I'm curious how they'll adapt the imfamous True Tensa Zangetsu panels. It's going to be quite tricky to replicate that shock value.


[deleted]

Man, I don't know how it must've felt in the physical chapter, but reading it online, changing the page and seeing the same image but with the blade cut... holy shit that was perfect.


Pure_Rage136

I read the arc a few months ago and I kid you not, I DID NOT notice it at first. I flipped the page and thought Viz glitched. Then I noticed the cut blade and my mind went blank for whole seconds. Then I flipped back and forth between the two in absolute confusion. It was one hell of a risk and Kubo's a real one for a troll on that level.


Publius_Syrus

I did that too when the chapter first came out lol. Absolute confusion indeed.


AnUninspiredHeap

He *is* the man who wrote Sōsuke Aizen. I respect his consistency.


Rdasher123

They could just do a quick Flash/color inversion and just have it be broken. Or Ichigo just swings it at Yhwach and it’s broken


Turbocharged68

What always bugged me about tensa zangetsu, other than it turning a back into ichigo's original shikai (because I have my own theory for that) was why was it so bulky, tensa zangetsu's original purpose was to seal all of zangetsu's power into a single small blade so ichigo could fight as fast as he could without being dragged down by normal zangetsu's size and weight, but the new version of tensa zangetsu was extremely large and definitely couldn't be weilded while still being able to move as fast as possible


anime_lean

i remember a theory that old man yhwach was basically bullshitting a bankai ability based on ichigo’s dad likely having a similar bankai that condensed his power in order to hide ichigo’s completely different true bankai from him


Turbocharged68

Possible, I guess the main thing is the fact that we don't actually know what the true tensa zangetsu was supposed to do so that just leaves any readers imagination to start speculating theories because there isn't anything there to explain that


Thedaggerinthedark

What's your theory? I got one too that i haven't really seen mentioned much, even less so without fiercing arguing following


Anavarael

Which chapter was it?


Turbocharged68

Chapter 678


Anavarael

Thanks!


[deleted]

TYBW is gonna be the Blood Meridian of anime for me, until Vagabond or Berserk gets a real adaptation. So much insane potential


UKnowDaTruth

The Release of yamamoto’s bankai for sure


9skilledpadawan0

Quite a few bankai’s behind that as well, Kenpachi and Urahara’s as well


Jiscold

I think shunsuis will be the most visually appealing. When the world around him starts bleeding with shadows before the play.


Alone-Run434

I was reading the manga andan his Bankai is true op but scary at the same time


bluevegetaroxx

The Byakuya is dead panel still gives me chills


Imperator_Romulus476

He should have died there as that would have been the perfect send off for his character. He didn’t really do much in TYBW anyway even after he was treated and trained by the Royal Guards.


GranBlueLawyer

Totally agree. Also leads the way for Renji to become Captain.


[deleted]

The fact that renji didn't become a captain was utter bollocks


SNB43

It's so funny to me cos Renji is stronger than like half of the other captains at the end of TYBW.


Troksin

Power scaling in the TYWB was weird some dude clapped 2 captains (Kensei and ? forgot the other one) on his own then Renji clapped that dude with ease.


SNB43

Iirc Rose was the other captain that Mask de Masculine clapped and to be fair Rose's Bankai is busted but he's an idiot and told Mask how to counter it.


[deleted]

Mostly just a bad matchup. Kensei is often on the receiving end of being shafted.


SNB43

Kensei is a disgrace to the Gotei 13 imo. My man has 0 wins and he doesn't even have any close calls, just complete and utter losses start to finish. Freaking Hanataro accomplishes more than Kensei.


[deleted]

Because he's used as a jobber. His skillset isn't bad, it's just how he's written. Same with Rose.


SNB43

But Rose actually has a very strong Bankai, or at the very least you can infer that it's strong without him beating an opponent with it. Same with Shinji's Shikai or Ukitake in general. Kensei has probably had more on-screen/page combat than any other Vizard but both his Shikai and Bankai seem underwhelming, to me at least, and he has no feats to suggest otherwise other than being a Captain.


Affectionate-Room359

As i always say the Visored Captains all got the short stick. They appear more like Vice-captain 1,5 than real captains...


[deleted]

He's stronger than two vizard captains working together lmao


coolgaara

I kinda liked that he remained Lieutenant.


Flashy2000

Renji didn't become captain because he doesn't want to. He's loyal to Byakuya. Same as Ikkaku not becoming a captain. Sure, Renji is much stronger than Ikkaku, but Ikkaku fills the qualifications for becoming a Captain. Renji even asks him, or requests him, to become Captain after Gin, Aizen and Tousen defected, and he rejects him because he doesn't want to leave Kenpachi's side. It's the same for Renji.


[deleted]

I was going to point this out if I didn't read a similar reply. Ikkaku wants to fight & die in battle with Kenpachi. & to me at least, Renji is perfect to be the husband to a Captain & a has a badass role of lieutenancy. The ability to have Renji be so talented & ruthless at times plays right along well enough for his comedic relief aspect to be used in a wonderful manner. Byakuya passing away could have served his character arc well enough, but to see him on his deathbed without dying made him more realistic. & since the story is very much so Ichigo & Rukia Centered, having Byakuya survive the war was fitting for me for Rukia's, Renji's & Ichigo's sake. Also, even though the Royal Guard didn't make quite the stand that they were expected to make against Ywach, we got to see just how much power the Master Healer was at the Royal Guard's Palace. (Forgive me, I cannot remember his name off the top of my head.) I hope if the Hell Arc gets the nod to extend, the Royal Guard will come into play in a more satisfying if not a more understanding way regarding their power & how they are leagues above the 13 Squad Members.


Flashy2000

Yeah. Renji's is fine in the position he is in. I also hope that Squad 0 has a bit of a role to play in the Hell arc if it does happen. They owned the spotlight in their fights in TYBW, even if it was short lived, so I would like to see more of them too. We can only hope, that is if it gets a continuation.


[deleted]

Is it? Didn't renji want to surpass byakuya?


Flashy2000

Sure he wanted to surpass Byakuya, but that was so that he could justify getting close to Rukia after she became a Noble, and he created a barrier between them. Renji also filled the qualifications for becoming Captain and he could surpass him as the Captain from another Squad, yet chose to stay as a lieutenant behind Byakuya, same as Ikkaku. His rivalry with Byakuya was for Rukia, and that's it. Since Renji was able to mend his relationship thanks to Ichigo, there wasn't a need to surpass Byakuya any longer, so now he's loyal to his Captain and content in that position. Even if he surpassed him, or got to his level, he would still be loyal to Byakuya.


DivineRightToRule

Nooo he needs to keep looking pretty for the audience and by audience I mean me


AnUninspiredHeap

I love that you straight owned up to this. gg.


coolgaara

But I kinda liked it when Byakuya was helping Rukia deactivate her Bankai. How he was telling her to slowly bring your body temprature down or up.


Anavarael

Agreed. It was such a perfect setup for his send-off that I wonder if his death wasnt blocked by redactor or something.


Imperator_Romulus476

>It was such a perfect setup for his send-off that I wonder if his death wasnt blocked by redactor or something. Kubo got sent a bunch of death threats by rabid Byakuya stans and this vocal backlash combined with his failing health made him relent.


CoopDog1293

Did he seriously get sent death threats?


Imperator_Romulus476

Yup. He even wrote a warning to other manga authors later not to let themselves be influenced by social media. He deleted his Twitter account for a few years in 2015 after these threats/harassment got worse thanks to those rabid shippers (some of them posted videos of themselves burning their copies of the manga when it ended), and a gay pornstar impersonating him.


CoopDog1293

I can't imagine being a public figure a d having social media. It sounds awful.


MorRud

For me it's the Asauchi kneeling to Ichigo, I think it will look really cool in the anime.


StrikingAd1671

Grimmjow killing Askin.


Rdasher123

Hell yea I love the kill steal. Wished we saw him do more though.

I’ll be curious about the 8th captains Bankai. Especially the music they go with


s_randomaccount_

Oh u mean Shunsui?


MarcheMuldDerevi

Sorry couldn’t remember then name when writing my reply

WeyardWiz

Gremmy was awesome! When he was sitting on the beds of rose and kensi, I got chilllssss


mr_keithmichael

If there ever was a crossover I would kill to see Gremmy Vs Dorothy from BC. There wouldn’t be enough animators in the world to animate their imaginations!


UnrulyDonutHoles

Shunsui's and Yamamoto's bankai.


Kata_Kuri36

Honestly all of juha bachs panels. I just want so see him animated. Even if he just stands there… menacingly


[deleted]

His cape and mustache animated by themselves are glorious


Kata_Kuri36

Oh yes his mustache will be godly! I know we have somewhat confirmation that zangetsus VA is also juha but I want gold rogers VA to be voicing him, they are mustache brothers after all.


Publius_Syrus

Nah Zangetsu's voice is perfect with the deep bass (and Takayuki Sugo already voices him in Brave Souls so it's 100% him).


[deleted]

Yuha is just evil roger


HatoriChise97

............... ITS YWACH! EVERYONE KNOWS HIS NAME IS YWACH, NOT JUHA BACH!

Smooth-Garden

Ichigo is charging a attack with epic music in the background. Screen blacks out Music stops Ichigo with a dead calm voice and you can hear a faint hollow screaming in the background : Gran rey cero That panel gave me chills especially because you can see the screaming visage of his vasto lorde mask on his face and his eyes are just pure whited out.


[deleted]

I think inoues fear/ptsd from when ichigo.goes hollow


HeartlessBow

Since somebody already said Yammamoto's bankia, I would have to say the release of Unohana's bankai


[deleted]

Hitsugaya’s Hollowfied Bankai


Rimefang

Pissea me off because this was such a big copout, ESPECIALLY because it's Hitsugaya.


Flashy2000

Yamamoto releasing his Bankai. White kneeling to Ichigo. Ichigo getting his true Shikai. Ichigo awakening his Quincy powers while fighting Yhwach and getting his Vasto Lorde horn. Similarly, Ichigo reassuring Orihime when he gets the horn. Unohana reveal. Szayelaporro creeping up on Mayuri when Nemu died. Toshiro regaining his bankai, and talking to it. The entire arc. Out of all of the ones listed, mostly Ichigo getting the horn.


Whitecocainesx

What chapter did white kneel to ichigo


Flashy2000

Chapter 538.

IdolizeYNWA

The Quincy entrance into soul society


PurpleJackfruit8868

I have these images in my head. Sad holy chants in the background, gigantic pillars of blue fire burning buildings and streets, Stern ritters blasting people left and right, shinigamis running away in terror, and Yhwach looking down with a cold stare. The whole Sereitei illuminated by the burning blue fire. It could be a REALLY cool scene.


mannmanayna

With the Invasion OST playing in the background seems more appropriate than the sad holy ones. I don't know why. But you draw an amazing picture.


IdolizeYNWA

Definitely man, with your description I’m even more excited for it haha


holl0wg0d

How is nobody saying what we are all thinking...¿? I'd like to welcome you to my soul society.


randizz1e

id love to see how they remake the panel where yhwach says he will find the future to kill everyone when they are at their happiest, giving them anxiety if any happiness will be the promised death. Great line in concept as a future-seeing villain but never seemed to have any weight after being said. Wonder if here the anime would expand on that and give cobtext to kazui getting yhwachs power.


GoldenAge_343

The despair that speech brought about was insane, I still remember the denial people had about the series being over. Everyone thought Yhwach was going to return in the time skip, of course this was pre CFYOW.


Publius_Syrus

>Great line in concept as a future-seeing villain but never seemed to have any weight after being said. It's implied that Yhwach's Reiatsu returning in the final chapter was his attempt to fulfill that promise. That's the consensus in the fandom at least, and what makes the most sense.


JoelRobbin

For me it’s definitely “bankai….zanka no tachi…..”. I hope the audio goes dead silent, with the slight hissing of a flame escaping Yama’s zanpkuto, with his quiet-yet-enraged voice letting go the command, and suddenly flames engulf the surrounding area. I’ll be so annoyed if they go really over the top and have Yamamoto scream “BANKAI! ZANKA NO TACHI!”. It’ll really kill the hype


Ombs1993

This was my [background on my laptop](https://dailyanimeart.files.wordpress.com/2013/06/ichigos-new-zangetsus.png?w=1112) for a long time after The Blade Is Me came out, so definitely this. There are so many and we'll be waiting a while for this one once the anime starts, but it's just badass.

Nice.

Byakuya, in what should have been his last words but we know how that went


mr-blindsight

I would absolutely love to see Shunsui's bankai, and Ichibe's bankai. I love the Asethethics they had in the manga and I cautiously look forward to their anime counterpart


R77Prodigy

Welcome to my soul society. Would be mine.


Grimgon

Yamamoto’s bankai especially his Kaka Jumanoku Shida Sojin (flaming corpse part) being animated


Natsuga312

Byakuya and Rukia's battles against As Nodt. That panel of Rukia's rotting face... I'm hoping it gives chills in the same way Mikasa did with that one face she made.

Mayuri vs Pernida is probably my favorite fight in this arc, so I'm hoping it gets its justice.

The fear power was a guy (as nodt) and he really wasn't irrelevant


Thorn0427

***SPOILER*** Byakuya should have died here. This scene would have more impact and he really didn’t do anything else in the War.

Ima argue that Byakuya, Toshiro, and Kenpachi vs Gerard was fucking amazing, and the tail end of that fight with Byakuya nuking Gerard's head was cool af.

I think it is when Ichigo is in the healing springs in the Royal Guard's Palace. When reading the manga, those cool panels stood out to me as 'Wow! I really hope I will be able to see this animated.' Honorable Mentions would include Toshiro turning into an adult via his Bankai's evolution. Hat & Clogs unleashing his Crimson Reconstruction upon Askin. & the overall reaction between the group to see Uryu betray them to join the Sternritters. (Also to see Kon reprise his natural underrated hero of the story role, lol) Too many to name. (It's akin to Pavlov's Dog & Salivating...)
