Bleach’s Thousand Year Blood War has trapped Ichigo Kurosaki in a pocket dimension, with the substitute Soul Reaper unable to assist the Soul Society during its darkest hour. As the Shinigami put their best foot forward in an effort to stop the Wandenreich, with Yamamoto facing down Yhwach, the latest installment uses some dynamic animation from Studio Pierrot and fans are still reeling. Now, Shonen fans have shared their thoughts on social media when it comes to the installment that changes the playing field forever.

Yamamoto hasn’t revealed his true power in the history of Bleach, with this recent installment seeing the elderly leader unveiling his Bankai, which helped him in bringing to life all those who had fallen before his sword. Returning as his skeleton army, Yamamoto sent his scores of victims at Yhwach, with it being revealed that the elderly Soul Reaper’s opponent was in fact a doppelganger. When the real Yhwach entered the picture, he was able to steal Yamamoto’s Bankai and used it to deliver a blow that might have just killed the elderly Shinigami and left the Soul Society without one of their strongest members moving forward.
