    Banger

    This episode was so good because it had great music and the animation like always was top tier. There is nothing wrong with this episode and i really liked how we got another episode with shunsui. And the fighting was epic as well so this episode is without a doubt 10/10 and i really liked how nanao played a big toll in this episode because she doesn't have alot of screen time so it was really unexpected that she would come, at least for me. They just keep releasing bangers. There has not been one bad episode in the tybw that i can think of and it is probably the best arc. So yeah over really good episode. Tybw stands right next to soul society in the podium for the best arc.

    Kyoraku and Nanao: The Brightest Duo, Completing Their Story! And it was Brilliant!

    Bleach TYBW Season 3 (The Conflict) Episode 11: "Shadows Gone"

    Shiro Sagisu has delivered one of the best anime OST of 2024! I was pleasantly surprised, and we were gifted a musical masterpiece. Thank you, maestro.

    And yes Lille Barro was weird and terrifying at the same time. The Trompete sequence was well made, thank Pierrot Films for that!

    I have to highlight Kyoraku's flashback scenes, which I think were much needed. So much was explained - his relationship with Nanao, his mysterious past, why he was wearing a woman's kimono, and why it was all important to him. A lot has been revealed about the captain-commander, and I'm really happy about it!

    Kyoraku deserves all the attention he's gotten in these episodes and maybe more - and Nanao, of course. I could write so much more about the episode, but without spoilers I'll just say: watch it everyone. It's captivating from start to finish. The visuals, the music, our characters - everything was perfect.

    And now I am excited for Friends in the Part 3 Finale!

    Soothing backstory

    Great backstory for this episode. Loved how shunsui was carrying all these things of paste safe and holding expectations. Incredible to see how a laid back person was able to hold such a responsibility of the zanpakto om his back.

    Also love how the captain is holding his lieutenant's hand for support and the care he brings for nanano.

    This episode felt like 100% faithful to the manga which was good to see. Sometimes sticking to the material is good.

    Also, I would like to appreciate the how the animation and art work was! It was stunning. Animation to emotion to story boarding nailed it quite well.

    Another emotional journey with TOP TIER action!

    Thousand year blood war refuses to slow down! It refuses to offer anything mediocre, but instead promises to deliver anything at the best possible qualigy, taking each scene, each moment and just elevates it further!

    This episode was another banger, with breathtaking action, and an emotional story, showing growth and relationship between characters!

    The relationship between Shunsui and Nanao, was the heart and soul of this episode! Nanao has come so far, and they both care so deeply for each other, that neither will let the other die! I could not help but shed a tear or two!

    OH... and that explosive attack? It was APOCALYPTIC!!
