I enjoyed this episode quite a lot... The fighting was cool, but Rangiku's shikai was revealed and it's pretty crap... like Byakuya's but worse... The fish was cool though, and i'm thinking a battle between that and Unohana-taichou's bankai would be awesome even though it's a healing manta ray :P

Love the seiyuu of Nova.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~

Wasn't Rangiku's shikai shown when she fought Kira near the end of the Soul Society arc?
Rangiku made this episode easily though xD
Although Inoue and Chad's abilities are good, they seem limited ...

All Im thinking is Nova actually spoke more than a word in this episode and his powers are cool

Nova talked a lot in this episode that's why I noticed! he's voiced by Tomokazu Sugita, the voice of Gin-san! hahaha damn. I've been marathoning Gintama and Bleach so I'm fairly familiar with his voice

Yeah cool fighting. Sounded like Chad was voiced by someone else in the dub but it only mentions one person on here doing his voice in English, unless he had a cold lol. I didn't think his voice sounded the same.

Killer whale!

I hope Noba is okay.

Easily one of the best fights of the whole anime so far. At last we see Matsumoto a little more. Female characters are so above the rest of the big shonen series, especially one piece where the all look exactly the same. Too bad there is no manga that follows that particular arc, I would read this with great pleasure.

Chad sounded terrible in this episode, like, so bad it's funny type terrible.
It's a shame rangiku's shikai is so limited. It would be able to do some pretty cool stuff if it was more than just a swords worth of dust, but as is it's just senbonsakura lite

One of the better filler ep so far.
Nice change of pace of having more teamwork oriented fights instead of the usual 1v1 fights we seen so far in Bleach. The nice thing about this filler is the non-ichigo characters getting some more screen time and a larger role in some fights.

....admittedly; Nova is the only reason i'm watching the fillers .w.

love his guts <3
Sado might have been the strong, silent type since the first episodes, but Nova's got the looks in addition to that-.... that is... we get to see everything except for his face- at least his chest -w-

couldn't help but giggle at Rangiku ending up with the entire group of strong silent type of characters, lawl.
"No problem" <--pshhh... you guys..
I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them.

Did not expect Ururu to sacrifice herself like I expected that from Chad.  If it had to be anyone makes sense it was her she has no powers just a strong kick and that gun she carries sometimes.  I sometimes forgot that Noba is not a mute guess selective mutism is more accurate snice he spoke more in this episode than any others.
