THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
It's the daddy strikes back episode of Bleach. Firstly, Ichigo's father a Shinigami and captain class to boot ... WTF! Although this now makes sense of how all his children can see hollows. Then Ishida's father comes back and saying how Ishida's powers were incomplete/amateur or something like that. All an all, an interesting episode. I can't wait to see Ichigo's reaction when he finds out (if he ever does) that his father is a Shinigami.

Ahh brilliant ... this arc got to the good stuff very quickly! What a great start - the two fathers and the introduction of Vizards and Arrancar. It feels like they have packed in so much, when other animes (naming no names :P) would take twice as long to do it.

I for one really like Ririn, Cloud and Nova, although I think they shouldn't be thrown into the episodes unnecessarily. Kon though is such a liability in Ichigo's body - I wouldn't trust him!

Ichigo is certainly getting himself noticed, he'd better be careful about this.

It was a good episode but kinda boring since the 3 extra mod-souls are in it . . . filler characters should only be in filler episodes.

Episode 111: WTF, Shinji has both a Hollow's Mask and a Soul Reaper's Zanpaktou?!

OMFG, Ichigo's dad is a Soul Reaper, and Uryuu's Dad still has his Quincy Powers? :O!!!!

Can't wait for Episodes 112 & 113, it sucks that I'll have to wait an extra week to see both because of Adult Swim airing that stupid G.I. Joe Movie.

I for one disliked the fact that they decided to carry the filler arc into the canon. Do they need to tie up loose ends? Of course. But they could have found a better way to do it without making future episodes convoluted with the mod souls crazy antics and Noba's annoying-because-it-saves-everyone-from-anything teleportation power. Hell they could have finally killed someone off(them) to at least give the impression that main characters can die, even if it isn't actually the case.

Overall the bit with Grand Fisher was to drawn out, I sighed with relief when Ichigo's father finally came our as expected and did the inevitable deed. Hopefully next week we'll actually get back to some action.

I don't see why people are so opposed to the other mod souls being in. It actually makes the filler eps feel more part of the story. If they've just done an arc of filler they might as well use the stuff they just did...

----

I'm guessing Ishida will accept but it's an interesting twist!
I guess Ichigo's dad being a shinigami explains some things, suprised he didn't say something to Grand Fisher like 'you killed my wife' and then strike him xD

FREAKING GAR.

He was hilarious before with his antics but, he's a powerful Shinigami as well? Oh man, am I glad I went from "on-hold" to "watching".

Its ironic how Ichigo's dad who acts so stupid all the time just happens to be a very powerful captain class Shinigami. Does that mean Ichigo has all these powers like being able to see spirits and stuff before he became a Shinigami from his dad.

Same here.

Epic episode, nonetheless. Both Ishida and Ichigo's fathers rule hard. Ishida's father is the last Quincy and Ichigo's father is ex-captain, hah.

I was waiting for so long to see the conclusion of the Grand Fisher case, but this way of executing it... I can't say I'm not disappointed.

Well I didn't expect this, first Uryuu's father back to action and now Ichigo's well that sure is interesting! So this arc will gather the parents of everyone perhaps?

Either way good episode, lets see what's next!

Ichigo's dad being a soul reaper, well the kids seeing hollows makes sense now. He is badass, he's better looking as a soul reaper and not looking like a dolt of a dad lol. Didn't think he would have been a captain

Plus Uryuu's dad doesn't think his powers were good enough, that's sad.

Arrancar's are the opposite of Vizards, hollows wanna be soul reapers and soul reapers wanna be hollows - or at least have their powers. Weird.

Good episode. I wonder why Uryuu's grandpa gave Uryuu's dad the Quincy cross instead of Uryuu? I also wonder if Uryuu will take the deal his father offered him. Ichigo's dad looks awesome as a soul reaper, plus hes a captain level soul reaper so I can finally take him seriously xD

We now understand why their family can see Hollows and spirits...and how come he has still Shinigami's power even though Byakuya removed Rukia's shinigami's power. That is what's bugging me the whole time, how did Urahara-san knows that Ichigo still has shinigami's power that was hidden back then when he's training? Maybe he knows too? About Ichigo's father? NOW I KNOW... hehe I wonder too if his sisters cam become Shinigami if they wanted too hehe.

Ichigo's father is soooooo BAD ASS!! I wonder what his reaction once he found out, not just Ichigo but all his friends and Soul Reapers! If he is a Shinigami, then theres a chance between him and Rukia??? HAHAHAHAA no way please.

His father is so sharp, he acts dumb but he's smart!! Is this what they call "the skilled hawk hides its talons" ?? Hehe
-----

Well I kinda suspected Uryu's father. Hehe that even though he doesnt like Quincies, he cant deny the power that he has. Im actually thinking on Bount arc, since Uryu lost his powers, they will kidnap his father and will use his powers and so on so on.. hehe just imagining hehe
