Bleach Review: Verge On Vermillion

Another great Bleach chapter from inside the Royal Realm.

The chapter begins with Nimaiya saying that the real battle starts now but his sword shakes a little however he is still able to dodge an attack from Gerard. Gerard goes to attack again but he is taken down quickly by Nimaiya who slices open his back.



"You like my fountain of blood?"

Lille observes this clash and states that some kind of trick is at work here and it has something to do with the jelly like substance and why the Zanpakutō shook at the beginning. He fires at Nimaiya who slices the bullet in two and, shocked, fires more but they are all deflected. Before he can do anything else Nimaiya slices him almost in half.

Not Lille's shooting arm!

Pernida starts to do some attack however Nimaiya simply throws his sword through her head, retrieves it by jumping off her body and then slices Askin who survives this attack but Nimaiya doesn't give him a chance to do anything else and slices his neck.

Now that's pretty damn cold

Nimaiya then says that his sword, Sayabuse, is a failed creation and that it is so sharp that even blood slides off the blade. In fact a sheath can't even hold it which is why he carries it in the jelly substance and because no one else can use it that is why it "failed" but thanks Yhwach for the chance to use it. However he is interrupted by Askin who begins to stand up saying that because of his power, that he hates, he has survived but always feels that he is close to death.

Gross!

Finally got a proper fight here in the Royal Realm because the previous ones, as great as they where, was mainly the Zero Squad and the Sternritter showing off their powers.

This was such an epic chapter because of how badass Nimaiya was; he absolutely stole the chapter with his impressive sword play and the way he dispatched the elite Sternritter. This shows that even though Nimaiya does like to goof around, like when he was first introduced, when the s**t goes down he turns in to a demon. He showed no mercy to any one the Sternritter and he is probably the most deadly with a sword in Bleach like when he took out Pernida, ripped the sword from her head and immediately went for Askin. His sword is very impressive as well; it's basically a one hit one kill blade but the back story about how its a failed creation was really interesting and when Lille was saying there was I trick behind it I think he was just guessing and it was just Nimaiya's sword work.

Askin's like WTF

As for the Sternritter I really do not think that they are dead because they are supposed to be the Yhwach's elite guard and he wouldn't have brought them if they where going to be taken out that easily. Gerard for example is "The Miracle" so maybe he can perform miracles on the battlefield, for example maybe "It's a miracle that he survived that attack" so something like that. As for Pernida I am not even sure if she is even human and I have read some people's opinions that she may be a robot or even an alien. However they could also be saved by Askin's ability as well.

"You can't touch me"

Askin has been hyped up so much that next chapter is obviously his time to shine and we may even get to see what his ability is. It could be something as simply as that he can not die which is what he hinted at the end of the chapter but I like to think there is more there. He is "The Deathdealing" so maybe he can make deals with those about to meet death or are close to death but that is just speculation.

"Didn't I just say you can't touch me"

Overall this has really showed off Nimaiya as the greatest swordsman in the Zero squad and since he is my favourite member I am glad he got such an epic chapter. The art and the swordplay where all perfect and I am glad we got a fighting chapter and I can't wait for next weeks!

SCORE: 10/10
