| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- They completely ruined the suspense by letting us see Rukia... Good episode nonetheless . |

| Was that really Rukia with Ichigo father? 8 bites game in the end was a bit funny hehe. |
Nothing ventured, nothing gained (Girls und Panzer der Film ) / from Nishizumi Miho |
| quite bummed out actually its quite diffrent to the manga but im not complaining good episode n i reckon Rukia is quite cuter now with shorter hair :) |
| Great episode but I must agree. They shouldn't have shown Rukia now. The manga did that part much better. Anyhow, great episode. :3 |
| Cool, cool... but will it blend? |
| I gotta admit I never expected the anime to show Rukia so early. |
| wow they really show rukia at the end.... way to kill suspense SP although her new look is just fine.... I agree rukia look cuter with short hair the animation this time is decent, better than last week ep LOL @ omake, bleach 8-bit style & ichigo sound like a girl??? darn it, no bleach next week & after that is filler..... oh well at least I can wait for new ED |
 |
| Rukia, Ichigo's father and Urahara are doing something weird. Also, seems thats Ichigo's fullbring still isnt near perfect. Ginjo broke Ichigo's fullbring like it was nothing. |
| Video game o_O Hmm wonder what Ruikia is doing there. A New Years specials would be to continue with the story, like the other long runners will do :P |

"Wait for the signal, and I'll meet you after dark" |
| RUKIAAAAAAAAAA! That is all. |
| Interesting, looks like shinigamis are up to something too. |
 |
| I feel like that totally ruined everything and gave everything away!! They're not supposed to show Rukia with her short hair or anything until much later! Ugh! Still, good episode!! Next week...doesn't look so great XD I wanna get back to the fighting! |
| I totally didn't recognize Rukia in that last segment, I guess I'm the only one unless everyone else knows from reading the manga. |
| Good episode, Rukia looks better then before.xD |
 |
| I don't read the manga. I did recongnize Rukia in the end, but since I absolutely don't know what they may have ruined by showing her ... maybe they did not ruin anything for me. :D |

Urisk said: I don't read the manga. I did recongnize Ruki in the end, but since I absolutely don't know what they may have ruined by showing her ... maybe they did not ruin anything for me. :D Same here. It does raise questions for the animeviewers though. Why Rukia's reiatsu is used in Isshins and Urahara's experiment? So much suspense... Riruka thought Inoue was cute. I'm glad she didn't say it out loud thus respecting the viewers that they "got" it. Chad looks like he might be controlled and maybe Inoue too since at one point she had a blank stare, but maybe that was just a little hiccup with the animation team. And it seems the reason for not healing Ishida before was because he didn't ask. The fight was ok. Really liked how Ginjo showed Ichigo that Tsukishima was just playing around with him, by cutting his sword so easily. And after another cliffhanger we get a filler. Bleach has to celebrate new years too. |
| The anime has been bettr than the manga in the past weeks but they ruined the suspense. They could have done something else. They even showed THAT on rukia, which was completely unnecessary. |
| . |
| mfw spoilers ¬_¬' |
| What the hell?! wow, they ruined everything soo much showing us Rukia so early -.- im pissed and annoyed. Screw this. |
 |
| Rukia already? I really did not expect that to happen. I'm not really happy about how that was changed. Not to mention the next episode is filler with the Soul Society acting like idiots for New Years. |
| The filler at least allows them to show everyone again. The shinigami as a whole had no part in the story since the new arc, except for the small scenes of Urahara. And everyone except the captains had no part since who knows when. Maybe they manage to fit in Ichigos classmates a bit more, too, though we at least saw them in some episodes in the beginning, when Ichigo had his "peaceful" live he always wanted. Maybe not as good as a real episode, but better then a filler using xCution (they often used Soul Society as a backdrop for a filler, when we didn't see anything of whats going on in the real world since months). Also, it's not like it's surprising that they do a filler now... |
| at around 24 min, rite when they were showing isshin and urahara, was that a naruto OST i heard, i've heard it before, but i swear i thought it was from naruto, lol i dont like her new hair. |
     |
| Not too eventful, but still nice. I had to laugh when Yukio showed a bit more emotion in this episode. The back and forth with Orihime and Riruka was great too. Messing up the foreshadowing was stupid though. I only check the manga to see how far we are from it compared to the anime. Of course, the eventual filler season will soon come around, so I'll be waiting to see it. |
| Awesome, we get to see Rukia. I'm really anxious to see what comes next, but it looks like a filler. :/ |
| Interesting to see Rukia return, I was surprised they showed her face too but I'm sure hardcore fans would've recognized her seiyuu the second she spoke so they went ahead and showed her face (and new lieutenant's shoulder-badge). I like the Riruka x Inoue femslash in this one ;) I'm an IchiHime fan but Orihime with any of the other girls is fine with me too. |
| Ah, the "results" of Inoue's flimsy character development. IMO, the showing of Rukia this soon somewhat ruined the "surprise" of the upcoming scene. Whatevs though. 4/5 - Pretty good episode for Bleach. |
| i think im the only one who's glad they showed rukia early. this show was lacking her desperately and i dont read the manga so.... i enjoyed it. super mad we have to wait for that effing cliffhanger tho :( grrr |

It totally spoils the next episode(s)... Hoping the next arc is better than this one |
| I don't read the manga either, and showing Rukia ruined absolutely nothing for me, that I can tell. *shrug* I don't understand why everyone is so upset. Is it actually important, or is it just that, oh no, something was shown out of order? Someone else already mentioned the voice being recognized. So of course they'd go all the way. I thought it was a decent episode, and I like Invaders Must Die. :3 It's better than Dirty Boots, anyway. ^^; |
 |
| Tsukishima has that Aizen look. Lol at the street fighter background. |
| "One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it." Oogway |
| lol such lame foreshadowing at the end with Rukia's faintly evil smile. |
 |
| Doesn't ruin anything 4 me. Happy to see Rukia 2.0 in animated form. She shows up way erlier in the anime than the manga but still...RUKIA!!!! |
| Too much Rukia talk. I'm in love with Riruka. |
| :O Rukia's new look is great! I don't know even if they didn't show her face, i am sure everyone can guess it was Rukia from her body shape and the way her Zanpaktou is sheathed O-o Well i could.. |
| RUKIA HNNNGGGGGGGGGGG |
 |
| The omake was the best part of this episode. |
| I don't understand all the fuss in regards to showing Rukia, that doesn't tell us anything, it's still a mystery. Next episode... Filler x_x |
Blackbird said: Was that really Rukia with Ichigo father? 8 bites game in the end was a bit funny hehe. At least Rukia is back :3 But I still wonder what they are doing with Urahara and Ichigo's father ... Seems that the training will be interesting again ... Good episode I liked it ! |
 |
| RUKIA! :) I was waiting so long for this, she got even prettier with her new hair cut. I'm in love all over again. Riruka, you were the best substitute possible for me but reality will prevail! The PSP training is pretty neat too. Ginjo is an awesome sparring partner. I knew Urahara and Isshin were plotting something but I didn't expect to see Rukia ^^. |
 |
| no comments on the street fighter stage? |
 |
| Yukio's fullbring is awesome! Also, I guess Rukia's reiatsu is needed, because it was she, who gave him powers to start with.. |
