Gotei 13, Gathering in the Real World! - 護廷十三隊、現世に集結! ~ Gotei jūsan tai, gensei ni shūketsu! .

Description:

Uryū Ishida shows up and confronts the mysterious scientist while Kon is unable to respond. Nozomi is left unconscious, captured by Kira and Nanao. Ishida is defeated by the scientist and his zanpakuto, Raiku. Ichigo, Rukia, and Yoruichi are trying to form a plan to escape Soul Society since they assume the Reigai blocked the Senkaimon. Yoruichi sacrifices herself and fights the captains and lieutenants to let Rukia and Ichigo escape. Orihime and Chad show up to save Ishida and Chad is also defeated when he is trying to give Orihime time to heal Ishida. Ichigo and Rukia arrive and Ichigo proceeds with fighting the scientist. He reveals his name is Kageroza Inaba, and easily deals with Ichigo in his weakening state. Just as he is about to kill Ichigo and Rukia, Renji appears and attacks Inaba with his zanpakuto. The other captains and lieutenants involved in the incident arrive to face Inaba, and Hitsugaya retrieves Nozomi after dealing a blow to fake Kira. The scientist then admits that he is behind the Reigai incident, and then claims once he has Nozomi, he will be able to conquer Soul Society and the World of the Living. Inaba escapes to Soul Society and meets with the Reigai. He deems them the Invading Army, and tasks them with retrieving Nozomi and eliminating the originals.

It is sad how badly fillers are treated when they are 10 times better than original material -_-

Anywan... since when Soi Fon is in the world of living? I was sure that she was is SS with Unohana, Ukitake and Kyouraku.

Episode happened to be more interesting than preview suggested. I actually start to enjoy interections between Kon and Nozomi. Goind by how things develop and OP, I guess they will become really close. Too bad they will eventually have to say goodbye. Kon really started to take liking to her.

Somehow I knew that Matsumoto was fake, even though it was Matsumoto like approach it still felt off somehow. It was a good plan, if the meeting took longer and Kon would never meet the original, things would work out.

Looks like next episode will be Omaeda VS Omaeda... doesn't sound exciting, hopefully something else will happen.

Lol at the special, Hitsugaya had such devilish smile while cooking his meat. Mayuri sure is evil

lol. I would've never predicted Ichigo would befriend some of these guys enough to end up holding a casual meeting in his room at the time when they were first introduced like this:

Spoiler for anime:

One could say they've come a long way. lol
As for the rest of the episode itself, it wasn't bad I suppose. It's a comedy-oriented ep that further sets-up the plot. Not much else I can say really.

[Kyero Fox]

What i want is some Serious Kon time. if she ends up crushing on ichigo i wont watch another filler with a new girl character in it =\

[kitten320]

^That would be bad... I had enough of manga girls falling for him for no reason, please not her too! That will be a mega turn off!

[Excelion]

Judging by the opening, I'd say it's pretty likely. As for the episode, we got some foreshadowing with fake-Matsumoto's bracelet with the black crystal. Hopefully defeating the fakes isn't as simple as breaking that crystal. Would assume the other fakes all wearing black crystals in some other fashion. Also a nice scene where Nozomi shows interest in Kon because he was revealed to be a mod soul, as in he's artificial just like her most likely. Good to see they're continuing to be subtle in regards like that thus far.

[Spectacular_Insanity]

The current opening kinda reminds me of the opening for Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro. Then again, I think it's by the same group. I don't know for sure, though. They're kinda similar in any case.

At least this filler arc seems to have a plot, like the Bount and Amagai Yuusuke arcs. Seems pretty good so far, as I haven't got any real complaints.

[Mr. DJ]

Kon's bravado was kinda...stupid in this episode. Kinda hard to take it seriously when he's in a stuffed animal. Also, the quality of animation continues

[Wiggy Fuzz]

i thought it was funny, kon trying no doubt to do an ichigo - and reality happening. by the way, how much pain does he feel in that body?

[wingdarkness]

Now this is more like it Bleach fillers...Unnecessary amounts of non-action (Disappearing fake red-heads FTW)...Entire episodes based upon the feelings of stuffed animals, long stretches of time seemed purposely used to fill time: Quincy chitokes!

Bleach, if you're gonna give us a fight porn arc, let's just dismiss the pleasantries...I love Kon as much as you can love a porno-erotic stuffed chibi-lion, but he should never be the subject of more than 1 episode per season...Let's get on to the fighting because honestly you can have about 40 episodes if you just have the top 10 shinigamis battle their doubles...Don't eff the filler arc up when there's so much easy win out there...sheeesh...

[kitten320]

^Wasn't 3 years of non stop fighting enough?

I like action and all but right now i want some plot, action will always come. And I better watch Kon than Ichigo. Kon is at least more entertaining and he barely has any love in manga anyway. Let him shine at least once.

lol. That depends really. Because the majority of battles we saw involved secondary protagonists vs secondary fodder (a.k.a privaron espada, Exequias, & fraccion members). So if you only cared about a very small handful of those battles (which is very likely), then perhaps those 3 years still might not have been enough for some.

Point well taken. Though I can at least see where wingdarkness' impatience is coming from. Because unlike the previous canon arcs this filler actually holds the potential to give us plenty of battles we'd find interesting for a change. (Now how sad is that?)

[wingdarkness]

...that depends really...

Exactly, the fights for the last 3 years, most have been lame as hell, INCLUDING Ichigo vs. Aizen for the most part...The prospect of equally powered captains fighting their doubles, and those doubles fighting other captains are far more high level than Soi Fon's fatso lacky fighting Barranger or whoever skull dude was...Add on the fact that Bleach has been given awesome production for the first time in years, I don't wanna waste it on Kon love trouble...I do like Kon though, but $hit let's understand that he's KON!

[kitten320]

I understand your impatience, i myself am starving to see those fights especially Soi fon VS Hitsugaya.

And yeh, manga fights were shit... hopefully this arc will make fights better.
