Bleach 201 Episode Discussion Thread

You can tell easily from the way they draw faces. Next week's kenpachi for example looks like the younger brother of this week's kenpachi

Its a shame

and it's really nothing compared to how Tesla got slaughtered with all the blood, sliced limbs etc.

Yammy, Grimmjow, and Chad were all shown as amputees; Is this another example of timeslot PC, or did episode 200 fuck with my standards?

Another good episode of Bleach, quality of it was the same but it was still good. I think Implied have more impact on the mind than stabbed. Did they show yammi arm being cut off, I don't remember that. I remember it falling. Also, I enjoy the very end where Iba-san asking if he can put his captain on the animal variety show.

[MidnightViper88]

Waitwaitwait, I can't say too much about political correctness since they clearly showed Kenpachi making an amputee out of Telsa...

Yeah, they're fucking with our expectations and minds now...

[FlareKnight]

Still that was one fun episode. Just loved the bit with Yachiru warning Nnoitara about Kenpachi getting really mad if someone tries to attack her. Obviously was the denial there, but wouldn't at all doubt it. Only downside is we really never can see what Yachiru can do.

Still this is a fight that's taking a bit of time. Who knows, but might just be the time for Kenpachi to pull off a sword release. Considering how crazy strong the guy is that would probably be overkill though . Though assuming if he ever did learn his sword's name after the match against Ichigo.

Guess the one interesting thing was the attempt to leave the healing area by Ichigo. Can't recall anyone trying to do that. But it did reject his attempts to get out of there. So while healing it could also be an effective cage.

meh disappointed that it dragged on for another week...still in all a good episode...but irl fights last seconds lol(and I ain't talking baout those fake UFC fights)...so this is very frustrating

[blaqkpupil]

this episode was worth the wait <3

Spoiler for episode 201:

and i just loved the part where yachiru reminds kenchan that cutting off all of noi's arms is a bad idea

btw

Spoiler for translation:

santa teresa is saint teresa
why does is say "praying mantis?"

Who cares about what happens in real life, that's why we watch anime instead!

Seriously, I'm just glad to see two characters actually REALLY fighting as opposed to getting long winded diatribes by two blowhard characters for entire episodes.

Ichigo still getting bothered by Ken-chan's massive reiatsu but little Yachiru just standing there unfazed in her loli greatness. I really want to see what she can do as well.

Fun episode to say the least!

[Spectacular_Insanity]

Good episode. Lots of talking, though. I didn't count, but they said phrases like "Is that it?" or "Done already?" WAAAAAAAAY too often, lol.

And though I already read the manga, I had forgotten how Nnoitra pulled that fast one with his lower pair of arms. I had thought he had six at when he released his Resureccion, but for some reason I didn't think much of it once they started fighting. Personally, if I were fighting Nnoitra, I would totally be like "OH SNAP!" and run away.

true, but he meant the spanish term "insecto de santa teresa"

[Jerseykid]

It was nice to see the release otherwise nothing happened. I was more interested in Ichigo's reaction to Inoue's healing field.

[sayde]

That's what I like about Ken. Even after getting roughed up, he still finds more than enough strength to pull off the most humiliating moves.

Spoiler for the beatdown:

I think that's the second time he's done that during this fight. To be honest, I think Noi takes it pretty well. I'd be absolutely infuriated if someone did that to me in a street fight (providing I was still conscious enough to be infuriated in the first place).
Aside from that, I rather liked the subtle realization Ichigo started to have with regards to Inoue's powers.

Overall 8/10

[Freya]

Inoue=failure. How long does it freaking take to heal Ichigo?

[KholdStare]

That was a very nice episode. I really liked it. ^_^

-.-
You do realize you dont see his arm getting ripped off in the anime either
(Unlike with Yammy and Grimmjow)
all they did censor was Kenpachi poking his sword through the arm (and the stump being bloodier, but thats standard)
the rest was kept

[Shiryuu]

Nnoitora's release was pretty awesome.

I'd like to introduce you to my friend Plot-Fu.

I was more annoyed that Ichigo became Orihime in the single name calling department...

[MihawkXGP]

Awesome episode. So far the best fight in this whole Arc. Nnoitra's release was so dam awesome....everything about it was great...They did a good job on it.

[jelome1989]

so ep 166's still the episode to beat?

(havent watched the episode yet)

[alarmadadna hadi]

Very entertaining episode

Spoiler for Episode:

The background music that played with Noitora's release made it ten times more epic, pretty much like Mayuri's bankai couple episodes ago. The commend "Pray" was an interesting choice too. ^_^
