Sand of all the things he could have used he used sand and of course Ishida would carry first aid.

That mention of Urahara Kisuke and THAT reaction... what a boss.

I forgot that Ichigo starts of at around high-end 3rd Seat level. Not bad for his first opponent, though I just find it ridiculously awesome how he's going to jump ranks soon lol.

It was nice to see Ikkaku and Yumechika's first appearances again too, they're pretty energetic, like always ^^.

Run GANJU run!

that. the past few where kind of slow, though important things happened. Glad there'll be some more action now.

the ganju vs yumichika fight is different in the manga. the pit scene is way better in the manga because ganju uses his wits to escape yumichika, not the cannonball spirit orb-thingy made by his sister. so beside making ganju look like a bitch, this was a solid episode that seamlessly blended action and humor. episodes like this are just classic bleach moments and make this series one of the best of all time. and ikkaku's lucky dance is golden.

OP weak, ED nice.
Fights are kinda lame, they are always just swinging swords and being silly.

One of my favorite & most memorable Bleach OPs. This part is when I really got hooked to it. Even over a decade later, I remember the whole exchange about blood in the eyes.

Formation! The Worst Tag is a good episode but all I can say is why doesn't he say the name of his Zampaktou while Ichigo is fighting Ikkaku.

The new opening and ending are really good! It's a bit weird that he mainly uses sand but it's still cool! Can't wait to see everyone fight against the high ranking soul reapers

Totally forgot about the new opening and ending starting in this episode. They are both really good I feel as nostalgic for the first opening I again do like the new opening. Oh my god the lucky dance was so hilarious and I'm now introduced to Ikkaku and Yumichika higher ranked captains of the Soul Reapers. Pretty good fight between Ichigo and Ikkaku and Ganju just running away in his fight. XD Plus he uses sand a lot which I guess can work in battle. Really good episode I must say.
