So, all the Sternritter deaths are still part of the plan. Interesting.
Finally, the Quincy waifus are in action!
So, Bambietta really is dead at this point. That sucks. She was the hottest of them all.
Meninas didn't disappoint with her brute strength and cuteness!
Now that I've seen Candice in action, I think she's up there as one of the sexiest. I like her outfit! It makes me want to lick her!
Zaraki still hasn't gone Bankai, and he almost died!
Ichigo's entrance + OST was epic!
Ichigo doesn't need to shout his Getsugatensho anymore? So badass!
Finally, Chad and Orihime are back in action, too. I love Inoue's outfit. She looks extra sexy!
I wonder what is the actual reason Ishida betrayed them. It's still a mystery.
Kenpachi was already so exhausted from fighting Gremmy as well as being confused by not finding Yachiru that he was knocked down by the Bambis and when they were going to give him the final blow the great Ichigo Kurosaki arrived on the battlefield, god what a good chapter.
perfect timing, inoue & chad, however, your reunion's kinda bittersweet. i think ishida is saddened by the path he chose to side with, but i have a feeling his loyalty is still with ichigo. i ain't losing hope on ishida yet.
Overall, a good fluid episode with decent fight scenes and choreography
Ichigo is back, soloing against his enemies...AGAIN!! I didn't care much for the girls in the manga but the anime has softened my criticism of them. The colors and how it was utilized to enhance the battle was a brilliant choice. Characters popping left & right felt a bit jarring but what can you do, it's your average shounen at the end of the day
Next episode should be great & controversial? We'll see next week~~
I mean Ichigo's entrance was pretty cool but... that fighting animation was kinda bad. If most of the season will be fighting anyway, I hoped that it would at least look decent.
really good episode, Ichigo's new attack was beast, Ishida-Ichigo confrontation was cool, Renji and squad pulling up to clear the path for Ichigo was cool, and Inoue/Chad making the best entrance
the ichigo-ishida confrontation would have been better and hit emotionally if the dialogue from Ichigo wasn't almost exactly the same as when he saw Chad with Xcution. But the voice actor sells it well.
Like really? The first person/people Ichigo fights after his revival are these clowns?! Terrible.
Even in One Piece, a series made for babies, no character would ever say something this stupid to their enemy.
Is this all a big joke? Are all those people that died this week a joke to Ichigo? Does he even care about anything? The worst Main Character out of all the big shounen anime. Not even Naruto would say this shit. God, this is some some trash ass writing. I'm just watching it for the beautiful animation at this point, like some of you I'm sure.
I totally get that he starts with that in the beginning but the moment they block his path it should be clear to him that he has to be a tiny little bit more drastic with his actions.
Nice homage to the first time he has an entry like that though with the weird clothing and boxing his enemies around the area without using his sword.
