KYORAKU'S BANKAI IS HERE - IT'S INCREDIBLE! Bleach: TYBW Episode 35 - LIVE REACTION (Manga Spoilers)

Hello everyone!

At long last, Kyoraku's Bankai is here - as is his battle with Lille Barro! As the second of the major Schutzstaffel battles to take place, this is a big one. This is the fight I've been looking forward to the most in Part 3 - so how did the anime do?

Let's take a look together - enjoy!

KYORAKU'S BANKAI IS HERE - IT'S INCREDIBLE! Bleach: TYBW Episode 35 - LIVE REACTION (Manga Spoilers)

I hope they don't use CGI for Lille, as his VS in this episode looked noticeably really good I think.

Oh nice!

This fight was (and still is for part 2) my most anticipated in the arc. Lille is one of my favorite Sternritter and Kyoraku my favorite captain, and honestly, they NAILED this. I think everything looked incredible. I do agree that the gold for the bankai was not what I was expecting, but after a second watch, it works for me. The biggest thing I had hopes for was Lille's Vollstandig and they absolutely hit it out of the park! He looks INCREDIBLE and I cannot wait to see the second stage. The one thing that I ALWAYS had in my mind for when Lille transforms was that his voice becomes echo-y and ethereal, almost as though it was coming down from heaven seeing as though he's almost like a biblical cherub or seraphim and I am SO glad to see they did that. Absolutely incredible episode this week and I am DYING to see the second half! Lille's second stage Vollstandig is going to be insane!

Agreed. I feel people are gonna defend it with “it’s supposed to look weird and bad” Like. Sure his owl form is legitimately unnerving. But kubo didn’t draw him terribly to get that point across. Bad CGI is just bad.

Your not wrong about the title for next week. The full title (shown on the offical Tiktok) is indeed BABY HOLD YOUR HAND 2 [NEVER ENDING MY DREAM] https://www.tiktok.com/@bleach.official/video/7438855720797293832 I think it was just too long to put in the small space at the end

I hope not, because pernida looks so-so as it is. Lille's owl form stretches contorts and does all this weird stuff so i just cant imagine that looking anywhere good in CGI

Frank Franklin

Really interested to see what lille is gonna look like in the anime, the owl is my favourite of the holy forms so hoping they go all out!

Frank Franklin

Loved it! The gold threw me for a loop at first but after seeing some images of classic backdrops it fits perfectly. Do wish kyorakus line had been slightly altered as a result, though.

Frank Franklin

YES. I've been waiting for your reaction. I loved Kyoraku's bankai, especially his chemistry with Katen Kyokotsu. It feels like such an important part of his character to show how comfortable and familiar he is with his zanpakuto spirit, not just as a partner in combat but with the vibe of an old lover.

I've read somewhere on Reddit I think, that Taguchi said they're splitting up the fights to show that they're happening at the same time. May just be hearsay.

An amazing episode! That’s all I can say for sure. When I saw this rendition of Kyoraku’s bankai, the colors chosen, that weird gold color and grid based pattern on the floor honestly reminded me of Shoji screens and old parchment paper. It gave off the feeling decaying piece of art. Which seems a bit fitting, considering “withering” is in the translation of his bankai name.

Kyoraku really carries this cour with Uryu

If I can be honest. I do not like the squares as the background. I would have prefer what they had in the manga. Or maybe some cloths. Or a skybox of those trees in his release. But. Every other visual of it was awe inspiring. Those swirly lines covering all of wharvelt was so beautifully done. Other than that. This episode was absolutely fantastic. I am *nearly* speechless! Kyoraku getting a new game of his shikai gives hope his bankai may be seen again with a new play. I hope so! Even if the story of this bankai is so beautifully tragic. (Spoiler) I wonder if they will use CGI for lile’s owl form. I really hope not. Unless they absolutely go insane with his in spite of pernidas controversial CGI use. Fav parts include but not limited too. Kyoraku’s bankai (ofc) The shot of kyoraku standing in the green Quincy cross during lile’s vollstandish. The mention of what ukitake would do in this situation. And shinji saying how they need to trust kyoraku like they did with Yama. I love them seeing their trust his power. What about you all? Any hopes???

This episode is wild!
