THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
I didn't expect Kazeshini to still be alive, i thought he died back then when Kenpachi showed up. Seeing that Ichigo and the others are coming to save Yamamoto with info. provided by Yoruichi, I'm starting to wonder what is Byakuya's real intention of betraying his side as they could have discover the location of the commander general without him doing that.

I was actually glad that Yoruichi didn't get stabbed by Tobiume and Haineko because that would be a surprised considering she is a former captain. It's good to see most of the zanpakutou showing up here especially Kyouraku's zanpakutou, I assume every captain here is going to have a piece of the action which is great :D Overall, i actually think this is a pretty good episode.

Loved watching the surprised looks when Yoruichi disappeared after seeming to get stabbed. Wondering what the deal was with that zanpakuto Ichigo was chasing and where it went after leading him to Yama-jii. Looking forward to finding you what Byakuya's real objective is if it wasn't freeing Yama-jii. Possibly has something to with discovering the true intent of Muramase's plan?

Gawd, I can't wait to see what happens! And i really wanna see who that hood guy is (probably Kenpachi's Zampakutou), he looks mysterious. I'm also interested in the zampakutou with two girls with violet hair ( I dun remember the name)

Ahhh, can't wait to see Captain commander released and in action. He's so badass C:

Katen Kyokotsu, Shunsui's Zanpakuto. This is the first time we see another one. One looks like pirate, while another is something like ninja.

I'm so glad we get to see Yoruichi fight cause god knows, Kubo forgot about her in the manga.

Speaking of which, Pierott is just teasing us now. Katen Kyokutsu saying the "games" are over....

so shinsui's zanpaktou is not only the lady but a loli too? didn't see that coming. plus ukitake's zanpaktou two little kids with destructo disks, nice.
plus the illustration at the end, soifon is really obsessed

Bad episode. Nothing happened, and though I already thought Kazeshini was dead, they brought him back to get rid of him. But we get to see Ukitake, Genryusai, and Kyouraku, so that's good.

Well this episode was rather bland to say the least, nothing really happened at all. But at least they set up a few good battles for the next episode, I'm most interested in Kyouraku's battle with his zanpakutou.

Hope we just get to the main stuff already and get over this looooong fiiller arc -__-"

tho, next ep might be interesting if Ukitake and Kyouraku r gonna fight seriously >>> meh, that's prolly not gonna ever happen -__-

Kazeshini had a breakdown and Ichigo got all worked up over Byakuya? What the hell? Since when has Ichigo ever even CARED about Byakuya? At least the set-up battles look nice.

Lol in the ending, Shinsui is a pimp and Soi Fon is a lesbian.

Can anyone really tell that Kazeshini is injured? I mean, besides him collapsing as he did I can't really see anything wrong with him - he's not even bleeding! Then again, it could be his black&red body...
"There's no point discussing strategy when he's around." - rotfl
The hell? Bleeding after-image?! Sure she's fast, but come on!
Stupid cave... Like they need those spikes anyway - They can walk on AIR ffs!!
Omg idiot Kazeshini - instead of cutting him up when he was in his "whirlwind" form he morphed into a chain and THEN after talking with Ichigo he morphs his hand into a weapon. Seems like he came back only to get one-hit-ko'ed by a getsuuga.
How come the barrier still stands even if all three (five) of the zanpakutou are away? If it was self-sustaining they could have fought from the beginning of the arc instead of standing there like idiots, couldn't they?

Can you really say that Minazuki is a guy? I've always considered her as a girl. I can't really imagine that a guy would turn into a giant people-swallowing manta ray with healing saliva... Isn't she like "a bit" OOC for an image of Unohana's soul anyway?

I don't know what the hell gender it is >.<

And it's definitely her's as confirmed by magazines before the filler arc came out. In fact, they revealed pretty much everybody except the younger Katen Kyokotsu revealed today

It's another filler episode and it gets slower and slower as time passes.

There was a moment in this episode that 2 seconds passed with nothing else than a few trees and a rock showing. No movement, no voices, no music... WTH is that!

Anyway, still looking forward for the fillers a to end, and the story to continue TILL THE END! I want Bleach to finish right after where the manga is, I don't want it turning into an Inuyasha... The bad guy always ends up escaping, delaying his final hour for 50 more chapters, which is done... (558/50) around 11 times.

The story is decaying and the filler episodes make the anime almost unbearable to watch due to its slowness. I reckon that soon there'll be more filler episodes than the actual story...

I also don't really get that (yeah for another plot hole). I also wonder why Yourichi stayed behind, it's not like she going to have a hard time defeating Tobiume and Haineko (those two are so annoying, I hope she defeats them for good).

OH! I just noticed something else in this episode that really stabbed at my backside...

When Ichigo is talking with Yoruichi while they are jumping, the movements are basically the same as in Naruto... and then, Ichigo falls...

But how many times have we seen him slide through the air, managing to stop after being punched by "friction" with the air, or simply standing in mid-air!!!?? And NOW he FALLS!! WTH is wrong with Bleach now!

I think they can't fly in soul society. In the soul society arc Ichigo had to use some device that Yoruichi gave him to be able to fly.

Bleach, along with everything else, departs from whatever physics it has solely for the purposes of humor whenever the hell it wants.

I have been thoroughly enjoying these episodes. The pace is quite nice, animation always feels appropriate for the section involved and the plot looks to be interesting. Even if they botch whatever setup they've given us so far, an excuse to watch a string of nice fights is fine for a filler.

I just want to know how Ichigio knew who Kazeshini was, even though he never saw Hisagi release his zanpaktou. WHEREAS, he had no idea who Hyourinmaru was, even after shooting him with like 18 ICE DRAGONS.

This was a good episode, I liked it. Expected Yamamoto to be strong enough to hold off all the other Zanpukto and Muramusa from taking his Zanpukto. Oh yes the captains will have some predicamental situation if they were to have to fight Ryujin Jakka. The most powerful Zanpukto in Soul Society. Man I really want to see the fight with Ukitake and Kyouraku fighting, that should be good.

Lol Ichigo had no problem beating Kazeshini as I initially thought they would drag out his fight, seeing as it is Bleach. Wondering what will happen next between Ichigo and Yamamoto. Anyone else catch Yoruichi saying Byakuya is doing for something good, I guess the means justifies the end with him eh? Looks like we have our story with Byakuya figured out without the arc even nearing the ending lol.

Not so fast-paced, but overall a good episode.
I absolutely love Kyouraku's zanpakutou, both of them are really beautiful.

I can't wait to see if they reveal Unohana's zanpakuto more, or they'll just leave the stupid cloak on =_=''
I too, am kinda suspicious that it could be male.... just a hunch though.
