I know right? NONE of the captains could realisitically last 10 seconds with ichgio and his vizard mask. All he'd have to do is a insanely fast shunpo to the back of a captain and slice their head off. He's way too fuggen fast.


Yeah, wasn't he too fast even for Byakuya and he didn't even have the mask on?

Wonder who was disguising as lurichiyo


i thank it is 3rd Division,3rd seat Kifune, because in the opening he is fighting his cap. then ichigo jumps in. and not only that, when he went to the manor and was with Kumoi, who wants to take over the manor

I actually enjoyed this episode, Ichigo vs. Soi Fong was good even if Ichigo was just passively defending himself without really trying. Story is still quite wonky .. but eh, what filler plot isn't? Things can only get better from here.

i was actually decently interested this episode, and to my horror i realized i'm actually fairly interested to see where this arc is going now. i know, sue me. besides, new captain vs. Ichigo? could be fun.

Could not help but rofl when kenryuu released his zanpaktou, for me that just made the ep! I can imagine enryuu talking near the end of the arc, i just hope they dont give him a bad voice. I dont mind this filler arc so much as i think it will make the hueco mundo arc more intense as i cant wait to go back to it, but for now this will do :]

"Stink all enemies to death, Suzumebachi."

Hey, that's what MY zanpakutou is supposed to do!

Lol, yeah, I noticed that mistake too. :D

Oh Byukuya, you still make me smile.
"I refuse."

Decent episode; it was alright overall, though some parts made me angry. -.-
Like how Soifon was unable to jump over the ice wall.

Felli disapproves of this thread.

Ennryu's fists of fury were pretty badass.

I was kind of surprised and disappointed that Kenpachi didn't jump at the opportunity to fight Ichigo.

Enryuu's power looks the same like chads... It was pretty neat imo.
Trap Lurichio is bad. And after seeing so many Rukia x Soifon doujins actually seeing them fight was a nice change of pace as well, even though Rukia gets pwnd like always.

"What happens when we die?" I know that the ones who love us will miss us.

Now this episode was a total letdown. I was kinda hoping *something* to happen, but instead *nothing* happened. I really am gonna miss this ~20 mins right before i die. Wonder how long they gonna drag this filler on... oh, speaking of which: they invented a new term: filler in filler ---> who the hell cares about Shuus fallining in love with Lury at first sight? - I certainly don't.

there were also a plot hole: where Soifon asks Ichigo is he has some proof that Lury was a fake, he asks her to believe him... now, what about Shuu, who has seen the whole thing? He should stand near them.

I don't really get it. Well, overall: i gave it 1 point, cuz apart from its a total letdown, nothing has happened since weeks. Period.
[a lot more, just being lazy to write it all down]
Enough with the cons...lets get to the pros.

Enryuu's power was indeed cool, and yes, Rukia got her ass kicked :P

I am quite dissapointed.
It's action-type anime to why there is so little action? I mean Ichigo and the rest are holding back so much, whereas they could beat teh crap out of them, take REAL Lurichio back and THEN explain themselves... Instead they are running away. Besides do they really think that sending all those regular Shinigami will do any good? They are 1-shot. Only captains could fight with Ichigo on equall level however let's remember that he was able to beat (well...) Zaraki and Byakuya and he was a lot weaker then + he didn't have hollow. So at the present time I guess there is no single oponent that could handle him (except for Zaraki and Genryuusai, 'cuz I guess previous IchigoxZaraki battle was a lil unclear). Then why are they persitently trying to avoid fighting? As I said if I were them I'd just fight then talk. But I guess I was allways a bit sudden. I'm more Zaraki fight (fight fight fight) and my way of thinkin' is kinda plain.
Still just my honest opinion. I won't be satisfied unless some big battle arises. And I can't wait to see another Zaraki (he's the best ;D) vs. Kurosaki fight.

I should not expect too much from these fillers but if we are to watch them we should not be treated that way...
Besides why Soifon hates Ichigo so much? It's just not real. If it wasn't for him they'd be in deep shit. Even Ukitake doubted all that crap but she just kept attacking... Stupid bitch '- -

An average episode. And the filler arc seems to go on and on and on and...

I must say I got a little desappointed. I was hoping that at least the fight with Soi Fon was a decent one but not even close. I don't get it. Espada are supposed to be stronger or as strong as a taichou level shinigami, and Ichigo and Rukia defeated Espada before (I say before because Chad already used both of his arms in this arc). How come they get their asses kicked by Soi Fon without an even fight? *sigh*

Disappointing episode. The last one was pretty good, I was hoping the fillers would get better. Instead we get more bad animation and GIANT PLOT HOLES. Proof that Rurichiyo's a fake? How about the fact that she stabbed Ichigo while the groom watched, and that if you checked her out she probably had the weapon. And if you're going after Ichigo, why wouldn't Soi Fong just get her super ninja police to find him?

Let's hope the next episode's better.

Eh, I thought it was going to get more interesting but it was a letdown..

Agreed.

I hope Kira doesn't die later on by Kifune or someone else..

I was excited Soi Fon was gonna be in it, but then she totally got shafted. I mean, she could've gotten rid of Rukia in two seconds and gone after Ichigo. And whatwhatwhat about her on-the-side ninja squad? What about them?

I also think I was angsting about how Ichigo should've shown her the wound when Soi Fon asked for proof.

I guess Ichigo's back to being a ryoka.

ARMOSTRONGO TAISHO released his Shikai!

Was nice seeing Soifon kicking ass for a change. Was she really trying to kill Ichigo when she released? Rukia was aiming for both of them too when she released Hakuren. Everyone is trying to kill Ichigo LoL.

I'm ready to see a sober Amagai fight, let's go.

this arc is the worst pile of pigs crap ive ever watched it makes no sense they havent shown the goal of the badguy the devlopment is near zero the characters mostly the soul reapers are seriously dumb i mean ichigo has a stab wound in his chest which was from the imposter and yet she thinks a little girls response wld be to stab him and that she shld trust someone she has never personally meet who was laughing out load and confessed about 3 feet away from her and not trust ichigo who she must realise is trust worthy from previous incounters and the friends he has who she is friends with. kenpachi actually captured one of the assassins trying to kill the princess so wth is with there logic they never even tried to work out wat is going on they jst thought the outsider must be the bad guy

Am I the only one who thinks Soi Fon is kind of annoying? Idk what it is about her, and I feel bad that I haven’t been able to force myself to like her especially since she’s one of the only women in Bleach who isn’t weak sauce.

I do wonder how many people are hating this arc purely because it is filler rather than enjoying the episode. I myself , like with the bount arc, have been enjoying this arc, as well as the canon ones.
