Leaks

Both Bankai Kenpachi and Adult Toshiro's fights against Gerard from the manga will be fully adapted (chapter 668-672 & 674)

Bankai Kenpachi is extremely fast and the the animation + OST choices during his fight are very good

A lot of the action scenes seem to have been redrawn by Kanno himself

Adult Toshiro will be voiced by Yuki Kaji (VA: Eren from Attack on Titan, Todoroki from MHA)

Ep ends with this dialogue between Toshiro and Byakuya from chapter 674, after they send Rukia and Renji to go assist Ichigo:

The character featured in the end credits this time will be Rukia

Post credits scene: continuation of Horn of Salvation Ichigo scene from last ep, showing Orihime's reaction to the transformation and a resumption of the fight against Yhwach from chapter 676

Crazy impact frames and sakuga during Ichigo vs Yhwach

Number One (original version) will play during this scene, which leaker calls "best moment from the whole ep"

The explosion in this part will be generated by Ichigo's horn (Cero?), which was not clear in the manga:

End of ep poem by Orihime (first 2 lines) and Ichigo (final line): "There’s nothing I can do. I only want power. The power to protect, nothing more."

Next ep (45) title: DEFEND YOU
