Friend

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.

Jugo and Bazz spent their childhood together, but their paths diverged once they met Yhwach. They now stand against each other as enemies, but what's truly in their hearts? Meanwhile, Kenpachi Zaraki and Mayuri Kurotsuchi face off against the weirdest Quincy yet! Given Bazz-B's enduring popularity and "Friend's" strong reception among manga readers, expectations were understandably high for his animated duel against his childhood friend, Jugram Haschwalth. The fact that Thousand-Year Blood War's anime has been consistently good only made fans' hope even higher. Fortunately, "Friend"completely blew all expectations away. Regardless of the quality of Part 3 - The Conflict's coming finale is, "Friend" is easily one of the best episodes in both the cour and.

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.

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.

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 😎😎
