Bleach remains the series that proved Akira Toriyama was right to cycle out characters to avoid cast bloat.
I wanted to say One Piece would prove Toriyama wrong and it's just about execution, but OP does actually separate the main characters a lot recently, and while there are a crazy amount of characters, 95% of them get rotated out and replaced with new ones every arc. So I guess Toriyama... was right

Anyone who says that werehuman/berserker Komamura should be cut deserves to be put on trial. That sequence was hardcore as gently caress and I'll have no opinions to the contrary.

All I really want out of this final arc is the Kenpachi/Unohana fight animated because you just know Kubo had some other ideas for that fight.

It was probably expected to be the case because japan has huge respect for their voice actors, but it's nice seeing everyone back. Also Yhwach's voice sounds really familiar.

This isn't an official video, they just edited existing lines into the original trailer. That said we already knew everyone was coming back because the original trailer had a big cast list at the end.

Yhwach's voice actor has been in a ton of stuff, including Bleach already as Zangetsu.

I like that after the Soul Society arc (or maybe it was later), it seemed like Soul Society actually put in some effort toward helping people unlock their bankais rather than the prior policy of gently caress you, figure it out on your own. Just part of the usual trend of the events of the story being part of a society becoming less stagnant.

Yeah it was fun watching them go over each character one by one and then going "oh poo poo, the song is about to end!" and bombarding everyone at once.

Also lmao that the ending quote is Byakuya's stupid fakeout death quote

The fact that Q, R and W are on the poster implies to me we might be getting some expansion on things. As the first two died off screen and W was introduced way later.

This poster appears to be for the initial invasion. Many Sternritter are on the poster. But some are on it that are unexpected.

9 days is an eternity in anime standards

plus all the events that happen in this arc could very well happen within 3 anime days
day 1: the first invasion
day 2: the training montage
day 3: the second invasion
