Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War arc has left everyone speechless. It was the last arc of Tite Kubo’s magnum opus and needed something special to happen. With better animation and character development, it won over everyone’s heart, and Bleach re-established itself as one of the Big Three of anime.
The final arc saw the Soul Reapers going against the Quincies led by Yhwach. Currently, the fans are waiting for part three after the second part was released a few months ago. While waiting, they came across a new social media post. Homelander was about to enter Soul Society in the post. With the thought of a fight, most fans vouched for Renji Abarai to take on the villainous Supe.
Renji Abarai Has Been Sidelined For A Long Time
Renji Abarai is one of the potent members of the Gotei 13. He is the lieutenant of Division 6. Even though he was introduced as Ichigo Kurosaki’s enemy, they soon became friends. Renji developed a lot throughout the plot but was often sidelined since Ichigo Kuraski was the protagonist. He had learned to control his Shikai and later also unlocked Bankai. One of his greatest qualities is that he never backs down from a fight.

With Homelander coming to the Soul Society, it might finally be his time to shine. The fans have chosen him to be the perfect opponent for Homelander. His Zanpakuto, Zabimaru, is a monkey with a snake as its tail. It is one of the most unique Zanpakuto in Bleach and can pose a threat to any Gotei 13 captain. In its Bankai form, it can stretch a long distance, which is a good strategy to stop Homelander from flying too far. The sword can also bite and weaken its enemies. But Homelander also has heat vision and superhuman strength.
Zabimaru can also use energy blasts from its mouth. With everything considered, it might be a great duel and finally, the fans can see the duo of Renji Abarai and Zabimaru in proper full-fledged action. Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is yet to show an appropriate fight sequence of the red-head. With Homelander there, the situation might change.
Fans React To Homelander’s Soul Society Visit
The internet is a great place for imagination. People can use their imaginations through pictures created by artificial intelligence. One of its examples is Homelander visiting the Soul Society. After seeing the picture, it spread throughout social media. It was not long before fans started to comment on the picture and chose Renji to be his opponent.
‘Roar Zabimaru’ will finally have reasonable credibility

While Homelander vs. Renji Abarai is impossible, the momentary joy that the picture provides is enough for the fans. But the Bleach fandom dearly hopes that the redhead gets the respect he deserves through a proper fight. With Thousand Year Blood War being the last arc, it might be Tite Kubo’s last chance to fulfill the fans’ wish.
Bleach: Thousand Year Blood War is available on Crunchyroll.
