Lillynette and Starrk are two parts of the same soul. They explained it a bit differently in the anime than in the manga, but Starrk does say more than once that he and Lillynette are one and the same. The wolves are just a part of his energy, like everything else. Another kind of cero.

its good ofc if you look from the good side ;)


That was the point. As he said before, his characteristic is to be uncharacteristic. In other words, he's deliberately unpredictable.

By the way, it can be said that he IS treating Starrk with honor by respecting him enough to refuse to pull any punches with him. Playing "with the kid gloves on" would be to show no respect to Starrk and his ability.

Also...something you said earlier, that it was stupid of Shunsui to NOT use his Bankai right away...one basic tenet of strategy is to not show your hand immediately. If you show every trick you have immediately, anyone left AFTER your fight now has a chance to plan for it. It only makes sense to keep it hidden until he knows that he HAS to use it. Common sense.

Finally! Someone on this godforsaken show takes this shit seriously. While everyone is talking, arguing amongst themselves, not using their bankai for stupid-ass reasons, and getting themselves nearly killed for the sake of some absurd sense of pride, Kyouraku stabs Coyote in the back. Thank you.

Other than that, it was just another pointless episode of Bleach.

How did that weird laid-back captain manage to hurt him?

Ichigo + bankai + hollow mask + ichigos most powerful attack VS #4 espada (who took regeneration instead of power) first release = #4 espada standing completely unaffected.

You would think thatit would require at least old beard boss captain + bankai + mask to hurt #1 espada + release

I knew the wolfs were coming, but seriously I expected something stronger Dx 1 hit kill these guys already, the number 2 Espada took 2 nukes head on, and destroyed Soifon's and that other guys arm. And yea, still cowardly of kyouraku, I expected his style to be different. [Although I read his zan. is that way above]

But yea the Wolves seemed Ok. They seem to do as much dmg as a half-cero though >.>

^ Agree with the above poster, Bleach's power levels and range is completly off balance and makes no sense. Although as a defend, number 4 Espada I think was gonna be number 1 if Aizen knew about his second release. Altho he tanked a getsuga normally too

I think something is wrong with his bankai...

....because for some reason he refuse to use it

...maybe its too powerful / it has some flaw

I don't understand why everyone is flippin out over Kyouraku's backstab... He was the original opponent and Stark forgot who he was fighting and turned his back on him. I would've done the same thing if my opponent turned his back on me while we're still fighting... You would too.

Anyway best episode for awhile now, but Im getting a little annoyed with the Halibel fight.

I don't see what is weird in hurting him? Didn't you saw he was from behind. If Ichigo managed to to get a clear stab opportunity against Ulqiora his sword would still have hurt him even in Bankai mode.
And that laid-back captain can kick Ichigo's ass easily if Ichigo tries to fight him with just his bankai.
His one of the oldest and strongest captains.

Exactly. The guy is a little loony. No one got how he is by now? His basically decent but also a little crazy and childish.
His not overly serious to take the whole "fight with honor" thing to heart. His a little like a child. Is like a little boy that goes and hits his sister on the back and then you tell him he shouldn't do that and he just ask why. It's just that he combines that with a mature smart man making a complete mess of an uncharacteristic character.
I mean he tried to hit Stark before using his hat while Stark wasn't looking. Stark even made a comment about it about not expecting him to be that kind of man. And anyone remember Soul Society? How he first tried to escape the old man instead of fighting him.

Yes - he is uncharacteristic hero but I think he isn't childish. He doesn't like fighting and he will do anything to avoid fight. In Soul Society, his conversation with Sado wasn't childish(but I don't remember what they said to each other).

The fight was OK, Lillinette suprisingly, isn't annoying to me. But this all is just a prelude to a much better match up hopefully soon.

Hiyori and Lisa say that the time they can seriously fight is limited, but if they have been training as Vizard's for the past 100 years or so, how come that time is so limited?

It's nice to see that Shunsui finally got off his ass. lol.

Starrk and Lillynette's past really intrigues me, I want to learn more about them.

It was nice seeing them basically fodder two Vaizards with masks on when they got a little serious. The Wolf theme is awesome and perfectly defines the them.

That back stab was low, but that's how a real battle is.

Also, Hitsugaya and Hiyori are at it once again. ^^

^still attacking from behind is a lame/childish move.. how many fights have you seen in anime? there are tons of this.. when the Villain comes and attacks a hero from the back.. cause he was weak or loosing(villain) and was afraid of dieing..so he kills from the back when the good guy doesnt notice..

the same goes here.. Kuyokaru is a captain ffs.. and a strong one.. attacking from behind is a lame move from him =
you have a bankai -_- use it
and play fair.)

Dude, Kyoraku already tried to strike Stark off-guard at least one or twice before, or have you missed the initial Stark fight? Doing it is totally Kyoraku.

Anyways, this was a great episode. Keep them coming!
