The animation team really brought it to life, so much better than it was portrayed in the manga. It was epic :)
One more episode of this arc!
Kind of feel bad for aizen.

That was just. Ergh. So damn good.

Honestly I was so looking forward to seeing that bit from the manga make it's way into animation and I wasn't let down at all, when the energy cleared and Ichigo was revealed in his Getsuga form, I was literally blown away, and then following it up with that eerily silent Mugetsu.

Personally I'm now beginning to brace myself for an ass-ton of filler though cause they've caught up way too much with the manga

that was pretty awesome... its sad that the battle was so short tho, kind of anticlimactic if u think about how much ichigo had to go thru to get this far. xd

They have been tracking Aizen for (literally) years (on our end anyway), and Ichigo beats him in 2 eps?!?!?!?!?! What a waste of one of the most anticipated fights of all time. Ichigo losing his powers is another reason to be disgusting with this turn of events. It's not like I hated these long 7 years of Bleach, but this is not the way to end it all. This is one of the "Holy Trinity of Anime" for a reason after all.

the animation team really went above and beyond for the best two eps. I thought the final fight was pretty lame in the manga, but these might be the best back to back eps ever in Bleach. Outstanding animation, music, and VA for Aizen. Wish the fight was a bit longer, but that fault lies with Kubo, nothing the animation can do and what was there was amazing.

I was hoping that the anime would ass more "filler"to the GT scene. Let us see some cool flashy moves from SSJ4 Ichigo. OH well it was to fast pace but Alas the fillers are coming. Get ready for the worse. I cccan already hear the whining

It may not have been a flashy ending but it was an ending I can feel content with. The FGT looked awesome, there is just no other way to describe it. The sealing was also done very nicely. I wouldn't mind fillers but I can understand if a hiatus happens.

For once in about 4 or 5 months, this episode of ''Bleach'' was actually good! Thank god they got through with Aizen in a reasonable amount of time. I thought Aizen would have 7 different types of evolution, or something ridiculous. All I want to ask now is are we wrapping up ''Bleach'' for good? If we are, yahoo! If not, oh god. I honestly think I know what to expect, but if you're really going to try and pull it off with another series, do a better job, please! For the sake of poor anime goers who actually watch, and enjoy this anime to the fullest. Looking forward to the next!

I honestly didn't remember the manga being half as epic as this. Actually I totally disliked this fight in the manga but it worked for me in the anime. The music was great, the animation good and Hayami Show ABSOLUTELY ROCKED. That guy can make about anything sound awesome.

Anyway, next week it's goodbye to Rukia and after that the timeskip with either boring fillers or nothing. And after that it's boring and stupid training with boring and stupid new characters. Can't say I'm looking forward to it...

Great episode, but the fight was pretty short. The whole series (well, main arc respectively) ending on a fight lasting only 1 and a half episodes? Meh. I was hoping for a back and forth even battle.

Great animation though!

i was spoiled about ichigo using final getsuga to beat aizen...but the true form of it really surprise me o.O
i was on a chill the whole ep!!
though accepting the zangetsu's blade to learn final getsuga is pretty cheap imo hehe

anyway...great ep indeed..even better that the last one haha
5/5!!

This episode and the previous one were by far the best battles Bleach has offered in a very very VERY long time.
I can't tell you how I felt when Ichigo finally showed up...I literally couldn't stop screaming from the sheer awesomeness. And in 309... haven't felt like this for an anime in a very long time. Perfection. The reason Bleach made me like it more from the other 2 mainstream shounens was the Ichigo vs Byakuya battle on the first place. That last battle though was I must say even better and surely, I have never seen such an epic battle as this one.
I can't say what will come next,though I'm positive Kubo-sensei will keep us affixed with something very good. I mean, I now know Bleach wasn't a one-shot thing. If he can do such epic scenes, he can do some better ones. I'll be waiting as if there is no tomorrow :D

- Aizen is still (as of this episode) alive, just sealed. Frankly i woul dnot be surprised if ichigo had to break him out of the seal himself, for him to tag-team soul king. Aizen just fits as some sort of tragic hero who tried to change things by himself, but lost his way in process. A heroic sacriffice against enemy fits him now that his ego has been shattered by both Ichigo(the strength rival)

hmm looked to me like ichigo was almost owned by aizen and the only reason he's still alive is because urahara saved him...

amazing ep! :))
so that's how isshin lost his powers?
if isshin got his power back, does that mean ichigo can get his powers back too? hope so... >.<

may i just say, aizen's just so...annoying... :/
but urahara just had to come and save the day, huh? hooray! hope aizen's finished for good... but after this, what happens next? :( many people who read the manga says it's great...i'll just be here, patiently waiting for those great happenings to get animated.. :P

ichigo's just so cool...but it only lasted 2 eps..aww.

Ichigo overkilled aizen to the point where Hogyoku said "f u" to aizen. Aizen only survived due to the regen fusing with hogyoku gives. For all intents and purposes Ichigo annihilated aizen, strength wise. That required a very big power gap.

Ichigo:
- outclassed aizen in speed.
- defeated aizen's most prideful favourite kidou.
- injured aizen in the same way aizen likes to attack(speed followed by a straight slash)
- made aizen fear his power.
- returned the "stopping the blade with a hand" aizen did to him.
- made aizen acknowledge ichigo as superior (which basically destroyed what aizen wanted for at least a hundred years)
- Reduced aizen to practically nothing to the point where hogyoku no longer connected with him, even if still sharing regen powers (due to them being one soul)

Then came urahara:
- outsmarted aizen in a xanathos roulette, the way aizen usually would do.
- returned the "lets bring wonderweiss to cheat" stuff against aizen with his kidou.
- dismissed his goals.

Oh bu that works perfectly symbolically. Ever since his holow powers, Ichigo was fearing his own powers, accepting that stab without fear and with acceptance, was bassically Ichigo coming to accept his powers, stopping to fear what he has and unifying it.

I love the ridiculous opinion s and thoughts of bleach ending just because aizen was defeated (who even as it seems was not a final villain :) )

imaginary-beauty said:

I feel like we haven't heard the last of Aizen and it's probably going to be one more major arc in the manga after the current one is over and then Bleach should end because I mean what else is there to do? It'll just become repetitive and there's no reason for that.


Bleach manga is only halfway done and according to kubo will go on for at least 10 more years.

What more to do?

Soul King
Mayuri
and his findings
Ryuuken's plans,
Isshin's history with Ryuuken
Royal Guard
Zeroth Squad
whatever else gets introduced in manga.

My chief complaint is that I felt the fight was too short. I would have loved to see more techniques from Ichigo.

I still love how Aizen spiraled out of control into a blood lust for power.

Actually that should be revealed in the very next episode. Although it wasn't much of a reveal...

But one fact still stands: If it wasn't for Urahara planting that Kido inside Aizen, Ichigo would be dead meat since he failed to finish him off in time.

Can we assume Bleach is nearly finish? With Ichigo (main char) losing all its powers there's nothing else for him to partake in Soul Society.

Bleach ends or Uraha/Mayuri find a way to restore Ichigo's powers. XD

Kinda disapointed, i guess i expected too much. Hes transformation is badass and all. But whats with that final attack? Shouldnt it be something really cool? its meant to be hes last attack as a shinigami, yet all i saw was a black line on my screen.

ichigo vs byakuya is still the best.
