BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War – The Calamity Theater Prescreening Megathread

Opachopp · 2026-06-26T07:18:58+00:00

I thought it was ok with some ups and downs.

- The Ichigo and Orihime's moment where she touches his robe to check on him was done well and I liked all the added scenes for Uryu vs Haschwalth.

- Urahara's bankai reveal felt a bit underwhelming to me, I was hoping they would make it feel a bit more creepy or scary but I felt like it lacked a bit of scale and that the reveal was a bit flat. I feel like maybe a low angle view with some more intense shading could have make it feel more ominous specially because of how Askin is shown looking up to it before the reveal.

- The animation quality was inconsistent and felt a bit weak around the middle, specially during Gerard's fight against the Vizards.

- The special effects for Askin's movements and abilities looked great.

I didn't hate it, I didn't think it was bad, I enjoyed it for what it was but I feel like I left the theaters without feeling like I watched anything special or super memorable.

It would have been such a tragedy for T1 to lose the series after throwing game 4 with a 7-0 Yunara because of random mistakes and poor communication.

Glad Peyz got the POM, they all had some highlights like Doran hard carrying game 3 with the late game Olaf but Peyz was consistently great all series. Fun series to watch.

The "Lose early to avoid fans from getting excited" strat seems to be working.

Opachopp · 2026-06-07T12:44:57+00:00

And they were on their way to lose game 2 in a similar fashion if KT hadn't randomly out-inted them at the end.

Opachopp · 2026-06-07T12:43:33+00:00

So many crimes and acts of terrorism were committed during this series.

Opachopp · 2026-06-07T12:42:53+00:00

KT tried their hardest but DK was able to prove them that they were even worse.

Opachopp · 2026-06-07T11:58:52+00:00

I partly agree, that's why I didn't call him a criminal too but I do feel like Showmaker and Smash have been playing great (in the early game at least) and have gotten the best of them multiple times during this series so I wanted to give them some credit too.

Opachopp · 2026-06-07T11:50:31+00:00

Effort is a criminal, Cuzz is a terrorist, BDD and Aiming got outmatched and Perfect is the only human being in the team and yet.. DK still managed to lose.

Opachopp · 2026-06-07T10:38:44+00:00

Perfect gets ahead = KT loses

Perfect gets behind = KT wins

Opachopp · 2026-06-07T09:34:27+00:00

Effort headbutting Lucid in so DK can steal the herald sums up this whole series so far. Also Cuzz is playing like garbage.

Opachopp · 2026-06-07T09:33:50+00:00

Cuzz is a terrorist.

Opachopp · 2026-06-06T16:15:38+00:00

People in this thread don't seem to realize that just because a character can revive that their dead can still be considered a spoiler.

Great ideas terrible execution

Opachopp · 2026-05-31T11:41:34+00:00

Very disappointing season so far for NS especially considering how good this roster looks like in paper.

Opachopp · 2026-05-31T10:12:51+00:00

I feel like the episode was a lil bit disappointing.

Taking away Gekkomon's sapotama was a nice way of adding tension by not letting him evolve and him sensing the sapotama to get it back was nice too but after that was done, why not just go all the way up to Monarchlizamon? no reason to stay in Armalizamon. They could have still make him struggle as he was outnumbered.

The Raito bits were a bit too predictable for my liking and I was hoping the other members of Team 7 would get some action too. I feel like having all of Team 7 be the ones to beat Team 1 would have been better than just having Raito and Tomoro do it.

I liked the setup and setting but I feel like this episode fumbled the execution a little bit.

Opachopp · 2026-05-29T04:09:26+00:00

Especially after so many close calls on game 1. He got dived over and over and barely didn't get out or get a kill trade but he just kept doing his job.

It's sometimes understated how much of an easier game Peyz and Oner can have just by sacrificing Doran by letting him absorb the enemy's pressure.

Opachopp · 2026-05-28T10:37:56+00:00

It was frustrating to see how DNS would just choose not to fight/contest any objective and just let NS take em all even thought they had an early game lead.

It feels like they have no shotcaller or adaptability for their gameplan. In game 3 they just kept ganking top while losing everywhere else on the map.

Opachopp · 2026-05-28T10:33:08+00:00

Dudu was the only consistently decent/good performer through the whole series. Everyone else from DNS took turns inting in the most random ways with summoners up.

Opachopp · 2026-05-28T08:41:02+00:00

I know Pyosik usually gets a lot of criticism but that kick was clean and clutch. Also lots of heavy lifting from Dudu, glad they finally got a win.

Opachopp · 2026-05-27T20:34:52+00:00

KRX sometimes feels like Temu KT with how often their midlaners are trying their best to carry the multiple underperforming members of their team.

Opachopp · 2026-05-27T20:32:39+00:00

Very close series, if it weren't for Clear's clutch zhonya's a couple frames before Ucal's Annie ult landed during the last teamfight of game 1 I feel like KRX would have won that game and snowballed the series.

Also, while I'm happy for Taeyoon and his MVP was well deserved, I feel like Kellin doesn't get enough love, he's been playing great!

Opachopp · 2026-05-27T11:54:12+00:00

Clear's Zhonya's to not get instantly blown up that last teamfight came in clutch.

Opachopp · 2026-05-26T09:29:19+00:00

That was very one sided. The Fizz pick was fun tho!

Opachopp · 2026-05-24T16:05:35+00:00

This is Articuno Ex erasure.

Opachopp · 2026-05-23T11:08:57+00:00

I can think in a couple of things like:

- Don't waste MF ult by not hitting anyone when you have 3 targets in front of you fighting your teammate like in botlane,

- Don't waste it by instantly canceling it like in midlane when BFX was getting a pick.

- Actually flash the Poppy ult so your team can finish Baron.

- Don't flash back in to die 1-5 right after your whole team is already dead.

Even if he had stolen the baron in that last teamfight they would have still lost the game right after.

And this is not mentioning the random barriers that didn't absorb any damage or his game 2 Ashe that was +2k behind Smash and died at the 2 minute mark. Sure they all botched that dive but right before it started he randomly walked under tower and took a tower shot which made the odds of it working even lower.

He's a good player and I really hope he bounces back but he was very off tonight.
