Good episode. Hisagi's beating Tosen was just as cool as in the manga. Ending was great, Ichigo's finally here.

Can anyone elaborate on how Aizen killed Tousen? I see he explodered but does it say how or anything in the manga?? Did Aizen do an invisible curbstomp?

you have to admit that shinji is a really strong character but why was he beaten so easily ? I was hoping on a little bit more shinji action :(
I mean we have seen ichigo fight so much and we all know his powers and shinji didn't really fight yet

Hmm tousen can be seen sploding but Hiyori can't be cut in half
and Ishida can't be amputated.

Meh that fight kinda sucked.
First of all I hate it that well-tempered guys like Tousen ALWAYS lose their cool in the final fight just to make them seem more crazy. Second of all Komamura didn't improve at all and could still handle released Tousen. Altogether this felt kinda anticlimatic.
I probably regret this post by now.

finally! ichigo's arrived! can't wait for the next ep... O.O

i really laughed hard at the shinigami cup at the end.. it's like the animators' criticism of the plotline.? XD

..and i have to admit that i was touched by komamura's lines for tousen (and my hatred for tousen had been alleviated a bit, but now he's gone so....)

i love it when i hate the antagonist more and more every ep.. die aizen, die!

This episode was pure epic. Very emotional, strong story development, unpredictable, action packed, and best of all! There weren't any worthless fillers!

Loved this episode, one of the better ones I've seen imo.

I dont understand.
Why did Tousen turn into that giant bug?
He was a Vizard.Not an Arrancar.
He should only have a Bankai + Mask form. Not an arrancar sword release.
Am I missing something here?

Oh and Tousen was destined to lose.I knew it from the start.When guys lose their cool,it means that the end is near.

And of course Shinji's Shikai simply couldn't beat Aizens Shikai.But I appreciated how they made in clear in just 1 episode,rather than the Bleach tradition of dragging things and then telling us after 10 episodes as if we didn't already know.

Tousen was no longer a human after hollowfying, even after returning to a human0like state, thus they can do anything to him, like with Konamura and any of the arrancar. Not true with Hiyori and Ishida, humans, in their current time-slot.

The first 10 min or so were all filler. The entire fight in the manga consisted of Tosen breaking his sword, doing his shockwave attack, then getting stabbed by Hisagi. Komamura got completley owned by Tosen.

And I don't think people are giving Shinji enough credit. Aizen has been cutting up captain level shinigami's in bankai left and right while hardly lifting a finger, and in just shikai Shinji actually managed to wound him. Considering how trolltastic Aizen normally is, thats a huge accomplishment.

shinji sucked I hoped more of him and I hate Aizen.I dont hate him cuz he is the bad guy.I never hated someone cuz he is playing the bad one.I hate him cuz the guy is overwhelmingly strong without any exception.He can beat anyone cuz he can hpynosis everyone easily.Guy borned to be rule them all.And if Ichigo beat someone like this.I'll buy a ticket to japan.An I'll find Tite Kubo.I'll beat him to a pulp to make him get his sense :D the rational thing is Aizen making the key and the zero squad stopping him with someone unaffected by him.If he gets beated by someone who can rule over:this story is dead as my shit.

lol Komamura caught the bug with a massive bug catching bat blow ! XD Tousen was crushed but still alive acting dead as bugs really won't just die. So Tousen sure is weaker than Grimmjow. Now it's 100% proven. Next ep seems to be awesome. AND ! Komamura said 'it would've put a hole in my heart' lol Tousen X Komamura yaoi. XD

Quite an susprising outcome of the fight but it didnt feel like a major inconsistency to me in any way, Tousen pretty much went nuts when he got eye sight, he did lose sight of everyone he stood for before.

Still the way he suddenly entered a fight and a handful of episodes later went SPLAT felt quite anti climatic, quite like most of the other fights in this saga btw. It seems the espada are WAY less strong than everyone makes em out to be and i guess the same goes for Aizen's entourage.

I wouldve just liked if they didnt stress pre moth/cricket/hideous creature release how much Tousen could wipe the floor with Komamura's bankai.

overall a lovely animated episode tho and the ending of Tousen was quite touchy

Nice spoken by Komamura and Tosen's insect like eyes were ugly. Waht a shot of Hisagi. Nice end of the life of Kaname Tosen. I liked it. It becomes hard to fight with two hypnotic types of zanpaku-to. Who will win this battle?

Oh...my fuck.

I don't like Tousen...but that moment with him, Hisagi and Komamura was so emotionally sad. And Aizen just....exploded Tousen? WTFSON. D< I always hated his sorry ass but this takes the cake. I hope Komamura seriously ragequits on his ass.

- "You cannot see as well as you did before you changed into that form." Well said Komamura.
- Aizen's face was actually shocked, ha!
- Fuck yeah Hisagi!
- I like Shinji's zanpakuto even if Aizen saw through it rather quickly. That being said, I'm highly disappointed in the Vizard's as a whole. I still love them.. but this is bullshit. They were practically useless in the whole battle. (Excluding Hachigen) -__-
- Nice entrance, Ichigo.
- Lol, the omake.

DAMN YOU AIZEN! ICHIGO WILL KICK YOUR SORRY ASS!
By the way...how will ichigo no see his shikai? He will see it when he fight him. I don't get it.

Shinji's power was interesting...but aizen was no fun. He's so freaking boring. Just die.

Lol in Anime Tousen would have the most advantage by being blind. He would not be affected by Shinji's/Aizens abilities, he would not be affected by anything else really since he can pretty much see even in the air which is crazy.

Tousen while blind knew his environment fully, since he was blind he was not easily distracted by colors, objects, etc, and could just focus on everything around him.

Sucks he died tho, only black shinigami ;-;. And I agree, Komamura got owned Vs Vizard Tousen, I cant believe he stood a chance against his other form. Viz. Tousen could block one of Komamuras hits with his sword....plus he was obviously faster already, it makes no sense. Im glad he said his goodbyes

While I still think Tousen is a crazy douche bag, I'm glad he was able to realize how crazy he was and except the forgiveness of his true friends. Kind of sad that Aizen killed him.

Again the show is picking up and I hope it stays that way for a bit longer.

No matter how much I hated Tousen since his fight with Kenpachi up until now, I couldn`t help but feel sorry. Not only for him, but the impact it had on Komamura and especially Hisagi. All my hate went with him to the grave, I will remember Tousen as the guy who guided Hisagi and was Komamura`s best friend. A tragic hero of justice.

Although, every time Aizen pulls an Aizen, I can`t help but love him more lol.

So Ichigo is back now too, let`s see what goes down.
