Awesome episode!!! Original and in Kubo's unique there-is-more-to-it-beneath-the-surface-style! What more to ask for? Ohwww, what I wish for it to come in color! Although a bit unclear, it looked like Renji was able to switch between the baboon king- and the serpent mode by calling out their names, which also made the zanpakuto change shape (slanted in the case of the baboon king, a serrated blade for the serpent king). It seems that the baboon king mode is brute force, but I am unsure about the serpent king mode. Get the feeling that the technique (zaga teppo: unsure about how to translate that) allows the absorption of the Reishi of Mask and to use it against him, causing him here to burn up. Or?
