| Everyone hates Orihime XD. I'm sure once this whole Arrancar/Aizen business is over she'll be back to her cheery adorable self ^_^ |
 |
| Now, I knew Orihime was useless from the beginning, but damn if she wasn't a total waste of space in this episode. That she refused to go on the offense even to save her life utterly dumbfounded me. I wanted to shrug off the stupid decision to have her save Muramasa as the writers being dumb, but no, Tite Kubo is dumb, and can't write female characters for shit. What am I saying...he can't write characters for shit. I honestly considered dropping this show at the end of this episode. Curiosity and a sense of obligation due to having watched 268 episodes are the only things that keep me watching the show, but if it can't have enough sense in the main story for me to think of a way that Ichigo and Ishida beat Ulquiorra and Yammy without resorting to abhorrent deus ex, then I just don't know how much longer I can stand it. As of right now, I'm only in this for the Kiesuke and the captains (excluding Kenpachi and to some extent, Soi Fon). I think I'm done watching the filler episodes, though. |
| Not a bad ep. For a sec I totally thought Ichigoo was actually going to get through to help Inoue. Nope says Uliquora with his awesome one finger cero. Also too bad Ichigo couldn't have figured out to wrap his sword in energy a lot sooner. Arancar encyclopedia was pretty good as well. would have been a lot funnier if they had shown a short screen of Ishida using Loli as a stepping stone like some people say he did in the manga. |
We will never forget those that have fallen for our freedom! |
| Orihime made some horrible faces in this episode. |

| too much Orohime in this episode -_- |
bautrey37 said: Loli as in child porn? lol wierd name... She has small breast at least so she can give justice to her name. And the word loli alone doesn't mean child-porn by the way. It means young girl. At least in Japan it does. Because in the western world we associated with only 2D young girls and not real ones. Kind of like anime means japanese animation outside of Japan but in japan it means animation in general. bautrey37 said: If Bleach never had Orihime or fillers, it would be amazing!!!!!! basically if it followed the manga perfectly. And maybe Orihime would be a little better too. The anime makes her say Kurosaki-kun too much times just so it can kill time. Well this episode was definitely an improvement than the last stupid "three stooges" kind of fight with Reji and Chad but in the end they just killed time again. Seriously i understand how desperate they are since Kubo's way of making manga is slow as hell but if the episodes can't show a good rhythm because they are afraid of reaching the manga then the anime will always suck and if that's the case, they may as well stop it for a few years until there is more story. At least they where killing time by putting a few more scenes in the main battle this time and that move of Ulquiorra when Ichigo tried to trick him and pass threw him was awesome. Can't remember if it was in the manga. Yami reminds me of those big fat bullies you see in schools at certain movies. He certainly has the title of the most stupid Espada. Hope next few episodes will just let us enjoy the battle with out fillerish time killing attempts. |

 |
| God damn Kurosaki-kuns! I hate Orihime! |
| wasnt that great its very much just screaming random swings of the sword and more screaming |
 |
| Finally some good fight with Ichigo and Ulquiorra. A little disappointed with too many screentime with Orihime. |
| This is a signature. |
| ishida uryuu's show up was way cooler than in the manga |
 |
| this episode was pretty awesome specially in the end when Ishida comes in and saves Inoue from Yammy :D can't wait for the next episode wish the ichigo vs ulquoirra fight was better in this episode though xD |
 |
noteDhero said: but no, Tite Kubo is dumb, and can't write female characters for shit. Ohohoho, this is so true. (And it gets worse BTW. Not yet, but I'll let you know :thumbs:) Suddenly...rape!      I'm sorry the episode was about what again? I was too distracted by Orihime Yuri action.... |
 |
| Great ep :) But Inoue was..UGH! >.< |
| His rapist face made this pic worth posting. |
 |
| off:Did you know that each time Orihime says "Kurosaki-kun" a hollow/arrancar dies? :O:O on: An OK episode and from now on it should start turning better and better :D |

| I have one word: Iiiiiiishiiiiiiidaaaaaaa!!! *cough* Nymphetamine2791 said: Ulquiorra=Fucking bad ass; I loved how he pulled off that "Point a finger at your plain obvious move and shoot you with a cero" move at Ichigo when he tried to distract him with his Lunar Fang move. Hell yes :D But jeez, Orihime, grow a damn backbone! You have legs, don't you? You have arms? Use them! Run, slap, fight, do anything but just sit there and gasp like a drowning fish! But Ishida made up for the Orihime overdose in this episode. Completely. |
| Still mediocre to what I was expecting, to be honest I have no care for Inoue, Ishida and Yammy, the whole point is Ulquiora VS Ichigo, and we still have not got what we expect. They need to up their game, be that as it my though, it was a nice mix of action and emotion, which alowed it to be a good episode. |
| more action pleaaaze |
| i bet a lot of ichigo haters will love the line "i see you're pretty happy you used what little brains you have" from ulquiorra and it made me mad that they got rid off the surprise uryu enterance >< |
| hahaha, ishida is a witch, lol. well yammy shows up to cause some major conflict, dude must be on steroids or something |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| 4/5 because of Inoue.. "Kurosaki-kun, KUROSAKI-KUN!!" Seriously.. Why can't she just die? :( |
Optime olere occisum hostem! |
| Seriously what a useless episode. Get your act together and show us some real fights >.<. |
 |
| Huh. I've been wondering where the hell Yammy went off to. |
| Now that was annoying :|. 'No, Yammy, you can't fight the Shinigami punk, he's a little BUSY. Just go pick on a captain that's in Hueco Mundo [preferably Kenpachi >:) ] and fight him!' I really liked the fight scenes actually... I missed Ishida :X... He really is a witch :P *ignoring Orihime scenes, it's better on my nerves :D* |

| Actually, now that you mention it, where the hell are the captains? I assume Kenpachi, Byakuya, Mayuri, etc. are all doing something... was this mentioned, or have they just completely forgotten about them? |
| The finger Cero to stop Ichigo from getting by was so awesome. Thankfully Inoue is okay for now. Glade to see Loli isn't dead, shes actually pretty cool to me.......and so is her outfit. Ishida to the rescue! Finally time for him to shine. |
 |
| Ulquirra keeps suprising me, he is definitely my favorite character on bleach. |
| I have to say I really liked this part in the manga but in teh anime idk..maybe it was orihime's screaming...despite the fact that im an ichihime fan.. oh boo i can't wait for the fight tho! it's gonna have to be epicc! 4/5 |
 |
| Yammy's and idiot, and Orihime too, she should use Tsubaki, but it was just too amazing to complain, and next episode looks awesome too |

pacuuuuu3 said: Yammy's and idiot, and Orihime too, she should use Tsubaki, but it was just too amazing to complain, and next episode looks awesome too Tsubaki ain't doing shit against someone like Yammy. It can only kill some normal, stupid, animal like hollows. |
| Yammy...grew his arm back...didn't he? That's actually pretty badass. |
| Dear Math, I'm not a therapist. Solve your own problems. Oh, and Algebra? Stop asking us to find your ex, she's NEVER coming back. |
| the new move by ulquiorra shooting down ichigo as he tried to dart pass him was awesome. other than that, whoever is animating this manga is doing a terrible job. Ishida's entrance was an epic 2 page spread but 1 second in the anime. If they really wanted to kill time they should emphasize the cool scenes properly instead of just adding stupid ones and dragging on boring ones with orihime. |

Name a time in the whole series of bleach when she hasn't been lame.. xD Agreed! I'm looking forward to see her going berserk, she has more than shield and healing creatures. I wanna see her kickin' asses! |

I wanna see her kickin' asses! Never gonna happen. One thing i realized is that shounen mangakas very rarely let a girl shine and even if they do she will still be completly overshadowed by bigger powers, cooler males and the main guy who must be some male overoptimistic boy with strong fighting spirit. And the way Inoue is made(healer, sweet innocent naive girl) she's not even gonna get a small badass moment. |

| This episode was awesome, what would you douche bags do if you were in Orihime's position? |
 |
| Fight. She has an offensive hairclip. Even if she didn't want to do that, she could have protected herself with a shield more often. What she doesn't need to be doing is staring at her attacker with scared, puppy-dog eyes. |
mr_bushido said: This episode was awesome, what would you douche bags do if you were in Orihime's position? I sure as hell would do something that's not repeating "Kurosaki-kun" over and over again. Maybe at least have the balls to resist Loli. |

mr_bushido said: This episode was awesome, what would you douche bags do if you were in Orihime's position? One of the following: A: Try and stay out of the way. At least then she won't be drawing so much goddamn attention to herself whilst Yammy has everyone distracted. B: Put up at least some resistance. Regardless of whether she can honestly defeat Yammy (which she obviously can't), she still has the damn shield. In fact, if she can reject the flow of events, i'm sure there's quite a bit she could do if she ever actually tried to get creative with that ability. In fact, now that I think about it, why hasn't Orihime tried to anything with that ability other than heal people? I'm sure that's not the only thing it would be restricted to. Granted, i'm sure it has some sort of limitation, but we currently have no idea because she hasn't used the damn thing. There's probably some kind of gambit she could pull if she ever actually tried something creative. |

Unless you're in Full Metal Alchemist in which case if you're a woman, you can probably kick someone's ass all over the place. |

garfield15 said: Nodoka is the god-tier of the shy girl archetype compared to others of her trait like Hinata and Orihime. Thinking about it, Nodoka is very much a fantastic example of the shy girl archetype done right. Despite her shortcomings, she's come out of her shell, developed fantastically as a character, and been one of the most useful characters in the whole damn series. Now let's compare that to Orihime, who is basically just the healer with no real spine or ability to defend herself, who just provides the Damsel In Distress role along with the Deus Ex Healer role that pretty much assures no-one we care about will die... or at least stay dead... in the whole damn series. |
| lol loli is alive maybe if she surrvised all that then it makes more like that grimmjoy is alive too |
