Riruka being salty that Yukio only listened to Orihime about the chairs was such a good break from the training stress
kyurem
It was crazy how Ginjo blinded Ichigo, but seeing that white glowing form finally come out made the whole brutal training worth it
m1ndc0mm4nd3r
It was about time Orihime got a new move, and seeing her actually participate in the training makes the whole team feel stronger
jotaro_kujo_195
That new detonation shield move from Orihime is exactly what she needed to finally get some offense in
tyson_350
Chad requesting his own space to get stronger for the Tsukishima fight proves he is done being a burden, and Ichigo finally having his full power back feels massive
pierce
Ginjo is absolutely insane for making Ichigo think Orihime was in danger just to force out his spiritual pressure
mayuri_madness_464
That new Shiten Koshun move Orihime showed off is easily the coolest part of this whole training sequence
jiro_jolt_127
Yukio giving Orihime those chairs after ignoring Riruka was hilarious
viluy_384
The intensity when Ichigo got impaled by Ginjo's sword felt extremely visceral
vincent_valentine
I really thought Ginjo had actually turned on everyone until that reveal at the end
rubeus
Ginjo really went and slashed Ichigo across the face just to force him to see spiritual pressure and it actually worked
soifong_stinger
I was so mad at Ginjo for a second when he went after Orihime and then the shield exploded in his face
ash_ketchum
It felt pretty wild watching Ichigo finally complete his Fullbring after that insane pressure from Ginjo and it was huge for me seeing Orihime step up with her new shield because she is finally being proactive after all this time and Chad asking for his own room to train shows how much they both want to support Ichigo instead of just watching him fight
vasto_lorde_void
I was actually screaming when Ginjo slashed Ichigo across the eyes like that
cassidy
that new defensive shield orihime used is such a massive change and riruka getting mad about her eating donuts was the funniest part of the whole day
mewtwo_304
chad realizing his memories are messed up even without a wound is creepy and tsukishima is becoming one of the most terrifying villains in the series
armin_arlert_107
I was so stressed when Ginjo slashed Ichigo across the eyes like that and then he starts going after Orihime and Chad while Ichigo is just helpless on the floor
professor_magnolia_334
Rukia showing up at Urahara shop was the best part of the whole thing because you know the Soul Reapers are finally getting involved again
nanami_nexus
that shot of rukia at the end with the lieutenant badge on her arm would make anyone yell out loud
zero_two_zenin
I actually started to hate Ginjo for a second when he started threatening Orihime and Chad like a villain, but seeing Ichigo explode with that new Fullbring power made the whole training process feel worth it. It is crazy how much Chad and Orihime have been working behind the scenes for months and then Rukia finally appearing at the end changed everything
EPISODE CONTEXT
Sitting at episode 356 of 366, this installment is deep into the Lost Agent arc's endgame stretch, returning to canon material after the previous New Year special. It escalates the tension around Ginjō's true allegiance while pushing Ichigo closer to reclaiming his powers — setting the stage for the major revelations and confrontations that will drive the series toward its final episodes.
