Discuss Bleach Episode 209!
The suspense is really building up with these killings. I'm not sure who exactly to suspect. Aizen? Gin?

Good episode- I would suspect Aizen as mastermind and Gin as his minion...It was a bit surprising that the capitain of the 9 unit was killed so easily...

But finally we know the meaning of the 69 tatoo on Shuuhei's face...

Is he really dead from jut being run through once? I'm not used to seeing people die so easily on Bleach, even just dying once is rare :p

lol are you guys even paying attention? This is all basically a flashback and the person who was stabbed is Kensei who is alive in the future. He obviously survives.

The 69 tattoo is sexy on both Shuuhei and Kensei. I think it was Aizen the blackness was his illusion and then he stabbed him.

little hisagi was too cute, little akon (12th squad lab) was a smart-ass, and mashiro was hella annoying
did anyone notice that one of the guys inthe 9th squad looked like a brown-haired ukitake?

I think it had to be Tousen who did the slayings using his bankai. He refused to go in and rest. Everything went black to Kensei and he couldn't move until he was stabbed. He turned his head and recognized someone he was familiar with, I'm pretty sure it was Tousen using his bankai...which most people probably didnt know he had. thus total surprise. I liked this episode, yay less hiyori, her argument with mayuri was funny though. I love mashiro, I wonder what she was dreaming about.^_^

Chibi Hisagi. <3

BROWN HAIR UKITAKE!

Kensei's smile was creepy but his interactions with Mashiro were funny.

That was definitely Tousen's bankai.

I'm guessing that is Tousen, and also there was a guy with the captain who was never named and not killed at the end, or not that we saw, so that might have been tousen too?

Nice episode though, as soon as i saw Hisagi it was obvious who he was XD

"you..." who???

To me, it doesn't make sense that the person behind all the killings is Aizen, Tousen, or Gin. It doesn't seem right that they would have committed these shady acts 110 years ago and still keep their positions, only to betray the soul society again in the present timeline. It just seems kind of stupid to me, unless there's something that I don't understand.

Mayuri vs Hiyari is so funny lol.

So Kensei was the one that inspired Hisagi, I'm glad that they both are getting some back story.

Obvious person behind the attacks would be Tousen, perhaps too obvious...

MATSUMOTO! ^^

We can say it was the only thing that made sense this episode.

These mysterious nightmarish things that occur now build up an atmosphere I can easily relate to FMA(especially the first run).

Hot damn, squad 9 wore some cool as hell outfits, except for that annoying lieutenant, to think she gets to that degree of literally making her captain snap. That scene where she fell asleep went a little bit overboard.
Looks like the captain is down, I hope not, he really looks cool and would like to see him on a serious fight, and it looks like it's the best time for something like that, we didn't get to see much about him as a Visord either.
My bets are on the blind dude that's with Aizen in the present timeline, he was able to do that Bankai trick of darkness.
Pretty surprised they even went ahead and introduced Hisage this early on, looks like he looked up to this captain to have had tattoed 69 on his head. It makes sense now, along with a lot of other things, I love this arc.

slow plot buildup, was not necessary. 
But yeah, bleach also justifies the necessity of this slow , detailed plot building before any spectacular event and fights.
