10 Best Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episodes, Ranked
Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has been a massive success from day one, and these are the 10 best episodes of the series, so far, from worst to best.
Shunsui Is the Push the Soul Reapers Need
Longly Teased as the Strongest After Yamamoto, Kyoraku Will Reveal His Greatest Power
Shunsui Kyoraku has always been an interesting character and a wild card, which perfectly describes his Zanpakuto. Although he previously defeated the number one ofthe Ten Espada, Starrk, he didn’t use his Bankai. This was due to his close friend, Ukitake, urging him not to use it where people could see it. This could either mean thathis power could harm nearby alliesor that he should keep it a secret and let it be his trump card.
The latter is the more likely option, and it seems to have paid off since the Sternritters knew all about the high-ranking Soul Reapers, such astheir abilities and their Bankais, except for Kyoraku. Still, his Shikai, Katen Kyokotsu, is powerful and the most creative one seen so far. His ability is very complicated but, in essence, it traps a victim with varying rules based on children’s games, but Shunsui is also subject to the rules and can harm him if he breaks them.
Kyoraku has always been teased as one of the strongest Soul Reapers, as proved by the fact he was elected as successor to Genryusai Yamamoto after the latter’s death. However, his lazy and relaxed attitude always prevented him from showing his true power. Kyoraku’s Shikai is already powerful enough for most opponents, but his Bankai,Katen Kyokotsu Karamatsu Shinju(Flower Crazed Heaven Bone Spirit Withered Pine Love Suicide) is on another level.
25 Most Powerful Zanpakutos in Bleach, Ranked
Bleach’s iconic weapon, the Zanpakuto, appears in a range of shapes and forms. Its power, however, depends entirely on the wielder.
More Bankai Will Be Seen In The Cours
Previous seasons ofThousand Year Blood Warhave already shown amazing Bankai so far, with some like Senjumaruand Rukia’s going viral and exceeding expectations. Manga readers may be already familiar with Kyoraku’s Bankai, butBleach: Thousand Year Blood Warhas already proved to be willing to expand on the source material, with the blessing of Tite Kubo, so the debut of the strongest Captain’s Bankai will still be a must-watch moment.
