| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Finally they get here. There were some stupid "funny" scenes but it was mostly a good ep. A little hard to follow though because of all the stuff happening at once. I was hoping for more of Zaraki fighting though. |
  |
| it was pretty good. i agree, more action would have been awesome, oh well. |
 |
| Zaraki's fight should be the last one they show since that's what happened in the manga. I'm looking forward to how they're going to go about animating the scene where Mayuri is pretty gangsta with his golden teeth too lolz |
 |
I though it was an ok ep, i agree the comedy filler was a bit much. Ichigo was acting pretty dumb in this ep. |

| Thought the same thing, man heal him back so he can kill someone like number 8 or 9 Should be easy for him, SO USELESLY WATCHING... Kempashi's fan club is already there. Ku-taicho in pink. |
     |
| Kenpachi's finally back, I won't complain. dabazzinator said: I have the feeling that Ichigo couldn't beat either Kenpachi or Byakuya again, but ultimately the main character always prevails.wait so if kenpachi can beat noitra, does that mean he is stronger than ichigo now? |
| yeah the comedy was kinda bad, plus ishida and renji should be way more hurt. I really hate Szayel he still just stands around talking while the other 2 are actually fighting. |
 |
| Can't wait to watch this one |
 |
| this ep was good man they need to stop with the comedy and give more fights to be honest im really trying to check out that szayel fight and wats going to happen to chad my fav character cant wait till next week. |
 |
| Comedy and Bleach does not mix!!! But this was still a good episode |
 |
| I really liked Mayuri's line, " I feel sorry for you. You are about to experience a world beyond your comprehension." |

dabazzinator said: and why the hell isnt inoue healing ichigo? is she that dumb? I was actually wondering the same thing |
 |
dabazzinator said: Not necessarily... Grimmjow weakened Ichigo quite a bit before he had a chance to fight Noitora. I was also baffled by the fact that Inoue didn't do anything.wait so if kenpachi can beat noitra, does that mean he is stronger than ichigo now? and why the hell isnt inoue healing ichigo? is she that dumb? oh and the ending theme song is freakin' addicting. the chorus owns |
 |
| isn's anyone else wondering about 197. don't ya'll remember at the end of one of the eps (190 i think) where Kon and Hanataro Yamada were talking about airtime.... i think we are going to get a break from the fighting sadly. >,< i wonder what it will be. Quir said: i second that.My god, Inoue. i do think that it was hard to follow. they should have stuck more closely to the manga version.... with these fights anyway. but i'm excited that the captains are finally here! YAY!!! now we get to see some real ass-kicking. Ichigo just needs his butt healed now. |

yukihime said: i think we are going to get a break from the fighting sadly. >,< i wonder what it will be. I doubt that. However, I do know what you are referring to. At the end of 190, Kon is upset because he doesn't know when he'll appear next and says to Hanataro "You're in the same boat right?" at which point the script for 197 flashes up. Hanataro then says to himself "I can't tell him, I'm getting some airtime pretty soon." |

| They need to talk less and fight more. |
 |
| Less talk, and less of the attempted comedy from those two. Oh and I want the eyepatch off on Kenpachi. |

 |
| this episode could be some much better,but damn these pointless comedy crap. kateykayy said: dabazzinator said: and why the hell isnt inoue healing ichigo? is she that dumb? I was actually wondering the same thing aren't we all thinking that |

| nothing interesting for the episode.. too bland just watch for the opening and ending song. :( |
| Hmmmmmmm.... expected this much from this episode, just KNEW they weren't gonna give us the good action yet in this one, hopefully it'll be in next one !! This was more of an introduction of fights to come.... with lame dondochaka and peche ''jokes'' and indeed.... Wtf is Inoue doing , standing around there.... Whow I'd really like to watch pink-chan fight sometime too though !! Whonder what that wil be like ! |
| More like an introduction episode, just to say which captains are over at HM. Hope next week will be more interesting an a bit more action packed. |
| Can someone please slap Inoue? Why is she just standing there and not healing Ichigo -_- |
     |
| yay. glad to see that the animation is picking up as well as the fight scenes. finally back into the real part of the story. it feels like forever since ive seen the main story arc again without some long ass flashback. |
| instant K.O. by Ken-chan was awesome;P |
| Fucking lol @ Arrancar Encyclopedia. |
| Kenpachi never really lost to Ichigo, it ended in more of a draw, but yeah it does seem a bit off that Ichigo has "powered up" twice, and yet seems weaker than he did in soul society. That is one of my bigger gripes with the series. Kenpachi wasn't really going all out in his battle with Ichigo, but still it is a major plot hole in my opinion. I was just glad to fianally see some blood this episode, the introductions actually were paced better than I was expecting, and is really a step in the right direction. I'm kind of looking forward to the next few episodes after bieng a bit dissapointed in the action the last few weeks. |
SNDK said: More like an introduction episode, just to say which captains are over at HM. Hope next week will be more interesting an a bit more action packed. Spot on. Still, I liked this episode a lot. Let`s hope the action will be epic, since the fighting that was in this episode was pretty weak. Very weak actually, if you know what I mean. It seemed so off, nothing special at all. Still, whatever Bleach does, I won`t get disappointing:P |
TechDragon said: OmegaRed said: That was a really good line.I really liked Mayuri's line, " I feel sorry for you. You are about to experience a world beyond your comprehension." I'm not a fan of Mayuri, but his lines here were just great. I can't wait for next episode. And Arrancar Encyclopedia was hilarious xD |
  The best shape for an angel! ;) |
| Good episode - it was just introducing all the captains that came - talk as usual but got some action still! and my god Inoue just heal Ichigo already >.< The Arrancar Encyclopedia was simply HILARIOUS XD hopefully looking forward to an action packed episode next week!! |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| and the show is finally getting good again |
| Pretty good. Mayuri looked ridiculous though.... But at least he'll help us get rid of that freaking annoying espada >.> btw did Yachiru grow, or was it just the terrible artwork that popped up every now and then (look at Kenpachi when he's introducing himself for example) |
 |
| If only because this is the most interesting episode since like February or March, I'll say that I like it. |
| i like it.. but i was waiting for more action... more fight.. |
 |
| Now that each of the captain's introductions in HM are done, things will definitely become a lot more exciting in the next 3-4 episodes. Yay for Mayuri's return and the Arrancar Encyclopedia. |
| This one was indeed interesting and it was good to see Captain Kourchki again but lol at the weird hat he was wearing |
| |
| at everyone who keeps bringing up how Ichigo got owned by Nnotria and whatever seems to have forgotten that Ichigo just fought Grimmjow, not only does he not have his mask, but he was extremly weak cause of that fight with no time to heal what do you expect, he just finished with #6 and you expect him to fight #5 right after? give me a break ~_~ |
| The Arrancar Encyclopedia part was funny XD |
| *badass mode activated* |
| Really nice ep ^^ 5/5 |
| thought it was ok. glad to see yachiru. wish the fights would progress a bit faster though |
     |
| MAYURI!!!! :) |
| "Every man shall reap what he has sown, from the highest lord to the lowest gutter rat. And some will lose more than the tips off their fingers, I promise you. They have made my kingdom bleed, and I do not forget that" |
| I actually screamed" Holy **** ! BLOOD ! SOME ACTUAL BLOOD !" when Kenpachi sliced up Tesla. As for Ichigo, while there are obvious plotholes found in the power levels there's a few explanations to make up for it. Ichigo's latent mix of Shinigami and Hollow powers bring his raw power at a higher level than both Byakuya and Kenpachi, as shown in Soul Society (just that we didn't know it was because he was a Vizard). During the Kenpachi fight he let himself go and just released all his powers, which led him to a draw (he would have won had Kenpachi not stabbed him in the heart before that part). During the Byakuya fight his Hollow actually takes over and basically beats the crap out of Byakuya. Afterwards Byakuya just kind of takes pity on Ichigo and considers it his victory. What both fights prove is that Ichigo has the power to take them on, but in terms of experience he has not yet mastered using all that power. His Hollow powers especifically are both a boon and a drag, since they drain his stamina which means he can't use the full extent of his powers for a long time, plus it means he's left defenseless after he uses them. As a summary: I believe Ichigo is still as powerfull if not more powerfull than Byakuya and Kenpachi. But he lacks control over his Hollow powers and hasn't dedicated much time to refine his Bankai skills. Plus, it's more dramatic to finish every fight on the border of death, I guess. |
 |
| My first impression was like "Yay! Captains are there now!" OmegaRed said: I really liked Mayuri's line, " I feel sorry for you. You are about to experience a world beyond your comprehension." nice one ^^ I liked it too... |
  |
| I loved this Episode!! I never liked Kanpachi .. but after this Episode I truly thought about having him as one of my favorite characters X3 Byakuya was really cool too =) But why Inoue keep standing there doing nothing while Ichigo is hurt badly?!!! |
 |
| Awesome episode. But comedy scenes are not funny. |
