Much like how Cowboy Bebop ’s opening theme “Tank” pales in comparison to other tracks on its OST , so too does Bleach: Thousand Year War ’s opening theme pale in comparison to its closing theme, “Saihate.” This season has been full of hype-as-fuck fight sequences, so a lot of pressure was on Sennarin to bring each episode home with a closing song that not only steadies the heartbeat of the audience but gets them tapping their toes in anticipation for the next episode on “Bleach Mondays.” Sennarin did not disappoint. “Saihate” is yet another banger of a theme song to add to the catalog of one of the “ Big Three Anime ” series. From the jump, the opening has that booty-bouncing beat that catches viewers’ attention before enticing them into a gentle head bob with its poppy chorus. This track is as fire Genryusai Yamamoto’s bankai .
