I like Nnoitra. And I loved Szayel. I'm sad because they're both dead now :(

Well, it kinda left us hanging with Nnoitra, but I mean come on!, how much longer would that fight of lasted?

The new ending is beautiful. :)

I just love how Nnoitra was "ripping Kenpachi apart" yet he only bled like twice. Everything else was just his clothes getting ripped.

haha, aye~

was a decent episode good animation. flashbacks were a little annoying, but that is to be expected with bleach..
the part where he uses 2 hands~ like the big power up is for him to use actual technique. i laughed when i read it in the manga, and i think i enjoy it more so then the animated version.

i hate the fact that bleach is repeating the last episode in the first 5 min of the show, thats just bulshit.
The episode it self was great, this fight must be one of the best if you ask me :P (but i just love kenpachi) its so great to see kenpachi havind "fun" and when he gets serieus he kill's the f*k with one blow :D that briliant.

Yeah I'm a little tired of the long recaps, on the bright side I thought the animation in this episode was really good although I thought Kenpachi using two hands instead of one as his final trump card was a bit of a let down but I guess it fits his character.


It realy does fit his character.

Plus it was a pretty badass move to look at. Though sadly, it looks like so many other moves in Bleach =/

Ah well; I'm hoping for some Kiseki action now

These past eps have made me start to reconsider watching Bleach. Annoying flashbacks, dialog, and action sequences. Although Kenpachi letting loose was a nice sight to see. Nnoritra has to be THE MOST MOUTHY CHARACTER EVER, he says so much crap. His monologues pissed me off because it was such BS, getting help from Szayel to beat her then calling her weak because he won from that. Ugh it was driving me insane.

Hi there!
If you mean the one played at 5:50 , it's called "Invasion" , one of "The Diamond Dust Rebellion" OSTs
I'm quite fond of it , as well as another one called "Treachery" in the same album , I think you'll like that track too :)

Yawn! It's episodes like this one that make me wonder why I haven't dropped Bleach. Oh yeah, it's because I've watched this many episodes I don't want to drop it. @.@ I hope they get back to story-telling again and quit with the long drawn out fights. (This episode caused me to drop my rating of Bleach though.)

WOW, that's gotta be one of my new favourite Bleach fights or just fights in general! So freaking amazing! My only disappointment was when Kenpachi was like "I'm gunna have to use that..." and I was like "BANKAI???" but then he just holds the sword with 2 hands... kinda lame way to end such an epic fight, "oh I decided to hold my sword with 2 hands now so I win in 1 hit". Still other than that, AMAZING!

To those complaining about the recaps in every thread for the last 15 weeks: You're not watching it on TV, there IS a fast forward button.

Dude, do you have any idea whatsoever who Kenpachi is? He loves to fight. The only reason he brought out the Kendo-style was because he figured he MIGHT really die. He's also right when it comes to holding the sword with two hands making the slash stronger. He obviously hates using the Kendo style, since it kills the enemy too fast, leaving him with no fun at all. In other words, He deliberately makes himself weaker, first with the eyepatch and now with not using Kendo, in order to draw out the fight, thus enjoying it more. That's who Kenpachi is.

This episode was really boring, even with the fights imo.
What's with Bleach lately, or even the whole series in itself >< What's with the LONG freaking recaps!?
This episode, why the hell did they replay like the last 5 minutes of the previous episode in it. Doesn't make sense to me, so stupid !!

Just hope the next arc isn't as boring, and less recaps as possible, sigh~


There's a very simple explanation to that. Each animated episode is supposed to cover one manga chapter. When they're done animating the manga, there's still time left to fill on the 22-minute long episode, thus filling it with recap material. other times, they cut the recap time and instead add filler materials throughout the episode. And guess what. People complain then too. Now it's expained, and it should make sense to you. If not, pity on you.

That was a great episode, animation and all. I'm a little surprised they made the ending so spoiler-ish, but that arc isn't too far away. I also can't wait for the next episode~ :3


This.
No matter what happens no one seems to be happy. Lots of long running animes have recaps so it's hardly something new...

I thought this was a really good episode, i hope what people say about fillers isn't true! We just had a whole arc of fillers!

Finally the battle is over. It was a good one but Kenpachi came out on top as expected. Damn, just adding one hand makes that much of a difference.

I was feeling a little bad for Nnoitra in the end, probably because of Nel's kindness rubbing off on me. Oh wait, nevermind that bastard can go burn for cheap-shotting Grimmjow.

Now that the battles are over, what's going to happen next?

I want at least a glimpse of Rukia next episode.

Wow so that's Kenpachi's true strength. He is a monster indeed.

Nnoitra got what was coming, although I did feel a bit sorry for him.

A good ending to a battle that got borin at one point. Somehow Nnoitora, who's actually a respectable character with attittude, drew the short straw of the tragic character - and not just in the end, but during all his life. It's somewhat good that Zaraki respected his will, but still I feel way worse for Nnoitora than I felt for Grimmjow. Meh, I hate when cool characters end up like this.

This episode really gave me that "samurai" feel. Probably I like Bleach this much for a first time.

Wow, it was a really good episode. I enjoyed it. Finally, all the Captain vs Espada fights are over so we can move on with the plot already. Like I get it, it's shounen after all, but these past what, 15 (canon) episodes were just fights. And in Bleach every fight seems to follow the same formula, so they get kind of repetitive.

I hope they move on to Aizen now. And they'll explain why Gin joined him and why Aizen wants this King's Key and stuff like that >.< And when they first arrived to Hueco Mundo, didn't Orihime want to prevent the Hogyouku from being made using her powers? What happened to this plan?

Unpopular opinion: I actually like Orihime and I hope we'll see more of her. But seriously, does Kubo hate her or something? She just stands still, watching her friends dying.

And how was this new ending spoilerish to people who don't read manga...? I don't read manga and I didn't catch any spoilers.

No seriously. From all that attention Nnoitora's getting, it really seems like that.
But uwaahhh~ That Nnoitora/Nel scene at the end, when he's falling and she's waking ^_^ Ahhh~ 'cuz it's obvious he's totally crushing on her.
From ED (I didn't see the whole thing because I was using that time to log onto MAL), it seems like there's going to be shinigami flashback or something? Uwaahhh~ Young Gin!! (I pray that it's still YUSA's CV, though :3)
