw off the Arrancar, making Grimmjow think "Gift" as in "present". === The Renji scenes are completely new. At least, if he had to lose, they made it worthwhile against the new and vastly improved Uryu with it being good to know Sōō Zabimaru retains enhanced versions of Hihio Zabimaru's techniques plus a few new techniques and Uryu needed his Vollstandig, his Schrift (explaining why I believe he used his schrift would require spoilers on what it does) and a couple new techniques as well to win while Renji subconsciously held back to boot. Feder Zwinger (the new Uryu technique that drains reiatsu from a victim) is German for Feather Kennel and it fits thematically considering Renji is from the Hanging Dog district and has compared himself to a stray dog barking at the moon in the past ("I am really a tramp down to my bones. I hate myself. I bark at the moon, but I don't have the courage to jump and grab it." - Renji Abarai in "A STAR AND A STRAY DOG"). Uryu is an a**hole for placing Renji in a kennel. === Sōō Zabimaru (双王蛇尾丸, Twin Kings Snake Tail; Viz "Two Kings") === Note: The area that Uryu's last arrow targeted was the Hakusui (Soul Sleep). Byakuya destroyed it and the Saketsu (Binding Chain) on Ichigo to strip Ichigo of Shinigami powers back in the Agent of the Shinigami arc. In a Shinigami, the Saketsu acts as a boost to spiritual power, in conjunction with the Hakusui, the source of spiritual power. These two points are commonly considered pressure points. If they are pierced, they seal up this spiritual power, and the Shinigami will lose all their power. The Shinigami who experiences this will never be a Shinigami again.The only reason Ichigo regained his Shinigami powers after this was because he had been using Rukia's power rather than his own latent powers. === I've been looking forward to the episode "BABY, HOLD YOUR HAND" so much. The Mayuri fight in this part of the TYBW is one of the best fights in the manga and I can't wait for the anime adaptation. Perfect choice for Episode 400.
Gift is just literally 'Poisonous/venomous' in German . So there's a wordplay of gift as a present and gift as in literal translation. While feder zwinger is 'feathery dog cage/forcing' in German .
Yeah, the entire Renji/Uryu fight is completely new. Though it's not as grandiose as that, the scene at the beginning with Yhwach addressing the Quincies before sending them out is also new. Very savagely, the scene of Lille Barro decimating all the vice-captains is new as well, and does a really good job of putting into perspective just how strong the four of Yhwach's elite Quincy are. In the manga we just see Hisagi get picked off and it's kind of implied that everyone else who was shot got off-screened by him.
Interesting fact about last 2 Uryu fights. Remember back in first Arc of Bleach. Uryu Dueled with Ichigo in killin hollows and lost. Then he fought with Renji i got beaten up. Now Ichigo got beaten then Renji got nearly killed. Karma is a b....
Just a guess: The circle on Renjis chest could symbolize the Saketsu (the place the Chain of Fate once was) were Shinigami boost their spiritual power. If one destroys both Saketsu (boost) and Hakusui (source) Shinigami will lose their power. We have seen Uryu use that against Jiroubou (the Shinigami who wanted to sneak attack Orihime) and against the Privaron Espada Cirucci or even Byakuya against Ichigo at the very start of the series. But as Uryu only fired one arrow he probably only dissabled it momentarly
6:06 Sui-feng tonight 👁👁 8:03 Wash your hands properly Kenpachi proved that he is a man who washes his hands properly, not a man who is stupid enough not to wash his hands after using the restroom. He also proved to be a nice guy who wipes his wet hands with a handkerchief instead of shaking them vigorously to dry them or wiping them with his hair or clothes. 9:06 Jumping up and down We already knew that Zach would definitely respond!!! 13:23 Ōmaedaaaaaaaa!!! If you fall down, Sui-feng will be in trouble because Sui-feng will no longer have a caretaker! Stand up! 13:56 Anime Original Although TYBW has had some anime original scenes in the past, from this point on, most of them are original to the anime, and the storyline is very different from that of the manga.

It was created by Yhwach, who took the power of the Soul King, and summoned the city and buildings of "Wandenreich" that had covered the Court of Pure Souls, and rebuilt them. The castle keep is a reminder of its former home, Silbern. According to Yhwach, Wahr welt is "our state," and at the same time, it refers to the new "state" that will replace the name "Wandenreich" that Quincy and others have been calling themselves. 【アスキン・ナックルヴァール(ASKIN NAKKLE VAAR)】 The "D" in Schrift stands for "The Death Dealing" ability. When a specified substance is ingested, it is possible to accurately calculate the "full lethal dose" that leads to 100% death, and to raise or lower that dose at will, putting the enemy into a state of intoxication. Even substances that are not poisonous, such as blood, oxygen, and Reishi, can be made poisonous to the human body by adjusting the amount. The lethal dose can be manipulated by taking in a large amount of the specified substance, thus increasing the "lethal dose" and making the enemy immune to the poison. His main technique is the "Gift Ball". This technique involves throwing a ball containing the target's substance at the target, which then consumes the victim with a "lethal" dose. 22:42 Feder Zwinger This is new ability of Uryū that, as far as I know, was first demonstrated here. Its effect is unknown, but it may be a technique to forcibly incapacitate and restrain, since it translates to "feather cage" in German and Renji's Bankai has been deactivated. This episode is full of developments not found in the manga, and most Japanese who have already read the manga were confused and could not understand it. I am one of them.
Well Uryu did explain what the ability did, it completely drained his reiatsu. He did not explain that last technique which maybe has something to do with his schrift.
Its confirm renji has a fire type zanpaktou Aldo Whoo the animation Never would have thought uryu vs renji fight will the best animated bleach fight up to now
6:11 When sticking to the source material pays off: I don't think I've ever had bonk-worthy thoughts about her in the anime before TYBW. 9:07 The Orihime physics almost makes up for all the past censorship. And boy was that a long scene, almost felt like an apology to the negative feedback 😄 And to be fair, the issue hasn't really been censorship in TYBW, but rather the omission of scenes of cultural significance. 26:02 I realize I'm contradicting myself, but I too agree this should be toned down. Clothing damage should be enough.
All the Ishida Vs Renji is original from the anime, specially for give both Ishida and Renji more screen because i think after this point, Renji almost dont appair in the manga.
Uryu might of just shot Renji’s soul chain, the source of a soul reapers powers (Byakuya broke Ichigo’s and he temporary lost his soul reaper abilities)😭
The soul chain is basically just a soul's heart. To remove soul reaper powers you need to cut both the soul chain and the soul sleep. Renji's powers should be intact
Once again telling you that the "Later in this video" preview at the beginning of your videos is stupid and bad. It doesn't increase retention. It just annoys people that want to actually see your reactions. Whichever Mods or UA-cam person told you to do this was strong you wrong. People don't stay to watch what you show them immediately. Do a Poll on your Community tab. You'll see that I'm correct.
Cour 3 just keep upgrading itself each and every week man. Kubo is too spicy with it! This is why I put him above all other mangakas (no disrespect to them ofc, I love them all), he is HIM. And Renji was HIM today too. Everyone sees this as a loss for him, NO. Put the respect on his name. He forced Uryu to use two of his strongest Quicy "bankai" powers and still held his own. He dominated in this fight. Still, Uryu is no slouch either and he may have had a point about those three things he told Renji. He's a great villain
Renji used to be one of the biggest losers in the series but, in hindsight, his losses are actually pretty justifiable. His opponents were: the protagonist of the series, his own Captain (when he had just attained Bankai, no less), an Espada (who had the advantage of analyzing his Reiatsu beforehand) and a Sternritter with a strong hax who drop-kicked him while he was distracted, plus, due to his powers, has to be defeated in a very specific way (and, in a sense, ended up defeating himself). And now we can add the sole mixed-blood Quincy who survived Yhwach's Auswahlen and even Yhwach can't understand why or how. His training with Squad Zero really paid off in the end. And people were asking themselves, back in the day, why Unohana included Renji among Ichigo and Byakuya in her speech about "you have friends to spar with".
My master Tsukishima defeating Yuhabaha? Well, he put an end to Marineford war, he saved Konoha from Pain, he also stopped Aizen before, so it's possible. Bookmarked 📖
He also delivered the medicine for Goku.
Didn't he also say I have no enemies?? Master Tsukushima will save us all
This is, well ... kinda ironic considering what will actually happen.
Couldn't expect less from my uncle Tsukishima
"How much of this is new, BTW?"
ALL OF IT. ALL IS FUCKING NEW. ALL. OF. IT.
I'm scared for him during "God Of Thunder"
gonna pass away
Wonder how they will slap that title card in that episode ... I doubt the anime won't censor it
This episode just melted my brain. Well frikin' done Kubo and team.
Askin really using that Joestar Secret Technique against Grimmjow, even attempted to have a picnic
Nakk Le Var literally a JoJo character
Title: "Kubo cooked"
Me: yes because that Renji vs Uryu fight wasn't in the manga! Kubo is topping himself every single new week! 🔥👏🏻
To be fair, Kubo had time restraints making the manga, and is working closely with the anime team right to make it closer to his original vision? So I mean technically, the title isn't totally wrong, correct?
First, finally!
-Ishida and Renji's fight is completely new material. The manga briefly hinted at Renji having more to offer at this particular part (the poem) but, due to being rushed, it amounted to nothing. The anime rectifies that.
-Askin is the gift that keeps on giving. He's definitely one of the best characters introduced in this arc, and you'll be surprised at how good his track record is.
-The Quincies aren't screwing around anymore. Lille's sniping was particularly savage.
-It's funny to see Hanataro's interactions with Zaraki and Squad 11, mostly because they come from the very beginning of the series and the omake in which Zaraki manifests interest on him due to Hisagomaru's energy blast, deeming him "worth fighting".

Kubo really chooses to answer questions about bust size and underwear instead of stuff like OG gotei lore 😭😭🙏

Was it, though? I somewhat remember seeing Lille sniping more people in the manga, huh.
Kubo made death cards on twitter so i'm extremely worried
Poor Hanataro had to be in the same room as Kenpachi, probably traumatized by the amount of reiatsu Kenpachi released in the restroom
Fun thing is, in an omake, Zaraki actually considers Hanataro worth sparring with.
