To build a damn training lair under the Sogyoku is insane. He definitely had to use both spacial manipulation & cloaking spells at least.. That means even in his younger days, Urahara was already competent enough to hide this all from Soul Society.. 🤯
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
Pretty much foreshadowing Kirinji's hot springs. We know for a fact Urahara knows of Squad 0 & also that Kirinji isn't opposed to teaching others.. Maybe Urahara learned directly.
Though knowing him, it's more likely he set out to replicate it to challenge himself.. #ShadzBLEACH
1 week of storing up reishi did that... Uryu was almost every bit the monster Ichigo was, from the beginning. 🙌🏽
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
Kubo really struck gold with this one. Making the body & Bankai of a mad scientist, both customisable, just opens the door for endless designs/upgrades. With almost no limits or conventions either. 👏🏽

Very excited to see 2 of my all time favourites will be airing simultaneously this summer.
Lowkey relieved that Bleach will only be 12 episodes though, since I can then pour all my focus into the bulk of Shibuya without having to split attention. 🤞🏼

Within days of entering Soul Society, Orihime had already progressed enough with her barriers to forego most of the chant. If we assume that she grew at a similar pace off screen, I'm not surprised that she was later able to cover Ichigo from far superior attacks. #ShadzBLEACH
Though I wish it was used more/better, Orihime always had hands. I think the practical application of this in series is when it feels like she comes in clutch with shields, blocking, catching.. There's definitely instincts in her lucky timing/saving etc..
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
With all the chaos already, could you imagine if this situation really turned into Byakuya vs Ukitake.
Might've been better for us in the long run. Ukitake & Shunsui coordinating with us instead of working seperately.
At least they got the Shihoin shield out of this. #ShadzBLEACH
Bruhhh the anime made it look like a harmless elbow but she really just ripped his wound open again.. 😂 Who's side are you on?! 💀
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
Although Kubo advised on the Zanpakuto designs & liked what Kudou did on some, this old Zabimaru design from him has me thinking about what other ones would otherwise not have humanoid forms & what that difference means about an individual's soul..
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
Still too early to get excited but it was so satisfying to see that expression change when Ichigo caught him. 🙌🏽
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
A nuance of Ichigo & Rukia's relationship that's lost on many -even herself- is how Ichigo's similarity to Kaien influenced her decisions to illogically & unlawfully aid him.. This also plays a subconscious part for many others throughout soul society arc. 👌🏽
#BLEACH #ShadzBLEACH
I love seeing this type of flex. Instantly elevates a character for me in terms of how cool/raw they are. No matter how dire the situation, casually taking care of their priorities at their own pace first. Taking over the scene. All else waits for me type of vibe. 👌🏽 #ShadzBLEACH
I either forgot or never realised that Yoruichi was hiding Ichigo right under the Sokyoku.. I wonder why. Even though it was in it's sealed state, they could've been using it to mask Ichigo's spirit energy.. Maybe even as a quick way to replenish it.
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
I get it. She was thinking if she's about to die anyway then at least she can go out while atoning a bit for the pain she caused the Shiba family..
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
I've always wondered whether or not she broke character here and took the chance to clown him for his loss.. Quickly, without anyone else watching/listening.. 😅
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
Just vague place holder visuals at that point but reminded me of Mariah & Galux. What a throwback
😅
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
I'm sure this is Kenpachi speaking about himself at his current max, without the eye patch. Which fits when speaking about Ichigo's unrestricted potential & further adds to Zangetsu's later line in TYBW that he restricted the majority of Ichigo's power..
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
It just clicked for me that his test to avoid becoming a Hollow had him literally try to climb out of a hole; 'literally' as well as spiritually.. Sick joke by Kubo. 😅
#ShadzBLEACH #BLEACHTYBW
Quincy form is so cool, I wish it was made canon or used somewhere. Like a future movie, novel or console game etc..
