| So that was how ichigo mom and his dad are meeting each other. So she is a quicy what means that for ichigo now im curious. |
P O S I T I V E V I B E Sシ  |
| Let's goo!!! The flashback arc is finally here. So Ichigo's dad was the former captain of the 10th division. It was nice seeing both Toushiro and Rangiku from back then. And yep, we once again see Gin, Aizen and Tosen. Ichigo's mom's a quincy and the whole story of how his parents met was both wholesome and awesome. I liked that fight scene!!! There's still plenty left to tell. I can't wait to watch the conclusion of this first cour!!! |

| Yes, I've been waiting for this! Of course, Kurosaki-san wasn't going to be fazed at all to meet a Quincy out of the blue, lmao. It's interesting that the current caretaker of Ishida was involved in the past between them and it's no surprise to see Aizen and co. as well. And then the drop in the final few seconds of Ishida meeting the general from Wandenreich, things are spicing up for real here! Ichigo's soul searching, it looks like the next two episodes will probably delve more and then proceed to finish things off for the cour. Can't complain about that, lol. Kurosaki-san's way of calling Ichigo back home was pretty cool though, I didn't think he'd want to boast that side of him for long. Next week's going to be insane, and I can't wait! |

| Wow, his mother it was a Quincy!!! kekeke |
| I'm not really a fan of them cutting out some of Aizen's explanations this episode, but aside from that it was solid |
 |
| And there you have it, the reveal that Ichigo's mother was a Quincy, thus making Ichigo himself part Quincy. It was great to get more spotlight on Isshin and to see how he and Masaki met. The traitor trio of Aizen, Gin, and Kaname was also a welcome sight (lol I almost forgot Kaname and Isshin have the same VA). The short scene after the ED was eerie, next weeks double length finale is going to be great. I can't wait but at the same time it's going to suck to have to part ways with Bleach for a bit. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords. |
| In a way the bond between a reaper and their Asauchi is one thats akin to being partners from the beginning. Its nice to see Ikumi again but also Ichigo's father in full soul reaper fear as well. Hmm so Isshin was the former captain of the 10th huh. Wonder does Rangiku still remember him. It was funny seeing Toshiro as a seated officer back then. Hmm that was a flash from the past of conspiracy of captains led by Aizen. Back then Masaki sure was a bundle of positivity. The prototype Hollow hybrid though sure was terrifying. But Masaki really surprised me during her intervention. Overall a fun ep that did well to balance out Ichigo's frustration with the reveal of his mothers identity via his parents first meeting. Curious at what happens next. |

| HOLYFUCK And of course Aizen. DAMN MASAKI IS OP AF ISSHIN IS A FIRE USER TOO WHAT |
 |
| This episode was fire! How Ichigo becomes the ultimate species. |
 |
| Would be interesting to have seen more of squad 10 in Isshin's days, with the dynamics between him and Rangiku Getting Ichigo's mother and father to meet and screwing Ryu's marriage must've also been part of Aizen's plan Scenes in the rain looked good, though maybe not at the same level as that fight they did in Akudama Drive |
 |
| So let me this get straight no rukia butt... butt we get a lot of misaki thighs? naruhodo |
| I hate backstory episodes by default so this was somewhat unbearable for me to watch. Also Isshin was the featured character and frankly I've never liked him much. The animation was gorgeous though, it's just too bad that the fight was short and the anime didn't expand it. Would've been nice to have seen Isshin's Bankai, but this series refuses to add interesting non-manga material like that. |
| Isshin's how I met your mother was actually wholesome and I really like Masaki as a character. Also, we got to see and hear again Gin, pure bliss. |
Oh, God - the lives people try to lead. Oh, God - what a world they try to lead them in! |
| All according to Aizen's plan. Even Shiba is part of it in the end. Well, that means Ichigo is quite the mixed guy here, even being a quincy from his mother's side. The hollow looked like him for some reason, but it's a failure? Might not be anything big, but the design was similar. A great episode. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Gin: You do know Tosen is blind. He can't see what's on the monitors or push buttons. Aizen: It's a joke, just roll with it Gin. |
| Watching this episode reminded me that I've forgotten way more about Bleach than I actually remember 😅 The black hollow thing (White), the other guy beside Aizen & Gin, the Quincy family members with Masaki, etc. all familiar but not totally forgot their significance or plot around them. Also, that conversation in the beginning with Squad 0 & Renji about Ichigo not being able to get a Zanpakto without having an Asauchi... how was it that he managed to get a Zanpakto in the first place then? Clearly there are other methods to getting one (they even showed Kenpachi simply picking one up off a dead soldier), so why does Ichicgo suddenly have to know his past? |

| Masterpiece of an episode.. the animation and colors used during the night scenes are so beautiful |
| How can you not love Misaki? Both on a superficial level and a more deeper one! Like she went and saved her supposed enemy, right? |
| Bro it all makes sense now now we know the real reason behind why Aizen was watching over Ichigo it was interesting to him that A Hollow created from a dead Soul Reaper chose a Quincy who was his mom and that’s why he watched over Ichigo it was all apart of his plan |
 |
| We're finally here! I can't believe it! The Masaki reveal has landed! And Isshin being a Captain and a Shiba, Aizen, of course, behind everything... And if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have Ichigo and we wouldn't have Bleach. So yeah, everything according to his plan. |
 |
| Finally some Isshin screen time lol. Ichigo's mom looks pretty hot ngl |
 |
| Aw, that was a wholesome first meeting between Isshin and Masaki. So Ichigo is a Shinigami, Quincy, and a Hollow. What an insane mix. |
| God I wish Ikumi was my boss This flashback was another part I have been looking forward to seeing in the anime for a long time, it's been great so far Looks like we get the final two episodes of the cour next week, I bet they'll be incredible! |
| And that's how your mother and I met. UGHHHH Masaki-san and Isshin-san!!!! They looked really great 🔥 10000/5 |

| i know it was just a small cameo but i enjoyed seeing Gin, Tosen an Unagiya for (i think) one last time |
 |
| Flashback episode about Ichigo's parents which is very cool, I was very entertained by this episode and also the story in this episode will be the answer to the question who is Ichigo really. I'm glad next week's last episode is filled with the story of Ichigo's parents. Good Episode 5/5 |

| Reveal of Ichigo's mother and she's apparently a quincy. The segment between Isshin vs White was beautiful, the flame animation along with the ost is a top notch |
Isshin vs White Hollow battle is so good I love how Isshin's shikai is a fire-based, power which only few possess. Masaki is so powerful she one-shotted an espada-level hollow, she seems as skillful as Uryuu, being able to rapid fire many arrows at once like that while possessing only basic Quincy bow. |

CQLLIST said: Reveal of Ichigo's mother and she's apparently a quincy. The segment between Isshin vs White was beautiful, the flame animation along with the ost is a top notch lots going on but it now raises the question as to how the fuck Masaki died to a low level hollow. |
| that! was! awesome! :D |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
