Heres hoping Orihime opens a can of whoop ass.

Anyway, I liked this episode, apart from when Nel's bogies went allover Ichigo, that was a WTF moment for me...


no that was hilarious! XD oh nel! u gotta love her

That was... strange or lame. I don't really like that kind of "humour" and I don't know how many do either.

Liked the episode: everything exept for renji scene's, he's turning out to be a discrace. He used 2 be so cool in SS arc :/

Imagine he can't use his Bankai against an Espada in that situation... he couldn't do better, and he sure tried, we gotta give him that. But bankai means increasing his own abilities, as well as the sword's, so it's understandable. Btw, I don't really like Renji either :P

Are you denying the fact that the episodes before Ulquiorra were slow? =p

Are you denying the fact that Ishida's battle, as well as Ichigo's with the horn-guy, and even Chad's, weren't at least interesting? The lamest was Rukia's, but then again, it wasn't such a surprise either :P

I had totally forgotten that Ulquiorra's number is not revealed until this point. I knew way before reading the Manga, so I wasn't amazed by that. =/

Its been a long time since I was impressed by a Bleach episode. the studio did a marvelous job in animating the "fight" between Ichigo and Ulquiorra. they didn't drag it out like the previous ones.

You got a point, i think bleach characters need more stragedy, like Ishida. Whenever they're weaker they just seem to pointlesly attack the enemy without a plan.

Now, this was some episode for me, probably because of Ulquiorra (the part with showing his espada number, mmmm! and scary too o_O) xD Quite short recap at the beginning, big plus. Gladly voted 'loved it' after few eps of big disappointments ;D

Now, I would like to see some of chars die, don't get me wrong I don't hate any, but it is kinda strange that it is always too hard to give finishing blow, when someone is lying unconscious. It's obvious that Ichigo won't die nor Rukia but someone else ... Oh, and yeh, I know that it's shounen :p

They have to seriously power up if they want do something, maybe some reinforcements from SS or that guys with hollow masks?

Och, and the bi*ch duo shall be punished!

Nel, as usual, was the best part of this episode.

I like how we get to watch all the main characters slowly get destroyed. There's something about an invincible, never-losing team that makes anime boring. The "good guys" have to lose some of the time, or else there's no point in watching.

And ironically, Ishida seems to be the 'strongest' of the group thus far...having been the only person to succeed at anything in this disasture-filled bust of a mission.

Who the hell thought it was a good idea to travel to the enemy's main base, when your superiors (the captains) can't defeat a single espada on earth? Obviously our main characters weren't thinking...at all.

Yes....i agree! Making the good guys loose is good somtime, but i think ichigo's lost 2 mutch. Yami / grimmjow 2x / Ulquiorra / and a hard fight against that privaron guy!!!
He rly needs 2 step up.

And i wonder why byakuya didn't stop Rukia and Renji. We're talkin about espada' and Aizen!!!

I think this is episode is the best so far in the arrancar arc.
Im actually looking forward the next ep.
bleach is getting better and better and I hope it keeps going like that, while naruto shippuuden is getting worse.
with this episode, now I think: bleach > naruto shippuuden
what I think will happen/ want to happen in the the next episode:
1. nel will heal ichigo (I think)
2. when inoue realizes that ichigo is not dead, she will kick their asses (I hope <333)
3. and ulqui is going to see that^

as for renji & ishida's fight, Im not really into it.

anyway, I do hope inoue will do something instead of being rescue =333

I agree, why would they think that they would win against the espada when they couldn't do any major damage on earth?

As for Ishida, I think that it is ironic that he used to hate the shinigami and now here he is the one who exeling in the battle fighting along side with them.

I thought this episode was pretty good, it went at a decent pace and it left you wondering what will happen to Ichigo, Rukia and Sado. Then there is Grimmjow..

First and foremost, LMFAO at Orihime getting bullied by those 2 Arrancar. They look sexier when they're bullying Orihime some reason... ^^ Though I do feel a little bad for her, it was just too amusing to watch.

Ichigo vs Ulquiorra was flashy. Too bad Ulquiorra just wiped the floor with him though. Scary to see that he's just #4. Speaks a lot about the first 3.

Ishida! That epic heroic entrance! Show the other Megane who the more powerful Megane is!

Also, I caught a glimpse of Grimmjow in the preview. FINALLY.

Ulquiorra vs Ichigo was awesome. But damn Ulquiorra is that powerful even in his base form. Anyways it was nice to get an action scene with Ulquiorra since he is my favorite Espada and by far my favorite in the show.

Looks like the two bitches are bullying Orihime. I actually felt sorry for her. I hope someone puts those 2 bitches in their place.

If Ichigo can't defeat Ulquiorra he'll never defeat the others.

I can't believe he punched his fist in to Ichigo, ouch.

The pink haired one is too good for Renji too and he's like #8.

Uryuu came to his rescue though in the end.

Those girls were mean to Orihime, don't stamp on a persons head!

good liked to see episode in second time.
In the first and second time percept power and strong of ulquiorra.
The ichigo emotions are very intense and sincere in this episode.
Ulquiorra make a sucess to create a fear or intimidate ichigo.
Despite of reactions of loly and menoly,Inoue orihime didn't rage about/anger them. I don't have rage anger them because understand your situation.
Remember the apparison/appears Uryu so make happy in final of this episode. Because a good surprise for abarai.
Good for development of plot and battle Uryu and Abarai vs Szayel.

Rewatching the series.
Looking for opinions on what exactly the significance of the following is: when Ichigo falls down face first with a hole in his chest, his red/black energy seems to leave him a bit... But why does the same color energy seem to leave Inoue as well??!?! At the moment of Ichigo's "death" we discover that some of his power has been kept by Inoue? Protecting her? Need theories here everyone...

Ishida being the smartest and the best in their group so far. He ain't so powerful but he's been defeating the shinigami captains and hollow elites on his own. And didn't even get a scratch. But of course, he brings all the equipments and use them as much as a ninja does tho :D

A little bit shocking to learn Ulquiorra isn't the number 1 Espada… but not at all shocking that Ichigo couldn't beat him on the first try.

Looks like Ishida arrives just in time to help bail Renji out... so is the pink-haired Grantz Hueco Mundo's version of Mayuri? Hmm...

And what's up with the jealous girls beating up Orihime? I hope she fights back.

That Shinigami Golden was... wild and unexpected. "Shall I take off the bottom?"

I was thinking this too! Renji and Ichigo just kinda dive head first into their fights and use their power to their advantage... but in every fight we've seen with Ishida, he's always analyzing his opponents to find their weaknesses. He strategizes, and I think that's why he's been winning.
