Well it still wasn't animated well lol. Bleach always has one consistant animation in all episodes, while naruto for example has bad, to very good lol.

The animation was alright though, decent indeed, but not great (But ive seen many great animated anime's , so that's prob why)

Idk I liked the episode. Although im never really worried, like with her sword. We know shes gonna get it back somehow lol.

Although byakuga shouldn't be so strong without a freaking shikai/bankai, its kinda unfair seeing him defeat a high lvl zanp. (Although I guess he mostly fights without releasing anything)

Renji did some new shizzle though lol. And im way more excited for this then the main story, cause they didn't present the main story well at all tbh lol.

Its just oh cool, there fighting mediocre animated battles vs high lvl dudes. Although there animating that while showing htis

I really don't know what the hell is going in Byakuya's head but I hope we find out soon. Other than that, this was pretty good episode, a lot of tension throughout the Soul Society due to Byakuya's "betrayal". Poor Rukia, she doesn't have Sode no Shirayuki anymore, but since this is filler, she'll find a way to get it back somehow.

Pretty nice fight scenes, loved Zabimaru's techniques. Good episode.

Does every episode must end with Ichigo's obligatory last shot?

All talk of Byakuya and his pride is getting annoying. Nonetheless, I liked this ep. Byakuya easily pwned Sode no Shirayuki. Hmm. Next week's ep is gonna be awesome.

One more time... WHAT THE FUCK IS BYAKUYA DOING?!!? His fight with Sode no Shiraiyuki was pretty badass. I refuse to believe that she is ACTUALLY dead, because this is just a filler and we can't exactly leave Rukia without a Zanpakutou, can we? Not for long, anyway. : P

Of course, he obviously wasn't about to harm Rukia, so he hasn't turned all bad... he's gotta have some underlying plan or something... or maybe he's been hypnotized by Muramasa... or maybe he found out Muramasa was someone important and if he died all Soul Society would be destroyed... or something, haha.

I want to see Senbonzakura without his mask.

Best part of the episode was the very end, with Hyourinmaru turning Hitsugaya's room into an Ice Museum. I LOL'd at that. X D

Great fights, but i don't like how renji's zabimaru could jsut materialize and fight on their own, if so why havent all zanpaktous done that when there masters are in trouble before?

Renji's first fight that hasn't bored me to death (probably since it was short). Byakuya is really serious about this, but it annoys me how we always have to look at his back. Can't he just turn around? Geez.

Wow it's actually more interesting watching them fight without their zanpaktous. Great episode. Didn't expect Byakuya to take down Rukia's zanpaktou so easily... Also I hope we get some answers to wtf is happening soon.

It seems that some of people don't truly understand Byakuya's character.

He never says to the Zanpakutou that he's joining them, they just say 'Prove you're on our side' and he does something that makes it seem that way. Whenever someone asks if he's on their side, he never answers. Also, notice what his eyes did when Renji said "Explain to Rukia!" He flinched. If he was really being a dick about things, his eyes wouldn't have moved at all.

I wasn't surprised in the very least that he killed Sode no Shirayuki. As soon as his Zanpakutou even brought up that suggestion, I said "He's going to do it, and she will die."

Now, Mayuri figured that when you kill someone else's Zanpakutou, they die for good. Knowing him, the genius he is, he'll figure out a way to fix it.

I think Byakuya told Rukia not to go near him or participate in the rebellion is because he's protecting her against it all. Seems to make an awful lot of sense as to why he went after Sode no Shirayuki really fast. No Zanpakutou for Rukia, no way she can fight. Which means she'll HAVE to stay away from the rebellion and let others take care of it.

He has a plan. He wouldn't just do this on a whim, so I'm not mad at him about anything at all. If anything, he's making this more interesting. We'll see what Byakuya's going to really do soon enough. And hell, maybe he'll end up saving Old Man Yama is the process.

-Byakuya....I'm starting to go back to the season 2 days when I hated your very existence. Don't make me go back there. I swear, you better have some sort of plan going on here. Shut up about your darn pride already.

-The Senbonzakura vs. Zabimaru and Byakuya vs. Renji was also good. The fights in this filler were fantastic. They should just have the whole arc be nothing but fighting. Oh and the rock music playing was awesome! m/

-Okay...WHY DOES RENJI KICK ASS ONLY IN FILLERS? Come on Kubo. I mean, look at this fight. The filler animators are using Renji better than you are! (Oh wait, never mind. He still lost. But that was the best fight he's ever been in)


Word up. I second all of that.

This filler arc is going to end up being lame by the end. I guarantee they won't explain everything and the usual screwy Bleach logic will come into play.

The thing about that is, I don't think she's really dead. I mean yeah, we saw the shadow of what happened, but we didn't actually see any part of her body - that may be too gruesome for Bleach - or even her face after she fell. She just sort of disapperead. But then again, the sword IS broken.

He has a plan.

See, the rational side of me agrees with this 100%. BUT, by seeing his actions, I can't help but think: WTF?!

I think what appened at the end of the episode is part of Byakuya's plan. By acting as a suspicious ally, some Zanpakutou will be compelled to tail him. And by hanging around Soul Society, he's essentially giving back the Zanpakutou to the Sihinigami.

Just according to keikaku.

And I think Byakuya really destroyed SnS, cause as far as I know, he actually don't want Rukia to expose herself to dangers by being a Shinigami.
Of course, SnS will come back anyway.


You should keep secrets like that under spoilers, dude. You'll screw up the suspense.

It's not exactly a spoiler. You can't really spoil a filler, because nobody knows what exactly is going to happen, it's not like you can read it in the manga. It's just speculation.

Such mystery surrounding Byakuya's motives, albeit a bit cliche, still makes out for a hell of good animated fights, I must say!!

The episode was really good, much better than last weeks dragged out one, it seems that this filler is far from its climax, although the story has some real coherence to it which is very sporadic in previous Bleach fillers, this is the best one by far, they finally realise if effort is put into a filler the canon can wait!!

O_O This is intriguing. Ans I loooove intriguing *_*


No way, Byakuya couldn't have killed Sode no Shirayuki, I mean, weren't zanpaktuos supposed to recover using their master's spiritual pressure even if they're broken? I think they said that in the series in the Seireitei Arc.

But damn this filler is what I was longing to see for a long time: MORE OF BYAKUYA *_*!! I'm a bit disappointed that they "killed" Rukia's zanpaktuo so I won't see much of her fighting, I guess that would have really been my dream come true ^^ and therefore too much to ask.

Awesome fights as always. The thing is that everybody is used to that high-quality main plot, I get it, but that doesn't mean you can't like the fillers too. Well I know I do ^^.

to byayuka:
how could you be so heartless, how could you be so heartless
How could you be so,
Cold as the winter wind when it breeze yo
Just remember that you talking to me yo
You need to watch the way you talking to me you know
I mean after all the things that we been through
I mean after all the things we got into
And yo I know of some things that you ain't told me
And yo I did some things but that's the old me
And now you wanna get me back
And you gon' show me
So you walk around like you don't know me
You got a new friend
Well I got homies
But in the end it's still so lonely

great episode due to stellar fights, the sequences were more creative with a variation of kidou and sword attacks. Renji's fight scene was better than usual, and I loved how Zabimaru popped in and took the fight to another level. They're really cool and i like how they got sebonzakura to follow them to a smaller space. I really like their alternate form and their personality and style. Byakyua's fight with Renji was stellar. This was a really good episode. I wish byakyua would reveal a better reason behind his pseudo-betrayal, than his damn pride. Can't wait to see the other zanpaktou's fights with their shinigamni, and i want to see wabiskue's personality. Oh and the end with Isane and Hyonrimaru was so cute, he's so worried about toshiro. very funny.
