Bleach Thousand Year Blood War Episode 3 review: Invasion on Soul Society Vizmedia ShueishaIn Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War episode 3 the Quincy and Shinigami continue waging war in Soul Society while Ichigo defends the surviving Arrancar in Hueco Mundo. The third episode of Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War picks right up where episode 2 left off, showcasing Ichigo\u2019s fight against Quilge Opie, who is the Quincy in charge of capturing the Arrancar. While the two fight, the Shinigami in Soul Society prepare to wage war against the Quincy, who are destined to be the Shinigami\u2019s mortal enemies. Throughout episode 3, Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War keeps its quality consistent, just like the previous two episodes. In other words, it\u2019s a phenomenal production. Without further ado, let\u2019s jump into the Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Episode 3 review \u2013 spoiler warning! Ichigo faces off against Quilge Opie Quilge Opie is the main Quincy in charge in Hueco Mundo, and is the opponent who was set up to be Ichigo\u2019s first real opponent in Bleach Thousand Year Blood War. The previous episodes displayed the Quincy\u2019s overwhelming power, setting precedent for the ensuing fight. And in Bleach Thousand Year Blood War episode 3, Quilge\u2019s power is directly compared to Ichigo\u2019s. During this confrontation, viewers are able to gauge how strong Ichigo has really become after Bleach\u2019s years long hiatus. The fight progresses at alarming speeds, providing quality animation and fight cinematography. Though the face off doesn\u2019t conclude within this episode; Quilge Opie goes through two whole transformations in the short twenty minute episode. These monstrous transformations highlight one of Tite Kubo\u2019s biggest strengths, character design. In addition, the accelerated pacing improves upon the original manga\u2019s sluggish story telling, keeping only the best moments while increasing the quality of these moments by utilizing top tier animation. Quincy invade Soul Society In Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Episode 3, the Quincy and Shinigami are revealed to be mortal enemies fated to clash. The Quincy exterminate hollows completely, and therefore threaten the natural balance, while Shinigami cleanse the hollow so their soul returns to the natural cycle of spirituality. Therefore, though they both hunt hollow, their two goals directly contradict one another. This explanation allows the conflict to feel more prewritten, with hints of the ensuing war having been planted as early as Ishida Uryu\u2019s initial introduction to the series. As for the invasion itself, it occurs very suddenly. The Quincy appear, and pillars of blue flames erupt across Soul Society. A close look into the flames reveal bodies being thrown by the flame\u2019s force, likely dying upon landing. Captain Yamamoto previously ordered the Shinigami to be ready for war prior to the invasion, but despite the order, they are grossly underprepared. Side characters\u2019 limbs are instantly blown off, and countless Shinigami are massacred by the Quincy in a matter of seconds. The pacing, once again, is a bit disorienting but very much welcome. Bleach\u2019s accelerated story telling help distinguish it from other slower paced Shounen anime, such as One Piece and Naruto, while also helping highlight showcase the brutality and power difference between characters. Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War Episode 4 will premiere on November 1. Want more Bleach Thousand Year Blood War reviews?
