Welcome to Las Noche. I'm your host Giovanni.
DanielleHi, and I'm your host Danielle.
GiovaniHi Danielle.
DanielleHello.
GiovaniIs,
DanielleHow's it going?
GiovaniI am a little sick today. I'm uh,
DanielleOh,
GiovaniNot good.
Danielleyou know, nobody wants to hear that these days.
Giovaniyeah. I'll power through, but it's been rough. But nevertheless, we are here. I'm here
Danielleyeah,
Giovaniso. I did finish my 10 miler a couple days ago.
DanielleOh yeah, that's right. That's correct.
GiovaniYes, yes, yes,
DanielleHow'd it go? It was okay.
Giovaniwell. You know, I powered through the finish my time. You know, you never really happy about your times'cause there's always things you could do better you find, you know, there's always things you can improve on, but for the most part it wasn't bad, you know? So I'm happy with it.
DanielleHow do those thing, how do those races go? Is there like a trophy for the winner or,
GiovaniTrophy
Danielleuh,
GiovaniYou don't watch much
DanielleIs there a prize? Is there a
GiovaniNo. You get a participation medal
DanielleOkay.
GiovaniIf you're not, if you don't, if you're not placed, it's a participation medal. So whenever people hate on participation medals, I say don't listen to any of them. We're out here running the miles. We're out here doing the training. Participation count.
DanielleOkay, so no one's out there for the glory, then you just doing it for yourself.
GiovaniWell, it is challenging yourself, right? Because you want to do, you put in so much work in training that when it comes to race day, you put your training to work.
DanielleYeah, I feel that.
GiovaniBut outside of that, I am rather excited about this one piece. Live action. I think it's a movie, might be a series. I don't know. Have you heard about it?
Danielleuh, yeah, I saw that, um, coming up on Netflix,
GiovaniYou don't know about one piece, do you?
DanielleI've seen way, way, way, way back when one piece first, premiered. I think I watched maybe the first couple episodes.
GiovaniAnd you thought, what was your thought about
DanielleBut, I think I just fell off of it. And then by the time I got around to, trying to watch it again, it was so far in that I just, they'll just be one of the animes that I eventually get to where, know, like I'll just
Giovaniluck with that. Do you know how many episodes one piece is?
Daniellethe premiere was so long ago that. I mean, I can't even count how deep they are in ies.
GiovaniI, I haven't even caught up and I'm a new convert. I started watching it and kind of like you, I started watching. I. When it first came out, let's say 1999 or 2000, and it didn't, it didn't hit me, it was one, one of those series that I didn't like the premise of it, yada, yada, yada. 20 16, 20 17, I start watching it. I power through it, it gets better, and then does this arc and this, it captures you and pulls you in and drags you in. And from then on, I'm a one piece guy. I'm a one piece stand, as you say,
DanielleOkay, but the define gets better and when that happens,'cause you know, like, I need things to get better. I'll give you maybe 50 episodes. I don't need things to get better. 200
Giovaniwhere it does get better
Daniellewhat does that even mean?
Giovani50. Right? It, it does get better. It goes places, but um, What I'm talking about is kind of deep in, I think it is at Enis. It's an art called Enis Lobby and it, it really got me in there. I don't wanna say too much
DanielleOkay.
Giovanibut
DanielleAll right. Well, I'm still gonna check out the, um, the live action
GiovaniOkay. Okay. Now one piece is known to have a little, what you call the thing where fan service. Are you okay with fan service?
DanielleI mean, I'm not a big fan of fan service. I, uh, I think that, it can cheapen a story and it, I don't know, I just feel like it distracts from the, um, the story that they're trying to tell. So,
Giovania lot of times it's done. Outside of the story though, just like um, in bleach, there's this episode where, All the lieutenants, the captives of, um, the show Reapers and maybe some of the humans go to a beach. So it's this beach scene where the women are dressed in their best bikinis and the guys are showing their chest ands real fun scene. So it's just giving the people what they want. They wanna see it so,
DanielleBut that, that's the thing, right? Fan service is tech technically supposed to be, putting extra material in the story to appeal to fans, but why does that always have to be risque? That most of the time that's what
Giovaniit is. not all,
DanielleSo, and it's kind of like who's asking for that?
Giovaniit's not all that way.
DanielleI just, I mean, for the most part, it just keeps me from watching anime and my TV on the living room. Now I have to like skulk in the corner because there's too much fan service.
GiovaniWell, I mean, it is not every episode, but I mean, I don't know. I, I, I do appreciate it on. I mean, just in everywhere. I appreciate, I haven't seen anything outrageously bad that made me want to, you know, turn the television off. Well, maybe if there was kids, I would have to pause.
DanielleWe'll, we'll just have to, yeah, we'll just have to disagree.'cause I mean, I think most of the time it's not really necessary and, uh, I mean, it, it doesn't add to the story. I. kind of like, if you're not gonna take the character seriously, then I, I am not gonna take the character seriously. You know, as a, as a writer. Like, if it's you're not taking it seriously, then I'm not
GiovaniBut again, fan service is done usually outside of the arc, outside of the main story. So, but teachers' own, I mean, I like it,
DanielleYeah, it's, uh, I, yeah, it's not my thing.
GiovaniFair enough.
DanielleAll right. So, uh, are we gonna get into, uh, this episode?
GiovaniOf part two of Bleach, episode? 14,
DanielleUh, here we are. Uh,
Giovaniwe made it
DanielleWell, we powered through I can't remember how long the, um, the downtime was from the first part to the, well, we're referring to it as as season two,
Giovaniright.
Daniellethink it was, at least six
GiovaniCouple months
Danielleor more. But, um, here we are on it's episode 14,
Giovaniand I, I was so excited. I could hardly wait after, especially after the last podcast, I wanted to immediately jump into 13. I'm 14. I wanted to jump into 14, and when we did, there was a new intro.
DanielleUh, yeah. You know, I have a love hate relationship with that, and I know it's coming. You know, when, when a season ends or a arc ends, they're gonna switch it up? Most enemy, does that. But especially when I really, really like an intro and I get mad'cause I'm like, my song's gone my, my intro song's gone. My outro song's gone.
GiovaniIntros usually gives you a glimpse of what the story arc will be about, like some of the, the highlights that are in this story arc. And we see a few things in this, this new intro, I don't know if you wanna talk to some of the things, but, um, it, the reoccurring theme is each go first, ou. That's what I noticed.
DanielleOkay.
GiovaniWhat did you notice? Same thing.
DanielleYeah,
GiovaniK was throwing flowers into the river, I guess, in remembrance of Retsu, which I thought was kind of nice.
DanielleYeah. Uh, yeah, I mean that was a good nod to, um, the outcome of their, um, battle.
Giovaniyeah. Yeah, I was, I was glad to see that, even though I know You don't like the new intro.
DanielleI didn't say I don't like it. Uh,
Giovanihave to get used to it.
Danielleget used to right. You gotta get used to it. and, uh, there's, there was nothing wrong with this one. This one was, um, it's just different.
Giovanithey had
DanielleAnd, uh, they, they had, they took a different take to the, um, the graphics this time around. Um,
GiovaniYeah, So you wanna jump in? Let's talk.
DanielleYeah. So, uh, the title of the episode is called The Last Nine Days,
GiovaniYeah.
DanielleI guess we can speculate that that's a nod to what they've been saying, um, so far with the,
GiovaniQuincy Song, the With Quincy King song.
Danielleright. we get, a little bit of a artistic like sequence of yuhas birth or creation
GiovaniYeah.
Daniellein the beginning. Uh, that was quite interesting.
GiovaniYeah. you see Yuha's birth as he transitioned to the Quincy King, when he was a baby. You see all these hands touching him, and he's given parts of his soul or power or something's being transferred to them, and it's making them come alive. They are worshiping him. They are. Um, it's almost like they're becoming a new, throughout the scene you hear a faint sound of Yha, YHA. Yha.
DanielleRight. Like a, a chant
Giovaniit is a chant. And it finally comes to the u Yuha, trying to say his name. Yhwach, I don't know, I try so, You see him as he is now the Quincy King, and that was really good.
DanielleYeah. And uh, we get another title sequence, um, which is kind of like a second title to the episode, and then it's called the Separation.
GiovaniI don't know. what that means, I saw the
DanielleI don't know. I was speculating on it. Yeah, I was speculating on it. And, I guess we can talk more about that at the end,
GiovaniYeah,
Daniellebut, um, I have a few ideas,
GiovaniI have no ideas, but, I'm willing to toss the ball around to pretend like I do
Daniellewell, I mean, I guess I could talk about it now. We don't have to
Giovaniwe can. We,
Danielleend. I, I.
GiovaniOkay. However you feel. Go shoot.
DanielleYeah, I, I, I mean, I just kind of looked at it as like the most of the episode involved, everybody kind of separating into their, their corners for, you know, whether it's, um, like the training or, what, what's happening with Uryu. So it's kind of like, They're taken a side
GiovaniYeah.
Danielleand he kind of took a stance, uh, whether he's there, um, to legitimately do what he's being asked to do or whether it's like subterfuge like we were, um, speculating previous episode. I dunno, but he has a stance now, so he kind of separated himself from the pack. Same thing with like Ichigo and his, friends, you know, the part we saw, he, you know, he's separate from them. So well, I, that's my
GiovaniI, I'll take the most obvious meaning of it. Which, you know, bear with me because I just thought of it right then. If the separation of the from Social Society into, um, the Quincy world, that is probably the most obvious one that I was, I would say.
DanielleYeah, I mean, that's a good one. All right, so, uh, we get into Ichigo and he's meeting with the squad, zero head captain. And, uh, they're just basically talking about how unless Ichigo finds a way to develop additional powers, he's not really gonna stand a chance against Yuha.
GiovaniBecause of right now he's totally weak, right? He just
DanielleYeah.
Giovanirealized that he's been using this Quincy power the whole time, and he really hasn't developed the soul reaper of power. And even if he has, it may not be strong enough to battle yuha. But I also feel like there's just something sinister about this monk get because I don't think he's really talking to the soul king. That's my belief. I
DanielleYou don't think he's talking
Giovanido not think so.
Danielleso all his directives that he stated so far, you, you think it's
GiovaniI think it's coming from him. Things he want to do or things he thinks beneficial to him and maybe squad zero two. Now mind you, I don't know this, but it's just certain things I notice.'cause we never see the so king giving orders.
DanielleWell, that's true. That's, that's one, uh, perspective. But, but then the question is, what's his End game then? What's his
GiovaniWho knows? I didn't notice that a Chibe has a brush for, I don't know if it's like a walking stick or maybe it's this Zanpaktu, TOA weapon, but he has a big brush he walks around with, which is kind of weird.
DanielleOkay. Okay.
GiovaniMore to come with that
Danielleright. Yeah, I mean, I, I think they've been dropping little hints here, here and there that. He's not necessarily on the up and up. I don't know if it's outright that he is lying about all the, um, the things the soul King supposedly wants, but we'll see.
GiovaniShunsui always that on a lot of occasions.
DanielleRight. So I, I guess that's, that's something to come. So, um, we have the Stern Raiders are meeting and Yuha is announcing that um, he has a successor that he's, um, ready to name and that is Uri you.
GiovaniRight. Shocks throughout,
DanielleRight.
Giovaniand I think it's called Silburn or cyber, they've pretty much given the area for the Quincy
DanielleYeah.
Giovaniall Quincy are in attention, they're all in attendance and attention Yuha is on stage with some stern RITs that we've Not yet seen. And then Uryu coming out is something there I feel like these are the elite people.'cause you grandma's on stage two I believe.
DanielleOkay,
GiovaniSo right there lets me know. I feel like there is a hierarchy to Quincy's and we don't know the rest of these guys.
DanielleWell, Yeah, but the, the announcement wasn't received quite well.
GiovaniOh, everybody was upset about it because they thought Hashvalut was supposed to be the successor,
Daniellethe successor, right? Because that's his, um, number two.
GiovaniHashvaut was totally okay with it. He is loyal to his guy. He's lowed to Yuha.
DanielleWell, I'm not sure he's okay with it, but that's what he's gonna say.
GiovaniWell, he gave every indication like if that's what his majesty wants, while the rest, whether it's Bambi or Bass B, they were all vocally upset.
DanielleRight. And what's next?
GiovaniThe scene that everybody want to see so much talk about on the interweb is the Bambi Berstein scene where she gets in a bad mood and she calls this stern riter to her room and he seems so excited. Then she kills him. And it looks like a little hanky of the pany is happening. The hankies of the Panas
DanielleWell I heard about it. I didn't read the manga, it seemed like it was a lot more tame in, in the anime than what was portrayed in the manga
GiovaniI don't, I don't know. And I, I did read the manga and it's all about the same.'cause, I mean, there wasn't a lot of panels dedicated to Bambi. And this unknown Quincy, what was the unspoken thing was something, a winking, something happened because she did zip up her, her, um, vest. And the, the positioning of her body was like, but she wanted to kill him. So that's been, Speaking of fan service. I don't know if that was fan service or not, but maybe it was. It was in the main manga too. So There's more fights and arguments within the uh, Quincy Cathedral because Bazz B is upset with. You Graham, and it seems like they are about to fight when they unknown unseen. Quincy comes in stern riter
DanielleYeah, he jumps in through a, like a, like a portal that he, that appears in there and he comes through there and intervenes in the
Giovaniand it scares them so much that they beat the back away and they call him Naklavar so, That's a big thing.
DanielleYeah. Well, I mean, uh, yeah,
Giovanithing. Well, it's big because if you can stop you from fighting and you Graham's alt is really powerful. That means this guy's respected.
DanielleWell, like we said before, though, we don't, we know there's a hierarchy, but we aren't sure exactly where everybody lands on that hierarchy. So, um, I guess we're getting a little idea of who's powerful and um, who's less. In terms of power.
GiovaniIt still speaks volumes that if you can stop alt in his tracks, this guy. Somebody that Hashvalut can't deal with easily
DanielleAll right. and so then we get, and uh, yuha. And, um, they're in the middle of, uh, going through with the ritual to make ORU yuhas. Um, second,
GiovaniIt reminds you of communion in Christianity,
Danielleit kind of did. Yeah, it did. Well before he, drinks his blood cause that's what he's giving him to drink Orio asked why him, why did he choose him? And he said, because he was the only one to survive,
GiovaniAs failing as failing.
Danielleright, the, well, you know, I'm bad with the pronunciations, but, um, the ouch velon with his powers and that, um, Or you needs to sever all ties with the soul Reapers.
GiovaniRight, and from what we understand about the is that's when Yuha, I guess he takes back his power the Quincy. He's touched or he's granted Powers.'cause if he's the FA father, the Quincy's, they all received their powers through him. So I think later, earlier on in the everything but the Reign, we realized that he took power from Ichigo Mother, Masaki, and Rio's mother.
DanielleYeah, they were affected when he, um, which is what? that whole thing
GiovaniIf you're pure blood, you live, if you're not pure blood, if you, you may die.
DanielleOr, or weaker in some sense. But, um, so they go, they, um, go through with the ritual and he drinks yuhas blood and, um, he bestows him with a, a letter like the other stern readers. And his letter is, Letter A,
GiovaniAnd it didn't say what it was. so I guess it means all powerful, right?
DanielleUh, that's, that's one interpretation, but yeah, they didn't say exactly what it was, so I'm, I'm assuming that's a to, to come thing, so,
GiovaniThese layers.
Danielleyeah. All right. And then we find out that Kiske has sent Chad and or Heime somewhere to do something.
GiovaniTo train, but they don't do much training.
DanielleYeah, they, uh, it doesn't look like they're
GiovaniWe're talking to them is training. Right? They're just and chitchatting. I saw no purpose into that.
DanielleYeah,.Well, I guess it, you know, you gotta check back in and make sure that everybody's still alive and, um, still is on mission for the most part. But, um, we saw Ichigo. Um, so we back to Ichigo and he begins, uh, his training with, IBE and. Has concerns, like we were saying about he, he, um, is elaborating more about his concerns with, about the squad zero captain and his intentions.
Giovaniso Ichigo is in this sacred area. E G B A says only the sole king can give him permission to appear And Shunsui, kind of like I said, and like you just said, doesn't trust Ichi Bay. And I guess he's wondering this process, this new area, What's gonna come of each goal because whatever it is, it's probably won't be beneficial to igo.
DanielleWe also see, uh, uh, Hinze meeting up with the visors.
GiovaniRight? Yep. That's pretty cool. I think
DanielleYeah. Uh,
GiovaniJi and love and Lisa. The peak hair guy, I cannot think of his name. He's the master of keto. He's a keto master. Good to see him.
DanielleSo we also learned that, uh, Bakia has, um, finally recovered from his injuries. Rukia learns that he, he's recovered from his injuries while she's, um, training with Regi. cause we remember, if you remember, um, he was placed in the hot springs. Just like Ichigo and Regie was. But uh, after they came out, we hadn't heard anything about what was taking place for him. So it, I guess it took a really long time. But he is recovered,
Giovaniand we got a little fan service there too.'cause there was a naked bakia just sitting in the, standing in the water.
Danielleare you say as a fan service for the women?
GiovaniYeah, I mean, I,
DanielleAs well as the, as well as the
Giovaniright. And now I'm starting to eat my words,.I said that fan service only happened outside of the arc, and now we're just getting a little,
DanielleThere. And there it is. Smack dab and, yeah. I don't know. See,
Giovanithere.
Daniellethat,
GiovaniIt's all good. I mean, I, I didn't mind that part.
Danielledunno where you're talking about.
GiovaniUh,
DanielleYeah.
Giovaniwhat I gather is Byakua stoic is he realized that, He need to gain more powers. Those beautiful pink paddle swords isn't going to cut it. He needs more,
DanielleYeah. Well that, uh, that's the running theme for everybody, right? Like, you know, everybody's been a little complacent with their power levels and where where they are. And I guess it's pretty clear now that everyone needs to up their
GiovaniThey need to level up.
DanielleIt's time to level up All right. And, uh, like I said, she and Regie are also training with a chibe, to level up. you know, how I feel about, um, Rukia and her powers. I don't know what kind of level up this is gonna be, but I hope It's
GiovaniShe's been doing a lot though, like Rukia is same. Rukia ice frozen powers are, I, mean, she's. She's really good. I expect big things from her too,
DanielleI want big things from Rukia. Yeah.'cause I feel, you know, I feel, like in the beginning of bleach I had one expectation and as it has gone on, she's disappointed me a little bit.
GiovaniBut, I'm telling you, she has gotten a lot stronger.
DanielleYeah, well that's what I, that's what I wanna see for, for her, um, for that character. So, we get a little bit of, um, Shunsui he is meeting up with, uh, some of Ichigo friends slash classmates, and he has let them know that in the case of, of Ichigo not being able, To return to the world of the living. Um, he is bestowing upon them soul tickets to be able to visit if that happens.
GiovaniYeah. How nice of him. Right.
DanielleYeah, I mean, I thought that it was nice of him to do that. I didn't understand in terms of priority levels, why that was necessary. Right now, I'm like, aren't you? Aren't you too busy for this?
Giovanito my opinion, okay, if, if I think if your argument is, why did the captain of squad one have to do it? Why didn't he send one of his underlings to do it?
DanielleThat too. I guess if you wanna point that out, But yes, that too. That too. Also, it's kind.
GiovaniI am gonna always stand by Shunsui and his decisions. So
DanielleWell, yeah,
GiovaniThe only issue I have, and it's not really an issue about Shunsui'cause I love the guy, I think he's great, is he needs to. Talk to or Heime anyway, and Chad as well.
DanielleI mean, yeah, I, mean, I I I suppose'cause if you're gonna hand hand them out, then um, they definitely need, would, would need some too. But it's, it's like I said, like, I mean, I just chopped, it up to, in the, there's a big picture and, um, is. There's a master plan at work or something. But in terms of like the now, the right now, it was kind of like, okay, well, shouldn't we head captain, shouldn't we, why are you here? Where's the lieutenant? You know,
GiovaniBut they don't know Lisa, not Lisa. They don't
Daniellecould do this for you.
Giovanihis lieutenant. Now what they, who they are familiar with is him, because when they saw him, they said, you are the captain of squad eight. So they're familiar with and, and now they will know,
Daniellethat part, but we know, and
Giovaniit's not for us, it's for his friends.
Danielleyes, but I'm, I'm just saying in terms of. Priority levels of what's, what's taking place? Like yeah, we're, we're in downtime, but I don't think the downtime is this, you know, relaxed, that you can take time out to come give these, students some soul tickets to visit their friend, you know, and the
Giovaniseen how the Quincy's operate, that they attacked you unannounced? They invade you whenever and wherever.
DanielleThere's no time like the present. Get this done now. If you can get it done now.
Giovaniand the most, to me, one of the most sensitive things is if he didn't give it, give a Soul Pass to Chad or ioe, does that mean they're gonna die? He calculates like, you know, they might not even make it through this. I went
DanielleUh, I'm not even sure. I didn't even think that far in terms of like, I guess I could say maybe Kike will be able to make sure that they can get in. I don't know. Or I. I. I, I don't, I wouldn't know the reasoning as to why,
Giovanithat's a good
Daniellemaybe he hasn't gotten around to it
Giovaniit was like these two been, have been here before, so.
Danielleright. And I mean, they're already on a mission for Key skate anyway, so I just, I'm going with, okay. Big picture, bigger plan.
GiovaniOkay.
DanielleAnd, uh, so we're wrapping things up and, we see That a shadow of some kind or like shadow energy is right, is enveloping, um, or surrounding the And we get yuha saying that the invasion has been completed.
GiovaniYeah.
DanielleYeah.
GiovaniIt seems like they captured the entire and pulled them into maybe their own world.
DanielleWell, I guess that There you. There we go. Right? We talked it through. So the separation
Giovanithe separation. Well, I said that. That's what I said.
DanielleOh my goodness. Okay, fine. you, won
GiovaniI did win We both win. Okay. We were guessing that at.
DanielleI think I'm right too about, uh, or you,
Giovaniso. And then we hear the, uh, the Quincy song again. The confined Quincy King gains his pulse in 900 years, mind in 90 years, and his strength in nine years. But then there's another part to this, and it's the drum roll and the world. In nine days, I got chills. Because then he says, these are the last nine days of the world, and I was done after that. I was completely like, I mean, true chills down my spine and up my arm. It's like these are the last nine days of the world.
Daniellewell, we know the timeline then, right?
GiovaniI mean, those are loaded words.
DanielleYeah.
GiovaniYou are had, and the Quincy have a plan where Yuha has a plan. In nine days, the world that we know it won't exist. I just, I mean, don't know what's gonna happen, but there's gonna be a lot of deaths. We're not gonna be happy watching this.
DanielleWell, It's war, so you know
GiovaniIt's war, but it's war on the level that we have not seen. I mean, compared to Aizen. You know, he just wanted to kill the so king and correct some wrongness. Yuha wants to destroy everything.
DanielleWell, we've already, um, I guess you can prepare yourself, but that's already started. Uh, Because we've seen the, the level of destruction already. We, we already got a taste. And so yeah, we, now, we have a timeline of the last nine days of the world. But you have to know in a, a war or a battle of this magnitude that some of your favorite characters are probably not gonna make it. I mean, that's already happened. We, we lost, uh, Yamamoto, for example.
GiovaniYeah. it just seems so apocalyptic and so biblical that
DanielleYeah.
Giovanithis is
DanielleUnna. Like we, yeah.
Giovanithis is it The bleach. We know it, the world. We know it. It won't be the same after this. This actually feels like the last arc of bleach
Daniellethey're going, they're going big.
GiovaniI mean, it's, it's heavy. It's really heavy. If you are a bleach lover and you love this series, you are, you have fear of, of yuha unlike any other enemy the bleached universe. I think TT Kubo has told this story so Well, that the viewers like me, we don't know what to think. We know we want to watch more, but we know that it's going to be Some drastic changes that we just need to accept, I guess.
DanielleI, I think it's a, a, a better, a more fitting ending than what we thought we were getting before for the anime. Yeah, it's gonna be a big deal when they wrap this up,
GiovaniYeah.
DanielleAll right. So we get a, uh, the title name for the next episode, and that is gonna be called Peace from the Shadows.
GiovaniWe know what you means by peace, right? Peace usually means death,
DanielleWe get, we, we have an idea of his version of Peace So, So that's gonna be exciting for, uh, episode, uh, 15 of the second season.
GiovaniSo translation, death from the shadows. We'll just put it, I'm gonna put that out there like that.
DanielleWell, that's, that's the running theme, So we can get into the Bon Kais
GiovaniOkay. Okay.
DanielleBest and worst. I didn't really sort mine out. I didn't, I mean, I I didn't have a,
Giovanilet's, let's rate it first. How, how would you rate this episode?
Danielleother episode. Um, it was more, um, story building, I think, than anything else. So I'll give it, seven and a half.
GiovaniHmm. Okay. Okay. Your sevens are questionable.
DanielleWhy, why are they questionable?
GiovaniWell, you also said everything, but the rain was a seven. I guess
DanielleI did not say that it was a seven.
Giovaniseven.
Danielledid I give it
Giovanimaybe I gave, no, I gave it a seven. Okay. I am a seven. You gave it a nine. Okay.
DanielleSee, you're projecting
Giovaniam, but I, I,
DanielleI don't think I've given anything a seven, but this one it was in, it's not a seven. and a half because it's a bad episode. It's just, um, you know, they're just building up the, the, the story. So there's, Not like a lot of action per se happening. I mean, there's things happening in terms of what the characters are doing to prepare, but not action.
GiovaniOkay. I'll give it a eight bunk highs It was a solid story going from episode 13 to 14. It still pulls you into the bleach universe and it also opens your eyes into what will be, what's coming next. So it's great episode 14.
DanielleOkay.
GiovaniBest and worst. Do you want me to go first or would you like to go
DanielleYeah, sure. Go ahead.
GiovaniMy best is Shunsui is having the foresight in every way to see through Ichi eBay's plans to have doubt and to do something about it, he's clever. He's, not gonna let e e B have his way. That's my best.
DanielleOkay. And, uh, I guess I can go with the fact that we, have learned that Bakia has recovered. So, We know he's gonna be, back in the game once he also levels up.
GiovaniHe'll be more powerful.
Daniellethat would be more powerful. Yes. That was my best.
GiovaniMy worst is probably the gross misuse of Chad in, in, uh, order Humane. We really got nothing from them. They just did a lot of talking. They said they were going to train, but if Kiske training them, I didn't see it.
DanielleOkay. Well, you know, I dunno. It just seemed like they were on a mission, so, um, We'll see we'll see where that's leading. My worst, it's not really worse, but the, just the, one issue that I said before that I had a problem with was, um, just
GiovaniDon't say it. Don't do it.
DanielleI just thought that that was not the time for that giving out soul passes in the middle. it. just didn't seem quite important.
GiovaniShunsui Sun is always correct.
DanielleYeah.
Giovanialways right. You're wrong. He's right.
DanielleUh, well, we'll see down the road where it leads. I'm, I'm sure there's a master
GiovaniShunsui is never gonna say, well, I shouldn't have went to Earth and given these kids a soul pass.
DanielleRight. All right. So I think that's it for us. And, uh, this episode, episode 14. We'll see you guys for the next episode. Check out the Facebook page we're I was posting over there. And.
