| finally it turns epic in a fight after like 14 mins of screaming "help me ichigo" |
 |
| it was better the first time around.. |
    |
| good episode. still wishing orihime died >.> |
| Second half - now thats an awesome episode . Props to art/animation. |
 |
| Hot damn, that was intense. I had forgotten about Ichigo's cero when he's transformed. Anyhow, I'm not at all disappointed, can't wait til next Tuesday. renji59 said: Ishida was supposed to LOSE that arm! Actually, yeah, I was wondering about that. I couldn't remember if it happened before or after the Ulquiorra fight. I guess it wouldn't make much sense if it happened afterward, though. |
 |
| Uliqiorra :: Oh Snap ! Ichigo really is giving off that "totally gone berserk" image. Here's to hoping we get a little dialog between Ichigo and his hollow as well. I also wonder how SS is going to react to Ichigo having the power of a full blown Vasto Lorde now, much more powerful than all but perhaps Captain Commander Yamamoto. Finally, having a huge hole in his chest I'm thinking Ichigo is well beyond the point of no return to being a normal human/ substitute shinigami. I don't think even Orihime's power could restore that, with his power being that of a hollow now anyways. |
We will never forget those that have fallen for our freedom! |
| KUROSAKI KUN fail episode =) well at least the ending was nice =)))) |
| Ishida owes me an arm. I absolutely loved the animation in this ep. The way they present the fight in slo-moishism really gives off an appearance of epicness and power. (yes i made up those words) When I read the manga I thought this fight was odd because "hichigo" (if that's even who is in control) isn't acting as "he" normally does, in a way this particular hollow form is more like the regular petty hollows than a vasto lorde or espada. I remember them talking about hollows at the begining of the series as a soul without it's heart and a manifestation of pure instincts. I really do miss those days when bleach was fun, somewhat naive, and the plot was less DragonBallZ-y (yes I made that up too) |
    |
| I personally felt the episode had everything in it. The only fault being Ishida's arm not getting seperated as it was in the manga.. The way ichigo transformed was good enough , but it did'nt make me jump out of my seat as it did in the manga.. The reason being, i had already read the manga and also watched that game preview in which ichigo was shown as a hollow. So i would'nt let my ratings down for this episode. I'll continue to give it a 5/5. But from the looks of the next episode, Im not impressed! Why that useless fight again!! duh. lolz @ orihime throughout the episode.. The music also suited the fightt.. *thumbs up* |
 fail censoring.. and orihime die already ruined the fucking episode for me |
| wow they censored this alot compared to the manga (i.e: Ishidas's injured arm when it should be Lack of 1 completely) still been waiting for this to be animated and woot finally it arrives. Hollow Ichigo = Bad ass |
  |
| it was just nice to not see the same thing over and over man i was getting tired as hell seeing them go threw dialog for 20 minutes then them screaming like they where ind dragonball or something |
| brb gotta change my pants. |
| Somebody give me a link to the manga where Ishida arm got ripped off! Please~ |
| It seems that everyone won't orihime to die. If she dies then all of the fighting/ severe injuries like two holes in your chest by the same person on two different occasions, having your organs crushed, and being left half-dead would be for nothing. Right. |
| It seems from now on , Bleach serious fights episodes will only take one or two episodes max and its finished , that was so short. and ulquiorra who is damn strong got his ass kicked in few minutes , he didn't even put on a fight , that was so weird imo :\ |
| Finally this fight getting over. Ishida's arm not getting ripped off was stupid, but the awesome animation kinda made up for that. But what's with all the crying about mercy? They're trying to take over the Human Realm and kill everybody in it. Why have mercy on someone who's trying to kill you? *sigh* |
| Great episode, anyone notice the sound effects for Shirosaki's cero and Ulquiorra's cero oscuras sound a lot more silent then the normal cero. I miss that sound effect, it was awesome. |
| I'm sick of Ichigo overpowering everyone with sudden emotional attacks. Secondly: Orihime should just lay down and die. And thirdly: One thing I found out in this anime is that in fights, people either fight equally or there is an enormous gap between the two sides and there's no middle. Not a very exciting way of illustrating fights. |
Fatentity said: For once, I call BS on Bleach. But I'm sure we've all been over this before. 8/10 > 7/10, and now cuz of this episode -> 6/10. Ulquiorra goes to level 2, is untouchable, such a power difference...then suddenly ichigo jumps that by two levels, rofl ! Such BS. Oh well, I understand that it was from him becoming more hollow-like or a hollow or w/e. Still....just too much overwhelming power. I don't mind "power" jumps/upgrades, but going from one person being untouchable, to the next untouchable, then suddenly someone else untouchable, etc, back and forth too quickly makes a show suck for me. /Godmode 1 (Activated). Still a kool episode I suppose. /rant over. My thoughts exactly... this episode was a load of BS, with instant power-up, but still incredibly fun to watch... Well minus Orihime's annoying moments. But now I wonder, if Bleach continues after this arc how are they going to continue this endless story because they'll need to make even more powerful opponents, which will render every other character useless in a fight (-_-)? |

| Legendary episode! At least they didn't screw up Ichigonators ssj2 hollow transformation! And they added a battle bonus that wasn't in the manga as well...I can't wait for the next one >:D |
 |
| 4/5 because of the Orihime screams. I hate her and her goddamn Kurosaki-kuns. The fight was truly epic though. I totally loved it in the manga and so in the anime. Gin in the end lol! |
| so cool!! *__* i wonder if he can from now on transform in this form and back freely? |
| I wonder how many times did Orihime say "Ichigo" in the last 5 episodes. |
 |
| OMG it was amazing i loved the way hollow ichigo did every thing that Ulquiorra did to him but to Ulquiorra instead like throwing him head first dragging him up the pillar awsome |
 |
| Jesus, am I the only one who actually likes Orihime? It is weren't for her Ichigo would be dead by now. |
| 5/5 Though the manga was better Wasabi said: It was about time his hollow side got an upgrade anyway. Sounds like Ichigo is a program... ArcticMech said: At the end of the episode, did anyone else feel the need to rank Ichigo and tattoo the number to his chest? LOL. I guess so... XD Ichigo 1.0 Shinigami. Ichigo 2.0 Bankai. Ichigo 3.0 Hollow masks appearing. Ichigo 3.1 Ichigo tamed his hollow Ichigo 4.0 Became a real hollow Hanabi_chan said: Jesus, am I the only one who actually likes Orihime? That makes two of us! What I can't understand is why Orihime isn't stronger. Everyone grew while being influenced by Ichigo's power, and Orihime somehow seems stuck where she started: Weak, good-for-nothing and for decoration-purposes only. It sucks. Tite Kubo should give her more action. Too bad the average supernatural/fantasy/action series can't have clifhangers 'cs you always know: They get miraciously somehow stronger, and the bad guys will be defeated. There is no tension anymore. Also, if you count the number of series where the protagonist must die in order to win and live, you'll get dizzy... Hey Lind L Tailor, does that mean I deserve a medal too? |

| Come and look around at the autism club or the Yakuza FC! |
| I liked those sound effects |
| dank meme |
| Fuck . This episode was epic. the fight scene was epic and the music was awesome orihime didn't have much lines in this but you can't deny that she is the reason Ichigo came back in his new mega awesome hollow form :) also .... this episode was epic ^_^ |

Hey Lind L Tailor, does that mean I deserve a medal too? Third, remeber who healed ichigo after being pwned by aizen. I wonder why kubo won't makes utilize her powers fully because she could be a force to be reckon with. Don't worry there is still Aizen and the former captain and other top three. |

| Am I the only one noticed that inoue's art is changed? She looks so much better, stronger, desperate and NOT annoying unlike what it was before. The fight was great but way way too too short. We have watched 3-4 episodes of just fighting between Ichigo and Grimmjow but this has ended rather fast. I wonder if hollow ichigo will talk or not. Epic. |

| Very excited for this fight, but I'm also dreading the next episode, for obvious reasons :( I could see it coming, but I was so gutted they didn't do Ishida's hand getting ripped off. In return, though, we did get to see his fight with Ulquiorra instead of him just stumbling into shot with a damaged/no hand, which was cool. Ulqui's "it's this hand..." was suitably creepy :D Ichigo's hollow was meh, but I'd already read it in the manga, so I think that the impact of it was somewhat lessened for me, so I just remember how I felt when I read that for the first time. *chills* |

| This episode was pure epicness.. |
 |
| The long awaited fight.. I LOVED IT! Ichigos new form was awesome. Grawwr.. :$ Even though the gap between his two forms was kind of ridiculous.. but he was still cool. And in the end.. Orihime couldn't say anything than "Kurosaki-kun, Kurosaki-kun [..] SAVE US!!!" She's so useless.. Sure, she awaked his powers, but that was just lame. ._. But I really enjoyed the fight, so 5/5 |

It is weren't for her Ichigo would be dead by now. No dear, no, you're not. And I know that, and you know that, and everyone knows that, but nobody seems to care or give her any sort of credit. Without her, Ichigo and his buddies would have been screwed many times over. |

| I love this episode. Last week I couldn't hold it anymore and started reading the manga. But still, it was awesome. |
| Pure and simply the best Bleach episode so far...Ever since I read that part in the manga I couldn't wait to see it on the anime! The preview for the next episode was kind of annoying though...oh well...the episode was well worth the time! 5/5 |

Like this very episode is sheer proof people ignore the fact that Orihime blocked one of Ulquiorra's attacks in his second resurrection form. As well as, Ichigo would have been killed twice by Ulquiorra. |
| Terrible episode. 1) Why are people talking about good animation? I didn't see anything praise-worthy. There were just a lot of quick, still images of Ichigo pressuring Ulquiorra, him slowly tipping his head down to blast a cero, and then then the cero explosion. Rinse. Repeat. I think people are blinded by the fact that Ichigo leveled up. 2) The level up was dumb. To be that strong is just absurd. 3) Orihime sucks. |
