Did yous two catch the latest episode, The End?

 

Not yet. Will watch it in the evening

 

@Laraib

We got the legendary meme: Angry Hashbrown face finally in the anime; ripped straight from the manga.



Here is a comparison with the manga panel of this:



@Gobb
You just have to add this one here

One thing Bleach has in common with the Star Wars franchise: Every single frame and every single piece of dialogue can be turned into a meme. No other manga/anime comes close in that potential

 

Yeah, Ichigo was ready to accept being the new Soul King. You can also see some of the water from the primordial sea seeping out via his footsteps and then swirling around him, indicating that he really has the power to bear the weight of the worlds.

If it was just to see the future, it would not be called "Almighty". The power to change the future - even retroactively at that - is just beyond broken. Yhwach's power is the height of BS in a franchise filled with powers that are just plain BS!

Yes. You can see his limbs rain down next to Rukia.

Redheads just don't have it easy, man. They always get the worst treatment in animation.

Yhwach saw something in the future and was like: Not messing with that shite! Ending it in advance.

And now we see how Uryu was able to beat Senjumaru, despite her being clearly vastly more powerful.

Uryu was already a skilled, tactical, and formidable warrior. His new schrift just makes him broken now in addition to being powerful.

You mean Uryu's wounds?

 

This pleases me.

 

Episode 6 could make the most optimistic person fall in despair. Yhwach is God. There's no other explanation for him to come back after whatever happened to him last episode. Poor Orihime, she really did everything she could. Ichigo was ready to become the next Soul King man, that was brutal. Jugo vs Uryu also comes to a close. Jugo's Schrift is Balance and Uryu's is Antithesis. Uryu transferred all his wounds to Jugo but Jugo reversed his misfortune, only to be Auswahlen-blitzed. Does this mean Gerard is done too? Thankfully Uryu's power can't be taken through Auswahlen otherwise he'd be toast YUHABAHA YOU BROKE ICHIGO'S ZANPAKUTO!?!?! WHAT THE **** THATS NOT FAIR. Renji is dead like roadkill This episode didn't feel like shonen anime lmao

 

This is the moment Hashbrown become Heisenberg

 

I think Jugo killing Bazz-B filled him with so much remorse and regret that he wanted to be defeated in order to atone. That's why he told Uryu to transfer his wounds to him to do one good deed for the sake of friendship.

 

Nope.

Remember when Ichibei turned Yhwach into a black ant and smushed him with the Monty Python foot and stand hands?

Yhwach did technically die then, which is why he got his Almighty back, as that was the condition of the curse placed upon him when Ichibei met him in the Lichtreich a thousand years ago. As soon as moustache king got his Almighty back, it retroactively undid the BS that Ichibei did to him and brought him back.

Imagine Uryu gets pummeled by Kenshiro and the latter says "you are already dead".

Uryu just be like: I know you are but what am I?

Then Kenshiro explodes

As was explained: Almighty is the ability to change the future. The explanation was slightly different from the manga, but the same "infinite grains of sand" thing was used.

Now you see why The Almighty is so damn busted. Yhwach can see infinite futures, like infinite grains of sand laid out before him. Doesn't like the one he is current in? Picks a different one and that becomes the new future event. And, yes, it works retroactively even if he is seemingly killed or even erased from existence.

As I said before: Yhwach's schrift is the absolute height of BS in a franchise filled with absolute BS! It is just that impossibly broken.

Yhwach absolutely needed to steal Hashbrown's powers. Most fans miss it, but he very likely needed to steal The Balance in order to break Ichigo's new Tensa Zangetsu.
