Oh hey. Combing thru a bunch of these old episodes i realize they were tossing the soul king scenes at us super early, just as a bunch of grainy flashing images without the context to make much sense of them at the time. It's just the same clips of the origin of the three worlds scene that we'd get eventually, with the soul king as a still autonomous being and using his zanpakutou(bankai?). But Ichibe flashed it into Yhwach's mind, and then Ichigo's with increasing clarity before we got the proper and full length scene.

Somehow I didn't remember there being the arrows there as a kind of way to tie the soul King to the Quincy and placing some version of them at the origin of the world not just the Shinigami. But of course it's a very distinctly Japanese looking arrow, not anything western like the various eras of the Quincy, but it makes sense because shinto utilizes Japanese archery in a lot of its sacred rites for things like warding off evil spirits or blessing sacred spaces. Notably the distinctive wide and angular fletching here feels evocative of the Hamaya[破魔矢]: lit."Destroy Demon Arrow" sold as a new years charm to ward off evil spirits and start the year off with a clean slate. And obviously that has clear parallels with the Quincy's M.O.

I don't know what's up with the wider looking shape of the arrow head but it could be any number of neat arrow heads used in historical japanese archery. I dont know enough to point to any with specific special uses.

1) he wasn't the first one we encountered but yammy and ulquiorra didn't do that much -> what they were and their abilities were still unclear

2) after yammi & ulquiorra showed up, we explained the menos hierarchy and how bad it'd be if aizen have multiple of vasto lordes with him

3) first, we see the fracciones fighting against vice cap & capitaine levels and it goes VERY badly. even renji admits they only won cause a surprise effect -> they’re already getting beaten up and yet : the fracciones told them they’re not even the best of the bunch

4) meanwhile, rukia literally one shot deroy and then... she and ichigo are petrified by grimmjow's spiritual pressure, to the point of wondering if he's really the same species as deroy

5) what follows is a "fight" in which ichigo can't even land a single blow, just enduring what he goes through. even if in the previous arc he was able to fight against guy like byakuya. he was giving his all while grimmjow waw barely warming up. and he was only n°6.

sooooo this introduced the espada's threat very well in my opinion. if fracciones and the 6th was already like that, what kind of monsters were the top 5 and the rest ?

One of Bleach’s unresolved plotlines is how Uryu survived Auswählen, but what if he didn’t survive it unscathed?

I've been reading some of the older novels lately and the way they describe the hospital wards and Hanataro tearing up and getting physically exhausted because of them is a little reminiscent of a sensory overload/imminent meltdown? Must be so miserable though if part of his workplace is this much of a trigger on top of the other daily stuff he goes through😔
