TV anime Bleach special ED, Ulquiorra has become a trending topic! “Emotions were messed up”

The TV anime Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has finally begun airing in October 2022.

 

After the first episode aired, words such as “Bleach,” “Ulquiorra” and “Rapport” swept Twitter trends!

 

We will explain why especially the special ending became a hot topic.

 

 

Why is the special ending of the TV anime Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War a hot topic?

TV Anime Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 1 Special Ending Movie

 

The special ending of the first episode of the TV anime Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War has been released on YouTube.

 

The special ending of the first episode uses the song “Rapport” by Tatsuya Kitani, which was written as the theme song for the Bleach 20th anniversary and original art exhibition “Bleach EX”.

 

The video was a re-edited version of the main character Ichigo Kurosaki becoming a Soul Reaper and the fierce battles he has fought so far.

 

 

Ulquiorra who does not appear in the main story, was trending!

 

As the ending played, Ulquiorra, who does not appear in the main story, started trending on Twitter.

 

The reason for this is that the lyrics are linked to the scene in which Ulquiorra is shown.

 

When Ulquiorra appears, the lyrics are “I know that the light in my hand is my heart”.

 

This is very fitting for Ulquiorra, who has come to understand the “heart” through his contact with Orihime!

 

The famous scene where Ulquiorra recalls his previous conversation with Orihime as he turns into ashes and disappears, he asks Orihime once again, “Are you afraid of me?” and she replies, “I’m not afraid of you” is a scene that makes us cry no matter how many times we see it.

 

 

Other points that make me cry…

 

Also noteworthy is the scene in which not only Ulquiorra but also Gin Ichimaru and Rangiku Matsumoto, who met their sad end, appear.

 

The lyrics of Gin’s appearance are “My heart is filled to the brim with you”.

 

It seems to be the sentiment of Gin, who acted by betraying his friends for Rangiku and pledged his loyalty to his most hated enemy.

 

We broke down in tears remembering the scene where he died while being nursed by Rangiku.

 

 

Great turnout on social networking sites!

When the first episode aired, Twitter was abuzz with talk of the ending movie.

 

Fans responded, “Heartwarming direction to match the famous scene between Ulquiorra and Orihime to ‘Kokoro da (heart)’,” “They messed up all the emotions,” “They’re trying to kill otaku,” and “The editing is beyond description”.

 

Others said they were happy to see a character who has already passed away appear on terrestrial TV, such as “I’m so happy to see Gin on terrestrial TV in this age of the Reiwa period,” and “Gin and Rangiku are so good”.

 

In addition to those introduced here, there are many other scenes where the lyrics are linked to the emotions of the characters, so be sure to check out the special ending movie of the first episode.
