Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3 (episode 39) finale was released on December 28, 2024, and featured the battle between Yoruichi and Askin Nakk le Vaar. The fight soon took over the internet for its aesthetic choreography, but Yoruichi's animation impact frames were the highlight of the battle which the fans were all over the moon for.

More specifically, Yoruichi's Shunko: Raijin Senkei was the talk of the town as it combined colors and added to the beauty of the former captain of Soul Society's second division. Just like Askin Nakk le Vaar, fans also couldn't help but appreciate the power and charm of Yoruichi in all her glory.

Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3 episode 39 saw Askin Nakk le Vaar telling Ichigo and his friends about other Steinritters after defeating them. However, Yoruichi entered the battle out of nowhere. The Steinritter was unfazed but he couldn't keep his tact for long when Yoruichi activated her Shunko powers (her thunder powers).

While this happened, the Steinritter talked about how Yoruichi was beautiful and claimed that a woman's worth wasn't her face but how stylish she was in battle. After evading Askin's Reishi attack, Yoruichi packed a huge blow and unleashed her Shunko blast (Shunko: Raijin Senkei).

This attack was animated with finesse, capturing the volume of thunder and the impact of Yoruichi's Shunko (which combines high-level taijutsu with a user's Kidou). The impact had Askin out of sight for a while, during which Yoruichi saved her friends.

However, after she released Ichigo and the others, Askin returned. At this moment, Yushiro, Yoruichi's little brother, entered the fight despite her sister's anger over not interfering. So, the Yoruichi vs Askin Nakk le Vaar fight was left on 'to be continued' in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3 and will continue in part 4.

Reactions from the fans

The fans were in awe over the justice Pierrot Flms gave to this fight, more specifically how the episode captured the true beauty of Yoruichi Shihoin. Fans were adamant about Yourichi being one of the strongest characters and how her every scene is stunning and impactful, just like her charm as a woman.

Meanwhile, some fans considered Askin a "gentleman" who acknowledged the charm of Yoruichi without making any degenerate comments about her body. This proved that the battle was something more than a clash between two fights. Funnily enough, despite Yoruichi's packed Shunko attack, one stated that her attacks might be packed but they hardly did any damage to Askin.

"Yoruichi been stuntin every time" a fan said

"Why Yoruichi so damn beautiful with everything she does? Thank you Pierrot Films for blessing the fans with this" another fan said

"Askin a gentleman for admitting Yoruichi's beauty without any unneeded remarks" another one said

"100% power 0% damage" another one claimed

Final thoughts

The current Yoruichi vs Askin Nakk le Vaar fight in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War part 3 might be the perfect cliffhanger to their true fight in Bleach TYBW part 4. The current fight introduced the elements that these two fighters will use in the future and their final fight would see the amplification of these elements to declare a final winner.
