Okey this post was never created =P so I'll do it now then.
We see rukia in her full powers, or well some powers cos that was a short fight =) glad to see her not being a weak sauce.

Also we see the intros to the other awesome battles that are coming, can't wait =D

I'm surprised at Rukia's strength...considering how pathetic she was in the beginning. Cool I guess.

Ichigo is reminding me a lot of Naruto lately. He sucks now...just sucks. I understand his struggle and all, but they need to not make him so damn emotional about it. Struggle, but don't be a whiny baby.

Great episode too. Funny parts, good battle scenes, definitely liked it.

Rukia's shikai was actually pretty cool... but somehow, I think the "Byakuya-pulled-some-strings" excuse is a little lame to explain her sudden increase in power. Since he was trying so hard not to shame his family further, I don't think that he would have done something like that, especially when even a mod-soul knew that it happened. That means for sure that the family knew he did it.

Otherwise, pretty spiffy. Liked the thoughts of Chad, too... He's probably going to go on some "must-get-stronger" quest now to catch up to Ichigo to be able to fight along side him.

Bleach in general is reminding me of Dragonball Z... not a good thing in my opinion.

Chappy the modsoul is far more annoying than even Ririn...

Good episode though, unfortunately the title of the next episode gives away what happens, so try not to see it, kay?

Great epi! Rukia's shikai is tight!!! Chappy is hilarious! Ikaku, I was so hoping they would show his Bankai in the epi, but it should be soon! They are just building up the anticipation to the pure awesomeness!! I can't wait...Urahara Out!!

Yey, finally Rukia's shikai!
I guess thats the first time we've seen her fight properly seeing as in the first ep she was trying to protect Ichigo and the rest she wasn't at full power.

Next fights look good ^^

Chado.... Was I over-analyzing that scene or was it just that deep...?

Nice to see Rukia's Zanpakuto, it really suits her. It's cool how she can handle her own battles too.

"No, you're probably the biggest loser of all", well said, Toushiro.

ITs quite clear that Chad despises the fact of not being able to stand equally with Ichigo, considering just how much they have been through together since their first meeting and how they have always been standing together, back to back, till now.
It also shows that Ichigo is getting a serious "rush forward alone to save everyone!!1111" kind of hero complex.

I think its nice that Rukia gave that exact treatment to Ichigo right afterward by requesting HIM to step aside.

Sillies, Rukia isn't powerful, just that arancar sucked ass.

This episode wasn't so good at the beginning(seriously, Matsumoto sucks hard), but then Keigo made it to my fav characters xD

I feel a little bad for Sado. Hopefully he'll be able to help Ichigo some time later in this arc.

I'm looking forward to see Toshiro's fight, I really like his fighting style so any fight with him is fun to watch.

Looks like Grimmjow found Ichigo, and he is definitely the strongest from the group of guys that are attacking right now.

God, do I wanna see Chad back in the swing of things so badly.

Excited to see Ikkaku kick some ass in the next episode, although I'm confused as to why Keigo has spirit pressure all of the sudden...

Grimmjow and his crew are here! It's really heating up now, Grimmjow looks like an absolute badass. Gonna be lots of fights in the next episode.

Also wow, Rukia one-shot Di Roy :O 
Her Zanpakuto is cool, I'm glad that she wasn't just weak forever.

Rukia zanpakuto is quite powerful if Icihgo didn't distract Rukia at the pilot she would have never had the need to give him her powers.  Am I the only one who was to see Ichigo use the chappy mod soul?
