| It was always clear for me that Tsukishima didn't turn Ishida, after all, Ishida was cut like one would expect, and the others were not, why make it so extremly different if it's supposed to be the same? Ergo, it was not the past altering strike, but a normal one. Doesn't change that Ishida literally tried to make Ichigo believe he turned, appearing suddenly, getting his bow ready, pokerface and sunglasses and only explaining when it's too late. I liked some of the fighting, like when Ichigo kicked Tsukishima when he taunted him, or that Ichigo attacked the moment Tsukishima was distracted (he looked away the scene before, unfortunately they did not really use this, and made him look back to Ichigo like nothing happend right when he started. Though his screaming didn't help keeping Tsukishima distracted i guess..). I wonder though, why are Chad and Inoue protecting Tsukishima? I mean, they never did for Ichigo. At least, they never managed. They always failed to do so, like Ishida did here. Especially Inoue. Her using her abilities was to be expected, but moving herself into the way of Ichigo's attack? She usually would stand rooted at some place until the fight was over. Anyways, looking forward for the Shinigami springing into action. They had enough time off screen now, and they hopefully also ofter a good explanation why they didn't do something earlier. Just because Fullbring isn't Hollow shouldn't mean they can ignore when someone is using such powers. Well, seeing they usually fail at hunting Hollows, too, and the messed up stuff regarding Hell and who's responsible etc. in the last movie, i wouldn't be surprise if they actually are reasoning like this and the rescue mission is either outright against the captain-commanders orders, or he's turning a blind eye because it's about Ichigo and/or in their "free" time. |
| Just caught up, great cliff hanger. Still slightly confused about Ginjo's true alliance, throughout the arc we saw his thoughts & actions that seemed good.. why would he think 'I have to save ichigo' (No ones reading his mind) On a side note: it really irritates me when characters are counter productive.. eg. Ishida not making his intentions clear at the start / Ichigo not giving his friends the idea that the bad guy can control memory's (Can they not even hear the bad guy talking??!) |

I hope not I love bleach and don't want it to end. Bleach manga is entering its final arc. However, we don't know how long the arc will last. It might last a few years like the arrancar arc. If so, expect lots of filler :P |

It was explained by Ginjo at the end of the episode. He had Tsukishima cut him once to make him believe he was really trying to help Ichigo, and after he got cut again, his original evil intended memories came back. |

Someguy832 said: Totally lol'd at Ginjo's troll face  Awesome episode, but didn't really get that last part. Was the recap longer than usual or is it just me? troll face?? more like rape face!! |
     |
| YES DAMN IT YES!!! Finally it comes full circle though I was still suprised by the truth. Crazy isn't it? The saying "Keep your friends close and your enemies closer" doesn't work for the better here... |
| I know what will happen at next episode but i can not wait anymore. I wonder about next scenes extremely.(This episode very good but the nexts will be awesome.) |

Striderfang said: i dropped the anime and started reading the manga lolol. And i'm here because i was bored and wanted to watch something. and Bleach 360 was the first thing i saw :DAmazing episode. I feel srry for the losers who dropped this show trololololo |
| I lol'd at Ginjo's rape face |
 |
| "TIME TEARS NO RICE!" - I'm sorry, I had to do it!! xDDD That was a pretty awesomesauce episode though. Although I forgot to watch it last week. Lawlz. Bleach marathon with ep. 361 though! :D <3 Well, Bleach is going OKAY. I'm not gonna say that I love it but I'm not gonna say that I hate it either. It's alright. I like the execution better than the manga though. Monologues are better and fighting is more clear. So yup, it's alright. 4/5 |
| I knew it! I didn't trust Ginjo from the start, and I'm pretty sure there was even a scene earlier where they showed a pair of legs in front of Tsukishima and it was the same pants that Ginjo wears. I also thought the soul badge was Ginjos too, since it was in his bag and all. He was just too shady. I'm still concerned as to why Tsukishima was living with that guy though, like really, who is he. And why would he ever think Tsukishima would mention him to others as being adorable.... >.> Anyway, Byakuya! And other SS People showing up in the next epi it seems. I really like this arc cause it took a step back and showed the casts normal day to day lives. It was just nice to see them back in school setting and how they interact with their friends and stuff. And I liked the suspense/ thriller hints too. |
  Thanks to Iri for the awesome Signature!! ^^ |
yogotah said: As a nonmanga reader, I was really impressed with the episode, i wouldn't have ever guessed this turn of events....and the way Ichigo looked when Chad and Orihime were protecting the enemy was epic. I understand personally how it feels when you're best friends turn against you for a false accusation o reason. I can't wait for the next episode. On a side note, I heard that bleach the manga, AND the anime is suppose to end soon...can anyone explain to me if this true? will the anime finish before the manga? I hope not I love bleach and don't want it to end. I find it amusing on how much this parallels Aizen situation. In his friends eyes Ichigo was a new Aizen right now till Ginjou stuff. And yes. This arc is the second to last arc of the storyline.; The next longer story arc is the final one revealing all the secrets and mysteries. akutasame94 said: Also I don't understand Ishida and sentence "The guy who cut me is behind you" I thought Tsukishima cut him :? Look at the scene. ISHIDA CLEARLY TURNS AROUND to face different side than Tsuki is coming from. |
 |
| lol ginjou and tsukishima pull'd a "kira" there. |
| My Guitar Covers: Playlist I CAN ALWAYS SHOW MY EVERYTHING TO YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUU |
| o-o. Maybe Ginjo is the Shinigami Tsukishima supposedly killed? |
| I was down on this arc but the last 2 episodes have been amazing wow! |
| A decent plot in Bleach, that's the real plot twist here. |
 |
| God damn, that epic cliffhanger! That slow motion stab as 'To be continued' gradually fades in... Ichigo getting deceived again, poor guy. |
| That was some unexpected turn of events at the end For the good as well I hate the 3-4 minutes recap each time the episode starts It's horrible |
| Next episode is going to be delicious |
 |
| What a great plot twist! Loving Bleach right now! |
| This was one hell of a epside! EPIC ! I didnt like Ginjo since the begining of the arc and now I hate him even more! But this was just epic I didnt expect any of this to happen. I jumped of the chair and I was like "WTF OMG" O.O I bet the next episode will be even better! CANT WAIT 5/5 |
 |
| Wow, I thought Ginjo was evil before everyone turned but then I decided he must be good. But wow. The fact that Ishida was cut and bled did make me question whether he was cut by the same guy. |
 |
| What... The.... ****... Did.... I... Just.... Witness. I got played, from the very beginning. Bleach at it's best, that's what this is. This is an even bigger plot-twist than Aizen's betrayal. Oh man... This is AWESOME! What the hell should I expect next!? |
 |
| I'm actually confused in Bleach. Usually it is just "yell and swing my sword harder because I have to win" and now there is a twist. Keep it up. |
| So who is the bigger bastard...ginjo or tsukshishima? |
 |
| TWIST....!!!!!!!! |

| Epic episode, but it was so depressing in the end. I was like "Ishida finally came to save the day, just as I expected" and then Ichigo acted slow like a retard and everything went down.... And the worst part is that Ishida got cut by Tsukishima. Nothing in Bleach is ever as shallow as it looks. I know it, but it still gets me every time..(about the plot twist) |
  |
| Thank god they finally revealed Ginjo's true identity. I've been waiting for this moment since the arc started. I wish they would have done it sooner, there's only six episodes left to go now! |
 |
| Ah dammit... Ginjo no yaro Dx I was waiting for Ishida to come into play and help Ichigo though (: Yey. Too bad it wasn't Kappa-kun that was standing behind Icchi >.> |
| Omg... what... have... just happened? O_O Ginjo on the bad side... Wtf... so only Ishida and Ichigo are completely sane good guys left now? I don't get it. >.< |
| Until this arc, I was always seeing Ichigo evolve and turn the events around through the power of his will - showing how strong our mind is - and these last few episodes are showing how frail our mind actually is. I find this change very interesting! I was a bit fearful when we lost Aizen as our main antagonist, I thought the quality would go down a bit, and my interest and enjoyment of this series with it, but thankfully, that isn't the case. Gotta keep watching! x) |
| Holy shit Ginjo! What an epic twist. |
 |
| Holy damn that was insane that ending, really epic stuff I must say! Lets see what's next! |
 |
| I KNEW THAT GINJO IS BAD, I KNEW IT!!!!!!!! |
| Damn, I actually liked Ginjo. Now that is what you call a heel turn! (I am a huge Wrestling fan, this was a wrestling reference a heel turn is a villainous turn meaning becoming a bad guy) I don't know what will happen next I'm guessing the Shinigami will save the day like always when Ichigo can't. I thought Ishida would turn heel because of the episode title, but man this last arc for Bleach is amazing! Ginjo & Tsukishima being allies was something I did not see coming 5 out of 5. |
| Holy fuck, the last scene. Uhm so, Tsukishima couldn't alter memory, so even if he cut Ginjo, he couldn't alter his memory, so.. uhm.. what? Assume he could remove his existence from Ginjo's memory, Ginjo would still remember what happened, right? He was such a good guy too, now he's evil? Something just doesn't add up, hopefully it get explained later. So, why didn't Tsukishima cut Ishida up like he did with Orihime and Chad? Ishida is clearly hurt from Tsukishima's attack in this episode. |

| Holy shit! Dat TWIST! |
  |
| What the hell... |
| THAT FUCKING PLOT TWIST! HOLY SHIT THAT GOT ME! Welp, looks like Ichigo and Uryu are the only sane ones left. Looks like they're going to have to take out both Tsukishima and Ginjo. Hopefully the soul society arrives soon, we saw Rukia a few episodes back so hopefully it's next episode like everyone else in the thread is saying. 6 episodes left, man that makes me feel really sad :( this is my most favorite anime ever. |
 |
| Just when i thought situation finally hit rock bottom, it then started digging even deeper. :S About time for Urahara and Ishin to show up. |
| I read a bit more than this in manga but not till the end so knew this was coming. I was very shocked when I read it in the manga. I was like "wait, Ginjo is bad too and wanted this?". I liked Ginjo too, I still like his character, he and Tsukishima make interesting bad guys. I can't belive Ginjo hurt Uryuu, at least Uryuu arrived to tell Ichigo. Still can't believe he stabbed Ichigo ;_____________; |
 |
| Pure epic, I'm so happy Ichigo found someone to really trust well now everything is said, on the next one the long awaited Soul Society support yaaaaay!! |
| oh my oh no oh my oh no nooooooooooooooo |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
