| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Amazing episode glad Ichigo won even though i knew from the start he would. Inoues reaction when she saw him was really cute. I wonder whats happening so that the gate is not working I wonder if that is where Kenpatchi is. |
 |
| Ichigo has got some inner demons to deal with...literally. I wanna see what Toushirou's gonna do now. (I should watch the preview before I make my posts) |

| Byakuya is still cute. :3 |
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.~ |
| Liked this episode.. Too bad Byakuya lost .. |
| Wow, Ichigo has a dark side. Amazing battle! Glad to see Ichigo as the winner. Orihime trying to catch Ichigo. XD I wonder what is happening from that cliffhanger ending? |
 |
| Even though Byakuya lost this fight still made him cooler! Maybe we're going to see more from Ichigo's dark side? Aww that's too good of a cliffhanger XD Edit: Wow that preview was amazing, 'Matsumoto, you go home' epic! |
 |
| one word SEXY!!!!!!!!! |
 |
| Hell yeah that was awesome! Hollow Ichigo is the shit! |
| Hollow Ichigo? Definitely wasn't expecting that. |
| I like Byakuya, despite "losing", was the one who seemingly walked away fine. I thought that kept his sort of "cool" character. Wonder whats up with Hitsugaya. Probably Ichimaru in that room... |

| Ichigo wouldn't have won if it wasn't for his hollow tbh..love this episode! |
SunsetRainbow said: Ichigo wouldn't have won if it wasn't for his hollow tbh..love this episode! True, the only thing I hate about him. Ichigo's about to lose versus a better enemy? Ofc no, Hollow bro is always there for him. |
  |
| Nice conclusion to the fight. Usually when antagonists lose their fights, they become worst but I think Byakuya kept his character and coolness even after losing. He also had to fight that monster hollow Ichigo. Cliffhanger at ending, I wonder what had Toshiro so shocked. |
 |
| best fight |
 |
| Really amazing episode and what a cliffhanger! Didn't expect that his hollow side would appear so sudden in the middle of a fight and oh boy was it interesting, really epic fight and ow it's so great he won! Inoue was so cute in the end, I do wonder if they'll add some romance development in this story as well, lets see what that ending was all about next! |
 |
| I'm guessing that hollow was from that time when he was training with Urahara.. back then it looks like he drove off the hollow but now I think it just hid beneath him waiting to posses his body what did Toshiro saw in that room? probably Gin |
 |
| What an amazing fight and especially with the fact the Hollow side of him came back out to play, didn't expect that, so he's obviously still lurking in the darkest recesses of his mind or body. Wow, but at least for now he seems to to be able to fight it off. Ichigo is so damn awesome! Awww, Orihime at the end lol. What was in the room? D: Bodies I bet. |
 |
| Awesome episode 5/5 hollow Ichigo is so strong in Bon Kai mode, he was overpowering Byakuya. I like how Byakuya was so calm and serene during the whole fight. I wonder what Hitsuguya and his lieutenant found. Post #67 |

| I wanna see more Hollow Ichigo from now on shit He so reckless in that form yet so strong Well we got to wait for his next fight,Byakuya looked handsome as hell when Ichigo said I will fight the law his eyes got so big and beautiful, I wonder what happened with The old man's fight againsg Ukitake and the other guy. |
| asdfgh- i just love Hollow Ichigo in this episode ^_^' i'm sad that they didn't do his voice this funny the other times Hollow shows up ;_; but seriously; Byakuya's a wee bit slow if he didn't catch on there... "Very well, i will not ask what that was right now-.." <--why not?! it's seriously something that should be bothering you man _<D!!! |
 I like to comment Episodes as i Watch them. |
| (yet another good use of nothing can be explained) wow so...byakuga did indeed defeat ichigo? he would have died for sure if the hollow didn't stop the sword. it only makes sense ichigo wouldn't have beat byakuga in two days. he can beat him for sure but not in training for two days...that's just an insult to him as a soul reaper. regardless, i was pretty surprised to see the hollow appear suddenly to save him (actually to save itself). i have my own proposal on how Hollow can fight quicker and better than ichigo: because he goes into a dark, evil way of fighting and that's something ichigo simply can't do because he's a good person. so he'll fight his own way, even though it can get him killed. it also finally makes sense that the mask appeared whenever he was pierced in a fatal way, Hollow did it so It would live on. |
 |
| Byakuya lost but he was still cool, I really wonder what happened to Ichigo with the "other him" it's creepy. And Orihime was so cute at the end <3 |

Hollow Ichigo was so savage and I loved it. Ngl was so satisfying to see him messing with Byakuya, easily my favorite part of this fight. |

| Ichigo has a hollow form...? |
 |
| this was so satisfying |
| water |
| what a dope fight, loved it!! |
If you don't like me, acquire some taste |
| it would be much better if ichigo didn't saved by his "inner" self, or the fact that byakuya showed one hell badass attack that supposed to be only for that big clash thingy. and inoue should marry ichigo... |
| Ichigo is Stanley Ipkiss from the Mask. I've finally realised it! |
| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| Wtf is that mask??? Hollow Ichigo? It's so satisfying seeing Ichigo won, but respect for Byakuya for keeping his words. |
 |
| Ichigo vs Byakuya felt shorter than I remembered. Still one of the most defining fights of Soul Society though, for sure. Orihime's ditzy antics always warm my heart. After an intense duel like that, her silliness is a nice bit of relief. Now it's time to get hyped for the real fun... |
 |
| ...Is that really the real reason why Byakuya wanted to kill Rukia? That's...eh. Ichigo is right; sometimes you need to fight the law instead of upholding 'em. |
