THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
The OP now has footage of the upcoming Bleach Movie: Diamond Dust Rebellion. Looks pretty good, blue fire is better than red fire. xD

I decided to watch the first 10 minutes in RAW form for once, and I think it made Number 103's entrance all the more funnier. Still, it was only a decent episode. I hate 103's voice, which is kinda ironic. I hope Ichigo can get pass this slump and fight back in the next episode.

Was the raw ED another movie preview or just the normal ED? Apparently it's suppose to be a preview but the DB release has the normal one and the Arrancar Encyclopedia also looks to be slightly out of sync. =(

Edit: Looks like it was a dud release.

Got a little bored when they started to fight...
Don't get the logic behind not using bankai to save energy but then getting horribly beaten up. Doesn't seem efficient.

Nel ftw once again.

The movie looks ok, but I'd rather see a different character taking the lead next time.

Bleach Movie 3:
Shunsui hitting on every girl in the bleach universe, and Kenpachi attacking everything that moves.

The begin of this episode was just hilarious but then it just went to the fight, which was sub-standard. Even without bankai, Ichigo shouldn't be this weak. It just got annoying seeing him getting beat up so easily but the next episode seems promising. ^_^

There's never any logic behind it. Cheap tactic to extend the fight. Of course, it's not always that way. For example, during Ichigo's first fight using Bankai he held it back as much as he could because he wasn't ready for the backlash (do recall that he "lost" to Biakuya because his body ended up destroyed by it's pressure). The same goes for the Vizard form, which Ichigo should not have used from the onset when fighting Grimmjow (had he fought in Bankai and used the Hollow power only to finish him off he could have theoretically finished him off).

All in all, ok episode but Ichigo was fighting much better just a few episodes ago. Just because he understimated him doesn't mean he would have fought so sub-par. Looked like they just wanted to hype the Former Espada a little too much.

Quit whining about how weak he looks. Of course Arrancar are going to be strong, especially former Espada. These are the most powerful enemies they've come up against yet. It's not going to be easy from the get go.

Espada were made from Vasto Lords, so theoretically they're just as powerful, if not more so, than captain class shinigami.

Edit- I don't remember where I read that about the Vasto Lords, but I know I read it. It was a while ago.

Who says all Espada are made from Vasto Lords. From what I recall that's Aizen's ultimate goal to have a troop worthy of raping the captains in soul society, but he hasn't come that far yet.

On another note, I don't mind Ichigo having trouble against opponents - actually, an even fight is much more interesting, who's gonna argue about that. But if he fights like a complete pansy because he can't estimate the opponent's power it's just too awkward - and we all know that he's going to crush that guy anyway, so why not just walk over him for some bonus coolness while opening the stage for the real fights.

funny episode, 103's voice was pretty much exactly how i thought it would be. Of course ichigo's gonna get his butt kicked at first, it always goes like that. very rarely does he just pwn from the outset. Also I find it hard to complain cause I <3 any anime characters with wind-based powers. ....even if they're fruity like 103.... even if they're filler bastards like kariya... >_<

Espada are the strongest around, no matter their rank (that means potential strength too). The current Espada are composed of Arrancar made of Menos of all ranks. He's still far away from uniting the Perfect Espada (the Vasto-Lorde one).

I want to know why Nel had the stupid cartoonish look while Ichigo kept the realistic look. It took some of the fun out of it. Which reminds me, I always found kinda funny how he's the only character who has apparently grown through the series. He was much skinnier and shorter at the start of the series while now he looks so large and mature-looking(ever since the end bits of the Soul Society arc). I kinda wish he would still look the old-way, since his dumb/silly actions betray his look. Or maybe they should stop portraying him as mature during silly situations.

Ichigo pissed me off this episode, I must admit. You're half-dead and haven't landed a single blow. Use your Bankai, moron.

And don't tell me... NEL is going to save the day?

Dragged out...
The bits between Nel and Ichigo were the best part of this episode. The fight seems really long for such an unimportant event; also Ichigo getting kicked around this easy looks weird seeing as he seems to have gone back a season in strength.

The preview of the movie is a nice idea for the OP but as with the last one i think it shows a little too much of the movie...

103's entrance was so random lol. He doesn't seem half bad.

Nel! I wonder what she is going to do.

Also, I like the idea of Ichigo not using Bankai. Why should he depend on it every single fight when there are so many Shinigami who have perfected their Shunpo, Shikai , reiatsu control and combat intellect. Look at Urahara, Byakuya and Ashido for example. Bankai/Hollow should be a LAST resort if Ichigo ever hopes on going anywhere.

It was OK for me. I mean i liked the parts with Ichigo and Nel but I have to agree with Vurtox the fight wasn't all that great; and not using your bankai to save energy then getting beaten up in the process doesn't make sense. I wonder what Nel is gonna do.

An okay episode, I guess... looks like this arc will go kind of like the Bount arc where they do a lot of flipping back and forth between fights and it lasts a dozen episodes or so.

Also... I wish Ichigo's fighting style was more consistent. I'm not saying I want him to win every fight, but it's almost like he only has two defaults: get completely folded from the start or get rid of his opponent in one blow. Seems like in his earlier fights there was more of a middle ground, even with those opponents that were much stronger and more experienced than him.

Looks like we get to meet the other Fallen Espada in the next episode....

Rewatching. 103 Privaron Espada is still awesome. A bit too silly at the start but great voice, design & strength. Ichigo underestimated him and he will pay the price. Yes, there are still 10 Espada + 3 commanders but still. Nel tu & Ichigo’s reactions to 103 were hilarious.

Master Tortellini proves too powerful in battle and tops Ichigo, who is confused and thought he was 103 vs former no. 3, I think.

Bleach ends, Ichigo is defeated, and we sit down to a nice tortellini dinner.

The pasta...is boiled.

Hype fight. This arc would've been popular if not for the bount arc.
