| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Aizen is a genius scheming bastard after all. He had it all planned out from the start. And it's obviously Tousen after all. He just faked his own "death" to fool Kensei. I'm assuming the last episode is the end of the Pendulum arc at this rate... and then back to more fillers. What joy. <insert sexual innuendo here> |

| Is it bad if I say that I actually enjoyed this somewhat? And that I'm actually looking forward to the next episode? o.o And indeed, it seems that we're going to be stuck with more filler after this arc is over. Bloody hell mate. |
 Felli disapproves of this thread. |
| Poor Tousen, always gets his butt kicked unless he attacks from behind >.> And it sounded like it would be a filler story WITHOUT Ichigo... that's surprising. |
   |
| I loved this episode. Fight scenes were badass and untied ends are going together well. Seeing Nanao all young = soo cute XD. |

| All-in-all, I actually liked this filler arc the most. Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to get back to the main story, but this is the first time I'm looking forward to the next episode of a filler arc of all things. p.s. - Tousen's a chump! Guy can never win a normal fight, real loser status...and Aizen is just genius as always, can't help but be amazed by the brilliance |

 |
| Just how did Aizen cause hollowfication to all those shinigami, is what i'm wondering. Anyhow, great episode. The recap was waay too long, but should enjoy this arc while it lasts. |
 |
| This episode was great! To bad the greatness might end with the upcoming fillers. |
- Signature Removed - The signature seriously lacked "It's a Sony" qualities. |
| yeah, too bad it looks like they're going into fillers after this; but what an awesome arc this, what with aizen superb schememing |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| damn AIZEN A BEAST damn so i guess next ep the end of this arc then bullshit then espadas arc wooooooooooooooooooooooo |
 |
| I borderline loved this episode. Every character I find interesting was here, and only one (BlondeTsundere) that I hate. Fuck the main story, if we just spent the rest of Bleach following these guys and Kieskue, and throw in some stuff with Ichigo and Ishida's father's, I'd be a happy camper. |
| I love the fight scenes in this episode! They managed to make Shinji even more of a badass. Wow. Also Shinji's hair is kind of epic. It's so long and flow-y. :D Ignore the terrible screencaping skills. Looks like the Shinigami Men's Association is meeting in Ichigo's room now. xD |

| Yet another filler arc that doesn't fit into the storyline. Bleach just reached Naruto levels of filler bullshit, if not worse. Maybe I should just stick to the damn manga. |
 |
| Man aizen better stop stroking his e-peen b4 he's as blind as bis little buddy. |
| who knows maybe the filler arc will be added on to the past arc. or something decent. meh, why must bleach/naruto be shown every week. they should just do seasons and take breaks. there is no way in hell the would lose viewership. maybe they would keep/gain since people wouldn't be watching bullshit filler arcs ruining the flow of the actual manga. so sad to see the past arc end, one of my favs. |
| aww twh that was crap shinji was getting owned... so unrealistic he shoudl have realeased bankai straight away >,< |
 |

 |
| Amazing amazing episode. I hope the upcoming filler arc extends on the pendulum arc. That'd be sweet. I love all these characters (the vizards). Personally I think the pendulum arc was too short in the manga... shoulda been more thorough, but maybe the writer plans to do another pendulum arc part 2 or something :P. If not, hopefully the filler arc will fill in some holes the manga left. Or... the fillers can rape bleach's already gaping asshole and have nothing to do with anything and screw up the timeline again... we'll see... |
WolfWood37 said: Yet another filler arc that doesn't fit into the storyline. Bleach just reached Naruto levels of filler bullshit, if not worse. Maybe I should just stick to the damn manga. Err... but this arc was in the "damn manga" -.- And it actually fits into the storyline, since it provides us with info on how the Vaizard were created. Not to mention it provides some back story on characters that we didn't know that much about (such as Aizen). Anyway, episode was pretty good. Next one is most likely the last episode of this arc (which sucks). |
| Nice episode, I haven't enjoyed Bleach this much since the Soul Society Arc, and sadly it is ending soon. If the filler arc isn't going to have Ichigo in it I expect that it would somewhat relate to a past story where Ichigo couldn't be centered around it since he wouldn't exist at the time. But who knows, we may get that Don fella, Ichigo's two sisters, and Kon to go on an adventure. |
| Nice episode but... Please no fillers after this arc pleeeaasee!! There is already enough fillers in Bleach! >.< I hope that filler would at least tell about that how Substitute Shinigami Work Diary was funny once again "No one in Soul Society will let us borrow their assembly halls!" Just...LOL. Poor guys I feel sorry for them XD |
 |
| I loved this episode really, but I still can't see why frikkin 2 vice captains own like, too many captains xD Yet again this episode they didn't even release zanpaktou once, let alone use Bankai.... but ah well, still, Back to Pendulum arc is cool ! :D |
| Amazing Episode. I was clue to the screen. As about the zanpaktou release i guess they didn't because they were fighting friends and they wanted to capture them instead of killing them. Bad thing is that fillers are coming again. Even a filler arc can be good with little inspiration but all the fillers in Bleach until now sucked, so am not very hopeful. The fact that Ichigo might not be in this filler is a good sign though. I have an amazing idea. How about showing us Kenpachi's life before he was a shinigami when he was in the streets killing people with everyone chasing him and the meeting with Yachiru. That will make a good 6 episode filler and it can match with the time of the Pendulum arc. You know after everyone leaves from the place they were fighting right now Kenpachi arrives because he felt the strong reiatsu but he doesn't find anyone and then continue with his story at that world. |
| A great episode indeed. Though the fighting scene is not as good as I expected in to be, except for Hacchi's way of binding,kind of cool. Never though a long recap would appear in this arc,or well. Urahara and Tensei.xD About the fillers,I'm kind of glad to heard that Ichigo is not in it but it's kind of strange that the main character isn't gonna be in that arc for a filler. Well,let's see what comes out. I won't mind fillers as long as there're good or great,though it would have been better if it's related to the original storyline,not just randomly makeup stories like bounto and the new captain arc which is just for entertaining without any relation with the original storyline. |
| Great episode! loved their hollowifications and it was also nice to see chibi Nanao ^^ and it'll be all fillers nect...i wonder how they plan to put a filler in the middle of all this action...i guess we'll have to wait and see >__> |
 |
| It was unexpectedly entertaining episode. |

Far better than Bleach main story line. Too bad back to the fillers after this arc -_-. I want som soul society stuff. Not just Ichigo going Kamehameha or being dead. |
| I'm pissed there's going to be ANOTHER filler arc after this..... see you guys after its over. I refuse to watch filler. this past arc has been awesome - I wouldn't mind if it were longer. |
| pretty good episode, i hope the next arc is as good as this one |
 |
| i loved this episode. argh!! i don't wanna wait until next tuesday for the rest! but at least we know how everything came about and why Urhara is in the real world. XP it all makes sense. i can't wait for the next ep! >,<" |
     |
| Awesome episode. I'm curious to what the filler will be like. I won't knock it... yet. |
 |
| I'm also curious about the filler arc, but from what I remember, the fights in Karakura come after this arc. Which means we have two little arcs more without the main cast. I'm not too thrilled about this. I hope at least the fillers have better pacing than the manga. Pretty fun episode, though. |
| I wonder who will be the main character of the fillers since it seems won't be Ichigo noteDhero said: I borderline loved this episode.

I so damn agree with you. |
 |
| Great episode and i think they did this arc very well but not happy that we are back to filler's again after this arc >.< it does look like the anime is close to the current manga chapter so maybe expected T_T looking forward to the rest of the episodes |

| I used to be a "Narutard" when it came to people dissing Bleach, but now i hope it gets cancelled. I can't stand all of this endless filler crap, (Like Rurichi-whateverthefuckhernameis), i can survive off of the Pendulum Arc. For now, my rating for the show is an 8, but once fillers are back it's going down to a 7. The way they do things right now in the Pendulum Arc is much better than what they do for the actual manga-based plotline. Tite Kubo, though you're not involved with the anime, DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. Make this former Bleach fan a fan again. |

| Stopping the series for a whileand then continuing it later will be way much better than the fillers crap, I can survive without Bleach but I can't stand the fillers |
| I didn't like this episode. It was really too short. |
 |
| Amazing, amazing, amazing. I love this arc so much. Too bad next week is the arc's final episode. :( |
     |
| Man, Aizen is one scary, evil, badass, isane, deceptive, and overall twisted son of a bitch. If he were a real live person, the world would be FUCKED!!!!!!!! |
