This was all true until the Head Captain himself got into the thick of things with the newest episode. The first episode of the series took Lieutenant Captain Chojiro Sasakibe out of the series by quickly killing as a demonstration of the new enemies’ abilities, and Yamamoto has been feeling the sting ever since. Finding the one who killed Sasakibe in the newest episode, Yamamoto unleashed the full power of his rage as he now is declaring his own war on the enemy.

Episode 5 of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War sees more of the fights between the various Soul Reapers and the new Sternitter enemies, and each captain has begun to lose their nerve after many of them had lost their Bankai and are beginning to notice the gap in their power. But the Sternritter who killed Sasakibe reveals himself, and Yamamoto ends up finding this out when the opponent tries to use Sasakibe’s stolen Bankai against him.ย

It’s a powerful Bankai, sure, but after an emotional flashback, Yamamoto is angered even more as he completely obliterates this Sternritter as a way to properly mourn the Lieutenant Captain who has been by his side for a long time. Now he points his rage at the rest of the enemy, and his entry into the front lines with his show of power is enough to wind back up the rest of the Captains and gives them a much needed morale boost moving forward.ย
