| Ok ep. I almost wish they had made it a real melee, instead of half a dozen duels. But I guess that Bleach fights never work like that. Also, Omaeda is probably the most annoying character ever in Bleach, I hope I can survive another episode of looking at that face and listening to that voice. |
   |
| I can't even see how Omaeda became a vice cap. |
 |
| It was said in an omake that he rose to his rank because of his family's influence since they're rich or something. I don't like him either. I liked the eppy, though. I can't get used to calling Halibel Harribel now since that's apparently the way it's supposed to be. |
Wasabi said: I can't even see how Omaeda became a vice cap. Same -_-. It looks as if the battle is heating up though, so I'm looking forward to the upcoming episodes. I thought that the opponents were matched kinda weird for some. |

| It seems like we're going to have this recap at the beginning of the episodes from here on out, which sucks. Nothing really happened in this episode besides stalling and talking, though I did realize something: All the captains who are fighting right now (besides Toushiro) we haven't seen their bankai. Hopefully we'll see them, then I won't feel like these fights were a waste. |
| The episode was mostly setup. Stark vs Kyouraku and Ukitake seems the most interesting to me, I always like to see the lazy guys get serious. |
| Is Stark an Espada or a Fraccion? I've honestly forgotten at this point since it's been almost a year since I've seen him, and even then it was so spaced out. And...let's face it, I don't even think they're at the top of the Espada. I'm not seeing a reason for any of these guys to lose...or to be highly pressured in the fight. Even Omaeda. |
noteDhero said: Is Stark an Espada or a Fraccion? I've honestly forgotten at this point since it's been almost a year since I've seen him To answer your question: Halibel, Stark and Barragan = Espada. I won't spoil their numbers though, but if you do some math you outta figure it out. Ep was meh though, was hoping for less talking and more fighting, but then again that never happens. The coming eps should be good though, gonna be fun to finally see some captain action. |
Pantyshots are a different matter entirely |
| blehhh I hate when the anime has to slow down for the manga. |
| wtf was this |
| SATSUGAI SATSUGAI SAYOOOOOOOOOOOOOO |
| nice episode. cant wait to see Stark in action |
noteDhero said: It seems like we're going to have this recap at the beginning of the episodes from here on out, which sucks. Yeah what's up with the 20 second recap? Just a waist of air time and our time. We all know his story lol. Maybe will get lucky and Omaeda dies :). Some reason I get the feeling none of the Shinigami are going to die..for those who read the manga...does anyone die, atleast one person in this battle? |
| The episode was oke, Omaeda kicks ass hahaha |

And...let's face it, I don't even think they're at the top of the Espada. I'm not seeing a reason for any of these guys to lose...or to be highly pressured in the fight. Even Omaeda. His definitely an Espada. And i believe he must be the number 1. Don't worry is not a spoiler i don't read the manga. I just thing that his number one because of the events. First when that old guy sad in the chair and said i take command that little kid Stark has with him told him to say something like he was suppose to do that and now he got two captains against him. If we consider that the most powerful Espada will also be someone that we never thought it will be by the way he behaves, so they can surprise us, then Stark is very likely to be the number one. Ok the episode was slow and we all know why. Because they have no choice. What surprised me is that things don't look very good for the Shinigami team right now. I mean Matsumoto against three is not an easy job. Also since we have the three top Espada they probably need two captains attacking them each. If Kenpachi had such a hard time with number 5 then things aren't easy. Hitsugaya will have trouble with that Espada alone. And the same goes with Soi-Fon(even though i haven't seen her Bankai) if she tries to face that old guy Espada alone. By the way why didn't Komamura return to help. I wonder when are the Vizards going to appear. |

| Sigh, so slow. ¬_¬ Not a bad episode though. |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eat, Breathe, Sleep, Dream, Live Anime.  Trance, it's not just a Genre it's a state of mind. |
| It was an ok episode. Another setup for the upcoming battle with ok fight I guess. |
| Ever since these fights started I've skimmed through the episodes. When I was reading the manga about this it was like ugggggggh. -___- The best part of it was the end with Byakuya. |

PandaPuff said: The best part of it was the end with Byakuya. And Halibel's fraccion and Rangiku talking about boobs and Hitsugaya. I didn't mind this episode. Once we got past the recap of the entire series and the recap of what we remember from the last few weeks (GAH) it started setting it up a bit. Was pretty slow though. My favourite moment was Soifon (<3) telling Ohmeada to go die in a corner. Exactly what I was thinking. I really don't like Rangiku's Haineko still. Even now we know how it operates, surely she should've just gone for the necks of the 3 fraccion. Blaaaaah. But that's not how Bleach works is it? *draaaaaaaaaaaaag* some story out. Lush. I did however love the Stark/Kyouraku stuff. Can't wait to see them step it up a notch. |
 |
| A decent episode. I hope we get to see the Bankai's of characters we haven't seen from yet. That's gotta wait though since fillers are most likely upon us :( |
 |
| To much talking about stupid stuffs. We need more fighting! |
 |
| what a boring ep, 1/3 recap, 1/3 talking, 1/3 of crappy fight scenes, even though this was a setup eppy, still terrible, though i think the ensuing fights to come should be good |
 |
Wasabi said: I can't even see how Omaeda became a vice cap. yea i know he's fucking weak, he better have some bankai or some shit, his shikai is a crappy ass mace :| |
  |
| i really wanna see soifon's bankai! |
| Stark is so cool xD In the episode, nothing too exciting >.< |

| I only liked the recap and the extras where Ichigo is talking lol Seeing Byakuya and Ichigo made my day. This part of the arc is going to be long. Omaeda should die in the corner XD |
| Heh everyone hates Omaeda poor guy! |
| Instead of standing around explaining everything why didnt Matsumoto just slash the s**t out the three arrancar before they realised what was happening and just have it done and dusted. Its stuff like this (and the slow paciing) that makes Bleach such a drag to watch these days. It says something about the show when i actually look forward to the fillers. Half the time theyre better than the main canon. At least they dont have to slow it down for the sake of the manga. |

At least they dont have to slow it down for the sake of the manga. there's poor management on the production staff - that's why bleach is the way it is. you can kinda tell. what shouldve happen: place bleach on hold for a season, release a movie or OAV to please the hardcore fan base, and then start the series up when the manga gets way ahead. that way you don't have to create fillers and the animators can focus on good animation for the fight scenes [like in the hisagi episode] only thing I really like about the series right now is the ending theme - its so catchy! :::sigh:::: well bleach ever get as good as the soul society arc again? |

| Bleh.... reading all these comments, I think I'm not gonna watch it yet... maybe next week I'll watch two episode at once... might be better |
| all right onto the main event! all the battle finally start, would have been cool with a battle royal though, oh well this works too |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| great fight ... wonder when will the Vizards come out xD |
     |
| an ok ep, but nothing special, hopefully hitsu gonna kick that blondie espada ass and some epic battles are coming up next (like hisagi's for example), i actually don't get why everyone hates omaeda so much, poor guy x] but i also think there's no real need for him, but whatev, looking forward to what happens next.. |
  |
| seriously why can't they just make decent ep's without a recap of half an episode? make a single episode in 2 weeks or something with is packed with fights. |
| i'm really interested in the next episode. there wasn't enough fighting! i'm guessing that the Vizards will appear when things are going downhill fast to help the Shinigamis. so maybe another episode or two...? isn't it going to switch to another filler soon, too? |
     |
| This episode was OK i guess... i really think Omaeda is annoying as hell... I kinda like Stark... i'm not really into seeing him being beated up , i wonder what is going to happen... |
 |
| The story goes so slow but... heh, what to do? its not really their fault because if they catch up to the manga then i dont think that we would be able to watch bleach every week. Is it only me or anybody else who have noticed that Vice-Captain of the 1st Division disappeared;D? hahahahah whats wrong with this guy? Anyway! Still like bleach even if fillers will come!:) |
ghoscik said: Is it only me or anybody else who have noticed that Vice-Captain of the 1st Division disappeared;D? hahahahah whats wrong with this guy? haha :) we even know nothing about him x(( maybe he's a traitor ? XDDD |
| Its funny... i wonder when they will officially introduce him xD some background history about him would be nice! I know that he's not a first plan character but i wanna know how did he get the position of Vice-Captain! Maybe he's some uber guy and new saga will start with him after they defeat Aizen? LOL! Would like to see that hahaha |
| this episode was good, but only made me wait for the next when the fights really happen!! |
