| It was a decent episode. They didn't end Rukia's fight too quickly. I didn't like the ED song though, but the vid of it was nice. |
 |
| I guess they are drawing all the fights out especially Rukia's. Weird espada Aaroniero is. I don't see Rukia winning unless someone shows up to help her. I just want to see more of Chad and Ishida's fights, and it looks like next episode we will finally and the return of Pesche!! Bawabawa in the arancar enyclopedia was funny. |
 |
| Yes, there is a new ending theme. |
|
| I liked the new ending theme. We still only get a short teaser of Chad's fight :( |
| It's so nice to see Rukia do well for a change! She totally got that creep with her trap. Usually during fights she just pulls out one or two good moves and then finds herself in trouble until someone comes and rescues her. I know she's not the strongest fighter, but I hope she wins this one on her own!! |
 |
| Really... You all thought is was o.k...?! I could barely tolerate Rukia till the end, when she stared to use her head.... I only got to see Nel and "Istygo" for a few moments... The showed only teasers on the rest of the teams fight... By the way when does Renji actually even fight - let alone engage in a verbal spat with the enemy...? My morning kinda stared of bad; so I found myself actually anticipating this... Yet for some reason -notably the un#'ed list above- I find myself incredibly pissed, and disappointed. Welcome to life I guess... |

Yet for some reason -notably the un#'ed list above- I find myself incredibly pissed, and disappointed. Welcome to life I guess... Turn that frown upside-down! Don't know why I said that; just felt like it. The episode was ok, but as you said; there hasn't been much action with Ishida and Chad, which is a shame, because Ishida's fight was really entertaining (and in the manga too), and Chad gets a very interesting enemy after his encounter with an Ex-Espada... Animation is still top-notch (for now), new ED was ok, but I've never really grown fond of ANY of Bleach's ED's. |
| I miss the early bleach endings. For one, im really surprised they've kept the full episode's focus on one fight. Great move imo. seeing rukia's kidou combo, and kaien's "regeneration" animated really did them justice compare to the manga, but the latter.... wow, that was explicit. Can't wait for Chad's fighttttttttttt |

| Nel was soo cute at the end of the episode!!! also, this show is getting a bit annoying... i mean i would like to see someone, especially 'Itsygo' win a fight even once, but actually do it fast, instead of the classic "doing great, getting almost beat, and winning in the end" theme |
| As always, too slow |
| Rukia pulled off a nice Hadoken. |
|
| great episode. Nice to see rukia fight.. I hope she do well the next episode. |
 |
| Not bad, not really great either. But it looks like we go back to Ishida's fight next episode, so I dont see why some of you are complaining about not enough Ishida/Chad action. |
 |
misa-misa-chan said: Meh, it is all part of the genre. If anything, blame the manga artist. The Anime is just stretching the fights a bit longer, but not really changing it's flow. Also, I love the fact Rukia will actually get to show what she's got, without anyone butting in and getting her out of the pinch.Nel was soo cute at the end of the episode!!! also, this show is getting a bit annoying... i mean i would like to see someone, especially 'Itsygo' win a fight even once, but actually do it fast, instead of the classic "doing great, getting almost beat, and winning in the end" theme And we are getting Ishida's fight next week. Awesome ! |
 |
| loved it, i hope rukia will kick the arrancar but lol,or byakuya will do it.^-^ |

laoscrack said: Wasabi said: Rukia pulled off a nice Hadoken. Agree There's one new kidou right? I was actually making a Street Fighter reference. :D But I think Byakuya used it before. |
|
Wasabi said: But I think Byakuya used it before. Yep. He used it on Renji. Yay for the Kuchikis~ As for the ep, it was aweome. I love seeing Rukia fighting, and Nejibana's animation was great and nicely done. Btw I hate that Aaronireo after all he's done, pretending to be Kaien. Ugh, like hell he's Kaien D< |
     |
| Good episode, bit more action in the Rukia fight and good use of her demon arts :D also just cant enough of Ichigo & Nel Nel - "Giddyup horsie" XD Ichigo - " Freakin' kids" LOL! look forward to the next episode and the development of Chad & Ishida's battles! also like the new ending! ^_^ |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| Wow Rukia is kicking ass. Some really awesome moves there, and yeah Itchigo and Nell= win.lol |
 |
fw said: Well, she got rid of his psychological game. Although I agree she should have aimed for him instead. She's basically tiring herself instead of wearing down the opponent.FiiFO said: and good use of her demon arts :D Not rly, but espada said it so I'm not going to repeat :p |
|
| liked it!! some of the highlights of this episode for me were: - when Aaroniero (lol) says, "it almost sounded like you could win if you didn't hold back" i don't know why i loved it!! ^_^ - Nell's throaty noises when Ichigo stops hahaha - Gin stabbing Bawabawa lol |
| I wish I hadn't read the manga past the anime. It kind of ruined the story for me, but the fighting was, nevertheless, still cool. |
 |
NoyaChan said: As for the ep, it was aweome. I love seeing Rukia fighting, and Nejibana's animation was great and nicely done. I agree, it really looked way better than in the manga. |
| It was great ^^ |
| YES, I've repicked up bleach thanks to them finally getting to the Rukia Fight!! I've been waiting since issue one of the bleach manga for a fight like this for Rukia. Im not gunna spoil, I just cant wait to see this animated. |
 |
| So THAT's the secret behind Aaroniero... Mmm.. wonder if I should read the Manga past the Anime... Well, after ending his psychological game, Rukia should be able to fight with all she got.. so let's see what happens. New ending... I didn't like it too much, but at least is better than the previous one. And.. I liked the video. Haven't been a fan of Bleach's endings for a while. |
 |
| The new ending was ok. Nothing special, but change is good. I want to see the rest of Ishida's fight though :c |

moviepoopshoot said: Actually, it seems quite fine. 60 is under 90 isn't it? That said, he was just toying with them back then. Either way, Rukia is a master of Kidou (and so is Biakuya) so it's not surprised he has improved so much. She only reached Biakuya's level though.That ep was pretty good. But sumthing thats been bugging me is that (i think) Rukia used a Kidou in the sixties? Everyone was amazed when Aizen used a nineties Kidou so how could Rukia use a sixties one, or is aizen not as strong as he is portrayed? |
|
| Everybody was amazed that Aizen was able to pull off a lv90 kidou without the incantations. Rukia had used the incantations so she was able to pull off hers fine. |
|
Yumi said: There's different levels for every type of kidou. It was quite a trick to use a simple bind kidou to trick him and give her time to chant the incantation for the stronger bind kidou (which are the same kidou spell in different levels).this was okay, i really loved the part where Rukia unleashes the *new* kidou(s) well new in our eyes coz they always use white lightning, blue fire, shot of red fire... |
|
| Nice ep. Great fighting between Rukia and Aaroniero Arruruiertes (who has the most stupid name EVER) Lol at Bawabawa at the end. |
 |
| I don't like Rukia so I can't wait for this fight to be over. I want to see Chad fight. The Nel and Ichigo bits were funny as were the Renji and big face moments and the bit at the end when BawaBawa tried to swallow Gin was good. |
 |
| Rukia's fight is going to be interesting but I want to see Chads fight. |
| The 9th espada looks so unique. |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |

| Nice to see yet another full ep for Rukia's fight. It was also nice to see some new kidou moves, seeing as Rukia is meant to be a specialist in it and we've hardly seen any for ages. Why doesn't she just jump outside and knock the place down with kidou though? XD |
 |
| This is why I love Rukia. Even without her weapon she is a threat. Her using Byakuya's Kidou combo was awesome. People tend to forget that she is the only one fighting an actual Espada right now. That 9th Espada is ugly as shit btw. Makes the "Real" Gluttony from FMA(B) look cool. Renji's interaction with that Hollow never get old LoL. |
 |
| The good OP vid is back, and we get a bad new ED in the same time. It was a good episode, nonetheless. Rukia is so weak, but she compensates with how she goes straight to the point in a fight. Too bas she didn't hurt the Arancar, when she got the chance tho.. |
  |
| Some crazy character development, the real fight has just begun! And lol that new ED :D |
 |
| Ugh, old opening footage is back. I personally liked DiamondDust Rebellion footage more :/ Nice episode though. Glad we saw more kidou cause shinigamis barely use this amazing magic! :P Like seriously, they should use it more in the series. Never thought I'd say it, but where is Orihime? Wasn't she supposed to somehow prevent Houghyoku (not sure if I spelled it right lol) from being made? And where is Aizen-sama?! D: |
