That was actually a good episode. Bleach hasn't been what it used to be for ages, but it still has its good moments from time to time. Hopefully it doesn't end after Aizen, that would suck.

4/5. Not perfect but pretty damn good.

Question: How many more mutations does Aizen have left in him.. cause I've lost count. Seriously. "Fear me, for I am Butterfly Man!"


LMFAO Couldn't have put it better myself. Butterfly wings... seriously?! LMFAO Least threatening villain costume ever. He looks like that privaron espada chick that Ishida fought. Anyone else think Aizen's new outfit looks stupid?

Epic facepalm! I thought Aizen was going to piss himself. Loved it when he was going on and on about how powerful he is, when my guess is that the reason he can't sense Ichigo's power is the same as the reason why Isshin and Urahara couldn't sense Aizen's reiatsu a few episodes back; at least that's my guess, haven't read this far in the manga so I could be wrong. I never thought that Ichigo was shmexy til now, fucking LOVE the hair and ripped arm!

Anyone else feel that Ichigo's new training went too fast? Maybe they are going to flash back to it, but I wanted to see more of the Tensa/Hichigo combo. I guess they thought it would give away too much info on Ichigo's new powers.

PS. Poor Kon, he is in serious trouble.

WOW... Just... WOW.
Animation was (almost) perfect, especially when Aizen vs Ichigo crossed their swords.
Loved the music when Ichigo showed up.
Aizen's faces and emotions... His seiyuu... PERFECT. <3
Almost cried at Gin. Rangiku's crying made it even worse. I'm glad they used words from preview of 307 episode. ;w; Sad, it wasn't in manga.
Whatever, 5/5!!

That was something...INCREDIBLE!
I'm still speechless..think this ep was even more epic than Ichi vs Ulquiorra.
AT LAST there were NO stupid "funny" moments (except that with Afro-san, but it was cut as if Kubo realized that we don't need this f*cking humour in such serious moment)!
Also I think Ichigo looks better with really serious face. And this chain on his arm...reminded me Hisagi, aww you know shackled men are so hot... ^_^

And yep, series are going to the end T_T

SQUEEE!!!! OMG that was the best episode yet i was and still am vibrating from excitement!!!
Ichigo's entrance was awsom he looks hot (the chain and hair you have gotta love) and the music was brilliant, just WOW!!!
Aizen just looks ridiculous, cant help but snort everytime i see him :D
I dont wanna wait a week to see the next episode!!!

Just watched it again and i really love that facepalm :D also i have come to the conclusion that ichigo should really loose his left sleeve to make his outfit that more badass!!!

No. Aizen can sense his "power". Ishin & Urahara couldn't sense Aizen reiatsu "accurately" but Ichigo doesn't have got any reiatsu now. His reiatsu is transformed into body, as said in anime

Ichigo training is much longer than in manga, but it's good enough!

Gin!!!
I cried for Gin. Especially when Rangiku cried.

But such an amazing episode!! And I can't stop laughing everytime i see Aizen as a butterfly.

Loved the facepalm and how Aizen actually showed a surprised face! Ha! That's right Aizen, you aint the strongest any longer XD
But I LOVE Aizen's seiyuu!! Such a voice...

I feel sorry for Gin when Rangiku cried too. Anyway I love seeing Aizen's facial expression several times he got unsettled in this episode, the months I've waited for him to get pwned is finally showing it's worth (evil grin). Looks like Ichigo is about to clean his clock. (I hope!)
You see there's no need to wonder where your god is,

Finally! In your face Aizen! That was so great, I already knew it (manga reader) but still amazed me.

Gin T.T It was so dramatic. Killed (?) by a butterfly...I understand Aizen's metaphorical evolution... it just doesn't get less lame with that.

EPIC... that's the only word that could describe this episode, like seriously. I haven't been this hyped from an episode in forever and Ichigo just pwned Aizen like it was nothing! Ugh I loved every second of it because Aizen had just been grating on my nerves with his smug ass but now it's time for a taste of his own medicine!! Oh and Isshin looks pretty hot with a full beard xD

Feaking awesome. Extremely well done. Been waiting for this part to be animated ever since the manga chapter was released, so glad I wasn't disappointed!

Absolutley amazing episode. Considerin that I really didn't even like these chapters in the manga, I have to give major props to the anime team. They have far exceeded the quality of the manga when it matters most. Also loved the rock remix of Number 1 that played when Ichigo showed up.

ETA: Holy shit 95.5% love and 4.5% like?! When's a bleach ep ever got this much love.

Ichigoooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What did u do in that inbetween place~

Unfortunately... not much is told about the fight in the Manga either... we're all in the dark yet still even after the start of the new Arc.


Wolffen said:
Super scared now! Once Aizen is dead .....? Will bleach end? What it next? Fillers?
Now that Ichigo is this powerful, what "bad guy" could stand up to him? Heco Mundo king is dead as well. Can Ichigo evolve even more? Seams to be logical place to end the series /cry

BTW what is up with the Nazi sword? Huge Swaz on it? In his transformation Ichigo joined the SS lol wired?

I hope it ends... Seems like a good [place to end it... especially after what happens to Ichigo, but of course, the Manga is still going on... but doesn't mean that the Anime should too. As for the Swastika... you know it's not a Nazi symbol to begin with right? And also... that "Swastika has always been there in his Tensa Zangetsu(Bankai) form...


Blackbird said:
His father said something like that before it's like training in 10 000 years if I remember correct that's of course that Ichigo overpowered now.

I reckon the training was actually just about a month, if not days or weeks. Believe me... it's not years. The time ratio is 1:2000 and Aizen and people have probably only spent about 20-30 minutes but probably less.


Tharand said:
oh btw what's with some people making a fuss over the swastika? It's ALWAYS been there in bankai form. Nothing new here.

Exactly my thoughts.



Now to stop with the quoting, my personal thoughts. Hm... this episode was pretty good... but not as impressive as it was in the Manga. Unfortunately... when this arc ends... it'll leave all you "Anime" watchers in an enormous Rage Mode. Because that's how it was in the Manga, be warned... nothing will be explained, a lot of things will be brushed aside and forgotten(including full fights), and the ending of this arc will come very quickly and will leave you all confused. You should've seen when the Manga arc ended and the new one began, people went mental (I nearly did too).

Also known as the Trope if some people are familiar to... called GAINAX ENDING. Where the ending of something is so fucked up that it leaves nothing but confusion and rage in the fans.

This. is. bleach.

Notice the swastika on the sword!


That is indeed a swastika on Ichigo's sword, but I don't think it's in representation of the Nazis. I believe Kubo intended it to be a Buddihism reference. You can read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swastika

It was absolutely awesome to see this animated! It was hard to watch Gin get owned by Aizen (who looks even more ridiculous in motion), but Ichigo's slamming palm to his face was sweet justice!!

I'm trying to understand what Aizen took from Rangiku. Was it her soul or her latent soul reaper abilities? I hope Kubo evenutally follows up with this.
Ichigo always had the Manji symbol-like hilt on his Bankai.

Yet another thing that confuses me about Aizen. The main question is what purpose did Ichigo have in Aizen's plans that's one thing I never got at all.

Well the beginning of the episode was sad because Gin was dying
and I REALLY didn't want him to and it just made me upset, but then the rest of the episode went on. When Ichigo showed up everything changed. I LOVE his hair all emo like and stuff and he was hot XD (Excuse my fangirlism please) ANYWAYS, as soon as he face palmed Aizen, I burst out laughing, I mean who wouldn't?? Then when the fighting went on I began to freak out. Aizen was being all cocky and Ichigo was just like :/ and it was just amazing! This is my favorite episode EVER! Can you tell I liked it? XD

This was fantastic!!! I haven't been this happy to watch Bleach in forever. Gin's eyes looked great even though he was dying. The second Ichigo showed up I had a grin on my face. I don't read the manga but the music just told you that Ichigo was overpowered. The chain going up his arm looked awesome. His hair looked great but that may be only because of the way he looks at everything. His stare was just...awesome and I loved the Elfen Lied reference on the first page here. The facepalm was just so needed to shut Aizen up and was a great way to get viewers ready for this fight. Aizen was just so cocky in the fight that my grin just got bigger. I could tell right off the bat that Ichigo was the one who destroyed that mountain. When Ichigo stopped his sword and Aizen had his WTF speech I was laughing my ass off. Jeez I typed a lot...oh well the episode was just that freaking amazing!

Same here. I didn't even remember Gin having a monologue. In fact I didn't remember half of this episode being in the manga so I too re-read the chapter and it really was there. Althoug I have to admit that I usually don't spend too much attention to the "dialogue" in Bleach.
