Yeah I wanted the holllow to have died as well. I really hate it that Ichigo foesn't become a perminent Soul Reaper instead of this part-time thing he has going on.

The part where his Mother appeared was so sad!
And what was with that random guy appearing and telling Rukia about saving Ichigo's pride?

I wish that Hollow died :(

It wasn't too badly done, it makes me wonder if the author lost someone close to him since it did feel like Ichigo would act that way.

I thought it was kind of corny personally, though I did like the scene at the end with Ichigo and his dad. Other than that, it was meh.

Ichigo's father is a real dude.

Anyway, I expected the hollow to the die, but what ya' know? Well I think it's better this way, because it kinda sucks for such an important villain to die so early in the series.

But Rukia is really so cool character, I just can't get enough of her :0

Man... even after re-watching it, this arc never ceases to bring tears to my eyes...

Definitely one of the greatest bonding moments in early Bleach. Especially between Ichigo and Rukia.

However, apart from them, the words from that BRO Shinigami and Isshin's scolding of Ichigo at the end... oh man... the respect I felt this episode...

"Never forget, Ichigo. You are the man which the woman I fell in love with gave her life to protect. Live to the fullest, age to the fullest, go bald to the fullest, and die long after me. And if possible, die with a smile on your face. Otherwise, I'll never be able to face Masaki."– Kurosaki Isshin"

10/10 for the mini arc.

I'm pretty sure it was just a flash back and had nothing to do with Ichigo. What Ichigo was going through just reminded her of whenever that was. Probably from back when she was in training or something.

Then again, this is my first time watching it so chances are pretty good I'm wrong...

I think the guy who has asked it has already finished watching this anime ;) The same as millions of people did this year.
And yes, that was a flash back. And later it will be fully explained (in a longer flashback) what (to whom it refers). The guy, by the way, didn't refer to Ichigo at all (he used only 'he' pronouns.)

Good ending for this small arc. The talk between father and son at the end of the episode was nice. Isshin is one of the coolest dads I've seen in anime.

This was a nice arc, especially the part with Ichigo and his dad in front of the grave.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Liked that episode, this hollow sure is disturding x(
Though the show bamboozles me with sudden comedy during serious scenes.

The scene with Ichigo's father was neat.

Oh and didn't expect mom's death mystery to be revealed that quick.

Rukia really cares a lot about Ichigo. I wonder about that flashback of hers, maybe we will learn more about that moment later on.

The Hollow fled but Ichigo won't rest until he kills it. A pretty good small arc.
