Brilliant, brilliant episode! No idea how this is going to end, the fights were particularly great especially the absolutely mental Capt Kenpachi.

All I can say is Byakuya is badass...Kenpachi is badass...I hate the justice guy Tousen from 9th squad (a little too dramatic with the defeating evils of the world)...fox-face has a tight bankai...and even though Renji lost the battle...he is badass too lol. Great episode...

oh...and I still hate Ichigo lol...

52-53 was awesome. I was so afraid for Renji. "Don't kill him Byakuya!" D:

One of the best combat & fighting episodes so far imo. Kenpachi is quickly becoming my idol.

LOLLLLLLLLL in Kenpachi's mind:
Yachiru: You should slash on instict!
Ken: I'm doing that already!
.......
Ikkaku: I think ya prob'ly gotta do that thing, ya know, see with your mind's eye as they say!
Ken: If I could see with that, I wouldn't be having problems.
......
Yumichika: If it was me, well let's see.. I'd give up, beautifully.
Ken: DIE!

LOOL. <3

Ah i liked this long episode, a nice length with just enough action and plot in. xD

The fights were pretty cool, the justice guy got a bit old so i was kinda hoping he'd be killed by kenpachi. I had some ideas for the mask guy but a fox wasn't one of them, need to watch the next ep! ^^

A Fox didn't expect that but the fight with Kenpachi is going to be interesting and Ichigo needs to hurry up or Rukia is going to die.

What a fine troll Gin is.

Kenpachi and the two captains were cool but it seemed like they blew the budget on 52 since there were a lot of stillshots...

Right? I can't get the hate of the community against him.. He's the best character in Bleach in my opinion.

For some reason I couldn't see the Tousen vs. Kenpachi fight as the best one to now. If any, it would probably be Ichigo vs. Kenpachi or Uryuu vs. Kurotsuchi.

Kenpachi is a bad ass. I can't believe he's so damn strong without Bankai. If Kenpachi had bankai he would destroy the world.

5/5 for Kenpachi's awesomeness

-_- Ichigo's training dragging out just a bit too long OTL
Although inevitable, I wanted Renji to win, lol.
And yay! Kenpachi! The conversation in his head (escially with "pretty" guy) was hilarious :'D

Gin is such a savage :D

And damn, Ken-chan kicks ass. So far these two are my favorite captains along with Shunsui.

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron

Yes sure okay. Swing swong the swords. Bleed blod the blood. Kenny is not actually all that interesting for me.
Hanataro is like the only thing that keeps me interested at this point. I hope this arc ends soon or that something interesting (in my opinion) actually happens before this arc is over. At least Rukia's actually outside. Finally as of the end of last episode.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria

Gin and Kenpachi are definitely my favorite characters in Bleach; this episode they pulled some really fucking awesome shit, especially Gin; holy fuck, that was a real psychological assault! That said, I really don't like all this Bankai bullshit.. I'd like it way more if they kept it raw! Just brutal sword fighting to the death; just like when Kenpachi fought Ichigo.

I know I should hate Ichimaru, but man...he's made an art form out of psychological torture. The way Rukia remembered his presence as a snake was chilling and it's no coincidence that Soul Society reminds me a bit of the Chunin Exams in Naruto.

I completely forgot about the captains fight with Kenpachi. He's an absolute madman and his savage lust for battle makes him even cooler. It's interesting to catch a glimpse into Tosen's past & sense of justice. It's helping to remind me of some later events & the motives behind them.
