I thought it was a little cruel of what Ginjo did to Ichigo lol. Orihime's change of character was a nice touch. New transformation looks... disappointing in my opinion.

Go go power rangers! In all seriousness Ichigo's transformation looks fine, and what Ginjou pulled to get his true powers to come out was clever.

Damn good episode.

Orihime had a nice surprise of powers and character. And it was so funny when she was eating donuts with Riruka. Also nice exposition about her parents/ life before Karakura town.

And the fight was pretty awesome. Ginjo's acting was pretty good and cutting Ichigo up in so many ways was great. Ichigo's new suit looks like its from a game i read about a while back, because of all those lines in it.

Next week looks like Orihime and Riruka get to know each other better.
I wish the omake would have been more like real tetris: You're just waiting for that I-block, but it never comes or does, but just when you've lost all hope.

No actually most of that is in the manga next week, and there are no straight up filler episodes coming out anytime soon.

Pretty good episode!
I was half-expecting the cutting eyes scene to be more gross, in the manga it seemed a little more intense when he cut his eyes...but either way, still good.

Many good parts in this episode. Ginjo played the bad guy just to get Ichigo going. Then it looks like Riruka actually felt sorry for Inoue when they talked.

Inoue and Riruka's donut scene was funny! xD
Ehh, I don't really like his transformation, and what Ginjo did to Ichigo was kinda cruel but I guess it made him see sense in the end.

I can't wait for more Inoue and Riruka scenes though, the comical factor of bleach!
As it turns out, living was a punishment...

The transformation was fine in my opinion, it was a pretty decent episode. Laughed at the donut scene and man I'm glad the whole cut his eyes out scene wasn't as gruesome.(Don't remember if it was worse in manga) Even with just like the cuts in his eyes was a bit grossed out. lol

Glad though that we can see Orihime actually have some power and as well as Chad instead of being in the way or just giving support.(more or less Chad since he was somewhat strong) Really evolving their characters now to the point where they can stand up for themselves!

All in all though good episode can't wait for the next.

I hope for a moment where Orihime breaks the rules of the game. Her powers make her more of a "cheat" then a "healing item". Or a game breaking bug, as Yukio is already cheating.

I'm liking the "new" Orihime more and more with each episode she actually does something. Chad is a bit meh, didn't like him *that much* before, and he didn't change much i'd say. If he wants to become stronger to be no burder, sure, but he wanted to do that before. Orihime actually developed. Maybe it's just because we did not yet get a chance to see what new abilities Chad gained since then, but at least his behaviour is the same.

And Ginjo playing bad guy..it wasn't convincing, even though there really is something about him. About xCution in general, but especially Ginjo. Maybe it's just because he gets the most screen time of all xCution members (not counting Ichigo), but it's just..idk.

On the one hand, was right about Ichigo needing something like that to break through, i mean, he always did that, the moment he was dead for sure he stood up and curb stomped whoever he was fighting.

On the other hand, Ichigo told him all that quite early, thats why they are doing it this way in the first place, so Ginjo slashing his eyes, fooling around, and being like "cya later, i'm killing Orihime" *ends up quite beat for Ichigo being worthless* "just a joke, can't a buddy make a joke once?"

--

And then we had that scence with Urahara, Isshin and Rukia again in the beginning. They should stop doing that if they are not proceeding that story line. Was it exactly the same as in the other episode(s?), or did they at least add a little bit, more dialogue or so? Not sure.

Glad to see the eye scene was not censored...
I like that Inoue actually has a resolution, instead of being the hopeless girl who has to be saved all the time.

I'm reallly liking this new ending, songwise atleast. Aqua Timez always has good songs for Bleach ^^

The tetris omake with Chad was funny =D

Can't remember, i think the discussion about Ichigo's future was not in there the first time they used that scene..

Anyway, they completely killed any suspense ( if there was any ) by showing Rukia's face in that scene....
In the manga it only was a voice..
Ok the voice might have given it away here to, but its still a little more mysterious.

No its the same as the manga, but this transformation is quickly replaced by a new one.
That means, Power Ranger Ichigo incoming next week =P

Kon has been taken away by SS after Fake Karakura.

Why would we know what happened to Vaizards and Espada if main character litterally can't see them. IT would not make sense to go into that story now.

They actually did censor the slash. Showing it from the back instead from the front. :)

Also yes. VOICE. And that in anime format would be same as face since 99% of people would recognize the VA.

Thats not all, count the number of pins she tried to use beofre getting cut off. I am betting she got some other new attacks too :)

The overall amount of pins however also hints that she has quite a bit of combinations left to learn :)

Lol, k, I'm asking srlsy.
He denied to take the badge of subtitute shinigami and then, I quess-but not rly know it, showed up while ichigo said goodB to Rukia. After that episode no KON at all.

As for Espada and Wizzards. I agree for now Ichigo do not see them, however they could make some episodes right after ''defeating'(funny shit)' Aizen and before wanishing of Ichi powers-there was a lot of crap filler episodes so why not epic ones.

Fullbring is as the name say, bring ones power to full potencial-as it was said: there are stages so as to reveal true potential of person on by one.
But they said that it can help with bringing back Ichigo power. Fullbring shouldn't be his powers itself but a bidge to obtain it wtf again.

Finally, finally, FINALLY: we're starting to see a little more action. Yes! Ichigo looked just fine, it's his upgraded powers that will determine the epicness of his costume. I'm glad we get to see a little more of Orihime. I still think Ginjo's a traitor though. I think he played the part a little too well. We almost never see something like a main character getting his eyes slashed and going blind, very nice touch. Still love the opening and I'm starting to enjoy the ending. Keep it up Bleach!

Okay, first off: YAY!! Orihime (especially) and Chad are no longer going to be dead weight, so to speak! Ginjou's definitely nuts for doing what he did to Ichigo just to get him to complete the Fullbring. Ichigo's new look reminds me of his old Hollow state from before. Very intriguing...

Such a good episode.

I thought it was brutal when Ichigo's eyes were slashed, didn't expect them to show close ups of it either.

The cliffhanger was typical but classic bleach. Expected Ichigo to develop his new awesome power just in time to stop Ginjo.

Stronger abilities from Chad and Inoue were very good news, Doughnut scene with Riruka was great too.

Okay, I have to say that I'm happy with Orihime in this arc. Hueco Mundo had her as annoying( still loved her though)

And I still don't trust Ginjo... And it was sO horrible what he did to Ichi. Who slashes out someone's eyes to bring out their full potential? Despite Ori being able to fully heal him, there is going to be PaIn (and I'm still wondering how he didn't scream more...) how do you get over that "ohh remember that one time your slashed out my eyes and pretended to be a bad guy to get to my true potential. Oh and you threatened to kill my friends and the person i swore to protect. Hahaha, but we're best buds now. Thanks for helping!" I mean really....

Thanks to Iri for the awesome Signature!! ^^

I agree. Something doesn't look right about her. I do think it was cool to see her new shield.

I actually like Ichigo's new outfit. I am curious to see him unleash his new powers.

The omake with Sado playing tetris was pretty funny.

Orihime upgrades weren't just limited to appearance. Cool. The donut scene with her and Riruka was nice. They would make good friends/rivals lol. Too bad Rukia is going to win in the end though ^^.

Ginjo really had me there. I really respect him a lot more after what he just pulled. He sliced the eyes of a friend's in half, this guy is hardcore.

Ichigo's new form looks hollow-ish. I wonder if it was on purpose.

(LoL at Chado playing tetris at the end)
