With its most recent episode, Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Part 2 has already altered how the last arc of the original Bleach manga played out, and it was unquestionably a welcome alteration given what transpired in the original.

With the new episodes of Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War coming this Summer, the real conflict between the Soul Reapers and the Sternritter troops has finally begun. The previous episode’s cliffhanger showed the strongest members advancing on Soul Society. Fans are getting to see more of their cruel strategies in action as of the second episode of the cour.

The Thousand-Year Blood War in Bleach The first scene of episode 15 introduced a few Sternritter members who had not engaged in combat in the first season. This features the adversary BG9, who appeared robotic and once vanquished Soi Fon in the premiere episode of the new anime. In an effort to convince the Vice Captain, Marechiyo Omaeda, to talk, he approaches Marechiyo and threatens Marechiyo’s younger sister Mareyo.

However, in the original Bleach manga, this conversation took place very differently, with a considerably worse outcome for Mareyo.

Before skewering Omaeda’s younger sister Mareyo, BG9 threatens the entire family in chapter 549 of the Bleach manga. Before Soi Fon arrives, these threats intensify significantly, but Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 15’s interpretation of the material elevates Marechiyo to a heroic level. Marechiyo is able to jump in front of his sister and deflect the assault that was intended for her, so he is not caught off guard when his sister gets hit.

The Vice Captain will benefit more from the alteration, even though it doesn’t seem like much of a shift given that it lessens some of the violence and coldness from BG9’s initial attack on Marechiyo. As the anime progresses, he and Soi Fon will engage in full combat with the Sternritter, and in hindsight, he’ll appear far better than the manga version in which his sister was fatally wounded.
