Bleach Kills Major Character In The Thousand-Year Blood War’s Most Gruesome Episode

As a long-time Bleach fanatic and someone who has witnessed the evolution of this series from its humble beginnings, I must say that the Thousand-Year Blood War arc is living up to its hype. The latest episode has undeniably proven to be one of the bloodiest yet, with a major character’s demise leaving fans in shock and tears.

The animated adaptation of Bleach’s Thousand-Year Blood War has indeed earned its title by showing an abundance of intense battles resulting in significant bloodshed. Unlike the initial anime version, which sometimes toned down the violence compared to the manga, the latest comeback series seems unrelenting in its portrayal of brutal fights. The most recent episode underscores this point by featuring a major character’s demise – a character who has been a mainstay in the anime for quite some time.

heads up! If you haven’t seen the latest episode of Bleach: The Thousand-Year Blood War titled “Baby, Hold Your Hand 2 (Never Ending My Dream)”, beware as we’ll delve into spoiler territory. One of the most peculiar battles in the ongoing Blood War is when the Shinigami scientist Mayuri faced off against Pernida Parnkgjas, the “Left Hand of the Soul King”. Despite Mayuri’s conviction that he had won the day with his horrifying Bankai by engulfing Pernida, the latter, being a Quincy, managed to reappear on the battlefield and inflict severe damage upon Mayuri.

Nemuri Didn’t Make It

During the battle against the Quincy appendage, Mayuri was at the forefront, but it was Nemuri Number 7 who stepped in to save him. The artificially created soul, a trusted ally of the mad scientist, demonstrated incredible strength amidst the Blood War. Regrettably, despite pushing herself to her absolute limits, Nemuri failed to destroy Pernidas and met a gruesome end as a consequence.

In a swift turn of events, Mayuri’s trusted assistant managed to annihilate Pernidas’ physical form. However, the remnant rapidly regenerated and tainted Nemuri in an instant. Before she could even touch the ground after leaping into the air, Number 7 was already infected by the Regenerative Hand’s nerves, leading to a gruesome explosion – one of the most gory scenes yet in the Blood War. The impact of this death is intensified because the recent episode delves into Nemuri’s background and the origin of her artificial spirit.

Is Nemuri Actually Deceased?

For fans of Bleach, there’s a glimmer of hope regarding Nemuri’s death. Mayuri was able to prevent Pernidas from consuming Nemuri’s brain, and given his past abilities, it’s plausible that he could revive her or introduce a new Nemuri (Number 8) instead. This is because the Left Hand devouring Nemuri’s body overloaded its system when it encountered her unique biological structure, leading to an explosion similar to that of its victim.

In the remaining episodes of the current season of the Blood War, Bleach fans can anticipate some significant developments. It’s been confirmed that a fourth season is on its way to wrap up the Shinigami’s battle against the Quincies, but the exact timeline for the anime’s end is still uncertain. It’s expected that the Thousand-Year Blood War arc will conclude in 2025, marking the culmination of the Soul Society’s resurgence.
