I still think that the arc was solid. Bloated with characters but done much better than Wano.
Kubo will have the time to put in whatever he was forced to scrap in the manga especially the Haschwalth vs Ishida fight intrigues me.
Yeah its much better than Wano. It had actual stakes and tension. Some truly epic battles and shocking moments and epic reveals. Kubo had planned for it to go for 10 years IRL which is INSANE!
Haschwalth vs Ishida was something that definitely needed more of, it was such an interesting setup and the abilities at play too. I actually really wanted Hashbrown vs Ukitake but alas...lol
Unohana vs As Nodt would have been a sick fight too imo if it could have happened but I still loved what we got with Byakuya vs them.
Hopefully we actually get to see Shinjis and Hisagis bankais included too. I cannot wait to see Hitsugaya, Renji and Kenpachi pop off fucking massively in this arc too.
Not to mention how godly Ichibei is too lol. AND THEN YAMAMOTO! OMFG! Kubo really did go ALL OUT with him! Just thinking about this animated is almost making me pass out with hype tbh!
