GIovanni 0:41

episode 26. It's been a ride,

Danielle 0:46

It's definitely

GIovanni 0:47

And it's been so long, you can kind of forget that. This is really part two of the invasion. This was all part of, of u ha's plan

Danielle 1:00

I. you know, like everything else, I felt like it left us a little bit on a cliffhanger, which I guess is par for the, course with, season But for this one, I just, I didn't want a cliffhanger. I wanted, I wanted more resolution, but, um, you know, they just reeled us in and kept us for, um, part

GIovanni 1:23

To towards the end, I want talk about what I got from part 2000 new blood war because there's a couple things that. That just stood out to me and I wanna see, did you or did our listeners kind of gather the same thing? And I might be wrong, so I just wanna put it out there. But before we talk about bleach, what have you been up to? Danielle, miss Danielle.

Danielle 1:51

Oh, uh. What have I been up

GIovanni 1:54

The tea we, we we're drinking a little tea. We're, this is tea time chitchat.

Danielle 2:00

I don't know. Listen, you know, um, you like this. So I was down at, uh, coffee shop, my local coffee shop, and the guy is at the register. You know, he's just really friendly and chats, chats up the customers and everything. And he is trying to recruit me to do their So apparently there's a race coming up and, you know, he just knew that my physique you know, my athleticism was just like

GIovanni 2:37

had to have you, he had to have you, on this team.

Danielle 2:40

he had to have me on the team. Just to make sure that somebody up there PRS

GIovanni 2:49

That's, That's, I get it. I get it. And when was the last time you ran?

Danielle 2:54

that is not the point.

GIovanni 2:55

He just could tell by looking at

Danielle 2:56

the po. He could tell by looking at me that I was the one that was necessary to make the team what it needed to be. So,

GIovanni 3:04

What did you say?

Danielle 3:06

I, I told them I had to

GIovanni 3:08

You didn't think about it, you didn't think about playing hard to get,

Danielle 3:13

Yes, I had to think

GIovanni 3:14

so you want, you want,

Danielle 3:15

but I

GIovanni 3:16

a couple free coffees first, you know, a free pastry or two.

Danielle 3:19

know, that would definitely help. me make up my mind. It would definitely help. But I thought you would like that,

GIovanni 3:26

Yeah. Well, you should do it

Danielle 3:28

trials and tribulations.

GIovanni 3:30

will you have to run with anyone? Will you run with them?

Danielle 3:33

Well, it sounds like the way he explained it sounds like he's assembling, um, a

GIovanni 3:39

So it's anybody, he's just putting anybody together then.

Danielle 3:42

Uh, no, no, no, no, no, no. That's not, that's not how he explained it. They're looking for the tip top, the best of the best that comes in that coffee shop.

GIovanni 3:59

And you were it, you were it

Danielle 4:00

best of the best customers, best of the best in athleticism. And, you know, that's, that's the, that's what they're assembling

GIovanni 4:09

Well, I, I hope you do it. Running is a joy for me. I love it. I've been doing it for years and it's no satisfaction. I. I get more than crossing the finish line, but leading up training for that race is just a special because you put so much in it for training and then everything pays off once you get to the start line. So enjoy yourself when you get to the start line. That's really the best feeling like you got there.

Danielle 4:41

Yeah.

GIovanni 4:42

Finish line is, is great. Start line is just as great too. So I hope you do it.

Danielle 4:48

Yeah. Well, we'll see. I'm, I'm more worried about training and the cold weather,

GIovanni 4:53

Uh, I mean it is not that cold, you know? Do you know?

Danielle 4:59

for me to not be

GIovanni 5:01

in Kansas City, Missouri, the Kansas City Chiefs played my Miami Dolphins in negative 30 degree weather. So it's not negative 30 degrees, right?

Danielle 5:13

It's not even

GIovanni 5:15

That's

Danielle 5:15

who authorized that, who authorized that? Like, is, isn't there like a limit in terms of temperature?

GIovanni 5:23

there should, I mean,

Danielle 5:24

we have hit 10 degrees, the game is canceled. Why do we have to make it to to negative

GIovanni 5:30

because the,

Danielle 5:31

And the game's not even

GIovanni 5:32

the, NFL machine is so big that you can't stop a game because it's so much, it's literally billions of dollars into that game that goes into that game, that stopping it. I mean, it needs, uh, you know, force of nature, you know, an act of God to

Danielle 5:49

question is, who's showing up to a negative 30

GIovanni 5:52

I, I mean the, the, stadium was pretty packed. Taylor Swift was there.

Danielle 5:57

uh, I'm sure Taylor Swift was in a nicely heated

GIovanni 6:01

in a nice LIC box, but you know, to me, at negative 30 degrees. That's dangerous. I mean, for your health. And how about your eye? At what, what temperature does your eyeballs freeze and you can't see anything?

Danielle 6:17

questions and he answers.

GIovanni 6:19

Well, it's not negative 30, or, I mean, I mean, we would've saw, I, it would've been a different

Danielle 6:24

I think that's rid, I think that's ridiculous. Couldn't they just like, you know, reschedule the thing that, that, they have to go

GIovanni 6:31

I wish they would've, it would've been a, a better game. My, my Miami Dolphins didn't even want to be there. My Miami Dolphins looked at how hard the surface was, and it was like, I'm supposed to fall and wish my body for that. You know, they, they were playing flag flag football out there where the other team was playing American football. It wasn't good.

Danielle 6:54

Okay. All right. General manager Giovanni.

GIovanni 6:57

Well, you know, Miami, we, we are a good team and we could've beat Kansas City, like the Kansas City Chiefs. We could've beat'em.

Danielle 7:07

Okay,

GIovanni 7:07

But the, the weather is like the, the 12th man, right? It's, it's a entity upon itself. What can you do? Uh, you don't feel my pain.

Danielle 7:20

uh, no. I, I mean, I, I understand. I just, I'm still stuck on the, I can't believe the gaming even happened part

GIovanni 7:27

I can't either.

Danielle 7:28

Yeah.

GIovanni 7:29

now since Miami is not in the equation anymore, um, I don't know. I don't want Kansas City to win again just because they beat my dolphins. I don't know. Like it's a lot of good teams. It's four good teams. But, uh, if I had to pick, I would pick Baltimore. I would pick Baltimore

Danielle 7:50

what to to to win it all?

GIovanni 7:53

Yeah, I would, I would, uh, no particular reason, but yeah.

Danielle 7:57

Uh, I can't say I, I, I'll be paying attention at the end when OSHA performs. That's where I'll be, so

GIovanni 8:04

Now I would, I would like to see Detroit versus Baltimore. I would love to see that. Shout out to those lions, man. The lions. If you are a Lions fan, oh my God, like this is it for you. I'm for you. I'm riding with you. It's to be a Detroit fan, Danielle. They suffer.

Danielle 8:24

As They suffer.

GIovanni 8:25

They suffer. So, and I work with quite a few Detroit Lion fans who are, who they're from Detroit, and don't get them started. Okay.

Danielle 8:36

Uh, yeah. Okay. So are you ready to, uh, get into some bleach or you wanna talk about something else? Oh, no. We can jump into the episode. Uh, so we are episode part two of the finale, and this one was called Black. Now I did read that the, I guess maybe the chapter in the mango was called Blacker than Black.

GIovanni 9:04

I

Danielle 9:05

Do you, are you, you're reading the ma Yeah, the, I didn't read it, but I saw that and I wanted to know, I wonder why they changed the um, the name.

GIovanni 9:15

To be honest, I don't remember. I rem, I thought it was black. I thought it was just called black too. It was the master, but it could have been called blacker than black. Now I know why. You know, it all makes sense now. I think we kinda

Danielle 9:29

yeah,

GIovanni 9:30

it out last week too, or last episode.

Danielle 9:34

yeah. So we jump right into, um, we have the intro and we. Opened back up with, um, achie and Yuha as Yuha was unveiling his ash veen

GIovanni 9:54

Mm-Hmm.

Danielle 9:55

and all the stern Raiders have been revived from, um, when they were down bef, um, in the previous And states that like no one can deny him anything and everything belongs to him. Even the soul King's power. Oh, yeah, go

GIovanni 10:13

That entire scene just cast a different light on what was going on and how Yha is thinking. At this point he's saying that everything belongs to me. Like I'm God, I'm the God of heaven and earth. So okay, let, let's talk this out. Let's talk this out some. Okay. Because it feels biblical to an extent. And I'm just going by the Christian Bible where maybe he's saying he's like a Jesus like figure, right? That he's almost like an evil Jesus,

Danielle 10:50

well, that's kind of how he's presenting uh, with the whole, everything belongs to me. Yeah. I mean, it was, it was um, the um, did that scene. But yeah, that's, that's how he was presenting himself. Like he well, an almighty type so, Yeah.

GIovanni 11:10

And the fel, they have their Holy Wings,, except for asphalt and

Danielle 11:15

Al and

GIovanni 11:15

They don't have their wings.

Danielle 11:17

didn't have any

GIovanni 11:18

Right. And I don't know why. Do you know what, what, what's your thoughts on that? Because it seems like maybe they're

Danielle 11:26

any, but we didn't see any from,'cause uh, we didn't see any from, Pernita

GIovanni 11:32

Yeah. Nita had his

Danielle 11:33

initially either.

GIovanni 11:34

yeah, Nita had his wings. I don't know about initially, but we did see them.

Danielle 11:39

I mean, eventually, but I think, um, like what we're talking about right now, I, I'm not sure if we um, We cut to the battle and that resumes from, um, before, so we have, uh, osu and he's hit with a shot from

GIovanni 11:58

Yeah.

Danielle 11:59

Uh, he thinks it's like a new power. But he, he explained Legia Barro, you know, when they do the monologues and they explain their power, and the power is called the X

GIovanni 12:10

If you know geometry, that there's like these Cartesian coordinates, right? It is just two dimensional and there's three dimensional. X is horizontal and Y is vertical,? Then there's a Z sometimes too for 3D. If you play Minecraft, you should know that. So the coordinates, the coordinates are in two positions, structures that zero, and they can be anywhere else, and that's what his power is. So the lines all infinite, but his power off from one coordinate to the next coordinate, which, uh, I don't know, At first, at first thought, I'm like, okay, he's just a good shot, right? That at first glance,

Danielle 12:59

Just like a dead shot. But, um, yeah, you know, as he explains, it's a force. It's not, he doesn't use bullets. It's a force That penetrates everything between the muzzle of and the target, and it cannot be blocked,

GIovanni 13:16

Now this is crazy because when he, before his, uh, holy form, I think he was using rei, and now it's just, it's not even REI anymore. it's just, a force.

Danielle 13:32

Okay, but my question was, so he had this all along, so why wouldn't he use this instead of using REI

GIovanni 13:41

Well, I think it just takes time for them to use their holy form. Just like using Bonai.

Danielle 13:46

I guess, but I mean, I feel like, I feel like, you know, we've been in a few critical stages even before this I, I felt like, you know, if you had this on you,

GIovanni 13:58

Well,

Danielle 13:59

it's like,

GIovanni 14:00

here's the thing. First of all, I, I was exactly where you were until this fight. I think that two things, one, the Oline did power him up. Like he always had the power, but the oline not only does it, did it resurrect him, it gave him a boost. And, and second, these fights were back and forth, so. The squat zero, they're not showing their hand, they're not doing their major powers yet either. Right. They're just going tick for tack and, and adjusting accordingly until both of them show their hands and which one's the stronger hand win? That's just how I

Danielle 14:39

well, I guess that's a, I guess that's a good point.'cause I mean, yeah, we have been back and forth, around and around in terms of who has the upper hand. So I, I guess so. So he's just been hold, holding his back, essentially?

GIovanni 14:53

So, OSU is in trouble because he's been shot and he's dying. I love, I love his 21st century vernacular. It's definitely like a African American vernacular. Right,

Danielle 15:04

Uh, that's what they were going with, I suppose.

GIovanni 15:08

yeah,

Danielle 15:11

Um,

GIovanni 15:13

So I I mean, I like it. I like it.

Danielle 15:15

yeah, I mean, it's, he's, no, he's funny. He is funny, you know, The um.

GIovanni 15:24

and, he's the defacto leader. He's the defacto

Danielle 15:27

I understand. But I

GIovanni 15:28

squad zero,

Danielle 15:29

the, the, exaggeration of the vernacular, it's, it's a little side ish, but he is funny. He is funny and, you know, he, he provides a lot of, um, lightness and comedic timing and the whatever But, yeah, he is in trouble'cause he got shot in the shoulder initially and then, um, when they couldn't, when, uh, Tenger and Curio tried to block the next shot and couldn't, he got shot through

GIovanni 15:58

right.

Danielle 15:59

and now he's down uh, San Jamara jumps right in and they like, um, move him, grabs him up and shoots off with

GIovanni 16:10

He spurts him away

Danielle 16:11

Yeah. And quickly repairs

GIovanni 16:13

fills his holes with clouds. Right, with cotton like

Danielle 16:18

and and some, some kind, like some netting and, um, I guess it's because she,'cause she sews and she's fabrics. It might be like a cotton like substance.

GIovanni 16:29

Yeah, that's what I'm saying. It's like a piece of cotton, you know, that seems to heal him And

Danielle 16:33

And repairs him and he seems to rejuvenated. So Squad zero seems to have multiple ways of like, uh, reinvigorating themselves very quickly.

GIovanni 16:44

This, the force of the shot that, or that Le Lee j Barrow uses is so clean. It's almost like. The whole, like the, his ex axis just, Eliminates the entire space because there's no, there's no residuals, no hanging skin. It is just holes in him

Danielle 17:06

straight through you

GIovanni 17:08

through you That's a, that's a tough power. That's just pretty good.

Danielle 17:15

so he's revived thanks to Sanja Maru. And so Squad Zero quickly rallies and you know, it's like they say squat up form up, and so they're ready to take the gloves off, gets serious and Kerio makes a um, cage and the fight, the, the fighting we

GIovanni 17:38

they, work really good together. Squad zero, you can tell they're, they're in sync. Because once you see OX who's down, then Ey saves him. Once he's down, Maru, she saves

Danielle 17:54

Send Jamara. Yeah.

GIovanni 17:56

They work well together right now. Better than Theta.

Danielle 18:02

So, um, we get a, a few one-on-one fights. And so we have, um, OSU and Lija Barro, and we see he's having a great time, like dodging shots from

GIovanni 18:15

Asking n LeVar is so fun. He, you don't supposed to like any of the stern Ritter, but it's hard not to like asking n LeVar, isn't he he's just so, so laid back and cool and yet powerful. Frightening too. But he is, he is only becoming one of my favorite characters to watch.

Danielle 18:36

he can, he is, he's relatable,

GIovanni 18:38

Yeah.

Danielle 18:39

you know, so we, he is in a one-on-one with Ro and, um, ROS blasting him with blood pond water. And while asking runs away.

GIovanni 18:52

he's blasting it with blood pond water. Oh. Flash back to episode 25. Right. How do you fight with blood pond water? But I digress. Continue,

Danielle 19:03

Okay. To stop picking at that one, um, we see Gerard Valkyrie and, uh, Sanja Maru, and they're going back and forth trying to stab each other and we also see Kerio and Pernita and yeah, she's attacking him with her roots. So we have a lot of one-on-ones

GIovanni 19:23

They're turning it up a notch. way.

Danielle 19:25

They turned it up a notch. Yeah, they said they were gonna get, start to get serious and this, so they, they upped the ante. And so like we said before, tables have turned again. Here, here we are. And So they're back on top So we jump right on over to yha and ibe and so we see IBE is mocking

GIovanni 19:48

He

Danielle 19:48

and uh, yeah,

GIovanni 19:51

it's still, as you said before, like, he's not taking this fight seriously. And you would think

Danielle 19:57

no.

GIovanni 19:58

it, it kind of

Danielle 19:59

with a child or something.

GIovanni 20:00

He said he was been taking it easy on you. Ha. I cut your power in half because I don't want you to be beaten at full strength. This is hubris, right?

Danielle 20:13

Yeah. Yeah.

GIovanni 20:15

Pride comes before the fall. Did he not see what happened to Yamamoto?

Danielle 20:21

that usually, that's usually how that I, I, I don't have the foresight in reading up on maybe how

GIovanni 20:29

Ah, yeah, that's right.

Danielle 20:32

you know, I mean, we can see the setup.'cause I mean, if we're going back you know, he has the, the upper hand right now and you know, until this thing is over, it's not over, essentially. so He launches his attack. Now, I would love to be able to say this attack's name, but, but you know, I'm just gonna mess it up

GIovanni 20:56

Okay,

Danielle 20:57

and,

GIovanni 20:57

the the, secret hot on number three, is that the one you're doing where you.

Danielle 21:00

his, the, no, he, he had a, he his initial attack, uh, that you yuha put the dome up for with the

GIovanni 21:09

Right. but that's, that's the secret huddle number three, which he did say a word for.

Danielle 21:12

Right. That was next though. So he did one first. That, that was the do. And then Yuha had the shield with the dome, and then he did secret hato number three. think that's how You say it. Did I say that right?

GIovanni 21:26

Sure.

Danielle 21:27

You know, I'm terrible. I try to find the, um. But anyway, so he ibe then launches secret haa number three. He unleashes this like fiery puffed up,, um, version of himself that spits out a ball of fire.

GIovanni 21:46

that's, it. Seems like he, that's another one of his abilities is to. Unleash animated versions of him, whether it is his fist, his, uh, face blowing fire, or his feet stomping. That's a great power of, of his. And it is, it is very fun to watch. It's kind of, he seems to celestial too, to an extent.

Danielle 22:10

a little. And that, that animated version of him, he didn't look kind like a Japanese dragon type look to it. Where Yeah. With the, you know how they always have the weird face.

GIovanni 22:22

Oh, one, like the, the mask they have, like in Dean Slayer.

Danielle 22:27

And Then he, uh, grabs Yuha by the neck while Yuha sends out his, um, is it, he calls it. his blue vein. Is that I saying that

GIovanni 22:39

right. The, the, uh, blue fan. Yeah. That's his defense. That's one of the defenses he uses. And, uh, he tries to infect Osho, but Osho rejects it. He rejects it and pushes it back into Yuha. So this back and forth is back to Osho again. Looks like he's winning the fight. Uh, Osho is, he's very frightening at this point.'cause not only is he overconfident, we know that he has, he has a play. He has a Trump card. We don't know it yet, but Yuhas, he's in a lot of trouble. This is when we get the incantation from Osho. Paint it black and his brush. Well, he says paint. Paint it. Black Ichie. No.

Danielle 23:36

so yeah, IBE um, offended by him trying to hit him with his power He did blast. He sent the blast back causing Yuha to have an explosion in his like face or whatever. And then he, he paints the black line across and says, paint it black, which does unleash his ichi. And Yuha turns and looks Seeing Theto,

GIovanni 24:02

Right. His toe is, is, it's going back and forth. It's going from a brush

Danielle 24:07

it looks like a

GIovanni 24:07

a blade. I don't know what type of power that is, but I guess, well, I guess we do.'cause it cuts, it's a brush that cuts, and later on he, he dives a little deeper into that.

Danielle 24:19

said that, You He was mocking Ichi's Pac to and is about to unleash his sword, but realizes he can't say his swords name. And I guess, has splattered him and his sword with

GIovanni 24:36

That's right.

Danielle 24:37

and anything that the ink splatters loses its

GIovanni 24:41

his sword was totally black. He was, that's exactly what he was doing. He was painting his sword black and now his sword, which it had a name. It, it's the sword that cut on Yamamoto. It's just, it's nameless now. And you know, there's power in names. There really are. I believe that. That's why, you know, we kind of name our children, hope and Faith and Destiny and Ray and Rayna. I think that's King and Queen in Spanish. So we, we give these names because they stand for something that the names are powerful, but that his sword has no name. So how can he hurt Ichi Bay, Osho with a weapon with no name? How do is, is that deep or is that, is that surface? What do you think about that?

Danielle 25:34

Uh, I mean, you know, you know, I have a,

GIovanni 25:37

Uh oh,

Danielle 25:38

I'm not on board with it. Itchy base splatter, losing the cut in half, lose losing your name or losing your power thing. It's all know? you know, I, I'm rocking with it, so I, I'm, I'm rocking with it. Yeah, it's it's cool to look at and, um, just like all the imagery that we're seeing, I do wonder how they, managed convey that in the manga.'cause I mean, we, we are getting a lot of imagery, so I, I'm sure that took a lot to really like put that on page. we? Oh, So we're back to the fighting and, uh, send you We see is getting knocked to the ground by Gerard Ly Valkyrie and being stomped on. We still have the, all the one-on-ones taking place. Um, p Pernita is trying to capture Kerio with his, um, v and wings slash arms. We see

GIovanni 26:44

You, did mention last week that Pernita could have been the person to affect the the uh, first cell, like the first cage, the way it withered away. So it looks like the way he was withering away, her, her twigs. I mean, you may have been right about that.

Danielle 27:03

Uh, we see NAK. LaVar has, um, turned the tables on 10 Ro who was chasing him by tricking him Green

GIovanni 27:16

What was that?

Danielle 27:17

he manages, I, I We, we, that wasn't clear. I figure maybe it was some power of his, but I don't know what that was. But he managed to, um, get the one up on him. And he stab him

GIovanni 27:31

He had this Quincy bow and arrow and he just shot him up close. And, uh, it's a powerful shot. It's a good play, good play to pretend to be weak when you're really strong. That's all the war type stuff,

Danielle 27:46

And um, OSU is mocking, uh, Barra for not being able to shoot him while UJA is like in his line of sight. Sight. But I mean, he obviously still hasn't grasped how this power works because, you know, he shoots him anyway.

GIovanni 28:04

right.

Danielle 28:05

You know,'cause he, he doesn't seem to understand that it doesn't matter what's between him and the target, the target's still gonna get

GIovanni 28:13

right. and this is going back to the coordinates in the X since you have a start and the end, right? It's not an infinity shot. If his eye marks you as the target, that's the end. The force will go no further, but oed, so, uh, I don't know. Maybe he was in pain. He missed that part, so,

Danielle 28:35

He just wasn't paying attention. so, you know, noticeably, noticeably missing in all these one-on-ones, where is, uh, Al and because we, you know, when Curios Cage close up, we, we just lost track of them. We don't know. Haven't seen them. I don't know what they're doing. We haven't seen them

GIovanni 28:59

That's a very good thought. Like they're just sitting, sitting back and watching, taking notes.

Danielle 29:05

waiting, uh, conserving their power. I, I

GIovanni 29:09

Maybe they're watching the fight And kind of developing a plan, a plan of attack. They're saying, okay, this guy's fighting this way. It, I don't know. I don't know. but it is. That's a very good point.

Danielle 29:22

And then we zoom back to, um, we have all this back and forth of um, back to the main fight, which is Yuhan. Aachi, a Chibe. we see that Yha has managed to steal, achieve its black

GIovanni 29:37

Ichi Bay or o show's beard is all white. It seems like that's one of his powers, to steal someone's power. Unlike what they did with, with the sores, with the soul Reapers, where they use a medallion to steal it. Yha just has the ability to steal your power, or is it the same thing?

Danielle 29:57

It might be the same. Um, I, don't know.

GIovanni 30:00

I I don't know either. I would just say that's just one of u ha's power since he seems that powerful maybe.

Danielle 30:07

Yeah.

GIovanni 30:08

But I would say this, the back and forth is really good. No one has an upper hand yet. Every time it seems like squad zero's up, theta comes back and just when Theta's about to do the the killing blow. Squad zero makes a, a comeback, so it seems like it's an even fight. We haven't seen any major plays yet, I guess we're still waiting for something to happen to the end of chapter in this fight.

Danielle 30:40

So we, we are back again to squad zero. And, uh, we see that everybody's then, uh, osu, uh, Nehemiah, he stands up you know, he's really calling for squad zero to like, rally

GIovanni 30:57

yeah.

Danielle 30:58

We're about to do this thing, you know,

GIovanni 31:02

And again, Oso seems like the defacto leader of this group.'cause he's telling everyone else what to do and how to fight. Squad zero they all stand up. Rally themselves injured or not, which is a good in indication that there's another play

Danielle 31:19

well, we're about to see it because he is talking about how we really even haven't seen any of them full strength in any capacity yet. And, um, he takes the sword and points to send Jamara and tells her she's the one that's about to kill them

GIovanni 31:39

Okay.

Danielle 31:39

And so they about to get, you know, they're getting serious

GIovanni 31:43

Yeah, I like that idea of Sinja Maru, Ru being the one to do it, because she's the only one I've seen who's seemed capable. So far. I'm not down with the blood pool, the red pool, white pool. I'm glad it's not the other guy. Cor,

Danielle 32:02

she is between, between her and tsu. they're the only ones that seem, and I, I, we don't know'cause we haven't gotten the full scale of everybody's power on Squad Zero yet. But they're the only ones that seem like they, you know, they cut first, ask questions later. Like Carrio is, is dealing with roots and things. And Ro even though he's, you know, he's like a tough guy. You know, he's dealing with blood ponds and water and all this stuff. They're the you know, come in with blades. Immediately to cut you. So,

GIovanni 32:39

right there. Others,

Danielle 32:40

that, you know, they have a lot of blood on their hands

GIovanni 32:44

it seems like, like one fights with a soothing bad and the other one fights with a garden, right? Spriggs in the garden, you

Danielle 32:53

And they're the only ones that's like, you know, the master of the toes. Of course he's cutting you you know, or, and then send you, send you Mario with her, um, her needles and Yeah. So, so she's up, she's the one that's been elected and, you know, we get an explanation, um, as to how we're about to maybe a little bit of the full scope of their power. And so they perform this ritual.

GIovanni 33:24

Right.

Danielle 33:25

Suicide.

GIovanni 33:26

Right. They all like severely injure themselves

Danielle 33:29

three of, Uh, osu, uh, Rio and 10 Giro slashed themselves Sacrificing themselves and releasing from The blood the

GIovanni 33:39

Since this blood pack isn't there, this, this means that Ji Maru is able to unleash her bonai and this bon kai is, I thought it was very clever. It was so beautiful. It was so majestic. I, I had no idea what was happening until it was finished. And what it seems like is it's a gigantic Japanese loom where there's cloth and almost like she is sewing a tapestry. Type of thing. Like, because this is gigantic, it's first it looks like a chariot even, And until the, until the, um, the patterns start to unfold. And the, uh, how she said the hanks, the hanks of, of, of yarn. It was just fantastic to watch.

Danielle 34:39

And within each of these hangs the is a Quincy who is being defeated by her in, in, in some form or fashion. And, um, and you know, when, when she unveiled this bonai, like all the world shook.

GIovanni 34:59

Right.

Danielle 35:01

Yeah. They all like shook and everybody down below could, could, could, feel it. So yeah, they really did a good job on this. It was. really, um, very cool to look at. And, you know, she's covered in blood while doing this. Unveiling the bonai

GIovanni 35:19

like that?

Danielle 35:20

Well, you know, you know, I like when they can get like you, you know. Yeah.

GIovanni 35:27

So when, when she, when she used a bonai, it was in the cage, and immediately it kind of reconstructed that cage until like a, like you ever seen the movie The Raid, where there's layers and on every layer there's a mini boss to try to get there. It's like she separated them on every layer with, I guess, as you say, a Hank and, uh, oh man, who thought of this? Who thought of this

Danielle 36:03

I don't, I don't know, but it's very creative. Uh, I mean, I, I figured maybe they did a lot of, um, referencing someone took to the history books, Japanese history books to make sure they got, kind of got it right a little bit in terms of you know, like the patterns of the hangs, like the patterns of the fabrics and, yeah.

GIovanni 36:25

yeah, It reminded me of Roses Bonai, without it

Danielle 36:29

Oh yeah, yeah,

GIovanni 36:31

You know

Danielle 36:32

yeah. Or even the, the, um, you know, that feeling you get of the imagery when You see, like bianchi's bonai

GIovanni 36:42

just like that.

Danielle 36:43

Yeah. You know, that kind of feeling with all the, um, what, what do you have cha cherry blossoms.

GIovanni 36:49

Cherry blossoms like a Hall of Swords.

Danielle 36:53

Right. So that kind of reminded me of, of that. that feeling a little bit,'cause his, his is always really nice to look at and, you know, it's, it's, it's a big, it's a showy Yeah. they all, um, send you my roommate quick work those. oh. And we we, we said the Quincy, but that included. Al and uu,

GIovanni 37:19

they did not escape this

Danielle 37:21

they did not escape this. bonai

GIovanni 37:23

Did you, uh, get a good understanding of what every Hank was?

Danielle 37:28

Um,

GIovanni 37:28

Let's talk about Hank one with Lee Barrow.

Danielle 37:34

All

GIovanni 37:34

Uh, so Lige barrow is in a room and if it,

Danielle 37:40

He's the one that had the

GIovanni 37:41

the eyes, yeah. She always leaves it by unravel Hank and she says, Don, gaze on the eyes and Legi barrow fires his weapon. I guess he gaze on, on the eyes. Anyway, he, he shoots the, the clock, but they don't damage the cloth. Those bullets, the holes appear in him. So. he has eight random holes in his body. I think he's dead. I think he's dead.

Danielle 38:13

he, he, with that gun, he shot himself with his

GIovanni 38:16

He shot himself. Yeah.

Danielle 38:18

he was the target. He was the target. And he said, and as as He says, you know, he doesn't miss, so

GIovanni 38:24

Did the eye change the focus of the X axis and pour it back to him?

Danielle 38:30

Uh, well, like, I think, yeah, like there it was just reflection. Like I could reflected back at him? I think? that's what it, what that was like. Um, yeah, kind of like a mirror. He just, it was just at himself. So then he shot himself

GIovanni 38:44

shot himself several times and he had like gaps spaces in his body. So he is in bad shape. The other ones, I question some of the other ones, are they really that hurt? But he's in bad shape, like he's injured. He's really injured. So unravel Hank two is asking NLA bar and he's standing in this room and the room becomes spikes. The floor becomes spikes first. Then the ceiling and walls, and then they enclosed on him crushing him,,

Danielle 39:20

He got crushed in some spikes.

GIovanni 39:22

right. So he seems really damaged too, because the floor spikes went through his foot. He's, I don't know if he's dead, but he's really injured. Unravel three, Hank three bows of Black Sand

Danielle 39:37

was that

GIovanni 39:38

pernita. And he's just, he's covered and smothered in Black Sand. That's the one where I'm like, eh, he,

Danielle 39:46

It was too weak.

GIovanni 39:48

I, you know, I don't think that's the end of Pernita. It just didn't seem like it's

Danielle 39:52

Yeah. Well, I mean, but we still, you know what, he's the one, one of the main ones there too them, but him, and I'm saying him loosely, but, um, we we have no, we don't really understand the scope of his power to any extent to me anyway. Not yet. So I am assuming that's on

GIovanni 40:12

absolutely.

Danielle 40:13

And so like, maybe he's just like a a, a Trump card they have there'cause we're, we're not getting what exactly Pernita can do and what he is about.

GIovanni 40:24

I agree. Unravel Hank four, Gerald Valkyrie. He see these pretty patterns of cloth and the cloth sticks to him, grabs him, and it eventually freezes him in place. My main thought is he's not dead. He's not dead to me. To me, Giovanni, and I know my enemy. I know how these fights work. If you're not shattered, you're still alive.

Danielle 40:56

he is still alive, which, I mean, I wonder why sh he's not dead. Why she wouldn't just be taking them all out

GIovanni 41:06

Well, I mean, I think she thinks he's dead. I don't think he's, dead because he's, the body didn't shatter. So every other time I've seen someone freeze

Danielle 41:19

They

GIovanni 41:20

till Harry Bell froze, so,

Danielle 41:23

we are knocking them down and shattering them to pieces, they're gonna unfreeze. right.

GIovanni 41:28

You know, it's like the soap operas, like, unless if you die off screen, you're really not dead. You're gonna come back

Danielle 41:35

That car crash and we, we didn't find the body

GIovanni 41:38

Exactly, you're coming back.

Danielle 41:39

yeah,

GIovanni 41:40

But you know, if there's a funeral and that's your body, you're not coming back. So that's my thoughts on that. Uh, unravel five. Okay. I'll let you talk about that.

Danielle 41:52

No, I was um, alt, um, and he just found himself in like flames in like a room of, uh, red cloth full of flames that's, uh, catch fire and set him on fire. So, and he's just like taken out. You don't think he's done

GIovanni 42:12

The body did not incinerate, so it did not fan, fan to Ash.

Danielle 42:18

So since Jamara is doing a terrible job, then,

GIovanni 42:22

you

Danielle 42:22

that what we're saying?

GIovanni 42:23

that's, I'm saying that, and I mean. I just don't think he's dead. I have my doubts. The last one? I don't get either.

Danielle 42:35

Was Oreo

GIovanni 42:36

Ariel Star, the star of the night, what do you call it? Uh, the starry Night ain five. Where his soul just taken from his body. Is that what happened

Danielle 42:48

uh, that's, I mean, that's kind of what it looked like. He,'cause she had him forced To his knees and I guess it's like it's absorbed it all his ratio or something. So I, I dunno, he's probably not dead either,

GIovanni 43:03

he's, I don't think he's dead, but then she cuts her cloth

Danielle 43:06

didn't do what she was supposed to do. Yeah,

GIovanni 43:08

and she has her tapestry like it's done. And it's so great to see, I think it's like six or seven Quincy design a stern with design.

Danielle 43:20

Although we don't think they're dead in terms of just taking everybody out, she did that effectively,

GIovanni 43:28

It was, really good, really good.

Danielle 43:30

It was, yeah, it was, well, it was well

GIovanni 43:32

and mind you, this was not in the manga or manga. It was not there, not from where I am not there. This did not happen. This didn't happen, or this didn't happen yet, And I, I don't think it happened. I don't think it happened at all.

Danielle 43:51

they, they, they did all new

GIovanni 43:54

This was brand new.

Danielle 43:55

Okay.

GIovanni 43:56

That's why I was like, what? Are you kidding me?

Danielle 44:01

Okay. So then all the, um, all the manga people were really tripping up probably

GIovanni 44:06

They loved it. They loved it because it's even better when you don't know what's gonna happen next. So I guess the next thing we have is the yha and also fight

Danielle 44:17

Yeah.

GIovanni 44:18

Yuha is feeling kind of bold now. He walks to to Osho because he's taking his power, right? He's feeling kind of bold about himself, but that's not the end of Osho. Osho now, has his power back, has the color in his beard back, and proceeds to splash black ink all over Yha. He looks like a, a, like if I'm an artist and I'm drawing a character and I don't like it and I just scratch all over it, that's what Yuha is now. He's like a, like a scratch.

Danielle 44:54

just scratched them all out. Right. But you can see like all the black, that's, you know, and the all the black is rising from this is, this power is serious.

GIovanni 45:03

own the color black. Yeah. I didn't, I didn't notice that as much, so I'm glad you brought it up. But Yuha looks like, he looks like nothing, like scribble. He goes on about it.'cause he says your name isn't even really yuha anymore.

Danielle 45:19

Nope, he's giving him a

GIovanni 45:20

This is why Osho Ichi babe was so confident because his Sam told can erase and redeem. This isn't Yha or you ha you her Baha. Or Yha. This is scratch. But he does give him a new name and you was about to say his new name, right?

Danielle 45:44

Oh. Uh, well, essentially Black Ant. He's calling, calling him a Black Ant,

GIovanni 45:51

Yuha. Baja. I'm sure Yuha didn't think it was gonna get this bad either. he's a nothing Osho His God-like power.

Danielle 46:04

and stuff, so He has like this giant foot that like stomps on him.'cause now I guess he is, you know, he is like an ant

GIovanni 46:13

Right.

Danielle 46:14

and,

GIovanni 46:14

So pops him down

Danielle 46:18

out, like he's stomping out a bug. So,

GIovanni 46:19

and Yuha descends from the, the royal palace defeated and coated in black. Looked like a, a bad design that the artists forgot about

Danielle 46:33

No scratched out.

GIovanni 46:34

Ryan. And that pretty much ends it. But that's not all.'cause we get calm.

Danielle 46:43

Oh yeah. Yeah. So we get some end credits of, cone doing his cone thing.

GIovanni 46:52

As Coach said, he came to make it more lively'cause it was just doom and gloom for so long. And he was redoing scenes that happened previous scenes and just injected himself in there along with the scene. So it was pretty light and funny. I didn't like it at the time, like first watch, I wanted to see a preview of what was going to happen.

Danielle 47:16

Yeah.

GIovanni 47:16

But second watch Cone was kind of funny. It's hard not to like cone.

Danielle 47:22

and we also some rukia, Regi, Um, they were just that, uh, Bakia was And I guess he's back to, he's recovered somewhat. And then there was chatter about, gotten what took place in there, but some of the chatter described them having to strip down and, yeah. Feeling very, were saying? how did you,

GIovanni 47:51

No, it was just comedy. It was just comedy. But what, talking about stripping naked and, Uh, Regie seeming vulnerable and not wanting to show him his, his man parts. I mean, it is, it is all funny. And that's what it was for Cone just took these scenes, to lighten it up,

Danielle 48:06

Uh, you know, I mean, it was all fun, but I could've used some little, maybe some extra information for, for just I'm, I mean, I'm like greedy for the information. Just like, what, what are we doing? I, I mean, I like cone cone's funny,

GIovanni 48:22

Do you see what's happening

Danielle 48:23

we don't, we don't need cone right here. We need, like, we need a little something. What's happening. Maybe we could get a little background into May's plan or Keith Case they could have given me something else. uh, I mean, But all, all in all, though, it was a great

GIovanni 48:39

Before we go into best and worst, I want, I wanna talk about some things that I took from this season and just in general where I think we're going to go. For instance, Yuha, they had a flashback of pre him previously talking with Osho, and he had those eyes, those, those split pupils. And it seemed like that is his ultimate power, right?

Danielle 49:07

Okay.

GIovanni 49:08

Those eyes not only are shared by the Soul King, they're showed by Ichigo. Now, now we know that Osho took those eyes from, Yuha. So Yuha doesn't possess his major power now, but Ichigo does, which is, which is pretty cool. We don't know how he's going to use it, but it's pretty cool. So not only did Yamamoto lose to Yuha Baja, he lost to him without his, his major power, without his version of his bonai of a bonai. This shows the gap between Yamamoto and Yuha. And I'm not sure the first time they fought that he had. His main power as well, because it was taken from him by, uh, the So King's left hand,

Danielle 50:03

Yeah. and say that out. yeah. It just also shows the gap between Yamamoto and like squad zero because, when Unveiled his like full, and that, that was so fiery and so powerful and felt very world ending you know, they could probably still beat him. And they, and like we just saw, they hadn't even unveiled any of their full strength

GIovanni 50:34

You don't think Yamamoto could beat, uh, ey.

Danielle 50:39

Well, that's what I'm saying. I'm, I would, I would've said that, I would've said that he could, but I, I am. But what we are seeing now, we're seeing Yeah, we're going back and forth having, even though they're having a back and forth upper hand, they're still kind of besting, yuha and the Quincy right now. I mean, it may turn around again, but Yama Moda wasn't really

GIovanni 51:04

That's true. But Danielle, I feel as though if, Yamamoto did not have his bonai stolen, I, he might have been, he might have been able to beat this version of Yha. I think so. Like those flames produced everything to dust. I mean, it's, it's, I

Danielle 51:25

well, uh, I mean, Yeah, I mean maybe, but it's,

GIovanni 51:28

he sucked the entire

Danielle 51:31

Yeah, it felt very, that's what I'm saying. Like, I, I would, I wouldn't even have said anything Like this before.'cause his, his, it said it felt very world ending. like, okay. He's not, he's like, scorched earth, we're taking you out. don't know. Like, I mean, it just seems like it's showing up a power difference to an

GIovanni 51:53

Well, there is a power difference there. There, there is a power

Danielle 51:56

to convey. So I know.

GIovanni 51:59

Well, in second, these are the things I kind of wanna see in part three because they keep teasing us with Eisen and E's not in play yet. And I don't know why he's, he shouldn't be in play now, but the way it's going, you might have to make put him in play.

Danielle 52:20

Yeah.

GIovanni 52:21

I want to see the Bon Kai from Yuki talk. I do, I want, I want to see I want to see him unleash and I mean, I think we're gonna see a lot of it. I think we're gonna see a lot of different things in part three.

Danielle 52:37

Well, I'm looking forward to it. don't, I don't, they haven't given any, um, release dates as of yet, but, uh, we'll be on the lookout.

GIovanni 52:49

Yeah. I, wanna see Grim JI want to see, it's just a lot of things that I want to happen.

Danielle 52:54

There's a lot of things, yeah. Lot of characters to touch on, lot of things to, um, to happen. Lot of questions that need answers,

GIovanni 53:02

Right. Some of execution was in there too. It's, there's so much, and we only have 13 episodes, so it's gonna be action packed. From start to finish. So let's, let's wrap this up. Let's hurry up and do ratings and best and worst.

Danielle 53:24

Okay. I'll, I'm gonna give this episode a 9.5.

GIovanni 53:29

I was gonna say the same thing.

Danielle 53:31

Oh, um, yeah, I, I mean, I think this episode had all the things that we, like in the episode we had comedy with OSU and his antics and lots of action. Lot of like a few jaw dropping moments with, um. Sanja Maru and her Bon Kai reveal. So, and then just the back um, yeah, I think this episode gave us a lot.

GIovanni 54:00

I wanna rate mine just a little lower than 9.5. I'd probably go 9.3 cause I, I'm gonna save that high rating 9.5 for later on. Hopefully it gets better, as there's a lot in this episode. I think Shinji, Maru, Bonai. May have saved this episode, her bonai gave us, made me want to rank it higher because it was such an illustrious bonai. The defeat of yuha or perceived defeat kind of helped it too. And it was tons of fighting back and forth, back and forth on such a high level. But, but maybe it was too high. Maybe it was too high for

Danielle 54:41

Too high.

GIovanni 54:42

Well, too abstract. Maybe the fighting was just too abstract for me. I preferred the lower level, the lower level soul reapers or like the captain fights. Or, you know, ous fight with, with was to me, that was probably the best episode of the season.

Danielle 55:03

Hmm.

GIovanni 55:03

You know, just

Danielle 55:04

good. That was a good episode.

GIovanni 55:06

that episode right there. And I don't know if I ranked that, uh, nine

Danielle 55:11

Yeah. I don't remember what I gave it, but um, that, was a really

GIovanni 55:14

So still it was still good and it's worthy of the 9.3, but the fighting, I feel like it was just so abstract and not a, not physical enough for me or jaw dropping. So, still good though. So, I mean, to roll into the best I can go into the best,'cause I wanna say it first. And it's St. Jim Marrus, Japanese Loom.

Danielle 55:47

Oh, of course. That's

GIovanni 55:48

Her bonai was, I mean, it was astronomical. It was beautiful, imaginative. They saved this one. They saved this one, and it was such a pleasure. She had cloth and she weaponized her, her what she called it her hanks. Yeah, she weaponized her Hanks. You can't beat that.

Danielle 56:16

They did a fantastic job, um, with, with that whole reveal how it was executed. Uh, it was really good. Um, in terms of, so that's my best also in terms um, worst, I, I can't say there's a whole lot of worse. I will point to maybe the same point you were pointing to, um, before with how everything was kind of abstract. That's how I feel about Ichi Bay's power.

GIovanni 56:48

Right. I get

Danielle 56:48

you know, you know, I'm not on all on the, on board with like how it works and, you know, he just slashes and a name in half. And I mean, I I figure maybe it goes into other con conventions on People view they was saying, like you just said, names have power and all, all of that. it's not, it's not really a worse, I mean, I am nitpicking truly, but, um, I don't love it, is what I'm saying. It got the job done. It was exciting, but I don't, I don't love it all

GIovanni 57:22

I get that. I get that. But my worst is the cliffhanger the cliffhanger is with yuha

Danielle 57:31

of him being a black aunt. Yeah.

GIovanni 57:33

falling. But there's something that comes after that that I wish was the actual cliffhanger. And I know like the Mangar readers know what I'm talking about, like it. ended there. It ended there in the anime, but in the manga there was a additional scene that closed that chapter. I feel like that's where it should have ended at

Danielle 58:03

okay.

GIovanni 58:03

So I think we kind of got cheated because I know how episode 20 seven's gonna start. So, yeah, we should have a spoilers corner but we don't do

Danielle 58:16

Okay. All right. All right. So, um, I think that's it.

GIovanni 58:24

Oh my God. Season two,

Danielle 58:26

it's a wrap.

GIovanni 58:28

Oh my God. Listen, we've been going strong from episode one to episode 26. No breaks. Well, you had a break but no breaks and we finally made it and we can, uh, I guess we, we'll do shows intermittently.

Danielle 58:48

Yeah, I'm sure We'll, um, intermittently, yes. Um, I'm sure we will drop back in from time to time with an episode here or there, just to, um, if there's any, anything new happening, any news, um, or

GIovanni 59:03

We.

Danielle 59:03

Yeah, just maybe anything interesting bleach related or, or, um, hey, maybe a bonus episode or two of, of another anime that, that might be happening. But, um,

GIovanni 59:17

we're not going anywhere. we're not going anywhere. Just for the

Danielle 59:21
