Episode 120 Discussion Thread

[Mr. DJ]

wow...all this Hitsugaya hate is really...stupid...he's still a damn kid for crying out loud, he doesn't have the experience as the other captains, but he's still well established for HIS AGE. Not everyone can be like Goku, be a rookie, go out and whoop your ass.

They probably took too long. If they lost those 3 (and #3 Ikkaku and #5 Yumichika) after Aizen, Tosen, and Gin... And VC Hinamori still out of commission.

SS would be down 4 Cap's and 3 VC's. And 2 of the remaining Cap's are all but useless in a battle (Ukitake, who's still too sick, and Unohana, who's skills seem to be only support). 5 Capt's vs. Aizen's army... Bad news...

But good drama

What happened to him? Cant remember anyting about that "sickness".

[Zu Ra]

It would be better if the Gin Vs Shiro arguments ceased. It has absolutely nothing to do with Ep 120 . If someone does feel the necessity to do so, please create a separate thread or using existing threads not this one

What? Ukitake has always been sick.. there are times where he doesn't show up for the taicho meetings because he's sick and there are many times where his sickness is brought up.

Well they still have Zaraki Kempachi who needs to kick some serious asses anytime soon. I really want to see him take action... =(

And of course I'm wondering about the Vaizard. My guess is that they interfere in ichigos fight and help him kick grimjaws ass.

[Lendial]

i would hate to see them suddenly pop up outa nowhere and save the day. unless there was a really decent explaination.

Another interesting error/retcon?--Hitsugaya's bankai lost about 75% of it's size (maybe more) compared to his release in the SS arc.

Considering that there's shinigami around? I doubt Shinji and his waifu coming to play

IMO Hiyori and her wifey Shinji are busy playing very competietive and challenging game of Kancho

[Lendial]

i think his small size, by size i mean his bankai, is due to animation quality rather than anything relating to power.

[KiNA]

Or the size is limited to his current power.. Since in RL, his power is limited to 20%, so the size is also reduced too..

btw Geta.. just realised you switching their roles there .. EEEBILLLL

[chubbyphil]

Although the shinigamis were quite weak this episode, Ururu's attack totally made this episode rule. She just totally showed him who's the boss.

Here is a kodak moment for the Bleach fans. According to the ratings, Bleach episode 119 made the top 10 list for the most watched show. It made the 9th place with a 4.5% viewer rating.

Probably because 118 was really good. They don't come out of the woodwork until they see something awesome =P.

I really don't think Renji's bankai can stand to grow 5 times...

Ukitate is perfectly able to fight when he needs to. I thought him standing up to the old man and avenging Keian were good examples.

As for Unohana i think she is more than meets the eyes. Remember her encounter with Aizen? She wasn't scared of him at all and Aizen seemed to have quite a bit of respect for her. Also when her squad was getting bullied, she calmly told them to stop and had them trembling in fear. She isn't rattled by anything, and I think there's a reason for that.

[KiNA]

It dont grow.. but lengthen (probably), compared the 1 in this episode with the one when he's fighting Bya..

or I'm just bullshitting .. and your are right

Good point, though I must say I have equally enjoyed episode 119. 118 was technically superior than 119 in almost every aspect of the overall animation, but from entertainment value, both of these episode had the same affect on me. Btw, there was also no Naruto in that week, so that could have played a factor how Bleach got on the top 10 list.

I agree, I think Unohana is some kinda of monster beast hidden behind a calm smile and smooth skin.


I can't wait to see her get serious.
