Holy fucking shit that was a wild arc. Shunsui bankai, kisuke bankai, zaraki bankai, adult toshiro, yhwach, uryus anti thesis, ichigos dual zangetsu, ichibei, squad zero, the soul king, sternritter EVERYTHING was great. I do have some questions that I will be putting at the end of this text. So all the new bankai. Shunsui bankai is BADASS. This man’s is cutting people’s throats and giving you some fucking black disease that’s incurable. Zaraki bankai is really op. The drawbacks are crazy though. Especially his fight with gremmy (I’ll get into that later) was awesome. Yachiru was an amazing character. Oh how did I forget this OLD MAN YAMA BANKAI WAS LIT. Zanka no tacho north. FAM!!!. Kisuke is immediately my favorite character after is released his bankai. His ability is kinda like overhaul from my hero and the hand from Jojo. Kinda like a mix between those. Adult toshiro was a great surprise in my opinion and his abilities of instant freeze is literally rukia bankai but better. Rukias bankai is cool I guess but she didn’t do anything in her bankai which makes me extremely disappointed because her shikai was cool with her first appearance but her bankai is just “oh cool I can bring you to absolute zero, uh die goodbye”. Like at least do a slash with your zanpakto or something not just sit there.Dual wielding Ichigo was nice but his second blade looks kinda wierd. Ichibei was such a mysterious character and when he released his “bankai”( I don’t know the name my memory is trash so uhh I’m just gonna call it that since he said that his ability was pretty much like a bankai or something like that) that man was instantly in my top 10 favorite characters. Squad zero was strange to say the least. Kirio was I don’t even know cooking girl?? Straw in guys mouth dude had healing water stuff but he was okay. I AM ZANPAKTOU CREATOR NUMBAAA 1. I didn’t really like him he was kinda a dick in my opinion. Senju girl did like absolutely nothing. The soul king looks wierd but it’s kinda strange that hes just a ungaurded dude sitting In a ringpop for like thousands of years. All right STERNRITTER KIDSSSS. I HATE MOST OF THEM. Some of them are just filler villains sure but people like sternritter Z, askin nakk le var, as nodt, fat dude about love possessing kensei (I think) and a Bambi I really don’t like. Let’s start off zombie girl came back way too many times being a boring possession girl just made me feel a little uninterested. Askin dude. Fuck that guy. He nearly killed kisuke, yoruichi and Grimmjow all in my top favorites. I thought they all died before I came to this subreddit. This man’s is looking like a fake aizen (I mean okay) but then this dude was running away from Grimmjow like a weirdo. His attitude and design choice I don’t like. As nodt is a mega wierdo. He does fear stuff. The thing he did to byakuya at the beginning of the arc with the fear and made rukia turn into a skeleton. Yeah that was some nightmare fuel right there. Good thing he died my rukia. Fat dude about love. He’s just annoying that’s all. Bambi is very bizarre her ability is cool but her attitude I hate. Moving on to my favorites we have gremmy, yhwach (if he counts as one), hashwalth (however you spell his name), uryu and bazz b are my favorites. Gremmy I love. Imagination reality shit. Yea that’s a fucking busted ability. Meteors?! Damn you got some Madara shit going on. His fight with kenpachi was legendary and kenpachi in that fight was at his best. I love that. Yhwach I didn’t like for the first half of the war. (Oh uh were just gonna drop a slimy fat wet turd on the soul society and literally kill like half of your people and leave” after he got the soul Kings powers I loved him. His just strength and ability I just adore. Hashwalth (again sorry if I spelt his name wrong) his ability is dope and past with bazz B is interesting. Uryu I hated for about 99% of the war, his ability with anti thesis is badass. But he barely makes on the “I like list”. Bazz B at first I thought he was okay. But when he turned against the quincies to fight hashwalth that was a great moment. Also his moment when Renji called him a rooster was incredibly funny. His past with hashwalth is great and his abilities are just Yamamoto’s but a little bit sloppier. OH SHIT HOW DID I FORGET THIS AIZENS RETURN. aizen didn’t do much in the war but him just existing makes him badass. I loved everything about this dude and was number 1 favorite character before the war. I really wish he did more.
