| 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. |
 |
| 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! |
 |
ohbeecity said: 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).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~~ |
|
| Less talk, more fighting, 4 out of 5 |
 |
kie_ said: 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 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 :] |
 |
| it was pretty good ep.. Kenpachi was the best he always lought |
| 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. ♥ |
-Lighto- said: The Arrancar Encyclopedia part was funny XD yeah that sonido race made me laugh a lot :P |
 |
| awsome episode...didnt expected to see so many capitans abd they are all overpowring the espadas stil i little shame that ichigo group was deafeated  looking forwardto the next one |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
Zero_r2 said: 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. awsome episode...didnt expected to see so many capitans abd they are all overpowring the espadas stil i little shame that ichigo group was deafeated 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. |
|
| 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? |
 |
| You said Funny indeed =D |
| |
| Kurotshuchi looks ... different O_O like a pharaoh or something xD and zomg Byakuya <3 it's kick ass time >=D and there's a bit too much talking D: so much talk of names and blah blah blah but hopefully the next few eps focus more on fighting ^^ |

I was actually wondering the same thing aren't we all thinking that 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 mulderman said: Pretty good.

But thats what makes Bleach Bleach. 4/5 from me. And oh yeah, the Arrancar Encyclopedia was great. |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| 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. |

| Yay everyone came :] |
