| FUCK YEAH ZARAKI |
kevin_video said: godoftheds said: so yeah I'm betting Byakuya kicks the living crap outa the guy about to kill Rukia regardless though next episode should be good though I'm not sure how the captains will be able to take the higher level espada when ichigo couldnt. afterall his hollow transformation thing gives him way more power than a captain right? True, but it also drains him of his energy, and he can only keep it going for 11 seconds. A captain has that much more energy, and their attacks aren't temporary. That problem was resolved before the last filler arc. As was stated, after he got a pep talk from Inoue he was able go the whole fight with grimjow with his mask on. |
wolfsrainXD said: What's wrong with Neliel? Perfectly in tune with her mask. At least they're less weird and more in tune with familiar fantasy entities. Hollows are ussually just freaky looking things. Just look at Aporro Grantz.i laughed at the tesla's and neliel's transformations xD wtf a boar and a centaur part-human part-antelope?! lame! |

| geeez took them forever to get to that point. nel kinda reminded me of SSJ3 gotenks haha. it was only a matter of time before someone came to bail them out. as hopeless the situation they made it to be, one only expects someone to show up at the very last second. i am not really impressed with that development; its too obvious. now if ichigo had actually died and became a true hollow right then and there, that might have been more fun. |
noteDhero said: crappy episode all around. I'm starting to hate when shounen anime break the fourth wall, because it always seems to happen in order to fill time. The lame comedy relief needs to stop, and this show needs to get down to business. Would you rather they released an episode every other or even every three weeks instead. They need a way to keep the Anime progress in check compared to the manga progress. Anime's take less time to make. That aside, another episode lacking in blood/wounds (Any sort of mark beyond a bruise in Nnoitra after Nel used her lance?) Predictability high (I was wondering who would show up in the nick of time, Glad it wasn't who I thought it'd be), but a better way to recap instead of wasting 5-7 minutes at the beginning of the show. Just wondering, can anyone confirm for me if the lyrics in the 'suspenseful' music are present in the actual song, or was that just thrown in in this episode. (right around the 20 minute mark) |
| Zaraki Owns!!!! |
RICKBO said: Well, I know I've seen this variation of the song before. Soundtracks ussually have several versions of the same song, so it might just be a different variation. It actually threw me back to more older episodes, since they hadn't used it in a while. Maybe it was an intended reaction, considering it was used just before reintroducing an old character.noteDhero said: crappy episode all around.

(right around the 20 minute mark) Also, while your argument is valid, it's not all because of the usual "anime is faster to make" thing. The Bleach manga is formidably slow. You'd get chapters where the characters spent the whole time just posing around and releasing their zanpakutou, with a few words here and there. So obviously, such a slow pace leads to an even slower pace in the anime. In other words, the manga needs to stop dragging it's feet already. And I think the slow pace isn't as much of a problem as the lack of blood/wounds is right now (After all, the Soul Society arc wasn't exactly fast either). A Zaraki Kenpachi fight without bloodshed isn't something I can imagine, but that's precisely what we will be getting if this keeps going. |

| OOHH YEAHHH.. at last appear Kenpanchi! t |

Checked out Gendou's and the lyrics are present (All English too). Songs's called Nothing Can be Explained - Mike Wyzgowski Also, I haven't been following the Manga because I prefer reading it by book instead of on screen, and we're up to 27-some volumes at $13-$15 each here. Just getting handed to by Grimmjaw on earth judging by cover art. ... Damn that was a high quality episode. |

| KENPACHI!! YESS! Finally my favorite character is getting some more screen time~ xbebop said: Anyone know the song that plays in the background during the end? Nothing Can Be Explained. [edit] Ninja'd~ |
 |
| Yay! finally we get to see kenpachi go all out I wonder how thisll turn out since i dont read manga since i enjyo being surprised i read manga of animes after i see the animes or am starting to at least. Also dude Pesche is ownage whipping out his sword that was some funny friggen crap nothing like adult humor with Ishida ^_^ |
| Yeah, finally Bleach is BACK!! |
| *badass mode activated* |
| Kenpachi is the only worthwhile character left in this show.It has been a VERY long time since I've actually looked forward to an episode. |
| wow kenpachi next week!!!!!! can't wait to see how awesome he is!!! |
 |
| Why didn't Tesla just step on Ichigo's head. Seriously. And the censoring was just stupid. Blah. Finally Kenpachi shows up, resulting in a surprising revelation: I actually enjoyed this episode. o.o In any case, Kenpachi saved the day (in multiple ways). |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| about time kenpachi, i've been waiting for this through the entire filler arc. |
 |
| About time they got here. I can't wait for the war of words....you guys know which battle I'm referring to. |
 |
TheGreatMelon said: It started happening during the first filler arc. When the Arrancar arc started it still had plenty of blood and wounds, particularly from Ichigo's side. When the second filler arc started, even black blood was a rare event. Now even wounds are being covered up (for goodness sake, where's Nnoitra's wounds, or Ichigo's for that matter). Next they will fight with wood swords, to be on the safe side, just watch.Glad that I am finally looking forward towards the next episode again. Also, is the censoring something that has been gradually happening over the course of the show, or did it just start recently? If did start recently does anyone know why? I only noticed it when my roommate started watching the early episodes of Bleach that seemed to be filled with a bit more blood. |
|
| They're here, they're here! Soul society arrives at last!! I quite enjoyed this episode, the best from all the last ones and I think the next ones will be waaaay better :D We get our bleach at full power again! Zaraki ftw <3 |
 |
| not bad, not bad!! 5/5 |
| very NICE i waiting for epizod like this (kenpachi) i cant wait for next week ;] but anyway why kenpachi was in hueco mundo? <thinking> we gonna know next in ep xD |

| a horse?! Lol, but finally the others are here!!!! I forgot about Chad and Rukia :P |
 |
| man its about time they show what happened to chad.lol but my dude kenpaichi came and is that black guy number 7 o well only time will tell. |
 |
| When Kenpachi showed up I was strongly remined of a great Doctor Who quote, in the case of this episode that quote would have come out as... Ichigo: Thank you Kenpachi, but do you think for once in your life you could manage to arrive before the nick of time! Kenpachi: I'm glad to see you to Ichigo. |
| Lolx.. How many times did Orihime said "Kurosaki-kun"? Anyway, it's nice seeing Zaraki appear.. Though he won't be battling with Noitora so soon.. xP |
| Predictable! Really, I saw that coming from 4 episodes back...maybe even further back. The whole "save the wounded hero at the last minute" gets old, annoying, and dissatisfying. Although, I am happy that my bro, Zaraki, showed up to save the day. The only thing that really drove me crazy was Orihimes continuous cry for Ichigo..."kurosaki-kun....kurosaki-kun...kurosaki-kun...kurosaki-kun...kurosaki-kun...kurosaki-kun". I actually thought she discovered a new power within herself. The power to trap everyone around her in a serious "Mind Fuck!!". No one wants to hear that crap repeated over and over again, especialy in a cute yet irrating voice. Maybe thats why they always cover her mouth first, then restrain her arms. Ah, it was still a good episode....just tired of the "unexpected" turning out to be "expected". |
Demented_Lie said: Yeah the "kurosaki-kun" part drove me crazy too :D and the resque was also predictable (they didn't say they were going to show up right? couz i don't recall that) Rukia will probably be saved by Byakuya , Renji and the others..hmmm... Hitsugaya maybe? and Sado by Shunsui or Yoruichi...maybe Kisuke?Predictable! Really, I saw that coming from 4 episodes back...maybe even further back.

 |
| It was ok. I'm looking forward to seeing Zaraki in action next episode. |
| Finally Zaraki and Rukia..I was getting bored with just Ichigo and Renji&Ishida T__T Inoue,again,made me mad with her 'kurosaki-kun's, she should just shut up T__T anyway, nice episode ^.^ |
sMug said: On the Grantz side just think of what Grantz is...a mad scientist...hmmm, I wonder who else we know like that?Yeah the "kurosaki-kun" part drove me crazy too :D and the resque was also predictable (they didn't say they were going to show up right? couz i don't recall that) Rukia will probably be saved by Byakuya , Renji and the others..hmmm...

|
| didnt expect zaraki to showed up and orihime is fucking useless. |
| Yes, Zaraki is here!!! And Rukia was also in this episode, at least for a while. I really miss her :( |

Guet said: The pacing has been better the last couple episodes, there was only about five minutes of padding at the front, and the animation was better. My major complaint is with the violence, or lack there of. I was expecting tons of blood during the final scene, and not only was there none, but they cut away when Ichigo's arm was broken. Is this because of the new timeslot? I will be very dissapointed if the next few fights are treated the same way. I've been looking forward to having them animated for a while now, and for me a bloodless Kenpachi battle just doesn't seem right. That is true. There used to be GALLONS of blood before [e.g. Ichigo & Renji fight in the Soul Society arc] Maybe they toned down the violence down cuz its being watched by a lot of lil kids now? Still, this episode had me gaping in horror at Ichigo's torturous beating. More blood and more noticeable bruises like in the first Ichi & Grimmjow fight however, would have greatly increased the emotional impact. Regardless, this episode is one of the most satisfying ones to come around in a long, long time. Lots of 'woah' moments [for me at least] and my only major complaint is "Kurosaki-kun" x 15 *watery eyes*. At first I thought she was trying to contact him mentally or something [lol] but I realized she was just being her usual characteristically annoying self. |

| Zaraki coming thats the best thing what can happen in this ep ;] Orihime just say "Kurusaki-kun" why she just didnt shut up?! |
| I pretty much expected Kenpachi to show up in the end to save Ichigo cause sadly I was accidently spoiled by a friend of mine...... But I still was surprised how he came just in the nick of time for that epic save. The scene that really took me by surprise was when Nel was about to deliver the final blow to Nnoitra when she suddenly changed back to her child form. |

dabazzinator said: BlueYoshi said: So how many times did Orihime say Kurosaki-kun this time around? Hearing her say it 15+ times really gets on my nerves. But that's really the only thing I didn't like about the episode. seriously. just another reason to hate her to me shes already very annoying without that.. no offence to orihime's fans. ZARAKI!!!!!! :D |
 |
| Zaraki's arrival was pretty cool, but there were many annoying things in this episode. Many of you have already said them. |
| Well, i must admit episode 195 had a lot of surprises. I mean since i do not read manga i found it unbelievable that nel transformed back also i though her special form like destroyed all of her beauty. When that happened my face was pricless with my mouth wide open drueling all over the place. Then i felt excited when Nel's Fraccion step up and appeared like they were going to defeat that one dude lol. That failed miserable and I was like dam there is no hope now. I found it sick how Orihime had to watch Ichigo get literally beat. #5 is a major asshole and deserves to be killed so I hope now with Zaraki in the picture things change in Los Noches and the shinigami get more backup and begin some serious ownage. Also, hope they kill Aizen because he is fucking evil etc. Hope to see more Nel grown up action lol she is hot lmao |

| finally kenpachi shows up man, i been waiting for him! thought this ep was pretty good |
