Yeah, I haven't been this excited about Bleach in ages.
This was obviously a high-budget episode and the rest will have much worse animation but the story seems really interesting.
Also, Kazeshini (Hisagi's zanpakuto) is awesome.

Yeah, now i can really understand why Hisagi fears his zanpakuto so much lol

My favorite so far has to be a toss up between Matsumoto's and Hitsugaya's.

I'm really curious about Kenpachi's.

Wait who was kazeshine? I didnt get who belonged to who. Except matsumoto, she has a cat woman zanpakuto resembling yoruichi.

Can you take some screenshots of them? :P

After a tear of blood (I'm assuming) falls from one of Muramasa's eyes, Kazeshini, I'm pretty sure, is the one rampaging and cutting Shinigami up with his dual-scythes.

And for the zanpakutou identities, there's a comment here about it.

This filer looks sick (never thought I would say that) defintly better than the bount and the blond brat, Lurichcrap or what ever she was called.
could any one tell which zanpakto 'body' went with which person. I could only pick out the obvious.
Believe in me that believes in you.

Same here! I'm didn't even realize the half-way mark, so I was highly upset when I saw the ending song come up.
This is promising.
Animation and the questionable plot is good!
Hitsugaya being chibi-fied at times was hilarious. xD
The new evil guy....his nails....it must be so hard to pick his nose..o.o;;
As long as this doesn't turn into one thing...I'll be fine..

wow, that was beyond what I was expecting for a filler. I actually enjoyed this a lot. A darker feel than usual episodes. Seeing the zenpaktous' true forms, I'm excited about this arc. Many of them looked really bad ass. I think my favorites would have to be Hyourinmaru and Kazeshini

Is it me or did the high budget gothic styled animation make this ep feel like a Bleach movie, something reminiscent of "Diamond Dust Rebellion." I love the character style of the guy who is controlling all the other zanpuktos and his evil laugh give me kicks and chills.Hisagi's zanpukto form is deadly and scary. Is it me or is Captain Commanders Vice Captain a weakling and hasn't proven much yet? I mean c'mon you get owned less than a second against 1 hit from Ichigo and then drop face forward into the ground in front of all the other captains and lieutenants, geeez. Anyways I'm really interested to see where this is going and how much better hopefully this will progress and not worse.

And 1 last comment, why isn't there any night fights? to me the environment & moon lit sky brings out the best fights in Bleach. OH yeah, I love the score/music that's playing when the Hisagi's zanpakuto is doing the shinigamis in like at the end of "Ninja Resurrection OAVi."

Perhaps Masamune guy is supposed to be owned by Kenpachi and feels so ignored now that he is making all Zankaputos (whatever spelling goes) rebel.

Well, there is that theory that Yachiru is his zanpakuto. It's unlikely, but interesting.
I'm expecting some skeleton or something like that. Since that was the shape his reiatsu took when he and Ichigo charged at each other. (Ichigo's took the shape of a hollow mask)
Also, that robed figure could belong to Unohana or Nemu as well. We don't know it's Kenpachi's.

Nah, Masamune was a famous Japanese sword-smith. I'm not sure if this guy's just named after him or if it's really supposed to be him but I'm guessing he's related to the origin of the zanpakuto.

Actually, while watching this, it did remind me of "Diamond Dust Rebellion." I think it was the animation, the over all feeling the episode gave, and it helps that toushirou got more screen time.

Right now, I'm wondering when the next OST is scheduled to release? I'm looking forward to it.

Wouldnt it be awesome if kenpachi gets bankai in this arc :D (aint gonna happen, i know.)
Damn, he would become godlike. If your reiatsu and power get 5-10 times stronger when in bankai he would beat aizen and genryuusai like it was nothing. I mean, he already has more than captain bankai reiatsu, if he gets bankai he would have TEN times captain reiatsu. That would be 5 times more than aizen, at least.

I think zaraki is supposed to be the strongest of the new generation captains (all captains except commander, unohana, kyoraku and ukitake) since he has killed the lowest ranked espada so far. Soi fon and hitsugaya might be stronger.

Kenpachi said his reiatsu is so big he couldn't seal it even if he wanted to.

That was...pretty interesting.

This has to be the best filler ever. Screw all the crappy stuff they've been putting us through...they should just make this into a full fledged Arc in Bleach. LoL.

It reminded me of the "Diamond Dust Rebellion" also.
Pretty awesome we get to see all of their physical forms.

NICE. This is the first time in a very long time that i've actually enjoyed watching an episode of bleach. I hope the rumors are true and this arc turns out to be 50 something eps, because we'll get a (hopefully) good anime original arc, and maybe the main storyline won't suck as much after having a year to plan.

Very cool for a filler so far.

This all but confirms that Zaraki will meet his zapakuto an achieve bankai at some point in the bleach story.

The reason that Kenpachi and Yachiru weren't there is that they can't show us anything about their zanpakuto yet. That will be a major plotline later on.

Lots to say here, so I'll only post some.

I really hope my interest for this story won't be unfulfilled like the last one did about two seasons ago, because given the amount of "new villains" introduced, we're in for a season-long filler! :( Kubo himself supposedly wrote this, so I hope it lives up to our excitement, and I'm a very harsh critic! The animation is movie-quality and the premise is a fresh but very natural extention to the Bleach universe (but I thought Renji's zanpakto came in the form of baboon?). The animation in Toshiro's office was by far the best in many years- I wonder if a different animation director was hired. I say "new" in quotations, because we really knew about these zanpakto spirits for years, which is a very clever idea.

I'm actually kind of looking forward to this arc too. Only thing I don't agree on is some people saying the animation seems better. I didn't notice this at all, or it could just be Dattebayo's notoriously low-quality encoding... But still, I guess I'm actually looking forward to more.

I'm really excited to see what this arc is going to turn into. How awesome would it be if the vaizards, along with ichigo, had to play a role in saving all their zanpakutou. It will probably lean more towards inner conflict between each Shinigami.


I just really hope it's not their regular swords and a little bit a kidou fighting with their zanpakutou, that would be a let down.

I think it is going to be kidou (but for someone like Hinamori and Soi Fon, is that even a bad thing?) until Ichigo (since Zangetsu is probably fine) and the gang come to help. I do wonder if Urahara's is fine.

I will remain skeptical regarding whether or not I will like this, since Bleach filler has a tendency to overstay its welcome.

I dont think zangetsu is fine, he was trying to tell something to ichigo but at last he didnt, I think ichigo is the only one whos gonne be able to use hes normal powers, using Ogishi...

although i would love to see Kenpachi's zanpakuto i don't think it will be here because all the zanpakuto that are reveled so far are ones that have been in contact with there Shinigami and seem to belong to all the people that were called to the hill. although kenpachi didn't go, the message went to the other captains directly but his went to the bald guy (can't remember his name right now) instead of him.

this arc should be great

I agree with you but why do you think this is?

Is it because bleach fights are naturally dragged out and they feel like they have to do the same even if there is much less substance in a filler fight? This formula is great for a movie but for a year long filler arc it recalls bad memories of me sitting through another Bounto arc.

Another reason could be the terrible endings of each filler arc. Whether it's Kariya's plan evaporating into thin air or Amagai's sudden realization of stupidity. Each of these left a sour taste in my mouth about the whole arc.


Well it's trial and error and they have more practice now so here's hoping that they can tie up this arc better than their previous ones.
