Hmmm, another kinda twist. Similar to what Kariya said though, although that was all well and good and nice for us to know, was that really the time to say it? XD

That gun looked pretty cool too...

Why wouldnt someone (Kariya) remember the person who saved them he could at least be grateful to RanTao unless he wants to die

Nice back story of Ran Tao and the bounts and how she first met Kariya when he was a little boy, awww.

I hope she doesn't kill Kariya! D:

If she likes them so much and wants to save them so badly then she wouldn't kill him no matter what.

Kariya is the sexiest character! You can't kill him off! I'll cry if they do.

1000th post! YAY <3

I couldn't care less about Kariya's backstory. It's too late for characterization of that insane POS.

It was nice to see Ran Tao again. But, she really was naive and stupid in the past. At least she tries to correct her mistake. Better late than never.

asdfgh! i love how cool-headed Hitsugaya is in.... well, almost every situation _xD

even Byakuya gave up on having Ichigo call him captain, but Hitsugaya still insists .w.
...Hitsugaya's my second favorite character after Ukitake ^_^-!
(it's still the two white-haired ones tho)

-favorite other shinigami= 69- Hisagi, every day ;D!
then Yumichika, he's rather OP even tho it doesn't show all that often -w-

;seriously Orihimie, you're in love with red-bean paste?
....and why does Hisagi have 69 tattooed on his cheek?!
it raises too many suspicious kinds of thoughts ;_;'!

The backstory was actually interesting, it pretty sad for the relation between bounts and Soul Society.
Kariya is stupid he needs to remember about Ran Tao, the next episode probably going to be interesting, Kariya is going to be rekt I guess

Oh wow, they hit me with the feels in this episode... So Kariya was the little boy that Rantao saved, and she gave him the power to activate the Jokai crest.

The story was touching, but I figured it wouldn't be enough to make Kariya turn back from his path. He seems to be too far gone at this point.

Only three episodes left in this arc... I wonder how they're going to wrap this up. Also, I'm still keeping my eyes open for Koga. I don't think he's dead yet.

I hope Ishida doesn't think he can fight Kariya alone... seems like he might head that way based on the connection he feels with Rantao because Yoshino had her face... I really don't want to see him get whipped around again.
