Thank you for posting the link!

This episode actually looks entertaining!:)

[Soranushi]

Thanks Zangetsu01:D

Yeah this episode was pretty entertaining and so far this filler arc has been better than the Bounto arc well not as boring:p. And anyway it seems that that Old guy overthrew Lurichiro and replaced her with a boy who looks kinda like a Kid ver. of Aizen:lmao. Another thing was that it was nice to see Yoruichi again she's barely in the series anymore:sad too bad its only filler though. Well thats all I have to say about it my overall score for the ep is a 8 out of 10.

[Matoucs]

OMG they didn't forget the mod souls lol !
The ep was entertaining...nothing special to add !

[Shinrin]

Much better then the past 2 weeks.
To be honest These Ninjas are growing on me, I actually find em pretty cool now, something the bounts had a hard time doing since they came from nothingness and was made into a threat to the entire SS.
This here only focusing upon a treachery within a noble family, and them not being overpowered at least this far make me glad.
The reiatsu battle was the typical power up battle, but been awhile since had something like this(was good with the crack it made in the orb)
Yoruichi turning up was interesting since She might know a thing or 2 about these fellas.
Aso Ichigo staying in Shikai really help toning them down which they should be.

The modsouls were in last week's episode albeit *very* briefly and they didn't say anything they just sorta stood there.

Just before Ichigo and Rukia head into the gate, you get an aerial shot of the scene. By Ishida's feet is Rinrin.

[Velius]

LOL. All the brats meet up finally. :XD

A filler arc isn't complete until the group meeting at Urahara's place.

The ninja fights are not doing a good job keeping my interest. :-_- Come on anime team, you can do better!

Yay Yoruichi! And Urahara in the same episode. It's been a while.

wow...it sure is dead around here today...

[Budo]

What I'm disappointed about is the guys who will play *the bad ass team* next week.

They look like stockpile anime villains.

[smacharia8]

the MP4 is now up : http://www.megaupload.com/?d=KVE0W4VL

[Weils]

Looks like the Kasumioji noble family is a rank lower than the 4 great noble families, according to Yoruichi. That means it's not a part of the big 4, but one of the lesser nobles that resides in Seireitei. Anyway this episode's not bad, at least it's better than Bounto arc.

I'm interested in those varied assassin villains that's going to appear next episode. It's been boring seeing those faceless henchmen besides Hanza. I wonder if they will be one-off types who die after one match with our heroes or live to fight another day.

[Pollux]

Thanks for all the links.
The episode was ok, nothing less, nothing more. Perhaps the new bad guys' arrival will make it more interesting.
The Arrancar Encyclopedia was fun, especially when Szayel offers a "sphere" to Gin. However, I dislike the fact that Szayel eating his Fraccions has been censored. I understand why, though.

[Shdo]

well, its seems that bleach was censored for a long time, remeber when gin cut the gate keeper arm? in the manga it was totaly severed, making the whole 'orihime saves his life' a little more logical.


need to get the subbed version.

[CeriaHalcyon]

I was confused by the part when Ichigo's reiatsu was pouring out of him, but since he wasnt in bankai, why was it bankai colored?

Yeah yoruichi coming in was nice, and it showed some recognition on the part of the enemy but it was a prime spot for Shirosaki to emerge... which made the moment fail.

:yay for new enemies and no more nameless losers

Why was there no dramatic introduction of Urahara and Yoruichi to the noble guards? :cry

Yeah, i was thiknking the same, the whole "move" part was alot like bya's fight, but if they used shiro, then they would of fucked everything up cause it would be his second apearence, shame though, would of been kickass to see him aswell :cool:

[CeriaHalcyon]

and yeah, since ichigo has mastered shiro for the moment, it wouldnt exactly be right...

but i noticed another irregularity, why didnt chad's arm have the shield? It did the first time he used it this time around with all the hollows in the sky.

[McDoogle]

im not sure, maybe he can control whether or not he wants to use it as a shield, like a shinigami can decide on using shikai or bankai etc.

[smacharia8]

First off I'd just like to say that Yoruichi with a flat ass and crappy use of shunpo is not my idea of a good scenery.

Secondly, Chad discovered the shield and the devil's arm in HM. The filler is supposed to take place in between Ichigo overcoming Ogichi and Orihime's abduction. So basically, everyone's training or has already trained...Which is probably why Rukia and Orihime decide to team up and fight together.

That's a little more disappointing then, when i saw during one of the initial episodes, when it appeared as though chad had the full right arm, i thought that everyone had their full canon powers...

which means we're probably not going to see any vizard action this time around on the part of ichigo :cry

One more thing, when ichigo started fighting that mirror sword guy, why didnt he use bankai? Bankai should be something to use everytime, to illustrate whether or not an opponent has no chance in hell.

[The Cool]

Thanks for the links smacharia8 :D

[igniz]

Nice episode, the plot is moving an we get some action, really strange weapons these ninjas got, I wonder if they are zanpakutos, the gross tentacle thingy seems to be something special, really curious to hear more about this.

One more thing, when ichigo started fighting that mirror sword guy, why didnt he use bankai? Bankai should be something to use everytime, to illustrate whether or not an opponent has no chance in hell.No need for Ichigo to go vizard with these worthless characters...but he most likely will, somewhere close to the end of this filler arc.

The retarded part is that he can dodge a swing from Byakuya, yet he can't shunpo away from a sword that slowly starts shining. Also, Ichigo won't be using bankai until this guy comes up with some other powerup that leaves Ichigo with no choice but to go bankai. Even though he didn't use bankai, there's no denying that the guy was pathetic in the first place, making the use of bankai quite dumb IMO.

Also, is it just me or was anyone else wondering why Ichigo didn't just say ban-kai and release, instead of trying to release alot of reiatsu? His bankai is like Grimjow's release (almost like a huge explosion) so wouldn't that be more than enough to destroy that crappy sword?


@Cool: no prob dude.


@igniz: those ninja-like dudes are not using zanpakutos, obviously. As the guy said, those thingies attach themselves to the user and absorb their energy to power up.

yeah, i no what u mean, as regards to the strenth perspective with ichigo, its gone all hair wire when it comes to fillers and even in the manga later on. How he seems to be able to beat bya, but not be able to mop the floor with this guy... he doesnt even have shiro interveaning anymore, infact he can use shiro to make himself stronger, so theres no excuse.

I think if they want to make the whole ichigo fighting thing more realistic and put things back into perspective, then he needs to stop using bankai every enemy he gets (INCLUDING HOLLOW) and the enemies have to have real weapons, not mirrors. It feels to me like hes holding back, letting himself get hurt and beaten, weve seen what he can do, they just wont let him use it. If u have alook at the cannon fights, the good ones, his techniuq has some consistancy in it and he looks half decent fighting, here he just looks slobish and doesnt know how to handle a sword, there was once where he looked decent in this episode i think.

[Shinrin]

pathetic?

The Ninjas ain't pathetic, It's just cause were comparing them to People that are low seated lvl.
An Elephant is small compared to a blue whale, but it is still a large animal.

Anyway I really like these Ninja guys mainly cause they do get owned like this, yet they still do have weird tricks up there sleeves.
A tiny group of mercenaries should not be considered a match for an entire realms fire power.

And Ichi only Using Shikai makes me like the fillers, Where the Bountos were overpowered to no end and everyone fighting them depowered here, they at least seem to still be powerfull and the new opponents just having tricks.

Also thx for the link to the dd

[Miss Lolita]

I don't know if this comment is appropriate for this thread, so I'll spoiler tag it.

What was with that weird place Ichigo was trapped in? It looked like he was having an acid trip or something.

Loved the ending, lol.

[genit]

I'm still angry about these fillers,they've disrupted the HM arc which is only the second best arc next to the FIRST SC arc, but we are learning more about one of the 4 noble families ,we already know the Kuchiki, Yourichi's and now Kasumi-Ooji, big whoop!

Kasumioji isn't one of the 4 great noble families, its rank is lower than them in status according to Yoruichi this episode. Did you see how Lurichiyo shows more respect to Rukia upon hearing that her surname's Kuchiki in an earlier episode?

The studio had to disrupt the HM arc, it was too close to the current manga arc and it's pretty much their fault that they should have set this filler before Orihime was kidnapped. Although this filler is pretty good so far.

[La`Punyeta]

Moar Ninjas...this episode is looking like Naruto(w/ zanpaktous) vs Bleach..lol...

ok episode btw...lots of characters are back...but what's the point of putting the 3 dolls there?? are they ninja detectors now??

[genit]

So the old man wants control of the Kasumi-Ooji clan, thus electing the princess's fiancé to the throne, which after he took out all of whom opposed his decision, what on earth is he thinking of ? I know this is suppose to be a sinister plot to over throw the family, but wouldn't it have been much better to our [the audience] relief that the old man took over the throne, claiming to be capable to run the family/clan due to his unceremonious experience in the field ?

This is a horrible cliché, but I must admit this, this filler arc is better than the bounto's arc, I mean wtf was that all about ?

[Hiraga]

This is a horrible cliché, but I must admit this, this filler arc is better than the bounto's arc, I mean wtf was that all about ?

True, but the arc I don't understand what it's about is this arc...

And I think its animation is horrible... Maybe I'll finish watching these fillers... I hated the last epi, especially Ichigo's fight scene... :(

[bradc]

Is it just me??? The arc seems to be going by faster... I love the Omake with Arrancar Encyclopedia... At least it was back to regular program of the show...

[zero_squad]

I liked the episode, it was nice
This filler arc is nice after all

The Arrancar Encyclopedia was so cool
And in the episode, Rinrin, Nova and Cloud show up, long time I don't se them

[MOF^^]

OOC characters.
And yes,cliche.SOOO cliche and unKubo-ish.Even if he liked cliche,he knows how to use it.The anime team just sucks in doing this.And it's the same as the Bount arc.
If you don't like fillers then don't watch is crap.People want to watch.But Hueco Mundo,not this idiotic fights and a story with no plot right now.Ichigo couldn't fight against that man with the purple hair when he could easily defeat him.He defeated KENPACHI for God's sake! What the hell is this?
And Orihime.She hasn't fought and killed in the manga,Kubo probably was planning to make her first killing and defeating of somebody epic and interesting and what now?She killed for like seconds some filler characters.The Bount arc was terrible too,Orihime went to Ichigo's room in some filler episode.And in 141,she said that is the first time she is in his room?Gosh.At least if they want fillers,they should match the story.
I love them for creating Senna but they have no talent.
If they do something to Rukia after what they did to Ichi and Hime's fights,I'm gonna kill myself XP

[igniz]

huh, Inoue actually killed a hollow at the beginning of the manga (ch 43), so it's not her first time :p
Plus she did not kill any ninja,the only ninja who was killed by a hero so far is the one killed by Kenpachi, every other one committed suicide after their defeat but were not killed while fighting.
Note that bad guys killing themselves is a cheap shonenish trick to keep the hands of good characters clean.
