BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War - The Separation episode 3 review

Lol! Urahara trolling Mayuri by panicking all 'don't cut the line! I'm about to reveal how awesome I'm!' while in reality, he was just messing with Mayuri. Pretty classic Urahara to mess with someone and especially doing so to Mayuri who already hates Urahara for being a bit better than him. (Which Urahara likes to bring out, much to Mayuri's annoyance.) Luckily Mayuri still agreed over the fact they could use his lab...talk about desperate times, because in any other scenario? I bet Mayuri would have flatly refused Urahara. (Which he probably knew very well.)

Those bugs they used...reminded Mayuri's caterpillar/baby Zanpakuto...I suppose it made sense those would, but even so...ugh. ^^'

Omg! Mayuri's sunflower outfit was pulsing like a pretty rainbow. (I swear if I won't see some lgbt+ gifs or pictures of the Mayuri motif in that outfit, I think it'll be a small crime. The opportunity is just too delicious to pass by.)

I loved how Mayuri and Urahara were talking with each other about how Quincies basically fear Hollows and the fact Mayuri was all but measuring down Urahara. While Urahara was his usual, laidback self. Despite that, he appeared all serious, which I bet Mayuri saw. Even so...it was an interesting scene. Very informative and two geniuses measuring each other down (or at least Mayuri was. Hard to write about Urahara.)

The tables really turned in this episode in Shinigamis' favor, thanks to Urahara and Mayuri! And the rest of the 12th Division members' help.

Despite the fact Soi Fon's Bankai is a bit clunky and big, the animation of firing it and its bullet hitting BG9 was very cool. And once again it showed despite the fact Soi Fon's and Omaeda's relationship is a bit difficult, they work very well as captain and lieutenant. It's kind of unfortunate, though, Soi Fon's Bankai didn't seemingly change when it got briefly hollowfied...unlike Hitsugaya's.

I think Toshiro's hollowfied Bankai looked very cool! Not to mention, talk about rude, Cang Du! For not believing Zanpakuto could be a spirit of its own mind...then again, I suppose it makes sense he wouldn't believe in such thing as Quincies don't have Zanpakuto spirits or generally their own, special weapons. They just have unique powers, thanks to Yhwach... when considering that, it's a bit ironic getting 'superpowers' from mighty Quincy King makes sense and is alright, but when it's about Zanpakuto spirits, it's about faith? Oh well, I suppose it's about what one is used to. Let everybody believe in what they want to...though Toshiro truly showed the mightiness of Hyorinmaru! Not to mention, it made me snicker a bit when Toshiro apologized he couldn't make a pentagram out of Cang Du...

Yes, yes, yes!! I knew it was teased we would see Shinji's Bankai and now we finally saw it! (In manga it wasn't shown.) And man, what a treat it was! Thought it was a short clip, it was still very awesome to see Shinji's Bankai in the anime. So happy we got to see it because I always found it a bit unfortunate we didn't see certain captains' Bankais in the manga...

Not to mention, the music that hit each time Shinji was on screen? *Chef's kiss.* Classic Shinji which made the viewer feel all smoooth,

When Yhwach granted his Sternritters their Quincy Voll Stern Dich (or more like allowed them to use those once again), those looked actually very pretty. Each Sternritters' color seemed to be different, making them all stand out and be just...pretty. Yeah, deadly, but pretty.

It was nice this episode had a bit more colorful spots here and there, giving more life to the episode. While the color palette, red and light blue hues are all nice and show the viewer nicely both sides...those spots of color? It was welcomed, at least from my side.

And once again at the very end, we saw Ichigo struggling his way to that torii gate. That glimpse of Soul King...I wonder if Ichigo will find out the 'truth' about Soul King and if yes...how will that change him?

Also! Finally, in the next episode, Komamura will get his chance to shine!
