Ichigo, Mastering the Fullbring! - 一護、完現術を使いこなせ！ ~ Ichigo, Furuburingu jutsu o tsukai konase!.

Next episode:

Ichigo vs. Ginjō! To the Game's Space - 一護vs銀城、ゲームの空間へ ~ Ichigo vs Ginjō, gēmu no kūkan e.

Fairly boring fight, though Ichigo's Fullbring is nicely animated.

Jouten · 2011-12-20, 18:16

It was better than the episode before...

Kafriel · 2011-12-21, 02:06

Fun omake, okay episode. Jackie was completely ignored, lol...fight was better than the last one, but it could have been a bit more. Once again, we have Ichigo giving facials to everyone with his black reiatsu, that's one minute gone to waste

Lumir · 2011-12-22, 03:13

That getsuya armor is something else. The combat pass's soul has the memory of ichigo's power up to the fight with aizen. How can some fullbring people even hope to compete even when its incomplete?

ookamigirl · 2011-12-24, 11:17

Tsukishima vs Ichigo.
Pretty awesome watching them fight.
Ichigo's power was cool, but he needs to train more.
Nice episode!

Guido · 2011-12-25, 18:31

First of all, Merry Christmas to all of you.

And, now moving on with the main discussion, cool fight and nicely animated Ichi-FullBring.

He still exasperates me with that so obsessed attitude to fight and not staying put, but Ginjou managed to tame him down for a minutes.

Ginjou doesn't fall down, as his FullBring in action is so badass, and we got to see a taste of Yukio's fond for videogames in action.

wingdarkness · 2011-12-26, 06:09

Been loving this arc so far, but the first roadblock occurred to me...I'm not really feeling the fullbring flying thing...I was happy not to see anymore people standing in the air fighting since we entered the real world...Now Samurai Bookworm just floats effortlessly in the sky, with Ginjo later doing the same...

Fight was cool in the sense we get to see Ichigo yet again show his acceleration of understanding battle mechanics...I also dug the explanation Chad highlighted about Ichigo's outfit always being a manifestation of his true ability...I'd just like to see them subtract the Jetblue fullbring flight fighting...That has a potential to get old quick...

Spoiler for SPOILERS FOR NEXT EPISODE (KInda not spoilers but a warning of stupidly put spoilers):

I'm sorry, by end of 354, do you mean the ending scenes? Scenes after the ED/Credits? Like what are we talking about here? and if it's the end from somewhere before the ED, can you tell me at what time they start showing this spoiler? I don't follow the manga so I would not like to get spoiled. Thanks for the heads up though!

Suryce · 2011-12-27, 13:51

Kyero Fox is talking about the scene in Urahara Shop, just before the ending. In the manga, the identity of the third character is not revealed.
I don't know if they have a plan, but it's a strange choice coming from the anime. You're not supposed to know who this character is, it will affect later events.

ookamigirl · 2011-12-27, 14:49

Ichigo still in training to reach his full capacity.
Can't wait to see Ichigo in full power vs Tsukishima.
Ginjo sure is strong, but takes things too far.

Aqua Knight · 2011-12-27, 16:32

How could they not show that person if that person was speaking? I mean we would all recognize the voice...

Suryce · 2011-12-27, 16:57

That's true, but it's still a strange choice of adaptation to rush this revelation.

The anime already had to deal with a similar problem in Turn Back the Pendulum (the flashback arc about how the Vizards get banned of the Soul Society). There was a scene with Aizen, Gin and Tousen doing Hollowfication experiences, with their faces hidden. The anime kept the scene the same, but deleted the dialogue.
It would have been even more easy to applied this here, where that third character has only one or two lines, and not decisive ones.

true. imo though it wasnt really that big of a revelation in the manga so maybe nobody cared to keep it secret for long in the show

dragonmeister · 2011-12-28, 16:15

Woo. More filler. Thank you Santa Kubo. Just what the dragging plot-line needed at this story juncture.
(Though the omake was epic)

yogotah · 2011-12-28, 16:22

So I'm guessing this is the thread for the 354 episode that came out yesterday right??

Well anyway, contrary to what others believe I am really liking this arc. Seeing Ichigo start from scratch is kind of refreshing and this new power is weird but interesting. The villain however, seems kinda of plain (and obviously every villain would look plain compared to Aizen), but since his motives for now is unknown I won't judge him as a character yet.

If seeing rukia at the end of the episode was a spoiler by the show, then I'm glad they show it now, since I don't think seeing rukia in any situation will really surprise me

kvi · 2011-12-30, 23:12

This arc is ok, but I wish they could have done more with Ichigo's friends. When this arc started Ichigo was the weakest among the characters which should have allowed everyone else a little spotlight,but in the span of a couple of episodes not only is everyone else back to background filler, but Ichigo is almost back to where he left off.

Neosovereign · 2012-01-03, 13:08

so no ep 354 this week?

sayde · 2012-01-03, 14:40

354 was released last week apparently. Feel free to discuss that episode in this thread. With that said, 355 will be airing next week on the 10th. So no Bleach this week.
