Looks like the battles are finally getting heated up. Mashiro superkick was perfect.

Good episode, but I have to say I'm slightly disappointed in what appears to be the strength of the vaizards...

Apparently, they're teaming up with the captains to defeat the espada - which can only mean one of two things:

1. A vaizard, in most cases a captain with a hollowfication boost, still cannot take on one of the top three espada one on one.

or

2. They're simply allowing the captains to fight alongside them to allow them to regain some of their dignity and spare them the humiliation of utter defeat.

Although option two isn't all that bad (although unlikely), I'm not sure I like the fact that a team of two or three, including vaizards and captains, is necessary to defeat each espada. It sort of feels as though the captains and vaizards are weaker than I'd like them to be (or weaker than I was lead to believe throughout their existence); or perhaps the espada are stronger than I'd like them to be (or stronger than I was lead to believe).

Meh, all the power''levels'' in this anime are screwed up anyways ._. And lol loving the little scenes at the end of the ep.

But yea they should be like, twice as strong as the captains already here..Seeing as they lived longer, and they are hollows (You can see the power of ichigo in his form)

But that prob won't happen at all ya know. But good ep, I liked it. And 3vs tousen doesn't really seem like a good 1vs1 revenge match between fox and him lol. But w/e.

Wow, some people...

They put three whole manga chapters into the ep, which is more than the two they had been doing.

Overall a very epic episode, though the TBtP flashback (again) was somewhat frustrating.

I miss times when we had a Japanese attack explained near the top in English - it's always amusing to see the translation of 88th hadou and wonder who the hell thought that up. Also, it's extremely annoying to have names and surnames inverted in subtitles. I understand that in Japan they say them backwards, but there is no reason to reorganise them in subs.

How was it possible that Lisa's panties weren't shown (assuming she's not going commando) when she stomped Kyouraku? Almost 90 degrees vertical shot from below her skirt and not even a glimpse? If you want to include scenes like that, do it right!

I loved how most of it was just talking, talking, and more talking. When they do start fighting, it was just a few explosions(don't know where that came from) and done.

When a hollow dies doesn't it just disappear? When do they start exploding?

Hell yeah. She is so cute. Moment just before MSK was very funny.

Lisa conversation and "fight" with Kyouraku was very funny also and suit him :D

All vaizard's fight was very entertaining.

Menos grande's decapitation was ... wow

Without recap this episode would be excellent

the vizards are not weak, did you notice this whole episode they only used thier hallow powers (except for the fat dude) i didnt see any one release their zampaktou nor did any perivous captian release thier bankai and use hollowfication like ichigo does so i think what we saw today isnt the full extent of thier strenght.

on another note .... i was just wondering, other than the vizards the only people who saw ichigo using his hollow powers are orihime,ishida and ne,l right?

ugg ugg... I'm not very pleased with the quality of the recent episodes.... When they replay older episodes, you can totally see the difference in quality... I wish they could keep the animation that they used in the "turn back the pendulum"-arc because that was EPIC.
(But the animation improved a bit in the second half of the ep.)
Nice episode anyways !

Good episode 4/5. It wasn't a perfect episode, but it was good. The Menos fights were cool and the Super Kick was awesome. Looks like the 3 espada still aren't out of the game and the 3 defected captains might start to fight soon.

Can't wait until next episode.

This episode was a waste.

The first part was the same flash back we already saw two times before, that's a stupid way to recycle animation.

Comedy is not even funny. Why the hell are they even trying to be funny when they are fighting aizen for crying out loud.

I can't believe this show can get even more crappy from this point...
