Bleach - Thousand Year Blood War COUR 3 | Episode 36 Reaction (EARLY UNCUT ACCESS)

The Conflict Episode 10 | BABY HOLD YOUR HAND 2 (Never Ending My Dream)

Comments

Perfect adaptation of the manga chapter in this episode, everything was flawless. Also a bit of trivia for you Flexie - the black-haired girl working in the Squad 12 Department of R&D is the sister of Mashiro Kuna from the Vizoreds. When she was startled by the fetus corpses popping out of the desk they yelled her name “Kuna”.

im curious how they will handle next episode since it was one of the bigger examples of kubo being rushed in the manga. but i have hope since the title of next episode is not a manga chapter title which is really rare if its happened at all. hopefully we get a bunch of anime only content to flesh out this next bit also who ever was drawing and animating mayuri this episode must really love him because some of those shots made our mad scientist look a little too good

nah they changed very brief sections to make the silhouettes of Pernida and Lille change for their newer appearances (specifically during the drum fill before the chorus)

The OP visuals are the same still

BLEACH 36 "Control" and "free will" are major themes here, fitting ones when dealing with "Science" and "Progress" (Even more so when talking about the Left Hand and Nemu who've been used, and controlled by others) Mayuri throughout this battle is leaping into the thralls of evolution, but as we see evolution is dangerous and should be approached carefully. Mayuri is clearly a character who is always in control, he prepares several times over, but as mentioned by Nemu he forgets things before coming to this battle, but how do you even prepare for combat with something that embodies evolution?I'd argue the answer is also to evolve (as shown by Nemu and Pernida) and a major point of this battle is to show the slight yet poignant character progression of Mayuri, which is why they make it a point to show that other shinigami are thankful to him. - Mayuri is weird because morally speaking he's completely insane, his sense of ethics is completely different from ours but in his own crazy way, it's obvious that he did in fact love Nemu in his own twisted way, so much so that since he's made her he feels he's living in a Dream, Nemu was perfect to him and once she died he was made to wake up from this Dream. Mayuri manifested Szayelaporro as his own inner thoughts, everything he said. Mayuri feeling despair was him facing his own hypocrisy in regards to perfection. And at the end when he reclaims her cerebrum we see him re-enter his Dream-like state, deep within the oceans of progress, where he happily sinks. (The idea the he cherished her evolution over his own life is proof of his own pseudo means of being a parent) Pernida represents Development, individuality and adolescence, something the arm shares with Nemu. Pernida started out as the arm of the Soul King, but it rejected that. Pernida didn't want to be seen as just an arm, but as its own person. And throughout the fight it developed: Like an infant it at first couldn't speak, just mumble, just a few words and broken sentences. It became more intelligent and eloquent and even had a "rebellious teenage phase" (thanks to absorbing traits from Kenpachi) with the occasional bout of wisdom before becoming like an adult. It developed its own sense of right and wrong and grew beyond just being the arm of the Soul King. In the end Pernida was a full-fledged person, an individual that grew beyond its programming. Same for Nemu whose development we saw and which ended with her growing and evolving beyond her programming, deciding for herself what she wants and going against Mayuri's order and it ended with both their deaths. That brought the final piece of Mayuri's symbolism to full circle, parenthood and death and birth (Mayuri's sword is named after a psychopomp for dead children) - The reason why Pernida eats Nemu because he learned Mayuri's bankai personality. All that Pernida learn during this fight. Learned how to talk because of Zaraki. Gained Zaraki's physicality. Gained skim peeling ability because of Mayuri's bankai and learned how to eat without teeth too, basically whatever Pernida touches, it will learn and also copy the behavior - We learn here that Mayuri used the fetuses from his artificial soul research to reach the Bankai state, which gives clarity as to why his Bankai takes on the visage of a baby - Sidenote 2: The title of the chapter that concludes Mayuri's fight is "never ending dream"

I forgot that you're US based and thought - "Damn, she is up very early". That being said, isn't it a bit late there? Take care of yourself.
