| Byakuya had a hidden Kame-Hame-Ha! Tsukishima overconfidence made him pay the price |
| Awesome fight with Byakuya. Can't help but feeling Rukia should have stopped Riruka? Then again I guess she didn't know about her abilities. |
 |
| Epic conclusion to Byakuya vs Tsukishima. Byakuya's powers seem even more broken than before, which isn't really surprising. Riruka's flashback and Rukia's reaction were good. I wish they could become friends but it's definitely going to be a bittersweet conclusion for me. |
 |
| Byakuya kakkoiiiii~ |

| Byakuya's fight was soooooo good. He did better than ever before. At first I was like "Tsukishima's so dead", but then tables turned.. until Byakuya turned them again. Rukia was so kawaii this episode :D :D |
  |
| Rukia being forced into a stuffed animal form and Riruka being unable to catch her - I laughed so hard. |
 |
| Yey, I guessed right that Byakku had some blade petals in his fist! ;D ;D Baka Tsukishima. I really love Ishida's narration in the preview. It reminded me of GinXRangiku :'( "If what's hidden inside your Combat Pass is nothing but a horrible truth... Then I will cover your eyes and ears to prevent you from learning it." Bromance. |
| Byakuya. Awesome as always. :d |
| Rukia's vs Riruka had me laughing. It's a bittersweet thing to get to the last two episodes of an anime. |
| Byakuya is a badass >:3 |
| Rukia's fight was pretty enjoyable and well knowing there are only two episode left I do wonder what they'll end it with! |
 |
| Xcution's past is pretty sad... And finally Tsukishima is down. |
| Kuchiki Byakuya is a badass, one of Bleach's best characters. I love Rukia too, I hope she can have a come back and beat Riruka. Good episode. |
| Am I the only one who thought that Tsukishima's ability is kind of flawed here? |
| Honobono Log - best slice of life short -------------------------------------------- most kawaii loli overlord ---------------------------- Donquixote Doflamingo AMV - Control |
| Not bad. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| Only 2 more episodes. |
  |
| Pretty good episode,final battle is near... |
| Byakuya being the badass as always I see, that move he pulled on Tsukishima caught me off guard, looked like he pulled a kamehaameha on him! Only 2 episodes left, what will happen? I will watch more to find out! |
 |
| Riruka's past was laughable. How would you explain to people that you were kidnapped inside a box full of dolls by a twelve year old girl anyway? Why didn't Byakuya used flash steps? |
| Ikkaku made good points to the boy lol. Rukia became a plushie and accidentally attacked herself inside! xD Awww, more flashbacks of Riruka and the others. Kidnapping her crush was extreme and the fact anyone believed him is weird though. Where'd she go? lol. OMG Byakuya was so awesome when he defeated Tsukishima! he had fun he said at the end too basically. His last attack looked amazing, I wondered what he'd done at first, I was like wtf! lol. |
 |
| It's finally done!!! Good Job Byakuya!! This is about to end :( |
| Not a bad episode we have a small info in Xcution now, Byakuya fought for his life for the first time. |
| "absolute safety field" ....Evangelion? psh- as if Byakuya wouldn't believe he could harm the guy -w- bankai. screw you guy _xD -there is no absolute safety. that's a big hole _xD |
 I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them. |
| I liked the Battle of Byakuya Vs Tsukishima It was so wonderful but for the Battle of Rukia Vs Riruka Well I did not like this fight I find it ridiculous :) |
| Two arrogant look-alikes h.aving an exchange of words? Yeah sure |
| lol Rukia actually lost and the emergency patient is probably Ishida again xD |
 |
| Can't get enough of Rukia, her expressions and voice are simply too adorable:3 |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Interesting backstory for Riruka, I still like her, poor girl it feels like she don't know what she's going... Byakuya was epic like always, only 2 episodes left WTF |
 |
| Tsukishima is only a human and is capable of fighting Byakuya up to that extent (he CUT HIM, meaning he has at least the same spiritual pressure as a captain, WTF) What a joke. Bleach and its plot holes strike again... |
| that surprise attack from Byakuya was great 2 More left... |
 |
| That stuffed animal world reminds me of Madoka Magika. It makes you wonder what Kon would do in that situation. The biggest mistake you make is telling your opponent what you plan to do. Tsukishima's downfall. The villains complemented the Soul Reapers well. |
 |
| Loli Riruka <333333 |
 |
| Was fun to see Rukia there, well she really can be cute sometimes. And underestimating Byakuya is the last thing someone can do. |
 |
| Rukia's battle was funny, and Byakuya's was interesting. Anyways, another 2 more episodes left eh? I'm looking forward to seeing Ichigo's battle!!!! |
| Rukia in stuff animal reminded of how she used to step on Kon all the time lol i give Tsukishima a credit for pushing Byakuya to the limit but he just too cocky. Byakuya be like: i just improvised lol |
 |
| pretty boring ep, pacing is hella fast and there r no stakes, its just singlehandely getting beaten down one by one hopefully icihgo vs ginjo will be good |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Another one wrecked. Hoping to see Ginjo next |
| خ |
| I don't really agree with Ikkaku. Someone can be worthy in the eyes of a person and unworthy in the eyes of another person. That's it! You don't need any other reason. |

KonokoAsada said: Wow I wanted to post here cuz of that scene. I agree with what you've said. Sad, but not worthless. But I do see a point about what Ikkaku says. There have been many anime scenes where someone dies because of loyalty (which is sometimes blind) and the person they're dying for doesn't respect them at all. I think being able to live for yourself and not have to die as some kind of sacrifice for the sake of others is also noble (ofc that depends on the context). I don't really agree with Ikkaku. Someone can be worthy in the eyes of a person and unworthy in the eyes of another person. That's it! You don't need any other reason. Also, would Kenpachi be willing to die for his subordinates? I thought it was interesting for Ikkaku to say that when Kenpachi is one of the captains to least likely do that. |

MistyBlue said: I agree, but I think it depends not only on the context but on each person's choice. As long as a person is true to themselves, whether they live for themselves or live/die for others, that shows a strong character and a free spirit. This is each person's way of achieving personal fulfillment. At least, that's my belief.I think being able to live for yourself and not have to die as some kind of sacrifice for the sake of others is also noble (ofc that depends on the context).

Haha, you can never be sure about Kenpachi. While he seems unlikely to sacrifice for his subordinates, he could also take us by surprise, depending on the situation. What is obvious to me, however, is that being rough and apparently indifferent to those around him is Kenpachi's way of encouraging them to grow strong, autonomous, enjoy their life, and prevail no matter what. |

KonokoAsada said: If you have watched the last episode, it might not have been a bad idea for the young man to stay alive. I'm also glad certain characters were able to live on by the end of it.MistyBlue said: I agree, but I think it depends not only on the context but on each person's choice.

There were a couple of characters in some other anime I've watched recently who sacrificed themselves. I didn't like the way they were being used as a tool and a disposable side character. It just seemed like a lazy and easy way to write off a character. Yea, Bleach does have a knack of doing 180's on most of their characters. |
