It felt dragged out a bit... and his power looks like a left-facing swastika(卍), like his hilt on tensa zangetsu...

This episode ended too soon...again. Really liking this arc.

Nice to see Sado as a motivational speaker. Its been a while since the last time he got some significant screen time and an effect on the plot.
And if i didnt know better, Giriko seems more like a bad guy than one of the good guys. Dont mess with time.

Ichigo's fullbring does look like a swastika, but it also kinda looks like a huge shuriken.

Also Riruka was less annoying and more cute in this episode.

I liked the flashback. It really shows that Ichigo has been through so much with his shinigami powers.

Looking forward to watching the animation of his fullbring next week.

I do not like Giriko, never did and never will. Especially when

Now I understand the OP vid of where Ichigo fights with a black/red thingy.
But it was quite easy for Ichigo to obtain the power of "Fullbring."
Well, Ichigo is a fast learner......

So that Riruka chick decides to help Ichigo perform fullbring.

She kidnaps some poor guy to be sacrificed for this task then tells the time-dude to do whatever.
Then when the poor dude's life is sealed and the shit hits the fucking fan she's all like "wtf did you do old man!!" thus pushing the blame on the time-dude.
So not only she's pretty much ignorant and arrogant, she's also a fucking coward.

For fuck sake, MC tries to obtain power and risks his life to save people and she decides to end a poor guy's life in order to give MC, power.
That's kinda fucked up man...
If I was Ichigo, I wouldn't be so pleased about how I got my powers back. Actually I'd be pretty much mad.
I expect Ichigo to beat the living shit out of her for this crap when he gets out of the box.

^ Overly dramatic person.

I like Giriko but he doesn't seem to be the type of guy you can trust. Its hard to believe he wants to get rid of his powers, I mean, what type of guy who wants to get rid of his powers puts such "Bogus" (Foul) terms, like seriously?

I think the fact that Ichigo can use fullbring makes absolutely no sense. If he can use it now, that means he could've used it back then when he lost his powers. I mean, someone who has lost his powers must've thought about moments in which they beared pride for their power. You can't tell me that he wasn't able to do activate it a long time ago but suddenly he can do it now.

Exactly, does your mother have to be attacked by a hollow while she's pregnant for the child to have "fullbring" skillz...*gasp*...nahh.

It's not explained yet in the manga either.. But Kubo did promise that Ichigo's birth story would be mindblowing.

There is more to just activating the fullbring. His training is not over yet.

About Ichigo's fullbring, he never really held his shinigami pass like that before while thinking of his pride as a shinigami substitute.

Honestly, I was expecting there being a little more to learning fullbring for the first time than simply thinking about his pride as a Shinigami while holding the pass. I thought to "draw out the soul" of the pass, he'd have to commune with the soul, like he would his zanpakuto or something. ^^; I almost thought he was going to do so until Chad started shouting about pride. I was like, "Shut up Chad, you're interrupting him!"

Not that I have anything against Chad, and it's nice to see him be significant again. Just... I was expecting more. ^^;

Giriko seems like a creepy man; I don't like him very much. Riruka is cute and annoying at the same time, and she seems like a terribly immature person. I wouldn't want to trust my safety to her. &gt;&gt;; Jackie is probably the most trustworthy of the Fullbringers... aside from Chad. ^^ Not sure why I feel that way, but it's just a gut reaction. She seems the most level headed, somehow.

I loved the omake! The signs he posted. XD

Some people think papa!Quincy is being a jerk, but I say it shows how much he actually cares for Ishida. He doesn't want his son to be used by a woman who doesn't actually care for him, just what he can get her. Stupid nurse women. &gt;&gt;;

Nice episode.

They manage keeping a rather nice and slow pace without making it too noticeable so they might actually get to a good point in the plot by the time the anime catches up to the manga, which is a good thing I guess.

Hated this episode. The only cool thing was to see when he managed to activate his fullbring. The rest (95%) of the episode was complete crap, id rather watch a filler. It was så horribly slow, they would manage to put 3 episodes of such pace into 1 episode and it would still be considered slow.

The anime can add some small details about someone history or current activity, it makes the world feel more lively and such.

19 pages (depends on how many chapters they put into an episode) vs 20 something minutes.


Anyway did they changed the Manji a bit ? it seems like the outgoing strokes are more centered than in the manga where they connect to the outer strokes end.

Regard activation, i think (next episode?) you'll see that his fullbring is not permanently activated. When he did something it deactivated, so yeah.

Going by shinto beliefs and pantheism. Soul of object is your experiences with it. Your activities with the item or place ARE the ritual itself to honor it and commune with it.

not really. They mostly just added it more "unstable" flaming stuff to it and made it more similar to aizen's sun cross(which is exact same symbol thematically, hence connection between aizen and ichigo symbolically)

The way he talked about his power seems that he either did something with it he can't undo or something like that and does not want that responsibility, imo.

remember that Ichigo broke through rukia's binding spell even before he got shinigami powers?

And chad hit a hollow with a telephone pole which is supposedly impossible.

the idea of FB has been there since start. just not named.

ichigo had enough contact with hollow energy, hell HE HAD HOLLOW energy in himself as part of shinigami powers.
that very fact should be enough for him to draw out his power.


Also lets not forget that Kubo did say that the secrets surrounding Ichigo's birth will make us look at story in entirely different way. We don't know Ichigo's power sources yet. We don't know the mystery behind GETSU swords that both he and hi sfather have(and both have same technique) we don't know the mysteries behind Isshin nor behind Aizen nor why aizen's sword is also -getsu, nor how Aizen knows Ichigo "since his birth"

ichigo's birth and existance is shrouded in mystery :)

it just generally has to do tha tmost of people just skim through manga and claim "nothing happened". However when anime adapts, each panel gets enough attention to catch even those with short attention spans.

The fact that due to Kubo's bigger involvement with anime development team we are getting some things expanded upon is also nice.

THIS.

ichigo is a very talented when it comes to learning.

Let's not forge that Ichigo manages to stay at the top part of school grades without even learning or caring about it. Its implied that he could hold top1 position witho0ut any problems.

Then we have all his training cases and how fast he seems to grasp information.

Ichigo is not just a "brawler" he is a genius.

Big thanks to Fai for some explanations, Bleach still has quite some mysteries that have yet to be unraveled... I don't have any problems with Bleach's plot currently and, once again, "good job" to the anime producers...

Also, that quickened flashback in Ichigo's memory definitely encompasses the whole series to date (with the exception of the filler sagas of course). His Fullbring looks like it'll be pretty awesome.

I really like the fullbring powers that they have displayed so far. They are not just rehashes of previous powers. I also find it amusing that the powers' names are in English.

"Dollhouse" is probably one of the most absurd powers, but it was definitely interesting. I am going on to watch another!

I think Bleach is starting to get better. Well the episode was great, cant wait to see Ichigo's fullbring... I thing the others from Gin's gang have interesting fullbrings too...

Intense.

Chado's words were powerful. The flashback scene with Ichigo made me realize how much I love Bleach. "There wasn't a single moment where I wasn't proud". Bleach leaves me speechless once again.

Also, Riruka was pretty funny this episode. Her fullbring is perfectly befitting for her character. ^^

When King Bradley says don't mess with time, you don't mess with time.

WRONG!!

A decent episode, King Bradley is scary and Dollhouse is such a ridiculous fullbring.

I like how Chad's power finally got explained.. but I thought that the Hougakyu explained it already? I'm a bit confused now. Anyway, it's great that he finally became a character with a role once again.
