| It really is sad when the characters are in on the joke. Looks like I'll be putting this show back on hiatus for awhile. Like everyone said, the animation was surprisingly good for when Ulquiorra & Ichigo were sparring. I have a feeling they're going to pull out the good ink for that fight. I'm also looking forward to seeing Rukia get some some battle action & the top 3 Espada showing their releases. This is taking so long I'm probably going to "O" when Yamamto & Aizen go at it. I know I'm guessing, but who else is he going to match up with. I'm pretty sure Gin & Tousen don't want to take him head on. |
 |
| I wonder if they'll finally finish the series after all this kings key arc is over, I don't read the manga anymore so I've no idea what's going to happen but I'd love to see bleach RIP after this arc |
| It's up? I guess I better to tell my brother about this. I'll let him tell me how it is in a moment. Since I really haven't started Bleach yet. x-x; |
| sugoi~~~ sugoi ~~~ sugoi...captain commander yamamoto.. nxt ep will be a filler....hahayz..what the F |
| lol!!!! so much for the cencership!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| i kept wondering how they would reveal halibel's number; anyways story going on hiatus and the characters are in on it, lol |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Ahh they tease us once more, it seems that some of the best animated and put together Bleach episodes then lead into filler. The series has taken a turn for the better since the Pendulum arc, and I hope to see some of this animation continue when they return from fillers. (crosses fingers that fillers won't be that painful) |

| Wondering about a couple of the songs played in this episode: First, was mentioned here: TheUnknownX said: What was the song when the old man was fighting that weird creature? And second here: tigerz said: the end of the episode had the potential to be even better than the scene where ichigo pops out of nowhere and saves rukia. seriously, everything about that 3 minute fight scene was epic. the closeups of the eyes, the superman/matrix like flying, the slow motion camera perspective shifting, the sword fighting was animated the best its ever been (just swords clashing together with sparks flying and every blow meaning something), ulquiorrra's arrogant and unyielding belief that the enemy will be crushed undoubtedly, ichigo's don't underestimate me, the opera-like fanfare in the background, [...] Moreso I'm asking for the second song played right in the final scene. |
| As soon as Ulquiorra comes on they go to filler! I HATE YOU BLEACH MAKERS!! :P I was looking forward to my hot Ulquiorra in action XD |

| Glad to see that monster die (and those bitches!), it was actually starting to get creepy. e.e Yamamoto is even more kickass in the anime imo. |
| That was awesome I loved it but why when its getting so good is it interupted by fillers. |
 |
| Yeah Yamanato was a bad ass. this episode was okay. Nice we finally see their numbers, unfortunately they sensor halibel again. Its just when they censored it they really didnt put any effort in it to make it look nice. we can't see the bottom of tits, okay but Milla Rose was more revealing to me, It seemed like they made Halibel's boobs smaller too, or maybe its just the jacket. lol Yamanato's sweeping attack where he sliced allon in half was bad ass, i had to watch it again to make sure i didnt actually miss it from blinking. |

| Ah crap, fillers next. o.o |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Finally some Ichigo action, but now fillers for 40 episodes... At least I got to see Nel, that made this episode worth watching |
| Yamanato was a badass. |
| Allon repeatedly hitting himself, lol. Yamamoto wasn't even phased. Ooh.. Starrk is the Primera. Sad that Barragan is that high though, he annoys me. It was nice to see Ichigo and the others. Poor Kenpachi not getting any fighting action. Le sigh @ fillers. |
| I really enjoyed that episode. The captain commander is really strong. o_o I wasn't too suprised by the Espada numbers but would have liked to seen their fights before we head back into fillers. |
 |
| YAMAMOTO GENRYUUSAI. He totally wiped the floor with Godzilla and those 3 hoes. Also, Starrk!? The number 1 Espada!? Hell yes. He is definitely my second favourite Espada right after Grimmjow. Ichigo vs Ulquiorra warm up was well animated. Too bad about the break though. Although, I heard this filler arc is pretty good. |
| The old man was awesome. He didn't even break a sweat. |
| Wow, it was nice to see Yamamoto in action. He is OP. Ulquiorra and Ichigo just started and it was already so damn epic. 5/5 |
 |
| As expected, Stark's Number 1 Espada. The Ichigo vs. Ulqiora scene was worth watching. |
  |
| Yamamoto giving those three a "light toasting" as a sign of respect omfg. |
 |
| Yush back to Ichigo! Pretty sweet development so lets see what's next! |
 |
| Man that Yamamoto is strong,and Ichigo is back ^_^ |
  |
| Yamamoto is amazing,he is really strong! Good episode :) |
| Yamamoto killed that thing and it was awesome! Hitsugaya was awesome too! I really liked the fight they showed some of between Ichigo and Ulquiorra. So they are the top 3 Esparda, I really didn't see that coming. She undid her zip and you could see her mask! D: |
 |
| Hot daymmmmmn boi, head captain Yamato is no pushover, that was a beastly savage battle, like a man, what?! That's simply leagues above anything we've seen a lieutenant do. I mean, it's only logical. As they say, kids step aside, let the elderly take care of it. Number one suits that classy calm gentleman of an Arrancar very well, although, I hopped Ulquiorra would have been a bit higher on the ladder. But whatever. This episode was beautifully animated, and still, couldn't ampt up the image quality, what a shame. Looks like the fun ends here for most people, watch out for the horde of filler folks, if you don't mind watching them (Like myself, I especially heard this one was great), the next 3 episodes are filler, I'm going to have to force into those unless they were enjoyable, I hope so. And then comes the “Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc” (Episodes 230-265), and only then the story will continue where it felt out from this episode. |
| Oof, last episode before a long filler arc, and even in the middle of a huge fight. |
 |
| Of course, just as things were about to get crazy we get a filler arc xD |

| Great to have Ichigo vs Ulquiorra back, I want more fights like this |
 |
| that was fking awesome. Top3 bleach episodes (at least production wise) stellar directing and animation. This doesn't come as a surprise since this is an animation medium but god damn how much a scene or an episode is elevated by good direction and animation. I actually enjoyed the last 2-3 episodes. the ayon part was sick af. Finally an enemy that actually felt somewhat dangerous. That is until the head captain came lol. What a fking badass. The next fews episodes should all be decent. I pray to god that we're done with useless side character fights. Staw hat san vs number 1 espada is looking really spicey. |
| Whoa!!!!! the Head Captain is awesome!!!!! And now we know the rankings of all the Espadas.....So far among all the Espadas, I've taken a liking to Stark, Ulquiorra and Grimmjow.....they're all pretty cool ngl.....But well here we go for another round of fillers :( |
| Yama jiji one shot that thing... Of course it's gonna be easy for him. Oh the one who fight with Kyoraku is no 1? Only got little bit of Ichigo vs Ulquiorra and now enjoy the amount of Filler first lmao No way they shift to Filler again in the middle of the Arc. They are so aware and making fun of themselves lmao Sucks it have to be like this, definitely killing the momentum. Zanpakutō Unknown Tales arc, hopefully this filler are at least entertaining. Can't imagine the pain watching this weekly back in the day. |

| Head captain is too strong, don’t mess with old men in anime. And yay the only filler arc that’s pretty good is up next. |
  |
| They just dead ass shifted through battles again. Also why did Rukia's design change so much? |
| شقایق، اینجا من، خیلی غریبم |
| Great episode. Now time for a "short" break... mhm... |
