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!

I managed to cry watching this beautiful episode where literally everything was perfect: the direction, the animation, the soundtrack and especially the emotion conveyed in this beautiful episode. The entire plot from jugram and bazz b were the pinnacle of everything I've seen, in addition to the very well fitted extras and and the margins for theories make it something extremely perfect for an excellent episode, in an arc where the antagonists didn't have much depth (with exceptions), Jugram came to show that it does not fit into this select group. The voices were perfect and combined very well, the way it alternated between past and present was beautiful. It would be a It's a waste not to give this episode a 10, which in my opinion was the best of this arc so far.

"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. The climactic battle between Jugram and Bazz-B is both emotionally charged and visually stunning, showcasing Studio Pierrot's commitment to quality. This episode not only provides a cinematic experience but also sets a new benchmark for character development within the series.

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.

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.
