I think the episode does a great job starting off by continuing with the emotions from the previous episode. The sad and defeated tone that everyone had, Soi Fon getting very emotional and lashing out at everyone (last time she was an emotional wreck was when he got abandoned by Yoruichi), and Shunsui coming in to diffuse the situation was really good.
Then we start to see the tone start to shift a bit and we get to see a glimpse of a goat again, the legendary Kon. A man so strong that if they gave him a shinigami body, he would oneshot the Quncies the moment they showed up.
Now we see Squad Zero come in and Zoro's rival gets revealed.
The man who makes up for 90% of the Squad Zero's power, Oetsu making up 7%, and Senjumaru making up the last 3%.
Squad Zero is interesting, their VAs fit their roles, especially Tenjiro. Can't wait for more interactions with them.
Tenjiro telling Unohana that medical care isn't what she should be doing right now, she has another job that we will see soon
Senjumaru telling Mayuri that the division was less secure than when she was around implies that there was a division before the Gotei 13 since she was never part of the OG squad. It also seems like she knows Mayuri a bit more personally. That's something interesting to look at.
I also I like how they revealed that Isshin is Kukaku's uncle and Ichigo's cousin because apparently some people can't seem to read the manga, so they had to make sure people are spoonfed this information.
Also, the 3 Fullbringers, Ginjo, Tsukishima, and Giriko. They're dead and in the Soul Society, but they are definitely going to be involved here.
I think Senjumaru calling Aizen "evil" personified is hypocritical compared to what Ichibei and the Noble families did, but that's a different discussion you can get into.
The comedic scenes are alright imo, since the invasion has passed and it's the "training arc", so it kinda fits in these moments, but hopefully they take out more of that in the actual 2nd invasion.
Overall, it's a good episode, some things did get revealed too quickly and some things could've been expanded on, but I enjoyed it. The pacing is going to slow down now, so we can understand what's going on.
