Also, the Garganta is far from empty given that Kyogoku can reportedly grow large enough to home stars.

I'll just re-post the following:

The kanji used by Senjumaru for "heaven and earth" is tenchi. Tenchi is used figuratively, it does not literally mean "the planet and the atmosphere". The kanji means "everything in existence". And even though it's supposed to be used figuratively, Senjumaru just so happens to reaffirm what she said a bit later. I guess I could also add that in Buddhism, the kanji in question is correlated to the entire universe and Buddhism is so relevant in Bleach that PhD students write academic works about its symbolism in the series. So, yes, she did shake the entire universe there.

But saying that after her true power was unsealed, it just hopscotched through all the space and meticulously just shook one planet is quite ridiculous to say the least.

Yeah, I don't see how it gets any clearer than this.

Once more, just to make it clear: the kanji "tenchi" doesn't mean "planet and atmosphere" or heaven as in Soul Society planet and earth as in World of the Living planet. That's taking it literally when it's used figuratively. The kanji explicitly means "all of creation"/"everything in existence". Furthermore, Senjumaru uses "sangai tenchi" which is used to refer to the three realms of existence in Buddhism which form the universe.

Sorry, not sorry. Bleach is just built like that. I've been saying universal god tiers for years now. It seems as though the anime will finally do me justice.

Oh, it is necessary. Some people don't have the capability to observe and make logical conclusions based on the observations. A thorough breakdown is pivotal here. Alas even that wouldn't be enough for some individuals.

What not keeping up with Bleach's anime does to a mfer.

Bleach is the only known series that people constantly cry about it being heavily reliant on statements, but even when it has the feats - they're just sidelined and don't matter. Disbelief is one thing, but being purposefully ignorant must be a bliss.

... 13 hours later. Alright, back to this.

Still waiting for the definition of outlier that'd be good.

Let's talk about the "arguments" that I am making in the meantime. More so the fact that I am not making any arguments - I am merely quoting the manga/novels.

Soul Society and World of the Living were blatantly used in the CFYOW novel to describe the universes themselves, not just the planets.

Granblue Fantasy does the exact same thing where depending on the context, Sky Realm is used to refer to the planet or the entire universe. A lot fictional works aren't shy of that.

In Bleach's case, the boundary (the Dangai) was placed between the universes themselves, not just the planets. Just like how the Garganta encompasses the universes and not the planets which is evident because it is not outer space verbatim.

The Reio separated the primordial world into the Soul Society and World of the Living as stated in the novel and in episode 24 of the TYBW anime and placed the Dangai as a boundary between them.

The Dangai being the pipeline that connects the universes themselves as per the infamous "if they could be likened to planets" quote.

According to the novels, Yhwach's plan was to destroy the boundaries and return the world to its original state. What this means is that he was going to reverse what the Reio did. So, when Yhwach or any other Sternritter would talk about the end of all three worlds, they weren't referring the destruction of the planets and their fusion into one but instead that of the entire universes because destroying and fusing the planets would not return the world to its original state - destroying and fusing the universes would, because the Dangai would be the pipeline between the worlds if they could be likened to planets.

Oh damn I completely forgot about this thread lmao.

But yeah, in 15 hours both episodes 25 and 26 will drop alongside a teaser trailer for cour 3 like last year (yes that was confirmed by a leaker on Twitter).

With that being said, I have no doubts that both episodes will be incredible. However, some weird decisions were taken in relation to episode 26 which just feel so out of pocket and forced so that it ends on this weird cliffhanger.
