It's not his glasses I was looking at.. it;s his bow.. it seems to change shape and size every time you see it.. it starts off small and with one handed machinegun action.. but it grows and suddenly he needs to pull the arrow back..
don't know if this is normal for him or it's just weird

[medigo]

well at least the last few minutes of the episode were nicely animated

[Yoruichi]

Yay Yoruichi-chan is back! But yeah like noir senshi said about the ominous atmosphere when Yoruichi confronted Inoue, I thought bad things and was like oh no, maybe a shapeshifter, but then I knew my imagination was going into overdrive. Also as the Wanderer said about Sandle Hat getting Renji to train Chado, his bankai is prolly one you can't #$%@ with or your toast. Just the same way you wouldn't ask Byakuya to train someone like Chad, he'd be ripped to shreds.
Momo gone coocoo, I don't think she will ever be the same again. I see her somehow getting back to Aizen, Aizen charming her once again and using her as a bargaining chip, I hope that don't happen though. The only thing to help Hinamori would be a SS shrink, and if they don't have one handy they will need to use the closest person to that... cue Dr. Kurotshuchi Mayuri. On second thought I dunno if I'd want him poking around in my head.
Greeny googles was cute in this one the way she argued with Kensei "See, See? You're a dummy Kensei! And a meanie!" Of course Hiyori is always cute in her tomboyish Vaizard kind of way. Lisa seemed to act as though she was somewhat attracted to Orihime. Taking her side and implying she's cute. Hmm but the question is now that Ichi knows about the key to end all keys, will the other Vaizards even care. Ichigo seems brimming with confidence now, which is good mind you, but, you thought he was cocky before, he better watch himself cause I'm pretty sure he ain't all that just yet.
I like when Urahara was talking about Sado and how his powers have room to grow and if he continues his training against Bankai he will take them to the next level, let's hope it's worth the wait. He did mention about Chad and Orihime's powers not being like Shinigami or Quincy. So perhaps when a human masters their reiatsu they will be another species/type of being altogether, rather interesting. The same way Tatsuki, Karin ect. could fall under that catergory.
Ishida, I have a little more respect for him now. Since he could dodge and put up with all the attacks thrown at him by his dad for such a long time, and unable to go on, but still digging down to keep it up, props to the Quincy. Then he had the right idea but pulled out the wrong trick and got skewered. I was like oh shit, but then when his dad explained things I was like ah cool. Things just keep getting better, hopefully next episode will show more of Aizen and the goings on in HM. Two weeks to ponder.. nooooooooo!!

[Ryuk]

good episode, only irritating thing was Ryuken's growing/shrinking bow.

[FlareKnight]

I feel bad for Hinamori, she's made some strides in her recovery but its a long road. Not all that surprising since was the most manipulated and mentally damaged by him. The first part of the conversation was nice since you could see them dealing with what happened and getting their relationship back to normal.

Poor Hiyori feeling bad that Shinji was calling all the other girls his first love and not her. Hiyori and Ichigo seem to be working well together, though the guy has to find some way to deal with the dreaded sandal attack.

Seems like Ishida has had a pretty tough time. His father doesn't seem to be the type to hold back at all and really put Ishida against the wall before shooting him. What a weird relationship those two have, heck Ishida's father just confuses me to no end. Not like Ishida made the wrong choice with his last move but he just didn't want to kill his father. His plan had been to restrict his father and put an end to what seemed to be a pointless training. How a man talks so calmly after shotting his son milimetres away from his heart is something I can't understand.

[Mists]

Good episode, Bleach seems to be moving at a nice page. Although, for a second there I thought the filler team did a good job again, adding the idea that Aizen is after the King's Key (or is this in the manga like I truly believe). Isn't the anime getting really close to the manga? I wonder what will happen then......

[DarkHollowIchigo]

nice episode....I cant wait to see Ichigo go @ full strength Against Grimmjow ...lets see who's stronger NOW! XD

[Vicious108]

For a episode that revolved mostly about just training, it was pretty good and very well paced. Hinamori scene was very impressive, her character is interesting IMO, still veru unstable.

The conversation between the Vaizards was great, Shinji being awesome as usual. Yay at Yoruichi finally showing up again. Renji/Chad and Ishida/Ryuken training could have used better animation but oh well.

And that last of shot of Ishida fallen on the ground with the arrow pierced through his chest looked awesome in the manga, but they they barely showed it for one second. >_>

Anyways, seems like next episode it will be the next step of Inoue becoming Emohime.

Yes the King's Key is in the manga^^
Mod souls are the only fillerstuff at the moment.
I think we will be save for around 20 or 30 episodes. The only thing I'm afraid of is that there isn't a good place to add a fillerarc right now.

Hearing about that the girl with the green hair could transform without practicing before made me wonder how strong she is.

Last part was pretty cool. And what's with the shinigami golden is back. I expected another teaching hollow lesson.
Maybe they will switch from week to week.

yaya......i wanna see the green hair mashiro at her hollow form do some sparing with ichi. I just can't see such a cuteness become a monster like that......she just tooo cuteee......

I also waiting for hollow 101 lecture from SC series. oh well, this episode SC was pretty good anyway. poor renji getting bullied by uruhara household

they should release omake episode showing history of vaizard. then maybe they will slip in fan service scene with mashiro and risa-chan fighting against nanao-chan, matsumoto, and ururu......in swimsuit......now that's a good episode......

i don't know why everyone think hiyori is cute. Even shinji didn't think so....and i agreed with him.....

[Raihen]

hmm Urahara said something like : "Yes your power is just like ..." Maybe he wanted to said "like hollow", that would explain why inoue snuck into vizard headquaters.

Orihime's reason for entering was very clear: not because her powers are like a hollow.. but because her powers also work with barriers.. she said "it kinda reminds me of my Shun Shun Rika shield" and old pinkyhair also said he felt she had skills with barriers simmilar to his own. + Urahara was talking about Chad.. not Orihime.

[jianfish]

The reason why Urahara refuse to use his Bankai to train would most probably be because there would be nothing left of Chad to train after Urahara releases his Bankai. So he decide to send him "the noobiest Bankai" to train with dear Chad.

Hinamori is also so wrong. Its like one of those psycho shows where the victim never recovers. Now, that would be bad.

[Hisago]

Hand... HAND. O___o;;

[Thewanderer]

Does anyone else find Hinamori's uberloyalty kinda hot...?


...no?

[Lendial]

i find it physcotic and disturbing, its like aizen mental raped her into a mindless loyal automaton

that word made it sound 100 times worse >_< but alas its quite true...perhaps she still under his spell? poor girl...she looks completely worn out from stress...anymore and i think she will break

and LOL...the hand! XD

[FlareKnight]

Beware the hand. But you really have to feel bad for her. Can only hope she'll recover from the damage that guy did. Hitsugaya is trying but that kind of mental pain won't be healed quickly.

I think she's genuinely like that.

And I also think that there should be more girls like that in the world, actually...

Yeah, Aizen's a bastard for doing that. But I hope she never changes. I hope she tries to join his side or dies(lol) with those feelings.

Strange ideas, I know. But meh.

[shenzu]

A lot of people across the Net seem to hait Momo though ...

Poor her, hope she gets better, I want to see more Tobiume action
