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.

This was just an absolutely phenomenal episode. It is insane how they managed to cram such great storytelling and animation quality into a 26-minute video, even less with the intro and outro; making me feel the same emotions as watching a movie. This episode did a great job of explaining the enemies' motivations, in this case, Haschwalth and Bazz-B. By showing us why they are fighting for Yhwach's cause and mixing their backstories with the fight scenes, it allows us to grow a connection with them. Overall, this episode masterfully combines storytelling and animation, making it a standout in the season. It not only entertains but also deepens our understanding of these characters and their motivations, leaving us waiting eagerly for what's next.

This is once again one of those episodes that shows that Thousand Year Blood War can pull off some amazibg writting and character depth, just as much as they can pull of some amazing fights... and this episode gives us both!

This episode really added another Layer to The villains, Quincies, but mostly Bazz B! Its an achievement to make me care and resonate this much with a character in just half an episode! I understood his hatred! His motivations and his actions way more than I thought I would!

The way it cuts between past and present t to show the reason behind each action was perfect! The animation was also incredible as if the creators still wanna surprise me!

In the end I was actually in tears after an episode that turned out way better than I thought!

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: Thousand-Year Blood War" Episode 12 of Core 3 masterfully delves into the complex backstory of Jugram Haschwalth and Bazz-B, offering a poignant narrative that enriches the series' depth. The episode's exceptional art direction and fluid animation bring their history to life, seamlessly intertwining past and present to highlight the evolution of their relationship. Notably, the depiction of Yhwach's assault on Bazz-B's family adds a visceral layer to Bazz-B's motivations, enhancing audience empathy.
