I wasn't really sure how this arc would go as all the comments I read were that the storyline in the Manga sucked. Well I must say, in my opinion the show hasn't been this good since eveyone left Hueco Mundo. If the show remains this good I just may push my score back up to a 10. Really lovin' it.

Cool episode.

btw: What amazed me more than slashing the house is the fact, that the upper part seems to have been completely vaporized, while the lower part doesn't seem to have even a scratch. :)

I never got why Hitsuguaya put his reatsu into the sword. Ikaku, Kenpachi, Byakuya and Renji and Rukia have a lot more reason. I guess he's just there for the fan girls.

Out of respect for Ichigo. Ichigo is the man!

They should've came earlier, but well, that money increases the climax tension and anticipation, so why not.

Conclusion:
Getsugya tenshou=Destroy house + clear sky
Bankai-Tensazangetsu + Getsugya tenshou=Destroy half of country?
Bankai-Tensazangetsu + Hollow Mask + Getsugya tenshou = Whole country destroyed?
uhh...

Loved this episode, even though I read the manga chapter, this was amazing. It's great to actually see the story in video form, just looks much more lively. Lieutenant Rukia looks much cooler now, about time for her to get promoted :D
Ichigo's zanpakuto looks freakin' sweet. Can't wait for the next few episodes, haha)

edit- I wonder if the one hater watch the episode just to vote that they hate it.

And too bad Ichigo didn't go the Bankai + Hollow mask route when Ginjo said "nothing to be surprised about". Like "bankai" *pulls hollow mask down*. Ginjo would have had a heart attack hearing/seeing that.


Dont you remember the deicide arc? Ichigo unified his hollow and shinigami powers into whole. There is no mask left.

My face probably had such a weird expression when the doors with the captain appeared and more so when they came out of them. Byakuya!!! <3 Though he looks like he can be in sengoku basara...
I loved the fact that those were the ones that came out othe door cause it made me think that they are the closest Gotei 13 to Ichigo.

And Rukia's voice either got more annoying or it's cause I haven't heard her voice for a while. Which makes no sense cause I marathoned from epi 283... Shiro looks good with the scarf and squad 11 never changes. Aaa~ :)
EDIT: okay, Kenny's hair did change and Renji looks better with the band. Poor Ikkaku and his shiny bald head.

P.s. I was a bit confused. how did Ichigo not die from being stabbed it the chest with a broad sword? Because I'm pretty sure I saw blood with the initial stab.

Lol, also, was I the only one that thought Isshin was talking about Urahara when he said he wasn't the one holding the sword? Cause I was like 'oh yeah, just make him not trust Urahara like Ginjo said...' -.-

Been waiting for this for ages. They made the Ginjo/ Tsukishima explanation part a bit longer but I guess it'll make the next episode even better.

Lol at Rukia/Ichigo reunion was pretty funny as they always are :D

Ichi is back in beast mode! Will be awhile till his fight tho....But still rest of fights as well should be good :)

Ichigo stayed in his stabbed position for like half the episode. :D
They haaaaaaaaaaaad to put the boob stab scene also...


i was thinking the same thing XD they're solving a mystery while Ichigo's got a sword in his chest.

In my mind, when Ichigo kept telling Ginjo "Give it back" all I could visualize was him whipping out a pistol and pop! Pop!...2 shots...2 kills

Even though I knew it was coming, that stab in the back (b4 we find out it's Rukia) bewildered me like "what just happened?" but then I was like "oooh Ginjo what's your face looking like...impossible? no, not impossible, fact.

Oh snap it's about to get epic
How awesome was that super-senkaimon part :3 that has to be one of the baddest entrances ever! Love how everyone is spectating while ichigo's fighting lol
that wasn't a getsugatensho, that was just me swing my sword. you mad bro?

Ginjo's face says it just got real

Yes! Rukia is back!

I didn't know I would miss her so much, feels kinda weird tbh.

Overall this was a good episode. Ichigo gets his powers back, gives some snarky comments to the filthy backstabber Ginjo and it builds up to one great brawl in the coming episodes, I am content!

Also, Did he just cleave a house!? I hope he has a good insurance!

The way Ichigo got his powers back never did sit well with me. Also, it seems quite convenient that the Shinigami who have been around for hundreds of years change so much in appearance in just 18 months.

when i saw a coloured version of ichigo's new bankai, i legit thought it was really good fan art. after that i saw many more versions of the same thing. than i realized i got spoilered on his transformation.
but anyway, now the show starts. ichigo/shinigami vs xcution. i wonder if riruka will still like ichigo after all this?

Considering the ones who did appear here now are considerably quite young, we can't know it on if everyone changed their appearance. Those who appeared are quite younger than the rest of chars we know and most of them we left off with beginning a huge training to get better..

If everyone else like Shunsui, Yamaji, etc, changed appearance then sure.

QFT! thank you that finally someone notice such a non-significant thing:P I dont understand, remake of their haircuts drive me crazy... and is it only me? :/

Well Im glad that `the story` of xcution is explained because it seemed so fetched >.< that I've almost abandoned the show.

but still few things were annoying like: oh Orihime and Chad can teleport themselves now..., what happened to family and friends of ichigo?... wasnt Tsukishim explaing how he cheated Orichime and Chad when they were standing next to him?...
AND WHY, OH WHY ICHIGO does always have to be THE-ONLY-ONE-WHO-COULD gain this power and that power and that power (and break the chains -.-') in so short time tx only to his determination etc etc... (i dont read the manga but I assume that Kubo will find theory that fits, anyway super-ichigo definitly wont ever stop bother me)

(and again) why does everybody think that the moment rukia hits and shout on ichigo is funny? Dont get me wrong it usually is funny but in this particular moment it was just irritating
as much as the fact everyone changed their haircuts at the same time...
and Rukia haircut sucks -.-

Its not a drastic change if you really think about it... Despite bleach seemingly going on forever, we've only seen the shinigami in action for like under a year in the course of the show. What's to say They didn't change their styles before that. Yoruichi and soi fong wore different clothes and had shorter hair. At one point yoruichis hair was long too, before when we're actually introduced to her.
Byakuya had a ponytail when he was younger. Yumichika had long hair. Kenpachi wore his hair down. Tousen had different hair too.
So us actually getting to see a year actually past in the bleach verse and their appearance actually changing might seem weird cause it was over the point of one episode but it's nothing they haven't done before without us seeing or through flashbacks. The way I see it, they usually change style when something big happens.

I can tell that since they're ending the anime, they're doing all they can to make the last few episodes as well animated and put together as possible. Seriously, that FELT like a real Bleach episode. I've been watching this show for the longest time kind of uninterested but THIS. THIS is what a Bleach episode should feel like. Excellent.

Loving Ichigo's new blade. I noticed that it says 361/366 on the episode list so I'm guessing this arc is gonna end then. Is it getting something like a prequel or a new season or something?

Can't remember Ichigo crying so heavily like that, I felt kinda bad for him since he was just teased with a glimmer of hope before Ginjo snatched it away from him.

Then lo and behold, Rukia appears and re-encacts the first Bleach episode to awaken his powers! Nice to see how some members of the Gotei 13 have changed too. Toshiro looks badass.

Ichigo's new form is awesome, seems to be on par/stronger than when he fought Aizen judging from the force of his blade, not to mention his blue getsuga clearing the damn sky. Ginjo's bit more than he can chew.

All in all, this was a classic Bleach ep...and I loved it.

It shows that they put a lot of effort into this episode than the previous ones, the music during the Ichigo vs Ginjou fight was just epic and the episode overall was just great.

Shame it is the last one for awhile, but I think we will be seeing a re-incarnation of the anime series at some point.

RENJI! BYAKUYA! TOUSHIRO! KENPACHI! IKKAKU!

Oh man, this was one Heart-wrenching episode. First Ichigo actually cries, then accepts that his father and Urahara killed him.

Then right after.... (insert the legendary returning scenes). EPIC.

Also, that Getsuga Tenshou....

Haha, it's just the angle. If they drew her legs normal sized, the perspective would've been wrong.

Anyways.
When Ichigo was crying, I was like aww... <:) Poor baby. It made me remember that he's only a 17 year old. Carrying the weight of two worlds on his shoulders isn't an easy task. I'm proud of how far he's come <3 Love you, Ichigo. You can let it all out.
