Interesting, I had no idea that Ichigo's shihakusho was related to his reiatsu level. I was under the impression that Ichigo simply needed cancel his bankai and his shihakusho would go back to normal. Then when he goes bankai again his bankai outfit is all fixed.

Random thought, I like how Unohana runs. She has the small step ninja style. My guess is that she has a very refined fighting style with few wasted motions.

Tee-hee~!! Well besides Nii-sama's delightful presence, I did enjoy the little chat between Unohana and Ichigo. That's a shame she usually gets so little screentime (well the same goes for many other characters too xD).

the fate of the universe hangs solely on you little shinigami substitute, no pressure, mom taichou.

I hope Yammy seriously injures Kenpachi (and slightly injures Byakuya) so we can see I-S-A-N-E get her healing action on. Or maybe Nemu will get hurt and I-S-A-N-E can 'revive' her like Mayuri did.

Most Bleach episodes are set-ups. Amirite?

So wait...did I just indecently imply that "most" of Bleach doesn't appeal to me?
*shrugs*
Come to think of it, that might be true.

Really liked seeing the character interactions in this episode, namely the one with Unohana and Ichigo.

I agree, but there are just too many characters in bleach for us to get an adequate amount of screen time for our favorites.

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Uh oh. Everyone was calling each other by their full names. Seems everyone is pissed off at one another.

That is true, but it just seems that Ichigo just steals up to much of the spotlight, that the other characters are just left out most of the time. But then again as you said, there is to many characters that are listed that there is just not enough time to give them screen-time or we would have 5-10x more Bleach episodes.

Am i the only one who feel Unohana is hiding things?!! she's acting suspiciously like she is behind big things!!

i dont know if im overreacting but i feel it will be cool if Kubo did it.

Its news to me as well... I think they are going to show the new opening when the next episode appears Or probably find a good time during the middle of the episodes (episode 295?) to place it in.

This episode was slow as hell. Basically all that was shown was Kenpachi lolling around with Yammy and Ichigo and Unohana having their little talk. Since Ichigo's robe contained only one sleeve and a little, I guess that means Ichigo's reiatsu is at least three times Unohana's. There go the Unohana = uberstrong theories flying out of the window.

Also yeah it's ridicilous how Kenpachi looks, they always do this with the anime nowadays. If you look back to Ichigo's fight with Kenpachi, he looks freaking buff. Here he looks like a skinny guy.

It's the same thing with everyone's hands, they're like twigs. I guess it's just their style.

Remember, Ichigo's in bankai - his reiatsu output should be massively higher than his non-bankai level, only then matching that of Unohana at a near-resting rate (although his bankai isn't one for huge energy output)

You know what's crazy? How, logically, Ichigo should have been leagues stronger than all the other captains in the Gotei 13 once he reached Vizard status(Yamamoto excluded. It's been alluded to that he's even slightly more powerful than Aizen). But, Kubo makes it seem as if Zaraki is so invinsible(i.e. He beat a released Nnoitora and is toying around with a released Yammy after Ichigo couldn't do it), when, in fact, ichigo- once again, logically- should have long surpassed Zaraki after reaching Bankai, let alone Vizard and Hell knight. It's just so inconsistent sometimes, that's all.

Shush, if Kubo sees that you're questioning his ideas, he'll send Ishida to turn up at your house and destroy your soul with an arrow (not that we're supposed to know about project Quincy)

ichigo was kinda worn out from fighting ulquiorra, and (rather stupidly) thought it was a good idea to stop everything he was doing after he put his mask on and think about why it felt a little different... as if yammy wasn't going to knock him into a building a few miles away
