Great Fucking stuff. I like this more than the Manga.

Great animation also. I can't see Zangetsu betraying Ichigo at all however.

I agree. I wish they'd stop focusing on rukia always having to get saved

I liked the ep though. Maybe more than the actual series lol.

Though Im not sure if I liked the whole telling the situation as flashbacks for practically the whole episode. They possibly could have done that better.

Cant wait for the next ep though lol

lol didn't ichigo have to fight to win zangetsu's favor? or at least the right to wield him? so he would not be so easily persuaded to fight against him?

Ichigo won against Zangetsu so he can prove himself worthy.

Great episode. The animation is so different.

The animation is completely different and more crisp.
I hate that Rukia always has to be saved, but this is interesting enough to block that out. :D
*Fansqueal* Yoruichi showed up! :D
Can't wait for the next episode!

I like how you go off topic on your own thread! Also, if the site gets some clean up work and better performance I might consider taking them seriously. Until then, don't bash other groups because I'm sure you've used Dattebayo before and then got sensitive at a funny troll they did, or something.


From the comments in this thread it looks like tihs filler is actually worth while. Thanks! I'm likely going to watch them now, I had no plans to.. I skipped the bount arc. Does anyone know when this will end? How far ahead is the manga?

there usually should be something wrong when a filler is better than the regular story. but this is bleach...they can talk about swim suit for pigs and it probably would be better.

YES. THAT. And this was an okay episode, I can't wait for more appearances from the other zanpakutou though. And HMMMMI wonder what happened to Byahbyahbyah and Yamamoto? And yay, they're using music from DiamondDust!

yamamato is probably locked up in his office or something; so i wonder whose zanpaktou was the shocker? some of these zanpaktou in human form are easily identified either by power or weapon
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures

Tottaly agree. Lol this wouldn't be bad if it was part of the actual series at all. I wish it was...

Some real time fighting would've been better than flash backs...

Even though they did it in flashback instead of chronological story telling, it still accomplished a lot more than 3 normal Bleach episodes.
The story doesn't need to be original beyond Save Rukia, just keep the fast pace of the story and all is well.

Ok episode. I didn't like that they decided to show everything as a flashback instead of just showing it straight, without that bedridden Rukia scene.

I want to see Benihime.

At least this is thoughtful fanservice. I can see this downward spiraling quickly, but if they hold their cards and don't show a few zanpakuto, then it might be fine.

Really didn't have much action....just alot dialog. Though it's pretty much got the same premises as all the arcs have; Ichigo going to save everyone. I hope the next ep has more action!

Ahh you beat me to it. I was wondering where Kenpachi was. Maybe since his zanpakuto has no name, it can't rebel? Or maybe he finally learns his zanpakuto's name....

oh bleach filler, why do i watch you? XD... ah, an ok episode that has set the stage for another round of nice little stories that will have no permanent bearing on character or story development, but at least offers a little bit of the bleach we know and love while we wait for the "real" story to continue...

hey, does anyone remember when it used to take a week for Urahara to set up a senkai gate to soul society? how about when Byakuya was one of the fastest shinigami in SS? XP

well atleast with the enemy being the actual zanpakuto, the shinigami will have a real excuse for their (impending) complete weakness, and relying on Ichigo, unlike the last filler arc...

agree with the comments about the flashbacks to tell the story. I felt that part was like some video game.

I like how all the zanpakuto have betrayed their wielders so easily ;\

There must be a few that didn't unless they have been made to. It sort of makes there connections seem weak if thats the case.

I don't think it was all about Rukia, more like about Byakuya. Ichigo > Rukia > Byakuya.
All of the characters get their air time, I don't really see any focusing on someone particular.

What about the large-breasted furry chained to a midget Zanpaktou? I was going to assume one of the "double" zanpaktou like Shinsui's, but it isn't.

It certainly is the strangest of them all.

THIS.


It's obvious that Muramasa is manipulating/brainwashing the 'swords' is some fashion, hence there is nothing wrong with the ones in the real world. Besides, they didnt just decide one day to 'go for it', it was pretty damn clear that it was an organised event and as such, is bound to be brought about by some powerful trigger or a whole series of causal events.

Where is Kenpachi these hours, he is an enemy narutal of zanpakutou =x
Only I was in doubt about If the materialization of zanpakutou is part of the training to have a bankai, the shinigamis not have bankai, are not favored? And Rukia go to the real world of nothing... I have to force my imagination you believe that. But I liked the episode in any way.

Like everyone else, I wonder where Kenpachi and Yachiro are hiding.

I'm really looking forward to seeing Zangetsu materialize and fight alongside Ichigo, if that is at all possible.

It also looks like Ichigo will be doing the Arrancar Encyclopedia thing next episode.

Damn, this FILLER arc is much more worthwhile than the manga. This is shaping up to be a good distraction with the source material slowly hobbling its way to being complete and utter shit. Kubo really needs to get his ass back into gear and prove that he could still write a good story, not just designing FABULOUS clothes.


P.S. Mayuri is such a fucking troll.

I think he wrote, or at least did the char designs for the zanpaktou, so it's not like he sucks...maybe he should take a break like some mangaka's do.

I actually DO like this more than the Hueco Mundo Arc. It's just...so amazing. Very well done. I find it funny that they found every Captain and Vice Captain EXCEPT Byakuya. I bet he's gonna do something dramatic soon enough that'll heat up this Arc.

Well one Zanpaktou stayed with his Master. The one of the Captain-Commander, however, it was sealed away by other Zanpaktou.

If the arc continues this way, with the intresting story and good animation, it's going to be great.
This episode was really good - I'm enjoying this stuff way more than the usual Bleach.
