Plot Twists in Bleach and Attack on Titan
In the world of anime, some of the biggest plot twists are revealed in Attack on Titan and Bleach. These plot twists are the reason why the series has such big fanbases. In Attack on Titan, the biggest plot twist is probably the revelation of Reiner and Bertholdt as the Armored Titan and Colossal Titan. This huge surprise was made even more shocking by the casual way it was revealed. It kicked the story to its highest possible level and led to a significant expansion of the narrative going forward.
The plot twist in Bleach was the identity reveal of Yhwach in Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War. When Yhwach was first introduced in the series, fans were shocked to see him as Yhwach looked exactly like Zangetsu who was Ichigo’s Zanpakuto. However, the tides of the series were turned when fans got to know that Zangetsu was Ichigo’s Quincy powers as Ichigo’s mother was a Quincy too.
Which is why Zangetsu resembles Yhwach. This revelation absolutely shook Bleach fans making them fall in love more with the series. These revelations were recently discussed on X(Twitter) dividing the fans by the question of which had the most epic plot twist.
