VerifiedAparece el escuadrón cero e Ichigo y sus amigos son llevados para sanar sus heridas.
Ichigo es reclutado para un entrenamiento que explotará todo su potencial latente.
Un capítulo genial que muestra la desolación, la tristeza y el daño que queda luego de una masacre.
mayuri_madness_464
I loved seeing Mayuri slice his own finger off without blinking and that new Bankai is the creepiest thing in this entire arc
luka_lyrical
My stomach turned when those invisible nerves started twisting Kenpachi into a spiral but the animation was incredible
sailormochi
Seeing Pernida start to mimic Mayuri and use his own voice against him was so creepy and effective
black
Mayuri stabbing Kenpachi in the back just to get him out of the way was actually hilarious in a dark way
bazardo_blast_484
Wait, Pernida is the *Left Arm* of the Soul King? My jaw absolutely dropped at that reveal, and it makes me wonder what other parts we've unknowingly seen or will see, and what that implies for the Soul King's true power.
itachi_illusion
You have to wonder what the other Soul King parts can do if the left arm is already this powerful and adaptive
m1ndc0mm4nd3r
I was not prepared for how grotesque this fight would get especially when that giant baby Bankai showed up and started eating those nerves. Kenpachi getting his legs snapped like twigs was a huge shock and Mayuri just treating a piece of the Soul King like a science project shows how far gone he really is.
yoruichi_yukiko
Kenpachi just slicing his own arm off without even blinking was the most Kenpachi thing ever
hylian_286
Mayuri having a specialized Bankai that literally births a new version of itself to counter the enemy is pure nightmare fuel
byakuya_of_the_dreams_253
Pernida using those nerves to control the actual buildings and turning the frozen city into a weapon was a huge step up from just twisting limbs. It really put Mayuri on the defensive for a second there
rosa_sisters_276
That transition from a hooded figure into a giant multi-fingered hand with two-pupiled eyes was pure nightmare fuel and the sound design made it even worse
gen_gunpowder_159
You really see how insane Mayuri is when he treats a literal piece of a god like a common lab rat and his laughter at the end was chilling
piccolo_protector
I was stunned when Mayuri just stabbed Kenpachi in the back to stop him but it was probably the only way to keep that brute from getting himself killed
moryo_mystic_97
I lost it when Kenpachi just chopped his own arm off without blinking. That guy is a complete freak and I love him for it. Pernida is absolutely terrifying for doing that to him so fast
larxene
Mayuri using a specialized Bankai that literally gives birth to a counter for the enemy is the most twisted thing he has done and that baby is just wrong
professor_oak
I honestly wasn't ready for how gruesome this was going to get, especially when Kenpachi's legs just snapped like twigs. Mayuri's reaction to Pernida being a literal limb of the Soul King stuck with me because he just looked so happy to have something new to dissect. The way his new Bankai birthed that gold infant was haunting
zanpakuto_zephyr
Seeing Ikkaku and Yumichika absolutely losing it while their captain got mangled by an invisible force really sold the danger of The Compulsory but they should have helped him
naofumi_naysayer_149
Pernida mimicking Mayuri voice and his exact arrogant attitude was so unsettling, and you can really see the danger in how fast that thing learns to adapt during the fight
japas_282
You finally get to see the Royal Guard descend from the sky and their power level feels completely different than the captains we know
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting just past the midpoint of a 13-episode season, Episode 8 serves as the critical pivot between the devastating Wandenreich invasion arc and the next phase of escalation. The preceding episodes delivered some of the most brutal battles in Bleach history, and this installment processes that fallout while introducing new, elite-level players that will reshape the power dynamics going forward. It's the launchpad for the protagonists' next journey and the training arc to come.
