Omaeda got hit by a brick thrown by Soifon^^ Soifon's battle with Ggio continues, and the same goes for Omaeda. Omaeda manage to defeat his opponent but it wan't really interesting. At the end, Soifon defeat Ggio before he gets to show his true power^^ that makes Barragan stood up after the defeat of all his fraccion. The episode was just alright i guess, but it's isn't the best.

Finally, that'll be the end of Omaeda's face for a while. Next episode will be the lulz catfight. I have to facepalm at Bleach previews though, they always spoil the surprise that comes in the episode:
. I wouldn't be surprised if they showed off the top 3 revealing their numbers in the preview.

An ok episode, just wrapping up the not very interesting omaeda/soi fon fights.

I will be looking forward to seeing Barragan in action and maybe a little development of soi fon`s fighting style (the two hit kill thing is getting redundant)

It was ok. What gets me is that Omaeda has no idea how storng his captain is. Plus, even if Soifon wanted to see how strong her opponent was, she didn't have to make it look like she was a total weakling.

Episode was alright, it didn't need all that drama, but nonetheless I'm glad those fights are over -_-. Soifon still never ceases to amaze me with her ways of fighting though :P.

LOL, got pwned while transforming. That's change... she didn't just stand there dazzled. Yay Soifon! Omaeda wasn't at all that irritating in this ep too... lol at him 'hugging' Ggio.

LOL!! and if the preview doesn't spoil it someone on MAL will.^_^

I believe we should give Soi Fon a special prize for being one of the very few if not the only one characters that didn't sit and wait for the other guy to finish his stupid transformation and take a pose.

By the way i never understood what is the usefulness of that two hit thing. Why don't you just put your sword through his heart or head, hey it's easier than trying to hit the same spot twice.

IT seems that her technique is painless and destroys the body. Becuase their is no pain, while he is dying he won't scream or something and dissapearance of his body will get rid of teh corpse.
While not useful for battles, it is useful in assasinating.

Okay episode but what I think I am finding boring and what I believe many people who are calling these episodes boring are also finding is that all these fights are gradually recycling the previous fight by someone else in a different fashion. The enemies are becoming less and less intimidating upon releasing and the outcome is always very clear.

A decent example would be:

Battle starts - Brooding Dialogue

The fight - Look at me I'm strong Shinigami, you're weak.

More fight - Oh so you're not so weak, huh?

More fight - I'm released now Shinigami, you're weak again.

End fight - Oh damn so you weren't really trying and killed me with a super awesome secret technique or release ability?

It's been effectively the same non-stop pattern the entire Fake Karakura Arc thus far.

Now that's not to say it won't get better but it's certainly reason enough to get bored of it with it being dragged this long. Most of these characters were never even built up to be strong enough to endure this kind of challenge to begin with.

I know it's a common Shonen trend however some are able to pull it off by taking more risks with characters or by having interesting twists that leave you wondering what will happen next.

So while I found the episode entertaining, at the same time I found the repetitive nature of it boring.

Finally over, about damn time. Everytime they show Omaeda I can't help but think of a big meatball...

I admit I'm abit bias and not really caring to see the other fights besides Ichiogos upcoming battle. Well I guess I can't wait to see Shunsui go all out, it will be nice to see him get serious...

Ahh shucks. Beat me to the claimage. I love her! She's soo badass. Although, well waiting around for the 2 hit kills was a bit lame, but I understand that she wanted to get a feel for a resureccion form.

Man, next weeks episodes gonna rock. Purely for some other peoples fights. Need to see more Kyouraku. Can't wait to see the outcome of Soifon vs Barragan too. But I guess that'll be a wee while whilst it circles round a bit.

Oh and I forgot to add onto the Omeada comment. Anyone that slaps Omeada around a bit gets a + rep from me. Even elephant fella.

I enjoyed it. Especially the part where Soi fon was like come join me once you've killed him. Thought that was pretty sweet. Made it feel as though there was more of a bond between captain and lieutenant.

I agree! That's the same cycle we've been repeating for a very long time now. I feel there is WAY more talking than fighting too. What happened to Bleach's awesome sword battles?

And WTF is with the 5 minute recap in the begging of this episode? lol bad enough we have to deal with Ichigo's 30 second recap.

Guess I should stop complaining about the pace though. Not like it will change anything. And at least 1 more battle is finally over and we're moving on to bigger fish.

At least Hinamori is finally coming back =]. That's a +.

I thought these Arrancar and Espada were suppose to be strong.
We built up to this whole battle for over a 100 episodes and no shinigami have died yet...*Bald dude got his @$$ kicked but that's it*. Not that I want any of them to die...well...maybe 1 or 2 :).

serious pacing issues. they're totally raping this arc by dragging it out like that with pointless filler fights and conversations which never happened in the manga. seriously? 2 whole episodes for that fight... which only constituted a couple pages in the manga? ... so lame. this basically feels like watching a filler arc to me rather than watching the original story...urgh.

I'm surprised more people arent talking about Soi Fon's stupid reason for losing that whole time: "I just wanted to see his release"... really? you'll take an hour of punishment just to see someone's release?

Why don't you just kick his ass from the start, then he'll need to use his release to keep up... it's faster and less painful...

Because they get to sell more episodes?

Why do people still ask these questions?
