It’s a pretty funny moment then as we get to see Ichigo walking towards the entrance of where Yamamoto is, and Renji is waiting there, only for Ichigo to walk past and casually greet him as if nothing happened. Kyoraku sits down beside Ukitake and briefly asks about it, and says that he wouldn’t be surprised if Ichigo was furious and had come to return the Substitute Shinigami badge. Meanwhile, there are reports around Soul Society that Ichigo has entered, and nobody there knows for what reason. As she wakes up, we see Orihime led nearby who starts crying with joy when she sees that Riruka has finally recovered and woken up, and then silent tears come from Riruka as well. The episode swiftly moves on then in the second half, we see Riruka wake up in Urahara’s store and be pretty much healed. This scene differs from the Manga, nothing too major, just that in the Manga Yukio tells Jackie that in a few years when he gets some things done that he will come back or offer them to come back together with him (or something along those lines). We then get to see Yukio elsewhere walking away, and being approached by Jackie. Shishigawara tells Tsukishima to look and says how nice it looks, while Tsukishima smiles and then seemingly dies. They are going through some woods, and as they come in to a clearing the sun comes out signalling that morning has arrived. Tsukishima smiles and thanks Shishigawara, while Shishigawara says as Tsukishima’s apprentice this is the least he can do, all the while tears are streaming down his face. Tsukishima then realises that Shishigawara is feeling the same way now as Tsukishima is about Ginjo. Shishigawara sees how badly Tsukishima is injured and so carries him on his back, while saying how Tsukishima is the strongest of all, that he can’t die, and that he is invincible. Tsukishima remembers how back when he was a kid Ginjo came along and said the two of them could stay together, and then in his mind questions why Ginjo taught him everything except for what to do when he would die.Īs Tsukishima is doing so, Shishigawara suddenly appears. Tsukishima himself of course is gravely injured, and his vision starts going blurry, while also coughing up blood as he falls to his knees. She calls Tsukishima stupid, and says that even though Ginjo was the one who saved all of them, that they were unable to do the same for him, and that in the end Ichigo was the one who saved him. Rukia throws herself in the way, and Riruka emerges from her and takes the slice instead. Ichigo silently stands beside Ginjo, only for the sudden appearance of Tsukishima who aims his sword straight for Ichigo who is caught off guard.
As Ginjo lays there dying, he wonders how things would have been if the roles had been reversed, with him being in Ichigo’s current position while Ichigo would have been the one who felt betrayed by Soul Society. Ginjo tries to keep up, but is ultimately outmatched by Ichigo who eventually lands the finishing blow on Ginjo, sending him crashing back down to the ground.
It doesn’t take long though before Ichigo starts landing hits on Ginjo, slicing him pretty good and spilling his blood. The episode starts with Ginjo and Ichigo continuing their fight from the previous episode, with both in Bankai and both doing their best to come out the winner. So yes, putting my feelings to the side for now, it’s time for the actual review of this final episode. I had a feeling I was going to spend more time going over my thoughts on Bleach as a whole rather than this episode, so to prevent doing so, I do plan to write up something seperate explaining about my thoughts and feelings on Bleach in general. Knowing this was coming didn’t make it any easier at all, and as such the episode as a whole felt very bittersweet. Bleach Episode 366, the very last episode of the Bleach Anime.
