What Happened in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War Episode 17
In Bleach TYBW episode 17, “Heart of Wolf,” fans witnessed an intense and emotional battle from the Thousand Year Blood War. The episode’s highlight was Sajin Komamura, the Captain of the 7th Division, who showed incredible determination and resilience.
Sajin was seeking revenge against Yhwach for killing Genryusai Yamamoto, his master. To do so, he gambled with his life and unlocked his clan’s secret technique, the Humanization technique. This allowed him to transform into a powerful human-like form with immortality for a limited time.
In the episode, Bambietta, a Quincy girl, used her explosive reishi bombs in a fierce battle against Shinji, but Sajin intervened to save Momo. He realized that her attacks couldn’t be guarded against, as everything they touched turned into a bomb.
Through flashbacks, we learned that Sajin’s entire Werewolf clan was cursed for their past sins, and the Humanization technique was their way to gain redemption. Sajin ripped out his heart to learn the technique and gained immense power.
He then revealed a new form of his Bankai, Kokujo Tengen Myo-oh Dangai Joue. In this form, his Bankai appeared without armor, showing a fearsome demonic figure with burning eyes.
The episode was a visual spectacle and emotionally charged, making it one of the most anticipated battles in the Thousand Year Blood War arc.
