And with this episode, the filler arc draws to a close. More or less, anyhow. I was kinda thinking that the only option was for Ichigo to unleash the Final Getsugatensho again, but it's nice that Studio Pierrot kept on surprising me.

Yes it's finally over. Filler arc draws to a close nice bittersweet ending. That preview was funny Ichigo taking advantage of what power he has left and just doing bankai over and over again haha. The omake wasn't as funny as others ='[ 1 more episode till the start of the new season can't wait =D

It seems they were really saving their budget for this episode. It looked fantastic, I forgot Bleach could look this good. The ending was bittersweet of course, since it's a filler they needed to get rid of Nozumi.

Then again, they're still some bits from past fillers, like the metal Bount and the three mod souls from the Bount arc. I wonder whether they're just going to be forgotten now, they haven't been in it for a couple of years, but everything was going on in Hueco Mundo and above the fake town so they had an excuse not to have them in, but now it's going to be set back in Karakura Town, they've either got to have them return to the screen, give a reason why they won't be on the screen again, or they'll just ignore it, and hope that no-one notices the inconsistency. I don't care much to be honest.

Oh yeh, it was a good episode though.

Overall, I enjoyed the episode. Sad to see Nozomi go. But it's not like I wasn't expecting it since it's fillers :(

To be honest, I personally would never have any problem with leaving some filler characters alive.

I mean, it isn't manga, even if it is its adaptation, not to mention there are some other titles where there are anime-only characters who never appear in source material.

If it was me, I would ask manga author to personally make character designs as well as some background such as personalities, and leave it to animators to do the rest and come up with something on their own.

Also, anime-only characters having cameo in manga wouldn't be bad either.

Though it was a filler this episode was awesome! The battle was actually a battle, the music was perfect and isn't is just my imagination or are the drawings a bit better than in the episodes before?

And yeah, they could keep some of the filler charas, they put that white-haired Boss-Bount (forget his name) in the actual plot when Ichigo tries to achieve Bankai, so why not adding some more?

I honestly didn't mind this filler arc. And the last fight scene was awesome. The point blank super nuclear hollow Ex Alpha 3rd Strike Arcade Edition Getsuga Tenshou was one of the best Getsugas out there. The POV angles and the overview of the explosion really made it epic. and the last little skirmish was well choreographed and the quality of art made it a really good scene. I reminded me of the fight between Baykuya and His late ancestor during the Zanpaktou arc, which was also well choreographed and had good quality for a filler arc.

Alot of you manga readers knopw what arc is coming, but since I don't know I'm quite excited!

bankai,bankai,bankai,bankai,bankai,bankai...:P

Also I have a question for you Manga readers since this is a filler arc, does that mean Ichigo doesn't keep his Spiritual Pressure? Is it just going to act like it never happened?

Yeah, it was sad that Nozomi got killed off. The other Mod Souls from the Bount arc got to live and even showed up in the Arrancar arc, why not Kon's girlfriend? I love how they actually had something of a romance going, as much as a half a psychopath's soul can romance a talking stuffed animal.

Animation was fucking AWESOME and over the top. Amazing fight, and one of the best Getsuga Tensho's I've ever seen. I figured he'd be doing another Mugetsu, but they managed to work around that one.

Considering no less than three nuclear-sized explosions occured this episode, I was expecting Soul Society to look a LOT more fucked up than it was in the slow pan-out... I figured the palace in particular would be scorched to a crisp since it's right next to Sogyokyu Hill.

I guess next episode Ichigo'll say 'goodbye' to Rukia, and lose his Shinigami powers once again. Then you anime-only watchers will get to see something ... interesting, to say the least. :)

I had to LOL at Ichigo going BANKAI! BANKAIBANKAIBANKAIBANKAI! Getting it out of his system, LOL. Made up for a more serious Shinigami Cup than usual.

2. Best Getsuga Tenshou EVER!
3. Did they change the art style for the next Arc?
4. Like everyone else. I loved the "Bankai x10" at the end. LOL, it made my day.

The overall arc was one of the better ones, though i hate the main antagonists always being like "i have a plan b for my plan b for my plan b even though i won't need it because i am invincible". And Ichigo did it again, just attacking long enough until it does miraculously work.

Bleach only has two endings for such fights: Either like this, or Ichigo gets a new transformation.

Even with this, there is a big difference in execution though. Ichigo coming back in his final fight against Grimmjow and stopping him lazily with one hand, only to slash him bad was kinda cool, him caring so much for Orihime that her being really worried is enough to power him more up then going to bankai.

And when he went full hollow against Ulquiorra it was quite a surprise, and it was cool because Ulquiorra was also the type who not even in his wildest dreams could imagine that Ichigo could win, so he was really like "wtf". Same with Aizen, even going so far as grabbing him by his face to move him somewhere else, and Ichigo did not even finish the fight, without Urahara Aizen would have won (which is an exception to the "rule" above, but the exception proves the rule).

Ichigo coming back and back and back and back without any real incentive..especially after the regai where gone, the captains could have taken over the fight. He was not even in bankai anymore, so it's not like no one else coud have done it. They also could have just stopped after Nozomi made Kageroza stab himself, but no, Ichigo has to be the done who finishes the main antagonist, woe betide if someone else does it, the universe would collapse!

Really hoped (though i would have been surprised if the had done it) they would give this one to someone else. As it's a filler and not the main arc, it would not even spoil his record, as these things (more or less) never happened!

And Soul Society really has some nice predetermined breaking points. It's always the same stuff that gets damaged when everything explodes. The towers, this one tip of Sōkyoku hill..wonder which squad is responsible for repairing it? Probably Squad 10, Hitsugaya is the only captain that has to do that much paper work, probably bills.

The animation in this episode was top notch. Like movie good if you have seen the Bleach Movies. Like the movie version of the Ulquiorra fight. That kind of epic animation. Like when Ichigo cut Kageroza across the chest with Zangetsu. You could see the skin peeling back as the blade sliced him. PURE EPIC. This was a great way to end one of the good fillers. And the animation in the next episode looks AMAZING!!! Can't wait. 5/5 Fullbring users are next. BANKAI!!!!

Well the end of the arc is here. I think most of us are happy.
I presonally enjoyed that episde. Its was very good and that was a beautiful way to finish the arc - explosion, battle, sacrificeq friendship...
Kageroza (I mean the other guy I forgot his name again lol) finally understood why he couldnt defeat Ichigo. Nozomisaid everythink she wanted to and Kon managed to say goodbye to her.
I think at least the ending of the arc was prefect.
Now more interesting parts to come.
I cant wait to see the next episodes.

that was AWESOME!

this is the first bleach episode that i will discuss, probably the last too...

ichigo is back baby and his bankai is as strong as ever, same with his hollowfication..

cool moments: his first hollow getsuuga through rukia's ice; the way he held down kageroza like a BOSS (sorry i just had to); the freaking, overkill, was so strong it went behind him before he shot it, getsuuga tenshou right after; ichigo breaking kageroza's sword with his shikai; proper kageroza ragemode, he tried to stab ichigo with his broken sword;

anyways yea

This episode had one of the nicest animations, with the giant energy gate, ichigo's nuke getsuga tensho, and the ice pillars breaking up while the fight perspectives kept changing. It was really movie quality right there, I'm already glad I decided to follow this filler arc all the way though already. =D

The story came to a sadder, but more meaningful end since Nozomi is gone. I would hate to see her being milked for fillers again and again if she kept hanging around.
