Has he said it was close to being done? With its popularity, I really can't see it ending anytime soon. So that would be a lot of filler...

The pacing might be like this because by the time they get into filler mode, or close to it, Bleach: Fade to Black will be out on DVD, which would kind of take the heat off crappy fillers.

This fight was cool and all, but what I'm really excited for is Hisagi's fight since out of all 4 of theses guys hes my favorite and I thought his fight was awesome.

A solid enjoyable episode. Been a while since I have been able to say that and yea Kira is that much more bad ass after the decapitation. I understood making people bow for forgiveness with wabisuke but now yea that was great, "So you think my blade can't cut?" *uck you.

like the development on Kira's character. The decapitation did give me the creeps for I've always thought Kira is more, erm, genteel? But nicely done.

Next eps, Hisagi!!!!!!!!!!!

The only disappointment is that they didn't actually show the decapitation. Well...without being censored in a sense.
This.

Some few seconds of Charlotte was *ucking disturbing. Great to see Kira pwn. I cringed when he decapitated that bird ><

really good episode and good pace but the fights are going quicker then expected 0__0 seems like there could be more fillers on the way >.<
was really cool seeing how ruthless Kira was XD looking forward to Hisagi fight


Maybe they're finally taking a look at how One Piece does things and up the pacing, and it definitely upped the enjoyment level. Also, Kira is fucking badass. I love how he combines Kidou with sword combat, these are elements I love from some other shinigami as well.

This is the part in the manga where Kubo was like "Okay Kira, you can has be badass nao."
Kira should be like this more often, if you ask me.


I had to quote this.

A quite good episode. I've been reluctant to watch it all week as I've been drifting away from Bleach, but as soon as I was out of the re-cap of last weeks I was alrite. Yumichika's explanation of his zankpacktou was quite interesting. Calling it out as Wisteria, so it doesn't fully release.

I wonder if he looked like this after he absorbed the reitsu;



It was pretty awesome seeing Hisagi and Ikkaku as a sort of intermission before the Kira fight. Damn he's got a wicked zankpacktou. I thought that his description of the marigold symbol, and the way the 3rd squad operates was very much like Kira. "Zetsuboushita!". Bless him, he always looks depressed.

I did not reaalize how brutal he was at the end. Wasn't expecting him to finish it off like that :3. But dayum, kudos. My respect for him has risen expandability. Good job.

Now for the Hisagi fight. Can't wait to see any form of zankpacktou action from him.

Also, Konishi Katsuyuki. <3.

i really am beginning to hate the five minutes of recap but i guess it's necessary when comparing it too the filler arcs. O,o

it was a pretty good episode. Kira got rid of that Arrancar swiftly, and i think it was some what brutal considering his character seemed to be more gentle in the beginning (however considering what he's been through and then the arrancar kept naming Gin, he got a little pissed) but it was still awesome.

two down, two to go. that was a pretty quick fight considering they tend to draw them out.

i'm excited to see how Ikkaku fairs and kills his opponent. Hisagi's fight will be interesting too. i thought that it was weird for him to be chipping his mask but that may be how he releases his power. oh well. we'll find out in the next ep. maybe.

oh, and i really really want to see Yamamoto fight. i love it when his does because he doesn't ever seem to hold back. that old man is scary as hell at times. XD

*sigh* i'm betting the fight between Ichigo and Ulquiorra will be on the back-burner until the end. i'm interested to see how it goes since it seems Ulquiorra is going to take it seriously from the beginning. oh how i wish that Ichigo could hold his mask longer. but i have my suspicions that this fight will push him harder and that something like that will happen. (that or the other Vizards are obviously coming, so they may end up helping out. i see them splitting up and one group going to the fake K-town and the other going to Hueco Mundo.)

wow i ended up writing a lot more than i expected. me and my babbling. XP

That will only be for a little while and plus it is only a short term solution, maybe they can find out from Kubo whether he is going to be ending it soon, and judging from the going ons what else can he add except for the king of SS, the captains have reached their limit, they cannot be developed power wise, except for hollowification which will then class them as hypocrites.

Plus I really can't see the three Espada wining, (no spoiler purely jusged from the anime perspective) because there are still the Vizards and so on, so I think he will just get defeated in the winter battle and Kubo will end it on an ambiguos note lol.

you are forgetting something........think for a minute what could be next.............most people don't think about this but the next arc will be something about the king/ royal guard. He wouldn't just end it after telling us about that and plus we have barely seen anything about the vizards. Combining how long a "saga" tends to be in this series combined with the filler it will most likely get, i think another 200 episodes could remain.

Kira's ideals come to light. He's a scarier man than I had anticipated. No mercy. I like the variety of personalities in Bleach, they're so many different types of people. I hope he doesn't ever spew shit like in front of Kenpachi though... LoL.

Love the pacing. Looks like Shuuhei's up next!

Oh Kira. How I've learned to adore you and your dark atmosphere <3

I especially loved how his zanpakutou is used for beheading his enemies. It was beautiful. And how he asked to not be forgiven as the ending. Leaves a sinking feeling that lasts inside of you :')

Kira has been one of my favourite characters ever since I watched BuriMyu Saien (I loved KitaEiki's portrayal of Kira). This has got to be one of my favourite Kira scenes~ (Also, since I also like Takahiro Sakurai, it's awesome that he gets an epic speech like this)
And damn, Wabisuke is amazing. This episode is a great reminder on why his zanpaktou is my favourite. (Not one of my favourites; it's THE favourite)

yep, i'm completely gobsmacked, who knew.
you're the most sneaky there is, prolly even more sneaky than Gin or Aizen.

oh- that blonde dude's pretty nice..... i wanna see more of Hisagi's fighting tho _xD!

heavy- Kira-.... yep.

-Aquilamon evolves to Zuqiaomon ;D?

"wabisuke- the apologizing one" -japanese bow when apologizing. more weight= deeper bow. -it all makes sense!
woah.. .that symbolism behind the 3rd squads' emblem ,_,'

hoo.. Kira... i never took you for a seme-..
OHMY-
execution =w=

........................
.........................
-..................
i suddenly have respect for Kira..

-perfect ending ;w;

ahh.... Shinigami diaries... thank you for being uplifting, Kira was simply too depressing and serious there by the end, i wanna see him getting all chummy with Hiasgi and Rangiku once this is all over ans them falling asleep in a happy, drunken stupor -w-

Interesting trivia about Yumichika and the fighting Zanpakuto swords.
I don't know why, but whenever Kira's opponent is on screen, everything feels a bit too saturated for some reason.
Kira has been acting out like a savage bastard, and I liked it, he truly deserves to have been the second in command in a squad that was led by a fearless man like Gin.
