----------------------------------------
So Ichigo regains his Bankai, it's always cool when he goes to talk with Zangetsu. There were some inspirational moments in this episode, and it was good to see Kariya finally having a battle on his hands.

Ishida is a bit of a dozy twonk though for letting the Bounto get into the Soul Society like that! :P

The good news is that it's going to be a giant battle royale to end this arc!

4/5

As if ur the only person to write in this disscussion with the length of time its been up, guess ill have to as well then.

I do agree with ya, talking with Zangetsu is always good, Ishida was a bit stupid but what would ya expect from him. (the story wouldnt be as good if they had all died there anyway)

Battle royale at the end eh, I guess u could call it that.

Awesome episode and I was wrong about seeing Hollow Ichigo before we saw Bankai. Can't wait to see what happens now.

Well... even though this is basically all a filler arc, I must admit I'm quite enthralled. >.<

Ishida is a naughty boy.
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~

Nice to see Ichigo has regained Bankai, as others have said the Zangetsu bits are always cool xD

I like how Ishida has been kept as a character who sometimes does weird things like this, similar to the hollow race in the first arc. This part of the filler has been ok, bits could have been cut out but i think the introduction of Soul Society in again is a guarenteed winner xD

And I can't wait to get my hands on the next season to witness such an awesome battle! I love seeing all the soul reapers and ichigo and company fighting together as a team. It is epicness to the max!

that's a ridiculous and stupid reason to get them to the soul society... but well at least the captains are there... those Bounts will get their ass kicked

Ichigo's bankai again, funny that his is an actual person not some weird monster or something like the others.

Kariya is still badass.

I can't believe Uryuu got his powers back and then used them to let the bounts in to the soul society thinking it'd be easier to defeat them there but the bounts also get stronger there so, how will they win? the bounts have been stronger all along.

I don't think this arc is pointless, I think it's awesome.

Why do they have to go back to the soul society? it better not be dozens of episodes of aimlessly running around again like last time. That bored me to tears!

I really love the way the whole thing escalated. It was fairly obvious that the Quincy would be the key to all this still they managed to flesh out Ishida's character pretty well. I also like the soul society thing a lot so hopefully the next season is going to be interesting (albeit a little too much ''dragonball'' but who knows?)

mh.... this episode felt so forced and shallow _xD
like; there is not enough reason for the things happening, to happen the way they do.

i suppose the buildup to certain things in this filler is either too rushed or nonexistent,
i'm also a bit iffed by how in this filler arc; Ichigo is sometimes pretty clever, but other times he's just dumb and slow-.... what's up with that?

Ishida's new look; not a fan. looks pretty lame, imo- as far as costume-design goes. ...mostly that black blotch over the crotch- wtf >_<'?

-considering the power levels of the captains vs. the people the Bounto fights in the cave-..... it doesn't feel like the fools would have much of a chance over in SS....


-and if Everything is made out of soul particles in soul society; how does those entities become like solid, actual objects composed of materials in the real world?
i could see things breaking down into soul particles, that's one way, but i'd imagine things going from SS to the real world would need some sort of mass to be able to be solid and stuff..?
I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them.

Ichigo finally gets his bankai back finally all it took was for him to remember how he got it the first time.  I though Uryu was supposed to be smartest of the group.  I believe it was stated that he had the top ranking in his class at school to think it was better to fight the Bounts in the soul society than the living world not sure how he came by that logic.
