Upcoming episodes and dates.

[Velius]

Thanks for the new titles Weils. :D Looks like the same old thing for a while. But what is this?....

Ichigo is trapped in another dimension due to Hanza's trap. There, Kurosaki Masaki, Ichigo's mother makes her appearance.
Oh you sly anime team. What will you think of next.

[Maianarisa]

Thanks Weils!

I just totally LOLed at the episode description of 179. Kenpachi and Mayuri opposing it. XD

[La`Punyeta]

Ichigo is trapped in another dimension due to Hanza's trap. There, Kurosaki Masaki, Ichigo's mother makes her appearance.

The trapping in another dimensions Sounds VERY familliar to me.....
*cough*Ulquiorra*cough*

Ichigo's mommy?? is this a clue in the manga too?? sometimes some filler episode reveals some clues on what's going to happen in the manga...

[Velvet Rose]

Thanks so much for posting this, Weils. All of the titles have me intrigued, but I can’t wait to see 177 and 179. Rukia will be in action and there appears to be a dispute occurring, between Shuusuke Amagai with the other captains. This arc continues to become more interesting. :)

[Tatsuki]

Whoa!!!
Another Masaki illusion???? This will be the second time this series used the shounen cliche of "the main character needs to defeat/overcome an illusion of his own mother."

Is it a Freudian thing or a Shounen thing? So far, I've seen it in at least 4 series.

(Parasyte, Full Metal Alchemist, InuYasha and Bleach, please feel free to add to my list if you can think of any more examples!)

That said, I am totally looking forward to ep 178! And to Ep 179, too, because Amagai is growing on me! I loved ep 172!

[Budo]

^ Thrown in Neon Genesis Evangelion there as well.

[La`Punyeta]

wow...so the future episodes will mostly take place on SS..

nice....This filler arc keeps geting better...
thx for the updates weils

[hidden rage]

It seems like Kibune is a big traitor based on 183 and based on the new animation in the OP, interesting.


Anyways, how much longer will they go, it seems to be speeding up a little bit..

[ForteAnly]

So still no sign of fillers ending huh. I haven't watched the fillers since they began. Would you guys recommend watching them or just wait till the original material comes back?

[Amagi Shusuke]

Yes, i appear fear me.

[Aalicia]

So still no sign of fillers ending huh. I haven't watched the fillers since they began. Would you guys recommend watching them or just wait till the original material comes back?

At least for me, fillers or not, all Bleach characters are interesting to keep track of. Besides, the animators tend to relate the filler content to the manga based content anyway (Karya showing on Ichigo's inner fight with the hollow, the permanence of the 3 mod souls throughout the HM arc, Ichigo and Rukia talking about the Bount events while Ichigo was being held by Rukia's gigai possessed by a very Pyon complexed Chappy, so on and so forth).

[bankaiboy22]

Yeah THAtS WhAT I HATED!!!! HOW THEY TALKED ABOUT THE BOUNTS IN CANON ARC.... I HATED THAT!! IT WAS AWEFUL. AND THE MOD SOULS NEED TO GO!!!!

[DarkPulsar]

I don't expect the fillers to go on for too much longer. It seems like there are 26 episodes per season, with 13 episodes with each ending. I reckon then we have about 10 or 11 episodes left of this filler before we get back to canon. It could go on longer obviously, the bounto stuff did, but the way things are picking up lately kinda leads me to think that perhaps they're beginning to maybe wrap up the arc.

[Mechz]

Funny, it seems to me like it'll take another season to wrap it up.

It takes an extremely long amount of time for *anything* to get done in Bleach. :S

Or rather, I'm kind of hoping it'll last longer. Canon is getting bland.

Oh, sweet!!!! New eppie on my birthday!!! :D Hope it's good....*crosses fingers*

[pinoy rules1]

Gaaah I done like this filler. Hope they get back to the real story.

[Kira]

Dunno if someone already posted this in the forum, but... According to that announce of Carddass:

http://i36.tinypic.com/2r63691.jpg

Fillers will end in October.
I really don't know if this is good or not, 'cause, soon or later, they will be back.

[Isaiah1989]

I like this filler (Amagai is the S*&^!!!! IMO), but I really want to get back to the main storyline and see how well the animation team brings the moments in the manga to the anime.

[Soranushi]

Cool thanks for the heads up Kira about the fillers:thumbs.

Anyway its not a big shocker that it ends in October I kinda expected that. But still I was kinda hoping they'd go a bit longer 'cause like Kira said we'll get fillers again later. So since we'll get them again I think the best filler spot would be an extended Turn Back the pendulum Anime arc.

[Black Dahlia]

Hmmm, it now makes sense why Stitch the anime will be taking over Bleach's timeslot on October. They might move Bleach to a much better timeslot I suppose since the continuation of HM is gonna increase viewership again...I hope.

[Darkcountessb]

*runs around screaming* Yes just in time for my birthday! :love Thank you for the info.

[CeriaHalcyon]

WTF why are both the manga and the anime taking a week off...

that's just wrong on so many levels...

but i can't wait for episode 185 :yay hitsugaya's gonna get owned by amagai, i can't wait.

[Velius]

but i can't wait for episode 185 :yay hitsugaya's gonna get owned by amagai, i can't wait.
You best be kidding. :hm No way everyones favorite little hero will lose. He's too popular. :lmao

Thanks for the info about the fillers. Just in time for the new opening too. Who would have thought! :D

He's my least favorite, so i can't wait to see him get pwned by Amagai :yay

[Velius]

Well then there is something wrong with you because everyone loves hitsu. :hm :D lol.

[vaizado]

Well then there is something wrong with you because everyone loves hitsu. :hm :D lol.

Im actually sick of him. I lol'd so hard when Aizen pwned him. :rotflmao

[CeriaHalcyon]

Well then there is something wrong with you because everyone loves hitsu. :hm :D lol.

No, i just can't stand his grumpy attitude, and the fact that mr. elite genius always get's his ass handed to him, and his only wins were due to luck. I could rant until i go insane but i don't feel like it

Aizen needs to finish the job, and do it soon :mwhaha

a bleach without hitsugaya would be a beautiful thing :D

[stark espada]

Im actually sick of him. I lol'd so hard when Aizen pwned him. :rotflmao

That was my screen saver for a bit :lmao I really want him to get pwned more often :wha and this fight should be a good pwnage but why are they fighting I'm sure ichigo is plenty strong enough to beat him.

Hohoho, so many people want Hitsugaya to be pwned :lmao
I'm another one who wants the same, go, go, go Amagai xD

[Kaori Machida]

I'm so disappointed. Here I was, waiting for this week's episode to come out, only to discover there is no episode this week. I'm so into the anime right now, at first I didn't like these fillers too much but now I think they are awesome. I want to see Kira kick some butt! I'm so disappointed that I have to wait another whole week. T_T

[CeriaHalcyon]

I second that Kaori, T_T

fire will always beat ice, so amagai's a sure bet :learn

[Aalicia]

fire will always beat ice

Except on X-Men...

[Kaori Machida]

Ceria: Heh. Though I wonder why those two are going to fight. I really like Amagai though, I think he is a wonderful captain and I'd like to see him be added into the main storyline, but yeah, I want to see Amagai kick butt too. (plus, I've never been too fond of Captain Crumpy Pants Hitsugaya XD ) I guess the theories will continue to fly. Between me and a friend, we've discussed so many things about Kifune XD

[Velius]

Pshhhhh. Please. Hitsu isn't much more hyped or lucky plot wise then Rukia or Ichigo. Stop hatin. :hm People wouldn't even dare say those kind of statements about those two. Put it together...

[CeriaHalcyon]

Pshhhhh. Please. Hitsu isn't much more hyped or lucky plot wise then Rukia or Ichigo. Stop hatin. :hm People wouldn't even dare say those kind of statements about those two. Put it together...

What i hate about hitsugaya is that he's given so much time on page and screen, when i want to see other captains and see them have plot development,

I think Kyoraku and Nanao should've gone to earth in the vizard arc, with kyoraku chasing all the cute school girls it would've been hilarious, and then nanao is always beating him up :urahara

Or komamura, in a gigai that makes him look human, Have byakuya come down to earth, or any other non 10th division captain, soifon could pass for a teenaged girl, there were so many other possibilities, and just to go with captain (popular for some odd reason) grumpy pants really soured that part of bleach for me.

[Aalicia]

Have byakuya come down to earth

I'm with you on that one, specially if he also brings a soul candy that says Pyon! ^^

[vaizado]

[I][FONT="Trebuchet MS"]What i hate about hitsugaya is that he's given so much time on page and screen, when i want to see other captains and see them have plot development,


That's because of japanese girls going crazy over the cliched generic kid genius with white hair.

Which is why I hate certain characters; their fanbase.

Good point. But please don't bash Toushirou. I like him. Boy Genius who has a lot of his past to see. But you're right about having other captains grab the limelight. :D. I wanna see Komamura other than the dog gigai he was given in some funny Bleach shinigami's cup that I forgot which episode was from.

Yeah, i guess i don't hate him personally, it's just the rampant usage of him, when others need limelight, and are getting dusty just sitting on the shelf.

That's why i want Amagai to win, so we'll get to see other captains in action, and while we won't see any new bankai's just getting to see Komamura's again would be awesome.

[La`Punyeta]

woaw...thought this was a thread about upcoming dates for episodes..:lmao

I bet most of you will watch the 2nd movie because of the other characters and not because of hitsugaya.. :lmao

and my prediction about the amagai vs hitsugaya...it's gonna be draw..good guy vs good guy always results to a draw in bleach..

[directX07]

hi LP!!! Love the pic by the way.

YOU KNOW WHICH CAPTAIN I HATE THE MOST??!!!

Shigekuni Yamamoto-Genryuusai. The old fart just doesn't have enough sound judgment to be a leader and he's DEAF to reason whenever he comes to a conclusion (which are very quickly thought of, by the way)

who agrees?

Nah. It's okay. I'm not Toushirou anyway. I can't unleash Hyourinmaru on you. Haha. Kidding. :lmao

[flower]

:offtopic I haven't visited this thread for while... when did it become the character-bashing thread? C'mon people, let's show some love, like DirectX07 just did. :hug

who agrees?

I agree, the old man is repeatedly asked to investigate the nobles, i forget their name? but he says no, like a brainless idiot.

[Aalicia]

who agrees?

Until I know exactly WHY he doesn't want the family investigated, I'm reserving my judgement.

Ep 188.. Climax of the arc, this got to be epic.
Ep 189.. Amagai dies? and some talking blabla just like the end of the Bount assault on SS arc.. I think.

What a torture, to wait extra weeks before the return of Canon material.. anyway thanks Weils for the info. :)

[daisekihan]

I got something like "Karma Flame Shell" for the kanji of Gouenkaku. The flame shell part at least seems to fit his shikai, some perhaps the bankai is anything similar.

192. "The Secret of Nel" (堕ネルの秘密) October 28th

[daisekihan]

192 is "Neru no himitsu", so I think it probably means "The Secret of Nel" rather than "The Secret of Flannel"

[totalNightmare]

You're right, damn me.

[ninhoic]

well, im gonna have to watch the nel episode. in fact, might watch all the post filler episodes.

[Rasziel]

191. "Szayel Aporro's Theater" (堕ザエルアポロ劇場) October 21th

A whole month before Szayel's comeback :-_-

Oh well, guess I'll start watching the Canon series now

[vaizado]

Man. As good as canon coming back is, I cant help not liking this. Considering how close the anime is still and the only chapters in that gap are FIGHTING chapters. Everyone knows how the studio likes to eat up through action chapters in one episode. This canon part wont last long.

[totalNightmare]

We'll have to see how they'll manage with the flashback arc in the anime.

Wonder when Byakua will come by in the episodes..
They'll hafta handle 3 fights (Zaraki vs Noi, Mayuri vs Szayel, Byakua vs Zommari ) wud :love if they show them parallel rather than one after the other ...

[totalNightmare]

190 might as well be a recap of what has happened until now in Hueco Mundo.

[Raf]

Wow I thought they'd be smart enough to do the Pendulum arc before resuming Hueco Mundo. That way it wouldn't be so chopped up. I mean they could put that arc at any place of the Hueco Mundo arc. I bet they are going to do another filler right before this.

[Suiqu]

Gah, I'm so glad they're finally going back to the main story-line. D: I will definitely mark my calendar for the date episode 190 comes out. :lmao

[La`Punyeta]

Glad 190 is HM arc...I thought it was on 191 :yay

recap episode..I guess it's a compilation of the fights on the 1st part of HM up to GJ vs Ichigo fight.

[eddy26]

I'm glad the anime is heading back to Hueco Mundo but how exactly are they going to transition to it. After Ichigo defeated GJ and grabbed him by the arm so he fell softly on the ground they did this whole Ichigo holding Orihime's hand romantic moment. Nnoitra is coming to slice Ichigo and GJ like in the manga. So in the first episode is GJ going to just jump up and get slashed by Nnoitra I just didn't like that whole little romantic thing they did before the filler arc started.

Oh is this Dolly Ishida???? I want one of those...:love best thing Szayel ever made, evil, but so CUUUUUTE.

Guess Nel's "secret" ain't so secret, huh? :lmao

[CeriaHalcyon]

Most likely they'll pull a Kakashi Gaiden and never show us the pendilum arc :cry

[Soranushi]

@Ceria: I doubt they'll do that since the TBTP Arc is needed for the anime, I mean seriously if they take out that arc they potentially lose 6eps or possibly 12eps(if they stretch it out). Also if they continue the anime on the 2chapters per ep basis the rest of the HM arc will end by ep15 and the turn back arc should be the last half of the season. Then there should be fillers again......anyway I just think it would be unwise of the anime studio to take out the Turn Back arc.

[GreenBlack]

AWESOME SZAYEL EPISODE. I wonder if there will be another Nnoi v Nell episode or if it ends on the 28th..hmm...

THEY BETTER DO THE PENDULUM ARC! It's my dream that they do fillers in it so I can see Aizen and Shinji ship with Hanatarou's mom.

[HichiLover]

I hope they show it too. (hi, i'm a n00b)

[daisekihan]

Oh is this Dolly Ishida???? I want one of those...:love best thing Szayel ever made, evil, but so CUUUUUTE.


I wonder if Pesche will be able to hold onto the Uryuu and Renji dolls now that Szayel is toast.

[flower]

I wonder if Pesche will be able to hold onto the Uryuu and Renji dolls now that Szayel is toast.

:rotflmaoOh, Lordy.... I read that and suddenly envisioned Pesche dropping the dolls, freaking out, and stopping down to try and pick up all the little pieces... hilarity ensues (you know...accidentally stepping on them, mixing up Renji's & Ishida's parts, etc.)

[eeoralis1]

i'm glad the fillers are over but i'm not looking forward to the Pricesses' fight until Mayuri shows up, I can't wait for him to tell pricess that he's going to stuff him in a bottle :heehee

[totalNightmare]

By the new OP, and the Vizards appearence, they're definately going to anime the Pendulum arc. :)

[Kastro187420]

Lets hope so. The TBTP arc was rather good and would suck if it wasn't animated in where it should be.

[flower]

Agreed. General awesomeness of the arc put aside-- who doesn't want to see kiddie Byakuya and Shuuhei? :wha

By the new OP, and the Vizards appearence, they're definately going to anime the Pendulum arc. :)
:h5

[optics]

I don't see why they wouldn't throw TBTP in the anime, wasn't it already obvious when the first chapter of TBTP was released. Why would they want to leave out detail and lessen the gap between anime and manga.

[eeoralis1]

i just need to complain for a second what was with the no blood grimmjow, after noi attcked. Just a couple episodes ago when relased kitty was fighting ichigo, ichigo sliced him and we had great blood splatter....

I just don't understand anime censoring... :confused:

[angels_gal]

they're definately going to anime the Pendulum arc. :)
*Twitch* oooh gosh! I can't wait for the pendulum arc. :D There are so many perfect moments in there that I wish to see come to life. more importantly I want to see Byakuya as a kid. one thing to read it in the manga but it's another to see it come ot life :D can't WAIT!

[hidden rage]

They seem like they are indeed going to animate TBTP arc but I think the better question to ask is if they will animate the one shot Hitsugaya flashback chapter

[CeriaHalcyon]

Animating the pendilum arc does make sense from a season extending point of view.

But i thought that Kakashi Gaiden was as plot relevant as Pendilum and yet they did not animate it. maybe they're saving it for a time later in the future, but letting us know would be nice also.

I can't wait to see all the vizard captains in their original form :fangirl

they need to fill the gaps in the shinigami ranks even if they have to make the gotei 18 to make all of the vizards captains.

[totalNightmare]

*Looks at Kakashi Gaiden and hopes the same won't happen here*

Actually, Kakashi Gaiden wasn't so important to the overall plot as the TBTP arc is. It does have some key plot scenes but nothing much. But I still wanted to see it animated, and hope they will do it in the future.

A one chapter anime ep isn't gonna fly, unless they stretch out that chapter a bit.

Don't get me wrong though, I'd still love to see it.

[Lady Scaper]

Thank you very much !!! :D

[eddy26]

I wonder what 197's title is going to be since the shinigami cup showed that Hanatarou is going to get air time. If you follow the manga then of course you know that a certain captain is going to be fighting an espada that episode. What I want to know is if the captain battles are going to go in order. They switched the order in the anime when Rukia fought Aaroniero before Uryuu and Chad had their battles. In the manga it went Ishida, Chad, and then Rukia. That's why I'm interested in the titles after 197.

[Kastro187420]

They're probably holding off releasing the titles for those episodes so that they don't spoil the surprise appearances. It would be nice to know though the order they'll do those battles in. I know at least one battle that will be the last one.. just not sure on the others.

Judging by the title of ep 197 then Zommari will probably say bye bye on that episode :XD

[flower]

Thanks for the update Weils, I can't believe we are already going to be watching the captain fights in the anime. It doesn't seem like so long ago when they were first published.

It wasn't so long ago... I hope this doesn't mean 4-6 months of fillers in early '09. :(

Or maybe... it was that long ago. Kubo's been dragging things out so badly, he's made about a couple of hours' worth of action stretch out into a friggin' year!!

[Fonsje]

might have been stomach acid. it's colorless and clear.

and in general, they might not be straight up whole episodes. as in they'll just focus on Byakuya in one episode. i think i remember one of the manga chapters ending after he did his Bankai attack. so the episode might end there and continue in the next episode... like half of it for Byakuya and the other half for Mayuri's fight. this is in reference to somewhere else i read about Byakuya's fight being done in one episode. but anyway... interesting. they're moving along very fast as usual and there doesn't seem to be any breaks in between with the old one week on, one week off. hmmm.

You'd still vomit blood as well as stomach acid since he literally crushed it.

[DranzerX13]

I bet that the Back to the Pendulum episodes will start at episode 202. It will probably last 2 episodes at max.

[Hanyuu]

The 'Turn back the Pendulum' arc in 2 episodes? Come on; be a little reasonable it is after all 12 chapters…

[Kastro187420]

The 'Turn back the Pendulum' arc in 2 episodes? Come on; be a little reasonable it is after all 12 chapters…

They could always release it as a 2-part mini-movie I guess that covers all the chapters. 6 Chapters per "movie". That would actually be pretty good in my opinion... This way it doesn't get sliced up as much, and we only gotta wait for 2 parts rather than 6 parts (assuming 2 chapters per episode).

[DranzerX13]

You could show 2 episodes in 12 chapters.

Episodes 10, 20 were 6 chapters each. SIX CHAPTERS!!! and you're saying you can't show 12 chapters in 2 episodes. They've done it before and they can do it again.

[Hanyuu]

What do you mean…unless the animation team cuts certain parts out, an average episode uses about two manga chapters…They do not want the anime to catch up with the manga so it would make sense if they try to darg it out a little instead of cutting, ne? Based on the material they have I was only giving you an estimate…

[SuirenShinju]

does anyone know why the japanese refuse to air re-runs? because I'm so sick of all these fillers. I just know there's gonna need to be another filler arc. I don't want it anymore than y'all do but seriously Japan!

Reruns do not kill people!

Of course at least with fillers you get something new... but it still makes-a-me angry! RAWR. *eats Studio Pierrot*

Lookin' forward to seein' Mayuri an' Nemu btw. Neliel vs Nnoitra was aweshum. An' now Ken-chan will crush the mantis man. Muwahaha! Ken-chan's insanity is all powerful! *bows*

[Enth]

Episodes 10, 20 were 6 chapters each.

That was back when there was plenty of Manga material to work with. At the moment though, the Manga material is dangerously low. I don't see how you seem to think they will definitely use 6 chapters per episode for the Pendulum Arc?

Averaging 3 chapters each it'll be 4 episodes, but I imagine stretching out some scenes somewhat would bring it to 5 episodes. If it's more than that I'd be surprised.

[Soranushi]

I'm betting that the turn back arc is gonna be filler'd up a bit stretching it into 9-11 eps all together since Aizen's reappearance should happen by ep 14or15 of this season. Then the fillers should start again:-_-.

[tsuki-hime]

Guyzs, I heard that on November 23, 3 consecutive episodes of Bleach will be aired.. (ep. 196, 197, 198) is it official guys?? because I can't find info about this on bleach websites..

[DranzerX13]

I don't see studio Pirrot making the pendulam arc more than 4 episodes. I mean...Ichigo is the main character and main characters are in like 98% of episodes. There has been a few an exceptional amount of episodes he wasn't in.

[Hanyuu]

I see were you're coming from but...why shouldn't studio Pierrot at least follow the manga script, there are other characters besides Ichigo and the TBTP arc will be a breath of fresh air in my opinion.

[athensis]

Isnt this confirmed? Unless theres a sudden change to the airing dates, i dont think there will be a triple-episode today.. Though it'll be wayy cool, but with the shortage of manga chapters as it is, i also dont think they'll set the releases this way..

[tsuki-hime]

oh, I see, but I saw from our Ichiruki club (posted by sketchbaka i think) that there is a highlighted portion in the post where it says that 3 episodes will be aired today. Well, I guess t.v Tokyo has changed their mind for that.. XD

[Zenon]

If they don't put fillers in the middle, TBTP Arc will last 5 or 6 episodes for sure.

[Starky]

From reading ep titles Zommari will be dead within 2 episodes, prob 1 and a half.

[hankster176]

I'm really hoping they produce the same quality animation for the captain's fights as they did for GJ vs ichigo. And hopefully the pendulum arc does last 5 or 6 episodes, because i'm not ready for more fillers they just ended:(

[Skip00]

All up, if they keep using 2 chapters per episode, there are 25 episodes left untill the Anime catches up with the manga (chapters 298-335). Even though that means another 25 chapters, the anime will be too close...
They're either going to slice fillers into the TBTP arc or have fillers after it... I hope not though...
And as Hankster said, the animation for these upcoming captain fights better be good!!! *Shakes fist menecingly*

Any word if they're skipping a certain arc that's coming up?

[Enth]

Cheers for teh info ^^

Ep 200 shouldn't be when Spoon-o is defeated, unless that episode is really compact. Ep 201 should be the kendo twist. Either way I'm looking forward to 199 and 200 so damn much (: Extremely excited...

At least he went out swinging/on his own terms. As well as having one of the best/coolest/battle-adept release forms, aside from Grimmjow.

[IHATECLOUD]

I'm going to smash my fist into the computer on Episode 200 probably when I see it. Hopefully his release form will be as beautiful as it is in the manga, along with his death.
I'm looking forward to the fight with Szayel and Mayuri as well, when Mayuri snaps his blade off is when I'm going to drown in my own drool.

For you US fans, on May 9th of 2009, that is supposedly when Ulquiorra and Yammy arrive in Karakura. Now all I need to do is see how bad they screw up all of the Espada's voices, and how bad they screw up Nnoitra and Tesla's voice.

OMG you just know poor Ulquiorra is going from a Japanese espada to somehow being of British decent and British accent, like sherlock holmes all analytic, and Yammy will get some retarded-voice since he's so dumb.

On that date May 9,2009, I'm skeptical because we had a break after the first 52 episodes, they might do the same after episode 104=52+52

[Ravishing]

Well, if they keep the voices from the English video games, Ulquiorra will be done by Steven Jay Blum, the same VA who did Spike in Cowboy Bebop and Mugen in Samurai Champloo. Too gruff of a voice, imo...Ulquiorra needs to sound both manly and pretty at the same time =\

[IHATECLOUD]

You do have a point there. He also did the voice of Vincent Valentine from Final Fantasy Seven: Advent Children, along with various FF7 spin-offs. So his voice shouldn't be TOO bad.

@DTK: Well, I believe that the reason was because Adult Swim started showing One Piece, or some other anime that was more popular with Americans than Bleach at the time, seeing as they're just now starting the Bount Arc. (SOMEONE KILL ME!) So hopefully, we can end the Bount Arcs very quickly and move on to the Hueco Mundo arc, which is when I will probably wet myself during episode 153, cause then Szayel's going to sound like some gay faggot from Family Guy. Luppi's going to be even worse though.

Ah well, I'll go watch 198 right now in it's RAW version, and still try to understand at least half of it. All I need is My Japanese Coach for the Nintendo DS, and then I can watch all the RAW Bleach episodes I want. :noes

Mine is Animax Asia, but I have never seen long-running anime like Bleach and Naruto ever shown on the channel. The ones that can only come close are: Yu Yu Hakusho and Samurai X. I don't know about other Animax region channels though. My cable company shows Naruto on Toonami, then Bleach on a Chinese channel with dubbing.

203 "100 years ago"
"Hyaku-nen kako" January 20, 2008

Those from wikipedia are the only ones without kanji.
They are most likely edited by a bleach-hating troll.

Weils is the only one who posts the true episode titles from ANN.

[GreenBlack]

Yeah the title makes me curious? Especially since it goes from Nnoitra releasing, which lasts for 3 chapters? Wouldn't there be more Nnoi in 202?

[Death the Kid]

Yes, there is more to Nnoitra's release and defeat, they cannot compress that and jump to Aizen's departure to Nise Karakura-cho.

[totalNightmare]

Those titles are fake.

[Death the Kid]

Those titles are fake.

As predicted, the lack of Kanji titles screamed fake.

well, 203 could be right since chapter 315 was kind of that. don't want to give much away, but it kind of had that huge page at the end (the HUGE tease). what surprised me was 204's title. i expected something like TBtP arc or filler. so it might be the latter.

lol@ Aizen vs. Shinigami.

that's such a broad title.

geez i hope this doesn't mean no TBTP arc. Its so integral to the plot unless they add it later on, there would be a lot of explaining to do.

Hope they'll make the "shinigami" :) scene from 203 look awesome, i mean with great anymation and design even for the little moment we see the "shinigami".

Seppuku (切腹, Seppuku? "stomach-cutting") is a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. Seppuku was originally reserved only for samurai. Part of the samurai honor code, seppuku was used voluntarily by samurai to die with honor rather than fall into the hands of their enemies, as a form of capital punishment for samurai who have committed serious offenses, and for reasons that shamed them.

(from wiki; i was curious too and went to check the meaning..)

That said, before i knew the meaning the title sounds very for comic relief and filler-ish, but ritual suicide..?? :headscratch

Thanks Athensis for the definition !
Well it adds more to the weirdness of the title...filler maybe ?

Can somebody please confirm if Bleach is going to fillers? What the TBTP arc?

What the TBTP arc?

I hope I understand your question well and will try to give a rather vague answer in order not to spoil the surprise if is animated. Turn Back the Pendulum (TBtP) is a short arc which was published after the end of the Hueco Mondo arc and which takes place in the past.

The vizards appearance in the OP is proof enough that we'll see the TBtP arc animated. Chances are the Seppuku episode will be more akin to a single-episode filler, like the thing with Karin and Don Kanonji back in the S.S. arc. Anime don't usually switch to fillers mid-season, do they?
