Creepy flood

A stream of eerie eyeball monsters ravages the Seireitei.

When Yhwach assimilated the Soul King, his power flowed from the Soul King's palace through a hole in the Shakonmaku. The gooey monstrosities in the shadows took the form of eerie orb-like monsters that clung to anything that moved. With teeth reminiscent of lampreys We see various shinigami. Fight these creatures as they swarm every corner of the Seireitei. Seated officers Ikkaku Madarame and Yumichika Ayasegawa of the 11th Division and Lieutenant Shuhei Hisagi of the 9th Division were able to fight them. But with the sheer number of monsters So it was only a matter of time until they were overtaken. Luckily, Captain of the 6th Division, Byakuya Kuchiki, uses his Senbon Sakura to deal with the hordes of eyeball monsters. This gave the trio a chance to catch their breath and regroup with themselves, Rukia, Renji, and Soifon once again. A lot of gooey mess flowed in. But a powerful spiritual presence has arrived: Sōsuke Aizen is still tied to the chair where he served his 20,000 year sentence in Muken.

still get it

He might get stronger in prison.

Aizen taunts that such a creature is not the type to lift a sword. But it was a living being that had to be crushed by the power of spiritual pressure. Rukia and others Shocked to see Aizen leave prison and prepare to get involved. But Kyoraku was there to explain that he was the one who released him. By nature They all had a lot to say about having to team up with someone who caused enormous damage to Soul Society and irrevocably changed the lives of many Shinigami who were unfortunate enough to stand in his way. But Kyōraku tells them that he doesn't. Do not think that it is wrong to fight evil with evil. As more creatures entered the Seireitei, Aizen shot his favorite Kidō #90. Kurohizuki (“Black Coffin”) which has been given a stunning makeover. Thousand Year Blood War arc

An arc of purple-black electricity appeared. This was Kyoraku's signal to tell everyone to take cover before a giant black box appeared. It closes the hole in the Chakonmaku before unleashing a deadly effect that clears the eyeball area. This moment is carried by the Impact frame in the animation. which serves as the protagonist in communicating Aizen's incomprehensible power. Even if it means imprisonment for two years at best. Despite the formidable display of power But the restraints used to defeat Aizen proved to be a real hindrance to him. And you can see the first real change in his facial expression since he started appearing in Thousand Year Blood War Arc Kurotsuchi arrives with Nemu and is delighted that something he created cannot be destroyed by Aizen's power. This apparently bothered the former Captain of Division 5 because he offered a challenge. “Let's see which one comes out superior. your technology or my spiritual pressure.”

Crazy people?

The surviving Quincy offered his hand to the Shinigami.

Aizen and Kurotsuchi's verbal exchange is interrupted when the former is hit by an energy wave coming from Sternritter U – The Underbelly, NaNaNa Najahkoop, who believes he has fully understood Aizen's spiritual pressure, fires a deadly beam that hits him in the head. Najahkoop is joined by Bazz-B, G – The Glutton Liltotto Lamperd, and Z – The Zombie Giselle Gewelle, who initially appears to help Najahkoop, but Bazz-B blows a hole in his chest. Unlike Najahkoop who remains loyal to Yhwach despite being abandoned, Bazz-B and the others don't mind being thrown away and decide to help the Shinigami as they now have a common goal. together

Because of this, Kyoraku sent orders throughout the Sereitei for any officer still able to move towards the 12th Division Barracks, spiritual pressure needed to help power up the gate. That would lead directly to the Spirit King's palace. The preparations for this portal reveal a number of characters we haven't seen in a while, including Visoreds Hiyori Sarugaki, Love Aikawa, Lisa Yadomaru, Hachigen, and many others, but there are also glimpses at silhouettes that Walk up to the Garganta, which teases the return of Grimmjow Jaegerjacquez. which is the end of the episode.

missed opportunity

The final episode's dramatic ending meant nothing.

Although there are big moments here and there. But missed the opportunity BLEACH: The Thousand Year Blood War, Part 3 Episode 5, which builds on the dramatic conclusion of Ichigo's battle with Uryu. The confrontation ended in serious injury for the former. We didn't see the entire episode until the end. And after the emotional rollercoaster of the previous episode. Just cutting the part where Ichigo is okay again means having to wrap up the aftermath of the battle. But from the fact that We know the awesomeness of Orihime's power. And it is still seen as pointless to see the consequences of this. If the outcome of the battle is denied by Orihime's ability to reject the phenomenon This episode is a bridge to what's to come. This episode did what it had to do and continued the incredible story of the series. Even though it wasn't as intense as the previous episodes.

BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 3 is available on Hulu and Disney+.
