Friend

When I was watching this episode I remembered how I use to hate bleach and called it mode, like this is soo peak I can't believe some people are calling it mid, I never knew side characters have sad backstory 😭😭 this episode was perfect, and I even hate the anime community more because when it comes to bleach they all watch and love it but don't talk about it more 😔 this is easily the top 3 best animanga ever created I will recommend this anime to anybody who likes peak anime👍 Overall this episode was a 10/10 The story, animation, and pacing was perfect I can't wait for the last two episodes too release 😎😎

I'm not glazing here, genuinely speaking it was one of the most beautiful ep I had ever seen. The emotions the dialogues everything was so perfect. It was so emotional I'm still not recovering from it. I love how bleach always provides subtle hints instead of very vivid ones, those who do not pay attention won't ever get it but those who do, it stings like hell. Anybody would interpret here that jugo didn't care abt bazz and was very prideful of his position but the subtle hints given there such as when jugo was shaking whilst climbing the stairs and his eyes all covered with here, u get a doubt if he was sad about it but u r not sure. But at the end of the ep Jugram's poem proved that he felt pain.

It was absolutely pinnacle of fiction both story wise and in terms of animation. The execution was perfect, Tsuru and Dali Chen gave us the best episode of this cour and Yuki Sato absolutely cooked with all those amazing cuts. I could not see the episode being better. PEAK FICTION. This is not the end of the fight, or should I say not the end of this moment and their friendship. We'll see some more in future episodes and Jugram's conclusion.

All the Yhwach scenes were just outwardly with One True Messiah and Hell's Die For Our Sins OSTs. The compositing was as goof as Yamamoto vs Yhwach. It's easily a 10/10 episode.

Bleach TYBW Season 3 (The Conflict) Episode 12: "FRIEND"

First of all, what I need to declare is that for me..., Easily one my favorite episode of the Cour, and probably in the top 5 of all TYBW so far. Well done Pierrot, this was a brilliant adaptation, for Friend!

Then I would continue by saying that by now it is clear that this Friends story will not the end of Cour 3, meaning that this part will be 14 episodes long. Overall, I think this is good news and a great decision by the team. Happy news for Bleach Fans so far!!

And yeah finally we saw Jugram's and BazzB's past!

Immersing yourself in this vibrant and medieval Quincy world was an absolutely excellent experience from start to finish. I think it has great potential - it really sparked my imagination, which is saying a lot. Perhaps it goes without saying, but I would have liked to see more of it.

Obviously, this friendship wasn't the deepest or most complex we've ever seen that's for sure, but it still allowed the characters to grow in the way they needed to, and I think that was conveyed effectively. They achieved this with excellent direction, providing a very engaging story and a compact, enriching experience.

Of course, there are countless details to go into as to why this episode was so interesting, but I'll leave that to the other commenters. All I can say is that I was amazed at what I saw! It could have been longer, but it was still outstanding!

So yes, once again, another stellar looking episode. I'm excited for the two-parter next week. I'm very curious where they're going to end the Cour!

This episode was absolutely perfect! I had been eagerly waiting to see the battle between Jugram and Bazz-B. Jugram has always been a mysterious character, but in this episode we witnessed his childhood and his friendship with Bazz B.

While some might criticize the focus on a side character's backstory, I believe such moments are essential for a show like Bleach, much like Naruto and One Piece. These stories add depth and make the world feel richer.

The animation was as stunning and fluid as always, and the music and sound effects perfectly complemented the visuals, enhancing the emotional impact.

This episode was not just about action; it was deeply emotional and heartwarming, showcasing the complexity of relationships and choices. For me, it absolutely deserves a perfect 10/10 rating.
