Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Episode #29 "The Dark Arm" Discussion - (Part 3: "The Conflict" Episode 3)!!

[OwlChemist81]

Can all the Soul King's Horses and Men put him back together again now that Ichigo has actually done the incomprehensible?

Sure doesn't seem like it...

But find out for sure at Midnight 12/13/25! Only Toonami!!

[OwlChemist81]

Interesting spot for the title screen!

And now, Jushiro's backstory

[DangerMouse]

Punched right in the gut!

[DangerMouse]

Hmmm ok, weird timing for this backstory after so many seasons.

[ben0119]

So what we saw the whole show was Ukitake supposedly healthy?!  You don't hold up your end of the deal, Mimihagi!

[ben0119]

"We will meet again, and soon."  Ukitake to Unohana.

nooooo!

[DangerMouse]

No roof anymore on their command center is funny somehow

[ben0119]

Shiro means white, and Jushiro and Toshiro both have it in their names and both have white hair, because Jushiro is ill and Toshiro has ice powers, instead of just randomly having white hair to look cool.  I love those little touches that Kubo does. 

[ben0119]

Wtf is this video?!

Seems like it wasn't supposed to make him well, just more or less froze the illness in place and kept it from getting worse the way I understood it. It governs stillness they said, right?

[saito34]

Insane bumper here..

[ben0119]

That was some Eldritch shit when Jushiro made the deal with Mimihagi, and I don't think it was intentional, but his hair turning black briefly before the black was pulled away reminded me of Ichibe taking the black from people and things.  It's crazy I am still noticing new stuff and this is probably the 4th or 5th time I've watched this. 😄

Oh, good point!  I didn't think of it like that.  Ukitake wasn't cured after all.  

[ben0119]

I still don't understand how GHOSTS can get sick!  I guess it goes back to that old explanation when Rukia and Renji were kids.  Souls don't feel hunger unless they have spiritual power, and maybe it means you can get sick, too?

But why is Yamamoto the only one who got old?  Is it from dealing with these damn kids?! 🤣

[DangerMouse]

Oh right, Unohana. Unohana really was wasted after all the "hype" unfortunately.

[DangerMouse]

Hit the choir!

[DangerMouse]

LOL trying to distract him Jean and Connie trying to distract the Colossal Titan 🤣

[ben0119]

Yeah send in Chad and Ganju. 🤣

Damn it Juha stop saying things won't work because you say so! 🤣

[Dark_Cloud_Overhead]

Guess those eyes of yours have a blind spot, eh?

[ben0119]

Poor Rukia, she can't catch a break!  First Kaien and now Ukitake.  

Something that Juha didn't see coming!

[ben0119]

LOL still following Central 46 orders even now. Fuck them.

Time to put you to work, Aizen!

[DangerMouse]

This guy lol

[ben0119]

That actually didn't make much sense.  Going by the past depictions, that guy's hands should've just vaporized without any bleeding haha. 

Crazy music!

Sudden credits run-in haha.

[DangerMouse]

Even after getting beaten Aizen's still arrogant lmao, hard to believe they left him alive.

Might be a case like Yamamoto where someone too strong had to be taken off the board, unfortunately.  I am glad we got what we got.  Some characters still never fought or used their zanpakutos haha.

Remember, the only reason Aizen wasn't executed was because he's immortal.  Though Juha seemed to think he could kill him but it would take too long. 😄

Not really weird timing if we consider that backstories can happen before impending death, if the backstory hadn't already been told before then.
