In which Yumichika makes some bad choices, Uryuu makes some questionable choices, Hitsugaya makes no choices because Giselle is making choices for him, and Kurotsuchi makes some excellent choices.

Lethan apologizes for this one. Del doesn't. Enjoy :)

We're a bunch of fan fiction writers, artists and Bleach fans just excited for the anime to return and I cannot wait to introduce the other hosts to you soon. 

This week, Lethan and Nomi dip their toes into the implications of the newly-confirmed Quincy invasion, fan-soul about a few unexpected anime-only scenes (looking at you, missing moments from the Ishida family) and sob like Rose's guitar at more than a few tragic moments. This arc sure isn't pulling any punches!

In this weeks episode Lethan & Nomi discuss how Tsukishima's power works and who it would impact, how Ginjo's character deisgn changed (Aizen Style) when he turns and how devestating it must have been for Ichigo to go through what he went through. :( Our poor wee boy.

The symbol itself is that on Zangestsu’s hilt, but because of the way this symbol was co-opted the western world, the name was probably left out of the Weekly Shonen Jump and release, and then left in Japanese in volume releases.)

Welcome to the Fullbringer Arc - which is the last animated arc before Thousand Year Blood War drops in October! 

This week, Del and Lethan kick things off with a few hard-hitting questions. Who is Ginjo Kugo, and why does he ask Ichigo to investigate his own father? How well is Ichigo really coping with the loss of his soul reaper powers, and how much does he really miss his friends from the Seireitei? Will Ryuuken ever be a good dad to Uryuu? What do we think about Tatsuki's new mullet? And where the heck is Chad?!

BLEACH: Thousand Year Blood War Arc - Official Trailer 2

Just when you all thought we couldn't sink any lower, Nomi and Lethan deliver the Seireitei's most delightfully explicit podcast episode yet.

In a discussion worthy of both gasps and facepalms, our intrepid hosts discuss everything from the anime's attention to detail (or lack thereof) when it comes to character proportions, the various lieutenants' relationships to the Captains who betrayed them, and the nuanced insights we get into Unohana's healing kidou.

This week, Del and Nomi talk about Barragan's legitimately scary release, Soi Fon's huge, flashy bankai, and the ongoing scuffle between lone wolf Starrk and everyone's favorite flirtatious husbando, Kyōraku.

(For the record, Ukitake can jump in and defend us anytime, because we on this podcast definitely don't have any pride.)

Bonus recommendation! / Fanmade cover of Bleach Vol. 68 **TYBW SPOIILERS AHEAD!**: https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/304415256044978023/

Sunflowers, dire straits, hot boys, training montages, and a decided appreciation for the Department of Research & Development abound in this episode. In other words, Bleach is back, and so are we!

But no, for real - would you betray your best friend or nah?

In this week's episode, Del and Lethan discuss Kaien's zanpakuto, Rukia's Kidō improvement, who really ranks the strongest out of the five hero's and Resurreccións.

I mean... Chad's the strongest... right? 

Right??
