I almost wanted to see some more from Unohana. She's a healer, she naturally wouldn't be fighting. I wish the others wouldn't have backed down though. When peaceful people are pushed to the limit, they can kick some hardcore ass. (:

Also, funny how everyone seems to be fighting their equivalents. Scientist vs scientist; Blood-thirsty vs blood-thirsty~~

Annoying episode! Orihime is just crying instead of healing. The captains are all just standing around talking instead of doing something. And worst of all, flipping between them every minute. Argh!

Unohana is actually a strong captain, and I'm sure her vice-captain would have been enough to handle those low level guys (were they even Arrancar? I think they were just Fraccion-kind Hollows).

Indeed.
If not her healing power, I'd totally 'bleach' Inoue out of this anime. >_>

Anyway, it's obviously getting better, though I'm waiting for more action :]

Stupid bitch Inoue needs to start healing Ichigo. There's no Nnoitra subordinate there now, so heal him already goddammit. And Ichigo is being stupid like usual "yeah I can't fight because I'm the main protagonist in this story lolz!".

Too much talk, we all would like some more action.
And I did enjoy the comedy, although it felt sort of out of place...

Lol @ arrancer encyclopedia. Byakuya is so awesome. ♥

I'm just a little saddened that the stronger and more experiences captains stayed behind. I have enough of Byakuya and that scientist what's his face. How about giving us some Kyouraku and Ukitake action for a change? They're supposed to be the two most experienced Shinigami around, being the first two graduates from the official Shinigami Academy place, and basically the first two official Shinigami Captains, outside their leader. Seeing how big a history those two have, it's a shame we barely even got to see their Shikai, and we have yet to see their Bankai.

I don't mind Kenpachi, since he's always a riot and his style of fighting can't ever bore you. But Mayuri is just too cheap in a way (poison that only he can cure, shikai that causes paralysis, being able to survive the destruction of almost all his body AND regenerate himself, not to mention last ditch elixir to liquify himself and escape) which really makes him boring IMO. And Byakuya... we've seen everything he's got. His abilities are all based either around flash steps, or Senbonzakura, which means a lot of flower knives and swords, and flying around at insanely high speed.

After several episodes where there should have been no censor on the injuries, I am delighted that there is blood again. The Kenpachi insta-KO made my day.

1. The comedy filler was too much I agree

2. I wanted to kick Inoues ass. Why didnt she heal Ichigo ?

3. It is lame that the help appears always in the right time- do they wait till the situation gets hopeless?

I'm not since I know that all the calories that are needed to run Inoue's brain are going straight to her boobs. :D

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)


Yeah, I was thinking that Yachiru looked like she got taller or something there. >.>

Overall, its what I've come to expect from Bleach; lots of talking, a bit of action. But thats what makes Bleach Bleach.

4/5 from me. And oh yeah, the Arrancar Encyclopedia was great.

just watching this after reading the manga... it makes the anime so much better for some reason. knowing how this will all play out... i need the next ep now!

and yes I agree the comedy is getting really dumb, especially since dondochakka and pesche (i lost a year of my life painfully typing those names) are way overused.

They need to talk less and fight more.


Why? I Think this anime needs more character development, Ichigo is prolly one of the most overrated chars ever created (imo) He is the most dull char in any anime i've seen.
Ichigo fights --> Ichigo screams "I will protect everyone" ---> Ichigo gets his ass handed to him ---> Ichigo discovers hidden power ---> Ichigo wins and repeat, Add some dull enviorment like white/gray desert with pointless red pillars, And fights that doesnt progress the story that takes like 15 eps. (THIS ANIME FAILS) --- This is all my opinions (and yes I still watch it even tho I hate it in hope of it getting abit intressting 1 day).
have a good day :)

it would be the latter. that and zaraki's only goal is to have fun fighting, so who knows what level he fights at. in any case this battle is amazing, cant wait to see it animated.

It's your second opinion. He already drained all his energy by using his Hollow Power for an extended amount of time. And stupid Orihime is standing there instead of healing. Well, they also trained for the fight so they are stronger too, but not that stronger.

At least she got some screentime this time. Last time she went around healing everyone and got almost no credit for it.

I have a friend who reads the manga and told me a little bit (very little) about what's was going to happen a couple of months ago, and the one thing that we both agree on is that Tite Kubo like wrapping people up in Nerf layers that they always end up shedding when they fight someone stronger then the last person they fought and hardly beat. I think a lot of it thought has to do with Ichigo's experience level. Kenpachi and Byakuya have been at this whole fighting thing probably a LOT longer then Ichigo has. That and he still hasn't gotten full control over his Vizard powers. If he could do that, from what I understand he would proabably still lose to Aizen, or the Old Man, but he would definatley give them a run for their money.

That was pretty epic! I don't mind the comedy elements because without them some sections could drag, not the fights but the bits in between.

And Inoue probably doesn't heal Ichigo as she'd have to spend a lot of time doing it without a fight raging around her...

MAYURI! I would in never in my life thought I'd be this excited over him. Byakuya and Kenpachi is a given but for Mayuri to be matched up against another psychotic experimental Scientist is too perfect. Mayuri better make that trash cry and show him how being crazy is really done.

Back to the main players, Byakuya and Kenpachi were freaking epic this episode. Captains may not have the same amount of reiatsu as these Vaizard/Arrancar but they're experience and skill is more than a match for them.

It's so pleasing when the trashy members of Espada are getting trolled. Let's go!
