Bleach 203 Episode Discussion Thread

[CuXe]

So.... lemme start by saying that this ep was great! .... But it seems that those Capts in Karakura town are pretty much going to get their @sses handed to them... Lemme put things in my perspective:

-- Kenpachi had to go all out to kill Noitra #5 If I recall correctly. I am a big Kenpachi fan but even I could tell Kenchan was struggling to overcome Noi...especially when he said "man..I don't wanna die" ... and getting stabbed (in the neck?)

With that scene in mind picture this...

Obviously Ulquiorra is more than a deadly match for most captains and if Ichi is going to defeat him he'll have to bring out the demon inside him... Hollow I mean....lol....Aizen is a clear match for the old man and I am being generous as I think Aizen has more skills than the old man...

Then we have Shunsui who got owned by a guy using Hitsugaya's sword in a movie I think... can't recall really well... and Ukitake who is always sick... so we can't expect too much from him. The foxxy captain hasn't proven to be very effective and it is very likely Tousen will own him. Then we have Hitsugaya who I think will be fighting Gin... but Gin was just playing around with him during the fight they had in SS during the very first arc.

That leaves Soi Fon and the rest of the Vice Capis against the top 3 espada... Good gosh... Am I the only one seeing total Pwnage here? ...

The only "ray of light" I see for the captains in Karakura town is if those Vaizard come to the rescue ....

Things are bound to get very .. VERY interesting in this arc

[Salamandra]

Ignore the events in the movies as far as indications for power. Shunsui getting beaten in the second movie is in no way indicative of his power in the actual manga/series.

[CuXe]

mmm.. Making shunsui the equivalent of say Byakuya changes nothing in this case really.... the only way he'd have an impact is if hes able to take down one of the top 3 espada and that my friend..... that I gotta see!

[Ashura5000]

I find it kinda funny how in the anime, Ichigo is just about to go and battle Ulquiorra...

Whereas, right now in the manga he's...

rule of thumb...I'd try not to label anyone w/ power levels in Bleach, this seems more about match ups than strength.

Honestly, up until the very end, Kenpachi was enjoying his fight w/ Noitora and truly didn't go all out till he pulled out plothax kendo skillz.

As much as it hurts the fanboy in me...Kenpachi would of been shit out of luck if he had to fight either Zommari or Szayel.

[Kafriel]

Espada generally have unfair skills, resembling Aizen's in terms of hax (I own your mind, I break you from the inside,etc.) if Ichigo had to fight #7,#8 or #9 he'd lose rather fast considering how smart he is.As for the captain fights, take a look at the numbers:it's 6 VS a lot more, I don't think everyone will be fighting.

I loved the new ending where it shows the Vizards as captains and vice-captains. I figured that might get more mention here from the anime only viewers. Especially with who the captains where and their vice captains. Small Nano was so cute as well.

It's not anime only. Anime is going into a manga arc.

Manga>anime remember that. There wouldn't be a vaizard arc in the anime and not in the manga.

Exactly what did I say that prompted you to post what you posted?

All I said was that I liked the ending. That I'm surprise that it wasn't talked about more especially by the anime only watchers. You know the people that only watch the anime (which this thread is about). One can do that and not bother with the manga.

At what point did I saw something in the show was anime only?

[Mr. DJ]

assume they didn't really read what you said

Yeah my bad. Sorta read it wrong.

You'll enjoy the upcoming arc.

[Mitsuomi1971]

anime rules, manga drools...

[bleachnut]

I liked the episode a lot Particularly how I'm beginning to wonder whether or not Aizen has attempted to impregnate Inoue with his next spawn...it must be on his list of things to do, right? Create an heir?

[Guido]

There's nothing I have to feel or understand Nnoitora after this episode.

I mean I don't get whether the guy was a rampaging force of nature or simply he loathed the idea of dying a common death like that of an animal.

Spoiler:

But Nnoitora surely reaped what he desired: die a fantastic death of a warrior.

He struggled so much to force Zaraki all the way beyond the end of things, that even Zaraki himself called out Nnoitora's name once the fight was over in thanks for that rollercoaster ride both experienced.

Alright, ladies and gentlemen, so Bleach has now moved to the false-Karakura Town arc, which is a problem because the anime has nearly caught up with the manga. Hence, fillers will be unavoidable for a few weeks.

Spoiler:

So far we have that Aizen once again outthought and outsmart all the entire cast about 500 steps ahead or so, because capturing Orihime was but the ruse to provoke Ichigo and co. to follow after forcing half of Gotei 13 to look after them.

This leaves with SS little less than half of its power force, but things do not go quite well as Aizen predicted. Because old Yama-ji foresaw such complications in the distant future and had Karakura Town replaced with a replica, while moving the original to the SS.

Even if Aizen tried to have a love-child with Orihime, she'd perform an abortion with Shun Shun Rikka and reject the pregnancy...

Dang.....lol. That's like playing God there. Is her powers that powerful? Can she reject stuff into non-existence?

You think she'd dare to attempt such a thing while being in Aizen's grip? I don't know...he seemed AWFULLY friendly with her, and it seems like we're supposed to believe some funny business has gone on. He was practically embracing her in the last ep!

Yes, yes it is. Hence the reason Azein refered to her powers as trespassing into god's territory. She has already brought the dead back to life a few times. Her atack is rejecting the existance of a being.

Yeah but I'm pretty sure she'd be too afraid to do anything to herself to end the pregnancy or even heal her wounds, because if he comes to have his way with her again, he SHOULD notice she's returned to being a virgin, and then the beat down she got from the 2 hollow chicks will seem like a cakewalk in comparison to what I believe Aizen would do to her.

I think it would make a VERY interesting twist if at the end of the WW arc, if Inoue was pregnant by Aizen.
