| I don't remember seeing such a great episode or a while, it as been a long time since Bleached hyped me up, |
 |
| it's been a long time since my eyes were last glued to the screen while watching bleach. i knew it was gonna be an exciting episode cuz i've read the manga but still i was surprised at how action-packed this episode is. i was munching on junk food while watching and later i realised i was so engrossed i stopped eating |
Tomoe said: I'm not a big fan of Ichigo's fights to begin with, but with fights like these, who needs him? Animation was really good, at one point you see the arancar in the distance, and then his legs just appear right in front - great. Last two episodes have been great, too bad they can't keep it up.Definitely a great episode, I was so bored with Ichigo's fights and style |
| No offense..but I kinda liked the other fights a bit better than Hisagi's. I mean, it picked up when it got to the end. Well, actually when he released his Zanpakuto. It was more serious than the other ones. ...and seriously? Ikkaku losing? Considering he's the ONLY one out of those 4 who's practically captain class..that's awful. He better pick himself up and whoop that guy's ass next ep DX I like Ikkaku.. |
 |
| I really need to know why he'd lost. The other one hasn't acquired his Resurrection yet! So how the fuck can he lose!? |
 |
| This episode was so epic :D |
 |
| A really good episode... Hisagi Shuuhei has always been one of my favourites characters, but this fight ... <3 the fight , the talking , everything was great. still, i want to know what hapened to madarame...=/ |

deafcon said: Loverhina said: deafcon said: Wow. Awesome episode. Why do I get the feeling that we're rapidly approaching more fillers? Are you stating that this episode is a filler because last time I checked this was apart of the manga, also my opinion there is still alot of material to work with to catch up. Study harder in English class, your reading comprehension could use some work. What I was saying is that I don't believe there is much material from the mange left to be animated right now. you seem to have forgotten about the upcoming ichigo vs ulquiorra fight which will most likely last for 6-7 eps, it was dragged out too much even in the manga as well. Anyway, it was a nice episode but other than the upgraded animation and very fitting music, nothing really different from the usual Bleach... And i dont even like Hisagi <.< |
   |
| Totally loved this episode, Hisagi's sword really is awesome and the other one doesn't even got any strenght XD Anyways I really got shocked at the ending I thought Ikkaku is the strongest from all, can't wait how thise continues... |
 |
| I'm pretty sure Renji knows because didn't Ikakku train Renji? Regardless, it's ridiculously selfish that he doesn't want them to know so badly that he's willing to risk the safety of Soul Society. |
Anitnelav said: Disappointment was the 6min recap. Word. It was a brilliant after a helluva recap start. Hisagi was soo cool. Really good to see his zankpacktou. Was pretty annoyed when he deduced the high pressured water attack from Findor whilst letting his guard down and showing his back to the enemy. >_>. But all in all a great episode. Highlight for me was hearing Konishi pant. Damn that was smexy. And a wee bit o' Soifon. ^__^. Oh and I can't wait for some uber Ikkaku ownage next ep. Lol @ Iba at the end there. Can't wait for some Komamura action too. |

| This is the reason why I still watch Bleach. |
 |
| Haha! I was right I knew Hisagi's fight was going to be the best out of the 4 and the anime version was even better than the manga's. |

| " Who grasps the sword and does not fear... has no right of grasping it. " Finally!! A Shinigami that uses scythes like weapon! |

Kenju said: Haha! I was right I knew Hisagi's fight was going to be the best out of the 4 and the anime version was even better than the manga's. dude Hisagi's fight was good but i am going to saw the best was definitely Kira not really i just liked the beheading. :D |
| hisagi kicked as!!! but now ikkaku is down and one of the pillars is gone! i never understood why the arrancar just shot a cero at the tower and kept firing until they destroyed it, didn't make sense to go through the fights unless they had to |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| Hisagi's fight was amazing. I will have to agree with the rest in that the animations for fights should be just as smooth as this. We caught a glimpse of it at the end of the Hueco Mundo arc with Ichigo and Grimmjow. I bet ikkaku lost because he was too stubborn to use his Bankai, (obviously didn't look like he released it) despite not wanting others to know, he should have done it... |

hungry_bunny said: Agreed, art/animation/music/direction! Hisagi's release is a big deal, so I guess they didn't cut corners with the budget. :D Also thought the Kira and Yumichika fights were better in the anime then manga....This episode was shockingly awesome. The anime version >>> the manga, this time. Didn't think the animators would put that much effort into this fight, but I was pleasantly surprised... hungry_bunny said: Feel the same, but I still can't choose, this one has better overall production values, but Kira's dialogue and character development were so good... >.<What made me like this one better was that the tension and action didn't drop at all from beginning to end, the animation was a lot better and cooler too. But I suppose it's a matter of taste, since the last one had an awesome dialog that this one lacked. |
 |
| Pretty meh episode. Still good, but I enjoyed last weeks episode more. |
 |
| Definitely the best out of the four, don't even care about Ikaku's bankai at this point. Yumichika stated that he'd die before releasing his special ability in front of others. The same goes for Ikaku and because Yumichika got the opportunity to veil his, Ikaku was bound to lose. So this episode was really, really good. In comparison to the past few months, it's actually excellent. Bleach hasn't entirely redeemed itself, and it won't over this sole episode, but it was definitely a great start. I'm still in shock by how good it is because I've grown accustomed to...Bleach crap. :] If they continue? Then Bleach might turn out to be worthwhile. |
 |
| Also, can someone explain to me why, with all of the bloodshed up until this point, they won't show a decapitation or the kill with Shuuhei's most recent fight? It completely goes over my head... |
| |
| btw the censore thing is also in manga ??? if yes, than this is nothing strange... in shounen animes they will always censore this moments. |
| fucking idiot ikkaku, i never understood even in the manga why he didn't use his bankai in this situatuion he was in. Renji uses it all the time and everyone has BEEN know he's had it. |
  |
| This was actually a good episode. 4/5 |
 |
| Instantly one of the best fights in Bleach to date This episode was insanely awesome. They nailed really nailed the animation this time around and the BGM was quite good. |
iMaim said: no its not.Instantly one of the best fights in Bleach to date . you're just excited... it was good but its not the best fight in all the anime |

It completely goes over my head... Most of the bloodshed has either been black or off screen because of the time slot Bleach is in and decapitation is definitely a no no that's why Kira's decapitation was blacked out. The censoring has been one thing that's been killing Bleach lately and I can't imagine how it'll be for later episodes O_O PsychFreak said: LostArticulation said: Also, can someone explain to me why, with all of the bloodshed up until this point, they won't show a decapitation or the kill with Shuuhei's most recent fight?

Now that I think about it, their blood has been rather dark. xD -Sigh- This episode was actually pretty good, it would have been a lot better though without the censoring. |

| Nice to see him finally releasing his shikai. Nice episode but i thought it wasnt one of the best fights in my opinion. |

noteDhero said: I'm pretty sure Renji knows because didn't Ikakku train Renji? Regardless, it's ridiculously selfish that he doesn't want them to know so badly that he's willing to risk the safety of Soul Society. ikakku explained in a very early episode the reason he doesnt want anyone to know about his bankai. its because he respects kenpachi and the squad so much that he does not want to surpass his captain in power. technically, kenpachi doesnt have a bankai since he doesnt know his sword's name - so its pretty bad that ikakku has passed him on that. Im also curious about yachiru's power..... i hope the series shows that soon |
DuelistblueroseMay 15, 2009 3:49 PM
| I know that. I'm talking about Renji's flashback episode where he explains how he trained for his bankai. Didn't they show Renji training with Ikakku? I'm pretty sure Renji already knew about it. |
Duelistbluerose said: Im also curious about yachiru's power..... i hope the series shows that soon That's basically all I've been waiting for since they introduced some back story of her and Kenpachi. I usually don't like kids is anime, especially not pink haired high pitched voiced ones, but for some reason, I really like Yachiru. I think it's because of her relationship with Kenpachi and the power that she has. Because there's no way she could be in a vice-captain seat without having some sort of power, hmm? And being fast (because she is) shouldn't count. I want more. |
| |
| Me thinks Hisagi Shuuhei needs more screen time. He is such an interesting character and that fight, wow, it was good. I'm getting high on Bleach now together with Kira's fight last week. |
 |
| Finally, back to the quality bleach is supposed to be at. Good pacing, decent amounts of spilt blood, Great action with the power in each hit you can feel just by watching. My faith in bleach has been restored, at least for now. |
RICKBO said: My faith in bleach has been restored, at least for now. its only 2 episodes lol xD hope the fights between the capitans will be the same |
| I've been very impressed with the animation quality of the fight scenes for these pillar fights, and this one was the best looking so far. The fight was fluid and intense, and though I am unsure about the leverage that Hisagi gets using his shikai, it still looked cool. |
| Seriously good episode. Nice action and even animation was overall good. I just fear that a new filler arc is coming because what I have heard is that the anime is near manga once again... |
 |
| im really gettng sick of this recap fucking shit. 6 minutes of recaps, no thx. if it keeps up for another 10 episodes im done with watching the anime, ill stick with the manga. fucking sick of it. I can't see how this kind of show production is making a profit in japan, you do this shit in american with any show and people will look at the TV and be like... wait what? and then the fox forums get shitlisted. |
|
| they are making the recap so that the whole fight will fit in One Episode :) though its very annoying |
All I can say is it's about time Hisagi got some air time, that shikai was sick, I can't wait to see what Ikkaku's gonna do next week. |
Daigoji said: All I can say is it's about time Hisagi got some air time, that shikai was sick, I can't wait to see what Ikkaku's gonna do next week. nothing, wasn't he beaten? |
| This episode was incredible!!! Hisagi is so UBER! Who knew his zanpakutou's shikai was so powerful?! Once he released it, he completely turned the tables on "Exata" boy. |
| Wooow, great episode! The battle was epic and the music was great, the animation was great too I especially liked that last bit when the pillar was destroyed with the new OST |
