A truly masterpiece. What a episode. Sensational direction, OST's, animation and dubbing. Take development, take exciting momentum, take appealing power. It's no exaggeration to say that this might be one of the best episodes of the entire franchise. Rukia had her moment in the spotlight flawlessly. Genuinely this episode owed nothing to any other studio!
Very cool to see the parallel of the most beautiful bankai against a terrifying and bizarre enemy. By the way, this was one of the best bankai introductions. Sensational direction and pace of the episode. And finally, I wanted to highlight how cool As Nodt is, a character who had a voice actor at the height. What a magnificent performance.
